I REALLY hope it's Candice. A whole lotta HGs will be going into panic mode.

I've resigned myself to the fact that Howard is going home, and it's ok. He's going to be fine. I think it's going to start to get very entertaining now as the HGs get picked off one by one, each of them flabbergasted that they've been lied to by the rest. Maybe, if they have any brains, they'll come to the realization that they've been "played".

Janis, I completely agree with everything you said. Helen is one of the most petty characters I have ever seen, and I have a sneaking hunch that SHE is racist. She doesn't verbalize it, but I just don't see any rationale for targeting Howard for "lying" when they all lie, including her! As we all know, it's part of the game.

She is really very very ugly on the inside. She'll probably win, and I don't really care because it doesn't impact me in any way. The only good thing about her winning is that it'll mean that Helen won't win. I can no longer stand either one of them.

She sunk to the deepest depths, AFAIC, when she made the comment about slitting Elissa's throat and passing her around to be raped. I liked Amanda in the beginning. I thought she was funny. I was mistaken.

Anything could be true, but I seriously doubt he said that to her. Amanda is every bit as crass as Spencer, so it wouldn't surprise me that she'd make something like that up. She has no class. What kind of person gives a description about someone's genitalia to others when they supposedly "love" that person. Is that normal these days?

Arryn is 22. She's not a child and giving her a pass because she's young doesn't even make sense. She's old enough to vote, go into bars, join the military, sign contracts and "model" with barely any clothes on (and completely naked and exposed, if she so chooses). She's a racist AND a bully! I taught my kids that they were responsible for their words and actions starting when they were toddlers. If Arryn doesn't know by now that she's responsible for her words and actions then it's high time she learn that lesson. BUT no lesson can teach her how to FEEL. The way she feels about those who don't conform to her own view of who's superior is despicable. SHE is despicable. All the education in the world isn't going to change that.

LenLen, I'm not understanding what you're saying.

Thank you for posting that link! Very touching.

NYRose, I've been wondering if part of the division started as a rivalry because of the pageant thing, and then escalated from there. I don't know. I really know nothing about that whole pageant world because, well, I think it's stupid.

Exactly!

Please make sure the statue is not in the bright sun. For obvious reasons. No, I hadn't heard. My deepest sympathy. I am so embarrassed that I did not know.

Um, I suppose I could do that. Should I hold back some funds for the inevitable request for the other sibling DingDong?

Marty, I will TRY to find a charity for the rescue of dwarf rabbits, but I'm really not sure I've ever seen such a thing. Slugs, yes. Dwarf rabbits, not so much. Sorry.

Thank you much, Hawknose. I feel better now. Maybe even good enough to go to the state fair and try again. I've even got a name all picked out............JAWS 2!

GingerSnaps, I'm going to do some research and see if I can find a slug rescue group to donate to, and I will make a sizeable donation in Twinkie's name. (((Hugs)))

I thought I had everything just right. I had treated and tested the water. But he started failing very quickly and all of my efforts to save him were futile. After we recovered from the initial shock of losing a family member, I suggested we cremate him, but my husband forbid it. He said then he'd be craving fish and Jaws was hardly enough for a meal for one person, let alone the whole family. So we ended up sending him to his watery grave down the commode. Every time I needed to use the facilities I was reminded of the horrible thing I had done and eventually we ended up selling the house and moving elsewhere. Years of grief therapy, and I'm still not over it.

Poor Petey.

I bet he was cute. What happened to him?

I've never ever told anyone this before, and I'm telling it to you, Marty, in confidence.......I think I may have killed Jaws when I cleaned his bowl. Maybe those state fair fish prefer dirty fishbowls and he just couldn't take the OCD way I had of cleaning his bowl every week. I feel better now that I've confessed, but I'd still prefer if you kept this between you and me. K, thx.

You took the words right out of my mou....er....keyboard.

Heartbreaking! This brings back all of the sadness I felt when I lost my goldfish Jaws. It's been over a decade, but feels like it was just yesterday. I miss the way he used to blow me kisses every day when I came home from work. I know his love for me was every bit as strong as my love for him. He was a rescue. I saved him from a little bowl at the state fair. But, you know, sometimes I wonder just who saved who. I need a few minutes alone. Be back later.

I'd like to hear Helen's response when she's out and hears/sees Aaryn's derogatory comments toward her.

I completely agree, classicironman!
