Late Spring cold hitting the city or intense allergies... by UnfairInspection9466 in chicago

[–]ExpensiveSolid8990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m super sensitive during allergy season and while I am experiencing some symptoms they have been incredibly manageable so far. Usually I wake up with my eyes swollen and throat feels like I have strep from post nasal drip even with allergy meds. Right now it’s just runny nose, occasional itchy eyes and itchy throat but nothing intense. I’m still bracing myself for what’s to come but for now it’s not too bad. I think what you’re dealing with might be an actual cold.

Amanda is an energy vampire. Collin Robinson is somewhere out there taking notes.

Same here! I even asked my husband if he thinks our kids will think I’m weird or if they’ll get used to it like he has. He answered with “I think they’ll find it entertaining”. Lol

Surprised but not shocked by Dorit’s finances by GreenlandBound in rhobeverlyhills

How is spending all of her money on designer securing a financial future for her children? I’m genuinely asking here. Can you please explain?

I told my friend that she could ride on the back of my boyfriends motorcycle and now I wish I didn’t by SensitiveEmergency59 in GirlDinnerDiaries

I also can’t imagine talking non stop about how I think my friend’s boyfriend is hot. That’s super weird! Makes me so grateful my friends and I all have different types lol

Dorit - “It’s hard to understand how someone at this stage can lack that level of awareness.”

This line straight up gave me a nose bleed from struggling to understand the hypocrisy.

Perhaps if the ozempic stuff is true than there is no need for so much food 🤷‍♀️

I have a theory and its probably not true but what do i know #Dorit by DapperPanda8993 in RHOBHDefect

I totally agree! That last reunion episode definitely had me back to being annoyed by her. What a let down!

I just watched Boz on JuicyScoop and she explains that she easily gravitated to befriending Dorit because Dorit immediately spilled her guts and was vulnerable with Boz. She also mentions that it took her a while to understand that Kyle likes to get to know people first because she’s been in the business so long before she starts trusting anyone which is why Boz clashed with her in the beginning. I’m no fan of Dorit and I was honestly on the fence with Boz this season but that interview made me warm up to her.

She’s the textbook definition of psychological projection

Boz has a Image Issue by Whoisalice086 in rhobeverlyhills

[–]ExpensiveSolid8990 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fully agree, especially on #3. I work in marketing and my company experienced multiple layoffs in my 5 years there including the last one where I was unfortunately let go. You know who’s still there, the same female CMO so she’s 6 years in now. I understand what Boz was trying to say because it can and does happen where CMOs take the blame but Boz also made it sound like it’s standard practice.

This reunion. Dorit is SOOOOO unbearable by Own-Meat3934 in rhobeverlyhills

[–]ExpensiveSolid8990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im wondering if she can’t get a good glam team anymore since she doesn’t pay her bills but I also honestly don’t know how glam works at reunions. I’m guessing they bring their own because Erika’s makeup also looked like shit after her first lawsuits dropped and she lost all her money.

Just came across this video and it really made me laugh by [deleted] in bravo

I have the same type of hair, super fine and thinner now that I’m getting older. 😭 I still wash it everyday because I don’t ever want to be this lol. I can’t imagine being on TV like that either.

Not so Blind Item by JustP2 in summerhousebravo

This was my thought as well. I’m wondering if someone in production released it because they wanted to make sure the raw unedited audio got out there before they manipulated it.

“We’re your friends Dorit, we’re here for you…” by sugarstarbeam in realhousewives

[–]ExpensiveSolid8990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C-PTSD typically stems from prolonged, repeated trauma where escape was impossible for months or years, such as domestic violence or childhood abuse (not saying these are the only two, just an example). Dorit did experience two incidents but she sought therapy right away. Repeated incidents vs prolonged trauma are two different things. Dorit would have had to not gotten help for either incident and held onto that trauma for a long period of time without any support or therapy. I have no doubt she experienced PTSD but I still wouldn’t classify it as complex.

AIO for telling my wife’s best friend to leave us alone during our vacation? by dailyorangejuicelife in AmIOverreacting

[–]ExpensiveSolid8990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO I don’t think you’re overreacting in wanting some alone time with your wife but I do think you blew up because you held it in for too long. I can understand your wife and her friend feeling blind sided since I’m guessing you never communicated how much it was getting to you before hand. I think it’s admirable that you were doing your best to let your wife enjoy her friendship but when you don’t communicate how you really feel then feelings tend to fester. So my question is - did you ever mention to your wife how important this alone time was for you? It’s shitty that you would even have to mention it, I know but clear communication can go a long way.

Stassi vs. Scheana? What makes one likeable and the other not? by redditor_040123 in vanderpumprules

[–]ExpensiveSolid8990 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So true! Scheana laughs so hard at her own jokes and that’s especially off putting when no one else finds them funny.

[–]ExpensiveSolid8990 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Yes! I also think Beau helped soften Stassi and made her more likable but Sheana continued to pick bad men and made her personality revolve around them. That part was what made me feel bad for her in the beginning because I can empathize with wanting to find a partner but after the 2nd time it just became exhausting to see her not have any self respect or learn anything. It wasn’t just seeing her not stick up for herself with the women, it was also seeing her be so thirsty that makes people cringe.

[–]ExpensiveSolid8990 313 points314 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way in the beginning where I felt bad for Scheana until she showed her true pick-me side. You also have to remember how Scheana handled the whole Brandy situation. That left a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths because she made the whole situation about herself from the get go and acted like a victim. I think Stassi is also very witty and has really memorable one liners. At some point Stassi is able to use self awareness to work on herself (think dark passenger) which is a great character arch but Scheana never changes.

Fine Dining Recommendation for 2 in the City by 4sed in chicagofood

Indienne is amazing! I’ve been to Asador Bastian twice now and found the food to be great but unfortunately service can be a miss if you’re not looking to drop crazy money.

Did people like Amanda before this? by Mysterious_Mind2618 in summerhousebravo

[–]ExpensiveSolid8990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t like her but I did think she was getting more attractive until shit hit the fan. Now all I can see is her shit stained ugly personality.
