Legendary game show host Chuck Woolery, who was the first host of “Wheel of Fortune,” died Saturday. He was 83.

I used to love game shows, they were on all morning when I was a kid. I didn't know Chuck was the original Wheel of Fortune host. Back then the Dating Game and Newlywed Game were so much fun too.

My favourites used to be Joker's Wild, Hollywood Squares, Name that Tune and Match Game. There were so many though, lots that I can't remember the names of. Then there was the original "talent" show - The Gong Show.

I need to get this off of my chest (no, no pun intended) as I've been upset since I got the phone call from the hospital Friday afternoon- I recently had a mammogram and the results came back showing an "asymmetry" in the lower right breast. I have to go to the hospital December 3 for another mammogram which will focus on this area and also an ultrasound. Talk about coming out of nowhere. I do self exam regularly & I never felt or saw anything out of the ordinary.

Best wishes Betsy. Always better to get it checked out asap.
Even as a guy I was quite concerned when I felt a lump. Went for a mammogram a few months ago. I was shocked at how many guys can be affected. Luckily for me just a fatty lump. Will monitor from here on in.

Good luck!

Sending good thoughts Bets that it’s nothing. It’s good you keep on top of this stuff.

I went through the same process when mine was diagnosed at “Stage 0”.

Best to be safe, hopefully it is nothing. I am glad your appt is soon but I know the wait will seem like forever. Sending positive vibes that all will be well.

Good luck. It is probably nothing too bad, but checking is important.

Best to get checked @BMC all of you older people on here. And thats not an insult most of you are older than me. My parents are constantly at the doctors.

You are right. You need to get that off your chest.

You got this

Lots of good vibes coming your way. Hopefully it is nothing. The waiting game is the toughest part. I had my first mammogram 2 years ago and they found asymmetry in my left breast. I had to go back two weeks later and the wait was excruciating. I went through so many emotions waiting for my appointment. Luckily, it was just a blob of scar tissue that was breaking down.

You’ve got this! Reach out if you need to vent etc. Hugs!

Thank all of you so much

I'm still stunned & scared but having your support makes it easier. You guys & gals are the best!

I remember all those shows. Before I switched to satellite I had the Game Show Network and they ran all of them. I loved Hollywood Squares, the stars especially Paul Lynde were hilariously funny.


The Gong Show was must see tv on Saturday night after Sha Na Na.

Oh yes, Sha Na Na! I loved that too!

Oh yes, Sha Na Na! I loved that too!

You know who also loved that show? My grandmother!


Of course like many people her age her absolute favorite was "The Lawrence Welk Show" which I sat through many a Sunday evening when I was staying with her.

The whole Thanksgiving menu is unappealing

Oh hell no, turkey, sweet potatoes, roasted root veggies, pies and food comas. Thanksgiving is the best! I'd rather watch hockey than football though.

Imagine your boss spending an entire meeting with the leadership team, spending time talking about "they why" behind what we do?

Imagine at the end of said meeting, they communicate that everyone in the room needs to provide them with 2-3 professional goals in advance, to be presented to the team at the following Monday's meeting?

Imagine at said meeting, 5/6 "leaders" have failed to deliver on what was requested?

Is this in the education field?

Last time I was asked that was 2019.

I wrote “I aspire to retire”.

For real.

Did the trick. 6 months later I got a full 18 month package.

My parents absolutely loved Lawrence Welk and still watched reruns on PBS for the rest of their lives.
