Ha! I just moved to DC from Miami. Born and raised down there. Grew up hearing the horror of Hurricane Andrew and learning to always take storms seriously, but don’t panic, just make sure to prepare and be responsible (in the words of my dad).

I agree in that they were married for almost 20 years!!!!! Its hard for me to imagine ANY housewive sustaining a marriage for over three years, so the fact that Ramona Singer was married to Mario for almost 20 years is insane.

I really liked Bethenny around this timeframe. I thought she took so much shit from Jill’s mean girl antics so I felt bad for her, and she was so funny and relatable! Amazing season.

Some fans think she was actually doing meth...earlier in the episode when Sonja is down in the cabin with Kelly she mentions that it smells like cat pee and apparently crystal meth smells exactly like cat pee. I think its a far fetched theory but...I watched that episode the other day and Kelly was acting absolutely…

This is why I feel like we really need to have a better dialogue on cultural appropriation. I think you have a point. Where is the line between exploitation and admiration?

My grandma lives in an assisted living facility and she is 94. There is no other option. Her dementia is so bad, and she is stubborn in general. The safest place for her is the assisted living facility. Its hard on the whole family, no matter how often we visit her. I get really defensive when people start in with the…

Hey there! I wanted to just chime in with the rest of the advice here. I just relocated as well and am in this process now. I was lucky in that I have about 3 good friends that live in my new town who I have known for a while, BUT! The cool thing with them is that they are all my friends from different times of my…

Great advice. I needed to start putting myself out there to make friends about a year ago and at first it was hard and felt unnatural but now it actually feels kind of easy! You definitely get used to more “forcefully” creating friendships. And ditto on the invitation advice - I made a rule for myself that I would…

I live and teach right in Fairfax, between city of Fairfax and Falls Church! Oh this will be exciting to talk to the kids about!

Seriously. Also, sooooo many people wear glasses. In fact, I sometimes think its actually kind of weird to have naturally good vision.

Agreed. Its just an objectively bad song. The line “why? cuz she’s DEAD” is just so terrible its actually embarrassing. If that was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek or goofy, she missed the mark.

Aren’t people like this so weird? I have a friend that lies constantly about the most random shit. I don’t understand why. The lies are just bizarre, random, unimportant lies...its one thing to lie to get yourself out of trouble or something, but to just make up falsehoods randomly is super weird.

I don’t understand why Dallas isn’t on Hulu! All the other Housewives cities are up except Dallas! I’m dying to watch it.

A girl on my Facebook feed posted today a “friendly reminder” to keep all pets inside because “its too bright outside for them today.”

Straight up, today I read some of the dumbest comments I’ve ever seen in my life on Facebook.

I had to attend the Inauguration as a chaperone and I didn’t want to go and I was stressed from the day of herding around dozens of kids and when we were getting on the Metro I was HIGHLY stressed and emotional from the day’s events and the sheer number of people and I may or may not have just literally barged through…

Omg awesome! I want to try a good quality foundation, I think its time to upgrade. I’ve been using L’Oreal True Match foundation but I think I’m ready to invest in a non-drugstore brand (within reason...I can’t break the whole bank). I have light skin, and I would say its normal to oily (not dry). Any suggestions on…

Wow, are you me? This is precisely how I feel. I constantly think about how I have so many friends that don’t seem to live this way, and how much I envy them. And I also feel guilty because I have a pretty great life and its been a relatively easy ride, and I panic over the tiniest issues possible.

Phewph...I’ve been waiting for SNS! So I really need some advice or anecdotes or tips. I feel like my general anxiety levels are out of control high lately. My worries have developed into obsessions, and I feel like my general pessimism is chronic at this point. I find tiny things to worry about that deep down I know…

Yesssss this is one of my all time favorite SY songs, it was one of the first ones I heard from them.
