Here's a tip: If the office has a roll-up door, you might not want to put your feet in the stirrups.

Funny. But I think those women knew the gyno wasn't licensed. Perhaps, they kept going, because his/her rates were cheap(er)?

You have more faith in people than I do, I suppose.

And I should not be allowed to go into home improvement stores unsupervised. A quick stop for a few things turns into endless wandering around the store going, "Ooooh. That's so cool."

When did Angel say that to Lindsey? S2?

I think all the serious mojo Lindsey would have needed back then would have been a strategically unbandaged shaving cut.

But who's the "Johnny" that you're going to do it for?

It was the probably the guy who always had food in his braces.

Home improvement, office supply stores. These are the places I go like, once a year, so that I am still able to EAT. I don't even have a house and I'm all about getting tools and paints and doing stuff to one. One I don't have!

I don't even have a house and I'm all about getting tools and paints and doing stuff to one. One I don't have!

I think it's perfectly normal 1) to imagine owning a house, and 2) to imagine what improvements you would make to it. Years before we actually moved into our house, for example, my mother would go to the wallpaper department at Sears and thumb through all the different samples to see what would look good on her kitchen walls.

Again, it's perfectly normal. (If anything, it shows you're goal-oriented.) Now, when you are so sure you're going to marry this one guy you know that you even send out invitations and book a hall for the reception...and the guy hasn't even proposed...!

I think all tool stores are wonderful. So many mysterious gadgets that help tie the world together; I can walk through a woodworker's shop (Woodcraft has opened near us) and spend a happy half-hour without being remotely tempted to take up woodwork.

And visiting a wood store is much, much cheaper than visiting a bookstore, a sewing store, or a craft store.

You have more faith in people than I do, I suppose.

Actually, Kristen, I think our two amounts of faith in people are about the same. You're cynical enough not to believe these women didn't know their gyno wasn't licensed; and I'm cynical enough to believe that not only did they not know, but they probably, for the most part, didn't care (b/c, as I suggested before, the rates were probably outta-sight). What I'd like to know, though, is what transpired to expose the gyno as the fraud he/she really was. Did someone blow the whistle when the rates went up...or what?

much cheaper than visiting a bookstore

Ain't that the truth! Preferred Reader clubs? Are the work of the devil.

Woodcraft is one of my favorite toy stores. I want to walk out with all their hardwoods.

Strega, was the meta important to your theory. That is, can't you just point out the content of the scenes cut from Home, and how they echo the people-suck thesis from Reprise (or whichever that was)?

Oh, sure. It doesn't keep me from thinking it's a neat parallel and getting all excited about it. I just wondered if it was intentional. If things had to be planned for me to like them, I wouldn't like seasons 3 & 4 so much.

But I was right about "Nautilus" and that's all that really matters! Well, that and my ego are all that matter.

Remember that filler bit of live-but-stop-motion film that had the professorly-looking guy surrounded by 5 electrified lizards?
