    OK. Just throwing this out there. As she was injured in an accident, she may well have had to sue in an attempt to get insurance to pay her medical bills. I hurt my knee shoveling snow and almost ended up suing myself (my home owners policy anyway) because my health insurance is not the primary in an accident.

    I'm sure auntie dearest didn't expect her nephew to write a check but rather the homeowners policy to cover the bills. We all point fingers at people who are sue happy, but with medical bills so high and insurance companies who are eager for your premiums but not willing to cover your losses, sometimes there isn't really a choice.

    Okay, but if she's eating hors d’oeuvres in Manhattan. Doesn't sound like she's really scrimping to get by.

    And anyway, the jury ruled unanimously against her.

    I wonder if his mum's illness was exacerbated by stress? I imagine having a relative SUE YOUR 8 YR OLD is a rather stressful experience.


    This kid should sue his aunt & return the favour.






    THE aunt who sued her young nephew for breaking her wrist when he leapt into her arms at his birthday party won?t be getting a cent, a jury has ruled.

    The panel deliberated just 25 minutes before unanimously ruling in favour of the nephew, Sean Tarala, now 12, who caused the injury to his aunt Jennifer Connell when he was just eight years old in 2011.

    The 54-year-old woman had been seeking $127,000 from the youngster, who was the only defendant in the lawsuit.

    And social media has rejoiced at the jury?s decision, unleashing on Connell and her claim for cash.

    The jury verdict against #JenniferConnell (less than 1/2 hour deliberating) restores my faith in the justice system and just makes my day.

    Women sues her orphaned nephew for hugging her too tight. Pretty much the worst person ever. #JenniferConnell
    ? Ross Chmiel (@ross_chmiel) October 13, 2015


    At the trial Sean was with his dad, Michael Tarala, and appeared to be confused why he was there, the Connecticut Post reported. Sean?s mum, Lisa Tarala, died last year.

    Connell, a human resources manager, claimed she fell and hurt herself when Sean, excited to see her, leapt into her arms at his eighth birthday party four years ago.

    Despite admitting she loves the youngster, who has always been ?very loving, sensitive? towards her, the New Yorker wanted him to cough up $US127,000 ($173,000) in damages.

    ?I live in Manhattan in a third-floor walk-up so it has been very difficult. And we all know how crowded it is in Manhattan,? she told a Connecticut court.

    She told the jurors that the broken wrist still gives her problems even now.
    ?I was at a party recently, and it was difficult to hold my hors d?oeuvre plate,? she said.

    If she was only suing for medical costs, would she just provide proof of billing rather than make statements that her nephew should "take responsibility" & detailing the "traumatic" impact the injury has had on her life?

    Suing an 8 year old is bad enough. Suing an 8 y/o who has been traumatized by the death of a parent, total dick move. There is absolutely no justification whatsoever. This kid is bound to have major trust issues with adults as a result of this. I think it would only be fair to file a countersuit.

    I keep shaking my head saying, "What kind of self centered asshole does this to a little kid?" How this woman can go out in public and show her face is beyond me. She has earned a spot on my Great Big Cunt(haaate this word) list.

    She definitely needs some PR help with her public persona... but really, there was no need for the kid to even know about the lawsuit. It's not like he'd have been writing a check even if he lost. Dad's insurance would have had to cough up the dough (my own suspicion is that Dad is at least as big a jerk as Auntie is) I doubt they'd have made the kid appear in court if Dad had opposed it. But if they needed him to testify... "just tell everyone what happened when Auntie had her accident." "No, you're not in trouble..."

    How do I know insurance involved? Because no lawyer, no matter how scummy would have taken the case unless deep pockets were involved.

    I'd love to know how much her actual bills were and how much "pain and suffering and hors d'vour holding was involved...

    But now, her insurance will kick in, so it's all just a game that benifits the lawyers.

    I don't think there is a PR firm in the world that could help this woman.

    Oh hell. There must be. Someone has managed to convince a good portion of the voting population that the Trumpster is a viable candidate for president... It might take duct tape, but surely someone is up to the job.

    You really think it's just an insurance neccessity being blown out of proportion by the media? I'd decided you were right until I saw the quotes attributed to her about her nephew needing to take responsibility for his actions & the impact of the injury on her enjoyment of dinner parties etc.

    Wouldn't it be pretty much limited to her submitting copies of medical costs to date/an estimate of future treatment costs if this was just about insurance coverage? (genuine question cos I have no idea how it works in the U.S)

    Yeah. If all she wanted was actual expenses. But I think most of it comes from trying to get an insurance settlement and she (I assume) wants a pain and suffering and a lifestyle settlement in addition to paying the bills. So you file a law suit and you expect a sympathetic jury. Didn't work out for her. If she actually said the things she reported to have said, she a stupid bitch, but there are a lot of them out there too.

    West Australian cafe sparks controversy with sweaty money ban
    Posted about an hour ago

    PHOTO: A Carnarvon cafe owner says his staff were fed up with dealing with money carried in people's underwear. (Supplied: Facebook)
    MAP: Carnarvon 6701



    A cafe in the hot and humid Western Australian town of Carnarvon has sparked an uproar by banning people from paying with money stashed in their bras and underpants.

    Fascine Coffee Lounge owner Robin Weeks told ABC North West that his staff, including his son, were fed up with accepting sweaty money from patrons.

    "A couple of people pulled out money from their undies, other people from their bras," he said.

    "We have had people that have searched for things in their pockets and just put their money back in their mouth until they've found it."

    He said he put up a sign on the register spelling out the cafe's policy, but he feared it had simply forced the problem out of sight, and not prevented patrons' unorthodox cash-carrying habits.

    "We did keep the sign up for about two months, but then people just caught on that they could take their money out of their bras before they came in," he said.

    He said he had turned customers away and would continue to do so, and urged women particularly to carry a purse.

    "I know it's basically women, we've had some men that've put it in their jocks and pulled it out from there, [but] I know most women don't have pockets," he said.

    "I really don't know what to say."

    Talkback caller Christine from Meekathara said she thought the ban was unfair.

    "I think it should be allowed, basically, speaking as a woman who often wears clothing without pockets," she said.

    "I agree that money is dirty in terms of bacterial stuff, but I don't think being in a sweaty hand or being in a sweaty bra, [it] doesn't make any difference

    This can't be real?? Surely they're just weird people & the talkback caller was really the wife pretending to be a sweaty bra money lady to justify their strange rules.

    Otherwise Western Aus really does bear little resemblance to the rest of the country.




    Edit : on 4th reading I'm going with my first assessment - as far as I can tell he kicks women out of his business if they aren't carrying a purse because he assumes it means they MUST keep their money in their bras &/or undies.


    What a bizarre little man.

    I don't like sweaty money either, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Besides, she's right. As dirty as money is, a little boob sweat doesn't matter.

    That story does sound like a fake one though.

    Actually, the feet don't look quite right for a rat, I wonder where the hotel was & if it could be something like a nutria?






    This one's feet are wet but they're usually pretty furry looking, the red fur on the toilet rat is pretty uncommon for a feral too - it's rare enough on purebred fancy rats.

    Yeah me too, I've had them since I was a kid but we haven't had any for 3 years - we're about to get some new ones very soon though (hopefully mega ratties)

    I know ferals can get MONSTROUS but something about those feet & the coat colouring is making me think it's one of the naturally big aquatic species - every country has a few that are native & some countries have introduced species as well.




    This is an Aus aquatic rat, H. chrysogaster, they're way WAY bigger than feral rats







    (I think I found a dead one under our house - it was big & weird & had a white-tipped tail. Never I.D'ed it for sure but that tail put water rat at the top of the list)

    The animal in that pic looks like an otter to me. Do you have otters there?

    I LOVE otters but we only have them in secure zoos. Some of them do look very otter-like because they've evolved webbed toes & rudder tails but they're absolutely definitely rats - you can tell if you get a look at their teeth which are 100% rodent.

    This has official info on one of the Aus native species


    http://australianmuseum.net.au/water-rat





    I really wouldn't be surprised if at least some of the giant sewer/toilet rat sightings are just native water rats adapting to city/suburbia because their creeks & rivers are gone.



    Whatever that one is though, I sure as fuck wouldn't want to see it's head emerge while I was using the toilet





    Edit oops & just realised you're talking about the nutria, aka coypu they're an invasive species of water rat in the U.S


    http://www.nwrc.usgs.gov/special/nutria/namerica.htm


    Edit, just found this
