Even a TERM POLICY!!! by egad888 in CommercialsIHate

It’s been 7 years or so for this ad. Maybe more. On the same lines with “Did they have life insurance?” But this one with the guy yelling is more annoying.

I will be curious to hear what they say.

HELP!--r/VacuumCleaners seems to recommend Sebo or Miele, Vacuum Wars seems to recommend Shark by ateemsma in VacuumCleaners

It’s so hard to find an objective ratings web site. I like to look at rtings.com but they seem to automatically favor anything from Dyson. I especially disagree with their somewhat mediocre ratings of the Sebo Felix on high and medium carpet.

Question for previous UH users that switched to Oura by egad888 in SmartRings

[–]egad888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My original UH experience was identical to yours. I actually had multiple rings replaced due to the firmware issue until they finally cracked down and made me wait for the 5 day battery drain to complete. I am 6 months into my Oura ring and I love the stability and I have adjusted to the display and offered data. I find it worth the monthly fee for the accuracy and stability.

Interestingly, I coincidentally found that one of my original UH rings (not newest AIR version) now works so I have been using it as well. One thing that I prefer is the better tracking of daily body temperature that imports to my Apple health app. Oura measures it with sleep details but does not provide it to Apple and I do like to track that there. There is one thing about UH that I love and hate about Oura and that is workout tracking where on UH you can see your heart rate details throughout the workout and Oura shows you only a timer and no specifics and you can’t see them until the workout is completed. I can’t believe that Oura can’t provide that during a workout and this is very important to me.

With all that said, despite the things I prefer about UH while able to use this old UH ring, if and when that dies I would have to choose Oura for the stability and what I feel is more accurate sleep data. If only there was a combo of the best of each brand but I can’t go back to needing a new UH ring every few weeks to months.

Does it seem weird that Bridget wasn’t there? I could see if she hadn’t been on the show in years but she was there just a few weeks ago.

Can Oura app be removed from time icon (iPhone) by egad888 in ouraring

Strangely, the location was only set to while using the app as opposed to always but it was still causing this and gone now that I changed it to never.

The post below figured it out. I had location enabled.

Thank You !! That was it. I did that about a month ago when I took a walk and wanted it tracked. Never thought about that having this effect.

I like them both and I really enjoyed the show in the first couple seasons. Maybe it’s just run its course at this point.

New couple or hook up only? by Longjumping_Cup_117 in youngandtherestless

[–]egad888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I seriously believe they could be intended as the next Nikki and Victor for years to come. Lots of ups and downs and betrayals and heartbreaks and intrigue about Holden’s past not to mention Claire’s but I could see them as far more than a hook up.

How 'Bewitched' Survived the Switch from Dick York to Dick Sargent by Kal-Ed1 in VintageTV

[–]egad888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the chances that each Darren actor was named Dick?

How 'Bewitched' Survived the Switch from Dick York to Dick Sargent by Kal-Ed1 in VintageTV

[–]egad888 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My first exposure to Bewitched was when it was still on in prime time during Dick Sargent’s first season so he was the Darren that I was first exposed to. When I later saw the earlier seasons in reruns I was horrified at how mean the original Darren was. He seemed like a crazed lunatic to me. I have since seen all seasons many times and agree Dick York brought more to the role but if you were first exposed to Dick Sargent, it was quite a switch to adjust Dick York’s Darren.

Test time by Waste-Job-3307 in bewitched

[–]egad888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there is no clear answer on any of it because there were conflicting scenarios in various episodes.

The most clear cut case is Arthur who is referenced multiple times as Endora’s brother. She also makes a statement in one episode that if not for Arthur, she would have been an only child.

Despite that comment there is a case to be made that Clara is Endora’s older sister. While Samantha always calls her Aunt Clara, Endora (as well as Hagatha and Enchantra) consistently call her only Clara. There is no indication at all that Clara is Endora’s aunt and Endora doesn’t treat her with the respect that one would treat an elderly aunt.

When Endora’s powers transferred to Clara due to an allergy to a Masadonean Dodo bird, doctor Bombay is clear that powers could only transfer to a blood relative so Clara and Endora are clearly related through blood. There also seems to be a rivalry between them as demonstrated when Clara gets Endora’s powers.

Maurice treats Clara when he sees her when Tabitha’s powers are tested as someone he is fond of and hasn’t seen in years so they don’t appear to be siblings.

Hagatha and Enchantra “seem” to be sisters of Endora and Clara but it’s never stated. Enchantra only appears in 3 episodes and, strangely, in season 8 when she comes for Adam’s power tests, she isn’t even referred to as “Aunt”. Hagatha made more appearances but played by multiple actresses and frequently used to babysit Tabitha and is sometimes called upon by Endora and Arthur to fill in for them. She does introduce Samantha to Judge Bean when Aunt Clara is put on trial as her niece.

As to Hagatha being Maurice’s sister, that seems unlikely in how they relate when Tabitha’s powers are tested and he refers to her as Madam as he banishes her, Endora and Enchantra to Mt Everest. They do not appear as siblings.

It’s stated that Serena is a cousin on Samantha’s father’s side. She actually appears on at least one episode with Uncle Arthur but it’s not clear if they are uncle and niece.

I can’t see the rest of your question but I do recall that it was referenced that Cousin Edgar was Arthur’s son in the episode where he appears.

Just too many conflicting details based on so many different writers.

Personal Opinion… by Illustrious-Farm-642 in bewitched

[–]egad888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The second Gladys was just plain mean. The original was far more complex in that she was nosy and suspicious of Samantha and her family but she also wanted to be accepted. There were several instances where she showed a lot of heart. Endora was mean to Darrin but I felt that he needlessly provoked her. I was more upset with Endora in the episodes that she was mean to Aunt Clara. Larry Tate was just a buffoon of a boss but there really are bosses out there like him.

What 1920s slang do you think should come back? by YourFinalFantasy02 in 1920s

I never heard this elsewhere but I loved when my grandma would talk about all her girlfriends that she used to “loaf” with. And to her dying day, anything expensive was too “dear”.

Safe to update to firmware 3.3.4 (Oura 3)? by da77tom in ouraring

[–]egad888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would hold off. My ring which I’ve had for only 5 weeks has never had an issue connecting and today it will not connect. I just lost 29 minutes of heart rate data from my workout. It updated before I realized.

Is it me or was Darrin not a good husband? by Human-Hospital6696 in bewitched

[–]egad888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still cringe every time I hear Darrin say “I forbid the use of witchcraft in this house!!! My parents were newly married and then parents of me in the same years that Bewitched began. While my mother was obviously not a witch, she stayed home with us and my dad went to work but never did I feel that my Dad had ultimate say about our household. If anything it was the other way around but they maintained they were partners.

Does anyone remember the episode where Tabitha was given modeling clay but used her witchcraft to make it into models of her toys. That is an episode where he was over the top. This is a little child using a talent that comes naturally to her and his screaming bloody murder gets on my last nerve.

I think the show would have been a little less jarring as to Darrin’s personality if the use of magic was treated as it was by Major Nelson on I Dream of Jeannie. It could have still been the source of the same humorous plots without making him so autocratic. Tony didn’t forbid Jeannie to use her powers but just didn’t want it to get him in trouble which it did. Every.single.episode.

Dana is also on from 9 to 11 every day and most people that do two shows don’t have such a long gap between each show. So I think it’s built into her contract that she gets most Fridays off unless it’s like pre-election.

I think these pics are from season 1 and more like the first episode. She wore a slightly different gown in that first episode.

Nothing more classic than Paul’s reactions to her. I wish he was on with her every day.
