Regarding Dick using "Jewish" in the same sentence with Eric and any other nicknames --- a group of HG were playing golf in the backyard for an endless amount of time last night. Dick was playing, as was Eric, and Dick was doing lots of "play" commentary about all the teams and players and shots they were making. He also had 4 beers during the evening. Dick started developing all kinds of nicknames (for everyone) and he was indeed dropping "Jewish" in there with Eric's names. But he wasn't being derogatory (or at least his intentions were humorous at the time) and Eric was right there with him - if Eric minded, he didn't didn't show it or say anything. He was also calling himself names. If it turned negative later, I didn't see that part. These are the only "facts" (of course from my perspective) I observed.

Yea Bonza! I thought the same thing while watching. It was all done in fun, and Eric went right along with it.

I thought he was just using the term as a descriptive additive to his commentary. His own team name was rather derogatory. I don't think Eric took offense at all.

Goddess...I missed all of the convo's you refer to so am clueless what went down. But almost every time I have seen Eric if he isn't cursing he is making some Jewish comment. So I am willing to cut Dick slack if he named him that, as it's every other word out of Eric's mouth (that isn't a cuss word). So by him constantly referring to himself as Jewish this or that, I could see where anyone would think it's ok, or something he would like. I haven't gotten why Eric keep doing it though, but whatever.

The words may sound harsher in print than then were actually delivered. Sunshyne, do you recall that convo? Dick sounded irritated. when Dust and Amb started really ragging on Eric for his behaviour Dick kinda stuck up for him saying HE figured it was the slop diet. I thought Dick was possibly just playing into Dust and Amb's rant session. Maybe I shouldnt have posted what dick said but I try to write what the people are saying as I take the screencap. Makes it more 'accurate' to the strip. I also thought Eric said he was thinking about telling Dick that his daughter was a B-ch. not sure that he did it because I'd expect Dick to go OFF at him and we would have heard that for sure.

"I thought he was just using the term as a descriptive additive to his commentary. His own team name was rather derogatory. I don't think Eric took offense at all." That's the same way I saw it. I heard Dick go over to Eric at one point asking him to make sure that it didn't bother him and that he knew it was in fun. Eric was fine with it. He would refer to him as angry Jew boy or white rabbit and it later became angry Jew rabbit. It was all part of his running commentary of the golf game.

okay a picture is worth a thousand words. In my family us women are often thin on top and have extra weight on our hips legs. My mom is boney ribby but has a few extra LBS on her. here is a pic of Danielle which should rest the minds of anyone who is worried about her weight. She looks pretty Good and I think the slop was hard on her. no back ribs/ spine showing
Cheers!

Anyone catch Eric's comment during the golf game about Dick wanting to have sex with Dani? Dick was rather nice about it just saying "Eric. Line." but jeez...

Vincent (Vactory) said he wanted to use EvilDick on a website but it was taken, so he switched it to EvelDick. Guess he spells it "right" if he has the opportunity???}

It seems to me that Dick really cares about his daughter and she is really hurting him.. She keeps shrugging him off while he continues to reach out hoping this time in the house can help them build a bridge and get over any strains their relationship has... Am I the only one with this feeling??

I feel like she's young and kind of still being the rebellious daughter. I don't have the feeds, so it's just the TV impression I get, but it's the faces she makes, or more of a jaw/tight lip thing she does. Plus, we (or at least I) really don't know the story. We have a very general overview, but we don't know the details. At 20 years old, it can be hard to just forgive and forget who knows how many years of troubles. If they didn't talk for 5 years- that's a quarter of her life. I agree he seems to be trying, but he can't expect to walk into her life, on TV, and expect everything to be forgiven and forgotten. Obviously she has issues with him for some reason. Maybe it's not even a big deal reason, but being young, it may be to her.

I wish she would put a headband on or put her hair up. All this constantly pushing her hair back out of her face is annoying or maybe just maybe they will try to cut her hair in a veto competition

No, I don't feel that way at all. If Dick cared about his daughter, he would have been there all these years and would not now be an aging old man trying to look and act like an 18 yo punk star wannabe, whose focus in life is bedding as many women as he can. Dick's actions to me are pure selfishness. What Dick is likely feeling is guilt. He doesn't like feeling that way and he wants Danielle to treat him as if all is forgiven and forgotten so he doesn't feel bad any more. I don't believe this has anything to do with wanting to now have a relationship with his daughter as it is a desire to stop feeling bad now that he has his 20 years of ignoring her being shoved in his face by seeing her every day, all day long. I have no patience with men like Dick who spend their entire lives shirking the most important responsibility they have -- and one they brought on themselves by fathering the child -- and then feel oh-so-hurt and can't seem to understand why their child wants little or nothing to do with them.
