I think Jill's just a shitty hairdresser. She went to school in the 90's and has never learned more updated practices and techniques.
Oh, she has. She just doesn't care. This is a woman who thinks stumpy, overly thick acrylics and caked-on black eyeliner are the height of beauty.

On a spoof Rodrigues site I follow on Instagram, the comments are leaning towards Renee's haircut being a form of punishment for something. Public humiliation. It that's true, it's absolutely heartbreaking. Unfortunately, it makes sense. It doesn't matter how damaged, ugly, thin, broken, or lackluster a woman's hair is, it is always left alone and worn long. Renee would never choose to cut her hair, nor would Mahmo think it would make her more attractive. I'm concerned.
I thought of that, too, but I maintain that Jill intentionally makes her daughters look worse to make herself look better, or for less competition. I lean toward that being the case with Renee's shitty haircut.
It's not like fundies aren't total hypocrites already. Jill cuts (and colors and fries) her own hair, so she clearly has nothing wrong with haircuts for women.

The best I could think of was that having HIV left her feeling isolated, and while Al was not an ideal choice, she didn't have to keep secrets with him and he could understand what she going through.
I thought of that as well. I just hate seeing her go back to the person who put her in that place to start with. I liked her with Greg Fisher, although he was pushy.

I'm still cruising through season 3. Al and Jeanie reuniting is a mystery I've never understood. Al cheated on Jeanie, gave her a potentially deadly virus -- one that was deadly for him -- and by Jeanie's own account, they "barely had a marriage these last few years." But she goes back to him anyway.

I always thought stones fell into two categories, proteins based and calcium based, so recommended dietary changes would be specific to the stones found.
From the article I posted: "Up to 75 percent of all kidney stones are composed primarily of calcium. Stones can also be made up of uric acid (a normal waste product), cystine (a protein building block), or struvite (a phosphate mineral). Stones form when there is more of the compound in the urine than can be dissolved. This imbalance can occur when there is an increased amount of the material in the urine, a reduced amount of liquid urine, or a combination of both."
Bad news for the Starbucks in Katie's area, I guess. Then again, maybe there is hope that she won't be like her mother or sister Carlin.

Is there a family predisposition to those?
Kind of. Having a first-degree relative with stones increases your chances of having one. https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/kidney-stones/#causes
Topic: Better give up the Starbucks and ice cream, Katie. Carlin will be crushed.

I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall during that car ride home. I'm not sure if details weren't hashed out beforehand or what, but I doubt E&C would've driven over 20 hours roundtrip for a long weekend. Even for immature, scattered people like the Stews, that's a bit insane. I think they figured Katie would spend Saturday and Sunday recovering and then be ready to play tour guide by Monday, and it didn't go according to plan.
You can't tell me they weren't pissed that they drove all the way up there to go the gym and get a manicure and then turn around and go home. I bet they were talking shit the whole way back to TN. 😂
In slight defense of them, however, I'm wondering why T&K even had them come. Katie wasn't so down and out that she needed a team of helpers. They don't work and live off takeout, so I'm not exactly sure what E,C and Ellie were supposed to do that Travis (and his nearby family) couldn't handle themselves.
I would bet that the Stews outright invited themselves, or they "suggested" it and Travis and Katie felt it would be rude to say no.
I'm sure the Stews' disappointing vacation won't prevent them from doing it again, and soon. Those dipshits act like they're allergic to their own home. I wonder who kept their canine photo op this time.

I was on TWOP (RIP) during the original airing in 2002 and still have fond memories of the roast of that episode. 🤣I watched it again on my first rewatch back in 2018 or 19 and still don’t like it. Now it’s a skip. One run through every episode was enough for me honestly; I plan on more skips the later I get into the series.
I miss those TWoP episode recaps. The Cartus! The Weavus! Bummer.
I would like to know what the hell the writers were thinking with "Secrets and Lies." Character assassination on somebody? More St. Abby, every man's dream?

I'm kinda-sorta rewatching the early years (it's background noise, and I'm outright skipping some episodes). The first Chris and Kenny Law episode is on now, and I have to say that the racist stereotypes are gross. This shouldn't have been acceptable even in 1995-96.
Benton's appendectomy was in the last episode, and that's always good for a laugh.

Interesting article about the dangers of homeschooling, and it mentions my home state, Michigan. I am NOT suggesting that any of our favorite snark subjects are anywhere near this bad. https://wapo.st/3GBtOxx

Clooney's exit was just totally botched. They spent years showing Doug mature and get counseling and generally change his ways only to throw it all out the window for a stupid storyline. Clooney made it clear from the start that he was leaving when his contract was ended, that he wouldn't sign another one. They knew for years that the character was going to be written out at the end of Season 5, that they did such a terrible job of it really bugs. Part of the problem was that, despite knowing Clooney was going, they signed JM for a single season beyond that. Dumb. There were a lot of things they could've done, but, having Doug move across the country when Carol was pregnant with his kids made no sense at all. And Carol, sending Doug a fax at work to let him know she was knocked up? The writing in Season 5 was terrible, especially considering how the original cast was still there and they'd done such a good job of introducing the characters and making the audience care about them and root for them.
Seriously. The writers should have had a season-long "Doug is moving to X city to start a pediatric ER, Carol will follow him as soon as she sells the house, but oops, that takes a year and now she's pregnant" storyline. They could have had the ER-classic mass casualty incident on his last day, with everyone, especially Weaver, realizing how valuable he is to County. Not the character assassination bullshit they chose instead.

Susan really was a great doc in her original form, and, unlike the rest of the staff, Susan managed to stay on a pretty even keel on the job even when her personal life was a mess.
Except when Kerry Weaver was on her back. I have been rewatching the early seasons, and Weaver was really a bitch to Susan -- nitpicking and constantly criticizing, as opposed to constructive criticism.

I was on a phone call with a client yesterday. The client's name -- Abby Lockhart. I restrained myself from snickering or asking her how Luka was doing.

THIS! Ffs, they have one kid and neither works. They don’t need help.
They especially don't need help from her teenage sisters, who have already been forced into servitude at home. Travis can handle whatever Katie and Hailey need. His penis won't atrophy if he cooks a meal or does a load of laundry.

Evan should have stayed home with the kids. Ellie and Carlin alone would be actual help and without the chaos.
I think you're giving Carlin way too much credit!

How long will it be before Whitney realizes that she doesn't have to put up with Carlin's antics in order to be accepted by her in-laws? For Whitney's sake, I hope it's soon. It's stupid that Carlin takes so much freaking time away from "their" business while someone with three more kids than she has, including an infant, gets stuck with all the work.
Carlin and Evan need to grow TF up and act like adults instead of kids, and immature kids at that. They're embarrassing themselves.

Taking copious notes at church? WTF? Why doesn’t she just press “record” on her phone?
The woman has 2 kids . . .
And a dog whom they have apparently forgotten about until they need a cute family photo. I wonder who keeps the dog when Dumb and Dumber are traveling again.

Has Carlin mentioned if she’s been cleared to drive? Ozziedad was allowed to drive 6 months after last seizure; he is on anti seizure meds, probably for a few more years, so that doesn’t stop one from driving. Or does Evan discourage her even thinking about driving since he’d have no excuse then to be her personal chauffeur.
In Tennessee, one has to be seizure-free for a year before driving. I was surprised that Tennessee's time period was so long. As far as I know, Carlin hasn't said whether she has been cleared to drive. They lie all the time anyway, so it's not like her saying so would necessarily be the truth.

I don't know if I'd give Zach credit for enough brains to resent how he was raised. He doesn't seem to be making the connection between lots of kids equals money is tighter. He and Ofzach are going to have a hell of a time maintaining their present lifestyle if they keep having kids, which I expect them to do.
I mean, Zach was the oldest and might remember their family life before Gil decided he was too good to work for The Man and before the kids started coming in droves. But he was a boy, so did he really bear the brunt of having breeder parents the way sister-moms do? I don't know. That other huge family's firstborn son certainly didn't.
@cereality, I cackled at the mental image of toddler Zade sitting upstairs with a doob and some tunes.

Really? Yes, shipments to individuals are sent that way.
Funny, every time they have a Cash and Carry we read here that they have way too much goods.
Shipments to businesses are also sent the same way. I've seen them. As far as having too much crap at their cash-and-pose sales, they have too much overall. They don't have quantities of crap that would be exclusively shipped in cartons. Cartons = 50 of one, like big box stores get. Poly = 3 of this, 5 of this, 8 of this.

I get shipments from Amazon and other sites in poly bags all the time, even breakable things. I'm guessing it's the same for the "boutique." They're not ordering mass quantities of crap fashion.
I wanted Carnation malted milk powder to make milkshakes for my friend who is undergoing chemo for pancreatic cancer (she needs to gain weight). Only Walmart sells Carnation malted milk here. I ordered it shipped so I wouldn't have to go to the store. I got two separate shipments, both in poly bags, one wadded and one rolled.
The truck is what makes me suspicious.

She was indeed great as Millicent Carter. She was also great as Cliff Clavin's mother on Cheers and as Charlotte's [first] mother-in-law on Sex and The City.
And the sheriff's deputy (and wife) in Misery.
Gamma Carter is forever my picture of how a classy old-money woman should look and sound. Pearls, suits, hair always neatly done up.
