@TomMcGiverin True, and many forget that during WW2 armaments and munitions were sold equally to both sides with no restrictions. This is why I find it strange today that people have fits saying the U.S. is going to start something with Russia by supplying weapons to the Ukraine. In the name of profits both sides in a conflict will end up with weapons any way you look at it.

DenoPenno replies on May 1, 2023:

I had a boss in Texas who was into acting and tried to get me into it also. He was often in scenes in the background watering animals or something while the main dialog between others goes on. Each gig would be something you go to and it would be 4 hours wait and you may find they cut your scene out so you were there for nothing. In those days MadHatter was a good agency and your portfolio would have your picture, what you like and are into, etc. Movie scenes with bike riders and truck drivers was very common and still is. You see these guys driving on the highway and do not know who they are, but they are actors also. I thought about it for a while but decided not to do it. I did meet a man who was in Urban Cowboy as a dancer. All he did was dance with a woman and I met him on a home repair call. He showed me photos and his paycheck stub, then pointed outside and said that was how he bought his big Harley. Acting is still a big hurry up and wait.

Wow, you been married 4 times. What did you learn from those marriages?

DenoPenno replies on May 1, 2023:

My biggest take on 4 times married is that 2 of them were a mistake. Also, 2 of the women already had children so getting them pregnant was not a reason for the marriage. My favorites are my current Kenyan ex and one in Texas who died. The Texas wife had kids and I was like a stepdad. I often think the idea of 4 came out of my formative years and ignorant mistakes when my parents got into religion. We were all confused.

I get it but I am not having Hollywood shape anything for me. I read about a film or series and decide to watch it or not. I like all types of films but do not care about some because I do not like the actors. I choose many and do not know the actors and often have a pleasant surprise. The lead in a film or series can be male or female. I'm also currently into a UK series called Silent Witness in which the lead is a female autopsy doctor.

DenoPenno replies on May 1, 2023:

I'm not talking about porn. I hate porn and the movies I mention are trying to reflect their version of real life on us. The ones that make these shows appear to believe they are giving us the content that we wanted but it does not fly with me.

DenoPenno replies on May 1, 2023:

I get this totally. As far as I know I only have 2 children. Kids are nice but I am relieved when they go home after a visit. My house has no running, no hide and seek, no ball playing or other such things that all belong outside. Once at my daughter's place one of her adopted kids climbed into the washing machine and cried for help because the lid locked. In trying to get her out, I threatened to put her in the spin cycle. :) True story.

The strange thing here is that Raymond Burr was gay but he never played Perry that way. I haven't see the new show yet. Currently into binge watching Deputy with Stephen Dorff.

Many of us forget that in WW2 weapons were sold to everyone all at the same time. This is Capitalism for you.

Most of them have never even traveled outside of their own state let alone knowing how to receive and watch International news programs.

How did Dominion demonstrate damages to the tune of millions of dollars?

DenoPenno replies on Apr 26, 2023:

Nothing was demonstrated. A decision was made before trial because everyone knew that Dominion voting machines were not and could not switch votes from Trump to Biden. That idea is ridiculous. Now the lawsuit door is open for Smartmatic and others to follow. Murdoch will end up not being able to insure Fox for anything before this is over. The big crime, the big lie, was to give people what they wanted to see and hear. In this respect Fox News did produce. On one of my deliveries Tuesday I saw Fox News on and the big headline was that Hunter Biden is being brought up on a paternity lawsuit. I'm thinking Hillary's e-mails might have the answer for all of this.

If you live in Canada I doubt you will be locking any of them up. For Americans however, this is a political party statement that demands power and loyalty out of the right.

I've said this before many times but nobody gets it. The current scheme of things is to get your money by any means possible and to get as much money as they can. Powers that be cannot get your money if you are dead. People die every day but killing you only creates money for the undertaker.

DenoPenno replies on Mar 26, 2023:

@FrayedBear I will have nothing that others inherit. My 2 daughters get my bank accounts if anything is left when I die. My property is a half acre of land and a car. My life is my electronics inside my mobile home and when I die my kids can go electronically nuts. This does not mean they will know how to use any of it. They can keep my mobile home by simply paying the yearly taxes if they wanna live here but I do not think it is worth moving. The question foremost would be "do they want my land." Just move in. I'll be dead and not complain.

The way believers see it all today is a recent idea put together with lots of bullshit from Saul of Tarsus who never even met Jesus. Paul, as he became later, wrote a third of the NT. He once said for his teachings that he could not tell if he was in or out of his body when he received them from a higher power.

@Castlepaloma I live in a 2 bedroom 16 wide mobile home on my half acre of land in a small town community. As an old man I work 2 days a week and also have my Social Security. Freedom and healthy food are it and I could buy a new car outright if I wanted to but I refuse even to finance one. Total system collapse would ruin me but I do not play their games. I'm aware but I do not fear. As an introvert my life is my 5 days a week that I can do my own thing at home privately. My drunken neighbor does not understand that. (Guess I"m like George Thorogood.) Next week they will bring my new dishwasher. I just went to Lowe's and wrote the $928 check last week. Crypto is gypto, but I did invest in pot once in Canada. ACB did a reverse split and took my money. I watch out for me but you can bet I'll never do that again.
