On Wednesday night at 9p we are reminded that TLC stands for The Learning Channel, thanks to their show Cheer Perfection.
When one of the moms burns her neck with a straitening iron, the other mom offers to pee on the wound like what you would do for a jellyfish sting. Of course the injured mother says no, but because she is in so much pain she eventually agrees to let her do it. No, the other mom doesn’t do what Nicole Kidman did to Zac Efron in that horrible movie, instead she goes to the bathroom and pees in a cup. After she fills it up, she puts some of the urine on a towel and dabs the woman’s burn. And guess what, it freaking worked. So the next time you burn yourself and you need a quick fix. Forget the tea tree oil, ice or an ointment, just use your own pee. It’s free and readily available whenever you need it.

I am begging everyone who has the Discovery Channel to watch and record 9/11 Firehouse at 8p tonight.
Ten House is located next to what used to be to the World Trade Center. On September 11, 2001, their quiet house was rocked by two planes hitting the buildings they were ordered to protect. They prepped their whole careers for the big one and they were hoping that day would never come. As we know it came and this is the story of 6 of the remaining 12 members who were on the clock that fateful day.
We will hear how their day started off normally and then took a tragic turn. They will explain what it was like being the first responders to arrive at the North Tower and what they saw and witnessed as they got there. Then they will tell you all they did to try to save as many live as possible and the sacrifices they had to make to accomplish that. Sadly they would reach a point of no return when the South Tower came down, some got out, some were trapped under the debris and some were in the North Tower. Then a mayday was called out for the structure that was still standing, but members of Ten House were too high up to get out. So when that building came down, they went down with it.
Both buildings were now rubble and the firemen of Ten House are scattered all over the area like the ashes of the building. Slowly they will make there way home and find their brothers. But those reunions did not last long because they went back to work trying to rescue anyone that they could as their firehouse turned into a makeshift morgue.
Today their firehouse is still active and it is reminder of what happened that day and it is also a beacon of hope that we will go on and not let the terrorists win.
Not only do we hear their stories from that awful day, we relive it with video and pictures. Their soundbites are covered with the images that have haunted us for the last 12 years.
I sit here writing this numb and speechless. The same feeling I felt as I tried to my friends and family 12 years ago and couldn’t get a hold of them. It is the nervousness I felt as my parents were in The Bronx and I was in LA, too far to do anything to help them and not knowing if they were in danger. It is the shock I felt when days afterwards I heard a kid I went to school with died that day, just days before his son was born, a son he never met.
It is a feeling we have to be reminded of every now and again. We can say “Never Forget”, but we have forgotten what that pain felt like on that day. We need to be reminded of it, so we will make sure we never ever feel it again.
So please watch it as a family and make sure everyone you loved ones remember and know what that horrifying day felt like. Never forget and always remember.

I won’t be eating sausages the same way again |

Tonight at 9p on Discovery Fit & Health on My Sex Surrogate, Rosie describes the male pen!s in a way that has changed the way I will eat a certain type of meat dish the same way. When the crew asked her what it was like to see her sex surrogate Gary naked for the first time, she said “I suppose, it kind of looks like an uncooked sausage.” Maybe because I have been looking at them for so long, I never realized til she said that that is what they look like. So there goes my lunch for today.
To find out why she needs a sex therapist, you need to tune into interesting special to find out.

Here Comes Honey Poo Poo |

It is almost time for a camouflage wedding on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo tomorrow at 9p on TLC and the wedding might be held in the bathroom with some “gas masks” instead of outside. That is because Mama June is suffering from some major stress poop and she can’t seem to get off of the toilet. Even though she is stuck on the porcelain throne Sugar Bear declared, “I like my June no matter how much she sh!ts. She can sh!t all day, and I mean, all year but in the end, she’s still going to be my June.” If a man can put up his woman’s poopies, then he can put up with anything she brings his way.
Luckily for the kids, especially Pumpkin, they ordered a port-o-potty for the wedding and they were able to use that while the matriarch was occupying the one they have in the house.
Gotta love this family, they will talk about anything like stress sh!tting, and they don’t care if it is on national TV. Seriously this preview might be one of television’s finest moments all year.
Lastly poor Kaitlyn being trapped in the bathroom with her grandmother. Hopefully she will be OK!

Wesley Warren Jr. is 49 years old and he was The Man with the 132-Pound Scrotum. Tonight at 9p on TLC, you will hear his story and see how he lived with it.
You will see the hell he went through on a daily basis just trying to get around and do things that you and I take for granted. He has problems going to the bathroom, eating, dressing and walking. The worst part about it all, is his scrotum won’t stop growing and it is getting so bad that it could kill him.
He has seen several doctors and none of them know what they can do for him. To make matters worse his health insurance says they will only pay for a surgery if it is in his home state of Nevada.
After years of searching for a remedy, a doctor in California thinks he can help him but Warren doesn’t have the money to pay him. So the doctor decides to do the surgery for free.
Once the surgery is done Warren is a new man, and you will finally get to see him in normal people’s pants! He is now able to do the little things that he has been hoping to do for 5 years, like drive a car and buy normal people’s pants. Yes I said it twice because that is a huge deal for him.
To see and hear his whole story, is really inspiring because he never gave up hope. Even though he is struggling, he still goes on as best as he can. His ordeal is an interesting one and you don’t want to miss a sad story with a happy ending.
Then at 10p it is time for My 40-Year-Old Child. Three people around the world were born with a disorder that causes them to age very slowly. Gabby is 8 years old, but she is the size of newborn baby. Her parents and siblings don’t treat her any differently. Even though she needs to be fed and carried around because she is basically just like a baby. Then there is Jeffrey, 29, who looks like a 10 year old but has the mind of an toddler. He is also deaf and mute, but his mom is devoting her life to him as any mother would. Finally there is 31 year old Audenete, who is like a toddler and in better shape than Jeffrey and Gabby when it comes to her mental development. But like the other two, her family is there to love her and help her out.
The three of them are going to see Dr. Richard Walker and he is going to see if maybe they can help them. Their ageing process is so rare that it doesn’t even have a name. What will he find out when he examines them? You will have to watch this documentary about three loving families trying to help their child grow up like the rest of us.
