Having a good laugh here, after the show the ABC affiliate in Salt Lake City is presenting "facts" and sound bites from the local Scientology center. One cult, with bated breath, interviewing another while wondering "what goes on behind closed doors." LOL

Now, see, that's what I thought I saw the first time I watched. Maybe a good 10-12 inches. Then on re-watch I must have glanced away for just a sec and missed seeing the clearance. I'm not so slick that I don't doubt my own perspectives sometimes, let alone someone else's. That's why I measured my dumpsters, which are otherwise exactly like the one on the show. For me, no In Memoriam = no death. I can't think of another time when a major character was MIA for In Memoriam. Like when the Emmys or the Oscars leave out a departed industry personage and people go ape shit? Nah, that didn't happen here.

I am stunned, with the traipsing all over the planet for medical care, that somewhere along the way Yo was not asked for and did not provide a complete medical history specifically including any/all prior surgeries. I am further stunned that all those providers saw "breast augmentation" with a date of surgery that far in the past and didn't pursue it, immediately. There is beaucoup documentation of various complications if implants leak when the surgery is recent, let alone when it is nearly ancient history. It just doesn't make sense.

That's part of what I enjoy about this, the differing perspectives. I was pretty sure the ground clearance I saw was about 8-10 inches. Then I ran outside and measured my dumpsters and, yep, 3 inches.

I am shocked. Shocked: Joe: Hillary won by TKO, altho her victory was perhaps merely theatrical - more will be known when all evidence is considered. Americans will say: if that's all you got ... why??? the investigation??? Joe: most telling moment? When Trey Gowdy couldn't come up with anything new learned today. Barnicle: Questioning was hostile, and disrespectful of her office. Eugene Robinson: Committee couldn't decide which narrative was valid, what their motive was. Then they quickly moved on to Trump's and Carson's latest numbers. I saw a clip of Carson tonight and it looked like his eyes were closed or as good as closed the whole time he was talking. stormy was right about not letting Carson within 100 feet with a scalpel. I gets the cognitive dissonance re him being this first class, aces, ground-breaking surgeon because he seems like such a chucklehead.

Much of the questioning was rude, snarly and condescending. At one point she laughed (at the question "You say you were home alone that evening. Were you home alone all night?") and was rebuked for laughing. (She was probably thinking, "Hmm, that sounds more like a question for my husband than for me.") But she ate everything they dished out, and swallowed. She didn't flare, she didn't get rattled. Not that I saw, anyway, and I watched a whole lot of it. And as Rachel Maddow said, the lone individual being continually questioned for 11 hours matched and even outdid the stamina of the committee whose members got to lay back between their turns at asking questions. I think HR came across as presidential, and large and in charge. The 'publicans looked much less than chipper when it was over while HC was all light and smile-y, greeting supporters and receiving atta girls. ** To be truly presidential she would have cut the bastards off at the knees at different points along the way, which of course she could not do (as a candidate).

On the left we see a skeezy blonde wearing a loin cloth beneath her baby bump and on the right is a huge-ass fake ass stuffed in someone's tights that looks just like Kim's ass. Oh, to be a fly on the wall ...

Speaking of Battle of the Blowhards, cannot wait to hear the MoJo bloviators pissing and moaning and bitching and complaining about Hillary's testimony today (while being grilled by those who lack both the talent and the intelligence to achieve a career anything like hers). Setting my alarm, now.

Joe shares with us that the most powerful, the most influential, the most prominent Republicans are telling him on the phone that "OMG, Trump can win this" and, in fact, "We don't know how to stop him." (Which I guess means that some of his insiders confide in him face to face but others do their confiding via phone.) ^^ After re-thinking, it differentiates between the little people who randomly come up to him and the powerful, influential and prominent who remain in close, personal touch. Also, Mika went into cultural snob mode during mentions of the new Star Wars movie. Joe came back with a "Polish hillbillies" remark which I thought was quite patriarchal. Her mother is Swiss, so "Swiss-Polish hillbillies" would have been more politically correct, yes?

^^^ Our most shameful statistic.

She said the panic attacks started when she was in medical school and that got her interested in psychiatry so she changed course.

While chowing down on the turtle meat, Enid arranged its itty bitty bones on the ground to spell out JSS.

It was noted on TTD that Carol's casserole needed to bake for 45 minutes and that's how long the Wolves' attack played out in real time. I love it when a plan comes together.

You can't do it. You should have. or You can't do it, can you? You should have. (My first watch is sorta fuzzy.)

Now THIS is what I expected last week. THIS is a season premiere! The litmus test for me is whether or not I want to re-watch. Re-watching last week's epi didn't even occur to me. This one: oh, yeah!

If someone never married during their life on earth or were married but not sealed for eternity, they will indeed be servants to eternally married couples and their children.

That's a kind and generous thought on your part, but the gesture from the LDS standpoint is one of arrogance. Because the belief is that theirs is The One, The Only, True Church. Baptism of the dead by proxy gives one last chance to those who were aware of The Church and rejected it during their lifetime, or those who were unaware of it during their lifetime. Hence: Anne Frank, Mohandas Ghandi, John Lennon, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, all of the US Founding Fathers, etc, etc. Every possible newspaper's obituaries in the world are collated (no matter how small the town or the circulation) and all the souls are baptized.

Not at the baptism phase but at the temple-worthiness phase Madison will be asked these two (of fourteen) mandatory questions: Is there anything in your conduct relating to members of your family that is not in harmony with the teachings of the Church? Do you affiliate with any group or individual whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or do you sympathize with the precepts of any such group or individual? Her entire family consists of apostates and, depending on her ward/her bishop and her stake/her stake president, she could (would) be expected to willingly turn her back on them (shun them) or deal with social and financial isolation herself. If she wasn't sort of a public figure I think they might deal with her less harshly, but given her higher profile I think they're nipping her membership in the bud at the baptism phase.

The more I see and hear from Bernie Sanders, the more he reminds me of RFK.

" ... and a machete with a red handle. That's what I'm gonna use to kill you."

And the writing is sometimes nothing short of lovely. Like Carol's attempt at enlightening Lizzie in The Grove, the specifics of which are so very true - since Day One, in that episode, and in the future. "You just keep going, you push through. And one day, you're not who you used to be. You change." (As Carol and Tyreese head out - their relationship forever altered - with Judith, but without Mika and Lizzie.)

Anwar is a stone fox. Of the three kids, he's the one who should be a model. He's young Elvis Presley pretty. Damn.

This is the definition I grew up with, hence the cognitive dissonance when I learned that Pope Francis was a bouncer in a club before he joined the religious life. re Whoopi's distaste/disregard for women who remain in bad relationships because of low self-esteem: nine times out of ten the lack of self-regard stems from being abused to begin with. She's a dumb fuck.
