Wow, I'm surprised there's anyone left who wants to live in your country if that's how they treat people. Talk about kicking someone when they are down.My friend gets very angry when talking about political things like this and she's a calm person; All about the wealth being sucked upwards to the top level and bugger anybody else. Sorry if I"m putting my foot in it but I have never got my head round the USA healthcare situation. Sounds like you need some good luck and I hope and wish it showers down on you soon.

Oh @MidCenturyMadOne I hope this storm does not head your way!
House temperature got to 16C I kept thinking (with three heavy layers) how do they stand it there at LaLande. I remember her saying she likes it around 15C. Torture to me!

Beautiful words. And yes I do hope and pray Annalise realizes she can do this. I’ve lost 60 lbs and I’m 69 years old. So if I can do it so can she. Go on Weight Watchers ! It’s easy. Do it before Old Dans eye turns to some fancy London twiglet he’s filming for. You know he’s very excited about this new venture. Then there’s LaJarvais . I’d love to have a hidden camera in her boudoir

I am in Atlantic Canada. I’m not sure where it is currently as I didn’t have TV to check the weather. Typically hits Newfoundland & heads for the UK or Europe.

So now she’s hawking snotty snorts videos in her channel. Good God! Guess not a huge crowd interested in table settings.
Look I am the first to adore a beautiful table and love to set one. But this is like he’s just discovering all of this for the first time.
he need to branch off and give some meatier content if he wants to attract viewers.

Medicare for all. This should not be happening in a wealthy country. I am so sorry you are going through this, it’s a nightmare.

We should do the same in her comment box. If we want him out of there we should be complementing and fawning over him and forgetting her. A narc won't share her limelight. He'll be sent packing faster than we can say "Philip Janssen is a star!"

We'll I'm considered a larger lady and my husband said looking at LaJarvis, he finds her utterly sexless. I think Annalise and Dan have a strong and secure relationship. They've moved here probably with not much behind then financially and it's a long hard slog, been there done it. We took the leap like them with a house the needed doing top to toe with no jobs to come out to. They'll be fine, they're a lot younger do the move than we were. All Dan needs to do is get his home:worklife balanced and not run to the tune of LaLande too much.

It won’t be the madam in charge of the brothel, more like the hangers on that keep coming back.

You forgot also the rodents chewing on the wires.I cannot imagine having real trees up for so long. Knowing them not one person is in charge of watering. Maybe they think because it is so cold in there that it is half frozen.

well i can answer that one..because it costs a fortune to heat a chateau...actually you never can...there is always draft, huge rooms..we have the place...but i certainly wouldnt buy one.. .we also move out in winter..we celebrate christmas in the big house..thats great fun...we heat the whole chateau up to 15 degrees..otherwise you get damp , problems with the parquet, artwork and the furniture..but i find 15 degrees a bit cold..so we move out into a cottage..most people do that btw..there is in these days nothing nice about living like that...you are never finished..always dust..draft and things that needs to be done..it costs a fortune to run...the fun thing is you have a lott of space..its very nice in summer..lotts of people can come and stay..i like the walks with the dog.in our own park...have to say its all very muddy these days..Most people think a chateau is a fairytale...its not..its a lott of worries and the work never stops..Btw i have never been to someone who lives like Fan...Chateaux are not built to live in in winter..most owners in the past went to the city in winter...to a much more comfy house..

Fans farmhouse could be very comfy in winter..put some doors in that enfilade..make sure the out doors fit..and close well...put new windows in and proper heating..she needs heating that can be separated..keep the livingrooms warm..the rest less..woodburners in stead of the fireplace..a fireplace only warms up the sky...but her thoughts are on another place...so she doesnt wanne spent..every chateau has heating isseus...why do you think they sell them all...

You mean unless it's Stephanie having a affair with Phil? But let's move on
[/QUOTE]
I think it is different because Dan & Annalise have 2 young boys. They are a family. Suggesting two single people are having an affair is very different than suggesting someone who is committed to their life partner and Mother or Father of their children is having an affair.

A mean person suggested to me my husband was playing away because he was working long hours, when my boys were young. He was not, he was working extra hours to help pay the mortgage (when interest rates were 20%) And anyway he has too much integrity to do that. BUT THIS SUGGESTION STILL HURT ME. Comments like that can break up families.

At some point, everyone will require healthcare…everyone. Some may be healthy for years and not see a doctor, but eventually age catches up. And in the US, if someone is sick and needs a doctor, they can go to the Emergency Room. They can’t be turned away if they can’t pay…doctors take the Hippocratic Oath (do no harm). But someone else is paying for it. It’s a weird combination of caring for others in a capitalist system. Many are afraid that if you put cost controls or caps on drugs or procedures, it will stifle or hinder innovations, research, and medical breakthroughs (they say without the money and financial gain, there’s no incentive to innovate). That’s why I always thought the US Affordable Care Act (ACA) was a good compromise. Everyone was required to have health insurance, and the plans had to be of a minimal standard of care. You had the choice of going with your own insurance company, or participating in health care exchanges that pooled people together to get the best rates. It kept insurance companies in business, and in theory made plans more affordable for everyone with the exchanges. In theory, it was fair for everyone because, at some point, everyone needs healthcare. But, since it was passed, congress has effectively gutted the ACA. Without an “individual mandate” requiring everyone to have insurance, there’s not enough healthy people participating to help offset the cost of unhealthy people on the plans. So, we’re essentially back to where we were before.
