Just saw the rerun last night (me on Sunday night: “_Downton Abbey_ or _Hoarding_? Hmmm . . . .”). **Janet and Pipsqueak:** Their baby died, so their solution was to raise their surviving child in filth and squalor? _Euthanize them immediately_. **Elephant in the Room Wendy** (great editing, _Hoarding_!): Passive/aggressive shit-stirring whore. _Euthanize her immediately_. **Pipsqueak junior:** OK, he was terminally damaged by his parents–but kid, seriously, you are 22, move out and get a job. His solution: move out to the woods and live in a tent? _Euthanize him immediately._ **Pal Derek** : Best friend in the world. Let him live, and dance atop their bodies, going “_dag!_” ---

Yeah, I was really impressed by Derek. He’s rooting through the trash in the kitchen and seems entirely unfazed while the son, who was raised in this squalor, has to run out to barf after he “catches a whiff” of something. ---

I channel-surfed onto this episode while eating dinner last night. Yeahhhhh. People like that walk among us?! And to raise a child in that filth - un-freakin-believable. ---

Uggghhh. We had a “garbage house”. It was a rental that some normal looking people rented. Things were fine for a few years. Eventually the rental became garbage house. Except this was caused by drug use (pretty sure it was meth). Apparently meth makes you so lazy you can’t even throw out the garbage. You know those large construction dumpsters? Thats how much trash was in the house (and I packed it down!) So much damage was done to the house (that I mostly fixed myself) that the realtor said we could change the build date on the house :eek: When we finally got em out of there the “man” saw me and said “don’t mess with me, I am having a bad day”. I guess moving made him grumpy. Me? 10’s of thousands of dollars in damage and 9 months of personal hard labor for free? Aww shucks thats a cake walk compared to moving. ---

> [@Larry\_Mudd](#): > > That doesn’t sound much like methamphetamine _at all._ Well, maybe not when on the “high”. But they had a chicken coop. So they could buy feed. But they didn’t strike me as the farmer types. And supposedly there is something in chicken feed you can extract to make meth. But who knows, maybe they were just crazy, lazy, nasty people that happened to like chickens. ---
