She should have responded with "okay sugarbuns" just once. That'd probably be all it took. Yes! I thought so too. I told my husband that the plate desperately needed a colorful addition, at least a garnish.

Or anywhere else.

That woman should teach classes in self-adoration. Seriously.

Exactly. And now a dog loses his home of 7 years because his human was an idiot.

Someone ^upthread mentioned Sonja's handbag in this episode. I have always admired them (I've always called them Nantucket baskets). Here's a couple of examples for sale on Etsy, showing how they're all over the board on cost. Even the knock-offs are dear.

Yeah, my parents took our Boston Terrier "to go live on a farm" after it bit me (@3 yrs old) in the face too.

At the time it was happening, I had a "this doesn't smell right" moment. I had the same sort of moment when she declared that she wasn't hungover the following morning. She was being less than genuine in one of those circumstances, surely.

The folks at both the production company (whoever that is) and at Bravo, who realize that conflict and messiness = ratings = $$$. For this season, it would appear that Dorinda is the designated lightning rod (until and unless Leah takes over that role), ergo talking heads. I believe that the talking head segments are filmed after the season's filming is complete, right?

I take it more to mean that she has no chance of being a professional writer.

We're all just so stunningly happy for her aren't we? 🙄

It always seemed pretty apparent that his dog never got proper training. So sad for that animal. My daughter & s-i-l got a beagle puppy when the twins were only about 2 yrs old (derp), and he snapped at my grandson I think twice before they made the stellar observation that he wasn't the right dog for their family. Beagles can be tricky.

Ah, okay. Not cool to not notify.

You're probably right, as I stated at the end of my post, it may not have made a difference. Just putting a thought into the discussion.

Does EG own any article of clothing that isn't emblazoned with the designer's name or monogram? Asking for ... no one in particular.

I haven't read that he wanted them with him and she refused. Did I miss that item?

Aw, bless your heart. Thanks. We'll get through it.

Thanks for your kindness, hope it didn't sound like I was fishing for sympathy, I wasn't. Anyway, my next door neighbor was widowed about 25 years ago, when she was in her 50's, due to an horrific automobile accident, and I can tell you that she still hasn't recovered. They were together about twice as long as D & R, but still. Some people (women mostly, I find that men recover much quicker in general) just never recover from the loss of a spouse, especially for reasons other than an age-related, "natural" occurence.

I have a couple of things in common with Dorinda, our age and the fact that we married men 14 yrs our senior. I'm wondering if her concentrated angst over Sir Richard has to do with her age at the time she became widowed. She was 46 or so, so very young to be a widow, and have her lifestyle sort of ripped from her. Not her monetary life necessarily, but the circles they traveled in, the people they hung with etc. He was likely the draw in that relationship, lol. My life changed rather dramatically when I was in my 50's as well (I'm 60 now), my husband developed several illnesses which have made him all-but housebound, I'm unable to work so I can care for him and my mother, and so finances are stretched, and blah blah blah. I've taken my turn at playing Bitter Betty on more than one occasion, though I'm getting less so with time. She didn't really have time to adjust if his illness was short-lived and his death rather sudden. Anyway, not certain she would have handled things any better if she had been a more traditionally-aged widow, but it could be a factor.
