Yeah, don't kid yourself, dude. Your kid isn't an adventurous eater because you're such a stellar amazing parent. Your kid is an adventurous eater because you got lucky. I have two daughters. Daughter #1 will, and has always, happily try anything we give her to try, and likes most of it; she's always been a healthy…

Is anyone else hoping desperately that Albert and the lady coroner fall desperately in love and run away together, and that's Ferrar's exit from the show?

I actually really appreciated his reassuring her right after it happened; I thought that was rather sweet.

Please tell me what particular rights and freedoms Trump has ended at this point.

But he had a biological urge, and followed it. Are you saying he didn't actually consent to pissing, either?

What? It's perfectly good!

How would his just sitting there have changed the battle's outcome? Genuine question.

You don't know that.

I dunno. They say your book characters shouldn't speak in heavy dialect but I know at least one writer who did and it was very successful. The point isn't that rules shouldn't be broken, it's that if you're going to break them it has to be good/for good reasons.

Yes, please share those points. I'd like to know the clues and themes I am missing (seriously).

Jesus, really?

Yes, that's a big stumbling block for me, too (and I also agree re Weekend at Bernie's). It was bad enough when it was just his wife etc., but I could see that being some kind of "joke/statement," about how little we pay attention to things. But the doctor, who was actually given a description of Dougie's weird…

Why wouldn't Miriam just go to the police station and make a statement immediately, for that matter?

Agreed. And "challenging for some?" No. I didn't hate it because I was "challenged." I hated it because it was boring and fairly banal, and took a long time to show us something it could have shown us in <ten minutes.="" it="" was="" only="" "spectacular"="" if="" your="" viewing="" history="" doesn't="" include=""…

Not technically incorrect, but definitely not the best word choice.

Disagree re Hillary Clinton comparison, but agree with the rest.

"Fixated on personal events to the contrary of wisdom" is an absolutely amazing descriptor, btw, for something I've noticed in people before (both real and in fiction). An excellent, concise, and extremely well-put phrase.

YES, re Rickon. I said it above, too, and at the time: It's all well and good to give some vague nonadvice about "Don't do what he wants you to do," but what was Jon supposed to do while his little brother—a *little boy*, ffs—runs for his life toward him? Just sit there? Maybe yawn, rub some dirt off his boot? He had…

How about some cooch chili?

It only takes people out of the fantasy if those people have any idea who the fuck Ed Sheeran is. Since we didn't in my house (we're not teenagers/young adults who GAF about current pop music), it didn't matter.
