on the EIM - as if it was actually some kind of a vast organization

(Hey, I was looking for a “what?” emoji and this came up and I like waffles so there you go, a waffle emoji. Back on topic, sorry.)

What? No, say it is not so.
Here I have been waiting for my invite to join the club and you are saying there is no club and I will never get an invite?

Well, there is a fun “club” of sorts… kinda like how I was sorted into Hufflepuff long ago.
But no membership fees! Just a semi-official garment and a proclivity for popcorn paired with a tasty beverage of your choice.

@MHM

Because… horses.

The byline/story of my life… …and my explanation for one of my scars - where a stallion trapped upside down in a fence bit my leg in his rage and panic as we were trying to free him. In the ER that night they kept asking… what did you say bit you? Not a pit bull, ma’am.

@DreadPirateRoberts - do you occasionally still enjoy being a farm boy? Because from what I am reading you could be my farm boy any day. Just sayin’…

But I am just a horse of course.

@DreadPirateRoberts

the Kanawrecks and affiliated parties have denigrated and taunted (among others):

• survivors of rape

Wow, really?

I must have missed that one.

I had a similar thought. I’m not generally a big math fan, but there’s a time and place for everything.

[Maria]

Make that 3 of us.

Math is NOT my strong suit.

It makes me think…

Don’t lawyers sometimes put on a mock trial for big $$$$ civil suit cases to test the potential likelihood of a positive jury verdict?

I thought that was occasionally a thing when a party was trying to determine whether or not to go to trial, or to settle.

Anyway, I doubt the Kanareks have the cash to fund that sort of legal activity… but if the comments on COTH and any number of YouTube videos analyzing the entire case are indicative of anything…

It all screams “Try and settle with all parties, because it’s time for damage control. LK is in trouble if this suit ever gets handed to a jury to decide… “

@DreadPirateRoberts

the Kanawrecks and affiliated parties have denigrated and taunted (among others):

• middle-aged women who participate in online forums (with the exception of one particular middle-aged woman whose prolific social media posts include manifestos, thinly veiled threats of violent and/or legal actions, and bullying young strangers)
• parents whose children haven’t instigated violent conflicts
• legal professionals who play crucial roles in the justice system
• anyone who works to support themself in the low-paying jobs that make up a majority of the labor force
• survivors of rape
• survivors of cancer

Great post. I feel the need to note two other key categories of people who probably should be included on this remarkable list of folks the Ks have chosen to denigrate and taunt:

• mothers who have lost young children in drowning accidents (Joey)
• paralyzed people who are in wheelchairs (RG’s cousin)

[MHM]

It’s kind of remarkable to ponder the personality of someone who would denigrate any of those groups.

Never mind all of them together.

But, definitely, you’re the “brave” one, VHM. (Sarcasm)

Mocking a cancer survivor for sharing her journey? Congrats, you have reached a new low.

I did not mock VHM for “sharing her journey”. I am disagreeing with those who lauded her as “brave”
for comparing her lifesaving elective surgery to the surgery LK had to undergo to repair her breast and lungs after MB shot her.

She was “sharing her journey” in the process of taunting Seeker and calling Seeker a liar. That’s not brave. That’s cowardly.

CH, our martyr for the bullied, is punching down on a cancer survivor.

What a joke.

[catzndogz22]

The reactions on YouTube and to the 48 Hours episode seem to be a pretty good proxy for what to expect from a jury. And none of those people have seen what she did to GJ. If those texts get entered into the trial, they could be the tipping point for jurors that are on the fence. It’s hard to find sympathy for someone who could do something so unfathomably cruel.

[Virginia_Horse_Mom]

I would imagine Joey might be called to testify at trial, if a judge allows MBs side to present evidence of a pattern of behavior when it comes to LK’s propensity for psychopathic personal harassment of her “targets.”

Most of us read the messages LK sent to Joey, bizarrely and cruelly blaming Joey for her child’s death, while randomly alleging it was due to something unspeakable.

Those messages are one of the most breathtaking things I have ever read. It’s beyond ‘harassment.’ It’s vicious in an unspeakable way. Most of the folks who read the messages feel similarly shocked by them.

We were just reading them though.

Imagine how it might impact a jury if Joey actually testified at trial about what it felt like to be the mother of a tragically deceased child, and on the receiving end of abuse like that?

My guess is a witness like Joey would make quite an impact at trial. My guess is LKs case would be toast if Joey was allowed to testify…

Anyway… we will see.

I am bummed that there wasn’t a response from either Silver or Deininger filed today with respect to GAS’s latest motion. Hopefully there will be something tomorrow…

@Virginia_Horse_Mom

Are you an oncologist or a cancer survivor? Or is this all just a Google discussion for you to pontificate on?

Just to be clear… the comparison between surgeries had NOTHING to do with who’s surgery was “bigger” or “scarier” or “more painful.” But that’s great that you have decided bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction is not major surgery.

A claim was made by Mamapop that Lollypop had a mastectomy. If she did… it seems pretty clear from her appearance during 48 hours that she had breast reconstruction.

Here is a still photo of Lollypop. You can form your own opinion, but my opinion is that if she actually had a mastectomy… it seems like she PROBABLY had some sort of breast reconstruction at some point before this picture was taken. That’s what her public appearance indicates to me.

I specifically brought up breast reconstruction issues in the context of RIDING. Because it impacts RIDING. Lollypop’s lawsuit involves claims about lasting damage, loss of enjoyment when it comes to RIDING, etc.

If you want to keep on posting about this, feel free. But be honest about what was discussed, and why I actually went into details about breast reconstruction, muscle groups and weaknesses involved, and how it impacts RIDING.

If Lollypop did have either DIEP or tissue expander reconstruction, medical experts will submit evidence about this during the discovery phase. If not… then people making the claim that LK had her whole breast removed? Well… it seems they have made a false claim during the course of this discussion.

I don’t have X-ray vision. I can’t tell if she is wearing a prosthesis or a knitted knocker in her bra or has had reconstruction. They all look quite natural.

Sharing personal information of a private nature? Oh no! That’s kind of risky with this bunch.

@BatCoach

@CurrentlyHorseless

I have had surgery for cancer, although not breast cancer. It did leave a scar. I’m grateful that I was able to receive surgery to remove the cancer, and do not consider myself brave for having consented to the surgery.

soooo you had a mole removed? A small benign tumor in an outpatient procedure? Not at all comparable to a double mastectomy. No wonder you do not consider yourself brave. They aren’t in the same category.

Neither is a mastectomy from a gun shot.

@Sdel

@Virginia_Horse_Mom

But by all means, continue with the sarcastic comments if you want. You two certainly reveal quite a bit about yourselves in terms of character and intellect with this particular bit of nonsense.

Kind of undermines all those posts HH makes on those jiggles-type threads huh?

Jiggles type threads? What is that?

[BatCoach]

@hut-ho78

Neither is a mastectomy from a gun shot.

I’m sorry, I have to make sure that I am reading this right… you are (very crassly) inferring that the gun shot LK sustained literally blew her breast right off?

[Knights_Mom]

Might I softly suggest moving on lest the thread get closed for cooling down purposes?

[Knights_Mom]

Boy I’ll tell ya that Wellington sure does get used a lot. And Tommy Lee Jones as an event chair, who would have thunk it?

A polo match honoring people in other disciplines.

[Virginia_Horse_Mom]

It seems to be the goal. They have found a very inflammatory button to push. So they are repeatedly pushing it.

I shall henceforth call this particular button…

Schrodinger’s mastectomy

You know… like the cat in the box with the radioactive atom… but if you open the box to figure out if the cat is dead or alive, etc etc etc… the thread gets killed.

Yeesh. That would have the whole room in tears. I’m picturing the judge struggling to maintain a stone face while the jurors are dabbing their eyes. Not many people would be inclined to monetarily reward LK after that. GAS will likely fight tooth and nail to keep GJ out of it.
