"Thank you, God! You are better to us than we deserve!" For once, Jillybean, you are absolutely right.

I think Jill is getting disillusioned with Plexus. Not getting to go on the cruise may have been the last straw and it's finally sinking in that she's never going to pull in the big bucks and never going to become a top-ranking Boss Babe. Naturally, being Jill, she couldn't possibly admit that any of this was her own fault, so it must be the company that has failed her. Probably all those mean-girl huns who are jealous of her dazzling style and sparkling personality and are conspiring to hold her back. So I think that Jesus is soon going to lead her to leave Plexus for anothjer MLM, just as He led her to ditch one church after another when she wore out her welcome. I suspect that this is why the girls have suddenly announced their new business opportunities. Jill is using them to test the waters with other companies before she makes her move. That's the only explanation that makes sense to me. Her daughters would never dare to start these ventures without her permission and she wouldn;t be likely to allow them to set up shop elsewhere if she still believes that her future lies with Plexus.

"That depends. Do you still count the one who's in prison?"

My mom told me that when her kids were born (1960 - 63). the Catholic Church instructed that once the baby came home from the hospital, it could not be taken outside again until it was carried to the church for the christening. The idea was to expose the baby to as little danger as possible, lest it die unchristened in a state of original sin.

Especially bcause we know that Dave will "dip up" first and cut himself an enormous slice. Then Jill will go next and after the two of them are done, there will only be about 1/4 of that tiny cake left for the others.

But was it the “good” KFC?

Just what every young guy wants: his tacky, overbearing in-laws pushing their way into his “work banquet” and showing off like mad in front of his employers and co-workers.

I'm surprised that she admitted that she didn't win a spot on the trip. I would have expected her to fake an illness or injury (or invent some kind of family emergency) as an excuse for why she had to give up the trip.

Prepared correctly, salt potatoes are delicious. You have to use very tiny new potatoes, boiled just until tender and served with a small bowl of melted butter for dipping. Trust Jill to turn a tasty regional delicacy into a ghastry mess.

"Don't deserve this" may be the first truthful thing she's said in years. "Don't deserve this" may be the first truthful thing she's said in years. "Don't deserve this" may be the first truthful thing she's said in years.

Jill faced an impossible task when it came to raising her sons: "How can I turn my boys into men of strength and valor like the Old Testament heroes, yet still keep them so terrified of my anger that they obey my every command and constantly placate me with praise and gifts?"

And if Mama is really upset, Nurie slips the waiter five bucks to loudly exclaim “This is your mother? I thought for sure you two were sisters!”

Even worse, maybe they didn't tell her ahead of time and she only found out when the rest of us did.

Unless I see video that proves otherwise, I'm going to assume that the "ski trip" is a big fat lie. At best, I'll bet that someone gave then one pair of broken-down skis and the boys are taking turns sliding down a small incline in their backyard. Dave bundled up and stood around just long enough for Jill to take his picture. If they actually went on grifted a genuine ski trip, we'd hear a lot more about it and we'd be treated to a bunch of pictures of Jill lolling aound the ski lodge in front of a fire, sipping a mug of NON-ALCOHOLIC hot cider.

And the same smug "Don't you wish you were me?" smirk she always wore.
