    Thread title ideas?

    Joda, the 40 year old _____. My fillin got the blank would be cunt/tnuc, but that’s probably not allowed 😉. I think we should memorialized her being 40 though.

    Hello all, hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas (if you celebrate it) or otherwise wonderful holiday season!

    I spent my early Christmas Day in the ER & hospital. Long story short, I’m mostly fine. I have pancreatitis as well as a couple of other issues and need more tests. Lovely end to 2021.

    RainbowsandSunshine, I like your idea about commemorating G-Sleazy’s arrival to her 40s.

    How about:

    CheapCraftyGirl Part 39: Meet Joda, The 40-year Old Middle-Aged Ho With Her Garbage Bag Chic and a Camel Toe

    Her head & hair look like a puffed-up, microwaved marshmallow. You're not fooling anyone with that filter, Gene. :rolleyes:

    she looks like she usually does in her bedroom mirror.

    What’s wrong with her head?

    Interesting about Jr potentially crashing her car. The only accident I recall Giada telling us about was when Jr was in high school and went behind her back to pick up grandparents from the airport. There was a fender bender during that trip.

    When Giada was talking about all the work Jr’s car needed (window replaced, tire replaced and some other stuff) I thought to myself that it sounds like Jr drives really rough.

    I had to share this outfit with you all. Giada thought it was exceptional and loved the plaid, so she was sharing it for Plaid Day #5. You may be wondering where the plaid is. It’s on her teeny, tiny head with the hat. Oh brother! I think she looks like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man’s evil step-sister.

    Athletic Calves & seasonsinthesun, you've inpsired me! We're going to need a new thread title soon. I think we should include "garbage bag chic" and "the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man's Evil Twin Step-Sister" in the next title...it'll be Part 39 (who'd have guessed Joda would still be peddling her unique brand of grift this long?).

    Why are her houseguests such a big secret?

    Houseguests are most likely her mom & step-dad. She has spent years pretending like she & her mom are estranged so suddenly having her as a houseguest would require explanations.

    Also who is Peeta?

    Peeta Mellark (aka Josh Hutcherson) a character from the Hunger Games books/movie series who Giada has professed to be obsessed with since the early days of her channels.

    Jumping in to say my pathology is negative from biopsy yesterday!!! Thought you would like good news 💝 😁🎄🥤

    I am so happy for you, Flowercat! What relief you must be feeling! I’d send you a bottle of champagne if I could but sending virtual best wishes instead. Champagne 🍾 🥂🎉

    So…something interesting on Junior’s TikTok. She says she totaled her car in February of 2021. Does anyone remember hearing Joda say anything about this? I don’t recall her ever mentioning it. Wouldn’t this require purchasing another vehicle for Miss Priss?

    PS…I conveyed everyone’s kind wishes to my mother and she said thank you & sends back wishes for a happy holiday season to all of you!

    Get ready for a major incident. She is dealing with cognitive dissonance right now. She can’t see that what she eats now is just a frankenfood version of what she used to eat. She’s convinced herself that the processed keto snacks are healthy. At some point she is going to fail because her Hashimotos will start working against her. It will become a powder keg.

    The fact that she went to a “nutritionist” who may or may not have disordered eating too, is very telling. She is going down a potentially dangerous path. Especially if she stops treating her autoimmune with the correct medication.

    Agreed. My ex-MIL had encephalitis from untreated Hashimoto's. Stacy is being completely foolish & stubborn. Of course she obviously knows better than any MD or FM Dr. :rolleyes:

    I have been extremely busy caring for my ill mother and therefore have not been around much. Thank you to Athletic Calves, Elderberry and any others who sent kind thoughts and wishes. She’s hanging in there.

    Heather Riley, in the spirit of the season I’m going to chalk up your defending Giada and being ugly to Grammylikescake! to the stress, grief, and loss you have experienced in the past couple of years.

    Number one, you have frequently championed both Giada and Junior on this site (which I might remind you is a gossip site). You are free to have your opinions but vitriol & attacking the views of other Bakers is against the TOS here.

    You act (and have acted in the past) as though you have a personal interest in defending Giada since you first originally arrived here as KarmaKat. The level of anger you are displaying toward Grammy is over the top & uncalled for. If you have a problem with what other people post here either take it up with the person themselves through DM or take it to a mod. Otherwise you may want to take a break from reading or posting if it is causing you to have such a visceral reaction…not a demand, just a suggestion.

    And I really hate the Martha Stewart tree/ornaments. Nothing says Merry Christmas like mushroom ornaments

    Years ago, when Martha Stewart partnered with K-Mart/Sears, yes, K-Mart, she had the nicest Christmas collections. I still have some beautiful ornaments and decorations. I never really liked her Christmas stuff once she moved to Macy's.

    I remember that jsym, and I still have some of the things I bought then too. I have always been super into vintage (or reproduction vintage) holiday decor and many of those pre-Macy's Martha Stewart ornaments & decor were styled after real vintage ornaments. Some even had heavy metal tops & resembled old German kugels.

    In a little defense of the mushroom as Christmas decor, in Germany and Eastern Europe the mushroom has been used since at least the late 1800s, first as cotton batting ornaments and then blown glass ornaments. My mother has several really old ones of both types since she started collecting vintage & antique German ornaments back in the late 50s after she & my father got engaged.

    Of course Jen probably bought her Martha Stewart items because she felt that there was some cachet in having things with the MS name attached. :rolleyes:

    I have lost multiple friends & family members to Covid, my husband lost his best friend in August of 2020 & most recently lost an aunt & uncle (husband & wife) who died within 48 hours of each other. Their son is still in a rehab facility because of the effects of Covid on his lungs & kidneys. His brother currently has it & is not doing well. My husband had almost convinced him to get vaccinated but my mother-in-law talked him out of it. My husband is livid right now because of it.

    I know people with long Covid who are still suffering the after effects. My own daughter had a breakthrough case while in Africa this summer & still has issues with taste & smell. It is still slowly returning. Who knows how bad it might have been if she hadn't been vaccinated?

    MysteryGal, I am so very sorry about your daughter & hope she gets better with time.

    This is hands-down the most hysterical read I've had in a while. This man can write! Such an awful evening and he manages to make such a gem of a story out of it. Read it and weep, Jen.

    Edited to add: "She carries an inflatable air mattress because she says she likes comfort. Wtf? You are complaining about the weight of your backpack and you don’t sleep at night. Such irony with this doofus."

    How Did I miss this? Did she really carry around an inflatable mattress? What Type? :hearty-laugh:

    It’s a sleeping pad, and I think the name of it is in the last spend tally on that thread in extras & rewatch. It’s common for backpackers to carry one, but she flat out said hers is a heavier one because she prioritizes comfort.
    (But then complains about the extra weight)

    Yup, a Big Agnes for Big Bertha Gene. Although my daughter bought one to take overseas this summer. they're apparently really sturdy.

    Totally ready for the "Jen Scolding Us All" phase to begin. :P

    Every time Jen posts one of these crazy-eyed half-face selfies, I think of this:

    I check here every so often to see if anyone has figured out how she has all of that money. No luck so far I see.

    I think she is up to her eyeballs in credit card debt.

    I have suspected this also. Back when she used to show paying bills in her planners in her early days of YouTube she would show how much she was paying on her credit cards and it seemed like she was only paying the minimums due.

    There’s been credit card fraud and shoplifting among other things in her family’s sordid past. I believe the Baker named Joelle CheapCraftyBoy uncovered some of that years ago.

    Not that we should be judged by our family’s misdeeds but Giada has plenty of her own misdeeds and you can be sure that there’s plenty of things she’s done & may still be doing that are not on the up & up.

    How could she not noticed Loki wasn't gaining weight? U see him everyday, just makes no sense to me.

    Agreed, plus a content dog is not going to bark constantly and be anxious & testy. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised though since Joda has her head so far up her own arse that she can see her kidneys. I can’t imagine being so self-absorbed & clueless that my poor puppy is starving and I need the vet to tell me so like Sleazy-G.

    Grammy, I’m also wishing you safe & happy travels. It’s smart to break up the trip so you don’t feel rushed. Glad to hear your niece is doing so well!

    My mom (who is 82) got her test results back yesterday and unfortunately is going to have to have surgery again. She had surgery in October 2019 for a bowel obstruction and she somehow has developed a large hernia that’s pressing on her kidneys. She has always been extremely healthy but in the last few years has had some deterioration of health. This upcoming surgery will be her third since 2016. Anyway, if anyone wants to send her prayers or good vibes it’s definitely greatly appreciated!

    I had hepatitis when I turned 21. I couldn’t even have alcohol for another year due to my liver problems. So glamorous, lol. I can’t decide if I’m annoyed at the over the top spending on Jr and Bug because it truly is gross consumerism, unnecessary, and sets up expectations OR if I’m a bit envious no one has ever gone to such elaborate lengths for me.

    :being-confused-smiley-emoticon:

    Regarding Joda and her Amazon links, this video was in my recommendations. Apparently the person lives in Chattanooga or I might be suspicious it was Giada.

    That stinks, AC, I'm so sorry you went through that. :(

    Ha! I would wonder if it was Joda too, re: the multiple Amazon deliveries. Love how's she trying to drum up business to get her few cents from Amazon. Wonder what's got her in the doldrums lately? Affiliate links not being used as much? So hard to say with her.

    Why not use all that money that "Nate" says you're making and spend the winter in FL? Lots of DTs down there and I'm sure you could rent a nice Air BnB. ;)

    A "sea of comments (a lot of which don't make the cut)" is really revealing. Just shows that most people watching her vids during the last few months think she's lost her damned mind. :rolleyes:
