So many topics to discuss and so little time!

It is one of those rainy days in South Florida--sun comes out, rains very heavy, sun comes out, rains light, sun comes out, rains heavy again and no more sun--about 6 PM it becomes a steady, annoying rain--stops two hours later, the sky clears and the humidity soars--same pattern for tomorrow but at least the cold is going away!
It being Friday it means movie day--will probably go to see "Deadpool" though there are 2 other movies I want to see "Dough" and Michael Moore's "Where To Invade Next"--of the 3 which would you choose IF you went to the movies?
Been sitting here thinking what to discuss--I have a load of topics:
Wisdom from an old(er) man--like bend your knees when sneezing so your back won't go out of whack and other things like that.
Bars of my youth--I started going to bars when I was 13--never carded--like the Astor Bar in the Astor hotel where the gay crowd stood on the north side and the nongay crowd on the south (and sometimes they met in the restroom:o))
Good to see "Scandal" and "How To Get Away With Murder" back though the latter gets so convoluted sometimes it is hard to follow it. Do you watch either?
Negatives about getting old(er)--having trouble with getting/remembering the right words to use and/or spelling them correctly--like how I have to look up--doing it now!--librarian every time I comment to AJ--always was excellent with words and at spelling.
Yes have to discuss being addicted to the Internet and I don't mean to make money!
Oh, oh--have to put them all aside--have company! :o)

@GreatMartin I loved Scandal in the beginning but for some reason I started to get bored with it and I haven't watched it in about a year.

Sorry it is so rainy right now hope it stops soon and the sun shines on you. I don't know any of those movies you mentioned but I did just watch The Martians on DVD and it was good as they had it at Redbox for rent. Have you seen that one.

I really enjoyed watching it on our big screen TV here at home.

There are loads of topics here. And I like it that way. Always keeping busy when I am here. As for movies, out of the three you mentioned, it all depends on your mood. That is the best way to pick a movie to see. As for writing a post, again, it comes down to what your mood is and also what comes to mind that you find interesting. Don't know if I said anything yet, but I know your birthday is this month. So, Happy Birthday.

I am not one that enjoys spending money to sit in uncomfortable seating to watch a movie while listening to the conversations of others and hearing them crunch on popcorn or slurp a cold drink. LOL. I can do that at home, pause the movie and get up to go to the bathroom too! LOL.

Yes and interrupt the tone and rhythm of the movie. Plus obviously you haven't been to the new movie houses with their plush chairs. A movie is made to be seen on a 70' screen not on a 32" TV!

I thought only young people have trouble remembering about the right words to use!
They are always so busy, and sometimes they are more forgetful about their work than anyone else.
Some of them are so scattered mind that they spend 10 hours doing work that can be done in 4 hours.

It's raking in money breaking records BUT unless you are a teenage boy who giggles at seeing a bare chested woman who likes raunchy words and gratuitous violence it is awful!

I LOVE being old--wouldn't want to be a 'kid' again for anything even knowing what I know now!! The best thing--and there are many--about being old is you don't worry!!

I have yet to watch an episode of How To Get Away With Murder. People are talking about it. I need to find out when it comes one, or watch a clip on YouTube.

And a big Birthday coming up. I have a birthday friend who is looking forward to his day. He's a Leap Baby too. Getting is getting old with me, memory is sliding, very frustrating , but I will keep on keeping on.
