EricaShadows March 26, 2017 Share March 26, 2017 (edited) Just had to post but my local team, the Gonzaga Bulldogs JUST MADE THE FINAL FOUR!!!!! I think this is a first in team history. They've made the Elite 8 a few times, the Sweet 16 more than a few times, and have made it to the tournament, even more times, but WOO FREAKING HOO! Final Four here we come!!!! I don't watch the games of local teams like the Zags and the Seahawks because I don't want to jinx anything. Well, that and I don't have cable. I'm not a fan of nail-biting games, too much can go wrong. Edited March 26, 2017 by EricaShadows 2 Link to comment

Really don't know what to expect with the change from BBC 1 to Channel 4 but guess we'll have to wait and see. Paul Hollywood lives about 20 mins from my house, I used to work in a restaurant and I served him once ? omg that would be equal parts amazing and terrifying lol He is really interesting, and I love the way they'd talk through things together and give a sense for what was good and *why* it was good. Just such an amazing series, I'm hoping it picks up well in its new home but I just can't imagine the show without Mel and Sue - they *were* the show in so many ways. Link to comment
tobeyoungagain March 27, 2017 Share March 27, 2017 happy Monday girls! Is anyone else besides me totally exhausted? I've discovered a new show on Netflix that I binged on this weekend (sadly there is only one season and I'm not sure it's returning). It's a docu-series on competitive cheerleading called Cheer Squad. Anyone else a fan?? So exhausted. Why do I never feel well rested enough to brave the work week? Link to comment

EricaShadows March 27, 2017 Share March 27, 2017 I know what you mean, @tobeyoungagain. I didn't have a problem this past 15 months, but now, on the one hand, I REALLY don't want to go to work because TPTB are changing everything up on us without telling us what's going on until RIGHT before the weekend and on the other, I REALLY want to go because I not only really LIKE the people, I love the work and the atmosphere and the decision makes me exhausted just to think about it. 1 Link to comment

tobeyoungagain March 27, 2017 Share March 27, 2017 You guys ever have people in your lives who are so batsht crazy? They love to make chaos out of nothing and make everything a bigger deal than it needs to be. They love to get angry and even if it doesn't warrant it, they will stir things up or make a situation 50x worst than it needs to be just so they can be angry or just so they can make it a bigger deal than need be. It's actually borderline ridiculous. Do you guys know anyone like that? This is going to sound awful but sometime I look at her and I think .. dmn, this is why people disparagingly say women are too emotional smh 1 Link to comment

I didn't even know that the world champion of cheer came from Canada (or at least that division). Interesting how these girls decide to cheer professionally or competitively instead of for their colleges or high schools Link to comment

tobeyoungagain March 29, 2017 Share March 29, 2017 Anyone have any favorite snacks or food items from Trader Joes? I'm sitting here eating one of my beloved items -- the Unexpected Cheddar Cheese is what I think it's called. It's a cross btw cheddar and parm cheese. Super delicious and very affordable. Toss that in with some salami and crackers and mmmmmmmmm All TJ needs to provide is a jam or fig spread of sorts to go with it! Anyone else like jam or fig spread with cheese / crackers? Can I go home now??? Link to comment

It's been on my list of things to watch ever since it premiered, but I just haven't gotten around to it because I'm stuck in a constant loop of watching my favorite shows that I've already seen (currently "Dr. Who"). Glad to hear that you like it. All I've seen about it are professional reviews, and real world opinions are always nice. I actually just came on to ask if anyone here watches "Girls." My sister got me into it back in season 1, and I can't seem to break the habit even though I pretty much loathe all of the characters. It's such a vapid and indulgent show and doesn't reflect well on millennials at all (I am one, lol), yet I remain hooked. What is wrong with me? Link to comment

You know it's funny because right after I made that post I watched the episode where Hannah goes over to the writer's house and they face off about the article she wrote about him, and I thought it was actually a really excellent episode.

Oranaiche March 30, 2017 Share March 30, 2017 Okay @woodscommaelle you were so right. I've been binging on "Girls" this afternoon and I've watched everything except the most recent episode. This season is so good! I still despise Marnie, but Hannah is seemingly growing up. I need more Shosh -- she's always been my favorite and there've been a disappointingly small number of Shosh sightings this season. I'm feeling like a romantic rekindling is possibly being set up for her and Ray. Anyway, I'll shut up. My very best friend (her name is Hannah, heh) who I usually talk about "Girls" with hasn't started the season yet, and my sister is too busy being a mom and stuff. ? 1 Link to comment
woodscommaelle March 31, 2017 Share March 31, 2017 I am actually fascinated by Marnie simply for the fact that I don't 'think' I know anyone like her (even remotely) in my life. Shosh is great. I'm ok with her and Ray just being friends. Jessa and Adam make me cringe. They're doing VERY WELL in their roles. 1 Link to comment

I love Shosh and Ray as friends, but I also wouldn't be upset if the endgame was them being together. I think they work. Either outcome would be acceptable. I liked Jessa and Adam together at first, but they've definitely turned a bit volatile and it's hard to watch. Very curious how that is going to be wrapped up in only three more episodes. I'm watching the most recent episode now and the musical theater nerd in me freaked out over Andrew Rannells singing the song from "Smash." I adore him, and "Smash" was a guilty pleasure of mine when it was airing. Link to comment

Guest April 3, 2017 Share April 3, 2017 Kind of off topic but i love watching gymnastics! All I can really watch is SEC, and I love LSU, but I'd love to see Oklahoma since they're ranked #1 I'm a UCLA fan. I started watching them more this year knowing Maddie Kocian and Kyla Ross were on the team. I follow the team on snapchat and they have a really good glance into what practices are like for NCAA gymnastics. Link to comment
