Paparazzi vultures descend upon Amanda Bynes...and the masses join in.

Looks like Amanda Bynes has returned to tabloid fodder!

Sources are reporting that Amanda Bynes has been acting erratically and wearing a band aid on her face. Once more, she has been seen talking to herself and also talking to trees (sometimes you need to talk to yourself in order to get expert advice, and what is wrong with talking to trees? They are an oxygen source).
Yesterday, news broke that Amanda Bynes revealed that she was engaged to a 19 year old bait shop worker.

Ever since Bynes' DUI arrest last month, the paparazzi has been all over Bynes like vultures on roadkill.
The one thing that has not been working in Bynes' favor are the rather disturbing interviews that she has given in recent days.

Here are some of the quotes that she has given:
"I am very needy for friendship and I hate men. I want to fuck them, but I can now say I’m engaged — get away from me. I want to be married and I want to be away from people."
"I don't like the way I look in a car. The lighting is very bad." <-- This was her reason as to why she is giving up driving.
As for her upcoming nuptials, the fashion student wants to design her own wedding dress:
"I'm so particular about how I look that I cannot imagine not designing it."

It seemed as if Amanda Bynes was on a good road. She completed rehab, enrolled into fashion school, and she was staying out of the public eye. Something must have triggered this latest series of events.
Those of us who know our shit about addiction and recovery know that it is a life-long journey to becoming healthy.
Yes, she is battling some emotional issues, but these issues don't just disappear, especially if her issues are the result of a chemical imbalance in the brain. It is a long and arduous process.
People in recovery do stumble, but they shouldn't be picked apart like roadkill.

When I see stories about Bynes, I see a young lady in trouble. Surely, she is in some denial as to the severity of her issues, but she shouldn't be criticized. 

What do you think about Amanda Bynes' recent troubles?

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed.
