Oct 2019

From a weekend visiting 93yr old mom who is in asst living now. At this point she will watch pretty much anything, but does like Family Feud with Steve Harvey. I can deal with that for a couple of hours.

A few years back when she made her own choices, it was TORTURE to visit and have to sit through hours of the Pawn Stars, and Pickers (Is it American Pickers?). Omg, there were times I was ready to cut my wrists!! She also liked Dancing with the Stars which I also can't stand. Like you say, it seemed so fake and the suspense of waiting to see who would be eliminated...aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
