My friend is having surgery tomorrow. Please send good vibes. It's supposed to be not a big deal, but it makes me nervous.

Austin has two half siblings. His half-sister Rachel is having another baby. She has 5 kids so this is baby is number 6. It's a girl! Joy was posting the gender reveal on Instagram.

The birth/adoption certicates for the dolls suggest that some thought was put into this.

I have to admit I have brought food into Catholic church.

So I posted some of this on a different thread, but I post it here too. Justin and Claire were rumored to be in Charleston, SC after some on Reddit claimed to spot them there. This seems a likely destination given the current state of things. The wedding doesn't seem to have been filmed by anyone official or covered by anyone official. UsWeekly says that they "received a statement" from the couple, meaning they didn't send anyone. It seems uncertain if TLC was there. There's no little video of congratulations that TLC often puts up for major milestones. There is also this Instagram account. Gabriel Johnson is a member of Hillary Spivey's church and may have some IBLP connections. He is a videographer out of Texas. Bottom Line is: No one wanted to put staff at risk during a Pandemic. It's possible TLC will buy the footage from the Spiveys/Duggars and their videographer.

Anna Marie Maxwell is going to Nevada to get a hernia fixed.

That would be the only reason for such a picture.

Ben is a pastor. Here is a link to what I think are his sermons. I haven't listened to them. If you scroll down, you can see he's been doing this for some time.

TLC didn't film the wedding. although maybe they'll pay the Duggars and the person who did film it. Justin and Claire are rumored to have honeymooned in South Carolina. I've never heard him called Duddy before although I've heard Juddy. They call John David "JD" despite the fact all their initials are JD. (J---- Duggar, like James Duggar, Jana Duggar, etc.) James hasn't used his social media in a while.

Joe and Kendra got married September 8, 2017. As of March 8, 2021 they have been married 3.5 years!

I haven't seen a signs of her being a "psycho" and Alyssa encourages and expects it, so she's definitely using this woman.

He lets her pop his pimples and peel his sunburns. It reminds me of Michelle's list of 100 things she loves about JB. She was clearly running out of things by the end. Among other things Michelle loves, he leads their family in prayer and the pledge of allegiance. Michelle had already said he was a great kisser.

I think they're trying to drum up publicity.

Alyssa Bates has found someone to grift from and her kids look healthy.

Yeah I agree. Somebody made one pan of Tater Tot Casserole and when it was gone, it was gone. Another thing we've talked about before is the Duggars aren't good at keeping a consistent schedule. There's another problem with food. I think Jill's recipes tell the truth. They were eating a lot of casseroles and beige food, and not as many fruits and vegetables.

There are 9 kids in the top picture. Another kid in the picture with the lady and the hoodie. So that's 10 kids in these photos. There should be another girl. She's probably obsecured by the booth. Nurie is married and doesn't travel with her siblings all the time. Tim was home and also hasn't been traveling as much.

Jeremy's too young to remember the 80s. I didn't watch Lawrence Welk, but I know PBS showed reruns. I'll say this, I've never seen anyone his age reminisce about Lawrence Welk. It's awkward enough to be genuine as opposed to a lot of phony BS.

It's possible she isn't pregnant again. She might not have hyperemesis gravidarum with pregnancy though. Also women with hyperemesis gravidarum can sometimes loose weight and show later. I hadn't seen the picture Ginger90 posted. She doesn't look pregnant...

I think Wissman is pronounced Wise-man. It's not the most phonetic pronunciation, but then the Forsyths pronounce Forsyth "For-site". Anyway, the Wissmans have quite a few children to pair with the Duggars. Maybe enough for the single adults left!

I googled the quote without attributation and google attributed it to Marcus Aurelius.

I get the sense Abbie is pregnant. The photos they've been dropping seem to carefully obsecure her middle. I could be wrong of course. This is speculation.

Fundie women aren't suppose to know anything about money. That's the headship's responsibility/role. They just pop out babies. Of course Abbie had a real job before she married, so she has some worldly experience.

The Pearls are terrible, but they don't beat adults or near adults. Actually Michael has radical idea that adults should live their own lives. He probably treated Nurie and Kaylee like they were nearing adulthood and not like little girls. The Pearl kids all grew up to be crazy fundies like their dad and yet they run wild in ways the Duggars/Bates etc. never will.

Joy is good-natured. She's trying to make it work. She probably is joyfully available when she's not recovering from giving birth to their babies. She seems game for a lot of his ideas and desires, like hiking, fishing, etc. I'm still not over him taking her ice fishing while 3rd trimester pregnant with Gideon. Later she admitted she doesn't really know how to swim.

Why would Jana want the TTH? Anyway JB will leave it in his will to whoever has the most kids.
