Gilmer McCormick wore a little puppet all through Godspell.

My cousin Frederick is called Ricky--his dad was Freddy.

They could only buy her four gifts because the Dollar Tree raised their prices to $1.25, and they had to keep to their $5 budget . Seriously, these people are loonies. That poor little girl!

You can find a lot of Lularoe items at consignment stores here where I ;ive (SE Massachusetts). @Almost_3000 is correct about the leggings--they really are soft and comfortable. I have a couple of the dresses, too--the A-line style. Very easy to wear, which is great when you're the substitute teacher at your school and don't know what grade you'll be working in on any given day. I am built like an apple on two pretzel rods, and the A-line is very forgiving. Also, I like loud print pants, so that appealed to me. I had a friend who used to sell Mary Kay. I never liked the product that much, because the consultants always looked a little garish to me (not my friend, though--she kept to a muted palette). Anyway, when her husband retired from the Army, she decided it was time to let the Mary Kay go. She was mortified at how much product she had, knowing that she would only get a small fraction of the money she'd spent on it back. She consigned some, had a sale at her house, and had a couple of yard sales and STILL had boxes of product. I don't remember what she eventually did with it all, but I still have some of the Satin Hands lotion I bought from her.

And way less weight!

These misreadings never get old! The gift that keeps on giving...

Is anyone else creeped out by Ivy's "look up my nose!" pose in the last couple of pictures? If that's not proof that Jessa has those kids camera-trained, nothing is.

I agree with those who are saying Elliana Fern flows better, but when you put Seewald with it, I think Fern Elliana sounds better. JMO. Those old-fashioned names are very much in vogue now. My four-month-old granddaughter is Willa Jane (no, they don't call her both names). My son's 23yo girlfriend's name is Ivey. She's the youngest of three girls whose names all end in -ey. 0

Or Weird Al Yankovic!

Does anyone else think it looks like Jessa has had some (bad) work done on her face? In that family picture her mouth looks all puffy and stretched at the same time, and her cheeks look really really big. She doesn’t look happy, either. I agree with those who said she looked like she’d rather be anywhere else: I think Ivy is cute as hell, Henry looks like a bloated mini-Gordon Ramsey, and Spurge looks like an amalgam of all the least desirable Duggar features.

I just read that Meghan Markle is going to join Scientology. Has anyone else heard this rumor?

So I haven’t even around much because I got sucked into a other site’s coverage of the adventures of Princess Pinocchio and the Haphazard Prince, but I promise I thought of you all every day and this is why: the theatre where I am a volunteer usher is on my way to work so I see this image and think about all of you and your awesome snark!

Sheesh—you spend a month or four being consumed by Montecito Madness (an unhealthy obsession with Sussex shenanigans), and Karmageddon drops its wrath on the Duggars! It’s taken me three days just to get caught up on this thread, and I haven’t even glanced at any of the others! I just want to thank all the posters who have done the work of explaining all the charges and legalities. I feel so sorry for the m&ms and for the siblings who are having to relive their trauma (because I have NEVER believed it was “no big deal”). I don’t watch the show, but I don’t see how it can survive this scandal. How can they create future episodes without addressing the elephant in the room, and yet if they do focus on the impact of Josh’s crimes on the family, it becomes more prurient and salacious than the worst episode of Jerry Springer and makes us all worse than gawkers at the scene of a horrific accident. I feel guilty already for reading so much about this, yet I can’t look away!

My cousin, who was 4 when her brother was born, called it a "urine nozzle" because she'd never seen such a thing and had no word for it! Back on topic, sort of, when I went back to finish my degree in my early 30s, I wrote a whole paper about using the correct terminology for body parts. I'd had a friend whose daughter was being molested by a family friend, but they didn't catch on for a long time because they had taught their five daughters (no sons) to call everything below the waist their "Bottom" so when the child kept telling them that her bottom hurt, they kept brushing it off thinking she had fallen or something.

DING!DING!DING!
