I am a frequent traveler. I just returned from a cruise 2 weeks ago and last Wednesday I booked another one for June. I'm not sure I would trek off to Asia or Europe right now simply because I would't want to be quarantined for 14 days in my cabin that far from home, but right now I wouldn't hesitate to hop on a ship. You really can't be referring to the new Vettes? My son owns a ZR1 - it is beautiful. Problem is this time the "news" is creating economic havoc. I don't know what to expect from the market this week, but the sell off last week was crazy and all it will take for it to go into a bull market is a few more deaths in the US. The news media will have a 24/7 field day with that causing people stop going out to restaurants, movies, shopping, etc. What a mess! My son and I go out for a really nice dinner to celebrate holidays - like Capital Grille, Morton's, etc. We have a great time together and split the bill. Judy - Interesting movie, but depressing. I thought Renee did a great job capturing the mood of Garland's last year. The fact that she was fed pills by the film studios from the time she was 17 is horrible. They were monsters and I can't imagine why anyone would trade a normal life for that crap. Right now, yes I do. According to the John Hopkins website, the flu caused between 291,000 - 646,000 deaths world wide last year alone, yet other than reminding people to get a flu shot, the media paid little attention to it. There have been less than 3,000 deaths so far and primarily in China. We have had 1 death in the US and the sky is falling. Unless people continue with their lives and use common sense precautions the economic repercussions of this virus could be far worse than the actual disease if mass hysteria takes grip. I saw it this afternoon. Our cable went out last night and it was just repaired. I went to Red Box this morning and picked up this movie, Knives Out, and Judy to have something to watch. The key word is "reportedly" and this belongs on the political forum. 1) Small Soldiers (1998) 2. Toys (1992) 3. March of the Wooden Soldiers (1934) 4. Dollman vs. Demonic Toys (1993) 5.

Pinocchio (1940) It was a cool spot to visit! Funny story about camping - as I previously mentioned, we traveled all over the US and to some remote locations. We had a propane fridge in the camper so we could keep meat cold w/o having to bother with ice. We also hooked up a small grill to the tanks and many times we would pull off in a secluded area and grill burgers or hot dogs for lunch because there just wasn't anything else around. According to my son who was 15 at the time, that was THE MOST EMBARRASSING THING HE HAD EVER DONE IN HIS LIFE, because normal people went to a restaurant for lunch. He moaned and groaned until one night we were in the panhandle of Texas and we told him we would go to Mc Donald's for dinner. When we checked in we asked where the nearest MD's was and were told, "Oh, about 60 miles east of here." He got another burger from our grill that night. Well some members of my family only shop on line and never include any way to return the gift. I finally told one of them if they continued to give me something I couldn't use it was going to Goodwill. I have this big problem with adult gift giving at Christmas and they know my feelings but they insist on buying my husband and myself presents - his adult children, not mine. Long ago my son and I stopped the gift giving and we are both much happier. Yep - total fun. 1. Earl Brooks - Mr.Brooks 2. Ellie Arroway - Contact (1997) I knew about that going in. CGI made it possible for dogs and other animals to do things they wouldn't have been able to do as real animals. There were times when I actually forgot they were CGI and then there were times when it was obvious. I don't think the CGI took anything away from the story they were telling. Perhaps we like football??????? I like to look at and touch what Im buying. I only shop on-line when it's something I can't find at retail. I especially hate getting a gift that has been purchased on-line because I only have two options if I don't like, want, or need it and that is tell the person who gave it to me that I would like to return it, (awkward), or give it to Goodwill. No, we had pop-up trailers that were pulled by our van. During the years we camped we had several different models - all basically the same, some with more bells and whistles than others. We traveled with electric blankets and a small color TV - not really roughing it - LOL. I enjoyed the show. 114 million people viewed it and they only had 1,300 complaints? Yes I do. Back when my son was growing up we did about 8 years of "See America" by camping. We did it with a pop-up and stayed in campgrounds, so not primitive by any means. One time we camped at the foot of Devils Tower with a full moon and that was spectacular - something we couldn't have seen staying in a motel. 1. Pursuit of the Graf Spee (1956) 2.
