    I also took a look.  All of their merchandise is sized according to small, medium, large, etc... but nowhere on the site is there corresponding measurements to allow the buyer to figure out which one is best for them.  When you click on 'sizing information', you get a tutorial on how to measure your bust, waist, hips, etc but nowhere does it tell you how to convert your measurements into the vague sizing used for their clothes.  So, not only are all sale items a final, non-refundable purchase; the buyer has absolutely no way to know for sure how the piece is sized before purchasing it.  Sounds like a scam to me.

    Sounds just like cousin Amy's clothing website that Jill also promotes.

    What's keeping me in suspense is whether Jill is capable of cooking a vegetable that isn't green beans.

    Most of the time Jill doesn't even heat them up, let alone cook them.  She just eats them right out of the can and feeds them to her children that way, too.  I've never seen anyone but a Duggar do that.

    It's because momma has to stay relevant and the top person in his life, and if "encouraging" Tim to spend his hard earned money on her, in her mind, so be it. 

    Stupid. But that's the way things are with her.

    Did you notice that Jill R. didn't post anything about a Valentine's Day present from her husband?  She cons her teenage son into buying her presents but her husband gives her nothing!

    Jessa is now shilling Thrive on instagram, as is Joy, following  Jinger’s lead. Yesterday (Joy) and today (Jessa) each did unboxing videos on Instagram Stories. Are they now competing for sales with one another? Or is this a MLM thing where Jinger is going to get a piece of her sisters’ sales?

    These products and the company have horrible ratings.  The sisters should have done their homework before ever lending their names to this promotion.

    Maybe they all do get their GED, and JimBoob/Mechelle are egotistical enough to think that the "Duggar Academy" diploma is more valuable, or at least makes for a better photo op than some bland letter with your score typed up.

    Only four Duggar kids have passed the GED test: Josh, Jill, Jinger, and John David.

    Jessa, who was put in charge of the Duggar homeschool at one time, never did pass the GED test.

    How is he still so thin if he eats that amount every day for lunch?  That just seems like a lot of food for one lunch...

    Who says he actually eats it?  Derick looks like he has anorexia.  He has no upper arm muscles, no thighs, no hips.  He's wasting away and looks more like a walking skeleton every day.

    Does anyone know if the typical contracts for faux reality shows like the Duggars' have non-compete clauses? If TLC cuts the Duggars loose can the producers take the show (under whatever name) to a different network? 

    The Bates family once had a reality show on TLC.  It was called United Bates of America and ran for only eight episodes from August 13, 2012 – September 3, 2012.  In October 2014, the Bates announced their new show on the Up Network.  Bring Up Bates first aired on January 1, 2015. If this is any clue, a non-compete clause might last for two years while TLC finishes airing a show overseas and in reruns.

  8. You can say all the good things you want to about Austin, but he is not providing well for his wife and baby.  Joy and 11-month-old Gideon are living in a camper while Austin renovates houses for other people to live in.  The baby has no place to crawl around and soon will be walking.  There's no bedroom for the baby in that camper and it is probably just a matter of a few months before Joy is pregnant again.  Austin doesn't care about them at all.  The least he could do is buy a decent size mobile home for them to live in.  Of all the Duggar husbands, he is the worst in my opinion.

    We've been discussing Jana's debut on Instagram over in that topic. I got curious about the follower count for the Duggars and their spouses on Instagram and did some clicking around. I found that the Duggar wives are crushing their spouses in follower numbers. Here's what I found (m = million, k=thousand):

    • Jessa leads the pack with 2m. Ben's got 845k.
    • Jill's way ahead of Derick. She has 1.6m followers and her Nasty-*ss hubby has 766k.
    • Jinger's holding her own with 1m, while The Most Reverend Pretentious Pants has 522k.
    • The Josiah/Lauren joint IG account has a respectable 456k followers.
    • Jana, who's just debuted on IG, already has 262k followers. If she comments on her sibs' IG posts I'm sure more leghumpers will find her on IG that way, and join the crowd.
    • Anna's on IG, with 761k followers. I couldn't find a verified account for Josh, so I suppose he went private on social media or quit altogether after Joshgate(s) and hasn't returned.
    • I couldn't find a verified account for Joe or Kendra, or any verified IG account for the Duggar family, Jim Bob, or Michelle. 

     

    The number of followers for Jessa and Jill were mostly accumulated in the pre-Joshgate days.  I think how they are really doing on Instagram is better evaluated by the number of likes their posts receive now. On the last ten picture posts, Jessa is averaging 119,130 likes, Jill averages 34,468.4 and Jinger's average is 86,344.5.  In other words, Jill is the least-liked by a long shot.

    The number of views on the last five video posts averages 465,400 for Jessa and just 128,597.2 for Jill.  (Jinger hardly ever posts videos.)

    But yes, it seems as if these days anybody can be a "coach" for this Optavia stuff. If it's the same food as before, it's really soy-heavy and a lot of people may not be able to tolerate it. I'm not flat-out allergic to soy but my bod just couldn't take that much of it day in and day out. 

    The 'Jessica" that Joy refers to as an Optavia health coach is none other than Joy's sister-in-law's mother-in-law, Jessica Ballinger.  Jessica is the mother-in-law of Austin's sister Meagan Forsyth Ballinger.

    I think that Joy should have disclosed this relationship, but in true Duggar fashion she chose not to be entirely honest.  I'm ashamed of Joy.  Behavior like this makes the baby Jesus cry.

    I’m actually surprised they let Joseph go to college though, what’s so special about him? 

    When he went to Crown College, he lived with the Bates family.  I think that a possible courtship with one of the Bates daughters was in the works.  The only thing he took at that college was a Bible Study course. That only lasted one year and then he was back to Arkansas.

    On the flip side, you know how many people see on line ordering as their own personal dressing room? Sure, order tons of stuff, then turn around and return it all for free and get a full refund. Amy's got a tiny boutique, she can't afford people ordering just to return. That's twice the credit card processing fees and twice the shipping for a lot of those companies. Sure, Amazon and Walmart can afford it, Amy can't. 

    All of Amy's offerings are generic sizes Small/Medium/Large.  While that works for some garments, form-fitting styles need actual dress sizes.  She is bound to get a lot of returns just because the clothes don't fit properly.  Also, she doesn't list fabric content.  People might be expecting a certain quality and become shocked when the fabric is actually a flimsy acetate.

    This isn't her first attempt at an online retail store.  Two years ago she launched a venture selling T-shirts and sportswear.  That failed.  www.shopsweetrachelle.com

     My Jewish  son-in-law (who is a doctor) always volunteers to work every Christmas so someone who celebrates can be with their family. 

    Many Jewish communities in America have volunteer programs to help out on Christmas Day in hospitals and care homes, so that more staff can take the day off.  They will help with non-medical services such as delivering meals, taking new mothers in wheelchairs to visit their babies in intensive care, taking juice to new moms to keep their fluid levels high, etc.  Dallas, Texas, for example has hundreds of Jewish volunteers doing this every year.  They do this quietly, with little publicity outside of Jewish newspapers. They do this just to help their neighbors and their community.

    That shirt is in style from what I’ve seen in various boutiques, but it’s way too big on Joy.  The print should start at the shoulder. The knot should hit the waist and graze the top of the pants.  She’s at least two sizes too big in the name of “modesty”.

    It looks like a maternity top.

    Derick’s reply to a comment on the chicken Etti post:

    047810A8-664C-498B-9726-EED944FE2AF0.jpeg

    Derick is so stupid.  He thinks Velveeta has cheese in it.  It doesn't.  There is no cheese in this recipe, only 1 lb. of Velveeta.  Derick flunked the cheese test, so I'm not too hopeful about his success with law school exams.

    He says, "You could eat this everyday!"  But they don't.  They go out to restaurants every chance they can because they really can't stand to eat Jill's preparations. Derick looks dangerously underweight.  This is not what he looked like before he married Jill.

    Gotta love these wonderful religious companions who dine both in and out with the Duggars. This guy. Mr. Anal Rape ..... 

    But I guess the girls were right about one thing when the Joshley child-molestation story came out -- Guys forcing themselves on unwilling and/or unwitting girls and women apparently IS somewhat common in their oh-so-godly circle. 

    Recently reported:  There are over 412 sexual misconduct allegations against current or former Fundamental Baptist ministers, involving 187 churches and institutions, with 168 church leaders accused or convicted of sex crimes against children. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/investigation-uncovers-hundreds-of-allegations-of-sexual-abuse-in-fundamental-baptist-churches/
