It's sad that she is so outlandish sometimes, we believe her look today is normal. She is still wearing 10 pounds of make-up.

"RIght now" drives me nuts! Dr. Now says it often. I wonder if he is actually the one writing the script! Right now, I also hate the word "because". Everything doesn't need a because. Just try starting a new freakin' sentence. Periods followed by articles of the "the" persuasion, is a great thing. I am also partial to gerund phrases....anything, ANYTHING, but because.

When I say child, I really mean 17yo at college. We didn't have/eat sugar cereal growing up (Cheerios, Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies and Raisin Bran...I now know that is was abuse ;)). So, when I got to UM and found CB, Apple Jacks and Corn Pops, I was in heaven. I ate cereal three times a day...everyday!!

Ikr! I try to eat more refined to combat it. :)

I will save some for you!

Ha! Yes, enough for everyone. I rationalize my childhood-loving eating habit by eating from an incredibly small bowl!

Late to the party...but here I am! Eating habit, not so good. A bowl of Crunch Berries (hanging my head in shame).

That's for sure!

We haven't yet! Glad to meet you Aliya! Thank you! I have to go ... By the way, the dinner is for MY DAUGHTER! I will see my way out now. Yikes

The shell?...Yay-ah! wth

Thought it would be more than 5 pounds...come on Clarence!

Is it bad that I am considering NOT going to a family member's birthday dinner so I can continue to watching with you guys?!?!?! UGH!

Go Blue! Wolverines in the house!!

Late, but made it. This looks interesting. .. They way she is saying "yeah" is a verbal eye roll. Yikes!

Don't forget the obligatory grocery store scene! I don't do ANYTHING at all, but I will muster up enough energy to leave the house for one thing....Grocery shopping, because if I don't go, they won't buy what I want! Cue: horrible stares, rude comments, bumping into displays. Then: "I am so HUMILIATED" and tears...so many tears....but I will see you to do this all over again next week. Grrr...

We started ordering extra cheese after about the third time a pizza arrived missing cheese on half of it (I am talking about you, Pizza Hut). Extra cheese = cheese over the entire pizza, like the days of yore!

I am finally home in time to hang out with you live, and this is so boring. Grrrr...

Late to the party. First time watching live. In before the lock! :)

Thank you, Kohola3 and SweePea59, for providing some context!

Me, too, It seemed so random to be thrown in while on the phone with him. I don't recall hearing any of the other midwives (or Crane for that matter) describe a patient demographically or characteristically (fat, poor, young, abused, Irish, unwed, prostitute, etc.) on the phone when looking someone up. I was sure that it was included to be addressed at some point, especially when the husband abruptly stopped talking for the rest of the conversation. I actually wondered if a scene had been cut. Felt very weird and out of place to me.

The editing/script/directing (?) seemed really odd to me when Nurse Crane took the call from the deaf woman's (June) husband regarding her false labor. It seemed unnecessarily crass for Crane to state June was deaf ...and dumb to her husband on the phone. There was a pause and subsequent silence from him as Crane rattled off some other words (blah, blah, blah). Later when Trixie was at the house and June started crying, I thought it was because of what Crane said, but it was never addressed. Maybe my 2015 sensibilities are ill placed in the 1960s ;), but it seemed like that comment would have some type of follow up. Perhaps the comment was added to give another example of Crane's vascilating empathy/lack of empathy skills?
