When I worked at Tufts I was inches from the theater district, so I could just saunter up to the box office and buy tickets, no extra fees, surcharges, service fees.....Now it's impossible. It's infuriating. Oh, see? Amber is a saint. She spends her whole life caring for OTHERS. She is the image of selflessness. Yup. Honestly ticketmaster us such a racket. I started seeing our college productions because they were so much cheaper. But some of them were slightly weird. 1 1 Link to comment

Hellga May 2 Share May 2 It's a sad story that she had some kind of abusive relationship when she was so young, but seriously, if she was bad enough to need weight loss surgery at 16, the underlying issue is way older than that and her food issues are probably lifelong... 1 Link to comment

Pepper Mostly May 2 Share May 2 Bingo! There it is. Amber feels like this is Nathan's thing, not hers. She never really wanted to lose weight. Though she did want to snipe at Nathan about his. Wait, rock climbing? No ax throwing bars in this burg? 2 Link to comment

I saw a comedy in 2022 that I liked, but last year I saw Julius Caesar, and it was so inappropriately hilarious when a teenage girl in pigtails was trying to deliver the monologue full of high pathos and almost crossing into ultrasound in her excitement... I will go again this summer! :) There are a lot of small amateur and semi-professional theater companies in Massachusetts, some are pretty decent, some are... interesting. I should branch out more... 1 1 Link to comment

The vibe also didn't work for me, the whole premise of the show, and I didn't connect with the music, so overall I say it was me connecting with the zeitgeist, so it was still worth it. I absolutely loved Hamilton! For me, it more than lived up to the hype. I have the music on my phone and I have many favorite songs. 2 1 Link to comment

Pi237 May 2 Share May 2 A note about the clothes - it's extremely difficult to find plus sized clothing that isnt made with some spandex or thin synthetic material, especially shirts. You can keep going up sizes and they'll get longer, but still stick tight against your body. That orange shirt was a Prime example. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment
Hellga May 2 Share May 2 (edited) I bet Amber lost. 5 whopping pounds!!! Wonder if they will make it to where she weighs three times more than him by the end of the hour! Edited May 2 by Hellga Link to comment
Auntie Anxiety May 2 Share May 2 So Dr. Web, MD says I have GERD. I read up and ate a GERD dinner tonight and I’m not burping the night away. Smallish salad, some salmon, a slice of whole wheat bread and unsweetened iced tea. Ordered a wedge pillow. Will let you know how it goes. 2 6 Link to comment

Do you mean Actor's Shakespeare Project? I used to work with Paula Plum, years ago, and I dated her brother. The Greater Boston Stage in Stoneham is very good, and the tickets are cheap.

Hellga May 2 Share May 2 I underestimated her hard work and dedication. *8* pounds! Twice as much progress as before, and all in the right direction! 5 Link to comment

The fabric and workmanship is usually awful, and the clothes frumpy. I love eshakti.com, you can customize to your measurements and pick length, sleeve, neckline style, the fabrics are good and they're well made and affordable. 2 1 Link to comment

Stoneham is way out of the way for me but I will keep that in mind! I just googled and the official name is Apprentice Rep Company. This summer it will be Two Noble Kinsmen and Richard II. Plus, of course, the Winter's Tale as the big show on Boston Commons. 1 Link to comment

CrazyInAlabama May 2 Share May 2 (edited) I love that Nathan is having a better relationship with his daughter. I love that he's determined to climb to the top of the wall. I'm worried about Amber. She seems very depressed to me. And here finally admitting abuse is so brave. However, does she really fear having a sexual relationship, or does she think everything will change and she won't be safe? I hate that so many of the poundticipants have been abused. They're both in the front seat of their van! Nathan's weigh in -272 then, now 251. Amber's weigh in-was 456, this month 448, down 8 lbs. At least she's not wearing that shirt with the heart on it again. I'm hoping that Nathan isn't going to be like Allen of Vianey and Allen, where he qualified for skin removal, and she pitched a fit, so he didn't have it. (R.I.P. Vianey). I think Dr. Now is going to keep trying with Amber, because he realizes that if Amber is kicked out, Nathan probably will be forced to choose between his wife, and his health.

Hellga May 2 Share May 2 Yea I think it's much more likely that Amber will drag Nathan down to her level than he will lift her up to success... That would be such a waste of his and Dr. Now's effort... Since this actual show was filmed years ago - I hope we get a shoutout to 2023 at least!!! I want to know where they are now! 3 Link to comment

They are gorgeous. I have an order in for 2 outfits for events in the fall. They are slow so even though they say a few weeks, its more like a few months. I bought a dress off the rack and by the time I had it tailored it doubled the price. Eshakti customs it for you for a pittance. 1 1 2 Link to comment
