Am I the only one who thinks the hate sex between Jon and Nancy would be ridiculous? UH yeah I went there, but there is just something about those two.
Also, last night's Its Always Sunny was the second best episode EVER. Wine in a can. Gail the Snail. GEMS!
I never get asked about things like "most annoying words," because I'd probably look into the camera and say, "America, your love affair with 'antidisestablishmentariansm' has got to end. END, I SAY."
Also, one of my fave 30 Rock moments is when Sherri Shepherd as Mrs. Tracy Jordan has a new ring that Liz Lemon calls "bling bling." Sherri gives her a cold look and says "it belonged to Brooke Astor."
When my beloved comes home that drunk, I refer to him as "drunks mcgee". So naturally this lady is now "journalist mcgee". I have no idea why the common descriptor gets dropped. I DON'T MAKE THE RULES
Also, I have never watched the woman who yells at Jon Gosselin's show, but if she can insert that much contempt into the simple phrase "don't care," maybe I should start. And take notes.
@morninggloria: I'm with you. Nine carats? Holy crap. Her hand/ring scale looks like when Barbies had holes punched in their hands, so you could insert a rhinestone on a stick for a ring.
BTW, I'm not a fan of diamonds in general, but there are always those awesome lab created ones. I think the biggest they can get up to is two or three carats, however, so KK's probably came from a long trail of suffering and pain.
@Beets.Go.On is the Fat Yogini: Totally. I tried watching like three episodes and COULD NOT get into them. It's like a bad try at a modern seinfeld (what with four terribly unlikeable characters) but instead is not funny and is weird.
@Beets.Go.On is the Fat Yogini: I feel bad for you because that show gives me the LOLz for days. Seriously. Wake up the neighbors LOLz. Funniest show on TV in my opinion (and a lot of others...)
Can I just say that damn Insider interview is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen? I can play the part where she asks him why everything is always about him over and over again.
You know,I have to say. She had no evidence that she had sex for drugs, and saying "I don't believe you" was way out of line. Clearly this person is an addict, but I don't think breaking some one down is the best way to help them deal with their addiction. AA stresses how much you need to acknowledge that you're "powerless", and the have a HORRIBLE relapse rate.
@PrisonBreakShaker: I think she was trying to get it through to the girl that she doesn't buy for a second that people really just give her drugs. If she doesn't pay for them, steal for them, or fuck for them, what is she doing? Dealers and other addicts are not that charitable to always give some pretty girl drugs for free all the time. No way.
People that work in recovery are usually very no-nonsense, brutally honest, in your face kind of people, especially if they're former addicts. They've been through the whole process too, and usually are mirroring what worked best with them, which was harsh and no bullshit.
@PrisonBreakShaker: The concept of powerlessness in AA is to get you to acknowledge that you are unable to manage your addiction. In other words, you are powerless in that you do not have the power to drink responsibly, you will never be able to learn to drink like other people, and so just stop trying, and learn to live a different life. We acknowledge we are "powerless over alcohol"not powerless over EVERYTHING.
On the other hand, AA stresses accountability in every single other aspect, in terms of taking responsibility for your own happiness and for taking responsibility for cleaning up the mess you made while drinking.
AA does not have a "terrible relapse rate." Addicts and Alcoholics have a terrible relapse rate, because it is a terrible disease. AA performs about the same as other treatments. Quoting from wikipedia "A Cochrane Review of eight studies, published between 1967 and 2005, measuring the effectiveness of AA, found no significant difference between the results of AA and twelve-step facilitation approaches compared to other treatments."
@lucystrawberry: Tier 2 is the new black: Well, I stand corrected. I thought it was AA specifically.
However, I think this woman saying "Look, you're a total wreck- look at your life," doesn't have to involve allegations sexual habits she may or may not have, without any evidence. There's enough concrete evidence that her life is a wreck without implying that she has sex for drugs. Perhaps it was just edited poorly, but that's really what it looked like to me.
@PrisonBreakShaker: "She had no evidence that she had sex for drugs, and saying 'I don't believe you' was way out of line."
I think you must have missed the part where Tara was kicked out of rehab because she "was pregnant, and the father was her drug dealer." The child is evidence that Tara had sex with her dealer. I submit that a scenario where Tara was both having sex with her dealer and paying for the drugs she procured from said dealer is, in fact, unbelievable.
@cirocco: Ah, welp. You're right. I did miss that. My mistake, again. Other than her saying "I don't believe you" though, couldn't she say, "I have evidence that proves you are lying"? It seems like they didn't give this woman the ins and outs of the addict's situation. CAN'T SHE SEE THE BLACK SCREENS WITH THE WHITE LETTERING THAT WE SEE?!?
@brendahamLincoln: at first i thought it said, PUPPY LICKING RESEARCHER, and i was like, what would be bad about getting kissed by puppies all day?!?!?!
Good lord addiction is a fucking nightmare. I love Intervention, sometimes it makes me sad, sometimes it makes me angry but it almost always evokes emotions. I have to say it seems a helluva lot more personal since my brother in law died of alcoholism last year, he wasn't even 50. Sometimes I can't watch in intervention part of it, it makes me bawl my eyes out. The devil invented addiction, I just know it. What a life ruiner it can be.
@I_b_meh: What a tragic thing to have happen. Alcoholism is firmly rooted in my family's history, and the effects are devastating. You get a sort of fatigue from it, a war-weariness, but just like war you never loose the pain from it in any way. It's shit. There aren't any other words for it but utterly miserable shit.

Sure maybe she just really liked her dealer, but I believe that constitutes evidence.
