Post by: elmore3003 on April 13, 2023, 03:39:18 AM: I slept very badly. My body responded badly to too much sugar in a can of crushed pineapple and I swear I needed a bathroom break every 30-45 minutes. My last bathroom run was around 3:30, and I finally got about two hours of uninterrupted sleep.

I see a lucrative new national sport in the offing:

"Make the HHW'er Groan!"

Kind of a digital version of dunking the clown at the carnival.

And don't leave money on the table! Make it a paid subscription service -- after suckering them in with a couple of free rounds, of course. OMG, just wait till Twitter gets ahold of this...

I just received a new shipment. They are out of the milk chocolate squares, which are my favorite, so I was forced to try a couple new flavors. The milk chocolate caramel is very tasty, a bit sweeter than the milk chocolate squares. The white chocolate caramel is also very good.

I know, here he is, sequestered peacefully in his room trying to stay healthy, when he’s forced out by ants!
Updates: went to the wee hospital in Ladner, BC to visit the MIL and bring her her shoes. She’s sore but no broken hip. Keeping her overnight.
Was able to buy some Terro ant baits and the ants are gobbling up that sweet stuff to take back into their lair and poison their Queen.

Post by: bk on April 13, 2023, 10:29:43 PM: Then I hunkered down and finished Mare of Winningham. I know that I'm in the minority here and maybe I would have liked it better had I not seen superior shows like Happy Valley, which is clearly the role model for this show. But I've seen four or five like this and they're all exactly the same - dreary, depressing, unhappy people doing bad things to each other, family woes, and a murder to solve that becomes almost silly in its three twist reveal that simply defies credulity. The last two episodes were especially illogical and most of the last episode is endless yakking, and then we get the final third twist (if you can call it that) and it's just, for me, not believable at all. There's no question that the actors do a fine job, but the truly awful characters, especially the surly ex-boyfriend of the murdered girl and his gal pal - horrible, both - never pay the price or face anything. Winslet is excellent, though, but it's the structure, which borrows heavily from the Swedish and Danish similar series, where every episode has to end with a cliffhanger development, a new possible killer, etc. However, for me, the worst thing is the music, by some composer I never heard of - it's literally all wallpaper, sound design, and droning. At the end, we get some piano octaves before the final fadeout. I mean, it's so ludicrous and one can only hope that there is a sea change at some point.
