I borrowed one of Rose's lines from the Druid priests/Shriners looking for a good time story ("you're not going to believe this"). Plus she told a few stories about people leaving/being run out of town so I was hoping mine would fit her character. :-) Mostly I just wanted to make a joke that Minnesota was icy and cold during spring.

Nice news for Josh. He can sing, too. "Ambulance, ambulance, where oh where is my ambulance..."

F is for Fargo, Rose's favorite movie because it reminds her of Springtime in St. Olaf. But only the snow and ice, not the murders. Except it does kinda remind her of St. Olaf's only serial killer, Anders Von Andersen. Neighbors would see his car parked outside homes and then the residents would disappear, never to be seen again. Finally, the sheriff went to question Anders, and -- you're not going to believe this -- turns out he wasn't a serial killer after all! He'd just gotten his travel agent's license and was helping people move to Miami, even volunteering to drive them to the airport in St. Gustav. Everyone sure did have a good laugh once they unstrapped Anders from the electric chair. He moved shortly afterwards, though.

I thought Halloween was Adam's holiday with Pops? Adam had his Rubik's Cube costume and Pops' was a Ghostbuster, and they went through the whole separation anxiety then. I liked the episode though, don't get me wrong. :-)

Ontario to Azores: The "space for a goat" drama was so unrealistic even I knew it'd be the must-have that got left out. (Who'd care for it the 40+ weeks a year they were in Canada, I asked myself. Lol, look at me. I'm Columbo.)

I work in an open office environment and listen to Neftlix a lot (yep, listen). Today I happened to have the browser up on my screen and saw that Shaun did indeed name the fossil "Zippy the Dinosaur." LOL. I hadn't seen it before.

For those of you who remember that cheating bitch Danielle "My fiancé is the only man I've been faithful to" Rothweiler, she was the event planner for a wedding on Vanderpump Rules. Things did not go well, lol. Here's the bride's blog post on Bravo, http://www.bravotv.com/vanderpump-rules/season-3/blogs/scheana-marie/scheana-it-ended-up-being-a-perfect-night. The episode aired in February (ep 16) and there's some discussion about her in the Vanderpump Rules thread though no one recognized her from Four Weddings.

S is for the San Gennaro Festival where Dorothy was conceived. Or it could be for the sausage and pepper stand that she was conceived behind. (Maybe Sophia should've waited until Dorothy was 70 to share that tidbit.)

It was, indeed. Episode was just on, and I didn't like them at all. They looked at a few houses, and now they're experts on style and class. (The kitchen with granite and SS needed updating. A bathroom with wallpaper needed "work.") More idjits who look at decorative elements rather than the space and use the word "I" when it's "me." I thought their Super Room was awful. There was barely enough space for him (he? /snark) and the baby to play on the floor. Multi-color panels conflicting with the TV; multi-color cheap tin in the drop ceiling. The bench wasn't large enough to sit on and relax, and I'd love to know how often they use that sauna. It didn't seem big enough to relax in, either.

I can't find an Island Hunters thread, and I'm sorry if this should go in a different place. They're now showing people looking for short-term, one-time vacation spots instead of places to buy or rent. The couple tonight was, ostensibly, looking for a private island in Georgia for a 7-night stay. These people had complaints you'd hear if they were buying the place (8' ceilings, bathroom not on the loft level, too many stairs) rather than spending a week. HGTV should put the show on hold if they've run out of islands or people to buy them.

I'm betting JM doesn't show up. Maybe it'll sink in to JM and the Kings that this show is much better as an ensemble than a star vehicle. So glad to see some new, well-deserved names on the list, too!

D is for the Depression and the $$ Sophia would have earned by taxi dancing while Sal was stationed in the attic.

Good grief that house was ugly when she got finished. I flashed forward to when they sell it and the potential buyers complaining about having to paint everything. I have no design talent, either, but at least I know it. White walls, now and forever!

I would've snatched-up that land/house/deck so fast. She seemed like she was running away from her life on the mainland and thought being nomadic and off-the-grid would fix her problems. I hope it worked out for her, but you know the saying, "Wherever you go, there you are."

Why aren't the costs of refurbishing the items deducted from the profits? They're adding materials and using skilled craftsmen -- and I'm not talking about basic items like paint. For example, the stockbrokers bought the vases for $30 (I think) but had the glass drilled professionally and then added new lampshades, new lucite bases, electrical wiring and lightbulbs. They sold for $100, but you can't count $70 as "profit."

She's such a bad match for this show. What value does a celebrity gossiper add? The fact that she knows how to use that delivery voice and cadence that every celebrity gossiper uses? Hire someone who can do more than point to an iPad where a PA found a similar item on eBay.

Really disliked the couple who bought the house with city-to-ocean views in Mazatlan. He reminded me of the angry foot-stomper on Flipping Vegas. "I sold my Grandmother's house so I deserve everything I want and I'm not going to compromise on anything!" Oh, I didn't realize real estate worked like that. And did she think she was being funny telling him that he needed to walk up all those stairs? How passively aggressively humorous! You're fat and out of shape! Lol ha ha ha. Neither of them is a spring chicken, and those stairs will be a major drawback to enjoying the area now and living in the house as they age. I guess "not having stairs" will be on his next "I DESERVE TO NOT HAVE TO COMPROMISE" list.

I thought is was because all the guards quit. Lots of questions from me, too. How does Piper think she can continue her business now? No way Stella doesn't give her up. And how is it the CO's knew about the naked photos of Litchfield prisoners being online but they (and the underwear company whose material and trademark are being misappropriated) haven't found the retail site? Boo and Tucky were my favorite part of the season, and I loved that the writers changed Tucky's character from nutso religious freak to run of the mill scammer. Glad Bennett rabbited, though too bad it wasn't before two of God's stupider people procreated. I wonder if Pornstache's mother will get the baby now that it's a ward of the state. We didn't see if Daya named a father on the birth certificate, but he'd have to be on record as such because of his trial, I'd think. Will Daya have any input into where her baby goes? Meaning, she can tell the state she'd rather have the baby in foster care rather than go to Grandma in Greenwich? And with McGorry working on a different show, do the writers even have the option of having Daya name Bennett as the father, unless the storyline plays out off camera? I guess I'll be watching season 4. lol

Count me in on liking the Fairfield couple. I laughed when the husband said the best part about the boys' basement video room was the door they could shut so the parents wouldn't have to listen to it. What? Someone who can light-heartedly admit his children aren't precious precious angels who aren't the slightest bit annoying ever? That house, though. Wow. Tear it down, reclaim whatever original wood you can for non-structural elements like built-in shelves or cabinets and tables. They'd be saving some of its authenticity while not having to rebuild a house where nothing is to code and it is "literally crumbling into dust."

But it had charm dang it! Lol. Was there any dialogue other than her saying "oh wow" every time they entered a new room and him declaring whether something did or did not have charm?Speaking about one note Hunters: Did you know the couple moving to Sweden has "small children"? They don't have kids or toddlers or anything like that. They have small children.

R is for Rodeo Drive where Blanche would buy dresses she couldn't afford.

I really enjoy this show and am waiting for season 2 to be released on Netflix. C'mon already! Billy steals every scene. I watched season 1 last week and still have his "Ambulance" song in my head. So damn cute.

W is for all those weddings where all those brides wear the Viking garb.

N is for waiting until your wedding night to see a grown man naked.

I missed the first 15 minutes. Was the Alicia/Kalinda scene then? The one at the end of the show seemed like they were filmed separately (hard cuts when the speaker changed.)
