She clearly exaggerated her claims. The article says “The constant pain in her back, neck and thoracic spine left her unable to lift groceries, do chores or play with her two children.” Yet she can toss a Christmas tree, and win the whole competition? She can play with a dog for over an hour, but can’t play with her children?

She tried swinging for the fences for the largest payout and missed. She may vey well experience pain, but once you start lying, where does the lie stop? If she wants a payout for a dynamic disability, that’s what she needs to claim

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
