Turquoise

I live in a state with a Vienna and a Cairo...neither one pronounced the way it should be (Vie-anna and Karo (like the syrup) respectively). I guess mispronunciation is a fairly common phenomenon, not that I'm a fan of it. Topic: I watched part of the Rome video. A few observations: James walking around filming is every tourist that runs over someone else because they're too busy with their selfie stick instead of watching where they're going. Encountered several of those at Edinburgh Castle. Most of the part I saw Jed! and Katey were taking care of the baby themselves. That was refreshing. At a store window: "Oh look-clams! (they were oysters) He complains at one point it's hard finding places to eat. I haven't been to Italy yet, but I would think there would be a overabundance of places to eat in Rome? Perhaps he meant something the whole group would agree on, and phrased it badly?

In the last day she has posted about going to the beach, going to dinner with Nurie and a couple Nots, and going to the Valentine banquet at Nurie's church, and never once mentioned any of this? I have had three miscarriages, and don't wish that on anyone. But when I was having mine I wasn't doing all these activities and posing for pictures.

It's fairly common in churches that don't do infant baptisms. A ceremony to acknowledge new babies in the congregation. The parents bring them up front, the parents declare they will raise the child in church, a prayer is said. I don't know if parties are generally thrown after. I was raised a heathen Catholic, where baptism parties are a thing.

You know, the driving wasn't as hard as we thought it might be. The steering wheel on the right does help, it's the same concept as here, driver is to the inside of the road. Occasionally I had to remind Mr. Turquoise "Wide right!" LOL. I enjoyed how many out-of-the-way things we saw, in every country. I have terrible lifelong motion sickness so the worst for me was the ferry from Wales to Ireland, we traveled through a storm. Miserable. Will make sure I have extra behind the ear patches for our next adventure.

We road tripped around the UK & Ireland for our honeymoon 3 1/2 years ago. While I enjoyed what I saw in London, my preference was for the smaller cities & villages we went through. Probably just me. We stayed in a BnB in Vauxhall, and I did enjoy the ease of being able to walk to Westminster, etc. We do need to make a trip back because we covered a lot of area, but didn't get to spend a large amount of time in any one place. Would like to pick a smaller radius and soak it in a bit more.

"She has a heart to submit to God and Timothy..." (like they're on even footing?) The poor child

Alas, Mr. Turquoise does not have pierced ears. I would love to post a gushing testimonial about buying earrings for my spouse and HE loved them. Oh, the wailing and gnashing of teeth that would ensue...

I was assuming Janelle would have Axel & Evie. I was at the birth of my first grand, but after that I had charge of the others while son & DIL went to the hospital (plus there were COVID rules...) But the other...can't make an excuse for that one.

But she's an award-winning stylist who competed at the state level! (Yeah, me too...and my eyebrows thank me)

"My parents have a LOT of BILLS coming in...so we went on a double date! Please pray...and send money. I need to have my sweet mama back in tune with my feelings." ~Jillybean

That hair almost looks too healthy to be Renee's...that would be funny if that's a completely different daughter. She made another post trying to get people to do the Reset (I think that's what it is called)...one of her points is "It's Biblical to fast."

I found it!

I think "I'm sorry" always works. I think generally people mean well. My brother committed suicide almost 10 years ago, and there were (are) a couple things people say that get to me. I was shocked at the amount of people who feel entitled to know which method he used (they aren't). If you weren't close to him and aren't close to me, the fact that he felt desperate enough to end his life is quite enough. The other one is people to this day still ask couldn't we see something was wrong. I had cancer 5 years ago. Not one person approached my parents and asked why they couldn't see ahead of time I had cancer. Illness is illness. Trust me, we all went over every interaction with a fine-tooth comb looking for something we missed. Concern is great and much appreciated, satisfying your curiosity is not. I will always be protective of my little brother.

Jill's streak of posting unflattering pictures of others continues... Pa Noyes' expression is: "I can't believe this is my life."

I assume I'm looking at this correctly (I don't see any motion, so going with Nemo wasn't climbing up)...so Nemo falls asleep hanging half off the couch, and everything thinks it's adorable and photographs it instead of moving him to a safe place to sleep? Any pictures I have ever seen of a parent/child sleeping, the parent is holding the child. Why am I surprised yet totally not surprised by this picture??

Part of the Christmas posting was a sales pitch...come join Jill's team! I do work from home, Jillybean. A legit position that doesn't involve selling poison. Thanks anyway.

I managed to get a Christmas cold...side effect of having grandchildren that are toddlers and early elementary school. They're completely worth it. Symptoms didn't start until early on the 26th, after all festivities were past. I am mending, and our snow is melting, which makes my dog very happy. He has a narrow window of weather conditions he enjoys. 🤣

My Chihuahua was most unhappy with the cold and snow this morning, but he is also the same creature who is a nightmare to try and get in a sweater. He is remarkably efficient getting his business done in bad weather. We maybe got two inches of snow, but it is bitterly cold.

I think "yes" covers it

I hope (but am not confident) that NotNurie isn't constantly subjected to comments on how TINY Nurie was compared to her. Wonder if Jillybean will start up the Kaylee wants to have first granddaughter bit again.

She finally posted. NotNurie is pregnant. Due in late August.

The reason the huge mirror was needed in the living room...

Yes, this was on her Facebook. All even slightly negative comments are now gone. Only the ones telling her how AMAZING she is remain. I did see a couple comments on her Plexus post saying she was doing a great job teaching the kids. She must have seen some comments about how poorly educated they are.

So it looks like there are currently some non-leghumpers commenting on Jill's page. Some I can't repeat because they veer into the political, but one did ask if DBD is getting a new American flag shirt for Christmas. I will enjoy until she shuts them down.
