wouldn't you take the shitty blinds down so you don't have to look at them? also, wouldn't you just pin a blanket up instead of cardboard?

[Angiebla]

Maybe they are too cheap to buy those blackout curtains.

[bowieluva]

Haha WTF? Do you just have an expensive link to everything, or do I have the cheap one?

Those must be made of paper. I got pretty low end ones and they were all annoyingly expensive. Plus windows are different sizes and shit so they always have to get trimmed down and everything, you end up buying something bigger than you need.

It looks weird and horrible.

And weird.

I just asked my friend and he answered "blinds? Like 3 bucks."

OK, so let's say you do suspect something shady going on next door? How did this get discovered again? That's right, she busted out...... After being trapped for years.

Yep. You can get shitty blinds at Walmart for about 5-8 bucks. Maybe the bigger ones will cost you around 18, IDK.

The best deal I've ever found in my whole life....Home Depot had a clearance sale going online. I guess they got rid of their old blind cutting machine and got a new type. They had every single wood blinds on sale that used the old machine. In total, I got 9 wood blinds for about $97 dollars...so maybe I spent about 8 dollars a blind. We looked up videos online to see how to cut them down to the right size. Presto. That's how I ended up with nice wood blinds in my house. My only regret is I didn't get more that day.

Ron, it is creepy, but maybe that person works the graveyard shift. They may be between paychecks- which could explain why they haven't replaced the blinds.


ETA: I really think about Michelle a lot. I do wonder why the other two don't seem to like her much.

[Angiebla]

I read Michelle's book, and I think about her a lot too. She had a shitty life before she was kidnapped, and she was a target of most of the abuse. I really hope she is surrounded by people that care about her and have her best interest at heart.

[bowieluva]

I guess my blinds issue is that I've lived with blinds long enough to know that if you buy cheap shitty ones, you don't save shit because you replace them every couple of months as they are crap.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Michelle Knight has said she doesn't plan to watch "Cleveland Abduction," the Lifetime original movie based on Ariel Castro's abductions of Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus.

After looking at footage of the movie, which is set to air next Saturday, it's probably a good decision.

"Cleveland Abduction" stars Raymond Cruz ("Breaking Bad") as Ariel Castro and Taryn Manning ("8 Mile," "Orange Is the New Black") as Michelle Knight. The primary focus of the movie is Manning's performance as Knight, who was the first kidnapping victim of Castro back in 2002. Knight was held captive, along with Berry and DeJesus, until May 2013.

The most recent trailer of "Cleveland Abduction" is very disturbing and shows Manning tied up in a bed with bruises all over her body. You can watch it below (proceed with caution).

"Cleveland Abduction" will air at 8 p.m. May 2, on Lifetime. A non-associated, Robin Roberts interview with Berry and DeJesus, who have written a book, will air at 10 p.m. Tuesday, April 28 on ABC.

You can watch behind the scene footage of "Cleveland Abduction" with the actors, including Manning, talking about the project HERE. "There's so much triumph and strength, I was just devastated by it," says Manning.

Gee, how shocking that she wouldn't want to watch the movie.

Drapes are pretty cheap. When I first starting dating my now husband, his youngest was 2 and broke the blinds in the front room of his house. It wasn't a good neighborhood and I didn't want someone to be able to peek in the window, especially with 2 kids. So I went to Target and found some drapes that were pretty cheap, I think like $20 or something. Of course they weren't super nice or fancy, but if the point is just to keep people from seeing inside, that's all that matters. Nicer than cardboard LOL.

May 2nd? The preview I saw said April 25th.

[PeaceBeWithMe]

So, I'm watching it. My daughter taped it last night. If this is even 10% factual, this is incredibly disturbing. Jesus. What a nightmare these poor girls endured.

[kathystaind]

I watched this last night, and I said to myself, if just half of this is true and the way it happened, how horrible for all three girls. All so strong to survive being held for all those years!

[Angiebla]

It's on again tonight on lifetime at 8. I'm going to try to watch it all, but after reading Michelle's book that might be difficult for me.

ETA: 5 min in and I'm tearing up. I suck

[Ron_NYC]

This is fucking awful.

[Angiebla]

I have to fast foreward through the puppy part because I know what he does. It's bad enough that he kills it, but to seriously take away the only companion Michelle has?

I don't think this guy could have been more evil.

[queenaevadamthng]

I'm too much of a puss to watch. I'm purposely avoiding anything depressing.

This.

And people who put sheets/cardboard or blankets in windows as permanent blind solutions are terrible, that's trashy as fuck.

My daughter has a blanket over her window. Granted, there are blinds beneath it.

But she works two jobs and split shifts so she's always desperate for sleep.

I'm talking about the shit you see from the street. If you put it over your blinds on the inside to block light, whatever. But if you're advertising your sheet choice to the neighborhood, you need to for-go a couple cokes and lattes and buy a fucking set of blinds.

On the two-year anniversary of her escape from the Cleveland house of horrors where she was kept captive for more than a decade, Michelle Knight spoke out about her new life, new boyfriend and plans for the future.


'This morning I thought, it’s amazing to wake up and not feel like I’m being tortured,' the 34-year-old Knight told Fox 8 Cleveland in a Wednesday interview, before hosting a charity dinner marking the anniversary of her freedom.
'I'm looking forward to happiness, a future, a life I never had. And for two years of my life I was finally able to live.'
Despite her traumatic years in Castro's captivity, Knight has been able to put the past behind her and focus on the future.

On Wednesday, she gushed about her new mystery boyfriend, saying: 'He's such an amazing person. He's sweet-hearted. He's right there with me all the time and he supports everything that I do.'
In addition to her new relationship, Knight recently went on an exciting vacation to Miami, assisted in the making of a Lifetime movie about her abduction and even wrote a song.
'I had to dig pretty deep to let my emotions go into this movie,' she said. 'Because I wanted to give the world something to have hope, courage and strength and know that amongst all the darkness, you can still rise above all that.'
Through the production of the movie, Knight became friends with actress Taryn Manning, the Orange is the New Black star that plays Knight in the television film.

Knight wrote her song, titled Survivor, with musician Aaron D-Boyy Dissell and so far a clip of the song has already received more than 25,000 views on Facebook.
'They loved it. They went crazy for it,' Knight said of her fans on Facebook.
Knight now plans to go to school to become a therapist and hopes to write another book, following the release last year of her memoir Finding Me. Last month, DeJesus and Berry released a book of their own, titled Hope.
'God definitely had a purpose for my life, and it’s definitely helping people,' Knight said.
