Now that is a top tier throwback comment. Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, and Electric Company were my childhood.

Oh, The Electric Company!

You know how bad that smelled

 Poor Sheila 

I must say, not all sweaty people are smelly. Some are just leaky.

Good question. It's baffling. 

I wonder if it's because she has the upper hand. 

[Angry Moldovan2]

Never mind

She's "turned on" by the fact he's a virgin. I felt the same about my virgin then-boyfriend now husband but, well, he's actually sexy. Nikola is, well, let's say not in the same league. Shudder.

Are we twins?  Mine was actually running away from religion and I was all “welcome to the dark side” (literally and figuratively…more Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner in rural PA stories later).

I doubt anything about Twitney and her dad is any kind of secret at all. 

Spoiler

Her dad fathered a love child before he married Babs

Completely agree. They have nothing but Catholicism in common. When she goes home I hope they both think deeply but I think they’ll just pray and refuse to believe that god didn’t bring them together.

Maybe they took a shower together first.

In other news, the weather was great for e-biking today. I rode to and from work, about 17 miles total...looking forward to another ride tomorrow.

I cracked my husband up today with my rendition of the Jardiance commercial, “a little pill with a big stor-eee to tell” 

The woman in that commercial reminds me of Whitney Thorne.

I'm kind of glad I went through menopause before even that function became an app.

Oh update on the freelancer situation…she works remotely so I send her a long note trying not to be rude but explaining her mistakes and why we couldn’t use her work. It was fine but holy shit I found out the reason she is getting so much work is she was recommended by my colleague..she is her sons girlfriend and I get the impression that she covers for a lot of her mistakes. This isn’t the first project I worked with her on where I had to chase because she missed deadlines. 

[Angry Moldovan2]

Christian needs to hook up with staple gun. They are perfect for each other.

so what is this? just someone who is a typist?

[Drogo]

So men and women can only speak to each other as a means to sex now

[Floatingbison]

@Auntie Anxiety  I am sorry about what happened to your doggie, glad you guys are okay.

Christian is very "extroverted". That's Christian for "I'm a skeevy creep who can't resist trying to get over on some sweet young thing". Cleo is right, he never "strikes up a conversation" with another dude. My son is an extrovert par excellence, and he'll chat with ANYONE. He's a Chat Machine. He's genuinely friendly and interested in people. Christian is so not that.

I'll have to remember, if I'm ever in an awkward social situation, to just say "Sooooo.....does anyone want some more cheese?"

[Drogo]

Oh Jane maybe he’s defensive because they discuss things, everything’s fine, then Cleo brings you around and announces she is not now and has never been fine

[Gobi]

So, the other American was a no show?

[Auntie Anxiety]

Christian, if the shoe fits, wear it. You ARE an asshole.

Boyfriend and I have our 10th anniversary in October. I wish we can do something like that. Our plans are the Keg steakhouse for dinner and cross boarder shopping at a bunch of Targets.

Yeah we live an exciting life. LOL

Hey target can be romantic!

All of this. Including the cheese.

she was probably part of production

[Drogo]

She will do this every time you annoy her, so get used to it or get back on a plane.

I think she had plans to go to Belgium.

She is a designer…we lost some freelancers and were desperate but I don’t think she is up to snuff on certain things and my colleague covers for her due to their relationship. It is a tough situation and I don’t want to rock to boat. It is a job by job basis so I guess it’s fine but I’d rather find other freelancers to avoid conflict of interest.

Oh of course. The "other American" was the clapper loader's cousin who's doing a semester abroad.

It sounds like he mentioned they were hosting a thanksgiving dinner and she said she was going to Belgium.

I hate hate hate watching Amanda kiss. It’s all so cringey trying to be sexy.

Wow

Let the gaslighting begin!

I agree, she is so young and has a lot going on. It’s an awkward situation. It’s hard to manage work and turn down jobs when you are first getting started. She is lovely but not the right fit in this moment.

Jasmine: I want to make this work. I don't want to lose you. And my ex won't take me back. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

The previews look good, but they always do.   Reality of the actual show is always disappointing.

I hate Cleo’s “mechanic’s manicure”

Colour me not surprised that Stapler doesnt want kids.

OK peeps, that's it! Have a great Labor Day weekend, and hope to see some of you tomorrow night. Love you loads!
