There is a 3 season series on Netflix, Afterlife. I have enjoyed the series very much but for me, it hits so close to home that I am not sure if it is good entertainment or just identifiable. Ricky Gervais is the writer and star and the story starts out dark and very gradually lightens but it is never cheery and it does tend to be a bit heavy handed as well as heavy hearted. The characters are quirky and not like any I have seen on other TV shows except perhaps for the hooker with a heart of gold but even her character has an interesting arc. The basic plot concerns Tony, Ricky Gervais, and his life after the death of his beloved wife. He lives with ihis dog. His coworkers at a weekly local free newspaper, where he is the features writer, are leading as drab and struggling an existence as he is. He has regular interactions with his postman and a prostitute who works the corner near his home in a quaint village. He fills his days with snide remarks and well directed barbs and vitriol and visiting his demented father at a nursing home, where he interacts with the nurse who is usually caring for him. Ultimately each day is a struggle for him to just get through. And it usually ends it with several glass of wine and viewing the videos his wife made for him during her terminal illness. On daily visits to the cemetery, he sits at his wife's graveside and befriends a similarly grief stricken older woman. This serves as a therapeutic outlet for the pain in his crushed soul and broken heart. Yeah not exactly the set up for a laugh a minute comedy, but there are laughs, not usually belly laughs but real life laughs throughout. And there are tears, usually unforced and generated from real care for the characters. I recommend it. If you have not already watched the first two seasons go back to the beginning and if you have seen seasons 1 and 2, be alerted that the 6 episode third and final season has just dropped on Netflix. The episodes are about 1 half hour in length so all three seasons are able to be viewed on a wintry weekend.

I always try to deliver and you always give a good tip and more.

I must admit I have only gone for the sweet messy foods....napoleons, eclairs, banana cream pie, of course whipped cream and ice cream to the balls, etc. Now I am thinking that perhaps I have been too narrow in my consideration. Chinese take out with a large order of ribs perhaps with duck sauce cleverly placed. Sushi with wasabi at the butthole. So Tyger, come to the east coast and we can do takeout.

Jimmy G definitely very sexy though I would hope his bedroom skills would be better than his passing skills.

It was Judy in the original but in the remake Judy is detached and pretty emotionally unavailable and Penny is young but has his flare for the less than 100$ right path. No romance between him and anyone except perhaps the other engineer. Would not have objected if he had a brief fling with the Dad but that is a totally different series. lol

I get restaurant food delivered about twice a week and the other day I was thinking what really is an appropriate way to tip those delivery people. I usually just through them between 5 and 10 dollars depending on the bills but I do not have any rhyme or reason why that is so. So does anyone here have any thoughts about appropriate amounts to tip restaurant delivery people?

And of course 99 Red Balloons

Very nicely packaged body but wonder how the package is packaged.

I am surprised that both Jacksonville and Detroit won considering the #q pick was on the line. In addition, Oakland could have just allowed the tie to happen. There was a minuscule risk that the field goal would be blocked and the Chargers return it for a score. So why did they even bother? If they had just sat on the ball, the NFL would have looked bad two years in a row when the last game became a farce. Remember the Eagles pulling their quarterback to allow Washing to skate into the playoffs last year. They should probably have all meaningful games starting at the same time in the final week. In addition, they could cut down on dumping if they made the last week a bit different in regard to draft position. That is, if a team wins in the last week, it counts as a loss for the purposes of draft position and if they lose, it counts as a win for draft positioning. It would force teams to win into their higher draft pick rather than lose into it. This year there may have not been much of a change but last year it would have given the Eagles a bit more incentive to try and win that last game.

Very interesting last week. Granted Green Bay did not use Aaron Rogers and so the Detroit win was not as shocking as it would have otherwise been. But Jacksonville beating Indianapolis knocking them out of the playoffs was totally unexpected. The Steelers beating the Ravens in OT to keep their chances alive and the 49ers Beating the Rams in Ot to prevent the Rams from Clinching the Division and allowing the 49ers to advance to the playoffs was a surprise. Arizona then did the humble thing and lost to Seattle handing the division title back to Rams. But the oddest game of all was the final game on Sunday night. The Chargers came from 15 points down to tie the Raiders in regulation. Then tied them again in overtime with a late field goal. It looked as though the Raiders were going to accept the tie and allow both teams to advance to the playoffs and eliminate the OT winning Steelers. But for reasons unclear, the Chargers called time out with 32 seconds left and the clock running. The Raider then ran another play, bringing them into close field goal range and then with time in the game expiring, the Raiders kicked a field goal propelling them and the Steelers into the playoffs and sending the Chargers home. Now the Raiders might have called time out themselves and their kicker was certainly capable of kicking a longer field goal, but their play to that point indicated that the did not want take a chance on losing and being eliminated. When the Chargers took time out, it became unclear if the Chargers felt the same way. Anyway, game winning field goal on the last play of the regular season to propel two teams into the playoffs. OI course, it would have been odder if the Raider kicker missed the field goal and still propelled his team into the Playoffs.

His ad sounds like a pro wrestler's introduction. But I have to give him credit for using the name Marshall in that the schtick really called for an Ivan, Igor or Peter or even a Nikoli.

Well this old goat will not be going though I have been there several times before. The risk benefit ration just does not sit well. I hope those that go have a great time.

I cannot envision Jean Smart portraying an ex-stripper even with the long blond wig that Streep used to look the part. In general though I think she could have done a good job with the role.

Eventually

IK just finished watching it but only saw one epilogue. I will go back and watch until the end of the credits. I found it more than a little disturbing and while I can see the relationship to the Covid epidemic, I think the analogies to global warming are just as stark. The animals shown in flashes are mostly endangered and people blindly ignoring all the warnings related to global warning to a T. Of course, people ignoring the vaccine also parallels the story, Meryl Streep does an interesting take on the President with more than a few parodies of Trump.

Well first of all, three people do not an orgy make. Second of all, it does sound like the starting of a bad joke. A Serbian a Moroccan and a multimillionaire yacht company CEO walk into a hotel room....

The most I have won was $150. I had a patient that won $19 million on a pick six. Also had a patient that won more than a million twice on Pick Six. I rarely play now but at one time I would eat lunch at this sandwich shop and buy tow spieling scratch offs in which the scratch off reveals letters and you match those letters to a crossword like grid. It took about ten minutes to complete the card and so with two I had usually finished my lunch. That was the game in which I won 150 but strangely enough I did not realize it, I thought I had only matched three words which was a $% dollar win, but it turns out I had matched 6 words when I went to cash the ticket. Guess I was not a very adept player.

My My wife was a redhead and green did look lovely on her, though she really did not emeralds,. Go figure. However, a light purple was the color that looked best on her. Mu guess is that purple would look great on you as well.

I was nervous about sending it to you as I thought it might make you envious and green is not a good color on you. Especially not in the winter when the tan is not 100%

I was texting out holiday greetings this morning to all the people on my Contact list that I wanted to wish well in this holiday season. As it turns out there were 14 escorts on the list and I have hired only 4 in the last year but I have known 5 for at least 10 years. As opposed to family, where there were only 4 texts, business colleagues where there were 5, friends where there were 9 and acquaintances who deserved special attention this year which was 5. So out of 37 texts which had a personal message and much more than "Happy Holidays" or some variation, 14 were to escorts or people I have met by hiring them. Is this ratio unusual? What about other clients, how many escorts are on you texting list? How many were naughty this year? Also note there were escorts I hired this year who did not get a text.

Biased audience I would think. After all they are going to see Music Man with Hugh Jackman. My wife was in a local production of Music Man. Have seen too many Shipoopis to go see the Jackman version. Besides, not likely to outdo this version https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=AwrEZ7YacsZh5FgAXgcPxQt.;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzEEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Nj?p=shipoopi&type=3014011000__alt__ddc_coflyer_co&hsimp=yhs-domaindev_ddc_extensions&hspart=domaindev&grd=1&ei=UTF-8&fr=yhs-domaindev-domaindev_ddc_extensions&turl=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOVP.f8s43y-b8IUsI8kepxGE4gHgFo%26pid%3DApi%26w%3D148%26h%3D78%26c%3D7&rurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D0_O1eOnhIKE&tit=Family+Guy+Songs+-+Shipoopi&pos=1&vid=0381a3d48b2ccdc20f1147e26f3588a1&sigr=fcMAT4W6TwJ.&sigt=pxRwNBsxxIq_&sigi=2caD1iNfbsyr#index=-99&label=&id=1&vid=0381a3d48b2ccdc20f1147e26f3588a1&action=view

I learned to ski in my 30s and was in good shape then and there was no way I would have been able to ski for 5 days in a row. Once I got better at it, I could have skied 5 days in a row but much more likely would have either skied two and skipped one or skied every other day. I stop skiing in my 40s and went back to it briefly in my 50s but the snow was colder, less forgiving and a lot less fun. So, I packed up the skis and joined the bar crowd at the lodge. Still fun. Snowmass and Aspen were my preferred Colorado locations but mostly I skied the ice of Vermont at Killington or Stowe. There is a small ski resort in Massachusetts near Great Barrington, Butternut. It is a very easy mountain and a great place to learn basics. Two days there will get you set for more challemging resorts.

Seems that this is a perfect holiday for this forum. Celebrated with a long usually unadorned pole with feats of strength and airing of grievances. Festivus for the rest of us. Happy Festivus to all.
