  1. Sometimes the power of persuasion comes in handy. Or a dexterous tongue.
  2. With those babies y'all won't even need the raft to keep yourselves afloat.
  3. I think I figured out who the murderer is and why some of the things happen the way they do. Of course, I will not share what might turn out to be rather idiotic thoughts. In one of the "extras" that HBO provides you to watch they do state it is someone you would not think would be the murderer. I suppose it will be sort of like the Broadchurch ending of the first series where it truly was a surprise.
  4. It's good to see he and I have the same philosophy . . .
  5. That spare tire is having a great time . . .
  6. OK then I will give it two ? ?
  7. easygoingpal put a gun to my head . . . not
  8. Springtime celebration.
  9. Could he be for real? If yes, then 2 "WOWS".
  10. Netflix will be releasing its new limited series ( portraying Halston's. The series will premiere on May 14th. It is produced and co-wrote by Ryan Murphy (Hollywood, Glee, The Prom, The Politician, etc.). Ewan McGregor plays Halston during the 70s/80s when the series takes place, along with Krysta Rodriguez portraying his good friend Liza Minnelli. In case this series becomes melded into the ongoing controversy regarding whether straight actors should play "gay parts" McGregor has also starred as a gay character in the movie I Love You Phillip Morris. I really like that movie. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/halston-trailer-ewan-mcgregor-ryan-150748058.html
  11. In the general sense gone and never to return. Other than being able to have a nice conversation with the person checking me out I am glad that it is gone. I don't want to lie and will qualify that general statement. If an item is such that I really need to touch and/or see it (like some fruits and vegetables, cuts of meats/poultry, and occasionally loaves of bread) I might stop in a shop. Otherwise for me delivery is the name of the game.
  12. It has already happened due to slight unforeseen medical problems. There are a couple of things I would like to say about it. Rule 1 is always make your bed as soon as you get out of it otherwise you will crawl right back in and spend the rest of the day lounging (unless of course you have someone you desire in there with you and you are going to be performing acts that make staying in bed worth it.). Next, well before you are going to be receiving Medicare, research it and if possible talk to someone who knows the bare bones about it. If you are going to be getting a pension, generally there is someone who is associated with the pension that will help you. I would imagine that human relations departments at companies have a similar set-up. They probably can't give legal advice but can talk about how it is set up. Remember that Medicare is not free. You will be paying for the fund itself and then you will (if you are smart) sign up for a supplemental health insurance policy. The companies that you will be able to choose from for that policy will have a dizzying array of choices regarding out-of-pocket expenses and deductibles. I found that it was a great help to find someone you trust (or many individuals) and see what company they chose and why. Finally you will have to choose a company who will supply your drugs, if you are taking them. Each company available often have different amounts for every drug. Moreover for all this stuff it can change year to year so it becomes like one bad marriage after another. One can see why the single payer system has become more and more acceptable in general, among the young and old. Finally, work all this into the budget (realistic) you sit down and write for yourself to make sure you really can afford to retire. Also, I have found that you have to keep your mind and body tuned as much as you can or you will go crazy. Keep in touch with friends and family, work out when possible, and plan on volunteering for an organization(s) that you think can use your help. It help others a lot and makes you feel really good about yourself. Any way sorry for blathering but those were some short notes about things I found on my way to and just after I retired.
  13. Babe, just to let you know I needed no incentive to eat it.
  14. Oh, I just thought he was making a big ol' pot of Italian sauce.
  15. You do not need to apologize, particularly to me.
  16. It would be nice to get attention from this lot, particularly all at once.
  17. It is as if he was born for this thread.
  18. Sometimes (very rarely) I just have to say "NO".
  19. Besides the obvious those be some thighs.
  20. I can tell you what not to keep doing if you don't want to get asked that question.
  21. Doesn't look like you are having too many problems. Go for it.
  22. So many threads there you could sew something.
  23. Be selfish and keep those for yourself.
  24. He does list himself as "versatile" so hopefully he is actually that. He lists himself as doing pretty much everything else. Worth at least getting in touch if you can. I have not been with him but would definitely catch up if he came my way.
