Me from ME

I just got around to watching the latest ANJ and I need to make a correction: He is the Real Life Ninja not the Real Live Ninja. (Although I did enjoy thinking of Pinocchio until I got corrected.) I've rewatched some early seasons and his appearance has really changed from the days at the car lot and early Ninja competitions with feathered hair and an earring that matched his shirt. His body awareness in the most recent city finals was impressive. I really enjoy seeing how he plans and executes each obstacle without any extra moves.

Calling the esteemed social media maestra Has there been a sighting on sm of Donna the best friend care giver since the Hawaii trip?

I'm sure he is and I hope you continue. Especially if he enjoys it. What I have a problem with is any self-referential adjective that is not humble bragging, but an indication how others should find you e.g. adorable, perky, zany...

Has anyone figured out why Drew Drechsel is the "real live ninja"? What makes him realer than any of the others? The sweat band? I really like him, I like the way he attacks the course and is cool about it - until he hits the buzzer. When he is exuberant at finishing that is fine with me. As it is when anyone expresses their happiness at that point.

I so agree about the facial expressions. She seems to be putting more effort into them than the "dancing". And seeing her move to music in her "studio" complete with garage door and wood floor makes me wonder if she ever will actually need a floor that is springy. Have we ever seen two of her feet leave the floor at the same time - I mean while "dancing".

I'm becoming weary of the Ninja's playing to the crowd between obstacles. It wasn't done very often a few season's ago and now some of them seem to be pausing after each obstacle that they do successfully. And please outlaw the heart sign. It might be my imagination but didn't one of them raise their arms to make the heart only to have the camera operator crop it out recently?

I think it is a wig. Look at the styled yet unnaturally thick part. From the looks of the rest of her there weren't any of the glam squad around. I do happen to notice hairpieces. Dan Abrams once sported an especially bad plastic one that reflected studio lights in a weird way. He may have implants now but if you look at his father's head you will see that they both have the same issue. Patricia Altshul was wearing her wig a little too much toward the back of her head during a recent episode. I would bet real money that three of the male leads on Big Bang Theory have toupees. Roger Stone...balding in his 20s and now a very thick rug. Back to Twit. I very much doubt that she could go from sparse to luxurious with her nutritionally deficient diet.

I seem to recall that she addressed it and it seemed like a reasonable explanation since I had been thinking she had been intimate with TRav and maybe his old man swimmer had caused the birth defect. Then I learned that she was in a long term relationship and had not slept with TRav. Something to the effect that she fell asleep at Thomas's house but didn't sleep in his bed or have sex with him. Sorry I can't be more specific. Does anyone else remember? When I find it I will give the details. Found the reference: http://forums.previously.tv/topic/28809-meet-a-cast-member-jennifer-snowden-qa/ July 12, 2015 Jennifer explains that her boyfriend had rented a Ravenal property at one point. TRav had bragged that Jennifer had slept in his bed on many occasions which was true, he neglected to say that he wasn't in the bed at the same time.

Even Planet Fitness or a place like the Y? Heck, they could join the Y ostensibly to take swimming lessons. Showering is mandatory before getting in the water. Two birds, one stone.

All great ideas iwasish. What motivated me to get one was an infomercial. You know the one, for a second shipping and handling fee you get a second cook top as well as some pots and pans. I did the calculations and it was no bargain. Got my first on Amazon and my second at Bed Bath and Beyond with a coupon. Several of us have suggested solutions to their issues with the kitchen and it has occurred to me that David and Annie are not very good at problem solving. We know that Tobo waits for Chris to bail him out and by the same token Annie expects David to take care of her. She said as much a few episodes ago. I'm not sure I remember the exact quote but it was along the lines of "You have to take care of me".

Since my friend and I rented the top floor of a house during our senior years in college with absolutely no kitchen I would have been delighted with what David has been offered. There's a sink, refrigerator and cabinets for heaven sakes. In retrospect, I don't know how we did it for a year but we used plastic tubs for dishpans and had an electric hot plate and big toaster oven/broiler. All that is missing at the storage unit is a stove and I am quite sure they could find one on Craig's List for less money than an induction cook plate, rice cooker and toaster oven. (BTW I have an induction cook plate which I love because it saves electricity but they are about $100 and it does require proper cookware to function. )

A little surprised that Shep had to rent his attire. I would think that he had escorted enough debutantes in his younger days and attended enough events with his family that he would have white tie, black dinner jacket as well as white dinner jacket stashed somewhere. I speak from experience since I have had to share my closet with all of the above as well as patent leather shoes - his not mine.

I wonder if one of them never let him know and is planning on approaching him at some point with a paternity suit? I know, sleazy behavior, but in my mind it isn't out of the realm of possibility.

In that video Buddy is a perfect illustration of the antithesis of enthusiasm.

Oh, Lordy she just posted a video of her dancing. What a freaking exhibitionist. It appears that they were driving near a Walmart and the mood hit. She thinks she is sex on a stick. It's all there - tongue stuck out and twerking her rear end at Buddy. When she did that he looked a little bit grossed out.

The vandals had the perfect color paint to mask"Dance Cl" as well as time to underline Big Girl .......Ass while the RV was parked in a way to shield the graffitists from the street but while being visible from the house?

Yeah, the more I think about it the less likely it is to me that the graffiti was done by a stranger. It would take far less time to add some eye glasses, a mole, and a goatee. If it was a production directed activity it was done so that it could be removed easily rather than having the full graphic replaced. I am also wondering how long she gets to keep the RV.

Not much of a chance of it since he is apparently back in Twit's orbit.

I can't decide if it is Babs or Twit. However, a huge narcissist would post a picture of herself as a tribute to her mother.

So, my parents lived for a while in the same town as Jon Alexis Jr, and "Flex" Labreck and I have been following both of those Ninjas with interest. At first Jon's job had been "paper company worker", then, carpenter, and now Electrical Engineer. Googled a bit and, yes, he has been studying electrical engineering. I think he graduated recently so...brains and brawn. Bravo!

Dot, you have a stronger stomach than I to choose to watch Steven Assanti. With that said, I have always thought it would be money well spent to contribute to a GoFundMe for you to book on to the next cruise with the Twit. I can't think of a better person to infiltrate and report back on the Foolishness at Sea.

Thanks AZC.

Am I seeing things? Just now on an episode of Dateline about Dirty John an expert was interviewed and he looked a whole lot like none other than Sean. I had only been half listening and I think that John took women as hostages and that the expert was introduced as a former FBI agent.

Years ago I joined a vegan dinearound group in my area. I liked the idea of finding vegan restaurants as well as experiencing new food combinations. I enjoyed it at first but was turned off by the PETA marches and demonstrations that they expected me to attend as part of the group. Sometimes the conversation was neutral but more often than not it was political. I think of them as the Militant Vegans. Is that an oxymoron?

Somewhere in her SM she referred to moving to Korea with her former fiancé. I wonder if was the same situation as with Buddy, Avi and Roy in which she conflates a casual relationship as being more serious than it actually was?
