Just got done watching a new show, Living with Yourself on netflix. I wasnt hooked right away, but continued to watch the 1st season and now rather like it. I do like a lot of the documentaries on netflix, but am struggling to find good shows or movies. I looked at the movies this month and I think it is a sad situation!!! Anyone else? I also really liked the shown, Blown Away, about a glass sculpting competition. Anyway, searching for other things on Netflix that might be interesting. Any Suggestions??

@januaryjane You asked about Netflix, I’m enjoying”Peak Practice.” It’s about a group of doctors in a small English village. Mostly about all the people. Try it!

I was watching American Horror Stories, a series on Netflix. I don't normally watch that stuff and I kept asking myself why I was watching this awful blood and gore. I think that I was trying to offset all the awfulness of this virus with something even more awful. Yeah, I'm thinking that was it for me at least.

@georgette12 That is possible . The blood and gore never bothered me it is sort of smoothing in a odd way.

Coloring forces you to focus - making sure the colors are right- tried - places like the New York Library has free coloring to print out- words is friend- great online games to set up with friends unseen, in house board games, car models, Jenga is fun for all ages, pick up sticks - Reading ( great free e books site- project Gutenberg)

Hoopla is also a great free reading site. It is a free app that connects you with your local library. You register with your library card. You can then "Borrow" free e-books, videos, and audiobooks. I'm not familiar with the Gutenberg site.

@helenfrances After you check out the Hoopla app, let me know what you think, Ellen.

We could start a CW club: Classy Women’s Club🏆
That was a poor attempt to find meaning for CW!

I am now addicted to Classic Words on my iPhone🤓

Hi Ellen and others who play Classic Words.

I downloaded it on my Kindle (it has internet connectivity) but I can't figure out how to use it. There were no directions. So after downloading it, I now have what looks like a Scrabble board with letters at the bottom. When I tap on the letters or on the board nothing happens.

Any ideas?
