These are just a few of the events that occurred on December 2nd. I found the last one to be quite interesting. I have pictures of my grandfather in his Model A Ford, though some in the family have said it was a Model T.

Questions can be found in the Rewards Store within the Arcade, And begin between 8 pm and 8:05 pm DST depending upon your computer clock. There are six questions during the game. The last question is posted between 10:30 pm and 10:35 pm EST. Again, depending upon your computer clock. Each question lasts approximately 30 minutes, so you will need to come up with the correct response within that time frame. If you answer incorrectly, you will see a red “OOPS.” The incorrect response will not count against you unless the time is up. Each correct answer is worth 200 tickets to use in the Rewards Store against the Featured or Current Sweepstakes. So, before you tear your hair out, before you give up, just return to this thread where one or more of us will be able to help. Also, join us in light conversation, ideas or whatever and LET THE FUN BEGIN….😀😀😀🍕🍔🍟🌭🌭🍿

NOTE; Sometimes a little gremlin will pose a question that requires a number. In those instances it may not accept for example 16. It’s the correct response, but you may need to spell it out: sixteen. Other times there may be a two word answer such as: Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday may need to be written as one word: Happybirthday. There are also times when the answer is a plural even though the question seems to reflect something that isn’t. However, sometimes it is easier to check this thread for the correct response.

How goes the roof replacement?
- OODIEBOM
  
  12.03.22 1:15 AM
  
  It’s coming along. We signed the contract this past Monday and we were given a time frame of 3 wks. That depends, of course, on weather. I will be happy when all this is behind us.

  maxienne, I do not know what I would do without our air fryer. Great for veggies.

  Works great with subs. I’ve sung its praises so loud and long, that at least 4 of my friends who swore they didn’t need another appliance, bought one. And thanked me later!

  maxienne, I use mine quite often. Hubby thinks I’m a gourmet cook. I just laugh to myself knowing that all the work was done by that Air Fryer. I am using my oven less and less.

Tip to all: Cold pizza heats up really well in the air fryer. Fast and the crust crisps up without drying out. Far better than in a reg. oven

  maxienne, it is absolutely delicious. Better than either a toaster oven or microwave.

  Hi Oodie, tonight is going to be a cooler night. It’s nice to have no humidity, and low temperatures. A relief from the 90’s and 80’s.

I think I would be beside myself if they ever offered a decent prize in the Arcade site. Like a cruise, or a resort vacation, or a box of donuts.

  In the last 2 years, believe it or not, I’ve won 2 prizes. Both made by Prepon. One was little silicone covers and the strange thing is, my name was NOT on the winners list for it. I actually both called AND wrote them, giving them the email of the winner, and told them that if they sent me a mailer, I’d send it right back. But they didn’t bother to reply. Often, there are complaints that winners didn’t get their prizes, and this is why.
  The 2nd prize was a really nice Prepon carbon steel skillet. Requires too much work to keep it from rusting. But I shouldn’t complain.

  I won a prize of $250 for winning the jigsaw puzzle. At that time they took all the winners and mixed up the names. Now they take the top 100 or so, claiming that there are too many winners.

  Welcome to Trivia 8Teddy. If I remember correctly, under the other owners, they did just that. HSN did offer a cruise and quite a few decent prizes. Actually, there were several cruises along with winning a day with HSN and an opportunity to be part of a small audience. Glad you mentioned that, since quite a lot has changed under this regime.

  Thank you Sheba for the gif for FBN. I am hoping and praying that he is on the mend. Two weeks is two weeks too long to be ailing especially during the Holiday Seasons.

  No matter the weather, no matter the day, tis the season when everyone seems to smile and give a stranger a cherry hello. I always wish that the sentiments could continue throughout the year. It would make a smile beam and people laugh more. I think that one good deed would make everyone have that special feeling, that special tingling. May the joys of the season continue throughout this year and the years that follow.

  Sheba, this gif reminds me so much of Boston where the MTA not only is a subway, but becomes a trolley on many of the roads and byways as well as a train. The scene is reminiscent of Back Bay in Boston where the college students would get together and sing carols up and around the area prior to final exams and the long Christmas holiday. It was always something to look forward to year after year and at the end getting together at the President’s home for homemade sandwiches, hot chocolate and homemade pies. This was the time that we all longed to be home with friends and family.

  @oodiebom,
  
  I was thinking of you when I posted it and I post these pics every year. I thought you may
  be a little homesick for the North. 😘😎✨ I love it reminds me of Illinois too.
