My neighborhood coffee shop is boring. Nothing like this ever happens there. No arguments, no messy breakups. Just coffee. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Skoochera? Skoocella? Did I get that name right?

I made a new gluten free recipe yesterday (my daughter in law has celiac. It was a plum pie. The crust was meringue with crushed almonds. Everyone loved it.

Ooh yum.

Jasmine and Gino. Yeah, not interested.

Expand  

Same. This is painful. Why is Gino hanging around for this? Go to a movie! Talk a walk! 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Yikes. The pageant director looks like the makeup artist thought s/he was working at a morgue.

One of my ancestors (great grandfather on my dad's side) was known as "Contrary Joe" Davis.

My eight times great grandmother was named “Experience Quackenbush.” I wish I had known about her when I named my daughters

I don't know, but her frozen face is frightening me.

Jasmine is again trying to suck all the oxygen out of the room.

Yes. 

[magemaud]

These women are all paid to say nice things about Jasmine. 
“Sparkle, baby!”

[Auntie Anxiety]

Wonder how much Sharp had to pay the contestants at the workshop. Or maybe they did it for free, just for the non-existent exposure.

All yay for me-I finished my ProGen class, a 15-month genealogy class that is a huge step towards preparation for certification.   I turned in my three-generation kinship report last week (in other words, proving relationship from one generation to another).  That was a bear. 

Now I've set a two-year goal of getting both accreditations in genealogy (Certified Genealogist and Accredited Genealogist).  

Expand  

Go you! That's awesome. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Will Jasmine start wearing a crown and sash everywhere she goes now? 

[Auntie Anxiety]

The butt implants are beginning to sag.

Liz: I don’t know what I would do if this is the end of our relationship.

What she should do is spend time with her poor daughter that got dragged into this mess.

I read an article today about DIY insemination kits that you can buy on Amazon for $99. Sperm sold separately.

That's going to be a problem when it turns out that costs $5000 to fix. Which will she choose--fix the butt implants, or bring her children to Michigan?

Turkey basters have been known to work. These kits are a little more high tech.

Oh honey. You know the answer to that. She'll get the implants fixed and whine and cry to Gino that he's keeping her kids from her. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

This is too stupid for words. And I am so fucking bored.

I am 💯percent certain that Patrick isn’t juicing again.

42 hours into surgery…

I don’t know what you’re specifically talking about but I agree completely.

[magemaud]

Why is it I can watch Dr. Now hacking away at his 600 pound patients and I’m getting queasy watching Loren’s surgery? 

[MagicEyes]

I wonder how much she paid for this cold toast. 

[tvrox]

Wow they let her eat that day? When I had abdominal surgery I couldn't eat for around 4 days. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Didn't Alex bring a book or something? He just sat there looking dumb the whole day? 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Loren decides to get elective surgery that she really didn’t need and then comes to the realization that it wasn’t a walk in the park. I just can’t with these people.

She's the one who is putting on the beauty pageant "workshop"...  I'm guessing she's also the one who puts ON the actual pageant.  This is seriously the DUMBEST storyline ever.

Expand  

Cheeno thought he had problems with her before?

They will pale compared to her running with this crowd including to spend like a drunken sailor "because it's what makes me happy." What she needed is therapy, not more perfectionism and triggering about her appearance.

But she's too entitled to listen to therapists.  

[For Cereals]

I had to go the Max route and ffwd through Gino, Jasmine, Loren…I’m almost done.  Just here for the laughs. 🤣

[Pepper Mostly]

He's "starting" to realize the hard part is just beginning? Not too swift, our Alex, is he? 

[magemaud]

Now for the bad news. Loren can’t have sex for three months. 
Oh that damn breathing thing. I always hated that!

After tonight, I never want to hear the word "surgery" again.

And she's milking every second of being a victim in this (unnecessary) surgery. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Sophie always looks like she smelled fart and Rob the Knob checked out weeks ago. And he’s still the victim.

My husband swears one of his ancestors was a Blackfoot "princess". I roll my eyes and change the subject. And I have had endless fun debunking the Ellis Island name change thing. 

One of my ancestors (great grandfather on my dad's side) was known as "Contrary Joe" Davis. You have no idea how much joy that brings me.

We had 'Stracted Henry' in my family. This proves that my ADHD was unavoidable.

I think Emily's Mom, e.g., is aging naturally and beautifully and would have a whole lot more credibility than this scary scarecrow lady. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

I really don’t want to think about Rob rubbing the knob.

[MagicEyes]

It would be a twist if this ended up with Sophie becoming a bodybuilder. She and Patrick could be Tell All buddies!

[Suzywriter]

Sophie's head is wrong for her neck.

[Tuneful]

It's a tossup for me who's the bigger pair of idiots, Knob and Sopee or PrEd and Whiz. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Jesus fuck Rob is such a fucking asshole. "You want me to say something nice to you right now? (heavy sigh) FINE."
