It seems it is time once again to remind you all of the commenting rules. PLEASE GO READ THEM HERE. Due a suspected BOT ATTACK where there was a huge influx of new commenters wanting to violate these rules and say vile things about the RHOBH I closed the post to comments. If you want to leave the site, you are welcome to do so. I don’t even need to know about it. Just go. No one is holding you hostage here and I can block you if it makes it easier for both us to help you avoid a website that you no longer care to visit.
But freaking our because you can not longer comment on a post that was filled with vitriolic comments is not acceptable. I will close comments when I no longer want to read comments. It’s a very rare instance. And to compare that to a sexual predator and well perhaps another one is disgusting.
JustJenn:
Unfortunately your rants about Tarek Isaak Mentouri and Thomas Ravenel seem less genuine to me now. You think it’s perfectly okay for Brandi to sexually harass Denise Richards because Lisa Rinna and Kyle are friendly with you. You turned off the commenting on RHOBH, even though a lot of your long time posters were “Team Denise.” And you lied and slandered Denise in your comment section “Denise is slandering them all over social media.” Because she liked someone’s else’s tweet and Lisa Rinna threw a fit and called Bravo to make her remove her like. I kind of got your hard on for LVP, but your rage against Denise Richards for “lying” about her own sex life and silencing anyone who sticks up for her crosses a line for me and I’ll no longer be patronizing your website because of it. Peace to you.
I wasn’t aware that I was raging against Denise. I just stopped believing that she was the sweet kind person I watched on her previous TV show. I also allowed no matter how much I disliked it, some awful post from awful people attacking the people I love on RHOBH which does in fact include Kyle an Rinna. Guess what? I get to have opinions too! I allowed tons of nasty things about both of them that violate MY COMMENTING RULES. What I don’t allow now is Just Jenn.
I’m barely hanging on to a rope with no knot in it. I don’t need to deal with shit on my own website. IF ANY OF YOU DON’T LIKE IT HERE, fuck off to somewhere else. Or make your own site. But this one is mine. And right now it is a pain in the ass with people in Spain and the UK trying to attack it. There is a lot more to this job than getting to hang out with you guys.
Oh and HEY OPEN FORUM? How you doing? lol xo ~tt
You totally did the right thing in shutting it down! Your site, your rules!
All is good here in rainy Florida! Rain here everyday, all day! More than I remember in a long time. Crazy amount of mushrooms because of it growing throughout the yard. Has anyone ever gotten stinkhorn mushrooms? They are crazy looking! Starts off looking very phallic then turns into a large red webbing shape.
This year we finally got 5 dragon fruit for the first time that were awesome. I thought it was night blooming cereus at first until the fruit formed.
I’ve had those mushrooms in my yard before!! Thought my flowerbed had a hard on!!!! And I didn’t bother to google cuz I could only imagine the image results I would have received! LMAO
Dragon fruits are related to Night Blooming Cereus. I got one from a neighbor’s (on our honor) fruit and plant stand for $5 and it’s doubled in size in 2 months! A lot of people think all of those plants are ugly — until the flowers come. I think they are beautiful even without blooms or fruit.
Shay, first time I had a stinkhorn pop up in my yard was right after I got divorced. I took it as a sign from Mother Nature!
Nanette, I like them too. It’s looks like a cactus growing up our cabbage palms. And the dragon fruit is delicious, slice in half and eat with a spoon!
I am dying from your comment. Spilled my coffee all over a sweater I just washed. LMAO!!!! Gotta love Mother Nature.
My first reaction was to cover with leaves so my friends and family wouldn’t see it when walking up to my front door! But than I decided, what the heck, let it grow!
I’ve neither seen nor heard of these mushrooms before. So I googled. Wow! Weird looking. Giant too, Part of the Latin name IS phallus! Maybe we need one called Phallus Phypers after Denise’s hubby’s…
I was hoping they were edible. If so, they would have been perfect served with that dinner on a Below Deck with the penis cake. Ot to that vegan guy Kiko had to put up with.
Seems they ARE EDIBLE, but none too tasty.
Lol!
Now google malachite stalactite! Another naturally occurring phallic shape! (I know this because we have rocks and crystals in our shop.)
Did you read about the seeds that seemingly random people were receiving? Nobody ordered them and nobody knew what they were. They had a few stories on the news asking people not to plant them because it could be a “terrorist attack” of some kind, the seeds could be a weed or plant that would hurt our ecosystem (for lack of better work at 8am) that was sent from China/another country. Seems pretty hyperbolic but I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Don’t we watch this crap for escapism? None of the HWs gives a crap about any of us, none of us should get our panties in a twist defending them. It’s just silly tv.
I read here so often. The other day in a work email I apologized for turning in some paperwork late by blaming my “COVID brain fog.” Suddenly coworkers were calling because they thought I had the virus… whoops.
I live in LA and it’s been smoky and smoggy for days. Sending all my love and positive thoughts to those north of me. The pictures coming out of Oregon are breaking my heart.
I’ve been trying to avoid the news….I am so terrified for my west coast friends.I haven’t even reached out about it or been a good friend. I do have a neighbor who is a pastor or something and I have asked for her to pray for all of us. And she has.
Thank you!
I’m so sorry. I have several friends I need to reach out to and I was remiss. I have a whole nother bucket I haven’t mentioned on line and yet I am so sorry and suck as a friend.
No you don’t. You are providing a safe, online space for us. It means a lot!
And honestly? There isn’t a lot to say. We’re just playing a waiting game and exchanging texts and emails with family up and down the coast which kind of adds to the anxiety b/c no change. Still stuck at home, still weird sky colors, still no comment from you know who. Family in Oregon are hopefully protected by being on the right side of the river.
It is really reminding us of when Mt. St. Helen’s blew, a little over 40 years ago. At least we don’t have inches of ash everywhere. That shit lingered for months and got in everything. I have a big ol jar of it somewhere.
Erica, I remember Mt St Helena eruption, for days we all were anxiety ridden.
I can’t stop crying due to the fire devastation. I live in Northeast Oregon and the smoke is absolutely horrible but nothing compared to what others are going through. Towns wiped out, burned to ground 😢.
I can’t even I want to ask all my friends there but to be honest it is too horrific to process. I pray for them all.
My cousin’s daughter Claire got married and bought a farm a year ago. It is in Colton, southeast of Portland. They evacuated and are safe — along with their dogs, horse, one chicken and one cat. My cousin’s two girls are my closest girls of that generation due to my brother’s marriage to Succubus and the cult thing. Claire is 5 months pregnant and should be nesting. They THINK the house is standing, praying the winds don’t shift.
My best friend’s daughter live about 5 miles away and looters came speeding down their dead end street and up her driveway, got out and climbed the stairs to their front door. A girl with the giant driver persuaded him to leave. He said, “fuck them” but left. They live near Lake Oswego, which is a wealthy mostly-white area, but they are pretty poorISH. They were yelling anti-whitey epithets. She just texted me and said there were arrests and the first guy is ROLLING on the others. Reports are that it was a CONCERTED effort to burn down the entire state! WTF?
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Those rumors are running rampant. I’m sure now there are those who think I want to join in/copy cat what they think is the truth.
I know Lake Oswego! Home of Bruce Springsteen’s first wife! (LOL). Relatives have lived in and around there – shopped and dined there too. Stayed at the hotel right ON the lake for my cousin’s wedding over 20 years ago.
But those fighting and investigating the cause of the fires are trying to stop the antifa/Proud Boys rumors. I can believe looters, etc. are taking advantage. I’ve never held a gun, but I’m seriously thinking of getting a permit. I just believe that people should have lessons/pass a test before owning a gun and wantto follow through with that. However, don’t want to support the NRA nuts. But one of the national parks social media released statements that they were too busy right now to deal with all these rumors bullshit, and the rumors were completely unsubstantiated social media conspiracy shit.
Glad that they got all the animals out. A former coworker lost her home because of a small in comparison wildfire 3 or 4 years ago. She had literally 3 minutes to get out. Someone came pounding on her door that the wind had shifted, she opened up her curtains and there was a wall of fire. She had just gotten home so her keys and purse were right by her door. She tried to grab her cats, but they fled from her into the house. She lost her home, etc. but the thing that bugs her the most is the loss of her cats. She has been posting to people that if you aren’t in immediate risk but it is within 20 miles of you to confine your animals to a room and have their carriers, etc. ready. She has friends who have posted that because of what happened to her, they are doing exactly that and that the car is loaded with food, etc. for the animals already. One said the carrier is even in the car b/c they won’t mess with stuffing them in – just will grab the cat with a blanket and run.
We have carriers for all of the animals — we got them all at yard sales or free. Even though where we live doesn’t SEEM lIke a dangerous fire zone, the entire state of California is Earthquake Country, so … The dogs don’t need to be confined in crates unless we have to go to an evacuation site where crates are required.
Andddddd … my best friend just sent us a box of 24 individually-wrapped rolls of bamboo toilet paper. Let the Apocalypse begin … or maybe not …
Fire officials have ruled out any protesters starting fires. Not giving a opinion just a article I just read.
Antifa exists to fight against Poor bois/boys, bro nazi groups and all racist skin head groups that try to invade peaceful protests.
So I’ve been told. Look up in Wikipedia
Please I only gave definition no argument or sides taken.
Calipatti,
I’m in the midst of some of all this (commercial property manager – I don’t want to give too many details b/c I’ve literally been the target of one group.)
I FIRMLY believe that the looting, rioting, property damage, etc. is anarchists and criminal groups coming in under the cover of the protesters to do damage. Definitely NOT antifa. MAYBE some of the Proud Boys type groups so they can blame black people. (they caught a guy who set two vehicles on fire in Seattle. There is rumors he’s one of those types)
I have a friend who is the mayor of a small town. Our state confirmed to him in a warning that the looters during the initial unrest in Seattle were organized crime. I know of people who were marching that saw these assholes park on a side street, get out, all dressed alike, carrying duffel bags. (they put 2 and 2 together later).
Anarchists want the end of private property ownership and capitalism. They see no difference between Wall Street and Main Street (these idiots have protested Wall Street by protesting and damaging known mom and pop stores.
They don’t give shit about BIPOC. They give lip service when confronted, but they keep appropriating the message. They are almost always white dudes.
WT* each time I return here there is a reason for TT to be reminding us of the rules.
Ladies & others, TV people are not real not really they don’t know or care about you except in ratings. You are a $ amount. If you are reacting to a personality maybe look into yourself, friendships or family.
Just A Suggestion.
Something triggered you to respond in a heightened sense forcing TT to act.
Hey mid state California is a mix of grey skies & cooler temps along the coast except by Big Sur, it is orange. Fires still there. Crept over the mountain into campgrounds and Fort Hunter Leggit, for those of you who like using maps.
San Francisco is bright Orange with a lot of ash. I’m mostly ash free, thinking the fog helps. Fog like this is very unusual, thinking it is heat from fires causing it.
The firemen are still short handed, 12 were over run and had to set up their lifesaving tents. All survived but one is in critical in condition.
California and all western states need Federal help. We did not vote for him so it is slow in coming.
Remember 3% calif forest belong to California, 57% belong to the Feds, just in case anyone wants to suggest something. I’m so sick of us v. them,
want us back together.
Are you high??F
Fancy Pants, guessing you are referring to me.
No sweet heart I combined 2 comments into one post, I did not space correctly or do a grammar check.
Apologies if it offended you or you were unable to understand, try reading slower., you can do it.
Next time you want to channel TT by using one of her favorite lines, use it appropriately.
Try getting high, it might help.

Calipatti ~ please stop with your fake news.
I’ve never done fake news in my life, with one exception early on about entertainment licensing so I have no clue what else you are referring to. Guessing you are leaning to the right.
Oh and I forgot to mention. I WANT MY MAMA.
I’ve said this a million times a day since the pandemic. And I’m going to keep on saying it as long as I feel like saying it, I blocked the entire country of Spain so ya’ll favorite commenter doesn’t have to hear it.
Oh lord.
People act like they personally know these people.
I’m sorry TT.
Can’t we all agree to disagree?
I’d settle for people remembering the commenting rules. If you don’t like it here you don’t have to stay… THE INTERNET IS A VAST AND WONDROUS PLACE. FIND YOUR PEOPLE. If I am not your people go the fuck somewhere else, I don’t need or give a shit if you don’t want to be here anymore, Come, Stay Go.. Do your thing,
Very well articulated ‼️
I am so glad that you closed the haters .I dont know why people have to be so unkind.Times are hard enough.Thanks for shutting it down( even if I got locked out by mistake.still love you TT
You didn’t get locked out you are here.Unless you are a bot. I try not to let the hate escalate. On the other hand Kyle and Rinna are two of my favorite housewives and it hurt my heart (okay in more TT terms I wanted to perpetuate crimes on those people) But they where all no name commenters… And I suspected the bot thing and Psylocke confirmed my suspicions so I shut it down and the a REAL commenter who has been here for YEARS tried to give me shit. And I wasn’t having it
I am not a bot.Continue taking no shit .your site your rules.
I also am a big Rinna and Kyle fan.
You know I love you more than all of my Prada TT!
Thinking the pandemic lock down has effected people also.
Maybe a wee bit more on edge.
Had, yes had a good friend that reacted poorly to the days of evacuation, I doubt we can repair a friendship
The challenge is real right now getting along with people. I have a family member who I love but just can’t agree with on much of anything…in her eyes Trump does not wrong. I say “but the Twitter comments, the way he comes for people, the thin skin, the name calling.” She thinks he’s funny! 🤬 The only focus with her regarding the Floyd & Jacobs shootings is they had records, criminal pasts…THAT DOES NOT MEAN MURDER THEM ON THE STREET ….UNLESS OFFICERS’ LIVES ARE TRULY IN DANGER! I have days I just can’t deal with people,
I’ve never done fake news in my life, with one exception early on about entertainment licensing so I have no clue what else you are referring to. Guessing you are leaning to the right.
I stopped reading the last few posts because the comments were so our of line and unusual for your site. I had every confidence you would soon be stepping in.
you didn’t get locked out baby. I should have closed it earlier. Denise SEEMS TO have sent bot like Nene does. I get dozens of new commenters. spewing vitriol. I should have never put them through but they all come in as new people…. It’s hard to know the difference until you look at the comments over all. And at the time I was approving everyone while dealing with bigger site issues.
Feel better now .Love all.
I cant remember what I posted this week, but I’m sorry if it went against commenting policy. I dont post that often but I do get worked up about RhoBH.
It’s fine to get worked up or have a opinion different from mine. It’s not okay to be VILE in your comments over and over and it became apparent to me that Denise Richards sent bot to my site just like Nene Leakes did in the past. And that is not happening here.
TT, do what you have to do, this is YOUR world!!! And I miss my Grammy. I plan to spend the day emptying out my flower baskets and hanging pots. I planted “Hollywood” Xenia’s this year, they have huge, bright blooms, grow very fast, and are perfect to cut & put in vases around the house. I’ve had some live more than a month in a vase! But, at least in my yard, by September they start to die and get al spindly looking, so all I’m left with are my ferns, which are huuuuge!!!! Was gonna plant some mums but I’m kinda sick of having to keep shit alive outside, I already am feeding cats & dear. And I just took in some tiny little kittens that I’m trying to get homes for, and while they are SOFA KING CUTE, they are a lot of work!!! Three of them have immediately bonded to me and follow me everywhereeeeeeee, I already have two dogs and three cats, so my bathroom is betting pretty crowded when I go pee. LOL
I hear ya!
Why do they do that???
Do I see three more kitties in your future?
Do I see three more kitties in your future? Like us and the guinea pigs?
we have a new kitten (5 months old) who had been abandoned and was bottle fed by his rescuers before coming to us. He has imprinted on my son and is following him around like a puppy. It is so damn cute. He doesnt like me as much yet, but it has only been a week. ( I am trying not to be butt-hurt since I am the one feeding him and cleaning up his pee pee balls and little poopies).
My garden went to absolute shit. I’ve not looked at it in weeks. And I love you have pee watchers. You will miss that when it is over. I am not sure if me or Banjo peed on the bathroon floor recently but I have pretty good aim… so I suspect It was Banjo my sleep cycle is fucked and we are firmly on the STRUGGLE BUS in this household . Pandemic, Hosting Change, HUGE betrayal by a friend, drunken injury, some kind of allergy/cold , all sorts of other scary symtoms… THERE IS A LOT HAPPENING OVER HERE.
I am so sorry when these things happen, and more sorry that people forget that you are a gift, and have given us a place to go. 💛
I’m definitely on the struggle bus. I don’t want to admit what I ate for lunch but it involved golden arches.
I’m in Southern California and have people I know up north, and the pictures I was sent are scary. One picture from Oakland was of the Bay Bridge and it was all orange. The air is of poor quality so I’m not exercising as much as usual.
I tend to get bruises because I’m clumsy and always hitting my shins, toes, and elbows on something. I do it even while sober and can’t remember how I got the bruise.
I’m also in Southern California, it looks like Armageddon with all the haze down here. You can see the ash and smell the smoke from my house. I really hope that they get all the fires under control soon.
I’m in the SF Bay Area, and Wednesday was like an apocalypse with the orange, very dark sky all day long. I had a lovely day Tuesday visiting a friend in Berkeley, socially distant and masked outside. The air was clear and the temperature was more normal than the 103 degrees we had a couple of days before that. I moved here from the East Coast for the climate mainly. Sigh. We still have unhealthy air quality, with fires still burning up and down the coast. My best friend’s son and his wife and baby live in south Portland, 2 miles from a fire, and they are under an evacuation watch. He says things are better today, with the winds dying down. We’ve had grey days with ash falling since Wednesday. I have not left my condo since Tuesday, not even to go downstairs to get the mail. I must do that before Monday. Basically, I am safe. Grateful for the food delivery services! Just waiting everything out until some form of normalcy returns. Gotta say, the pandemic masks fit with a PM 2.5 filter really help block out the smoke while breathing outside.
On another topic, I just saw Bayleigh and her family and Swaggy on a repeat of Say Yes to the Dress! It made me so happy! I have grown to really like her from this boring season (less so today) of BB20. She’s gorgeous for sure, but she’s also smart.
Tamara, I’m so sorry you now have to deal with bots in droves. If it ain’t one thing, it’s another. I was shocked at Just Jenn’s post that you shared; I missed all the drama on the RHOBH post. Sounds like she has a personal issue and was having a bad day. I bet she regrets it, but that’s the way it goes. Things will improve for all of us. They have to. They cannot get much worse, right? (Every time I have that thought, I immediately think of the election in November, and I get very scared.) Stay safe everyone!
Just heard about 2:45p.m. from a Portland-area friend that the winds are dying down and IT LLOKS LIKE RAIN! Pray for rain — and no lightening!
It has cooled down a lot here. It went from three digits to the 50s at night. I used to live in the Bay area (Cupertino) and I worry about people I know there and up in Portland.
I’m not sure if the gray is overcast or smoke, but it’s not orange here. I usually start worrying if I see the helicopters with the dangling water hoses.
I’ve been relying on food delivery often lately. I also tip well.
Really a strange grey here also with cooler than normal temps.
I’ll give you guy’s something to laugh about.
So a friend of mine was staging a house and offered me the potted plants. She brought them over yesterday and was telling me about the plants and how to take care of them. So I was watering the plants because they were super dry. As I am watering them a f^cking frog jumps out. I was on the phone at the time and was screaming. Number one the frog scared the shit out of me and secondly I do not like frogs (birds included). I turned off the water and left the hose in one of the pots and declared I was done for the day. I went in the house and ate an edible. That damn frog triggered my anxiety to the point I do not want to go outside. I read that frogs do not like vinegar and they do not like coffee. So I threw out some used coffee pods towards the potted plants. I am hoping that Kermit is now gone.
Oh I love frogs I would have taken him. I lived in a house in Charleston for a bit and I had a gay kid neighbor( who I think i pledged to marry) somewhere on this site a story about giving all the frogs we caught. 🙂
Be kind and tender to yon frog and do not call him names, like slimey skin or gape a grin or even ugly james. Marc these words.
Indeed
Lol, Marc!
You did say we could laugh, and this made me laugh. At least you did an edible and didn’t try to find a toad to lick.
My neighbor gave me some potted plants before covid, but I wasn’t gifted with a frog.
If that was a good edible, she still might….and I would not be mad at it. LMAO
The edible did work and I still have not gone outside. My mother wants to bring me some food but I told her I am not going outside to get it. Mind you I do have a front door but she’s never used it. I am so happy that I did not carry those pots through my house to the front door. I really would of lost it had the frog jumped out in my living room. Laugh all you want, that’s why I posted it ;).
I’m going to try an edible tonight. My 13 year old lab died on Thursday and my 85 y.o. dad fell and hit his head the next day and is unconscious in an ICU in Boston. My daughter has some issues and is making things worse. BTW, I love the sound that bullfrogs make at night.
HUGS!
My condolences for your lab and I’m sorry about your dad and daughter.
I miss the sounds of bullfrogs. I grew up in a swampy area and it was noisy at night.
That is absolutely hysterical. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I apologize for laughing, not cool of me at all. I know life is coming at you from a.l directions! Stay safe
I would have been SO HAPPY to see a little frog. As long as I could get it to safety.
My cousin’s handle is some version of Frog Mama and her motto in HS was “Frogs are the essence of life.”
I think every one of us cousins on both sides loves weird animals! We are ALL WEIRDOS, even the normal ones, in this family!
Awwwe! I love frogs! I have to rescue them from the pool a lot. I found 2 in there Fri, saved 1, but too late for the other one. I kind of like lizards too….think they are cute but don’t want to handle, but when we dug up a bunch of day lilies back in the spring we had lizards crawling from the root clumps left and right. The husband wanted to kill them, and I protested until we found one that managed to make his way into the house that night just sitting in the middle of the bathroom floor. My protesting was done. Do not want them in my house!
I noticed that the comments had been shut down and was glad. It truly was like nothing I’ve ever seen here before…. the aggressive defense of Denise. Personally, I don’t like the bitch, and I did in the past. I thought she was Miss Open Book…all cool not so uncool (I hear Lu in my head). I thought it was amazing when she took in Charlie & Brooke’s boys. Everyone can fuck up, trust the wrong person, have a bad day, but when you come on a reality show and attempt control production, do a 180 from talking about your husband’s big penis and go on tv telling how you got him a happy ending massage and then you scold the cast and go to THREE cast members individually all for talking about threesomes then you show what a fucking hypocrite you are. She can’t keep up with her lies and double talk. She bashed Kyle left and right in the SUV then in her best sugar would melt voice denied having any issues with anyone. She admitted in her talking head to saying even worse shit about Teddi than what had come out. I don’t care if she fucks Brandi on Ramona Singer’s shit stained sheets, but she’s on a fucking reality show. When you fuck around with someone it is their prerogative to talk about it and everyone knows Brandi talks. The C&D’s are ridiculous and I hope it I was Bravo that did not want her ass back. Denise does what she wants to do and says what she wants to fit her narrative at the time. Her narrative changed after she decided she wanted a Hallmark check. We saw her before our very eyes go from putting her sex life on tv to trying to censor the group on a fucking reality show.
I like Rinna. I love Kyle! I get the group’s aggravation (minus Garcelle) with Denise doing a 180 and the never ending lies…she did have issues with the women, especially Kyle & Teddi, she did start the water cooler talk at her pizza oven party, she kept tripping herself up on whether Brandi was a friend or an acquaintance, and honestly I believe she has texts to blackmail Rinna with as much as I believe her BS about Brandi fucking someone else in the group.
And TT, I’m so sorry you are having to deal with bots and other bullshit on top of the recent BS with your site & the alleged stalker. Love you!
One of my Canookian friends is stuggling from the smoke I am sorry I have neglected to post on this
I literally rock back and forth like Ian on Big Brother. I am doing it right now. I really can’t take any more things. But I love and pray for all of you all of the time. I ask God to touch you and make you all feel safe.
Amen, and thank you, I pray the same for you. Would a kitten help? LOL #KiddingButNotKidding lolololololol
Might depend on Banjo’s reaction to a kitten. LOL
why do I think Banjo would eat a kitten?
Because i’d prolly eat one too? And his head is split open…
Kittens always help. My favorite special needs client nickname for me is KITTEN
We were on the couch ( direct care equivalent to a home health care aide ) & we were snuggled up on he couch blankets during the winter time. His grandmother came in & saw us & said YOU TWO LOOK LIKE A BASKET OF KITTENS! It’s been my non de plume ever since. Have a great weekend friends
xo Marc
Meow, i love this tail of loving.
So over you having to explain yourself, on your blog. Do what ya gotta do. The WLS is still ingenious xoxo
Thanks Lisa, people do not have any idea what happened behind the scenes.
Sending you a hug
Watching news… Trump is now accusing Joe for BEING ON DRUGS? FUCK TRUMP AND ANY OF YOU WHO SUPPORT HIM. I am sorry I CAN’T BE ALL VOTE WHOEVER, I have never given an opinon on politics.
IF YOUR ARE SO STUPID TO BE VOTING FOR TRUMP IT’S NOT ABOUT PARTY ANYMORE. WE WOULD JUST LIKE NOT TO DIE. AND IF WE HAVE TO LOCK YOU UP WE WILL.
T
I’ve come to the conclusion that everything Trump is saying about Joe Biden is absolute projection. Drugs? He and Donnie Jr. do it. Pointing fingers at Joe about Hunter b/c he knocked up a stripper? Well….
Did you see the video clip of chunks of either Adderall or Coke started flying out of his nose and mouth? It was NOT spittle. Out of his mouth, maybe a mint or something… but it also came out of his nose.
I”m going to start reading Mary Trump’s book this weekend. Not sure if I want to give Cohen my coins, or Bob Woodward. We’ll see. I also have a book club book to finish. Quarantine brain has made that difficult. But if anyone is looking for a good one, we recently read _The Giver of Stars_ by JoJo Moyes.
Here is the blurb: “Alice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve, hoping to escape her stifling life in England. But small-town Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic, especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. So when a call goes out for a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt’s new traveling library, Alice signs on enthusiastically.
The leader, and soon Alice’s greatest ally, is Margery, a smart-talking, self-sufficient woman who’s never asked a man’s permission for anything. They will be joined by three other singular women who become known as the Packhorse Librarians of Kentucky. ”
I loved it! Actually FINISHED it.
Everything trump accuses another person of is what he has done himself…every single time. He’s admitting to doing drugs by projecting them onto Biden. Such a disgusting individual. I am almost through Mary Trump’s book and have Melania and Me waiting to read next. Why wouldn’t you want to give Bob Woodward your coins, Erica? I am SO grateful for his stellar journalism, both in taking down Nixon and in helping to take down trump. I hear ya about Michael Cohen, but Woodward is more than worthy IMO.
I’m too cheap to buy books, I wait & borrow them from the library.
I’m a little pissed that he sat on that tape of Trump telling the truth about it being worse than the flu, etc. for months.
But as my Dad said, we don’t know how much vetting he had to do with the legal department, OR when the last phone interview was in case he was going to get other confessions.
Absolutely projecting. He’s far too stupid to come up with his own accusations so he just accuses whoever of doing whatever he’s doing. I read Mary’s book and Cohen’s book. Both are worth the read.
Our constitution and our democracy is in danger. I do not think that is a over statement if Trump is re-elected.
He might be re-elected with his interference in voting places and the mail.
Trump also said Hillary took drugs, he is desperate yet his fans will believe.
Trump would had told us in February that Covid was 5 X’s more deadly than the flu. Our economy and jobs would had been so much better if he had. He did not care about any Americans life, we can die, he won’t notice.
Trump has said he wants to stay in office another 12 years then have Ivanka take over.
Hail to empower Ivanka.
That says it all.
Listen to TT please
I loved that book as well, go figure 🙄
I’ve also just subscribed to Acorn TV… HIGHLY recommend if you like UK/AUS/NZ/CAN mini-series detective type shows. It’s $60 for 13 months, bargain!
Also rented Three Identical Strangers documentary, very well done and super interesting if you are into psychology or just a good doc.
Captain Projection- that’s ALWAYS Trump. I’ve gotta change the subject from Trump and HW- went to outdoor outlet mall today, it was scary as hell. Felt like I was dodging covid bombs even though there were mask everywhere. When does life get to feel like life again?
I am already so anxious and stressed because my FIL is coming to visit on Wednesday. He is a Trump person. And he has to talk about it the moment he walks in the door. But, he brings up topics and ideas that I DONT want brought up in front of my kids. Like, he thinks the riots are going to come here (?) and we should “stock up”. Where are we going to stock up, we live in a townhouse. I sneak out toys every week to the donation bin. I am so full of anxiety because I am worried I am explode all of my liberal lady knowledge on him. It doesn’t help that I just finished reading The Handmaids Tail. LOL.
Oh, craaaaaaaaaaap. You just read The Handmaids Tale AND your Trumpsputin lovin’, mouthy FIL is visiting? You have ALL my sympathy right now.
I read that dystopian permanent nightmare of a novel back in the 80’s when it was first published and I feel like I still need therapy AND a lifetime of financial reparations for the psychological damage I incurred!
I am assuming there’s no way to cancel his visit so some friendly advice? Put yourself in what I call Funeral Mode. Sort of hover outside the realm of what’s really going on. Half-assed pay attention to the shit going on around you. You know…pay only enough attention to your surroundings that you will notice if a marauding band of rabid bears and alligators are getting ready to attack, but pretty much everything else is background noise while you secretly are looping all your favorite songs in your head!
I am REALLY feeling your pain.
Good luck.
Oh…here are some internet hugs. Sounds like you need them. (((hugs)))
I was so traumatized by Handmaid’s Tale (Handmaids’) I had nightmares for weeks. Read it my senior year in HS. My BFF, whose memory is usually shit on trivia like that, yelled NOOOOOO! when her husband started telling me “hey, we’ve gotten into a new show…” (Usually we share recommendations and like the same stuff). She turned to me and said “Don’t watch it… you won’t sleep again.” I knew EXACTLY what she was talking about. One of the bennies of having a friend since 7th grade. 🙂
Can’t give FIL advice other than direct “change the subject please” and offer up a topic to one of your kiddos to tell grandpa all about, or if he refuses, sending the kids out of the room and leaving yourself after repeated asks to stop.
Or teaching the kids to interrupt him by screaming FAKE NEWS! FAKE NEWS!?
Checking in… the sky is currently a urine yellow, which is better than the more reddish color it was early this morning. Slept until noon, and am very surprised the parents didn’t comment. Dawned on me that there was a physical reason for why I am tired – everything burning? I’M ALLERGIC TO. Made the mistake of mentioning that to my mother and now it is all she can think about. Luckily, they have a good AC system, and I have a stand alone air filter machine in my room here (a left over from when I brought the cat over. The litter box used to be in there too, and this would even get rid of the fresh litter smell! I have family up and down the West Coast, in all 3 states, including San Francisco.
I’ve not watching or keeping up with RHOBH since they took a break halfway through. Sounds like I only missed Brandi and yet the argument was the same. I was team Erika then. She assumed the same as I would – that a woman who spent all last season talking about her husband’s dick, details of their sex life, Charlie’s sex life, etc. wouldn’t necessarily be offended by a mention of threesomes (not in graphic detail either) when her TEENAGERS (not littles) were somewhat nearby. Same teenagers have a computer in their pocket with the ability to watch or read the social media comments on their stepfather’s schlong and the skillset he has in using it. Erika’s assumptions were reasonable, but she also APOLOGIZED to Denise the minute Denise mentioned it at that lunch. My mom who watched the threesome convo and thought it was inappropriate was also “THEY APOLOGIZED! Denise is the one who is continuing to make it a topic of conversation now!”
That is a big pet peeve of mine. Everyone screws up. These days people are so reluctant to apologize and admit wrong doing that when we GET or GIVE a sincere one and the other party says I accept the apology and I forgive you… but then bashes you over and over for it afterward. Ugh.
Now, if you have burned down my house b/c of your asinine gender reveal party? Yeah, that one may take multiple apologies. But saying the word “threesomes” in front of your teenagers? (Teens who are the children of Charlie Sheen, spending holidays with him and his “goddesses” who all slept together?) Get over yourself.
Here is where I’m now tiredof it
Prayers for you and your family.
I agree with you about the threesome talk. Denise had literally just brought up Aaron’s big dick before the threesome talk started. Why would they have felt the need to censor their conversation especially after ALL that Denise put on camera last season???
Another thing that annoys me is Dorit. I have never liked her, but I think Kyle was her story line this year. She saw the backlash Kyle got over LVP last year and decided to use it to ingratiate herself w/the Kyle bashers. I totally get Kyle’s frustration with Dorit being late. If Bravo is your job during certain months, then do it. Yes, the ladies all show their side hustles, but when you have a call time for a group filming then be there! I get that Dorit is desperately trying to put ridiculous clothes w/24” font in her closet, but do the job you’re paid for. I don’t understand why Bravo allows some to slide on certain shit.
Kyle was a moderately successful child star. Remember when her youngest wanted to do some sort of classes (I can’t remember if it was acting or dance) and she started goofing off? Admired Kyle for pulling her aside and telling her that if she wanted to do this, she had to respect the teacher and everyone else’s time. I was impressed and not surprised by this.
Kyle was on Little House. I read Alison Arngrim’s Confessions of a Prairie Bitch (She was Nellie! Great book!) She said that while Michael Landon created a working space that was child friendly and SAFE for them (very important to her – her home wasn’t), he also didn’t tolerate the kid actors not being ready to work when it was time to film a scene, that they had to respect everyone else’s time and the money the production was spending on that.
Talentless Dorit showing up late and being a diva when Kyle has worked with professionals her entire life must have stuck in her craw.
I LOVED Alison Arngrim’s book!
She’s so awesome! (I LOVE that she and Melissa Gilbert are still good friends… a couple of years ago on Twitter they ended up arranging that Alison would be Melissa’s drop off and pick up for her first colonoscopy where she would be out of it of course… Alison said she would do it if she could push Melissa around in the wheelchair to freak people who know the show out. Remember the episode where Laura pushed Nellie down the hill in a wheelchair?)
Thats funny
Oh and thank you for the prayers!
There is absolutely no wind right now. If that could just be the case up and down the coast until we get some rain, that would be awesome!
Eloise is not a teenager and she was actually standing at the table next to her seated mom, at some point during the conversation.
I’m Team Denise. I’m Team Tamara.
Then her mom shouldn’t have set the tone for the conversation by once again talking about her husband’s penis size. That’s the point Denise’s hypocrisy.
And again, Erika APOLOGIZED. As someone said, she’s talked about her husband’s dick in front of Eloise. I question if Eloise would even understand.
People going somewhere, a site, a town/city, a state, etc. They go there because they like the vibe. But they get there and want to start and change it, usually into the place they left and didn’t like anymore. What is the piece in people that drives them to do that?
Amen, and thank you, I pray the same for you. Would a kitten help? LOL #KiddingButNotKidding lolololololol
TT, you make the rules on YOUR site. Period! Not open for negotiation!!! Meanwhile I must have missed something re: evil comments but either way…. here in Newport Beach the air quality is gross so I’ve been… what else? Cleaning, Going to garden center tomorrow morning just to browse. The fires north of us are horrific and catastrophic. This whole year is just surreal….. stay safe everyone and please! Follow TT’s commenting rules.
I missed all the bad comments. Took a break from RH shit.
I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED in the RHOBH and RHONY because BOTH groups started filming AFTER Covid-19 AND the #BLM and NOT ONE of those bitches — I don’t usually call them that — has said ONE WORD along the lines of “in the midst of all of this turmoil and now understanding how many people out there are suffering from losses of every kind, especially losing loved ones, I realize that all of our issues are MINUSCULE in comparison. More than ever, I am grateful for the abundance of riches in my life.” It could go FURTHER with “In that spirit, I would like to extend an olive branch to every other woman sitting here and make the first move to healing the hurts — whether intentional or unintentional — and do whatever it takes to prove my words.” FURTHER, “We all have the opportunity to show our fans out there watching and supporting us that we are more than just petty, ungrateful, ungracious bitches. Fucking namaste.”
But that would be WAY TOO MUCH TO EXPECT, WOULDN’T IT?
Filming the REUNIONS after COVID-19 and George Floyd #BLM.
Just one more thing … Tamara, your new Little Dutch Boy sure is getting a baptism by fire, isn’t he. It sounds like it’s been coming from many directions. But it seems he/they are kicking ass! Go Holland, go!
Also, one more, one more thing. Every time I think of Holland and the Dutch Boy, I see Nene in that blond Dutch Boy wig! Why would she EVER think that was a good look? As David Letterman once said, to dispel rumors that he was wearing a toupee, “IF I WERE wearing a toupee, do you REALLY THINK it would look like THIS?”
I thought wigs were supposed to make you look BETTER than you do with your natural hair!
I’m so not tech savvy I was wondering what happened to the comments on BH because I was wondering if there was any news on Dorit selling the new house already. I went back to see if anyone responded and noticed there were no more comments and was wondering what happened.
I’m not tech savvy either and it sometimes gets me in trouble. I got in trouble yesterday or the day before because I unknowingly posted in the wrong place. I did apologize though.
You got in trouble for posting in the wrong place, from me? Sorry if so but that is not really a thing. People post in the wrong place all the time, including me.
No, not from you TT. Sometimes when I’m scrolling comments my screen will freeze and when I comment it will post under someone else’s comment when I’m trying just to leave my own comment. Anyway, a person thought I was commenting to her and she wasn’t happy about it. I will try to avoid that person. I honestly didn’t know my comment posted to her. No harm. I apologized.
I saw that. I think that’s the commenter who is now gone (not positive).
Yes, it was the same poster but I didn’t know all the other stuff had gone on. I couldn’t figure out what I did to cause her to lash out. Thank you for naming names because I really felt bad thinking I had done something wrong.
I think we all need to be a bit patient and settle in to our new home. I’m still working on some new quirks. Thanks for sticking with me. We’ve lost lots if followers mostly because I’m unwell. Thanks for keeping up the comments.
You have a loyal following for a reason! Hugs to you!
Jaded, you got in trouble with someone who took her toys and went home! Worry no long!!
Whew! I truly didn’t know what I had done AND didn’t know the other things happened. I was trying really hard to keep her name in my brain so I could always steer clear.
Our quarantine hodgepodge garden is kind of shit too. Glad I made the girls turn the earth, but one went back to school and me and the oldest went back to work. We sporadically hoed and watered. Only weird little salad tomatoes made, that we don’t even remember planting and LOTS of butternut squash took over the rest of the plot. I found out you can just wash the squash, throw in crockpot on high 3 hours and Voila. We been pigging out on them with butter and low sugar brown sugar.
I’ve been here at TT’s for years. I never understand all the butthurt lol. I’ve had a mostly thankless job most of my adult life and being TT would rank right up there. I’ve been a long time Teresa Giudice and especially Juicy Joe fan here with no problems. Altho’ I initially loved Lisa Rinna and also Ericka, recent seasons I cannot stand them. Guess what? Nobody (including me) cares! Funny how that works. 🙂 Now a legitimate psycho is causing real life scary problems and that’s the time for dramatic declarations, really? I think I like the bots better.
I went thru a bad couple of months of returned severe panic attacks but therapy is helping. The other thing helping is swimming. I think of you every time I go TT. My doc says it’s safe and I do kind of believe in the powers of chlorine without Dr. saying so. By “swimming” I hope you know I mean MOVING for 50 minutes LOL. I float, dog paddle, swimm-ish and piddle. Every joint in my body stretches and pops tho’. It’s great! Thanks for the idea. Hope you can get back to it. I know it will help your sore chest.
And yes it’s at the point of Fuck anybody voting for Trump …. and especially fuck those who do not vote at all. Which is also a vote for this freak.
We have carriers for all of the animals — we got them all at yard sales or free. Even though where we live doesn’t SEEM lIke a dangerous fire zone, the entire state of California is Earthquake Country, so … The dogs don’t need to be confined in crates unless we have to go to an evacuation site where crates are required.
Andddddd … my best friend just sent us a box of 24 individually-wrapped rolls of bamboo toilet paper. Let the Apocalypse begin … or maybe not …
I had no intention of watching Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Now I can’t wait, one of the housewives married her late Grandmother’s 2nd husband. This back story I gotta hear.
I moved recently and can’t get my Sciatica pain to shut up, I am going to physical therapy now. I’ve been unable to get my home unpacked and organized so I finally gave up and hired someone. It was totally worth it. All my pretty stuff is where it belongs so life is looking up now.
Oh, how I envy you. I haven’t seen my favorite pretties and family photos in either 15 or 3 years, depending on which move. Unpacking while in pain was just too much. I hope you feel better. CBD helps my sciatica!
And now … the only two rooms I’ve had set up — the bathroom and the kitchen — have been torn apart for SEVEN MONTHS. After major water leaks in both rooms, that we told the landlords about when they were small leaks, we have had everything from both rooms in boxes in the living room. Boxes packed for CONVEYING not for STORING things. Because it was supposed to be seven DAYS, not months. Here came Covid-19 when we need to wash our hands often, and no bathroom sink. Try falling into the bathtub when you are dizzy, trying to wash your hands. And, did I mention, FLATTENED CARDBOARD BOXES for the bathroom floor? Tamara has seen a photo. Even the Ghetto Shack can’t compete with cardboard floors! At least it gave us something to laugh about!
Stopped in to see how peeps on my favorite site are doin’. Missed some of the vitriol, that’s ok, TT cares of it. And TT, time to be kind to you. Glad you shut things down when they need to be.
I have family in Portland and South Eastern Oregon and I have been dealing with their fears and indecision about whether to pack up and go to Boise. Half did. I’ve learned more about normally wet forest areas that are (were) thick with undergrowth but rarely burn. Suddenly up in flames. I felt so lucky being in only smoke filled Arizona.
Last night two fires erupted on both sides. Heavy brush. Neighbors texted around midnight. No one got much sleep. And small wonder, we didn’t get a single monsoon all summer and it was the hottest on record. Until this whole election is over, I don’t plan on sleeping well anyways.
Have my own opinions about the Housewives based on their past behavior. Something seems up with recent producers. Not sure what yet.
The fires are absolutely devastating and my heart goes out to everyone who is living this nightmare. The west coast is burning, the gulf coast is about to get hit by another hurricane, just saw that we could get 17 inches of rain along with the hurricane, and Trump is having himself a rally. What a useless piece of shit. The USPS is sending post cards explaining how to vote by mail and reassuring ppl that they can and will deliver all mail. All because we have a Soulless monster for a president. I wish I could add something positive but today has been shit. Tomorrow we’ll be making sandbags and watching the storm. We’re south of I-10 but not south of the railroad tracks along hwy 90 so we don’t typically get evacuation orders. We shall see though. Love to all of y’all!! We need it!
TS Sally is off my coast right now and dumping so much rain!. Very gusty wind too, Hence why I am awake now.
Wish I could Send this rain out west. Sending prayers to all! ❤️
Good luck.
Take care, Amanda! I’m on MS-LOU state lines but it shouldn’t be near as bad for me. Wondering if any of your conservative neighbors are freaking out about main-in voting. Ours are sure USPS is planning to dump all Trump votes since postal service endorsed Biden. We can only hope lol. Anyway, be safe!!!!
Thinking about you Amanda and wishing you the best.
Thank you, TT, for always taking the time and trouble to make your site a fun and civil place to be. It is such a blessing. I knew something was up when the BH comments went bananas. Glad we’re back to ourselves. We’re super smoky in SoCal, but the winds are quiet right now, and it’s not so hot. The big Bobcat Fire is moving into the chaparral that hasn’t burned in forever, but at least it’s moving somewhat away from houses. I’m just praying for everyone in danger. I’m praying that people will use good sense, and not take chances with their lives. Praying for you and Banjo, TT! Hang in there, honey.
And while I am on a rant. There is the cancel Netflix thing because of the movie Cuties. The women I know that are the bothered by this movie were the biggest fucking hoes I ever met. Yes, they are (were) my friends but they are the same chicks that were giving hand jobs in middle school. One lady that is soooo outraged had two kids before we graduated high school. Any one else see this? Like the people that are so upset about are the ones that have the highest body counts.
Oh, and the whole point of the film is how girls, especially black girls, are sexualized. It is SUPPOSED to disturb you. It is as if they think this doesn’t happen in real life or something, that the movie is the cause.
I tell ya, FB and shit like this lets you know the IQ of people ya know.
Have you been tested for the rona? Those symptoms are verging on virus. Thank goodness for Tamara. Get healthy because we need you ! ❤️
My heart goes out to the people on the west coast, it truly looks like hell out there, I wish the rain from the hurricanes in the south east could be flown over to the west to dump on the fires.
I saw a quote the other day that was posted on one of my sites and I loved it so much I wanted to share it.
“Does anyone else feel like they are a lazy perfectionist with ADHD and chronic fatigue who is pretty chill besides the occasional panic attack and loves friends but hates people? ”
that is me all over.
Hi TT, I have lurked more years than I care to remember, first time post!
Sorry to hear that you have been having so many issues – it’s really not on and you are a champion for taking firm and decisive action!
I love love love this site, and I adore the fact everyone has a different take on things – it’s the main reason why I trawl through everyone’s comments, to get different perspectives on my own take on scenarios and people! I fully agree that you can disagree with people without getting nasty and personal!
Anyway, the main point to this post is because I’m a bit confused – did you close the reunion recap pt1 to comments or was there a part 2 recap which was closed? The reason I ask is that I seem to be able to post on the pt1 comments (well there is a box to do so!), but if there is a pt 2 recap I can’t see it on the site.
If you haven’t recapped pt 2 yet – no complaints here! I just appear to have missed all the drama (thankfully) and am not sure if there was a pt2 recap I missed so I thought I would finally comment to that effect!
Sorry if this is the dumbest first post ever!!
Welcome. Keep posting😁
I take umbrage at that poster’s suggestion about your stalker (and T.Rav?). Bots play dirty, I guess.
That particular poster is someone who had been here awhile. TT had allowed her to post her opinions, which were pretty strong against the majority of the RHOBH cast and for Denise. So, I don’t know why Just Jenn got pissed as she got her 2 cents in and then some before TT shut it down. What Just Jenn said to TT was pretty damn despicable as genuinely invested in speaking up for women who have been allegedly raped, assaulted, etc as Tamara has been. That was foul as f**k what she said to Tamara about Ravenel and Mentouri especially after the hell she has gone through with a Mentouri stalking her and causing hell with the site host. My jaw hit the floor when I read that.
It’s TT’s site. She’s entitled to shut down commenting, say what she wants, or boot any of us who get out of line.
Right– Just Jenn wasn’t a bot. She posted a ton and not all of it was offensive. Is it possible that she just had a shitty day? It can be easy to vent in this forum, with care not to piss off TT.
I don’t know if it was a shitty day or shitty life to spew the vitriol at TT that she did. She really went too far.
I love this site. The majority of comments are intelligent and well balanced. I get the feeling there’s a bunch of what I refer to as the Vanderpimps infiltrating. They’re so obsessed with her as a heroic figure and tear down anyone who doesn’t agree taking old fought battle lines and continuing them, I noticed they have abandoned Reality Tea and moved to Reality Blurb they completely drown out anyone else with opinions contrary to their own.
Keep going Tamara they’ll soon get tired and swarm off to another place where they can spout their tunnel vision crap
WHY DOESN’T ANYONE CARE THAT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OF SPAIN HAS BEEN BLOCKED?!?!?!!?
It’s so racist. 🙂
Sending positive thoughts out west and now to New Orleans which is about to get another hurricane. I’d say I can’t wait for 2020 to be over but I said that about 2019 and now I’m terrified.
My parents’ home in Ashland, Oregon has burned down.
The fire was deliberately set.
So depressed.
I’m so sorry! This is awful! Praying for all!🙏😢
So sorry to hear this, Lori. A big hug from me.
Lori I am so sorry to hear this news. This is just so tragic for you and your family. I am so sorry. You know they have caught three arson starters near the California wildfires here too.
❗️Thanks , Cheryle so much!
Appreciate you pointing this out…I posted a clip on my Facebook page showing exactly that behavior.
How such a few losers can ruin so many other innocent lives make me weary, anymore.
I know a man was arrested for a fire in Big Sur but it’s out, I think. A woman arrested for starting fires along side highway101.. some wanted her tagged to a group but DA refused stating no connections.
Then a homeless man arrested for the Phoenix Oregon Fire that did do damage to homes , no with any group but the crazies
Then those other 2 nuts, who started fires along different interstates in Oregon. They were put out. No group association.
Most big fires in California are lightening related. The gender reveal party that started that large fire are known and charges will be filed later.
Cheryl. Where did you read that? One California Fire was started by a gender reveal party, they face charges.
Someone in here here said a fire was started by a Molotov cocktail. True but NotTrue. The mans been arrested for starting a grassfire with a bottle and wick alongside the interstate which was put out right away. After his release he went ion to light 6 more fires along the interstate with firefighters and citizens putting those out. He was admitted to a hospitable on a mental hold.
So no major fire started with a Molotov cocktail.
Oregon Fire Captain has released a statement that no fire was started by any groups in Oregon after investigations by FBI and local law enforcement. He wants the rumors to stop. Taking up man power to protect the public.
Patti. I am not sure but I think it was KTLA.
Patti.. it was either KTLA or KTTV as those are my only news sources. I only really watch those two channels as I prefer local news programs for news.
One arson was from the Santa Monica fire, one from the Monrovia area fire and the other one was found near the San Bernadino fire.
Omg! Lori, I am so sorry. Prayers and love to you and your family. I hope that y’all are all safe.
It’s been CRAZY in our county today. A Dodge Challenger was on I-24 here. Something happened in the car (they were from MO). One guy shot and killed another guy in car & shot & injured 2 others. They had side swiped a car in all the scuffle causing wrecks on I-24. The shooter carjacked the car they hit. Left that car. Carjacked a black Camry. The reporter from Channel 5 said there were 2 more cara believed to be hijacked after the Camry. He shot a trucker in the neck who stopped to help when it all unfolded on I-24, then shot an elderly lady in the hand. One of the carjackings was a local family. People are traumatized. Where he got off interstate at is a rural community where my sister lives. Then, he ended up w/2 hostages at some point. They were searching for him in a neighboring county. Ended up finding him in Marion Co TN. Don’t know the details yet, but reporter says the suspect is 10-7, deceased, 1 hostage was still w/suspect and alive, but he shot the other hostage and it’s believed dumped them on side of interstate & cops are searching for that victim now. So, at least 2 dead (including shooter), at least 5 others shot , 4 vehicles jacked, and wrecks on the interstate.
Oh my God that sounds like a horrible movie it’s sad for the victims who get caught up in that type of violence
That is horrible. My prayers are with the families of the victims. I want people like this to suffer but that is un-Christian of me.
The TBI corrected/updated some things tonight. The shooter killed one and shot 1 other of his own traveling companions. That’s when all hell broke loose. He tried to car jack an elderly woman but the TBI spokesman said she wouldn’t unlock the door and was shot in the hand, and the truck was collateral damage (he was shot in the face, not neck). The shooter then car jacked a mustang and took the husband and wife hostage. He made them drive to their home. He took 2 guns from it and transferred into a Rav 4 they had. He shot the husband multiple times in the back, killing him, and dumped his body out at one of the four interstate exits here. Then, headed toward Chattanooga with the woman still hostage. He was spotted and pursued by cops. He wrecked, and shot himself at that point. The woman survived.
I cannot begin to imagine her HELL. Her life was forever changed today. Praying for her!
What a horrific story! No ones life will ever be the same after a horrible experience like that. Did he survive or die shooting himself?
Prayers to all who were involved!
The shooter did shoot and kill himself after rolling the Rav 4. It’s such a tragic ending for the husband & wife who were taken hostage …found out the husband was only 23 and the wife who they say likely witnessed her husband’s murder and then his body being dumped is pregnant. It’s a miracle she survived the wreck. I just can’t even imagine her hell.
That is horrible!! What is wrong with ppl?? There was a similar but less dramatic incident not long ago a mile from our exit and I still get anxious driving on I-10. You kinda have to take it to get around where I live. I don’t even know if the suspect was ever caught.
Wow, I’m stunned that anyone would call you out on YOUR site. I actually think you don’t have an issue if someone disagrees with you or another commenter as long as that diasagreement is respectful. All this to say, you do you. Man, I hate it when someone mistakes kindness or forbearance as an open invitation to tell you how to live your life. Even worse when that person REPRIMANDS you. Wth?
Stay well TT. DO NOT LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN!
I am so sorry to hear what everyone is going through. I will try to do better soon. It’s weird what happens when you are locked in house with no people. No human contact. Just nothingness. I am not usually a hugger, but I am going to hug every fucking body I pass when I ever get our of here. I need a hug.
Gives Tamara a virtual hug. I know real ones are better but it’s the best I can do for now.
HUGS TT!!! 😘
Internet Hugs all around.
(((hugs)))
💛❤️💚💙🤎🖤🧡💜
Hugs to everyone!! We’re in the bullseye for Sally now. I’m not happy. I haven’t been through a strong hurricane since I was a teenager. Twenty inches of rain is unimaginable. Will we ever get calmness or normalcy again?
Oh no! I’ve been praying for those in Sally’s path. I will pray for you specifically as well. Virtual hugs! ❤️🙏
Thanks MelG! It’s basically stationary at this point. We’re still in the not good spot but moving the little hurricane symbol 15 miles from my house isn’t a huge relief since this thing is huge. The casinos shut down so you know it’s serious. We tend to judge things by casino closures and shipyard closures down here. I’m still praying for the fire victims. I wish I could send them some of this rain.
My favorite part is watching the weather channel ppl struggle with our city names. They skip Pascagoula and say Biloxi or Mobile. They don’t even try to say some of the rivers like Escatawpa or Tchoutacabouffa.
LMAO! I could not say those river names stone cold sober.
Isn’t it crazy how one end of the country desperately needs rain while another has a hurricane dumping water??? I pray 2021 is better.
I hope you are ok, Amanda. I’m laughing about the difficulty the weather people have pronouncing the town names. I grew up in Alabama and had cousins in Pascagoula, and no one could ever pronounce that. Stay safe, take care.
Aww. Pascagoula is almost home for me. Lots of friends and family there. We’re all good. Went to bed waiting on a category 3 storm and woke up to maybe it’ll make landfall somewhere at sometime as a category 1. Crazy.
I live outside Philly, we have the schuylkill river … that gets people every time 😛
I’d be afraid to say that one too, Beets!
UPDATE!
It is drizzling rain right now! Not enough to drench out a fire, but it is a start. It is also cooler and more humidity when it isn’t raining.
My family in Oregon has had their evacuation (level 1) alert lifted as well. HUGE relief there. I didn’t realize how tense I was about that.
But meanwhile, I did something to my back. I can’t say it hurt hurts… but I’m incredibly stiff and it feels bruised. I felt it every time I moved last night in bed. (Small of my back, so probably sciatica or something. Haven’t had this issue since I lost weight, so disappointing.)
I keep praying for everyone in the path of fires & Sally. Hope your back feels better!
Thanks Mel!
Found a bottle of Tylenol with Codeine (Thank you Canada!) and finally caved and took two. Also busted open a boxed wine, watched the first episode of Cobra Kai, finished the 1981 Clash of the Titans, then started Star Trek the original (starting with the non Kirk pilot!). So my back is feeling a bit more loose as is my brain. Oh, I did do a hot pad before the Tylenol with Codeine. I really should go to bed since it is 2 AM, but I slept on the couch this afternoon.
I just discovered the medical massage… heaven!
I watched the “never before seen pilot” of Star Trek too.Back when the women wore slacks instead of the 70s barely covering anything dresses.
I have Radio frequency ablations done on my back every 6 months. I could not function if I didn’t. I’ve got thoracic & cervical discs pressing into my spine (thoracic is right behind my heart so dr said no surgery unless absolutely have to). I’ve got a herniated lumbar disc, stenosis, some scoliosis, moderate to severe arthritis in every disc…back pain sucks ass! I get the rooster comb injections in knees every 6 mos also. I have no viscosity left. The podiatrist is trying to prolong foot surgery. I’m beyond flat footed, and my foot/ankle joints don’t lock and have just about worn out the joints. He doesn’t want me on my feet for more than 15 min at a time and no standing in one place. Swimming is about the only exercise I can handle. It sucks. I always did what I wanted. I’ve planted shrubs, dug them up, lifted, shoveled 7 tons of brick chips by myself, painted our house (inside) more times than I can count, laid tile. I always enjoyed doing renovations, building spec homes. It just sucks to age, but the alternative…. LOL
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Ugh! That must be so frustrating! And yes, the alternative is worse!!!
I hope your back gets better soon Erica. And that y’all get some more rain. I wish I could send you some of ours, minus the wind. At least you found some decent pain medicine. That’s a plus!
So happy your family is safe.
The newlyweds in my family up in Colton, Ore. just got news that their house and barn are safe! Smoke damage, but standing🙏🏼👏🌈
The ANIMALS ARE SAFE.
People have been sneaking in to feed and water the animals and someone figured out how to contact them at my cousin’s house in LO!
I am beyond happy. The rental house in the mountains they moved out of a year ago is obliterated and the surrounding forest destroyed.
Wooo hoooo! Great news!
Now if we could get the air quality to improve. Thank goodness I ordered a bunch of the Korean versions of N95. Cloth masks just aren’t cutting it. (My dad did some work outside – his mask is filthy on the outside!)
