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. That’s like the show “The Alienist” on TNT, they built a Victorian era NYC sets in either Romania or Bulgaria to film the show. It seems it’s actually a lot cheaper to do that than to film it here in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I think that Wendy is the one that’s turning into more of a ruthless badass than Marty. He seems to still have a some hesitation when doing things that affect other people directly, where she has lost all compassion. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted February 8, 2022 #47703 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I was just informed that the bird feeders are running low. Mr “ front porch squirrel “ sits on bench and makes noise on glass to get my attention. Sometimes “ the cat” stares him down. But the cat has her own concerns today. 13 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was them I would have just posted some police there and they could have had time to go surfing. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like all the Hallmark Christmas movies are filmed in Canada but are set in towns in the US. Cheaper production costs in Canada than US. 12 hours ago, HBE4 said: And Ozarks is less about the Ozarks and more about big city criminals moving to a rural tourist destination.

I’m interested to follow along the process as my mom needs a replacement as well. As OB has said it will be a great change for your mobility and it will be for my mom when it happens. It will go great tomorrow. Thanks Andrew. I will posting updates not to get sympathy but more to educate those who might be interested in the robotic surgery and process. Looking forward to being able to walk with you on the Bella cruise. 1 hour ago, BonTexasNY said: @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. Thank Bonnie. Nervous but looking forward to finally getting this done. I have in pain for more than 5 years. I am now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. 1 hour ago, bobmacliberty said: Doctor knows best. @Sea Dog - Are you up bright and early tomorrow for the surgery? Thank you Bob. I have to be there at 8:30 with surgery at 10:30. I probably will not sleep tonight with nervous anticipation. We will be up early to get the pups up and fed and hopefully doing their business so we can crate them for 3-4 hours. Linda can't stay so she will come back home and then visit me later after I have been checked into my room after surgery. It will be the first time we have crated them by themselves for that long of a period. Hopefully they will be ok. 1 hour ago, bobmacliberty said: I never finished Breaking Bad. You need to finish it. It is so good. I too was not at a fan at first. I thought it was too dark. It was also kind of slow. Boy does it pick up. It's by far the best series I have ever watched. 1 hour ago, Lionesss said: @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. Thank you so much Sue. Your words comfort me and you are so right. I will not know what planet I am on. I'll try to post after my surgery when I can. If my words and spelling don't make sense you will know why, Oxycontin! Lol on the group event. The "greg' walk-a-thon sounds hilarious. Not sure what ETOH stands for but it must involve drinking which I'm very good at. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sea Dog Posted February 8, 2022 #47708 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Well it's 24 hours from surgery time. Thank you to everyone for your well wishes, encouragement and support. It means everything to me and I consider all of you family. I will be posting hopefully my process, recovery and rehab not to get any sympathy but to educate anyone who may be thinking of getting knee replacement and the robotic system. So I figure I would take a pre surgery pic of my leg and knee since it will not look like this in 24 hours. Someone asked me how I felt about having a scared knee and leg. I replied "hell if it means no pain... my leg can be as ugly, as I am too old to care about being beautiful. Dr. sent his daily text. says I can't have any alcohol today so bummer no bourbon for me. No food or drink after midnight too. Not sure how hungry I'll be after surgery. Maybe I can loose my cruise/holiday weight that I gained. I know the pain meds will curb my appetite. I am going to have sushi for lunch with a longtime dear friend and former band mate who had his knee replaced. It will be good getting advice over some spicy crab salad and an assortment of rolls. Cheers everyone. Let's do this! 18 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We watched and I have no respect for Rayna at all. She slinging mud at Eddie was uncalled for. Heather took the high road and I don't know why fans fault her. I'd like to see her return for next season. I also did not understand Jess trying to say that Heather tried to pressure her. That was not her intention. She was trying to help her not be miserable. What I am most interested in is how many more seasons will Captain Lee do? He really looked older in this season. I know his health issues and the loss of his son have weighed heavy on him. Do you think Eddie would take over? I don't know if he has the charisma that Capt. Lee has. One things for sure Rayna will never be back and I don't think there is a Captain in the world that would hire her for all her toxicity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniDanielle Posted February 8, 2022 #47711 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Captain Lee was definitely off. He did not seem to support Eddie at all. Jake would have added some fun to the reunion, they should have waited for him😊Jess just did not want to be there. Rachel was pretty quiet also. I liked how Rayna loved everyone until she didn’t. Very confused young woman. anyway, enjoy today as best you can and in a few weeks you will be running all over town! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lee did not answer the question as to whether he would have Eddie back, that was interesting. Rachel seemed to be biting her tongue all night. I am so over Rayna and hope they never have her on the show again. If they do, they need to hold her responsible for her actions and make her actually do her job. I agree they should have waited until Jake could attend the reunion as he was involved in so much. Below Deck Sailing Yacht is coming soon and the commercials look interesting. A lot of the prior crew are there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted February 8, 2022 #47722 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Squirrels pop up here on occasion so I thought I would share a squirrel pic 🐿.
