My dad used to say that, as if him not hearing of (her, him, event, etc) made it unimportant.

One of the best things about GOT is the dyad relationships and they had one of my favorite ones on the show.When I've seen each of them interviewed I always liekd them. Good for them.

They rent rooms to pay the huge upkeep costs. Very very pricey but far more wonderful than any hotel.

That’s the spin off show from “The Good Wife”. Christine Baranski stars. On CBS “All Access”. Good show.
