I am of two minds with this one. First, we always removed our children when they acted up, and we generally received many compliments of how well behaved our babies were. So the parents were wholly in the wrong. But secondly, I believe the owner should have addressed the parents not the baby, maybe offered some subtle support to the parents, and if they didn't get it, gently point out that the baby is disturbing other diners. What I don't understand is how this was let to go on so long by anyone there. With all that said I would not boycott the restaurant due to the owner's behavior, nor would I applaud her. I believe kids are people and deserve respect. I also believe that if parents are bringing kids places where their behaviors might disturb others, then they best be prepared to take care of them. This is very true. I am friends with a number of folks who have difficulty getting family members into the US without the financial means to either support them, or for them to support themselves.

The whole time I was reading the posts I kept thinking, "How ugly could it be?" I'm thinking a simple band with all their birthstones. Then I watched a couple of seconds of the video. Oh my goodness! Why, just why?

My son was unfriended by his Grandmother when he was about 23 years old. He is liberal she is not. Then she had my FIL call my husband and 'tell on him' for disagreeing with one of her posts. We all just laughed & laughed.

Warm & fuzzy thoughts for you and your buddy Mindy M.

Carmellow, I'm so sorry. Words feel meaningless right now. Wishing for you moments of peace.

If you look at Amy's neck in both picks it appears she is wearing something different under the same sweater.

TLC said they are not continuing with 19 Kids and Counting. TLC still be planning to work with the married couples and/or have some specials planned in the future. So in addition to feeding his ego and wallet, JB might be trying keep his family present so interest doesn't wane.

My hubby returned to work the day after my deliveries. My extended family also had full time jobs, so it was just me and my babies, it was just the way it was. Maybe Josh had tickets and brought the 3 older kids to give Anna a break (or maybe the game wasn't recent). but I'm not sure if I was him I would want to display any questionable actions to the public to be speculated about.

Tough stuff HFC!!! Lets hope God sends a new message before September. I can't imagine how hard this must be for you. Congrats RPD!! And congrats to you Pixie Chicken. I remember those days when my babies were young and hubby worked long hours. Hang in there, and that non-hormone problem you are not having - you know it will level off.

Or the stress effected her last month, when babies grow a lot.

Just checked out the video announcement. Michelle's hair looks like it belongs to two different people. Wonder if she stopped dying or perming it or if the long curls are extensions. She could rock some vibrant blue highlights to go with all her blue tops though. ;)

I hear you NP. I have a J name and hoped for the last 4 girls they wouldn't use my name. Fortunately for me no Duggar has my name. BTW, I love the name Meredith, it is strong and soft at the same time.

Okay, so my neighbor, the undercover Vampire detective who is in the WPP, is on his deck grilling. And to top it off he is sipping on a big glass of red liquid, on the rocks. (Okay maybe it looks like a wine cooler or something, but it is red.)

I, too feel bad for the 4Ms. When they're old enough to access the internet it will be hard on them. I hope J & A prepare them somewhat for what they will come across. Even now with Mac heading toward 6 years old, if a rude comment is made in public, she'd be able to figure out it is meant to be mean.

Meredith is cute, I see some Mac in her for sure. And Anna looks pretty good for someone who delivered a few hours ago. The room they are in doesn't look familiar to me.

Warm & fuzzies RPD, Rock that interview like you own the place!

Are we sure it is not Meredyth?

Nope that was me questioning insecurities in religion. However I don't recall naming any one of the 1000s of religions in particular. And since I have only disclosed that I am religiously naive, how would one know if I am not a part of the collective "we"?

Please take no offense, I meant more as an organization, rather than individuals.

What is with the insecurities with religions? No birth control to grow a flock. Going door to door to bring in new followers. Evangelizing. Fire & Brimstone. If people believe, they believe. Is it money? Do they really think they are saving souls? Does anyone stop to think the God is shaking his head saying "No, no, I love you all, stop with all the fighting."?

Before or after Josie? ;)

Now no judgement - I've been watching Survivor for years.

If you read further on their donation page, it appears they do a credit check. Is this the norm? We only donate in lump sums. Is it typical to do a credit check for people who donate on a monthly basis? No matter the charity I would not be giving out my License # nor my SS #.

Does anyone else think that Josie may have mild Cerebral Palsy? Between her arm movements during the THs and that in almost every picture someone is holding her arms, as well as being a micro-preemie, it seems likely to me.

That they use paper plates bugs me too. Whether the "whole country can fit in AR" or not, they could still reduce their footprint. With that many kids and 2 dishwashers they could have a meal cleaned up in no time.
