When I saw the preview for "Servant," I remembered a book I read just a couple of years ago about a nanny who takes care of a doll because the baby died.  It took place in Victorian England, IIRC. 

it makes sense he got an idea from Are You Afraid Of the Dark, it seems to be his M.O. to take a schlocky concept and try to play it straight with a degree of skill and artful composition.

That was my biggest takeaway from that show, too! Take away the insane money and tv theatrics, and it’s completely him. I’m so glad someone else saw the similarities!

pretty undeserved imo

Second one 100%

The first question to ask about any HOA is if it was formed by the homeowners in the area or if the developer of the subdivision created it to continue exerting control over the properties until he sells all the houses.

For me living with one certainly gave me libertarian tendencies for some things. I think you should be able to paint your fence any damn color you choose, not just one of the three “approved” colors. (Not what happened to me, but something kind of similar.) It was a contributing factor to why we moved, and left the…

HOA’s are really there to make sure that the property values try and stay the same. They try and prevent some body from not maintaining their property and dragging down the values of the homes around it. In theory, that is a worthwhile thing.

Retiring as a Judge, Trump’s Sister Ends Court Inquiry Into Her Role in Tax Dodges

Esther, no offense intended but, did your family have money? Do you have a trust fund or family help to let you live in NYC?

Curse the person who kept necco wafers going even after the New England Candy Company closed!

I like all those, and have since I was a kid! LOL

What I hated were those weird sort-of-taffy-sort-of-caramel things in the orange or black wrappers.  Nasty.

Charleston Chew are amazing. Unless they’ve been in someone’s closet for 5 years before being passed out and become hard as rocks. Otherwise...perfection! 

Necco wafers are just straight literal chalk. They are the worst. Hershey bars blow Necco wafers out of the fucking water.  what Utopian timeline did the Author grow up in?

Agreed. I know were’s supposed to drag the Trumps for literally everything, but to call full size Hershey bars “the worst” is really, really stretching things.

Jesus, I used to be given those fucking awful Mary Jane candies by the older neighbors. Break my damn jaw.
