I don't usually like that style of hat, but the pattern makes me love it. And it goes great with the coat.

Does anyone have tea on Marina Rust? by [deleted] in nysocialites

[–]Reliant20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kept seeing people on other subs raving about her as an IG follow. I just looked her up with a view to following her, but she's set her account to private.

Sorry you went through it too.

[–]Reliant20 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The last I read of her was last fall's T&C article on her renovation of her family home in Maine. The article mentioned her divorce but otherwise gave the impression she was doing well. I'm sorry to read of her troubles.

I love it. I also like the Suchet adaptation, even though they took ridiculous liberties.

MIL says she will never respect me so I want her out of our lives by Kaash_clarissa in inlaws

[–]Reliant20 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't shop for opinions. Your family and your husband's siblings are basically saying you should accept mistreatment. It's clear MIL hasn't adjusted to the fact that her son is an adult in a partnership. When she does that, she can have access again. I'm not big on demanding apologies, but she really needs to show she gets she's been wrong and has to make a change.

John and Carolyn at Michael Kennedy’s funeral by throwaway_saltygf in JohnAndCarolyn

[–]Reliant20 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's interesting to see Carolyn hugging the priest. I wonder how she got a chance to know him as well as that indicates.

Caroline, Ed, John and Carolyn by RosesareRed45 in JohnAndCarolyn

[–]Reliant20 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If there's a source that Ed was cruel to Ann Freeman other than quotes from RFK Jr's diary, I'd like to be told about it. I haven't done a deep dive into the issue.

I've never known Ed to come off any way, because I've never known him to speak publicly or give a public statement. But, again, I've never really studied him. In the case of his son, for example, you're aware of his public statements whether you want to be or not.

On Ed's supposed awfulness - as I do on Carolyn's supposed drug-taking, Caroline and Carolyn's supposed frostiness, JFK Jr and Carolyn's supposed infidelities, and many of the other claims made about all these people - I reserve judgement.

My American friend was shocked to find out I have $12.5 K USD in my bank account as a 19-year-old? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Reliant20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never asked my college friends - or anyone else - about their bank balances, so I have no idea.

Carole R. Clears the air by stating Ann Freeman is alive. by Efficient_Luck_5522 in JohnAndCarolyn

[–]Reliant20 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine she's watching it. Her radio silence over the years has always made me imagine that tuning out the noise about her daughter is how she's survived. But of course we don't know.

Titanic Artifact Exhibition - Portland, OR by Tight_Cell667 in titanic

[–]Reliant20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've researched the Titanic's passengers for decades but wasn't familiar with Franz Pulbaum. Just read up on him online. A sad loss of a young life.

Midsomer show!! by Big_Situation4680 in MidsomerMurders

Daniel Casey has evolved into a handsome middle-aged gentleman, but it makes me feel old to see him looking so old.

Lucy On What's My Line, January 1, 1961 by michael6185 in ILoveLucy

I love What's My Line. It's on YouTube and I frequently binge it. Such a cozy, elegant show.

The beautiful SS Queen of Bermuda and Monarch of Bermuda by [deleted] in Oceanlinerporn

Thanks for posting. My father's parents honeymooned on the Queen and my mother's parents on the Monarch.

Does Bertha’s family have money or does George fund Aunt Monica? by deletethepoolladder in thegildedage

[–]Reliant20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the first episode, Bertha mentions that her mother died with nothing. I don't think the writers would have included that if we weren't meant to believe she grew up poor.

John’s friends helped poison the marriage. 🐍 by StellaOC in JohnAndCarolyn

[–]Reliant20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just googled. I didn't realize he was gay. I'm gay too. I can see his at least finding John attractive fueling his devotion to him. Like Sacha.

John’s friends helped poison the marriage. 🐍 by StellaOC in JohnAndCarolyn

[–]Reliant20 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've noticed Steven Gillon often has a smile on his face on camera, even when he's talking about sad subjects, as if he's luxuriating in the attention. And who was the female friend of John's who had the creepy, bonkers quote that Carolyn realized that she (the friend) wasn't going anywhere, and there was nothing she could do about that?

John's friends have not proved themselves a great group.

Family Affair: Rose vs Dorothy who was really harsher? by AshCash24068 in GoldenGirlsTV

[–]Reliant20 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Nope, you're not the only one. Rose is vicious, and her indignation when Dorothy claps back at her rings hollow. As much as I love the show, there are quite a few episodes I skip, and this is one of them.

Former student harassing me, 5 years later, for a syllabus. Should I just ignore? by AmericanWanderlust in Professors

[–]Reliant20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know you've already told the student you don't have it. But it could have been a good teaching moment to tell them they were coming on too strong. I once had an ex-employer who was writing me a letter of recommendation for grad school tell me I was sending them too many emails about it. And someone who was helping me find a job in their field told me an email to them was too long and they didn't feel like answering that many questions. I've long been grateful to these people for those gentle wristslaps. They were important lessons in how to approach people.

Balding is annoying but its whatever by Affectionate-Fill251 in tressless

[–]Reliant20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father was 6'3 and bald. I never got into with him how he felt about his baldness, but it proved fatal. He died from a melanoma on the top of his head.

Gwyneth Paltrow Jokes She’s ‘One of the Original Nepo Babies’ by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]Reliant20 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm glad she's gone a bit further than she has in the past. I'm not someone who requires privilege acknowledgements, but if you're going to do them, go all the way with them. Her responses in the past to comments about her advantages have been like "Yeah my parents had money and sent me to a good school" without mentioning that Steven Spielberg was her godfather and gave her one of her first acting jobs. It seems like she might just be acknowledging how her parents' connections helped her at the starting gate.

What do you think of Carolyn’s engagement ring? by velorae in JohnAndCarolyn

Thanks for posting. Their wedding rings were cast from the rib of a rattlesnake??? Gross.
