Ed got her a room at another hotel for that one night. My kids are 8 and 13 and it's not unusual for them to spend the night at Grandma's and to call me 27 times and then to rush at me when I pick them up like I just spent months traveling over on the Santa Maria. And her son is younger. Children as young as Prince don't have great concepts of time. Could've been three days, could've been a few hours, could've been prompted by Granny or Papaw to react like that, or he could just have been really excited to see her and the TV cameras. Or perhaps Rose never stays away from home and that was the first time he'd been separated from her overnight. We don't know.

Agreed. Heck, once a year I meet up with a Polish author friend in Nashville and even he brings me and the kids boxes of chocolate-and we're both married and no longer trying to impress anyone. Jokingly as though it may have been said, methinks Geoffrey truly did believe the gift of his presence alone was priceless. (Spoiler alert: it's not.)

I'm from the same region (I was a performer in Dollywood's 1950's show for four summers-Save the Pines!) and of the same age and, yeah, it's weird not to go with a gift-even just a small one that represents where you're from. But so far Geoffrey has not proven to be mindful or considerate in any way so while it may be weird, it's not surprising. I would expect nothing less from this weed whacker.

Because he was so deliciously sexy before? 😋

It's a good question. I don't actually grow hair under my arms so I have no need to shave them. The only hair I grow on my legs is around my ankles, making me look like your average Clydesdale. Maybe it's a cultural thing? It would be great if some of our Filipino members could weigh in on this.

Hopefully something really, really strong.

The more Michael insisted that she wasn't, the more he made her sound like she was. If I'm not mistaken, we've had several reply to this who are actually from the Philippines...

Most countries are too big and have too many outside cultural influences for us to make a singular ironclad statement about them. Filipinos have access to the internet, to Western media and to outside travelers. Culture is not stagnant, it's forever changing. "Asia" is a huge place and encompasses many different countries whose own history and geography help shape their culture. Heck, you can barely make a singular statement that encompasses one end of my state and the other. Tribalism tattoos have been a huge part of Filipino culture for centuries and some of these tattoos were definitely not about being loose women. In fact, they were rights of passage. The Phillipines is made up of many different tribes. This female tattooist in the Philippines has been recognized as an artist. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/fang-od-oggay-kalinga-tattoo-philippines "Filipino tattoos symbolize unity and belonging to a tribe, in contrast to the western tattoo culture where designs are often used to show individuality"

I didn't think her dad shared the bedroom. He said he was going to, and it was a big deal, but at the end he popped his head in and it sounded like he said he was going to sleep in the bedroom next to them. He does share the"shower" (aka bucket of water) though.

I don't get it either but we see the same thing here. People having piles of garbage right in their house, yard, etc When I was a social worker half our calls were for cleanliness. There was one home where the teen daughter slept on a bed in the kitchen and every morning she'd get up and walk around piles of garbage and hop over a literal litter of shit (raw sewage leak in house). I never got it. You can be poor without being nasty. (In Rose's case, though, it seems like a cultural thing. I love India but some of the neighborhoods and slums turned my stomach while also making me cry.)

Rory passed up two opportunities from Mitchum and I think she should have taken them. She passed up one on Logan's birthday when M told her he had "newspapers all over the world" he could place her at and again in the reboot (Conde Nast). With newspapers and magazines floundering there are lots of journalists looking for work. In Rory's naive college world you just had to work hard to achieve what you wanted, but in the real world connections matter. Reboot Rory should've known this.

But it HAS been speculated about Annie (David), Aya, Hazel, Aika, and Daya. Juliana, Abby, Melissa, Niki, Akinyi, and Anny (Robert) have also been accused of prostitution though they're not Asian . So perhaps I should just cross out the word "Asian" and just say "women" though I hardly think that makes it better...

I think this may be a another Caesar. Caesar's narrative was "poor naive guy gets taken in by Ukrainian scammer." The truth was a little different. Lana may be the same. He's driving this "she won't give me her contact info and keeps standing me up train" but so far we only have HIS word for any of it.

She can tote it, she just needs Stephanie's eggs.

It sounds to me like he and Lana were never really"together" and that all the times she stood him up wasn't really as blatant as how he made it seem. He was already going to be in Ukraine and asked her to meet for coffee or something and she didn't show up. That's different than him flying all the way to see her and her standing him up. Also, if he's been with over 100 women in the Ukraine then that's not"dating." That's sex tourism.

That's been said for almost every Asian woman who has appeared on the show so far. Personally, I don't give a fudge. Whether she's a hooker or the madam of The Best Little Whorehouse in the Philippines, Ed and his mayo head is still gross, he's still rude, and Rose's situation is still sad. People turn to prostitution out of desperation; it's generally not a career aspiration.

There are two women. If one is girlfriend/wife than who is the other?

The cicada killers, aka European hornets, moved into this area 6 years ago. They are terrifying. The worst part is that they come out at night and congregate around light bulbs. They're super aggressive and HUGE.

Maybe so. My mom hasn't been in a relationship in 39 years. Her dating philosophy is "Live close by, visit often." She has zero desire to share a home with them or see them every day.

Tom is so thirsty that he is literally hijacking other people's posts and Instas to make them about him. On Sunday night he plastered himself to his own Insta for hours and this "successful" and "debonair" James Bond sat there and childishly replied to almost e every comment. It was a glorious thing to behold.

Someone sent a message like that to me once, threatening to sell them, and I replied with, "Really? No shit? How much we talking here? I've got some others that you probably haven't seen yet, if I send you the copies can you take a look at them and give me a price estimate? I'm kinda new to all this...Like enough to pay off my mortgage or...?" (My laptop's webcam has been broken for 4 years. I use a detachable one that mostly stays in a drawer.) Unfortunately, they never replied.

Fixed that for ya. 😉

It's like she is just a doll he can stylize and place. He doesn't seem to care what she wanted or liked- this is HIS show. Does she like hot baths? Foot rubs? Champagne? Doesn't matter. She just needs to sit on her butt (literally) and do as told. His relationship with his daughter is strained and he can't order her around anymore. Enter his new, younger model.

I never thought I'd say thid, but at least Angela TRIED to clean herself up and look presentable. There were even moments when, with the help of professional makeup and hair people, she even looked pretty (in a classy white trash kind of way). Lisa actually manages to look WORSE in her talking heads. It's fascinating...

So I feel like we're fighting two pandemics right now-COVID19 and stupidity. Unfortunately, we'll only find a vaccine for one of them.
