I've seen in print other comparisons to Ripley, and I guess if that is the best that can be ascertained, I can go with it. Him licking up Felix's bath water and jizz was a bit much for me, though.

I wish that applied to me. I can dance; don't know if I can act, but I have a vibrato in my singing voice that I hate.

I saw him a few years ago in "How to Succeed..." My Facebook post was, "Who knew Harry Potter could sing and dance?" He was a delight. What were they auctioning?

If you are privy to it, please tell me what Olly's motivation was. I either missed it in the dialogue or it just went over my head.

Just found a SAGAFTRA Foundation vid on YouTube that has eight of the actors on a talk presentation. Morgan Spector is wearing a tight, black mock turtleneck, and may I be permitted an ungentlemanly, ***DAY-YUM!!!*** man is built like a brick shithouse...who knew!?!?!?! See for yourself...

Well...according to Wikipedia: Green eyes probably result from the interaction of multiple variants within the OCA2 and other genes. They were present in south Siberia during the Bronze Age.[45] Green eyes are most common in Northern, Western and Central Europe.[46][47] Around 8–10% of men and 18–21% of women in Iceland and 6% of men and 17% of women in the Netherlands, have green eyes.[48] Among European Americans, green eyes are most common among those of recent Celtic and Germanic ancestry with about 16%.[48] The green color is caused by the combination of: 1) an amber or light brown pigmentation in the stroma of the iris (which has a low or moderate concentration of melanin) with: 2) a blue shade created by the Rayleigh scattering of reflected light.[26] Green eyes contain the yellowish pigment lipochrome.[49] Actually, according to the same article, the blue-eyed mutation came to Europe about 50,000 years ago, rather than 6,000 to 10,000.

In case you hadn't heard, about 7,000 to 10,000 years ago, somewhere in northern Europe, an ancestor had a genetic anomaly that prevented his (or her) eyes from turning brown. Fast forward quite a few centuries and we find that all of us blues are descended from a common ancestor. So, hello to all my cousins near and far. Your turn to do the family holidays this year, right? 😛

I have to say I was delighted at the end "Saltburn" when Irish studpuppy Barry Keoghan dropped trou and gave an occasional full-frontal showing of all his glory at the end of the film. Although the film left me with more questions than answers, Barry's dance through the manor house was (almost) worth the price of admission. It's time for more male full-frontal without prosthetics (looking at you, Taylor Zakhar Perez) in Hollywood films. Who's with me???

And it has the yummy Nicholas Hoult!

I watch it. I agree it isn't as good as Downton, but it's a bit of a fun watch, even without Maggie Smith. I've been reading up on the gilded age lately and it certainly would have been a fabulous time to have been filthy rich!

If you live in an area that has hard water, a water softener will help you use less detergent. I use two tablespoons of sodium tripolyphosphate which softens water enough that in a full HE load, I use four instead of line five in measurements and there are plenty of suds. Washing soda does the same thing, but you have to use more of it than the stp. If your machine has a second rinse feature, I would use it as a rule. Just keep in mind that if you use a rinse cycle fabric softener be sure that it is dispensed in the last rinse cycle, or it will go down the drain.

One of my teen crushes when it was in daytime syndication. 😍

As long as I have a face, he has place to sit.

OMG...When I lived in NYC metro I used to say something similar, especially when slowed by a group of tourists walking six abreast down a street near Times Square. "Thanks for your money, now go the fuck home." 😝

As a type 2 diabetic, I have issues with prescribing these drugs solely for weight loss. I've been on full dose Ozempic for about four months now. I got no appetite suppression benefit for the first few weeks I was on the drug because of high triglycerides (because of uncontrolled glucose). Pancreatitis can result on full dose (2mg) with high triglycerides. Once under control, I was prescribed full dose Ozempic and about a week or so after starting at full dose, my appetite did a Titanic. When I would eat out, I was so used to ordering as I had for years that I would end up ordering too much. Don't get me wrong, I was hungry when I sat down to eat, but after a few bites, it was all over. I lost about nine or ten pounds. Then, partially as a result of prescribing to non-diabetics for weight loss, pharmacies started experiencing chronic shortages. A month and a half ago, none of the pharmacies in my network could get ANY Ozempic. I was out for ten days. When I got back on the Ozempic, my body had apparently developed a tolerance for the drug, and the appetite suppression effect was over. My pharmacist said, "your body just got used to it." I understand the battle of the bulge. I have always had mine. Ozempic was a miracle. The miracle, for me however, didn't last and is unlikely to happen again. Fortunately, the drug still helps me keep my numbers in check. My last a1c at below 7.5 was the best number I have had since I was diagnosed. Folks...please...I know these drugs really cut into your hunger, but keep in mind that they are drugs for controlling diabetes first and foremost, and because they are over prescribed and off-label there ARE shortages. Give some thought to other people who have a chronic, potentially body destroying condition before you commit to one of these drugs and you aren't diabetic. We'd appreciate it.
