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.
August 28, 1963
Lincoln Memorial, Washington, D.C., United States of America

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…. 🙂

I just checked with CS again & the order status search function is being worked on, but no ETA. They must not have an IT QA department that runs general functionality test when they implement software upgrades. This is such a basic function in their system. Needed to vent, thx for listening.

  HSN is having a difficult time with their shipments. Doesn’t matter whom you use. Most of the problems stems from the virus. Everyone is short handed. Again some restaurants have closed and I assume some hotels/motels as well. Seems this new variant doesn’t care if you have been vaccinated or received t he booster. We will have to be extra careful. Even cruise lines are beginning to cancel.

  Do you know today’s code?
- OODIEBOM
  
  01.15.22 2:48 AM
  
  Shiloh, there is no code needed. Just go into the Rewards Store through the Arcade. Put your answer in the area marked answer. Does this help????
- Sheba2011
  
  01.15.22 2:13 AM
  
  Nixon is the next answer.
- xango

3rd question is, which of the following Americans president was born in January, Lincoln, Nixon, or JFK?

Hi rockee and fem. Hope you two are OK weather wise.

  Hi Oodiebom. 70s & sunny every day here in AZ.
- OODIEBOM
  
  01.15.22 1:50 AM
  
  fem, I thought Arizona did get cold in the winter. Well, on the bright side, you are warmer than Florida at the moment.
- fem
  
  01.15.22 2:01 AM
  
  It can get cold but doesn’t last long. This is prime season in AZ. All the snowbirds from the Midwest & Canada flock here in winter. It’s the best time to be here.
- OODIEBOM
  
  01.15.22 2:08 AM
  
  LOL and I thought they came to Florida.
- fem
  
  01.15.22 2:14 AM
  
  They do. Think more eastern people like you go to FL & Midwestern & western Canadians come here. Although we have New York state friends who winter here.

  Hiya OODIE, Tonight is fine, just very cold ant windy in my part of PA. We have a storm coming Sunday night, so we’ll see! Hope you’re having a cozy evening!
- OODIEBOM
  
  01.15.22 1:49 AM
  
  Thanks rockee. Temperature on the Gulf coast of Florida was 68. Temps may go down to the low 60s. Next week will be in the 60s and 50s which is cold for Florida. We expect a rain event on Sunday and wind. The game should be OK to play in the afternoon. The wind on the other hand may be a bit much. Will have to wait and see. Just bundle up and try to keep warm. Hope you have someone that can shovel for you.

  The playoff game, The Buccaneers v The Eagles? I’ll be watching, Go Birds!! 😀 This isn’t our year though, I don’t think, I just hope for an exciting game.

  Funny, I’m a New Englander. Loved the Sox. Patriots, hmmmm…..Bucs, guess I have to vote for them. Not a fan of Brady. Sorry xango on this one. I will probably watch the last few minutes. Then again, depending upon the wind, may not have cable.

xango, I am wondering if rosatowwen is OK? And also Velveteen Rabbit. It’s not like these two to stay away too long.
- xango
  
  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. ✨
- OODIEBOM
  
  01.15.22 2:30 AM
  
  @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.

  I am not getting the second question??? Just the Baseball one?
- OODIEBOM
  
  01.15.22 1:52 AM
  
  Good evening Shiloh. You still have time to answer the second question. The answer is carnation. Just type in the answer. It will take.

  The questions are now on tv. They flash them. See this thread for questions & answers or watch HSN.

@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 1:29 AM
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

@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.
- OODIEBOM
- 01.15.22 1:22 AM
The next question comes up at 8:30 pm. My computer clock says it’s 8:22 pm.
- SanibelSheller
- 01.15.22 1:21 AM
Ok, they repeated the question. Thanks for the question, Xango. Thanks Oodiebom for the answer.
