Agreed. 3 hours ago, Sunshine3601 said: Yes I remember now. That is a difficult season but 6 and 7 do get pretty wild. The show did a pretty good job of reinventing itself. There was supposed to be a season 8, the final season, but Showtime cancelled it quite suddenly. A Ray Donovan movie came out earlier this year to tie up lose ends but alas, I cancelled Showtime a while ago as there was not enough to justify the cost. Perhaps I can watch it during one of those "free movie" weekends where you get to sample shows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Momof3gurlz Posted May 2, 2022 #56278 Share Posted May 2, 2022 So regarding tv shows/series. We finished Ozark last night. It’s already been mentioned here that there’s a surprise ending. I won’t say more to avoid spoiling it, but overall I thought the final episode was just ‘meh’. Not sure what I expected. Loved Ray Donovan, Mrs Maisel & Breaking Bad. Shameless was good but we couldn’t get thru the final season. An older show we really enjoyed is Six Feet Under. It had probably the best ending of any series we’ve watched. Friday Night Lights is on our list to try too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What surprised me was the cost. $300,000 for a 1,400 sq ft house and it is supposed to be half the cost. I can see it possibly working in high cost areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I like all 3 casino's by the Marina. As for boardwalk casinos, my favorite - Showboat - is long gone. Resorts and Hard Rock are the only 2 worth going to. Both have a totally different vibe.

I was born in the 60’s, but I don’t remember my mother swearing! Maybe New York was totally different than the north coast of British Columbia, but even the word “bum” was a little racy! I know people born and raised in NY who never uttered a curse word.In fact one lives in my house.It is not me. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not heard anyone comment the movie and if it gave closure to the series. Hopefully it is not like how Sopranos ended.

I am really intrigued. The first one in NY is a little over 1500 sq home plus 750 sq detached 2.5 garage that was listed for $299K but the cost to build was only $20K and only took 10 weeks. That in itself is pretty amazing considering most new home builders are running 6 to 9 months. Now add on to that $20K to "print" the 3d home the cost for the land, permits, excavating, utility connections for water, sewer and electricity, appliances, interior finishes, landscaping, etc. I imagine this first home entered into multiple bids and sold for much higher than list price. Will find out as soon as it closes and sold price is listed under public records. Edited May 2, 2022 by Sunshine3601 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's uplifting, inspirational even, as you are doing a very beautiful thing. Thank you for what you are doing and sharing. I have no doubt you are having a huge, positive impact on not only the residents of the memory care facility but their family members as well.

She had a rare version that affected her speech first and she lost her ability to speak and otherwise communicate before she lost her memories. As such, we could never determine how much she recognized us or what she remember or even if she knew what was happening. Once it became to much for my dad and us to care for her, we did check her into a skilled nursing facility. They told us she'd be there for 12-18 months before she'd pass. She was there for 8 years. My dad passed from cancer before her. Given my current situation with a most loved one suffering a brain injury, I have often thought about how to give back, either thru fund raising, volunteering or working part time at a facility such as yours.
