If you are in the window from leaving your job, it may still be a qualifying event. I have been out of the HR business for too long, and I don't know all the ins and outs of employment insurance integration with COBRA and the ACA but if it's like it used to be, even if you were covered under DH's insurance it would be a qualifying event - if Maisie were less than 2 months, that would have been as well. It's worth checking on. I'm so sorry that the two of you are struggling but please please remember that your DH is petrified, the two of you had already been through so much :( and now it's you and it's finances which alone is the biggest reason for arguments in a relationship. Just try to be kind, and look at things from all perspectives, even if he can't. Hugs, sweetie. ♥

Honest to pete, I'm still recovered, lol, but I thought Nicolle was referring to Despicable Me, I could be wrong though.

It looks like it.

Who knew that Capezio showed at Fashion Week? Welp, that susses it, I'm not buying the top that is so much like one the lass had when she was little with the pointe shoes. :P

That's how I heard it and it was incredibly distasteful to hear a multi-millionaire do something like this. You want to honor your brother with a neighborhood block party? Pay for it yourself!

The idea that they want to ditch Nicolle for someone more stridently right-wing just makes it worse, since they'll have Bure as a rotating co-host. There won't be any balance without Joy or RosieO because Whoopi isn't left-wing, she's a libertarian essentially, fiscally conservative and socially liberal (without wanting to pay taxes for a public safety net). We know she's no feminist, that's for sure. Actually, now that I think about it, all she cares about are civil rights and abortion.

I was done dammit, and then I got sucked back in to this train wreck. But I don't think I can abide gawking or hate watching this with Sherri or Candace.

That would be what happened, along with tears and hand holding.

We need a sarcasm emoticon just for PTV. ;)

It sounds like Sherri is on the roster of rotating co-hosts for next season, along with Stacy whom I know you all love and Candace, whom I HATE!!!!!

Oooh, I haven't watched this yet, I'm not going to read the link until I do. Go Ollie!

Can someone hep me understand the "celebration" of Clyde in Chelsea and all the donations? Was it a fundraiser? WTF didn't Whoopi just foot the bill if it wasn't? And if they were going to bring up Comic Con, they should have highlighted John Lewis' appearance What nonsense this show has become.

@Clemgo3165 - there is no question I think, that Kalani has had less training in the last year than in previous years, just the commuting back and forth would probably affect it; so you have a point. I think though that we've seen her body completely transform since her appearance on AUDC. Here she is in 2012 for comparison, she didn't have a lot of definition then, either, compared to some other girls.

I think Mack and Maddie's solos looked horribly out of step with the trend. Maybe it's good to stick out, but I'm not sure this is the way to go. I don't like the trend, but it's clear that a beautiful leotard and rhythmic gymnastics er contemporary is the trend and it often doesn't serve one well to swim against the stream. eta: I was pretty bored watching the finale, but it was a joy to see the beautifully trained Denise Wall and Joann Chapman dancers.

The cynic in me questions why Campbell Brown (married to the uber neocon Dan Senor) is so fucking passionate about education, you can bet your bottom dollar that her kids are in private schools. I think the answer has to be in more corporatization of public schools, school choice my ass. I'd like to see how this little family is invested. Obama sucks on this and Jeb! sucks on this, I have no idea how Bernie is on this aside from him wanting state universities to be free, I'm actually hopeful that Hillary will come down on the side of the unions and traditional public schools and move the hell away from charter schools and common core. Maybe do something about fucking Texas having a stranglehold on textbooks as well.

(Mods, if this is too far out of the realm, please feel free to delete, I wasn't sure if I should post it here or in the Religion thread.) For your consideration, I recently came across this article in Salon, it's from 2014 and discusses "Religious Trauma Syndrome". It doesn't mention the Duggars, but I think it speaks very loudly to their experiences as children.

Jesus, the producers of this show leak like sieves. More reasons not to watch. It's funny that the a British tabloid always gets the leaks first. Boo! And more Boo! eta: WOW WOW WOW, look at the comments, most of them sound like our group! "Too late, Whoopi killed it!"

That's where I was coming from as well, for the record. @Clemgo3165 - it could just as easily be from going through puberty as it is from less training. Some girls hardly change at all and others completely transform. Going back to the example of Misty Copeland, she didn't go through it until she was 19, which is when she started having body issues.

@sofiah, do you know if Lilly was the fourth in the top 4? If anyone is interested, you can watch the finale live here at 6:30 edt Sunday night (right now). eta: I found it @sofiah, I thought it would be Lilly, I win, tee hee.

This explains the 135k fine for the Christian bakery owners that refused to bake the cake for the lesbian couple. Now I'm not sure it was enough!

^^^^That makes it sound like the Cosby's have an "open marriage". I wonder if she was aware of the somnophilia though.

Tell that to Misty Copeland, or just about any female with Ailey, Complexions or many, many other contemporary companies. Dancers will always be typecast but there is not a one size fits all in the dance world.

I'm in. We're here. Massive hugs for wanderwoman with leftovers for SomePity1066. I love the idea of taking photos and using an estate seller to de-clutter family heirlooms! wanderwoman, how long ago did you quit your job? Are you still in the window of a "qualifying event" for ACA coverage? Just an idea.

He holds the purse strings, she's accustomed to a certain life and probably feels entitled to continue it. Somnophilia.

You should backformore! Or even better post it on The View's Facebook page where the interns will see it, or best, both!
