Loree Jon Jones on "The Price is Right"

There was no misunderstanding, and I don't even know if my daughter remembers it now, she's half way through college. I'm not saying she's THAT way, maybe she just had a bad day, but she turned around, looked right at her and did a little flip of her hair with her hand as she turned her back and walked away. One of the other ladies there commented on how rude that was, but I think she only remembers Allison and the others who went out of their way to show her some attention...no big deal now, but it did happen

I won't discount your experience but will say that its very out of character for LJ to act that way deliberately. From my experience as an aquaintence, when she lived in Hillsborough, NJ, she is generally a happy-go-lucky type and doesnt have a mean bone in her body.

If sins of omission were felonies...we'd all be doing time.

...and the ones that you don't become aware of are the most tragic.

If you get lucky, you'll wake up at four in the morning and realize you have to get in touch
with someone and make it right.
But how many do we catch?.....we are fallible human beings.

We all need forgiveness...well, except me...I've never done anything like that...:angel:




:rolleyes:
 
I gotta say that I've always thought she was one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. For me, a one word description would have to be mesmerizing. I could look at that girl smiling all day.

Now ... what was all that ", she cleaned up well" ? What did that supposed to mean? What was she, a heroin addict or something? What did that mean?

I knew Loree Jon’s father and mother pretty well. They were two of the nicest people you would ever meet. They were great parents. FranCrimi did a great job of standing up for Loree Jon and saying that we should cut her some slack. I agree that there must have been a misunderstanding.

Passing judgment on people you cannot have ever met. Were those the values you were raised with?

You are right. I do not know her. I just now happened to watch the video, and it seems to me that she was a very sweet lady. People change though (for better or worse). Not right to pass judgement on a person that I never knew. I am sorry. We are all only human, and we all make mistakes. I should say the same thing about Vivian. I do not know her, so I should not judge her (based only on stuff that I have read on this forum). Again, I am very sorry (to Loree), for what I said.

I experienced something similar, which may be what happened to you, but I was on the other side.

We were attending the Super Billiards Expo, and it was crowded and hectic. It took us 20 minutes to get through the line to walk into the joint, and I thought that my other half was going to get forfeited. We arrived at the venue 30 minutes ahead of time, but at that time, they made the players and the spectators wait in the same line to get in. I was frantic and upset, worried, thinking my other half would be forfeited after paying the entry fee, incurring hotel bill, traveling there, et cetera.

A female who worked there for Allen Hopkins, who used to post on this forum, came up to me after we finally got inside. She knew me from AzBilliards and started to engage in a conversation with me, just trying to be friendly, of course. But I was so upset that I told her I had to leave. And I did so abruptly, without standing there talking with her.

Thereafter, she berated me on this forum and elsewhere, stating I was a snob. She also berated my other half for every single thing she could think of.

Needless to say, if I could do it over, I would have stood there and talked to her, but I didn't. My mind was elsewhere, and I was upset, though she had no idea. I wanted to get into the tournament venue immediately to see if my other half was forfeited. I was worried and concerned. My other half ran in ahead of me, and I needed to find out if he got in there on time.

There's my story. I'm not saying that's what happened with Loree and you, but sometimes things are going on behind the scenes that you may not be aware of.

To this day, this woman continues to rip me and my other half apart at every turn, so I have heard. I have not read anything written by her in a long while. I feel as though her wrath against me was unfounded, but there's not much I can do about it after the fact. :sorry:

Did you say something like "I am sorry, but I am in a really big hurry, because I am almost late for the tournament signup or whatever, and that I would love to talk to you soon, but I need to run". If a person speaks to another person, and they meet eyes with you, but do not give any type of reply, then I think it is fair to say that it is a snub (if I am using the right word). People should treat others in the same way that they wish to be treated. If a person speaks to you, then you should smile and give them a reply. It only take 2 seconds to give a reply to a person (and that is not too much to ask, no matter how much of a hurry they are in), and I am not referring to your meeting with the person that you knew from az billiards. It sounds like you at least did talk to the person for a few seconds, and that is better then just completely ignoring them and moving past them without saying a single word (like others may have done, if in the same position that you were in).

Yeah, I believe that about her (after seeing the video). She seemed really sweet, and the happy go lucky type (as you put it). Some people do change though (some for the better, and some for the worse). For example, a person that you knew 10 years ago might not be the same type of person today (they may have been very nice and sweet then, but very cold and nasty now). I have experienced it myself (with old friends that I grew up with, that completely changed for the worse, in my opinion). Life (and a lot of troubles that come with it) changes people (some for the better, and some for the worse, depending on stuff that they had to go through in life). Hopefully, Loree is still the same sweet happy go lucky type that she seemed (to me) to be on that show. Can't judge people that you do not know though.

The saying was just meant that she won just about as much money as she could possibly win (she cleaned up well). She won every one of the games, and almost scored 100 twice on the wheel (but scored 100 and then a 15, which won her $1,000 and then $5,000 for the 15, I think), so she cleaned up well (hopefully you now understand what that saying meant). She did great.

Ahhh... got it. Geez, guess I never noticed how well she did. As always, whenever I see her, I just enjoy how bubbly and beautiful she is.

Ppl do change, somewhat over time, but I believe you still are the core person you always were. If, in your example, that the person you knew 10 years ago was under 20 (at the time), then that person may not have even fully "became an adult" yet. Some feel that you aren't fully, emotionally, intellectually developed until you are closer to 30. You definitely have little life experience before 30.

That said, I never discounted the OP's actual experience with LJ. Who knows what was happening at that moment in time. All I said is that it's out of character with LJ's personality.

Unless you really know a person (really well), then you might not know if that person treats all others equally. I think that only in a perfect world (or in heaven) would be people that treat everyone completely equally (without judgement based on looks, or anything else). This is 1 reason about why I am such a shy person, and too scared to try to meet some of my favorite pool players. I do not know what type of person they are, or if they would even be nice enough to smile at me and say hello (which would be good enough for me, to make me happy with the meeting). It makes things so much easier if you have an acquaintance that knows the person that you would very much like to meet, and then you can ask that acquaintance to introduce you to the person who you would really like to meet (for example, I great pro player who you have always looked up to, for a very long time). For some, it is hard to introduce yourself to a complete stranger, and if after you get the courage to do that, and that person snubs you, that would really hurt.

Jammy,
You cannot be all things to all people. It's just too hard to do.
Take me for example. On this forum you see me as a tall, handsome, man-about-town kind of guy with a quick wit, a dazzling repartee, and money out the ying-yang. Well, nothing could be further from the truth.
In the real world I'm a short (4' 10'') hairless hunchback, with a clubbed foot, drooping eyelids, and a lisp. Yes, a lisp.
Do I let it get me down? Hell yes I do, but not here at AZB. Here we can be anything we want to be. We can be one of the world's greatest pool players. We can be fearless gamblers who never loose. We can claim to have rubbed noses with the champions of the past. And, the best thing of all is we don't have to regret a thing.
So, Miss Jam, wipe the slate clean. You did the best you could do under difficult circumstances. That other person who is busting you balls (a necessary metaphor) is not berating you for your perceived snub, but more than likely is insecure and jealous of your station here.
All the best.
Your pal Tramp. :)
