I watched a few minutes of Tomaz videos in the past... I believe it was a video in which he explained how he ended up at The Chateau.....and then scenes in CD when he was presenting the rooms he decorated -- DId SJ complain about the hallways being clogged with things??? --- Never enough closet space LOL

God Brenda needs to get a life. She's always rubbed me the wrong way. She's blocked me on facebook when I told her off last year. Tomaz is annoying, but he did redo the entire laundry room and worked more than sir snorts alot ever did. I mean lazy ass Stephy couldn't even get her laundry room organized in the 16 years she was there? Really? Talk about pathetic.

A way a person dances says much! LOL

the Tack room = Potts app
Are other rooms on there? I guess I should go look myself. Lazyazz! It's possible Potts is listing it on Booking himself? If he owns it? I wonder if he does that, does he pocket the $? Or does SJ get the $ as part of his "non-spousal support". :rolleyes: I will NEVER understand that, other than maybe she's super closeted and guys like Potts and Nick thought they could turn her and now they pine for her forever and I COULD understand that. :rolleyes:

My guess on this would be that whatever the 'rent' actually is, it's deliberately a get-out/cover for Marie to be deemed self-employed rather than an employee. Something along those lines anyway.

Further to that, as a sole trader how she can claim to have at least 3 clients is a mystery as she doesn't want to do any actual jobs at all, other than her insipid jam jar atrocities.

It's all very hazy ....
It’s all very lazy…(edited because wtf spell check-first ‘las’ then auto correct to Sylvia?)

Ryan is looking for another place to crash...for sure..I if where them i would be very quiet...

When i look at teabag and the Fleuris...one thing comes to mind..they are both making a fool of Fanny Flash..teabag with the peacocks and putting Fannys intro under it..and mr Fleurie with his behavior towards voluntairs...It is like putting a needle on a sour place...very delicate..but very apparent..


I think there is also a bit of genes involved..more reason to interfere with your childrens diet..

I seen maybe one of his youtube videos last year sometime, but wasn't interested in him for some reason.... can't recall what he was doing but I know half the video he was super close up to the camera. And it was just him in the whole thing, hence Life of Ryan???

Curious, the die-hard religious supporters of Trump managed conveniently to overlook his porn-related adulterous deeds. Best explanation was he's not an adulterer because Obama was a Muslim, persecuting us. 🤡
I wonder how Jarvis' supporters justify their sweetness and light vision of somebody who loves her Daddy's pornographic paintings? I think probably the Gibbons syndrome, whereby anybody who documents reality, like Tomas, is ridden out of town on a proverbial stake.
Not a good dynamic.
@purejuice now why would you assume those Jarvis supporters are also Trump supporters.

Sorry but Stepfending. I think you need to read your own attached image text.
She didn't stop people from leaving the house.
She didn't provide wage as such but full board is taxable income in France.
She didn't use violence or threats.
She didn't withold identity documents.
She didn't limit contact with outside world.
She didn't force work.
There is no way what Stefanny was doing would be considered slavery in France but she might be guilty of several other offences as an employer.
This is just like volunteering to work with domestic violence advocates. Always some abuser saying they didn't do everything on the list. So they aren't an abuser. No meeting one qualification on the list still qualifes. These people have no housing, no food if they don't do her required work that she earns a profit from. They have no transportation from a isolated location without public transportation. Since they are not paid they may or may not have any funds to leave of their own free will. So yes it is slavery.They are all on travel visas so they are not legally allowed to work in France. She is not paying wages or required taxes and insurance. Forcing them to work in rodent infested unsafe conditions. You like an average wife beater can try to minimize the act but it still meets one of the qualifications so therefore it's still slavery.

Many beautiful, big and historical chateaux are restored in France with the help of the French state, the French Regions and towns. Many of these castles are owned by French people and French families. Some (a majority actually) have to open their chateaux for tourists and had to transform them into luxury hotels/gites to survive and keep maintaining these beauties.
It's been the case for almost 40 years now. Maybe more.
May I ask what is your favorite book about la France profonde? I'm very very interested in your take on this.

(Mine include two of the top 10 best books I've ever read:
Amazon product

I enjoyed this one very much too.

And this wonderful classic piece now nearly 40 years old from Francine du Plessix Grey on her family:

Re cleaning - I mean where would you start?


He always takes the van on his weekends away.
yes sorry that was badly worded. I meant does that apply if he goes away in his campervan every w/end and if it is only his campervan that is parked up there the rest of the time.

Well you must roll them differently then they do in my part of Canada. Do you use filters?
And sorry for the stupid glitch promise I am not indulging in the wacky tabacky!
I do indulge, don't panic it's legal in California where I live and other civilized places nowadays. But those weren't hand rolled joints. Those were filtered cigarette butts. Big difference!

Maybe he doesn’t need an apartment if he’s sleeping in hers 👀
Like a previous post stated, "That train has left the station." Have you been keeping up?

On the notes about this scholarship to the fashion institute? I thought a scholarship just meant 'Help with fees'. Not every Scholarship covers everything. Take for example the Scholarships that Stormzy is 72 years old's doing for Black kids at Cambridge. Ok it amounts to 18K a year, covers Tuition fees and some living costs. Apparently doesn't mean the winner can't also get the University's own Bursaries, which apparently runs to 3.5k a year, so obvs doesn't cover Tuition fees or much of the other costs. Whether the final qualification is worth anything anyway, that's different.

I know none of them, sorry.
But Leroy-Ladurie would be my choice. A great historian and writer. And Middle-Age is my favorite time.
I'm sorry, I meant might you recommend a book you've found truly enlightening yourself, not the ones I've read?

I hadn't heard that they had another baby...I did hear (on here) that she was pregnant again but never saw or heard proof...
I noticed in the last vlog they published that she had a long shirt on and it looked like something was going on there but they hadn’t said anything. And I wondered....

Can't find the post to quote, 1000 pardons. But it is possible that one's Mummy doesn't give one birthday presents and sends one away at Christmas because one's Daddy spoils one rotten.
Watching today, the hanging of Daddy's painting in which Daddy is rogering.....Mummy? In one's boudoir? Struck me as much more than sad.
The painting too is odd. The "cartoon" aspect others have noted is of the icon school of painting -- flattening, silhouetting, etc. the major purpose of which is objectification. Don't need to go too art history school on that.
It's the first birthday shown in vlog for Stephanie. Gerry and mummy on her bed. 152.

Can't comment on today's vlog haven't seen it.

And now the unscrupulous High Priestess of Greed is fishing for more money from the French Heritage Society... :rolleyes:

But not everyone's on the scrounge... Anna and Peter (Château La Croix Honnet) stated in their last vlog that they don't believe in asking other
people for money to renovate their home through Patreon or BMAC. Other examples: 'Château Memoirs' and the Château de la Grifferaie.
One of the last videos from Chateau de la Grifferaie he stated they were looking at Patreon to help pay for repairs/maintenance.
