I hope he did! The closed captioning said "bowel". But I hope to hell it was bile.

I keep warning everyone about the closed caps ever since I saw "cycle therapy" in place of "psychotherapy."

I found out a long time ago, never get in the flu shot line with the doctor (I worked for the Army as a civilian for years, so they were often Colonels), because they only did shots for the flu shot clinic, and getting in the Colonel's shot line could be a painful mistake.   There was a reason that the Col./Dr.'s line was so short.   

I'm very pale so my veins are deceptively visible. It once took three people four tries to get blood from me (the one that finally worked was with the little needle they use for kids...I was 27). The easiest blood draw I ever had was by a guy with several ear piercings, an eyebrow ring, I think a nose ring, and multiple visible tattoos. I can't help but think his obviously-extensive experience with needles was relevant.

His wife rubs him because she's staking her claim. Nobody's taking her man.

They bring back bad memories of a lengthy hospital stay.

Sorry 😞

Dr Paradise is skeptical about blaming everything on the now-dead counselor.

It's 9:15 and we're only on munt two?

For those who just got the Rakuten commercial - I got $20 yesterday. Not a lot, but enough to keep me in diet Pepsi.

Love Rakuten. We booked a  a cruise through a travel agent that is listed on their site and got back $300

Congrats to @Suzywriter for landing a new job that she is excited about.

I had wondered if they could do the balloon thing for 6 months to help him get a head start with the weight loss.

Perhaps that would only complicate things with all he has going on with scar tissue, hernia, etc.

My goodness stop with the sighing and noises

I am currently binge watching "Schitt's Creek" because all the channels I usually watch have incessant ads for Discovery+. It's so obnoxious.

Discovery+ ads have even started to invade my podcast feed.

Welllll PL...it didn't specifically say to NOT put it on your hair...  Dumbass!   (Please just toss it out of court)

But you can't rationalize stupid.

[hookedontv]

Ok my friends, I’m tired and going to bed. I’ll catch up on this tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of the snarking! 
Keep safe. Don’t burn any food y’all!

I was about to write, "Who'd WANT him?!" but then remembered James K and his married girlfriend ... so, never mind.

Jesus, who'd want him?

[ams1001]

I feel very uncomfortable listening to his reading of his letter.

[WonTon]

Dude, you're no DeNiro. Stop with the "acting."

[Floatingbison]

He's just like Angela, . . he keeps his lighter in his bra.

[CrazyInAlabama]

He's going to keep burning stuff until he sets himself on fire, and the trailer too.

I hope his abuser is burning in hell. 

[mmecorday]

His wife has Ayn Rand hair.

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh the emoting! 

And of course, she's crying. 

YOU ARE BANISHED TO THE FLAMES!

Its funny back in the early 80s I was doing an internship for becoming a lab tech at a hospital. I had blue nails. One of the managers of one section told me I could not have that color of nail polish. Times have changed.

I think we all do.

I thought maybe since it goes down the esophagus it might work, but he does need to lose weight on his own.  He claims to have done it in the past so he should be able to repeat that even though it is harder as we get older.  He needs to more around and go back to LARPing or something.

*dramatic reading*

whipping boy....LOL...you are banished to the flames 

[poeticlicensed]

Omg these two are so OTT. Such drama. Almost like they are role playing 

[7EasyPayments]

Typing burns how many calories?

Dramatic reading of the letter.

More burning.

Use of the word 'banish'.

Renaissance Faire, here I come !!!!

[PaTatertots]

Must we burn everything, sir? Can't we... tear the paper up and toss it? Take it to a rage room and smash it? What happens if a lightbulb goes out? Do we burn the house down?

 

Also, we're grown ups, we don't have to be up our spouse's ass all the time. She's ALWAYS freaking there. Go away woman. 

Oh, he's going out on his own.  Good deal.  

[Suzywriter]

This "the vegetarian" pizza has bacon on it. Bacon?

Don't take me wrong, I love cheap theatrics as much as the next girl, but theatrics are for showing them to others.  Not fo when you need to deal with your own emotions.  I don't believe that letter did anything for him, he took it as a homework assignment (word choice matters!) that the teacher asked for because the teacher wanted it and not as something he needs to *live* through and process for his own good.  I bet he approaches his diet the same way and that's why he will fail.

Get some spiritual supplies, or get some spirits?!!

After 78 minutes of this pair, I could use some spirits right now. (All I've got is Irish Cream Brownie ice cream, which, despite being part of the "Spirits" collection, doesn't really count.)

[TazDevil]

Guessing 598 for his weigh in.  They've showed us none of his eating habit over the past few munts.

[steff13]

Do either of them have a job?

They should've let him do that privately.
