<p>actually, astromom, “come clean” will be the operative catch phrase here if this plumber-rooter guy is able to perform a miracle and open up a stopped-up sink line. He tried for several hours last week and is coming back to open up a wall in my bathroom 
to circumvent angles in the pipe which are preventing him from cleaning out the line. The upside is a guilt-free reason to have the TV on. ;)</p>
<p>I am planted snugly in front of the TV, the show here starts in 28 min…</p>
<p>I keep glancing at the time… I can’t stand Montell Williams (or any of those shows where people get on national TV to show how dysfunctional they are–I really, really don’t care!!!).!</p>
<p>You are so cute! I didn’t picture the blonde!</p>
<p>Your son is right–you ARE pretty!!!</p>
<p>I have a face to put to a name! Pretty, blond and youthful!</p>
<p>oh, Thank you! You all got to watch 3 hours before I can…I’m just looking forward to seeing DS in the audience!</p>
<p>Hey–what’s with the dude who, immediately after you bid $800, bid $799? Did he realize that he screwed up?!! Must have been the nerves.</p>
<p>We’re watching for a Cal Tech tuition t-shirt right?</p>
<p>3 contestants so far here but I can’t watch consistently.</p>
<p>Of the 6 contestants that get on stage, which number is she??</p>
<p>She’s Jill in the red t-shirt.</p>
<p>MaryTN,
When they are bidding on each prize as it comes up, watch for Jill when she bids.
Edit: x-posted, obviously</p>
<p>astrophysicsmom, I think we were all so nervous standing in contestants row - any one of us could have made the same mistake. During breaks, we’d turn to each other and say “I can’t believe I’m here” and Drew would chat with the audience. And it moves so quickly - the breaks while taping are about the same length as the commercial breaks aired. The only long break was towards the end, when the guy to my left won his watch caught on the arm of the woman standing to his left. She looked down and had a huge scratch that was bleeding. While he was up on stage one of the pages handed her a tissue, but as soon as they finished taping that segment, the paramedic arrived and had to check her out and clean the cut. I think it took an extra 15 minutes or so.</p>
<p>Caltech tuition is on the back of my orange t-shirt, Plinko Please is on the front. (And please, never call me Jill…just a reminder it was TPIR rule that you have to use the name on your social security card - even though my driver’s license says Jillian). S is in the audience in an orange t-shirt with a math problem on the front. I was sitting by the aisle, he was next to me, so he’ll be in the second seat in from the aisle in the second or third row on the right.</p>
<p>Same sentiment here, your son was right, you are beautiful.
It is so nice to have a face go with the name.
Too bad we already know how it all ends…
And, I can’t picture you in a new house - definately go for an older one :)</p>
<p>I keep seeing your son repeatedly. He looks so honestly happy and enthusiastic!</p>
<p>I’m sure that if it were me, I’d go suddenly brain-dead up there. They say it’s always much easier at home. My family always says I should try to get on Wheel of Fortune…but instead of being amazingly good, I’d be drooling all over myself and probably choose a letter that someone else had already guessed.</p>
<p>Even though I know the rest of the story, I keep being disappointed when you don’t win!!</p>
<p>We can see your son everytime the winner runs up on stage! He’s just as cute as his mom!</p>
<p>Hey—wasn’t your hair pulled back in a ponytail when you first went up there?</p>
<p>I think I smell a winner on this prize!
Nice looking player piano!</p>
<p>I’m so glad you weren’t one of those screaming winners!!! (but I’m not surprised!) And, did you ever answer in this thread how many, exactly, are a year’s worth of cough drops? What if you are a particularly cough-y kind of person? Do you get more than a light-cougher does.</p>
