S08.E07: Joyce's Story LIVE CHAT

[ams1001]

She's cooking on a hot plate from her chair. I guess that's a step up from bed-wontons...

I don't think I'll ever forget the poop bed wontons....

But deep-frying at home is healthier.

[Callaphera]

I can tell you right now that her portion is too big and I suck at calorie counting. 

I inhale food in large quantities and even that Dixie plate is too much for me. Plus the (sweet, sweet, life giving) ketchup!

[88Keys]

That is a MASSIVE Quick Trip mug.  You know it isn't full of water, either.

Eating habit update: Just made hot chocolate (Archer Farms Dark Chocolate) and may have added a tablespoon or two of Baileys to it.

Where did the little dog come from?! Did they always have a little dog?

I think it’s her mother’s dog.

[Splashes]

Girl, those are not egg whites. Egg whites are the white bit not the whole thing you turnip.

Buckle up, it's an ugly ride.

Yup.  As in borrowed money from friends and family to finance trip to Houston, then ended up  failing beyond miserably and going back home.  And a while lotta bad attitude in between.  

 

On a related note....she's cooking in bed!   Penny fried wontons from bed!!!

[Suzywriter]

that's a big omlette for a 1200 calorie diet.

I once had a very life-like dream about the first day of school after spring break.  I dreamed of coming in, writing down the schedule for the new quarter, going to class, talking with my classmates, coming home, doing homework, going to bed.  Then my alarm sounded, I woke up, and I was fully convinced it was not Monday but Tuesday then my Mom told me that no, it was Monday and the first day of the quarter.  Funny, but the real schedule was exactly like I dream (the classes I already new, but the exact order was not known until the actual first day of class!).

When I was in the 2nd grade I didn’t have my homework.  I told the teacher I dreamed I did it.  She said that wasn’t acceptable.  I told her in my dream she said it was alright.  I got a double assignment of spelling words for my dream. I think that was because I asked if she could prove we were actually awake and not just in the same dream. 

[Armchair Critic]

At this point it looks like it is going to end with her in her wheelchair at the park

[Hellga]

Her MOM did that to her?   Joyce, you did it to yourself!  You aren't a foie-gras goose being hoisted up and force-fed through a feeding tube!

[Suzywriter]

IT WAS NOT HER MOTHER'S FAULT. 

[poeticlicensed]

So those eggs were totally for the camera but she is screwed because even her fake cooking a healthy meal resulted in a huge plate of food.

1,200 calories is less than most slices of Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake or many restaurant entrees.  You think she has the discipline to not clear the plate?

Oh Camille had nothing on you lady, I love her lying sideways in the chair "having a heart attack"

Her fakey face doing that was the highlight for me 😂 

💯 convinced she wanted a hospital ride to avoid walking out over that threshold. 

[Carboncat]

The Thanksgiving Parade balloon with slipper flipper feet can sure work out those chewing muscles.

It should be named Toto since they're from Kansas.

[CircusPeanuts]

What??  Mama Joyce?  Joyce's mother's name is Joyce, too?  That's messed up!

[Callaphera]

I swear I can see Lola's eyelash glue every time she blinks and it bothers me. 

[SunnyBeBe]

Yeah 24 egg white omelette. Lol

[PaTatertots]

Mr. Tot: Did the Lola lady walk in with a hunk of bread in her hand? What is Joyce actually looking at? She looks everywhere but where people are.

[DEG9]

How is Lola able to sit there with that... thing, hanging in front of her eyes, and not ask who's hiding under the dress?!

[Caoimhe]

It’s Joyce’s special recipe where you use the whole egg but only count the white.

[CringeWatcher]

You know, walking to and from my car in addition to teaching juniors all day is really too much, especially without 35000 calories a day, 2 full time caregivers, and an all I can snort oxygen buffet. I think my job should provide me a limousine transport. Or a helicopter. 

[Snarkastikate]

How can Lola avoid staring at that warty fat bag hanging down towards the floor right in front of her face???

Typo

[SunnyBeBe]

So mom takes out anger against daughter by feeding her to death.

I'm calling BS on egg "whites"--LOTS of yellow in that mound o' eggs!

Lola what the fuck is that carpet. It looks like you just threw a pile of rubbish on the ground.

Ha! But if her family was violent, why did she think it was a good idea to leave Joyce with them! 

Lola's 2-for-2 with the outfits today. Love it! And she gave good advice, too. 

[Callaphera]

Joyce: can't talk about the important things with a therapist.
Also Joyce: talks allll about the important things to a television producer who is sitting off camera,

K.

[OoogleEyes]

So...WHAT  was Lola's advice??

I am in awe that you can even look at the screen long enough to notice! I'm so busy reading and typing I mostly only listen to the show!

[Hellga]

She looks like Mr. Potato head, except it's a nearly spherical body on which a small(ish) head (the part above the neck, which drowns in the overall roundness anyway), hands (on half-arms) and feet (on half-legs) are attached!

I agree, I told my boss I wanted a tiara and a pony but I think I'll go with limousine next time with an oxygen chaser.

[Hana Chan]

Do you want to know why you didn't bring those issues up, Joyce? Because they're bullshit, and you know that a trained psychiatrist would see right through your bullshit.

So.....I guess surgery is out for tonight.

Here’s what I notice. The voiceovers always sound so whiny. It’s how they’re written. She said...since I’ve been home I’ve been doing really good and losing weight “but it’s been really hard for me”

Ive been doing good and losing weight but it’s been hard. Or it’s been hard work. Both sound much less whiny then the it’s been really hard for me turns it into self pity. 
the writers are not doing these folks any favors.

I wonder about dermatologists. They stress through years of college and medical school, making sacrifices and earning top marks, and then spend their working life looking at people’s nasty sores.

[Minivanessa]

So in Joyce's post-therapy session VO she says, well I didn't say something that I really wanted to say to my mom. So I don't think the therapy is going to work.

Yeah, Joyce. Nothing works, does it? Not Dr. Now's diet. Not the scale. And now, not therapy.

I will settle for a castle in the Alps, and I am willing to hike up the mountain all on my own two feet!

Joyce - shifting eyes rapidly from left to right - um, I was abused, yeah, that's the ticket!
