Bugging Out 

Start a business

Date their sibling

#1 is facts. A friend told me to give the truth, I did. And she never talked to me again. A 20yr friendship down the drain over something she asked for and couldn’t take. Smh

I don't know if I agree with number one. You should be honest especially with your best friend, why wouldn't you be able to. If you can't then you just acquaintances. Friendship based on lies isn't friendship. I mean if your doing something that you can't tell someone the truth about then chances are you shouldn't be doing it. 🤷

Play monopoly.

True. At least have a picture of a damaged bed and furniture's. But nada.

It makes it so easy for the judge to snipe down though. It's like they're handing over their ignorance as it's own exhibit.

lol true

Yes

Yes, just like if you told me a dream catcher works, I would expect you to give me scientific evidence.

Well she said she’s getting monthly checks from the government because of her bipolarity. I would assume that’s to cover meds. Alcoholism recovery is free. It’s called AA.

She obviously has friends. She just sucks as a human. Addiction treatment is free. Stop doing it. 😆

@@BloodNote oh wow, you’re so smart! The only reason anyone is ever an addict is because they didn’t know you. “Just don’t be an addict anymore!” That’s why humans have had addiction problems as long as there have been humans, because no one thought of just not doing that.

@@KSakamoto it works! You can't be a addicted if you don't do it to begin with! 🙃🤣🤣

Amen

As a using alcoholic I 100% agree with you. Congratulations on your sobriety!!!! Every day is one step further into your best life.

She's also not doing well from chronic mental illness. I hope she's gotten the help she needs!

She has the shakes, you can tell she is in withdrawal. Hope she gets help and congratulations on your sobriety.

Same here, agree with you, and hope she’s in a better place. I really wish more people recognized symptoms of addiction and realized people in that state need our help and compassion, rather being left to govern their lives when it’s not within their agency and then punished for doing things while inebriated beyond comprehension for the “normal” drinker.

Do you have an email? I kinda wanna talk to you about this if you don’t mind.

I feel the same way. She needs help. :( I hope she finds help and peace.

Sorry to be off topic but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!

@@briargrey7515 yea u can send in a selfie of yourself. You have to click on don’t know password under login and it should talk you there.

To heal she needs to 1st admit she's got a prob. She won't since she's in denial. She couldn't even admit to the bed bugs or stolen property that are a result of her actions. Her hand also shook a lot drinking the water. She may been in withdraw from a binge drinking event. Which would make her shake, be dehydrated, & be in a foggy state of mind. She was prob had 3. I have empathy for her friend. Whom tried to help her, but got a crappy friendship return.

Unfortunately, she's most likely drinks as a form of self medication for her bipolar disorder. Mental illness is not always an easy thing to treat. In some cases, it might not even be possible.

True

People can have shaking hands for many reasons but I noticed hers right away. I had a recovered alcoholic tell me that was an effect of alcoholism. So sad, even the judge was concerned for her

Yes, her skin says that tremendously and she can't seem to follow what SHE is saying.

DONT HAVE KIDS

It’s called P.A.W.S. Post acute withdrawal syndrome.

Yes !!!!

HAVE to. That's the issue. It's real expensive being a soft-place-to-land

Annoying and exploitative in most cases. A sad fact on humans.

That is why you should not move in with someone if you have 1 bathroom.

AMEN

Yes

Yeah...drugs. I can tell by looking at her. If I’m wrong I’m wrong but...yikes!

She's a drunk

@@mrmc9278 really? Do you know her?

@@emilyvaughan4955 Nope. But I've known enough drunks to know she's one. You can tell by her shaking and mannerisms.

👍🏾

mmmmhmmm

She would come and stay with her before she moved in.

@Lake TitiCaca the one who obviously needs help the Blondie

I agree hope she gets help.

@@KP-ki8ws she,s a mess.

Her friend tried to help her, and she lied and stole from her. Yes, she needs help, but the victim is the plaintiff...where's the accountability? I have compassion for the plaintiff, too!!!

You can't trust people with an addiction, friends or not .

I love how he always keeps his composure interviewing the litigants and isn't afraid to throw a little sass in there! 😄

@@mamaraya8818 Sass! 😆 🤣 😂 😹 That word is one of the best in our lexicon.

hahaha

That's funny!😄

Why did your comment make me scroll back up... Lol!

Omg that's so true!!! it's a sickness with me And then I get upset when I see spoilers

I try my hardest lol

People who steal don't have integrity. That's why she did it. No excuses. She is now even lying about it and she is not in a manic state. She does not have integrity.

The best way to get help is to admit that you have a problem first

She looks like she needs Dr. Phil's intervention program.

I hope so

Unbelievable

Not surprising. Sadly the ones you know are the ones who screw you over the worst

I couldn’t believe she pleaded guilty to stealing but claims she didn’t do it. Who does that? Especially for that amount of money! Six grand is a lot and more than likely a felony.

Clearly she has nothing else going on

I think based on her saying its her reason for living could be code that its literally apart of her job. Where she could be her life coach, recovery support specialist or even a case manager. Which they are not obligated to state their profession in public when assisting or attending events for ex court. If their client wishes to be discreet. But are good for support and teaching life skills/ resources to make sure the paperwork after court is handled accordingly on a step by step process. -speaking from a mental health professional myself :)

You sir are correct…truer words have never been said! As much as I feel badly for the defendant, I would be extremely wary of making her “my reason for living”.

And there was not a flicker of gratitude from the defendant when she said that. Guess who the plaintiff in the next case will be?!

I have no respect for selflessness. Helping people is one thing, but like they say on an aeroplane, you affix your own mask first before helping other passengers with their masks. I.e., it is wonder to help others if you can, but don't sacrifice your own interests for the sake of another.

😲

I hate staying in hotels, soon as i laid in a bed at a hotel 20 minutes into my nap I start itching, threw the covers off and there they were reddish brown under the pillows, I have severe reactions to the pest

Yep I can see that 😂

😁😁😁

Maya Rudolph as the Judge

They are sooooo hard to get rid of. They hide in small cracks in wood. I had to buy all new stuff and burn everything. That was ten years ago and it still gives me chills. My poor nephew was bit every night, it cost me about $1000 to treat and still I had to get rid of all his furniture and buy him new stuff.

@@coffeeaddictexpress5038 I live in the city everything I own clothes n whatever else I have appliances all went in the trucks n the heat kills everything without damaging ur appliances and it's true they hide in cracks wall sockets everywhere they also did the apartments next door below n car above me but man it was a good job

Dayyyyyuuummm! What a mess!

Bedbugs don't discriminate there was a time in NYC they could be found anywhere didn't matter wat race rich or poor, u would buy something in Macy's n it would have bedbugs Lucky where I live the landlord paid for everything every apartment on my floor and all apartments on the floor above n below the heated trucks kill everything without doing damage to anything TV and all other appliances it's been a bought 7 yrs. now n no one has had any issues since then

THIS MADE ME ITCH

i just pray she never goes on Prozac or Nuzac, worst pills on earth

Mam are you on drugs? I can hear him now 😄

@@mieshanicole1614 😂😝👊🤣

Thank you for acknowledging that. She does need rehab so she can better, she isn’t responsible for her disease, BUT, she is responsible for her RECOVERY

@@theodorevalino4661 well put!!!! I think in situations like this the court should offer a rehab program. They surely have enough money to do that. I do feel bad for both ladies. This is a long friendship that’s now gone 😢

Well he prob would have cracked some kind of a joke but watching him for yrs what's cool about him, he would of offered some kind of treatment or rehab help to her.

There’s not much more. She’s an alcoholic.

She definitely is drunk in court!

Her accent suggests she’s from Michigan.

@@PoodleHead2005 Michigan?! Ugh!! OH-IO!! Go Bucks!! hehehe!!!

@@PoodleHead2005 I am from Michigan, mate. We are doing just fine over here!

@@michaelshields7777 you can have backwards Ohio. Glad I LEFT.

Terrible that something so tiny can cause so much hassle and damage

What a struggle this must have been. The time, expenses, stress and time involved. You have my sympathy. I hope no one would have to deal with this.

It is probably one of the worst experiences ever. Bed bugs are awful !

Glad he got the help he needed!

Same with my dad. At 55 years old, he finally got the help that he needed

it took me 23 years to realise that my x is the problem, i lost everything due to her in 2005 because the doctor put her on Prozac in 1993, but luckily i stood up again,

True. And exterminators do recommend you throw away everything that has/had bedbugs on it. My daughter dealt with a terrible infestation at a rental she lived in. They burrow into the wood and mattress. So gross. I wouldn’t keep it and you’re right JM wouldn’t either.

I don’t care if I was dead broke! I am not keeping bed bug stuff lol I will sleep and sit on the floor first.

If the items are washed in very hot water, it kills the bugs and eggs, so they shouldn't spread to the next user of the machine. Usually commercial machines can get hotter than residential ones since they're made for heavier use.

If you put it in the dryer on the HOT cycle after washing it, it will kill the live bedbugs and even the eggs.

They're the same age, but the defendant looks 20 years older. I have more empathy for the plaintiff. She was showing her friend kindness by letting her stay with her off and on for two months, then letting her move in - even after finding out about the bedbugs! And at the end still just wanted her friend to get well and come back. The defendant, on the other hand, is still in denial about everything.

Probably had been bitten just doesn’t react to the bites

Yep, you are absolutely right. During an especially rough time my husband and I were homeless and took shelter in a super cheap "flop house" type "hotel". Well, omg it never occurred to me that bedbugs would be a thing to worry about...but the next morning I woke up looking like Quasimodo, my face was swollen and misshapen, I had lumps on me and was itching like crazy. My husband had no indications of having been bitten. So yeah, some people just don't have any reaction and some of us have a severe one. I tend to have the same reaction to any sort of insect bites. Needless to say we got TFO of there immediately, washed everything etc. Happy ending, that was a long time ago and all is well, safe and happy now. Actually, though, I think I would RATHER be a person with a reaction to those things because the thought of living with something like that and not knowing is just WAY too creepy!!

I stayed at friends house overnight and out of town after a late concert and woke up with welts on my legs because his cat's had fleas. At least I think they were fleas???

that was my first thought too. i've seen alcoholics hide fifths of vodka in the dishwasher, the laundry room, the garage. then they always say they don't drink much. grrrrrl you got dishwasher vodka. 🙄

INpatient rehab can be a powerful weapon in fighting cravings and delaying the progress of the disease. You are CUT OFF from booze and drugs during your stay, if the rehab properly enforces intended policy. They will help you if you have severe cravings and mental health issues. If you need to, a ride will be given to the ER, again, even if you have no insurance or money, if it comes t it, the hospital WILL help you out, even if it is not ideal. You stay long term it can last MONTHS. At LEAST you get a chance to sober up and then YOU decide. You want to jump right back into substances after you leave. Your choice! Or do you FINALLY want a better life?

and if you have no insurance and no money, there are places that are certified who will take you in as well. They are not the elite, but if you make the most of it, you can find shelter there. If you have no money at all, there are STILL resources to help you out!

having no money or health insurance is a problem, but they are not just going to let you die. We are beyond that as a society.

And they usually don't feast on people with alcohol in there system

Yea it sucks when someone brings them too you.

and sadly, too often, alcoholics. Once they move in with you and you notice the behavior, it truly becomes a nightmare. Especially when they slam the door on you and continue to drink.

Demand to spend at least an hour in any apartment, condo, room or whatever you are moving into before you sign anything.The varmints will show up if you keep looking

Actually no. Bed bugs can be hard to spot because they are small, good at hiding and are only active at night. And some parts of the population don’t even react to the bites. So unless the infestation is so large the bugs have to come out of hiding, it’s possible to live with bed bugs without knowing it.

I agree with you 💯 %. You can't trust people to even stay with you for a couple of weeks. Bugs are too easy to get but too hard to get rid of ! I don't want no kind of bugs. 🪳roaches, 🪲bedbugs, 🪲spiders🕷, fleas🦟, or 🐜ants neither. And not even flies, gnats, mosquitoes 🪰🦟🦗and no 🐁rats or 🦎lizards.

@@gennyzelis2303 you forgot those ugly little silverfish. Uugghh I do not like those. Some of these things are helpful in their own way, but I just don't wanna see em helping lol. Just stay in your little cracks and come out when I'm sleep.

ShonnaBhadd OMG yes I did forgot those ! And snails 🐌 and I sure did not want to even think about 🐍🐉the reptiles ! And i know they all have their role in the eco system but I'm like you- I don't want to see it!! Now I can handle the other reptiles 🐸🐢🐊🦎

@@gennyzelis2303 oh lawd! I forgot about the random snails. I'm dealing with a few ladybugs as we speak!! They're supposed to symbolize good luck and it's supposed to be bad luck if you kill them, but if you've ever seen ladybug larvae...uugghh!! The babies are nowhere near as cute!

Last case?? There was more than one case??

Oh, many do. AA is proof of that. You can't believe the relief they feel when they finally stop the alcohol and drugs. I've seen amazing changes in people.

And sadly, she is just the next person in line for this person to use. I'm sure there have been many before and will be many after. The woman suing her tried to help her. There is no helping those in denial

@@UnscrupulousAgitator💯the next victim

Lol

Actually it kind of doesn’t, that’s the unfortunate reality of our legal system. People are told “plead guilty and go home now with a fine, or fight it, sit in jail, pay way more than the fine, and go to jail for years if you lose.” I know you think you’d fight it on principle, but you’d be in the minority there.

@@KSakamoto You make a good point and I understand what you're saying. But in the eyes of the law, she did it...like she admitted to in court for that case. She can't unring that bell now.

@@KSakamoto this is so true I know from experience

Actually getting rid of furniture that has bedbugs is “Effin insane” that’s a good way to spread them. Also if you heat treat (like you actually should for bedbugs) you wouldn’t have to get rid of anything.

@@ashleymiller2151 you're gonna have to walk me through how disposing of furniture spreads bed bugs.

@@allbullaside7778 one bedbugs travel fast. Two if someone for whatever reason takes your furniture obviously they would in return get the bedbugs. People take furniture out of the trash all the time. Nasty but it still happens. A single pregnant bedbug could get off of whatever you through away and get stuck to someone’s shoe. They take it home she has her babies.

True. It's a sad case

They both have to agree to being on the show. The litigant probably agreed bc the show pays the awarded damages to the “winner” so it was one more thing off her plate that she knew she’d have had to pay for eventually

She probably WAS suing her in local court (which also isn’t private) and then they both agreed to come on tv

😆

😂

Sad, sad, sad..

Be sure not to repeat yourself.

I like potatoes

It’s becoming the norm. SMH

No. Theyre behaviors and behaviors can be changed you just need will power and Jesus helps too!

@14705mb6 Well-said !!

Yes, and a clear indication of no ethics.

We are on the same page Kate🤣

Yeah she’s all over the place. But it might not be drunken rambling. It could be mental issues and nervousness. She definitely has some issues.

Someone who doesn’t hold their friend accountable is a terrible friend

🤮

And they just recently put this emoji on here🪲for them. They have an epidemic of bedbugs 🪲now. Hideous and sickening.

@@gennyzelis2303 um. That’s a beetle.

Myasia oh. Oops

That was my thought too!

DAMN, nice write down to it, perfect comment you wrote here!!

Its probably never a good idea to self medicate....period mental health issues or not.

I’ve been looking for this comment!!
