Lonely Fewd Loving Hag, Ghoulish Face Full of Sag, Best Friend is a Polyester Rodent, Is It Any Wonder Steve's Impotent? Pt. 40 - A Peek Inside.Why is there baby spit up all over those bars? I love that for her! Steve told her she needs big heavy duty pizza cutter to cut that block of chocolate chip rocks. She thinks she's getting one in her stocking. Sure you are.
She burned the white chocolate and that’s why it wasn’t white. It had nothing to do with the fact that she used a bar instead of chips. You dont melt chocolate directly in a pan over a hot burner ESPECIALLY white chocolate which is prone to burning.
Her bars are going to be so dense the way she man handles the dough into the pan. Some people have good instincts in the kitchen and some don’t. Darlene for sure doesn’t and there’s nothing wrong with that but she pretends like she’s a pro. She has zero instincts and zero patience so she really should just stick to packages and store bought items. -
.Well now a days i see authors posting they dont want people to be reviewing one starts or even bookstagramers to tag them when there is a bad review. Which is annoying because how would they know to improve the plot. Good reads i use for the tags and keep track of the books i read thats all.
I stopped using good reads and now use Bookmory to track my reading. But I completely agree. All that reviews are is feedback. I can see where it may be difficult to have someone not like something you’ve poured your heart and soul into but A. That’s how you know to improve and B. Not all books are for everyone. No matter how technically perfect a book is written or how thought out the plot some people will hate it and some people will love it. -
Lonely Fewd Loving Hag, Ghoulish Face Full of Sag, Best Friend is a Polyester Rodent, Is It Any Wonder Steve's Impotent? Pt. 40 - A Peek Inside.Great comments and recaps everyone!
Well spotted on the possible black eye on her right side, Socal. If you look carefully in Socal's pic, you can see Darlene's left eye area is faintly reddened too.
Just checked and apart from the brief clip of her waddling around the kitchen bombsite in yesterday's video, she hasn't reappeared since. The messy kitchen scene is sped up but at normal speed, her face is partly hidden and very badly lit - perhaps deliberately? It does look as though she has a black eye as there's certainly a heavy darkness around both, but this could equally be the poor lighting.
She's angled the camera so she's headless in the gift wrapping clip too . . .
Can't imagine Stupid thumping her but he might've caught her if she started a fracas and lashed out and he was defending himself.
And can't imagine Andrew getting physical at all when Darlene is spiteful to him. He seems a gentle soul who'd be much more likely to get very upset and put his hands up to his face or just run away. Besides, Darlene would have long since made it known if Andrew were violent - the pity partying would be too much to resist. She's also bigger and taller than him and it's not as though she couldn't handle herself.
It's possible someone else might thump Dar though. She's hardly Miss Popular, lol!
Agree too, it's also likely she could've banged her face on a cupboard door or such, when she was drinking.
If she does have a black eye, it's odd she didn't come up with a story about it. She might prefer not to go there at all imagining she could hide it, while not realizing it would worsen after Socal's pic and take at least another couple of days to fade enough to be hidden by makeup again. So we'll see how long it takes for her appear again.
Good point, Kayla, about Stupid's office party. Let's see if she comes up with some lie about it - would she wear those cranberry pants and a black top to the party? That would be quite the climbdown from 2022's knock 'em dead number!
Wouldn't be surprised if last year's stories were a charade either, including the hilarious party outfit. We didn't see a single pic of the do. Nothing, not even Dar all dolled up (lol) posing with Myhusband as they were about to head out for the evening.
And thought the same about that checked jacket. I'd pay good money to see Dar bedecked in that
. . It reminds me of that bright orange jacket she bought a few years ago and we've never seen again. Sheesh, she is clueless.
LOL, Chortle! I also laughed out loud at her being "grateful for help as I'm getting older"!! I thought she was 49, not 79! Her mom didn't need any assistance until she was eighty and Dar still hated doing the tiniest thing for her, but somehow it's fine Dar already expects help?! The preceding line was just as funny, about always wanting to do everything, as though Darlene has always been hardworking and diligent to a fault!
Good point too, Chortle about the cranberry bliss bars. She finally admitted their HER favorite, so of course she's making them! That oft repeated story about Stupid's colleagues looking forward to them, is utter baloney. It's Darlene who wants them - even though she messes them up every time. As if strangers look forward to anything out of Darlene's kitchen . . .
You mentioned never hearing about any joint or back issues and whether she'd have breast reduction surgery.
Years ago, back before she started hiding more, she used to complain about knee problems. Another time, she mentioned she'd asked her doc about breast reduction but they'd said she should lose weight first.
She looks like she'd still be busty if she were a normal weight, but this might well be still in line with her frame. Darlene is a very big woman and not necessarily someone who's afflicted with an out of proportion bust size. Trust her to want breast surgery rather than actually lose the weight though. If such a procedure were feasible, Darlene would have all her flab regularly removed just so she could carry on stuffing her face.
As for her recent use of 'interesting', seems this is now a euphemism for being well pissed off.
Sarah decorates her tree a la grandma - "it's interesting".
Dar accompanies her mom to a long appointment - "it's interesting".
Pat repeats the same question - "it's interesting".
A day without the Internet "is interesting".
Dar opens her Advent calendar and finds a coconut flavored coffee (having failed to make the connexion with the coconut on the flap, lol) and "it's interesting".
She then whines about the coconut coffee not being very Christmassy right after she's said "it's interesting". How interesting can a simple coffee pod be, let alone one she clearly doesn't want . . .
As for Dar being "very private about my religion", oh please! Which religion is that - Devil worship? . . .
Does anyone else remember that time she implied Andrew was the reason she doesn't attend church? How exactly is he stopping her!
If it were important to her, she could go whenever she likes and if Andrew's home, leave him with Stupid or a support worker. Besides, there may be services that are set up to help SN folks fit in.
Andrew doesn't like having to sit in a car for hours on end, then be forced to trail round Costco but that's never stopped her! Yet somehow gradually introducing him to church is a no-go.
Darlene's behavior towards others proves she's not even vaguely religious - other than when it suits her purpose, like pretending she was meant to buy some stuffed toy because it's been possessed by her dad!
She's probably hinting about "my religion" because she thinks it sounds good at Christmas. As the proverb goes, the Devil can cite scripture for his purpose.
Darlene has claimed before that Andrew was violent. I have long suspected that this will be the reason she gives for a permanent placement. The sweetest most gentle souls can still snap when pushed. I believe Andrew likely has the capability to get frustrated when cornered by Darlene and lash out physically because he has no ability to communicate or escape on his own. I DO NOT THINK andrew would harm a fly unprovoked but do I think he would shove her maybe leaving a mark because she has invaded his space and shrieked at him excessively, absolutely.
Hiding a personal antidote about this situation behind the spoilerSPOILER (click to view)I’ve mentioned this story before but my step mom is a sort of foster care provider for physically and mentally disabled adults. They live in her home with her. We had a man very much like Andrew in terms of developmental age/ physical size but he also had some physical disabilities. He was a very sweet, loving soul who at 30 had never had one single documented violent outburst. After several years of constant belittling, control and mental abuse by my step mother she made the mistake of cornering him in the hallway while screaming in his face. He finally had enough and in an effort to get away from her hit her with his walker and shoved her into the wall. She twisted it left out the fact that she provoked him and had him labeled as violent. He is now confined to a 24/7 lock down mental institution because he has a violent event in his file he’s no longer able to have any interaction with the public or leave the unit. Every time Darlene opens her mouth she reminds me of my step mother trying to make the public think she’s some wonderful person. -
Lemon's a sloth trying to fake she's a teacher. Her classes are sleeping & gaming, she's a horrible creature. 50 runs circles around her, nobody can reach her Pt. 56 - 50 Shades of Mom, LemonadeMom, & Nicole Burgess.I don’t have cats but they have four so I would think they would go through a lot of litter. What do I know
We have 3 and go through approximately 40 lbs a month. 4 boxes. They get scooped twice a day and fully emptied and cleaned the first trash day of every month -
Lemon's a sloth trying to fake she's a teacher. Her classes are sleeping & gaming, she's a horrible creature. 50 runs circles around her, nobody can reach her Pt. 56 - 50 Shades of Mom, LemonadeMom, & Nicole Burgess.Lemon decided to give her family diabetes for Christmas.
She has been posting lots of sugar overload Christmas SWEET TREATS .
My question is. Why doesn’t she just PRINT the recipe out???? Why does she sit and write the entire thing out on a pad of paper? It took me 2 seconds to find the recipe she is copying.
She wrote it out so it’s her recipe right?!?! No need to give credit to the original creator. I guess the team of lawyers haven’t warned her that she could be sued for plagiarism for blatantly coping recipes and passing them off as her own. -
Lonely Fewd Loving Hag, Ghoulish Face Full of Sag, Best Friend is a Polyester Rodent, Is It Any Wonder Steve's Impotent? Pt. 40 - A Peek Inside.How can she call putting her Christmas tree up in November, "taking things slowly"?
Count how many times she says she "loves" the couch and is very happy with it. Keep repeating that Darlene, maybe you will finally convince yourself. There is no way that couch is comfortable for someone so morbidly obese. And febreezing the couch, yuck! I also do not believe that control freak Darlene let Steve choose the couch. She won't let him choose a snack!
I am not buying the story about the quick military move. She has said before she chose not to move with Steve. When she started her channel Steve was living in another city. She has always stayed in the same town. I bet this house was another impulsive purchase for Darlene. Only this time she couldn't just return it to Costco. She also implies that they downsized and this house was smaller than their last, in other videos she has said her old house was smaller.
Whilst I was looking at the couch situation, I heard her say they had been in their first house 9 years, then the next one a year and now this one... thats hardly quick or frequent moves. Here it is at 1:57
This whole story had me rolling my eyes. She has no idea what it’s like to be a military spouse. My husband was in for 10 years (a drop in the bucket for some) but in that time we lived in 5 different states did a move less than 2 weeks postpartum, 3 moves over a thousand miles and 2 with less than 30 days notice (1 we knew we were moving but not where and 1 where we got last minute emergency need orders to report in less than 2 weeks). -
Lonely Fewd Loving Hag, Ghoulish Face Full of Sag, Best Friend is a Polyester Rodent, Is It Any Wonder Steve's Impotent? Pt. 40 - A Peek Inside.I had my hips replaced a few years ago. Everything went well but coming off the morphine made me so nauseous. I had a box of hot tamales (cinnamon candy) on the second surgery that helped a lot because I read that cinnamon was good for nausea. I think that drug was worse than the surgery itself for me. Be patient with your recovery. Come here for laughs...laughter is great medicine too!
I’d love to hear about your experience with hip replacement. I just had preservation surgery about 6 weeks ago but my surgeon told me it was only a temporary fix and I’ll probably need a new hip before I turn 40 due to the extent of existing damage. He already had to place a few anchors to keep my existing hip together.
As for Christmas decor I put ours up this past week. Some of our decor was in my house when I was little so it’s 30ish years old. Our tree will go up and get decorated on thanksgiving as per tradition. We decorate the tree every single year while the parade is on. It’s always a fun time since all of our ornaments are collected from different trips we’ve been on or shows we’ve gone to. -
.Also, I am so completely burned out with work that it's preventing me from concentrating and I can't get into any new books recently. I bought Ink Blood Sister Scribe by Emma Torzs and A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon recently and I didn't even get past the first couple of chapters of either. Even the new RaeAnne Thayne couldn't keep my attention and I love me some shitty holiday romances. I keep seeing people talk about the Fourth Wing series because the second book just came out- is that any good?
I just finished Fourth Wing and I loved it from beginning to end. Fantasy is not my favorite genre. I don't love a lot of world-building and background info, but Fourth Wing did it really well. It was a 5 star book for me very early in. The characters are likable and the dragons just make the story, they are cute and vicious and snarky, very human-like and they add so much to the story. The romance had a lot of angsty enemies to lovers and great chemistry without feeling forced. When I finished the book today, I jumped online immediately to order Iron Flame.
I read the first 3 A Court of Thorns and Roses books, loved the first 2, the 3rd was very hard to get through, and I have no motivation to read the rest. But Fourth Wing was 100 times better IMO.
You’re going to be so disappointed. Iron flame IS NOT GOOD. It was clearly rushed through publishing in order to ride the hype wave rather than pushing the date back another 6 months so another pass could be taken with editing. I read fourth wing a few months ago and also gave it 5 ⭐️. Went to the midnight release of iron flame I wanted to love it so much but the writing is just bad. -
Lonely Fewd Loving Hag, Ghoulish Face Full of Sag, Best Friend is a Polyester Rodent, Is It Any Wonder Steve's Impotent? Pt. 40 - A Peek Inside.Thanks Pond Scum & Socalgal I'm so ready to get it over with so I can enjoy December. I joked with my husband I'll finally sleep through the night for once. He snores and I mean he SNORES. There was one night a few years ago I said to myself not a single woman on your jury would convict you. I love my husband very much, but I have wanted to smother him with a pillow once or twice with his snoring lol.
Hope your surgery goes well but LOLing about the snoring. My husband snores too. Something awful as does our dog. He finally went for a sleep study a few years ago and turns out he has a hereditary form of obstructive sleep apnea where the muscles in his throat collapse on themselves when he’s relaxed. He has a cpap now and snores much less. -
50 Shades of RHODT Rebrand pt 55: Life Buy Vanessa New Name Still No Shame, Fiddy Gave Up On Fame & Is In The Pizzeria Making It Rain, Next.Level.Nicole Is All About Tha Gains - 50 Shades of Mom, LemonadeMom, & Nicole Burgess.Rose possibly is on some sort of spectrum, children on the spectrum usually are attached to one thing and get fixated by them. My nephew is on the spectrum all he cares about are trains.
True. My son is on the spectrum and can hyperfixate on things for extended period of time. based on what lemon chooses to show of rose I would bet she would meet the diagnostic criteria for ASD.
HOWEVER as a parent of a special needs child it’s our job to nurture fixations in healthier/less obsessive and more age appropriate ways. I.E. a 2 year old may have trains as a special interest with a real interest in Thomas being age/socially appropriate. However it wouldn’t be age/socially appropriate at 11 to be buying Thomas themed board books and watching nothing but Thomas cartoons. but you can encourage the child in ways that still support their special interest by taking them to train museums, helping them learn the history of how trains aided the Industrial Revolution or learn about how they are engineered.
It is also the responsibility of the parent to get the child emotional and academic help if needed. Just based on the things lemon has shared rose could use OT to help open things and speech therapy at the very least and could likely use some help with her self confidence.
On another note I hope some bakers remember that at the end of the day rose, Bryce and pearl are CHILDREN and comments about their appearance and intelligence level are unnecessary. Maybe we could stick instead to bashing lemon and the way she parents. I’ve seen a handful of comments discussing how unfortunate rose in particular looks. -
Lonely Fewd Loving Hag, Ghoulish Face Full of Sag, Best Friend is a Polyester Rodent, Is It Any Wonder Steve's Impotent? Pt. 40 - A Peek Inside.Darlene's Summer come hither look. Don't forget about that one.
When was this from? Sure she may not have been a beauty queen but damn did she look comparatively healthier and happier as well as better groomed then. She even wore something that showed her nasty armpits. Does anyone else remember dainty dar being offended by other women’s armpits or is that just me? -

.I also feel like her fifty shades books were pretty decent. (i read it as i was a teen i might have to go back and actually see now as an adult if it was actually good) Her books now it felt the first one was written on wattpad, i cant tell about the spelling as i not well equipped my self with grammar. What i mean by feeling of wattpad is very immature writing, not sure how to describe it but those who have read on wattpad will understand.
I enjoyed fifty shades when it first came out. I think partial because it was the first mainstream smutty book that also featured more “taboo” kink. I tried to re read it last year and thought it was trash. The writing just wasn’t stellar and I’ve since read some really great more authentic BDSM heavy books. The mastered series by Lorelei James is great if you’re looking for a rec. I also enjoyed the crossfire books by Sylvia day which is similar to 50 shades but better written. -
.There are still 5 days left in October but I thought I’d share my current stats
18 books read
8 audio books
7 physical books (4 purchased new 3 from the Library)
3 ebooks (2 from KU 1 from libraries Libby)
Lowest rated- the missus-EL James- 2⭐️(library Libby)
Something wicked this way comes- ray Bradbury 2.5⭐️(purchase)
Highest rated- the last house on needless street- catriona ward 5⭐️ (KU)
Current read- haunting Adeline (KU)
Current audio- nothing to see here (already on solid track to be 5⭐️ and likely top 5 book of the year)
So currently i have the missus as well but i have not gotten to them why two stars obviously without spoilers. I had a feeling it was not going to live up to its potential not sure why but it was a feeling.
I really didn’t enjoy it. Honestly a 2⭐️ is basically the lowest I rate a book because if it’s worse than that I’ll DNF it. The spice level was maybe a 1 out of 10. Both infrequent and vanilla AF. The plot was very dragged out. A lot of hemming and hawing over these hints at a plot twist or “thrilling” element to drive the plot forward that never even happened. There was nothing ever really hashed out and resolved between characters. They would sort of argue but mostly it was just their inner dialogue getting mad at the other while outwardly pretending everything was fine. Overall really felt like she just through the book together with a weeks notice to push something out rather than spending any thought developing the relationship between them.
-also likely effecting my rating was the fact that I had just finished reading den of vipers which I don’t recommend and wasn’t well written but damn did I love it 10/10 for the spice 🥵🥵🥵 -
