California to Costa Rica. I hated the wife with the fire of a thousand nuns. (TWOP!) And no, I do not want to be in your presence to receive your energy (her words) because you are a complete twit. (“I honor the wish list, not the budget.”). There was that moment when the husband wondered “what if we need a pharmacy?” but otherwise there was no consideration of their children and what it would mean to them to be so isolated. Finally, both parents were riding in the car without seat belts. I guess they are fine with being dead or brain damaged for their children. Wear your fxxking seatbelt! Yes, even if you’re being filmed.

When she said she was approaching 30 my jaw dropped. Mid 40’s for sure.

The Sterling K. Brown episode was terrific! And I'm happy he was so generous (unlike that cheapskate Ray Romano, whose episode still irritates me.)

Me too. Mayim was great and the whole backyard makeover was wonderful.

I'm glad Fran Drescher and Mayim Bialik were more generous to their long-time employees/friend than Ray Romano.

Remodeling a small bath and small bedroom was such a stingy reward for 20+ years of service. What about giving her a few hundred thousand for her retirement fund (etc)?

Yes, I gasped when he put cheese on the raw side of the burger. Is the restaurant a money laundering enterprise? It can’t be legit can it?

I was talking about Josh. 😊 My next sentence was “And especially if he relegates you to the edges of his life.” ( Emphasis supplied) At first I was so judgmental. How dare they relegate their three children to one room! But now I understand that the children want to cocoon. The whole family is very sweet.

It’s always a mistake till have a child with a child. (And especially if he relegates you to the edges of his life.) Are they married? If so, they’ll be divorced in three years.

Dear Maggie: Your three adult children may or may not visit. But it’s at least 90% that they will not visit at the same time. If I were her adult child I would visit . . . infrequently.

I don’t know who Duhamel is, but he comes across as a complete twatwaffle. And Sara Foster is crazy. Meanwhile, I love Jeff, both his design aesthetic and his snark, and I’m so glad he’s back.

Agree that her parents didn’t seem thrilled at her moving to Maratea . And I was surprised they didn’t offer their summer home. She looked older than 40. Her mother looked fantastic! As noted above by @Chit Chat she is in for a lot of work/money with the damp problem. And the lack of central heating.

I loved this couple and found them both brave and generous to adopt three children out of foster care. I hope their family flourishes.

Auckland! My university sent me there for a conference and then I took the bus around the coast to Ninety Mile beach where I stayed for a few days. I’ve lived in/visited a LOT of beautiful places but that coast—ocean/tropical vegetation/mountains—is unforgettable. I was ready to immigrate after 24 hours but was too old (51). But I did keep something of the vitality of New Zealand in my life and work.

Seriously. Or put a trundle bed in the other room and used this room as a playroom. Both parents seemed like they just acquired the children yesterday and had no clue how to manage them.
