If you were a fan of KNOTS LANDING or FALCON CREST, we have great news. Free streaming app PLEX features every episode of each series.Debuting in 1979, Knots Landing ran for 14 seasons Thursday nights on CBS. It was billed as a sequel to the steamy, soapy, sensation DALLAS (although in actuality Knots was created first but wasn’t originally picked up by any of the networks, so the producers came up with Dallas and after its success Knots launched.)

Falcon Crest debuted in 1981 on CBS and ran for 9 seasons. It aired on Friday nights right after Dallas - although it was in no way affiliated with the Ewings. Following the success of cliffhanger episodes on Dallas, Falcon Crest often featured extreme cliffhangers of its own, both on a weekly basis and well as over-the-top seasonal spectaculars (so sensational they were often unintentional laughable.)

I was a devoted fan of Dallas, Knots Landing and Falcon Crest (and a somewhat wavering follower of Dynasty.) I am currently rewatching Knots from the very beginning and after only a few episodes in, I’m already feeling hooked again.

These crazy series are a great distraction from today’s real life soap opera (the one featuring the unbelievable storyline of a convicted villain becoming president… like THAT could ever really happen!)

You can download Plex on your smartphone as an app or on Roku and other smart TV’s.

[Oh and in case you were wondering, no…Dallas is not available for free streaming at this time.]

Let's have some fun. Think back to something you experienced that was funny or very touching...

I'll start...I remember a million years ago when I was a kid and was a Cub. Our troops spent a week at the campground.

I remember every morning we would have to get ourselves dressed in our uniforms and straighten up our tent (roll up sleeping bags, etc) then we would line up in front of our tents.

One of the leader guys would come by and inspect our tent, and make sure we were dressed properly in our uniforms.

Every day he would ask each of us is "Did you have a bowel movement?" I remember the first day he did this, one kid he asked seemed confused. Three times the leader asked "Did you have a bowel movement?" and each time the kid just looked at him blankly.

Finally the frustrated leader blurted out "Did you have a shit?" Probably not appropriate, but it got our attention and the kid who he was asking definitely then understood the question and answered "yes".... LOL!

Random silly things.... I will post more in the days to come, now it's your turn... share some funny or touching things with us.

NOW...HERE'S A FUNNY MEMORY FROM OUR PAL JENNA...

[My brother] David wanted to go skiing which was fine. I wanted to go tobogganing. OK here’s the funny part LMFAO, not my fault just saying, my dad asked me, I was maybe 14 when this happened already totally blind, but my dad asked me if I was sure I could do tobogganing on my own and I was like "Yes daddy." My dad’s like "As long as you don’t put your hands in her feet out you’ll be OK", the ridiculous part was he believe me. Lol started going down the hill no problem then I put my feet and my hands out. Instead of going straight down the hill I went across the hill [passing] 60 to 80 kids, somehow never hitting one kid, not hitting one tree or anything else.

David finally stopped me before going in to the old Welland Canal, that will not have been a good idea, The lady standing beside my dad, put her hand over to his arm and said "She’s OK sir", my dad looked at her and said "You don’t understand it. She has no sight at all. She’s totally blind" My dad got me by the hand and said "There is no way you were doing this and get on your own" lol why not?, At that point my dad told me what on earth I had done talk about almost giving him a heart attack smiley smiley memories with my dad going tobogganing .

My Girl!

EDITORIAL

Hello My Dear Friends,

Monday is a dark day for America, Canada & many places around the world. Mon. Jan. 20, 2025 a convicted felon becomes president...again! It seems pretty messed up that he can’t enter Canada, but he can rule the US and terrorize & taunt its allies. It's very strange and very scary.

With negativity, hatred and misinformation all around us, this is the time for Scribbles.co to do what it does best… provide you a happy escape from it all. If they’re going to go low (as sadly they will) I will go high. High as in more fun stuff for your entertainment.

I am amping up the happy on Scribbles, and I’m going to do it with stuff you love most. More dogs. More cats. More Joe Friday & friends. More amusing comics. More cool contests.

We've also moved our Support section to an easier to find spot in our sidebar area, should you find yourself needing a little help.

Providing you with a happy place to take your mind off the cruel world isn’t always easy, but I am up for the challenge. Now more than ever!

Enjoy todays new Scribbles offerings.

Things You Can Do To Reduce Stress & Feel Calmer

With so much bad going on in the world and so many ways of accessing it, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed. But even in trying times like this, there’s things you can do to compose yourself, gain clarity and feel hopeful. Here’s a few of them.

LIMIT EXPOSURE. Watching TV or internet news or reading news stories in your every waking hour can be very unhealthy. All that negative news flashing before your eyes, over and over, it can make you anxious and/or depressed. Try watching or reading less news. Fill that time with something you enjoy.

I no longer watch TV newscasts. I get info from CBC News app or other reputable sources, where I control when I will check it out and for how long. We are happier not seeing all those bad news stories.

Something else to ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND... For every story about someone evil doing hurtful things to others, there’s countless people doing nice things for others The person who pays for the next person at the drive-thru coffee shop, rescues a kitty, volunteers their time to help others. Those people are all around us. We don’t hear about them on the news because for the most part these people are not doing kind things to get acknowledged, they don’t do it for “likes” or “views”, they do it simply because it feels good to do nice things for others.

If you go on social media sites, you know the comments section can be brutal. You could chose just to read the posts and IGNORE THE COMMENTS SECTION (which is the best option). But if you do read the comments section be prepared to read stuff that is very offensive or cruel.

I have started BLOCKING people who leave nasty comments. I don't have to know them personally, if they are rude, they get blocked. Case closed. I won't see their rude comments anymore. It is so much better than stooping to their level trying to explain to them how wrong they are, when their comments already showed you they clearly don't know right from wrong.

You can also chose to limit certain people's posts. For example: If there's a friend who choses to post nothing but controversial items and you'd rather not see them. you can chose to "mute" that friend for a while or chose not to see their posts in your feed.

BE MORE ACTIVE We can handle stress better when we are moving around more. Go for walks, do some light exercises or yoga, dance (yes DANCE, put on your favourite music and let loose).

This could be a great time to TAKE UP A NEW HOBBY or get reacquainted with old hobbies you might have been putting off.

BE CREATIVE. Your creativity can manifest itself in many ways. You might like to create art pieces or paintings, you could be into needlepoint, building models or Legos, you might like to write stories, songs or poems, you might love cooking and baking tasty masterpieces.

All of these are creative outlets that take your mind to a more peaceful mindset. Never be afraid to try new things, your art is just that… YOURS and there’s no need to compare it to others or tell yourself you can’t do it.

Our last suggestion for dealing with the world’s bad news you are already aware of, because you are doing it right now. VISIT SCRIBBLES. You don’t have to wait until I post notice via Facebook or Scribbles email group that there is a new Scribbles post to check out. Bookmark Scribbles.co and visit it anytime, anywhere.

If you go to our right sidebar section you will find SCRIBBLES ARCHIVES. There you can go back from most recent posts to those we posted as far back as 2009. That’s just over 15 years of past Scribbles fun to revisit.

Our sidebar also includes a link to SCRIBBLES YOU TUBE CHANNEL where you can enjoy every Scribbles Video ever created.
