Sure, that makes sense, on the surface. But it hasn't been established as a fact. I might as well say that younger ostriches are more prone to sticking their heads in the ground when they are scared than older, more experienced ostriches. But the fact is that ostriches DON'T stick their heads...

I will once again state that I don't think this has ever been established. Not by the original article in the original post, nor by anecdotal evidence within this thread. Where is the proof that people drink more in retirement?

I watched the original "3:10 to Yuma" last night. It was much better than I expected it would be. I watched the remake a couple of years ago and that one was really good too. John Ford and Van Heflin starred. Van Heflin's character is a cattle rancher short on cash who gets hired as a mercenary...

Oh, yeah, I watched Dial M for Murder about a year ago. That has held up very well over the years. Definitely has the suspense and his usual great camera work. It was Hitchcock's 3D movie and the print is in pretty good shape. (You don't have to watch it in 3D.)

This is a good point. But you too, are starting from a position of question begging. You are not asking, "Is there intelligent life in the universe?" You are already assuming there is, and asking, "Is the other intelligent life in the universe like we are?" You--and most everybody...

Thanks for the post clarifying some issues. I'm a business owner that is in the process of selling my business I started over 35 years ago. I've run across some of these shareholder/stock ownership issues in the past year and a half. I've gone in a different direction than you--I've been buying...

Thread drift? Check.

Are you absolutely sure that you can dispose of the stock by selling to an outsider, another shareholder, or back to the corporation? By this I mean have you checked the corporate by-laws? I'm not understanding this part. Could you elaborate on this statement? What’s the problem? Well, I’m the...

I've never run across people that are evangelists for the idea of space aliens either. I suspect these people are agnostics or even atheists yearning to believe in a higher power, but they won't say that it's God. Safer to profess faith in a nameless alien entity. Most people I run into have...

I'm sorry to hear the Rezum didn't work out for you. Hopefully, TURP will be the ticket for you. This is making me reconsider the Rezum procedure.

I knew there are several remakes. Even though you've seen this remake I'd suggest you watch the original Hitchcock version although now that you know the plot twists it won't have the same impact. Still, I'm sure there would be things in the Hitchcock original that you would appreciate. I doubt...

Doesn't sound too bad, except for the ER scare. Thanks for the update.

"The Lady Vanishes" was very good. Set in 1938 somewhere in Europe (made up country names, but you get the feel that it's in the Hungary-Romania area) the story is about a 20-something playgirl that meets an elderly woman while traveling on a train and then inexplicably the woman can no longer...

I am aware of that thread, have posted to it many times, but I wanted a standalone thread to discuss Vertigo and Alfred Hitchcock movies in general.

I use MS 365 because I want the updates to the software and I need the 1TB storage. We got a family plan which means you can have up to 6 users, meaning you get 6 accounts each with 1 TB of storage, or 6TB total. However, if I didn't need the storage and I didn't care much about the software...

There are a lot of variables. However, since you are accustomed to a certain level of luxury and reliability having owned your Lexus, I would suggest not stepping down from that standard. In other words, this isn't a pure numbers decision. Also, it sounds like whatever car you get you're likely...

Alfred Hitchcock is one of my favorite film directors, if not my favorite of all time. Lately, I've been going back through his work. Starting last weekend with "Strangers on a Train", then "The Lady Vanishes", and last night I watched "Vertigo". I had not seen "Vertigo" for likely 30 years, and...

Thanks so much for telling your story. It's encouraging to me and I'm sure to others that have not yet taken this upcoming step . Nice write up.

Can you get the smilie of the guy with sunglasses playing the electric guitar? It's akin to the size and style of the smilies in the Generic Smilie section (first group of smilies.)

Not an example of inflation, but an example of deflation? I bought a two-pack of three ring binders last year: 4/30/23 Amazon Basics Economy 3 Ring Binder, Showcase View Binder with 3 Inch D-Ring, White, 2-Pack $18.40 I went to purchase the same thing today: 5/1/24 Amazon Basics Economy 3...

+1 on White Collar. Another great show. Premise is the head of the FBI division investigating white collar crimes enlists a famous art thief to help him catch crooks.

I would be hesitant to use a device like that because it looks like a real gun, especially in the dark. You pull that out on an attacker and they might respond with a real gun. You never know. I had a similar non-lethal defensive product that I invested in just before the pandemic, WRAP. The...

There was a 2 hour delay at the Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks game last night at Chase Field in Phoenix. The problem? A fairly large beehive behind home plate built into the top of the protective netting. The Diamondbacks won the game in extra innings 4-3. Coincidentally, the section marker on...

Love, love, love "Burn Notice."
