S10.E07: When Am I Going to See My Dog Next?
aemom replied to Balmafula's topic in The Amazing Race Canada
All the crashing during the landing simulation at the airport was amusing. The Via train station is literally next to the airport and there is no way to easily get from one to the other (I know, crazy!) It's a 5 minute car/taxi ride (unless there's traffic) I had to laugh when the racers were all saying "To the airport - quickly!" They must have been surprised how close it was and that they needed an actual taxi to get there. -
I've been trying to figure out who Taylor reminds me of, and I finally figured it out. She looks like a young Tracey Ullman. We haven't had a non-elim yet. I thought that Julia and Olivia might be saved, but it was not to be.

This is the only time I have ever heard a Britney Spears song and liked it. Great episode.

Remember Dave and Irina? Everybody hated them so very much. Clearly they haven't learned their lesson about the villains.

They've actually changed the protocol on this and women are not supposed to do self-exams any more, but they are supposed to be examined by a doctor once a year, and have regular mammograms once they reach a certain age. The reason for not doing the self-exams anymore is because women were finding lumps that were mostly just cysts that would disappear and it was causing unnecessary testing and stress.

S07.E06: Baptists, Catholics And An Attempted Drowning
aemom replied to DanaK's topic in Young Sheldon
My mother was a staunch Catholic who converted to Orthodox when she married my father. My husband and I were uninterested in religion and we married in a reception hall by a Unitarian minister. We went that route because we didn't want to go to the courthouse and we were ok with what the Unitarians stood for. After child #1 was born, my mother asked about a baptism. I said no. She said "you're going to let you're kids grow up to be heathens?" Sigh....... I called the Unitarians and asked if they did any sort of thing for babies. They do "naming ceremonies" So we did naming ceremonies and everybody was happy. But had we not? I would not have put it past my mother to do a secret baptism. -
Maybe it was because there were so many other games that you could go play instead? That's what I love about TAR Canada - always finding new way to shake up the race and make it more challenging!

My husband and I watched the entire series over the last 6 months. The show was mostly enjoyable, and I agree that the last season contained a lot of WTF? That whole LokSat thing made no sense at all. Beckett leaving Castle to investigate it on her own was stupid and there were several episodes during their "separated" arc where it was very publicly clear that they were still together. They were even dating - Natasha and some doctor. And then when they magically get back together, Ryan, Espo, and Lanie say nothing and just accept it? So weird! And then once Caleb Brown caught on to them, why not just kill them out in the street or wherever? Why the whole elaborate plan with the burner phone. That just made no sense at all. And then the clearly tacked on ending. Overall it was a really good show, too bad that it ended so poorly.

Very late to the party.... My mother is German, and I am not fluent, but I've learned to follow some conversations. I understood a lot of what Sheldon said, and his pronunciation was quite good. I think that Iain did a good job.

What was the point of the whistlespeak? It had no bearing at all later in the story. Even when Tilly and the young woman were dying and she was recalling a song her mother used to sing, it wasn't even a whistled song but something that she hummed. Stuff like that drives me crazy 🤪

I had to go and Google a bit for the details because they were somewhat fuzzy in my head, but I recall Brian and Erika got screwed as well in the final task of TAR 15 when they had to count poker chips and their dealer messed up. They had actually finished the task first. There were rumors of some kind of compensation after the fact, but I'm not sure. It wouldn't surprise me if something similar goes down here as well.

I have nothing against Maria Shriver, but this really bothered me. Her family has SO MUCH MONEY that can fund this. Shark Tank is for everyday people like me who have zero connections and access to that kind of money. It's admirable that she is trying to find a cure for dementia - which has hugely affected my life as well - but Shark Tank was not the place for them.

I suspected and then confirmed my thoughts by checking the CBS website. Shelisa and Angie are the same age (55) and Derek is 57, and there is no comparison of their fitness levels.
