I went to college after a divorce when I had 2 small children. Ex kept telling me I wouldn't make it through registration. Back then it was with key punch cards. I considered myself well read. College classes with other people added another dimension that I never realized was important. So I would love for Jinger to start with maybe one on campus in person class with all kinds of people and views.

Fair enough. I am too old to know how this will finally play out!

I am just guessing she has put the fear of her version of god into them about abandoning her into a nursing home and they will rotate her care out of guilt or sense of fear of the afterlife.

I believe they will all be confirmed, even after a lengthy and frightening confirmation hearing. seems like they are all scared of him and that is scary enough. Now he is suing pollsters. ABC settled. Not good.

And in her AD video she says they both come home from the show and hit the "snack pantry". So they make things up as they go along. I wonder what is the truth. I am guessing they have "shtick" for the show and life for them is normal for rich people. I am not begrudging them the rich. For whatever reason they have made it big and even if some don't think they are deserving, there are a lot more who do, hence the ratings/salaries/ etc. Both sets of their parents have been married forever and they have been married over 25? years, so I guess they have learned what works for them.

Many people, not just grifters like them, live in the moment. But they are champion grifters.

I have a "tongue" experience too! Said grandma took me and younger brother to a hotel in Lakewood in the year 1952 over Thanksgiving because my mother was having a difficult pregnancy. I remember how lovely it was back then with the snow and horse and sled rides and bearskins to keep us warm. The hotel restaurant served us a lunch of a slice or two of some yummy meat and then grandma said it was tongue! I was grossed out. My father worked in a slaughterhouse when he was young and said he could never eat tongue so it was never a thing in our house and no one ever ordered it "out" when back then it was available in some delis.

My grandma, an old Jewish woman to me back then, (she was about 50 back then) came from Russia when she was 6, in 1905, to Central NJ. suburb of NYC. Back then when I was old enough to go with her, we went to the chicken store where she picked out a live chicken and the fellow killed it and mostly plucked it and we went back home and she finished the plucking and sometimes there were egg yolks inside that she boiled with the chicken. She saved the feet for herself because she thought they were a delicacy. None of us complained. She also said they made the soup jell up better when cold. Probably so.

That they are and the poor are different from the middle class. I am thinking Kelly has been all three and likes the rich part best.

I used to tell my children that my mission in life is to become a burden upon my children. Sweet Son's husband, who we are still very close with, said back then "mission accomplished". Then he felt bad and I said that was the funniest thing I had heard in a long time.

Gosh they are insipid. sometimes I wonder if they are trying to escape themselves and each other with the endless going/doing. If they sat back and relaxed they would have to face themselves and each other. Carlin is very undereducated and maybe not capable. Evan, well it has been discussed that he "pings", so if they didn't keep on the move and pretend they want to be influencers, maybe they "couldn't handle the truth".

I think he spews things just to spew. Imagine a military plane filled with folks being deported. They would have to have a place to land the plane and offload the folks. This would have to be planned in advance. I can imagine some staffer on the phone "Hello, Bermuda? We want to land a big plane and offload 300 people. Maybe more than once. Hello? Hello?" Next up, Narnia, same thing. Don't get me wrong. It will be a cluster in the beginning as he and his people try all kinds of insane things and then there will be court orders, etc. more chaos, and he will find it to be hard. BUT, don't count out the sheriffs to round up people. They have almost unlimited power, most of them are associated with christian nationalists, and very Trump.https://www.amazon.com/Highest-Law-Land-Unchecked-Threatens/dp/0593471318

The sisterhood book was wonderfully illuminating and head banging at the same time. We read this in book club. I'm going to get the other one about Code Girls. Also, related to the thread, does anyone think trump sends his people around to threaten all those who have dropped out, recanted, resigned, etc. What happened with Wray? Was he afraid of something? As in someone came to see him and said "we have evidence of you misusing a postage stamp back in 1993", etc. or maybe they know what is coming is a huge bank draining legal issue? I kind of wonder and hope that all the people involved with the Jack Smith proceedings will help each other out legally, if that is a thing.

Just an aside on the twin thing. Mr. lookeyloo has a twin brother. They turn 70 in October. Their late mother, bless her heart, insisted they were identical because "the doctor" told her. Whether he did or didn't, well, who knows, but, they almost don't even look like brothers. If I showed you a picture of a bunch of people anyone would be hard pressed to pick them out as brothers, let alone identical twins. It will be interesting to see what the Duggar baby "twins" are like.

I think that is right because the lens is removed, so it can't get another cataract in the medical waste bin! I got "toric" lenses after my cataract surgery - because of the particular shapes of my corneas the specialist told me I wouldn't be "glasses free" but mostly. I tried readers and found them particularly annoying so the optometrist made me glasses that progress from the reading part to nothing as they go up. I have worn glasses since I was 7 years old, so not even having them on my face was not fun. I much prefer to put them on first thing along with the hearing aids (I'm 81 now, had the cataract surgery when I was about 75 and got the first hearing aids 20 years ago) and not think about what I can and cannot see and didn't want to fool with a set of readers everywhere and on and off, on and off. Also, I paid extra for the special lenses because insurance doesn't cover them. Worth it to me. YMMV.
