S10.E08: James B's Journey LIVE CHAT

[String Theory]

James is NEVER going to see the inside of Dr. Now's operating room......There has to be bariatric surgeons in NYC that could do his surgery.

[sainte-chapelle]

Good night everyone !

[Hellga]

I wonder if he walks the way he does because he has been atrociously overweight since a very young age, so his body had to figure out a way to move weight his joints, bones and muscles weren't able to properly support...

River from family Chantel may have a cross over episode soon if he keeps going with the weight gain.

For sure!

[DropTheSoap]

Why do I feel he'll never move?

I put off watching the "Kennedy Center Honors".

Last night PBS had In Performance at the White House.  The first time in 5 years!  Hooray!

What the eff does he have to get "situated" with other adults, with his mother? Why don't the adults say, "You're as big as a house. Please forget about us for now and take your hips to Houston and get the surgery."? They always find something to place between themselves and their goals so they will have something to blame.

These people are all massive (haha) weaklings and cowards. He's happy with the weight loss and doesn't want to put in the real work both to move to Houston and to stay on the program.

Ninja Foodi also looks like Darth Vader's helmet.

I have a Gourmia and it looks vaguely Darth Vader-esque as well.

I put off finishing my Xmas cards to watch this...that's OK, I'd miss not chatting with all my PT "family"....is it sad I look gorward to Wednesday nights?

I stopped sending Xmas cards altogether once my son was grown up. I only sent them to brag on him! 

[MsVixen]

Do y'all think his legs would look normal if he lost enough weight?  Would they still bend in like they are now?

[umgoblue]

I have been trying to make the effort to exercise more, and playing basketball....

As he is sitting on the bench.  The voiceover gods should really strive to do better.

[Suzywriter]

Anybody sticking around for Too Heavy?

[7EasyPayments]

Stay safe everyone.

Vaccinate, boost.

Wish me luck, eggnog is my kryptonite, and there is plenty  around. LOLOLOLOL

Merry Christmas, and a Happy Healthy New Year!!!

2022 be good to all.

[Hellga]

Good night, everyone!  Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating on Friday/Saturday!  See you next week!

Off to Too Large now.

Goodnight all! 

[aliya]

Good night, folks. For those who are so inclined, Merry Christmas.  I think we are going to see some massive infection numbers after the holiday. Stay safe. 

[sainte-chapelle]

Ok going to check out Too Large

Hyperextension is a serious issue. I'll be he has never realized that it is a barrier to movement. 

[Lillith]

Well at least he was more successful than last week's hot mess. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all who celebrate my dear Pounders!! 😘

[Eldemarge]

When I was a housewife with two small children, I also started to be afraid to go outside.  Like I'd walk outside to get my mail and think that surely my neighbors are all staring at me, out their windows!  It was ridiculous.  I ended up getting therapy. 

Years later, I'm on anxiety meds and am no longer a housewife and I am fine!  All better.  Except at big parties where I don't know anyone and then I start feel super shy again and weird.

I've never been to Aldi in person but I can get it on Instacart! I suppose I will go there in person some day......

I have an Aldi (been there once) and a Lidl (haven't been there, yet), but they're a 20+ minute drive (though they're practically across the street from each other). Maybe next time I'm over that way, but I don't do that often these days.

Good night everyone!

After the wine I moved onto eggnog w/ whiskey.  Yum.  Good night all and have a wonderful holiday time!

[MsVixen]

Good night, Pounders!!!  Lovely Snark tonight!  See y'all next week and you all stay safe!

[babyhouseman]

Good night. Happy Holidays.

[DropTheSoap]

Happy Holidays to all! Best in the new year!

[TazDevil]

That started off so promising.  And then it was so dull.

Good snarking Pounders!  Have a good night and a Merry Christmas!!

[mmecorday]

Well, this episode was boring AF, but it was great hanging out with you guys! We are having our Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve and my girlfriend's daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren are staying overnight. It's so great to have kids in the house at this time of year. Her grandson has requested lil smokies and deviled eggs so I will make those for him. I'm also making my grandmother's yeast rolls, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and a pasta salad with feta, grape tomatoes, kalamata olives, and a homemade dressing. Girlfriend's making corn pudding, a beef roast and a spiral ham.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!

The humongous thighs are keeping his legs apart. He’ll still have a lot of excess skin there if he does end up losing all that weight, and only skin removal surgery will do the trick, I think.

[String Theory]

No surprise, he's still in NYC......

Wishing you all a festive Christmas, see you next week!🎅🎄

Good night!

This was my first time snarking instead of lurking, and I enjoyed it! Have a good night, everyone! Off to Too Large...

You do the Snark Thing WELL!!!

[Eldemarge]

Well I must go to bed now; work tomorrow!  Happy holidays, all!  You're my favorite batch of secret internet friends and I would make cookies for all of you if I could!
