Gosh, it seems like a long time since I posted one of these! :wink:

Laura Miller enters the Hot Seat today.

A 31-year-old special education teacher from Lake Ariel, Laura, Trisha reports, “has slowly been renovating her house for the past four years. She was in the middle of buying furniture when she got the call from “Millionaire.’’ In fact, she had just given her credit card information to pay for her first “furniture shopping spree.” Her first thought when she got the call — “now I can pay for this!”
She made it onto the show two months after an audience audition in July.

"Now I can pay for this" only if you win some serious money, Laura. We'll have to wait and see how it goes.

Indeed! And it's never a good idea to start a shopping spree you can't pay for, Laura.

She's probably jinxed herself.

I just watched today's show on a TiVo delay because I was on the phone during the first ten minutes.

Four HSers in one day?! Maybe it's me, but the low-value questions seemed very hard today.

I even had trouble with Laura's $16K question. I usually let my computer figure that out.

Must be a bad day for BobJuch and a good day for me. I thought the questions they got wrong were easy. I thought they were all easy.

I rolled my eyes a bit today.

I didn't say I didn't know the answers, just that they seemed harder than usual.

I'm more on on Pea's side, although there was one pre-1K question which stumped me. On the other hand......

If you don't eat your meat, how can you have your pudding?

If you don't know the answer, why don't you use a lifeline?

Even better, use two.

I got distracted by the second answer on the last question of the fourth contestant, and probably would not have used a lifeline.

And that would be a very easily done bye-bye.
