    But what happened with Dr. Andrews's toilet seat?  We never saw what the hospital's toilet seats were like, and I don't remember whether he took it home with him.

    My fan fiction is that when Mrs. Andrews and Dr. Andrews had a fight the day of the Guatemala trip, Dr. Andrews said, 'To hell with you: I am going to join my team in Guatemala.' Mrs. Andrews replied, 'Then take your damn toilet seat with you!' and she threw it on the front lawn.

    I'm guessing he was in California at the time - I would not be surprised if they expunge the marijuana charge and just want him to pay a fine on the FTA.

    I am guessing he will get community service, which will become an interesting plot device next season.

    When she told him she wasn't tired anymore after delivering the baby an old Jimmy Buffett song popped into my head, "Why Don't We Get Drunk..".

    That's funny. The song 'Let's Do Something Cheap and Superficial' went through my head. About the same difference!

    But since it exists in the same universe in which they cut away just as DJ and Geena went in for a simple kiss in a previous episode, it's troubling.

    Wasn't that a throwback from the original Roseanne? Isn't Geena the black girl that DJ was reluctant to kiss when they were in school together? (Can't quite remember the episode- maybe DJ was suppose to kiss her in a school play or something.)

    Am I the only one who starts humming "Rocky Mountain High" every time I see Ronald?

    I am with you, but I was humming 'Thank God I'm a Country Boy'.

    Blood transfusions have to be screened, otherwise the person getting the blood could get HIV, Hep C, etc. If it was as simple as making an announcement in the area they could have made an announcement in the hospital itself, hospitals are huge and everyone in them has blood. This was pure storytelling exception.

    Thank you for this information. So you would say that the mother donating her O negative to the other mother's child is just in service of the story and not real life? How long does it take for the blood to be screened before it can go into the body of another?  (I guess I have seen too many Westerns where the donor and receiver's arms were side by side.) Thank you again for this information. Really. I was about to make an announcement for them at Walmart (only half-kidding.)

    Also, wait how much blood did they use on that kid if this seemingly large hospital is running out of blood? Another hospital has no blood because of a pileup? It's a large city, I imagine they would have more than two hospitals...

    Yes, this not a MASH unit in Korea! They are in San Jose and have to wait for blood to come from LA (that's at least 300 miles away)? There are plenty of hospitals in between. Hell, why can't they just make an announcement at the local Walmart? 'All people who may think they have O- blood please come to the front to save the life of a child.'

    On a superficial note Lea is beautiful but I feel they’ve really fuglied up her wardrobe this season.

    Her makeup has also been really low-key this season. Don't know the rationale but I bet these are artistic choices.

    I can't help it, I love Dennis and Davia. Intellectually I know it's wrong, but I just love them together.

    You loved them as a couple, or how their beautiful voices blended together?

    If Gael has unprotected sex and the other partners accept, it is not unreasonable to think that they also don't care about protected sex

    How would they have handled masking and social distancing if their universe contained COVID!

    So I guess the moral here is that, if your business is going under and you need a way to save it, just take hostages and wait for the kickstarter to begin and for everyone to cheer for you! Small business owners, grab your guns and the nearest rando, this is your moment!

    I was waiting for a public service announcement at the end: 'If you are 'having a bad day'. please seek mental health counseling before considering taking your customers hostage.'

    Of course Dennis shows up again right now as Davia moves on. And of course Isabella shows up pregnant with Gael's baby, possibly anyway. Gael should ask for a paternity test, even if he was dumb enough not to use protecting after sleeping with Isabella. Such drama. 

    Dumb enough to not use protection? He is also dumb enough to not buy curtains for his loft.

    Nate and Jeremiah’s basement wasn’t a kids’ play area. It was an apartment. BTW, maybe Tamara should supervise her kids better if they do 💩 like that.

    I have a gas stove in my kitchen and, believe it or not, my cats can turn it on. I bought toddler-proof plastic covers for each of the four knobs at Lowe's for $7.50 total. I have not had a problem since. I can't be the only one who knows about this. I think she just had to criticize something to help build up the suspense.

    I’m disappointed that the Brettsey-Dawsey thing has been drawn out for the entire season, and I think that could be a sign that Jesse Spencer is still up in the air for season 10 (they’re filming only a week or two before the episode airs). Five episodes to go.

    If Casey does leave, it would not surprised me if  Boden stepped down and took over his job. Boden sure had fun holding that hose again.

    That was such a stupid scene. "Um, I have this friend, who's a firefighter, he had a head injury once . . . what do you think it means??" I'm giving the doc the benefit of the doubt in assuming he was just playing along so Casey could save face. 

    Me too! But I wouldn't have blamed him if he had sent Casey a bill afterwards.

    Are people not watching the show anymore? This board is a ghost town.

    I am here and watch the show faithfully. It is frustrating that the characters do not seem to mature or learn anything. (Ex: Marianna still thinks lying will have no consequences?) I guess we are suppose to remember all the dumb things we did in our 20's and how long it took for us to reach any semblance of maturity. I remember Hugh Laurie being interviewed about House, He was asked, 'Is Dr. House ever going to change for the better?' Laurie said, 'People in movies change for the better but people on TV never do. That's why we watch, to see the same character make the same mistakes over and over again.' (This is all quoted from memory.) I think that is what's so frustrating about this show, I keep waiting for these character to grow up, and they keep repeating the same mistake again and again. Maybe good television, but not good for my soul.

    I am expecting Mariana to invite Raj to be part of her Bite Girls Club (token male). I am expecting Alice and Callie to have a hot romance and Callie but the one to get hurt. Of course, I have been expecting Gael to buy curtains for his loft for 3 seasons.

    Given what the scan of the dancer’s leg looked like, I could not believe she’d still be able to walk at all, much less dance. She had basically no femur left, so what the heck was supporting her weight?!

    Their dance is a common opera troupe: the diva has just enough lung capacity to belt out her last great aria before dying of tuberculous (I'm looking at you, Mimi).

    Is it unusual in the Ultra-Orthodox world for first cousins to marry?

    Yes,it’s unusual... I think they were more afraid he’d never marry though lol

    I think it also helped that Libbe had been in Belgium for so long so at least that had had that physical distance for a while.

    I thought that Shulem had mentioned that he had 6 children in a previous season. Anyone else have a memory of this?

    I remember it.  He also said he had 30 some grandchildren in the same conversation. 

    So we could have an entirely different series 'Shtisel- The Lost Siblings' and flush out completely different storylines. I'm game.

    I am not sure Asher did the right thing telling the patient's partner that she loved him. I know he was trying to help, but it really felt like an overstep. It felt like such a sad situation. They have had a couple cases this year about some kind of athlete/performing or had a condition that would make them stop, but this one had the added love angle.

    I wondered if it was an overstep for Asher to look at Leo's Instagram.

    I think the only siblings are Giti, Tzvi Aryeh, and the sister who was estranged because she married a Lubavitcher (another sect of orthodoxy)

    2. Can just everyone pick up any child at a daycare center in Israel? Doesn't there have to be a list of certified persons?

    Thank you patient person answering all my questions. I just thought of something regarding the 'stranger' who was allowed to pick up Akiva's baby. Maybe Akiva's cronies at the café are really his relatives, perhaps cousins and doesn't he have a few extra siblings the show has not focused on?   That would make more sense to me about why Akiva even asked that man to pick up his child, as if she was a bundle of dry cleaner.  Just a thought....but it helps me like Akiva better.

  22. 6. It looked to me as if both Shiva the lucky one and Racheli were from much wealthier families. Correct? Would that have been an issue?

    Thank you for answering my other questions. I meant, would there be some mention regarding Shiva that this could secure a better life for the son? Would Shiva's family think Shiva was settling because the Shtisels struggling financially more than them? Or in Ultra-Orthodoxy is the issue more the amount of holiness instead of the amount in the bank account. Regarding Racheli, I guess similar thoughts. Both couples seem very well matched to me, I just wondered if one of the family members on either side would be affected by the discrepancy.

    You are right. My backseat does not open from the inside, my front seat does. I guess if you are new to cars you might panic and not check the front.

    OK, if you are game more questions. I am so appreciative of your answers.

    8. Why do married people sleep in separate beds?

    9. Do the Ultra-Orthodox only eat meat on the Sabbath? This comes from a line the car-driving daughter-in-law said about how she, with all her other responsibilities, had to scrounge up meat for the Sabbath. It reminded me that I thought I had only seen the Shtisels eat eggs.

    10. Was I listening to Hebrew or Yiddish? This comes from the line Racheli said about Akiva signing to his daughter in Yiddish. Thank you and I am sure you are helping a lot of other people to with your clear answers.
