    What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

    Yes, I have seen the original Dr. Strange. I agree with you that the multiverse thing is getting a bit carried away. They are still throwing a good movie here and there, though. "Shang Chi and the 10 rings" was pretty good and I am looking forward to the new fantastic four movie , as well. The...

    Dollar Tree (or a Dollar Store near you)

    We have a family dollar which as pretty much the closest store near our house. We primarily pick up soda there as they often have a '4 for 2' sale on pepsi product 2 liters.

    Who's the most famous person you've ever met?

    I met Weird Al Yankovic briefly when I was working a security job years ago. I also, unfortunately met Ron Jeremy when doing the same. Did not turn out that he was too great of a guy if youve seen the news the last few years.

    Hi. I was given this link by a member. They said this was good for their mental health

    I am sorry that you do not understand people with schizophrenia. I have gone through episodes when I reached my 40's where I believed things that were fantastical, but really, when I am medicated, and through most my life prior to that, I have been a fairly normal person. With some quirks, but...
