wallysmommy January 21, 2017 Share January 21, 2017 Learning disabilities do not preclude you from holding a job. I work in a hospital and we have several learning disabled, long-term employees. One worked for 25+ years in the cafeteria, with full health benefits, and was a loyal, reliable employee. Her parents and her manager worked with her to help her have a life of independence. She walked to work of her shifts and was always on time. As we often see on JJ, it's somewhat of a family tradition for people to go down certain paths of independence or subsidized assistance. 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4784-all-episodes-talk-all-rise/page/240/#findComment-2921949

marleyfan January 22, 2017 Share January 22, 2017 Quote I loved JJ's passionate tirade that a new SSA chief would be on board soon and how disability, foster care and other payments should be suspended while people are in jail. She does piss me off sometimes, but she has it right a lot of the times. I worked the Medicare call center for years. We would get lots of calls for claims being denied because the beneficiary was incarcerated on the date of service. When I worked billing for an ambulance company, we got the same kind of rejections from Medicare, too.

I helped with apartment maintenance for awhile - mainly going in after tenants left, doing the heavy lifting cleanup and then painting after a the place was cleared out and before the finish cleaning crew and carpet cleaners came. Truly appalling how some folks live. The complex had professional pest people visit periodically, which I suppose cut down on the visible trash. After they were gone, though, I sometimes found closets full of pizza boxes and assorted fast food trash. One of the worst was a girl who moved out after fighting with management one hot SW Oklahoma summer. We couldn't enter until her official eviction date. When we finally gained entry, we found she had dumped food out in the fridge, unplugged it, and left it to stew for the several days before we got inside. Luckily it wasn't my job cleaning THAT out, it was bad enough hauling it outside to be worked on. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4784-all-episodes-talk-all-rise/page/240/#findComment-2923666

Mondrianyone January 23, 2017 Share January 23, 2017 I'm a few days behind my DVR on JJ episodes, but I just watched a rerun from around 2013 that was on here last week. Wondering if anyone else saw it? One family was suing another for dental expenses when the little girl the mother was babysitting in her home hit her son, causing him to break a tooth. Something about that girl gave me major Bad Seed vibes, the way she kept smirking every time the other kid's injury was mentioned. I told myself I was just imagining it, but then the father of the babysitting family mentioned having to cut her down when she tried to hang herself in their yard (probably because there were no babies or dogs around to hang!). And then in the hallterview, the injured boy said she suggested playing Truth or Dare, and she made him do things like lick the bathroom sink, and then she said she bopped him on the back of the head, and oh, well, he chipped a tooth--evil grin. I'm pretty careful not to say bad things about little kids, but that girl gave me the willies. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4784-all-episodes-talk-all-rise/page/240/#findComment-2924487

Zahdii January 23, 2017 Share January 23, 2017 (edited) I hate it when parents put bills in their kids names. Many years ago I knew of a couple who did that. After the father ruined his credit, they moved the bills to the mother and ruined her credit. Then the father went into business with his father and brother, both of whom had excellent reputations in their line of work. The shady brother put his wife in charge of the books while he drummed up business for the shop. Very soon the two actual workers were begging for money for groceries while the shady brother and his wife were buying new cars and furniture for their home. Within three months they closed the shop and declared bankruptcy. They had to return most of what they'd recently bought, but they were smart enough to make sure their home bills were paid off first. Then it was time to move their bills to their 16 year old daughters name. They told her that when she turned 18 she'd have excellent credit because they'd make sure to pay all bills off on time, etc. Luckily for her, she got a boyfriend that clued her in on what her parents were doing to her. She didn't believe it at first, but by the time she was 18 her credit was shot and her parents were telling the boyfriend it was time to put all the bills in his name. Instead he married the girl, they moved out and went to work repairing her credit and keeping his in good order. The last I heard of them, they'd held off on having kids until after they were able to buy a home and are still married. Her parents live in a motor home parked on some relatives land and they have to work for another relative for peanuts, because no one else would hire them. They should be retired now, but they have to keep working as best they can because they never learned how to save money and screwed over everyone they came into contact with.

vibeology January 25, 2017 Share January 25, 2017 I don't know if anyone else got the case about the benefit concert but I found it a welcome relief from feuding couples. Also, the lighting and staging guy did great work for $900: http://brentpayne.com/photogal2.php?dir=coronadepot (I love google) I'd hire that guy. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4784-all-episodes-talk-all-rise/page/240/#findComment-2930260
ItsHelloPattiagain January 25, 2017 Share January 25, 2017 Quote One of the worst was a girl who moved out after fighting with management one hot SW Oklahoma summer. We couldn't enter until her official eviction date. When we finally gained entry, we found she had dumped food out in the fridge, unplugged it, and left it to stew for the several days before we got inside. Luckily it wasn't my job cleaning THAT out, it was bad enough hauling it outside to be worked on. I live in a townhouse and had a neighbor to the right that left all her crap in the place, including leaving a full fridge in a place with no power. After a week or so in the hot Florida weather, I pull up to my place and there's a guy in the front yard trying to clean the fridge with a bucket of water. I loaned him my hose AND gave him a gallon size bottle of bleach to kill the smell AND all the roaches running out. Meanwhile on the left side, the non paying folks finally took off in the middle of the night, leaving head-sized holes in the wall and broken glass everywhere. It looked like an atomic bomb went off inside. Took the owner $4000 in supplies to get the place fixed up. Thank goodness I have owner-neighbors now. The guy that bought the atomic-bomb townhouse comes home from work every night and works in the postage-stamp sized yard. He mows the teensy patch of grass with a push mower. It's been nearly nine months but I want to weep with joy every time I see him when I pull up.

Also, the lighting and staging guy did great work for $900: http://brentpayne.com/photogal2.php?dir=coronadepot (I love google) I'd hire that guy. I liked the plaintiffs. I couldn't decide if the defendant was a well-intentioned guy who was in over his head and/or wasn't too bright, or if he was a scammer. I'm still not exactly sure what his charity was, but considering he likely lost money on the benefit, it's probably not doing too great. The one snippet I got was that he wants to thank/support veterans...but then he talked about how he would advertise the benefit at places where veterans would congregate, so is he making them buy a ticket just to give it right back to them? Either way, even if his heart's in the right place, I don't think this is the right path for him. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4784-all-episodes-talk-all-rise/page/240/#findComment-2930542
Mondrianyone January 25, 2017 Share January 25, 2017 (edited) Plus, if he has the drive and energy and emotional connection to a cause to go to all the trouble of having coins made, composing and printing and distributing flyers, hiring venues and bands, etc., why is he on disability from work for anxiety and depression? That's more than I accomplish most days when I'm not depressed. To be clear, I'm not minimizing depression as an illness. Been there, done that, took the meds, went to the therapists. But when I was slogging my way through depression, I couldn't do anything remotely that active--or that optimistic. And I kept going to work, too. ETA: Just looked at that link--thanks so much for posting it, vibeology! What a shame that so much effort and professional talent went into creating an event that drew only fifty-five people. I can't figure why they (he) didn't promote it on social media. Surely one of their kids could've helped with that.

AZChristian January 25, 2017 Share January 25, 2017 I can't put my finger on why, but I had a hinky feeling about the defendant. I would love to be wrong, but I got a scammer vibe. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4784-all-episodes-talk-all-rise/page/240/#findComment-2930746
NYCFree January 25, 2017 Share January 25, 2017 I think the defendant's charity was to create specially minted coins and give them to veterans as a thank you. I think his heart is in the right place, but he lacks any kind of practicality. If I'm right, it does seem an odd choice for a cause. I support health care and job preferences for veterans, but I wouldn't give money so they could get a commemorative coin. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4784-all-episodes-talk-all-rise/page/240/#findComment-2930789
