[Joe & Kendra: Looking Forward To Side Hugs]

I think of their many skewed beliefs, using any kind of birth control would hard for them. The two Duggar women that have fully embraced pants are the only two to have put some thought into when and how many kids to have. And that's just wearing pants. But "denying God's blessings" is a whole other ball game.

Unless a kind woman explains fertility and headaches to Kendra, I think she'll continue to be "surprised" every year.

Grandma Jane (Bates) tried to explain it to Alyssa and it hasn't helped. 

[Carlin and Evan: But Mostly Carlin!]

I guess this means that Carlin and Evan won't be having a zillion little angels. 

[The Lonely Bates Club: Still Looking for Love]

I wonder how UPTV feels about all of this. Kelly not caring about the show and all. 

[Alyssa and John: Lunch with Lurch]

Wonder what Grandma Jane is thinking.

[S10.E07: Marriage Bootcamp]

Did I hear Abbie call her husband "John Boy"?

[S01.E06: The Pendulum Swings]

Or is it in New York?

[S10.E03: Count Your Blessings]

When I look at Lauren, I think of Michaela. 

[S01.E05: The Nightfloat]

I don't like Carol's personality. Too arrogant or something. 

[Season 8 Discussion]

It was certainly interesting to see Erin reluctantly admit that she has worn a store bought dress, tucked in the tag, and then returned it. And she took good care of it!  But please don't ever do something like that to their Bates Girls' Boutique!

[Season 8 Discussion]

Didn't Chad say he had ulcers?

[Tori and Bobby: Whine Time!]

I wonder how Tori's relationship with her in-laws is going.

I don't blame Ben if he's not comfortable with PDAs.  Neither am I. And the Duggars  overdo it!

Ben was probably traumatized by Jim Bob and Michelle at the putt-putt golf course.

[Season 8 Discussion]

Erin seems to be thinking about a vow renewal. And Whitney sounds as though she wants ANOTHER renewal. They're coming across as a little privileged and spoiled.

I was a little shocked about Jen with the soup. I thought "that can't be Campbell's. EVERYONE knows you have to add some water to that". But it was. Jen doesn't read instructions if she's not sure?? She couldn't tell it was too thick? Even Zoey knew.

Does Whitney think an umlaut is decorative? And you know they're going to ask her about it in TH. Can't wait to hear what she has to say.

[Sweet Fellowship: Duggars and Friends (aka the Bates Family and Other Featured Families Thread)]

I'm surprised Pa Keller didn't put some kind of conditions on this courtship. Maybe he did, or maybe that's not acceptable. For instance, toning down the makeup and hair because Nurie is going to be doing prison ministry with him and Nathan. Maybe something about wedding gifts, as was mentioned. Pa Keller had to have been in the driver's seat during this arranged marriage agreement. 

[Sweet Fellowship: Duggars and Friends (aka the Bates Family and Other Featured Families Thread)]

I'm hoping that after the wedding, Pa Keller puts it in Nathan's head to have Nurie wash her face and tone down the look. 

[Sweet Fellowship: Duggars and Friends (aka the Bates Family and Other Featured Families Thread)]

It's more that she's going to be joined to a Duggar family via her daughter's marriage.

Wonder what JB is thinking?

[Jessa, Ben and Their Brood: Making a (Diaper) Mountain out of a Mold House]

Michelle seemed a little confused when JB said that they'd started out with two boys and a girl, too. The camera quickly cut away. 

[Jessa, Ben and Their Brood: Making a (Diaper) Mountain out of a Mold House]

I want to know what happened during Sammy's birth.

[Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!]

Hasn't Jill ever wanted to be seduced?

[Jessa, Ben and Their Brood: Making a (Diaper) Mountain out of a Mold House]

His eyes look dead in every picture.

[Jessa, Ben and Their Brood: Making a (Diaper) Mountain out of a Mold House]

Ben doesn't look happy in any of the Instagram photos that they posted.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if Ben is experiencing a major reality check..  He just turned 24, has 3 kids,a stay-at-home wife, no marketable skills or education, and now possibly a hefty hospital bill.  He will be dependent on his cheapskate father-in-law for life.  

Meanwhile his sister is a police officer, and his other sister is also gainfully employed as a beautician.  That's got to smart a bit.

Didn't Mike Seewald push for this marriage?  I wonder what he was thinking.
