S09.E07: Krystal's Story LIVE CHAT

[Burning Rubber]

Month 3: sad music background. 

That's a lot of bacon she prepares at once.

Freelin is such a downer I'd be sleeping 20 hour days, too.

Kenda said that the police inadvertently ruined the crime scene such that the case could never be tried in court.

She has cut her pants so she can mount the couch in the way she is accustomed. I honestly have never seen anything like that.

Meh, I worked at the Kennedy School, pretty much an ugly stepchild in the Harvard pecking order. We were pretty poor. You want megabucks, go to the B School.

I want tears! Hugs! People telling anecdotes about how wonderful I am and how much I'll be missed! 

Not me. I want to just go away unnoticed. But I'm the last to retire of the group that I started there with 30+ years ago so just about all my contemporaries have retired.

State university. No liquor. You private school people think you're so hot.

I teach at a private school, and one day in late summer, a friend came to visit me on campus.  She was STUNNED when we walked by an ice cream vendor, standing in the quad offering free ice cream sandwiches to anyone walking by!  I am ashamed to say that I had become quite used to the luxe life.  I'm all gratitude since that friend's visit!

Freelin doesn't sound like he has many teeth.

We pull the "Jeopardy" episodes out every once in a while

Eugene Levy did a great impersonation of Alex Trebek! Some of those eps are on YouTube, too.

Freelin has as many brain cells as he does teeth.

It cracks me up every time I see it.   I bet the new crop of 1Ls will have a lesson on Zooming.   The legal practice has really changed since I was in school. 

When I was in law school, Lexis was fairly new and we had a rep visit a class. After the person left, the professor said, "Don't worry about that stuff. No lawyer will ever use a computer."  

Many years later, I ended up changing careers and doing the PhD to examine just how much the field was changed by technology. I ended up changing my focus, but that was the impetus.

That's how I want to retire.  No big party.  I'll just stop showing up to the office.

I'm with you. As much as I complain about working at home, now that I've got a retirement date, I cant see myself going back to campus, ever. They haven't asked about a virtual retirement party, which seems totally awkward. 

I do feel freer, I'm such a worker bee, sometimes now I'm like screw it its 3pm, its not like it matters anymore. 

Right? I'm halfway out the door already. I've never been ambitious, though I am a hard worker. Now? Not so much. I love my boss and I do it for her. the end.

Thanks so much. He was on life support and went through 2 surgeries. Still on a ventilator which they are worried about damaging his lungs but brain appears to be healing. He just needs to start breathing on his own. Thanks for asking 🙂

Sending lots of good mojo your way. I hope he recovers fully and quickly!

I say she didn't lose quite the 80 pounds, but she probably got pretty close, like 65-70, and will give us our first surgery of the season.

I've heard that it was most likely an intruder. Just give me a name. I dont care id the person gets put away. 

[Kid]

She looks smaller.

[String Theory]

Anyone think she's self sabotaging b/c she doesn't want to go to Houston.

Free Wheelin seems pretty set on staying put.

Yeah, Kelly Clarkson, you bought some furniture from WayFair.....   Uh Huh....

Oh, to be at that professor's retirement party! Hey, remember when you said no lawyer would ever use a computer?? 🤣

Fishin' Musician with John Candy.  The one with Joe Walsh was highlarious.  

John Candy as Johnny LaRue,  cigarette smoking tiny donut eating fitness instructor.  Count Floyd.  Earl Camembert.  Sammy Maudlin.  Edith Prickly.  So many more, funnier than anything going on now!  I watch the DVDs all the time.

Are we not counting Samantha's surgery from the first episode because she didn't actually earn it from Dr. Now? It does seem like she should get partial credit at best.

I work for a federal agency and tomorrow's my last day before I venture off to a new job in a different office.  There's an untitled Zoom "meeting" planned for tomorrow morning and a friend/co-worker filled me in that it's my farewell.  I. AM. DREADING. IT.  Just let me sneak away, lol.

Those nuns really did a thing on me. They were all sitting in the seminar room waiting for me while I was still working, wrapping up things with researchers at the last minute. I don't think it's immodest to say this, but I didn't want to leave any of 'my' people without making sure they'd be OK after I left. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

TLC should not be allowed to show the actual feet in these commercials. 🤮

[hookedontv]

How y’all doing Pounders? I just got home so I think I’m going to start this at the beginning so I won’t be live chatting with you. I just wanted to say Hi! I can’t wait to see what Krystal with a K’s eating habit is.

They have touch DNA from the waistband.....I don't see why they can't do a DNA database/genealogical search like they did for Golden State Killer.

64 pound loss!  Called it almost exactly!  HOpefully I got Dr. Now's reaction correctly, too.

I think they know who did it but don’t have enough proof.

In 1986 a friend of mine was murdered. It was never solved. But this is a small town and the rumor is that everyone knew who did it but they couldn't come up with enough proof. Its heartbreaking.

The show on one of the major networks posited, fairly convincingly, that it was her brother--an accident--and that the parents covered it up to avoid his prosecution.  It all came down to the pineapple!  I think the brother sued the network, though, and may have won.

If you watched Toddlers and Tiaras, the moms were crazy because they invest time and money into the pageants and the kids could care less and often sassed the mom. My theory is the kid wound the mother up and she beat the kid to death. Dad wrote the fake note to protect his wife (the daughter was dead). The police screwed up the evidence but when the mom died (or killed her self) a few years later, it was case closed for the police.

Cripes,  munt 3 or 4 and it is already 9;30 so the chances are slim to none that she will even go back to Houston and get surgery.

I like the discussion Dr Now had with Dr Paradise.   I think maybe since he has had so many recent patients fail to get surgery he is beginning to share more of the problems he sees in his patients with the audience. 

Someone needs to mention that a side effect of losing the weight that he asks them to  is that the next trip to Houston will be a little less uncomfortable.   and for heaven's sake, get them all a scale at the beginning of the show so that they can see how they are doing without having to "feel" whether they have lost anything.  It won't take anything away from the show.

I think they found the body and she thought the brother did it,do she wrote the note. I think that was a bad assumption on her part and it ruined any hope of being able to solve the case

That’s nice of her mother to pay for their move.

For Ramsey, I think it was a creeper who was in the neighborhood and could watch the house, and also stalked her at the fashion shows or whatever she was doing.
