    What is the “Enid” reference people make. 

     Enid Winterton, née Turner is the young wife of the wealthy Joshua Winterton. Enid Turner was once the ambitious lady's maid of Bertha Russell.   (did a little research for this, since she is rarely called by her first name)

    The scene between the strikers and military men was intense. And I’m surprised George has a heart after all. 
     

    I told Mr. Marleyfan that George's heart grew 3 sizes that day.  Just like the Grinch who stole Christmas.

    Josh & Anna Smuggar: A Series of Unfortunate Events

    in Counting On

    I'm sorry I'm so late for this.  According to the National Center for Prosecution of Child Abuse, the Child Maltreatment Act in Arkansas states that a school counselor, official or teacher is required to report any "abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, sexual exploitation or abandonment of a child" that the become aware of.  Wouldn't "teacher" also mean homeschool teachers.  I also found this about homeschooling:    Homeschooling is not allowed in Arkansas if a sex offender lives in the home. The state does not require any specific teacher qualifications, does not require minimum hours of instructions or mandated subjects, and does not require student assessments such as testing or evaluations.

    But they’ve seen it all and aren’t going to be fooled by dumb Duggar excuses like oh I didn’t know there was wifi at that rental house when I picked up Jed’s phone, I just wanted to see the weather blah blah. Or oh no this isn’t my phone, Anna didn’t get me this, Jason carries 2 phones blah blah.

    I have a feeling that Josh is going to violate his parole and end back in jail

    Can eighteen year olds sign a legally binding lease? Because JJ asked all three girls how old they were, and both defendants said they were eighteen. If they're too young to drink, are they too young to sign contracts obligating them to pay rent?

     In all states, the age requirement to sign a contract is 18 years of age.

    Yesterday's case with plaintiff wanting money back from a painter -- I'm not sure how I feel about JJ's decision.  Plaintiff went for a low bid on the work (I think it was around $4K) from a man who painted as a side job.  High bids were in the $6K range. 

    Plaintiff didn't like the work and ended up hiring another painter.  The defendant admitted that he (his crew) didn't do a good job, but that didn't matter to JJ, because plaintiff ended up spending about the same amount of money to get the job done.  She wasn't "out" any money so JJ awarded her nothing.

    So there are no consequences to defendant for doing a crap job.  He gets to keep what he was paid.  ??  I think JJ just didn't like the plaintiff.

    I thought she paid the first guy $2K up front. Then she found a guy who finished the job for $3K.  She wanted the money back that she paid to guy #1.  JJ was trying to explain to the plaintiff that she was already ahead in the game, paying $5K for a job that would have cost her in the high $6K range.

    I loved JJ's passionate tirade that a new SSA chief would be on board soon and how disability, foster care and other payments should be suspended while people are in jail. She does piss me off sometimes, but she has it right a lot of the times.

    I worked the Medicare call center for years.  We would get lots of calls for claims being denied because the beneficiary was incarcerated on the date of service.  When I worked billing for an ambulance company, we got the same kind of rejections from Medicare, too.

    I was involved in a car accident yesterday that really had me sweating for a while. I was waiting to turn out of a parking lot and a kid in his early 20's driving a beater turned left into the parking lot right in front of another car. Other car t-boned him, which pushed him into the front of my truck. All the years of JJ flashed through my head and I was sure the dumbass didn't have insurance. It was so refreshing to find out I was wrong! No one was hurt and my truck is drivable until it gets a new bumper, new lenses for the headlight and turn signal and maybe a new quarter panel. But, shit like this is why I have full coverage on a 2003 Toyota Tacoma (Yes, JJ. People do carry full coverage on old rigs). I'm glad my rates won't go up but also nice to know I could have it repaired if the idiot was driving around without insurance.

    I also carry full coverage on my 2006 Forrester.  I know JJ has scoffed that no one with a 10 year old car carries full coverage. There are 3 colleges in this small town, and the odds are high that some of these kids don't have insurance.

    Say What?: Commercials That Made Us Scratch Our Heads

    In the last few days, I've seen two commercials for The Church of Scientology. From what I remember, there's pictures of smiling people, a building or two, and then the words Church of Scientology.  I don't know why they are advertising. Low attendance? Has anyone else seen this commercial?

    I was watching a rerun today about a woman taking a baseball bat to someone's car. Judge Judy went on and on about there was no reason to have a baseball bat in a car unless your child played baseball. This bothers me. I have no children and there is ALWAYS a baseball bat in my car. Children and pets get locked in hot cars almost every day it seems. That's why I have a bat, and brick in my car at all times.

    ___When their dad retired or when he died? ____ Sorry, can't figure out copy and paste on Kindle. My dad retired at 62 when his company closed down. He had worked there 29 years. My kid sister was still in high school. She got Social Security checks until she became an adult. Mom got benefits, too. She never held down a full time job because she was raising 6 kids. My best friend's husband was approved for disability for metastasized cancer. Their daughter was not even 9 at the time and she received payments until she was 18 even though her mother worked full time. Social Security isn't a hand out, it is earned. I paid into it for over 45 years and I earned every penny.

    I missed Judge Judy, too. I think this was the first time in years that it wasn't preempted for something trivial like blizzards or tornados that had no chance of hitting my area. Glued to the TV, I had eye surgery the day before. I can't get my eye wet for a week. So very, very hard to do. I'm sure this post is off topic. I came here to see if someone was in a different time zone and watched it. And to pay my respects. Edited due to damned autocorrect.

    I have a theory about the repeated postings/removals from Josh yesterday. I think somewhere between the first and the third one, JB was clutching Josh by the throat, yelling "is there ANYTHING more we need to know??? Do you have ANYTHING else you need to drop?" Those releases just gave me the vibe that the "stuff" flying around wasn't a total-all-at-once dump. I'm not sure anyone (but Josh) knew the whole truth when the first one came out .

    Sorry, but I still don't know how to copy and paste on Kindle....I wonder if the next ANYTHING is going to be a paternity suit against Josh. Add that to the molestation case,JimBoob will probably have a coronary.
