hanging out with ellen and dr. phil......

ok, so in my quest to complete this afghan, i sat on the sofa with my knitting.....and watched the second half of dr. phil....and all of ellen.....both appeared to be reruns....as the audience in dr phil had on sweaters with fur collars......and ellen did a very special valentine's segment......but since i am so rarely home for daytime television.....i watched anyway.......dr. phil's topicoftheday was prenups.....and he appeared to have covered all the bases.....with a couple whose male partner would not sign a prenup that excluded him from the nest egg the female had set aside for her children's education.....he could have half of everything else, but not that....and this chump wouldn't sign, even though he claimed to not be in the marriage for her money.........hmmmmmm......the audience booed and hissed at that guy......it was great television.......and then there was a wealthy woman, whose even wealthier husband tobe showed up with a prenup after the wedding invitations had been sent and the wedding arrangements made.....and she refused to sign because of the way he tried to bully her into doing it....and because he wanted her to pay only half of all their expenses even though he was moving into her house and he was selling his own house for a huge profit..........and because his house was his before the marriage, that was excluded in the prenup....as was anything he would earn during their marriage.......what fool would have signed that?......he sounded like a semi-spounge who had lots of assets because he hoarded them......and then came ellen.........who surprised a couple with 2 young children and one on the way...with as valentine's surprise......she brought a picnic snack for them to eat while she cleaned their house and set out take-out supper and champagne......and even brought along rod stweart to serenade.......the part where ellen cleaned house was priceless.......as she came across their liquor cabinet.....and poured herself a huge glass of gin.......and stuffed the kids toys under the sofa.....and tried her hand at their ski machine.........and even looked inside the mamma's purse.....i guess i am easily amused.......but i digress from the afghan.......i am sewing on the last 4 panels....i say last because i am not making any more....if this afghan is not yet big enough to suit....then the recipient will just have to skrunch down underneath it until it is big enough........maybe if i make the fringe extra long.................
