Even later than you. My wife started watching this recently and I watch on and off. This show is so great. Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Martin Sheen and Sam Waterson. Hard to think of a better cast than that. I am struggling as to whether I can suggest this show for my parents, since it is a bit...

I try to put everything on a cc. When I do charge, it is on our AMEX, unless someone doesn't accept it. I love how we get a ton of points on everything. I also have as many bills as possible tied to that card.  As far as cash, I usually get $200 out of the bank from an ATM when needed, and give...

Not sure. Been busy, and will continue to be over the next several weeks.

@kutta, @Tusken Raider - Sent TR a PM. If he's ok, we'll exchange addresses!  :headbang: THanks!

Wasn't sure where to put this, figured this thread worked. The Beach Boys  - Wouldn't it Be Nice (vocals only) Beautiful.

In a normal year, my kids (12th, 11th, 8th) have 3" binders for each class, with their teachers printing copies of everything rather than giving them a textbook. For some reason, the kids feel like they need to carry every page with them all the time. For years, I have tried to get them to have...

In my kids' HS it's not that the school doesn't let them, it's just that the school is large and it would take too long to get back and forth. Part of me is glad they get this year off 'remotely' or else they would be walking around leaning to one side, since they carry such huge amounts of...

40% Canadian trios! ;)

Isn’t this similar to Target or a grocery store making a store-brand pain killer or cereal because the name brand one is selling well?

I noticed that as well.  I liked the filmed as well. I will have to dig up the article. I like the comparison to sports, I think this is a reason why they will do this more with musicals in the future, rather than just distant shots showing the stage. I agree that the ensemble and staging were...

We watch a bunch of HGTV shows, and I wonder how much of them are scripted, especially with the curious occurrences in every episode of some semi-disastrous event with the house that is being renovated. 

Read that LMM was given the option to have the spitting CGI'd out, but he wanted to keep it in to show how the King sang. Saw it once in the theater, and multiple times on Disney+ (my wife, like others in here ;) , has become a bit of a fanatic, listening to the soundtrack constantly. The...

We're looking also. One for my daughter and one for my wife. With everyone at home, more time spent in desk chairs!!

Countries rearranged by population. Shows countries rearranged so that area is proportional to population. (China is in Russia, etc.) ETA: you may want to d/l so you can zoom better.

Put this song in my top 5. Magic Power - Triumph Something's at the edge of your mind You don't know what it is Something you were hoping to find  But you're not sure what it is Then you hear the music  And it all comes crystal clear The music does the talking Says the things you want...
