Big Blue Huddle

We got the Moderna Vax almost from the get-go. We also got the initial booster when it first became available, just never got the second booster as our doctor said it really wasn't that effective right now. He told us to wait until the fall and there would be several new options.

My wife and I both had Covis, we believe we got coming off our last cruise. Funny, she had symptoms, got tested and was positive and I got tested and was negative. A week later I was now positive and experiencing symptoms of a heavy cold. We both again contacted our doctor about the drug to take and he said as long as we had 'mild' symptoms, the drug would make us feel sicker with diarrhea and other side effects, so we opted not to take it. My wife had a cough that lasted maybe a month afterward but as of now, we are both good to go.

We both ahve had the original Shingles shot but not the booster, which on our list to do very soon.

How or where do you enter a code?

Quote from: Jolly Blue Giant on July 18, 2022, 08:30:16 PMMy girlfriend and I tried "Sex Education" and she didn't like it. She can't stand British accents or something silly like that. She's a hard girl to please when it comes to television shows and movies

Speaking of watching a movie that the wifey will love is "Jane the Virgin" (I believe it's on Netflix). It was the most watched show on Netflix for several months and set records until Ozark blew everything out of the water. Every woman I've ever told to give it a try comes back and tells me it's their favorite show. There's enough murder and mystery to even keep men interested. It's really a fun show to watch

Did you ever get a chance to watch Banshee? You do need an HBO add-on for that and you can probably get 10 days free on the Hulu site. You might be able to binge it in 10 days, but will be a little tough

We have done the Jane The Virgin thing, for a couple of seasons. Yes, my wife loved it but I tired of it after a couple of seasons. I just felt it got overly silly. The premise is great. but it just wasn't my thing. If I told my wife we would go back to it, she would jump at it, but she just doesn't like to watch shows by herself, and I won't go back.

There are several shows that I left mid-stream, like 'This is Us' I believe on NBC. I simply loved the show thru it's first 2-3 seasons, couldn't get enough of it, but it constantly got morbid, the way one family can encounter so much grief and tragedy and it never stopped. I don't know if you ever tried it, but we were watching, I think Season 4, and when the mother started showing signs of Altimerzers, I said enough, no more for me. (MY Mom passed from that). It wasn't just that, it was everything, one on top of another. Good show but it's just too much for me.
Sorry about the Sex-Ed thing, knowing what you write, I thought since it was light and funny, she would like it. (Don't let her watch Fawlty Towers. or Monty Python shows).

As for Banchee, I think that is on something we don't get.

Great I never really listened to the words.

Here is another that I have always loved as it always reminded me of thoise 'older' movies

Bette Davis Eyes

Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips, a sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She got Bette Davis eyes

She'll turn the music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo stand-off sighs
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on a throne
She got Bette Davis eyes

She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come up blue
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you
When she snows you
Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll tease you
She'll unease you
Just to please you
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you
When she snows you
'Cause she knows you
She's got Bette Davis eyes

It's funny, but it is also scary. I've read a few times instead of people helping someone in trouble, they take their cameras out to record it.

Me too. I just do not do well in heat, any heat.
Give me a cold day anytime.       

First I've got to replace the hot water heater.

Also had to buy new tires for my car.

Any good numbers to play??

Times sure have changed

It sure does seem TOO easy for it just to be $100.

The stolen $100 was replaced when the merchandise was bought. so they lost $70 in merchandise and $30 in cash.
Again, just seems too normal for it to be right.

So with my thinking, I'll say $200

Remind me not to buy a lottery ticket today.

I had 4 after two and like others had the basic arrangement except for the elusive 4th letter. I really thought I had it with my 3rd line with TRIBE, but no. Going thru all my unused letters, I still drew a blank, then it had to be a letter already used.

Glad most had an easier time with this word. AND, yes, getting that first letter makes all the difference.

Quote from: Jolly Blue Giant on July 18, 2022, 12:28:44 PMI watched "Inventing Anna" a few weeks ago and enjoyed it. It's very close to the real Anna for whom the movie was made. And Garner absolutely nails the role and looks somewhat similar to the real Anna. Garner is an up 'n comer IMO after her role on Ozark. And she's going to be a female star who didn't make it to the big screen because of a pretty face and oversexed body. She simply has real talent. Highly recommend the series. The real Anna has been in the news lately concerning legal issues and even the building in the movie, which is the real building the real Anna tried to buy is in the news lately

I've basically been keeping up with "Only Murders in the Building" and "The Old Man" - both on Hulu. I like Only Murders.. more than the Old Man, but that's just my personal taste. I hate having to wait a week for each episode. At least for anyone wanting to check out "Only Murders in the Building", the first season is available to binge and the first 4 or 5 episodes of the second season

I watched the first season of "Quantico" that I found interesting and I liked it okay. Unfortunately, my girlfriend did not so I'm not on to season two. She has done some serious complaining about my taste in movies lately so I've let her choose most of the shows the last few days. I won't recommend them unless you are into teen movies and romances 

I did get to binge watch all three movies of "The Expendables"...lotta action, lotta killin, massive explosions, interesting military machinery and guns, etc. Most interesting is the long, long list of incredible Hollywood stars who are in this movie who almost always play lead rolds. Here's just some of them:

Sylvester Stallone
Arnold Schwarzenneger
Jason Stratham
Harrison Ford
Bruce Willis
Wesley Snipes
Dolph Lundgren
Jean Claude Van Damme
Antonio Banderas
Mickey Rourke
Mel Gibson
Chuck Norris
Steve "Stone Cold" Austin
Eric Roberts (Julia's brother)
And dozens of others you'd recognize, but maybe not their names. How they got all these typical lead-action actors to work together is amazing. Don't know how they didn't have Tom Cruise in them LOL

"Expendables 4" is supposed to be released sometime this year

 Just to add some stuff. I watched the first Expendables and it was OK, but I had absolutely no interest in watching some old guys trying to stay young, doing things that should be left to the younger generation. Plus, it is all about getting these has-beens air time. Anyway, if you enjoyed it, great, just not my cup of tea.

As far as Anna, I love how they introduce every episode--"Everything is true, except the parts that are made up."

We were going to start watching Murderers. but we opted for Anna instead. We will definitely try it once we are done with Anna.

I am still waiting on The Old Man and Dark Winds to finish, Once they are done, I will watch them both. I know the missus won't watch them, so it's all on me.

I think I know something you and your lady can watch and you both may like it. I have been watching this series on Netflix, Sex Education. I really thought it would be down and dirty and my wife wouldn't like it, but I was completely surprised. It is a British comedy/drama about some High School kids, some straight some gay, some male, some female, and their trials and stuff during High School. The lead boy's mother is a therapist and he joins another girl and they start a sort of sex-ed thing in school where other kids pay them for advice. It does get a lot more complicated, but it is very light most of the time but does have some drama. I just finished season 2 (out of 3) and watch when I have some free time. It is not a series that will make you have to watch but you can come back anytime and still know exactly where you left off. I find it very enjoyable, told my wife to join in, but she sees Sex Education and she thinks it's a porno thing and it is about as far from that as one can get. Your lady will like this.
