Life and Beth IMDB Review

 Amy Schumer is funny. For a female she can be be rude, crude 

, nude (not really unless you give her credit for exposed feelings) and lewd. Yes, she can shock you with her raw brand of real woman humor. But Beth reveals a deeper level of talent, sensitivity and intelligence. Beth reveals the struggles of the deeply human female character in all its complexity. Does he stick with Mr Popular in a steady spaghetti job or does she risk it to find herself, her mother and her sister and possibly a deeper love by following, even as she quotes, the road less traveled.

Life and Beth is a beautiful journey that doesn’t over try to be. It just is. Like her love interest, experiencing life through the lens of Asperger’s, it’s honest. Sometimes blunt by social navigation standards, but just honest and that is a worthwhile viewing experience.

Trailside Brewing at Lenox Station on the Ecusta Trail Google Review

 


Fantastic!!! 😊👍😋
What a great opening night! The super large parking lot was filled to capacity and this was before 6 pm on their first Saturday night. There were lines at the Wings Food Truck and all tables and benches inside and out, were filled to capacity. With Big Puppies, Little Kids and a very Family Friendly Environment, Trailside Brewing Company is sure to be a main attraction on the still yet to be finished, Ecusta Trail. The acoustic, melodic harmonies of singer, Izzi Hughes enhanced the ambiance of a perfect evening venue with classic songs spanning generations from Tom Petty  to the Boxtops  https://izzihughes.com  

Welcome to the neighborhood 😊

 I invested in Tesla several years ago. Tesla was my first image of my dream car as an adult. The cost of the Tesla, 100k was far and above what I considered reasonable let alone obtainable yet I told myself that if I made enough money in teslas stock that I would buy one with it.

At some point Elon started becoming somewhat wacko in the media. He would say outrageous things that affected the stock price and said that he was going to develop. Flame Thrower. It was about that time that I sold my Tesla stock. I made a profit but not nearly enough to buy a Tesla. Meanwhile he seemed to become more and more outrageous where he threatened to buy Twitter specifically to facilitate Trump in what he called Absolute Free Speech. He compounded that when he started making antisemitic rants. I disavowed myself completely from Musk and said I wouldn’t buy a Tesla if he drove it up my door and delivered it in person. Then I stumbled on this interview on YouTube.
My opinion now has somewhat softened. Not that would accept or condone antisemitism or antisocial hatred or violent behavior but I’m more inclined to be sympathetic with the struggles of Elon Musk the human being who, as with Monk, carries the burden of his genius with the additional burden of social ineptitude.

Growing up, “the social cues were not intuitive,” Musk said when asked about it on stage at the TED2022 conference in Vancouver, Canada.

  • “I would just tend to take things very literally … but then that turned out to be wrong — [people were not] simply saying exactly what they mean, there's all sorts of other things that are meant, and [it] took me a while to figure that out,” he recalled.

Flashback: Musk widely revealed having Asperger’s last year when he hosted “Saturday Night Live.”

  • In his opening monologue, Musk said: "To anyone who I’ve offended [with my Twitter posts], I just want to say I reinvented electric cars, and I'm sending people to Mars in a rocket ship. Did you think I was also going to be a chill, normal dude?"


 Hey John and Karel

We’re thinking of you everyday and all the Peace, Love, Happiness and Joy you bring into our world everyday. Your love of music  and love of life that you bring to everyone around you is so very special and meaningful to everyone you touch. You brought love and joy into our lives through the simple act of saying hello when we were strangers and made our move to Hendersonville the best thing in our lives. You offered friendship in the loneliest hours when we needed you most and you’ve been the light in our darkest moments when laughter and light were furthest from our mind. There is no greater gift than friendship and we are so very thankful for yours.


Pete and Tess
