If someone was unjustly banned, they wouldn’t want to come back, so why upset the apple cart? That’s their prerogative.

Walnut queen was one of the people I was thinking of.
No, I don’t think so. Not familiar to me. It’s been a long time. Maybe “Star something?

For months during the fall and winter, my hands were peeling and were chronically dry. Even the prescription cream I got wasn't working. I thought about it, switched soaps and BINGO, things began to get better! Funny thing is this: My shower gel is from the same brand as the hand soap and it hasn't affected me. Must be something specifically in the foaming soap that was giving me issues!
Yes, probably. There are new ingredients in laundry soaps also and people are feeling the difference. It’s good you did your own investigating.

Kristen, Olivia's summons is for jury duty. It's probably the initial questionnaire that they send, which you have to fill out and then send back. There may be a way to do it online, but I'm not sure.
Also, it's been a while since all of the NYC boroughs have had a 25 mph speed limit, regardless of school zones. My dear, late father-in-law lived in Flatbush, Brooklyn, which is sort of in the middle of the borough: as in when you exit the parkway, you have to drive quite the distance on the streets to reach his home. It was pure torture doing only 25 mph and getting stopped at almost every traffic light.
Oh, I didn’t know Olivia had a jury duty summons.
We hadn’t been in Queens by car for about twenty years. Yikes.

Is there any way to respond to the summons online?
Yes. It’s on the summons. We just got a speeding ticket on a Sunday in Queens NY. We were riding 37 mph in a 25 mph school zone on a SUNDAY. I did it on line.$50 bucks.

Yes. Lots of new names lately, especially.

It’s good to have a buddy on the thread. Someone who can relay a message should something good or not good happen. Being we all know each other for years. I’m wondering about a few from years ago who just disappeared. They were staples on the thread .. then poof. Some change their names too.
I was good friends with Reality Police and the poster who had a Dragon icon. One day they were gone. I was so upset. So many that were nice .. then gone overnight. I hope those that live alone have a buddy. Like some I won’t mention names.

I miss watching things like The Closer, with my mum. I was just saying yesterday, I miss going downstairs and her being somewhere there. After she lost her business in the crash in 2007, she would come upstairs in the middle of the night, when she couldn’t sleep. I knew about one of those dodgy sites to watch shows on - I think that was one of them, in 2008 - and one had The Closer, and that’s where she started to watch it. We then DVR’d the rest, every season. Same with Medium, Burn Notice, etc.
when I was a teenager, we watched the English shows on PBS, as a family. I can’t watch them anymore. We used to share books, too.
Chicricket knows my discord name, and that’s my instagram, too.
I LOVED the Closer. Plus anything detective.

I was there about 5 years ago. Then I tried using tampons to slow it down and that worked for a while. Now I have to wear pads. I use Always pads because the minute I stand up, if I have to go, I'm already going. I still get up at night because no matter what they claim, you're not going to continue with the same pad after it gets wet, that simply does not work. I felt bad about it at first but then I remembered that I have been putting pads and plugs down there since I was about eleven. The joys of being a woman.
The Urologist says it’s all normal and these lovely things come with age. Yeah, right.

I've wondered about some posters too. There's one who used to be around here a lot, but she disappeared some time in the new year. I hope she's okay.

So many people going to Ireland, etc. this summer. Anyone ever watch the movie “Leap Year”? A very cute movie starring Amy Adams. Beautiful views of Ireland . It could be on Netflix or Prime video, etc. A feel good romantic comedy. Another one I watched today about Italy. “Only You” starring Marissa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr. Beautiful views of the Amalfi Coast and Rome.

I also get bummed when regulars disappear. I always hope they're alright and just got busy. If you're someone whose posts I regularly like and get a new name for some reason, please message me to let me know! There was someone who did that awhile back (not revealing who it was), and I really appreciated that she considered me her virtual friend and said hello. I knew to keep an eye out for her posts. :)
Aw you're a sweetie and most people here are nice, but I've experienced when someone has been uh strong with me shall we say. It makes me sad if someone left because they felt unwelcome. I think sometimes people don't realize how harsh they can be and forget the person whose posts they're picking apart could very well be a kid, someone from a totally different generation, culture, etc. I guess it's asking a lot to make a forum feel like a safe space for everyone.
I just try to appreciate all the kind folks and not let the occasional not so kind person get to me. I don't know what people get from being mean to strangers on the internet. I guess they can't possibly be living happy lives, not that it's an excuse. When I'm sad I might vent here, but I'd never want to hurt anyone's feelings, not intentionally.
Everyone should be like you. Respectful and nice. A pleasure to be around. ❤️

I hope those people are okay as well. Perhaps they were having some other things going on. I wasn't posting much lately mainly because I have had various health issues that don't seem to be totally resolved yet. Since February I've had serious balance issues when walking mainly and no one seems to be sure yet why. It's put a lot of plans I had on hold at the moment. I do have a session with a vestibular therapist scheduled so will see if that helps.
On another note entirely, has anyone here had a crown fall out of their mouth? On a weekend?? Fortunately I was able to reach my dentist's office and they relayed this to him and they said to call him first thing Monday so he could fit me in. And here I have always told people what great luck I've had with my teeth. I literally cannot remember the last time I had even a filling done. So I am sure this crown is very old but I did clean it off and put in in a little baggie. I hope they can re-attach it but if not at least I'm fortunately not in any pain, I just have some sensitivity. They said I could eat on the other side of my mouth but I'm afraid of anything crunchy. So I have to think of a soft food for one more night. Maybe some polenta?
I had that balance thing once. It turned out to be a “ middle ear infection”. Antibiotics put my balance back in order.

We're having the most gorgeous weather so it's difficult for me to come up with a peeve. I can barely walk or control my bladder anymore so I guess those are mine.
What do you mean exactly? If you don’t mind. At a certain age, I think we all have some problems, unfortunately. I never get a good nights sleep anymore.

Re: regular posters who "disappear" I remember all the delicious foods someone described making...every day, it seemed. And then, presto! She was gone.
Lately, so many regular Posters have gone. Maybe under a different name? I could use some new recipes. I’m making the same things week after week.

Maybe they were disrespected or bullied, got disgusted, then left?

I get contact dermatitis from lots of things. I paint the underside with clear nail polish. Sometimes two coats. Skin rash and itching gone.
Speaking of … My poor Son in law has been itching and rash here n there all over his body since before Christmas. He hasn’t torrent a good nights sleep since. Sometimes, his eyes blow up and itch also. He’s been to 3 Dermatologists. Now, has to go to an Algerist. What could it be? Not eating or touching anything out of the ordinary. Maybe the Covid shots I’m thinking? What could it be all of a sudden. He hasn’t gotten a good nights sleep for months. I feel so bad. @Mindthinkrpls pm me if you have any idea what it could be. You are a Nurse after all. These doctors just give him different creams.

I was wondering why none of the women even bothered asking the farmer about what her day to day life would be like. Some of the farms are hours away from anything so if you are a professional like a nurse or a teacher or whatever and want to keep working how would that work, is the woman supposed to just give up her career? I would want to know what my duties would be as a farmers wife, like I am driving a tractor, harvesting fruit or branding cattle, so many questions that these women are not asking.
So all these farmers have houses full of women and not one woman says anything about how they all have to share a bathroom, who is cleaning since the make up and hair have got to be everywhere, lol.
Not one woman is baking a pie or making a cake for any of the farmers...the way to a man's heart, etc...
I didn't think the families helped any of the farmers figure out who they should pick, it was just another level of confusion.
I have a cousin who is currently being vetted for a dating show, it is such a lengthy process I cannot imagine going thru all of that if you really are not in it to win it, most of these women seem like they just want to be on TV.
You are 1000 % right. They show these girls sitting around all day drinking coffee. So unrealistic. Then they show some of them shoveling crap and mending fences. I didn’t need to see the cows getting their ears tagged either. These women seem accomplished . Probably here for exposure. Nothing else.

Gerry didn't wait 3 months after his wife died to find someone.
He had another girlfriend while his wife was still alive.
Wife passed, and he broke up with the girlfriend, became America's favorite weeping widower, and fooled us all.
WOW ! Didn’t know that.

Shocker.
I’m feeling more and more sorry for Teresa. I think she was duped. She looked so desperate to have him and now her marriage is over. He will get over this quickly, like when his wife died. Who looks for a woman 3 months after his wife dies?

We have that function with Dish (although it doesn't flash, just displays the number in a box on-screen). If it's available from your provider, you might be able to set it up by going into the Settings menu and looking around. Or of course you could call tech support (my version of hell on earth) and ask them. It's really helpful to have.
My tv flashes the name of the person or company with their phone number. Then we decide if we want to pick up or let it go to voicemail on the answering machine. Nice feature. Optimum.

Maybe I’m just a cynic but I think Gerry wanted to spend Teresa’s money traveling and having fun. When he realized it wasn’t going to be champagne wishes and caviar dreams he wanted out. It wasn’t a love match for him, it was a bank account dream.
And I’m sorry but both these fools didn’t discuss ANY OF THIS before they ran down the aisle. C’mon? They were more concerned with picking out their Amazon gift registry and what dress she would wear rather than “where will we live” “who will fund our lifestyle”, “Will we continue to work”. They both have egg on their faces and it’s just sad that two supposedly mature people didn’t think 5 minutes beyond the fantastical wedding that ABC paid for. I have no sympathy for either.
Someone PLEASE tell me Teresa had a Pre Nup. That’s all I care about. She’s supposed to be so smart. I hope I never see Kathy, Susan, Leslie and Faith on my tv again. They had enough publicity. What makes them so special?

For those that watched live, the two hour spectacle had nothing useful for the first hour and fifteen minutes. They made the bride wait her walk down the aisle for ten commercials, after the bridal party and the groom were already in place.
This was great for their advertisers, but I honestly wish I'd recorded and watched later, to fast forward through all the nonsense. Much time was wasted on stuff I had no interest in.
There are rhymes and reasons for the dress they chose, but she'd've been much better off in a slim cocktail length dress that would've been easier to navigate.
With a short jacket.
Chit-Chat: What's On Your Mind Today?

Apparently, they pick n choose, so it’s a crap shoot. Once I was banned unjustly, and it was a bitch to get back. It took a whole week to get back on. Some very nice Mod took the time to help me. She was super nice and I will never forget her. “TurtlePower” sounds very familiar. ??????
