"“We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital,” Whipple said. “The hospital removed it.”

Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman's 36-year-old boyfriend."

This article should also make your local papers too...it's TOO good to NOT print!

649322 2008-03-20 01:11:00 The article was in Bizarre News:

"It seems a 35-year-old woman spent two years in the bathroom of her boyfriend's trailer in Wichita, Kansas (the state, not the band) . According to her boyfriend she has a phobia about leaving the room because of childhood beatings .

The boyfriend, Kory McFarren, brought her food, water and clean clothes and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom, but there she stayed .

"She is an adult; she made her own decision . It was my fault; I should have gotten help for her sooner . I admit that . But after a while, you kind of get used to it," McFarren said .

The story so far is weird enough, but it gets worse .

Eventually she took to spending all of her time on the toilet, even sleeping there . By the time authorities were called her skin had grown around the seat .

County Sheriff Bryan Whipple reported that the toilet seat had to be pried off and went to the hospital with her .

Authorities said they did not know whether she was mentally or physically disabled . "

It being a trailer (see also "Poor White Trash"), make you wonder what he used, if she was in the toilet all the time . SJ, you may be able to shed some light here (we don't really have 'mobile homes' that never move in New Zealand) - would his trailer have had two toilets??

His mobile may indeed have had two full bathrooms . Some very large ones have 2 . 5 or 2 . 75 bathrooms . They would likely also have a maid's quarters . You cannot believe how big these things are .

The mobile in which I live has two bathrooms . . . (with: toilet, sink, tub and shower in each) .


I do not tow this home at all . . . it is double-wide (24 feet wide and 60 feet long) . The utility side is over 80,000 lbs, and the "lighter" side is only 45,000 lbs . It has three full-sized bedrooms, a full kitchen, living room and formal dining room with two full baths . We also have cathedral ceilings in all rooms and drywall ceilings/walls . It requires special permits to move, a tractor (semi-type big rig) to tow each half, and it has to be split to make it fit on the roads .

On the other hand, my RV Trailer only has one toilet with a sink and a combo shower/tub . I tow that behind my vehicle for camping trips and outings to the great outdoors .
