I loved that Paul was crying laughing during Prue’s holes/squirting soliloquy. I was crying laughing too.
I live in Boston (MA) and we just got a donut shop near work (Blackbird Donuts), which doesn’t have cronuts, but has a maple bacon donut that is *out of this world*. And their Boston Cream is excellent too. And now I have to avoid the store!

There was no theme to their decorating. I don’t think I liked anything about the house but, due to the area and the market, they were guaranteed to make a big profit.
How much do you want to bet that the buyer ripped out that primary bathroom and redid it?

If you follow them on instagram, they show more shots of the whole house.

Cabo…how old was this guy?? I’m from Foxboro, and we haven’t called it Foxboro Stadium in 20 years. It’s Gillette…or the Razor. She wasn’t all that young, her forehead was Botox central. There was something off putting about them as a pair.

What a gorgeous job they did on that house! In the neighborhood where I grew up, there were a lot of brick row houses like that one. It was fantastic to see it modernized, and I actually got teary eyed when Nate showed Anya the stamp album. They must still get things donated, there’s no way they did all that work for $90,000.

My dad’s cousin (born in 1935) was gay, and was out from the time he was 19. He worked as a bartender (in gay and straight bars), and I don’t remember any issues with anyone in the family. He had a long term boyfriend (before my time) that he’d bring to family parties. When they broke up, he never had another (he was in his late 40’s at that point), but he was always a favorite family member. I don’t think we were all that progressive, but maybe we were.
I loved this episode, I thought Sr MJ’s scenes were really moving, the new midwife is a good add to the cast, and I was so happy for Lucille!!

I hear you. I’m Dutch and everyone immediately goes to drugs and prostitutes.
Haha…my mind goes to height. I have a niece who is 6’2” and Dutch men are two inches taller than US men on average. We tell her to go to college in the Netherlands. :)

RE: Kevin. Mare says during her therapy session that he had been diagnosed with Tourette’s when he was a child, and reels off a list of medications that they had tried to control the tics. Tourette’s has high comorbidity with ADHD and depression, and sometimes patients self medicate in order to deal with everything…which is apparently what Kevin did.
Also, the camera focused on Drew’s eye blink tic (early sign of Tourette’s) at one point, so apparently Mare will have to deal with that in the future..

couldn't quite figure out why he was so passionate against Meg; even though she was tone deaf during their morning discussion, she was supporting him.
She was saying that a white man wearing Praajes’ (sp?) design would be cultural appropriation, which showed she didn’t understand cultural appropriation at all. She was an annoying jerk who wore dirty underwear as a *fashion* statement
The whole model thing was a train wreck. Just do a random draw and give them 15 minutes to try to convince someone to switch with them if they feel the need.

This is a new HGTV program which shows renovations of antique houses on the South Shore of Massachusetts. The team really does a beautiful job, and the bits and pieces of history about each house are really interesting.

Those high cabinets were a big fail, but the post in the middle of the room? There mustn’t be *any* inventory in Pomona.

Did anyone catch the NYC to Melbourne that was on earlier last night? The woman needed a bathtub because she did her work from there. Literally, she perched her laptop on the side of the tub and typed. And did Facetime calls. The boyfriend said she sometimes took five baths a day. I know a good psychiatrist she could talk to.

Nice./Monaco. They were a very reasonable couple, and the house they picked was fine. But oh, I would have paid anything to live in the first house with that glorious view of the sea.

I get what you're saying too, but it's just difference of viewpoint. I could understand Sr Julienne's frustration, when they had zero money and were handed another mouth to feed. It didn't seem to me that his idea of "helping" was helpful. If he couldn't chip in any money, he could have given of himself in a way that would have been useful.
I don't think it would have occurred to him that feeding him was an expense that they couldn't afford.

I felt bad for the curate…he was clearly just ordained, and waiting for his first posting and stuck in an attic. I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t have occurred to him to pitch in for room and board…priests get that for free (at least in the US Catholic Church). It wasn’t like Nonnatus was a boarding house. And then Sister MJ…I am so over her. Just die already.

So...do I have this right? Those runway gowns that cost thousands can actually be made in 30 minutes from leftover fabric?
That gold dress was the same fabric I used to use to make column dresses for my Barbies. Add a ruffle, and it's my design (which usually took me about 15 minutes). The fabric stretches a little so he basically made a tube top with a ruffle.

I agree about the sectional…and then that coffee table that looked sharp and pointy. I loved the red tile, and good for Nate for sticking with upper cabinets on that side. The open shelves (for once) didn’t bother me too much because there was the pantry cabinet and all those lower cabinets. I’m short, so I appreciate lower cabinet space!

Why? It’s just a fancy way of saying that you work remotely.

AML is still a really aggressive form of leukemia with a low 5 year survival rate…in the days before chemo it’s not unrealistic to think it could kill you in a month. I felt so bad for the dad…the actor did a great job.

I couldn’t believe the over improvers put those slick porcelain tiles on the floor and on the floor of the shower. Those were an accident waiting to happen.

It was pretty easy to tell which apartment she was going to pick when you saw the empty hooks for her “extensive bag collection” on the bedroom wall. She probably thought the Valentino shoes she was wearing were very Parisian, but you don’t see too many Parisian women wearing stilettos on the street…now if she had Stan Smiths on with her outfit, that would have Parisian. I so would have taken the first apartment, it was gorgeous.

I thought it was odd that the historical commission could dictate what was done on the inside of the house. Here in MA, I think they just care about the outside, as long as the appearance stays the same, you’re good. Again, useless kitchen, and no where to sit at a table.

So they were going to help house hunters find homes?
It sounded like they were going to help with the settling in part…immigration, how to set up utilities, etc. I’ve read David Liebowitz’ Paris book, and it sounds like there are a lot of differences there compared to the US, probably the same in every country.

there was a dishwasher and a wine fridge on the third floor, but was there a regular fridge? I would have done that instead of the wine fridge so that you could keep milk/cream for coffee up there. From the outside it looked like a triple decker like we have in Boston, but those are houses for three families, and there are streets with just those. I have been in a couple that were turned into one families, with the master suite on the top floor, and the owners say that traipsing up and down all those stairs gets old fast.

I thought last night’s house was beautiful, but I didn’t understand that closet…it looked like there was only about 3 feet of hanging space. I know they had to work with what was there, but it seemed impractical. And they still didn’t have a whole lot of storage in the kitchen, although it was beautiful.
One thing I noticed on this show is that they don’t give the budget, unless I missed it? I like Farmhouse Fixer (Jon Knight’s show), because at least they give realistic budgets, not like some of the other shows where they do the entire house for $50,000.
And for once the house wasn’t black, with all black and wood inside!
