I tend to watch Screen Junkies and today one of them was waiting to purchase tickets during the show and would give updates on how much time was left. At the very end she ended up getting her tickets. But the frenzy as she was picking her seat and entering her credit card was so funny. (It's about 28 mins in, or check the description box for timestamps. I tried linking from the timestamp but who knows if it works.)

Let's move back to Jill and Derrick please. The abortion talk has gone past a quick tangent to becoming the main discussion and that's not what PTV is for. Thanks!

I should not have watched that special look, but it's ok. The movie is 3 hours long and there will be plenty of other feels. We're not going until the following weekend because we're seeing Book of Mormon on that Saturday. However, because my then 12 year old daughter was so wrecked after Infinity War, my husband and I will see it during the week so we can tell her what happens so she'll be prepared to see it with the big group we usually see it with. Also, we're a group of 10, too, so there's no way we'd be able to get tickets for opening weekend. I feel for everyone trying to get tickets, but I can't say I'm surprised that this movie broke ticketing sites.

I was waiting the week....and it is now a week. I think you meant unpin. I can't online anything. Autocorrect is once again causing as many problems as possible. (I find it hilarious that autocorrect is apparently spelled wrong. I don't care, I'm leaving it as one word.)

Discussion of TWOP doesn't really belong in Jessa's topic folks. Move on, please.

There's been enough discussion of RN vs LPN. Move on, please.

From the onscreen guide:

I tried finding a date, but I can't even find a launch date for Disney Plus or whatever the streaming service is called. My Google skills are not very high, though. In the interim, speculation would be awesome as is talking about past episodes, too. I'm still dancing around over Anakin seeing Ahsoka, though. And I get to see Obi-Wan again and it makes me happy. Whenever we get it, that is.

In case any one was looking for a Star Wars Clone Wars topic considering a new season should be coming...sometime? Here's the new topic:

The announcement for the last season of Clone Wars happened before the big forum upgrade, and even so there isn't a date other than it will be on the Disney streaming service. It was mentioned here in Rebels and now a topic has been created to speculate and chat about imo a terrific Star Wars show:

From the onscreen guide: (Thanks to @Sew Sumi for the reminder!)

The longer version of the commercial shows that he's an overnight security guard and he has his dog with him. At the end, he eats breakfast with his dog in the empty conference room. I'm guessing the message is when you love your dog and the dog gives you so much joy and companionship you feed the dog that food. At least that's the typical dog food message.

I am so excited for this! I may even have to do a rewatch. I just hope that there aren't any droid episodes. That stupid Lilliput one with 3PO and R2 was just...ugh. Still all I'm left with is...AHSOKA!! HOLY COW, IT'S AHSOKA!! And I haaaated Ahsoka when the series started. Hated her. She grew into one of my favorites. I think that's because the show allowed her to grow and learn and change and mature. Loved that. And was always very impressed with the voice acting for the Clones.

Speculation for the upcoming season on Disney Plus. To discuss Rebels, see this topic, to discuss Resistance, see this topic.

****Mod Note***** Please don't discuss mod actions in the topics. It derails the conversation. Any questions or concerns, please take to PM with your mods @frenchtoast and @PrincessPurrsALot. Also, the conversation regarding Destinee and her clearly truncated and edited transgender journey has thus far been what we already knew about Pounders--kind, thoughtful and respectful. Just be careful to not conflate Destinee's journey, stalled though it may be, with all other trans folk. As we know, we're like the offerings at QVC--we come in all different sizes, colors, flavors and shapes. One person does not represent all nor do they have to conform to a certain specific narrative.

I've used Chewy as well and they are most excellent. Sent me an email that something in my delivery wasn't available and I could choose something else and if it didn't make free shipping, they'd waive the shipping. It turns out I went a little crazy but I have only had good experiences with their customer service. I love them. What I don't like about a Chewy ad is the lady calling saying she has a puppy and needs food. And then she says that the puppy thinks the house is a bathroom. And I'm like, lady. You adopted a puppy. They pee and poop in the house. They chew things. What the heck did she expect. Also, dogs don't know how to use bathrooms or toilets either, so are you sure you know what you're doing?

From TLC.com schedule info:

****MOD ANNOUNCEMENT**** Let's bring this back to the episode please and away from grocery shopping and listing what's in your cart and what you do with it. Please and thank you.

From the onscreen guide:

Also, with all the various safety recalls, most places can't take donations of car seats, cribs, strollers etc. They can't keep track of what was recalled vs what wasn't, so they can't take used stuff like that. And to bring it back to Jinger, I'm guessing she didn't get many hand me downs. But I do love a lot of the clothes she has.

***MOD NOTE**** Small Talk is for discussion that is not about the show. Please talk about Sean's passing in his topic(s) where there is already an ongoing discussion. Thank you.

I got a cold today. The son has had three colds since the beginning of January and I finally caught one. He was getting over one and now it sounds like he has the same one I do, so maybe he's on his fourth? Husband is working. Daughter has rehearsal from 4-6 and son has a concert arrive at 5:30 until probably 8 (which we have been told we can avoid because we've heard/seen the songs). I'm not looking for romance today. I'm looking for someone to somehow get some dinner in us before 8 pm tonight so I can crawl into bed at 9. @Jynnan tonnix said: My birthday is Feb 1 and Mr. Toast's birthday is Feb 20. We don't really do anything big or special but after Christmas and these birthdays and the kids winter break just after the Valentine's, we tend to just let it slide. I get a card but no way would I want to handle the restaurants tonight! Also, I'm not cooking tonight, either!

In a land of few rules there is a big one that a few people have seen fit to violate. We do not tolerate racism. This includes using pidgin English or other forms of language to mock the way certain ethnicities supposedly pronounce things. Any mocking pseudo spellings of egg roll or any other such items will earn you a warning. Taken to an extreme, it may well earn you a seat on the bus out of here, with or without gasoline soaked drawers. Questions? Ask your Mods, @PrincessPurrsALot and @frenchtoast

Folks, let's swing this back to the Duggar World, please. Thanks!

This topic can sometimes reflect the the current contentious topic of the day. Everyone has been following the Be Civil Golden Rule nor have personal politics found their way in. But as a reminder: There does not need to be consensus or capitulation. Explain without making it personal. No one needs to respond or engage with every post. Thank you.
