Don't be so judgmental - you don't know what it's like to drive with the entire back end of your car missing.

If that would be too awkward, I'd go with the 6 part 1995 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. If you've both already seen it ten times, you should go for an eleventh.

I absolutely lovvved Gentleman Jack (on Britbox). Caveat: there's hot lesbian action going on under those skirts (nothing explicit, and I don't recall any nudity, but it's a major plot point and very obvious). Factor in your mother's views + whether you'd sink into the couch in embarrassment.

I live in a state that doesn't have a Cracker Barrel, so I was excited to try one on the way home from visiting in-laws and hearing them talk about it. I haven't taken food advice from them since.

Was the plan for the ad campaign to hurl dildos and have people guess that it was for their crypto scheme? Or was it to try to make a mockery of the women's game and take credit for it, thereby winning the hearts of women haters everywhere?

What do you mean who cares?! Maine's fun ranking is fascinating! In summer it's in the top 3 - that's why it's called "Vacationland"! Unfortunately it scrapes bottom during the other 9 months. We do rank in the top 5 for most-need-for-antidepressants during that time, so at least there's that!

We Mainers are adept at rubbing sticks together, and that combined with tin cans and some fishing line can give us internet access for up to 20 minutes some days! If you'd read the thread, you'd know your homeland wasn't actually disrespected. (And your reaction was kind of insane, regardless.)

I don't actually have any issue with either Connecticut or Rhode Island - it's not a value judgment. They're great representatives of the Outer Mid-Atlantic region.

I don't know what to tell you - I just had my meter calibrated, and Rhode Island isn't registering at all. Can you double check your source? Maybe turn it off then restart it?

As a Maine resident who's secretly convinced Connecticut isn't *really* part of New England, I want a W team in Boston and I was excited by the original announcement. Your argument has such a sense of entitlement that it's making me want the Sun to stay in CT.

I'd hope they'd honor the fans who've been incredibly loyal to the team and just go with New England Sun (even though the amount of sun we have annually would make this nearly as apropos as the Utah Jazz).

Questions: It's clearly an expensive area, but is that as insanely high a price as it seems for something in that condition? Or are we to assume JK's mold is more valuable? Also: Where I live, sellers need to disclose when a murder has taken place on the property - is that the case in Winchester?

I wonder if in the future you can have your physician say there's a possible family history when requesting tests. Drs often aren't aware of the ridiculousness that goes on once you leave their office, but many are willing to do what they can to help once they've been made aware.

I really didn't enjoy the 1st ep; it felt like a list of maladies and medications interspersed with gore. Really glad I got pressured into watching the 2nd one- that's when I started to care about the characters. I ended up thinking the show was really fun even if I had to frequently avert my gaze.
