I am totally an old lady watching movies at home if I don't have the subtitles on. I'll be all, "WHAAAAT? WHAT DID HE SAY? DID HE SAY HE'S THE KILLER? OR WHAT'S FOR DINNER?" So subtitles are always on our movies/Netflix shows.

I just looked up Zaycon shopgirl I'd never heard of it...sadly none near me. Looks interesting!
I love it so far. I like to buy in bulk when I can save money and it's a great way to do it if you've got the freezer space.
We ordered chicken thighs last time and they were so juicy and tender. I picked up 80/20 beef today and it came frozen in 2lb pkgs. I'll be ordering the kielbasa after payday comes. It's pretty versatile and works to use as hot dogs or breakfast links.
DH and I bought a new board game over the weekend called Isle of Skye. We've played it twice this week and everyone loves it. I'm super excited because when we were at the game store buying it DH made the comment that we should buy a new game per month. I plan to hold him to that comment, I don't care how off-handed it might have been, LOL. And when we were playing Sunday night we saw a full-size deer strolling through our backyard and a fox when we took the dog for a walk. Who knew there was so much wildlife in a stormwater stream area near the busy street behind us!
Please keep us posted on your monthly game purchases and reviews. I need some ideas.
You should buy Thunderstone! It's by far my favorite. Or RoboRally. Smallworld is really easy and fun. Oh, or Empire Builder if you're into trains. Puerto Rico, Mystery Express, Istanbul, Last Night On Earth, Cyclades...

H has great hearing and usually has the remote. I give him about five minutes into the movie to either turn it up or put the subtitles on. Sometimes I need to remind him lol
I worked at a racetrack (cars) for 9 years and I think that's what killed my hearing

But Thunderstone, though. That's the best.
Thunderstone looks a bit complicated for my relatively short attention span - is it hard to learn and set up? Robo Rally looks fun and I like that it's for 2-8 players - we are always looking for a game to play in groups of all sizes. Empire Builder looks promising, too!

Thunderstone is easier than it looks. Or at least i think it is.

Well, you are probably a genius.
ETA: That sounds sassy and sarcastic but I meant neither!

I started my ending paperwork for summer school today and almost all of my students showed growth in reading! I'm so happy! I thought my week vacation was going to mess up my data horribly.

I hope my comment re: subtitles wasn't offensive to those who are actually having actual hearing problems. I don't have hearing loss that I know of but I do need to ask people, "what?" more often than I probably should and subtitles definitely help me not miss things. Especially when the characters have accents (Call the Midwife, Wentworth).

I have a hard time understanding accents, too. I also cannot comprehend any song lyrics.

LOVE Robo Rally. That was fun. Have played Smallworld and Last Night on Earth and they were not my cup of tea.
Another fun train one is Ticket to Ride. Takenoko is a really fun one for smaller groups.

We have Ticket to Ride and enjoy it! Takenoko looks super cute.

This house I really love (it's not my overall dream home, just my fav in our neighborhood) is up for sale. This is the second time in like a year in a half. It's so pretty.

We have our contractor coming over today to do paperwork to get out new roof on. I have no idea if he's going to want to come inside the house but I don't feel like cleaning. We can do paperwork outside right?
badwolf , what kind of game is Isle of Sky? I've been super into Splendor and King of Tokyo lately.
It's a tile-play strategy game where you build your own kingdom while trying to score as many points as possible. This isn't from any of my game plays but this is what the board could look like:

Definitely.
I had to clean my house for the inspector. He is inspecting windows, so every freakin' room.
ThankfulSnail we really like Ticket to Ride and Settlers of Catan too.
Brother and SIL just bought Forbidden Island which is a cooperative game but they say it's pretty fun. They want to buy World's Fair next. I'm not sure what that is but they say it looks really fun.

I don't really want strangers in my house anyway. And neither do my dogs.
