Maybe the whole site got bought by fundamentalists of some kind? (that's the only thing that makes sense to me) hope I don't get dinged for saying this.🙄😝

As a recent convert to Taylor Swift and her songs (I'm old) at least Meri won't be writing a song about them. Could be worse. 😁

We're fine, thanks. Update: I'm watching the news and they're speculating that at least 8 tornadoes touched down in Illinois (damage still to be determined.) They're saying it's extremely rare for a tornado to touch down in Illinois in February, and that the last one was in the 1950s...70 some years ago. It was so nice outside today (74°), and now they're saying it will be 33° tomorrow, and it's supposed to snow. Ok me done. 😁

My daughter is working at O'Hare airport (in Chicago) rn and sent me a video of everyone being told there was a tornado warning, and for them all to head to the tornado shelters (usually the nearest bathrooms there.) Up until a few minutes ago, my husband and I were sitting in our hallway because the sirens were blaring here. Word to self: drag two chairs into the hallway next time..our backs are killing us. #geezerproblems Ps wanted to share the lil vid but it's too big for this site, but here's two screenshots. 😁

The doctor did tell me that the hearing aids might possibly be partially covered by our insurance. She said this a normal tone of voice, so my husband didn't hear a word of it.😁 The reason I mentioned that he didn't hear that, is because I'm going to tell the doctor to tell him how much they cost without insurance, and then if our insurance does cover any of it, he'll feel like he got a great deal on them. 🤣 And if they're not covered he won't be disappointed. ps anyone ever figure out how to remove emojis on these posts? I sometimes go a little nuts with them and want to edit them out later..and I just CAN'T erase them 😭😁

😁 You are starting to sound like an OLD ( like me) But I really walked ½ a mile to elementary school in the snow....with snow pants under a skirt or dress..brrrrrr.

I wonder if we can use our insurance there? Ps $35 copay just to clean wax out of an ear he can't hear out of anyway.🙄😁

Ugh..they don't do hearing tests at this location..wth..now I have to make another appointment. Phooey. I wish it would have detailed that when I made this appointment online. 😭 Ps at least he can get his earwax cleaned out today 😆

I am taking my 76yo husband to a new ear doctor today. Wish me luck on having to argue his wrinkled old cheap butt into getting some real (expensive) hearing aids. I have already bought him 2 pair of OTC ones, and they were great while they lasted. He has broken one of one pair by stepping on it, and lost one of the others at church. He said he was ready to buy real ones, and asked me to make an appointment with a new ear doctor and would buy some that the new doctor recommends (he acted like such an ass at his former doctor that I think he's embarrassed to face him again.) Today is the day that he either holds true to his word, or I kick him to the curb! (He has the money, btw, but when he opens his wallet, moths fly out because he so seldom does. )🤣

From Google: "Except for a handful of circumstances (such as drivers license, Social Security account, passport) a person can use any name they wish without any legal name change procedure."

To everyone!💕

I just want Cole to get his bangs out of his eyes. Also, am I alone in thinking the actor who plays him looks way too old to be in high school? I keep waiting for it to turn out that Jackie saves the ranch by coming into money left to her when her family died/or that her uncle just wants custody of her to get a hold of said money. Ugh, why have I put this much thought into a show I don't even like that much? 😁

Me too. I was trying to think what about his appearance made me dislike him so much, and then I remembered that he looks like Snidely Whiplash (the evil cartoon villain) 😁

I got halfway through watching the second episode...and I just couldn't bear the cringe factor anymore. It's not funny to me at all. I'm an old lady though, so maybe this just wasn't meant for me. PS the girl getting into the creep's car was the tipping point for me..I don't even want to know where they're going with this. 🤮

Not sure if this was already posted? A 3rd season..yay! https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/the-gilded-age-renewed-season-3-hbo-1235768003/

This made me think of this picture. It drove me nuts until I found it. I like to imagine this is like all the servants gossiping about Turner. 😁

OMGosh. Such a terrible story. 😭

I think Theresa looks really good here.

I'll be watching just so I can be up to date on all the snark when reading these boards. What fun is a show where we actually like all the contestants?! 😂 PS agree 100% on muting Frankie though. 🤮

Maybe they were stationed there on a US military base and didn't get out of the base much. My Marine son and his family were stationed there for 3 years and made sure to go out and about to the little villages, and to other countries. They did know some people that just stuck to the (English speaking) base the whole time they lived there. What a waste, huh?

Plus, I think you have to factor in the fact that some unmarried men (of any age)are not looking for a woman at all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh my dog...I first looked at this picture without my glasses , and thought OMG someone posted a picture of hairy testicles! 😳 😆

I can't be the only one that automatically hits the mute button whenever FBJ starts talking...right?! OMG I cannot stand to listen to her.
