“My now-wife really wanted a big honking engagement ring.”

Congratulations and best wishes!

I know, right?! As of about a week ago, there was someone in the comments who made it her mission to deconstruct how bullshitty the blinds are. I think it’s pointless, but she’s not wrong and I think she’s starting to get allies/snap some people back to reality. I think about that guy who rolled up to Comet Pizza with…

You made some awesome “lemonade” from this situation!

Upvoting for dear Aunt Alice Carter.

Yup, I’m 27 years into my crush...

Don’t go to Crazy Days and Nights. They have some ~insane~ blind items and the comments section has gone full Pizzagate on celebs like Hanks and Spielberg. Imagine if Breitbart had a celebrity gossip site. Err, actually, don’t.

If you’re trying to escape scandals involving children, women or animals, I do NOT recommend high-tailing it for Amish country.

*checks calendar* Ok, it’s a little early for wedding stories, anyone have a good engagement ring story? And by “good”, it could also be “terrible”.

One semi-recent snowy weekend day, the Mr. and I decided to hold our own min-RomComCon that consisted of To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, Set It Up and The Kissing Booth. (FTR, listed by diminishing return although I recommend the first two.) Anywho, looks like I need to start planning our next marathon.

Keanu is a treasure and I swear to God if some scandal ever breaks about him secretly being a monster, I may sign on to colonize Mars.

Dirt Bag is a safe space for caring and knowing way too much about shit like this. We are your people!

Yikes. Some psycho exes out there.

So... wealthy boyfriends and money laundering?

Never been a big Nene fan but this season even I’m like, “Nene, honey, you okay?” Every episode I feel like she’s one straw from breaking.

Did Emma date their manager at one point?

David Rocksavage. (I’m never going to judge another historical romance hero’s porn star’s name again.)

Wow, that’s super shitty. And dangerous.

This doesn’t bother me. That leather isn’t serving a purpose and adds cost. I also can’t remember the last time I bought Levi’s so I have no dog in this hunt.

Technicality: Mel B didn’t out Geri. Geri has previously discussed being with women. But still unsavory to talk about who you’ve slept with, in my book. Especially to someone who is OBVIOUSLY just being salacious and is a known POS.
