Hey y'all need info.  i used to watch Desperate Housewives and just got tired of it a couple years ago.  Well, this past Sunday there was NOTHING else on so I channel surfed over to abc, and imagine my surprise when D.H. had gone ahead into the future!!!  I felt like it was the dream season of Dallas again, and if that doesn't date me a bit i don't know what does.  anyhow, can someone explain to me what is going on?  Why are all the kids like 6 years older now?  Was it a ghost of Christmas future thing or something?  Oh, and sorry bout the typing.  Lousy laptop keyboard is giving me fits.

TIA.

Don't know why I watch this trash - perhaps to see what I'm missing since devoting myself to the "helping profession." That's a joke. I heard the big K punched her boyfriend and had charges against her and to me she is more man than woman anyway. Bethany is so full of herself she stinks. As for Simon, well I think he goes both ways IMHO. They are writing a book on child care. Did you ever see how these boys act? Well, if my name were Francois and I had to talk French I would be angry too if I were a boy. I think coming up are the Real Housewifes of New Jersey. This should be more down-to-earth and we shall see. When are they going to cover some more "normal" people? Does anyone really live like these jokesters? I feel sorry for their kids, they'll never know how the real world makes it through the day. The Countess won't allow lowly people to call her by her first name, God forbid! Disgusting but I keep watching, I don't know why. Get real, do an "ordinary housewife" for a change - Geez!

Luann DE Lesseps, the countess from "The Real Housewives of New York," is single. The 40-something American former model has been dumped via email by her 60-something husband Alex, with whom she has two kids.

Tuesday's NY Post confirms the rumors first reported Monday by New York Social Diary.

From the NYP:

A close pal said, "They decided to separate. She got wind he was seeing somebody and he didn't answer her when she called. He finally sent her an e-mail saying he was with an Ethiopian woman in Geneva and he was serious with her."

The revelation came as a shock to the countess, who celebrated her 16th anniversary with her husband on March 16.
"Luann was blindsided. She was just devastated," the close friend told Page Six. "They have basically lived apart for many years -- he lives in Europe and comes and goes as he pleases, but she never thought this would happen.

Monday's NYSD wrote:

Word comes from across the sea, that New York Housewives' Luann deLesseps has flown off (desperately?) to Europe to see husband Alex in an attempt to save their crumbling marriage. Alex, the Count de Lesseps has, it is said on the streets of Geneva, taken up with a beautiful Ethiopian beauty who is not only quite a bit younger than he but also quite a bit younger than his wife.

In the meantime, the sixty-something count has slimmed down, tanned up and looks years younger, according to friends, which once again raises the age-old question: Ain't love grand?

Luann plans to keep the title, though. Her book on manners, "Class With the Countess," comes out next month.

I don't think I've ever had a more uncontrollable urge to stick my fist through a television set than when Kelly is on.

Kelly is such a low class, immature, little piece of trash! I never even heard of the b!itch until Housewives this year. I'm not a big fan of Bethany but her little speech she gave her at the bar (after being a half hour late!) really boiled my blood!

I don't think I've ever hated somebody on TV this much before. She totally disgusts me. I hope Bravo drops her off on whatever corner they picked her up after this season is over.

Anyway, moving on.

Ramona is such a jerk to Alex and Simon. Seems she's really holding on to the past. Her husband Mario is no better. He grates on my nerves.

I just love Jill. Can't get enough of her!  Alex and Simon have really grown on me.

It'll be interesting next week, Re: the Countess giving her 'talk' to all the middle school students on what being a Countess means, all the while knowing what a train wreck she is now!

If things were so good with the OP with her current marriage, do ya think she'd be online reconnecting with anybody?!?!?!?!

So many women appear desperate to me in their 50s...and I don't know why because I'm in my late 50s and am never desperate sounding, appearing, etc......I just don't get it.  And no, I have chosen not to be married any longer for the past 16 years......

you know that old sayin?  want a man in my life, not in my house full time?!?!??!! 

If you can help or know anybody who can, please visit the below site and let people know, there are some really beautiful foals there that desperately need homes, please help.  All for the animals.

Our ྙ Buick has been very good to us, but the transmission is going. We've been adding something (don't know the name) every 6 months over the past year, but we don't think it will hold out much longer. Plus, the last ice storm really did a number on our windshield. We had a "stone crack" that was there since the day we bought the car, but the storm put a crack across the whole length of the windshield and back again. We are driving the car that way, but need a new one.

The problem is we can't afford anything over $2000 and most of the cars we have looked at are $4000 and up. Now, hubby tells me if I close out my IRA and pay for the car, he will guarantee to pay me back next year if he gets back to work. The thing I don't like is the word IF.  I have been practically sole support now because he hasn't worked much this year (not his fault) and, with the fall in the stock markets, I lost mucho dollars from my IRA, as he did. He still has double what I have left, but he wants me to close out my IRA.

We need a car so he can get to work (over 50 miles one way) once he gets back to work if he decides not to retire, but I'm tired of paying all the bills plus our health insurance (which he promised to pay half and hasn't been able to do - to the tune of $4000 owed) now having to worry about getting another car. Am I wrong to feel this way? I'm starting to feel like he just doesn't want me to have any control or have any savings, that it is a threat to him if I have any money.He's my high school sweetheart from 1965, so it's not like we're yung'uns. He wasn't this way until his surgery 2 years ago. I know I'll never be able to recoup my losses from my IRA and sometimes think I should just do what he says, but I feel it's my $$ that I worked hard to get, although it will never see me through my retirement.

He just paid the IRS and state taxes before the end of the year before they tacked on any more penalties and interest, and made ME feel guilty because I didn't have enough money deducted from MY wages to cover it (we are still trying to recover from his open heart surgery). I am claiming single and really starting to hurt money-wise. It's just too much for me to handle. I'm paying all the cc's that we had to use to survive to pay medical bills and doctors after his surgery.

What would you do in this case? I use the car maybe twice a week when it's here to go for groceries if he doesn't get around to going for them. Should I take him at his word? Should I close out my IRA and get a decent car (which would probably last us the rest of our life)?

I just need another person's opinion before I make my final decision. Thanks.
