  1. Sounds like a good class and well needed today!
  2. When I was a college student the Unitarian church was showing "The Great Dictator". My niece wanted to go. She is six years younger than I am. Knowing the Unitarians to be be of the liberal persuasion and not wanting to give offense I gave my niece the money to buy her own ticket before we went in.
  3. Good! Glad to read it. Thanks!
  4. That's why I started watching MasterChef Junior to see if Ramsay would behave around children. He has three daughters. I wonder what he is like at home?
  5. I remember once opening the door for a female co-worker saying "Ladies first" and she replied that she was no lady. A pet peeve of mine is seeing a m/f couple getting into a car and the man not opening the door for the woman. In the 1953 movie "Titanic" Barbara Stanwyk drops something on the deck and when her husband played by Clifton Webb does not pick it up she realizes that they are over. Imo women ought to demand manners from men. When I was a boy one time I was out with my mother and I rushed ahead into a store and so the swinging door flew back and struck her. I learned a lesson that day.
  6. I keep my bedroom door open 24/7. I like a lose fit with the bedding. I don't even like a fitted bottom sheet. I just have flat sheets and I don't tuck them nor the blanket in. One blanket has loops at the end and sometimes a toe gets caught during the night and wakes me up. But I have to get up anyway every couple of hours for a trip to the bathroom.
  7. With that much money you could hire someone for an exclusive relationship. Would an escort consider that?
  8. I prefer this Victoria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Victoria
  9. Thanks! We did that with my grandmother for awhile. We put the hospital bed in the living room.
  10. Thanks all! The problem with hiring an Uber or having someone drive me is that because of my knees I have a problem walking. Here in my apartment I clutch furniture and brace myself on the walls when I walk. There is a door-to-door non medical emergency transportation service that I have looked into. I would need them to provide a wheelchair to meet me at my front door. My apartment is long and narrow. Bedroom in the back, living room in the middle and the kitchen in the front. Going from the bedroom to the kitchen I have to stop and sit in the living room for a few minutes to gain strength.
  11. Monthly billing is a good idea I have not driven over 1K in many years. I usually fill the gas tank only 3 or 4 times per year.
  12. When my father was in the hospital and death was a few days off he spoke of looking forward to going home and driving his pick-up truck (Chevrolet late 50s).
  13. The annual insurance renewal is next month (June). I could still drive but I can not get to my car. I can not walk the 50 paces to where it's parked. It's not been started up for almost four weeks. Not since I fell in the parking lot and one of the rescue squad had to move it in order to help me up. I had gone out just to start it up for a few minutes. The registration is due in a couple of months. If I can't use it I'm thinking of having it registered as inoperable. It would need to have its smog inspection renewed if I were to get the regular renewal tags.
  14. He needs to buy alot of lottery tickets. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ What do people think would be an appropriate punishment for what he did?
  15. He has a flower shop where I live.
  16. On the recent episode of "Man With a Plan" the teenage son kept breaking lose the toilet seat. I don't get it. I can understand a teenage boy spending more time in the bathroom but not breaking lose the toilet seat.
  17. Belami model Tim Campbell has a Scorpion tattoo on his chest. If he were HIV+ he would not be allowed to film. Belami has strict testing. https://newtour.belamionline.com/models.aspx?ModelID=2644
  18. I'm not sure about that. I think vegetarian food would be more appropriate. They only serve vegetarian food at the langar (kitchen). Also Sikhs are forbidden to eat halal meat.
  19. That's too bad.
  20. I've only been to Las Vegas once for a weekend in the late 80s. I stayed at the Motel 8. I enjoyed the Liberace museum. There was a desk that belonged to Tsar Nicholas II. As a coincidence that Sunday night there was a made for tv movie about Liberace airing.
  21. I was reading in Datalounge that a Scorpion tattoo means that one is HIV+. Is that true?
  22. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Karim_(the_Munshi)
  23. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Day It is a federal Canadian public holiday celebrated on the last Monday preceding May 25, in honour of Queen Victoria's birthday. As such, it is the Monday between the 18th to the 24th inclusive, and thus is always the penultimate Monday of May.
  24. Answer "Stained" and the police officer would be too embarrassed to show them.
  25. I was watching an episode of the Burns & Allen show and Dick D'Arcy was a guest star. IRL he and Oliver Smith were same-sex partners. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0195432/ Dick D'Arcy https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0809484/?ref_=nmbio_trv_2 Oliver Smith
