  1. Thanks @Mittengirl, I just checked in to see if this show was coming back. It's the only thing I watch on Acorn currently now that Vera has moved over to Britbox, so I will keep my subscription for the time being.

    I just watched the replay of the Mixed Doubles final, congratulations to that creative genius Hsieh-Su Wei on her 7th major title. For anyone who hasn't seen it and has ESPN plus, i recommend the replay. She is something else to watch. Hope she will be able to take the women's doubles as well. By the way I recognized Paul McNamee her coach and former Aussie doubles champ in her box. Yes I'm old. Hoping for two good singles finals. As far as the women go I'm not a Sabalenka fan so will be rooting for Zheng.
  3. Maybe if you email the photo to yourself you will find that it automatically shrinks? I sometimes see that happening when I share photos of mine by email with my family.
  4. RIP Melanie, I really liked Candles in the Rain. Not only Melanie, but Mary Weiss, the lead singer of the Shangri-Las, has died as well.   I can still remember hearing their teenage angst records on the AM radio way back in the day. Not just Leader of the Pack but Remember, and I Can Never Go Home Anymore. RIP Melanie and Mary.
  5. That seems to be standard for Tuna Melts in my local NYC diners. I order them from Gemini Diner who make a very good one though I ask for rye bread and Swiss cheese and usually save about 2/3 of the tuna to make wraps with it for the following two nights.
  6. The whole Secret Santa brought back an old office memory to me. A *long* time ago I was working as a legal proofreader and we had a Secret Santa draw. I was stiffed. By a very gossipy typist. The irony? We had drawn each other. I did get her something. As far as I remember, that let to Secret Santa being discontinued there!
  7. @oliviabenson can you return those headphones? I've never used the bluetooth kind but it sounds like they are defective.
  8. I just saw the State Farm ad where Jimmy Fallon pops up out of nowhere. It took me a couple of views to think what? I admit I'm not a fan but isn't he all over TV enough already?
  9. So very sorry for Stephen, I just saw the headline and was so scared. Thankful for the care he is getting.
  10. I was going to be going to a family get together today for Thanksgiving but canceled on Monday because my vasculitis has returned and between my feet being swollen and having some kind of stomach ache (maybe due to the medications, maybe not) I didn't feel it made sense to go to a holiday that is centered around eating. A lot. This is the 4th time in a row I've missed Thanksgiving with family, the first 2 were due to Covid precautions, then last year one of us got Covid. I am just going to sleep late and try not to stress so feel okay with that. Hope you all have a nice one!
  11. @shapeshifter your images look lovely. My only experience recently is with a company called Presto Photo, I made a small square soft cover book of some of my photographs with them two years ago. It would cost about $15 to make it again (it was 20 pages). I liked the print quality although mine were black and white so I don't know about doing color.
  12. In regard to Irish food, I have visited Ireland twice the last two years - Donegal and Galway, and what I love the most is the Irish Brown Bread and the Seafood Chowder, neither of which I can get here in the US. I believe the brown bread uses a different kind of wheat flour than ours? And seafood chowder is so wonderful but no one around here seems to think it's worth the bother of making it. The one other place I've been that consistently has it seems to be Newfoundland, perhaps the idea came with their Irish immigrants. There seems to be an Irish bar every few blocks in Manhattan but you seem to more likely to see nachos on the menu than the food I liked in Ireland! Of course they have good fish and chips which you can get here, but I should add that their scones are so much better than the hard sugary ones they have in NY. I agree though that I don't remember anyone in my family having a recipe handed down from Ireland, though my grandmother who was born there lived on a farm in the Midwest, so far away in every sense.
  13. Thanks so much @Rinaldo for the alert for Man's Castle. I saw that film ages ago, it must have been in a revival house, and I still remember it vividly. I am a big fan of Frank Borzage.
  14. I see people have been commenting on the new setting for the Noir Alley intros/outros. I always watch "Ask Eddie" on Youtube, and in the latest installment he explained that it is indeed a cost cutting move by TCM. However Eddie will now be filming at a local bar that he is a fan of, whose owners have agreed to let him film there on their night off. He does admit that he's at least happy about not having to travel to film the segments anymore!
  15. Congratulations @PRgal! I hope your book will be a great success. Maybe I missed it but how did you arrange working with the illustrator? Did you already know each other?
