Need first aid advice please!! I burned my left ring finger on a hot sheet pan taking it out of the oven. There was a hole in one oven mitt. Egads it hurts. I'm keeping a paper towel wrapped ice cube on it which stops the hurt. But as soon as I move my finger away, yow!!! No idea how I'll get to sleep tonight. I tried putting Polysporin on it and that made it worse. I have an appt with the NP at my PCP'S office tomorrow for a sinus infection but how will I be able to sleep tonight???😫

Whoever hired her, gave the ok...needs to be fired. What a colossal embarrassment for NBC.

Ben Agosto would be a perfect commentator. No silly remarks. Pure objective observations with simple explanations that all viewers could understand, no matter how into fs they are.

I sure haven't missed the Russians at all, that's for sure! Seeing Eteri at Worlds was nauseating enough.

Beef stew and mashed potatoes. I used up the last of the Yukon potatoes, and tossed some "almost old" Campari tomatoes into the stew.

Sheesh. Figure skating is not skateboard or snowboard and JW shouldn't be using those sports' terminologies. As commentators, he and Tara need to be carefully explaining what skaters are accomplishing, what mistakes they're making, so that viewers have a better idea what the scores are reflecting. Not all viewers are familiar with scoring, what GOE's are, etc , and throwing in these other terms is confusing.

Thanks, folks 🤗. I've searched & searched but can't find the boats/company/unique name that made me laugh. I think it said, "Better Than Schlepping" on the side of each boat. Maybe the company folded.

You should do this on a nice, spring day. Years ago I decided to take the SI Ferry just for the fun of it and to be out on the water. It was great!

Yes...but is that the name on these little boats? For some reason, I remember the name meant an easier way to get around the city. This was back in 2013. I think the boats were yellow.

Hey...New York City folks! What's the cute Yiddish name of those small boats that run between Manhattan and maybe Brooklyn? Something like Schleppin'? I saw them when we were on a cruise ship waiting to head up to New England several years ago. I'm now watching Aerial America on Smithsonian and it's all about NYS. When it was showing Manhattan, I could see those boats. I always watch this episode whenever I know it's on.

I've tried to copy & paste the link from YouTube but it's not happening. Look up Worlds 2024 on YT and it's there

Nope. Last night they had two hours (bless their hearts) to cover Men's LP. The first half hour, they showed some SP's of men's & a couple of the women's LP's. And C/B's FD. To me, this shows their lack of interest in this sport. They could've made it an exciting 4 minutes, a sort of "wait'll ya see this!" moment of unforgettable athletic determination. Just found Adam's LP - link is below. It looked much better on my phone than on my laptop.

You'd think NBC would've shown Adam's skate-from-hell, 19th to the podium--an athletic achievement just made for TV, right? But no. I guess this was their way of thumbing their noses at those of us who won't pay for Peacock. Unbelievable 🤬. I sure do miss the days when ABC covered skating. Better camera work and better coverage. ABC would've have loved playing Adam's LP over & over...a Wide World of Sports miracle type of coverage. What was that show's motto?

Has any skater ever made such a huge leap in standings as Adam did tonight? 19th to the podium & a Bronze medal. Two amazing guys on ice!

Yay!! Ilia did it🎉. A fun, exciting moment in figure skating history and we watched it 😁

I haven't watched this show in a long time. But each Saturday morning I sure do think about how nice it would be to watch a revised version with replacements for Sunny, GZ and Jeff.

Keep Pet Peeves separate. And if folks put their peeves in Chit Chat too much, just give us a gentle reminder 😊.

Wow! I'm still on a skating fan viewer's high after Gilles/Poirier's FD. That music is so haunting but beautiful, and their skating was the best I've ever seen from this team. They should do more programs like this. Loved Fear/Gibson's "Rocky" FD. Now, on to Men's.

I'm waiting for World's to start at 3:00 on USA. It's ice dancing, my favorite. It's not as dangerous as pairs (my former favorite discipline in figure skating, but pairs has grown too scary for me in the past few years). Our rain stopped by noon. Hope it was enough to put out all the wildfires out in West VA.

I haven't watched MTP since Chuck left (& I wasn't even a fan of his). I was just thinking who could be a great moderator: Robert Costa. He had moderated Washington Week on PBS & was very good. Unfortunately, he left PBS to work at CBS. Meet The Press has been a shadow of its earlier days--actually, ever since Tim Russert died.

Side by side spins? I've noticed in the past few years how few pairs teams are perfectly synchronized. They're probably spending more practice time on the lifts & side by side jumps these days.

Isabeau's LP was so light & elegant that one could forget how athletic an effort it was. The look of joy on her face at the end was perfect!

Watching Amber sobbing in the K & C was heartbreaking. Now that we know the reason for her lapse in program focusing, the ups & downs of her skating career so far, I wonder if she's going to give herself a break and not put herself through these painful experiences over & over. That was a beautiful triple axel 💙

Artistry truly is subjective. IMO, Jason's skating stands out from the crowd (men & women) because he skates *with* his music, and his whole body can interpret a song--without all the wild gestures. Dick Button would be sputtering & agonizing in the commentator's booth today. Back in his day, he described the excessive arm motions as "hanging laundry" (& it wasn't as overwrought back then as it is now). Michelle Kwan, during her Lori Nichols' choreography days, was similar. Her skating interpreted her music with her arms rarely rising above her shoulders. But, who knows. World's being in Boston next year may bring out the inner elf in Jason 🍀

I used to love pairs, back in the day. For some reason, the overhead lifts now are making me too nervous to enjoy. Am I imagining it or is there less chatting on the NBC/USA broadcast? I was late to the Women's SP and figured Terry wasn't there. Plus Tara & Johnny weren't yakking away during performances. Maybe viewers complained after Nationals.
