I am OK with this BUT someone needs to find out WHY live ammunition was on a movie set.

I feel pretty confident (like him or not) that Alec B. did not intend to shoot (with real bullets) anyone.
I have been on 100's of sets, and never was there any live rounds anywhere near any of those sets!.
The guns are checked by professionals and the actors are given training and safety lessons, before they use weapons on the set. One of those lessons are you never point a gun at anyone behind camera, or anyone else until a safety meeting is completed and a rehearsal is done.
Alec Baldwin has handled a lot of weapons over his career, he knew better than that!
This infuriates me to no end, the show producers failed big time!

Did you avail yourself of the opportunity?

I used to nick a bit here and there from the ounce bags Bob kept hidden.

I guess I'll never run for office.

PS We had eight unruly kids.

No, I never did. Wasn't much of a weed guy. Made me paranoid.

I want to know why there was this time. Makes no sense. Someone f***ed up big time....but why?

Man what a great age we live in. Just put up ‘wireless’ sconces for the Bride.
Work with a little remote. Rechargeable LED bulbs.

Piece of cake.

Well done Chuck!
Saw your kitchen pics on FB. Wow! Nice job.
Thank you sir. I think i fell into a similar boat as you: i didn’t pick the cabinets. Although, I did do some convincing of my better half to not look at the numbers, and wouldn’t ya know it, she already forgot about the added cost!

I LOVE that flooring
Thanks! It was cheap too lol my favorite part. We wanted a much deeper and glossier black, but all of those were polished and stupid expensive. This should be much less slippery. I don’t need anybody cracking their dome off the tub

#MeToo.

I had my first joint in the eighth grade. By sophomore year in high school, that was it for me.

I'm paranoid enough. I don't need encouragement.

The very few times I've imbibed since -- one or two hits -- I have regretted it. Major Major.

I'll take booze,

M.

I like radishes . I wash them and eat them!

Growing up we had many raspberries. Some we picked all summer, but another kind (bigger) grew early Fall. We had many blueberries too.

I didn't pick them, but growing up in Michigan with farmers for relatives and a grandmother well familiar with the process, blueberries, raspberries (a favorite, along with blackberries), apples, strawberries, etc.

My mom used to pick 'em as part of the family production line. She probably made five cents a bushel.

Corn on the cob come late summer/early fall.

An innocent time. A time I miss.

Alec Baldwin case dismissed.
Absolute bonkers today. My mid is blown at what happened. I cannot believe the prosecution withheld evidence from Baldwin’s team and one of the prosecutors quit in the middle of it all.

I nearly knocked over my tea when shit hit the fan this afternoon. It was wild to see in real time.

The armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed was convicted back in March of involuntary manslaughter. She was responsible for the guns and ammo on set and her carelessness led to live rounds being on set and in the guns Baldwin and Jensen Ackles had.

It’s insane that Seth Kinney, who supplied the props and ammo was never charged.

The judge would not let the prosecution bring up that Baldwin was an executive producer in addition to the lead actor. It doomed the prosecution from the start and then the circus started and then today was just mind blowing.

The right person was put in jail for 18 months for her dereliction of duty that led to Heleyna Hutchins death and Joel Souza to have a bullet lodged in his shoulder.

As a big wrestling fan, I’ll be at Wrestlemania 41 next year in Vegas.

I’ve been to Wrestlemania 30 & 33 so far.

Even if you’re not a wrestling fan, it’s soooooo much fun.
