The Chateau Diaries #72 Winter is coming

I’m thinking of an expression…what is it? Oh, yes! “Like putting lipstick on a pig!”

Yes For Sure!!!

 

[elizabethrex]

So sorry to hear that!. Prayers being said.

Thank you

Excellent! Fennel delivers shikimic acid which some research has found to be effective against some corona and other viruses (and the clotting effects of the spike proteins in the vaccinations). It's worth a go I reckon.
Keep us posted on how you're doing, if you can

Amazing! I’m a herbal medicine maker and you’ve taught me something new!

OMG that live chat just about did my head in - i'd rather watch paint dry.

It seems to be the highlight of some peoples day!

Perhaps you should consult the Urban Dictionary

Hmm...and perhaps you should entertain the idea that ironic juxtaposition often serves to raise a wry smile or two.

First thing I notice about her mum is that her teeth are lovely. All orthodontic work for children under 18 is free (was she in England then?) and I should think in Norway too. But you can get treatment at any age for misalignment. There really is no excuse for that mess she has going on.
She showed a couple of very short sequences with her fam. So maybe it's not good to make assumptions. But I felt they were distant and detached. FRK feels like an orphan to me.

Afterwards she was weepy - apparently for another reason.
I am just sad after watching the whole 14+mins and I don't really know why....

Thought i was the only one.Her mom gave off strange vibes...

I remember back in early elementary, a boy moved to Edm from Calgary and was completely shunned. It all had to do with the Oilers/Flames rivalry! (Let’s-go-Oilers)!
My roots are Ukrainian/ Polish and Dad’s Irish.

Yeah, it can be VERY intense!! It's sad when a kid gets shunned because of it. Yikes.

GO Flames!

 

[oooLaLande]

Maybe. But more importantly....Wharton Willie or Shubenacadie Sam?

Oh I'm really a fake fan!
Just get this... back in the day when I was a bank teller, I ID'ed Kevin Bieska and asked what his occupation is, when he came to do a large transaction
All of my colleagues collectively freaked out!

In my defense, i had just moved to Canada a few months prior to this incident!

 

[Sunnee]

Apparently I am "sensitive". Thank you???

 

[Arfarf]

If she really said Genovian (as I have understood), it is worse than we think.

Genovia is a fictional country...

Kingdom of Genovia (Micronation) - MicroWiki

micronations.wiki

The Princess Diaries (film) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I looked that up and thought what????? But I know nothing so all I know is what me poor old ears heard.

My Canadian-born-and-raised mother just reminded me tonight that our family is celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving on Sunday! We've always celebrated both Canadian and American Thanksgiving days.

When I was in the Edmonton area last, I visited the fascinating Ukrainian Cultural Village! Heard so many inspiring stories about Ukrainians, Poles, and other Slavic people settling in the area and was played a huge part in building the prairies. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving weekend!

You too!!

 

[nuff said]

Yes, I keep waiting for the big Dan revelation…spill the beans!

View attachment 800279

Time will tell! It will be interesting to see if he even mentions his family in his bromance ‘podcast’, especially as so many of his fans have asked about them, a lot have noticed they have mostly been cut of of the daily Dan since the summer. There’s more footage of the shitoo kitchen than his own unfinished project, ironic as he only works at the shitoo 3 days per week and the rest of the week he vlogs.

 

[Sami Lee]

also is it legal to be driving and video recording? that seems quite dangerous especially for someone like Marie

Well, it's legal in the UK to have a dashcam which records the road ahead (and rear if you also have a cam in the back window.).
I suppose it would be legal to turn the dashcam to face the driver. But I wouldn't do it, i wouldn't want to distract myself.

 

[Chocolategoggler]

Thank you very much Very interesting to me as a family historian. So, much like the UK. Only last week I unearthed some ancestors whose French family name became Anglicised over the mists of time.

'Lande' then is rather like English 'Moore' /Scottish 'Muir' - a generic place name. Not such an auspicious or grand name for a chateau perhaps?

Not to derail but I do so wish I could find something on You Tube or a forum about family history. Every time I book a night school on it it gets cancelled. I am dying with curiosity about great grandparents who are not spoken about, one of which I have named the floozy (although she might not be). I've even seen where she lived on a Fred Dibnah programme!!

 

[WMGL]

On an unrelated note, did any of you Canadians follow the band Great Big Sea before they disbanded?

Great Big Sea - Ordinary Day - YouTube

Just watched the video. Loved it. Thanks. I know of Alan Doyle but hadn't heard of this group. Sad they disbanded after seeing this.

 

[oooLaLande]

Definitely not me!

Well I can only imagine Tmmy's face when I think of you dear Marquis... .. so, in my mind.. certainly not you!

Dear Stephanie, thanks for the really nice vlog tonight. In your last patreon-video at the end I saw the murano glas flower I sent to you in august stucking in a blue-white vase in the backround at your boudoire. Doesn´t it fit to the chandelier? Or did it reach to you broken? Lovely regards from Leipzig!

It has a tiny chip in it, but that can easily be repaired. But it’s a much brighter colour than the ones in the chandelier, so stood out too much with them. But it’s so beautiful that I put it in the vase!

Omg imagine having to, or choosing to explain every move you make!

 

[oooLaLande]

Amazing how …. Many newbies are hauling up old news

slow week on Facebook what ??

tattle was alive - no downtime

No doubt it’s the horrendously busy 100k Rottweiler at Facebook


kids are off limits…. Everyone’s

guess tattle is hitting very close to the bone

If you mean the FB post I posted, that was posted 7 hours before I posted it here.. not sure if that counts as old news. I mean, tattle does move at the speed of light.

The picture of Brenda, I noticed the kid after I was no longer able to edit the post. I would've edited him out otherwise.

 

[Sunnee]

I am just quietly going to say Go Canucks and move on...

Maybe. But more importantly....Wiarton Willie or Shubenacadie Sam?

 

[Kat-the-Great]

Has Selmar's number of Patreon subscribers increased?

Marie W latest vlog.

How old is she again ?

Crying because you hurt your ankle (obviously she still could walk) and the 2 dogs you are supposed to mind ran away...

Not sure it was good for her reputation to tell her viewers that she is not even able to look after 2 dogs (one being 15 year old...).

She seems so lost and vulnerable. A pinch and she falls.

Her mother is younger than I would have imagined and seems "normal". So, they met after 2 years in a pub ? Why not.

We know now she's got 1 sister more or less her age (she wished she was with her in the lovely cottage) and 2 much younger brothers.

But Lalande seems the peeerfect place for her : a fairytale chateau far from the nasty world out there.

...she loses more of her tiny brain cells with each vlog, post and whatever else she puts out online...her family should intervene...she needs help...of various types...
