Yes! It's best to avoid falling, because a fall can change everything in an instant. I'm healing well. I'm kind of glad I didn't see it coming (I was on a walk in my neighborhood) because if I had, I'd have probably broken my wrist, trying to catch myself.

I recently fell and fractured my clavicle. I like to manage things by myself, but until my shoulder heals, my floors are suffering!

As a child of parents who had more kids than they could handle, I think it's selfish to have more kids than you have the energy and income to care for!

@Heathen- I'm so sorry you are stuck putting up with an employee from hell. I'm retired now, but stories about such employees always put me in mind of 2 women I worked with at the end of my career. I don't know how old your annoying coworker is, but she sounds willfully ignorant and immature. I think keeping as far distant as you can from her and her shenanigans, is your best option. I wouldn't discuss her with other employees, unless it's HR. I wish you good luck.

I'm sorry you're having a rough patch, @oliviabenson - I hope things are looking up today. It's 80 here and gorgeous, but it's the last warm day for a few days. (Northern IL) I still have fresh roses blooming! The trees are starting to change. I love fall!

That poem was too long and too full of bs. I admit I only read a few lines. (Jill - shorten it up next time. You need to learn to read your audience). The real point was Jill's "loving response" when she "went on FB" and was surprised to read such a loving poem on her own FB page. She's a victim of "spiritual warfare" doncha know? BTW, she's always on Social Media. That and money are her true gods. I'm sick of the way she and Dave are rewriting what happened. She was called out for publicly disseminating personal information that wasn't hers to give. No one has disputed her stance on purity. She's a liar.

I think they'd be wise to distance themselves from Jill. She would likely retaliate by not allowing him access to his siblings. That's sad, but at least they have a warm, loving family in the Coveretts and Tim would have the hope of reconciling with his siblings one day....when Jill is out of the picture!

I'm with you, @oliviabenson - no way Jill & Dave spent money feeding others. "We" is a broad term to Jill, IMO. "We" could mean that Tim or her parents paid or it could mean that the Coveretts covered the whole meal. I'm just glad the Rodlets were well fed for once!

MeMe's hands might be shaky in 16 years, so Naomi could end up with worse eyebrows than precious Nurie!

It makes me happy to think that all the Rodlets went to bed last night with full tummies, for once.

I'm reading Tia's book now. It's well written and heart stopping. This tradwife stuff is demeaning to women and girls. I'm so glad Tia escaped and I hope others do too.

I wonder if that's why they took a pic there. It looks a lot nicer and well framed than most of their pics.

Oh, Chi! That is hilarious! I'm still laughing.

I've deleted posts too, especially when I anticipate "corrections" or when I feel that my post temporarily killed a thread, worrying that my post was too boring!

Jill doesn't want to hear testimony like that! If she replied, she'd probably say, "Love ya" which is meaningless. Or maybe she'll offer her a spot in her Plexus downline, since Plexus cures everything. 🙄
