I think this is it. I wasn't sure at first because the first posts were so old. Maybe posts will pick up as more people "find" it after Married At First Sight plays, as I did. (So far I really like it.) I did like Jo's idea of not waiting around for the fire-fighting dad to be around to go and do fun things. You have to get out of the house or you'll go nuts!

Ok,ok..I guess I WILL make a doctor's appointment for the severe ongoing pain in my lower left abdomen. It's been a full month that I've had it, so I'm guessing it's not really just gas?😜 (TMI?) I hate going to the doctor, because no matter what, it seems like it always comes back to them thinking it's from me being overweight. Well..no duh. I AM overweight, but sometimes overweight people have things wrong with them that's not related to that. Am I the only one who gets the feeling that doctors don't see overweight people as PEOPLE first? (I need to find a nice plump doctor, maybe) 😂

They really are our rewards for letting our teenagers live.😂 I keep telling my grown kids who have teenagers that, but they don't quite believe future grands will be worth the trouble....(they're wrong) ❤

I get to relax only until February 8, when I have to be in PUERTO RICO 😲 for my granddaughter's Bat Mitzvah! I'm flying standby for free (as usual) but I already put down a non-refundable deposit on where we're staying. (I really can't afford it, but I am over staying with other people, kwim?) The venue where they are hosting Ziva's Bat Mitzvah is not anywhere near the earthquake zone, and tourism dollars are just what that beautiful island needs right now. I'm still nervous af though, and I'm going to have to DRAG my husband by his...er um... hand...😂 to make him go now. (He already was afraid of just flying.) PS...here's photos of all my grands and great-grands, except Noah, the baby, who was with his mom that day. They've all gotten so big! 😭 The first pic is just my Illinois grands, because the out of state/out of the country ones couldn't make it that year.

Agreed..my 10yo granddaughter's birthday is Dec. 28..and we all try very hard to make sure it's celebrated apart from the holidays. Happy belated birthday to you too, Jyn! Oh, and HAPPY birthday to EVERYONE else I missed, or who just reads here and had a birthday near the holidays!! 😊 I had ALL five of my kids here for the holidays, and all 14 grands, and 3 great grands. My 5 Jewish family members stayed here IN our house for THREE weeks. Not 3 days...3 WEEKS. Benjamin Franklin famously said "fish and company smell after three DAYS" 😁 (paraphrased.) Even my Marine son and his wife and 4 kids flew in from Germany for two weeks❤ So I got to celebrate both Christmas and Hannukah. I am very happy, but also exhausted, and way, way DONE with holidays for a long, long time.😂

Happy belated birthday!

I am way, way behind on this forum, but I just gave your birthday post another like to turn it pink...So belated happy birthday! 😘

Come and sit by me.

Me either..but after all the mole comments, I looked them up. He looks MUCH better without the moles, imo. To bring it back to this season, Derek is a very good looking guy except for the big fat MOLE on his chin. (I just really hate moles) 🤢 "Take this quarter, go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face." - Uncle Buck

Angela screeching... oh hell NO! Time to go pee.

Does anyone else start messages and think "no, that's stupid, who wants to hear your thoughts on that?" That's me. 🙃

@Jeeves, I think finding a new hairdresser is second hardest only to finding a new doctor. Change is stressful. You get used to the one you have and the way they do things. Hopefully you'll find one you like even better, and who is even more welcoming. Thanks for reminding me that it is a nice day outside (Chicago area here.) I'm going to force myself to go put up my outside Christmas lights. I won't turn them on until after Thanksgiving, but I hate putting them up when it's so cold that the hair inside my nose freezes! 😂

My husband went to Puerto Rico this morning for a wedding, so it's just me and the dog here. Why must my house decide tonight is a good time to make creepy sounds?😮 PS I turned on music so I can't hear the noises😁

Last Sunday I went to get a haircut, and walked in as they were closing. They apologized a bunch of times, and kept on apologizing as I hurriedly backed out. They obviously had been yelled at before by (very last) minute customers for not taking them. I said" oh no.. I'm SO sorry..I should've remembered the hours are different on Sunday!" I think people who are fine with just casually dropping into a business at the last minute and not understanding the employees are dead on their feet and want to go home, have never worked a service job in their life, and it shows. Ps. :::::::waving hello to everyone reading here::::::😊

A lot of the replies are dragging all 3 of them.

Sounds like my sister. But funny how they can support themselves when their enablers all stop enabling them. She-Shed's mama is totally enabling her behavior. If she can't afford a place to live, she shouldn't get married. She's not doing her daughter any favors...I have a feeling her mother always gives into her.

How about the fact that she was given (had plastic surgery paid for her) to even be able to model, also? That doesn't look like the same nose, to me.🤔

If you want a good laugh, read all the replies to this tweet: 🤣😂😂🤣

This is me to a T....also...hi everyone! :::::waving wildly:::::: I'm feeling so much more chipper than I have been over the past few months. I'm trying to read through all the small talk I've missed, but I'm sure I'm going to miss things, so please forgive me if end up missing any major life events for anyone. So far, I'm loving all the art talk 🙂 ok back to reading...

I tried to watch..I really, really tried. I had to nope right out after about 15 minutes...he infuriated me.

Ooooo.. Sliding in at the last second..I forgot it was on! (I was treating my dog for fleas gotten from my sister's visiting dog😭) Bring on the snark!

Hoo boy. I need this show this week to take my mind off real world events. Bring on the snark!

I'm ready today! I had a full Girl Scout troop here at my house yesterday, so I couldn't watch the show live, and it was the hardest sacrifice of my life!😂 Can't wait for all your snark 😁

She always looks SO thrilled to be there. 🙄
