I guess I missed some of Tony talk about Angela...
a lot of these shows I will watch while on my computer working at night...little needed breaks here and there..
At any rate...I’m a half episode behind on RHOC...we have Emily/attorney...and Angela an educated (hopefully) counselor here on LAL.....and it occurred to me once again...
intelligence and education can in fact BE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE...sad but true in these cases it seems...
get a pair...both of you...Angie baby and Em!!!!
lol (obvi having a pair and confidence not mutually exclusive)!!?...can’t quite wrap my head around the two “exclusive” terms...🤣...corrections more than welcome for this ol gal!!!!
I am terminally dyslexic at times...no shade or shame...just truth here...quite a bit on my plate...as it were...Taxes...and...heart procedures...for Afib...also..
still dealing with broken windows when strung out 30 yr old kid jumped through Buck naked at my house this last week.... (bailed himself out at 14.5 K evidently)...and I have 1K deductible?... eff that noise...!!!
I HAVE to repair all 3 double panes...dammit...
.they should have added my insurance deductible to his bail in restitution fees upfront IMO...
I’m about to raise holy heck about this...
for ALL victims of “victimless crimes?”
.for gawd sakes RELEASE the pot heads...and house the ppl who need life lessons!!! If you prisons have no cells available...put away ppl that actually cause damage for fuck sakes!! Go through and see if the prisoner ORIGINAL crime is even a crime in 2020!!! If not? Get on that shot and release him/her...and go nation wide....
this is all I have to say about that...for now... 🙂
im on a soapbox and I apologize...🤭

Can we please talk about Tony's post-nookie celebration...er...song? Lord almighty.
So funny!!! Right!!??!!
it “sounded” like a celebration...lolwas it a rap/wrap it up? 🤭😁...
or did he stutter? Or was it a Bugs Bunny/Elmer Fudd/or Porky 🐷 Vicki impression? 🤣😂...can’t remember..but WGAS...sounded like..(“ibbadeee..ibbadeee..th...the...that’s all folks”!)
cannot think he was truthfully “celebrating”... he’s such a liar piece of doo doo...💩...it seemed more a reckoning (for the moment) to buy himself the time...because that douche bag is already “stacking the deck” for his good riddance speech...IMO...
Angela..gurrrl...it is time to get as rough as you look...and as tough as you act!!! For heaven/hell sakes woman!!!! Pull yourself together!!! C’mon!!! Geez!!!!

I thought Angela's trailer home looked quite nice. Clean and what looks like a nice piece of property. To each their own but I could live there easily. I didn't see any crumbling.
Angela’s house....yes...
It looked “neat”...IMO...like when I do a ‘slick over” on my house for unexpected guests or whatevs..I call that “keeping house” vs “cleaning house”...so jury is still out for me on those deetz....
that said....I believe my opinion may be heavily influenced my the gross over amplified sound of her suffocating smooching...eeew!!! Bad enough for those two mouth breathers!!!
add...grody to max...MUST be smoker and coffee breath...all of this whilst both of them are holding burning cigs..🤮
Tony, Tony, Tony....you are SUCH a fuck shit twisted pathological liar....your “TELL” is when you stretch out your words and/or syllables (when you DO try venture into polysyllabic vocabulary)...
oh...and you moved ALL THE WAY BACK NEAR MISSISSIPPI to do Angela a favor? So you can help her pay bills?....Me thinks....ummmm NO...eff to the no...$ goes a longer way in Mississippi...even in jail...$ she provided you!
...And based on amount she has fronted you...3 months...you’re going to bail in 3 months? ( pun intended)...omg ...DUDE!!! really? It is going to take you a whole hell of a lot longer to pay back the money you owe her… Get a job then come back and tell us your sob story… By the way?What kind of “Job” are you rushing out to get?... you con man!= ‘con’vict ‘man’ipulator!!!
PLUS...she hand delivered that $...so you didn’t have to wait on USPS...and lengthy inspection of incoming comm......you are not fooling us with that BS...unfortunately you are fooling Angela...but I have zero sympathy...empathy...for that woman...
I will alway root for the under dawg...as long as I can...but I’m OVER it this episode...Angela making all these threats/claims...on which she has never yet actually followed through...
For gawd sake’s woman! “Do what you say and say what you mean” hmmm🤔 or is it “ Say what you mean and mean what you say“?
Is that how that saying goes?… Hell w/ it... Close enough..🤣I may have asked this....but don’t remember seeing an answer to my query...is Angela’s bed a twin? Or is it one of those in between twin and full?
(talk about mouth writing a check...her ass can’t cash!!! Lol)..gist sayin’...😁 Cap Lee for prez!!! 🤣

Oh good heavens...I’m at 41:23 and Angela FINALLY...got some ass....Did she break her tooth????
and all the smacking made me sick...
Omg..then worse.....gross...Tony’s claim to fame on how to work her....
in spite of Tony’s FUCKED UP EXCUSES...about “Michelle” she just wants her love tank filled 🤮
Shoot the TV now! ....ca you fucking believe it????
!!! of course Angela is blind and stupid...Tony runs circles around her lack of intelligence...this man is a well polished sophisticated “con artist”...
and unfortunately he realizes EVERYBODY out here in TV land is laughing at Angela along with his ugly ass
...sad...Angela...Even though a counselor...doesn’t make her smart...just lucky...IMO...she is the less intelligent of the two...Toy Tony is playing her like a cheap fiddle....she still isn’t (and will never) get it...
continues being exploited by Tony, on these blogs...networks and beyond..ugly...
Sad but truthfully...by now I don’t give ANY fucks about her...Angela...watch the horror show that is your life....bitch!!!
Fuck them after last episode...
it literally made me puke this morning...and that’s why I’m only 41 minutes into show...
im afraid I will puke again!!!! Maing!!!!! 😆

This was the best episode of the season so far.
First of all, there are no words for how awesome Toya's house was. I don't give a rat's behind if there's no furniture--I'd cut a bitch to live there. Good for them if they can afford it.
Jackie's slip show, while not a HIPAA violation, as she's not Buffie's doctor, is one of two things in my mind. Either:
- she's doing this for a storyline, in which case, shame on her; or
- she realized how cosmically unfair it was for her to lose her fertility and she lashed out at Buffie to displace her pain, which, again isn't normal or healthy, which is apparently the way she's making it out to be
Also, I know very little about the OB-GYN community, but at what point is one officially "infertile"? I would think it would be with menopause or if your doctor sat you down and told you that there was no chance your egg could be fertilized. Is Buffie definitely infertile, or has it just not happened yet, despite a tremendous amount of trying? Because I'm not a doctor, but I don't know that it was even accuarate for Jackie to say that.
I think it's weird that Buffie gets more screen time than Mariah.
Ok, I'm not a Contessa fan, and I have been vocal that I think she and Scott are at least exaggerating their marriage problems for a storyline, but what the fuck was up with "Dr Metcalfe" taking a telephone call during a therapy session with his wife? I understand that doctors are busy, but there has absolutely got to be 45 minutes to an hour per week that he can completely unplug. And get this fuck out of here by swearing you thought it was on vibrate when Contessa asked you to turn it off. If it's on vibrate, you're going to do the same shitty behavior of taking a call during a therapy session! Vibrate or ring, you still know someone's calling you and you're taking it and that sucks! Dr Littlejohn was so much more professional than the rest of the doctors try to be. Contessa's braids looked really cute in Cabo.
Hey, speaking of Cabo, I thought Toya and Eugene weren't counting that as their first vacation together because they were having unmarried sex! Never change. Anyone catch Toya saying she paid her own way? What did she do prior to marrying?
I was disappointed that more of the couples didn't engage in the dance contest, especially Simone, who is all elbows. That was really fun, though! I'm glad Heavenly and Daddy won, even if Scott was better. I wish Quad had participated just to ruffle Toya's feathers. It's funny that Toya objects so hard to Quad coming on couples' trips when Quad wouldn't fuck with Eugene even if his dick was solid gold. She wouldn't' even give that divorced dentist the time of day.
Although now I see what you were saying about the sedentary lifestyle @ZaldamoWilder. Eugene has regained all of his weight and possibly more, and maybe he was physically incapable of dancing with his wife, which kind of sucks. In my early twenties, I would have thought that was ok, like just dance by yourself, whatever. In my late, late, late twenties, I find it a turn-off. 😉
I have dig deeper evidently...like post above...I got same ol shitty episode with stupid insights or some crapola...
swear...cable TV is ONE ☝️of the hugest monopoly games played out there today..and I’m not on good location for other choices...
every since the “New Platform” = BS....
Eff you all...
Comcast/Xfinity/Time Warner/etc......ALL the illegitimate spawns of parent company....fuck you and the horses you rode in on!
so...there’s that...one more thing I’m pissed about...🤭🤣

Jackie is a Mean Girl and always has been, going back to the earliest seasons of the show. It's just that most of her "burn book" is directed towards characters we already don't like.
What lets me know Jackie calling out Buffie on her infertility is malicious and not just an honest mistake is:
- The annoyance of being confronted about it by Buffie
- Acting like she did nothing wrong when asked about it on social media and television
- Pretending she doesn't know why telling a room full of people that Buffie is infertile would be offensive (she has said, when asked about it, that she doesn't know why Buffie would be hurt over being called infertile because she is, because it wouldn't be offensive to call her black when she is)
- Acting exasperated over Buffie's nonacceptance of her apology
- Concern trolling Buffie over her pain
All of Jackie's actions off camera have let me know that Jackie did that shit on purpose to be hurtful to Buffie. The real question is WHY. You come up here asking us to buy a book and celebrate "girl power" but you used your power to tear down another girl, and for what?
We know good and well if Mariah wrote a book, had a party, said she and Aydin had overcome infidelity and then pointed out Jackie in the crowd, saying "Jackie, you can relate to being cheated on, yo huzbin was flying the lady in and out of the airport and it was all over the blogs, but you and Curtis overcame" that Jackie wouldn't be amused or shrug her shoulders and get over it. The same cast member(s) telling Buffie to "take it to the side" would be tearing down Mariah at the table, on WWHL and all over social media.
Jackie's slip is showing and if you view past seasons, you'll see a peek of it here and there. I wonder if Jackie is really trying to come for Simone but doesn't want that braying in her ear, so she's coming for Buffie instead.
Contessa needs individual counseling before bringing Scott into it. First you quit your job because you claim you are tired of missing your children's moments, then you enroll in a program in another state and miss your children's moments. She could've enrolled in a program closer to home but suggested that Scott & the children pack up THEIR lives and move to the new state with her for a couple of years. If they had done that, SCOTT would've been the one out of the home as he probably would've wanted to keep his job in Atlanta; Contessa would've complained about that. She and her little friend Britten from M2MLA want to be actresses and live the influencer celebrity life instead of being at home with the man & the kids. She needs individual counseling to figure out what it is she truly wants to do because what she's doing now ain't it.
Yup...unfortunately she is a wolf in sheep’s wool sweater...(or whatever the ‘saying’ is...you catch my drift hopefully)
I am ashamed that it was finally this year I took a hard look at her.....and rechecked going back....Jackie has a disposition that can be misleading now that I’ve read a few of her “tells” as it were....
complex...characteristics...

ITA with above posts about Angela and Tony lip smacking noises...are puke provoking...then it gets worse...add the sounds of them squeakin around that leather/pleather sofa....

Tony always seems as though he’s on verge of cracking up choking on his own bullshit...

Good rule on the nbr of children.. I've never seen alot except for Bar/Bat mitzvah, Quinceañera, Sweet 16s... those types of parties tend to have extended family and cousins, in addition to classmates/sportsmates (ie the child's circle has gotten bigger) so the child count can go exponential.. End of season sports parties too can get large - siblings, spouses,
the more I replay that party in my mind - I think it was almost like it was ( a) school end-of-year function that for some reason had to be held off school premises for liability issues, or (b) some kind of subdivision function where her house served as the "spot". The people seemed kinda random and a little distant to each other..
Apologies if this is a double post...because original never showed up anywhere for me...
I’m having issues with technology...especially my phone...
(on that note ....I’d also like to look into a life coach for my sunset years...)
All that said...
no..Obvi.....none of the aforementioned “rules/guidelines***”
these....I had heard or read about...do not pertain to cultural/religious/ethnic celebrations...
(Guidelines...=
***(birthday age should = Number of b day party kid guests...6?years old birthday?... 6 guests for your birthday...Kiddo!!!!!.also holiday celebrations...Hands down .....kids should only get 3 gifts...period.)
I read an article and then my hubby’s ex wife has always talked about birthday guidelines with our 14 grandkids...
”irregardless” 😆 Contessa can go Fuck off....IMNSHO!!! 🥴
With combined kids age....she should have only had 20-25 kids max..... This is not a Kintzing Yarra it’s not a bar mitzvah or a bat mitzvah… Etc. etc.
( correction… A lot of this was on speaker text if not all of it… Kingston Yarra should be quinceanera!)
guilt trip?
Contessa...go guilt trip and suck THIS...🤡💩damiit..my emojibokis and GIFts aren’t working
therefore...cone-Tessa...go look at clown poopoo!!! 🤬
(that’s all I have for only emoji things I can access during this technically diff time....=!🤡💩...and🤬...
“oil well” life’s a bitch then you marry one ...luck you!!!.. lucky me!!!

Familial...cultural/ethnic/religious celebrations aside...
straight up simple birthday parties...is what Nancy was talking about...
(4 years = 4 kids...7 years = 7 kids...yada yada.....)
Then article read this morning was also straight up saying...No More than 3 gifts for any holiday combining up regardless of how many days of celebration....regifted or go with smaller non gifts beyond the THIRD....
-
I’m just now catching up on rest of episode of funky pool birthday...reminded me of article I read yesterday or this morning regarding children and this year holiday gifts....it implored all of us to NOT EXCEED 3 GIFTS PER CHILD...TOTAL!!! PERIOD....so of course I will discuss with all parents involved...
On that note...my step children’s brilliant mother
(who I set up with and is married to the biz partner of my uncle 😂..lol 👏)
she pointed out... if throwing a kid’s birthday party ...?? ...we should never EVER have more kids attend that the age of celebrated child.... 4 years old? 4 Kids can attend 10 years old? Ten kids invited and so on....
More than those numbers it’s sensory overload l...and the kids’ eyes glaze over...
just like they will when any more than 3rd gift for holiday...this holiday never mind the age...
Point is..over indulging is OVER
IMO.......these are both such a brilliant ideas...
so Cone-Tessa...her kids at most are 9...7....6 years old!for this “forget me not birthday party”.... Even using “fuzzy math”.......shouldn’t have been more than 22 kids there!! That would have been plenty of fun...
in or OUT of pool!!! 100-200 kids? Over the top!!! Really? That is turbo guilt on crack!!!!-

ITA. Just last week i was watching college football and I started wondering why I didn't go to Mississippi State for undergrad.
I think you have to factor in the weather too, because midwestern schools can be charming like southern ones, but who wants to freeze for the majority of the school year?
I also think there's going away, and there's going away. If someone is from OC, even Berkeley can be a car-ride away (just ask Jeana and Kara). I went to school so deep in the south that it was no longer quite the south (Miami), but it was still a completely different, immersive experience that no northern schools that I'd been to could touch, and it really helped me to grow up to know that some serious shit would have to go down in order for my parents to hop a flight to see me.
No wonder these girls are going to Texas. Michael went as far as Colorado and Vicki still tracked him down unawares. 😀 Jeana and Vicki ambushed Shane in Arizona!
I know what it feels like to have an affinity for Southern-ness and I'm so glad I got to experience it. I wouldn't trade it for the world (I know, I know, I know, Miami ain't exactly Tuscaloosa, but some of our teachers were so old that they still had southern accents, I was surrounded by people from neighboring states, and you only had to drive a few hours north to get to the south), and, as was said up thread, that can't be duplicated for someone like me, so I get it.
South..as in Miami....that’s definitely Deep South...lol
hella aroius post...!
old school Big 10...and SEC...is football (and that’s coming from the Pac-10 which is now the pack 12 and warm weather Rose Bowl that everybody wanted to go to back of the day because it was again good weather… LOLhaha!)
As for me? I’ll take a nice chilly fall football day with earmuffs on...in Midwest or South...no offense but Myaaamiiij 🤣... is a bit warm...for my Kalifournya blood...
I kid...Marry me!!!😆

I take your point. I believe what you say, of course, as you're in a better position to judge than almost anyone else. I wasn't calling Glendora itself working class, though, I was saying that from what I had gathered from what Tamra has said about her background, that she personally had been raised working class.
Tamra made Glendora seem like an outpost, sort of the way Gwen Stefani wonders how she ever got popular, being "this loser from Anaheim." From the few facts I gathered independently about Glendora, I was saying it was geographically far from the greater LA area, not about how rich or poor its people are.
I also don't think working class and middle class are incompatible. That's what I was taught in school, anyway. I generally use "working class" for people who are blue collar, and "middle class" or "upper middle class" for people who are white collar, but they're all middle class. For instance, no one is going hungry in a working class home. I would never substitute "working class" for "poor" or anything. I don't think Tamra grew up poor. I don't think many Housewives grew up poor. Leeanne Locken is the only one who comes to mind. I think there are things that Adriana from Miami and Nene from Atlanta have said to lead me to believe they had been poor at times in the past. That's about it.
I also think the figure of median household income is misleading and I'm not entirely sure why data is collected that way, but it is. But if we round up and say the median household income is $90k, and the average family size in Glendora is three (I looked it up), and we assume one person is a child, and there are two working parents, that means the median income is about $45k, which is not high in California at all. Or there are three adults living together, each making $30k, or there is one breadwinner who is raising two kids on $90k. If it's considered a wealthy suburb, which I have no reason to disbelieve, there have got to be people who are making well less than that to offset the wealthy people, and perhaps Tama's family was one of them.
In my post, i compared Glendora to Gina's hometown of North Babylon, NY, which has a higher median household income of $95k, and I don't have to do any research to call it working class; i was there about a year ago, and there's no other way for me to describe how I perceived North Babylon.
None of them are slums, in any case. I'm sure there are good people raising good children (Gina and Tamra notwithstanding) in both places.
Location location location....
im currently living in 5200 square foot home in Fresno..(here to be near grandkids after daughter met my wonderful son in law while we were up at Bass Lake...

She has THE MOST valuable domicile if the group...(not considering Dubrows)...Tear downs are a premium... Those little bungalows that use to be vacation homes from ppl inland??? On fire...real estate heaven ...Tear that motherfucker down and build up three stories (actually in Ventura...we are only aloud 2 2/3 stories..Coastal Commission Requirements..)
anyway...you go from 2.5 million to about 8.5 -15 million real quick depending...
oh forgot...only exception to water frontage would be “Golden locations..or natural convergence locations” like Ojai..where I’m from and we have family homes there and farm avos and citrus...Med climate...awesome!!!.
Similar to another more popular universal convergence place...Santa Fe New Mexico..I can’t remember them all there are several...but they have a certain magic to them...these special locations...Value..? I’m not sure...here...Ojai... well...it’s SoCal Carmel....a lot of celebrities live in Ojai...highest per capita private school population...at the time...anyway that’s all I know
Ive seen local Reality shows ..the cast members go to Ojai...It’s easily commutable to Hollywood and Los Angeles..
and on the arcade in Ojai...guaranfucking teed Nobody will EVER bother you Jerry Bruckheimer...Anthony what’s his name? Hannibal??? Ellen DG and wife..and mother..
(funny group..lots of parties...Everybody gets invited for the “” finger food”… Cool bunch of chicks
I REALLY tried to do Caleefournyuns accent...😂🥴😜😜
So much BS.
.hah! But true!!! Lol...fuck me twice on Tuesday..lol!! 🤣

Haha, this is so true. But the sad reality is this is because we spend so much time on the freeways and we also have to know how to navigate and know alternative routes when there is a sigalert or a traffic jam on the freeway we're on. Or we have to (really want to, not have to) know what the fastest route is even if it means changing freeways four times instead of taking a more direct, but more time consuming, route.
KNX 1070...weather and traffic every 6 minutes...it rules!!!!
...and weather doesn’t change much...turns into fire evacuation warning (sadly)...
I remember hearing one time… It’s Southern California… We have two seasons?… Yep that was the ticket…silly as it is...
Oscars...and Emmy seasons....or “night and day” is another clever one....haha 😆
I love The Califournyuns!!!.
...And Bill Hader has been on some talkshows speaking about how it came to fruition… The whole skit… That resulted from everybody coming back from California for the next taping of SNL and they all talked about trying to get to the airport on time to make their flight… Fred Armisen said guess what I made a skit about it and it’s going to be a soap opera concept just flow with it dude…😂🥴🥴
you tube “Every Californians Ever” 😂😂😂🤣👍 parts 1 and 2...literally LOL...
Devon and Stewaaaart... lol
Devon has “broken hearts everywhere.... from to Redondo Beach....up the 405 to the 5 in Santa Clarita...and then back south to 210 East...to Rancho Cucamonga… and San Bernardino ...broken hearts everywhere!!!”
Devon...just go and take San Vicente to the 10..take it to the 405...north to Mulholland where he BELONGS!!!!😆
It’s funny how Bill Hader said that Fred Armisen tried to be as accurate as possible and study freeways in Los Angeles to write the skit… Cute

She'd need a higher weighted GPA (and other stellar qualifications) to get into most UC campuses, Stanford, the Claremont Colleges, and yes, even USC. Baylor's acceptance rate is almost 40%, which says it is not a very selective university.
Yes...unfortunate....maybe...
but being above a 4.0 GPA isn’t uncommon...with all the over achievers out there and ‘weighted’ system..
at times it’s parents..forcing kids into situations...(in years since my kids’ college experiences..it has all become odd and wildly competitive.......
Back in day...(it was closing in on being a duck storm of competition...but thankfully ...I was able to have 3 in UCLA...and one in Pepperdine...once again...🙏thankfully when a 3.98...to 4.2s GPAs were good enough... ...
😤and NO...they were NOT fake Crew Team members....and I did NOT bribe anybody with 500K... lol....😁
(I just HAD to add a Lori/ Felicity joke in there....)
Marry me!!!!🤣
my nipple...(ummm”point) is....
kids have a tough time today....
(☝️....hah unless they’re rich kids....so...their main objectives are:
1: Spirit
2: Greek Life
3: Alumni always setting them up...sticking with them...
in other words..☝️?....
keep the person in a job..or...☝️...OR....OUT of jail....lol)Hey!!! Everybody should check out UNIVERSITY OF OKOBOJI....!!!wonderful place...I especially like the “wet campus”! 😂
(it’s a University of a “State of Mind” in Iowa....I ducking LOVE Iowa!!!!!! Smart AF...funny ppl!!!)
I also love me a pork tenderloin or 10 when I visit

I am a little hesitant to admit this, but I am such a geography nerd that this stuff fascinates me. If it were up to me, I would ask endless, seemingly pointless questions about the locales of all the franchises and their surrounding areas. But if I did that, no one would speak to me lol!
You’d be surprised... Obviously everybody loves giving each other directions around this area...about traffic…and so much is based on landmarks/business places...🥴...true to all dat...!...
And...we have our trusted source....ALL the latest traffic updates on KNX 1070 AM station....
I’ve listen to it so much I’m not sure but I think it’s 1070!!! Saved me hours being in wrong lanes approaching a problematic freeway situation....
every six minutes you can get an update..especially helpful...as mentioned before...to know what lane to avoid
ESPECIALLY when you’re going over the pass on 405 south/north bound near Sunset next to the Getty...
we would love your queries!!!👌👍after all...like SNL skit...we are “Kalifournyuns”.... aka the Californians....
we love to help out geographical dependent peeps...😆 because we all (locals)...we HAVE to have geographic acumen!!! Hahaha😂
we love it!!! ..and we know it!!!

You know, this is a really good point, about which I have never given a thought. I know Wikipedia says Tamra is from Glendale, but her blog said she was from Glendora, and once I read that, I remembered she had said it on the show. She also made no bones about being working class.
Glendora, 20 miles east of downtown LA, in the San Gabriel Valley.
I have been to the west coast, and I have family there, but I don't know it the way I know the east coast.
Given the info about Tamra and Shannon's initial locations and stations in life, though, it seems like this would be the equivalent of RHOC's Gina who is from the working class hamlet of North Babylon, in Suffolk County, NY trying to hang with the multi-millionaire Bethenny who lives in TriBeCa. (I hate Bethenny more than I hate Gina, but I could not imagine the two having anything in common).
How did Tamra manage this?
Yep... Just get on the 210...you’ll hit Glendale..but perhaps I may should clarify..🤣
If you’re coming south off the five or if you’re coming north of the five or if you’re going south on the 405 to the 101 get back north..and pass the 118...
and then north again on 5......regardless... just make sure your eastbound “and down”on the 210..no matter what!...Glendale...and......you’ll pass… Pasadena wave at Erica Jane..then☝️🤔?...Baldwin park… I think you’ll go through Monrovia but I can’t be certain of that… At this moment…
Eventually on the 210..you’ll get to Glendora and if you keep on going you’ll finally get to Rancho Cucamonga… Then it’s nothing but green all the way to Las Vegas baby…😂
Just kidding
i had to pull all my local Freeways...like SNL...Caleefournyuns...The Californians...hilarious 😆
They know their way around… As you all know
”Geytoudda here! And get on the 405 until you can’t take it anymore!”....wha....”all the way to Veentura?”....hahaha..It cracks me up every time
thank you Bill Hader and Fred Armisen!!!

S14.E16: Viral Videos and Vendettas
in The Real Housewives Of Orange County
· Edited by Shellbell59
Happy to see Emily come into her own again...but I’m still kind of skeptical of her...
I also watch Love after Lick up...or is it Luv after lick up??? I FF just to see Angela and Tony....for the most part...because they’ve been around so long..
Emily vs Angela...my post is below
once again...apologies if redundant...I’m finding double post and empty posts...Ay Dios Mios!!!!
I guess I missed some of Tony talk about Angela...
a lot of these shows I will watch while on my computer working at night...little needed breaks here and there..
At any rate...I’m a half episode behind on RHOC...we have Emily/attorney...and Angela an educated (hopefully) counselor here on LAL.....and it occurred to me once again...
intelligence and education can in fact BE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE...sad but true in these cases it seems...
get a pair...both of you...Angie baby and Em!!!!
lol (obvi having a pair and confidence not mutually exclusive)!!?...can’t quite wrap my head around the two “exclusive” terms at this current stage of lack of sleep...lol....🤣...corrections more than welcome for this ol gal!!!!
I am terminally dyslexic at times...no shade or shame...just truth here...quite a bit on my plate...as it were...Taxes...and...heart procedures...for Afib...also..
still dealing with broken windows when strung out 30 yr old kid jumped through Buck naked at my house this last week.... (bailed himself out at 14.5 K evidently)...and I have 1K deductible?... eff that noise...!!!
I HAVE to repair all 3 double panes...dammit...
.they should have added my insurance deductible to his bail in restitution fees upfront IMO...
I’m about to raise holy heck about this...
for ALL victims of “victimless crimes?”
.for gawd sakes RELEASE the pot heads...and house the ppl who need life lessons!!! If you prisons have no cells available...put away ppl that actually cause damage for fuck sakes!! Go through and see if the prisoner ORIGINAL crime is even a crime in 2020!!! If not? Get on that shot and release him/her...and go nation wide....
im on a soapbox now and I apologize...🤭
