An unusual NSV

[Roo101769 742]

I had a friend point this out to me as sort of a NSV. It is actually something that never would have happened if I had not had the surgery and lost weight..

I had a small claims case filed in my hometown court. It was a family member who I helped out and was supposed to pay me back, but never did. Long story short I wanted what he owed, so I filed the case. On Sept. 23rd I received a UPS envelope that contained a letter from the tv show "Hot Bench". It is a new daytime court show featuring a three judge panel. They found my case filing and were inviting me to have my case heard on the show. At first I thought I was being punked, no way this was true. I did a Google search and hound out the show was legit. I decided what the heck and replied to them. Less than a week later I was on a flight to Los Angeles!!! We taped the show Tuesday the 30th and I was heading back home Wednesday.

It was completely surreal and hard to believe I really went to Hollywood and will be on tv. ( Air date of the show is unknown right now) I never, ever would have considered being on tv at my former weight. Even the size I am now I felt a bit odd, but not enough to keep me from a once in a lifetime opportunity. When do you get an all expense paid trip out to LA and the chance at 15 minutes of fame? ( Literally - 15 minutes. Half hour show split into two 15 minute segments...LOL) It was pretty amazing. And while I cannot tell you the outcome of the case I will encourage you all to watch "Hot Bench" and be looking for me!!!!

Bonus round NSV..I never could have flown across the country at 316lbs, would have been too uncomfortable. But this flight was awesome..Why? Because for the first time ever I flew without asking for a seat belt extender. Not only did I not need it, I had a few inches of excess belt!!! Wooo Hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's awesome. Did the defendant get to go too?

[Roo101769 742]

Yes the defendant went, and his wife. ( who was his "witness") They must have viewed it as a free vacation considering she had nothing to do with it...But everyone will have to watch our episode to see what happens! LOL
