    Funny story. I always liked Dali. I went to the museum in Florida with my wife when we did the King Beauty's tour there.... They were so friggin rude to my wife for a couple of reasons I told them to shove the tickets up their ass, got a refund and walked out. Never got to see it and were right there. Long story... but I am sad we never went to view the art there...

    That's too bad Kris. I have been to the old museum many times and the new one once. Loved every time I went. He is obviously one of favorite as well. It's a tight rope though, trying to collect books and art but I am managing somehow.

    Went to the museum years ago and loved it. If you like Dali, it should be a bucket list item.

    I agree. I will say it here as well. Your Double Day books look really good Garrell. That's one of my goals.

    Q. What did Carol Channing say to Salvador when they met?

    A. "Well, Hello, Dali!"

    No prob Brian. I would be interested also. Kind of boring in here until I get more books. But, I admit that I am lazy. So, I need a vote. Do people want to see my new Barker books or not. It's cool with me either way. But I really don't feel like starting another thread since I am probably done or very close to it.

    OK. It will take a bit since I already have a few and I am getting more next week. But I will slowly put them up.

    They grabbed her purse as she walked by and told her she could not bring it. SHe asked the guard to please take his hands off her purse... Then as he did that... he grabbed the Dunkin DOnuts coffee out of her other hand and said that was not going in there either. My wife is sweet as apple pie.. ask RF, David or any other member that has met her. I lost it on him as it was unprofessional and rude. He said too bad.. leave it you want. We did.

    Wow. They grabbed at her purse? I went with my mom and aunt and I don't remember saying they could not bring their purses in. That's just wrong that they grabbed at her at all. The coffee also. I am not saying what they did was right. Believe me when I say I am not justifying what they did and how they did it but if you look on their site you will see these two rules
    Please leave all backpacks and other large bags in your car or use our lockers near the front entrance. A purse is obviously not a backpack and it does not say anything about a woman's purse.

    The other rule
    Cafe Gala offers light Spanish-inspired fare during regular Museum gallery hours*. The cafe is located on the first floor of the Museum. Inside and outside garden seating is available. No reservations needed.
    Food and drink (including bottled water) are not allowed in the Museum’s galleries.
    So it's a rule. Now by me posting these am I in any way excusing their behavior. It sounds like they were very aggressive towards the two of you. That is wrong. It's too bad because they really have
    very nice pieces to look at. Although the new building does take some getting used to when compared to the older building.

    Agree Brian. Some people just use their authority to the n'th degree when it's not needed. I will see if I put my Barker books up. Still debating in my head.

    You know, going through other threads I have noticed something. Sometimes people put personal stories or events that have happened to them. Good and bad. Well, it got me thinking, maybe I should share my story. I think I will update the first post and if anybody has questions or comments, they can post them here. I hope people take this as just a peak into my life.

    Mike, some story and you are a fighter my friend. I was in a coma in late 2016 (thirteen days for me) so I can empathise to an extent - although nowhere near as bad as you had/have it.

    I’m glad you’re here, collecting with us.

    But, gee whiz Mike, didn't anything interesting ever happen to you?

    JK, buddy. That's really something. The near death experience always makes me wonder...was that really true? Or, as Pen & Teller would say, was that your brain doing that to you? I'll opt for the afterlife explanation myself.
    I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
