My first ones were in Pope's Creek, MD. Rough looking joint with picnic tables covered by the ubiquitous newspaper.

There are multiple versions of these drugs, and if they deny Ozempic it means they are taking a different, similar drug. Erika did something similar when she claimed she had found better hormones; there's a drug that works that way but I can't remember the scientific explanation. At least 30 public figures have suddenly lost significant amounts of weight during the same time period. One can almost predict who will be next. As police detectives would say, there are no coincidences. They can do what they want with their bodies, except some of them are greedily and selfishly purchasing drugs that are meant for diabetics and are in short supply. That's the main reason they are afraid to admit using the drugs to lose weight.

it's become a boggy mess. I gave up half way through this episode.

There are multiple types of dementia, of which Alzheimers is the most well-known. At least two types run in my family, and I've posted on this forum that some people continue to function well, including at work, for a couple of years (but now no longer). I am a caretaker and my family member no longer works but has lived independently with a diagnosis for four years because of medications (I am slowly taking over finances, driving, etc.), but it will progress. I know of a physician, attorney and a federal employee who worked a while while having a diagnosis, although their responsibilities were increasingly limited. I suspect Tom had mild symptoms for years, and his family and business partners propped him up to keep the business going - Tom was the rainmaker who brought in boatloads of cash that paid their salaries. Often physicians will diagnose Mild Neurocognitive Disorder during the early phases of the disease, then use the term dementia after the disease progresses.

This. Nobody is forcing Ashley to make the choices she has made. She's living with the consequences, but she's living pretty well. Probably better than if she had never met Michael or been selected for the show. Ashley is never gonna take the straight job route. She's very crafty and canny, but her big error was assuming she could manipulate Michael. Oops.

I grew up near NOLA and I LOVED Treme. I heard it would leave HBO's lineup so I watched the entire thing again recently. Wendell Pierce has one of the best voices in the entertainment business. I'm also a two-spacer typist. However, in many documents I write or edit for the federal government, or for online content, I deal with extremely limited page allotments, so two spaces are out. I also know that Garamond type takes up the least amount of space on a page.

I wonder if Rupert Everett could pull it off.

AM's LinkedIn says she is a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. That's it. I don't see any mention of any kind of Ph.D. As for confusion over types of doctorate degrees, the clinical setting tends to make clear what the person does, and upon meeting the first time, the research types (Ph.Ds) tend to spell out "what" they are. I will say that my local, huge hospital system now uses the term "hospitalist" for what used to be known as the "attending physician." I can't keep up. And my gynecologist is a nurse practitioner at a large women's practice who is studying to be certified to establish her own practice so that she can focus on treating underserved communities (and be her own boss). I did not know that NPs were allowed to do this, but I think it's great.

Who should play Vidal?

"Rosie" Rosenthal was a storied B-17 pilot, known for his bravery and skill. I met his grandson and great-grandson at a 100th Bomb Group reunion. They've mentioned Doolittle in the episodes. My dad said Doolittle tried to convince crews who were "lucky bastarding" out of the 100th ("Lucky Bastard" referred to surviving the minimum number of required missions) to continue on bomber crews in the Pacific campaign. After surviving more than 25 missions at Thorpe Abbotts, my dad told him no thanks. How thrilling it must have been for B-17 crews to receive the support of the American fighters.

I really liked the first two episodes. Good pace and cheeky script: Steven. The kid slurping from an anachronistic straw. The thief who loves dresses. I've only seen Noel Fielding in the baking show, so this is fun. I'm in!

Yeah, the writing is a bit sloppy and all over the place. Too many characters and storylines.

One of my favorite all-time episodes. What a fabulous ensemble, and the episodic extras shift in and out seamlessly. Poor Miss Barbara! My mother stayed out of church-lady politics, and her treasured best friends were from her church. But I remember an incident where we watched wide-eyed and silent as several bossy ladies shrieked at each other about whether to put onions in the pot luck tuna salad. It's fun to see Janine's "corporate" fashions as opposed to her earlier baggy-dresses looks.

Case in point: a family member went in for a surgery with general anesthesia. When his BP crashed unexpectedly, it was the anesthesiologist (MD) who saved his life. (Not the surgeon. Not the RN. Not the nurse anesthetist. Although they all were a fabulous team.)

It appears that the exhausting trend of trashy cleavage is done. (For example, Garcelle's talking heads usually feature grossly displayed oversized balloons.) I guess Crystal didn't get the memo.

Morgan is using Kyle to advance her career. Nobody ever heard of her before she took up with Kyle. There could be a bit of sugar mama thing going on. Several months ago I read that Morgan signed to go on tour. She will be touring heavily nationwide beginning in a few days, through August.

The same scenario happened with RHoPotomac. The Dixons hid their family drama from Bravo and trotted it out for their own income-generating social media. Bravo is frantically trying to adjust to the reality of up-to-the-minute social media. Pre-recorded housewives episodes are ancient in a dynamic social media world. Efforts to add last-minute footage to episodes, such as Kyle's situation, are clearly clumsy producer scrambling.

I felt affection for this episode because my mother's kitchen was in her favorite colors: pink and green. I thought the Ware house was a better choice, given its option for two separate living quarters. Could provide a rental unit years from now. There are situations where caregivers would love to have a separate living quarter within steps of a family member. I appreciated seeing a modest ranch home. In some places, modest one-story residences are disappearing due to development, yet there are senior citizens who need that layout. It's great that the Napiers provided a very necessary second bathroom, as opposed to some design shows that gloss over this need.

I adore her. And that fabulous voice. I watch for her, and for the children.

I'm not sure sure "fictional" is correct. The series was based on a non-fiction book, whose author interviewed 100th Bomb Group veterans extensively for years. The vets were also interviewed by the production/scriptwriting team, and most of the series' stories are lifted from real life. I heard some of the stories at a reunion. My dad flew missions with the group. Regarding James' bomber service, the RAF flew night time missions, which were safer but less effective than the US daytime missions. US bombers were easily knocked out of daytime skies by the Nazis, and eventually the US switched to nighttime missions. Both services were extremely dangerous and resulted in tremendous loss of RAF and US life and aircraft.

Agree. I no longer watch, but I noticed it at least three years ago. I think he is exhausted with Kyle's endless drama, hysterics, and attention-seeking. She is incredibly neurotic and self-absorbed. I can't imagine living with her.

I just watched the Odd Fellows episode. I've often fantasized about living above a cozy little shop, and I love when old commercial buildings are repurposed. Where I live the old buildings keep coming down for new development. As usual they did a beautiful job, but the cavernous space would freak me out as a private residence. Was there at least a service elevator for when the couple ages? Who will wipe the dust off all of those globes? I have my usual complaint about the constant mugging for the camera. I guess Erin has recovered her energy after child-bearing, because she is all over the place. Ben looks good. I'm glad he is seeing to his health. A traditional Mississippi diet can kill you way too early in life.

Amy has, for me, exhausted her insistence on featuring her personal life for entertainment purposes. I enjoyed her pregnancy special (Netflix?) but enough is enough. It reeks of narcissism.

I watched this after finishing four seasons of For All Mankind. I enjoyed the first episode, especially the frantic problem-solving. I'm having a little trouble accepting Banks in his role, but that could be due to my exposure to NASA folks (AL and TX) growing up. He seems out of place.

The data change, but recent statistics state that Alaska has the 4th highest rate of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) of any US state. Native women have always suffered high rates of violence, but there is more focus now thanks to activism and legislation. It's become trendy to feature MMIW in movies and TV (i.e., Alaska Daily). So I don't think TD copies Wind River; it's just another in the list that is growing. One of the trends is violence clustered around "extraction sites," where resources are harvested near Native communities. It's a Petri dish for violence - the combination of money, poverty (Native), alcohol/drugs, the lack of response from law enforcement (not enough of them, or they don't care) and the transitory nature of the workers, who often have temporary contracts and can slip away if not caught. Remote locations make it easier to dispose of victims.
