Juvaderm...prescription for breast cancer drug...are women of my age being targeted much during this show? Is the average viewing audience a mid 50's female?

I was watching a show yesterday where the commercials were for a new non hormonal birth control. Side effects are utis, yeast infections and vaginosis. Bring it on baby!!

What is with the 8 ft table from Costco set up in the middle of the living room? Who lives like that?

At least they are using a table and not eating off a bed!!  Where they changed is diaper if they were at the point of doing that.

OMG. I know his mother has cancer --- but she looks like she's perfectly capable of driving a car. 

[Floatingbison]

Ten hour drive, seven drive thrus.

[TazDevil]

A 5-hour cab ride??  Yikes.

I'm guessing 646

[hookedontv]

He’s taking a 10 hour round trip cab ride to Houston????? How much does that cost? 
 

Sorry his mom looks like she could be helping him. 

[ams1001]

I wonder what a 10-hour round trip cab ride costs...

 

Doggies' name is Pablo! My avatar's name was Pablo!

[Pepper Mostly]

A FIVE HOUR TAXI RIDE?

Maybe Mom is on pills and can't drive.

[snarkish]

Alright, Mom. You can't accompany your son to his appointment after all he does for you? You don't look that "run down" toting your dog around the house. 

[Hellga]

He actually wears clothes.  That's an upside.  Five hour cab ride?  Wow.  At least hopefully there won't be a fast food stop as that would be extra cost!

This all makes me glad to be a lesbian. 

[ams1001]

"trying to be active for this long"? You're going to be sitting in a car...

[Donut Bear]

Is he taking a taxi to Houston??

[Floatingbison]

712

EXACTLY. She seems quite mobile. I think she just doesn't want to be bothered. 

[Scarlett45]

He looks tall- maybe in the high 600s? I say 677lbs

Is Isaac the oldest? Because I'm still steaming that he threw away his one chance in life to come home and take care of his mother that someone else who lived there could have done.

Seems that this is a codependent bunch. When I got sick, no damned body even glanced in my direction. I took care of myself, and I did fine. I had no choice. Some people do better with no choice. 

[Chicklet]

Oh when they get in the car backward you know it's going to be a bad trip.

Annnd here goes the snack for the ride. First of many I assume.

[Pepper Mostly]

Weight pool? I'm thinking in the 700's. I'll guess 741.

[babyhouseman]

I just saw an ad for mcdonald's chicken nuggets. They've must've seen the drive thru.

[ams1001]

"Can we get something to eat real quick?"...after 30 seconds on the road.

[CrazyInAlabama]

So Isaac is 600 easy, the sister has to be 400 too, and so is the mother.    

Hutchins, TX is near Dallas I think, so he's about 4 hours or so from Dr. Now's place, plus a few drive thru stops. 

So a four hour trip took over five hours because of drive thru trips?   Bad sign. 

A hint from my plumber, if you have a pipe that freezes, open the tap above it, the pipes often break when the water starts melting, and if the tap isn't open, boom.      Also, outside faucets should not have the hoses connected.     If you don't have the styrofoam covers, rip an old bath towel in half the long way, wrap it around the outside faucet, and duct tape it.  It will work for insulating just fine.   Also, open the cabinet doors where the pipes are, to help it get warmth from the room, and leave them open. 

 

Sending good thoughts to those who have no power, no water, and hope that it gets better soon.

He paying a taxi to drive 5 hours! How much does that cost?!

[TazDevil]

He's having the cab hit a drive thru!!  Hope he gets the guy something for himself.

[Arynm]

I am going with 702.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Why wasn’t this My 600lbs FAMILY??

Not sure I have much hope considering every single person I’ve seen so far is morbidly obese.

I’m wondering if they have a friend that has a taxi and are just paying them to make the trip. 

[poeticlicensed]

Taxi to the drive thru! Double points!

[Guest]

I hope he bought the driver some food.

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh he's nervous. He needs something to eat. Poor cab driver's cab is going to smell like a Burger King dumpster at the end of this. 

[DropTheSoap]

Drive thru #1.

Ooops. As soon as you hit "submit reply"!

[Chicklet]

He's so gray, how is that possible for a kid his age? I know it happens but reeally someone needs to check his thyroid among other things.

I should have known.  I guess when you are forking over several hundred dollars, what difference would extra 20 make?

[mk828]

Taxi driver has to be thinking why the fuck did I take this fare?? 

  I am thinking 732

[babyhouseman]

[sagittarius sue]

FB picked the number I was going to pick.  I'll go with 721.

[Chicklet]

He's the devil evidently.

[snarkish]

Was that the cab fare or did the cab have a scale in it and weigh him??! LOL

[Floatingbison]

Here we go . . .
