90DF Live Chat 3: I Gave Up Everything To Be Here

[greekmom]

And where the heck did Amiee the interpreter learn ASL?

And why can't they just pay her when David leaves for Sheila to learn ASL?

Languages are hard. 

I feel like its having to learn two languages on top of your native. First learn English, then learn to sign in English. Not an easy feat.

I stopped watching SW about 5 years ago, but picked up again when they all started dumping Kody.

I think you can easily find a FWB online if you describe what you are looking for and are specific about "no married men, no men who are living with a GF." Just an available single or divorced guy who'd like to get together casually sometimes. I  wish you luck in deciding. From what I've seen many times, at least one person and sometimes more get hurt in the vision you describe, which also commonly gets found out by the spouse or partner.

It really has been delicious. Kody's seething rage makes my heart sing. Douchebag.

Hi all! Sorry I missed the first hour. Simone Biles was on! Did I miss anything in the 90 day world? Haha.

Amiee was able to sign in ASL and speak  to Sheila in their native language.

Oh puhleeze. Razvan just isn’t what you want or who you expected. Find yourself another older dude who will pay your way and keep you in Botox. 

Also Razvan? You are not that good an actor because you clearly are more upset about losing your ticket to America than losing Amanda.

I agree with all of this. While Amanda is like an immature, like totally annoying dumbass who like never had any intention of like making it work with Razvan, Razvan is missing the point (she was right) when he declared he’s never asked anyone for anything. He doesn’t understand that he’s not going to be an A list star the moment he gets to the US.

But she has to double translate.  Think of the word in English and then think of how to sign it.

That's why David really needs to cut her some slack. If it's important to him for her to learn ASL, he needs to be patient and spend time teaching her.

Languages are hard. 

It's an added step, like speaking two new languages at once. She would have to translate in her head first to English and then to sign language. Similar to non-Western languages. It's easier to learn to speak Japanese, say, than to read it.

Not exactly. Sheila has to translate what she wants to say first from Cebuano into English then sign it.

Yes, this is my concern as well. I mean, could become a Candy Montgomery situation.

I want a friend around and to end this dry spell.  He and his wife have a long term  snarky, antagonistic relationship, but they both have too much to lose financially and socially to divorce. The kids are 40 and 31 and everybody is married or careered up.

I'm considering it because I need to prime the pump. I tend to be invisible; 3 years without a date, 4 years divorced from the swivel-eyed dick that I married in 2013.  I'm thinking this will be fun, and he lives 300 miles away so won't be dropping in. 

As for his wife, we know each other. She's...difficult. I'm not just taking his word for it. I wouldn't consider someone who had a nice wife at home who would be hurt.  If I'm in his state, he, maybe some other friends and I get together for dinner or drinks. Wife chooses not to come. 

BTW, we met in the 5th grade, so we've known each other casually for what, 52 years? 

You have known each other a very long time.  Is this just coming up now or was there always sexual tension between you ? Sex can complicate things. Do you think this will affect your relationship/friendship ? What will happen if his wife or perhaps some common friends find out? At the end of the day you need t9 be true to yourself and do what you feel is best. I would look for someone more emotionally available who can give you the attention you deserve.

Aimee ain’t got nothing going on.  No kid, no aging parents, probably no dilapidated house.  She probably had plenty of time to learn. 🤣

Meisha, is this really the man you want to be with for the rest of your life? Come on now.

Nicola and Riley should have a support group. They're both a pair of gaslighting assholes. They could get together and have coffee and talk about how women are such bitches amirite?

The priests at his church draw straws to see who'll have to listen to Nicola's confession. "Aw come on! I had to hear his endless pedantic droning last week!"

Be safe and run…run like Riley is offering you an engagement ring

[Mrs. Landingham]

Saints preserve us! MEISHA, WAKE UP. I am sick to the back teeth of her simpering and wondering whhhhyyyyy Neee-cole-uhhh isn’t being nice. Lady, I beg you. Leave. Go home. Neee-cole-uhhh is a hateful, disrespectful piece of trash. 
 

p.s. Neee-cole-uhhh, absolutely nobody gives two tiny mouse shits where you fished, okay? You are ugly and utterly boring and a zealot.

Going to be seeing my West Coast grandkids later this week. Been a long, long time. They are coming East for my son’s annual guy’s (and now family’s) weekend. They started this, every Labor Day Weekend, at the end of high school and now they are all turning 40.

And he'd make her jump through endless hoops to make sure she's "worthy" of an actual engagement ring.

I had a yummy salad with fresh romaine we got from the farm and tomatoes from my tomato plant. Houseguest is in New Orleans for a week and I have been lounging with great dedication. 

[greekmom]

Seriously.

Does this idiot ever stop complaining?

[Auntie Anxiety]

If Riley lost some of that dead weight, he might sweat less. Just saying.

[Mrs. Landingham]

Can Riley stop being so damn SHOUTY? I hate this guy. I actually hate him so much.
