Emily's hair still looks like crap.

I received my one and only infraction 3+ years ago, as a member of Primetimer, and not while a TWOP member. I remember being confused because my posts had been removed and I had not written anything offensive, either language or otherwise. I wrote to the mod who oversaw that forum and she/he said that my rebuttal, as well as another post had been reported by a third party, and thus hidden. Essentially what it all boiled down to was that the mod told me that I was " Telling other posters how they should post is not allowed, which is what you were doing." Honestly, it's still a head scratcher. My original post said that an actor's name was X. I was mistaken. I honestly thought his name was the name that I had posted. Some other poster responded back that I was mistaken, and I felt that she replied in a condescending way to me, as obviously I had made an honest mistake. So, the details are fuzzy at this point, and I wrote back something along the lines of 'well, ok, honest mistake, but you didn't have to reply back the way you did." I'm putting it in quotes, but honestly, I truly don't remember what I said, but I wasn't nasty in the least. So, basically, I was scolded/reprimanded for getting my feelings hurt. I'm all for the snark when it's about the shows, the plots, and the actors, but I don't feel there's a place for it here, for a member's post. I was embarrassed enough by my mistake, and the poster's tone to me was nasty and made me feel like an idiot. I still feel that I wasn't wrong, but whatevs. I know I'm thin skinned and very sensitive. It's not the 1st time my feelings have been hurt here at Primetimer and I have to give great big thank you's to @Yeah No and to @shapeshifter, who either messaged me directly, or came to my defense online.

I finally saw the Boise, Idaho episode, and one thing especially, had me scratching my head. One of the houses was only partially fenced in the backyard; I believe it was either the realtor or the buyer's sister who said something to the effect that oh yes, we will have to have the seller take care of that before selling. I was like what the heck? I've never heard of a buyer asking a seller to take care of fencing a yard for them. I mean, I know during home inspections some major problems come up and it's customary to ask the seller to take care of the issue or issue a credit. But fencing a yard? Most definitely, not. At least not in my neck of the woods.

Kristen, Olivia's summons is for jury duty. It's probably the initial questionnaire that they send, which you have to fill out and then send back. There may be a way to do it online, but I'm not sure. Also, it's been a while since all of the NYC boroughs have had a 25 mph speed limit, regardless of school zones. My dear, late father-in-law lived in Flatbush, Brooklyn, which is sort of in the middle of the borough: as in when you exit the parkway, you have to drive quite the distance on the streets to reach his home. It was pure torture doing only 25 mph and getting stopped at almost every traffic light.

Is there any way to respond to the summons online?

5 weeks in Britain and Ireland sound wonderful! Safe travels and enjoy, @Anduin!

😂 Yeah, they're usually very helpful once I am able to finally speak to a live person. @Bastet, we have Verizon FIOS.

YES!!!! I have both a landline and a mobile phone, but if I'm in the mood for a lengthier conversation, I will use the landline. I just use the Caller ID function on the phone to screen spam calls. Our TV used to flash the name of whoever was calling on our landline # onto the screen, which was helpful, because the phone was in another room. Now, however, we have a new provider, and we no longer get the flashing # on our TV. Perhaps I need to activate that function, but I wouldn't know how.

👍 Agreed!

Yes, the excess fabric made her look heavier than she actually is. Matronly is exactly right. My husband agreed with me that we didn't care for her dark lipstick, either.

Brennan is no prize, but Emily is truly insane. I think Kevin gave up trying to moderate and just let them go at each other.

Ya Know, I totally forgot about that. If Austin really had felt that strongly about his religion, why would he not indicate that to the experts? He definitely should have been paired with another Christian if that's truly the way he felt. Becca may have been open to being with someone not of her faith, as it seemed as if she wasn't super religious, but once Austin had made that comment about going to Hell, why in the heck would she even want to stay married to him? These were ALL bad matches all around. Do better, MAFS!

I don't peruse Reddit, but how do I find Theresa on Instagram? First and last name? Never mind. I found it. She posted a lovely message about 10 hours ago thanking everyone for their support. It really seems as if Gerry was the one who wanted out. I never was a fan of either one, but I do kinda feel bad for Theresa now.

Can you either post a link here or pm me? Thanks.

Bingo! Winner winner, chicken dinner! Plus, that slowwww way he had of talking drove me nuts. We never were told what type of job Austin had and I was always curious. I'm in the camp that Austin was NOT physically/sexually attracted to Becca, but truly didn't want to hurt her feelings by telling her that off-camera. It would have been a kindness in the long run, if he had.
