Delta Blow

This, Jessica and Katie, this is love and marriage.

Reid blah blah blah ABsolutely blah blah Casa Reid blah blah blah Reid blah blah blah Mrs Reid blah blah blah ABsolutely blah blah blah mistakes Reid ABsolute garbage. Reid.

I believe it’s called The Broom-Broom Room.

I live in the LA suburbs in an older neighborhood (houses built in 20s, 30s, and 40s). My neighborhood has shifted drastically in the last few years—gentrification has swept through and housing has skyrocketed. Luxury condos are going up right and left in spots in LA previously unthinkable to certain people. Tiny houses (1000sq ft) in my neighborhood are 600-700Kand rents are $2400 for said houses. All of that, and my car was broken into in my driveway last week, and homeless people are squatting in empty houses and bathing with hoses in neighbors’ yards. I don’t know how younger people do it...

I agree that this could be a piece of it for Meka. She hasn’t been the initial self we saw. I have very curly hair, and grew up in the 70s and 80s; my mother had no idea how to manage it whatsoever, so...comments were made... All I ever wanted was the straight hair everyone else had. As an adult, I’ve straightened my hair once. I felt so strange and outside of myself that I cried for days, and eventually just cut it off. Many years later, I lost my hair to chemo; wigs just didn’t work for me. I advocated for my students to be able to wear headscarves as part of dress code, when I saw firsthand how some girls shut down over hair. Hair is deep.

My crystal ball sees the future of that Mrs Reid pendant—I see it lost in the garbage among the photos and mementos of Amber and Matt’s marriage, and maybe stuck in an old wax melt.

Katie has that Audrina speech pattern. Basic Audrina.

Implants after mastectomy is reconstruction of a body part, not augmentation, a free boob-job, and not vanity. It’s replacing something natural to the body shape that was removed, and thus disfiguring. What Jasmine has done is disfigured herself.

Waltons. Michael Learned. Karen Grassle was Caroline Ingalls. But Tony is still full of shit.

There you go again @Pepper Mostly! Bringing the fine literature references on over to Love After Lockup—you kill me too!

I can see it. He kind of has the personality of a machine or drone.

Alex can miss me with his bullshit concerns/gaslighting Glorietta about the women coming on to him in bars. Bruh, come on. You rough. Also, if Glo isn’t acting, she needs really needs psych help—she’s 2 seconds away from becoming Morello in OITNB, but not a bit endearing like Morello...

Maybe Amy could’ve gotten them a deal.

Tony has a type.

Throwback! Idyllic Claremont has the best apples! I mean, people come fucking miles for them apples! Thank you. It was a revelation, and I was surprised it was available!

@Pepper Mostly and I believe it was also you who referenced the Shirley Jackson story, “The Lottery,” in Live Chat recently. I love this forum. Let no one say this group is not cultured—fine music, fine literature, garbage tv—you are my people.

Why yes, yes she does. And she thinks the same thing works with every person. She is exactly the same with Tom as Jesse, and they are vastly different men.

Right?! I don’t know why they would bother. It’s boring af. It’s pointless. “This is a REAL MARRIAGE,” as they keep reminding us. With real EXPERTS! Now they can’t have us laughing at the experts decisions... Let’s face it—Ashley + Anthony and Danielle + Bobby are nice enough people, and I’m sure their friends and family enjoy them immensely, but if I met them at a BBQ, I’d probably push on to the next group after five or ten minutes. Compelling, engaging, entertaining—none of these words apply.

I know, right?! And even when he does get out, I don’t know how long parole is or what the rules are, but I’m somehow not seeing Machu Picchu on LaMondre’s Insta anytime soon. Even if he has no stipulations, still not seeing it.

This is going to sound ridiculous, and I feel ridiculous writing it, but Shane has a very nice way with people. He keeps telling Lacey he wants to know more about her, makes friendly (not creepy) eye contact, isn’t smarmy or smug, doesn’t have that career criminal user attitude like Amber, was earnest with her friend—just seems to sort of have good, country manners. I guess what I’m trying to say is, he’s not a Matt, and maybe the difference is that he’s not a methie. Still, malicious wounding. Nope.

I think he was soft-pedaling, but more out of keeping peace and maybe a little bit of fear. He also also knows, or should know, that Fidel already knows exactly why Akinyi is upset. Fidel is toying with him, and if there wasn’t such a low-key menacing vibe to Fidel, it would be amusing to see how someone like Benjamin would handle this little sitch. Appears Ben has a type, and this has led him to Kenya—that said, he is definitely leading with his dick because for all his love of African women, he is beneath his depth in his understanding of family and culture beyond, “I need their approval.” He gets what he deserves—and I hope it’s basically a safe trip home to lick his wounds and try local.

Tom is chav af.

I choose a ham sandwich over both. And I don't like meat. And I would 55% choose Jesse over Tom, and I don’t eat ham, but I love a corned beef sandwich. This is officially my favorite collaboration of all time, including my professional career.

Raven is forever friend-zoned. Such a pity as he seems like a decent kid. Working with teens, I see Ravens tossed to the side, and crushed to smithereens daily for Matts.

And start talking fucking about it!
