I've been side eyeing Brownie all season. Throwing Shannon under the bus, blaming Gina for her hubby's creepy text, the odd co dependency between her and hubby.

 

However, when her daughter expressed genuine anxiety over covid and how it was affecting people...and Brownie made it about her.  I was done.

 

Lord. I forgot about the last bit. I also remember thr passive aggressive way she acted with her mom before the vow renewal. Her mother is pretty monstrous but the PA stuff from Braunwyn... just tell her why you're pissed, instead of this cold-shoulder-cant-even-look-at-you-while-hubby-holds-me-protectively chat.

 

I don't think she realises what a pampered bubble she resides in. And she had lots of children... to feel loved? To lay off the booze? The way she expressed that was so Braunwyn-centered.

Ok, RHONY was brought up in a previous post, and by coincidence i discovered this amazing flashback tweet from S5 NYC. I just watched it and haven't laughed like that in a LONG time:

RHOA

 

I enjoyed the Porsha Party and am amazed that Kenya is surprised that anyone would not welcome her when she speaks the way that she does. 

 

She is just loathsome.

Heather is full of so much win. I absolutely loved the fact that she already knew everything Jen had been saying about Meredith, but didn't spread gossip nor thought it was Jen's place to be going around speculating. That's a true friend; that's the real deal. 

 

Loved seeing Whitney with her father. So much history there with getting hurt and being disappointed in her father. It's no surprise that he's leaned on her financially for support time and time again. I'm glad she put her foot down about not supporting him this time. 

 

I enjoyed the house husband dynamic. Jen's hubby is actually pretty cool. I wasn't expecting that; I expected another Charrisse Jordan Jackson Jordan situation (I can't remember which last name goes first).  I agree @Taoboi that the Meredith/Seth situation is the stuff of soap opera angst. Such an interesting dynamic. 

 

Ditto the dynamic with Lisa and her husband.  Hubby & I find it funny and strange how they so openly admit their work comes first and their children come second. Add to that Lisa's comment that she'd like to incorporate her kids into her work in order to spend time with them. Her priorities regarding her children are a little out of whack IMO but then again I don't have kids and never will. 30 years from now, I'm sure she'll wish she had spent more time with her children and will smother her grandchildren instead. 

 

The snow ski jets looked fun. That's the only type of snow adventures I would do myself. I can't balance for [!@#$%^&*] and would die trying to ski. I can't even rollerblade LOL. 

 

Definitely the latter. I spy smirks from her bystanders. I couldn't keep a straight face with that clown either. 

Omg yes! Heather has been nothing, but what I expect out of a friend and I love it...and chicken wings. lol. I'm just so worried about how things are going to go when it turns into Jen vs Whitney which from online chatter is going to get pretty bad. 

 

And YAAAASSS!!! I can see Lisa saying that. And 30 years from now doing that to her grandchildren.

 

I don't think we have gotten a househusband dynamic outside of RHOP since the RHOA with Peter, Apollo, Greg, and then Todd. So it's nice to see. 

 

Yeah...it is clear to me Jen is doing that for cameras...and sadly with NO self awareness.

@Taoboi Thank you for reminding me about Tinsley's contribution to RHONY. I was a bit of a Jules fan and only belatedly 'got' Tinsley's charm. Her departure episode on RHONY and triumphant return to Reunion to confront Dorinda made me realize, Wow, we lost a good one here. And we shouldn't have. Maybe RHoChicago??

 

Also I can't believe I forgot to mention the much-desired departure of Terri! To think, it was Twitter uncovering her multi-level paid-starvation programme that brought her down! Welp. I'll take it. She eagerly volunteered to run Denise over with a giant bus and then backed it up and ran over her again and again, so I'm shedding no tears. She finally thought she was a part of The Coven as a peer instead of a lackey! Oh sweetie. Wonder if Kyle is still calling you every day? Terri's dismissal must have been a bitter pill to swallow, and I honestly worry how she and her stencil-eyebrowed husband are going to pay for that new house in Encino next door to the Umanskys.

 

 

Another noteworthy comeuppance was RHOBH's Brandi. Now, I actually feel sorry for Brandi for this one. She never got over being fired from RHOBH (even though it was exacting a toll on her psyche) and has doggedly tried to get back on the show. Her desperation, plus likely a lot of booze & pills, have aged this former beauty beyond recognition. She was a hollow shell of her former self this season (reflective of the state of BH itself, I would say). All that was left was the performative vulgarity as she desperately tried to drag Denise down into the mud and claw her way back up. Sadly, Brandi will only ever be Valley-dwelling trash to the BH cast. They and Bravo use and discard her repeatedly. For months before BH even aired, she tirelessly teased the season's big SL and her key role in it. She said she'd be attending Reunion to expose Denise. Then she said she'd be doing a one-on-one interview with Andy about the allegations. Then Andy flatly announced that Bravo would not be filming anything with her. It is brutal watching her on that hamster wheel. 

 

I forgot to mention that Best Husband of 2020 is Joe Gorga, RHONJ. He is hilarious, shady, a drama queen, with terribly distorted and outdated views about women -- but overall he is immense fun to watch and is a RH in his own right.

 

Going to watch RHOD now -- but @NothinButAttitude got me scared. I seriously CANNOT deal with Brandi Redmond's pity party about being a racist b!tch. If ever a comeuppance was needed, it's on this one. Why is Bravo working so hard to save her job? This is the lowest-rated RH franchise and she doesn't even stand out next to Kameron, Stephanie or the Simmons women! OK, thoughts later.

I've been meaning to go back and watch that Jules season (along with the first 3 seasons since my system has most of the Housewives seasons shockingly) but I've been so busy. But what little I've seen of Jules I've liked her. But I liked Tinsley and her history (I still need to see HIGH SOCIETY) and I loved GOSSIP GIRLS and binging slowly MANHATTAN PREP. I am only disappointed that I fell for Tinsley more as she was leaving. She really came into her own. 

 

Hehe. I love that you added more listing. I wanted to do that. Because so much happened last year I knew I missed something (like Marge vs Danielle for example). 

 

However...who is Terri?

So basically, we are in for a season where Brandi gets to be a victim despite the racist sh*t she said? Child, bye. I will not be investing in that bull. Cancel this crap and bring back Miami.

Well the rumor is that they are rebooting Miami for Peacock and looking for new girls. I also saw a rumor that they were hoping they build the reboot around Adriana with Cuban and Afro-Caribbean HWs which I would be down for.

Brandi needed to listen to Tiffany, apologize and than show though action she was sorry.

 

Tiffany reminds me of my former roommates girlfriend in personality..so she's a keeper for me  I do sense she and Dandra are close and hope it stays that way. 

 

Jen...was she meant to be full time?  I thought I read she was supposed to be but something happened in her personal life that caused her to leave mid way through filming.  I'm wondering if Kary or Brandi were going to be demoted..but Jen opting out cause Bravo to change their mind?

 

After hearing Monique's live and the contract she was offered...I wonder if all the women have that clause (that producers could opt to make you a FOH during the season if they so choose?).

Yeah, a few years ago to in their attempt to save money, Bravo put that clause into the contract. Or at least we all now found out about it a few days ago. TT mentioned it. An attempt to get the HWs to work for their money.

 

Listening to this video about how Robyn is not fired. Apparently if Monique had not quit, Robyn would have been. She wanted more money, Bravo wants Robyn to either have a wedding or a baby with Juan. Basically it will be make or break for her this coming year.

I agree. I will never complain about new blood. Especially when you have lifers like Robyn and Gizelle who don’t bring much. I know my saying Gizelle is controversial since Bravo has her as the face, but other than her ability to stir up drama she adds NOTHING to the show. Her home scenes are boring and she always has a made up relationship storyline that falls flat. Robyn is there but rarely brings anything fresh. They need one or two newbies that can come in as strong as Monique did. Someone with money, an interesting family life who can just jump in head first. I know it’s unpopular, but I will say again that Omarosa would be an excellent addition. It would never happen, but I’d love for it to.  Seeing her on Celebrity Big Brother showed a different side to her and I remember when people watched they were shocked that somehow we fell in love with her lol. She can be devious, but I think this format would give a more well rounded view of who she is. 
 

This nothing big, but something I love so I wanted to share. We saw a bit of their friendship developing last season and I’ve loved watching it grow on social media. This likely wasn’t filmed either. I love that such an unlikely pairing has made such a fun and normal friendship. I’m still hoping Sutton gets her Diamond and also hoping that Garcelle doesn’t roll over and become friends with Rinna again. 

 

I'm listening to this video of the S6 HW options and I am liking all of them. Especially the first 2. Hopefully, the producers DO NOT let Cha Cha back in if she is that desperate. And I love that one of the candidates might be who I was asking for...someone that will not be afraid to take Gizelle when (not IF) she comes for her. And they look beautiful. 

 

And re: Garcell/Sutton friendship. As a black man who have good friendships with country fried white boys in an environment where we should not be friends AT ALL...and we are still friends to this day...seeing their friendship grow warms my heart. One of the best things that came out of BH's latest season. 

 

I honestly don't see Garcelle ever being close to Ex Soap Star again. And what pictures I've seen from filming it is very noticable that they are not. 

 

 

It warmed my heart to hear that Andy backtracked about RHOP and tried to blame the editors. 😆

 

Apparently, he caught a lot of heat and had to discuss it on WWHL. 

 

This just further confirms that there are internal issues at Bravo. They just might be about to boot Andy's ass too. 

 

I’m guessing Andy’s hope of getting the show on Peacock will come to fruition. I hope they stick with only bringing Adriana back and give us a strong cast. I don’t want them to lean too heavily into the past since season 3 was like 10 years ago. She could be a nice bridge.

Which production company does RHOD? The show looks visually gorgeous. The houses alone are magnificent. D'Andra in a long white dress going into her mother's mansion clearly referenced Scarlett O'Hara in front of Tara; Tiffany sitting in the gazebo in the garden with Mama Dee and D'Andra was breath-taking.

 

There is a lightness and breathability to the show without Leeanne. At the same time, I found myself looking around for her, wishing she would pop up every now and then. Leeanne left the show without proper closure -- and I say this as no fan of hers. But having Brandi around confirms for me that the xenophobia charge levelled at Leeanne was merely a means to an end for Bravo to get rid of her. Her attitude last season and the way she sucked the air out of every conversation was enough for Bravo to decide that her time on the show was running out.

 

Kary is still the same, whiny mean girl, desperate for relevance. She's thrown her lot behind trashpot Brandi, forgetting that it totally contradicts her no-excuses stance with Leeanne last season. She looks and sounds like a total moron. I am anticipating her downfall this season.

 

Trashpot... I can't. Scrunching up your face real hard and farting out one dry tear is not remorse. I don't care that she had to 'go away' for 'help' to come to terms with doing the slant-eye racist gesture on social media. F*ck off with that BS. I hate the way the other women were trying to pressure Tiffany into blowing off Brandi's racist episode. "But she's SO FUNNY!" So? And she is? I've never found her remotely amusing. This is some contrived redemption BS. I am stunned Bravo thought Brandi Redmond was worth this kind of whitewashing.

 

Tiffany is great so far and it's funny you call her Asian Kenya -- she actually reminds me a bit of Garcelle. So I may call her Asian Garcelle. She gave a speech about how Covid really does exist at the lunch, and seriously, was I the only one who felt some of the Fox News-watching HWs... pause somewhat-disbelievingly? The lack of masks on this show was giving me secondhand stress, like, I know this was filmed in the spring, we knew less then than we do now. But the visors aren't cutting it for me, lol.

 

Good to see Kameron and her family back. Random note, but I found her dog trainer seriously, seriously SO HOT. (Even though he wasn't wearing a mask LOL).

 

 

I have been hoping for a Sutton-Garcelle friendship ever since their lunch together last season where Garcelle asked all the nosy questions! I especially love that they've been hanging out together off-the-clock. That happens less on BH (unless you are Kyle trying to cultivate a new minion). I am really looking forward to these two next season.

 

And I couldn't agree more regarding Gizelle and Robyn. I find both of them to be lazy Real Housewives. Their SLs are basic and recycled, and even their pot-stirring is lazy. They'd rather somebody else do the heavy lifting, both on the show and in their real lives, it would seem. I can't understand why Bravo picked Gizelle as their 'unproblematic' face of the network, 'educating' Gina on OC about BLM and whatnot.

 

As for new HWs on RHOP, I always wondered if Star Jones might be a good fit. 

I didn't want to reply until I had the time to go look so...Goodbye Pictures is the name of the production. And I agree. The angles during the lunch with Mama Dee, LeeAndra, and Tiffany was breathtaking for me. And the show is definitely showing wealth in a way that outside of NotKary's intro last season, it has not had in a while outside of the cast trip. You are now making me want to go and look at LeeAndra's dress again. 

 

I agree about LeeAnne. You know it was about just getting rid of her. Plain and simple. I still wouldn't mind her being a cliffhanger...those girls would not know how to deal if she did. But I've accepted that just like Monique, it's time for the other girls to bring it. 

 

Kary is going have quite a few feuds per Bravo's press release...one the two of us have discussed would happen the minute LeeAnne left.  

 

Yeah same on Brandi.

 

I agree with you on Tiffany. The Season 5 trailer made it out that Tiffany was coming in like how Kenya came into RHOA in Season 5...shifting the dynamic rather interesting for a newbie. It was unclear whether it was good or bad, but it's good. So I was pleasantly surprised to see she is like how you mentioned...just like Garcelle. She's been good. But I suspect that she will not hesitate to be like Kenya and get girls together. I cannot wait. Especially if one of the feud per the trailer is her vs Kary who needs to STFU. 

 

Yeah, Texas here has been wild in terms of Co-Vid and getting worse as of late. They are being like Florida to various degrees in fact. But tbf, they started filming most of what they were doing in June. So the info was just coming in and they did admirative in that regard. In a way, they are post OC which filmed before, during, and after. But this show is more post-Co-Vid so it is interesting for what is okay and what is not okay. I guess it says something that the only infection to my knowledge is LeeAndra AFTER filming. 

 

Re: Garcelle/Sutton friendship. Like I said...I love that it has truly and utterly blossom. LOVE.

 

Re: Robyn/Gizelle. This video I'm listening to...it is going to be interesting for them next season. HOWEVER, I don't like that it sounds like (not surprised) that Gizelle is going to try to come for La Dame. Yeah...NO.

@Taoboi I had the same opinion of the last episode of OC. It is starting to get interesting actually. My view of some of these women has flipped too, especially Elizabeth whose life story give so much context to the way she is. She is a people pleaser and sometimes smudges the truth to give them what they want to hear. I appreciated the scene between her and Braunwyn, and credit to B that she listened to Elizabeth and made her feel supported.

 

IA with you about Braunwyn though. When she talks about herself, she is ALL IN about herself. She is very self-absorbed. 

 

Lol, I sort of love Gina's reactions to everybody. Kelly saying a group of Marines told them that blood type O was "bulletproof" against Covid -- and Gina was all 'Waiiiiiiit, wuuuuuut.' 

 

Love Emily and Shane. Their kids with the signs! Those boys are little mini Shane's. Emily was recently on a Juicy Scoop podcast and I enjoyed hearing her story. There is no pretension with her. She is not a fan of Tammy Sue either, so that's another reason to bring Tamra (and Lizzie) back. Tamra is currently hating on both Shannon and Emily. Not that Emily entirely trusts Shannon either... which is a good thing. Shannon is untrustworthy and all the women are starting to understand that it wasn't just all Tamra and Vicki's fault back in the day.

 

To think, Emily got the story Shannon envisioned for herself! Oy. On the one hand, Shannon's daughters are way too cocky with their mother, rolling their eyes and bringing Covid into the house. I find them hella spoiled. They act like David Beador used to act around Shannon: "Yes dear" while f*cking around behind her back. On the other hand, can you imagine Shannon as your mother? Drama queen sucking all the energy out of the room? Must be almost as suffocating as being around Bethenny Frankel! And her obsession with the boyfriend is going to drive his ass away, if it hasn't already. 

 

I have nothing to say about Kelly, except that she's an oblivious fool.

 

 

Oh Wendy basically lay back and uncrossed her legs when it came to Gizelle, Robyn and Candiace. She was hired to be Candiace's 'friend' and to beef with Karen, and Dr. Wannabe fulfilled that brief.  I can only hope any new hires don't fall in line the same way. I still say bring back Katie Rost. She actually had a mind of her own.

 

Yeah...sadly just like Candiace this past season of RHOP, Braunwyn came into the season in a great position, the audience on her side. But the more that the season has gone on, the more that she is losing all the goodwill and fan support she had gotten. And it looks like more of the same this week. One can't help, but wonder if she will have any goodwill going into the reunion. 

 

Okay, I admit it. Gina has been growing on me again this season now that it's least about her being Queen Bee and her just being herself. I have been liking her commentary and giggling, but nothing noticeable for me. But I knew I've turned a corner when I saw her Reunion look. More of that please. Cuz the glow up with her was real. WOW.

 

Oh, really? Re: Emily's interview. Well if they decide to bring Tamra back which is feeling inevitable, I would be done for bringing Lizzie back for counterbalance. 

 

Yeah...Shannon as a mom might be crazy, but she is their mom. Respect.

 

RE: Wendy. Well, if this video I'm watching is to be believed. She might get hit by the second season curse. So her karma (?) is coming. And the newbies DEFINITELY won't be like her. There's one that I'm intrigued because she might do what I said she will need in a newbie with Gizelle around.

I... don't think Adriana alone should be the HW that NuRHOM is built around. She's a firecracker, but I don't think she can hold up an entire show by herself (as S3 proved). I think adding Alexia and Marysol alongside Adriana is needed. Alexia's life is pure soap opera and so is her family. Marysol is thirsty AF and knows how this RH game is played. Both are connected to the Miami party scene and the Cuban community. I'd welcome Lea Black also.

 

At least they aren't building the cast around Joanna Krupa, Lisa Hochstein (sorry, not really a fan) or Lost Kardashian Larsa Pippen.

It's not that he didn't question or criticise Candiace -- he made an attempt from what I saw.

 

It's the fact that he shielded Gizelle from the truly tough questions like his life depended on it. He also attempted to gaslight and talk over Monique & Chris in collusion with Robyn and others.

 

But gee I guess Bravo purposely edited out all your good parts on purpose LMAO.  Just like they edited out Gizelle's crazy meltdown -- because it might have sealed her fate.

WOULD have sealed her fate. 

Yeah, Andy did try to shade/question Candiace..but she pushed back on him...same as she's done to Ashley for the last 3 reunions.

 

S6 needs a shake up...and I'm curious to see how it fared once the dust settles.

First of all, @DaytimeFan @Cat @Taoboi... LOVED your Best & Worst lists!  

 

How could I forget to mention the wonderful departure of Terri DeMarco? Oh, that's right. Because she's so BORING she's also FORGETTABLE! Sutton said it best. 

 

And a +1 to Rinna needing to be the next Housewife to get her comeuppance. Right after Gizelle needing a true takedown next season, but I digress... 

 

RHOC: 

Elizabeth's cult confession is eye opening. Who knows what kind of ramifications will happen within the OC group by spilling the tea to Braunwyn, but WOW. That's a mindfukkery of epic proportions. No wonder she's so guarded. 

 

+1 on liking Emily and her family's authentic journey dealing with COVID versus Shannon's "ME ME ME" meltdown. Seeing her children eyerolling her on the zoom call... I think it's a combo of being spoiled brats as well as having Shannon Beador as a mother.  It can't be easy being her child. 

 

+1 on side-eyeing Braunwyn when she made her daughter's COVID concerns all about her. Braunwyn is a lot to handle these days as a viewer. Add to that, her recent social media confession that she'd be devastated to see soon-to-be ex-hubby Sean with another woman. But... aren't YOU with another woman already? 

 

I also like Gina's commentary. She's not trying to be top dog, and I like that. Her quips are similar to Carole's over on NYC....

 

Which by the way, it does not surprise me in the least to hear the real reason why Bethenny turned on Carole!  There's always an angle with Bethenny as it has been since day one, cozying up to Jill Zarin in the early years until she could stand on her own.  Her humanitarian efforts are amazing, but in the arena of fame and fortune, she's always clawing for more. 

Erika looks unrecognizable without her $10K glam squad

 

 

@Cheap21, Erika looks rough. Damn. 

RHOA

 

Well first of all...so Porsha and Marlo are beefing again...? lol.

 

Second of all...I liked it.

 

Well...I needed a distraction Sunday and...I got one. So this was it. What started the renew feud between Porsha and Kenya. Or should I be saying who? I see you, Lauren, I see you.   Though to be fair, I did get her reasons for doing that. Porsha and Kenya fell out last season. And Kenya had been busy with her marriage drama, but she was not showing any kind of support for Porsha and in a bad place. So naturally she did not want her there. It should be noted that Cynthia was being messy in this which did not help. Lauren didn't even want Kenya there as a PLUS ONE. Cynthia set Kenya up to be hurt. Perhaps payback for Kenya calling her out for having her wedding on the show...? Just a thought? 

 

It's sad really. It reminds me of Monique/Candiace. If they had just been able to talk to each other without anyone around, maybe they could have come to a different spot. Of course, I don't see Porsha dragging Kenya this time. Which of course means she truly has grown.

 

KENYA. Let me give her the good. I loved that she called out Cynthia about the wedding. Let's be real. I think everyone and their mother know that Cynthia wants the wedding on the show because that is her storyline. Mike surprisingly given that cover on his last book does not care. He just loves her and wants to marry her. But here is Cynthia doing her best impression of Carrie Bradshaw getting Big in the SATC movie. It was the only way she was staying on the show...something RHOP Robyn can attest to right now.  And that's sad. She could have just filmed and left on her own terms midseason with her wedding. Instead, Cynthia was looking like a clown. However...now we go to the bad...cuz picking on Porsha's activism in 2020 with so much going on...is a bad look for Kenya. And she really should not have done it. I didn't like it. She is just bitter. Sorry, not sorry. I definitely felt Porsha had come a long way. Not a saint. After all, it was her shading Kenya in her THs (when Kenya was not doing it to her) and siding up to Nene when she was the main one trying to ice Nene out last season that caused their friendship to be short lived. But a long way and what Porsha has been doing is a good thing. And I would think Miss USA would know better. But I did awww when she was uninvited though. She had a gift for PJ. And she seem actually upset. But...it begins...

 

PORSHA. I'll say this much. Regardless of what I've said above...until she does something to make it worse herself, Team Porsha on this new feud. She is mostly unaware. Looks like that will change next week though at the first all group event. I love how she kept looking for ways to get BLM out there. I love that she is ONLY co-parenting with Dennis. She can do so much better. Keep going, girl!!! I am sad to say that I have completely soured on Tanya though. Every time I see her...smh...she just never recovered from the reunion for me. Otherwise than that I stay liking Porsha's Posse.

 

KANDI. Lol. I still love her friendship with Kenya and how she calls her out. However...at some point...it seems like that will end. And that saddens me. I feel like she's the only one that has been holding Kenya accountable...and can still joke with her. Cuz that Bedroom Kandi comment was hilarious. 

 

CYNTHIA. Kenya (and Mal) told no lies. She is being waaaay too extra. It is like Bravo gave her a memo that she's boring and she needs to turn it up. And she's going about it the wrong way. Just STOP. Will this be the season her and Kenya fall out, too? Now I'm wondering if it will be Kenya at the end of this season alone. We'll see.

 

DREW. I hate saying...but Ralph is FOINE. Don't need him for his personality. But his personality sucks. But I've already said that the two of them give me NJ Amber/Jim vibes. At least he opened up a little. And I like that Drew is being open and giving us the real in her life. I cannot hate her on that. 

 

LATOYA. Messy. But funnily enough harmless so far. And we could use some fun. And she even got invited to Porsha's party.

 

So...pretty good distraction episode.

Elizabeth's cult confession is eye opening. Who knows what kind of ramifications will happen within the OC group by spilling the tea to Braunwyn, but WOW. That's a mindfukkery of epic proportions. No wonder she's so guarded. 

 

+1 on liking Emily and her family's authentic journey dealing with COVID versus Shannon's "ME ME ME" meltdown. Seeing her children eyerolling her on the zoom call... I think it's a combo of being spoiled brats as well as having Shannon Beador as a mother.  It can't be easy being her child. 

 

+1 on side-eyeing Braunwyn when she made her daughter's COVID concerns all about her. Braunwyn is a lot to handle these days as a viewer. Add to that, her recent social media confession that she'd be devastated to see soon-to-be ex-hubby Sean with another woman. But... aren't YOU with another woman already? 

 

I also like Gina's commentary. She's not trying to be top dog, and I like that. Her quips are similar to Carole's over on NYC....

 

Which by the way, it does not surprise me in the least to hear the real reason why Bethenny turned on Carole!  There's always an angle with Bethenny as it has been since day one, cozying up to Jill Zarin in the early years until she could stand on her own.  Her humanitarian efforts are amazing, but in the arena of fame and fortune, she's always clawing for more. 

Thank you for suggesting it, @Gray Bunny. That was really fun to do this past week, thinking back over all this past year. lol. 

 

Terri Who?
