Sorry for the delay, a chatty friend called!
No Slander Here! Classic JJ where you'd think things aren't going well for the defendant because she is blowing up her stories with inconsistencies, but then, JJ turns to the plaintiff and suddenly things aren't going well for the other side and the defendant is literally beaming and nodding in approval. The plaintiff bought a second car in January, and stopped paying for her older car at the same time, which did not endear her to our favorite testy jurist. It was pretty obvious then that she had tried to unload the car on the defendant with thousands owing, and was trying to scam JJ to pay for a car that she wasn't paying for herself and had been repo'd. 4 gavels. The defendant was adorable in the hallterview.
Canine Semen: This case is about buying canine semen and associated natural turkey-basting service for the purposes of breeding dogs. The terms of the "agreement" were vague, either the stud owner agreed to "name a puppy" or just "wanted to be a doggie grandpa" or wanted half the "profits" that were declared by the bitch owner to be "zero." Woof! woof! woof! gavels.
Nasty Old Bat Gets Reamed: Ooooh if you only watch one case, watch this one. Meow, meow, meow, hiss! Vicious old lady starts out looking so sweet and calm and innocent but she showed her teeth and her claws right there in the court room, and to our everlasting delight, JJ has no mercy for the elderly or the handicapped when they misbehave. Some neighbor was slicing her wrists on her porch (a bit of attention getting I guess) and Nasty Old Bat got vexed that the plaintiff that she got to call 911 didn't make sufficient drama about it, so in a fit of anger she tossed the phone on the ground and broke it, which she later admitted to the police. When JJ got wise to what went on (the police report was hilarious and crucial to the case), she booted out NOB's 8 yr old grandchild so she wouldn't witness the reaming of her granny. What the coconut was an 8 yr old doing there??? Anyhoo NOB had called the plaintiff (to the police, no less!) a slut (a 60 yr old slut, mkay), complained about weeds in her flower beds, and opined about her financial priorities "she should pay her bills not fancy phones" JJ read some gems that the police quoted verbatim: "I don't want to give the slut money" while boasting that "money is no object" LOL. She called the cops to "amend" her previous admission while complaining that the plaintiff had hurt her arm, and she's so frail, and she needed an order of protection, wah wah wah. In a last dig in the court, demanded that JJ question the plaintiff on how many times she'd been married and how many men she'd slept with. In the hallterview, NOB insisted that she was doing the "work of the good lord." Yes, yes you were; and for that, your case gets 5 gavels. You are the answer to our prayers!
No way was that old bitty only in her 60's NO WAY!!!

Hughes Net Gen 4: "Now I don't have to travel 100 to get shoes like this"
I'm thinking that if you have to travel 100 miles from your home "to get shoes like this"
You probably don't need "shoes like this"

About the commercial or about the slang? Yes, in either case. "Happy" as in "they went out behind the barn and had a happy." I first heard it used that way in college. And from some coworkers over the years. And IIRC I heard it used that way in an episode of Buffy too, although it might have referred to an erection in that case (something about Angel turning evil if Buffy "gives him a happy.").
Now that I've thought about the ad some more, it gets even worse. Nutella seems like it derives from "nut", which would make sense since it's made from hazelnuts, and "nut" is also slang for "have an orgasm" or "testicle."
I asked 'are you serious' because I can't believe anyone would 'go there' about a food product.
Sigh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The current Nutella commercial has me scratching my head. They're pushing their product as something you would want to put on your kids' sandwiches. They finish up with the tagline "Spread the Happy!" The problem here is that every time in the past that I've encountered "happy" used as a noun, it has referred to an orgasm. So no, I won't be "Spreading the Happy" on any sandwiches in the foreseeable future.
Are you serious ?!!

I never would have guessed that, somehow in my mind I've been thinking of her as being at least partly Native American.
That's what I said.

JJ is killing me lately....one of today's reruns broke my heart all over again. Mrs. Rogers (incredibly smug) sued her son for $2000 remaining on a truck loan. After he had paid $8000 of that loan back, he found out that he was afflicted with a pituitary tumor. The tumor/treatments left him blind, and he and his wife had financial difficulties due to the medical costs (sounds like they went for treatment at a very good, but out-of-town, hospital....and he had to stop working). My own mother is a real piece of work, but I'd hope that (if I owed her money) she'd let a couple thousand slide if I had become gravely ill. Mrs. Rogers had no shame and no compassion....when she was silently laughing at her son, she looked like Ursula from Little Mermaid.
To make matters worse, Judge Judy was excessively tough on the son too. Sure, the guy has some faults....but, shit, he hadn't had his last MRI yet, and they already knew that the surgery couldn't remove all of the tumor. And, he's already had four decades with Mother of the Year over there. Give him half a break!
If the show pays the winner, the son is not out of any money and the mom gets hers. Probably why they went on the show.

My dh does the..... 'you have to watch this, esp with America's Got Talent & Last Comic Standing. If I wanted to see those shows, I would actually sit down and watch them. I hate talent shows.

When Dan and the kids took the putting green down stairs instead of outside, Michelle came down there and said "I told you to take that outside"
She said that to her husband, not just to the kids. She demanded that he do as she said, and take the putting green outside.
I understand her wanting the kids to go outside but she demanded that her *grown-up husband* do as she said.

I've always wondered why footage isn't shown of plaintiffs & defendants physically going at each other. The odds are that is has to happen every once in awhile.
Maybe JJ won't allow those cases to be shown because she's not JERRY SPRINGER.

Depends on the store. Some put the card scanner way down at the end. Some put the screen practically parallel to the aisle so it's visible to anyone next to the conveyor. Not very private, but it beats the self-service checkouts reading nearly everything off in a loud voice.
King Soopers self service checkouts don't do that

I kicked the pop habit after my husband started buying diet pop, thinking it was healthier - it isn't, and it tastes nasty to me - leaves a weird aftertaste like you've been sucking on pennies. Anyway - we buy the flavored seltzer water - La Croix was the best brand, with the most flavor, but now there are a number of cheaper alternative, so we buy whichever brand is on sale. It's just water, bubbles, and a little fruit flavor - no sugar, no artificial sweetener.
As for COFFEE - I'm hooked. And I just read ANOTHER article about health benefits to coffee, in the paper today - Patients with colon cancer had less recurrence of tumors of they drank at least two cups a day of coffee. Decaf and tea did not show similar results - only the coffee. Coffee has also been found to have some protective benefits especially for women in a lowered incidence of Alzheimers, MS, and Parkinsons disease.
A few years ago, some passive-aggressive person "anonymously" posted in our break room at work, an article about how green tea was so much healthier than coffee. She posted it next to the office coffee pot. So, I out-passive-aggressed her (I know, it's a made up word) by finding articles on the healthy benefits of coffee, and posting those in the break room. Others joined in. It was pretty funny, but mostly because she didn't think anyone knew she had started it, and WE ALL KNEW.
I drink 8-10 cups of coffee a day except on Saturday because I'm not home to use the bathroom all day long. lol. I used to drink 12 cups but the dr told me to cut down on the caffeine, so I switched to 'Lite' ( 50 percent less caffeine)

Other than the easily recognizable design on the card, the current trend in grocery stores is for a virtual register tape (including method of payment) to be displayed on a computer screen visible to the clerk, customer, and anyone nearby.
You would have to be standing awfully close to the person paying to see all that. I hate hate hate when the person behind me moves up to the register when I haven't quit finished. They're like standing this () to you . Back the F up until I move.

Just an episode with former pop star Tiffany. She bought a hand painted rocking chair for $420. She said it would go great her her boutique.
The chair was originally bought for $65.00. The 'team' painted a mural on the back & seat of the chair.

My niece shops at them all the time for her toddlers clothes. She finds really nice stuff, barely used at good prices. She's solidly in the upper middle income range.
In warmer climates, people who move from colder places often unload their winter coats there. Fantastic place to shop for a college kid going to school where it gets colder or even for northerners to shop for winter gear while visiting. As a bonus, you can find some nice vintage or retro stuff.
I flove colored glassware. ( tall/different shaped vases/containers) I go to thrift stores every other weekend to look for some. No i;m not a hoarder. I actually rotate items. lol

Latest pet peeve -- the "new & improved" Diet Pepsi without aspertame! It is absolutely horrible!! I drink 1/2 to one 16 ou. bottle a day and didn't realize they'd changed it. After drinking a half bottle I poured the rest down the drain thinking it was just flat and opened a new bottle. Same thing. Took an hour to get the aftertaste out of my mouth (even brushed my teeth & used mouthwash -- it was that bad!) Went on the internet & learned that Pepsi "rolled out" the aspertame free a couple weeks ago. I returned the rest today and bought a 6-pack of Diet Coke. Apparently Pepsi didn't learn from Coke's fiasco years ago when they changed their ingredients. Grrrrrrrr!!!!
Soda is bad for you. Drink water. ;-p

I've always assumed the well-dressed lady with the welfare card in front of me at the grocery is actually using someone's card that she's helping out. Some poor, unemployable mother of six has a volunteer from a local charity doing her shopping for her.
How would you know if the person inline in front of you is using a SNAP card ?

- Biblically speaking, angels were created at the start of time and are not dead people. Not that anybody's obligated to go along with that, but that's the traditional view.
Thank you. 12 yrs of Catholic school taught me that.

Whenever I start complaining about stuff kids do, my husband says, "I had an onion tied to my belt ..."
Our Good Will store isn't that good, and neither is the Salvation Army one. The stuff never seems really clean. I'm sure it is, but it doesn't smell clean. But we have two others downtown that are just local. One benefits the nonprofit hospice, and the other benefits the homeless shelter and Habitat for Humanity. They always have really good stuff because a lot of the rich people donate to them, and they only put out stuff in really good condition. Stuff that's not good they send to Good Will, who makes rags from it. We also have another one run by the Episcopal church. It's OK. You sometimes find weird stuff in it.
I often forget about shopping at the stores because they aren't open very convenient hours during the week. It's understandable because they are run by volunteers, but it still makes it difficult to shop there without going on Saturday. I need to go, though, because all my clothes are wearing out. I was never good about buying clothes for me, but since the boy was born, I almost never do it. I always think I can make my stuff last a little longer. But when your entire heel comes out of the sock, it's done.
There rule of thumb is to shop at thrift store in uppper middle class areas. They always get the best items and the stores are well kept.
People are actually surprised the upper middle class neighborhood actually have thrift stores. On Saturday dh & I went to a Goodwill in a really nice neighborhood here (CO) named Highlands Ranch.The prices are the same as in any neighborhood.

Attention, plus sized clothing designers: we're not all short, OK? Some of us are tall and would like pants that can handle that fact. Also, size 12 is now plus sized? Huh? I wish women's clothing could all just get along. Can't we just have one giant rack of pants, from size zero to size 1000 and figure it out?
Attention bathing suit designers: please, please add some length so those of us who are tall can actually pull up the entire suit without getting serious thong.
Wife and I were taking a "staycation" at a hotel for a wedding we were attending. Went down to the pool for a relaxing swim. Oh my god. Who in f*ckity f*ck thought it was OK to let over twenty boys ages 8-12 just go "play in the pool" with zero adult supervision? Total Lord of the Flies. Assorted toys flung everywhere, shrieking, running, jumping, one kid looping a towel around another's neck and dragging him through the water. Once in a while, an adult would venture in and just stand there for a minute, then leave. I mean...come the f*ck on. I know kids like to play and I have no problem with some screaming and throwing toys in a hotel pool (I did this myself many a time as a kid). But....over twenty of them? With no adult to tell them to at least stop with the worst of it? Not OK. Not OK at all.
One of the idiots decided it would be fun to play on the accessible lift. So, that's when I'd had enough. I stood up, pointed at him and, in my best "mean adult" voice, yelled "Get off there right now. That is NOT a toy. Don't MAKE me call security."
Miracle - not only did he get off (although not without smirking), every other kid suddenly decided to leave the pool and crowd into the hottub, away from the mean adult! Freakin' awesome -- I must use this again.
My final peeve is strollers and people who think strollers entitle them to automatic right of way. Not talking about the small ones used to take a kid for a walk outdoors. I'm talking the SUV-sized double-wide models that people insist on shoving through crowds. I will gladly yield for a wheelchair or for someone with mobility issues and no choice in how to get around a zoo, fair, or other crowded place. But don't you dare shove your mammoth stroller into my leg and then give me a dirty look. You don't want to go there.
As [deity of choice] is my witness, I swear I don't hate children.
A person who lives in LA told me awhile ago that a sz 4 in considered "plus size" there.

That's even creepier.
Why?

I got together with a friend over the weekend, and we were watching some TV Saturday night and ended up snarking on the commercials. She said "I can't believe those Angel Soft commercials, the babies with angel wings - why are they using dead babies to sell toilet paper???"
Those are not "dead babies" those are babies that haven't been born yet.

Reality star actor: I saw Lindsay (My Giant Life) in a Travelocity commercial. She plays a Swedish Masseuse.

Oh geeze! Khols! I shop there from time to time but their pricing annoys the crap out of me. When you check out the cashier tells you how you saved $250.00 today after purchasing four items. First, I didn't really save that money because, well, it's not sitting here in my wallet is it? Secondly, this cotton t-shirt that cost me $24.99 today but was originally priced at $59.99 is bull shit advertising. The shirt should have really only cost me about $10 to begin with.
As a growing, one income family my first stop for clothes shopping is goodwill. I usually luck out there unless I'm looking for something specific. My five year olds whole summer wardrobe cost me $30.00
I love my local Goodwill. My son likes Khol's.

All Episodes Talk: All Rise
in Judge Judy
Dude, this has to be one of the best I've seen in a long, long time. I wish we could have seen more.
