Definitely! Any version of Runway is a 16 minute show for me.

I think that might have been real alcohol! It pains me to defend Trump, but as I recall, a lot of those tweets were made before he was president. They were still immature and ridiculous, but just the ramblings of a private citizen.

Could I love the Trevor/Roy TV bromance any more? I do not think so. Trevor's impressions continue to crack me up. His Trump is good but I hope he still has occasion to slip into Obama-speak every now and then. He and Desi were awesome dissecting Ivanka's clothing line. The handbag is NOT waterproof!

How could they never have seen that challenge on the show before? I've always liked Shirley but her adorable wedding picture and chauffeuring-to-work husband pushed me over into love. I'm not exactly fussed when contestants continually cook from their heritage; they all pretty much recreate or modify dishes they make at their restaurants anyway, but I do really appreciate it when they try something creative they've never done before or widen their scope in another way. Sheldon, for example, has said he thinks straying from his roots got him eliminated before, but as a viewer I'd like to see him turn out a classic French dish, or Mexican, just for the variety.

I enjoyed it but yeah, a little on the disposable side. I liked that Gideon had a personal/emotional motivation and not just his ego or simple tech nerdiness. Murphy strikes me as being a little young to be the all-knowing vet, but I can let that go as long as she doesn't start Mary Sue'ing it up on the regular. This was a lot more fun for me than the new 24 show.

I loved that! The shampoo itself wasn't a stand out but the scent kept me coming back for years. Ah, the teenage years when boys really do smell a girl's hair. ;) I kind of miss the old Parke-Davis throat "discs". They contained a smidge of chloroform so were later discontinued. They were flavored with licorice and my sister and I used to eat 10-12 of them at a time. Like Marie Barone and the Sucrets, my mother took to hiding them.

Oh hell naw. I can't sit through this. But then, I have an extremely low tolerance for dream states, hallucinations, and trippy flashbacks in general.

And OF COURSE it was in German! Made me giggle. Not that I'm an accent expert, but I totally bought Inbar Lavi being French. The Internet tells me she was born in Israel and moved to NY at 17; she doesn't have a noticeable accent on a couple of talk show videos. I'm looking forward to seeing the two older imposters at work. I also liked how Maddie (are we calling her that?) was all "ew" about her new target because, realistic. I'd prefer the hot coffee shop guy, too!

Bummer. I finally gave in and reduced my cable TV package to the minimum basic, losing Nat Geo Wild in the process. I still get Animal Planet but it wasn't worth the extra $40/month for the deluxe channels. I'm counting on you guys to keep me informed about Doctors K, Pol, Oakley, and all the Animal ER and Vet School wienies!!

There was maybe a little too much junior high jinx and throwing crap trying to break a window. I wondered if the desk falling apart was on purpose -- if not, the actors stayed in character really well. The relationship between Sam and Tim was the best part of the show for me. So it wasn't an automatic no. I'll see how it goes.

Yes! And then Pat trying it but the mug didn't break on the carpet. I don't know why VP Murray couldn't have just told Pat and Eileen the same lie, but I guess there wouldn't have been a plot otherwise. I like the exes comfortable and relaxed interplay with each other, but the two of them scheming together was even better.

Oooh! They should totally do some interstitial/wraparound bits before and after commercials. Also, what do we call them? They've been referred to as models, performers, actors, and dancers that I remember. I prefer actors, because the best ones bring a lot of (silent) emotion to the characters.

Not sure what I expected but it was surprisingly good. Stretching the definition of "comedy", black or otherwise, to the limit, however.

Seemed like some of the focus group panelists were perhaps more beguiled by the costuming than the makeup. I had to move my ancient, decrepit fingers around the keyboard to look up Monster High, but yeah, I'd totally buy that plant. I'd be tempted to poke a bit of fun at adult superfans of teenage girl dolls except my collection of Simpsons interactive figures and playsets would disapprove.

Aw, man. I had a crush on Hatch from All My Children, for goodness sake. Phil and Tara 4eva!

And here I grew up in the era of waxed paper for sandwiches! That shit never stayed wrapped. You put the sandwich at the bottom of the bag, flaps down, added your piece of fruit on top to weigh it in place, then your bag of chips. Are bags of chips disallowed at schools now, too?

Pfft. I was being flippant. It amuses me when people are peeved by something I do. I am usually able to totally justify the bad behavior in my mind! :)

Eh, different peeve so new post. I was fortunate enough to be able to get Obamacare for 10 months last year until Medicare kicked in. My only projected income was Social Security, which qualified me for about $500 a month worth of subsidies on the Obamacare premium. Later, I unexpectedly started working part time as a consultant for my old company. I was careful not to exceed the maximum amount of earned income under Social Security and started making quarterly estimated tax payments. Then in August the company was sold which initiated some stock options and a big surprise bonus. I started my taxes last night and, oh shit. I'm going to have to repay a large portion of my Obamacare subsidy. I just hope there aren't significant penalties as well. I DIDN'T KNOW I'D BE MAKING EXTRA INCOME WHEN I SIGNED UP! It also didn't occur to me to notify the Marketplace folks when that changed. It's my own fault but makes me sigh to have to turn such a large chunk of my bonus over to any .gov wienies.

Ugh, sorry! I am that able-bodied adult. I go to my sister's house for every holiday. It's usually only the three of us but she's very particular about everything and even wants the dishwasher loaded in a specific way. It's a small 8'x 8' kitchen and I'd be more trouble than help. I'd normally bring wine or something but she always has the stuff she likes on hand. Her husband and I sit around like slugs while she does everything. I am fascinated by the world of young children, mommy blogs, healthy snacks, school rules, and playdates these days. It never ends, does it?

My experience with pot lucks are exclusively at work, but I will go seriously out of my way to avoid them, even taking a vacation day when one is scheduled. I mean, what's the attraction: I'm not a good cook so my offerings will be store bought, making me feel inadequate I'm a picky eater and afraid of offending someone by not liking/finishing their unidentifiable food It's a pain in the ass to keep food warm and/or cool as needed in the office lunch room There will probably be eight different desserts and no main courses Schlepping a large serving of food into an office, then eating on paper plates with plastic utensils Overflowing office trashcans Somehow I'm always the one who cleans up afterwards The last time I hosted a gathering at my house, it was a brunch for 8 women friends and I ordered so much (catered) food that it became the joke of the party. I'm terrified at the thought of not having enough!

This is my cry to the unheeding universe of old TV shows, but I recently started watching Crossing Jordan and Jill Hennessey has got to be one of the most annoying lead characters ever. I assume the show was popular since it ran for six damned years and had pretty good ratings, but Dr. Cavanaugh is extraordinarily selfish, stubborn, unkind, and bad at her job to boot. Hennessey also saw fit to give her a groaningly fake "tough" Boston accent. The other lead, Miguel Ferrer's character is such a consistent and complete sad sack that it has become laughable. I apologize for lambasting the recently deceased (and most of it was probably due to the director and script), but jeez. His expressions are sad and weary, sad and slightly quizzical, sad and irritated, sad and confused, sad and tired. He's even been sad and horny. I'm only on season 2 so maybe things get better, but I'm not optimistic.

So glad to see Dr. Jeff back to his normal self! His bad knees never stopped him and cancer didn't, either. The new clinic is so nice and I love the doggie mural outside. Goodness, poor fat cat Auren with the two previous abdominal surgeries. Stop eating inedible things! Now for the judgy portion of our program: Chaotic dog fight and running into the road = off leash. Maybe the owner dropped her leash at some point but it sounded like neither dog was properly controlled. Neptune the parvo dog not getting her full vaccinations. The owners obviously adored her, so come on. They've learned the hard way and hopefully some viewers are now more aware. I continue to be amazed that so many animals with crushed bones and other very painful injuries are so quiet and accepting of human interference. Just the thought of a wallaby jumping, crashing and peeing all around the house made me anxious. The Wild Animal Sanctuary has tours, if anyone lives close. Fifty-five tigers, 73 lions, and over 150 bears! The website has rescue stories, which I foolishly read and soured my day.

The fact that she has to continually explain herself is really sad to me since everything the poor woman does is scrutinized and criticized. Her kids' tattoos, for crissake? I hadn't heard about a lawsuit. Is it this one for a rape charge against one of the workers? Damn. VRC is a no-kill shelter, not an unlimited one. Tia was practically in tears at the thought of their new rescue possibly being pregnant. Every shelter has limits, even huge ones like Best Friends in Utah. But turning away people who try to drop off their animals or not rescuing the ones roaming the streets means those animals would likely be condemned to more suffering and death, which we know Tia couldn't bear. The entire situation is horrible.

It's so fun! It's been 31 years now and I still have a very clear memory of my then two-year-old godson looking out his front window, seeing me walk up the driveway, and jumping up and down and shouting with happiness. His dad came over to see what the ruckus was -- it was either me or possibly he saw a squirrel.

I wanted to see Raj's fat lady hookup! In my head he dated her for a few months before she dumped him. Most of these were aborted relationships, but Raj could maybe have learned something from Lalita Gupta, Dr. Plimpton, Cheryl from Penny's Halloween party, Abby (Danica McKellar), the cleaning lady at work, and don't forget Siri!
