Like Ethel Thayer in "On Golden Pond." "It sounds like I'm lisping, doesn't it?" I imagine it was hell all around for everyone in this family. Teretha has to be beyond miserable sitting in that bed day after day. How does one get used to not being able to get up? I have a friend who has ALS and can't move any part of her body now and she was very active before she got that terrible disease. I hope she doesn't watch this show because it would probably make her very angry to see someone who can move refuse to.

ByaNose, thank you for the link. I was watching tonight's show and wondering, "Don't these home owners have their own stuff?" Speaking of tonight's episode, a couple chose a house that Chip kept insisting looked like it could be blown down like the Three Little Pigs' house. (He mentioned this three times.) It was only $35,000 so the buyers had about 200 grand to sink into reno. The house was essentially rebuilt, not just down to the studs, but to the frame. It was a massive undertaking. The results were gorgeous, though. The Shiplapometer was off the charts in this episode. I think Joanna and Chip referred to shiplap about 2 dozen times. "Ooh, when we tear into these walls, just imagine all the shiplap!" One of the rooms that was redone was an office that Joanna thought needed an eye chart. I don't know how many times when I'm working late at night that I ask myself, "Am I getting more near-sighted? If ONLY I had an eye chart." (I don't know what the home owners did for a living. One of them could have been an optometrist.)

I remember seeing her make that seven-can soup the first time and thinking, "Hmm, if the doctor ever tells me I need 50,000 milligrams of sodium a day, this is what I'll make."

And the disgruntled looking husband with her is the same guy who gets kicked in the face by Peter Pan in that GEICO commercial that gets mixed reviews here.

The scene that brought me a lot of happiness was the one where Judith was playing with red cups again. (Seriously, show, don't let anything bad ever happen to this little girl.) Also, you know you're a true TWD fan when you hear a report on The Today show about how consumers should pay close attention to the use by dates on baby formula as they don't have a particularly long shelf life and your first thought is, "Oh, I hope Judith graduates to all solid foods soon!"

I have developed a fondness for this young man as well. We've watched him grow up and very fast. I think he's a very brave kid and I would hate to see anything horrible happen to him. I loved the scene with him and Judith at the beginning. He adores his baby sister. It's moments like this that I love. Back to this episode, I kept saying when Rick and Daryl left Jesus tied up by the side of the road. "Don't look in the review mirror, dudes. The Karma Police are out to get you." Loved Daryl's confusion about the word pop. I'm from the South and the first time I heard it called that I pretty much had the same reaction.

This episode needed two things: banjo music during the wild chase scenes and narration by Waylon Jennings.

Maybe it's the fact that "The Birds" traumatized me when I saw it as a young child, but I don't think this commercial is funny at all: http://www.ispot.tv/ad/AZPt/farmers-insurance-turkey-jerks-featuring-jk-simmons

Oh, that's when you visit countries where certain fungal infections are prevalent. Just be careful when you're in an international airport to heed the warning signs that say "Welcome! We have fungal infections!"

Wow, this really takes me back:

I'd never heard of Sunny Sea Gold before I saw her on commercials about Binge Eating Disorder or B.E.D. All I can think of when I hear the initials B.E.D. is Blanche Elizabeth Devereaux.

I'm almost thinking that she was either on Prednisone (which causes "moon face") or she had kidney issues.

I was a big "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" fan and was surprised to see Iyari Limon in this ad for Linzess. I never cared for her character very much, but I had the opportunity to meet her at a convention many years ago and I really liked her. http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7iS2/linzess-calm-the-raging-storm

They were actually gummy worms. Because kids like gross stuff. I couldn't help thinking what her kids' dental bills are like. Or their blood sugar levels. I'm not a fan of mint flavored ice cream, so that abomination she "made" had me gagging. She put some candy in store-bought vanilla ice cream, basically. She really puts the sage in Osage, doesn't she?

Does anyone know why Daryl cut a look at Glenn when he said that he had just gotten back to Alexandria? I really enjoyed this episode. I was sort of meh about the season so far but I thought this one really delivered on all fronts. When Daryl blew up the bikers, I wanted to crown him as the new king of the badasses. I kind of figured that Carl was going to lose his eye, but still when he turned around and said, "Dad," my heart fell. At first I thought he was walker meat until I realized it was Rick bending down to pick him up. Poor kid.

Maybe it's a Mackinaw peach. They're only good for two weeks.

... but not so much when it high-fives someone. You don't know where that hand has been!

Hey, WW is paying Oprah a lot of dough to talk about how she can eat bread! I watch a lot of nostalgia channels and they are famous for showing really cheaply made commercials. One is for some company that helps people with poor credit get better credit. It's on every commercial break. "So that you can get a new house, a new car, even a new job!" I think it's the announcer's voice that drives me batty, as well as the stock footage of people pulling their hair out as they're poring over their bills.

I really thought I was having a waking nightmare when I saw that. Who in their right mind thought that a mutation from The Island of Dr. Moreau would sell soda? The claymation intestines representation for Xifaxan is equally horrifying. Stop trying to make IBS cute! It's not working!

The Panera ads bother me to no end. Congratulations on serving clean food, Panera. I'm glad you guys aren't dropping your sandwiches on the floor before serving them. The newest one shows people enjoying their soup and sandwich combos. In one scene two women are wrapped up in duvets while eating their soup. I guess the heat is out in their apartment and the soup and the duvets are the only things keeping them from freezing to death? It's just dumb.

I thought the kitchen in last night's episode already looked nice. But people don't seem to like individual rooms anymore. It's like we're getting back to pioneer living in which everyone lives in one big room.

The ads for the latest Nicholas Sparks adaptation, "The Choice," are absolutely relentless. I think I have them all memorized now. "Come back and bother me!" How romantic!

Even worse -- "See Me, Feel Me" performed by Pomplamoose!

I keep expecting them to start singing "See Me, Feel Me" from "Tommy."

I can barely watch this show anymore and it's not because of the cooking. I am too distracted by her traffic cone colored tresses. Her hair just looks so fake. I've seen clown wigs that were more realistic than her hair.
