Greeks, inventors of melodrama

I just want to take a moment to appreciate you for being here with an appropriate reality tv GIF for everything. Well done and thank you for your diligent service to this community/doing the Lord’s work.

Yeah, my yiayia will turn 98 next month and she has been telling us for over a decade that she’s “ready to go”. Unfortunately for her, she’s in incredible health for her age. Its difficult to hear her say so, but she has outlived her husband, one of her children and many of her friends, so I get it. I think that…

Wow, that sucks - I’m sorry that that happened to you. Family law varies widely from state to state (in my divorce, we were each able to split what little we had and go our separate ways, no financial support of one another required), and many times, these guidelines/court rules are tied to some archaic notions or…

Agreed. I like her and I want her to look good on a show that’s all about fashion! They really jacked with her wardrobe while she was pregnant, too; speaking from my own experience, it really is hard to find clothes that will be flattering when you’re pregnant, but come on...

Was thinking basically this when I saw that picture yesterday of Ivanka posing at the wailing wall. These people are so fucking sick.

Yes! Thank you! Came here to say this very thing. The entire book is pointing to symbolism that would have been recognizable to Jews alive at the time of writing. It was not meant to be construed as end-of-the-world calamity that was yet to come in some far-off future.

Exactly. And this flippant attitude toward the experiences women have in pregnancy, childbirth and child-rearing is indicative of the attitude our entire culture has toward these things. And this shoulder-shrugging bullshit is why maternal death rates are oddly high in the U.S. compared to other developed countries.

I face palm over what Alyssa Milano is wearing!

Yes! I hope so anyway. Most of the people watching this show are probably highly unlikely to smear Avon all over their face, so the ad dollars are mostly wasted.

+ not as easily distracted as a 2-yr-old. God, 3 is the real test of your mettle as a parent... while they’re little, anyway.

After absorbing pics of the inaugural ball (and trying to absorb the idea that our new overlords would be angry, vengeful and stupid), my husband said, “Please, Karen Pence - get yourself a stylist.” I’m reminded by this montage that she continues to promote her own “style” and thereby continues to subject the nation…

I don’t know what this is, but I love it.

And sometimes fudging when it comes to the B part of the community, too.

Yes, but I wonder how honest she is with herself about that right now. When you’re in denial of something, acceptance comes in stages, so maybe we’ll see that at some point from her. But then again, the fashion industry isn’t exactly known for the self-awareness of those who work in it..

She told BuzzFeed the Brown comparison is “absurd,” adding:

Yeah, and I think it’s a combo of old habits and a strong dislike of this show (and T Rav) around Charleston. The Cooper River bridges were heavily used connectors to/from the downtown area, but were shut down and this one built to replace them a few years ago -it’s hard to start calling the connector by another name.…

Rudy apparently not be best, lately. Sad!

Yeah, I don’t like that she construed age with “time to close up shop, heh heh!” But on the other hand, I understand her sentiment. Sex drives ebb and flow through out our lifetimes and of course, they tend to ebb more than flow in folks who are elderly (by and large). If she wants to be done with sex, I get it. If…
