  1. I wanted more of Diana and the boys playing Uno Attack (only because I know William would be like my older brother with this game. I wanted to see him pitch a fit when the device spat out 8 cards at him). I didn't think that game was commercially available in 1997, so I looked it up, and it didn't release until sometime in 1998. Prop error, or is there evidence that the Princes were gifted a prototype?
  2. She's entertaining, but not someone you would cite in an academic paper.
  3. That's Tina Brown. Her whole thing is interviewing anyone who was "in the room when it happened" to get their take, and uses those opinions to craft her story. A huge grain of salt is required when reading her work. It's her editorializing other people's opinions.
  4. I do love a TV bakery. No one works baker's hours, they work banker's hours and can pop out for a quick cup of coffee or lunch or whatever other shenanigans the writers come up with. No cute single baker is covered in flour and dough, if they are female they always sport a perfect manicure. There's no morning rush of disgruntled customers impatiently waiting for their breakfast/donuts for the office.
  5. I'm willing to cut some slack when it's a side hustle. Operating a website for your hobby is expensive and time consuming. Etsy did help back when it first launched, but that site changed a couple of years ago and it is not what it used to be. If your jewelry, art, etc. is not your full-time job, then Etsy is not for you anymore. The site prioritizes sponsored posts by drop-shippers and flippers (those who buy wholesale items on AliExpress and attempt to pass them off as handmade). When it's your side hustle, it's now far easier to do one set of photos and slap them up on Instagram or Facebook, then do messaging to sell.
  6. They either are extremely lucky and are gifted money from family and friends, are in debt up to their eyeballs, or know how to play the system.
  7. I only follow her on TIk-Tok, but a lot of creators post the same content on different SM platforms like Instagram.
  8. Probably not. The market will have moved on before any other Duggerling could even think about writing a tell-all. I can't see any of the other 15 having something to tell after Jill and Jinger. Maybe if one of the unmarried boys comes out as trans, there could be a book deal there or if Jana publicly comes out as asexual (though this would still be a hard sell with publishing). Publishers want something different, not a rehash of Jill's memoir.
  9. Lizzie from Season 12 has been recreating the technicals each week over on Tik-Tok. It took her 2 hours to make this one with her being able to research and plan before starting.
  10. Also not a lawyer, but my understanding of NDAs is that there are clear terms spelled out in them--what you cannot disclose, who you cannot disclose to, how long of a period of time these rules are to be in effect, and what would happen if you broke these terms. It's not a blanket non-disclosure of every single detail for the rest of your natural life. I do not doubt that JB has made his adult children believe this to be the case, but if one of them did talk JB may not have any legal grounds to stand on. And, any competent lawyer would be able to advise one of the Duggar kidaults about this.
  11. A single lane roundabout is easy to navigate, a double lane on OTOH is a nightmare. I used to have to navigate one of those when I lived in Ohio, and it was decidedly not fun. The other drivers would never let you over, and I had to do a Clark Griswold and travel around the circle more than once whilst traversing it. I will never understand drivers who consider a turn signal an insult and refuse to let someone into a lane in situations like this.
  12. The company that does my nightguard subscription does something similar. I figured out how this happens--the company bases the date for my reorder on the date the previous order was placed. The date you received the order does not factor into this. So depending on how long it took for your vitamin company to package and ship the order, and how long it took for you to get the order once shipped, it does appear to you that they send the next order early, but not to them.
  13. I'm always down for garlic mashed potatoes, but the browned butter seems like an unnecessary step. Browned butter in the sauce that goes on top of the mashed potatoes, yes, but in them feels like a waste of time.
  14. On my Samsung phone, I place the side of my hand across the whole screen and swipe left to capture a screenshot.
  15. My grandmother grew up Presbyterian before converting to Catholicism as an adult. When the Jehovah Witnesses came calling she would invite them in, give them a cup of coffee, light up a cigarette, and start preaching to them. She did it enough that the JWs stopped showing up at her door. I like to drop a line from Major League--"Jesus, I like him very much. But he no help with curveball."
  16. There's not enough info here to really give an opinion to the allegations, but the production's response is not a good look in 2023. Calling a woman's allegations "wild, hysterical and imaginary" is not doing what you think it is. None of those adjectives are necessary.
  17. I laugh, but am not surprised by that. So many counties across the US did the absolute least when it comes to keeping records. From fires to floods to just not giving a shit, there are a lot of lost marriage licenses, divorce decrees, and birth certificates.
  18. Her delivery of that line just makes it. She makes wearing a blue leisure suit seem just as heinous as kidnapping.
  19. Did Plexus sell out an entire cruise ship, or are there other passengers on board?
  20. Thanks. I'll confess to not keeping up on all the details with the various Duggars. But, the Dillards' watching movies on a laptop and not a TV will live in my head for awhile. I honestly do not get choosing to watch stuff on a laptop when TVs are cheap and smart, so are projectors if you must eschew a TV for reasons.
  21. Jill has been with Derick for the better part of a decade. I'm sure he has shown her all his favorite movies and TV shows on the laptop cuddled up together on the couch. I'm sure he's also stopped and explained all the finer points. I do wonder if the Dillards ever got around in their new house to set up a real TV for family movie night. Or are they still using the old laptop.
  22. He's in a few of the Vacation movies--the original Vacation, and Vegas Vacation. But, his Christmas role is the iconic one, and the one I assume Derick dressed as on Tuesday.. I have no desire to look it up. All that costume requires is the hat and a bathrobe. I prefer Cousin Eddie's other costumes from Christmas Vacation--the green dickie under his white V-neck sweater always cracks me up. So does is blue leisure suit with butterfly shirt.
  23. A character in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
  24. A passport is not a requirement on some cruise lines leaving from the US. Because you leave and return in the US, you do not necessarily need one though a passport is recommended. And, you can still visit the various foreign ports without a passport. A birth certificate works on both Disney and Carnival.
  25. And now we will lose out on her diatribe when the ship persecutes her by kicking her out of the pool for wearing street clothes.
