Heathen

Trained as a "midwife." Fixed it for you.

I'm slightly surprised they haven't started filming their toilet usage or sex life for clicks. Please don't give them any ideas.

No, it looks like home to me. That brown thing on the side is likely a nightstand or end table.

I don't want to disparage their experience, but a four-month fetus is no more a stillbirth than Jubilee was. Jill had a second-trimester miscarriage. I wish the Dillards healing and the sense to realize that Jill's body has been through enough already. They're playing Russian roulette with each pregnancy. Three kids is plenty.

Rude awakening for Katie, coming right up. She's an idiot and deserves what she gets.

The part looks so wide because her roots are showing, so yes, spray or root powder.

She needs to get her roots done, too. Her part looks an inch wide and her hair is fried. Doesn't Kelly have TWO daughters cosmetologists?

That was as predictable as Josie's smirky lip fillers in the photo. Fire up that jealousy, Carlin.

The problem wasn't with Rhett's half-ass birthday party. The problem was that his sisters got cheated, again. If John and Ofjohn can't afford a decent party for each girl, they don't need to spend money on a first birthday party for a kid who won't even remember it. The girls, at least the three older ones, WILL remember.

Not that I ever want to defend Carlin in any way, but she does come from a family where her parents admitted that Christmas was low-key or nonexistent because they couldn't afford presents until well after the holiday (and I'm guessing those presents were purchased with a tax refund). I doubt Carlin sees anything wrong with not having birthday or Christmas presents on the actual day, because that is how she was raised. Of course, there is always the distinct possibility that she's just an idiot. Or I'm right on both counts.

They didn't WANT to do better. Girls are just girls in their cult world -- they exist to do the work and raise the next kids. Rhett got an actual party that he won't remember or care about because he's special, y'all. And now to reiterate my wish that he turns out to be a horrid little shit. "Fairy tale" as a noun is two words, not one. When it's an adjective used to describe a noun, it's hyphenated ("fairy-tale ending"). Carlin needs a fill.

Stormy Daniels, fundie edition. Except Real Stormy has brains, guts, and a work ethic, which Jill has never had and will never have. Also, did Jill run out of nail polish and decide to use Wite-Out? JHC, she looks like hammered shit. Look at how she Photoshopped the left side of her face. OMG.

There's not much space left, what with all the deep thoughts they already have. Starbucks Target Chick Fil A clicks clicks what's that smell nail color party party party Starbucks.

He looks like he smells. Even on SVU, he looks like he needs a good scrub (I am not volunteering). I always pictured Susan with some clean-cut guy with a mildly boring, non-physical job. Maybe a teacher, engineer, or lawyer.

Ironically, Morris v. Tank was one of the less awful episodes from the later years, at least that I remember. At least that episode (per my recollection) didn't consist of St. Abby's high dramatics or Sam and Gates having sex in the hospital or mysteriously reappearing flight nurses. Or brat kids setting fires.

Apparently Morris was too stoned to move!

Don't miss the part where Chuck is NOT seen on the roof when the helicopter is taking off, but somehow he was not on the chopper or in the elevator, and nobody knew where he was until he arrived in the ER with an intubated patient. Always a mystery -- maybe he was hanging off the roof by his fingertips. Also the part where Abby single-handedly saves Chuck by diagnosing a splenic laceration, intubates him, and gives him a central line, even though she is at that point either a medical student or an intern who failed her multiple-choice boards in medical school. St. Abby for the win! It's one of my favorite sucky-season episodes to snark on because it was so stupidly over the top. Just like Morris smoking weed in the ambulance bay, in plain sight, while on duty. He couldn't even go to his car?

Public pool = sluttish heathens or *GASP* people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ+ people. Not sure which a Bates would think is worse. Country club = can't afford it and country club members wouldn't accept these two attention-whoring doofuses and their feral kids

Why would he need to do a thing like that?! He's got a cash cow wife who's pregnant with what will be a cash cow baby. Lawson's living on easy street now.

Well, it's not like she's wasting time reading books or anything. Fundies live the most superficial lives.

But then he might have to deal with WOMEN! They might corrupt him since his faith and marriage are so strong!

I think Kelly and Gil put a lot of pressure on Katie to move back to Tennessee because they can't control her in New Jersey.

They may not be able to afford assisted living or a nursing home for him. Both of those are damned expensive, and Medicare does not cover it all. There may also be a waiting list for facilities that Medicare does cover.

Yes, it is. The Duggars and Bateses usually have much shorter engagements.

I wouldn't be surprised if she commutes to Nashville with him. All those country music harlots, you know. Michael(a) can watch the baby since she won't matter anymore.
