I have a couple of issues with Jill's latest post about "savouring" moments. How is it savoring the moment if you stop to take a picture for SM? It's your moment, Jill. We don't need your advice and I personally would never take your advice, especially when it comes to parenting! It's an unattractive pic of your precious child and all the people behind her might not want to have their faces plastered on SM. I notice that they are all paying attention to the service. Only you and your overtired child are not!

Jill will probably have a nervous breakdown when she takes Janessa in for her "now you're 10 and you get a manicure" celebration. It's a good thing these "traditions" are all in her mind. Otherwise Sadie's due for a Build-a-Bear experience in 5 years.

If Renee is lucky, Jill will lose interest in Jillifying her!

@Ancaster, it was so nice of you to reach out to that woman in your building. Friends are key to helping us to get by after a terrible loss. If she is a reader, she may want to join a book club. It's a soft way to meet others in a new town. I'm glad she has her children nearby. And now she has you! Just having a friend to have coffee with can be a lifeline for a lonely person in a new town. Today is my cousin's wake. I'll see cousins that I haven't seen in years. My Mom has decided not to go. She's heartbroken about the loss, but most any event outside her home is too much for her to handle these days. When I visited her the other day, she was confused and very downhearted. I was concerned about her oxygen levels, but my sister visited the next day and thought she was much improved. I don't know if it's the perceptions of two different people, or if Mom is just having good days and bad days. I do tend to look for concerns. My Mom is so frail.

I find those comments from lost loved ones that pop up on FB, to be comforting too. Just a reminder of happier days.

Jill did not give Renee a fresh, new look. She gave her an unattractive, poorly executed cut and (weird) curl. Stick with the grifting, Jill. You are a terrible "stylist".

I was thinking the same thing. It seems like their marriage is performance art. Their method of communication even with one another, is through online videos.

Maybe so! I swear it's the little dogs that I usually see running free. All dogs are vulnerable running loose, but I would think little dogs are especially vulnerable!

Letting a dear old animal companion go is so heartbreaking, @Jynnan tonnix and I'm sorry for your loss. What a privilege it is to share our lives with a loving furbaby!

Each generation will be more poorly educated than the previous generation. Jill R's parents probably attended public school. Turtleneck Pat pulled her kids out of school and homeschooled them. Jill, with her education that was lacking "taught" her own 13, when she had a little time between grifting trips and vacations. Now that andKaylee is on FB, we can see how lacking her education was. Gideon has little hope for a successful future. 😢

I'm picturing Carlin and Evan all the way home talking about how K&T aren't any fun anymore, as if K&T are the problem!

I didn't even think of that! Thank you for the suggestion.

Just a small vent from my early morning walk. Why do some people think that their small dogs don't require leashes?! So there are a couple of small dogs. They look like Shih Tzus to me. They run loose sometimes in a neighborhood behind me, yapping away at passers by. This morning a young couple was walking towards me. The woman was holding one dog. The other was running and barking. I crossed the street. That sometimes work with fenced dogs, who usually stop barking after you pass their property. But this dog ran across the street at me, yapping at my ankles. The couple slowly crossed the street, but he didn't listen to their instructions and kept following me. I stopped so they could grab him. The guy didn't pick him up and nobody apologized. He toed the dog away. It was almost a kick and that made me even angrier. The dog isn't doing anything wrong as far as the dog knows. The stupid owners are making all of the dog rearing mistakes. I didn't say anything, but I did give them a disgusted look. I tried to see where they live, but I didn't see them again. If I ever figure out where they live, I'll report the owners. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE dogs, but these dogs are clearly not going to change their behavior with these fools as owners! I deserve peace on my morning walk when I'm walking on a public sidewalk!

I think we'll find out soon enough what name these two fools pick! In her video, Jessa expressed hope that the baby wouldn't come on Christmas day. I hope it does! Michelle can make a 2nd banner to accompany HBD Jesus! Although Jesus wasn't born on December 25th, but who needs to pay attention to pesky details? Certainly not the Duggars!

Whatever, Kaylee!

I think it was just another promotion for her book and MacArthur. And Jeremy!

Simon Peter Seewald - ok with you, Bin?

Does she have to run all her purchases past her Headship? Wasn't most of their money earned by her?

I can only imagine how disgusting lotion time with Josh must be. He's gross!

That sounds really fun, @Notabug! Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow. Everyone I know who has had knee replacement has been very happy with the result.

If those 6 kids were working with the public, they could bring so many more people to Jesus. At least Jill could brag about how many they've saved....after they turn their paychecks over to her, of course! But they can't go work with the public, because they might meet someone who doesn't follow their beliefs. Thanks a lot, Satan!

I've been thinking about Jim Boob, probably because I listen to the Digging up the Duggars podcast. I really detest what JB and Meech have done to their family. I've been thinking lately that JB is probably just a stupid, insecure male. I mean, it's so dumb to make someone like Bill Gothard your leader. His program and opinions are stupid and he never even followed his own advice. I'm sure that what attracted JB to Gothard's way of life was the fact that he'd be the dictator for life over all of his kids....well, that's how it's supposed to work anyway. It's misogynistic bullcrap that is a distortion of Biblical values, but JB couldn't resist the power trip. He's an awful, awful man!

Jill keeps trying to convince the world of their great love and I'm still not buying it! I think she does this to tamp down her regrets. He likely has regrets too!

I think she drove herself and Snuggles to the groomer the other day. She may not be comfortable driving the RV, but even Jim Blob made sure his sons could drive theirs. I remember him making JD drive around DC and he had the difficult task of parking the Stink Bus on an old episode. The Rods do things differently, I guess. Even more differently than the Duggars, who at least feed their kids!

I wonder if World's Best Hubby lets go of a few swears when he's spending hours repairing that old RV? And again when he's exhausted and driving their precious cargo (Jill's make-up and Plexus) late at night in the rain.
