Phew ... hi Carl ๐Ÿ‘‹ Just spent the past 2 hours following back, so my allocated ๐Ÿฆ‹ time is over, and all that's left is to wish you a relaxing Sunday evening ๐Ÿ˜Š Is it true that Japan's currently experiencing a heat wave?

Haha, OK, TY in advance for adding me to your new SP! ๐Ÿ™ I'll have to give it proper attention tomorrow ๐Ÿ˜Š You see, the weekends are for cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, taking the trash out, & maybe, just maybe, for socializing with people IRL.

'Jaw-dropping': Smithsonian tries to rewrite history by removing Trump from impeachment exhibit YouTube video by MSNBC

More and more institutions apparently seem to cave to a mental health patient allowed to roam free and terrorize the globe. The Smithsonian has removed tRump from its impeachment exhibit. And so the jolly dismantling of a once great nation continues ... what's next?

Isn't AZ a weird place to work in film? Obviously, I have no idea and thought, it's either happening in L.A. or maybe even NYC?
Thanks for the link, I'm sure to check it out! So, who's your daughter? I don't see anybody with the same last name - is it Sophia N. Rubin?

Jeffersonย Airplane โ€“ Never Argue with a German If Youโ€™re Tired or European Song [Verse 1] / Sticken in mein hachen / Sticken in mein haut / Fรผgen mein glass mit mein auspucken / Sprechen sie nicht mit einem Deutschen wenn sie mรผden sind / Mein Auto fรคhrt sehr

I don't think it's a good transcription on the website. To me (as a native speaker), the lyrics from Genius made much more sense. In any event: 'Jefferson Airplane get an A' for effort! ๐Ÿ‘

LOL, I probably meant nerves of steel. ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿคฆ English isn't my first language, sometimes I mash two different expressions into one. What usually goes with teflon?

That tracks 'cause White Collar & Suits both aired on USA Network, so that's the connection. Strangely, USA doesn't do (m)any scripted shows anymore, so consider me surprised when they picked up 'Resident Alien' after Syfy canceled it. If you don't know this show, you must see it, it's super funny!

Oh shit, that sucks โ˜น๏ธ You must have nerves like teflon and an unshakeable belief in yourself, 'cause I would imagine you have to deal with a lot of rejection! I couldn't handle it. When I send out one application and it gets rejected, I need a month to get over it ๐Ÿ˜‚
