  1. There is an article on line indicating Whoopi actually pretended to be 6 years older in order to get acting jobs when she was young! lol

    http://stylecaster.com/celebrities-who-lie-about-their-age/

     

    Using that as a starting point and keeping her dyslexia in mind I subtracted 6 yrs from her fake birth year and did an internet search 

    It seems she was born in 1949 (same year as her brother or is she using his birth year?)

    None of the info on his death mentions his birth date- just the year 1949

  2. If their last name was Smith an unusual name might work-

    but with their name easily mistaken for Sea World (as others have mentioned)...

     

    I picked Christopher for my first born because our last name is a difficult one and I wanted to keep things simple!

    - My first call to schedule an appointment for him went like this "Is that with a C or a K, is it spelled with a ph or f"

    (We were living in Northern, ME where I assumed traditional names and spellings were standard!)

    In the end he uses his middle name Vito (his grandfather's name) that I fought long and hard against (because of my incorrect assumption about names!)

  3. If they could change the birth date of Anna and Josh' youngest (so it wouldn't coincide with the announcement of the show ending)...

     

    Why didn't they hold off on Terry Cloth's birth announcement and pictures until Jessa could participate?

    Isn't there any soft baby towels/ receiving blankets around the house?

     

    Jessa should be pissed!  While she was being treated- her cray cray family really took over!

  4. Ugh. People magazine website has the "exclusive" story. Still no name announced.

    Jessa (Duggar) Seewald Opens Up About Difficult Home Birth and Why She Was Rushed to the Hospital: 'Everything Was Different Than I Expected'

    This quote enrages me:

    "I said, 'That's it! I'm done! I am going to the hospital and I'm going to get an epidural,' " she says. "They asked me if I really wanted to do that and I said, 'No, I don't, but I do.' I wanted to try natural if at all possible."

    Really? Who is this "They" referenced above? So much fucking pressure all the time.

    Why is were no name? The kid has a name. I wasn't allowed to leave the hospital without a name on a signed birth certificate. Perhaps Arkansas is different?

    The baby is cute. There is a photo of Jessa with Ben and baby. It's a very real picture of a post-partum woman. Jessa looks pretty big (again - real! I'm not body shaming). I guess she doesn't get final say in pics People chooses.

    Controlled by her parents since birth- Now controlled by TLC and People.

    She can't make any decisions (baby name) on her own.

  5. This years version of the easy bake oven is a Girl Scout Cookie model-

    On sale this week in the Target flier for $49!  (original  price is $59)

    Glad my kids are grown- Who can afford toys?

     

    Wonder how much The Suzy Homemaker one (the oven we had) cost back in the 60s! lol

  6. My ex MIL gave me used soap one year at Xmas.You know those fragrant little soaps in the shape of seashells or butterflies that ppl used to put in baskets in the washroom or stuff in their underwear drawers? I got those one year. .dust on them. .and they had either gotten wet or melted somehow in places..as the design was worn off. I laughed until i cried but thanked her graciously. (cus i was brought up by a normal mother).

    Another story that never fails to amuse is the time my new husband forgot my birthday until my mom reminded him. It was after six the night of my birthday. .stores all closed except little corner store that had a rack of old dusty cards in plastic. .remember those? He runs to the store. .proudly hands me this old yellowed card...it has a cross on the front of it with a little pathway in dirt and the words "Across the miles at Easter..to someone who is like family to me. "

    My birthday is December 20.

    Another time i laughed my ass off and i still have that card and show it to my sons every so often.

    They say "no wonder you ended up divorced."

    But i actually keep it cus it reminds me of a time early in our marriage when i still adored him and his dumbass ways! Haha

    While dating- I received a Valentine's Day heart shaped box of chocolates- The sentiment on the box clearly indicated they were for a woman to give to a man!

    He wasn't the best reader so it wasn't a biggie-  I never even paired it with the fact that our divorce was final on Valentine's Day!  (until this moment) lol

  7. One of our family jokes is the fact that my daughter and I will cry at ANYTHING even remotely emotional. As a 4th grader I had to read "The Yearling" and cried so hard I got sick. When my daughter got married this past June she gave a gift to both her future MIL and myself. My gift was a lovely necklace, but what really got me was the personalized note inside :" I'll love you forever, I'LL LIKE YOU FOR ALWAYS, As long as I'm living, MY MOMMY YOU'LL BE. The photographer was ever so kind to take many "ugly crying" pictures of me. The note is stored in my wallet. Forever.

    Needs to be in a Safe Deposit box (or another secure location) I would hate for something to happen to your wallet!

    I just used LJ to get a woman's phone number in the grocery store.  Don't judge me.

    I'll  judge him-  It was actually a CVS!

    (He obviously learned some of Sherri's story telling skills)

    LJ is a cutie! (I'm at work- the link doesn't look right- so I won't post it)

  9. Halloween isn't the time to get a power walk in- nor the time to get the most candy ever!

    sherrieshepherdJeffrey and I walked into four buildings each w 33 floors... 132 flors total - he walked away w two full bags of candy- I am tired but happy we got to spend the day together - now I just have to hide those #Butterfingers!!!

    One building would've been enough because now she is trying to take all Jeffrey's candy away

     

    sherrieshepherdThe look when  you try to throw all their Halloween candy! It's that crazy eyed stare!

  10.  

    Jet lag hitting hard... put Jeffrey to sleep... hid candy, fed & walked dogs... I'm going to bed - g'night everybody!  Sweet dreams

    Wasn't Sherri in the same time zone (even though it was a foreign country!) lol

    Hopefully she remembered to turn the clock back for the end of Daylight Savings Time- or hilarity will ensue!

  11. This picture was posted in the Benessa thread:

    The Kimye Baby looks just like one of those "hidden Mickeys" from Disneyland!

    Does she need a bigger cup size?

    It does look like Mickey but I'm sure Disney won't use the image! lol

  12. I hate how funeral homes now put everything on a TV screen..."Select Package A or B" as if it were a shopping cart.

    Every year I usually get Starbuck cards and go downtown and try to find down on their luck peeps and give them a gift card... it is cold here and they can at least get a hot drink and sandwich.

    This year, I don't know because I am feeling very depressed. :-( I just want my daughter.

    First of all {{{HUGS}}} and please know (and remind yourself) that you will feel better in time.

     

    A small funeral home in our area uses a speaker system to announce "the memorial service has now ended" Reminds me of an amusement park "please wait til the ride comes to a complete stop"

    It would be nice to have a person announce it!

     

    If you still would like to do the Starbucks donation (but don't have the energy/ desire to go track folks down) I'm sure there would be a local agency to handle the distribution for you.

    Keep things simple!

  13. Sherri Shepherd ‏@SherriEShepherd  Oct 29

    fire alarm going off in my hotel room - have to emergency evacuate & on the 17th floor but I can't find my wig!

    If  I had to evacuate a hotel room in am emergency- Searching for my wig (and tweeting about the search for it) would not be my priority.

    Periscope (once evacuated) would not be on my list of things to do either!

     

    Hopefully Jeffrey is learning his fire safety skills at school!
