Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

At this point I don't plan to leave the house until Thursday.

I wish I could do this, but I have a full crew at work on Monday. At least I think we'll be able to keep the loading door closed that day. The rest of the week we'll have scenery coming in.

So, Love It or List It has follow-up videos online of some of the people, and unsurprisingly, most of them are still in their houses, regardless of which they said at the end of the show.

Ooh, fascinating. I wonder if the places they look at are even available?? Because sometimes they're awesome. And I've heard for House Hunters they've already gotten a place, and it's all fake (which hurts!) and some of the places aren't even available. Boo. I want at least a modicum of reality in my reality TV!

That and you can spit into the trash bag instead of the sink.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wonder if the places they look at are even available??

Yeah, I do, too -- I think the only one I saw where they did move, they didn't move into the place David showed them.

Punishingly Intricate

The oil specialist I know (an aesthetician who does ayurvedic facials so a far bit of woo but, also, awesome facials!) said to mix coconut oil with grapeseed oil in the winter because coconut oil on its on isn't moisturizing enough.

I saw sarameg at the market this morning and gave her a bigger hug than normal for safely getting off the roof yesterday and thanked her neighbor who helped save her.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

My football game hasn't even started yet, but this one between KC and Indy is insane.

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

It really is.

Broccoli soup and chicken soup made. I don't know what to do with the squash. And I think the great eggs benedict experiment will have to wait, I just have too much food in my fridge.

Compassionately intolerant

That and you can spit into the trash bag instead of the sink.

This has been suggested, but I hate wet rubbish! (though, I'd hate clogged drains more)

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

It does. I hope she comes back.
