Ashley I -------> UGH! Shoo Fly Shoo!

Sadly, no, I haven't been back for years.  I lived in the south of France when I was in my twenties, and still maintain close relationships with my friends there.  Paris is lovely to visit but if I were to live in France again, I would choose a small town in Provence.  There are a number of beautiful, charming places.  My dream is one day to own a Mas (French farmhouse) in Provence and to repair there for holidays.

Lol, that dream is still quite far away -- go to put daughter through university and probably grad school first!

I'd love to hear your impressions of Paris and the French.  

By the way, are you still in touch with Leen?  I wonder what happened to her?  I miss her too.

J'adore Paris et France, aussi.

I was there for the 3rd time this last September. I stayed the whole month. I hope to return again this year. I go to different parts each time, in addition to a few days in Paris.

Tell me about your trip

Starz, I'd love to hear about your time in France!

I went down to Carcassonne and then over to Provence and then I spent the last four days in Paris. It was absolutely amazing and beautiful and I got to eat and drink wonderful things

Where in Provence were you?

Never mind; I just saw your post about Gigondas.  What led you there?

And where in Switzerland?  I have friends in the French-speaking part.

I will send you a PM so as to not bore everybody - but tomorrow as I am calling it a day (night) now.
I love many places including Carcassonne - been there twice. I have covered a good 50-60% of France, so far.

Ooh, send it to me too, Starz! Thanks.

WOW - I just read your post GM!
My dream is to move to France! I keep exploring to find my "perfect spot".
I agree - I love Paris but do not want to live there. I want an old farmhouse (or castle) in the country. Maybe Loire Valley or further south. I like so many areas it is hard to decide, plus I haven't seen "everywhere", yet.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
French friends! I am soooo happy!

Look at this one!  It's excellent value at around $300,000 USD.  That wouldn't even buy me an apartment in Vancouver.

VERY nice, GM. My style but not my price. That is why I do not look in Provence.
Au domain.

Hi Grammarianna - I have not heard from Leen in years!  I'm so sad to no longer get her funny commentary!  I will PM you and Starz to continue the France conversation.  I would love to hear about your travels.  Did Widderwoman convert to this board?

I don't like when she cries, picks at the corners of her eyes and looks at whatever eye grit or moisture is on her fingers.  It's nasty.  Why does she do that?  She and her sister act extra silly on the show.  It's too much and I'm ready for them to be sent home.

I think she is continuously checking to see if her mascara is running from crying. She is trying to maintain the copious eye makeup. In my opinion I think the girls not wearing any look best.

Ashley I's sister was never on the Bachelor.  Lauren I just came on this reality show but divulged she did not want to be there anymore.  They are the dynamic duo of crying.  

More like  "the Dramatic Duo"

I could see it.. both very good looking, educated (I'm guessing with Ashley) superficial and shallow..

Just a way to add drama. My guess is she leaves soon as she doesn't seem to be as All over the men as perhaps they expected

The big question is:  If Lauren leaves on her own, does Ashley go with her?  I don't think this was addressed.

Hiya & tyvm Hummdrumm.  I was wondering where Lauren came from.  NOT MUCH, be she seems more 'advance' than Ashley.  Dynamic? NOT?  Duo of UGH! Y-E-S!  Ashley has the NERVE to entitle Tenley as old!  If this is the case Ashley is an OLD 'PASSED OVER' LONELY HAG!  
If I recall correctly I liked Tenley on her episode.  I just didn't care for the voice.   I don't know who she is now.  Her actions seem so unlike her past character.  And Clara is back?  *shaking head*  This show is so NOT entertaining.  At the rate it is going it has approached plain pitiful-ISM.  It's hard now, BUT I definitely couldn't stomach this show if Messy Michelle had returned
