I use closed captioning all the time now, and I don’t even have any hearing issues. Between accents and sound engineering that makes dialogue way too quiet compared to the soundtrack and sound effects, it’s just easier. I ask friends if they mind leaving them on, and most of my friends prefer it too.

I like this idea. The young Princess Elizabeth, who grew up to be Elizabeth I, was quite a scholar, was fluent in several languages, and known for her intelligence.

Fonfidence for everyone!

Indeed. I’ve been saying that constantly for the past 5 months.

Aw bless.

Hey, if it helps, I joined Meetup after my divorce, and I found a “Fine Dining” group. We go out to nice restaurants once every couple months or so, which is great, because a lot of my friends don’t have the time or cash to be able to do it. From that group, I found Savvy Seniors (even though I’m in my mid-40s!), and…

So I don’t want to perpetuate a stereotype, but my ex-husband did leave me for one of his friends/co-workers, who had also become one of my friends. Among other things they traveled to Baltimore for a work project fairly regularly during the last year of our marriage. Or so they said.

As long as everyone’s truly on board and it’s equitable (none of this “You don’t get to date, while I get to sleep with whomever I want” crap), hey, use protection and mazel tov.

Relieved this is not a remake of the elegant Peter Straub novel.

That cognitive dissonance is a bitch, ain’t it?

Bless you. Kevin Conroy always top of the Batman list.

Just because he created the character of Charlie and made John Amos the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs does not mean he gets a permanent “woke” card.

Everybody who is relatively sane and realistic who wants kids ought to have them.

Bless you.

Call me basic, but I find their Samsung commercials very cute, and if they were to break up it would be proof yet again that there is no such thing as true love.

Shit fire, does that mean when she finally divorces his ass, she’s going to have to pay him alimony? Christ, I hope not.

Prince Harry is going to Serena Williams’s wedding as Meghan Markle’s +1

I did in fact. Maybe I misread, I interpreted that the OP and her boyfriend were at another hotel.

*nods* Accurate.

Why did they have keys to your hotel room?
