Orcinus orca

The Kitchen Front by Jennifer Ryan is an interesting look at wartime rations and how the women had to adjust accordingly. So far, the shortages don't seem to have affected Skeldale House. I did gasp when that plane went over, hoping it wasn't going to end up with a tragedy. Hopefully they will not end up being bombed at some point.

I think a lot of it is the fact that they are using a doll in a lot of the scenes. The hat is a way to disguise that.

I am pretty good as well, 45 years of deciphering the handwriting of doctors from all over the world.

Hilarious! I have to see if that program is streaming somewhere.

Oh, how wonderful! They really knew how to write moving narratives back then. That sounds like a real treasure.

I signed up to do that years ago. You can pick categories but a lot of the stuff that needs translation is pretty dull. You end up transcribing bills of lading or county records, for instance, not Lincoln's speeches for example. Still, it's a way to help out with history although I never had anything remotely interesting.

Because, it the plot hole big enough to hold Antarctica, scientists study but do not interfere with what they study. In no way would anyone with a background appropriate for them to do research in Antarctic be allowed to interfere with nature's process. I'm not saying they may have a favorite, say, penguin and even name it but interfering with the natural process is strictly forbidden. Not only was Emma one of the most idiotic characters ever ("I know I am on the ship illegally but I just GOTTA go running around the decks even though I know I shouldn't") but a really crappy actress.

I used to set my watch ahead and hide the house clocks.

Polar Opposites was patently absurd from the get go. I finally muted it hoping for some nice scenery but got badly done CGI instead. Entirely unrealistic doesn't begin to cover it.

Oh, goody, I guess the wedding is on the agenda for Sunday. What wedding, you ask? You heard that David and Christine are getting married, right? Years ago, you say? Already saw the wedding in full, you say? TLC seems to think every viewer is a total imbecile to put up with this crap.

It's the fastest assessment to determine whether or not you will be a quadriplegic for the rest of your life. Moron.

I think it depends on how thoroughly each doctor follows the CMS recommendations. Mine is a stickler for the whole package including questionnaires on hearing, living situation, and a depression screening. Not only did I have to do the clock, she gave me three words to remember and asked me to repeat them at the end of the exam. She was impressed that I remembered not only those from this visit but from last year as well.

Precisely. She had a friend do it. She couldn't bring herself to physically cut him out of her life, even now. I don't think she is doing all that much disentangling on the off chance he suddenly sees the light.

There are umpteen different ways the quilt plot could have gone. But the bottom line is that Meri still loves Kootie and will do anything he asks. If he reversed course and asked her to come live in the mega-mansion, I'd bet the farm that she would do it.

I did the same thing, gotta have those numbers evenly spaced!
