I also wear a good quality, washable, non medical mask when I'm out and about and when shopping and stuff. The advantages: Protect my patient, my colleagues and myself at work (t... |

| Hi Everyone! I'm interested in purchasing a couple of virtual reality headsets. I enjoy watching movies, documentaries and Youtube. My son (age 15 and has ASD) would likely do the same, plus would be interested in video games and 3D games. I am not particularly computer or technology savvy. I'm a 50... |

| I've been out of the "dating scene" for a while (having been married for almost 15 years). I will say this though: When someone is meeting up for the first "dates" (whether they involve physical intimacy or not), I wouldn't assume anything. Either partner could be seeing others. ... |

"I feel pretty" is a new movie, starring Amy Schumer.
