Punkadoo

I was curious yesterday about Matt Brown, its like he no longer exists. What I found was shocking. Previously the gossip was about a falling out with Billy and money. Articles released last month reveal that he was actually accused of raping two women while in a drunken stupor. This happened in 2018 while they were all in LA and both women worked for the family. Both Gabe and Bear were reported to be horrified but not surprised by what he can do in a drunken stupor and the whole family has since shunned him.

Nuri had the fundie version of Princess Leia hair buns. Beyond that, her smile reached her eyes and that is all I will really remember. Maybe the fundie buns as well but it amuses me!

Jill very nicely provided a summertime litter box for the family! Now bring on those full meals!

Sorry, it looks like the bottom half of the picture was cut off. If you look a little up thread at the original post, Jessa says " the balloon may've been deflated but the spirit of adventure sure hasn't." Total Up reference.

Wait, did Jessa really just make a reference to Disneys's Up? Oh yes she did!

Inconceivable!! You never mess with a fundamentalist when death is on the line!

Correct me if I am wrong but I seem to remember something from Tori and Aud's first pregnancies. I remember Tori being uncomfortable and not loving the end of her pregnancy, trying to talk about some of her issues. Tori pretty specifically said she didn't want to hear it, didn't want the negativity to color her experience. I think there was probably ample opportunities to be better prepared. Aud just didn't want to hear anything unless it included essential oils and ass kissing.

My baby name guess: Westley. Why? He is also.......Farm Boy! Think Princess Bride.

My wedding guess is that Nuri will wear Jill's wedding dress to honor mama. Jill will be the one to get the new dress.

I guess we will have to...... wait for it.

Someone has to help them with baby names because they are so...helpless

Ok, I will enter the name game. Everything they do is dripping with self importance so I am going with Westley as a name. Think The Princess Bride. They can talk about the magic nights bonding over their mutual love of the movie and... and... what did Buttercup call Westley? Farm boy!

Wondering if someone here can help me remember. Didn't they choose Las Vegas in part because of Robin's influence? Didn't she have family in LV already? There was some connection but I can't remember what it was. I believe it was touched on here on the boards. So now they move again and it's another Cody/Robin plan. Hmmmmmmm

Cody and Christine: doesn't have the slightest clue about his kids daily lives. Does X kid know how to make Truly's lunch? Good,I have to take care of Sol. It was 3 days of Christine trying to give him the 411 on HIS children. Cody and Robin: proudly says he can basically tell you how many times a day each kid takes a shit. Robin gets to crow in front of the wives about how in her experience Cody is a fully engaged father and is in fact so involved that the Ari eats better for him, prefers him. STFU Robin, that was intentional and that was mean. I know that she is not blind to how it goes for the rest of the wives. Cody & Meri: nothing to see folks, cause there is NOTHING there. Cody and Jenelle: they probably take great naps. It has been awhile since I have disliked both Cody and Robin this much. TLC just subtly reminded us who is always in charge. Meri throws tantrums but Robin calculates and executes with a quiet smile. Christine may have appeared to be favorite for awhile but I think it's only because it suited Robin. Robin is fully confident about the move and Christine is worried about it rocking her relationship with Grody. Robin is in full control and is showing it. The dark witch rises again.

I feel like every time Meri said "by myself" there was a mental f**k you that accompanied it.

There is "always more" photos to display of themselves. I don't think they ever tire of it. I noticed the polaroids hanging from the tree. I sense a podcast coming of how they decorate the tree with snapshots of special moments

Ok, I am going to say something positive. I am so very pleased they are dressing Ms. Ember in weather appropriate clothing. that is all.

Suddenly the old Tom Hanks movie "The Burbs" comes to mind.

I think she wants the babies not the baby mama. the baby mamas take away the attention and adoration she gets from the kids. I don't see any real warm reception from Ami for any female that come on the scene.

I am a Californian, I have family in Paradise. we have two lives saved and two homes lost. Everything. Gone. None of the material items matter after the terrifying hours of no contact and learning they are trapped in a parking lot. We thank god they are alive, it was dicey for awhile. Fuck you Audrey. People are dead, displaced, sick and terrified wandering Walmart in pajamas cause that's all they have and you are dissecting if people are sincere and fervent enough in their prayers. Help, organize, don't judge prayers of which are only half the battle. Prayers yes- action essential. I am raw and emotional but to me right now ACTION is the embodiment of prayer.

Thank you! I was also confused. I can get behind a story of long nights with small children but he skipped the story and went right to the self congratulations. Jer doesn't wax poetic with his deep intellectual thoughts, he pontificates and that annoys me. I think I could stomach him more if his musings showed more than an intensely self absorbed person.

I thought the same but the feet are the giveaway. Maybe it's that there is an actual real smile on his face? Whatever the case, I thought at first it was a woman!

I'm wondering if a preference for Jackson has something to do with the fact that it's just easier and more normal to be with him. I remember when Audrey was near to giving birth and there was a big talk about boundaries. It seemed to be pointed more at Amy but I doubt it was only about Amy. I can imagine a conversation with Zack more along the lines of Hey Dad, let's go to the air show and have some fun. I cannot imagine it would be so simple with Jeremy. P.s. RAP541, your posts are always among my favorite to read. How can a nice, straight forward snark make me so happy? But you also make me think and I appreciate that as well.

I feel like Jessa is overcompensating for the lack of chemistry and at the same time giving Kendra a big F you. When Jessa was gushing about the wedding It suddenly struck me that she really doesn't like Kendra too much.
