They will miss a lot of happenings in August. That was the very first thing they discussed, right after giving their condolences about Herman Cain.

Haleth July 31, 2020 Share July 31, 2020 1 hour ago, lusinia said: Are we sure this wasn't the pre-taped show? The announcer didn't say the show was live, just new. According to the guest lineup on page 1 of this week's thread, Kerry Washington and the lawyer from the ACLU were scheduled to be on today. It looks like they switched Miss Piggy to today, bumped Judy Gold off, and had Joy mention her book instead. Yes, the show we saw today was taped yesterday but was preempted by the funeral. At the very beginning there was a banner that said it was prerecorded. I’m assuming they taped a second show yesterday (or maybe Wed) that was intended to be shown today. That one will probably be shown over the break as Fri shows generally don’t delve much into hot topics and can be shown anytime. 26 minutes ago, suomi said: I was born in Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital in El Lay in 1950.

One of her classmates was a Thalidomide victim; samples of the drug were handed out to pregnant mothers experiencing nausea. I hear that. My old photos show nearly everyone in the frame holding a cigarette. My parents divorced early so I have few good photos of them together. My favorite shows them on the day they married in Vegas, both in snappy suits holding a cig. The vintage commercials on youtube are an eye-opener. One from 1949 informs that More Doctors Smoke Camels Than Any Other Cigarette and a doctor in a lab coat suggests that you should See How Camels Agree With Your Throat. I think the influence of commercials like those and the prevalence of smoking in movies and TV over many generations cannot be overstated. Role models and heroes were puffing away everywhere. We floved candy cigarettes and would imitate our parents by holding them carefully as they "burned down." Today's cinnamon nicotine lozenges have the same taste and texture when they melt in your mouth. Freaky. Thalidomide, also prescribed to prevent miscarriage, was an enormous worldwide tragedy. It also caused high rates of vaginal and cervical cancers in the daughters and even the granddaughters of the women who took it. I've always said a better technology would quickly appear if it was discovered that men needed to have their scrotums subjected to the 42 pounds of pressure a mammogram machine applies. (22 pounds of pressure is required to rupture a tumor in a breast and allow malignant cells to spread). MM should use her "power" for good and jump into causes like women's healthcare. It's a shame that she wastes her national platform on partisan stances that she mistakenly believes are impressive. She shits on her opportunity to build an authentic reputation while being paid to do it. Doesn't get much better than that. 15 minutes ago, heysmilinstrange said: Wow, and didn't offer you one, too?

There are things that can be difficult to follow, especially if you have a full-time job that's not political and other things going on in your life. The mask issue is not one of them. Almost everyone I know understood that at first there were concerns about the people who need the masks most not being able to obtain them. Once that was no longer a concern, the advice changed. How do people who have nonpolitical/news jobs, who have children, tons of responsibilities, may not even follow news super closely, all get this, but Meghan whose job revolves around discussion of these topics somehow doesn't? There was no trial to watch every day. There weren't books she had to read. There weren't multiple networks she had to watch to get the real facts. Maybe she knows but wants to pretend otherwise due to Dr. Fauci not being part of her tribe? Either way, it's annoying, and I too wish one of the ladies would address this already.

Almost everyone I know understood that at first there were concerns about the people who need the masks most not being able to obtain them. Once that was no longer a concern, the advice changed. I am so tired of the Princess of Arizona lying about this issue. At the start of the quarantine, there was an extreme shortage of PPEs for hospital staff and first responders. There were people buying up PPEs (and toilet paper) and were hoarding them. That is when medical experts pleaded with the public to stop this so our medical staff and first responders could be protected. We were advised to stay in quarantine and wear a reusable cloth masks when we had to go out in public. People then began sewing their own masks for themselves, their neighbors and their communities. The medical experts never said that masks were not effective. It was the fact that hospital workers and first responders were at high risk and if they got sick, there would be no one left to care for the people who became ill after the initial outbreak of the virus. I know you all know this but Meghan and some members of her tribe do not seem to get it, or worse, they don't care and are spreading lies to gain votes for their team. Either way Meghan needs to be fired from The View for spreading such dangerous misinformation. 16 Link to comment

LetsStartTalking August 2, 2020 Share August 2, 2020 (edited) So that was the last episode of the season ? I was waiting for an ALL NEW "VIEW YOUR DEAL' to kick off my summer weekend ! Where was it ? Good riddance to a God-awful season (IMO). Why they tried so hard to morph this show into QVC or HSN this past season, is beyond me. Then when COVID hit, they tried to guilt-trip their viewers (who were now unemployed or under employed) to buy garbage from desperate small business owners who started their dreary plea for help with 'The pandemic has hit us really hard...' Maybe they should have applied for the small business programs given out by the feds and their local state government ? Maybe THE VIEW could have helped each small business owner that way with a financial adviser, rather than have them beg for sales ? Just came off so rather cheesy to me. Then there was the usual mumble-grumble with each other (Thanks MeAgain) that often took away from the conversation itself. It only got worse when Abby left, and the four were left to their own devices. I missed them doing a live show on Fridays with Joy as the moderator and Anna filling in - I guess MeAgain took care of that for everyone. And since March, the 'View from Home' has been a train wreck. And as much as I like Sunny over the past few years (she's grown on me) is it necessary for her to talk about every black or Latino notable (doctor, politician, actor, actress, journalist, lawyer, author) with the preface "I know him / her very well...." ? For the sake of brevity, Sunny, we will go out on a limb and make the presumption you know the person being discussed in 'Hot Topics' very well. If you don't - surprise us ! Preface with, "You're not going to believe this, but I don't know this Latina politician very well'. If there was one stand-out for me, a must-see TV moment which will live on forever - it was the day Michigan Governor Whitmer was on, and her video / audio froze just when Meghan was being her petulant self. Whitmer was frozen in time, just giving her the 'death stare' like a Disney Ice Princess - and a few seconds went by (am eternity on live TV) before they realized she wasn't staring her down, she was actually frozen in time. Whitmer deserves an Emmy. Or her Internet provider does... See you all in September for Season 24. What I will do without the ability to buy Oprah's favorite sunglasses, sarongs, beach bags, self-cleaning beach towels and sunscreen for the rest of the summer - I just don't know. Wish me luck !

deirdra August 2, 2020 Share August 2, 2020 (edited) In ~1977 I had a professor who smoked while lecturing and flames started coming out of the metal wastebasket. He grabbed a large book, laid it on top of the wastebasket, cutting off the oxygen & putting out the fire. He kept on lecturing as if nothing had happened, without missing a beat. Later I thought he may have staged it to look cool (did he intentionally bring the correct-sized book?), but it could just have been that there was no ashtray on the lectern.

You used to not be able to tell by looking at her, but this last couple of days....i don't know if it was the type of blouse/collar that made the emphasis, but i noticed her breast(es) have suddenly gotten huge. They're sitting just under her chin. Definitely preggy. I'm sorry for the personal comment. Said with all due respect of course. Yeah i can add i have the exact same problem, but no pregnancy to blame it on lol. Just liked the eating for 2 part so much i never quit. LOL It's so hard being a busty conservative woman! Gotta order not only the crib but custom made nursing bras! 4 Link to comment
