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

A Quiet Interlude

 Not much appears to be going on. Living Legends came and went without fanfare ... what's the next event?   Super Bowl - Sunday February 11th?  Oscar's - March 10th?   In the mean time, some things are still rolling along in various starts and stops like Samantha's law suit. Or tax season is about to begin in the US.  The IRS just never goes away.  Nor do bills (utility, cable, mortgage, food, cars, security, landscape people, cleaning people, koi person and so on).  There's always another one.  Elsewhere others just continue to glide forward without a real hint of being disrupted by some news out of California.   That would be the new King and Queen or the Prince/Princess of Wales.   Yes there are health risks which seemed to come out of nowhere.  But.  The difference is that these people are calmly living their lives with minimal drama.  

As Time Passes and We Get Older

 I started thinking about how time passes when reading some of the articles about the birthday.  It was interesting to think about it from the different points of view.  Besides, it kind of fits as a follow up the last post (the whole saga of can the two brothers reunite). So there is the requisite article about how he will be getting all kinds of money willed to him from his great-grandmother.  There were stories about Princess Anne as trustee (and not allowing earliest access to it all).  Whether or not any or all of this is true (there was money for him and/or other kids) has been debated with claims she actually died owing money with the Queen paying the debts to avoid scandal.  Don't know but I seem to remember that royal estates are shrouded from the public so we may not (ever) know. However, strange things like assisting in a book after repeated denials have popped up in legal papers so nothing is ever really predicable.   We are also seein...

The Opening Act of New Adventures in Retail

 I keep thinking things will settle down to the lazy days of spring where the weather is gorgeous and there is a certain sense of peacefulness.  New flowers are coming out. increasing daylight so people can be outside/play and thinking gardening thoughts.  And life is quiet.  Calm. And then something happens like a comet shooting across the sky.  (Out of nowhere it arrives and then leaves almost as quickly.)   An update to a law suit.  Video of the website is released (but doesn't actually promote any specific product which can be purchased from the website).  A delay and then jam is given out (but to whom and possible more importantly - who did not make the list?).  Trophies almost fall (oops).  Information slips out like when the official date of beginning USA residency.  (now, isn't that interesting?) With them, it's always something in play or simmering just below the surface.  The diversity of the endeavors is really ...
