Oooh Maggie is british. And the Englands just got super close to the World Cup and lost to Croatia, just wondering if he survived the tumult.

We had tornadoes near me, my power went out flickery-like but not too much right where I'm at.

Everybody survive Elsa? Did the British guy survive the world cup?

Yes, I'm not sure of the appeal with Jerry Lewis either but yeah he's big in France. I knew they had an archive of the old threads, I actually met many of those people, we went to St. Louis and Mansfield to go see Laura and Almanzo's house, It was fun and not even one serial killer in the bunch.

When this was TWoP I was a member of the LH club. "Pa Ma and the Mime that raped Sylvia" was the name of the thread. It was good times but yes there was some ridiculousness going on with Mimes and Mlines and baby battering rams etc. When I visited France my aunt said they LOOOOOVE Little house and also The Dukes of Hazard which I find very odd, the french people love our prairie bonnets and our short shorts.

They didn't kill him though! Oh, no, no nononono of course not. Pa climbed a mountain and built an altar and jeebus himself saved/cured young James. Pa grew this beard that looked like a squirrel died on his face, omg it was epic. Laura once ran away because she thought she killed her baby brother Frederick because she wished he wasnt so annoying and getting all the attention, she climbed a mountain and god took the form of Ernest Borgnine and he helped her realize she didn't kill him. And, and and one time Carrie feel asleep and dreamed giant strawberries. Somebody in the writers room was gettin high. If you love LHotP there's a tiktok dude whom I adore @mrstoneauthor he's FANTASTIC. He recreates scenes and his Harriet Oleson is spot on. Caroline comes in to sell her eggs and Mrs. Oleson poo poos something or other, Caroline gives her a piece of her mind and then Harriett shouts "NEEEELLLLLLLLLS" and he nails it. He rates the prairie dresses, well he rates all kind of cinematic couture and does watch-alongs with other retro tv shows. He rates the prairie hunks, etc etc

Most definitely Little house on the prairie started to jump the shark when they kept adopting kids. Jason Bateman, the crying frogface Cassandra, Nancy, Shannon Doherty over in the Wilder's clan....I guess I give Albert a pass because of his addiction to morPHINE.

I don't think I invented Hard Pants, the phrase nor the actual hard pants. Although, if I could cash in on it I would. I wish I was home this weekend, i would have checked out Blazing Saddles, don't think I've ever seen it in it's entirety. Went to Jacksonville, it was ok, they lost our hotel reservation or cancelled it under suspicious circumstances. I think holiday weekend they didnt want the cheap online discount so it mysteriously got lost and expected me to pay the extra "regular" price but the whole town wasn't sold out we just found another hotel and got refunded. The new hotel didn't have great cable or else I could have watched Blazing Saddles because the weather wasn't great. We now had no pool, sigh. but it was ok, saw some stuff, ate some bbq and it wasn't home so it counts. Plus my car kinda drives itself. My car is not that fancy, it's the cheapest/best gas mileage I could do on short notice but it has "adaptive cruise control" which I did not know was a thing. So I set my cc and I'm wondering how come I'm going so slow. Well it keeps up with whoever is in front of you. If it's a winebago going 55 you go 53, if the winebago moves boom you go back up to 70. And I swear it was staying in lanes on its own. It's got the "lane correction" if I fall asleep it beeps at me but sincerely I believe it was steering itself. Doesn't park itself, that was most def above my pay grade.

I see that they're asking New Yorkers to turn off a/c but they aren't shutting down times square to prevent blackouts. Be safe IN CASE OF EMERGENCY REMOVE HARD PANTS

Also loved Mr. Whipple "Please don't squeeze the Charmin" Oooh, OOOh OoOooOooooh so racist "Ancient chinese secret, huh?" for the laundry detergent.

I loved the talking parkay tub. I loved that Mother Nature lady. I was fascinated by such weird things. There was a 3rd grade teacher who I just thought was the MOST beautiful woman and super classy. She wore high heel wedge shoes and you could hear her clickety clackety coming down the hallway. And she wore a teased updo kinda messy bun. I thought she was so fancy and when I reflect back now I think she was middle aged and dressing too young for her age and kinda leftover hippie vibe but at the time I thought she was sooooooo cool. I also loved Charo. Hahaha John Bennett Perry is Matthew Perry’s dad! AND AND AND drumroll please…the sailor dude in the OLD SPICE COMMERCIAL!!!! like sailor man comes home from being at sea and his woman runs and jumps into his arms. I LOVED THAT COMMERCIAL. I was a really weird kid!

Can't help you there. But you know what did keep me up last night? aside from nausea about buying a new car...Real People. anybody remember that? IT was like "That's Incredible" and they'd take a dude and send him to Iowa to look at the world's biggest ball of twine. Sisters that could pogo stick. Real americana, slice of life stupidityeree. Skip Stevenson, Sarah Purcell, Byron Allen and For a hot minute the kid from "you'll shoot your eye out". One of these stories stuck with me, Leslie Lemke, he was blind and autistic. HIs birth mother abandoned him so Mrs. Lemke raised him and had taught him to walk by strapping him to her and his feet lifted with her feet. And turns out he was a savant, she kinda played the piano with him but he got to where he could play anything he heard. Now as a 5,6,7 year old I was not terribly impressed with his piano skills. I wanna say they made a movie about him. but why in high holy heaven did that come to my mind at 2 am? And I remember the butter commercial "It's not nice to fool with mother nature"

Yes she posted pictures with her children that said “he’s not my dad” I thought they had fun with it. Memes before memes were a thing.

Guess whose car died? Guess who's renting a 10" box truck because rental cars cost $197 a day? Guess who's paid uber a lot more money than they wanted in the last 2 days until they could get said box truck? There were no just plain old uhaul trucks or vans. Anybody need anything hauled? It will cost you approximately $20,000 but I call that a bargain. Anywho, backing out of my driveway yesterday my transmission decided it no longer exists. So I learned a new trick...if your car is now permanently stuck in reverse you cannot push it forward back into your driveway. So I keep trying to push forward and it keeps going backwards and I think I'm all right because I'll just back up to park across the street except I forgot I'm actually in the open door of my car pushing and duh the door hits your neighbors car. So then I realize if you turn the car off then it's basically in neutral and it rolls. sigh. I had a humdinger of a morning. So I write the neighbor a note, call an uber, call a tow truck etc etc. This morning the car won't start (maybe because it's not actually in park?) and won't shift at all where yesterday my shifty was all loosey goosey. I assume it will still roll if I get the tow truck. I'm just gonna deal with it on the weekend.

I know they imagined it that Miss Kitty was his girlfriend and it was all wholesome. Real life? nuh-uh Sheriff's taking off his boots and hat. Even if she'd retired from the actual work, girl had a past. She didn't get to be in charge outta nowhere. My dad made us turn off "the Breakfast Club" because they kept saying the "f" word but I'm all "dude you know he's boinking Miss Kitty!"

I loved James Garner! My father famously never watched anything set in modern times, he only ONLY watched reruns of Wagon Train, Bonanza, the Rifleman, the Virginian etc, etc on WTBS or WGN or whichever show had them all day on weekends. Maverick was a favorite so he would watch Rockford but only because he had transitioned from a western. He watched Quincy and Hawaii 5-0 which were current at the time but are quite dated now. Otherwise he was living 24/7 in 1872. You can't bring up the logic that Miss Kitty was a Madame, ahem, because he believed all those shows were so "wholesome". And game shows, lordy mercy do I hate "Wheel of Fortune" to this day. My dad would be in his room watching "wheel" and shouting out the answers to puzzles because, naturally, we were supposed to be watching the same thing in the living room. We weren't, we're watching "alf" or "Cosby Show" or "Full House" all of which he considers garbage. One of us had to be on the far side of the room and one of us had to sit "lookout" if by any chance my dad headed down the hallway we sent a signal and flipped the channel before he got there. He always told us we were stupid because we never answered the puzzle before him or answered any Jeopardy questions. In college my roommates were confused why I listened to the tv so quietly. Volume still is not high on my tv to this day and no Wheel of Fortune in like 30 years. I still shake milk when I take it out of the fridge but that's a whole nother story.

I can recall a few episodes of Charlies Angels...Kim Basinger was a prisoner they rescued, the prison was running a gambling hall and the pretty prisoners were forced to be escorts. I don't think this is the same episode but also a prison theme...the ladies went undercover in a prison and got de-loused and it has vividly stuck with me for decades. They made them take showers and gave them their prison clothes but they had to open their towels and get sprayed with the bug spray canister. And I remember being shocked and confused, I didn't even know what delousing was and I don't even own a penis but I was kinda turned on. I really wanted to peek around that towel. Their escape involved stealing the prison potato truck and throwing boxes of potatoes at the pursuing vehicle. If only there was still a career in writing I do recall police/mystery shows always had someone being followed in a car and their trickery involved in losing a "tail" and my whole adult life I've been disappointed that I've never had to use that skill

I never watched Mannix but I did watch Rockford Files with my dad and a few years ago it was playing from start to finish on some channel and so I re-watched it. And I was always struck by what a loser he was. He lost fights, always tried to run and was just really unsuccesful as a PI even though he solved the cases he just wasn't getting paid. He was always pulling over to find a pay phone and I always said him and the Charlies angels girls sure did need the cell phone to hurry up and get invented.

We had to rethink our reunion* this past summer, my own personal reunion will be in October, the only people I care to see will be there. It's just the first reunion because I'm soooooooooo young. I'm practically a baby. I've heard "Hacks" is good, gotta get a free preview or figure out a way to see it. Anybody got anyone famous from where they are? Nobody from my specific home town but our celebrities from Albuquerque...Neil Patrick Harris, Freddie Prinze jr., French Stewart, Jessie Tyler Ferguson, Demi Moore was in and out of New Mexico as a child.

Haha super clam is Charles ingalls. It wasn’t cold cold here but temperature did fall to like awesome! Went to Atlanta and went to Hawaiian chick fil a. Sunny and warm but not hot. Friday was an almost disastrous day. My air conditioner stopped working. Thought it was dead and gonna cost me $8000. Nobody was going to be able to come until Tuesday. By a miracle she sent me a guy and he stomped around in my attic and called a few dudes to see if anyone had a part on a truck, boom. Capacitor found. Costs much less than $8000. He says it could last a week or a decade. Crisis averted.

There is some Spanish series on Netflix that is supposed to be very good about a crew of like 5-6 female bank robbers. Money Heist. I have a friend who won't shut up about it but I don't necesarily always listen to her but then I saw some article about the 10 greatest things on netflix that aint in english. I wasn't looking for any kind of quality out of Army of the Dead, There were a couple plot lines that were instant "stfu" for me. I like Tig Notaro and I liked Dieter.

How far away is your son? My friend's son is in Idaho and they are planning to go there after christmas for some weird snow mobiling trip. Like snowmobiling I can do, she says it's super cheap. Skiing? I'd be dead in 4.2 seconds. I might last 10 seconds on the snowmobile. She says it's super cheap with some national park pass (military discount maybe?) but it includes your cabin and having snowmobiles for your stay.

Dude if I get much done after lunch it's a miracle. I did go see "Army of the Dead" I liked it. Carnage and violence to soothe my soul. Not that I have stress or anything. #hardpants

I don't quite get why you would think I'd harm the cat or the cat is being neglected. The cat will be with me for 4 days. She's not neglecting it and I'm not neglecting it. Jesus. All I'm saying is that while I'm working (a 4 hour shift) it will have to entertain itself in a freaking cat gymboree in the kitchen. This is not 6 months where I'm locking the cat in a dark closet with no food and water. Sheesh. Sarcasm is my thing. I harm no animals. The gymboree is literally a plaything for cats, yes you can close a door but they have activities. I get fired if the cat is in the room with me and meows or walks over my keyboard. I don't actually think she will want to facetime with the cat but if she did I would find it silly. I think she is probably super cat mom and its new for her. She could literally spend all day with the cat, she's less than 3 miles from the house sitting gig, she is allowed to leave. 3-4 days, not a lifetime.

Now I feel like I graduated in the middle ages. I was getting $20! Awesomely awkward as well because they were handing me graduation money at my mother's funeral. Cheap bastards can't even mail a card with the money, they're like "we are here might as well shove some money at the girl" I have made the egregious error of agreeing to babysit my friends cat. Here's the deal, the house-sits every year for a wealthy family in Hilton Head, I think it's kind of a lucrative deal for her. She gets to hang out in fancy schmancy and walk the dog or dogs, few times a day and they pay well for this. She recently acquired a cat. Why she can't take the cat with her or even leave the premises once or twice a day to go home and feed the cat, I don't know. Perhaps she feels the cat can't be alone. Not only do I not want the thing in my house, it's a pain to close off my office for when I'm working at night but also just ....CAT! I don't want to face time the cat with her or leave it alone in my house, I haven't cat proofed in a while. My cat used to dig through my bathroom trash for qtips, my cat was odd. I don't want this cat in my stuff. My cat used to love to go into my closet and just sit in the dark, my closet door is broken and I can't close it. I don't want to hunt for the cat if it goes under a bed. I have a porch, not the most escape proof, but also can't leave it all day out there. I have a cat "gymboree" which is basically a cage. I got it for my cat with ladders and a hammock swing but essentially it's a cage, my cat I left the door open and he could go in and out the cat door. I aint got time to teach that to the new kid. She may think it's child abuse if I leave her in the cage when I'm out. She sends me pictures several times a day of her cat and quite frankly I don't want to send them to her while it's in my custody. (I shall not be getting paid the way she gets paid for the housesitting)
