On Hoda & Jenna today, they said Kathy Lee Gifford would be a great choice for the Golden Bachelorette.
Oh Nooooo. Had enough of her with Regis. Yuk.

I am in Collingswood/ Cherry Hill area. Right across the bridge from Philadelphia PA. I haven't ever seen any of the Housewives, but they are in North Jersey aren't they?
I have a feeling that we will be hearing updates on Gerry & Theresa in future months. It just feels like viewers are more interested in them, than in the usual Bachelor franchise couple that breaks up. I know I am.
I think they are in N. Jersey. Not sure. I’m only familiar with Rt. 80 going to Pa. I’m going to ask my I pad when Jersey housewives start. It starts on May 5, 2024. Goody. Lol

I think Teresa (Giudice) and Louie are doing fine, because he love bombs her and pays her all the attention that that narcissist craves.
Gerry, our Golden Bachelor, is much like Teresa G., in that he needs a woman to fall all over him, which Teresa Nist did.
I'm in this age range (62) and divorced, so I DVR'd every episode. I've been single a long time and dated a ton, and let me tell you, there are a million Gerry's out there.
I recently had a date with a guy (64). We met at an event, but he has a dating profile, so I was able to read it. I didn't go on a 2nd date with him, as something felt "off". He had me Uber, one hour, to get to his side of town, for a drink and some appetizers. When I suggested a place in between us, he eschewed that suggestion. I could just tell, that he was a "my way" kind of guy.
So, in viewing this guy's dating profile, the first sentence caught me: "I'm looking for someone who is interested in me and wants to know more about me. That impresses me".
So, this guy is primarily looking for someone who wants to cater to him, ask about him, want to please him. No mention of him garnering interest in a woman.
That's Gerry to a tee.
Well, Teresa Gudice loves sex, so there you go. They both are getting what they want. Plus, the money keeps rolling in. You are still young. Your Prince will come. There are still some good men out there to pick you up in their car, like a gentleman. That Uber story was tacky. 🥰

I think all secrets come out eventually. When there are lots of people who know the inside scoop, like here, info will start worming through the cracks! This is the fun of it all!
I live in NJ and I don't know where Theresa is. I gagged at the thought that they would want to settle here. NJ is such an expensive place to live. It's not that beautiful either, overall.
I’m your neighbor. I live on Long Island. Dying to know what really happened. I think Teresa was genuine about everything. I think he as a scam artist, and she found out. Keep us posted. Are you near the Jersey housewives? Can’t wait for them to start. I don’t know when.
7 minutes ago, Starlight925 said:Seems like Teresa was ready to either fully retire or work remotely, as they spent a lot of time looking at a lot of homes in Charleston.
The internet rumor now is that when financing and credit ratings came up, Gerry's financial lies came out. Which is when T realized he was looking for the proverbial "purse" in her.
Add to the fact that, as distasteful as I find him, he's been getting hit on by thousands of attractive women all over the country. Kid meet candy store.
Oh Good Lord. How can women be so stupid? Talk about stupid. How are Teresa and Louie doing I wonder. That’s another story.

There are Auntie Karens in all cultures. With apologies to people who have Aunt Karens they absolutely love.
Well, I was married at 22. What did I know? I did what my family did. We all pitched in and helped one another. One thing I love tho is my husband always had my back. If his mother was out of line, he told her so. He never let me down.

The craziness and stress was one of the reasons why my parents never entertained at home when I was younger. They'd do it once in a while, usually in the summer, having people over for a barbecue. And of course, my birthday parties (though it wasn't every year. Some years, my parties were held at Pizza Hut, McDonald's or Chuck E. Cheese). Otherwise, we'd just go out. Prix fixe menus at Chinese restaurants were fairly reasonable - even at the nice ones back in the 80s and 90s (not so much today!!), and we'd do Thanksgiving and Christmas there.
I’ll NEVER forget this. We envited my husbands Aunts an uncles for a bbq. It poured rain the whole day. Husband bbq in the garage and we ate in the dining room. I made coleslaw, potato salad and other side dishes. One Aunt was ripping the skin off the chicken. She didn’t eat any salads as they had mayo in them. She ate nothing. Then, she asked me why I didn’t work to help my husband out. I was over 30 yrs old with 3 little kids. What a Bitch. I went out of my way to entertain them and that’s what I got? Some people don’t know when to zip it. Thy are mean spirited. WTF? My husbands two sisters never had anyone over to eat. They were smart. Me, the schmuck tried to make it nice, but got burned.

For me I felt I needed to buy something because most of the women I knew who were hosting these kinds of parties needed the money. It was a way to help a friend in a way that didn't seem like I was offering charity. I drew the line though when a cousin of mine got involved with Amway. Maybe I was naive about Avon and Tupperware and they're the same as Amway? But for me there was a difference.
Screw all those fancy cleaners that don’t work. For years, I still my old faithfuls .. s*** n Span, 409, Ajax and Clorox. That’s it. The others were bullshit. Oh, I love Fabuloso after I’ve cleaned the bowl. The purple one makes the bathroom smell nice.

Starting this to get things of my chest that get on my nerves. Please share anything...mine will be words. It usually grates on me when I hear:
kiddo

superior
I also can't stand humming or whistling. A short snippet when trying to convey a song is okay, but I get so annoyed when there's someone near me continuously doing this more than a few seconds. In fact, even less than that, and I start worrying about how long it will last and my escape. It's like snoring or static on phone call-holding music...I don't want to hear it!
Fer sure. Fer sure this, Fer sure that. Drives me nuts.

Back in the early '90s when I was in my early 30s when I first moved to CT, I moved into a brand new condo. development full of young married couples. Back then it was the thing to host Tupperware and Mary Kay parties. I had zero interest in doing either but there was so much peer pressure on me in my section to do this I finally gave in as I wanted my new neighbors to like me. They had decided that each of us would take turns hosting these parties once every few months.
At first there were a lot of women wanting to attend these parties so I didn't have to push anything, which was fine with me. My first party was a Tupperware party. I made snacks and stuff but the rest of it pretty much took care of itself. I hosted one Mary Kay party and that was pretty much the same. What totally put me off was the MK representative who kept on me to keep hosting these parties and wouldn't let up. Again I felt pressured and finally gave in. Then after that party didn't net enough sales in her opinion she started in on me about how I could be doing more to push the product. I put my foot down and told her I was not interested in pushing anything on anyone that wasn't interested and I would not be hosting any more parties. I remember her walking out in a huff. The nerve! Some of the other women gradually dropped out of hosting too after a while. Being liked by my neighbors wasn't worth that. And then I found out they weren't too happy with her either. It was a different world back then!
Yes, it was a different world back then. Does anyone here ever think they would have done certain things differently back then knowing what we know now? My two married daughters don’t do a quarter of what I did in the day entertaining, cooking, etc. for relatives and friends. Not that I’m sorry, but I really knocked myself out at a young age with three little kids. Oh well .. water under the bridge.

If sued, they'd probably say, "We're not actually professionals, we just play Ph.D. Entertainers on TV." Seems like they admitted during this episode that they were clueless about what was really going on. Pastor Cal certainly had his frowny "I'm so disappointed" expression on tonight.
I just wish Dr.Pia would get some clothes that would fit.

I MAY watch tonight. Generally, I don't like Kevin Frazier, but it does look interesting tonight. And, of course, Becca is agreeing with everything he says.
Speaking of, I hated Becca’s dress. So much material. Where was she going? To a Ball? Too matronally.

I watched the 2nd part of the reunion and the only two that I, while I may not like them, I didn't dislike them, are Michael and Chloe. They are the only two who stayed out of the mess, which I understand since they weren't married on the first day and didn't spend time together with the other couples from the honeymoon forward.
As far as the others, all I can think of are toxic friendships I was involved in in the past. The best thing would be to end the friendships - not that I think they would been friends if it wasn't for the show.
Finally, Emily needs serious therapy. Watching her made me feel very uncomfortable. I knew Brennan checked out early, but watching Emily last night made me realize why he did and I understand why he did.All I know is if I was a guy, I wouldn’t go near Emily with a ten foot pole. There is nothing about her that is flattering. Drinks too much, sleeps around, dresses provocatively, and talks rough. Then she turns on the waterworks when someone insults her. Just my opinion.

Did you go over the mileage? I did years ago and then bought the car. I’m wary of a lease for that reason, but they have some great deals on leases right now, for all kinds of vehicles.
No, never went over the mileage. Husband looked at every angle with several cars, then decided on the Kia. It’s white, looks beautiful, and the deal was good. The others are very expensive now. He investigates every angle, I just pick the color. But, if we were loaded with money, I would have went with a RAV4 which I just love. To me, it’s a much better car in every way.

From what I can gather, Gerry didn't want Theresa to work...because her work tied her to NJ, spoiling whatever plans he had in his head to get her to move.
YES .. to stop working, go out and have fun everyday, have plenty of sex, eat out at fancy restaurants, take trips, and the list goes on. He’s a dreamer, and Teresa is practical.

She so clearly does not. She was basically like “The fuck is this?” and she was right. “Let me go back to my life with my senior dogs and leave these kids alone.”
Emily is pretty shockingly un-self-aware. Her “friends” called her selfish to her face and behind her back on TV when she told them she was getting married. Her coworker implied that Emily hooking up on business trips wasn’t unusual. When Emily was like “pretty sure my friends didn’t call me selfish or say I had one night stands,” I was like, well, I saw them do it on TV so I assume they had no issue telling Brennan.
She said she wouldn’t apologize for who she is, which is an immature POV in and of itself. I don’t think one-nighters warrant apology. What consenting adults do is their business. I do think that Emily just isn’t a nice person, is a brat (the way she spoke to Kevin was rude and uncalled for and she’s spoken to Keisha the same way, and I’m glad neither of them took her shit), and I see why men don’t seem to engage with her for more than a night. When you behave badly you need to own it and apologize and she seems incapable of doing that. And I think men will continue to engage with her that way until she does some growing up. Again - some of her friends don’t even like her. She’s kind of a bitch.
I stopped watching in favor of Abbott Elementary. It was unpleasant to watch.
Well,look at all of Emily’s friends. All rude rejects. She coms on tv half in the bag already, ready to fight. Then she puts the waterworks on. Them all in pink is childish,and Clareapist is the ringleader. These guys didn’t have a chance. What a waste of my time.

A friend once invited a bunch of us over for coffee (not unusual). After half an hour or so she suddenly pulled out some overpriced makeup and started selling it. I walked out. I couldn't believe how deceptive she had been about it.
Why did you feel like you had to buy something?
I just don’t know. Maybe I was just embarrassed to say no? That was then when I was young and dumb. Now, I wouldn’t give a crap to just say NO.

Literally today I was in a mad frenzy when I came home from a dental cleaning and couldn't find my driver's license, ATM cards, Costco card and passport card. I last had them in my hands at the dentist when I took them out of my wallet to find my ATM card to pay my balance. Not realizing they were missing, I went home, freshened up, had lunch and went out again. When I got on line at the supermarket I looked in my wallet and realized those cards were not there. I paid with another card and went home to find them but didn't have much luck. I searched the car and my purse 3 times and all over the house. I even called the dentist's office. Long story short - they were in a "secret" zipper compartment I never use in my semi-new wallet. In my effort to put them in a super-secure place, I forgot which super-secure place I put them in! I was so distracted talking to the receptionist at the dentist's office I must have done that without thinking!
Of course a friend called while I was searching and told me I'd "better get used to this because we're getting older". I said, "You're telling me? I'm 2 years older than you!", LOL.
I seem to have a habit of putting things in such a "safe place" that even I can't find them. I bought an urn for my mother's ashes several years ago and forgot where I put it. It finally turned up far back in a closet 2 years ago and I was finally able to have her ashes put in it. Now I try to "psych myself out" by putting things where I would most likely look for them, but this still happens to me. Ugh!
Ha, so I went crazy today looking for my new Thyroid pills I just picked up at CVS. I looked hi and low in the car, in my bag, all over the house, etc. Then,for the tenth time, I looked in my purse again like a maniac,and found them in my zipper compartment, which I hardly use. I was sweating bullits. Welcome to old age. Sucks. Now, I have to always make a mental note to myself where I put things, and not be in such a hurry with everything. It’s exhausting.

I've never heard that; I always thought that it was the active ingredient in chili peppers, which is what I found when I looked it up.
When having a back pain issue, I bought Icy hot. I rubb d some on my upper back, and within an hour, I became deathly sick. It was that, as I did not inject anything or rub anything but icy hot. Never again. The only things I can use is Vicks vapo rub or Sports Creme. Beware, if you are sensitive, or even not.

We have about a million remotes so for us it's pens. For some weird reason, my husband hoards pens. If one runs out of ink, another magically appears. I say "Where the hell are the pens?" and he just shrugs and looks mysterious.
I take that back. One main remote to turn tv on. Then another to switch sources, then one for the Firestick for Netflix and Prime tv. He is not technical, so leaves it up to me. Once one remote was in my purse. Oh, and pens and pads all over for grocery lists. Now, he is the Master of all grocery shopping, and I could care less. I am the banker tho, and the bills, but he is the main breadwinner. It all works out tho.

I appreciate your candid response. I had read about technology lacking in the Crosstrek. I’ll have to factor that in. I hadn’t considered a Ford Escape, but I will now.
I’m now wondering….do I want a hybrid? Hmmmm….
Well, now I’m doing the deep dive. Which is good. It’s a lot of money. So, I’m exploring Ford Escape, Mazda CX-5, Crosstrek, Rave 4 and Kia Sportage.
Thank you for your help on this.
After leasing for 3 years, we just bought the Kia Sportage. It’s fine, not like my previous RAV4, but it’s o.k. Has everything we need, but I’m still pissed off it doesn’t have a cd player. Husband didn’t want to go the extra money for the RAV4.

I agree, but it's just sooooo familiar. It looks just like the folder from a stationery set I bought in a card shop when I was a kid. It's amazing how stuff you had as a kid is permanently in your memory. I really think that's the same painting. It's interesting you mentioned Hallmark. It might have been a Hallmark product, I don't remember. There was another company that did pretty stationery that I bought back then but I don't remember the name. We're talking over 50 years ago here. I wish I still had it so I could verify that but alas I don't.
@ABay, I see it says "planner" - Is it a Hallmark planner or do you know where it came from?
This is a stretch, but each year I get Planners when I give a donation to Boys Town. Lately, they are showing Kincaid paintings on cards and planners. You could ask hem if they ever used these pictures on their planners. Who knows? Or, calendars in the Mall. They usually have many calendars of paintings.
