Nooo, I'm sorry for sending you off into the woods on such a lousy path! I suck. Hopefully the link I sent you will help. -- I tried the streaming video thing to test it out and HOLY COW they land you with tricksy ads like crazy. All manner of things you have to click out of and "skip ads" and X-out of an ad that poses as a play button on the video itself. Actually, please don't click that link. Geeze. Can I take back something I already sent? Ignore me. Block me from everything. Never listen to me again. I give horrible advice. I hope you find it on YouTube because I suck in enormous proportions.

I'm really glad I checked that site first though because holy cow those "watch online" links lead you nowhere pretty

So far all I've found on YouTube is bits of stuff. Nothing that even resembles episodes. But I have things to do today before work, so I better get my arse in gear.

To be completely honest your best bet is probably just biting the bullet and buying the episodes on Amazon Instant Video for $.99 each, watching the last five for free of course, and thereby being caught up for when January comes. You'll be out a handful of dollars but it's legal, clean, easy, and you'll get good quality out of it without any hassle.

Hmm... may have to check if rentable on iTunes, too. A friend (long ago ex-boyfriend actually) gave me a link called Dailymotion dot com. Looked at it briefly, but didn't search too far into it. I'm at work right now and didn't bring my laptop, so I don't want to screw up the work computer any worse than it already is.

Well, it's 4:12 pm. I've been here just over an hour and have all my paperwork done. Now what do I do?!?!?!?!?!

I'm front desk manager at a motel. It's seriously slowing down now, so I can do my paperwork relatively quickly. I do tax exempt reports, track different types of room usage, some accounts receivable, and so on. I have a love/hate relationship with my job, of course.

My mom said "Oh, you're going to hate them. You're not going to get used to them at all. You're going to have problems with going down stairs." Blah blah blah. Just because she hated hers...

I was used to them in fairly quick time. And as for going down stairs, I actually bend my neck to look down, not just move my eyes. However, the hard thing to get used to was moving my head to see the speedometer in my car instead of just glancing down.

Ha, crochet! I can do, like ... a single stitch. (Not ... one stitch singular, but a single stitch.) I'd have put more effort into learning more, but the stuff kills my hands. I have to soak my hands in hot water every few minutes and take ibuprofen like crazy. (My hands are screwed up, big-time.) Every now and then I forget how much it hurts and decide to make somebody a hat or scarf or what have you, and since I've committed myself to it I kind of just plow on through, but one Christmas was bad enough that I couldn't hold a pencil to write anymore. Crochet is one those things that I enjoy but can't really do.

It depends on how desperate you are to get them, I suppose. There are streaming sites lurking, but it takes a millennia to load and the quality is shoddy--not to mention the ever-lurking virus ads that seem to congregate on those pages, waiting for you to click them accidentally.

I personally use a site called warez-bb.org -- it's a forum where you can snatch up downloads for just about anything (ebooks, audio books, games, movies, tv shows, apps, music ...) without worrying about what you might be downloading with it. The moderators are really excellent about keeping an eye out for bad links and the community will let you know if there's anything wrong with the file. You might need to register to see the post but this is one with the episodes up: [LINK ] I'd download the ones under the heading "MP4/x264" myself, because the file size is smaller and mp4 is the most likely to be playable on your computer.

I've tried to cut back on downloading for obvious reasons, but I'd stay away from torrents -- torrents are an absolute no-no if you're worried about viruses -- but keeping on the straight-and-narrow gets complicated if your past the five-week curve. I have mine on the DVR or else I'd share, apologies.

Oh, I give up. I've ended up signing up for a couple of those file places that come up when I try the links in the lists. I'm too tired to even think right now. I guess I may have to resort to scrounging thru YouTube in the vain hope that someone has uploaded the episodes... or wait for reruns and tape them.

Believe it or not, we don't have DVR!

I think I'll go pound my head against a wall now....
