My dad was one of the World War II soldiers who were transported on the Queen Mary. The only thing he ever told me about it was recalling the vomit coursing down the stairs. He blamed the mutton.
We toured the Queen Mary when it was docked in Long Beach? Saw the barracks was interesting and sorta shocking. We spent the night on it too. My husband mumbled under his breath the whole time for spending the night on a ship not going anyplace ! Go well we went to Catalina Island next day. I was always in charge of getaways.

I just found this forum and didn’t know ELR was playing anywhere. I went to Netflix and Amazon so it’s on Peacock on my cable service which I’m not willing to add to my 3 streaming channels. I’d especially like to see The Contractor one since we were in the audience. It was interesting how the crew took pictures of the kitchen down to the last detail in order to put it all back exactly.
I can picture Patrica sitting long faced during breaks and Brad came over and chatted with the audience. They also brought in a slice of pizza. Good times.-

We’re not done with them yet. Last Resort is up next. It must be a 90 DF record to be on so many seasons in a row. Then there’s still Single Life after they inevitably split up
Did I hear the brilliant Jasmine say alligators are her favorite animals or was I hallucinating?

Just happened: I have delivery instructions with Amazon to leave packages under stairs to side of my door because I’ve had a thief off my porch. I have a case of a protein drinks I can’t get in the stores and cases of dog food and they’ll put them right up against my screen door so I can’t get out in addition to being in full view. .( door swings out) Ok I get it they don’t read instructions via Amazon.
Today I left an envelope with Amazon written on it and put it middle to low on my screen door with a gift card for In and Out Burgers and a note to please put packages out of sight. It’s 7:30 my Ring notification motion goes off and my dog starts barking. I watch as he takes a picture and notices the envelope grabs it and walks down my sidewalk and opens it. He left them smack up against my screen door. If it were me and I read the note I’d walk back and move the boxes out of sight. Guess I have to stay home when I’m expecting Amazon. It was this exact time of night when a package was stolen and I watched it happen while in the checkout at the grocery store. Makes me crabby.

I envy you all for your traveling. I look daily at solo trips as my best friend has been radio silent since his husband came into an inheritance and we would go someplace together when that happened.
I have GI issues Yeah No and was surprised the bracelet that sends little shocks up to your fingers/ palm worked for me.. do I understand that nausea from cruising has to do with how big the ship is and weather etc? The one cruise husband and I went on an agent arranged it and didn’t mention it was storm weather in Mexico and although we were on a great cruise line it was their smallest one. I didn’t get nausea and my husband wore that patch behind his ear and had no nausea.

Okay, so, the "Should you financially support your adult children?" conversation got off track so fast. Yes, Joy, we know. You don't like Trump. I don't either, but I don't feel the need to bring him up in every conversation. Sunny made it about race for some reason, though (per usual) only mentioned black and white people, as if other races don't exist, which in this case is really odd since the racial group with the highest average income in the US is Asian people. And then everyone else got about one sentence in before they cut to commercial. Like, how hard would it be for them to just state things such as, "I support my kids through college, then they're on their own" or "I would let my adult child move back in with my, but on the condition that they have some form of job and pay rent".
That was confusing because I was wondering if Whoopi was going to chronicle her support of her daughter.and her granddaughter etc.
Good point about different cultures. Many cultures the kids don’t move out and eventually take care of their parents.
i am watching Daniels in American Rust and certainly will catch this next one. What a career he’s had
The segment with Mya and her mother has me all watered up.

That all sounds intriguing!

I thought it had to do with the brides white dress? Did the grooms dress in white?

This is a very valuable skill. It's very useful to be able to co-opt the people on the other end of the line and get them on your side. You don't have to be right, just get a result.
I am hard of hearing and wear aides. I plead with my cable company to not be transferred to an Indian call center because no matter how many times I say I’m hard of hearing and my aides are not syncing to my phone for some reason it’s no use. ( I have them on speaker) Plus they have a script and really don’t give a crap about “customer service”. I wrote down the 6-7 names of specialists they transferred me to. Technicians are a different experience though ,maybe paid more? Always solve the problem and are patient and pleasant. I am always courteous until that 7th transfer. Same script.
I did not go to Disneyland until my first marriage honeymoon at 20. Growing up we were working class living check to check. We watched Disney on Sundays and watched movies. I went to Disney World because my late husband had business in Florida and it was fun I think because I enjoyed EPCOT
My son married a woman who is Disneyland crazed, her whole family is and she’s one of 8 and just her dad worked so I believe the numerous times she’s gone were as an adult. A month before my husband died he wanted to take my son and daughter in law and toddler grandsons to Disneyland. I felt bad I didn’t know he liked Disneyland after we’d been married 35 years. He became too sick so it didn’t happen. Once I moved back home I took them all in remembrance of my husband .
As many times as my daughter in law had gone she’d never stayed at the Disneyland Hotel ,only motels. I was so pleased I was able to do that as well as it was the little guys first trip. It was crazy though with needing to be at Plutos (?) kitchen at 7:30 in the morning and it was a non stop pace. One morning I got into the shower with my socks on. I felt like there was Temple Grandin in place with the long long lines. I have to admit catching my 3 year old grandson singing and bobbing his head in it’s a small world made my heart happy. I couldn’t figure out how he knew it but mom (a teacher ) prepped him on what the visit would be like I think she explainedMy son doesn’t get it at all . Not at all. He went to his share of theme parks as a kid with my ex who I used to call Disneyland Daddy. My sons brother in law that goes numerous times a year (lives for it but don’t think he has a morgage but does have 2 kids in college)
My daughter-in-law said regarding that Disney cruise that goes to every Disney location she’d go in a heart beat even if it was 24 days long and is $115,000 a person.
There are so many places I’d love to see and even go back to ,like Denmark and England. So I’m scratching my head over just going to Disneyland. .
I’ll end my ramble with if I got invited to go with my family to Disneyland I’d go just to be with them and be somewhere off my block. Heck they invited me to see Ghoastbusters Sunday and I said I’d look at trailer and let him know , although it didn’t appeal to me at all I went . I nodded off a couple of times. The soon to be 12 year old said he thought the movie might be for adults because of nostalgia.-

Haleth you should have a great time seeing Jim. My husband and I saw him years ago in San Fransisco and was so bizarre that as we’re going in purses went on tables and searched ,people separated ( we are old folks) and patted down. Jim at the time was the cleanest comic around. Most comics we saw were very off color. I finally figured out much later must be that the theater was one that had hard rock bands play etc., because who is going to sneak drugs or alcohol into Jim’s show? During his act he said he looked like a Mormon on a mission and was not just pale he was iridescent white. His act has changed a tad last time I watched a special.
I’ve always liked John too. Will be watching.Geez the music is so loud during favorite things I couldn’t hear them talking goodness knows I might need something!

I enjoyed it as I knew I would because she’s one of my favorite stand up comedians. I had tickets to see her and COVID happened was so disappointed, hotel even booked.

Now roomie made me turn most of the lights off and is moaning about not getting meds to sleep. I may be dead by next Sunday. This woman is batshit crazy and irritating!
I was in the hospital for 5 days a year ago and it was like One Flew over The Cuckoo Nest.

This discussion brought back a memory about TWOP. I think when things were becoming difficult a poster I liked and chatted with told me to go check out Crown Princess MarieChantal of Greece where she also posted. I decided to see if it was still around and it is. Needless to say I didn’t remember my user name but changing my password the confirmation email said it. They had a forum for TWOP and where posters stopped in 2018 I skipped to the end where someone mentioned a moderator(? ) Strega had passed away.
I recognize few names there.-

Heh, I only figured out what TWoP's "boards on boards" meant here on PT in the last year or so. At least, I think I figured it out. It means talking about how the site is moderated? But since I never knew what it meant on TWoP, I can't speak to specifically what constituted a minor or a ban-able infraction there.
I think maybe any use of words like "TVWoP" or "site" triggered investigation, LOL.
I got a demerit once when I posted on a popular TV show episode thread about an hour after the episode aired —
Probably Lost? I had to work until 10 p.m. on Wednesdays
— and there were already about 30 pages of comments, and I had the foolish audacity to preface my post with something like "I've only read the last 5 pages of posts…."I hadn't felt so bad since my first grade teacher told the class that everyone who was not in their seat had to go and put their heads down on their desks for 10 minutes.
I was banned for the same reason and was devastated. Think I even said I’ve only read last three pages because I have to go out the door. Gone I was.

Who gave unsolicited advice on how the parents should approach the kids dwarfism? When did this occur? I'm confused about this statement.
A poster indicated that at least Amy should say something to them regarding dwarfism
I just rewatched one and at least Caryn confessed to her friend that she always inserts herself too much and it doesn’t turn out well, so she’s learning boundaries. Too late I’d say. Yet she’s bewildered why they aren’t coming to the event? Funny her ring was suppose to be a promise ring.
Chris is a good guy speaking up for his wife ,she’s had a lifetime of a guy who had to be right at all times and kept her in the dark about money and his relationship with an employee. He has a calm demeanor which is needed and pleasant to watch.
Early in this show/ series way back Matt said spending time with his family is a waste of his time so he’s created his relationship with his sons.

I loose pens in addition but now have a rescue dog who finds them and chews them to bits. Can’t count the times this ole lady has to get on the floor with my flashlight to see what he’s chewing under the bed.
I’ve had to move so many times in the last few years and with all the packing and unpacking I started carrying one of my late husbands large collection of Swiss knives in my front pants pocket.
He always had a mechanical pencil and pen in his shirt pocket when I first meet him.-

I haven’t watched the whole program yet but found Cameron heart story fishy. He said most people can respond to medication but he was going to have surgery as he’s sitting in the car at the hospital?
I have a heart condition diagnosed about my late 20s. When my tachycardia went on for several hours my mother and RN made my ex take me to ER.
I was given a injection that brought my heart back into rhythm. The injection made me feel like my heart was stopping or I was fainting but instantly back in rhythm after hours to exhaustion. Mine is a defect ,a leak and I’ve been on different meds for it but not a tranquilizer that he made it sound like he was at his maximum that he could take. Is he showing an EKG showing his heart coming to a stop and paddles being used? BS.
This is the most toned down attire Michaels has worn.
According to this cast the show should throw in the towel.-

Unless something changed, Lopez was on yesterday.
Sorry I was agreeing with Bronzedog .
i didn’t see any posts for Monday not realizing the protests were everywhere and just watched about the mess on the Golden Gate
I enjoyed Michael Douglas, saw him on another talk show in the evening.

Well my neck of the woods the show wasn’t on because of a protest that locked down a bridge for hours and hours.
I’m not sorry because don’t care for Lopez and comedians are my favorite people on earth

Caryn is extremely agreeable and does her best to get along with everyone and promote peace. That's why ZiT's implied accusation that she did or said something horrific in that meeting is laughable.
He felt she had no business being at the meeting let alone putting her 2 cents in.
As mother in law myself I would not give my unsolicited opinion on how the parents should approach their kids dwarfism. -
I read the post from moderator before closing site and don’t understand why strict posting rules yet other sites every single post is slamming and swearing at the shows participants.
please message me with alternative

I’m not sure where to post this but I started watching last night because it got taped on my DVR, a show called Ultimate Couples hosted by podcasters Sarah Colonna ( stand up comedian) and a Mary Radzinski.
The hosts talk and show their takes on the best/ worst different moments from all seasons .it’s probably too long for most but does have some updates.

I'll come home from these dates sometimes and say....well that was a waste of expensive makeup lol.
Do we know for sure it's Leslie? If so, I'll root for her, although I, too, didn't love her sexy dance. Cringe.
My late husband had an single employee who had a date she was looking forward to ( think it involved a concert) it was so long ago I don’t remember what was wrong with the guy but she said the next day “ I shaved my legs for that? “

I looked it up since I hadn’t heard of that station and it says “TV land is the programing for consumers in their 30s and 40s, with original series and acquisitions” only showing Mike and Molly but I looked on guide and the Contractor one is on Tuesday thanks!
