    Heh, I only figured out what TWoP's "boards on boards" meant here on PT in the last year or so. At least, I think I figured it out. It means talking about how the site is moderated? But since I never knew what it meant on TWoP, I can't speak to specifically what constituted a minor or a ban-able infraction there.

    I think maybe any use of words like "TVWoP" or "site" triggered investigation, LOL.

    I got a demerit once when I posted on a popular TV show episode thread about an hour after the episode aired —
    Probably Lost? I had to work until 10 p.m. on Wednesdays
    — and there were already about 30 pages of comments, and I had the foolish audacity to preface my post with something like "I've only read the last 5 pages of posts…."

    I hadn't felt so bad since my first grade teacher told the class that everyone who was not in their seat had to go and put their heads down on their desks for 10 minutes.

    I was banned for the same reason and was devastated. Think I even said I’ve only read last three pages because I have to go out the door. Gone I was.

    Who gave unsolicited advice on how the parents should approach the kids dwarfism? When did this occur?  I'm confused about this statement. 

    A poster indicated that at least Amy should say something to them regarding dwarfism

    I just  rewatched one and at least Caryn confessed to her friend that she always inserts herself too much and it doesn’t turn out well, so she’s learning boundaries. Too late  I’d say. Yet she’s bewildered why they aren’t coming to the event?  Funny her ring was suppose to be a promise ring.  
    Chris is a good guy speaking up for his wife ,she’s had a lifetime of a guy who had to be right at all times and kept her in the dark about money and his relationship with an employee. He has a calm demeanor which is needed and pleasant to watch.
      Early in this show/ series  way back Matt said spending time with his family is a waste of his time so he’s created his relationship with his sons.

  3. I loose pens in addition but now have a rescue dog who finds them and chews them to bits. Can’t count the times this ole lady has to get on the floor with my flashlight to see what he’s chewing under the bed.  
    I’ve had to move so many times in the  last few years and with all the packing and unpacking I started carrying  one of my late husbands large collection of  Swiss knives in my front pants pocket. 
    He always had a mechanical pencil and pen in his shirt pocket when I first meet him.

  4. I haven’t watched the whole program  yet but found Cameron heart story fishy. He said most people can respond to medication but he was going to have surgery as he’s sitting in the car at the hospital? 
     

    I have a heart condition diagnosed about my late 20s. When my tachycardia went on for several hours my mother and RN made my ex take me to ER.

    I was given a injection that brought my heart back into rhythm. The injection made me feel like my heart was stopping or I was fainting but instantly back in rhythm after hours to exhaustion.  Mine is a defect ,a leak and I’ve been on different meds for it but not a tranquilizer  that he made it sound like he was at his maximum that he could take. Is he showing an EKG showing his heart coming to a stop and paddles being used? BS. 
    This  is the most toned down attire Michaels has worn.  
    According to  this cast the show should throw in the towel.

    Unless something changed, Lopez was on yesterday.

    Sorry I was agreeing with Bronzedog .

    i didn’t see any posts for Monday not realizing the protests were everywhere and just watched about the mess on the Golden Gate 

    I enjoyed Michael Douglas, saw him on another talk show in the evening. 

  6. Well my neck of the woods the show wasn’t on because of a protest that locked down a bridge for hours and hours. 

    I’m not sorry because don’t care for Lopez and comedians are my favorite people on earth

    Caryn is extremely agreeable and does her best to get along with everyone and promote peace.  That's why ZiT's implied accusation that she did or said something horrific in that meeting is laughable.

     

     

     

    He felt she had no business being at the meeting let alone putting her 2 cents in. 
    As mother in law  myself I would not give my unsolicited opinion on how the parents should approach their kids dwarfism. 

  8. I’m not sure where to post this but I started watching last night because  it got taped on my DVR, a show called Ultimate Couples hosted by podcasters Sarah Colonna ( stand up comedian)  and a Mary Radzinski.
    The hosts talk and show their takes on the best/  worst different moments from all seasons .

    it’s probably too long for most  but does have some updates.

    I'll come home from these dates sometimes and say....well that was a waste of expensive makeup lol.

    Do we know for sure it's Leslie?  If so, I'll root for her, although I, too, didn't love her sexy dance.  Cringe.

    My late husband had an single employee who had a date she was looking forward to ( think it involved a concert)  it was so long ago I don’t remember what  was wrong with the guy but she said the next day “ I shaved my legs for that? “

  10. It was so nice today at one point it was 77 here in CA , it lifts my mood tons.  My condo community has had several of our cluster mailboxes opened and emptied with master keys 6-7 times in the last 6 months

    Then 2 weeks ago I was sick for couple days and had an RX  taken and a package from Jockey.  Lucky thief got heart medication and black briefs, very sexy.  I changed the RX mail order address to my sons house and of course they sent it signature required so had to get the slip and then to the post office to pick it up.    I went to to pull my license for ID out of my phone and it’s not there.   My son finished my taxes yesterday and took a picture of my license and I didn’t put it back.  The song and dance I did for the postal employee convinced him to hand over my medication.   If this the procedure I’ll switch my address back since I don’t have to sign for them here obviously.    I had a package stolen off my porch 3-4 weeks ago so now my subscriptions from Amazon are going to my sons too.  My HOA is $655 a month but unfortunately cluster mailboxes are the post office responsibility and we only have part time security ( who I’ve never seen) with no phone number to call.  I feel very vulnerable being a older woman living alone. I wouldn’t go to a movie at the shopping center at night and I wrap up grocery shopping before dark too.   Age+ increased crime 

    The earthquake discussion reminds me how my late husband from PA would get pale during a quake where I hate storms and lightning.  I was at work in a tiny bathroom that had a couple of empty medal revolving greeting card holders in that 89 quake. Pitch black with metal racks falling on me and I’m thinking so this is how I’m going to die with my pantyhose around my ankles?  I NEVER went to the bathroom at work so my fellow employees thought I must be locked in the walk in refrigerator that had big medal electric sliding doors has been a bank previously .

    If you're talking about the black (gray) and white USA flag scarf, I think it represents that the promise of America will not quite reach its full potential until we have achieved "liberty and justice for all." When we get to full equality of opportunity, the flag will be resplendent with color.

    I didn’t recognize it as a flag . I’d not heard of that representation so I did a lengthy search both of her wearing it and meaning of such a flag.  I only found a reference to gender neutral, and back three years ago a black white flag having something doing with Trump.   And 5 years ago a single person  who hung a black and white flag “representing economic  struggle and inequality as well. Missing colors representing corrupt politicians and corporations that have drained our once great nation the missing red represents lives lost in vain, blue missing representing middle class workers” 

     There are hundred of pictures of her wearing similar scarfs dating back 2015 in London and 2013 a red white and blue flag scarf as she’s done many times in NY also. I’ve only noticed the washed out grey and stars and dark stripe is apparent in this days scarf. She’s worn really ragged ones to formal  events and variations hundreds of times. Can’t seem to buy one though. Interesting one picture was when she was sent home for 2 weeks for saying the Holocaust had nothing to do with race. 
    As shown my confusion below  I didn’t recognize it as a flag.

    I love Whoopi’s sweater but see she dug up that old gray scarf again.

    I may have to check out Valerie’s cool book. That all looked yummy. 

    I love some of her print jackets but geez when she hauls out that tired scarf.  Hope this boyfriend is deserving of Valerie. I just this second got a notice that Valerie’s speech was cut in 2 places.

    Who's him?

    Sorry I can’t link so probably Off topic

    His show was brought up here a long time ago it’s called Megan McCain Is The Worst.   He’s kept the title but talks about the show among other things. He doesn’t have a big audience but I enjoy him

  14. Where is everyone. ?   I usually watch a YouTube show after watching the show but have been  catching him first lately and he’s pissed ( and rightly so) about the discussion that Ana commented men are useless, and her gay men comments . Has she lost her mind? I’ll tune in to see Chelsea and hope she saves the show.  

  15.  Jevees.  My son more or less saved an employees life during lockdown when she logged into his roll call online in the morning and  appeared online for a couple of days.   He was only a manager for couple of months and his employees are not even in his city nor does he know them age etc.  

    He texted her twice in the morning with no responce then called her twice at noon with no responce so then called her ICE sister who also worked for his company in another city.   The landlord of her apartment couldn’t just open her door he had to call police who first had to talk to my son. She’d been laying on the floor for  3 days and had a stroke related to Covid.  Her computer was frozen.  So very proud of him.   So I asked him how he determines if I’m alive ?  Does he look at Facebook to see my political rants?  I was being funny but he said yes.  So yes I also wonder because he often goes a couple days without texting plus I don’t rant anymore.
    I’m in a condo community that I go weeks without seeing a  neighbor nor do I really know any.( 3 moves in 4 years).   My 2 best friends will be moving to northern CA due to cost of living and they don’t really check in unless they know I’ve been sick. We used to live very close to each other   I seem to get into a funk and don’t go to the store for days.  I eat like crap not cooking etc.  Just year ago I would go to the movies and i was the go to babysitter  when grandkids would be sick and staying home from school. I wish I was religious ( had a therapist recommend church because that’s where her friends are.). I didn’t open the link but do I understand you have to check in with them?  
    I am looking forward to sunshine it helps my mood a great deal, and I’ll open the link —- later

  16. Ana called Dr. Phil out too but his segment came to an end. His remark in response to Ana that that they were the least vulnerable. Really? That’s like saying old people should be willing to die for the economy.. 
    My daughter-in-law is a first grade teacher where her 2 boys go and I can’t tell you the weeks I’ve babysat one then another over the years.  She was lucky during that time the school let her use her empty classroom to teach on zoom since she lives in a small house where my son was working too.  She’d  have to teach many ESL parents how to use a computer or program. Teachers aren’t paid enough! 
    I loved Richard Lewis during  his whole career. I’m saddened.  Along with Gilder Radner, one of my favorites Mitch Hedberg and the hysterical John Pinette. Comedians are my favorite people on the planet.

    Why did Cam say that he would say yes on decision day if Clare says yes?  That made zero sense.  And he basically told Brendan that Clare wasn't offering support because no support was needed, he was either in the hospital or recovering at home.  Aren't those 2 scenarios when you would actually need support?  I think he is just a really odd person.  And it sounds like he is still blaming the show and Clare for causing stress that may have caused his condition.  In looking up what he has, it doesn't seem like its stress related.   I have no idea why these two keep claiming they are such good friends and describing each other as "the best person they've ever met" but yet they don't even seem to want to talk on the phone (esp Cam), never mind see each other.  

    I feel the same way about him he’s just odd. I’m too lazy but will look it up but he first indicated most can be treated by medication but he needed  surgery.  I have a relatively non worrisome heart condition that can cause tachycardia so I am w ordering what he’s talking about.  If two guys are double dating while still under contract I’d think it would be reason to not be paid in anyway or sued.

  18. I was shocked about the years of monthly “migraines”  with no follow through too. Geez.  I remember him having to go to doctor before being very sick. . Yep time for new doctor.  
    It caused was me to have a nightmare about my son whose has had many bouts of traumatic medical issues and hospital stays. I dreamt my son was in the hospital and I forced myself awake but couldn’t go back to sleep. Normally when I do this I lay there and think of all the failings in my life but this morning I realized how I was beside his side and being his advocate from birth to now at 50  ( he’s also  hard of hearing) He has a lovely wife and 2 grade school boys but I’m the one whose is  at the hospital 6-7 hours.   Can’t turn off that mother worry  just because he’s grown. They’re idiots not to have pushed the issue before this.
