Thats the one I was talking about on my previuos post. From eyewitness reports, it was pretty nasty.

Anyone see this from a couple weeks ago…

A 480-pound Martin County woman has died after emergency workers tried to remove her from the couch where she had remained for about six years.

Gayle Laverne Grinds, 40, died Wednesday, after a failed six-hour effort to dislodge her from the couch in her home. Workers say the home was filthy, and Grinds was too large to get up from the couch to even use the bathroom

Now to the hard to ask question:
So how did her boyfriend go #2? Assuming that trailer only had one bathroom.

That there’s one fine lookin’ double wide

Alden Pyle on March 13, 2008 at 12:14 PM

That double wide probably has one bathroom…where did he go?

right2bright on March 13, 2008 at 12:22 PM

Time to reveal my redneck roots. That there’s a single wide folks, and most that are that old only have one bathroom.

Two years? This incident reminds me of a question on Hollywood Squares:

Q. Which of your five senses tends to diminish as you get older?
A. Charley Weaver: My sense of decency.

dude, what??! there has gotta be an underlying story; usually people follow circular pathes in their lives. Perhaps he was abusive? Pretty intense, and shame on him for not doing something after 2 freakin years!!!!!

It wasn’t really a poop joke…it was a toilet/anal sex crossover joke. Poop was only the crossover mechanism…the mortar between the bricks, as it were.

What kind of social life did these people have, or not have, that no one, outside of the ‘boyfriend’, noticed her absence?

Stephen King could have written this. Sounds like Misery part2. Kathy Bates play the woman in the toilet this time?

tee hee hee! Poop jokes are ~~always~~ almost never funny.

lorien1973 on March 13, 2008 at 1:43 PM

There. Fixed it.

They had to have had a second bathroom. My question is, didn’t her friends and family miss having her around? Didn’t they ask what was up? Leaving her in there a week would be appalling. TWO YEARS?! It’s unbelievable. Unless there are some missing facts here, How does he not get arrested and charged for some sort of abuse or negligence?

I wonder if she ever told her boyfriend that the meals he prepared for her tasted like CRAP.

“When John Kerry is elected president, people like Christopher Reeve and Pam Babcock are going to rise up and walk” I think I remember John Edwards saying something to that effect.

Sorry, I just slipped back an election cycle. Let me get up to date. It is all George Bush’s fault!! Bush lied and the seat was pried!

And another thing, where did the boyfriend go potty?

People can be awfully strange.

My aunt and uncle once bought a “fixer-upper” where the previous family continued to use the toilet after it broke They didn’t stop using it, or the area around it, until the floor rotted out. Then they switched to a hall closet. When that was full and the floor rotted, they moved to a corner between the wall and the fireplace. Don’t remember how many kids they had but one was baby. It did it’s thing wherever it was in the house. The mother would put newspaper over it. There was old, yellowed, and stained newspaper stuck to the floor all over the house.

Saw it all with my own eyes; smelled it with my own nose. And got sick more than once cleaning and rebuilding the place.

So I suppose this gal was at least lucky the toilet flushed. If not … well … I suppose her head would have been sticking out the top of the trailer.

Funniest line of the thread!

I hope she had something to read.

But seriously, somebody needs to flush out the truth.

I only have one question….what is her/his source of income? Did he go to work each day and support her, or are they on public assistance of some sort?

She’s now confined to a wheelchair — does that mean she’s disabled and qualifys for disability? And the police are talking about charging him so that they can put him in jail at public expense.

Sorry, out of time — I have to get back to work so that I can continue to pay 40% to the federal government. Someone has to take care of these people.

Yikes. When I told my husband this story yesterday, he told me if I sat on the toilet for a day he’d call the authorities. Sweet huh?!
Seriously, what the heck is up with their relationship?

4. no doubt she is a Dem. Who do you thing she is for Obama or Hillary??

Fandango on March 13, 2008 at 12:59 PM

I am going to say Hillary as I am sure Universal Health Care would use our tax dollars to help her to pay for a toilet that she could get up from.

Third question, did the emergency personnel had to wear gas masks just to reach under and have access to the toilet lid and remove it from the toilet itself?

Ugh…

By: Kokonut

Kokonut — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 17:52:49 +0000

What I consider as a miracle is that the toilet itself didn’t get clogged up. Imagine it did. How’d one unclog it with the woman plastered, heavily so, to the toilet seat? Second question, who did the flushing?

Anybody else think it just gets too good that the cops name is Mr. Whipple? I wonder if he told her “don’t squeeze the Charmin.”
