That place is a disaster! Why hasn't she had the tile grouted? Shit everywhere! Where do guests go?Blast From The Past:
These two posts reminded me of the state of the laundry room when Diesel decided to take a duvet apart. It was hilarious, and I remember that Mummy was not at all pleased when it was mentioned in CD.
Here is Selmar's vid for anyone who missed it:
Good work, Texas gran.Hello TL aunties and uncles!
Baby Potpourri wishes to say HI from the nice big crochet blankie his Texas nanna made for him!
He had a little photoshoot at Central Park near the Alice in Wonderland Statue today after brunch.
He was such a good boy today for not pooping until we got back home!
His grandpa is still not convinced that he needs a set of fine China, but he is bound to inherit the family ritual Kiddush cup and plate!
Thanks for all your warm and positive thoughts.

Sorry for the derail. Thanks for the new thread, Auntie @ComtesseRose! Now back to Lalande!
Update 2023Just as a reminder, this is a list of all the projects Stephanie has mentioned, planned, or been working on at the Heap in the Middle of Nowhere.
I wouldn’t eat pork that underdone recipe for disaster. Similar to pink chicken.I've never eaten pork that under done...
Narcs never quit. (The one in my life discharged himself from the hospital last week. The visiting hospice doctor walks into the house and tells him if you blow up at me I'm leaving -- after he's chased off all the nurses and health aides by screaming and telling them they're stupid.)I had not seriously thought of this possibility before. Can any of the tattlers with narc knowledge say whether this would be typical narc behaviour?
Classic LaLandeI hope they're going to use that for cooking and not serve it to the guests. It'll be vinegar and if anyone drinks it they'll have a severe case of the thrupenny bits
Maybe that's why daddies loo is so horrendous - so when people get the runs from the food they don't want to use that looClassic LaLande
Is there a Ho Barbie?I believe Thrush's comment about the Bratz dolls was something along the lines of "how many jobs have they had" meaning that Barbie has been referenced in most careers. Well Thrush look in the mirror... how many jobs have you had? What is your career path? Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Twat.
I think it also says something about the guests.That place is a disaster! Why hasn't she had the tile grouted? Shit everywhere! Where do guests go?
Ohhhhh grrrrrrl. I dub you head of the Existentialist School of Lalande Scholars.As a child, when asked what he wanted to be when he grows up, do you think he said he wanted to be in show business? This may not have gone down well with his conservative parents, but maybe his grandparents indulged his dressing up games and singing with his hairbrush into a mirror? He tried the boy band route, and the drama school productions, and the strange prison drama last year, none of which have been successful. He then landed the role of weird escort to a bargain basement, self proclaimed, princess. It was probably the only offer on the table at the time.
I think he is now doing what he always wanted to do: a permanent acting job. He gets bed and board, all the shopping he wants, his faceonline, travel, sex (allegedly), an income, free rein to dress however he wants, and the adoration of the unenlightened CD fans to stoke his ego.
From his parent's point of view: he is not a financial drain on them, he is out of the country (big plus I would imagine), he has had a steady job and his own 'home' for a few years now, he is not addicted to drink (debatable) or drugs (as far as we know).
Yes, we can see that he is an obnoxious person and maybe his days at the dump are numbered, but in the meantime he has a job he loves and the longer he stays the more ridiculous he makes SJ look - which can only be a good thing in my book.
Most of her guests will be patreon cult followers. - Strep's home is lovely and she can do no wrong! they are excited to go Bocante shopping and see the dump and see the renovations. If they weren't fully engaged by the cult they would see the dump and its occupants for what it isI think it also says something about the guests.
Oh, Flaco! NYers love Flaco!Good work, Texas gran.
Now I have two heroes it makes me happy to think of enjoying life in Central Park. Flaco the Owl who escaped from the zoo after a lifetime of confinement. And Baby 'Rri. Toddlin' town.

That shelf is so dusty . . . but I shouldn't expect otherwise.Yes, and when decanted boxed wine is left, it's saved on the shelf...
It is a thing in France. In the UK we were taught never to eat pork pink, undergone. Bizarre.I've never eaten pork that under done...
