Did you figure out what was wrong? My parents had a problem with things not freezing in their freezer and the problem turned out to be a bad seal on their freezer.

Not really. As a matter of fact, I'm not sure if I still have it in there or if my father ate it...

What flavor was the ice cream?

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Aug 08, 2019 11:45 am

Reeses chocolate and peanut butter with peanut butter cups and peanut butter pieces sprinkled in.

Anyone else been watching Infinity Train? Because that last episode.... OW.

Infinity Train is a five-day event thing like Over The Garden Wall, right? I think I'm going to wait until it's all out (which should be tonight) to then watch the whole thing at once.

Yep. I’ve been watching it as it airs, and the latest episode that aired yesterday REALLY HURT.

That comparison really had me excited until I realized you only meant its format. Boo.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Wed Aug 14, 2019 1:32 am

Disappointed?

well I'd say its sort of a sci-fi variation on the same basic elements of Over The Garden Wall. Kid exploring a strange world, meeting new friends at least one of which is a talking animal. and a mystery to solve.

Legotron123 · Post by **Legotron123** » Wed Aug 14, 2019 9:25 pm

I haven’t seen Over the Garden Wall, so I can’t say how accurate it is to compare the two, but I can say this might be the first show where I yelled yes out loud because a robot went “doodle-ledoot.” It also has one of my favorite recent examples of dark humor.
”One-One, that thing wasn't your friend. ”
”Gasp! Goodness! Was it my mum? ”
”It was trying to hurt us.”
”...the question stands...”

Yeah. I loved Over the Garden Wall so I thought you were comparing it to it in style!

Well if you like shows about kids getting stuck in strange places and solving the mysteries of those places while a strange inhuman being stalks them, I think you’ll like Infinity Train!

Spent 3 days in Vermont to visit my grandparents and I have to admit they are NOT doing well at all and they hate where they are living now. My grandmother is in so much pain she can't get up and my grandfather shows open contempt to the nurse's at the retirement home. Not only that, but the place is a dump. Their room is small and their bathroom is SMALLER than an outhouse. Oh and its out of the way to get to since it is literally overlooking the border to Canada.

I'm worried that they aren't gonna recover but I didn't say anything because my aunt went crazy just trying to find a place to get them into since they needed a nursing home after my grandmother fractured her vertebra in a fall.

trekkie · Post by **trekkie** » Thu Aug 22, 2019 7:20 am

Gah. I’m sorry to hear that, Dayzee.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Thu Aug 22, 2019 12:09 pm

I, too, Dayzee. A couple of decades, we went through the nine circles of the Inferno to find a place for my father-in-law who was dementia and becoming increasingly hard to manage. We went through three places, each one assuring us they had no problems handling patients with outbursts. At the first outburst, each one of them sent him back to us. The fourth time, I basically told the Home that he was coming back into our house over my dead body (the missus wasn't home to hear that conversation). Well, befuddled, they sent him to a hospital which sent him to Dorothy Dix until they could find a place able to handle him (i.e. glorified warehousing but DD was overwhelmed). There, he contracted pneumonia and left us before he could be moved on.

The elder care situation in the country does not seemed to have improved much - not for elders, not for caretakers, not for much of anyone. Maybe I'm just channeling my dark side because I went to a friend's funeral this morning. Nuff'said…..

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Aug 22, 2019 4:04 pm

I am hoping that everything works out for them but at the same time I'm feeling they might be on their way out...

Legotron123 · Post by **Legotron123** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 11:09 pm

Hope you at least get to say your goodbyes before they’re gone.
To change the mood from sad to surreal, Hasbro now owns Death Row Records, the company that produces artists like Tupac, Doctor Dre, and Snoop Dog. This means that, among other things, Hasbro can legally play Snoop Dog in the background of Power Rangers. The Red Ranger could be listening to Serial Killa as he goes through a training exercises, or the Yellow Ranger could listen to Gangsta Love during her morning run.
Or maybe Snoop will just sing the next seasons theme song. That’d be kinda neat.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 11:29 pm

I would definitely watch the next season if Snoop (either Dogg or Lion) rapped/sang the theme song. LOL

trekkie · Post by **trekkie** » Sat Aug 24, 2019 8:16 am

I would watch that, and I’m not even a Power Ranger fan.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Aug 24, 2019 1:36 pm

Why just have one rapper being the creator of the theme song? Death Row Records has a lot of rappers. Why not use two or more? How about Snoop Dogg, Petey Pablo, Dr. Dre, Bow Wow, MC Hammer and Mark Morrison?

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Sat Aug 24, 2019 3:21 pm

… or Peppa Pig? Hasbro now owns that franchise, too.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Aug 24, 2019 10:34 pm

Well technically Peppa isn't a rapper but it would be amusing if Peppa sung the theme song or made a cameo in one of the shows owned by Hasbro.

In the meantime, fun fact. Hasbro is headquartered in the city I live in which is Pawtucket, RI.

Legotron123 · Post by **Legotron123** » Sat Aug 24, 2019 10:58 pm

Now I’m just waiting for the inevitable Avengers style movie where the Autobots, the Power Rangers and G.I. Joe team up with Rom Space Knight, Peppa Pig, and Snoop Dog to fight Unicron.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Sun Aug 25, 2019 2:36 pm

Okay, I'd see that. Probably through an alcohol-induced haze, but I'd go see it....

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Aug 25, 2019 5:04 pm

In other news, I spent 2 hours at the hospital due to an excruciating headache that I couldn't get to go away which started in 1 in the morning and wouldn't let me sleep. The drugs that they gave me started working right away. How I wish I could have gotten them with an OTC prescription because I feel great now!

Nathan Kerbonaut · Post by **Nathan Kerbonaut** » Mon Aug 26, 2019 3:20 pm

Sorry to hear you went through that, Dayzee. Glad the medicine worked. Did you find out whatever caused it to flare up?

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Aug 26, 2019 4:42 pm

Nope. It's probably gonna stay a mystery. I mean I get headaches a lot but nothing like that. It was so painful. My mother thought it was a migraine. I was very clammy and nauseous. At first my mother was afraid it was Triple E (Eastern equine encephalitis). The only other time I needed to go to the hospital was 3 years ago with the same symptoms.

Glad it wasn't Triple E as on the news a few minutes ago I heard that a woman somewhere in Massachusetts died from it. You get it from mosquito bites.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Mon Aug 26, 2019 6:13 pm

Yeah, the outbreak was in Methuen, Mass. Very not good.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Aug 26, 2019 11:32 pm

There have also been cases in Rhode Island but nothing that is fatal.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Sat Aug 31, 2019 8:58 am

It's getting worse - time for a good cold snap.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Aug 31, 2019 1:09 pm

To think that my mother is dreading the coming winter as well as the autumn.

trekkie · Post by **trekkie** » Mon Sep 02, 2019 5:32 am

I never liked winter, or summer, I much preferred fall and spring. A good freeze does help kill off mosquitoes, though I’ll say that for it.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Mon Sep 02, 2019 11:18 am

Yeah, but I'll miss the butterflies. Been a lot this year.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Sep 02, 2019 2:31 pm

I will miss them too. I am so shocked that there were so many.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Fri Sep 13, 2019 7:44 pm

… and now the Wooley Bear caterpillars are out. Must be Autumn.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Sep 13, 2019 10:59 pm

Technically we have 10 more days before autumn even starts so if that is the case, then they are very earlier and bad at telling time.

trekkie · Post by **trekkie** » Sat Sep 14, 2019 10:27 am

Autumn is probably my favorite season, if only because of the apple cider donuts they make at a farm market near my house.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Sep 14, 2019 1:56 pm

Over here we can only get that at a local Dunkin'.
