Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I wonder how that compares to Liz Taylor, who also has quite the close relationship with hospitals.

That was my first thought too!

My ex had a lot of surgeries, but she'd been in a horrible accident as a toddler which required lots of repair. But even then I don't think she got close to 26.

Please say you got the grade and he got fired.

Oh, I got the A+. He didn't get fired, tho'.

You guys, I finished the storage room! It is clean! Organized! There are boxes of things that need to go to Goodwill, and bags of trash that need to go to the dump, but I finished it!

Compassionately intolerant

Woot! GoJilligoJilligoJilli.

Congrats on the finishing. It will feel even greater once you've rested and then walk back in to that freshly organized space. I LOVE that feeling!

“Not dead yet!”

OMG, y'all, we're watching an episode of Holmes on Homes that could easily masquerade as an ep of Hoarders. It's messed up how much these people have piled in their house, to the point where it's blocking off air returns and making the windows retain moisture.

And that doesn't even count the fact that the house had been built with sub-par brick.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Inspiring, Jilli! No more Doom?

Nope! Not Doom! I don't need a path through heaps of fabric anymore, and there aren't any boxes that will come crashing down if I pull on a random piece of ribbon. (I did that yesterday.)

I'm actually looking forward to getting organizing-type furniture next week and making the space even MORE usable.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Do it, Ginger.

Jilli, that's wonderful!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Barb--we were just watching the same thing! Scary. I am one of those people who is ALL ABOUT getting rid of stuff. The DH comes from a family of keepers. We balance each other out pretty well.

I'll admit, I'm a packrat, but I'm an organized packrat at least. I could not cope with what those people had. And I do get into fits where I become absolutely ruthless about purging.

And oddly, they struck me as some of the least grateful people I've ever seen on that show.

That is what I'm aspiring to be. An organized packrat.

Oooh, IKEA has chests of drawers in pink ...
