| So many hilarious comments I can’t comment on all. Between Hannah’s monikers, CQ’s and CAM’s shots, and CAM’s and everyone’s logical questions with regard to freezergate and Darlene’s ever changing stories and revision of history, as well as hilarious Chortle’s, Eyedunno’s and everyone’s commentary, it’s all spot on and too funny for words. I love how everyone spots all the little inconsistencies of Darlene’s tales.
No idea why two screenshots showed up. I guess some glitch really loves that expression of Darlene’s. It is funny. |

Chortle
Was it this face, Chortle?
That’s one of her truly happy magical expressions, lol. She’s talking about pies here after all.
Haha! I see Italian got it too. |

| QUOTE (Scarlet66 @ 29/11/2023, 07:42) Im so embarrassed for her, imagine getting so excited over making a kindy craft advent calendar for your grown ass husband.
So she is done with Christmas preparations now, time to sit back and do nothing again. Oh its so magical!
It’s so cringey, Scarlet. And she’s does it with such bad grace. Even had to have a “bath” after to recover. (A CQ bath, lol). Darlene is so inept at crafts that she doesn’t have any understanding of double-sided tape.
Her whole coffee calendar concept is too stupid for words. Basically, she just picks Steve’s coffee for him that day, and he could easily change it if he wants. All the coffee pods are right there. It’s not like there’s a limited supply and they’re being rationed. I don’t get it. |

|  CAM, that screenshot! Darlene’s expressions are magical. They always express the opposite of what she’s saying. It’s like some sort of sleight of face, lol.
Anyway, the 49 year old woman who’s stunted in her verbal expressions has the same issue with her writing. Anyone want to read Darlene’s Dear Diary entry? I mean, it was meant for us to read. Spoiler: It’s not that exciting and she’s writing down everything she’s saying in video. Also, it’s hard to distinguish Andrew from Steve. She writes as though Andrew was in the military. Of course, whoever was in military caused her anxiety. Nothing in how “he/him” must have felt to be away at Christmas.

| Glad you’re both through with the surgery, Sophia and Bubbe. Recovery takes time and patience, so don’t do too much too soon. Rest and recuperate.
Hope everyone who celebrated had a great Thanksgiving. (Darlene thinks more of talking about her sofa than wishing her American viewers a Happy Thanksgiving, especially as she’s always bringing it up as a milestone for her Christmas decorating). No idea if she said it today, but I was astounded to see how she packed away her cushions in the bin. Stuffed in with the lid directly closed on the cushion. Maybe it’s just me, but I’d have left some room to breathe, or something like a cloth between the lid and the top of the cushion to protect the cushion. But maybe that’s not really necessary, just an idea, and Darlene doesn’t do anything extra. She doesn’t even turn the cushion labels to the back, lol.
And Darlene with her YouTube channel.
Anyway, Hannah mentioned Darlene’s April fantasies and magical thinking on her weight loss, so I went to look to do a rewatch. I’d forgotten how full of herself she was with her ideas for losing weight while still having her “sum’thin sum’thins” (she actually used that term in that video too). Well, how did that system work out for Darlene. You be the judge.
April:  November: 
I’d say having those “four” Oreos she mentioned after dinner every evening didn’t work that well. |

| Okay, to be fair Darlene used “when” correctly in one instance in her voice over.
 But that had to be a fluke.  She really doesn’t know. Someone help her!  |

Thanks for the inspiration!!
It's beginning to look alot like Christmas, In Ontario, take a look at a Peek Inside, anger she tries to hide , all the while she puts on quite a show
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, junky treats galore,
All of the cheap decor, shoved on her drab main floor, she always complains when there's a bit of snow
Pat and Andrew are having fun, while Darlene is having none,
But Steve doesn't know where his relative goes and that's a curious thing
All the while Darlene is wishing for rise to start again
Hahahahaha!
So funny, WF. I sang it to the original tune. |

| Yes, “everything happens for a reason” is another of Darlene’s vacuous phrases. She thinks she’s being deeply philosophical as she insists that she “always” says it.
Also, “the girl” for the sales associate or assistant. How nice! There’s just something belittling about calling someone who’s working in a store “the girl”. Just say the salesperson, or anything else! Whatever happened to saying the “store clerk”? Maybe that’s too dated for DarTikToc. I’d bet Darlene has similar names for everyone who happens to work in a store, or looks after and educates her son.
Ah! Darlene the grammar Queen shows up again with her “whenever I was a child”.
Her voice is getting worse. Or maybe Darlene would prefer “more worse”.
Also,
Oh, Darlene’s “friend” is definitely Sarah, Trixie. And Darlene bought friend Sarah a cheap blanket as a gift. |

| Speedy recovery wishes to Sophia, Bubbe, and anyone facing health issues or having surgery soon. Also Itworks, who may have to face another surgery again in a few years. I wish you all a smooth transition from anesthesia after as well.
As for Darlene, a good householder YouTuber would have shown a little bit more of her deck snow removal, but nope, Old Darlene has to hop over to her boring Elf planner that no one’s interested in. (I’m calling her Old Darlene because she kept saying Old Winter). Good point on the low railings, Kayla. They should have left more space at the bottom for cleaning. But Darlene acts like she’s just moved to Canada and none of these convenient tweaks for dealing with the Canadian climate occur to her. The vagaries of seasonal weather still surprise her after all. I’m surprised they get their snow tires done.
I had to laugh at Darlene saying she was ready “to shove everything back” in her Christmas Crap bin. No idea why she was so impressed with herself for her organization because everything was shoved in the bin when she packed it last year as well. The way the bin was packed up for storage showed how over Christmas she was at the time. She actually used the runner Sarah gave her to wrap up the framed photo! Of course the runner was all creased. But Darlene doesn’t bother about creases. Just pull a runner out of a bin and lay it on the table. All the other decor crap will smooth it out. This is not the work of a professional homemaking YouTuber.
Yes, CAM, so true. All that juvenile decor is for her alone. Stuffed woodland creatures dressed up as people? And one being identified by Darlene as her father? That’s some way out there Christmas decor. But Steve didn’t even know part of his Christmas decor was a box of remains from his dead relative. He must have been thinking that was just some box from Michael’s Darlene picked up, lol.
Now she’s concerned about the correct way to refer to two mice. Should it be a mice couple or a mouse couple? Darlene should master “whenever” vs “when” before she takes up more complicated grammar, lol.
Ugh, yes! The on camera blubbering is absurd, and nauseating, Also, cringe. 
Pat is having fun and Darlene is having none, lol. She’s all alone decorating her house with mouse/mice couples. |

Just select all the photos you want to post from your photo album at the same time, or keep going back to the upload function to add more photos before posting the comment. That’s what I do. Testing under a spoiler with some old favorites. I selected all at the same time.
Love your Villeroy and Boch selections. Now that’s a tiered tray. V&B is quality.
CheapAssMustard
I love the Kahler Hammershoi vases and candle holders. I’ll take some of those!
Why doesn’t Darlene have any taste at all? No sense of aesthetics or style. Sometimes you have to go for style over sentiment. Darlene goes for sentiment every time. Like the PW tablecloth. Not to mention the cutesy stuffed animals and birds that she seems to think are alive.

| Kayla, you’ve brought your grandparents and family to life for us with your stories of them and their reactions to Darlene. They are Bakers too.
As for Darlene, is she really going to put out the sacred PW tablecloth wrinkled like that? She won’t even steam it or maybe de-wrinkle it in the dryer? I mean, it has so many memories woven into it that it should get more respect, lol.
For someone who’s doing all this organizing and who has so many notebooks, how can she forget a box of decor? And her reminder labels on the boxes look anything but organized.
QUOTE (Pond Scum @ 10/11/2023, 13:12) Is it Winter? Did I miss thr memo about Fall being over?
Also, spy the MILLIONS of B&BW candles she has now.
No, Pond, it’s still fall in DarLand. Darlene doesn’t want to rush the seasons although she’s been window shopping for Christmas for weeks now. |

QUOTE I'm no expert about Canada, but I know Darlene does it no justice, especially during her favorite month of the year. She thinks she's showed us why it's her favorite month, but she hasn't. She had maybe one or two brief shots of nice foliage.
Maybe I’m expecting too much, CAM, but I think perhaps Darlene could show her area in Canada a little better, apart from the seasonal drive along the highway or road, and also represent her country with a bit more than reading the Wiki version of the Canadian Thanksgiving. I don’t particularly know how, but then, I’m not a YouTuber so I don’t have to be clever enough to keep the people viewing my channel engaged. She never even shows the outside of the stores she goes to! Just anything to give an idea of her area. Oh, never mind, I can look it up on Google street maps, lol. I found that lake she goes to with the swings, and got to see more of it that Darlene could ever show.
QUOTE Did you catch Darlene referring to this or that "piece" of her fall day-cor? Like she was walking viewers through her collection of museum quality antiques instead of mass-produced junk,
Lol, only after you mentioned it. I can’t listen to her voice (she really needs to get that checked out) so this I have to “hear” Darlene.
“Pieces”!? My, how the “polyester rodents” are elevated, lol. |

| QUOTE (Trixie27 @ 30/10/2023, 22:54) Considering Darlene loves fall and was so excited for it to arrive, what have we seen in Vlogtober that relates to fall? That B&BW haunted house candle holder she got on clearance and trots out each year and some dry, dead leaves from a foot away. Anything else could have been filmed any time of year.
Then she has the nerve to say there’s too many fun activities for kids so they get burned out, where are all the fun activities that Darlene claims to enjoy during fall? Wandering around stores and buying pumpkin spice coffee creamer are the only things I see her doing.
Exactly, Trixie. I was thinking today how much more drab and uninteresting Darlene’s channel is now. What is the point of having a YT channel showing your life as a Canadian family homemaker when you don’t show very much of any surroundings in your part of Canada, nothing about the seasons, nothing related to Halloween, fall, October, any of the topics that would be of interest with a channel in her genre. Predominantly cooking videos are for food channels, but cooking, shopping and groceries hauls could be included as part of some wider content, but not for the entirety of almost every video. Apart from that her coffee chats are boring and dreary and she looks haggard and dirty most of the time. Her hair on her last is practically glued together.
Yet her subscribers still praise any crumb she throws at them, hardly ever questioning, never seeming to doubt.
How Darlene, her YT channel and her tiny flock of devotees still hang in there is baffling. You’d think she’d just have gone away by now. She has so little content. Now she’s talking about coming back with another food video of her repetitive cooking.
Actually, I think she may have thought she put out something really worthwhile with her last video as she says she hopes she helped her viewers “pass the time”. Really, pass ten minutes? And listening to her raspy voice going on with her vacuous ramblings? It’s a punishment to listen to her. Maybe it takes some particular sort of personality to find her content interesting and to actually comment and say “thank you for the lovely coffee chat” as one did. And from her photo a young one who says she’s off to work! Oh, the irony. I just don’t get it. |

She’d look very good, once she had a personality transplant, of course. But even her face on the Buddy looks happier on a slim body. It could be how she’d look if she did both - lost the weight and had the personality transplant!
