Good friend, also like youre the reason why you give me all problems. That movie was brilliant. Postcard from the edge, about her struggles as a mom living in very famous mom actress played by who was it . Shirley mcclane was the mom. And meryl streep was the daughter in that movie. And Debbie Reynolds, just reading a article where she said, now, they did embellish in the movie, it wasnt totally true, about the way we live. But it was inspired certainly by true events of their life. To put it all out there, that honesty that Carrie Fisher had. And debbie herself, she had three husbands, three disastrous marriages, able to be very self deposition dating and laugh about it when she would do interviews later on. The first one left for elizabeth taylor. Other two basically brought her to financial ruin.

Actually in the earl at this thousands, we started watching these movies on the disney channel, my daughter and i, halloween town movies, Debbie Reynolds was in those movies. She played the grandmom. Then ended up being a series of movies, thats how my daughter knows Debbie Reynolds, we know singing in the rain. So sorry but people think about will and grace. They may not know who Debbie Reynolds; but from will and grace, she was graces mom on that show for about eight years. Huge hit show. I would say i was thinking about this earlier, if you want to watch Debbie Reynolds movies, singing in the rain, you have to see that mill. Unsingable molly brown. I had forgotten she was the sinking nun. Remember that that song . She place the si in. Ging nun. And i loved that message. Together, singing in the rain. Carrie fisher and Debbie Reynolds.

This is the time when you look and you see the great that people pose, what people say, and then look at the negative comment, stuff like, that none of that matters in the end. Nope. You know . You truly dont know the heart after person and where they come from. And debbie, i think, was example that far when you met her and the stories we are hear on social media. She lost several fortunes, but stayed close to her kids, all that matters in the end. Unthinkable molly brown. Thats her autobiography, by the way, yes, there is something you can read about Debbie Reynolds. Molly brown from the titanic . The one who couldnt sink on the titanic. That lived to survive. Thats right. Lets lift things up. Knowing her spirit, her personality, thats how she was, she had her casino out there. If you ever have been to the shows at the Debbie Reynolds casino, it was quite the show. So lets talk about we mention margo robby. Yes, we tease in the earlier. So she invites people to her wedding. What does she do at this wedding . To give to her guests . She whips out the tatoo gun of course. What . You want your bride to be giving awe tatoo needle, for real. There are the pictures, no joke. So, several of the guests who attended her wedding, she is getting married, on the 19th, now showing the photos of the event. And, what they have right there. You can see it, the roman numerals for 19. X1 00. Nineteen. They got ink on their forearms. Would you do that for a friend, seriously, would you get a tatoo for a friend, their wedding day . I would put it in a place that hopefully you cant see it . You know, not to be cynical, but how do we know it will last . And then if it doesnt youve got it forever . Never forget, right . Remember the anniversary. One thing to put it on your own body, or your own anniversary. Right. But someone elses . Hey . They didnt have a book. You can go through, choose your own. I dont have any tattoos, im not a tatoo person, but i know it is a personal choice. Do you have any tattoos . I do. I didnt notice. Where . On the back, ya. What is it . It is a symbol. Tramp stamp . No. I didnt say lower back. I was young. It is a symbol right mere on the back, and it is a symbol that means god is the highest. Is it a chain east symbol . No, it is an african symbol. And ill show it, yes, im gooing tell maybe during the commercial break and show you the symbol. Yes, it is a very simple i know exactly what it is. Kind of like this . Okay. Imagine that on my back. It just means it is african, god is the high. Thats something you dont mind having on your body for the rest of your life, you know that will last. And had the tramp stamp removed. No longer. No tattoos . No. Billy . No. How about nia . No. Traumatic enough to get her ears pierced. If she came to you and said i want to get a tatoo, would you mind . She is 18. I dont have anything to say about it. Of course would you. Of course i would. laughing . Well it, depend, you know, like if it is something that, you know, you dont mind having on your body. Like a symbol of your life . Yes. And it would age well with you, because do you have think about that. It stretches. Small little tatoo that you get . Ends up becoming, ya. You wouldnt get billy forever. I have no desire to get a tatoo. It is okay if i live the rest of my life without one. I was thinking about getting one so she would think it wasnt cool on account of her mom had one. But i didnt need to do. That will dont like needles. Some people get tattoos to form that bond, make relationships stronger. Uhhuh. Others, they spends time apart. So what do you think the seek receipt is for your relationship . Is it more time together or more time apart . Well, there is some research out there. Actually mat now be bad to shall spending some time after of apart. Here is what some relationship experts are saying. It is the balance. It shouldnt be any surprise. It is all of life is about trying to balance stuff. Than is between time together. Which you need. But you also do need your time alone. Both of you need a chance to explore separate interests, and every couple is different, so there is real now right or wrong answer here the bottom line is expert say relationships are healthier when you figure out what works best for the two of you. Isnt this a duh . Time apart. A lot of people dont like Long Distance relationships. Love it. Love it. At the end. Day where you can kind of have your space, now i dont, if you can spend time together, wonderful. But sometimes you need that moment to just separate. I think even when youre in a relationship, even married, sometimes have that girls weaken, sometimes the guys can go away. Doesnt mean youre doing anything, but just to hit the reset button. Without a doubt. And then whether you do get back together, it is an occasion, and it is an event. You have things to share with each other about what you did, while were you apart. I totally agree with you. I think that when you have kids, it is a challenge to spend that alone time together. Because youre all so focused on the kids, you can speak to that, as well. But so thats where you really got to strike that balance. Youre doing so much for the children. Puts strain ton the relationship, wife goes to the husband, i want little time with the girls, or the guys, then the person they get upset. If i want to go out to an event, i always say yes. If you have a person that says no, holds you back from the joy . I agree. But what we need to zero is to have more time together without the kids,. Because your kids are small. Yes. Then trust me, when your nest is empty, it will be a loft time together. Then staring at each other. Oh, ya, i remember you. Whats on netflix . I love that one. Speaking of kids we have a winner.
