Was it taught by a staff of sitcom writers?

I mean... yes, kinda? Except that whole plot mainly revolved around the fact that his father (Bilbo Baggins!) was unethically serving as his therapist and putting him on tons of meds he never needed in the first place. So he didn’t actually have mental health issues.

Oh jeez! Yeah, I’m glad no one made me watch the video. They just made me read a paper.

Ooof. Oh my how horrid and sad... and also how very ill-advised. I used to work for an organization with the word “Holocaust” in the title. One board member once made cookies with our logo and name of the institution on them in celebration of... something. My boss was like “The Holocaust has no place on baked goods.”

Ha! Yeah, I was supposed to watch a video, but they also give the option of “We watched the video/discussed with a healthcare provider during our stay.”

Oh totally: good analogy. Like I said, it’s a good campaign, but there is something kind of giggle-inducing about it as well...

TOTALLY something Monsieur and I would do...

Michael Ian Black has a great bit in his stand up about when his son was an infant where’s like “I can’t shake him, I can’t shake him, I can’t shake him. So I didn’t shake him... but I threw him. I threw him right onto the couch.”

It is a bummer. But, “know better, do better” as they say.

Incidentally, in the state of New York you have to sign a paper promising you won’t shake your baby before you leave the hospital. It’s good, because it’s part of a larger program to educate parents that shaking a baby can be harmful or deadly, and simple advice to help parents calm themselves down to keep them and…

I was most horrified by the fact that so many little kids died because of laundry back then. So, so sad!

If you haven’t watched Manor House, Pioneer House, or Colonial House I highly recommend them. Manor House is the best.

Ha! Well played. I think I would prefer MsTommyShelby’sMistress. Cuz being married to Tommy seems a bad, bad idea

Oh. We watch with subtitles, cuz shit.

You have to wait until Season 2. It’s glorious. Season 1 has its own perks, if only visually, so it’s all good.

I think so. I would argue that it’s mainly a show about PTSD after WWI. So, as with most shows, it’s most interested in the emotional journeys of men. That said, some of my favorite characters on the show are women (who, they point out, ran shit while the men were away... dare I dream for a prequel at some point?!)…

Hopefully this show can help more Americans learn how to pronounce “Birmingham, England” properly? I think this feat is made tougher for the fact that we have a pretty famous “Birmingham” of our own in Alabama.

He’s such a wonderful character. My heart has broken for him so many times.

Ha!Never worry about Le Petit Comte: the dude is a glorious beast and can hold his own. ;-)

I just read that after posting this. I can’t wait that long!
