Not your same ol' love story

I was watching 9-1-1 Lone Star last night.  I'm behind on both it and the original so I started with LS since there are fewer seasons.  Hahaha.

Anyway, I was watching S4 E15 (I think): Donors.  Grace helps break up an organ trafficking ring while Owen's brother is visiting.  I was on IMDB because I was pretty sure that Detective Dickhead (who later turns out to be an okay dude) was Adam Baldwin (certified IRL dickhead).  While I was looking, I noticed that Owen's brother was played by Rob Lowe's actual brother.  I had no idea he even had a brother who acted.  It was kind of crazy because their voices are similar and their intonations/manner of speaking are very similar. 

I'm sad that this got cancelled though.  I weirdly enjoy it more than the original.  Will have to check out Nashville as well.  I just love how freaking ridiculous the episode plots are. 

(Wish I still had my talk to me Texas icon loaded.)

I also watched the Emma Thompson version of Sense and Sensibility over the weekend.  Kaige had rec'd it to me but at the time, Britbox only had another version.  Thankfully, BB got with the times and added this one as well.  I enjoyed both versions, but I will say that Alan Rickman makes a much better Col Brandon.  The dude in the other was much too old.  Hahaha. 

And now I need to crowdsource opinions on the best adaptation of Jane Eyre.  Britbox has the 2006(?) version with Ruth Wilson, whom I really enjoy.  But I am open to suggestions.  

I am really, really fucking tired of being shamed and made fun of becuase I can't hack really cold weather.  It is 47 here right now and I'm freezing.  Whoever turned on my space heater yesterday did it for me again today.  I owe them a hug or a coffee or something.

But this particular east coaster I talk to laughed at me for saying I was cold at 49 yesterday and how she'd be wearing shorts and a tank top.  Okay, um, good for you?  Why don't you come visit me in July when we're pushing 117 and see how well you handle the heat? 

I know, I know, I shouldn't let this bother me as much as it does, but I am so damn touchy about this subject.  A lot of it stems from being told by my former boss always saying, "You can't possibly be cold" when I'm sitting directly under the AC vent and he's dropped the temp down to 68º.  But also, everyone is different.  I thrive in the heat, but not everyone likes the dry, hot summers we have here.  I don't ridicule them for complaining.  Troy used to call me a freak of nature because I wouldn't use my AC for most of the summer. 

Anyway, sorry about this.  I had to get it out before I told the wrong person to STFU and let me be cold.  Hahaha.

It's cool and overcast here today, which I kinda love.  It always puts me in a creative mood, so cross your fingers.

And I had to share.  It's a fitness/health newsletter I get and it always has interesting information about health trends, fitness hacks, etc.  Always with a touch of humor.

Rebel Deck: Get organized damn it.  Shit is everywhere.
- I will have you know that it is not everywhere.  It is confined to my desk, thank you.  Altough, I really do need to address that. Ugh.

And let me preface this by saying, I stay as far away from the Strip as possible when I can.  (Long as heck post incoming.)
( What happens here stays here, I guess )

My post is up and today's topic is bucket lists.  Please come look, comment if you feel comfortable, and help us out!

Or not.  No pressure.  But I would forever love you if you did.  🤣🤣🤣

Post is HERE. 

Thank you!

Last week, Kaige suggested a movie to me.  Unfortunately, it wasn't streaming anywhere, but I did see that my local library had a copy in DVD, so I placed a hold.  I went and picked it up on Saturday and checked the receipt, making note that it was due back on 4/12, the following Saturday.

This morning, I get an email from the library letting me know that, as a courtesy, they've auto-renewed my loan.  I guess they figure I can't watch a 90 minute movie in three days. 

While I apprecaite the gesture, I also find it hilarious. 

So, how's you?

Today's topic is national parks.  Because that's what's on my mind these days. LOL

You can find my post here. 

I only had one commenter last week.  😭😭😭

Yes, I know, it's only Tuesday.  BUT!  I wanted to thank you all for going over and commenting, or even if you just went over and read.  It's all wonderful!

Also, the lady who runs the site had someone offer to do a post for this week, so I get a week off.  I'll be back next week and will let you know.

THANK YOU!
