LOL - Laura B homecomin'

yup, I'm on Summer Knight right now. i usually read one series at a time, but there's holds on all of them so I'm doing a few series concurrently - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet

just buy the dresden books! I'm a bad influence about that series :) - Sir Shuping

lol. Im trying to be less of a book glutton. The publib's forced wait is good for me - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet

Reminds me of that House episode where he's sitting on the couch watching Biggest Loser while eating a quart of ice cream. He says to Wilson, "I like to pretend I'm taunting them" - Spidra Webster

lol. I love to do that :) - Jason

LOL. LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL! - Mary Carmen

HA HA! - tab thinks you're awesome

trainwreck - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet

Nicolas Cage cameo, eh? - Spidra Webster

four montages? - Steve is older than ever

It's expensive to be a hoarder. - Laura (hear me raura?)

4 montages? Dear lord, even one is too much :D - Mo Kargas

4 mortgages. because she filled one house with crap, and had to buy another. And both have been double mortgaged. $7k a month. Watching this makes me want to beat sense into these people. - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet

I think that young woman has chronic fatigue or somethin. She yawns like 4 times a minute. Or the editors thought it would be interesting for us to watch her yawn over and over again. - Laura (hear me raura?)

They are expressing her laziness at failing to stay focused for 4 hours of cleaning, methinks... - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet

In addition to extensive therapy, they should all be required to watch The Story of Stuff < www.storyofstuff.com/ > every time they want to acquire another item. I find it helps me when I get the shopping bug. - Laura (hear me raura?)

Mom always told me I had to throw something away (or donate it) if I got something new. It helps keep my admittedly clutterful self from becoming a crazyhoarderlady. - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet

Thanks for that link, Laura. It's a bit over-simplified, but it's interesting. Eh. On second thought, I had to quit watching. Too much overblown stuff in between useful bits of info. With a few tweaks, that could be a useful video. - Kamilah Gill

I feel like hoarding is a tragic collision of cultures, the Great Depression culture and the Walmart culture. Having the feeling that one must save everything because it might be needed later combined with a world where things are cheap, accessible, and disposable. - Laura (hear me raura?)

"there are a bunch of people here who love you like crazy and they feel like they're losing you and they want to fight to get you back.... Want some sweet tea?" - Meredith

I have to confess to being a fan of Intervention. It's wrong, I know. Thankfully, it's on same time as House now, and House always wins. - Rochelle Rochelle

LOL Meredith - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet

Behold the wonder of a TiVo with two tuners! I can be at my reference shift and STILL get to watch House and Intervention eventually! :) - Meredith

(TiVo-less in Wisconsin) - Rochelle Rochelle

I splurged on more-than-basic cable, but I havent yet reached the heights of TiVo... - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet
