Plus the yearly property taxes and expensive upkeep from being close to the ocean. I don't understand how new home buyers can afford it.

Anything would be better than so many people stuffed in an RV. They probably appreciate the space they have in the house. It probably looks huge to them. And it is their's--all their's.

I remember Mech saying she liked the sound of harp music, so some of the girls had to play the harp. She may not enjoy playing, it may be taking up too much room, and it may bring up sad memories. If it is a good harp it should sell.

Two radiation treatments down, three to go. It was easier today because I knew what was going on. I'm not quite as tired today. The girls that run the machine are so nice, as is everyone in the office. I just wish the drive was shorter, but at least we don't have any snow. I don't care for having my head immobilized in the mask, but it is only for about 30 minutes, so it is doable. I'm glad I decided to do the treatments back to back instead of spreading them out over several weeks. I just want to get it over with. The process is interesting. The radiation machine moves around my head and has pinpoint accuracy. It is not loud, and I am in an open room with no tube to go through. They asked me what type of music I wanted, which was nice, but I don't like the commercials. I would think they could use something other than Spotify, but it is better than nothing. It is amazing to me how far radiology treatment has come.

Jill reminds me of Hyacinth Bucket in many ways, but especially when she asks for presents. I just rewatched the episode where Hyacinth wrote Christmas to herself because she was sure the people lost or forgot her address, and she knew they wanted to send her a card. She wrote over 100 cards to herself. Jill makes sure she has lots of photos of people, even if they don't want to be photographed. And she expects gifts from everyone. She may "buy" gifts for her children, but it is amazing to me how many are given back to Jill because she is such a good mama. These poor kids. I really sorry for the children who are coming up. They will be worse off than their parents

I wonder if she is trying to imply that Gideon "felt better" after a dose of Plexus. Maybe he was sick because of the Plexus he is getting in breast milk. I am worried for this kid.

Another reason I could never be Fundie--I hate coffee.

Jill's hair is off center, just like Nurie's was.

@Notabug , Best wishes for a quick recovery. I see a lot of ice in your future.

At least this time it is not in the bathroom with the filthy towel.

Sadly, I don't think she sees her actions as a scam. I think she truly thinks she is following the Bible, and that makes her "special" in her eyes. If her reading and understanding skills are as poor as her writing and "graphic designing", it is possible that she is incapable of understanding the point of what she is reading. Somehow judging others has become her "job", and she is above all.

I don't believe I have ever heard a person brag about how great they are and how much they "help" others as Jill does. It is rather disturbing. Her perspective is way off, in my opinion.

Poor Kaylee really has no choice. Her being in Jill's downline earns points for Jill. Part of anything she sells goes to Jill. I don't know how Kaylee can afford to buy the mandatory monthly amount, but Jill is not helping her daughter and son-in-law at all. Unless she guilts Kaylee and, more probably Jonathan, to pay her air fares.

I can answer "no" to her list of questions, so I guess I'm not eligible to sell this stuff. Sorry, Jill.

I am allergic to wheat, and I avoid the bread aisle if at all possible. I have trouble breathing, and the bread smell is too overwhelming. If I have to go down that aisle, I hold my breath the whole time. I stopped wearing perfumes many years ago, too.

I had my radiation mask made this morning. It was interesting. The mask does not cover the face at all. Two people took some very warm, sticky mesh material and formed it around the outside of my face, pulled it tight, and left it to dry. It has hooks of some kind on the edges which they hook to the neck support on the bed, so you are unable to move your head, but your face is not covered. It had to dry for several minutes before they could take it off, put my name on it, and store it for my next appointment. I had a CT scan while it dried. Then I went to another location and had another MRI. My radiation will start for real next Tuesday and will continue everyday the rest of the week and Monday the following week. Not sure what the schedule is for the next MRI or CT, but this office really has things organized. They just need to give better driving directions and maps. Got a little lost getting to the MRI place today, but made it on time anyway. I'm so glad I have a driver. She is always get me there on time. This is turning out to be quite an adventure.

I had a mamo tech tell me that often women have been drinking before their appointments. The new machine that our hospital used this year was actually much better. You just had to make sure you don't get smacked in the head by the clear plastic shield. But the test was much faster and less painful than before.

I guess a "mock" Christmas does not include a real meal. Just a few snacks and a lot of posing for Jill's photos. And some dollar store "gifts". No wonder she is "weary to the bone". It takes a lot of energy to buy those snacks.

Maybe that many snack foods at one time is a real treat? And it seems someone went shopping at the local Dollar General, and everyone received something. Maybe this is really the high point of their "mock" celebrations. Without an outside person to pay for all of this bounty, this really may be a big deal to them. Certainly not post-worthy, but it may really be exciting to eat all the snack food you want on one day. I still don't understand the "mock" business. It is just a (very) early Christmas party.

I wonder how many toys Amy donates to Toys for Tots.

She learned from the best!

I just got home from my first visit with the radiation oncologist, who is very nice. My tumor is not malignant, but it is pretty large. I found a lady who has a "handy woman" business who drove me this morning, and will drive to all my appointments. She needs the money, and I don't want to drive that far, so I think it will all work out. I have an appointment at 8:00 AM Monday for another MRI and to have the radiation mask fitted, and then it will be 5 radiation sessions that can be all in one week. Hopefully, this will keep it from growing. It is getting close to my brain stem, so we want to keep it in check. I see a lot of MRIs in my future (I HATE MRIs), but it is still better than cutting a hole in my skull. I feel good just knowing I have a plan in place. I'll see after the mask fitting--I hope it is not too bad.

I learned from watching the new documentary on IFB that there are many, many boarding "schools" just for girls from IFB families that are nothing but abuse and learning to obey. Absolutely horrible treatment. All the boy have is Alert, I guess.

I hope it is a boy because girls are not valued or treated well in this cult.

And still no info on why Spruge was in an ambulance wearing a neck brace. She posts a photo for clicks, and then never any follow up.
