This is so laughable. Really this is all you got? Sure, I hate that very wealth people waste money, while other people starve (looking at you Elon), but this just isn't it. Just about every upper middle class person buys high end pots, never mind someone of her status.  So stupid.

Guaranteed, Le Creuset's sales are going to get a sizeable bump.

My mom has some cookware from Le Creuset and it is an investment, yes, but one that, with proper care lasts generations. VP Harris, from all accounts, is a serious cook and many serious cooks own cookware from Le Creuset.

Did these right-wing media outlets put the same energy into reporting on the dude who once occupied the WH that had gold toilets and and taxidermy on the walls of his homes? Same guy who went golfing damn near every weekend at tax payer expense?

One of their Dutch ovens is on my wishlist. Honestly, I'd like to buy this for my mom when the price is right, but I am looking for a sizeable one which would be $300-400 and there are currently a few other things on the list that take priority right now.

Someone made a joke that those in the right-wing always try to relegate women to only the kitchen but when a women actually expresses joy at doing something in an actual kitchen, it's still not right enough. Pfft.

I've never understood the logic of that type of right-wing criticism.  People are poor so we shouldn't buy expensive things, but we should support poverty by opposing an increase to the minimum wage, not allowing healthcare coverage regardless of income, and defund efforts to improve education in economically depressed neighborhoods?

In other words, the critics would say, don't offend the poor by spending money, when you can oppress them with legislation.  Illogical

As many on Twitter were quick to point out. I guess he filed using his in-laws' address. (And Josh Hawley, Nazi-sympathizing representative of Missouri, actually lives in Virginia; again, he used an address of a family member... The address loophole needs to be closed. But it won't be.)

    • Haha, love to hear it, and thank you! Yeah, I just write down thoughts/notes as I'm watching in this viewing journal I'm keeping.  So, you get my raw, honest thoughts in the moment without me having to go back and remember or curate anything.

        Watros is great, and I've liked her from the beginning, so I'm excited to see her evolve and shine even more as Annie continues to descend. I'll keep an eye out for that scene.  I have to say, Rick cracks me up, there are times when he makes jokes and you can tell the actor is having fun with it and cracking himself up. He's endearing. Let me suffer!    So funny how big Josh's hair is in the 80s. Sign of the times, I guess.   I can't wait to finally see the Sonni storyline and watch a younger Michelle Forbes shine. It's on my list, I will go back in time eventually and do this  
    • This was late 1993, right before Roger is shot. 
    • Haha I guess so, and in this recent case, Alan absolutely deserved it (many times over, honestly).
    • It's hard to remember, as Holly and Blake always seemed to be on the outs over something.
    • Ohhh yes, these were exciting!  What year was this?  Another added bonus, watching Tangie lurk around like a thief with that black beanie.

      I'm happy to hear I'm not alone in my thoughts over Gilly's exit and Vivian's first and likely only contract storyline. It was just a shame. On one hand, I'm glad they decided to finally write for this family (as Gilly was sorely underused in 1995), but then on the other... that was what they decided? Sure, it was a bit soapy, but oh so gross. They could have come up with something better.
    • Women slapping guys is a little more common.  I grew up with CBS, so it doesn't seem strange to me. If you got a slap, you usually really deserved it.
    • That could be it too. I just remember a slap at some point. That would have been around when she was made at Holly for "ruining" her one-sided relationship with Alan Michael. I don't know if you will be getting to 2000 (if you do - buckle up!) but there's a character who was intended to be Stacy.
    • Agree with all of this. They use stuff like the redecoration and the party as major events and nothing comes of it. Kyle/Claire is of no interest to me because Kyle has already been deeply in love with Lola and summer so his devotion to Claire is more of the same. And Claire is a character that came from a nonsense rewrite and now is presented as Little Miss Innocent, her dark past swept away.That charm bracelet of Nikki's must weigh a ton. The list of grandchildren seemed endless. The thing is, most of them are offscreen and ignored. Victoria seems like a neglectful parent. Was Dylan mentioned? Another dumb rewrite character. Not only is the show hampered by so many vet charcters, TPTB don't seem interested in venturing into new areas with them. Cole was brought by but there hasn't been any dramatic story that could impact on Victoria? What had he been doing all those years? So many characters w/o stories talking about businesses we never see.  
    • I thought it was Sherry Stringfield, but maybe it was before Blake slept with Ross. 
    • Thank you for the great background and summary - very helpful!  Yes, very odd they never brought her back, but at least J mentioned her, so not truly forgotten. Ah interesting, I guess I never realized that CBS was a bit more conservative/old-fashioned in a way, at least pre-2000 or so. It's funny, I wrote that about slapping, and then a few episodes later, Vivian storms into the Spaulding mansion and slaps Alan. It's like I spoke it into existence.
