And yet, they are influencers who give the little people advice on how to live!

Jill seems sad. I wonder if menopause is hitting her hard? Her blessing days are behind her now. She can't afford the cruise her wonderful company gifted her. Her precious bff Nurie is far away and Tim has abandoned her. Her future is looking grim to her, I think.

Does Plexus switch fonts as often as Dave does on smiley tracts? Or is Jill engaging in her love of graphic design again?

It's really nice that Jill and Dave remembered that they still have "littles." They even brought one along to Jill's "classy" birthday dinner! /s

Jill Rahdrigues posted this pic on FB (as a close up of Jill only) with this explanation: "A lot of you have been wondering why I haven’t been feeling well lately and why I cancelled my cruise. Unfortunately, I had to have my nostrils removed. This is a very emotional time and I thank you for your tots and pears" 🤣

I wonder if Nurie and Kaylee ever call each other when Jill is in a meltdown like she has been lately and strategize how to cheer her up? I would imagine that's quite common for siblings raised by a narcissist.

Jill, if you're reading this - when you write the tribute to yourself from David, don't forget to sign your response "Jilly Bean," the pet name you pretend that he calls you.

ikr? I try to never light up a room. That can get you killed! But Jill is definitely not the type to light up a room. Quite the opposite! She changes the energy in every room she's in, and not for the better!

Yaaaassss! I don't care what Kaylee Girl Jill says. Jill does NOT light up a room! (™Dateline)

The third comment about working Dads could be a dig at lazy Dave! Looks like Tim is all in with the Coveretts.

Lord Daniel, please don't let Jill be pregnant! She's a terrible mother and she spends her days drinking that god-awful pink drink with all those chemicals. I think it's more likely she's not going due to financial issues. Did her admirers pay to fix the broken RV or did they have to use their own money for a change?

That is an excellent point! It's too bad they are so far away from Carlin & Evan. Evan could have been eating his favorite snacks and party party partying while Erin labored. All the wrong personnel for this birth! At least Kelly was there for her photo op.

You may be right, @Zella. Getting together was sil's idea, but we do see them every month or two. We're supposed to go on an outing, including lunch at a restaurant. I think more than having it out, I want to nip in the bud any criticism of the nieces. So I may end up just shutting down a conversation. I don't want to get involved in a huge drama, but I do want to take steps to start being more real and less of a doormat to my overbearing sil. My husband feels much as I do about his sister. We both also feel that our niece exacerbated the situation by not telling her attorney about the stuff sil is pulling when probate started. She keeps worrying that it will cost her more money to let the attorney handle these things, but I worry about her peace of mind! She's very poor, disabled, in poor health and on food stamps, in addition to losing her mother. 😥 There are people in the world who see a death as their last opportunity to get some money from the estate. My sil is one of them.

I hope your neighbor isn't selling the stuff, @oliviabenson You would have to start checking the hallway before you go out in order to avoid being sucked into the MLM that is Plexus!

Thank you so much for valuable input, @GeeGollyand @Notabug. I agree with you both. I'm leaning towards still getting together and facing a difficult conversation. It would actually be easier and more like me to avoid the situation, but I think I need to face it. My husband has a lot of issues with her, but I think he's swayed by the fact that they are the only 2 left of their family of origin and he has always been good friends with her husband. I have thought that she's pushing for a get together with us now to either try to sway us to her side or to pump me for information on the nieces. Wise posters here to pick up on that! She won't succeed in either goal, but I do think I should face her even if it's for the last time.

I am fuming. I'm so disgusted with my greedy sister-in-law. She's all in on trying to squeeze some money for herself from her late sister's meager inheritance. She died without a will. Probate was over, but had to be re-opened for a time after she started making claims. This is for money she supposedly lent her sister that her nieces knew nothing about. At the same time she's trying to get together with us (my husband is her only remaining sibling) and I'm so disgusted with her behavior that I don't want to. With us, she acts like everything is fine, but I'm friendly with the nieces, so I know better. No one ever tells her off, so that is our part in this fiasco. She's a narcissist, so I don't enjoy our get togethers, but I've tried to be nice for the sake of family peace all these years. She's the kind of person who brags endlessly about herself. I have warned my daughters that we have no agreements to give her anything and we certainly don't owe her a nickel, in case we die before her. I wanted them to be forewarned because she is like Veruca Salt and wants it all and she wants it now! She's the one who told my husband (her baby brother) that he ruined a happy family by being born. She's awful. In other news, it's snowing here because of course it is - Halloween in the Chicago area usually brings awful weather for the kiddos!

That sounds exactly like something I would do, @Ancaster! I'm sorry you missed the MeetUp, but there will be more!

Privacy for me, but not for thee?

I hope Famy didn't harass Anna at her grandfather's funeral. (Just a jokey snark - I doubt Amy would have any reason to be there.)

Jill is the common denominator in judgments about her. Hmmm - Jill, have you ever looked at your behavior and your judgments and concluded that YOU may be at fault? Of course not!

I guess individuality is frowned on in the Duggar family. That's why is so hard to come up with anything particular to that child when wishing them a Happy Birthday on SM, which presumably, they won't see until adulthood for the boys and after marriage for the girls.

Layla does see her mom getting a lot of attention for claiming to be sick.

There's no reason to post on the internet that she only cares what God and her husband think. Unless of course, Jill does care what others think about her selling Plexus. She clearly is very interested in convincing strangers that she doesn't care what they think of her!

Ugh! I watched the camping trip vlog. I am sick of Evan! He surely does love the sound of his own voice. Carlin wasn't as annoying in this video and seemed to be enjoying the camping. Zach & Whitney spoke barely a word. The food Zach cooked looked delicious and their kids seem well cared for.

Jill and Derick are interviewed on a podcast about cults, called Trust Me. I'm listening now. It's an interesting interview. https://www.trustmepod.com/podcast/episode/423c8ad8/jill-duggar-dillard-and-derick-dillard
