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. I'm running out of excuses why I can't meet them ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™

Yo, Carl, what's up! How was the workout! Just a quickie message to say 'hi' ๐Ÿ‘‹ I need to use Sat/Sun to prepare for work next week, which means I gotta stay away from ๐Ÿฆ‹ to avoid spending hrs here. This is why I don't play video games!

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?

Does he actually need people that lie to him or to the public?

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‘

Jeffersonย Airplane โ€“ Never Argue with a German If Youโ€™re Tired or European Song

Only one criminal comes to mind, and that's 'Teflon Don' ๐Ÿ˜ 
August 1, 2025 at 7:48 PM
Wow, the song really is in some weird German - perhaps it's all they remembered from school?
August 1, 2025 at 7:44 PM
But back to that lost opportunity ... I can imagine that hurts - but, I betcha the moment you land a big role, this will just be a faint memory. ๐Ÿคž

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?
