I think you are right. Maybe it was mentioned during an earlier season? Or between seasons? ETA: drivethroo and I were posting at the same time. Looks like they threw the book at Karen. Lots of charges. I would give my best vintage pocketbook to see police cam footage of the traffic stop (arrest?). Also, some jurisdictions publish arrest photos. I checked Montgomery County - nothing....yet.

In the early 60s, we were stationed at a USAF base, and many of the young officers had duplex housing. A decorated Black pilot and his family arrived at the base, and there was a furor because of racism. My parents were the only ones willing to share a duplex with this family. Years later my dad told me about how badly the Black officer was treated, routinely.

When Crystal first appeared on the show, there was a lot of comment about the age difference when she and Rob began dating. I think she admits to being 18.

BP can also increase with dehydration - ER docs were very clear about this in our case.

Blood pressure skyrockets with severe dehydration, and kidneys may go into temporary but total failure. Happened to my relative when he had stomach bug. Hospitalized for three days. 10 days seems like a lot, especially when hospitals kick you out real quick - maybe took awhile to stablize Sutton.

Merce Cunningham was a renowned dancer and choreographer, and I believe Sutton was selected to take class with him in NYC when she was very young. (I'm not watching the episodes so I don't know if she mentioned all this.) That was a great accomplishment, and she is probably proud of that achievement.

Kathy is not Hollywood-powerful. The Hiltons are colluding with Andy to craft this narrative for Bravo's viewers. Kathy is one of many of Hollywood's aging, nasty, narcissistic once-wealthy assholes living on credit and faded dreams. Bravo is the sisters' last desperate grab for attention, abetted by social media and attempts at third-rate TV shows. I think that Andy's days at Bravo are limited. His influence over network programming is greatly reduced these days. The rumors of his hard partying aren't helping his case. He has not objected to Kathy Griffith's public assertion that he tried to get her to do cocaine with him - twice, in his Bravo office - when they were friends. Bravo will keep the Housewives franchise as long as it makes money, but the rest of the entertainment world has moved on.

I was working in my office while someone watched this episode in another room. I kept hearing "PAUL!" exclaimed over and over. Clearly the writers skimped on the script for Paul's wife.

I remember reading a statement from TLC that their contract with the family required that June set up "accounts" for the children. Many have speculated that they were simply checking accounts that June was free to spend on Alana's behalf. I think we all know how that went. I believe that some people, such as parents of multiples, conceive the children with a plan to try for a reality TV show, or other income based on the children. It's foul.

My first ones were in Pope's Creek, MD. Rough looking joint with picnic tables covered by the ubiquitous newspaper.

There are multiple versions of these drugs, and if they deny Ozempic it means they are taking a different, similar drug. Erika did something similar when she claimed she had found better hormones; there's a drug that works that way but I can't remember the scientific explanation. At least 30 public figures have suddenly lost significant amounts of weight during the same time period. One can almost predict who will be next. As police detectives would say, there are no coincidences. They can do what they want with their bodies, except some of them are greedily and selfishly purchasing drugs that are meant for diabetics and are in short supply. That's the main reason they are afraid to admit using the drugs to lose weight.

it's become a boggy mess. I gave up half way through this episode.

There are multiple types of dementia, of which Alzheimers is the most well-known. At least two types run in my family, and I've posted on this forum that some people continue to function well, including at work, for a couple of years (but now no longer). I am a caretaker and my family member no longer works but has lived independently with a diagnosis for four years because of medications (I am slowly taking over finances, driving, etc.), but it will progress. I know of a physician, attorney and a federal employee who worked a while while having a diagnosis, although their responsibilities were increasingly limited. I suspect Tom had mild symptoms for years, and his family and business partners propped him up to keep the business going - Tom was the rainmaker who brought in boatloads of cash that paid their salaries. Often physicians will diagnose Mild Neurocognitive Disorder during the early phases of the disease, then use the term dementia after the disease progresses.

This. Nobody is forcing Ashley to make the choices she has made. She's living with the consequences, but she's living pretty well. Probably better than if she had never met Michael or been selected for the show. Ashley is never gonna take the straight job route. She's very crafty and canny, but her big error was assuming she could manipulate Michael. Oops.

I grew up near NOLA and I LOVED Treme. I heard it would leave HBO's lineup so I watched the entire thing again recently. Wendell Pierce has one of the best voices in the entertainment business. I'm also a two-spacer typist. However, in many documents I write or edit for the federal government, or for online content, I deal with extremely limited page allotments, so two spaces are out. I also know that Garamond type takes up the least amount of space on a page.

I wonder if Rupert Everett could pull it off.

AM's LinkedIn says she is a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. That's it. I don't see any mention of any kind of Ph.D. As for confusion over types of doctorate degrees, the clinical setting tends to make clear what the person does, and upon meeting the first time, the research types (Ph.Ds) tend to spell out "what" they are. I will say that my local, huge hospital system now uses the term "hospitalist" for what used to be known as the "attending physician." I can't keep up. And my gynecologist is a nurse practitioner at a large women's practice who is studying to be certified to establish her own practice so that she can focus on treating underserved communities (and be her own boss). I did not know that NPs were allowed to do this, but I think it's great.

Who should play Vidal?

"Rosie" Rosenthal was a storied B-17 pilot, known for his bravery and skill. I met his grandson and great-grandson at a 100th Bomb Group reunion. They've mentioned Doolittle in the episodes. My dad said Doolittle tried to convince crews who were "lucky bastarding" out of the 100th ("Lucky Bastard" referred to surviving the minimum number of required missions) to continue on bomber crews in the Pacific campaign. After surviving more than 25 missions at Thorpe Abbotts, my dad told him no thanks. How thrilling it must have been for B-17 crews to receive the support of the American fighters.

I really liked the first two episodes. Good pace and cheeky script: Steven. The kid slurping from an anachronistic straw. The thief who loves dresses. I've only seen Noel Fielding in the baking show, so this is fun. I'm in!

Yeah, the writing is a bit sloppy and all over the place. Too many characters and storylines.

One of my favorite all-time episodes. What a fabulous ensemble, and the episodic extras shift in and out seamlessly. Poor Miss Barbara! My mother stayed out of church-lady politics, and her treasured best friends were from her church. But I remember an incident where we watched wide-eyed and silent as several bossy ladies shrieked at each other about whether to put onions in the pot luck tuna salad. It's fun to see Janine's "corporate" fashions as opposed to her earlier baggy-dresses looks.

Case in point: a family member went in for a surgery with general anesthesia. When his BP crashed unexpectedly, it was the anesthesiologist (MD) who saved his life. (Not the surgeon. Not the RN. Not the nurse anesthetist. Although they all were a fabulous team.)

It appears that the exhausting trend of trashy cleavage is done. (For example, Garcelle's talking heads usually feature grossly displayed oversized balloons.) I guess Crystal didn't get the memo.

Morgan is using Kyle to advance her career. Nobody ever heard of her before she took up with Kyle. There could be a bit of sugar mama thing going on. Several months ago I read that Morgan signed to go on tour. She will be touring heavily nationwide beginning in a few days, through August.
