Rum and Coke (she was the daughter of immigrants from the Caribbean, she liked rum) and occasionally a vodka and tonic. She was divorced as long as I knew her, and she had no interest in remarriage, though I think she dated. She was fly, my grandma.

He said Michael TOLD HIM his head game sucked (no pun intended!). I CANNOT.

Oh noooooo, Joey’s head game is weak!

I cannot with these thirsty grandmas. And listen: my grandma was divorced and dressed beautifully and had a life (my other grandma too, but she was married), but she wasn’t so … sloppy. I buy it. Single women outnumber single men as you get older, particularly as you enter your golden years. Men die first, to be blunt. I have an older acquaintance who went through a rough patch in his marriage and was like “who would want me at my age?” (He’s in his 50s) and I was like, “you’re a successful business owner, have a full head of hair, and are fit (he does CrossFit). You will be single for as long as you want, and not a second longer.” (He remains married.)

I had a neighbor growing up (he was a couple of years older than I) who did this - knocked someone up in college, came home with the kid, and handed the kid to his mom to raise, and I don’t think he finished school. They were an affluent family (mom was a psychiatrist, dad was a lawyer who had passed away by then). Son was the youngest of three, the only boy, and his mom fully and regretfully admits that they spoiled him, and her raising her grandson was the result. She loved her grandson, but she was like, “yeah, we should have been stricter with Son.”

OnlyFans. Candace’s lifestyle shows aaaaaaallllll over her face. That is a rough-looking woman.

Ginger peach!!

Man, this dude is about to get so played.

I am in a mood, friends. Burnout is real.

Watching a couple in St. Peters, MO (no idea where that is) with nearly identical voices. One of them who wore glasses was kind of annoying with his very strict closet organization (he kept looking at huge walk-ins and declaring them too small and he kept saying he wanted something “grand”) and couch rotation system. They and their FOUR DOGS had moved in with Glasses’ best friend to save money. That’s a good friend! I really liked the second house they looked at, though it didn’t have a yard for their dogs. It was also much bigger inside than it looked. They ended up with a new build, which was the house I liked the least.

Nothing causes me to lose interest faster than will they/won’t they, and Gregory and Janine are no exception. Mr. Johnson’s bathroom discovery cracked me up, from his smirk at Ava’s assistant to him telling the toilet it was going to learn his name the hard way. Barbara’s delivery of “oh, wait a minute now…” when she noticed something afoot with the Liberty kids was perfectly delivered. It was like listening to one of my great-aunts. There has GOT to be a meme of Gregory on the trike. I was DYING.

Her nose is not a good advertisement. She looked the same after.

I wouldn’t date a man with six kids by one woman. Six kids by four women would have me busting through the wall like the Kool-Aid man.

Feels a way, feels some kind/type of way, feels a certain type/kind of way are all slang for “feels bad/mad/sad” - always negative feelings.

Six kids by four women. HARD NO. They have EIGHT KIDS between them.

We need the back story on the short man with a white beard and a bandanna in his head in the background of this scene.

I’d say 32 in my experience, but yes. I just ended a friends with benefits thing a couple of weeks ago.

I was like “That … is not the flex you think it is.”

These women are THIRSTY. GodDAMN.

Rick (is that his name?) is a good-looking older guy, particularly since he used to drink - that can wreak havoc on your looks.

Shonta’s? Fake.

This is another thing we are not to speak of (the name, not the child - the child is innocent).

HA! Jamal’s mother is like “girl, you stupid, he not marrying you.”

This one is trying to open a restaurant! She doesn’t have time for all this!

Don’t show your kid the dirty pictures you send to your prison boyfriend! It’s because they’ve seen too much. I hate it.
