I think you’re talking about Mary Hawkins who was not a servant. She was from a well to do family and the goddaughter of a duke whom he had brought to France specifically to marry a member of the french nobility. The marriage was a stretch already hence the extreme focus on her marriage prospects. Even so Jamie,…

I’m not going to defend the amount of rape/attempted rape in Outlander but it is always treated as a heinous crime and someone always at least tries to kill the rapist(s).
I was trying to explain microaggressions and trigger warnings to my mother the other day (part of a larger discussion about how out of control “political correctness” has gotten). I spent a good 30 minutes on it and I’m still not sure she believes that they’re a real thing.
I’m Chelsea’s age and I’ve been a fan of hers since she attempted to pass universal health care longer ago than I care to think about.
After my 7 year old asked “Why is the orange man so angry?” I started pausing the TV whenever one of my kids would come into the TV room (I watch a lot of politics while folding laundry).
We haven’t hit recorder age yet but they did find an old tin whistle of mine (purchased in Colonial Williamsburg) when they were sleeping in my old room at my mom’s house. Not sure if that or the duck call that my MIL bought them is worse.
She’s talked publicly about breastfeeding in the past so if she’s breastfeeding this baby she could very well have breasts that are constantly changing size.
I thought I was the only one!
There was also some speculation that it was because they were hoping Kasich would be the nominee.
No arguments from me as I’ve grown up on stories of how terrible it is. My two favorites:
My grandfather got transferred from California to Oklahoma after he pissed off Hoover by marrying my step-grandmother (she had friends who were communists). The transfer to CA had been due to a personal appeal my grandfather (who…
It’s the meditation/zen part of it. Kind of like when you’re trying to fall asleep and start having an anxiety attack because suddenly there’s nothing keeping you from thinking about all the sh*t you haven’t had time to take care of. Or maybe that’s just me :/ .
I’ve always figured that someone once told her she has RBF and she’s afraid of being photographed that way.
Tim Gunn is the only reason I know anything about this show. After my in-laws took us to Disney my daughter found the show on Netflix and started watching it. Imagine my shock when I heard Tim Gunn’s voice floating through my kitchen!
Well, to be fair Sofia’s bio-dad is gone too. Her mom married the king which is how she became a princess. (I kind of hate that I know this but I have kids and when I found out Tim Gunn was a voice actor on the show I had to check it out)
I think the kingdom is sort of supposed to be Spain so still European but not Northern European.
I don’t think “organic” toilet paper is a thing (organic trees?). The recycled toilet paper from Trader Joes is good though. Sadly while the tissues are ok for occasional use once cold season comes around I need my Kleenex.
I literally just read that scene earlier today. It does say that but it’s something that she’s thinking to herself while being dismissed because of her sex so I always felt like it was more of an internally hyperbolic statement than a statement of general fact (not to mentioned that “build” and “design” are not the…
Really? I’ve always felt like the engineering stuff she does is pretty basic stuff that she’s more or less regurgitating. It’s impressive to the people on the Ridge only because she’s from the future. The shovel that she has made at one point impresses people and it’s just a regular pointed metal shovel like they sell…
I was shocked at how many book readers were whining about how terrible Bree was (not the acting, that was a separate issue). It’s like they all forgot how irritating she was in the book.
