Looks amazing Kate. The frame would have looked nice either way, but the black paint offers a modern edge. LOVE DIY

Hello! I LOVE your Bach recaps.

ANYWAY, I’m glad Kacie got dumped, even though her limo explosion ripped my heart out. Bach should have some hotline we can call to offer condolences, y’know? SHE CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER THAN A MAN WITH RIDICULOUS HAIR WHO DROOLS OVER MODELS.

Obv it was Kacey’s batshit parents that ruined EVERYTHING, even though it’s kinda obvious that Ben’s still pretty much a 13-yr-old when it comes to romance. Like, his idea of epic dating is some scout camp adventure shit compared to Brad’s epic-scale blingfest last year, so it’s no surprise that a model with a freakish mouth and horrific sociopathy would have him utterly entranced.

If Nicki doesn’t make it in the end, I’m going to lobby ABC relentlessly to do a dual-girl Bachelorette with Nicki and Kacey. Those two just rule together.

Guilty as charged!!! Put my big foot in it just last night which in turn kept me up hours pondering the consequence and repercussions. Gosh, guess I’m not all grown up after all.

Last night was one of those memories which I will keep close in my heart forever. I remember when Whitney first arrived on the scene, she touched my soul, and I followed her through the years. Whitney’s songs were some of the first that Meghan performed that filled my heart as a mother with pride and brought me to joyfull tears time and time again.
Music has always been where I go to in times of happiness and sadness, and Whitney’s beautiful voice was always there for me in the best of times, and also comforted me through the difficult times.
It was only fitting that she was given tribute last night with grace and elegance. Gone too soon, but will never be forgotten. Her voice will live on forever.

Comment on Pet Peeve of the Week by Kevin Kitts

OK, Reese……….a well-written piece.
I am confident that all of us at one time or another have experienced or witnessed the ill-mannered actions outlined in your article.
However, I must take issue with your portrayal of NANA’s as being the prime prey of the ill-mannered.
There is no doubt that NANA’s do at times suffer the slings and arrows of those who should know better.
But these noble creatures should not be portrayed as weak and reliant on others as I fear that your article implies.
The NANA’s that I have come into contact with have been able to take care of themselves under any conditions, even extremely adverse ones.
The old saying ‘Beware of the NANA’ is not to be taken lightly.
One just has to look at the picture of the door being held open by a cute grand-daughter for her beloved Nana (and we all commend such a dutiful grand-daughter for taking such good care of her Nana) to know that if that same door had been carelessly closed by some boorish individual in Nana’s face that Nana would have strong-armed that door open and successfully made her exit without any problem whatsoever.
Turning to your own much-loved Nana, we both know, Reese, that in the event she was on an OC
Transpo bus with her arms full of packages of gifts for you and she needed a seat……….and some semi-somnolent, angry-Birds playing twenty-something guy didn’t notice her plight……….well, she would soon have her seat.
Consequently, I do think that we should give NANA’S their due as self-reliant, powerful personages who can take on the ill-mannered of our world and always come up winners.
Keep up the good work, Reese.
……….in a nutshell.
P.S. Have you and the other members of the ‘in a nutshell’ board ever considered doing a ‘George-like’ Frogger episode on Bank Street (it would be a great publicity stunt for ‘in a nutshell’……….especially if you were all arrested).
Reese, I think that you would make an excellent ‘George’……………..and I am not saying that just because you are a blonde!
