Olives are supposedly like catnip to cats - but neither of mine could care less.

Very true... but since he is 19, I don't know if legally the father can force him to go to treatment (unless it's court ordered). You would think that the father would be a hell of a lot more firm with him. Watching them at the therapy session was painful.

Ah... thanks for explaining... As for the "shipped from China" thing, yeah. That would def. be a red flag!

Max and his father made it sound like Max did not know at the time that what he was taking had or was fentanyl. So according to Max, it was "a mistake", and not a conscious decision to knowingly take a drug (other than the one he was going to... you know... take). Ah the logic of drug addicts....

Are they against birth control or abortion? I don't understand why she wasn't at least on some sort of birth control... and when she said she was pregnant again, it was just like "oh no! Oh well..."

Dad needs to nut up and put his foot down with Max. He is so wishy-washy. I understand that Max is 19, but he is living under his father's roof and being somewhat supported by him. Max is delusional about his drug use and brain damage, and his father just seems unable or unwilling to be a hardass with him. He watched the bio-mom die of an overdose - and seems to not want to watch Max do the same. It's time to get tough and so ho-hum about it. Hailey's mother needs to stop being her "buddy/friend" and act like a fucking mother. I wanted to reach through the tv and smack her last night. It's like they are roommates hanging out, not mother and daughter.

Yeah, I agree - if someone has more than 100 (even 20 is quite a bit) items, I too would be suspicious...unless they did some sort of buy out from a store.... I am not familiar with Thirty-One, is it a store? There are EXCELLENT fakes out there (usually made by the same factory that made the actual branded item). I guess I just don't know what market would be interested in BJ/licensed characters to the point that a factory would invest in making an amount of items that would be profitable, which is usually in the thousands... unless a legit factory had to make extra items for an order and kept the extra to sell off themselves (with a slight tweak to avoid... some issue legally)? Which is done all the time and helps them not lose money on the production run. Jewelry, glasses/sunglasses, handbags- most fashion in general - is produced in China. Some items are made in India (clothing/bags/shoes), Cambodia (clothing, bags), Vietnam (clothing/bags), Romania (clothing), Mexico (clothing - especially jeans), Spain and Brazil (shoes)... but if something is from China, that in itself shouldn't be suspicious, FYI. I have been in China and seen versions of things I have designed using proprietary materials, that I KNOW I make/design or even know about that HAD to come from the factory we worked with on the item... So, yeah. China has always taken advantage in whatever way they can in order to make a buck. Very unscrupulous.... but also cheap labor and materials so.... (insert shrug emoji here). The tariffs are going to put a huge hurt on fashion (it already hit bags as of Jan - lost my job due to that) and many other items that you cannot just up and move the production of out of the country due to infrastructure and materials, etc.... (Tariff rant over) *This has been your manufacturing informational post for the day*

Not my cat Ziggy Stardust Stardust (aka Piggy) when he was younger... but now he is a svelt geriatric senior. 😹

I believe he is trying to promote his album because he is a "singer" now.

Some of the items you think are fake might be samples from the Steve Madden design showroom (they own, design and produce the BJ lines). Often there are sample sales where they sell the prototypes, revised prototypes or showroom samples, which will vary from the final version that is actually purchased by the store buyers... Sometimes samples come in with incorrect, non signature or substitute hardware and/or fabrication due to timing OR because the original material was not liked as much when the sample showed up/cost too much (OR sometimes they are developing new hardware or fabric, and do not have the approved version yet - it takes at least 4-6 weeks to even see a 1st version of anew piece of hardware, and then another several weeks for the actual piece to be made for sampling).

Not only is it TMI, but they are all skinny white chicks with thigh gaps. Way to reinforce one body type, and not body type diversity.

I absolutely DETEST what that car company (Mazda?) did to the Cranberries’ song. I have to mute the commercial immediately or I have a rage stroke. HATE HATE HATE it.

One of the S1 girls' parents were super religious - the mother couldn't even say "sex" during a talk with the younger sister, and iirc, the older sister (one that had the baby) explained birth control and menstruation to her. The mom just sat there like an idiot because SHE. DID. NOT. KNOW.

Apparently, they all think that "it won't happen to me" (meaning pregnancy).

Wow! She looks great!

She went to a plastic surgeon.

Look at those collarbones!

I think she cannot stand straight because of shortened tendons from being in bed and not being able to straighten her knees due to the osteoarthritis

She gained a few back

Are the poundicipants not allowed to,weigh themselves at home?

But the scar is vertical.. aren’t skin removal scars on the torso usually horizontal?

Dr. Now mentioned osteoarthritis in both knees...... ‘was it just me or did Dr. Now repeat himself multiple times about her still needing to work hard and how he’s proud of her?

Watched it..... I really wish they would stop yelling “Woah” after any sound from their gadgets. It’s beyond annoying. Especially when the show repeats the sound clip five times in a row. And all of the talking over each other and shushing each other drowns out any audio we *might* have heard.
