  1. Thank you for the review. Halloween is so close! “Good Boy” seems to be the best because of the dog and of course, because no harm done to the dog! 😊

  2. Sounds like these were a bunch of misses. Though I do note that The Long Walk has an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which shows that you can’t really always trust the critics.

  3. When will dark matter return? I will soon die of old age.

  4. Better luck next time!

    Happy Sharky Sunday 👋🏻
