Avalon

Sorry! ;-))) I read too quickly. In 5th grade on my report card the teacher wrote "Avalon is a good student but does not check his work".

I wonder how many people it will attract in Winter?

I like this song. It is gender neutral.

Maybe with Captain Picard. How I wish! I am a Trekkie! I do not care for Star Wars at all.

This was 30 years ago in Los Angeles. I had a friend who always carried some change to give to some guy to watch the car so it wouldn't be vandalized while shopping.

They're aren't too bad where I live. Outside the grocery store I'd frequent once there was a young man stretched out, and rolled up in an electric blanket asleep on the sidewalk. The blanket was plugged into an outside store electric outlet. Another time outside the store as I entered there was a woman with a young child. The woman had a sign asking for money. Imo that was child exploitation. Inside I asked around how long she had been there. That was the first time they had seen her. I complained and threatened to call the Department of Social Services. I didn't. And the next time I was at the store she wasn't there. When I asked about her I was told that had been her only time there. There used to be a guy with a dog and sign along one road at a traffic light. He was in a difficult place to beg because he was on the opposite side away from the driver's side. But he's been gone for awhile. When I have been approached I tell them the address of the local welfare department and of the Catholic church.

Thanks for catching that! You're right!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scavenger_hunt That's one of the current storyline's on the Australian soap opera "Neighbours". Back in the 80s one Halloween I was at my grandmother's. There was a church a couple of blocks away and they were having a scavenger hunt for children. There was a knock at the door. The child showed me their list. I was able to provide two items - a light bulb and a half-dollar coin. I doubt in this current day and age they would let children go around the neighborhood like that at least without being accompanied by an adult. This child was alone but I saw other children at doors across the street.

I seem to remember the story that when someone confused him with Troy Donahue he replied that he was the gay one!

The boys having to swim their way out reminds me of that similar scene in the movie "The Poseidon Adventure".

Sounds familiar. I think I had that my Freshman year in high school and then the following year was biology. And that finished by high school science.

I hope it goes well. People should not be getting sick or dying simply because they had sex!

Thanks! The poor lads had a tough time.

I remember the movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Boggy_Creek

There was water but what did they do for food?

When I had mine done by Ancestry it said 82% Great Britain. My aunt's said 55%. What does that mean? Celtic, Anglo-Saxon etc.? GB is diverse! I had trace Iberian Peninsula. My aunt was 2%. Did someone fall off an Armada ship and swim ashore?

I enjoyed the telenovela "Aguila Roja". It had English subtitles. I watched it on Hulu but it did not carry the last couple of seasons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81guila_Roja http://static.cinemarx.ro/poze/persoane-mari/2010/05/David_Janer_1275152042.jpg

That's okay. Not a problem. Thanks!

Years ago I was in Texas in August. I had checked into the motel; the a/c was on. After dark I decided to go out for dinner. When I opened the door I was struck blind! I'm near-sighted and wear glasses. My glasses had immediately fogged up because of the humidity.

A pet peeve of mine is the over use of the word "hero". But that would be for another thread.

Not possible. I am housebound. I go weeks without seeing, talking to another person.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Gucci I heard that on a tv show. I was unaware of it being used to mean good. I only knew it as a brand name and as a nickname of the Belami model Hoyt Kogan.

A bad Czech!!! Play on words (check/cheque) ;-))))

I've heard it used on the British soap opera "Coronation Street". That got me thinking about it.
