  1. I knew when this episode started that it wasn't going to have a happy ending. It is frightening what mental illness can do to a person. Judy's issues were so severe there was no way that she could have been helped in three days. OCD, germaphobia, hoarding disorder, not to mention the mobility problems linked to her circulatory issues. I certainly hope that things get better for Judy. A lot of times I watch this show and think these people are just being jerks, but Judy is very clearly suffering from deep-seeded mental problems. I hope one day she gets the care that she needs.

    The cheapness of this commercial is killing me!  In the end, is Grandma riding a skateboard or a hand towel?

    Because of this commercial, I now randomly go around saying, "It's mah knees!" My coworkers LOVE me!

  3. I saw this movie on Friday and I'm still walking around saying, "It was so good...it was so good." What a relief! I had convinced myself that it was going to be "Attack of the Clones" level horrible, but I was pleasantly surprised. I also thought that I'd be so happy to see the trio of heroes from my childhood that I'd be resentful of the newcomers' time on the screen. Well, they were pretty terrific as well! Especially Daisy Ridley as Rey. What a find she is.

     

    Halfway though I did, however, start to wonder where Luke was. Even though his time was limited, Mark Hamill did some of his best acting ever and he didn't even say a word. The way he looked at Rey ... his eyes held such sadness.

  4. Nope, it's not just you, WescottF1. Now that I think of it, the songs are strikingly similar.

     

    Funny story about one-day-only sales. My mother and I were having lunch at Dead Lobster adjacent to a mall shortly before Christmas one year. Judging by the number of cars in the parking lot, we feared there would be a long wait for a table, but we were almost immediately seated. When my mother expressed surprise that the restaurant was so empty when the parking lot was so full, our server said, "Oh, this is Day 465 of JC Penney's one-day-only sale."

    Sorry if it's been discussed.  Scrubbing Bubbles, the stray dog.   Thankfully there is enough lead time before the mom opens the bathroom door for me to make a hasty exit.

    Zaldamo Wilder (love your name!), that commercial has been disturbing me for some time now. What exactly was on that dog? Was it dipped in gravy?

     

    There's an ad now for an Alzheimer's drug called Namzeric. The first time I heard it, I thought, "Why name a prescription drug after the keyboard player from The Doors?"

    Yeah, I've never got a car for Christmas! *sniff*

    Did you get a puppy when your father brought home a new car for himself? Because the car may have been originally intended for you. ;)

     

    Because we were treated to Black Friday commercials all through November, I would not be a bit surprised if we see ads for after Christmas sales show up around Dec. 15.

  7. At some point are we going to find out that Carol is originally from Krypton? After being struck by a speeding vehicle she just took a little nap and she was just fine. Morgan's body slam was pitiful in comparison.

     

    This episode was a let down. Lots of action, but lots of characters taking actions that they shouldn't have taken. Walkers taking over and Carol and Morgan decide to have it out. Rick leaving Judith with an infected person about to turn. Carl and Porchdick Jr. having a rumble in the garage. Are these people secretly snacking on lead paint chips?

     

    All this and Supercuts bemoaned the loss of her sculpture.

     

    And I always thought "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" was creepy because Tiny Tim sang it. Turns out, its got a creepy factor all on its on. Now to find some brain bleach to get that song the hell out of my head.

    Sweet Lord, it's flu season, so we have the Tamiflu commercial back, but this year instead of a Gulliver's Travel's man, we have a woman.  I hate those stupid commercials.  In this one, the woman walks like she's got a pants full of crap in her PJ's

    I keep thinking she's the mother of the Nationwide crying baby.

    Just saw an ad for the "Amope Pedi-Perfect with diamond crystals", a foot-callus sander. Who are these people who need diamonds to sand their calluses? Does Aunt Edna really have calluses that are higher than 9 on the Mohs hardness scale?

        

    I sense a new partnership between Nature Valley and Amope Pedi Perfect!!

    And Kay Jewelers!

  10. Maybe Glenn and Enid can inflate enough balloons to make a house take flight like in "Up.". Preferably the pantry/weapons depot. This scenario is more plausible than Glenn's escape from the walkers. But I'm really glad he survived.

  11. Who were the shrink-wrapped people in the burned-out greenhouse and how did Tina know them?

     

    I thought the most interesting scene was the one in which the walker soldier slipped off his moorings and left the rocket launcher that Abe had been trying to get from him. It's almost like he did that on purpose.

     

    Please, Daryl Dixon, stop being stupid, OK? I like to think that he just wants to believe there are decent people left in the world, but he really should have never turned his back to those grimy extras from an old Spin Doctors video.

    When I saw the Walmart commercial for the first time and saw Ree's generic family, I automatically thought her cowboys and cowgirls were replaced by pod people.

    If they're not already pod people. I've always found this family to be very odd. Sometimes I can't decide if Ladd is just really tired or totally stoned, and the kids just don't seem real at all.

     

    I watched the show about her reunion with the WOW girls -- a group of female investors Ree used to pal around with before she found herself in the middle of nowhere. She made blackberry margaritas -- which she added sugar to for fear that they wouldn't be sweet enough. She poured them before the guests arrived. Because everyone loves overly sweet watery cocktails that taste like an old Woolworths candy counter! For the menu she went with Tex-Mex because she's Ree Freakin' Drummond.

     

    At least the phrase bull castration was not used in this episode.

    It used to "not be Christmas until...

    The Time-Life "Treasury of Christmas" ads started airing.

     

    The Walmart Christmas ads are not inspiring me to go Christmas shopping. No, I am desperately trying to figure out a way to build a time machine so that I can travel back to the early 1960s and keep Sam Walton from ever opening a Walmart!

    There's this new ad that I was going to post under the "head scratchers" forum but it has since pissed me off. It's for some sort of Ebay knockoff called LetItGo (DAMN YOU, FROZEN!) with people desperately clutching onto a prized possession of theirs. In the first one, it was a bowling ball while hanging on for dear life over a cliff with his second hand, now there's a second person losing a game of  tug-of-war with an alligator over a sleeping bag. I think there's a third but I've blocked it from my memory. Is this site for hoarders? Where did the buyer suddenly appear from? Why do they want these items? Argh, it just pisses me off.

    These commercials are for a smartphone app called letgo and yes, the commercials are horrible! One involves a woman stubbornly sitting on her bed staring at a pair of red hooker heels in her closet while her house is going up in flames. Meanwhile, there's also a living cat sitting on her bed.
