FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK.... because Bay never made it to Georgia. Amy and Nadia had lots of fun, but Bay caught bronchitis and stayed home. We talked about what Bay missed, and how nice it was to meet up in Chattanooga, and how great Bay's nails now look, but we didn't have our fun girls' weekend in Covington. Write to us! [email protected]!

Bay needs a manicure, STAT! Wait, what she really needs is a good manicure. Sure, it's not rocket science; it ain't going to save the world; this isn't the straw that breaks Mueller's case's back, but it's important to *us*. Our nails need to look good! Also, Amy teaches Bay about Georgia history, and Bay cedes a Vocabulary Vixen session to Amy. Top Secret Tourist Tip of the Week with a Tip of the Hat to The Strip Podcast! What are you guys doing for Valentine's Day? Write us! [email protected]!

If you are VERY brave, try to make Brunswick stew. (Bay is not anywhere near brave enough)

The humpback bridge really WAS jumped in a TV show!

It's been a long time, and we're back with tales of Airbnb, the Eiffel Tower restaurant, Thanksgiving, New Year's Eve, watching all of Las Vegas' famous fireworks all at the same time, and more rambling and having fun and stuff like that. Yes, we did meet Piff the Magic Dragon! And yes, he is grumpy! Hear about how much we love Jade the Showgirl, and write to us at [email protected] or [email protected]!

Very darned hard! We even earn it when we're not trying to be filthy! So after the ELK HUNT, Yamy took her BITCH of a Frenchie to Louisville for the nationals... OK, that's all the filth I can think of today. Amy is fun! Bay can't wait to cook a turkey! Vespas and pajama pants and elections and drunken giggling! Is there a K-Pop store in your town? Tell us about it! [email protected] or [email protected]!

After a nice break, we're back! We traveled a little, we shopped a little, we ate a little; we stood back and gazed in wonder at what teenagers can put away these days. (Were we ever like that? Don't answer that!) Did you win a billion bucks? Neither did we! But if we do, we're gonna be neighbors. Call us! 44-222-96269! Links:

How does junk food affect teenagers?

Bay will be an awesome neighbor. For Amy or anyone!

40th High school reunions can be ... interesting? (If you're a developmental psychologist!)

Mega Millions & Powerball are crazy ways to gamble!

The Pink Motel is a great place to stay in Cherokee, North Carolina!

French bulldogs in Louisville, Kentucky!

Online Bonus! Scroll down to the third pic and see Amy and Bay's houses side by side. (OK, really, it's Tahani's and Eleanor's houses on The Good Place. Still, it's amusing!) [Hint: Tahani's house is the palace. Bay's - er, Eleanor's house is the tinker toy next to it.]

You guys liked the drunky cast! Lots of gritty gab this week -- kids going off to school, kids needing stuff for school, kids getting student loans and work study jobs for school ... you would think we had a passel of small children, wouldn't you? But wait, there's more! Amy's patio is finally ready for its close-up, and let's all meet in Vegas for New Year's Eve!!! Too scary? Then how 'bout a little Vocabulary Vixen for your listening pleasure? Email us at [email protected]!

An extra dog!!! Yeah! Everyone loves an extra dog! Unless you're hosting Amy's former bulldog Lola, in which case, now you have to put up with your current French bulldog being kind of, well, passive aggressive. Just a little. Amy's houseguest sets off alarms! But only because Amy made him. And he won a poker tournament -- how much fun is that?! Bay saw fireworks, and we discuss how nice Knoxville is becoming, and there's just a wee bit of Vocabulary Vixen. Did that elicit a response? Oh, heck, yeah, it did! Call us! 44-222-96269!

Ring smartphone home security really works!

And that's why we really appreciate Las Vegas metro police!

Visit Sweetwater, Tennessee, for old-fashioned fun stuff!

Play poker in tournaments! It's fun!

Just a few Knoxville festivals to attend!

Oh, the trials and tribulations of owning a smart speaker! [From Amazon Prime, that is.] Amy fills us in on how her very well-spoken parrot is now communicating with the Matrix. What is AI, you ask? We don't know, but we hope Amy's credit card isn't connected! Amy's exchange student made it back to Denmark; the Vocabulary Vixen drops by, and there's a good bit of a Grits to Glitz pet update. Anyone else out there remember the brilliant podcast The Petcast? Vindication for Bay is about 10 years late, but she loves it, anyway! The Bayer company really *is* pretty conscientious -- unless you dislike GMO's... Do we need to add philosophy to our podcast? Let Us Know! [email protected] or [email protected]!
