Yes and at one point I got a notice that the certificate (for encryption) had expired and it was not safe. Today it worked and the certificate had been updated to be valid through March 22, 2025.

That video was hard to watch as they rambled more than usual. They need to put more effort into planning their podcast. The only thing of interest was that Michlle's father lived with them for a while after he was in a car accident and his wife had already passed. It was before JB's parents moved in. She talked about the close relationship she had with her grandma Mary and that Mary and Amy had an even closer relationship. Jere says he only remembers seeing a few scenes of the show at his pastor friend's house. It was so all over the place so I did a lot of skipping around.

It wasn't open; they went late at night. It looked like a storage room/warehouse so not sure if there was another part that was a storefront.

Jinger posted a youtube about Jason's wedding. They already did the podcast talking about it. There was video of their traveling (as we know they didn't take the girls), some video of the service/event. Jinger, the older sisters (sans Jill) and Abbie went to the Bates daughter's shop after the wedding to buy some clothes and their spouses hung out.

I was just coming here to talk about the video I watched earlier but then I got distracted. The seemed to ramble off track worse than usual. Lots of talk about the Bates, accents, storm damage, etc. They talked about the dancing which was kind of funny. Jeremy has so much more normal world experience that seems to help him fit into whatever social situation and make conversation and friends. They really need to edit their podcasts and remove the much of the rambling such as the whole accent section. Though he did point out the whole changing the g words to sound like K.

Jinger is pregnant and is due in March. She did a live this morning and which included some more video telling various family. His parents when they visited and then her mom and sisters who made a trip there for Jana's bridal party trip. When she was in Arkansas for the wedding she l had a test to determine gender. She is going to be doing a gender reveal later. It is on YouTube

Oh, that's right. They had "Italian" food at their wedding reception as a nod to their honeymoon.

It is Maddie's 21st birthday and they are celebrating while on their honeymoon. Don't know where.

Yeah, I was not being sincere using that term. I figured there had to be something in it for him, though I was just thinking it was the positive attention. I didn't know that he would be benefiting from it so soon. But of course he is.

Medic corp is getting attention from the relief efforts from Helene. Musk, Ivanka, and now Dr. Phil interviewing JD.🙄 Though this time it appears they may actually be helping some and working with Samaritans Purse (the Graham charity) . They were helping get starlink access for communications and taking generators in to isolated areas that have no power. They are doing a lot with helicopters, did they get more or do they belong to someone else. Anyhow they are taking in supplies to places that are no longer accessible by road. I hope they are actually helping. When did Musk become a humanitarian? Now he and Ivanka are pretending to care. JD was the only Duggar I saw (I didn't look at all their posts about the effort so maybe there are other Dugs). I don't know much about the Bates but saw a couple of them. I am glad resources but the whole Ivanka and Musk thing makes my eyes roll. As I don't recall them ever showing up to help at other disasters. Hey at least people are being helped so the motivation doesn't matter.

The Vs are busy. They both posted in their stories they were at an anti-abortion event. It was a formal event held by Live Action (pro-life organization) giving awards to people and for their pro-life support; one being Coach Jim Harbaugh.

Jill posted a story and tagged Jason and Maddie with pictures and videos. Video of part of the ceremony where Maddie was walking the aisle, Maddie dancing with her father, then with Jason. The couple leaving. I didn't scan through closely enough to see who all was spotted there.

The Dillards are staying at a hotel in Lexington Tn. Which is on the western side of state and that area didn't get hit bad like the eastern part of the state. Don't know where the wedding will be.

Jill also posted a story about getting ready for a long trip so I assume tomorrow is Jason's wedding. I posted this in the Dillard thread but here to since it supports the Jason/Maddie wedding is happening on the 3rd.

Jill posted a story on IG where she is dropping Fena at boarding, getting books at the lib. and getting things ready for their trip. I assume it is to Jason's wedding in Tn. which is rumored to be tomorrow. Interesting that Derick was still at work late in the evening teaching a class to police. Joy had also posted about getting ready for a trip so I assume it was for the wedding too.

I thought it was better at the end I skipped through a lot. The end was more about how her adjustment and trying to figure out who she was; the TV version vs the introvert she was feeling after leaving home. Wasn't she going to do another book about being a people pleaser? She talked about she was immature and many people figure out those things when they go away to college. Even though the show gave them opportunities to travel and exposed them to many things it was still very sheltered. So it was nice to see she had some insight (still has a long way to go) into how she was raised made it hard for her to know who she was and to make friends outside of her bubble.

I do not support shock collar training. However I am not sure that is shock training collar, it is not placed right. I do think it may be one of the collars used for invisible fences (something else I don't like). This was the only picture of her with that collar, all the others have been with a regular flat collar which she is also wearing. When they move to this house at one point Jill was concerned because they were not able to fence off her garden as well as they did at the old house to keep her out of the garden. So they may be using an invisible boundary system to keep her out of the garden. Of course it might be a shock collar but it would be odd since they took her to training classes and did not use one and she is not wearing one in any other picture. In the video Derick was using food rewards. ETA: I realize both training and boundary e-collars are pretty much the same thing. However for invisible fences it is not the trainer/owner delivering the warning or shock.

It was kind of long and repetitive but they seemed to be more relaxed. I don't think there was a lot of new info but they did have Jana, Michelle, and some of the sisters come to their house for a bachelorette party/weekend. Curious if they or Jana put out a video or pictures of that event. Jinger talked about how happy she was to see some of Michelle's family there that she had not seen in a long time. Jinger must have said "sweet" a hundred times and she kept getting teary eyed. Of course the Rev. Jer had to add a few God lessons in and quoting John MacArthur one time.

On reddit people were saying her degree is education. Free Jinger was saying her mother was a teacher with an advanced degree and her father was on the board of education. If this is true that might be good news for any kids they may have. I hope Jason does a Justin and moves to be near her family instead of bringing her to the Duggar compound. JB might be ok with sending him away since he seems to be pushing the limits with his shirtless videos, going to different churches, and he openly criticized Josh. His sister mom Jana has moved.

It was odd seeing Jim Bob in the video helping with the remodel with the youngest girls in their skirts. Hope now she is moved in that JB is not going to still be calling the shots. At least all the minor girls are seeing that all their older sister/mothers are making their own choices at least on a few things.

I saw that and posted it in the Jill and Derrick thread since so many were wondering.

She also posted more some pictures in her story saying it was nice to catch up with family and friends which included a picture with Jinger (not dressed for wedding) and with some of the old show crew. I guess they are still close to some. She also responded in the comments that boys were not at the wedding but they were at the family dinner the night before.

Jill posted a story with more pics, one with her and Jinger (not dressed up) and saying how great it was to catch up with family and friends and she said that some of the old film crew with a couple of pics. So some of the crew was invited? I am assuming they were not recording a special, I don't think even TLC would ever let them back on TV.

Yes, the second article was added later. It is pretty much the first article with a few additions. https://people.com/jana-duggar-says-it-was-disheartening-at-times-not-getting-married-sooner-exclusive-8695194

I feel kind of sad for Jill since she and Jana use to be closer. Why did she choose Jessa to be her MoH? Jill never took her music box or burdened her with taking care of her boys. Oh well, still happy Jana will move away with her husband. Hope Michelle can step up and take care of her youngest and all the grandkids.
