Today was just a bunch of liars. First the woman lied to the police about identity theft, and it was to get the cable and other financial charges dismissed, so she could clean up her credit, and buy a house. The broker needs to be in jail too if he knew about that. Of course, plaintiff couldn't get financing, moved in early, and there was no back up plan if the plaintiff didn't get financing, and no lease in writing.
I did like when Judge M. said she was sending the entire tape of her admitting she made a false police report to the local police, and district attorney. P. claims the broker never talked about renting the house, because she couldn't get financing to buy it (what a shock that wasn't). So p. gets her $4,000 for closing costs and processing fees on the house.
The idiot d. with the used car lot lets a woman buy a 2007 Nissan Murano (I think that's what they said) and drive it off the lot before he gets financing approved. She didn't even send him pay stubs until the next day, when it's discovered that her $3,500 a month income was a big fat lie. I lost interest after the car dealer was so stupid, and don't know if he got the car back from her, or if it ever got registered or insured (I'm seriously doubting that). The only funny part was how much the defendant and his grandson looked alike.
The middle case was a woman who tried to get her bus driver license, and didn't pass the test, wanting everything back from the driving school. I don't know how that came out, but hope she didn't get anything back, and hope she never passes her driving test, because she's too stupid to drive a bus. I also don't think she'll react well to the chaos on the bus either. I can just imagine her as the next bus driver busted on tape punching out a student, or getting lost in the school parking lot.

My guess Tina looks gaunt because she crash diets, and probably has yo-yoed repeatedly over the years. Since it's been acknowledged that she's battled her weight her entire life, I'm guessing she lost a lot recently, and that makes you face look drawn. Also, if you look at the jeans Tina's wearing, they are very tiny, and combined with the drawn look, she looks like she dropped a lot of weight in a hurry. She went too far down. I think the weight loss is why her top seems to be too big too.
Shelly and Dayton look so good in this picture.

So next week is the season finale in Hawaii. This could be worse for Hawaiian tourism than the volcano, and the hurricane. I can't imagine being captive on a plane with all of the screaming quints, and everyone else that the production will take along.

There are only two contestants I'm thinking will be gone soon, the two home bakers the man with the green chunk of hair, who was in the bottom two last night, and the lady with the red or pink dyed stripes. I've always wondered why they can't find home bakers that aren't better, and have competed in contests so they wouldn't be so lost in the competition.
I love the costumes Lorraine and Carla wear, and their makeup is always fabulous. Poor Zac just can't compete with those two. I like John Henson as host.
Unlike the other cake competitions, I think they're limited to having real food in the cakes or desserts, and not using rice crispy treats for everything.

I think the reason Dale and Crystal are there so often is they apparently live down the street, or at least in the same subdivision. I really think that Adam didn't quit, but I think the company was bought out, and Nick stayed, but Dale and Adam went bye-bye. Dale has a job with another company, but since Adam was sales, he might have had a severance package, and maybe a non-compete for the same area and the same oil and gas industry, so he wouldn't be able to work in the same geographic area. So they can frame it as Adam quit, but my guess is that he and Dale were outsourced when the companies combined because they were excess, and the show will frame it as Adam quitting for his wife and kids.
Not only is Nick still at the combined oil-gas company, but Ashley runs the hair salon right?
I loved the pony ride, but I bet pants would have been a better choice. You can get bad rubs riding with bare legs.
I want to go to the candy factory.
I'm glad Mimi passed her exam, and found a way to move on from her previous job. I think real estate will be a great fit for her personality, and maybe all of the publicity from the show will lead to listings. Since she's a junior agent/beginner, then she better like spending every Sunday doing open houses on listings.
I remember back in the 80's your jeans weren't tight enough unless someone could tell if the dime in your back pocket was heads or tails.

My favorite is Christmas Under Wraps, where the doctor goes to Garland, Alaska to be the community doctor, and falls in love with Santa's son. I know it's hokey, and sentimental, but it was fun even though I guessed everything that would happen. Candace Cameron Bure certainly changes her hair style and color for every role.

The one of the We Bought the Farm (I think that's what it was on) was the second season seemed to be very few episodes, but several of them were the type of people who move to the countryside to show everyone else who's farmed for generations how to do everything better. The woman in Pennsylvania that wanted to grow lavender, and have a business was so unprepared for farm life, and I'm sure she will be sitting in air conditioned comfort, directing her minions while they do the work. They'll also be selling that place in a couple of years. She should have bought a huge greenhouse, and then she could have controlled the crop better. I hate the ones (just like on House Hunters) where they want vintage, historic houses, with the open concept, blinged out kitchen, full master suite with spa bathroom, and big closets. I bet the reality of vintage homes is a big shock to a lot of these people.
I used to live near Washington, D.C. and there were a lot of realtors that sold properties to people who commuted to DC from the Shenandoah Valley, Gettysburg, and other places where they will easily spend hours a day commuting. The same realtors usually got the listing when the buyers got sick of expensive fix ups on their historic homes, and the life crushing commute.

The defendant dog owner is a psycho. She not only laughed at the plaintiff's injuries (many bites, huge bite marks, and bruises), but actually had the gall to say in the halterivew that the plaintiff had done the injuries herself to get money. I can't believe her fiance thinks marrying this psycho is a good idea.
Case is plaintiff was frequent dog and house sitter for neighbors with dog repeatedly since d. moved in September of 17. The dog is a German Shepherd with a bite history, and I bet there were more bites in it's history too. D. is marrying fiance (witness and homeowner), had her wedding dress in the car, and asked p. if she wants to see the dress. Plaintiff (Paris) says yes, and d. hauls dress out of car, and says she's going to open the dress bag inside the house, and invites the plaintiff to come see it there. . Plaintiff goes on porch, where German Shepherd with bite history is chained to porch. The dog attacks, left multiple huge bites on the woman's arm, leaving bite marks and bruises all over her arm, and I guess her torso. . Defendant starts laughing at the testimony about the woman's injuries.
Fiance steps up, and testifies that she is the homeowner, has no homeowner's insurance, and was told the dog had a bite history. The fiance/homeowner is an idiot, and could have lost everything to the neighbor. Good thing some kid wasn't peddling cookies or something, because the dog could have nailed them too. D. says dog knew her mother and daughter (dog owner has a kid), but mom lives in California, and the dog owner daughter lives in Minnesota, so I'm not sure that's true unless the dog lived at the mother's house before or something.
The dog was put down, and the defendant says that it's because the dog had cancer, but the fiance says it was because of the bites.
Judge Judy says what everyone was thinking, judging from the looks on the audience, that the defendant is an awful person, and the plaintiff will be getting $5,000, and I think her Honor would have given the plaintiff more if she could. If the plaintiff got the right lawyer, then defendant's fiance/homeowner would be homeless, and broke. The defendant is lucky they were only on national TV as idiots, and in the dog owner's case, a total psychopath, and they could easily have been an illustration showing how having a vicious dog, with a bite history can bankrupt you. I like how JJ explained that since the homeowner/fiance didn't have homeowner's insurance, that she was risking losing the house, and everything she owning having the dog around with the bite history. And what kind of idiot chains a dog on the front porch that has a history of biting? I hope animal control did a report from the poor victim's hospital visit.
Proud mama of incarcerated son, said she would pay damages to fix room son trashed at p.'s house. Homeowner had her motorcycle towed, but it wasn't where she wanted it. The motorcycle was hers anyway. P. also wants all kinds of money for motorcycle tow, and for stuff son left in room. JJ said p. didn't owe for cleaning up room, and d. didn't owe for lost stuff prisoner son left before his most recent incarceration. JJ also said the fact that d. had motorcycle towed quite a distance away, and plaintiff had to go there to pick it up was enough payback.
Rerun---I'm not even talking about the creepy hot tub landlord hitting on his much younger, and prettier former tenant. What a creep he is.
Rerun---Landscaping fees owed to long term tenant by landlord. P. wants $5k for landscaping he did, window treatments he left. JJ tells plaintiff to stuff it.
Tomorrow's rerun is the one where the woman has a huge hairy mole below her lower lip, and says the p. lost the fight because 'she didn't know how to fight'. I can't wait. I think that's the case where the two women were friendly, and then months later the defendants went where the plaintiff worked, and the woman jumped her. It was a really dust up by a couple of low class fools, fighting about a loser boyfriend.

The young couple lived in Westminster (spelling) near Huntington Beach, CA. Of course the mom of one, and grandma of another were getting evicted at the time, so the entire family sounds financially challenged. Some places will not rent to a 19 and 22 year old, even extended stay.
I think Patricia Bean was jealous of anyone who looked better than she did (I look better than she did when I get up at 3 a.m. to replace the smoke alarm batteries that again failed to chirp before shrieking), or anyone who is better liked than she is (99.9% of everyone else on earth), or anyone who isn't a loon. I'm sure everyone in the neighborhood is united in loathing her.
I think the dog owner just stomped and yelled at the dog, and didn't kick it. If she had kicked a small dog like that I think it would have been yelping or something, and it wasn't.

Tonight's episode is bizarre. My JJ comes on at 5-6 p.m., so I'm behind some others.
Idiot has his off leash French Bulldog at the grocery store, apparently in the AC car, and then lets it run off leash up to the lady with her young lab and other lab, both on leash. The lab owner yelled at the bulldog, the p. ran up to the lady, and claimed she kicked his dog. His dog was standing up, not yelping or anything, and nutso p. got right in her face and started screaming at her that she kicked his dog, and defendant claims he was right in her face out of control, and she told him to back off and she was calling the police. JJ's ruling was no money to anyone, because p. was wrong, and nuts, and d. had no damages, except nutso p. screaming in her face. Personally, if someone gets in my face like that I would prefer charges against him, but where I live the neighbors would probably rip him a new one for acting like that. Of course, p.'s mommy was trying to make excuses for him, and some other woman was there who said nothing, so I guess she wanted the free trip. I wonder if p. was stoned, or just out of control, because he was almost foaming at the mouth in court, and I bet he was scary as hell yelling at that woman. He's lucky she had labs, not german shepherds or something that wouldn't like the plaintiff screaming at her from 6" away.
A nothing case of two idiots who get a husky puppy, and p. wants to be reimbursed because the roommate wasn't into picking up puppy pee, and poop. The case was a draw again, because the d. moved with her husky. Why do people get a high energy animal, lock it in an apartment all day, and think one bathroom break at lunch is enough?
(Rerun) $1500 for a 2008 Chevy Impala? plus tires. D. claims she sold car for $6k, p. paid $1,500, and paid no more, and d. repo'd the car. Car was actually worth over $5k. The only interesting thing is p. is ex-gf of the d.'s son. D. took title loan, and still owed $1,500, and p. claims she only had to pay off title loan, and son and plaintiff were together for the last three years when he was driving the car. Son (d.'s kid) can't have anything titled in his name, because of back child support for other kids (he has one with p.). The other wrinkle is ex will get the truck from gf, but truck will stay in plaintiff's name while deadbeat son of d. has unpaid child support. So mom sold her the car for $1,500, and ex-boyfriend was getting the truck. GF has the truck back, and gets her $1,500 back, and defendant has the Impala back. Ex-gf wants money for the tires, JJ said tough. The only entertaining part is the witness for the defendant refused to shut up, and Byrd bounced him. Defendant says 'take care of your kids, because men are a dime a dozen"-including her useless son.
(Rerun)- Plaintiffs were living in their car (22 year old forklift operator, and 19 year old part time sales associate)-I remember this one. They were living in their car, because grandma and mom were getting evicted. They rented a room in the house, after living in the car for a month. They live in Westminster, near Huntington Beach, so I can see they were broke. $795 a month for 1 bedroom in the 2 bedroom apartment. Other roommate wanted them out because of continuous loud drunken arguments between plaintiffs. Defendant claims the two p. were both drinking, physically fighting, and yelling. The defendants children were there at the time too. How many people were in that damned apartment? It sounds like a clown car. The plaintiffs left, and came back and were drinking again, I guess JJ didn't pick up on the drunk 19 year old girlfriend? JJ gave them their prorated time back, so they get $387 back and $200 security deposit back. JJ told defendant counterclaim was garbage. Defendant is another get some loon off of craigslist person, and is lucky plaintiff and girlfriend weren't axe murderers.

On the people near Denver who wanted a garden, they might recall it's called the Rocky Mountains for a reason. I used to live near there, and everyone I knew with a successful garden had raised garden beds, with trucked in (meaning expensive) soil. I doubt the homeowners can afford it, and it certainly isn't a money savings.

My understanding is that when they hand you the check, there is an IRS agent and local state tax agent waiting to talk to you, and they give you the unhappy news about how much they are taking. In my case, I would have to talk to my state tax people, but they would probably arrange that through the state lottery office when they do the payments, and then send the tax statements. In reality, since my biggest win ever was $50 I don't think the IRS will be dropping by to say hello any day soon. And the taxes depend on if you take the lump sum, or if you take the annuity option of a long term annual payment.

My guess is the only thing Kem cared about was getting Carter's family money. She might have been emotional about the center being named for her son, but I'm not sure if it was because she couldn't get her hands on the money too. I'm hoping the fictional Carter had a pre-nup, but he was so naive about her being the love of his life, and the loss of the son, that I'm not betting he was sensible about that either.

I saw the bear feeding episode last night, with the added information, and they claim she's not feeding bears now, but those cat food bowls certainly were full, and I didn't see any cats running around. I think the woman thinks she's the only one who can feed the bears, and they're her friends. I'm still stunned about her saying she plays tug of war with the bear.
I'm betting that bear feeding idiot found a way to feed the bears anyway, with a feeder back in the woods or something, and then she doesn't have bird seed, and dog food near the house. The ranger is naive if he thinks that woman will ever quit, because she thinks the bears are her friends.
I read about a park ranger, and he said that the saddest cases they had were the bears that were fed by people, weren't afraid of them, and stopped hunting. In one case the bear was relocated to the other end of the park, and came back a couple of hundred miles to the same feeding place, and eventually was destroyed. It was because of idiots like this woman.

That's really smart to pull up a corner that will probably not have damage, but I'm sure when the entire rug is removed, you can see the wear, and the big stains. I'm amazed when they can refinish, and there are big stained areas and they keep raving about how good it looks.
Since I'm positive they are using this house as a stepping stone property, they should have gone to a distributor that was getting rid of a big lot of flooring at cheaper prices. Some big retailers for flooring also have limited selection, but huge discounts because they buy so much, and that's a lot less than what the homeowners on the show probably paid for the floor they put in.
That dining room color just made the room look smaller than it was, and so dark. I bet that color soaked up any light in the room at night too.
-
I'm guess the sellers are pulling up a corner of the rug to show there are hardwoods under the nasty carpet. On the first one I had to laugh when the wife walked into the enclosed porch with a huge laundry sink, and said she would put the washer/dryer out there.
So they bought the third one at $610,000. And asbestos, not a surprise to anyone, and framing issues is very predictable for a house that old. And spend 65k on renovations? 675k before anything starts, I'm sure the budget will have surprise extras.
I hate how they always spend extra on something like the big marble bath tile, when there are ceramic and porcelain that would never stain, and look just as good, and be a lot cheaper. The gray/brown accent wall in the dining area was ugly. I find it hard to believe they only went $10k over budget. I was so sick of hearing about his spice area, and had to laugh at the pull out spice cabinet that kitchen cabinet companies have sold for years.
That is such a tiny house for close to $700k. I'm sure they're not staying too long, just until they make a big profit on it, and move to something bigger.

I can't wait either. I love how the judges have those fantastic costumes, especially Carla's.

Didn't Jeanetta, aka That Slut, have some kind of medical background too? I think something was said about that, and that's why she told the 911 operator the cut wasn't life threatening. I just hope the neighbor was OK after her attempt. I think PB also tried to get the officer to change his report later too. And she brought her young granddaughter to court, and Byrd took her outside.

I loved the interior of the first house, especially the kitchen and master bath. The tiki bar was nice, and the pool was great too. I'm glad they could get the extra land across the street. I loved how the couple, and their daughter looked so happy.
The second house without the pool wasn't my favorite. Landscaping that yard, even if just around the house, and building a pool, and outdoor kitchen, and tiki bar would have cost a fortune. I didn't like the house either.
I loved the pool on the third house, but I do understand not wanting to maintain five acres of horse property, and barns.

I usually tape this when it's a new episode, so I skipped this week. I just looked and it's supposed to be a new episode tonight.

Maybe Jinelle was part of the nutritionist situation, because my understanding is that HIPAA (spelling?) only applies when it's the patient, and no outsider present, so Jinelle wouldn't be a confidentiality issue.
-
My understanding is that anyone living in the apartment over 18 must sign the lease, because they are legal tenants. Minors aren't financially responsible, since they can't sign a legal contract.
There are exceptions I've been told about, like student loans contracts are enforceable, and signed by a minor are still enforceable. In Alabama I found out that you have to be 19 to be on a mortgage, and I found that out with the buyers for my last house, a big dust up occurred.

I almost forgot about that sad case too. It was obvious that the ex cared more about his death, than his mother did. With some people it's all about the money.

Brandy Sears was also interviewed with the Governor again after the house rebuild. Any publicity that might lead to more volunteers, and help for these poor people is good, and it's a great human interest story too.

OutDaughtered - General Discussion
in OutDaughtered
So Adam's going to morph his job loss (the company now has another name, and Dale has another job too) into "I'm quitting for my family". He also said something about a business working from home, and I want to know how locking yourself away in the house is going to give you more time with the kids? A successful online business isn't run in an hour or two a day while you go on every errand, school dropoff, and appointment your kids need. And how are they going to get health insurance without a group plan making it affordable?
Since TLC has back up plans (Sweet Home Sextuplets or whatever it's called) and probably other shows with multiples, the Busbys might want to rethink giving up on a very well paying career field for some kind of home business. Their girls are getting out of the cute baby stage, and when they start resorting to vacations and outings all of the time, then they're running out of ideas. I'm hoping the local public schools won't allow filming when they get to kindergarten age. Unless the Busby's find a private school that wants publicity like the preschool did.
