  1. Also a fan of YouTube TV. I also pay $20 a month for Philo to get some missing channels - History, A&E, the MTV family of channels, Hallmark, Up, Lifetime (because I need those Lifetime movies), for example. At ~$70 per month, I'm still paying half or less than what I did for cable.
  2. Yeah, yeah. Big hit with everyone.
  3. Sorry, don't know how I missed that!
  4. I knew! It may be the only thing George McClellan did right.
  5. That's a really good question. I thought the landowners said they wanted to do something before filling in the hole, so maybe it was something like bringing in archaeologists or forensic type people. I, too, was sad to see the tree go down, but I wonder if it wasn't in good health anyway - it's hard to tell in the dead of winter. Plus, the digging they did would probably have damaged a lot of the roots, seriously hurting the tree's health; so if its health wasn't already compromised, it would have been after the dig.
  6. Correct - they bought a place in Encino formerly owned by Smokey Robinson. https://www.trulia.com/blog/kyle-richards-and-mauricio-umansky-buy-encino-home/
  7. I enjoyed the season premiere from Biglerville, PA. They made some interesting finds, did their homework, and came up with some good audio and video. Jay, Steve, and Dave come off much lower-key than the casts on a lot of the other shows, and I appreciate that they just kind of get down to business. I also was pleasantly surprised that, even with Biglerville being right outside of Gettysburg, none of the activity was tied to the Civil War. Nothing against Civil War hauntings, and I love the battlefield and area; but it seemed to me like that would be a natural go-to. I also loved that the local lore actually turned out to very likely be true; so many time-honored tales turn out to be pure hooey (which, to be honest, I thought this one would). Despite the episode being two hours long, it did not drag. I'll be back for next week.
  8. You are correct, of course (and I should be ashamed, he's from around here). Maybe I had Brian Buffinton on the brain.
  9. According to the listings, the epic Dinner Party from Hell episode airs this afternoon at 2:15 (EDT). Setting my reminder.....
  10. Looking forward to tomorrow's with Cynthia Watros, Laura Wright, Brian Daniel Cosgrove - totally missed this one, though. Will definitely have to catch up with the archive. (Thank you, UYI!)
  11. I group Pennsylvania with the mid-Atlantic states - also including NY, NJ, DE, MD, WV, and sort of VA. I also group VA with the South, and went to school with plenty of Marylanders who considered themselves southern, so there's some fluidity there.
  12. Wow! I was excited to pay $1.39 (Northeast, we're always priced pretty high).
  13. I was really disappointed by this episode. Like @jewel21, I thought Kristen's fall was coming, and now would like to rewatch to see if it was even telegraphed a little; and the way they dramatized it for five minutes was kind over the top, at least to me. Likewise the mysterious car attack - something flattens the tire and damages the side of the car, and they cannot find any debris and spend a lot of time on drama. I'd hate to think anything was staged but can't help wondering. Given the allegations about Jay and Grant faking things on the original GH, I'd like to think the producers of this iteration would be careful not to exaggerate or augment (or whomever forbid, manufacture) any encounters or evidence. On the positive side, I did like that Mustafa and partner (was it Brian?) actually found some evidence and chased down some random noises with minimum histrionics. With the EVP they got saying the hoteliers might be in danger, what if the "speaker" was not a hostile entity and meant that the harm might come from the negative human element in town? Just a thought. This episode seemed very Scooby Doo to me, but I'll stick with the show for a bit to see if it was a one-off situation or what.
  14. Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that Fort Knox had anything to do with vertigo; I just usually go to see Fort Knox (no wasp issues so far, but we usually go late or off season) with the occasional, incidental visit to the observatory rather than the other way around. Do get a little fluttery taking in the water view from the top of the fort, though.
  15. Despite a healthy fear of heights, I love that observatory (and Fort Knox too!); as long as I look out and not down, nothing bad happens. But it had never occurred to me that people would jump from the bridge. Respect for the tour guide lady indeed - I can't even imagine going through that.
  16. I knew Anubis thanks to Johnny Quest. (It doesn't matter why/how you know it as long as you know it, right?)
  17. While comparing the recipes for sponge candy and sea foam, I ran into this Minnesota reference: This recipe has been in the family of senior editor Randi Danforth for generations. Her great-grandmother bought penny sponge candy to take to the movies in Minnesota. https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/sponge-candy-2797
  18. Ooooh, that's a blast from the past -- I know sponge candy as sea foam. Love it but haven't had it in years (which is probably a good thing).
  19. I'm a notary in Connecticut, so I can only speak for that state; but the notary public manual kind of discourages notaries from doing wills. The language stops just short of calling it unauthorized practice of law, which is a big no-no. Having an attorney perform the notarization is strongly recommended. Depending on whether your location has the same type of rules and regs, notaries who are not also attorneys may be a little shy about notarizing your will. Best of luck with your mission.
  20. Can't they edit the late Ms. Lyon into the mix? I thought that was one reason for the transition shots in TCM Remembers.
  21. Is that Nathan Fillion with that amazing mullet? Great pic!
