Firstly, let’s be clear. You used the word forecasts. Yes, you did. Secondly, the very thing you linked to noted that the high today at noon was 82 degrees. At 6 am it was 79 degree. Fourthly, did you know that NYC is pretty big and you get different temperatures at different places? No of course not, which is…

Oh, so you were using historical data rather than the actual temperature? That’s so !I better than the actual temperature!

Forecasts and actual temperatures are different things.

Yeah, I saw her on the reunion (part deux) and she was quite awful. I think her rationalization that it was totes okay to talk about Jules ED — not directly with Jules mind you — because Jules joked that they were old was nonsense.

Was she really mocking Dorinda (or her dead husband)? It really didn’t seem that way to me. Just making a joke about her friend acting “possessed.” I just don’t see what was worth getting that offended over.

Strangest to me was Bethenny saying “well it’s true,” as if a couple getting a divorce proves that they went on a reality show in order to get a divorce. What does that even mean? How does being on a RH show facilitate getting a divorce? (I mean other than just playing the odds with the high divorce rate amongst the…

B or J? I mean, Jules ED was obvious because she discussed it and said she was in recovery. But Bethenny’s? As far as I know she’s never admitted to having one, and to the casual viewer, I’m not sure why it’s obvious Bethenny has one.

I think her friend of however many years might care she’s being called a liar and delusional. That’s the sort of thing that can end a friendship. It wasn’t necessary, and any guy that would throw that kind of a wrench in to his partner’s friendships isn’t really much of a keeper IMO.

Wasn’t Luann also a nurse? So she’s got some medical knowledge, which could come in helpful.

You’re a good friend. One of my friends is also super, super friendly and nice, and somehow she almost always mistakes creepy guys sexual interest in her as pure friendliness. Once she got married and was wearing a ring, I don’t think it occurred to her that a lot of guys wouldn’t even notice the ring, or would notice…

Maybe. But some people are really retrograde in their thin!IMG about what married women should not do without their husbands.

I saw zombies at first glance too. I thought it must be something for the new show, since the zombies on that show are fresher.

Being broke is the result of the decision making process that leads people to drop $700+ on a smartphone every year or two and whatever must have item that crosses their radar to waste their money on.

No, I’ve watched the whole run, or at least most of it. It’s not obvious to anyone who watches the show for what it is and doesn’t bother to keep up with Housewives gossip outside of the show, reads the books written by these women, listen to podcasts about the Housewives, or treat the Real Housewives franchises past…

I’m not taking anything personally. You may be talking about Bethenny. I’m talking about a dysfunctional societal construct that says it’s totally okay to police women’s bodies by telling them they must have an eating disorder if they are skinny.

I didn’t make any claim that someone shamed anyone specifically.

Well, we do. We see it in the show. She’s caught on camera asking someone to lie about Pirate Johnny Depp. She’s caught pretending she was surprised to find out the guy she was making out with was married, later to say she spent the evening talking and comforting to him about his failing marriage. I think it’s…

That all may well be true. But none of that is obvious to anyone beyond someone who has spent loads and loads of time finding out about this woman’s life. As a viewer who hasn’t spent one iota of time finding out about this woman beyond the show, it simply is not obvious she has an ED.

I know we’re not talking about me. But putting forth that a skinny woman obviously has an ED simply because she is skinny is a toxic message. It’s policing women’s bodies.
