That sounds like mental illness to me.

Yes, unfortunately I have. It's a chest CT scan, which is an x-ray..

And headless mannequins and 1000 white lights. She was twrling more than Kendra. Instead of hearing Luann and Heather sing, why didn't we get to see something interesting. Like food. Were there fritters or a jambalaya to go along with the theme? I didn't see a single voodoo doll. Singing and speeches bore me. Bring me food.

Ahn treh preh nuh. It doesn't rhyme with 'manure'. That's an American mispronunciation.

Word on the street is that she was pregnant and Mario graciously sprung for an abortion.

I can buy this. I don't think George Clooney gives a crap enough about this RHONY reality TV chick to refute her claims. Nor do I think the Kennedys or the Bessettes care enough about her to refute her claims about being Carolyn's bff. We only have Carole's word for it and I don't believe her.

Her blogs are always mean spirited. She doesn't bother me on the show as I find her just as unremarkable as her blogs and book. I thought she was passionless in her marriage based on, "What Remains". She is bland yet tries very hard not to be. It must have been difficult as an extended member of the Kennedy clan. Trying to keep up with those shiny people must've been hard for her.

Have you ever noticed her hands? They are very...'capable' looking too.

My extreme dislike for Bethenny has nothing to do with her getting a divorce and everything to do with the shrillness of her voice, her trashy behavior and bagging on her mother ad nauseum. She ruined Martha Stewart's Apprentice for me. I've loved to hate Bethenny for a long time now. Her behavior during the divorce is just par for the course.

I think it has more to do with her excellent note-taking during long evenings spent with her cherished 'Sex and the City' DVD collection.

I agree, mostly, but I absolutely think Kristen was correct in being proactive regarding Kingsley not walking by 18 months. Especially if she wasn't even showing interest in cruising by holding onto objects yet (which we don't know). Kristen has the time and money to pursue therapy so I'm glad she did. I imagine if she was shown as having a very lackadaisical attitude about her daughter not walking, there'd have been a whole passel of people crying foul. Me leading the posse! LOL The way Kingsley was scooting with her leg/hip/ankle turned inward could have caused problems later if therapy hadn't taught Kristen and Josh how to stretch and exercise her leg and hip flexors. That's possibly why we see Kristen carrying her, as a short break for all the scooting. If Kingsley was scooting like that as her primary way of getting around all day for months, she needed to have those muscles manipulated so they didn't affect her gait once she started walking. The type of therapy K was getting wasn't just to help her walk but to rehabilitate any bones or muscles that could potentially have been harmed by the atypical way they were being used. That said, I think Josh is a tool. But he wouldn't be the first father who handles the diagnosis or care of a child with special needs much differently than the mother. Recent pictures show Kingsley is walking so it's all good!

Without knowing if Kingsley has other developmental delays, it's impossible to say that she doesn't have a 'condition' or that she is perfectly normal. Had my children shown any signs of progressing 'slower than the curve' I would have most certainly had them evaluated, tout de suite, and followed up with therapies as prescribed. Because I can and because when it comes to kids, especially little ones, I always err on the side of caution. That's usually what the first session/evaluation of rehabilitative therapy is like - whether speech therapy, physical therapy or occupational - just to observe if the caregiver is willing and able to help with therapies or if the caregiver is the REASON for the child needing therapy. If it continued like that in subsequent sessions, I hope you found a new therapist because that one wasn't doing their job.

That. Was a mess. Heather reminds me of a potato. Blobby, is the wrong word - and I'm not necessarily referring to her body - but there's just no definition, nothing defining, anywhere on her. Even when looking at her face, all I see is potato. Ramona = squirrel. Carole = turtle. Kristen = colt. Heather = potato. She had on great sunglasses at the park, though.

I agree but if I had to choose between the unpleasantness that is Aviva vs.the unpleasantness that is Josh and Ramona, I'd pick Aviva. Josh is too much of a condescending dickhead and Ramona is such a shrill liar I have to mute the TV every time she has a scene. Aviva's dad can go away, though.

I agree. This goes for all of them. Aviva probably isn't that crazy, Kristen and Heather probably really aren't this cool, Carole isn't as assy as she's coming off. They've all become caricatures to maintain a story line so they can keep their J.O.Bees. After seeing the news footage, 30 times this week of the Barnum and Baily acrobats tumbling to the ground, I have no desire to ever try aerial yoga. Or anything that requires hanging from the ceiling in a piece of fabric. Ramona and Heather are so bitchy. Ramona takes the cake with her constant complaining and now assault but Heather is so fucking antagonistic - you can tell she just loves winding Ramona up. She was horrible at the dinner party she hosted. She and Ramona can't get along because they are so alike. Loud, bossy and combative.
