I haven't seen or met any. That's a great list.

Thanks. There might be more, but those are all I can remember!. Lol.

**Melis** · 08-09-2009, 09:45 PM

Wow, cool. How were the ones that you met?

The ones I met were very cool. I stood in line for 3 hours to meet Alyssa Milano. She was at a video store promoting her new teen workout tape. Lol. I got to her and she smiled and said hi. I told her I liked her show and she said thanks. When I left, she said "take care". Of course, I told myself that she said that only to me. Lol.

I met Craig T. Nelson at a golf tournament. He's from here. We stopped him coming out of the clubhouse like it was nothing. He stood there and talked to us for 10 minutes!. Unbelieveable!.

I also met John Ashton at another golf tournament. That's where I also saw David Leisure. He made a put that he made, and when he came off the green, we told him what a great shot that was. He was kinda shy and said "Thanks" in an 'aw shucks' kind of way. Lol.

Haha! That's cute.

It is nice that you had good experiences.

Barrybgb · 08-10-2009, 12:12 PM

Yeah. It could of been different. They could of been unfriendly jerks but, thankfully, none of them were.

**Melis** · 08-10-2009, 01:10 PM

I always thought Alyssa seemed like a nice person. Glad that was true.

Barrybgb · 08-10-2009, 02:11 PM

She was very sweet and lovely. A guy outside told the waiting line that there was a mob scene at the previous store she was in and she had to be rushed into her limo to get away. So, she was pretty scared a little too from the previous incident.

**Melis** · 08-10-2009, 03:32 PM

Oh, I'd be scared, too.

Yep. I've met/seen other celebrities, but those were the big 80s ones. Lol. I did see Rod Stewart in concert twice. He's 70s, 90s, and today, but was his most popular in the 80s, probably.

My mom once saw one her favorite soap stars when we were at a museum. She wouldn't talk to him, but then some women ran up to him. She was screaming. I would have been very worried if I were him.

Barrybgb · 08-11-2009, 12:41 PM

Ha!. Lol. I've seen some soap people too, but most of them I had no idea who they were, except for one one guy who was/is on All My Children. I only knew that because my mom watched it. Lol.

**Melis** · 08-11-2009, 03:51 PM

Haha! Good thing we had moms to tell us.
