Once my younger brother was home into the latter evening yesterday, I put our Android TV Box to use and thereby we were to watch an episode of Riverdale, and then the 1960 black & white 58-minute movie Marriage of Convenience.
A far better description of the movie is offered at the blog Classic Movie Ramblings, provided that the Blogspot / Blogger blog remains online.
I always enjoy the atmosphere and lingo of these old features, as well as getting to appraise what were surely considered to be 'good-lookers' among the supporting actresses.
One actress with a very bit role ─ she played a dancer in tights or a body-stocking who was briefly interviewed by the shrewd detective in the film ─ struck me as being extremely cute, and she had that sort of baby-girl voice that a lot of men (including me) very much like. Not quite Betty Boop, but not far behind.
I wondered if she ever 'went anywhere' where her career choices were concerned.
Doing some research just now, I believe that she was Pauline Shepherd, apparently born on September 19, 1938. She was fairly new to acting, having tried her hand first at being a songstress ─ provided the YouTube video remains when you try the link, you can hear a short sample of her voice here: Pauline Shepherd Love Me To Pieces 1957.
Her voice sounds less 'girly' in this YouTube song: Pauline Shepherd - No Not Much.
She is still alive today, and is currently 83 years old, with her next birthday coming in September.
I hate what time does to us.
Anyway, my brother and I finished off our evening of T.V. with an episode of The Conners.
By the time both my brother and I had gone to our beds, my wife was still not home following her long day of work at the Thai restaurant where she has part-time employment. Fortunately for her, she had today off work.
When I got together with my brother mid-morning today to again watch some T.V., we were done for the morning and still my wife had not risen.
The T.V. fare was considerably different from our evening fare. I led us off with a BitChute documentary on a topic I had not heard of until my older half-sister mentioned it in a text a week or so ago ─ i.e., Project Blue Beam.
The video was nearly 1¼ hours (1:13:51) in length. I won't link to any specific BitChute source, but if you are curious about the topic, you can find video sources in this BitChute search that I made ─ provided that the BitChute link remains valid, of course.
I must say that I found the documentary to be extremely poorly crafted, and it seemed to end abruptly as if it was excerpted from a far longer production. And I absolutely detest listening to artificial or synthetic speech reproduction ─ had I known beforehand that maybe a third of the video involved that sort of irritating narration, I would have looked for something else to watch.
Anyone deeply enough interested might get something from a 69-or-so-page document titled Project Blue Beam False Flag presently available at this Google Docs location, or at this Internet Archive link.
My brother and I were also to watch an hour and 13-minute (1:13:56) June 13 upload to Rumble by Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson: Live with Todd Harris and Dr. Charles Hoffe.
Live with Todd Harris and Dr. Charles Hoffe who will be talking about a new vaccine documentary that they have produced.Also included in that video panel was Dr. Chris Shaw. The upcoming documentary being discussed is titled Uninformed Consent, and it is supposed to be available sometime next month.

My brother sought some bed rest before it was quite 12:30 p.m., and although I also sought a nap, I failed ─ I could not relax sufficiently. And so I got right back up just in time to find that my wife had finally risen.
She was very curious about the exchange I had with someone at CFIA yesterday concerning her 'lost' DHL shipment from Thailand ─ the shipment has been in Canadian government hands since April 14.
A "Specialist Inspector" at CFIA had phoned me to get information concerning the contents of one of the products in that shipment, so I did a thorough research on the product and E-mailed the female CFIA inspector at 4:04 p.m. yesterday what ought to have been all the information that could possibly be needed:
It was so good to finally hear from someone about my wife's shipment! CBSA apparently first got possession of the very large box on April 14, so it has now been 'lost' for two full months! We were convinced that it had been damaged through incompetence or negligence, and then its contents simply discarded or maybe even pillaged ─ the imagination runs wild.
I hope you won't have gone for the day by the time I send this ─ when I was a Compensation Advisor in the HR branch at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada right next door to you guys, I had a super-compressed shift that started at 6 a.m. and allowed me to work just four days a week.
Anyway, I have not yet spoken with my wife (she works part-time at a Thai restaurant in *******), but I located the product at the Thai company (The iCon Group) website ─ you can see it translated into English here, provided that the Google Translate link works for you: Boom DNAx. I noticed the claim there in which it is stated that all ingredients have "Passed the inspection from the [Thailand] Food and Drug Administration", for whatever that may be worth.
If the English translation link is faulty, then this is the original ─ you can have Google Translate work its magic for you directly.
But from what I can tell, apart from the 10 common ingredients that I can barely make out on the product's label (Ascorbic Acid; Nicotinamide; Calcium D-Pantothenate; Vitamin A Acetate; Pyridoxine Hydrochloride; Thiamine Mononitrate; Riboflavin; Biotin; Folic Acid; and Cyanocobalamin or vitamin B12), it also contains an Astragalus extract and Grapevine extract.
The Grapevine extract is essentially resveratrol. This all-Thai Boom DNAx YouTube video mentions the resveratrol in English print at roughly the 59-second mark of the very short (less than 1½ minutes) video, and right after it mentions Astragalus.
So a box of 20 of the one-a-day effervescent tablets ─ each to be dissolved in some water ─ would obviously only last a person for 20 days.
I can still have my wife speak with you, but she only came to Canada in 2006, and has no technical English ─ she would have no idea how to discuss astragalus or resveratrol, nor even know those English words.
Nevertheless, if you want to give her a go, I will have her phone you tomorrow ─ she doesn't usually have Wednesdays as one of her work days. Her conversational English is good ─ she just wouldn't be able to be very helpful once you started trying to discuss specific ingredients. I don't think that she even knows what the various vitamins are by their English names.
Let me know.
And again, it is fantastic hearing from you ─ I honestly thought that the package was a lost cause!
Yet this morning at 10:58 a.m. I got this reply:
Thank you for providing the information on the Boom D-NAX product from shipment by DHL (CCN A1X-**********).
Could you please confirm Boom D-NAX is not a drink as claimed on the invoice but are pills in tablet form?
Could you also please verify and confirm the list of the ingredients below is accurate and reflective of the Boom D-NAX product?
Astragalus Extract, Resveratrol, Biotin, Vitamin A, Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), Vitamin B12, Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid), Vitamin B6, Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid), Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid).
Thank you
So at 12:43 p.m. today, I responded with this:
Yes, **** ─ the product as packaged is comprised of 20 effervescent tablets, one of which is recommended to be taken ─ that is, one per day ─ dissolved in an easily drinkable small amount of water. I expect that it would be downed much as one would down something like the heartburn product ENO, if that stuff is still on the market.
As for each tablet's contents, as far as I am aware, your listing is comprehensive ─ I do not know of anything 'extra' that might possibly be present.
So basically, it's nothing more than a predominantly vitamin B complex tablet with the addition of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), astragalus extract, and resveratrol ─ nothing that is not commonly available on the shelves of the nutritional supplements sections of places like Save-On-Foods, Real Canadian Superstore, Shoppers Drug Mart, and so forth.
Why was this second response from me necessary? It was all mentioned in my first E-mail.
And everything that I sent yesterday was information that I managed to research on my own that afternoon. I do not understand Thai either. Yet the government has had the shipment for over two months, and in that time no one was able to do what I managed to do yesterday afternoon?
Despite how highly these Inspectors are paid?
They had better release the damned shipment to us bloody soon, for this has gone beyond being unconscionable!
And here is something rather peculiar: My wife maintains that she didn't even order any Boom D-Nax! The shipment was only supposed to contain three other products.
I shall say nothing further today concerning this, and just wait and see what befalls next.
My wife left mid-afternoon, so I have been merrily blogging away. There were some sunny breaks during the morning, but the afternoon is solidly overcast ─ I may even have heard some rain.
When in blazes am I going to be able to do some full sunning again?
