lookeyloo

The Duggars and the Bates both have their arms folded across their chests in many scenes. I think mostly the girls. What's up with that?

Michaella is so over the moon re: Brandon. I hope it doesn't run him off. He seems kind of laid back and I think she is restraining herself from jumping him. Five years with no concrete end in sight seems like a struggle for her. It's five years they know each other? But I can't remember when they entered the courtship.

Did anyone see when Tracy Ellis Ross was a guest and how much she and Carla look alike? It was fun watching them and then they talked about when they were mistaken for each other.

Lately she's been a guest host on The View. If she would just not be so animated I would like her in that role. What she says usually makes good sense but the hands waving, big smile, overdone facial expressions, etc. don't translate well in my opinion.

I did enjoy this show for what it was - surely it wasn't WNTW. The singer's singing was awful but she turned out much nicer looking. I doubt Stacy will ever have to style her for her Grammy nomination.

Please help me remember - wasn't there some allegation (not sure of substantiated) of abuse of Robyn by the ex? Would that play into why her ex has no legal or physical custody? And would that have an effect on any court ruling?

Those seven needs are quite horrifying. Seems like a female with any "spunk" at all will have to push it way down to adhere. Or learn how to manipulate, or really "fake it" on so many levels. And what kind of man wants a woman who adheres? Michelle has even made some disparaging remarks to the camera when JB came up with his scheme to have a farm. Disturbing for sure.

Seemed to me that she had different/less eye makeup on. I seem to think that when she went to the shorter hairstyle her eye makeup changed too.

SO glad to hear this most encouraging news!

Sounds fun and glad to hear the good news!!

Maybe she did have that conversation. Maybe he said in a respectful way "lay off Mom. I'm sure about this" and she decided to,go along rather than not being involved in anything.

I listened to Audition and for the most part enjoyed it. Of course it was all about Barbara - it was her story. I got it from the library right after it came out so can't recall everything. She didn't have an easy life. I don't know what kind of person she is in "real life" but she did work hard. I agree that it is time for her to enjoy her View from her couch.

They sure "slammed up" that pit of a house. It looks pretty cute now. And no sign of the mold. At least to the naked eye.

Shows okay to me. Nothing great. What in the world is wrong with Babs's face -especially around the sides of her nose. Maybe makeup but looks like the sides of her nostrils are pulled up. More tweaking?

I have access to Sirius radio for a while and listened to two of Jenny McCarthy's shows. If I hadn't watched her on The View and if I didn't know about her anti vaccine misinformation, I would think of her as thoughtful and a pretty good interviewer. One show had a monsignor on and since Jenny was raised very Catholic, they discussed some topics that confuse people. Light hearted but to me not offensive. The other show had a person from the transgender community on and Jenny was trying to be respectful to terminology - I didn't get to listen very long. I would tune in again depending on the topic and guests. And now I'm going to slap myself upside the head for that last comment.

Such positive news about Miss Maisie! So very glad to hear.

I do like some of Meredith's show. I heard it was already renewed for a second season? Has that changed? Maybe it will be retooled for season two. The parts of her show I don't like are the games and some of the guests. She does know how to interview people and some of the heart tugger segments are good too.

xWould appreciate it

It would be a "trip" for me - I'm in Baton Rouge. But, it's possible.

Jellybeans, I'm in Louisiana. Where did you get those sundaes?

I've been recording Meredith's show on the DVR - aside from some celebrities I'm not interested in, the fashion segments, the games, etc. she does a good interview, so I FF through what I don't want to watch and enjoy the rest. She is a natural in many different situations. Which is probably why she was such a great moderator on The View.

She was "Rosie". We've heard many of the clips but she is a natural. Talked about her kids, her marriage, how she met Michelle, Barbra, and finally her heart attack. After the credits there was some candid stuff at the mall where she interacts with the shoppers. Much fun. Will miss seeing her on a regular basis. I don't agree with everything she says but I find her sincere in her beliefs and very entertaining

I did watch Rosie's HBO Special and did enjoy it very much.

Good for you CousinAmy in your grant writing pursuits. I used to work for an agency that gave out grants. We couldn't give to everyone and some were written better than others, some were better projects than others, and sometimes there just wasn't enough money to go around in that funding cycle, even with well written and very deserved projects. Always a sadness. But I still wish your group would have gotten a Rosie O grant.

That is a beautiful picture. The makeup is great. She looks like a regular person without it. This isn't a dig at all - I love me some good makeup
