I had difficulty with status of people working for me. They were not stripper, but as is the case with the strippers, I did not determine their hours, I did not set a schedule for them, they worked the same type of job at other places and even owned their own businesses doing the same work. Still the state came in and said they were employees not independent contractors, The state law was much more restrictive than the federal law but there was a bounce back effect so even though the employees met federal standards for independent contractor, since they were considered employees by the stat, they had to have the same status federally, It all comes down to who pays the taxes and the SS payments. Just another government money grab.

The only acting that moved me was the dragon. He showed real emotion in mourning the loss of his mother, Everyone else was stoic and pontificating and generally forgettable The best supporting actor goes to ghost who gave his few seconds of screen time pathos. His performance was understated and not wooden. Wish I could say the same of the human actors. What happened to this show after the diversion from the books was unforgivable. Mr. Martin should have suspended writing for the books and wrote for the show the last two seasons. i did like Brianne updating Wiki-thronia for Jamie. Would have preferred it if Dany had stabbed Jon and then been killed by a skulking Arya or Drogon crisping Jon after he killed Dany. In the end the only one who saw the potential disaster was Sansa and she did get to be Queen of the North. Bran, just an awful choice for king. The ending more or less showed him abdicating his responsibility to Tyrion, He seemed more interested in looking for Drogon, I guess that was just a reminder that he can warg and he has visions. Speaking of his visions, we saw none of them in season 8. So Arya turns into Christopher Columbus, at least as judged by her hairdo and wardrobe. Sansa becomes Mary Queen of Scots, with the red hair and the tall stature and Jon, travels off to be Eric the Red. And I guess Tyrion is Pippin the Short.

Gremlin and its equally bizarre looking contemporary the Pacer were notorious for their bad mechanics and general poor quality of ride and performance. As you are someone with a great ride and excellent performance, I would suggest you make another choice. But opposite attracts. I must admit though, that the Gremlin has a rather unique and fascinating rear end so you both have that in common.

Mr Conway was a great physical comic. He was always the highlight of the Carol Burnett show. One particular memory I have of him on that show was a bit which caused my father to laugh so hard that he peed his pants in the living room. My father was a tough audience, but this bit in which Conway played a dentist who kept inadvertently injection novacaine into various body parts had him laughing, bent over and eventually peeing. He was 85 and that is a nice run, but a man of his talents should have gotten much more recognition.

If you do not return them, the government will extract the overpayment from the account to which it was deposited. Before my wife died, we applied and eventually received Social Security Disability but by the time the application was processed, she had already passed. SSI deposited about 7 months of benefits, of which 5 were due and 2 occurred after she passed. It should be noted that you are not entitled to the last month's payment. In any case, by the time I contacted social security, they had withdrawn the fill seven months worth of payments, causing all sorts of checks to bounce. While I finally was able to have them repay the 5 months they owed, the penalties for the bounced checks were all my responsibilty.

The stars have been open about the show being planned as a six year run. So the renewal for three years is in keeping with that plan. I imagine it gives the creative team time to develop arcs for each of the main characters that stretch over a season and then a more detailed arc which is established for the run of the show.

I have tried to look up old friends on the internet, only to come upon an obituary. It is always startling to me. In my local newspaper, I look at the obituaries, as a primary care physician for 30 years in the same area, it is a way of learning the fate of people for whom I have cared. On occasion, I run into a family member of one whose obituary I have read and it allows me to offer condolences without the awkwardness of asking how they are doing and finding that they have passed. When my wife died, she worked in a city about 1 hour from our home and I placed an obit in that local paper and I did receive some condolences and one or two people attended the funeral as a result.

Glad you had a good time.

Que sera, sera

Spoiler from this episode: Yes Dany seems to have gone over the edge, shocking Tyrein and Jon by burning the place to the ground rather than accepting the surrender. She is her father's daughter it seems and now she will have to be killed, Little Margaret who reported that she has not eaten to Varys might do her in with some poison in the food. That would be a nice murder from the grave. So it seems only Sansa and Varys had enough insight to see that she was no better than the other tyrants. Not sure Jamie and Cersei are dead. The prophesy was that a younger brother would choke Cersei to death and that went unmet if they are crushed. The matter of whether or not she was pregnant also remains unresolved. So do not count them out yet. Tyrein has lost all insight it seems and Dany should execute him for releasing Jamie. Dany might also go after Sansa as she sees Sansa as a threat. That might be what incites her death. I agree, the battle scene was unnecessarily long and repetitive. We get it, buildings are burning and people are burning, getting crushed and getting stabbed. The point did not have to be made again and again considering the other unresolved issues. As the preview was very short, I am hoping that the last episodes is not just Dany and Jon and the remnants of the Red Keep. Arya riding off on a white horse probably plays into the mythology but the only connection I see is that Dany was given a white horse by Khal Draga as a wedding gift and so it may have harkened back to show Arya still has her principles intact while Dany has lost hers,

Best to hire for a three way for 2 hours. I would not pay an additional fee for either of the escorts above their hourly rate, but it would be discussed and settled before.

Are you sure that is not a river cruise ship in somewhere such as Prague?

Yesterday was the inaugural flight of an Air Singapore route from Neward to Singapore non-stop. The plane takes the polar route and it takes 19 hours, The first flight actually arrived about 2 hours early due to favorable winds. Any takers on this? I think Mr. Baldwin might be one candidate as he travels to the Orient frequently. By the way 68 seats Cost about 4000 dollars each way.

I do not think there is cheating going on like with the 50's game show scandals, but there are certain skills that are needed to play Jeopardy on TV which can only be honed on the air. Buzzer timing. Coolness of thought when in front of a live TV audience. The ability to select first as the champion, All major advantages and he has used them all.

He is a very smart player and rarely misses a question. However, there is something about him that does not sit well with me and I keep rooting for him to lose. In any case, with his winnings already, he will be back for all sorts of Jeopardy special tournaments. Ken Jennings I found equally unappealing and he keeps showing up in the tournaments. However, when he is in those tourneys he seems more beatable. I think both of these contestants have excellent timing with the buzzer and as a result, the longer they are on the show, the more skilled they become with the timing, adding to their advantage.

Would you tell him to push the pointy end in?

Arya could be his hand.

I think Arya will advance her list killing the Mountain after the Mountain kills the Hound. I do not think Arya will kill Cersei. I think Jamie will kill her to save Tyrion. I also think Danearys will be killed by Varys and John Snow will go back to the North, leaving Gendry Baratheon as the new occupant of the Iron Throne.

Toll booth. "oh I am so sorry hunky toll taker, I do not have any cash. Is there anything I can do to get you to raise that thing?"

The NYPost and opines in the same sentence. Who would have opined it?

I was also considering Santiago after hearing great things about it, though I do treat the Palm Springs weekend as an opportunity to get a bit sleazy and Canyon Club has been great in providing just the right amount of convenience, value and sleaziness.

Which is worse no room at the inn or no in at the room?

I recently started using Netflix and have binged these three shows. Special and Bonding are 15 minute episodes and there are only 8 episodes in each and After Life has 7 half hour shows. Special is about a gay twenty something with cerebral palsy. Pretty funny. Some hot guys shirtless and a main character who is relatable to anyone who has felt like an outsider in the gay community or in life in general. Definitely worth the watch though the acting is a bit stilted. Bonding is about an awkward young gay man who comes to New York and starts working as a dominatrix assistant to his high school friend and girl who took his virginity. This is a very sex positive show and puts a human face on sex workers and it is definitely funny and the characters are appealing. Also some hot shirtless men After Life is a Ricky Gervais show about a man whose wife dies and who decides that as he really doesn't want to live anymore, except he has to take care of his dog. Since he no longer cares about life, he has decided he can be a general jerk to those around him but ultimately, the innate goodness of his character allows him to slowly move from asshole to curmudgeon to something else. It is a show about coping with loss. There is a sex worker character who is also empathetically presented. I would recommend the first two wholeheartedly and the third also gets my recommendation though I think it may have resonated with me more than it may resonate with the average viewed.

I have been a fan of American Idol, but this year, the singers are really talented and it is difficult to watch any one of them leave. I do agree that Jeremiah has a chance to take it all.

Speaking of Game of Thrones, tonight's episodes was subdued, thoughtful and moving. This was one of the most cerebral and melancholy of all the episodes of GOT. I expect next week to be just about non stop action and battle, but this calm before the storm allowed closure to so many previous interactions and set the stage well for the next episode which undoubtedly will be the final episode for many of these characters.
