How can you tell a pre-scheduled write up? It stinks, like stale cheese. Can you smell it? Do you know we pre-schedule so much of our lives without really knowing it? Appointments for tomorrow, the day after, the week after, the month after, the year after. Fine for business, but have you noticed how the same pattern has slowly but surely entered the home?

That is how intense the entire episode I watched got me involved. I hate snakes, everyone knows that but I sat through and watched open mouthed and they slithered and she caught some and opened the ..... oooooooooooooh! o.k I wonder how many people in my world, the ones who claim to be totally traditional would do a quarter of the stuff this woman does? Just wondering.
