Okay, apprently not a settlement: Among other things, the documents reveal that Suleman collected more than $165,000 in disability payments between 2002 and 2008 for an injury she said left her in near-constant pain and helped end her marriage. California Medical Board Investigating Octuplet Case I've got to wonder what multiple births does to her back and lower extremeties. :cursing:

Omg, it just keeps getting weirder. I was trying to look up her settlement amount (I think I heard it was only about $170,000), and I found this new tidbit: Octuplets' Mom Hires An Agent Hattie Kauffman: She Hopes To Become TV Childcare Expert To Earn Living; She Used Settlement Proceeds For In-Vitro Octuplets' Mom Hires An Agent, Hattie Kauffman: She Hopes To Become TV Childcare Expert To Earn Living; She Used Settlement Proceeds For In-Vitro - CBS News

Fantastic idea! I still admit I'm a bit confused. She is not on welfare nor does she intend to, yet she says she will be able to afford to raise them once she gets her degree. Uh... how is she affording them NOW?

It's not just you. I find it a bit more confusing that MySpace too. :cursing:

Personally I think they deserve more than a smack. I'm hoping somebody loses a license over this.

"I'll be able to afford them once I'm done with school," yet she claims not to be on Welfare and never has been. And her master's degree? In counseling. Omg... You can see her on Dateline this Tuesday. msnbc.com Video Player

Great White Baby Goddess, lol!! At least Angelina can afford to raise her kids. This lady is a baaaad wannabe.

Hehe, excellent analogy.

That's never a good thing... :cursing:

Oooh, very good point about the worker's comp fraud!! I never thought of that! And yes, thos lips were freakin' distracting! She looked like she got them caught in a vacuum hose! :cursing: I was so disgustingly mesmerized by them that it's all I noticed.

It's about freakin' time: FOXNews.com - California Medical Board Probes Octuplet Birth - Pregnancy I saw some pieces of an interview with her on Dateline tonight (I guess they're airing the whole thing next Tuesday), and she sounds like a freak -- like she really doesn't grasp what's involved in what she thinks she can do. Heaven help those kids.

You're right. That's nearly five children a nanny.

She's delusional. :confused:

They won't take them for some time to come, if only because of the liability. Besides, she ALONE will all but FILL that daycare!

How can somebody "stop their life to attend to the needs of their children" and afford to raise them?? She sounds like a nut.

WHOA!!! :confused: Gammy! :thumbup:

I wasn't just hungry, I was ravenous. I called them and said the dog was looking tasty, how soon could they get me in. :biggrin:

Omg, too funny!! :heart:

You know, Tina, when you had that revelation at the beginniing of the year where you started to really FEEL -- I had hoped that would be a true turning point for you, whatever road the results took you down, whether it be forever reconciliation or separation. You had to fall in love with yourself to realize maybe you deserve better. I think the biggest thing about us when we are fat is that we don't care about ourselves. That allows us to be mistreated by others because we believe we don't deserve better. You had this epiphany a month or so, and I believe you grew in the realization that you are a wonderful person who deserves the best life can give you. Though separation and/or divorce should never be glamorized or celebrated, doing what is best for ourselves should be commended.

I <heart> my doctor too. :bananalama:

Omg, me too!! :bananalama:

Matamace, your little froggy looks like it has hiccups or is PBing itself.

I was gonna say it pasted weird, but I fixed it.

Yeah, the Duggar family. Just had their 18th baby not long ago, all aged like 22 on down. Again, I'm all for it if that's what they want AND can take care of them and afford them. It's not an either/or.
