  1. Meghan and Joy seem to be getting along better lately, but I wanted Joy (or somebody else) to ask Meghan if she'd been watching Disney programming with her daughter this morning and it inspired her to do her hair in a salute to Minnie Mouse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVRFunaaXS8:20
  2. The computer needs a geography lesson. ??
  3. I wonder when EVIL is coming back. I haven't read anything about it. BOB HEARTS ABISHOLA pulled of a near-miracle this week. Neither of Bob's siblings was annoying. I like the leads, but the writing continues to be inconsistent and the supporting characters are often annoying, and I keep hoping the show will improve. This week's episode was one of the more enjoyable ones.
  4. Okay... I know closed captioning isn't always perfect, but in last night's episode of FBI some of the action took place in Staten Island. Every time somebody mentioned it, the captions read Stanton Island. REALLY?!?!? The show is filmed and set in NYC and you can't even get the name of one of the boroughs correct?
  5. Was this neighbor an ordained minister or clergyperson, or did he/she just do that thing on the internet where you get certified to perform weddings?
  6. Mandy Patinkin was #1 and also the last name on my list of actors I can't stand because he's that annoying. I won't even watch the LAW & ORDER episode he's in. I was barely able to watch the KATE & ALLIE episode his wife was in, because looking at her made me think of him. Mrs. Kevin Kline shopped once or twice at the children's clothing boutique in Queens that my friend used to work at when the Klines' kiddies were young. She was supposedly very nice. I think you're aware of my feelings about Amanda Plummer. My mother was not thrilled with Meryl Streep, saying she always aware she was watching a Meryl Streep 'performance'. I'm pretty sure the last movie of hers that I saw was Death Becomes Her. That was from 1992. Has she done much since then?
  7. The same things you've done every day since covid started.
  8. Gregory Giangrande has over 25 years of experience as a chief human resources executive and is dedicated to helping New Yorkers get back to work. E-mail your questions to [email protected]. Follow Greg on Twitter: @greggiangrande and at GoToGreg.com. I had a disagreement with a work colleague during a Zoom meeting. He then said — in front of other team members — “Why can’t COVID find the right people?” I was stunned and so was the team. Do you think I should confront the person, report it to HR, or just let it go? Every multiple-choice question has at least one answer that is obviously wrong and can be eliminated immediately. Guess which one that is here? For those of you playing at home, correct — ignoring it is not an option. Let’s replace “COVID” with something else, like “cancer,” “AIDS,” “heart attack” or even “death,” and see how it feels. You have to say something, and there would have to be extraordinary circumstances for me to not fire that individual — like if they just lost a loved one to COVID, are grieving and had a momentary horrible lapse. But that’s about the only excuse I can think of. Get a gun... My employer filed for Chapter 11 last spring and the company closed shortly thereafter. Its assets were sold to another business, which is now in the process of reviving the original company. Fewer than 10 percent of the employees have remained on board with the new owners. The rest were “downsized.” On LinkedIn, the remaining employees often gloat about the “rebirth” of the company, which I find extremely insensitive since so many people lost their livelihoods. Am I justified in feeling this way, or should I congratulate them on LinkedIn? There are too many people glued to social platforms who are flaming and trolling and rewiring the synapses in their brain and basically becoming digital attack zombies. LinkedIn is not that place and not for those people. You have the right to feel what you feel, but is it possible that their business and job revival under new ownership is justifiable cause for celebration, and they are not actually gloating? If they are being insensitive, you can simply not congratulate them. No harm in that. Or, congratulate them and wish the many colleagues who lost their jobs well, and express hope that the LinkedIn community provides assistance in their job searches. Get a gun...
  9. Tom Brady. His father never pitched for the Mets.
  10. Man shot, killed after ‘prank’ robbery for video Police in Tennessee are investigating after a man was shot and killed Friday night during a robbery “prank” for a YouTube video. Nashville police responded to the parking lot of an Urban Air indoor trampoline park at 9:25 p.m., where David Starnes Jr., 23, admitted to shooting 20-year-old Timothy Wilks, according to a news release from the police. Witnesses told detectives that Wilks and a friend were participating in a “prank” robbery as part of a YouTube video when they approached a group of people, including Starnes, with butcher knives. Starnes said he was unaware of the prank and shot Wilks to defend himself and the people he was with. No one has been charged in Wilks’ death. The investigation is ongoing. Baby crushed to death by man jumping from building in Russia A five-month-old baby in Russia was crushed to death when a man jumped from a building in an apparent suicide attempt — and landed on the infant’s stroller, according to a report Friday. The freak accident unfolded Thursday when the man plunged from the 17th floor of a building in Voronezh as the mother pushed her baby below, according to video of the incident posted by the Scottish Sun. Disturbing surveillance camera footage shows the jumper landing partially on the stroller, hitting the baby and knocking him out onto the street. The mom, who has not been identified, then frantically checked on her child as passersby called for help — while the jumper appeared lifeless on the pavement, according to the outlet. Paramedics rushed to revive the infant but he reportedly died on the way to the hospital. “The 5-month-old baby, who was inside the pram, died in the ambulance,” a police source said, according to the outlet. The cop added that “the man who fell upon the [stroller] died,” too.
  11. Perhaps somebody should ask this woman that question... A Louisiana woman went viral last week for using Gorilla Glue in place of actual hairspray — before finally checking into the hospital on Saturday to get the hardened adhesive removed, according to posts on her Instagram. The woman, identified in news reports as Tessica Brown, posted on Feb. 4 that her hair had been stuck in place for a month after she ran out of her usual hair product and opted to use the extra-strong superglue instead. “Look: My hair, it don’t move. You hear what I’m telling you? It don’t move,” she said in the original video. “I’ve washed my hair 15 times and it don’t move.” On Saturday, Brown posted two photos — one of herself sprawled out on a hospital bed and another of the emergency room entrance to St. Bernard Parish Hospital, in Chalmette, Louisiana. Her decision to seek medical treatment came after three days of crowd-sourcing potential solutions — including from the maker of Gorilla Glue. The company told TMZ that Brown could use rubbing alcohol on her head — but warned that if it had actually be in place for a month, it was “likely fractured at the root.”
  12. Tampa streets packed with maskless revelers ahead of Stupor Bowl
  13. I was actually accepted to the Wharton School of Business at UPenn but, you know, who would want to move to Pennsylvania? ????
  14. Why do you think she guest-starred on LAW & ORDER? If Carrie Lowell hadn't left, maybe Richard Gere would have, as well.
  15. It was a rhetorical question.
  16. Simple solution. Break in after the store closes. Shouldn't somebody have asked What's "Welcome Back, Kotter" by now?
  17. I attended Syracuse U for three years, then took courses at Queens College and St John's and transferred the credits back to SU, graduating from there over a year after I last set foot on their campus. Which school am I an alumnus of?
  18. I saw Kramer vs. Kramer. They were on opposite sides of a divorce proceeding. I try. ????
