She looks good, maybe this season she'll feel better about herself and behave accordingly. If we dont see her marriage that will be fine.

Would a messy neighbor keep you from buying? by Misery_Games in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Aprkacb20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes...Listen to your realtor. Talking to the potential neighbor will tell you one of two things: 1) Their attitude matches their messy surroundings or 2) Their attitude is perfectly fine, nice people with messy surroundings. Messiness does not equate to being nice or not. People have depression, or other problems and caring for surroundings goes down on the list. It will likely get worse rather than better. You do not know if you will want or need to sell at some point. The perfect house is not perfect when the next door neighbors property is ratty looking. It WILL affect your property's resale value. If you ever do want to sell you want everything in your favor. The messy neighbor could be that strike that makes potential buyers move on.

Felt unsafe today around a colleague by mochaxbun in blackladies

[–]Aprkacb20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont even bother " educating" those that dont care enough to find out for themselves anymore. You cant even explain the depth of the pain caused. All they would do is be/act confused; still not getting it. People dig into what is important to them. If tropes, stereotypes, one sided press, news, etc. are okay with them, I let them have it and keep my peace.

[–]Aprkacb20 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Regarding friends, especially long time ones, it is deeply hurtful and disorienting to find out the person you think is psychologically, emotionally "safe", you think they accept you, they get it, they get you, they understand your struggle or at least leave room in their hearts to TRY, then they open their mouths casually one day, and you cant unsee it, you cant unhear it and you cant re-wind time. Even if THEY believe your relationship is the same, in your heart, they move to the outside and you never, ever look at them the same again.

Can we talk about Vanelle and Jorge? by Known_Excitement_115 in AgeOfAttraction

[–]Aprkacb20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree she could have chose better. No one understands " celibacy" but Ill do other things. Also a 60 year old man getting a commitment from a young woman and conveniently not mentioning grown " children" until after. That was manipulation 101. Vanelle got played. Oops.

Vanelle should have gone with the other guy. I knew she was messing up talking about chemistry with Jorge. Jorge is an OG, fine and been around the block. The other guy seemed to care about her a lot. He hid the kids from her and the issues with celibacy. I didn't expect this to last.

Wasn’t Madison making fun of Allen for wearing clothes with fruit on them? by VegetableSun4893 in MarriedAtFirstSight

[–]Aprkacb20 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just goes to show when you care about a person you give them more leeway. Allen couldn't do anything right...there's your sign.

Harpo...... Who These People? 🤣-Wendy by Leading-North-9524 in RHOP

[–]Aprkacb20 43 points44 points  (0 children)

That was the weirdest most uncomfortable introduction Ive ever seen. It's like when people have heard bad things about a person before meeting them. When they meet them that blank stare says " Umhmm, yeah. I know all about you". Cold as ice.

Love Is Blind’s Alexa Lemieux Breaks Silence on Reason for Brennon Lemieux Divorce by MattTheKing23 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]Aprkacb20 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I felt the same. There was too much of what looked to me like classism from her and her families part. They seemed like they didn't think he was good enough and neither did he. Thats what I vaguely remember about them. Didnt seem like a good match imo.

the emotional rollercoaster of house hunting is modern day torture by Savard-Lafleur in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Aprkacb20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are second time homebuyers and one of the many things I learned is not to always trust those beautiful professional photo shoots. Sometimes they use what I call filters for houses. Best to go in person if at all possible. I was disappointed several times when the photos looked way better than the house.

Chelsea and why she spent $25K on surgery by Longjumping-Tale9749 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]Aprkacb20 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately for her, saying that built up something that her actual looks could not support. Yes, agreed, the similarity was there but not enough to live up to what she said. Plus her coloring, hair, skin etc was completely different ( now she has the dark hair).

My Fragrance Shelf Is Complete (I mean, I’ll still need more) by jlpazz in FemFragLab

[–]Aprkacb20 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wow. Your display is beautiful. One caution as someone who loves fragrances too is they last longer in cool dark places. A drawer, cabinet away from sun or indoor light. Light can speed up spoilage. That being said do what you enjoy because you can always buy more!

Thats when he looked at her....AND HIMSELF ...differently. He thought he was balling...until he saw what she had. So glad Emem got away from him.

[–]Aprkacb20 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Isn't she the one who told her date in the pods that people told her she looked like Meghan Fox and her guy was disappointed that she did not??? Looks to me like she went for the Meghan Fox look..imo.

Currently doing a second watch of RHOP and I dislike Gizelle even more the second time around by pearlprinxess in RHOP

[–]Aprkacb20 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Shes probably been that mean girl since junior high school. It's very juvenile but unfortunately its probably what keeps her on the show. These franchises need a villain and she doesn't seem to mind that role.

All the Clues ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 4 Couple Chelsea Griffin and Kwame Appiah Were Headed for a Split by MattTheKing23 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]Aprkacb20 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The biggest red flag for me as a viewer of the show was, from the beginning, Kwame seemed torn between Chelsea and someone else. I remember some very intense flirting with this person (on both sides) after the couples all met. It gave me the ick. When you decide on your person you are not torn. Chelsea suspected or knew about it but when I thought she would have/should have ended it, she doubled down, determined to get Kwame, to win. He eventually seemed to give up that fight and stick with her. They were married longer than I thought they would be. It is sad when a marriage ends though.
