    I love Russell Stover's sugar free peanut butter cups, but they are so expensive now!  I have been buying Atkins Endulge sugar free peanut butter cups, I think they are just as good as Stover's and less expensive!

    or get a spoonful of peanut butter and dip it into keto style coco puffs.

    (Had to share but sorry off topic, west coast here...)

    I'm not at all expert in these matters, but I believe that these days a publisher expects an author to be actively involved in promoting their book. I can't slam Jinger or Jill for diligently - or relentlessly - promoting their books. They're basically just doing their job. 

    In the "old days," authors tried to get as many bookstore appearances as they could, when they had a new book out. The better-selling authors were taken around on multi-city tours to make those appearances. I have a few fond memories from the 90's of attending appearances at indie bookstores by authors whose novels I really liked. 

    The internet and social media have changed the world in so many ways. Including putting more of the promotional work in the authors' hands.

    You're right, it's part of the job.  Friend just had a book published and she said that she's contractually obligated to post to social media.

  3. I've been sort of half heartily watching these as I fall asleep but I'm annoyed by everyone. You'd think the matchmakers would vet these "dates" as possible marriage partners but no, these are, at best, just possible hook ups. So stupid. I'm out.

    Just from the commercials the dad was super sketchy.  Any grown man who throws himself down and pounds his fists on the carpet while screaming in frustration like a two year old loses points big time with me.

    Yeah, he never got a clue. His lawyers had to coach him how to behave and he completely forgot their directions for the special.

    I kind of feel like Joe Schmo had an underlying meaness to it that this show doesn't have.

    JS was a "reality show" so meaness was a part of it whereas this is a "real" trial so as crazy as the actors seem they could only go so far. I can't believe he didn't figure it out just by the time everything took. It was like two weeks for a pretty simple case with a defendant that appeared to have no money for the pain and suffering lady to win.

    Production interviewed Jen from Fundie Fridays, and she made the cut! Watch out for her clip on Reddit. She just aired it live on her YT. 

    She promises that they are going after the IBLP, hard. 

    I haven't found Jen to be a reliable source and was surprised she made the cut. She's pretty sloppy with her facts in her rush to bring down the Christian right and religious cults. So while I appreciate her videos casting light on these groups I hope other sources who at least have some experience with Gothard and his cronies are featured and not anymore YouTubers, vloggers or other media folk who use the Duggars for views.

    I did actually get something from the first episode, which is that I learned about the Creative Reuse Center.  I had never heard of those and was very surprised to find out that there is one in the D.C. area; they don't do a very good job of promoting themself.  But wow, they really do take all kinds of junk that you would otherwise throw away (or recycle), like keys, the little plastic tabs on bread packaging, loose crayons, egg cartons, etc.  However, I do wish the woman had explained why recycling is so bad. 

    I think she did comment that reusing what you have so as not to make waste was the goal. It's not the recycling but need for stuff that creates the waste in the first place that the problem. This was my come away.

    I think this is all Darcey & Stacey think about. Seriously.  They have body dysmorphia or something.  I can't spell it but something about them is really screwed up! In regard to their BODIES.

    It's just so weird.

    A friend of mine liposuctioned her tummy and did some research about after effects. It's important to keep your weight stable because new weight has to go somewhere and its why you sometimes see weight added across the back of the shoulders or other places. S & D are short and stumpy and I think have those oddly placed fatty spots. Just something I've thought for awhile.

    If Danielle wants to manifest money, an extra $15,000 for life just for working one more year is a pretty good manifestation!!!!

    I'm hoping she took a one year sabbatical and is playing everyone. That fact that they kept mentioning the one year plan for apartment rental and visa made me suspicious. 

    My cousin just took an unpaid one and can come back without benefit lose.

    What show could they possibly be filming? If they're together, it's not Single Life. There's no Visa involved so I can't be the OR show. The Florida Keys isn't a foreign country, so it can't be TOW. They just finished on HEA, would they be back AGAIN? STILL Happily Ever After? Maybe it's a follow up "where are they now" kind of show? In that case, hopefully a "one and done" 

    Maybe Pillow Talk. It works as a bit of a time out between seasons. Some of the couples have even redeemed themselves. Maybe? Nah.

  11. Oddly quiet in here.  I know Meg has the reputation of always playing the victim but man even with control of the editing she only talks in me phases.  You'd think she'd have figured out by now that's not a good look but she just can't help herself.

    I take back what I said about Kara's hair. It really works with that dress.

    Thank you! That was my wedding hair and I looked darn pretty. It was 1990 and I Ioved a curley bob.

    I just saw a Youtube regarding a Tik-tok by someone who claimed to have had a fling with Josh during the Ashley Madison scandal.  It's not the Danica person who sued him.  This one's name is Carley.  On the Youtube, it says what he asked her to do, and if true, it's super creepy, i.e. asking her to put her hair in pigtails, etc.

    She looked very young and that happened awhile ago (2015) so she didn't look the right age to me. Also she said and emphasized more than once that he gave her "a lot" of money multiple times. Smuggar spending enough money to make an impression on her sounds suspect too.
