Season 12: Live Chat

[MsVixen]

I think that particular Progressive commercial is unfunny.  Boy's date for the prom isn't there and didn't inform him of the change is cruel....

[Pepper Mostly]

Anyone have any anecdotes? I'm bored to tears. 

I bought a bunch of herb plants and a rose bush and a hydrangea, potted them up and have the beginnings of a lovely container garden on my porch. Today I did the cook for my mother, (roasted red pepper and tomato soup, and braised lemon butter chicken with potatoes). I have had a headache all day. I blame pollen. 

What have you all been up to? @MagicEyes, have things improved since Monday? As I recall you were having a bit of a day.

Syreeta will be able to breastfeed an entire maternity ward with those bazongas. Probably she'll bottle feed that baby though 🤷.

We don't want the baby getting lost in the bra.

[Pepper Mostly]

Dude. WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE TO DO?? 

[OoogleEyes]

What a depressing house. Damn.

[Chicklet]

Treatment for what in Florida? 

[Pepper Mostly]

Every single thing she says is code for "Screw the diet". 

[MsVixen]

I have a story that is way off topic but still follows the rules of snarking on a tv episode.

Have any of you watched the show "La Brea"?  On one of the first shows,  a character was captured by an extraordinarily large snake.  She was rescued when one of the heroes jumped into the water and managed to shoot the snake.

I told the group, "If the snake is dead, they ought to retrieve the carcass for food.  We Louisianians would, at least, try to fry that sucker!  We are BIG Proponents of not going hungry."

I missed that, too. Something about cancer cells killed her last baby?

[Chicklet]

She had a molar pregnancy and she didn't understand what that was, it sounds like, and hopefully she is actually seeing a doctor this time.

She had a molar pregnancy. Jen Arnold from the Little Couple show had one. It's rare. It's always a miscarriage.

[Red Bridey]

I have a long list of tasks to do this week, but am working through them little by little. Got my hair "rejuvenated" today and had my eyebrows darkened (otherwise they don't exist) and I look mah-vellious! Went to the Y in a little skirt and noticed for the first time that my legs are spectacular! I always wear tights and my house mirrors are all above the waist so I never noticed! Yay me! Looking forward to shorts, skirts and skorts this summer.

Fat pregnancy?

[mmecorday]

Oh jeez. I thought he said, "I eat a lot of rats."

[Suzywriter]

Anecdote: my daughter who declared me toxic 11 years ago and has has zero contact, sent me a text. It said "Hi, Mom."

That van is awful. What happened to him getting a job? Flatbreads are not on his diet so this surgery is doomed.

[Red Bridey]

What a crazy filming technique in that convenience store. 

[mmecorday]

What a psychedelic store that is!

[Pi237]

This blurring is wild. I feel high, now.

[katycat74]

Jeez, I thought my eyes were failing for a second.  Blurry everything, yikes!

[babyhouseman]

How to live in a van,  a new TLC show.

[Hellga]

Surely even the van life can allow for healthier eating?  You don't have to just buy junk if you have access to a public microwave at least...

Mean is in style.

[Pi237]

Ah, damn. My heart breaks for her. 

[babyhouseman]

I think they're blurring product names. 

[OoogleEyes]

Next is BOTCHED BARIATRICS. Sweet baby swiss cheeses, TLC

Serious question: where would one find a public microwave?

[Hellga]

Syreeta, losing a couple hundred pounds would sure make it easier for your body to sustain a healthy pregnancy...

It's kind of interesting

[Chicklet]

Labor pains killed her baby? That's something I haven't heard before.

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh damn, Syreeta. That's tough.

A lot of bigger rest stops and gas stations aka truck stops have them.   

And, surprisingly, some public libraries - the bigger ones that also host events like movie nights or town meetings.

Is this good or bad? Did you respond?

[Pi237]

I get stress eating, trust me-know All about it-but when they say they ‘took a break from the program’ I’m like-dude-the program is basically not eating crap. Just not eating processed food would help these huge people lose weight and doesn’t require so much effort you need to take time off of it lol

[babyhouseman]

I've never seen that kind of beach workout.

It's good. We have texted, like strangers just meeting. We haven't talked about The Reason yet. Still, I have a family member again.

That's great, friend. I'm happy for you!

He's out of the van.

That broke my heart. She was in the home stretch.

[MsVixen]

Refresh my memory, Pounders.  Do the patients continue to roll from side to side when they walk after the surgery?

[Pi237]

Wow he made it to surgery. Didn’t see that coming. 

[Hellga]

I opened a beer for the first time since the winter holiday break, I think.  In honor of the first hot day of the year, because this is a snoozefest, and because my Dad used to say 'fish don't go on dry' and would usually have a beer (or vodka, in winter) when eating fish.

"Bring the robot!" is the new "Release the Kraken!"

I think a lot of them do...  if their body has rearranged its mechanics to accommodate the extra weight, unless they go through PT to re-teach their body to move differently, I doubt their walking would change much...

It's been 25 years since I hardcore speed skated but my quads still basically take over my whole body in terms of controlling my gait and other body movements.

Holy hell! That’s the biggest stomach we’ve seen. Dr. Now’s going to mount that one to a wall in his office.

Dr. Now mentioned that patients swing their body with momentum instead of stepping.

Mama Robin is a little odd.

Those Little Ceasar's grease bullets look distressing.

[Red Bridey]

I'm sure it's TV magic, but those women in the Honeylove bra commercial do have spectacular racks.

[mmecorday]

Mama Robin is a little odd.

She reminds me of Jan from the documentary "Abducted In Plain Sight."
