<p>What do you think? I don’t mean the glamourous suburbs, great clothes and jewels or perfect figures. I mean all that ‘stuff’ going on. Sometimes I think, no life is NOT like that, no obvious planned murders or anything like that of course. Othertimes I think, yep, it’s that bad out there, what am I, some kind of naive little twerp. What’s you take on the ladies?</p>
<p>p.s.no more threads by me after this one. that’s it.</p>
<p>Yes, I do beleive that life is really like Desparate Housewives not so much of the goings on happening on wisteria lane but from the perspective of everything may not be in reality as it seems to be to the neighbors. </p>
<p>On the surface these are all great women, with nice homes, “good husbands” and living the life that many would be envious of. But behind closed doors . You never knov someone’s situation until you are in it and you never really know how someone is living until they’re dead.</p>
<p>BHG, come on over to sinners alley and have a cyber drink on me, you had a rough day :)</p>
<p>The first time I watched “desperate” was a couple weeks ago. From what I had heard about it- it didn’t sound like something that would interest me- but I found it wasn’t as controversial or as “sexy” as its PR
THe episode I saw wasn’t written that well, but it had a teen feeling like he was locked out of his moms house, going to his dads, being turned away there and going out drinking before he begged his mom to let him back in.
That I think was believeable- that he hit someone was also beleiveable, but I don’t know how believeable it was that her daughter in law then was controlled enough to take the camera with incriminating pictures out of her mother inlaws pocket before she got help.
But then again my own mother didnt call for an aid unit when my father was dying becuase she wanted to “punish him”, so I agree it is probably pretty true- nobody has an easy life and money especially doesn’t protect you.</p>
<p>I hope so! ;)</p>
<p>I’ve only seen it once, but I thought it was pretty funny. It reminded me of “Soap” and “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman” from college days.</p>
<p>The murders, etc. are over the top, but there are lots of problems like substance abuse and adultery in every community I’ve lived in so far.</p>
