But, maybe you're looking only for friends who do poorly even in ... |

| Our Christmas Card list is shorter because of the Pandemic. She was a nice lady. It is sad that COVID took her. |

Especially as the 1 year art course I’m on before doing a BA is a. Part time (3 days a week plus 1 day of independent study) b. Doesn’t have exams (it has coursework instead and c. You can’t fail it Is it free? Otherwise, is it worth the cost? |

| Well, if high enough and in a form they find accepatable, I hope you consider joining Mensa. You should fit right in. And...despite what so many people think...it's not an organization to talk about how high your IQ is (that would be boring since all members have one). |

| Welcome to WP! I hope you find it a pleasant place to visit no matter what the diagnosis turns out to me. I was diagnosed at age 64, after I was retired. Mainly it was wonderful finally knowing what had been going on my whole life. I can't say I've found any real, practical use for the diagnosis...b... |

| Last night we watched: Happily [2021] - - - "A killer romantic comedy." About an hour into the film my bride declared "This is really good!" I'll go as far as pretty good. But it held my attention even though I think at its core it was basically a strange, leisurely drama. IMDb l... |

| Well...playing with the NT boys might not have been as much fun as you'd guess. By mutual consent I didn't do it a lot. Shaved top of the head?! I used to shave the front ...though we took advantage of the Pandemic to experiment with not shaving it. My bride likes the beard and mustache so now I'm n... |

| Never heard of this. Sounds like a film I would enjoy. Just remember: shallow. We watched it last night. This morning I couldn't recall the story line for the last part of the film so I re-watched the last part. Turns out there wasn't much story line. The trailer correctly characterizes the film. T... |

| No need to apologize! I was the one splitting hairs. (Check...did I give you split ends?) And, yes, from some perspectives (like from my perspective!) it is funny for a 29-year old to talk about their youth. I have shoes older than you! (Well, boots, actually.) Frankly, before today I'd never seen t... |
