University of Phoenix strikes again! He says that his mother passed away in 2003 and he promised her that he would get a college education. Then he says he calls her house sometimes just to hear her voice. This is what I don't understand. Is her house being kept as a shrine in her memory? Is he maintaining her answering machine just so he can call it to hear her voice? I totally sympathize with him, though, as someone who lost her mother not too long ago.

Reminds me of the mother in "Little Miss Sunshine" who is feeding her family a bucket of chicken and encourages everyone to have a little salad too.

Yeah, I might start watching this show again on a regular basis because of this.

Hey, was Randall insinuating that "What's Happenin'!!" was a bad sitcom? Because he's wrong! #norogernorerunnorent This wasn't bad at all. I like the characters and the writing was good. I will probably tune in next week to see how things develop.

Ugh! I enjoy watching reruns of "Reba" (don't judge!) on TVLand on the weekends, but it's an almost painful experience because of TVLand's relentless promotion of its "original" programming. You could not force me at gunpoint to watch "Younger" or "Impastor." (Well, actually, you probably could, but that would be a stupid thing to force someone to do at gunpoint.)

I am beginning to wonder if there's some law on the books that says commercials for diabetes drugs must be uniformly awful. Because they certainly are. This one is a complete crapfest. The waitress who says "I work around the clock" really bugs. Around the clock? Is she striving for some Guiness World Record or something? Maybe in addition to waiting tables she's earning her degree in VCR repair from the Sally Struthers University. All of these people need to go away.

Seriously! She could make one of those Ree Drummond inspired wedge salads. They're so easy to make! You just chop a head of lettuce into fourths, add cayenne pepper, some thousand island dressing, a can of creamed corn, Worcestershire sauce, some fried onions, a handful of bacon bits, some jalapeno peppers, two ounces of Miracle Whip salad dressing, and a dash of paprika. Bon Appetite!

The Domino's ads about their new salads are so damn dumb. I'm not sure what they're charging for what they call salads, but I'm sure it's too much. And the lady who is ruining everyone's dinner plans because she wants a salad while they want pizza is eating mostly radishes. So why doesn't someone just say, "OK, eat your radish. We're getting pizza."

I have it stipulated in my last will and testament that when I die (and don't think I'm a nut) I don't want no fancy funeral, just one like Old King Tut.

Woo hoo! I'm next in line for a miracle! No cutsies!

It is ALWAYS going to be too soon to wear such a disgusting costume.

I'm not crazy about this trend of using super annoying siblings to sell cars. Remember the Dodge brothers from a while back? I will! And I'll bring friends! :)

There was a back-to-school ad than ran a bunch before Labor Day. One mother tells us that her daughter spent the summer binge-watching and now she'll be binge studying. Next a dad says his daughter writes mostly in emojis, but soon she'll be writing prize-winning essays. Then a woman says the only Spanish word her son knows is burrito, but soon he'll practically be qualified to be a translator at the UN (not the exact wording but close.) Hate to tell you, mom with the daughter holding the gynormous soda as she binge watches TV, but your daughter is basically a zombie now. And dad, your daughter's reliance on using emojis has made her forget how to write the English language so she probably won't be winning any prizes for her essays. And burrito boy mom, how can you expect great things from your almost grown son when he doesn't even know how to use a fucking napkin to wipe his stupid face?

"Worth It" by Fifth Harmony is never, ever going to go away, I'm afraid. Right now it's been used in ads for two different companies -- Light and Fit yogurt and PetSmart.

Or just spray a bunch of Febreze around and no one will know that you even have a cat! I saw pillows at a discount store that were Febreze scented. Is this what the world is coming to? In the future will skyscrapers be build with Febreze-infused bricks? After a while we're going to forget how stuff really smells. Maybe that's a good thing. Regarding Jennifer Aniston, I'm sure Dr. Boring Eyes (TM a brilliant mind at TWoP) is mighty mad she's got competition now.

Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Jennifer Aniston for Eyelove: https://www.ispot.tv/ad/ArMl/eyelove-dry-eyes-featuring-jennifer-aniston Since her film career has kind of fizzled, does she feel the need to endorse every product in sight? (No pun intended)

Ha! Aquarian1, did you post or lurk on the old "Little House" forum at TWoP? It was called Ma, Pa and that Mime Who Raped Sylvia.

Yep, that's what I hear too. Every time.

She looks possessed. Quick! Someone throw Holy Ranch Dressing on her before she starts speaking with Satan's voice!

When I was in sixth grade, our science class went on a field trip to the wastewater treatment plant (how fun!) and what I remember most is this vat of plastic tampon applicators that had been sorted out from the sewers. I have a septic tank now and it scares me. Actually, the Rid-X commercials with the guy getting a $6,000 bill for a backed up septic tank scare me. But someone told me I just need to have it pumped out every five years or so and I should have no problems. Also, I bought the Rid-X.

Regarding the cat litter/cat waste disposal conversation: I live in a house with seven cats because insanity runs in my family. Well, actually, I had two but then my girlfriend moved in with her five cats and that's the way we became the Crazy Cat Lady Bunch. We bought a house recently and we are determined for our guests not to make stank face when they walk in. There's a small screened-in porch on the back of the house that we're using for all the kitty needs. Litter pans are there, as well as their food bowls. We bought one of those giant plastic pans that are made for concrete mixing and let me tell you, they make excellent litter pans. Unlike other boxes, the clumps do not stick to the sides or to the bottom. And the cats seems happy with it. I haven't noticed any accidents outside the box yet.

Well, I guess I will be perusing the airwaves for alternative infotainment in the mornings. Billy Bush is too obnoxious to take in before 10 a.m.

I would like to thank the powers that be for including the song "Ballroom Blitz" in the marketing for the movie "Suicide Squad." Oh, wait, did I say thank? I mean run over with a tank. I used to like that song! But now that I hear it 50 times a day, not so much.

The episode where Ray and Debra are responsible for supplying a snack during a little league game has always bugged me because I totally concur that pretzels and warm Hawaiian punch were not acceptable. They couldn't even spring for a dollar store foam cooler to keep the beverage cold? Not all kids like pretzels, either.
