S08.E11: Tommy's Story LIVE CHAT

[Twopper]

Drat, I thought I could chat tonight, but I just got in from dinner with some out-of-towners.  My eating habit was pork loin, wild rice, apricots, French beans, roll with butter, and a petit four.

I guess I can watch tomorrow.  Just scanned a few posts so I am guessing he got the sleeve.

Hope this is better than the last ones have seen.

Northern TP and other paper products have been produced at the same Mill in Green Bay since 1901.

And just to the sw, is Kimberly, the original home of Kimberly Clark products.  There are still a zillion paper mills in WI.

More importantly, where are pizza boxes made?

Does Amanda remind anyone else of Dottie?

Clearly Tommy doesn't know how many people on TV use intimacy as a euphemism for sex. Um, mom . . . .

Clearly I missed something and I think I'm okay with that.

[sainte-chapelle]

I feel feel for Tommy, the moment she Amañda pushed his hair back and he shrunk from her was telling. Clearly the abuse damaged him deeply.

My coworker was telling me her daughter's college is closing for a bit so her daughter sees it as an opportunity to travel...

Yup, my nephew is at Fordham - they've closed.  Despite all that's going on he's taking a cruise through the Panama Canal that he's planned for over a year.

Go figure......young and foolish!

Still waiting for the karaoke closing scene.

Inspirational karaoke in a park closing scene?

Yeah ... same old, same old: "Scared-right-now/nervous/eating feelings/forbidden pizza/Lola magic." Meh. This show is so predictable. 

Still waiting for the karaoke closing scene.

Karaoke will be like a walk in the park.

[PrincessPurrsALot]

I want this to end with Karaoke with him singing Lola.

[mellowjoi]

I love the confused looks on Tommy’s face whenever he didn’t lose the right amount of weight. 

[umgoblue]

I hate having to be a responsible adult and address a few coronavirus issues that have come up DURING MY M600PL LIVE CHATTING LIFE! 

WTH, people!  What did I miss? 😂🤣

I boycott paper products produced by Koch Industries.

[Concerned]

I’m getting another California travel ad, this time for San Diego. No thanks. I would rather crap my pants at home.

[OoogleEyes]

That commercial reminds me. I am past due for a pedicure

I am moving close to San Diego but not until October so no worries.

[mmecorday]

I'm thinking that if worse comes to worse with the TP situation, we can buy a pack of those really cheap wash cloths at the Dollar Tree and use them as toilet paper.

So that was ravioli he was eating out of a can?
I've done the same. Hell, I've done worse. I've eaten the entire contents of a can of apple pie filling in one sitting.
But...it was "no sugar added," though!

ego te absolvo a peccatis tuis  🙂

Why does it seem okay to eat "dessert" from a can but not an entrée?

I don't know, but the paper mill very near me produces microwave popcorn and chewing gum speciality paper.

Somewhat, I have hope for him.....think he needs to lose the girlfriend.  Trying not to fat shame, but am afraid that her dismay earlier in the episode for him eating forbidden pizza was just for the camera. 

I think she's picked up most of the weight he's lost unfortunately....or maybe she's pregnant.  Ewww!

[88Keys]

The scale took like five minutes to show his weight lol.

[DropTheSoap]

I think this episode put most pounders to sleep.

[Caoimhe]

I will never get on a cruise ship again in my life.  We’re also rethinking a trip home we booked back in January - just got sent an article saying travel to Europe may possibly be restricted and/or trigger quarantine on returning.  Yeah, the family might have to do without seeing us this year.

Apparently an Australian newspaper printed eight blank pages to provide another option!

The problem with travelling now is not so much the danger of falling ill as it is the risk of not being able to come back.

TOmmy did well!  I guess talking helped!  

I like this guy, he is nice and polite, and he is trying.

Replacements. com is trying to sell me more sterling.  

I guess this was a boring epi as the chat has turned to toilet paper.

That's what I was thinking, he got stuck in the age when he was abused...  very sad.

I am more bummed about Beiler's.   Their Old Fashioned donuts are the best!  Whenever I am in Philly, I make sure I get me one or two.  Even if it means I have to actually *run* in the 90-degree heat while wearing proper business attire! 

The opened one in my town. They’re...not my favorite 🤭

The leaves are going to be coming out soon. They were the original tp. heh

[DropTheSoap]

He's almost smaller than Amanda. And I don't think it's his loss as much as her gain.

[Concerned]

Would like to see Tommy get a shave and haircut.

Your optimism is endless! TLC would NEVER pay for the rights to air that song -- they won't even pony up $3 to show the Chef Boyardee cans!

[88Keys]

I wish Dr. Now would be a little more positive with Tommy.  He seems kind of hesitant to praise Tommy.

That would be the green thing to do. Reuse! Recycle!

[Callaphera]

Wow, you guys. Amanda highlighted Dr. Now's pamphlet book. That's how committed she is...

... to gaining all the weight that Tommy lost.

Tom Hanks and his wife Rita have Coronavirus in Australia.

[String Theory]

Amanda's read the booklet three times?  There's a big difference between reading and doing.

Surprised Dr. Now didn't give him the smack down for not losing more weight.

But she highlighted in it. That's gotta be like, what, 3 calories she burned? Wow!

[Kid]

Good night. Don’t let the coronavirus bite!   See you next week!

I must have missed something from awhile back - why do people keep referencing karaoke? I don't remember any of our boring obesees singing.

These two do NOT need to breed.

Woot! Karaoke! Someone called it!

[OoogleEyes]

Here comes the karaoke!!!

[Callaphera]

That is a rockin' karaoke bar.

I don't know how anyone got on a cruise ship after the poop cruise debacle from several years ago!

Oh, look. The karaoke scene that was telegraphed in the first 10 minutes of the show. How surprising!

Complete with SILENT karaoke.

[88Keys]

We've been dreaming of this karaoke date for years.

You need to dream bigger, hon.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Karaoke, at the virtually empty Karaoke bar.   I love that he looks smaller than Amanda does.

People usually prefer I do it silently when I karaoke, too.
