He definitely makes mine flare.

An ulcer can absolutely give you bad breath. The bacteria (H. pylori) that causes most ulcers can wreak havoc on your breath, as can excess stomach acid. It might temporarily help to chew a mint, but until the underlying cause is fixed, you're going to have to keep popping them throughout the day. This isn't something that will be fixed with Listerine and an Altoid. Prevacid, Pepcid, etc would help more, but a visit to the doctor to treat the ulcer would be better. H. pylori technically CAN be treated with antibiotics, but it's not a quick fix.

They're always filming something in my area. I partially financed my teen years through movie work. I've been an extra in several films and I concur. At least they could sit. I was an extra in one movie where several pivotal scenes were filmed at a racetrack (horses). We stood there for four hours, in 30-degree weather, in the snow. To this day I'm still traumatized when I see Tobey Maguire. With what little information we've been given, I don't think we can definitively say what was up with those other people: - extras hired by production - regular people just caught in the crossfires but asked to hang for consistency - production crew members acting like diners - a lookout connected to the scam (guy by door) - diners just finishing their meals and the whole thing was filmed in less than an hour They all have merit.

When I was about a year old I was in a store in a buggy and this woman approached me and started in on the baby talk. "My name's Nancy. Can you say 'Nancy'? NAN-see. Nancy. Can you say 'Nancy'?" When she finally stopped, I apparently looked up at her and replied, "No, I can't say 'Nancy'." I've been a smartass from the start.

IMO @RealRealityis talking in a hypothetical sense. The odds of the woman in these photos being the person he's talking to are slim. We don't even know if this is the same person writing him every time. The replies are so generic there may be a "team" who trade off on responding. That's what's happened in previous similar scams. It's almost a bad Lifetime movie: crazy dude stalks chick in picture thinking he loves her and vice versa, but she has no idea who he is.

I had so much second-hand embarrassment for Erika. Steph calling her out in front of her friends was tacky and mean. Steph just keeps trying to find reasons to justify her keeping Erika at arm's length. It's not just that she's not being physical with Erika, I can understand taking it slowly and being practical, but she's just being a shitty friend in general. I've not seen any redeeming traits in her. Erika might dress like Rainbow Brite and overcompensate on the kooky stuff, but at least she's pleasant.

I could see the couple hanging out because filming was going on and they wanted to be part of the fun. Maybe the hostess or production crew told them what was going on and they wanted to hang around to see what happened. Since their faces weren't blurred they must have spoken to a production assistant at least once when they signed the permission form. But the timing thing? That's sketchy as fuck. Either TLC is frauding us and he really wasn't there for two hours or the editors did a shitty job of splicing the scene together. I wouldn't. be surprised if everything from the message from Lana (the one email she supposedly sent looked like an actual email and not something from the chat site) to waiting for 2+ hours was all faked. He could've been in that restaurant anywhere from 15 minutes to 4 hours and we wouldn't know the difference. I trust no one.

So I paused the clip of the door opening and though you only see a quick flash, it definitely doesn't look like a young man or woman. The forearm looks gnarly and wrinkled. I can't post a screenshot but somebody will eventually.

That's one of the reasons why the author of YOU (turned into Netflix series) wrote the story she did. She wanted to take a bunch of so-called "cute" elements found in romcoms and show how creepy they really are.

In reality, production would be putting David and their own crew in an incredible amount of danger having him chase this mystery woman to her apartment in a war zone. The Ukrainian mafia is a big deal and behind a lot of the various money making scams. When Rough Guides used to send us there we had a long list of dos and don'ts, as well as a lengthy list of red flags. I had an accidental run in with the mafia in a cafe I didn't know they owned and it still gives me shivers. No way would Sharp put their own crew in danger. David? Eh. So my guess is that this is all a setup by production. They know who's behind that door. Either production went there first, as they do on Catfish, or David's behind the whole thing and it's all a ruse for him, and maybe Lana, to be on TV.

Wait, what? He still loves Darcey? In the last episode he told her she was fat and he liked her as a sister. That's Tom realizing that his 15 minutes are about up.

Oh, David.

Ash talks in philosophy posters.

Not surprising.

Stephanie is so delusional that before this episode aired she got on Instagram and begged people not to be rude to Adam and Erika after this aired. She still believes that she's the one coming off this looking good.

He IS the bad crowd.

Oh, great. This fucker.

Ash backtracking is hilarious.

One of my best friends is the chick my husband seriously dated before he met me. She's lovely.

I'm embarrassed for Erika.

The fact that middle-aged Darcey believes that marriage is the "prize" and that there's such a thing as a "perfect relationship" is a big part of the problem.

Darcey and Stacey have had so much Botox that they can't cry.

I bleach mine then add color. I've been Rose Nylund white since I was 16.

Like the guy on Catfish who was convinced he was talking to Katy Perry. He met the catfisher AND got a video message from Katy herself and he still believed he was really talking to her.

There's quite a bit over there.
