S08.E11: Weeping Beauty

Liz, please cross stitch this on a pillow. You can’t meet Mr. Right if you are hanging out with Mr. Wrong.

Liz, you can blame yourself when Riley makes the same stupid mistakes that you have made.

Here’s hoping her dad and stepmom are better parents and have more influence…

I would be screaming.  I don't understand bookshelves that don't hold, you know, books. And plants would damage them. I see designers "styling" bookcases on design shows all the time and I shake my head in wonderment. My bookcases hold books. Weird. 

It's even worse than it sounds. It might take me a while to recover.

So the father and his wife have custody of Riley and live in another country? Riley didn’t seem to give a shit about Ed. I imagine her home life with her father is more stable.

So nobody carries tissues in their bag anymore?

They must be. They have primary custody, Liz only gets her for school vacations. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Liz, you are right up there in the pantheon of bad mothers. Glad you can admit that.

And here is the testament to the fact that Liz is a shit mother.

I do, and as a certified full metal old lady, I have a box of tissues in every room. And Chapstick. And hand lotion. I don't want to be caught unaware.

She quit her job and gave up a promotion for this asshole. So many bad choices

@Floatingbison where you been? We've missed you!

If only. I cannot stand sleeveless shirts/tank tops on men.

"I would miss Ed, if the scope on my rifle was broken."

It's always the wrong guys that wear them!

Been watching “After the Flood” on Britbox. New episode every Monday but there are already four to binge on. Written by the woman who wrote Happy Valley, I think.

I personally couldn’t give a shit about Patrick and Thais. John (from Bawstin) needs to show the bartender how to draw a beer.

[sainte-chapelle]

Oh F*ck daddy Thais, who cares what he thinks

Cold shoulder tops on women are over. Its tank tops on men now. Try and keep up. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Upgrowings? Okay.

[Floatingbison]

Remember when "adulting" became a verb?

Same and yet John is the most interesting out of all of them…

Exactly. For example, that attractive young man who served Angie a beer should wear noting but tank tops. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

John is already three sheets to the wind.

What do you do if Ed is staggering around the living room? 

Reload. 

Thank you, thank you! I'm here all week! Tip your waitress!

Poor put-upon Assley. She knew had no idea that Manuel was in it for the green card and the money.

[Eldemarge]

Bonsoir, mes amies!  

Ashley's smug talking head eyelashes have entered the chat.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Gonna take more than IV treatments for this crazy witch.

John is a little rough but he makes sense

Oh, I have that on my list, is it good? I started watching Death in Paradise and I'm really enjoying it. The main character cracks my shit up.

Speaking of which, I have an aunt with 2 adult daughters that she still bankrolls and although aunt just recovered from pneumonia and was in the hospital, which should have served as a wake up call to her daughters to get jobs (and not lie about being accepted to grad school in Germany as one did), aunt still asks family to each send $30 to my cousin to celebrate her 30th.  AITA for saying absolutely not!?

Manuel is building his nest egg so he can leave Ashley once he gets the green card.

How are you doing, @Eldemarge! Feeling good?

Assley’s been hurt in the past, people!! Like everyone else in the entire universe!

Every day of recovery, I'm feeling a little better.  This is day 11 since surgery. :) 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Assley, this is the point at which I remind you you wanted this.

Ashley…you are supporting his ex and entire family you fool

Depends on what's in the bag, wink wink. The lives of everyone in her orbit would be vastly improved if it contained a strong sedative, for example. 

She whines about being triggered by Manuel's "lack of transparency" blah blah blah. Girl. This has been going on for YEARS. This is on you and your bad decisions, not him. He has always been completely transparent with you. You just don't want to pick up what he's putting down. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Yeah, a post nup will solve all your problems. Go for it.

You are not. Take that $30 and buy yourself a treat.

and to pound sand.  That's outrageous to tell anyone else how to spend their money, especially to waste it on useless shirttail relatives.

He grew on me, I don’t think he had the best childhood and it seems as though he has struggled with boundaries, relationships etc but I don’t think he is a bad guy.

I was waiting to comment til something interesting happened but figured if I didn’t do it now the entire episode would be over.

This has been a really dull episode.

I can't imagine the intricate pack of lies it took to arrive at the "I was accepted to grad school... in Germany" long con.

Wait, Alexei decided that it would nice to invite people over for a holiday dinner with Loren three days post op? I'm going to hit my "sweet tap dancing Jesus" quota.

Loren, you foolishly put your vanity over everything else, even the children that you love more than anything. You had three babies and it changed your body. You should have learned to wear it as a badge of honor.
