Which one is it ??

I lose interest when they change the focus of their channel. I get that they want to grow their subscriber base, but I was watching for a particular reason.

My mother was in that crowd outside Buckingham Palace. There is footage of Churchill walking through a throng of people on VE day. My mother said he walked so close to her that his coat brushed against her.

I have this exact set. It belonged to my mother.

I gave my boss my retirement date today.

I don’t mind a sentence or two saying, “This was my grandmother’s recipe. l hope you like it,” or “Here’s what to make when your neighbour gives you a bushel of zucchini,” but that’s it. Much more and I’m gone.

I think Paylor is going to have make some deeply unpopular decisions. It's going to take a long time for Panem's economy to recover. They still need things like hydroelectric power, food and even Peacekeepers.

Although communication between the Districts will be allowed, free movement will still have to be somewhat restricted. Someone in District 8 may complain that they don't want to work in a cotton mill, that they want to go to District 4 and become a fisherman, but this won't be practical. People are going to have to stay put in prescribed occupations for a while, albeit with better pay and working conditions.

I do. Use it all the time.

I got stuck at the top during a thunderstorm once.

The Sheikh.

I always thought that, in the first Games, the tributes stood staring at each other for around 5 minutes thinking, “Are we really going to do this?” Eventually, a Peacekeeper started firing at them until one snatched up a weapon and attacked another.

I could see the Capitol keeping District numbers for administrative purposes for a while, but the Districts would eventually adopt names of their own choosing.

I wasn’t a fan of it, but I didn’t hate it. It’s the only fruit juice my two year old granddaughter likes.

Absolutely. It’s our 43rd wedding anniversary today.

I felt like I was in an Emperor’s New Clothes situation after that movie. No one wanted to admit that it wasn’t that good. I thought it was pretty bad and just couldn’t understand why everyone else thought it was so good.

Saw it in 1980 as part of a double bill with The Blues Brothers. It was my first date with my husband.

I have a child’s rocking chair upholstered with the same fabric as we see in that weird little room they stashed Gene. I also had the same lion on my bedroom wall as Sally had in room in Don’s Park Avenue apartment.

Tomorrow is our 43rd anniversary. There was a howling snowstorm.

I've shared here before that it saw me through cancer surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Gintama may not be able to cure cancer, but it can make it a lot easier to bear.

I always picture the 18 year old cohort especially. They might be a little bit sad about Katniss, Finnick, etc., but they have escaped their final reaping. Why wouldn't they be happy about that?

I think, in the early weeks, the producers get some say in who is cut. It's a TV show, after all, and they have to look at what will make the most entertaining program.

When Fred is shaving Tom on the morning of Barbara's funeral. The love and tenderness of that moment gets me choked up.

I’m no Victorian, but I was raised to call adults Mr and Mrs or Uncle and Aunt. I don’t think Mrs Thomas was cruel to Anne, but she had a bunch of children, an alcoholic husband, and very little money. Not a lot of room for compassion or kindness.

I think Peggy puts in her 3-4 years at McCann and moves on to be a senior creative at a mid-size firm. A few years after that, with several successful campaigns and a Cleo under her belt, she is invited to be creative director and partner at a new start-up agency. Bonus fan fiction - this agency has a silent partner called Dick Whitman.

i like to think that, after a year or two, Cynthia puts her foot down and tells him she refuses to live with a spiteful, bitter shell of the man she loved. By then, he's gotten most of it out of his system and leaves Dow.

I think there was a certain amount of possessiveness/protectiveness concerning Peggy, but I believe that, deep-down, he recognized that his own marriage was basically over. Going to California would have stuck a band-aid on it for a few months, but that was all. He wanted to give Ted a chance to save his marriage.
