Lifting the veil (that she is buried with) from her face while saying her spirit name is Mormon doctrine 101, the Browns/the AUB didn't make that up. But ITA that Meri is SOL. I think Kody keeps her around and bides his time only because tick tock, in the end ... ;-)

Mika's new wardrobe? Because her chest outgrew everything she had in her closet. Is it the midlife crisis equivalent of a push gift? What a hoot it's been, watching these two doing makeovers on each other.

WTF? She said that?

So much looking forward to reading her hashtags if reality sets in and she has to work for a living and pay back her student loans - the horror! Will not be surprised if a Masters isn't "enough" and she pursues a Doctorate. She would be a professional student for life if that were possible, posting inane thoughts and photos because me me me while racking up obscene amounts of debt because tomorrow later whenever.

Shave his head and start over. See what new/undamaged hair looks like.

Thinking she's in control of a situation then realizing she isn't? Maybe related to a hurt or disappointment. " ... pointless expense of energy." Sorta translates as "Why even try, it's a waste of time."

Iron butterfly, steel magnolia, iron fist in a velvet glove, etc.

With statements like that Abby and NutMeg deliver subtle reminders that they are among us, sigh, but not like us. "Us" is different and perhaps interesting but NOKD. (Not our kind, dear.)

I wondered about the angle also and thought it looked like an 8-person or 10-person spa. I guess it's correct, technically, to list that as a pool these days? The large windows in the great room are all that's between you and temps in the 30s and 40s. Vaulted ceilings impress, but heat rises. (I'm someone who looks at taxes and utilities when deciding about what I can afford, so I'm typing from the cheap seats, LOL).

"PG&E declined comment," no shit. Its equipment was responsible for 17 of 21 wildfires in NoCal last year w/ potential liability of $15 billion; 8 of those incidents were referred for prosecution; 4 verdicts so far, 3 liable and 1 skate. At minimum, its liability for the Camp Fire will be another $15 billion. Too big to fail.

2400 sf, built in '95. 3 bdr/3 ba. A pool (above ground?), not large but a pool nonetheless. Septic tank. Haul water/cistern. Granite, stainless. Taxes add $235 month. Vaulted ceilings, baseboard heat, lots of glass, solar will help w/ heating a pad like that at 7000 feet. Does their balloon never land? ps: can hardly wait to see Meri's place!

It's like watching a chess game. Ploys and strategies.

The new Vanity Fair arrived today. Difficult choice, where to put this. Don't see a Hosts thread yet. The caricatures are entertaining, was able to recognize almost everyone. Joey's is to die for, Mika won't like hers. Rach wields a carving set, heh. Never would've "seen" Joy Reid w/o the key. "secret fourth Beastie Boy Ari Melber" LOL (sorry 'bout the robust URL) https://www-vanityfair-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/11/how-msnbc-created-a-cable-news-addiction-epidemic/amp?amp_js_v=a2&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQECAFYAQ%3D%3D#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From %1%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vanityfair.com%2Fnews%2F2018%2F11%2Fhow-msnbc-created-a-cable-news-addiction-epidemic

I wasted about 2 minutes trying to figure out what the hell I was supposed to be seeing in that photo. I didn't feel especially relieved or rewarded when I figured out it was a big belly/armpit/up the nostrils shot.

The bullshit story she came up with is that she didn't photoshop, she just happened to come across a pic that was photoshopped and posted it without knowing that it was altered. What are the odds, that random strangers are photoshopping her kids' "flaws" and she just happens to post the "improvement"? Evidently she doesn't have enough photos of her kids in her camera so she roams the internet, relying on the kindness of strangers to augment her meager supply of family photos.

It's easier to see the difference in the photo in the first link, because the photo moves.

There seems to be an underlying sadness with Janelle. Maybe she's uneasy about having an empty nest fairly soon. Some couples look forward to being just the two of us. If they started out as a couple they can go back to that; if they came together mid-life and blended a family they get to be a couple for the first time when the nest empties. And some couples dread it because their life was all about the kids so now what? Can you imagine this bunch when all the kids are gone and it's just Kody and 4 empty nesters looking to him for companionship? But, Janelle will have lots of time to go fishing - and mountain trout are the best! Polygamy shortchanges women in every phase of their lives.

And sound alike as well, depending on how Sherri chooses to speak.

Yes, well, he is a male and an in-law. I commented about a preference/a trait displayed by 3 out of 5 sisters. Given their competitive natures, how far they will go with it defies prediction. Blows my mind that there are 4 daughters (so far) among the 5 sisters growing up with this as their reality.

Bruce's personality and expectations marinated in the brine of patriarchy. Old mindsets die hard.

Their side hustles reflect who they are and their place in the family. Robyn, with the jewry, faked it while she made something out of nothing. Meri, with LLR, can barely see any of them in her rear view mirror. Christine sometimes takes a little bite of what the "adventurous" wives come up with, just to see what it tastes like. Janelle keeps her head down and her eyes on her own paper, and plods and trudges on the slow track to nowhere.

Did the ones who blew up their asses launch it during relationships with black guys? Do the ones with huge asses most often form relationships with black guys? It comes across as fetishism, by all involved. Yet they found each other and are living their dream, which is a privilege (like old age) denied to many.

After the way these two gaslighted Diana! Indeed. The irony is rich. https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/03/how-camilla-won-over-the-queen-and-became-the-duchess-of-cornwall

I don't use a news feed, I bounce around between bookmarks: NYTimes, WaPo, WSJ, MSN and (because I'm from SoCal) LATimes. The LA basin is an entertainment capital so I expected to see lots of "names." Ho hum. No matter the event, adding Malibu to the mix means "buckle up for celebrity coverage." Yawn. But with these fires, GTFO, I'm looking for news. I thought Caitlyn was represented on those sites to a degree that doesn't reflect the fact that she isn't current, relevant or respected. I saw a lot of James Woods, who IMO is an ass and a half, because he is using his twitter account as a clearinghouse for missing persons and their families. So I'm giving him a pass for now. Learning that Martin Sheen and wife were hunkered down in the parking lot at Zuma and sleeping in their car ... items like that didn't irritate me. The celeb tweets that I saw (even tho I know they're insured to the gills) were humble and inclusive. Updates and up/updates re Caitlyn ... spare me.
