Been a long time since I had kids and have heard about nitrous oxide at the dentist, but not at childbirth. Is this new, old, standard in the U.K.? Had a tough time with the accents at times.
It's standard in the U.K. My cousin was born 30 years ago and her mother used nitrous oxide (or gas and air as they call it.) I asked about using it in the US and they won't do it.

My British family, who are now solidly upper middle class but grew up working class, refer to dinner (or supper but the evening meal either way) as tea. Just tea. High tea is a social gathering with tea, finger sandwiches, scones, jam and clotted cream.

It's so often repeated that Diana was 19 when she got married, but she didn't stay 19. She was in her 30's when she was having affairs and tantrums and doing things like not wearing her seatbelt because the man she was out with wasn't wearing his. I was married just after my 20th birthday, lots of my friends were younger, we were all held responsible for ourselves just like the 18 and 19 year-old military troops. I remember when Diana, then in her thirties bought herself a foreign car, although it was traditional for the royals to support British companies. The big British car companies were upset, but everyone else blamed her "advisors". She was never, ever held responsible for her own actions.
It's also been said, by the same person, (Trevor Rees-Jones) that she followed Dodi's lead in telling the driver to go faster and lose the paparazzi, with both Dodi and Diana laughing as they egged him on.
Diana's famous picture holding the hand of an Aids patient was in 1991. People had been talking about Aids all through the eighties, the big LiveAid benefit concert was in 1985, there were dozens of films and documentaries and specials, all teaching lessons about how Aids was not contagious, Doris Day kissed Rock Hudson on camera while he had Aids in 1985. I think the "Diana taught us about Aids," thing is just one more exaggerated legend attached to her name.
I'm sure I wouldn't give her a second thought if she was just an ordinary celebrity with some fans and some detractors, but Diana's death stopped the entire TV and press coverage for weeks. There has been nothing like it before or since and it all just seems so calculated and overblown to me. The truly sainted Mother Teresa died at the same time and barely got a mention.
I'm sorry but one of my absolute pet peeves is the deification of Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa was extremely privileged and despite her vow of poverty, carried those attitudes her entire life. The way she treated the Untouchables was deplorable. But she's sainted and the stifled woman who exerted a bit of influence on her own life by buying the car she wanted, is seen as a bad person.

But more people defended Joan than maligned her. I think people wanted to believe the worst because it was more titillating and exciting. And in 1978, the salacious tell-all was novel (no pun intended.)
Regardless, those that believe Christina and think Joan was a narcissistic, alcoholic abuser won't be swayed by anything said here; just as those that don't believe that about Joan aren't going to change their minds likewise.
I don't think we'll agree but part of my belief in Christina's version of events is what people said when they defended Joan. Take Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. (her first husband). When he defended her, he insisted that she was too controlled to ever beat Christina. The way he described her, she seemed like a tightly wound individual. After their marriage was over, her career was failing, she was under immense pressure and she became (by all accounts) a serious alcoholic. As Joan said in Feud, she was in a very different place in her life when she adopted Christina and Christopher than when she adopted the twins.

I ended up liking this episode although I wish it had been done in two parts since quite a bit was left out. As others have mentioned, nothing on Crawford being on The Secret Storm or Night Gallery. Nothing on Davis filming The Whales of August or releasing her own memoirs.
While Joan did make no official public appearances in the last 4 or so years of her life, she still had friends that she kept in contact with by going to lunch, phone calls and correspondence. The show definitely made it appear that she was completely alone, save for Mamacita at the end. She had a Christian Scientist practitioner that visited with her every day as well as a nurse or someone that stayed overnight with her.
I totally agree with the earlier poster who said that no way in hell would Joan get up and walk away from a book signing. Absolutely not. She valued her fans far too much. I don't think she would have been offended by someone saying she was a survivor - - she might very well have agreed. I also think she would have been appreciative that someone loved one of her films.
I also want to say that the tidbit at the beginning with Pauline saying she saw Joan at LaGuardia with pancake white makeup on, in a wheelchair and drunk off her ass was unnecessarily cruel and not true.
While I know that Bette never called Joan upon hearing about her suffering with cancer, I was really hoping she would. Again, these ladies had so much in common and could have been allies, if not friends.
I like that Ryan Murphy did not assume that MD was 100% gospel truth and I did appreciate the scene with Joan, Cathy and Cathy's children. According to Cathy's son, the sliding on the floors did really happen. It wasn't mentioned in the series but he says they called Joan "JoJo."
I appreciated that the afterwords mentioned how MD was denounced by many of Joan's friends, co-workers and her two youngest children. I'm sorry that Murphy didn't see fit to include the same about Bette with regard to MMK although MMK never came close to disgracing Bette's legacy as MD did to Joan.
I also want to say that while some people (not necessarily people here) have felt disgusted over BD's book and BD for writing it, Christina appears to have escaped that same type of criticism. BD is seen as terrible, horrific for writing that book about her mother while Joan is the one demonized for Christina's book. Just saying.
I am thankful that, as was mentioned in the afterword, more people have come around to watching Joan's films and seeing how talented she was (in some films, far more so than others.) As Olivia (or was it Joan B.?) said during the 1978 Oscar tributes, Crawford contributed to the industry for 50 years and was only deigned two seconds . . . that's what is truly sad. And that terrible MD tarnished the brilliant career she had, at a time when women were considered throwaways once they hit 30 or 35. She and Davis kept kicking and fighting for their careers. They should be admired and celebrated for that alone.
The episode did bring me to tears and I thought it was much better than the previous two. Jessica Lange really brought it for this particular episode. I hope, if nothing else, the show brings new appreciation to the work of Bette and Joan.
For me, I believed Christina and still do. I'm not saying that the twins didn't have a different experience but even when people defended her, the person they described was a narcissistic control freak. That combined with her alcoholism and the way she always talked about Christina and Christopher, made me far more inclined to believe Christina. Helen Hayes publicly saying that she believed Christina helped as well.
My Mother's Keeper was salacious but there was nowhere near the level of abuse that was in Mommie Dearest. Bette Davis just seemed like a sad, lonely alcoholic with abandonment issues. Joan Crawford came off as a manipulative abuser.
The last difference is what happened to Christina and BD. Christina has been a child abuse advocate for decades, why would she waste her time and energy if she made it all up? BD became a zealot who speaks in tongue and still insists that her mother was possessed by Satan.

I thought they said that at the beginning of the war there were no black soldiers (they were only allowed to join later) so that is why they figured he must have been passing as white since he was enlisted in the beginning of the war
I really enjoyed this episode and Liv Tyler was very sweet. By doing her dad's side, we also got 2 celebrities for the price of one - ha ha. One thing I thought strange was that while Liv seemed very empathetic to her black ancestor she never seemed to really make the connection that she was part black as well. I thought that was a neat discovery and she seemed a little distantly removed from it. I loved Steven's reaction to it, instead. He seemed to really grasp that it was part of his blood too.
I would have loved if they gave her a DNA test and found some living black relatives to meet.
I think the being part black feeling is generational. My dad (who adamantly refuses to identify as Puerto Rican even though my grandmother was born there) seems to feel like the one drop rule still applies. For me, even though my grandmother was listed as mulatto on the 1930 census, I don't feel black because I didn't have the black experience growing up. Logically, I know that I'm part black but because I have fairly pale, white skin, I've never been treated or experienced life the way a person who is viewed as black has.

++++1 to all of this.
Indeed, why not move Dayton in with Meri, since we know that he gets uncomfortable with all the chaos? Heck, he could have his own quiet wing at Meri's house, what with all that empty space. It's yet another elephant in every single room - Meri admits to being lonely, no kids in her house, too quiet, etc. If Robyn now has Aspyn and a new baby, why not have one of Robyn's kids move into Meri's house? I mean, I know the answer myself - would Robyn trust Meri with one of her kids? Has Meri made it crystal clear that, although she is lonely, she doesn't want a kid - especially a kid of Robyn's - to interrupt her nightly online shenanigans? It's like, WE know why they are doing it this way, I want to hear THEM say it. But it won't happen. 'Cause polygamy is so awesome, blah blah blah.
And all the +++++ to the statement about Mariah. Still thinking about choosing this lifestyle? I wonder if she's just super pissed that she was the one lone holdout for wanting the plyg lifestyle, because her mom and dad were legally married. Now that they aren't, I have to wonder if she feels extremely duped by the fact that the lifestyle she always wanted is actually nothing more than her dad being able to bunk with multiple women under the banner of "religious choice." Yet when her mom tries the same thing, she's made a fool of. I'm not a Mariah fan per se, but that had to be a long and hard fall from only legal child of the only legal wife, to watching her dad divorce her mom, and her mom's subsequent catfishing. That probably wasn't in Mariah's script for her perfect life.
I find it interesting that according to her Twitter, Mariah has become a self identified feminist. She's now a Bernie supporting liberal. I wonder how that ties in to her desire for a polygamist lifestyle...

Honestly, that attitude of "you must agree with me or else you're a bad person" is what I've found in everyone who has "chronic Lyme disease." I responded on a People magazine article to someone who said that she didn't understand the hate Yolanda gets, she hasn't done anything to offend anyone. I said I was offended by her comparison to the AIDS crisis of the early 80s. I received a response from someone, who identified herself as having "chronic Lyme disease", telling me she felt sorry for the sick people in my life because I obviously treat them like shit. I said I'd be sure to tell my mom, who has Alzheimer's, that as I have her her bath that night. The only response I got was that my mom probably didn't have Alzheimer's because a lot of those symptoms can actually be Lyme.
Yolanda has done plenty to offend having nothing to do with Lyme.
She was probably joking about your mother. Well maybe not! Lyme is said to effect the brain and if it does this is it. The logic center.
You're much kinder than I am. I just thought she was rude, attention seeking, narcissist. But I also tend to hate it when people try to out misery each other. Can't we just accept that all of these illnesses, be they physical or mental, suck? I think I've just discovered why I dislike Yolanda so much.

Where Yolanda fails me is she keeps thinking that those who don't buy her theory of Lyme Disease and all the other combinations she has with the word Lyme in them, are somehow ignorant or unsympathetic. It just isn't the case. Just because a person doesn't sign up for your theory does not make them a bad person. If you applied Yolanda's statements to religion or politics there would be no doubt that her platform would be vilified. What I hear from Yolanda is if you are my friend you must not only support me but you must conform your thinking to mine. If not, no friendship.

What did I miss? I didn't see anything odd about plaintiff's daughter. I agree that JJ went overboard about the woman pulling up to the curb. Now if she'd driven over the curb, that'd be something else.
Sorry to hear Heaven has a mug sheet. He didn't appear to have enough energy to cause trouble.
I got the feeling that JJ just wanted to punish the defendant for abetting her daughter's behavior. If she hadn't gotten so aggressive with JJ in the beginning (with my favorite comeback on this show, "well, that's your opinion,), I think she would have been less inclined to read so much into the defendant pulling up next to the plaintiff. I was hoping she'd award the plaintiff the whole $5k, just to teach that awful woman a lesson.

I know I'm pregnant and easily emotional but the end of the first case, when the bullied girl was crying, broke my heart. You could see where the defendant's daughter got her bullying behavior from. I knkw this probably won't happen but I sincerely hope that the defendant watches this, gains a modicum of self awareness and sees what an awful person she's shaping to inflict on the world. But then again, she didn't get the hint when the school probably straight up told her that her daughter was a bully.

If you worked at an office where people were compensated differently and had different contracts? Then you myob and stfu or go complain to the producers. Try working in a law office when bonuses and raises come out and see if fair is fair. You don't go to the coffee lounge and start telling people that they really weren't sick the day they called in sick. Yolanda was given some type of special status if we are to believe her comments in the email.
I don't believe the gripe is over her not filming. We have seen a ton of her - even at the group events. I hear the arguments made here that she makes it all about her, but I don't agree. What is she more magical a manipulator than LVP? I think Rinna is just making a storyline for herself. I really don't think anyone else cares that much at this point. Someone is always missing a group event - even Rinna herself. I think the producers gave Rinna a munchhausen mandate, she thought she had Kyle and LVP's backup, but she didn't. Now she can't let it go. Boy is she dumb. Looking up scapegoat now? Keep looking Rinna. And please, she's "enraged" that Yo didn't come to Erika's and went to lunch with Brandi because? Wha? Why? I just don't get her reasoning. Yolanda has agreed to move on with Rinna and Rinna can't let it fucking go bc she wants her storyline to continue throughout this season and next because Yolanda, like Kim, is SCARY! She terrifies Rinna!!! Oh stawp.
I would bet money that LVP or Kyle has said something to Andy but what is he going to do? Fire the perpetual Lyme victim? And look terrible? Of course not. Yes, people get to miss group events but no one has missed as many as Yolanda and few people get to skip out of the reunion (blaming "brain fog"). Didn't Adrienne get fired for that? Yes, I've worked in a law office where different people get different bonuses but that's how it goes. If someone got a bonus and didn't show up, would I be irritated? Hell yes.
I have never seen someone as blatantly manipulative as Yolanda. She can talk shit about whoever she wants but when it comes time to take it, there's brain fog or brain swelling or whatever blatantly fake symptom comes to her next. Lisa Rinna is a drama queen, no one disagrees with that but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

It's interesting to me how the websites that feed off the Real Housewives shows have taken up the storyline that Yolanda isn't really ill and is deserving of mockery and public humiliation. Thanks Lisa Rinna and Vanderpump and whoever else thought it would be a good idea to float Munchausen's out there for all to speculate on.
Maybe they should all just mind their own fucking business then. She was visiting her family, spending time with her mother who is ill with cancer. Or maybe her mother is faking her illness as well.
If you had a co-worker (because let's be honest, that's what these people are, not friends, with a few exceptions), who kept begging off of work by saying "I'm sick! I'm sick!" and threw a passive aggressive pity party every time you saw them ("Oh, you look so...well"), would you be pissed if you saw photos of them on Instagram doing other fun things? I doubt LVP wanted to go to Erika's dinner party but she did because she was contractually obligated. Yolanda gets out of contractual filming obligations by doing what she does best, manipulating everyone with her (possibly/probably fake) illness.

The concept behind Erika's look book is not a bad idea, but to need an entourage of three to go on a 5-6 day trip with friends is nuts. It shows how insecure Erika is with herself. Her gay glam squad seem to operate more like cheerleaders/ therapists for her.
This is completely shallow but while Erika looks much younger without all the slap on, her eyebrows bug me when she does them herself. It's obvious that she's applying powder to them but the color is so off, it's all I can stare at.
Also shallow but wtf did Brandi do to her face? She looked like her usual, overly Botoxed self in the scenes with Yolanda but she just looked like an entirely different person in her THs. I think she looks ridiculous normally but she looked like a caricature of a desperate to retain her youth former model. My husband walked in during her TH and asked me who that was.
Just because it's slowly driving me insane to see the women's dresses constantly referred to as "mumus"...they are not. They are caftans. Yes, they are somewhat similar but they are not the same. A muumuu is a shapeless monstrosity that's usually in some hideous Hawaiian print. A caftan is a lovely, flowing, typically long dress that moves with your body. If you watched the women when they were walking into the suite, you could see how their caftans moved with them, especially Katheryn's when she changed into hers and showed it off to the ladies. Muumuus do not move like that. The fabrics are often very different as well. Muumuus tend to be made out of a stiff cotton and/or polyester blend. Caftans are typically made out of a more silky material.
For visual reference, I give you the following:
Muumuus:
Caftans:
Thank you! I kept yelling at the screen that they're not muumuus. I'm going to be in my third trimester during the summer so I've started stocking up on caftans to wear around the house. I'd be mortified if someone thought they were muumuus.

Hey New Yorkers... I need help! We're going to make a quick visit to Manhatten on Sunday, April 17. The first stop out of Grand Central will be somehow getting down to Carmine St. to Joe's Pizza so I can have an authenic slice of regular pizza pie. If you're a former New York State native & trying to find this ancient relic, you understand why I'm making this trek. Then, we'll visit the 9/11 memorial and museum. So, after that, it's time for an early dinner before our train trip back to Beacon so I'm looking either for an American cafe or French cafe that serves really good food. Is there anything in lower Manhatten or do we need to head back to midtown? We don't want to be too far away from Grand Central because we need to catch a train back to semi-upstate before it gets too dark. Thanks in advance!
It's a little pricy and the owner can be a bit nuts but if you can, try to get to Le Veau d'Or. It's on E. 60th, between Lexington and Park, right near the 59th Street Lexington Avenue stop on the N,Q,R. The ambiance is old school French/NY and the food is exactly what you'd want from a classic French restaurant. One piece of advice; make sure you know your exact reservation (date, time, number in your party.) The original owner was this incredibly sweet French man but he passed away a few years ago and his daughter took over. She can be lovely and charming but she's very old New York and doesn't suffer fools gladly.

We're going to be in the Mid-Hudson Valley around April 14-15 and I wonder if anyone here can recommend some places to dine (could be fantastic cafes, diners as well as nice restaurants). We're staying in Fishkill and visiting Beacon and Cold Spring.
I love Beacon and Cold Spring, we almost moved there last year. There's a craft beer bar called The Hop in Beacon that overlooks the cutest creek. It's a little fancy but the food is really good. In Cold Spring, I love the Depot. They have great comfort food and if it's a little chilly, you can sit by their gorgeous fireplace. There's also the Hudson Hill Cafe for brunch. It gets packed really quickly but the pancakes are to die for.
Any recommendations for London and Paris?
There's a million good restaurants in London but if you like pubs, I recommend The Shaston Arms in Soho. They sell Badger beer from Dorset. I'm not a super beer drinker but I've never had a Badger beer that I didn't like. It's also right in the heart of the city. For food and ambiance, check out The Crusting Pipe (I think it's proper name may be Davy's Wine Bar) in Covent Garden. It's very touristy but they have amazing wine and cheese. The best part is you can listen to the students from the nearby music schools who perform by the courtyard for tips. It's a lovely, relaxing afternoon.

So a couple wanted a two master bedrooms because the husband snored? How about looking into why he snored? Unless it was just a cover story for them just not wanting to share a room anymore. They seemed otherwise happy, but could have settled into a platonic marriage.
I am sick of all the white rooms, egads! Especially when there are children. Who wants a white couch? And so. much. white everywhere in these designs. White walls, white kitchens, white furniture, white flooring... Way too cold and sterile for me.
We just watched this episode last night and I think they may be my least favorite couple I've seen on LOLIT. The feng shui thing was just so obnoxious. I get that having the proper feng shui is important to you, maybe you should share that with the interior designer working on the house? And then they blamed Jillian for not being able to do the mudroom, are you kidding me?
I knew they were going to list it when the husband asked for the money back after the siding had to be replaced. You've lived in this house, most likely mortgage free, for decades and have done nothing to it. Every house requires some routine maintenance. Don't blame someone else when it comes back to bite you in the butt.
Also, no matter how nice the new house is, it's not going to look like that once they move in their own furniture. Was it just me or was everything in that house super dated, furniture included?

Okay, obviously I am in the minority here, but I don't get what is so bad about Dawn. Sure she is snotty, but unless I missed something, other then the stuff with Magali in the beginning, I have not seen her be nasty to anyone. I also don't understand why everyone insists on making a big deal about her wanting more kids. Just nod, say okay Dawn, good luck and move on for crying out loud. I do not like Ampika or Lauren. They are both shit stirrers and talk out of both sides of their mouths. No Ampika, you would not say something right to Dawn's face. You went running to bad mouth her to the two guys. Also, I like Tanya, but Dawn totally did not "poke" her like she said and I did see Dawn kinda swat her and then apologize. Lauren is just too rude and fake. I don't mind Leanne too much. Magali is fine too, but we really don't see that much of her. I also call bullshit on Ampika taking care of her father.
Dawn is irritating (IMO) but definitely not the worst housewife ever, by a long shot. I don't think any of them are that bad. However, people like Dawn who always need to talk about themselves and think they're the arbiters of right and wrong drive me insane. That said, that also goes for Lauren and Ampika. I can't imagine ever comparing anyone's eggs to a frozen pizza, let alone a friend's! I really think that they just wanted to bring her down a peg and used the IVF to insinuate that Dawn is old. She's not old but these women are all so clearly youth obsessed (the lips, the clothes, the Botox), that it was a dig. Either way, keep your mouth shut and just nod. It's no one's place to determine how many kids you should or shouldn't have.

Can you fool your mom with chicken sausage? Or what about something egg based like quiche? Ham? When my mom started getting up there in years, she really loved ham steaks for some reason. Or maybe soup or Italian food?
I'm sorry you are going through this, it's stressful in about a million ways, believe me I know.
Thanks, I appreciate the good thoughts. I do sometimes fool her with ground chicken (I infinitely prefer ground poultry to ground beef) when I make chili. I love the quiche idea but my husband finds the texture odd. The other problem, that I failed to mention, is that since my mom's Alzheimer's really took hold, she has become so picky (and dramatic) about food. We'll go food shopping and I'll get vegetables and she'll start yelling at me that she can't eat any of it. Growing up, my mom and I ate mainly vegetables and only ate meat once or twice a week.
I found a loaded baked potato soup recipe last night so I'm going to try it tonight. I've made it once before and remember liking it so we'll see if it passes the test. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/02/baked-potato-soup.html

This episode really made me like Lauren's husband much more. He reminds me of my cousin's husband (also British), who is sort of the definition of a cheeky chap and likes to push your buttons. But when push comes to shove, he will be the most caring man and tell you what you need to hear. I liked getting to know the husbands better. Mark and Ashley must be saints to put up with such crazy (ex) wives.
I still love Tanya and Magali but they're sort of it, for me. I think Lauren's a rude snob and Dawn is just bizarre. Leanne is just such a sycophant. I did find it hilarious that Wes Brown clearly has 0 interest in being on the show.
Was I the only one who didn't quite believe Ampika when she said she was going to be her father's full time caregiver? I'm a caregiver for my mom with moderate Alzheimer's and it's hard work. Especially when you own your own business and have a child.

Just want to say how much I love this thread. You guys give me some great ideas when I'm planning my dinner menu for the week so thank you!
Food is complicated around here. My mom, who has mid-stage Alzheimer's, refuses to eat chicken or turkey so my husband and I really miss poultry. When it was just us, I'd make chicken 3-4 times a week. My husband isn't a fan of any fish that doesn't have a shell so we're pretty much limited to beef, pork and lamb. I'm getting sort of sick of the same recipes so if anyone has any new recipes (I do try to keep them healthyish), send them my way!
Tonight I'm making this: http://www.annies-eats.com/2008/08/31/pork-tenderloin-medallions-with-lemon-mustard-sauce/(it's pork with a lemon-mustard sauce). I make it pretty often but it's quick and always turns out well. I do usually swap medallions for chops (cheaper and easier) that I cook in a separate pan.

We do lentil soup for New Years Day. I grew up in an Italian neighborhood and everyone always ate lentil soup. My husband always had hot dogs so I combined the two and make Ina Garten's Lentil and Sausage Soup. It's pretty labor intensive but so, so good.

Kailyn: Kail Smash!
in Teen Mom 2
I've flown southwest, Delta and Air Canada since my daughter was born 10 months ago and each of them made me show her birth certificate. My husband misplaced the birth certificate and my daughter and I almost had to miss our flight because they were not letting her through security until I showed her birth certificate. I think it depends on the agent working the desk at whatever moment you get there.
