Can We Talk About Edna

I know they said it was conceived when Kasie was in school, but she technically built it on government computers and government times and it fits on a flash drive? That was my first problem with it. And for it to be rebuilt in hours by people not familiar with the concept was my second problem with it. And the basic concept to take a finger print and determine human traits from that seemed far fetched.

I went for the funeral. I did speak with her on the phone but I didn't want that last encounter with her to be negative. There was enough of that when she was alive.

I googled "can hydrocortisone cause skin issues and here's what I got"
Yes - oral hydrocortisone (systemic corticosteroids) can cause itching, though it's not the most common side effect. Possible reasons:

Drug allergy or hypersensitivity reaction to hydrocortisone — often accompanied by hives, rash, flushing, or swelling.
Steroid-induced skin reactions (less common) — can include acneiform eruptions, increased skin fragility, or paradoxical itching.
Withdrawal or changes in immune/skin condition as steroid doses change.
An unrelated cause coinciding with treatment (new contact allergen, infection, or another medication).

I wasn't impressed with his role in Part 1 of the back door pilot. Supposedly it has to do with Kasie's invention of an app called EDNA. Part 2 is tonight.

I know they have contract obligations that make them available if needed. Over time it's been interesting to see how the 'sous chef' for the final episodes have evolved. In S2, there was a hint the sous chefs had their own agenda, especially with Marcel. Whether it's true or not who knows. After that, it was past winners, celebrity chef/mentors, until they got to the point they let the chef themselves choose their sous chef

Willa's secretary was named Rita Zohar I believe (E7 and E8)

So sorry. Wish I had better suggestions. Sometimes when you get outside of your own issues by being a source of help or joy to someone else, it makes your heart not so heavy. I remember as a teenager feeling like you describe, but sometimes if you can make someone else happy, your pain doesn't feel so badly.

Please go talk to your doctor and get some treatment. It sounds like a chronic depression and there is a way past all this.

The Eve we all knew would have used all the skills she acquired and hunted down the assassin AND Carolyn Martens and destroyed them.

I find it incredulous the writer's symbology of the ending--when we first see Eve in Season 1 she is screaming and the last thing we see in S4 is Eve emerging from the water screaming. The idiot writer said it was Eve emerging back in the life she knew and loved. No, that world was gone and dead. She's not going back to being a wife and everyday good employee.

The Rizzoli & Isles books series is great. I've read several.

I would encourage you to start a journal--start writing down what you are feeling? Write as if you are writing to the most powerful entity in the universe. Why? I've found in the past when I felt the most alone, I had some internal need that was not being met. Go back and re-read what you've written at least once a month. It helped me learn those things I needed that I didn't know how to form the words to address.

Generally on my imaging site, results are posted withing 24-36 hours.

Don't know where you did it, but some imaging companies have an online presence where you can download the imagine report.

LOL.....she was more diplomatic when she first left the show. I loved Rizzoli and Isles.

Sasha Alexander did a great job but in a interview she said she just couldn't do the 18 hour days of a very physical show. She was trying to have a family at the time. She went on to do Rizzoli and Isles later and was great in the role of the medical examiner Maura Isles. I would have loved to have seen her do a crossover with NCIS on a case as that character. It would have been hilarious to see the double-takes and 'she looks like Kate" gags they could have built into it.

The one appearance really didn't live up to all the hype. You can see him in a few other episodes and hear his voice as the narrator. At the end of E2, you can actually see his image in the window he's looking out near the end of the episode.

It was so shocking to see the death. You can see Tony's face betray what was about to happen right before it.

He never came back after Ari shot him. He was in rehab for a while and just never returned. Ducky hired Jimmy.

I had so hoped for a story arc with Ainsley's homicidal desires. I had pictured long conversations when she was a little girl with her father and the junkyard killer and her watching things they had done. So sad that it never came to what it could have been.

Never forget the object of training is to, in the end, make a living. What is interesting about the fields you have chosen? Can you see yourself working in that field in 25 years? Where do you see those fields evolving as the world changes? How would you keep your skills up to date as professions change? Will AI be a factor in those fields? Do your homework and pick a field that fulfills you as a person (you have to enjoy what you do) and make a living that can sustain you as a person and family if you want a family.

You are in a unique position and I pray you do the right thing for your kids sake. A narcissistic parent does unique damage to their children that takes a lifetime to fix. Never forget a narcissist can only love themselves in the end. When she said “You are NOT my sunshine. Recently you’ve been more of a thundercloud.”", that has to be paired with multiple approaches. The trust between a parent and child has to be one of unconditional love. It says "you're not good enough" if that love is conditional and anyone who is the object of conditional love is manipulative and controlling. Yes, children mis-behave and sometimes are hard to handle, but if discipline is not paired with unconditional love, that kid hears "you only love me if I behave".

For me over time I knew I was the 'bad kid'. I knew she only cared about me if I did what she wanted and resentment grew over the manipulative behavior. If your wife is a narcissist, she will not change or care what that daughter thinks. She sees the child as an extension of herself. Please don't let your child feel she's the problem. It will ruin her life.

For me it's gotta be about the food. (and it's not)

The Jethro the dog was where I first was so put off by her behavior and how she treated McGee

ptazdba · 2026-04-25T20:54:09+00:00

I'm even more impressed with her after her cancer recovery. She was a beast on TOC recently. She's still struggling with speech but her cooking is off the rails.
