I didn’t get into The Smiths.

Thoroughly cosign this. I loved "Ghost in the Machine", still one of my favorites.

I was a punk rock chick at CBGBs in the late 70s (after being a Lou Reed and Velvet Underground fanatic since college) and pretty much continued that life into the early 80s. Plus Max’s, Danceteria, Mudd Club, Hurrah, Tier 3, Irving Plaza, the Ritz … in 1983 I broke up with my rich British new wave journalist boyfriend. (To date, our nearly 3 years together was my longest relationship! And he was my first real boyfriend. I’m 68 now. Something went terribly wrong …) I was also a fiction writer in 1983 and my book of short stories was published in 1986. Of course, I also had jobs … editorial, proofreading …

Ooh…sounds like an interesting boyfriend. Hope he wasn’t the Pred type.

I was a little kid in 1983 and loooved Duran Duran and The Eurythmics.  Oh, and Madonna.  And Cyndi Lauper. Mostly Duran Duran, though.  I think this was the first year I was really aware of Mtv and The Radio (I was 7) and how much I enjoyed listening to all the artists.

The other big music mechanisms were Casey Kasem’s American Top 40 and Friday Night Videos. Seems like your sweet dreams really were made of this after all.

I think Frankie should change his name so that he rhymes as well. They could be Abby , Gabby and Tabby  Flabby.

FTFY

they make me STABBY 

[sainte-chapelle]

Good night all…this 80s talk is bringing back a lot of memories. I need to create a playlist. You are reminding me of music I loved that was long forgotten…what a trip! Goodnight!

[Hotel Snarker]

Welp, this was a shitshow, but even better than last night’s with the reminiscing on 1983! It was super fun to do this with you all. I hope to see you once again for the final episode of the grueling slog on Pred. I NEED the new folks to dawn on us already! See you guys around the forums and enjoy your week. Peace out. ✌️

Ohhh I forgot about Duran Duran. I loved them too…and Cyndi Lauper and her odd manager guy ( totally forget his name) ….and The Eurythmics

Dave Wolff was his name. He was a huge fan of wrestling and that’s why Captain Lou Albano is in the iconic Girls Just Wanna Have Fun video.

My daughter says she admires Tears for Fears’ “Change”. She thinks it is very underrated. As for The Police, I was listening to Wrapped Around Your Finger minutes before logging on to prepare for the nothingness that is Frankie…

I am a late-comer to the shrine of ERASURE... Love them.

My daughter is OBSESSED with Erasure. She has a knack for “Oh L’Amour”.

I’ve certainly been thinking about it! Some “groupie” escapades too (of the punk, new wave/post punk variety, no stadium hair band types!).

Siouxsie and the Banshees is another great one. “Dear Prudence” is one of the best songs of 1983.

My favorite is “Every Little Thing She Does is Magic”. Soooo good!

Abby is a liar, pants on fire.  She totally planned to run off to the US.

Back. What was I thinking when I got a dog in the winter? Boots (with ice grippers), scarf, hat, gloves, down coat. Walk down the driveway about fifteen feet, then turn around and come back in the house and take it all off again.

If he's only going out for that short of a time, just the coat might be enough. Grippy boots if it's icy so he doesn't slip and throw out his back. 😜

Aryanna shows a glimmer of self awareness "Sherlon wants to get me off his back". Hee.

I dunno... she totally missed the red-flag clue that she even brought up. "Ever since I told Sherlon I was pregnant he started acting differently and distant" (or some such).

[Mr. Miner]

So, we're all suppose to believe the BD Johan took one look at dumpy little weirdo Daniele and knew that she was the woman he was going to marry?

Love works in mysterious ways. He could b facing pressure from his family and she was his most viable option. Wonder why these women don’t ask the tough questions of why is this guy so head over heels for me, if they think I have money, or what.

They are incapable of that level of critical thinking. It would be the first question most of us would ask ourselves. 
 

I think it was you, @Frozendiva who asked how my dog is doing. Happy to report that she’s totally won me over. She’s been really good for my physical and mental health. Still some tweaking to do and sorting things out, but overall, 🥰

 

[Red Bridey]

I must give Danielle credit: she looked lovely and age appropriate in her wedding attire. I also am quite jealous of her ability to get her thoughts across in Spanish. I can understand everything she says with my basic knowledge, so I should be able to speak it better. Probably it's because she speaks at a nice slow, clear pace and doesn't worry too much about verb tenses. She seems to always speak in the Now...not past or future so there's no conjugation (?) involved which always makes me tongue-tied.

[Hotel Snarker]

“I’m the kind of person who knows what she wants. I get what I want anyway.” (Danielle has entered the chat)

[Auntie Anxiety]

I made my decision. Game on! But as I am catching the last few minutes of last season, I’m rethinking this.🤔

[judylo]

A look at last season: The Two Tops!

Valentine, honey bunch. (No, I’m not taking precious seconds out of my time to spell out his stupid name)

[Auntie Anxiety]

I still don’t understand Valentine’s weird hairline’s back story. What’s up with that?

[Frozendiva]

I will re-evaluate after one ep.

[Pepper Mostly]

Hola peeps! I made it and I have my popcorn ready! 

[Hotel Snarker]

Okay, that one gal looks like Chantel…

[Pepper Mostly]

She's a doctor AND an entrepreneur! 

[Auntie Anxiety]

I’ve managed to keep my distance from Pedro’s family all these years, and now this? Fuck.

[kacesq]

Ah, my people! So glad I’m not the only one subjecting myself to this but Pedro’s mama…oy…

[Pepper Mostly]

Tick "lives on family farm" on your Bingo cards!

[kacesq]

Can this girl not fully open her eyes?

[Frozendiva]

We get a new state - Wyoming!

[Pepper Mostly]

Does this town have an ax throwing bar? That's what I want to know.

[Hotel Snarker]

Torrington. Looks like….nothing. Very cool.

[Suzywriter]

Hey, all!

I’m going to call bullshit on that even before we “meet” her.

[kacesq]

Quelle surprise…he’s a bartender!

[Pepper Mostly]

Wow. This place looks like someplace that I would never go. Ever. 

[kacesq]

He’s the hot one? Imma need to see the other bartenders…

[Pepper Mostly]

If Juan is the most beautiful man she's ever seen she needs to get out more.

[Frozendiva]

Cows are not far from my city.

[Pepper Mostly]

He throws that wink? He looks like he's having a stroke.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Don’t bury the lead. She’s a mental health counselor!

They’re the next town over from me.

THAT is the most beautiful man she’s ever seen? Girl, you definitely have been looking at too many cows.

[Suzywriter]

Last month, the ceiling of my enclosed porch collapsed. Fortunately, it's porch. I waited a month for the contractor to come finish pulling it down so that it can be rebuilt...and his truck died today. I so need this snark tonight. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

She’s dragging her young sons into this? I already hate her.

[kacesq]

Oh. She has kids. So I assume Juan is coming to the USA if they’re going to get married?

You are cursed.

[Pepper Mostly]

If my kid threw a snowball at me I'd kick his ass.

[Hotel Snarker]

She was different from every girl he’s ever met on a cruise?!?! What are the chances?!

[kacesq]

I’m so sorry @Suzywriter hope everything gets fixed pronto!
