Gotta give the Mrs credit - she is good at what she does. As Hikari mentioned probably crashed the Skip wedding, coerced her way into the Royal Family, looks to be making nice to Gordon Getty (if Lady C is correct per the family) Great at attaining but not retaining (not her strong suit) That she is still on her feet is kinda remarkable. Disappointing but remarkable

Oh my, Oh my, Oh my, * is going after 90 year-old Gordon Getty, multi-billionaire. Luckily he's got family to keep on eye on him, and the grifter.
Re Gordon Getty,

SwampWoman mentioned trusts. Yes the bulk of the money or all of the money is most likely in a trust, but you can remove money from it as well as add.

The Getty family contacted Lady C so she could make the situation public knowledge. I’m sure the family will step in if Maggot asks for money etc.

It’s still unknown whether she and Mole have actually split, H G Tudor thinks they haven’t, I’ll believe it when I hear about it officially. 😃

IMO, the stories he tells about her in the book really expose her for the manipulative, completely self-centred, shallow and deceitful person she is. It never continues to amaze me that he does not see it. He really must be exceptionally dimwitted.

However, that in itself is not unusual (his dimwittedness). I wandered over to LSA where an Unpopular Opinions: Meghan Markle thread about TBW was taken ultra private. The site has dozens of threads mindlessly adoring TBW and viciously attacking Catherine, with some vitriol reserved for William. The hapless one is notable by his almost complete absence. What I liked about the above-mentioned thread is that the members share information that does not appear elsewhere and have a reasonable and intelligent debate, mostly, (much like here), but they actually never mindlessly and viciously attack TBW with lies they have made up or in a really nasty way. I think the sugars hate stuff like that (that it was popular, reasonable, articulate and thorough).

Some of my favourites stories, from the book, that expose her:

* Collapsing on the stairs or on the floor, sobbing. For goodness sake! Toddlers behave like that.

* Her manipulativeness and compulsion to control from the first date, and even procuring that first date. She even contacted him soon after that short first date. Princess Pushy from the first moment! Some men like a dominant controlling woman. I guess he is one of those men.

* Her total lack of class or refinement. That she shares her life with a man who, despite his upbringing and background, shows no class in how he speaks or what he speaks about is the red flag. But right from the start when she turned up her nose at Frogmore Cottage and its contents she showed her complete lack of appreciation for quality. He gives us a description of what was in his home and, although it probably needed a 'woman's touch', what was there was quality, including unique momentos of his royal life.

For those who have read the whole book ... is there anything you could think to add to the list?

LOL if the Getty family believes that the concept of 'shame' has any relevance for Lodger or Todger.

the question is does todger know (before now) or is she working this one all by herself

Cliff Hanger

Deadlines for responses have passed.  Will they show?  Won't they show?   And, rumors of demands for money to cross hands to make appearances (new level of pay to play). Such drama.  You would think this was a soap opera where every episode ends with a crazy cliff hanger story plot to drive the next installment.  Sadly, I don't expect it to change any time soon either.  No.  For them, there appears to be way too much energy left in the will they, won't they to end it now even though everyone else is pretty much tired of it.  Hardly something one can point to and claim that they are trying to reconcile with those who feel distressed about what was printed. Just noticed something: remember that talk of trying to reach out and reconcile after the book, etc.?  It seems to have drifted away, hasn't it?  Hmm.  Interesting.  I wonder if that is recognized as a total lost cause or just delayed into the summer (or fall) campaign (c...

Here comes Trevor

If you're a Beatles fan, you'll know that in the fifty years since the group went its separate ways, almost everyone involved with them has sold his or her story. Only one major figure has not: Jane Asher , who was Paul McCartney's girlfriend for five years during the heyday of the group, and accompanied him on the famous trip to India in 1968. An actress, Jane went on to become a TV personality and famous cake-baker. She has never spoken about her time with McCartney and dislikes being asked. Until recently, the Sussex saga had included a similar figure: Trevor Engelson, Meghan Markle's ex-husband.  Trevor has never spoken about Meg. But he has done well for himself: he married a wealthy woman , continues to work as a producer , and seems to have a loyal (and multi-racial!) circle of friends , unlike some people we know.  He appeared to have excused himself from the whole soggy mess.  Until yesterday, when he was papped. Driving his black Porsch...

Adventures in Starting a Business

I admit, I made a mistake.  I thought it was a vision board, not a mood board at first.  On some levels being a mood board and not a business plan may actually show more window dressing and even less planning and thought for the business. The photo(s) of the board drew a lot of criticism of too forced looking to be real and similar.  And that is true.  It is, I suspect, that influencer look influencing how the just so perfectly curated look that influencers spend a lot of time and effort - to look effortlessly.  Most small business offices I have been in never looked curated.  Messy was more like it.  I have worked in offices with positive, uplifting posters (which no one really talked about - they filled blank wall space). But in the real world of business, there is nothing technically wrong with nice positive affirmations.  We can all use some positive pep talk.  But it isn't a business plan.     Yeah, making positive stateme...
