Hello. I'm the new kid on the block.. Due to unfortunate circumstances beyond my control, I have been forced to look for Lucy elsewhere. This place has been highly recommended by a friend so I thought I would check it out. Looking forward to meeting you all. :wave:

Welcome, TJ! I'm Maggie (Magsilu on LT & LBO). :wave:

Welcome here TJ is great to have ya around a.k.a Pee (LT):wave:

Hello.

:wave:

Hello, TJ! You'll love it here. A lot of nice people!

Hi ya TJ, nice to see you here, it's dead lately here but it sometimes booms, so any day now it will get back to it's usual ways and it's more ADULT here than the OTHER place.

Yes, it has been dead here. But don't worry, we just need one good controversial topic to get this party started. Quick, someone bring that Cesar Romero thread out of storage!
:joke:

Anyway, welcome! :)

Cesar Romero had the hots for Desi and they got together, wow! Yes, that WAS a shocker. He also dated Lucy at one point. Wonder if he ever made a move on Carole? Paula? De De? If this goes nowhere, i give up!

Hi TJ! I'm Bekah (LT & LBO - OhNoUDunt)

Hope you like it here and don't let these people scare you ! :lol:

Sounds like fun to me. Perhaps we should all start having flings?! Splain, you me will be a nice warring couple, then Ricardos4Ever and crazyredhead can make up a twosome, then when the music stops it's all change... no, that's a different game.

I'm moving to Hollywood. It's more interesting there. :lol:

Bekah, i can't SCARE her, i'm the one who convinced her to come here, our homeland of LucyTalk is closing so we are bringing all the members to other sites, call us refugees at this point. And Mickey, that's what i like about you, you're always OPEN to anything new and different.

Yes, I know Claude!! Who said I was referring to you? *cough*

Guilt i guess!:lol:

LOL! :lol: aha!

Hi TJ.:wave:

Well, i fear TJ's much too nice to ever post anything controversial, we'll take anything from you TJ, come on now.

Yes, this board needs some controversial topic to get it going again! *gives evil grin*

Come on Crazyredhead, I know you can come up with a good one. :D :lol: Post away.

Anything but the spanking, Cesar or Lucy's shoe size please!:rolleyes:

Oh, the horror! ;)

Welcome, TJ! :wave:

So where are you TJ? As for the spanking, i swear this is true, i was watching The Jack Benny program on the weekend and Jack was angry at singer Dennis Day and he spanks HIM, so what do you politically correct people wanna do about that????? LOL!

LOL! *puts on thinking cap* ehh should I bring back Lucie Hates Lucy? LOL!! That was pretty stupid..it got me steamed up when I first came to the board. :lol:

Please don't!

I almost want LUCILLE BALL and onlyonelucy back..almost..those people really piss me off. I was looking at messages a lot of ages back, there used to be so many people here. Where has everybody gone? :confused:

Come on now, you know most people move on after a while. Thank God for the stalwarts like Dawsongirl and the two you mentionned. OnlyOneLucy is very busy lately and Jen is dealing with personal matters, i'm sure they will come on when they see something different or worthwile to talk about. Me, i still miss Jane! Bekah, even when they piss you off as you said, you don't mind it so much when it's someone who KNOWS what they're talking about. And the four people mentionned could curl your hair with what they know. There are still others like Ricardos forever and a few others who are just as knowledgeable but can control their opinions, wish they would titch me how!:lol:

LOL! I had actually forgotten about them until I was looking at some old threads then my blood started boiling again! :mad: lol Rawwr..I mean, they made you look like a Desi worshipper. LOL

Remember though that some people DO have contact with Lucy insiders, and sometimes you get told these stories that you just find unbelievable, but they heard Lucy say these things or saw it with their own eyes, you can't get angry, you just have to do what Ricardosforever does, you have to be fair, i also do that, every time someone attacks Lucy, i defend her, but when i do i try to also remember that she was not perfect either, none of us is, we are all human and flawed! But i DO agree with you though, i've seen old threads also, and it's true, they DO get you angry all over again! LOL!

LOL! I'm not diagreeing with any true facts they have, it's just some of the things they said. They were not being fair to Desi AT ALL! Like saying how stupid it was for us loving Desi, now that was ridiculous. Dawsongirl closed that thread, thank God. :lol:

By the way, Claude, who attacks Lucy? :lol:

Oh i dunno, maybe someone who tries starting a thread on who was the better parent? LOL! LOL! LOL!

LOL!! :p Hey now, I wasn't attacking LUCY or DESI. Still, she can afford to be criticized a little can't she Claude? lol

All human beings have flaws, i just think that when they criticize her parenting skills they have to take into account who she was and what she had on her plate, that lifestyle and reputation that she had got those two kids set up for life, the millions they have to spend NOW are because she worked so much back then to guarantee that lifestyle. Her lawyers said she did not want to wind up with hundreds of millions, she always said she just wanted her kids taken care of, and God knows they didn't get that from their dad. HOWEVER, seing as i spend money like Desi did, i can certainly understand how he wanted to live every minute to the fullest and enjoy his money, whereas Lucy deprived herself and didn't enjoy everything she could have, and worked so hard to get. You don't want the government taxes taking your millions when you die. So better to enjoy the money and let your kids make their own future, besides, with leaving them in charge of their likenesses for the rest of their lives, their children's children will be taken care of!

Yes, I agree with you. I know Lucy was a good mother who loved her kids, and taught them well. Desi loved his kids very much, the only thing that gets me is that he was a very bad example. I am very amazed at how those poor kids could see (or hear) all their parent's terrible fights and watch their father be drunk a great deal of the time. I wonder if their kids understand about Desi's cheating or knew about it? They don't mention it that much during interviews, even though I know now that they know about it.
Desi did though make time for his kids when he was home, but I heard from Lucie that when she came home she wouldn't spend time with them.

I don't necessarily think that Desi was a bad example in all aspects. He certainly was with the drinking, but he had a whole refreshing outlook on life that he was able to show his children, and it sounds like they appreciated it. He was also better at showing his affection for them -- something that Lucy had more trouble doing. Desi certainly wore his heart on his sleeve. So to say that he was a bad examble, period, wouldn't be accurate. He showed his kids how to appreciate life, whereas Lucy was more about instilling in them the need to work hard in life, strive to do your best. Kids need that contrast.

Yes, I love how Desi impressed the miracle of nature on his kids. Desi seemed to appreciate every aspect of it, the sunsets and stuff. Like Desi Jr said in the home movies. :)

Actually, it's hard to think of a better set up, a mother who thinks you should work hard and appreciate everything and do everything in moderation, and a father who wants you to appreciate all of God's gifts and live every minute as if it were your last. Those kids had it made. However, if you keep dwelling on their negative aspects, you come off as a crybaby who appears spoiled and can't move on.

Very well said.;) (except maybe that last line was a little harsh!:eek: )

Are you talking about me?? :(

Of course not, i was talking about Lucie Arnaz!

Oooh okay! LOL! :crazy:

I have nothing against Lucie, she did produce the best documentary on her parents, however, she should remember that all celebrity children have to watch what they say about their parents or their fans will ignite, as has happened to me many times.

Sorry to 'ignite you' but some things just can't be covered up. She had issues with her mother and I don't blame her for it; just that she finds the closure for them and move on.

We all need to remember that the stars of our favorite television shows are just people. Talent and an entertaining show does not necessarily reflect their personalities or personal issues.

She might be PEOPLE, bt she ain't like you and me.

She IS like you and me. HUMAN. Get it??:wave: Talent is just an addition. Like putting a hot tub in the back yard at your house.

C'mon guys, it's just a joke. lol!

I don't know about that. ;) Anyone with money can put a hot tub in their backyard but not everyone can act. Talent isn't just an addition.

We all have different types of talent.

I just tried to use a classic line from the show, but i guess i failed as none of you recognized it, Fred, at the Brown Derby referring to Ava Gardner?

If you don't recognize that line, then you're not a true fan! :joke:
I knew exactly what you meant, Splain, I laugh every time I hear that line!!!

Lolac

There are loads of scenes from the series that somehow get overlooked, i would add the bus tour of Hollywood homes, that one's a classic from start to finish, AND had the bonus back then of giving us fans the first look we ever had of Lucy's REAL house.

That was soo cool! Wasn't that the part when it showed the side of that white house?

When Lucy and Ethel are shown walking towards Richard Widmark's house, the house in that shot is Lucy and Desi's Beverly Hills home on Roxbury Drive. :)

But of course when i saw it as a kid, i assumed it was Richard Widmark's house, not knowing what a thrill it was to finally see Lucy's house, that took a few more years. Then in the fan magazines, they started showing Lucy at the pool or on the patio, or with the kids or at the front door, but you never saw the house properly. Check out a copy of the Barbara Walters interview, there are two versions, one short and one longer, and you see the garage, the backyard, the entrance hall, master bedroom and master bath, living room, and den, it's a knockout!
