Popular Post NYCFree February 4, 2015 Popular Post Share February 4, 2015 I have this episode saved to "do not delete" on TiVo. I had lap band surgery in 2012 and lost 108 pounds. I regained 42 pounds in 2014. I'm now back to losing. Tomorrow I have my first water aerobics class as I have a severely arthritic knee. As awful as Penny is, she is a fantastic example of how easy it is to delude oneself. I thought I was tracking what I ate, without measuring quantities, and thinking I was just eating 1750 calories a day. It really stung when Penny said " I can just tell how much I eat". I even saw her first episode and vowed not to be like her. Then life's stresses add up and you begin to turn back to your addiction. It is such a lifelong process. I think I need to watch Penny every couple of weeks so that I won't let myself build my own little world of denial and physical laziness. Exercise is a big issue for me, but when I see Penny I unwilling to do ANYTHING to help herself, it motivates me to not be her. 26 Link to comment

cheatincheetos February 13, 2015 Share February 13, 2015 I'm surprised Penny didn't have more sores and infections since she never leaves that damn bed. Perhaps Edgar has some system where he rotates her like a rotisserie chicken every 2 hours. Just set it and forget it. Penny probably would love being basted. 1 Link to comment
Muffyn February 13, 2015 Share February 13, 2015 Given her porn career, we can't be sure she hasn't been basted. I'll let myself out . . . 7 Link to comment
cheatincheetos February 13, 2015 Share February 13, 2015 What?!? Oh the humanity! Please tell me Penny had at least something on in the feeder porn. Well Edgar mentioned that when he buys something healthy, she gets angry with him...And there was the time Edgar was trying to work with the nutritionist in the kitchen and Penny screamed and berated them from inside her pee/poop lair. So he isn't even allowed by Henpecking HennyPenny to buy healthy food for himself or Liam? Arggh, a pee-poop lair. Gave me a mental picture of some huge insect larva building a cocoon out of poop. 2 Link to comment

cheatincheetos February 14, 2015 Share February 14, 2015 (edited) Given her porn career, we can't be sure she hasn't been basted. I'll let myself out . . . Only if a coupon was used for the butter, and another one for the basting brush that hopefully went right to the incinerator afterward. Don't get the wrong brand of butter or she'll yell, yell, yell. Don't get less than 40 lbs of butter in one trip either, or she'll yell. move a few millimeters in bed and turn lobster red. Because savings. And all the Pennypincher Pennies down in Pooville sang amen. Edited February 14, 2015 by cheatincheetos 4 Link to comment
silverspoons February 16, 2015 Share February 16, 2015 The thing that kills me about Penny is that she could walk but chooses not to. I have friends and relatives who are bed-bound due to disabling injuries. Infuriating. This is what bothers me so much as well. I developed severe POTS/OI (basically very low blood pressure & high pulse rate) 5 years ago and I would faint just getting up to go to the bathroom. While waiting to see the Mayo clinic I read so many stories of either women being bedridden or women being so creative about ways to still get out and live life. I refused to let my condition keep me in bed especially when it came to my kids. I remember rolling myself into the side door of the school and grabbing the guidance counsuler's leg to make sure my child got into the classes they needed. I would have my husband help me in the back of my kid's orchestra performances after the started and it was dark and I would put my feet up and lay across the back seats. I refused to miss a minute of my kids lives. Along with EDS my life hurt but it was going to hurt whether I was sitting in bed or out living. Penny can go out in a wheelchair even if she claims it hurts. She is lucky, she has that option. While I do not think Liam should be Penny's crutch , I do believe that he could be the biggest help to get her out of bed. I was surprised that it was kids that helped me as become as functional as possible. Kids are the best cheerleaders. Kids like to exercise along side of you. They are happy for you when you make small progress. I live 8 houses from the school and the first time I was able to walk to the school, there was a playground full of kids cheering for me. It is obvious that Penny is happy with her life. I look at boards where bedridden people are trading tips and asking for help in how to do everything from cook a meal to go to Disneyland. Penny is fine with being in bed. She doesn't want more. I wonder if Liam and Edgar want more or are allowed more(like can Edgar take Liam to an amusement park? or fishing?). 10 Link to comment
Grasonville February 18, 2015 Share February 18, 2015 Who are the people on her Facebook page telling her what a great job she is doing? Are they real? Have they seen the show? Has SHE seen the show? Denial isn't only a river in Eygpt. 2 Link to comment
KarmaG February 18, 2015 Share February 18, 2015 Who are the people on her Facebook page telling her what a great job she is doing? Are they real? Have they seen the show? Has SHE seen the show? Denial isn't only a river in Eygpt. In her mind, and any fans supporting her view, TLC edited her poorly. They also only filmed four days for the entire year update but when there is no update, what's the point in filming anyway. She's in denial and is delusional as are those on her page. I've seen worse unfortunately. 1 Link to comment
Grasonville February 18, 2015 Share February 18, 2015 (edited) Is there a link somewhere to the original episode? I want to compare her (pre-surgery) face to the (post surgery) face now that she is "so much lighter" Edited to add that her "likes" on Facebook include Duncan Hines, Hellman's, and Pizza Hut https://www.facebook.com/penny.saeger Edited February 18, 2015 by Grasonville 2 Link to comment
PityFree February 18, 2015 Share February 18, 2015 Ha! That made me look at her FB. She checked in (is that what they call it on FB? I never use the site) at Elkton Diner for Valentine's. Really, Penny? I think you sent Edgar to get takeout and would therefore need to check in at The Toilet Bed Diner. 2 Link to comment
Grasonville February 18, 2015 Share February 18, 2015 (edited) Exactly - she wrote they said that the food could be brought back: "Well I may be one of the few people who still goes to Elkton diner but they don't have a chance of that mistake again. They ruined our $50. Dinner Ed's steak was well instead of med rare my lobster tail was rubber over cooked till the shell turned brown Liam got blue berry pancakes they did not tell me they now dump blueberry pie filling on them. When I called they said no manager was there I could bring it back-I am like it is snowing and we started a movie already can you just give us a credit for something next time? No there is no manager on duty/ ok will call tomorrow. Okay we are going to try to get on with the night-it's not great we are going to make the best of it then I try to eat a bite of tail. The tail is actually lobster gum I called back we will bring the meats back they are not edible. No prime rib left. She said they have gone out all day fine-no complaints. Great but mine is a dry mess. Then he gets there she looks at it pokes it and she decides I am not firing another 18.99 for literally a 4 to 6 oz lobster tail with stuffing not imperial as I was told. So I end up ordering flounder she did but offer the 4 price difference it actually has the imperial crab in it. So 1/2 hour later sides are ice cold Ed is on way back" Edited February 18, 2015 by Grasonville 1 Link to comment

Really, Penny? I think you sent Edgar to get takeout and would therefore need to check in at The Toilet Bed Diner. And THIS (supposedly from Edgar) on YELP (I like "we go here on a fairly regular basis" - the English is "interesting" to say the least - especially "Edgar" talking about his husband Edgar S. Edgar S. Elkton, MD 1.0 star rating 2/14/2015 "We go here on a fairly regular basis and wanted a easy take out valentines dinner we paid the much higher than menu price for same food with a dessert included that was just a white sheet cake 2x2 square not one of there normal desserts but where it went side ways us my husbands prime was ordered medium rare arrive cooked through and I ordered the stuffed lobster tail which I asked was it same crab stuffing as usual in items but it was more stuffing than crab the lobster was literally chewing gum I called asking if the could do something for us on a mother visit they said no manager was there. I then said Welles font really want to find out in snow on Valentine's Day I will call tomorrow then I started to eat the crab stuffing it was mushy and under cooked hence the ruined tail. I called back and told her that I could not eat any of it and was told "it has gone out all day and no one complained" well that is wonderful for the other patrons but my order was over cooked and do was my husbands. They forgot my sons bacon with his pancake so he had to wait for it to be fired. Just a disappointing experience and now I don't think we will be going back again I have always said they have great breakfast any time but my sons blue berry pan cakes were covered with 1/2 a can of pie filling. I was not told it was s topping when I asked if the has blue berry pancakes all this for over a $45.00 price tag. After my husband went back to them to have it refired they said there is nothing wrong with it they are not going to cook another one do now I have to order something else. Well I ordered a 15.99 item they did not offer the 4.00 difference even. The flounder actually had the crab imperial in it not that breadcrumb crab laced stuffing. Wow losing a customer and everyone I will be sharing this story with better be worth it maybe management will have a different opinion tomorrow . The team this evening was the pits I have pictures they are a thousand words." Edited February 18, 2015 by Grasonville Link to comment

Muffyn February 18, 2015 Share February 18, 2015 I would assume Penny watches a lot of cooking shows (perhaps getting new recipes she can assemble from her toilet bed). Restaurants will say "fire" for start cooking. The expediter will tell different groups when to fire their dishes to try to have an entire order come out at the same time. I'm going to say that's not a huge deal at a diner where she spent a big $45 on meals for three people. I like that she expects us to be impressed by the amount they spent and her use of the jargon. AT the same time, her use of English is atrocious and she is an all around repellent person, but, wow, I am impressed she said fire. 6 Link to comment
cynicat February 18, 2015 Share February 18, 2015 Who orders lobster tail at a diner? Better yet, why is a diner even offering something like that? That's just all sorts of wrong. 12 Link to comment
Grasonville February 18, 2015 Share February 18, 2015 She is a lying liar who lies. Had she "gone" to the diner and been served a meal that she was unhappy with - she could have refused it at the serving time of the meal. Instead - this was placed in a carry out situation (still cooking) while Liam's bacon (supposedly forgotten) was prepared. Then - she called and wanted future credit - for a meal from a diner - that she found "inedible". I want to drive to Elkton - eat - and give a 5 star review just to counter this obvious (yet another) woe is me - victim of life - post. From the Yelp review apparently the diner has a Marilyn Monroe theme. Too bad it wasn't "The Wizrd of Oz" - she would have got her "yellow brick road" 9 Link to comment

MrsClaus February 18, 2015 Share February 18, 2015 As far as I'm concerned, there are some foods that you just don't order in a takeout situation. Steak and lobster tail fall into that category for me. Penny is just looking for attention and something for free. 7 Link to comment
gunderda February 18, 2015 Share February 18, 2015 Do you really expect to order a steak for takeout and to have to be the way you said you wanted it prepared?? Those things cook the longer they set! That thing likely turned to med well on the drive home. 7 Link to comment
Oldernowiser February 18, 2015 Share February 18, 2015 All I could think was that she is just really obsessed with food. I've had bad meals in restaurants and take out. I just don't go back. Oh and I also move on with my life. There's that... 7 Link to comment

4leafclover February 19, 2015 Share February 19, 2015 Something tells me that diner manager is heaving a big 'ol sigh of relief that she will not be returning. I'll bet ordering take-out and then complaining about it so she can get a "future credit" or a refund is one of Penny's hobbies (along with cutting coupons and ordering Edgar around). It's just another way homemaker Penny saves her family money! 10 Link to comment

If Penny and her family had actually dined in at the restaurant, I'm sure their meals would have been better. Or if something wasn't to their satisfaction, it could have corrected right then and there. Long travel times would ruin any kind of food. Penny continues to disgust me. 3 Link to comment
Armchair Critic February 19, 2015 Share February 19, 2015 I almost feel sorry for Penny's husband on Valentine's Day. First he had to pick up the food and schlepp it home. Then when he gets home he has a romantic evening of Penny dining in her pee bed and bitching all night because the food wasn't good. Then later he gets to wipe dinner from her ass. 9 Link to comment

islandgal140 February 19, 2015 Share February 19, 2015 (edited) Is this when she fancied herself as Cleopatra? I think so. That was just so .. ugh! If this had been sorta self-deprecating, dry, sarcastic humor I would have found it funny. But it wasn't. So I didn't. What kills me about Penny is that if I had failed so publicly and ridiculously at weight loss as she had, my ass would not be online talking about food. Point blank. Period. Seriously, 'liking' Sarah Lee and other high fat/sugar non-diet foods on your facebook page! Posting highly unhealthy salt & fat laden recipes! Her mind really does work in mystery ways.

Ocean Chick February 19, 2015 Share February 19, 2015 Move over Penny. You just got ousted as the worst whiner/non-compliant/self-pityest/mother on this show. Take a back seat (if you can fit in it) to Pauline. 6 Link to comment
momofsquid February 19, 2015 Share February 19, 2015 I still dislike Penny more than Pauline. For me the deciding factor was the degree of dishonesty and manipulation. Obviously they both lied about compliance with the program and invented or exaggerated physical ailments to avoid getting out of bed. Both of them tried to use the crocodile tears technique on the doctor. But my impression was that Penny was more inclined to try to twist conversations and situations to gain sympathy and/or get what she wants. Clumsy, transparent attempts at manipulation are a pet peeve in my own life and on that scale Penny pissed me off more than Pauline did. Link to comment
Bellalisa February 19, 2015 Share February 19, 2015 Not to defend Penny but to print coupons on facebook they make you "like" their page first. It's not like she goes "liking" Sara Lee- but goes to get the coupon. I do some couponing and i have to remember to Unlike after printing the coupon or people will be wondering why I like Duncan Hines, lol. Also not to defend her but I could swear in her episode when she showed the dime sized spot and talked about her infection that she said she had cellulitis. Okay that is a serious infection and will leave a quarter sized mark where you got it. HOWEVER, once you get your high dose antibiotics, you are FINE! There would be no reason to have it take you out for months or even weeks- you are sick 2 weeks tops..... She was using that as an excuse to do nothing for a long, long time. . People her age only get it if they are lying around in bed. And/or they have cracks in their skin and poor hygeine where the bacteria can enter. I imagine that she is prone to cellulitis and gets it every now and then. She is lying in bed, gets a bed sore and the bacteria from the dirty sheets act as a way for the infection to get into the system. UGH this woman disgusts me! Okay wow the Valentine dinner! She made poor Edgar go back to the diner? what a disgusting pig this bitch is. 2 Link to comment

Hero February 20, 2015 Share February 20, 2015 Penny's such a bitch. She is trying to humiliate people who actually WORKING. All she does is eat, sleep, and shit in her bed. She makes her husband and poor child do all the work for her. Someone should complain about her. She cooks meals in the same place that she SHIT'S! I am pretty sure that is a health hazard. If I was her husband, I would just walk out and leave her to fend for herself. Maybe then she would actually try and walk. 8 Link to comment
cheatincheetos February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 (edited) Wow, i could barely follow that yelp post! Why don't people take a minute and read what they write? It's hard on Penny to take her hands away from food that long so she has to type fast. Oh, I mean, Edgar! Edgar's Yelp! My favorite part was when she refers to spending *her* money when Edgar is the only one bringing home a paycheck. Who orders lobster tail at a diner? Better yet, why is a diner even offering something like that? That's just all sorts of wrong. It's near Chesapeake Bay. Shellfish might be cheaper near the source and might show up in lower cost restaurants vs the rest of the country. Just my guess. Edited February 21, 2015 by cheatincheetos 1 Link to comment

Pour into large black iron cauldron and bake 4 hours over a bonfire. If the smoke brings the fire department, tell them that you want them to help you live your Cleopatra fantasy. After cake cools, apply frosting with a snow shovel. If the cake doesn't turn out well, yell and scream until your face turns purple and your uvula dances like an earthworm, because it was someone else's fault that you didn't get your YELLOW BRICK ROAD!!!!!!

Cherrio February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 I get there is a lot of kinky stuff out there. Besides being disgusting (at least to me) this feeder porn is not what would fall into a normal kinky sex practice. The problem is that the observer/ person who paid to watch is participating in endangering the life of someone and this is a crime. Technically since Pauline is eating herself to death without the porn it might be hard to prosecute. What if she had a heart attack while performing her burger guzzle and died? It could be argued the person who paid her to do it was paying her to perform and it killed her. Maybe I am just reaching or on the other end, it could be a new category of feeder-death porn, Link to comment
cheatincheetos February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 (edited) I think Edgar needs to tie her computer and cell phone to fishing wire and use it as a lure to get her out of bed. The Internet and social media probably contribute to her problem. But then she wouldn't be able to warn America of all the diners that don't live up to Cleopatra's royal standards. What if she had a heart attack while performing her burger guzzle and died? It could be argued the person who paid her to do it was paying her to perform and it killed her. Maybe I am just reaching or on the other end, it could be a new category of feeder-death porn, Stuff n snuff films? Sounds like the stomach-turning Monty Python clip 'Mr Creosote Explodes' that you can find on Youtube. Edited February 22, 2015 by cheatincheetos 3 Link to comment
cheatincheetos February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 Pauline was nearly 700 lbs but she was walking at the start if the episode. What's Penny weight again, 500? It depends on whether or not the number has been converted from Pennypounds to real pounds. 5 Link to comment
