I agree. She's a nervous, compulsive talker--a dangerous trait for a traitor.

Any evidence is to the contrary. Jill sits in front with her Hunk while they're on the road. There are no book holders or a white board in the back. Other than the table, there are no surfaces for the kids to use as desks to practice writing and drawing. Maybe when the Rodlets get restless, Jill tells one of the marginally literate (if that) older daughters to "do school." One thing is clear: Jill and David are miserable excuses for parents.

It's strange. Why didn't she just put the desk against one of the long walls? Does she have to face everyone who would dare walk in? Or is it so she can look at photos of herself on the wall? And what "ever growing business [singular]" is she talking about? Is she expecting Melaleuca to make her rich, like she did Plexus? She's only been in Melaleuca a few weeks. I see more weeping in Jill's future.

The Rodlets are desperate for a childhood that doesn't involve avoiding Satan's temptations, listening to boring midnight sermons, singing in country churches for food to keep Papa fed and money to keep Mama in new clothes, and tiptoeing around Papa sleeping in his chair during the day. The swing set will be an attraction to them. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the girlies named Jill gave it a try.

If Jonathan, Nathan, and the R sons keep missing work to accommodate Jill's visits and trips, unemployment might happen. Generally, bosses like their employees to show up despite Mama's one-vacation-a-year-every-month routine that requires a staff to accompany her to make sure she has a good time sightseeing, eating out, and shopping for hoodie blouses to stuff in her closet.

And this makes me feel sorry for Kaylee. Jonathan seems like a nice guy, and he has a real job, so he's leagues above David, but Jonathan appears to lack the gumption to stand up to his in-laws' endless demands. That leaves andKaylee on her own, always struggling to win her mother's favor like Princess Nurie and Baby Janessa, but never quite getting there.

So Jill feels blessed to have Heidi as a daughter-in-law? Interesting. Heidi has stood up to Jill more than once, and Jill absolutely has to be in charge of everything and everyone. I think she's playing nice because of the baby and Tim's regular paycheck. Maybe she's hoping she can lure them back into the barndo's orbit. It would be wonderful if Jill really means her words here, but I'm skeptical. I can't see Heidi's moving away from her own family to be back in easy reach of the ever-needy, always-weeping Jill either.

Is David's first name Timothy too, or is Jill just being unclear again? This is a typical Jill birthday post. She talks about herself and makes the rest about God. At least, she sounds somewhat excited. Anyway, Timothy Rodrigues, I hope you and Heidi have a nice day and get to do something fun to celebrate like a day trip or a special dinner out--something that makes you happy.

That's marshmallow peep yellow for sure. However, the outfit is not for a holiday. It's Jill's idea of business attire! Who else but Jill would wear those tacky plastic boots for a "business night out"? I suppose it all comes down to what type of business you're dressing for.

I guess we don't know for sure yet, but I'm going to laugh if Jill thinks she's "punishing" Plexus by quitting. You're right @merylinkid. She's looking for fame and fortune but will just be falling into another exploitive MLM trap. I'm already laughing about Jill's selling cleaning products, the kind of stuff Melaleuca specializes in. Jill doesn't lift a finger to clean the Barndo and never has. I hope they have something to cure her gut problems that miracle Plexus apparently didn't fix.

Business night out with my girlies. In what kind of business would Jill's tight yellow outfit with the plastic boots be appropriate? That would be a hoot. I thought Plexus was the friendliest, most Christian, most generous, most gut-friendly company on earth. Wasn't Jill sitting on the toilet when God brought Plexus into her life? If Jill has switched companies, it was in a snit about the trip she didn't get. She spent years working up to "gold" in Plexus, and now she's starting over in another MLM? The starter kit for new sales reps costs several hundred dollars, and Melaleuca has strict sales quotas. Oh, well. Bye, bye dreams of sailing with the Plexus gemstone rank holders.

Didn't Jill recently repost that silly story about the Russians drilling a hole to the center of the earth and a microphone (on a verrrrry loooong cord) lowered into the hole caught sounds of screaming from the depths of hell? I remember Jill saying that a demon escaped from the hole. Behold the demon caught on camera!

Below Deck: Nurthan on the Ocean. Captain Nathan, chief stew Nurie, and two deck hands host a welcome dinner for the new charter guests.

Are Nurie and Nathan dressed up, or are they in some kind of costume? She's wearing gloves and sneakers. I ask this seriously since the Rod women's clothes never make sense, and the men's clothes rarely do.

Jill is her own worst enemy because she has to gloat about her vacations and possessions in a very public way. She should keep her mouth shut and her camera in the purse, but that's never going to happen. She's hopelessly immature, needy, and spoiled. I bet her sisters were thrilled when she married the Hunk and moved away.

Sure, Jill. Hanging out with Hunk at a theme park is just as good as that four-day cruise with the beaches, buffets, and the glitterati of the Plexus world. Her poor family has a long, hard task ahead of them trying to make Best Mama Ever feel better. They know the drill.

So Jill got a special trip to Epcot with lots of food. I bet her hurt feelings are better now. She's not nearly over the insult of losing the cruise, but at least she's a little better. That's all that matters in the world. Meanwhile, the Rodlets and Cinnamon get whatever Nurie and Nathan can manage.

I think you're right. She's always poor and begging for something, but the "tears and grateful for my little army for God" posts are about rage. Plexus and Satan teamed up to attack poor, hardworking Jillybean, the world's best Christian. As for rending her garments, didn't she brag about buying a new wardrobe for the cruise--bought before she had an official booking? Bring out the tiny violins, please. The smaller the better.

I took my two grown offspring out for a nice lunch today. I'm happy I can do that for them. I also gave them an education and useful life experiences, so they are gainfully employed and making their way in the world as productive adults. As for the ever-weeping Jill R., didn't she post one of those crying memos just a couple of months ago, with the same complaints about being poor and being attacked from all sides in ways no one knows about? I think the last time it was looking at Janessa that took away her tears and made her glad she was impoverished but so very blessed to have a houseful of children she doesn't bother to take care of. When I read the previous crying Jilly post, I remember it sounded similar to a even earlier crying Jilly post, for a total of at least three woe-is-me Jillies. I've lost track, but the woman seems to work from a script with slight variations each round.

That would require a SEVERELY large bowl of popcorn. The Reddit posts suggest the company is super aggressive in its pressure on members to recruit. How did Renee get involved with this? I hope she doesn't think it's going to give her an income. It's not designed to do that. The worst thing for Best Mama Ever is that it doesn't appear to give out cruises or trips to islands, things that Renee can treat Mama to. On a non-Reddit review page, one review says that the starter pack is $300, and another suggests that the monthly purchases to earn the 35 points comes to $100 plus. Trying to unmembership oneself is a nightmare too because the company just keeps sending the backup points packages as the bills add up. David shelled out $300 so Renee could sell makeup? Wow. Lazy Davy must be desperate not to work a full time job to support his family.

I looked at the website, and the non-member prices are ridiculous. It's not even clear that you can order directly since everything directs to the membership page, which doesn't say very much about being a member. I did a bit of research instead of the real work I'm supposed to be doing today. Yearly membership is $19. Members have to buy at least 35 points worth of products each month to stay in good standing with the company. If you're ill or on vacation (or living in a van while grifting at churches in Florida), the company will automatically send you a 35-point package of products so you can keep your membership. One of the membership benefits is $20 of free product each month. Interestingly, Metaleuca offers services that members can buy such as gas discounts, shopping discounts, a healthcare savings plan, a beef subscription, and an identity protection plan. Buying the plans gives points too. Metalucea is a Mormon company that emphasizes wellness and charity on its mission statement. It doesn't talk about recruiting or having a downline, but there are several Metaleuca rants on Reddit that suggest it's just another pushy recruiting-based MLM, with ordinary products and an arbitrary point system.

Janelle and Christine from Sister Wives have reached top tiers in Plexus world because they were familiar to millions of people from their years on television. Audrey Roloff, with her essential oils, is another example with a husband who essentially grew up on a reality TV program. Audrey also appears to have her own groups of friends and followers that she has cultivated. Jill's and Kaylee's bubbles are very small and overlap in may cases. They will never build a network large enough to be successful with Plexus or any other MLM. Both are gullible enough to think otherwise, however.

Well, Jill figures if you're one of those people who is going to end up in the center of the earth, you should give her all your money and have a satisfying 15 minutes on the toilet before you go.

Nathan is going to need a second job if this visit goes on much longer. MeMe Jill will require a lot of special treatment since she didn't make the cut for the cruise, and David's wallet never leaves his pocket.

If only Jill could get those matching black and green outfits from Tim and Heidi to sell at her Ivory Creamery boutique. His and Hers set for just $55 for both! Perfect for a young couple! Includes disposable bibs from Red Lobster! Smiles and modest white undershirts not included.
