  1. Did anyone catch the weekend repeat featuring squatting Southern California realtor Felicia McCarron? She had every excuse in the book why she shouldn't pay rent (a very reasonable -- for SoCal -- amount, $600/mo). She had medical bills, she had pain and suffering, she wasn't given 30 days' notice, the plaintiff had the heat turned off and she was freezing (in Woodland Hills, yeah, right). Appearing on JJ must have been so good for business! Loved how the cameraman shot her face close-up, right up her nostrils. It must have been a weird living situation for the plaintiff, though -- sharing an apartment with her ex and his new squeeze, with the kids in one bedroom, her ex and Felicia in the other bedroom, and sleeping in the living room (when it appears that she was the main breadwinner for this odd arrangement).
  2. Has anyone noticed how hoarse JJ's voice has been sounding on these newer episodes? I do hope she is okay.
  3. Oh, this brings back memories. When MTV launched I was too poor to afford cable (I didn't have a car, either) but I had a boyfriend who had cable with all the channels. He was a loser and I stayed with him far longer than I should have (he dealt cocaine, for starters) but to heck with the drugs. As Dire Straits so succinctly put it: "I want my MTV!"
  4. Yes! I thought the same thing. I even shouted, "Eat your CAT?" at the TV. Patricia (and her phony French accent, hands over heart) seemed to be auditioning for some weird reality show.
  5. AngelaHunter, I agree with you. However, my point was that JJ seems to think that every parent owes every child over the age of 18 a college education, a car, a credit card, and a "good parent" knows what their adult children are doing every minute of every day. Not every parent is richer than God and can do all these things, or is so inclined. An old car might not be much to JJ, but it might be to some parents. I get the feeling that Terrance will turn out just fine, jalopy or no jalopy. And Rick Kitchen....JJ herself has spoken of grandkids she has put through four years of college (not five, as she won't pay for an extra year to party), not to mention weddings and bar mitzvahs she has footed the bill for. No doubt the surgeon and all the attorneys could pay for their own kids' bar mitzvahs, but JJ says she pays the tab. And good on her if she does! But again, not everyone has JJ for a grandma. That's all.
  6. Nice to meet you, Dr. Sheindlin! LOL
  7. No one would give Anthony Young the Father of the Year Award -- I'm fairly certain he hasn't been present in either of his sons' lives as much as he should have been. That said, this case highlighted the rarefied air that JJ breathes in comparison to most of the world. When a child reaches the age of majority, it's nice if parents are able and willing to help out with school and living expenses, etc., but that isn't everyone's reality. Terrance is 22 or 23 and is figuring things out for himself. His father may or may not know how he makes his money, etc. I'm an old fart now, and I understand things are different today, but I moved out at 18, as soon as I had a full- time job. By 22 I was completely on my own, with an apartment by myself and paying my own way. I visited my parents occasionally, but I doubt if they knew my address, much less knowing my bank balance or what I was doing 24/7. By that time, I was expected to ride my own bike without training wheels. No doubt JJ is still financially taking care of her kids (well into their forties, probably) as well as in-laws and grandkids. While all those monetary perks would be nice, it couldn't beat the great feeling of being young, free and independent.
  8. "Spring" is the oldest-looking 20-year-old I've ever seen. She and her mother could pass for sisters (and I'm not complimenting Mom).
  9. Dave McElhatton was one of the great local news anchors. Miss him! He was a friend of a friend...I never met him but am told he was a wonderful person. Good to see some San Francisco Bay Area viewers on the forum! The rerun featuring Wyld (little dog tormentor) and his dad, Mr. Owyeung, was shown a few days ago. As soon as they walked into the courtroom I just knew they were from the Bay Area, even before anyone said anything.
  10. What, no love for the hawt Mr. Eric Look of Utah, whose former landlady (Bizerka, aka "Margaret") was suing him for gutting her kitchen of all its appliances before moving out. Cute as hell, not very bright (or crazy like a fox, couldn't decide which). He had a normal-looking girlfriend in tow, and used to work at someplace called Booster Juice, but now he's "excavating". Now I've got the song "Oh, My Darling Clementine" stuck in my head. ("Excavaaaaaaaating for a mine") As goofy as he was, he would have been just my type, thirty years ago.
  11. Love your cat, Brattinella! (I'm truly Into Cats.) Lettuce....what a great idea! My cats like to eat leaves that fall onto my balcony, then they come inside and throw up on my bedspread. Lettuce might be more digestible.
  12. Oh, AngelaHunter, we mustn't forget Poleface Joe! Maybe we could leave Tupperware Lady and Egan Spangler off the guest list, though. No bar would have enough tequila to dull the pain!
  13. http://www.famousfix.com/post/dagmar-15491047/p235975 Mr. Irby (aka "Babe") fell for Blondie because she reminds him of his favorite actress, Dagmar. (I've been on this earth waaaay too long...)
  14. Bwahahahahhaha! Thanks, Patti! I just spewed lime Jello all over my iPad! Thank you for clarifying that for me. I was wondering why Stank was countersuing his stepfather. And that mother! "His common-law wife", indeed!
  15. I feel your pain, BalsoSnell! Last week I saw no new JJ eps because the Super Bowl was held in my home town and we were treated to breathless TV newscasts about random celebrity-sightings and football players chowing down food at taquerias. So glad that damn game and the resulting traffic jams are over! Now then...one of my favorite reruns, featuring the devious Tami Jo and her electric blue eyeshadow (like I haven't seen since Dusty Springfield in 1965) and her winking, "aren't I cute" ex-BF....paired with smirking unemployed mother-of-one Chelsea Barnett, who thinks she's entitled to her ex-BF's stepfather's bonus from Boeing because "he has a lot of extra money and wanted to give me a Christmas gift!" Blecccccccch!
  16. I couldn't deal with Wyle and his oh-so-precocious act. I can't believe JJ didn't bust out the tired, "This isn't an audtion!" line on him. JJ: "The only one who's allowed to be insufferably cute around here is ME, and I've got the job!!!"
  17. I was sneaking a peek at the JJ Forum on my cell phone at work, and this caused me to snort out loud, prompting strange looks from my boss and co-worker. Thanks, iwasish! SOL! (Snort out loud)Edited because I can't spell...
  18. I couldn't resist checking out FB and it reads "Mommy at stay-at-home parent to my fur baby's"!! Oh, my. As JJ would say, "STAY IN SCHOOL!"Now, if that is her job, who is paying for her "fur baby's" hairdo, pearls and tutu??? BYRD, that's who!!!!!!!!
  19. Agreed! One of the best lines in JJ history! All hail L E O P O L D I N E !!
  20. Bingo! When I was younger I thought my name was boring and wished my parents had been more "creative", but now I love it. But believe it or not, when I get coffee at Starbucks, it will occasionally be spelled "creatively" on my cup. :) Wishing all of my fellow JJ snarkers a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2016!!
  21. Hi, Charlotte! My name is the most common in all of history, but very few parents today give it to their children. (And I don't trust those tricky old ladies, either!)
  22. You guys didn't miss much. 4x4man88 sent me a PM which displayed his superior wit and the breadth of his distinguished vocabulary. Thanks to our mods, we won't be hearing from him again.
  23. Thanks, David. I didn't know the protocol. I appreciate your banning 4x4man88 as we love snark around here but not abuse.
  24. Dueling ponytails! I love the camera person who panned back to the rear to display the side-by-side tails in all their glory. Linda Yellow Teefies looked like an extra who wandered off the set of Hot Tub Time Machine! Not to mention the bitchin tattoo I got with my financial aid money.
  25. Ms. Sancho-Bonet is clearly used to meeting guys in bars who buy her stuff (and being able to keep said stuff). She looked incredulous when JJ ruled that she would need to reimburse the smooth-voiced and smitten Mr. Huff for her "mini-vacation". She is a pretty girl, but that magenta lipstick does her no favors.
