Thanks. It's not a big deal. Until it happeed in my family, I basically assumed there was only one form of dementia and it was Alzheimer's. Hopefully one day there will be a cure. It's painful to watch someone you love become a completely different person.
Happening to me...it's the worst.

Longterm care facility.
Thanks. Reason I ask is this was what happened to my father and now what may be happening to my partner very shortly. Not good.

Dying in one's sleep at 35 would be far far preferable to falling in the skilled nursing facility and breaking one's hip >>> death. I'm watching my 3rd parent waste away in a LCF, and I wouldn't wish it on a wild boar.
What's an LCF?

I didn't catch the whole tribute, but I noticed that some celebs had to "share" their space with another (Rutger Hauer was one), I guess so they could give camera time to the "singer" (most definitely in quotes) with the psychedelic hair who couldn't sing to save her damn life!
She murdered that poor song.

I saw a new one for K Jeweler last night featuring this hideously-dressed man making his way thru a crowd of people holding heart balloons to give a ring to an equally poorly-dressed woman. I don't know why this commercial annoys me so much, but it does!
They look like a couple of clowns.

They're confusing punk with new wave.

This show seems to like to go back in the past a lot. It's like an aging band; playing the greatest hits over and over again. I didn't watch this episode since I lived in Jersey at the time and read all the NYC tabloid crap. Then there were the three Amy Fisher movies in the early 90's...

Did anyone watch Dorothy Stratton? I don't know why they are re-hashing this 29 year old story but I watched it..Nothing new to say..I love how they REALLY played up the "she was so innocent and childlike, etc etc." as if a truly innocent girl would have no problem playing to the camera nude while laughing and really enjoying herself and having no problem being in compromising positions. . Ask yourself, if you were shy, sheltered but not mentally or emotionally compromised, would you at 18 have had no problem getting naked in front of a bunch of leches knowing you were going to be jerked off to by millions of boys and men?.Yes the murder was horrific but that is a terrible thing unto itself..There was no need for the media going back to 1980 to have to justify it by making her out to be an erotic saint..
I only saw the last half hour or so. It was a terrible thing that happened but there seems to be an assumption that she was on the cusp of greatness. I don't see it. She wasn't a great actress and the career arcs of famous Playboy Playmates was not great. Even Bogdanovich was on a downhill slide at the time.

Ok ad companies, this Gen X-er feels that you have finally gone TOO FAR.
Stone Temple Pilots for Dodge Ram? Fuck on outta here with that shit.
This, along with other commercials that use songs from the 90's are getting it from songwriters that died recently. STP, Cramberries, George Michael, etc. The families and band members don't give a damn. I just wonder if this stuff would've been used if they were still alive. Anything with Petty or Bowie yet?

Who here locks their bathroom door when you know you are home alone and no one is expected to be home for hours?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
And a fall in a small bathroom during a heart episode would leave bruising on maybe the neck, but moreso on the head, arms, legs, torso, where the person might have fallen against a sink or toilet. The neck would be protected by the head/shoulders, which should have more bruising than the throat.
JMHO of course since I wasn't there. But family members thought the bruising and locked door was funky, and they should know. Even Bob's friend/guy relative said Bob locking the bathroom door was bogus. I give him more cred on that topic than anyone else. Especially the police.
Dateline always tosses us red herrings. That's what irks me. Although as I posted earlier, it demonstrates how easy it is to influence others when only one side of a story is told. It's a life lesson, if only we would listen to it.
I do...

What I got from Tessa explaining her moment (not during the runway, but a talking head) was that during her college years someone tried to get her to do something sexual that she didn't want to do and it brought about the memories of an experience(s) during her younger years. And that while she wasn't able to claim her body as her own during the younger experience, she could (did?) claim it as her college age self. And she wanted to share that claiming of your body in this design. I think during the explanation of the challenge with Karli and Elaine giving (pushing?) them to air their personal passion, had to be personal! not just popular!, that it was a slight trigger for Tessa and she decided to bite the bullet, then went back and forth between regret and going forward with it. This was the first time I liked the lining up of her design choice with the meaning of the challenge. It packed a punch in the message without outright accusing all men and women of being aggressors. Another poster mentioned Melania's "I Don't Really Care Do You?" outfit and Tessa's was reminiscent of that look and subtle messaging.
The Melania jacket was subtle messaging?

My most hated commercial right now has to be Botox Cosmetics for millennials. There is more generational cliche and stereotype packed in one commercial that I've ever seen.

Is there some kind of requirement that the anchor of a crime show has to be overly dramatic?
Ashleigh Banfield relishes this crazy over the top persona.
I thought when Nancy Grace retired she would stay retired; not be reincarnated as Ashleigh Banfield. Disappointing.

Is this a joke? She's a young successful entrepreneur running an empire? Okay.

I don't know, Bravo kind of sucks now. When Runway started it was sort of an artsy network. I don't know what the hell it is now.

Alyssa was known for being sexy! She's posed nude at least once, she was a vampy character on Melrose Place. Even on Who's the Boss, she wasn't sexy (she was what, ten?) but as she aged, she blossomed, to use the word my grandmother would use.
As an aging male Gen X'er who "watched" "Embrace of the Vampire" more than once in the 90's I can attest to this.

Yes, at one time, you could actually learn something on this channel, before it became the morbidly obese channel.
Sometimes I wonder if this is the worst example of this happening or if its MTV. Music television my ass!

Lotta anger toward advertisements in this thread. Obviously, since that's the point. But the advertisers are really doing their jobs well. The point of advertisement is to create brand awareness by being memorable. And you can do that equally well by being either really creative or really obnoxious. It's basically trolling, but it works! I carry GEICO for my auto insurance, and before that I carried Progressive. I hate every ad those companies did, but they both stuck out the most in my brain.
If an ad pisses me off I go out of my way to stay away from that product or service. Even if it hurts. I hate trolls!

I just cannot imagine my WWII vet and career military grandfather referring to himself as a "warrior".
My father would just say he was doing what he had to do. "Warrior" never entered the vocabulary.

Who on this planet doesn't know that's a contraction for "fucking love"?
Totally inappropriate! I don't care if actual teens talk that way. It's vulgar, and running a commercial with it is just wrong.
I really didn't know that's what flove meant. I'm fucking old! Fold?

Spot on, Film Noire!
...a bikini under a burka would absolutely do the trick.
I admit that I don't have the most healthy or even accurate view of men sometimes, so take with a grain of salt, but there is a big part of me that thinks men often prefer the company of other men to that of women. If it weren't for procreation and sex in general (for those who prefer heterosexual sex), they'd get rid of women in a heartbeat.
Okay, I'm a heterosexual guy and I'd rather be with women. Men are real assholes these days. Maybe they always were.

In Memoriam: Entertainment Industry Celebrity Deaths

Thanks, I know this is off topic but sometimes I don't know if its the other person being erased but also your own identity.
