From what I can tell from accounts of his eating habits, he ate more calories per meal than I do in 4 daily meals - plus mine have veggies, fruits, lean meats and no processed carbs - he apparently loved creamy pasta - shit will catch up with you, even a magnificent actor like him.

I generally have 2500-2700 calories per day, all of it healthy items typically described as the Mediterranean Diet. I neither drink nor smoke and I exercise vigorously, including occasional instruction in boxing.

I could kick your ass, fxxxxx.

My temperature this morning was 97.2° - what was yours old man?

My healthy cholesterol is over 60 - that's HDL, in case you don't know.

BP 115/76, no medication. Don't have a stroke, fxxxxxx.

As I stated earlier, all of the bullshit I have (excluding my cable bill) is only about $100 a month so I agree with you that it's hardly worth breaking the law to get it for free. But I don't know people's finances on here so maybe a 100 bucks actually means something to them.

That's funny. HH, can you send me some of that if it happens soon? I really need it. I only have about 3 weeks of supply left. I definitely did not anticipate that people would be buying up all of the TP around me weeks ago.

I just checked Netflix but they don't have it. Signing up for Netflix is the best $14 a month I have ever spent. The content is freaking amazing. I wanted to see "House of Cards" more than any other show and loved it. Right now, I'm watching "Orange is the New Black".


I have been through the history of the Roman Empire, the Greeks, the British, the French ( learning a lot of history I didn't know ) some really good original programming by Netflix.


If you aren't worried about spending $14 a month which apparently some are, I can't recommend it enough. Between Netflix, HBO, Showtime, I'm like a kid in a candy store.


Oh and the first month is now free if you are one of those worried that you can't afford $14 a month or your techie friends might make fun of you for not having the "appropriate source".

HF, be sure to watch Ozark on Netflix as well. And if you like absurdity, be sure to watch Tiger King.

Oh, sorry to hear about your sister. What was her pre-existing condition that made her particularly vulnerable to aggressive viruses and diseases? (Diabetes or heart defects .... or was she another heavy smoker?) It's unfortunate that she was not able to benefit from some of the more recent "innovative" successful "experiments" with some old substances that have been around for 100's of years ... and used frequently in this country for decades.

Perhaps her demise was helpful to others who became ill after her and will be helpful to others in the near future.

By the way ... if the SocialistCommunistLiberalLoons like you don't want many people to die and the economy to go into the shitter for the purpose of blaming Trump and unsitting him the White House (since all of their other efforts FAILED TO DO SO!), then why the fuck do you and them dwell on the DEATHS and UNEMPLOYMENT rather than focusing on those MILLIONS who are not suffering from a disabling condition and/or any symptoms at all while looking at those who ARE STILL EMPLOYED and THOSE BUSINESSES that are thriving to provide others with gainful employment?

In other words ... have a "Life Stat" instead of a "Death Stat"! Or putting it another way ...

Celebrate the LIVING instead of the DEAD AND DYING! It won't make any difference to you, but ....

.. during the 2019-2020 FLU SEASON a lot of sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters .... DIED!

WHERE WERE YOU? Like I said .... you don't read much, do you?

[friendly fred]

Amen!

I like that.

So to put the numbers into living perspective.

1. In the range of 99.997% of people in the USA have not died of Wuhan Virus.

2. More babies will be born in the USA today than the current total of Wuhan Virus deaths in the USA since the start of the outbreak.

I must have been drinking and really bored that early morning. It was so many years ago that I don't remember what state of mind I was then. All I know is that I was obviously in the mood to start some dumb shit in that thread for my own entertainment

Hilarious!

"I doubt any person with a normal job can show up late all of the time for SIX years and just say, "sorry, that's just what I do." It sounds like you two clowns need to get with reality.

I don't know what is more pathetic - you two, or the dumb asses who expect different services than what they already know from the reviews they have read....If anything, it seems pretty consistent to me and you dumb asses who schedule with these clowns get EXACTLY what you were told to avoid.

I second your recommendation for Ozark btw. I loved the final scene, where Wendy and Marty are soaked in blood and guts and staring at each other in disbelief while ******* hugs them like long lost friends. The only ending I can think of that beats that was the last season of Breaking Bad.

I'd like to read that if it's not hard to find. You should put a list together of posts that have you ROTFLMAO, you've got a talent for remembering those and digging them up.

It's kind of weird. Again, I gave up after 5 minutes, but the gist appeared to be that we need to let the viruses take their course so they can eat up all the old tissue and make us healthy. I didn't watch the whole thing but am assuming that would apply to Covid 19, smallpox, HIV, the flu, etc. Which would mean you'd have hundreds of millions of people dead if you followed this guys advice.

It's like the false science of social Darwinism. When Darwin postulated his theory of "survival of the fittest" he said very specifically that this theory did not apply to people. People can make decisions that run against their best interests. This has always been a favorite theory of progressives.

I'm sorry .... I must have missed his disclosure of ....


..."workout regimen" ... Nonetheless ... I will repeat ...

... "too high"!

I discovered it ....

All this concern about Trump and his mask...I'm touched. Anyone remember Ronald Reagan? Do you know that he never entered the Oval except in a suit and tie? Unlike Obama, he never put his feet up on the furniture. He thought it showed disrespect.

1. The WHO has estimated that World Wide about 80% of those who have been identified as actually having the virus show little to know signs of the presence of the virus.

Which is similar to the recent stat here in this country ...

2. An estimated 25% of those tested showed NO SYMPTOMS of the virus.*

*I'm not sure who they got in line for a test, unless of course, if they are an NBA player ... then they get to the front of the line apparently.

Another interesting stat: "unemployment" ... I have not researched to discover the source of that stat, but from the generally publicized businesses going South are in the "hospitality" and "travel" areas with the emphasis on "service" jobs ...

... the immediate/impending opportunities for "small businesses" reminds me of the Katrina debacle when fishermen/fishing businesses (shrimpers etc as well) were seeking to receive "relief" from the devastation of the Hurricane to their business .....

... their tax returns filed were not substantiating their claims of "lost income"!

Like many ..... 15-20% of their claims! I can't wait to hear "Joe" whining that he needs $200,000 to carry is $2.35 an hour waitress and $3.50 an hour bartender for the next month or so until the virus fades so he can keep "Joe's Corner Bar" open ... when he can't even allow customers inside .... "take out"!

We can't even have a decent "wake" for "Muy Largo"'s Muy Deceased sister*!

*If he actually had a sister!
