I had 4 of the letters (1 green and 3 yellow) in 2. I was going to take a shot at it in 3, but I said, play it safe and go with what got me here, my usual logic. Which I did and got it in 4.
This is a common word in crossword puzzles, so once I saw the letters, it was pretty easy for me.

Anyone else want to take a shot at these movies from Burt Lancaster?

Several of the characters aren't as well known as the movies, but all are from top-notch movies and I'm sure most have seen them all.

I just finished this season and WOW, never expected that. Seem like they took a page from Ozark.

I can't say whether or not this is/was the best season as each season has been great, from Season 1 where they introduced us to Jimmy and Chuck, right thru Jimmy's transformation into Saul. He is a treasure to be valued and used again.

Still, the biggest question is what will happen to Kim?

Just a curious thing, I thought Mike had someone watching Jimmy and Kim's home so how did Lalo get in?

Again, does anyone know what happen to Zeke?

Was everyone really satisfied with the way the series wrapped up?

I think I have mentioned this several times, but my darling wife is a huge fan of a certain genre of Reality shows like Married at First Sight, Temptation Island, et al. You know dating and love 'em or leave 'em type of shows. I also enjoy watching some of these shows, along with the old standard Survivor which I have watched faithfully every year it is on.
Myself, I also happen to really like Naked and Afraid, a show that has been on (and still is on) for almost 10 years now. My DVR is set so whenever a new season or just a new episode is on, it records it and I watch. It may not be for everyone, but I enjoy these types of survival shows. I never got into Bear Grylls (SP) but whenever I did watch his shows I did like them.

Call me silly or sometimes like a peeping Tom, but I do enjoy these types of shows and watch them all the time.

I also LOVE Shark Tank. Another sort of reality show, and me and the missus never tire of weatching this show.

Fear of marriage or commitment

It is characterized by feelings of excessive and persistent fear of being in a relationship, making a commitment, or getting married. It can make it difficult to form relationships with other people and interfere with a person's ability to function normally in their daily life.

I pay $145 a month for unlimited calls, text, Wi-Fi internet. I pay an additional $10 a month for two TB of backup to ICloud to include the thousands of pictures I have. My phone holds 256 GB with 156 available. I have hundreds of Apps.

OK Ric, we are almost thru with this series (2 episodes left) and we know why the defendant wanted the trial ASAP, as you said.

As of now, I find the show OK, but really no more than that. I find some of the drama to be a bit over the top, some things are just plain stupid (for example, the guy who is working for Haller. He was looking for something in the trash bin so he jumps in and is going thru the garbage instead of just taking the small bag of garbage with him so as not to be seen, which he was)

I like when he is telling his driver about how to work a trail, that is very interesting, but even some of the side things, like the Asian dude, I find basically uninteresting.

I'll comment finally when we are finished.

I have tried the solutions posted here and it seems to have corrected the problem.

Ric

We have had Mint Mobile for about 2 years now and like you pay the $180 per year and couldn't be happier with them. We even loaded some money to use internationally; roaming while we were cruising and were able to call from our ports of call.

I will start looking around for a new phone ASAP.

My wife and I have always slept in a Full bed. Don't ask me why we never graduated to a Queen or even larger, but we seem to like the closeness of the bed. My wife's father was in the mattress business eons ago, and she was always brought up with the thinking the firmer the bed the better it is for your back, which with many of today's mattresses that just isn't so. So she LOVES a firm to hard mattress while I enjoy some comfort in a softer bed. Having a Full mattress sort of eliminates a lot of the dual sides as most don't have that. We have tried several of the 'foam' ones which I loved, but she didn't.
We are actively looking at a Sleep Number bed and, as you said, the cost simply doesn't outweigh the good night's sleep option.

I had all the letters except the first one in three, so it was easy to get it in 4.

Time for a few more

1---"I was a better man with you, as a woman... than I ever was with a woman, as a man. You know what I mean?"


2---"Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again." "Spring and summer" "Yes." "Then fall and winter" "Yes."


3---
