I also think that Sean would relocate for a spouse, but that's in an organic situation, where you meet, spend time together, get to know each other and fall in love. Not when it's, "Hello, we're getting married now."
I agree with this so much. This is the opposite of an organic situation, so as much as the participants should be willing to compromise because they are in a marriage, I can't expect perfection. I am starting to fall on the side that these pairings were made 75 percent with the hope of tv drama.

I think for me the difference is if they HAVE a love interest (example: Katniss in Hunger Games) or if they ARE the love interest (example: Uhura in new Star Trek). The latter pisses me off, especially when it's the only damn female character of any substance around. Carol Marcus' boobs do not count.
Agree. Katniss was an example I was thinking of. I don't know much about the new Star Trek admittedly, but that sounds annoying. I will say I don't also care if there is only one main female and she is romantically involved with someone, as long as the male characters also have romantic relationships. Like for example, Hermoine in Harry Potter.

I am kind of tired of fan complaints about "strong" women having romantic relationships/falling in love. I have no issue if the strong woman doesn't fall in love, but I feel like some fans think it automatically makes a character anti-feminist or weak because they have a love interest.

So I bought the balm chicky balm balm today, completely not for the reason that it was featured on Shark Tank. I actually completely forget it was on until I got home and saw the bottom part. I am a total lip balm addict, and a sucker for new products. It was advertised as being twice the size of a normal lip balm at Target (I would say it is) and came in flavors/scents I hadn't seen before and was 7 bucks. I have spent way more than 7 bucks on balm before because as I said, I am a sucker. Anyway, it was pretty good! It smells nice and is not really flavored, so I am not likely to lick it off. It also does a good job moisturizing, it doesn't just sit on my lips like a lot of products do. If I were them, I would get rid of the bottom part and continue to advertise it just as a normal natural balm that is a bigger size. It just does not seem necessary, I only share lip balm with fiancé, and I don't see a lot of people who do in general.

I can't blame Sean or Davina for the commute/NYC issue. I have done an hour commute, and had a normal 9-5 job. It was doable but not pleasant. Three hours taken out of my day spent in the car, expenses for wear on my car, and the only car accidents I have ever been in in my life simply because I was on the road more at rush hour on a busy highway. I would be pissy too if I were Sean, having to be a nurse working long shifts, sometimes overnight.
That being said, Davina had stated that her deal breaker was living in NYC. I don't quite get it, but I would be upset if I went into this and had not had one of my deal breakers listened to. And Davina does not seem like the type to back down. I only blame the matchmakers for setting them up in the first place.

I don't know why people were thinking Jill or Jessa would be the ones to break the mold. Not using birth control is the cornerstone of their faith. It's what their entire lives are built around. Nobody is going against that, at least not while the show is running and Jim Bob is still in his right mind. Josie might have a shot.
As one of those who was not entirely convinced about Jessa being pregnant even though I knew better, I will say that denial is a very effective coping mechanism. I didn't really believe that she would go against the grain, but the more optimistic part thought that maybe she was spirited enough to delay it. But I was wrong, just as I deep down I knew I would be.
Hoping for a healthy pregnancy for her.

My first reaction was irritation with wifey acting like it would be the most horrible thing ever if he was masturbating. It's his body, lady, and it's not like there are only so many erections in his life and they all belong to you now. My second was the story of someone who got ringworm (actually a fungus) from a patient, treated it and then reinfected themselves because they'd scratched it with a wooden backscratcher, which can apparently harbor the fungus even if you think you've cleaned it.
Meh, as a very light sleeper who takes forever to fall asleep, I would be annoyed. It is just as rude as turning on the tv or talking on the phone when someone is sleeping in the same room. Take it somewhere else.

In the above picture with Bin and the striped shirt, Jessa just looks like she has gained some weight to me. I obviously could be very wrong.
Her lack of a hair cut is not doing her any favors.

I sincerely hope she is not pregnant. Even if it goes against logic, I hope any weight gain perceived is happy marriage weight (some women such as myself are unlucky and show weight gain in the stomach first), period bloat captured at an awkward time, or birth control bloat.
For some reason, I think Jessa has the spirit to go on birth control against her parents' wishes. I am probably wrong, but it would be nice if I am not.

Didn't Derrick seek out Jbob to be a prayer buddy? That says to me he knew and agreed with a lot of the Duggar's philosophy, so I am not too optimistic that Israel's life will be too much different from say, Josh's or John David's.

This seems like a good place for my question.
I am cheap, and only belong to a bare minimum gym with treadmills and weight machines, no classes. I have a lot of Jillian Michaels DVDs that I like, but want to start doing yoga at home too. Does anyone have any good recs? I would prefer something that has a couple of levels on it, and lasts about 30-45 minutes. I know Jillian has one, but it is a bit too focused on strength training for what I am looking for.

I liked the fourth season of Arrested Development, and find it on par with the first three, particularly on rewatches.
I am glad Netflix announced a fifth season.

My name here and in real life both start with J, and both are quite pretty, if I do say so myself. So I never know if I should be bitter that the Duggars did not choose them, or secretly delighted that they did not.
I will go with secretly delighted, if only to prove that my parents have far better taste than J Bob and Mechellle ever will.

People are mad that the Olsens may not show up? They want Michelle back? I think Michelle is the most annoying kid on just about any tv show. More so because of the writing, I really don't have anything against the Olsens.

I don't know. I don't like it, but Viagra is not the first product to use the male gaze in an attempt to draw in straight female customers. Look at Victoria's Secret. Or most women's magazines. The cover of Cosmo could easily be the cover of GQ or Maxim. I think marketers think that women would rather aspire to be objects of lust rather than actively lust, because we are supposedly not visual creatures or some bs.

Nick came across a bit TOOLish to me, is that how the character is in the novel?
If so, Affleck pretty much nailed it.
Hamm would've been a better fit as Nick's hot shot attorney.
Honestly, I hated Nick much more in the book. If anything, Affleck made the character more sympathetic in my eyes.

Miscavige's podium dress uniform was fucking creepy. It reminded me of the uniforms the evil dictators wore in those Twilight Zone episodes about unnamed totalitarian regimes.For more about the power of creepy uniforms and groupspeak, I encourage you to check out the documentary "Lesson Plan."
Thanks, I will definitely check that out!
I don't agree that there isn't brainwashing going on at the celebrity level. Cruise did not look like someone who was altogether there in that video with the Mission Impossible song. And Travolta at minimum seems to be being blackmailed.

I also loved Travolta talking about 'a world without criminality; a world without war' while sitting there in head-to-toe camo.
I laughed there too. Also, if that is what Scientologists want, why the psuedo Navy uniforms?
I kind of wish they had gone into Battlefield Earth.

Of course.
It reminds me of the South Park episode with Stan being audited.
"Do you like being told what to do?"
"Do you sometimes whistle to yourself?"

When my older son was a toddler, we visited D.C. and stayed in DuPont Circle. Our walking route often took us past this place. Then we'd hang out near Ghandi to alleviate [my] wiggins.
Ha! I was in DC for a bit, and would always furtively walk by this place. I was always trying to peek in, and would have to psych myself up. There were never people outside of it, otherwise I would have walked away so quickly.

I haven't read the book, but I did read Inside Scientology which I liked.

Really, they have more in common with Kris Jenner and the Kardashians than they would like to think.

I just watched the wedding special last night that showed Jill's wedding. I was so annoyed that Jim Bob was at the ceremony and was the one to let Derrick know he could kiss Jill. Does he really need to dictate everything? I mean they were married at that point, couldn't he butt out?
At what point does that level of involvement end?
Also! And this is completely shallow, but if the girls are allowed to wear makeup to show their countenance, why can't they go to a dermatologist? I feel bad for them, acne sucks.

Jessica & Ryan D
in Married At First Sight
It is really hard to have to compromise on having someone cook for you. Especially when they agree to do the grocery shopping. The struggle.
On a shallow note, Jessica's mascara bugs me.
