While I was typing this, What a Fool Believes came on and it made me change my opinion on Michael McDonald. I'd go crazy if I had to listen to it more than once a decade.

I want to correct something that I said earlier. I've never seen Ghosts. I was thinking of School Spirits.

I was at an estate sale today when the woman in front of me in line said she didn't know why anyone shopped retail anymore, except for food and prescriptions. While I don''t buy that much at estate sales, I can't say I disagree. Wink

Just having a pity party for myself due to some life things. Anyway, I know this is super lazy and feel free to ignore if that annoys you but does anyone know of any regular, plain jane (i.e., non whitening) Colgate Total deals. I had resigned myself to just buying toothpaste at Costco but it turns out they only have the whitening. After using that for about 6 months I have developed sensitivity that goes away if I stop using the whitening version. I got a 5 pack or the non whitening Crest at Costco but that doesnt leave me feeling as clean as Colgate Total does (nothing did prior either been loyal to that for at least 20 years). I dont get a paper, can print coupons and have no store monies, outside of gift cards. If anyone sees a deal and thinks of me and would like to share, please lmk. I have CVS and Wags here.

Both versions of Ghosts are good but I prefer the American version. I loved the first seasons of iZombie so I would give almost anything with Rose McIver in it a chance.

I'm very happy with the Colgate Optic White Advanced Sensitive toothpaste. I tried with when it was on sale a few weeks ago. It's milder than the regular Colgate Sensitive toothpaste but since it's Optic White, it probably has the whitening that you don't want. I was looking at Sensodyne the other day and I was surprised that they all have whitening. When I'm in dental pain and need something mild, the last thing I care about is how white it gets my teeth.

Life is getting me down, too. I was in the hospital last week and they put me on some new meds rather than doing another heart surgery. Unfortunately, the drugs are making me pass out. I had a bad time on Sunday night, felt a little better on Monday and Tuesday, and then I felt bad again and I've been in bed for the last 3 days.

Sorry you are going through it right now. I think we've all been there at some point. I hope things get better soon.

As far as Colgate, if you are shopping today, Wags has a buy 2 get $5 RR and there is a $6/2 DQ that expires today. I see 2 varieties (Total Active Protection) that are not the whitening kind. Ad shows a new DQ for tomorrow, as well as the same type of deal. If you wanted to just grab a few and not really get stuck in the Wags cycle, I'd buy 2 today for $12 - $6 DQ, use gift card to pay balance and then get $5 RR back. Then tomorrow or whenever, I'd buy 2 more Colgate (check the varieties attaching cuz it may be some different ones), use the new $6/2 DQ and also use the $5 RR you earned to pay, which should prevent you from earning another and keep you from getting stuck in the loop. 4 tubes for around $7 oop.

Thank you. I dont need any whitening. I only got it because Costco swapped what they carry and I didnt notice the change until I already had it at home. At that point I decided to just try it.

Hope things go better soon for you.

I'd be happier at under $30 but I might get that deal because I bet their joining with Apple TV will only mean more expensive subscriptions going forward. Where did you see this deal?

Thank you. I missed yesterday's but will check out this week's cycle. RRs still a rolling 2 week expiration and require an item purchase to use (I mean if I buy something with a coupon would I still need a second item to also use the RR)?

Crazy situation with the Murdaugh murder conviction. Alex gets a new trial because the Clerk of Court tampered with the jury and she only got probation for it. There's a short Netflix doc about it but it's not very good. It's more like a travel commercial for the city with the mayor in his polo shirt. I watched The Crash on Netflix which is about a teen girl who drives her car into a building going 100 mph and kills her boyfriend and his best friend. It's a good doc (although very depressing) but I feel like I'm missing some of the story.

I got the offer in an email. I just checked and it's a unique code. I might do it if there's a possibility that they'll add Apple.

I'm not doing so hot. The medical problems never end. It looks like it's the hospital again on Monday. I've lost count of how many times I've been to the hospital this year. I should get air miles or something...

I keep on watching shows I don't like because there's nothing else on. First it was FBI and now it's Law and Order. I finished Season 22 because of Jeffrey Donovan (Michael Weston in Burn Notice) but it wasn't very good and way too political for my taste. I've noticed that the characters in the Dick Wolf shows all say the same lines like "I may have something for you" and "Copy that." Dick Wolf must've worked at Kinko's when he was a kid...

The story of The Crash has been told on many of the shows that cover true crime. I think this is the first one she and her parents agreed to (in other words, they likely got paid a tidy sum to tell their side of it). I think, if I remember correctly, some of the friends interviewed in the documentary who are exceptionally 'complimentary' to the girl were not interviewed (or maybe not in as much detail) in some of the other shows I've seen on the story.

There are missing points to the story in the Netflix documentary, you're right. You can do a google search for 'the crash netflix missing details' to get the bullet points or add 'reddit' to the end of your search to get the comments reddit users have shared about key items missing from the documentary.

P.S. I hope you get some good help at the hospital tomorrow.

After watching Mackenzie drive down the road taking bong hits, I get your point about marijuana. Maybe it should be illegal if that's what kids are going to do. It's just really unfair to the people who would never do that.

2 weeks rolling on most RR with P&G ones being the exception. You should be able to use the RR on 1 item without having to add a filler item, even if that item has a coupon.

I'm killing some time before my trip to the hospital and I came across The Official CVS Pharmacy Playlist on YT. It has 186 videos for your enjoyment lol. I might go thru the list to pick out the songs that I especially despise. It might be longer than the original list because I'll have to list some songs twice (because they're so annoying).

What would be on your list of the most annoying songs you hear at retail stores? It's not a song but the Shingles commercial has to be the worst thing ever and, yes, I found out the hard way...lol
