Come for the tea. Stay for the shade. Not for the easily offended. You're a special snowflake just like everyone else.

I recorded Last Week Tonight and watched it while I was getting ready for work this morning. I was fascinated by how out of it Wendy seems to be. She seems to be having a breakdown.
Wendy has that look in her eyes that says she gave up. On everything. When life was tenuous to begin with, this quarantine eliminates our already shaky emotional defenses. I hope she is using whatever lifelines she still has left.
Agree. I can’t imagine living in a NYC apartment during this lock down. They can’t get outside for walks and have little connection to the outdoors or nature. That would make me crazy.
That being said, John Oliver hit the nail on the head – how could any normal person listen to a beeping smoke alarm for a month? And her poor cats. That high pitched sound has to be making them crazy too.
I kept thinking it was the smoke detector here too! I love Wendy, maybe it’s because she is a bit wackadoodle. She’s always interesting to watch and watching I have been .
Seems like everyone is dealing with this situation in their own way. I can honestly say thank God for all of you, you’re my touchstones!
Back before he became an asshole, I used to listen to Loveline with Dr. Drew and Adam Carolla. They’d get a really serious call… then they’d suddenly get excited and shush the caller. They would hear the beeping in the background and they would start to quiz the person on how long it had been going on, or ask them “DON’T YOU HEAR THAT?” It would inevitably be in their bedroom too! Nuts!
I used to just disconnect the alarms. When I couldn’t afford a battery or, later, when I couldn’t go up the stepstool. It seems like EONS ago, I could barely walk distances I can RUN now. And the ENTIRE TOWN I lived in was hills and stairs. Beautiful, but too hard to walk back then. My dogs are extra happy about that. Longer walks.
I live for walks outside with my dog. I’m glad you’re able to walk better now. Sounds like you went through a rough time.

I highly recommend listening to Fiona Apple’s new album. Somehow she has wrote the soundtrack to my life right now! I have just been listening to the new songs on YouTube. Fetch the Bolt Cutters, and Under the Table are my new theme songs.
Oh shit, I just watched the video clip of Wendy. I like snacks too, but I don’t want a bunch of people watching me eat my weird snacks. And I know when I have to do the Zoom meetings with my son’s teacher, I clear out everything in the background. I want them to see a blank wall behind us. Why does she have all that stuff, isn’t she afraid about knocking that crap over and breaking it? I don’t want anyone judging me about what is in the background of our virtual meeting.
The past two nights I have sat at kitchen table alone and listened to those songs. I have thought, these songs are my life right now. Highly recommend, the best ever, and I don’t like current music. But I am going to listen to her album again. Fetch the bolt cutters, y’all.
Hell on Earth is tolerable as long as Fiona Apple is The Goddess who sings our lives in song and Angelina Jordon is the reincarnation/love child of Billie Holiday and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins who lives to cover in glorious vocals every important song ever written. Music soothes the savage beasts and fans the flames of revolution that leads to renaissance. What a time to be alive as the world changes in ways we never thought possible. Hang in there, kiddos…we can and will learn better ways to deal with this and to help each other because we are trying and looking. <3 Keep your bolt cutters handy.
I do think that WW is cracking. She has been crying on the show and I think she either misses her ex-husband or she is lonely. And it’s okay if she is cracking, I think most of us are in some kind of way. Today’s show she started making devil egg’s at the table.
I never wanted a roommate. I wanted to either be married or living alone. After living alone for decades, I met my roommate, Cindy (aka The Fiancée), when I was disabled with chronic pain. We ended up taking care of each other. I think we are keeping each other from falling apart right now. She’s scared; I’m not — and that scares me.
I think being alone must amplify all of the uncertainty. I wish you had someone close by. Just to check on you — or on each other. What about Lawn Boy? Could he check on you once a day? Just stand outside and wave to each other through the window. Something.
Many of my friends are women my age (late 60s) who live alone. Every one of them was doing OK — until the last couple of days. None of them are online. One fucked up and didn’t get her “Obamaphone” when her “gifted” phone minutes expired. Now, the people giving them out have disappeared. She wrote a letter to us and we wrote one back. The only way to communicate. She wasn’t doing well then. If I drive down 90 minutes to check on her, she might worry we have “coronacooties” and go into major anxiety. She already has MAJOR OCD. Am I even allowed to drive that far? I don’t know what to do. I will sleep (and dream) on it.
You are an awesome person. I so enjoy reading your posts. It’s so reassuring here because you always comment. Hope that makes sense, and I get kinda excited when you comment or reply to me. Thank you and I think you are a really great person.
Thanks for such kind words. Sometimes, I look at ho commented and I see the whole list is me and I get embarrassed for being so verbose. Like maybe I should either shut up or get a life. Or both.
Happy to see Kipper on this string.
WHERE IN THE KINGDOM COME are DalaiMama and English Rose???
The first full week when Wendy was first back on from her home, her smoke detector was beeping non stop. I thought it was mine! I have no idea how she had that beep going non stop, it would of drove me crazy.
I think her Betty Boop, crystal ball, Flavor Flave clock is to make her look eccentric. She wears fluffy, giant shawls to go along with the eccentric. Her eating habits are a bit strange, but to each it’s own.
She cries at the drop of a hat, but quickly comes right back, so it could be an act. She goes from sad to happy much too quick. Maybe this is the ways she acts at home? Hmm. She does seem off, but not as bad as when she was really off back when she had ‘the problem’.
Oh, and she said last week that she had a fight with Nene, b’c Nene wanted her to skype with her for the Atlanta show. Wendy said she is better than a housewife, so she said no, said she gave them a little this season, but no more. I think she hung up on Nene. That was on a Friday and by Monday they still haven’t talked.
None hung up on her & hasn’t called back to apologize or explaim6. I think coming out of the divorce created a whole new Wendy. I feel like she allowed her Ex to have control in business & family situations. I think that’s most indicated by her choice of pets. As soon as it was her choice she picked rescue kittens instead of a big giant King Corso (?) dog which although she lived him, he was clearly in my opinion the Ex’s testosterone making that choice. We are both born in July so she’s “my-sister- in-my-head” & I relate to her display of feelings. I love her to pieces. I too am living the single chic with a cat life & I am quite cool with it. ?????
“I would beg to disagree but to beg does not agree with me”. Sorry, I am up drinking and thinking and listening to music and trying not to think about all the crap I have to actually do tomorrow. I am so channeling this new Fiona music.
Wendy just seems so lonely and sad – wish we gals could all hang out together, like a weeks’ long slumber party and just gossip, watch silly/happy chick flicks, have some yummy snacks, and, of course, there would be cocktails. I had a group of friends before I moved here that we would all go away for a long weekend together and we would each take a turn making from scratch some thing that was like our “prize” meal, the ones our friends always raved about when having a dinner party. We could even play games, like Scrabble (yeah, I’m a geek, I admit it – ha), Cards Against Humanity, and my new favorite, Conspiracy Theory Trivia – yep geek/nerd complete. I love a lot of card and board games. I even love playing Apples to Apples, We need to rent together a nice chateau near or right on a beach and just stay……..heck, I’d want to never leave and spend TT, let’s just all run away and not tell anyone where we’re going — can y’all imagine the stores we could tell (which, of course, will stay at the chateau and ALL take to our death, even if we need to do a blood swear – ha).
I’m working on it now?. Half day today and off tomorrow, need to take advantage of every second!
I am watching Manny Mau on YouTube cut his hair, hilarious, love him! That will be me shortly cuss words and all because I keep my hair super short…oh lord help is all!
Great timing. I need to cut my hair. I will try watching it. (Hard to do YouTube on my overflowing iPad.) We have a handicap shower bench as our bathroom vanity right now. And no bathroom sink. So if I fuck it up, I will blame the landlords! JK, they are my good friends.
I highly recommend heavy balloon by Fiona Apple. “I Spread like strawberries, I climb like beans and peas.” Who else gets that? I love you all and good luck in your tomorrow. I will be absent for a few days. Much love to everyone, I have check out for my own sanity.
I’m an introvert and I’m slowly going mad. I can’t imagine how bad it is for people who need to hug and be around others. Going to Trader Joes a few days ago broke me. Standing in the line to get in with 6 ft markings on the sidewalk wearing my mask and gloves, and then not being able to pay at checkout until groceries were bagged and the cashier backed away, that sent me over the edge.
Virtual hugs to TT and all here, I think we need them.
I feel SO SAD for you. Going to Trader Joe’s is the highlight and thrill of the week. The worst part or me is driving. It’s only a quarter mile. I hate driving.
Scrabble, that’s something we always have to play when two or more family members get together. A get together with TT commenters sounds fun. I’m sure most of us are bawdy and snarky and have tails to tell. I know I certainly do.
People say “We are all in the same boat” but it’s not like that.
We are in the same storm, but not in the same boat. Your ship could be shipwrecked and mine might not be. Or vice versa.
For some, quarantine is optimal. A moment of reflection, of re-connection, easy in flip flops, with a cocktail or coffee. For others, this is a desperate financial & family crisis.
For some that live alone, they’re facing endless loneliness. While for others, it is peace, rest, & time with their mother, father, sons & daughters.
Some families are receiving financial assistance from the Government while other families receive nothing.
Some are concerned that their favourite products are now hard to find while others are concerned if there will be enough bread, milk, and eggs for the weekend.
Some want to go back to work because they don’t qualify for financial assistance and are running out of money. Others want to kill those who break the quarantine.
Some are home spending 2-3 hours/day helping their child with online schooling while others are spending 2-3 hours/day to educate their children on top of a 10-12 hour workday.
Some have experienced the near death of the virus, some have already lost someone from it, and some are not sure if their loved ones are going to make it. Others don’t believe this is a big deal.
Some have faith in God and expect miracles during this 2020. Others say the worst is yet to come.
So, friends, we are not in the same boat. We are going through a time when our perceptions and needs are completely different but what is needed at such a time is empathy and compassion.
Each of us will emerge, in our own way, from this storm. It is very important to see beyond what is seen at first glance. Not just looking; actually seeing.
We are all on different ships during this storm and all experiencing a very different journey.
Really excellent summary of the different ways this virus is affecting everyone differently. It’s important to remember that everyone has a different experience.
Well said ,, thank you for putting into words what I’ve been observing, feeling and thinking these past few weeks. Godspeed to everyone in our unique journey … hugs to all.
This is an excellent summary of the different ways people are living, viewing, adjusting, reacting to this pandemic. I wish we could just give a thumbs up but I agree with the person below who wrote 100%. Me too. Nice job verbalizing this.
I do not use Facebook, I did however send it to my Big Sis who probably posted it on Facebook, I was venting about how my Cockwomblers cannot see past their Fat Cat Dividends so for me I do see what is funny.
I am 2 weeks a head of you guys and China has sold us all PPE equipment which does not work. Spain are taking China to court for over 40 thousand tests that are useless.
We should not be suing them for lying about Covis bit for the useless fecking equipment.
I will start to see groundhog day from the domino effect from other countries dealing with the same probably in regard to PPE.
As I said empathy and compassion there is nothing to laugh about.
My apologies if you were offended. I wasn’t trying to make light of a serious situation, i was just trying to make light of that “post” was being shared by millions on Facebook. I apologize.
Yes she did! Not sure if it’s funny or sad that she’s claiming to be the author of something that’s been shared verbatim thousands of times on social media, but she’s unaware as she’s not on Facebook.
Thank GOD we are not on the same boat. Imagine being on Below Deck Mediterranean with that Russian cook (Mila?) and Crazy Caroline and Hannah faking an anxiety attack and Joao and the Asswipe who almost died. I would lock myself in the captain’s quarters with Capt. Lee and Kate and Josiah and Colin and listen to their stories and drink Champagne.
TT and anyone else feeling alone – I’m sorry. This is such a hard time when we aren’t allowed any human interactions and it’s amplified by certain death if we even think about leaving our homes. I prayed to God for solace and he provided it. I’m no longer afraid to go outside, and don’t wear a mask in the country air while feeding my horse, but I still refuse to go in stores and quarantine my groceries. I miss going to work, but am lucky that my employer is still paying me as if I was at work full time (for now.) I’m quarantined with my Mom who is like diet Ramona and drives me crazy, but I’m lucky to have her. We can’t forget the things and people who matter during this time, even though it’s easy to do. Life will eventually go back to normal and soon this will be period we remember with all of our friends. Sending everyone lots of love ❤️
WW needs to do some self reflection. She has not come to a safe place with her husband leaving her for another woman. WW continues to be mean spirited. Her apt does not look like a home, more cave like dark and dim. Norman’s view has brightness. WW needs our support n prayers.
I don’t watch Wendy Williams, but this YouTube clip had me howling. I sure hope she is playing it up for entertainment. We all could use a good laugh in these times.
No, we are certainly not all in the same boat tuatha12. Thanks for reminding us of that.
I’ve gone through a range of emotions during this time. Some days are better than others.
To me, Wendy has a look of being heavily medicated but forcing herself to be herself – it that makes sense. My son takes medication for mental health issues and I’ve seen that look in his eyes before. It’s not fun. I think his dose was too strong.
If Wendy is cracking, she sure has a good reason. We all do at this point except we don’t have a daily TV show for people to see it.
Since the first “Wendy at home” episode and Dr oz who is right before, I have had no sound on only those two shows. Commercials are fine, before and after shows are fine.
I think it’s been now since April 16th?
I decided to take it as an omen. Lol.
At least you can SEE Dr. Oz. I do not worship at the altar of Oz, and some of his guests are questionable. I HATE when he has product reps on because he presents them ALMOST as if they are objective evaluators of a product. BUT he has been doing a really great job covering many facets of THE CORONA.
But 4 out of 5 days, it is Trump on instead of Oz and the episodes are not On Demand. I wish the daily briefings were just on a (fake) news channel.
Has no one else noted that Wendy seems to be “quarantining” with her DJ? DJ Boof? This is the same guy who, before the Corona limitations, was photographed all over the place, walking, eating, going to the movies, etc etc with Wendy.
Gossip columnists have said they’re “dating”. Wendy has been coy about it, talking about going here and there with Boof, and even showing their dinner dates on her Instagram.
Now that everyone is sheltering in place, who’s the one person that’s obviously all up in Wendy’s apartment? DJ Boof. Whilst Wendy couldn’t even bear to have her Apartment Manager near her (we saw this when he delivered a package to her), DJ Boof is there, just off camera, talking, filming Wendy, and occasionally coughing at her, just to make her laugh.
I haven’t even heard her mention Boof. I was thinking it would have been great if he could have been there because he seems to calm her. If he is there, I am glad.
I recorded Last Week Tonight and watched it while I was getting ready for work this morning. I was fascinated by how out of it Wendy seems to be. She seems to be having a breakdown.
I definitely agree but I’m also unsure that she’s clean right now. She will lose her show putting this on the air. She needs help desperately! Now !!!
I couldn’t tell if she was medicated or drunk, but I hope someone gets her the help she needs.
Wendy has that look in her eyes that says she gave up. On everything. When life was tenuous to begin with, this quarantine eliminates our already shaky emotional defenses. I hope she is using whatever lifelines she still has left.
Agree. I can’t imagine living in a NYC apartment during this lock down. They can’t get outside for walks and have little connection to the outdoors or nature. That would make me crazy.
That being said, John Oliver hit the nail on the head – how could any normal person listen to a beeping smoke alarm for a month? And her poor cats. That high pitched sound has to be making them crazy too.
I kept thinking it was the smoke detector here too! I love Wendy, maybe it’s because she is a bit wackadoodle. She’s always interesting to watch and watching I have been .
Seems like everyone is dealing with this situation in their own way. I can honestly say thank God for all of you, you’re my touchstones!
It’s so nice everyone is supporting one another.
Back before he became an asshole, I used to listen to Loveline with Dr. Drew and Adam Carolla. They’d get a really serious call… then they’d suddenly get excited and shush the caller. They would hear the beeping in the background and they would start to quiz the person on how long it had been going on, or ask them “DON’T YOU HEAR THAT?” It would inevitably be in their bedroom too! Nuts!
That’s so funny – it’s amazing what people can become tone deaf to. That’s one sound I couldn’t sleep through if it was in my bedroom.
I used to just disconnect the alarms. When I couldn’t afford a battery or, later, when I couldn’t go up the stepstool. It seems like EONS ago, I could barely walk distances I can RUN now. And the ENTIRE TOWN I lived in was hills and stairs. Beautiful, but too hard to walk back then. My dogs are extra happy about that. Longer walks.
I live for walks outside with my dog. I’m glad you’re able to walk better now. Sounds like you went through a rough time.

@ LA, I love Fiona Apple, Tidal and When The Pawn… are two of my favorite albums. Thanks for the info I will check it on YouTube.
The past two nights I have sat at kitchen table alone and listened to those songs. I have thought, these songs are my life right now. Highly recommend, the best ever, and I don’t like current music. But I am going to listen to her album again. Fetch the bolt cutters, y’all.
Excited about this news. I loved Fiona Apple and wondered where she went.
Hell on Earth is tolerable as long as Fiona Apple is The Goddess who sings our lives in song and Angelina Jordon is the reincarnation/love child of Billie Holiday and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins who lives to cover in glorious vocals every important song ever written. Music soothes the savage beasts and fans the flames of revolution that leads to renaissance. What a time to be alive as the world changes in ways we never thought possible.

Many of my friends are women my age (late 60s) who live alone. Every one of them was doing OK — until the last couple of days. None of them are online.

WHERE IN THE KINGDOM COME are DalaiMama and English Rose???
The first full week when Wendy was first back on from her home, her smoke detector was beeping non stop. I thought it was mine! I have no idea how she had that beep going non stop, it would of drove me crazy.
I think her Betty Boop, crystal ball, Flavor Flave clock is to make her look eccentric. She wears fluffy, giant shawls to go along with the eccentric. Her eating habits are a bit strange, but to each it’s own.
She cries at the drop of a hat, but quickly comes right back, so it could be an act. She goes from sad to happy much too quick. Maybe this is the ways she acts at home? Hmm. She does seem off, but not as bad as when she was really off back when she had ‘the problem’.
Oh, and she said last week that she had a fight with Nene, b’c Nene wanted her to skype with her for the Atlanta show. Wendy said she is better than a housewife, so she said no, said she gave them a little this season, but no more. I think she hung up on Nene. That was on a Friday and by Monday they still haven’t talked.
None hung up on her & hasn’t called back to apologize or explaim6. I think coming out of the divorce created a whole new Wendy. I feel like she allowed her Ex to have control in business & family situations. I think that’s most indicated by her choice of pets. As soon as it was her choice she picked rescue kittens instead of a big giant King Corso (?) dog which although she lived him, he was clearly in my opinion the Ex’s testosterone making that choice. We are both born in July so she’s “my-sister- in-my-head” & I relate to her display of feelings. I love her to pieces. I too am living the single chic with a cat life & I am quite cool with it. ?????
Don’t forget that Wendy had to downsize from from family home to a smaller place. It’s hard to let go of those unique, one of a kind art pieces.
I am so glad Wendy came back and is willing to entertain us.
“I would beg to disagree but to beg does not agree with me”. Sorry, I am up drinking and thinking and listening to music and trying not to think about all the crap I have to actually do tomorrow. I am so channeling this new Fiona music.

You are one wise woman. Great commentary!
Thank GOD we are not on the same boat. Imagine being on Below Deck Mediterranean with that Russian cook (Mila?) and Crazy Caroline and Hannah faking an anxiety attack and Joao and the Asswipe who almost died. I would lock myself in the captain’s quarters with Capt. Lee and Kate and Josiah and Colin and listen to their stories and drink Champagne.
The asswipe who almost died. Laughing. Ashton, the douche bro.

I miss going to work, but am lucky that my employer is still paying me as if I was at work full time (for now.) I’m quarantined with my Mom who is like diet Ramona and drives me crazy, but I’m lucky to have her. We can’t forget the things and people who matter during this time, even though it’s easy to do. Life will eventually go back to normal and soon this will be period we remember with all of our friends. Sending everyone lots of love ❤️

It’s disturbing to watch her. I don’t watch much anymore.
As a person who has always spent a ton of time alone, I guess I’m used to this.
tuatha, thank you for your posts. We are definitely not all in the same boat and you said it so well.
WW needs to do some self reflection. She has not come to a safe place with her husband leaving her for another woman. WW continues to be mean spirited. Her apt does not look like a home, more cave like dark and dim. Norman’s view has brightness. WW needs our support n prayers.
I don’t watch Wendy Williams, but this YouTube clip had me howling. I sure hope she is playing it up for entertainment. We all could use a good laugh in these times.
No, we are certainly not all in the same boat tuatha12. Thanks for reminding us of that.
I’ve gone through a range of emotions during this time. Some days are better than others.
To me, Wendy has a look of being heavily medicated but forcing herself to be herself – it that makes sense. My son takes medication for mental health issues and I’ve seen that look in his eyes before. It’s not fun. I think his dose was too strong.
If Wendy is cracking, she sure has a good reason. We all do at this point except we don’t have a daily TV show for people to see it.
Since the first “Wendy at home” episode and Dr oz who is right before, I have had no sound on only those two shows. Commercials are fine, before and after shows are fine.
I think it’s been now since April 16th?
I decided to take it as an omen. Lol.
At least you can SEE Dr. Oz. I do not worship at the altar of Oz, and some of his guests are questionable. I HATE when he has product reps on because he presents them ALMOST as if they are objective evaluators of a product. BUT he has been doing a really great job covering many facets of THE CORONA.
But 4 out of 5 days, it is Trump on instead of Oz and the episodes are not On Demand. I wish the daily briefings were just on a (fake) news channel.
Ok. I know this post is about Wendy. But can I just tell you guys that I love you John Oliver? He completes me.
I loved him since the Colbert Report. The Daily Show did launch many careers. Noah too.
Has no one else noted that Wendy seems to be “quarantining” with her DJ? DJ Boof? This is the same guy who, before the Corona limitations, was photographed all over the place, walking, eating, going to the movies, etc etc with Wendy.
Gossip columnists have said they’re “dating”. Wendy has been coy about it, talking about going here and there with Boof, and even showing their dinner dates on her Instagram.
Now that everyone is sheltering in place, who’s the one person that’s obviously all up in Wendy’s apartment? DJ Boof. Whilst Wendy couldn’t even bear to have her Apartment Manager near her (we saw this when he delivered a package to her), DJ Boof is there, just off camera, talking, filming Wendy, and occasionally coughing at her, just to make her laugh.
I’m just saying…
I haven’t even heard her mention Boof. I was thinking it would have been great if he could have been there because he seems to calm her. If he is there, I am glad.
