Scout Finch

Double post.

During the first episode when he was all monotone and dead-eyed listing off the things he liked, I mimicked his creepy voice and added: "You will put the lotion in the basket..." Didn't seem the least bit out of place!

A sleeveless top is one thing and I would give Rebecca slightly more leeway if it were just that. However, as much as it pains me to agree with Oilcan Henry, the exposed tattoo sleeves make it way worse. I don't even like them over here! I just KNOW she's going to take off her jacket as a "whatever, I do what I want!" move at some point in the next episode.

Only $3,000 to open a shop in Tunisia? Azan should move there since it's apparently half the price than it is in Morocco.

Stop. Putting. That. Out. There. In. The. Universe!

Ben Feldman still reminds me so much of David Naughton. (For us old folks, he was the Dr. Pepper dude in the late '70s/early '80s.)

Like roach motels?

You've got your 90 Day Fiance in my Bachelor in Paradise. Well, you've got your Bachelor in Paradise in my 90 Day Fiance. 90 Day Fiance: In Paradise? https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/90-day-fiances-ashley-has-disney-world-date-with-christian-estrada/

Reality shows collide. Well, at least he went outside Bachelor Nation, BLAKE. https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/90-day-fiances-ashley-has-disney-world-date-with-christian-estrada/

Was Jackson upset that Holly sullied the watermelon?

The whole reason I did not pursue art restoration further than two semesters was because of the three levels of algebra that were required for the chemistry portion. I barely squeaked by with a D in the General Math class I had to start with and this was in my 30s. I only lasted about two weeks in the Algebra 1 class. I really wish that there was something science-based that requires no math because I've gotten pretty interested in other areas of science, too, in my 40s and 50s.

I know I'm not the only woman who never wanted to go through pregnancy but I do think it's highly likely that there's only a very small percentage of us who are grossed out by bare pregnant bellies. Hard to admit.

I've always been of the opinion that the only salad that fruit belongs in is a fruit salad. Don't want strawberries or apples or anything sweet in with the vegetables. Obviously, tomato, which is a fruit, is the only exception and does not belong in a fruit salad. So, Holly's salad whether or not it has the correct ingredients would be a big "nope!" for me.

I've always loved Jordan but that makes me think of this. Bless her heart:

Was his name Lazurus?

I wasn't talking about the women on the show. I was talking about how in general it's a risk to have lots of different men who you don't really know yet in your home with your kids.

Initially, I couldn't figure out why they were unnecessarily showing so much of Carly bad-mouthing Evan because he would see the show later and it would be cruel. But it made sense later why the editors had done that. I do believe she did have a change of heart. I've had that happen a couple of times where I wasn't attracted at all to someone at first but my feelings would change after spending time with them. Granted, it was a greatly accelerated timeframe on BiP but even though I know there's a lot the editing monkeys do to make things seem different than they really are, for some reason, I've never doubted that Carly and Evan's relationship was genuine.

And, sadly, they are putting their kids' lives at risk because I think the odds are much higher that a child will be molested.

I actually really liked Carly on BiP, though not on The Bachelor. I think she and Evan are adorable! I've always found it interesting that I can despise someone on their original season but really like them on a franchise show. Michelle Money is another example. Of course, the reverse is true, as well, although no one immediately comes to mind that I really liked on their original season but changed my mind about on a subsequent show.

My mother has shared with me as I've gotten older (I'm 55 now) that she was quite promiscuous, especially after my stepfather cheated and she left him. They were together between my ages of five to 11. Thankfully, I never had a clue, as she never brought anyone over. We lived in a house with my aunt and my aunt's best friend so I wasn't left alone. I don't recall her going out at night all that much but I started babysitting pretty regularly at age 12 and would be gone until late at night. I didn't meet anyone until her boyfriend Bill when I was around 17 and about a year later we moved in with him for what my mom thought was going to be long-term but it didn't work out and we were only there for a few months. I have always been grateful that, yes, she did put me first and there were never any strange men around. Yo, Mothra, what are the princesses up to these days?

Brianna and Megan are the only people I like, especially Brianna. Love her hair, too! I thought Gentille was really nice, too, until her birthday party.

The Universe is in the tub, Christie. (One of the greatest phrases I've ever read is "God is in the tub" over on either Mighty Big TV or Television Without Pity...damn I'm old. I've been using it ever since. Christian friend actually asking God for help finding a parking space. Me: "God is in the tub, Rena, and you'd better not make him get out for something so trivial.")

That's what I can't figure out although I should know by now that most of it's probably fake. They had to have watched the show with all the scenes of Pedro begging Chantal to just come clean about why he was there.

Definitely Cliff. Elders usually get picked off early, although didn't Donny last longer than usual? He was awesome! Just remembered Kevin, too.

Co-worker expressing every. single. thought/feeling/yawning LOUDLY several times a day*/complaining about how everyone outside our department is incompetent/post-mortem-ing her phone calls/pounding hard enough on a computer key when something takes five seconds longer to print than she likes, that I can hear it four cubicles away. Me, 55-year-old female, who works at an international religious charity, no less, muttering at my desk several times a day because I already have bad irritability and concentration problems that she greatly exacerbates: "Shut. The. Fuck. Up!!" My other greatest hit is, "Don't know, don't care," because she's always asking questions to herself out loud, such as to why an allegedly incompetent person in another department is doing this to HER. She's been spoken to about it a few times over the past 13 years and her being quiet doesn't last more than a few days. Another co-worker and I have devised solutions involving electrical shocks but unfortunately, we know that would be frowned upon by HR.
