I didn’t catch John’s issue, but Dennis talked about the opioid crisis. What was John’s? Some viewers really love 💗 her, too!

When Beth mentioned her missing earrings, I thought maybe one of their girls had "borrowed" them, and they should check to see if they know anything. But when Randall's cufflinks were also missing, out of a box, that's when I began to believe that the burglar had actually been upstairs. I first thought that Randall hadn't closed the front door, or maybe had forgotten to lock it, and that's how the guy got in. But then they talked about getting a window (?) fixed. Think how guilty Randall would feel if he had neglected to close/lock the front door!

Description from imdb.com: Rudy's legal problems, and failure to disclose to Constance, just kept getting him in trouble deeper and deeper. However, I thought he was from the area, so wouldn't Constance already be aware? To cruise or not to cruise? The back and forth from Kay...why did she insist on a cruise, and then back out once Beau said he would go? I didn't understand that part. Mike and Rio have a long way to go to becoming farmers. My dad was a farmer. He wouldn't have lasted in farming two seasons if he was doing things the Mike way. I suppose, sit-com humor, but I didn't think it was very funny.

I didn't know Alda was in the Second City troupe, so I was trying to think who else on M*A*S*H was in Second City. On the other hand, Catherine O'Hara was an instaget for me. The show would have to be twice as long to give me enough time to suss them out! Like others, I knew Secretary of State, but thought of Treasury and couldn't get past that to figure out Attorney General. And Edmund Randall was a member of the famous Randall family from Williamsburg!

I've watched the first two episodes of this season. First up was Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar, which I've never heard of. Impressed with the shrimp boat experience, but overall didn't seem like I'd enjoy the restaurant. Next one was Anytime Fitness. Going to a gym, any gym, doesn't appeal to me. However, the segment with the older folks class looked pretty good. The guy in the middle segment was not someone I'd want to work with, and I think she did right by him. On another note, do you think any of the staff is fooled for a minute with the horrible "transformations?" Some aren't too bad, but most I've seen over the years are dreadful. I might not know who it is really, but I'd be side-eying, wondering who the heck that is.

Still, 6 hours work! We used to have DirectTV, had to switch to cable due to a line of sight satellite issue. But that’s a whole other story.

Regarding "troth," it was used in traditional wedding vows. When I was planning my wedding in 1989, I was researching vows. I'd heard Pledge thee my troth before, but didn't really know what is meant. It boils down to promising to be faithful. We used Church of Canada vows. We were married in the First Presbyterian Church in Old Cowtown, Wichita, by a Presbyterian minister. DH was Episcopalian, and I was Presbyterian. Our minister had to agree to use the Church of Canada vows. "I take you to be my wife/husband; to laugh with you in joy; to grieve with you in sorrow; to grow with you in love; and to be faithful to you alone as long as we both shall live."

I hadn’t heard the Oliver’s story line will be ongoing. I was worried about the caller hanging up. I like Katie’s home business, but I want her hair pulled back when’s she making lasagne. Also with Anna-Kat; she should have washed her hands before grabbing a handful of cheese to put on the lasagne. Oh Trip! Trust exercise! Never change!

I despise the Unstoppable commercial with the older woman with the slicked back pale blond hair who goes into ecstasy at the fresh scent. Weird new age music too.

Is anyone else seeing the gross ear wax ad that's showing up on here? Why would they think something that gross would sell their product, whatever it is?

Very interesting! Thanks for the link!

I saw the tickets announcement on my PBS station during the holidays. I just now went to the site and registered for Williamsburg. I have no idea what I'll bring if I get tickets. We went to Des Moines in 2000 and brought a china clock and a cookie jar, and my husband brought a silver plated inkwell and (if I remember correctly) another silver inkwell. Nothing was worth much, but we had a great time. We learned a little about the items. At that time, each ticket holder could bring two items. A guy in line with us brought some dolls that his grandmother owned. We're in a couple of frames near the end of the broadcast.

Overall, I liked the episode. However, Miles confronting his father's friend sounded like an accusation and annoyed me. You don't just blurt out, "I know you're behind the God Account" with basically no proof, just a hunch you have.

I thought that too. I got Lawrence Welk. My Mom was young when he was starting out. Mom got to go hear/see him & his band in some of the Midwest (Kansas, Nebraska) dance halls. She and Dad always watched his TV show. Happy Ken won, sad it’s over.

Cracker Barrel serves a Marion Blackberry jam that's really good. I didn't realize they were also called Marionberries, though.

No, it wasn't. There were some plants mentioned, and one of them was a variety called Crystal Palace. I learned about the Crystal Palace on the "Victoria" series shown on PBS, in the episodes that covered the creation and opening of the Great Exhibition in 1851.

Well, the title is Carol’s Second Act. Wouldn’t be much of a show without her. I like the rest of the ensemble characters, and I think they all work well together. Doesn’t Carol have another child? I seem to remember her mentioning two children, but I’m not sure. I could use less time on the pharma rep daughter, but her “date” didn’t work well, so maybe we’ll see less of her. Love Nurse Dennis!

Friday January 10 Category: His Own Museum, $1,200 clue A museum devoted to this scientist and inventor is housed in what was originally the Tuskegee campus laundry. Fun fact: he lived for a brief time in Minneapolis, Kansas, where I graduated high school several decades later.

I knew Merkel and several others that I can't recall at the moment. On FJ, I first thought forensic, but then thought "be more specific," which led to fingerprints. Good for me!

Very happy with my Jeopardy! Calendar! It’s a page a day. Fun!

A lot of wrong responses tonight. Shaun was so douchey in the intro. Not too bad as a player, but geez!

As soon as the cameras and darkroom were mentioned, I'm thinking, find the photographic evidence! Eventually, they did, but why did that not occur to any of them sooner?!!!

Great games! Happy with Ken’s winning the the first set tonight. The three have a camaraderie that can’t be faked, and love seeing Alex up there doing so well. Lots of correct answers, some I knew, others, well, no.
