I've never been to a Costco, but I have been to the others and I know they don't serve food.

Question 4 -

JFK suffered from Addison's Disease as well as having back problems. Andy's dad picked up on the "last rites" - JFK is the only Roman Catholic among the 4 choices.

So Andy has a chance to reach Round 2 and the Shriners have the chance to pick up another $10K. Seems like they have made the questions easier.

Q2: Know its not MTV, have never heard of Logo so its probably not that. When I do have access to cable I watch Holmes on Homes, people shopping for homes; you get the picture. I have no use for the Real Whatever stuff, & now its come to bite me. ATA

Q3: Have never seen a lunch counter in Sears, at least not recently, Penny or Home Depot. I know Costco does have them. But I'm only in there when I've borrowed somebody's card to shop for tires, which I don't do any more 'cause if they blow, you've got to get the matching replacements at Costco; not always so easy. And I wouldn't be buying their hot dogs unless they're beef & at least kosher-style. Hold my breath & go for Costco.


Q7: It helps that I've repeatedly read this is supposed to be based on Emma. And I have seen it.

Q9: Haven't seen it. Can't make me. Have read about famous bit, & that's enough. Not my idea of funny. Know who actress is, though.

[ghostjmf]

Q2: Realized immediately I was looking at wrong part of Q; know Lifetime never considered itself hotsy totsy culture; I get it mixed up w/ Hallmark.

But I'd probably have jumped the gun on the show too. And if not, would have had that ATA for Q3 & used it there.
