    The TV thread

    Honestly, I just don't watch all that much new TV anymore. A couple of streaming shows a year and that's really about it. I've been going back and rewatching classic TV shows. Me and my husband watched all of the Bob Newhart Show, MASH, and now we're on The deck Van Dyke Show.

    The Amazing Race -- All-Purpose Thread

    "The bullet sounds like a train." "....it is a train. It's right there in the name: bullet train." Wow how dumb are some of these people? If I had been Ana, I probably would have smacked Jonathan when he called the roadblock that she struggled with "just so simple". Whatever that nail part of...

    The TV thread

    I don't even care. I am here for the beautiful scenery and to be jealous I'm not in Thailand. Also that was apparently a prosthetic dong in last week's episode, not Jason Isaacs' actual package. I was very disappointed. Also anyone have any guesses on who the shooter is? This show loves...

    The Amazing Race -- All-Purpose Thread

    I miss the episodes where the gnome had to come along for the ride. The teams always seemed to have a lot of fun with their gnome buddy.

    The Amazing Race -- All-Purpose Thread

    Man, Scott and Lori being on the final flight to killing it at the Intersection and Detours was unexpected. The sumo wrestling was great, with the teams having to "wrestle" the guy at the end. Also the head sumo guy was a total ham. I loved him. Was anyone else ready for Pops to break into the...

    The Amazing Race -- All-Purpose Thread

    Actually me, tonight: "Ok, the Amazing Race starts this week, better get that pool drawn!" *checks calendar* oh. But it worked out because we have 12 entrants and 2 teams were eliminated last week. Will agree that Jonathan and Ana have already rubbed me the wrong way. (I hate people that run...

    Documentaries

    Watched the Scamanda doc on Hulu. It was also a podcast first, then given a few more little details in the video format (the podcaster is one of the main hosts). Basically: a woman from California fleeced a bunch of people into thinking she had cancer and then they felt bad for her so they gave...

    Preparing for death

    I'm the kid of an aging parent. When mom died last year, Dad's not exactly what we would call a tech person, so I transferred all of his passwords into my password vault so I can get into any of his accounts if I need to, I know who handles what as far as their funds and life stuff. I'm also an...

    Documentaries

    Some documentaries that haven't been mentioned on this thread that I enjoy: - Trainwreck, which is all about Woodstock '99 (I'm now an event planner for work and this is the shirt nightmares are made of) - The Dark Side Of... which is a Vice series. Dark Side of the Ring is fascinating for the...

    Stupid mistakes/ER Visit

    Two years ago, I had a pretty bad kidney infection that after six days of antibiotics during which I felt progressively worse, I finally went to the ER. Two hours in the hospital, a bag of fluids because I was dehydrated (I couldn't keep food or water down for a few days), a CT scan, some...

    Christmas/Holiday Season 2024

    We swap every year. One year, we get them for Thanksgiving, the next year we get them for Christmas. They have an absurdly long holiday break, so when we don't have them for Christmas Day, we get them for New Year's. This is a Christmas year. My dad is coming to visit. My mom passed away in...

    President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

    My soon-to-be step-daughter just turned 17. I had no answers for her this morning.

    President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

    Got up this morning and contemplated whether or not I can get my tubes tied before January. That's much preferable to the idea that any complications in a potential pregnancy and my state would be a-ok with me dying in a parking lot.

    The TV thread

    Finally watched Palm Royale. The show was beautiful but I agree that the first storyline dragged on too long. My god I was so sick of hearing about the Beach Ball before we even got there. But I see on IMDb that it has been renewed for a second season. The very end of the season had me going...
