  1. Join Lucy Worsley on a journey across Europe to visit the incredible locations where royal history was made. From the Spanish Armada to the French Revolution, learn how royal history is a mixture of facts, exaggeration, manipulation and mythology. I recently watched Queen Anne: The Mother of Great Britain from this series. I'd seen The Favourite with Olivia Colman, and found the additional information in this episode interesting. I plan on watching more episodes of the series as I'm able.
  2. I just subscribed to Acorn to watch this! I'll probably find other programs on Acorn to watch, but if not, I'll cancel after I've finished this. I watched the first episode this afternoon. I remember enough from Seasons 1 & 2 to follow, but I may watch them again.
  3. Week 37: 1/5, no * YTD: 73/1850, eleven *, two C *
  4. I really missed Call the Midwife last night; can't wait for Grantchester. That's what I like on a Sunday night! I like The Equalizer when it's not over-the-top ridiculous. This show wasn't that. Aunt Vi/Dee's story line was good, though.
  5. Well done! I'm at a solid 40%. 🥺
  6. Week 36: 3/5, no * YTD: 72/180, eleven *, two C *
  7. I knew Lamar hadn't taken the envelope with the money! I get why the suspicion fell on him, but why jump to conclusions of the worst kind immediately?
  8. Catching up from last week, sorry... Week 34: 1/5, no * YTD: 67/170, eleven *, two C * And current week... Week 35: 2/5, no * YTD: 69/175, eleven *, two C *
  9. When I married in 1989, in a Presbyterian Church, my wedding couldn't be during Lent. I don't know if that was a local church things or for all PCUSA congregations.
  10. Is there a thread anywhere here re: coronation coverage? I watched most of my recording from a local PBS station this afternoon, and hoped to find a place to discuss it. Anyone else watch?
  11. I agree; not a fan of the season-ending cliffhangers. It was a gripping episode, weird masks, riddle, and all. Happy the babies are OK. Nolan/Bailey will have quite the mess to clean up in their house! Confusing how Aaron/Celina were targeted, since they were off duty, out of uniform, and just out for an evening. Had they and the rest of the crew been stalked for a while? It seems so, and I get how they could be targeted at their homes/apartments.
  12. The one currently running is mac and cheese and chicken and cheese, so definitely lots of cheese.
  13. Week 33: 3/5, three * YTD: 66/165 eleven *, two C * Me too!
  14. If they aren’t joint, she’ll have more difficulty accessing them. Takes time to sell a house and get cash out, and where do they go until then? It takes a while to work through the legal system. Until things are more settled, her access to cash & accounts will be restricted, and some cash will no doubt be useful. He seemed nice enough at first meeting, so I’m glad Aunt Vi knew what to look for and was persistent. I’m not sure that if her son hadn’t been hit, she would have left when she did. I enjoyed Robyn’s time with Delilah. D is young and has a lot to learn. So Dante took care of Lolo, but not quite the best outcome. I don’t think his boss will be pleased.
  15. @mansonlamps I was sleepy/tired all the time, couldn’t get through a day without a nap, and I snored something fierce. After other things were ruled out, like thyroid, my doctor suggested having a sleep study. I was waking up a lot, 17 times or so an hour, and would never get into REM sleep. So yes, tell your doctor(s) about your sleep schedule experience and ask what might help.
  16. Week 32: 1/5, no * YTD: 63/160 eight *, two C * For the Emily Dickinson quote, I could remember feathers, but not hope.
  17. I’ve used a CPAP for years. I got way too much relief from it to skip a night. I even use it when I nap. The smaller ones cost as much as a bigger one, so not everyone can get a separate travel one. The kids wouldn’t have been disturbed without Ava’s alien descriptions. I felt sad for Janine. Maurice was so unkind. But I’m glad she and Gregory talked and have a better understanding. Very glad the show avoided the “misunderstanding for laughs” trope. I’ve never been to Philadelphia, but the museums sound incredible! I love museums.
  18. I did a little search, and came up with this one: Timebound by Rysa Walker. "When Kate Pierce-Keller’s grandmother gives her a strange blue medallion and speaks of time travel, sixteen-year-old Kate assumes the old woman is delusional. But it all becomes horrifyingly real when a murder in the past destroys the foundation of Kate’s present-day life. Suddenly, that medallion is the only thing protecting Kate from blinking out of existence. Kate learns that the 1893 killing is part of something much more sinister, and her genetic ability to time travel makes Kate the only one who can fix the future. Risking everything, she travels back in time to the Chicago World’s Fair to try to prevent the murder and the chain of events that follows." Doesn't sound like what you described, however. Apparently it was originally released as Time's Twisted Arrow.
  19. I did some googling and I'm not sure it has a name yet. Found his site here: https://reedsy.com/dan-ciarrocchi. It says "...he wrote— and is currently producing and directing—a nine-episode, historical-fiction satire podcast about the 1893 World Fair." The last line refers to "future" plans to release his podcast. But no title. I read the book about the world’s fair of 1893 and the serial killer, The Devil in the White City. Might be interested in the podcast, though I seldom listen to podcasts.
  20. I watched this afternoon, Paramount+, and enjoyed it. I don’t have strong feelings one way or the other re: Brady. Love Fonda & Tomlin in Grace & Frankie. In that, Fonda doesn’t look as over-plasticized as she did in this movie. Part was the hair & makeup. They were all so good in this! Age range of the four is 76 to 91 now. Pretty amazing.
  21. Week 31: 1/5, one * YTD: 62/155 eight *, two C *
  22. I got Tuesday’s FJ. For Wednesday’s I knew “cruel & unusual” but not the number of the amendment.
  23. I have no idea what you're talking about. From another book or another show?
  24. Week 30: 2/5, one * YTD: 61/150 seven *, two C *
