The Chateau Diaries #51 Peeing on Dan's marbles instead of polishing their own

[Marten]

What baffles me is how good these people are at making the negative comments disappear, especially Marie who does not have a Natti or a Ma to help her with the "cleaning". I have never seen negative comments about her. How does she do it? She cannot be 24 hours a day checking the messages left on YT. Maybe she is good at something after all.

Thank you for your post. Please allow me to add this, from one of Tomaz Quaresma's instagram accounts. I can't wrap my head around the before picture. It only took 16 years for an overhaul??? As I remember, his stay and the fallout from his vlog was pathetic. The only person that benefited was SJ.

Before and After - Laundry Room - Chateau de Lalande.
JUNE 8

God, this is one of your immortal finds. I'm no clean freak despite my ancient kitchen hygiene certification, but the floor on the laundry room with FOLDED LAUNDRY SITTING ON IT is a bridge too far. And it took this one little guy working, as I recall, on his own inspo, to take care of it.
I never could figure out the who what where of the persecution of Tomas, I thought he was wonderful. Was this a Brenda Gibbons Facebook execution? At SJ's direction? What grounds?

Maybe they all share the same editor(s) who logs in with their respectively accounts? There are agencys that offer social media support for chats, fb business pages, .. or a freelancers who will greatfully work for an apple and an egg

Since there is no tattlers' party tonight and it's already past 2am, I am heading to bed. Night night!

Spa de Lalande? Certainly not the HMN. He tried to cobble something together in what became FRK's "studio."

Bless you, I am as well.
Never got into the Harry Potter series. Although I have book 1 and 2 (still looking for the rest - Hardbacks with John Duddle illustrated cover *ahem*) & consider myself a Slytherclaw... *ahem*
To specify, I fear you took umbrage to my tat comment. I collect LEGO minifigure, McDonald's Happy Meal Toys, Kinder surprise figures, but all my tat & toys are stored in a toy trunk, it is not on full display in a forlorn kitchen without any purpose. I know he is not a interior designer - the proof is that Vietnamese tugboat galley he calls a kitchen - but if he had a specific shelf for his Peter Rabbit obsession, then it wouldn't assault my eyes watching that video.

No...no umbrage taken here...LOL...and my collections are kept to a bookshelf along with my Stephen King books and (oh, I fear backlash for this!!!) my romance novels...LOL...I love books, the real kind and the Kindle kind ( I have approx. 500 on Kindle...LOL) I still have a few elephants that my grandkids got me. Sadly I stopped collecting them avidly when my entire collection got smashed due to a VERY heavy outside door being blown open by a VERY strong Texas wind, back in the day.

He had a lot of help with the structural bits of the laundry room. Selmar was pissed that he was trying to take credit for it.

Oh, that laundry room gave me nightmares! I cannot imagine anyone being ok with the state of it!

That is not a real image of his hoped-for spa room...it's an interpretation kind of like the images generated by Minecraft...sorry, I've watched my grandkids play WAYYY too much Minecraft...LOL

I really have no desire to see Teabag 'polishing his coal scuttle'

Uggggh. It does seem strangely demented and Sisyphean. I don't think T is clinically sane. Me and my medical school degree -- -- diagnose drug addiction for realz but there seems to be some kind of underlying cog deficit as well.

 

[wincrasher]

I know .... so boring but ..... I see Senor Andrew is still there !
I think he has him chained to the door !

"You pay now, Señor Teabeg?" LOL

I'm 68 years old and I have a Harry Potter collection...a small collection to be sure, but a collection no less. I own all the books and all the movies and my kids and grandkids buy me things like a Marauder's Map 4 piece dinner set with real gold...it must have come from France as some of the writing on the box is in French. I also am very into the Jurassic Park movies and books. I guess I'm just a kid at heart.

We have lots of funko pops in our house. My younger son has Power Rangers, various Marvel and Spiderman characters, Sonic and Mr Bean. My elder daughter has Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts, Umbrella Academy and Stranger Things. Elder son has all the Kill Bill funkos, some Iron Maiden, Iggy Pop and Lord of the Rings. I have Jimi Hendrix Woodstock and Monterey and ZZ Top (RIP Dusty! ). My youngest daughter had some Disney princess and my little pony which she got bored of and gave to charity. She's ten and into running, gardening and rock guitar!

I used to watch a youtuber who bought Funko Pop figures just to show himself unboxing them...the man had to be extremely wealthy because he also had about 100 pairs if Nike and other name brand shoes, in protective boxes, on shelves that spanned the entire wall behind him as he filmed. He and his wife also bought pallets of returned items from Amazon just to show the unboxing. For sure he sold a lot of it afterwards but that's just crazy!

Here's an actual Doing it Ourselves video. Lalacelle should be able to compile a video like this in about a year at the rate they're going. Really enjoyed watching this guy create beautiful views inside.

I watched his videos, loved them!

I presume that it was perceived by many including SJ and BG to be having a go at Stefanny. So Tomaz had to be shot down.
