They could make coffee with the filters they use on that woman in the Rosy Tone cream commercial.

The ironic thing is I like to wear makeup to cover up the redness in my skin, I want anti-rosy cream.

Rocky Mountain Spotted Feet and Flapping Teeth. 

OMGoodness. I'll be thinking of Rocky Mountain Spotted Feet all night. 

I'm terrible - I audit human subjects research and come across all kinds of little known diseases under study. I'm gonna tell aliya jr that I had an audit for Rocky Mountain Spotted Feet, and that it's spreading into our state. He's such a hypochondriac, he'll be shaking in his boots. hahahahaha

Liz is doing far better than I ever expected, but still....zzzzzzzzz

Seriously. The boredom is making me eat more dark chocolate M&Ms.

[fonfereksglen]

I want to reach through the TV and give Liz a hug and tell her she is wonderful.

[mmecorday]

She's choosing her gambling addict boyfriend who STEALS from her over her daughter?

I do hope you’re talking about the wig now.

That's Helen Mirren, and she looks very good for 70+.

[ams1001]

Jennifer doesn't even know how to do laundry. Yeesh.

[Armchair Critic]

The mother doesn't know how to do laundry, shopping, or cooking? Is she royalty?

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh dear god the woman doesn't even know how to do her own laundry. Fetch me my smelling salts. 

[MsVixen]

I remember Jennifer now!  Bitch couldn't even boil water!

[Hellga]

Marissa is onto her - she wants to eat what she wants!  At least, Jennifer is moving to Dawayne instead of bringing him to their apartment!  I hope Marissa will do great without her mother there and actually get a life of her own that doesn't revolve around servicing her needs!

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

“You know he’s not gonna diet wichoo.”

That made my ears bleed a little.

Couldn't remember her name and yes she does, but they still are using filters.

[Ivylady]

Jennifer is such a shitty mom. Picking a man, who has addiction issues and has caused problems before, over her kid. I don't remember their ep, but I feel like this is a recurring theme. 

[Wanda]

OTOH, marissa is an adult and has been doing better with mom away and was resentful of taking care of her in the original episode. It’s not like she’s a teenager or younger being abandoned. She’s mid 20s or older. They’re both drama queens.

[Dianaofthehunt]

How do these lymphomas even get started? What accounts for the round shape?
These are rhetorical questions, I guess.

Isn't it the obvious choice ? LOLOLOL😀

[Azubah]

Just now, Wanda said:

Yeah, it's not like she's abandoning a three-year-old. Jennifer can choose the crummy boyfriend if her daughter is in her 20s.

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Oh poor Jen. Marissa doesn't want to be around her loser boyfriend that steals her money to gamble.  Poor, poor Jen.  My heart breaks for her. /sarcasm

[MsVixen]

Send the bus to take me to hell but I keep wishing that Dr. Now would fry up that mass and show Liz what she's been eating!

She is 27.  I think they do have a very unhealthy relationship and this is all just a part of the dynamics they have.  Hopefully long separation will do them good (assuming they don't spend hours on the phone daily).

[mmecorday]

Bad wigs run in Liz's family.

[Pepper Mostly]

Marissa has a better chance of becoming a healthy adult. Jen is a lost cause. She was carrying on like a 13 year old.

Hey, at least you don't have a tornado coming your way.

The way the weather's been around here lately I wouldn't rule it out. We had a huge storm yesterday, too. Looked like someone was spraying a hose full blast at my office's windows for several minutes.

A couple weeks ago I was on my way home and the sky got so scary dark I pulled into a Wawa and ran into the store and stayed there for 45 minutes. There was a tornado warning for the first 15 or so, but it was raining so hard (and the traffic on the highway was so backed up) I just stayed another half hour and read a book on my tablet.

Stay safe!

A DIfferent World...the Lisa Bonet spin off after she got booted from the Cosby Show. 🙂

I remember "A Different World" a little, but didn't watch it much because I didn't care for it. The only Dwayne I remember is from "One Day at a Time" -- the original series from the 70s. Dwayne Schneider was the building's superintendent, played by terrific actor Patrick Harrington. 😎

They're not rhetorical, but I've never found a good answer from googling around. If you're overweight your lymphatic system gets screwed up, and the lymphatic fluid doesn't flow properly. So I guess it pools?

I am fascinated by the butt wings? Did the person sit so much that the fat shifted there? [/Armchair gets up and walks around the room out of fear of getting them]

[littlebennysmom]

Oh my God, that mass that came off of Liz!  15 lbs, ffs!

[suev33 3]

Imo, the mom should do what she wants.  Her daughter is an adult and needs to get on with her life without her mom.  I love my kids, but id be dammed if i let them tell me who to be with.....even if he is a jerk.  Really none of her business.  Its an unhealthy enmeshment between Jennifer and Marissa....

[rlc]

If you can’t admit to your adult daughter that you’re moving in with your shitty boyfriend, you probably shouldn't be moving in with your shitty boyfriend.

I second that emotion!

[Twopper]

Jennifer needs an intervention by Stacy and what's-his-name from WNTW.   I hate that there are no new episodes of that--it would be a great crossover with this.   Complete makeovers for the ones that reach the target weight.    I can't deal with her braids and that dress.  Or is the dress just a top?

I may have once been party to an April fools prank wherein friend A called friend B and told her she was with the tanning salon, and there had recently been an outbreak of scurvy, “a highly contagious skin condition, which looks like freckles all over your body.” Naturally friend B, being very fair, had done nothing BUT freckle ever since she started “tanning.” She was also a lovely girl, one we knew would have a  vague recollection of having heard of scurvy before but no idea what it was. It was a very effective prank. Friend B laughed heartily upon learning she was perfectly fine —after calling me a bitch, of course. 😊

I bet that every time Jennifer gets dumped by a boyfriend, that she runs home to Marissa.   

[Armchair Critic]

If the mom goes back with the same man she most likely goes back to her same habits and won't feel challenged to improve herself.

[ams1001]

Ugh, between State Farm and America's Got Talent, I have had more than enough of Terry Crews's dancing pecs. And I love Terry Crews.

I've seen lymphedema on small people too though.

So many Dwaynes, so little time.

My personal favorite though

lymphoma and lymphedema are different. "oma" is cancerous, edema is fluid collection.  Blockage of the lymph glands is very much a part of how it starts. Sitting and/or not moving around will exacerbate the issue.

LMAO (hopefully). I got a vision when I read this of butt wings wedged in the chair, and a pounder walking around with the chair still attached!

In these people (there are other issues that can cause lymphedemas too), the fat tissue swells to the point where it constricts the flow of lymph - especially in the legs, where it has to flow against the gravity.  Then over time the body tries to deal with that - it is not normal and potentially dangerous - growing other tissue there - so it hardens, not just swells.  And then it hangs there. 

As far as the round shape - I think it's basically physics, tension - just think of pouring water in the middle of a stretched piece of rubber or cloth - how the shape it assumes is kind of circular too.

Except "Limu eeeeeemu....and Doug" is a clunker.  I have to change the channel or mute the tv when that dumb crap comes on.

Yes, there are other things that can cause it. If you damage your lymph nodes or have the nodes removed after cancer treatment you can get lymphedemas.

Yeah, I can pretty much guarantee that she won't be a success story at the end of this hour.

Except Clinton and Stacy won't ever appear on screen together again, according to Clinton.  His snark on Stacy London is hilarious.

I have read about people like Gayle Grinds who was literally fused to the sofa, so large she couldn't move from the sofa for years. eek!
