S07.E08: Maja's Story LIVE CHAT

[Armchair Critic]

Once again another person with their hamhock arms hanging out. There has got to be shirts with wide enough sleeves for these people. 🙄

[ShortyMac]

Haha from Christian. "Do you think they have Urgent Care in Texas?"

"I'll check and see if it's a third-world country."

LOL

[umgoblue]

He is pretty funny!  She doesn't appreciate his humor.

[55Unicorns]

Yeah, Christian is gone already...

No intimacy? Does she realize that she can use her hands and mouth for things besides food?!

...still no “puke” emoji. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Christian. Just go. Leave now. 

She's freaking out about potential bedbugs and whether or not Texas has medical facilities? Holy shit. 

[Miss Chevious]

Let’s see how this road trip goes. How many drive throughs will they hit? 

[Suzywriter]

Hmm. Not a very functional couple. He's on the spectrum and she needs a good whack upside the head.

[Splashes]

Oh no. I missed the start of the episode.

Really?

Yes - I thought in some of those photos she had some very nice features that are now buried in flab.

[umgoblue]

She yells and the way she snatched the purse from him doesn't bode well, either.  She should want to support herself.  She is relying too much on him and his support.  Good grief...he had to make the call for her.

[Smoothcoat]

What a miserable bitch. Don’t like. 

[Caoimhe]

Just wait till she gets to the airport...  (saw a clip on YouTube earlier)

I left work at lunch because it started snowing around 11 and they were predicting snow all afternoon and I was concerned about the roads, so I took a half day. They actually weren't too bad and it doesn't look they got all that much worse (it's turned to rain now, I think), so it probably wasn't really necessary, but I didn't really want to be there anyway.

Yeah. That's how I've been feeling for the past few weeks. I don't have SAD, but this snow is getting to me and I don't want to go anywhere. Fortunately, I can get into the uni's network from home and I can pretty much have a normal work day from home in my pjs. I wish I could do this all of the time. :  )

Given that she hides the extent of her fast food habit from him... does she hit on him on the head during bathroom breaks so she can sneak off for some fast food while he is coming back to?

Greetings.......food = LOVE(check); Divorce (check); Not truly loved by mom (check).  Food is her friend (check)  Mom calling her fat (check)...  Rejected by dad's new family/dad stopped being a big part of her life..This is going to be a long evening I'm afraid.........

My eating habit was two pieces of salmon and asparagus..... and a couple of Hobnobs.....(these are UK Biscuit cookies).

Errmahgahd....Hobnobs!!  I literally beg anybody I know that goes to England on a vacation to bring me back one or two packages of Hobnobs. Milk chocolate, please!!! 😋😋😋

Oooo, she's got a temper. Yikes. 

But is she madder than Nicole?  We'll have to wait and see

Hello Pounders, my dinner tonight is a bottle of wine!

Yeah, and demanding he find her phone and fetch her her purse. 

[88Keys]

What up, Pounders?!  I'm a bit late.  Tonight's eating habit was Ellie Krieger's Tuscan Soup.  In an effort to lose 10-15 pound in the next two munt, I will be skipping the wine and having some hot tea later.

My initial impression- Maja is well-dressed.  She also doesn't look 600 pounds to me, but I've probably just been watching this show too long. 

Oh, and "Maja" and "Christian" sound like characters in a romance novel.

[MsVixen]

At least, the "How To Train Your Dragon" ads are cute!

[Miracle Maxie]

Two unlikeable people. Maybe this won’t be boring. And that’s before we really get to know the (usually) unlikeable parents. 

[sainte-chapelle]

Give me my red bag with my makeup!

I had to look them up. They look good - like an oatmeal cookie? They kinda look like there's coconut, but maybe that's just the oatmeal.

Yes, very much like oatmeal cookies - no raisins and a bit more crumbly.  Great with a cold glass of skim (of course) milk.  I have to ration them out or I'd eat all of them in one sitting!!!!!  Don't want TLC coming to film me in the shower, if you know what I mean!  LOL!  Fortunately no worries of that happening.

Highly recommend Hobnobs!!!

[Armchair Critic]

Christian is not that bad looking, he looks like he may have more options than some of these doormat caretakers so her getting bitchy with him may drive him away.

I got Hobnobs in a local shop a while back.  I ate them like a poundticipant, only victory was getting home before I dug in.  No more for me.

What!? No people staring at her in the airport scene?

I'm laughing, but I admit to bringing 2 Sam's Club size boxes of Splenda to Iowa when I moved here, just in case Splenda didn't ship to the Midwest.  :  )

[cmpbl]

She's in pain y'all 

[Hellga]

Ah so they are flying and not driving.  That certainly limits fast food options!  But in the airport, they may just stop at every one between their gate and the exit!

[Julyolo]

Curiously, I too had to work two jobs to support two sons. When they were 15 I made them get jobs at a fast food restaurant. They have never eaten anything like that since. They are both normal weights. Just an idea for parents.

Me, too.  I always do.  Never get to hear the tragic backstory.  

[FormeryHeavyJ]

You have to find a place to sit?????  You just sat for four hours!!!

[DC Gal in VA]

Hey, we've been cheated! No journey of a thousand miles through the airport? Oh wait, here it is...............

[Wanda]

Wow. He tried to walk past her seat. Either totally checked out or, as someone mentioned, he’s on the spectrum and doesn’t “get it”

and I say that as an autism mom

Wow, Christian is probably here, among us, right now

Come on Christian. Out yourself. You are among friends here. 

Oh yeah. "Honey, I have to sit in the back, we can't seem to sit together. Sorry!" Sure. One point to Christian. That was clever. 

"I'm in so much pain". One more "I'm nervous" and I'll have bingo!

[aliya]

Jeez - why don't any of these people get assistance in the airport? I've had it a few times; it's no big deal.

[suev3333]

If he met her on the internet, I'm sure hes got women waiting in the wings on there 🙄

[Splashes]

Was she in first class?

[Susanlynn9]

At least she's walking in the airport...no wheelchair. Oh no, she's getting irritated.

Edited February 21, 2019 by Susanlynn9
hit some wrong letters

[shouldbedancing]

Christian doesn't look too worried about sitting in the back

[CrazyInAlabama]

I'm sad.  No drive thru window in the sky.    At least the plane seats look comfy.        

The possibility that people are staring because of the camera crew never occurs to any of them, does it?

Portland Oregon.

No honey, Houston has no urgent care.. Idiot.

"OH, my Hip" doesn't have the ambiance of "OH!  MY LAYG!!!"

Not really. I weigh probably 400 lbs plus less and long sleeve blouses are a horror.  Darts in the breast area no longer exist and sleeves constrain  the neck,  shoulder and upper arms.  Everything is about horrible tops and tunics.
