I tried to find it on YouTube but couldn't. This was many years ago; I have not watched SNL in a long time. This was years after JFK was assassinated. Several people were asked where they were when they heard that JFK had been killed. None knew he was dead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_King I've never read any of his books. I have seen several of the movies and mini-series. I liked "Pet Cemetery" and "The Langoliers". Right now Hulu has a mini-series "Castle Rock". It started out good but now has slowed down. I'm several episodes behind.

Since I was last outside back in April the weather / heat had no affect on me. I have central air and heat. This is a transition period. Highs in the 80s/90s and lows in the 50s. I keep the thermostat set at 78. It the morning it will say the inside temp is low 70s. I pull the blanket over me in the wee hours of the morning. Late evening though the a/c comes on. We'll get temps like this into October. My a/c is electric and the heater is gas. The gas is alot more expensive than the electricity so I try not to turn on the heater as long as possible.

On CBS this morning they were interviewing the actor who plays "Young Sheldon". He is a vegetarian and his grandmother is a vegan. When I was a boy my doctor was a Seventh Day Adventist. They are big on vegetarianism. He wanted me to try it. So my mother bought some soy substitutes. It was horrible!

This morning I'm having yogurt and for my caffeine fix a diet Pepsi. And I'm cooking in the microwave oven turkey bacon. And because today is a "sh*t" day I'm having some sugar free chocolate candy. I took out a package of hamburger to defrost.

I don't remember now.

When I was seeing the dietitian she recommended that I not eat yellow cheese but rather white. So I got the jalapeno to add flavor. My last grocery store order I ordered @30 lbs of meat - roast, steak, hamburger; they are all in the freezer and I hadn't taken one out to defrost. I do like the Jimmy Dean breakfasts and I placed an order for several last time but they didn't arrive but I wasn't charged. The meatballs came in a bag. The soup is just handy.

I can't have oatmeal now because of my diabetes. When I was a boy I often had oatmeal with butter not sugar. I wasn't a diabetic then but my mother was and she carefully watched my diet. And if I ate something she disapproved of ... .

I like hot food (but not hot drinks). I do microwave sometimes because it has a timer. I'm afraid to cook on the stove in case I fall and won't be able to turn it off.

I take sides in history and they are not usually the popular side. Like in Mexico I favored the Emperors Agustin and Maximilian. And later President Porfirio Diaz. I despise Juarez the regicide. I like Hernando Cortes. Imo his exploits rivaled those of Alexander! I'm very fond of Czar Nicholas II.

Not just for dating. I remember my last birthday when my father was alive. I invited my father and step-mother. She always came along. Of course I paid. At the restaurant at the table my step-mother sat herself across from my father and he was at my side. I wanted to be opposite him. I insisted we move. She was not happy but I said as I'm paying for I wanted it my way. I wanted to be able to see and talk to my father. There was no gift. There never was while he was married to her.

I love to study the culture and history and languages of other people and cultures and countries. I was a history major in school - Latin America, Asia, Russia, Native American & etc.. Foreign languages I took Spanish, French, Russian, German, Latin, Italian, Portuguese, Swahili, Punjabi.

Everything I ate today was cold. This morning I had some beef meatballs and jalapeno cheese Later I had a snack of jalapeno cheese and cherry tomatoes. And for dinner a can of soup - Campbell's Homestyle - Mexican Style Chicken Tortilla I had two diet Pepsis and a bottle of tap water flavored with sugar-free Hawaiian Punch

Thank-you for the kind words.

I think those pictograms might be considered sexist as the female one is often shown wearing a skirt.

Knowing is one thing but seeing is another. A female would be a turn off. Same with seeing an escort / model with a tattoo of a female.

Apologies.

"Our president has to have specially dumbed-down briefing books filled with pictures." I was referring to Trump having special briefing books. I did not know that. Thanks!

I know you're joking. But I'm glad you admit that Trump is our President. Many refuse to accept that fact.

Do you sit side-by-side or opposite each other? I prefer the later. Makes conversation easier.

I liked the McNuggets with the honey mustard dipping sauce.

Of course! Who would have a Mexican pizza but Taco Bell. Silly me! I don't really cook. So this was probably last century I'd buy a box of tacos and burritos from Taco Bell and have food for a week. I'd go to McDonalds with their 35 cent cheeseburgers also!

Which fast food place - Burger King or Wendy's? What is on it? As a diabetic I'm supposed to avoid breads like pizza crusts.
