My vitamin subscription is so annoying! They send the next month’s only about a week after I open the previous bottle. There’s no way to adjust this apparently and they swear there’s no error. And I swear, I feel enraged when I see the “we’re getting your order ready!” email! I just can’t figure this out. That said, I also can’t figure out why it gets on my nerves so much either! It just does!

Can the ColoGuard people really not come up with a better song than one that not only rhymes “accomplishment” with “astonishment,” but awkwardly shoehorns them in where they don’t quite fit? They have too many syllables for the song, which is just My Way and surely can be parodied in a much more natural-sounding manner. Did they just think that these particular lyrics were just so great that they needed to be crammed in at all costs?! Also, shut up, Home Goods people dancing in unison to that terrible Tom Tom Club song — especially you, smug-face lamp lady in the front.

I had a jar (some kind of pasta sauce (I think; maybe it was roasted red peppers for sauce) once that just would not open no matter what I did, to the point where I knocked on my neighbor's door to ask him to do it. He couldn't either. I threw it away -- I probably just ordered Thai.

I hate a bedskirt, but NO to visible box springs (unless they're some kind of solid color that looks deliberate). Ours is off white and I hate it; I got around the bedskirt hatred by just putting a black bottom sheet over it. Come ON, Meredith!

I looked it up; it's some community called Daybreak. It's odd and quaint, but not necessarily in a bad way? Definitely looks movie-settish and almost resort-like, and my macabre brain can think of lots of things that could go very wrong under that surface, ooooh! But again, it looks pretty nice, if you like that kind of thing. ETA: I actually could totally get behind living in such a place if all of my friends and I just kind of took it over en masse.

Golf cart or not, I do not understand Whitney's yard and neighborhood at all -- the layout, the aesthetic, none of it.

In a way, it is real -- meaning that if it isn't Bravo producing certain story lines, then it is real people really being shady. Sort of like lying vs. acting. I hope that makes sense; it was hard to articulate in the way I wanted to! I kind of like her too. I find her to be sometimes funny and snarky in a way i like.

It was good! I loved the sets and wardrobe so much.

Maybe it's someone Dorit actually knows! OooOOOOOH!

I have heard about burglars waiting few weeks for victims to replace what was taken, and then go back and do it again. I can see this working due to many people probably assuming that odds are against their home being targeted twice. Or if they can't afford a super high-end alarm system after the first break-in.

My friends and I use to laugh and laugh at Chick Tracts in college! Sometimes, being bored art kids, we'd use them to decoupage random things and then leave those things around campus. But a security guard once caught us placing a broken old TV decoupaged with Chick Tracts and candy in a patch of trees. I don't know why or how this came about. (I feel like this information is somehow a dead giveaway that I'm a Gen X who went to college in the early '90s.)

I don't mind Whitney either; I kind of like her. I feel like Lisa is very annoying, but generally a nice enough person.

Sure. But I didn't say that she shouldn't drop it.

Haha, same! I have never been to one of these shows and that is more than fine with me. In fact, thank god for Uber & Lyft -- that way, if anyone ever surprises me with one (unlikely) I will have a way to get outta there!

Levi's never went out of style.* They're my favorite; I still have some from college -- they've grown up (and old!) with me! *Though probably not a long-term staple for someone like Dorit.

Eh, I kind of get what she was going for, I guess? I'd rather a close friend just say "I don't want to talk about it" than say that nothing's wrong at all, especially if they know that I can tell that something's wrong. That said, though, I do understand that saying "I'm fine" or that nothing is wrong is a way for some people (myself included!) to "stall" (for lack of a better word) until they work through it themselves before talking to anybody.

In the episode title, what is “matrimony” referring to?

I don't think anyone is questioning whether such situations can happen; obviously we all know they can. Can doesn't mean did. Speaking only for myself, I just casually wondered whether their history was (a) real, and/or (b) as dysfunctional as they're expressing on camera. I am not positing that they're faking for TV, just wondering if they might be.

This part is not weird to me at all. I had to do it a few years ago when I needed a new car unexpectedly (well, new to me; it was a couple of years old, but not from a private seller). Once I paid it off, I had the title transferred to my name. I just needed help at the time of purchase, and I know a few people who have been in the same situation. As for the rest, though, I think I wondered a few episodes ago if Monica and her mom may be in cahoots with the drama for air time. If not though, even if you don't dig Monica at all, I feel for her in this horrific relationship. Good lord, that mom is a mess. And she thought the guacamole was dessert, haha!

I don't have a dog, but it's my nightmare! It's why I will never, ever take my cats for grooming at any place that doesn't let me stay there (not that I take them for grooming at all, but you get it).

The Liberty Mutual commercial with the woman who saved so much money that she opened a dog-walking business, thinking maybe that it would be just so easy. I suppose we’re supposed to think it’s zany and cute that she sucks at it. Maybe I’m just in a foul mood (no maybe about it, actually), but it’s just not funny. Those are people’s pets. People love their pets and would be horrified to learn that they trusted dumb, overconfident loser to care for them!

Haven’t read all of the comments yet, but this one felt much closer to the original. I liked it a lot and it made me feel a little sentimental. Also, random: the brand of the milk Frasier drank at the end also has the best nondairy plain yogurt ever!

A self-centered asshole, no doubt, but probably not a legit, officially diagnosable sociopath. I don't think asking one question (albeit a kind of dumb one) is admitting anything. I haven't kept up on the whole drama around the shortage of diabetes meds (and I work in a pharma-adjacent industry; I worked on copy for one of these drugs before it was given a brand name), but I imagine that is what gets under people's skin,* if true. None of the people in Housewives shows appears to have serious health-compromising obesity issues, so the idea of taking a drug just for its possible side effects while other people actually need it for its primary indication is kind of questionable, IMO. As far as telling people what you're doing to lose weight, I agree that it's up to the person -- though rather than lie, I would probably just say "none of your business" or "I don't feel like talking about this." And, if they are also eating well and working out, it's not really a lie to say that's how they did it. Throw in a “yadda, yadda” after saying just those 2 things and you’re all good, haha! *Or maybe most people’s skin; I’m sure some people are just pissy and petty and jealous and whatever else.

Not that I necessarily believe Erica, of course, but this is super-vague and is not across-the-board true at all; there are most definitely hormone issues that can cause weight loss. Again, I am dubious that they apply to Erica, but to simply declare that "hormones make you fatter" is inaccurate. MODS: I am trying to combine these posts into one, but failing miserably.

Kyle, get as many tattoos as you like, damn it! That said, though, get something that looks professional; these do not look so good.
