Passion by Dior: Lance will help you score. Lol, probably not. He is lame and so is that tagline.

What on earth is a pasta faucet? That does not sound appetizing to me. The apartment was stunning though. I can't even imagine what it would cost.

I'm with Shelby. I was going to read The Sum of Us until I found out it was upwards of 400 pages. Say less, Ms. Author. Literally. Or say it more concisely.

A bidet for noodles! OMG, no. 🤮

When keeping it real goes wrong. Of course Shelby's housewives act was too wild for daytime talk TV.

Nah, Robyn, you have to put the safety of your daughter first. Society tends to criminalize Black children at earlier ages than other kids as it is. Don't make it easier.

Isn't Lance at least 50? How is he going to re-enter the NFL at his age?

I was curious about the pasta faucet myself but the closest thing that came up is a pot filler.    It's basically a faucet that is affixed over the stove and allows you to pour water for a pot directly in the stove w/o having to go the sink.    I guess I could see the benefit...LOL.

When Robyn said she liked being around her people in Harlem, I was like “Harlem is full of white people now, it’s gentrified AF.” I was glad Harper pointed that out. Also she talked about not wanting to move into a “multi-million-dollar brownstone” and I was thinking “you live in one now.”

I seriously thought Harper and Robyn were headed for divorce and then suddenly Robyn reads a paragraph and is all on Harper's side all of a sudden?  That is some writing!  LOL!

I’m finally getting back into these episodes. Robyn should’ve discussed with Harper if it was okay for Mia to go with her to demonstration and what to do when things when south. My Mom was in COLLEGE during the March on Washington and her parents discussed it- my grandfather had no problem with my grandmother going if it meant a lot to her, but he said he didn’t my Mother going because he didn’t know if it would safe or what may happen. Mia is what, 7 or 8? That’s a discussion they should’ve had before hand. 
 

I feel badly for Lance, but he has kids to raise. His oldest is still in HS, he needs to deal with his feelings and parent them, not keep chasing the past when Mia was alive.
