Sorry guys I have some kind of a head cold and am not feeling well today. Not Covid. Just my nose is stopped up, my lungs feel congested and I just want to sleep and take a day off as much as that is possible. But here is the news of the day…

Tom Girardi has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Personally, I am not buying it. I have been napping through the Derek Chauvin trial today because I am a huge trial junkie. I have a bit of an attorney fetish. So when a man I meet is an attorney, I’m already all in. I really like Chauvin’s attorney. Something about him radiates “good person” despite his shitty client and I hope that doesn’t affect the jury. So of course, I really respected Tom and sort of discarded information people sent me. All that said he looks guilty as hell.

Don Juan is apparently straight? Who knew? There are maybe five straight men in all of Atlanta.

Prince William seems to want to open communication with Prince Harry.

Kanye West has changed his phone number so Kim can’t call him? Did I get that right?

If you are not following https://twitter.com/georgehahn on Twitter you are doing it wrong.

In my opinion, Jen Shah is a CUNT. People are asking if I got a cease and desist, an frankly I have bee sleeping most of the day. But her cease and desist is laughable. She’s a horrible person.

If you are on Twitter please follow me here. Twitter is my happy place. I talk to all my friend thre. I am a bit under the weather. I hope to be back up to snuff tomorrow. I just  need to take the pressure off today and sleep a lot. I am grateful that there is nothing I must recap tonight. I need to go back to sleep…

    No worries, TT. Honestly, I’m also feeling kinda overwhelmed today. Now that I got my work done for the week, I just want to catch up on HBO Max and maybe some Netflix tonight.

    I’m enjoying some Verdejo wine from Spain. It’s kinda like Reisling, but with a much smoother flavor that’s not too sweet, not to dry, and with just the right herbal notes.

    Must be something going around other than covid. I’ve been dealing with sore throat and cough and fatigue so went to doc today. Covid neg, yippee, but got meds for my bronchitis.

    Feel better TT! I’m not buying Tom’s convenient dementia either

          Kaylon is the white friendly of Antoinette. She is not coming off very well.

          The husband is awful! However…it seems Marie moves on fast. The “Daddy” husband (I think his name is Glenn) is interesting to say the least. I really like all the ladies and like to see these successful women.

      I agree so much- these shows are so great- they give us the drama of relationships that we used to love about the Real Housewives (before they went to scripted trash), but these are real, authentic people and situations. Carlos King is hitting just the right note with these shows. I’m glued to OWN of Friday and Saturday nights! Carlos King rocks!

    Love and Marriage Huntsville? That sounds like rubbish I would love!!!

    Is anything else watching Sister Wives? I’m becoming more and more angry at Cody making them leave that great setup in Vegas. He said it would be cheaper but it’s not. And they’ve been there a couple of years with no houses built. Those women could do so much better. And his hair is just awful.

      I watch that. I realize I watch too much tv! Do you think Christine is really ready to bail or is it just for the show? I think they are all unhappy except for Robin. Janelle seems fine with the arrangement, but Christine wants romance and I think those days are over. Poor Meri though.

        I don’t remember this side of Christine before. It seems like the talk of one house has really set her off. I don’t understand being in plural marriage and being jealous as it seems like sharing your husband is the big thing you signed up for. To me, the idea of one house where the kids and entire family can gather made a lot of sense. If the wives are so worried about seeing the husband leave with another wife (which is just crazy to me), why not design the house so that the 4 entrances are on 4 different sides of the house. There must be a way to manage this. I had a friend who was in a plural marriage. She says it is way more common than we know.

          I agree with everything you’re saying. Christine is pissed off. She is adamant about not wanting the one house. I would think all the benefits of a plural marriage could only be realized by living in one house. I really think the separate houses is a terrible idea for the health of their relationships.

          I bet plural marriage is more common than we know too. It’s pretty fascinating. Seeking Sister Wife is returning.

          Does Mariah get on your nerves? I really like Audrey, but Mariah reminds me too much of Kody. Bleh.

            I think they should do four normal sized homes on their land with a Clubhouse kind of thing in the middle. Kitchen and eating area big enough for everyone where the space belongs to everyone.

            I think Christine is hurt and jealous, but she won’t leave. Did they all grow up with that religion where it was expected? Doing it and being ok are different things. I would not cope knowing my husband even put his hand around the waist of another man, let alone the rest of it.

            I don’t mind Mariah, she was an indulged only child with a miserable mother, she hasn’t tuned out too badly considering.

              Fair enough about Mariah. Good points!

              I like the clubhouse idea. I definitely agree they need more together time and I think the benefit of plural marriage is having a “village” to help raise the children.

              I think everyone but Robin grew up in the polygamous lifestyle.

      He completely screwed his family. Listen.. I’m all for whatever works for you and your family but that was such a horrible move for them and the stress it put on the kids was in godly ..not to mention the wives..And it seems so out of the blue ..they had a nice set up there and Vegas.

    I’m curious as to everyone’s opinion on Erika Jayne being on RHOBH. What is the consensus among the group? I don’t really want her to fail miserably because I always loved her story, but I do sort of feel like her very bad behavior is being rewarded. Just my opinion.

      Oh that makes sense then. I am not normally a person with allergy issues. But I am REALLY affected by weather so I opened all the doors and windows. Perhaps that is it. I am very needy of air. Air on airplanes and I don’t like breathing “reused air” with um, sleeping partners. It’s probably just part of my crazy but when I say, “I need air” I really need all the fucking air I can get. lol.

    I’m not a drinker, but I have been smoking weed every day. Stuck at home, it helps pass the time. Very excited about the CDC pronouncement that fully vaccinated people can gather indoors without masks and HUG again! I am so ready. Full immunity from the Pfizer vaccine as of Tuesday!

    It’s so hard to know what to believe as far as the Girardis are concerned. Tom’s mental competence has been in question for a while considering his age and the fact an attorney with such a stellar reputation suddenly became so negligent, but greed is a possible explanation too. I honestly don’t know.

    All four of my grandparents had dementia or Alzheimers so not believing someone who claims to have it makes my skin crawl, but with their other conduct, it’s the boy who cried wolf at this point with this pair. I don’t know which possibility would be worse.

    Colds are such a pain in the ass right now. Everyone treats you like Typhoid Mary. My son has the sniffles and can’t go back to school without approval from a doctor, but can’t go to a doctor with any recent cold symptoms and we don’t even have any active COVID. Hope you are feeling better soon!

      I think it is highly possible he could have dementia. I am an attorney and I am familiar with cases where people are eventually diagnosed with some sort of dementia, but have hid it effectively for quite a long time. Usually something big comes to light (like a malpractice suit) and the rest of the firm finds out about it well after a lot of damage has been done. Often spouses and support staff prop them up for a long time and the person is still with it enough to hide to some degree what is happening. The person and everyone supporting the person is likely in denial (and rely on them for a check) and they simply do not inform the others in the firm. It becomes even more of an issue if someone is a sole practitioner and there is no one to tell. It is a sad and known issue in the legal community where it is not uncommon to practice until you are pushing 80 or more.

        Look. One might say I have a bit of an attorney fetish. I LOVE attorneys, I am watching the Derik Chauvin trial jury selection like my life depends on in. I love trials. I would/could have been an attorney. But I knew even at that time I didn’t want the responsibility. Due to some childhood trauma I could not be in that situation. I kind of felt that way about teaching. But as it turns out, I could not WAIT to be back with my students again. At one point I wanted to adopt two kids who already had (shitty) parents. I think I have the intellect and the knowledge to be an attorney. But I mostly just wanted to go to law school. But I never wanted the responsibility to practice law. I still want to go to law school. Maybe I should study for the LSAT again?

    TT have you seen that Michael the Butler has a CaringBridge page that’s open to the public? Something juicy I noticed is that posts are being written by Luzanne Otte. I seem to remember a few years back that she was dating T-Rav, but don’t remember the details. (I seem to vaguely recall she & Ashley warring in the press?) Just thought it’s interesting that she apparently still has close ties to Michael. Praying for his recovery.

The first case in medical science history with no warning signals? Just one day? BAM! I don’t remember anything. I call BS and I never liked Erika cuz she always acted like she was better than the others, knew more than the others, had more $ than the others and I am enjoying watching her fall – quite frankly. I’ve been on a Law and Order SVU marathon. I can’t turn them off…. even if I leave to go somewhere I leave it on for the cats….
