Readalot, I am sorry you are dealing with this. It has to be scary.

The fuckery level is reaching all time highs on this show now. I do not watch KUWTK. I do not watch Kris Jenner. I do not care about the Kardashians. They have all been on TV so long they can no longer find the truth. Khloe used coversate as a verb. Grrr. I have so many trans and/or queer friends that no longer have any relationship with their families. I don't think the Kardashians will suddenly refuse to speak with Cait because they will do whatever they need to do to stay on TV. I more and more have the feeling that Candis was hired to take part in this show. I hope she is being well compensated.

LuAnn's dress looks more like something Ramona would wear. It's very shiny and doesn't fit well.

I turned into Vicki during this first look - I kept snoring, The only difference, I was actually falling asleep.

I have no desire to eat yogurt when the container has been wrapper around a man's genitals and ass while he frolics on the beach. They are working hard to equate yogurt with sex. Yeah, no. Everyone at some point has probably tried to put a bite of food in their mouth only to realize it is too big. According to the Panera ads, in that situation you should just shove it in then smile like you are the cutest thing ever when you are chewing with your half open mouth that has lettuce falling out. I suspect advertisers have somehow confused images that make me want to consume their food with those that make me heave.

I am really tired of seeing the guy get all oozy over his turkey avocado sub at Subway. If people are having sexual experiences at Subway, I wil not be going there. Keep it in your pants until you get home, 12 inch sandwich freak. It's not safe for you to eat that in public. I do enjoy the new truth in advertising Taco Bell spots. Apparently their food is only eaten on dares. As a child, he would eat worms and boogers to shock his schoolmates. Now they dare him to eat Taco Bell food and dare him to a) keep it down and b) not crap himself.

It made me laugh. The letter stunt turned the outfit into the world's weirdest party dress. Oh, I have my invitation right here. I'll pull it out of my boob envelope.

This brings to mind a story about my Great Aunt Stella. She passed away more than ten years ago, but she was one of those people who was her funniest when she wasn’t trying. Her doctor sent her to a clinic to do a series of memory tests since she had complained that she kept forgetting things. The tester’s third language was English, so she was not as likely to catch some answers that might be similar to the correct answer. After doing a series of short term and long term memory tests (remembering a series of words, identifying people in photos, recounting parts of her history), she was shown a series of (not particularly accurate) drawings of common items and animals. One was a drawing of an octopus. Stella called it a “squib”. She said she knew the word wasn’t right but she couldn’t come up with the right word. The tester wasn’t familiar with the word squid, so she was only expecting octopus which is clearly far from squib. She looked up squib, a small firecracker or a brief, satirical witty writing, and marked Stella’s answer down as a major error. When I saw Stella at the end of the test, she told me about this answer. I pointed out she was probably thinking of squid. She said of course she was; she was hungry and we were going to lunch. She wanted to go to the little Italian bistro with the fried calamari. She then started speculating about every other answer she had given. Were the chopsticks actually pencils? Did she misremember the items she was asked to remember and start listing the menu items instead? When her doctor reviewed the results with her Stella told her about the food theory. She said, “I was hungry. I wanted that squid fried up and served with a dipping sauce. Ask me again after I eat.”

A few seasons back a designer made a dress that looked like a used maxi pad. One could argue that was for "a special time in her life." In the future, Edmond may want to be more specific.

There's not exactly a lot of drama over whether Kendra and Hank stay together when they show the commercials for their crapfest of a show every damn commercial break. The lie detector was just more bullshit for all of the "couples". Given the qualifications of the "therapists" on this show, I don;t even believe they were given the actual results - anything for more drama. What a train wreck this thing is. I may need to see a reputable therapist to help me understand why I continue to watch it. I got drawn in by the Watch It version. Might I just say, yes, Mike, I know what you mean. Please stop inquiring.

Heavy wrapping paper makes sense to me. They would have white for wedding presents which fits his design. When they were grabbing cards at the store, I wondered what they expected to do with four to five of each card they selected. Given the number of same cards some people used, they must have been given boxes of them (which of course we weren't shown). It also seems like people grabbed ribbon and other items that would be available in a Hallmark store. I haven't been to a Hallmark store in a very long time. I don't remember them carrying buckets of glitter.

You're right. I combined the two in my head. Merline's manatee penis dress deserved to be in the bottom. That was some serious fug.

Just caught the episode on Netflix offering one year of paid maternity leave. The woman from notsoskinnymom needs to shut up and go away. Wow. She totally dismissed the idea of the role of fathers in parenting. She is simply not funny yet she kept expecting to hear laughter.

When the designers were commenting that Blake's dress was showgirl and all glitter, I immediately thought "Heidi will like it". To create the lining he attached the large glitter panels from cards to the muslin. The woman with the black "lace" top created her fabric out of the cards. I am calling shenanigans on the praise for Blake's look. I do want to give a shout out to the editor that showed the designer wearing the shirt that said something like there's never too much glitter right after the comments about how Blake's outfit was just all glitter. Edmond's look did show gaps when the model walked. He seemed to have put a muslin mini underneath, just in case. It really was a toss up between Edmond and Swapnil for me. Both looks were beautiful. I might have given the win to Swapnil because of the impeccable fit and workmanship. Bottom two for me were the hoodie of missing the point of the challenge and the pink waste basket skirt. Manatee penis may have kept herself out of the bottom with the trick of having the model pull a card out of the envelop on her chest while on the runway. Zack seemed quite amused by that. ETA: I forgot to mention the Bada Bing Gel. Really? You want her hair to look like someone just splooged on it? Or is it more like someone emptied a grease trap on her head? She had more than shine going on.

This show is just the fakest of the fake. You have 45 days to identify potential replacement properties for a 1031 exchange and 180 days to close on the new property. Every conversation is Seller: "I think it's worth this much," Agent: "I think it's worth less", Agent TH: "There is no way to get what the client wants." Then they supposedly get an offer within a few weeks at most. What a waste.

The cat bed commercial confuses me. The regular bed that the cat slept on and covered in fur is shown in color. If it's not in black and white, I just don't see the problem.

It was the battle of the dicks. St. Marq has been a dick from day one. I will be happy to not have to hear him tell us, in the third person, just how incredible he is. Show, don’t tell, because you haven’t shown all that much outside of your fully blended black and gray. Lines matter, St. Marq, in tattooing that is. Chris made a bad choice in having them all tattoo such large areas on their canvas at the same time. Not many people could sit through that. When she started to panic, his behavior made it worse, not better. Katie tried to talk her down and help her get better control. Chris stood around, posing, trying to look tough, and bitching about her. I am so glad he knows what was going on with her. We wouldn’t want to trust her to better assess her own physical sensations and state of mind. I guess the trained paramedic was also just feeding into her drama. Thanks, Chris; when I need a medical assessment, you’re the guy I’ll go to, that is, after I have spoken with every other person on the planet. And hey, Chris was a marine. Did you know that? If we made a drinking game out of every time he tells us he’s a marine, I would be dead from alcohol poisoning. Or as Chris would say, I would be being dramatic.

Wok Chop, welcome back to the workforce. As a person with a disability, you do not need to disclose anything unless you are requesting an accommodation. During an interview, you should not bring it up. Kokapeti makes an excellent suggestion. You can say you took time off to help family members. Then be clear to say that those issues are now resolved. (For example, I changed from working on the road to working from home for a few years because my brother was ill. I will be citing family issues when I look for work). I have a hidden disability and I never give them any ideas. I too can have a hard time going for non-disclosure, but it very important that you control what you do and do not present to a potential employer. In terms of getting some relevant work experience, look for local legal aid societies or other non-profits that do legal type work; for example, renters alliances, immigrant support groups, small business associations. Many of these organizations are always looking for help. You could use your volunteer experience to fill out your resume. Maybe you can find some of these closer to your home. For help interviewing, you can find sample questions and answers on line, but the biggest thing is practice. As many have suggested, see if a friend or relative can help you practice. You want to learn how to be comfortable putting a positive perspective on what you can offer an employer without slipping into the negative. From your prior work, you have experience working in a fast-paced environment in which you needed to be adaptable. You also bring a level of maturity that they may not see in recent grads. So you bring a mature perspective and better understanding of commitment to your employer for a newbie’s pay rate. Since you have experience being on SSA, you could also look into applying for paralegal work in social service agencies. Then your experience would be an asset. And big plusses to everything Springtime and HappFatChick said.

Oh please let it be so! The pastor can baptize/pasteurize her in the pasture by rolling her in cow shit. It's a win for everyone but Tamra. Then again, they could probably tell her that this is how baptisms are usually done and she would be none the wiser.

From the recap: This made me laugh too much. The fucking white suit. If there was a drinking game for this, we would all be hospitalized with alcohol poisoning. Oh, and by the way, Jordan will see Frank in two weeks “or less”. Yes, “or less”. How many times did he say “or less”? First, this sounds wrong. Second, why didn’t he just say “You’ll be seeing my corpse in a day or two if you stick around” since the foreshadowing was so strong. By the end, I cared so much more about barely bronze Stan than I did about Jordan. Things are suddenly so much clearer to me. Huggy Bear runs the orgies of big name politicos and signed contracts.

Blossom's school records might be under two different names, which would out her immediately. If she is attending a women's college, then the fact that she has transitioned could be very obvious. While it is nice to think that discrimination would not occur, college admissions are not done blindly; there is a lot of discretion in the process, especially at highly sought schools or programs. I had cancer in high school with a recurrence in college. I never mentioned it on my applications because it was well known that schools do not typically give scholarships to people with life-threatening disorders. Of course, there are the occasional high profile cases where they do, but in more typically they don't. Cait may be able to help Blossom get into nursing school because it would now be high profile, not a trans woman of color without a lot of money trying to get in based on hard work only. I love it anytime there is a suggestion that people don't give a damn about the Kardashians. Jen is so wonderful. And my Chandi love grows every day. Whenever I hear the term pink cloud, I think about pink mist. Then I get worried someone is going to blow up. Cait has spent so much time on reality TV that's she's a pro. The verklempt "I want to say something" with a long pause before she speaks is a classic. It's gives the editors a perfect place to break for a commercial and a great clip for the teaser. Sometimes the sausage-making is much too clear on this show. from the previews, it looks like it is really going to go downhill as we get more Kardashian influence.

I could watch Dwayne Johnson singing "Shake It Off" in his car for hours.

OK, clearly I killed someone in a former life so I am doing penance. I watched the first look that was tagged onto the RHOC first look. The Manzos are just as boring as ever. Albie and Christopher are both admitting they live elsewhere. they no longer live together. Albie is supposedly an entrepreneur (in this case, that equals an unemployed loser). The big excitement was watching Albie sit on the counter while Lauren cooked. If a meteor fell from the sky and took out the Manzos would the world be a better place? I believe it would.

During the Frank and his wife scene, I kept thinking “She was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar . . . “. Between the two of them, they cannot hold my attention on the screen. By the end I was yelling “Just fucking die already!” at Frank. His limp made no sense. At least the buzzards should get a tasty snack. This thing just would not end.
