Especially a stranger surrounded by a camera crews, LOL, or maybe the denizens of Greensboro are used to it. I haven't found Wikipedia to be an especially accurate source of science issues, but I agree, in this case they nailed it! LOLOL

I think it's because Babs is shacking up with Glenn and Whitney isn't.

Not a good plan. It just teaches the cat not to do it when you're there, and to distrust you. Make it the cat's decision, not yours. There are motion activated compressed air bottles you can set up. Or maybe figure out why it is happening. Some cats feel safer on counters because of what is happening at ground level (nippy little dogs or toddlers). Maybe a cat tower near the counters. I have long thought, because of the resemblance of Babs to Whitney in those early pictures, except that Babs was always so much more beautiful, that it created dysfunction in Whitney's relationship with BOTH parents. Probably doesn't help that Babs is so free with fat shaming Whitney (not that I want her to stop! LOL).

Whitney and Buddy came to blows when he lived there previously because she didn't think he was paying his fair share. She wanted him to sign a lease. If there a lease this time? Can he afford to stay there? Did he pay her back previous rent owed?

To smudge sage you have to burn it. Just enough to produce smoke and then use a fan to distribute the smoke throughout the room. It improves the energy. Nothing to do with bad spirits.

No, they're following around a sex-starved, boundaryless beluga. You have to figure in battle pay.

Whatever it is for Whitney, not enough to spare her dad from co-signing a modest mortgage.

The thing is that anyone Whit would hook up with would already be a hot health mess with no likelihood to improve, only continue to deteriorate. Frankly, it's why I am unlikely to ever get married again. It would have to be to someone who truly respected their physical self and I'm in the age range (mid 60s) where people let themselves fall apart. I have done too much end-of-life care (parents, husband, cats). It sucks but at least it energized me to learn what I needed to do and to do it. So maybe what Glenn needs to do is to set up a trust fund for a series of Donnas to care for his precious little beluga. More realistic than expecting marriage to provide that to her. More humane than pushing the narcissist bitch to have kids.

I'm sure Whit would be a very generous parent. She would let all her friends smell her new baby's whatever.

She didn't have PCOS at 15 based on anything else she has ever told us.

I'm sure Glenn is conflicted between wanting to retire so he can look after Babs and needing to keep working because Whitney's future is in question.

Active cell phones and laptops near the nether regions do affect fertility, at least temporarily, in both males and females. So it's increasingly part of the problem.

OK, but infertility is up in the US. If that isn't promoting more adoptions then maybe more people don't want kids? I never did (gave my quota away to quite a few people who would have been much better parents).

Todd's snarks are great. I wonder if he saves them up for the cameras, LOL.

Infertility is up in the US and many other developed countries. A contributing reason is all the active cell phones in hip pockets and laptops placed on laps. This may be promoting adoptions from outside the US.

Yes, that's what I had in mind, considering how painful it has become to watch this show. I couldn't watch last night and I may not watch in the future. Besides, Twit spilled the beans on all the plot lines and they're all SO BORING. How could TLC let her get away with this?

What we need is a Dedicated Watcher (and no, I am not volunteering!)

If Donna was a paid personal care attendant, in which case Glenn was probably doing the paying, maybe he was a little too grossed out by the scene where Donna was massaging Whitney's bare breasts and got rid of Donna after a polite delay. Was he there in person for that scene or did he perhaps not see it until it was aired?

Organic bone broth, highest protein content you can find. Good luck!

From her lifestyle she is almost definitely sterile.

She has a small house. She isn't busy at work. She doesn't fucking need a cleaning service.

Easy for her to throw a fit about being ineligible to adopt since she didn't want to do it anyway. For all we know, she shopped multiple agencies until she found one that emphatically said NO!

The only time Buddy impressed me at all, and it was just in comparison with the ultra loser BF-for-hire Lenny, was during the parlor game among the 4 of us. Lenny didn't know anything important about Whit, like her favorite pizza toppings (he had plenty of occasion to observe), but Buddy did pretty well by Heather. So I think he can be a decent friend, just not a BF.

We **AIM** to give you a great 24-minute workout 5 days a week... That's hardly a promise or guarantee. So any whiners need to read the fine print before signing up. Translated = no refunds after you discover what crap this is.

Thanks IP! I definitely think I can skip watching this one. Anyone think this is the end of the storyline about an adoption? If so, last season's attempt at a cliffhanger is over before the season even begins, LOL. Or did she FINALLY come up with a reason why being humongously fat might not be fabulous after all? Maybe it's Jessica-I-have-to-lose-weight-and-the-hell-with-form. And how did that nice agency lady know about Whitney's mental problems? Her fans are going to be really pissed about this!
