Looks like Coltee is pigeon-toed too.

Well, that stinks. But it sounds like you had a good time before you all got sick, so that's good..right? Feel better.❤ If it makes you feel any better, my immediate family had a great family Christmas party..up until one of my daughters (usually the calmest person on earth) lost it over an argument over one of my granddaughters not participating in the family party by being on her phone. (a HUGE no no in our family) She got into a SCREAMING argument (with my sh*t-stirring daughter) and then my third daughter, (usually the voice of reason , also totally lost it this time) jumped into the fray. This was all in front of alllll the kids...it was horrible....at the time. Not like us at ALL. PS we all sat down later and cried and yelled and talked it out..we actually needed to have a discussion about a lot of things. 😜

I'm thinking he's working in something like a recycling plant...which might be loud and maybe dangerous. (I picture forklifts of trash and junk scurrying everywhere.) Just guessing.. but it would be good honest work. His parents should try it.

What?! How cynical can you guys be? Those boys are clearly looking up their favorite Bible verses! (Josh needs a bra)

@kokapetl posted this. I hope those aren't Josie's permanent teeth. They are really jacked up. Does she ever get any nice new clothes of her own? I also don't know why she had a wear a grungy off-white undershirt under a t-shirt, for heaven's sake. What could possibly have been showing that wasn't modest?

Maybe TLC made everyone but Ben change for the group picture, because he was the only one dressed nicely?

Give me a break. I've lived my entire life in the Chicagoland area (both city and suburbs.) I have never had much of a wait, unless I went on a Saturday. (which is just common sense.) She was going on a Wednesday, for cripes sake. She just threw out that tired old trope of DMVs being horrible. (Ahem..we Chicagoans can dis our city, but until you've been through quite a few winters here.... You're not a native yet. And believe you me, this winter has been mild.) Just shut it, Mariah.

"If something seems too good to be true, it probably is" was drilled into my head by my dad. It's good advice. The Browns "thrive" on customers who didnt get that memo.

I had no idea until I just googled it that you could get high from it. Wow.

I didn't see it. But I immediately thought of how tickling can be a form of torture. It was for me when I was a kid. Maybe someone else got triggered and said it was mean?? That's all I've got. Again, I didn't see it. (If I was bigger back then, I would have kicked my older brother in the crotch) Just me?

BINGO to all of the above. Thanks for listening to the podcast so we don't have to.(I wouldn't last 3 minutes) Finally a tip from Jer that might be useful (about free Lightroom tutorials.) Pretty cool how the color of the car changed.

Bold #1. Jer is so eloquent. 🙄 Bold #2. That's very ethical of you (seriously.)

Those kind of earrings remind me of a stripper's nipple tassles. I had to bite my tongue when my 16 year old granddaughter came over to my house wearing some. 😂

See? That's one of the reasons I read these forums. I thought the computerized toilet was over the top myself. I would never have thought about people with arm/neck/back problems being helped by something like that. Learn something new everyday. 😊

Is it because their role in life after the ceremony will to be continuously barefoot and pregnant? Pregnant is a given. Maybe the bare feet signifies "staying at home." (This has probably been said here before, and I'm just regurgitating the thought) 🤔

Hideous. Wow

OMGosh..I had forgotten the poor (all female) nurses had to wear those ridiculous caps. And yep, the expectant fathers out in the waiting room smoking cigarette after cigarrete. So bizarre that we thought that was all normal back then.

We got a new diary entry! Yaaaaay!

My first thought after realizing you said fifty people instead of filthy people, was that I hope everyone was keeping a hawkeye on all the little girls during that party. It would be too easy for a "funny uncle" to corner one somewhere in that big of a crowd. (and I don't mean "haha" funny)

Are you sure you want records like "Boston Symphony does the Muppets Greatest Hits?" (I wish I was kidding.)😂 He got them all (cheap, cheap, CHEAP) in resale shops and garage sales, because nobody in their right mind wanted them. PS. This is not my picture, but it's a perfect example of the *carp* he collects. Not a Beatle or Streisand in the bunch.

Someone come and steal my husband's old, dusty record collection for me, then.🙄

Pincushion hats. 😂 Hee..I can't breathe.

I don't believe for a minute she paid for it. Amy insured free Duggar humper advertising by giving it to Joy, I bet.

I found these answers to the swearing questions on Quora: https://www.quora.com/Was-the-use-of-the-f-word-in-the-1950s-as-common-as-some-recent-shows-have-it-e-g-The-Marvelous-Mrs-Maisel-or-are-they-overcompensating-and-being-too-modern "In male environments it was fairly common. In the mid 60s, I worked in the local paper mill in my home town and the major adjective was the F-bomb. As we were walking out of the mill one morning after a graveyard shift, one of my shift members complained: “I had to work all night on a fucking machine.” “Really?” I countered, “they have a fucking machine in there?” That was the level of normal conversation. I have a brother who sat down to Sunday dinner after his first week in the mill. Perfectly deadpan, he said, “Pass the fuckin’ potatoes.” We all knew where that was coming from." ***************************************** “ Social critics in the 1940s railed at the unchecked profanity of the returning GIs. In the '20s they were lambasting the vogue for four-letter words among the society slummers called mucker posers, the well-bred young people who felt the need "to emulate the manners and language of the longshoreman," as one critic put it. And so on down to the Victorians, whose sermons and statutes were full of references to public profanity. Swearing: A Long And #%@&$ History" ********************** "There has always been a lot of swearing although the amount did vary by occupation and social class. However there were a couple of rules when I was young (in the 1950s and 60s). Don’t swear in front of children, and don’t swear in front of those of the opposite gender. Specific swear words have gone in and out of fashion." ************************** "Lenny Bruce was convicted of obscenity in the U.S. in 1964. The F word was not used in our home in the 1950s or 1960s. Swearing was fairly common in blue-collar work environments and the military, which were exclusively male or nearly so. Some intellectuals used the F word and other swearing either to shock - which wouldn't have worked if it was common - or as a way of claiming something more common to other classes."
