First of all, I haven’t forgotten about the Christmas tree contest. I’m just sort of freaking out about it! Literally every time someone sent me a photo I said, “Oh wow, this one is the clear winner!” I have no idea how to make this decision. I was thinking about having y’all vote. Or drawing a number out of a jar. Or something. Then I have to figure out a prize! I’m open to any advice as clearly I can’t keep putting it on my list of things to worry about tomorrow much longer.
In other random thoughts, I’ve been wondering about Kanye West. I am not a fan of Kanye West, and never really give him much thought. But lately, I’m starting to obsess about him. When I sort through all the daily entertainment news, his absence has been notable. It’s just weird to me that this is not something that the big sites are really addressing. Does he even live with his kids? He has abandoned his music and his fashion line for the most part. Is he going the route of Richard Simmons?
And why do I care?
Also, on my mind it black-eyes peas, turnip greens and cornbread on Monday. I’m going to make blackeyed peas tomorrow and share them with Banjo. I don’t think I have enough turnip greens and I am loath to go back to Kroger tomorrow, but I might just do it. In the south we eat blackeyed peas on the first day of the year for luck and turnip greens for money. Though for some reason, turnip greens are hard to find and most people eat collard greens now. While I like both, I prefer turnip greens and love drinking the “pot liquor” that is made by cooking the greens. It’s really quite healthy and tasty. Do y’all have New Year’s Day traditions? I’m hungry just thinking about it.
I also have not one but TWO bottles of fancy champagne for my private NYE celebration. I’ve got some alouette and crackers and cheese and veggie chips and am looking forward to it. Now I have the alouette song stuck in my head. Alouette, gentille alouette, alouette Je te plumerai! I confess I will probably try to watch the CNN NYE show despite really wanting to boycott it for Kathy Griffin. While I found her photo with the Trump head really awful, I do not think the punishment of being blackballed from ever working in the US again a fitting punishment. Plus I always spend my NYE with Anderson. But frankly, I may have to switch over to Ryan Seacrest, particularly for the Mariah debacle. So I will probably flip around. What are your plans?
The moon was really pretty tonight. If you missed it, you might want to take a peek.
That’s all for today. Tomorrow I’ll make an NYE post for those of us staying up to celebrate to live post in.
I’ve wondered about Kanye a few times in recent months too. It’s been 8 months since he went on his “mountain retreat” in Wyoming, and we’ve heard very little about him since.
I did notice his Christmas gift of share certificates to Kim – that was particularly crass and vulgar. (Or at least, sharing the fact on Instagram was crass and vulgar.)
I’m not convinced he really lives with Kim and the kids, we never see photos of him anymore. I have wondered if he’d gone for some kind of long-term psychiatric care after his meltdown, and the media were being unusually respectful by not reporting it, but given how they treated Amanda Bynes and Britney that seems improbable. That said, the Kardashians have remarkable control over the media (especially TMZ), and are skilled in trading stories in return for quashing those they don’t want out in public, so anything’s possible.
Astoundingly, LVP is good at controlling TMZ as well. http://tamaratattles.com/2016/07/03/blind-item-revealed-dinner-is-free-if-you-work-for-tmz/ (blind item reveal?)
Here are my thoughts on the Christmas tree contest! Number the trees and have us vote or you draw the number. The prize is another year of your spectacular blog. That in itself is several prizes each day as far as I’m concerned! Happy New Year to you and Banjo. I hope 2018 is your best year yet in everything you wish and hope for! I will be glad to send this year out and start fresh in many ways in 2018! This year has not been my friend in many ways but I remain very blessed and am thankful for that!!
The trees are all numbered already so feel free to weigh in. I prefer a fat tree so I feel like we should have a best fat tree and best skinny tree.
that sounds cool! where are the pic’s located? on the tree contest page?
– if post the top 10 of the xmas trees – we can vote! woo hoo
– I thought Kanye said he was running for President in 2020
– we have Freixenet brut champagne and Bottega pink champagne waiting for tomorrow!
– I never watched anderson, I don’t like Anderson
– tonite we are watching #UFC219 Holmes VS cris cyborg
He said he was leaving the country if Trump won too. Maybe he did….He also says a lot of crazy shit. I hope he’s ok even though I think he’s nuts and mean.
Good morning Jen
He is also annoying and for some reason -doesn’t allow common sense to dominate him, unless he is on Ellen show.
Haven’t spotted him in Canada – so far so good! lol
yes he is junk yard dog mean
He may be mean cause he is sick and wants to be in bed, lol.
As for Kanye, I am happy to not hear his rants or have to look at his resting bitch face. He can stay wherever he is.
I agree with Susan May about the trees, pick a number. A great prize would be to let them in on a juicy tidbit that you have holding on to.
I agree about boycotting Anderson. Not sure I can take that much of AC all at once. Not sure what i am going to watch yet.
Hope everyone has a fun and safe NYE and NYD. Hope 2018 is a better year for all.
Thanks Tamara for providing all of a place to catch up, vent, rant, commiserate, and generally have a good time.
I don’t have twitter or Instagram so I don’t really hear much about the kardashian/Jenner/west’s anyways unless there’s an article on a celebrity gossip blog. I’ve noticed though that even with three kardashians expecting babies, there has been very little news or photos of them. Maybe they, and Kanye, are all keeping a very low profile so that everything will be fresh when it plays out on their show?
My husband, 11 year old son, and I have a New Year’s Eve tradition of staying up and playing board games and watching the Clue movie while eating Doritos and other treats. Around this time of year we always watch the two Home Alone movies, too.
About the tree contest: I think most of us just really enjoyed seeing each other’s trees and sharing our own. I know that I was not expecting there to be a huge, expensive prize for the winner. Maybe if it’s too difficult for you to choose one winner, you could pick your top 5 and have your readers vote? Or I’ve occasionally been to a website where people vote on something using one of those March madness type bracket things where the winners of round one go up against each other in round two, etc, until the final 2 end up going up against each other and a winner is crowned. That might be difficult to impliment though.
SInce an open forum. Had furnace guy check out my furnace today…two plus hours late. Overcharged me for repairs..talked about nothing when he was working. TUrned out he left his cell phone at my house. Told company I was pissed about what they charged..Company told me would not cash my check until I can talk to a supervisor on Tuesday. WHat a great Saturday.
,
Oh yum, now I want cornbread.
I want greens…miss them terribly…sometimes I buy canned and dr. them up but NOT THE SAME! I really wished I’d have paid better attention all those years ago but I was young and dumb thankful for the hospitality and ate up!
The guy did come back to pick up his cell phone..Hours later! WOuld not cancel invoice and make adjustment…had to talk to the supervisor. Happy New Year!
Bah Humbug. I find these guys generally have a horrible attitude. I prefer the young guys to the old ones (it’s usually the opposite. I had a problem with my furnace guy last year. He came to perform the yearly maintenance (very $$$) and when he left, he casually mentioned as he walking out the door, “one of your valves is broken-you should do something about it) WTF??
Oh! I have another recipe for you! carmelize a few onions, for a nice long time, get a pocketless pita or a boboli pizza crust, spread on alouette garlic cheese spread, then the onions, then pop them in the oven for five minutes. They are sooo good, I made them for a Christmas appetizer. I had not made them in a while, forgotten how good they were.
OMG, that sounds delicious.
so good, and pretty easy
I just spent over 2 hours washing and tearing collard greens for New Years Day dinner. I hate collard greens and only cook them once a year. They’re a pain in the ass to wash and smell up the house…but I do it anyway, it’s tradition for some reason. In addition to collard greens you also have to cook black-eye peas, pork loin and cornbread. I’m a big fan of black-eye peas, pork loin and cornbread.
For the Christmas Tree contest I say pull a number out of a hat. Save yourself the stress of having everyone vote and counting the votes.
Stop worrying about Kanye, he’s either locked away somewhere or buried in a back yard in Calabasas. He didn’t buy the stocks, Kris did, with his money. I don’t know a lot about him or his music but feel sorry that he got hooked up with the Krazy Kardashian clan.
I’ll be in bed before the peach drops. One of my dogs hates fire works and has to be held and I have to start cooking early so I can watch Georgia beat the pants off Oklahoma. GO DAWGS!
I have big plans. Tons of my South Carolina besties in town and going out for a big boozy brunch then headed up to Palm Beach for the rest of the week with the hubs and my BFF of 35 Years.
Off topic but, I could really use some advice from any fellow dog owners! Our dog had a little pink at the bottom of his nose which we figured was a little scrape from roughhousing. But, now it’s spread to the other side of his nose and down toward his lip. We made a vet appointment for Wednesday cause holiday weekend. It doesn’t seem to be bothering him but, I’m super worried. I looked up what it could be and there are so many results some of which are really scary, some not so much. Has this happened to anyone else’s pup? If it’s really bad I could call a vet that does house calls but, it’s so expensive. Like really really expensive. Will he be ok if we wait till Wednesday?
I’m so sorry. I hope your dog will be OK. It could be eczema or dermatitis, which are pretty easily treatable.
Thank you! I hope so.
Sounds like eczema…. I have two bulldogs and they are probe to skin conditions, I give them half a tea spoon of unrefined coconut oil each day and they’ve each had no problems for more than a year.
I’ll get some of that. Thank you!
When did the pink start? If it has been spreading fast you can give Benadryl
We noticed it about a week or so ago. But, we really didn’t think much of it because he’s always playing ball and wrestling around with his doggie pals. It seems to be spreading faster in the past 24 hours. Maybe I should try a little Benadryl.
And maybe hydrocortisone cream?
Yes thank you! I put some on earlier. He wasn’t a fan of course but, he dealt with it.
Another option is benadryl, I have a neopolitan mastiff, has the same thing especially with this crazy weather, vet told me to get cheapest pills not name brand. No difference. Clears her up, I only give it to her when needed, but seems to clear up skin, nose and eyes quickly
Thank you! We’re going to try that when my husband gets home from work. Getting him to eat a pill, even wrapped in a treat, and then to not spit it out is a two person job! Glad to hear it works for your girl!
I’m not sure how big your dog is, but my vet recommended liquid baby Benadryl for my Yorkie. It was easier to take a syringe and squirt it into her mouth than to try to give her a pill.
Oh good idea thank you!!
It’s so bitterly cold here I’m not sure we’re going out. Temperatures in the teens, which I know is warm compared to the midwest but Jesus. Plus I’ve had a horrible cold. I always seem to crash this time of year. I think it’s because I work like an idiot and run myself into the ground and then there’s all the holiday parties and going out in December. It’s like ten times the people lining up to cough on you. Feeling a bit better but not sure I’m going to be up for more socializing by tomorrow night.
Quite possibly we’re going to just watch bad teevee and go to bed before midnight. I think we have some Bollinger in the house which come to think of it should probably go in the fridge right now before I forget. (The good stuff that I can’t drink because the bottle is too pretty 😉 is in NYC, where I wouldn’t be caught dead on NYE).
We won’t watch any of the countdown shows. Anderson Cooper gives me the creeps. And I would not f*ck him with Andy Cohen’s penis. Never got the fuss. Hopefully something good on Turner Classic Movies. Or, I guess if we feel motivated there is a party down the street that should be chill and pretty fun.
There’s fireworks in town on New Year’s Day and neighbors have invited us over for pasta and freshly shaved truffles from some hunk they had sent over from Italy. Should be tasty. Then back to work. 🙁
“We won’t watch any of the countdown shows. Anderson Cooper gives me the creeps. And I would not f*ck him with Andy Cohen’s penis”
WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?????
You are ruining my life!
But as my true north, you are sort of making me understand why Cohen likes Cooper.
You know things I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW!
Just let me love Anderson Cooper. He lives in a fire station for fucksake!
Also, PBS is running a marathon of Downton Abbey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yeah ♡ Thomas thanks for info DVR set
I’ve been re-watching downton abbey on amazon lately. I’m up to season 4. I love the dowager countess. She’s my most favorite character. “What is a ‘weekend’?”
“People like us are never unhappily married. Sometimes husband and wife just can’t see as much of each other as they would like…”
I used to like Anderson way more before I discovered he was BFF with Andy Cohen – surely that has to show a certain lack of discernment? Oh well, I still find him to be a really good and probing reporter, and never really understood why he did the New Year’s Eve thing with Kathy Griffin. It seemed kind of beneath him, and he looked so uncomfortable. I think Kathy Griffin’s “punishment” for her stupid Trump’s head photo was way out of line with the so-called crime. OK, tell her it was in bad taste and she completely miscalculated how it would be received, but to essentially end her career in the U.S.A? No way. I would still go see her in concert, if only to thumb my nose at the people who came down so hard on her.
Tamara, thank you for working so hard to keep this site up and running. It’s the first thing I check every day, and has given me some of my best laughs during the past year. You’re awesome. After my husband’s death in August, I was able to spend much more time on the Internet, and your page was definitely the highlight. Still don’t know how you and the other ladies can get such detailed recaps up and running in such a short time. My brain doesn’t work like that. I’d have to rewind a million times to get it all down. Thanks to all of you for the information and entertainment, and thanks to your fabulous followers, who are without a doubt some of the most awesome commenters anywhere. Wishing everyone a healthy, happy, prosperous New Year. May all your dreams come true.
Some of us do not get husbands at all. So be happy for the time you ha!d, I’m incredibly jealous of that
I lost my SO 15 years ago right before Christmas (on my birthday). To deal, I threw myself into my work, working long long hours. I quit working a year ago. Since then, I too am becoming jealous of those with spouses — or at least I will call it wistful when I hear about their times together. Like you, TT, I have dog(s) (3 of them) to keep me company. And my kids have been home for the holidays, and I am so grateful for that. But loneliness is something always underlying the surface and it’s hard to fill that void. Places like this really help. Thanks to you TT and everyone here. Happy New Year.
“wistful” that is the perfect word for it, It’s somewhere in between jealous and happy,
And I flirt a lot with people’s husbands sometimes because I long for that relationship just not with anyone I’ve ever met and certainly not with my friends husbands. I love them FOR THEM. And often stick up for the male in the relationship, but I really don’t want any of the husbands.
I a wistful because I want that sort of relationship, At least not with their men. If I could turn a gay man.,,, I could think of quite a few! lol I think I am a gay man in a fat woman’s body.
you could turn this one ! Turn the titanic around haute lady ! xoxp Marc p.s who needs chaulk when you got witty repartee bon mots & a hilarious take on everything ! Keep your chin up TT I promise I will do the same. 2018 is scared of us!
“After my husband’s death in August, I was able to spend much more time on the Internet”? That comes off sounding really callous and inappropriate. I miss him dearly and would give anything to have him back. I just meant that being a full-time caretaker didn’t leave much time for surfing the Web. Don’t know why I felt I had to clarify that, but apparently I needed to.
Nah, you didn’t need to clarify. It’s just that not everyone meets THE ONE. I’m never going to have someone. I’m just being jealous .
You are the one ! Stop looking gorgeous !
See? Gay men love me.
And I love them back. I’m EXTREMELY LUCKY in that regard.
I remember my dead sister telling my parents about going out to a bar with me. She explained ” she’s like a gay magnet. they all approach her,”
I think God invented gay men for me. Without them my life would suck. Seriously.
I’ve been a fag hag my entire life, and based on what I’ve seen, I got the better deal.
It didn’t sound callous at all. I’m sure it’s been a big transition after taking care of a loved one for so long.
My husband left 14 months ago (not nearly the same as a death), it still hurts many days and I feel the loss most keenly on holidays or when something good/bad happens with our son. I always come to this site for a laugh and a diversion-especially at these silly women on Reality TV!
I’m new to TT but your posts are always similar to my thoughts, kinda look for you.
I had no idea of your recent loss! Teared up, God bless!
2018? I’ve been saying this a lot these past few weeks but I believe it, is going to a really good year.
Thanks TT for your open forum!
Thank you, Kipper. I’m going into this new year with optimism and enthusiasm – a lot of people suffered different kinds of loss this year, and I hope 2018 is a really good year for all of us.
I have high expectations for 2018. I’ve been looking for a move,
I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to move to Libya, I miss it so much. I keep waiting for that country to bee stable again, We managed to kill Gaddafi and make it worse.
Tamara I think as a gift you can have made your very own shirt! I know I would love one.
On the dog note maybe impetigo or a nick goes south when they are being dogs in dirt and mud. Like a hot spot but with a staph component. Only reason i think it might be is my son will get a nick in one spot on his chin he’s a boy he plays in dirt and his freaking chin will be tiny speck then spread hourly. Dogs are weird. My golden Maverick is allergic to life. The weird ass 120 plus beast we rescued can eat duck shit and fish bait never even burps. D clean it with dial soap. Dry it then use an antibiotic creme until vet. If it’s spreading it might be a moist issue the creepy crawlers love wet hairy places. I witch hazel and hydrogen peroxide 50/50 plus muprocin ointment 3 times. Poor guy/gal. I’m constantly shoving Benadryl down my goldens throat. He hears the cap opening and runs. God help me if I have to purchase epi pens for this luv nugget too.
Thank you! I was wondering if it could be an infected cut. Your son and dog both sound adorable!
I’m not saying the KW name, he might hear us and come back. I’m fine with him staying wherever he is. Let’s hope his time is just over, like Jessica Simpson or Ricky Martin. Time moves on, we cant drag along all the celebrities and Hot Names from the past forever. Maybe he really is gearing up to run for president in 2020. He’s just that crazy, he might do it.
I am just fine with the state of Kathy Griffin’s affairs. The Trump head, the phony apology, then taking it back-all a stupid, clueless fiasco. she’s a nasty little foul mouthed gremlin. It will eventually pass and she’ll be running her mouth again. Can you tell I’ve never cared for her?
I can’t really focus on it being the New Year. In this house we are waiting-with enormous anxiety- for the Clemson-Alabama game.
I’m totally TEAM CLEMSON (TIGER RAG!) and TEAM GEORGIA (GO DAWGS!)
I’m totally TEAM CLEMSON (TIGER RAG!) and TEAM GEORGIA (GO DAWGS!)
I’m totally TEAM CLEMSON (TIGER RAG!) and TEAM GEORGIA (GO DAWGS!)
I’m waiting for the Alabama – Clemson game, also. Roll Tide, but I sure do like Dabo!
Clemson for this household! I pray they win, or otherwise I will have a grumpy honey for at least a week. 🙁
I’m singing the Tiger Rag as long as it is not against Georgia and sometimes even if it is,
I might love the state of SC more than GA and it’s okay because my Daddy was from SC,
Don’t tell NAA but ” And I would not f*ck him with Andy Cohen’s penis.” might me my new favorite expression.
But I would fuck Anderson with his own penis. He makes no issue of saying he too would not fuck Andy Cohen. IJS.
This comment of mine really doesn’t make sense. But the gist of it is, STAY AWAY FROM ANDY COHEN’S PENIS, and my GBF can’t even do me the decency of saying Anderson Cooper is fuckable.
That said, my GBF is WAY hotter than Anderson Cooper. But still. AND DER SON COO PER,
OMG. Are you still up? Go to bed.
WHY ARE YOU UP? I just woke up because I CANNOT BREATHE THROUGH MY NOSE and I CAN’T FIND MENTHOLATUM!
How do you spell Mentholatum?
WHY ARE YOU UP? I just woke up because I CANNOT BREATHE THROUGH MY NOSE and I CAN’T FIND MENTHOLATUM!

WHY ARE YOU UP? I just woke up because I CANNOT BREATHE THROUGH MY NOSE and I CAN’T FIND MENTHOLATUM!

I’m up because it’s almost 8 AM. 🙂
Thanks for answering my question that was important enough to ask three times.
So rich people get up very early on purpose?
I am just up trying not to die from “sleep apnea” the latest bullshit illness. Basically, I’ve got snot head.
Nobody would have to do anything with anyone’s penis if I was about, ‘cos I’d be a happy little slice of ham in a daddy sammich.
ew. I Think it is a kind of a rule we don’t discuss your sex life beyond “It’s all good!” Fag Hags like to always maintain the thought that WE HAVE A CHANCE PLEASE PLAY ALONG!
Is that why my best friend likes me to use the euphemism “popping out for a coffee” instead of, “I’m off for a shag”?
It all makes sense now… ?
Lost my husband in 2016 after 2 years solo caretaking pancreatic cancer. Emotional physically and mentally draining. I do feel your pain and was brought up short by Tamaras comment some don’t get a husband at all. Very true and makes me appreciate what I did have. Pick a tree, continue your blog and try to remove pressure from yourself. WE MADE IT THROUGH CHRISTMAS PEOPLE!!! That’s enough.
How about a TT calendar for the prize? Funny pictures and 12 of your best snarks? It could be really fun and you could sell them too. Not that you need more work…
I like Anderson, but stopped watching him on NYE because I don’t like Kathy.
He met Kathy through his mom, Gloria Vanderbilt, who loves Kathy.
I won’t be watching Anderson with Andy.
And I am ok with Ryan, but unlikely to watch that.
I am going to early dinner with friends.
They are getting up early and going with a group to Pasadena to see the floats, where the floats to after the parade.
I will be sleeping, my cat will be sleeping..
I will not have greens or pras.
Info have pulled pork and Apple fritters.
And homemade tamales!!!!!! My Hair Stylist learned to make them and gives them at this time of year.
Last night I paid for the second half of 2017 property tax, which I think will be useful for 2017 as opposed to 2018.
I even have my turbo tax software waiting for 1099 and other forms to arrive.
Fat trees, skinny trees, trees with kittens, love them all.
I think you have plenty of suggestions for doggie nose..
When I used to breed Labrador Retrievers, w e used Panel of ointment.. Good stuff.
I wish for a great 2018 for all of us.. Stay warm!
You seem a bit drunk… which makes for an excellent opportunity to try to steal some tamales.
Sigh. Back when I was semi-sane and employed, I was great at making the Mexican moms bring me tamales. See, there is a great kids book called “Too Many Tamales” and I would invite them all to bring in Tamales for the class.
I am a horrible person. LOL. But the Tamales were incredible.
Not a bit drunk, but I often seem that way, I gather. And my wonky autocorrect just heightens the illusion!
The tamales are safe at the moment.
That was a brilliant way to get those tamales.
Panalog is the ointment for pets.
It is 3pm and I did get up earlier to feed the cat, but got more sleep.
I hope everyone enjoys their unique passage to the new year.. I just hope for no gunshots in the air or loud illegal fireworks tonight.
Let the universe decide which photo to chose as I am sure they are all lovely ! Happy New Year Be well dear friend & spirit animal. All the best for 2018 xo Marc
I feel a bit guilty telling you all that today is my 34th wedding anniversary and I have been married over half of my life. Like everyone we’ve had our ups and downs, but it’s definitely up right now. When we first got married (in my white Gunne Sax wedding dress with long sleeves and lace everywhere!) we would make a point of doing something ‘special’ to celebrate like going to a bed and breakfast, or to San Francisco for a concert… not so much anymore which is fine for both of us. . My husband’s favorite meal to eat out is breakfast, and he LOVES clam chowder; I’m surprising him by taking him to a great breakfast place that he’s never heard of before that YUP, serves homemade clam chowder for breakfast! After that if we don’t eat too much maybe we’ll go to a matinee, or we’ll just go home and zonk out on the bed with our 24 year old kitty Leo (he’s my profile picture). I realize how lucky I am and the happier and closer I feel to him can make me feel like I’ll never see gim again when he walks out the door to do a simple errand. But my problems are for another day, another column.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO TT, BANJO, AND ALL OF THE COMMENTERS WHO HAVE GIVEN ME LIFE, LAUGHS, PERSPECTIVE AND COMPANIONSHIP. MAY YOUR 2018 GIVE ALL OF YOU WHAT YOU SO RICHLY DESERVE.
This is the sweetest thing I’ve ever read. I love a good love story. I suppose I should be jealous, but I’m not really. At least not in the way that I don’t want you to have it. Instead I am thrilled that anyone has it, I’m very happy that you know how special it is,
Ah Gunne Sax. 🙂
Ah gunne sax, wore lace and satin at my first wedding, bought it at the gunne sax outlet in San Francisco…
give to me your leather… take from me my lace….
That’s just about how it all went down…Needless to say that marriage didn’t take!
It’s really nice to hear that there are truly happily married people! Congratulations ravynrobyn! Happy New Year!
Thanks so much, Kipper! Happy New Year to you, too!
Thanks, T!
That’s where I got mine too! And the thrifty little girl that I was, I drove to UKIAH to get a $3 wedding veil, ha ha! GAS was so damn cheap back then that I didn’t lose any money
I used to live in Lake County!
Thanks, T!
Wow. Great story. My husband and I are married 7 years. We have two littles. My house is a disgusting mess right now. It’s so so cold out plus hubby has a cold so I’m making him sleep in the basement because he snores bad and everything feels all crazy right now because we need to coordinate our schedules while the kids are off school this week and the kids will no doubt have cabin fever by noon but we don’t want to go any where. It’s loud, messy and crazy but I know before long it will be quiet and tidy with too much time on our hands. I always love love stories of long marriages gives me a lot of hope. Happy New YEAR!
“I’m making him sleep in the basement” See this is the opposite of what I wanted,
He snores TT. That’s not sexy and makes me angry! Stop snoring and come to bed. I just can’t go to jail this week for smothering him…so to the basement you go. It’s cozy down there with a fire place, leather couch and big screen tv
Oh! I’d love to join him. Hopefully I can live up to someone as sexy as you,
My dogs snore like grown men. I find it a comforting sound.
I snore like a grown man too! I like to think it’s sexy…
It DOES sound sexy! Like when you have a cold and your voice is all deep and stuff ?
Also, I just got my Amex bill that had my GIRNORMOUS hosting bill on it, WTF? That is supposed to come out of the business account! I’m still half drunk and it is a holiday, but have I been paying this bill twice?
Sigh. I have got to go back to bed now that I can breathe. But something tells me as soon as I lay down….I’ll be all stopped up again.
Also A GIANT BILL just hit my mailbox.
if you can make it out, buy some mucinex. store brand is fine and a lot cheaper. it helped me tremendously in the breathing dept. happy new year kid
Thanks. As long as I sit up, I’m fine, but as soon as I lay down.. I CAN NOT BREATHE.
Used to give shots to the Kanye types now newly retired. I read that Kim thinks he is off his meds as he’s all manicky and acting weird. Hard to stabilize someone like him and could take a team. Sure he is in hiding plus those psych meds you have to cooperate. He has gain weight though.
Feel like crap myself-I think it’s my body telling me to slow down. Sounds like you, like myself are learning to do that. I have no Banjo, not ready-jealous of that!! You have a special place in our hearts I feel; you’re very candid and real. Happy New Year Everybody!!!
Banjo rescued me when I needed him most but one day will sell the shack and move to Tripoli.
Happy New Year’s Eve everyone. I figure just living in Las Vegas is celebrating, lol.
I never am awake at midnight. My nightmare is going anywhere tonight because there are so many people. I’ve lived it, done it, but actually, 1980-1981 at a party, after trying for a year to get his attention, I finally asked Chris if he wants to play BackGammon, and I rubbed his leg under the table. Been together ever since. ??
Even though it’s been a complicated 36 years, with divorcing and re-marrying, and divorcing. We’re happier divorced and finally did what we wanted.
That’s a soul mate, right there.
Just never didn’t love each other.
And Early Happy New Year’s Daintyfeets, it is going to be a great upcoming year!!??????
I went to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra in Cleveland with my sister. The show was awesome! They ended the show with the song Cleveland Rocks! The drive home was horrible and the snow just piled up where you couldn’t see the lines on the highway. But still had a great time. I highly recommend seeing them.
Happy new year my friends and make it a good one!
Gonna watch Andy and Anderson . Gonna watch cause on WWHL, Anderson said Andy kept texting him outfits he wanted to wear. Anderson was like, Dude it’s gonna be frigid, you just need a heavy winter coat. Anderson basically said ,Quit obsessing over your outfit!! Gonna be funny seeing Andy in the artic New York weather tonight in his fashion choice lol. Gonna freeze their ass’s off, the both of them.
I just want to see Cohen be fucking miserable. Cooper has been in all sorts of dangerous and scary and uncomfortable situations…. He can handle it. Cohen will Quit before midnight and will also disparage Kathy Griffen.
In the past I’ve watched Anderson & Kathy leading up to midnight because I absolutely adore Anderson and loved watching Kathy make him squirm. I’ll watch again tonight because I have a feeling Andy is going to do the same thing while freezing his cojones off.
I wonder if they can be nearly as funny as Anderson and Kathy.
Seems what was funny was her ability to shock Anderson, without him being able to know what she will do next.
Andy ain’t that funny, lol.
Probably not. Kathy’s humor is pretty unique and it kept Anderson on his toes.
Jenny McCarthy says you have to wear a diaper. No potty nearby. Andy wasn’t too pleased hearing that. Just think frozen pee in his pants tonight.
Happy New Year, TT.
Happy New Year, Spunk!
I went to bed after 2 am and woke up at six. I fear I may miss the whole damn thing.
Nothing says “Happy New year,” like ringing it in with a good case of adult diaper rash.
I’m planning to watch AC2. I wanted to see their live show when they were in town but my friend who I was supposed to go with suddenly didn’t have it in the budget and it was more than I wanted to spring for her. I’m still regretting it. I am a KG fan too, but I’m not feeling too conflicted over it.
I think I saw that KW was in Australia right now. Maybe. I find their whole relationship to be quite bizarre, but we only see so little of it so who knows. I still feel like his marrying her was some kind of artistic expression that he didn’t quite comprehend, rather than genuine love.
Who is KW?
Happy New Year Tamara!
I hope the black eyed peas don’t give Banjo gas. We fed my MIL’s bulldog some last year and she was farting like she was in a yoga class for a few hours after. I don’t know if bulldogs are more or less gassy than other breeds, but I feel like a fair warning is in order.
As for Kathy, I hate that she got blacklisted for something that wasn’t nearly as bad as the images sent out about Obama during his election (many of which Trump retweeted). Of course she is a public figure, but I honestly thought that shit went out of style after the McCarthy era. I enjoyed her sense of humor and loved her reality show. Her loudmouth and “fuck it” attitude always reminded me of Lisa Rinna pre-RHBH.
When it comes to Anderson and Andy, I chalk it up to each of them wanting to be the coolest kid in school. Andy is a starfucker who wants to know and elevate the most famous person in the room. Anderson, refuses to date a starfucker, but always appreciates media-approved bitchiness. They are a match made in heaven, and Kathy G. fit into that dynamic perfectly. She never had to worry about whether or not she was fuckable to either of them, and she could be as bitchy as she wanted with them, and not worry about the consequences. Which makes it doubly hard that she is the only one dealing with the consequences.
Great comment , PaganChick! So well stated! BTW, love your name. I have a little aging pagan in me also, so maybe I could be PaganGrandma?!! I only dance naked on the summer solstice, even though I grew up within a few miles of Stonehenge. I restrain myself the rest of the year, but it’s not easy.
Haven’t had a chance to read everything yet but I have an urgent matter/question.
Worked today, work tomorrow so at the nurse’s house, somebody knows how to fix the tv when I don’t…getting side tracked already…
VPR already started…that’s ok, have recording at home but I’ll watch what I can and I know I can catch the Lady Cocette soon too…
Here’s my question (finally?) What is this mmercial for “The Cowboy Way?” How did I not know about this show? I don’t even know if I have the IPC channel at home….Has anyone watched?
I know this might not be a show up everyone’s alley and I might even be breaking rules? But I think I’d watch it and it sounds like there’s already been one season, mmercial for season 2…
Happy New Year!!!
