Small Talk: The Regency Bar

[Ellee]

In Illinois, just off 80  

It’s stopped now.  Saw my first accident too. Two vehicles - a pickup truck and a small SUV thing.  

Oh the fun we have in the Midwest.  Someone said we’ve got more maybe later today and then again tomorrow. I refuse to look. 

And, for those of you concerned, I behaved myself. I didn’t scream, cuss or carry on. Kind of proud of myself. 😁🙄

I saw where you all got accumulation.  I'm about 100 mi. east of Chicago, right on 80/90 also.  Almost neighbors.

@Ellee - sadly, this type of situation occurs far more often than I can bear to think about.

Come sit by me.  I have a "kill if I'm dying" list, and animal abusers are at the top of it.

[Ellee]

@walnutqueen  I'll be right there!!!  I admit that I don't look good in orange or for that matter a jumpsuit but I like the idea of your list. 

(ummm.... pretend there is an angelic looking emoji if there is one. )

Edited November 21, 2019 by Ellee

[walnutqueen]

Not to worry - I've gotcha covered got your back.

I watch A LOT of true crime in addition to all my animal rescue shows.  Way back when Dateline covered the murder of Betsy Faria, we posters knew a certain Pam Hupp got away with murder.  A poster said that Karma would get Pam Hupp in the end.  I said the Bitch better hope I'm not diagnosed with a terminal illness, lest I change my name to Karma and hunt her down.  Thus, my "kill if I'm dying" list was born.  I quickly realized I hate animal abusers even more than garden variety murderers, so my list was revised, and has become somewhat popular in "certain circles". Let's just say some of us might know a little suntheen about how to get away with murder ...   ;~)

[Mondrianyone]

But on the upside, there are groups in almost every state now that help to free these poor pups.  I just looked at YouTube to see if I could still find the video of Mona, the first dog we chipped in for, and to my amazement it's still there!  I can't watch without choking up.  Some people are just cruel, but some want to have a dog, don't have money for a fence, and maybe don't know any better about how to be proper owners.  (I'm being generous here.)  So these angels step in, put up a fence and a doghouse, and cut the chain.  It's a great feeling to watch the dogs take their first playful leaps of freedom.

[Ellee]

I just watched a 'Murder for Hire' episode.  It was in Iowa.  A man decided he was going to hire a hit man to kill his partner, his wife and two children (ages 4 & 2 at the time.)  He contacted a known conman.  The conman went to the police,  The hitman he hired was a policeman.  Needless to say, the hit didn't happen but a new plot was born.  From inside jail he tried to hire a hitman to kill the cop, the conman and his wife.  Yep, you got it.  The hitman he hired was another cop. 

I've tried to find all these type of forums but I'm hit and miss on finding them.

I’m right behind ya.  Tripped in my Doctor’s waiting room head first into the wall, doctor ran out and called ambulance and off I went again to my second home .. Emergency.  After head ct scan and xrays for breaks all over, I got 35 stitches in my left knee and they put a contraption on that I can’t even navigate on, so I took it off and flung it across the room.  Now, I’m confined to my recliner for a good long time.  This stupid knee thing is worse than my back and two hip replacement surgeries.  Plus between all the other bruises, I now feel like I’ve been hit with by a truck.  Merry Christmas to all.  One good thing .. they did give me opiods in hospital .... wheeeee!  I was floating, for awhile anyway.   Silver Bells (Gem 10) formerly.

You ain’t kidding.  You have to be careful with every step.  A knee problem is a bitch.  Can’t bend it, so I have to pee standing up, lol.  Thoroughly disgusted.  Did they give you that stupid knee brace to keep the leg straight?  I took it off as you can’t move around with it on.

[walnutqueen]

I have a knee brace from a previous injury, which allowed me to bend my knee enough to drive if I loosened the straps slightly.  Hated it, but it did help when walking.

Ice that knee and make everyone wait on you hand and foot.  Also, wear jitney diapers so you don't have to hobble to the bathroom and pee standing up.  ;~)

Me too.  I think they were probably named after Sonja Morgan who took the jitney to the Hamptons maybe??  Oh, walnut was probably joshing.  Here I thought they were really called Jitney diapers, haha.  I could just see my husband asking for them in CVS.  And them laughing.  He’s even having trouble asking for gauze and elastic wrapping tape.

Yup.  Because she thinks steeping her own ass in urine soaked diapers for the hours-long ride to the Hamptons is preferable to hovering said ass over the jitney toilet to pee.

The Jitney bus bathrooms were probably cleaner than her bathrooms in the Morgan broken down townhouse.  BTW, can’t wait for the N.Y. housewives.  Wish Andy would put Kelly Dodd on, as that would really be interesting.  Unless, she breaks her engagement and goes back to the OC.

Didn’t Sonja use her toilet to wash some of her delicates?

And I’m pretty sure it is Sonja that uses other bathrooms for the usual hookup location.  Or wait ... is that LuLu?   Hmm .. no LuLu takes over someone else’s hotel room I think.  

I don’t know.

Sonja broke her bathroom sink by having sex on it - allegedly.  

Brandi Glanville had sex in Kyle Richards' daughter's bathroom - allegedly.

Cary Deuber's huzzbin blew guys in the Roundup bathroom - allegedly.

Dorit did blow in someone's bathroom - allegedly.

And of course Kim Richards does all sorts of things in the bathroom - but I doubt any of it is sexual.

And I could live happily ever after in Stephanie's Dallas bathroom for the rest of my life, as long as I don't have to watch butt sex.

[HunterHunted]

Does anyone watch Escape to the Chateau: DIY? Stephanie Jarvis reminds me of a more grounded, but still kind of ridiculous Sonja. EttC: DIY is the spinoff of Escape to the Chateau, which is about an English couple who buy a French chateau, work on fixing it up, and begin a bed and breakfast/events location business in the chateau. Part of the reason why the couple moves to this derelict chateau is because if you're up for some diy work, you can buy a chateau for cartoonishly cheap. The couple bought their 45 room chateau for €280,000. The closer you get to €1 million+, the less work the property will require. However, almost all of the people featured on the show who are rehabing the chateaus have these armies of unpaid volunteers who get room and board to help fix the places up.

https://www.prestigeproperty.co.uk/escape-to-the-chateau-231/

Stephanie is constantly fixing up her chateau, which she purchased for around €500,000, in designer clothing and it's completely ridiculous.

Sonja apparently uses the bathroom for everything, like multitasking.  Maybe next she will use the toaster oven while doing her business.   Nothing surprising with that ditz.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS a and a good and safe New Year to all the posters I know, and don’t know.  Settling in to my recliner with some good books and my Netflix and Hulu which I now understand after my granddaughter came and showed me everything.  My firestick is all I needed as she does everything on command, no less.  I’m going to throw her sister Alexa out, as she was confusing me.  I watched “Holiday in Handcuffs” 50 times already on Hulu (thanks @Walnut Queen).  Love u all.😻🎄❄️☃️🍸2020❤️

I was on the same train as you in 2019, and then my great grandson came, 5 weeks early.  Though still in the NICU (born on Friday the 13th), he's expected to be released very soon.  We're hoping he'll be home by Christmas.  It helped to turn around a nasty year.  2020 just has to be better.

I sent congratulations on your baby boy to Ellee by mistake (on meds).  My last grandchild, a boy was also born 5 weeks early .  When I went into NICU, all I saw was a lump wrapped in blanket with tubes going in n out, and the biggest full head of pitch black hair sticking up.  I was hysterical crying with joy.  He was there a couple of weeks also and came home before Christmas.  He’s 6 now and perfectly fine.  Congrats to you all and God bless the little one. 💕
