IT'S FRIDAY. TIME FOR TRIVIA. JANUARY 14, 2022

This is the beginning of the Martin Luther King weekend. In honor of MLK, i have taken a few excerpts from his speech, “I have A Dream.”

“Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today my friends — so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.”

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed:” “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”
“Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.”

“But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.”

“Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.”

“Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi — from every mountainside.”

“Let freedom ring. And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring — when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children — black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics — will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:” “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

Martin Luther King, Jr.

I am not sure if we will see the questions in the Rewards Store. Hopefully, some of our players will be watching HSN on their TV and will share the questions with us. Thanking you in advance. And for those of you who have not played the Trivia Game on Friday Nights, the following are directions:

For the newcomers, the questions can be found in the Rewards Store within the Arcade. Questions begin between 8 pm and 8:05 pm EST. 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…. 🙂

Good Evening Sheba. Sorry that the weather has turned. Looks like inclement weather in your parts for the next couple of days. Are you experiencing freezing rain? May want to keep flashlights handy and some extra blankets.

Good Evening everyone, a special shout out to OODIEBOM, Sheba, fbn135, Rosatowwen, Sanibelsheller.
I hope all stay safe on the weekend of such horrible weather going through so many States.

  Hi xango. I wish the same. Millions will be affected by the weekend’s weather. And don’t forget, we will have wind and rain Sunday morning. 80% chance. Have a feeling we should keep an ear to the weather people.

  I am not getting any of these questions? How do I get them?
- SanibelSheller
- 01.15.22 1:15 AM
Hi all. They keep putting the item box & 5 flexpay on bottom of the screen. I haven’t seen the question yet.
- SanibelSheller
- 01.15.22 1:21 AM
Ok, they repeated the question. Thanks for the question, Xango. Thanks Oodiebom for the answer.

@sanibelsheller, Hello there. Yes I am well. I hope you are too. Just trying to get back to my routine. I hurt my back the other day, though I am not sure how. I didn’t lift anything, and the cold weather has not come down enough yet. I tend to have a lower back issue in the winter or when I lift something heavy. It’s getting better with each day.
- SanibelSheller
  
  01.15.22 1:32 AM
  
  I’m glad your back is doing better.
- xango
  
  01.15.22 1:45 AM
  
  Thank you.

xango, it could be the weather change that is coming Sunday. I’ve been feeling it for a few days now. Last night was something else.
- xango
- 01.15.22 1:30 AM
@oodiebom, We sure can use that rain, this past Summer and now Winter has not rained much. But the cold, it can stay up North as far as I am concern. I don’t like covering my plants and uncovering, it is a hassle. I hope all is well with you.
- OODIEBOM
  
  01.15.22 1:33 AM
  
  xango, I am OK. Any additional question.
- OODIEBOM
- 01.15.22 1:31 AM
xango, I am wondering if rosatowwen is OK? And also Velveteen Rabbit. It’s not like these two to stay away too long.

  I am not getting the second question??? Just the Baseball one?

  Good evening Shiloh. You still have time to answer the second question. The answer is carnation. Just type in the answer. It will take.

  01.15.22 1:41 AM
  
  OODIEBOM, I wondered about Rosatowwen too, she would always sign on here a participate.
  I hope she is alright.
- OODIEBOM
  
  01.15.22 2:05 AM
  
  I agree with you on RosaTowwen. I may do a separate shout out to see if anyone knows her. And that also will include Velveteen Rabbit, Luvsweets, Frank, Samslilangel, etc..
- Sheba2011
  
  01.15.22 2:09 AM
  
  @oodiebom,
  
  I see Samslilangel Avatar several times a day I don’t understand why she does not post.
  
  I know she misses her husband and I hope all the grandchildren are doing alright. ✨

  @sheba2011
  
  I see her avatar as well. I know she helps with the grandkids during the evening hours, bathing and getting them ready for bed. She sort of drifted away when the game wasn’t playing correctly. I may try a shout out to see if there are any replies. The other thing I can do is check with the Mods. I’m positive they know the names of everyone who signs in. But, I would hate to go to that extreme especially when they are busy enough. But it was a thought.
