  • The plaintiff says she and the defendant have been friends since childhood, so she let her move in after her divorce. She claims her former friend infested her home with bedbugs and stole thousands of dollars, so she’s suing. The defendant says she moved in with the plaintiff to help with her dog-sitting business, and claims her ex-friend lied to the police. She’s countersuing for stolen property and an illegal eviction.
    Case 29-104

      I don't know if I agree with number one. You should be honest especially with your best friend, why wouldn't you be able to. If you can't then you just acquaintances. Friendship based on lies isn't friendship. I mean if your doing something that you can't tell someone the truth about then chances are you shouldn't be doing it. 🤷

      To heal she needs to 1st admit she's got a prob. She won't since she's in denial. She couldn't even admit to the bed bugs or stolen property that are a result of her actions. Her hand also shook a lot drinking the water. She may been in withdraw from a binge drinking event. Which would make her shake, be dehydrated, & be in a foggy state of mind. She was prob had 3.

      They're the same age, but the defendant looks 20 years older. I have more empathy for the plaintiff. She was showing her friend kindness by letting her stay with her off and on for two months, then letting her move in - even after finding out about the bedbugs! And at the end still just wanted her friend to get well and come back. The defendant, on the other hand, is still in denial about everything.

      Yep, you are absolutely right. During an especially rough time my husband and I were homeless and took shelter in a super cheap "flop house" type "hotel". Well, omg it never occurred to me that bedbugs would be a thing to worry about...but the next morning I woke up looking like Quasimodo, my face was swollen and misshapen, I had lumps on me and was itching like crazy. My husband had no indications of having been bitten. So yeah, some people just don't have any reaction and some of us have a severe one. I tend to have the same reaction to any sort of insect bites.
      Needless to say we got TFO of there immediately, washed everything etc. Happy ending, that was a long time ago and all is well, safe and happy now.
      Actually, though, I think I would RATHER be a person with a reaction to those things because the thought of living with something like that and not knowing is just WAY too creepy!!

      INpatient rehab can be a powerful weapon in fighting cravings and delaying the progress of the disease. You are CUT OFF from booze and drugs during your stay, if the rehab properly enforces intended policy. They will help you if you have severe cravings and mental health issues. If you need to, a ride will be given to the ER, again, even if you have no insurance or money, if it comes t it, the hospital WILL help you out, even if it is not ideal. You stay long term it can last MONTHS. At LEAST you get a chance to sober up and then YOU decide. You want to jump right back into substances after you leave. Your choice!

      Actually no. Bed bugs can be hard to spot because they are small, good at hiding and are only active at night. And some parts of the population don’t even react to the bites. So unless the infestation is so large the bugs have to come out of hiding, it’s possible to live with bed bugs without knowing it.

    Actually judge, the bedbug presence is not always known. Not everyone gets bites, even if the bug bites you depending on your body’s chemistry you may have a reaction (the bites and rashes) or you may not have a reaction.( no bites) they are good at hiding and they only come out when they’re body tells them that your asleep. They actually start off being invisible and then they get their brownish reddish color from your blood.They usually hide in the walls , baseboards and under your mattress. So yeah unless you have bites, or your randomly checking your mattress it is very possible you don’t know. Not saying this is the case but just some facts.

    My daughter had a bed bug infestation and she had to throw her kids bedroom furniture away. They literally get deep into the wood and the exterminator couldn’t guarantee they wouldn’t come back unless they threw them away.
    “Can I see proof?” “I don’t have that”. Why do people come so unprepared?
