Small Talk: 1, 2, 3 Non-Cheerleader Conversation

[EvergreenLove]

I don’t think Pluto skips seasons, but the newer seasons have longer episodes than seasons 1-5 (which makes it seem like they are always on the newer seasons since the first ones just fly by).

I don't watch many Christmas movies, but if you haven't seen it be sure to watch The Christmas Candle.

I'll check that one out...as well, consider watching "The Christmas Secret" (it's other title is "Flight of the Reindeer") with Richard Thomas & Beau Bridges...you can find it on Hallmark on demand...

[Opine]

So, I got my copy of the Star.  The oldies pics were way too small for these blind old eyes to really see.  The other pics were interesting.  They certainly favored certain girls.  Here's a few thoughts:

1.  You forget how Ashton just oozes sexuality.  Wow!  

2.  The Schraminator remains a favorite in appearance and personality.

3.  Tess.  Ms. Tess Guidry (or whatev.....) I have never been a fan of her look AT ALL.  Not the hair, not the face, not the body, not a thing.  But there're a couple of pics of her that def make me rethink that!  One of her in a one piece leopard suit - she's no Ashton - but it is fantastic!

4.  Another of my all time favorites (that many of you forget) is Molly - she has quite a sexy little pic in there too.

5.  Whither Rachel W?  Like one little pic...

6.  It was a good time walking through so many pics of old "friends" and Cassie 🙂.  Y'all should buy one!

What are all of you doing for Christmas?  Hubby and I are staying home and I'm cooking a rib roast.

Thankfully where I am in Aus we have almost a 'normal' christmas as our covid restrictions have eased a bit. Going to see Hubbys family for bbq lunch then my family for dinner. They live close enough to us and to each other so we can do it all in one day and then we are ready to hit the boxing day sales the next day!  This year we are taking our one year old puppy with us, who is 52kg (110 pounds) so that should be interesting 🤣

Have a safe and happy christmas everyone! 💙

Oooh puppy pics please!! Love seeing the giant ones.

What a gorgeous ball of floof!! Thank you for posting, and please give him an extra pet for me 🙂 

It’s such a weird thing when there are much bigger problems this year, but I really miss petting random dogs at wineries, outdoor craft shows, even out on hikes. Still some opportunities, of course, but without people out and about, their dogs aren’t either. I had always traveled too much to justify having a pup heaven knows that’s changed this year.

What was the name of board we use to discuss the show on before Twop? There’s primetimer, twop, and there was one more before but can’t remember the name.

It seems they shed enough to create another pupper every day or so (at least it seems like it), but they are such lovable dorks despite that.  Both of the ones I've known are such leaners that one almost has to be set when they do so because it's so easy to get knocked over.  You're very welcome in regards to the name.

Whoa. Mighty Big TV. There’s a blast from the past! 😂 

I think by the time CMT:MTT started it was TWoP because I can recall reading the forums from the beginning and it was definitely TWoP by then (although I wasn’t brave enough to step a toe into posting on the forums until Season 2). After TWoP was sold to Bravo, the girls who ran TWoP started Previously.tv which later morphed into PrimeTimer. And here we are.

I kinda miss how hilariously brutal TWoP was though, both the recaps and the forums. 

And never understood the boards on boards warning from the mods 😂

I miss that A LOT, especially when there's a surge of people who find the forum.  Good for the site to have new traffic and page views, but yikes.   I don't expect people to read through a zillion pages, but I tend to go back at least a few pages when I'm looking at a new forum.  90% of the time my question is answered somewhere in there.  Usually for me it's the spoiler threads for The Bachelor/The Bachelorette when I hear something that catches my attention.  I haven't watched a full season of that show in a decade but sometimes it still wraps me back in.  LOL.  I used to work with the main guy that spoils the show back in 2007/2008 so it always makes me chuckle that he's pivoted from textiles to gossip.

One reason I stuck with MBTV/TWoP was the rules and structure.  The strict rules weeded out a lot of low quality content that you tend to see on Reddit, Facebook posts, etc.  Seemed like we could have stronger discussions, and not a bunch of punchy back and forth posts about who is pretty or not pretty.  Not that it's top of mind today!  I use the ignore function A LOT now.  But here I am going boards on boards so now I'm just part of the problem 😉

Oh goodness, I didn’t. I did find myself curious about who she was dating, because she’s had a handful of characters in her Instagram stories. I don’t think I follow her tho, just Sydney, so occasionally I’ll flip through KD’s too. She’s a goofball but seems like a good friend and a lot of fun. In very small doses. 
 

But back to RS...I thought he was kind of a creeper back then and he was older than me, soooo that’s an interesting combo. Heart wants what it wants I guess!  And it’s been a minute since I’ve talked to him, so hopefully I’m just remembering wrong 😂

[EricaShadows]

I don't have a picture (as he wouldn't sit still long enough for me to get one), but I have a very large, very floofy, snoopervisor here at the moment.  I was visiting family (WITH mask, despite being family) and the Bernese Mountain Dog decided he wanted to become a lapdog.  Fortunately, he only managed to get HALF his body in my lap, but it was rather adorable because he put his head down on his paws and just loved having all the attention.  There's been a few times he's just LEANED into me and nearly knocked me off my feet, but he's a super-mellow pup and just wants all the loves and attention he can get (as he's competing for attention with two of the under-10 crowd on Christmas morning).

The good ol’ Berner lean. Duke loves leaning on people for cuddles. He also thinks he is a lap dog 🤣  He’s our first dog and I couldn’t see me ever having another breed, they are just so special!

Has anybody tried to hang anything with Alien Tape? I recently switched internet to Fios, and I had to move my router, which the tech noted I could hang on the wall to get out of the way. I suck (tm Cassie) at anything "drill" related, so Alien Tape would be a great alternative if it actually works!

I had never heard of it so looked it up and saw a youtube video.  Guy tried it out on several things and came to the conclusion it didn't really work and if you used it on a sheetrock wall it removed paint and sheetrock when you tried to remove it.  

I'm more of a hammer a nail in the wall person.  But prob that won't work on a router.

My router has 2 holes in the back so it could be hung on the wall (like a landline phone). Oh well, screws it is!  My poor wall 😞

Well it's better than taking half the sheetrock off I suppose.

The guy tried hanging a shower caddy with it and it crashed after 48 hours.

I watched it and thought it was good.  But I find a hard time explaining what I thought about it.  I think dancers should be paid better, so they can support themselves as a dancer, and just like my DH used to receive a monthly expense budget for "digital/technology expense" as a software consultant (it didn't really cover our expenses for internet, etc but defrayed costs) I think the ladies should receive a stipend for makeup, hair, nails  whatever is not covered by DCC but clearly expected. On the other hand if we are being totally honest their purpose is to entertain with their yes, dance, but also beauty and sex appeal. If we were truly concerned about their being taken "seriously" then we would not have them at all because at its core it is sexist. I think that is why the mavs got rid of their team because it is really difficult to ride that fence.  And sadly then we will talk about all the things we used to have that were sanitized because it is not PC or good for us, pro cheerleading will be one of them.

The Kilgore Rangerettes were featured in the parade across America today. Their kicks are substantially better than the collective DCC.

I definitely feel for Texas.  Sadly, whoever thought that Texas having its own grid and not being connected to the rest of the country AND it being completely deregulated, then not doing any updates beyond the absolutely necessary over the years are idiots.  Residential utility bills are looking to be over $2000 or more and that's if they're lucky.  In many cases, that's at least 3 or 4 times their usual bills, possibly more. Businesses and other industries are looking at bills that are 7 to 10 times as much at least.  I can't remember the exact amounts I was told, but the utility bills will be staggering across the board.

Commercial on pluto I absolutely hate with all my being--that woman riding her exercise bike with that intense look on her face (with that huge blood vessel in her forehead) as if she is bicycling across the world.   The screen she is staring at so intently shows that workout coach giving her atta girls and it makes the woman ride harder and faster.  And then the next day she is lifting weights with her friend.  She pretends to be happy as a pig in slop.  No one is that happy riding an exercise bike.

I just hate it.

Yes, that's it.   Susan Boyle has a small part in it and sings.   Some people say it is sappy, but I thought it was quite good.

Does anyone here listen to the “Pod Ledom” podcast? Three friends recap America’s Next Top Model, and it’s freakin’ hilarious. Once they finish all the ANTM cycles, I really want them to take a crack at DCC: MTT. It has all the hallmarks of ANTM including earnest contestants and wildly inconsistent judging.
