Open Forum: A Huge Apology And An Excuse

RHONY Recap Sonja Morgan sad face

First the apology. I someone had asked to do the RHOA recap this week and I happily agreed. I was feeling very unwell and I haven’t even watched the show yet. I don’t know why I put up the reverse recap post other than the fact that I can’t remember shit lately. It’s becoming a problem. I am so very sorry to the kind person who offered to recap. I feel terrible about that.

Next, I got some test results back today that are rather scary. I’m not going into details here but I need to take a day or more off to deal with the new information. I am not sure when I will be back. Moderated comments will not be put through during this time. Emails will not be answered. Please, please do not call me. I just need some space.

I know all of this seems a bit dramatic, and it is. But, I need to find some big girl panties around here somewhere and put them on. I’ll miss you guys and hope to see you all very soon. I hope you guys will all keep commenting to each other and keep the site going. It’s just a bit much for me to handle. I hope to be back really soon.

    I just read that Taylor Armstrong who was RHOBH is going to be on RHOOC! Will she be the first one to jump from one to another? I quite liked her and I will be happy to see her back. I hope it’s ok to share this.

      I was glad to see her go the first time. She has issues that are not helped by being on RH.
      In my opinion, these gals will chew her up and spit her out after awhile (starting with Erika and Lisa), which will make her more of a mess. Poor Kennedy has to go through this a second time.
      Tamara, wishing you only the best. Be well.

        You’re probably right but she’s going to OC, not BH. I’m looking forward to seeing Kennedy. Tamra posted nice things about her, so I’m guessing she’s being cast as Tamras offsider.

          Sorry can’t stand Taylor. Won’t be watching OC anymore anyway. BUT, she’s a grifter from Oklahoma and Taylor is not even her real given name, ALLEGEDLY. But one might find picture(s) of her in the yearbook of Broken Arrow HS (Tulsa area) IIRC. In the late eighties or early nineties-can’t remember-with a different name. IJS. Housewives is the new true crime network imo. It’s gonna be another shitshow I predict. No thanks. Can’t line the pockets of the felons by bravo anymore. I’m sticking to recaps. Feel sorry for Kennedy and that Russell stuff was sus to me. Small towns talk A LOT.

            Yes, I saw the yearbook pics and read about the name changes. There’s lots about her in the streets. She allegedly was the driving force behind Russell and allegedly used her maiden name, Ford, to allegedly scam investors. Just do a search asking if she is a grifter and you will get multiple multiple results showing the allegations. Just what Bravo prefers!

        August 2, 2022 at 5:24 pm

        I wish Bravo would quit bringing back housewives they previously got rid of. They got rid of them for a reason.

        I did think Andy was actually funny (for a change) when he announced Taylor coming back, but on OC not BH, that she now lives in OC. He was saying it’s the first time this has been done. Then, he said something like in other news Jill Zarin is buying properties in Potomac, Miami, New Jersey, ATL, OC, Beverly Hills, Salt Lake, and Dubai. He was being shady about how desperate she is to get back on RH.

      Idk if I can take another week of it. RHOBH has really jumped the shark. I’ve gone from loving Kyle to can’t stand her and her hypocrisy. Garcelle & Sutton are the only two I like. Now, the streets are buzzing about Sheree, which she’s just a friend on RHOBH, but her comment to Sutton annoyed me last week anyway and now I’m seeing her on the gram asking people to sow seeds by sending her money like she’s some Joel Osteen wanna be.

        • MelG says

          August 1, 2022 at 7:54 pm

          Go look at her video and her post under it on the gram. Find the video on her account with Sheree in blue framed glasses and a blue dress or blouse that has pink, purple & yellow flowers on it. She is saying to sow seeds and lists her Cash App & Venmo info. It really reminds me of some of the tv televangelists.

              Give to receive. Televangelists get on tv and preach that you have to sow seeds in order to receive blessings. They want you to send them money and say that in return your blessings will be abundant. Sheree is doing a little preaching on videos on her Instagram and in her post under it she’s commenting about people needing to sow seeds and she has her Cash App and Venmo info for people to send her money.

            August 2, 2022 at 2:08 am

            Thanks for the clarification on sew seeds. Never heard that before. She sounds like a scammer especially after I read she’s being accused of selling counterfeit designer purses

    if you, Tamara, are interested, I can recap My Big Fat Fabulous Life. starts on August 10, I think for the last season (season 10). should be lots of drama and the usual Quitney shit show. Let me know if this is something you would want.

    In the past, for this site, I recapped teen Mom and A Celebtrity show with D list houseguests. Cant remember the name.

    I no longer watch the RH series. I do read the recaps, so I’m hoping folks who do watch will help us out with recaps! What I’ll really miss as TT takes her well-deserved break is her blinds and updates. The Purple Pen is my fave.

    And TT, hope you get a plan going to get things back on track health-wise. I don’t think I ever left a condolence message for Banjo. I’m still reeling from the loss of my boy dog last November. (I still have a girl dog.) He was that pet-of-a-lifetime. I’m literally tearing up just typing about it. There’s a basket full of his stuffed animals (he loved them, treated them with such tenderness, despite him being a 65 pound frankendog) we haven’t been able to touch in a closet. I think that was what Banjo was to you. I know what that feels like. I wish I could say it gets easier. (Fucking tears. Dammit.) Anyway, I hope you are on the path to good health.

    Step up, you Housewives-watchers!

    Dear TT.
    To start, I am glad you are stepping away to take care of yourself. But as far as looking for your big girl panties, you are already wearing them. You are recognizing that there is something amiss (no need for me to get dramatic) and are doing the prudent thing by stepping away to address it, that is what girls who are wearing the big panties do.
    You are speaking kindly and matter of factly.
    If you are doing your best, that is all that can be asked of you.
    Like I told my best mate who is sick with cancer, take the little victories. Slowly but surely you will right your listed ship.
    Be well and we hear from you when we hear from you!

    TT take all the time you need. Processing new medical information can be overwhelming and emotionally draining. Thanks for telling us what you need. a) Space b) people to keep commenting and clicking on the site.

    This is TTs job yes she has support from everyone here but doesn’t need to worry about updating us any further she said she needs time and space no phone calls. She asked for that very nicely.

    I’m just about to watch Below Deck Med. I’m already cringing in anticipation about poor chef. I feel for him. He is like the geeky kid who got the hot girl and now he doesn’t know how to keep it cool. It’s car crash TV but I’m rooting for him to slap himself and get it together. A sooky pining boy is not very attractive. Come on Chef.

    I’ve been away. Was able to go see my sister in Texas. I have become quite the expert on looking up helpful information for us women if a certain age and available options in other states that can help with illnesses and proper legal forms, etc we should have on hand when dealing with major stiff by ourselves.

    My point is, I can’t be with her (sister) all the time but I can research and write up very helpful, condensed notes. I’m offering this to you, Tamara. No advice, a resource.

    I’m good at this. Managed to find available options the “care team” either didn’t know or didn’t tell. Navigating this stuff is overwhelming but … Not kidding, I’m like a savant. Lol. I have had to do this defending/representing myself in court, my son’s disability … and would be happy to help in any way without you having to recap and exhaust yourself, telling me your personal business. You have a group that wants to help and has varied skills. Use us. I’m that friend that shows up (via text, phone, email) and doesn’t ask questions or offer advice if you don’t want it. I don’t clean like Nancy or do dead rodents. Lol. But use us all.
