I always assumed they were trucking in pumpkins. In our area it's common for pumpkin "farms" to truck them in. I'd say Roloff farms is more agritainment. Several farms around our urban area do this. A little growing, farm animals to pet, tractor rides, lots of stuff to buy. The city kids get to see open space and animals. With the price of land, taxes and other expenses it's very hard to make money actually farming.

Joy looks cute. She looks like an average young woman at a wedding. I'm surprised how much leg she is showing!

Get that child some Barbies. Our Barbies and Kens were married and sometimes Barbie was pregnant. Although there was that time my brothers GI Joe stopped by and took Barbie for a ride in his jeep.
I feel like those poor kids don't have any toys. Not even yard sale or thrift store toys.

Do folks still name shame? We've come a long way from everyone being named John, James, Michael, Mary, Linda and Susan, so 'different' names stood out.
I would think Israel and Sam be going to school with Braydens, Liams Caydens, Bellas, Avas and, yup, Madisons. It seems to me all names are 'different' in this day and age and I'm not counting the Apples and Psalms.
Lots of different names and creative spellings. Jill's kids would have pretty boring names in our local schools.

Israel is quite common as a first name in Latin America. Where we live I know several men and boys named Israel.

Tori, my suggestion would be call your doctor, advice nurse or a midwife. I understand engagement on social media, but this drives me crazy. But if she called a doctor she wouldn't have fans telling her how special and brave she is.

In less than two years she went from learning how to use a pottery wheel to having her own garage studio. She just completed a 200 mug order. Sierra also went from having a smallish garden to a Jana sized garden in the last two planting seasons. And she homeschools/moms 7 kids.
The Duggar/Bates/Rod women combined do less than Sierra does.
Sierra has developed a skill that earns income. Teaching and selling her pottery.
With all the kids in the Rod family, they could have a home-based empire. Sewing, alterations, quilting, refinishing furniture, knitting, road-side vegetable or flower stand. Of course, this would mean actually teaching and helping the children learn skills. Investing in some practical training and equipment for them to use. Jill needs to go from just admiring the Amish to studying the work ethic. I hate (a word I rarely use) Jill and the way she has stunted and terrified the children into submission to her will.

This is crazy we're talking about privacy because a video was in my YouTube feed this morning called "The Dangers Of Family Vlogging." One YouTuber actually had a fan show up at her kids' school, claiming she was a friend of the family and demanding to pick them up. It just made me think of the Duggars and Bateses and how lax they are on security. Their addresses, routines and travel plans are put out there for millions of strangers to see. It's nuts.
Oh, and another interesting tidbit. The videos that generate the most views aside from births are ones where the thumbnail and title show a child sick, injured or in pain. Nice. 😳
The Duggars and Bateses aren't the only ones putting personal information on social media. The wife of a very well-known television actor regularly posts the name of the salons where she has her hair and nails done. The restaurants she takes her daughter to, pictures of shopping with her four-year-old and all kinds of personal things. It would be easy for a stalker to hang around those locations waiting for her and her child. I will never understand putting so much personal information on social media. It seems the trend for all type of public figures.

Steve was always presented as a "bartender that went a bit deeper" from the moment we first met him reading behind the bar.
Is it really that much of a stretch to think a bar owner could hold a conversation or appreciate anything in life other than a cold brew? He's not a doddering idiot. Are we really judging someone's intelligence and ability to hold a 'stimulating conversation' by their career choice? An affable nature does not preclude an inquiring mind or an ability to speak, nor does an MD after one's name make someone an intellectual titan or a desirable partner. Honestly, we need to apologize to bartenders everywhere after this!
When they went on the honeymoon, Steve had a book with him. Steve was happy to relax and read. He was shown as someone who enjoyed reading. Miranda was upset over the lack of television or other distractions. Steve also owned a successful bar. Owning a business takes a lot of determination and intelligence. Outside of being a lawyer Miranda watched TV, ate carryout and hung around with Carrie. Even before Steve her life wasn't the Algonquin Round Table.

Also why did she have to piss her bed 2 seconds after waking up? In the hospital she could hold it like 5 minutes until Charlotte got her to the toilet. Seems like even if Miranda had been there the second she woke up, there still would have been a lot of piss on the floor.
If Carrie knows getting to the bathroom is going to be difficult wear Depends just in case. I guess it won't happen unless Prada has a line of protective undergarments. Carrie has enough money to pay someone to sit by her bed, 24/7, just for bathroom duty. If you have that kind of money, friend or family, don't depend on me to sit around waiting for nature to call. I'll keep you company and bring you a tray when my schedule allows. Miranda and Che in the kitchen is still inappropriate.

Once was after she engaged in an extramarital affair with him, leading his wife to break her freaking face, and another was only after a fancy Russian (another rich guy, of course) swept her away to France, only to have him make a marginal effort to win her back to New York. She'd say no, only for him to raise an eyebrow and say "really?" and she immediately said "welllll, okay." Big was not her great love. Big is a piece of shit. Carrie's pretty and desperate and that's all he ever cared about. He's rich and that's all she ever cared about. When he died, my first thought was "well, her retirement fund finally vested."
Exactly! Big makes me think of the type of person who spent time on Jeffrey Epstein's island. Big would call and say "jump". Carrie would ask "how high". She laid on her back in a bra. She didn't seem to be a creative, thrilling lover.
Big dumped her at the altar. Yes, her feelings were hurt. After giving her a week for self pity, true friends should have given her some tough love. Why do you want to marry a cheating creep? He didn't love or respect her. I never understood how this was supposed to be some great romance. Carrie was in it for the money and lifestyle. She was supposed to be the cutest, ditziest, free spirit that no man could resist.
When they were cheating on Natasha and Aiden, Carrie was mad because she had to wait in a cheap hotel lobby. Uh, you're the side piece. You take what crumbs he throws your way. I wouldn't be surprised if Big didn't always have something young and discreet hidden away somewhere in the world.
I was a Carrie fan for the first few seasons. Once she threw a Big Mac at Big's kitchen wall that was it. She's lucky he didn't throw her out on the street for that. The writers gave Carrie a tantrum throwing side I found uncomfortable. She's mad at Berger for the motorcyle ride so she aggressively shoves the helmet into him. Then demand he look her in the eye, be berated and apologize correctly. When the Russian walks away during an argument, Carrie grabs his arm to turn him around to look at her. Hands off Carrie! You could have called your Paris agent and ask them to let the dinner guests know you'd be late.
Don't even get me started on the second movie. Give your husband some space. You share a closet, brush your teeth side by side, and lay on top of him to watch TV. Let the man breath!
Having said all that, I still re-watch the series and movies for the good and great moments. Missing Samantha. So glad Kim had the good sense to go on with her life.

Thanks to Twitter I was tipped off about this first pilot episode shot for AJLT.
Thank you! I remember this. It was the TV Land awards. The little piece they did is funnier and more interesting than the SATC reboot.
The Golden Girls dealt with a lot of issues. Race, illegal immigration, death, LGBT, aging. They did it much better than Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte.

I'm not sure if I'll watch all the episodes. The writing seems so off. Samantha being gone is so easy to address. Samantha had an opportunity to take her business international. Was Carrie her only client? Why would Samantha be embarrassed to lose Carrie's account? Doesn't make any sense at all.
I spent many years working at a University. Post graduate courses have older students changing careers, young students, professional students. All kinds of people. Miranda wouldn't be the only middle aged student in the class.
And, yes, public masturbation is wrong. I've seen it in a public park (I got out of there) and once in a library (reported him to security). It was upsetting and felt like an assault.

I stand corrected. In Jill's crazy, lunatic fantasies she is a glamorous grandma. Thank you!

That addition looks like garbage - I'm sure that they had the Amish crew do the bare minimum of framing
Jill probably paid the absolute minimum for the addition since Hunk can do the rest. In my area Amish crews build a lot of stables and indoor arenas. The work is top notch. It is not cheap. You get what you pay for.
The addition looks like a barn. Maybe the Amish workers missed the "do" in barndo and just built a cow shed.
As an artist, I would love to find a barndo in the country side. Lots of work and studio space. There are only 2, sometimes 3, of us. We wouldn't have to turn it into a warren of rickety rooms. It would be a nice home.

I can understand the need for a big living room. But why not have some of the builders do something for the maze of a room the kids sleep in? Some nice built in bunks and storage. All the great skills Jill's man has. He could do it.
Usually I don't get upset over people I don't know. But, it pisses me off the way the little girls are dressed. I used to buy the majority of my daughter's clothes from thrift stores. S he was always fashionable, fittted and neat. There is a whole genre of Youtube videos about thrifting fashionable wardrobes. Jill is a horrible person for the way she treats her children. And hunk is no better for going along with it.

Zach and Tori need to adjust Jackson's helmet so that it fits him properly. The loose, lopsided helmet is not going to offer him the proper protection. Lilah is so cute in her glasses.

Swimming in a storm culvert is the type of thing my brother and I did as a kid. When we got home my mother would scold us, make us take showers then wash our clothes in the hottest water possible. She'd then warn us to never, ever do it again. No way would my parents be in a storm drain or encourage it. People do die every year from swimming in storm waters.
Being very fair, I have to stay covered when swimming. There are so many cute options available now. This family is completely nuts!

Pictures of the boys and the ant farm make me very happy. Such a normal thing to be interested in. It looks like they were reading the ant cake recipe from a book. Israel and Sam are having fun learning. The boys will enjoy seeing the ants eat the cake they made.
As happy as I am for Sam and Izzie, it makes me sad for Spurgeon and Henry. Jill's boys have a nice ant farm. Spurgeon was playing with an ant he found on the couch. The ant was probably there to eat cracker crumbs from between Jessa's couch cushions. Spurgeon's ant didn't get a nice home or a handmade cake.
I'm sure Spurgeon is just as bright and curious as Israel. Sad to see he's not given opportunities to learn and grow. If Spurgeon was given proper home schooling it would be different. Sad situation for him.

Nathan doesnt look bad to me, he looks like a "husky" guy. Now some husky guys tend to gain weight in the lower half of their body (hips, buttocks, thighs) like women do, compared to the top half (across the chest/belly).
For men that gain weight in the lower half, that can be easily camouflaged with their clothing choices. But I think because men are not body shamed the way women are, unless he is really into fashion he isnt going to be taught those optical illusions with clothes. Also plus size women have more clothing options than plus size men (because women are supposed to spend more effort on their appearance).
I think his suit wasnt the best choice, but it was also a size too small. One size bigger would've made all the difference.
I have noticed lots of big men love tiny women, and tiny men love bigger women....
Zak and Gil both have heavier, huskier builds. Like wrestlers or rugby players. My brother has a similar build and excelled in both of those sports. The fit of Nathan's suit and photo angles did him no favors.

Well the metallic gold stuff seems to be all over the red carpets this year.
...But I guess her publicist must have suggested going with the color trend in an avant-gardish design...and it apparently worked for her. (her publicity people seem to be on the ball) Here's the USA Today headline! --
"Gabby Barrett scored at Billboard Awards with three wins, but that gold dress stole the show"
Designer is Nicolas Jebran, who does sculptural stuff pretty often, looks like. Gabby went for one of his more out-there sculptural designs. 😁
Definitely a dress that is best on the catwalk with a svelte model. Why not have fun on a special night? As long as Gabby was happy.

Sweet Fellowship: Duggars and Friends (aka the Bates Family and Other Featured Families Thread)
in Counting On
How much is it? I didn't a price. My favorite is the food is being served by "Authentic Amish Ladies". If the servers are Amish, they would be of a less strict group. I can't see the very strict groups having much to do with Jill.
