Spunkygal

I hope doofus Chip has the sense God gave a duck (to quote granny) and keeps all the Baylor apparel out of sight this season. If he doesn't, then he and his handlers are complete and total morons and needs Shiplap where the sun doesn't shine. Sincerely, Spunkygal, an ashamed Baylor alum.

Regarding the most recent episode, wow, I thought Bridget who is engaged to the snowboarder left the bottom half of her outfit at the hotel when she arrived at Kleinfeld's. I guess I am officially too damn old because then when they later showed her in the dress she bought in California and her boobs were hanging out, I cringed. Yeah, honey, you have a smoking body, but that doesn't mean you have to actually show us your breasts. Cringe moment #2 was when the bride featured in the alterations segment said she met her fiancé when they were both drunk at a frat party. Please don't advertise that being drunk at a frat party can equal happiness forever.

Chessiegal, I get so excited everytime I see you've posted an update! Thanks for taking the time to share your adventures with us. I had a so-so omelet in a bistro near Arc de Triomphe but even more egregious, I once had a terrible creme brûlée in Paris. It did not pass the "crack test" and the custard was grainy. However, the patisseries more than made up for it. Not just the croissants and baguettes, but the quiche! Have you had a crepe yet from a street vendor? Yum! Also, are you going to Montmartre? I have two sweet little watercolors from one of the street artists that I so adore and enjoy...both landscapes of a country setting. They may be my favorite travel souvenirs ever. Will you have time to keep checking back at the d'Orsay before you leave? Is the l'Orangerie open?

I enjoyed the couple who moved to The Hague too! They made me smile and I am glad they did not choose something that needed reno. Finally a couple that doesn't expect or demand everything to be like what they'd find in the US. I loved Sven at the end "I miss bacon!" When the "after move in" footage as shown, I noticed some pics of them with two adorable dogs but the dogs were never shown living with them. I wonder if they left them in Dallas.

Thank you, @yeswedo! And I get 15% off my first order by signing up for their emails. Order is being processed now!

I did find seasons 1-5 on Amazon but it says that the box set is not compatible with most US DVD players. Maybe I need to wait until the entire show is over (sob!) and look for it then. Don't leave me, CTMW!!!

Is there a full box set that is compatible with US DVD players?

ShoePrincess, wow, that is a gorgeous pic. If I ever make it to Paris again, I am taking fresh fruit and veggie pics. And those little signs are too charming. Chessiegal, I am loving your updates! Glad you are savoring every moment!

Thanks, CarpeDiem54! I FF through all the chatter, due to AT making me stabby, and missed that Wilcley got credit for American Eagle.

Wilcley didn't get credit for American Eagle, but I so agree about the Browns response.

In regular Jeopardy when Wilcley answered just "American Eagle" instead of "American Eagle Outfitters," I thought AT should have said be BMS instead of not prompting Not that it made any difference to the outcome but the inconsistencies drive me batshit crazy. But AT makes me stabby anyway.

Boris, is the contractor you are using doing everything...roof and carpet and the other flooring repair? The reason I ask is that roofing companies in my area usually bring their own dumpsters when they rip off the old roof. So that may be a consideration. Also, my city's waste management department rents various sizes of dumpsters to residents for a fraction of a price of what a commercial dumpster company charges, so you may want to see if your town does the same. Saved me lots of money when I ripped out my own flooring!! Which brings me to another point.....I saved a boatload of money by ripping out my own floors. If you can squeeze out the time and are able to do so, you might ask how much that would save in your renovation costs. Not only did I love saving $1,500, it was satisfying that at age 58 I could do it by myself! Good luck!

But wasn't that some time ago...as in SOME time ago? Sister Evangelina was away for six months, which happened way after Chummy left. And Constable Noakes has continued to be a presence. I think they had trouble coinciding Miranda's absence with the storyline.

I've been mulling over the children behind the scenes of this week's cases....well, really, children involved in cases every week. And it makes my heart hurt because I jump to conclusions about how ignorantly they are being raised and wondering about their safety. This week in my town, an idiot took cops on a car chase (thank God firearms were not used) because when they finally caught the moron, the cops were surprised to see the moron's six week old baby was crying in its unbuckled car seat in the back. And then on JJ we had the baby with congenital syphillis. Then Andre the liar who makes $8000/week, has a daughter and twins on the way. Then the chick who has three kids, two belong to the murderer in prison she wants to marry. All this to say that I remember in the old days game shows would have parting gifts like rice-a-roni or furniture wax. I propose that JJ give each litigant a case of condoms and directions to planned parenthood for the pill, maybe low cost neutering. Sorry, I think the syphillis baby pushed me over the frustrated, emotional edge this week.

If I were wedding pastor/puppet Tanya wearing what may possibly be the most ridiculous fake eyelashes ever, I would have quickly and voluntarily given LaQuanza her money back. Hey preacher lady, her fiancé is in prison for ATTEMPTED MURDER! Do you really want to piss them off?

Ep 1, Case 1 -- Dawnette with four kids was a stripper! Isn't it our American duty to pay to have them to be babysitted? Think of all she does for our society! Ep 1, Case 2 -- Raymond has a moustache that needed serious trimming. That was enough for me to rule against him. Ep 2, Case 2 -- I wish the Plaintiffs had asked for pain and suffering for the dog, even though we thankfully never heard how serious the bite was. The defendant made a tactical error by bringing asshole boyfriend as a witness when he supposedly didn't witness anything...who knows if he really did or not. They knew they would lose and wanted to be smirking jerks in front of 10 million viewers. Poor dog who had to be chained in the yard but then was in custody of animal control.

Still no Chummy? Is her character being completely written out of the show? It's just so odd to see Sgt. Noakes and no Chummy. I thought she'd be back for a brief appearance at the funeral. What a powerful episode. I am so drained that I don't know if I can calm my mind tonight. I loved how the pregnant girl wore Sister Evangelina's dress and after the delivery Sister Mary Cynthia said it was the best day the dress ever had. Yes, Delia's mother knows what's up but at least she didn't make a scene. Dr. Turner and midwives, please stop with the smoking!!! The acting in this episode was superb...award winning. How satisfying for me, the viewer, to see Sister Evangelina help Barbara and bathe the sweet baby. I will miss Sister Evangelina, so full of piss and vinegar, so human, so wise and not too proud to ignore her frailties. I know I'll think of more later but this is still sinking in. I will have to rewatch again tomorrow.

I personally hate tee shirts that have slogans. Touristy tee shirts are ok....."Yellowstone" or "Boston" or a sporting event or team. But the Florence husband's tee shirt at the end irked me.. "This guy loves his sexy wife." And at a wine tasting or whatever they were at...when they are at a big table with others around and talking about getting engaged in Florence and then he smooches her, then the camera pans to a young lady at the table who is smirking and looking at someone across the table, I felt like she was thinking "they didn't pay me enough to be here." In case you couldn't tell, I hated this couple, but love the dogs.

how about Shiplap Corner or Magnoliaville?

Yet another big-time purchase for the Gaines in Waco: http://bizbeatblog.dallasnews.com/2016/05/hgtvs-fixer-upper-stars-chip-and-joanna-gaines-have-purchased-wacos-elite-cafe-report.html/?_ga=1.40683362.1768838709.1431225808 How long until the town is renamed for them?

Thank you and, yes, it was. I cannot imagine better television. Nothing else to add, other than maybe I should buy stock in Kleenex.

New word alert! Ms. Burns who lent the car to Mr. Soto said that the interest was "exorberant!" And my DVR says JJ will be on Colbert tomorrow night.

Yep, I was waiting for the adjustment, too.

Don't know if the Brussels episode was filmed before the attacks, but I have always wanted to visit it. Those dogs are soooo precious and happy! I thought house 1 would be the choice. When they went through, I noticed those lovely pieces of furniture "left behind", i.e., chests and sideboard, which I loved. So I immediately thought that was their house, their pieces. But I am ready for more London episodes with our favorite realtor, Richard Blanco and his adorable laugh!

I was scared as shit that the mom had post partum depression. So much so that I was ready to delete the show if it indeed was headed that way. I had a personal experience with my next door neighbor in 2005 whose hubby was traveling for work and she called me hysterically screaming in the middle of the night that she wanted to hurt her baby because he wouldn't stop crying. My middle aged chunky body has never run next door so fast in its life. Thank God everything was ok and she knew she was in trouble and needed help. And she did get counseling. But I could not watch a storyline like that. Nope, no way, no how. BTW, that baby will be 11 this year and is the light of my life. He is smart, kind, adorable, (is in my will) and loves Aunt Spunkygal. But he will never know what happened as long as I have breath in my body.
