Gone where? Back to Florida? The speciality light/toilet store?

Speaking of steps , homes and walking issues - there was a show on TLC called Little Family- mom, dad , son and twin daughters all little who lived in Annapolis. They lived in a townhouse as renters but the had a whole flight of step to get to the main floor. another flight to get to the bedroom floor.

True. by rid of-I meant redesigning in some kind of way to not have steps but still elevate the space needed which I guess is for the basement or crawl space. Thinking way out of the box- put in one of those walking movable ramps like at the airport in b/w terminal

I actually google that today trying to find an answer. Yes, she is a fully fledged Johns Hopkins educated MD with a lucrative specialty, but I would also think she has some pretty big loans to pay back. It just seemed like the Houston house was just more believable and suited them - nice decent size house, wonderful amenities, in a regular neighborhood. Here is an old article with a figure ( link ) : "A 2011 special issue of "Modern Healthcare" collected and analyzed 16 of the medical world's leading salary surveys, looking for trends and compensation benchmarks. Ten of the 16 surveys reported salaries for neonatologists, with averages ranging from $160,000 per year to as much as $480,000 per year. Aside from these highest and lowest figures, most other surveys fell into either the $225,000 to $250,000 range, or another cluster at $290,000 to $310,000 per year. " Agree. Bill & Jen are in their 40s with mobility issues - lets see how they like travel from point A to B in the same house 10 yrs from now - if they stay there long enough. Is this the same house that one had to walk up stairs from the front door to the main foyer area? they were discussing w/ the contractor that they were going to add more stairs to make each step shorter for them. I was like whaaatt? why not just get rid of the stairs? That would have been a deal breaker for me. I think the difference is I am used to people buying the majority of the house for what "it is".. as opposed to what it "could be". The "could bes" - tend to build from scratch - builders or their custom plans. If one has to tear down a perfectly good very,very expensive house to make it what you want/need, just what exactly did you buy ? wow.. that's a long time to be fooling with a booster seat. I thought it was a height/weight/age combo thing - but I may be confusing that for when they can sit in the front seat in a car with airbags. Don't some van/suv models come with the boosters built in? found this cute flyer about florida law and child safety seats ( link )

TLC ? - the 90s girl group - Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes ?

is Halloween an mandatory annual tradition with the DCCs ? Or was it an bigger event b/c the cowboys had a bye week ? I guess if I had free time - which is very precious to a DCC - I would be too exhausted to add one more event to my calendar.

Agree.1000%. from a home reno aspect , I will pop in, but don't need to see every detail. I've said this with other kids in the show with adults (like Qunit Surprise, Outdaugtered and Kate) - when the cute little kiddies get to be school age , what exactly are we watching that is a major milestone to the next year ? I'm not too interested in watching Jen's career take off to further heights and reach her new professional milestones. I guess part of it is that I sometimes follow the Little Women of xxx-city and I wonder what if they had someone like Jen to speak to them, so they could find a career other than the entertainment industry. I will always give credit to the Jones from Quint surprise whose TLC show was cancelled, when the kiddies turned 3, by theirs and/or TLC choice. Enough was enough. Even with Duggar-gate, it really was time to focus on those who are older. At least with Kate we have gotten to driving, dating, teen dramas and close to finishing HS. Since Bill & Jen only want us to see what they want us to see, I too would prefer to catch up via blogs and do a special now & then until Will & Zoey get to high school.

did they show the Houston house reno during an earlier season ? I.m wonder in that there is only a handful of manufactures/models that will have the size specification they need/want , couldn't they choose an upgraded version of what they had - knowing what worked (or didn't) ? And with the internet - shopping for some building materials do not necessarily mean a trek to a specialty store, with kids in tow, and being bothered with a salesman.

I wonder if looking at vajayjays for damn near 20+ years for living has made her that way. I mean she has seen all kinds - big ones, small ones, short ones, tall ones, clean ones, smelly ones, hairy ones , shaved ones, pulled out babies, seen diseases ,pierced ones, sticking finger(s) in looking for lumps, did C-sects and Lord knows what else. And that's after the breast exam. She's had her babies (an heir and a spare) and well Cecil ,just may be a male casualty of her profession. { image from ( link ) }

If Toya wanted to hit someone - you would know it. Contessa must have missed the pool brawl from season one. Contessa should have kept her distance - steps away from everyone - using her hubby as her shield - I was more worried about her on the plane or just getting though lines/crowds/vehicles in general. it is really easy to get brushed accidentally. Hope she brought her pain pills with her. In reality - contract or not - she should have gotten clearance from her DR to go include going though how sensitive her breast were to the touch. I mean her kids jump on her, when she was on the bed, and she survived.

with RHOA coming back (Bravo's cash cow), and RHONJ return on the horizon, they had to find a open slot for Married. There are only a couple of shows left in the season anyway. It will probably be over by thanksgiving. How mean, rude and disrespectful, it was for Heavenly to criticize the cup size of what Contessa chose and to say men like breasts. This is why you can't tell some people everything.

Taylor, daughter of Dr. Jackie's patient stole the show for me... "her mommy ate donuts and chips" (she said it with attitude)...then the way she jiggled her mom's belly... ROFL !

new video uploaded...Halloween 2018 the comments caught my eye "Walk along with us on our Busby family Day in the Life for Halloween 2018! Purchase the Vitamins and Supplements that we stand behind: https://buzzworld.idlife.com Contact us if you are looking to earn residual income and want to be a part of our team! " so now they are into multi-marketing level ventures , where they are on the top of the $$ chain ?

I.m sure she did... Its hot in Dallas... plus they wear those dance pantyhose that hold in heat and sweat to some degree, not mention very thin ,in material and width, (if any) undies and the shorts just leave twats open for smells to come out into the atmosphere... plus they are only what inches away from each other when they do those leg lifts. Not to be mean, but if someone was on their period, some foods tend to make discharge even smellier - like fish. They are constantly stretching and doing splits - so all of that B.O. is going to come out somewhere... And let's be real - not everyone practices the same personal bathing hygiene. I just figure they get used to the "smells" - like any athlete. There was a brief scene in the last episode when Kelli was talking to the team after the game. Most had their boots off, which we have seen many dance in a couple pairs of socks, exposing their bare feet, while still in uniform. I could smell feet thought the TV.

"Hey, here’s the program. And if it’s good for 4.2 million soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines, it’s good for the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, because it’s based on their age and their gender. Everyone’s competing against an established standard. Not each other, okay?” Let me ask this : In the HS and college dance studios/teams - do they do a PFT test against some kind of standard ? Do they incorporate a cardio/sit-up/push-up session(s) where one is supposed to get faster/better as time goes along? Yes, the girls are fit and young, but to learn to run a sub 8 minute mile, does take some training on its own -esp if the desire to run , as opposed to other cardio, isn't there.

“We have a fitness culture that cannot be denied,” he said. “I know in the 70s, 80s and in the 90s, we weren’t really seen as athletes. Now, there’s no mistake about it.” Interesting comment about when K & J and others were cheerleaders... wonder how fast could they do a mile run back then ?

audition for ? I thought this was done deal - the DCC was doing for the the 1/2 time thanksgiving show..

good points. So basically, we are seeing only what Bill and Jen want to us to see in order to not compromise her professional reputation and to protect the kids privacy. hmmmm... I need that strategy to soak into my spirit for a minute....

4 quick observations - 1) why is anna , the wild one, going to a different HS than the others? I would want to keep that one close to the house as possible. Bad kids exist in every school. And did I hear the plan was to get her a car when she get her license ? 2) I saw a scene when they were in a hotel for 15? days (???) and Anna went to the front desk to get supplies for the whole family - (a) what happened to the family size of shampoo, etc. The hotel should have charged them for a gallon ziploc bag full of handouts. (b) why did the Johnstons stay that long running up a massive hotel bill - did they close on their current house weeks before the new house closed ? 3) To the oldest son - If you want to go into sports broadcasting - major in journalism or something like that. English , might be a good minor.. 4) Someone enlighten me why there is a outlet in the middle of the floor ?

agree. I don't know why they continue to post Halloween pictures. Especially of pictures of costume that are trying to emulate a real life pop culture stars. Not every event that goes on in ones life needs to be posted. Not mention how the organization will view the pictures, you'll never know if a future , current employer, a dance parent or student, outside of the cowboy realm would view the pictures.

Anyone have any inside scoop on the prep classes that I see have been going on for a month ? They are only $40 which sounds like a deal to me.. From ( link ) : '"Master Instructors and DCC Group Leaders will introduce you to the choreography and techniques taught to the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Squad." The webpage picture is from the 2017-2018? squad -

I asked about the possibility of Kate having kids from a relo perspective - ie their ages, close to grandparents/other family, etc,

what does Kate's husband do? I take it they don't have children of their own.. with both kids being school age now (ie gone most of the day except summer/school holidays)- does she also do housekeeping & cooking duties?

If that was Ashley interview from early in the season, I read into her lack of dance studio access was for financial reasons. Yeah she is from a decent sized town but if the resources aren't there to get to or pay for the class, esp. at an advanced level, then options are limited.

I really like the soundtrack for this episode...shoutout to CMT and/or DJ EJ for knowing the right lyric to play from the right song... {from Malena's exit} "Ain't got no tears left to cry So I'm pickin' it up, pickin' it up I'm lovin', I'm livin', I'm pickin' it up So I'm pickin' it up, pickin' it up'... Now what pray tell what do we do/watch on Thursday night ? I will truly miss our weekly discussions. There were many occasions in the past 13 weeks, I liked our weekly posts more than the show. I learned alot from this show this season and from all of you ! {from bus ride to ATT stadium} "I could lift you up I could show you what you want to see And take you where you want to be You could be my luck Even if the sky is falling down I know that we'll be safe and sound"
