I’ve had such a good (although only mildly productive) day today. I’ve been really blessed lately with all sorts of acts of support from all my imaginary Internet friends lately. The sun was shining and global warming has skipped right over Georgia because we are a red state that doesn’t believe in such nonsense, the windows are open, the meat fairy recently arrived and I was super excited to cook. As I was plating a delicious, though probably odd to most people veal dish, I realized I was out of olives. Then the olive miracle happened… and cheese and olives arrived…FEDEX on the doorstep. It was like I was living in a movie of only good things. I understand most of you don’t understand the meat fairy who sends meat boxes or the miracle of the olives but I really can’t explain it. Some men send flowers, others send veal chops and olives and cheese.
Anyway this is not really about what put me in such a good mood, only it is. You guys make me smile. You email me, you toss coins (sometimes REALLY BIG ONES!) in the tip jar, you tweet me and this site is becoming a bigger success than I could have imagined. So while I am less cunty than usual, I thought we could just have a girls chat. Or you could ask me some questions. OR suggest things for me to blog about. (which I will probably ignore). Or just talk amongst yourselves. Ask another commenter something you have always wondered about their screen name or their opinions.
I don’t care. Basically, it’s HAPPY HOUR! Until I reach angry drunk stage. At that point you should not hold me accountable in the morning and continue to love or hate me as usual.
Who’s in? What do you want to talk about tonight? Maybe Friday can be Tea Sipping With Tamara!
YASSSSSSSSS! Did you see what the dailymail is reporting about kenya on celebrity apprentice? Do you think it’s true?
I did not. I don’t get to read gossip blogs (my guilty pleasure) as much as I would like not that y’all keep me so busy. Daily Mail is sort of an aggregate of every new outlet and has named me as a source. So can you tell me the gist of the story and who they say is reporting it?
I know that Kenya did very well. You can read my CA spoilers here.
http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/?s=Celebrity+Apprentice+
They are saying that Kenya stole vivica’s phone and tweeted something about menopause, as well as Donald Trump called her ‘the most evil woman’ he has ever met
LOL sounds like a great show. Menopausal tweets? Phone stealing? I can hardly wait.
Well, now I am a dailymail die hard-they have proven themselves to me many times-and they say Kenya was actually
SPOILER ALERT
Fired! And Trump called her the most evil woman alive. This could be true or the greatest publicity stunt ever. It is telling though, that the only person the other has friended on this season is Kenya Moore and Kate Gosselin.
Tamara – late but love love love this blog and glad I found it. Good thing too, because I was about to cut out Bravo from my life. I got tired of staring at the television with my mouth open like “is this shit really happening right now?” —-
Glad I don’t have to question my sanity anymore because there are people who agree with me and someone to guide us like Moses did his people to the promised land (of reality TV gossip that is).
Either that or we’re all nuts. Thinking a good mix of the two.
Also, don’t get a big head because I don’t agree with everything you sayyyyy… that RHONY shit you pulled made me grouchy but I will survive and learn to love again.
1-I would like to know if you have a P.O box . I’d like to send you a gift for your birthday,
2- what day in June is your birthday ?
1 perhaps I will come pick it up. I haven’t decided yet but your city is still in the works.
2-23rd
What are we drinking Tamara?
I drink A LOT. And I don’t just mean alcohol. So I usually just drink beer or wine or I would fall over.
I drink either beer which is why I am so fat, but , come on Georgia summers, or very, very cheap merlots. I love the taste of cheap Chilean Merlot. I went to a very fancy pants dinner once with a dear Internet friend and they ordered a bottle of some rich people stuff. I didn’t care for it and asked for the house merlot.
I am not sure how tacky that was, but I didn’t see the point in trying to force expensive shit down my throat. That’s just wasteful. Let them them (married couple) enjoy without dividing with the ghetto chick Seemed to me like I was being nice. …lol.
I love Chilean Merlot too. Another reason to like you….Thank you for being so informative and entertaining. I really enjoy reading your articles and the comments. I like that you answer people’s questions.
i ask for the house wine all the time. nothing wrong with it, they will usually see it as you wanting to be introduced to something new or that you don’t see your favorite on their list.
i favor south african pinot grigio’s m’self 😉
Best cheap wine ever-which I was actually introduced to by rich Atlanta friends is Ménage Tois. They make a white and a red, but I am partial to the white. Maybe that’s why my rich friends are rich, they don’t waste money on things like super expensive alcohol.
Well come to Austin – we can discuss perimenopause over Mexican martinis (extra dirty, extra olives) and cheese board. For you I’d even stand in line at Franklin’s for the best barbecue in the world.
I feel your smile all the way here on the west coast. Could you possibly share a bit on the fellow who gives such interesting gifts? I understand if you prefer to remain private.
He’s an African Prince.
LMAO teecee!!
I mean, some men give flowers, mine gives Veal chops and cheese and olives. TeeCee knows “him” because she has a very thick mustache. That is all I have to say about that.
Lol
Ms tamra, luv hearing u r have a special day or a ” Kiki” as they say, u definitely r fun brassiness & all. Luv yur style of writing
I love your site!! I’ve never posted a comment on any site, but, I’ve been wondering how much a blogger would make hourly. Believe me, by reading your blog, I realize you work countless hours to produce this awesome blog for all of us. I would like to contribute to your happy pill fund sometime which is why I was wondering if you were paid hourly, I could toss in an hour or two 🙂 if this isn’t something you’d like to talk about I understand
Oh thanks. I don’t get paid anything other than my ad money which goes through WordPress. I get paid apporoximately 1 dollar for every thousand views. So the tip jar really helps! But I also have refunded tip jar donations from those whose money would best be spent on themselves. I invested in retirement funds (OH HOW I HOPE TO SEE RETIREMENT AGE) I can feed myself and take a trip from time to time on my skymiles (hopefully next month!) But I have a lot of readers who “wish they could give more” and such and it kind of makes me feel bad sometimes. Just think of me as your bartender. Tips are not necessary. I HATE tipping. I really do.
Who is your favorite housewive husband? Snide comments expected!
Ken I guess. I love how much he loves Lisa. But the whole purse dog thing would annoy the shit out of me. I’m trying to think if I had to marry a husband tomorrow and they would be just thrilled to be with me who I would marry… give me a minute.
Okay, I’d prefer to stay single over any options so far in life, but if I must marry a husband from RH… I’ll take Albert Manzo. He seems very low maintenance and the lest attention whorey.
That’s so true. Like you, i love how Ken treats Lisa, but that would be too stifling for me. Manzo would be the man. He stays out of the way and lets Caroline do her thing.
Even when I was married I needed time to myself. I enjoy spending time with me.
Why did you say I died today????
Because MARIO BATALI TWEETED YOU TODAY! You are my Mario Batli. AND I WAS TAGGED! It was a very good day today. And, the young people “die” when excellent things happen. Ask your Tard. He can explain it,
Oh yeah. He asks me for advice all the time.
@teecee66 Your comments are the most interesting and always force me to google a few words. But who are you,and who is that woman as your avatar picture
Wig, its best not to talk directly to TeeCee. Do not give any indication you may like her and do not ask any questions. I am trying to help you here. That said she is the funniest comedy writer that ever existed. Meanwhile she is too busy saving us all in the corporate world. and keeping the world on it’s axis she rarely has time to be funny. She’s also very, very, smart and watched by governmental agencies everywhere. Watch yourself.
When I was able to enlarge her avatar I knew I messed up.
@Heywig, the picture is of Lauren Bacall. Once Humphrey Bogart’s wife.
Are you kidding? That’s how you’d describe her she is pretty special all on her own. I hate that. It’s like my mother in law addressing every thing to Mrs. My Husband’s Zname instead of my actual name.
I’m just glad that you’re happy! Sip slowly, I want this to last!
I’m getting very sleepy! but thanks! I have good Internet friends.
I’d love to hear what the other commenters have to ask/say. Your site is so fascinating!
Can someone please tell me who that person wearing the glasses is? I love his expression!
LOL that is Judge Belvin Perry from the Casey Anthony Trial. We all love him.
I just searched Jodi Arias on my blog search.

Turns out I may have covered it once or twice.

So glad to hear you’re in such a good mood today that’s awesome! Noticed you’ve come down really hard on some of your posters recently unlike usual. Rock on sista!
Hey girl from KY! I have always come down on my commenters. People like to have opinions about TV personalities , or me, or other commenters but when those people have opinions back it seems “mean”
There have been two issues of opinions in the past few months where I have felt like I could not respect my commenters if we did not switch the conversation
This one, http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/2014/03/13/about-real-housewives-of-new-york-im-out/ Where I opted to not blog RHONY at all because I did not want to read a lot of hatred about someone who had come so far to overcome a childhood trauma. It was personal to me. And I was not emotionally capable of dealing with fucktards on that issue.
And then there is the fact that people are fans of criminals (Marlo, Apollo, Nene, Gregg, Porsha) on RHOA,which is my hometown, and try to drag down a women who pulled herself out of Detroit to be the 2nd black Miss USA and is articulate and beautifully scarred like so many of us, I don’t have much respect for them either.
And somedays I just call a cunt a cunt. It happens.
Tamara,
I am glad to see you support Kenya. I think she is so beautiful, and extremely intelligent. She should be celebrated for her achievements, not dragged through the mud, especially by super-fellon Apollo!
I laughed at “you’ve come down really hard on some of your posters recently unlike usual”
There’s nothing unusual about TT coming hard for people. Stupid people get that treatment the most but it’s certainly not new or unusual.
Coming down on your commenters is like wrecks in racing or fights in hockey. It differentiates you.
I thought that was what I hired your for. lol. For real, no one is here that I don’t want to be here. 90% are people I like the other 10% are toys to be played with… Enter at your own risk I guess.
Bitch please. Ask all the questions you want. Or just bring up topics. THis is an open forum not a hotseat for me lol. We can talk about anything you want.
I don’t know much about who was friends with whom. I came on to the internet almost 2 decades ago as a “spoiler” You might have figured out I love investigating things. Back in the olden days I was pretty good at spoiling a show called Survivor. Yes that Survivor. When I was doing it I was calling up potential cast memembers workplaces asking to speak to them during filming and asking when they would get back. Back in the day, “the ponderosa” the place where they send the voted off people didn’t exist because they assumed no one was paying attention but I was. That was fun for me.
Spoiling Celeb Apprentice to a point was fun as well but now it’s not really that challenging with all the social media. Anyway. I say that to say, I can tell how Kenya did from scouring the internet for clues and putting them together. As for who she was/is friends with, neither myself nor any other gossip site could address that unless they had information from Kenya or Kate. I of course am open to either of them who might read here and want to tell me. I watched Kate Plus 8 many moons ago when we still believed reality TV was real.
Tamara — I frequently ask myself why I feel compelled to intermittently seek out your site …after all, I have lately begun to feel that proverbial ‘quickening’ of time and there’s always that never-ending list of things to get done. While I appreciate your insight and contacts with respect to pop culture — for myself (and maybe some others) — visiting your site allows me to vent my anger vicariously at this messed up culture where sexism is so discounted and casual. My ‘deal’ is movies: love, love, love. However, women have become so marginalized on the big screen … it’s like: “Girl, bye.” TV (particularly reality TV) offers women much more visibility/presence …. Something in me just longs to see women interacting (actually, the more mediocre/’life-like’ the character, the better). I don’t need over-the-top lifestyles or personalities.
Re: Kenya Moore. There IS something different about Kenya …. One really can literally feel the raw intelligence lurking behind and through the woman (and her persona). I think that she would do really well on the big screen — albeit in the stereotypical roles usually allotted to a strong black woman … i.e., a judge or police chief. I don’t think that Nene could ‘fit that bill’ nearly as well … Nene might present as a strong physical presence; however, her incessant use of monosyllabic silly responses does not equate with the measured thoughtful responses that Kenya is so capable of conveying. I do wish Nene a continued presence on the small screen.
Does an “open forum” extend to the arena of speculation and aliens of the ET type? Just askin’ ….
TT, which shows would you like to blog about but just don’t have time?
Interesting question. I am a fan of The Blacklist and every time I recap it I whine to both people who read the recap that it took me hours. I’ve learned that I must appeal to the masses and The Blacklist doesn’t get enough views to warrant that much of my time.
But I try to do it anyway because I love the people who talk with me about that show. It’s such a mixture of bad writing, bad acting, and great acting and great suspense….
I admit to being glad it is on Hiatus. Same with Scandal, much better done but such fast dialogue I have to keep replaying to recap… it’s tedious.
Good point about Blacklist. Honestly, it’s my favorite new show despite a couple of the actors. BUT, it’s so edge of your seat and fast that if you aren’t glued watching, you miss too much. So it’s hard to follow a write up about it. TBH I don’t always keep all the names straight too, I just know their faces.
Ack!!! Panic attack!!!! Love, love, love that you provide a forum for The Blacklist. It’s thinking of what your snarky comments might be that get me through the non James Spader scenes. What can we do to help? You also got me to watching Orphan Black if you ever start writing recaps for it.
Hey Tamara, loved this blog where you are just hanging out with us. Live in California and I’m just reading this 2 minutes before a new day. I live for Tamaratattles now. You are the First blogger I have ever followed. Girlfriend , you’re good!LOL Thanks for sharing one of your passions with us.
1) Housewives Question (if you know): when do they do the talking head interviews? In one sitting after all of the tapings has been completed, and allowing for hair/makeup/changes? Or do they do it from time to time throughout taping?
2). Do you ever feel guilty for some of your responses to some of the comments?
@tatum
1) From time to time throughout tapings. BUT they keep the clothes they wear and at the end of the season they may have them wear them again and change their talking heads!
2) Sometimes. Rarely. The way I see it is you are coming to my house, it has rules, be intelligent, be respectful in your disagreement, or be gone. There are times I have gone hard on someone and regretted it but very, very few. If you don’t like me, you can leave, if I don’t like you, I have to force you out..
If I catch you during your excellent adventure, will you watch Southern Charm in reruns? I don’t know why this is so important to me, but I’m DYING to get your take. All I could do was imagine your reactions while I watched. And one of the interesting things about it was that it featured the men. The women were of little consequence, refreshingly.
@ TRho No mam. I love you more than cheese grits, but I was so put off by that show, I hated it without watching. I love Charleston more than any city in this world and I could not. Will not see it mocked by Bravo.
It grew on me, especially after seeing interviews with the cast (men). It was hard to get in to at first, but knowing how it was going to end, I could watch it differently and liked it. Oh, and the guy saying he wasn’t addicted to coke and just liked the smell….I’ve used that line.
The more Southern Charm I watched the more I liked it. Sad the season is over more than any HW season end in years. HW shows now feel like about 4 episodes too long. I think by then they are at their meanest, ugly fighting upswing.
Southern Charm had a genteel reunion. Everyone was friendly and answered each question from Andy. For various reasons, all were happy to have done the show. No one was pimping anything, except Thomas has political agenda. He was completely up front about that. TT, I wish you had given it more of a chance.
I really liked it, too.
I also really, really liked it.
Tamara you should give it a chance if there is a season 2. It was a fun show IMO. Not dark at all.
But here is how the people, especially the men, on the show are portrayed. Spoiled southern rich kids that live off their families money, that go out and get drunk and party and sleep around every night. LOL
Cameron is a real estate agent, and the handsome dude with the nice hair is in law school, the rest seem to be in two states: Drunk and having sex or hungover and pregnant.
I luv that you are a BB fan. My all time fav show and to address TILII above, I like the show but hated the Ravenold’s dad making the racist remark about Lincoln. It was VERY off putting and rang of the ole south mentality.
@Angel: you but the nail on the head! So true! HWs getting so mean, and I know they need drama, but this RHONY trip to THE BERKSHIRES has had some silly, fun moments, and I think that was the appeal of SC. You’re right on about the reunion and, seriously, T-Rav is hilarious if you choose to laugh rather than be annoyed. Took me an episode or two…
Ladies of London, on the other hand… Not sure if I’m going to like that.
Do we know who is on RHOBH next season yet?
Nope. Here is the deal with me. I started this blog a couple of years ago, and I started to get some good sources. I was the first person to find out Nene Leakes was on Glee, point blank period. http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/?s=nene+glee You an easily check that out . Then I also started to get sources about Kim Z’s wedding.
In retrospect I was a good place to plant the seeds from their very own publicists. Since then I continue to have great sources. In Atlanta, Miami and New Jersey and Orange County especially.
But I’ve never had great sources for RHOBH their production team either doesn’t know about me yet, or likes to play it close to the vest. 🙂
When I tell you I have a GOOD source for RHOA contracts. You can believe me. When I tell you the only thing I know about RHOBH is that their contracts are per annum and not per season I know that too. But as for who I haven’t ever asked. Male Jewish accountants are not very gossipy.
whats per annum? If I leave to go look it up, I’ll get distracted by something shiny.
I am so happy for your very good day and miracle olives. I want to know about your childhood in exotic lands. How did a nice southern baptist girl end up with such an appreciation of foreign lands? (I also would like your opinion of Amanda Knox trial)
Hey Julie! I am sitting here in the home where my parents lived when I was born. It’s right near Lockheed. My father worked there on the “flight line” which from what I understand was some sort of assembly line or for building the planes or something. But he was also one of the first men to go to school to learn about “radar” (this was all before I was born) in the Air Force and he was very intelligent so they may him a “field rep” and But the time I was 6 he was sent to Tripoli, Libya where we lived for almost six years. This was during the time of Ghadaffi. I actually saw him with my own eyes once. Anyway, the Libyan laws were such that we could not reside there longer than, I think six months.. without leaving for two weeks and coming back.
Our tour was like one year five times extended. Each time Lockheed would pay for our two week breaks and instead of coming home we always went EVERYWHERE. My mother it seems looked at every time as being “let’s see everything over here in the world and getting the fuck out of here.” So I have been pretty much everywhere for 15 minutes, and it’s all a big blur with punctuated drama. BROKEN ELEVATOR IN ARABIC COUNTRY HOTEL. Me, and my parents Surrounded by machine guns when we stumbled into some place we should not have. My father and my brother home for the summer from swiss boarding school brawling on the Spanish steps because my brother understood enough Spanish to know that a vendor had insulted my mother. ( and me getting yelled out for freaking the fuck out)
I was baptized inn the Mediterranean sea by the pastor of the FIrst Baptist Church of Tripoli Libya. There were many in the congregation, mostly Texas oil people.
I have been a nomad, and hopefully an honorary Libyan ever since. Thus all my Libyan/Global tweets. I really hope they can get there shit together. I’d love to go back or even retire in Tripoli. Sadly, I don’t think that will be possible in my lifetime.
I am conflicted on Amanda Knox. I really didn’t follow it enough to come to any sort of information with surety. I lack the facts for an opinion there. I pray she is innocent. But, I can’t make a judgment. Italian law did once and I don’t believe in take backs on criminal verdicts.
Wow! Exciting childhood! Thanks for sharing!
Wow T… your life could be a movie! You truly are a woman of substance…. cheers!
Impressive life story! I can see why you have such an expansive point of view about these characters. We are fortunate that you enjoy writing.
OMG! My husband is Libyan…from Tripoli. Came to the US under a Ghadaffi scholarship until he began participating in student opposition movements against Ghadaffi. He applied for and was granted political assylum…wasn’t able to go home for 30 years until said dictator was over thrown. Took us 20 months and quite a few thousand but he finally returned home last August!!! What a fabulous reunion he had. Thank you for sharing.
OMG so over Amanda Knox. Wish the girl she “allegedly” killed got even 1/100th of the attention showered upon Amanda Knox. Amanda Knox is thanking her lucky stars she’s a white female, or no one would even know about her, much less contribute to her legal fund.
Well that was out of left field. Is Amanda back in the news again? I never could really form an opinion on that case. I’d have to go with not guilty, or not proven, just because I have not heard all the evidence. It is an interesting case though.

Tamara,
I have nothing to add or ask, but I just want to let you know I appreciate you, and really enjoy your blog. You are extremely intelligent and witty….
And… I love your dog!!! What a doll he is!
Thanks DJ. I once had a vet tell me “this dog should never be around other animals or humans” Not kidding. He’s kind of mean when he wants to be. I don’t know where he learned that! He’s so cute!
Beautiful dog!
OMG this makes me sooo nervous – like having that one chance, getting called on and asking a question in a Presidential news conference! Let’s see…let’s see…. Um, I’m sure I had one. A good one. Aw hell, when you said you were having cocktails, I joined you, soo coherent thoughts are gone! Anyway, I can say thanks for all you do! We enjoy all the scoops and hilarious commentary you deliver each day. Keep that tea a’flowin’ !! And on that note, CHEERS!
ChancesR… 🙂 Chances are you are a gay male. I have been so blessed to have gay men in my life who get me. For that I am everso grateful. xoxox
Nope. But still kudos and I do get you.
Do you really think that Theresa and Joe will serve any time?
Oh hell yeah Joe is for sure doing years. Tre’s case has been getting better most recently when some guy on another case said she had no idea what was going on.
Tre could get probation or house arrest but I think she deserves some time.
Ok….I am one of the few people I think that is watching true tori. It is sooooo painful to watch. It is like watching a horrible train/car wreck. There are so many things wrong. But I am starting to think it might be real and I think dean us emotionally abusing Tori by gas lighting her. Are you watching it? Do you think he is emotionally abusing her?? Would love to hear your thoughts. BTW never been a big Tori spelling fan. Can’t believe I am watching it.
I am watching but with the great DVR change apparently I don’t know when to tape it. I sort of believe Tori. It’s still a trainwreck.
FairPlay and TT, you’re not alone, I’m watching it too. I think Tori is honest. I actually searched the internet today to see if anyone else was sympathetic toward Tori because all the responses I’ve seen are negative. I think Dean has been manipulating people for a long time and now he has met someone who is authentic. She believed his lies and thought that he would rescue her and now he has to either smarten the F up or leave her. I suspect they won’t last, but I hope that Tori becomes stronger from the experience.
While it’s open mic nite here, and since I don’t know anyone else who watches, I do want to say radaronline is saying Tori has already sought a divorce lawyer. And I think she will divorce him. I have always thought this little show was her payback for what he has done. Once he is out of the picture , Candy will start helping her out. My prediction.
I watch True Tori, I’ve watched them all the way from the beginning with Tori and Dean Inn Love, read Tori’s books, even read Dean’s ex Mary Jo’s book. Not because I am a superfan, but Tori’s were easy interesting reads while home with my children. I liked them as a couple but now I am starting to have conflicting feelings. Dean is an asshole for cheating, but I am starting to feel like Tori is a consummate victim. She rubbed Mary Jo’s face in the divorce and inability to have children biologically. And while I can understand wanting to put Dean on display and somehow try and humiliate him as he has done to her, I wonder what mother would do that when her children are also in the public eye? Yes he is a schmuck, but I think Tori wants him to sit at home playing babysitter while she is out “building her brand” and that obviously ain’t Dean.
@vivaladiva831:
I am so on board! I bet you’re right about Candy! Good call!
Yeah, I don’t really sleep, hence all this time to do things like watch True Tori (but no time to clean the house! Ha ha!), so I’m sort of amazed I found someone else!
Tori is obviously so messed up (who isn’t?) But she has really horrible self-esteem and she’s so eager to please. Dean has always seemed so cheesy and phony. Tori was like striking good for him!!! He probably was counting on a significant inheritance from her father, but he still got some money, and, hell! We know who he is, so Dean wins! Fine when be was all lovely with Tori.
Now, I don’t care if you love or hate Tori, that man has HUGE power over her, and I agree that he is gaslighting the f*** outta her! He rubs his temples and is all, “I can’t go there again!” and Tori flips out, “See, he can’t handle this, I told you, he can’t do it!”
BULLSHIT. If Dean can f*** around on you and make a TV show about it, he sure as hell can handle it. Tori, on the other hand..?
TT, what do you think about Stacey Dash proposedly joining the Fox News cast?
I can barely follow the news now that I am a rich and famous blogger. lol. Seriously though, this blog is a shit ton of work I am ONE PERSON not like other sites reporting. I mean sure I have Urethra Franklin tied to the radiator on a seasonal basis but..
Isn’t Stacey Dash an actress from the game or something? I dunno. I want to remember to set my DVR to tape that Shep Shepherd dude or whoever he is that comes on around 3 or 4. he could be reporting the apocalypse and it would still be funny.
She was in clueless. She’s a black girl who makes black people mad because she tells the truth.
@teecee66; I see you’ve been quite ignorant for some time, yet you spew your perceptions of many things that are directed at Blacks period. Does your Lauren Bacall avatar get your special ed azz a free pass?
Rcadia, can’t we leave Lauren Bacall out of this? What on earth could you possibly not like about Lauren Bacall? Does she owe you money or something?
What the fuck are you trying to say? Timmy fell down the well?
Go Lassie, go Lassie, find Timmy!
@teecee66; No, what I AM saying is that you are as clueless as Stacey. And I don’t know why Val has anything to say. Guess you have your team eh. Oh, and I loved Lauren Bacall. Don’t know her views on issues in her day but I’d hope she didn’t share yours.
@teecee…too funny @ Timmy…I agree with you totally about her representing her truth, but she has always been a white girl in a black girl’s body raised by a white mother with a fan base of white fans with black folks barely knowing her. Black people were all mad about her republican view and didn;t even know her. I am not a republican but she has the right to be that without all the uproar from the black community as if that should be the focus. LMAO stil @ Timmy
@Simone; What’s so funny about teecee66’s asinine response? Dislodge your muzzle from her azz and explain?
Um…RC crazy person? Why would you jump up in down trying to pick a fight with me in TT’s happy fun time blog? You know that calling me ignorant is …well…ignorant. You know nothing about me. Now toddle along out of here.
@teecee: well gee, didn’t know I affected you that way. But you did insinuate that I’m a dog? Rut Row!! I think I’m as insulted as you. Anyhoot, wouldn’t like that the question asked of and answered by TT would have been delegated on assumption by you. So I’ll tarry along and bid you a most wonderful night. Minions…back into your shadows.
Wow. You are dumb. TT asked a question. I answered. You got offended that someone didn’t share your opinion, called ME a name, and made an ass of yourself in a most incomprehensible manner. I made a joke that you didn’t get. And you still don’t get. Several people, who I don’t know and who are not minions, laughed with me and at you. You jumped up and down some more and insulted other people. Btw, stop trying to make “azz” work. It’s not remotely amusing and makes you sound even dumber.
I’m pretty sure you’d be best to stop responding. It’s obvious that, although you are unaware of the fact, you are entirely unarmed for a war of words. I almost feel guilty. Almost. I hate dumb people who think they are smart. Like the whole cast of RHOA. Lol.
Isn’t that where all the Anti-Social illiterates hang-out to assuage their Anti-Everything egos?
Tee hee hee…
@teecee @readia50
TL;DR
Blanket statements are stupid so let’s stop making them. Stop telling me what I as a black person think por favor and instead get to know me for me.
Holy crapballs I’m late to the game. Was at an Indian wedding this weekend in Dallas and just now catching up on TT.
Teecee, love you girl but jumping on lectern for a second to (politely) disagree with your statement re Stacey Dash: “She’s a black girl who makes black people mad because she tells the truth.”
First, by using the phrasing you did, you are guilty of the same stereotyping/generalizing that SD is a victim of.
As a “black people” and a politico, I’ll only comment on the first part of your sentence because I don’t even want to know what “she tells the truth” means.
For me personally, people of all colours/creeds should be able to believe whatever the holy fuck they want because duh America. A robust democracy needs both an engaged populace and political parties who are responsive to the people whose votes they need. So for one party to be avoided because it’s not considered minority friendly is a bad look for us period.
Now, post the election of the Pres, I have seen an uptick in downright shitty behavior from elected repubs with regards to minorities of all strips. I don’t fucks with that. And what really grinds my gears are the wack ass national party leaders (Romney, Boehner, Mcconnell, et all) who continually dismiss/brush aside the more radical leanings of tea party members in an effort to keep their own seats.*
Let’s be clear, the “populist” tea party is intermingled with folks who do not want a black man in the white house. By not rooting out/destroying this disgusting faction, the republican party is in effect enabling those who would divide us. Don’t tell me it’s not a big deal or the Tea Party platform is less taxes. Tell the guy who protested at the White House by waving a confederate flag. Tell Fox who pushed the fucking racist birther nonsense for THREE YEARS. Single-handedly drove the story.
People like Stacey Dash are important for our country. In order for the republican party to be effective post 2016, it needs support from women, and minorities. Thems demographics.
The way to make the Republican party more inclusive is to engage it, not avoid it. Fiscally conservative gays should have a seat at the table and from there challenge the national party to still stress its anti-marriage stance. That’s how you root out intolerance….not by wishing and praying people will change, but by facing it head on.
What I don’t like is when blacks/minorities are trotted out as “proof” the Republican Party doesn’t cater to racists. [see what I did there?: the republican party is not racist one bit but it sure fucking enables any bigoted bastard who wants to spew his BS by giving them an open mic**]
Stacey Dash is a celebrity. Thumps up for being engaged. But let’s not pretend SHE KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK SHE IS TALKING ABOUT at least anymore than Matt Damon or the Dixie Chicks. It’s all subjective***
Footnotes:
* But 2014 is off to a great start bc repubs are realizing how hazardous the Tea Party is …. to their own election chances. Glad we’re seeing pushback finally … even if for the wrong reason.
** google the John Stewart segment with Aasif Mandvi called “Suppressing the Vote”
*** Duh
Okay off my high horse. Hugs
I know I’m joining the party late and I’ve lurked here for a while but never commented. This comment is soooooo spot on. It’s like that episode of The West Wing (Still by far the best political show ever written) where Josh meets with the gay republican congressman to explore the congressman’s feelings on gay marriage (the senator is against it). The congressman summarizes with this; “You know I never understood why you gun control people don’t all join the NRA. They’ve got two million members. You bring three million to the next meeting, call a vote. All those in favor of tossing guns… bam! Move on.” In short, change is best made from the inside. Kudos to Stacy Dash for her potential new job. I applaud her for standing up for what she believes in, even when it’s not popular (and I disagree with her).
I love Banjo!! He is beautiful. I would love to hear a funny or cute Banjo story. Also, why did you name him Banjo? Did you rescue him or get him as a puppy? Does he sleep with you? I want all the details on that cutie pie.
Regarding Survivor…. do they get to shampoo/brush teeth off camera like we all normally do or do they really have to rough it?
Did you ever watch Big Brother? Holy cupcakes that show is a hot mess and a train wreck all rolled into one pile of idiots… but I do enjoy it sometimes. 🙂
Those are my questions if you feel like answering. I do want to say how much I admire you and enjoy your smart ass humor. I wish I had a friend exactly like you. Give Banjo some extra kisses for me.
Um Jen, You do have a friend just like me! HAI!
First things first. Big Brother is my favorite show ever. go here for all the tea most of it is from Urethra Franklin. You will love them ALL I promise.
http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/?s=big+brother
Survivor is real. They do not get to brush their teeth.
Banjo? Oh shit I knew something was missing. Let me go let him inside. He’s a rescue sharpie mix 80 lbs. I got lucky. We go together like peas and carrots. His biggest crime is usually eat something I leave on the coffee table when I leave the house. If I am there he is well behaved but If I leave anything on the trunk/coffee table he eats it. Oh I forgot. I have a friend than sends me VERY expensive meats from time to time. I left one on the dining room table and apparently that was too much for him.
I mean it was very expensive meat. I can’t stress this enough. Like not, let’s splurge at Kroger but like, what the fucking Queen of England and my friend eat. He’s still alive. barely.
You fucking finally spelled my name right. I have a question. Have you ever considered writing a book? If yes, fiction or non-fiction?
First of all I love you way on up there in my first tier of loves of my life. For so many reasons, secondly, I am an old hormonal women with half a functioning brain. Sorry. And yes. I have novel in my head. It’s set on the texas border..i’.m a school teacher… he’s a student with potiental…
biography no. too dark. too hard. even though now I have so very much love. It’s a good day. I got cheese your ass will never taste. 🙂 I’m sorta okay now.
maybe

I take the same position about everything you almost. Im still going thru the archives and reading but what I have read so far I LOVE. So my question is with your taste in Tv what kind of movies do you like?
Hey wig. I like suspense I guess. Some romcom I watched a scifi today because I LOVE STARZ network. When I am famous I will stan for them and I am not even sure it was an original but it was a Matt Damon movie… It set me off kilter all day and didn’t like it but I am Team STARZ like I am and TEAM Co-cola (BEFORE THEY INSISTED ON FEEDING US HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP)
I love biographies.. and I also like crap. the main thing I WILL NOT WATCH is HORROR MOVIES and I am very anti horror movies and the ads pop up all the time. I am an adult and they give me nightmares. KIDS ARE WATCHING! I’d much rather they see two men making out or a hetero fuck act including penetration without ads for things I DO NOT WANT TO SEE.
Why do I have to be randomly exposed to horrific violence unexpectedly on my TV in ads ?
Okay TT, I can’t hod it in anymore, what’s your sun sign?
I mean Hold it in anymore.LOL
Good Morning I am trying to get caught up from where I left off, which appears to be here.
I’m a Cancer, duh. I’m mostly a hermit. 🙂
Hi Tamara, I hope your good mood has continued into this beautiful Saturday. Here in eastern NC it is 68 with low humidity and a lovely breeze.
Just wanted to thank you for your blog and recaps. It is the first place I check for the latest news.
Banjo looks like a sweetie, but as a former Shar pei owner I know looks are deceiving. I raised mine from a ten wk old puppy til she passed at 10 yrs old. Her name was Jasmine but she was also known as the” Beast from the Far East”. LOL. She hated just about every person or animal she met, save anyone she knew as a puppy. I loved her though and dealt with it.
If you are still reading , I get COKE the REAL THING at Walmart. Sold in glass bottles 12 oz made in Mexico. They are $1. My hubby is a Coke lover, so these are a real treat for him.
Keep spilling the tea and throwin’ the shade. Ciao.
It sounds like Jasmine and Banjo are a lot alike! We are fighting today because he threw up.Seems to have somehow gotten into some roasted carrots and potatoes. Of all the weird crap he eats, I can’t see where that would bother him. Bless his heart, I was in no mood to wake up to vomit everywhere.
OMG! Same! I feel like if I leave the previews for those horror movies even on my TV screen the evil will jump into my house! For real, I am NOT okay with that stuff. Horror movies are not fun for me. All I get out of them is that I’m paranoid for the next decade and a half!
TT: Just barely a Cancer — hermit tendencies but your Gemini wit shows every day. 🙂 (Greetings from Playa Hermosa!)
Hey, ‘rica! Don’t forget I need a separate apartment!!!!!!

What an awesome picture of your happy pup. Banjo looks well loved. I would like to talk about my favorite subject…ME. I too have a dog named Tonto. He is old, blind and deaf but he’s hanging in there. My favorite househusband is also Ken. I am a bleeding heart liberal, but try and forgive those with a difference of opinion (tee hee). My new favorite hobby is reading this blog. I talk about it to my husband as if I know you. He politely listens because he’s a good guy. I tend to ramble and go on tangents when I talk (and write) so I appreciate when you suffer through that with me. Let’s see, let’s see what else… Oh, I’ve never had a boob job and don’t think I could take the pain. I like watching sitcoms like; The Big Bang and Modern Family. I love Anthony Bordain and think he is as cool as it comes. I’m not very adventurous, so I watch Househunter’s international, which may not seem adventurous but that’s how I roll. I have two happy and healthy sons. My favorite places are my house or the beach. The person that my husband would give me a pass with would be Jimmy Smits, at least the Jimmy from NYPD Blues. I would love to hear your take on Anthony Bordain’s CNN show, but I have no idea if there would be enough followers. I could go on and on, but I shan’t. Oh one more thing. I shaved my armpits today. Love you all.
Valerie my love. Let me first say I had to get our of “rela mode” because I was missing so much stuff and I have other things to do. Even when it “looks like” I am here with you I have things to moderate and all kinds of boring behind the scenes things, I do EVERYTHING on this blog.
I love everything about about you. I’m only jealous that when that happens to you, there is another creature in your house. xoxo.
I’d really, really, really like to fuck Jimmy Smits too it at all possible.
Sleep well my love, it’s the weekend! Morning Mimosas!

What’s your favorite cut of beef? How do you like your eggs? When playing marry, screw or kill, in what order do you put the following? Ricky Gervais, Madonna and Justin Bieber. Are we still being allowed questions or is our time up? These are legit questions, seriously.
I know I’m 12 hours late – will send wet noodle so you can commence flogging.
What is your favorite champagne an orange juice for mimosas? I’m of the “the cheaper the better” champagne (usually Cooks) and high quality oj (preferably orange/mango). Occasionally I like to kick it up a notch and have a poinsettia – cranberry juice instead of oj.
Crap. Gotta go get some champs. And OJ. And olives. And cheese. And garbage bags.
I don’t have a favorite cut of beef. I don’t eat eggs except in food. I would kill Bieber without hesitation, screw Madonna and marry RIckey.
Jae, Cheap champagne is best for Mimosa but Cooks is terrible. I use Korbel. For the better stuff I buy that orange label Veuve, or more truthfully I try to get someone else to by the Veuve.
No no no no no!!! Cheap champagne is only good for a headache. Cava or prosecco are best for mo-mos.
OMG! I thought it was just me with the Jimmy Smits thing, although I am more partial to the West Wing era Smits. Although, not sure I would give up my hall pass with NASCAR driver Tony Stewart for Jimmy. Maybe I could convince Hubs to give me two?
I’m sure the RHOA cast members read your blog but do they know you . . . recognize you? Also, how deeply do you believe Phaedra is involved in Apollo’s criminal activities? Do you think she’s Mr. Big?
Oooh thats an excellent question that will probably get her in trouble if she answered LOL.
RHOA have no idea who I am and have never seen me. Interestingly enough Sheree had to hire a good to stalk me to find out what I look like so she could ID me in court. It’s kind of hard to claim someone is stalking you if you’ve never laid eyes on them and could not identify them. It was funny. And sort of scary.
I dunno know about Phaedra. She hasn’t been charged with anything and the Feds have investigated for years so I’d say she probably not involved. I understand it’s more fun to think she is, but until/unless she is charged, it’s probably not nice.
Speaking of Phaedra and Apollo, in my opinion I don’t think Phaedra was involved. Remember a few reunions ago, Andy asked what was it that Apollo actually does and Kandi and Phaedra tried to explain in so many words that he was not a repo man but an assests recovery agent and then finally they both said they really don’t know. Watching it I laughed so hard because in my mind it was like Phaedra was like “look he works that’s all I know” LOL. But hey like the Knowles-Carter elevator situation, we will probably never know what truly happened!
I believe Phaedra stays ahead of the game by turning everyone in or setting it up and letting the little people run it. But she’s in it all right. All the way up to her lying lips!!!
I can’t reply to your reply to my reply. TeeCee: I totally forgot about prosecco. Good call.
As for Cooks vs Korbel – no wonder I have a headache midway through bottle one.
Veuve is what I drink when I go back home for vacation. My parents tend to have at least one bottle (and one of Moët. Which autocorrected correctly. Go figure.).
I’m in the process of starting my own blog, and I was wondering how long did it take for your blog to see the results and growth you are seeing today?
It grows all the time, but it took over two years before the ads actually started to pay..I still have a long way to go there.
Hi Tamara, have you ever caught any of the housewives creeping on your blog, red handed?
Good question.
Sheree! Lol duh
Victoria is correct. And Nene blocked me on Twitter and I had never tweeted her. lol. Also several of the RH have back channeled me about a story from time to time, and their PR people. LOL.
J’Dore you TT ! You’re happiness tonight is infectious… No worries if you get cranky, I’ll still love you in the morning !
Hello Tamara, Glad you’re in such a great mood and your site is such a success. Much deserved. As for me, this week I can’t get enough of Tara the hero cat. She’s brought a much needed smile to my face.
No questions just wanted to say: Cheers, I’m a Georgia peach as well!
I’m interested, if you want to share, other than spending countless time & energy on your blog— what does a typical day look like for you ? Would you share more about your family: are either of your parents still alive ? Do you have siblings ? Have you ever been married or have children ? Other than reality TV, Blacklist & other shows you mentioned, what type of TV or entertainment do you enjoy ? What are your friends like & what do you do or talk about when you’re with them ? What other high profile trials have you followed & what do you make of them ? Where did you go to school & do you hold a formal degree ? What was your occupation before you became a blogger ?
I think that’s enough of my nosiness for now ! Hopefully, I caught you before you were too tired or have gone to bed.
Wow that is a lot of personal questions! I actually did not spawn from a rock and have a family and siblings. I have both graduate and post graduate degrees. And I feel like I have been very straightforward about my education and resume here, Perhaps you should read my blog sometime.

Didn’t mean to be too personal or nosy. I’ll hunt around for the info you said was already up. So many comments makes it hard for someone like me to keep up & read them all ! Have a great weekend TT ! Looking forward to all the interesting reading the upcoming reality week has in store !!
Whoa. Sorry, but as I read question after question after random yet very specific question I got sort of creeped out.
I ADORE you Tamara, and am so happy to have found your site. Lucky for me, I can be quite cunty like yourself.. so I love it! And its nice to have somewhere to come that isnt just posting whatever you hear about.. and to be “around” people who are as obsessed with the housewives and other shows as i am. PS. Your dog is a cutie! And thank you for all you do.. I finally have a job after a year of searching so I will be tossing some coins in the tip jar as well!!
Radio silence. Beware the Ides of Hangover Day, y’all.
lolololol
I don’t get wine hangovers usually. But I do sleep late… I made it until like 12 without falling out. lol.
Hi Tamara! Love, love, love your blog. My friends and I are constantly discussing your site and sipping your delicious tea. Please, please, pretty please, reconsider and blog about Married to Medicine. Those women are a hoot! I bet your fans would love to comment on them. They are educated women but seemingly lacking in a bit of common sense. I would love your take on their antics and foolishness. How about it?
I am so embarrassed I blog about RHOA and the others I cannot. Surely there is something better we can talk about?
I agree. Married to Medicine leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Yes there is……And thank you, thank you, thank you Tamara. I can’t watch Married for Medicine too much “Fake the Funk” for me!
Newsweek no no that show is so dumb.
Dammit, not “Newsweek”. I meant “Ewwwwwww”. Sort of weakened my comment.
🙁
Tamara… I’ve been a lurker long enough. I have loved all your honesty from the shadows, and when I saw what a fabulous evening you were having, I was so glad! And THEN I read that Big Brother was your favorite, and I knew all was ok with the world and it was time to place my first comment! I’ve been a BB fan since Season 1, and am glad to know you are a fan also. I love having all the Guilty Pleasures you blog about. You are wonderful, and I thank you for your’Tales!’
Thanks so much!
All I want to say is: Thanks for being patient with me.
OK now I have a silly question. Which actress would you want to portray you in a movie about your life?
God I dunno. Lindsay Lohan?
Well shit, I guess I was a day late and a dollar short and missed the party. Never mind though, I’m reflecting back to the first time I read this blog and how excited I was to find a blogger as authentic as TT. In my world, authenticity is QUEEN and my Southern hat is off to you. I’ve been a fan since then, and in this roller coaster world of TT’s, it’s just great fun and entertainment. You’re the BEST TT! Thanks for being you.
Oh yeah, in my lovefest I forgot to ask you if you’re still going to blog on Fargo? You don’t seem to be digging it too much.
I think I am too dumb to blog Fargo. I watched the last episode and in the beginning when he was hiding the gun and buying to socks…was that a flashback? I couldn’t figure out how to blog it without looking stupider than usual. 🙂
Love the dog. I’m a dog lover too. I have an almost 17 year old cocker spaniel who is my furry baby, but enough about me. I’m basically new to your site but I love it. You are very sarcastic and that’s a quality I greatly admire. My questions are, how many hours in the day do you spend working? It seems to me it must be endless. Do you ever get tired of it and just say fuck it–I’m not working today? What are a few of your pet peeves?
From the moment I get up to the moment I pass out from wine, er I mean go to bed, I’m constantly monitoring the blog. I have tried to make THURSDAY my day off since that is when the slow part of the week happens usually. I try to do SOMETHING outside the house that day, even if it’s just to go get my head shrunk. 🙂
Yeah, I was late too. Oh well, still good reading all the other posts. I’m all over this site every chance I get and still have so much to read. I never tire of it.
Great site TT. Thank you for sharing your great friends in here. Many bloggers are not that generous.
Question. I’ve red asterisks permanently now, in the REPLY section, lines for name and email, not the website line?
Just curious.
I dunno about the red asterisks. I don’t think I see the site exactly the way y’all do.
Do you have to keep entering your name and email? Because those would mean they’re required fields that you’ve left blank.
That’s how it is supposed to be. I don’t offer tech support beyond that, sorry.
What would your Bravo tag line be?
Kill me now, I’m on a reality show and clearly have dementia?
Lol I have one-I handle conflict appropriately and pay my bills on time.
Marry, screw, kill; Fredrik, Ryan and Luis.
Thanks for this. It’s been a blast!
Marry Fredrick, Kill Ryan, screw Luis.
Hey Tamara, first time posting here. I just wanted to let you know that you are an international success as I am writing this from my terrace in sunny Greece!
Discovering your blog was very refreshing for a housewife fan like myself. No one on this side of the planet knows who NeNe is and the internet is filled to the brim with hate and lack of empathy so I couldn’t really share my passion anywhere.
Something that is on my mind though, since we share the same controversial feelings about many controversial housewives like Kenya and from what I gathered Aviva, how can you like Caroline? she made my skin crawl with her condescending slightly above Average Jane god complex and contributed so much toxicity to all the drama that was petty and entertaining before she stuck her nose in it. I’d love to see your thoughts on Caroline, how deep you had to dig for a redeeming quality. I’d also be very interested in seeing what you think about Heather on RHONY..
Regardless, thank you for entertaining me with your fantastic blog 🙂 and please excuse the sometimes poor English.
First of all, thanks for inviting me to your lovely home. I shall be on the next flight. 🙂
I dunno, We must have been watching different shows when it comes to RHONJ. I thought she was a real housewife with a family that was her main focus. She’s a bit of an overbearing mother and certainly has faults like everyone else but I found her to be saner than most of the HW and the least self involved and ridiculous.
Tamara do you watch Game of Thrones?
Not really. I mean I binge watch, but with the great DVR Change of 2014 I have sort of lost my place.
TT, have you ever met any of the HW’s? Or anyone from Bravo? If not, who would you like to meet?
Other than meeting Sheree in court on numerous occaisions, I met Jill Zarin selling shapewear in the mall. I have no desire to meet anyone from Bravo other than the girls from Shahs of Sunset. We used to chat a bit before their lives blew up and got so busy.
Have you ever watched Ab Fab on BBC and isn’t it the best show ever ever ever? I want to be Patsy when I grow up (although it’s too late for that given my age and I think you’ve already become her). 🙂
Sorry I was late to the party but old folks like me can’t stay up late anymore – unless you count getting up in the middle of the night to pee because the kidneys just don’t have the staying power anymore. Oh Gawd! I sound like Vicki!
This answer is going to kill TRho, but no, no I have not.
Am I the only southern charm fan? I particularly enjoyed seeing “behind the politics.” I was also mesermized by Catherine’s whorishness. At the reunion Andy seemed to be as well. The fact that she had slept with 3 of the 4 male cast members yet no one had a problem was fascinating.
Lol I think they had problems with it-they were just too polite to say so.
Read further up in the comments. There are a bunch of us SC fans! Sadly, TT is not join going our club.
Joining***
Wait she did what? I didn’t even bother to watch and now I am upset I didn’t. I mean reality TV is my guilty/ not so guilty pleasure and this seems like a real wealthy ratchet story lineeeeeeeee *refills wine glass*
How about some dumb blogs to keep us entertained and less work for you.
Like questions to us. Examples:
What are our favorite and most hated HW’s.
What are our favorite HW scenes ever?
ETC
Oh can we please have a where are they now?!!! It doesn’t need to be just housewives. I’ll take anything.
Favorite HW moment to date:
(RHONY)
Carole, Sonja, and Ramona in their canoe after the whole wine glass throwing thing.
In her regular, calm voice, Carole says, “You guys are fucking crazy. I’m outta here.” Then does the most graceful dive off the canoe as Ramona’s eyes pop and she clutches her wine bottle.
Not so much what happened/what was said, more a matter of how it all played out–so, so funny!
I love Big Brother too.
Do you know what Dwight is up to?
Have you ever been to Bar One?
I think, Dwight has some health issues. I saw him on a commercial for something, MTM maybe? And he looked good.
I have not gone to Bar One, nor would I.
I missed this event as well I’m extremely new on twitter and was attracted to all the blogs on the HWs as well as getting to read the HWs tweets got me interested but when I noticed yours it was above all the rest. I love reading your spoilers they are an interesting read. I love Big Brother as well I’m so addicted. I watch every one of them.
Thanks Holly, I think I am caught up! Now I need to go deal with all the moderated comments!
Do you ever hear from edgar?

Yes! Edgar wanders through the basement from time to time, still on his mission to defend Jodi Arias. 🙂 I love Edgar.

Love the blog, so impressed with the amount of research that you provide and that is one seriously handsome pup.
Do the ATL new stations report stuff about the RHOA? How about Apollo’s troubles?
How was the coverage and reviews of Kand’s play?
Speaking of stupid people, some dude just emailed me that he really liked my blog and was going back reading older posts and when he got to the Jodi Arias posts, we parted ways. lololl.
I suppose he is team brutal murderer and I am not. I’m so glad he identified himself early.
Of course. They report on all crime and entertainment stories.

Ohh ok good, been looking at everything , thanks for the answer. Keep on keeping on girl. I love your blog. Best damn tea around
I hope you’re still in a question answering mood because I have three I would like answered.
1. Do you read all posts people post on your site, including the ones which have fallen off the recent comments list?
2.Why do some people have links on their user names in comments and avatars, while others do not?
3. Why cant we edit out comments to correct mistakes, spelling errors or add thoughts to a post.
Bonus question:
Since you are often working when you are online, do you get annoyed by multiple tweets or questions from us (meaning me… i suppose)
I read almost all the comments. Sometimes when I am in a time crunch I skim the regulars comments because I trust they aren’t saying anything ridiculous, libelous or annoying. I also skim the ones in moderation from the regular illiterates. The latter group doesn’t even seem to realize that their comments never go through, which is not surprising since they don’t really seem to know what planet they are on. 🙂
I don’t really know about the links. Either the links go to the website you enter if you enter one when you sign in, or it’s a gravatar thing where they put their website in when they sign up there.
The way wordpress is set up they don’t offer an editing feature. It’s not something I can turn on or off. However, I can edit my comments and everyone elses. The latter is fun for fucking with trolls.
No, the only time I get annoyed is when I am super busy and someone wants me to find a post about XYZ for them. For me to do that I go to the site and use the search box just like they could. Most of the time I don’t mind doing that but Sunday nights and Monday nights I usually don’t have the time.

Greetings! Long time lurker here. I LOVE this site. When I get to work, it’s literally one of the first pages I check every day (still trying to figure out how I missed this one). You are extremely thorough! After I’m done reading one of your posts, I feel like I’ve actually watched the show. A couple of times I’ve had conversations with my coworkers about RHOA and have forgotten that I didn’t really “see” it. :-/ So, kudos to you. Glad you had a chance to unwind. 🙂
