:) :) "A Christmas Carol" is one of my favorite stories. Maybe it's a fable actually. :) Nothing wrong with being rich just don't be greedy is the message I think. :)

Tiny Tim was a celebrity for some reason. Forty million people watched him get married to Miss Vicky on the Tonight Show when Johnny Carson was host. That marriage lasted 3 years but ended due to his gambling on horses and his declaration that he wanted nothing to do with his daughter Tulip "because she was a girl" according to Victoria Lombardi (Miss Vicky). He was in his late 30's when they married - she was 17. He married twice more - the second one shorter than the first and the third a year before he died in late 1996.

 

I never understood the fascination with this man for any reason other than the "freak" reason (for lack of a better term). He had a hard, disturbing life and died on stage while singing "Tiptoe Through the Tulips".
