They said that the mom who left her abusive husband got a really good job after getting her divorce.

This may be a strange question, but what do they do with the wedding dresses after the big day? I know a lot of Catholics who use a bit of the dress for a christening gown for their kids, and many brides keep their dresses forever (I know mine is still in the wardrobe in a linen bag), but that is hardly possible with these gypsie monstrosities?

I do hope they make a US version, would be interesting to see the differences.

I found this week's episode absolutely annoying. There are reasons why the police and bar owners are jacked up during the horse fair. These scumbags trying to make themselves out to be victims ... yea right. I wonder how much money was passed between the pikeys and the police during that meeting??? They should worry about policing their own rather than the police being extra hard ... if those people conducted themselves in a manner in which was civilized, there wouldn't be any trouble.

What a load.

When they finish in SoCal they can go to SFL - tree cutting, driveway paving, roofing - but they will need a good deposit - preferably in cash, but if not, you will get a call from your local check cashing store to get "supplies" before starting the job.

I love it! I really love the horses they have and the style of dress. The rest not so much, but, I enjoy the show.

I believe in time they will have to comply.
Maybe. The Amish have become one of the largest sects of puppy millers http://www.bestfriends.org/nomorehom...puppymills.pdf
Efforts have gone on for years to close them down, with some success finally being achieved.

Initially I thought this show was interesting, but I saw an episode last night that was so obnoxious I had to turn it off. It was the episode where the police were destroying their trailors. The travellers kept saying they weren't being treated like human beings and they were so upset about being asked to leave. But it wasn't their land. They were squatting. So the police had every right to kick them out. Did they think the land was theirs because they put their trailors on it? It was really obnoxious to hear them complaining about how they were being treated when in reality they were in the wrong. TLC was making it out to be this tragic situation. I really wish they would have interviewed one of the cops to get the other side of the story.

TLC always shows the prejudice against the gyspies and travellers. It would be interesting the hear from the other side meaning the police and non- gypsy/travellers. Why don't the wedding venues not want them to have their weddings there? Why were the police harrassing them at the annual horse fair?
