Charlesfk | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 12:18 pm     http://www.hernandotoday.com/news/MGA1WWHE04D.html Josh sued someone for "permanently" injuring him. Did he got hit on the head and permanently lost the use of his conscience ? Nice guy after all ? Think not... |
Ryn | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 12:21 pm     he wears a knee brace a lot of the time. I saw this article last night and immediatly thought of the brace he has to wear. |
Ryn | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 12:23 pm     This sounds similar to the story he told the other HGs when they asked why he had to wear a knee brace. "....claims he was permanently injured when he stumbled in a small hole in the sidewalk of the former Winn Dixie supermarket in the Western Way Plaza in 1997" |
Wigglepuppy | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 12:25 pm     Maybe the brace is for the appeal? |
Curlyq | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 12:25 pm     Interesting article, though. It's a good argument for not settling out of court. |
Flyonthwall | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 12:29 pm       Okay....I'm trying hard here not to vent....
If you guys only knew how hard it was for me to get any kind of disability from SS for my illness and all the humiliation I went thru for minimal pay....that I paid in all my working years.... To hear this guy suing for something so stupid, then obvisouly not having a problem.....@!#*%... I'm just so angry I can't even type... I have ZERO respect for this guy. Sorry Ryn, delete me if you must....I just can't stomach this...I have to die just to get some help and this guy falls in a hole and is damaged for life???? PLEUUUUEEEEZZZZZZZ FLy is very right now.... |
Marcieb | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 12:42 pm     Poor Fly, geez, that's a terrible ordeal for you to have gone through. No wonder you're so angry! Watching this guy play basketball hours a day (btw, last night was the first time I saw the brace) without so much as a limp. Just another reason BB impacts our lives. Finding out about this injustice--and about 1000 other issues--opens my eyes to things I would never have thought about. |

Hardywins | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 12:59 pm     Dear Fly, My empathy for you. I suffered a fractured ankle a few years ago that has made it impossible for me to walk more than 20 feet without suffering agonizing pain in my entire leg. That was not enough to get me any kind of disability however, After suffering and trying to work for two years, I finally was awarded disability SS but for a different medical disability. To see a rat like Josh getting $80,000 in a nuisance lawsuit and then scampering around like the monkey that he is; burns me to no end. I am in a wheelchair for the rest of my life for all practical purposes. Josh uses his $80k to move to NYC and get in with a cute girl! |
Flyonthwall | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 01:01 pm     Wait wait wait.....sorry you guys...I wasn't trying to get sympathy seriously. I hate when people do that and that is what it sounded like I was doing here and it's totally NOT! I really love you guys for being so sweet to me and caring so much...it really bring tears to my eyes. It's just this subject really irked me BIG TIME! and I blew a fuse... I'm all better now Thanks MarcieB and Zachsmom big hugs to you. {{{Hardywins}}} I can so relate to your position too. Hang in there sweetie...you just have to see the good that is there and look past this mess of life that gets in the way. FLy buzzes of in shame for blowing up so bad |
Djgirl5235 | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 01:03 pm     I also hate to tell everyone, but I have knee problems that require surgery to repair (which I'm very nervous to go to the doctor about) from tearing my ACL... Now... the brace that I have for my knee due to my ACL has metal posts along the side, and hinges... I have twisted my other knee and just have a tensor sort of thing that velcro's closed around my knee... EXACTLY the same as what Josh wears in the house! It doesn't really do anything to stabilize the knee, which is crucial with an ACL injury. Mine luckily doesn't act up tooo often, however, when it does (and given the severity of an ACL tear) I have to wear my proper brace. I am having a very hard time with Josh's story... Could we be hearing something along the same lines as Will's cancer story from BB2???? |
Flyonthwall | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 01:17 pm     {{{{Djgirl}}} Hugs and prayers for your surgery, that YOU will do right? hahaha Get yourself fixed up! All I can say is I hope someone is watching this and will go back to the table here and try to wring this guys neck! Is there a way, even though they settled out of court that they can get their money back?? I'd tell the judge I want a refund on this snart! I can send them all the screen caps they need to show him jumping up and down like Jerry Lewis in a spaz attack! If his leg was that hurt how in the world could he do that?? He was jumping up and down last night after the show when he said "open the fing storage room"..then he thougth he was still on live and he lept in the air at lest 5 times. At the time it looked funny, now it makes me sick! FLy fly needs a nap..she can't spell anymore |
Seamonkey | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 01:35 pm     I agree.. that is a drugstore "knee brace".. I also have ACL deficiency (It isn't there ) and I had a prescription brace made of carbon and titanium.. and for the ACL there was a special part that pressed in below the kneecap. I heard Josh say he had his ACL fixed but then tore the MCL (medial collateral, I guess).. don't know if the drugstore brace works there but.. I sorta doubt it. Good to see your name around, Fly |
Squidward | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:49 pm     Josh got $80,000 for stumbling into a hole outside of a supermarket? I stumbled into a hole a few years ago and sprained my ankle pretty bad. Suing was the last thing on my mind. I cannot stand sue-happy scoundrels. Oh, how I wish this weasel had been evicted last night. |
Ryanc2002 | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:51 pm     I slipped at a restaraunt and bruised my lungs a few years ago, would've sued but my mom worked there. LOL |
Squidward | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:53 pm     Just curious, Djgirl, are you able to jump up and down as Josh was doing last night? I've seen this guy around the house, as we all have, and he sure doesn't appear to be injured. Just remember Josh's motto on the BB website, it is something to the effect of 'get paid without really working'. I cannot stand the guy. |
Hardywins | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:55 pm     Insurance medical scamming seems to be a legitimate profession in New Jersey and New York. Ever see the movie "King of the Gypsys". Also, best as I remember, Dustin Hoffman in Midnight Cowboy was a small time accident scammer as a profession: "I'm walkin' heah!" |
Earthmother | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:56 pm     hmmmmm, My hand was sliced open when an employee at a supermarket dropped a box cutter and I didn't see it until it had already cut me. All I got out of it was a bandaid. Of course I didn't SUE anyone either. I would think if he was injured for life he wouldn't be running around the house and playing basketball. How did he manage to get inside that ball during the bowling competion? |
Ryanc2002 | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:59 pm     Earthmother - I agree up until the bowling reference, I could've gotten into that bowling ball and I've got alot more medical issues than Josh is claiming. Course I couldn't go into the house to begin with because I've got a pump that has to be refilled every 3 months and sometimes without warning I need periodic, completely random dosage adjustments. |
Earthmother | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:08 pm     Maybe he doesn't have trouble bending his knees and sqishing them into his chest..ya think? I guess I just thought that wearing a brace means the knee should be kept straight therefore that kind of bend would not be good for his injury. |
Tabbyking | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:10 pm     i guess slapping cheeks is what keeps his knee in shape. slapping cheeks would keep my knee on his nuts! |
Flyonthwall | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:42 pm     Ryanc...You've got to much class to go in that house sweetheart! It does kinda suck not to have a chance at these kind of games huh? I say we all shout discrimination to Arnold! NOT! Just kidding you guys! But "the fact of the matter is"...these games and so many things like this do keep us from joining in the game. But at least we have this site to join in and have fun and really get to know each other a have a greater respect for each other then they ever will!!!! More power to TVClubhouse! Not for nuttin'...Luv ya's! FLy PS...Merritt..if you reading could ya step up and let us know if we're wrong here??? I hate to get on someone's back when it ain't justified. |
Ryanc2002 | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:46 pm     I think it would be fun to do BB, but I think my doctor playing with a laptop to adjust my meds in the DR would constitute outside contact (as if that rule hasn't been broken before) Edited for a lightbulb above my head. I apply for the first BB after my 21st birthday. Odds are I won't be selected. Since I'm going to college pre-law I can sue CBS for descrimination...hehehe  |
Maryann | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:51 pm     RyanC didn't Eddie require some medical attention when he was in the house? HOWEVER... While I have a lot of respect for you and I think that you are mature beyond your years I wouldn't want you anywhere near any of those folks in that house. |
Flyonthwall | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 06:47 pm     LOL Ryanc...that would be classic! I'm going to start a list of products that are made for only RIGHT handed people, since I am left handed I am being dicriminated against by those manufactures! Anyone else want on board? Ryan you going to handle that suit? ROFL Oh here's a great shot of Josh working those abs...what a guy!
