Oh, don’t you know that mental health concerns are for OTHER people, not royals? We support people getting the help they need, but WE don’t need that kind of help.
And this is what really blows me away. NOBODY IS BRINGING UP THIS POINT in the discussions about how entitled and butt-hurt he’s behaved towards her - his being married makes it WORSE.
I got an annulment after my divorce because I was joining the Catholic church at the time (long story). And my kids are legit in the eyes of the church even though they identify as Jewish and don’t really care at all. It’s a cash grab for sure.
Oof, great minds.
Which was the entire plot of an Agatha Christie mystery, which I won’t spoil by divulging the title.
54 and was prematurely grey in my younger years. I remember when the invisibility happened, about 5 years ago - I was at a hotel bar and the bartender literally did not see me. It has only increased since then - people walking into me on the sidewalk, not seeing me on subway stairs, waitstaff not noticing when I’m…
He is also missing a lung! So to be yanked around like that is not trivial. And when you get older, balance becomes a huge issue as well. He responded very much in the moment - fright and just “whatever it takes to make this stop happening to me right now.”
Yeah, it’s a common assumption in the gossip industry that Andrew and Fergie are stirring up a great deal of the shitstorm around Meghan and Harry.
I grew up in the sticks and preps were always just the ones with money. So the whales-on-pants and monogrammed Bermuda bags were just an affluence-marker.
And that was when I was at my best. *sob*
Exactly! The patriarch, in particular, was so clueless at the end of it! Which, of course! He had it made! That society was created for him!
There was a BBC show called “The Edwardian Country House”, from 2002, that was a sort of reality show in that they recruited people to be both family and staff for a set period, and they had to run the household like it would have been run in Edwardian times - while wearing Edwardian dress. No surprise, at the end,…
So proud of him - he grew up down the street from where I lived in Brooklyn, and went to school with my daughter. Back then he was just a little dirtball with a passion for drums that I could hear 3 houses up, and we had no idea he was into fencing.
There are TONS of forums on Rav, about virtually everything under the sun. It’s one of the places I DO go specifically for political conversations, because the forums I’m in are populated by incredible, intelligent, hilarious people. It’s a great sort of “commons”, and not limited to needlework discussions (though…
Victoria’s son, Edward VII, was in fact a massive tomcat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_chair
They probably didn’t WANT to make it easier for people to navigate through the document.
I remember the busing battles, because I was in school in Seaford, Delaware (pop. 5000 at the time). I think I was in “intermediate” school at the time, which was 5th and 6th grades - I was 11 or so. In addition to the bicentennial madness, there was the busing freak-out. It was presented to us as “let kids go to the…
The hamster saga continued - Peanut Butter got out of the cage. But s/he was found, and apparently the cage is ginormous with a hammock?
