Almost 3000

I'm old and my friend who has grandkids says they use "dude" for boys, girls. pets, etc...

I so agree plus he gave her a gravitas she doesn't have naturally and she's trying pretend she still has it.

Ed should offer to give the sister money (the exact amount she secretly asked for) to care for Prince while RM and he go on "holiday". He's seen how they live so by giving her the money this way, everyone knows about it but he doesn't have to out the sister's request to RM.

War of the roses...

Bethanny Frankle of RHONY had her wedding album cover designed w/ her spouses head cut off. Yes, really.

I used to love Karen Kane dresses cut on the bias and yes in 100% cotton. The bias gave them a bit of stretch or "ease" and they draped beautifully.

thx ~ I somehow lost it about 90 days ago...

Where's the live chat???

Man, oh man, this reminded me of something my elementary school principal said to me when we met again when I was in college going for my teaching credential. The school was and is a parochial school and I went there in the fifties just to give perspective. There used to be paddle on his office wall that was used (it was the 50s people and it was a thing then and not now) as punishment. He told me it wasn't about pain but about the shame of whatever behavior brought the student to his office. I've since then thought a bit of shame along with accompanying accountability helps keep things running smoothly. Without a bit of appropriate shame we might become a society of narcissists and sociopaths. On topic, I've always thought Whit was probably narcissist.

I've never thought Jason was a bad guy. In over his head, yes. I'm glad there are posters who are mentioning the other side. I'm tired of poor abused B.

Me too! But I paid the $9.99. Have them on right now...

I think I'm mis-remembering something but didn't LisaR have scenes with Eileen talking about their mom's having dementia and how hard it was to have a relationship with someone who doesn't remember you? I thought her mom was doing poorly. Her mom seems perfectly fine to me. I was just thinking that production does it and it helps them control the event.

Fair review from ytuber that doesn't know Ericka.

Oh! Now this is very important because I run a volunteer group that sells donations. I always use "10 for $1" for our final sales because I can't figure out the cent sign. Help me please, how do I make that elusive cent sign???

Yep, I get a "Dirty John" vibe.

I'm also remembering a scene with Dorinda and Carole. Dorinda made her do the body balloon pop game and mentioned how much she loved the English country games people played and wanted to do them at this house party too. I think the games are reminiscent of her good times with her first husband. There's such a sadness in her and I think she's never gotten over that life.

The more posts I read the more I can't figure why Lisa/VPD gave Dorit's family a puppy in the first place. There's a rescue near me just north of LA that is similar to VPD but you'd never know that there is wealth behind the scenes and that the rescue is a passion project. Because I've had interest in their dogs and they've explained how they place dogs, I know that they wouldn't give a puppy or small dog to a home with little kids. They would look for a home with previous dog/puppy experience and with possibly another trained and balanced dog and definitely older kids. That said, it seems like Dorit got special consideration with the first dog and definitely with the second. I wonder if Lisa's partner wasn't 100% behind the placement in the first place but did it because they were friends of the Todd's. After Dorit didn't return Lucy and VPD had to re-rescue her the two Johns had fits and Lisa did try to keep the peace with everyone because of Ken's request to keep the story quiet. Teddy gets the story because she's a friend of VPD and from there it becomes a Housewife storyline. I think the story really starts with it being a bad placement in the first place. VPD was negligent in giving a puppy to a chaotic home that thinks a dog is an accessory with no agency. It started wrong but ended up hopefully with Lucy in an appropriate placement. And as an aside, Lucy while being put into a very stressful situation probably wasn't in danger from a kill shelter because of the micro chip and all the rescue agencies that have relationships with the shelters. There are many rescue groups that take all the adoptable dogs out of shelters. Its actually hard to find a healthy pet under three years old in a shelter around LA and Ventura Counties because the rescues snap them up.

Weird, sloths are a huge design element at the 99 cent only store. I didn't get it there either.

I think many TLC "stars" with shows that were renewed in the last few years should send thank you notes to the Duggars.

I have a theory that they had so many people they had already interviewed that they built a show around existing resources that cost them next to nothing.

I think she looks like a little gnome. And no I'm not just being a troll. I wonder if her perceived cuteness is because Jinger is currently the only likeable Duggar. There I said it...

I think the homemade bread recipe is a Gothard thing that many of his homeschool families used.

You got me and that just proves I don't own any but would love to!

I so agree with you but with a caveat I would sport brands that have my initial or initials. Cole Hahn, my first and last name and got loafers with CH on them Calvin Klein, first and middle and just got some cute CK initial sandals at TJMax Coach watch has a big "C" on it. and finally Channel, well just because... ;^)

Josiah heard there's good money to be made making Mukbang videos for YouTube? Not a bad idea really but probably better suited to Josh because it combines his eating and sharing it obsession.
