First of all my computer keeps dying and restarting and telling me that Windows has crashed. I’ve never had this happen before. This is a problem I do not need right now. I hope I can get through this post without the computer dying. I will not be able to survive isolation without you guys. You are my lifeline to the world. I almost bought a new laptop right before this happened. I wanted the newest, fastest ASUS but when I went to look at it, the moved the mousepad to a stupid place and I hated it already. At a cost of $2,500 I don’t want to be pissed at my purchase and wish it was different.
Anyway, yesterday or the day before or today or last week or some damn time, who really knows Page Six ran a story that basically said production is furious with Bethenny for making some comment about the show. Also, on another day I read that (FUCK CRASHED AGAIN, tried something else) Bethenny was pissed about the premiere episode where apparently someone said something snarky about her. Probably Lu. I didn’t even notice. So whatever. I think it is all about trying to get attention to RHONY. Because, let’s face it. Leah with her potty mouth and cheap tattoos is not a replacement for Bethenny.
So I was chatting with my source who like everyone else in the business is currently unable to work, and Source said that Bethenny could care less about any of the nonsense with housewives. HBOmax (or whatever it is she is working with is paying her $180K an episode! So she is far above the drama.
Sorry this post was shortened BECAUSE I LOST ACCESS TO ALL MY ACCOUNTS OTHER THAN THE WEBSITE. I NEED NANETTE TO PLEASE CALL ME ASAP!
Oh TT, so sorry you’re having computer problems. That really sucks. Wishing you speedy reconnection!
I am freaking the fuck out. I do not know my Gmail password anymore and ALL OF MY PASSWORDS FOR EVERYTHING are on there. Banks, websites, Everything. I had to totally wipe out my this PC to get it to work and I didn’t realize I was losing all of my saved passwords. So now I can’t even share on FB and Twitter because I can’t get to my PW list. I’m such and idiot and so screwed.
I sent a message to Nanette for you re- your computer crashing. Retweeted the Bethenny post.
So sorry THIS happened- the Last thing you need now…Is there anything else I can do?
Please take a deep cleansing breathe I’m panicking for lord let us pray🙌🏿❤️
add last pass extension to remember your PWs whenever you sign in to Chrome just need one pw to remember to get into your vault, then every other one is saved in your vault. you must have had a backup email address for when you forget your pw
My friend across the street is having troubles with her computer and asked recommendations for a repair place. I asked my son who lives with me- he said, oh, tell her to just drop it off, I’ll fix it for her! With excitement in his voice. I’d forgotten my son who games like crazy was brilliant at computers! He is furloughed right now from his day job, but is super happy to help out a friend! Makes my heart burst and by tomorrow her computer will be fixed and her daughter will be able to do all her studies and other things online again with no problem!
Please don’t say things like your passwords (especially bank passwords) are in your gmail – that shit is not that hard to hack into.
the full passwords are not in there. Just things that clue me in to what passwords I use where.
Also tons of sites I had stored my password there. FOR YEARS. No fucking clue what my Twitter password or facebook password is. Those might not even come back when my email does. If it ever does.
You should use lasspass in the future. Saving your passwords in your email is by no means a safe option. Not being an a*hole in anyway, but your email is not as secure as you might think. Especially because it’s basically your identity for everything you use. And p.s. thanks for your commitment you that post after all the bs. Lol
Well, my husband’s boss recently told him that our children cannot be in the background of any phone call.
What in the totall hell am I’m living in? I can’t keep these boys quiet, nor would I ever try to silence my kids.
Your husband’s boss is acting like your husband is working from home, rather than that he’s forced to stay home and try to work.
Excellent point!
So true. Not everyone has a separate office. EVERYONE is working so hard to get through this shit together. And some people are just shit. No together.
I’m working from home and have Chihuahuas. Barking is guaranteed to happen. I always apologize to anyone I’m on the phone with and it’s become a bonding thing most people are happy to hear the dogs and glad to know that I am working at home his boss needs to remember the times we are living in and the fact that his employee is home safe and working
My chihuahua gets so upset when I am on the phone and barks and growls at me. I have to put her in the room when I’m expecting to be on the phone for a while. Tomorrow I have my first psychologist appt. on zoom. I have high anxiety and can barely even talk to my mom on the phone. I want to just wait till this is over to have a psych appt but my dr. Is making me. I’m very stressed about it.
What service is he using? Does he mean noise wise? Is your husband always on the phone for work?
It might be worth an upgrade on the conference service if it offers a background (bonus, the house could be a pit and no one would know.) I’ve had ONE board meeting online, and I swear to God figuring out what the best angle was and what my bedroom looked like was exhausting. If I could have faked a background, I would have.
Also, I’ve read about a couple of parents that have had to do conference calls from the car just because lots of people in the house and it is really quiet in the garage and car. I know my cousin’s kids are ALL OVER their Dad because they just aren’t used to him being home all the time and they are also nuts because they live in a 2nd story condo in San Francisco, and they were ones to go to parks, etc. every day to make up for not having a yard. Saw them on a conference call on Easter… the kids look and sound GREAT. Mom and Dad looked exhausted and like they’d lost weight.
Yes I have a son working from home. He told me tonight he needs a new background for his meetings. WTH?!
I’m told in advance when there is a conference call meeting etc so I know not make noise or come into the background. I get it that me talking or noise would be distracting to the group but I’m an adult.
He feels lucky the company has kept everyone on full time until this week and all were cut 2 days. He is employed and his benefits are still good. He was concerned about health insurance especially now.
Your a stronger woman-mother than I was, if I could not maintain silence part of the day I would had really lost it. Nap time was not enough.
I’ve forgotten what it’s like to have small children in the house so I can’t even imagine how difficult it is under these circumstances. Everyone is doing the best they can. Hopefully you guys can find some sort of compromise.
I was on a Zoom meeting the other day. The person has small children who kept coming into the room and he’d shoo them off, lol.
That really stinks! I’m sorry. More stress. I don’t understand people. I’ve had picky bosses but this is ridiculous.
When I watched the latest ep of RHONY I thought Leah was missing something. What she’s missing is Bethenny! That could have been a great pairing. I love Dorinda but even she’s boring so far. The rest are just Past their expiration. Might be time to end this show too.
So sorry about your computer problems TT. I’m all Mac so I don’t have these issues but could a Geek Squad person retrieve your data? Passwords are a pain in the ass in so many ways.
I do agree on Leah and Bethenny! I think they would have made great friends. Bethenny likes unpretentious, snarky people and Leah is kind of that. I would have loved to see them interact.
I think Bethenny would have been threatened by Leah and would have really gone after her. Leah is refreshing!
I’m on a Mac too, and Tamara is on a PC, but the steps to retrieve a password are the same. (Thank God for that.) I’ve been reading online trying to figure out a way to expedite the process. There aren’t any, BUT PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED that a person from Google DID SOLVE their problem. About 2-3 days. Long-ass Days. The old hurry up and wait. If it weren’t for the coronavirus shut-down, I could DRIVE down to the offices in Mt. View. But nooooooo…
T, dammit… hope you figure out the computer. I can’t imagine surviving this without you either!
I think this all started because I think I saw a tweet from B that said that the first episode didn’t really excite her. Well, same girl, same. The producers, if they actually did badmouth her, are IDIOTS. She’s right.
They need to take a page from Andy. I can’t remember if it was on Jeff’s show or if Jeff called in to Andy’s radio show. Jeff Lewis was really sad to hear that Bethenny wouldn’t be on. (fuck, I think it was Jeff. I broke into my 2nd bottle of Tequila tonight). What I DO remember was Andy saying that he looked at it this way – Bethenny already left once and was fine without them. The fact that he and others convinced her to come back and she stayed for 3 years was a GIFT. A BONUS. So Andy was just looking at it from that angle and was nothing but appreciative for giving them the extra three amazing seasons she did.
The fact that the first episode was boring as fuck out of the box is on the remaining housewives, not Bethenny. I think one of the biggest issues is that Ramona and Luann have NO PERSONAL GROWTH and are playing to the cameras (omg, Ramona’s crying. It was so fake awful). The second episode was better, but this Bethenny blaming hit the fan before that aired.
If they ARE blaming Bethenny, that’s admitting that the show is boring without her. And lots of us agree. Anyone who expects Leah to carry the load is expecting too much from any one person. It IS AN ENSEMBLE cast. The onus is on EVERYONE on the show. We Americans love a Cinderella story or a Take of Redemption. As you call out — NO PERSONAL growth. Vicki G. blew a perfect opportunity — be nice to the new girls. Treat them as you would a new client walking into Coto Insurance. But no … same old shit that got her demoted. LuAnn WAS poised to have the same opportunity — pretend you were only a bitch with a superiority complex because you were drinking. Oh, wait, still a bitch. Can’t even ACT nice. And Ramona is hopeless. Dorinda MAKE IT NICE and you can be the comeback kid.
everything you said Nanette!
This, Nanette!!
I’m starting to think that Lu was NICER when she was drinking.
I totally agree about Ramona and Luann. No personal growth whatsoever.
I liked Bethanny on the show even though she’d stress me out sometimes. I really love that she doesn’t NEED the Real Housewives and doesn’t seem have a complex about its potential for success without her. I’d argue that most of these housewives need this show like they need air to breathe.
I’m not feeling this season so far.
Sirius XM is free until May 5th if any of you are interested.
To all who appreciate TT: Tamara is having trouble with her email accounts. She needs two things: our prayers or good juju, whatever. And to limit any emails to the essentials. She can post to Tamara Tattles so she will be checking in.
The servers are down in Atlanta which may be why you are having an issue TT.
My friend uses Kodi via the Atlanta server in Spain and has been advised they are working on it.
Take care and lots of love to you and Banjo
Resetting/retrieving the GMail account is the main issue NOW. If ANYONE has any juice with someone at Google to expedite the process — the usual didn’t work — it would be helpful.
If you forgot your email address and haven’t set up any recovery information such as a phone number or security questions, you may still be able to find your username in case you have recently used your email account in your web browser. Search your web browser history for Inbox or Gmail® to see if it reveals your address. Technically, your full email address or the first part of it before the @ character is your username.
In case you don’t have access to your recovery email, phone, or other option you may still be able to recover Gmail® password by manually verifying your identity. First thing you need to do is visit the Google Account Recovery page. When there, enter your email address and click “Continue”. Click “I don’t know” option for the password and choose the “Verify your identity” option, which is a really small link under all other available options. Answer all the questions to the best of your knowledge and if you are able to provide the information that is accurate enough you’ll get a successful Google account recovery.
Tried. No success. Now in the WLS of Google. Waiting for Lily to investigate.
EVERYTHING had to be a clean install. No browser history, etc.
Oh no! What a hero you are Nanette to help TT with this!
I hate to ask this but did TT open gmail on anything else?
Not for a long time. So those passwords are defunct.
OMG!!! I hope Lily can help.
It is difficult to advise when you do not have the laptop in front of you.
I was betwixt and between with suggestions but if it has to be a clean install etc.
What a nightmare for TT.
Sorry, I do not have any further advice without knowing the background.
We had computer and Apple TV issues last night in NJ also.
I like Bethenny, but think the dynamic amongst the ladies is better without her. Yes, she had great one liners, but was often so mean spirited and above it all. I have no interest in watching her shark tank rip off show- especially if it costs more than the HBO service I have now.
So weird – I woke up thinking about Bethenny because I was clenching my teeth and I wondered for the millionth time if it’s true that her jaw slimmed down that much from botox for TMJ as she says. That got me wondering if she is in Boston and if she is allowed to bring Brynn with her. I miss her on the show because she is my all time favorite of any cast, but I’m not ready for NY to end. The producers spend too much time putting people together into.large parties. I’d much rather have insight to their personal regular lives. The only one who can come close to replacing Bethenny is Heather. She didn’t work being on with Bethenny because too many strong personalities. But maybe separately it would work.
Good luck with your computer, TT!!
Bethenny bought a house in Boston.
I had my jaw botoxed for TMJ. Yes it changed my jawline – it thins your face. They Botox all along your jawline & it’s expensive as hell. But, it’s less expensive and easier than crowns for cracked teeth.
Interesting. Thank you for answering my question, Janfan!
Janfan, Did it stop your grinding?
Do they have anything for the opposite defect? If Jay Leon and I averaged out chin/jawlines, we would both have the perfect jaw. O, same with Maria Shriver and I.
I think you’re right that Bethenny is putting Housewives behind her. She’s moved on to other things. Good for her! Apparently she just raised $15 million dollars to buy PPE for nurses and doctors and has a team of people who actually go onsite to make the purchases so she can ensure what she’s buying isn’t expired, damaged, or stored incorrectly. I’m so amazed how quickly she can pull projects together to help people in need – she even helped with Hurricane Dorian.
Just wondering if “reset to an earlier date” would work to grab the passwords?
Nope. Everything had to be wiped clean and reinstalled. “They” always tell us to back up and use a keychain or write the passwords down. But it’s one of those things we THINK we have covered. And then … like my friends in Paradise, you lose it in a fire. I guess we need multiple versions of backup.
Can we start our own “New Brew Fund” to get TT a new Laptop. If we can have a designated place to send funds
I would like to contribute $100 to it. It’s totally selfish on my part because without TT’s amazing recaps, her followers comments and a place for me to express myself, I would be bored out of my mind.
It’s not about the money, it’s about email recovery. In Google’s WLS. For now. Not forever. It just IS THAT WAY because it’s important. Everything is connected to that email account.
Nanette- thanks for the info. When it comes to computers , technology etc I am clueless. It must run in the family . My 76 year old dad still doesn’t understand the difference between emails and texts. He just has no desire for it. He would rather spend all day doing physical work than sitting at a desk on the computer. However we can’t can’t keep my mom off of her phone and social media. In March I got my first IPad, first piece of technology, besides my phone and I just figured out it has a camera. I’m tying to learn but I’m so old school. I still prefer to talk on the phone and write letters.
There are many good things about phone calls — tone, etc. — and letters. But, now, with coronavirus, I hesitate to send birthday cards.
You can export passwords from Chrome is they are saved to a Google account. Save them to an external drive and import. Good luck!
Good Luck Tamara! Sounds complicated to retrieve the passwords. Not just a ‘I forgot my password sort of thing.’ Thank you Nanette for helping her! Tamara, don’t panic, I know it’s overwhelming, but we’re all here and we got you.
Thank you. It’s difficult not to panic when YOUR WHOLE LIFE is wrapped up in one magnificent clusterfuck. Waiting is the hardest part. Yeah.
Tamara wants to thank everyone for their support and patience. Hopefully, she is resting peacefully after two nights of hell — the tornados and the laptop meltdown. On top of the coronavirus crap. Hopefully, Google will respond soon.
If it weren’t for the coronavirus lockdown, I could DRIVE down to the Google offices in Mt. View. But noooooooo… it had to happen now when the offices are closed.
Thank you for the update. I hope it works out soon, such a pain and upsetting!
Thank you Nanette for helping Tamara. I don’t comment a lot, but enjoy everyone’s comments.
Yes, some good sleep hopefully!
Nanette, thank-you for the update and for helping TT! <3
Nanette, seriously, you are a ROCK STAR!
You are so amazing to help TT.
This will come back to you in spades.
Some things in life are worth waiting for TT, this is just a minor hiccup, catch up on your sleep.
@ Nanette “The best kind of people are the ones that come into your life and make you see the sun where you once saw clouds…. that is you Nanette
Tuatha12- what you said about Nanette is PERFECT,
