  1. Thank you -- more or less what I thought. It would have been nice of Dan to confide in Neville earlier, but Neville overreacted and really has no leg to stand on here.
  2. Then I guess I misunderstood this ^ part of your post. It's fine, it's not that big of a deal. And like I mentioned, there could be boring med-legal rules that affect how dumb the wording is and what is allowed to be outright claimed in the ad, which would cause advertisers to take a twistier course to convey an idea -- and it's no surprise that companies are indeed going to edge as close to the line as they possibly legally can to convey "this thing will make you all manner of perfect, you'll see!"
  3. Some people go to a doctor about bad BO or foot smell or something and then that doctor may prescribe a special deodorant after determining there is no alarming health issue. Same thing. NO ONE is saying ignore a real health issue. Sometimes a strong scent is only that. That is what Lume is for. Hating this doctor lady is completely valid (and seemingly common -- she is right up there with Miss Original Jardiance, I think). But that can be done without pretending a commercial is saying something it isn't saying. ETA: Based on other commercials that have disclaimers to prevent dopes from trying "this at home," maybe Lume would benefit from a similar thing about seeing a doctor blah blah. But that may necessitate FDA involvement or some kind of medical-legal reviews or something.
  4. Unless it says that, I don't agree. I don't think she's allowed to make specific medical claims because it would likely trigger FDA disclaimers. She's stating a fact and then explaining a product. But she is not saying anything explicitly. It's just a poorly worded (possibly deliberately) commercial, like 90% of the rest of them. No, I have never once met people. What is those? But, so what? The commercial isn't saying that regardless.
  5. I totally forgot to come read this forum for this episode! Anyway, though, did anyone think it was odd that Dan introduced Crystal to Neville as only his dad's ex-wife, and didn't mention that she was a friend of his since high school? I'm still not getting what Neville was mad at -- and I missed what the $500 was for? Fines? If so, what difference does it make what Dan used that money for if the fines were also paid? Plus, agin, if it was for fines, those would be in Dan's name, not Neville's.
  6. I just cannot comprehend why it appears to be so hard to understand that "works for 72 hours" is not a challenge or a directive or synonymous with "yay, screw bathing!"?
  7. Oh, I am not judging you at all, I promise! People do what they can with stray cats that just become part of a family even if they can't come indoors for any number of reasons -- and those people most definitely deserve credit for that. I have seen people do so many things from simply providing food to trapping and neutering, building hideouts of Rubbermaid containers, or clearing space in (or even buying!) a shed for the cats. The scenario I was mainly thinking of was adopting a cat and then consciously deciding to let it be an indoor/outdoor cat. As for all the unlocked door stories, though, I am not especially afraid of people coming inside -- my Dateline comment was just because that's what they all say, haha! But regardless of how safe someone feels or I feel or what kind of neighborhood it is, my original issue was just that you should assume that you should fully shut someone's door when you walk into their home -- especially if it was shut before you walked through it!
  8. Only a million times. Luckily, the only similarity here was the shower part!
  9. TY! It is likely an ulcer -- not great, but not super scary either. Now it's just a matter of getting him to stay on top it.
  10. I am just not a person who can have an outdoor cat, whether it's full time or part time. ANY time outside means that it is always exponentially more possible that you will never see your cat again. I want to cry even just thinking about it.
  11. I have, on more than one occasion, been the open-door offender in my own house! It had brought in groceries -- usually way too much to carry in one trip (I don't know why I do this) -- and I let the door close behind me, with the intention of untangling myself from the grocery bags and then giving the door the final nudge and locking it. But something distracted me -- phone, hairball, grocery mess, needing to pee -- and i didn't do it. What I did do, however, was go upstairs and take a shower. We also have a door that, if left unlatched, will "pop open" if the main door downstairs opens. Luckily, my cats almost 100% of the time come hang out in the bathroom upstairs when I take a shower. But even so, the "what if?" plagued me all night afterward.
  12. Well, they better start, haha! If I had a party, I'd close my pets up in a room anyway, with a sign on the door. But I'd still be baffled by the front door thing. People are weird, even (especially?) my friends!
  13. I just don't get it, outside of an accidental moment of forgetfulness (guilty) or because you're going back out again anyway. But in the peeve I described, it was people coming into my place; why on earth would I want the door that was shut before they arrived to now remain open after they arrived? These people homes and doors of their own and I assume they close them.
  14. This seems like an extremely minor infraction to me, if it's even a violation at all. It's not abnormal for EMTs to say vital sign info out loud in the situation; they were just doing their job. Does HIPAA have specifications about reality show reunions? It was an emergency situation and they responded; it would be really dumb for someone to pull aside the EMTs and brief them on HIPAA rules, which they presumably know already. Plus, if it was an issue, Bravo could have edited it out. And maybe Sutton didn't care and gave consent. Recently, my BF had an emergency health situation* and was in an ER hallway for hours and hours (no rooms available), with various health workers coming to ask questions and take tests in proximity to other patients and those patients' companions. I may be wrong (likely) but I thought that most HIPAA shit applies mainly to professional entities and not just ordinary civilian earshot. *He's OK now, for the most part.
  15. That's how you end up on Dateline! Just lock it, everyone -- it takes 3 seconds! And if you live in one of those towns where everyone knows and loves everyone, then no one will harshly judge you for it.
