    I clicked on “Ad was inappropriate”, which is pretty close, right?

    Unfortunately,I was  clicking the Ad is inappropriate for every damn picture, and it was gone for a day, but it's back now. 

    It's a Google ad, not PT ad.   Just when I think that hideous ad has stopped, it comes back again.

    I don't follow those shows. Did those women have babies in between their series of  weight loss surgeries? 

    I have an acquaintance who has been through 2 weight loss surgeries. The first one he got a bad infection and ended up gaining back the weight. He had a second surgery and gained back some of the weight. He likes fast food and buys 2 or 3 burgers at once. He says he eats them throughout the day, not all at once. Maybe he believes that there are less calories if he eats 3 cheeseburgers over 12 hours 😂

    No, Erica didn't have kids.     

    However, I think Amy would regain the weight even without her 'eating for two' pregnancies.        I think about 80% or more gain back a lot of the weight within five years. 

    Also, the Erica gastric bypass was a last ditch effort by Dr. Now to help her, but I think she was regaining after that when she went back to her home town.

  3. On the Huntsville house hunters I would have chosen #1.  It needed minimal updates to make the house up to the husband's standards, with new counter tops, or just the island counter change to quartz, and do the rest of the counter tops later. 

     I thought #2 was too far from downtown, and from the military base, if that's where they're working, and too expensive, and husband still wanted to change things.   

    #3, the one they chose, was so expensive to redo everything,  and will still never be exactly what they want.    #1 was cheap enough to even do an addition if they wanted to.     I can't believe they went so far over list for #3.

    I wonder which format they'll have for the new season.

    From their FB page for TPC, they're keeping the remote format.        They save a bundle on transportation, hotels, meals, etc., and they don't have to use staff time to arrange everything.    

    It's much safer for Doug not to be near the litigants in the hallway.   Douglas doesn't have to worry about attacks from enraged audience members either. 

    The afternoon, new case slot is filled with 2018 cases, this week and next, I'm not sure when the new cases start either, someone said October.

  5. 2018 Rerun-"You Borrowed My Car Without Permission! (This episode was wonderfully dissected on page 103 by SRTouch)

    This is 2018 all right, Levin and his pack of gerbils are talking, Doug is talking to litigants in person, and JM has different glasses and an audience. 

    Case 1-Plaintiff hired defendant as unpaid intern, (she's a realtor for a non-profit finding housing for single mothers) she loaned him a car, he parked in front of his house, and racked up a bunch of tickets.   Romeo, the defendant claims he got tickets while working for plaintiff, she said she would pay the tickets, and he's countersuing for $5,000.  Plaintiff wants  $2553 for the tickets, a laptop, and EZ pass tolls.   

    Then Romeo gets arrested for domestic violence, she went to pick up things for him and saw a stack of tickets on her vehicle.    He also had an accident driving her car while he was under the influence, and she let him keep driving her car.   

    Levin chimes in totally missing the entire facts of the case, saying Romeo drove the cars without plaintiff knowing about it.  Totally wrong as usual Levin. 

    Romeo says the tickets were something plaintiff knew about. 

    Then, one day they couldn't find Romeo, and plaintiff tracked his phone, and found out her car was at a Super 8 in Connecticut, and stayed there for a week,  instead of parking the car at plaintiff's mother's house in the Bronx.    He also used to have a meth problem too. 

    Sorry, plaintiff and defendant shouldn't get a penny.  Plaintiff gets $2553, Romeo gets $0. 

    Case 2-Plaintiff added defendant to her phone plan, and got screwed over. Of course it was an iPhone, and plaintiff either had to pay the hefty termination fee, or pay for the phone, Plaintiff wants  $1368.  As always, the defendant says phone was a gift. 

    I wonder how much defendant's mother had to pay when defendant got the iPhone, and on plaintiff's plan, from the mother's plan? 

    Plaintiff gets $808 for the phone costs. 

    Case 3-Plaintiff (little old lady) suing former landlord for  rental apartment.   Defendant says little old lady was the tenant from hell,  Plaintiff doesn't was security after all, she claims this is all elder abuse, and she should get $5,000.   She didn't get evicted, landlord refused to renew her lease, says she was a pot smoking, nasty tenant.   ALso, litigants look about the same age, so much for elder abuse as a point of litigation. 

    Plaintiff had a HUD voucher (Section 8), in Fort Lauderdale, and defendant says he had constant noise complaints about plaintiff, pot smoke, duct taped the window screens, and all kinds of damages.    All of the pictures plaintiff had are gone. 

    Plaintiff claims she rented sight unseen, the place was a dirty dump when she moved in, but didn't take photos, and signed everything was fine on the apartment inventory sheet when she moved in. 

    Neither litigant can decide what the security was, how much defendant kept out of security, or anything else.  

    JM decides plaintiff gets $1200 back on the security deposit, which is a total crock in my opinion.

    First (2014)-

    Scooter Squabble -Plaintiff Kenny Boggs suing defendants Jody and Keith Gillespie for a scooter damaged by their daughter Abigail.   Plaintiff takes his son, Killan, to the bus stop every morning on his electric scooter every morning to meet the bus, and waits for the bus to arrive.   Plaintiff says Abigail wanted to ride the scooter, and only if she brought a note giving permission from her parents, and a helmet.   

    Before she brought a note, she was sitting on the scooter, but the key was in it, and it was running.  Abigail gripped the handle bars, and it started to fall over, so she grabbed the throttle and the scooter surged forward.    The scooter was on the kick stand, when Abigail got on the scooter, and it fell over and was scratched.  As JJ says, plaintiff left the key in the scooter.  So, Abigail could have been injured or killed, and her parents would have owned everything plaintiff had.   Plaintiff was careless.

    Plaintiff case dismissed.

    Spit in the Face -Plaintiff / brother Athan Anagonye suing defendant /sister Christina Anagonye who broke his TV, and tried to have him arrested when they were living in the same house on separate floors.     

    Plaintiff says sister came to his basement apartment to see her brand new washer and dryer delivered to the basement that day.   Sister wanted to do laundry in the basement in the middle of the night, so brother turned the washer and dryer off.  Then defendant spit in plaintiff's face, and she smacked his TV and broke it.   So, plaintiff took defendant's TV until she replaced his TV.   Then defendant called the police, lied about the assault, and police didn't believe sister.  

    After police left, defendant took her TV back, and that's when the plaintiff decided to move out.  Defendant is counter suing for rent, bills, and dryer damage.  Defendant claims she loaned $700 to plaintiff, and claims she has a text verifying that. There is no due amount on the text that JJ can find. 

    Plaintiff receives $250 for TV.   Defendant gets zero. 

    Second (2014)-

    Homeless and Happy -Plaintiff Barbara Borsodi 41 year-old plaintiff is knocked up by 20-year old defendant Harley Howell, and is suing defendant for half the cost of a washer and dryer, unpaid bills, and a broken lease.   Plaintiff claims she still has the washer / dryer, but defendant claims she returned the washer / dryer.    They met while homeless, slept rough, couch surfed.   Plaintiff says they were waiting for her to inherit her late father’s house, his 401k, and other money.   Plaintiff claims to have congestive heart failure, two back surgeries, a shoulder injury, and is on disability.    The other three of plaintiff’s children are the same age or older than defendant.

    Plaintiff claims it was true love, they were going to be together forever.   She claims he came to her, said he would be her man, and they would be together forever.    Plaintiff claims defendant used her. 

    The crocodile tears from plaintiff are despicable.   They were 40 and 19 when they first hooked up, and moved in together. 

    Defendant is now working as a deli clerk.   Plaintiff also says defendant will never get to see their child.   What a B-word.

    As JJ says, 10 million saw her acknowledge paternity to defendant.  

    Plaintiff case dismissed. 

    Insurance Scam or Practical Joke? -Plaintiff Kevin Williams Jr suing defendants Rufus and Michelle Dixon for the remainder of his car note, on a car defendant wife wrecked.    JJ knows it’s all an insurance scam, and a scam on the court.

    Plaintiff got out of his car to mail something, and two or three people jumped in his car, and sped off.  He left the car door open, and the keys in the car. Then plaintiff called the police, and then the defendants, so wife came to pick him up.    They returned to defendants’ home.    There is a police report about the ‘carjacking’, but that only tells what plaintiff told the police.   Then, the fairy tale continues.    Plaintiff was driving wife’s car that was loaned to him, Rufus was following in his car, and wife was driving her car.   The next day wife sent a text to plaintiff about missing car.  A week later police called and the plaintiff’s car was found wrecked.  Then defendant Rufus Dixon told plaintiff that the ‘carjacking’ was a prank, and he wrecked the plaintiff’s car.   However, plaintiff didn’t tell police or his insurance company about the ‘prank’, and who the real carjacker was.  

    Defendant Rufus says they invited plaintiff to go to church and then BBQ with them.  Then, plaintiff went to get a propane grill from his uncle.

    JJ dismisses everything, because it’s a scam.

    5 p.m. episodes-

    First (2017)-

    Custody Battle Chaos-Plaintiff Kristine Kraft SSMOT (Sainted Single Mother of Two) suing the father/defendant of her child, Christopher Kittel, over the return of her belongings.  Defendant claims they lived together for 3 1/2 years, but according to plaintiff she didn't live with him.       There has been an ongoing custody battle for over two years, and both have huge stacks of papers, and folders in front of them.    Plaintiff SSMOT hates that the defendant received 50/50 custody, and she sued for 18 months just over that part of the custody dispute. 

    Son was two when the litigants separated.  Plaintiff claims she never lived with plaintiff, she always lived with her mother, and only left some property, TV, etc. at the defendant's house.     Defendant drove her to the hospital for the birth, drove her home from the hospital, with nursery for the son.   Plaintiff claims the crib, etc. was never at defendant's house.    Some of the custody testimony was from police officers who were called to a dispute at defendant's house, and he testified on the defendant's side.   Plaintiff's Order of Protection was dismissed by court, at the custody hearing.    Each has a child for a week at a time.    The SSMOT's older child lived at the defendant's house too. 

    JJ warns plaintiff that parental interference can lead to loss of the 50/50 custody by plaintiff.    JJ also reads the court decision.   Defendant supported plaintiff, and the two children the entire time they lived together.     Property is left at defendant's home for when the child is at his house.  (My guess is that this custody dispute will never end). 

    Plaintiff's case dismissed.  Defendant says plaintiff did $2,000 worth of damages at his house in retaliation over not giving up custody. 

    Landscaping Grief-Plaintiff  Sreelesh Kozhiparambil is suing landscaper / defendant Kevin Gervasio for failing to complete a job, damaged and stolen property, lock changing fees.   Plaintiff and wife had to leave the U.S. because of a death in their family in India.    Landscaper was supposed to plant some greenery, maintain the front and back yard, seed the lawn, for a total of $3200.    Then defendant wanted more money, claiming the seeding wasn't working, and he needed to sod the outside edge of the yard, and hydro seed the interior part of the yard, and received $4,000 from plaintiff.  

    The front yard picture is awful, and looks like no seed was ever put down, or sod.     Defendant also moved the plaintiff's car, and took it home to gain access to the garage.  The keys were left so he could move it in the driveway, not steal it.    Defendant admits he didn't hydro seed, never put in a full sprinkler system, that plaintiff had bought the parts for.  In the hall-terview plaintiff says the police got the car, and the wife's phone back from defendant.   Plaintiff paid $3200 to defendant, and $4,000 later, totaling $7200.   

    $4,000 to plaintiff.     Plaintiff got the car back already, so that's dismissed.      The defendant also smoked in the car, and that won't be coming out easily, or probably will ever be gone completely.  

    Second (2017)-

    Caught Cheating?!-Plaintiff Tiffani Lefoon, SSMOO (Sainted Single Mother of One) registered nurse, suing former boyfriend, Brandon Maddox, father of her child for cost of a truck, property damage, and unauthorized debit card charges.     Plaintiff claims the police had to retrieve her house key, but defendant kicked in her front door.   When defendant's (professional musician) old car broke down he needed $2,000 for a truck, because he was sending money home to support his two other sons, 9 and 5.    Defendant claims the $2,000 for the truck was a gift, and he still has the truck.   They broke up right after he got the truck, and while plaintiff was 3 or 4 months pregnant.   

     There is no child support paid for plaintiff's child.   Plaintiff claims defendant is her last musician boyfriend, ever.  

    Defendant never paid for the truck.   After plaintiff caught defendant cheating at the motel, the police had to get her key back.   Plaintiff went to work after catching loser cheating, and came home and door was kicked in, and TV was broken, two interior doors were broken also, and the front door.   At that time the only missing items were the clothes and shoes belonging to the defendant.   Defendant claims plaintiff was home when he came for his clothes, and shoes. 

    There is a video filmed after that of defendant looking for his birth certificate, a month after moving out.    Defendant came in through the window.   Plaintiff's video shows the window being broken (it has a metal grid over it, with chains), and she says she didn't have his birth certificate, and other I.D.s.

    $2,000 for plaintiff for damages. 

    No Drinking, No Partying, No Random Boyfriends?!-Plaintiff Suzanne Hudak, suing defendant Sommer Lund, former room renter in her home for damages, not covered by security deposit.    Plaintiff moved in September, $350 a month, with two cats.    A friend moved into another room with one more cat at the same time.   Signed lease says no drinking excessively, no random boys, no partying, but that is written in later, on the written lease.   There are no initials from tenants about the added restrictions. 

    Plaintiff disliked the drinking and partying, but that's written in later, so not binding.   Boozing it up, random boys, smoking on the property, etc.      JJ says you can't say that no one can smoke anyone on your property, so I guess the medical campuses that do that are wrong?     If it's in the lease, and signed by both parties, then it would be legal.   Writing it in yourself after the lease is signed is not legal.  

    Landlord claims the cats from the defendant, and the other former tenant cats were in one room.     Landlady claims all of the carpet was new, but previous homeowner had cats in that room, but had cardboard on top of the carpet to protect it. (I bet the previous owners didn't sanitize the floor under the previous carpet, so the cats would be attracted to the carpet in that room)

    No rent is owed by defendant, because the landlord drove tenants out.    No before and after pictures were taken.

    Plaintiff case dismissed.

    @Floatingbison, if you had free time I’d rather you seen the Foo Fighters. 90 Day Fiance: HEA sucks. Dave Grohl is awesome.

    @Suzywriter, this is why I am so sick and tired of these retreads of boring storylines. It’s why I scream “WE KNOW THAT” at the TV.

    Is anyone else getting the ad for “Rarest Human Diseases” showing a graphic and disturbing picture of a diseased eye? Is it just me? It’s making my skin want to crawl out of my body.

    Yes, it's all over my page today!    And I was stupid enough to click on the link, and it's not even included in the diseases on the list.

  8. 4 p.m. episodes-

    First (2014)-  

    Domestic Violence Victim? – Plaintiff Otis Mays Jr suing defendant Frances Howard, for falsely accusing him of assault, and return of his property.  Defendant said she saw pictures of other women on plaintiff's computer.    After the argument, defendant saw that plaintiff had taken their daughter, so she called the police and reported daughter kidnapped.    Child is five years old.   Litigants have been living together for five years, with only plaintiff working.    During their living together, plaintiff called police twice in 2013 (when the argument happened).   On one occasion they both got physical, and defendant called the police, and she assaulted him first.   A couple of months later was the argument where she saw the computer photos, had an argument, and that was when she made the false kidnapping report.  

    Defendant is getting welfare, and she was on the lease, because the government doesn't know plaintiff was living there.   So daughter went with dad, and defendant told police he kidnapped her daughter. 

    Because of the lie about kidnapping, plaintiff was arrested, and lost his job.  However, the argument and arrest happened in December, the day after Christmas.   Defendant also claimed aggravated domestic assault. 

    Plaintiff receives $5,000. 

    Brother Sister War – Plaintiff Skyler Chadrick-Wehrman suing defendant  Christopher Wehrman and wife Catherine Wehrman, for moving costs.   Defendant had three children under four (my worst nightmare).   Defendant was using plaintiff's truck to go to and from work.   Plaintiff (age 19) was living with brother and wife, and helping around the house.    JJ points out to defendant that claiming to be poor, and having another baby are incompatible. 

    Plaintiff got student loans and grants, and loaned $2300 to defendant to fix his truck.  Defendant claims he only borrowed $800 and it wasn't a loan, but a gift, and claims he repaid $600.    Plaintiff shows the $2300 that was loaned to defendant, out of two loans plaintiff took out.     Defendant says the money went to support the household, and he was using plaintiff/sister's truck.    

    Plaintiff receives $2350

    Second (2014)-

    Handshake Deal Gone Bad -Plaintiffs /former roommates Bradley VanBindsburger and Alexandra Baker-Murray suing defendants/former roommates Matthew Boles and McKenna Pettyjohn for identity theft, unpaid utilities.    Plaintiff owned a house, defendant male rented a room, then the girlfriends moved in, so defendants moved to the back house.     Defendants were supposed to pay utilities for the back house, defendants claim they paid, and plaintiff man says they didn’t and owe, $4365.

    Utilities when defendant moved into the back house, $1600 past due owed.  (I don’t know if back house is separate from plaintiff Bradley’s house, or a guest house arrangement). 

    Plaintiffs Bradley, and defendant Matthew were roommates for years, then in May Bradley bought the house, and in November defendants moved out.   Baker-Murray says Pettyjohn stole her identity, and she received a letter that she took to police, and with a video, against Pettyjohn, so JJ can’t try this part of the case.   There is a pending investigation, so plaintiff Baker-Murray will have to come back after case is dismissed, or Pettyjohn is convicted.   

    Bradley’s mother keeps chiming in.  

    I’m glad Officer Byrd is close by, and security, when plaintiff Bradley starts losing, he is very angry, and glaring at JJ.  

    Baker-Murray’s case is dismissed until after a legal decision is made.  

    $406 for plaintiff.

    Disability Debit Card Craziness  -Plaintiff Shannondoah Baker suing former friend/ defendant Cynthia Wagner for stealing money from her, kicking her out, and refused to return her belongings.   This was after plaintiff was in jail for possession of stolen property, and violating probation.  Plaintiff claims a man she was dating put the items in her home.    Plaintiff took a plea, so pled guilty.   Plaintiff claims multiple disabilities, and diagnoses, and gets disability. 

    Plaintiff was supposed to pay $300 a month rent to defendant, and gave her disability debit card to defendant.    Instead of $300, plaintiff claims defendant charged over $900 on the debit card.  Plaintiff mother/witness chimes in and claims she took care of incarcerated daughter's Rottweiler/Pit cross.   Defendant is counter suing for rent, dog sitting, utilities, etc.    

    Defendant says the sweater plaintiff is wearing in court, actually belongs to the defendant.  I love this, I wish the defendant retrieved her sweater right in court.  

    Defendant submits a signed, witnessed contract with plaintiff. Plaintiff denies signing the contract.  Plaintiff claims defendant kept her art supplies, clothes, and kitchen supplies. Plaintiff’s mother has a son and his family living with her, but not the disabled daughter.  I don’t think that because plaintiff has issues, that it means she doesn’t owe defendant anything.

    Plaintiff claims dismissed.   Defendant counter claim dismissed. 

    5 p.m. episodes-

    First (2017)-

    On Second Thought...I'm Outta Here-  Plaintiff /renter Shauntel Taylor  suing landlord/defendant Darcy Bretzfor return of rent, and deposits, and harassment.   Defendant/landlord is counter claiming for damages to the home.     Defendant is doing a lease purchase from the owner, and rents the house out.     Plaintiff gave a $1600 deposit on the house, never moved in, and wants her deposit back.  Plaintiff actually dragged her child to court, and child is escorted out by Officer Byrd.   Defendant isn't the owner, and it's a deed contract (it's basically a lease purchase to defendant from the owner).  

     Plaintiff was driving by, saw the house for rent, toured the house, put down the $1600 deposit in total.   Plaintiff was trying to do renovations before move in, such as ripping out all of the carpet.  Plaintiff claims the carpet was disgusting, and was taken out with defendant's permission.  Plaintiff took control of the property, ripped out the carpet, and claims the $1600 was to replace the flooring, and she says it was a loan to defendant, not rent and security.  PLaintiff was going to move into the house with her children, at least three kids by the time this aired.  

    There was a current tenant when defendant did the lease purchase contract, and that person moved out after three years.   Plaintiff wanted defendant to spend the $1600 deposit, and first month, plaintiff ripped out carpet, but left tack strips, old rug, and padding behind, ripped out cabinets, and other things.    Defendant didn't replace the floors, but had to get a contractor to remove the tack strips, and padding.  

    Plaintiff gets the $1600 deposit back, because the place was rented to someone else for the same rent, on the same month plaintiff was supposed to move in.   Defendant counter claim dismissed.  

    The Disabled Ex-Husband and the Trashed Convertible-Plaintiff Kimberly Beard suing former friend/defendant Eric Britton, for damaging her car while defendant was borrowing it.  Defendant is the roommate of plaintiff's ex-husband, they were only married for two months.   

    Plaintiff is the care giver for ex-husband (for free).  Plaintiff parks her 17-year-old car in the garage at plaintiff's home in the winter.    Plaintiff went to Florida for five days, and without her permission, the defendant took the car.    Plaintiff claims defendant drove the car without her permission, and car was ruined.   

    Plaintiff claims she had an offer for $2200 for the car.   Defendant says his own car has been broken all winter.   Defendant said he never drove the car before this occasion.   Defendant says his roommate (the ex-husband) needed groceries, and computer repair, so he drove the plaintiff's car.

    Plaintiff received $2000 for the car that was totaled,

    Plaintiff receives $2,000.  

    Judge Judy Doesn't Believe You-Plaintiff Mable Winstead is suing ex-boyfriend/defendant Rockery Seale,  for unpaid loans to pay for two DUIs ($2429).  Defendant is counter claiming for lost property.  The litigants lived in an apartment for the entire 15 years they lived together.    Plaintiff hasn't worked for 10 years, after surgery on her eyes (on SSI).    Defendant had foot surgery for a birth defect, but worked until recently.

    Five years ago, the defendant needed to pay fines for DUI and probation.    Plaintiff gave the defendant the money from the amount she had saved for a cruise.   Plaintiff gets SSI, is totally disabled, but her daughter pays her to babysit her five grandchildren.    Plaintiff babysat for the three youngest for a year, and the daughter paid her.     Plaintiff paid the money for the fines, and DUIs from an account the daughter held (to keep below income and assets levels?).

    My guess is this case is all about getting that show money, and everything will be dismissed. 

    Plaintiff case dismissed. Defendant gets his property back.

    Second (2017)-

    Hot Mess of a Long-Haired Cat-Plaintiff Renee Martin suing ex-boyfriend Dean York for an unpaid loan to pay vet bills.    Plaintiff used her Care Credit card.

    Plaintiff claims defendant was uncontrollable, so JJ tells him to put down the Water That Must Not be Drunk, and he instantly does.     

    The litigants were dating, but not living together.   Plaintiff has two cats, and defendant has one cat, and the loan was for vet bills for shaving because of mats, and catch up on routine shots.    Shaving was $70, and then exams, worming, shots, sedation for the grooming, and the total is now with interest, and late fees is now $576.   The original bill was almost $400, and interest and late fees were charged, so the total is now $576.    Defendant claims he didn't promise to pay the bill, so he didn't.  Plaintiff claims defendant promised to pay the bill off within the six months interest free period.     

    Plaintiff claims man abused the cat, kicked the cat out of his way.    I agree with JJ, I find it hard to believe that the plaintiff who claims to be a cat lover, would continue to date the defendant who she saw abusing his cat all of the time.   Defendant had the cat for 2 1/2 years, and never took the cat for shots (totally indoor cat).     The vet bill was $576 after all of the interest, and fees.    JJ's parting remarks make me think she believes the desperate plaintiff's story about cat abuse, and I don't believe the plaintiff.     

    $576 for plaintiff. 

    Shoddy Bathroom Remodel-Plaintiff Donald Hall contractor is suing neighbor Laura Ranes for unpaid balance to remodel her bathroom.  Plaintiff is a licensed remodeling contractor.   Plaintiff was remodeling the bathroom in his neighbor's condo.    Plaintiff is on disability (I'm guessing law enforcement,) and SSDI or SSI, but claims he doesn't do heavy work, and limits his income to the amounts of his disability rules.  I suspect that's why he wanted partial payments, over a few months, to keep under the income limits.     He also subs out some work too. 

    Bathroom remodel was $2100 left, and defendant claimed the work was faulty, shoddy, and she refuses to pay him.  Plaintiff received $1700, and worked over two months on the bathroom.    Defendant is upset about the quality of the work, and plaintiff's refusal to fix the problems with the bathroom.     Defendant paid another contractor $600 to fix the bad work, and complete the job.   The pictures from defendant's cell phone that the work isn't great on the drywall, and paint.  

    Plaintiff claimed he would fix the last few items in one day, and wanted the money from defendant right then, $2100.   Plaintiff claims there is an email from defendant claiming she loved the bathroom, and how nice it turned out.   

    Plaintiff contracted $3800 for the total job, so defendant will have to pay plaintiff some of the remaining $2100.

    $1500 to plaintiff.  As JJ says, they deserve each other.

  9. (I don't think they ever intend to become U.S. citizens.   They can spend a lot of time in Florida, without that, and they're definitely going back to Canada someday.   There are different residency requirements for visitors from Canada than from other countries).    

    I was looking to see what her design website looked like online, and right after they're fighting about downsizing, for the Florida home, and when they move back to Canada, I ran across an article by Sarah on how to declutter.     I guess that's aimed at the rest of us, because except for what they sold with the house, they packed everything. I find that pretty ironic, since they probably needed a bunch of moving vans, and will need a bunch to move back to Canada.     They still have stuff stored in Canada too. 

    So, they think anyone cares that the four kids, parents and dog have to share an RV for a couple of months?   If that's too crowded, rent another one and park it in the garage too, and you'll have plenty of extra room.   They could even get one with the big slide out sections for more room.    

    Now the resort has Covid infected staff?   What part of this is a surprise?   You know they had to have run into this before, so it's another storyline, isn't it? 

    So, who takes care of the kids when both parents are in the Bahamas?    I really don't care about designing the kid's rooms, and hardwoods are a bad idea, so if the air conditioning goes off, bad things will happen.   So, unless they have a whole house generator, those wooden floors are going to be ruined.   I wonder if they do the Florida standard of doors opening out, not in?  For wind resistance.  

    Sarah wants to put either a grapefruit tree, or orange tree in her daughter's room?  Plant it outside, and it might live.    Her daughter certainly followed her mother's ideas of changing her mind constantly.       

    The second story sounds awful.   That's a gigantic house already, and the second story will be ridiculous.    I wonder if Qynton's (?) room on the first floor,  will turn into a guest suite for Brian's parents, so that's why they need the second story for the giant rooms for the children.   I wonder if all of the kid rooms will have ensuites?   You know they'll have to have gigantic closets for all of the stuff they have, and never downsize.  

    Why don't they rent a big storage unit for the house materials?   And why did they prioritize finishing Sarah's office, and the hangar before finishing the house?  

    For people who move so often, they don't label anything.  If you label the boxes and storage bins properly, it's much easier.   They don't plan anything.    And why are they moving endless amounts of stuff from house to house?   Just have what they need to live, and store the rest until they can move into the remodeled house.

    10 years? He and Jenny have known each other for 10 years?

    Yes, they said they met online about 10 years ago, Jenny visited India and stayed as a friend with Sumit's parents, while boinking Sumit.   Then, she left everything behind, including her daughter's couch she was sleeping on, and her car, and went to India. They married, and now here we are.

  11. To me it's very sad that some like Britney Spears (spelling?) and others,  spend their entire life posting online.   No such thing as a private conversation, nothing too personal to post on multiple media.  However, I bet the ex, and sons have Britney blocked on everything they can, and probably have others who pass along everything to them, or see it posted on media.   

    I can't imagine some of the influencers or celebrities who post every meal, every activity, and all to get more followers.   The worst are the wanna be influencers who thing everything they do is fascinating to the rest of us.    Though I understand you can buy followers, which explains all of the  'people you may know' suggestions for people I don't even know.

  12. The constant posting on social media of every aspect of their life was part of the MLM company she worked for.    Anything to make it look like her life was wonderful, and it was due to the company she worked for, and boasting about how great the products were.   

    A lot of their money came from Shannan's MLM company, and she worked for them, so she posted everything.    I've actually known people who posted literally everything on social media, I find it bizarre, but it's a way of life.  She also posted to show how wonderful the company's products were, and how they made her family's life better.   It was over the top, but part of the job.    

    I know it usually happens that way, but the way his family victim blames the wife is despicable, and they're still doing it.    Then, trying to take everything over with the funeral, and the home was disgusting.   I'm just glad they were blocked.   Shannan's family really stood up for her, and the poor kids.    Right after the murder, his family couldn't wait to try to take the house, and get rid of everything owned by Shannan and her children (I refuse to even think they were related to their murderer).   

    The true heroes in this story are Shannan's family who never stopped fighting to prevent her murderer and his despicable family from profitting from her death, and those adorable children.  They had to fight to get control of the funeral.  No one from Shannan's in-laws family even came to the funeral.    And the neighbor who demanded the police look at his camera footage, and listen to his story disproving Chris Watts' alibi, and Shannan's friends who never stopped pushing to get police to find out what happened to her.    The friends also notified police she was missing, and that screwed up Watts timeline to cover up the murder, and get her car away from the house, driven by a 'friend'.     The police who also listened to the neighbors and the friends, and that screwed up Chris Watts' cover up.   

    I still wonder what the true story about his final girlfriend was, she apparently just disappeared from the area.   I'm suspecting she was relocated.

    I didn’t know about this!  Now I have to go look it up!  But, yeah, they might as well have a one sentence lawsuit “we’re suing because we want our ratings back”. Idiots. 

    Yes, the same network (A&E) who said they weren't responsible for keeping footage, just the production company was, and they shouldn't be a party to the lawsuit from a couple of year ago.   Now, since Reelz is showing On Patrol: Live, A&E wants to get money from the production company because it's copying their previous show, and I guess want revenue?   I barely watched A&E, and I'm not watching them after this.  

    I wonder if since Live PD is gone, if they'll change the topic title to On Patrol Live?

  14. New episode "Tri-State Scratch King" In Sioux City, Iowa.  Single dad Cody needs a home to share with his 5-year-old son Brooks.    Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota   meet in the corner, so they call it Tri-State.  Cody won $600k total, he won $500k and bought a fixer 5 years ago,and a year ago won anothe, $100k.   Now he's buying a new home that he won't have to fix up.    Before he bought a fixer after   1500 sq ft 2-3 bath 2 bath, nice back yard.   Budget is $350k, and he's willing to look in any of the three states.  He's a contractor, so he wants an unfinished basement. 

    House 1- Quimby Place, in South Dakota,  $330k , 4 bed, 2 bath, 1680 sq ft. unfinished basement. nice family/great room, nice kitchen, not a white kitchen (I may have one, but it's not my choice), split bedroom plan all on one level, with the unfinished basement.   Mainbedroom is nice, ensuite is big but needs an update. Unfinished basement has a picnic table in it.   Backyard is great, with a big patio, but no fence, are fences allowed? So, I'm guessing the current homeowners use the unfinished basement a lot, during the long cold winters there.     

    House 2- Bellevue Bluff in Sioux City, Iowa, townhouse, a new build,  $335k , 2 bed, 2 bath, 1520 sq ft.  Townhouse looks pretty turnkey.   kids bedroom is nice, great walk-in closet.    Main bedroom is nice, en suite has double sinks, huge shower.    Unfinished basement is 1520 sq. ft,  No mention of HOA fees.   I think there's a 2 car garage.   Very modern home, with great finishes. 

    (Poor David has a ton of pollen allergies, so he sounds awful.  He's 48, and didn't develop allergies until two years ago).

    House 3- Plum Creek, in South Dakota, $289,500 ,they're duplexes, brand new corner unit.   2 bed, 2 bath, 1700 sq. ft. beautiful kitchen, dining, and family room.   Lots of kitchen storage,  bedrooms are bigger than house #2, great bathroom ensuite, basement is ready to finish.   back yard is nice patio, and some dirt ready to finish.    Only 1 egress window, so you can only add one more basement bedroom.  (Since there is a lot of lumber and sawhorses in the basement, I guess this is the one Cody bought)  No mention of HOA either.  he'll do his own landscaping. 

    He chooses #3, he  says there are great schools in that city. I hope Cody and Brooks are very happy.   I bet finishing the basement will be spectacular.

  15. 4 p.m. episodes-

    First (2014)-

    Dehydrated Defendant -Plaintiff Pearline Williams-White suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Tommy Hughes for return of their two cars, that are both in her name.   The litigants are now split up, and fighting over two cars.  Cars were put in plaintiff’s name, and she wants both cars, but defendant paid for both cars, and plaintiff has the title and tags to both cars.   Defendant wants the titles to register the cars in his name, and defendant has the two cars.   2006 GMC Envoy, and a Honda Accord are the vehicles in question.  Defendant keeps chugging the “Water that Should not be Drunk”.

    Defendant says he already has three cars in his name, but still wants the other two cars.

    JJ tells the defendant which of the two cars each one wants.

    Plaintiff wants the Mercedes, not the Honda, but she’s getting the Honda, and defendant gets the Envoy, if plaintiff gives the signed title to defendant.

    Plaintiff gets the 1999 Honda, and $1500.   Defendant will put plaintiff and her daughter’s clothes in the Honda when he turns it over.  (A complication is plaintiff lives in Virginia, and defendant lives in Alabama, so defendant will figure out how to get the car to her).

    Lethal Lemon -Plaintiff /ex-girlfriend Jessica Tidwell suing defendant/ex-husband Ed Sprague and his former employer Kenneth Schoeff over a lemon car they sold her.   Car was defendant Schoeff’s car, and 13 years old, and had 147,000 miles with a rebuilt engine in it.    Ex-husband isn’t really a proper defendant, just Schoeff.    

    Plaintiff thinks a 13-year-old car will never have an issue.    JJ is upset that Schoeff doesn’t work, but he has kidney disease, heart disease, and a few other things.   There is no written guarantee on the car. Plaintiff doesn’t have a bill of sale for the car, and didn’t have the car evaluated by a mechanic before buying the car.  

    Plaintiff case dismissed. 

    Second (2014)-

    Ailing Uncle Going Blind -Plaintiff /uncle Richard Granado suing defendant/niece Mellisa Wada for illegal eviction, and theft of property she kept after she evicted him.   Uncle lived with niece for over a year, and paid nothing.  Defendant is counter suing uncle for invasion of privacy, unpaid rent, and damages to her property.   

    Uncle moved in with niece when he found his wife was screwing niece’s mother’s husband (niece’s mother is plaintiff’s sister, to put it better, uncle’s wife was screwing his sister’s husband), and the wife was divorced.    Plaintiff is on disability, for about $700 a month.   

    Defendant says agreement was $250 twice a month rent ($500 a month).   When niece found out that uncle couldn’t pay the rent, and so she wanted $200 or $300 a month, and use his EBT card (food stamps on debit card), to help the household. 

    Defendant did not do a legal eviction, even though uncle didn’t pay rent.  

    Defendant says plaintiff took all of his property with him when he moved out.  However, an email from niece says she’s storing items for uncle. 

    Plaintiff gets $0, and will pick up the stuff in bins at defendant’s house, in the next five days or it can be dumped.

    Bahamas Cruise Crisis -Plaintiff Ginny Faint suing defendant Kim Smith for $478.30, over a trip plaintiff paid for to the Bahamas.  Defendant belongs to a travel club, and plaintiff was going to pay for both of their trips, and did.  

    However, defendant says she paid all of the expenses, and wants her money repaid.   Plaintiff didn’t go on the trip, and so both tickets were paid for by plaintiff, and defendant never paid for her ticket.   Defendant says the trip was $69 each, but there were port fees, and other items.  

    However, defendant went on trip with her fiance, but plaintiff didn’t go.  

    Plaintiff paid $69 to defendant.    Plaintiff claims price of trip went from $69 to over $200, claims she paid defendant $478.

    Plaintiff case dismissed. 

    5 p.m. episodes-

    First (2017)-

    Duplex Confusion-Plaintiff Nicole Edwards suing former roommate/defendant Wendy Halligan-Douglas, for security deposit from a rental they shared two years ago, and money paid towards a bill.  Plaintiff, her mother, and one child lived in the duplex for 2 1/2 years, then defendant moved in.    Plaintiff's mother was the signatory on the lease, and paid the security deposit.   Defendant moved in during June, and but went on the lease two months later.  Plaintiff's mother moved out, and defendant was living in one or two bedrooms of the duplex.    A year later plaintiff moved out, and defendant stayed, with her husband, and child.    

    The damages are each blamed on the other litigant.   When plaintiff moved out, she claims she had a walk through with the landlord, but has no paperwork.     At that point plaintiff should have asked for her security back, and defendant would have had to pay the security deposit.    The utility bills are submitted, and plaintiff claims she put bill in her own name, after defendant didn't pay.     However, defendant has utility bills in her own name, or husband's, to keep the utilities on.  Plaintiff doesn't have a bill for utilities in her own name, or any proof of payment.  

    Defendant called CPS about drunken, drugged plaintiff, and her child neglect.

    Plaintiff is told to go back to her local court (Sacramento, CA) for the security deposit.  

    Uber Roommate Argument-Plaintiff  Rami Shawjrawi suing former roommate/defendant Feras Babeyeh for a loan to pay off credit card debt, and utility bills.    Credit card was paid off before defendant moved into the apartment.   Defendant paid off $1165 for the credit card bills, but defendant claims he was letting plaintiff use his car for Uber (only for three weeks).  Plaintiff bought beds for both when they moved into the house.  Defendant claims he was going to let the plaintiff use his car for six months, but it turned out to be three weeks.   

    When defendant moved out, he left the bed behind that plaintiff paid for.   Plaintiff admits he had the bed, that costs $558, and plaintiff left the bed behind   Plaintiff paid off the defendant's credit card debt, so the defendant could refinance the car loan, and in return plaintiff would drive the car for Uber.    Plaintiff was also put on the defendant's car insurance.   

    Plaintiff is a grad student working on his Ph. D.      However, he's never been an Uber driver. 

    $1165 for the credit card pay off.  

    Second (2017)-

    Home for Eight Children-Plaintiff/landlady Deborah Evans is suing former tenant Pauletta Davis for damages to rental property, utility bills, and a stolen phone.   Defendant moved in with her eight children, and husband, and blames the damages on the children.   $1595 was rent, $1595 was security, but only paid a little over $1200 (It was under Section 8, but defendant has to pay the security deposit).      

     There are giant holes in the walls, lots of trash in the house.   Defendant says the plaintiff had a problem with the kids, ranging from 4 to 15.     Defendant says plaintiff would come to the house at 6 a.m., and lock the children outside all day.    Plaintiff bought the house in 1991, lived there until 2009, her son lived there for a while, and then she rented it out after remodeling the house.   Plaintiff says she bought for $41k and sold in 2017 for $190k, (reduced from $200k for the damages), and rented it out for seven years.  

    As JJ says, plaintiff was getting the full rent from Section 8, but still told defendant to leave.   Plaintiff wanted the defendant, husband, and eight children out because of damages to house, fence, yard, etc.    There are tons of junk outside the garage, and in the yard, including tires.   Interior damages are huge holes in the walls, and the pictures of the yard and house trash are appalling.     The children regularly played basketball in the house.     Defendant claims she had to fix all of the damage to qualify for another Section 8 home.    

    Defendant says she didn't have any supervision for her eight kids, so they destroyed the house.   Tenants only lived in house for 14 months, and claims she was homeless when she moved out, and pays $1500 a month for her children to stay in a motel room.   Plaintiff did not bring receipts to fix damages in the house.  Plaintiff's husband fixed the damages in the house.   Plaintiff sold the house after this, and had to reduce the sale price by $10,000 to the buyer for damage repairs.    

    Case is dismissed, there were few repairs done, and no receipts.    Plaintiff has utility bills she paid that defendant didn't pay (but no receipts for payments).   Plaintiff wants to be paid for a cell phone she claims defendant, or her children stole from her. 

    Both cases are dismissed.   Plaintiff sold the property, and defendant trashed the place, so she's not getting her security deposit back.   (I hope plaintiff's new landlord saw this show, and where ever her out of control kids are staying).  Defendant's moving fees aren't getting paid by Officer Byrd either. 

    (Why do landlords ever come on this show?  Or The People's Court either? They must think it will be the one time the judge sides with the landlord, but it very rarely is.)

    Widow Payback?!-Plaintiff Karen Midthun suing her late cousin's widower, Dillon Staley for an unpaid car loan.   Defendant's late wife was diagnosed with a terminal disease at 19 or 20, and died not too long later.   Plaintiff co-signed on the loan (defendant, and his late wife are both young, and had a child) for a car, and after the wife died, the defendant couldn't pay for the loan.     

    Defendant couldn't afford the payments, so dropped the car at the bank, and it was sold at auction, with a deficit.     Defendant was the primary, and the bank (it actually was a repossession) should have garnished the defendant's wages.     Defendant had the car for 2 years, and he and his new girlfriend have an F-150 (apparently, he has the one truck, and there are more).     The bank notice came to the defendant's address, and he ignored it, and the bank went after the co-signer plaintiff. 

    In the hall-terview defendant says he's not in contact with his wife's aunt because she doesn't come around, and doesn't like his new girlfriend.  Plaintiff says the defendant certainly found a new girlfriend quickly, and she disapproves of the way they're carrying on. $5,000 to plaintiff.     (I hope this was the total shortfall).
