Question #15
I don’t watch much news on TV since leaving the business. It is partially due to the fact that my television is locked on cartoons.

After two miscarriages I am pretty sure this is my last baby. I guess my dreams of becoming the next Kate Gosselin are over. Do you think Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise wants a woman…

Blair: Wow, you are so completely wrong about me. Did you actually do ANY research before you wrote this? Me:Yes, I at the library now. Just went through the seven minute segment on the Today show. Pulling up microfiches of all your old posts. Blair, I wrote my opinion of your point of view. I find it to be vapid and vacuous of any sense or experience. We get it. Some parents go overboard. You have a…
