PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"DUH! moments" |
Every once in a while, I'll have what I call a DUH! moment. I participated in one of my husband's DUH! moments on Saturday. We were on the Westside Highway in NYC and driving back home when we hit really bad traffic near the Javits Center. My husband decided he wanted to go over to the east side to avoid the traffic. I hit "Detour" on the GPS and it directed us down 34th Street. So we went. Did I mention it was on a Saturday evening? In December? Two weeks before Christmas? The traffic was obscene. There were throngs of people standing in the street right outside Macy's. We would have been better off staying on the west side. My husband, trying to see the bright side of the situation, said that maybe we could find a parking spot and get something to eat. Sure. And Santa Claus is real. Then, on Monday, I had my very own personal DUH! moment (that I can't blame on my husband) when I went shopping for gifts for my clients. I figured I needed 10 gifts so I had a great idea. I would buy 2 cases of wine (1 white and 1 red), 10 baskets, and some nice Lindt or Ghiradelli chocolates and make up some baskets. The extra 2 bottles of white and 2 bottles of red would be for me. Good plan, right? After I bought the wine and headed to the craft store, I remembered that two of my clients don't drink. Then I remembered that it probably would not be a good idea to give a wine basket to my newest client, who is the director of a faith-based men's alcohol and drug rehabilitation center. And I'm pretty sure he's a graduate of the program, as are most of the other men who work there. So now I have 5 bottles of wine - which can't be returned because of a NYS law. DUH!

I Googled GritTV - I obviously had NO input into the programming of that show.My gritTV would probably have: - Shows that teach you how to make your house look clean to everyone else in the family yet take only minutes to clean, leaving you plenty of time to read and surf the RTVW boards. "Why won't this closet door close?" "Don't open that closet door!" "Hey - why is the bed 3" higher than it was this morning?" "Don't look underneath!" -Shows that allow people to call in and complain about insignificant things. The callers would have to be funny. If they're not or they cross the line and start talking about serious issues or (dog forbid) politics, they'll get cut off and the producers of the show will share the caller's phone number with every telemarketer in the country. -Cooking shows that only use dark chocolate and red wine as the ingredients. -Talk shows where stupid girls would come on and force a guy to take a paternity test because he HAS to be the baby daddy (because she ain't slept with no one else) only to find out that the guy's best friend (or maybe it was his brother) is actually the father. At this point in the show, grit would whip out a machine gun and get rid of them all for polluting our country with stupidity. -Reality TV shows where the contestants actually have to have real survival skills to live in the wild, actual musical/dancing talent, or be tall/skinny/young/pretty enough to be a top model. -News shows where the tell you the weather at the beginning of the newscast rather than teasing you for the whole hour and there are NO sports scores.

First, pour all the wine into a mostly-waterproof box...

*does the math*grit + 10 bottles of wine, um, carry the 3, divide by the square root of 42 = NO! I was just confessing to my stupidity and wondering if anyone else had something dumb to confess. Nice try, though! Handcrafted by the incredibly wonderful RollDdiceLike I'm really going to share my wine. Next you'll be asking me to share my dark chocolate too!

This has happened at least twice in the last month...In the teacher restroom (stall), somebody put an extra roll of toilet paper perched on top of the wall-mounted roll. A slight *bump* and that extra roll takes a tumble. **SPLASH** Could not have had better aim if it was intentional. So much for redundancy. A Molaholic Christmas from Agman ©MMIX

No, you're not stupid. Your brains are slightly addled because you have small children. Having children sucks your brain cells out. Don't worry. Have some wine and chocolate. It will make everything better.

LAST EDITED ON 12-17-09 AT 09:29 AM (EST)The Miata got a flat about 2 weeks ago; it's been too cold to get out try to fix it - & with another vehicle to drive, why get out in the cold? Long story short, I stood in the middle of the shop turning round and round and round looking for the scissor jack. Our shop is well organized but I couldn't see it anywhere! It's in its own little gray plastic box - easy to identify - but not there. So I looked in the other smaller shed; not there. I went back into the shop - again in the middle - and turn round and round. I was getting very frustrated. I had to jack the car up (& the scissor jack is much easier than getting the jack out of the trunk & all). I finally stepped down out of the shop and turned around & looked back. You know where this is going right? The jack was right in the middle of the floor beside DH's small took box. I had been standing right on top of it while turning round and round. Crusin w/ TribeE cause ifentify isn't the word I needed
