Like @GrannySmith, I got behind and just couldn't catch up. And so close to the end 😭🤣 Oh well. I had a lot of fun up until then! Thanks everyone ☺️

4/5 Like many others it seems, just missed Tuesday. Last week at my pub trivia night, one of the answers was A Walk in the Woods, a movie adaptation of a book about walking the Appalachian trail, which I have even seen! So it was fresh in my mind. Spooky... 😉😂

4/5, no asterisk I once went on a Ghost Walk in Saint John, New Brunswick, and one of the "ghosts" was Loyalist hero Benedict Arnold...

4/5 with an * Just missed that body of water... it made sense once I heard the answer, but I don't think I would ever have come to it.

You may have been first, but I'm here to join you 😉 Zero for me, too.

4/5, 1* for Metaverse My date also knew Metaverse... because of the Neal Stephenson part of the clue?!!! I was impressed.

3/5, 0* I just came up with one Nobel Peace Prize winner... not quite enough! @ams1001 sorry about that migraine. Hope the Coke and ibuprofen, plus some food, do the trick!

2, with 1*. Happily, geography is usually a good category for me! Pierogies are on the menu this weekend, so I'll bring those to share 😋

3/5, one * At first I said Whirlpool, then thought "wait, there's a more obvious brand for that". Where did I even get the Whirlpool idea from in the first place?!!!! Anyway, fixed it in time 🤣

Wow, I am so far behind!!! Again! 4/5, no asterisk, for the clues I've quoted. I've just watched Monday's episode from last week so far. I'll report in when I get caught up 😁

4/5, 2* Didn't know any of that about Wyoming. Interesting! We'll see if I retain any of it 😂 @Mindthinkr both of those carpaccios look fantastic and now I'm hungry

Week of February 27: 2/5 Week of March 6: 2/5 Well, I'm consistent!!!! The port/state capital clue was one of those that I felt I might have gotten of I was alone, lol 😆 But I think I'd rather have the company. Maybe. In other news, I turned 41 yesterday, and I'm locking in my position of favourite aunt by getting gourmet donuts for my "birthday cake". So that's what I'm bringing here, too 😋

4/5 this week. And bonus: I had company over and he was very impressed when I came up with Guam 😊

2/5 Anytime I get Monday and Friday, I think "bookends". So it was a bookend week for me.

3/5 Barbed wire seemed so obvious in retrospect, and yet... no. Also missed Friday, so the week ended as it began 😂

Happy birthday!!! I believe you would have gotten those FJs... bday magic 😁😉

4/5, 1* As a non-American, I was very impressed with myself for getting Oregon/Nevada when none of the contestants did. And actually, impressed with everyone who got it, no matter where you're from. It was a hard clue!!

Wow!!!!!! I got 5/5 this week. Which I think means one *? I thought of the right biopic immediately today, wasn't 100% sure, but stuck with it, and it paid off. Phew!!!!!

3/5, 2* On Monday at first I said Ford, then "wait, no, Model T!!!" just in time. It was all very exciting 😂

I got so far behind!!! Finally catching up... Week of Jan 2: 2/5 Last week: 3/5, 1* On Friday, I guessed Elmore Leonard. I felt it was a pretty good guess!

3/5 Pretty good week!!! I was on my way to getting Grace and Frankie, too, but then the music stopped... Still, 3 is a very respectable score.

I knew because I once looked up why Eosinophils (a type of blood cell) are called that. To simplify, in the standard stain we use in the blood lab, they stain a beautiful pink-orange color, so they are named after the goddess of the dawn!!! This was never explained to me in school or training, but now I always tell new trainees and students. Reactions... vary 😂

4/5, and the *!!! No milk duds for me.

I said the same thing for the same reason 😆 Glad I wasn't alone! 2/5, no *

2/5, 1* I had company a few times while watching Jeopardy this week, and there were two other days that I should have gotten FJ, but didn't. I'm going to have to get used to it bc I HOPE to continue to have this company... ☺️ Now the other weeks when I got 2/5 (or 1, or 0), it was all me 🤣
