  1. Or host a meal every Friday night or a party once a month on Sunday! (Although, does she have any oncome, or would Abishola and Bob be paying for all these parties.)
  2. Haven't we seen it all before? Including a discussion of Tunde and Olu living with Bob and Abishola at some point? However, we never got to see Tunde do Deacon "stuff" (besides going off to smoke a cigar), which would have been new. Seems a shame to focus on the same exact issues when there are so few episodes left.
  3. If Sheldon is living in the dorm, that means he's eating 3 meals a day at college. Who's paying for that? (I also don't think the school would accept the liability for a 13 year-old living on campus by himself, but I'll allow it.) It's also interesting that Sheldon doesn't miss his trains or any of his other stuff. They really skipped over the details of this major transition.
  4. To be honest, I really don't want to see her and Dottie butting heads over the baby. I'd rather they end with her pregnant and everyone happy.
  5. And your younger kid is in college, something you couldn't accomplish for your older one! Beer. She's probably on Medicare without a drug plan (part D). And if you don't buy it when you're first eligible and then want to add one, you also pay a monthly penalty. I doubt she could afford to pay for it. In a previous episode, Neville gave Jackie money to cover her own expenses and she gave it to Dan to invest in goods for his business (did he ever pay them back? That would make a big difference in Neville's eyes) after Neville specifically told her not to give him any of Neville's money. Now, Dan has "lied" about money that Neville gave him for a specific purpose. Neville just doesn't trust Dan when it comes to his money.
  6. Christina should be more worried about taking unregulated "medicinal" herbs while trying to get pregnant or during any pregnancy than she is about a spot of potential mold.
  7. Not sure why the urn had to be next to the bottles of alcohol. There is a table with a large flower urn visible behind and to the left of the kitchen table, probably close to Dottie's bedroom. So, that would have been a good compromise. (Not that Abishola should have to compromise in her own home.) It's enough that her mother-in-law lives there now, although since her own mother does, too, i suppose that is cancelled out.)
  8. When Dottie mentioned the turkey baster, it made me wonder why Christina isn't trying in vitro fertilization (with no shots or hormone-related mood swings) before trying in-vivo. At her age, is the latter recommended so that the embryos can be screened? And I'm surprised that Dottie didn't want the future head of BobMax to be named "Max", after his deceased grandfather.
  9. It may not be necessary, but i would think that a nurse would wash her hands, and would want to swab the injection site before sticking the needle in her, by force of habit.
  10. And in the earlier meeting when Goodwin came in and told them of the looming strike.
  11. Thanks. On the Conners, Mark's "journey" to college as a very smart student from a very poor family is even worse than Dele's (I can believe that Dele has an inflated sense of his dance ability and therefore made poor application choices, but it's basically unbelievable that Mark wasn't getting inundated with full/almost full rides to schools that are better than the one in his community that came with no money.) I've been through the process a bunch of times in real life in the last dozen years (although never had a kid interested in the arts) and did my research. And I definitely knew the dates that acceptances went out!
  12. Dele should: 1) have applied to Harvard and any other top school that his mother would approve of Bob paying for (because it's his income that will deny them financial aid), 2) have submitted his essay about how much he enjoys dance. A top student who also has a demonstrated skill in an extra-curricular will have an advantage over someone who is just a top student. The only problem is that Dele has been very limited in what his mother has allowed him to pursue with his dance interests. This should also be a problem for Juilliard-they don't just want to see a video, they want to see a list of performances and experiences. 3) major in something practical that he likes, such as chemistry, economics, etc. - it's a fallacy that top schools have pre-med majors. A pre-med student takes all the pre-med courses, and majors in anything he wants to, although there will be more overlap if it's biology, chemistry or biochemistry. 4) minor/concentrate/whatever in dance and perform in as many dance groups/shows as possible while at college 5) attempt to participate in dance-related experiences during the summer: internships, auditions, teaching 6) if he does well, dance-wise, drop the pre-med pretense and just finish his college years in whatever (non-dance) major he chose 7) if dance doesn't work out for him right away after graduation, with his diploma he should be able to get a job that's better than waiting tables while he keeps practicing, auditioning, and waiting for his big break And yes, you can break into the arts without a degree from a performing arts school. One example is Anthony Roth Costanzo, an accomplished opera singer who attended Princeton instead of a music school because he "wanted to spend his college years seeing “the world through a larger prism” before moving full time into the narrower world of opera.": https://paw.princeton.edu/article/life-opera Also see this article, written after he won a Grammy: https://playbill.com/article/countertenor-anthony-roth-costanzo-on-the-transformative-nature-of-philip-glass-akhnaten Of course, Costanzo was an acknowledged talent before he went to college, so Dele should definitely have an education that does not focus primarily on dancing. Dele also has a father whose income would be considered. Also, if Dele refused to apply to Harvard, he's certainly not getting on a plane to Nigeria. I'm also a bit shocked that Abishola didn't insist on looking over all his applications and watching him submit them. And acceptances don't come via email. There's a portal the applicant logs into on a specific date. And wouldn't Abishola know the date that Harvard issues acceptances? It's easily searchable.
  13. That was my point. Is he living there, or does he bring his money sock with him and put it in the drawer? Did someone move his stuff in? Can you imagine him sleeping on either a top bunk or with someone right above him? But I guess he does, because there isn't any place for him to sleep at home.
  14. Thor has his shield, but that's probably not what you mean. If Trevor had been wearing pants, he might have had stuff in his pockets. I guess there was nothing in his jacket pocket or in Pete's shorts. Just imagine if Flower had been wearing jeans and had a joint and a way to light it on her!
  15. He at least listened/paid attention to the wives when their husbands wouldn't. And this allowed the husbands to ignore them even more. So both wives and husbands got something out of having him around. And the women were subtly competitive with each other so could never confide everything. But they thought they could with Capote.
  16. Between the broken window and the station wagon possibly needing repairs, the $800 will soon be gone. Good point. I'm going to guess no more than $5 each week, and he's probably not thrilled with that. Between the broken window and the station wagon possibly needing repairs, the $800 will soon be gone. Good point. I'm going to guess no more than $5 each week, and he's probably not thrilled with that. So the dorm room miraculously has bunk beds in it this episode, and Sheldon keeps his money sock in a drawer, which indicates that he also lives there. But Joaquin took a shower in that bathroom, implying that it's his room. Maybe they are hoping we won't care?
  17. Yes, I wonder what other class would want a potty book. Even kindergarten seems old for it, but perhaps they think it is funny.
  18. I guess Carol will be rooming with Hetty?
  19. Here's the article that started it all: https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/a40376194/truman-capote-la-cote-basque/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=arb_ga_esq_md_pmx_hybd_mix_us_18717285305&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwMqvBhCtARIsAIXsZpbGL82f4Q8kgxEkKPz8OYa3rw-QYHRNIddOVojSGKulD3d5KbCnLfAaAk_0EALw_wcB
  20. There's a theory that he betrayed them to get revenge at the sort of people who had rejected his mother's attempts to join high society. Good question. Also, Lee didn't marry Herbert Ross (the "gay" director) until 1988, 4 years after Truman died.
  21. When is the last time Isaac has seen a person urinate on the floor, either in person or on television? I know he hasn't been to a tavern in ages, but he's surely seen television shows where patrons go to pubs, speakeasys, taverns, restaurants, etc. And if the argument is that tv wouldn't show floor-urination, it certainly shows men entering restrooms and standing in front of urinals. His insistence on straw on the floor for that reason seemed highly unrealistic.
  22. That's better than my plan: Ghost chain, with Thor the anchor on top. Hetty could even take off her dress and lower it to Flower to add extra length to the chain as long as she is holding on to it (I'm sure she is wearing plenty of undergarments.) But they better not drop any more ghosts. And her portrait was still in all the promotional materials, along with those of the 7 other ghosts. I just don't think they would write out a major character unless the actor wanted to leave, which is what happened in the British version. This isn't a show like Succession that kills a major character for shock value. It's a highly rated comedy.
