Well if you didn't buy it you can pat yourself on the back for not adding $ to the K-Klan Kingdom. If you did and it looks kute and not kheap you can feel secure in knowing no one would know anyway.

Anna hauling the luggage on her Honeymoon. Kinda says it all.

Wow, looks so different. Good find.

I was just going to say Brandi looked like crap but the usually treacle Mail-Online slammed her too, well at least her hair. Her extensions were unforgivably bad. She's to thin too and I'll bet its helping to ruin her hair. Lack of proper solid nutrition no doubt.

The book is controversial because several kids have died by parents saying they followed the Pearl's techniques. There has been media about it and a push to get Amazon to ban the book. Michael Pearl suggests the use of plumbing pipe, wooden spoons and other available items to "train" your children. Its much more than immediate responses, its child abuse.

My first thought was that AND that's where all Bin's father's prefab housing would go. I always thought JB had his eye on that family business.

Yep, I've always felt they miss the point and fail miserably at living and or even representing the whole J.O.Y. thing they themselves promote.

I don't think Ramona makes her retreats because of what she says although she makes it worse. I'm pretty sure some situations give her anxiety and that is what she reacts to. She needs to remove herself from the situation before she starts the verbal diatribes that relieve her anxiety. I can see it happening because I'm the same way. I can get so worked up about something that may not seem to be a big deal and just have to say something about in much the same disastrous way.

Thx Maple Surple because it was always in the back of my mind that maybe he did and thought it odd it was never brought up on the show.

I've always thought the Duggars were more politically active than recruiting or witnessing for Christ. They just soft sell this part on the show. Their deal seems to be lifestyle choices which at the top of their list is creating a voting army for their agenda. Having babies and stopping anyone else's choice to birth control in any form is paramount and they back like minded candidates with their time and money. The big problem with this is they want to take away hard won rights we currently enjoy. I find them to be very militant in this regard.

I like Harry too but only in connection to various cast members. He's an interesting combo of ex husband, father, sweaty aging playboy, dated (or more) at least two (or more) cast members shows up to round out the Housewife dinner table. He's just another version of the typical gay husband that has become a Housewife staple but I don't really want to know more. He can continue to be a just be plus one and that will be enough.

I always ask myself if its first a true tale or second does it seem to be production pushed, tweaked or scripted for season continuity or third is it "Gretchened" which for me means completely fake and will eventually piss off both fans and Bravo. In this case I vote for the second choice with Brianna being paid to appear.

That and her lips seem so tight and pinched. She's really just turning into her mother.

The funeral and Sonja were cringe worthy BUT saved by the ladies lovely funeral chic outfits and their trying to hide fits of giggles was pretty funny too. Both Sonja and Kenya should hire Phaedra for their future pet memorials. I can only imagine the pomp and nonsense of those events.

There's a couple of You Tube videos that show "koo koo Kelly" and she really is odd...

Quote I thought they looked very different too until I noted a shot of the two of them in the same profile. Same nose that looked like an Italian Indian possibility. Lizzie also was wearing her usual heavy make up that gives her a very harsh look compared to her sisters natural appearance. I think with washed faces they'd look more like sisters. Yes! Ubi, I couldn't believe Vics hit the waiter. Wow...

Micks Picks These are the programs that Bill Gothard has been running since the 60s. The programs were very successful but are currently experiencing decline. IBLP: The Institute in Basic Life Principles was established for the purpose of introducing people to the Lord Jesus Christ, and is dedicated to giving clear instruction and training on how to find success by following God’s principles found in Scripture. ATI: The Advanced Training Institute International (ATI) is a home education program that provides curriculum and training to support parents in raising their children to love the Lord Jesus Christ, reason wisely based on the principles of Scripture, have world-changing purpose in life, and give Biblical answers to the needs of our day BOD: Board of Directors While most of the followers do home church or go to conservative Baptist congregations all homeschool their kids using Bill's curriculum and attend his programs.

Giggy is a pom and he's medicated because of severe itching. I assume something like Benadryl which makes people sleepy. Lisa has said it was recommended to put him down but she wouldn't do it.

I read somewhere that neither set of lawyers moved to have a closed court. (take that as you will) If true and I were Bethenny or Jason I'd be furious. Bethenny's team is used to high profile cases and should know better. But then again, maybe Bethenny really wants the dirt finally out there on Jason because she sure never seems to miss an opportunity to slam him.

Hi all! I've been addicted to the Housewife franchise mainly due to snarky board chat, gossip and insider info on TWoP and until recently wouldn't have been able to pick a favorite but New-York-City (said in the way of the Bravo opener) wins out for 2014. The rest have just turned into a team sport with screaming as their point system. No one wins and its just ugly so my addiction is ending elsewhere. NYC still brings some watch ability. I enjoy the clothes, real estate, frick and frack, the Countess and the rest and look forward to keeping up with the ladies here. I was "chainey" on the other side. Someone in the RHW Where and Goodbye TWoP thread said something about sadly not being able to take their post count with them so I thought I'd just bring them along with me so now I'm "Almost 3000" here. (the one warning point for boards on boards gratefully stayed there)
