susieq147 August 5, 2015 Share August 5, 2015 Sherri is one of those people who thinks everyone is dying to know where she is and what she is doing every.minute.of.the.day. Didn't she tweet while she was pulled over for speeding or something? 1 Link to comment
RogerFromOhio August 5, 2015 Share August 5, 2015 If she was describing the litigants, she was seated in the jury box. She's an idiot. the litigants are present during the jury selection.... one of the questions they ask is if you know the people involved. 2 Link to comment

What I was trying to distinguish was waiting upstairs until you're called down. She had obviously been called down and should have been paying attention. I realize that she was not in the midst of a trial. Link to comment

When I was called for jury duty we all sat in the gallery and they called names to go sit in the jury box..... then when people were dismissed others took their place..... we were all in the same room with the defendant. I got called for jury duty 2 more times..... the first I wasnt called to go to the courthouse..... and the 2nd the trial was canceled.... I think he plead out Which brings me to another point.... which is correct... Plead or Pleaded?? And which is correct... Hanged or Hung 1 Link to comment
3pwood August 5, 2015 Share August 5, 2015 Which brings me to another point.... which is correct... Plead or Pleaded?? And which is correct... Hanged or Hung In legal circles: "pleaded" is most common among modern writers, though some of us old coots prefer "pled" -- "plead" is present tense, not past. Again in legal circles: "hanged" refers to execution (the convict was hanged) -- "hung" refers to pictures on the wall (or, vulgarly, to a man's sexual endowment). Outside of legal circles, I'm not up to date on what's made it into various current dictionaries, too many of which (in my opinion) defer to styles of usage at the expense of correct grammar. 8 Link to comment

It's a different system here in Hamilton County (also in Ohio, Roger). You're called down and sit in the box during the voir dire. 1 Link to comment

Thanks to 3pwood and SFoster21 for the responses . The Plead.. Pled... and Pleaded would annoy me when I saw news reports and they would say a defendant pleaded out..... it just didnt sound right to me. I like the explanation between hung and hanged... it makes sense to me. Link to comment

Good Lord. I thought my eyes were going to fall out of my head staring at his deranged face…..there is not even a thimble's worth of diplomatic intellectual happening. We are talking about leader of the free world and he gleefully admits that he thinks Rosie O'Donnell is a slob/pig, whatever, at a televised debate. The other gem was Trump gloating that he "gives to everyone (politicians)" and when he calls them for something, they are there. They followed-up with "what did you ask of Hillary," and he, with a straight face, says I ordered her to go to my wedding….and she came. O. M. G. 7 Link to comment

Mumbles August 9, 2015 Share August 9, 2015 (edited) Apparently, during the republican debate tonight Trump was asked about calling women pigs and slobs and Trump's answer was "only Rosie O'Donnell". Good Lord. Bitsy was out this Monday through Thursday from Faux and Friends but was back on Friday morning. I was wondering if she came back just so she could have a good smirk about this, which she did. She was doing a segment with Twitter responses to the debate and someone said, "Rosie responded to this insult" and Bitsy smirked and said sarcastically, "Oh, she did?" (Rosie's response was, "Imagine explaining this to your kids." A woman mocked on national tv for the world to see. So funny, Bitsy. Smirk away.) Here is the video - http://video.foxnews.com/v/4405419198001/top-trending-debate-topics-on-social-media/?playlist_id=930909787001#sp=show-clips She owes Rosie her career. Rosie stands for everything the far right hates - feminist, gay, anti-war, outspoken. When Bitsy ginned up a feud with her, she catapulted herself as a heroine of that crowd. She's rode that pony for 8 years now. Pathetic. Edited August 9, 2015 by Mumbles 11 Link to comment

And like most dull people, Bitsy is not complicated - she has no core values, holds no opinions that haven't been fed to her, and plays the role she was hired to play, even if it means being a nasty little piece of work. But hey, she runs through the park waving the American flag so there's that. 15 Link to comment

backformore August 10, 2015 Share August 10, 2015 Funny, how much of Bitsy's "patriotism" consists of the same thing - Running, and wearing the colors of the flag.

She's shouting "America" from the rooftops, without an understanding of what it all means. 8 Link to comment

Mumbles August 10, 2015 Share August 10, 2015 Yeah, I don't think she's funny. I didn't like her last standup except for the very helpful and heartfelt discussion of her heart attack and the warning signs. I guess that's her strong point - her ability to relate to people in a sincere way. I never really liked Rosie until she started speaking her mind after the war. 1 Link to comment

I guess that was where this show stemmed from. Seeing as the casting call was for "christian cooks", maybe this show belongs on a religious station. Link to comment
Mumbles August 12, 2015 Share August 12, 2015 What's strange is that I thought I saw some article about the series and one of the places Sherri visits is a restaurant run by religious Jewish people? (At the time I wondered whether Sherri would tell them that she would pray for them, like she does for Barbara Walters.) I also remember reading that this show has been on for a while now, and it's just that she's taking over for host this season? I've never heard of the Cooking Channel (not to be confused with the food network). Link to comment
marny August 12, 2015 Share August 12, 2015 They're probably seeking Christian cooks because they didn't have enough of them to make the show diverse. It's easy to identify Jewish eateries ( they usually do fit the New York-style deli stereotype) or places with Hindu or Muslim owners (Indian restaurants, Pakistani restaurants, etc.), but there really isn't a specific "Christian" cuisine. So, I'm thinking they were having trouble identifying specifically Christian restaurants by themselves. Hence that's what they were looking for. 1 Link to comment

I'm not buying the idea that a baker who happens to be personally religious makes their pastry with more or less "love" than a nonreligious one. There will be much more of EVERYTHING loving, religious, holy (and probaby horny) if this baker can get on a TV show--any TV show. Sherri will explain to them all that reality TV is the only way to make big money...and once you're on reality TV, you'll fight to stay. 3 Link to comment

I don't think I saw her once since she left The View in any movie or on TV except one day she had an interview on Wendy Williams when I happened to be watching. Sherri is D list at best, and I'd guess half the reason she's been talked about in the media as much as she has is because The View has had a spotlight on its downward spiral the past two years. Good for her to be working, but thankfully it's not in anything I have to see. 4 Link to comment
TribbleTrouble August 14, 2015 Share August 14, 2015 (edited) Speaking of babies, little LJ had his first birthday last week. His father made a video. He's a real cutie. I suspect she still has never laid eyes on her second son in person, but I wonder if his mother at least sent a birthday gift.... Updating to add that it's confirmed that Sherri has never set eyes on her second son. In fact, she's never even asked for a photo. I just can't wrap my head around that. Honestly, I find it incredibly sad not just for LJ's sake but for Sherri's as well. Maybe once all of the court nonsense is done she'll come to her senses, but in the meantime...wow. At a minimum, that is some cold expert level denial. Edited August 14, 2015 by TribbleTrouble 7 Link to comment

Yes, that pesky appeal....except that her comments in this little article directly contradict the arguments that she's made all along in court of fraud. Now suddenly it wasn't fraud or deception at all, but her own fears that he would leave her? I can only imagine the depth of the dents in the desks of her attorneys from banging their heads after she makes a statement like this publicly while the appeal is still pending. Why did she bother with the appeal then? That's just tens of thousands of dollars in additional legal fees flushed down the toilet. And, as we all know, she spoke many times publicly of her interest in having more children even before Sal was in the picture. So what's the truth? It's crazy. She's crazy. She makes no sense but she will write a book about it!! The TV personality said she hopes to turn her bad experience into a book to help other women.
