Scout Finch

The full name of the site is Meet An Ostomate so, yeah, good place to start! I think it would be reassuring for him to see that it's just normal people exactly like him, with all levels of attractiveness and widely varied interests. He could also get great tips on how to solve common ostomy bag aggravations.

It was in two scenes in this episode so it wasn't something I remembered. I can't recall most of what's gone on in any of the other seasons and the little bits I do remember I couldn't begin to tell you which season it's from! It was in the first scene when his mansion was being emptied out and it was in the foreground of one of the shots. Then, when it returned to current time and he was talking to Kim in/on the bed, I noticed it on his bedside table.

I wonder if he knows about Ostomates. It's an online community with support, forums, and relationship searches. In 2018 I had to have a colostomy bag for about nine months after diverticulitis surgery. Thought it was the worst thing ever but it took me less than two months--although I was quite angry and unable to accept it at all for the first few weeks--to get a handle on it after I discovered that it really had no impact on my being able to go do things like actively enjoying a concert or hiking--all the things I did before. I adjusted SO well that if the reversal surgery hadn't been successful I would have been okay living with it permanently. I was surprised at how ambivalent I was as it grew closer to the surgery date. Some of the ostomy nurses said that men generally have a more difficult time accepting and living with it. I've also never forgotten the sad story from one of the men on Ostomates whose wife was totally repulsed after he had to get a permanent colostomy bag, and had withheld affection ever since. I hoped he eventually divorced her! It seems the general thought among men, like Chuck, is that no woman would ever want to be with them. I never would have thought I could handle something like what I experienced, and it was so heartening to see how many vibrant, active people--of all ages and parts of the globe--on that site. It sounds strange to say that I truly am glad I went through it but I realized how strong and resilient I am and how something that I thought I couldn't bear became so blasé that I even made jokes about it. My dark sense of humor really helped. (Cleaning up accidental little leak on carpet at home and bursting out laughing at the thought of rubbing my nose in it and going, "Bad girl! Bad!") I really, really hope Chuck learns that it does not define him and that he finds a level of comfort and acceptance with himself, and realizes that it's not something that's going to be a deal breaker for all women. Damn, I can't recall ever saying anything nice or caring about Chuck before! Would I ever be able to likewise extend a little goodwill to Charlie? BWAHAHAHA!

His dad was such a sweetheart when he came all the way here to meet his grandchild.

LOL, at first glance I thought it said "I know they send the clothing to losers in other countries," and got a bit indignant! Just because someone lives in another country it automatically makes them a loser?! 🌎

Dry cleaning owner is trying to close but is nice enough to accommodate them. Me: "Geez, stop talking and pay attention to picking something out ASAP! You can talk about what's going on in your lives and Kevin's kids later." Then, instead of pulling the car over to the side of the road for their long walk, he leaves it just sitting in the middle of the road. Pearson! For some reason, I've never liked Sophie and really hoped things would eventually work out with Madison instead of having her end up with her schlubby husband. Cassidy was my second choice, even more so after the glances and moment they seemed to have at the cabin that night before she took off in the car, and then the tenderness and emotion he had for her later in the hospital. Damn it!

I was briefly on Twitter yesterday and Misha's name suddenly appeared in the trending sidebar!

Not a fan of big muscles or facial hair so this does nothing for me.

Embarrassed to admit that I blocked out most of that scene with my hand because I was worried there'd be a tarantula due to the closeup of the desert floor! A few seasons ago there was one in the sequence of images during the theme music. Needless to say I hate those moments in BB and El Camino! When I could tell the camera was panning upward then I looked. I didn't know that was a piece of glass, though. Thought it was just a bone.

Since it appears that Russian forces might also be advancing on Moldova, I wonder how Andrei's family are doing. 😧

I see that Huell's already mastered his pickpocket skills! The "I put you the in the wheelchair" made me gasp, just like Walt's "I let Jane die." I had completely forgotten about Nacho doing that.

Autumn, paraphrasing to Royal: What was down there? What did you see? I pushed you in so I could find out. Me, several times: Push HER in the hole if she wants to know so badly!

"Joe lies...when he cries!"

She was lucky she had the camera crew with her because otherwise she would have received a lot of unwanted advances and inquiries about how much she charges.

I'm way behind watching episodes so just got to this one. However, I'm already calling it: Harry will be back in prison before this season even finishes! If not, shortly afterward. He's obnoxious and his attitude needs a major adjustment.

Reactions from all of the Russian and Ukrainian 90 Dayers. https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/slideshows/90-day-fiance-stars-speak-out-as-russia-invades-ukraine/

Olajuwon has entered the chat.

There's a 73-year-old retired Vietnam vet from Florida who has joined the Ukrainian Army, although he has combat training. I, for one, don't doubt David's sincerity and for the very first time he's earned a bit of goodwill from me. I was only upset that he'd have to leave Mothra! The guys I dare to go over there are the camo-cosplaying "patriots," so they can put weapons where their mouths are and fight for freedoms that truly ARE at risk.

Yep, I noticed it and was coming here to ask if anyone else had!

I was really interested to know what was going on with Natalie and Yara's family and friends but didn't realize how invested I was after "knowing" them for a few years and how very impactful this intimate dimension would be. I wonder why Yara didn't say anything about her mother? I'm also curious about how it's being perceived of by the Russian 90 Dayers: Julia and the two Alinas. Especially those who live outside of Russia, like Julia, and whether her friends and family back home believe her when she tells them what's really happening versus the propaganda from Russian state media.

After years of ongoing dental problems due to chronic dry mouth from medications, I eventually had to get dentures back in 2019. Over many years my dentist kept saving as much and many of my teeth as she could but eventually I was having more and more difficulty chewing because teeth were gone on both sides; she had said many times I would most likely end up needing dentures. I'm lucky in that unless I do an unnatural-looking, wide psycho grin you can't see any of my teeth! I was so scared to get dentures because as it was, I wouldn't wear the top partial I had because the metal palate bothered me too much when I was trying to eat and it felt so unnatural. There would be no turning back, though, if I didn't like the dentures, not to mention a big waste of money. At the denture clinic they pulled my remaining 16 teeth and did bone grafts for all. They did the work on the upper part of my mouth and gave me an immediate denture during the first visit, and then did the bottom one on the next visit. SO glad I got them! They don't feel at all unnatural, unlike the top partial I'd had! I took a picture of my bottom teeth before I had that denture put in to compare to the upper denture and I was horrified at how what was left looked and glad that it was difficult to see my teeth to begin with because it was so embarrassing. I stopped to show my dentist my dentures and she was so happy for me that she gave me a hug! I went to an affordable denture place and all the extractions, grafts, and immediate dentures only came to $7,000. I wish I could have afforded implants or the snap-in dentures, though. I know that gum disease and other problems can affect your overall health but was completely unprepared for the lifelong migraines I've had--that would last for three days but thankfully were lessened by sumatriptan--to immediately cease after I got dentures. In addition to now having nice-looking teeth and it being so much easier to eat (although bottom dentures are generally a pain to get to stay on securely), that chronic health change has been a major bonus! I'll get maybe just one or two a year now and no longer have to refill the nine-pill sumatriptan prescription every month!

Surprisingly, Willem Dafoe. Even though I don't recall if I've ever seen any of his movies, I've always had the impression that he just does dramatic, darker roles. So it was so unexpected to see just how much fun he was having and I think I laughed more during this episode than any others this season.

I thought it was one of the worst episodes of the season. I laughed once during the cold open and a couple of times during WU. I ended up fast-forwarding through about half of the show, including the musical performances.

There's PDA and then there's get a goddamn room!

Aaaand the footage which I finally found a link to. TLC didn't waste any time pulling as much of it off the Internet as they could but there were lots of people who downloaded it just in time. Like this one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CPipkP7k-v1XvCEtPwdhzK4-dBYkw_aw/view?usp=sharing First half hour is blank, then video and mic checks, etc. for Shaun and David, so move ahead to the 1 hour, 10 minute mark when the taping finally starts. There are also periodic gaps between segments. It takes a strong fortitude--and stomach to watch it, especially at the 7 hour mark when BabyGirl Lisa comes on (her friend Nikki is an equally trashy piece of work). Meanwhile, the entire time Shaun also has a producer in her ear and her expressions occasionally suggest that she's screaming, "Serenity now!" on the inside.
