Is that what that song is? I hate that ad! And I'll add my hate to the Lending Tree or whatever it is, Linda nonsense. Drives me straight for the remote. And if my Pluto all night tv of Cold Case Files or 48 Hours start showing those, there will be no sleep for me.

How on earth do you remember/know that? Yes, near the end of the month.

I know, I haven't been around here in forever. I'm fine, just been doing other things. But it used to be when I skip the site for a while and click on a thread, I was taken to where I had left off the last time. Now, when I click on a thread, it's taking me back to 2019. Sorry, but I am not rereading 100 pages of text, so I'm just skipping through to the newest page and so I'll probably miss a lot of discussions. I did enjoy the discussions about children misbehaving in stores. I worked in a fabric store for a couple of years and kids are bored stiff in fabric stores. One day, I spotted a young man doing log rolling on top of drapery and upholstery tubes. Those fabrics come on about 4'-5' tubes and can be some of the most expensive in the store. One of my co-workers and I spotted him at about the same time and headed in that direction, but my co-worker was calling, "little boy, little boy...in her Long Island voice, we live in Oklahoma and you just don't hear that accent here. About the time we got there, his mom heard and saw and came running, she made him get down, but I have doubts if there hadn't been a commotion that she would have paid a bit of attention until the little darling fell off the tubes.

I've been away from these type shows for a long while and from these threads for that same time. So, let me get this straight. Ghost Hunters started with Grant, Jason, Steve, Dave, Amy and Adam many years ago. Then there was a problem and Grant left the show, it carried on for a few years, then went away. Then it came back with Grant and no one else. Jason, Steve and Dave were on Ghost Nation. Amy & Adam got their own show. Then that went away and Ghost Hunters name was sold as part of same time and changes that happened with Pit Bulls and Parolees and no one knew if they would be back and it was a time of great upheaval. Now a show with the title Ghost Hunters is back and it has many of the original cast members. But not Grant. And Amy and Adam are over somewhere occasionally showing up on Josh Gates shows. Is this about right?

Thanks, Welshman, I enjoyed the show, a lot more than I ever thought I would and wouldn't mind seeing the rest. I don't go to fairs, I have my reasons, but I've heard of various fair foods and wondered about them, so it was informative.

Re reactions to movies in a theater. When my oldest niece was about 3, (she's a grandmother of 2 now), her mother and I took her to see 101 Dalmatians. She was a little young and I didn't think she was paying much attention. Until the chase scene, when she stood on her seat and started yelling, "C'mon, hurry, you can do it, hurry!" I laughed. The theater was full of young children, it wasn't too horribly misbehaving of her. Editing so I don't double post. Re fried butter, recently A&E had a special about Texas State Fair foods and the vendors. It was pretty interesting, but I don't know if I missed the ending episode or they just stopped it. One of the vendors sold fried butter. I had heard of it, and thought it sounded weird and impossible. I've never had it, but after seeing it on one of those episodes, I wouldn't mind trying it. They take a small ball of bread dough, then form that ball around a pat of butter then deep fry it. So it's sort of like a small fried dinner roll with the butter melted inside. Probably as it cooks, the butter gets all through the dough.

Sprinkles are for winners. Ad that is annoying me, is for Quicken bookkeeping system. The smug man intones how his investments are doing well, his mortgage will be paid off in 12 years, he can retire at 62. Can't stand him. Wait until you are let go from your job before all of those things come to pass, or someone gets very sick, or the housing market takes a turn or there's a recession. "Man proposes, God disposes; neither is the way of man in his own hands." "The best laid schemes of mice an men."

you don't live in tornado alley, do you? Grew up in Missouri, live in Oklahoma. We go outside to look at the sky when there's a tornado warning. Editing to add, don't do this when it sounds like a freight train is approaching! But, when I see the ad, I think Kansas, farm, Dorothy, tornado.

What made me laugh in that one was how Dr. Rick got testy when they wouldn't quit talking about parking. "No more talking about parking." My dad would always leave the drive in before the end of the movie when I was a kid. I saw a lot of the endings of movies with no sound, looking out the back window as we drove away. It did influence me, when I go to a movie, I do not leave until the last credit is finished.

chenoa333, sadly Daryl is still around occasionally. He's a little better without his son to bully. I liked Brandon better than his dad and hope he is doing well on his own with his own family. But the new "rivalry" seems to be between Rene and Daryl and Rene and a newish guy, Dusty. I don't like Rene much either, he's an a$$. Was watching a new episode recently and Lisa bought a unit and Brandy didn't, so Lisa invited Brandy to go through her locker together. It seemed like they were having fun, joking around. I'd like to see more of that than the put downs and one upping that the guys do with each other. Lisa seems to get along well with all the other regulars. She and Kenny have gone through units together and talk nicely to each other. She teases Ivy and it doesn't come off mean spirited. I think that's the whole thing I like, not mean spirited. I like the softer, kinder Storage Wars. And, of course, Barry.

In later books, I think Marion changed the character to a more glamorous, while she kept the rather stocky figure, she had great legs and great hair and became less plain and had her own kind of beauty and she really liked to spend money on clothes. I've read most of the books, I haven't read the last one or two.

Agatha is described as being quite fashion conscious and well dressed, most of the time. She spends a lot of money on clothing and likes good labels and designers.

But Marion approved of the actress, Ashley Jensen who plays Agatha even though the actress is quite blonde, but in every book she describes her shiny brown hair, one of her best features. She talked about it in one of her FB posts, she said she had reservations because the actress was blonde but after she, Marion, visited the set during the filming for the first episode, she thought the actress was good as Agatha.

I love Hamish! I've read most of MC Beaton's works, I'm missing a few of both Agatha and Hamish. I followed Marion on FB until her death and she hand selected another author and worked with him to continue both series. I've read a couple of the post Marion Agatha books, they follow her standard closely. Haven't read any of the new Hamish books yet. Snakes and bastards, I'd best get on with it. But if I read, it's hard to watch tv.

I've considered getting Britbox or Acorn, I think Acorn is the one with the Agatha Raisin stories, but for right now, I have Disney Plus, when I finish watching what I want on there, I will probably turn it off and turn something else on. Watched the Spielberg, West Side Story, last week and absolutely loved it. I don't usually care for remakes, but this was outstanding! The dialog has been rewritten and it makes so much better sense for today's movie goers, the original was a little clunky in the dialog at times. I loved how some of the songs were moved around in the order and they made good sense for the plot. I particularly enjoyed America and I Feel Pretty. I loved Waiting for God, haven't seen that one in a zillion years, yes, Diana was great, I loved her sarcasm. I appreciate good sarcasm. I will think about adding Britbox for a while and then maybe Acorn. Thanks for the recommendation.
