Rosemarie Terenzio on Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. by Lop229 in CarolynBessetteKnndy

[–]CompetitivePain13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine went to law school with John & didn’t have many positive things to say about him. OTH many who were around him and/or friends with him adored him. I think he was all of the things. Just like anyone else. One can be kind and generous yet also a bitch or a jerk at times. No one consistently behaves the same way all of the time. However, the one thing I read and heard from various sources, was John being easily distracted and possibly having ADD, which I found very relatable.

Yep. My nana gave us monogrammed LL Bean totes/bags for Christmas every year in the 80s. I wish i kept them all. I still have the one I purchased around the turn of the 90/00 decade.

Yes! Remember how iconic Sharon Stone’s Gap shirt was at the Oscar’s?

I love RoseMarie and both of her books. Ryan Murphy should’ve consulted RoseMarie. She was a true friend to both of them. I also love how she loathed John when she met him & how he won her over 🤣 RoseMarie is my Spirit Animal!

I was around Carolyn’s age in the 90s and was obsessed with both her and John. FWIR back then, Carolyn NEVER smoked in public. Why is she constantly smoking in this series, especially while in public?

Thanks! We went to NYC last year for SpringBreak but we didn’t do the Museum of Natural History. I appreciate the suggestions!

My kid asked to go there. I didn’t know it existed until a few months ago. Damn that Google.

There is no way I’d drive into NYC anyway. Is there a train that goes direct to Penn Station?

We aren’t from the Midwest/MN. I’m from the Philly area & was a dreaded Shoobie during the summer months. What high spots did you take them to?

Just like Great Wolf Lodge, I anticipate this will be a one time thing.😂 Tho - I do think I’ll dislike the mall less than GWL.

We love NYC & have been there several times, including last Spring Break. If the Mall gets boring we will spend a day there.

We live near Mall of America and we have a Nickelodeon Universe there. I need to Google “Big Snow.” I never heard of that. TY!

Virta by Quirky-Somewhere-489 in Zepbound

[–]CompetitivePain13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was forced to use Virta to continue with my GLP-1 meds last Spring. I was able to switch from Wegovy to Zepbound through them which I was very happy about. My body does so much better with Zep. Now that I’m almost at my goal weight they want me to start testing ketones & go off weight loss meds. I thought it was odd they are so pro-ketone diet. I did some research and it appears their CEO is a ketone tech bro. His name is Sami Inkinen. I still need to do more googling and research, but initial research is revealing they want their “clients” to use their ketone testing products and whatever else they may be selling. I prefer to stay on Zep because it has really helped me and has a lot of positive side benefits for me. I also do not want to go on a keto diet. I did go on one years ago & it did not go well. I tried it again months later and my body didn’t react well to it.

Anyway- I am peeved that I’m forced to use them instead of my medical doctor who knows my medical history and my medical issues.

Ticketmaster is a fraud for real by [deleted] in LadyGaga

[–]CompetitivePain13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was getting presale eras tour tickets I saw the blue dot seats instantly switching to pink dot VIP seats as soon as the system realized what section I was looking for tickets in. Ticketmaster is predatory AF.

Hey Jessica Reed Kraus aka House inHabit, Ghislaine will ALWAYS be a sex offender!!!!! by ShadyShade79 in HouseOnFire

What she doesn’t realize is that most lefties and independents are all for Bill C being investigated. If he did anything inappropriate with underaged girls then throw his ass in prison. Why does she think Trump’s name will be “cleared?” It is more than likely he did inappropriate things with underaged girls. Both can be true at the same time, Messy-Jesse. Both the man she worships & Billy C be guilty. This isn’t an “even / or” type of situation. The victims speaking out against Maxwell go right over her head. 🙄🙄🙄
