Favoriting Bryce: Playlist from December 2, 2022 Favoriting

I never miscue a record. I am punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter. Outgoing and helpful, I'm always appropriately dressed. I do not behave erratically and have excellent penmanship. My CD's never skip, and I am in good health. I like all the notes, in any order.

@Philip UGH. I feel your pain. Me, I am looking at no working toilet from yesterday onward...I really want the super to fix, not a plumber, I know he can do it but he's crazy busy. In the meantime, it's not too bad -- I just have a plastic pitcher that I have to fill to flush with. Basically the tank seal that the flapper sits against is corroded so the tank doesn't fill (and it would waste thousands of gallons to let it trickle on, so turned water to it off). Unfortunately that requires taking off the entire toilet tank to put the new seal in, and I'm not gonna play around with that. If I call a plumber, even if I explain EXACTLY what is wrong and send pictures, they'll show up without the part and then charge for two visits AND overcharge me for parts that I looked at with my own eyes yesterday that cost less than $20 total.

Oh, I never do! But those seals usually need replacing every 5 years or so and I know that the prior tenant had NOT had it done in their 5 years here. All the metal parts are fine. Well, the flapper arm needs replacing every few years because that corrodes all by itself, but that is an easy and cheap fix that I do all the time (along with flapper replacement which is how I found out RE issue).

Sacha Dhawan was great! I just take issue with the terrible writing in seasons 11-13. Poor Jodie Whitaker never had a chance with those atrocious scripts. I was a big fan of new Who S1-10 (2005-2017) and look forward to the 2023 specials where RTD is taking over again to save the show -- Chibnall nearly got it canceled for sucking so bad.

You don't have to watch the old show in any order. Check out "Terror of the Zygons" or "Caves of Androzani" sometime, they both work as stand-alones.

Thanks for all the comments on the new features everybody. I agree with many of the issues that people have pointed out. Seeing how many people favorited a song was not supposed to go away.

As somebody who goes in and out of the comments many times per show, I find it much easier to be able to follow multiple threads of conversation this way.
