What does "dh" and "BIL" mean?

I think it's "dear husband" and "brother in law". I abhor internet lingo.

I also have a very hard time understanding alot of these posts with all that slang/initial stuff people write.

I'm still out on Danielle's kids. .....Danielle's girls seem to have a lot of competition between them and are not very warm or kind to each other or appear to even like each other. The one moment when Christine was pushed to encourage her sister was very awkward as though being nice doesn't come easy. This is especially surprising to me since the are far apart in age. I would expect the older one to be a little more protective of the little sister. And getting on stage rudely yelling at friends to shut up isn't quite the same thing. Yes, on the outside they are clean, fed and cared for, but their emotional well-being is still unclear to me.

I agree.


Those two girls are going to bust out of their 'we are so sweet and innocent' shell one day. Especially Jillian, I can't really recall seeing her look anything but sad and I really think that she will rebel one day. Maybe not in the same way Ashely is but I do think if they continue this show and we see them growing more we will one talk about what a brat/disrespectful/selfish child Jillian is.

i got an infraction for using "abt" which i think is a normal abbreviation, so i don't get how these kinds of abbreviations are ok.

me too. i don't think her kids are as great and perfect as everyone else seems to think.

I agree.

I must really be out of it...I don't know what "abt" is either...maybe this is because I am really not a person who does much "texting" on my phone...I really don't have any patience to text...I'd rather e-mail someone or just talk to them.

DH is dear husband, and BIL is brother-in-law

Thanks dustypants for defining my abbrevations. Sorry to my fellow posters for including them in my last post; I'll avoid using them on this site in the future.

The overpriced junk in Teresa and Joe's overpriced house will be sold off on 08.22. Wonder what the sale date is for the house?

Filming at Teresa's house reveals empty rooms & a distinct echo. Given the auction list, Teresa & Joe must have purchased a lot of furniture since filing bankruptcy last fall. Again, how did they open a pizzeria, laundromat, & apartment building & continue to purchase goods if bankrupt? They epitomize the sense of entitlement that's become common in our society. Also, looks like her bankruptcy attorney wrote her blog this week.

Why would Jacqueline & Chris, who portrayed themselves as concerned parents on the show, allow Ashley to blog (non-stop about Danielle) as a cast member? It doesn't seem healthy for her to continue her 5 seconds of infamy & admitted mission to convince others to also hate Danielle; it appears she's being rewarded for poor behavior/decisions. If she didn't know Danielle well (as Jacqueline claims, in dispute of Danielle's depiction of their relationship), then how/why does she have such dislike/hatred for her? Is Ashley currently employed, enrolled in college, &/or living outside her parents' home?

I find the adult children on this show a disgrace. They allegedly were raised/have affluent lifestyles, but haven't used their resources to better themselves/others. Wonder where the Manzo children would be without the family business or their father's connections? Independent of their parents, what skills do they have that would produce income to keep them in the lifestyle to which they're accustomed? At least they're employed & have ambitions unlike Ashley whose only adult accomplishment is simple assault! I hope Dina's, Danielle's, Teresa's, & Jacqueline's younger children take more productive paths...
