GUNCLES

We are the The "Guncles" aka "Gay Uncles"


The "Guncles" (aka "Bill & Scout" aka "Gay Uncles") are so excited to be writing our first blog. We love Liam and Stella so much -- as though they're our own children and we feel so blessed to be a part of their lives. Plus, they're always teaching US something new! Both kids are growing up so fast. It's almost unbelievable when we look at our photo album at pictures from just a few months ago and see how much they've grown. We're excited for Stella to start walking around and to chase after her too (Liam is already quite the runner!)... We can work off a few of those extra pounds!

Good parents don't tell babies what thier sexual preferance is.Nor do they allow friends to.Guard your children always.Allow them to make up thier own minds when the time comes.Don't plan for them to Have to go to therapy

Jennifer, I saw the show today and you hit the nail and I even saw the hand flapping that WOW actually caught my eye more than paying attendion to the show. I saw my son who just turned 6 yrs old in Liam as well, and small subtle little things over a period of this season. Especially the meltdowns (my son never never enjoyed his parties age 2 and 3) he just wanted to be with us. Over SENSORY issue's threw him into a whirlwind-and thank GOD we got his diagnose EARLY and I thank GOD everyday for allowing me to explore Early Intervention-full force because our son was mainstreamed last year into kindergarten and will be moving on to 1st grade this August. But, also a GFCF diet played a HUGE---HUGE role in all of this on top of our entire family re-learning how to live with all of this! I also saw my son-in Liam just pointing to everything-instead of talking...at age 2...I truely truely hope they at least seek some type of help -because thinking "Boys are just slower" you can lose a HUGE window of early intervention!

Hi Tori And Dean,

First I'd like to say to Dean if you love Tori so much stop putting yourself in danger! Ask yourself why do you feel you have to put yourself in so much danger and also why you keep hurting Tori doing those things...

Secondly Do you all even know Gods word? That God destroyed Sodom and Gamora for Sin?? Including homosexuality! Sure God loves everyone..but also rememeber this he hates SIN! and being Gay is a sin! So as for me I do not like the Gunkles or your so called Gay husband...But I do love them in the Lord...I do not like their sin! Open the bible people

Turn from your wicked ways because the coming of the Lord is at hand!

Hi Guncles!! Please suggest to Tori & Dean to have Liam taken to a developmental pediatrician. I am a Mom to an incredible 4 year old little boy who was diagnosed with classic regressive autism a year ago. I love watching this show but I must admit, this season is so hard to watch Liam, it brings back so many painful memories of our journey with autism. I'm leaving this comment out of true concern for Liam and his family!! The sooner you receive a diagnosis, the sooner treatment can begin! My son has made incredible progress after only 1 year of being on a wheat/dairy/soy free diet!! Good luck with everything!!

I think Tori works alot but I also understand why she would want to build and leave a legacy for her kids like her father left for her. Tori needs to understand that she is a wonderful mother. I'm nowhere near famous and sometimes I don't get to spend as much time with my kids as she does with hers! I'm a teacher and mother of 6 (but 3 I only have two weekends a month). Anyway, I think she's a wonderful mom. Sometimes, I think Dean's a little selfish but the good part about that is that he knows it too and admits it.

She needs to stop worrying. She's doing a wonderful job. I just have to take a minute to say this. I watch the show all the time and with absolutely nothing else - she would be lucky to have you guys as friends. I wish you all the best and am routing for the adoption process to be successful. You guys will be great parents.

I've seen the show a couple times but I'm totally into the new season :) Tori and Dean have such great chemistry and can be so sweet to one another - and yet so f'ing funny too! love it. i also love you two - so cute and so charming! hope to see you more and keep up with your blog! you have a new fan in me for sure! xoxo

Hi "Guncles" - I LOVE LOVE you guys!!!! You're the most fun and I watch every week to see if you're on the show!!!!

I Loveeeeeeee the Guncles.....GENIUS addition to the show!!!! I just have to say that Tori & Dean seem to be such great people, wonderful parents to both Liam & Stella, and the Guncles just make the show that much better. Patsy is a true gem and so wonderful with the children, I pray her health gets better as she deserves all the best that life has to offer for all the love that she has given to the McDermott Family. As far as these blogs from "Karen Carroll", you need to stop complaining yourself & playing out your own issues and own life struggles and comparing them to this amazing family & friends that is allowing you into thier lives to show us all that it is not all nice clothes, tons of money & picture perfect! Have you not seen how much Tori works? Have you not seen the tantrums Liam can throw & the sleepless nights of two parents who love thier children?!? Is it not okay that Dean enjoys his hobby of motorcycles, and is it really that awful that the Guncles complain every so often??? I complain daily and yet I understand there are some families out there that have more than mine as well as those that have less....it is a part of life & all how you look at it. Get over it Karen & if you cannot stand the show & only have rude & obnoxious things to say, then quit logging onto the site, it is as simple as that. Looking forward to tonight's show & hope to see plenty more of the Guncle's in the upcoming episodes! Muaw!

I do love to watch the show, but the complaining about what you can afford is getting old. You guys have to have money. When someone like me watches the show it gets a little annoying to see all the great things you have(and have in your life)and all you do is complain. I cant pay my bills or b uy groceries, try tyat life for a day. My husband and I both work and I am in school. I had no choice to get a degree. Be glad for what you have and stop the complaining.

Love to watch Tori and Dean and their growing family. I feel bad for Pasty, hope she gets some medical help. Love the friends, especially the Guncles, hope to see more of you. Stay strong for Tori and Dean they need you.

Tori and Dean will have the challenge of being married as a celebrity couple. I think they could handle that just as well as other celebrities. The challenge will come in the raising of their kids. IF their kids have autism and they don't seek early intervention than it will be very difficult. Marriages have an 80% failure rate when ASD is involved. I have concerns that their kids fall in the spectrum. I think they should seek early intervention now to save their marriage and in turn, if their kids do have autism they help other fans out there. If their kids don't then they can have a full peace of mind that they have helped their kids.

How pathetic you are to go on this site telling people that there marriage isnt going to last.... You should be ashamed of yourself!

Sooo completely unessasery to judge when you don't know him at all!!! Dean you seem to be a good man and a wonderful father. Don't listen to these people there just jealous that you have a better life then they do.

I'M A STAY AT HOME MOM AND I LOVE THE SHOW. LOOKING FORWARD TO TOMORROW NIGHT TO SEE WHAT TORI, DEAN AND KIDS ARE DOING. AND HOPING THAT WHAT EVER THEY ARE DOING THAT THEY HAVE "THE GUNCLES" WITH THEM. I LOVE YOUR SHOW THIS YEAR.

TAMMY P.

Tori,

Where can I find a couch liket the big taupe one you have? Its AWESOME AND BIG!

Thanks
Timina

Tori is allowed to complain. Who isn't? It's part of life. I think focusing on how far they have come and how much inspiration they give is something to acknowledge her for. Be true to yourself like you have been Tori, that's what we all love about you..the good and the bad..just like the rest of us!

Tori-How did you lose all the baby weight? You are so thin. Please tell me your honest to god ways... I too have two kids who I stay home with everyday and work at night. Fill me in!!!

I can't get enough of watching this episode of the parade with Tori and the "Guncles" - This is HILARIOUS. More PLEASE.

I love watching Tori and Dean and the kids. I never really got into Tori until I started watching her reality show. I think she's amazing and such a down to earth person, although she comes from money. She's real, not fake. However, I just want to say Tori when you're referring to your friend (the one who's gay), you should refrain from saying this, "oh that's because you're gay". That would be the same as saying to a black person, "oh that's because you're black". I know you're not a prejudice person but some people may take offense to you saying that. Why don't you re-phrase it and say something like, "oh well that's because you're so prissy". That would come off a lot better.

Hi Tori and Dean - I am old enough to be both of your mother but I have to tell you - what wonderful parents you are and what an inspiration it is to see two young people actually value their marriage and family more than what is going on in the world around them. By the way - my cousin is from LA and is the Exec prod of a show for the stars - you might know her - don't want to mention her name online but if you ever read these and want to reply - I will tell you who she is. You touch my heart on every show - thank you. . . what a huge loss it is for your mother not to be involved in your life - you are every mothers dream for a daughter - you're sweet too Dean! lol If you ever come to Missouri . . .

So, I have not seen the show. However, I just saw a preview on Oxygen. I feel like Tori is such a wanna be. I have never posted like this before, as I am somebody that usually doesn't say anything unless I have something nice to say. Tori comes off to me in the media as very insecure and striving to look and be "as" some of the other female celebs. I am posting because I think she is probably a great person. I wish that she could be happy in her own skin. Also, when I saw the preview, my initial reaction was an almost embarrassing feeling for her. I watched Jessica and Nick's show as well as some of the other newlywed shows. I don't feel compelled to watch this one though.

Hi Tori and Dean, I absolutely love your show. I think you guys are an amazing family. I love how Dean is so supportive and Tori is honest about who she is and how she feels! I am so glad you have a so much support around you. I think Patsy is a God send and I am so happy to see how much she loves all of you. As a woman who did not have a great relationship with my mother, I can understand how you feel. Every girl needs that connection and you are never to old to yearn for that. I think you are doing a wonderful job! You Go Girl!

Hi Tori, Dean, Liam and Stella. I love the show. I have seen every episode. I have a full time career as an RN and I am married with three boys, so I don't get to devote much time to TV! I do devote time to your show. You seem very authentic. I can relate to every aspect of your family struggles, from enough time with the family to money struggles (especially that one). Glad you keep doing what you do!

hi,I just want to say happy birthday to little Stella (ladybug).

AnitaLynn | June 6, 2009 1:12 AM | Reply

I enjoy your show. I think you are truly blessed to have a boy and a girl:) However, I truly wish you would mend your relationship with your mother by being forgiving and looking beyond the hurt and pain. Look to your children: would you want to ever be estranged from them?

I wish you and yours a lifetime of peace and joy.

Hi Tori!!
I love your show and never miss it. Just finished reading "STori Telling" and loved it. I could never put it down, and look forward to reading "Mommywood", as well. Mehran, Patsy, and the Guncles are terrific and you are so lucky to have such great support system.
Here's an idea/project for Dean, and maybe a possible show(s). Has he ever ridden the kind of motorcycles they race in the Baja Tecate 1000?
Well, I will let your imagination carry on with this concept, and you can brainstorm and fill out the rest of the plot to this. Maybe Dean can head up a "Team Tori" to race in it?
Keep up the great show Tori and Dean and I look forward to watching many, many more!!!
Love Ya!!! Donna-Seattle

I'm starting to like the show. The kids are adorable. I really think, however, that Tori needs to pick up some wait. Her arms are realy skinny and she uses scarfs to hid her neck which i'm sure shows her thin body even more.

Hey Guncles, You are both too cute, and so good with the kids! I hope to see you with one or two of your own someday, you would make great parents. I'll be watching the show to see more of the 'Guncles'. :-)

Tori I love your show!! Your two kids are adorable and you are the best mom. You are can do it all, from working to being with your family you somehow balance it all. I hope to meet you one day because you are my role model. My husband is in The marine corps and I know what its like trying to balance being mom, dad, and friend to my son while trying to stay sane.

i love your show i watch all of your episodes and i would love to meet the whole family 1 day Tori i think u are a wonderful mother i luv how u ballance your life out between love with ur husband and ur kid.

I JUST REALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THE FIRST - SEASONS. BUT AFTER WATCHING THE ONES THIS YEAR ,I AM SO DISSAPPOINTED ALL YOU TO DO IS GO ON ABOUT
HOW DAMN HARD IT IS TO GET EVERYTHING TAKEN CARE
OF . REMEMBER YOU ARE ON A REALITY SHOW COMPLAINING RIGHT IN FRONT OF PEOPLE, AND COLLECTING THAT HUGE PAY CHECK, RUN AROUND IN EXPENSIVE CLOTHES THROW BIG BABY PARTIES ETC ETC..
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ...DEAN YOU LOOK BAD, RIDING AROUND ON THAT STUPID MOTORCYCLE...LOOKING STUPID,
THE TWO OF YOU .. NEED TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR..STOP COMPLAINING, AND BE A COUPLE THAT PEOPLE WANT TO LOOK ALONG WITH..STOP COMPLAINING..
I REALLY REALLY DON'T THINK YOUR MARRIAGE WILL WORK OUT ... SORRY ..I LOVED YOU BOTH BEFORE AND
LOOK AT YOU NOW..SAD..PEOPLE BRING ON THEIR OWN
PROBLEMS

Hi Tori & Dean, Watching your show the other night, I see your frustration and worry about spending time with the kids. I am a working, career mom, too. I own a Preschool and Infant Care Center in NJ. My husband and I have three daugthers ages 9, 5, and 2. Trust me it's hard. Even thought the two little ones go to work with me, they are in their own classrooms while I am walking around supervising my staff of 18 and dealing with potential clients and current clients. I don't spend much time with them Monday through Friday, so I make sure the little time we have together is total quality time. We eat dinner and breakfast together every day. We talk about our day. After watching my 9 year old from infancy to now, I realize she is her own little person. It helped her grow to be with others at such young ages. She is very well rounded and loves to meet new people. She is cautious, too, when she needs to be. I am starting to see the same traights in my 5 year old. It's so healthy and so good for young children to have their own time during the day, with people their own age. You two are doing a great job, from what I've seen. You know how to keep the cameras away from the kids (because it is your life style). The time you spend with them definetly looks like quality time. That is key for young children. I do recommend you start looking for a preschool or care program for Liam and possibly Stella. The time they spend with others their age will be precious. Don't worry about missing their firsts. When you see it it will be the first. Trust me. I wish I could sit down and show you what takes place between children when they're together for so many hours a day - it's wonderful. Good luck.

I LOVE THE GUNKLES!!!! Billy and Scoutie....u are true friends and always there for Tori and Dean and those two little cutie pies. Ur amazing!

I just want Dean to know that after Tori turns 40,he better be on vitimins. Sex is great after 40 for women. So the kids will have there own lives by then & a new chapter will begin in there lives. Hang in there.

Tori,
I have been listening to your books on tape while I drive to and from work everyday and I am LOVING them. I can not wait to get in my car to see what happens next! I hope you write another one because you have done such a wonderful job on the other 2. My heart goes out to you and everything that you have gone through with your mom. I can not even imagine all of the pain that you have endured. You have come out the bigger person than her and I believe 100% in karma and some day she will wish she had been a better mom. At least now you have 2 BEAUTIFUL children that I know have the best mom in the world. I have a little boy also the same age as Liam. You gave birth 1 week before I did. I am so happy that you have found the love of your life with Dean. I had that too once, but he passed away when he was 24 years old. I hope you and Dean grow old together and nothing but good things come your way! You deserve the best! Signed, Jennifer in Houston, Texas

HI ALL, JUST WANTED TO SAY HELLO EVEN IF I DO NOT GET A RESPONSE BACK.. ALTHOUGH, MY FAMILY AND I LIVE IN N.Y., WE HAVE THE 6DEGREES OF SEPARATION BETWEEN US. I KNOW PEOPLE WHO KNOW YOU VERY WELL; BUT WITHOUT EVER MEETING YOU; I WILL LET YOU KNOW THAT I DID MEET YOUR MOM. I AM 30YRS. OLD; NEVER WAS CLOSE TO MY MOM UNTIL I HAD MY 1ST CHILD(MY KIDS ARE ALSO 15MTHS. APART). I AM NOW ON BABY #3 W. MY HUBBY AND TO SAY THE LEAST I LOVED 90210 AND LOVE YOUR SHOW NOW. I SPOKE TO YOUR MOM (COINCIDENTALLY WITH MY MOM RIGHT NEXT TO ME) AND TOLD HER MY STORY GROWING UP ETC.(I DEFINITELY THINK IT HELPED A LIL.B.C. WE DID SEE HER TEAR UP. PLEASE KNOW THAT LIFE IS JUST SO SHORT AND WE ALL NEED TO LIVE DAY BY DAY ( AS YOU NEED TO JUST PROBABLY BE THE BETTER AND BRIGHTER HUMAN BEING); YOU ARE TRULY AN INSPIRATION AND I AM SURE THAT SHE WILL NOT COME AROUND; BUT FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR KIDS AND HUSBAND YOU SHOULD MAKE THE ATTEMPTS( I AM SURE THAT IT WILL SUCK AND PLS. DO NOT BE OFFENDED BUT SHE WILL NOT BE AROUND FOREVER AND YOU DO WANT YOUR KIDS TO HAVE A GRANDMA THAT THEY COULD GROW TO LOVE).I AM TRULY LUCKY TO HAVE MY KIDS GROW UP TO KNOW MY MOM ,DAD, AND I TRULY WISH THAT YOU CAN READ THIS W. AN OPEN HEART AND MIND!!!!!!!:)WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST WITH MUCH CONTINUED SUCCESS,LOVE, AND HEALTH!!!!!!! ON ANOTHER NOTE,(6.2.09) EPISODE,I LOVED STELLA'S PINK HAT, WHEN YOU WENT TO VISIT DEAN ON-SET AND HER AND LIAM WERE IN THE STROLLER SLEEPING( SO CUTE) ;PLS. LET ME KNOW WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED I HAVE SEEN IT ON THE EL.DEG. SHOW; WHEN ALISON SWEENEY'S DAUGHTER WAS WEARING IT AND I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE. THANKS FOR ENABLING ME TO CORRESPOND W. YOU VIA THIS BLOG AND PLS. KNOW THAT YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON AND DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU DIFFERENT(LOL)!!!!!!!

I love watching Tori and Dean. The Gunkels are great, I grew up with Scout, he is an extremely nice guy. Scout, remember the YMCA in your neighbors backyard, ha ha You have a fan club here in PA

i think you guys are great you are there for them when they need you thats so awsome.tori and dean are so lucky to have you guys in there life tori is very blessed..my girls and i love the show tori is so real i love that

Never saw 90210. Have recently watched Tori & Dean's show because a) I live in Ohio and there's nothing to do; b) it's cool to see how others with "real" lives live. Yeah, like we don't even have a bakery in our entire county.

The sign of a good mother is how she feeds her children. A mother that goes to the trouble of making quality, homemade baby food truly loves her children.

Stella looks just like her daddy.

There's no question that Dean should give up the motorcycle -- it causes too much anxiety and can leave his children fatherless in a moment.

I must have missed some episodes but like another reader I wonder why they are selling their home? I thought they found their dream home at Stella's birth.

Signing off -- yes, I have no life except taking care of two puppies and yada yada . . .

Hey Tori, Dean, Stella, and Liam! I'm hooked on your show. I relate to tori so much! And our daughters have lots in common too. My baby was born 6/11/08 two days after stella. They should be homegirls! Tori, you rock as a mother! Don't stress too much about working, you sacrifice and do everything for your children and hopefully when they grow up they know you did it for them. I love the guncles! They rock! Your whole life just rocks! Anyway I won't take too much of your time, But keep up the good work. Oh BTW, ever since your episode with the fries...small fries, ugh, I can't stop craving those yummy looking fries with your dips! Send me a recipe or two please!

I just wanted to say that I have watched all 3 seasons and watching 4 currently. I would like to say that I am very proud of tori, I think she has came along way. And Dean has saved her so to speak. With out him , she wouldnt be balanced. He is definitely her other half, her rock. You can see that in the shows. Their children are very beautiful, and tori you and dean are the coolest down to earth parents. Your lives are so normal, just like us. You can really tell how much you have grown and bloomed from the different seasons, and your not letting anything change you!! I think thats awesome. Dean you take care of the little ones and keep moma safe and happy!! Tori, you rock girl!! I am really so proud of you and your family! Your doing exacty what you want and deserve! Dont worry, i dont ever think you wind up like your mother. Because you raise your kids on what you didnt have in your childhood and that is what counts. You make it better! Actually, you should feel great knowing that you are doing your very best and Liam and Stella have the most loving parents. You guys keep up the good work. I hope to be buying toris books in the next few weeks!! That chick as came so far !! And I just wanted to say that she is lucky to have her two beautiful kids and a loving husband!! You guys rock!!

It blows my mind that a person feels the need to write such ugly things.

I just love you all I enjoy watching so much. Your babies are darling. You are loving and kind good job. Your mother should be so proud if you were mine I would be.

TORI & DEAN:
You are both such great people; since you started the one hour format (in lieu of two half hours) the show is much more INTERESTING to watch.

Tori, I am such a huge fan of your father's body of work. He set the standard for network television and I was so saddened by his loss. I am a woman the age of your mother and I have watched HER through the years --as you were growing up into the wonderful woman you are today. You are so much like your father; the consummate businesswoman AND dedicated mother. Your children (and husband) are lucky to have you. STOP FEELING GUILTY --nobody watching you mother your children could see anything other than your deep and abiding love for them (and Dean). You learned your parenting from your father and your Uncle Danny. I hope Danny lives forever so your kids get the chance to know their grandfather (through his brother).
I also remember when your father died, your "problem" with your mother (rightfully so) stemmed from her having a too close relationship w/a former family friend (close male friend of your mother's). The way your mother has conducted herself using what your father worked a lifetime to achieve DOES NOT speak well for her. Using his life's work to (try) and force you into bending to her will is unseemly. Her recent smears alluding that your absence caused your father's death is reprehensible. GOD IS WATCHING. And Candy has much to answer for in that regard. Your father is rolling in his grave at candy's conduct toward you. Being jealous of one's own child is unforgivable.
That you have succeeded without using your father's money is not only laudable but truly heart-rendering to watch. Your success and Dean's is well-earned and your next book should be HOW to realize your dreams in business.
You are a success because you and Dean work so hard at everything you do. (Dean: stop speed racing motorcycles). You have a family to consider and drawing LIam into a sport that could (later) be responsible for great injury -or worse is inexcusable. Sons feel driven to surpass their fathers; if he inherits your "need" for speed and other dangerous sports --what could be gained by his growing up reckless & thrill-seeking with the thoughtlessness of youth>?
Bless you both; anyone wanting a good example of EXCELLENT PARENTING should watch your show.
(Octo=mom and Kate should be forced to watch all the episodes back-to=back for months). Your show demonstrates proper exposure for the kids. You never use the kids to attract attention, which is commendable,

Tori - I have to say I wasn't a huge fan of Donna, but I am a fan of Tori's. You're such an amazing person. I like the way you and Dean work so hard on your relationship. It can be difficult when you're not close to your family (mom and such) - something's always missing. But don't forget about the family you've created w/ your husband and your friends. I really believe that your friends can be the best kind of family - that's where you truly find unconditional love. You're a really strong woman w/ a sensitive side and I think that makes you a great rode model. Here's wishing you and family (that includes your gay husband and the gunckles)well!

Hi mcarroll - You should check out Tori's 2nd book, "Mommywood" (In stores now or online). Sounds like you'll really enjoy it!

Hi Tori,
I am very excited about your new baby clothing line. I have a baby boutique website at www.BabiesOhBabies.com I would really like to sell your products on our website. I watch all of your shows and love them. You are a great person and a great mom.

make that time off happen!! vacations should be a necessity,not a luxury.her health depends on it.

Hello, I was just watching an episode of Tori and Dean and got really turned off by this episode when Tori talking to Dean in their bedroom about her being a Grand Marshall for a parade. is going to put the baby down for a nap and Dean is in his bed she comes in the room and tells him one of the dogs had diarrhea. So he jumps out of bed "Are you F---ing kidding me"? And threatened that the dog wouldn't be there when Tori got back from out of town. I have been a huge fan, but I found his attitude pompous and the cussing was so unnecessary! Come on Dean loosen up a little, maybe you need to visit some puppy mills and see how abused dogs and cats are tortured! I am sure your dog couldn't help the diarrhea.

I LOVE YALLS SHOW AND TORI I UNDERSTAND YOUR WIGHT CAUSE I AM THE SAME WAY I JUST HAD BABY AND I AM BACK TO SIZE TOO SO DO WORRY ABOUT WHAT THEY SAY THEY JUST MAD CAUSE THEY CANT BE SAMLL LIKE US I THINK YOU LOOK GREAT ^_^

This message is really for Patsy. Continue to be real. It's so refreshing to find a real, Jamaican woman trying to be nothing but herself, especially among "foreigners". You make me feel proud to be a fellow sojourner in the diaspora. I have lived outside of Jamdown for over twenty years and found so many fakes among our people, that you are a breath of fresh air - real and intelligent with no false, forced accent in one direction nor another.

Continue to do your thing; you bring a good dose of reality and balance to Tori and Dean's otherwise crazy and hectic life.

I am married to an actor so I can relate to their lives on so many levels; my husband quit the Hollywood scene but I can still relate. You also have my prayers on your weight loss journey.

I understand that this message is read by many but I am amazed at myself that I actually watch it.

I did watch 90210 when I was young. I believe I started when the show started. As all who reach a certain age, we grow out of it. However, at the age of 35, I am intrigued again.

What I like is that she seems approachable, which I feel is important for viewers being that she does come from a Hollywood-enriched life. Her husband, on the other hand, I unfortunately do not recognized but he seems to have a goal-oriented life.

Cut to the chase, I hope that Tori would consider writing a book that would interlace her life now with a toddler and a baby with others in the same grouping. I like the angle of the show that she is an every-day girl with Hollywood behind her but I think it would be neat to see her write something witty about how she and her other friends react to the same situation.

If all, I would like a send back of "read" so that I will know my comments were actually noted.

Thanks and good luck,

I love this show and I'm officially addicted to Tori and Dean. I'm expecting twins and I was wondering what multiple stroller does Tori and Dean use?
