My coworkers and I are still clowning about it two and half days later. Yesterday, I had a family in and the man really wanted to stand there and order without a mask and say how stupid it was. We were shortstaffed due to a co-worker who might have had a corona scare or just over it at this point (my main place is currently being hit by corona economy times, not helped by my boss's general attitude thus the shortstaffness). So just me, my ocd boss, and a newbie who was on his SECOND day. People skills my boss does not have, nor training skills so I knew if I did not keep it together I would have just quit yesterday...long story But it showed how I've grown in my current position in customer service that I did not snap on this man in front of his family over the fact that IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU. Order the sandwich with MASK ON, keep moving. The fact people cannot seem to get that or worse want to take it out on people when they know this and have known about this since MARCH and have the technology to very quickly look up how to properly wear a mask is maddeningly. And I am the last of my co-workers who has been showing patience over it. And that says something given what has happened to my mother, my brother, and now my sister. About to lose it. Thankfully, I'm off today.

Well accordingly to that page the reading room was open and Karen was ON FIRE at the reunion.

OH...MY...GOODNESS!!! Well...DRAG THEM, LA DAME!!!

RHOD Yeaah, early reports are that the trailer should pop up on Tuesday...if not early. And I'm looking forward to seeing if they really demoted Jennifer from a HW since it seems she was the one bringing the drama starting off the season...and if Tiffany the newbie is feuding with Kameron or is it Kary. NY Someone online reported that Eboni and Bershan got into it on the streets at one point. Curious about that, but looking forward to the diversity. I'm also looking forward to watching the reunion this weekend. Can't wait since I'm late. LOVE. Meanwhile, LuAnn is dating a Hampton trainer. GO, HER!!! The clips that are out there for Episode 3 and upcoming Episode 4 will make your hubby not like her even less I suspect. Just le sigh. ETA: I almost forgot. Yeah, Jen was/is very active online a la Season 1-3 LeeAnne on DALLAS was with fans, getting fans interested so I'm sure she studied other shows. I just hope she doesn't do anything that turns fans on her like LeeAnne did.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

SLC All right...let's see if I can focus. Coffee and motivation down. Two episodes in and I feel SLC is giving us so much. Various feuds (Mary vs Jen, Lisa vs Heather, Lisa vs Whitney). There were definitely real moments going on like Whitney with her father and Meredith's dinner with her husband. The scenery is still divine (pun unintended) and there's even some BTS stuff per @Cat as to the nature of Mary if that TT piece has any truth to it. Because I felt like Heather might have known cuz her look when Mary mentioned Whitney wanted to take her dad to Mary's church said a lot. And seeing the promo for Episode 4 already online...wooo...things are about to pop. And things were already popping... JEN. I am agreeing with @Chris B on this one. I do like Jen, but I'm sorry I'm Team Mary on this feud. It does not seem to get that Mary was (at the time) not talking about her aunt, but the smell. And...sincere or not...Mary APOLOGIZE. Personally, it felt like whether Mary understood or not, she felt she hurt her friend and apologize because it was the right thing to do. The fact that Jen not only continued to feel a kinda way about it, but wanted to have her friends choose sides was messy. It also showed she wanted to keep a fight going for the sake of it. Annnnnd no. I would rather have fun Jen...the Jen that had her posse help her clean so her husband doesn't know there was a whole soiree going on while he was out and not '6 friends getting together.' lol. LISA. I'll give her this much. Great one liners and respect for having back to back showdowns with cousins...but I was not liking her otherwise. I take that back...ERIKA JAYNE COULD NEVER. LOL!!! THIS is how Erika should be on BH or think she's being. Nope...Lisa has her beat as the ice queen. But I wasn't liking her otherwise this episode. Shame since she was fabulous ice the first episode. But I don't hate her, but love to hate. MEREDITH. LOOK AT LISA'S TWIN BEING REAL!!!! Judging from her IG picture where she tagged all of her family BUT her husband who she made clear is OFF-LIMITS FOR DMs, it's clear she still cares. And it's clear from the dinner that he still cares. And passionate over it is kinda hot actually. lol. But I felt their dinner was real and who can't relate to the SO who is always busy on their phone. That real petal thing with Brooks takes on a whole different meaning now. I hope they can work it out. WHITNEY. Another one being real. It was nice to get to know Whitney this episode. Through her son. Through her dad. Real nice. Loved her showdown with Lisa. She is smarter than she looks. And she played it right. Lisa just might had decided to either deflect or gone for the jugularglar with the rumor so she focused the fight on what it should have been about. Good call. HEATHER. FAVORITE!!! She was a hoot throughout. And I am liking the 'I don't know her' feud with Lisa. Not too toxic like Jen vs Mary has the potential to be. Just petty, messy, and cute. And I hollered at her talking to the producer over what the emoji meant when she was saying different at the showdown with Lisa. MARY. Continues to give me RHOA Sheree vibes. Have no complaints. But given what I read at TT, I had to sideeye her when Whitney said she and her dad was going to her church. And it sounds like Meredith will be going to. And then camera on Heather. Uh oh. Great 2nd episode. OC I liked. Though I felt this week's SOUTHERN CHARM set up Corona better. It felt like it was dropped in or a case of irony here where SC continued down to it happened, it slowly cropping up, and then...BOOM. Still, it was really the first episode that felt OC to me and jell. SHANNON. Again, she was mixed for me. Yeah, Shannon would be online researching Coronvirus from GO. She is that type of personality. So I giggled cuz it was a Shannon thing to do and I liked her man and Gina ribbing her at the dinner over it. If they only knew what was about to happen...smh. I didn't like her and Kelly getting into it at the vow renewal. She could have tabled that until after. It was not about her or Kelly. KELLY. Your man looked hot but STFU. She could have kept that argument from the vow renewal. Just being messy cuz you have nothing going on. I at least respect her opinion to have drinks at the renewal. I wish she was a bit more mindful, but I am the same way BUT MORE MINDFUL to who is not drinking. ELIZABETH. lol. Good to see @Soaplovers you see the same. She was still giving that Vicki vibe. I don't like the girls will be coming for her next week because it seem like it's about the fact she has Braunwyn's back over her staying sober. She continues to be a good friend to Braunwyn and be herself. And that is a good look on her. GINA. Not annoying me except for when she was trying to stir the pot with Emily over Elizabeth. EMILY. Va va voom at the wedding. I liked. Other than that, I was STFU. lol. BRAUNWYN. It's funny seeing her getting a vow renewal knowing 1)how these ends on HW shows and love the producers pointing it out and 2)how this ends for them (so far) in real life. That said...it was nice and it is really weirding me out that Sean is really looking attractive to me this season when I couldn't be bothered last season. lol. Good episode. Probably the first one this season that felt OC.

Because this week was not bad enough for me. I knew it was going to come to this though. I just got into it earlier today because someone would rather refuse to answer whether he wants jalapanos on his sandwich to me because I told him to wear a mask.

@Chris B same on the early episode. I feel it was because of Thanksgiving and that seems to be what I heard as well. I might go ahead and watch though if I'm able.

@amybrickwallace @Juliajms and @OzFrog thank you for the well wishes. Today my sister feels like crap, but still ticking and feisty so feel a little better. Amy re: the pastor WOW. Stay safe. It definitely feels like next week is going to be interesting, but good that the CDC is doing something.

And much needed today so thank you, @Faulkner.

@Khan and @victoria foxton thank you. I am hoping that since my mother...preexisting condition and all...kicked Covid's A$$, my sister who has my mom's sass...will be okay as well. But she's been having a year this year already so...le sigh. Hating on the Orange One very much today. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.

IKR!!!!! I think I'll move on to that next once I'm done with LOVECRAFT COUNTRY.

Woke up to find that my sister tested positive. A little all over my feelings. Trying to keep focus as best I can.

Well Regina King always stays boss. Part of the reason I have SOUTHLAND sitting around here. But since the original WATCHMEN movie was frame by frame of the graphic novel, it's great to hear that they are doing it fresh. Thanks, @Gray Bunny

Yeah, we all can't be Garcelle...who looks exquisite in yellow. Okay, after more pictures looking, I like Monique and Karen's...Karen looks like a conqueror.

POTOMAC SEASON 5 REUNION PICTURE!!!!!!! SLC Since next week is Thanksgiving, Bravo is going to be releasing Episode 3 early online!!! Hmmmm given they are managing to keep it all under wraps, I admit that I'm intrigued though I was hoping the storyline would be old favorite (Teresa) vs new favorite (Marge). Especially what to see how Marge's edit will be since it was long rumored a producer was giving her the good edit and that producer left this past season.

I've heard good things about that, released during one of the golden age of peak scif/fantasy/horror tv. Though if I recall Season One was a slow burn but Season Two made it worth it. If I remember correctly. I guess I would ask what do you think about Ronald Moore shows? (some Star Trek, newer Battlestar Galactica, Helix, Roswell Season 2...lol.) And thank you about Lovecraft Country. I'm excited to start.

RHOA

I agree with this. A break (and a reason to drop Jax and his wife) is much needed.

How was THE WATCHMEN? And Season 1 of the Handmaid's Tale? If you don't mind me asking. Meanwhile, I just got done with both seasons of SWEETBITTER. Having read the book first as well as working in the restaurant industry, I loved it. It made me miss my restaurant families and the fact that it took place in 2006 pre-sm, internet, etc, was a plus. Hate it was cancelled a year ago come X-mas. Ironically doing NaNoWriMo this year and it is about a restaurant so in my feels. THE MAGICIANS SEASON 5 and LOVECRAFT COUNTRY are the next binges for me. And I still working through Season 1 of ROSWELL NEW MEXICO and KRYPTON Season 2. Not to mentioned SUPERGIRL Season 4...me and that season have a love/hate, but I want to be caught up for the last season so...:) Oh, and...anyone remember the Kevin Williamson show WASTELAND. While it was cancelled on ABC after 3 episodes, it went on to be aired on a Showtime affilate. And that show is on a YT channel so I am watching that. Ahead of its time in some ways.

Nah girl? LOL!!! But seriously, I think it was just me cuz I totally rewatched the next day. Usually, Sundays are my actual off day so I get to chill, relax, drink a lot of wine and clown with my cousin as we watch POTOMAC. And this Sunday, my boss had me working, and I'm seriously getting worried about California again since we went into Purple alert a few days ago. And people are STILL wanting to be stupid with masks. I've also been worried about family so I don't think I was in the right mind set. Not the case THIS Sunday. Ready for the mess. Yeah I cannot believe the turnaround with my feelings over Ashley. It's like Porsha on RHOA since she had PJ. Both people I disliked on their shows except for the humor they brought and mess, but now seem like human beings and totally relatable now. Right now, I really feel like Candiace is just putting on an act. And it's sad and very transparent. And judging from the little reunion tea that's out there about her unfollowing Karen, I agree with you that it sounds like Karen's advice fell on deaf ears. At least on Karen's end she still follows Candiace so there's SOME hope. But...she needs to grow up. Robyn needs to quit. While Karen has take the high road with her once, Karen has been gathering Robyn on the show AND online all season. Last thing she wants to get it again. Yeah, Ashley is being a friend to Monique. And Monique has shown remorse. So she is doing the right thing IMO. A good friend should not be having friends pick a side over a conflict when said friend is only heightening it. ETA: I almost forgot... NJ So from what little I know about the upcoming season...it sounds like Jackie got her wish of having a feud with Teresa. And the sticking point is a rumor about Jackie's man cheating. And at the moment Jackie...rather than facing Teresa like she claimed she had the balls to do during her very first reunion...has taken to running, hiding, not filming with the group after some group event? And...is it a new housewife and two friends or is it two new housewives and a friend? Anyone know the real tea...?

Meanwhile...Le sigh... https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/california-pulls-emergency-break-on-reopening-as-covid-cases-spike/vi-BB1b6jw8?ocid=msedgntp

Lol. Tru, but I feel that is going to FINALLY bite Kelly on the butt. When I've tuned into OC okay and NJ I love seeing the child's prespective. I think OC lost that when Brianna moved cross country so I don't mind that showing back up at all. And I like Sophie and Brunwyn's son. It is so fascinating to me seeing how his family is reacting to him vs me growing up. It's fresh...something needed on these shows for sure.

OC Finally got around to watching it. And 2 for 2 on the meh. At least with Potomac though, I felt there was still a direction it was going in. Everything connected. This past episode felt like such a patchwork of stuff. Like the producers were throwing things at the wall to see what would stick. As a result it was just disjointed. WHAT I DID LIKE LIZZIE. I am always happy to see her. And I found it funny that Tamra STILL does not like her. I will always know her as the one who was closest to giving Tamra her comeuppance. BRAUNWYN AND HER SON. Like Shannon and her daughter, OC (and NJ) have always had some stories with their kids. I love Braunwyn and her family being so encouraging of her son exploring his sexual identity. And listening to him explore it as a way to come out of depression I found inspiring. I enjoyed it so well, I wished that Braunwyn had not told Kelly about it. Moreso if that rumor is true. Speaking of Shannon... SHANNON'S DAUGHTER. Look at her having her mother's sense of humor. And it was interesting to see one of Shannon's daughter express her thoughts on David who is nothing but a 'hot' mess online so...more of that. ELIZABETH. I like Vicki 2.0. And it was nice to get more of her backstory. I was sorry about her sister, but liked that it allowed her to have a different prespective on Braunwyn that the others did not. And it allowed her to get through more to Gina...who I respect for being open to Braunwyn. WHAT I DID NOT LIKE KELLY. If she says something stupid about Co-Vid one more time... But even more seriously...is she just going to be focused on her wedding? Cuz she seems like she's just there. Not a bad thing, but odd for her. Makes me wonder if it's editing.

@Veegood energy sent your ex. Hope all is well.
