I kept waiting for someone to mention Thanksgiving dinners often involve others carrying in their special dishes. I'll be hosting 34 family members tomorrow. Most have their specialties down to an art form. I provide a couple of turkeys, a spiral ham, persimmon pudding, rolls, drinks, and some odds and ends. And I keep containers ready because I'm as eager as anyone to have some leftovers to freeze. Also there is always someone (or more) who can't be out and about for Thanksgiving some some folks deliver to them. Surely it isn't that unusual.

Eleanor Roosevelt was deeply criticized for not playing a "womanly" role--writing a column, traveling the world during war time, taking political stands. Not playing a womanly role was a serious, serious insult at the time--practically unAmerican. And she was also called unAmerican for her expressed views. The irony was young men (especially wounded in hospitals) said her visits were the next thing to seeing their own mothers. Womanly in the real sense of the word.

Ah, yes, and totally understandable. America is about as pumped as it can be right now regardless of party.

A show with Charo always makes me happy. And I so enjoy "Into the Woods." The opening was slightly cringeworthy but it all worked together for me.

Jake Tapper trick or treating was fun. https://www.inquirer.com/entertainment/tv/abc-the-rookie-jake-tapper-nathan-fillion-phillies-jersey-mike-schmidt-20221030.html

I just had a flashback to Kate in Sarah Palin's Alaska.

Oh, I agree. It would be fascinating to see how mean she really is. I'm sure Bravo wouldn't want to go there.

Ellen would be fascinating with these women--beyond my imagination how it would go.

Thanks, I'd been looking in season 2

When can we see The Little Couple on Farmhouse Fixer. I think I've watched all of Season 2.

How do we know these details?

Oh, I do hope you are right.

I'm not understanding why Diana is a given to stay.

I agree this is probably true of Sunny, but I can't figure out why Alyssa would challenge her self concept.

I agree. I believe Andy will work to keep Garcelle happy. I think Diana and Crystal added so little, I'd think he'd at least reduce them to friend of. Kathy's takedown of Rinna and Erika was fun. I'd think he'd work a bit to keep her too if necessary. I'm betting Kyle, Rinna, and Sutton will remain also. For me, Erika is done. There's no good stuff to come.

They can repeat Chelsea Clinton as often as they like.

Is Sunny wearing a paper doll dress?

Yes, they made the point of showing Rinna had the folder and didn't show what was in it.

I see this, but how much of a threat can Rinna be? First, people doubt her words; and second, pretty much everybody has deduced Kyle's role in the taking down and attempted (unsuccessful)) taking down. I think if Kyle doesn't want to team up with Rinna, she just wouldn't.

In the yellow t-shirt photo, how did her boobs get so close to her chin?

You must really be ShelleySue, the Sleuth.

He is 50 now.

But Ana will be there.

I can barely count the number of my friends who did a psych undergrad.

I didn't see it as a continuation of The Rookie. I'm so confused.
