I also hope this means she encourages her girls to learn and value education. I almost posted that in my original comments, but her making an effort to broaden her horizons, whether it's through classes or reading or visiting museums, is modeling being a lifelong learner to them too. And that's just as important for them as it is her.

Oh I don't doubt it would do her good. I was more commenting on her attitude of bemoaning it but apparently doing nothing about it. If she's truly uncomfortable with her base of knowledge (which is completely fair given the way she was raised), there are ways to combat that. She can sign up for classes, she can read books, she can watch documentaries, she can visit museums, etc. Nobody can help the bubble they were raised in--and hers is smaller than most--but deciding to stay there is on her. I am also probably being snarkier about this than I would be because these are the same people who made a big show about posing with classic books and blathering about how much they love them. Well read the damn books too and don't just pose with them. LOL

And truthfully she doesn't even have to enroll in a class to learn. You can learn every day of your life if you read. As to quote George R. R. Martin, "A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one."

Thanks for the head's up! I think I fixed it and yes you're correct. LOL

As I've said before on here, don't use this one in a job interview. Ask me how I know. . . .

I literally thought to myself just now, "There's a George?" 😂

I don't either, now that you mention it.

Her social media presence over the years has suggested that she doesn't believe this at all. She thinks Josh has been railroaded and is innocent. I don't have any sympathy for that. After sitting through that trial, for her to still believe that, there's a willful ignorance there that I just don't respect or pity. I have no doubt she's miserable, but I don't think for a minute it's because she's bewailing the fact her husband is a pedophile.

He is so annoying! I refuse to believe anyone genuinely misses him. LOL

Started watching that a year or so ago because my grandfather was watching it a lot. I am in my thirties, and though I know a lot of the classic Western shows, I'd never heard of it before and have really enjoyed it. Dale Robertson has no right to be so handsome and charming. LOL I was also pleasantly surprised by The Rifleman. I assumed it would be cheesy, but it can be surprisingly hard-hitting.

I doubt she will ever comment, but her mom apparently liked an Instagram post that said he was accused of rape and then claimed she was hacked and was supporting him. Sure, Tina. I'm sure the hacker used the same French router that set Josh Duggar up. 🙄 Between that and Solange beating his ass in the elevator several years ago, I suspect her family really aren't big fans of his.

Yes! I also find his relationship with Stan fascinating. I always had the impression that Gaad didn't like Stan as much as Stan assumed he did, which I don't actually judge because, though I like Stan as a character, he really would be a pain in the neck to any superior. LOL And that Vietnam line was one reason, but there are other little moments throughout the show where Gaad seems annoyed or quietly contemptuous of Stan.

I actually really enjoyed Gaad too. I didn't love him like I did Arkady--who's like an all-time top 5 TV character for me--but I did find him entertaining. Even him beating the shit out of the poor innocent Mail Robot, another fave of mine, cracks me up every time I think about it. Particularly love when he asks Stan if Nina ate him for breakfast with this expression and tone that suggests that, yep, he already knows that Stan has lost that battle. The little random drop-in scenes he and Arkady do to each other are some of my favorite moments in the whole show.

I was beside myself with rage on his behalf and also utterly delighted when he popped back up in season 6!

I also felt so sorry for Vlad! Though I will also admit there was a part of me that was already so attached to Arkady that I was relieved he burned his hand on a capitalist potato and was not available to be kidnapped. Leave Arkady alone!
