Yes, Oliver (who retired to Texas, btw) had a mitochondrial dna disorder.
Oh yes. I saw in TV the other day this girl who was 29 and looked like a baby – literally. She didn’t grow, didn’t develop, didn’t walk (but she did crawl and could stand holding on furniture), her face was deformed… my first thought was “wtf, human/ape hybrid”, because her behavior was almost… apelike, y’know? Turns out she had a severe thyroid problems, and being born of illiterate, very poor people (and I do mean very) in the backwaters of society, she was never diagnosed or treated. Sad stuff.
Sounds like hypothyroidism. It’s quite common, and the sad part is it can be treated with a readily available hormone treatment called Thyroxin which is exactly the same hormone that a normal thyroid gland produces anyway.
Whoa, did the pianist really say that upon seeing Oliver aggresively mount Janet, he resolved to buy Oliver and brought his mother to meet him?
That is what it sounded like he said. lol
Yeah what a kook. I mean really, think about it, ” Mom there’s some one I’ld like you to meet”. LOL was the guy playing cupid?
I had some time to kill, so I watched the whole thing.
Fascinating! The ending was chilling . . .
You are NOT my daddy!!!
I was thinking the same thing. I mean, there can only be one Ty’s daddy, and it’s me.
I havnt watched the rest, just this one clip, but I found the idea really creepy.
Fascinating!
