Housewives Rocking Another Boat
Tumblr media
Tamra Judge is back, but she’s already all over the place. 
She just cried to Shannon Beador and said she missed their friendship, but their talk didn’t go well at all.
And she is throwing some serious jabs at Shannon!
Both Tamra and her husband, Eddie Judge are claiming that Shannon is drinking too heavily and blame that as the root to all of Shannon’s problems.
Tamra even said that the times she has spent with Shannon and her boyfriend John Janssen hasn’t been great and that here’s always a drunken fight.
But when the husband judges another housewife, it’s always awkward and I can’t imagine how Shannon must have felt while watching this episode.
When that’s said, I do agree with Tamra and Eddie. Her drinking has always been uncomfortable for me to watch over the years.
The worst of all was Braunwyn Windham-Burke’s “wedding”.
It was shown in a way for us to laugh of her drunkenness, but she made a fool of herself, and she talked with Braunwyn’s kids while drunk.
It made me uncomfortable. It wasn’t funny or comical. There are fun drunks, there are mean drunks and there are sloppy drunks. And Shannon was sloppy.
Ironically, Tamra got drunk on the boat and she was a mean drunk.
Gina Kirschenheiter had invited the women on a yacht ride. Sadly, or whichever she prefers, for Gina, she got sick and had to stay home.
And housewives famously don’t do well on boats.
Heather Dubrow kept on interrupting conversations and Emily Simpson kept on being annoyed by Heather’s interruptions.
Tamra was drunk and unleashed her wrath on Shannon who failed to show respect for Jennifer Pedranti’s emotional story about how she adopted her son.
And Taylor Armstrong who has joined this crazy group of women, looked baffled most of the time.
Heather is somewhat in the middle of Tamra and Shannon’s feud as they both call her to complain about the other.
But the person who appears to give actual useful advice in this situation, is Emily, who never gets to finish her thoughts on this boat.

Braunwyn Windham-Burke, ex Sean argue over dating ‘double standards’
Braunwyn Windham-Burke and her estranged husband, Sean Burke, don’t see eye to eye on a lot of things — and dating seems to be one of them. Sitting down exclusively with Page Six at their shared home in Newport Beach, Calif., the exes — plus Braunwyn’s girlfriend, Jennifer Spinner — argue over some apparent “double standards” that plague their post-split dynamic. “There’s times when we’re one big…

Braunwyn Windham: Jennifer Spinner is first ‘mentally stable’ person I’ve dated
Braunwyn Windham has upped her dating game with her new girlfriend, Jennifer Spinner. “I think this is my first relationship with someone that’s mentally stable,” the “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum, 44, tells Page Six in an exclusive new interview. “I’ve never had that before,” she continues. “And a part of me thought, ‘Is that going to be boring?’” It turns out, however, that Windham…

Spring can be an unpredictable time of year, with warm, summer-like conditions one day and snow the next. Much like Indian summer — a period of unseasonable warmth in the middle of autumn — these periods of springtime have several different names. The "little winters" in the middle of spring are known as Dogwood Winter, Blackberry Winter, Redbud Winter, and Whippoorwill Winter.
Our ancestors didn’t have calendars to consult. Instead, they relied on the signs of nature around them. Dogwood Winter usually falls during late April or early May, right around the time the dogwood trees start blooming in many regions. Farmers knew it wasn’t safe to plant their crops until after the dogwoods bloomed.
Another example is Blackberry Winter. Oldtimers knew that blackberries need a cold snap to set buds on the blackberry canes, so as sure as night follows day, there will be a cold snap when the blackberries bloom, called Blackberry Winter.
Redbuds bloom in mid to late March. The cold snap and snow in the higher elevations timed out with the Redbud Trees blooming, and that is simply why it’s called a Redbud Winter.
Whippoorwill Winter, is actually a sign of warmer days coming to stay for the summer. The whippoorwill migrates from wintering in Mexico to their summer range farther north in late May to early June. Whippoorwill Winter not as cold as the other “winters” but still a bit of cold snap.
There’s also Linsey-Woolsey Britches Winter, a term not used so much anymore. Linsey-Woolsey Britches Winter was once a popular term, back when winter clothing was homespun of linen/wool, and winters were harsher. It was the last time in spring that you’d need "long johns" before trading them for short sleeves, and it usually came about the time of Blackberry Winter.

Hi guys, will you all actually do me a huge favor and help me sign this petition? They are planning to build a factory in my county and it will affect the surrounding lakes, rivers and ecosystem in an incredibly negative way.
It's supposed to be a EV Lithium battery factory, and I don't think I need to explain to you how harmful any type of factory can and will be to our water, land and air. It will also cause heavy noise pollution, traffic and will raise taxes in the affected area. Please help me spread this so this unnessesary factory is not built and affects everyones quality of life surrounding it.

wc: ~1200 words
warnings: name-calling, lee gets very mad in this, apologies and tears with one reallyyy long hug. gets a little preachy at the end which i normally don’t vibe with but it felt appropriate for this au
a/n: i cannot even BEGIN to tell you how excited i was when i read this request! i tried writing it immediately but the story got away from me several times🤭 anyway today i managed to stay on track! woo! thank you so much, lovely anon. i hope you like this one🫶
pairing: lee bodecker x gn!little!reader
summary: lee takes his frustrations out on you and accidentally calls you something mean

“And look! Now Bingo Bunny has a hat to match his brown pants.”
“That’s nice, sweetheart-“
“Oh! I forgot his brown glasses too!” You ran back to your room to pick up yet another tiny accessory to show Lee. Ever since he got home an hour ago, you were running back and forth between his office and your room to show him your new treasures. Each toy had a story that reminded you of another toy which also had a story that connected to a totally different toy.
Lee sighed. He’d seen your entire toy collection by now. This little show-and-tell had started with the toys you bought by yourself today and devolved into a near encyclopedia of your entire collection.
Lee wanted to indulge your need for attention, but he needed to make one last phone call before he was officially done with work for today. Lee found he could never truly relax if he knew he had something to do or somewhere to be.
“I got the glasses! Look at Bingo, Daddy!” You held the bunny out and made him do a little dance.
“He’s lookin’ sharp, sugar.” He beckoned you over and leaned a little closer, then began to speak as if he were telling you a secret. You stopped buzzing for a moment to give Lee all of your focus, he knew just how to excite you and get your attention.
“Why don’t cha make a few more outfits for Bingo and do a fashion show for me later, yeah? Spend a long time on ‘em now. Make sure they’re perfect.”
“Okay, Daddy!” You left your daddy’s office once again, unaware that he was just trying to distract you.
Lee took advantage of this moment to swiftly lock his door and make the phone call. The sooner he could get this over with, the sooner he could be a proper daddy to you.
𓏲 ࣪₊♡
What was supposed to be a ten minute call ended up getting to forty minutes. Lee and Deputy O’Connolly were trying to review the security plan for the county fair, but they kept running into issues. Lee was nearing the end of his rope.
“What kinda idiot put Burke and Smith on entrance security? Those two ain’t nothin’ but trouble. Put ‘em together and add the pretty girls entering the fair into the mix and the line’ll grow ‘till it’s near half a mile!”
“I tell ya, this is the last time I trust anyone else to do shift assignments,” Lee groaned.
The two men continued talking as they made edits to their respective paper copies of the security plan. Then, Lee heard your little hand trying to wiggle open his office door.
“Hold on a second.” Lee covered the receiver and shouted to you, “I’m a bit busy right now!”
You shouted a response, but your voice didn’t project as well as Lee’s and it was muffled by the door.
“I’ll be out later, bunny! Just give me ten more minutes!” Lee thought that was the end of it, but you continued shaking the doorknob and started trying to push the door in.
“For the love of- I’ll call ya back later, Deputy.” Lee hung up the phone and stomped to the door, opening it with a huff.
You were still leaning on the door, but you managed to find your footing after the wood abruptly slipped away from you.
“Oh! Daddy, hi!”
“What is it? Is there a fire?”
“I got Bingo all dressed up! Come look!” You tried pulling Lee’s hand so he’d follow you, but he stayed rooted in his spot.
“Not now, bunny. Daddy’s on a very important phone call.”
“But you said-“
“Well now I’m sayin’ ‘not now’, aren’t I? You know the rules. Ya can’t interrupt Daddy at work unless it’s an emergency and ya sure as hell can’t go around trying to break down every door that stands in your way!”
“I just wanted to show you my Bingo,” you said quietly.
“And I’ll look at him later, but right now I’ve gotta explain to Deputy O’Connolly why I hung up on him ‘cause you’re too much of a damn airhead to know what a locked door means!”
You froze in front of Lee, too stunned to react.
He closed his eyes and ran a hand over his face. “Shit. Baby, I-“
Before Lee could continue, a whimper made its way out of your mouth, breaking you out of your trance and allowing you to run away.
Your daddy watched as you sped into your room and shut the door. He felt pathetic for taking his anger out on his baby. The sheriff wasn’t used to the feeling of white-hot anger and shame rolled into one. These weren’t the actions of the man he prided himself on being.
Lee took a few deep breaths before trying to open your door. You’d taken a page out of his book and locked it this time. You didn’t usually do this. Even when you were upset, you’d leave it unlocked, not even thinking to keep Lee out.
“Bunny, please open the door. Daddy wants to say somethin’ to ya.” Lee leaned his head on the door.
“Daddy gonna say somefin mean ‘gain!” you sobbed.
“No I’m not, I wanna apologize to ya.” Lee sighed. “I’m gonna get the key to your door okay? I need you to hear this.”
“No! No! Don’t wanna hear anything! Just leave me alone!”
Lee’s heart broke at the realization that he had lost your trust. He was your daddy. He was supposed to love you unconditionally and protect you from people who said mean things: people like him.
A tear slid down Lee’s cheek. “Baby, I’m sorry,” he said, his voice cracking slightly. “Daddy’s so fuckin’ sorry he said those mean things to ya. You’re not an airhead. You’re my smart, sweet, beautiful baby. I don’t deserve a perfect little thing like ya.”
Lee leaned against the wall. He was willing to wait as long as it took for you to let him in. To his surprise, not a minute later were you bursting through the door and wrapping your arms around him.
“Hey there, bunny. There’s my sweet baby,” Lee cooed.
You were still crying as you clung onto him. Lee continued soothing you with his words and touch.
“I know, I know.”
“Daddy’s so sorry, baby.”
When the last sobs left your body, Lee apologized again. It wasn’t perfect. Lee was never great with words. But it was soft and real. A gentle whisper in your ear while he hugged you so tight that you felt his tummy rumble with each passing syllable.
“I forgive you, Daddy.”
“You don’t have to, bunny. Daddy was awful to ya. Give me some time to make things right.”
You shook your head against his chest. “I forgive you,” you repeated, stubbornly.
Lee was at a loss for words. How could he ever repay your love? He settled for kissing your forehead and lingering for a moment. He thought about how lucky he was to have you and, for the first time in a while, Lee prayed. He prayed to someone, anyone, that he’d be able to make this up to you.
