Ugh, this reminds me of the Manga mascara commercial with the exaggerated and vaguely offensive accent. Oh, me too. I hate "nom," I hate "num," and I even hate "yum" and "yummy," especially when it's used for things that aren't food, e.g., "This sofa's leather upholstery is just so yummy!" This made my BF (who is far more tolerant of shit like this) say, "It's not like that, it is that...asshole."

I hate Melissa but is it really "copying" anyone to get a puppy? It's not uncommon to get a dog.

He's at least been out lately -- a bunch of people I know ran into him in some horrid "clubby" kind of bar near me last weekend. Other Joe was there too, but I didn't detect anyone else in the FB photos.

Prepare for a... unique taste not unlike carbonated children's Robitussin. I can't speak of the cannolis but I assume they taste like any other of the bazillions you can buy in NJ.

My bad, then--clearly I should have read more carefully. And you're very welcome.

You might have a point…but I like her and I still watch because of her (and hers, to an extent). But I also think that the show has become boring and formulaic for people, Teresa fans or not--and Sunday nights are notorious for DVR conflict (which reminds me, speaking of Sunday-night shows and also tax evasion--I completely forgot to watch Boardwalk Empire). I think the other poster's point was less about who taught her and more that the bosom gesture says nothing nefarious of a toddler's (or anyone else's) hypothetically criminal tendencies.

I see what you're saying. And, yes, J & C are allowed to be mad at Teresa for revealing things in magazines and not to her close friends (though the articles I saw were complete fluff--answers to largely hypothetical questions, and said practically nothing of substance). If they were mad, they could have said that--or shunned her, or given her an ultimatum, or whatever--without pushing for details that she was not into giving, for whatever reason. My issue is with not respecting--and putting personal curiosity above--a friend's wishes (no matter what you might think of those wishes). Oh, and ETA that, of course, I realize that this is in the context of a TV show and exposition and story line and blah-blah-not real life, etc., so maybe J & C were prompted (and paid to) to nag Teresa.

Eh, I disagree. If I told my friends that I didn't want to or couldn't talk about something, and they continued to press, I'd find them a bit disrespectful (though probably not "bad" friends across the board). That's why I though Caroline and Jacqueline were wrong for trying to interrogate Teresa a season or two ago (plus, I got the impression they were just looking for "dirt"). I tend to doubt we ever see Melissa without makeup.

Oh my goodness, and why, why, why does she talk like her jaw is wired shut? Is it sexy? Ugh. And I usually reserve judgment, knowing that most reality-show people are often only as horrid or as awesome as a show's story line wants them to be, but I did not like her at all. I see a bitter woman who was mocked by her peers throughout her formative years. And now she's an oh-so-alternative mean girl because she'll show them! (I get carried away sometimes with hypothetical back stories.) Also, come on now--I want to see tattoo work. I don't want contestant fights and drama. Project Runway seems to be able to do that for the most part, and focus on the work; I wish this show would too.

People love firemen but they shoot at the police!

I like them. Now, I don't want to join them for dinner or have a sleepover or anything, but I think they're funny--and I am not even a huge fan of "fa[r]t humor" in general. They seem to have a good time and actually like each other's company.

And, look--you can have your very own copy for a completely reasonable price! (What the hell, man?) http://www.amazon.com/Ive-Been-Waiting-Sarah-Chalke/dp/B00009YXGU/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1409494377&sr=1-1&keywords=i%27ve+been+waiting+for+you

I love those two Tori Spelling ones*! There's also a non-Tori one with Hilary Swank as a nasty, rotten teenager who slams her mom (Joanna Kerns) in the face with an old-school telephone. Then she goes and rocks out on stage with her boyfriend's dumb band. Her wild rockstar outfit appears to be a tied-at-the-midriff Old Navy-looking orange fleece and an oh-so-sexy boxy khaki skirt. Scandalous! And The Wonder Years dad is Hilary's dad in it. And the there's I've Been Waiting for You, starring Roseanne's Becky2 as a descendant of witches. Punky Brewster is in it too. * In DoaC, why the hell is Becka's sister eating a cucumber, which she is slicing with a knife...while she is driving a car? It is so stupid!

My UO is that the ending of True Blood is fine with me, whatever. And who cares who Sookie married because it was not the point! Ugh.

Even in the throes of the feud(s), I'd every once in a while notice Teresa and Melissa in the background of a scenes (the ones where one or both of them were not the focus) just standing around or talking and just acting in a way that looks (from a distance, at least) to be completely normal among people who are perfectly comfortable in each other's presence. I remember at the horse-therapy spa vacation, the focus was on Joe Giudice but in the background, you could see Melissa tap or whisper to Teresa, and Teresa just hand her some lip balm, all no big deal... that was what made me wonder if those two were more or less OK with each other outside of the show, because sit looked so ordinary/everyday, like something I'd do to my own friends and vice versa.

I've rarely, in my 40+ years in North Jersey (about 10 minutes from Giudice territory), heard anyone with that kind of accent. As far as stilettos, I'm not a fan, but I know plenty of non-bimbos who wear them frequently (though hopefully not in the nasty winter conditions we had--though I have an idiot coworker who wears ballet flats in any kind of weather because she's an idiot).

And why was she acting like she holds some important bigwig job? She's in an open-layout environment, not her own office, and her peers are casually dressed. Seems kind of like your average call center. I haven't seen this one yet, but I have seen the original hair-flippin' one. We also have a car dealer who decided that the best slogan ever is "where buying is fun...an' EASY!" complete with weird, hands-to-the-heavens gesture and vague stereotypical "goomba" accent. I forgot that I'd have to deal with him when I moved back to this area; he's been saying that shit for years.

There's a Blue Buffalo one made with fine-grain walnut shells that's pretty good (as is World's Best cat litter, I think). All the non-clay ones are better for cats' respiratory systems. I tried Feline Pine but I felt like it got too soggy. But, like you say, active scooping is key! At least once a day here, often twice if I'm home all day--especially if I'm in the vicinity of a particularly aromatic incident (thank god my two little beasts are done with kitten food; that makes it so much worse).

If anyone else is in the North Jersey area, does this commercial drive you to drink? Ugh, I feel a little bad for hating a very cute and probably very nice girl, but shut up, shut up, shut up!

I'm late to this but this is not at all true. It is so very easily avoidable. I can smell everything (and that is not a gift, I tell you) and neither my house nor any cat owner I know has this going on. I've been in a few homes that could benefit from not Febreze (because that shit stinks to high heavens, and closes my throat up to boot) but from gasoline and a match. But that smell is from not cleaning, not just having a cat (my ex-BF's uncle's house still stands out in my mind; I wanted to free those cats from that hell). Granted, there are moments (particularly baby kittens who have the worst poop ever--I swear, if they didn't look so cute, no one would let those things in the house). Also, I do think that the right litter has tons to do with it too--one of those things for which paying more probably matters (like tattoos or handbags or…something). Oooh, ask a large portion of people in my BF's North Jersey hometown after the severe weather of the last few years. He had three floods (five feet of water) in the course of 18 months (one within two weeks of recarpeting and drywalling after the previous one), and had to be rescued by boat. The water does not necessarily overflow from a lake or river; it comes up through the ground when the ground is saturated, even if that saturation is partially due from heavy snowfall that may have melted weeks earlier. My BF would look into his backyard--even on a day with no precipitation, see the bubbles in the dirt/grass, and start hauling shit upstairs. That said, the voice of the lady who says, "But I don't even live near the water" sounds so pathetic, like she's really trying her best to sound distraught, but it's coming out just whiny. And, yes to whomever mention "wonder of summer"! That voice is horrid!

I am not by any means a bastion of grownup-lady maturity but the idea of this adult man with a job he wants everyone to believe is oh so serious and important is running around having Twitter wars is ridiculous. Way more so than the women of these shows, for which public bitchery is kind of part of their roles on the show, I'd think. EDITED because I meant "bitchery," not "butchery"!

To be fair, the show did make clear the reasons that Buffy was with Spike.

This happens! My sister was a "bad kid" at home, where she really seemed to like to push my mom's buttons. But out in public and at school, she was good as hell! Teachers loved her!

She probably took the cab to wherever her car was parked, or to the train. I don't actually mind meeting someone for a date; if I don't like him, I can leave whenever I want. Or, if he's a crazed maniac, he won't know where I live or shove me into a trunk (when I'm not watching this nonsense, I tend to keep the Discovery ID channel on the TV).

I just don't understand "frozen hot chocolate" at all.
