    Can I ask if you went to each individual site that was doing appointments? I

    I got my appointment through Hackensack Meridian’s hospital website. They have several hospitals in their system and have just opened the mega site at the Meadowlands. 

    65+ https://www.hackensackmeridianhealth.org/covid19/covid19-vaccination-scheduling-for-65-or-older/

    16-64 with underlying health issues  https://www.hackensackmeridianhealth.org/covid19/covid19-vaccination-scheduling-for-16-64-with-underlying-health-condition/

    even though it says no appointments available, time slots open up randomly so keep hitting refresh 

    good luck!

    I'm jealous of you vaccine recipients - NJ here, I'll be 74 Feb 5th - can't get an appointment anywhere.   People are jumping the line.   If you smoke you are in the same group I'm in.  Staying home for sure.

     

    I’m 70 and got my appointment at 1:00 AM the day after Governor Murphy lowered the age to 65+. I was registered but no way was I waiting to be invited! People have the best luck checking throughout the day and late at night and refresh, refresh, refresh. 

    Just wanted to come back and say an elderly friend had to go to the ER today for a painful foot problem that turned out to be cellulitis. She never said anything about the vaccine, and was surprised to see they had given her an appointment on her discharge papers for the first shot.

    Where is tonight’s thread?  Under what heading please.  Did the post it yet or no?

    Yes, it's "Unsure and Insecure" and it was started yesterday by our lovely Persnickety

    You can't make someone weight, they have to want to lose weight, and commit to the process, and commit to maintaining the weight loss.    Just as with mental health therapy, no desire to change means the person won't be helped. 

    Well, that describes Cindy to a "T"

  5. I recently saw a repeat of an old TLC program about a morbidly obese woman that wasn’t part of the 600 pound franchise. I think the woman might have been in New Orleans and it was a different doctor. At the end the woman suffered some kind of medical issue and passed away. Anyway, part of this woman’s treatment was having the appropriate meals delivered to her every day (kind of like Nutri-System but I think these were arranged by the doctor. In fact, sometimes he delivered them himself when he made a home visit.) I wonder why Dr. Now doesn’t do something like that to ensure his patients get the correct proportion of  1200 calories they need to lose weight. Now, I'm sure many would cheat and eat additional food but at least they could see what they need to eat on his weight loss program

  6. Watching Natalie and Mike eating dinner again, I can’t believe how unappetizing that meal looked. Limp boiled veggies and shrimp! With her high IQ, Natalie should know that’s one of the least nutritious ways to prepare food. Mike’s mistake was saying the words “stir fry”, had he known her reaction he would have been better off making up a term for the cooking method that wouldn’t have set her off and they could have had a very tasty and healthy dinner. High fives all around!

    What am I doing wrong? I only get the first segment of the preview, and then the rest is a preview for the grown-up Toddlers and Tiaras show.

     

    You didn’t do anything wrong. That was a surprise to all of us, kind of like back in school when the entire class got punished for the behavior of a few

  8. I’m watching the repeat of the episode and noticed two things I haven’t seen before:

    1) Dr. Now actually using his blinged out stethoscope to listen to Carrie’s heart 

    2) Dr. Now handed her a glossy book with what looked like his picture on that back. Has he written a book including his 1200 calorie diet? Can I get it at Amazon? 

    I’m always after my husband because he tends to put a lot of food on his fork. When Carrie was shoveling enormous bites of food into her mouth, I was able to show him how gross it looks

    We may have been asked when driving into Canada where we were going and for how long, but I don't recall the Canadian border guys asking if we had anything of value to declare.  I could be wrong.  I'm old and I forget stuff.

    I remember being asked if I was carrying more than $10K (I think that was the amount) in cash when entering Canada.

    I just checked and you only have to declare at Belize Customs if you are bringing in more than $10K or its equivalent in Belizean Dollars so I guess Stephanie can bring all the crap she wants. However a travel site said jewelry and fancy watches would attract thieves so I’m sure Ryan will claim the ones she’s already sent were stolen.

    Plus the fact she buys this dude all these watches.  Who wears that many different watches?!?!? 

    Isn’t there some kind of limit at Customs for the value of gifts you’re bringing into a foreign country? I don’t believe those ugly watches were worth what Stephanie claimed because she casually tossed them into her checked luggage. And of course Ryan is selling them! I’m positive we are going to see a scene where he claims to have lost the ones she sent before. And how convenient for him that she’s supplying her own ring!

  11. Just watching to Bonus Scene with Hazel, Tarik and Auri waking up in bed together. Hazel is complaining, and rightly so IMO, that she and Tarik have no privacy and why does Auri have to share their bed. So Tarik takes her to this messy bedroom with a mattress on the floor which is where Auri could sleep and Hazel discusses fixing it up “pretty” for her. Tarik says, with Auri within earshot, he isn’t sure if he wants Auri to sleep in another room then he asks her, “Do you want to sleep here?” Big surprise when Auri gives him an emphatic NO!

    Sandy did get a potty chair for Cindy, but it either wasn't strong enough to hold her, or wide enough to fit her.  

     

    Despite knowing how enormous Cindy was, Sandy probably just picked up an average size potty chair at a yard sale or something just to be able to truthfully say she had gotten one. Cindy would obviously require an industrial strength “double wide.”

    Didn't she say that they became friends because Sandy was her caregiver before she moved? Hmm...

    Yes, Sandy was her caregiver for four years before Sandy moved to Houston. I couldn’t get over how Sandy pushed the idea of her coming there to be Dr. Now’s patient. “But where would I stay?” Of course she’d stay at Sandy’s. Sandy made all the arrangements and was pretty relentless in her arguments that it was what Cindy needed to do although Cindy repeatedly expressed no desire to be in the program. Even when the ambulance was waiting at the door, Sandy continued to hound a reluctant Cindy to go. The camera crew was filming and there would be no more episodes if Cindy backed out now. (Okay, Cindy couldn’t really back out of anything, I mean it figuratively) 

    I'm convinced Sandy was just doing it for the caretaker and TLC money for her family, to get on TV, and like a poster said above, she thought she would look like a hero.

     If he wants a beer when he comes home, that’s his business.

    I wonder if his refusal to kiss her was because he had already stopped off for a drink on the way home

    Total waste of time, money and effort in Cindy's case.  Plus the millions of hours invested wasted by those of us who watched this episode.

    Let’s start a class action suit against TLC. Our time has got to be worth something, not to mention the billions of brain cells we lost

    I thought it was funny at the start of the episode that the caregiver made Cindy a home-cooked 'pre-breakfast' (eggs, bacon and fries) first thing. When she brought it out, I was amazed at how normal the size of the meal was

    That was just a little amuse bouche

  17. @nutella fitzgerald, please don’t let this episode discourage you from watching this franchise. Cindy was probably the most boring poundticipant (as they are called here) EVER! We didn’t see the usual horrifying scenes of her shoving enormous amounts of food in her mouth or the arduous journey to get to Dr. Now’s, nor the drama of whether or not she would lose the weight necessary to be approved for weight loss surgery. She said from the beginning she didn’t want to go. It was two long hours of her in bed, whining about how hard she was working while in reality doing absolutely nothing.

  18. Look at this ad that just showed up on this forum. Too bad I didn’t see it in time for today’s festivities
