I'm wondering about the puzzle motif on the band of his hat. That's sometimes a sign for autism awareness.

I noticed that, too. I wondered if one of the kids was on the spectrum, hence needing someone to watch them during the doctor's appointment (especially if it's the older one).

So off topic, but I'm happy happy happy...

I found out that my boss is underqualified for her job, so I applied for out-of-my-qualifications jobs. 

You are snarking with the NEW Project Coordinator and Courtroom Advocate for Rape Response Services of xxx County. 

When I woke up this morning, I was a part time Activities Assistant at a retirement community.

The Executive Director said when she interviewed me, she knew she had found the exact right person.

I've been jumping up and down all day. 

Congrats!

Congratulations @Suzywriter!!

[magemaud]

I love the patterned hospital gowns they use that look like kitchen curtains 

[Floatingbison]

Huge congrats, @Suzywriter on the new job!

Does she really have to stroke his thigh all the time? They're not 16.

Check out Michael's color. He's all red in the face, almost purple. That can't be healthy. 

[Azubah]

Bowel in his esophagus? No no no no no no no

Yay! My first win! I would like to offer to share my machete, as I know many of you probably are not shaving your bellies like you should be doing.

I will try very hard to not let this win go to my head, but I am a glowing star and now everyone knows it.

Posts like this are why I love this place so much. 🤣

10/10, Much-needed laugh.

Dr. Now needs to roll the dice on him.  Less talking, more cutting.

Congrats!  For a job like that, I think, a right personality means a lot more than the right set of experiences or credentials.  Good luck!

Wasn't that the one with the young and not-yet-bald Bruce Willis?  I used to watch it as a kid!

Rug-wearing Willis. 

I didn’t watch, but I can see crushing on Cybil Shepherd (sp?).

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

We’re an hour in. I’ve gained 10 lbs of annoyance. 

I usually get annoyed during the live chat because my cousin sends me  eleventy thousand text messages.

Tonight, not one text.   I guess i will play a few more games of computer backgammon and/or Spider Solitaire with 2 suits.  Or I may text my cousin

Is the show over yet?  asking for a friend and most of the people on this chat

[mmecorday]

Those hospital socks are THE WORST!

[Burning Rubber]

Done! Done done done dundundundudun

[LizzyB]

Hi All--just arrived.  Looks like from @Twopper's last post that this one is no fun!  Ah, well. I shall still partake and take part (and maybe regret both later).

[umgoblue]

I found the last wishbone that I had stashed away and used it wasted it on my no train wreck desire for today's episode. 

It was an EPIC fail.

Me now:  Feverishly trying to Gorilla Glue it back together!!!!  😂

[mk828]

Where's his wife?? She was with him with Dr. Paradise, but not surgery??? Maybe it was covid time

[aliya]

Does anyone know if TLC pays for extra surgery if it's required before the WLS? If he needs bowel work or whatever, will they cover that?

The bast part is that right after I got the text that we would be down all evening, my phone rang and it was my internet company trying to upsell me to get a bigger plan. Talk about bad timing 

[DropTheSoap]

“I know I can do this...”

Smells like failure.

I suspect that Michael also has a huge abdominal hernia, plus a lot of scar tissue, and a hiatal  hernia, it lets the intestines, and stomach crowd through the diaphragm.

I love hospital socks!

They bring back bad memories of a lengthy hospital stay.

Why did I burn the sausage? WHY WHY WHY ?!?!?

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

AHHHH!!  This is wonderful news!  I am humbled by your ascent.  Love the fact that you are a courtroom advocate.  The best. ❤️

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

The captioning isnt always accurate. Also you cant have a bowel in your esophagus you can have bile.

Oh, I'd say he's done alright. 

9:12 p.m and the smell of failure in the air is more pungent than the stench of lighter-fluid-roasted Eggos and Entenmann's cake.
