    I instantly sang🎶 "Down on the corner…" for the GIVING SOME DIRECTION for $600 TS:
    “In a CCR song, it's where Willy & the poor boys are playing ‘out in the street’”

    Anyone else?🎵

     

    Thank goodness it wasn't on Lake Superior, or you KNOW what song we'd be singing. LOL.

    When I think about CCR songs, I'm surprised I don't own any records (CDs? mp3s?) of theirs. I've always enjoyed singing along with them.

  2. I really enjoyed the dino episode and was totally surprised by who the perp was.  I've been watching old Murder, She Wrote episodes and I've seen them so often, I know who the perp is as soon as they show up.  It was nice to be surprised by this one. 

    But I don't remember Todd. Have we seen him before?  What did surprise me is that for such a small town, they have their own "geoscience department."

    I did laugh out loud when Kristen handed the coffee to Rowena, who said it was just awful & Sims said, "We're trying new beans..."

  3. Google's reading your gmail, too. I had a gmail conversation with a neighbor - he was a special needs schoolteacher and had had a particularly hard day. He said he was gonna have a big glass of bourbon. We exchanged names of our favorite bourbons.

    Next day, I got an "ad" for Alcoholics Anonymous.  Not only are they reading, they're being judgmental.

    That day, I bought my own website, solely for the email access. Screw you, google. (it's $14  annually & $4 monthly - well worth it.)

    We all know that our cats will eat us if they're not fed on time.

    My Stella is a very patient girl. I don't think she would eat me. She lets me keep sleeping even when her dish is empty. When Bosco was alive, however, I had no illusions that if I died undiscovered, he'd be the first to chow down. Stella would reluctantly follow him if she got hungry enough, but Bosco would have been right there, teeth bared.

  5. I don't recall how I found out there was a Parthenon in Nashville, but on a family vacation in the late 60s, my parents and I went there. This was way before the giant statue was erected. They had a smaller, gilded statue on a pedestal that was taller than the statue itself.

    Pre-internet, how did we ever find out about places to see when we went to other cities?

    If there are no female Centaurs then how do they get more Centaurs?

    From mythopedia.com:

    Centaurs were originally all male. Female Centaurs, or “Centaurides,” were probably introduced no earlier than the fifth century BCE, and even then, they were regarded as novelties.[12] Female Centaurs did sometimes appear in later art and literature: Ovid, for instance, tells of a female Centaur named Hylonome, whom he may or may not have invented.[13]

  7. A female Centaur makes no sense any way you look at it.

    Dove has had "+MenCare" for quite a few years - My SIL turned me on to the soap. (The green one, not the orange) It's got such a lovely scent. I now use their (pit) deodorant, too.  I wouldn't doubt they'll soon have a full-body version.

    Ew.  I have yet to see that one.  Native is not a brand of deodorant I would ever buy.  I will not do "natural" deodorants.  I live in the South and I glisten 6 months out of the year.  

    I've seen it. She whinnies the name Native.  WHINNIES!!  "Na a a a a a tive"

  9. I said Rogers Brothers solely because they made my Nana's silverplate cutlery.

    ETA: I used the archive for yesterday's game. I am gobsmacked that I got Toshiro Mifune.

    (question: why such a cruel message (the one that could not be quoted directly above this question))

    (question: why the ideas of crankiness and annoyance in the "commercial " mentioned here)

    I'm not sure Mario500 understands why we're here. LOL

    You probably can't get it after 85 because they assume you won't live long enough to pay off your return.

    I did listen further - Jonathan later says you can keep the insurance as long as you want to, so, I suppose, once you turn 86, they figure you're not gonna throw away all the money you sunk into it and will keep on paying nine ninety five.

  12. Two for me, one of which I know nothing about the category. If I had been a Friday contestant, I would have bet 0 on comic book characters, yet, whoo-hooo, I got it.

    I also got CT, which was an asterisk.

    Sung by Murray Head, older brother of Anthony Stewart Head from Buffy, and the original Judas on the Jesus Christ Superstar concept album.

    And Hayley Mills' brother in law in the 1966 film, "The Family Way."  I thought he was adorable and she probably married the wrong brother.
