WHAT is his first name? I've read it as Travis and I've read it as Jason...wtf?

The 1st?

It's time for a Zoom party! If we can do it early enough, I could do it from the beach.

cow's milk? I've always thought it strange we eat baby cow food

jesus, people!

How many babies is a female human supposed to have any way?

A friend's granddaughter just got her first period. She just turned 9 years old! Is this normal these days? I was just about 12 and that was considered precocious at the time. Nine?? I feel so sorry for her!

Thugs don't keep regular schedules, do they?

A friend of mine...a guy who will argue to the death over virtually nothing, has opened a subject on Facebook that people are sort of taking black and white views over. It's starting to interest me so I thought I'd get your take.

When a singer is invited to sing the national anthem at a public event, does the singer have an obligation to just straightforward sing the song with no embellishments or is it an invitation to put a personal spin on a very well-known tune?

I don't care one way or the other but I think it depends on the event. If it's a solemn occasion, by all means, tone it down. But if you hire Mariah Carey to sing it at the Superbowl (which is not happening, I know, but as an example) I think you should expect her to run scales. And I think that's okay. He's very adamant about it remaining unemotional.

How do you feel, even if you don't really care?

The prices had started at like $9700

I think Taylor Swift is so cute with her football boyfriend. Good for her.

but you led me to the conclusion with little discussion...

Oh, no, I'm so sorry! <3

You raise great points especially that you haven't seen the film

I went to this film by myself recently-it didn't seem like the kind if thing my Florida friends would enjoy and boy was I right! Have you seen it? I'm torn about it but we may be able to discuss it well even if nobody else has seen it yet.

It's difficult to adequately explain. It's sort of a feminized Frankenstein tale with a really odd, disgusting twist. Emma Stone plays the creature, Bella, and is pretty interesting in the role. Mark Ruffalo plays one of her lovers and he just turns my stomach in his role. Willam Dafoe is her creator, Godwyn, mostly referred to as "God".

The cinematography is fanciful, breathtaking at times, absurd at others. It's set in a stylized Victorian era. The soundtrack is cacaphony. Outside Frankenstein vibes, you've never seen this film.

But...Stone plays a woman whose mind is infantile to adolescent and the men in the film do nothing but take advantage of her and abuse her. Or do they? She initiates it all-so how much are the men responsible for?

I wanted to enjoy the thing for its bizarre aspects-and there are many-but that abuse thing was just permeating everything. Is it just me??

Have you ever heard of Yorgos Lanthimos, the director? I take it he's known for the bizarre.

that's fair

I've never been more fed up with both major parties but I'm not throwing my vote away. Not with Trump on the ticket.

Explain this to me? I've never been able to understand this. How does the presence of dogs ruin a place where humans eat, please?

Naw, my goal is to pay it off soon and I can ($$). I wanted to pay it off this year but just kept putting it off. I'm being swayed by the warranties, really. I don't have a desire for a new car and assumed this Corolla would be my last car.

I can't remember what they valued my car at and I can't recall exactly how much I paid for it.

brilliant!

The guy that sold me my car is now hounding me to trade it in, and honestly, he's getting into territory where he has my interest. It sounds too good to be real, though, so I'm hesitating.

It's basically the same payment and price for a 2023 that I have now on my 2020. The new one has 600 miles on it-it was the loaner car they used for a year-and has 7 year warranties on everything.

I'm torn.
