A comedian from Canada, Katherine Ryan, said when she heard Khloe had a show called Revenge Body she thought it was about her getting in shape, earning a spot in the NBA and beating Lamar at his own game. LOL

The human error factor concerns me somewhat but not the vaccines themselves, if that makes sense. I was born in 1950 so I'm old enough to remember the debuts of the Salk and Sabin vaccines when polio was a big damn deal. Between polio hysteria and hiding under my desk or snuggling my face against a curb during atomic bomb drills in elementary school I was a very anxious kid! I couldn't figure out how sheets of newspaper could protect me against the blasts they showed us in the scary movies we watched in the cafeteria. But no one could tell me how thick water is so I was pretty sure, or hoped, that most adults were full of shit. Polio surged in spring and summer and was thought to be airborne or transmitted when people were swimming but the exact dynamic was a mystery. Now we know that the cause is inhalation of airborne particles or fecal material containing the virus entering the mouth. It can be spread for 2 weeks after incubation without symptoms in the carriers. My grandparents built a pool in their backyard in 1956 (SoCal woo hoo) because they refused to let us swim in public pools; we were allowed to swim only in their pool or in the ocean, no lakes or streams or rivers. (I guess the theory was that salt water was safe). The 1954 breakthrough vaccine, the Salk vaccine, was an injectable made with killed virus. The manufacturer who supplied the western states in the US unknowingly distributed a batch which contained remnants of live virus. Enough virus remained to cause infection with 40,000 of 200,000 injections given (20%) and 10 deaths. The vaccine was not pulled from distribution until 250 active cases had been reported but the damage had been done by then and they determined later that 100,000 doses contained live virus. When paralysis appeared it occurred in the limb where the injection was given so that was a huge clue. We lived in a western state obviously (Cali) and, stroke of luck, my mother had refused the Salk vaccine when it debuted because she wanted to "wait and see." (See my mother's and grandmother's experience below re that outlook). We were not vaccinated until 1961 when the Sabin oral sugar cube vaccine became available. It was so safe and successful that it is still used today (60 years later). I clearly remember standing in a long, long line in a breezeway at our local mall, slowly making our way to the card tables covered with tiny cups containing sugar cubes. Transmitted primarily via feces but also through airborne droplets from person to person, polio took six to 20 days to incubate and remained contagious for up to two weeks after. The disease had first emerged in the United States in 1894, but the first large epidemic happened in 1916 when public health experts recorded 27,000 cases and 6,000 deaths - roughly a third in New York City alone. After rabies and smallpox, polio was only the third viral disease scientists had discovered at the time, writes David Oshinksi in Polio: An American Story. But a lot remained unknown. Some blamed Italian immigrants, others pointed to car exhausts, a few believed cats were to blame. But its long incubation period, among other things, made it difficult even for experts to determine how the virus transferred. The prevalence of polio in late spring and summer popularized the “fly theory,” explains Vincent Cirillo in the American Entomologist. Most middle-class Americans tended to associate disease with flies, dirt and poverty. And the seasonal surge of the disease in summer and apparent dormancy in winter matched the rise and fall of the mosquito population. After World War II, Americans doused their neighborhoods, homes and children with the highly toxic pesticide DDT in the hope of banishing polio, Elena Conis reports in the journal Environmental History. Yet, the number of cases grew larger each season. There were 25,000 cases in 1946 - as many as in 1916, writes Oshinski - and the number grew almost every year up to its peak of 52,000 in 1952. There were signs of hope. The 1930s had seen significant improvements in the iron lung, a negative pressure chamber that could assist the breathing process for severely paralyzed patients. The March of Dimes organization campaigned aggressively to fund the development of a vaccine. The Journal of Pediatrics, parenting guru Benjamin Spock, every expert and most editorial boards warned against irrational “polio hysteria.” And yet, Oshinski tells us, headlines and images of polio victims were familiar features on the front pages in the summer months. American parents were petrified. A 1952 survey found that Americans feared only nuclear annihilation more than polio. The random pattern the disease struck made parents feel helpless, along with the lack of a cure. As middle-class parents saw it, something like this was not supposed to happen. Infectious disease had been the leading cause of death in 1900, it was no longer in 1950. They had survived the Great Depression, fought and won World War II, and returned safely from a dangerous world. Oshinski shares this recollection of a journalist from that time: “Into this buoyant postwar era came a fearsome disease to haunt their lives and to help spoil for those young parents the idealized notion of what family life would be. Polio was a crack in the fantasy.” https://www.history.com/news/polio-fear-post-wwii-era - - - My maternal grandmother lost the younger of her two daughters (6-year-old Joan) in Tulsa during the Great Depression when sulfa drugs, the forerunners of antibiotics, were a bona fide miracle. The local drug store sold her a bottle of a raspberry-flavored elixir which was not correctly manufactured and Joan died in agony. But the current Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act was created after the publicity and outrage surrounding more than 100 deaths resulting from that bad batch of sulfanilamide, mostly children. My grandmother told me that a pharmacist in Oklahoma committed suicide because of the part he played. It's sad to know that Joan rests in a lonely grave in Tulsa because my grandmother was buried in SoCal 40 years later. On the third page down at the link is an excerpt from a letter my grandmother wrote to FDR. After she died I found the tablet she used to compose her letter, making many edits until she was satisfied. She went on to have a series of nervous breakdowns and spent more money than she could afford going to seances, trying to communicate with Joan's spirit. Her best little dress and shoes hung on the wall for many years. My grandmother actively grieved for an unhealthy length of time and became a very fearful person. Her sisters, my great aunts, told me she was never the same after Joan's death. She eventually turned her back on organized medicine and became a Christian Scientist for the rest of her life. She took us to doctors but would not go for herself. Short-sighted to be sure but understandable, considering her trauma and guilt. The rest of my mother's childhood (and much of her life) was miserable because she felt like (perhaps was made to feel like) an undeserving survivor and people didn't know from counseling in those days. I always knew that my mother didn't like me and I didn't know why. I turned myself inside out trying to please her. When I was in my thirties I found out that when I was born and brought home from the hospital my grandmother said "Look at this child, Joan has come back to us." My great aunt Lucille told me she had to leave the room because of the look on my mother's face, and she feared that I faced a rough road. My relationship with my mother made sense after I heard that story and I wished I had known it sooner. Taste of Raspberries, Taste of Death - The 1937 Elixir Sulfanilamide Incident By the 1930s it was widely recognized that the Food and Drugs Act of 1906 was obsolete, but bitter disagreement arose as to what should replace it. By 1937 most of the arguments had been resolved but Congressional action was stalled. Then came a shocking development - the deaths of more than 100 people after using a drug that was clearly unsafe. The incident hastened final enactment in 1938 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the statute that today remains the basis for FDA regulation of these products. Victims of Elixir Sulfanilamide poisoning - many of them children being treated for sore throats - were ill about 7 to 21 days. All exhibited similar symptoms, characteristic of kidney failure: stoppage of urine, severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, stupor, and convulsions. They suffered intense and unrelenting pain. At the time there was no known antidote or treatment for diethylene glycol poisoning. In a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a woman described the death of her child: "The first time I ever had occasion to call in a doctor for [Joan] and she was given Elixir of Sulfanilamide. All that is left to us is the caring for her little grave. Even the memory of her is mixed with sorrow for we can see her little body tossing to and fro and hear that little voice screaming with pain and it seems as though it would drive me insane. ... It is my plea that you will take steps to prevent such sales of drugs that will take little lives and leave such suffering behind and such a bleak outlook on the future as I have tonight." http://gmptrainingsystems.com/files/u1/pdf/Sulfanilamide_article.pdf Joan's photo with her Shirley Temple curls is on this page. Although the first fatalities due to Elixir Sulfanilamide did not occur in Oklahoma, elixir-related deaths there were the first to be recognized on a national scale thanks to the early-warning efforts of Tulsa physicians. FDA Station Chief Hartigan and Junior Inspector Donaldson, who were dispatched to the city on October 15th, learned that more than six gallons (6.625) of Elixir Sulfanilamide had been distributed from Massengill’s Kansas City, Missouri, branch to 18 drug stores among nine communities within the state. In their canvass of recipient drug stores, the FDA men discovered that less than half of the elixir had been returned intact to the manufacturer as a result of Massengill’s recall wires. The agents’ responsibility, therefore, became to locate the whereabouts of the outstanding volume (more than 3-1/2 gallons), which had been used, they would learn, to fill 38 prescriptions for 39 Oklahomans. These prescriptions were ultimately determined to have caused the deaths of 11 residents, including eight children. Joan Marlar (right), the six-year-old daughter of R. R. Marlar and Maise Nidiffer, from Tulsa, died on October 5th at the city’s Morningside Hospital. The girl’s death was reported publicly in a brief funeral notice by the Tulsa Tribune on October 7th, before the lethality of Elixir Sulfanilamide became known. From the girl’s mother, Hartigan learned that Dr. Logan Spann had prescribed Elixir Sulfanilamide on September 26th, as treatment for a sore throat, and that the prescription was “sent out” from the Getman Drug Store and cost $1. After consuming a total of one half of the three-ounce treatment, the girl was hospitalized with anuria. Death was initially attributed to “streptococcus nephritis.” The child was buried in Rose Hill Cemetery on October 7th. During their investigation, Hartigan and Donaldson discovered that Dr. Spann had deliberately destroyed the pharmacy record of Joan’s elixir prescription. In December of 1937, Joan’s mother received $1,250 from the Massengill company as compensation for Joan’s death. https://bmartinmd.com/eos-deaths-oklahoma/

My sister and I are grateful for our warm and cozy home, full bellies, able bodies and fur babies. We are blessed. Sending holiday greetings to all in our little community which is a pleasure to visit 8 days a week. Check out this snow fight in France in 1897, restored and colorized. Uh oh, the dude on the bicycle!

Someone recommended the new Bee Gees documentary and I can't find your post to thank you. Omigosh, so glad I watched it! This doc is two years old and I never heard of it, no idea how it got past me. We meet a DJ who was invited to accompany the first American tour. He refused but management insisted that he accept the assignment. Before he left his father pulled him aside and said "Watch your back. These men are a menace to society." LOL. My stepdad opened his first record store when he came home after WWII and he stayed in the music business until he died in the late '80s. By the late '60s he was so sick of hearing me talk about the Beatles and my predictions about their place in society that he destroyed my albums and broke my transistor radio. A little while before he died 20 years later (long after he and my mom divorced) he called me and said "I thought about you recently when I heard the Beatles in the grocery store and an elevator and I realized that you were right." He apologized while telling me he that he sold more of the Beatles over the years than any other artist. I said "More than Sinatra?" He said yes and offered to give me their entire catalog on vinyl but I accepted his apology and passed on the offer. Bummer, but it wouldn't have been the same, you know? He reached out and that was what counted.

Re the apartment: listen to your still, small voice. Be brave. Here's to asking price or even a bidding war. Bottoms up!

Today is December 23. Happy Festivus to all! Festivus is a secular holiday, normally celebrated on December 23rd. It is mainly meant as an alternative to the pressures and commercialization of the Christmas season. However, it has also become a day to celebrate the ever-lasting comedy of the 1990s television show Seinfeld. Festivus was a holiday featured in the Season 9 Seinfeld episode "The Strike", which first aired on December 18, 1997. Since then, many people have been inspired by this zany, offbeat Seinfeld holiday and now celebrate Festivus as any other holiday. According to the Seinfeld model, Festivus is celebrated on December 23rd. However many people celebrate it other times in December and even at other times throughout the year. The usual holiday tradition of a tree is manifested in an unadorned aluminum pole, which is in direct contrast to normal holiday materialism. Those attending Festivus may also participate in the "Airing of Grievances" which is an opportunity to tell others how they have disappointed you in the past year, followed by a Festivus dinner, and then completed by the "Feats of Strength" where the head of the household must be pinned. All of these traditions are based upon the events in the Seinfeld episode, Strangely enough, our Festivus traditions also have roots that pre-date Seinfeld, as it began in the household of Dan O'Keefe, a television writer who is credited for writing the Seinfeld episode. The traditional greeting of Festivus is "Happy Festivus." The slogan of Festivus is "A Festivus for the rest of us!" The Seinfeldian origins of the Festivus traditions can be dated back to the 9th season episode titled "The Strike". In this episode Frank Costanza expresses a concern over the increased commercialism and consumerism that tends to saturate the December holiday season. In this episode, Frank Costanza tells the story of a routine outing to secure a Christmas gift for his son George where he came to the realization that there should be a new holiday: Frank Costanza: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way. Cosmo Kramer: What happened to the doll? Frank Costanza: It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born... a Festivus for the rest of us! Cosmo Kramer: That must have been some kind of doll. Frank Costanza: She was. The idea of Festivus originally came to Seinfeld writer Dan O'Keefe from a tradition started by his own father, Daniel O'Keefe. The elder O'Keefe had unilaterally invented Festivus, which had a vague origin in 1966 on the occasion of Daniel's first date with his soon to be fiancée Deborah. As the years went by, he shared the weird facets of his unique holiday with his three sons. Later, his eldest son Dan, a television script-writer, shared it with the world by including "Festivus" in a 1997 episode of Seinfeld. https://festivusweb.com/index.php

DEC. 22, 2020 2:44 PM UPDATED7:43 PM It was a rough day in courts, plural, for “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Erika Jayne on Tuesday. In Chicago, a federal judge warned her not to sell or spend assets she shares with her estranged husband, troubled legal giant Tom Girardi. In Los Angeles, an appellate justice Jayne blasted online for allegedly having an affair with her husband accused her of criminal conduct for posting the jurist’s intimate text messages, photos and phone number. A lawyer for Justice Tricia A. Bigelow, the presiding judge of the state’s Second District Court of Appeal, told The Times that Jayne’s “actions in maliciously doxxing the Justice were nothing short of criminal.” “We are considering our options to protect Justice Bigelow from further harassment,” said lawyer Alan Jackson, who noted that the judge was deluged with nasty text messages and calls after her phone number was published on Instagram. Last week, a contingent of creditors went to court in an attempt to force Girardi and his law firm into bankruptcy. Among the debtors listed in the bankruptcy petition was Robert Keese, the attorney whose surname was part of Girardi’s law firm branding, and Kimberly Archie, who worked as a legal consultant at the firm. Separately, the court reporting company Veritext filed a suit last week demanding nearly $550,000 in unpaid bills. Girardi has not spoken publicly about the mounting claims against him, nor was he present for Tuesday’s hearing. His lawyers have suggested to the judge that he has “mental competency” problems that prevent him from explaining what happened to his money or offering them guidance on how to defend him. “I’m also unable to effectively communicate with my client regarding these issues,” his defense attorney Evan Jenness told the judge Tuesday. The downfall of Girardi and its fallout for Jayne has united the typically staid legal world and legions of reality TV fans in rapt fascination. Both circles were set atwitter Friday night when Jayne alleged on Instagram that Girardi had an affair with Justice Bigelow and that he had paid for the judge’s plastic surgery and shopping sprees. Jayne published a collage of screenshots of years-old text messages that also included Bigelow’s phone number as well as a photo of the justice posing on a bed. She later deleted the post. Jackson, the attorney for Bigelow, said the justice had been “in a committed relationship with her husband for more than four years.” “She was personal friends with Tom Girardi for many years before her marriage, and at one brief point that friendship grew into a dating relationship. That relationship ended long before she met her husband,” Jackson said in a statement. He said the justice recused herself from cases involving Girardi or lawyers from his firm, adding, “At no time has Justice Bigelow violated any canon of judicial ethics. Indeed, she takes great pride in her decades-long record of integrity, impartiality and independence on the bench.” The judge in Chicago indicated he plans to scrutinize whether other lawyers in Girardi’s firm should have done more to ensure the Indonesian widows and orphans received their settlements. Girardi was the sole owner of the firm and controlled its finances, according to affidavits submitted by former employees. Two former Girardi Keese lawyers claimed in court papers this week that they had warned their boss for months about his handling of client money. David Lira, who is married to Girardi’s daughter, repeatedly urged his father-in-law to pass on settlement money from Boeing to the Indonesian clients, according to a filing by his lawyer. “Similar exchanges with increasing intensity followed with the final confrontation on the day Mr. Lira resigned and left the firm,” attorney Edith Matthai wrote, adding that the Girardi and Lira have not spoken since June 13, when Lira walked out of the firm. The downtown law practice he joined as a named partner, Johnston Hutchinson & Lira, announced Tuesday that Lira had resigned “after careful consideration.” Another attorney, Keith Griffin, one of the last to leave Girardi Keese before it effectively shut down operations this month, also said in court documents that he had told Girardi again and again to pay the Indonesians. In a November memo submitted to the court, he pleaded with Girardi to transfer the money and noted that the clients were prepared to go to the state bar and the district attorney’s office. “This could not be more serious,” he wrote. Girardi did not send the money. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-12-22/judge-rhobh-erika-jayne-tom-girardi

These first two links are from 18 hours ago. There was one more, from US magazine, but it poofed while I was copying it. A federal judge in Chicago on Tuesday told an attorney for “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Erika Jayne to make sure she knows her estranged husband’s assets are frozen “without question.” U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin otherwise took no action against Jayne during the latest hearing prompted by at least $2 million in missing money owed to people who lost loved ones in the Lion Air Flight 610 crash. Durkin has made clear his objective is to recover $2 million in settlement money owed to people in connection with the October 2018 crash of the Boeing 737 Max 8. Girardi’s attorneys have said he can’t pay the money. They have also failed to explain what happened to it. Durkin on Tuesday told Jayne attorney Matthew Wasserman that Tom Girardi’s “assets, without question, are frozen right now. So I think you need to convey that to your client.” Wasserman said he would let Jayne know. He also said Jayne only learned of the asset freeze through an email to her divorce attorney. He added, “I question whether she’s subject to this court’s jurisdiction.” https://chicago.suntimes.com/2020/12/22/22195848/judge-tells-real-housewives-stars-attorney-husbands-assets-frozen-erika-jayne A Chicago judge on Tuesday warned “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Erika Jayne not to sell any of her husband’s assets amid allegations that he misused $2 million in settlement money stemming from a fatal airline crash in Indonesia. “Simply put, the court froze all of Tom Girardi’s assets, and that means all community assets are frozen too,” the motion stated. “Erika Girardi must stop selling her clothes.” “Apparently these are clothes she is selling that belong to her. I don’t know whether assets she is selling are considered community property (but) if she’s selling assets that are property of Thomas Girardi, either whole or in part, you need to inform her of the danger that puts her in,” Durkin told attorney Matthew Wasserman. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/criminal-justice/ct-real-housewives-erika-jayne-plane-crash-settlement-suit-20201222-lzdhywdcjjalbjlvrd6cedamba-story.html From the previously posted, lengthy LA Times article: Hints of serious financial troubles at Girardi’s law firm surfaced around 2015. At the time, he and his wife were becoming household names, thanks to producers who cast them in the Beverly Hills edition of Bravo’s “Real Housewives,” on which she appears as Erika Girardi. The problems that emerged around 2015 stemmed from one of those David-versus-Goliath cases: A $17-million settlement for 138 senior-citizen women who claimed they developed cancer after taking hormone replacement therapy. The payout the women received from Girardi’s firm did not match the sum they anticipated. They requested an accounting. The firm refused, and in 2014, about two dozen women filed suit against Girardi and the firm. Girardi’s lawyers insisted he had done nothing wrong, but they kept ignoring requests for bank records, emails and other documents despite orders from a federal magistrate, court records show. The women became increasingly frustrated. Their lawyers alleged in filings that the firm had misappropriated more than $10 million and suggested the held-back documents “would reveal the fraudulent and criminal nature of their wrongdoing.” As the case moved toward trial, Girardi borrowed $12 million at a high interest rate from a Northern California company that specialized in funding law firms, and an additional $5 million from a similar lender in Arizona, according to timelines they later detailed in court papers. Within months, he reached a settlement with the cancer survivors. It was not the last time Girardi would have to borrow. Those watching on Bravo were none the wiser. In their first episode, Girardi and Jayne gave viewers a tour of their gardens, designed by the Olmsted brothers, who planned Central Park. Jayne explained how she balanced being a Pasadena socialite with a secret life as a risqué performer of dance hits. “If I don’t honor my inner bad girl,” she told the audience, “I’m not going to be happy.” https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-12-17/tom-girardi-erika-jayne-rhobh-divorce

Mick and Keith met when they were first-graders. The Stones headlined one of their earliest shows 56 years ago! Mick was taking a gap year from the London School of Economics, Bill gave up his job as a carpenter and Charlie resigned from the ad agency where he worked. They knew two guys who also were knocking around at that time, a guitar player named Eric Clapton who was so lacking in confidence that he had to play sitting down. And a singer with a raspy voice who was a trainee grave digger during the day named Rod Stewart. Ah well, and George Harrison was an apprentice electrician when he chucked it all to throw in with John and Paul.

Patrick Byrne, who was the CEO of Overstock until he resigned after confessing to an affair lasting many years with Maria Butina. That Russian gal who posed as a student and was deported home in 2019 after doing five months in a federal prison. IIRC her status came to light when she was busted while sniffing around old NRA guys. You can read today's article about this latest set of advisors if you google WaPo and Patrrick Byrne.

There is a marathon on Peacock on Saturday, Dec 26. Seasons 1-3, beginning at 9am, I'm guessing Eastern time.

I'm not expecting much because this is the branch of the family where you are admired for taking bare-legged running jumps into decorated Christmas trees.

I think she's talking about Salt Lake City. The homeless camps are evaluated every year before winter comes so the latest chapter in the ongoing saga is in its third month. It got dicier than usual this year between the do-something and leave-them-alone factions. Homeowners are infuriated and beyond fed up, the other side appears to accomplish very little. But, this year two hotels have been pressed into service as winter housing because they're empty due to the pandemic. I think Mariah has thrown in with those who prefer not to accept housing that comes with limits and rules. The SL Tribune covers it a lot but you can't read it unless you subscribe. Parowan in 3 hours and 230 miles from SLC. Perhaps Meri will donate some rooms at Lizzie's to the cause.

That she will browbeat us with. We also need to be punished for the best ratings in the show's history during her prolonged absence. We are so in for it.

This is the part that sounds murky, from the lawyer on twitter who is interpreting (and Tamara Tattles quoted). Earliest reports informed that two plaintiff(s) rec'd 1.5 million (each) but should have rec'd 2 million. So if Tom diverted 25% of the settlements to himself (and he can't increase his fee after the fact) how how did he do it, what type of fraud took place? He forged signatures or docs or both, or ? What does the info below indicate to you? TIA. Regarding the Indonesian Boeing aircraft crash of the Lion Air flight two of the clients that hired Girardi have obtained new counsel (who appear to be working pro bono).These two clients claim that they never gave consent to settle with Boeing. It seems to have be[en] alleged that to perpetuate the alleged fraud by Girardi, he settled cases without client consent to fund Erika Girardi's lifestyle. Upon review of court dockets, no notices of settlement were found. And, the former Girardi Keese clients claim they never signed any formal settlement documents. Richards states that this type of criminal conduct is brazen. It is no different than committing identity theft of someone else’s account.

Lisa rescued another Pom with alopecia a couple years ago, his name is Harrison AKA Harry. https://arizonawigco.com/what-we-can-learn-from-giggy-the-dog/

Some of that is murky. It has been reported that the plaintiffs never signed a settlement agreement and therefore initially were unaware that a) a settlement had been reached and b) there were funds to request/expect. Perhaps this relates to the discrepancy between what they received and the actual benefit amount, ie: Tom lined his pockets with the difference. If he was cooking the books he would have to cook the paperwork as well, to hide his theft, right?

Attorney @RonaldRichards opined that the way Erika was selling her clothing could be problematic re claims of ignorance. It weakens a stance of "little ol' me has no idea what Tom does." "Also, the choice of an obscure French company gives pause as to whether Erika was trying to move money out of the country. The legal team for two of the Lion Air flight victims assert this is further indication that the Girardis jointly and separately continue to siphon fiances away from the grasp of the families of victims of the plane crash."

The Tamara Tattles article is full of tasty information from a lawyer-ly source. The hearing re Cunty's personal involvement is scheduled for 12/22. Merry Christmas! Aside from everything else she appears to be in contempt by selling clothing using "an obscure French company."

It seems to have be[en] alleged that to perpetuate the alleged fraud by Girardi, he settled cases without client consent to fund Erika Girardi's lifestyle.

Richards states that this type of criminal conduct is brazen. It is no different than committing identity theft of someone else’s account. And last but not least, the cumulative amount of debt for Girardi Keese is $30,500,000 so far. As much as $20,000,000 was allegedly transferred to Erika”s LLC. Also, Erika shows up on the board of at least one of Tom Girardi’s LLCs. If I was going to place a bet, I’d bet Erika Girardi is going to go down with Tom on this and both could face federal charges that include prison time. Like I said, it’s a mess and is sure as hell ain’t pretty.

Yeah, she's grasping at anything to improve her PR while coming off as laughable. The joke is on her, no assets of her own, no community property and no alimony (or whatever it's called these days).

People has the same story, adding that her breaking point came when he didn't attend her Broadway debut. Preferring to stay home and fuck his latest lovely, is the inference.

Does anyone make Russian salad (Olivier salad) via the Hermitage Restaurant in Moscow? I came across it tonight and looked at a few recipes. Thinking I might try it without meat, I see ham, chicken or tuna used most often. Any tips or tricks? I just finished my third batch of pasta fazool and I'm in the mood to finely dice potatoes and carrots for a change of pace. Omitting meat would leave me with potatoes, carrots, onions, peas, eggs and pickles. It looks prettier than it sounds, and I'm big on things I can make in batches and eat all week.
