Angeltoes

My best friend growing up was one of ten kids. This just made me realize that her parents didn't seem to have any friends either. Her mother probably wished that her father had some friends and left the house once in a while so maybe she'd have gotten some time off from shooting kids out of her uterus like a Pez dispenser.

Jana always reminds me of a scene in La Bamba. Ritchie's family is moving from the migrant camp. Ritchie's brother, Bob, is sitting on his motorcycle while Bob's sorta-girlfriend, Rosie, stands there looking very upset that he's leaving. Bob makes eye contact with her and gives a little nod towards the empty seat behind him. She thinks for all of two seconds then climbs on and they roar off down the road while her father is screaming her name. Jana, darling, we all want that for you. Somewhere a motorcycle is revving its engine for you. Climb on, hang on, feel the wind in your hair and don't look back.

Do you hear that "tap, tap, tap" noise? That's fate chiseling away at my childhood and teen years. I have two coworkers who are always together so in my head they are nicknamed Laverne and Shirley. This afternoon (before the news about Penny came out) that caused me to think of my favorite joke from the show. Shirley was stating she was going to find a rich man and get married. Laverne said they only thing rich guys wanted from them was vodeo-do-do. Shirley: I don't vodeo-do-do. Laverne: Oh, you vodeo-do-do. Shirley: (indignantly) I DON'T vodeo-do-do! Laverne: Well, you vodeo. Shirley (after a long pause): Once. And I'd been going steady for a year.

You must not watch Judy Judy. People like that show up on there all the time and have other people fighting over them. Never ceases to amaze.

I don't see what's so novel about rent-a-Santa. In Miracle on 34th Street, which was the late 1940s, the drunk Santa came from "the agency." There is even a Santa Claus school. http://www.santaclausschool.com/about.html I was amused by the one Santa cracking up when Daymond said he knew they were all bikers in the summer. He was probably right. I agree that this guy should try to corner the market for Halloween since it's now the second biggest money holiday.

I think he knew exactly what he was doing. We may have finally found a Duggar that's good in the sack and cares about making his partner feel special. It's a sign of the Apocalypse.

What was the name of those things? I wanted to look them up.

Speaking of library books, for some reason it drives me bats when people turn down page corners to save their page. It feels like they've wounded the book. Bookmarks, people! Our library always has a stack at the checkout counter. Or use any scrap of paper that's handy. Or the return date card from the front of the book.

I laughed at the adult Timmy's comment that he and his dad wouldn't use the word love with each other for another 40 years, and then only at the insistence of a judgemental hospice worker.

I hear ya. I have earplugs stashed everywhere. In the mornings at work many of us are usually waiting in our cars for a supervisor to unlock the building. One of the "kids" (about age 25) sits in the parking lot with his music going boom! boom! boom! This is my quiet time to play games on my phone and shouldn't be made to feel I should crawl under my car because we're being attacked. I'm trying to find a polite way to say,"Knock it off and have some respect for others or I'll kick your ass" but nothing comes to mind.

Is this the first time ever that we've heard Dan say a direct "I love you" to one of his kids? He was always more of the type that shows it but doesn't say it.

Joy, lose the hat or wash your hair if that's the reason for the hat.

That's okay, she got two new boobs in the form of her husband and father-in-law.

libgirl2, so was it worth developing or did you wind up with eight pictures of the picture taker's fingers? I love this show. I was 12 in '72 and raised Catholic so all of these characters are familiar. Also, my best friend was one of ten kids - her mother had the last two, which were twins, when we were in 10th grade (much to our horrified realization that these 40-year-old people were still having sex). Michael Cudlitz has been a favorite of mine since Southland plus we share a birthday.

They probably thought they'd multiply like the biblical loaves and fishes.

Mr Angeltoes and I wondered (in this era of helicopter parents) if an angry mommy or daddy has called K&J and gave them hell after their little darling got cut. "Do you know what I've spent on #@! dance lessons?! She's as good as anyone else out there!"

And I really can't grasp the fact that if Harris is the pregnant one then our little Darlene will be a grandmother. That makes me feel older than Moses. I'm still trying to come to grips with the fact that Lecy Goranson is 44. Where did my youth go??

Who is the woman that escorts the girls into the "principal's office" and why does she have to be there at 10:00 at night to do this? Can't Kelli or Judy get up off their ass and call in the next person?

I hope Dan doesn't drown his grief at the Lobo and knock somebody up.

When did she do this? I totally missed it. I am becoming fond of Kendra in spite of her giggle. She seems kind and thoughtful and a positive thinker. We need more people like that.

She wasn't even asked to do it. It was just supposed to be JB (although I totally agree he should have turned it over to Jeremy's folks) and she ran right up there to help him. We don't call her ME-chelle for nothing. Jessa is following right in her mother's footsteps with her pompous announcement that she knew just how she wanted to decorate the nursery. No wonder Jinger is so happy-as-a-clam to be living in another state. I've got an idea for a gender reveal....send a group text to all interested parties and say,"We're having a girl!" Voila! Done! If I hadn't known those were Kendra's parents when they came over to help her with the car seat, etc., I never would have guessed. They just seemed like a nice older couple that they knew from church who were giving them a hand.

New real episodes won't be back until next spring. https://www.housebeautiful.com/lifestyle/a22686489/flip-or-flop-season-8-hgtv-christina-tarek-el-moussa/

I must have the heart of the Grinch because my eyes rolled at the group all bellowing,"We love you, Pat!" as he was being carted away. You guys have known each other for 15 minutes, take it down a notch. I have known most of my coworkers for two years and I wouldn't be professing love to them even if the Grim Reaper was picking them up in the parking lot. This season's drinking game is a shot for whenever anyone says "like." My cousin's son has just done the same. Maybe they'll meet!

For sure, she's this generation's Jodie Foster or Kristy McNichol. I'll say one thing for Rob Lowe, he's seems to be aging naturally and looks like most normal middle-aged guys. As for his character in the movie, that guy must not have seen very many Lifetime movies if he didn't know that you don't let the wacko have a chance to switch hot chocolates.

Supposedly this info came from a "former employee of the Duggars" - so, yeah, bs. https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2017/06/kendra-caldwell-did-she-court-jedidiah-duggar-before-joseph-dugg/
