If you’re home self-isolating and looking for something to do, play the HGTV drinking game: just take a drink every time someone says “let’s just blow this wall right out...”

To my embarrassment, my Covid-19 prepping made me look as though I had an army of hungry 6-yr-olds waiting at home. Macaroni and cheese, canned ravioli, Lipton powdered chicken noodle soup, bread and hotdogs.  

I know a former Olympic ski jumper and ski jumping judge who was against women being allowed to participate in the sport.  His excuses ranged from “it would be boring because they can’t jump as far” to “it would be unfair since they are unprepared to participate” to “not all countries would have an equal playing…

Which one will they choose? The American Colonial with the wrap-around porch and super-judgy neighbors, or the Contemporary Craftsmen with the private backyard, perfect for entertaining? 

I have a friend who was supposed to be on board the Sapphire Princess, a sister ship, also with ports of call throughout Asia. When this story started to break, he was waiting to see if the cruise would be cancelled or not. Ultimately, he decided not to risk it as he was travelling with his 80-yr old mom. He took a…

I say again: the only thing I got from this movie is that theatre people really are insufferable.   

Why wouldn’t Harry be entitled to his Father’s money? Harry was known as “The Spare” right up until George was born and he performed his duties accordingly. The fact that there are so many in the line of succession now doesn’t mean that it didn’t take up 30+ years of his life...

Don’t let Canada fool you. This is the current political landscape... (though we have since added one female premier). Like everywhere else in the world, the right is becoming more emboldened every day.

I hate-watch this show with my sister and basically play a drinking game where we take a shot whenever anyone says “we could blow this wall right out...”

This is not a sport for the faint of heart. My sisters and I do it every year, because it is easier in groups - frustration sets in on or around hour number 2. By the end of the day, covered in sugar and with a kitchen full of discarded bowls of various colours of icing, you are basically so over it, you don’t even…

What’s for dinner, Mom?

By using your phantom lats.

Yes Charles bows, as do his sons. It’s not a formal bow, they basically touch their chins to their chests like a nod in a sign of respect.

One of my student employees used that reference this summer and he was 25 years old.  So, thank you Netflix, for giving the show to subsequent generations.   

Ha. When you tell my niece to do this, she will store it in her cheek for HOURS. You cannot tell her to swallow it. She. Will. NOT.

I have fears of this happening to my niece. She seems to subsist on a diet of chicken fingers, macaroni and cheese, hot dogs, bread and oreos. She will not touch fruit, vegetables, meat, juice or otherwise. This kid will sit there with food inside her cheek for HOURS rather than swallow it. It’s disgusting, and not…

When I fell when I was skating, I heard my wrist snap. I immediately told the man I was with “I just broke my wrist...” His response was “You did not. Get up!” Thankfully a skate-patrol volunteer saw me fall and was over right away. She looked at him and said “If she says she broke it, SHE BROKE IT.”

Behold your worst nightmare. I took this photo last week in a store in upstate NY.

I think his phantom lats are explained in these pictures. His shoulders are not symmetrical... his collarbone on the right side is noticeably shorter than the left.

And in German, you don’t include any letters unless they are pronounced.
