Addiction is separate from circumstances.

Look at Heath Ledger, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, etc etc etc.

Heath was young, successful, dating a billionaire, and had everything in the world at his fingertips. He decided to have a one man party with drugs and alcohol.

Think about it this way. In 1960, minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the average home was $11,000.00 In 1968, when Richard Nixon took office, 'middle class' meant one Union job supporting a family of four. By the time Bush Sr. left office in 1992 "middle class" was two college jobs to support the household.

I'm hearing good things about 'Agatha...' and 'The Thunderbolts' looks interesting.

We'll see.

Six foot nine inch tall model. First one up in 'tallest model.' Also plenty of WNBA and WWE athletes out there.

I was hoping that the producers of 'She Hulk' would go the other way and hire a body double instead of using CGI.

There are six self tests in the book. Things like math, mechanical problems, leadership, etc.

A product demonstrator, a nurse, and a hair stylist all need good dexterity and good people skills. Three totally different jobs with similar skill sets.

"Discover What You're Best At" by Linda Gail.

I found this book when I was out of work due to an injury. You can do the self tests in half a day, and the jobs they suggest go from entry level to college graduate. When you can get up on a rainy Monday morning and feel okay about going to work you've solved most of life's problems.

No one thought Heath Ledger was a good choice to play the Joker.

No one thought Robert Downey Jr. could be a superhero.

Heck, Vivian Leigh wasn't even American, let alone from the South...

I'm pretty sure the 'free range kids' movement is defunct.

Many believe that they are "essential" and that no private company could do their work.

I've met some MAGoo Civil Servants.
