[House Hunters: Buying in the USA]

People in my neighborhood bought an old house with a detached garage, then moved the garage forward until it was near the back corner of the house and connected them by adding a mud room/laundry between the two buildings. 

 

Edited to add: Tonight's episode with the NJ to Atlanta couple made me embarrassed to be from New Jersey. She was a caricature of an aging Jersey girl with her big hair, too tight clothes and spike heels and I thought she was pretty insufferable with her "Falcon Crest" allusions (which the young realtor didn't "get" at all) and if said the word GRAND one more time...

[S06.E06: Always Accountable]

I thought the threesome originally mistook Daryl for a Wolf (which would be really easy to do considering his hair, clothing, etc.) and that's why they said "we thought you were one of them!" and not one of the group they were escaping from. 

[S06.E06: Always Accountable]

I have to rely on my closed captioning when I watch. That's the only way I knew Insulin Girl's name was "Tina" and her sister was never called by name aloud but my CC referred to her as "Honey." The guy apparently does not have a name, we can make one up! At the end, it indicated "help" was spoken by a "man's voice" unlike when Rick was identified as shouting to "open the gates" at the end of Morgan's episode. 

 

A couple of other things, when Wade and the other guy were talking about "he only wants them if they're willing," I thought they were talking about their mysterious leader wanting the sisters for sex which led me to believe the whole "you didn't have to do this for me" was Tina apologizing for not being willing and causing them to flee the group. Maybe the trade was sex for the insulin. 

 

speaking of sex, I must have missed the whole Abraham/Rosita having a relationship. I thought they were just hookup buddies. 

[Mark & Nikki: Touch That Window, Lose Your Hand]

I apologize for asking a question but I wasn't paying close attention to the first episodes. Is Mark's ex Filipina wife the mother of his grown children or is she someone he married after divorcing their mother? 

[S06.E05: Now]

 

 

I don't think any of the ASZhats recognized her in her Ninja outfit during the wolf attack.

 

 

 

Er - you mean other than Olivia, the defender of the armory pantry closet?

oops, you're right! I forgot about Carol's quick "Here's how to shoot a gun" tutorial!  Maybe Olivia is still traumatized about the experience, or hasn't had a chance to tell anyone about what happened. Or maybe she's figured out it's in her own best interests to keep quiet. As far as Carol's teaching someone survival skills YET AGAIN, didn't she come under criticism at the prison for teaching the kids how to defend themselves instead of the readin' writin' & 'rithmetic that everyone thought the kids were learning? 

 

Also, I don't think we've seen the last of that storm drain/sewer/whatever...

[S06.E05: Now]

The uncertainly of Rick's RV escape was spoiled for me when my close captioning at the end of Morgan's episode showed it was Rick yelling "Open the gates!" At that point I thought, "Phew, I guess he got away somehow" and figured they would explain it during some kind of flashback at the beginning of this week's episode. But, no!

[S06.E05: Now]

I just figured Carol wasn't in this episode because she's home babysitting Judith. We saw Carl wandering around when he fought with Ron, so Carol is the likely person to have "spelled him" after she returned to the house and changed back into her June Cleaver (no pun intended) persona. I don't think any of the ASZhats recognized her in her Ninja outfit during the wolf attack. But I'm also concerned that there might be another story taking place involving Carol, Judith and the Lone Wolf. 

[S06.E05: Now]

Since less than three years have elapsed since the ZA began but in real life Chandler Riggs has aged six years, maybe the only solution to explain his amazing growth spurt is to either re-cast Carl or kill him off, neither of which would be popular options. 

 

And earlier when I said that Enid was "fun" to hang out with, that was not really the right word. I meant that she was mysterious and adventurous and probably enjoyed being treated like "one of the guys". 

[S06.E05: Now]

 

...this could very well be a planned community in a part of Virginia, about 20 out of the city center - there is a lot of this type of "wealthy, rural, but planned" crap in NoVa.  They wouldn't name it Alexandria though.

My thoughts exactly! Why couldn't they have set it outside of DC, but in a more rural area, within commuting distance of the Capital and given it a fancy but non-specific planned community name? Even Alexandria HEIGHTS would make more sense than trying to make us believe they are in the real Alexandria. 

[S06.E05: Now]

Just a few random thoughts which kept me awake last night...

1) I'm glad somebody gave Olivia the "all clear" to come out of the armory and resume her food pantry duties.

2) The awkward, close-mouthed kiss that Denise planted on Tara led me to believe it might be her first "dip in the lady pond." 

3) Not surprised Ron considers Enid his girlfriend, even if his feelings are not reciprocated. She's the only teenage girl around and I'm sure she's fun to hang out with. Until Super Cool Carl came to town, Ron didn't have any competition for her affection except for Nicholas' son Mikey. (Hey, have we seen Mikey since the first day when they were playing video games?) 

4) Could there be another story playing out simultaneously in Alexandria with the characters we didn't see tonight like Carol, the Wolf, FPP, Enid, etc?

5) It really bugs me that we're supposed to believe this is taking place in extremely residential and commercial Alexandria Virginia, an area just a few miles outside of DC that has thousands of homes, stores, offices, etc. and is crisscrossed by major highways. THIS Alexandria appears to be a planned community kind of out in the "boonies" that could be in just about any state.

6) Could the walkers be "juicing" themselves on the holes in the walls and eventually the herd will be reduced to a pulpy mass of easily dispatched snarling heads?

7) I am not the least surprised that we didn't learn about Glenn's fate last night. In fact, if next week is going to center on Daryl, Sasha and Abraham, then there are just two more episodes before the mid season hiatus to tie up loose ends, like with the injured Wolf. I think the last episode will end in a cliffhanger where they find the watch at the dumpster, but no definitive sign of Glenn's body, and we will be kept hanging until next year! 

[S06.E05: Now]

I would imagine that by now the group has gotten pretty immune to some awful smells. And on a related note, why can't they just toss those bloated bodies over the wall? Disposal problem solved!

Eating pizza with knives and forks?  Wimps.

Whenever I've been served pizza in Italy, it came to the table uncut. It was too big to pick up and eat in once piece, so I had no choice but to use a knife and fork to slice it into smaller, more manageable pieces

[S06.E04: Here's Not Here]

 

In the zombie apocalypse you'll need a valid government ID, credit cards, an ATM card and your health insurance card.

Well, keeping your ID in your wallet works for the guys but now I'm going to have to shamble around with my PURSE 24/7? 

[S06.E04: Here's Not Here]

 

...I liked those small details because they did tell us something about who the person had once been and that they had had the bad luck to have more or less died at their freaking jobs.   Now they're all bundled in what looks like 17 layers of ratty grayed out clothing...which makes it all the harder to remember that they were ever actually people.

Good thing they still appear to be carrying valid ID! 

[S06.E04: Here's Not Here]

 

were they bodies covered up on the floor next to him?

 

 

3.) Not that I noticed.

Thanks for your answers. I re-watched the last few minutes and what I thought might be covered up bodies appears to be some kind of makeshift mattress or building supplies, too short to be a person when compared to the Wolf's extended legs and there appears to be a big log on top. Edited to add, it does look more like a nasty slash wound than a bite. 

[S06.E04: Here's Not Here]

Forgive me for asking (probably dumb) questions, but here goes...#1) Did the Pet Wolf Morgan is keeping in the unfinished townhouse say to him (when the Wolves got inside ASZ,) "YOU weren't supposed to be here!" #2) do we know for sure that Wolf was bitten or was he injured in another way which is not necessarily life threatening #3) were they bodies covered up on the floor next to him? 

[House Hunters: Buying in the USA]

I also think the Portland couple might "come from money." I couldn't help but notice she was wearing a huge rock, another family heirloom perhaps?  

[S06.E03: Thank You]

And couldn't the dumpster be positioned over some kind of trough or depression in the ground? See, I'm still working on my personal theory that there's more to this dumpster than meets the eye

[S06.E03: Thank You]

I can't help but hope that the dumpster is not your ordinary dumpster! Couldn't it have been set up previously as a safe hiding place by Morgan or Enid? (At this point we don't know for sure where either of them are, right?) Could one of them be witnessing what's going on and will provide a distraction that will call off the herd long enough for Glenn slide under and escape? Maybe wishful thinking, but not knowing their whereabouts makes me suspicious. Edited to add: it just popped into my mind, could there be some backstory connection between Morgan and Enid? For example, she could have been marking the trail for HIM?

And I, too, received NO PITY from another forum years ago when I, as a newbie, innocently replied to a troll. I was swiftly warned and received a black mark on my permanent record which never went away...(oops, I just see that in the meantime we've been very nicely urged to move on)

[S06.E03: Thank You]

Dang, shouldn't have killed Pete...

[House Hunters International - General Discussion]

I was so relieved to hear that Ella was "enjoying" all that Green Space in Lund, but I wondered what they would do with her when they traveled with all the money they saved.

[S06.E03: Thank You]

Do we have any idea how many Wolves there are? It seems that quite a few were killed between the last episode and this one. And why, of all things, would one of them pocket a jar of baby food unless there is maybe a baby wolf back in the den? Or he had a hankering for strained carrots? 

[S06.E03: Thank You]

In reply to the theory that Enid was marking a trail to lead the Wolves to Alexandria, isn't there another theory that the Wolves are the exiled Alexandrites (and therefore wouldn't need anyone to give them directions)? 

[S06.E03: Thank You]

If Glenn had been definitively shown among the Dead in the Memorian section or a guest on TTD last night, there would be no ambiguity or discussion about his fate today. The viewers are doing exactly what the writers want, fueling speculation about "is he" or "isn't he..." which creates great buzz for the show. The vague message about his fate can be interpreted so many ways, 1) Glenn will live on in his unborn child, 2) we will see him in flashbacks (which to me is cheating, it's the same as watching old episodes) 3) he will come back as a walker, etc. Maybe he was able to slide underneath the dumpster like he did with the tank. Maybe it is set up inside as a sweet little studio apartment by Enid for when she leaves ASZ and he'll be able to wait it out until the herd moves on. Maybe someone saw him (Morgan? Enid?) and will rescue him. Or maybe he is really dead. If that's the case, I hope he will be at the front, leading the herd when it reaches Alexandria. Anyway, I predict for the time being he will be "missing" and we will not get any answers until the mid season finale next month. 

[Property Brothers - General Discussion]

I'm still shaking my head in disbelief over the new episode last night. The husband was in "landscape maintenance" which I figured was a fancy way of saying he mowed lawns, but they had a $ Million+ budget. The wife must have used the word "bling" a thousand times and the husband stressed that he loved to cook and wanted a very high end kitchen that included a "teppanyaki grill" and a pizza oven! Conveniently, one of his landscaping clients was selling her house and they had the opportunity to bid on it before it went on the market. She originally wanted $ 979,000 but supposedly since she liked the couple, she accepted $ 814,000.
