Amen to your whole post. JJ just can't deal with the great unwashed. I would never, ever shop on CL, because my LE buddies say "uh uh, no way". BUT! For those (mostly)guys that like to chase a bargain and fix stuff up. It's fun. It's a hobby. The thrill of the chase. People dump stuff below market all the time for a myriad of reasons. Like you say, divorce, broke, trying to pay some bills. For instance, a sweet electric guitar, maybe worth a grand. Pawn shop offers $250. Dude can snag $400/500 on CL and buyer/seller are THRILLED! In JJ world, buyer should pass because it MIGHT be stolen. Oh just shut up, JJ. Happyass your ear rocks down to the pawn shop and let's see how that works out. I can hear her sqawking now "do you know what I paid for these???"

I'm just not sure why I suffer this court show. Because there's new ones peppered in, I suppose. Let's just give Judge Acker her own bench and bring back Judge Eyebrows occasionally. Acker suffers no fools, I keep a girl crush there. DiMango has never understood a car or home repair in her life. Then, there's poor bleeding heart dude, he could figure out how to excuse Ted Bundy. I know he's a foil for our watching fodder, but jeez. Dial it back. Delete it from my DVR? Nah. Not a chance.

Oh I remember that doozy from first run. She's on Section 8 (and probably the other assorted accrutremonts). Giving away furniture, (guessing rent to own) being "overseas".... JJ would've tore her ass up. When am I ever gonna learn? I'm so stupid. Go to work, pay for my shit and then shuffle credit card miles and budgets just to go to Chicago for a few days? Where's the "overseas dole"? I just Googled. I can't find my Free dream trip to London ANYWHERE! I'm convinced. There's a Secret Google. Later, I'll try "sit on my ass, live for nothing and live high on the hog". Perhaps if I stick "Byrd" in the keywords, I'll get a hit. Will keep y'all posted.

I just don't get it. I'm old, but interwebs savvy enough, that I bet for that kinda money, I could find a very nice evening of slap & tickle with a little Richard Gere escort sort of cutie. Just sayin'. I mean, FFS, nobody gonna fault you for paying for it. I certainly wouldn't. But damn GF (and all our female litigants) get some real bang for your buck! And that my friends, I mean LITERALLY, in it's correct use of the word. Sheesh

At least in a week or two, regular TV fires up. Then, I can discuss some TV shows with friends and family without tap dancing around this shame I feel about watching LAL and 90 Day.

On TeeVee or at the theatre? I was loving it on tv, but damn near swooned when I saw big screen trailer!!! I had to loosen my corset and take to the fainting couch😁

What a freaking.yawnfest! Trash TeeVee is really going downhill. Just me? Or do all these people just look stinky dirty? I get the jail "don't drop the soap" issues. But what's your excuse if you've been on the outside? As my old southern meemaw would say " they all look like they got crotch crickets". I just wanna give them all a Silkwood Shower.

Shit.shit! "Prissyplate"! Kudos to Gramto6 It's fucking genius. It is forewith a part of MasterChef lexicon

Like seriously, I'm gonna ring up Gramto6 and say '"ok, GF, let's go meet for a drink and a girlfriend yakfest" and while we're at it... find a place that we can throw down $50 each for some silly little prissyplate. I don't know who you hang with, but my BFFs would (rightfully) leave my stupid ass in the parking lot while they left to have 'ritas and nachos.

Your forum GF (HeeHee) rocks her $100. Skullgard with the appropriate PC stickers- cause that's the Jimmy Choo of infrastructure designer fashion, I gots street cred. We could wax on for hours about the right safety vest and the whole phone/pocket conundrum. Boring everyone else to tears. The point is, if you are a good hard working kid at a fancy schmancy resto, begging for tips and Sucking up to idiots that think two carrots and a beef fart is worth $75 bucks. Think again. If you AREN'T the chef (or his BFF). Quit fooling around. Quit being broke. Either own the damn place or get gone. The resto business is like Broadway. If you're not a star now, you're probably never gonna be onel Look out the window. That guy building the road. He's a dumbass? Haha. He's probably pulling down 90k and change. Guess what? Nobody needs those silly scallops on pruree. Everybody needs a decent street.. Quit being a snob. That's my preach to millennials and beyond

The movie biz has become so competitive here that a seat that Doesn't Recline is like some serious ghetto shit. It's unthinkable! Sit straight up? You've lost your damn mind! My fav Cinemark is all recliners. Weekday, old farts about $6. The first theater in the area (Look Cinema) to go luxury had actual couches. It was on the news, it was a big damn deal. A Saturday night first run flick was $25. Per butt! AZ, I think we are close to the same age. Y'all probably remember that shoving 8 folks in a car for the drive-in was how we saw movies without breaking the bank! Brought our own popcorn and (adult) beverages. Good times. Screen quality sucked, and audio? The worst!

It's a thing. Not for the faint of heart. Childhood friend had the most avant garde, happening, "be seen" place- Celebs, D Magazine, The Chef, yada.. for about 6 months. Gorgeous interior, prime address. Then Boom. Next week, There was another place to overpay for little artsy dabbles of food... Overnight, he couldn't fill the dining room on Saturday night With coupons. Insane rent, notes on the "architectural remodel", didn't stop. Makes me appreciate my glamourus world of road building. It's concrete, we have a bright orange barrel decor, dust at no charge,! Deal. Where else you gonna go? 🤔 Oh! Oh! That's a juicy rathole I didn't even know existed!

I know it's freaking cutthroat. Just yesterday, Andrea Zamperoni, big deal in NYC, was found dead. Not looking like natural causes either. I know from friends and ID Channel that chefs are crazy temperamental and the long hours make the resto business pretty drug friendly. Even under the best circumstances, the public is very fickle. In our big market (DFW), the current darling resto with lines out the door and waiting lists can be a ghost town next week. The food, service, decor can be lovely, but a new shiny bauble will crash it all overnight.

HeeHee! The "Doris Day" lens. Now, I'll be completely distracted! I've always figured that with her $$$ that she has an awesome nip/tuck guy. For 70+ it's good work! No pulled back eyes or over filled lips for the "duck in a wind tunnel" look. Someone at least has to work on her ears! Regular old ears would never support those eleventy carat boulders. Now, JM has good work too, on her face, but her hands and neck need a little visit. Not that my old ass has given this any thought...

It's not catching on as quickly as you'd think. 😁

Just saw a bunch of clips for the new season. It looks like we got at least one catfish. Guy is claiming to be dating Miranda Lambert. The betting window is now open! How many minutes into the show before Schill points out that he and Robyn are BESTIES with Miranda? There's never been celebrity mentioned that he hasn't been tight with for "years". Never mind that Coach CroMagnon is the only "celeb" that's ever been on the show....

Snobby Joe can kiss it. He can piddle with his single ravioli on a schmear while I chow down on cooksdelight stunning skillet. I cannot figure out how Lidia is Joe's mother. She seems so sweet and warm! I know I see steaks in cast iron on every cooking show. I'm sure it's fine. Here in Texas (we have a cow or two) it's almost a crime to cook an expensive cut of beef any way except over open flame. People will have serious debates over oak, mesquite, apple, charcoal and even gas, but flame is required. In a pinch, if it starts raining on the grill, you can go under a gas broiler. I'd be interested if this is the thinking in other ranching states!

Mmmmm! Sunday morning work for you? You cook, I'll clean! 🥰

Their banter is much better after they begrudgingly decide they like each other. I can watch Best of Maggie loops on YouTube for hours. FWIW, I am trying to get my circle to call me "Dowager". I'm all about the special occasions for the costumes, of course, but the flowers give me the vapors, too. When I saw the movie trailer at the theater last week, I thought I was gonna jump out of my skin! Of course, I went from Texas to Manhatten to see the exhibit.... Preach! I love a weekday matinee, too. Once in awhile, I am the only one there.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣. Totally stealing this!!!!

Yep!!! It's been fun. I sobbed and truly hoped Sybil might make it through childbirth this time. (she didn't). I hollered at Matthew to slow down on that road. (he didn't). I wondered if Edith's child might still be so unfortunate looking this time. (she was). Where are you in the series TV Diva?

Just me or is the bloom coming off this rose? It takes me days to even bother to watch the episode and then I FF the whole thing in about 10 minutes. Nothing ever happens. Everybody whines about the same thing, week after week. I've been thinking about cutting the cable cord. TLC is not doing much to keep me paying $80/mo for TeeVee.😴

Because rolling around and screeching in the street is a really sexy look. I bet more than a few congratulate themselves for being the Prize at the cage match. I don't remember this level of desperation back in the Jurassic Period. There were guys you married/lived with, guys you dated in public and the occasional bad boy that was a fun roll in the hay. You never ever blurred the categories and NONE of them got paid a stud fee.

Heartbreaking to see your baby in a horrible situation like that! Glad your bro got there in time. I flove dachs! The highlight of our giant Oktoberfest here is the dachs agility trials! I could watch those little squirts run around for hours. I take my deep hatred for pits to another forum. With a mauling in the news everyday, I have to vent somewhere. My pleasure. I let out a little cheer when I saw who our rerun was today. She was about to ratchet those last coupla teef right out of her mouth. I don't know where I picked up such vulgar words as bump and rail. Maybe novels? I read a lot back in the 80's.😉

Criminals get nailed all the time because they just can't resist the urge to post their dumbassedness. I guess that's a good thing for law enforcement. I'm also amazed at what these "women" humiliate themselves over. It's never a CEO, doctor, celebrity or star athlete! They are acting like honey badgers (👋 Angela H) over dudes in jail, fresh out of jail, headed to jail or just laying at the house doing nothing. I mean, WTF? When I was young, it was easy as hell to get laid by at least middle management dudes. I certainly never had to spar over one, there was always another willing weenie three barstools over. These modern girls are working way too hard at it.😁
