I'm also assuming that UK readers can still order editions from other countries. I've bought UK editions of books before from Amazon and had them shipped to me in the US. (Mainly if the book is released there first because I have no patience or chill when I really want to read something. LOL)

There's also not a birth certificate for one of grandma's aunts, who was born in the early 40s in the middle of nowhere in NC. I think it was to get a social security card, but for some document, she had to take her mother to the courthouse to confirm she was born on her birthday to her parents.

Here jury duty is done 6 months at a time. I've never been summoned. My brother was last year, but he was never called during his 6 month period. A lot of people I talk to here say they get called but then never have a trial. I had assumed he would, though, because there was a murder trial scheduled during that time, but the trial fell apart after someone stopped cooperating. I guess they didn't have much evidence beyond that. My grandparents have both been called over the years. My grandmother tried to warn them that my grandfather was profoundly hard of hearing, but they insisted that he still had to show up for selection. After about a minute of interacting with him, they told him he was excused. LOL

I used to deliver library books to the nursing home, and 2 of the residents were sworn enemies over something that happened over bingo. I never did hear what it was, but God they hated each other. I didn't dare tell them that they had similar reading taste and were just swapping the same James Patterson books back and forth between each other. 😂

Bahahaha that's great! Your description of the dragon wanting to blend in with the locals and root for Bama was cracking me up before a Zoom meeting. I wonder if any rogue dragons want to adopt my poor long-suffering Razorbacks and become a Hogs fan. We need all the help we can get. 😂

I've never heard of this, but it sounds awesome! I'm a sucker for a good heist story.

Yeah he was super preachy, and I also thought he was one of the worst actors on the show. But the side characters were great. I loved Radar, Potter, Father Mulcahy, etc.

Thank you for posting this! I hadn't heard anything about a release date.

Oh I absolutely cannot abide Hawkeye. I actually like Winchester the best of the doctors. LOL

Yes and it had some interesting, thought-provoking material about a range of social and legal issues. I never did finish the 7th season. I want to be Diane when I grow up! She was one of my favorites.

I watch a lot of cable prestige drama, and I still maintain that season 5 of The Good Wife is one of the best seasons of television ever made. I do too. I'd heard for years how groundbreaking it was, but when I finally tried to watch it, I found Archie absolutely insufferable. Every episode to me was like enduring some unpleasant family Thanksgiving dinner from hell, and I usually like crazy family sitcoms. I also know way too many people who genuinely love the show because they think Archie just tells it like it is to find it successful as satire.

CBS does really play it safe, but once upon a time amidst all the NCIS knockoffs, they also had The Good Wife and Person of Interest. I always wondered if they weren't paying attention to what was happening with those shows because they--particularly the later seasons--seemed to have wandered in from a different plane entirely and were quite unusual for network TV.

His claim he was directing his comments at the Goldman attorneys rather than the family was quite the feat of logic. Who does he think the attorneys are representing?

OJ's executor/lawyer is also backtracking on his earlier statement that he'd make sure the Goldman family will get nothing from the estate. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/oj-simpsons-lawyer-reverses-statement-civil-judgement-goldman-family-1235874717/

Oh I agree 100%. I don't know the ends and outs of being an armorer, but I've lived around firearms all my life. She violated really basic rules of safety. I would have had some sympathy for her if she was clearly just scattered/rushed due to being overwhelmed by having 2 jobs. But I think her actions go way beyond that, and I don't think she would have been any safer if she'd been doing only one job. I think the fact she was the only one willing to take it on goes beyond a question of experience and is indicative of how un-safety-minded she is. Because that's what the other armorers pushed back on--it's dangerous to have your armorers focused on anything but the weapons. She didn't seem to care.
