    Now that was a great scene. Love the way he walked on the beach shoulders back and head up while all the soldiers were ducking for cover with the bombs going off around him. Great movie. When I set up one of my first home theaters or upgrade anything it was my go to movie to test out the sound system.

    Damn, that's tough.

    I'm concerned because my Son and his family live in a city that has been hit very hard. As parents we always try our best to shield our children from harm, but this virus just makes me feel so helpless.


    Best wishes, Hoop.

    When I first went to work for the company I was at for 27 years I was a chemical driver and we used rubber gloves to protect our hands but they would sweat inside and cause a rash to break out and really dry the skin. My dad was an automotive mechanic and he suffered from dry skin as well with all the parts washing in solvent to clean parts and he turned me on to cornhuskers lotion. Worked great as I stayed away from any perfumed type lotions to prevent possible interactions.

    Im not open to it because of what that guy says.
    I, most people would be under doctors care and they always check meds and other potential side effects. I agree that being very cautious is important but if I was heading towards a ventilator and doc said there have been positive results, at my age, I'd probably roll the dice. The FDA has approved it for several conditions.
    I would never listen to any President with Blind Faith, especially this one.

    I have been using this Dr. Teals lavender lotion it's worked fairly well for me. Not sure I've ever heard of Cornhuskers lotion.

    Glad to hear it worked out for you and you are still cancer free. My mom had lung cancer and the plan was to have surgery and remove part of her lung to remove the cancer, but once they got in they found a growth on her esophougas which was inoperable so they elected not to go any further as removing the part of the lung would make her weaker and still have the cancer inside. They then went to radiation and some chemo treatment that gave her another 5 years. Keep up the good fight.

    Cornhuskers is good...O'Keeffe's Working Hands works the best for me.

    Mine had not metastasized so it made since to cut the prostate out, they can leave all the nerves alone too. If a guy's going to get cancer Prostate is the one to get because if caught early it can be treated.

    I know so many Portland Musicians I kept hoping to see a few of them. Gonna have to tell them they aren't part of the cool kid's group, that's gonna be a tough discussion. :)

    Seriously though that's a very cool video.

    The ability that Trump has to make EVERYTHING political is amazing to me. It's almost as amazing to me as the way that the Dems jump at every little laser pointer light that he flashes their way. This malarial drug is being seen as either a "You believe in this crap just because Trump mentioned it, so you're a Trumpanzee", or "You won't even consider it as a viable treatment because Trump mentioned it, so you're a Libtard". Crazy.

    LOL, BTW.

    India banning exports of the drug and the doctor in CA that @EL PRESIDENTE linked the interview with are enough to know who is right between those two extremes.

    I'm fine with leftists CNN watchers avoiding this drug and I'm fine if Fox viewers drink fish tank cleaner (I don't know if the people who did watch Fox)

    That helps people with Lupus and RA get their medication because they need it now and leaves enough for medical professionals to take and leave enough for people that go to the hospital for the virus.

    I guess that woman who fed her husband the fish tank cleaner wasn't exactly a Trump supporter, but I think her husband was.....

    Over in France they did an online rendition of Ravel's Bolero. For those who aren't old enough or never saw the movie, Bolero was the song that Bo Derek in the movie 10 liked to have sex to at the end with Dudley Moore.
