I’m trying to do Duolingo to learn Spanish. So far I’ve learned to say Juan eats apples. That should be helpful if I move to Portugal, right? Also I don’t understand how to say “Yo.” When Duolingo says it, it sometimes sounds like “Jo” and sometimes it sounds like “Ho.” I’m reminded of learning Arabic (not really learning) and having the Arabic teacher yank me up by my ear because this little southern girl, with a southern accent could not make any of the guttural sound and the sounds I did make were like Dolly Parton learning to speak Arabic. Le sigh.
Why is it 31 degrees in mid March in the ATL? I don’t think it was this cold in the middle of the day in December! What’s the weather like where you are?
I’m so amused by the handful of haters this week. From the one whole told me my site sucks and she is never coming back. And then I got an email saying she followed my site. LOL. To some commenter in the MAFS thread who says she just can’t read here anymore and explains why by telling me my opinions that are not at all mine. I’ve gone to plenty of sites over the years and some of them sucked. I never felt the need to tell them that. LOL. What’s the point of that. Clearly THEY HAVE NOT READ THE COMMENTING RULES. I remember when I wrote them, TC told me they were too harsh. Do you remember TC? Oh the irony.
Is anyone else watching Love After Lockup? This is a pretty bad season. But, aren’t they all? I don’t know why I watch this show. But I’m watching now. None of them ever believe their criminal is scamming them. They are criminals!
What happened to this day? I had such high hopes for productivity! I guess I better go try to do something productive. Or not. I could really use some clean silverware though… Let sigh.
If you are moving to Portugal you may want to take Portuguese?
Ha! Good Point. I forgot about that part. The initial plan was Costa Rica. Plus I think Spanish is better for traveling. I could end up in Spain. Or Uruguay. But Portugal is the easiest place (but still a bit hard) to get residency. And I imagine they speak Spanish as well being so close to Spain. But this is all seeming like more of a dream at this point due to my health.
I was thinking of Portugal and Uruguay as well, but best to go soon. I don’t know as much about Uruguay. Can you bring Banjo with you?
No he is eighty pounds and he will not be around much longer. However, MOVING is probably more than I can do. It will probably be more like ABANDONING my home.
Hilarious!!!!!!!
What happened to TC? You are a walk in the park compared to TC.
She’s a Trumper. Ditto Trho. 🙁
The fuck??
Tracy Braxton died
Yeah I saw that too. I follow a lot of Entertainment News sites and it seems like everyone is dying. I follow a lot of news sites and same. I follow local news and there are so many kids getting shot. I follow International News and well… WW3 is not out of the realm of possibility. I get emails about all of these things and it is very depressing. 🙁
My brother has been a missionary for 30 years. He went to Poland last week for crisis intervention. I’m terrified. But they lived in Belarus and had to learn Russian. I think it’s as hard as Arabic. At least it sounds like it to me! We got 6 inches of snow Friday night after it was 65 Friday. This weather……… I can’t imagine someone having the balls to tell you that your site sucked. Just for the record, I only read other sites that you link, never to return! I’ve read your site since the housewives started and there is no better site! Prayers for my brother if you you don’t mind!! Happy Sunday!!!
Your brother will be just fine in Poland. Oddly I was just watching the news in Poland and thinking how kind and gracious the Poles and being to the refugees. Despite all the horrific things happening. There are way more kind people like your brother.
Thank you
When we went to Poland in 2000, the Polish people were so gracious to Americans. They were so excited about the first chance to vote since WWII. Having a Polish Pope helped push that agenda.
I doubt that Putin wants to take on the Vatican in addition to NATO. The Poles have suffered enough from war. The Nazis were monsters and the Russians little better.
He should not
Who did you go to Poland with and why Poland?
I haven’t watched all of the LAL shows, but one of the prisoners came out with a huge prison tattoo of his “girlfriend” on his side. Because she is “always on his side.” Dear Lord.
I watch love after lock up, altho it sucks this time around. Not sure why I bother. Except out of boredom maybe.
I watch all the LAL shows but they are getting hard to keep straight will all the spin offs etc.. Love all your recaps, thank you!
I can help you with your Spanish and Portuguese when you finally allow me to come purge for you :). Went to Home Depot, lowes and pikes today for some cheater veggies but everything had already been bitten by the frost so I’ll have to wait again. If you make the move to Portugal I have family (distant now) in the Azores so at least I can point you to island living too
You don’t understand my situation. I need help CLEANING. Purging isn’t going to happen until I decide to move. Then you can come help me with the massive yard sale. 🙂 Plus it wasn’t very successful the last time.
I know but you make it sound packed and a good drop clean often involves a healthy purge. I’m not trying to freak you out, this is something I am good at and enjoy. If we get it clean it enough I could even take you to my labeled and organized happy place. 🙂 the offer will stand.
I’m so sorry, I think I thought you needed purging as well. I apologize. I tried, but one day (not even) wasn’t a reasonable amount of time and I feel badly now. It was totally my fault not understanding the assignment-
Well I thought that the cleaning situation was rather obvious. LOL. I was just about to tell Kendra that you tried to purge my lighters and duct tape. I FINALLY FOUND THE LAST ROLL OF DUCT TAPE. And I’m glad you didn’t find my secret stash of lighters on top of the refrigerator! I’m fine with purging. But for my mental health CLEANING needs to happen first. And PURGING will require a garage sale. And I can’t do that as one person. Someone needs to be outside at all times. It would require card table or something, and I am a VERY LONG WAY from being ready for that.
That said. YOU GOT RID OF A DEAD RAT. I doubt Kendra would do that for me, and I am forever grateful.
Ha! I’ve got 4 kids and three cats. Mice/rats are easy. But I’ve already offered child labor for the yard sale. She works for food and freedom.
Cool, we good.
I just woke up to eat tge dinner Cindy cokked — at 4:15p.m. I took a whole sleeping pill. Yesterday was one month since our dogs died and it was a very bad day.
When I was killing time, I was watching Beat Bobby Flay, which had competitor Chef James Briscione. He has written four cookbooks. When I looked them up on Smile Amazon, I about DIED LAUGHING when I saw the cover of “Flavor Matrix,” because the cover photos is … wait for it … OYSTER AND POMEGRANATE! Bwahahahaha! I guess Rocky was on to something!
Also: Shannon’s “horrible” fish and cheese is Salmon & Cream Cheese … as in Lox and Cream Cheese … a classic combo. I may need to try it.
God. I can’t believe it has been a whole month. I’m sorry for not being more supportive. It’s just I feel helpless because it’s about to happen to me. And I’m not going to want to talk to anyone about it. There is nothing to make this better. 🙁
Lox sounds disgusting. I will forever be anti fish and cheese. I love both, but separately. I wish I had salmon in the freezer. I haven’t bought any in a while. I still have to sort of force feed myself. I don’t know what the deal is but sometimes when I am chewing I can’t seem to signal my brain to swallow. Yes, I know how weird that sounds. I’m never hungry. Today I finally made coffee which is good. Because I am a cream and sugar person but I never buy milk. I buy the protein shakes and use them instead So I got some protein today! YAY! I was feeling very industrious today. And then somehow it’s 8 pm.
I always have canned milk. It started because we started drinking coffee with my French grandma. She made strong coffee, but added TONS of milk and sugar. It was like melted coffee ice cream. At our family holidays, we all drink coffee with canned milk. Cindy is the only one who adds sugar. I can go without a trip to the store because … canned milk.
One of your advertisers has a “Send Soup” kit with rolls and cookies too! It sounds good. Southern … something. It’ll pop up again.
I randomly bought a can of evaporated milk and used that at first. But I really need he protein in protein shakes And I really need the protein. I also don’t drink coffee as much as I should.
I rarely, rarely comment but love your site. I drink nothing but evaporated milk in my coffee. I’m in Mobile and we got 2” of snow Mar. 13, 1993 and ruined our beautiful azaleas. Of course us Southerners don’t know how to drive in the snow and EVERYTHING shuts down here when it does.
Hugs to you and Banjo💖
I’m kinda devastated by the Azaleas. 🙁 I don’t have any. My daffodils were done and the Irises I haven’t checked on since the deep freeze. That would require me going out into the world. Or, you know step out on the front porch, LOL. I have another thing blooming but my Covid Brain can’t remember the name.
Lawn Kid came buy and cleaned out my beds. I need to TRY REALLY HARD to go get some tomato plants and peppers. But, I can’t even get to Publix. And Banjo has been out of dog food for a few days now. He loves it because he gets rice and beans But I feel awful.
Weather here sucks. Currently 17 and blowing snow. Yuck! I watched basketball most of the day but just watched ABC News and they had a little 11yo boy who went by himself out of Ukraine and his mother (who’s left behind caring for an elderly parent) said how kind the border patrol in Slovakia was holding his hand and helping him over the border and getting him food. So now I’m crying in front of the TV.
Sorry to hear about a rude commenter. My resolution this year is not to argue with strangers on the internet, but damn some make it hard! It’s akin to walking up to someone and telling them they look like crap. Why do people feel the need?
No LAL here, one of my bff’s tells me I should watch but my brain is already rotted from all the housewives. Thinking I’ll try the Tyler Henry psychic show on Netflix tonight.
Everyone stay safe and hug your loved ones be they human or not! Life is too short
Oh that reminds me, if you are a night owl like me, you kind of come to the end of CNN reporting because they repeat stuff. So I clicked to MSNBC a channel I generally only watch during elections because of the guy in the khaki pants who has all the diagrams and stuff. LOL. Anyway at a certain point in the night they air SKY NEWS (British) live instead. So that was fine until, I think it was Al Fucking Sharpton acting like a newscaster. WTF? That’s a no for me dawg. I’m trying not to watch and cry and have anxiety too much.
And don’t listen to your BFF. LAL sucks. I’ve recorded it for several seasons because in the beginning it was new. But now it is the same old mistakes over and over.
Oh and as for the haters. That is every day. I’m fine when y’all bitch about my recaps or whatever but when it is your FIRST POST, that’s on you. I thought it was funny that some bitch is telling me my site sucks and she is leaving forever and then FOLLOWS MY SITE. I’m notified of the follows. ROFLMAO. She can still read but cannot comment.
Then the one today who said she just couldn’t read here and the reasons were my opinions that she listed that were not my opinions at all. That cracked me up too. But I get first time commenter hate all the time. It’s funny to me. But then following me after the whole your site sucks and is full of typos? That was my favorite thing ever! The haters give me the most views!
I think the MSNBC election guy is Steve Kornacki. I love watching him too. MSNBC started airing Sky News I want to say this week? I have no use for Al Sharpton. He is one person, so no he does not represent what the entire black community thinks/feels. Also his motives at times come across as disingenuous
WHY IN THE HOLY HELL WOULD WHAT I THINK IS A DECENT NEWS STATION MAKE AL FUCKING SHARPTON A “NEWS REPORTER” When He was on my TV screen AS A NEWS PERSON I was blown away. WTF does he know about Urkraine. He’s an racial discrimination animal chaser who can barely speak English!
I wish I had an answer to your question. I’ve never considered him a “News Reporter”. And usually turn the channel when he appears on my TV Screen. Always has bothered me that he claims to be speaking for the Black Community. No Mr. Sharpton. No you are not
If I woke up in the middle of the night and saw Al Sharpton as a newscaster, I either would have thought it was a dark comedy or a nightmare.
I don’t watch MSNBC that often, but I was like, WTF? Is that Al Sharpton? Maybe he just LOOKS like Al Sharpton, because you know I am bad at faces. But it was totally him. WTMF?
It’s 11 degrees and snowing where I live. I’m over it!
Probably my favorite one night stand in my life was with a Yooper. Y’all are so polite!
I remember TC, and how people thought you were her to be mean to them under a pseudonym lol.
I’m glad the days are lasting a little longer. I have just been working and waiting. Sorry I can’t say much more, but I do read often. Miss you all and look forward to when I can say more.
Hey girl Hey! That day will come soon. You’re almost to the finish line. Longer days will help me a lot too. But now it is 29 degrees! That’s probably warm for all you damn Yankees. 🙂 But I’m not happy. IT’S MARCH! IN ATLANTA!
Hi Jenn! I hope you are doing better. And your mom too.
I am about to open my crock pot and grub on my pot roast that has been cooking all day. I am so excited, I add a can of French onion soup to make extra beefy.
What about that Snatch Game?! Should make for an exciting episode next week.
I knew I forgot something. WORST.SNATCH.GAME.EVER! I was so excited for the episode… and then. Even the person who won was not THAT great but way better than everyone else. What happened? Should they have rehearsed for this before even coming on the show? So disappointing.
Who are you rooting for? I’m a Jorgeous fan and the other one that she lip synced against last week. (I’m terrible with names) and with my facial recognition issues it’s hard for me to keep them straight in and out of drag if that makes sense.
I feel like the reason no one went home last week is because Match Game is played during final eight. So it really should have been last season. Now, for production purposes, I think two will go next week.
P.S. I couldn’t remember the bitches name that one of them was, So I Googled “crappy lady in charge of education under Trump.” And Betsy Devos came right up. I forget who chose her but if that had been done correctly… so much potential. Le sigh.
I knew you were a Jouregous fan! She is a mini Valentina that can dance. I really like Willow. All the characters were good, but no one was really in character.
I am over Jasmine and Daya both.
No one will ever come close to Valentina. She’s the greatest of all time! But, I am pulling for Jorgeous.
Watching Drag Race always makes me miss The Lady Cocotte. 🙁
My favorite part is when everyone is getting ready in the work room and we get to hear about their lives. It always makes me cry. But I always feel like I learn something about someone who has had different experiences in life than I have had. I feel like it makes me a better human being.
I saw a cute meme the other day that said to find out your drag name take the name of your grandmother and the last sweet thing you ate…..mine would be Elsie Edible!
Love Willow too and am totally over jealous, bitter Daya!
One of my all time favorites was Ben de la Creme. I thought he was gorgeous, campy, witty, funny — all of the great drag qualities. Still mad he sent himself home.
Snatch Game was sad this year.
Cannot go off on a Betsy DeVos rant since we sprang forward. Too much to say about that moron as a teacher and would need that damned hour they just stole.
I just placed an order for $102.00 worth of groceries for delivery between 7 & 9 pm tonight. I figured if I went to the grocery store I’d spend closer to $200 so I was better off just going through and getting what I need instead of walking up & down every aisle in the store & buying things I want but don’t need. Yesterday I was craving a pastrami sandwich . . . thought about it all day and couldn’t wait to order one from Jason’s Deli. Went on line, placed an order for a pastrami on rye with yellow mustard and a side of potato salad. Tab came to $13.68. Got to the checkout portion and was informed they don’t deliver for orders under $25 & Door Dash would be the delivery service. That would have brought my total up to over $50. Decided not to order and I’m still craving a pastrami sandwich. Life sucks when you don’t drive, lol.
The weather in Vegas was close to 70 today and finally no 40-50mph winds so it was a nice day. I just have to remember to change the clocks tonight.
I’m always wanting any kind of sandwich. Single people don’t buy the stuff for sandwiches because it would also cost a shit ton for one sandwich. Plus, I don’t make good sandwiches. Panera is outside THE ZONE OF COMFORT. And I have already forgotten the overpriced sandwich I used to buy there. But I would definitely eat one if I had one. It might take a couple of days, but I’d enjoy it.
Also, I never changed my clocks.
Panera discontinued one of THE best chicken spicy Thai salads they’ve ever had on their salad menu – I have farted once a day in their general direction ever since they took away one of the few salad pleasures I have had going in my life. May the salad gods strike Panera down.
Haha good Python reference!
Panera makes a good steak & white cheddar sandwich, and their chipotle chicken avocado melt is yum too😋
Our Panera disappeared during the early pandemic. Luckily, there is a Chipotle next door. Our Sprout’s (similar to Trader Joe’s) has GIANT sandwiches for $4.99 and Boar’s Head sandwiches for $5.99. Someone in “production” just realized that no one was charging extra for adding avocado. Still only 50 cents more for half an avocado when they sell for $1.50-3.00 each!
As you said, single people don’t buy sandwich stuff. We never have bread here. But for my dog’s last weeks, I gave her everything she loved, including sourdough bread. She became obsessed with sourdough. We got sourdough from the food bank and she built a staircase to the top shelf, then pushed it all back so I wouldn’t figure it out. She are ENTIRE loaves, only sourdough. Took a bite of the others, and patooed them on the floor. I love sourdough too, we liked the same things.
Now the other week, hubby and I wanted a Turkey, ham, provolone on a good baguette. So the sandwich place we order from wanted 40 bucks for 2 subs, so for us it was way cheaper to make em.
I know I sound like a broken record here, but I cannot emphasize enough how much I really loved that spicy chicken Thai salad – even the Thai dressing was delicious and spicy hot. Plus, those roasted carrots and red peppers AND the edename – just my version of a delicious salad. It’s just one more “thing” in a series of “JillyAnne likes this, so let’s discontinue it for her” – first, Snapple Goji berry fruit punch – gone, then, Milton’s Bread Company altered the recipe for their multigrain bread, which used to make what we normally called “World’s Best Toast”, to where now it tastes like you’re eating bread made of very dry sawdust. 3) Snapple comes out with a low sugar all natural fruit concentrate Grapeade – I made slushies in the freezer out of them – now discontinued. Finally, Panera discontinues my favorite salad. If I were more conspiratorial in nature, I would be 100% convinced this is an outright plot to make my life as miserable as possible – LOL!! Bitter, party of one – yep, that’s me. There is so little in life I can enjoy at this point at my age as it is.
Sorry not sure why this went to moderation.
I am 100% with you on the Milton’s bread thing! Only that I didn’t realize they altered the recipe. I just noticed that they stopped using the extra layer of cellophane to wrap the bread, so I just thought it was always stale. UGH so disappointing either way. It was the best bread EVER and now it’s poo.
You’re right about the cost of making sandwiches at home when you live alone. I order from Capriotti’s every once-in-a-while (there’s one right near my office). One of their sandwiches is 2 meals for me.
I use a clock radio to wake me in the morning for work so that has to be changed. The only other clocks I change are the ones on my microwave and oven. The wall clocks never get changed & my dvr & computer change automatically so I don’t have to bother with them.
Oh, and my grocery order got delivered at 8:30 minus the item I needed most — chicken breasts that I cook for my dog. I called customer service and they’re going to refund the cost of the chicken in 3-5 business days. Now I still have to go to the store to buy chicken.
Oh y’all I forgot to tell you about Cynthia Bailey’s first Lifetime Movie coming on tonight. I taped it so I am a starting it now. It’s called Cruel Instruction. Cynthia is the mother of a child send to a residential treatment center from hell. Is this Cynthia’s first acting role? I was shocked when CBB said she was an “actress.” I don’t think her role will be that big because it is all about the treatment center and it’s kinda of a scary movie I’m not sure I want to watch. But here I go.
Okay, this is based on a true story I think and I am already infuriated as a teacher. And I am four minutes in. There are so many things teachers can do for dyslexia and no one at my school would listen to the Nationally Certified reading teacher. Or had any compassion for kids acting out. Or did anything to stop bullying. Let me shut up.
In my day, dyslexic kids were considered “slow.” In FIRST GRADE, I KNEW one of our neighbors was smart. He just couldn’t read. Now we know why. They were shuffled aside and essentially abandoned back then. Cindy was one.
In my day, dyslexic kids were considered “slow.” In FIRST GRADE, I KNEW one of our neighbors was smart. He just couldn’t read. Now we know why. They were shuffled aside and essentially abandoned back then. They were called dumb by the teachers. It was awful. Cindy was one of those kids.
It’s far from a solution for Dyslexia. However, simply giving a child a colored note card to keep their place helps a lot. Cutting one out to only show one line at a time helps even more.
They will let ANYONE be a teacher in some places.
its snowing AGAIN in Ontario, Canada
a few days ago it was spring and we were raking up gravel off the yard
and now piles of snow
as a teacher, what did u think of ebonics? I think its just ghetto talk
Many moons ago, I used to be on a very large website where I made many friends, like we do here. One year on December 29th or 30th, a handful of us decided to meet up in Toronto. I booked a flight the night before and soon found out that was a red flag for security when I landed in Toronto. Even thought I know some of your real names through emails, I tend to think of everyone I meet online by their real names. This was before social media was a huge thing. Now I find it really hard to remember who is who on Twitter, my site, my emails and their real name.
So I landed in Toronto like either on NYE or the day before. I have a LOT of preconceived notions based on my online experiences about how lovely Canadians are. I like to tease that you all live in Igloos because I’m from a hot climate. I playfully call you Canookians. I once said that a Canadian Mafia was hysterical to me because all Canadians are so nice. This seemed to upset the Canadian Mafia. So anyway, I arrived in lovely Canada where everyone is kind and loves everyone only to be interrogated by the customs official who wanted to know why I booked my flight so late, who I was meeting and what address I would be staying at. I literally could not think of her name because I go by people’s screen names. I did not know her address. I was just in a state of shock that I was being shook down by Canadian customs. He was not a nice Canadian! LOL. So I told him I was was an Internet friend like that was a reasonable thing to say. I also said I don’t know her address because she is picking me up but that she would vouch for me because she is out there waiting for me. This was A LONG time ago. He finally let me through. Anyway, my memory was peaked because IT WAS SO COLD THERE I WAS AFRAID. My Canadian host was like this is the coldest I have ever been. The news was like DON’T EVEN GO OUTSIDE FOR MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES! She didn’t have a car so we had to walk to the booze store that was just like 3 or 4 block away and there was a mountie? Dudley Do Right? Cop? I dunno with a GUN. IN CANADA inside the liquor store. I had a great time and met a hot guy and everything but Canada was nothing like I thought. We took the metro and there was a guy with a weird and scary pet. I forget what. My friend had to work one day and I wandered around in coat with no buttons that was more of a blanket coat if that makes any sense and one of the other people in the group offered to buy me a coat because I “looked like a homeless person.” I struggled to do simple things like check out at a store. I was just shocked to see how different it was than I thought. Milk in bags?
I don’t know why I am telling this story or why this comment went to moderation but I’m just shut up and go back to the movie now. LOL.
WE LOVE YOUR STORIES!!!! I just googled SNL (because I’m at work) and they were parodying Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingram’s coverage of Ukraine, not the situation itself. Please do not stop sharing your stories!!!
Hola, TT! Como estas?
It’s cold and very blustery here tonight, but it will be in the 50’s all next week, so I’m looking forward to that.
I’m on a Steve Carrell kick and currently watching Little Miss Sunshine. Last night, I watched Beautiful Boy about a father trying to save his son from drug addiction. It was very well done, but with all that is going on in Ukraine, it is hard to absorb any extra sadness right now.
Buenas Noches!
Juan comes Manzanas!
LOL! Nice job! We always learned these words first: De donde es el? El es de Mexico. (Where is he from? He is from Mexico.) Also, el lapiz, la pluma. (The pencil, the pen.)
Ours was a new approach, using dialog instead of rote (1965)
Pepe: Hola Isobel. Como estas?
Isobel: Bien gracias, y tu?
And my favorites:
Pero no me gusto las albondigas!
And
Pero hay dos chicas aqui!
This Lifetime Movie with Cynthia Bailey is actually very compelling. Sad and horrible but compelling.
How was Cynthia? I’m not sure if I can watch it from Australia.
OMG. That is the best/worst Lifetime Movie ever. And Roseanne’s Barr’s daughter is just like Paris Hilton, daughter of Kathy “Isn’t she so funny” Hilton. I actually worked in an “adolescent treatment center” when I graduated college. A lot of things bad things happened. I could not understand why the cut off the anorexic girls liquids because that was all she would consume. I eventually got fired for being upset when kids were put in five point restraints after physically fighting. I had to monitor them. I was too lenient and accused of all sorts of things. I wasn’t that much older than some of them. Listening to them, especially if it was a male who was especially non compliant got me written up. I worked Christmas and Thanksgiving because I was the young new, (and dumb) person on the site. It was heartbreaking and I was not allowed to give anyone any gifts even if I gave them to everyone. Whether it was the white anorexic girl who they shut off from most beverages because that is all she would ingest, or the black male who…was just insolent. I don’t even recall his diagnosis. But his family abandoned him. I was too close to the patients (That I often had to assist in putting into five point restraints). It was horrible. I get it now. You are not allowed to be kind to the people (or actually in most places the state because their parents abandoned them. The goal was to keep the money coming in. And if you were kind… then you were doing it wrong.
My sibling who told us all never to speak to him or his family again after some um, things happened with a will, could not delay Thanksgiving an hour because I was working. Now he doesn’t even speak to anyone in the family anyway.
Sorry over sharing. But as someone who worked in one of these places this movie made me feel some type of way.
I’m recording it. Cynthia was co-hosting Daily Pop last week (I think) and they showed a clip from the movie. It looked very compelling. Lifetime has upped their game lately with some of the movies they’re showing.
I don’t think I’ve every known anyone with as varied a background as you have.
I’ve been through at lot. And never had anybody ( which is why I am so thankful for you guys). It’s been a strange life. Some of it was GREAT. Who gets to live in Libya and travel the world.? But then coming home to go back to school as “Tamara from Africa” caused a lot of problems in the south… and as a sexually abused child just made things worse. Sorry you should charge by the hour for this.
With a German husband who speaks perfect English, I’m trying to learn German with Duolingo (we agree it would be an awful idea for him to teach me). Milk is Milch and you have to make this weird sound with your throat that I just can’t do!!! My son is learning German at University and gets it all instantly.
My favourite trashy reality shows are 90 Day Fiancé (but I hate the single version), Sister Wives and RH of OC, BH, NY and NJ.
I get it. But in Libya, if you couldn’t make the sound when you are six you got sent to the principal’s office and nothing happened you just had to sit out the class. lol. So I kind of regret voluntarily going to the principal office instead of Arabic class and just sitting there. 🙁 But he was really scary.
Also I am watching SNL right now and they are making jokes about the Ukraine situation and that is pissing me off.
I started to watch SNL, but then stopped because I knew that would happen. I wanted to see Zoe as the host and she was good. The skit about Amazon “grab and go” stores was funny.
I shut it off to see what is happening with Ukraine.
I am disgusted at this crap. How can they make jokes about that? I can’t even.
Yeah. I just turned if off.
I am glad we don’t see SNL in Australia.
I watched a video on Facebook shared by the Drag Race page where Monet Ex Change and Bianca Del Rio broke the latest episode and it was really good. If you need a break, it is a good view.
American here living in Spain the past four years. You need to learn Portuguese for Portugal. Some of the words are similar to Spanish. Yo is prounounced like Jo but not a sharp j
Where do you want to live in Portugal?
It’s been a while since I researched it. I thought I might just go there and explore. Possibly, Porto, but I seem to remember an island of the coast…
Suggestions? Or I could just come live with you. 🙂
Yes!!! TT when are you going to recap LOL??? It’s complete garbage but I watch. What is wrong with Indie???? Can someone explain her? Her mother is a bounty hunter and even with all of the info on whatever dude’s name is she is still pursuing him. Too add his behavior following his release? Doubt he learned anything his temper tantrum shows it. Does he truly understand that he committed a crime? Does Indie know he has to pay over 200k in restitution to the victim? Haven’t even begun to talk about the other train wrecks. Will be an interesting season!
What is interesting about the show like 90 day fiance. The ones that are pursuing are the bad ones.
what got me was that 23 year old boyfriend of hers has at least 2 other girlfriends and indie chooses to go with denial, that love will conquer all. that’s just willful delusion. so many of the women have a plan and they work so hard/are blind to make the men fit into/follow the women’s plan for marriage, home, and children.
It’s sickening when they have their kids call them Dad!!! WtF
The was a season, probably the first that was sort of “good” and now it is just sheer stupidity. But my DVR never fails to record it and I turn it on on the weekends as background noise. I don’t know any of their names. The re occuring theme this season appears to be people fucking up just days before their release and having their sentences lengthened.
And did that one guy say that his mark has been waiting on him for THIRTEEN YEARS?
yep. he was in for gun running. he’s a catch alright!
So they were together then and she has been waiting for him from the time of arrest and all the thirteen years? WHO DOES THAT?
She wasn’t faithful to him. He is delusional to believe it too.
I like LAL too but this season is just all crappy people so far. Has anyone watched THE THING ABOUT PAM? i think it is a 3 part only but I really liked that little change of pace. Not keeping up with the actual HE+W shows lately but always come here to read anyway. TT site saw me thru some of my hardest days and will always be special to my heart.
The way they’ve done The Thing About Pam Is intriguing— it’s almost campy, including the narration by Keith Morrison. Renee Zelwegger is great. Pam is a monster. A greedy, evil monster. I bet that was a fun role.
What channel is it on?
Tuesday nights @ 10:00 on NBC, right after This is Us
Only one episode has aired so far.
I am not familiar with the case or the podcast but I did like the 1st episode.
Wendy & DJ Boof posted a pic together on IG. I hope this is a sign that Wendy is getting love and support from people who care about her.
Did he post it or did she? Could have been an old photo. Do you think she is back in NYC? I really hope he is taking care of her. He seems like a true friend to her.
He posted it on his timeline and she reshared on her story.
Thanks. And um, I love your photo. IJS. /swoon
Aw, thanks! ☺️
Is it me or does Kim K have a type? And the type is “mentally ill guys.”

YES! I have thought the same thing but didn’t want to say it. Except Kanye seems very controlling and Pete seems like he lets her take the lead. I wish I could opt out of any news feed with that last name in it. I DON’T CARE what ANY of them are doing.
Life after Death with Tyler Henry is now on Netflix. I binged it over the weekend and it’s really good. I also watched the Dateline episodes of Pam Huff, so will definitely watch Renee Zellweger on “The Thing about Pam.” It’s on NBC. I don’t post much, but enjoy everyone’s insight.
I absolutely loved the Tyler Henry show on Netflix. I cried. Good cry. Necessary cry. Yes.
One more thing…did anyone follow the Sherri Papini kidnapping story back in 2016? She’s now been arrested for making the whole thing up.
Oh my Goodness yes! I thought it was fishy when it was happening and even fishier when she showed up. The bee and channel 3 covered it so extensively that I wondered how other people didn’t have questions. Now seeing what was found they did see it too. Her poor kids.
My RHOSLC is up and I am so happy to wait for the Kandi and the Gang recap and get two hours of American Idol. I’m weird about music. I don’t like it in stores because I get really emotional. I rarely, like almost never listen to it in my house. But I love AI and The Voice. It makes no sense other than l like to see people win.
Shout out as a low key reader/poster.
Duolingo is fantastic and I’ve used it to improve my Spanish.
Go for it!!
Just saw that 90 Day Fiance Ben Rathbun was arrested for drunk driving this morning in Michigan! The wonky eye was truly on display in his mug shot. His ex-wife and kids must be so proud.
UPDATE:
“ Turns out Rathbun’s OUI and suspended license arrest was back in 2020, but he was sentenced in January 2021 to 18 months probation. We’re told Rathbun was scheduled for a probation violation hearing on Feb 7, 2022 … but he did not appear and the judge issued a bench warrant.
We’re told Tuesday’s booking was an arrest stemming from the bench warrant linked to the original OUI case.”
