Listen to the newest Satellite Sisters show here.
Is it just us or are you also trying some new things in the new year? Monica, Sheila and Liz each have a tale of a personal experiment that could have gone horribly wrong. But so far, so good.
Lian, on the other hand, did actually lose her mind. Hear her tale of tears, desperation and fro-yo.
But be warned. It’s ugly.

Y'all should have leveled with us.
Dear Paula,
I believe you are having your Kim Kardashian Moment. You know Kim…celebrity with a huge following who made the move to divorce her husband 72 days after her multi-million dollar wedding, Her fans could not go there with her. It was too unbelievable…fairytale wedding one day, divorce 72 days later. Her fans concluded it was all about the money. Paula, your decision to keep peddling Fried Macaroni and Cheese and Gooey Butter Cake for three years after your doctor told you you had Type 2 diabetes and only now share the news with your fans as a paid pitchwoman for a diabetes drug. Well Paula, this fan cannot go there with you.
We loved having you on Satellite Sisters and I enjoy your cooking show. Your love of food and how you shared it with your family and friends was fun to watch. While I never really tried to replicate your recipes at home, I enjoyed watching you make all that buttery, creamy stuff. I also have great admiration for all of the obstacles that you have overcome in your life that you vividly described in your book, It Ain’t All About the Cooking. I can also understand when you told Al Roker on The Today Show that when you received the diabetes diagnosis you had to take some time “to wrap your head around it”. But three years? I also imagine that you have the responsibility of employing many people who work on your shows, books, speaking engagements, endorsements, etc. I am sure the thought of altering your southern cooking empire might have been daunting but you could have made such a difference if you had lead your fans to healthier foods. I really wish you had because I know someone who would have loved to watch and learn how to live with Type 2 diabetes.
Our mother is a Type 2 diabetic and she works everyday to control her insulin through diet and exercise. When she got the diagnosis, she was shocked but she dealt with it. She went to class , read books, and tried to learn as much as she could about how her condition. Sadly, she like so many others who have type 2 diabetes would really have enjoyed watching you as you learned how to “wrap your head around the situation”.
Paula, I wish you good health.
Sincerely, Julie
ps I was so bummed about Paula that I cheered myself up with a Classic Satellite Sisters To Go. A random selection but I think you will enjoy hearing Liz and Lian in a segment called, We Are Not Going to Take It Anymore. Listen here.

Meanwhile, that cruise ship thing in Italy has us all a little freaked out.
What's the word in Italian for "no way you'd ever get us on a cruise ship now"?
Who knew those things happened any more? Liz recommends some upcoming Titanic specials on the National Geographic Channel if you have ANY desire left to get on one of those big boats.
Julie has a new business idea that makes a lot of sense: Apple meets Chicos. You are just going to have to listen to understand.
Monica has some suspicions about a guy that came to her door to do some election canvassing. We don’t blame her. But she’s definitely on board with pet resolutions even if she draws the line at walking cats on a leash. And if you haven’t checked out Portlandia on IFC, you gotta do it! At least check Portlandia’s Allergy Pride Parade on YouTube.
