  1. ITA and that's what I've done for the 50 years I've been driving and what I preached to my daughter and her friends and to my grands. #1 is radio off and hands at 10 and 2 as soon as the vehicle goes in Park because you can't accurately judge what the LEO can see as they approach - leave absolutely no room for doubt re your intentions. Name your movements before you make them even though you are following instructions: I'm going to open the glovebox/the console, reach for my purse, etc. I think this shows respect for the human behind the badge because you can't know how shitty their last encounter was or how lousy their shift is going. Your default should be "I am the most delightful traffic stop you will make today.'
  2. She posted for weeks as if she were at home in Manhatten and mentioned how deathly quiet her streets and neighborhood were, except for the wailing of ambulance sirens. All the while, she was (and still is AFAIK) freakin' doin' hard time on the posh island of Mustique!
  3. I've been wanting to watch Kevin Costner's Yellowstone but the Paramount channel isn't part of my Xfinity package and the show isn't available on Netflix or Hulu. Xfinity started offering the Peacock app free of charge to all subscribers and Yellowstone was the first show listed when I browsed tonight and the first two seasons are available. Yippee ki yay. Season 3 begins on June 21 and it's already been renewed for Season 4.
  4. No blood, no exile. But being remembered as tacky enough to think it's a fun idea to dress up as a murder victim and her murderer sounds about right. It's all good as long as no one mentions anything about her family members that she might consider offensive or disrespectful. Because then she will flip the fuck out. My point would be that if you apologize for being an insensitive asshole but keep on being an insensitive asshole your apology is hot air and nothing more. I don't like Rinna, I think she's a conniver (and an insensitive asshole) and most of what she says and does rubs me the wrong way. But she's not a hill I would choose to die on so my inclination is to say we can agree to disagree.
  5. lf a mature adult can't pull off a recognizable Halloween costume without displaying a swastika, common sense and discretion dictate that he would opt to portray someone else. There are people still walking this earth with death camp identification numbers tattooed on their wrists. (Harry Hamlin was 64 years and clearly not a frat boy in 2015). If a mature adult mother of two daughters thinks it amusing to dress as another mother's daughter who lived an entirely tragic life, was deeply and seriously disturbed since birth, was diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 15 and stabbed to death by her heroin-addicted boyfriend at age 20, common sense and discretion dictate that she would opt to portray someone else. (Lisa was 52 in 2015 and has never been described as having good taste or core values). Apologizing after getting a cheap thrill from the shock value you chased after is meaningless. Immature kids who did that could be described as owning it; for mature adults, it was just lip service in reaction to blowback. Yukking it up with Lori Laughlin and two Jews, Kyle and Mauricio. (The parents of eight daughters). https://people.com/tv/halloween-lisa-rinna-harry-hamlin-apologize-for-swastika-sid-vicious-costume/ And I Don't Want to Live This Life: A Mother's Story of Her Daughter's Murder https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10055.And_I_Don_t_Want_to_Live_This_Life
  6. Is it under the trendy umbrella? Where ks = x? I've seen it lately with business names: ElectricWorx and YardWorx.
  7. Ignorance, prejudice or practicality aside, the main reason why I can't see they/them gaining wide use or acceptance is that it doesn't directly effect or represent a large enough percentage of the population. Sad, but true. I definitely see where people* are coming from when they say the they/them designation is meaningful to their lives and psyches. My posts here are made with the insufferable Mariah in mind and are not directed at anyone else's reality. I hope they haven't come across that way. *Posers excluded
  8. Thank you for the clarification but the fact remains that the concept is meaningless. Politically correct, but meaningless. Even if someone's preference for they/them is known it is impractical and/or useless in myriad situations where gender matters. Over time there have been numerous transformative and lasting contributions made to society as youngs make their mark. They/them is a fad, and by definition a fad is something that comes... and then goes, and is faintly recalled. Like most of what spews from Mariah's yap, they/them is a yawn 'cause there ain't no meat on them bones.
  9. Charlie has been petitioning since 2016 to reduce the support he pays to Brooke. Denise agreed to receive less than half of what he was ordered to pay her when he and Brooke went back to rehab while Denise fostered their sons. Charlie, being what he is, an asshole an addict with a progressive disease, stopped paying Denise anything. She eventually filed to receive back payments worth $450,000, and stipulated that during the period in question he diverted $600,000 to adult family members to reduce his assets by more than what he owed to his daughters. Going up against him means being willing to poke a maniac. He acts halfway decent when Denise asks nothing of him and behaves like a rabid badger when she stands up to him. The transcripts of his emails and voice messages are full of filth and violent threats and violence and filthy threats. The constant barrage from a totally out-of-control addict who isn't getting his way wears a person down and extracts an exhausting price. It isn't a matter of giving one deposition and making a couple of appearances in court. It also means paying an attorney to attend with you. Some of the depositions Denise gave were 7 and 8 hours long and her attorney bills by the hour for that, as is the custom. Lisa knows this, they have been friends for twenty years. Charlie has sworn to bleed her dry financially and emotionally, and is succeeding admirably, so that's why she hesitates about going to court. It isn't lame, it's self-preservation. The vipers desperately want her to spend her airtime laying out all this nasty business. They're not the least bit sympathetic or empathetic, they're out for a kill so they can feel superior because they conduct their lives "better."
  10. Wow, there are two protests in Utah today, in Salt Lake and in Ogden. Protesters in SLC scaled the wall around SLPD headquarters. Words cannot express how radical this behavior is in Utah. I saw signs with the letters ACAB, which stands for All Cops Are Bad. I'm from the '60s and went to my fair share of anti-war protests in SoCal but this ACAB angle sets my teeth on edge. An officer was killed (and another was wounded) in Ogden two days ago while responding to a domestic violence call. Local boy, 24 years old, 15 months on the job, two days short of his fifth wedding anniversary, father of two, second generation LEO, his brother is a code enforcement officer, described as someone whose default expression was a big smile. Your car is stolen, you hear a prowler, your child goes missing, you're in a traffic accident - your husband is threatening to kill you - who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters? Pffftt. The people who made those signs might just as well go to the cemetery after the funeral and piss on Officer Nate Lyday's fresh grave.
  11. She is radical only in two environments: her family, and Utah. Big turd:small bowl.
  12. The delicious bite is that it's not just about them and Forbes. Coty is also a part of the mix, even if for nothing more than the embarrassment factor. It will be interesting to see if the Coty angle comes more prominently into play. Is it possible that there were three sets of books? Or am I misreading the story?
  13. Some really, really bad work. As in "Please tell me the name of your surgeon so I will know who to avoid." In the olden days she looked a lot like Raquel Welch in her prime.
  14. My memory isn't what it used to be and this observation spoke to my dilemma. Has this show always been such a constant bitch eat bitch world? I thought there were fun and interesting and genuine moments interpersed with deadly go for the throat drama. Which made the drama more effective because of the contrast, the surprise factor. Or am I not remembering it accurately?
  15. Hoo boy, she will need to find a job that allows her to continue her SM bullshit ranting and raving. She is so full of herself and so full of anger that she would explode if she couldn't vent in public because venting in private obviously doesn't provide the necessary satisfaction. But WTH type of job would come with that freedom? I can't see any reputable cause or employer taking her on even as a token spokeswomxn. Rest assured, somehow the shit show will go on long after the TV show ends.
  16. That Forbes article cites the financials not lining up since 2016 and mentions a trust Kris claimed was for the benefit of minor Kylie but was created after she was an adult.
  17. So they were reputable when they were backing her play but now not so much? OK.
  18. If Coty overpaid based on false documentation then Coty would have grounds for a civil suit, right? Maybe Kim is getting her law license just in time, phew!
  19. I'm an atheist. I think there was a community activist and preacher from Nazareth whose name was Jesus. There is a world of difference between an activist and a rioter. She lives to troll and incite. I hope her arrogant and ignorant life is filled with setbacks and hardships because she doesn't deserve anything beneficial or positive. Get out while you can, Audj. If there is any justice, a hard rain's a gonna fall.
  20. Spread the word if this pertains to someone you know because many people (like my sister) are still waiting for their stimulus money and this method was implemented without being announced ahead of time. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/05/28/people-are-mistaking-stimulus-payments-junk-mail-or-scam/ What about ATM or transfer fees and ATM daily limits? Interesting.
  21. I don't remember seeing them a lot but her 6-year-old peed on the grass at Adrienne's pool party, and Kyle and Camille gave Brandi a hard time about it.
  22. I nearly fell off the bed. Grandstanding: behaving in a way that makes people pay attention to you instead of thinking about more important matters. Hypocrisy: the practice of engaging in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another. Tone Deaf Phenomenon: messaging fails that make you shake your head and say, “What were they thinking?”

  24. It has been mentioned in a few posts that Denise stepped in and parented Charlie and Brooke's young twins when the need arose. The details are horrendous and it's not a stretch to say that very few people would have kept those little boys as long as she did. I will always give her credit for stepping up and making a prolonged effort because it speaks to the kind of person she is. She wrote an 8-page letter to the judge overseeing the case when she realized the seriousness of the issues and decided to relinquish guardianship. I won't post the link to the letter but you can find if if you're interested. One of the problems was intentional and frequent cruelty to animals. I won't say more than that about what they did because they are minors, but their behaviors screamed severe abuse and trauma. re Charlie (who had four years of sobriety when they met) she has often said "That is not the man I married, that is the man I divorced."
  25. Has anyone else's online weather been inaccurate recently? Mine has been way off the mark for at least a couple months, I began to notice it when I was tracking the last of our snow storms. It would be snowing like hell and the "current" or "updated 7 minutes ago" temp would be 58. The default site on my phone and my PC (weather dot com) is always off by 10-15 or even 20 degrees. The reporting locations are various points around town, ranging from the airport to the university campus to the ranger station. I can change the stations on some sites and get temps with a 2 or 3 degree variation so that makes sense - but right now weather dot com (which belongs to the Weather Channel) has me at 61, wunderground says 74 and accuweather tells me it's 81. (There are a few more sites that are saying 80-84). I don't have AC so if it was 61 or even 74 I wouldn't be sittin' here with all the lights off, the fan on max and a cold towel around my neck!
