I'll forgive you, since you probably never saw the video. :)

I have the same problem, because I *love* to look things up. I remember one I found out recently, that I need to figure out how to put into a puzzle. :)

She does resemble Tina.
#6: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 2, 2021
I think she looks quite a bit like Tina :) And ditto, though I'm probably closer to your mom's age (I'll be 46 this month).
#7: Koreen (mom24plus) on Feb 2, 2021
I'm always looking things up. Back before the Internet, I kept a dictionary by my bed so I could look up words I came across while reading. Now I frequently look things up even if it's just passing thoughts.
#8: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Feb 2, 2021
Thanks for the validation, Jota. ^-^

Kristen, you're actually in the middle. I'm 30 and my mom is 65.

Hi, Koreen. It's definitely good to like looking things up. I never developed a knack for it because I guess if I didn't already know, I was willing to keep on not knowing unless it piqued my interest enough.
#9: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 2, 2021
Koreen, ditto! As a child, we had a huge dictionary on a podium, right in the foyer. Now, I keep my phone next to whichever book I'm reading, so I can look up pronunciations, definitions, images, or locations. :)

AG, this year I turn 46 and my mom turns 75. She was born in '46, and I was born in '75. If not for the Covid, I had wanted to do a mother-daughter cruise, or something. ^_^
#10: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Feb 2, 2021
That's cool. Maybe a belated cruise as soon as it's acceptably safe.
#11: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Feb 2, 2021
I rarely attempt portraits. I think you did a great job with Tina.
#12: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Feb 2, 2021
Thank you. ^-^
#13: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Feb 2, 2021
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.
#14: Gator (gator) on Feb 2, 2021
I think portraits are hard to do. This is done really well.
#15: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Feb 2, 2021
Yay! Thanks, gator.

I'm glad you like it. ^-^
I don't think there's anything strange about your opinion of music. It's perhaps a less common viewpoint, but I doubt you're alone.
#18: Kathy Roth (clyde) on Feb 3, 2021
Great puzzle.
#19: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Feb 3, 2021
Thank you.
#20: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Feb 3, 2021
Totally beautiful. Very tough.
#21: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Feb 4, 2021
^-^ Always a pleasure to hear it.
#22: derby (Derby) on Feb 4, 2021
Very enjoyable puzzle. Thanks
#23: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Feb 5, 2021
Thank *you*.

There's a certain irony in here - You only now learned that it was sung by a victim of serial terrible physical abuse, when all along you thought it was sung by a serial child sexual predator.
