Its a Show-Off!

NJ Housewives....what a mess, I can't believe these women agreed to doing this show, you have to wonder (beside the money) what they get out of it. I guess that's it, the money and then the quick and short fame they will get from it. Franklin Lakes (where most of them live) is a upscale town, with homes of a million or more, you have to wonder how they face their neighbors. Teresa's new home is in Montville, which is another upscale town. The communion I went to a couple of weeks ago was in Montville, the homes there are again a million or more. Montville is such a quiet peaceful town, just like Franklin Lakes, the stir that this show is making, must have these towns in a buzz.. They certainly can't be proud, can they?

As I watch this show, I just shake my head at these Italian Jersey Girls, because I know for fact its all true. Jersey Girls need to put on a show, their house has to better then the others, their hair, jewelry, husbands etc. all have to be noticed and better than the rest. The big hair, french manicures, boobies all come with being a Jersey Girl. And all that I have mentioned are fake, just as they are.

The restaurant that served as the "fight sight" is 15 minutes from where I live, I can't even believe they allowed that to go on there. But then again, the restaurant gets exposure as well, so in the end they benefit to.

I am so different from the Jersey Girls portrayed, and thank goodness for that. Yes I am a Jersey Girl, but so not fake. I am real and proud of it. However on a side note, I can be loud at times and have been know to
throw a punch or two.. lol

Geez, this show gets my irritation level to the highest!

YAY!! Off to read..

Congrats on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th MEK! Enjoy your walk!

scirish said...

Sure....stop to pee and look what happens!

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

Congrats on first MEK!!!

Carol I have watched all of the housewives shows except Atlanta. I even toyed with a blog because these shows are so over the top. HOUSEWIVES my ass!!!! I think I have seen two of them cook and none of them clean!!!

OH and those CA housewives don't get them to close to the bbq or they would melt faster than the wicked witch around water!

The Jersey girls scare the hell out of me! I told this to Sacbarb. I also told her I was afraid to ask you if this was really how Jersey girls are?

I have to say I had a stereotyping moment when Teresa paid 120,000 cash for the furniture to go in her new house. My eyebrows shot up and I mumbled Mafioso! Who the hell pays 120,000 CASH like that?? She just pulled out of her purse like it was an everyday thing, like buying groceries. YIKES

Oh and Carolines kid that wants to start a car wash strip club, OY! LMAO Mommy just wants him to have a strip club she can be proud of???? Lord!

These shows are like watching a train wreck. I just can't stop, it is mesmerizing in a voyueristic way.

How come all the housewives I know wear jeans and sweat shirts and cook and clean? Not only do they clean this one gal I know has a hazmat kit for her car!

Zona said...

CAROL: I've only seen a couple episodes of this show..and I think they were the Real Housewives of Orange County or something like that. My sister absolutely loves the show..she's been bugging me to watch so we can discuss it.

I think you are a wonderful, real as they get Jersey Girl. If I ever make you mad though, please tell me so I can duck. I know I'm no match for that Jersey Girl punch!! ;)

Loved your blog today CAROL, thank you! :)

Zona said...

SCIRISH: Next time type 1 and then pee.. ;)

LYNND: The California 'housewives' were something else. And their kids...oh my...

Lynn D said...

Morning Zona Morning Scrishy!

Zona they provide weird entertainment for sure! I know I watch and think "Wow" I am so normal! LMAO

Lynn D said...

I have a long day again today. Food Bank and then meetings about the food bank after.

Yesterday I was gone all day, but I did get my cracked tooth fixed! Yay!!!

I did catch up and I want to send Joey big (((Hugs))). I am so sorry for his loss.

Lynn D said...

Jodi since Iteach was talking about artificial insemination. I thought a horse pull would have had a whole different meaning than what you described! :)

Zona said...

AREA 51:

DIANNE: Oh..you know that necklace is gonna see pool action. I promise not to get it wet tho' ;)

JODI: ..sizes and shapes... ;)

Today is the beginning of the big warm up..by the weekend it's gonna be 107...I gotta think of someway to stay cool, dang...

bonachichi said...

Good morning MEK, Zona, scrish and LynnD. Carol, I don't know what to say about those HW shows. I wish they'd take them off the air.

Mary/MI said...

Good morning MEK, Zona, scrish and LynnD. Carol,& Bonacci

MEK,holy moley you are up early for a west coaster! Must be doggie walking time.Congrats on 1-fore!

It is 62 deg. and raining here in Mich.

Carol, I watched a little bit of the Jersey HW.I was stunned at the new unfurnished house! Who needs that much space? I missed the cash paying part. It was hard to keep watching such silliness. I will prob. keep checking back though lol!

I have a G.M. Retiree's lunch today in the big city. I go mostly to keep up on the latest financial woes of the now-in-bankruptcy Co. I have a vested interested! I just hope my 401k doesn't shrink anymore!
bbl I have to get my face on. I hope it is still in "the jar" lol!

East Bay J said...

Good morning!

Congrats on 1st MEK! Yipee!

Carol, I have never watched any of the "housewives" shows. I did try to tune into the NJ one a couple weekends ago, but even tho it was listed, there was another show instead.

My sister in law is a Jersey Girl, I can't stand her. She is nothing like you describe, although she is proud to tell everyone she is a Jersey Girl.

She is a bitch, probably the only thing remotely close to the housewives, besides being born there.

At their wedding reception she even had the Jersey Girl song played.

I will have to try watching again!

Lynn I thought the hose pull was the same as you! I took "pulling" as something to do with insemination lol.

Mary, will get the book mailed out to you this week. Probably Friday, when MR. EBJ can take it to the post office.

Nancy the kitty is being very naughty, and Poe is egging her on. I keep saying NO to her, and he keeps saying GOOD GIRL.

Hope everyone has a nice day today!

scirish said...

Carol....I've never seen the show(s) but it seems to me that most of the "reality" shows are just people acting out to get on TV. The lows that some of them stoop to truly amaze me.

Area 51...Carol..I LOVE the little orange suitcase...But then, I am a sucker for decorative boxes and baskets..

Iteach....I don't think I will ever look at farm animals the same way..(or farmers for that matter)

Joey...((Hugs))

Whabby...I hope you get your arm??

Tina....It doesn't seem very logical that the creep's "daughter" would send a SEVEN page porn text...I would call the police too.

scirish said...

EBJ...."Hose" pull having something to do with insemination??? I can't stop laughing!!!! Whew!

MEK in AZ said...

Just got back from the dog park..

now - I need to go back to bed - but i have WAY too much to do today!!

AND - i just noticed that i spelled WEDNESDAY wrong!! LOL..
oh well - it was WAY too early..

and - I agreed to walk again tomorrow at that ungodly hour!!! WTF am I thinking??!!

cpgem - I have never watched any of these "Housewives" shows - but I'm sure they are "amazing"...(NOT)..

waving howdy to Zona, Scirish, Lynn, bonacci, Mary, EBJ, and all who land...

I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)

MEK in AZ said...

Tinka will be along for a march - I better get moving...

MEK in AZ said...

First and twenty five!!!

sounds like a football announcer!!

Dianne/Denver said...

From Area 51:
TINA: I would have done the same thing you did and I think I maybe would call the police and just see what they say about it. I am so proud of your daughter for coming to you with it right away. Hopefully, she didn't understand all that it said!

Ewww...EBJ...I am glad you didn't put the necklace on the penis pump. I think this necklace has been on a dog, cat, parrot and worn during sex. I am putting lysol on it when I get it! I'm just dancing a jig that I am getting it BEFORE it goes to ZONA and that swimming thing they do at her place.

MARY: I wouldn't mind reading the book after you, if you wouldn't mind sending it to me.

I ended up babysitting tonight as my sil had to work late and Tammy had Bunco so I volunteered to stay. They are pretty darn easy to babysit and Kayla was practicing her speech again for tomorrow...they have to perform to four more clases and then parents.

I need to go to be as I was up much too early. MEK, I hope this is a really good friend that gets you up to walk so early. How was the CMA show as I had to record it?

Night...

Tinkatia said...

Good Morning Mek - Congrats on 1st and 25. I couldn't get going this morning.

Good Morning Zona-my-Baby- Did the heat get both of you and Mek up so early?

Good Morning Scirish, Lynn, Bonacci, Mary, East Bay J and Dianne.

Off to read the blog and comments.

Dianne/Denver said...

Top of the Morn' to SCIRISH, MEK, TINK, ZONA, EBJ, CAROL, LYNN, MARY AND BONACCI...you are all on the go today. I wonder if TINA overslept today?

CAROL: I have never watched any of the Housewives reality shows. I am surprised I missed a reality show and now you have peaked my interest.

I have watched two episodes of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here...on the second one I ended up falling asleep. They try to compare themselves to Survivor and it is nothing like it. The other night (before I fell asleep) they had to postpone the challenge because it was raining!!! Now really..raining....Survivor would never do that plus they get better food and cots to sleep on! Terrible show in my opinion.

ZONA: All I can say is that I am glad I have the necklace BEFORE you do. I think TINA gets it after you...lucky TINA!!

CAROL: Well, if you ever need to send a present it looks like your orange case/box can go to JODI OR SCIRISH as they both like it (must be the color).

GOLDIE: Hope your throat is better and I received the necklace yesterday.

Well, I don't have to be anywhere for a couple of hours so think I will lay down just to rest before I have to get going.

Hope you all have a good day and stay cool and dry.

goldie said...

hi Hooters,

Have not watched the NJ housewives- only watch the NY once in awhile.

Dianne- glad you got the necklace.
Sore throat went to feeling worse then 3 hours of head in the toilet and now just total punk. Needless to say, I did not go to work. Still have the sore throat too. CRAP

Have a good day everyone- back to bed for me.

Just_Lin said...

MEK Congrats on FIRST today! Kudos to you for getting up early to walk. I can't even imagine doing that.

Carol I've never watched the show but I thought the promos for the fight in the restaurant looked interesting. Voyeuristic, yes! BTW, I have a french manicure but not with squared tips. I prefer a tapered shape on my fingers.

I vacuumed yesterday and my back is not happy about it. See....housework is bad for my health. LOL

I get to have my hair done this afternoon. No more gray roots and fresh color. Woo hoo!

Just_Lin said...

Goldie I'm sorry you're a punk. ;)

Sandie Where are you?

Tinkatia said...

Having a little trouble typing today. I will see you all tomorrow. Take care. Love, Tink

Zona said...

EBJ: LOL @ Poe egging Nancy on..just like a big brother.. always trying to get ya in trouble.. ;)

MARY: I hope all went well at your meeting/lunch. So...what did you find in the jar? ;)

MEK: 'Housewives of AZ'...hmmm, whattya think? :D

DIANNE: I will try to stay cool..but won't stay dry. I've been doing laps in the pool every day..very refreshing!! I'm up to 16!

TINKA: I actually hadn't been to sleep yet. I finally took a little nap, and I'm ready to move again! :)

GOLDIE: I hope you are resting and feeling better. :)

J/LIN: Just take it easy..back pain is awful..hope it has eased up some. :)

TINKA2: Sorry to hear that your hands are hurting..feel better fast! :)

HI BONACCI!

Jodi said...

CAROL - I know they are a freak show, but for some reason I can't look away!! And Theresa.... her "bubbies", her new house, and her explosion last night was too much. Quite frankly, I'm surprised they let any of it air!! And I read on a blog somewhere that they did not pay cash for all the furniture....it was a staged thing for the show. Some reality!!

EBJ - Not sure if you saw this in Area 51:
EBJ - My smartass answer to your question would've been....well, it ain't a taffy pull!! lol!!


Waving a wing @ EVERYONE!!!

Off to the boys' baseball games. I hope they do as well as they did Monday night....they both WON!!

Remind me to duck as well....

Those women have no idea how arrogant and self absorbed they are and it's a pity they are not grateful for what they do have considering how many people are barely making ends meet.

Zona said...

JODI: Enjoy the games and Good Luck to your sons..hope they win!

I'm grabbing the inhaler and jumping in the pool..well..stepping into the pool, I do want to leave some water in it... :D

Zona said...

KGRRRRLLL: Congrats on 50!! :D

good luck to the WESconsin youngins on their games tonite.

Zona: Ummm I don't think you would drain the pool by jumpin in it but that was pretty funny.


Yey for all the repaired teeth, boo to sore backs, yuck to Goldies chucking, continued hugs to Joey, a partial step forward to Bear and the Huz on benefits, and hello to all the other nesters.

Just_Lin said...

Well, my hair is freshly dyed and cut. I'm feeling spifftacular! LOL

I think I'll let Stouffer's cook most of tonight's dinner. : )

I'm thinking of getting a BlackBerry Curve. I can get a free one with my plan if I sign up for another 2 yr contract. Who has a BlackBerry and what do they like or not like about it?

Maureen said...

ITEACH...condolences on the passing of Dean's uncle. My sympathies to you and your family.

I have never watched this show, so I can't comment on it.

LANI...hello to you!

Dianne/Denver said...

ITEACH: Sending sympathy to you and your husband's family.

J/L: I have a Blackberry Curve and I think Mary just recently got one too. I love it and thought I wouldn't. It took me awhile to learn things on it and I still don't know how to do some of the things. Are you going to get the internet on it? I guess that is what I like the most and I even taught Mary how to find and bookmark the nest on hers...amazing that I could teach someone on this phone. I also like the keyboard for texting. They will give you a CD to watch with the phone and then I went on line to Blackberry and they had a good video to watch on there too. It sounds like the price of free is a pretty good deal too.

The traveling necklace went to school today and was worn by "Ruth Handler" the woman that invented Barbie and Ken dolls. I will post pictures later. I need to think of some exciting things to wear this necklace too.

My husband and I had so many things to do after the school function that he suggested we stop at our favorite Mexican place to eat. You all know that I was so sad because I wanted to come home and whip up a meal....not!!! You don't have to ask me twice!

K-GIRL: You must be getting exhausted with all the 69's you are getting every day. I can see you like the competition.

Dianne/Denver said...

LANI...where are you?

GOLDIE: I hope you are feeling better tonight. If that throat is still sore tomorrow...off to the doctor you must go for a strep test.

Just_Lin said...

Dianne Yes, I will get internet on it, too. I'm not sure what plan to get. I don't do much texting but I want to be able to use it to post a comment on the nest. Is that considered texting or does that fall under the email/data category?

Mary/MI said...

Diane, I will send the book out to you as soon as I read it.

Tinka {{hugs}} to you.

Goldie, I sure hope you don't have a date with your "toirlet" tonight! Get better girl!

Justlin, I have had my BlkBerry Storm for over a month. I has taken some getting used to! I almost threw it in the river a million times! Now that I am not all thumbs I am doing better. The only thing they didn't tell me was that you have to keep it updated through your computer once in a while. I was having trouble with it constantly shutting down. I thought it was the battery. It turned out there was a new update since I bought it. I updated and all is well, well kinda lol! I have to make a call tomorrow on something else. I think they are still trying to get all the kinks out of it.

Zona, I would be lost without my "bare minerals" make up! I needed to cover up the little red spot that the zit left on my nose lol!

Jodi said...

ZONA & TURTLE - Thanks for the well wishes for the boys. Tim got a solid 2 innings of pitching in...only gave up one hit. And he hit a triple and first to score on his team. It was not enough, because his team lost 5-3. Jake's team rallied, but they also lost tonight.

I am exhausted. Two games back to back. But hey...it was a gorgeous warm evening and I even got a little color!!

ITEACH - My sympathies to MR. ITEACH and his family. I know how hard it is to lose someone so suddenly. (((Hugs))) from WESconsin.

I hope everyone has a good night...I'm heading to bed!!

Jodi said...

GOLDIE - Take care of yourself. Luv U!!

iteach said...

Good evening!

I will BBL for some more fun agriculture facts.

East Bay J said...

Hi hooters,

Goldie I hope you feel better soon!

Iteach, sorry to hear that you had a death in your family. I'm thinking of you...

Jodi yes I saw the taffy comment... definitely not taffy!!

Scirishy I meant HORSE pull not HOSE pull! Geez I really should proof read before I post.

Guess hose is a good description, tho :)

Kgirl I think Shirley mentioned a day or 2 ago that you are 4-69's behind me!

Zona yes Poe is a trouble maker, for sure! Sometimes I can't believe how smart he is with what he comes out with.

Well, he is either very smart, or a good guesser! Some of the stuff he says is sooo appropriate for the situation.

Di I'm sure you were disappointed as I would be with not having to cook tonight! bummer

OK I must go get in the shower, I will bbl!

kahonugrl said...

iteach.... my condolences to the Huz and the family~

TINK: I hope you are feeling better tomorrow.

JODI: It sounds like the boys had a good time regardless if they won or not. Sometimes it is nice to have a reason to make yourself stop and just enjoy the nice evening and sit. Night....

JUSTLIN: So Mary has a Storm and I have a Curve. I have had mine for about 1-1/2 years and I haven't had to update it on my computer unless I change my password. Posting on the nest is not texting it is just like sending an email. The biggest thing I don't like on it is remembering to delete emails as they stack up on the computer and the phone since any sent to your computer will go to your phone...which is what I like but I just am not good at deleting.

Mary/MI said...

Diane, I delete as soon as I read the email. I only delete to my phone now because my trigger finger was deleting stuff I hadn't read lol!

Tinka, I feel your pain! It is cool and rainy here. My knee is giving me a hard time today. I will have to shut down early tonight because it hurts to sit too long. I am heading to bed and put me legs up on my big exercise ball. It helps for a while. Also I want to enjoy my last night alone in my big bed. Mr Mary is coming home tomorrow night. Now where did I put that woody lol jk!!
Good night all, one more round on FB and bed for me.

I see you lurkers! Sweet dreams to you too!!

Mary/MI said...

Jodi!! Sorry the boys lost! I am going to miss going to my Grandson's games. So many sweet memories. You have many memories yet to come with them. I am sure they are winners to you muah!!

Just_Lin said...

Dianne and Mary Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad to hear that posting is considered emailing, not texting. That will help me decide which plan is best for me.

Just_Lin said...

iteach My condolences to your family on the passing of Dean's uncle. (((HUGS)))

iteach said...

Thank you very much for all the hugs and prayers. They mean a lot to us.

iteach said...

I cannot go to bed until I give you some ag. facts. So here we go...

Did you take a shower without agriculture?

Not if you used soap, dried off with a towel or shaved using shaving cream.

iteach said...

Did you get dressed without agriculture?

Not if you are wearing shoes, clothes, make-up, perfume or cologne.

iteach said...

Did you drive your car without agriculture?

Not if you applied the brakes in your car, drove on asphalt, or have ethanol in your gas tank.

iteach said...

Did you go to work without agriculture?


Not if you write with a pencil, chew gum, have painted or wall papered wall, sit behind a desk or work on a linoleum floor.

You can't have a day without Agriculture.

night.owls.sb said...

Mek..

You are up way to early, geez, Tug must be the happiest puppy in the world!!!

Congrats on first..

night.owls.sb said...

I got quite a few blogs and spent my night coping and pasting..

I did not read the comments but will try to catch up tomorrow..

I am off to bed.. I am sleepy..

:O)

Nite..

iteach said...

We went to a horse farm today where once again no one mates the natural way.

We saw 85 foals and they all came from surogant mothers.

They took the sperm and eggs from well breed top of the line horses and made embroys. Then they stuffed those embroys into mares that were only good for birthing.

A really well breed mare produces one foal every 11 months. But now due to technology she can produce like seven in a year with the help of surrogants.

whabbear said...

Scrishy: Not yet... and not for several weeks! That was ONE of the ploys I mentioned after I made the initial purchase... to pay extra for a faster delivery, or not, and have to wait four to six weeks for it to arrive.

I kid you not. Four to six weeks. The whole thing was SUCH a scam!

A scummy scam!

Just_Lin said...

Bear Were they twisting your arm? LOL

sacBarb said...

Good evening Owls. I'm just doing a quick fly-by before I fall into bed. I am truly exhausted.

I haven't read the blogs or the comments since I've been here, but I do want to thank everyone for all the prayers, good thoughts and wishes for Chad. I've been getting updates from MEK amd Zona. Chad and I both really appreciate all the love that you have shown. I swear I can feel it from here.

Chad is doing well except for a lot of swelling in his lower extremities. I swear his feet look like Flintstone feet, but the docs are giving him drugs that are designed to eliminate fluid. So far they haven't done too much. I still don't know exactly when he will get out of the hospital.

Tina and Carol, thanks for your comments to Chad. I passed them along to him.

Good night everyone and sweet dreams to you all.

Just_Lin said...

SacBarb It's so good to see you here. I'm so glad that Chad is recovering. They'll probably have that fluid retention taken care of soon. I had that trouble, too, following a surgery. I hope you can get a good rest. You must be so exhausted! (((HUGS))) to you and Chad.

whabbear said...

Barb, been thinking about you, and thanks for the update!

whabbear said...

LOL@J/L! Yes, by the end, they certainly were!

MEK in AZ said...

Good morning...

OH - there is a God - the gal I have been walking with just called to say that SHE can NOT go...

THANK YOU, God!!!!!!!

night.owls.sb said...

Hmm.. why did the new blog not publish..

BRB

night.owls.sb said...

That was so strange.. I had it set for today at 9A.. I double checked and it was correct.. So I had to manually post..


Strange..
