Just a reminder, to email me currently you have to use [email protected] So, someone just knocked on my door and delivered groceries. I did not order any groceries. The guy took off pretty quick and I felt bad that someone who ordered groceries was not going to get them. Then I looked at the groceries. THEY ARE ALL MY FAVORITE THINGS including the peanuts I recently discovered! I got bread and BACON!!! and all of my favorite lunch meats and DUKE’S MAYO. And a PIZZA and organic tomatoes and the stuff to make a BLT! Whoever sent me this stuff knows me VERY WELL. I could not have picked better items myself! Thank you so much. I got sweet tea! I have the stuff to make tea but I’ve just been too lazy to do it. This is perfect. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I’m going to have to go buy a new laptop. But I can’t do it today. I just don’t have it in me. So if I go radio silent, that is why.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE FANTASTIC GROCERIES. I’m not crying, you’re crying! I love you guys!
Awh this is brilliant I’m so happy for you! Stay safe xxx
Okay so fine. I AM CRYING. It’s not just about the groceries, it is because someone out there knew exactly the things I like. Clearly I overshare. I mean it’s literally all my favorite things.
That’s the best part that someone did that for you and knows exactly what you like, I would be crying too I hope you know now how much people love you x
I am not really that great with people liking me. It’s much easier to be hated. That I am used to and can deal with. Sometimes y’all can be a bit much. But in a good way. xo ~tt
Someone who knows where you live MUST, by definition, know you pretty well, yes? Such a kind and sweet gesture! Obviously the ATL rocks! Enjoy it all, as well as the love! ❤
MY COMPUTER IS WORKING FOR A HOT SECOND! I think the reason this person had my address is because against my “better judgement”I let her send me a Christmas card back when there was still a Christmas. It was actually lovely way back when…. Because I don’t get Christmas cards from actual people very much. I can’t beleive my laptop is giving me a few more minutes of life. I LOVE YOU ALL! I feel like I am dying instead of my laptop. I’ll figure this all out tomorrow.
So nice to hear a simple happy story. Pay it forward.
What a wonderful surprise!!
What an AWESOME surprise/gesture!!
I have BREAD! I never have bread. It seems ridiculous to buy a loaf of bread for just one person. And it is GOOD BREAD. Sorry to keep gushing I just needed something good to happen.
This is so awesome!
I love it when good things happen to good people!
This is awesome uplifting news Tamara! See, we do listen to you! Enjoy those BLTs! Love you!
I have Dove bars! It’s like when Santa comes and just knows all of your favorite things. Who knows me this well and knows where I live? Marietta Mommy maybe?
It wasn’t me, but that was what my email was about yesterday. Hubby & I will do all the grocery, liquor & dog food shopping for you until this is over. You know I love you.
And clearly other people do too❤️
my current functioning email is tamaratattles2 on gmail. I do not have anyone’s email….sigh.
I LOVE Dove Bars. Now I’ll think about Dove bars all day.
I know who sent it now! I would tell you but here is the thing. Sometimes you guys email me and it is hard to for my alcohol soaked brain to know whose email matches up to what user name. Like, I know your real name, your email, and your user name but I don’t always know how those three things go together. Anyway, it’s nice to be crying happy tears for a change. You guys rock.
What a great thing to happen just when you needed it, how loved are you?! 🥰
Apparently, I am not just loved, I am loved my someone who know all about me! It’s kind of the most loved I’ve ever felt.
I needed happy today. Thank you for sharing. And I am glad you are loved.
Kind of wish I knew where you lived so I could have done that, oh well. Be well. Sending loves to you TT.
This makes me happy for BOTH of you; for you to have those simple things which feel like luxuries when you just don’t have the strength to get them for yourself, and for the person who did this because it’s so wonderful to know that there are such thoughtful and sensitive people out there.
How lovely! Kindness is contagious.
I’m glad you have wine and yummy snacks!
It’s totally an embarrassment of riches. I feel kind of guilty for having so much now. One person from here went grocery shopping for me previously. I can’t stop crying about how nice you guys are being to me. I am taking today to just focus on that, and not worry about all the multitudes of problems I am having with no access to my gmail account which is where all my everything is.
Snacks and alcohol are all I have to look forward to.
Amen, sistah
Thanks! It is hard as hell to homeschool the oldest while the youngest is screaming and crying. Snacks and wine are my motivation.
My favorite homeschooling meme so far has been “Homeschooling not going well today. Two students suspended for fighting, teacher on probation for drinking on the job.” How old is the oldest? Because if it is grade school… depending on your school… you get to create the timeline. If there are days it just isn’t going, have all three of you take a break. Go feel the sunshine on your faces. Make toasted cheese sandwiches and watch the Brady Bunch if you think the kids would be down with that. Go outside and howl at 8 PM.
I’m happy you’re happy! Yay your favorite things. I’m single and freeze bread I want to save, I haven’t had a Dove Bar in years. Enjoy!
This is AWESOME!!! Well done, Good Samaritan!!
That’s wonderful Tamara….keep your chin up.
Thanks, Sharon.
Blessings on the beautiful person who did such a wonderful deed. <3
Hang in there, TT. Lotta love out here for you, sweetie.
Thanks. I am just trying to take a day off from freaking the fuck out. This helped a lot.
Aw that is the sweetest thing I have heard all day.
So happy for you! I didn’t know you had a new email. I will forward the Survivor recap. <3 What's the story there?
People are good. I cried also because I was starting to forget. Xoxoxo my friend. Gotta wipe my happy tears.
You guys are good. This is why I am such a cunt to the assholes. 🙂 We have a good group here.
That is so sweet. you deserve a pick-me-up!!!
Whoever sent those deserves a tiara. Or a trophy. Or anything but Dorit’s hideous double-visor CHA NEL straw hat.
A bedazzled mask!
What a beautiful gesture!
Kind of restored my faith in humans!
You deserve it TT!💕
I love this! Enjoy your goodies! Happy to hear nice stories like this. Whoever you are that did this wonderful gesture, thank you!
Posting this message in another place so more people may see it.
The Buffalo Bill’s defunct. And so is Tamara’s laptop. She is giving it some space to rest and then will try it again to see if it will start — but not expecting it to.
She is going to take the rest of the evening off. She will try to enjoy ALL OF THE things FAVORITE THINGS that a TT angel surprised her with. So don’t worry about her — she is on the phone with her fiancée as I type this.
Cho, check your twitch email address. I sent you a message the other day. I don’t THINK there is anything in there that you don’t know by now, but just in case … I meant to send one to Kelly too. But then the laptop started working again, but now RIP.
BTW: The temporary email account is working, but Tamara has no way to log in.
Nannette please ask her to call me when she is finished with her call. It’s about her laptop.
Thanks sweetheart! 😘
Don’t you have my phone#?
YES!!!! But I tried you earlier & I couldn’t reach you, then I saw Nannette’s post. Next step was a smoke signal 😉
This is the best thing I’ve seen all day!
Made my day too. All the days are blending together-so crazy. It’s funny when you hear the amazing joy that special grocery items can bring to someone. True kindness and true joy. Beautiful💟Please stay safe everyone-you are all special. Good luck with all the computer details TT-I’m not tech savvy and would be crushed if this happened to me. Saying prayers for you🙏
So happy to read this and now all I can think about are BLTs. I think I will dream about them. Almost as good as a croque mousieur.
God, you people really do know me. xo ~tt
And love you very much. Never forget that.
Love this! Love you!!!
So happy for you TT. I have finally decided to stop watching Housewives Show. Didn’t watch New York or Bev Hills. I have been loyally checking in with you at least 2 times a day over 6 yrs.
I love Killing Eve and so glad you recapped. I watch Blacklist and How to get away with murder- my hubby of 26 + yrs said I would never not watch the new hw shows.. He watched 5 mins of BH and changed it to deadliest catch.
Thanks for getting me to see the light. You are an inspiration to me. And have I a hilarious story to share about volunteering my services to bringing seniors food and medicine soon. Its my 49th bday today. THIS site has kept me sane in more ways than one.!!!
You are loved and ESSENTIAL…..
Also fyi…. I have been to the wls…!
And pretty much deserved it… lol.
It might just be the pandemic. One would think I would be reading like crazy, even just to get a break from my parents. I have book club books that I could be reading (we pick a couple of months ahead). The first NYC bored me. I admit, I dropped Atlanta b/c I didn’t realize it was a new season (that may have been a happy reason – I had ceramics class on Sunday. Oh, how I miss pottery). But I’ve literally been rereading the same 4 paranormal romance novels b/c I just want to live in their town. I feel like even my go-to reread comfort books, the Harry Potter series, would be too much.
I need to find a meditative craft – maybe order a knitting kit even though I would have to rebuy knitting needles I have at home somewhere (I don’t keep shit together).
I love this for you!!!!
We got this people. We have TV, we have this site, we have each other… during WWII people went through worse. So slap on some of your favorite lotion (anyone else’s hands so dry they hurt?) and be gentle with yourself.
Tamara, You lifted us all up and made us smile for you. We all have been needing something uplifting and you brought it. It’s wonderful that you have such devoted friends and many more in here who are wanting to help you. Just remember that and keep the faith. Everything will be resolved soon.
I’m going to share something awesome someone did for me. I work from home on a laptop. 2 weeks ago my laptop grabbed my travel coffee mug, opened it and took a big drink! Yep dead laptop…I panicked. I found 1 online and I reached out to the person. Met up with them to buy an older laptop just to get me through till my tax rebate comes in and what did this guy do? He wouldn’t take my money!! He said he was just paying it forward! There are some kind people out there
Tamara, I am tearing up reading this.
And I do not cry!
It’s really tough being alone in this time of cholera.
I have read your site for years and have had blisters on my thumb hitting refresh!
I have been buying my 2 aleeotted bottles of Whole Foods electrolyte water upon your recommendation for myself, my parents and my cat Fred.
I share some of your struggles and wish you the best.
Your followers are amazing.
More Life! 😉

Love this post!
HI! I’m so happy you received such a nice surprise. It really feels good to be thought of and cared for, huh?
