I only watched the first season. Then it got just too icky for me. (The chemo more than the violence!)

[SoothingDave]

There was an awesome episode that ended the one season. It was titled “Face Off.”

And yes, at the end, someone’s face was off.

They used other Navajo words for animals to symbolize military equipment, troop movements, etc. It was a double-code, and was not revealed till nearly a half-century later.

The writing and acting were awesome, I understand, but it was just a bit much for me!

but that’s OK.

[tioga]

I get it. You in remission? Cured?

It was my aunt(RIP). The chemo was worse than the disease. I was with her through it. But BB just reminded me of her symptoms, so I stopped watching.

[tioga]

Did she make it? Prayers for her. My mother lived with us for two years in and out of hospice, she had heart disease. Was rough, very rough. Didn’t celebrate Halloween for almost ten years, it just seemed totally gross. Started while she was still alive, then was worse after she died. Holiday just made me sad and depressed. Don’t really know why.

[tioga]

oh, RIP. Sorry.

I understand!

We are all mortal, but sometimes it can be really rough.

((((HUGS))))

[Robert A Cook PE]

Considering how McConnell is dragging his heels and pulling his head inside a little shell of DC consultants and Hillary’s press corpse, he displays nothing but testudinal infortitude - and no testicular nerve either.

[tioga]

He needs to retire. A++

[NeoCaveman]

I miss Breaking Bad.

RIP Hank.

[NeoCaveman]

Mitch is rather testudinal indeed.

[SoothingDave]

Hank showed up on Big Bang Theory as an Air Force officer.

[NeoCaveman]

I just watched that episode last night, didn’t recognize him.

Hope he’s on more.

LOL!

Thanks for that! :-)

Every who watched the Presidential debate from start to finish this week had the Testudinal fortitude of a turtle.

A wise athlete is sure to have a testudinal covering for his testiculars …
