If Jill lost 60% of her blood during her labor with Olivia. Shouldn’t Jill be dead??? And I assume the baby wouldn’t make it either. 
 

I am definitely not a medical person at all. Just wondering and using common sense.

I'm an accountant not a doctor or nurse so I may not know all proper terminology. But many years ago now had a miscarriage that involved hemorrhaging. They tried to stop things in the ER but ended up rushing me to surgery because my blood pressure was tumbling. I was so dizzy just being pushed down the hall that I was ill. I did not lose 60% of my blood.

Also, my son was 3 at the time. I lost a baby before him and another one when he was in kindergarten. On birthday posts I have referred to him as a miracle, with no other explanation (anyone who's close to us knows what I mean by that). When I make birthday posts about him or now my 4 grandbabies I talk about THEM. It is THEIR day.

Since even Jill figured out that the ministry year-end newsletter wasn't the right place to talk about how much of her year was spent pushing Plexus, she had to resort to the cute sayings of Janessa to fill the page. Of course, her DEAR sister Amy (who is a quadriplegic) got a mention, but Tim's engagement and Kaylee's little Gideon did not.

Watch out Jessa...the sayings of Spurgeon are going down!

Did the boys at the college have to unload the 5,000 John and Romans (SMILEY!) so Dave could clutch his Bible at all times?

I know what you mean about "love on". That one has always sounded vaguely creepy to me. I guess it's just supposed to imply showing affection, whether physical otherwise, but it always sounds so overwhelmingly touchy-feely.

May I also add the phrase "in-love" rather than in-law?

[Sweet Fellowship: Duggars and Friends (aka the Bates Family and Other Featured Families Thread)]

Bit of a conspiracy theory, but I am not 100% sold that (and Kaylee) is even writing all her posts. I get that she was taught the nonsensical commas and random capitalizations from Dear Mahmo, but some of her posts are nearly identical to Jilly's writings. I could see Jill wanting (and Kaylee)'s posts to pump up her downline, but not trusting her enough to convey the message as Jill deems appropriate. Jill probably set up the account, so would have the password.

Also, I like Nonsensical Commas as a band name...

I can't see Jill going thru all this trouble for her passport. Maybe, just maybe she will apply for it and then be shocked when she doesn't get it in time. 

Satan moved from green bean cans to the passport office!

Every time Jill uses my/our company I laugh hysterically. Jill the dimwit acts like she owns the plexass company.

Read the fine print. It states in 2020 average annual pay is $597…

yeah Jill is raking in the cash selling plexus /s.

Jill looks drunk and/or high in this pic. As many pictures as she takes of herself, you would think she could have chosen another.

[Sweet Fellowship: Duggars and Friends (aka the Bates Family and Other Featured Families Thread)]

Well, we have a picture of Nemo not looking terrified, but no one bothered to clean his runny nose before the shot. Sounds about right.

I think that's the first picture I have seen of Newmie looking happy.

"...we have allowed our grown children to have more liberty..."
Bah humbug! You don't get to dictate the lives of your adult children, Jilly. Like she allows anyone to dictate to her (I fully realize she's going to at least attempt to do it anyway).

[Sweet Fellowship: Duggars and Friends (aka the Bates Family and Other Featured Families Thread)]

Interesting...I went to Jilly's FB page yesterday, and someone had posted asking her since she is a homeschool teacher (ha!), what would she recommend to teach the Bible to small children? I think he said up to 4th grade. I figured this was a tailor-made soapbox for Jillybean to jump on, so I went back this morning to see her reply. She deleted the comment.

I guess Jilly is going to have to find a scene-stealing dress to wear to Tim's wedding so all the attention can be put back on her. Teidi who?

There's always this (and I'm fairly sure my grandma had a crocheted toilet paper cover that was similar back in the day):

True, I forgot who I was talking about here...clearly not people who take safety into any sort of consideration.  I am reminded of when Ma and Pa Noyes came to stay at the Barndo and Jill's house was a literal obstacle course of loose rugs tossed on every available flat surface.

My question is, did Jill pull this crap on her daughter's house as a dare to see if Kaylee and Jonathan will change what she did?  Or is Jill really so clueless as to the basic idea of a window being an exit in case of a fire?  I know she's got Plexus for brains, but I also struggle to think that a grown human person would purposefully block an exit with something that probably takes two people to move out of the way, especially when that home has babies living there.

I wonder the same thing about Jill's own house.  With the random extension cords hanging from ceilings and various single outlets with 12 devices plugged in, it's like she's almost trying to make something bad happen.

I now feel the need to somehow work "Do you have Plexus for brains??" in a conversation...

Jill posted some pics of Nurie and her family and couldn't resist another swipe at Heidi...her first two "in-law children" are so kind, respectful and loving. She can only pray the rest will be the same (winky face). I guess MM had his boundaries and didn't pay for enough classy dinners, so Jill (oh I'm sorry, God) laid it on Renee's heart that she had to move on.

Side note: I think every picture I have seen of Nurie's boys one or both look startled. Do they hold up a picture of Mahmo then snap the picture?

I feel like I have commented on that hideous skirt before, but maybe in the month of remembrance we should take a moment to remember all the Bermuda shorts that died to make a crazy woman's garment...

Tim gloriously engaged his fiancée in what? I also had the spacing issues @crazy8s mentioned.

I can't fault her on the sleeveless...I live a bit north of her (southern Illinois), and it has been in the upper 70s for several days. Also, when I was in my third trimester I was running around in short sleeves in late winter because I was roasting. Hot flashes had nothing on the end of pregnancy for me...at least the flash doesn't last for a long time.
But dirty towels and the name Spurgeon: fair game in my book!

So Jilly was up in the middle of the night writing a birthday tribute to herself? How predictable.

Great Yellowstone pictures, thanks for sharing @Turquoise.  We were there about 7 years ago and it’s amazing how beautiful the entire area is.

Thank you, and you're welcome. 😀 It really was gorgeous! I would've liked to see wolves & bears, but what we were able to see was wonderful. I liked the time of year we went, leaves had changed and it wasn't as heavily crowded as it is in peak season. I had a few coworkers mention it's on their bucket list and I've told them all-go!

See if they work now. I can see them fine on my end, but I tried adding them a different way.

Mr Turquoise and I went to Yellowstone a few weeks ago to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary. We realized we hadn't taken a trip since our honeymoon (oops!). Sharing a few pretties to start off the weekend.

"Exclusive entertainment"??  The mind boggles.

Would Jill be able to fit her ironing board and assortment of cowbells in a standard cabin? I've never been on a cruise, but I heard those things are tiny!
