That was fun. I never watched West Wing. The only scene I’d ever watched prior to this one was the Butterball Turkey hotline scene. I guess I need to break down and watch the whole damn thing, don’t I? I don’t know, previously I’d have said, YES watch it! It’s great! Originally it was funny and poignant. But now it’s just a reminder of all we have lost and how far we have regressed. lucyg I am gobsmacked you haven’t watched it, I really think you’ll enjoy it. But hop2 I agree with you, when DH and I watch now it’s a punch in the gut for sure.

I never felt like watching because it’s fiction. I was more interested in the real thing. Also, I’m not very good at sitting down and watching series TV. Still haven’t watched the last season of BBT or the last two seasons of Downton, and I loved them both. So I’ll probably never really get around to West Wing, either.

This is simply unacceptable Just try one episode. And see if you can stop there, ha! But I hear you about not sitting down to watch TV series. Every now and again I’ll get on a kick, especially for a series with a short season. But I still haven’t finished the first season of Ted Lasso and I loved it, if that tells you anything! I watched all but the last episode in just a few days and then I was just done watching TV for a while. Now that baseball has started up it’s been about a week of TV every day. But it might have been a month or two prior that I last watched anything.

mollycoddle When 1 finger is pointed out to someone or something, there are 3 fingers that are pointing back towards the finger-pointer. Usually the thumb is keeping these 3 fingers together. Just a thought. I have read, and RE-READ this several times, but I don't understand what it means? lucyg....Along with the other PEAple that said you'd love "West Wing", I agree! I know you said you rarely keep up with series, but it's sooo good! Verrrry rapid dialog sometimes, and some unknown (for me) terminology. Many times, I'd pause the scene and look up the meaning of what they were talking about. Since you and many other peas are knowledgable about government and politics, you probably already know terms like "majority whip", but I definitely didn't.

I think the saying quiltz used just means that when someone accuses another person doing something wrong, it’s actually they themselves who are actually guilty of doing the wrong thing. One finger is pointing at the accused, but three more are pointing backwards at the accuser.
