She is one of those kids who will write her own ticket. Between the spelling, math (in addition to her division skills it said one of her hobbies was doing math with her grandpa, which almost made me cry, it’s so wholesome), and athletics, she will go anywhere and do whatever she wants to do, and I am HERE FOR IT.…

Congratulations and good luck with the baby!

My grandmother was one of 13 and she said the same thing. The youngest one was an accidental late in life baby (my great-grandmother thought she was starting menopause and surprise! Apparently she was “mortified,” is the word the family uses) and he got the most attention because there were the fewest kids in the…

Fifty-WHAT?

The hubris. Lord. He’s 83. Can’t he just sit down somewhere? If it’s not going to be jail, can’t it be his house?

I’m sure that’s it since none of them appear to be in a relationship with him.

John Stamos was the guy! He had like 55 kids, no joke.

All my grandparents came from families of at least 6 kids. None of them continued that tradition. I have a professional acquaintance who is one of 5 (he’s an old Gen X’er, missed the boomer cutoff by a few years) and has 4 himself and that feels like a lot to me. Anything more than 3 kids feels like a lot to me (I’m…

I heard a version of that from so many white liberals at college acceptance time.

There was a video of him on IG saying he was a drug dealer and has been to jail a few times, and the cops know him and won’t do shit to stop him.

She was straight-up rude to her cohosts and sometimes to guests, behaving in a way that would embarrass the parent of a toddler that they were trying to raise even halfway right. She threw tantrums and pouted; she called Joy Behar “bitch” and tried to play it off like “I’m just playing, we call each other that all the…

There was one tweet last year where she talked about how NYC was like a war zone during the uprisings and somebody tweeted back at her “We live in the same building. It’s fine.” It was one of those moments when you’re grateful for Twitter. She is the way she is because she hasn’t been called on her shit nearly enough.

I don’t watch the show but I’ve seen the clips float around when she’s particularly obnoxious, and I don’t get the sense that the fighting is playful ribbing - I think the rest of the hosts genuinely do not like her. And I don’t think it’s because she’s conservative, I think it’s because she’s a fucking brat. The way…

Agreed, and you also have to factor in long COVID-sufferers who can’t - literally, physically cannot - work jobs that have you on your feet all day. I know of someone who got it at work (office job but they didn’t do shit for protection) and she can’t walk for more than 10 minutes at a time without getting winded, and…

Me neither - it actually sounds a little low to me for some parts of the country. I just saw a house under 1000 square feet in southern CA listed at $950K.

I’ve read that $75K is the magic number now.

Shortly after he took office, my former coworker said she thought he’d “rise to the occasion of the office” - like, she thought the seriousness of the job would cause him to take the job seriously. She didn’t vote for him (or so she said) but when he won, she was like, well, maybe he’ll actually do the work. I was…

I think most of them see it as another income stream. RHOA has been on for so long that cast members have married, divorced, and remarried on the course of the show. Some of them have used it to build platforms for bigger and better things. Porsha Williams was a traditional housewife when she first joined the cast…

I stopped watching RHOA a few years ago, but very few of them are actual housewives - most of them have jobs/businesses outside of the show, and some of them aren’t married at all.

I’ve seen boomers gobsmacked when they start thinking about college for their kids and they realize how much college is now. “I paid my way through Penn State mowing lawns in the summer!” Penn State will run you about $35K a year for tuition, room and board, and fees - and that’s in-state. (Out of state it’ll run you…
