He we go, it's Rebus time! My usual Rebus generator has a pop up box all of a sudden that asks you to watch an ad to get 24 hour access to the puzzle maker. Ya, no. I clicked on A BAD LINK a week or so ago, and suddenly my PC was screaming at me. I think not. The Festisite Rebus maker uses larger pictograms, so it is easier to use when the Rebus source is short. Blah, blah. The answer key will be up February 28th at 7 am
This rebus is a quote from a recently read book. Enjoy!
Ta da, after decades of saving milk jugs to sow winter seeds and never using them, I have three, count em, three sets of seeds in jugs and outside. I had trouble cutting the line around the jug in a straight line. I forgot to cover the seeds in the first one. Wider duct tape would have been nice. This could work!
Sir Chompers was a huge alligator being fed by a barkeep, FYI. Nice scene.
When you move back up north and miss your cactus friends, what to do?
Most of the recipes in Mary's box look so good! This week, only the Swedish Meatballs are something I would eat. I appreciate the small amount of Allspice used, that stuff can be so overpowering.
The Rookie Burn 4 Love
The Rookie, formerly one of the many Tuesday night shows has moved to Monday nights. I watch it on Wednesdays though, with the usual Tuesday lineup.
This week featured sweet Valentine's moments, a curse which shouldn't have worked but seemed to be quite devastating, and a romantic pair who were causing small Swan Lake themed fires. As if that weren't a busy enough episode, the ending was positively explosive.
Doc Trust
Poker, transplants and Sonya & TJ snooping into their boss Joan's personal business, more memories from the past for Amy, and the truly awful return of Dr Miller as part of a settlement with the hospital. Everyone knows that he tried to hide his actions that led to the death of a patient, how's that going to go?
Best Medicine Eyewitness Blues
Port Wenn's annual Blueberry festival is covered for a tiny audience by Elaine, with poor Doctor Best wielding a camera for her. It puts him right into the thick of things, though, after he refused to be a judge in the blueberry pie baking contest. The resident's are out for blueberry glory and are unusually ruthless as they compete. Though I claim I could drop this show at any time, when I'm doing my Tuesday night show watch, I watch Doc first, then Best Medicine second every single time.
Will Trent You're Not That Person Anymore
Part two of a set wherein poor Faith finally finds a really great guy who she thinks she might love, though they haven't known each other long. Unfortunately for her, Malcolm is part of a gang that has been robbing banks while in costumes.
Angie is the one who isn't that person anymore. She's about to have a baby and a good life she doesn't think she deserves. Luckily Will, who has known her forever, convinces her she deserves all the good things. Spoiler alert, Angie plans a surprise wedding ceremony in the place where she and Seth met, officiated by her longtime friend Franklin, with no one other than a bicyclist who happened by as their witness. (sniff) It was so lovely.
The Pitt 12 pm
High noon on the Fourth of July and nothing is slowing down. The episode focuses quite a bit on the nursing staff, and the many roles they play. The alcoholic patient Louie, who has been an ER visitor for a long time and is known by everyone, didn't make it. Everyone is affected, and there's a scene where head nurse Dana shows a new nurse how to clean and prepare a body for possible viewing by friends or relatives that is so touching.
Santos gets busted by a surgeon from upstairs after two AI related charting errors are caught and questioned. I'm glad nobody died.
Starfleet Academy Come, Let's Away
Excellent episode. The cadets are on a training mission at a space graveyard. They have one hour to bring a damaged ship called the Miyazaki online. Cadets are in sets, some are on the bridge, some go to the ship. 65% is the best anyone has done over the years trying to complete the task.
Almost immediately, a hostile group of aliens called The Furies surrounds the ship and the Athena, boards the Miyazaki and takes the cadets and their mentor captive. They're savage and are cannibals. While the mentor sacrifices himself, the cadets make their way to the bridge and try to defend it hoping the Athena will rescue them. Sam is able to interface with the ship and bring it more fully online. They use a comic to show the confused ship computer what happened to her crew, very cool.
Back on the Athena, the Betazoid Tarima, who can reach Caleb telepathically, helps the cadets prepare to be rescued once they get the singularity online.
With information from the villainous Nus Braka, she's able to be on the ship in real time and, having pulled out her ability dampener, she destroys the furies.
I don't like ongoing seemingly all powerful villains, and I don't like Braka.
This puzzle is from a new book I've read recently called Pendergast The Beginning. I love a good origin story. This book had so many great words! The answer key appears February 21st at 7 am.
Here’s my small collection of Valentines themed decor. The holiday maintains a simple charm. Treat yourself to chocolate and place a few seed orders. There ya go.
Wasn't that sweet? It's a nice hot pizza for Mr DOA and myself today, ordered from our favorite local pizzeria. Yum!
This week the cards move from the last frostings into main dishes. The Golden Mac N' Meat almost sounds good. The Frosting Starter is interesting. It's ready to be colored, but also can be added to to make other frosting flavors.
Last post of the day! Wasn't this fun? See you in February 2027 for the 19th Anniversary edition, wherein I'll plan ahead and have 19 posts crammed into the day somehow. Otherwise, back to the usual posts.
Here are photos I've scanned and I have been unable to identify the folks pictured. I noticed though that while I was looking through these tonight, there are some pictures of people I can identify who can now go in their own folders. None of these are those!
