Move to another country? Practice safe sex until they’re old enough that they can’t do much damage? All joking aside, we all have crazy families. One wishes they also had loads of cash, but alas...

Probably. That’s a lot of money for just about anyone. My problem is I would bond with the baby and feel so bad about having to leave him/her in the care of Mel Gibson every week that it might not be worth it in the end. Most of the cash might have to go towards therapy for the kid.

Was it put in a well drained spot or pot? That’s usually where I’ve gone wrong before, it really doesn’t like sitting in water. Try again in a new spot maybe?

Indeed. When it comes to bay leaves, you absolutely get what you pay for. If you want to use it a lot in your cooking, buy a plant and dry the leaves yourself. Makes a huge difference.

Ugh, yes, those are some ugly shorts. Uglier than I thought possible, really.

St John is a nightmare. The unnerving thing is that I understand him in a way that I don’t understand Rochester. His psychology is so much more realistic, in fact I think I’ve known quite a few St Johns in my life. Rochester is, well, there’s no mold for him.

That’s a great observation, actually.

That’s when I decided it wasn’t scripted - that’s such a kid joke!

Okay, time to vent.

I haven’t watched a movie on any kind of tape or disc these last few years, but you’re probably not a freak. Unless you’re like my dad who only watches old sports games on VHS, that’s a little freaky.

Oh wow, I’m insanely jealous now!

I own this movie on actual videotape. If I could find a VCR and the key to my basement storage, I’d have the perfect Friday night.

It’s not weird, glass is amazing. You should take that class! I did a one-off class on glassblowing and it was the best thing ever. Since glassblowing is a little difficult to do in an apartment, I’ve stuck with mosaics.

All of the stars for you!

I totally read all of them in the early 90s. I “inherited” six boxes of books from an older cousin and didn’t venture outside at all between 91 and 93.

You should do it. I have and it’s very interesting. I already knew my results (98,5% Scandinavian, 1,5% unspecified northern European), but I got a kick out of seeing what haplogroups I belong to since that tells me how my (ancient) ancestors got to Sweden in the first place. I highly recommend it.

Can I hire you to narrate some of my student’s essays? Because this is great.

I’m just amazed that “I sound plainspoken even though I had the benefit of a pretty decent education” would be something he would like to highlight. He’s telling us he really should have better verbal skills than this, but alas, education didn’t stick.

art nouveau, maybe? Either way, I love it.

Yes, I feel this was easily the most underwhelming look of them all.
