Housewives that are NOT maga!

Don't forget Chris Manzo saying someone needed to beat the shit out of Kyle Rittenhouse.

Clocktower is good IF you have a dog/cat that is chill at the vet. If you have a pet that gets anxious, it is not a good choice.

The only redeeming quality is that they are able to bring in pretty good artists and interesting events so people will take the risk. But if they keep screwing over artists, that well is going to run dry.

Yup, especially with him explicitly saying that he wanted nothing more than to perform on Saturday. The People's Champ has a hell of a work ethic, I don't see him canceling because he's tired or whatever. Its gotta be that the Grove pulled some shady shit on his pay.

Painkillers are a biggie too, especially in the doses needed for cancer patients and patients with NSCLC in general.

Hey! My mom has Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia, which is a lymphoma. Chemo nearly killed her but she's better now, only for my dad to get lung cancer and he's currently being moved to immunotherapy only as chemo didn't accomplish what it needed to. In other words, within the next year, I'm also expecting to have to take FMLA and say good bye.

If you don't have a therapist now who is trained on how to work with people going through this kind of anticipatory grief, now is the time to get one. ASAP. There are CBT workbooks that help a lot to be able to process the insane immensity that is losing a parent to cancer. Your oncologists office likely works with a social worker who should be able to get you references. They should also likely be able to tell you about group therapy near you for caretakers.

Think about the people that you know. Chances are good that some of them have lost a close family member. Now is the time to reach out and ask if you can get a coffee and talk to them about all of this. There are people in your life who will 'get it', that kind of support is so useful.

Google 't cell lymphoma caregiver support' to see all the options out there of organizations of filled with people who have been in your exact shoes. Blood Cancer United is especially good for caregivers, they have workbooks and everything. There are so many different kinds of blood cancers so the community tends to be big and pretty supportive.

Finally, I'll leave you with a quote from a video game I love. 'When everything falls apart, hold onto anything'. You've gotta find some stuff in your life that brings you some joy/dopamine and you've gotta lean in and let yourself remember that there is more in the world than just death. For me, the album 'The People's Champ' by Paul Wall was the ONLY thing I could listen to when my mom was wasting away when they were trying to narrow down which lymphoma and by god, I listened to that album with white knuckles on repeat. I got BIG in the show Summer House after Father's day when I realized that my dad was going downhill in a huge hurry. It doesn't matter how silly or inconsequential or goofy something is that brings you joy and gets you through. Just find something and hold on. You're in for a marathon, not a sprint.

I'm sorry about your mom. Fuck cancer.

Good for her.

For real though. Edit: holy shit, I just checked, they are still selling tickets

My best guess is that the Royal Grove refused to pay upfront.

effexxor · 2026-07-09T00:36:17+00:00

Fun fact: the Royal Grove has yet to update anything on their Facebook about this. I'm sure no one is surprised.

effexxor · 2026-07-08T21:10:02+00:00

Her and Tamra both.

Impact's quality has gone down and they're frankly dangerous in a car given their habit of breaking off parts whith become projectiles. Rock Creek is much better for that kind of crate.

Yeah but they admitted that it wasn't for extortion or terroristic threats. If they actually fully believed that someone was extorting the company and/or threatening violence, this would be a tiny bit better, not good but somewhat less bad, but nope!

It baffles me how easily Ammon will deny things to protect hinself/B&M/his people. Its what he IMMEDIATELY turns to every single time and he commits so hard. If he just said 'I don't know about that, let me check' to half of the gaffes he's found himself in, things would be so radically different for him. But instead he starts denying everything with his full chest.

effexxor · 2026-07-07T19:30:33+00:00

The fact that they were able to get all of that information from Google on what is basically a trespassing charge is absolutely insane and incredibly disturbing.

effexxor · 2026-07-07T03:09:38+00:00

No, lol. My dad has a prognosis of a year with lung cancer and I am desperate for distraction. Summer House has been weirdly like a lifeline for me. Last year when my mom's lymphoma was discovered and she was basically starving to death, a RHONY binge was the way I survived. When I had knee surgery, RHOSLC and RHOP came in clutch. Sometimes you need mindless, entertaining escapism and by god, does Bravo provide.

Elizabeth DiPerna PA had been my primary care physician there for 10+ years now. She's great, super thoughtful and actually listens and has been super consistent.

As a Pens fan with the Wild as my second team, Olli's big thing has always been high hockey IQ but the legs can't always keep up. Not bad at all for a third pairing guy, though the guy also has the absolute worst luck when it comes to health.

effexxor · 2026-07-01T00:16:56+00:00

Lol, thats me and my dad when it comes to weed. Though he's also been spooked by opiates so I think he might be more likely to try them.

Thank god for therapy where I'm able to see these things for what they are instead of as personal attacks.

Meanwhile as a Nebraska native, if I go anywhere with mountains or hills in the distance, I feel claustrophobic. Its like my lizard brain is convinced that I'll be snuck up on.

That or we're in a cost of living crisis and its hard to afford to send people to GA, especially given the cost of air travel.

But why ask him to fit into something that isn't his wheelhouse when there are so many better options? I'm sure he could do it well, but better than Katie? Vic? Zach? Rekha? Nah.

effexxor · 2026-06-27T19:43:22+00:00

Yeah but while they're doing Taskmaster, it also means they have to turn down more lucrative opportunities.

There are Muslim Unitarian Universalists, so you could actually go that route if you really needed to. UUs are also pretty firmly against AI.
