You know, the whole thing is just sickening. They're not the first, either. How in h*.* do these "credit reporting" companies gain access to our information in the first place??!!!! I certainly didn't "share" my information with them, nor did you. I don't understand how any of this can be legal. They should all be shut down.

And $125 is all they gave -- what about the people who've spent so much money trying to clear up the MESS that Equifax created? (Side note: MA Attorney General suing Equifax on behalf of MA residents affected by data breach. Reuters reported that a Suffolk Superior Court Judge ruled that Equifax could not dismiss the lawsuit, due to gross negligence on its part, due to their breach of legal duties to address all reasonable forseeable risks to data security. Equifax failed to patch or upgrade its software, for its serious vulnerability in their computer code.

And now, the latest is the Capitol One bank breach. WTH???!!!

I didn’t need to state my opinion on this because you did such a fine job for me.

@ajrwdwgirl , what did you think of the finale last night of The Bachelorette?!

I couldn't believe she chose Jed, over Peter and Tyler! Lots of surprises last night in the "live" show.

So at the end of the show when Tyler came out on stage, what was your impression? Do you think that he and Hannah will get together, since she dumped Jed, after Jed's lies were revealed? (Hard to predict about Tyler, as I assume he would still be resentful that he was a cast-off, but he did still seem very interested in her. Maybe because he realized she was caught up in the show's unreality/reality, etc., he might give her some slack.)

I felt she made the wrong choice of picking Jed, but I’m glad she dumped him. He did seem a little slimy and turns out he was. I hope she and Tyler can continue to get to know each other more, he seems like a decent guy. And it looked like they were both still quite interested in each other. I thought Peter would be a good match too. Looking forward to Paradise starting next week.

And back to the data breach problems. There needs to be better security and I don’t know if it is possible nowadays with the internet. There is always going to be a way to hack into a companies computer systems. It is just plain obvious at this point. Maybe everything needs to be fingerprinted. I don’t know. But there should be more accountability.

Happy Harry Potter's Birthday View attachment 394822 Guess what we're going to do all day? It's raining so we'll be inside all day

The like is for the movie marathon. Sorry about the rain. Partly sunny here right now but rain will be coming later.

I don’t even watch the Bachelorette, but I’ve heard of Jed. . He’s the guy who came on for his music career and had a girlfriend, right?
I had seen a lot of posts on social media after the hometown visits.

I do wonder how much of that is pushed by the producers, did the girl really not have any suspicions?

I think a lot of these reality shows are a little bit staged. Wanna be actors.

Me too. I’m watching the Hills New Beginnings, but haven’t even watched the latest episode. I thought this one would be a little more real (I thought the last one was real until the cast said otherwise lol)... but really it looks like a lot of staged drama.

@dryerlintfan Happy Birthday!!!

Maybe these shows are cheaper to produce? We used to watch The Amazing Race, but got bored after a few years.

I still like Amazing Race and Survivor. I think if there was a reality show I could maybe do it would be Amazing Race, I like seeing where they go and when the challenges have a cultural context to them I think that is cool.

I like the amazing race... we stopped watching it for a few years, but picked it back up this year and enjoyed it.

She must love it all or she wouldn’t do it. Good luck to her! Hope her dance team does better this season.

The dance is the Performing Troupe she does through a private studio. No one seems to be sure if the competitive dance team will happen this year. Coaches aren't talking.

 

[MouseDreaming]

Sounds like it will be an incredible show!

T and I sometimes sit and watch YouTube clips of the OSU band. I’m always impressed by any band, their synchronization, creativity, and the amount of work to get to that point!

OSU always does great shows. You should check out some of the DCI shows. Good stuff.

We used to watch the Amazing Race too.. and then I started figuring out that they were purposely keeping the team with the most drama, always “non elimination rounds” when they would lose. It annoyed me so I stopped watching.

T is obsessed with American Ninja Warrior, that’s a good show because it’s only on performance not on any kind of drama.
Same with America’s Got Talent. Those are the only two shows that we watch, besides soccer.. and my guilty Hills pleasure once he’s asleep.

I still like Amazing Race and Survivor. I think if there was a reality show I could maybe do it would be Amazing Race, I like seeing where they go and when the challenges have a cultural context to them I think that is cool.

I used to watch Survivor every season, always excited for it.. then I went with 2 seasons on my DVR that I never had time to watch, gave up and deleted them.

Thanks for the recommendation, we will do that for sure.

There was an expose on Survivor and they're never really very far from towns and nice accommodations. They had a behind the scenes for Naked and Afraid and that was a little more in the wilderness, but they did give the show participants medical care and some food and water off camera.

Kings Island’s new teaser.,.






Unfortunately, this can’t be kept as much of a secret as the #whatsintheshed campaign. Anyone who has been on WindSeeker can see the construction of the new coaster. T wants to do it every time to check progress. I hate WindSeeker!


According to a newspaper, the new giga coaster will break all current height records in the USA. My kiddo is impatiently waiting for the official announcement to find out the exact details... the teasers are confusing!

Hershey is going to be getting a new coaster next year called Candymonium. My son cannot wait for it. We may get ap's for Hershey next year because all the construction will be completed.
