Good vintage rerun last week, and for once, it actually was somewhat vintage, being from Feb. of 2020. Ru Paul was a great host, they should have him back. The skit with him reading to the kids at the library had me LOLing! Who could have guessed the hidden meanings in those books! It's always interesting to see anything from early '20, with the world about to change drastically, and none of us the wiser...

That squirrel incident was ridiculous. I can see Carrie letting out a surprised little shriek, but this was a full-throated, blood-curdling scream. And then Big shows up. What an episode. I was never a huge Aidan fan, but he sure put up with a lot of sh!t from high-maintenance Carrie.

My first experience with jury duty was kind of brutal. Literally took all day, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Everyone was seated in the courtroom, a big crowd of people, and was questioned by the judge in groups. I was in the very LAST group called. Had to spend the entire day listening to all the excuses people made up to try to get out of serving (some of which were downright comical). I was chosen, was sworn in, and told that there would definitely be a trial. This was a drug case, the third strike in a three-strikes situation, so there would be no plea deal. Then, the night before the trial was to begin, I got a phone call saying the defendant...accepted a plea, and the trial was off. Never got an explanation. Since then, I've been summoned three more times in two different states. Was told to call the night before and check if I needed to show up. All three times, I was told I wouldn't be needed, and I had fulfilled my obligation.

Married with two daughters. Not that it stopped him from trying to bed every woman he met. Henry was a bit more selective, but also had zero problem breaking his marriage vows. The show definitely changed tone after the first three seasons. The philandering-and-not-shy-about-showing-it Trapper and Henry, were replaced with the happily married B.J. and Potter, who often referenced their wives. And there was also the increasing sanctimoniousness of Hawkeye, of course.

Ugh, that was exceptionally low, even for Ma Riz. And what did she think would happen, that the police department would wait a few days, and then figure, 'huh, we never heard from Jane, guess she's not coming back', and drop it? And that Jane would just drop it? It made zero sense, and made Ma look worse than she already did. If that's possible.

Do Jingle and Books not know that Gibs is a strict, uber Catholic? I thought their belief system doesn't abide that? Maybe because he's conservative, and famous, Mr. and Mrs. Books give him a pass.

1/5 with a *. Thanks, CT.

When it comes to wine, don't give Dulce none of that dry shit!

Victoria is the real wild card in this tournament, and I wouldn't mind seeing her win. Even though the others have far more game experience than she does, she has proven that she's smart AF, and fast AF! I think she'll give all the pros a hard time. It should be fun to watch!

Another big goose egg, 0/5 🤮 Was pretty confident in Riddle of the Sphinx on Monday, and Isle of Dogs on Wednesday. That's as close as I got...

Same here. I'm less than an hour outside of totality, was expecting a nice show, and was disappointed. It barely got dark at all. Even the birds didn't seem upset! I hate to trash talk Mother Nature, but was expecting better 🙃

Broke the 1/5 streak, but in the wrong direction! 0/5 🤮

Another opossum fan here! They visit my yard frequently at night. I think the little furballs with rat tails are adorable!

1/5, saved from an 0-fer by Friday, again.

UGH, that Breyer 'interview', which wasn't much of an interview, really. The first segment was lots of word salad. Rarely have I heard someone talk so much, yet say so little. When Stephen said they had to take a break, I thought, great, maybe when Breyer returns, he'll have even less to say. The second half was him defending SCOTUS, I think; not sure, because again, talking a lot, saying virtually nothing. Stephen looked like he was getting a little impatient, himself, at times. Must be frustrating to have someone dance around every question you ask, and refuse to give a straight answer. I definitely won't be reading Breyer's book. judging from that interview, he has absolutely nothing to say.
