I felt for Janet in this episode because what she confessed happened almost a decade ago and in the grand scheme of life, it was not a big deal. She fibbed and ditched school for one day. Her dad was acting like she had done something far worse. I know he felt betrayed but we have seen him lie about stuff too. The worst part was how Appa's anger about Janet's old lie forced all of the Raj stuff out into the open. But I was totally with the rest of the book club about kicking Mrs. Mehta out. I haaaaaaaate when people don't read the book. I get that people get busy but if you don't have time to read the book, then don't come to book club and tell us what you heard about the book!

ElectricBoogaloo March 29, 2020 Share March 29, 2020 The misunderstanding about the price of the cat photos was BOTH Janet and Shannon's faults. What kind of person hires someone to do something without asking for at least a ballpark price estimate? And what kind of professional doesn't mention at least an approximate price? But in the overall scheme of things, I'm on Janet's side. She provided a service so she deserved to be paid for it. As for Shannon's sticker shock, well, that's why you should ask for a price upfront AND do some research beforehand to see how much other people charge so that you have a good idea of what the market rate is. I'm glad that Janet is charging enough to make Shannon gasp. All too often, young artists don't charge enough for their services. And Shannon made it even worse by intending to give Janet a non-cash payment. I can't tell you how many times I've been asked to do something in trade. As Janet said, I can't pay my rent with a gift certificate. If you can't afford to pay cash for an artist's service, then maybe you don't really need to hire them. You wouldn't go to a restaurant, eat an entire meal, and then when the bill comes tell the wait staff that you don't have enough money to pay for what you ate. I loved that Kimchee kept scheming to get Terence to eat hot things to negate his Wasabi nickname. I don't think you're better just because you tolerate spicier stuff but Terence's obliviousness and Kimchee's increasing desperation made me laugh. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61917-kims-convenience-general-discussion/page/2/#findComment-6031167
