My favorite commercial and the only one I've liked in a long time is the All-State commercial with the family all on their phones ignoring the dad and him talking to himself. I love the dad. I usually fast forward all commercials but if I see that one when I'm zipping past I rewind to watch it. I hope they keep that family in their ads for a while. He seems so proud of himself for leaving the seat up on purpose.

(from a discussion in a different thread) My granddaughter just started 4th grade and she has a black, male teacher. He's her second male teacher and her second black teacher but her first black, male teacher. She LOVES him. She thinks he's the best, funniest teacher ever. He gives them a joke at the start of class and they have to tell him what they think the punchline is as they're walking out for the day. She loves that. We have been inundated with bad, corny kid jokes for the last couple of weeks. This teacher doesn't rap though. My birthstone is Ruby. I've had a few cats named Ruby in my life and my mom bought me a ruby and diamond ring for my 18th birthday since hers was diamond, I still wear it every day. My granddaughter will get it after I'm gone. My kids stones are aquamarine and blue topaz and I have a ring with their stones. For my daughter's 30th birthday I had a ring made for her with hers and the kids birthstones. I refused to put my sin in law's birthstone but that a whole other story. The birthstone ring/jewelry is a tradition in my family. I have my mom's, she started the tradition. Insomnia sucks.

Moved to small talk.

Sorry about the quote box. My phone is being crazy. I wonder what happened to make Tia stop talking about the family. In the first season she talked about her husband all the time and even went so far as to have the cameras in the courtroom during his trial. Now she gets pissed off if anybody even asks about him. They showed the kids weddings in recent seasons and now they don't even say anything about the kids having babies. I don't watch the show anymore, I can't stand watching sad, abused animal shows anymore and I don't do social media (had Facebook for a while but deleted my account and never regretted it) so I apologize if this has already been addressed.

Why are they in cages in the first place? Why does an animal control officer think its ok for them to be in cages? Dogs don't belong in fucking cages!! I don't even like crates for dogs, train your dogs and you won't need to put them in crates. If somebody wants a caged animal, let them get a damn hamster. I have never and would never put one of my dogs in a cage. It makes me sick to see it. I was a dog groomer/trainer (until forced medical retirement) and I always tried to steer people away from crates and cages.

I don't watch these shows anymore and only keep up with them on a few threads here so I have a question. Why is it bad and why are they being criticized for taking in friends during a storm? I sincerely don't understand why this is a bad thing. I would take in friends and I wouldn't take in strangers in most cases, I wouldn't want people I don't know staying in my house, so I don't get why this is wrong.

Thanks for answering my question @strongoxman. I didn't think it was natural, I don't watch this on a regular basis and never saw the first few seasons so I had no idea. I wonder how long ago it happened and what went wrong. I feel bad, I shouldn't have said what I said about Gage's nose. He can't help what his nose looks like and it was wrong to insult his appearance. His hair though, I can make fun of.

I don't think Gage is attractive or "hunky" at all. He has Ken doll hair and a nose like Pinocchio, I find him very unattractive. I think of the two Jeff is better looking, except for that weird upper lip. Is that his natural lip or was it enhanced?

What's a Ramona PG?

That is awesome and makes me happy that I use Chewy. I once sent an email to Amazon customer service and said my cat was disappointed that my latest package came in an envelope instead of one of the boxes that she loves. Two days later I get a huge box delivered with a cat toy, some treats and a bunch of empty boxes addressed to "Cat lastname".

Eric Violette! I loved him, the funny part is that he doesn't (didn't) even speak much English. I miss those commercials so much.

I sing the chorus to my granddaughter. I started singing it to her when she was a preemie in the hospital and I would go up every night at 6:30 for her evening feeding. It's our song and I don't care if people think it's weird. She's now 9 years old and we sing it to each other all the time and we always buy things with the saying on it for each other. We sing the chorus as is but over the years we've rewritten the rest of the words to fit us.

I just started watching a couple of months ago, have they said how he got the name Sticks? I think Sticks is as good looking or better in some cases as the officers are. He's a good looking guy. I have never liked Abrams, he's a little too...earnest for me. I guess that's a correct word to use. Every time I see the title of this thread I think of him because I always want him to SHUT UP ALREADY!

Wow is right! I never heard about that one. She's such a bitch. She doesn't care what the kids want, she just doesn't want Jon to get them. She wants to be the one they want and it's killing her that she can't control them anymore. I bet many of them have said they want to live with Jon at one time or another and I bet she's threatened, bribed and guilted them every time they said it. I'm talking about the ones that she wasn't able to poison against him. You just know she's tried to turn them all against him. I just can't picture Cara not wanting a relationship with her dad, they were so close when she was young. I wonder what Kate has said against him. I guess Kate never learned the lesson that you need to love your kids more than you hate your ex. Edit: I just googled this story and there's a clip of the bitch on Dr. Oz, she's talking about how hard it is having an ex husband who doesn't see the value in uplifting his kids. I didn't watch the clip but it said she was referring to them doing the show. All she cares about is that fucking show. Why she hasn't been officially canceled is beyond my comprehension. Didn't she only have three episodes this time? Why don't they just cancel this shit once and for all so she has to find something else to do?

My daughter is the same. She's 33 but looks like she's 15. She and my son in law always got dirty looks when she was pregnant. In their family pictures they look like a dad with a teenager and two younger kids. She's walked into 21 and older places and without even asking her for her ID, they tell her no way, get out because they don't believe there's any way on hell she's 21. She's only 33 now and still hates looking so young but I tell her that one day she will love it and as you say, one day it will all catch up. Her voice on the phone sounds very young too, when she calls my granddaughter's school, unless she speaks to someone who knows her, they never believe that she's the mother of a student. I agree with you that Jinger will look young no matter what she does. My kid has tried all different kinds of hair styles and make up and nothing works.

To an atheist like me, this sounds like the funnest thing ever!! These Duggar threads always make me think "thank god I'm an atheist".

I guess the bloom is off the rose with mommy's favorite. She never tried to hide that Hannah was her favorite. It was always so obvious when she'd talk about the kids, and the way it was always Hannah who was on her lap or holding her hand while the others looked on. I'm an asshole but it made my day that it was Hannah who wanted to go with Jon.

It sounds like whichever daughter is is, she really, really wanted to go with her dad and Kate wouldn't let her. I hope it was Hannah, I can picture Kate screaming at her "but you're my favorite!!!!!"

My daughter was so nervous on her first day of high school that she dry heaved all the way there. Poor kid has a nervous stomach like her mama. My poor grandkids. My granddaughter is in fourth grade this year and she's been going to the same school since kindergarten. They live one town over from me but they went to school in my city. They got a special transfer that allows them to go to school in my city because my daughter and son in law both work in my city and I watch them after school. They went to get class assignments last week and my daughter was told that the school is full this year and since local residents have priority my grandkids can't go there anymore. My granddaughter was devastated. She's very sensitive and cried all day about her school and not being able to be with her friends. They started at the new school yesterday and my daughter and I texted each other all day, we were both so upset and nervous about my granddaughter being at a brand new school and not knowing even one person. We're both such wimps that we both cried over it. We counted the seconds until she could be picked up. All of that worrying for nothing. She did great and already made a new group of friends. I feel so old here. I'm only 52 but when you all talk about your babies and my babies are my grandkids, I feel ancient.

@Tatum, Blake can not be 2 already!!! It seems like it was just last week that we were congratulating you for having him! Your kids are both adorable. I had blondies too, their hair was so blonde that people accused me of bleaching it when they were young. Their hair darkened as they got older but when they were young they glowed in the dark. I have pictures of them with Jose Canseco holding them and their hair looks white. I need to find those pictures and try to post one of them here.

That's the exact same thing I have always said about Dave Navarro! Only thing is that Navarro is way too old for that shit. @LunaMia, I need to say a big thank you for correctly writing "bated" breath. I see "baited" so often and I always picture these people going fishing and using their breath as bait. It's nice to see it written in the correct way! Still no name for this kid huh? I guess Karl is now a member of the royal family.

That made me sick. It looked like she still had a half a big cup of wine and she already couldn't drive, I kept imagining if she hadn't been caught and had kept drinking it while she drove. Stupid bitch, I hope she was in jail for a long time.

He said to turn Drake off.

P@evilmindatwork, I'm sitting here with blurry, tear filled eyes reading about your dog. I'm so sorry that circumstances forced you to give up your baby. I know nothing will make it feel better but I'm thinking of you and I hope you can be reunited some day soon. (((((hugs)))))

@Lm2162, she's so beautiful. Is she your first baby?
