  1. It is a Marvel Superheroes type of poster -- I can kind of make out the Hulk and Captain America among others. I agree - not sure how it relates to Valentine's decoration but maybe it is always up there and/or one of them is a fan?
  2. This reaction to her post got me thinking of where they stole the title from - "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and the fact that I didn't really see that character as fat as much as "plain". Yes she was heavier than average but would I say "fat" - not sure. I mostly thought of the title as what I think Nia Vardalos meant - as a spectacle. And for Whitney, it was both to me - she thought of her life as a grand kooky spectacle but also as a body positivity warrior-woman. SO I came across this article about Nia Vardalos reacting to both her first movie and people commenting recently about her more recent sequel MBFGW3 - it is interesting - and she also is bored with constantly being asked about her weight since she lost 40 pounds (you will find the pressure about her weight loss was blood sugar and health) - https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-body/news/nia-vardalos-opens-up-about-pressure-to-lose-40-pounds-2009126/ Whitney is a special pain in the ass. But I do understand why she may be making the comments that she is.
  3. I have an odd issue that I like to follow generally what is going on with the trainwreck reality programs but they are so full of rehashed stuff that I fall asleep during them repeatedly. I didn't notice this season that they dealt with the separation/break up between Caleb and Tammy. Did TLC gloss over this and her attempting other relationships? I far as I could follow, they just showed her visiting a time or two and being sadly frustrated with his lack of progress but still seeming like she was waiting for him to join her in Kentucky then it jumped to his death. Did I miss something?
  4. Near the end of the episode, did anyone else hear the nurse call Dot/Nadine, "Linda"? Wondering if Roy identified her as such. Or if I was just sleepy and heard things in my confusion.
  5. I stand corrected! Can I revise some of my suppositions in my statement about the shade on Meri (in my defense, I did say "possibly")? I had envisioned them as Christmas themed PJs but they were not. I had to google this because of the comments after I posted and found video of when Meri made the PJs:
  6. And possibly the Meri shade with "something they can wear all year...not Christmas PJs"
  7. I had to do this for some Friday hijinx, so it is not meant to make fun of you Gramto6!!
  8. did you mean these jackets for Puppy and Eric? (also reddit) I can't remember the horrifying examples but the idea of this topic brings me so much delight - please people keep posting.
  9. From reddit with heading: Is this fashion or are they doing community service together?
  10. I took this to be like a Cameo or something to an ardent follower. The top of the video said "Kody Brown for Misty" and he seemed to be replying to something Misty had written in support of them - Kody basically was apologizing for a delayed reply too. Not that I know anything about the source of it. Strange that it also seemed like Meri was (re?)posting it. Kody does seem to swing between "call me elf one more time" and sounding like Stuart Smalley (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd3g0K9KlBI).
  11. That is awesome to hear so many people enjoyed the rowing aspect. I actually read the book a few months ago because my row club was talking about it. What is disappointing a bit to me is that the rowing they are doing in the show is sculling (most of the time when you say "rowing" it is sweep rowing or with just one oar). But when you get down to two rowers, you usually have sculling - that is where individuals row with two oars. I think maybe they wanted to focus on the one on one building of the relationship with her and Calvin and that seemed more natural for a 2-person scull. But a club that utilizes an octuple (that's an 8 person sculling vessel) is rare and I am pretty sure that the doctor that told her to come out to row with them in the book was talking about her being with them in an 8 sweep. Rowing is challenging and fun -- the people who do it have great personalities in general and love to share their passion. And I would love to learn to scull - about a third of my club members can do both. If you get a shot - check it out!
  12. This is the most beautiful subtle shade I have seen in many moons - well done!
  13. I didn't even know this was coming until I saw the new Primetimer Forums section for this! So I googled and found this article gave some information (casting and storyline in case you don't want to be totally surprised): https://nerdist.com/article/alien-tv-series-noah-hawley-artificial-intelligence-weyland-yutani/
