I liked the show so much that when I used to visit a Turkish bath house in New Orleans, I would often go off to the TV room to watch reruns of Golden Girls rather than engage in rumpy pumpy, which was the point of the place.

I wonder if people from Sicily like Sophia from Golden Girls

[@MichaelaH2059]

I recently acquired a dresser/nightstand that belonged to my Mom which she bought in 1950. My brother had it stored in a shed and there is some water damage, i.e., veneer pealing in lots of areas. My Dad smoked and both pieces of furniture were LOADED with nicotine filth as well as dirt from sitting for years in this sheds. I had to really clean the furniture and sand it down with 0000 pads because of the condition it was in. I am going to be using Beyond paint (not Reclaimed, though). We'll see how it goes!

[@eduardo_corrochio]

@@HMRLTL Well, the torture joke is part of a conversation (in the "Grab That Dough" episode) and not so much a story; it's _almost_ a "Picture It" story. But Charles the Mole is totally a Sophia story, so this video is not *Every* tale she regaled the girls with.

They should make a Golden Girls prequel about Sophia’s adventures in Sicily. I mean they should have…30 years ago.
