Most of the major characters are played by actors who are younger and better looking than in the books, but that’s show biz. Luckily the authors, as executive producers, get to approve every hire.

So it looks like Bull (Jose Zuniga) won’t be their pilot. Too bad... it was nice while it lasted.

But all the Frostee Treats you could eat!

I haven’t been in the business end of an ambulance, but I was in the back seat of a police car (not restrained or under arrest). It was fine. They gave me a cigarette. Not an experience I’d like to repeat, though.

Or the last row of a Greyhound, right next to the restroom.

No, it is not. I live down the street from a cemetery, which has a sign forbidding jogging, biking, or dog-walking. Walk briskly on the paths if you like, but if you wouldn’t sit on a tombstone or do laps in a cathedral, don’t be disrespectful to the dead.

Hubby used to put a couple of capers in his vodka instead of an olive. You can substitute them for cocktail onions, too. Handy, since I don’t know where they keep the cocktail onions at the supermarket.

I got one of those when I was 12. It’s what got me hooked on perfume.

One year my husband gave me a dustpan, which I still have.

If she’s in the new season of The White Lotus I guess we’ll find out how Tonya’s relationship with the dying Greg went. I must say hers was the character I most identified with, even though I am not a “psychotic alcoholic,” as she called herself.

Cottage cheese is interesting, too.

In some schools that is quite possible, or the librarian might have to be a sort of circuit rider who works at multiple schools.

What I want, but won’t get, is less shooting and more making out.

Same with clothing. Everyone is a) in military uniform, b) dressed in flowing robes, c) dressed like medieval peasants, except for Admiral Purple Hair who wore an evening gown for no reason.

I grew up with Disney. I remember Walt! So “Disney + leader of a crime syndicate” is a little hard to get my head around.

Nope - according to the American Library Association’s bill of patron rights, only the parents can dictate what a child can or cannot read, and patrons’ records are private unless there is a subpoena (or if the Patriot Act is involved). Librarians are gently explaining this to Mr. Thaker, I am sure.

The first live-action Hollywood movie I saw (with my parents) was The Vikings with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis. I was 6.
