  1. I'll wait as long as it takes to understand when there is no longer risk.
  2. if only ESPN could squeeze this sport into their lineup. Love the 3 guys in suits. I agree with whatever they are saying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8dgGj0enuk:100
  3. Found almost nothing written about the Casablanca reference from the end of S3. Perhaps a lot of internet bloggers have either not seen that movie or somehow don't carry an impression of that iconic scene. Time marches on. From the on-line critics, it almost seems there is an agenda to nitpick the show by reviewers that find the story arcs not resonating with them. Too bad. I love everything about it. For example the Sophie Lennon character. Love Jane Lynch. One reviewer questioned how a gay character story arc makes sense back in that era. Such narrow, shallow thinking! as if gays just showed up lately in these woke times we're in. I'm liking Joel more and more. He sure seemed to like Shy. ? And also Mei.
  4. Johnny Mathis came to mind. Esquire magazine thought the character was potentially a composite, mentioning Harry Belafonte and Mathis.
  5. Finished S3. Love the idea of Shy Baldwin, and also the actor portraying Moms Mabley was perfect. Trying to sort out in my head why the homage to Casablanca. Fun stuff. What a creative show!
  6. Binged all the way through Ozark, S1, S2, and S3. Wendy is amazingly clever, but my money is on Marty.
  7. “People think I’m in the closet. People think I’m out of the closet. People think I’m straight. People think I’m gay. Whatever you want to believe is fine with me.” ~ Andre Aciman, Rain Magazine interview, 4-2-2020
  8. I have the standard California house with washer and dryer in an attached garage, so is workable for me.
  9. Sorry to hear you are losing the match. I agree with the prior comments. In my case, I ought to re- balance, bond funds vs stock funds. But I hesitate in such uncharted waters as this pandemic. My bond funds are doing well. Stock market sentiment is obviously volatile.
  10. Bet he's a good kisser. Would like to try. ?
  11. Tried watching Altered Carbon on Netflix, gave up and switched to Ozark S1. Like Laura Linney and Justin Bateman. Good show
  12. I've received conflicting information about masks from within my own primary care medical group, and also about whether I should get tested. It pays to do one's own due diligence and not assume what some authority tells is best for you. In places like Hong Kong, masks are a common choice to mitigate risk. They have a lot of experience using them to combat epidemics. A homemade mask sounds worthy of investigation.
  13. I can still view a samples of his work, but I remember enjoying Derek Harper very much when I was a wee lad.
  14. I've never wanted to board one of those giant floating germ boxes. My claustrophobia would probably make the voyage uncomfortable anyway. With some Googling I have a better idea how the industry runs, how the ships are registered in other countries to avoid our regulations, and where they get the money to pay for new ships. Some of the money is private investment from global high rollers, now apt to lose their shorts on cruise ship investments as the industry tanks. Very Unfair!! Perhaps we will need to take ownership of the ship to cover the death and financial damages incurred by unloading the passengers here. Doubt if the US will send the ship back to the country it is registered.
  15. Just realized those 2 Websites have a Montenegro domain. Now I wish I hadn't clicked through. Maybe a VPN would have been useful, as the OP suggested.
  16. I found bread and milk today at the store. No peanut butter. I've set up a disinfecting station in the garage for incoming from the store. Once disinfected everything goes in a transfer tote inside the door. Then all clothes off, into the washing machine, and I scamper into the shower to clean off any potential incoming virus.
  17. LA Chamber Orchestra streaming Stravinsky and Prokofiev tonight and tomorrow night, March 28 and 29. https://www.laco.org/laco-at-home/ http://kelleyoconnor.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/1819-laco-jamie.jpg
  18. One member of that South Korean church, referred to as patient 31, failed to follow any of the protocol to prevent the spread, and so became a "super spreader". So, yes it does make sense to make sweeping restrictions that might affect your choice to visit a BBQ joint in Tejas with your aunt. Most people want to help stop the spread, but a few won't.
  19. Edited out. The sarcasm was a stretch for too many of you. Our news has blasted Trump for such a reference
  20. Mother denied me (sucking on) lollipops when all the neighbor boys spent their lazy summer days lounging in hammocks, sucking on hard, sugary sweet lollipop candies. I showed her!
  21. Endocrinal mechanism is mentioned. I've been pondering that, how doctors/ scientists know that hormone receptors can fail, leading to unexpected variation in development, or lack thereof. Thanks for sharing the articles. Interesting stuff.
