If I had to guess I’d say they’re going to split up because he’s an entitled narcissist with a history of rash decisions and fathering children then dumping the mother. And she doesn’t exactly appear to be the picture of stability herself.

For what it’s worth, California (where the child was born) does have such a law, and this “name” violates it in two ways (the ash character and the number 12 are both verboten). It remains to be seen whether they’re trolling or whether they’re going to have a rich person hissy fit about it or whether this is just what…

I’ve posted a lot about how my parents gave my sister a strange family name to the point no one else on the planet has it except for our one family member who died a million years ago.

It’s pronounced “Mortification every time I think that my Mom screwed that jackass” .

He won’t have to.  The state of California already said no.  Birth certificates cannot have numbers, nor can the state systems support the Ash character.

I look forward to May 2038 when this kid changes his name to “John.”

Whoa whoa whoa. What about Elizabeth Woodville? Or Isabella? Or Katherine Swynford? I think it’s super pase to have a bunch of Tudors but glad to see Matilda in- the fact that she became a Queen of England by literally being dragged out by her hair is some Housewives shit

I think in this case its: Give me Botox AND give me death.

I think all the franchises, at one time or another, had a housewife whose husband got a little too much screen time for the other castmates’ liking. I know you have Anthony Armstrong Jones, and he’d be good because he’d try to sleep with them all, AND their husbands. But I’m thinking more of AlexAndSimon, or how Aviva…

Excellent call on Margaret Beaufort. She would also see herself as the matriarch of the group, a Kris Jenner-type. It would be a lot of, “You know, I made the Tudors. They were just a bunch of Welsh nobodies before me.”

Fantastic list! And whole heartedly support the presence of Empress Mathilda. However, I think Elizabeth I is just a little too reserved to make a good housewife, she keeps her cards very close to her chest (but maybe she could balance that out with some Erika Jane-esque style and flamboyance?) I would replace her…

This is...relevant to my interests.

In true Real Housewives fashion, Matilda/Maud defeated Stephen of Blois, but then was such a jerk to everyone they ran chose to continue fighting for 19 more years rather than have her as queen.

Very amused that his bio uses the word “rolodexes” in 2020. 

Absolutely on point. Finding a way to be of service will help with this malaise. Volunteer for a cause you really like, bring an elderly neighbor groceries, help out with a political campaign, cuddle kittens in a shelter so they learn about people, teach a kid to read - do something for someone else, and keep doing…

May I ask what you’re studying, Crystal? It’s likely you’re aware of how the current administration is mishandling a public health crisis, have you seen evidence that a Democratic leader would do things like block access to testing in order to artificially keep the number of confirmed cases low? Cause that’s onehuge…

Fantastic advice. At 48, i finally recognize that i’ve spent WAY too much of my life trying to figure out what it is i’m “supposed” to do. Even worse is the time i’ve spent fantasizing about a “Peggy Sue Got Married” scenario, where i’d wake up in high school (or at 21, 30, etc. etc.) with a chance to do it all over.…

“finding your purpose” is a mugs game for chumps, created by people marketing a service to help you find it. Self-actualization comes outside of work, through your hobbies, or pets, or even children (eegh) for some people.”

Find something simple, like accounting, or bookkeeping, being an electrician or something. And start doing it, and keep doing it.  And stay physically fit.

Before you know it, you’ll be 50 with 5-6 weeks of vacation coming to you, and enough income for fancy vacations or expensive toys.

or not.

Trust me, I know.

“finding…

I actually have a really similar take on this that might help, Perpetually Bored. I figured out really early on (like in my teens early on) that the whole ‘only do what you love for a living’ is total shite. I mean I’m sure it works for some people, but I find it hard to find peace within myself and I also struggle…
