Thanks to those who chimed in with tips for the bridal shower attire.  It turned out fine.  It's a good thing that I did opt for the dressiest pant outfit that I had.  MOST everyone there wore dresses and pretty glamorous dresses at that. I've never seen that before.  I'm not complaining. My outfit fit in fine.   Hey, I love seeing young ladies in their very best. lol  NO jeans or causal attire at all.  NOW, I have to rethink my wedding attire plans.  I'm not sure how my niece has gotten into this clique,,.......she's always been very down to earth jeans/cowgirl boots kind of person.  lol

I’m glad it worked out but really surprised that all were in dresses.

Further proof I guess that I’m out of touch with the real world. ☺️ 

Well, I attend a fair amount of events and I was surprised too.  Maybe, these ladies were planning on going out to a more formal event AFTER the bridal shower.  Most of the time when I attend an event, I'm the most dressed up person there.  lol  But, this worked out fine.  She (the couple) got some lovely gifts and she seemed to love what I got her.

I am drooling over all the beautiful dresses that girls and women are wearing these days.  My daughters AND granddaughter look simply gorgeous in the flowery, frilly dresses they are making now.  The shoes are to die for.  I wish I was young again.  Damn.

Hey @Walnut and @Reality.    How you doin?  It’s been awhile, and just checking in to see how’s everything.  Xoxo  Gem 10

I still have a pulse, so I must be OK.  I'm wading through all the posts about last night's shitshow episode - by the time I finish, I'll have forgotten all the clever things I had to say about it!

Thank you all for your kind words.  Man, life is so precious. We are certainly missing an angel now.  I do have faith that I will see him again one day.  I am a little concerned that I'm going to sob through it though.  I'm NOT a very outwardly emotional person, but, with this.........omg.  It's hit me hard.  One of those things that I'm just going to try to get through it. 

I will take the suggestions into consideration.  Maybe try them and see what feels best. No one will probably notice, but, you know.  

Just a little update to the loss of my dear friend.  I recently sent his mother a card along with some photos of he and I together. She was touched and called me.  We are planning on having lunch very soon.  She sounded like she's really missing her boy.  Me too.

That is lovely!  I recently had a somewhat similar experience, but not.  Long story short, I ran into my first love / HS boyfriends mom at Christmas Eve Mass this past year.  I had not seen her in 20 years but she is friends still with my mom and I am on FB with her.  I cannot even tell you, it was like another world experience.  We were walking back from taking the Eucharist and I saw her sitting there.  I literally ran to her and said “OMG IT’S (her name)!  It took her a minute and she started crying.  

TL / DR.  Life is too short.  Find the people you need to find.  Love is all around us!!!

According to DO-RA-(mi-fa)-SO, Scott probably bought it for her.  ‘They’ have an arrangement you know. 😄

Lol, this was lame but it might work if we get two more housewives that can be mi-fa. 😏

ETA:  Lol, in continuing with my lameness, ''mi' could actually be 'BetheME" as some call her.  Need to figure out who 'fa' would be.  If we continue 'la' possibly LuLu and 'ti' for Tinsley. 

How pathetic am I?????

Well, it was filmed before Christmas 2018.  Think of all the expensive stores in N.Y.C.  Maybe Dorinda would know as she knows everything.  If not, maybe John the cleaner would know.  I loved it too.

so - that luann tumble into the bushes?  i kinda sorta did that to myself stone cold sober - with consequences.

long story longer: my side yard is meant to deter wannabe trespassers/marauders with many soda cans hidden underneath overgrown jasmine & honeysuckle vines.  for the first time, my awesome kitty escaped out my back door as I was feeding Mama raccoon the other night (she was thoroughly unimpressed with the reunion, as was i), and he ran to said side yard.  i was in hot pursuit, and was hoisted on my own petard, taking a specfuckingtacular tumble.  My cat returned to my side with alarmed concern; then I felt a paw tentatively touching my head - yeah, that was Mama raccoon making sure I was still alive.

next day I found out i have a broken wrist (left, luckily) cracked kneecap, and some nasty wounds on the other other leg.  nurse wrapped my temporary splint so tight my fingers were turning blue, so I had to rewrap it myself.  oh, and thanks to the goddamned opiod crisis, all i have for pain relief is Tramadol, which does less than baby aspirin for me.  so i am icing everything. and typing one-handed; pardon the non-capitalization. allegedly, i am supposed to see an orthopedic surgeon, if my cheapo hmo ever gets their shit together.

fuck me!!!   it ain't easy opening cans of cat food one-handed ...   good thing my kitty stands still for his insulin shots, even without the neck pinch!   :~)

Laughter really is the best medicine but I find that a good healthy string of expletives can relieve my stress at times.   😁

It’s embarrassing though when someone catches you! ☺️

i take great pride in having a repertoire of cusswords that would make Trixie the Whore (Deadwood) blush.  Don't care who fucking hears me, either.  Houses on either side of me are currently unoccupied (yikes - i will have new neighbors for the first time since 1988!!!), and my steadfast neighbors across the street keep their windows closed  (keeping in the  AC, not keeping out my inadvertent vulgarity).  they drop f-bombs when the kiddos are out of earshot, so it's all good.

Oh man @walnutqueen! That's a helluva bang up you did. I hope you have something to take the edge off cuz that's some damage! 

@Mindthinkr WTF with this crazy weather? We are getting hammered on the regular here too. 

Last time I sober fell I was on crutches. Being Italian I let go of my crutch and injured the other fuckin ankle! That should have stopped the talking with my hands. 

My husband and one of our friends were standing in a creek while we were camping. I opened my tent and watched them talk, hands flying everywhere. They woke me up so I went over with some rope threatening to tie their hands together so they would be unable to speak. They are still mad about it!

no relatives, no friends nearby, neighbors friendly enough to drive me, jump start my car and help with the garbage cans, but not personal stuff.

i'd rather die alone and in agony than let Luann within 100 yards of me ... heh.

i am inventive and resourceful   (but never "plucky") so will find ways to accomplish what is necessary - and fuck the rest.

I do!  And even better, I have a cat named after cheese.  🐈  She's very selective about who/when she comforts, but I'm sure that once I tell her about you, she'll be all over the job.

I'm so sorry this happened, WQ.  Please heal up ASAP.

Sending you love and wishes from myself and my kitties (indoor and our semi-feral cat colony (and some raccoons and possums). Too bad I’m on the East coast. I was none weight bearing for over 9 weeks (twice) because of foot surgery. I don’t know what I would have done without hubby taking care of (waiting on me)

i take great comfort and joy knowing y'all love animals ... and accept the virtual animal lurve (and terroristic threats) being sent my way.

the toughest part (besides keeping him from walking on my sore legs) is making my babalu kitty realize he has to come closer for his regular lovin', since i can't really reach out to him right now.  good thing he seems devoid of criminal intent - he could wreak an awful lot of havoc before i could get to the dreaded spray bottle!!!

Today, just watch the BH reunion.  Your accident rage will transfer to all those dummies sitting there and babbling nonsense.  And, you could count Doritos hair clips for a diversion, which will occupy you all night.

just watched it myself, and am sooo angry i cannot flip the double-bird.  my right middle finger was working overtime, believe you me.

Dorito, the cunty puppy-dumping grifter, is also the queen of ridiculous hairdos and stoopid outfits.  she can miss me with her innocent victim act.  a waste of oxygen, is that one.

@walnutqueen .. How are you doing the last couple of days?  Lots of pain?  Thank goodness for your critters and t.v. So you can snark your heart out, and Netflix.  You’re not missing much as nobody is going out because of the heat wave I’m sure you are having also.  I think it’s 95 degrees here on the east coast.  Xo

I honestly can't come up with the right words but someone will.

Thanks for sharing this.  I took a screen shot with the caption visible so that others may read it also.  (Faint but visible).

For me, it's confirmation that there are still those who will go extra to honor and respect those that have gone before and sacrificed much.  It makes my heart glad.

Hi Diane, you have a great view, very lucky. I hope to see more people coming over.

Whatever happened to TWoP? I was with those forums for years, but then my followed content is now under this heading. What happened? Is TWoP still up and running or...?
