I'll bring it up with shaxper to see if anything has changed with the site, or if this is just a result of a browser update(I just updated mine the other day) with a greater focus on security. I brought this up with proboards several weeks back and was told the following:

How about Umar, sister of Dormammu? Deliciously evil and more suited for Madonna's persona? Annie Lennox

My Left Ear is about 50% restored meaning that I can wear Hearing Aid only for going out to Restaurants and talking to people in an one-on-one situations. I'll be seeing specialists in the upcoming 4 weeks off and on to see which is the best way to handle this. So, wearing a hearing aid in my left ear -- will be handled like a person needs a reading glasses to see and this only applies to my hearing in my left ear. I just got back from an extensive testing(s) and got some hearing back about 50% and that better than none at all.
I'm quite happy about this great news that I got today.

This is wonderful news, mecha! Didn't realize you were undergoing treatment of some kind. What did it, my friend? It's was determined by accident that I was hearing some very faint noises and couldn't hear my brother speaking to me like it was in an very noisy environment. So, the next day -- I did a test on it and discovered that I had some hearing left. So, I had to wait for a while and got an initial testing on it and discovered that I had some hearing and they realize that I had 50 percent -- the 50 percent part is on the low end of the hearing spectrum that only good for communicating on an one on one, small groups, and going out to restaurants. With in mind, I was very excited about it -- and it's took about a year of not wearing hearing aid on that ear and taking care of myself and not being subject to loud noises kind of did the trick. They discovered that my left eardrum is on the mend and I might get another 10-15 percent more hearing in about another 6 months down the road. I was shocked to learned this ... looking forward the end results of all this.

Since Iron Man 2 is available on Netflix, I’m giving it another chance.
I had never watched it since it came out, and clearly I had no idea who Elon Musk was back then! That’s quite an appropriate cameo.

That’s quite an appropriate cameo. I like it. But Mickey Rooney (Mickey Rourke rather. I’ll lesve my mistake posted so y’all can get a laugh today imagining Mickey Rooney in that role. You’re welcome) usually entertains me. Plus I was fresh off seeing him play Marv in Sin City. If anything Rodey changing actors was the “down” part of the film. Not saying Chedale isn’t a great actor by any means. He just wasn’t Rodey from the first film. Which that actor played well. Yeah well I didn’t know who Donald Trump was in Home Alone 2. And Elon Musk sounds like a cologne rather than a man.

I have mixed feelings on H. P. Lovecraft and his stories. On one hand, his grasp of the written word is sublime and he's a master at creating otherworldly entities and environs. On the other, his philosophy is 110% at odds with my own and his racism is particularly ugly even for a man of his time.

I didn’t notice Lovecraft’s racism in his stories, at least not beyond what could be expected for an Anglo-Saxon in the 20s... Same thing with Robert Howard. But their letters? Ugh! Better to separate the work from the creators, methinks, as I do with Wagner!
