Aww, I thought I was the only person left who uses "grok." :)

I noticed that there wasn't anything fancy going on, which is why I wondered why it was received as such an achievement.

We, on the other hand, were absolutely sure we were right with "Molly Hatchet." Oh well, two dunces on a couch. 😄

I couldn't laugh and give you (long distance) hugs too. So you, @Bliss, @Grundoon59, @Trey, take care of yourselves, and have some of this chicken soup.

It was strange to use that as you story and not be able to deliver a simple phrase. Loved the Kristi Noem clue, I must be spiteful, because I always enjoy when a clue takes a dig at someone (usually someone I'm okay with insulting).

Am I missing something about brie? To be fair, I only had one experience with it, which ended in food poisoning. But is baking brie somehow difficult? I'm not sure why it's considered special or amazing.

@Browncoat, I already added the asterisk (did the math 😉) I didn't do too badly this week, 3/5 and two *

Week 10 – November 11 – Two Asterisks 46. *19th CENTURY AMERICA - It caused rich amusement that the name of this president, whose wife didn't allow dancing, was similar to that of a dance (James K. Polk) 47. LITERARY MONUMENTS - A 112-foot-tall monument in a Madrid plaza depicts a writer seated above bronze statues of these 2 characters (Don Quixote and Sancho Panza) 48. POETRY & PLACES - It's the geographic word in the title of a Robert Burns poem about "the mountains... covered with snow... the straths & green valleys below" (Highlands) 49. SPORTS TEAMS - Fittingly, this team was born on November 1, 1966, the day the franchise was awarded (New Orleans Saints) 50. *20th CENTURY TRANSPORTATION - A 1947 article read, its "wings were not clipped by the Senate fishermen & ghost hunters after all" (The Spruce Goose)

Agreed.

That would be so good - my worst problem is not remembering the category. My husband walked me through it - I did get it, but not in enough time, and since I was guided the whole way, I can't count it. :( I mean, November 1 is just November 1 to me. Not a fan of Halloween (well, the candy...).

I'm the same, but am also having a bit more of a temper these days than usual.

I spent a good third of the show wondering how the probie got through training with a training officer and why they weren't addressing that...and then remembered that was The Rookie, and not this show. 😂 I'm already not looking forward to the actor shadowing Bobby.

For you, @proserpina65

FJ was an instaget for me. Not sure why, I haven't even read it. Maybe because I still have my mother's wooden Don Quixote and Sancho Panza spoons she got when we were stationed in Spain. They're about two foot long and are meant to hang on a wall. Not on mine....but I can't seem to get rid of them. Otherwise, my game was so-so.

I've been doing Sporcles Presidents quizzes specifically to familiarize myself with the order of presidents for Jeopardy. So I managed to go through the list in my head in time to get to Polk. Yay! I do other Sporcles quizzes for other Jeopardy areas (world capitals, countries, bodies of water). They have helped some, it depends on whether my brain is sluggish that day or not.
