[Flip Or Flop - General Discussion]

It was a heartbreakingly bad remodel. Mr. Squeak and I went to see it when it was on the market, because it was in one of the two neighborhoods in Santa Ana we really wanted to buy in. It looked like it was a Cliff May designed home which was what grabbed us. I have never seen such terrible construction though. The chimney's mortar was coming out in chunks the size of my hand, there was terrible rot in the rafters that they had just painted over and my favorite part was the SPRAY PAINTED IVY on the back fence. The pool had huge cracks in it, and we weren't willing to invest another 50-100k to fix the house with the way it was done. We were bummed because we love that neighborhood, but we won't even look at a house if the El Moussa company has touched it. 

I've often wondered how they really looked (without the editing).  They seem to spend a fair amount, if they're being honest, but maybe they should concentrate on the bones of the house rather than herringbone tiles.  The designs are not really my taste, anyway.

There are, but for some people, that $50 is too much to spend (not Bubby).  I wouldn't want anyone to feel like they HAD to spend money they didn't have on clothes they'd never wear again to come to my wedding.

They could always wear them to church!  I, for one, would be pleased to see people actually dressing for the occasion.  We can see photos of people in the Great Depression & WW 2, & they would not be caught dead looking like slobs.

I thought I read her obituary a few years back.  Maybe that was Julie Gregg who played Sonny's wife.  R.I.P Ms. King

I thought she had died a few years ago, also.

It's difficult for me to even imagine a man wearing overalls anywhere except at his farm or his local tractor supply store, much less at a wedding.

I don't consider myself to be a formal, stuffy person, but that boggles my mind.

Surely there are dress pants, dress shirts & ties at WalMart.  Jackass could probably get a decent outfit for $50.

When people say they have no knowledge of pop culture, I always think they are being a tad disingenuous.    Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode, where he was too embarrassed to admit that he watched Melrose Place.

The last wedding I went to, which was a classy one, had a candy bar that was open the whole time and the thing was annihilated before we ever got near it.

It’s like the open bar - if it’s free, people can’t control themselves.

Hell to the "no".  Houses of worship and reception venues may have dress codes, but otherwise, leave your guests alone.  Adults can decide what to wear, and if they choose something inappropriate, that reflects on them rather than you.  Telling them what to wear can be for no reason other than to have perfectly staged Instagram photos, with your friends and family serving as props. 

If people had any sense, the bride & groom wouldn't have to tell them what to wear.  The idiots have no respect for the occasion or the couple.

Does anyone remember Daniel Levy from The Hills Aftershow with Jessie Cruickshank?  (I think they did something a little more substantial also).  I didn't put two and two together at the time that he was Eugene's son, but I always liked him.

.

I remember that.  It was quite amusing.  Can’t stand him now.  I wish he would tone it down a tad.

Nothing says “formal wedding” like a tractor pull!  The previous format was a lot of fun, now they’re just trying too hard to be trashy.

I agree - I am in the Twin Cities and you do not have to travel far to find folks like these people in KY.  Places south have pockets of folks who do tractor pulls, only listen to country music and line dance, NEVER travel outside their county, eat Mom and Dad's BBQ every day, marry their middle school sweetheart at 19, have the SAME bunch of friends their entire life and just don't get out much.  Send them to a huff-puffy wedding in Uptown (THE place in south Mpls) and they would be like, WHAT??

I get that they’re from a different environment, but you have tv & movies, you can see how the other half lives!

I agree Sunny looks freaky...and there was no reason for her to do that to her pretty face, and while I am being catty, those hair extensions ARE NASTY.

Yes - she needs a nice, short haircut.  I would really like to see the end of the extension trend.

With all due respect I did not say I hated her because she was rich. I actually said I would be interested in seeing her take on non-super rich people and I would give her a chance. Or at least that was my intent.

Sorry, it was a joke.  A take on the old commercial "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful" - not everyone gets my obscure references!

Mrs. Joy looks fantastic and she doesn't look all puffed and botoxed up either, although she admits to using it.

She should share the name of her doctor.  She has a totally natural look that some of the other old bats would do well to imitate.

I think she said she uses fillers (of some sort).

I have to admit that I've never seen her, although her background doesn't make me optimistic.   Is Abby a real friend of MM, or is the friendship all in MM's head?
