RealReality June 27, 2020 Share June 27, 2020 I think the bracelets look nice enough. I'm not much of a jewelry person because it's too much to coordinate. But it looks like what people who wear peasant skirts could get away with. Never underestimate the power of people wanting to support a cause. I used to pay for a premium soap brand partially because it was made by and the proceeds help to eradicate sex trafficking victims in Nepal I think? Or another country. The soap was good, but I choose them out of like 50 brands because I was happy to support the cause, and I needed soap. Now I make my own soap, so I support no one (though I'll likely donate my soaps to a shelter) Anyways, tl;dr....the story might help sell some bracelets. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/106653-ed-and-rosemarie-the-long-and-the-short-of-it/page/11/#findComment-6202457

Looks like some cheap glass or plastic beads and twine, they must cost next to nothing to make and don't look like they require a lot of skill, so why can't local women be doing the work? Rose probably buys them from Thailand (maybe sourced from her Flip Flop Store vendor) for pennies, and then plans to sell them at a comparatively large profit while claiming a portion of sales will go to "local single mothers" in her country. Hmmmm. We've seen 90 Day-ers doing this before, using their exposure on the show to sell things online. Darcey, Nicole and Tania come to mind right now, I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.

That is not directed at the person who used the term, which is why I'm not quoting it, I'm just struck by the fact my life experience being in and working with people living in poverty isn't as average as I thought it was. Her home was clean and the living areas were neat, just small. I couldn't handle the video because of her voice. I suffer from hearing loss, which results in recorded voices having a bit of a squeal to them, especially when the octave is high like Rose's in that video and Annie on Pillow Talk.

She was very proud of her changes. She also seems so proud of her son. She washed her clothes by hands with a smile. I bet Ed could not do this once. It did not bother her a bit, she smiled and talked and washed every item by hand, rinsed and softened by hand. After that I will not complain when my washing machine gets load because I do not even the load. Also not to justify Asuleo but I can see if all he has ever seen is his grandma washing by hand everything piece of clothes in his hut and then sees Kalini throw a load int he washer and press a button, how he sees this as easy. It is probably coming off wrong. We had neighbors from Vietnam and they had their 6 year old do his laundry. Some neighbors said that is too young , almost were saying abuse. The mom explained she would walk miles to a river and do it by hand in Vietnam and she did not understand how her son putting clothes in a machine and pressing a button was hard or something meant for only older kids. She kept saying all you do is press a button over and over to the neighbors. 15 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/106653-ed-and-rosemarie-the-long-and-the-short-of-it/page/11/#findComment-6217769

mamadrama July 7, 2020 Share July 7, 2020 Ed: that's not fair, I have a medical condition that causes that!!! Also Ed: Rose's breath is awful. Have I told you how awful it was? It was really, really awful.

It’s an old joke from the Depression/WWII generation “We had to walk six miles to school uphill both ways through snow and Jerry machine gun fire.” I heard it all the time as a kid. Followed usually by something like “And you won’t mow the lawn.” Edited July 7, 2020 by Gobi 1 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/106653-ed-and-rosemarie-the-long-and-the-short-of-it/page/11/#findComment-6218672

endure July 7, 2020 Share July 7, 2020 On 7/3/2020 at 12:56 PM, Scout Finch said: The shade was mild. Looking at her house through my spoiled U.S. eyes I just see extreme squalor. Yet, she's as proud as anyone doing an Architectural Digest tour of their home. She's so happy and pleased with her surroundings, so I have an even clearer understanding now of how Ed's reactions must have stung. I admit that I would feel just as uncomfortable as Ed but I wouldn't look down on her like he did. It's difficult not to sound like I'm being condescending in an "oh, look, the poor girl is so proud, bless her heart." Why shouldn't she? If my privileged ass was giving a tour of the cheap but nice two-bedroom, two-floor townhouse that I rent and live in alone, I'd be making excuses about stupid shit like the old kitchen cabinets. My place is like a freakin' mansion in comparison and even the trailer houses I grew up in were well-kept by my mom, but I rarely ever stop to appreciate the standard of living I have simply because I happened to be born in this country. I though she seemed very animated to the point of being ridiculous - I find her extremely annoying. 1 minute ago, endure said: I thought she seemed very animated to the point of being ridiculous - I find her extremely annoying. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/106653-ed-and-rosemarie-the-long-and-the-short-of-it/page/11/#findComment-6218778
