I think, like someone else said, its something you have to go through with a guy like Brett to understand. It's not just that he is a nice guy, as someone posted above, there are certain guys that just have an invisible "kick me" sign on their back, and Brett is one of those. They aren't nice, they are, for lack of a better word, simpering. And they can be passive aggressive. He could have made it to the airport on time, he has been looking forward to her visit for months, but he couldn't leave a little early? He has picked a particular woman probably so he can be a constant victim, and so people can always pity him. I can't respect that. He is the type of guy that wants the world to look at his situation and say "gosh, he is such a nice guy, why is she such a bitch to him?" and so he sets up these situations where he knows she is going to get mad, but to the outside world it just looks like she is just mean. I would not be at all surprised to find out that they had spoken about how she doesn't like wine, but he decided to get wine anyways, because then she looks like a bitch for not wanting it after he put out a nice dinner. Although I agree about Mohammed, I think he will be able to mostly get out of sex after they are married, but he will have to have sex with her at least once. And since I don't think devout Muslims drink liquor, he is gonna have to be stone cold sober when it goes down. But for the most part, I think if he just gives her hugs, and kisses and is out with her in public, I don't think she will push for lots of sex.

Sometimes non-ratchet people don't see these things coming. They don't realize that people like Moneice really exist. They don't realize that people who abandon their children will sit around judging others for not being willing to take care of the child they abandoned. They don't realize that someone that has taken it upon themselves to talk to you in a disrespectful manner and if its perfectly acceptable will take offense to you talking to them in the same tone. They don't believe that someone with that kind of nerve actually exists. Amanda needs to run as far and as fast from this situation as possible, because I assure you Fizz will somehow find a way to make that Amanda's fault or to forgive Moniece. Moniece was seriously trying to lay some sort of mothering lesson on this girl, WTF???? She shouldn't be with Fizz unless she is ready to be a mom? What, coming from Cameron's actual mom who doesn't give two shits about him? And thats the problem with girls like Moniece. I would have no problems with Amanda pressing charges, because someone needs to. She needs a nice six month stretch for assaulting someone so she can learn how to act like a rational, functioning human being. She needs to take all that money she is spending on shoes, makeup and weaves and go see a psychiatrist.

Well, this was Savannah, and I only saw them in the area my brother lived in. I had assumed a PSA billboard would be something that would be citywide, but perhaps it was just for his particular area. I remember that little smiling grease splatter, because I thought "thats so interesting that this is a problem enough for there to be billboards" The PSA billboards around here seem to focus on a) wearing condoms and avoiding HIV and b) not texting while driving. I didn't mean to be condescending about the south being unhealthy, and I know its not the only place where unhealthy food is born. Heck, we have In-N-Out, and those burgers can't possibly be good for you! This entire conversation has made me want pie, and Mothers. If I must, I generally use butter and olive oil. But thats why I prefer to eat those foods out, and not make them myself. The lard, tallow and butter make it super delicious, but I'll try to save calories and the taste won't be as good. Some of the best food I've had has been from New Orleans, and I know not one solitary person was trying to save me calories, but even typing about Mothers right now, i can taste those red beans and rice and that hot link and chicken. And not the boneless/skinless chicken breast I would normally cook, but the dark delicious meat.

I wonder if it might be a little different in Nicaragua. I'm not sure who was at the event, maybe the press was there, maybe it was members of the various Mya Vox fan clubs. It might be hard to distribute the information to the true fans if they don't have a lot of access to modern technology. And if it was the die hard fans in attendance it was a more personal way to find out about it. I certainly understand for some larger latin american countries like Mexico, Brazil, Columbia it would probably work a lot like the US,but it may be different. And who knows, maybe the die hard fans will be rushing to get the new album if they think its their last, perhaps at some point it will become some sort of collector situation. I'm still not entirely sold on this not being part of some plan Gabriel is in on, but even if she is in on it, Chelsea may not like having to be Yoko.

It wasn't the best death, and I think many of the posts in the "How to kill Narcisse" thread were much better. However, I just needed for him to die, so I give credit to TPTB for that. If they had left him alive I would have had a fit, and no one would have cared. Although, I love that he was in the middle of some long winded nonsensical ramblings designed to impress people when he got shot.

Makes total sense, comfort food is a comfort because of those memories around it. As for the lard/grease, I'm not complaining per se, I mean, i had the best BBQ of my entire life in Savannah, and grits that are at least in the top 5 of all grits I've ever eaten. But I couldn't do that to myself. So, I can eat food that I'm sure is made with trans fats and prepared in the least healthy way possible, but I couldn't be the one to prepare that food. I would always try to find a low-fat, low calorie alternative if I prepared it myself. I bet your grandmothers comfort food was delicious, and I'm sure she never threw the lard down the kitchen sink, according to their spokesman (a grease splatter with a smiley face if you can believe it) that is a no no no!

That I didn't know, I have always seen the designers have to repurpose their looks and other losing designers looks so I had assumed it wasn't too hard to reuse the fabric and repurpose it. My bad!

I can tell you exactly how this show was pitched to them "You will have to debase yourself, act up in public, embarrass yourself and your family, but you will be on TV" Half the time I'm clowning the men too, but then again, I think they are all silly bitches, the men and the women. Yeah, Hazel is the muppet and Berg is the man that slept with a muppet. But oh those shorts! Why??? With the short on and the stomach out, its her favorite look, and listen, I love a short short as much as the next girl, and I still think you can do the look in your 30's, but you have to choose.....stomach out or short shorts. And if you buy short shorts, they can't be a Forever 21/Charlotte Russe buy. You have to invest a little money or else the whole thing is going to be a mess.

This was one of those weeks where I feel like....this show can't possibly be real. It just can't, I mean, come on now. 1. Omarions Mom - awww, she wants to "teach" Apryl things about being a mother. I'm surprised she can remember half of it with all the drinking she's done. 2. Omarion's big black limosine - I agree with the poster who said that was a load of bull. Who has these conversations on camera? Who even has them off camera? I wonder if they are trying to set the scene for a potential sex tape down the line, maybe a pregnant sex tape so they can compete with Mimi. There is a market for that sort of thing. But seriously, this was Omarion's chance to let the world think he has a giant penis, whatever. 3. Nia - why does she do that top-knot? It seriously looks like a pile of rubber dog poo sitting on top of her head. 4. Ray-J - I know he is full of it and he is just acting up to make sure he gets his camera time. I'm impressed by his dedication to the cause, and I wish I could have seen video of his leprechaun like ass kicking out a police window. But I'm not sure what storyline he is going for, I'm starting to think the season is going to end with an intervention for Ray-J, and then he can fill his time in between seasons in Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and then we can have Ray-J on our screen all the time. 5. Yesi - sad to say, but she is boring. However - I love her for not playing Ray-J's music. How fucking hilarious is that? He co-hosted PowerHouse with you, and he can't even get his music played. Muahahahahaa 6. Tierra - You know what I love, is that for all the shit she was talking about Hazel-E, and how superior she felt because she had a "real relationship" with Ray-J, Ray-J pretty much just told her that she is in the same boat as Hazel-E. He was never her boyfriend, she was just a jump off.......And yes, to the poster who said that there was all sorts of auto-tune in that song, I like how she is "improving her voice" in the recording booth....with the autotune present. 7. Hazel-E - Why??????? Just stop with Berg, I know you like him, but just stop, or at least stop on TV. 8. Next week looks like Berg is making moves....on a dark skinned girl! Why Masika, you seemed like the only one with any sense.....

And, while I give credit where its due, I also take debit where its due as well. The fabric on at least two of Char's looks is well over $100, so you could be buying that for that Italian print fabric alone. And I say that as someone who liked Char's collection, but the $100 is basically saying its worth nothing because the fabric alone is worth more than that (wasn't it like 80 euros a yard or something?)

You are so right, it sounds like you've been through it too. I'm not sure how you handled it, but it drove me up the wall! And while I realize that a lot of the things he would do were passive aggressive, I still felt bad. For example, he would sometimes say the most condescending thing to me. Especially when he would be trying to give me "work advice." And if I would tell him that I really didn't need any advice it would suddenly be "oh, he was just trying to help" and he knows this and he knows that. And again, maybe if it was someone I respected, or someone even in the same field....but he worked retail and I was in a totally different field. It would turn into an argument, and then he would start to cry. And in retrospect it was the most passive aggressive move ever, because he knew that it would stop me in my tracks. I don't really cry so the whole thing would just stop me. So he could say anything he wanted and if he felt like he was losing, he would just start crying. The last fight we ever had, it was getting to that point and I could hear him fucking sniffling on the other end, and instead of backing down, I remember specifically saying "are you fucking sniffling over there, are you fucking crying, can we ever have an argument without you breaking down like a girl in a fucking Judy Bloom novel?!?!?!!!" To this day my parents say I'm just too picky, however, to their credit, even those in my family who were his most ardent supporters fell back when they found out about the crying. I guess to me, the thing with the ring is that I wouldn't be mad at a guy for getting me a fake ring if I loved him and if he was honest about it. The ring seems more like a symbol to me, like he gave you the ring in a promise to marry you, even if its rinky dink, the intention behind the ring is still there. And the intent should be what matters. I just think she is really concerned because she wants to be able to hock it if it doesn't work out. I think his question of "what would happen if I got you a fake ring" should have been more of a focus. And sadly, he seems like the type of guy that could easily have been tricked into paying full price for a fake diamond.

Until I went to Savannah to visit my brother I had no idea this was a thing. In California, you order your tea and normally you put the sugar in yourself. I had thought all tea came like this. I didn't try it, but I've heard its super sweet, and people out there seem to drink it by the bucket. Overall, the south seems like an unhealthy place. I remember seeing public service ads/billboards reminding people not to throw used bacon grease and fat down their sinks. And then there is the issue of the Cracker Barrel, which seems to serve exclusively unhealthy food. Its amazed that most people down there are under 350 pounds.

You know, I had never thought of the weather element. Makes sense as to why I see nothing like that out here in southern california. We have maxi dresses, but the material on most seems much more lightweight as do the designs. But generally, its not so much the hippie/bohemian girls wearing maxi dresses, its everyone because its such an easy dress to wear. You know, that sort of boho-chic has to work for some real women or else no one would ever be able to sell it. Maybe there is some ex-model that wants the look.

Lyle Menendez is married and Scott Peterson gets all sorts of action thrown his way so I guess you're right :)

You know, I was thinking about that to, it looked like the conference room at a Marriott or Holiday Inn. But then I thought, well Nicargua may be a poor country and so this may be what you do when you're a rock star in a small and poor country. I think more and more that this is some publicity move and Gabriel is in on everything. I guess that the move to BFE seemed more real, and frankly it would be tough to make it in Miami, NYC, or LA. I totally agree about Danielle. She is a stage 5 clinger and I think Mohammed may have gotten more than he bargained for. She seems like the type to stalk him after he leaves her and shoot him, or kidnap him. I just see Misery scenarios all around. I am impressed with how many times he says "thank you" though. She was clearly trying to get him to change his mind about sleeping with her, and she said something like "well, this is the couch, since you want to have sex after marriage you'll have to sleep here" and his answer was a very flat "oh yes, we'll have to get married soon, thank you for that." And yes, her son seems slow. Mohammed as already established his intellectual dominance over that entire family. I felt so bad for that kid, he clearly wants to be the big man protecting his mom, but he got punked in pool by Mohammed in front of everyone. Truly, if this trainwreck was only happening to Danielle I would be fine with it. A 41 year old woman should know better. She wants a guy that wants her for her wonderful personality, but I think there are men with wonderful personalities that live in her area. But none of them that look like Mohammed would give her the time of day. So, her focus is on the physical and superficial with him. If he had been a nice 50 year old man from Tansania she wouldn't have given him the time of day. I only worry for her children, because when he bolts she is going to be a mess. I don't hate Mohammed anymore than I hate the beautiful women from foreign countries with depressed economies that are picked up by American men. He seems like a nice enough guy, and so I'm hoping that he is just using her for the green card and doesn't leave her broke. And honestly, I think if he just continues to hug her and hold her hand, he may not have to have much sex with her. I'm happy to know I'm not the only one who has some questions. His two best friends appear to not be the manliest of men either. I'm sure his family has their own questions. If he was strategic and bold, he would tell them he was gay, and the introduce Amy. The only thing that bothers racists more than interracial dating, is intragender dating. They would be certain to embrace her after that.

Its so hard to say, it was always hard for me to see Buschemi (sp) in the role of Nucky. He did a great job with the role, but there was always a part of me that could never fully lose myself in him as Nucky because it was so unbelievable to me. I always imagined a different actor, someone with more of a leading man quality, Buchemi, (sp) while an amazing actor just never quite seemed suited to the role. I always imagined more of an irish James Gandolfini type. The magic of Tony Soprano was that he was somewhat good looking, but he had a certain charm to him, you knew he was a sociopath, but you could see that charm, you could understand why women would want to be with him, I mean, yes, he was bald, he had a big gut, but there was just something about him. I actually think the actor playing Joseph Kennedy might have done a better job. But, I digress, I think for me, since I couldn't totally buy into Buschemi as Nucky, I couldn't really lose myself in all of his interactions with others, so its hard to tell if it was the cast, or if it was just that I wasn't feeling it. No death scene was as beautiful as Richard's. Chalky's is a second, but Richard's death scene was superb. You might be right, I know he took some pauper's oath when he got out so he didn't have to pay back the money he owed the IRS. But Nucky seemed smart enough to have money hidden somewhere....although, it seems like he lived a pretty quiet life in AC until his death. But I feel like, back then it was so easy to hide money in different countries

But right now, do we know who cresent moon tattoo guy is? If he is the same guy that is going to get in a cab with Charlotte, thats probably not part of what Victoria paid for, so perhaps someone is after David and he doesn't want to put Emily in the middle. Crescent moon tattoo guy may be funded by someone else, it could be the same people hiring Jack's partner to do whatever. He has no idea yet what she has done, or what she is capable of, even if he puts two and two together, the most he may know is that she is rich and has a good life, he may have no idea she is such a badass.

In my day, they had to ban the Aqua Net to keep out the Latina gangsta look

Yeah, but it made me not like who I was around him. I think if a man stood up to Daya, she would straighten up quick. If Brett made some noise about how its "not going to work out" and "maybe its for the best she just go back" I think she would start to show him a little more respect. Although, frankly, when my ex and I broke it off I was relieved, and after a while when he did try to stand up to me I thought he was a joke (his version of standing up to me normally involved him crying or preparing to cry). I know, for me, I can be nice and sweet, just not with that type of guy.

The thing about Chalky is, I never thought he felt comfortable in his family life. He always seemed to feel like the family was what he should want, and it should have fulfilled him, but it didn't. I don't know if it was all about Daughter, or just about Chalky hoping that this is what would finally make him happy. He always seemed like a cat on a hot tin roof with his family, just out of place. I remember him fighting with his wife over him not being good enough or something like that, and it always just stuck with me that he wanted to be a good family man, he wanted to want that, but he just didn't. I don't think that diminished his love for his daughter at all. I just think he wasn't happy. I think Daughter may have represented another dream for him.

I laughed when the captain didn't assume he made copies of the files....

Now...if defense of Daya... I once dated a man who was very Brett like. Very sweet, but there was just something about that type of guy that for a woman like me will end poorly. I walked all over him and he could annoy me to no end. It seemed like he was doing annoying and stupid shit all the time. But he was very sweet, he would just do stupid and annoying stuff. I didn't like the person that I was around him, because I could just be mean when it came to him. Ultimately, I think I didn't respect him, and so I would walk all over him. I'll give you an example. We had to pick up a birthday cake that I had pre-ordered from Wal-Mart. We didn't have much time before the party started, so I said, just drop me off in front of the Wal-Mart. I'm going to be in and out like a flash, so just circle the parking lot. Because it was a full sheet cake, I knew I would need both hands, so I left my cell phone in the car and took only my wallet so I could have both hands free. So I'm in and out of the Wal Mart in 7 minutes flat. And I'm holding this giant ass, heavy, full sheet cake looking for his car. And looking.....and looking....and looking. For 10 minutes....20 minutes.....I'm walking the lot with this heavy ass cake which is starting to sag.....30 minutes, I finally had to set the cake down and it messed up the decorations. And I'm fuming, he is nowhere to be found......40 minutes later he rolls up. Apparently, he decided that the best thing for him to do was park his car, put on his AC and listen to the radio for 35 minutes and then drive up to the front of the store. I mean, sure I told him I would be in and out in a flash, and that he should only circle the lot and I would be out, and yes, my cell phone was sitting right there in his car, but somehow his plan seemed like a great idea. I couldn't even talk to him, I couldn't even look at him I was so pissed off, because now instead of being on time, I knew we were going to be late. And then, of course, he was driving like we had Miss Daisy in the car with us. 65 miles an hour the entire way there. And he would do stupid, annoying shit like that all the time. and maybe if I respected him it either wouldn't have bothered me, or whatever else I felt would have outweighed it, or maybe I would have just not thought about it, but I didn't respect him and so I would get annoyed, and it would show. and he was a nice guy, but he would do stupid shit, like this guy showing up late to pick up someone flying in from another country. Thats already going to put her in a pissy mood, and now you're handing her these flowers and laughing like a hyena and its a recipe for disaster.

My sister was describing the show to me, and she specifically told me that Mohammed was pretty much trying to hide from her. I think he was. He didn't look like he was looking for her at all, he wasn't trying to find a pay phone, he wasn't trying to find a courtesy desk with a phone, he was just standing behind a pole somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he had called for an uber and had to cancel it. Well, luckily for her, he probably wouldn't be into those teenage girls. But I can certainly see a situation where she is giving him money, buying him a car and he is using the car and the money to court more comely teenage girls. That makes sense, so it may all be a marketing opportunity. That sounds like an awesome Hallmark Movie....when are they going to introduce the beautiful blonde?

9 minutes and 40 seconds in on episode one - Hello Brett - its nice to see a grown man going for a Golden Girls living situation. My family isn't racist, but we are rough, and we can be assholes. We are those people that when you say "90 day visa" we are probably going to think "she wants a green card!" I don't think thats racist, but we realize that a lot of times people want to get to the United States, in fact, my parents, as foreigners realize that more than anyone. But at some point you're going to have to face that from a family like mine and its better to ease us into it, let us have our objections and then go about proving us wrong.

I don't know, maybe this is how he is supposed to play David Clarke. The guy in the flashbacks is so animated. Maybe he is faking so everyone thinks he is emotionally stunted and then when he finally unleashes his revenges he will be full of piss and vinegar!
