Jinger did another ask me anything on her IG . The only thing notable was someone asked if they were going to have anymore kids soon. She said they are enjoying this time with the 2 but have thought they would be nice to have 3. So there maybe one more eventually. Guess they are going to be like his family with 3 kids not hers with too many.

Jeremy and Jinger went to ta screening of the movie, Unsung Hero. I know nothing about it except it is based on a true story. On IG Jer has a picture of he and Jinger with Mel Gibson at the screening.

It was odd and I probably can't explain it well. To me as of late the world feels so divided and broken. I was observing from my back deck by myself but was thinking that there were millions of people along the path doing the same and so many at the same time. The experience of the temperature dropping and the skies turning colors and getting darker, the noise of the birds then the silence. My crow friends, Edgar Allan and Sheryl Crow, yelling what's going on then flying off to look for the family roosting place. It was so amazing yet rare, but not really, just rare it would be a path where I could observe. It was comforting that all these other people were feeling the same sense of awe. It didn't fix the world but did at least temporarily adjust my feelings in a positive way.

I am still driving a 2011 Subaru Outback, no problems. I am wanting to get a new car but am wanting a hybrid or electric. I wish the Outback came in a hybrid. The eclipse was awesome here in the Columbus, Ohio area. I was going to ignore it but glad I didn't. Not just visuals but lots of feels.

Jinger did another ask me anything on IG stories. Nothing too controversial. https://www.instagram.com/stories/jingervuolo/3338245073853519237/

I love opossums. I have bird feeders in my front and back yards and a natural landscape so of course they showed up. They are cute except for that rat tail. A few times I have had them walking around my backyard in the middle of the day but they usually wait until night to check things out.

To clarify I don't know what Jinger is presenting but the conference is about "reclaiming God's design for women and overcoming the the war on women" She is using her book which I have not read so I don't know if she wrote about any of that. I followed some links and apparently the Ark Encounters guy promotes lots of things about the bible being literal, no evolution, young earth, etc.

Jinger is presenting an Ark Encounter's "Answers for Women's Conference". Apparently it is about "reclaiming God's good design for women and overcome the war on women happening in our culture". Yes, there is a war on women but it is not coming from the evil secular culture. https://www.instagram.com/p/C5RXg3pJQDH/

Or 90DF or as I said almost any TLC show.

I was thinking this as well. This is the only forum I participate in now; however I do and have read other forums that were/are far worse than this one (almost any TLC show). Given this guidance "Our aim is constructive, respectful dialogue that includes all perspectives. The principle of kindness and inclusivity applies to everyone, even to the Duggars. (Please note that that doesn’t mean you have to condone everything they say and do. What it primarily means is that comments should be mindful of their humanity)." Is snark not ok? I do think sometimes people claim snark when it is not really fun, sarcastic or clever. I wonder why this forum is the only one to get pointed out. It is just confusing as to what is acceptable and what is not. Was there just more people complaining about the posts here? Maybe that is why we haven't heard much about Jana, her latest assignment is to complain about this forum's unkindness and disrespectful dialogue. 😉 Not trying to cause trouble or be obtuse, just not clear on what is ok. I don't think I have posted anything that would have gotten flagged. So would calling them fundie be a No? No knick names?

Since it is very quiet in here. Jinger posted a story on IG, ask me anything. Nothing surprising or that interesting. https://www.instagram.com/stories/jingervuolo/

I came this forum from following but not posting on TWoP. I came to TWoP from Watching Trading Spaces and the TLC forums for the show. TLC got tired of us so we ended up making our own forums away from Mod Ivy. A few different forums but a few of us are still posting on an old school forum many years later and have had some meet ups in NOLA and Chicago. Here I started posting on the Duggar forum because I had friends who were very fundie though not ILBP. I had a lot of empathy for the kids and watched to hopefully see the kids break away. If this forum goes away not sure if I will post/follow any other and just stick with my long time TS friends. I really like this forum so I hope it survives.

On the Community Guideline page is the link to the survey. I took it and on place where we could give suggestions I asked about getting their assistance in "fixing" the titles and forum. From seeing the survey I would agree someone's or several someone's responses probably prompted their ill informed action.

I saw something on Reddit about an interview Deanna did that sounded a little (a lot) odd. So I checked it out. I will link it in case you want to have a "what the...." moment. It actually makes me concerned the way they put Dax out to the public. So the interviewer is a christian and Deanna is telling him a story about how Dax visited heaven and talked to grandma D. who he called momo. When he was 10 months old he fell out of a carrier and hit his head. When he was 2.5 he told her he went to Jesus house/heaven and sat on his lap and he saw momo (he was not born when she passed) who said she missed her and Amy. He saw the throne and some creatures with lots of eyes. The funniest part was apparently he has some powers (?) since one day he was really wanting some chicken nuggets but they didn't have any. Shortly there were two bags of (antibiotic free) chicken tenders on their door step. Anyhow, here is the link if you want to watch. All I can say is that boy doesn't stand a chance. They are not doing him any favors with all the social media exposure and over indulgence.

Sorry, didn't realize it was so close to expiring. The picture of them at Costco is still in Jinger's stories. Maybe Jeremy or Jinger will make the visit part of a vlog. I was surprised JD and Abbie were visiting until Abbie said they were there for the expo.
