No. I was sick last week and I'm still coughing up a storm. I tried to get a COVID test but the phone lines were jammed. I'm on the mend but I don't want to stand in line until the cough goes away. I'm thinking of taking the day off on Friday and showing up at the BOE first thing.

I want someone to ask this clown crowd of doctors - can you tell me what percentage of Americans actually have access to this type of treatment?  The drugs, the care, etc.  How many.  What percentage because he just tweeted not to be afraid of COVID, that all the drugs and treatments are available.  So tell me please, is this virus dangerous or should we listen to the President - that it's nothing to be afraid of.  Go.  

 

And I would badger and say, "Great - now say something meaningful".

This has also made the debate and the tax stories go into the rearview mirror, and they will continue to speed toward ACB's confirmation along with trying to hype Pence in the debate. They will set the terms, and the media will follow. And we will hear, over and over, how strong Trump is and how anyone who questions or wants to pause is weak and doesn't want America to be strong. 

 

I am just hoping enough voters will not buy this and that the media has lost enough trust with people to where they will tune the talking points out.

My cousin didn't have access to these treatments. We lost him and almost lost his sister. It has been in poor taste these tweets that have been put out. I wish my cousins had gotten these special miracle treatments.

I'm really sorry about your family.  This infuriates me - and his supporters will eat this up.  Like we know - no one has access to this treatment.  And he makes it sound like it's just normal.  And if Joe turns down a live debate (and I sure would) - he'll just gloat and say he's beaten COVID and Joe hasn't.

      GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!

      Falcon Crest

      By te. · Posted

      I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication.

      It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.

      Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime.

      Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.

      French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.

      I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up.

      I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?

      Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.
