In one, a lady takes the (monthly) flag-stop train to visit a friend who's due to have a baby. The lady has her own 6-month baby along. OH, NO!!! She's forgotten BABY FORMULA, and the monthly flag stop train is due in an HOUR!! That's the only way she can get her baby formula, take the monthly train to Talkeetna! Will she make the train???? Oh, be still my heart!!!!!
Another episode: A 76 year old woman is living off grid with her 84 year old husband. The lady had a stroke last year. OH, NO!!!! She's running out of blood pressure meds!!! The monthly flag stop train is due in an hour!!! Will she make the train to get to Talkeetna to get her meds???? Oh, be still my heart!!!!
AND THAT, is why I try to avoid Television, and the unmitigated, mind corrupting, Corporate greed driven, CRAP, that Television was, is, and will always be !

It's also the reason why I do love my hobbies!
There are a few exceptions, like, H2 occasionally has something interesting on.
The key word here is "occasionally"
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
