@bilgistic They once sent me some kind of glue when I had ordered those yellow replacement parts to go into my hummingbird feeder. They wanted the glue returned. I told them I was not considering leaving my house to find a UPS to ship it back on my dime. They said no worries. They told me to leave it outside my front door on a certain day and they arranged for UPS to pick it up, package it, and mail it back while expediting what I did order to me. I felt bad for the UPS guy as he had to do all the work so I left him a gift card for some local (Jersey Mike’s) sandwich shop for his time and inconvenience. He was so happy with me that he gave me a “code” knock so that anytime he delivers I know he has come because I hear that special knock. Next time tell them you want that option.
I told that story to my Son who was an UPS Driver for many years until he got a spine problem from lifting those heavy things. Nobody knows what they endure everyday. He had daily over 200 stops, rain, sleet, snow, no air conditioning. Drivers throw up. It’s the hardest job ever. You did a wonderful thing for him and he won’t forget your kindness. 👍

Erika was claiming she didn't know how to make a deposit at the bank. Where did she get the cash that she was depositing? It must've been left over from all that cash that Tom had lying around that he gave her her spending money from. lol
It was probably from the settlements in cash which is either in a safety deposit box or in Switzerland or hidden somewhere. Her Effie face and that fake crying is Effie annoying, but most of all, those stupid women are all over her, except Darcelle who has her number. If any of them annoy her, she threatens them. Get off the show already. I don’t believe there’s anything wrong with Tom either.

feel like Myrla brought two sets of night clothes depending on how she feels about her new husband. The lumberjack signaled no way.
After that lumberjack scene, I went on line and ordered a pretty short silk wrap to wear around the bedroom. What happened to the beautiful sets brides wore on their honeymoon and thereafter?

Change her name? Not on this shitshow with its track record of failed marriages. No fast answer to that question, sport. Heh, they’re so doomed for so many reasons. But call me, Gill. Let’s just say retirement means I don’t need—buy—the designer shoes, bags and outfits anymore.🤣🤣😉
Eh .. I have those designer bags with the heavy metal in my closet that everyone had to have. Waste. Now I’m at Vera Bradley crossovers that are very light and hold just enough that you need. Now all the Kelly bags are the rage. I’m over it all, being old.

As usual, when Erica's facade falls off, she is one nasty piece of work.
I didn’t know she was this stupid to cry and blab everythingshe won’t even remember. I also don’t remember her being so chummy with all the girls and talking anything about her marriage. Was she constantly going to lunch and gathering with the girls this much when married to Tom. It’s so obvious that she filed for divorce exactly when he got in trouble. What other family? She said they had take out every night all during Covid. Liar, liar .. pants on fire.

I have a huge crush on Johnny. That's all. His timid "I really, really like you" in the previews...swoon. What a wholesome man. I hope Bao can ease up on her rules a little. The scene where he was happily helping her take out her hair pins was such an underrated moment of intimacy.
I still remember vividly my husband taking out my 100 hair pins in the bed. That was the day when brides wore hair up in all big curls. Now, I make him softly scratch my head until his hand gets numb, lol.

Myrla didn't know what her groom would look like or be. She walked to the altar as Marilyn Monroe, but after meeting Gil the Bald, Pitbull Owner, she went to bed as Doris Day.
(I'm as old as my allusions. That's how I roll.)
Get the popcorn ready. Wait until she meets the Pitt Bull. I’ll need a chocolate shake with that.

Ughhhh…I could not help but notice that both Brett’s and Ryan’s table manners left a bit to be desired. Just after Brett exhibited the lousy table manners you noted above, Ryan stuck his fingers in his mouth and pulled something out that I assume he simply did not want to swallow and then presumably put the partially chewed morsel back on his plate. Yuck yuck yuck. Yuck yuck yuck. That ranks waaaay up there on my faux pas list. Jeez…if he absolutely just had to do that, at least he could have turned his head away, covered his mouth with his napkin and discreetly put the inedible item into the napkin (without using his hands/fingers…yuck!) and folded it into the napkin and tucked it away (without looking at it!).
I think the producers love to show clips of stuff like this. They say so much without anyone saying a single word.
I finally realized this about Production. Everything happens on purpose, and here we all are arguing with each other.

Trying to word this properly.
No one has a right to be touched or expected to have sex without consent. Dressing as Myrla did for the wedding doesn’t give anyone permission to unwillingly touch her in any way.
However, i am indeed surprised at people who feel the need to wear lumberjack flannel pajamas on their wedding night, and refuse their new husband the traditional kiss, but feel it’s fine that the strange man and his family and friends and the viewing audience get to see all she has in physical attributes.
It just doesn’t seem logical to me. I am a private person, and don’t want to participate in outlandish things like a stripper batchlorette party either. My wedding dress had a sweetheart satin bodice, skirt - and a lace overlay that had a normal collar and lace sleeves. I try to dress so that people I don’t want to touch me also don’t get to ogle me. That would have seemed more of Myrla’s desired dress to me.
I am exactly the same way. Besides, it’s only Day one. There are many things to work out. I don’t get the “no kissing” thing tho. A quick kiss would have been very appropriate to end a beautiful day and create a memory.

Why does Myrla’s and Gils’ differences in money handling and income matter? Why does her spending her own money on herself matter?
Because a marriage is supposed to be a partnership not just two people sharing a bed. That’s a fling.
If she is the major income, then she is going to have to contribute more than half of the shared income to get the house and lifestyle she wants with Gil. If he can’t pay half of an international trip, then is she going by herself? If he can’t pay half of a McMansion in Houston, are they going to live separately? What about after kids - will one of them stay home? If it is Gil, will she share her income if it means she can’t buy her designer clothing? If she stays home, can she handle the reduction in income and therefore in designer clothes?Many women can marry someone whose income is less because they understand it’s a partnership and income is to be shared, even if your lifestyle then decreases. Myrla has no intention of sharing her income with her husband or children. Gil will be expected to provide everything so that she can spend all her money on herself.
That is why her spending matters.This was a perfect summation. It says what marriage is about. If she decides to be a SAHM, the bills will all fall on him. What then? She will buy sneakers for the kids before designer shoes for herself. In some states, Firemen don’t make that much. They depend on overtime. We would have loved to travel to Europe, but three college tuitions came first. In some houses, that’s the way it goes, and we both worked. Mylah is thinking of now, not the future.

I was going to rewind to get it exactly right, but I forgot. At one point he described himself as something like "less than 6 feet" and I about died.
What puts me off more than anything is that every time he describes his idealized partner, he doesn't say "woman"; it's always "perfect woman." Ugh.
It did not help to have a gigantic officiant.
Rachel was a teeny bit taller than him, but I assume it was because she was wearing heels. I wondered how that could have been avoided, so the couple would look "better" in the pictures, but I really don't think a producer advising her that she might want to wear flats would fill her with glee.
Is that a 5'8" with a ruler, or do we need to apply the conversion chart? 😀
Just joshing. I agree with you, except for the "when I wear heels thing" because it shouldn't matter in any circumstance (which is why I put "better" in quotes, above).
I'm a 5'6" female and had a long-term relationship with a guy who was about an inch shorter than I was, so he was empirically short. It didn't bother me (obviously), but it was something that I noticed, but only because that's what society dictates. Normally I'd say, "Who cares?" but the answer would be, "A lot of people."
That said, there are lots of men who would never date a woman who's taller than them, so it does run both ways. And even I notice it when there's a woman towering over her man; it turns out I admire it, but it distresses me that I can't not notice it.
I'm going to criticize Ryan on that one. That was no place to try to teach someone to two-step. When she said she didn't know how, he should have just done the eighth-grade awkward sway that everybody else does.
There are men who can lead so well that the partner pretty much has no choice but to follow, but they are very very rare and Ryan obviously isn't one of them. So just sway. Although I can't get over the number of men who, knowing they're going to have to dance in front of everybody, don't even find out the traditional position, with their left hand out, so it looks more like a dance than a junior high grope.
I'm not so sure I've concluded that she doesn't get any personal professional development out of her job, but even if that's the case, so what? I'd say she's lucky, because millions of people have jobs where the only thing they get out of it is the ability to spend a little bit of money.
True about the money. In this day and age lots of couples have their own money and split things. In my house we pool the money. What’s his is mine, what’s mine is his. In the beginning, we didn’t have enough to be frivolous. Buying a house, a car, kids. We couldn’t be frivolous. No designer things for me. Now, it’s different. She might make more than him. It’s only the beginning, so they will work things out hopefully.

I believe Tom cheated and talked to her like she’s an employee for years after the bloom fell from their relationship. I also think she put up with it because she was getting what she wanted-her ‘career.’ When she saw what was coming for him legally, she kicked into self-preservation and bailed. At first, using this ‘cheating/he’s mean’ stuff to make herself the victim. However, someone must have gotten in her ear and said-support this dementia narrative and we’ll make it worth your while/protect you financially. She agreed, not realizing it would now make her look like a cold, heartless bitch who dumped her husband the minute he needed her the most. And she’s not capable of carrying that weight under scrutiny, regrets it, and is starting to crack. I don’t know. So many lies. But the first time her tears seemed real was last night.
She cried and sobbed because she tripped up and is standing in the fire now. When she lies, she’s forgetting what she said. I hate when she threatens them. She reminds me of a gangster. She’s sooo scary she thinks and they let her get away with it. Who the hell is she that they should be afraid of her. Maybe she knows too much about them and they are afraid she will spill the beans about them.

I am laughing so hard. Erika keeps saying she knows nothing. Hahaha. We are not dimwits. She never went to the bank. He gave her CASH.
It is sickening how they are all over her, crying with her and comforting her. Was Erika this talkative and loving towards them when she was living the high life?
Lisa wearing those stupid hats as she couldn’t have her hair done. She can’t wash it in the shower?
you know you’re rich when you don’t know where your houses are.
I don’t know how Erika keeps her stories straight. She got busted when Garcelle asked her where and how the money was given to her. She doesn’t know how to answer. She keeps stalling and licking her lips wanting to smash Garcelle face in. She’s talking in that monotone voice. Funny. Bad actress.

Don’t we all, haha. The dress, the dress, the dress. She even asked Gil about her dress. I liked Michaelinas dress better. It looked like a wedding gown.

Anyhow, as I was saying, Myrla is very self centered. No kiss at anytime? Is she the next Virgin Mary? Not with that enticing dress she isn’t. Kisses on the cheek. Insulting. Did she even ask Gil about his job? Did she compliment him on saving lives? Everything is about her it looks like. Those pajamas didn’t look her type.
Brett .. I loved her emerald ring, bracelet and emerald shoes. The flowers also complimented her hair. I think he is pleased with her. I love this show, especially after last season. There was more, but my post went into space.

Marla couldn’t even give Gil a little kiss, but she could entice him with the boobs hanging out. It doesn’t gel. Tease, then pull back?

After last seasons disaster, so far I’m liking all of them. I’m sure things will change tho. I’m surprised they are all eating. We didn’t eat a thing at our wedding. Nerves I guess.

Pet Peeves: Aka Things That Make You Go "Gah!"
in Everything Else
I know exactly what you mean. Besides needing a second back fusion, I have had sciatic leg pain for four weeks now. Worse pain than labor. Had about 20 epidural steroid shots yesterday near my spine. Not working yet. Sorry for being a downer. I feel for you too.
