The Jeopardy reruns this week are Ken Jennings' original run. I wonder if they will ever find a permanent replacement for Alex Trebek?

[trystan]

nah, for us it's something about "around the world with Alex" or something like that.  today there was a category with the Sesame Street characters.

 

and they did.... Mike Richards

[Lagie]

Yep. Ken was yesterday. Today it's Sesame Street and a guy named Lizard.

 

Who is Mike Richards?

[trystan]

yep yep!

 

Executive Producer. 

from the article i linked at his name...

Quote

Richards, the current “Jeopardy!” executive producer, will host the long-running daily syndicated program. And, in a surprise move, actor [Mayim] Bialik will host prime-time and spinoff series of the franchise.

 

there's also lots of articles out there calling all the guest-hosting sort rigged and pointless.

[Lagie]

Hunh. Go figure.

Well, it raised a lot of money for charities.

 

I'm watching LEGO Masters now.

[trystan]

i know, right?

yeah - it was about $3 million!  

 

hubby has on America's Got Talent, and the Phillies are on later.

[Lagie]

Enjoy your Phillies!

I'll watch Rachel after this.

[trystan]

will do!

we'll probably watch Rachel tomorrow 

[Lagie]

Good morning, CPA!

*sets out coffee, teas, juices, apples, brownies, and toast with jam*

 

Partly sunny.

I need a bigger shop.

[HangeZoe]

Hello CPA! Sorry it took so long for me to come back. I was kinda maybe not able to use my iPad this summer cuz my dad confiscated it so ya. Also, my life has pretty changed plummeted while I was gone. A big reason is because my 4 year old cat died on 6/9/21 so I’m very sad. I probably won’t be active as much as usual because I’m finally going into 8th grade so yeah. That’s pretty much it. I missed you guys since I was gone. See ya! (For now...)

[Lagie]

Sorry to hear about your cat, @Gavvv24. *hugs* I hope grade 8 goes well. Check in now and again!

[HangeZoe]

I will. Thank you for that.

Good to see you back.

[trystan]

sorry about your kitty, Gavvv. i've had to say goodbye to too many kitties over the years, and it's always hard. {{hugs}}

 

so: my Outlook program on my computer was acting wonky yesterday and today - it just wouldn't connect to the server.  but i'm able to use the web app, so there's that at least.  i was on the phone with tech support yesterday and today to try to figure stuff out, and the tech guy ran a few repair programs and such... only to tell me that it's a known issue when they move stuff around in the folders and things break.  turns out, i'm the only one at my company who was having the issue "right now."  one of our SysAdmins said what she does sometimes with her phone when an app isn't working right is she'll uninstall and reinstall the app, and most of the time it works.  so i did that.... forgetting that Outlook is from Microsoft. i can't just go on FileHippo and download another copy of it! then the tech guy calls back with an update and he wants to try to run another fix on my computer.... so i have to tell him that nope, i uninstalled it!    it's fine.... the web app.  it does what i need it to do.  i don't need a fancy shmancy actual program on my computer if the web app does the same thing, so.... yeah.

 

dragon breeding in a little bit.... it's wednesday, and i'll be sending some Pink Sapphires to the AP soon!

[purplehaze]

@Gavvv24 Sorry about your kitty! Glad to see you back. Hope grade 8 goes well for you. Will you be in the same school or a new one?

 

@trystan I need to breed my Sapphires later, too, but they aren't quite cooled down, yet, I think. I hope they give me more babies than last week.

 

Dentist checkup this morning and I got more bad news -- yet another crown with decay under it that will need to be replaced. No wonder I dread going so much!

i got 5 out of 6 this week, which is better than my first round of Floret breeding..... out of 7 pairs, i only got ONE purple Iris.   hopefully i'll get a Wine/Peach Iris tomorrow!

@trystan, Alex got escorted off an airforce base today. And I got 4/5 of the scrambled Shakespeare ones!

[trystan]

[Lagie]

 

I get one more episode of Anne With an "E" and then I go home tomorrow.

[trystan]

[Lagie]

Morning peeps!

 

@Long_Before_Sunrise Don't forget to put 'chat' text into your posts too. Keep the mods happy.

PDC knows where to find me if she decides I'm worth looking for.

 

Damn, where did the time go?

 

My sleep schedule is "erratic."
