I saw this news and decided to watch some of Season 3 (why are my decision making skills so poor!). I had watched one and two and had to hell with this prior.
Whether it’s cameras or not- they never seem natural with each other. Part of that is her- she’s always on and “hilarious and laughing” with most people. But like she got back from Chicago and they gave an awkward side hug. Not that I think you should jump your mate- just overall they seem kind of....meh around each other.
She mentioned they hadn’t sold the house and I looked it up and it’s still on the market from what I can tell. I’m from a large but not as expensive city in TN and I actually think 4.9 seems a hell of a deal for that mansion and land. Anyone have any intel why it won’t move?

Sorry meant to add I am totally down for a rewatch. We just changed/downgraded to Youutube tv not sure what will be offered as might be a a downgrade.
Which brings me to a VPR real life. Guy I’m with now is divorced and his ex is VPRish.
We were out one night (I live downtown and she does not but randomly was in same spot) and got in my face and screamed “I have been waiting years for this -you are such a downgrade!”. She’s more of the third tier Villa Blanca never even gets a name on screen but feels Stassi but hell Im 40 now but have never been confronted and I did one thing- I burst into laughter. It was a surprising reaction as I hate confrontation but will never not say “you are such a downgrade” when I get the chance.

Alas, it seems to have been wiped clean off the internet. Believe me, I looked for it!

Do you ever listen to "Sexy Unique Podcast?" They went deep into the Schwartz baby talk in last week's episode.
Thank you for this!!! The podcast is amazing. I have been listening to The Margaret Cho which is good (not about reality tv) but this got me walking hours with my dog! I love the host and had no idea it existed.

Kody can not want them to take on loans, but it’s not up to him. I took out all my loans under my own name—my parents didn’t sign a thing. There is a lot of money for the taking out there as long as you sign on the dotted line. I had no credit and I was able to finance three years at an expensive private law school “just because.”
I would never, ever, ever, ever give back my law school years for anything—no matter that I’m in debt now; it’s not like credit card debt, it’s very malleable. So maybe my experience has varied from others.
I just think it’s an old school mentality to wait until you can afford school to go there. It’s very smart to get things on credit. If I waited to get a higher education until I could afford it, I would still be waitressing and bartending in order to afford tuition, and I would be entering college when I was around forty, which is when the average person’s earning potential skyrockets. Having my education paid for in advance gives me the same earning potential of the fortunate sons, if you will, so it’s actually really democratic.
The problem with the Browns is that they spend their money—whether it’s cash or credit—on very stupid shit, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t make a ton of sense to finance things without the cash on hand. If someone can’t tell the difference between Victoria’s Secret and university, they should probably go for neither.
I just know that I think it’s a great investment for a gorgeous girl who is living within a razor’s edge of neglect (which is a form of abuse) as a nomad with a cacophony of other children and women who are spiteful and a father who doesn’t give a shit to take this opportunity and run with it. It’s like an educational version of “here’s your one chance / Fancy don’t let me down.” 😀
And this isn’t politically correct of me, but I don’t care, because it’s about the future of a young woman—I think it’s a great investment to spend more on a private institute of higher learning than the closest state school, because you become exposed to people of means, many of whom are very generous and you sort of get to be rich by osmosis, which allows you (or at least it allowed me) to dream bigger for yourself than you ever could have imagined. Going to a prestigious school also provides the student who took out the loans with post-collegiate networking opportunities, which ups their opportunity to get a better, higher-paying job so that they can afford to re-pay the loans, and then there’s the obvious—it’s highly likely that she can meet her future husband at college, and she can very well set herself up for life if she selects a mate who shows intelligence and a great disposition for hard work.
My bottom line—Ysabel is not stuck there in her dark, dank home in Flagstaff. If she wants to become another Brown victim/statistic and take classes commuting to the local college from Christine’s house and maybe becoming a sister-wife of her own, do it! But don’t let it be said you didn’t have other options. Free will is a beautiful thing. There are always excuses why something isn’t prudent or safe—people gave me a million reasons to stay home and get my education, and I came from a very normal family—but you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelet, and if I were her, I’d bet on myself long before I bet on any of those losers.
You’ve been very honest I’m going to be very honest with you.
I know you from a message board and I know Ysabel from a reality tv show. Record stands- you’re a lot smarter than she is.
Theyre not talking Chapel Hill- they’re talking normal college. Like the kind I went to. She can thrive and do all kinds of stuff should she choose.

Why is Katie obligated to invite Kristen to any of her parties? They're not friends anymore. Kristen has said an equal amount of crappy things as Katie has said about her.
Kristen has been exhausting in every single relationship she has had on this show. And she never has a clean break up. Not once. Sandavol, James, Carter--constant yo-yoing back and forth. "I love him, I hate him, he's my best friend, I can't live without him, I can't live with him, I hate him but will have sex with him on a beamer hood, I want nothing to do with him but will go out of my way to trash him".
She's exhausting. I would have dumped her as a friend at this point too.
Agree Kristen is exhausting. But I also see a vulnerability/sadness in her whereas I see Katie as a stealth bitch.
When Kristen asked her pups if they wanted to drink wine with her and called them best friends it felt real to me as opposed to “this will look cute for the camera”. Maybe it’s moments like that which keep me on her side.
Now Lala, I straight up cannot stand. Her treatment to Raquel was unacceptable. And fuck her for life for even going there about a Michael Vick dog. Unforgivable.
On a shallow note I thought even if I had the body of Raquel (didn’t at 17- sure ain’t gonna happen now)- her outfit at the wine party looked so uncomfortable to me! I do find her beautiful.
I would be irritated if I was James at getting the alcohol anvil always thrown at me. To be sure- Schwartz, whether he meant it or not, was out of control on the booze (and how many times has Jax been!) yet will get the awww, it’s Schwartzie treatment.
And I’m a person who loves wine as much as anyone so not a comment on alcohol so much as unequal treatment of the players.

@KnoxForPres, I want a 2nd dog soooo much, but like you, my dog (one year younger than yours) is the queen around here. She grew up with my sister's dog (he's now 14) & always got along with him, but last time I petted him, she kept shoving her head under my hand as if to say "No, pay attention to meeeeee!!!!" I can't imagine how pissed she'd be if I started paying attention to another dog who actually lived here. So as much as I'd like doggie #2, it's a no-go.
Yes, agree. It was the fostering with all this home time calling my name for sure.
In an even better update the shelter has publicly announced ALL adopt/foster able dogs and cats have been taken in and asked all others to be patient Such great news in a time where it’s so bleak!
@MargeGunderson if that duo lived with me I’d probably never get work done because I’d draft an email and say okay- now that’s their most adorable yet and stare and watch , pull up an application and go-oh no, that is illegal to be that cute. And so on and so forth. I’d stare in awe and wonder all day!

Mitch said it would be up to Aspyn. He stated he was open to the idea, but another potential person would have to approach Aspyn. She was hard to read with the giggling that she does. Mitch said that he couldn't see himself "actively seeking another woman".
According to Christine's story it was Aspyn that pursued Mitch in the first place. She always had a crush on him and then called him out of the blue after they met again at the Polygamist march and after that they were a couple.
This was a time that I actually agreed with Kody with the fact that this needs to be discussed with a very clear decision made BEFORE the marriage.
Yes I think she’s doomed for polygamy. If it’s even out there for discussion she will go all in.
@LibertarianSlut made one of the best posts I can recall reading all time but like her it drove home the lack of work experience.
Has Kody ever had a real job? His “big ask” and I think at the end yelled “you can call me at midnight” was one of the most awkward things I’ve seen on this show. And think of the shit shows we’ve seen with this crew. I think that call was real
I live with one person and a dog but I’ve been praying for about 2 months He will give us a 15 bedroom. Why is life so unfair? (Insert you’ve lost all your looks in 10 years and furrowed brow and odd larger chin here)?

I feel compelled to foster an animal right now given my at home status. My only caveat- Knox the Dog.
She’s 9 now and foster would come from shelter she did. Here’s my concerns:
1) she’s always been number one and gets to do whatever she wants (she’s an amazing dog so this is really involves being loving and amazing)
2) She barks and tells off the new moved in next door dog and especially doesn’t like it if I show it love. This is getting better but exists.
Do you think I should give it a go or let the old girl live her life alone? She’s a strange dog. Nothing bad has ever happened to her but she gets fearful. Example I’ve tried to take her camping and she’s scared and spent entire time in dog bed in vehicle (fully ventilated and I wound up sleeping next to her- not comfy fo me). She’s a 50 lb (Adorable) mutt so that is strange.
Bur damn I could give a dog a great escape right now. I love dogs so much and being home like this could let it have constant happiness. Anyone else like this or what do you think?
Follow up I called and they are overwhelmed with people like me! And said to go online to check out when I could come. The closest is Tuesday so there are a ton of wonderful people in this world 🙂

I’m still working every day, I work at a pet food store. Essential. We are still swamped, even though the governor has issued a stay at home mandate. Whole families filled my store today, all day. Out shopping. I feel trapped by their ignorance and bad decisions. Yes, social distancing. But when I ring someone up, I am maybe a foot from them. Not to mention all the people who are angry and “going elsewhere” because our distributors are out and can’t stock us with certain dog foods. Good luck, sunshine. If we can’t get it, neither can anyone else. People are SO ugly out there.
Yes they are. I was at the store this week and this nasty old man was griping “I’ve been here 3 times this week and each time you’re out of chicken” in a very hateful tone to the overworked, underpaid and lovely worker.
I wanted to say “Why don’t you go fuck off somewhere else and leave her alone”. Instead I stayed silent and felt very sad and walked on.
So know for every jerk you encounter there is likely another one who wants to pick up 50 LBs of kitty litter and throw it at them but don’t know what to do in the situation. I am proud of you for going in and appreciate all of your hard work. Stay strong, kiddo.

The Cook's Essentials Multi Use Strainer w/ Two Bowls & Lids has been a game changer for me. I bought a set for my parents, sister and a good friend for Christmas.
That seems like a paid advertisement but it’s just copy/pasted from QVC.
I was never good at getting grease out of ground beef etc. This thing is awesome. You get all grease off and there’s a pour spout to get rid of. It’s got lots of uses but that’s to me by far the best.

That is such a wonderful photo @MargeGunderson! You have a gift!
When I had cats they were always a single I got as a stray or from a shelter so don’t know a lot about duos but I’m kind of blown away at their immediate companionship! What a joy for us to get to see it, too! Really happy for all of you.

So I have another pet peeve.
My weight fluctuates and I’m over my fighting weight right now.
We have a gym onsite at work which I have recently taken advantage of. I’ve realized how out of shape I am but have been attending the noon classes and loving it. Yesterday I was told it would be stretching class bc so many were doing a marathon. I decided I’d just do the treadmill.
I walked at what was to my out of shape butt a high speed on the treadmill for 40 minutes. Then I hit the cool down button which drastically decreased it to slow speed. I overheard one of the marathoners say “what is she doing- one mile per hour?”
Im 40 so it didn’t sting but I wish he had not said it. I don’t love how I look right now and am actively doing something about it. That comment wasn’t necessary or helpful. I’ll keep going but I’m not sure I would have at 25. So let’s just fuck off with overtly loud comments.

This happened to me this morning complete with waving smiley face. I immediately thought of this conversation. I was in the middle of working on an escalation and kept waiting for the actual message. After about 5 minutes I responded, Hello. The I get "quick question" and nothing. I just kept working on what I was doing. I shouldn't have to pull out of you what your question is. A full 10 minutes later she finally asks the question.
That drives me crazy too. And it happens more frequently than we’d think. The upside is 60% of the time if I don’t acknowledge the pleasantry the follow up question doesn’t come. I also hate “can I call you” with no details.
My pet peeve is the new guy behind me at work who chews gum after lunch. I don’t chew gum so I won’t be good at describing what he’s doing but it involves snaps, gross noises, movement sounds and makes me want to vomit and irrationally angry.
I put my earbuds in but I’m the odd one who when I’m really focused I prefer no podcast or music so I resent having to put them in to stop my gag reflex.

I swear she has a minimum word count for these Strive posts and once she hits the word count she just stops. It doesn’t matter what’s typed as long as she hits that word count. Janelle’s thought process for Strive:
Does the topic make sense? Who knows
Is the topic interesting? Who cares
Did U write 250 words? YES!
(says to herself after hitting her 250th word) Janelle, you’re such a rockstar!
Shoutout to @DakotaJustice- while whole thing was painfully funny bc likely true this part tickled the hell out of me:
“The housekeeper’s making fried chicken and waffles today and you know how much I love waffles. See u ltrs. K.”
But to my quoted post it does reek of that. Down to the use of “huge” decision of self care. Ugh! Self care is like busy mom to me! Paid off in “huge” dividends to take a shit topped cooler on a trip!
Its weird bc when I watch this show Janelle seems smartest both intellectually and often emotionally. But I read those posts and they are so horrible it makes me realize she’s a complete dumbass.
To me her post read like when I was in middle school and felt very deeply about a Nirvana song and wrote in my journal about it. It makes me cringe to read now but I feel like I can see her mind- “I’m going big and deep this time. A simple cooler changed my whole life”.
One time at work I brought in some broccoli and opened the Tupperware and almost passed out from the smell. This will sound like I’m lying. A guy at desk near me exclaims In disgust it smelled like something has died. At this point I am internally dying. I was new to this position and Skyped my new coworker “I need a real friend right now”. We got that thing in a bag and took it out to the dumpster but I felt alone it would be obvious I was the culprit. We are close to this day.

I feel bad bc I love him so much but my pet peeve right now is a loud snorer. He sounds like he’s doing a sound check for something in Jurassic Park! If I can beat him to sleep I’m fine (shout out to Costco melatonin) but that was not the case tonight so I’m on a couch and sending this message!

Do you really not know how to get under the covers or have you learned it’s easier to paw at them knowing I’ll cover you up?
Would you have picked the collar with dogs wearing scarves in a convertible, too?
When I say things in a strange voice like “I went to the shelter to adopt a dog not realizing I’d get an angel” do you like it or say “cut the sappy shit already”?

I just watched this episode. Three wives at the end of the table, looking comfortable, talking, laughing.....Meri separated from them by the table and the counter, not talking and with a dreadfully sour face. Meri looked so different from the pictures on her SM . Is Meri acting on the show, because this is her assigned role?
Also, did you notice that Meri has a brown\grey tooth on the bottom role?
Yes. That scene played out really funny to me too. They all talked incessantly about the “big house” and when they asked Meri what she thought she was like “on the big house?” as If they were maybe asking her if she liked pineapple and cottage cheese- she needed the clarification.
Every second Robyn is onscreen she has a furrowed brow or is crying. This isn’t a woman who is happy. Yet is such a stealth bitch as said here. Her (not dis) pleasure at having her house sold - we see you!
I think they all felt their oft used “autonomy” in Vegas and realized things ain’t too bad on their own. And Meri has shown you can find love outside of the lifestyle- but it may end in you giving a BJ reference to a carrot Catfish. So that’s less than ideal.
Let’s be real- as Robyn begged during vision board- women can take of themselves without a man. Kody (I hate to admit) was decent back in the day. Now he’s just a hyper selfish weird hair motherfucker.
They’re saying “we are fine!” We don’t need this.
But it’s also boring for viewers to be into this season and his stupid PowerPoint still drives the drama.
We don’t care about anyone birthing babies, we don’t care about the big house- we need you adults to own up to real feelings and have some knock down yell fights.
We need “I don’t want to raise Robyns kids!” “I don’t really ever want to sleep with you again!”
This one from Robyn-“My first husbands dick was way better!”

Growing up in the South I learned these things called sausage balls are a real favorite. I never understood the hype until a coworker brought them in. Her secret? Velveeta shreds in a bag.
Ok I’ve lost you and that’s fine but hear me out. If you Google sausage balls you’ll be overwhelmed with “you must shred your own cheese” which those who love me can attest I do that in every recipe I make. This is the exception.
I can’t find it on the net so here is the best recipe for sausage balls:
one package original velveeta shreds
one package sharp cheddar (for this I buy Sargento- yes the pre shred!)
1 lb bulk sausage
2 cups Bisquick
Use a Mixer (flat hook best) and Mix all together. You will have to use your hands for small amount of remnants.
Roll into golf ball size and put on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes
Eat immediately or remove and place in Tupperware type container and let them steam and do awesomeness.

S08.E16: Witches of Weho Whine
in Vanderpump Rules
I thought it was funny how Stassi referred to herself as the Beyoncé of Destinys Child. Really aiming high there, Stass.
I said in her forum I went to her (really kind of lame) show when it came to town and she and Beau just think they are the most adorable people. He has hitched his wagon hard. And he will pay for any misstep she thinks he makes.
It’s kind of like Britney and Jax. When one person is a gigantic ego- though has their moments of clever and wit- and a hanger on comes to town and they fall in love I don’t suspect it will end well. The person who has to fawn is only allowed to do that and nothing else.
They’d be better off dating equals- heck maybe Season one had it right when they dated each other. How many Beau and Britney talking heads of “I just love them unconditionally” can it take til it hits the fan and the egos either cheat or yell “Kristen or me!” Completely irrational shit.
