Comments about Star Wars Ewok Toddler Costume:
Received this in the mail and I am appalled that they would try to pass this scrap piece of junk off as pictured. The ears are on it are tiny and the "fur" is short, is uneven, and can't be seen from the front; it's not only poorly stitched, the stitching is crooked; and the seams are poorly hemmed. It also smells like an cigarette factory. I am disgusted and disappointed that we don't have time to find a replacement costume.
Comments about Star Wars Ewok Toddler Costume:
My Mother ordered this for my 2 1/2 year old And it came 10/22/2011 And it was to small My son is 32 lbs and 37 inchs And the costume which is a one piece was almost shorts on him :( I'll diff recommend it to other friends As long as they have smaller children

Comments about Star Wars Ewok Toddler Costume:
I bought this for my 1 year old son for his halloween costume. It looks pretty much just like the picture. The only bad thing about it is it's made pretty cheap, the fabric is really thin. But, all & all it's what I expected, and fits my son perfectly.

Alexander's Japanese beer book gets green light
It was a message University of Wisconsin-Parkside History Professor Jeff Alexander had been anxiously waiting to hear.
"TERRIFIC NEWS! We have jumped through every single last hurdle and are ready to go," Emily Andrew, senior editor in the Toronto office of the University of British Columbia Press (UBC Press) said in an email. "I can now invite submission of the final manuscript."
After peer review, Alexander's book "Brewed in Japan: The Evolution of the Japanese Beer Industry," has been accepted for publication by UBC Press.
"My book traces the history of beer production and sales in Japan, using the industry to shed light on a variety of themes, including technology, marketing, beer advertising, and shifting consumer preferences. It offers perspectives on the early proliferation of Western-style taverns and beer gardens, the efforts of Japan's government to monopolize beer production during the Second World War era, the rapid rise in beer consumption by women in the postwar, and how the pressures of the war years steadily transformed this European beverage into a thoroughly domestic Japanese commodity by the 1950s."
Alexander also received an $8,000 publishing grant from the Awards for Scholarly Publications program. The funds will allow UBC Press to put the book in production this fall. The Awards for Scholarly Publications program is supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
This is Alexander's second book following the 2008 publication of "Japan's Motorcycle Wars: An Industry History." He expects "Brewed in Japan" to be released in summer 2013 and hints he may do another Japanese beer tasting event during the upcoming Worldfest celebration.

Oh Great: Researchers Breed X-Large Insects
You know, I've been so busy preparing for the robot apocalypse that I might have overlooked the possibility (and severity) of a giant insect apocalypse. Put on your beekeeper's suit and grab a flamethrower, we've got some legs to torch.
As many readers will doubtless be aware, during the late Paleozoic era the Earth was, if not exactly ruled or terrorised, at the least very seriously bothered by swarms of gigantic dragonflies with wingspans around 70cm across. The monster insects will have been all the more troublesome as dragonflies "need to hunt live prey", according to experts.
One such expert is Dr John VandenBrooks, who has after a lengthy struggle managed to breed such much-enlarged dragonflies in his Arizona laboratory. The large size was achieved by enhancing atmospheric oxygen levels to 31 per cent, as seen in the Paleozoic (today's air is only about 20 per cent O2).The hard bit, according to the prof, was not the creation of this artificially enriched (or "hyperoxic") atmosphere but the actual care and feeding of the monstrous, prehistoric winged flesh-eaters.
"Monstrous, prehistoric winged flesh-eaters," awesome. If it's not a pterodactyl I don't want any part of it. If it is a pterodactyl then I just want the private parts. Now, if we hold two magnifying glasses in front of each other does that make the insect-burning beam stronger? Because I have three of them. And -- AND -- the monocle I stole from a guy dressed as Mr. Peanut last night.
Enormous Paleozoic flesh-eaters created in lab [register]
Thanks to SquidgyB and Mike, who agree any bug larger than a peanut butter and banana sandwich is just too damn big.

GAUVIN: Demanding more services from the town is tantamount to begging for higher taxes
Written by Patriot Staff
January 15, 2010
Call it a cash crash.
Local property taxes are up for many, snow is sucking up budget bucks by the plow-full, town-imposed non-deductible fees are testing public resistance and we're still being warned that town services and jobs face the scalpel. "Whoa" is us.
The town is spending tax receipts like a Ponzi perpetrator while substantial employee man-hours are devoted to Town Manager (and Publisher) John Klimm's expanding media empire – a cable fee-supported daily TV show (WKLM?), weekly newsletters, a monthly newspaper – that accentuate the positive (and eliminate the negative), and still people were complaining at the town council meeting last week that they aren't getting enough solid intelligence, particularly about the issues-du-jour, that is, wastewater and snow plowing.
To be fair – difficult as that is for opinion writers, some will say – Klimm's start-up news conglomerate isn't getting the attention it should get from the citizenry. Corroborating that view is the recent citizen survey by the Center for Policy Analysis at U-Mass, Dartmouth, which placed Klimm's information outlets at the bottom of the town's media heap.
Respondents said they got most of their news by far from the daily
Cape Cod Times
first (90.3 percent) and the
Barnstable Patriot
second (56.7 percent), then in descending order, WQRC radio (53 percent) , municipal Channel 18 that carries town meetings (48.9 percent), WXTK radio (41.6 percent), the
(36.2 percent), the
(23.4 percent), the free monthly municipal newsletter (23.1 percent) and Klimm's weekly newsletter, (21.8) and reportedly climbing from 2007.
Despite a substantial effort to communicate with the citizenry, even using department heads (thus tax money) to prepare packets of information for dissemination, the public reception has been less than stellar. The poll says nearly half the populace (47.2 percent) never uses the town's Web site www.town.barnstable.ma.us while only 24.5 percent use the site a few times a year, one reason undoubtedly being to find one's ever-changing property values. Only 2 percent of the respondents said they visit the site daily.
Given the dismal voter turnout in municipal elections, it isn't surprising citizens who nonetheless say they are thirsty for information can't be bothered to read or listen to the voluminous and often complex, boring and/or biased details of municipal operations. People generally are disinclined to govern themselves, preferring to let hired hands do it for them, then making critical sport of second-guessing everything they do and every dime they spend.
That was the case with snowplowing operations in the wake of recent storms. The Monday morning quarterbacks shoveled criticism at the town's handling of snow removal and, guess what, the
lack of real-time information
about the process as it was happening, for example… "When are you going plow my street??"
The torrent of phone calls from impatient and uninformed citizens spawned an internal investigation that found the municipal storm response "adequate" given the 20 or more inches of snow and the ill-suited equipment available to remove such unusually deep deposits.
Here's where the cash crash collides. The public strong-arms the government for faster, better service. The government responds, in this case, by saying it will try to hire heavier equipment from off-Cape to join the existing but inadequate fleet of plows during overpowering storms. That equals more cash.
Also, suggestions were offered at the council meeting last week to set up a bank of phones – and employees to man them – or somehow tap into the town's existing information outlets to provide citizens with real-time responses to their snow-clearing questions. In other words, the public wants more service, the government is ready to provide it, but when the bill arrives, the public will scream about too much spending and too high taxes. But when the electorate refuses to vote, and when the public ignores government information outlets, then who really is the culprit here?
The proposals to improve snow-clearing operations are like talking about buying a Mercedes-Benz on a hospitality worker's salary, evoking President Reagan's observation that, "Government doesn't solve problems, it subsidizes them" – with your money, we might add.
Why would the citizenry want to keep adding to the town's budget woes that usually are reflected in higher taxes or cuts in other services or jobs, when perhaps a modicum of patience and logic will serve?
Multiple news outlets warn of coming storms, their potential depth, the possibility of power outages and unplowed roads and how wise it would be for people to prepare for the worst.
The Boy Scout code notwithstanding, it's more fun not to "be prepared" at all because that would deprive the critics of another fine political romp.

Sanoma Oyj (formerly SanomaWSOY) is a leading media group in the Nordic countries with operations in over 10 European countries, based in Helsinki. The group is also among the top five European magazine publishers and has a strong position, in addition to its native Finland, in Belgium, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia and Ukraine.
SanomaWSOY was formed in 1999 with the merger of Sanoma Corporation, WSOY (Werner Söderström Osakeyhtiö; Werner Söderström Corporation) and Helsinki Media Company.[2] The group reverted to the name Sanoma Corporation in October 2008.[3] On 5 March 2012, the group announced that it had sold R-Kioski, a Finland based Finnish–Baltic kiosk chain with 1,048 outlets, to Norway's Reitan Group for roughly 1 billion Norwegian krone. The group had been working on the purchase for a decade, but previous negotiations had stranded as Sanoma had demanded a merger where they owned 51 percent. The purchase brought the Reitan Group to 2,500 kiosk outlets, making it the second-largest kiosk group in Europe.[4]
The group has an annual turnover of 2.761 billion euros[1] and employed over 15,400 people on a full-time equivalent basis at the end of 2010.
The company consists of five divisions:[5]
- Sanoma Magazines: Magazine publishing and online operations
- Sanoma News: Newspaper publishing, online operations and printing
- Sanoma Learning & Literature: Educational publishing, publishing, and business information and services
- Sanoma Entertainment: TV, online gaming services, and radio
- Sanoma Trade: Kiosk operations, press distribution, bookstores and entertainment
Sanoma's stock is listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange. Its biggest owners include Aatos Erkko and other members of the Erkko family. The newspaper Helsingin Sanomat that was founded in 1889 as Päivälehti, is one of the single most significant products of the group.

Totally agree I have just said my piece on Ramonas blog about not liking how you spoke to Sonja I mean come on grow up xo Love you xo
Who were Ramona and her sidekick to utter a word at all??? And let's not forget that Ramona KNEW that Reid was coming before I ever left New York and, believe me, he was not interested in being around this group of pent up cougars. We had discussed it! The house was HUGE with separate entrances/exits for each room So what was the problem? Why such insensitivity towards me and my family?
The ganging up on LuAnn to shame and intimidate was terrible. Did you see Ramona berate Carole for having Russ over??? Ramona was concerned that it was HER first night??? This was Carole's trip, and she hadn't seen her boyfriend in months!!! Does Ramona ever stop and think of others? Who behaves this way to a friend? To a hostess??? This looks like spring break for cougars. Not my style and certainly not worth dragging my husband on the plane for.
Totally agree I have just said my piece on Ramonas blog about not liking how you spoke to Sonja I mean come on grow up xo Love you xo
Aviva is my least favorite housewife (including all casts). The personal attacks/name calling is so classless. She is the true bully here - she is the one who would not let anything go, the name calling, the non-stop attacks... So full of judgement. Watching her made my head ache. I hope Andy cans her or I will o.d. on Advil.
What is wrong with Ramona and Sonja naked spooning? You have mentioned that a couple of times and I am curious about your aversion to it. I have been married to the man of my dreams for 20 years. My best friends from high-school still get together twice a year. There are six of us and of course, I am closer to one of them than the others. I love them all, but one is just my person. She is my go-to for everything. Yes, we've slept in the same bed. Yes, we've spooned. We're both married so we are both used to having someone else in the bed. She has even spooned me in a hospital bed after I miscarried at 22 weeks. My husband was out of state and she stayed there with me, all night, hanging onto me. It made me feel safe. It made me feel loved. It made me feel like I could let go of my pain and she would catch me.
Sonja has been going through hell with her divorce. It is obvious that she still has feelings and wants a friendship with the father of her daughter. It is obvious she is struggling to land on two feet with all the money problems surrounding her. It is also obvious that Ramona is her person. For better or worse, this Laverne and Shirley tag team are in it together. They are Ethel and Lucy. They are Thelma and Louise. They are the turtle time, party hard, dance your ass off and drink until you throw up kind of girls. Both have to be professional in their day to day life. It's OKAY to let loose and let it all hang out among friends. My friends, all six of us, have been naked in a sauna comparing the sags and wrinkles and general horror of getting older. We are all about to turn forty and we're taking a trip to Alaska. A three bedroom cabin awaits us and, of course, we've got our pairs picked out. My person and I will share a bed. And I'd be pretty damn pissed if she didn't spoon me and keep me warm at night. Do I love my friend? Of course I do. Do I love her the same way I love my husband of twenty years? No.
If Ramona and Sonja want to naked spoon or swim naked together or walk around naked on a nudist beach --- who cares? I don't know if it's romantic. Perhaps it is. Perhaps it isn't. One thing I do know is that the girl who parties the hardest and laughs the loudest and puts on a smile while she drains a bottle ... she's usually the one who cries herself to sleep. In the dark of night those demons come out. There is no audience. There is no center stage to command. There is no one to laugh with, drink with, or forget with.
Thank GOD if that person has an anchor who will hang onto her or let her hang on to them.
Their bodies, their boundaries, and their closes-ness should not be put under a microscope by you. If they are comfortable being naked and in bed together --- it's truly none of your business.
I love you. Like I said. You seem to really care about your charities and you are willing to confront your phobias occasionally. Did you ever think that Ramona is Sonja's "Reid" and helps with Sonja's own fears and phobias? Maybe Sonja does that for Ramona as well.
In the grand scheme of things . . . naked spooning ranks about as high as changing a child's name after he's several months old. It doesn't matter at ALL.
JoJett... I agree with you that Aviva's remarks tell more about her than those whom she's talking about (And the same goes for Ramona! She, too, was lashing out with angry outbursts when things didn't go her way.) But, Aviva takes the cake with these crude/cruel remarks designed to discredit and destroy anyone who upsets her. She's trying very hard to ruin Ramona and Sonja's reputation... hence, the remark about them spooning in bed... and in St B, she said she knew for a fact they all had men there every night! (Jealous much??? LOL) Looks like next week, back in NY, she's going to have a 'friend to friend' talk with Sonja to tell her she's worried Sonja is spiraling out of control. LOL (SOMEONE is spiraling out of control... and it ain't just Sonja!!)
I tried to like Aviva but something wasn't quite right when she kept hounding Heather for not inviting Ramona to London and talked about it to everyone! Heather had her reasons. Aviva is very passive aggressive. She wants others to think that she's "really caring" but that's just to hide her envy/anger issues. She keeps making a big deal about how much the other women drink.... but HER actions are sure signs of "addictive" behavior. It might not be alcohol, but it's something that distorts reality for her and fuels her anger too, I suspect. It could be the reason she want's Reid with her at all times too.
Oh, and one other thing. Mentioning that Sonja and Ramona were "naked and spooning" in their bed was really a very classless attempt to start rumors about them and stir up something that doesn't exist. Even if it does exist, you throwing that into your remarks above was incredibly high-school mean girl, and classless.
That remark reveals FAR more about YOUR character than it does theirs.
Dear Aviva,
This is a reply to your latest events on Saint Barts, but has relevance to Ramona and Sonja's
insensitivity to your very worthwhile charity.
Ironically the same thing happened to a couple from the prior two years of the show, although that couple just moved as a unit. But the husband's presence interfered with what ever the "all girls" dynamic is about: regressing, abetting each others fantasies about sexual attractiveness, enabling shared narcissism while revealing inappropriate levels of intimacy, and
an overall lack of boundaries and self-awareness.
When ever you mention an unpleasant reality, they retreat because such admissions threatens
the bubble of artifice they inhabit. It scares them, so they try to deny it's significance to you. They can't handle it. Sonja in particular, terrified by her loss of status and money, can't figure out what to do, and turns to just plain silly "solutions" which prolong her plight.
The Countess, by the way, has had her moments of bullying and classlessness, especially last year when she was hostess on a trip to Morocco. Each dinner included a lecture on etiquette, and embodied a lack of grace and easy hospitality.
We all carry some "baggage" from childhood. The important thing is to be self-aware, polite as can be, and not boss other adults around. The echoes of elementary school are astonishingly
obvious to the viewer.
But by the same token we all have a breaking point, and your lashing out was just that from
a terribly deflated feeling that all you had gone through to get there meant nothing to
"the girls." They don't do empathy.
You have PTSD from your accident. I like how you say it like it is and blow up -- and than apologize. At least you get it out into the open and Ramona and Sonja know where your coming from. They may not like it but your expectations are clear. Thank you for bringing to light about anxiety problems -- I so enjoy you on this show. You do a great service to the community by bringing to light about anxiety problems and being an amputee. Love, Love, Love Aviva.
Wow! What an incredible snob you are! Calling people trash? Rattling off your resume? Putting yourself above other people? It all comes across as extremely pathetic, and you look painfully insecure and judgmental. Are these your true colors? What a change from the other episodes this season. I would be so shamed of myself! Who are you to judge what the other women do or drink?! You're right, you should have toyed home!!
Aviva, I've liked you from the start. However, I was dissappointed in your actions on St. Barth but, knowing you were stressed out all day, will give you another chance. I'm not ready yet to make a judgement call based on one bad situation.
Aviva, I think you were horrible to Ramona and Sonja on this trip...the same way you were to them when they didn't show up for your charity event. It seems as iif you turn into this mean monster when people don't respond to you the way you think they should. Ramona and Sonja were justified in expecting the trip to be a girl's trip. I understand you have a list of phobias. However you cannot expect everyone to alter their lifestyles to accommodate your phobias. I personally think that your fear of flying isn't as severe as you are portraying it. I think you are using that "phobia" as a way to get attention. You were very dramatic on the plane ride wuth Reid. The histrionics were over the top. And when you got to the house where the ladies were, every time someone asked you how the flight was, your response was "it was really, really bad". Each response( 4 of them), was said so dramatically, as if you were speaking it for he first time. You owe everyone an apology.
I did not agree with all the wild behavior on the trip, but you a very quick to judge others! Remember how you didn't listen to Heather when she tried to reason with you about Ramona? there are two sides to every story. Not sure if you watched the show before, but the "Girls" trips are always pretty wild, so I am not sure what you were expecting, but it's pretty obvious!!! Evn though I don't agree with all the behavior that happened, you had some very low class comments yourself! I think you need to apologize to a few people! As far as the phobia problems you have - you need to get some help! It seems like they are getting worse & you cannot expect people to "roll out the red carpet & drool all over your husband" for helping you! He is your husband!!
Can u believe Aviva? Her explanation blog alone describes what type of person she really is! Poor Aviva! How dare these ladies act unbecomingly! They should take tantrum lessons from her and everyone would get along a lot better, be better mother's - etc - and she's appalled? She can't believe their teenager behaviors? As she says - blah, blah, blah - did she even view her behavior or even remember how she acted - from start to finish - and as for the others and drinking - at least that gives them a reason for unbecoming behavior - she acted as she did stone sober! That tells me - what you see is what she is! And her statement of the others only thinking of themselves - again, is she not only suffering from anxiety but maybe also some other type of mental delusions? No one on the show screams (demands) to be above all others more than Aviva- not even snakey Ramona! Ramona, Sonja, and LuAnn - we are all use to and know already - they are fake, back stabbing, step on anyone, loud, obnoxious - the list is endless - but didn't Aviva view episodes of previous seasons before signing on to be part of this show? Being so educated I'm sure she did - why did it take her half of this season to figure out Ramona - she knew - she tried her best to play the game - hob knob with the most sought after at the time - that could and would benefit her the most on the show - and it back fired on her! Sorry about your luck Miss High and Mighty - and while we're at it - you stated your need for Reid on this trip and due to your anxiety of flying - it was related to your probability, statistically, that the odds were against you due to your accident at age 6? Again, please, you're at least 50 - and an accident at age 6 - and it was a tragedy - but I'd say your odds are great and in your favor - not against you - being that your accident was at age 6 - and you're now 50 and nothing else major has happened - am I missing something - or is this also being used as another one of your excuses? If you honestly looked into this - I am sure - you've paid the price, and with nothing else happening to you over the years - I would think its safe to say you're not on any list, doomed in any way, or have a black cloud hovering over you - and it's probably safe to say - being rich, living the life you have, having the opportunities you have had - etc - God has more than compensated you - over and over - luxurisly - so, I think you are appalling by playing the victim due to your injury and not acknowledging all that you have and have been given - you did not earn all these things on your own so spare us that one too - save the cries of "why me" - how dare you! - when so so many have suffered as much and some a lot more than you - and did not and do not have the means to function without difficulties - have "legs" for each type of outfit or different style of shoes as you so boldly display on air - then turn around at the same time and cry your woe me song! Let that song be sung by those that really carry the tune!
Aviva, after watching tonights episode, it appeared that you were upset going into the room with Sonja and Ramona. It appeared someone had told you things behind their back in private to get you angry. Then, LuAnn made a comment that through you over the edge. I know you are an attorney and know everything, but, it did feel as if LuAnn said something to you prior and reinforced it when you were all together. I know you are angry at them, but, I think Ramona was trying to help her friend Sonja. She is all alone and I think that S&R talked and that is why Ramona was trying to help her out and get another place for them to move to just in case. While you have your fears, Sonja has her sadness and loneliness. We saw LuAnn clearly say that Reid being there would change the dynamic and clearly lie. She is the one you should direct your anger at. You had a chip on your shoulder the moment you got there about them. Clearly, you thought their antics in Florida were not appropriate and it festered and made you more angry with them than you should have been.
OMG,, Can you over react anymore..The poor white trash comment was so uncalled for. you just shown your true colors. You just need to get over it and you need to apologize for you actions.
Avila, I understand your feelings were hurt in learning that some girls discussed how Reid's arrival would disrupt the girls trip dynamics, however, Ramona and Sonja were calmly telling you that they were happy you were there and that Reid had his own agenda for the trip. You immediately scolded them loudly, called them names and insulted them, while continuing to act childish. Then you run to rally all of the girls to try to get them against those two. That is low and uneducated behavior. Believe me I'm actually not a ramona fan, but in this case I feel that you are wrong. Here's the thing, you were the one with the imposing issue that I certainly feel for you, but it's not their problem. You impose your anxiety issues on this trip and go in blazing, your antics ruined the dynamics! And Carole's night. And to say you expected the red carpet treatment and a party for your arrival, jeeze, why? Who do you think you are? It was just ridiculous. Get over yourself. This entire season all you have done was instigate fights and we are all tired of it. I'm hoping at the reunion, you own up to it and apologize, or you'll again look foolish.

After just watching the latest episode...I have to say you are very passive aggresive and this is the first time I saw it, and you didn't let up at the dinner table....asking Ramona why she wants to move your seat and being sarcastic with the "fun fun fun" statement, let it go. I think YOU were the one who went overboard in this case, the others did not owe your husband a thank you for getting you there, YOU did.
I can't believe you repeated the "Rush" nasty comment. It should never, ever be said about any women. Shame on you. The "White Trash" comment was more tacky then what Ramona and Sonia said. It wasn't ever a big deal. You should have had a nice cool shower and changed your clothes when you arrived and I think you would have handled things better.
From what you bring to the screen, it seems like you need to learn how to meditate, do yoga, or something else that will help you relax. In regards to St. Barth, it seems as if you were looking like a fight as soon as you arrived. Everyone seemed to be having fun until you arrived with your drama.
Aviva, these are not "friends" -- I am embarrassed by Ramona and Sonja; you and Carole and Heather can definitely find a better class of friends
IMHO you do NOT face your fears or address your phobias. Your husband is your crutch. If you truly believe what you said, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger", then you should actually go face-to-face with your fears. Allow your husband the respect of being supportive without being so needy that he has to be your sole support. Maybe if you didn't throw your phobias around like, "This is me; take it or leave it" you would find support from some of the women. It could open up a whole new world for you in the comfort department. That, plus being less judgemental, could go a long way.
I definitely like you and think you are a classy and smart woman. I think your husband is a total gem and clearly loves you very much, always a sweet and endearing thing to see.
I think the girls were their typicaly silly, juvenile and disrespectful selves (Ramona and Sonya) without really meaning to be. I think its just them thoiugh their behavior for me gets old really fast.
The only thing that stumped me and a friend who loves the show said the same, is how you kept wanting everyone to thank Reid, for bringing you. I found that odd, they really didnt' have to "thank" him, it was only you who should thank him for getting you there. It isnt' their job or obligation to do so, so I fully disagree with you on that and I am thinking you were still stressed from the flight and thats why you acted that way. Overall though like you very much!
I have alot of respect for Aviva. She is a role model for many of us . God bless you Aviva. My Friend lost her log in a Motorcyle accident and I have alot of respect for strong women. Don't let those women bully you. And going to St. Bartts on that lil plane was very brave of you... Best of health...
My mother was an amputee and I applaud what you do with your charity. You are an inspiration. Thank you for being on the show and sharing your message. You may want to review previous seasons episodes to familiarize yourself with Ramona and Sonja... they are quite crazy and ridiculous. I've personally hoped each season that they are gone.
i can't wait for tonight's episode - the teaser tells all already, that you are going to tell the 2 blonde bombed-shells words that a nation of RHONYC watchers have been waiting so long to hear!
and wasn't heather right - you have been playing too close to the ramona fire (+ sidekick) and just think, you almost got sucked into it yourself....) but things do backfire, but in a way that gets something rather key out into the open: white trash with too much cash, flash & splash (the pinot, of course) is a toxic mix of fame for 2 super-conservative attention-addicted gals who live with the "wild abandon" and sophistication of a couple of naive & mouthy 16 year olds from smallville, anywhere.
Aviva, In a prior post I said how glad I was that you told off Sonja & Ramona. While I still am glad I am seeing you in a different light. You seem to get angry very easily and then go on a rant if you disapprove of whats been said. You butchered Heather and now these other ladies. Before you know it Luann and Carole will come under your rath. These women don't owe you one thing when it comes to you being afraid of flying. Just because you went to college and Vassar doesn't make you the smartest woman, it really just made you a snob. by you throwing it out to Sonja. You aren't the center of attention so get over it and things will be ok.
Still think my girl Heather was remiss in not inviting Ramona on the UK trip? Got hit with the crazy stick yourself, I see.
If your fear of flying was really about being afraid of a crash, you'd be worried about you and your husband leaving your children parentless. Many years ago, parents often flew separately to protect their children. One parent reached the destination safely, and the other flew the next day.
Aviva, the two women you are the friendliest with aren't your biggest supporters. Be careful with the company you keep. Although you may think they are your friends action speak louder then words. Besides you, Heather and Carole are the normal down to earth women on that show. I couldn't agree with you more regarding your statement on "Women in their 40s and 50s should have evolved to a place of kindness, compassion, and decency, having had children and some life experience."
You are taking what they were trying to say WAY to harsh. It was a girls trip. Understandably, they would want only girls. They wanted a week of partying. It is not the same when you add one person's husband to the mix. This is not something for you to get this upset about. No on spoke ill of you or him. I thought they were funny and looked like they were having a great time. Especially Luann and the man she obviously brought back to the house. Calm down and relax.
These women have shown you a lot of patience and understanding. You should try doing the same for them instead of calling them names and looking down at them for having fun at St. Barths. You need to lighten up and DON'T BRING YOUR HUSBAND ON GIRLS TRIPS!
I saw an interview with Aviva yesterday in which she said that she wasn't on speaking terms with Ramona or Sonja since this trip. I went back and re-read Aviva's blog and now I can see more where her anger is coming from. It's going to be a wild Reunion.
While I agree that Ramona and Sonja was and, usually is out-of-line, it's hard to be sympathetic with you Aviva. It was okay for you not to invite LuAnn and Heather to Florida, but not for Heather to exclude Ramona to London. It was okay for you to be a part of the gossip about LuAnn's boyfriend, but they were wrong for having Ramona do a blind taste testing on her own wine. Would you want to buy a product that the manufacturer does not recognize or like? But mostly, during your righteous indignation meltdown of how you were treated at St. Barths, it seems that you would have garnered an ounce of empathy for what Heather has endured from Ramona.
I think that the girls are entitled to not be happy that Reid was joining but they are not entitled to express their displeasure to Carole or Aviva. A good guest would simply put up with it, as having him around for two days out of five really isn't that big of a deal. The girls were acting very entitled - put off that they would actually have to compromise and accommodate someone else's needs for a change. (Aviva's need to have her husband travel with her.) That was obnoxious of them. But as far as I can see, they didn't express their displeasure to Carole or Aviva, they simply discussed it among themselves. I think the private discussion was fine. The problem is when someone told Aviva about the private discussion. I would have kept that to myself. If I have a conversation among friends I would feel betrayed if one of those friends went and blabbed. I also think Carol should take a stand because she is the hostess. She should have made it clear that Reid is welcome to stay in the house or that Reid should stay in a hotel. If it was clear then there would have been no need to discuss what to do with Reid when he arrived. In some ways I think Aviva is being too sensitive. She should try to see the girls' perspective instead of being so quick to be offended. My main issue with Aviva is that while she is lovely and I do like her, she is also quite judgmental. However, I can see how she became angry once she found out that the girls conspired to make Reid feel unwelcome. That's when she became protective of her loved one and who wouldn't? If my friends gathered to discuss kicking out my husband and thus making him feel unwelcome, my loyalty gene would kick in and I would protect my husband.
Totally agree with Avivia sorry just to be clear, you done so well and its sweet you need your husband before booze and zanex that was a lovely comment xo
@Propeller Completely agree about the Countesses classless behavior in Morocco and was disturbed no one seemed to notice at the time.
LuAnn did not make her guests feel welcome. She gossiped about them to the people running the house and to the other guests. She belittled them if they did not do what she wanted when she wanted.
Instead of her elitist comments about Alex's shoes why didn't she simply diffuse the situation? She is very accomplished and it would have been easier than the backbiting.
I personally don't party hard the way Ramonja do, but am unsure why everyone feels so judgmental about it. These women let loose on vacation. If no one is violating marriage vows or being a buzz-kill for others, then what is the problem?
It wasn't so much "rattling off her resume" as many appear to have taken her comments. Rather it was her way of saying 'I am an intelligent woman.
I don't need you to interpet what I see and hear; I'm very capable of forming my own opinions'.As far as the trash comment, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck - then it's a duck
You are spot on! Why does Luanne get a free pass when she was as much a part of the discussion as Ramona or Sonja - and none of it was anything to be upset over at that! Clearly Luanne instigated the whole fiasco and threw the others under the bus but Aviva should have known that, she has seen Luanne try to turn everyone else against Ramona all season and was fully aware of Luanne's anti-Ramona agenda. She wanted to fight with Ramona & Sonja, she wanted to be mad at them. She's a stewer, she can't let anything go, she's been mad at them both since Florida and also for not coming to her charity. She was looking for an opportunity to have it out with them, and to do it on camera, she was planning to do this before she even got there - she kept making reference to how rude they were to her and Reid when they arrived. Well, they were not rude to her or Reid, they were welcoming and told her they were happy she was there, they thanked Reid for bringing her.
SHE was rude, and the epitome of "White Trash" to use her own crude words to go into someone else's vacation home and cause such a scene! And then wouldn't let it go, had to keep it going for 2 days and nights and keep everyone else involved. But the comments about Ramona & Sonja "partying" and bringing home strange men were over the top. They are adults and they are on vacation! They can party if they want to! Aviva wasn't there so again, who is she getting her information from? My bet is Luanne, why all the attitude about Sonja bringing home a guy but nothing about Luanne? Not that it matters, but Luanne did it first and Luanne is also engaged and trying to get pregnant, Sonja is completely single and if she was to screw a cute frenchman - that's her prerogative. In any case, Aviva is certainly judgemental of behavior she did not even see first hand.
@TheDishisGood I suspect the producers. Aviva was definitely on the edge and ready to pounce when she asked if Ramona had any negative things to say about Reid being there. Reid and Aviva's plane landed in daylight, but it was completely dark when they arrived at the house, which Alex McCord says is just 15 minutes away. So with the gap in between, there was plenty of time for the producers to give Aviva a big nudge.
She says she is sorry,,but then she says However, or but,,which means she still feels justified in saying all the things she said. I hate a half "I'm sorry.
I think Carole and Heather would be better off without Aviva too. If I was Carole I would be horrified at someone causing such drama at my vacation home and making all of my other guests miserable.
I don't think she's a role model for anyone. People who behave like she does and expects her phobias to be the main focus for anyone who wants to be her friend only makes other people with anxiety and phobias look bad.
AshleyNewOrleans: I couldn't agree with you more! Her expectations were insane tonight. Demanding that they thank Reid was fine, but demanding that they throw their arms around him and roll out the red carpet was crazy! Nobody's ever going to treat Reid the way that Aviva doesn, because Reid is not their husband. That you line of thinking was strange. I also hated the awkward and awful position that she put Carol in with the Me or them demand. Now THAT'S rude! Carol had nothing to do with Reid conversation!
@jhazm It was a girl's trip. If Aviva's phobias kept her from participating thn she should have stayed at home. Period
@Diniva @Butterfly413 Good observation! She's definitely in the uber upper class, a fan of Rush and likely a Romney supporter.
@maderma True. But Luann didn't wait until the show was going to air to tell Aviva about the conversation. She told Aviva when she arrived. For me that shows that Luann can't be trusted, she will out you behind your back.

Comments about Radio Flyer Trav-ler Wagon:
First, you had exactly the product I wanted. Numerous other sellers tried to convince me that what I wanted was no longer available. You had exactly what we had in mind, and in stock.
The cost to get exactly what i wanted was $10 LESS than the products others tried to make me accept as the "only available alternative" - and I got free shipping!
I was not supposed to be there to see the gift arrive, nor was the gift, according to the tracking information, supposed to arrive in time for my grandson's birthday. However, 10 minutes before the party was to start, the Fed Ex truck pulled into the driveway. And the product was in perfect condition.
Thanks for understanding that when a Grandma wants a particular gift, she'll work until she finds that. Appreciate the quality of selection, srvice and product - the fair pricing is just another bonus.

Purchased for our 1st grandchild, this Radio Flyer is the same high quality as the one purchased for our son over 30 years ago! Beautiful paint job. Love the wooden railings...they provide stability and safety for the rider(s). The only 'con' was the overwhelming smell of the rubber wheels. Thankfully the odor went away after a few days.

The wagon arrived very quickly and in perfect condition, allowing plenty of time for assembly before Christmas.

If your teeth could talk... You've just noticed a crooked tooth. Was that there before? And come to think of it, your gums are feeling a bit sore. Oh well, it's probably nothing. At least, that's what you tell yourself.
Unfortunately, these seemingly small problems could be your mouth's silent cries for help. From yellow stains to sore gums, experts break down the most common dental complaints--and reveal what they mean.
Bleeding, red, or swollen gums This could be an irritating side effect of pregnancy or other hormonal changes, says Pia Lieb, MD, DDS, a New York-based cosmetic dentist. It could also be caused by bacterial buildup. If the symptoms pop up for a day or two, but diligent brushing and flossing seem to remedy things, it's nothing to worry about, she says.
But if your gum problems persist for more than a week, it could be another sign of periodontal disease (or one of these 9 Weird Reasons Your Gums are Bleeding), Dr. Lieb says. Schedule a trip to the dentist ASAP.
Sharp tooth pain If you experience a sudden pain in one or more of your teeth when biting down, you may have tooth decay or cavities, says Sally Cram, DDS, a Washington DC-based periodontist. "There's a particular type of bacteria that takes sugar from your diet and coverts it into acid, which causes tooth decay, or holes in your teeth," Dr. Cram explains. And when those holes get deep, that causes sensitivity and, eventually, cavities.
If the pain occurs only once in a while, and isn't confined to single spot, it's probably nothing to worry about, Dr. Cram says. But if it's consistent--meaning it recurs for a week or more--you should pay your dentist a visit.
Sores in your mouth Though painful, sores or soreness are often the result of eating too much citrus, spicy fare, or scalding hot foods, Dr. Worth explains. If the pain disappears after two or three days, you're probably fine.
But if the sores linger, that could be a sign of a serious vitamin A deficiency, Dr. Cram says. Vitamin A is important for collagen and connective tissues, which is basically what your tongue's made of, she says. Start eating more sweet potatoes, spinach, and carrots--all good vitamin A sources--and see your dentist if things don't improve.

Achy tooth pain A throbbing or achy pain may be nothing if it only last a day or two, says Sherri Worth, DDS, a reconstructive dentist in Newport Beach, California. But pain that lasts for more than a week may be a sign you're grinding or clenching your teeth. If that's the case, Dr. Worth says you might benefit from a night guard (or a less frustrating job!).
Persistent pain accompanied by swollen gums or glands could also be caused by an abscessed tooth-a.k.a. a tooth with a root infection, adds Dr. Worth. Only your dentist can tell for sure.
Yellow or stained teeth You can breathe easy on this one: Stained or yellow teeth are almost never a sign of serious dental concerns, says Dr. Worth. "These stains develop from drinking coffee, tea, wine, or other dark or staining liquids." Whitening toothpastes, strips, or a trip to your dentist can solve the problem. (Here's what to look for in a whitening toothpaste.) "It's also a good idea to rinse or brush your teeth after consuming these liquids to prevent staining in the first place," she adds.
If the stains are brown or stripe-y, on the other hand, this could be the result of tetracycline antibiotics you were administered as a child, or from other medications, Dr. Cram adds. "It doesn't mean the teeth are damaged, but your dentist can take cosmetic steps to remove those stains."
Loose or suddenly crooked teeth If your teeth feel loose, become crooked, or fall out altogether, you probably don't need a dentist to tell you there's a big problem. "This is typically the result of periodontal disease," which causes bone loss around your teeth and jaw, Dr. Cram says.
If you're not cleaning your teeth properly (that means brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and getting cleanings from your dentist twice a year), bacteria on your teeth will form a thin film called plaque, Dr. Cram says. Continue your poor dental habits, and that plaque will eventually harden into tartar, which can spread into your gums and, eventually, the bones around your mouth. See a dentist immediately regarding any loose or newly crooked teeth.
Gum pain If your gums or the sides of your teeth hurt when you breathe in cold air, or drink hot or cold liquids, it could be a cavity, Dr. Cram says. It could also mean your gums have drawn back, exposing the roots of your teeth, she adds. This can occur because of bacteria, clenching or grinding your teeth, or brushing too forcefully with a hard-bristled toothbrush.
If red or white spots appear with the pain, however, they could be relatively harmless irritations caused by certain foods, drugs, or even improperly fitted dentures or mouthguards, Dr. Cram says. In some cases, they could also be signs of oral cancer. If the spots linger for more than a week, have you dentist check them out, she advises.
