    In the very first commercial for Lume, Dr. Shannon claimed (based apparently on one very small, unduplicated, study) that women were overdiagnosed with infections and overtreated when consulting their gynecologists about vulva-related odors.  So I very much take it as her saying to use Lume INSTEAD of consulting their doctors.

    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.

    Have you met people?  There are some who absolutely would assume 72 hour deodorant meant they didn't have to shower.

    No, I have never once met people. What is those?

    But, so what? The commercial isn't saying that regardless.

  2. 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.

    Plenty of people don't always take daily showers, and it's certainly not a universal rule that people need to (two articles for example, but it's widely noted). (My own habit is: If I exercise or otherwise get sweaty, I always take a shower before I go to sleep, but if I basically sat at my desk all day and on my couch all evening, I may very well skip it). 

    Fundamentally, in terms of the commercials:  I have not seen a Mando commercial, but the one for Lume I saw that similarly talked about how long after application it controlled odor was not presented in terms of showering vs. Lume, it was showering vs. showering plus using Lume.  Is the Mando commercial even saying "Hey, use this and you don't have to shower for three days" in the first place?

    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!"?

    We both grew up that way. We haven't done that with several sets of cats now but in our defense, all of our cats back then were strays and I seriously doubt we could have kept them in.

    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!

    TattleTeeny:  I'm glad your BF is doing okay.  I wish him well and hope things improve. 

     

    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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

    That's not very professional and EMTs are 100% required to follow HIPPA, and someone's blood pressure is DEFINITELY medical information. 

    I am more convinced than ever this was planned/scripted. And the EMT guy was fake if he didn't protect Sutton's privacy, which he clearly didn't by reading it right into the camera. 

    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.

    My doctor has said out loud BP with other non medical people IN the room that I consented to be there it’s not a HIPPA violation ..Sutton didn’t ask for anyone to be removed for “privacy” and  especially it was a medical emergency.. like they would have had to clear out EVERYONE non medical related to comply with that rule if it were true .. it’s literally what your BP is .. it’s not different then sitting at one of those machines that anyone can walk by and see when you take your BP 

    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.

    (It should also be noted that I watch too many cops and robbers shows and I get bothered when people in danger or in dangerous neighbourhoods don't lock their doors when they get home.)

    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.

    There is a thing called Misophonia where people get enraged when they hear chewing or eating sounds. I can’t stand it either, but maybe thats what you are experiencing? I think it can be for any sound which drives people out of their minds, like hearing someone else breathing, too. 

    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!

  11. 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!

  12. 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.

    I mentioned up above about this ad, that these two people spoke no more than 5 words to each other on this "date." Who sets up a "date" like that??? I also see this ad way too much.

    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?

    PS dancers are very handsy with each other.  Mo holding hands with his dance partner off stage is absolutely normal.  It just goes with the territory.

    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).

    They both sure took off fast after Kathy entered the room. Maybe it was editing but it seemed like a quick exit to me. 

    Which would make sense, as there appeared to be a health issue in progress.

    whenever a person has wall to wall tats it makes me wonder what they are trying to hide.  

    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.

    Lala expresses her desire to become a mother again;

    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.

  16. 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.
