So, we don't get to see the RD? When the current world champs are from the same country as NBC?

There wasn't an appropriate emoji for me to click on so here's my reaction: 😧. I knew someone who was raped by a man who walked through her unlocked sliding glass door's screen while she was vacuuming her house. She worked for the same foundation (in another state) that I worked for and had met the creep while out recruiting businesses to participate in a nationwide fundraising event. This was back in the 80's. There are thousands more jacked up creeps out there today, thanks to all the garbage they can watch in the privacy of their homes. I should consider this memory as a *new* reminder to myself to not leave a room with the sliding glass door open even with its screen locked.

As soon as I read this, I had a vision of a southern courtroom: ceiling fans slowly revolving, ladies fanning themselves, and lawyers in seersucker suits. That's probably a scene out of some movie (maybe To Kill A Mockingbird?)

Don't help a ?good? boy go bad? He's bad already if he's looking into a car that has keys in the ignition (or a fob visible). We've got kids as young as 11 stealing cars in the District.

Either one. Let's get this done.

Grilled chicken (marinade is Greek vinaigrette & Turkish Seasoning...great combo!); Greek salad; and Spice Island pilaf--cooked, cooled and then sauted in olive oil, butter, some pine nuts, and a little garlic. Some of it got a little crispy...my favorite part (so much easier than pilaf from scratch 😊).

😡 Sheesh. I may need to take a break, after TOC, until they get back to the regular game.

@shapeshifter You're very kind. We've never met but for some reason, I can't imagine you going down in flames after losing on Jeopardy--and going down in flames while trying to haul a TV game show with you. Yogesh is trying to come across as a nice guy, fun fellow contestant, he's even going for that humble look 🤓. IMNSHO, he hasn't grown at all and he's pretending to be something he's not. I sure hope Troy or Ben finishes this TOC soon as I'm ready for regular Jeopardy!

Lainie Kazan gushing over "Swannie" was my favorite part of this movie. I need to watch this movie again. The music for the opening credits set the tone for that era: Les Paul & Mary Ford performing "How High the Moon".

@kristen111 She's lucky to have you looking out for her. Good luck.

Wut 🥴?

The snot was a new acting technique for her. Previously, she excelled in creating a tear that s.l.o.w.l.y. rolled down her cheek in the movie, Doubt.

Can one sub ground turkey for lamb or beef in Moussaka? I like Mindthinkr's suggestion of Turkey Sloppy Joe's. Wow...that's interesting info' re: cumin. My grandson & family will be here soon and he also has that tree nut allergy (he carries an epipen? at all times).

Whenever I hear a contestant these days say, "Bring it", I think...no. It's only cool/funny when a certain Steve Martin lookalike says it. I'm almost over missing those Masters, but "bring it" now just makes me miss that crew all over again. Go Ben! Go Troy! 🍀🤞

I peeked here toward the end of DJ. Yogesh was gaining too much. Gee...I had no idea he's a psychologist (hardly ever get to hear introductions). Until my daughter started grad school & described her fellow future psychologists (oy!), I always thought these people had it together. Go Ben! Go Troy!

So glad this forum exists so I can find out what's going on in the real world today 🤓. Several years ago I felt so smart when I informed my husband what LOL meant (he thought it meant lots of luck).

Working from home? I recall chatting with a customer service rep for Motorola 2 years ago and while he was looking up some info' for me, I heard a rooster crow 😁.

Sheesh. And I used to consider the "Don't squeeze the Charmin!" ads annoying.

Awww...I was pulling for Luigi (I could just see him on his treadmill, flipping through flash cards). But it's ok. Troy really came alive in DJ so there's hope 😁 🤞

Of course he did. I'm sure some contestants return home and are told that their behavior, attitude, appearance, whatever was not good. Jake returned & presented himself as an adult, not a rambunctious child. Right now I can't think of other examples, except for Yogesh. As far as I know, he was the worst...an OTT sore, bitter loser, attacking Jeopardy, lashing out. So someone gave him advice. IMO, it's an act. It'll be interesting to see how he behaves if he loses the TOC.

Congress needs to give the IRS more funding so they can hire more staff (& get rid of the poor performers) to work with us. Maybe have the funds to offer financial incentives to get staff to return to the offices. I can understand staff in the Metro DC area wanting to work from home though. Commuting around here is a bear...an ugly, meanspirited, rabid bear!

Maybe. Maybe not. I was surprised that Da'Vine was nominated. She did less acting than Dominic Sessa (who didn't even receive a nomination) & Giamatta. My only memory of Da'Vine is of her sobbing or being depressed. She didn't have many lines, was only in a few scenes

@proserpina65 I'm (almost) speechless! She said that on TV? I thought the FCC had rules. Well...they used to, back when things were a tad more civilized in this country. I guess I forgot about folks on cable news shows using profanities lately. And our parents thought the country was going to hell in a hand basket, back in the 60's 🙄.

😒😡😬 But how come there's no ad showing a guy spraying deodorant down *his* pants? Or, that awful, smirky woman sniffing around a man??? 🤬

Do you have a decent Congressional rep? This is something a federal rep would handle. I'm astonished an IRS employee would be allowed to work from home. The IRS should know about what you heard.
