I downloaded a free jigsaw puzzle app on my phone for mindless amusement (don't judge me). It works OK but has immersed me into an endless loop where they're trying to get me to download other apps - mostly for a game called Vita Mah Jong. Supposedly it's just wonderful for "elderly people" - I don't think I'm there yet. So that's peeve one. Peeve two is that while they are demonstrating how us elderly people will play the game, they play it wrong. They select tiles that are not on the edge and they'll match. Peeve three is that the major selling point for the app is "no intrusive advertisements!" While the intrusive add runs on and on before I can play my puzzle.

I got a Facebook notice that Netflix will stream the first episode this Friday. It's all happening!

Late as usual. I like it but it was weird.
The guy who plays Teddy can really sing!
Loved the exchange between Dove and Gilbert in the cell where she accuses him of being a pornographer and he says "I guess this is how all of your relationships end."
At at the pit - "I lost my sunglasses"

Is there a podcaster on the Blue team? Seems odd that they put one on Yellow and Red but none on Blue.

Bagging - I'm about to revert to what I did during the pandemic which was to say leave it all in the cart and bag it when I got back to my car. I'm picky.
You know where they have great baggers? The Army commissary at Ft. Leavenworth! We lived there for a year when I was a kid and my dad was stationed there. The baggers are all prisoners from the penitentiary who are working for tips. They're happy to be out in the world and want to please. My mother would turn herself into a pretzel to keep her body between them and us kids though.

And he was also on TV as an actor, so we're all good here. I remember him from Thirty Something but apparently he was also on Nashville and some TV movies.

They do the same cliff hangers on The Traitors and it just won an Emmy.
I'm wondering about them earning money for the pot. It's been several episodes since they competed.
Jack really blew it on his box reveal. He's lucky no one stole his.
I think it's filmed in New Mexico but that's based on nothing. They are all bundled up.
Look - I'm wrong! From MSN.COM:
The Round House, as it is referred to on the show, is actually called the Solo House in real life, and it is located in Matarranya, Spain. According to Home Edit, the Solo House is solar powered and has a water filtration system to make it completely self-sufficient as a home. It was built in 2017 by the architecture firm OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen. It's in an area that is mostly rural and two hours south of Barcelona. So, you know, perfect for the competition.
The property that appears to be the Square House is located in the same mountainous area in Spain. And apparently, these homes are part of what was a plan for 12 Solo Houses in the area. It's not totally clear what, if any, connection the Round House and the Square House have outside of The Anonymous, but they are both used as bases of operation for the players.
When Deadline reported on the show in April 2024, the outlet said that it was "set to film in Europe" at that time. It premiered in August 2024. Going by that rough timeline, it's safe to say that The Anonymous was filmed in Spain in the spring and early summer of 2024. But, as with other reality competition shows, not all of the contestants filmed for the same duration of time, depending on their eliminations.

Loved Peter O'Toole in that, but then I've loved him in everything.
I doubt there will be any connection other than that Sazz was a stunt person. There wasn't much of a connection betw the title of the last ep (Gates of Heaven) and the episode, was there? The cremated ashes, mourning the dead. That was it.
The other connection is that The Stuntman was filmed at the iconic Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego, which could be seen as a parallel to the Arconia.

I haven't read the books but it seems like they recast the leads just to indicate that they are different people than we have been watching all along. Could Elena be a bigger idiot? Her ex-husband has to tell her that the girls should be in school? And actually going back to Nino when she knows his wife is pregnant?
The part with the policemen was hilarious.

Hacks is most definitely a two-hander but I doubt Hannah will ever be submitted in the Lead category. HBO/ Max wants a chance at two wins. Also, while she's terrific, I don't think Hannah would beat Jean. I do still think she should have won last night. Liza Colon-Zayas wasn't featured as prominently in S2 of The Bear. I believe that her S3 performance was on the minds of TV Academy members during this year's voting period. There was an entire episode dedicated to Liza's character. Their votes should have been for her S2 performance, but you can't unsee how great she was in S3!
Bear Season 2 episode Pop was primarily about Liza Colon-Zayas' character doing a stage at another restaurant. She sang karioke with her co-workers.
I like Hacks a lot but it wasn't Hannah's year.

I don't think you need "in certain fandoms" in there. In general women are held to a higher moral standard than men in our society. The whole sluts vs locker room talk thing.

It was a scoregami! A score that has never occurred before in an NFL game.

Yeah, I am just stumbling around in this mess. My DD says just check to see if name is on deed, but I've just spent time on phone and online trying to find the deed to no avail w/o more info. I just found an old quit claim from when my mom and dad divorced and trying to see if I can get a parcel # somewhere on that.
I think a lawyer is the only way to go at this point. Knowing my brother, he has done everything he can do to make it seem I am unfindable.
You need an attorney who works in the county where the home is. He/she may recommend you hire a title company to search for the deed. That's what they do. They can also find out if your brother has taken out any loans against the home since your mother's death.
You should see if you have a copy of the actual will, not a handwritten version, since that may not be the very latest version. It's an unusual bequest - usually property is sold and proceeds split between the beneficiaries.

So just:

Why not:
... her brother, two years younger, will succeed
or even:
...her younger brother will succeed
I spend a lot of time editing the scientific papers of my employees. Many words need to be slashed.
succeed is a weird word

Who appoints First Desk? Judd?
No viewers thought River was really dead. The "intruder" had a different voice.
And of course Grandpa went to see Standish.

Jimmy Garappolo is an NFL quarterback, a very good looking NFL quarterback. He was the picture that someone flashed as a potential Tracy date.

On the other side to end credits, I miss a good opening fun theme song. Actual songs with words that you could sing along to, like The Jeffersons, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Gilligan's Island, the OC, Friends etc.
What We do in the Shadows has a great theme song! Lyrics and a catchy tune.

I hesitate to bring this up, but I think I've done it twice now....
Looking at the sports channel guide it shows "PBR Camping World" which in my brain translates to Pabst Blue Ribbon is sponsoring some kind of camping competition. What could it be? So, I turn it on and it's the rodeo!
Professional Bull Riding sponsored by Camping World. I'm disappointed.

This is funny, but in the end I usually opt for not mentioning it, as it's awkward and embarrassing for the speaker.
I agree generally, but when I went into the Y to exercise and they had a big poster up about their new children's Marital Arts classes, I did say something.

Chit-Chat: What's On Your Mind Today?
in Everything Else
Because it's hard to read lengths off the ruler in a photo unless the ruler is very high contrast. And people aren't very good at being told a measurement and then being able to visualize how big that is. If you tell me something is 3 inches long and I don't have my ruler handy, I'm going to use the second joint on my pointer finger to measure out the distance - I won't just know.
Better to show the object with something common that everyone can relate to.
