The paci is blue on my surface.
A kumquat is really small, wouldn't it be in the 'don't tell 'til its safe' stage? If someone told me their unborn was the size of abanana, I would think it's no longer in a fetal position and stretching out, but also thinking, 'aren't you eating enough for that poor thing?'

Derrick and women working makes me stabby. My Dad had to take early retirement because of cataracts. ( This was before the in and out in one day, and because of sensitivities to certain pain killers had to be put completely under. ) Not that we were hurting, but Mom had to work to supplement Dad's pension. She never worked before in her life. First she got a job with an upholsterer because they needed a seampstress. After the company went bust she learned electronics and got a job as an assemblier. You know what? I think she enjoyed getting out of the house and meeting people she wouldn't have known before. She upholstered a couple of chairs and also refinished a table. She also could read schematics and would fix our dishwasher. She was skilled with a soldering iron no matter with electoronics or leaded glass. A hobby she took up later. All of this was after she turned fifty. Do I think Jilly-Muffin could do this? No.
But also, Derrick doesn't see the enjoyment one can get from working. People,skills,etc. Maybe if he tried it he might.

thought maybe we should be able to see the tree house.
You can. Right of the picture you can see the bridge leading up to the tree house, and looking closer you can see the house.

Anyone who can read and follow directions should be able to cook simple meals. My mom didn't really teach me to cook (taught me what not to do!) and in my HomeEc classes, we made biscuit pizzas and Kool-Aid. What I know now is based on reading, following directions, and watching Food Network (I love Alton Brown's Good Eats).
That's what started my brother out with baking and ended up with the four of us kids trying out do each other with dinner. My eldest brother was asking why Mom didn't bake any cookies while she was in a super cleaning mood. She stopped looked him in the eye and told him everything he needed was in the kitchen along with the cook books and if he wanted cookies, he was welcome to make them. All of us started reading the cook books trying to decide on the cookies and got carried away from there. There was at least four nights a week when Mom didn't have to cook. (She never had to do dishes as that was our job, rotating between the four of us washing and drying. At the time, I think my brother was around 14, so I must have been at least 9. I mean there
are cookbooks that tell you everything you need to know. My sister swore by the Joy of Cooking. Doesn't Jessa have any?

I have trouble with Cathy’s theory of who lives and dies in this world and what saves their lives. If we truly believed that, there would be no prisons to hold people who accidentally or intentionally kill others. ‘ They were instruments of His will’, after all.
Now, do you ever see extreme Christians say that the person who killed their loved one shouldn’t be punished because ‘ it was just their time to go’?
Me, I believe in free will. Deaths happen for all sorts of reasons, a lot of it being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Should my loved one die at the hands of another- you bet I want justice here on earth. Jill and Derick didn’t seem to be ok with their friend in DA being murdered. Jill didn’t seem to be ok with things being Gods will in DA.
If she was such a Christian, wouldn't she want to "go home" to Jesus? But, she didn't she went to the doctors. Any way, I'm with you.

We're all out here wishing only boys on them (I know I am), so they don't birth any future sister moms, but considering their religion considers boy to be better than girls, they all probably think that having boys is a continuing sign that God finds them extra special.
Until they have enough boys for baseball team. I don't think the mom's will feel that special, especially if they keep up the strict gender work division.

As for the Pearls, why do these "Christians" keep going back to the old Testament? Supposedly, that covenant was broken when they accepted Jesus.
Also, who is the Duggar son with hair in the picture?

As one of my coworkers called them "private summers". Thank God mine are over. Didn't have them as bad as some and only became uncomfortable at night. My sister had the flashes and "
crazies".

we came here for my first ever Bat Mitzvah? It was for my granddaughter Ahava, who just turned 13 :) I was so proud of her, she did the service in English, Spanish, and Hebrew! (I kept holding the prayer book backwards, I had never seen one in Hebrew before)
I went to a Bat Mitzvah for an friend. She didn't have one when she was younger as her family couldn't afford it. I felt a bit out of it because I didn't know what was going on when they used the prayer books as I didn't read Hebrew. It wasn't until the end when I realized the English translations were in the back of the book! Loved it any ways there were four women celebrating and it as a progressive temple as they had women readers. Sorry if I named something wrong as I am not Jewish.

Butterfly Kisses" is a the grossest song ever written by the hand of man. It puts the "die" in "fundie."
Well, at least you know it's never going to be 'The Men in My Little Girl's Life.' I don't know how many will remember that song.

t's so touching and special and sweet how Cathy uses the untimely death of her husband and the father of her children as an opportunity to shake her Jesus pointy finger in our faces. Never a missed opportunity, eh Cathy
I had to it read 3 times before I realized her husband didn't know he was going to die. Not that he didn't know he found Jesus. I blame not wearing my glasses and the late hour. It was more interesting the first time I read it.

there probably are people in their circles who disapprove. However I don't think the church is ready to hold a public flogging, the way the article is making it seem.
The article said it was one anonymous critic, which I can believe. No matter what kind of spiritual fruit is served, there's always the danger of religious nuts.

Happy new year, y'all! It's freaking freezing here today but the sun is out for the first time in over a week, yay.
We have been below zero the last few days with record snow fall. The snow last week topped the total amount for all 2016 winter. It is suppose warm up by the end of the week. Should be fun when the snow melts during the day refreezes at night. The joys of winter in Montana
One reason I refuse to move above the Mason-Dixon line. My relatives in Michigan and Minnesota may laugh, but there we are. We are not supposed to get into the forties until Monday: we'll have a heatwave! I hope happiness for everyone in 2018!

I just looked closer at the skirt, it's not even a skirt durable for tubeing. She's pregnant and ill-dressed for the sport. Maybe she has pants under her skirt, but then why not wear a long tunic sweater or a longer coat if you don't want your lady bits shown.

In my last job there were many who had a career in a different field than their field of study, so a degree maybe for different things to different people. Maybe they want to impress those who are impressed by degrees or felt a bit out of place at a job where most of the people coming in now have degrees.I fully intend to take advantage of my state university's policy that if you are over 65 and there is room you can take classes free. I'm only 15 credits short, and I will have accomplished a degree. For me it's now a personal accomplishment.

Shallow alert!
He vaguely resembles Derick in my opinion. Hopefully only in looks and not personality.
I thought he had nice eyes...

I don't think it's hypocrisy, either. JocelynCavanaugh. I'm no Martha Stewart, and there's dog and cat fur on my floors that needs sweeping, and they could use a mopping, too. I'm not a pig, though, and there is no fecal matter on my dresser. All of the other stuff can go under bad housekeeping, but the fecal matter is just gross.
Unfortunately, Jessa doesn't have enough real-world experience to understand that there is a line -- and a dozen dirty diapers on the dresser is waaaaaaaaaaaaay over that line. Think about that. Her own life experience is such that she didn't eveen know that, and she was surprised that those photos generated the response that they did.
I was 16 going on 17 when I graduated and decided that since I didn't know what to do in life I would take the summer off. My father had died in September, and my sister just got divorced. I expanded my vacation by helping out and taking care of my two young nephews (two and not quite one). Even with the youngest getting explosive diarrhea depending on what he ate, (he was starting solids so it was a time of experiment, one he did out grow with no food allergies or other problems). In spite of the fact that most diaper changes also included bath time, and I was expected to keep up with the housekeeping and start dinner, even at that young age, I knew you don't keep dirty diapers laying around. The housekeeping may not have been gold or even bronze standards, diapers were thrown away. And yes, there was quality time. I played with them, took them shopping and to museums.

Someone needs to ask her what Ben does all day. He can take a break from internet school for half an hour and fold some clothes while Jessa engages the kids in "imaginiative play" or "cuddles." Or diaper disposal.
Or maybe she could put down the phone/camera and do a quick clean around. It shows the girls were not taught housekeeping skills. I waited until my nephews were napping to clean. I've known some people to put the kids to bed ( at a reasonable time) and then clean. There is no reason for the diapers on the dresser.

I love Aldi's. We also have a Shopper's, Shop Rite, Giant, and Safeway all about 10 minutes from us. Harris Teeters is about 15-20 minutes and Wegman's about 20. Mom's is within walking distance or a 5 minute drive. I almost forgot, we now have a Whole Foods 10 minutes away. In spite of all this, my two main stores are Aldi and Giant with Shoppers filling in for quick runs. (It also sells beer and wine). My sister in deep rural had a Martin's which I wish would come into the area. Judging from some brands, I think it was an upscale Giant.

It's a shame they look so "raggedity." I've seen little girls' dresses being sold with leggings and they look really cute. I never thought it would be a "thing" outside the Duggars.

I think they should change the US National Anthem to "America The Beautiful" . A lovely song that is much easier to sing.
I think the Brits would have something to say as it is the tune to "God Save the King/Queen"(depending on whichever is in power). It would definitely confuse things at places like the Olympics where the Nations anthem is played for the winner.
