Is it true that mumps can render a man sterile? Boob should have caught it many moons ago, if it is true.

He reminds me of a little old man without his dentures. He does have a cute smile. It is odd that he looks tiny next to Duke, when he weighed over 10 lbs. at birth. Poor Joy, if successive babies are even bigger.

That's good to know. I tip 20% unless the service was just terrible. We only eat at a restaurant monthly, if that. The occasional pizza delivery person gets at least 5 bucks. If I can't tip, I don't order or go out.

Si has that pasted on fake smile. Knocking up Lauren several times is all his future holds. Reality is setting in, and it ain't pretty. So which baby is which? I'm guessing Giddyup is the one in stripes. He's smaller, and he weighed over 10 lbs. at birth? Wow.

Or position the watermelon piece to cover the chip? Just in case all the bowls and plates she has, are chipped. No protein, again? And the watermelon is supposed to satisfy her until morning? Sure thing, Janelle. Do any of her followers really think her "advice" is credible?

"I'm a freight train moving down the track." Track to what, James? Lisa & James: two of the most toxic people, imaginable, together. The medical personnel who have to deal with this sort of shit, have my utmost respect. I've had some crappy jobs (actually most jobs I had were awful) but nothing compared to what EMT and hospital staff have to live through, if this is any indication. This pair of grifting liars seem to think nothing of getting something for no effort or work. As others have pointed out, the sheer amount of resources these wastes-of-skin abused, could have helped the people that would have actually benefited from the help these wasters, wasted. I actually fell for Lisa's bullshit on the first episode. That smirk on her face gave her away, this time. They're in this sick game together.

This Jill R. has a real cunning way about here. She seems have an instinct to read people and know exactly what buttons to push, to guilt them into doing what she wants. I'm amazed that she can do that and not seem to feel in the least guilty about it. Poor kids, having her for a mother, and a father that knows how to grift, as well.

@Sandy W, don't forget Caleb the hairy Caveman ;) Catfish is a kinder name for Tony than FT. It fits!

And with their eleventy-billion sized families, little or no income tax, either. Boob and his control freak ways have warped those kids and had their ambitions/individuality squeezed out of them. They think society outside their nasty little circle isn't worth paying one's share for the greater good. Marjorie did well to say no to marrying Si.

I'm one who spends her calories on things that require chewing, like carrots, celery sticks, sugar snap peas, apples, etc. I eat a salad for lunch with 2-3 oz. of chicken, greens, no-cal dressing, cucumber, with an occasional hard-boiled egg. The WW version I'm familiar with considers lean protein, fruit, and most vegetables as "power foods." Protein and fiber work for me. I like to chew as it's more satisfying for me. Raw veggies are great car munchies on road trips. Janelle looks to me like she's as big as the first year of the show. She's quick to try every new fad that comes down the pike, because it's easier than doing the actual lifestyle change.

Kissing advice from one's molester? Beyond loathsome. That alone makes me amazed that not one of the sister victims broke free from that "devout Christian family." To me, it's absolute proof that toxic parents/family can and do brainwash their unfortunate victims. In my experience, my so-called "Christian" co-workers were anything but. Not only that, but they were the laziest in the building. Thank you dad, for not forcing me to go to catechism when I decided at junior high age, that church wasn't my thing. I know my mom was disappointed, because my older sister was confirmed, and I was not. I don't mean to disparage anyone who finds their place in the church or religion of their choice. I loved my mom and sister, and I hope they are in the heaven they believed in. I do think there is a God, but organized religion doesn't work for me. As always, YMMV.

Good to know. My home-town market has local produce, and I like to buy local, not only for the cost, but it has to be fresher than produce that spends days being shipped around. I also love the Farmer's Market availability here.

Ah, hell no! Who wants to put anything green or orange in there? Too healthy! The only thing I can think of that's a plus is, Venus Fly Trap Jill doesn't have her mouth wide open, and her forehead furrowed.

I'm old, and get called dear and honey a lot these days at the grocery store. I try not to take offense, since I know some people call customers hon and sweetie in general. I wish I still got an Eastern Time Zone feed for TLC. My cable did away with that some years ago, and I was pissed. Anyway, I'll join up with the pounders here at 5 pm PST, and read some of the sure-to-be juicy comments about the infamous James K. I don't mind spoilers as a rule. I'll DVR the ep like I usually do, and watch in the am.

Ah, I didn't know that. I do wonder if one has to spend more at WF overall than at another store chain, for equivalent organic food. I've never been to one. I'm a self-proclaimed coupon queen bargain shopper, but I learned to eat healthy stuff at Weight Watchers. Funny to think of fundies being in any way trendy. I mean, with their patriarchal beliefs and all. Like their dress code.

Jessa is so much more media-savvy than clueless Jill. My city has no Whole Foods, but I'm sure Jessa's heard that's where the celebs shop. Calculating is right. "Lookie lookie, I'm such a healthy eater." Hopefully Jessa has a clue about nutrition. Jill doesn't.

Funny you should mention head hair and facial hair being different. Mr. Xword was dark blond when we met, with a reddish-brown beard. Now that we're seasoned citizens, his hair is brown with a bit of salt, but his mustache & goatee are almost all white. He was actually asked once if he dyed his hair or beard (he never has.) I thought Mykelti looked pissy, too. She's an entitled brat IMO, like Mariah. I've even said it's like Mykelti is Meri's kid, not Christine's.

He can't ever manage to look good. Rumpled and sweaty is all FT can manage. Ick.

Meri wants to fatten her wallet, so when there's no more TLC cash, she is ready to split. She conned everyone into getting on board with her getting her ancestral house "back in the family." I don't put anything past her. Robyn is the same way, or she wouldn't be in the catbird seat.

Meri's a hashtag hag. I agree that her dress actually fits for once. Remember the green sprayed-on frock she came up with for that famous commitment ceremony? Cringeworthy. This wedding of Aspyn's was a copycat Brown version of Harry & Meghan's, with 10 flower girls or whatever. The hats, too. I wonder what they served instead of tacos?

Have to agree re/Mariah. Smug is what she does best. I can't stand her, or Meri either. No style = Brown clan. Very true.

You are so right! People are complicated, no mistake. I learn a lot on this forum. Like, weren't you one that posted about DevaCurl? Thank you, thank you! Sorry to wander OT. If I had had a son, and it had to be one like one of the DugBoys, I'd pick Joe.

How can that so-called mother live with herself? Those unfortunate kids.

I've been saying JoKen are the best-suited couple, from the beginning, as well as some of you. They both have always seemed happy together, and it seems very genuine. Yep, I do believe they are "the glass is half-full" optimistic people, and I too, wish that I had that personality type (sometimes.) Once in a while, being pessimistic has served me well. Overall, I envy the optimistic, and type B personalities (not that they are always hand-in-hand.) No psychologist here.

I refrained from commenting on Mitch because: I don't know anything about kilts if one has United KIngdom ancestry. Personally, I just don't like them, and I'm not a person that likes plaids much in general. JMO But I can say, his beard looks like the one Mr. Xword had in the 80's, when he worked in Alaska all summer, plus. I was very happy when he shaved it off days later. I like a goatee and a mustache, but not a full, longish beard. I do wish them the best. It can't have been easy for Aspyn to be the oldest of C & K's kids, and have to help take care of all the younger kids, like Logan did.
