Anything Goes 36

My wife and I rarely watch movies anymore. Somehow it seems that committing to sit down for 2-3 hours and watch a movie is a bridge too far. Yet we'll watch netflix or whatever and often end up watching multiple episodes for 2-3 hours anyways. It's so dumb, but it's a real thing at our house.

My fiance and I are in an endless loop of arguing about which movie to watch and then she falls asleep 45 minutes into it

We're the same way. Almost never watch movies, but we've killed off nearly 4 seasons of Better Call Saul in the last 10-11 days.

They better be rare or medium rare.

Nothing worse than ruining a really nice piece of meat by cooking it medium or well. Lose all the flavor from the beef.

We were due for a booze or food convo around here. Been a while since we had one.

My wife falling asleep on the couch is one of my pet peeves. It's not that she falls asleep at all, it's that she won't then go upstairs and go to bed. She's a nurse and when she works she has to be up at 5:30, where I can get up 7:30 the next day. So it's not uncommon for her to be sleeping by 10 and for me to stay up til midnight. But she'll fall asleep during whatever we are watching, I'll notice and stop the show so we can pick it up again later. But then she just sleeps on the couch for a bit instead of going to bed right then and there. Her laying there next to me sleeping ruins the experience. I want to crack a beer, watch a game or a movie but it's not the same experience if I have to be quiet and feel a little guilty that I'm doing it while she's sleeping.

Went skiing last night and got absolutely hammered off miller high life’s and cheap whiskey. Might have given myself a concussion in the process too.

Most fun I’ve had in years with that group though.

Pick her up and carry her to bed then

i couldn't sleep so i watch a movie with Anne Hathaway. it is The Last Thing He Wanted ...... i still haven't gotten a good feel if it was based on true world events or a true story.

all i can say is know your world history of world event before you see this or you will be really confuse.

Great series, her and I have been waiting forever it seems.

Fear if Corona Virus 19 have caused empty shelves at Costco and other storesas people stocked upbto stay home in casevofxan all out pandemic...you cannot find any Purelle hand sanitizer for Lysol sprays for sale in many places and also shortages of hand wipes and surgical masks ...people are scared...But Really should they be?

So far only 6vdeaths from the Corona Viris in USA this year to date...None in Canada..

In co trast 80,000 ...yes 80,000 does from the normal influenza flu last year (2019) in the USA and most of those were before April as the flu started dying out by late March...
Surprisingly the normal influenza flu only caused 308 deaths in Canada lat year(2019)

So It would seem that the panic ...at least in relation to the danger of death is way over-stated for corona virus...Apparenently most get only milder cases of it if they get it and there is evidence that people under are at even less risk of getting it ...

Further there is mo nerd to buy the masks because it really is not spread by breathing but more by hands touching or cough droplets hitting surfaces then touched by other people.

So there is a kit of false or hyped situational news that a large section ofvthebpublic has bought into.

There ate sound practices to help prevent possible contracting ofv he Corona virus...avoid large meeting places...do not travel to hot spits for the corona virus...

If you have bad cough and fever check it out at the hospital or with your doctor...wash hands well and use hand disinfectants if you can...Wipe down or use niteilevthrow away gloves for touching doir handlesxand surfaces others frequently touch...

But overall realize you are far more likely to die from regular flu than from this corona virus.
The panic mode seems to be overkill.

Some will contract this virus and some will die but relative to the death from regular flu this seems hardly significant to degree the news media is making it out to be when they give hardly any coverage to the much more deadly regular flu death stories.

The biggest fear as I see it is that although it is generally treatable, depending on the magnitude of contagion it could create a situation where hospitals lack sufficient respirators and other resources to treat everyone. It’s why managing/slowing the spread is imperative.

So since about last February they've been laying the foundation for a new skyscraper in Chicago right across from the building a live in. Been pretty boring stuff for most of that time. Lots of digging holes and laying cement, but things are finally starting to get interesting. It's called "One Chicago", the taller of the two buildings will be 969 ft high! It'll be the 8th tallest building in Chicago when it's finished.

It's pretty cool watching this thing get built. Can't wait for it to be done.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Terrible news

A nighttime tornado is absolutely terrifying

 

[Sir Loin]

Awful.

United Way seems to be the place to donate.

Also, Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson set up a Go Fund Me for families that suffered losses.

I'm all for new supertalls getting built in the city.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Sadly most development dies as result of alderman and NIMBY's in Chicago

Alot of great building designs have been killed or downgraded dramatically as result thru years

My son now really loves the kid's show Super Why.

Holy crap is it an awful show. Just whiny kids with tiny problems (no, Super Readers, you did not save the day spending twenty minutes deciding to compromise on where to pitch a tent), and it's also sadly insanely easy to get their songs stuck in your head.

Sesame Street for life.
