Are you sure your neighbor isn't MY sister? 🤣 I can't get her to stop the negativity for ANYTHING,no matter how hard I've tried. But she's very lonely so I take her phone calls, and just put her on speaker and let her ramble for an hour or two (not even kidding. ) Then I read something (usually PTV 😁)while she's droning on and on. All I have to do is throw in some "uh huhs" and "oh really" and she never even notices I'm not really listening to her. (it's always the same crabby *carp*) 🙄 (if this sounds mean, it's not just me who she drives nuts with her whining... she has 7 grown kids, and only one of them still (kinda) talks to her.. it's sad really). 😢

Thanks for your kind words everyone. I wrote the first post at 4am so I kind of was having a pity party for myself. I was up that late because the whole thing is giving me insomnia from stress, and I needed a place to vent. Thanks again, I really appreciate you all.

Well, they are all eating, drinking, & using a litter box (lots and lots of 💩to scoop) so that's all good. I worried they wouldn't, because this woman was a big time hoarder, and had so much stuff to hide in. (didn't know that before I said I'd take them all.) And that house reeked.. but not of cat pee.. just MANY other strong odors. It took us two full days to help the son catch all three.. and their A/C wasn't working 🔥 😰 🔥 The 6yo long haired blonde one has barely come out in two weeks (hides behind my washer) and is very shy and skittish . The 1 yo old has come out and accepted scritches, but he's the only one who will come to me. The 8 yo comes out to play with the 1 yo at night but won't come near me. He runs when he sees me, and hides behind my dryer. (I'm trying to let them come to me, because I'm sure it traumatized them to be taken from everything they've known.) They have weird names: Sir Chief Effen Puss 8yo (white nose fur/pink nose) Fuzzy Butt. 1yo (chipped) Independence Warhol. 6yo (blonde hair) (TMI, probably) sorry for such a long post Here is what the son wrote to me, that got me to take them, and the pictures he sent (pics were taken in his mom's hoarder house, it's not my junk 😂 ) :

Speaking of cats....i just adopted THREE cats (because they were a bonded trio, and their owner died.) The owner's only son was about to have one of them put down because he couldn't get anyone to take it (the oldest one) and he really wanted them to all be adopted together. His bereavement leave(from the Navy) was up, and he had to get back to his ship in 2 more days. So I took all THREE... because I'm a (idiot) sucker for a sob-story. I am not happy I did this, because my husband has been pissed off at me ever since. I thought he'd get over it, but it's been two weeks today, and he has NOT 😭... Why OH WHY did I DO it?! 🙄🙄🙄 (I'm debating even posting this, but WTH) 😭 Ps all the no kill shelters in our area are completely full, and are not taking any cats rn, which is why he was so desperate to find someone (stupid) to take them.

Ha! My husband has a case just like this on his belt (for his flip phone 😁) But he's also 75 years old, so... 😂

Maybe she never liked her mom or dad's surnames, and just wanted to change it. I mean, do we even know Nate's surname? Does it "go" well with Stacia? I'm maybe putting too much thought into this,😁 but I have a niece who had a perfectly good maiden name, and changed it her husband's last name which is... HURLBUT. 👀 Love makes you do crazy things? (no offense to any other Hurlbuts out there) Ps.. I just looked up the name, and all I can find are Hurlburt... But her last name is now 100% for sure HURLBUT. Anyway, to circle back, maybe Stacia has always hated her name and that's why she changed it to his so fast. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's still pretty uncommon. (the only Fred I know is in his late 70's.. so maybe it's due for a comeback. ) https://namerology.com/baby-name-grapher/

My good news for Sunday.. I invited all my (Illinois) family to just hang out at my house and play games, and every single one of the 14 came..even my kid's spouses! We actually all played games together (that is SO rare. ) We had a blast.. especially playing family feud (which I got for only $2 at goodwill 😁) I've been feeling pretty down the last few months (no reason) and this really cheered me up.. big time.😊

Just for the memories🙃

I noped out of Australia because I couldn't stand to look at the women's butt-lips anymore. 🙄

You weren't kidding about the crocs. 😱

Or they could have plenty of money and he's just a cheap-ass. (I've been married to one for over 53 years, so I know) 🙄😁

"After inmates receive a permanent building assignment, rules for maintaining quarters there are strict and detailed. Twenty bullet points in the handbook outline everything from daily floor mopping to precise bed-making technique to mandatory daily dusting of baseboards and pipes." "Some FPI work includes jobs in the facility’s textile factory. The manual notes that the starting pay for FPI positions is 23 cents per hour. There is a waiting list for these jobs and inmates are required to interview for the positions." (underlined by me)

Speaking of Jessa's looks... I just recently binged the series "Harlots" on Hulu. I kept thinking one of the harlots reminded me of someone... does anyone else see the resemblance to Jessa, or am I just losing my mind? (very possible 😁)

This has a bunch of info on the Season 15 cast. I'm putting it here because some of it was kind of spoilery sounding. (shows the social media presence of 8 of the 10 of the cast, before and AFTER the show was filmed.) 😁

Is she wearing a dead rat on her head, or is that her hair? 😂 (her "singing"... OH MY DOG!! )

OH BROTHER.. 🙄 ... " However, we are “roughing” it a bit and sadly, it caused our print shop work to come to a SCREECHING halt! With gas prices as high as they are, it is costing us a LOT to keep the generator running 24/7. People have asked how they can help us and our ministry during this time. The biggest way is – PRAYER. Please pray that our power will be restored sooner than later and that we can get back to work! Secondly, if anyone would like to help our family out during this extra strenuous, financial time, please feel free to donate to our ministry through the “Donate Now” button on our website. "

Interesting article, especially this part: "He must partake in a sex offender treatment program. While the judge mentioned during the sentencing that one of the Federal Corrections Institutions being considered for Josh has a “good sex offender program,” he did not state that Josh needed to partake in it. On the minute sheet, however, the judge makes it clear that Josh’s participation in one of these programs is required. He also has to pay for it." I thought it was discussed here that it was voluntary and that he'd probably never do it? (not that I think it would help)

I thought this was interesting (from Reddit) Why is the defense so worried that Josh won't be able to have access to adult porn (in 12.5 years?) Isn't he a Godly man who doesn't need porn? 🤔 (full disclosure, I have watched some ADULT porn before.. but I don't NEED to watch it.) JS

Glad to see the FF is trending on Twitter. He's Twitter infamous 😁

Me too.

From The Sun🙄 JUST NOW Anna Duggar in good spirits Anna Duggar was spotted in a blue dress with a jacket and looks "a lot blonder," according to the Sun reporter. She was seen talking to a friend attending the proceedings as well and appeared to be in good spirits.

Wahoo! I got MY $397 Facebook check today 😁
