  1. Yet I still see on some gossip sites that Kelvin Jr is spending her money fast. I just hope it all is to benefit his mother. There was also talk of her meeting up with some producers to discuss her being on tv again. I’d like that, but am afraid she’d only be a shell of her former self.

  2. I went out to get my mail tonight. I was shocked to see my driveway semi-covered in leaves. That’s about two months too early for this to be happening. I’m starting to suspect we are in for a long cold winter. It was 95 degrees today. I should not have fall symptoms. 
    I live on the SE U.S. coast for reference.

  3. My brother told me something once that I have used in my life. When people don’t have the willingness to say thank you (by note, email or text) then just don’t gift them anymore. It has raised a few eyebrows from people in my family. The best writers are my grandkids. My grandkids always acknowledge a gift and I even sometimes get a note in the mail (joy) and a picture to hang on the refrigerator. It’s probably because of the rule my Dad took. Christmas notes must be mailed before New Year’s or there is no being allowed out to celebrate it that I was brought up with. I taught my daughter the same. I’m glad she is passing this lost art (manners) onto her family. 
    Now if only I can cure my grandson from wearing a hat in a restaurant during a meal. That annoys me.

    One is for the episodes etc. & one is for the final J contest.

    Aha thank you for the clarification. Evidently my brain is still on vacation. 
     

    I also plan to play along this season.

  5. I’m so glad I did a rewatch before starting this season. The show jumps decades at times and I’m afraid I would have been lost had I not. 
     

  6. Even before the guests boarded they could see that it was raining. I’m sure they were made aware that a medicane was on the way as certainly wherever they were staying at had to have been preparing. At the least the local (usually BBC News America when abroad is available in English) television stations would have been putting out weather reports. I understand how disappointing that it must have been for them, but I would have said to my fellow travelers “Hey, we might not get very far..,should we get some cards, a game or something to pass the time?”  I also thought the yachts tour should have made them aware of how to quickly locate their life vests. Have we ever seen that? Seems to be Boating 101.

    I checked the plot and I don't think he's ready - he's not even six yet!  The Wizard of Oz freaked him out when we tried to get him to watch it a few months ago.

    My apologies. I didn’t realize his age. I’m glad you checked it out (as I suggested). Perhaps when he is a teen and if he is still interested in entomology. 
    My apologies 🧸

    What was the old term the jet settters. Since the series normally time skipped and concentrated on the high season even the local resident workers picked up infections from around the world.

    I thought of that, but some like the obscure disease that can come from the prick of a rose thorn sometimes leave me SMH. Got to give it to the writers though. They keep it interesting. 
    Plus I love how Hank MacGyvers so many things.

    Same with schools.  A good friend of mine started working in an elementary school library a few years ago and she seems to catch everything that is going the rounds including (ick - lice).  Makes me glad my original career goal of school librarianship didn't pan out!

    Interesting that it worked differently for my daughter. She has worked in a school system for decades. I guess after you get used to the bugs du jour, you build up an immunity. She rarely gets sick.

  10. Tonight they are showing some Meryl Streep movies. I had seen Sophie’s Choice many years ago, and watched it again tonight. Her acting was amazing in this film and it’s understandable why she won the Beat Actress Oscar for it.
