Big Blue Huddle

Murphy showed up at Mass one Sunday and the priest almost fell down when he saw him. He'd never been to church in his life.

After Mass, the priest caught up with him and said, "Murphy, I am so glad ya decided to come to Mass. What made ya come?"
Murphy said, "I got to be honest with you Father, a while back, I misplaced me hat and I really, really love that hat. I know that McGlynn had a hat just like mine and I knew he came to church every Sunday. I also knew that he had to take off his hat during Mass and figured he would leave it in the back of the church. So, I was going to leave after Communion and steal McGlynn's hat."
Later, the priest said, "Well, Murphy, I notice that ya didn't steal McGlynn's hat. What changed your mind?"
Murphy replied, "Well, after I heard your sermon on the 10 Commandments, I decided that I didn't need to steal McGlynn's hat after all"
With a tear in his eye the priest gave Murphy a big smile and said, "After I talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' ya decided you would rather do without your hat than burn in hell?"
Murphy slowly shook his head. "No, Father, after ya talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' I remembered where I left me hat."

Last year, at this time, anyone who had money in a retirement account, ANY account that is in the Stock market, were pulling their hair out and thinking that they may have to work till they are 90. We were going on a Trans Atlantic cruise, leaving March 1, and while we were sitting in the cruise terminal, waiting to board and knowing we would be out of touch for the next 2 weeks, I was desperately trying to reach our 'advisor' to see what we should do. Finally, as we were boarding, he called me, told me to relax, enjoy the cruise and things will be back to normal very soon. We did follow his advice and look at the run the Bull market has had since then. I know we are pleased. Our investments are pretty low risk, so we may not lose as much, but we also won't become millionaires either. So, is this going to end anytime soon?

The bull market is now a year old, with the S&P 500 up nearly 75 percent from its low point at this time last year. That recovery, The Times

I haven't a clue.

Guaranteed you have seen the movie many times.

Huge hint, think Bond, James Bond.

You know Ed, I had always claimed that Fear was a better show than TWD (except, not in its prime). For some reason, last year, I just got tangled up with this series, and it never really got me going the way it did in the past. It also just went a bit too 'out there'. I still don't understand how an almost mortally wounded Morgan, surrounded by a basic horde of Walkers, got away?. I knew he would, but I still never understood how, and they didn't even show it. It was the cliffhanger show, and when the next season started, he was wandering about somewhere. I'm sure they explained it somewhere, but that just pissed me off, and I really never got back to like it as much. It does have much better characters, especially with Morgan and Dwayne (Is that his name) from TWD, Jenna Elfman is good, but, I don't know, something just made me give up on it.
I always said it was the better show though.

Let's stay at this flower show we went to

Try these unusual species of Cactus on for size






















And my favorite--HANDS UP

I saw this advertised in my proper today. Really doesn't sound like something I would really like, but I have said that about many things and have liked them, so I will give it a shot in the near future.

I kind of figured that Ed.

As I said, I am invested in this show and I will watch it to the end. I have given up on FTWD and whatever else came afterward.

Check out some of the great shows that some of us have mentioned on the 'What Are You Watching' thread. There is something for everyone.

"Man has climbed Mount Everest, gone to the bottom of the ocean. He's fired rockets at the Moon, split the atom, achieved miracles in every field of human endeavor... except crime!"

Isn't anyone going to take a shot at this? Not a softball but reasonably known.

having met you and your lovely wife, broken bread together, and enjoyed just a great evening with you and friends, I am so glad that you are getting and enjoying what life is giving you. As we all know, when life gives us lemons, we need to make lemonade.

And, as I would say to a good friend  Mazel Tov on your retirement and new digs.

On looking over that list, I am completely baffled by what a 'crime' is. Some movies, yes, I can put into that category, but others, I just don't know. I can definitely see Goodfellas as that whole movie is about a crime, but 'On The Waterfront where is the crime, and West Side Story, is a gang fight a crime?

AND where are all the GREAT 'crime' movies of Film Noir, like The Maltese Falcon, The Postman Always Rings Twice and so many more.  Just one of the most ridiculous lists I have ever seen about a certain genre of movies.
