Season 12: Live Chat

[Pepper Mostly]

Yes Amber, those ropes are "different". Different from sitting slack jawed in a smelly recliner, shoveling down tacos and ice cream. 

[lemoncake]

Exercise is great but without the diet its not going to help

[Chicklet]

I had a boring high school, only went to my 5th reunion and nobody knew who I was, but being nerdly, I didn't really care.

[mmecorday]

Since we're talking about May-December relationships, when my uncle was in his early 20s, he began dating a divorcee 14 years his senior. This was in the late 1970s. She had three kids from her first marriage, one who was my age and two who were older. One day my uncle just up and married this woman before the justice of the peace. They are still married today. Now here's the funny part -- the older woman's name was Mrs. Robinson!

You have stories, @lemoncake, I can tell. 

If memory serves, @lemoncake provided us with endless entertainment with her tales of a redneck wedding. She's got stories all right. 

[babyhouseman]

I was a goody two shoes in high school so if there were scandals, I didn't know it.

Nathan pings my gaydar.

Could just be drama teacher signals. Similar frequencies.  Oft confused.  I would imagine it takes hetero vibes to rub her feet.  Just thinking out loud here.

She is actually capable of having a non-bitchy expression?  At the gym, at least?  Let's see if this 'pushing' will actually mean not gaining for a change...

The empty gym, mind you. My gym has a group of middle aged guys who yell swole at each other while playing a boom box instead of using ear buds. If my looks could kill, they all be dead

I wonder if any of the poundticipants keep a journal of what they eat.

I once went to Taco Bell right after going to the gym. Didn't return to the gym again for a while after that. 

[Hellga]

OK, eating habit will be bad tonight.  Frozen calamari (breaded, sigh) in the oven and reheating leftover mac & cheese.    And grapes for dessert, naturally.

We had an English teacher who was having an affair with one of his students, a junior. He was married to the sister of the school committee chairman. When the girl graduated, he divorced his wife and married her. He did not lose his job. We also had a teacher, a lesbian, who had a long standing attachment to a student. Took her places, bought her gifts. When that ended she had another relationship with another student, who moved in with her after she graduated. 

This sounds a lot like my high school. Never a dull semester!

I mean, I graduated in the 80s, and one of our teachers got a 9th grader pregnant and kept his job, so yeah.  But on a lighter note, yes, we also would have had a field day with this sishuashun.

I had a 4 year thing with my ethics professor, but I was 49 and he was around the same, so I think that flies. The ethics part was amusing, though.

Yup. That wedding was epic. Hoping for some high school reunion crazy

Dr. Now will be hacking away.

[Chicklet]

He left suspenders on under his gown. Holy crap.

[Hellga]

She is giggling.  Did she start on a psychoactive medication, have a change of heart, or is she hoping something goes wrong during his surgery???

Things were different in the 80s. Theres some documentary out there about a high school in the 80s  where the teachers routinely sleeping with the students

I went to my fifth, and brought my boyfriend, who was from a different town and didn't know any of the folks from my HS. He had a blast, people would come up to him and be "Hey......" and he'd stick out his hand and go "Hey! It's Steve!" and there would be handshaking and general bonhomie. "Steve! How are you man? Great to see you!" Snerk. I laughed and laughed and got absolutely smashed.

I tried salsa dancing once. The instructor just gave up with me, I have ZERO rhythm. Funny thing is, I did marching band for 4 years in high school.

Yup. I do. The university i retired from 3 years ago was featured on the front page of a national newspaper because of the tear gassing of pro Palestinian protesters. Its finals week so we normally would bring puppies on campus for the kids to pet to alleviate stress. Not this. SMH. 

I absolutely can not understand this craziness 

Well, yes I can. Kent State. 

Right.  No politics here please lest the ... nevermind

Sadly several guys asked where I was in HS because I was cute now. Thanks dudes. Maybe it was the CTE from playing footballs, I don't know.

Time to weigh the mass.  after Dr Now plays with it.

We lived near Kent State at the time. I was 9. My parents were convinced that crazy hippies were gonna come kill us all. Lol

[CrazyInAlabama]

I'm suspicous about Amber being so freaking happy while Dr. Now is removing her husband's lymphedema.  

So, 9 lbs off with the removal, but a few more in fluid, so 15 lbs off. 

[Suzywriter]

Why are there always 20 roach clips hanging off the removed part?

[MsVixen]

For a while there, I thought Dr. Now was looking at the mass as if he was wondering how to spice it up and eat it......

[OoogleEyes]

Right? We would have had a field day with that in my high school. Though of course I graduated in 1972, and the things that happened then that we thought nothing of are actual crimes now. 

The cops brought our drunken teen aged asses home

I think I would like ballrooom dancing if I looked like Penny from Dirty Dancing.

At my graduation, one of my classmates was hugely pregnant. Best part? Her last name was Virgin. Imagine the ripple that ran through the crowd when "Firstname Middlename VIRGIN" was announced, and hugely pregnant classmate hoisted herself onstage.

My surgeon from last year's gall bladder surgery seemed startled when he said the gall bladder was coming out, and he said Da Vinci and I was enthusiastic about it.  Fortunately, I could have a closed procedure. 

 It was so amazing to have that technology, and avoid the open procedure.   He understood when I said I watched this show, and knew all about Da VIncis and how great they are.  When I explained I was a retired reference librarian, he understood I was going to be a know-it-all patient too.

Nathan looks great

Orange is not a style!  

And something tells me orange is not his color even if he likes it...

My friend brought her college boyfriend to our 5th, which was raucous fun. We were leaving the venue and watching more than one person puke in the bushes outside.  He turned to her and said, "Well, all this time, I thought you came from this fancy town. This night has been illuminating." 😂😂 They are still together, 30 years later.

[mmecorday]

Store clerk: Are you looking for any certain style?

Nathan: I like orange.

Guesses on the spring production at Nathan's school. 

 

Little shop of Horrors

Rent

Suessical 

Those are my guesses

My experience at my 50th college reunion was when I showed my then class picture to an athlete who was being honored and he stared at the picture for the longest.  
 

He said " You were CUTE!!!!  How did you get past me?"

My thought was "What's with this Were Shit?"

[mk828]

So is it just me, or is anyone else feel like we're watching a real life Peter Griffin in front of us with Nathan???

Its his favorite part! He always looks so pleased.

I think he looks like an overstuffed sausage.  You don't need to wear skin-tight at 2X even if it's really impressive coming down from 9X!!!

It requires far too much left right backward forward in sync with a stranger. It's not dancing, it's a damned sport.

[LizzyB]

Amber is SO passive aggressive. Telling him that sausage skin shirt looks good on him. Puhleeze. We have eyes.
