    Official 2020 Divorce Poll

    I am sure this one will be plenty messy once all of the dirt shakes free but I am not reading anything in to the "marital misconduct" just yet. The cause for divorce is defined by law and that may have been the most appropriate option available in whatever jurisdiction they filed. As an example, Renee Zellweger's grounds for divorce from Kenny Chesney was fraud. We're still no closer to knowing exactly what that means all these years later (nor do we really need to) but I'd bet it's probably not nearly as scandalous as the word implies.

    Snark is always welcome - no apologies necessary. Wishing peace and grace to you and your family, Wordsworth.

    I know it's supposed to be pronounced "ARCH-well" but my brain keeps registering it as "Ar-CHEW-ell". Blech.

    This is definitely the annual April Fool's BV. That said, a sibling for Archie would not surprise me.

    "Like" of support, fykeylicious. I hate the fact that you're sick again. I also sympathize with how much of an adjustment the current reality is for everyone - especially those with school age kids.

    I hope you feel better soon, fykey. Please check in as you are able to let us know you're OK.

    Is it wrong to hope that Charles breaks sequester long enough to sneeze all over his brother Andrew? Asking for a friend....

    I hear ya, fykey. Spring pollen season has been a real mind f*ck for me this year. Your masked smiley face is a nice touch.

    Coronavirus

    If there is any positive to this pandemic, it just may be the ways that technology enables us as a society to rethink and retool the ways of the past. Employers seeing that teleworking and flexible work schedules really do work when you've got the right people and tools in place. Hard questions hopefully being asked about outrageous higher education costs for degrees that can in many cases be earned entirely from behind a keyboard. Expanded access to the Internet in rural areas. The possibilities are endless. Like many of you, I've been struggling to deal with elderly parents who continue to go about their daily lives as if nothing has changed. I am no Pollyanna by any means but the desperate clinging to any ray of sunshine is about the only thing keeping me sane right now.

    Harvey Weinstein

    25 years is arguably too short a sentence for his crimes. That said, I am thankful that he got anything at all given the very real possibility of a mistrial if the leaks of the questions the jury were asking are to be believed. I'm not holding my breath that the L.A. County charges will tack too much more on to his overall sentence if he's also convicted there. I can't imagine that there's too much incentive for any additional sentence to run concurrently, but the disconnect between time sentenced and time served in that jurisdiction is pretty great. Still, a good day.

    And yet The Firm still hasn't publicly said boo about Randy Andy.....

    On the other hand, this baby is most likely going to be raised by a troop of nannies which will eliminate a lot of parental stress for Cam and Benji. They waited a long time before starting a family, so the fact that they didn't rush in to this actually gives me relative faith in their odds of going the distance. For now, anyways.

    Excellent choices, fykey!

    He may survive the reported salary loss but I suspect being a social pariah is a much more damning punishment in those circles. Neither punishment is enough in this instance.

    We've got CBS All Access - primarily for sports purposes, though Maxiedad has also been enjoying the Star Trek offerings quite a bit. It's a fantastic way of avoiding the $300 for NFL Sunday Ticket if your rooting interests are for a non local AFC team and you're strategic in what you use for GPS coordinates when you set it up. Or so I've heard. ;)

    Now THIS is a Meghan related distraction from the Prince Andrew allegations that we can all get behind!!!!!! (I'm not implying at all that anybody here is defending Andrew. It's just nice to finally have a Meghan story without any ugly undertones.)

    I also think that Meghan is pregnant again.

    Given that it's held in trust, we will probably never know much more than what's currently been reported.

    A quick Google search will tell what climate zones are suitable for growing an avocado tree if there was any doubt. Meghan certainly strikes me as intelligent enough to handle this. The optimist in me says the press will run out of straws to grasp at some point where Meghan is concerned. The pessimist in me remembers all of the rumors surrounding Diana's demise and hopes things don't end similarly.

    And while we're venting, I'm pretty annoyed by the whole "news as a slideshow" bit. Just give me the GD list and be done with it because I generally stop caring before I hit "4 out of X". I really miss the days when life was not defined by clicks and likes and influencers did not exist. *shakes clenched fist to the sky while screaming "Get off my lawn!!!" ETA: Not blaming you as the messenger, Princess, but this is clearly as issue that grinds my gears.

    Hoya.....I am seeing now that my "You're welcome" comes off as kind of smug/witchy, which was never my intent. I was totally coming from a place of "things you'll never be able to unsee once it's out there" when I wrote that so I do apologize if it was interpreted in any other fashion. And yes, I personally thank my lucky stars every day that I did not come of age in the era of social media. Yikes indeed!!!

    I sure hope not. If you say it quickly, it comes out as "Genital Fisher". You're welcome.

    Things that make you say "Hummm....."

    I wonder if the kids can be indicted if they were underage at the time of their participation - and I honestly don't know or care to Google whether they were or not. That's about the only way I can see them avoiding any legal consequences. The older daughter is laying low so I will begrudgingly give her credit for that. I suspect that the only reason Lori and Mossimo entered a plea now is because they finally realized that the folks who initially pleaded out got reduced sentences and those that didn't would get the full wrath of the law. Their motives are far from pure here. They whole lot of them deserve everything that the courts of law and public opinion are throwing their way.
