Long Lost Family. I can only watch it with the SO isn't around. He's adopted and I know he has zero interest in finding his birth family.
This stuck a chord with me, cos my Dad was the same. Couldn't blame him.  He had scars all over his body when he came to Nan, as a toddler,  on account of physical abuse (by stepmother, as it transpired) , He knew he's had an older brother and older sister, but felt bitter towards them because they hadn't bothered to trace him, as he supposed.

His siblings actually had tried and tried, but it wasn't so easy back in those days, especially not in the event that his new parents had changed his forename as well as his surname.  My sister took it on herself to track them  down, just a few years before Dad died. And he died a happier and much less bitter man after hearing his older sister's story (the brother was dead by then, sadly)

You just never know.
Very true, you really don't ever know until you find it out for yourself. SO was lucky in that he was adopted by a wonderful family. But he was given up at birth and in his mind he wasn't wanted and that has prevented him from seeking out his birth Mum. He knows he has an older brother. I told him I would look if he ever felt ready but he has a bio daughter (whom I adore) and that seems to be enough for him. He needed one person he felt blood connected to in the world to feel okay.

The Expanse is on.

Season 4?! Now?!?!?!
Yep. Though I don't know what format Kayleigh's watching it on. She's binge-watching it.


:woohoo:

Guess what I'm going to be binge-watching soon.

Some Anime on Netflix... mostly Yu-gi-oh, Sakai (spelling?), and there is this new one that looks good... yet it's weird because it has to do with a Maid Cafe in Japan

This is a message board, not a ouija board  :zombiefuck:

Have you watched Aggretsuko? That was good.

^If you love guitar masters, have you ever listened to Tommy Emmanuel? For example:




I've been to three of his live concerts and he's absolutely amazing. I've even met the guy once and it turns out he's a nice, humble person, very friendly and accessible.

I've been watching The Pacific, HBO's brilliant WW2 drama.
