Russell Tovey was a pleasant surprise for me. First time I recall him doing an American accent. He's awesome.

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.

Was on the tip of my tongue. Finally got it!!

Crabcakes tonight. 1st try. Not firm enough. 😥

He posted once on the other Forum not long ago.

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.

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...

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.

Fresh baked cookies! Friendly staff. Leave a nice tip. They all work hard and share it altogether.

Great actor. Did not care for that film.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

I also hated the film. Thought it was predictable and shallow. Love the cast but that's about it.

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.

In those articles, they quote Jamie Dimon predicting economic "headwinds" coming and more recently that economic "storms" are approaching, which sounds worse, right? One thing for sure, we might all agree with Dimon when he warns “...you can’t talk about the economy without talking about stuff in the future — and this is serious stuff,” No wonder he leads the biggest of the big banks. I recall the last recession followed a financial implosion that was caused by misbehavior of large institutions after shadow investments on Wall Street were deregulated. In more recent times, bank failures were in the news. Were those an anomaly? Perhaps so, because GDP has been rising since those failures. That said, I believe a recession will come. They always do, right? Frankly, I don't believe the big banks or Jamie Dimon know what stuff will ultimately be the cause. Hopefully he will just stay out of the way and not add to the "stuff" our economy encounters.

Maybe this kind of behavior has always existed. But now the internet spreads our viral news everywhere, such as this thread. That we are now a heavily armed society seems to be a factor as well, how violent behavior is more apt to involve gunplay.

OK, I'll go. The most flamboyant homophobe on campus lived in my house. I would have enjoyed those college years more if he had kept his homophobic agenda to himself. I was not out. I had nice friends in the house and grew close to a particular housemate. There were some strong feelings and we shared some playfulness and groping in the dark. But the stigma of homophobia impacted our relationship. Since nothing was ever seriously spoken about the affection we felt, the relationship wasn't easy for me to understand. At the end I kept my distance and he flippantly asked if we were getting a divorce. After college he wanted to try again. By then he had dated several women. At that point I didn't want to play. Both of these guys ultimately married women. The flamboyant homophobe convinced some woman to marry him against her better judgment. He is gay as a picnic basket, as some are apt to say. The homophobe and wife have no children. He finally came out. They are basically roommates now. My close friend married twice and has children. I would guess he is bisexual but closer to the "straight" end of the spectrum. The closet prevents having honest conversations to clarify those things, right? Both of these fellows have been in touch with me in recent years when our house was planning a reunion. I decided not to go for various reasons. I will always think of the flamboyant homophobe as somewhat of a jerk. He now claims he was always an ally before springing out from his closet. So he is still in denial about that piece. I admit I could have been a much better friend than I was to this special guy I knew during college. Being closeted was no fun. I wish I had been better equipped to deal with that situation and will always be sorry for hurting him.
