Reading through the thread I realized I'm once again in the minority. I was reading the pages about how a lot of you think Javi is a good guy, doesn't deserve this etc. I'm the exact opposite. Karma is slapping Javi upside the head and I for one am glad. I can't forget the shit he happily partnered with Karl and did to Jo. Right down to video taping Jo in the front yard of Jo's own home. He willingly participated in trying to alienate Jo from Isaac, he talked major shit about how Jo doesn't take care of his son etc etc. So no, I do not think he's a good guy and I think he's getting exactly what he deserves. Edit: I've never been to Starbucks (and never will) but at places like it, I just use the name Ann. Nice and simple.

@alexa, I've never seen anything nice or normal with these two idiots. Starting from the first day of their relationship to today. Never saw any nice or normal.

I get that, a lot of people aren't demonstrative but with an event as emotional as their first child's birth, I was waiting for a pat on the back, a loving look, anything but they acted like 2 strangers. Very strange to me.

How do you find things at the dump? I've been to a few dumps in my life and you're not allowed to walk around and pick stuff at any that I've been to. You dump your garbage and move along. Besides that, they're so gross. I don't care what I might find, the idea of picking through garbage grosses me out. I've always wondered how people are allowed into the dumps. Are you guys talking about the crate that some idiot wrapped in thick, gray yarn and called it lighting? That thing was so damn ugly.

Shit, I'd rather have 10 Malaysias instead of 1 Jackie or 1 Tami. I can't stand those two. I hate how that too old to be acting like this Tami blames the people she attacks for pushing her to that level. Bitch, it's nobody's fault but your own.

And her mom seems whacked out on something every time they show her. I saw a lot of dysfunction in Amber's family.

I'm so happy that I don't watch this shit anymore. Just reading about what Jenelle and that Neanderthal are doing to Barb is making my blood boil. I hope karma hits Jenelle so hard and I hope it's captured on film. That is an episode I would watch. My parents were neglectful alcoholics, my older brothers were the favored children and I pretty much raised myself. Watching them beat the hell out of each other was a weekly occurrence for me, if the other wasn't around for them to smack around, I got the pleasure of being their victim. I was pretty much forgotten. I learned to cook at age 12 and bought food with my babysitting money and cooked it myself, there's a lot more that happened but I'll spare you. All that said, I still would never treat my mother the way this bitch treats Barb. I would also have to bitch slap anybody else who tried to speak badly to or about her. I don't believe in heaven and hell but I do believe in karma and I hope she hits Jenelle square in the face. I hate Jenelle and can't stand Karl so I just can't watch anymore. Briana doesn't bother me as much as she does some people and I don't mind watching her because at least there's nothing like Jenelle in her scenes. I like Chelsea but that's not enough to make me want to watch. I found out last week that I'm going to be a grandma for the 3rd time so I also can't watch what Ali is going through. You guys are all stronger than I am to keep watching it. My blood pressure steadily rises after the opening credits and by the end, my head is about to explode.

I'm so sorry. I truly hope I didn't offend you. I just see so many ridiculous names and I feel so bad for the kids who will have to spell their name every day of their lives. I am one of those people. My name is a traditional name but it has an I where a Y should be and I hate it. Everybody spells my name wrong and I always have to spell it. I never had anything personalized like my friends did and it sucked. It still sucks as an adult when I constantly have to spell it. Wow. Reading what you all pay for daycare makes me so happy that I'm available to watch my grandkids while my daughter and son in law work. I figure I'm home anyway and I love spending time with the kids so why should they have to pay so much to have strangers watch them? My daughter shows her appreciation in so many ways, I never feel like they're taking advantage of me. I'm glad that I can do it.

I'll sign up for that. I don't drink alcohol but I love my bong. I can't drive either so I'll pay for the gas if I can come along.

@MissMel, I'm an atheist but you and that family are all in my thoughts. I've been in your position and I'm so sorry for everyone involved. I've heard that most of today's heroin addicts were first addicted to opiate pain medicine. I had a bad accident a couple of years ago and will be on time released morphine for the foreseeable future and I'm terrified of becoming addicted. I even went to Narcotics Anonymous and got a sponsor to keep me on the straight and narrow. Addicts aren't bad people and I hope your friend can get and wants help. People don't realize how extremely easy it is to become addicted and how it's so very hard to stop. I haven't had alcohol since 12/29/85 and even after all these years, I still get cravings on occasion. I hope everything will be ok, just don't give up on the addict. I feel bad now that I came to post something frivolous. I'll wait for a more appropriate time. Edited to say, MissMel, I have to thank you for saying "if you're a praying person"... I appreciate that so much. I hate when people assume that everyone believes the same as them. Thank you.

I've seen some items in this show that are absolutely ridiculous. I know I've said this before but I just don't understand the "distressed" look. Somebody will buy something that has chipped paint and is just beat all to hell. I think "wow, that'll look nice once they sand and paint it" but they don't sand or paint it. They just throw some varnish over the ugly chipped paint. Same goes for the rusty metal items. I don't understand why somebody would pay good money for something that looks like it was pulled out of a dumpster. I think I've seen every episode and have only seen maybe 2 or 3 things that I would want in my house. Especially for the ridiculous prices these people ask for. Most of the things I've seen are really ugly. Put some rusted old drawers inside an ugly chipped cabinet and call it a kitchen island. I've cancelled the show from my DVR. Lara just interferes too much and it drives me crazy. In a recent one I watched she picked an item out for a team that they weren't even looking at, then told them what to do with it, then haggled for them. I'm the work shop shell tell them not to do what they planned but do something else instead. I love it when they ignore her. She just seems really full of herself. Edited to say that I guess I haven't seen every episode because I still haven't seen that damn antler topped jewelry box.

No, don't be sorry! I'm sure everyone except for me knows what that means. It just seems like every day there's a new acronym and I really miss whole words. It's not you it's me.

What does ooc mean? I can't say it enough... I miss words so much.

She also uses "cool" and "amazing" way too much.

I agree about the affection between Jeff and Gage. I kept waiting for them to hug or something while their baby was being born but there was nothing. I know a lot of people aren't demonstrative but I expected a little more between them during such an emotional event.

I can't wait for this. The original is so much better than Med. I would give anything for Fugs to work under Kate and try the bullshit she pulled on Hannah. Kate would bury her.

Wow. All I see is the humor in a TV commercial.

Every time I see that this thread has new posts, I worry that Jinger is pregnant. It sounds weird but I'm really proud of her for going this long without being pregnant. I wonder how often her family pressures her about it, I'm sure they've been on her ass since they came back from their honeymoon. I hope they're using all kinds of birth control so they don't have kids until they want them. Jinger has been my favorite since this shit show started. I was the 11th person to register at the Free Jinger site. I've just always seen a spark in her that I've never seen in any of the other kids. It also kind of breaks my heart that Joy is already pregnant. She's just a kid herself.

I noticed that a lot with the microwave. She would always put stuff in without opening or venting it, and push the buttons but it never came on. They could have at least had it light up or something so it looked a little more realistic.

So what if it's a name she's heard a lot before?! I'm positive a kid would much prefer a normal name than a name that that they'll have to spell for the rest of their lives. I feel so bad for kids who's parents pick trendy names. I hate seeing made up names with stupid spellings, names with a Y where there should be an I and vice versa. Those poor kids will have to spell their names to every person they come across for the rest of their lives. I think it's mean to give a kid a name like that. I know somebody who was going to name their kid Tynli, we were so happy that she changed her mind and gave the kid a normal name. I'm sure the kid will be happy once she hears what her name could have been.

Judd is in the top 3 of my most hated Real World people. I couldn't stand the guy. One of the things I remember that sticks out in my mind is when they went to Hawaii. Some of the girls jumped off a cliff but Judd was too chicken shit to try it. Even though he was too scared to try it, he had no problem telling the girls how to do it and what they did wrong after. He was a wussy little know it all. He did many they that annoyed me but that is what jumps to my mind first when I think about it. He just creeped me out. It's hard to think of Pam and Judd as a Real World couple when we never saw them be a couple on the Real World. I remember Pam and her boyfriend.

I'd also love to see where she said this. I remember every other one of these girls threatening to leave multiple times but have never once heard Chelsea say it. I haven't watched the past couple of seasons and only keep up with the show and the girls here but I've never seen it.

She also said it was a "love tap" she gave Tom when in reality she was grabbing his face in anger. I don't blame any of the other women for not believing a word that comes out of her mouth. Call me an asshole if you want but I feel no sympathy for Luann whatsoever. Not a speck of sympathy. After calling the other women jealous repeatedly and rubbing her "great relationship" in their faces, I think she got exactly what she deserved. After all of her gushing about how happy she was and how much in life she be she and Tom were, I'm happy that she's humiliated now.

Jon doesn't really have to do anything to feed, clothe and house the kids. Kate should leave the house and Jon could move in and take care of the kids. The kids are the ones who earned the money to pay for everything anyway so Jon could just slide in and take over. He did all the work when they were babies, he can take over and do it again. I'm sure she's poisoned them against him but from what I hear, a number of them want to live with Jon. The reason Jon didn't pursue custody through the courts is simple. At the time, the kids were making a lot of money for Kate and TLC and she would have had their money and lawyers backing her up. Jon never stood a chance as long as those kids were pulling in ratings. That's all they are to Kate, possessions who make money for her. At least a while ago, Jon saw that all of this was damaging the kids and tried to stop it, once again Kate and TLC would never have let that happen. I don't see why having a dj job is a bad thing. He's making money and there's nothing illegal about what he's doing. What is their mother doing to earn money to support the kids? Nothing. She's sitting on her ass and her kids are, as always earning the money.
