I never went to the prom, but it wasn’t considered a big deal.

My late husband was half-Italian and really did have a cousin in the mob. Hubby’s name wasn’t pronounced the way it’s spelled but when I was making his burial arrangements the woman at the cemetery immediately knew what it was and proceeded to tell me all about “the family”.

Too true. You really have to watch out for edibles. I had a bad experience with brownies 40 years ago, and when I was given a brownie made with cannabis oil several years ago, every time I nibbled a bit, like Alice’s mushroom, I wished I hadn’t had so much and to keep out of trouble I could only lie on my bed and…

YMMV, but I groaned when I saw Elizabeth Mitchell, because I couldn’t stand her character on “Lost”. Thankfully her present character is a different person.

On the bus or train I would choose a volume of short stories rather than a novel or narrative. That way you can actually complete something during your trip.

If you’ve seen the viral video of a Japanese spectacled bear standing up in its zoo enclosure trying to catch snowflakes, you can understand why ancient/tribal people regarded bears as a kind of wild man.

Reminiscent of “Forbidden Planet”!

Glad I’m not the only one with that complaint. I had to stand in front of the television and squint. There is a certain arrogance of technology: “Just use the app on your smartphone” (don’t have one); “Just lie back and watch the splendid graphics on your big-screen TV” (have one, need teenager to hook it up).

“Days of Heaven”?

Please ask the guy’s wife/partner if I can pack for him. He’s got too much in there and the space is not utilized as well as it could be.

Does that mean I can have ice cream?

Okay, now I am trying to remember which movie it was where there was a terrible disaster or fire and the woman finally sees her man stagger out of the dust and she gasps, “I thought you were dead.” “Don’t make a big thing out of it,” he mutters, trying to be the strong man, but then he embraces her and says, “Make a…

I (not Jewish) was given my mother’s maiden name as my middle name but I always wanted it to be a “regular” name like Jane. Eventually I changed my first two names.

I noticed that unlike many other series I’ve watched, there have been no preliminary “Viewer discretion advised” announcements about the gore, violence, and “sexual situations” in this series. Perhaps AMC figures that if you’re watchng the network of “The Walking Dead” then you’re game for anything.

In all seriousness, I don’t care for the straggly-ends look. She needs a trim.

Gratias tibi!

Or maybe she passed them out to random people on the street.

Early explorers in small groups were known to hallucinate an extra person in their party. I have never been in the frozen Arctic myself, but hallucinations wouldn’t surprise me. (Actually, I would probably perish.)

Reminds me of of the opening of “Vikings”--ghostly, watery.

Not matzah, pita.
