  1. I’m in the North Sea watching the news on the TV in my stateroom. I hope everyone here from Boston is safe and sound. The bridge collapse looks terrifying. We have two days at sea heading for Narvik. So far it has been smooth sailing.
  2. So sorry for you and your family. been there, done that and it is tough i meant to reply with a hug but the seas are a bit brisk right now and I hit the Wong emoji.. Thinking of you
  3. I'm thankful for all the CARING people on this site who are willing to share advise and their CONCERN for everyone.
  4. I'm leaving Wednesday for the Arctic. Packing for 20-30 degree weather is proving difficult, but I think I will make it. I'm going to have to take a separate smallish bag just for my heavy boots and warm shoes. I don't think I am overpacking, but everything is just bulky. Anyway, this supposed to be a good year for viewing the Northern Lights (lots of sun spots, or something like that), so I hope I get some good views. And I hope I don't freeze. I love Norway, and have never been there in the cold weather, so this will be a new experience for me. If anything happens here, please let me know where to show up. I don't want to lose my friends!!
  5. In this culture, the eldest son is "in charge" of siblings and has special treatment. JB used to take Josh to the (was it the state senate??) when he was very young, and he received a lot of attention. He received "special treatment" from his parents when he messed up (badly). Being in prison is the first time in his life that he is not in charge, and is not getting special treatment. I don't think the ability to care about others was instilled in him growing up. It will be interesting to see how he handles life when his sentence is up.
  6. She needs to decide how she wants to look in her filtered pictures, and then do the same each time. She looks totally different in these pictures than she does in others. Pick a lane and stay in it. How about being honest and NOT using filters???
  7. Now it is back to normal. I don't know what is going on.
  8. Has anyone else had their screen look strange? Mine is now slightly over have the screen size, and none of the settings have been changed. It is the same on other sites, also. I don't know what happened or how to fix it.
  9. I'm actually surprised any of us can figure out what Jill is posting most of the time. Between misspelling, poor sentence structure, the deluge of commas, and bad grammar I'm thinking we should all be proud we all have a degree in Jillese.
  10. A couple of positives (I know, they are few and far between). The younger kids, including the babies, are wearing life jackets. They may have used car seats (if they are lucky) and will soon be swimming in ditches in street clothes, but they do have life jackets for swimming with the turtles. The birthday post from Heidi's mom was genuine and very, very nice. It was about Tim, and not the sender. I do have some hope for Tim. For his sake, September can't come soon enough.
  11. She won't drink coffee, but she will drink Plexus? Doesn't Plexus specifically say it is not for pregnant women or nursing mothers? I guess you read what you want to read.
  12. That picture is scary. She looks plastic. No wonder she and Dave spent all their time alone on the last Plexus trip. People would find out that she looks nothing like the pictures she posts of herself. She is just plain dishonest. And she is fooling no one except herself.
  13. Jill has a history of announcing wedding dates when she has no right to do so. She was invited to Jinger's wedding, and posted the invitation when the date was not public information. I think that was the last Duggar wedding she was invited to. One thing that is consistent with Jill; she never learns.
  14. My guess is that since Tim and Heidi have made it clear that they are in charge of what gets posted about them, BME will have to double down on the privacy invasion of Nurie and Renee. She just has to be in charge and needs the attention, and to feel totally in control of everyone else. And since the "headships" don't seem to stop her, it will continue. One day she will go too far and there will be serious consequences--either the husbands will react, or a lurking fan will cause a problem. Jill has no common sense.
  15. JB is slipping on his job. At least 2 of the girls are old enough to be courting. Serious question--do you think JB might be having trouble finding husbands for his daughters? I wonder how many people are keeping their distance from this family now.
  16. Have you ever had a head CT or MRI? I hate to sound scary, but a head CT after a bad session of vertigo is how they discovered my brain tumor. Apparently, lots of people have non-cancerous tumors that grow over many years, and are not discovered until something doesn't feel right and they have a CT scan. See what your doctor thinks. Good luck.
  17. Heidi's mother posted a couple of months ago that they have the dress ordered (apparently from a bridal salon and not a thrift shop or borrowed), the venue is set (apparently a real wedding venue and not crashing the in-law's anniversary dinner (see Nurie), and that the caterer is reserved (so apparently a real wedding reception with food (again see Nurie.) I feel this will be a very nice occasion as opposed to Jessa's melting ice cream in the parking lot. This preparation time may seem long for a typical Fundie wedding, but I think this will be a very nice occasion. I get the feeling that Heidi's family has much higher standards than the Duggars or Tim's family.
  18. Thanks. I thought they had said the wedding would be in September, but I only heard that once, and never an actual date. Now if they would just move farther away from Tim's home and closer to Heidi's home. I wonder if that will ever happen.
  19. Could be. I have always felt sorry for her. Joy was supposed to be her buddy, but Jana got the job because Josie was so ill. How you could pass off a fragile newborn to a daughter to care for, even it is the oldest daughter, is beyond me.
  20. Josie was a micro premie. She may have some delays. We have seen her act much younger than her age. Being the youngest, I'm sure she has been babied. And I doubt "school" is being taught or of much importance anymore. Education has never been shown to be of much importance in this family. She will be courting in 3 or 4 years, so lack of educational skills won't matter too much. This is just so sad.
  21. We know Jessa is living minimalist. Is her mattress still on the floor? Don't the kids only have 3 or 4 outfits each? We know she doesn't spend any money on wrapping paper. I guess she has to have something to post about.
  22. I'm proud of Tim for showing interest and actually going to museums and other places of interest, and asking for other suggestions. And I am quite sure that he and Heidi won't be writing on walls or climbing buildings. I am also quite sure that they are going to these places during viewing times, and not after hours. This is a whole new world for Tim, and I'm happy he is participating and showing enjoyment. There is hope for him yet.
  23. I get the kids confused. Was Gabe the one who did not want to move because he was going to be in a leadership position at school? Football captain, or something like that. Whoever it was, he desperately wanted to stay at his LV high school for this last year, and Janelle finally gave in to Kody because she wanted "the right to raise her son". I remember he was extremely upset, and I felt so bad for him. He had the option to live with a married sibling (Aspyn??), and they would not let him stay. These kids really have had a hard live that was caused by their parents.
  24. I think it is really great that her severely injured shoulder and knee were not an issue on her trip. I wonder when the injuries will be brought up again. They seem to come and go as needed. One of my friends that I'm cruising with has to have a total shoulder replacement when we get back. Now THAT is a severely injured shoulder. Do we even know how Jill's "severely" injured shoulder happened?
