  1. I found much of the show was shallow, pretentious, disrespectful and/or long winded. What the hell is up with these people? But I'd rather focus on the good. Loved all of the following. Joni Mitchell Tracy Chapman/Luke Combs Fast Car Miley Cyrus won twice. She is awesome. She ought to cover What Was I Made For at the Oscars. Billy Joel Celine Dion
  2. Operawire.com reported LA Opera scrapped their plan to premier The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay due to financial challenges. The ambitious production became too expensive. I'm sad to hear this. Anyone that has read the Micheal Chabon novel might not be surprised. Quite an epic, complicated story.
  3. Russell Tovey was a pleasant surprise for me. First time I recall him doing an American accent. He's awesome.
  4. I liked him too and was disappointed when was taken off. NBC News shut down Ronan Farrow for investigating Harvey Weinstein, so there is that history. Not the best.

    Name This Tune

    Was on the tip of my tongue. Finally got it!!
  6. Crabcakes tonight. 1st try. Not firm enough. 😥
  7. He posted once on the other Forum not long ago.
  8. I remember being being bathed in the kitchen sink. I was small enough to fit the length of the sink so I was likely very young.

    Name This Tune

    Can someone please share what is the name of this music and where it's from. It's very familiar. Have you ever visited the Faye Sarkowsky Sculpture Garden? Open every... WWW.FACEBOOK.COM Have you ever visited the Faye Sarkowsky Sculpture Garden...
  10. Financially yes. My job kept rolling along. Socially, not, e.g. some social events I used to attend never re-started. Casual gatherings like going to the cinema don't seem to happen like they used to either.
  11. My neighbor Carmine tells me that two southern Senators are know to patronize a certain men's club in NYC that he visits during business trips to the Big Apple. I shouldn't name names other than how other patrons refer to them as Aunt Pittipat and Evil Kinevil.
  12. Fresh baked cookies! Friendly staff. Leave a nice tip. They all work hard and share it altogether.
  13. Great actor. Did not care for that film.
  14. My experience was same as you. I would repeat. Nice guy. For such a hot guy, and his relatively lower rate, I did not expect any extras. One could ask when booking him, but I doubt if he allows touching or works nude.
  15. My dad did not reach 70. At the end he regretted not having more fun in life. Not sure what kind of "fun" he meant. At least Dad left Mom a comfortable life. It's a gamble though, having enough money until the end. So maybe there is not a perfect answer to your question, how much $$ to spend on "fun". For me, I spend nothing on casinos or ocean cruises. I'm happier supporting a nice provider with my business. I do like the above idea that someone drove Uber to pay for his "fun".
  16. I'm in the minority. I will watch movies like My Policeman and Benediction again but Saltburn, no. Big disappointment. That said Jacob Elordi will host SNL tonight.
  17. With the widespread wintry weather I'm curious what temperature everyone sets their furnace thermostat. I have a gas furnace. With rates going up in recent years I have dialed down the temperature and made sure to dress appropriately. This winter I've set my thermostat at 67 when at home, 61 overnight, and 56 when out of the house. My housemate is fine with that. I live on the West Coast. It's fair to say my house is not nearly as well insulated as homes in the Midwest so keeping the air toasty warm would be quite costly.
  18. May I ask what is the other Site you mentioned having a similar thread? I dropped Apple in December and dropped Netflix awhile back. I still have Prime and Hulu. I've also tried free streaming on Kanopy, Hoopladigital, and TubiTv. I may return to Netflix.
  19. I read an article linked on Yahoo Finance today that Citi was planning to cut thousands of jobs. The article reported Citi had a loss. My initial reaction was how could that be possible with the high interest they charge on credit cards. Thus this thread caught my interest. The average credit card debt reported in the article did not seem too astounding compared to all of the credit card debt horror stories one hears about. So, I wonder if the median debt metric is quite a bit higher than the average. That said, I pay off my credit card balances every week. My car I bought used at Enterprise, with cash. I basically keep no debt.
  20. The gossip rags claim Timothee Chalamet was considered for the lead in Saltburn. If so, I believe he dodged a bullet. I thought it was awful. Side note: there would not have been any peen if T.C. had been cast.
  21. Some real world data, be it limited, was a news piece this week about businesses closing in LA including several along Melrose. One factor is high rents for leased commercial space. Does this point to a recession coming? Even though employees are finding new jobs, how will rising commercial vacancies affect local economies?
  22. Sharing thousands of texts is something lovers or very close friends do. That you traveled far to be with him also sounds like you loved him. So if this describes what he meant to you, then it makes sense you might be grieving over the loss of your connection with him. IMO it's OK to fall in love with a provider as long as you're being honest with yourself what is going on. That he believed you owed him money sounds like a huge misunderstanding between you two or else his circumstances changed. From the little you described about legal issues, suggests he might not be good at making choices. That he blocked you could mean he doesn't know how to say good bye. But it does sound like he has.
  23. I also hated the film. Thought it was predictable and shallow. Love the cast but that's about it.
  24. Kudos for asking about selecting the right advisor. Some folks claim you can't outperform high quality no-load index funds over the long term. I hired a financial planner after college. She turned out to be lesbian. I am very satisfied. She follows the rules, doesn't let emotions change the strategy, doesn't believe in timing the market and does not get involved in crypto. So yeah do some research and don't hire anyone that seems driven by emotion.
