  1. The plaintiff on today's repeat was named Queen Bobo. I personally think that's an awesome name but I wonder if she was teased as a kid about it. There have been a few women named Queen that have shown up on Say Yes to the Dress so maybe it's not as uncommon a name as I would suppose but couple it with Bobo and it becomes even more distinctive. She ended up being awarded $1,600 because her ex - boyfriend "stole" her car and she couldn't come up with the $200.00 to get it out of impound after the police recovered it. Judge Backman didn't want to give her anything because she bought the 1999 Explorer with student loan money. Judge Backman said it would be unjust enrichment because taxpayers will be on the hook for the student loans which may be the case even though student loans will follow you to the grave.

  2. I hated the piece that won the 1st round. To me it looked like Rudolph had been harvested and taxidermed. I thought it would have been more appropriate to a Halloween challenge.

    I did like the children, the Santa, and the Christmas tree in the winning piece because those did draw you in and did convey a story but I liked WW's work better overall and I just adored Damien.

    Derek's Abortion Rants

    Of course if you are female it is not YOUR body. Your body belongs to your headship. First your father until her transfers you to another male for whom you will always be joyfully available. Creeps. I did notice that comment from Derek about child molesters being "pure evil." I agree 100% but that sentiment must not go over well at Duggar family gatherings.

    I am on the fence about them being married. Wearing rings don't mean a thing. Plenty of cohabitants wear rings. I don't feel like looking, but if Indianapolis is a community property state or if they married in another state such as New York (as is mentioned in the Q&A) and it is community property, that would make Matt responsible for Amber's debts.

    Indiana is not a community property state. It is an "equitable distribution" state.

  5. There are absolutely gorgeous houses for sale in Anderson, Indiana in beautiful neighborhoods where most people would love to live. Maybe they have a weak rental market though. I thought Amber's getup was ridiculous. She was all "me, me, me) without once giving an ounce of consideration about what would be best for Leah, just like when she chose a house so far away from her daughter.

  6. Caleb was creepy and inappropriate with Amber during his BB Season but even when he was coming across as scarily unhinged there was a likability underneath it all even if my spouse and I joked during the 1st episode of this season's Survivor that Caleb left Amber chained in the basement of his log cabin and we hoped he left her enough slack to reach the bucket. This made Tai's inappropriateness seem a little bit like what comes around goes around. I would still like to see Tai and Caleb on TAR, especially if they raced through Vietnam.
     

     

    Otherwise, I don't understand why Caleb is referring to this challenge as an immunity challenge

  7. My first grade teacher at Our Lady of Lourdes in 1969 was Mrs. Riney and she was awful. Scrawny, redheaded with cat's-eye glasses. An absolute harridan. She would berate children. I will never forget how she chased Joy Alexander around the classroom, blocking her escape as Joy tried to climb out a window. Then there was a boy named Victor and she would join in as other children would chant, to the tune of an old Libby's commercial, "If it says Victor Victor Victor on the label, label, label/You will vomit vomit vomit on the table, table, table." and I remember  how he would hang his head, and his face would get red and if he cried it would be even worse. I was singled out once, over a math problem I didn't understand, division perhaps, and I said another student had told me that's how it was done and she stood over me just screaming, "If someone told you to jump off a bridge would you jump? Are you that stupid?" and every day after school my mother would ask, "Well, did y'all get beat?" Totally normalizing this behavior which was apparently accepted at this school because a 5th grade (male) teacher actually got fired after breaking a yardstick over a kid's head & cutting the kid's eye. I don't think hospitals were mandated reporters at the time but the fact that the kid ended up in the emergency room and almost lost an eye I think made a difference. Mrs. Riney actually produced a Priest from her loins, Father Maury Riney, so she gets an automatic ticket to heaven but I think if I had a better, less psycho, teacher I would have scored higher than the bottom 2% in math when I took the GRE.

    That's the issue. Lucifer is absolute evil. Basically, Hitler. There's no complexity there. No bad childhood. That's the point of pure evil

     

    ."

     

    But Lucifer was once God's favorite and when he was cast out about a third of the Angels went with him. Even after Lucifer was cast out he was still close enough to God that they could hang out together making wagers (Job). I am hoping this series will be a little like Brimstone where John Glover played such an exceptional Lucifer, and the gone before its time New Amsterdam.

  9. I just say the swaddling photos in an article posted on Yahoo (and read all the leghumper's comments *shudder*), They also posted a photo of Izzy sitting on a blanket with what looks like a bruised eye. Looks to me the sort of thing a baby who is trying to pull themselves up would get if they fell and got the corner of a table. In the background is an electrical outlet with no safety cover. My younger brother could not resist sticking hairpins in electrical outlets when he was just a little older than Izzy.

  10. With the stories being leaked about Josh probably not being home for Christmas, it made me wonder, shouldn't this "rehab" involve counseling that involves his wife? Shouldn't Josh and Anna be in marriage counseling if Anna seriously wants to save the marriage? Of course their form of marriage counseling would probably be to tell Anna to be a better wife to Josh. Be more sexually adventurous and available and whatnot.

  11. "Tammy Faye did the mascara smudging thing for a while, but eventually divorced Jim B.  Her second husband ended up in jail too,"

     

    "I think being gay is just being a person who has a different thought on life. They're just people. I don't think that God categorizes people." - Tammy Faye Bakker Messner. She later became very Gay positive and had a talk show with Jim J. Bullock. She also developed a genuine friendship with porn person Ron Jeremy after the co-starred in The Surreal Life. Tammy Faye was just 19 when she married her own Jim Boob. They met at a Bible College. I can only hope that Jim J. Bullock and Ron Jeremy team up to save Anna

     

    "For years I have been pretending that everything is all right, when in fact I hurt all the time...I cannot pretend anymore" from Tammy Faye's letter to the New Covenant Church after she filed for divorce from Jim Bakker who had been sentenced to 45 years in prison (he served 5 years).

  12. Doesn't Texas allow open beverage containers while driving?

     

     

    I met people who moved to Kentucky and are dumbfounded that they have drive-through liquor stores but when I was a kid a person could by a mixed drink through the liquor store drive-through. They don't do that anymore (as far as I know) but they will still throw in some Bazooka Joe bubble gum if there are kids in the car just to show that they are a family friendly liquor store.

  13. My Great Aunt used to sing You Are My Sunshine and I thought it was a horribly sad song, maybe because my aunt added a new refrain, repeating the first verse at the end but with "hang my head and die" instead of "cry" so as a little kid I thought the person had killed themselves by hanging.
