Yes it is. What I've highlighted is correct, but there's more to community property laws than what happens after marriage: In community property states, the following is separate property: gifts given to one spouse (during the marriage); property either spouse owned before the marriage and kept separate during the marriage, and; inheritances.

Or, Gabe could have had enough alcohol in him and is the kind of person who doesn't behave well inebriated, and could have started a fight, per icemiser69's possible scenario.

California is a community property state. Upon marriage, what's yours is the other spouses, and vice versa, in the eyes of the law. Unless there is a prenuptual agreement properly executed. The Golden Girls, yes, Dorothy!

Who wouldn't put it past Tom Cruise to not sneak up on someone from behind with a baseball bat, or start bashing them while they're sleeping?

Another TIU screw up: Thanks to Google, I learned that blueberries are in season July 10 - August 10 in Pennsylvania. I've not known blueberry pies to be popular in the Christmas/New Year season either.

I'm really excited for this upcoming episode! I want to find out what happened to Nicky, why Jack didn't tell anyone, with the possible exception that Rebecca knew. The stories of what happened to all the service members who were lucky enough to come back from Viet Nam are interesting to me. And, Griffin Dunne. :D It's a two part story, so lots of drama to come.

How to shut down the Randall political storyline: Since Randall won the election, his ego has been stroked so now it's time for him to move on to the Next Big Thing. I think it's a possibility that the show will have Randall decide he's already put his family aside enough and will resign the position, leaving Brown to be able to pick up the pieces in Philly and continue on as usual. Maybe Randall can help out once in a while. This way the whole family doesn't move to Philadelphia.

This is why you don't sell off your spouse's stuff. The jump to you have to sell all of YOUR stuff bothered me. I, like everyone else, is glad Gabe didn't go for the Pearson speech bait and stood his ground. He bought the items fair and square. The only thing I do feel bad about is that Toby lost his action figures, but he should have been more proactive and verbally told Kate they weren't to be sold. Maybe Kate has realized she's gone to the sob story well one too many times and there's no more water in it. I have a prediction about Randall winning the election which I will take to the Speculations thread.

Hopefully Darci Lynne will be smart enough to stay away from the shitshow that is SNL. JMHO.

DJ was staying home with a cold or the flu, which Mark wanted to stay away from so he wouldn't get sick, and Harris inhaled DJ's scarf hoping she would get sick so she could stay out of school. Darlene was tending to DJ with an old can of soup that may or may not have been contaminated with food poisoning.

No way is this incarnation of AGT, The Champions, not scripted, rigged, and just downright foolish to keep talking about Superfans who nobody knows. They should call them the Super Secret Fans. One fan per state? Doesn't make sense that one Superfan is going to represent all of California or New York and one represents lower and the lowest populated states. I'm only watching this for the entertainment value and to see the acts I didn't get to see before. I loved seeing Susan Boyle again, and since "Wild Horses" is one of my all-time favorite songs, I'll take it! Darci Lynne certainly does not need this show; having her back is like icing on the cake. It would be interesting if she eventually ditches a Vegas ventriloquist show and goes out as a solo singer or fronting a group. Courtney. By now she should have ditched the long-overused shy and nervous routine. I don't think she has a great voice, to me she is a novelty act. The mosh pit and guitar player posing antics were a bit much; like we're at a real rock concert? C'mon! I love all of the dog and cat acts.

The Superfans, whoever they may be, still got Courtney Hadwin to the top three. Thankfully she didn't win. I was impressed only because in the end it was revealed that her song was an original, which made me feel better that I hadn't missed something because, like Howie said, I'd not heard that song. It's hard to see Darci Lynne get cut out of this Champions go-through. She was amazing tonight and she's really blossoming into quite a lovely young lady. I only started watching AGT in 2017, so I missed a lot of these acts and am happy to be introduced to them now. I love, love, love Piff the Magic Dragon and Mr. Piffles! I really loved the other dog act too. Ashleigh and Sully (RIP to Pudsey). Cristina Ramos was winner material, just for her outfit alone. I thought the Golden Buzzer going to the Deadly Games couple was fair, as that was a very dangerous act and was beautifully presented.

Good for you! You won't regret it.

Please either make that cheese softer or the red paddle cheese spreading spoon harder. Idiots!!! :D

You're correct, it is called a contingency fee case (or contingent fee) where the attorney takes a percentage of the settlement or jury (or judge's) verdict. The client still has to pay for expenses though, such as court filing fees and costs.

Oh yeah....! Does David pay anything for the support of his children? Good thought there. Darlene should've been all over that by telling Dan (not Mark because he's the child) she will ask David to help pay for Mark's art school.

This, plus by the way, DJ has been in therapy for the past two years, per Geena. DJ touched on his "problems" after coming back from the war zone, but the show didn't put much into that.

Exactamente. Unless it was a family business and substitute workers would be covered under the company's liability insurance, the vending company had no obligation to pay for Dan's medical bills. This would be covered under Workers' Compensation (and no, it's not Workmen's Compensation anymore) and since Dan Conner isn't an employee, he isn't covered. There is a thing about the vending machine not being bolted to the wall properly though. Perhaps that's why the vending company head honcho agreed to pay for half of Dan's medical bills. A counter-suit would not have gone very well because the company was negligent in not bolting the vending machine to the wall properly, which leaves anyone vulnerable to injury or death if it falls on them. The fact that Dan was wrangling (I'm guessing) with the machine was partly his negligence in doing the job of an employee without the employer's knowledge and consent.

I agree about Darlene. She doesn't have room to criticize and the snark about turning out like Becky was pot meet kettle to me. I still enjoy Jackie though!

I don't believe for a minute that any law enforcement verified that Shelly Miscavige is alive. The sighting of a disoriented, disheveled Shelly in a store up in the mountains of San Bernardino is not proof of anything either. The last thing Shelly did was question David and try to change things on her own. She was a threat to the Co$'s status quo and God only knows where she is, dead or alive (except whoever murdered her).

It's about time we learn more about Beth! Phylicia Rashad looks like a great casting choice and will no doubt be an asset to TIU. Looking forward to more Beth, less William flashbacks.

I'm one of the few people on Earth who haven't watched "Mad Men" (yet?) so I don't know Ms. Brie from Eve. I just posted the article because no one else had done so and it involves Chrissy. I watched and listened to the video and they conveniently bleeped out the allegedly offending word, even though that word is used freely on network TV nowadays. That is suspect to me, and I don't believe Ms. Metz is stupid enough to call someone a bitch in public with a microphone attached to her head, whether she thought it was on or off. She didn't look like she hated on her, so... Apparently Brie and Metz are buds, or at least cordial with no hard feelings. That's wonderful!

Those were the good old days, and we didn't even know how good we had it, such great sitcoms.

So do I! What a great show that was. Every crime is a possible hate crime unless it involves two or more straight white males. :/ ETA: Who are non-religious or Christian. Any crime against a person of any other religion is a hate crime.
