I would get tired of some of those remarks if I were Jessa, too. Some people are downright ugly to her. Now I say things in snark that I wouldn’t post on her page or to her face. If I were on Instagram, I might have posted this in response to her diaper pile. “Jessa, you seem by all accounts to be a caring and engaged mother. Your children are beautiful, and always look clean, well fed, and happy. You’re obviously doing a lot of things right. I get that our houses aren’t always Pintrest perfect, mine certainly isn’t. That façade is exhausting to maintain. You were trying to tell us that this is what happens when a few days of cleaning don’t get done in favor of other priorities. But, that icky pile of diapers on the nightstand is really unsanitary and really icky. Sorry to sound like I’m being unkind, but I don’t think your fans have stomachs that strong. Please, more pictures of your boys. They’re delightful.” I would hope she wouldn’t smite me over that, but there are certain people who are so thin skinned, that they block anyone on their Twitter feed who is not heaping praise upon them every time they poop in the toilet.

There are systemic estrogens like pills or patch. Then there are vaginal creams that act more localized, which was what my GYN recommended for me due to my having a mutation that put me at risk for breast cancer. The breast specialist said she prescribed Estrace to some of her breast cancer patients because vaginal dryness is a quality of life issue. Estrace made my lady bits feel much better. It didn’t suit me, since it caused breast tenderness, which was awful. And, I would have occasional spotting. None of these side effects were unusual, but I stopped it and used olive oil (doc recommended it) or replens. I had a history of endometriosis since my teens and a HORRIFIC peri menopause that began in my early 40s. My periods were so heavy that I took Depo shots and I got some relief. Acupuncture helped. I attempted to use an unopened unexpired professional sample of Estrace December 2016. It’s like it lit off 3 periods in 3 months and breast tenderness. This was only using it 3 or 4 times and not the 1 gram daily dose. I’m talking half a dose twice a week. My gyn onc said the endometriosis was likely the cause of my clear cell diagnosis. Not everyone with endometriosis gets it, only like 2%. It’s very aggressive. I was in Stage 4 by March of 2017 and I had a clean chest X-ray in mid January 2017. Every woman should choose the risks she’s willing to accept. Most insurance covers genetic testing. If you have BRAC or other mutations that cause breast and/or ovarian cancer, it’s best to be sure and insist on getting your CA-125 levels tested.

She’s a nasty wench., for sure. I knew it had started when it was February and I kicked the covers off. Mr E tried to put them back over me, since he knows I wrap myself up like a burrito to sleep. I tore him a new one and once the ass chewing was done, I apologized and sheepishly told him that I was calling the doc first thing, because the fairy had arrived. He agreed that my change in night sweats was too much to not be the fairy.

Thanks, Marigold. I only hope to be blessed to do as well as GussieK. Mr E and I both have a family history of longevity, but diabetes is the scourge of his family and cancer is the scourge in mine. In my early 50s, I’m one of the youngest in my family history to get cancer. I don’t have a BRAC mutation.

I had considered that the first time I looked at it. I looked again and changed my mind. It’s tough to call, but she’s had this bad nail polish thing going on for some time now.

Sad but true. Marriage is the only way to make prison break to enjoy a few freedoms without the presence of their wardens and snitches

So, how dreadful was it?

It’s really too small. And I accidentally liked one of my own posts. Either we’re allowed to like them now, or it’s a glitch. I at first thought I was mistaken and tried it again and the count went up. I then unliked it. For now, it’s possible to do that, but we’re the most modest forum ever, right?

It looks like she’s got gauze or toilet paper in her hose. That dress looks really nice on her. Pity about the chipped nail polish on the mani/pedi. Jilly, you CAN get a polish change in between.

I think Jill told Derick that if he got her chocolate milk that he could fondle her feet. I suppose I’d better start heading for the Prayer Closet.

Social media causes all kinds of problems for people. Try buying a ticket to a concert or sporting event so everyone knows where you’re sitting and that you aren’t home. You get to opt out of that, fortunately. I would never tell anyone I’m going on vacation on SM. I would, however be happy to post AFTER I’m home.

Oh, they can be deeply flawed, indeed. They’re far from perfect, but some of their virtues are indeed admirable. What they get wrong is shocking indeed. Rumspringa seems pretty darn cool, though.

I was dxed in March 2017. Holding up, so I’ll be a year soon. I’m glad to hear from another teal sister, too! I always say it’s a club I never wanted to be a member of, so it’s a great comfort to know all its members are badasses! @Marigold {{{ }}}. Your mom was a courageous teal sister!

JRod is what the British people would describe as “common as muck”. Hyacinth Bucket ( it's bouquet “) would definitely NOT be bringing out her Royal Doulton with the hand painted periwinkles for JRod.

Gillooly has more class than the Duggars. Dude brought so much shame on himself and his family, that he had to change his name if he ever wanted another job or a date. I hope these kids end up happy. They’ve been shoehorned into this arrangement.

It’s not #sanctification. It’s #sanctimonious. Fixed it for you, Dreck. I have to say that I can’t hate on Jill’s love of chocolate milk. That Promised Land is deeeeeeelish!

Amish people are humble, quiet, and clean. They do not like vanity, pridefulness, boasting, laziness, etc. Looking at you, Jessa. There’s lots of rules, but they know WHY they do what they do. Nancy, are you listening? Send the Duggettes to an Amish home. Their troweled on makeup and hours of styling their hair would drive Amish people nuts. No electricity and no mirrors.

I’m inclined to agree.

Now Selah, I could totally dig!

Not just no, but hell no! She’ll instagram another version of The Screaming Grub, sobbing his eyes out trying to get the empty bottle out of the trash! #whywontmommyshare, #wheresmine, #worstmotherever

So, how does that make him different from Boob, Mullet, or the other kidullts?

It is since marriage between first cousins is illegal in almost all states with lots of rednecks in them.

All they would need is an urchin costume and a match girl costume from the Victorian era. It would be more fashionable than what they wear.

It’s entirely possible to have a mouthful of horsey teeth without the gum ratio. Even those with no bite issues or crooked teeth can look like they could eat an apple through a fence. Many people feel self conscious about their own gummy smiles. I’m not going to ridicule someone for something they can’t help. Some people look cute with gummy smiles. Sometimes face shapes just look more severe with a lantern jaw and high cheekbones.

Lauren isn’t as pretty as Marjorie. She’s got a horsey look about her. I don’t like mocking people for things they have no control over, such as the crapshoot that is our DNA. I hope Josiah is pleased with her and she with him and they aren’t being married off due to boob and his machinations. People’s lives are not for the sport of Boob.
