Me and Mr Moldova are downsizing and moving to a loft downtown on Thursday. I am more stressed than I thought. Lotsa memories in this house. 16 years worth, but I gotta get out of the burbs

That? Is AWESOME! Huge step and I'm sure its a wrench but you will have a lot of fun!

Moving to anything, anywhere is stressful, but sounds exciting too!

Oh my god, that sounds too intense for me. I love memoirs about crazy childhoods, but wowza. I read "I'm Glad My Mom Died" by Jennette McCurdy and holy moly. I'm about to start "Alias Grace" by Margaret Atwood. I saw the show a few years ago. 

How do you get a contract for a crazy childhood and adulthood book? I could make a fortune! Do I have to become famous first. 

[Zombness]

You go Jennie, put Ed in his place...

[Gobi]

"I gave up everything to be here, except my turn!"

[Auntie Anxiety]

Bock BOCK! You shut up. No, YOU shut up! Brings back memories of the recess in  elementary school.

[Angry Moldovan]

Go get him Granny. Smack the sex tourist right in his scrambled egg face

Best of luck @Doublemint and @Angry Moldovan. Medical procedures and moving are both super stressful!

Thank you - I'm living for Jenny right now!  Woo Hoo!!  

[Frozendiva]

Ed, keep your unwanted thoughts to yourself.

I already posted this in the Love in Paradise thread on Monday, but a lot of you guys here may not have seen it.

My daughter’s school is celebrating a math teacher who goes above and beyond to educate his students with such energy, passion, and conviction, leading to a deeper appreciation for numbers. The teacher was born in 1983, and my daughter is curious. She wants to know from you guys: “Give me a virtual time machine. Tell me all your memories from 1983, from music to pop culture to TV shows to commercials to school life to toys to fashion, etc…”

Duran Duran and lot of neon 

[Suzywriter]

Gooooo Jenny!!!

[Eldemarge]

In Ed's mind, it's always "his turn," but everyone else has to shut up.

Sorry hunny, this is not the Ed Show, no matter how many stupid stickers you make of your face.

Actually, the book is about a family in the 70’s, I think, before schizophrenia was well understood. Read like a novel.

[Hotel Snarker]

Get him, Jenny! Roast Pred! Roast Pred!

[Pepper Mostly]

@Doublemint I had a colonoscopy a few years back (far enough back that my doctor is making noises about scheduling another). I'd heard so much about how horrible the prep is but it really wasn't that bad. And the procedure? I was out cold and never felt a thing. You'll do great. 

[Doublemint]

Best of luck @Angry Moldovan it's great when you can follow your dream.  Next stop is Bondi Beach?

I didn’t think it was too bad either.

A colonoscopy can't be worse than this show.

Every Duranie had at least one poster of those handsome dudes in their bedroom, I’m sure. My daughter digs new wave/synthpop music and loves them a lot.

That’s appropriate for Ed because he’s emotionally stuck in middle school.

Ed has had HIS turn every damn week 

Time for the other guys to shove him in a locker.

In Yara’s défense …not that I am a fan….I think this may be cultural. I know many Eastern European grandparents who drop everything to care for the grandkids. 

Yara has flat out said this on more than one occasion. It’s likely a HUGE factor in her wanting to live with/near her mother In the Czech Republic. I believe her mom even dangled it out there as a big reason for her to stay. 

[Angry Moldovan]

WTF USMAN, back to the small Ed pile on

[Frozendiva]

Usman is right about Yara’s friends.

[sainte-chapelle]

If Shaun did her job then Ed would not still be yapping.

How exciting!  I would love that!  Loft, downtown, ……..sounds awesome!  

[Hotel Snarker]

I don’t generally encourage violence but for Pred I am making an exception. Please someone. Anyone. Throw him. Someone go full Bundy on him. PLEASE.

I've read a lot of crazy childhood memoirs that weren't by famous people! Just start writing, maybe self publish. A friend of mine who's a well known musician on the local scene is writing his memoirs now. Its called "Brushes with Greatness" because he's worked/toured/played with a lot of famous people. (I get a shoutout too! So does my husband, who played with him for a while) He's self published and it sells well. I keep telling him he should shop it around to agents and see if he can get a co-writer to polish it up a bit. I bet it would sell.

I had a colonoscopy about 5 or six years ago, but due to the narrowing of my intestine as a result of radiation for cervical cancer, the instrument couldn’t make a turn to get to were to needed to go. Thus, the next day I had to have a barium enema at the hospital. They put you on a table and move you around to get the barium into your gut/colon. It was like medieval torture. Never doing that again.

[Frozendiva]

This is it?

[Doublemint]

Shawn speaks!  " I think you all need to calm down"  just what we needed to hear.

[Gobi]

What just happened?

[SunnyBeBe]

This fake fighting is ridiculous.  I don’t think it went the way they were hoping,  lol.

Allll good ideas, and thanks for the vote of confidence.

It's pretty easy to self publish on amazon.

You know we all rag on Andrei but I like him.  The guy stayed home for baby 1 and was Mr. Mom while Libby worked.

This behind-the-scenes stuff is so authentic.

[LEILANI2]

The tell nothing was only one hour? 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Now another hour of the contestants hanging out on NYC being ridiculous? There’s nothing worse than insipid AND boring.

[sainte-chapelle]

OMG so what will they be doing for another hour? Drinking together?
