Last week I went to Salvation Army to drop off some clothes. The guy working there was nice and asked how I was. I told him I was fine and asked how he was. He said good but he would be better if he had a gatorade. I kind of chuckled and told him I didnt have any gatorade. He said the corner gas station down the road had them. I was like..

I did not go to Salvation Army to run errands for other people 🤦‍♀️. It was so awkward. I always have awkward encounters when I drop things off there.

I miss the people in the 2nd Tri board (and sometimes 1st Tri) who would post their USs asking if we thought they were having a boy or girl, as if we're the most qualified and know what to look for. Sometimes I need something dumb to laugh at 😆

I am finally caught up and the bachelorette and am so excited for the finale tonight! I know we have some others here who are watching. This is the first time that I can remember that I’ve liked everyone who is left and don’t have a strong opinion on who I want to get the final rose.

dumbledoredies

@bows22 you obviously havent heard the rumors about Jed then 😬. They are just rumors so I take them with a grain of salt. 

I would pick Peter 100%. He is such a doll.

*edited for typo

bows22

@dumbledoredies oh no I haven’t!! At this time last week I didn’t even know about the Luke drama so I am really under a rock (or I just spend all of my “phone time” on the bump haha) 

mvt2003

@emeraldduchess loving the gif this week!  

tyrion_

Off to google the Jed rumor! I don’t like him. I like Peter but I think she goes for Tyler. 

I hate myself for even knowing this stuff 😂 Bring on BIP!

@bows22 @tyrion_ @dumbledoredies Was just going to post about Bachelorette! I think it will be Jed....

****re: Jed's drama -- tried to put the below in a spoiler but sometimes the spoiler button just doesn't work on my computer!****

I think they wouldn't be making such a big deal about his ex drama otherwise. On a podcast I listen to Chris Harrison was pretty defensive of Jed a few days ago and was very like "we have to hear his side." And it's not something Hannah would have known about during filming... They seem to have a lot of chemistry and with the other two she's said at various times, "I'm not sure there's anything here that isn't physical."

Jed definitely isn't my fave though! I LOVE Tyler but think he should break out of the Bachelor universe. Peter seems like he could be a future Bachelor if they want to go the conventional route but really they are overdue for a person of color and Mike seemed like he could be good too!

inthewoods23

@dumbledoredies lol omg so awkward. Maybe he should ask his boss if he can run across the street real quick? Don't be asking customers!

tyrion_

@whitealbum29 I love Mike. I was so sad when she let him go. He’s so nice to look at! 

mvt2003

@dumbledoredies @inthewoods23 I was at Old Navy a few weekends ago and the line was out of control. One of the cashiers was talking to another cashier saying "at least on flip flop day they let us have water" and I was like omg these poor kids! That salvation army guy sounds super awkward though, I definitely would have had the same reaction haha. 

shamrocandroll

Just came to say I always love that GIF.  That corgi is majestic AF.

ruby696

I also love a good corgi GIF @shamrocandroll. I had a corgi growing up and they. are. awesome.

emeraldduchess

I don't watch the Bachelor or Bachelorette, but we have a local radio host who does a recap every week and it's hysterical!  So I have an idea what is going on. Is that Luke P guy for real or is it all an act? Because if he's 100% real, that's terrifying and I fear for the next girl he dates. 

mvt2003

I paid more attention than I normally do to the Bachelorette this season bc my co-worker's cousin was one of the guys! So I felt more invested haha. 

photographerwife

@dumbledoredies That sounds extremely awkward! 

emeraldduchess

@ruby696 I want a corgi in the worst way! And I'd name it either Pippa or Eugenie. 😁

jennifer_louise

Hey @b_1029, is YH still throwing trash into your neighbor's tree??

(apologies if that wasn't you...) 

m6agua

I am team Peter all the way, but I am pretty sure she is going to pick Jed. I am predicting that the Bachelor will either be Tyler or Mike. However, Mike went to paradise so if he found someone there then he wouldn't be the Bachelor. I am excited for BIP though!

bows22

I also think she’s going to pick Jed. I think he’s going to get a big bump in her mind for being the last one to “warn” her about Luke. I think Mike would be great for the Bachelor. 

Luke won’t be on BIP right??

whitealbum29

@m6agua @bows22 - Oh I didn't know Mike went to BIP! He's adorable, when he smiles it's like his entire being is smiling.

If Luke P is on BIP I swear I will....well who am I kidding, I'll watch it to see what a train wreck it is. But he is so awful I don't think they should help him date anyone else!

mvt2003

Today is so Monday it hurts. That is all.  

b_1029

@jennifer_louise HAHAHA yes that was me. I’m so glad you remembered. I haven’t seen any rogue grapes for a while but I can’t say for sure if he still does it 😂

shamrocandroll

@mvt2003 SO. MUCH. THIS.  I feel like I literally blinked and it was Monday.  So far I've been flipped off, lost my necklace pendant, and most recently also lost my work badge.  I'm convinced Mercury is just trying to make a big dramatic exit out of retrograde.  Can we just... delete that planet?    

mvt2003

@shamrocandroll YES PLEASE!!!!!!! Realistically you've had a harder day than I have, but it's just constant little things over here. Like this morning I was trying to put an immediate call on the calendar and accidentally scheduled it for Thursday instead of today. And discovered minutes before another meeting that the call-in line I had planned on was not going to work. And yeah. Just the same crap over and over again. 

whitealbum29

@mvt2003 - one of the Mondayest Mondays in recent memory

jennifer_louise

@b_1029 for some reason that occurred to me this weekend when I was eating supper outside and thinking how annoying it was going to be to walk ALL THE WAY INSIDE to dispose of my food waste 😂.
Welp, keep me updated! 

shamrocandroll

Funny story of the day:  I just walked over to the director of engineering's desk, and he was on his phone texting, and I told him I needed to ask him a work related question (he had come over to my desk to ask a boating related question earlier, and I got confused thinking he was talking about a test we're running in the lab).  He laughed and said "hang on, I'm texting my ex-wife." and I said "Hm, maybe I should come back when you're in a better mood, then." and he said "Nah, go ahead."  So I said "I need $500" and he goes "THAT'S THE SAME THING MY EX-WIFE JUST SAID!  Except she only wanted $300!"

Gorcery Store Adventures with DH: we were walking down the cereal aisle when I said, "Hey, how about I make Buffalo chicken nuggets for dinner?" DH then says way too loudly, "OMG I love you so f-ing much!" Who says romance is dead? I 🤣

tyrion_

Hello. My name is Tyrion. And I am a monster. 

I started watching Part 1 of the Bachelorette finale and just saw the clip where Hannah falls. Why am I laughing so hard?! 

I’m going to hell. 

Edit: spelling 

ottergirl81

@emeraldduchess my dog is half corgi and she is the best!

***edited because I forgot how to add the spoiler***

shamrocandroll

@ottergirl81 D'awwww.  We are overdue for a furbaby thread...

emeraldduchess

@tyrion_ I'd blame the producers and editors for putting that clip out there in the first place. 

Kathryn0903

@tyrion_ I'm a terrible person because I laugh at other people's falls too!

dumbledoredies

@mvt2003 @inthewoods23 I'm so awkward in situations that I'm not prepared for so when he asked me I just awkwardly laughed and then darted for my car. I'm still cringing thinking of it.

@tyrion_ I will join you in hell because one of my favorite things to do is watch people fall. Only if they dont get hurt!! I laugh at myself when I fall. So that makes it better, right?

whitealbum29

Bachelorette thoughts anyone? (spoilers)

I love that Tyler came back. Jed is such a little tool! He was like a little kid who needed it explained to him that yes, it seems like you're dating when you go on vacation together and introduce a girl to your parents. His whole vibe to me was like "I just assumed I would get away with this and I'm stunned that I'm getting called out on it." Hannah handled it so well and I hope younger women watching take something away from it! 

kpearse99

@ottergirl81 I had a corgi!!!!  He was the BEST!  He passed away a year ago suddenly and I've been heart broken ever since!

Here's my sweet Pongo!!  I miss him!!

ruby696

Love him @kpearse99! I adored our Corgi growing up. I wish I had a picture on my phone. 

kpearse99

@ruby696 they really are such great dogs, right?!?!

ruby696

Yes @kpearse99! Ours was named Bonnie and she was so sweet. And they're incredibly protective and loyal. And adorable! I've already told MH that our next dog will be a Corgi. ❤
