[My Lottery Dream Home - General Discussion]

I loved the family on tonight's new show.     And I really liked the wife saying that they were buying what they could afford, and paying it off so they won't have a mortgage.   I hope that's the true situation, and so sensible.    I don't understand why people in heavy snow country are worried about being close to a main highway, since getting on the road in bad weather will be so much easier than waiting until the snow plows get to your street.      With a decent set of double pane windows, and bedrooms on the back, then road noise shouldn't be a problem.   

[Pet Peeves: The Holy Trinity and Beyond]

What I hate is they mix the brass or rose gold lights or fixtures, with other finishes, and it looks pieced together, and ridiculous.  

[Spoilers and Spoiler Speculation: Benchmarking]

I wonder if a highlight of the wind storm on next week's show will be some intern who just gleefully said that there will be a lot of impaled patients, gets impaled two seconds later?   That would be funny to me, but I do have a rather bizarre sense of humor.  

I wonder if the writers are borrowing plot ideas from General Hospital?    The next step is an endless coma for some guest star.  

My big question is since the poor nurse is now gone, and had no relatives, who will take care of the baby?   Please tell me it's not Owen and Amelia.     

[The People's Court - General Discussion]

I hated the Sainted Single Mother, who not only forged the 'guarantee', but tried to change the period to either 60 or 90 days.     I really hoped Doug would say one of his totally brutal comments, and we could see her really cry, but it just wasn't to be.    

The tree/fence people were so funny.     That fence looked like some of the really old ones across the street from me, and Hurricane Michael's wind and rain really made them look interesting.     I didn't realize you could make a privacy fence curve like that.     Adults in that case should have taken the tree down years ago, and the one with the branch overhang should have called the local chain saw guy to remove everything on his side of the fence.    Then the fence should have been rebuilt, and depending on the property line, and where the fence was placed, either one pay for it, or jointly.    I really hoped we were going to find out about the outlaw wife, but no such luck.    

I hated everyone in the apartment case.    The worst part of the case was the fact that (I could be wrong, I frequently am) not only would the tenants have to climb on the roof to escape a fire, but I think they said you couldn't get to neighboring buildings, or the neighboring buildings were gone, I'm not really sure.     Actually, I know a fire investigator in NYC, and I bet his wife watches TPC, and will mention Oreo, and his heartless fire evacuation plan.    The NYFD will be on this man's fanny very quickly.  I bet the NYC housing people are on his sorry fanny too, and going by Oreo isn't going to stop them.    I loved JM and her handrail ruling, and can't believe Oreo thought having Niagara Falls in your apartment was no big deal.  

[All Episodes Talk: All Rise]

Woman Whacks Husband's Ex in Head with Gun (He just got out of prison for 3 years, and his current wife, and mother of his three kids assaulted the ex)-Idiot ex con claims he was innocently out until midnight (and we all know what he was doing, and probably with another desperate woman).   The man went to prison for 3 years for assaulting the defendant, and married his co-plaintiff wife while he was in jail, and the three kids with plaintiff wife range from 11 years to 5 months.    Supposedly man texted p. at mall, to come to his cousin's house, where he's shacking up with the wife.     The witness in black for the plaintiff, is a man right?    Needs a shave.      Plaintiff goes to the cousin's house, wife/gf d. whacks stupid desperate plaintiff in head with a gun.    Plaintiff made phony police report saying defendant ex-con wasn't present, so it didn't violate his non-contact order with desperate, stupid, slutty plaintiff.      D. wife says she has a recording of confession from plaintiff that she vandalized the car.      Poor Byrd has to go listen to the garbage audio recording on the phone, and couldn't figure out anything on it.      D. wife apparently walked in on Plaintiff and D. husband boinking in the basement, and that's when the assault happens.     JJ dismisses the town tramps' cases.   I wonder what happened to the plaintiff's teeth?  Or is that a souvenir of love muffin's assault? No money to either party, because they're stupid, slutty, and desperate, and all three will probably go home to continue the freaky relationships.

Two Tow Truck Drivers Collide and Man Almost Loses Arm-Two tow truck drivers work for the same company in Chicago.    They get paid cash for each tow, which apparently makes things very competitive.     Plaintiff claims Defendant parked to close to his truck that p.'s arm was caught, and almost torn off.    Truck company doesn't get worker's comp., because they will take care of the plaintiff, and didn't want him to get a lawyer, for obvious, sleazy reasons.       The two drivers were racing to get to the accident, because first one there gets the tow, and the money.   The plaintiff looks so confused and hurt when JJ says there's a scam going on, and she'll figure it out (he's not a good actor either).      I think part of the reason they came on the show was to advertise the business, and I'm surprised the litigants, and their witnesses aren't wearing M & J Trucking t-shirts.    When d. moved out, the T-shaped boom hit p.'s arm.   JJ tells them both to take it up with M & J Trucking, no one gets money from Byrd today.

Teenager's Night in Prison (I'm assuming jail)- Plaintiff got thrown in jail for 24 hours, car was impounded, all because the defendant reported the license plates stolen (receiving stolen property was the charge).   Plaintiff bought car from Defendant, a 2008 Pontiac G6, off of craigslist and Facebook.    Price was $2k.     Plaintiff claims she paid $1700 cash, and defendant claims she never gave her a penny.  The only proof is Facebook messages, and car was given to plaintiff, and defendant claims it was a test drive.  They were supposed to meet the next day for a signed, notarized something.     The defendant claims she didn't get any money, and her license plates were still on it, and work I.D.     Plaintiff buys and flips cars for profit.   Police report from next day says license plates were stolen, without a mention of a stolen car.    Title was signed over when the car was sold.     The car was in the defendant's mother's name, and she made the stolen license report to the police.     Police pulled p. over, threw her in jail, impounded the car, and then defendant got car out of impound.    Plaintiff was in jail for one day.   And defendant still has the car, and plaintiff will get the car back with the marshal's help.    Judgment is $0, but plaintiff gets the car back.  

My personal guess is the car flipper had zero reason to register and get a new license plate for the car, since she knew exactly how long Ohio lets you go until you get a new registration on a sale car.    I think the plaintiff intended to sell the car for a profit before the time expires to re-register, and I'm guessing there's no insurance either.      I didn't like anyone in this case, but I think the plaintiff was playing a game with the defendant's car, to avoid paying registration fees.

Completely Hideous Bridal Gown-Another butt ugly wedding gown.   Dress costs $365, and bride furnished the material, plus plaintiff wants cost of replacement dress, and some other junk because she didn't like the dress.   The new fancier dress cost $1,500, quite a financial upgrade.  Bride/plaintiff wanted a $1,500 dress for $350 from the defendant.     At least in this case no one looks like a walking trash bag, at least until we see photos of the wedding dress.    Dress was sold without guarantee or warranty, and contract is closed on delivery of dress, and on full payment.     The bride/plaintiff wanted one of those semi-transparent chiffon dresses, that needed a body suit under it, that the seamstress also made, so people couldn't see her goodies, but the original dress picture is see through.    The fashion shot of the original gown clearly shows that it's supposed to show everything, that's why there's a body suit made with it.      No one got a penny, and it was a simple contract case with a stupid, tasteless bride again.   The seamstress produced exactly what the picture of the dress looked like, and I'm sure it was also virtually see through, just as the fashion magazine original picture was.   Plus, I can't imagine what the plaintiff called tasteless, when she ordered a see through skirt that needed body suit to hide her girlie bits, and the skirt was ordered with a slit all the way up to the waist.   

[Hot Bench - General Discussion]

Personally, I wouldn't want the falling down  hunting guide near me with a loaded gun, and I suspect he will be in rehab again shortly, or just disappear.       I watched the entire case, and I didn't see the falling down, stumbling hunting guide part they showed on the commercials. 

[All Episodes Talk: Let’s Talk About Dr Phil the Show]

My guess is the reason Dr. Phil and Robin don't look at the audience when they're leaving is so a fan doesn't decide that's an invitation to jump out at them.   

[Spoilers and Spoiler Speculation: Benchmarking]

Who wants to bet the final scene of the first half of season finale next week will be Teddy either blurting out she's pregnant, or collapsing at Owen's feet before telling him about his little bundle of joy?    Then, someone will run to help her, and announce she's pregnant.   All this will happen when everyone is waiting outside the surgery on Catherine, so it will be a double cliff hanger.   Isn't Debbie Allen a producer?  I can't see them writing her out, so I'm sure Meredith will come up with a solution, and maybe it will be Jo's cancer treatment she's working on. 

And I'm guessing Jackson's friend will show up, and it will turn out she's not going to be a threat at all.    Maggie is the most juvenile person that I've seen in years, and she's being written like she's a toddler throwing a tantrum most of the time.       In my view. April talking to Jackson about religion is only part of his life, and she's married to someone else now, and that's not a threat to his romances.      

[All Episodes Talk: All Rise]

I think his name really was Carapace, and his mother should be very ashamed she did that to him. 

 I think the roommate case boiled down to the ex-gf is the type of person that thinks when she breaks up with someone, everyone else she knows should act like they don't exist, and shun them forever.     

I can't believe the man with two gf's moved them into the same house, and apparently sharing a room, and they both still live in the house, but in separate rooms now.      I see no reason why any woman would want him around, let alone in that relationship.     I wonder about the current and ex-gf in the same house now that he was dumped by the first girlfriend too.    That was just a stupid case all of the way around.  

[All Episodes Talk: All Rise]

Supposedly, the reason JJ sends them back to the local court is so the person has a better chance to get more evidence, and some places it's a higher dollar amount than the show limit of $5k.  I suspect in this case that mommy wanted her money, but didn't want sonny to have to pay for it.    

Roommate sues when roommate allows her ex-bf into apartment-Ex-GF, her now ex-BF, and friend rented together (who couldn't see this wouldn't go bad?).  Gf claims second roommate allowed ex-roommate bf into apartment, but he had a key.     P. is other roommate, and D. stopped paying for apartment, and blamed the other roommate.  Gf changed the locks, illegally, instead of moving to another apartment, or any other adult solution.    Ex-gf tried for a restraining order without hearing, because the gf didn't show up.    (On a shallow note, the woman over the right shoulder of the plaintiff should stop getting so many lip fillers, before her lips explode).       Another defendant that has a mommy that thinks her kid is picked on by the universe.     GF tried to tell the other remaining roommate that he couldn't have her ex in the apartment.   Tell me ex-gf is only a pouchy gut, and preggo poochy.        Defendant tried to move out and not pay rent for four months, JJ does the right thing and the plaintiff gets his $1600 back rent.

Woman sues son & wife for loans-P. Mom is suing son and soon to be ex wife for loans made during the marriage, and wants ex to pay the loans.     However, the $2800 given to the son for the lawyer was a gift, and the rest sounds like retribution against the ex-wife.     It's so funny that the mother and the wife look so much alike.    Next loan (not gift) was for $689 for his rent shortfall, next one was $4800 for credit cards to son, and this comes out to  $5489.   The couple separated in April, but the loans were to the son after that, and that makes it the son's loan, not the ex-wife.    I wonder if the local maximum in the plaintiff's state is lower than JJ, or as I suspect the debt is the son's and not part of the ex-wife's responsibility.      I love how mom fell for the old, I'll pay you when I get income tax scam from the son.     Son wanted her account information so he could direct deposit, and fortunately Mom didn't fall for that, or I suspect there would have been a lot of money gone from her account.   I think the reason the suit was filed was to get the $5k from the show, and the son wouldn't have to pay anything, so it was sent back to small claims where they're from, and someone may have to pay the money out of their own pocket.      

Rerun-Open Relationship Shocker-Man moves his two girlfriends in together.   Loser bf is suing ex-gf for lost wages, and loans.     The plaintiff's witness is his other gf.     The two gf's moved into the same room in a house, so he didn't have to make two trips.      Plaintiff loaned for apartment move-in, plus, car fare, and clothes, etc.     The two gf's lived in the same room then and now live in the same house, but separate rooms.     I fail to see the attraction of the loser plaintiff.  Plaintiff got a protective order against him, and he's still a loser.     Defendant gets $500, and the halterview is hysterical, with loser plaintiff doing the giant mouth of astonishment at every claim the defendant made.   I can see why this rerun was on, it's a wild one.  

Rerun-Chicken Slaughter-Plaintiff called by witness and his tenant saw two dogs attacking and killing 50 of the plaintiff's chickens (he had 75 then for show birds, and egg laying).    Witness chased the dogs out, followed the two dogs home, to the defendant's home.    A neighbor next door to the d. let the dogs back into the yard.     Witness says wife of defendant said dogs had slaughtered chickens before that belonged to them.     My guess is that the wife is going to be sorry she said anything, or was a witness for this case, because the defendant is one of those a-holes that moves to the country, and lets his animals run amok, destroying other people's property and animals.   Idiot defendant calls wife to witness his lame story.   The dogs match the description of the p. witness, and the wife looks like she would rather be anywhere but in court.         I feel so sorry for the plaintiff, and those poor chickens.    Gonzalez, the defendant came over the next morning and helped clean up the dead birds, said he would pay damages, and said that to the police too.      Animal control saw where the dogs dug out, and where someone had thrown some fresh dirt over the holes.      I wonder how bad it was for the wife after she went home with the defendant husband?       I bet she got the blame.    

Plaintiff gets $5k for his chickens, and Mr. Gonzales deserves the explosive diarrhea curse that liars get.

It would be funny if nutso the lamb wrangler went to the farm, and found out why they call them rams.     Or found out that a sheep dog protects his flock, especially from marauding psychos.  

[All Episodes Talk: All Rise]

My guess is Little Bo Nutso was converting a room in the house for the lamb, which is now a full grown sheep, and was going to get a companion sheep for it, so hubby would have had two grown farm animals in the dining room or something like that.     That woman is scary in her view of animals.  

[All Episodes Talk: All Rise]

The pet sitter case was horrible.     The pet sitter lies about everything she did, broke every condition of  the pet sitting job, gets a dog killed, and has lame excuses for everything.     I wanted to punch the pet sitter in the face so badly, and the thought that she apparently has some kind of job watching kids scares me to death.     I felt so sorry for the dog owner, and wonder if the idiot pet sitter will ever leave her alone.      The pet sitter certainly had a lot of excuses, but if someone was staying in the owner's house, she wouldn't have needed a pet sitter would she?   

[All Episodes Talk: All Rise]

Pet Sitter from Hell lets Dog Dig Out of Her Yard and Get Killed by a Car-  Dog sitter was recommended by the woman's vet, and I hope she told the vet what an idiot she is, and what happened. A so-called animal activist, who is apparently drunk or stoned, and probably always is, was supposed to stay at a woman's house, take care of her four dogs, and takes the dogs back to her home instead.    The 'animal activist' part confuses me, or is the pet sitter, really one of those animal activists that thinks all pets should be allowed to run free in the wild, to get hit by cars and starve?     One dog dug out from under the fence, and got hit by a car.     The pet sitter won't shut the hell up, and keeps talking over Judge Judy.     Defendant claims harassment, stalking by sitting in front of her place of employment, and made reports to CPS about some kids, not hers.     I guess the idiot pet sitter is a nanny or something.        Byrd clearly wanted to beat the defendant into a bloody pulp, and if it wasn't a ratings sweeps month I'm sure the defendant Cruella Deville would have been booted out long before the end of the case.      Plaintiff gets $1,500.

Woman Leases Car for Ex-Friend-Idiot leases a Honda for the defendant, and defendant has a long history of getting cars repossessed, and that makes the plaintiff stupid.     Defendant claims she was giving rides to plaintiff, etc. , and defendant didn't have enough money for lease.    Plaintiff had car registered, and her name, and defendant's on insurance.      (This is DVR'd, so the weather service decided to tell me it's raining).       Plaintiff is whining because the defendant owes for at least on unpaid parking ticket (P.'s getting that), excess mileage  (P.'s not getting that, since she can't prove who did the mileage), and wants the defendant to pay what she agreed to.     The defendant has a weird little top bun.     The plaintiff only gets $84 for the traffic ticket and nothing else.  Defendant still doesn't think that a person who doesn't pay their bills is a bad risk, and plaintiff had a DUI after this all happened too.  

Woman Left Dying on Bathroom Floor and Wants Unpaid Rent, Medical Bills, and False Restraining Order-Plaintiff is another idiot, and thinks that defendant was going to take care of her financially forever, in return for moving with him to Las Vegas.   Defendant still has a jointly owned truck, and took motorcycle helmets.   Defendant sold the motorcycle in April, when they still lived together.    One month rent, for an apartment she was alone in for a month.    Plaintiff left his property behind in the apartment, and got evicted after she didn't pay rent for month (I suspect an extended stay or something like that).     Defendant tried to get a restraining order against plaintiff, but judge said no.       

Defendant is trying to get the truck solely in his name by refinancing.  He claims he'll see his bank to refinance when he goes back home.     He wants his name off the apartment lease, and JJ almost wets her pants laughing for obvious reasons.       Plaintiff sent a dick pic to his relatives saying he sends these to many women, and he claims she stalks him, but brings no proof.   I guess they got an apartment lease.    Plaintiff claims he left her dying on the bathroom floor, except she seems to be breathing just fine.   Unfortunately, I really wanted to know about the 'dying on the bathroom floor' but it wasn't discussed.  Plaintiff seems like a bunny boiler to me, and I hope her new fiance watched this.  Most of the extended stay places allow monthly leases too, so I bet that's what the lease was for.   Plaintiff gets $500 for the false restraining order. 

5K Credit Card Free Ride-Plaintiff stayed for two days with defendants, with her son, and I guess the male defendant is the father of her kid?   The defendant woman sounds like a guy with a very deep voice.      Plaintiff claims defendant woman borrowed her credit card.   Defendants claim the plaintiff and her son stayed with them.       Defendant woman gets $3k a month disability, and worker's comp.      Plaintiff loaned her credit card to defendant woman, and defendants claim the credit card use was in lieu of rent.    Defendant woman claims the Plaintiff was having panic attacks after assault from her boyfriend, and claims she stayed two months with her.    JJ wants texts from plaintiff that address the credit card use in lieu of rent, and the defendant man has nothing.     Plaintiff gets $5,000.       

[All Episodes Talk: Let’s Talk About Dr Phil the Show]

Since the 13 year sober woman was on Methadone when she had both younger kids, then they were born addicted?  

Some addicts do this deliberately, because that way they can take the kids' methadone.  

[House Hunters: Buying in the USA]

OK, I really hated the Melbourne fiances, and as bizarre as he seemed, the dog liked him so much better, so I'm going with the idea that the dog knows about his person. 

I hated the female fiance, and if I never hear the phrase "Kardashian Closet" again, I'll die happy.     And for someone who is MLM in the health care/fitness area, she certainly had a humongous behind, and even larger saddle bags, and I can imagine that's why she sells that kind of product online, where no one sees the large caboose she's carrying around.    My guess is she may have an 'online business', but he's paying all of the bills, and if his income drops then his love muffin will be long gone.   Hopefully, he'll keep the dog, because the dog couldn't stand her.     If this was filmed a few months ago, I'm hoping he's met someone else, dumped the wannabe Kartrashian, and moved on to someone that sees him as a person, not just a paycheck.   On another shallow note, I wonder who's paying her botox bills, because her face barely moved.      

The cute little dog certainly showed the idiot woman who was boss, and couldn't get far enough away from her.  

[Past Seasons Talk: From Seattle Grace to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital]

They're rerunning the first episodes on Lifetime again, and I watch them and realize that I loved every character in the early seasons.    Then, they ruined it with George and Izzie cheating on Callie, and rubbing her face in it.      Nothing will ever equal Cristina showing up at the hospital on her wedding day to Burke, with hair curlers, no eyebrows, and needing to do surgery.   I think my favorite episode of all time is when Bailey is having her baby, and George goes in to talk to her, and support her through her delivery, and Bailey telling him to stop looking at her vajayjay (or however it's spelled).      And the prom for Webber's niece was so heartbreaking with Denny dying, and Alex showing the real person inside his tough, ruthless outside.     And everyone helping ALex with his repeat intern exam was hysterical.   

However, I hate that Izzie and George humiliated Callie like that, and were treated like it was OK.     I can't believe I liked Mark and Lexie so much before they killed them off too.   

I think the reason Ellis took Meredith with her after the divorce is she thought Richard would come back to her, and be mad if she dumped her daughter.     And if Thatcher cared about Meredith at all, I'm sure Ellis wanted to humiliate and hurt him even more.         I never gave Thatcher any credit as the helpless dad in Meredith's case.    His first wife was a total ruler of the his universe, the second wife was the boss of that relationship too, and when both were gone he went back to drinking, ignoring Meredith except when he wanted her liver, and found another woman to boss him around.    The only person who reached out for a relationship with Meredith was the second wife, and if had been left to Thatcher that wouldn't have happened.    I'm assuming that he'll come back on the show sometime, but I wish he would just die off screen, and never be mentioned again.  

[All Episodes Talk: All Rise]

Actually, some of the unconventional challenge dresses looked a heck of a lot better than this.        I think what the plaintiff wore was ridiculous, and the wedding dress, and reception dresses were hideous, and I hope the photographer that took the wedding/reception pictures didn't have permanent eye damage from the reflection off the dresses.   And with a chest that large and saggy, nothing will look good without boning in the bodice to hoist everything up, and keep it there.     I'm a veteran of many seasons of Bridezillas, and Say Yes To The Dress, so I know this.     

I looked at the front page of Couture de Hefty's website, and she does dresses for the modest woman.   However, that stuff she did for the plaintiff was full on skank ho, and nothing modest about it.  So apparently it's virtuous, modest fashion, except when you shell out $2,500 for skank dresses. 

[Season Five Episode Talk]

I've read that Giada only tastes the tiny bit off the fork, and then spits it out.   At least Lorraine really tastes what she takes.  

[The People's Court - General Discussion]

I liked the plaintiff in the tire case, and suspect that the garage ruined the tire, and that's why they replaced it with a thread bare replacement.   

Does anyone we see on here actually have an apartment or house that actually is legal to rent?     I guess not.   I couldn't believe how much the two illegal landlords probably ripped those people off for staying in that dump of a house.    

[All Episodes Talk: All Rise]

Now you've done it.   Martha Stewart is going to show up on a certain door step, and beat the tar out of you with her strongest whisk.   If Martha Stewart had piped icing for the dress, it would look wonderful, not like the Couturier de Hefty bags dress did.  

The lamb case is fantastic, just to see how nutty the plaintiff is, and how inappropriate her plans for the lamb are.   I think the only reason the husband is in court is that he knows he'll probably have to get a tranquilizer dart for his idiot wife when she loses, and knows that JJ will never give that animal back to the loony tunes he married.  

[Small Talk: Judge's Chambers]

Years ago, the disgusting excuse for a humane society were I lived then would get a lot of expensive purebreds dumped there, or found wandering loose.      A friend's daughter volunteered there, until the shelter realized she and her family had adopted a lot of animals.  The family had connections in two states, and weren't animal hoarders, but were placing them in good homes.     One animal that was adopted, and sent to a great home was a Chinese Crested.   At this time there were very few in this country, and the animal had been a bad idea of a gift to a retiree by her family.    She didn't want the animal, so she dumped it at the shelter, and it was definitely going to be put down before it was rescued, and rehomed.     At that time we figured a quality, registered animal like this was worth well over $1,000, and I bet it would be even more now.   

[The People's Court - General Discussion]

I bet a huge reason the condo creep's getting voted off the board is that he probably snooped into everyone's business, and I bet if there was an inspection clause in the rules, that he did that personally as often as he could get away with it.    I'm betting the defendant really wishes he had shopped around more before he bought at that condo.     

 

Off topic, but when I look at potential houses or condos, I try to find out the CC&R's (rules) and list of fines,  before I even look, and see if I can find yelp reviews or comments about the place.    You can find out a lot of issues by researching before you buy.   I also try to preview a place by simply driving by, and pulling over and fake looking at a map or something, and look around and see if people seem to be friendly or not.   I bet the newsletter for the condo association in TPC case was interesting to read, with tons of picky, whiny rules, and lots of problems.     

[Season Five Episode Talk]

I find it hard to believe that the show can't find home bakers that are better than most of the ones we've had on the show.    I'm also over the freaky hair colors.   I just keep imagining finding one of those blue or neon red hairs on top of a dessert, and almost hurl.    My guess is the producers are picking contestants that are more characters, and I wish they would just go for the best qualified.   I wish more of the contestants would have their hair confined so it's not whipping around so much.      

[The Judges: Cookie Monsters]

I like Nancy's hair better this year than last year. 

I think all three judges are playing their roles that the producers hired them for.   Lorraine is the critical pro, Nancy is the flamboyant one, and Duff is the mediator.     I wish they would cut down on the bickering, and disagree much more quietly, but still talk about their own views.     I felt sorry for the pro contestant they sent home last night, but did notice the pink haired home baker was almost gone, so I hope they're not going to keep someone around to have the token home baker in the top to keep viewers.
