Oh my yes. 8 digits nowadays. Great hours? How about working 4 days a month? Occupation: game show host. Or hostess. Pat Sajak just "didn't* celebrate 40 years as host of Wheel of Fortune...and some fans were upset that the show made no mention of it. Some people, methinks, need a life. Vanna White...39 years. Annual salaries listed...Sajak, $15M. White, $10M. Reported net worths in the $70M range for each. Probably celebrates every time he checks his bank statement....

Lord Liaden Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Now, don't get me wrong, I believe that, considering reality, this is a beneficial and enlightened policy. But I can't help thinking that making it easier for young women to have sex is a very French thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL legend John Madden dies at 85 I remember polaying the very first edition of "John Madden Football. I(t was originally a coaching simulator where you call the plays while the best graphics available in 1992 displays the play results. Most games of the time, and many that persist to this day, forwent the graphical display in favor of text descriptions, which is my personal preference, but I must confess to spending hours playing Earl Weaver Baseball on my first computer. I don't know that John Madden himself ever played the game, or any other sports game. He was immersed in real football his entire adult life.

Cancer Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Yup, that was announced a few months ago. On one hand, I no longer pay for that journal access. On the other hand, my society dues went up by slightly less than I used to pay for the journal access. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
