What is it, really? Is it the change in weather? Is it how annoying these “reality” shows have become? What is it, really?
There are posts lined up ready for publishing. However, after reading them, I ask myself, “Who cares?” Who really cares if Lynne Curtin from the most crass and classless of the Housewives franchises, the Real Housewives of Orange County, gets a divorce after being separated from her husband for two years? Does anyone care… about Lynne… the state of her marriage… or her cuff jewelry line?
Does anyone care that Tree Joodice… the TreeJoodice who has rehabilitated herself (with the help of some VERY professional agents) beyond recognition… has an ally lined up as her accomplice on the next unwatchable season of the Real Housewives of New Jersey? Does anyone care what any of these crap-for-brains Housewives have to say? Does it matter that they support gay rights? Or had their photos taken after having their faces tattooed with a sharpie and duct tape placed over their mouths? Does anyone care that they pose naked for PETA? Does anyone care what products they’re tryin’ to push down viewers throats?
Is there anyone actually buying their wine, their shirts, their vodka, their books, their shoes or their shapewear? Anyone besides, of course, the people tweeting the Wives asking them where they can buy their wares or tweeting them about how fabulous their products…that the tweeter ‘unsuspiciously’ bought TEN of for Christmas… are?
Does anyone care that Cynthia and Peter got re-married? Or that we’re gonna see Lisa VanderpumpRump re-marrying Ken? Yes, after Ken’s miraculous recovery from his near-death hip surgery, Lisa will spout out more affirmations of her love for Ken and how she just can’t live without him… in preparation for her and Ken’s re-commitment ceremony. Again, who cares?
Is anyone looking forward to seeing Tamballs’ bachelorette party? Yes, it’s another trip for the Housewives… YAWN.
Does anyone REALLY care that Brandi Glanville wrote a book about her breakup? Does anyone REALLY care about the highly UN-educated Ms. Glanville advice that she has jam packed in her tome? A much more laughable book than Brandi Glanville’s “dating advice” book is the **cough, cough** much-anticipated “marriage advice” book from none other than that sub-human New Jersey Housewife, Melissa Gorga. Oh… totally forgot about the other sub-human from New Jersey, DonCaroline Manzoid’s book coming out! Now, THAT’S the epitome of burglar balls of book writin’! Who in their right mind is going to take what ANY of these chicks have to say as legitimate? Especially DonCaro?
You can be sure that BubbaJax probably has a ghostwriter book lined up about how she lived through her child’s diagnosis of autism… just wait, you’ll see!
Does anyone REALLY care about the Lord of the Housewives, MissAndy? The leader of the BravoLebrities, MissAndy’s asking his puppetWives to perform for him on their reunion shows and to play his moronic sophomoric “games” on his talk show has made both him and these “reality” wives to be taken as jokes. After hearing the same “joke” from MissAndy and Bravo repeatedly, the joke becomes more than stale… it becomes something rotten and moldy. Maybe in the case of MissAndy and his Wives, they have become worse than rotten and moldy… they are more likened to the flattened dead cats strewn about in a Hoarders episode found by Matt Paxton (love that guy!).
In fact, the level of interest in this “reality” genre has hit an all-time low. There is nothing “REAL” in “reality” TV! Who wants to see T-Boz’s return? Who cares what the Braxton’s are doing? Who wants to watch the three SpecialKs take Miami? Who really cares about Persians living in LA? Furthermore, who wants to watch “reality” shows based on serial killers… or drug addicts… or based on no-talent people off the street? One of those no-talents got rich, VERY rich and VERY lucky because three dumbass gay white guys decided to like her!
The bizarre fascination with these people has flattened. What used to be fun… way back when MissAndy only had one chair in his Clubhouse and when he was not intent on becoming the next greatest talk show host… has now morphed into a strained disgust when watching their antics, MissAndy’s included. Remember MissAndy’s fun New Year’s Eve Party?
And some of the guests New Year’s Resolutions?
This may just be a passing phase… this total disgust with all things “Housewives”… and it may not!
Can only say that the shows that I’m looking forward to are the new season of MadMen, NCIS and that frickin’ GoldRush show… will also watch repeats of TheCloser, BurnNotice and some others that escape my brain at this moment!
NOTE: When looking through photos to include in this little rant, discovered that HagfaceKyle Richards is NOT the only Hagface! Yes, HagfaceKyle has some very strong competition! Not only in the “Hagface” category, but the “ManHands” category as well!
Also, if anyone is wondering about the future of Sin City Rules… starring crime baby, Amy… you can be assured that it’s on its way out the door. TLC would not be airing a new Sin City Rules at 11 pm… with an episode of Sister Wives taking SCR normal time slot of 10 pm… if there were any hope for the show! AWW… too bad, Amy! There goes your 15 minutes!!
Wow, I could have done without seeing some of those pix. Those were harsh.
Hers: Oh, there’s plenty more!! This was a rush job! TFC!! SH
Oh, I believe you, SH! I’m sure Phaedra’s donkey booty encased in mesh will be featured, among many others!
Ooooh please no lol. We got enuff of that when the program aired!!!!
I know, LOL!
I agree with you hers, I couldn’t get away from hagface and Kim what a hoot. I am getting away from all of BRAVO shows myself, I’ve lost the interest. One thing the picture of the cat make me throw up in my mouth, it was horrible.
I’m with you, Barb. I can’t stand to see anything bad about animals. Looking at one right now on the sofa who’s so cute I can hardly stand it.
Me too Hers. My little “pumpkin” is all snuggled up and cozy. She’s all worn out from playing with her ball on a string. My sis sent her a Christmas gift, and just like I thought..she had FUN just playing with the wrapping paper
.
It hurt me because I’m up in Bergen County with my son. His 10 year old Great Dane isn’t going to make it. She’s on her last days or weeks now and it pains me to see this, besides his whore of a wife walked out in September. Please pray for Scarlett…she’s so beautiful. Thanks
im so sorry about the doggie barb
Thanks Lisa….
I’m so sorry too Barb. I do know what’s like to lose a beloved pet. I”m still missing my boo…I was blessed with him for about16 years before he passed on. When he got sick and I realized I was going to lose him, I thought never again. One day this stray (pumpkin) just showed up, and I couldn’t turn her away. Gods plan. I really am SO sorry for your son. I wish I had the words that could offer comfort for your son and for you. My prayers go out for Scarlett.
Thank you, she is well cared for, that picture just got to me.
Barb, so sorry. I’ll keep you all and the dog in my prayers. I can relate. We went through something similar earlier this year. I know it’s devastating.
I’m sorry to barb… I have lost a couple of dogs… They are your family, and bestest friend… But just remember the love, good times… And know she is tired… You did the best… That will give you peace, and your son too.
I am so sorry to hear this.Will be praying.
Thanks Made
@ Barb SO sad…prayers for Scarlet and your son and you…
I’m sorry
Will keep Scarlett and all who love her in my prayers.
Thank you
Praying for Scarlett, you, and your son.
Thank you BSL…
Aww…prayers going up for Scarlett and your son! We had a hamster, Sammy, and after about a year he developed a lump and it was so sad to see him that way. From the time the lump appeared to the time we buried him was maybe about a week. I cried like a baby, and we haven’t bought another pet since. It’s just too hard! Never thought we’d get so attached to the little guy and it was heartbreaking to see him that way.
Thank you so much and I know what you mean, this isn’t the first animal I have had to bury. Actually we have them cremated. I have several urns.
Barb, I am so sorry about Scarlett. My baby (pug) was so sick for about a year, and I really thought I was going to lose him. All I did was cry (not even kidding, cried every single day). But, he is well now. He got so excited opening his Christmas presents he vomited (twice!). I wish I could make this better for you and your son. It is so hard.
Barb, I’m so sorry, my heart goes out to you and your family
Oh dear…
I’m so sorry to hear that Barb. I’ll be praying for sweet Scarlett and your son. Great Danes are beautiful and such great dogs.
Always hard to lose a beloved pet. So sorry.
Am so sorry about your sons dog…the four legged one not the two legged bitch…
i hear you, a few weeks ago i used google to find out something about guinea pigs and up came recipes on how to cook them i was mortified.
WTH!!! Now that’s just sick! Who would do such a thing and why…. I would’ve been mortified too!
well they eat them in cental and south america, both andrew bourdain and andrew zimmer have had guinea pig featured on thier shows. down that way guinea pigs are food not pets.
You can let Clover know that I’m not down with that.
he said thank you…wheek wheek
Just saw this Lisa and I’m so sorry to read this:(.
Don’t take this the wrong way Lisa, but last night when I was reading through this thread and I came to this post of yours I laughed out loud. In a WTF kind of a way because who would think that googling something about an animal most folks only know to be kept as a cute little pet would turn up recipes on how to cook them? I read your post to my husband (he asked what was funny) and he said exactly what you said below re: the Andrews traveling to countries where guinea pigs can be picked out of a cage and cooked to order. He watches both of those shows and I just can’t. Learn something new here every day!
I meant Anthony and Andrew, not “the Andrews”. It’s the wine that I haven’t even opened yet…..
Honk if you figured I’d post dis one
Beep beep.
HONK!
Toot Toot
Stole my line, Miss B!
Honk Honk!!!!!
Made, I never know what to expect from you! Honk if you screamed when you viewed the pictures above
Well yes. Scarrry stuff.
Scary is right. Vyle in that wig. Yikes!
I LOVE Gold Rush!
Chem: That’s “FRICKIN” GoldRush! LOL!!! TFC!! SH
I so related to this Ms SH, I feel like you were reading my mind with this one. Seriously, what ever has been going on with me lately, or is in the air, has just left me feeling like “I just don’t care about any of the Blavo B.S anymore.” Truth: I love to come to S.H. to chat and catch up with SH friends. Maybe my disdain for Miss Mandy/blavo will pass like you said, but I am SO…enjoying getting back to watching real TV….you know like Well Written, Well Acted and Well Directed television! Also Looking forward to Madmen
.
Me too, ktgirl.
Shut Miss Andy and his productions down.
Bored, boring, boringest.
What KT said. I have already recruited the hubs to set a parental code on Blavo if after the debut of RHONJ it appears, even remotely, that they are going to continue the charade of Teresa = all evil all the time and the others are wise and caring and compassionate and complete and utter stand up people. Blavo will be sleeping with the fishes…morto!
@ adios, Boy if they pull that bullsh** again I’m going to pull an umpire move and yell a ” YOUR OUTTA HERE BLAVO.” Two seasons of putting up with Caro-lie-n and her Endless Display of Hate, while Mandy continued to delete posts on the Dons blog…..was such a joke….
I love Duck Dynasty on A&E — Real kind of but funnier that crap. What channel is Gold Rush on?
Happy happy happy! The success of Duck Dynasty just proves people don’t find the mindless Bravo trash version of “reality” fighting and ugliness entertaining. Wonder how their ratings compare to bravo and the kardashian trash show?
You got that right Jack!! LOL! I just love me some Uncle Si. That man makes me laugh every time!
I love Duck Dynasty, too, and they teach their children manners! None of the trashy crap like the housewives, just family values….Sye is my favorite, he’s full of sayings that are his own thunkings! It’s nice to see normal acting families acting like they do care about each other, and they have fun while doing it. I hope I don’t find out they are crazy too, just faking for the camera…..it has crossed my mind that those horrible hairy faces are only for during filming, and they could possibly be snobs when the show is not filming. Hillbillies can be snobby, too…..I live about three hours…driving real slow here….from where they live.
Your comment reminds me of that great movie A Face In The Crowd. If you haven’t see it, any fan of “reality tv” would surely appreciate its prescience.
Men are starting to watch Duck Dynasty, I saw it listed while I was remoting through but kept passing it by, then one day my son posted on his fb about his favorite new show was DD(he also liked the hw’s cause they were so crazy…his wife didn’t watch them), both have PhD’s….then he made a comment that it reminded him of his hometown…so naturally I had to see what it was about! Then found out my nephews watch it, too…one of my nephew’s ex wife lives in Monroe, La….and I’ve been hooked ever since a few shows. I’d be after ole Sye(however he spells it) if it wasn’t for all that hair on his face! I don’t mind a little facehair, but not those scraggly things they have….I’d choke to death on that hair!
agreed- I’m in love with Si and Phil, they’re just genuine true wacky characters. Kinda gotta love men like that…just not sure to find any around my way who’re single….
P.S. Also love Mr. Mark on Moonshiners…and he’s taken too…booo!!!
I do too. Those guys are funny!! Thanks to them I’ve culturally enriched myself and now know what moobs and he-hooters are. I also like The Last Frontier on Discovery. Ice and Coco are pretty cute too. I’m happy for them, because they seem like soulmates.
He-hooters! I love the fat guy with a beard (as Todd has called himself). I hope they hit it big this season. I got a kick out of the last episode where their wives talked about how they met their spouses and life with their men…..and squeaky Jack looked like whatshisface (the dad) from Family Ties in one of the family pictures they showed.
I like Ice and Coco, too, but was very disappointed to see that pic of Coco with that man…don’t know if it was for publicity for the show, or for real. Ice is such a nice guy, and he does love his wife, seems like.
What and where is Gold Rush on? I’ve never saw the show, never even glimpsed it while remoting…..I do love Burn Notice, I passed by Burn Notice for the longest time thinking it was about firefighters, and I don’t like that type show…..but I can’t wait for Burn Notice to come back on…..now yall got me wanting to see Gold Rush….somehow I never catch the channel Honey Boo Boo is on, either!
Gold Rush is on Friday night on the Discovery Channel. HBoo-Boo is on TLC. Enjoy!
Chewbacca Guidice Rehap’d Really seems seem like the same stupid Clueless in denial Moron she always
was.
There the tell-tell trauma based mind control keloids of a MK ultra beta slave on Gretchen AND Kyle that I was talkin about the other day. We orta have a conspiracy section on here.
Modern day Valley of Dolls!
Its spooky. And they are ALL connected. All of them.
Psychological warfare — I’d go one further and say spiritual warfare.
Oh yes that’s what it all comes down to for sure. A war for our souls.
This is so intesting to me, it was an inkling to something like this that brought me here. I hated how these shows pull you along dictating to you how to feel who you should like etc. There was something that happened on one of these housewife shows (for the life of me I can NOT remember who it was or what they did that started me looking on line for the answer) I just couldn’t belive what I was seeing. everyone had one opinion and I had another. I decided to go online to look for the answer and this site turned up. Not only did I find my answer but it opened my eyes to so much more. I KNEW that I was getting led astray and manipulated by Bravo and here I found like minded people that didn’t just buy into the shit sandwich we were being served. Once I found this site I stayed! Voila!
The last time you posted that mind control stuff I got sucked up in a you tube Illuminati haze for what seemed like days! I haven’t seen this one though with Tila Tequila. I forgot about her. That was awful how her gf/wife Casey Johnson died. I always wondered how often her family communicated with her. She had a daughter. Anyway… I hope her daughter’s ok. Not sure what Tila’s talking about, but I wouldn’t doubt it.
I know. It sucks me in too. So much information. Just watch it and decide for yourself what to believe. I have yet to find one that I believe 100% of but some of them are pretty trippy. So keep your guard up and Knowledge is power n all dat
After you watch this one, ask yourself how many times you have seen the “all seeing eye” on the RH shows?
The early references to 9/11 are creepy, too.
JFK – RIP
He tried to warn us…
It’s kind of like what Ms SH was saying. For me, I’m getting the feeling it’s really time to walk away from Blavo and their madness. It’s a deranged network and a madman named Miss Mandy is running that circus. Well, I’ve NEVER liked the circus…even as a little kid I sensed a darkness among the charade called a “Circus.”
MeGo wore it on a necklace.
yes And Jac visited a santeria priestess
and blatant on RHOC
and ALL of the franchises have at least one scene where a medium, a psychic or a energy reader or some such is used. A seance even. Deeply disturbing and THREE people have died
AJ Jewell
Lou Knickerbocker
Russel Armstrong
Yeah, there’s been a lot of dabbling in paganism and whatnot with most of the housewives. The all seeing eye of horus is everywhere, like LoveVegas said, it is creepy. Only God sees all.
Amen…and I don’t think He likes it at all!
Me neither!
Ditto. I’m not down with the occult.
Y’all don’t wanna know where I’ve been. Lol
Darn you tube!
Ya skird yet?
I took a detour somewhere else. Lol! I landed in JFKville…
Well thats just gonna brang you right back to mind control eventually.
….provided that you follow the breadcrumbs for CIA and Marlyn Monroe
Ok I’m back
Yes, again…
Welcome back good buddy
@made: Have you ever looked in to the background of the “peace” symbol? Someone on my Facebook posted a Christmas wreath made in to a peace sign and a comment was left saying that it’s really a symbol of an upside down cross with broken arms. I had never heard that before so I did a little research – was amazed at what I found!
Yes thats scary.
Anything with an all-seeing eye has always given me the creeps.
And guess who puts it out there every chance she gets? Lady Gaga…. for all her “little monsters”
Get OUT!! Now I’m gonna go through the slips covers of her CDs that I bought. Never buying any more of her crap.
OK, just looked at the cover of Gaga’s Fame Monster CD – she’s got dark hair over one eye and the other eye’s got heavy black eyeliner streaming down her cheek, just like in those Egyptian glyphs. The letter “t” on the word Monster is elongated at the bottom like a cross – is that a cultish sign??? Jeepers!
Her song Judas is terrible, she’s blasphemous trash. Made is spot on, she uses so much symbolism.
I don’t care that much for her song Judas but in the video, Norman Reedus plays Judas. That’s the best part of it! The rest is eh
What’s scary is that this chick has millions and millions of Twitter followers who hang on her every word like it’s gospel, and she promotes herself as this role model and spokesperson for the gay community and anti-bullying. She’s no role model for anybody IMO.
Check out the stuff on Nikki Minaj illuminati stuff , then watch this in a whole new light
ITA!
Wow it’s been so long since I posted here, I forgot my username here. Please don’t be sucked up by Tila Tequila’s lies. She’s using the “truth” movement to further her own personal agenda. She’s tried to join the illuminati herself (didn’t know they exist or you could join) via strange posts on her defunct gossip site and only turned against them when she didn’t become a member. She used Casey Johnson to bring publicity to herself and some have alleged that she prevented her from being able to take her diabetes medication. She takes bits and pieces of conspiracy theories and repackages them to fit her own agenda.
I’m not knocking critical thinking, but it’s very easy these days to believe in conspiracies versus looking at the most logical answer.
Could this woman speak any damn slower?? Jeazus H Cripes…Its people who speak like this that provides me a reason to NEVER EMPTY my voicemail….just talk like you’re not on Ludes if you want anyone to listen until you actually get to the damn point.
Who was it that ha the three dumbass gay guys like her?
MP: The three gay guys: Andy Cohen, AndyCooper and Ryan Murphy. Dumbasses. NayNay would be nowhere without them. TFC!! SH
oh gotcha , MeMe’s trifecta of triumph.
I really need to start refreshing my screen before I post! LOL! Ms SH beat me again!
tee hee. It happens to me all the time too.
At first I thought Bethenny but now I know that it’s NeNe!! 3 guys= Ms. Andy, AndyCoop, & Ryan Murphy!!
My fav is the gif of the Richards sistas pointing their finger while scolding Brandi at PamDana’s game night. Slutpig…
True that, Romo! I loved it when Kyle and Kim were fussing at Brandie and then when Kim says “You know what!?……” Then when Kyle stops speaking, Kim doesn’t know how to follow up the threat. Heeeheeee
That gif is the BEST. I wish it was SH’s perpetual wallpaper.
Agree with your rant Ms. SH. Who cares? It ain’t what it used to be.
I used to love all of the housewives shows and I even liked WWHL. Unfortunately Mandy has ruined it. The only thing I watch on Bravo anymore is Top Chef (still addicted to it). RHONJ was always my favorite until season 3 and I just kept getting confused and then I was more confused for the S3 reunion. So yes, I bought the watch and read between the lines hook line and sinker and I watched and read and saw a highly scripted piece of crap trying to fool people into thinking it was real. So will I be watching S5, probably not. I will however, keep coming to the message boards, especially my favorite SH, to read the juicy gossip (I still need my silliness kick) and for the camaraderie of all here.
And yes I have bought the Teresa’s products — all 3 cookbooks and Milania. I love the cookbooks! All of the recipes are easy and turn out great! And my hair has never looked better since I started using Milania. My daughter stole my 1st gift set, so I bought another 2 and she has now stolen may spare.
I agree with you on the cookbooks! After reading reviews I finally bought the most recent one and all I can say is that my family is soooooo happy for the change-up!! I am not a seafood eater but my fiance & my daughter loves shrimp, and they absolutely love Tre’s shrimp scampi & rice recipe!! It was simple and it took no time to prepare & cook!
I’m looking forward to the grilling one that comes out in May!!
Me too!! I’m always off to the side or in the kitchen cooking sides while my man does the grilling so that cookbook will surely help to change that! LOL!
I’ve got to get Tre’s books. Her recipes look yummy and easy to fix. I’m not a gourmets cook. I don’t like it when t ingredients are obscure.
save your money and just google the recipes its basically the same effect
My point is Teresa recipes are just basic Italian recipes there are nothing special about them other then she tweeks them a little so she can call them “HERS” But they are really just basic.
I found her shrimp scampi recipe online, and I think you’re right, Lisa
Got it… thanks….
Nothing is Real
I wish I was warned about that picture of Aviva. Omg.
Gretchen needs to invest some of that $500,000 lawsuit settlement money on a few trips to the derm to get those ugly cysts removed from her horse face.
I love it! Lol
I was looking for the you tube of the Richards sisters pointy finger scene, but the one I found is the preview of that ep it has a bunch of Traylor trash’s ugly mug on it. I will spare y’all.
The thing is I find myself not caring at all. So bored with them all and their “reality”
O.K., here’s the deal. If anyone can remember back in the eighties, Reagan cut off federal funding for the mental institutions that were everywhere, in every state, town and city, and as a result you had nut cases out on the street for the local communities to deal with. Well those nut cases found other nut cases, had babies and now we have the likes of Nene, definitely a mental case in my opinion, and her Atlanta cohorts hiding under the umbrella of political correctness to establish themselves as reality stars. Now the nut cases have come full circle and nobody wants to deal with the truth. Our society has degraded into what once would have been considered absolutely anti-social behavior into an acceptable part of eveyday life.. NeNe and all of her cohorts have been given a free pass to say whatever racist ugliness they want and nobody will call them out on it because to do say would smack of racism. Big booties my ass. ( pardon the pun) Why is it only a one way street? I doubt if Lyndon Johnson, when forcing federally mandated integration would have ever imagined that it would have devolved into a situation where blacks would be able to hurl ugly derogatory racist comments against whites and be given a free pass to do so when a white person is not even able to defend themselves by simply replying in a like manner. So in closing, I only ask that everyone who reads this doesn’t just sit by when a black person hurls insults at white people, but responds by reprimanding them and reminds them of where they would be without the white money for their jobs, college funds, federally mandated jobs, etc. Since I traveled so much to foreign countries , I was able to witness what happens in those other countries. Not once did I see where the minorities dictated any policies in the governance of their countries, or even their cities. I once had a person from a third world country ask me how this could be, where the minority is able to lead while the majority remains silent and I had no answer. Brainwashing, I guess. I takes a long time, but it’s here. Oh, and one other thing, the war between the states didn’t start to free the slaves, that came long after the war was started. I mean, could you imagine some guy up in New Hampshire giving up his farm and taking his sons into battle so they could free slaves? I didn’t think so, but it’s something that the distorters of history would like you to believe. And just one more thing. O.J. was guilty.
And P.S. If you don’t like the truth, go screw yourselves.
Absolutely agree with you that the history books that the schools use to teach history is dead wrong. I am gonna need a lil bit more time to wrap my head around your assertion that Regan is to blame for the likes of MeMe though
Anyways …. it aint over and its gonna get worse
If any of yall if fixin to go to sleep hold off on watching this one till the light of day becuase if you REALLY absorb what it is saying then you WILL have nightmares.
M.P.
Many, many years ago I visited (?), saw the remnants of Dachau and for too many years, I had nightmares of what I saw. I just can’t even think about what the liberating troops felt when they liberated the camp. I get sick when I think about what I had seen and the slaughter was over. Such inhumanity.
My nightmares will return.
Work will set you free? Not for those poor people.
Miles, in deep anguish
I am so sorry Miles.
Usually I’m a smart ass and comment to stir things up, but I didn’t even watch more than two seconds of the video to know what it was. I’ll always have disturbing memories of that as well as seeing the remnants of Verdun, France, a historic W.W.1 battlefield. And then there are my own deeply tragic personal losses. I’m not looking for sympathy, but the last year has been a tragic one for me. I lost many who were dear to me, my wife, a year ago, who was my best friend and the love of my life, who would wait patiently for my return while I was circling the globe on my adventures, and my sister, who would always call me to just ask what I was doing, my brother in law, the genius college professor who would call me to ask if I had Prince Albert in a can ( those of you above fifty know what i mean), and on and on.
I Know this sounds crazy, but it seems that the only thing that buoys my spirits is reading and commenting on this this Stoopid Housewives blog. Sometimes it seems as though I can actually talk to Ms HW, Wish I could, but I’ll settle for the comment column.
Maybe I’m a little melancholy, but I can at least feel good when I’m here!
So Hat’s off and much love to MS HW and if applicable Happy Birthday, Happy New Year and
You too, Made Piley, my kindred spirit. By the way, southern Florida is nice this time of yearyear
Miles, I’m so sorry for your losses, and I do agree that we seem to have a mental health epidemic. However, I don’t think Reagan has anything to do with the current cult of celebrity. We’ve done that to ourselves. We’ve taken out eyes off God and turned them inward and onto each other. That’s what has screwed us up IMO.
Reagan cut off federal funding for mental health facilities. His reasoning was that the communities could take care of it Does anyone remember when He and Stockton decreed that ketchup was a vegetable???? I rest my case.
I still don’t see how President Reagan has anything to do with what you were talking about. Anyway, hope you have a nice night.
MIles, I didn’t know about Reagan cutting funds for the mentally ill. Now I find it completely ironic that Reagan was shot by a mentally disturbed guy trying to impress Jodi Foster.
I am sorry to hear all you have went through. Miles. I am glad that your spirit is lifted coming here. It helps me too. I know it seems that I spew pretty much every single thought that comes in my head and I have shared a sliver of some of the bad things that I have been through but I hold SOOO much more in and I understand fully what you mean when you say it DOES help to just come here and cut up. So glad to know you Miles and I said it once and will say it again, if I ever go on a SH tour your southern Florida paradise will be among the first I visit.
Would love to have you. There’s so much to do and see. Sunshine, gators, dolphins jumping, Mote Marine, smooth white sand beaches, and of course fresh shrimp.
Miles, I have to add that I agree with you about the distortion of history.
History books don’t tell of the devastation that Lincoln wielded upon the south. They celebrate him as a great hero, but at what price, and who paid? When the war was won, he could have just made peace and let everything take it’s course, but no, he had to punish the southerners and let Sherman kill, burn rape and savage any white southerners that his army ran into.
Forty acres and a mule that was given to the freed slaves was Lincoln’s idea of reperation for the slaves, but he stole that from the white land owners, and just like in Zimbabea, they had no idea what to do with it, but hey I got something for nothing, the birth of wefare do dah.
Oh, and I think you should read this.
http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/sherman.htm
Thanks, Miles.
Miles is that any different from what the Americans let the Russians do to the German. History tends to repeat itself until we learn from it. Also I was taught that the civil war was more for economic reasons then for abolishing slavery.
Why the civil war happened is something people will debate forever. My understanding is that slavery was a priority for Lincoln because it was part of his campaign strategy (some say without a stand on slavery he would’ve lost), but the real issue was access to southern ports without taxation. Lincoln didn’t give a bag of beans about slaves.
Sorry for interrupting. I’m from the south and just started reading about the Civil War so I geek out.
I used to think that Lincoln was a great hero until I started to read real factual accounts about what went on during his presidency. He gave two shits about the slaves, but he wanted the south under his control at any cost, therefore the emancipation proclamation. It’s a wonder he lived as long as he did during those times given how most people felt about slaves. Compare that to the Kennedy’s or Lyndon Johnson with their big push for integration. Did they ever spend a night or even a day in the ghetto without protection? No, because they didn’t care about you or me and it continues to this day where you have to be careful not to venture into a black “community” and if you get robbed or shot, it’s your fault for being there in the first place. So the politicians have decreed that there will be no discrimination, and if there is only the whites will be punished, Abe Lincoln sucks!
Miles: Let’s not forget the immediate wreckage and looting of businesses as soon as something happens in a black community! DAMN! I say we all do the very same thing… the next time something happens, Ima go straight to my local Tiffanys, Louis Vuitton and Neimans and loot them places. TFC!! SH
SH — seriously, can you imagine if we did that?!! The last time we had looting in Los Angeles there was talk that they would move into the 3 Bs the next time — Beverly HIlls, Bel Air, and Brentwood. That was a scary thought.
Hers: Makes me sick everytime some little incident occurs, there are people looting stores! Damn!! Howz about if we all get together and bust up a Nordstrom’s! TFC!! SH
Miles, just curious, because you mention Reagan and Lincoln, are you speaking from a political stance, or do you agree men in power in general, Dems and Repubs alike, have done evil and screwed up this country? Just curious as to where you are comin from. : )
I see things like they are and unlike most of Americans today, I’m a free thinker and can actually tell right from wrong. I live in the south, but I was born in the North, have traveled and lived many places because of my work and skills, for short periods of time in most just about everywhere. As far as my overseas credentials, well, let me see, North Africa, just about all of Europe (loved Ireland), and lots of Asia, meaning China and Japan.
So, now that you understand where I have been, I guess the best answer to your question is that I’m not for or against any political party, but I can say that our elected officials and our big business interests have waged war against us ( the sheeple) and they are are winning by shipping jobs abroad and making the middle class do a lot more for a lot less and much of that is due to Clinton’s NAFTA policy. Too bad nobody took Ross Perot seriously.
Miles: We love free thinkers at SH… especially free thinkers who actually know right from wrong. AND these Housewives shows have all gone wrong. TFC!! SH
You can also thank Mr Clinton for the banking crisis and all that followed by removing the
The Glass–Steagall Act. What was he thinking?
@ Cyn The financial meltdown began with the passing of Community Reinvest Act in ’77 – good ole Jimmy Carter, Clinton turbo charged it.
http://reason.com/blog/2012/12/21/study-says-community-reinvestment-act-in
Thanks for the info. I’m always reading something.
I loved Ireland too…
That’s true Miles, I agree with you, and was just wondering.
Ok, the only damn reason that ‘freeing the slaves’ is such a dramatic part of our country’s history was because the North could not IN A COST EFFECTIVE WAY KEEP THEM. If the North couldnt have them, no one can…It had nothing to do with ‘what was right’, if that were the case the unratified version of the Constitution would have been the ratifed version and there would’ve been no slavery in America period.
Read Andersonville, and read about how Sherman also used and slaughtered thousands of freed slaves b/c they became a hindrance to his movements so they were led to slaughter by water.
The standard Americans understanding of their own history is wretched, and getting worse since poor school districts are provided completely inaccurate accounts of historic issues, causes and effects and you can all thank fast food franchises for this- they subsidize ‘educational materials’ to get their products into low income districts.
People need to do more reading, and a hellava lot more critical thinking.
The history textbooks are rife with inaccuracies and out and out lies. I point out these untruths to my son, but sadly, advise him to regurgitate the lies to please the teachers so that he will not be penalized in his grade for speaking the truth.
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act”–George Orwell.
I do the same, sadly and regretfully.
@ Ana One of my favorite quotes, are you my sister from another mother? Lol! For the record, this revisionist history bores me…
miles, I am sorry for your losses this past year. I wish you peace and happiness in the coming year. I love your thoughts. Keep sharing them on SH! Happy New Year!
Miles, you brought a tear to my eyes… You have been through so much this year…I thought I had a bad year, but you made mine seem petty.. I pray for you, for strength, a smile, perhaps a laugh… And if I could, let’s pretend, I’m giving you a great big hug, and wishing you Happy New Year… From one sh blogger to another…
I am so sorry about losses Miles. I lost my little brother and my nephew 2 weeks apart last year. You are correct about the mental health epidemic. My nephew took is life, he refused to be hospitalized again or take any medication even after voluntarily being committed 2 yrs. before. Our hands were basically tied and we wouldn’t have been able to stop him. I often wonder if we could have forced him to get help, I guess we will never know. You never get “over” the loss of a loved one but there is hope you can get thru it like I am trying to every day. I hope this new year will be better for you and once again I feel for you and you’re losses.
Miles, I too have been to Dachau. My parents took us as children. I am sure that there are many here who if you know exactly what Dachau was would argue that this is far to harsh for children but it made an impression on me that few things in my life have. It forever changed and shaped me has a human being. If you think you have seen evil before you will surely will once you visit a place like Dachau. In the memorials that were created a generation later any and every picture of Hitler or his cohorts have their eyes scratched out. People have long memories for things like that. I know that I will always remember.
Miles, my father in law was one of the soldiers that liberated Dachau and had to help in the “clean-up” (I seriously don’t know how to put it). Talk about haunting. And he was full blown Native American so just imagine what his thoughts were.
There was a website I had bookmarked somewhere Its cataloged all the camps and gave a detailed history on what went on there, it had pictures as well. I stumbled across it and it had a profound effect on me. I will see if i can find it.
http://www.scrapbookpages.com/index.html here it is, I will forwarn its it graphic in some places so proceed with caution, but its a real good site if you want to learn more about what happened. like i said it had a profound effect on me.
I can’t look at that. I read The Hiding Place as a kid, and it greatly impacted me. Tried to read it again not that long ago, and I couldn’t get past the first page or two.
I understand I couldnt look at the pictures but just read the history part even that it was hard.
But it’s important that we understand and don’t forget.
Yes it is.
I worked with a young lady a few yrs ago she said she was taught Hitler and other were just some Generals in WW2 she claimed she had no idea what horrors went on in WW2. She was Japenese and thought the Concentraion camps her Mom and Gmom where in here in hawaii were the same as the ones in Germany and poland. She said she wasnt taught the horrors in school. I was stunned I lent her my copy of Schindlers list to get a idea. she said she was shocked to learn what had happened.
I agree with you Hers… We must never forget… Evil is everywhere…
Wow, Lisa, I’m shocked that a grown woman didn’t know about the Holocaust!
Thanks Lisa… I love history, good or bad…. I guess just trying to figure out where we are, how we got there… The last sunrise, by Harold Gordon, is an excellent book about the nazis and what they did to Jews… If anybody likes to read… Read this book..
I respectfully disagree. From the mid-70s to mid-80s there was a strong ‘patients rights’ movement generated by the mental health advocate community. Although there were many facets to this movement, one of the primary elements was a re-examination of the criteria for institutionalizing patients.
The point of contention revolved around interpretations of what it meant for a patient to be able to ‘take care of himself.’ Prior to this the interpretation was rather strict; if a patient could not earn an income and provide shelter and food for himself (and if there were no family members able to care for him), then he would normally be institutionalized.
Beginning in the late 70s, the advocacy groups began to demand a lower standard. As long as a patient could merely wash and dress himself, and could perform the mechanical tasks of shoveling food into his mouth, then every effort was made to force the institutions to release them. There were many court battles and testifying before the state assemblies trying to stop this lowering of standards. Unsuccessfully.
Predictably, most of the newly discharged patients were unable to take care of themselves in any meaningful sense of the word, and became the homeless people on the street. It’s no coincidence that the decline in the state’s mental health institution population closely matched the sharp increase of homeless during the same period. Reeagan was not involved in this movement. Quite the contrary. The people who ‘liberated’ the inmates tended to be on the opposite end of the political spectrum. In fact, it was the ACLU who provided legal representation to force the VA to release these patients.
Isn’t there someting about the imminent threat rule in these situations as well. We went through this with a family member a few years ago. He would stop taking his meds. and spiral out of control, often self medicating with alcohol and drugs. Eventually he would self distruct and we would have him in the phych ward where he would start his meds again and become rational. He desperately needed help but every time he would stabelize they would release him. His poor mother tried every legal avenue she could find and found the system to be very unhelpful. When he turned 18 she no longer had any influance at all and for now he has done moderately well but his mother (who is not rich) pays for his apartment (she can NOT have him in her home because he becomes violent) because he can not hold a job. Sometime it seems as if these patients are set up to fail with the current laws in place they are never truely in an institution long enough to have long term success and end up in the prison system where they are even less adept at dealing with the problems.
@sd The laws had to be changed, it was far too easy to institutionalize people at one time. Now it is at the other end of the spectrum, nearly impossible. The entire system needs to be revamped and shades of grey must be confronted.
I remember that the Baily act was passed because people were having relatives commited for any reason at all most notably to obtain an inheratince if I remember correctly. The revamp was done with SOME good intention but the outcome has become a nightmare for families without means to navigate.
I said baily and it is actually the Baker act
both my uncles were intutionalized as teens both where sterilized to aviod them from pro creating at a later date. I sit on the fence on weither its ok to make people take their meds . i dunno what the answer is
@Adios — I know next to nothing about the mental health system, but you might be right. Didn’t I read something about the Sandy Hook killer finding out that his mother had instituted legal proceedings to have him institutionalized, and that’s why he snapped — out of fear of being locked up?
@ Hers It was hearsay from a “friend”. No evidence to confirm. I doubt it, the mother was visiting different states/countries ( she had traveled to the UK) to find a school that her precious little darling could attend and she was going to relocate if need be for the little darling.
Oh, okay. Can’t imagine a parent leaving guns accessible to a mentally off-the-hook child, let alone taking him to target practice. Sick.
@ Hers That is beyond comprehension to me…I have to venture the mother wasn’t all there either. Why hadn’t the brother or father spoken to either of them in TWO YEARS???
Ditto.
Cont: I know that if I had a mentally ill child/sibling I would have been involved, unless the mother was too set in her thinking in regards to the severity of her child’s insanity or perhaps contributed to it further by making herself the center of his universe. Helicopter parenting to the extreme? An unbalanced child with an unbalanced mother = murderous nut? Wouldn’t be the first time… Idk… I wish we had more info.
It certainly sounds like that to me — the unbalanced mom with the unbalanced child part. I heard they were going to examine the murderer’s brain. We’ll see what they find.
@ Hers and all here @ Sh
Have a safe and happy New Year’s celebration and may the coming year be prosperous, healthy and, most of all, filled with love and happiness!
Love,
Adios
Back at you, Adios, and same to SH and everyone here.
Miles, your words hit close to home. My town of Webster,N.Y. has been a victim of madness recently. Today I watched a funeral for a 19 kid, a volunter who was ambushed by a madman. Our community weeps for the families and in coming days will question how a convicted grandmother killer was allowed to walk among us. May God bless us all.
I don’t believe that it is just “white money” that pays for those government programs; the money comes from the American taxpayers and those American taxpayers come in many colors and from many racial backgrounds.
tulsa: Unfortunately, the facts can be backed up by numbers: the US population consists of 78% white and 13% black… http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/00000.html Look for yourself at who is payin’ for what! TFC!! SH
and OVER 50% OF AMERICANS DO NOT PAY TAXES ANYMORE. IT USED TO BE ONLY 18% BUT NOW OVER 50% AND OVER 50% OF HISPANIC IMMIGRANTS ARE ON GOVT WELFARE PROGRAMS AS JUST RELEASED BY THE GOV’T WELFARE BOARD ASST NUMBERS.. so it is pretty hard to argue with all those figures.
the salamis crashing the state dinner was my fav episode. i’ve always wondered if in fact they sat down and had dinner.
No, they didn’t because they were not on the guest list. They received the bum’s rush well before that.
Dear SH,
To *really* care about any of this would be pointless. Bravo‘s reality shows are about as “real” as Oz and MissAndy is about as genuine as the little man behind the curtain. Any Bravo burnout you’re suffering is completely understandable. I watch the actual shows less and less and instead come to your site for the hilarious updates and posters’ comments. If and when you come to the point that it’s all just too ridiculous, I’ll get it and so, I’m sure, will all your many loyal readers. To research and write about all of this and to present it in such an entertaining way represents a lot of hard work on your part and we know and appreciate it. So kudos and thanks to you for all the fun you’ve provided over the years. And, all my best to you for a happy and healthy 2013!
I agree with you Ms. Thang,
The shows are so predictable, when I do watch I feel like an idiot, wasting my time… It use to be entertaining, but its just disturbing now… I get my hw. Fix on Ms SH now… But occasionally I will sneak peak, after the first show has already aired… I won’t give them any ratings… HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY FRIEND ON THIS SITE.. I really enjoy the laughs, the caring that we all share together… The best 2013 to everyone…
Heard an intersting piece on NPR today. A former writer and producer of reality television outed these shows. Scripts being handed out, lines being fed during filming, the works. We all knew this but it was gratifying to hear from an inside source.
yup its all scrited including the “ambush” scene so many people use as proof chewbacca guidice is being bullied took 7 hrs and many takes to get it right..thats not bullying thats rehearsing a scene from a script. Ms SH blew the cover off that.
Yeah, this producer said the directors often hide under counters or tables next to the “actors ” in a scene. The director will tell them to put more meaning into their lines or slow down or wave your arms around for emphasis. The source on NPR also said they change names, add family members, delete family members,etc. Again, we all knew this so who are they trying to fool?
At a wedding earlier in the year I was talking to an Australian reality tv producer who complained about script writers having bad grammar. Her current show is one of the top rated reality shows in the country at the moment.
I think we need a Juicy Joe ruling on all of this!
I actually am loving Duck Dynasty too, like some other posters said before me. I think we need some positive, hysterical, actual FAMILY role models – whether gay or straight. Not so much arguing and weird people.
My dream boot and or add list:
Atlanta – boot Nene, done with her.
boot Kenya already. She’s been acting since she showed up, probably created an outline of shit to do and say on the show, and her ugly know it all face can get out.
add back Sheree, I kind of liked her and don’t know why she was given the door.
add younger newer cast members that actually know celebrities
NJ – replace everyone or cancel the show. They’re all such loser scum.
OC – boot Tamra, she’s the douchebag we all don’t talk to since high school.
boot Vicki, keep her as a repeat drop- in and add Brianna
boot Heather – fake, know it all, annoying
boot Gretchen just to FINALLY get Slade off the screen
We really need some new blood here, there’s a lot of potential for newer, younger and more interesting HW of OC
BH – drug and dump Shana in a trash bin that will compact her up and chuck her out
boot Adrienne
boot Kyle and Kim
again, newer, younger more interesting people, lets rotate out these weirdos with some new blood, just like the rich husbands of BH do.
probably time for Lisa to go too, what with the new show and all
NY – boot Ramona, enough of her psycho eyes
boot PT, another mactress
boot the Countess and her fake baby story
add in some actual rich people that take NY by storm
Add in gay WOMEN with families taking on their city by storm.
That’s my wish list, not that anyone cares, least of all Andy. lol.
Lol, we watch Duck Dynasty too. Ms. K ain’t no joke!
Love Duck Dynasty. They don’t try to pretend that they are being “real” or having an agenda. Just fun, silly stuff. Finally they can show a southern family with it’s quirkiness but not super disgusting like Honey boo boo. Sorry Honey boo boo fans, I just can’t take all that burping and farting for intertainment.
My dream is a Real Hosewives season of Survivor with all my favorites on an island together. Two tribes. That would please me. Oh, and Miss Andy.
YES!!! That would be awesome!
If the HW shows are to continue, I want them to get rid of the guys (they AREN’T HWs) and keep the kids (adult and children) to a minimum, especially the Manzo “kids”. Don’t like them, don’t want to hear or see them. The guys add nothing.
I disagree. The Guidice kids are my favorite part of that show!
Mine also. Can’t wait to see what mischief Milania will get into next and Gia is sweet and wise.
From all appearances, they’re well-adjusted, confident, funny kids. I do worry about the repercussions to them being on the show themselves, or having their parents’ foibles televised for the world to see.
Ditto, Embee.
Whatever you see is fake and specifically for the cameras. Those poor girls have a skewed version of life and are in for a big surprise when dad goes to the ‘big house’.
I almost feel bad, but you know, they’ll always have some warped reality of, well, ‘reality’, as it were. ugh.
If Ms Andy would just stop calling these reality and just call them the soap operas that they really are. Better scripts and real actors and modern day Peyton Places would be nice. Ya’ll are scaring me again with that Illuminati stuff. You did the same to me last time you brought it up and I googled it for days. Is that for real? I’m easy to fall for conspiracies so please share. Thanks to all and Happy New Year!
Happy New Year.
Scariest thing I have read lately is about the Collins Elite. Because it deals with Demonic beings and Satan’s final lie.
Don’t get me started on the Illuninati. I’m hiding under my bed right now so they don’t get me with their bio chip tracking device. jk
so that’s what that lump is in my arm……
They got you?
Oh no, one down…
Don’t tell them where I am!
Happy New Year, cherry!
ahaha! yep. Happy New year romo!
I’m so bored with these shows. I download them, but rarely end up watching.
Happy new year everybody!! It’s almost New Years here and I’m waiting at an airport in the outback.
Happy New Year!!!!
Happy New Year, panda!
Happy New Year, Panda. Wishing you and your family and friends the very best in 2013!
You are SO RIGHT SH!!!!!! (Que the Don Henley; “The End of the Innocence” song)..We’re on to these shows… We know that REALITY on TV is FAKE… You do a great job of pointing out how stoopid these reality stars are. Somewhere behind a curtain Andy is pulling the strings and laughing all the way to the bank.
Keep up the great work SH…You are AMAZING and THAT IS REALITY!!!!
Made…MY GOD YOU’RE FAST!!!
Thanks for posting this…lol
No problem
So SH, are you guys gonna post the Atlanta recap or what? please respond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks:)
This made me smile.
I watched a few minutes of that Sin City crap tonight. I saw one broad who looks like Elvira attacking the reporter blonde girl on the phone like it was a high school slumber party, trying to discredit her and lead the others. Then they went off to walk around lookin for UFO’S, because “Elvira” thinks she is an alien, and have a quack read their “chakras”.. never again. Total crapola.
See.. More Evil Evolution crap. And what a strange name huh? Evolution? Anyways aliens are demons.
Guess who else George Knapp interviewed?
Yes, I think that because so many of us have felt it lately, the strange shift in the world, that there is somethin amiss. It is funny when you post something about it, there’s other commentors who agree and are freaked out, so now I know I’m not just goin crazy. It has been comin for some time now. My hubby showed me some parts of “The Song Remains the Same” the other night, and I was shocked at the darkness in it. He also showed me the pics of the Eagles in the Church of Satan. Now, I know rockers may just use satanic crap commercially to be “cool”, but the continuance of it and the overlap into hip hop and pop culture is scary. All these hw’s prancin around in hooker clothes and worshipping fame and money, while they relentlessly hurt each other is gettin old. The ufo fascination, the satanic overtones, and the total lack of common morality nowadays goes against the basic Christian ethics of simplicity, modesty, and trusting in God. It is scary because these half wits don’t even understand the basic premise of satan, he does not care for you or want well for you….
Kel, you are so right, and ITA. I was thinking the other day that another virtue that has basically disappeared from today’s culture is humility. We’ve gone so far afield.
Ba haa, humility? What’s that? We’ve got people like Mego and a ton of the other hw’s and reality stars that have done nothing to make humanity better, yet they are hell bent on proving they are special or interesting or better than the rest of us. Look at me, Loooook at meeee. It’s an epidemic. My mom thought Kim Kardashian was a nice cool gal, til I told her to google her accomplishments and her porn video….lol.
Poor Kim K. She’s another one who’s gone off track in life. Sad.
Kim K and Kanye are knocked up. I heard that this morning and almost barfed. This whore is still not divorced from Kris Humphries.
That’s about a hot mess.
Kim’s hitting the jackpot! Child support from Kanye! Whoohoo!!!!! Let’s see how fast she can spit out #2, a la Kim Z.
I heard that too.. Why can’t she wait until she’s divorced…. Kim is not a nice person, she’s nothing, a porn star…
There was a huge photo of her on the jumbotron at our local mall the other day. I didn’t know why, but maybe this baby news is why?
For some reason, I just can’t feature already overdone Kim giving birth….can’t help but wonder if she will actually give birth, or use someone else to do it for her. She has used that body way too many years for money for me to see her chancing messing it up for a baby. Plus, she thinks too much about herself to love anything more than herself. I guess we’ll soon see….perhaps she’ll expose her big belly on a mag for a few million..but even then I may think they just put a fake belly bump on her.
She’ll probably pull a Beyonce (“allegedly”) and use a surrogate, so she can say she lost the baby weight in 2 months.
i guess i must be a half wit i dont believe in christainity or church i belief in some of the new age teachings i believe in bigfoot,ghosts and UFOs. I am moral and kind to others and am a simple person and i dont worship satan but thanks for painting me as a evil person with that big paintbrush of yours ill remember that next time i say something bad about christains and christinity.
Lisa, I know she didn’t mean it that way. She was referring to celebrities who basically sell their souls for fame and money.
maybe maybe not, but its not the first time believers in non christain religions are degraded on here i made a comment on christains once and hell broke lose on me so i sit here wondering why its ok to mock non christains but christains are off limits.
i am not from the devil or influnced by the devil or demons because i choose another path to spiritality and believe in other non traditional things.
Well, I’m sorry if I’ve ever insulted you that way.
No you havnt you are entitled to your opinion, its the double standard I do not like. I have opnions about religions but I am not allowed to express them or a sytestorm happens.
I remember there was one time it got bad.
Lisa, I agree with you. It is not in reference to anyone or any post here per say but I live in an area that has a very strong point of view and it is the majority and it is a very steadfast view no room for interpretation and I feel very uncomfortable discussing many things. The funny thing is I don’t always disagree with people but the reasons I agree may be very different from theirs. Once I had someone that worked for me in the warehouse, he was very differant from his co-workers in many ways and they really didn’t like him. I myself found some of the things he said and did a little off putting as well but I like people that are a little different or off so I always enjoyed talking to him. One day I went back there and the whole crew was discussing poletics. To me, this and religion should be strictly forbidden in the work place. Too many differnt opionions and passionate feelings about these things can cause issues. If you really feel you must discuss these things do it on someone elses dime. “Robert” had an opposing view compared to his peers and had been listening to them bash his choice of candidate all day and finally disagreed with them out loud. The group became very vocal and very upset. One woman came very close to violence. I walked in on this and basically threatened to write every single one of them up on several violations that they were breaking just stopping work in the first place and other human resources issues after that. I pulled him aside and they all assumed he was in trouble. This made them happy so they all went back to work. I warned him that as frustrating as it is sometimes you have to be careful. He agreed and never mentioned it again. I have had an other co worker at the same place in the same area demand to know my opion on things like that. I would always decline to answer. One man (and it’s funny because he was one of my favorite people to work with) would constantly try to bait me or get my opinion because he suspected my idilology on certian things because of my Europen back ground. I never took the bait, ever! I tell this on here because I enjoy a certain anonimity. I know there is freedom of speach but sometimes it is just eaiser to hold dear your ideas and feelings because others will not value them or understand them as you do yourself and I find it disheartening to lend people who only want to disagree with you things that are dear to you and that define you as a person. For those of you that have the courage to always say your mind and feelings I take my hat off to you for your fierceness. P.S. I actually had that same man, who knew that I was Catholic, tell me one day that he could tell me all the things that were wrong with my religion. I told him the fact that he said that told me everything I needed to know about his, so no thank you!
I take my hat off to Lisa, too. We may not agree on everything, but I admire how you hold your own with dignity, Lisa. I had a boss that insisted on talking about politics at work, and it made me very uncomfortable. He also talked about his love life, which also made me uncomfortable. It’s hard when it’s your boss.
Satanism is not just a non-Christian religion, I think you’d agree that people who are into Satan are not into the well being of others nor are they savory people. I don’t consider Satanism to even really be a “religion”, I think it’s more of an anti-religion, isn’t it? I’m not “mocking” non-Christians, wouldn’t you agree the people that sit around in circles sacrificing helpless animals, are evil? How PC are we that we now must be kind to Satanists? Really?
You dont have to be kind to anyone if you dont wish to But next time i say something negative about christains I will expect not to be called names or mocked like i have been before.
Why would you say anything about Christians? And I don’t recall “mocking” you. Satanism is downright nasty, c’mon, you know that’s a different issue than any religion…and Happy new year!
because i do not believe in The Christain God i believe in alternative forms of spiritality.
Ok, well I think I’ve mocked Santeria and satantic stuff, so as long as you aren’t a Santeria priestess or a cloaked satan worshiper, we are ok. Lol. There are spiritual aspects to life that don’t always directly involve religion. My beef is with hocus pocus mumbo jumbo, talkin to the “dead”, and those that mock Christians, Jews, Catholics, etc. And by mock I don’t mean jokes like calling Tre a saint, etc, I mean out and out calling everyone who believes in God wrong, which I don’t think you did?
well i do believe there are those who have gifts like to tell the future and talk to the dead, i do however believe there are charlatons who claim they do but cant. Santeria is a old religion brought to this country by slaves i dont think its partcularly a bad religion imo but then i have looked into the history of it before i made judgements,
Ok, well then we’ll have to differ there…I think religion aside, talkin to the dead is not smart. You don’t know who, or what, you are talkin to and what their intentions are. I think the best policy is to just be as simplistic and moral as you can be. I think too many people believe the crap people tryin to make a buck, and get lost in the mumbo jumbo, when all you gotta do in life is be real and humble. I think you’d agree..
@ Kel I could not agree more. I have never insisted anyone believe as I do nor would I ever force my views on anyone. THE only thing I pray for is that those that do not believe that they at least adhere to 5-10 of the Ten Commandments – the religion neutral ones,for lack of a better description –
1. Do not worship other gods.
2. Do not worship idols.
3. Do not misuse God’s name.
4. Keep the Sabbath holy.
5. Honor your father & mother.
6. Do not murder.
7. Do not commit adultery.
8. Do not steal.
9. Do not lie.
10. Do not covet.
I couldn’t bear to post a partial list… If only everyone stuck to this beautifully simplistic yet masterful blueprint on how to conduct our everyday life it would be a much happier, more loving world.
It seems that this world we live in has actually “glamorized” going against every one of these edicts as THE way to happiness. How incredibly sad for all of us, believers and non-believers.
BTW I love you all and pray for all. I am an equal opportunity pray-er!
and happy new yr to you
I’m referring to the half-wits that follow Satan, that think it is cool to follow the devil and cool to be “dark”, etc. If you don’t worship Satan, Lisa, then I don’t know why you would worry about it.
There is sooo much on youtube about the backards record playing messages. Freakity . Some is obvious reachin but some is hair stand up stuff. there is this thing called backmasking near as I can tell it removes all the layers of crap that the new produced stuff(autotune n stuff) applies and then plays that backwards. If you root about long enough in it you will eventually come across Obama’s Yes we Can speach backwards. Go pee first. and turn on all de lights.
the beatles backmasted their recordings it was actually quite common in the 60s and 70s
@ Made Hahahahahahaha, OM gosh, that is freakin’ hysterical!
Kinda makes ya wonder what Tayloer Swift is up to huh?
nah she is busy dating everything with nads
Yeah wehn she breals up with that harry one direction dude she will have a new song
She really is a nutcase, if you ask me. A horrible role model for young girls. Teaching them to be in anguish every time a guy doesn’t look at them. Sheesh!!
I know what you are saying. I stalk my kids friends facebook pages sometimes via the newsfeeds and its really sad some of the things these girls say
wonder why they did that?
lots of artist did it back then.
but why?
shits and giggles
I will tell yall right now I will whoop my child up side his head if he gets famous and pulls that crap.
i dunno if its so popular now
accordin to youtubes it is:)
do you believe everything you see on youtube
I know. Like I said lots of it is bull crap but you being into the conspiracies like I am know all about the disinformation we swim through over there.
i was teasing you silliness
I knowd that. Love ya Lis
maybe he will say nice things about his mom in his
He better just say that outright.
Gabe’s evil backward masking would say “Jacqueline rocks and Teresa sucks.”
hmmmmmm
Well, you know how backwards masking is always evil and untruthful — ha ha!!
I know Made, I saw some of that for Led Zepp and it was pretty creepy. Some was gargled nonsense, but some was pretty wierd.
The Miley Cyrus one is creepy. The Climb backwards.
I expect Xenu dropped her off somewhere in the desert on her head. Ho hum. BOooooring. Lana still looks like a damn turkey buzzard. Quelle excite, let’s go trespassing on some folks’ land. For a “designer” she sure does wear some ugly clothes.
Lana is one of the freakiest looking people I’ve ever laid eyes on. She thinks she’s beautiful, but she has no clue how bizarre she looks to the rest of us.
I realize Lana is like a character out of a David Lynch movie. I could have seen her in Blue Velvet.
when i lived down in the burg i enjoyed listening to coast to coast while working. maybe i am a little demonic because i almost peed my pants when the “here kitty kitty” pic scrolled down. ms hs that was too damned funny. thanks for the chuckle
I am beyond grossed out every time they pull a poor dead cat out of some disgusting hoarder’s house and they’re just so astounded that the poor cat is dead. Those sphincter muscles ought to be prosecuted for cruelty to animals.
ITA, and I’ve stopped watching the hoarder shows for that reason. Can’t stand to see or hear anything bad about animals.
to anyone here who has a sick pet or one so ill, it will have to be put down, my heart goes out to you. we’ve cried our eyes out here too. have 3 cats now. two are brother and sister and one belonged to my late sister who died in 2011. when they are gone, no more. to me, losing a pet is like losing a very important and loving family member. it just breaks my heart and my husband’s heart.
as for bravo, i still love andy. i still watch all the housewives and i absolutely love “the shahs of sunset.” i also watch “wife swap” and “project runway,” so i am not totally bravo. i do wish andy would spend more time interviewing his guests than playing games on the show. boy, my life has gone downhill. i remember when i used to spend my days watching c-span and c-span 2. lol
Unfortunately almost all of those news channels aren’t reality either. Well maybe it is reality somewhat, but it’s twisted to their agenda reality.
Heck we have people here talking about what we learned as history isn’t real either.
I watch the housewives shows, etc. knowing full well the “reality” of it. Heck I love HGTV and some of those shows aren’t as real as they want us to believe either. I got turned off of scripted tv because of the ridiculous salaries some of these people were bringing in. For what? How much talent does it really take? I watch tv commercials with some darn good acting in them too and these people are “nobodies.” (I actually hate saying it that way.)
I remember the big question being “What IS normal”? Now it’s “What IS real”? And I’m not just talking about the Real Housewives either.
I hear you dch60. I am also turned off by celebrity salaries. I watch the movies and realize a kid in acting school could probably have done just as good a job. Seriously, is Reese Witherspoon’s talent worth millions?
I think most of the character actors out there are the real talents. For instance, the brother on iCarly was very talented.
I forgot to address what I really wanted to address in the first place. My heart also goes out to those with sick pets who’s time is nearly up. I have two largish dogs, 12 and 13. One of my three cats is 14. Not long ago I lost my two fur baby kitties, brother and sister, a few months apart. I loved them to death and still cry about losing them. Losing a pet IS losing a family member. A very VERY important family member. I’m so sorry to hear someone say “when my pet goes, that’s it for me.” There are so many pets out there that need loving homes. Yes it is difficult to lose them… but, and I’m getting cliche here but it’s true… It’s better to have loved and lost to have never loved at all. There’s not once I said to myself, I wish I never got my *pet* because it was too hard when I lost him/her. But to each their own.
Again, those who are close to losing their beloved fur baby, my heart breaks for you… never forget the joy they brought. Never forget what a blessing you were to that pet either. Feel joy that you provided a loving home for them while they were here.
Wise words, dch. I’ve rescued many a pet, and the loss when they go is wrenching. But the love they provide can’t be measured, and neither can the knowledge that you saved a life and gave him/her a great and loving home.
The love they give you is a gift… I have had 3 dogs… I thought I will never have another, but I did, and there is room, and love for all. Kind of like your kids, grandchildren… Always love.
Completely off topic but I have been lurking here for the longest time and visit everyday……..sometimes more than a few times ;o) and I just want to thank all of you for making me smile each and every day. MadePiley you have me laughing out loud on many occasion you really do. Everyone does but you’re the main instigator and the video clips you post are always great. Anyhoo I just wanted to say thankyou all for making me smile/LOL for quite a big portion of this year and Happy New Year from here in Oz.
) And to Ms SH, thankyou for having such a wonderful site. It keeps me sane/insane depending on the day/topic.
I may not post much even now that I’m out of the closet but I’m always reading and laughing and rolling my eyes with the rest of you
Welcome, TahliKell!
Welcome, we love company here..it’s comfy…
Hello Tahlikell, I’m fairly new here, too, but heard much about the site from the Bravo message boards and came here often to read and get a laugh! Now, after I’ve read more and more about the Mandy business, maybe that’s why they shut down the message board…..it was regularly listed as where to get good info, as were some other places. Maybe also, that’s why they are letting more comments go through since they did away with the message board….before that they would never, ever let my post go through….or others, either, we were all wondering how some post got posted but none of ours could! Mine go through over there regularly now….anyways, welcome to SH from one newcomer to another!
Thoughts and prayers to the ailing pet, I know how you feel….I said I wasn’t ever going to get another pet again after my last one…but my Maggie is laying right here beside me napping!
Hers,Shelagh and Holey thankyou for the warm welcome. I think I’m becoming like most here and come here for the news on the housewives rather than watch. I’ve noticed too Holey that they are letting more and more negative comments through on the bravo blogs. I often wonder though if they read them as much as they read this site.
Highly doubted ;o) I’ve posted a few times there………..even under different names to see if that would make a difference but not one has got through so gave up.
I only venture over there now to see the amount of negative comments LOL
Nice rant, Ms. SH!
To answer your question, I only care about the cat.
Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife top my list. And then I’m going read more.
cherry: Can’t get into Downton Abbey as it’s a lame imitation of “Upstairs, Downstairs”… the original is the best! TFC!! SH
My absolute favorite show is Mad Men. Now that is great script writing and the symbolism in the scenes is fascinating, not to mention the wardrobes and attention to detail from that era. I can’t imagine the blog threads from the SH crew if we hashed this show out and the great conversation and POV’s. If any of you haven’t watched this show I highly recommend it but you should start from S1 on Netflix and get caught up before the new season starts.
Thx for the tip. Just might do that, HH.
ITA. Madmen is my absolute favorite. I remember the 60′s and my father looked and dressed just like Don Draper; only a lot better morals. Time for these so-called reality shows to end and a new era of quality scripted and acted dramas and comedies.
I am watching old twilight zone episodes, women all wore dresses, men wore hats kids behaved and didnt talk back to adults The good old days.
You mean no kids called their dads old trolls? Sorry, couldn’t resist, Lisa.
Its ok.
I plan to watch Upstairs Downstairs on netflix. Your recomendation seals the deal
Swamp People. The ultimate reality show, and that’s a set-up too.
I watch these dopey shows for sheer entertainment, if they are not entertaining, the remote goes “click”. btw, by now everyone must have heard that Kim K is pregnant. Even though she is still married. Isn’t it the law that it is legally your husband’s child? I smell another HW show. The Real “Who’s the Baby Daddy” Hos.
Thank you, SH. I am totally over these POS shows. Even if I’m flipping channels and land on Bravo, I can only take five or ten minutes of it. If you watch it without wondering if it’s fake–but knowing it–it’s just plain unwatchable. Really poor acting, sub-zero storytelling, and a whole lot of debasement of women going on. And…it all reflects what Bravo thinks of viewers, which is not much. I don’t believe that any of these women hate each other to the extent they’re putting on, which is even more disgusting (who does that? who pretends to hate someone in real life and manufacture nothing but negativity just for money? eww).
Plus, something that’s been bothering me since RHONJ is the way these comment threads get so heated and people will show up out of the blue who have way too much personal interest in the characters. It feels creepy when they show up–more idiotic manipulation–so I back off until the regulars take back the boards and you poof the trolls. I think Bravo is scripting more than these fake reality shows–it’s trying to script all the discussion about them on blogs like this. SH is the only one I’ve seen that shuts it down.
There are much better shows on tv and I think we’ll finally see the pendulum swing back to professionally scripted, acted and produced dramas that we can all feel good about debating without wondering if one of the characters or her proxies are posing as a commenter.
@ Inkpop ITA!!
You make such good points! I can’t deal with the NJ boards anylonger. People get so mad and start saying disgusting things about other commenters. I quit watching Atlanta with no problem at all, I thought I could never give up BH but this year has been luke warm. I think for my own mental health I am going to pass on NJ and just read Sandi’s recaps.I am weening myself from these shows on Bravo.
ITA — NJ comments get skinny way too fast.
hahaha–skinny is the new crazy.
Good motto for RHONJ posts.
Thank you everyone for a great year. Like Miles, as I said before, this site and its fun wacky opinionated posters has gotten me through some dark times.
Ms SH you read my mind! I have sworn off everything on Bravo, especially Ms Andy. I still lurk on your site and many others, but rarely comment because I feel like I can’t since I really don’t watch the actual shows. All of Bravo has just gotten too nasty, silly and mean spirited for me to bother with. My New Year’s Resolution is to stop supporting things that don’t reflect the way I’d like America to be. It’s hard to embrace loving your neighbor and being kind if all we watch is trash tv. I might not be able to change the world, but I can change my little part in it, and if that means shutting off “reality” tv, then so be it.
Excellent post. Can’t be nice to each other if we all fill our minds with hate/garbage provided most readily by Bravo.
Hear! Hear! Bravo’s gutter mentality has reached a new low (as if a suicide wasn’t proof enough). I’ve been watching HW’s since the first season of Orange County. No more. Done. Done. Done.
just want to add that I posted something similar on Andy’s Happy New Year facebook post -and was roundly criticized for it by many of his fans. I was called a battle ax and told to change the channel…apparently Andy’s fans can’t read cuz I had already said I wasn’t going to watch! Oh well, this battle ax still thinks it’s the right thing to do!
It’s always funny to be insulted by someone who didn’t even read your post correctly, isn’t it? Wear the Battle Axe badge with pride, Cammierari — just consider the source.
Are you kidding? I would never let these shows influence me or my behavior. Just like rock and roll never destroyed me like so many parents of that era said it would.
I don’t know about that. I think many minds are more malleable than others, and it’s best to fill our minds with positive things. Phil 4:8
I was watching Mystery Diner the other day and realized that was fake, too. It’s stupid. Why fake these shows? I felt bad for Brandi until I came to this site and started reading and realized it’s all probably a set up to help her get more attention and more $. There are so many ppl on the Brandi team it isn’t funny. And these ppl live *very* well…why in the heck would I buy their CRAP and make them richer? They wouldn’t know an honest days work if it bit them in the a$$! Why do I want to sit and watch them spend more money in a weekend than I make in a year? I started to feel like they’re grinding my face in it. Basically, they are without scruples and will do just about anything to be famous and make a buck including USING YOU…the “audience!” All this bad behavior is to get more ratings and MORE MONEY. Meanwhile I have to bust my hump in the cold to make it. Not to mention these “ladies” aren’t the brightest pegs in the light brite board. (Have you read Brandi’s posts????) Would I want the children I work with to behave like these females? No. I’m just aggravated that theres SO MUCH manipulation and fabrication.. So much time and energy I’ve wasted… these ppl arent myfamily and they dont give a sh** about me.
>will do just about anything to be famous and make a buck including USING YOU…the “audience.”< Bingo, Auntie. Well said. It's a sick way to earn a living.
I really enjoyed this article MS SH as I find I really don’t care anymore for so much of the crap TV I watch. I’ve been asking myself in mid-show WHY, WHY are you watching this crap? I used to really enjoy a lot of the Bravo shows and Andy, a few years back, not so much anymore. I’ll probably speed watch through a few HW shows, but for the most part no. Even Top Chef has become routinely boring with their series. Tried Kathy last year twice – a no go TY. Shahs is “so Persian” I can’t stand it this season. Some really average people who pretend to be so wealthy and are so vain and self-important. They think they’re gorgeous – they ain’t, especially Reza. Don’t know who is the most vain and egotistical Shahs or Million Dollar Decorators OMG. Tried SCR it’s even worse than all the HW shows combined. Kiss of death losing its timeslot yesterday. Can’t wait for 2013 return of Mad Men, Downton Abbey, new Judge Mathis, People’s Court some of my old favorites. Trying to get into Duck Dynasty my son recommended I try. So far don’t like it, but far more reality than Bravo shows. Lol. Thanks for the venue to rant and vent. I think we’ll see lots of changes on our TV shows next year. At 5-10 thousand per home It won’t take many to take their Nielsen’s elsewhere to change a few things. Are you listening Bravo & Andy? It happened to Matt Lauer are you next? Lol.
Happy New Year Ms SH, Becky and to all your great readers and commenters. I enjoy everyone’s comments a lot.
The more I see of Sin City Rules, the better it gets and the more I like it! I truly cannot stand Amy H! Amy is a hag and epitomizes everything we hate about white trash!!
However, I love Alicia Jacobs! Alicia is the best thing to come to reality TV in years! I hope SCR loses the trash and continues to Rock!
That would mean losing Svetlana and her trashtastic sister too. Maybe if Bravo produced the show as a RHW franchise it would be doing better – Bravo obviously has better script writers than TLC. If this show isn’t already cancelled I’m wondering how long it’s going to take for someone to start talking about how they always wanted to sing…./eyeroll.
Jersey: SCR is produced by EvolutionMedia… the same production company responsible for Bravo’s OC and BH Housewives. Bravo passed on “Housewives of Las Vegas”; TLC picked up the show and re-named it “Vegas High Rollers” and then “Sin City Rules.” SCR would do no better at Bravo… SCR IS a Bravo-produced show. It’s a huge fail, and would be a huge fail if it aired on Bravo. TFC!! SH
Oh man! Well there it is….the show just sucks! I’m going to have to start taking notes on what production company produces which shows because I didn’t even THINK to take it in to consideration. Thanks for setting me straight!
A little bed time story: Once upon a time in the wonderful land of Hollyweird (SCRATCH) Hollywood, there came a new production company called “Evolution Media.” Everyone had high hopes, and placed high bets on this new and undiscovered land. The trick pony was “no-REAL-talent” and to cut the costs on “how hard can it be” watchabees and wannabees. It worked for awhile….until Dorothy wanted to go back home, because you see..”There’s NO place like home, there’s NO place like home….
Ding Dong…the witch is dead!
LOL! Good one and very accurate!
Happy New Year and THANK YOU ALL for entertaining me more than the housewives ever could, but most of all, people on this site that has inspired me more than I thought possible and I really want to thank you for doing just that!
You make me angry
You make me laugh
You make me cry
You make me feel hopeful
You help me escape
…and then finally you make me WAKE UP!
SH has it all! Happy New year!
Maya, I agree. SH and all of you commenters have given me some great entertainment. Happy 2013 to all!
I would like to say for those posters above that think we are too wrapped up on NJ housewives. It is not so much the indiv housewives, as you get to state your opinion about something unfiltered. When do we ever get to do that. And we can relate to certain things about them. I was bullied by a bunch of self indulgent women on my daughter’s cheer team. I could completely relate to Teresa. I can also relate to a trashy friend who married rich, they lost their money and they still go around like they are the bees knees. If we defend and comment with passion, it is not because we are obsessed with Tre as a person, or me go as a person, but we can just comment how we feel, and we can relate on some level. Except Traylor Trash…that is personal because i think she should go down for manslaughter.
Great comment, Nancy. ITA. That’s why we comment — it’s when we relate to a character and what she’s going through.
I agree. I think that’s why I recently started to side with Teresa over the rest of the shrews on NJ. I’ve been on the receiving end of BS that made no kinda common sense because my so called friends made up what they wanted to hear/needed to believe as opposed to listening to what I SAID. Of course that was back in high school, a little in college, maybe twice in my 20′s. Probably why the majority of my friends were always guys and also probably why I defend the underdog until and unless the underdog makes him/herself unable to defend any longer. Hope that made sense….today I feel like I am posting as if I’ve already gotten in to the bottle of pinot grigio I have right over there on my kitchen counter calling my name!
nancy, I like Teresa a lot; I think Tree and her adorable girls are the Best part of the rhonj show!! The only reason I even watch the show is because of Tree, Joe and their girls! I just wanted you to know that. I’m just tired of Miss Mandy and blavo and their endless manipulation and hatred. Tired of the Manzoids and the likes of MeGo-ho-ho too!
Working today so this was great comic relief! ROTFLMAO! Thanks Ms. SH & Happy New Year to you and all of your readers/commenters!
ah ha..me too..working today. I work for a vehicle donation company, so everyone and their cousin is donating today. Someone shoot me!
Gotta get those last minute deductions
I had actually told ms SH that I had contact Autism Speaks about how shady Miss Jaq is with the whole black water, when they were pushing that people had seen improvements, and the study, etc, since they are a charity I raise a huge amount of money for I speak to the director. I wanted them to at least know the scoop, and then decide what to do from there. I love the soldiers. One of the charities I signed up for injured soldiers..I have raised $250,000 in 4 years. It is fun, but crazy sometimes.
wow That is impressive I work for the Army so I know how much the ijured soldiers need…Thank you.
did autism speaks get back to you?
the director did. he was really candid and funny. He said his wife had just mentioned about the real housewives, and he was going to check into it. I told him that was good enough for me, adn I wouldn’t bother him further about it. I didn’t want to pry into his business..just give the heads up.
You done good
Miss SH and I were on top of it, because it is far too important of an issue to be used by the manipulators of the RHWONJ for personal gain. Most guy directors would never have a clue what these people were up to. I told him to check out their lawsuit, the article on Black water where they say the received reports that it was helping people with autism, etc. What he did with that info is his own business. I raise too much money for them to not have said something though.
nancy: Interesting that the event still took place at the Brownstone. Autism Speaks assured me that there was a rep from AS who was scheduled to be there to oversee the donations. HAH! Someone from AS may have been there, but what does that prove? TFC!! SH
Hi Miss SH. So frustrating. I bet they sent someone and they were star struck…whoever went and gave a glowing review. These charities are wonderful and so dedicated, but aren’t really looking for manipulation where they should. When JAq gets indicted, or tries to say there is a medical connection with black water, I will send the information back to the director. He may catch on.
nancy: All went as planned… as publicized on “SparkleSpeaks,” the site owned by DonCaro’s relative and the site where tickets to the event were sold. The same site where a “fee” was added on for you to print your own ticket! Those Housewives add that “fee” to just about anything, but could not believe the added “fee” for printing a ticket… on your own printer! Unreal… TFC!! SH
unreal..but not surprising as you always say
Frequent reader here (have commented a few times) … but I’d like to thank all of you who comment. (I send a special thank you to Ms. SH for her hard work starting, maintaining, and evolving this site.) You have provided me with hours of entertainment (more than the silly HWs shows) — you are my best therapy when I need a pick-me-up, even when I may not agree w/you. There are a multitude of wise folks who comment here, too many to name and thank individually. Sometimes you share life experiences that I can relate to and/or learn from, and always with such passion. Often your viewpoints have changed the way I look at the world or inspire me to do further research on a topic. The amount of respect shown toward each other is also unlike any site I’ve ever visited (thanks, Ms. SH). I wish ALL of you the best in the coming new year. You are a part of something very precious and unique. Just keep those comments coming!
And same to you, Hoho!
Just noticed that Katfish has a snaggletooth in that picture.
It’s 11:15 p.m east coast time….SO I just wanted to wish everyone on SH a Happy & Healthy New Year!!! Just in case I fall asleep
. Not going out to celebrate New Years eve tonight…staying home.
I love everbody and thaats it. Happy firendchops yall

^ says da bulimic I mint friendships ok?
Let me guess Tree’s new ally will be crazy aka Danielle in the coming season.
Is there any way, to just indent comments, maybe ONE character or so, when multiply (sic) replied to? I don’t read the comments when they are one single word column and I would maybe like to…
I suck, just a thought. lol.
I always started reading when the comments start getting skinny because you know pretty much there is some good back and forth going on
Love the comments. Right up my alley. I woke up years ago. Before the internet and all that. I have read about mind control. The Bilderberg group, elites aka illuminati that really run this country and the world and our presidents. Remember our presidents are selected not elected. That’s why I don’t belong to a political party. We used to be called tin foil people, conspiracy theorists nuts. Guess what? They were right. Their agenda is unfolding, their new world order is here. Please watch the documentary What Are They Spraying on us. This country needs a mass awakening because we’re in so much trouble. half the country doesn’t know that the federal reserve is private not a government entity.
