Good lord....there isn't enough brain bleach in the entire world 😱 My only question is who gets first crack (pun intended) w/the butt plugs

I thought it was 2 visists per month of 2 adults each visit or 1 adult & 1 child over 5yrs age. If so, I can't see Anna going without a male headship to the big bad heathen prison. Maybe Anna + JB or Anna + David Waller. Regarding Anna procreating past #7, the simplest solution (not necessarily the most scientifically sound solution) was to collect the FF's swimmers while staying at the Reber's in a cup & toss them in the freezer. Then insert them in a turkey baster at will. To quote Jessa, "Walla".

Didn't 'Got Hard' (still love that auto correct) preach that if his flock followed his basic life principles others will recognize their superior moral character and give them whatever they wanted? Something like that.

Since fundies believe satan is always busy trying to build fortresses in people's hearts it's not a stretch to think they may also believe themselves to be continually tested by god. As I recall, the bible is full of such stories. Anna may well see her situation as a direct test from god. No way is she going to fail her 'helpmeet test' and forfeit her bejeweled martyrs crown now.

Actually, both Vannessa & her deceased love have drug priors so its not out of the realm of possibility that the sister is a user. https://soapdirt.com/exclusive-vannessa-cross-stunning-criminal-history-1000-lb-best-friends-star-drug-felonies-more/

Normally I really enjoy the Dr. Proctor visits but this one left me confused and w/a bad taste in my mouth. Im confused about the Dr.'s whole emphasis on 'Meghan only has a few more months left to lose weight, if that, & then she won't be able to lose any more'. Has Dr. Now ever expresssed this belief? His patients appear to lose weight for years after surgery as evidenced by the many follow-up episodes. Dr. P's assertion was similar to Tina's appointment last episode where he told her she probably couldn't lose weight on her own and maintain it without surgery. Also, I thought it was a little mean to tell Meghan she was one of his least successful patients. IIRC Meghan was near 500lbs at the beginning of Too Large and now she's 303lbs. That's almost 200lbs lost in 1 1/2yrs. If that's his least successful patient then Dr. P has a remarkable success rate as a physician. On a more shallow note, Vannessa's foundation makeup at Dr. P's was so light and so unblended at her jawline that she looked like a clown. I don't blame Vannessa as she is inexperienced w/TV cameras and lighting but are you telling me that no one in that TLC film crew noticed or tried to help her out? Kinda crappy IMHO.

For some reason David Waller immediately came to mind. Maybe it was the slightly 'off' speech style quoted in the article or the fact that the source seemed well acquainted with pappa Keller's prison ministry. Waller was also regularly present at the Disgusting Turd's trial in support of Anna. Just my guess.

The fact that both Vannessa & her sister have the same explosive temper makes me think they grew up surrounded by that and came to believe that rage and screaming are acceptable behaviors. I bet if someone called Vannessa out on her unacceptable behavior she would unleash a screaming torrent of foul language accusing the person of attacking and judging her and not accepting her the way she is. In other words, the problem isn't her behavior, it's her victim's. Meghan is right, there is lots of dysfunction here.

I'm thinking photoshop fail. No way this photo was taken in front on the Duggar tree. Looks like "Bin" may have been edited in as well.

Kudos to your dad. Doing things the old fashioned way isn't easy but it's incredibly satisfying. The problem/question is that Chris claimed to be Type 1 Diabetic & can someone w/Type 1 get to the point where they don't need insulin or pills? IDK.

We're happy, damit!! And more in love than evahhh!!

This ^^. Was going to say, currently in my school district, high school special education & life skills students are eligible for the honor roll & high honor roll. Many parents feel this is not fair. Parents on both sides have been very vocal about it. To bring it back to Tammy, just because Tammy graduated with honors doesn't necessarily mean much. She could have crushed AP Physics and Calculus or excelled in a remedial or life skills class. Unless we see her school records we'll never know for sure.

Actually, from posts I've read by respiratory therapists it is carbon dioxide poisoning. It has to with not being able to breathe properly. As I understand it, its a build up of carbon dioxide in the blood stream although I may be mistaken.

The 8 bottles of hard liquor a week, are we really talking 750ml (5ths) of hard liquor or those itty bitty single shot bottles sold at the register? This is 1 time I hope Tammy IS lying. Notice Tammy physically rocking backing & forth while talking to & about Dr. Smith? That's a self soothing behavior/kid's do that & baby's love to be rocked.

I find it interesting that both Dr. Smith & Tammy's siblings chalk Tammy's binge drinking/vaping/possible drug use to her 'hitting bottom' or just giving up. I'm no psychologist but I see Tammy as a manipulative rebellious teenager acting out to get attention. Tammy's drinking & partying didn't start until Chris, Amanda, Misty & Amy all washed their hands of Tammy & told her she's on her own. The siblings are moving on with their lives, esp. with Amy moving away & Chris getting bariatric surgery/losing a significant amt. of weight. Queen Tammy no longer has everyone to wait on her & be at her beck and call. She's no longer the center of attention & she knows it. By being a 'problem' child Tammy has once again forced herself to the front & center of her familys' lives. They sit around talking about her, calling her, visiting her, catering to her, etc. etc. Maybe Tammy even thought that now her siblings have no choice but to take care of her. Anyway, that's my armchair diagnosis.
