Yeah, I noticed right away how easily Todd ran, and how that contrasted with the way she was just sort of lumbering along.

He needs his own show.

She kind of deserves it though by her acting like he and his issues are solely her responsibility.

It's actually quite easy. I weigh food in grams to get an accurate calorie count as I'm trying to lose weight. It's just another (more accurate) way to measure.

And therapy for the production crew that has to see her naked/half naked all the time, and deal with her shit.

OMG YES! He would chew them up and spit them out. That would be Must See TV!

THANK YOU for pointing that out. I have practically yelled at the tv every time she says she wants a pretty vagina. You can't see it!!! Unless you are looking inside the body. You see the labia. That just drives me nuts that no one corrects her.

Wow. I think I need to stay away from this show's forums. I'm disabled, and there is not one person like me, at least where I live, and I have acclimated just fine looking way different than Will does. These forums have opened my eyes to why I still get stared at, and rude comments from people, even though as a society we are supposed to be more open minded about and understanding of different people.

I saw it today, and he really didn't look like he was struggling. I'm sure had it been larger (it was relatively small) he would have taken it up in the elevator or had extra help. The tank, also relatively small, was empty, so again probably not that hard to carry.

I think they are just baiting people - most commercials advertising upcoming shows like this like to create drama - then when you actually watch, it's nothing.

I hate seeing all of these assumptions by people who are not disabled and are just assuming, based on their life view, what they should do. It's their money, their house. Apparently it works for them otherwise they wouldn't have bought it. And as far as the assumption of the "impossibly huge for people with mobility problems" - again, you have no idea. Grocery shopping - how do you know it is a nightmare for them? You do know there are other ways of doing things, and I'm sure they are used to it and it is no big deal to them. Having a disability, you just get used to doing things and not thinking about how hard it is. They have had to figure out how to do things differently all their lives, as I have.

I know! They have run that ad for I swear more than two weeks. I was expecting to see what happened last week. Hopefully it's this week so the ad will stop!

Actually, it is the correct version - she (his then wife) told everyone what had happened. Anyway, it was a one-time incident and now he is a pastor and very well respected in the community and no violent tendencies. It was a one-off thing when he was very young. The point I was trying to make is that in Iowa, all you have to do is call and tell them domestic violence, and you are automatically arrested.

In Iowa, if you call the police claiming domestic violence, they will arrest. Period. I know this because my cousin got into an argument with his first wife and in his anger threw a telephone book at the wall - not her, didn't hit her. Was a couple of feet away. She called the cops. When they finally showed up about an hour later, she was taking a nap in the bedroom and my cousin was sitting in his car just to get away from her (lived in a small apartment). When the cops finally got there, she said oh, we just were fighting, it's fine now." But they had to arrest him because she made the call. He couldn't see her and had to go to anger management classes. He had to live with his parents for something like 6 months before he could move back in to the apartment.

If you read the rest of the post you partially quoted, you will see that it was from 2 years ago. Not pregnant again.

They don't all suck. Things happen - weather, things don't come in from suppliers when they are supposed to, sub contractors can't make it the very day they "should" start because of another job they started before yours, finding hidden issues in walls, ceilings and floors that need to be addressed - all adds to the time. Then there are the change orders that almost homeowner does, which costs money and time. My dad was a contractor for 40 years built dozens of houses, remodeled many more. Sometimes he came in on time, sometimes he didn't, but it isn't always in the contractor's control. He told me my house remodel - 750 sq ft house, would take 1 month. It was 2 1/2 months. Stuff happens.

If they did punish them, or reprimand them though, they would probably be criticized for that also. I don't think they can win either way. If they were behind closed doors, they might be a lot harsher.

In the last episode, Bill said the kids were 5 and 7. Do you really think most 5 and 7 year olds have great manners? They don't. I'm a library director, and kids need to be reminded constantly to be quiet, how to behave appropriately, to say please and thank you, etc until they are about 10 -11 years old. Will and Zoey are acting like average 5 and 7 year olds. The only difference is their behavior is on tv for everyone to scrutinize and criticize. People tend to forget that most kids act like this - a lot. It's a process that takes a long time to get manners to stick.

It may be cheaper then counseling, but I think it's awful to lie to people who are grieving and profit from it. She is totally taking advantage of them.

I just can't believe anyone can take her seriously. On one of the previews, she is going through a house where the people that live there think there is a spirit living there. She says something like "wait, I just heard something growl!" . I thought, yeah, your stomach, most likely.

I saw that article yesterday when I was searching for info on her and the show. I can't believe she has a show.

I saw parts of the show last night, and think she seems fake. The things she says she could just be guessing. I don't know, there's just something I don't like about her.

How do we really know they waste so much food? We only see edited scenes. They very well may have things boxed up to go home with. I think most people waste an awful lot of food, either when they go out to eat and don't eat it all and leave it, or just let stuff sit in their refrigerator. I really don't think they are that wasteful. I was watching the episode where they went out to eat lunch at a sushi place - she got a to-go box for the leftovers.

When I did a whole house renovation a few years ago, I remodeled everything and had upper cupboards lowered a few inches, not so much that it would look weird, but so I can atleast reach the 2nd shelf if I stretch. I also had a peninsula put in between the kitchen and living room, and used an upper cupboard as support for it so it ended up being table height for me. I do a lot of food prep there because it is a shorter counter. Also had a "comfort height" toilet put in because of my disability, it is hard to get up off of the shorter, normal ones. I also opted to have a shorter vanity. A lot of them now come a lot taller, but I got a shorter one because again, it helps when standing at the sink. I"m only about 5' tall. I agree that things shouldn't be so difficult in your own home. One thing also that this made me think of is how they always do their own construction work on their houses. I've seen some instances where it was probably not a good idea for them to do that just because they are so small. I'm all for doing everything you can by yourself if you are disabled, but there is a line where you can't do something without jeopardizing your safety and they sometimes cross that I think just so they can say "see, we can do EVERYTHING!". Occasionally you have to admit you can't do something or need help.

I think that is why I don't like them very much. They are a lot like my parents - unaffectionate, but know how to tell you what to do, when and how to do it. Not very nurturing or loving.
