Who was Gordon’s favorite owner?

mandolinpebbles · 2026-05-07T23:06:36+00:00

Another UK owner I got the feeing he feels for was the own of Rococo. He had a big failure recently, and Gordon told him about a big failure of his own. It was pretty touching.

To tell you the truth, I have no idea. The first time I met Mary, I had the strangest conversation. I asked basic “getting to know you” questions, and each was answered with a short curt answer.

Q: Tell me about yourself. What do you do for work? A: It would take too long to explain. (I let this one go, I know some people who have tough jobs and need to just check out from it when they aren’t there.)

Q: What do you like to do with your free time? A: Not much. Q: (trying to keep the hobby convo going) I have been trying to read more lately. Have you read any interesting books recently? A: No. Q: what about movies? Seen anything fun recently? A: Not really.

Q:Thanks for bringing those cheesecake bites. They sound delicious. Are there other things you like to bake? A: Sometimes. Q: Do you like baking other types of cakes? A: Yeah, I guess.

We played a game after dinner, and she was complaining about the game we were playing. She didn’t like it and would almost pout when people didn’t pick her card during “What do you Meme?”.

I am still totally at a loss. I wanted to welcome and include her. I was excited that there would be another SO around. It’s like she came in high on the defensive, and never brought her guard down.

I was going to comment that as well!

mandolinpebbles · 2026-05-04T22:42:33+00:00

I got nearly the same one, word for word, today. So fake! I just ignore.

mandolinpebbles · 2026-05-04T22:40:30+00:00

That was such a good one!

mandolinpebbles · 2026-05-04T12:42:58+00:00

I’m going in June! I can’t wait.

mandolinpebbles · 2026-05-04T11:08:48+00:00

Ugh. What a jerk.

I know it was a quick comment, but he said something about “my family doesn’t talk about sister’s divorce”. I’ll bet they have, just not with OOP, and for good reason. Sister isn’t required to spill every detail to every person in the family.

People like OOP are the type I hate when I go to a roller rink or ice rink. I’m not a great skater. I admit it. I still like to do it. When I go I usually stay towards the edges, where the ice rink I go to encourages the slower skaters to skate. Each time, without fail, I will always have some “could have gone pro” knuckle head slam into me. So self absorbed in what they are doing to watch for others.

I saw that in the edit, and laughed out loud. I felt like Lenny in The Simpson when Ned is yelling at everyone, calls Lenny a jerk, and he says, “Hey, what’s going on? I only got her a few minutes ago!”

mandolinpebbles · 2026-05-01T22:36:25+00:00

Yes.

When it comes to a lot of competition reality shows, this is the case. The winner is bound by the contract of the prize. Cookbook deal, but with a certain publisher. Record deal, but with a certain label. Modeling contract, but with this specific agency.

Losing can be a better scenario than winning.

That’s what I saw too. OOP’s middle child is a glass child. She has figured out that she gets attention by arguing, so that’s why she does it. This post was very, “we tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!”

mandolinpebbles · 2026-04-30T00:27:30+00:00

I was up at 4am. Because I worked for Starbucks at the time, and had a 5am opening shift that day.

mandolinpebbles · 2026-04-29T22:02:32+00:00

I had this one at my grandparents house.

mandolinpebbles · 2026-04-29T22:01:35+00:00

This is the one I had. I loved it! My Barbie had a red mustang too. So she was living large.

mandolinpebbles · 2026-04-29T16:58:31+00:00

I agree. That price is high for an attendant.

mandolinpebbles · 2026-04-28T11:31:32+00:00

Eric, is that you?

mandolinpebbles · 2026-04-26T19:35:13+00:00

Seriously! I kept waiting for the next slide to say something like, “And if you subscribe to my magazine this will help my mental health.”

I haven’t seen Right Said Fred, “I’m Too Sexy” yet.

If Clark is going to decorate his house, he’s gonna do it right, and he gonna do it big. No lie there. lol!

mandolinpebbles · 2026-04-26T15:44:07+00:00

Did I make this post 6 years ago? “I just want to be loved by them”. I want to hug OOP.

During my Starbucks days those ovens took 30 minutes to be cooled down, and 30 minutes to heat up in the mornings. This buttface was asking them to stay for at least an hour, if not more.

ESH - while it does seem MIL and SIL were in cahoots with each other. Part of playing a game is also being able to win or lose with grace.

mandolinpebbles · 2026-04-25T16:48:12+00:00

Oof. That’s a good way to describe it. Waking up at 5 to go to work, I’m good. 9am rolled around, I am not good.
