I just hope the kid can speak English fluently. His mother's grammar was terrible.

I am watching the second episode of the septic house. Are they really listing this house for $900,000 and then telling prospective buyers that they will have to take out an $80,000 loan to have the sewer system connected? I realize that this is a special type of loan, and I don't know the interest on it, but how many people are willing to buy an older home with no sewer? This is crazy.

This is typical MLM operation. "Look what perks you can have if you get more people on board and sell more". Doesn't surprise me at all. I'm surprised they don't have different color blazers for each level like some MLMs do.

I can't tell if this is Abbie or not, but, at least at my hospital, it is entirely possible that an LVN would be working in the newborn nursery. Only RNs in NICU, but LVNs can work in regular nursery and postpartum care. This includes care for C/S deliveries with no complications.

Luckily Jill doesn't qualify for the "exclusive entertainment". You have to be a "higher up" qualifier for that. But Jill could provide "low quality entertainment" for the people that just qualified for the cruise. Jill just being Jill is "unique entertainment".

"Exclusive entertainment"?? The mind boggles.

I did hear them say they adopted from the foster system. It was only mentioned once, I think, so I think a lot of people may have missed it.

Got it in one.

Actually his ancestors were from England and Scotland. He just had a really weird personality. My grandma was one of those people that everyone liked--even if she was a horrible cook. Grandpa was just very strict and unbending. He was nice to us grandkids, but definitely not a cuddly, fun grandpa.

Dax reminds me of Opie Taylor in this picture. When the show first started.

I hope none of his modeling jobs have anything to do with knives or scissors. And I hope the director is very patient.

This reminds me of one of my favorite old movies.

My family "broken nose" story. My grandfather was a school superintendent in a small town in Iowa. He was a very strict and no-nonsense kind of guy, and was very strict with my dad and my uncle. It was picture day at school for my uncle, and all the boys were to wear a white shirt. On his way to school to be in this picture, my uncle came across some "buddy", and they got in a fight. My uncle's nose was broken, and he bled all over his white shirt. He went back home, where his mother cleaned him up, but he only had a blue shirt to wear. My grandfather was furious with my uncle because he showed up in a blue shirt. Never mind his nose was actually broken and smashed all over his face, and he was in pain. He did not have the correct color shirt. Some people just have no empathy if you don't follow the rules--that was my grandpa. My uncle loved telling this story.

Sealcoating reminds me of the horrible accident we had a couple of years ago. Our HOA was having the streets coated, and the truck blew up. All three of the workers ended up being life flighted to a burn unit, and the last I heard, which has been a while, the guy that was actually on fire lost several fingers and probably had to have the others removed. I don't know if he lost any other body parts, but he was in the burn unit for months. He was actually on fire. Word of warning: if you see a truck doing sealing, do not walk by. If there had been anyone on the sidewalk then this truck blew, there would have been dead people. The explosion damaged the garage across the street, and scorched one house on the other side of the street. Their trees were on fire, and they have had to replace all their windows in the front because of melting from the fire. Plus paint and some roof repair. I guess it could have been worse--no one was killed outright . But I never did hear what finally happed to the guy that was on fire. Do not ever stand in your yard to watch the process, even though it is interesting.

I am not a shoe diva. I go for comfort, and if they look good it's a bonus. Maybe her shoes are very comfortable.

Is Jill writing the content? This should be interesting. She can't even write a post correctly. Is she charging for this venture? This is so out of her wheelhouse. I almost feel sorry for her. Almost.

I take back what I said about Tim's attire in the family picture. He did get the memo on what to wear. He wore blue, like everyone else. This might be his only blue shirt, but he blended in well. And made an effort. Good for him.

I wonder if Dave will be tasked to print the wedding invitations. If so, I sure hope they look better than this flyer.

And DON'T let MIL Jill do your hair. Even if she begs. Even if she gets down on her severely bad knee to beg. JUST SAY NO. Actually, I think her sisters will have the dress and hair covered. At least I hope so.

I hope Heidi's parents don't abandon her like Anna's have. I get the feeling that Heidi has a pretty supportive family.

They have lived in MN before, right? All I could think of was MOSQUITOS. I hope they didn't buy this house because they think they can sit outside and enjoy the view in the evening. (I have been chewed up in Minnesota. Beautiful for a vacation, and I really like spending time in Minnesota, but I personally would not like to live full time on water.)

Tim's new family looks better than his "old" family. The members of this family are nicely dressed in clean, appropriate clothing that fit, and have genuine smiles. And no one appears to be starving. I doubt this family swims in drainage ditches. This is a whole new world for Tim, and I hope he embraces it and becomes "one of them". I think Heidi will prove to be the best thing that ever happened to Tim. (Mech would have a fit over the blue dress in the front row.)

Those are beautiful pictures. They remind me of the time I went down in a salt mine. Salt looks amazingly like marble, or like these rocks.

Only 5 states issue it, and their location makes me think it is to accommodate travel to Canada, even though they say that it makes travel to Mexico and the Caribbean easier. It is for land and sea entry; they do not mention flying.
