That is why we Northeasterners have Yak-trax and mini pry bars in our backpacks......

Well, I don't anymore since I moved south, but we boxed in all types of weather!

I totally do that here in Florida.... "Responsible." Yes, being responsible. *nodding. (For me, I do it for the gag factor.....).

BB

I will make you one Memere. Didn't hear back from my response.

BB

Check your AQ mail please.

I miss watching snow...... However, I am carving stamps here in FL to be planted later this week, and carving for L&B too!

Maine clue just dropped today... not as easy. Only can get there by ferry (at the cost of $52 pp, round trip), and this one you have to be there ON TIME, and stay for the duration. Not ADA accessible. This one might be less crowded! (cost and time frame.)

From Clyde’s quiet harbor, leave mainland behind,
To cliffs loved by artists and battered by brine.

First named by Samoset before English claim,

One roadless village, though none bears its name.

Know Before You Go: Outdoors, approximately 4 hours.

Begins promptly at the scheduled start time. Late arrivals may not be able to participate. Once underway, participants must remain with the experience until it concludes. Dress very warm. Uneven terrain with possible rain, ice, or sleet.

Not ADA Accessible.

According to Google maps, a road trip for me would be 3,310 miles to Are You A Faithful! A mere 49 hour drive. Of course, I could fly - that would only take 11 hours. le sigh...

One of these days I'm going to take a trip to the east cost where all the boxes are.

ouch...

Its about a 3 hour drive from me. Not to bad. Its one of those 'how many boxes can I find in the area before it gets dark?' trips...lol.

The reason I started this darn thread so we can discuss each episode, but then realized it would be all spoilers. ughhhhh.......

I do use the BBC app where the 'gamers' talk about the episode in live time. (mostly survivor and BB players) That's always fun to read along as they go.

I always love the inside scope. I'm nosey that way.

Soooooo, Jimmy…….I watched Dr. No and it was fun. So funny because it’s so dated. I got a kick out of it.

But I tried to watch the second one, From Russia With Love and got annoyed about the totally unnecessary Gypsy belly dancer (that went on FOREVER) followed by a totally unnecessary cat fight between two busty, hair pulling Gypsy girls so Bond, James Bond could pick a winner and obviously go to bed with both of them, though that was implied. No one is actually having sex in these early ones. You just see before and after. Lol Did they later? I dunno. lol

I might give Goldfinger a look. 👀 lol

The way most message boards that I frequent address this issue, is to title the thread thusly:

The Traitors TV show thread - OPEN SPOILERS

That way if one clicks on it and get spoilerd, it's on them.

ETA: Have you watched Boston Rob's Traitors podcast? It's pretty good... as those things go.

Warning: it's for ep 4 of the current American season - massive spoilers ahead.

I’ll have to put ice trax in my pack. I’ve been on some hilly trails that are covered in ice. Already carry a small ax to hack at the ice or frozen ground to access a box. Never thought of the biological means of melting frozen ground…haha.

......One of my all time favorite movies just showed up free on Netflix!! Amazon is still charging for it.

Oh gosh, I just realized why Netflix added it. Catherine O'Hara passed away.
She was only 71. :(((

It's on Netflix?!?! I had this baby on DVD lol

The Martian is one of the few that does a great job as book and movie!

Having showed dogs for 25 years I just love this movie! it is truer than you know! Today (Feb 3) the Westminster Kennel Club show is going on in NYC. This is probably the most prestigious dog show in the United States. It concludes at Madison Square Garden tonight and is televised.

One of my favs, as well, as was Catherine O’Hara. As a funny side note, one of my best friends shows afghan hounds and showed her winning-est dog, Louis, last night at Westminster, in the Legends showcase. We were in NYC to see them over the weekend. And we went to Westminster the year Louis won Best of Group and competed in the final seven for BIS. It is such an iconic atmosphere, and lots of characters, just like the movie!

Due to Webfoots devastating house fire, has anyone found carving material similar to the white stuff that she sold? It was the best thing ever and I need all the help I can get when trying to carve. Thanks.

Throwing in a hundred more hugs. 💙💙💙

I love the dog show. I always try to watch it if I know it’s on. Or I’ll catch a re-run of it. I especially love the hunting and herding dogs.

There’s a guy in Scotland with a YouTube channel. I love watching his dogs herding the sheep. There’s one of a “puppy” just learning. Great dogs!

Fantastic movie! NMRK and I just had a memorial viewing of A Mighty Wind and we'll probably throw on Waiting for Guffman in the next day or two as schedule allows.

Catherine O'Hara was just freakin' iconic in about everything she was in! Queen of Improv!

I need to mail a 3x3” stamp for an event. Pink stuff is 1/4” thick, so I can’t safely mail it in an envelope at regular first-class rates. Do I need to spring for a padded envelope and expensive shipping? Thanks!

I almost always read the book before viewing any movie that spawns from it, at lest if it's a book I'm invested in reading. One of the exceptions was watching No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy. I enjoyed the movie and really wasn't that familiar with McCarthy, so I decided to backtrack and read the actual book... That's when I found out that he was such a spartan author that his novel was basically scene for scene with the movie... almost no interior thoughts just bam what was in the film is that which was in the novel. He and the Coen's are very well suited for each other!

when I mail stamps to folks - I generally use regular envelopes and then reinforce the heck out of them with clear packing tape so they don't burst through the seams. I end up paying a parcel rate due to the thickness... but the upside is they automatically get a tracking number :)

Thanks, mud! You’re actually the person I’ll be mailing the stamp to (though not for a couple of weeks)!

I do that also, but usually sandwich the stamp between two pieces of rigid (but not necessarily thick) cardboard ... like two pieces of a cereal box type cardboard.

Thanks, Basset Mom! I’ve done that in the past, in a padded envelope.

You could use a bubble mailer/padded envelope and use stamps instead of a shipping label. It usually takes 3 stamps or so, same price as it would be in a reinforced envelope but much more secure.

If you have any mounting type foam you can cut some the general shape of the stamp, put a piece on each side and then put packing tape around it. That always works. You can use a regular unpadded envelope for that. They always arrive unscathed.

I no longer trust the PO and put the stamp in a small box.
