  1. of course she did. It's ugly, but froo froo. Who is the woman next to her? I seem to hear Janice Dickenson announce her breasts needed to be reined in. They are wandering. Sorry, but I noticed by following Mechelle's hand holding the pants, and looking at the sweater since I liked the color...
  2. I remember reading ages ago that foo should not be blue, unless it's fruit. People tend to not like blue food. Blue lasagne looks gross. IMHO, of course, YMMV.
  3. Still scary for JD and Si. I had a neighbor who was a navy pilot and when he left the navy was a instructor. He died training an inexperienced pilot to land. 😔 Hopefully, JD and Si don't train too many.
  4. Both my brother and sister had cateract surgery in both eyes, with rapid recovery. My brother was fine, but my sister hates she now needs reading glasses. I got a big kick finding out when light hits their eyes just so, they glow! They weren't so appreciative when I kept pointing out their eyes glowed like an animal's.
  5. Me too! I found a photo album bound in red leather, with everyone's names in gold. I asked why my name wasn't there, and was told I hadn't been born yet. I wondered why I wasn't added then I saw a few pictures of me stuffed in the back. It did bother me, but I did realize my brother in line next to me didn't have that many pictures either. My eldest brother had the most, then came my sister, even then most of hers were with our eldest brother. So in the days I was really honest, I realized youngest brother was equal with m even though his name was in the album. Thank heavens my parents never made me feel less (or as my sibs said, spoiled me).
  6. That skirt is an eye trap. She might as well have been wearing jeans than a jean skirt. Plus jeans wouldn't look so fugly.
  7. When our neighbors were renovating their basement, we got an infestation of their displaced mice. I have no idea which cat it was but I woke up to a tableau of the French Revolution in miniature. No guillotine but every mouse was headless. At least a dozen and I noticed because I stepped on one then screamed, jumped away, and landed on another. I didn't notice if they were feetless, our cats definitely think heads are the best part.
  8. There was news on Facebook about a mom naming her son Squire Sabastian Senator. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/parenting/pregnancy/mumtobe-cancels-baby-shower-after-family-mocks-name-shed-chosen-for-her-son/news-story/43af0d37cf0e06d2417f7f299e3c3f6c never underestimate the stupidity of the human race.
  9. I'm sorry, I became twelve. To the prayer closet...Blame Meechelle
  10. No , Bob Ross' method was totally different. Tim has seen pictures of mountains and he got paints and I think one brush. Bob Ross' method used a palet knife and would look different. For fun, my sister, my mother and I tried following along. Three different styles but, none looked like Tim's.
  11. Tim could have benefitted from Bob Ross' method or the older German gentleman who proceeded him. They both had a great, easy method for happy mountains, to say nothing of trees and clouds.
  12. That's what I was wondering! How often do you see a recipe from an American in Celsius? Even if the recipe is passed to an American, and then they share it in turn, the temps are usually translated to Fahrenheit, or high, low, medium heat. Also, it's not given in such precise translations.
  13. I'm curious why they "had" to make paper chains after they read the book. Was that something Israel wanted and insisted they do, or did the book require them to make paper chain after reading the book? Clarity, Jill, clarity! It 'd be nice if Israel asked to make the chains, and Jill agreed.
  14. Sorry I can't get rid of the extrabecause I can spell.neous quotes. I only meant to ask if the Duggar kids actually played board games. Gothard seemed against sports and competition, so maybe Jill never played board games. A shame really, I remember my family had Saturday game nights sometimes Monopoly or the game of Life, sometimes Poker or Hearts...
  15. For a brief second I thought he was wearing a shirt from Star Trek TOS. Wouldn't happen but the world was just a bit more fun for that brief second.
  16. Nope, it has a trough. Actually this was my favorite type bib when I used to babysit my nephews. The oldest was just starting to feed himself and didn't quite have the hang of the whole spoon/fork thing. I didn't have to worry as the food fell into the trough and he tried again. All good.
  17. I thought that was just me! I love that! I read an interesting article about post natal depression and pain after birth. https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/new-study-links-postpartum-depression-with-mother-s-pain-after-childbirth-1.4134311.
  18. It's clear they never read about the damage the isolation brought. I read a couple of true life events from women (Maybe that's why) about how the isolation was truly damaging. One woman in one of the prairie states walked a long distance (I want to say over 10 miles, but since I don't have the book with me I can't) just because she heard of new neighbors moving in. It really was a ridiculous long walk. Second a woman went crazy (literally, biting her children and fighting her husband). He tied her up to make sure she didn't harm herself or the kids. finally one day, she "became normal" asked to be untied and once free, started cooking and acting as if the previous months when she was tied never happened. I can't imagine the life of kids who had to witness that. Especially when you don't have an outside "voice" that can empathise (yeah, I know, you shoulda seen my Ma during that last snow, the way she eyed the pot and us kids I thought we'uns were goners until she killed that snake that fell through the sod roof.) or can sympathise, (if that happens again, just come here and I'll hide youo in the barn. We'll think of somethin'.) They only think it's only their family or it's everyone's. Neither is correct until they can compare notes on the outside.
  19. It's better than what I thought I saw on first viewing. I saw the brown and black thing behind her head while scrolling and thought they put a headband with sausage curls on her so she'd look like Aunt Pittypat from "Gone with the Wind."
  20. Jana Duggar: Something that is all her own or Jana Duggar: Something she doesn't have to share
  21. Some kids are more oral. They're the ones who have to have something in their mouths (Thumbs, bottles, pacifiers,etc.). Good thing is if you help them break when THEY are ready, less chance of a smoker. Based on some research, which may have changed in a blink of an eye.
  22. I know they save a lot of hassles at work. We have one and everyone buys their own coffee/tea preference and no one complains that someone left the pot on/with less than a cup and didn't make a new one. Some makers are using bio plastic for Kuerig cups and there are the reusable pods. The reason why I like it for work is probably why they have them in their homes. Not that I think they would think of the eco friendly solutions.
  23. If it's like the library at the university near me, anyone can get in, they just can't checkout books.
  24. I read her recipes and am amazed that the have no health problems related to sodium ( that we know of.) My sisters ankles would swell up like balloons with that much sodium. She quickly learned what she can and cannot eat and very rarely uses cream of ... for short cuts especially since making the real thing usually doesn't take that long. Jill should get a good cookbook, either Joy of C ooking, Betty Crocker, or even a cooking school series. Heck, she could even google her mother's recipes and I bet she'd find a healthier version. I would say subscribe to Taste of Home, but I don't think she'd have the cognizance to recob=gnize comfort food with daily healthful food.
