- That is a shame, I liked what little I saw of her videos. -- nm - crash davis 😺 May 28, 06:43
- Wondering if this is tied to the public outcry of umpire criticism. Suddenly MLB feels the need to lockdown anyone critical of umpires. -- nm* - budice May 28, 06:40 2

      - I don't as there are exceptions to the law and two are criticism and comment. Both of which are the basis for her use of the - Krusty May 28, 07:36

      - Darn right take that money. I become eligible for employer match after 2 years. I signed up the day after. - Masked Baron May 28, 06:01
      - Correct. Also as I noted at the time, it doesn’t take into account the ability of a plan to offer Roth-designated contributions -- (edited) - znufrii May 28, 04:19

Lots of people making fun of the new JLo movie ... but they don't say half as much about a dozen male actors who ply the same waters of dreck. - Beryllium May 27, 22:46 8
- My friend told me it was acceptable as a terrible action movie. We need all kinds... -- nm - amandaphone May 28, 05:34
- It was pretty bad and she way over acted in it. Her last Netflix movie was much better. Having said that the explosions were nice - decline May 28, 05:30
