No.

In which case one wouldn't normally adopt them, but have legal guardianship.

Some of them have to know. Thanks for the link.

Where is that one, please?

I think we were discussing Christine with the thrown in k. Meri kind of chops a lot of words. None of them have apparently paid attention to proper pronunciation. I think the dill is one of the ones that drives me battiest.

They are really adding a k to a hard g. There's no kuh with the regular g.

First I don't watch or track those shows. 1.5M is close to double TLC's prime time average so is in the good range. For comparison Seeking SW was low and I expect heading toward cancellation at 783K viewers and a .26 rating. I've seen a couple of TLC shows get a second short season with numbers like that and then they vanished. Years ago TLC was trying for its top shows to be 2M or higher. The Roloffs were cancelled back in that era. They brought the Roloffs back as the TLC overall audience dropped.

Ratings are in and they indicate the show will continue. 1.436M viewers and a .41 rating. .62 with women 18-49. TLC loves that. For more perspective 15th cable show of the evening and they were against the Grammies.

No, just no. They might get $40 to $50K for the whole family per episode, but that is very high for TLC payments.

I think Austin listens to his father and fundie ways aside, I think he may be one of the more practical and long term planning members of the bunch.

Kelly was downright anxious to get Michaela married. I think they are less controlling than say Steve Maxwell who may never let any of his daughters go. Kelly and Gil do farm the younger kids out when they are out of town, but also will take the grandchildren. I don't think they are as shy/frightened of having to be responsible for kids as some of the others.

I think Dr. Vick is a garden variety Southern Baptist. To some of a much more liberal bent, they may think he's fundie, but he's simply conservative evangelical.

I'm in CA and must go to the wrong banks. I haven't seen a suit on a bank employee in 15 to 20 years. I have seen a few ties though, but not on tellers. I can remember when the women all wore business suits and stockings, but that's been a long, long time ago.

For those who hate maternity clothes, if it fits within your budget, I recommend Seraphine. My daughter wore quite a bit of that and it was both stylish and comfortable. Jinger is currently the only hope I have of a Duggar daughter not wearing stretched out regular Wal Mart knit tops.

The OP probably needed to sign in again. The server upgrade kicked us all off.

Those may be the highest heels we've seen her in. She wore heels before marriage to go to an event with Mary. She had a dress on then too and looked really good.

One photo does not a Gothardized robot make.

18 months would not be a BSN unless the student had done at least two years of coursework before beginning or already likely had an RN.

The turn around time for processing is too long for that. A rush episode takes a minimum of two to three weeks to get on the air unless they drop working on everything else. That said a year is just stale and is TLC scheduling and for some reason apparently known only to TLC they wanted to hold the episodes.

Ratings for last night: 235K viewers and a .05 rating.

They didn't redraw the plans. The plans were already approved and on file with the city. Meri chose an option that was already there. They may have pretended to do something extra, but they didn't.

It got her the largest house of the four and she was going to use it for all the entertaining of the rest of the family she said she was going to do. We see how that worked out.

All the houses in that little development all share the same master plan. If they bought there, Meri was getting a big house. They could, however, have chosen a different development where there was some variety in house size. They were limited further by their ability to get mortgages and they were able to get the large houses most of the women needed with interest only loans initially in the development where they bought. So Meri got a big house and pushed it further with the wet bar option.

Good old gospel pride in action. The Amish approach has much to recommend it.

Jill has a spot near her left eye that looks about the same as the mole/piercing. It does make me wonder about her life that she posted about chocolate milk. Spendy chocolate milk does not make for good grifting, Jill.
