So many clothes and nowhere to go

Maybe she has him around to deflect from her. If we are talking about him, we leave her alone...although that doesn't happen
She keeps him around as without him there would be absolutely NO content?
Good one.

Speculation: It has to do with the failure of the revolution Clara touches upon at Patreon day. I get the strong feeling she was expecting support from the entourage which was not forthcoming. And that retrenchment is part of the strange lack of renovation, progress, and weird holes in Dan's and the new handyman's stories....Something is up, and Clara seems to be saying it would be unwise for her to talk about it. She hints she thinks SJ knows who she is. Definitely a change in the weather, having to do with money. No other explanation for prioritizing the Jardin Anglais and the thrice-stupid Burgundian junket channel at this time. Her only content for the year.

I agree. Suits should make a comeback for men in the office. I don't detest the more casual approach but there is something about a man in a suit. And a decent complimentary tie.

And actually, imho, I think women have better and easier choices. If only they put some thought into it. My husband, son and I had to go to the mobile phone shop recently to replace a stolen phone. We were greeted by a young lady somewhere in the region of my sons age - 18 to 20 y.o. All 3 of us made the same comment, my son included,... is that day wear? Seriously, the outfit was screaming I'm off out clubbing. It was 10 o'clock in the morning. And yet in France decent clothes and fashion are affordable. But so many lines are crossed. It's a pity. Evidence that I am getting old.

My husband wore a suit most of his working life. Good suits too. I would always try to find him fine silk ties on my/our travels. Now he no longer needs to wear a suit for work but, I can tell you, I believe him to be the best dressed chauffeur de taxi in France.

I am also bilingual. German and English. Multilingual if you count the language of love to. But that turned out to be a monologue.. twice a day. Three times a day when I imagine Ky in his suits, jeans, and shorts.

She is absolutely incapable of a sane exchange with someone asking questions, which she perceives as hostile. She acts like a cornered rat when asked most politely to account for something, as I know from experience. Like Markle and others demanding other people on set not make eye contact with them. She is perfectly useless as a source of any kind of logically sequenced information. It's word salad, as some have noticed in her repetition of certain phrases countless times in every video. There is cognitive distortion going on to the max, whether organic, substance-induced, willed, or all of the above, as is consistent with me and my medical degree's diagnosis of classic NPD. She does word salad like Trump does. And, as a friend points out, Trump doesn't lie. He thinks he's telling the truth, because it's what he wants in the moment.

Old but good.
Much more recent argument by leading Republican lawyer:
Focussing on Trump diagnoses because there are no qualified experts watching Stephanie Jarvis.

SmolPhiPhi-o’lurv… can I change my profile name?!
Feel free, I love to share. It was between that or one that was a tad more vicious but perhaps more subtle. My original instinct was to go with SmolPeePee-o’lurv, a more brutal take on CamelToe

I still say she has ADHD although I have no medical qualifications!

Go for it I love rural but unfortunately so many villages are losing their life blood, pubs and village shops are closing and not being replaced. Personally I think market towns are where to live when you get older, everything you need can be bought locally and if you’re lucky it’s all within walking distance. For me the icing on the cake is if it is close to the sea as well. Good luck.

My only qualms about retiring to a more rural environment is the availability of quality complete medical care. I love the quiet and slower pace.

From my own experience, I say Go. For. It.

I’m really not the expert on women’s clothes (unlike Phi Phi ), so I’m not sure about their cost. For me, I could buy a nice suit for $300 - $400, a nice shirt for $70, and a silk tie for $50. A timeless suit and white shirt can last for years with proper care. Ties can last for years, too, if they don’t look too trendy. There’s an initial investment in the clothes, but they last a long time and it pays off. It just seems to me that women’s fashion and clothes constantly change and it would be expensive to purchase new outfits all the time to keep up. Of course, I don’t live in France, either!

I agree with everything you say. I was in the position of having to call on the youth mental health team when my son was 16. He jumped from a railway bridge but fortunately people got him off the track in time. I got help the next day but only because it was classed as an emergency. I found that they had a way of wanting to deal with the problem and if my son didn’t agree that was it. I managed to get him to appointments but again if he didn’t give the responses they had been taught to expect then we were on our own. It was a tough few years and a further attempt by taking an overdose. I didn’t even bother with the mental health team then just dealt with it on my own. It was his head of year at school and his rugby club that gave me the most support and between us we got him through the worst of it. During this time I was made aware of how many boys actually have mental health problems and tried to commit suicide. It is heartbreaking. It does happen to girls as well as my sister committed suicide.

Good one, sugar mixed with cheap face cleanser works too.

Revealing who he is would blow your cover?

Ruby tells me that Lady Phyllis, Dame Fanny Four and the Old Dowager Isabelle are so deeply rooted within the Cosa Nostra that Clara couldn’t possibly reveal the identity of the new handyman for fear of the inevitable bloodied horse head under the duvet for exposing such a dangerous secret. Don’t blow your cover Clara - keep safe. LieLande is so dangerous, especially with Brenda Gibbons (me) presently at the HMN….
