I don't know much about insurance, but I would think it difficult to get any for that monstrosity. So does that mean she doesn't have liability insurance either? Surely, she must have it in order to run the BnB?

Well the b n b,would be a different type.

I’ve always been rather taken aback at the “shock” and “surprise” when the catholic church’s abuse history was made globally public. I’m not catholic though I’ve dated some who were. It was always local knowledge which priests to avoid and which laymen were enablers here. Being that Louisiana is rife with catholic clergy you can’t throw, well, anything without hitting a church, orphanage, convent or retreat house. It was general knowledge that it was a problem that kept getting swept under the rug. As for public perception I can’t tell you how many borscht belt comics I’ve heard tell jokes about priests and altar boys. Entire comedy routines were built around clergy abuse and the church’s response. Yet the world recoiled in horrified shock as if the church would never condone such an action. For pity’s sake, they’ve been sending children and wives back directly into the hands of abusers for centuries. And allowing a diocese to file bankruptcy protection for it’s assets instead of appropriately compensating its victims isn’t just shameful, it’s criminal in my opinion. Personally I think any and all enablers who assisted in the abuse and/or resulting coverup should find themselves permanently imprisoned. Or facing capital punishment. And there is no mea culpa that can void the sins committed against children, period! No discussion, no debate and definitely no forgiveness. There is no good deed that can negate these events. Apologies for the rant. I’ll step down off my high horse now…

I was raised Catholic and when the exposure of abuse started coming out my mother asked both my brothers, who had been alter boys, if they had any untoward experiences with any of the priest, which I'm sure was extremely difficult for her, thankfully they had not. It was unconscionable that the church tried to dismiss it. They still haven't come clean about it. Many priests have just been shuffled around or stuffed away somewhere.

 

[Pippin speaks out]

This will amuse you. I went to have a look at Phillipa's YouTube channel. Yes yes I know, there are better things to do with my time but it's raining and misty and grey and I wanted to amuse myself.

It has a video posted there of the boy band it was in for 5 minutes. It was the most bizarre thing I've seen in my life. It starts off with the band singing and dancing self-consciously.
[/QUOTE]
I broke down and watched this video and one other where the boy band is on a boat with a bunch of pre-pubescent girls. The dance skills are truly awful--incredibly awkward and mostly non-existent. They don't have any rhythm. The singing is not so much bad, as utterly boring. They try SO HARD to look cool, but sadly, they just look really, really awkward. The expression on Philip's face when he's "getting into it" on the boat is cringe-worthy. Gag me! Barf!

My little Pippin is watching all of you over the carnival mask, which I love. Happy New Year to the haters, hags, and trolls. I can't wait to get 2022 behind me. I thought 2020 and 2021 were bad, but 2022 has taken the prize for being the worst year (for me). The "CD tit Show Award" has been handed (with a bit of pigeon poop on it) to 2022.

i once had a conversation about this with my fathers sister, who lived in a convent..,i said to her, did you know these things happened...yes she said... those priests just went to another place...where the abuse for sure continued...and nobody even mentioned it.. even the parents kept silent about it...she also meantioned a priest who made a girl pregnant..the priest bought the family a farm in another part of the country..

Here's hoping for a better 2023, 2022 has been an awful one but thank you all for making me laugh through the bad moments. Xx

For true, as we say in New Orleans. I’ve long suspected this was because they had to find euphemisms for everything! I mean really, “mendacity” instead of homosexual Mr. Tennessee Williams! Almost as bad as Thomas Hardy’s love of having major plot points occur between chapters simply because he couldn’t bear to write them! That said I do enjoy Thomas Wolfe’s turn of phrase and I’ve admitted here to never having met a run-on sentence I didn’t like.

eww look at the skin on Fanny's arm up close in the one with Potts dressed as an Arabian shite. They really are a bunch of preening imbeciles aren't they, such vanity. Why is Fanny dressed in jodhpurs and a hacking jacket? I guarantee she can't ride- Phillip or a horse.

Isn’t she allergic to horses?

 

[Lochness Monster]

I don't mind brooches on men but they'd have to be small, tasteful and relevant, like medals or badges.

Uncle before he was baptised in the Lalande chateau diaries culture

and work

 

[UvulaDonor]

I've seen Uncle wearing brooches, what's that about?
I've tried and tried and still can't remember my Father wearing a brooch. Neither I nor anyone I know who is male (let alone gay) wears a brooch. There must be something in the water at the ruined farmhouse.

I dunno - I've seen men wear badges and medals - is that the slippery slope to hedgehog and squirrel brooches?

 

[NoIAmNotAHorse]

Happy, healthy New Year Tattlers champagne

 

[Lochness Monster]

Fanny before fangs are fixed…..

They had a mouse in the kitchen cupboard… Squirrel would have loved it.

And Fanny paints over cracks in her bedroom. She has never done things properly. Why would she start now?

The movie Spotlight - released in 2015 is well worth a look - albeit only dealing with what happened in Boston.
Spotlight, American fact-based dramatic film, released in 2015, that won two Academy Awards, including that for best picture. The movie chronicles the efforts of a team of Boston Globe journalists to bring to light the sexual abuse of children by Roman Catholic priests in Boston.

I am writing the chatelaine’s New Year’s resolutions since she will not. Here we go:

1. By end of first week of January, drop Gay Twink off at the Potterick chateau to stay for the winter to make curtains.

2. Hire experts to fix structural problems. (Cuz can go work for VantheMan.)

3. End all travel in 2023 in order to oversee and help in all work at the chateau.

4. End all shopping in 2023.

5. Donate Ardwhore vase to Emmaus.

6. Give panelling to Vantheman.

7. Give up drinking.

8. Buy new teeth for the tree chopper.

Perfect, but I need her to stop wallpapering and decorating too, then its really complete!
