    Hey @Tunia, long time no see.

    I've never heard of Bill Whitaker. Haven't been able to get any CBS channels since analog went digital. But I don't give a care who the host is these days. I don't watch for the person who reads the clues.

    I'm enjoying the champ, I love how she is so obviously happy and excited to be there. Good on her. Long may she reign.

    Hiya' Saber...

    I was previously unfamiliar with Bill Whitaker also, but once I read his credentials, I was disappointed in his pronunciations.  Being on "60 Minutes" (which I don't watch), he should be well familiar with "YOO-ca-tan", and he had a couple other flubs.

    Alex made hosting seem so effortless that I have high expectations for whoever fills his shoes.  It surprises me how much I DO care who the new host is.  Thus far, Anderson Cooper and Aaron Rodgers have been my favs, but I'll be waiting to see how Mayim Bialik and LeVar Burton come through.

    I like the current champ too. :-)

    I am just now getting over my grief that no one recognized James Garner. I used to cut class to watch Maverick reruns on the local UHF station (ask your grandparents), and then The Rockford Files, and Bret Maverick, and so many good films. YouTube must have a compilation of the Rockford answering machine messages.

    I know, right?  Everyone is referencing his TV shows, but when I think of James Garner, my mind goes to The Notebook.

    I wanna see an articulate conservative who is not a Trump supporter but can still offer insight into the Republican perspective and balance the table without being so inflammatory all the time. So far, I'm only familiar with Ana Navarro, but I'm sure there's others we don't know about. 

    Also, I hate to say this because I practically begged for her to come back, but Sara isn't doing it for me this time around. She's just not very interesting anymore. I'd rather see another younger moderate or a young progressive.

    They’ve tested a few on the show over the years.   Tara Setmayer was very good, but of course MM hated/was jealous of her much like Anna.   I think a good rule of thumb would be any conservative that MM doesn’t like.  😀

    Tara Setmayer is wonderful, and I've said for years that she'd be perfect for this show.  She fits the bill:  Republican, conservative, intelligent, informed, and pleasant.  She and Ana are proof that you can be a strong conservative without being nasty about it.

    Regarding Nutmeg's "pink eye", I happened upon an article earlier today (which, of course I can't find now) that was seriously inquiring if MM was showing signs of COVID - LOL.

    I only half heard what Sunny was saying at the end until I realized she was telling them someone had passed away. It wasn't Sunny's mother who lives with them, was it?

    Sadly, it was both of Manny's parents, both from COVID.  His mother passed on 12/28 and his father on New Year's.  How incredibly sad for their family.  Both were "Doctors, who did everything right (about COVID)".

    Good lord, what is with Meg’s hair?

    I was thinking the same about Sunny.  Did she just roll out of bed?  She looks like the "morning after" a hot date!

    Awww, no costumes?! Booooooo!

    I get that "stacking the court" isn't a great thing, especially for traditionalists like Sunny, and I tend to like order and tradition myself. BUT -- don't add two new Justices. Add 10, add 15. The founders didn't put a finite number in the Constitution FOR A REASON.

    I never want to see this country's freedoms rest on the frail shoulders of one tiny, very old woman who has fought multiple cancers. It was not fair to put that on RBG. Put more Justices in place and make the court less driven by the beliefs of just a few people. 

    If Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed as the ninth Associate Justice, adding only two judges wouldn't do the Dems any good anyway.  They need at least four to tip the Court in their favor, for a total of 13.

    With the addition of ACB, the Court would be off-balanced with 6 Conservatives and 3 Liberals.  If Biden adds 2, the Court still leans Conservative at 6 - 5.  He would have to add four to make a 7 - 6 Liberal lean.

    Who knows what the optimum number of Justices is the right one?  We've never had experience with more than nine at a time.  At what point does the number become cumbersome?  As a Liberal, I'd have no problem with raising to 13 once the Dems are in control (JMO).

    I thought the same thing about her still looking so beautiful and I appreciated her giving her experience of being a long hauler.  A family member of mine had a long hauler experience after an unnamed virus several years ago and at the time there wasn't a term to explain what was happening.  I would like the show to interview more long haulers so that the public can become more aware of the impact on the body and lifestyle of the victims of this disease.  I have read there is a support website somewhere for long haulers but getting their experiences out there is the kind of thing the View could spend time on rather than ranting about politics.

     

    Chris Cuomo on CNN is a long hauler after his heavy bout of COVID.  He speaks of it often and also interviews others who are having the same experience.  He's had some very interesting discussions.

    Prepping nipples really hasn’t been a thing in years...She needs a lactation consultant to check out that latch.

    Nipple prepping? I had no idea that was a thing. I learn so much here.

    Nothing I've ever learned about pregnancy makes it sound appealing.

    Girl count me in this group! I don't think I'll ever romanticize pregnancy. It doesn't sound fun, and the delivery sounds like a horror show. I don't think I'd mind breastfeeding, but I wouldn't feel comfortable exposing myself in public the way moms are encouraged to these days, and I'd die before I'd tweet about my nipples! I'll leave that to the ever bashful, conservative Nutmeg!

    LOL - I had no idea that nipple prepping was so passe, and have to wonder why it's no longer recommended.  Seems like, for the little effort, there are pretty good results.

    For those who hadn't heard of it before, basically it was simply "tweaking" your nipples to toughen them by rubbing them between your fingers often and on a regular basis.  Then, when l'il Liberty arrives, the sucking action of the BF doesn't chap the nipples and makes BF more comfortable.

    I must be showing my age by not knowing this is now "out"!

    I'm not a mom, have never had children, never breast fed but even I know your nipples get sore when you are first start nursing. There is cream for that. They should have covered this in the hospital when they taught her how to nurse..

    She should have been "prepping" her nipples from the beginning of her pregnancy  if she was planning on BF.

    Didn't she bother to read a book about it?

    Did I somehow sleep through Jaime Harrison's appearance? I was looking forward to it.

    Looks like he's been re-scheduled to next Friday.

    Where do you even get things like that and who told her it was a good look?  Maybe someone could pull it off for a super formal event but definitely not for morning TV.  Who's doing her looks this season cause they aren't very good (or they don't like her).  And yes, Whoopie can pull of that kind of thing as being funny as she clearly wasn't taking herself seriously but playful.  MM couldn't do that even if she tried.

    where do i get things like what? i said i think she feels she looks beautiful in this. my opinion, didn't get it anywhere.

     

    OUCH, cinsays...I think you read Rainyhawk's post way too personally.  Her question, slightly restated, was "Where would one buy a tiara like that?" and NOT "Where do YOU, cinsays, get an idea like that??"  She wasn't attacking your comment, just asking a simple question.

    Even though green M&M's are supposed to make people horny, the yellow M&M is still my favorite, and it isn't close.

    As a television character, the yellow M&M is the most adorable.

    Licorice is supposed to make people horny.  It makes me nauseous.

    Which came first - the chicken or the egg?  The green jelly bean tale of making one horny is really a cause and effect situation.  It's not that the green ones make you horny.  The actuality is that they are the relief!  The legend has it as follows:  Canadian loggers worked far from home through long, cold, and tough winters to harvest their lumber supply.  In the Spring, they'd float the logs down river to the sawmills.  At that point, they were done with their assignment and would return home after many months away.  Naturally, they were quite horny.  However, they'd arrive home to find that their brood of annual children* wanted Dad to play and spend his time with them.  The solution?  Dad would arrive home with a large bag of green jelly beans which he would throw by handfuls into the springtime grass to keep the kiddos busy while Mom and Dad "renewed their acquaintance"...a win-win situation for all.

    *Generally, each year would add another child created during the summer heat and emerging around Feb/March/April.

    Note:  I live in a town settled and primarily inhabited by French Canadian families  This is the story they have told for decades.  LOL

    Just last month we got an LG fridge.  It made regular ice as well as the ice balls. 

    After a few days we turned off  the fancy ice ball feature.  We just didn't get it. They don't come out of the fridge door  but into a container in the freezer and besides they're huge!

    Ice balls are meant for cocktails.  They don't melt as quickly as smaller cubes so your drink doesn't get watered down as fast. They are a trend at high end bars where you'll often see a rocks glass with one huge, round ice ball in it.

    Just a bit of ice ball trivia for you:  Queen Elizabeth insists upon ice balls rather than ice cubes because ice balls make less noise when they clink together due to the minimal surface area that touches.  She doesn't like a noisy drink!

    Well i hope they burn her chair that's for sure.  No more preggies for anybody!  At least for a lil while.  Sara has said no more, but who knows about MM.  If they want more than one, she might again right away due to the hard time they had to get there

    Uh oh...Sara's in the prego seat - not good for her!  Let's hope the curse has been broken for her return.

    In the article above, MeAgain complains about all of the cruel things people say about her on a constant almost daily basis. Then says it doesn't bother her.

    Meeeeeeeeagan is damn lucky she's sitting at home right now, rather than waddling out on stage and hiking herself onto her stool.  Can you imagine the comments then?  This couldn't have worked out better for her.

    With her complete lockdown on baby updates and her insistence her child will be raised with total privacy, I wonder if she'll even announce the gender and name of her spawn when September rolls around.  I could see Her Contrariness refusing to do so just to be....Meghan.  She is because she can be.

  17. Ana was on Don Lemon's CNN show on Wednesday, and looked stunning in a sexy black top!  I don't know what the gurllll has done, but it sure is working for her.  Looks like she lost a little bit of weight because her face appeared slimmer and defined.  Her hair was FAB!  Had to do a double-take since I didn't realize it was Ana at first...but that voice is a give-away.

    It's always such a treat to catch a glimpse of her now and then on CNN.  Miss her.

    This is the crib Whoopie gave Abby - https://www.happiestbaby.com/products/snoo-smart-bassinet.  Since Abby received two of them, and Meghan only needs one, I'm sure she thinks she deserves something twice as expensive. 

    When I clicked on the link, my first thought was that it was a boring bassinet, until...

    The YouTubes on this are amazing!  I truly got sucked down the rabbit hole watching reviews of this product, as well as the manufacturer's promo, so about an hour in total.  I'd love to see an in-person demo, and I don't even have a baby.
