[quote]How does money solve this?[/quote] Royalties. There are generations of black families that have lost out on significant amounts of money because a family member in the past was taken advantage of at one time or another. Imagine if one of your grandparents wrote a bunch of songs that ...

[quote]as Covid is winding down there's a ton of pent up demand[/quote] I think that's probably the biggest reason. Everyone wants to go on vacation right now. You can usually find options up to a few weeks out, but there's virtually nothing left now. We had plans with two other families tha...
[quote]I was a big Andrew Bird fan back in the day, but this is very different from what you normally hear from him. I've only listened to a couple of songs so far but am liking what I'm hearing.[/quote] That song sounds a lot like what he did on Hands of Glory. Such a good album. The cover of ...

[quote]Its about a mile hike up to the mountain and there is also other hiking trails and you can also camp there if thats your thing.[/quote] I wouldn't camp there. They have camping space and yurts, but they're all kind of crammed together next to the lake. The hike up isn't bad, but there ...

There are some great houses on Lake Blue Ridge and Nottely in N Ga. If it's in the summer, these are somewhat in the mountains, so you might get some heat relief. Lots of spots on air bnb and vrbo. Not sure if it's too far east, but from Lake Jocasse down to Keowee and down Hartwell in SC ha...

I'm headed to Zion/Bryce on a guys trip at the end of October that was postponed from last May and those pics got me pretty excited. I also have two boys - 8 and 4 - and we're going to start taking them to at least one national park a year starting next year. Very excited about that....

re: Rumor has it Emma Watson has "retired."

[quote]She will be retired until she's not..... Sounds like a publicity stunt or she realizes she can't lead a flick and doesn't want to do ensemble work being a cog in the wheel. [/quote] Her estimated net worth is ~$80mm and she will continue raking in dough from things like Harry Potter,...

[quote]If you want a somewhat satisfying ending...stop after S8E3. But with only 3 episodes after that, you might as well follow through and finish.[/quote] That'd be like running a marathon and stopping at mile 25 because you knew the last 1.2 miles was not going to be fun. Just finish the da...

[quote]I think the last season is a completely different experience to someone who knows nothing about GOT going in and just binges it blindly. Millions of viewers had read the books and were doing Sunday night watch parties with their friends for several years. The ending was going to be letdown...

[quote]I like Succession but the profanity and crudeness is over the top. It's like WOWS x1000. It takes a lot for me to even notice that stuff, much less find it distracting.[/quote] I agree to an extent. It's not necessarily the profanity, but Roman is just over the top. If they toned him dow...

Agreed with those that say to watch the whole thing. When it was on, I watched the first 5 seasons, then they had that long break before season 6, so I watched the first 5 again, then 6, 7 and 8. I'm doing it again, but reading each book and then going back and watching the corresponding seaso...
