  1. $300 a month for taxes, $100? a month for insurance PLUS lawn services ...
  2. Not only that, but they don't have the pensions of teachers in blue states. The AVERAGE Florida teacher pension is $18,000!!! In New York, it's nearly triple that! No wonder there is a teacher shortage in Florida.
  3. Don't forget the Crystal Cathedral out in Orange County. In my experience, once a charismatic preacher dies and one of this children takes over, it's a family cult.
  4. I'm surprised nobody is talking about Kristen "the Happy Hoarder." I felt bad for her, but my biggest question is, "Where is she getting all that money to buy all that junk?" I'm really surprised that didn't come up.
  5. Unless these women are disguised, I don't know why some down-on-their-luck guys at church, or in their neighborhood, or on parole JUST DON'T DATE THEM. They don't even have to steal their millions, just have her pay for their dinners, their cruises, their car repairs. The women get what they need and the guys get needed income. Cheaper than sending their retirement pay to Nigeria.
  6. His interview with Andrea Joyce confirmed that! He said he was ready to skip Worlds and never thought he'd win a medal. He was definitely choked up.
  7. I thought so too, but then I remembered that the commentators said she was sitting up. The incident awhile ago that was so scary was that Russian pair that fell out of a lift. Nobody mugged then! Why wouldn't you want Vincent or Ilia to medal?
  8. Gary is talented and smart, but dear God, get him a stylist! I would be immediately turned off by his serial killer vibe, horrible yellow teeth and 1980 glasses that look like they are taped at the bridge. Yuck. New glasses and dental work would do wonders.
  9. He also needs to change his serial killer look. Dear God, update those horrid glasses. The thick nose bridge looks like masking tape. And his TEETH. I know dentistry is expensive, but he could at least use whitening strip. I bet he has dandruff too. Maybe he just triggers me. He is every nerd guy I dated in the 1980s.
  10. Maybe they'll fall in love WITH EACH OTHER. That would be the most shocking Final Rose ever.
  11. Girl, wash your face. Those painted eyebrows do not do you any favors either.
  12. But it does make for a great drinking game.
  13. I blame COVID and its protocols. No one made the "rote and lifeless" comment when Beijing hosted the 2008 summer games.
  14. OK, let me vent. NBC, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? I vacationed over Valentine's weekend and set my DVR to record the ice dancing competition. For some reason, the DVR didn't record them. No problem, I thought. I HAVE NBC BEIJING ON DEMAND and they have an entire category for Figure Skating. I checked the end date: 3/30 so I had plenty of time to see them. This morning, I got my coffee and watched Part 1 of the Rhythm Dance AND THEY HAVE DELETED PART 2 AND ALL OF THE FREE DANCE!!!! Yet, NBC still has 142 listings of CURLING EVENTS!! If anyone has cable with the On Demand, I would SO appreciate checking your Figure Skating listings to see if it is truly NBC or that awful Spectrum Cable that deleted it. Heads will roll!!!
  15. Maybe they were there because Italy is hosting the next Winter Olympics? Sorry, but pure unadulterated joy is wonderful to behold! We should all have more joy of 4-year-olds in our lives!
  16. I actually think the explosion actually started after Lillehammer in 1994, which was the best skating competition EVER. You had Nancy vs. Tonya, Gordeeva and Grinkov, Torvill and Dean, Katarina Witt, Brian Boitano, KURT BROWNING, Elvis .... AND Scott Hamilton was still skating professionally! It seemed like every week there was another pro competition. It's inevitable that sports' popularity rises and falls on its stars. Right now, the young girls I know are very interested in Cheer squads. Trust me when I say that Cheering can be as expensive as the other "glamour" sports. Gymnastics went through that cycle too. After Olga and Nadia, there was a blip and then after MaryLou, another blip. Then it was down again until the Karolyis took over.
  17. Uh, he broke the world record. And he skated the program of a lifetime. I think you should celebrate the little moments. I remember when Katya Gordeeva said that after she and Sergei won their first gold medal, he wanted to go out drinking with his buddies and she wanted to go to bed. So that's what they did. How sad.
  18. I guess she tested positive in DECEMBER, so that may be where the delay is.
  19. Sorta like the US AND LANCE FRICKIN' ARMSTRONG. I don't think Johnny will express anything but regret that we will not see Kamila in the long program. The news reporters will cover this.
  20. I watched the entire men's short program in its entirety on Peacock and it is incredibly long and boring (3 hours+!) Trust me, after you watch the second place skater from Slovenia and Micronesia with their lifeless performances, you appreciate the Top 10! NBC has gotten criticism for delaying coverage, so their answer is, "Fine, we'll show you Brian Boitano who unfortunately drew the first place and skates at 8 pm but skip the unknown skaters until we get to the leaders at 10!" They actually do less skipping around than at the last two Olympics.
  21. Just today, NBC said they want Leslie to do her commentary.
  22. Actually, the complaint in the past was that the RUSSIANS only did jump run-throughs and not entire programs so they got more tired than those who did the entire events. Probably Eteri put a stop to that. No, it doesn't wonder why viewership is down. Some longtime viewers are boycotting over Chinese politics, others don't like the time difference and having to stay up until midnight to see the finals. The Olympics also aren't the big deal they used to be when the plucky, poor Americans were the underdogs to the rich, professional Russians. The coverage is better than it has been. I don't mind Johnny and Tara one bit and neither do the CASUAL VIEWERS. They at least shut up during the ice dancing performances and they don't prattle on about the costumes like Peggy Fleming did. What I personally dislike is the American-centric coverage as if only FIVE AMERICANS are competing. I used to love the old days of ABC and CBS when we got interviews with Swiss archers and barefoot Kenyans.
  23. They stopped at 10:45 to go to NBC but still, between the two you could see all the competitors.
  24. Thank you for posting this! At 10:45, it moves to NBC.
  25. It was WAY too big! It obscured a quarter of the screen!
