secnarf April 5 Share April 5 3/5* Pretty annoyed about missing chemistry - I correctly identified Marie Curie and Linus Pauling as the two people referenced, knew Marie Curie was physics & chemistry, knew Linus Pauling got the peace prize, and then for some reason thought his other one was physics instead of chemistry. Of course it was chemistry for him!!! Don't know what I was thinking. I hit my head earlier on the dryer door, I think I shall blame it on that. 2 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/149216-season-41-final-jeopardy-contest/page/21/#findComment-8626745

I don't think I'll end up with a concussion, so that is good, though it was quite the hit. I have a stacked unit and when I opened the door, a sock fell on the ground. I bent down to pick it up and on my way back up, the door had swung shut a bit so that it was in the path of me coming up, and I smacked my head on it. I once gave myself a concussion while sitting at my desk at work, which took a year and a half to recover from. That's how clumsy and accident prone I am. 2 6 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/149216-season-41-final-jeopardy-contest/page/21/#findComment-8626781

We all have such songs, right? It's a lovely song, but sadly has a bad memory for me. I was auditioning (6th grade) for our class play, and after singing what I thought was a heart felt version, the teacher made a joke about it. I didn't sing out loud in front of anyone until I met my husband in my late 20s. :( (poor, poor, pitiful me - others have worse experiences) I still can't sing worth a damn, but I'm not humiliated by it anymore. 7 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/149216-season-41-final-jeopardy-contest/page/21/#findComment-8627084

Bliss Sunday at 05:48 PM Share Sunday at 05:48 PM My apologies for being MiA... but I have a really good excuse! On Mar 29th, just as I was here to post my weekly results, our power went out. We had an ice storm that was spread over lots of our province, and our hydro workers have been very busy repairing downed lines, poles, etc. The damage was horrendous and our area was declared a state of emergency. On Sunday, the mister and I took a drive and it was like being on another planet. Everything was coated in one-inch-thick ice. We just got our power back today. 9 days of no heat (luckily, we have a woodstove - and a cast iron frying pan!), no electricity, no internet, no water... it's been quite the journey. I am procrastinating cleaning out the frig and freezer by writing this ;-) For the week ended Mar 29, I had a great week - 4/5 and 2* For last week, I have 0 as I haven't watched tv since Mar 28! We've yet to get our satellite system up and running. On 4/5/2025 at 12:41 PM, shapeshifter said: “Over the Rainbow” is one of those songs that will always bring tears to my eyes. We all have such songs, right? Yes! My all time fave! Lots of favourite versions (Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole) and yet I have to say that Eva Cassidy's is the one I cannot hear without tears. I believe OTR was named the most popular song of the 20th century.

In 1963, my family's first winter in an unfinished suburb was like that. Dad, a former Eagle Scout, roasted hot dogs in our brand new fireplace. The ice permanently bent trees across the new, unfinished roads. My parents lived in that house for 23 years, but never saw an ice storm like it. 3 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/149216-season-41-final-jeopardy-contest/page/21/#findComment-8627763

I am a total theater/Wicked nerd, so the Boq/Munchkin question was an instaget. Sorry for the late reporting - I got hit with what looks like food poisoning over the weekend and am still in slow recovery mode so will forgo even virtual food this week.

They're just words that someone at some point decided to label as obscene. Even if you look at Judeo-Christian writings, the commandment says, "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain." So, if a devout person wants to say, "Oh my gosh," "Thank Heavens," or "Gosh darn it," instead of the obvious choices, I can accept that. The rest of the words, are anger management therapy as far as I'm concerned. 😄 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/149216-season-41-final-jeopardy-contest/page/21/#findComment-8630546
