Sometimes sopranos especially Paulie

It is funny in that the Sopranos did have some very amusing moments especially once you got to know the characters. The episode when Christoper and Pauli were stuck out in the woods, after that Russian dude. ON the surface, it wasn't much to be amused, but knowing Chris and Paulie and the way they interacted, freezing wt al, it was hilarious. Especially when Bobby, dressed in full outdoor hunting gear is sent to rescue them.
I would say a lot of very dark humor.

Without going thru this thread again, here are a few more 'characters' that made good movies great and great movies, outstanding. As we have already said, sometimes it's not the star, but another character that people remember that made that movie great.

Joe Pesci--My Cousin Vinnie
AND you also have to add Maria Tomei and Fred Gywnn as co-stars who, without them, the movie never would have been what it was.

Daniel Day-Lewis (in basically anything he ever did) but I want to site Bill 'The Butcher' Cutting in Gangs of New York. Whenever he was on screen the movie just seemed to amp up another notch

John Travolta as Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever

Peter Finch as Howard Beale in Network (You know, I'm mad as hell)

Samuel Jackson as Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction

Dustin Hoffman as Ratso Rizzo in Midnight Cowboy

Robert Shaw as Quint in Jaws (Just a perfect example of a guy that sort of steals the movie)

Sidney Pointier as Virgil Tibbs in --In the Heat of the Night  (also add t that Rod Steiger as an equally great performance)

Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates in Psycho

Bela Lugosi as Dracula (Could there ever be a better Dracula?)

Jack Nicholson (again, one of many) as the Joker in the first Batman. To me, the movie dragged except when he was on screen. What a tour-de-farce for him.

Margaret Hamilton was the perfect actress for that part with that screeching laughter.

You said it, she was perfect for that role. She almost died doing it also, when her costume caught on fire when she disappeared the first time in Munchkin Land. She did get burned.

Funny though, it WAs an iconic role but most people ended up knowing her from those Maxwell House commercials, as Cora

PS, the red-headed 'kid' is David Caruso

I really don't know why but today was tough. I really struggled with that OO. That completely fooled me. It took me six also and a lot of time and I am lucky I didn't go with NOOSE instead of GOOSE. I had already tried MOOSE.

Doris thanks you for the best wishes. 

Cinderella was 75 years old after a fulfilling life with the now passed-away Prince, happily sat upon her rocking chair, watching the world go by from her front porch, with a cat called Alan for companionship.



One sunny afternoon, out of nowhere, appeared the Fairy Godmother.

A good friend sent me this today and I found it just fascinating.

Here is a list of guys, most of who we have never heard of, who all won the Medal of Honor, many posthumously, who did what was expected of them and so much more. Not for fame or glory but because it was their duty.

These are the people who should be looked up to and their names should not be forgotten as soon as we finish the article. Anyway, I found it a great read, and be sure to read what each man did to deserve this honor.

On this list is Desmond Doss, the only conscientious objector to win the Medal Of Honor. If you have never seen the movie they made about him, 'Hacksaw Ridge', I would urge you to see it. A wonderful watch and I can guarantee you will never forget his name again.

Since I am a complete nerd at anything computer related, usually finding my way by trial and error, as I said in my post the other day, I usually get to Wordle by the link in the OP. Today that link did not work, so I went back and saw how to get there, and I succeeded. But I was trying to get this link somewhere where I can access it easily and I simply cannot see how to do this. I saved it to my favorites, but does that mean I have to open my favorites, find the link and go that way? There has to be an easier way.

As with Ric, I only play on my desktop.

Wordle 356 4/6

??🟨?🟨
?🟨??🟩
🟩????
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I finally figured out how to do this.

I had all the letters with my 3 first-round picks and I sort of found it easy to move them around to form a word.

I think most people do Wordle on their phones instead of their home computer. As for me, I do absolutely nothing on my phone except make calls, take calls, and on occasion read/type a text message....oh yeah, and take pictures sometimes when a camera is not handy. Most people I know use their phone for just about everything that most do on their computer. As for me, I only use my PC in the living room. I need a full size keyboard to babble on as I do because I'm brevity challenged. I was getting the message you stated, but I simply changed my Wordle button on my "most used" list to the new link and it works just like the old link without the annoying message that it is changing to NY Times

Since I don't use my phone for Wordle, I am not familiar with the issues they are facing. I assume a lot of people use their phones to play the game as they can send a picture of their attempts that is filled with question marks, yellow spots and green spots. I can't do that on my PC and have to take a snapshot of my finished product then copy and paste a block of color over the letters - tedious, but works

We should start a club as the only people who can't live without their phones. 

We are so alike in that I do exactly as you, use my phone for phone calls, an occasional text, and a rare pic or two. I am IT blind. We even swear by the same phone provider--Mint Mobile, as it is perfect for us limited users and for $15 a month, you just can't beat that.

Gosh, I wish I could meet you there. Ben's is our favorite Deli, only we go to the one on Long Island, (Carle Place). We are there at least once a month. I can't say they have the best pastrami in NY as I haven't gotten the chance to taste all the others, but, if not some of the best, they sure come close.
Seriously, next time you are entering our boundaries, please, give us a heads up and I know several of us would love to enjoy sharing a meal with you.

The grilled one kinda looks appealing, at least to me.

5 for me also. i had the last 4 letters and there were a few decent possibilities for the first. I guessed wrong a couple of times.

For what it is worth and I know I do this the hard way, but when I go on this Wordle, I always used the link provided by Ric in his initial post. It takes me to the page saying it is now the NY Times and gives the link for Wordle.

Is this what everyone has been talking about?

Just jealous.

Thanks Tim
