Heathen

It does on driver's licenses. I remember seeing my aunt's when she moved back to South Carolina, and asking her if she changed her middle initial. I don't know about birth certificates.

Her given name was Kristy Anne. Note the grave marker. In South Carolina, when women get married, their maiden name becomes their legal middle name. Hence her middle initial is given as D. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/69057426/kristy-anne-balka#view-photo=41659984

Most epilepsy reporting is on the honor system. I doubt her license was ever revoked or restricted. Of course, I also think she was lying about the entire thing, so take that for what it's worth.

Hazel's is better than the other two. But Kelton is a weird name, and Kristy is more of a first name and a nickname, so it'll always sound awkward as a middle name.

It's a better name than I'd have expected from a mother with main-character syndrome. I thought Denver was more her style. When will his brother arrive?

She's been lying about the whole thing. As a person with epilepsy, it infuriates me that she uses her fake seizures as excuses to act like a child.

Carlin is so full of shit, she squeaks. (Thanks, Stephen King, for the phrase.) https://www.epilepsy.com/lifestyle/driving-and-transportation/laws/tennessee#:~:text=Tennessee Driver Licensing Laws,before applying for a license. "A person with epilepsy must be seizure free for a period of one year and have a favorable doctor’s recommendation before applying for a license. However, an individual whose seizures have been controlled for six months may be approved for driving privileges if the Department of Safety receives a favorable recommendation from the individual’s physician and the Medical Review Board, and the person may be required to submit to additional evaluations as the Department sees fit."

In Tennessee, it's a year after a seizure before you can be cleared to drive. I don't know if it's been that long since Carlin claimed to have a seizure. To me, this is just more evidence that she was lying all along.

That's probably very close to the truth. When somebody posted the photos of her in the hospital with that stupid curler thing in, I thought, "I bet she takes it out in time for the push photos." Talk about vain.

She really is an awful actress. I recently saw an episode of Homicide from maybe the mid- to late-1990s. She played a detective, of course, but she would have been better just playing a tree.

She's only there for the damn photo op anyway! It would be more cost-efficient to just have a Kelly cardboard cutout for the photos.

Pretty well indeed. Also for Jon Bon Jovi. I wish I'd been a fly on the wall when Travis told his parents he's moving to Tennessee to become a Bates. He's doing everything that fundie men aren't supposed to do.

According to Reddit (I know, I know), Male's actual name is Denver. It looks like someone spilled the beans, several times, and now Josie is deleting the comments. I'll personally find it LOL funny if her big reveal got spoiled again.

I take it Carlin is back to driving again. So Evan must be going back to work, right? Right?! Why are you laughing?

Apparently, Lydia had a miscarriage recently. Her due date would have been right after Jail Vacation's first birthday. Hmm -- no jobs, uncertain future, deportation coming, newborn baby = perfect time to get pregnant again! Idiots.

I would bet money, if I had any, that Gilly put heavy pressure on Katie to move back. Travis can work from anywhere, right? They can afford to move, right? More importantly, Dumb and Dumber don't want to visit New Jersey! (Unlike Florida.) This is how you get Katie and Ofkatie moving to Tennessee.

I'm really disappointed for Hailey. She isn't even old enough to remember the life she should have had (within fundie limits) as a Clark grandchild. Now she'll just be one of the herd. Katie will be pregnant by summer if she's not already.

I think Travis is too passive and PWed to set any "boundaries." Sorry, Hailey, you just became a Bates. I hope you weren't planning on getting any attention or support until you're engaged/married/delivering. And bring a set of earplugs for the few occasions when you spend time with your idiot grandparents. That time will only be for photo ops, though. Travis and Katie are stupid.

True. But I hope that at least Layla doesn't feel like girls are inherently less valued than boys. So what did they name their Golden Penis? Or is that being saved for the next moneymaker family video?

Picture it now: Kelton Jr. with toy plumbing tools and a wee Tennessee Standard shirt and hat. Sorry, Willow and Hazel, you are now officially less than.

No, just extremely carefully curated.

Here's my hope that Kelton Jr. and Rhett both turn out to be total little shits. Speaking from experience -- as a second daughter with a much younger Golden Penis half-brother -- it sucks to always be less special because of something you can't help. Josie, I hope he pees in your perfect hair.

I hate to give Carlin and Evan credit for anything, but at least they didn't forget Layla when their Golden Penis came along.

Her lower lip looks like a caricature. No way that's real.

Here come the duck-lip photos of attention hog Carlin in a swimsuit, poolside or on a pool float. With her mini-me right next to her.
