I’m pretty sure there was a large amount of cash in a safety deposit box in an episode (at least 1) of Law & Order too. That was how they zeroed in on the right perpetrator after suspecting at least 2 others who were actually innocent. So yeah, TV takes liberties/uses dramatic license—but I think we already knew that.

From TV Line: Actress Peggy McCay, Caroline Brady on Days of Our Lives, Dead at Age 90 of Natural Causes. Ironically, she died something like just 3 weeks after Frank Parker, the actor who played her husband Shawn Brady.

The current Jimmy Dean foods commercials make me a little crazy. He narrates them, but he’s been dead since 2010 (or so says Wikipedia). Obviously it’s narration pulled from previous ads (or the entire ad is being recycled, except maybe for changing/updating any onscreen slogans), unless the ad agency involved & the company have found a way to bring someone back from the dead.

I’m pretty sure Bill said they brought Kate along with them to Florida. Or it could’ve been somewhere else; TLC actually aired up to 3 episodes, or maybe 4 last night/early this morning (house hunting, the kids’ first experience playing with snow, a preview of this season, & maybe 1 more) & I admit I was dozing on & off some as I watched (screwed up sleeping, nothing to do with the show), so I may be attributing Kate going with the family to Florida when she could’ve gone somewhere else (like I fell asleep during 1 episode & woke up during an entirely different 1). But Bill definitely said Kate went somewhere with the family during an episode aired last night.

And they didn’t take them the second time. They left the kids with Jen’s Aunt Barbara (who also sat for/with Will on his first trip to Florida with the family.

Yes. He was born in Kentucky.

This reminds me of an item in our local morning paper years ago. We also have a very small local airport (which is lucky to have the service we actually have [4 airlines, only 1 of which flies full-size jets here; plus 4-5 boarding bridges, for 8 gates], & the amenities [we finally got a name brand restaurant & coffee seller there, only the coffee seller’s Seattle’s Best & not Starbucks, a few years ago]). Years back, definitely before we got the restaurant & coffee seller, & maybe before we got the other amenities mentioned, singer Johnny Mathis came to perform in town. On leaving town, he was said to have been more than rather unhappy our local airport doesn’t have (didn’t have 1 then; still doesn’t have 1) an airline club room/VIP lounge where he could wait for his plane.

A plane still decompresses, & people who aren’t belted in their seats & loose objects in the plane are still liable to get sucked out (at least anyone near the hole made by the decompression; anyone farther away from it, not so much—but I think loose personal items anywhere in the plane are liable to get sucked out), regardless of the plane’s altitude. You just don’t need to use the plane’s emergency oxygen system to breathe without going into hypoxia once you’re anywhere below anywhere from 10,000-12,000 feet (I think the altitude depends on the airline). Added oxygen isn’t “compression”, by the way.

I knew that you were talking about Nick. And yeah, he’s a SEAL I forgot on my list. Probably because he went bad after getting outta the Navy.

Steve (& Freddie, his military BFF who died during the mission Steve selected Freddie as his partner on; Sam Hanna on NCIS: Los Angeles; Magnum on the Magnum P.I. reboot; the characters in SEAL Team; recent Five-0 team member Junior Reigns, & others I’m probably forgetting) wasn’t a “Seal” or a Seal. Those are a sea animal & other things. Naval Special Ops team members are SEALs. It’s an acronym for Sea, Air & Land, the areas in which they operate (the E, borrowed from “sea”, is capitalized, as is the full acronym). Yes, Doris had a hiding place under at least 1 floorboard in Steve’s house. She hid, like, a diary or some sort of papers (I think) that would help Steve get to understand her better; she also might’ve hidden that microfilm about her secret missions/CIA work that was supposed to keep the family from danger, which Tyler Kane, somebody who knew her in the years she was believed to be dead (but was living in hiding so her CIA-related enemies couldn’t catch or kill her or her family), & was a current nominee for some big US government/Cabinet-related job, was also looking for—apparently because (or so it seemed) there was information about his own CIA-related actions on it, & whatever’s on the microfilm about him is apparently bad enough to tank his big government job promotion if it was discovered. And Tyler Cane wants that job badly enough he’s apparently willing to do pretty much anything to keep people from finding out that information about him.

From NBC News: Two Big Meat Recalls Affect Cured Ham, Ground Beef

Yeah. They’ve all admitted in character, & at least Candice Bergen has additionally admitted in real life, that they revived the show because of the last election & what’s happened in the country, if not also the world, since.

Five-0 members drive their own cars/vehicles (as far as I know). The Camaro is Danny’s private & work car (he’s taken his kids, Charlie & Gracie, to school & other places in it); Steve has been known to drive his truck during cases; Chin would drive various vehicles—a motorcycle, an SUV &, in his last season (S7), I think he drove a Mustang. They don’t regularly drive cars marked as belonging to HPD (though they did have to borrow at least 1, in the pilot, to chase the criminals after something happened to the unmarked car they were driving in), or cars marked with the Five-0 badge or other task force-related insignia.

Was the plant anywhere near Fort Wayne? We had 1. I remember it because I remember the Nestle logo on the front of the building. I think it was somewhere between my house at the time & the airport (maybe on/near the connector here to Interstate 69, or near the GM Truck Manufacturing Plant that’s in the same area). I know I saw it enough to remember the logo on it & pretty much the only way that I saw anything that much was on the way to or from the airport (I used to travel a lot before my health went south a few years ago).

We have or had some kind of Nestle-related plant in my Northeast Indiana hometown. I can’t remember what they do/did. I’ll bet you smelled like cookies when you worked with the honey & oats & everyone noticed. A competing food manufacturer has a commercial where a woman who (supposedly) works for the company says people notice she smells like “cookies” whenever she goes to the store after work because she works with the honey & oats combo too.

From NBC News: Salmonella Outbreak From Infected Eggs Has Sickened 38 People in 7 States Since Mid-June 10 people have been hospitalized since mid-June but no deaths have been reported. The eggs were sold primarily in retail stores & restaurants in Georgia, Alabama, & Tennessee. Tests have traced the infections to eggs sold by Gravel Ridge Farms in Cullman, Alabama, which had issued a recall on September 8, the CDC said Tuesday. The cartons have “best if used by” dates of July 25 to October 3, 2018. Here is specific information on the affected product(s), along with a list of retail stores involved. The only retail stores involved appear to be in Atlanta, Georgia & Birmingham, Alabama. Salmonella cases have been reported in Colorado, Montana, Iowa, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, & Alabama. 24 new cases have been reported since September 10, when the CDC issued its first report on the outbreak. The CDC advises consumers to return any Gravel Ridge Farms eggs to the store where purchased or throw them out, even if some of the eggs were eaten & no one has gotten sick. The symptoms of Salmonella poisoning are given in the linked article.

In most cases, when someone (like me, for example) puts stuff from a post they’re responding to in bold or another typeface than the usual in their response, that’s a way of quoting or otherwise pointing out what comment(s)/part(s) of the post they’re responding to in the quoted post. Small point: The site is Twitter. The messages posted there are Tweets.

Her son Avery helped her establish her Twitter account, the night before her new show debuted, if not earlier, in a scene in the ep. I think she was maybe trying to resist setting up the Twitter account, but working in TV journalism himself, Avery realized social media accounts are/can be important tools of the trade & got Her eased into setting it up). She asked him how many followers he had (542,000 if I remember the scene right). He helped her with her username (Real Murphy Brown, because her name alone was taken) & password (she wanted to use “password”—the 1 word they tell you not to; he (I think) suggested “Aretha forever” (I don’t know how it was spelled, correctly or using shortcuts, like “4” instead of “for”). I had read beforehand they were going to pay tribute to her somehow in the ep (she guested in an ep of the original version &, of course, Murphy loves the song “[You Make Me Feel Like] A Natural Woman”). Avery also tried to discourage her from posting on Twitter that she had gone on a date with Trump (she said aloud what she was gonna Tweet as she was writing it).; if nothing else, because the way she worded it (& that she also gave so many at least alleged details about it—though who knows if they were details of the real life date Candice Bergen went on with Trump) virtually guaranteed it would go viral.

Just watched the video again to be sure; they were actually cashew nuts (my favorite), not peanuts. It’s a little easier to tell that they’re kinda “smile shaped” when Will’s putting some on the counter for Zoey. I agree, it was sweet he gave her some too, once she got on the stool next to him. But 1 thing they’ve always said about Will & Zoey is, even though we’ve seen him get exasperated with her (real or pretend exasperated, like in last season’s video when Zoey started talking & started saying something about “Friday, into winter, into Thanksgiving”, & then something about seeing Sleeping Beauty, & rambling on about various other things, & Will rolled his eyes & muttered about how she likes to talk), Will always looks out for Zoey & makes sure she’s taken care of too. If he gets something, at least/especially like food, he makes dang sure his younger sister (I hesitate to call her his “little sister”, since the family, as a whole, are called “little people”) gets some of it too. But really, I think I remember it also being said he also looked out for (at least some of) the other kids in his foster home/orphanage in China in the same way as he does with Zoey.. Will’s looked after Zoey ever since he kissed her foot, to try & comfort her since she was scared & crying about being taken away from the orphanage, when Jen introduced them in India once Bill & Jen had custody of her. And they’ve pointed out how he does that sorta thing multiple times in the show—mostly like showing Will waiting to approach houses on Halloween until Zoey caught up with him, & whomever was with them, if he got too far ahead of them. I’m glad Bill intervened in the nuts thing; at least Will seemed a little contrite over it, when he put his face in his hands while Bill was scolding them. But I don’t think it helped when Bill took 1 of the nuts off the counter while telling them it wasn’t good to take someone else’s food, just because it looked like they could, without being told they could; especially since they didn’t know these people & they didn’t seem to be home during the showing (you never know, the homeowners could’ve “doctored” the nuts & left them out for potential buyers to snack on & then get sick, or something). Mixed messages much, Bill?

Here, from People, is an article about the Florida house hunting. There’s a video with it, but I don’t think it’s exactly the same as the 1 I saw on Facebook, or somewhere else on social media.

It’s on AntennaTV at 5PM Eastern on Saturdays & Sundays (the beginning of the pregnancy storyline, this weekend); it’s also on at 11PM Eastern Monday-Friday (this week, currently near the end of S8).

From his Wikipedia page, Robert Pastorelli (Eldin) was with the original version of the show for 7 years/seasons; then he went on to do an unsuccessful (1 season or less than) sitcom & the American version of the British(?) TV series Cracker. He died in 2004, from a Morphine overdose (apparently the reason Eldin was referred to as having passed as well in the episode), leaving behind 2 daughters—by different women, 1 deceased at the time of his death—who are now approximately 20 & 18 years old, respectively. At the time, he had been advised that the police were about to bring him in for further questioning in the shooting death, years before, of his then-girlfriend & mother of his eldest daughter (which had been reclassified to a homicide from an undetermined type of death), & that he was identified as a prime suspect in the death (though he had originally been cleared of involvement when the death was classified as being of undetermined cause).

Original McGarrett was never a SEAL, like McGarrett 2.0, just in Naval Intelligence like he was. I wanna say maybe that’s why it was scarier, or at least more daunting, in the original than it was in the reboot. Plus, I’m pretty sure even some SEALs are capable of being broken by use of the tank on them, even though (I think) they’re supposed to be trained to withstand pretty much any (known) form of torture.
