    House Hunters: Buying in the USA

    I just saw the Little Rock episode about the air force pilot & his wife.  She sounded like a Valley Girl, and thank goodness there was no vocal fry associated with it.  Her idea of character was a sliding barn door in the bedroom, columns, and crown moulding, ya da, ya da, ya da.  None of the houses looked particularly appealing to me, and they probably won't be there much longer than 2-4 years, so I'm betting they bought what would be good for quick resale when he is transferred again.   

    I thought she was awful. She claimed there was not enough time to fold laundry or match socks. She was a freaking weirdo.

    Finn is EXACTLY a little Tori.

    Why is Tori dressed like she's a Victroian in mourning? 

    That's what I wondered. What an odd card. Half Victorian, half American Gothic. Dean needs a pitchfork.

    TGABS in the Media

    in The Great American Baking Show

    The Mario story broke over a weekend and I do not think he was slated to be in any episodes the following week. They asked him to step away while they investigated and fired him like 48 hours later.

    I still think ABC did the right thing here, though the right-er thing would have been to pay attention to the rumblings and either not hire Johnny or at least not start airing the season, since by that point it was clear which way the wind was blowing. I agree it does suck for the contestants and for those of us who like the show (in my case, despite Johnny, whom I've never cared for much). I wonder if they will bring it back for another season with new host(s) or if this is the end?

    So she marched her nasty little paws feet to the ballot litter box? Just a play on a quote for the sake of humor.

    She's actually named for Sir Edmund Hillary because she is so tenacious. With turds, as well as other more constructive pursuits, evidently. :-)

    I bought a Christmas tree skirt last year. I got tired of replacing them thanks to cats pooping on them. With my malicious pooper (who I adored otherwise) on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge and losing my sweet old girl in September, the only cat with run of the house is our old tuxedo, I might put the skirt around the tree this year. Ornaments that aren’t durable are out of reach.

    My nearly 18 year-old kitty was a malicious pooper until recently. With my dad's health issues, my husband and I have had to take six out of town trips this year and Hillary decided to express her displeasure by pooping in random places. I've been home for a couple of months now without leaving and she is finally calming down and not leaving "presents" anymore.

    My younger kitties are almost two and almost three. The older of the two was a terrorist to the tree the first time she coexisted with it. I took it down on boxing day because I was so tired of chasing her out of it. This year, though they will obsess about a different ornament daily, they are much more civilized. Strategic decorating helps, too. Nothing breakable or heavy goes within reach.

    Wasn't Jubilee the one who was buried in the gun cartridge case?  I seem to remember JB walking around with this metal case. They also had a funeral service with several hundred attendees, a cemetery plot and headstone. The whole thing was bizarre. 

    Yes. They buried her in an ammo box. As you do. And yes, the way they made a spectacle of it was completely bizarre and narcissistic. Not discounting that they were actually grieving, but this is the Duggars, so I suspect a good part of their grief was related to their competetive child-birthing failure.

    Molto Mario Batali

    in The Chew [V]

    · Edited by jcbrown

    I read the NYT piece and I am so creeped out (bullet: it is about the allegations against Ken Friedman and includes a note about a woman who saw Batali on a security camera feed groping and kissing an unconscious woman and moved to intervene). I am a lifelong feminist and a former rape crisis counselor so maybe that is why it affronts me so much when men I admired and did not suspect turn out to be creeps. So disappointed.

    YES!  He is always "on". Very perky and emotional. 

    To me, that feels insincere. I prefer people who are more real.  Jeremy doesn't feel real to me. Of course, i have never met him so who knows?

    I originally read this as insecure and I think that applies, as well.

    S15.E01: It'll Take More Than Pot Luck

    in Top Chef

    I did not mind mustache Joe's double entendre because he blushed so thoroughly when he said it. As far as villains, I suspect Tyler could get a bit old and the I thought the THs the Mexican woman from San Diego did were definitely trending mean girl.

    Step stools, have they ever heard of step stools?

    Seriously! Why must they always plant butts on their kitchen counters? My mom would have skinned us alive for that and I don't disagree that is appropriate. With a household of seventy-eleven kids, having step stools is an absolute no-brainer. Which, I suppose, explains why the dimwits don't do it--they do not use brains.

    The picture I posted was from The Chew's account who reposted Daphne's announcement and they acknowledged it on the show today, showing the picture and congratulaing her. They most likely were in the middle of filming yesterday's show when she posted the announcement. 

    So it was, thanks. Sorry, I am both Instagram-illiterate and a day behind on the show.
