My daughter wandered in while I was watching and asked if Dr. Benton would be there soon. I'd sue. One of the nepo babies is the resident with the ankle alarm - she's Brad Dourif's daughter

I have had Zevia soda, but have never seen the ad before. It's strange that they made a throw away line about it "being clear" because I once poured myself a nice glass of their cola over ice and the fact that it was clear freaked me out. Drink it out of the can!

I doubt that Santos is calling Dr. Robby fruitcake as an insult, if only because he is her boss and could make her life very difficult. Maybe he confessed a love for fruitcake in the past, or handed one out as a Secret Santa gift. Let's wait and find out.

This is like the opposite of what this thread is for, but it's bugging me. I tune into a random episode of Holiday Baking Championship from a few years back (don't judge me). I swear one of the happy bakers is the current chef on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. He starts to talk and obviously isn't the same guy. But then the camera pans to another of the happy bakers, and it's Stacey Abrams! Obviously not but I'm briefly stunned. Guess I need new glasses.

It's not a "rule" but it's something to keep in mind. The host is supposed to indicate by his/her choice how much they are willing to pony up. Back in the '70s when you went to a really expensive or exclusive place to dine, the menus given to women or guests wouldn't include prices at all. Your host was just assumed to be willing to pay whatever it would amount to. As a guest, there was an unwritten assumption that you would not exceed the cost of the host's meal. You had to hope you were right. Thank god that died out.

Pet Peeves: Aka Things That Make You Go "Gah!"

As a single parent with two kids going to YMCA camps (multiple camps each), I once refused to fill out multiple copies of one of the registration forms. It was non-standard size so you had to fill it out by hand, and double sided. I filled out one for each child and told the Y to use their photo copier to make the rest. I was paying for these camps after all. I am apparently famous at the YMCA and not in a good way...but they always got in. -
If Glenn was so worried about them drinking, he should have gone himself. And taken Dianna because she's the least likely to be swayed by the guests into drinking - she just retreats. And he set the punishment before they left - two drinks only or no tip. Now he just needs to enforce it. You'd think Dianna and Danni would be cheering about getting 8 hours of sleep instead of bitching about someone else getting an extra hour. I've lived a lot of my life not getting 8 hours a night, buck up!

I'm already doing the same thing for the Library of Congress https://crowd.loc.gov I've been transcribing letters sent to Garfield after he was selected as the Republican candidate for president in 1880. There is always a selection of different "campaigns" to work on. Speaking of the show - I had no idea that Joy Behar was Italian. I've never seen a moment of The View, but I have heard her name and seen her face. She and Imperioli were fun guests.

I wish Wendy's would stop trying to make "Nuggs" happen. Like the Taco Bell in the footballers home.

Family Ties: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly

Hope you have your go bags packed and an idea of where to go if you have to get out. It looks dreadful. I've been bitching about all the rain we've had in Nor Cal but I'm glad to not be in your shoes. -
I doubt that's what he was watching. I wonder if Production gets input from him on what they're going to "show him watching?" It was eels and sharks and now a Telenovela.

Why Grammar Matters: A Place To Discuss Matters Of Grammar
meep.meep replied to candall's topic in Everything Else
It's terribly written. Most of California has a mediterranean climate and perhaps that's what the writer is referring to. The countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea have that kind of climate (temperate, wet winters, dry summers, low rainfall), but so do parts of Australia, South America, and South Africa. -

You mean like Fleabag? -
I just finished this - great Christmas spy drama. I'm developing a love for Kathryn Hunter who played Lenny - she's one of those actors (like Whishaw) who never goes wrong. She played Karn's mother in Andor and the brothel keeper in Poor Things. Appreciated that the American spy went into battle in a baseball cap, hoodie, and long woolen coat. And wasn't Kiera Knightly's big yellow scarf just screaming "look at me!" in every scene?

S14.E12: The Great New Year's Bake Off

Allison not understanding Andy saying "bake" was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Glad Juergen got to play. How could he forget to turn on the oven?
