S05.E11: James K's Story

[MrsRopersCaftan]

I can only imagine what's going on in the minds of these firefighters and EMTs. The sounds of James bellowing like a wounded rhinoceros are making me want to punch my TV. 

And I think it's criminal that they pulled Bayley out of school to be her father's caretaker. (Side note: my phone keeps trying to correct "Bayley" to "bakery". Totally apropos.)

[Ms. Bubba]

I only cheated a couple of times. I can only imagine what that entailed.

"rushed".

Ha! We thought the same thing. "Rushed" - probably more like five hours. "Ow! My leg!"

[Kid]

He was home 3 days and  he only cheating a couple of times.  I wonder if each of those times lasted all day each!

HE JUST SAID HE ONLY CHEATED A COUPLE OF TIMES.  OMG, what is wrong with these people???!!!  Told he's a month from death, and he ONLY CHEATED A COUPLE OF TIMES!!!  And is confused and concerned that he's having chest pains.  Oh Lordy.

Sorry for the all caps yelling.  At least you're not hearing it in person.

I, too, am yelling at the TV. My cats are looking at me as though I've lost my mind. Which I have, thanks to this show.

This is how horrible I am. But my first thought was when his GF was letting him cheat, maybe she is tired of taking care of a big man baby and hastening the 'process' to you know what ?.

That would be a mercy for him, her, his daughter, all of us at this point.  Jaysus.

[55Unicorns]

Who gives a damn what you want, you big baby?!?  

[poeticlicensed]

Did she just hand him a soda?

I don't want fish! I want Chinese! That's what I want!

I think James is going to be the first patient who dies.

[Brooklynista]

And here comes the soda. Ugh.

I wonder why he was so glad he didn't have the heart attack.  He's done nothing with the life he's had. Go on ahead and tap out. Eat the Chinese food. Eat it all. 

Yeah...she wants him dead. I get it but damn.

[Schippmom]

What an ass!   A taxi and loading up on groceries would be cheaper in the long run

[BXD]

Rice is her concern???

[Armchair Critic]

Egg rolls and friiieeed rice. Oh hell no!

[Pers]

Bunch of dumbasses. 

[Haenim]

So only rice is on the do not eat list, but not egg rolls so egg rolls are okay. Are these people stupid?

[SkinnyMinnie]

Ordering Chinese smh Dr. Now is going to lose his sh*t!

They could have done ALL of this back home ALL of this. That makes me so mad. 

Yeah - imagine if he'd been eating 1200 calories a day for the 4 months they were trying to get money for the trip. Maybe he would have lost enough weight to fit in the van and his father wouldn't have had to remortgage his house. But no. Like most of these people, and I don't care how they got that way, they are incredibly selfish and self-focused.

Aw jeez - cravings... wait - they order out a lot because they can't get a cab while the car is out of commission? Wouldn't it be less money to get a cab once a week to and from the grocery? I've done it. "Order me Chinese...that's what I want..." holy moley. This isn't going to end well.

[Ms. Bubba]

It's FRIEDDDDD!!! that takes out all the carbs, right?

[okerry]

I think most of these people need to be on Intervention, not this show. They are as hard-core as any heroin junkie.

[Ms. Bubba]

I really think he is the worst one yet. By far.

[Threnners]

What a surprise.  Not.

[Dharma]

Wow, after all he has been through AND CHF to see him eating this crappy food. He clearly does not get it, nor does his girlfriend. He is the most annoying I have seen on this show, even more than Pauline.

Ain't a jury in the world that would convict her.

[Maggienolia]

"I know I'm making good progress" ... ???? towards the grave, yeah, pal... great progress!! Keep it up. 

[MrsRopersCaftan]

They can't afford to get the car fixed, but they just bought about $40 worth of Chinese food. They're eating out constantly, and he's acting like a little kid at Christmas over the thought of his dessert. But he can't go see Dr. Now because he can't afford a taxi.

I'll take "Sh*t That Makes No Damn Sense" for $2000, Alex.

"but not fried rice". smdh!

Are those little yellow horns sticking out of his feet? Shirley, they can't be toes!

SMACK that SOB!

But it's FRIED rice so it's okay. Apparently, the process of frying the rice changes it into something like a zero-calorie, fat-burning, miracle food. Cuz, FRIED!

[AlterWho]

"Hey baby, are you ready for bed?" He's been in bed for 2 years!!!

[Kid]

My dogs have a better life than Lisa.

[Pers]

Geez, now she's sleeping on the floor. "What if I have to go pee pee?" Just leave, stupid woman.

[Carrie]

I can't help but interpret some of this behavior as a reversion to infancy.  I mean he has his poopy bottom cleaned and he cries and moans like a spoiled little baby when he hurts or when he wants something.  I think the fact that his spouse is 15 or 20 years older is no surprise and consistent with his apparent desire to be mothered and treated like an infant, with no responsibilities.  I wonder - did he ever hold a job?  Did he ever have any adult goals for himself?  Learn a skill? Pay a bill?  What is it with this woman giving him Chinese food?  He has just been told he's in congestive heart failure, for God's sake.  I find this story one of the most troubling and infuriating....

[Schippmom]

Msg is great for congestive heart failure...good lord

[Southernmama]

I don't think he's playing with a full deck.

[whydoiwatch]

This is just too much. Lisa has to sleep on the floor in case he shits the bed.

His elderly father refinanced his house so this dick could go to Houston and gorge on Chinese food. OMG

[Threnners]

No, you are not stuck.  Call aps and walk out.

[Galloway Cave]

This is really twisted.

[Haenim]

..so, she can't sleep in her bed in her room because what if he has to go to the bathroom? He lays in his shit and urine all day anyways, what's the problem now?

"Mama" issues from day one...

[Ms. Bubba]

so what if he gets mad if he doesn't get his food? It's not like he is Prince Charming anyway. Let him get mad while you go out for a walk. Or tell him, the more you holler, the less food you get.

 

Really, some of these people need me to move in - they WOULD lose weight.

[Maggienolia]

RUN lady!!! RUN RUN RUN!!!!! Run far. Run fast. Hell, crawl, just get the F*** away from this a$$hole. She's has FINALLY come around to the fact that she is (in her words) "wasting her life" just being this jerks beck-and-call-girlfriend. So sad. She needs some serious counseling and a makeover and then she needs to get on with her life. 

[CouchTater]

I want to give Lisa some girl power!  Get off that floor!  Tell him no when demands something he shouldn't have. 

Or just walk away.  You have my permission.  Damn, girl.

Oh yea, I was right there with you!

[baileylucas1216]

"It's fried!" Lolwut

[Ivylady]

I had to come out of lurkdom to comment on this train wreck. James is the worst. The absolute worst one I've ever seen. Not even Penny made Edgar sleep on the floor at night to tend to her needs. I want Lisa and Bayley to leave whether he walks or not and never come back 

[Spooneroonie]

OMG, I never thought I'd say this: but we found someone worse than Penny.

"I got too much goin' on right now to go to the doctor." Yeah, all that whining really can take a toll.
