I really want to like Curb, but I just find Larry's character more irritating than funny. I always like Larry David in interviews, but the show just annoys me. Loved Seinfeld, though, and even like Costanza. Loved it for a few seasons but stopped watching a few years ago. Friend recommended the new...

I was in Seattle for that.

It was LOUD! I was at least 10 miles away, watching on TV, and I was amazed how loud it was.

Mark Blum, Star of ‘Desperately Seeking Susan’ and ‘You,’ Dies at 69 Due to Coronavirus Complications

Glad to hear I'm not the only one having those thoughts. Mine were triggered by the long conversation about how we will deal with Kelsey, in case she gets sick...My GF and her are probably the most likely vectors for getting exposed.

Not that I'm afraid of dying...just worried about my girls.

DaveInSeattle

So....serious question time: Is anyone else concerned about, ya know, dying from this? Because I got that thought last night.

My GF yesterday found out that the husband of one of the patients she scanned last week (twin fetal echo...so about a 2 hour long ultrasound) has tested positive and is under self-isolation. Patient didn't say a thing about it to anyone.

Have you watched 'The Dawn Wall' about Tommy Caldwell? I thought it was the better movie (and I really enjoyed Free Solo).
