Tuesday, November 1, 2016 - My Thoughts on the Walking Dead
What in the world is happening to Carol? Did I miss it? Why was there a tiger there staring at her like "Carol looks like a tasty morsel." I totally missed the whole backstory on this episode. What did you think about this episode? I may have to watch this episode again.

NOTE 1: Surgery Update: My surgery went well. I no longer have tingling in my fingertips. I have 12 staples on my surgery area. I'm thinking that I have a plethora of sutures and stitches too. I didn't ask my doctor for a suture and stitches number counts. It looks like everything went well for me.
NOTE 2: Nope, I have no intentions of posting pictures of my staples. Sorry.
NOTE 3: As many of you are aware, I am obsessed with AMC's The Walking Dead show. I totally missed the Walking Dead episode on Sunday, October 30. I didn't think my pain killers would kick in that fast, but they did and I fell fast asleep. I missed the WHOLE episode. So, no spoilers until I watch this episode. I will watch this episode tomorrow while you are doing your job -- learning, learning, and learning! I shall post my thoughts tomorrow on the latest episode AFTER SCHOOL let outs.
