  2. Ms. Taglia,

    You are absolutely gorgeous. But Erica Arias is number 1. But I watch 8 because of the arrogant Matt Scott. See you Monday morning if it’s God’s willing. Be safe!

  3. Hey Alyssa,

    I’ve written to u b4 but I’ve just gotten my first shot for covid. How will the transaction from masks to no masks transpire once I have my second shot? I have not seen anybody addressing this issue.
