Trouble is, it seems to be happening more and more. As for the Netflix series, my guess is you will find her accent extremely irritating but then the real Anna's accent is irritating also. I guess it was like watching a train wreck!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-29009171468378491052022-03-20T19:26:44.154+00:002022-03-20T19:26:44.154+00:00Yes, having a party is a great excuse for having a...Yes, having a party is a great excuse for having a good old sort out and purge. As I get older I need less, I want less. I don't have time for unnecessary stuff. I'm sorry to hear of the passing of a friend of yours. I find as I get older this news comes too often. I have added the series to my Netflix list.

I think she only did three years in prison in the US because they got her off the biggest charges, but after she was released she was rearrested for overstaying her visa so as far as I know she's still incarcerated!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-4604762524676125702022-03-15T15:40:26.690+00:002022-03-15T15:40:26.690+00:00A big party sounds like an excellent motivation to...A big party sounds like an excellent motivation to purge :)<br />I had not heard of this Anna Sorokin either.

It still beats me how they get away with it but then I suppose in theory we can all be taken in, can't we. As for my friend, we kept in touch on occasion but of course it trails off when you don't live on the same continent. And I think most of us will have fond memories of her as she was well liked!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-68393123306249985122022-03-15T13:39:23.937+00:002022-03-15T13:39:23.937+00:00Just saw a little news thing about Anna Sorokin an...Just saw a little news thing about Anna Sorokin and thought, "Who the hell is she?" I guess she would gladly have told me. All lies but interesting. <br />Fifty people? That's a lot of people. And yes, you and I are on the same page about getting rid of THINGS! It is definitely time for me. <br />Isn't it odd and sad when we hear of someone we used to be close to who has died? We just go on thinking of them out there in the world, somewhere, until we hear that no, they are not. I'm sorry your friend is gone. Cherish your memories!

Then I lost my dad when he he was just 54 and that was quiet a shock. Yes, do not curate things that you don't care for. Just a waste of space and waste of your precious time to keep their area clean and tidy. My birthday is June 6th and since I lost mom on that very day, can I come over and share Jordan's Bday? I kinda don't like mine anymore. Promise to wash your windows after the party.

It's so depressing. My hubby thinks bojo started this war lol. He says what an excellent way to divert our attention from partygate!!<br />Sorry to hear of your friend. It makes you think about your mortality when friends die doesn't it. Talking of which I've been feeling like you in that I'm getting rid of stuff too. We finally finished our decorating and I really don't want to put all the stuff back in the room that was there before. I don't want it quite as empty as it is just now but I'm going to think long and hard about what goes back and if it doesn't go back it's going out! xMarksgranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02870471905590321642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-64036869315909401422022-03-15T08:16:55.335+00:002022-03-15T08:16:55.335+00:00Oh damn, and here was me thinking "don't ...Oh damn, and here was me thinking "don't fret it, Anne will chime in about how she would do this and that and you'll see how easy it will be"!
