I felt a bit vindicated recently when Wendy Williams recently said on hot topics there is not much going on. There is really nothing to report expect politics. Normal people are quadrating. I did watch Salt Lake City today. I wasn’t really feeling it. I really don’t care which one is Lisa and which one is Meredith. Jen is annoying AF. And well… there is Mary. I felt bad because Whitney’s dad was featured and APG seems obsessed with him. Jen is hideous. And someone told me (not a true source) That Mary was supposed to be a friend and then got added back in to be on every episode. This did not come from my source but it does sort of make sense. Because you know production realized early on she was money.
I also watched Southern Charm. While I do still hate Leva, I may hate Madison more. Those two both want to be camera hogs. But they will never be Kathryn. And in interesting news, Leva has suddenly decided to be BFFs with her. Smart but calculated news. And if anyone on that show is “beta” it is Danni. So why be such a cunt to her? Leave Danni alone. She has some things going on. And also as someone who also has a lot of shit always happening (currently, I seem to have managed to lose my driver’s license somehow). I’m a total shit show. The DMV in a pandemic? Not my thing.
DID I MENTION THE HUSTLER FIFTEEN TIMES YET?
And no I am not getting paid. Yesterday’s open forum someone said they were on Jeopardy I Lost on Jeopardy.
I feel like I am one person adjacent to Alex Trebek AND Weird Al Yankovich and it made my day. Seriously, anyone who goes on Jeopardy is my idol. Except Nannette who knows everything If they tell you Nanette is the just go the fuck home. She needs to be on either Jeopardy or The Chase. She. KNOWS. EVERY DAM THING. For real. And I am jealous of her intellect. It’s true. It occurs to me that I was once on a site with a name I cannot recall and she also lost on Jeopardy… HMMMM
Alright so what are we talking about tonight. I’m about to head back to bed. And I am starting to think I might need to get fucking tested. If that is even possible. UGH. Better to know than to not know right? And also you guys overwhelm me with kindness and it is kind of hard for me to accept. But thank you. And good night.
Oh wait sorry. Ben and Jerry’s Pistachio Pistachio is totally in my freezer but my favorite is Dulche Leche by Haagen Dass. Which I also have on hand. I don’t eat much ice cream until those days I do. I’m really not a huge fan of Ben and Jerry’s they don’t make anything without a bunch of chunks it it. So probably. I’m more Haagen Daas. And we don’t actually get pistachio ice cream in this country. Yet another reason to travel.
As for my favorite flavor of crazy? Sometimes I profess my undying love for my imaginary gay husband IRL and on line. I just love him so much.
I think a lot of dmvs have more online options and or a kiosk especially for replacing a lost dL. I watched previews of the southern charm reunion and wtf??? Shep and Craig look like greasy haired rejects from the 70s and Madison even looked bad…which I love!!! My fav ice cream is banana or orange pineapple
Get tested! It is better to know. I was kind of exposed to someone who was exposed and I just got tested. It was easier than a panic attack. Have a good sleep. I want Nanette to be my phone a friend. But in real life for everyday stuff. Just sayin.
She a great phone a friend and puts up with me so much.
also I am starting to think I need to get tested. And I REALLY need a will.
Chocolate Chip Mint. But yes, download a Will “form” from the internet. Or just write it out. It doesn’t need to be notarized or recorded. Sign it and write, “I believe myself to be of sound mind and body on whatever date.” Leave it on a table in the open. Find someone you trust and make them either a signor on your bank account, or a Power of Attorney. Jeezus. I just did all of this last week. I hear you. I’m kidless. I’m also scared of dying. If I get the Rona, I’m a gonner for sure. I am not healthy.
Another childless person here. It’s better if you do the form and have it signed in front of a notary, but just writing it down is better than nothing. My mother wrote down her will and all of us honored it, including my step-dad. You gave lots of good advice.
My favorite ice cream is Dutch Chocolate.
I agree about writing your own will. My son is an attorney and has stated what you said many times, even though he specializes in probate and estate planning.
Oh my gosh – I feel you. My father was an estate & wills attorney and I don’t have an up-to-date will. He is shaking his head upstairs. I really, really need to put that to the top of my list. Anyone who had to deal with my current paper trail would be ready to kill me – If I wasn’t already dead.
Seriously- get tested. There are easy drive ups at local drugstores. CVS?? Covid has seriously hit Virginia and everyone is saying the same thing – “I thought I just had a cold”.
My favorite flavor of crazy was on the airplane when I was a flight attendant. Oh the crazy, the maddening, and the FUN – all rolled up on a flight to Europe. Boy I miss working with all different types of people. Race, Gender, Background, interests, sexual preference – we were a mutt of a group and I loved every minute of it.
Favorite ice cream is soft serve Dairy Queen any flavor any day.
There is a Dairy Queen next to our Walmart. My husband loves the soft serve. I’ll admit that I like ice cream sandwiches.
Legal Zoom is a great site to get a will drafted, just have it notarized & filed in the county you live in.
As someone who spent way too long in probate court, with a will & trust – just signing wasn’t enough (TX)….laws differ state to state.
Ice Cream – Carvel Pistachio Flying Saucer or Hags Rum Raisin.
I get it, TT. While I’ve felt so much relief since Wednesday, I’m also so fucking tired. I feel like I’ve aged so much in the last six years!
At least I’m not instantly afraid of my Twitter feed any more, but I’m still so used to doom-scrolling that it’s going to take me a few more days to adjust to our new reality.
My skin is falling off my face. It’s concerning. I didn’t think this happened to fat people. considering fucking injections.
This entire country is going to experience mental health issues after all we’ve been through. Hope you’re soon feeling less traumatized. Sending love and all good wishes your way.
I have considered myself very lucky because my family moved in early February of last year right before everything started to lock down. At one end of my street is a huge (and I mean HUGE) local butcher shop and they always had ground beef and chicken. Sometimes there was a limit but I was never worried.
At the other end of my street is a Baskins Robbins! With a drive thru! It is my favorite ice cream store ever. I love the smell of the inside of Baskins Robbins. Anyway, my favorite ice cream is Jamaican Me Crazy in a waffle come.
And today I watched This is Life with Lisa Ling about the Furry community. I always thought it was a sexual thing. I was bawling by the end. The people featured had endured really awful trauma and had found that as a way to shed their anxiety and be who they wanted to really be. They were all extremely artistic, talented people. I always thought it was super weird and bizarre but my mind was changed by the end. I found it on HBO Max. I may be in the middle of redneck country, but I have always enjoyed learning about people who are different than me.
Also, I had to look to see if it is 8:15 am or pm because all I do is sleep, roll over and watch tv a bit and then sleep some more. And I burned my soup today. Yes, yes you can burn soup.
I’ve burned soup before, it’s awful. I’m so sorry you’re still unwell, TT. An ice cream store with BOOZE INFUSED flavors opened up about 20 min away from us right before the pandemic and I never got to go before lockdown. They’re still in business, but they don’t do curbside because you have to show ID or something, so I still haven’t had any.
I forgot to say an interesting thing about myself on the other post. I can’t even decide what I should say about me, personally. My brain is fried. But, something interesting – my kids and I got to meet Tom Holland when he was filming a movie with the Russo Brothers near us back in Fall to Winter 2019. He was super nice and so was the production crew. They kind of kept filming locations on the DL, but anyone local could easily spot them (plus there was some friend to friend word of mouth). They were really nice about letting people watch the filming and just made us follow certain rules (no cameras, no video, adhere to rolling cues). I think we saw filming 5 or 6 days total.
Gods, I miss going places just carefree.
I was an extra in a Kenny Rogers movie once. I asked my brother and his wife to come in from out of town and go to the premiere with me. And they did and my scene was completely cut out. Wait, I was an extra in a Kenny Rogers movie as well but the story I just told was about a movie that I think was called The Bear and Gary Busey was in it and my scene was totally cut out.
Were you cut out of both a Kenny Rogers movie and a Gary Busey movie? That’s a shame and what crap luck! When I was I think a freshman or sophomore in high school one of the snobby popular kids spent a holiday break with his uncle in CA who happened to work on Beverly Hills 90210. He told EVERYONE he got a small part in one upcoming episode. He bragged about it endlessly. Even got the school to host this at night viewing party when it was supposed to air for students. The local newspaper came. And when we all watched it, HIS PART WAS CUT! I’ve never forgotten that incident.
I don’t really remember the Kenny Rogers movie. I do remember the Gary Busey movie because it was really humiliating for me to invite my brother and wife because they were very uppity and I wanted to impress them. Then we saw the movie and the prom scene was not there. Also the extras worked an ICREDIBLY LONG day and were treated like shit. They did the whole hair, makeup wardordle shit and after that we were never allowed to eat or drink again. IT WAS A VERY LONG DAY. And my scene was a prom scene so we were all in formal attire and told not to sit down. FOR LIKE A MILLION HOURS. If you ever think it would be fun to be an extra in a movie… JUST SAY NO. The other time I was in one was not wit an agent it was just people filling the stands and signing a release. MUCH more fun and I was in a local bar with all the actors including Kenny Rogers. I mean yeah, I get that is not very exciting but I was not even old enough to drink. 🙂
That sounds like a nightmare. I think it might depend on the movie and the production crew. People around here were SHITTING THEMSELVES to get to every casting call for extras for the Tom Holland movie and gushing about it all over social media every time any of them made it. The production crew did seem really nice, but I can imagine certain circumstances would be shit for any non cast on anything.
Here in Texas we eat a lot of Bluebell ice cream made in Brenham TX. My favorite flavor is anything with chunks of brownie
Bluebell is sooo good but it does bad things to my stomach. I could eat a whole gallon of the banana pudding flavor!!!
I don’t feel good.
Oh love. I hope you are ok soon. I always want to give my cell number. But I remind myself and remember things you say. Never ever. Never ever. Love you TT.
Miss T,
I’m truly worried about you. I don’t think you need to be tested because you will just be exposed to more variants of the virus. Just assume you have it and treat your symptoms. If you have a doc that will call in a z- pak( antibiotics) a tapering course of steroids, a cough remedy and a decongestant to a pharmacy that delivers that’s what you should fo. If you DON’T, please contact me via my email. The steroids are for reducing immflamuation. You are exhausted and will need to let yourself rest as much as you can. Drink waters and Gatorade to stay hydrated. Eat eggs, grits, cereal, just anything you can keep down and be actually strong enough to prepare.
Keep me us posted when you can . Love ya darling.
My favourite ice cream is on a stick and called a Golden Gaytime, I think they’re only in Australia but a quick google tells me they’re similar to a Good Humor Chocolate Eclair. I love the crunch on the outside.
I think there is nothing better than really REALLY great/excellent Vanilla Bean. Poor thing is so underrated. 🙁
I’m so sorry that you are not feeling good.
I also can’t get into Salt Lake. The only one I like at all is Heather. Madison is awful. I’ve thought so all along. The worst thing to happen to that show was losing Chelsea and not trying to find someone more like her to cast.
Favorite ice cream is chocolate peanut butter by Hagen Das.
Favorite crazy…
I’ve always been around creative people, seem to attract them like a beacon. Truly creative people do not see the world like us mere mortals. If you could step inside their head space, it would be a riot of color and sounds and you could spend days trying to distinguish between them. They are very complicated and beautiful people and I LOVE them.
I am only on FB and found the “hide for 30 days” button. There are people on my FB that I placed in “nap time”. I had a few people who were so upset they’re hoping states are going to leave the Union. Ok, you need a nap.
I myself am still feeling joyful and full of renewed interest in what’s happening in our country… but I get how others are feeling. It’s the same feeling you have leaving a toxic relationship. You get used to always being ready to fight. You live in a state of hyperawareness, scared and in survival mode. Once you don’t need to, you’re physically exhausted.
I did not understand what was going on with the alfa/beta fight. When madison said she was an alpha was that code for c u next Tuesday??? who would want to be with her?
Shep seemed happy. craig conveniently became woke. Who was Troy? Austen is lucky to be rid of Madison and who cares if he got laid at a party you psycho Madison? black model — don’t you realize you are only on camera because you are black? Leva we know you are here to avenge Cameron don’t bother lying about it. Lastly Kathryn why pull the pregnancy test shtick again? we know you’re not pregnant don’t you realize this airs 6 months after filming?
The alpha/beta shit was irritating. (And Madison is a serious bitch, not a powerful Alpha.
Just a jerk. But, Please world – don’t let calling people a BETA become a thing. In college – Betas were good looking assholes from Beta Chi. Oh well. Years ago I was at NY apparel mart – and everyone was adding – RIGHT?? To the end of a sentence. It tweaked my nerves for 3 days and I came home saying please please please don’t be in my state. But, it was on TV – so its a thing. I think its dying out – RIGHT???
Had to look it up because beta can have different meanings (I always think of a fish, but I think that’s spelled Betta). Anyway, it’s slang for a weak, subservient, passive, effeminate man. As “dumb” as Ms. C U Next Tuesday is (the look on her face when Andy asked her a question on WWHL said it all), she’s a savant when it comes to being vicious.
I feel like I need to watch the SC finale again- there was so much going on it was chaotic (and I was half asleep). What seemed to dominate was Madison’s horrific bitchiness and Kathryn’s complete inability to deal with anything. She goes all “helpless baby/victim”- her voice actually changes. She’s never owned anything, ever. I’ve always found her to be a weird combination of conniving and pathetic.
That said, the “intervention” staged by the coven of self righteous bitches did absolutely nothing- nobody in the history of ever was changed by this kind of tactic. And the pregnancy test in the last scene- give me a fucking break. That seemed totally staged and either meant to create “sympathy” for her (and deflect from the larger issue of her racially obtuse stupidity), or, meant to solidify her image of a dumb ass who can’t figure out birth control (or both). I used to have some empathy for Kathryn, but her stupidity combined with her stubbornness is wearing thin. She can’t grow up to save her life.
My current favorite ice cream is Kroger’s Private Selection brand favor Fudge Moose Tracks Extreme. Delicious!
i love dulce latte from haagen dass, but prefer (green) apple sorbet by wittamer
Yum, apple sorbet.
oh and fior di latte
Sorry I just need to vent,since this does involve my hubby’s moron (freudian slip) mormon family. My FIL has covid and hes 95. So my SIL takes care of them, whole house was infected, not even going to discuss how pissed I am that multiple maskless people have been in and out of the house. She figured they were day 6, so almost home free, not so. He sounded like crap, was shaking, his SpO2 was 92%. I told hubby, he needs to see a doctor now. Here she is, really, it’s not that bad! At any rate, she took him to the hospital, diagnosed with mild pneumonia, gave him steroids, drugs, antibiotics. Now if she have been in charge of care he could have died from this, thinking, he just needed O2. I’m about ready to lose it on her. She took on this role of caregiver and thinks it’s just a let me check on you every once in a while. Thankyou all for my vent time….I prefer unsophisticatd flavors. The best cotton candy thrifty ice cream!
At 6am this morning, lost my father in law to COVID.
He was my champion & rock when his son passed suddenly last March & tho I don’t pray much…my hope was my husband was there to greet him when he crossed.
It’s a real illness – and my family is devastated. Thankful my sister in law was able to be with him and didn’t pass alone. ?
Oh Luluc! I am so very sorry for your losses. ? I will be praying for you and your family. And praying that you can be a comfort to each other during this difficult transition.
Thank you .
Am resilient, never cry in public – poor upbringing, I guess..
I cry alone, to my dogs ~. They know.
Grief is so individual, think Nanette suggested I write a real widows book.
I might, , the aftermath is huge…..but tonight, wine.
Appreciate me skipping through/paid funeral arrangements & know more ice cream wants., xo
Oh I am so glad you have dogs. Banjo is the best thing that ever happened to me. There is not a ton of physical affection, because he’s a huge smelly dog. (He would tell you I don’t smell so great myself). But we can’t be out of the same room, and he worries about me when I am not doing well.
My deepest sympathy.
A book sounds like a wonderful idea, cathartic. A way to honor the memories and process the grief too.
Thank you Krista.
Have been compiling my husbands journals – we really had an amazing relationship & love reading his view of our life & travels.
It’s really the aftermath of a sudden passing, felt like I’ve not been able to grieve properly due to the onslaught of legal & financial issues.
Probate. Taxes, Insurance, can go on.
So much information, my head spins most days – I wish I had a check list, of what to expect and prepare for. Think that’s where I’m headed, along with so many funny stories over a 25yr marriage.
My husband would literally be sick if I wrote morosely – he was a character, and when it’s dark at night – crying to my pups ….I can hear his girl like laughter & that’s the time to get my shit together and have hope for a few hrs of sleep.
Oh Luluc- my heart aches for you- so much loss in such a short time. I’d read this before I went out for a walk and was saying a prayer for you as I walked. Just take care of yourself dear (whatever that looks like for you). Just so sad for you….
Chocolate peanut butter is forever my favorite. Usually I just buy regular chocolate and add a spoon full of peanut butter to it and bananas.
Right now my brand of crazy is what I can only assume is pre menopause. Any tips/advice on supplements from anyone who’s been here? Please feel better TT. Cookie dough. I’m basic like that.
Menopause? I don’t use hormones but my gyne just gave me some premarin to shove up myself since I apparently have a “dry vagina” so they can’t get a good read for a pap smear. I haven’t used it yet but I have to use it for 2 weeks before I go back… My girlfriend told me to use the rabbit but for god sake, does EVERYTHING get dry when you get older? It makes me laugh. And some company used to make this hot flash tea that worked but discontinued it… it had a funny name too. I find that yoga works REALLY well. I’m also on an SSRI and that is supposed to help tremendously with symptoms. All I really have is nighttime sweating…. MY GOD! I just keep spare tshirts next to the bed and change them out. Also have a fan but I only use it for white noise… Ice Cream? Chocolate Peanut Butter. TT, I had the same kind of strange cold/flu thing last month. Eyeball hurting, etc. I thought I had covid but it’s just some strange thing. It went away. Just eat soup and sleep!!
Right now just skipping periods and living in a constant state of hormonal pms. You’re right, yoga makes me feel normal but, as soon as I’m done I’m back to a hormonal nightmare. I keep having to remind myself not to be crazy. It’s sucks! I’m sorry you’re dealing with it too.
I had some success taking SAM-e supplements. In fact, I should probably be back on those. You’re not going to be tiptoeing through the daisies singing happy songs. But you might bathe regularly and get of the couch or out of the bed more more than just drinking, eating, and trips to the bathroom.
I’ll try them. Thank you!! Getting out of bed and showering would be good… I’ll have to think about it after I drink my hangover away. I did yoga yesterday, so at least there’s that.
Since we’re talking menopause, I think Tamara said it before that we don’t get warned. I had awful mood swings and heavy periods and night sweats. It gets better.
Apparently I’m someone who sleeps with their eyes open and wakes up with eye pain. I manage to lift an eyelid when I’m on my side and it hurts.
I’ve done the open eye on my pillow thing before. It’s awful. So sore.
Tamara—I am pretty sure you can order a duplicate driver’s license online.
I hope you are better soon!
My favorite is Dairy Queen Blizzard. I love to put both Heath and Butterfinger in it.
My family will do homemade ice cream. That’s just amazing also. ?
My parents and I had COVID-19 during Thanksgiving. That wasn’t fun. I have asthma and other health issues so I slept a lot and used my nebulizer more than ever. My mom was pretty bad also. My dad, on the other hand, was fine after a couple of days. He was so bored that he revarnished our front doors. My mom and I have residual asthma issues. I am still tired all of the time and having some hair loss in. My mom has the Covid fog.
TT I hope you feel better soon so.
It can happen to us all us all.
Be safe, former community ❤️
