I totally agree - expand peoples’ definition of what a family is, and be accepting of families in all forms, but this viewpoint, where families are only a source of negativity, is bizarre.  People are social animals who thrive in supportive environments.  I don’t get this at all.  

The “tall guy” is Shep Rose from Southern Charm! He is a disaster man-child who almost certainly hooked up with Scheana the night before the wedding based on instagram stories showing them together.

The whole point I think of the emergency exits is to work when there’s an emergency...like the power being off. This is why folks need to listen to the pre-flight announcement and peruse the emergency landing guide. I suspect she was under the influence. 

Air Canada, on-brand as usual: “We’re not happy til you’re not happy”.

As someone who cannot for the life of me fall asleep on an airplane under any circumstances, I kind of envy her for being able to fall asleep that deeply on a plane. 

MRI scanner. Thats what I was thinking of. Nearest thing there is to being in a coffin.

CT scanners are usually an open donut that slides you in and out. Spending more than an hour enclosed in an MRI scanner for an abdominal scan on the other hand ...

no one's asking you to. the flight attendants and staff, however...that is their job.

Okay I've read this book, and I would not have opened the doors because the Langoliers will get you.

Beyond the creepy and disturbing imbalance of these kinds of things, it also gives the person an aura of “I don’t understand the difference between daily and dress up.”

Oh, I’d recommend a rewatch. It’s amazing how your perspective changes the experience. I was exactly the same age as the characters when it was on the air. Watching as an adult, all my teenage nostalgia was still there, and there are tons of moments that are even more poignant when you know what’s coming. The only…

I think tweaks like this can make such a difference to a natural face - Ashlee Simpson’s nose job, too! It’s the fillers that make all these women look like mass produced inflatable dolls.

Terrible. 20-somethings getting work done and end up looking like 50-somethings trying to look like 20-somethings. Ironical.

I liked aspects of Seattle (Irene, briefly), but I always think of the San Francisco season as the one that made the biggest impression on me. Not even the attention-hungry Puck was actually a proto-reality TV personality. I don’t think he was out for fame in the mold of serial Real World/Road Rules participants, he…

I liked the Hawaii season, but I totally agree that it was basically when the tide started to turn and the cast wasn’t nearly as real anymore, and went from being basically themselves to characters. Because David is right....there is nothing on television that can compare to those first few season of the RW. It’s…

Same. It was really the last year where it seemed like the cast members were real people, out to have this experience, rather than to get famous. Every year after that was purely people there to get famous, none of them seemed like real people.  I actually think the next season, Hawaii, was the last one I watched and…

Wellness culture appears to directly target upper middle class women with enough money to pay alternative practitioners thousands out of pocket, though.

Right, this quote

I’ve suffered from endometriosis from my late teens — I can’t express the relief and freedom taking the Pill granted me. (I know there’s more than one “formula”.) I can’t imagine anything less vibrant than being doubled over several days a month.

You know what else will change the “color” of your world? Having a kid you didn’t want.
