Who is this person? I literally had to google her and even then spelled her name incorrectly several times.

Big fucking deal. RE-marry. More gifts! Big party! Stop moaning.

Yep, parent of teenagers here and just had a rather interesting conversation with one of them about plans for the next few days. Kid does not like me putting down boundaries - and his girlfriend likes it even less - but don’t much care. He gets lots of room but I do draw the line. When it comes to his dad he has more…

Love Actually sucks, is completely implausible, has story lines that make me want to hurl - yet I love it. There is not explanation for Love Actually.

If she had half a brain and a lot less control issues she’d let him hand with his dad. It would hurt, sure, to be rejected that way, but considering the has been been on tour with her for months then let it go.

I’m trying to remember the PR woman Saunders based Edina on. She’s legendary and for some reason (hangover?) I can’t remember her name. Edina is apparently a fairly spot-on portrayal in a lot of ways.

Wow - did you dump him?

Seriously! I was like ‘Huh? Ever heard of a little comedy show called French and Saunders? Or maybe read one of her books?’

WEll, that’s a good opt out when you have no comeback. Good luck.

And oldie but a goodie. :)

I had to delete my entire comment because I realised you’re getting outraged over something that ultimately doesn’t matter. Yes, I think Martha is several steps above Luanne (ok, many steps above) because Martha has built her empire by the sweat of her brow. Luanne continues to trade in on a title that means dog shit…

Christ, it’s been many, many years since I drove through those parts. There’s a Lowe’s and a Home Depot? I’m shaken. But I suppose this is growth. Although Hadley’s farm charm was kind of sweet. Plus, loads of weed was once grown there. Or so I heard. ;)

Would love a link, if you have one.

She is clinging to that title, as useless as it is, for dear life. Hell, I love her on RHNY but she is a total basic bitch at the end of the day. She looks good doing it, no doubt, but she is not exactly the epitome of class.

Martha IS better than the Countess. Martha has worked her ass off for decades to build an empire. She is amazing, whether you’re into what she does or not. The Countess has traded on her low-level Euro noble ex-husband for years - and really, he’s so low down on the totem pole that no one gives one shit about him on…

Yeah, no one really gets it until they’ve been through it. Then they say, ‘Ahaha...this sucks balls’. Because it does. Throw in anything other than a ‘We mutually agree we just aren’t suited’ and it’s a clusterfuck from hell.

Yes, as in ‘who gives a shit’ right? Because some overrated celeb making a video in some particular place is...Zzzzzzz. Especially Beyonce, who is sort of fun but not nearly the talent people make her out to be. But hey! That’s just my take on things.

You are totally right. No way to prove emotional abuse - but we know, once we get out - what it is. I’m trying to deprogram my kids but hell, they want to love their dad, so will put up with an enormous amount of his fuckery. It’s sad and the only thing I can say is stay strong, stay steady, and make sure you don’t go…

I’d rather a show about any of those other than divorce. Divorce is pretty much horrific.

Divorce is anything but sexy.
