Poor Anna Magnani, to be lumped in w Beth. (Kidding - I know nothing about Ms. Magnani, but will google her ASAP.) Heres the salient comment: you can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat animals. Beth chose to make Dying Cookie a SM event. Look, I’m not a people-magnet, but even I have a few close friends I would call in hysteria, “what should I do?!” I think Bethenny has a few friends she could’ve relied on, or at least Cookie’s veterinarians! She chose to use her dog’s final agonies as a “look at me!” festival. Appalling woman.

I see — I was saying, I’m fine staying in the flyover, where RE taxes and HOA fees are that much iverca year, not every month.

Welcome to fandom! I love the show too.

“Vain Bossy Tacky Cow” would make a wonderful screen name — for Ramona! Well played, @HunterHunted. Also well played, NYT headline writer!

Where’s this, now? signed, Fine In The Flyover

Gack! She’s like that when the only cameras rolling are an iPhone? Miserable woman.

Well Of course! Thank you!! I always wondered why she kept him & Hannah apart. No use getting her daughter - even as an older teen - used to somebody who’s basically a temp. Dor, you user. With all the ... connections ... John has, Do had best tone down the open contempt she shows about him. Just sayin’. The fury of a man scorned can match a womsn’s, anyway. JMHO.

Only if they pay us!

Sorry!

Dear - I can’t copy the frightening screen caps of Bethenny smiling without any hint of happiness, but they sure came to mind when I just read that dogs have a facial muscle that softens their expressions (and makes human hearts melt — and wolves lack this muscle! Mayhaps Beth isn’t prevaricating about her parentage after all!!!

Remember the special he thought he was hosting on an inside look at Madame Whatever, his family’s upscale dry cleaning operation? About 45 seconds in, Dorinda appears, poking her makeup-caked face between a couple of couture gowns. John seemed genuinely shocked by her upstaging behavior, but he rolled with it. I distinctly recall wishing D wasn’t there, because it would’ve been a lot more entertaining show without her and her attempts at cuteness. And yep, he’s still with her and he even got a little giddy at B’s whores party when D told him that she’d identified him as her husband to discourage a guy who was flirting. I hope they don’t marry. I agree: He deserves somebody who loves him for him. i liked D at first — now, she’s as low as Ramona in my opinion.

I came here to say just that. I think this forum is why I watch the show! I enjoy the witty commentary and insightful dialog The lame-osity of the show itself, OTOH, was evident when Dorito carped, “Tinsley should just tell me off!” You dimbulb, she just did!!!

Enlightening and I love, with all my heart, thst you’ve clued me in to this! Luann was certainly not from money and neither was Dor. Jill is before my time, but just generally I can’t imagine REAL “old money” being impressed with a retail fabric king (RIP, Bobby, also before my time but word on the street is that he was a mensch). Also, I’ve seem photos of Slim John. He was a cutie (granted, my taste runs to swarthy Mediterranean types).

Dang, forget Tinsley, *I* could do this! I even speak a little Italian!

And this, young women, is an object lesson in “God bless the child that’s got their own.” Possibly Lu can still straighten out her finances and be self-supporting. Sonja? Highly unlikely. As far as men not wanting a woman who’s been very sexually active, Imma go out on a limb here and say that Sonja’s behavior with Morgan and with her divorce money is a way bigger turnoff for any UES old guys looking for a wife. Sonja clearly lacked common sense in not returning to her Daddy Warbucks — er, her soulmate beloved on his sickbed. But she showed absolute stupidity in how she handled her alimony afterward. The rich stay rich in large part because they are careful with their assets. Sonja is the opposite. I say that’s a huge problem in her snagging another wealthy spouse. Way more than her sexual history. Luann? Haven’t given it much thought. Sonja’s liability is far easier to see. YMMV.

I’ve always felt / observed that the happier the marriage, the quicker the widow/er wants to re-hitch, because their time with the departed was ... happy. (I personally am the survivor of a sh|t marriage and happy to be on my own. Lonely at times, sure, but in no mood to even think about being attached again. Mileages and reasons vary extensively. JMHO & experience.)

Dang! I want this to be her storyline!!!!!

Landlubber here, but isn't a swim in the ocean supposed to be relaxing, all on its own? Seems like a person who’s just enjoyed a dip in the salty waters could forego a massage without a lot of bellyaching. Oh, wait...

No kidding. I weigh 240 and two glasses of cheap Pinot and I’m asleep.

I remember someone saying it was so we’d be mindful of our posture. Heh.

Dang, you just described my ex- to a T.

In fairness, most of the carpenters I know live in houses under renovation. Y’know, like how the shoemaker’s children go barefoot?

I’ve NEVER liked Ramona. Not going to watch because my teeth are ground down enough as is.

The DVR’ed version is playing and I read the quote JUST as she said it. Hilarious!!

Bingo, I think. She strikes me as the kind of person whose mind is wired such that if she has her needs well-met (a rich guy or her own $), she’s on to whatever will get her some adoring attention. See, to me - who loves having a few people who KNOW me and GET me - this would be a soul-crushing way of life; for Lu, it’s air and water! All she needs to support her fabulousness! She needs close friends far less than she needs attention, adulation, wealth & luxury. And so long as she doesn’t hurt anyone in the process.... I don’t see why she shouldn’t so live.
