I'm glad Jill added that it was old fashioned Sunday. I was thinking, "What the he** is that woman wearing?!"

Someday in the not too distant future, there will be a Mrs. Spurgeon Seewald and she and her headship will have their own thread here!

I'm enjoying the show, but I have to say that I was one of the few in my book club who didn't love the book. It kind of reminded me of Ayn Rand's writing and I'm not a fan. But the story was interesting and informative about the roles women have been forced into. I do love smart, unique people, both men and women. Calvin and Elizabeth are both certainly smart and unique. They don't fit into traditional roles and the world does contain people like that. Thank goodness for unique people!

The determination you showed at age 9 directly led to the strong, accomplished woman you are today, @Scarlett45 - I like that story! Except for the braiding part. That must have been hard going to school every day, if you were unhappy with the way your hair looked!

That's a good point. They may have clammed up because they don't want to reveal where their kids currently go to school. They were both all in when speaking about the importance of educating their kids, even daughters if they ever have one! JimBob would be appalled!

Once my baby banged my nose with her head in the middle of the night. My nose was bleeding like crazy. I ran to the bathroom and my sleepy husband came in and handed me a white towel. I said, "Not that one. Get me one of the brown towels." It hurt for weeks, so I guess it was broken. I never went to the doctor and I guess my nose looks ok. It's the least of my worries!

And Renee needs one too, so Jill is advertising her so much lately!

The filters Jill used to protect her giant ego are ridiculous! She's so delusional, she's probably convinced herself that she actually looks like that! Missing nostrils and all!

I just listened and it was an interesting interview. I am a little suspicious that the boys may not actually be in public school currently. Kate talked about that they were sending their boys to public school. They didn't say that they aren't, but they raved about the public school Israel went to when they lived in their old house and said nothing about the current situation. Jill is pretty well spoken, though she does interrupt Derick a lot. I don't mind that. I'm just saying that I noticed it and have noticed it in past interviews. Derick didn't say much.

At least she didn't insist on putting 80's make up on his damaged face for the stupid photos. It's not easy to be a Rodlet, but it's probably slightly better to be a male Rodlet....as long as he puts Mahmo front and center his whole life long!

I don't believe a word that Jill writes, especially when it comes to her kids. Although I had to laugh as she corrected all of us for worrying and being sad for Renee. She said that "Renee isn't willing to compromise her convictions or beliefs to obtain her MRS degree." That would make her different from her Mahmo, who married the first guy to show interest in her, despite the fact that he was from an UNSAVED home. I think Jill looked at her recently saved future headship and told the Lord, "I'll take it from here!"

@Jeeves- your pics are gorgeous! That article is so interesting. I started out posting cute pics of my grandkids on FB when they were babies and I've since not only stopped, but I also made my albums private. I see friends posting so much info on their lives and their kids. I have 6 beautiful grandkids that I don't talk about online. My sil, who is a very braggy poster, posts so much about her nearly grown grandkids that it could be dangerous or detrimental to their careers. Hey, it's great that our great nephew is doing such interesting things, but what's the point of posting about his plans down to the last detail? It could HARM him! Technology is getting crazy. The government isn't allowed to know everything we do, but corporations have no such restrictions!

I will not be surprised if there is never a second issue.

True! Besides Jill would argue (if her sisters complain about her not helping) that she cut their hair.

I have to say, I really enjoy my walks in the fall weather. I don't get so hot and stinky. I can wear my weighted vest more comfortably. And the trees are gorgeous right now! We are finally getting our driveway sealcoating done today. It rained on the other two scheduled dates. It's kind of chilly for sealcoating today, but they're doing it. Last chance for this year, I guess. Our HOA isn't always on top of things, but they do try.

I think Josie uses a lot of product to make her heatless curls last longer. I tried an Amazon version and ended up giving it to my teen-aged granddaughter. My hair is wavy too, but I'm just not into using a lot of product on my hair. Josie's always looks great, though.

I resemble that remark! 😉 I thought the same thing when I saw Jessa's post. Her tree looked a lot like the one I bought on Prime Days. We put it up to make sure it wasn't damaged because the box was slightly open on delivery. Mine isn't decorated yet, but if I had a Spurgeon in the house (I would never name a child Spurgeon!), it might be! Anyway, the thought crossed my mind that maybe Jessa ordered a new tree too, but I guess decorating early is a habit with Jessa? I've always put my tree up the day after Thanksgiving. I noticed she was only a voiceover, unseen in her video. I think she's still playing games with her followers regarding how far along she is in her pregnancy.

Since Jill and Dave are always on their once a year vacation, it seems easy for Tim & Heidi to plan for a wedding while J&D are away!

Heidi should avoid wearing a headpiece at her wedding!

Actually, her husband is all the way on the right. I saw her holding hands with him in another pic, so even though he looks like he could be a sibling, he's not!

I've seen no evidence to support a "Jill is pregnant" theory. I suppose it's physically possible, but her posts about Philip loving his Momma forever and ever amen seem to me more likely to indicate one of two things: 1. Her nose is out of joint over Tim's failing allegiance to her and his seeming acceptance into the Coverett family. 2. Philip foolishly shared his interest in a classmate and Jill feels threatened, so she wrote up the Momma forever text to announce to the world that her boys love her SO MUCH! In any case, clearly it's Jill's world and we all just live in it.

I have a small confession. Our Christmas tree is up! We ordered a new one during Prime Days and the box arrived slightly open. We had to see if everything was there and working. No ornaments, no garland, just a lit up tree. I turned it on this morning to enjoy while I'm having my coffee in our quiet house. It's all good!

Poor Renee. She will never be out from under Jill's thumb. Amazing how you've grown your own downline, Jill. 😠

Michelle Duggar seems to have foot problems, so maybe the 19 pregnancies have been hard on Kelly's body. She could try Orthofeet - I've bought a few pairs there and they made a huge difference when I had plantar fasciitis. I could finally walk pain free and it got better. I just looked at the site and there weren't any cute for a wedding sandals. But Kelly's dil Tiffany was wearing casual sandals at the wedding. So she could have gotten away with them. I get no support at all from the type of flats Kelly did choose.

I'm not seeing these miraculous results and I see pics of Jill and family nearly every day, whether I want to or not! In fact, Dave looks pretty unhealthy and Jill uses so many filters on herself, it's impossible to see the reality!
