  1. Yeah I don’t find it too bleak either. I’m really enjoying it. When the female cop was interrogating Snake (?) why when he broke on the false detail was that treated like such an a ha moment? Fundamentally I get it but the way I read the scene it’s like they saw that has a hook, line and sinker confession. Did I miss something? Comtinue to be amazed how good Sela Ward looks. No relevance on this part but the opening house reminded me of the house Reese Witherspoon’s family lived in the movie Fear (if not seen - Mark Wahlberg is SMOKiNG hot but there is a sad dog scene). its a good show that I will definitely continue to watch. I started for Sisto but am staying as I really like all the characters (especially the male cop- he’s excellent).
  2. I don’t thing there was any ““gaslighting” I’m pretty sure it was a promotion. And a sad one. And I did it, The Scampi to me the was only one worth anything . Because of deal I withheld the crack laden biscuits and opted for broccoli as my side. I got a Caesar salad and didn’t eat the croutons. No carbs when you’re serious So my guy and I were there and we were going to eat some shrimp I went scampi double (smart) and he went some type of fried and scampi. He’s easy to please and I’ll say it’s a decent tartar but out of the box fried shrimp. I then ordered a fiesta or something which was a crime against shrimp. We ate it so they didn’t die in vain but this is when I had to tell him I love him but we won’t come here again. But it was honest marketing. Endless shrimp til whenever it lasts on the calendar. The girl was as nice as she could be but you just get to a point where internally you go, you know it’s endless and it’s shit and we will never do it again ETA I swear there was a post here about RL gaslighting. It’s too random for me to make up
  3. Yay! That’s great news indeed! I’m a little voyeuristic so if you spill details I’ll read them with so much excitement it will negate any monotone voice on the phone. I think your phone concerns were valid and the important part is you met in person bc the texts and other things kept you interested to see if you were right. I have a good friend who went on an online date (this isn’t directed at you but kind of in the same scenario) and the girl he was with was kind of awkwardly outgoing and inserted herself into someone else’s conversation. And he saw it as a dealbreaker. Otherwise he had a good time. I told him especially on a blind first date people can do all kinds of stuff with nerves, excitement etc. If you like her- please give her another chance. They have been together about 6 months now and things are going strong. We are all human and even the coolest subject to being weird when we probably are otherwise normal.
  4. I see a few drops on her side and a dry well on his. Yet I don’t see her sad with this arrangement which I find odd. I also think she is better of the two which makes it even more confusing. With that said, and I dislike him, I thought he handled the have another daughter talk well and managed to stay in the adult. In a matter of minutes I am going “fuck this guy” to “he is making sense”. Again this is all odd! Have mercy Gina is exhausting. Be my best friend though I’ll berate you and no one can teach me anything because I’m unique. Why aren’t you acknowledging my hurt? Why? I have no hurt- I’m happy I’m divorcing my best friend. It’s a regional thing you wouldn’t understand. Why don’t you understand my pain? I have no pain and hate to share my personal life. Why isn’t everyone catering to me spilling my personal life? Fuck off Gina and get a therapist or a dog. Kelly is so much prettier to me when her boobs aren’t on display (I’m small and dream daily of implants so not dissing them) but at the QVC airing she was so pretty to me in a long sleeved fully covered top. When she had her typical cleavage shot top on this episode I found her less attractive. I’m proud of her and Jolie’s work whether it’s only camera, too. It’s rare to see things like this (cut to Bethenny in a ball in a corner screaming “what about me”?’ Yes, we know you do too, Beth). I mean, where do you start with Vicki claiming she needs to get hitched to be a role model. Passive aggressive as hell and disillusioned if she’s really buying what she’s selling. However- I wish someone had helped her carrying the apps.
  5. Yes so much. When I first saw it and they panned out to show the son I said out loud “what the fuck Aldi?” How are people sitting in a room and they agree “yes! Let’s go with that”?
  6. My dog is an avid tv watcher. She gives absolute hell by barking to big dogs (she’s 50 lbs so seems to be selective and doesn’t mind the littles) on tv. She loved/hated depending on your take a Range Rover commercial that had beautiful white dogs. I need to DVR a commercial like that and play it if ever scared a la Home Alone . One rainy Sunday she watched Back to the Future from start to finish. Never figured out why that movie captivated her so much. Sometimes I wonder if dogs could be used for marketing. There are some non animal related ads that play and she will run from another room once she hears the first note of a song to watch it. She also loves Game of Thrones. There is one for TIAA (I typically love their commercials) and I love the whole ad but one has a baby during bath time and the innocent and overwhelming joy on his face gets me every time. I get tears but because he makes me so happy. Hope this works
  7. Oh no- that is so sad! I hope they get her back. I was zooming in and and really enjoying looking at her and then read this which made me broken hearted as well. Come home sweet pig.
  8. Oh @AgentRXS she is gorgeous! I’ll pay the transport to get her to @walnutqueen :) To make a long story short Knox had traumatic experience getting her nails trimmed as a pup. She showed true aggression on subsequent time so is unable to get her nails trimmed like normal dogs do. Ive paid for sedation throughout and anytime she’s had to go under for surgical reasons request to get them as small as possible while knocked out. Her left paw looks like Edward Scissorhands (right and rear ok- weird-this is an inside dog who goes on long walks on concrete daily ) and so I called Petsmart today and explained the above and they graciously agreed to try. Well they muzzled her and she writhed and yanked so much she repeatedly was hitting her head against the bar they used to restrain her. Out of concern she’d hurt herself they aborted the mission. They were phenomenal and I have zero complaints there. Does anyone have any idea a place I could go or what I could do? The girl turned 9 and I hate sedation when it’s elective. And at this point while long it’s not physically hurting to walk but that day may come. Is sedation my only option? She is the sweetest, most non aggressive dog but she absolutely will go there with the nails. It’s not a “just feed her Boars head turkey and get it over” kind of gig. If she were a person- she’d be in therapy from that trauma it seems. I have googled this but thought maybe someone here might know a trick or place where their slogan is “we will get it done” haha.
  9. Thanks! I meant add. I’m in the South so not sure if these are made elsewhere but sausage balls are a big thing here. I’ve never gotten the appeal but had some yesterday that changed my mind. I’ve always found them dry and hers were not so I asked what she does. She uses one lb breakfast sausage, one cup Bisquick and one package shredded velveeta. Rolls in balls and bake at 400 around 10 mins. She said they’re prone to sticking so use Pam butter silpat etc Not one you’d submit to Food & Wine mag but oh my word they were good! Made me a convert!
  10. I won best dessert at work. Have a ribbon and everything haha! To tell you the truth I found the cake just ok but boy it was a hit with the masses- and easy!. Goes to show you don’t ever know.
  11. I think you’ve made some great points that I think and you were able to put into words. And I’m with you- I’m not invested nor care if any live or die (though the lovers could die for boredom reasons anytime). With that said, I watched Murder House and Asylum while they aired and was so in. I have watched anywhere from 2 to 4 episodes of all other seasons due to complete disinterest. This season I’m finally back in again....for now. I love Leslie Grossman (oh Popular how I miss you!) but am not loving her character. Give these people some dimension. Spoiled brat is one of the easiest and dullest characters. Michael is a compelling enough character to keep me interested. It would be easy for the actor to be over the top but thus far he is playing that part perfectly. Why are none of them gaunt or super thin? Are the cubes magical and have exact calorie allotment no matter your gender, size or height to maintain your weight? Gah, even typing nutritional cubes is boring. Rubberman makes me feel claustrophobic and I always get out of the scene and think about the actor in the costume and wonder if it’s really hot. However I do like that character and always kind of have Speaking of- damn Evan Peters is hot. Sarah Paulson hit the lottery with RM treating near muse like. I don’t see it but I also work in a cubicle doing insurance and he’s a zillionaire so what the hell do I know. What I’d do know is there is power in numbers and I’d not be afraid at all to take her on. She’s not scary or intimidating and not that great at delivering lines. Like if I ended up there and wanted to escape I’d get the gang together and take her out and then we’d really have to get a plan together for Bates. She’s the real deal.
  12. That completely stinks. Mine was a (failed) attempt at humor. Though all cooking statements are true I’m glad to make something (on the cheap!) for my peeps! I usually drop well over 20 and the non bringers are the biggest intakers (this isn’t humor- this is real)
  13. I’m not making this for dinner but making for a tailgate party competition at work tomorrow. One year my friend made the most amazing spinach and artichoke dip and lost to “walnut and mayo dip”. Last year a homemade peanut butter pie was made and lost to orange snowballs. Orange gross things tossed in coconut. Look, as if life wasn’t hard enough our poutluck is rigged so gone are the days where I get Boars Head for pinwheels as I did last year in vain This year I perused the weekly ad for Publix for inspiration. A cookbook my mom got from her college had make chocolate cake (half price), poke holes with sweetened condensed milk (I went store brand- fuck you all non deserving Eagle Brand coworkers), caramel topping (smuckers-dime cheaper than Hershey), Store brand cool whip and real snickers (half price) ill let you know how it turns out
  14. What great stories I had visuals of them from your good storytelling. I love you had a dog named Zack.
  15. Put a blender in a marinade for chicken and shrimp fajitas. Going now. Will be done on a big green egg. Anyone else smoke/cook this way? Would love to chat. Grill the vegetables and meats, shred cheddar, sour cream and my boyfriend owns a lawn business and one of his customers gave him some homemade salsa and it’s amazing!
  16. My weird radar for Kelton continues. He seems like a robot programmed for “I will talk and smile exactly how I think I’m supposed to and never reveal my true self”. I seem to be alone in this and for that I’m glad and hope I’m wrong. I want the kid to be normal because I really like Josie but man, he seems non-relatable on all levels for me. In this episode Kelly made a statement that involved using both hands (think referencing when she had 3 tiny ones) so she had to remove her hand from Gil’s thigh and he did an insta thigh hand placement on hers. Do they think us normals out here will suspect marital woe if they aren’t touching at all times? I’ve never wanted children (though I love them very much) but I have always had animals. One dog today (Knox). When I see a puppy I may fall in love but I’m cognizant of the time, effort, money I’ve put into her and how special our relationship is. It’s so weird to me this “newborn” phenomenon and seems very short sighted and silly at best- stupid at worst.
  17. Something that is really good is Fritos dipped in pimento cheese and a small dollop of red pepper jelly (provided one likes pepper jelly). My mom did the exact thing and I loved both of these for same reasons you do! In fact I wondered if maybe my sister posted here and I never knew but she doesn’t eat butter-sugar sandwiches so turns out we probably are not sisters.
  18. It’s Zuppa Toscana and my SO loves it as well. There are some good copycat recipes on the net, too. I worked at Olive Garden in college (it was a hard serving job actually) and I think the quality has gone down quite a bit since then (early 2000s). Not that it was great then but I think it’s sadly worse now. Their rule was number of people + one on breadsticks and I always gave more bc it made my life easier. Same on salad. I did about double. And didn’t really have waste so it worked out and I wasn’t a constant refill machine. Im not sure how new it is but I tried Cracker Barrel brands Mac and Cheese. They had one like traditional shells and cheese and I got havarti and it’s fine if on buy one get one and otherwise not worth cost. Also tried a more home style one in a bag you baked and it was a letdown. I love homemade Mac and cheese and have tried so many recipes it’s comical but also enjoy some of the boxes occasionally. The creamy packet kind and traditional where you add butter and milk- I like them both. Latter only when I cook noodles 6 minutes and eat it almost out of the pan. It loses flavor each moment it sits. A leftover it is not.
  19. Yes, you are correct. Which is why first season it was akin to an SNL skit they said the word “charity” so much. And I loved Big Rich Texas! Brandi mocking Leanne doesn’t sit right with me. They are both kind of the underdogs in this group and instead of capitalizing on that work against each other. All said and done D’andra goes home to wealth and a hot hubs who wants to do her. Brandi goes home to a household of irritable red heads with large bows and LeeAnne goes back to a non commital hot guy who is thrice (?) divorced and oddly wears an eye patch. Neither with the financial backing of the others. They should join forces. I find Kameron super odd but didn’t need to see her daughter mock her. I don’t have kids so concede I may be wrong but do children come to these conclusions on their own? I’ve got to think dad has dissed the pink dog food. I don’t know- I can speak as a daughter and even at my age now I love my mom and especially at that age thought she was the greatest thing. It seems ok to mock “mommy” in that house which makes me sad. I’m sure she’s weird but not sure deserving of that. And if someone could tell that kid the 2nd time she said “awkward” was one time too many. Stephanies trip to Italy looked wonderful! Cary brings the humor and wealth- best combo!
  20. This show really needed a reunion. It left many more questions than answers. Yes so much to all who commented Louis is on tape saying he’s going to go fuck a ho. Catherine didn’t make this up or spread gossip- he said it! As an aside I don’t want to give too much thought into Louis but had he said a “hot chick” or similar it would have sat a lot better with me than “ho”. So he says that and then gives Catherine hell about her saying it? He lost all credibility or like I had for him. I love that Bravo didn’t cut him saying such pathetic things as he needs a blowjob and his penis touched. I love that’s on film forever. Ole Lou- if you’re in an unsatisying relationship may I propose that would be a fast track approach to ensure neither ever happens. Haha- you’d think I’m talking about an 80s light porn movie when in fact it’s vanialla characters on a reality tv show in Savannah. Man- what in the world has happened to Ashley? A bad haircut doesn’t age you 100 years. I salute her for going on camera. I gain 5 and shy from group photos and she’s like “I’m a completely different and puffy and odd looking person, I’m ready for my closeup Mr DeMillle”. Hagood will be just fine. Whether it’s sa-kaayyy or marrying money. She’s got nothing to worry about. I loved what Catherine’s parents said about marriage and actually said out loud (no kidding I did) “but Catherine and Lyle aren’t like you guys!” The editing was an insult to viewers with Lyle eyeing his faux girlfriend. Either present the drama as fact or leave it on the editing floor. This revisionist history we are supposed to accept as fact is absurd. And his faux girlfriend wasn’t even attractive (though he isn’t either so that’s fair). With that said I do like this franchise. I do not miss an ep where I will lag 2 or 3 weeks on OC which at one point in my life was must see TV. Something about it works but we need the real story, drop weird editing and FFS give us a reunion.
  21. I like Miracle Whip too (and mayo). And I very much understand what you mean about the subs Scooby and Shaggy eat. I’m also fascinated by most sandwiches eaten on cop procedurals like Law & Order. Commonly chased with a can of soda in a hurried fashion. I love: a good caprese sandwich turkey, cheddar, honey mustard, lettuce and red onion on wheat pimento cheese (pref homemade) on white roast beef, provolone, horseradish sauce, red onion and lettuce BLT, toasted Italian from Jersey Mike’s. On white- Mike’s way no tomato Bacon, egg and cheese with runny egg- toasted (confess I love mayo on this but don’t have the cajones to ask for while out but will do at home) Plain bagel toasted with chive cream cheese PB & J- strawberry with creamy PB, wheat Grilled cheese- love gourmet ones but also love white bread with more butter than the Lord intended, American cheese (pref deli deluxe by Kraft)- not under or overdone - shout out to mom for making best one Notably missing: anything healthy
  22. I’m new to this show. I worked from home one day and managed to watch an entire season OnDemand. And it still keeps coming so I watch as I find them a compelling family. Comcast wants me to pay to watch prior which no way and I’ve not found it free online. So only very recent stuff is all I’ve seen I don’t know if it’s a sixth sense or if I’m totally off base but I find Kelton one of the most non believable people. He has all those teeth and just reads full of absolute shit to me. He spouts odd sentences I guess the “elders” want to hear but I just can’t buy it. I don’t like him. At all. And I really like Josie. Isn’t he the one that did that bridge thing where they put lights? I thought he was weird AF then and the pre paid Aubrey’s dinner (not good- if you come to the South save your $) solidified it I quoted you because I want you to be right- I hope you are. He rubs me all kinds of the wrong way. One of my main takeaways from watching this show is why does their religion dictate you need to at all times while being interviewed grasp and intertwine so close and so bizarrely? We, as stupid viewers, I guess would never know if they weren’t dry humping while talking, that they were in love? The biggest difference for me is how much more I like Kelly and Gil versus Michelle and Jim Bob. First- Gil is just a hell of a lot cooler name than Jim Bob. this las episode where Lawson with his also way too many teeth and “ain’t I not the most hilarious guy but also great looking” gig (he also WAY gets my hackles up but in a different way. I don’t think he’s spouting so viewers will like him yet when he sleeps he knows he’s lying like Kelton vibe- this guy actually believes his bullshit.) he was saying they need to preserve the building etc Gil really acts the way you would in situations Assesses timelines and isn’t all about drama and fake weirdness I find both Gil and and Kelly refreshing in this odd world.
  23. I wonder if the Casaamigos tequila (which Clooney and Gerber (and others? have ties to they sold for a Billion- what I have done wrong with my life ) with soda and jalapeño will start being a thing. It looked so good in that glass. When Brittany and gross man were talking on their hike and she was so beautiful and refreshed I gagged when the camera panned to him. I like her! I don’t care if she ends up with a not so hot guy but damn she could do so much better than him! I hate to hear they’re still together. He’s a total d bag who I think views himself introspective when the reality is he’s a horrible bore and not very kind.
  24. If you make the gumbo let us know how it turned out! Looks like a lot of whisking time for that roux. I generally yell for relief when doing that lol. Publix makes incredible (albeit pricey) pre made salads. And I’m a huge sucker for Greek Salads. A few years ago I got one and there was a big scoop of potato salad on it. It was hidden by the information/price tag. I thought that was odd and actually figured the assembler made a mistake and said oh well and put it out for sale. Bought another and same thing! They’ve since removed it but that seemed weird as all get out to me! And I didn’t like it (though I love tater salad on its own).
  25. I caught it yesterday too. I thought everything they made looked great. And I liked them. Not sure I’d put the potato salad on the gumbo but it intrigued me. I am going to make that bean salad soon. That looked so good.
