Rare xpcdoojk Posted February 8, 2022 #47676 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Again, on what planet does any of that make sense. Georgia and Canada are completely different on virtually every level. I say Hollywood sucks, and on their best days they suck really bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBE4 Posted February 8, 2022 #47677 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Vancouver is a hot spot for filming locations that are supposedly set somewhere else. It's all about tax breaks & cost. Vancouver, Georgia & New York among others have been aggressive in courting Hollywood. Even locally, Nyack NY, in Rockland County which is 30 miles north of NYC has been used as a substitute for Staten Island in Showtimes "Ray Donovan". And Ozarks is less about the Ozarks and more about big city criminals moving to a rural tourist destination. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetness on cement was where I was standing when driveway guy was here . Raining a little now and water is flowing down driveway. No way of knowing what happened before. It just never happened before in the 20+ years we have lived here, so you start by looking at what changed. Driveway guy is trying to say it is the new cement at a seam. I am sure if I get my cement guy here, he will blame the driveway guy. With another inch of water forecast, I just want it to stay dry inside. If We had our driveway done 2 years ago. My husband said they didn't compact your asphalt down. It should be smooth, not pebbly. If water gets underneath and freezes the asphalt will start breaking up. They obviously didn't use roller to compact it down and the seam between the garage and driveway should be flush. THIS NEEDS TO BE REDONE.

Rare h20skibum Posted February 8, 2022 #47694 Share Posted February 8, 2022 It is 22° and snowing again this morning. I knew this relentless snow would have consequences. Apparently, we do not have to wait until May to sail again. Susan decided to book us on Allure for an 8 night Southern next month to celebrate my birthday. According to my cruise planner, we sail in 25 days. Flights booked and now looking at hotels for pre and post cruise stays. We are on Allure again in May, but a different Southern itinerary. Guess I need to order some tests now. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonTexasNY Posted February 8, 2022 #47695 Share Posted February 8, 2022 @Sea Dog Greg, before I start my day, I wanted to wish you super luck for tomorrow's surgery. In no time at all you'll be chasing your sweet pups all over the house with no pain. Something wonderful to look forward to. @HBE4 Loved that you mentioned Nyack, NY, a quaint, lovely river town not far from where I lived. Great restaurants, antique shops, fabulous street fair. My friends and I would drive by Rosie O'Donnell's house hoping to catch site of her throwing out her trash.🤣 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fine Pennsylvanian brew, I've been drinking for years. Really like the Lager and Black-n-Tan. The Light beer makes Coors Light (aka water) seem strong. Basically, a waste of calories. lol Yuengling is a little like Disney in that they control supply to manage demand...smart strategy. I like it and will often order it on tap. I think it's a good beer, not a great beer. I'll certainly choose it over a basic Bud/Miller/Coors. I was going to say just the opposite about their light beer. I think it has more taste than the other light beers. But I agree that they all taste like water. My preferred "light" beer right now is Bell's Light Hearted Ale. It's a Lo Cal IPA that at least has some IPA taste to it. I put light in quotes because it has a few more calories and carbs than most light beers, which is what it probably still has some taste. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am correct, how does filming the show in Georgia, make it even slightly truthful. I have been to the Lake and I have been to Georgia, and I am unable to confuse them…. Don’t bother correcting me if I am wrong, filming in Georgia is a serious flaw no matter what is is about. just sayin…. I watch NCIS (the original version) and think the same thing whenever they show a city street scene. It looks exactly like a studio lot and not at all like an actual city street. I will then see the same city street scene in another show...likely shot at the same studio location. Suspension of disbelief I guess. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never finished Breaking Bad. Never got past the midway point of the first season. Everyone told me to push thru because it gets better from there, but I never did. Still, Micheline and I were talking the other day about the parallels between Ozark and Breaking Bad. Basically good people who get caught up in a "small" criminal situation while trying to do right in life, and that criminal situation gets a lot bigger. I do know that Walter in Breaking Bad turns into a badass by the end of the show. I'm wondering if the same will happen with Marty and Wendy, i.e. they take full control of the cartel. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted February 8, 2022 #47700 Share Posted February 8, 2022 @Sea Dog Continued prayers and support for your surgery tomorrow. The day before is always full of anxiety, and tomorrow between everything happening, and all the drugs, you won't know what planet you are on. It is so worth it. Please do not worry about a thing. Physicians and surgery centers have this under control. Take care and update us when you can. On the Bella cruise we can start a new group event. The "Greg" walk-a-thon. or A few laps on the trak. We should after all of the ETOH it sounds like we will be consuming!!! Take care. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
