Homesteaders on TV (Wife Swap) *TONIGHT* Post here

Did he SERIOUSLY offer her 5K to sit down? I almost fell off the couch!

And tell the truth now - you planned to slaughter the rabbit, but the network wouldn't let you. Come on... I know you wanted to see the look on those prissy little girls' faces!"

Dana, You and your family are my kind of people!

Well the good thing, AJ is that they won't live too long eatin' that crap. But then our tax dollars will go to support them when they get sick.

You and your family did a great job, Dana!

Now I am in the mood for some rabbit! I propose we make a woman holding a rabbit by the ears high in the air in honor of Dana and Chuck.

I know this is overwhelming (probably going to melt down the server...) but what I really want is insight into the "final meeting" Where did they do that at? Was it somewhere in the middle? Tell Charles that I think he and I would get along just fine.

I've often wondered how people can afford that kind of a life, too. Makes me think of that one commercial where the guy has a huge house, a nice car, a big lawn... and he's in debt up to his eyeballs.

It was great!! BUT, I had to get a bit creative just to see it!!! They had some amateurish piece of locally-produced drivel instead of Wife Swap on the regular ABC Channel here -- it never fails and they are all idiots. BUT, the good news is I can get TWO ABC Channels where I'm located and the one in the other city had it on!!!!!! Wooooohooooo!!! Good thing, too, because if they didn't, I would be typing this from jail after driving my car through the front wall of the local station!!!

I, too, want to adopt Grandma!! Dana, I think you should start a tradition and have Grandma come to your house for vacation every year!! The poor thing! Actually, she's probably healthier and more active than the other females in that household will be at her age!!

AND, I for one would have decapitated the bunny right in front of them, and then turned the bloody knife on the father!! AND, can you imagine anyone not even knowing what bleach is?? I bet those girls will be the next ones putting their toilet seats in the dishwasher (you gotta check out THAT thread here on the forum somewhere!)!

I don't usually watch, but it was great!! Dana you certainly proved to them that a "country girl" can be as much (or more!) of a "lady" as any "city girl"!!

I think I missed something with the live chat some of you are talking about. Is it still going on? Where is it?

oh i was also going to that Charles hit it right on the head of the nail when he said that "in the south its disrepectful when your mother-in-law has to come in to do everything" My mother said she would of laugh in her face and left lol

WOW!! I almost peed my pants a few time laughing so hard.

Dana you have a wonderful family, I hope the HM and her DH makes some changes. I"m still in total SHOCK over how HM treated the grandma. Then to bring your mom in to cook and clean. My DD said I want to go to HM house so I can get $5,000 for just doing what I was told to do. Then she was very mad the dad didn't even know his own daughters B day.

Was that Vicky from the board that helped out?? And are you still in contact with the H family?

You did good girl!!!

Yeah, who is vicky?

You realize you would have received an additional 100points had you mentioned homesteadingtoday.com on the show ...

... still, you'll get an easy 25 if you mention us on your home page (yes, I'm shameless that way).

not always some pay cash when the bills come in. It really can be as different a life as anything you could imagine.......

I can't believe that father didn't even know his own children's birthdays, favorite foods, favorite music.... did he get ANY of the questions right?

Odd enough, though. I don't think my mom would have been able to asnwer those questions about me when I was younger. I hope I can stay plugged into my future children better than that. Sheesh!
