Mary turns shy when convenient…got it

[kacesq]

Did Grandpa insist the last boyfriend marry Shy Mary?

[Doublemint]

Does Mary's Brother work in the rice field too?   Why doesn't he help Grandpa?

[greekmom]

Grandpa wants to make sure Mary seals the deal.

Well, I’ve lived in NYC for47 years and would love to move to France, but there is nothing like NYC, especially if you’re young (or rich). And not everywhere in Europe is great.

I have always wanted to live in the City, but the reality might be different. I liked CT a lot, but it was soooo expensive, and the City is double that.

He sped out of that viper's nest as fast as his little legs would carry him.

[Gobi]

So, he moved to the Philippines to decide whether he wants to marry Mary?

They all seem to take that detour.

Mary is as virginal as Annie was when David met her.

In all seriousness, I have a French friend who has an apartment in Paris and one in Nice. He bought a place in Turkey because he loved it there. But after a few years, the repressive regime was too much for him. He’s back in Paris. (Gay, Jewish and originally Algerian, if it matters. A novelist, so he got at least one novel out of it.)

Don’t forget, these are the same people who don’t discuss the most basic issues in a marriage (babies, finances, in-laws) until after they’ve tied the knot. 

[Suzywriter]

Since we're snoozing along here, I got my coveted, long awaited Street Strider yesterday! It's the coolest toy ever although my short, chunky ass only lasts about 3 minutes at a time. Still, I did not fall off of it or crash once.  I'm so stoked!

His life sounds like a novel! I was clearly born in the wrong tax bracket.

Thank you!

[greekmom]

at least they accept her.

Not like the last how many examples we've had from India.

[Auntie Anxiety]

I’m waiting for the cow to get trotted in a la Sumit and Jenny.

[Gobi]

So, are they going to talk about the elephant in the room?

She's not an oldie.

Nerve wrecking? 

This poor, poor generation. 

[kacesq]

I do enjoy judgey Indian MILs…

I think they accept her because they expect her to fall in line after the wedding. She will be under the thumb of his family the entire marriage 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Bring me the tool, I mean, stool!

she should have known what was in store for her.

There's fucking google.

Kimberly, hope you enjoy waking up at 4AM to get the tea and breakfast prepared.

She's not elderly - like the other 2.

I love how Annie never bothered to play the shrinking violet. She seems to take delight in her sex tourist husband and being his permanent souvenir.

I don’t think he’s rich. The place in Turkey was really cheap. I’ve seen his place in Paris, it’s in a coveted part of town but a walkup and he’s my age, late 6os, so the stairs are going to be a problem in the future. I’m not sure if he still has the place in Nice, but he has rented out his Paris place when he is out of the country for a while.

More than one aig in them ovaries. 

[sainte-chapelle]

Armando…that was holding back?!?! Jesus you need to talk with your family and sort this out.

[Gobi]

Armando, quit crying. That's Kenny's job!

Maybe not rich, but 3 addresses is 3 addresses. It still sounds really delightful.

Hope the paycheck is worth putting your mom thru this, Armando…

All that entire extended circle does is drink, cry and manipulate. Armando should have married Tim and Veronica.

Property is Paris is expensive as fuck. My friend moved to the banlieue because she couldn’t afford it.

I know, right? It seems so exploitative.

[kacesq]

Haven’t they already left this crap in the past in all their previous effing seasons?

Yes, let’s think about poor Kenny and all his sacrifices. 

[Shelbie]

I’m finding tonight’s show to be exceptionally boring.

Exactly. No fakery and no pretending. 

[kacesq]

So Armando let Mom rule him and now Kenny does. Got it,

[Bees52]

Sigh I must learn to anticipate that if Kenny or Armando or any of their family,  is on my screen, there will be tears shed. Sniff... Where are my tissues?

if it wasn't for you guys I would be doing the dishes.

[kacesq]

Oh wait, now they want kids? Wasn’t a previous storyline that Kenny felt he was too old for more kids?

The one in Turkey is no more and he does at least sometimes rent out the Paris one, probably the Nice one too if he still has it. He travels a lot, recently to Eastern Europe but also to India a lot. Both low-budget.

[kacesq]

I hate the Derricos. And the constant mugging for the cameras. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

I keep an (covered) open can of dog food in the fridge and if you don’t like it, go fuck yourself.

[Doublemint]

I'm here for the India story with Kimberly.  Don't care about the others.  Can't stand Mary!

Yes, too expensive pour moi. But he’s been there for ages. I have two other friends in Paris with modest incomes/pensions but longtime residences. One is in a kind of subsidized estate, but nice … buildings surrounding a park in the 19th arrondissement.
