Back Atcha

I feel that I should disagree, but I'm not that confident. I don't see it, but I truly don't pay close attention. I might be too busy "enjoying" Sunny's jealousy of Alyssa. I'll make a special effort; I like your "tag team" observation. Haven't noticed it, but now I'll be wary. Or should that be "aware"?

Back to Whoopi in a minute. When I had mine done, both were "advised," but Medicare said one wasn't "bad enough yet" for their insurance to cover. So months later I had the second one done. It was great having only one GREAT eye. I could tell the difference in so many ways...just close/open the bad eye. That surgery was almost 20yrs ago; things have probably improved since then, but for me it was STILL a miracle. As for Whoopi, is she just ignorant about her eye surgery--her cataract(s) surgery? Is she vain? Is she just better than the rest of us and was born with a SPECIAL lens...and replaced with a SPECIAL lens? Inquiring minds, etc.

I don't know if Whoopi didn't understand the surgery she underwent or she doesn't want to say the word CATARACTS! Every time she explains that they "removed my lenses" and put in new ones, she's almost correct. If one Googles "what IS cataract surgery," they come up with this: cataract surgery is the only way to restore vision. The operation is straightforward and effective. It involves removing the clouded lens from the lens capsule and replacing it with an artificial one. A patient’s vision starts to return within a few hours of surgery. Did you notice? "removing the...lens." If Whoopi won't, I (not a medical professional), will diagnose her vision problem. She had cataracts for years. They were finally diagnosed...or her doctor found a way to "explain" the diagnosis that Whoopi would accept. Quick operation. It's a miracle! It's a miracle to most of us who had cataracts removed. Clearer, brighter vision. VOILA! P.S. Please tell Joy.

Time for Sunny to devote 100% of her time to her writing and to all those EVENTS she loves so much. Say buh-bye to The View. Something must be wrong at home; she's NOT a Happy Camper. There were many of us who haven't appreciated her for a long time; now she makes watching the show extremely difficult. Just another Mean Girl.

Same guys.

This is excellent...as is your entire post. Early on I gave Sunny a little "grace" for being new at the table. Then I bent a bit because she seemed SO NEEDY (and jealous...especially since Farah joined the table). More than a couple of years ago she wore out her welcome for me. Her NEED to "educate" us too often. We know, Sunny. We know... The celebrity "friends" she hangs with She was a PROSECUTOR or sex crimes Her family is Perfect in Every Way She owns and USES every product presented on View Your Deal (oh...and that she STOLE Gretta Monahans "delivery" of "Let's Get Shopping") Someone she admires needs to sit her down and explain BRAGGING...and, while they're at it...interrupting (especially Farah). Not intentionally, but she's finally showing that her perfect little family ain't so perfect; she can't control everyone.

Yes, Sue, you're absolutely correct. I'm usually better at this QUOTE stuff. So sorry. I've repeated blluegirl147's comment (and my comment) below. SO SORRY.------------------------------------ On 10/10/2024 at 8:17 AM, bluegirl147 said: Yesterday Sunny asked Whoopi if she would be OK with her grandchildren being atheists. She also said she wanted to marry a man who shared her faith because of morals and values. I got news for Sunny you can be an atheist and still have values and morals. She can practice her faith but she doesn't need to be so smug and judgmental about it. I find her more unlikable by the day. Then I (BackAtcha) get snotty in my response (hope these "repeats" aren't confusing): I agree, especially with your last sentence. Today's show (Friday) was a great example of "Resting Sunny Face." Judgmental "I was a prosecutor," can't accept that others' opinions are valuable and she needs to STOP interrupting. Some cameraperson must not like her; we catch "that look" much too often these days. She presented her sour look when ANYONE at the table tried to make a point that didn't focus on her "Black men" topic today. She was actually INSULTING to Sara--who can probably give it back but is too smart to do it on the air. Sunny presents an attitude that Sara is just some bubble-headed blonde. Her jealousy of everyone is palpable. I especially enjoy the attention and TV time Alyssa is getting on the news channels. She IS considered an expert by the experts. Sullen Sunny is NOT and her jealousy is obvious.

For several years, Sunny did NOT add that qualifier. She was morally adamant in her stance AND judgmental about anyone who did not share the "absolutely no abortion rule" 100%. I don't appreciate Whoopi much, but I think Whoopi kept nudging Sunny until she decided to present a more acceptable opinion. I'm not so sure she believes it. Those of us who went to Catholic schools...for eight years, twelve years, or longer had that guideline drummed into us all the time--at school, definitely. At home, probably. Some didn't question it...until they did.

If it's my post, I didn't say "houses." Any week I can watch a new episode of "Bargain Block," is a GOOD WEEK.

Too often restraining orders are withdrawn when the "victim" discovers she (it's usually a she) will suffer financial hardship in a divorce: property settlement, possible alimony, etc. Too often!

I think their TV contract calls for FIVE builds in New Orleans...then back to Detroit for FIVE.

Thank you SO MUCH. Any further comment belongs in Small Talk.

Production was probably egging them on, "More TONGUE, guys. This isn't 1955. We need GOOD TV! Yes, yes, yes! More tongue! and don't forget the word 'love.'"

I don't dislike Chock and--not only don't I watch each episode...I fast-forward through what I do watch. For me, he's a smooth salesman. He can sell anything: cars, stocks, timeshares, and (of course) himself. He's been successful enough financially that any sleeze slipped away some years ago. I think he's been an actor all his life. Like Golden Bachelor Gerry, we may not know the details until it's too late. Maybe he'll stumble a bit and he won't be chosen.

I have a long plate and several pins in that bone; seems sturdy and is "achy" now and then. Our weather doesn't get THAT cold, so its only "annoying" pain in the winter. The knee pain is worse than ever. Because they're afraid of malpractice suites, they (medical professionals) never apologize for anything.

OY! I've never looked up personal pages of any of these "CELEBRITIES." Direct us so we can peep. Thanks, Kendra. OY! It also makes him a social media ig-nernt idjut.

Here's my painful story. A few days after being released post-knee replacement, one of the "exercises" the physical therapist (I thought that's what she was) had me do was lie flat on my back. She sat on the table and "helped" stretch my leg straight up. I'm on my back and my leg is pointed at the ceiling. Then, she put her shoulder into my thigh and "lunged," pushing my leg farther back than it could go. That's the only way I can explain it. There was a loud C-R-A-C-K and I screamed, "My hip!" Everyone in the room heard the crack. PT says, "Oh, so your hip hurts too?" It was not "hurt," it was excruciating PAIN. I said, "Not until you broke it." My hip wasn't hurt at all, my femur was broken...badly, and (apparently) shockingly. Thereafter I was corrected, "She was not a physical therapist; SHE WAS AN AIDE!"

I thought if I left this emoji 😀, it would be misunderstood. Your last line is the best! That humor will keep you going. I had a hip replacement in 2018 that was/is a breeze. Turns out, I didn't NEED it. They diagnosed "labral tear" as the source of my incredible pain. Hip replaced, easy PT, easy recuperation. Pain remaines! A couple of other worthless procedures followed. My best story is my knee replacement (2016...still terribly painful; I wear an opiod patch). I assume the surgery went well. I was out of the hospital and going to physical therapy, using a walker. To shorten the story, a physical therapy aide BROKE MY FEMUR! Mis-diagnoses (no x-rays) for over a week--sent to rehab for eight days. Awful pain; no x-rays, although I begged. Soon my sons threatened legal action. Finally, an x-ray proved them all wrong. Surgeon said, "How can you have a BROKEN FEMUR????" and now I have a plate/pins in my thigh (femur) along with a really bad knee. Humor is my only antidote.

Sorry for the bolding; it's necessary. I feel Gold Digger Kim is putting out feelers for some sort of stand-alone show, due to her increasing popularity. A fabulous wedding show? Hilarious!!! Perhaps a crossover like, "Say Yes to the Dress"? Give us a break! No, Kim...we're not interested in your future wedding plans--your ANY future plans. If this lame show is continued, you are the FIRST ONE who needs to be told, "No extended or new contract, Honey." P.S. Ken seems like a nice guy; is he truly that desperate?

Since I'm WAY overweight, I feel I can make this small addition without too much recrimination. "...like someone less than half her age, 60 pounds lighter, and...." (I need to lose a mere 50)

Sounds like he's hanging out with teenage girls.

Time, medical procedures, cosmetic surgeries, and hormone-hormone-hormone therapies have taken a toll on that poor kid. After seeing this photo online, I actually hope he's no longer performing. Oh, Hip...this is too sad--and I think it's real. Hopefully someone can prove it's not.

Speaking of band, I really enjoyed seeing Kim join in when the family was singing "Keep on the Sunny Side ." Like join in--haha! She stood there with her (borrowed?) guitar pretending to know the bass line. She didn't even try to fake it...just stood there. She's going out of her way to STAY ON TV, but does only the manipulations. No clue how to act like an empathatic human and mother. I still say her hair is nice. Now to Ethan. I don't think of him as a liar, but I believe he lied when he said Olivia told him he couldn't sing (something like that). I think she's kinder than that. I'm a "good enough" singer. From childhood I was in trios, duets, singing groups, and choirs. That said, I'm an asset only to a group. My voice isn't good enough to be a lead. No one has told me that; it's something I figured out when hearing very GOOD altos standing right next to me. I wasn't a shy performer; so it's not that. Ethan might be in the same boat--but doesn't know his limits. He is NOT a good solo singer (can he be trained?). He might need a group to help him keep good time and pitch (I'd have to pay more attention). His bass is probably an asset; BUT, his attempt to sing "too low" shows that his voice isn't even attractive.
