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.

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.

Seriously, this site is nearly impossible to deal with on a phone now. Yeesh.

Oh, definitely — I have no doubt of it; it’s a lifelong thing for me. But even outside of my own issues, I still think it’s a really stupid thing to do in a podcast!

Right. No one thinks you wrote it; it’s what comes up on the TV listing info.

I'm listening to the Watch What Crappens episode and am about to scream and throw my phone and unsubscribe if Ronnie doesn't stop making wet mouth noises in his Kathy imitation (she has candy in her mouth in his impersonation). He did this in the Vanderpump Rules recap this week too (I forget for who). Just fucking stop it; podcasts are for people to listen to with their ears. It's not funny -- it's enraging!

Well, I might -- but I always have a lid! Why are there no lids?!

People who don't shut the door behind them when coming into the house! This is the weirdest thing that some of my friends have done over the years, and I just don't get it! Happened today -- a friend is here doing some painting for us and, while the door was closed in the sense that it wasn't flung all the way open, it was not like all the way pushed into the frame; it was just kind of resting there (which means that when the common front door to the whole building is opened, it kind of bumps ours open). I don't understand why it's not a reflex to shut the door, like it would be at one's own house (I assume). Years ago, I had a couple of friends also guilty of this and more than once, my cat got outside. And it was terrible. Nothing bad happened and I always got him back, but it was terrible nonetheless and I hate even thinking about it decades later.

It's so weird all around! The hug, for instance: not because they just met -- that doesn't bother me -- but because they don't appear to have had a chance to "click" regardless of when they met. And then the super-abrupt "movie's over, OK bye!" of it all; I know it's a commercial and we don't have all day, but no walk to the car or implication of getting a drink after or even standing around for a minute until the Uber gets there -- just a weird hug and walking off in separate directions. Between this and the one with the girl in the red dress returning from a date at what seems to be 2 in the afternoon (oooh, maybe they got lucky the night before!), maybe advertisers are confused about how dates work?

The image I saw looked like they were walking outside together. I would think that's pretty odd if I saw my husband doing it, regardless of whether he's a dancer (which Mauricio technically is not). Which would make sense, as there appeared to be a health issue in progress. Most likely nothing (and adding visible swatches of ink to one's body is not the best way to divert people's eyes from anything). Most of us just like them.

Apropos of nothing, I can't decide if this wording is weird. She is still a mother already whether or not she has another kid. On the other hand, maybe the "again" goes with "become" as opposed to with "mother." Either way, there's a better way to state this. Anyway, carry on.

Part of the reason I might not mind a hybrid office schedule is that I sometimes want to wear my "real" clothes again.

Perhaps we are supposed to assume that the person has already been to a doctor and has confirmed that it's not a health concern. Is there a disclaimer anywhere in the commercial that mentions consulting a doctor? And does anyone actually use the term "instead of" in the commercial? Body parts -- feet, armpits, junk, whatever -- just smell sometimes, not to mention that different people may have different opinions on what is bad/too much/too strong. I just really don't see what's any different about a commercial for this thing and a commercial for other deodorants.

Maybe. It was really random and then we didn't even see them.

WHAT?! Those boxes were like what wedding dresses get stored in!

With you on all of this; I like WFH a lot, but would take a job (nearby, no more long commute!) that wanted me to do a couple of days in person, just for a change of scenery. I'm lucky; my current position doesn't care if I split my time with household stuff, as long as I am not delaying anything. It makes weekends so much better now, because I don't have to cram all kinds of boring to-do list items into just 2 days "off."

WAIT! What was in those big boxes that Scheana was carrying into Ally's house? All I know is that I wondered that last night, then Ally started talking about Taylor Swift, we saw a video from god knows when of Ally singing, and then I never found out what was in the boxes! Also, Jo seems like a "pick me" girl. I find her annoying.

YES! I almost added, "Hopefully the 'what if...?' doesn't make it worse." I have that: even after something (not everything, always, thank the gods -- just certain things) ends up more or less OK, a little time will pass, but then I start to ruminate over what could have happened. It's a nasty cycle.

If I were being generous, I would think that Lala is telling Ariana this because she --Lala -- learned a lesson by icing people out (and then later un-icing them anyway). But a normal person would, you know, actually say that part instead of judging and yelling and being a real hypocrite. They all break the fourth wall and have been doing it for a while. Just the fact that they openly mention Ariana doing Chicago and DWtS is an example, as is the notion of people on Instagram bashing Scheana. It is possible that it could, in a weird roundabout way; if she can glean from it that shit happens but typically doesn't end in a tragedy,* she may be able to make some steps in her OCD issues. It sucks that Summer was hurt to that degree, and I personally can't imagine not spinning out a little bit over it in Scheana's place, but the experience could also serve a purpose similar to exposure therapy. *Not that she doesn't already know that; the OCD just makes people struggle to feel confident of that.

What the hell is up with the Kleenex lady cooking food on the stove? Is she trying not to sneeze? Does she want to sneeze but it won’t come out? Is she about to die? Whatever it is, she’s really overdoing it with the face acting. And, ugh, Stouffer’s! “Meaty cheesy” is almost, but not quite, as stupid as “happyfull.”

Haha, OK! I was wondering why that part was not upsetting!

I'm sorry -- I am really not trying to be an asshole, but does this commercial actually say "diapers changes"?

What I wonder, though, is what is it that we'd want the ads to say? Obviously the manufacturer wants people to know that (and maybe how and why) the product is different than deodorant made only for armpits. So would a more clinical, scientific style be better? Or if the "you can use it on your delicate junk" part was in text only at the bottom of the screen? Or if the person talking about it wasn;t that particular lady? I'm just wondering. Personally, I don't find them inappropriate or anything, but also not silly or funny or especially relatable either. The other thing I don't get about the responses to Lumē is the annoyance that it works for 72 hours, the "just take a shower!!!" thing. I don't think it's encouraging people to neglect normal, routine hygiene, it's just letting them know that if external forces get in the way of it, it's all good -- or, you know, if someone has a legit medical problem that causes some smell issues in this regard. In other news, I actually saw a commercial that made me laugh. I think it was for something to do with AARP, maybe? It showed a guy -- obviously someone who's been an adult for a while -- fall off a skateboard and say, very deadpan, "That was not radical." I don't know why that last part was so funny to me, but it was.

When I see the three Ps commercial -- the one with the Ps with four lines after them (P_ _ _ _) -- all I can think of is Cheech in From Dusk Til Dawn saying, "pussy, pussy, pussy."

God damn it. Take that back -- I really don't want to have to find a new job at my age!
