I am loving this fiasco they created - and I get to watch it play out in real time because of this forum. I pity the viewers who don't access a forum like this because they know very little (or nothing) about the bankruptcies, the family wreaths, Janelle being Kody's sister-in-law as well as his wife, the LV homes being on the market for so long, the asking prices steadily dropping, etc. Every time I watch an episode and quite often when reading something here, two of my dear old departed dad's favorite sayings come to mind and I laugh and snort and laugh some more: FUBAR and SNAFU. Lots of people use the word snafu to describe a messed up situation and don't realize where it came from - WWII US Army slang. "Next week on Sister Wives FUBAR ... " LOL (Situation Normal All Fucked Up) (Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition)

re the bold ... prairie dogs, groundhogs, woodchucks and rock chucks are large ground squirrels. Voles, moles, gophers, prairie dogs and ground or tree squirrels are rodents, in terms of behavior and habitat; mainly, they differ in size and the type of homeowner-determined damage they cause. I don't think anything other than traps or poison will make a difference with a resident prairie dog population. If you eliminate one tribe another tribe will eventually move into a newly "unclaimed" territory. Where you find one type of rodent you usually find others whether you "see" them or not. Woodchucks/rock chucks are fond of climbing under the hood of your car and eating the wire harness which is why, after two chewed harnesses, I kept Wild Animal Control on speed dial (to borrow traps that I baited with Oreos). If they build in a rural area they should expect all of the above.

Wouldn't over estimating the effort (or) under estimating the reward make better sense?

Yeah, well, he needs to choose a lane. I wanted to watch a program called Morning Joe on MSNBC. If I wanted to watch Morning Revival I would change the channel to CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network). ETA: I find it misleading, and offensive.

Old Country Preacher is hands down my least favorite of Joey's many personas. He goes cringe-worthy hillbilly when he does Old Country Lawyer, while the others A) try to ignore him, B) failing that, try not to encourage him, C) try to find a neutral spot to focus their gaze. I do get the impression that the panel and I share the same opinion of his sermons. I won't be the least bit surprised if one morning he starts speaking in tongues while doing OCP, and when he is finished Mika will say "Wow. Just wow."

Robyn is the reason why this show went beyond the drawing board. The addition of a 4th wife in real-time brought the drah-ma because otherwise they were just a collection of sad sacks. So we have to give her credit for that. I think I could like her more if not for Kody's obvious infatuation with her and favoritism toward her kids. She has never blended, she has always been oil floating on water - which can fairly be blamed mostly on Kody - and I remain unconvinced that this has ever bothered her or even occured to her on more than a superficial level. I thought about this tonight when she said (paraphrasing) that any moves beyond this one are not something she is up for. Ahem. Given that, I would very much enjoy observing her reaction if Kody went a courtin' with #5. Be still, my heart.

Has anyone seen the 1984 movie Mrs Soffel with Diane Keaton and Mel Gibson? I'm wondering how it compares with this show because I'm re-reading Dominick Dunne's essays in Fatal Charms: And Other Tales of Today. (1986) Dunne writes that Keaton says the movie is "a big love story," based on a true event that took place in Pittsburgh in 1901. "Keaton, who plays the wife of a prison warden, gives an extraordinary and disturbing performance as a fervently religious woman who falls madly, hopelessly in love with a condemned bank robber so handsome that women wait outside the prison to send gifts in to him by the guards. Without thought of consequence, she helps the outlaw and his brother to escape and then willingly forsakes husband, (four) children and reputation to accompany the pair on an ill-fated, three-day race with death. The part is shocking and fascinating and a risky one for a star. Who would care about a woman who does what Mrs Soffel does? As Diane Keaton plays the part, you may not approve but you do understand."

He busted himself when he said he won't have as much help with this move as he had last time. Yeah, because so many of his peons kids have aged out and moseyed along. Slim pickings - his moving crew these days is mostly goony bird wives, flighty tween/teen girls and younguns. Let the games begin and show us A Whole Bunch of it, please.

(Maybe this belongs in Small Talk, but just last week I started finding and reading articles claiming that the recommended diet for those with diabetes is good for almost everyone). Good for Sherri, those belly photos document how successful she has been. I hope she keeps traveling the same road and continues to get good results.

My bad. I'm soon to be 69 and I thought the Whoopster was 67. (She is 62). An office nurse, a realtor and a neighbor recently referred to me as elderly so I guess I have that on the brain. (LOL, bastards!)

So sorry to hear your story, Jaded. 2 weeks of IV antibiotics pretty much sums up how serious it was! OMG you were in your early 30s and nearly died, which goes to show how easily sepsis wipes out anyone, at any age. If you had collapsed when you were at home alone ... well, it doesn't bear thinking about does it? Yay, the practice of medicine. My dad lived until he was 93 and in his 70s he started saying "Take me to a veterinarian if I get really sick because they know how to diagnose and treat patients who can't talk to them." The longer I live, the more I think about him saying that.

I read the posts in this thread and if I missed someone mentioning this I apologize ... but on re-watching, at about the 20 minutes left in this episode mark Kody said "If we don't sell the homes in LV we cannot build." He didn't say "at least 2 or 3 of the LV homes," he said "the homes." So here they are, all this real-time later, which we know about now, and only one home has sold. And fongool with his tears about Ariella's precious moments and stages that he wants to soak in - alllll the other kids had moments and stages that evidently meant very little because he never cried about them. When you're underage you're a tax deduction, when you turn 18 you need to hit the fuckin' road. His tears are not about Ari, they're about him, what he's saying goodbye to, what he won't have again. Boo freakin' hoo.

Robyn doesn't want to raise her hand to vote - I think she would rather snap her thong to get her point across.

This was a few minutes ago but did you notice the mess visible through the open doorway behind Meri when she was packing/winding cords? What a slob. Doesn't she live by herself? I thought she was sooo organized and so par tick u lar about how things are done/kept?

Demonstrating again that this show, like a lot of reality shows, could be sub-titled "White Trash With Money." (Harsh, but true).

It sounds like sepsis was found while Whoopi was being treated for pneumonia; if so, she is very lucky because sepsis is usually discovered "too late." About 20 years ago my 73-year-old mom was hospitalized with pneumonia twice in 6 months and sent to one week of rehab in a nursing home following the second hospitalization. On her third day home from rehab I took her to a pre-op appt for cataract surgery. She started shivering there and they gave her a warmed blanket while they did the exam, mentioning that they didn't control the AC in their suite. The doctor's office and the hospital were on the same campus (Kaiser), they knew she was elderly, recently past pneumonia, just home from rehab, her BP was much lower than usual and she was the only one in the room shivering - but they didn't connect the dots. Bam, 6 hours later, after losing consciousness, she was transported to the ER at the same hospital where she was twice recently treated, diagnosed with septic shock, respirated (although she had been DNR/no heroic measures for 5 years), organs failing and systems shutting down. Gah! She passed less than an hour after I ordered life support removed but wasn't officially pronounced until a doctor appeared after midnight so, technically, she died the day after my birthday instead of on my birthday. Given the timeline, they said she probably picked up an infection in the nursing home - "Oh, we see it all the time like this, most likely from fecal material on something they touch, like a light switch or a toilet or faucet handle." (They assumed that because of the bacteria involved, I forget now which one it was. But they were pretty much ho-hum about all of it). The 2-patient bathroom in rehab wasn't as clean as my home so I went at it with Clorox wipes from my car when I checked her in but I had no idea that "OK, unpleasant" could be deadly. OMG, the GUILT!!! Please, educate yourself in new situations, ask questions, insist on getting answers, use Google/whatever, be an informed advocate for your loved ones! Whoopi is very fortunate to be recovering because she is borderline elderly and pneumonia compromises immunity. Sepsis is silent, swift and deadly. As much as she bugs me, I'm anxious to hear what all she shares when she returns.

This, a couple weeks ago. I forgot to post it: ... when Tyga arrived on the red carpet at Hollywood club Sunset Room, there was an altercation on the packed carpet with an unknown guest. An unidentified man is seen in video posted by a fan yelling at the rapper. When Tyga responds, the rapper’s own security guard tries to keep the star back — before a scuffle breaks out and Tyga is then grabbed and physically carried out by a different guard at the event. The rapper was hauled outside by the neck in front of cameras as he yelled, “Bro! Chill out!” at a hulking guard who deposits him on the sidewalk. Photos outside the club posted by TMZ then clearly captured Tyga reaching under his own security guard’s jacket and into a holster to grab for his gun. But the guard kept his hand securely on the piece and put it back. Tyga was finally convinced to get into a car, and he drove off. But not before one of his pals argued with photographers, yelling, “This is some real s–t right now! Turn those cameras off!” https://pagesix.com/2019/02/24/tyga-reaches-for-gun-after-being-dragged-out-of-floyd-mayweathers-party/

Does this hag embrace every trend she happens across, the more superficial the better? I remain convinced that she is "All hat, no cattle."

She doesn't know who she is. She can be a daughter or a wife or a mother or a sister wife or a friend or an employee but she has trouble being herself because she has no idea who Janelle is. Identity Crisis. (I have the same struggle).

That wasn't Janelle, that was a spoof. Notice the word "Strife" instead of "Strive" at the top. Mahamid Frauded Me does a great job of impersonating Eeyore Janelle in the Strife posts.

Dang. Masterful. (I did read the season bullets in chronological order instead of how they were presented).

She is so pissed that someone beat her to this.

Donny Deutsch, making his Cohen rounds, landed on The Last Word tonight. After giving paragraphs and reams of answers he was asked if a pardon was discussed/offered. His response: I can't speak to that. Translation: Yes, definitely. LOL, thank you, Donny!

A January 2018 entry from Robyn's blog is quoted by ginger90 on page 22 of Robyn's thread/topic, wherein she describes Dayton's childhood behaviors in great detail and relates that testing which began when he was in 2nd grade untimately produced an Asperger's diagnosis. (So fuck off, Kody, with your "No, he's just quirky" bullshit). This is from Robyn's twitter, posted by ginger90 on page 7 of Season 10:03 Kody Wants Out:
