Hi RG, Marty here, I of course will be listening tomorrow. I just fucking asking, is there way you could have Lynda come on to say hi to all of us, Not all the time of course. I’m sure we all miss her. Just asking. Even if you fucking say now I will always listen to you. Later Brother.
Hey Mark – I just saw the Epic Elvis movie -WOW! -It is beyond fantastic- and I didn’t expect to get so emotional and teary eyed, but I loved Elvis as a young girl because of my Dad who passed away last year- he got a chance to see Elvis here in Portland I believe in 1958 -and I have his old 45s of Jailhouse Rock and Hound Dog -in this movie, Elvis sings Get Back from the Beatles – that movie (on Apple) was playing in the background when my father passed away, so it was just a full circle of life moment- anyways I had to reach out as I hope you and Lynda (also as my Mom spells ha) –
saw this week as you said you were going to- but if you have already, then you know! and if you haven’t, go get your popcorn and let your heart sing! 🥰 🎼
Hi Mark, Haj here. I thought this story might amuse. A friend posted this on FB. An enterprising Florida woman took over some Walmart changing rooms and charged for a singles speed dating mixer. She was very creative in her endeavor.
I’m buried in yet another snowstorm in northwest suburban Boston, visiting my elderly (94 yo) parents. The natives here are sick of winter. I hope you’re staying warm in NC or LA, wherever you are.

FLORIDA WOMAN ARRESTED AFTER ALLEGEDLY CONVERTING WALMART’S FITTING ROOM INTO A “SINGLES MIXER” AND CHARGING $5 ADMISSIONJACKSONVILLE — Walmart shoppers attempting to try on jeans found a speed dating event instead.Police say a Florida woman was arrested after allegedly converting three fitting rooms into what she called “Love Stalls” and began charging a $5 entry fee for what she described as “Walmart’s first official singles mixer.”Witnesses say she had taped handwritten name tags to the fitting room mirrors, placed a bowl of mints on the bench, and hung a sign outside that read: “TIRED OF SELF-CHECKOUT? TRY HUMAN CONNECTION. $5.”At least eight customers reportedly paid.”She had a system,” one participant told officers. “Two minutes per stall, then you rotate. She rang a little bell she got from housewares.”Employees discovered the operation after a fitting room attendant noticed a line of people who were not holding clothes.Store management confronted the woman after a customer asked an associate, “Is the mixer BOGO this week?”When officers arrived, she was allegedly mid-rotation and asked if they could “wait until round three finishes.”She was charged with trespassing and unauthorized commercial activity.The bell was confiscated. The mints were returned to the candy aisle. The name tags were entered into evidence.One read: “Kevin. Looking for someone who understands coupons.”Walmart has since posted a sign reading “Fitting rooms are for clothing only.”Florida continues to find love in unauthorized places
