S05.E21: Where Are They Now? Joe W. and Pauline LIVE CHAT

[leighroda]

Paulines dentist is near my work if anyone was curious

[CouchTater]

I didn't know all that was possible in 1 dental appointment.  I only half-watched, what did she have done, exactly?  Were any teeth pulled?

[DC Gal in VA]

Geez Pauline ............... Me, me, me, me, me. What about how you've fucked up your son's life.

Worried about your teeth, naw you just wanted some pain meds Pauline!

BTW, where does all this money come from for brand new teeth and nice cars?

[Maggienolia]

Wait a minute - they did all that in ONE visit?? Am I have little fugue states where I'm missing chunks of time here??

The dentist said she was going to build up and then put on crowns.

Mom watching Joe fall: "can't someone help her?"

me: "that's a man"

mom: "my God"

 No way. She needs a deep cleaning for her gums before they can even think about anything else.

OK, so I guess yay for Joe wanting to work, but it's not 1953, Sarah is free to work and help support them.

[hoosiermom]

My veneers took 3 appointments. They were very expensive but so worth it to be able to smile without being embarrassed.

[junip]

Did anybody watch Skin Tight a couple weeks ago? Big guy who used to be a pastor went to see Now trying to get skin removal at 475 pounds! He brought home some skinny mini girlfriend soon after. I thought it had to be so fake or the girl had major, major baggage.

Must be nice to be able to take the time to lose weight and have skin surgery BEFORE moving out on your own. Joe should be ashamed of living in somebody else's momma house without a job. Drive for uber, deliver pizzas, anything!

[Armchair Critic]

It will be a long time before he can get a job if he has to wait for skin surgery and then have recovery time. And a minimum wage job isn't going to support 3 people.

The cynic in me says that was some of his appeal for her.

Joe looked so bully-able when he was "running" up that little hill.  I'm not a mean girl, but seriously dude?  You're not ready for that.

As long as there is Cheese Whip on the toothbrush.

Especially since he worked in IT before he started breaking towel racks.  Should be easy to find a job with his background.

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Pounders, saying you think Joe is feminine is okay. Posting pictures of a transgender woman and saying Joe looks like her is not okay.  Let's snark about the show without resorting to transphobia.

Maybe not, but it might help with the cable bill, the car insurance or a just couple of bucks in Sarah's mother's pocket. And yes, Sarah should get off her duff and look for work as well.

If she has Medicaid, in some states it covers dental.

That work seemed to be cosmetic, which is not covered.

[OSM Mom]

I'm still mystified as to how they did all that at one appointment.  Porcelain crowns have to be made. 

[Arynm]

Joe worked in IT before? He has no excuse, he can find a job anywhere!! Lazy bastard

And if he knows he's going to have to take off a long time for the skin removal, then a "throw away" job that would be more intentionally temporary but bring in some money and get him out and in the working world would not be a bad thing. At least TRY and contribute something. Then look for something more permanent in your field post-skin removal.

Not necessarily. Did you see how broken and gnarly her teeth were?

She post on her Facebook page that she works at Target.

I'm under the impression that TLC pays for Now visits and any surgeries he performs. Or at least a large percentage. Anyone else agree?

I am divorced and in my *cough* 40's and you should see the pot bellied bald men with crappy personalities who think they deserve a hot young chick with a rocking body. So glad I have a decent significant other I have been with for years because the dating world is some scary stuff.

[Threnners]

I got it.   He's like a creepy Marty McFly.

Okay, okay Brooklynista just became the latest drawer snatcher with that one! Between her, Mama Anchorabu, and so many others, I can't keep up so I'm just gonna throw a huge pile of gasoline soaked, gender appropriate garments in a pile and you all can grab whatever suits you. There's panties, bras, Speedos, Spanx, Jock straps, thongs, tampons and condoms.............

Aaaaaaannnnd with those last two, I'll see myself out!

Edited to add Threnners to the growing list!

Mom: "She looks pretty good"

Yes, the damage would be covered, but not veneers. We didn't see the whole procedure. Veneers are expen$ive.

[mysticalflute]

Sarah looks less than thrilled at him getting surgery. What was that face after Dr. Now said he was approved?

[okerry]

These are a real thing for horses. They're called Easyboots: 

 

[CouchTater]

Joe is looking better!  He has crossed some threshold, and maybe has turned the corner.  Go Joe!

[Barb23]

Aww, they're holding hands in the exam room.  Reminds of Lupe on the ambulance stretcher holding hands with Gilbert while they were in the exam room.

Does Pauline only have one outfit?

Odds are they were crowns, though. Temp crowns for now. I wanted veneers but my dentist said I have to get crowns. And crowns are easier to justify medically.
