  1. I'm betting a lot of the poundticipants are diabetic, since it's mentioned so often, and may be prescribed the GLP-1 drugs. I was interest to read that Ozempic is for diabetics, and Wegovy was made with a different formula, I wonder how accurate that is? I thought that they were the same, along with the other injectible, and the oral pills (Rybelsus or however it's spelled). But I've read they work in part because they take your appetite away, and the number of side effects would worry me with long term use. I wonder how compliant some of the patients are too, with exceeding the recommended dosage to try and lose more weight?
  2. I found this statement, claiming that the Real Real stuff is authenticated: "We have a rigorous, brand-specific authentication process that uses both human expertise and AI and Machine Learning. In addition, as the largest marketplace for authenticated luxury consignment, we have an extensive set of data — which serves as the backbone of our authentication process.Feb 15, 2024" However, Chanel filed a lawsuit against TRR, claiming they sold seven counterfeit Chanel bags. Some of the fakes are so close to real that I can't imagine being 100% accurate at detecting what's authentic, and what's not.
  3. Velsipity, a drug commercial, featuring some blobby blue creature with many eyes. Who thought this was a good way to promote a drug? I found the commercial and the creature nauseating.
  4. 13 March 4 p.m. episodes- Hair Salon Freeloader?! --Plaintiff/former tenant Tiffany Maddox suing former landlord/ defendant Ivette Rivera over a hair salon lacking zoning permits. Plaintiff wanted plumbing repairs, the bathroom improved, outside lighting improved, and other things not in the lease. Plaintiff started improvements two months before taking possession of the salon space, and at the end of the third month plaintiff left. Plaintiff also didn't want to get electricity, and other utilities in her name, and claims the defendant should have paid. They both signed a lease, and it says that the building is zoned as a salon, plaintiff claims it wasn't zoned that way, but has zero proof. The plaintiff did nothing to find out about zoning, but it was zoned commercial. They never gave the landlord any notice about any issues, except the letter saying the plaintiff was moving out in a couple of weeks, before they had to start paying rent. Plaintiff claims the building was zoned as a nursing school, defendant says it's multi-use and tenant has to get zoning registered as a salon. Plaintiff's husband testifies that they didn't take steps to get additional zoning for a hair salon. However, plaintiffs remodeled, and left projects undone, and JJ says they were trying to get out of the lease. Plaintiff gets nothing back, because she got three months free rent. Landlord alleges damages to the interior of the building, and put up additional outdoor lighting. Cases dismissed, and landlord keeps security deposit. p. 517, 28 November 2023 Muzzle Mishap Leads to Attack?!; Fixit Ticket Blues! 5 p.m. episodes- Volatile Mother/Daughter Feud!-Plaintiffs (mother) Elizabeth Quinton and (daughter)Jessica Quinton suing defendant/former landlord Denise Avalos for value of property that was dumped by landlord, and illegal eviction, $5,000. I'm not surprised the landlord, and neighbors complained about the mother of the mother/daughter plaintiffs, I have only heard them for two minutes and want to whack both of them with Byrd's Fly Swatter of Death. Mother and daughter fought constantly at their apartment, and after neighbors talk to mother she moves out (in August), putting her stuff in a storage unit. Landlady says tenants didn't pay rent from July to September. Plaintiff daughter wants property that was disposed of, and claims she was illegally evicted, but landlord says she moved out the first of August. They were suing for $5k. When mother moved out at the end of September, she never returned for her property. Plaintiff mother claims the lease from the defendants is a forgery. Property owner and landlady testify that the plaintiffs didn't pay rent from July to September, and were evicted. Defendant witnesses are a 3-year tenant, and the owner of the building, and both say they never had issues with another tenant, except for plaintiffs. Nothing for plaintiffs. Artist Van Rental Stupidity-Plaintiff/van owner Jonathan Erickson is suing defendant/van renter Chrystine Cappelli for damaging, and deserting a van he rented to her. Plaintiff rented the van by the week for $500. Defendant wants rental costs for another van, and the $500 back. Defendant had to rent another van when the 30-year-old van rented from plaintiff broke down. Plaintiff claims the AC, and belts broke on the van (the freaking van was 30 years old!). Byrd's Kelly Blue Book doesn't go back 30 years, and plaintiff's case is tossed. Defendant doesn't get her van rental money back, or for replacement van either. p. 517, 13 November 2023 Guess Which Breed of Dog Annihilates Another! ; Upcoming Rap Star Bling!
  5. 13 March “Storage Wars” New, Season 10, Episode (Tewolde, Corriero, Juarez) (Lori Kohrs vs. Elizabeth Ostermann) From the show site: A mother had power of attorney when her son went to jail but says the property manager of his apartment refused to let her collect his belongings. Instead, the manager moved everything to the shared garage, and items subsequently went missing. Was that negligent, or was she within her rights? Plaintiff/mother claims defendant/property manager owes her $5,000 for property her son left behind in the apartment when son was incarcerated. Plaintiff says she took photos of the apartment when son was arrested, took photos, and retrieved his three cats. Then, when plaintiff went back after son's girlfriend moved out, took more pictures and says property was a lot less than when she took the previous pictures. Freddy Gonzalez, the maintenance man for the complex took the property out to the garage, and says it was all packed. However, the garage is shared by four tenants, but there's a locking storage room. Defendant says someone apparently broke into the storage room. But this was the day before defendant reported the break in. Plaintiff disputes the date of the break-in. Plaintiff claims defendant could have stolen some of the missing property. Juarez says defendant can't deny a POA from son. It depends on what the POA covers. Defendant says she told plaintiff that since the girlfriend was a legal resident, that plaintiff couldn't take property that couldn't be proved to be the son's. Defendant still says there is property from son still in the apartment. Then, defendant says an inventory was produced by tenants, and they agreed they had taken all of their property. Corriero says the POA was notarized, but plaintiff didn't show it to the defendant on the first move out date. When the girlfriend left, defendant called plaintiff immediately. Remaining property was locked up in a storage area. The other three apartment tenants had access to the storage area, because it's where their laundry is. Another issue, the girlfriend gave the apartment key to someone else to help with the moveout. Then, defendant said plaintiff and the girlfriend took what they wanted, and the remainder was locked up too. Corriero says it was negligence to move the property before the lease was up, and not safeguarding the property. Who knows who stole the property out of storage, because the girlfriend also had keys, so the number of suspects that had access is pretty big. $2800 to plaintiff for the tools, Corriero dissents. “Couch-Surfing Cousin” Rerun, Season 9, Episode 75(Tewolde, Corriero, Juarez) p. 35, 18 January 2023 14 March “Friendship Fallout” Rerun, Season 10, Episode 7 p. 42, 19 September 2023 “Saving Dasher the Dog; Vanity Insanity” Rerun, Season 9, Episode 71 p. 33, 13 December 2022 15 March “The Drain Game” Rerun, Season 10, Episode (Tewolde, Corriero, Juarez) p. 42, 20 September 2023 “Double-Cross Training” Rerun, Season 9, Episode 17 (Tewolde, Corriero, Juarez) p. 35, 13 January 2023
  6. David was crying over his friend Mike's late wife. That's why friend Mike looked so teary-eyed. The friend's wife sounds like a lovely person, who was very kind to the two children that David didn't give a hoot about. David's two exes were apparently still around. I couldn't believe David and Odette clinging to each other at the end. Or that either one will get rid of anything more, or stop online shopping. I feel sorry for the kids and grandkids who want either of them to love them. When the 22 year age difference with David's brother was mentioned, I had to wonder if that was his brother or his father, and the parents raised David without telling him the truth. It wouldn't be the first case I heard of where that happened. I was disgusted that Samantha roped her two kids into cleaning up, and seeing the revolting behavior of their grandparents. The children should never have been near that hoard, and it's vermin. If Samantha is smart, she will stop trying to get her father and stepmother to care about her and her children, because David and Odette don't care about anyone but themselves. It's a waste of time to try to get people to love you who are incapable of loving anyone. (Next Monday is about "Coral", another Canadian episode, and I think that's the end of the season).
  7. The owner was getting notices from the HOA, and the fines can really add up. Plus, lack of insurance, and waiting to get licenses and inspections was a legal liability too. California doesn't allow HOA's or landlords to prevent daycares in any private housing, so landlord couldn't do anything but inspect with notice, and defendant refused service on the notice that lease would not be renewed. I really doubt that defendant told landlord the full picture of what her business was, and that she would have a working day care, with school transportation in the rental property. Considering it was California, plaintiff was lucky defendant actually moved out without having to evict, or pay defendant to leave. 12 March “Under Fire” New, Season 10, Episode (Tewolde, Corriero, Juarez) (Jennifer Taylor-Gawne vs. Sam Sparapani) From the show site: A man crashed into a fire hydrant while having a medical emergency, and his landlady got stuck with the bill. He says she should be suing the HOA for poorly kept roads. But should he have been driving with his condition? Plaintiff is suing former tenant/defendant for costs from him hitting a fire hydrant. Defendant claims he wasn’t going very fast, 25 mph, but the damages are much more severe than if defendant just nudged the fire hydrant the way he claims. Defendant’s medical emergency was from an existing medical issue, so was it legal for him to drive anyway? Fire hydrant was in the HOA common area. Defendant's car insurance had expired, and was driving without any insurance. Liability insurance is required by the HOA rules. Defendant claims the HOA's road conditions were bad and caused the accident. HOA sent plaintiff a letter, saying she owed almost $15,000 for the defendant/tenant hitting the fire hydrant, which is the property of the HOA. Plaintiff has a property manager, Kirk Johnson, who is plaintiff's witness. Plaintiff never met defendant before the court case. Fire hydrant is now painted red, but was yellow at the time of the collision. (Yellow or other high contrast colors are legal for fire hydrants). Plaintiff witness Kirk says road was resurfaced by the city before the accident. Plaintiff was short of oxygen, pulled over, he blamed his accident on Covid and heart conditions. Plaintiff witness Kirk Johnson says they haven't moved to evict defendant, because he would disappear on them. Even if plaintiff gets $5,000, she's still out almost $10,000. Defendant is still plaintiff's tenant. Defendant claims gutter was uneven, and threw him off of the road into the hydrant, and over a tree. Plaintiff says defendant is a bad tenant, because of property damages, amounting to $3,000. Kirk Johnson testifies that plaintiff owns several units in the complex, and defendant's unit needs a lot more damages. Defendant should have been charged by police for driving without insurance too. Defendant has lived in California for many years but still has an Arizona drivers license, and Arizona license plates, so he regularly breaks the law. Defendant claims he's safe to drive, which is obviously a lie. I hate to agree, but when you rent out a HOA property, the owner is liable for damages by the tenant, or fines also. Defendant has renter's insurance, but that doesn't cover anything to do with his truck. Also, lease says tenant has to pay the plaintiff for anything that HOA fines for because of tenants actions. $5,000 to plaintiff. (I hate that defendant disregarded the safety of others, and drove with a condition that disqualified him from driving. He could have killed someone.) “Tripod Charlie” Rerun, Season 9, Episode 60 (Tewolde, Corriero, Juarez) p.33, 12 December 2022
  8. New, "David and Odette", another Canadian edition episode. I love seeing the different parts of Canada. From The Blue Mountains, Ontario . David is in poor health from the hoard and vermin, and Odette, his wife, is sick of the hoard. What a lovely house it was supposed to be, never completed, and falling apart. He's been divorced before, and Odette is ready to leave. He only can get into the house by using a step ladder into the kitchen. Odette says she's leaving if the house isn't cleaned out. David's daughter and Odette's son used to be married, and David and Odette have grandchildren in common. When Odette moved in most of her stuff wouldn't fit in the house, so it's outside rotting. They had a furnace go boom, and 17,000 vinyl records worth about $100,000 were destroyed. David claims Odette discovered online auctions, and wasted $100,000 of thei income. David was much younger than his older broterh, and Tony was the mother's favorite. He was molested repeatedly by his brother's partner. He never told his parents. His first marriage collapsed from him being a workaholic, and he divorced again. He has two kids with the first wife. Samantha is his daughter. David never had time for his children. She refuses to bring her four children to see David, and she says she doesn't think her brother's children even know who David is. The house is piled high with junk. When David cut an artery in his leg, the paramedics couldn't get into the house, and Odette had to go outside to meet paramedics in the middle of a heart issue. David and Odette both have heart issues. David also has fainting spells. The stairs to the upper story are temporary construction stairs, and totally unsafe. He hasn't used his design studio for 10 years. Psychologist is Sarah Ahmed. Mike is David's friend, and Samantha, his daughter, will both be at the clean up. David collapses from dizziness, and has to be helped outside. He's blaming the crafting materials Odette brought with her, for the front entrance blockade. He says Odette has been adding to the hoard from her online auction purchases.Piles of tools and auto parts fill the driveway and yard. David almost collapses again. Samantha is touring the house with the organizer. My question is why Odette even set foot in the house when she married David? I'm so proud of Samantha for picking her children's safety over letting them be exposed to the hoard. Later, Samantha brings two of her kids to the cleanup, so another adult child sacrificing her kids' wellbeing to suck up to a parent who will never care about them. Why is Effy the organizer catering to David and Odette? I'm sure Sarah the psychologist will be doing that too. The organizers and helpers should be wearing good respirators. Odette didn't show up for Day One, she's in the house. Effy says they can only work with David's possessions, not Odette's or mutual items. Odette is refusing to talk to anyone about removing the hoard. Odette says she's leaving David right now. After a 4-hour delay, Odette gives permission to clear the front doorway. Front door area is clear, and they move on to empty the living room. Odette finally comes out to join the clean-up to look at her stuff. Samantha tells David that if Odette is really leaving, she has to take her stuff with her. In the middle of David's chest pains, Odette is going to confront him. Then, the dresser stays. The house is on a 2.5 acre lot, and it's full. David wants an auctioneer to evaluate the hoard. The outside hoard includes a sailboat, vehicles, camper trailers, tractor, utility trailer, which would sell for enough to landscape the yard area. David claims his rusted out Bronco is worth as much as one that sold at auction for $187,000. Odette is wanting to get rid of virtually everything, and David is refusing. Samantha is a s$&% stirrer, and I'm all for it, anything to clean the hoard out is fine by me. (From what I can find, this was filmed in 2021). Day Two-Odette claims to be leaving again, dog is sick, and Odette's with the dog. The kitchen is being emptied, and it's full of dead rodents. Samantha brought two of her kids to help. Poor Mike, they find a funeral card for his late wife. Odette's friend Edy is urging her to ditch stuff, but Odette's getting meaner, and keeping stuff. The grandson's more mature than David is. A lot of stuff was donated. The 'keep' pile is huge. The three donation places only accepted 5% of what was on the donation truck. Then, David says trash everything, but he's only talking about the rejected donations. Odette claims her pile of stuff are the only things she wants to keep. Day Three goal is to clear the catwalk, drafting room, and upstairs. The catwalk railing on one side has caution tape on it. Odette says everything in the garage and basement is David's. David's now keeping almost everything, including outdated software. Samantha still expects her father to choose her and her children over the hoard, and he never will. Odette is still whining at David. David and Odette are trashing a lot now. Day Four-David admits he went through the dumpsters during the night. Today is the cleaners working on the house, and put 'keep' junk back inside. Sorry, that house is not fit to live in, no matter how clean they claim it is. David and Odette claim to love the cleaned out house. There's still too much junk. There are piles of boxes, and you can see stacks of outdated electronics behind David. David and Odette claim they want aftercare. I'm not buying the David and Odette happy scene at the end. Epilogue-They're still married, and working on the house. (A word of warning, anyone who has been exposed to vermin the way David & Odette, and the entire crew have been, make sure if you get sick you tell the medical personnel you've been exposed to rodents). (Next week is another Canadian Hoarders episode, Coral).

Plaintiff was told to move by roommate/fiance, and defendant claims plaintiff left her two cats behind, and never paid for up keep. Power bill in plaintiff's name was overdue, and she paid it. Cats were co-owned, by both ladies. From what JJ says, defendant has a history of bad finances. Plaintiff gets $2,780 for rent loan, utilities, and fees. Drugged and Beaten by Tijuana Police-Plaintiff /band member Michael Crawford suing defendant/band member Guillermo Ramirez for failing to show up for a show that had to be cancelled. His excuse is he was drugged, and attacked by Tijuana Police. Plaintiff is a record producer, and has a band, defendant was in another band booked for the performance at the plaintiff's event. Defendant couldn't fly on a plane to the performance, but doesn't say why. When defendant didn't show for the flight, the other members of his band didn't go to the concert either. The defendant's band actually broke up at the airport and went home after Guillermo didn't show up. Plaintiff gets $3850. Cyclist Slammed by Open Car Door-Plaintiff (mother) Julie Hernandez and (son) Mario Hernandez (15-year-old bike rider) suing defendant/car owner Dawn O'Brien and (daughter and car driver) Hope O'Brien for defendant’s passenger opening a car door that bike rider almost ran into. Mario didn't hit the car door, but was startled, and swerved, and fell over. Plaintiff bicyclist was riding on sidewalk (legal where he lives), and claims defendant passenger opened the car door, and plaintiff slammed into it and was injured. Defendant mother is suing car owner and driver, but not the passenger that opened the door. Plaintiff should have sued the passenger.

  11. 11 March “Daycare Swindler” New, Season 10, Episode (Tewolde, Corriero, Juarez) (Sonia Gardiner vs. Dejha Simpson) From the show site: When a property owner learned her tenant was running a daycare out of her unit, she became concerned about her own liability. The tenant says she did everything above board and filed a restraining order for what she considered harassment. Can the owner successfully sue for legal fees she incurred to fight the restraining order? Plaintiff rented a four-story townhouse to defendant, who moved in with her fiance and two kids, and was running a day care in the rental unit. After several issues, plaintiff wanted defedant out. Plaintiff claims the job defendant claimed she had was running a transportation for kids to and from school. Defendant claims she told plaintiff she was running a day care, and the transportation was part of it. Defendant claims plaintiff knew about the daycare and transportation service, which eventually became licensed. Plaintiff said the daycare and business was violating the CC&Rs prohibiting the daycare. (In at least one state, California, a property owner or HOA can’t prevent a tenant from operating a day care on their property. So, if this was in California, the property owner can’t stop the day care from operating, but they have to have proper insurance and meet licensing requirements). Defendant said she could have up to six daycare kids without plaintiff's consent, and two more with plaintiff's consent. Defendant claims plaintiff had her served with a notice saying she wasn't going to renew the lease, and defendant needed insurance to cover the business. Another issue was the kid's toys in the common area. At the beginning the day care wasn't licensed. Defendant claims she didn't need insurance for the day care. Plaintiff says the CC&R notice came from the HOA, concerning the business, toys everywhere in common areas, and other problems. Temporary restraining order failed, and defendant went forward with an attempt at a permanent restraining order. Corriero brings up a good point, the plaintiff and HOA wanted proper insurance in place to protect them if a child is injured. Plaintiff did an inspection with a video camera, and this was with notice. Defendant claims the plaintiff repeatedly visited the rental. There are no texts in evidence from plaintiff. Defendant's parents did affidavits, and defendant claims that nullifies the need for insurance. No it doesn't, if a child was injured that wouldn't do anything to protect the plaintiff or HOA. Plaintiff had a failed attempt at a restraining order against plaintiff, and plaintiff is suing for $3525 for the attorney fees because she had to go to court twice to defendant herself against the orders. Corriero says that plaintiff should have asked the restraining order judge for the restraining order. Tewolde says plaintiff was being annoying, but not harassing, and doesn't want to give attorney fees, or anything for the defendant's counter claim. Corriero says liability was an issue. Juarez says that the restraining order judge dismissing the applications without testimony means defendant wasn't harassed. Defendant case dismissed. Plaintiff gets nothing. Juarez dissents on the dismissal of plaintiff's fees. “Flipped the Script” Rerun, Season 9, Episode 47(Tewolde, Corriero, Juarez) p.33, 21 November 2022
  12. Most colleges require you to live on campus for at least the first year, unless you're a commuting student and live locally. Someone of her age can't sign an apartment lease either. How will Alana pay for a house? Or get approved to rent one? She needs to be in student housing, and emphasize her studies, not live with her boyfriend, or whatever her plan is.
  13. On the top left section of Chefee, it is refrigerated. However, you still need to clean the leftover chopped and other refrigerated materials out before refilling them. I can see a lot of effort at cleaning and refilling this device, and wasted food if you have to clean out older products and replace with fresh products. I would not be surprised if someone who buys this will have everything delivered, and have someone to empty and refill the little bins for them. I can't imagine spending many thousands on this device, when I could redo an entire kitchen for the same price.
  14. He has a job in Atlanta, she's still in Arkansas for now, but will join him when he's settled, and has an apartment.
  15. Join us at My 600 lb. Life, we had a success last week in Krystal S.
  16. "Rustic Renovation" New, From the show site: A couple goes back to their Mississippi roots in search of a home with a lot big enough for outdoor living, and Ben and Erin take them on a tour of a rancher that fits their passion for modern rustic design and another with in-ground pool. Dennis & Barry met 18 years ago in Arizona, and now they're moving back. They want in town living, under $275,000 all in. House #1-Brumfield House. 3 bed 2 bath 1700 sq ft $130,000 ranch house. Erin wants to join the living and family room. Move the kitchen and dining, with a seating peninsula for four bar stools. The back yard has a huge pine tree that fell across it, it happened the night before. Erin wants to add a pergola on the back patio, with lots of seating, update the garden shed. All in $255,000 total. House #2-Meador House. 4 bed 2 bath 2300 sq ft. $150,000 list price. I love the living room. Fireplace isn't working, so it could go away. Screened porch is nice but needs new screening. Kitchen is a nice size, overlooking an addition, and extend the kitchen into the addition. With a big kitchen island with seating. Outdoor space has a lovely pool, that needs work. Back yard is big, with a bad deck. . All in total $284,000. They picked #2, the Meador House. The 'fireplace' was only the mantle nailed on a wall, this is the original fake fireplace mantle, and homeowners wanted it gone. I love the steamer deck chairs Ben's building from the deck wood. Kitchen is very unlevel, but they can disguise that. (The floors look like concrete slab, it's tough to them level, and have them hold up). Carol Roark is doing a horse painting for the house. Ben's doing a bookcase. The Prince-Arnold house is beautiful. I hope they'll be very happy there.
  17. I think that since Krystal didn't make ridiculous excuses for not losing more weight, that Dr. Now gave her more time. The ones who claim they gained 60 lbs in a short time, and it's all water weight are the ones that infuriate him. Or the ones that gain a huge amount in a month or two that make him challenge their bizarre excuses.

( I thought the shower heads and rod device looked flimsy. Not everyone's shower or tub combo will be able to fit this so it's secure.

Kevin makes two offers $400,000 with a royalty of $40 and 10% equity, or $400,000 for 33 1/3%. Kevin is out. No Deal.

  19. 4 p.m. episodes- (I missed the first case, about the Mini-Farm Move Out. Sorry). Don't Be Dependent on a Man! -Plaintiff Michael Chunn suing defendant/former roommate Melissa Meskill over various loans that were never repaid. Also, plaintiff says he did receive some money back from defendant. Defendant kept moving out to live with another boyfriend, and then moved back to plaintiff. Plaintiff is still owed $519 after payments from defendant. JJ tells defendant the truth, you need to earn your own money, and not rely on someone else to take care of you, or others to finance you. A good lesson for everyone to listen too. On the final move in with plaintiff, there was a rental agreement for rent and supplies for the apartment. Plaintiff says defendant actually had a job for a while, then was claiming Kohl's let her go illegally. Now she is working at Redstone Village assisted living as an assistant. Plaintiff says he now has a paying roommate, not the defendant. Defendant claims plaintiff stole money from her bank account. $519 to plaintiff. Prison Minister Fights for Sick Mother! - Plaintiffs/ family Robertt Spencer of stroke victim fighting with defendant/prison minister and husband of plaintiffs’ mother, Robert Jones Jr over a business, health care, and accusations of abuse. Plaintiff claims defendant used resources, advertised defendant was using the business name illegally as a profit business. The plaintiff and his mother ran some kind of assisted living, or room-and-board houses. or something like that, for over the 20 years the defendant was married to the plaintiff's mom. Plaintiff claims the stepdad/defendant is using the business name that he's not entitled to . Defendant says that R & R Residential Homes, is the mother's business with him, and is a low cost rental facility. Defendant says the Visa cards are in wife and his name, but were used by the wife also. Defendant says the business was the mother's, not the plaintiff's business. Plaintiff says he has a prison ministry, and as a veteran rents buildings very cheaply, as shelters for the winter with up to a hundred beds in the building. The defendant says the wife (poor woman had a stroke) used his photo with the business flyers, and they're not current. The defendant says the stepson and his sisters want the woman in assisted care, and the husband wants her at home, so he can supervise her care by professional care givers. I dislike the stepson, and his sisters, and think they just want control. The stepson and sisters are trying to get the mother taken away from the husband's guardianship, and be conservators. The defendant claims there have been constant oversight from Adult Protective Services, and the court, because of the adult children. Mother was in assisted living for six months, and then came home with home care workers. Plaintiff claims defendant is going to close the R & R business accounts, because the mother doesn't operate the care homes any longer. Defendant says he has boarders in the home to survive financially, and has a couple of boarders. Medicare and Medi-Cal finance the home medical workers. Son is petitioning the court for guardianship of the mother. Plaintiff claims defendant takes the mother out of assisted living to get her social security check in his hands. Defendant had to file for conservatorship of his wife to keep her children from taking custody of her. $0 for everyone. JJ says there is court oversight over the mother, and she can't change that. What a sad situation, fighting over the mother, and her assets. Fast Girls, Late Rent?- -Plaintiff /former stepdad George McLendon suing former stepson/ defendant Nathaniel Graham for leaving a joint apartment, not paying the rent ($2700), and stepson took furniture with him. Stepson had argument with former stepdad over stepson's conduct at the apartment, bringing women over, not paying rent. Stepson moves out, taking furniture he claims was his own, and not the stepdad’s. Of course, the biggest item in dispute is a big TV, and the bedroom set. Stepson didn't buy the furniture or TV but took it to where ever he lives now. The stepson also skipped out on three months rent too. Defendant claims the TV was stolen, and so the Plaintiff gets $4025 for TV, furniture, and rent. 5 p.m. episodes- Foster Cat Fail!-Plaintiff Melissa Dawson suing defendant Nancy Morton for cat support, after plaintiff agreed to foster defendant's cat for $100 a month. Plaintiff offered to foster a cat for a woman, for $100 a month, defendant never visited the cat, and no communication from defendant/ cat owner for months. The defendant was in the motel with her dog for five and a half months, and eventually moved back into her damaged house. Motel allowed one animal, not two. (This happened in Lowell, MA). Plaintiff says she sent a demand letter in November, and got a return receipt back signed by defendant, and then filed small claims for the money owed. Defendant said she couldn't pay, and would pick the cat up and dump at the pound. I can't stand the defendant saying she will pick the cat up from plaintiff, and dump cat to be possibly killed if not adopted. Defendant claims she didn't sign for the letter, or ever see the letter before the court case. Plaintiff ocassionally received texts from defendant saying she would pick up cat, and dump cat at the poind. Plaintiff still has the cat (fortunately for the cat). $250 to plaintiff, and she will keep the cat. 40th High School Reunion Disaster!-Plaintiff Ricky Johnson loaned money to classmate/defendant Janis Craig-Jacksonfor 40th High School reunion, for costumes for the reunion, and for rent. The loan was to pay for accessories for defendant's outfit to go to the reunion, and for the ticket. That part of the case is dismissed. Plaintiff loaned defendant $200 for rent, and defendant paid half back a few months later. The most the plaintiff can get is $100, plus stuff to go as his date. It's the principle, is why the plaintiff is suing for the other $100. Defendant says she can prove to JJ that she repaid plaintiff $200. Defendant claims he was demanding a romantic relationship for Valentine's Day, so she repaid him pn February 13, instead of date him before Valentines Day. But, her bank records show her 'payment' was taken out of her account two days after Valentine's Day, on February 16th. Plaintiff gets $100. Stolen Child Support? -Plaintiff Fabienne Supris is suing the defendant /child's father William Moore for stolen child support money. I don't understand why the support case is in JJ's court. First the plaintiff claims the amount is $600 a month, but it's actually for about $370. I truly believe the worst mistake the defendant made, was having a baby with the plaintiff, and I feel sorry for the kid. Plaintiff had some kind of child support card (a debit that had money deposited? maybe), and thinks the money has nothing to do with the defendant. As JJ explains, her court doesn't do child support, and the plaintiff had a chance to go to court, and appear or not, and plead her case in front of a judge, and that won't be changed. Plaintiff still calls it 'her' money, it's called child support, not ex-partner support. Nothing for the plaintiff. p. 516, 24 October 2023 Dove Release Runaround ; Uber Driver Payback ; Clueless Young Mother
  20. Wow, I looked closer at the Suburban breakdown, and there were flames! I think the camera crew or producer told Krystal and Rai to get out quickly. I love how Krystal's family pulled together and supported her diet and exercise program. I suspect Damian was employed, but I bet the company didn't want to be mentioned on air, or have anything showing where he worked. The producers might not want to give free publicity to a company either, or have to blur out logos.
  21. According to my local edition of Titan TV, here's next week's lineup: 11 March to 15 March Monday 11 March-“Restraining order ruined our friendship." 6/20/2017, Season 20 / Episode 147 , a restraining order and a ruined friendship Tuesday 12 March-No Title, 6/21/2017, Season 20 / Episode 148 , about a puppy, Wednesday 13 March-“Truck fire fiasco." 6/22/2017, Season 20 / Episode 149 , about a truck that caught on fire Thursday 14 March-No Title. 6/23/2017, Season 20 / Episode 150 , a lemon-quality vehicle, Friday 15 March-No Title, 5/04/2017, Season 20 / Episode 119, a parking ticket. (They’re skipping around again on the episode numbers)
  22. 7 March 4 p.m. episodes- p. 516, 18 October 2023 Funeral, Fighting and Drug Abuse?! p. 516, 6 October 2023 Dirty Hands Dilemma! ; Stop Stabbing My Vicious Dog! 5 p.m. episodes- High on Meth Home Invasion?! -Plaintiff John and Anita Buchanan are suing defendant Wayne Moyher for crashing through his back slider door, and while the defendant was almost naked. Defendant with long history of drug abuse (claims he's clean and sober now) was high on Meth, crashed through the back slider door of the plaintiff's house. The plaintiff's granddaughter was close to the door, ran downstairs and told her grandfather that someone was breaking into the house, and plaintiff ran upstairs and saw the almost naked defendant inside the broken slider. Defendant claims his landlord replaced the door, but plaintiff wife says they fixed their own door, with their insurance deductible of $2580. The plaintiffs say that defendant threw their flower pots at the door and smashed the glass and the frame bent. Defendant claims he jumped the fence into plaintiffs' back yard, banged on the door, and he tripped and smashed the glass when plaintiffs invited him in-What a load of bull pucky! Defendant says he's been arrested five or six times on drug charges. Apparently, the defendant broke more than one door, on more than one house. The police dragged him away. It costs $1780, and plus deductible ($2580 total) to replace the glass door, and frame, plus the defendant bled on their carpet too. (Here's a link to a local news story about the incident: https://www.wkrn.com/news/man-in-underwear-accused-of-breaking-into-a-home-with-a-flower-pot/ ) $3,000 for the plaintiffs. Music Collaboration Battle!-Plaintiff Raymond Dyer suing defendant David Lick for music rights, and unpaid rent on a music studio. After plaintiff took over the studio, he had lived in his van befpre, and moved into the studio. Interesting pink dye job on the plaintiff, funny how fads come back again, my neighbor has a similar hair color. Defendant claims he titled the song in both names, but the copyright is only in the defendant's name. Even when JJ gets the defendant to amend the copyright in both names, the plaintiff is still upset. I seriously dislike the plaintiff, and can see why the defendant didn't like dealing with the plaintiff. Plaintiff now wants the defendant to be forced to perform the song with him for recording, and I think the plaintiff is going to throw a hissy fit any second. The copyright alteration is the end of the case, and the plaintiff is still a pain. A Mother's Worst Nightmare -Plaintiff Kimberly Bihm suing defendant Christopher Allahverdi for charges on plaintiff’s Home Depot Card. My opinion is defendant took advantage of a friend after her son died, and he should be ashamed of himself. Defendant claims the Home Depot charges were a gift. The defendant sent a text to the woman at 6 or 7 a.m. when he was shopping for a swamp cooler for his under the table, mostly cash business. They texted back and forth, and he claims she let him use the Home Depot card for over $3,296, and later spent over $500 more in charges. The plaintiff cut the card off, but too late. I hope the IRS finds out what is going on with his mostly cash business. After the card was closed, the plaintiff claims the defendant filed false CPS charges against her, and the day care she operates. Plaintiff claims that the defendant wanted to date her, and she didn't want to date him. Defendant claims the plaintiff wanted him. Plaintiff gets $3296.
  23. My view may be cynical, but I find that unless someone like Egypt and Mike win almost every challenge on their season, the producers rotate who wins each week. The overall 'winner' is whoever needs the publicity for their show the most. It really doesn't matter who has the 'winning' house to me, since the real test is the selling price, and the houses that fly off of the market. I'm watching the kitchen episode, and could Bryan and Sarah act more like brats? They were so rude to Lindsey and Leslie (however they spell their names), . I think a wood garage door for their two houses is a horrible idea. Something more durable would be better, and there are very attractive patterns and styles in garage doors. I can't tell you how much I dislike Sarah and Bryan's island/curved table feature. I liked the sand art at Keith and Evan's house, but hated the sculpture. Twins still layer tons of junk for staging, and their kitchen looked cheap, and uncorrdinated. Keith & Evan's kitchen was so nice, not their typical theme kitchen, but nice. I really liked the arch too. I still like the sand 'painting' but not the sculpture. I don't like Sarah and Bryan's kitchen at all, it's not cohesive, just a mishmash of trendy stuff. Why is the microwave in the pantry instead of the kitchen? For the size of the house, the kitchen is too small too. No dining area but a the island/table? A big fail for me. I like Page and Mitch's butler's pantry. I'm glad they won this week. I wish Keith & Evan and Page and Mitch could have all won.
  24. 7 March “You Wreck It, You Replace It” New, Season 10, Episode (Krista Garcia vs. Leah Paxton) From the show site: A woman is on the hook for crashing her friend's car. She claims she wasn't driving - that the car was stolen from her and crashed by someone else. But Judge Corriero's line of questioning makes her change her tune. How does he get her to admit responsibility? Plaintiff suing former friend for crashing her car, but defendant claims her friend took the car without her knowledge, and wrecked it, so she's not responsible. Defendant claims she let the other person drive the car once, but not the second time when the car was wrecked. Defendant's pathetic excuses were discounted by the judges. Plaintiff receives $5,000. “It's My Cousin's Bill, Not Mine" Rerun, Season 9, Episode 123 p. 38, 20 April 2023 8 March “Unsecured Deposit” Rerun, Season 10, Episode 5 p.42, 15 September 2023 “No Shade, No Brows” Rerun, Season 9, Episode 118 p. 37, 12 April 2023
  25. In a change in their usual schedule, the Supersize edition of this episode is on tonight, TLC 7 to 9 p.m. Central. I'm really hoping for a great update one of these days on her. I hope the entire family embraced the change in diet, and nutrition, and are all healthier. With the parents selling the house, maybe they already had an agreement to buy another house and couldn't wait, or they got an offer they couldn't turn down that was not flexible about closing dates. Or there was some other reason the parents had to sell and move with a specific deadline, and they didn't want to discuss it on TV. Since it looked like a large property, sometimes they can be hard to sell, so if you get a good offer, you take it. I was surprised at how different Krystal looked from the first appointment to the final update. That park at the end looked like a fun place to visit. Since Krystal is doing so well, staying around Houston is a great option for Krystal and family. I hope she'll keep improving, and can eventually get help with her pain issues. Houston is a fantastic place with lots of resources for that to happen.
