@cbouzy

Mr Bouzy, sorry to bother you, but I hope you can help. Is there a way for me to go back to my posts and interactions from about a year ago? And can I see them even if I or the other party has blocked the other?

Or, might I ask for a follow up on a report I made? I think it was my 1st.

I wanted to give an explanation for what I posted earlier today.

First off, I have no idea what sort of bullying fruitfacekace has been undergoing, and I abhor bullying

I experienced schadenfreude at their discomfiture though, because Kace basically threatened my life the first time I met them.

There, i finally got that off my chest.

If anyone else wants to block me for calling out someone who thinks killing millions of people is funny, block ahead.

I almost feel like unblocking @FruitFacedFruitKace so I can laugh while they whine about being bullied.

Maybe if they weren't such a bully themselves it wouldnt be happening to them.

Genocide still funny Kace?

Don't let the door hit ya on the way out, you poor excuse for a human being.

That moment in American history when squirrels were one of the most popular pets in the USA. President Harding had one. Benjamin Franklin mourned one so much he wrote an ode to his little buddy. More recently, fans of Bob Ross might remember his pet squirrel named Peapod,

"Rock and Roll Heaven...didn’t just pay homage to one deceased icon, but four of them: Elvis, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, and Jim Croce. And it didn’t do it merely with costumes or note-for-note vocal imitations: O’Day hired plastic surgeons to physically alter his tribute singers"

Nigerian born Grammy award winner, Burna Boy together with fellow Grammy winner, Senegal born Youssou N'dour, show how trad African music can meld with more modern styles

There's lots more artists to share, but I think that's it for me, at least for now. Enjoy

So, in the middle of a tribute to African artists, I am going to be the stereotypical middle-aged white guy and demand some attention for myself, completely distracting everyone from the overall goal

Amazingly, this collaboration album was Miriam Makeba's sole Grammy Award, and it came in a category for ethnic music.

The lady is a legend. She deserves a posthumous lifetime achievement award from the Academy. If not an apology, some recognition would be good.

“What the hell happened here?” he asked. “Did we cut his damn airway off?”

They said no. As medics continued to work on Turner, the quizzical paramedic asked, “Y’all ain’t recording are you?”

The officer turned off his body camera. Goodwin’s screen suddenly went blank.

I looked at someones profile today, and they claimed to be an ailurophile, and I thought:

Hey! I love garlic too!

But, since I always have a NEED to know, I looked the word up. and I thought:

Hey! I love cats too!

This is a hammered dulcimer, a stringed instrument which is played like a piano, except the musician plays with 2 spoon shaped hammers they use to hit the strings instead of pushing keys to activate hammers that strike them. It was possibly invented c900 C.E.

Tuned medieval cup bells. I am no expert but these look like a more modern set than some of the cruder period ones I have seen in other recreations. In any case, they definitely provide a unique melody.
