Battlestar Galactica 410

When Admiral Adama was boarding the Raptor and Apollo and Starbuck were saluting and they had that little call back moment about "nothing but the rain." Made me a little misty-eyed. 1 hankie.

Northern Exposure #42

Got a little misty during the scene when Chris was cooking a meal for himself and his deceased friend Tooley. The wistfulness and sadness of eulogizing and reminiscing about lost friends made me choke up a bit.

Northern Exposure #40

At the end of the episode, the character Chris said, "who would have thought such a slight tilt in our Earthly axis could make such a big difference in our lives..." Something in the phrase made me contemplate how small things can have big consequences and how my own life has sometimes turned on the smallest of decisions. Got me misty-eyed. 1 hankie.

The Hankie Scale

As I see it, the scale is as follows:

• 1 hankie - a little weepy. Eyes tear up.


• 2 hankies - a little weepier. A tear or two might actually spill over the eyelids but can be ignored or wiped away with fingertips.


• 3 hankies - More than a few tears. Need an actual hankie or tissue to cope with them.


• 4 hankies - Actual crying and probably runny nose. Lasts a couple minutes, at least, and requires more than one tissue or hankie.


• 5 hankies - wracking sobs.

Barack Obama

Teared up with hope and pride watching a Moveon.org Barack Obama ad. 1 hankie.

Northern Exposure #38 (5)

Cicely dies. 3 hankies

Northern Exposure #38 (4)

Cicely collapses at the town meeting. 1 hankie

Northern Exposure #38 (3)

Cicely falls ill with what’s obviously consumption. 1 hankie

Northern Exposure #38 (2)

Teared up as I laughed at Rosalyn punching out the bully and asserting her dominance over the rest of the ruffians in the bar. 2 hankies

Northern Exposure #38 (1)

Teared up when Rosalyn and Cicely first appeared in the “Cicely” Episode of Northern Exposure (the idea of love despite obstacles always chokes me up) and teared up some more immediately after when Rosalyn extended a hand to the boy in the gutter and gave a little speech on human potential and how evolution was about humanity rising up from the mud, not being stuck in it. I have a feeling this Episode will have a lot of hankies in it. 1 hankie

Northern Exposure #37

Got a little weepy during Chris’ monologue presiding over Adam and Eve’s Wedding in the “Our Wedding” episode of Northern Exposure. 1 hankie

Flushed Away

Got a little weepy (while laughing!) at the scene in “Flushed Away” where the Jammy Dodger boat sank and the girl rat said “Goodbye, me old mate.” (And the ship’s crane-arm waved farewell). 1 hankie

Northern Exposure #35

Watching “The Final Frontier” Episode of “Northern Exposure.” Cried at the end of the episode during the little wrap-up of the episode where the town re-mailed the package, Chris reads “Paddle to-the-sea” and then Holling finishes burying Jesse the bear, with Enya “Carribean Blue” was playing over it all. 2 hankies
