I’m so sorry that Amy is going through this. I truly hope she can heal. And as far as Jill goes, she is just abysmal. While her sister is fighting for her life in the hospital, Jill is in NC having a wonderful time. If I were in her shoes I would be on the first plane to West Virginia. DBD can drive the dirt buggy back to Ohio with the Rodlets. What an utter sack of monkey dung.

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but “at cost” also includes the cost of labor. It’s the total cost that a company has to produce said widget. So DBD, being the only press person there, most likely charges for his work as part of the cost of the print projects. So even though they aren’t marking up the cost of the print pieces for profit, he is more than likely making a salary on them.

In my mind, @CalicoKitty, what your uncle did IS missionary work. By nature, it’s thankless, hard as heck and takes a level of devotion and sacrifice that Jilly and DBD do not have. They may use their claim of a “higher calling” to justify their grift, but in the end that is all it is…a grift. They habitually lean on the kindness and naïveté of others to justify this delusion that they are holy missionaries sent by God himself. And everything they do is rooted in their performance. In my opinion, the Duggars had more of a ministry through their TV show than the Rods do with their Printin’ for Jaysauce print shop, the Curdled Cream Bootique and the “pay them to go away” church trips. And that’s not saying much.

Jilly and Davey would NEVER let Renee fly solo. If she doesn’t have 24/7 babysitting (even as an adult) throngs of heathen men would try and steal her purity in the middle of a packed airport. DBD is probably using this opportunity to deliver tracts to a church in Fla. I’m sure shipping is included in the price, which translates to gas money for a trip to Fla. Easy enough to drop Renee off at Nurthan’s on the way back. And this does sound a bit like a set up for Renee. Let’s see if she winds up with a man in her stocking this Christmas.

1. The first tree looked better. 2. Pasta, chicken, eggs, tomatoes, precooked sausage and lunch meat, all topped with cheese is gastroenteritis personified. 3. I wonder if Philly’s Christmas stocking will be mysteriously missing from the bunch hanging on the stairs this year? 4. I wonder what movie Davey was enjoying on the map? 5. That music video was nightmare fuel.

Sausage and kraut are delicious together. This was a staple growing up and, like others here, we ate it with potatoes or (if we were truly lucky) home made pierogies. If you don’t have time for an all-day crock pot kind of thing, slice that sausage, fry it up, and throw in the kraut. Omg delish. As far as the Curdled Cream BooTique, I am thinking along with others that these clothes are a combination of Jill’s closet and a bit of reselling from Goodwill buys and church clothing giveaways. And her markups are astronomical. The kid’s dress she squeezed Renee into originally retailed at Target for $19/$20. She was trying to sell it for $35 (if I remember correctly). Jill, if you are trying to get into the reselling game, you need to look (and advertise) many different sizes, with an eye on big names. Not a $20 Target kids dress from last year that you are trying to sell at a 75% markup. People make big money doing this, but it takes effort and time. And you need to know which pieces actually have value. None of which Jill has or is willing to give or do. So I am going to grab my popcorn and glass of wine and watch this latest scheme fall flat. Jill, if money is tight WHYYYY did you buy an expensive puppy and add to your bills? This makes no freaking sense. Going to churches for love offerings and crying poor while flaunting your expensive, seemingly pure bred dog around is counterintuitive.

T-shirts are generally androgynous. Problem #1. Can’t wear anything that a man would, but they are so dang comfy! What to do? Change the name to something feminine! Same with the sweat blouse and baseball bonnet. Performative language at its best!!!

“Left Behind: the Snuggles Rodrigues Story”

Where is the modeling? Did I miss something???

Do Jillzilla and Hunk not screen potential female mates with the same invasive dilligence they do the males?

I swear to Lord Daniel that the next video Jillzilla puts up, I’m turning into a drinking game. Drink once for “blessing”, twice for “joy”, make someone else drink for “godly”, you get the picture.

Bree’s ballgown and opera glove vibe is giving 1988 prom. Perfect, as that’s pretty much where Jillzilla’s mental and emotional growth stopped.

I have heard the story of the Oneida commune but I didn’t know about the leader. I dunno, it kind of makes sense that Jill has crazy running in her family. If someone has the spare time to look up possible lineage, I would definitely be interested in learning more.

So Ellen has her own team and downline. Wasn’t she in Jill’s downline? Does this mean Ellen jumped off the Rod wagon or is she still technically “under” Jill (shudder)? Also, Bernice is SILVER, y’all! Can we have some love for this paragon of Plexus?

So…it appears as if I’m attending a divided fundie/non-fundie wedding tomorrow. This will be interesting. There will be separate areas for the sinners drinking beer and wine and the “saved” folk remaining pure. The bar is at the farthest point possible from the “other” tent.
