@Lady Edith That article is truly frightening. Really, really bad. "You body is work of art..." Like a painting he bought at a flea market... (Interesting to go to About Me section where the writer of the blog/article says he can't reveal his real identity, because he will be persecuted.) I, too, side-eye the bible as a document written by men. Guess I'm in hell, I mean the prayer closet with y'all. I'll bring some more fans.

Those things don't bother me about the Duggar weddings. I like the running. But I also attended the Royal Wedding and it was beautiful.

This is hardly a recent photo (Christmas tree) and there are plenty of photos where someone is holding him. I doubt he's "touch starved".

I like the photo too. They look good in it. That big cross is eye-catching. If I didn't know they were devout Christians, I might think the cross is accidental. It reminds me of the photos one Mormon couple (not Duggar/Bates etc.) took with Jesus.

Not to mention that tribute to Designing Women towards the beginning of the end of Breastworld...

I think they're trying to marry him off. It would be nice if they found someone closer to his age than his newest SILs. There are plenty of single women of different ages all over the religious spectrum including fundie.

I saw Cracker as vintage glam. She looked like Blair St. Clair on any runway or a Hitchcock heroine. I thought Kameron wouldn't be able to hold her own against Eureka, but I was wrong. Yay!

I didn't get old lady from Cracker anymore than I did from Aquaria. Monet should have won. I respect Ru and her decision. I had no idea how to judge that LFYL. Aquaria seemed to be doing boy chest. Again.

Not the first week. The first week Van-gie lipsynced against Kalorie and Eureka was safe and not in the bottom. The second week Kalorie and Eureka LFYL to The Best of My Love and Eureka won.

I doubt Guinn could have a baby or wants one, since they haven't had one in a long time. Lauren Swanson's mother just had a baby so they've got her for ratings.

They clearly stated on tv when Jessa got married that Guinn was 38 and we talked about it on the boards. I'm surprised everyone is surprised. Guinn looks ten years younger than Michelle when they sit together.

If there's one thing I've come to count on from every incarnation of Archer, it's that the people around Cheryl/Charlotte/Cherlene always think they can get the upper hand and use/control her to do whatever they want and then she somehow turns the tables on them. Ch is a little more shrewd and a lot more crazy than people around her give her credit for and she can fend for herself. And Ch is always most able to turn the tables when you think she's at her weakest and this season is no exception.

What?

If the weather is predicting end times......... that's global warming Derick!

I'm enjoying Vulture's recaps of the episodes.

Probably, I'm not sure.

Well, I certainly don't hold it against him that he wants to further his education. If he's using his money from TLC, then it's a good use of his investment. I can't totally knock it if he's taking loans. However I have mixed feelings if he's using money Jinger's earning/has earned from TLC. It's her choice, but I rather see the money Jinger earned go towards her education. But this is all speculation. I don't think he came from any serious money. I agree he wasn't destitute when he married Jinger.

Not as far as I know. ALERT has an Instagram apparently. Someone posted the picture into a FJ posted on Big Sandy. The picture depicted some boys in a classroom some of whom were Duggar boys and Bates boys. I hadn't known the Bates did Alert. I would have linked to the picture, but I don't have Instagram and I'm not good at linking things.

Reminds me of The Facts of Life...

Well at least every kid, grandkid and S/DIL they could easily round up. It makes sense that JinJer, the Forsyths etc. aren't there. But they have four other daughters who live in the house. Where are they? We comment on how short Jackson is, but there he's only a few inches shorter than his older brothers. Maybe their family has some short genes and some tall genes like others I know?

IBLP is Gothard's old organization and it's one of their conferences. (The one in the South.)

Wait isn't the Ark thing drowning in debt? (Pun intended.)

I had several dreams last night (most of them bad), but in one Jinger named her baby Ruth Diane Vuolo.

I'm remembering Home Improvement back in the '90s. Jonathan Taylor Thomas was one of the three child actors who played Tim's sons. He stayed short and looked the same for so long that eventually they had to do an episode on why he didn't grow. That being said most of the boys I knew at his age were on the short side. They grew taller a few years later.

I tend to agree with what you were saying, but this is their first child. I think I need to get some new friends, who will donate vacations to me.
