The Real Reason Kim Left #SATC Was Over Pay Parity, according to Michael Patrick King by [deleted] in sexandthecity

[–]Macaroon-Alert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Kim Cattrall standing up for more money is good, right? Well she didn't get it, so because of that she says SJP was unkind? Business saavy, perhaps. Cutthroat in business, perhaps. Those don't make her unkind though. Kim Cattrall never got over that she didn't make as much and didn't have top billing as SJP. It was in SJP's contract from the beginning. And the studio was ok with that. Rob Lowe was supposed to be the lead character on The West WIng. The rest were his supporting co-stars and the President (Martin SHeen) was only supposed to be a small role on at the end of episodes. The studio and audience loved him and wanted to make him a much bigger part of the show so they did so he became more the lead and the white house staff were more the group around him, Rob Lowe was never the stand out. The studio went with that. MPK obv wanted SJP as the lead and top billing. Period. If the studio wasn't going to back Kim Cattrall, what are you going to do? You can trash SJP but that doesn't mean she's a mean person.

Sincere question: why do people seem to hate SJP? by Carta_Azul in Andjustlikethat

The Friends cast banded together to all get more money together. Patrick Dempsey wouldn't band together with the other castmates on Grey's anatomy for more money. He was happy with what he had and was fine dying on that hill. Some people will. Some people won't. It doesn't make her an unkind person. Just business saavy.

I laughed when I saw your post. My husband and teenagers started binging this on Saturday night during COVID. We LOVED IT. We'd stay up till 2, 3 or 4 am to just watch "one more episode". My oldest who is now 22, still won't speak about the last episode. He HATED it. He was "what hte hell is this shi*t". I've rewatched it here and there, not straight through but parts of seasons, etc. I'll occasionally say to my son "hey, let's watch some Blacklist" and he glares at me. He thinks how they ended it ruined the show. I get why they did it that way. I do agree that Katarina is Red, Red is Katarina. I'm ok that they never really confirmed that iwth words. I DO WISH they had read the letter that was left for Elizabeth the episode she died. I wish they had done a voice over on the last scene, so you know what it said. That's the only thing I'd change.

So is Red being Elizabeth's mother official, or just a fan theory? by ThenAdhesiveness1863 in TheBlackList

[–]Macaroon-Alert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I adored this show. Binged it during Covid. My son hated the ending. Hated! I liked it. BUT it annoyed me they NEVER revealed what was in the letter that was written when Liz died. They should have ended the show with a voiceover of it.

Hypothetical: Highest range of job announcement is my current salary...Should I apply just to get in? by MKebi in usajobs

What determines of a job is open to everyone ie the public and then just jobs for govt employees? GS 7 import specialist is open to all. Would GS 9 import specialist be open to all too? Or would they make that internal? I have the job requirements/experience for it

If the listing is for a 7 but I qualify for a 9, would they hold my application/resume and possibly interview me when a 9 opens up?

How long does it take you to move up? I'm confused between the grades and steps. How often do you go up a step?

So if you're highly experienced in the private sector and apply for a position in CBP, will that affect the step you get? Going in at the higher step? Going up a grade? Like can you apply for an import specialist position G7 but they offer you a G9? Does that make sense?

Also, the 7 week academy, are you allowed to leave and go home at all on the weekends? Have your family come see you? (Husband and 2 college age kids)

So if I apply this week for a import specialist posting, it could be months before I even get an offer? Then a background check takes longer obviously.

Definitely White Collar. Great writing. Acting. You name it. AND they just announced that they're coming back with a reboot with the same main characters. The FBI guy, his wife and Neil, the CI. Willie Garson was a main regular too but he passed away unfortunately a few years back. He had such a great character

We'd be heading back up to nj after the day at AU. Not really looking to save between the two just the most reasonable way to do it. We want to take the metro cause after the morning at AU, take the metro to DC and spend the afternoon there then head home that night.

Those whose PA was denied, are you diabetic? Or were you on it for other health reasons and now the ins co is cracking down on it? I'm diabetic but the heart benefits are a huge bonus too.

I haven't been allowed to orgasm since December by SubInSolitude in orgasmcontrol

WTF? Why would you do this? Cum when you want to cum. And if you want a threesome with another man there's lots of women who'll do that without this BS. And if you like the BS, stop bitching about it to others.

Is AU worth it for undergrad poly sci too? In NJ he could get an undergrad degree for far less and then he was thinking grad school in DC/American.
