So sorry you are sick, and glad it is not as bad as earlier versions of Covid. I hope you improve from pancake to potato soon!

I was just thinking about how close I stand next to people in line at the grocery store and 7-11 now. Seems we have no worries anymore. I decided that besides the shots, smoking a lot of cigarettes and pot have kept me immune. My comfort shows are Monk, Bones, Magnum and Castle types, and yes, I even pay fo the Hallmark mystery channel. Shit I'm old.

Hahaha! You crack me up! I love that you pay for Hallmark Mystery Channel — watch it loud and proud, Amy! There's nothing like a good tidy procedural to take you from "everything's gone to shit" to "all's right with the world." in under 60 mins!

Sorry Mary you got pancaked, but yes great line! Omg whenever I indulge in a big blockbuster movie like Dune 2 or MadMax i get so carried away. Feeling seat and feet and also what the arms are doing in the theater chair are great reminders. I love this thanks!

Thanks Matt — that phrase "carried away" is so apt! I never want to keep people from the fun ride, but these days, with so many "tempters" trying to steal our attention, I just want everyone to find their way back home!

“Couch pancake”, “rising like a pheasant” (<—BWAAAA HAAAA HAAA, sums up my last 6 months😂😂!!!) — LMAO—Oh my god, I love you!!! I hope you feel better my sweet pal — I’m sorry Montana gave you the gift that keeps on giving, and not the panoramic selfie!!! 💜💜💜

Montana, Covid ... feels like it hasn't been that long since my all too brief visit and yet so much has happened since then. Sounds like you're feeling better. :) As a kid, one of the first movies that left it's imprint was "The Unsinkable Molly Brown". I remember after being riveted and totally falling in love in with Molly Brown, I walked up the theater isle of Radio City Music Hall and felt in my entire body that I was Molly Brown. Soooo ... in that sense identifying with the strength of a character by means of it reinforcing the indomitable spirit that lies within was a good thing for little me back then. Currently, with everything going on within and without I've returned to Seinfeld from the beginning. That is the kind of absurd and riciculousness I can laugh at. And, inspired to channel my NY/NJ inner Elaine more and more. Crazy about you Mare! xoxo
