Second The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. The movie (on Netflix) is also quite good.

Because nobody wanted to buy them at this point in time? For a sale to occur, there needs to be a willing seller (the bookstore), a willing buyer (there was none) at an agreed-upon price (no willing buyer, no agreed-upon price). Desperate to save the family bookstore, a risk was taken. She got caught, and the risk did not work out in her favor.

I really felt for Missy. My mother was conservative about makeup, leg shaving, etc., and I had hairy legs long after classmates had started shaving their legs, and I was teased/bullied about it. Thank goodness I didn't try what Missy did! Peer pressure - root beer! I love root beer! I felt badly for George. Being a high school athletic coach is not an easy job. I don't know what class(es) he teaches, but if the school can hire a coach who can also teach those classes, they will. Boosters can be brutal if they perceive the team's losing is the coach's fault. You're only as good as your last winning season, and those winning seasons will be forgotten as soon as you have a losing season.

OK to ask, but one place to find it is j-archive.com Yes, same Channel Islands! Family is in Bournemouth England, and we spent about a week on Jersey a few years ago. I’d love to go back.

I saw The Paper Chase movie and the TV series. Also I’ve seen at least two Legally Blonde movies, so that was pretty easy. I know of three places for potatoes: Idaho, Oregon, and Jersey in the Channel Islands. Don’t know why, but PEI makes me think of mussels. Is that a thing there? Loved the Bassett Hound!

I like the air bnb one, Beautiful Strangers.

I watched this episode last night; I'd put it off because I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch it. The first twenty minutes dragged a bit, then zoom! Let's get going! I haven't read the book, and don't remember watching any of the other movies, and I'm enjoying this very much. Also unfamiliar with this period of French history, so not sure how it all tracks, but it makes for a fine story. When the gendarmes were chasing them, I hoped they'd find out that Fogg had saved Thierry. But he got away, so that's OK. Also, for years, I thought it was Phineas, not Phileas.

Of course you did! My funny Hampton Court Palace story. I was about a third of the way through the tour, hearing about William of Orange and Mary. Suddenly it hit me - that was our William and Mary!

Week 18: 3/5, 1*, 2A* YTD: 39/90, 2*, 4A*, 2M* I'm making a chicken and lentil stew this week, so I'll bring some.

Sorry, I meant here in this topic forum.

Did I miss comments re: Amy's 32nd win? Ties with James? Kind of interesting, when James lost, I was happy. There were several things about him I found annoying. But while I'm getting tired of runaway games, Amy doesn't annoy me the way other contestants have. Should this go in another topic?

When did we see this, or when was it explained to us?

I loved that book!

I recently re-watched Season 3 Episode 6, where Beth accuses Jamie of of forcible sterilation at the time of the abortion. I noted that only Beth used the word, hysterectomy, and when Jamie was trying to reason or explain, she cut him off, so we never heard any kind of explanation for what really happened. And when John asked why she hated Jamie so much, we didn't see that conversation. John just showed up and confronted Jamie, and didn't ask for his side or consider that Beth may not have been truthful. I'm skeptical that Beth knew what she was talking about, and consider it possible that she's outright lying about what happened. Is there another episode that has more information? If so, I missed it. This episode was also about the disappearance of young indigenous women, which I thought was minimized due to Beth's dramatics.

When Mr. Zoey goes to the bank, he always tries to get dollar coins. Before retirement, there was a vending machine in his building that took the dollar coins. Now he spends them for small purchases, and also uses them to leave cash tips. It's funny how cashiers often don't recognize what they are at first.

I watched last night's episode. I was interested because College H.U.N.K.S. was a company I'd actually used, a couple of times. I was very pleased with the service. A bit pricy, but worth it. It was a job I couldn't have done easily myself. The back story of the company's founding was interesting. They were looking for problems to solve, and came up with a couple of good solutions. The one guy's "disguise" was dreadful, but the other one was decent. Sob stories weren't too syrupy. That one location's bonuses were incredible!

I have heard Nickelback's "Photograph" many times; it's a favorite of the local radio station. I have no idea why anyone would hate them. I remember that making the news and being discussed when it happened. I don't know about now, but back then, Playboy did publish some good articles. Which was the joke: I only read Playboy for the articles.

Agree with most of above re:Beth. I’m not at all sure that Jamie had given the go-ahead for Beth to be sterilized. Did either one really understand what would happen? As to Kayce, not sure a rewatch would help at all. Just bizarre. Like how things are working out with Jim(my). Agree with comments about Beth. Yeah, Kayce’s vision quest is almost incomprehensible. One strong woman, Teeter, but that doesn’t begin to make up for the misogyny that characterizes the other women. I’ve seen plenty of “weak women” over decades of tv and movies, and lots of them were stronger and of better character than Beth.

We did something like that when we lived in Nebraska. Now we're in Eastern standard time, so that doesn't work anymore. I quite like the cranberry ginger ale, but the zero sugar version. I wish I could find some of the other flavors in zero sugar.

No, Ken and Mayim will both host through the end of the season, last I'd heard. https://www.jeopardy.com/jbuzz/news-events/mayim-bialik-and-ken-jennings-host-jeopardy-through-end-season-38

I’ve watched the first season of Call Me Kat, Mayim stars. I really enjoyed it, and I’m looking forward to season 2. Yes, there were cringe worthy moments, and some eye rolls too. Maybe it’s because I’m in the older, less desirable demographic, but this show is fun for me. “shrugs”
