  1. "Time of year and location meant they had a lot of highly-adoptable kittens and a shelter (with whom Jackson had history) willing to take them.  There aren’t many other combinations of circumstances in which you can call and ask a shelter/rescue, “Can you take 50 kittens?”

    I was joking with my husband that Denver needed kittens because every weed shop needs a mellow cat mascot so there's a demand. In facet, it might be a law. Maybe things will be looking up for the kitties of California soon :)

  2. I went back and looked at the property records and Gary's old house in Anderson was in Madison County and his new place in Pendleton is in Hancock County so totally different school districts. On the other hand, I do sincerely with Gary and his family every happiness in the world.

    @TresGatos mentioned new school, but that was never said on the show. It was just a misunderstanding. 

    It's just that Pendleton and Anderson have totally different schools. I found this from Indiana legal aid:

    What happens if we move during the school year?

    If you move out of the school district during the school year, you can choose to remain in the same school for the remainder of the semester. If you want to stay until the end of the year, you can ask the school to allow you to stay in the school until the end of the year. It will be up to the school to make this decision.

    However, if a student has completed the 11th grade at a school and then the family moves out of the district the student can choose to attend 12th grade in the school where she went to 11th grade.

    Can I attend a school outside my district?

    A student can apply to attend a school outside her district. The student may have to pay tuition at that school if the student is accepted by the school. Some schools have limited space for tuition students, so you may or may not be allowed to attend school outside of your school district.

    IAnderson and Pendleton are both Madison County and part of the South Madison School District but they have totally different high schools, elementary schools, ect. I just thought that they probably moved during summer break. It's just my experience with Indiana that if you move 25 minutes in any direction (20 minutes from Amber instead of 45) you are moving into a new school district. Anderson and Pendleton are both pretty large towns. Pendleton has a prison so a lot of prison workers liver there (so it will be convenient for Leah to visit her mother in the future if some predictions bear out). School districts can be weird, I was another one went to a different public elementary school than my next door neighbor and my elementary school was in another town than the city we lived in in Kentucky so I guess it could happen. However, it looks like Gary's address might technically be part of Hancock County and Realtor.com says that schools for that address are located in Greenfield, Hancock County which is still part of the Indianapolis-Carmel-Anderson Metropolitan Statistical Area but would be a different school district.

    On the other hand, a bet Leah will have a blast on the farm. I hope Gary gets her a pony...a miniature pony.

  4. Teddy Roosevelt graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard and then attended Columbia School of Law. Before that he was homeschooled, he really disliked the education he received at Harvard, and he eventually dropped out of Columbia. However, he did inherit enough money from his ultra-wealthy parents that he could have lived off that for the rest of his life if he has so chosen.

    Teddy Roosevelt also said,

    "I advocate a man's joining in church works for the sake of showing his faith by his works."

    So... Donate!

  5. Leah cracked me up when Matt said he was taking her to a friend of her Dad's house and she said "I hope it's close." She's a smart girl! I'm also glad that she seemed OK with the surprise move. A new school, moving away from friends, it can be pretty overwhelming for an 8 year old but she seemed to take it in stride. It was heartwarming to see how much she obviously loves her baby sister. That was too sweet but I did not like seeing her riding on the lawn tractor with Gary in the closing scenes. That is really dangerous and it is not uncommon for kids to get seriously injured/killed doing it.

    When Kate opened up after the girl who chose adoption related her satisfaction with how her relationship with the parents and Cate opened up and actually seemed somewhat animated and talked about Theresa's "communication" and how she wished Theresa would call her and talk about her "fears" it seemed like Cate was really projecting there and also seemed like she saw herself as somehow being a co-parent with Theresa.

    I do think that women and men contemplating placing a child for adoption should receive counseling from a licensed professional not affiliated with the adoption agency and their own independent attorney before any papers are signed.

    Farrah's date, Asaf, was on the show "Are You the One".  Just another reality star wannabe.  Farrah seemed almost normal a few times in this episode, but her interaction with Sophia is just so bizarre.

    And also Are You the One: second Chances! Atif is a dog but he's an adorable dog. I would like to see him on a Challenge.

    The issue with outstanding mystery fashion- boobs.  Bows around neck dangling between breasts, necklace, necklines coming to a point = highlight ownership of boobs.  You wonder why these girls are so fucked up? They're told regularly it's a sin to possess  breasts, like they can do anything about it. Any time a man looks at your breasts - your fault.

    It reminds me of Carrie - "Dirty Pillows"

    I'm terribly sorry if I'm wrong, but I thought Cate and Tyler were a couple first - and that's HOW Butch and April met? 

    You are right! So I guess it would be a Reverse Caitlyn-Tyler which, somehow, makes me want to use brain bleach so Thanks! (Thanks?)

  9. For a while I've been thinking about posting about fashion on Hot Bench, especially jewelry even though Judge Correiro seems to wear a wedding ring and a watch and seems to own maybe 2 neckties but I have noticed Judge Acker and Judge DiMango wearing jeans and cute shoes, Judge Acker wearing athletic shoes and Judge Dimango in heels. Then yesterday there was a case where a woman living on $600 a month disability was suing her ex and possible (according to him) baby daddy for a truck. She had a suspended license and could not register the truck in her own name. She seemed to be developmentally delayed when she spoke. He was a smarmy over-coordinated dud and his witness, I didn't see her testify to anything, but she was wearing what looked to be white, terry cloth house shoes. The kind with the Velcro wrap across the top and toes exposed!

    In any case, I think yellow gold is very flattering on Judge Acker. She seems to always wear yellow and her jewelry looks real and expensive. Judge DiMango mixes it up with both yellow and white gold. She seems to favor chokers and while I admire the jawline and graceful neck required to wear chokers just because you can doesn't mean you should. Sometimes Judge DiMango looks like she's trying to hang on to a 1970s rocker chick look, especially when she pairs chokers with big hoop earrings. Then hen she wears the black chokers it reminds me of the old short story about the woman who always wore a black velvet choker and when her boyfriend playfully untied it her head falls off. I do like the big rings she wears and her bracelets and the fact that she seems to mix fine jewelry with costume.

    In any case, the same day as the terry cloth slippers, Judge Acker said, paraphrasing, "I think I should be one of those girls, those model girls, who roll out of bed and earns $20,000 for posting on Instragram instead of getting up every day and sitting on this bench but nobody else thinks so" and Judge DiMango piped in and said, "I think so!" which made me think that Judge Acker and Judge DiMango should throw their weight behind a line of jewelry and accessories they can sell on QVC or HSN but I can't think of a name for such a line.

    Although Judge Corriero comes off as the most mild mannered of men, family cases really seem to affect him greatly, he also comes off as someone who may have an offbeat hobby. Recently there was a case about a family living in a cockroach infested apartment and the defendant, the former tenants, had a National Geographic quality photograph of one of the cockroaches. He passed it up and Judge Corierro was absolutely gleeful as he tried to show it to Judges Acker and DiMango which makes me think that, at home, Judge Corierro has trays and trays with insects pinned to cotton, every one carefully labeled and cataloged.

  10. I haven't listened to the Brandi Glanville podcast but it seems to read like that after the word some, and just before she says she isn't naive, she is saying, you think I'm going to be with some..." the word "pussy" seems to be missing while I suspect it's there in the podcast, which, if I'm right, just shows how deeply Amber has internalized misogyny. She references "everything I've been through" as to why he doesn't want to be with a "pussy" because she's a "bad ass motherfucker," just like Matt is a "bad ass motherfucker" and we all know they are bad ass motherfuckers because they drive a Corvette, and collect Rock-n-Roll memorabilia, and fly off to Vegas, and live in Geist, baby.

    I truly hope this Vivid talk is just a distraction. I feel so sorry for poor, innocent, little Leah. Amber is an idiot to think she wouldn't be teased if Matt and Amber released a sex tape and that somehow Amber could control the narrative so that Leah finds out under Amber's terms when Leah is somehow "old enough" to deal with it? The woman is a craven moron. Just the fact that its in the media and being discussed ups the probability that Leah will get teased on top of the stuff already there with her mom going to jail and Amber's struggles with drugs and just the gross stuff that's been televised about Amber and Matt. It's just cruel.

    Amber is putting it out there that if she releases some sort of sex tape it would be good "business" and she thinks she could make "millions." How could this possibly be good for her actual "business," Forever Verwildret, or whatever it is, Terre Haute Chic? Does she really think a sex tape, or even talk of a sex tape, is good for business? Even after the Kardashians sunk Sears? (I know they really didn't sink Sears, but still).

    And then there is the ridiculous notion that she would use her cooch millions to start a string of rehab facilities, or halfway houses, or sober living houses, is just ridiculous. Are they going to be places where you can be "sober" and still drink alcohol? If Amber really had any intentions of helping fellow addicts she should have done something to give her one shred of credibility: take some classes, get a certificate, volunteer at a shelter, something, but no, just some grandiose plans she dreamed up while stewing in her own couch juices and watching Adult Swim at 2 a.m. No different than my saying that when I hit the Powerball, with the Powerplay, our county will have an animal shelter fit for the Queen's Corgis. 

    Poor Leah.

  11. What a beautiful episode. I laughed so hard when the robo-dobermans attacked Barry, who was genuinely scary in this universe, and then the dobermans being ripped apart by the love-struck goon and Archer's comment that he didn't have a flashback for this! I was dying. And Kreiger mourning his dead dobermans - saying he had nothing and the robo-kitty meowing and Kreiger telling him (her?) he (she?)  doesn't count. Charlotte throwing the chair because the dobermans were ruining toast and then using her throwing of the chair as justification for not taking any further actions and her telling the love struck goon in what dream world would they ever end up together? Perhaps a world where Cecil and Trinette end up together? The German implied incest porn magazines were a brilliant touch. Then Archer walking into the blinding white light, his stop at Woodhouse's grave where he said he would see him again and boy did they ever kill the shit out of Lana! Add, to that, the death of Poovey's dream future, right when she had the cash to make those dreams happen, although I am happy the Chinese ladies took their destiny into their own hands. I hope they stay out of brothels unless it's a shared feminist collective. In all, an exquisite season (despite the complete lack of Ray for the latter part of the season). With 8 episodes this does feel like half a season and that there should be a Part II coming which, I guess there could be but I am fascinated by where this could go.

    Matt is terrifying.  What did Bubba even say that was so messed up, according to him?  All I heard was him saying it wasn't cool to get married on a whim like that but she can make her own decisions. I didn't hear him trash Matt so what's the problem? Seemed totally reasonable to me.  Matt was insane the way he repeated "what did he say?? I heard the whole thing" okay then why are you demanding she repeat it to you if you already know? 

    What would Amber say she likes about him if asked? I can't even imagine what his good qualities are?

    Reporting from InTouch Weekly:

    "There’s a reason why we’re together. First of all, because he’s a bada-- mother f--ker, okay? Nobody knows this…Me? Come on now. Everything I’ve been through, you think I’m going to be with some — I’m naive?” she said during Brandi Glanville's podcast called Brandi Glanville Unfiltered."

    That poor robot cat has a UTI! 

    I was a little worried he (she?) has worms. On a related note, I am now calling my orange-and-white, non-robot cat "snooki putzi."

    I am also enjoying this season a lot. I do think 8 episodes are too few but last season, which may be my least favorite season of Archer, what I felt were some of the best episodes were "filler" that really didn't fit into the overall storyline plus I felt the main storyline was too loose. Season 7 could have been much tighter and worked far better, IMO. The filler episodes in Season 7 could have been incorporated better into the main storyline for a better overall season so maybe a perfect sort season is better than a longer flawed season even though even a flawed Archer is pretty darn awesome.

    Isn't it pronounced "Hoe"???  Honestly just curious... because isn't there Terra Haute in Indiana and I think it's pronounced "Tara Hoe"??

    They're saying Hote. It's pronounced "oat". No hard "h".

     

    I also hear it pronounced "Hut" quite a bit in the area around Terre Haute but that might just be to irritate the Terre Haute people. I have never heard it pronounced "Hoe".

  15. My favorite part of this episode was the reference to 1943's I Walked With a Zombie "The zombie titular."

    I really enjoyed Cecil and hope we see him again.

    The flashback during the car chase/shootout at the end was beyond beautiful, visually, as was the shot of the Griffith Park Observatory.

  16. Watching this episode gain made me think about all the people who are not i n Dreamland; especially AJ as the Wee Baby Seamus seems to have disappeared from the Archerverse but I think it would be fun to see Aj and Seamus as adults and teamed up for some purpose. No Ron either and I wonder if Katya will make an appearance in a later episode. Maybe as Cyril's (ex?) wife. I also wish the morgue attendant had been the gun librarian from ISIS and I wonder if the hot dog gag had something to do with the Archer Ap they keep advertising (Look for clues!).

    Wow. Finally caught up, starting with the Sean and Patrick (Tweedledum and Tweedledee) and Ms. Englent freak show. Can someone tell me how the ghastly and beastly Ms. Englent, who felt it was just fine to move a convicted sex offender in with her kids has a job this year working with mentally disabled adults when last year she was working at Chucky Cheese (and probably got fired for ingesting too much of the inventory)? Are mentally disabled people so marginalized, so unimportant that anyone would think this horrible person, who is a total liar, amoral, who has the worst judgement ever and who is so desperate for a warm body that she has no qualms about exposing her own children to sex offenders, should be entrusted with their care?

    I live behind a group home for developmentally disabled adults and from my observations, yes, yes they are.

  18. I loved the parts with Poovet and the scenes where Archer and Poovey almost both had the black eye and sometimes looked like mirror images of each other except it was the same eye.

    Loved seeing Cecil. Hope we get to see him again, with Tiffy if possible. I still hope old man Vandertunt will speak and it will be Chris Hardwick.

    The robot cat was everything!

  19. Comcast had it under Archer under the A shows for every season but the current season. FXX had Season 2 and so does Comedy Central but you can fast forward through commercials on Comedy Central On demand but not FXX. It was not under FX when I looked but 2 days ago, after an email to FXX asking what the hay? Archer:Dreamland was On Demand and in re-watching the 1st 4 episodes and there is a line in this episode uttered by Archer, "Hello, 1933 calling - They want their Gold Digger back" may be my most favorite line uttered by anyone anywhere ever.
