  1. Past hour
  2. I think when Theresa was talking about money during the FS date, Gerry immediately went "cha-ching." He was looking for a purse not realizing the purse is not willing to give her up job for him to spend all her money. I wonder if when they were looking to get pre-approved when looking at a house in Charleston, she found out he exaggerated how much money he had; the same way he was called a restauranteer rather than he used to own a burger joint.
  3. I watched this episode yesterday. I do wonder how they picked the people. They all had a mystery about a grandparent but nothing sooner. My guess is there were people that had questions regarding their own parents, but weren't picked due to the controversy of the person still likely being alive. Then a lot like me (I didn't apply but wish I did). But honestly, there isn't a specific mystery there, just some questions that have been passed down over the years. But I guess we'll never know. Anyhow, I enjoyed it. I did wish they spend a bit more time on each one's families but I guess their goal was to answer their question and that's it. I didn't get the impression that he was less interested or bored with them. Obviously they had the change their intros as they weren't celebrities, so that's was cool.
  4. Wow. I had no idea. Thanks for informing me.

Queenie is from a Jamaican family, striving to achieve in a predominantly white workplace. She is constantly playing catch up with her emotions and the situations she finds herself in due to a hard-wired habit of self-sabotaging, which she is mostly unaware of.

  7. I'm thinking it will probably be tied up in the last two episodes. Johns Hopkins is in Baltimore, MD. It would make sense now that MaxDot has been sold that they are free to move there.
  8. If this picture had a smell it would be cigarettes, alcohol and desperation. 🤢
  9. This was easily my favorite episode this season. We learned so much. We learned it was Ralph that was sucked up and Stephanie was left behind. We learned that ghosts cannot Facetime. We learned there is a Puritan ghost wandering around in the dirt because Isaac covered his mouth when he sneezed. Finally, we learned how Hetty died. Before this episode, I always figured she died from a drug overdose, cocaine, or morphine. But I never thought she used a telephone cord. It did come in handy to help save Flower, but that was rough to see. Especially when she said she did it to help her son, and her son ended up murdering Alberta. This is the episode they need to submit to the Emmys for writing. It was funny, it was sad. Rebecca Wisocky was wonderful. It helped to understand why Hetty seemed so uptight (besides the time period she lived in). And yes, I am happy to see Flower again. Our Ghosts are back together.
  10. Tires is a 6 episode workplace comedy with all episodes streaming on May 23, 2024 on Netflix. Steven Gerben as Will, the anxious owner of the Valley Forge Automotive Centers, a failing chain of automotive repair shops that he inherited from his father, which he is unqualified to run. Shane Gillis as Shane Gillis, Will's cousin, employee and bane of Will's existence/ Chris O’Connor Kilah Fox Stavros Halkias Andrew Schulz
  11. Remember the basement ghost's random line about the knocking water heater? I kept thinking it was Flower's way out. But what if it's the Puritan ghost? After all, an unknown ghost wasn't needed in the story about how they figured out how to free themselves, and they said they walked through the soil into the basement DUN Dun dun! Sorry, I just can't stop thinking about the poor woman lost in the dark. Flower couldn't stand it for three seconds and it's been centuries for the Puritan.
  12. Yes this site has been terrible for months! Especially on the iPhone but it’s not great on the iPad either. Instead of all the policing going on so as not to God forbid, get any widdle baby under 30’s feewings hurt by someone saying the wrong thing or even word, , they should concentrate on the way this site is not working.
  13. Thankfully, that term seems as current as Moon Unit Zappa (at least in my neck of the woods) so it's been awhile since I've been saturated with it. However, as long as we're talking annoying slang, I'm tired of ' best/worst [whatever] EVER' and 'G.O.A.T'. In the former case, the speaker seems to have no concept of 'ever' and using it as a superlative instead of just saying 'best/worst I've experienced so far' somewhat dilutes the whole meaning of 'ever' as an infinite measure of time. Speaking of time, I know that 'G.O.A.T' means 'greatest of all time' but, again, it's rather pointless to make that assertion unless one has complete knowledge all all prior AND future feats in said venue. Besides, that only the first of the four word term 'greatest' has more than one syllable so saying 'G.O.A.T' barely shortens the slang from the original term. ..and just pronouncing the acronym as 'goat' would be a rather cheesy deal instead of a successful ramming of a superlative.
  14. I said the same thing. The lemon piece was a garnish, it had nothing to do with the taste of the dish. I’m not rooting for anyone in particular but it’s obvious they are manipulating who they want in the finale.
  15. Screw all those fancy cleaners that don’t work. For years, I still my old faithfuls .. s*** n Span, 409, Ajax and Clorox. That’s it. The others were bullshit. Oh, I love Fabuloso after I’ve cleaned the bowl. The purple one makes the bathroom smell nice.
  16. I never liked Jerry, he was far too "sweet" for me. However, I don't think we know enough about the marriage to say it was all his fault. If he prefers to travel, go to nice restaurants, and play pickle ball, rather than continue the rest of his life doing a nine to five job or waiting for someone else who's doing that, then he's like most people his age. Most over seventies are either retired or wishing they were.
  17. As usual I only got through half the episode so far. Emilys immature behavior during her segment with Brennan made her look dishonest and unable to handle a relationship. He may not have been a great guy but he kept his composure and even apologized to her later. She of course didn’t believe him. I do agree with him that she’s negative. I also think she’s delusional. I started to doubt Cams illness for the first time during this episode. Stress induced at his age? I know it’s possible but he never appeared that stressed to me.
  18. Wow, another loser. And big mouth had to publicly sing his praises so soon. Just keep quiet for a while until you can see he is legit.
  19. And in previous seasons, even the Covid one, you got to know the performers as individuals, even without them living together and doing those fake excited interactions. Now they are just a blur as people so I don’t really care about any of them including pet and probably prepicked winner Easton
  20. If the show somehow manages to keep up the intensity of these first couple episodes, this'll be a bumpy ride. I like it a lot. Riley Keough (The Girlfriend Project) seldom disappoints. Even in mediocrity like Daisy Jones and the Six she manages to rise above the material. You ever wonder why all kinds of bad shit happens beside running water? Rivers, especially? There must be some primal, anthropological reason. This series reminds of River's Edge with Keanu Reeves and Creepy Crispin Glover.
  21. West is barking up a difficult tree. Ciara just isn’t going to have time for him. He is just a toy for her and I don’t mean that to be insulting to her. Probably would be better for him to focus on getting a job again. The writing is on the wall for Carl and Lins. She isn’t ready for marriage. Not one bit. Substance abuse recovery is a long process. She is not the person Carl needs during recovery.
  22. Today
  23. While I did like seeing the engagement on the deck, I would have liked some closure as to Alicia's fate.
  24. so perhaps a Wisconsinite can explain. When they introduced the theme of the challenge, it sounded like a set main course for each day. But I looked at the website for the restaurant featured, and it's a standard restaurant menu with lots of choices. The menu tended toward homey, familiar food, but there were tons of choices. So which is it? Is this restaurant not really a traditional "supper club" and the other thing exists elsewhere?
  25. And Hayley Mills' brother in law in the 1966 film, "The Family Way." I thought he was adorable and she probably married the wrong brother.
  26. Nice article-- funny I saw a reference to horseradish goat cheese. Didn't someone do that in the QF on Wednesday as a riff on the sauce they got? Maybe it's the next avocado toast....
  27. That reminds me of the Nixon Falls era, when we were getting constant cues, subtle and unsubtle, that we were supposed to see Lenny as a significantly older man than Sonny/"Mike," almost as if Sonny/Mike were the son Lenny and Phyllis never had. Mo is, in fact, younger than Rif Hutton...by three months!
