lookeyloo

It would be a "trip" for me - I'm in Baton Rouge. But, it's possible.

Jellybeans, I'm in Louisiana. Where did you get those sundaes?

I've been recording Meredith's show on the DVR - aside from some celebrities I'm not interested in, the fashion segments, the games, etc. she does a good interview, so I FF through what I don't want to watch and enjoy the rest. She is a natural in many different situations. Which is probably why she was such a great moderator on The View.

She was "Rosie". We've heard many of the clips but she is a natural. Talked about her kids, her marriage, how she met Michelle, Barbra, and finally her heart attack. After the credits there was some candid stuff at the mall where she interacts with the shoppers. Much fun. Will miss seeing her on a regular basis. I don't agree with everything she says but I find her sincere in her beliefs and very entertaining

I did watch Rosie's HBO Special and did enjoy it very much.

Good for you CousinAmy in your grant writing pursuits. I used to work for an agency that gave out grants. We couldn't give to everyone and some were written better than others, some were better projects than others, and sometimes there just wasn't enough money to go around in that funding cycle, even with well written and very deserved projects. Always a sadness. But I still wish your group would have gotten a Rosie O grant.

That is a beautiful picture. The makeup is great. She looks like a regular person without it. This isn't a dig at all - I love me some good makeup

i will add my experience on the eyelids My doctor did a field of vision test which I failed and insurance paid for eyelid surgery. What a difference in what I saw! I look awake now and its been 10 years .

Interesting. Al Franken made the switch to "serious" after his comedy career. So I guess it is possible.

I'm greatly saddened that Rosie O won't have a platform - she was great on the Craft segment and in interviewing Lucy Liu. Whoopi is a "piece of work". What in the world does she think she is doing? Maybe Rosie O could take over for Jon Stewart. I know that isn't a possibility and probably wouldn't work, but I am losing two favorites in a short amount of time. I might need some therapy to help me recover!!

Methinks it is because she won't stand still long enough for a shoot. Of any length. Best chance is to hold her.

Listening to Neil Patrick Harris's memoir and he says when he made Clara's Heart that Whoopi Goldberg was wonderful to him, showing him the ropes, making him feel welcome, etc. That's the Whoopi I wish we saw on The View. Everyone who has worked with her really seems to like her. Poor fit as talk show moderator.

Turkey is not that hard to cook. Modern turkeys take a whole lot less time than what is called for in older cook books. I have a recipe I've been using since the 60s and the turkey used to take twice as long to cook.

I am listening to Neil Patrick Harris's memoir and he does say that he is best friends with Kelly Ripa and that his family spends some holidays with her family. She mentions that she sees him now and then, on a social basis. Maybe she is different behind the scenes.

Sending positive thoughts and hugs to Maisie and you and your family.

Y'all are hilarious!!!!

Spencer Hastings - I totally agree with you. I posted something similar a while back. It takes a certain amount of mental energy to pull all that off. And the prospect of being disconnected from everything familiar is probably something they don't want to confront.

Maybe she doesn't know if she "never" or "ever" wants to get married. Also we don't know what kind of prospects JB has presented her with. And we don't know if on closer inspection of her by them that after a few minutes any of them said "no thanks". She is pretty - but what happens in a chaperoned situation with a prospective suitor. Does she clam up? Look bored? Smile a vacant smile and nod? I wonder if there's something going on in the house of JB trying to pressure her and her digging her heels in - oh to be a fly on the wall.

Some of the comments to that Instagram are pretty interesting.

We were loyal WNTW watchers and are giving this a go. Since it is only 30 minutes, after watching 2 shows we are okay with it. Really - could watch the beginning to see what the candidate started as and then FF to see how she ended up. It may evolve. Or not

My girlfriend made those 3 ingredient brownies with the Nutella. They were fabulous. At least to us. We don't do Pinterest so it was a new idea to us.

Funny, Cementhead. I've watched all of the WNTW shows. Her streak is natural she says. She seems a little too animated on this show, although I think she is smart enough and with some toning down and maybe practice she could function well as a substitute co host. Haven't watched her new show yet, but it is on the DVR.

And did anyone notice how bald Whoopi is? I'm guessing pulling her hair all these years has done some damage. Anyone?

Time to write ABC again. I wonder if they will notice that I have been complaining about Whoopi every day she is on lately. I get an automated response. Who know if that's where it ends. I'm thinking of sending a registered letter requiring signature (knowing that a lackey would sign for it)

Congratulations, wanderwoman! Hoping all goes as smoothly as possible and you get to cuddle your little girl at home very soon. Great name.
