Best answer is don't put anything on Facebook that has anything to do with your personal life (which includes sexy photos with your wife and/or significant other). That and don't take jobs where some HR person insists that you have to cough up your Facebook password.

My employer (a rental car company) mandates that we, as drivers, wear masks but I'm one of the few that does any more inside our chase van (where we're really close together, I might add). I have to interact with the rental agents, all of whom wear masks when inside their office and around guests (ie customers); so it's not that big of a deal as far as I'm concerned. Besides, you should have to smell half of the stuff I'm exposed to in the course of a day when I drive returned rental cars: people smoking all kinds of stuff, etc. I'd rather wear a mask and limit my exposure to the possibility of getting the flu or lung cancer than not wear a mask.

My whole immediate family, myself included!

But I left FL about a month after my vaccinations >_>

My family (husband, daughter and I) are vaccinated and live in Florida now. And,despite what youve been told, if not for efforts to stop Ebola from spreading to the US from overseas started during the Obama Administration, T..Operation Warp Speed wouldnt have made any difference. These vaccines were in development to prevent Ebola but, when an Ebola vaccine was discovered, they were put on a back burner until COVID-19 came along. If anyone should get credit for these vaccines, its Obama.

I hope she is doing this as a screw you disney, but also for other actors where this will happen with all the other upcoming MCU movies.

They also did this to Robin Williams when he did the first animated "Aladdin" movie, hence his joke that Mickey wasn't given a thumb so that he couldn't hold the check that Disney gave him. For that insult Robin Williams' voice wasn't used for the genie in "Aladdin 2", a mistake that cost Disney a bundle in audience good will and money. Disney was forced to bring Williams back for "Aladdin 3" and give him a higher paycheck; so what Disney's done to ScarJo isn't new by any stretch of the imagination.

Played an euphonium for a few years but don't anymore. I have played a xylophone and handbells from time to time, however.

Bringing Up Baby (1930s with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn) and Philadelphia Story (1940s with, again, Cary Grant, Kate Hepburn but added in Jimmy Stewart). Then there's It Happened One Night with Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable from the 1930s and You Can't Take It With You (Jimmy Stewart's first picture which came out in the early 1930s). Of course nobody can leave out any movie with the Marx Brothers, Laurel and Hardy, or Monty Python; those are classics, along with the Little Rascals (who mostly did shorts in the 1930s). More recent would be the Airplane! series, Naked Gun series, Blazing Saddles and other Mel Brooks movies, Top Secret!, Hot Shots series and the first Major League movie.

Animated: Dexter's Laboratory

The only thing that I didn't like about Raimi's Spidey 1 was that, at the end, Spidey gets the girl. In the comics, Spidey NEVER gets the girl, which is, to me, one of Spidey's more endearing qualities since he's more of a working class hero than Captain America or any of the others in the MCU, with the possible exception of Black Widow and/or the Guardians of the Galaxy.

I'd like another Professor Layton game. The puzzles were always challenging even though the game's plots, from time to time, bordered on the bizarre.

yes because, even though I'm fully vaccinated, I'm a considerate, respectful person who doesn't know if they might be a Covid-19 carrier or not. Just because you have your shots doesn't mean that you can't spread Covid-19 to others who can't get the shots for medical reasons (such as cancer patients, etc.)

Wild Blue Yonder but I'm biased since I served in the Air Force.

I like shorts, they're comfy and easy 2 wear.

Gotta catch them all.

I'm from Minnesota originally so I've called it Pop, soda or Coke (depends on the type). I've even called it soda pop on occasion. I've heard Pop used the most, however, since Minnesota shares a border with Canada.

I'm sorry but I always thought that Snow White was set in France, much like Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella. Then again perhaps I'm mistaken in that assumption since both France and Germany have castles, as does the UK and a few other countries.

And here my first published novel was a superhero story before Disney started their run with Marvel properties such as Captain America, etc. Guess that I was a few years too early.

It's fine I guess I don't know what reason I have to not just get regular Dr. Pepper though

If I got a non regular Dr. Pepper I'd rather go with Cherry

I like Dr. Pepper Cherry. Of course Dr. Pepper Cream Soda isn't bad either. Then again I prefer Vanilla Pepsi over Vanilla Coke; so my tastes are different from a lot of others.

Even though most of my coworkers are T... supporters, all but two of them have had their Covid shots. What gets me is that these two non-vaccinated workers were friendly with another coworker who scoffed at the idea of getting a covid shot, only to die of Covid-19 due to complications (such as that she had diabetes, etc.). And she died within three or four days of the first sign of symptoms, which is even more horrifying since the drive crew she led was quarantined for 2 weeks after her bosses learned that she had Covid.

In my opinion, I believe that the only reason T... wants China to pay is because he OWES the Chinese for the loans he took out from them before he became President. After all I believe those loans, from China, Russia, etc. come due in 2023, which is why T... is trying so hard to get back into office, so he won't have to pay them back with his own funds.

This behavior doesn't surprise me since there are too many incidents of people doing this at businesses as well. In fact, at one rental car agency branch, the branch manager let someone use their bathroom once and discovered, as they were closing the branch for the evening, that person had vetted their anger by covering the walls, etc. of the bathroom with their poop (which is pretty disgusting if you ask me). All I hope is that the branch manager knew who the person was and forced him to pay for the company's expense of having to get the bathroom thoroughly cleaned (since it put that bathroom out of commission for days if not weeks). To me that's a childish, petty and vindictive way to air any grievance when you have Facebook, Twitter and such available.

I'll take ham, sausage, steak or chicken as long as there's cheese, green peppers and onions in the omelet along with eggs, of course. Hash browns can either be in the omelet or on the side as it were.

He should but, sadly enough, he won't since there are too many people who think like he does in this country. In fact most of them will consider him a hero for 'sticking it to the libs' and frequent his restaurant for just that reason.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day; so I'll either visit the local park dedicated to veterans from all wars and/or watch war movies. I couldn't learn, on the news or elsewhere, if any commemorations were being held in my area until after they happened, which really stinks.

Texas is getting the rain Florida usually gets at this time of year. Florida demands that Texas return the rain immediately.

I have a Lego Bonsai tree. Do you have a tree to put your treehouse in, or is it a free standing tree house?

Price because he didn't only do horror and/or science fiction movies. He was, early in his career, a stock actor that had roles in historical dramas (Song of Bernadette, he was the town prosecutor) and other movies. Price had prominence as an actor long before Lee and Cushing did.

Between my getting furloughed from my job for three to four months and my mother in law's funeral (which happened before I was furloughed from work, thank God), 2020 was a lousy year for my family and me personally. The only bright spot was that it ended on December 31st.

Heart Gold and Soul Silver are the pinnacle.

I believe Platinum is the pinnacle for Pokemon with its challenging post game areas and underground. The only other games that come close are Diamond/Pearl, Black/White 1 and Black/White2.

Have you tried calamine lotion on your rash to see what reaction you get? Calamine lotion's available just about everywhere and can reduce the urge to itch your rash, at least until you can see a doctor.

I've heard that Yellowstone with Kevin Costner is really popular (more like the Sopranos but with a western flavor), which is on either Paramount or another network. Resident Alien, in its first season on the SyFy channel, isn't bad either (though it's pretty quirky), and NCIS (other than New Orleans, which was cancelled) are pretty good too. WandaVision was all right as far as what they did with the old sitcoms but most MCU stuff I see has more of a superficial plotline but then again I'm not a MCU fan. I'm sure that there are other series on regular TV that are just as good, if not better, than what's on the streaming services if you look hard enough.

I hate those types of job-postings.

So do I, especially when you learn, in most cases, employers looking for a degree and that many years of experience don't pay any more than openings where you don't need that amount of experience. What those employers are looking for are 'diamonds in the rough' or employees that they believe can 'hit the ground running' so that they don't have to pay for any on the job training.

I wondered when someone would post that clip from Pokemon. It's always good for a laugh at least as far as I'm concerned. I do, however, have one other question. Is the mother single or married? That, if anything, would make a difference.

I'm surprised that Shake and Steak isn't on the list since the restaurants around me don't have many customers dining there ever since Covid-19 happened. I'd be sorry to see IHop go out of business since 1) they opened a couple of new locations over a year ago, 2)I'd have breakfast there once a month before Covid-19 came along and 3)they're the only competition to our local Village Inn and Denny's, which, if Denny's goes out of business, would leave us with only Village Inn for breakfast unless we plan to go to Chik-fil-a or some fast food place.

I haven't decided yet if I plan to go to Comic Con or Metro Con in Florida this year (not the San Diego version of either event). I did break down and schedule a visit to Busch Gardens but we've had at least one covid-19 shot and plan to stay masked the whole time (as well as remain the recommended distance from others if at all possible). Didn't want to do that but being cooped up inside all of the time (when not at work or shopping) has given me a bit of a case of cabin fever.

1980s the time of the cold war between the USSR and US? That 1980s? I was in the Armed Forces at the time; wouldn't want that time to EVER come back.

I'm not sure about his name but the man who created the Cherokee language and social structure long before Europeans arrived and destroyed it. I'd put him in the same category as Tesla and company any day.

Living on Florida's west coast, news that you know who wants to move to NJ is fantastic news but his buddy, the governor, won't like it very much. There are some folks here who would, quite willingly, help him pack his bags for the trip.

When people ask me, I state that there's a relative in my household who's autoimmune compromised. Of course that hasn't stopped people from going around me mask less or influenced them to get vaccinated, even though I wear a mask every time that I go anywhere (change into 2 or 3 masks a day and wash them between uses, as well as wash my hands whenever possible). It does however, make me feel as if I'm doing my part to stop the spread of Covid-19 and shows others that I care about their health and welfare as well as my own.

I've talked to a couple of guys that are avid MLP fans around Hole's age while hanging around my daughter who's written MLP fan fiction that's been published online. Their discussions have touched on inclusion in society for everyone, even those who aren't supposedly the 'upper tier' unicorns. In fact the two I talked with despised the unicorns for acting 'superior' to everyone else in the MLP universe; so it's surprising to me that a MLP fan would hit white supremacy websites unless they had other problems.

This voice acting stuff isn't only in animation, however. Darth Vader (played by a white actor) is voiced by James Earl Jones, which shocked me when I first learned the truth. My first thought was that James Earl Jones lent his voice to Darth Vader because 1)he was relatively unknown and wanted the exposure and 2)the director at the time (George Lucas) believed that his voice would bring more gravitas to the role. Only in the recent past has the acting community started to address their part in perpetuating racism through movies, television, etc. but they aren't the only ones responsible since you have to change the mindset of those who write, produce and film the art itself.

I use Anker wireless earbuds which block out noise but not headphones. The sound quality's pretty good too.

A new laptop since the laptop I use now is so slow and, no matter how many times I have it optimized, etc., the speed is still slow. To have a laptop that I don't have to get replaced because it's ancient would be nice for once.

They've been opening dozens in Florida; people really are crazy about them there. Gives 7-11, Circle K and Race Track a run for their money.

I'll eat my grilled cheese with a side of tomato soup but I've never dunked my grilled cheese in the soup. I've always reasoned that it distracts from my being able to relish the flavor of the soup itself.

Sounds like a job for Cesar Milan.

One of the networks has already contacted Cesar Milan. He's available if asked.

I believe it because some people can't put themselves in someone else's footsteps and see the damage they're doing with their actions. Case in point: denying someone who has kidney and/or bladder problems in their employ access to a bathroom when they need to go. While I realize some people take advantage of certain policies, which includes bathroom breaks, most, I believe, don't, and those that do are usually discovered sooner or later. There's no reason to work people so hard that they have to resort to desperate measures just to go to the bathroom.
