Heathen

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.

Lawson looks like he really doesn't care all that much.

Josh is 36, not 35 -- as of yesterday. He has the same birthday as my grandmother.

The moderators on that forum have been power-tripping (and playing favorites) for quite some time. Years, even. That includes ignoring their own terms of use. I wonder what the change is now.

That's bizarre. None of the thread titles are new.

Yep, that's an MLM. I get recruiting emails from them about once a week despite repeated requests to stop. My second-to-last email response involved some profanity and still didn't stop them from sending another. They're as obnoxious as, well, god-bothering fundies like the Rodriguii.

I wonder how Heidi feels about giving birth outside a hospital environment with no drugs and no doctor. Heidi, this is your future unless your husband-to-be gets a real job with that wonderful thing known as insurance. Run while you still can.

One of the worst "financial" MLMs. Get a real job, Timmy.

Reddit has it (I know, I know) that Esther, Tiffany, and Katie are all pregnant. Plus Tori, of course.

I meant does Carlin know that RVs would give her constant content opportunities. It's always been my impression that Joy is just someone who is willing to hang out with Carlin, not a real friend. Anything about Joy herself just goes right over Carlin's head.

Nope. She'll remember the attention and decide she needs more, more, more.

That's generous. Sixth grade is more like it.

What is it about fundies and RVs and traveling full-time? Are they that desperate for anything? And does Carlin know about RVs?

So they say. But they are Bateses and fundies, and we all know that Bateses and fundies lie.

Does Lawson know about this?

Their birthdays aren't even that close! Is she that lazy and self-centered?! Those girls might be the worst off of any Bates grandkid.

The Bates family Wiki isn't a reputable source. Even if her name were Bozo T. Clown Balka, she had a kind face. I hope for her family's sake that her nature reflected that.
