. Her Wi-Fi is down, again; she's been trying to get online since noon without success. She has called Comcast, but don't expect her to be here until you see her.

I always wondered about that with time travel shows.I got the DVD box set of Quantum Leap and have been binging it. I'm up to the second season. It was my favorite show when I was 9-13. I do love Scott Bakula. The acting and (most of) the plot lines aren't as bad as a lot of shows of the era so I'm pleasantly surprised. But, wow, maybe I've watched too much Sci Fi since then, because, jeez, they're really messing with temporal integrity and have no concept of the butterfly effect.
So he's supposed to "put right what once went wrong" and saves someone's young wife from an accident that killed her in the original timeline. Al says now she lives to be 103 and had 4 more kids. DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU JUST DID TO HISTORY, SAM? I guess he can't prevent himself from being born because he only leaps within his own lifetime but what about the rest of us? How do you know one of her 4 kids didn't murder me 10 years ago? What if one of them became president? What if one of them became an evil dictator that genocides everyone? LOOK WHAT YOU DID SAM! Now history is entirely changed and that's never addressed. Al's girlfriend should have disappeared because she was born from that guy's second marriage that never happened because his first wife didn't die, or something like that.
Haha, sorry, I had to nerd out and didn't have anyone to rant to, lol.
Mamanyt1953 - I'm so sorry. Please forward my condolences.
Midway definitely hates that door shut, any door shut (don't lock him out of the bathroom), but he yowls at other times too....like right now. He's in the dining room and no one else is.
And crazy as it sounds, if it's too darn early to get up I can bring him into the bedroom with me and shut him in and he's calm as can be.
I'm going to be off the bike for a while. Today was the first pain free day in 6 months. I could manage without the sling, but first pain-free day in 6 months - that's too much temptation to turn down. It's the weight. When the sling slipped to where my arm angled downward in the slightest and the shoulder had to handle any weight some of the pain would come back. I just, I just don't want to hurt anymore. I know it's modest pain, 3 or 4 on the pain scale, but now I have a way of avoiding even a 1 and I don't want to turn it down, even if it means limiting my activity.
Just be prepared for my whining when I'm needing to rebuild arm strength because I'm too weak-willed to turn down temptation.
Thank you, both of you.
Willowy, That is so weird.. I was looking at the Quantum Leap series, just the other day. I was thinking of buying it for myself as a combo B-day/Christmas Gift.I got the DVD box set of Quantum Leap and have been binging it. I'm up to the second season. It was my favorite show when I was 9-13. I do love Scott Bakula. The acting and (most of) the plot lines aren't as bad as a lot of shows of the era so I'm pleasantly surprised.

Yeah, I kind of figured that was part of their excuse. But they're still changing history, and they never address the fact that now all of history is changed and not just that one person's history. Or maybe they do in later seasons, I'll pay attention for that.Since it was, as far as they could tell, God who was determining where Sam leaped, it made sense to conclude that it was okay to fix whatever he ran into. In that way, this was a very faith-based show.
There was a 2-parter where Sam leaped into Lee Harvey Oswald and tried to stop JFK's assassination. He didn't succeed, but according to Al that wasn't what he was there for. Al said that in the original timeline Jackie was killed as well, and Sam saved her life, which led directly to our timeline.Yeah, I kind of figured that was part of their excuse.

Ouch!I'm an idiot. I went to my favorite cheap Italian place and got my favorite meal. They call it a "boat" but it's basically a funny shaped calzone. And when it was plunked down in front of me, I realized I should have gotten pasta. How do you cut up a calzone when you only have one arm? It took me over an hour to eat it and it was a pretty messy process.
I just found People of Earth. It's about an alien abduction group and the three types of aliens that are in 'reports of abduction'. It's a comedy, without being a stupid comedy with nothing but jokes.Is there anything that I should try out that is not TOO dumb but intelligent even if it is NOT educational?
Quantum Leap is ancient, I think I was still a minor child when it was being produced. Side note, did it have a Halloween episode involving a teenage Stephen King? Or was that another show?Is there anything that I should try out that is not TOO dumb but intelligent even if it is NOT educational?
If I remember correctly, you are right.Side note, did it have a Halloween episode involving a teenage Stephen King? Or was that another show?
