With as many people that are in the family, none were available to hold the baby and bottle???!!!

BOILER UP!!  I'm a Purdue grad and got married on campus.  I love how they are handling all of this.  It warms my heart that they are just plain nice people.  That means everything to me.  And, we are getting an almost 99% eclipse!  What a day ♥

Did you see that Loral O'Hara, a Purdue grad astronaut, returned from the International Space Station on Saturday? There's a whole cosmic thing going on with Purdue right now! 😂

One of our kids is a Purdue grad so we have all the gear to wear.

I am cheering against preschool grand who has the only bracket left in the family and picked UConn. She picked teams by mascots based on paw patrol. So huskies, bulldogs etc. Her brothers are so miffed she beat them with this strategy 2 years in a row. 😀

My DH, sons and their wives are all Purdue grads. Oldest son is in Phoenix to cheer the team on. Enjoying every moment! Boiler Up!

There's very few folks, if any, that I could talk to for 5 hours straight. I can hang with a person or people for 5 hours straight, but not if we are doing nothing but talking and staring at each other.

I couldn't either. I'd bet there was a lot of time spent on praying.

@Salacious Kitty I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm shocked there are so many ladies there! I would've thought that everyone was on to her long ago.

I'm grateful for the RESPITE this board gives me from everyday life. I'll throw in rest, relaxation, and rapport.

Does Jill ever wonder how it is that 2 of her children have had such problems with "college"? First Tim and now Phillip. Has she changed her homeschool curriculum or just dug in that homeschool is better.

In addition to getting an angry reaction emoji, we've lost the rainbow thanks one. The emoji replacing the rainbow one is too little for me to even tell what's going on that makes it a thanks.

Using Hashtags to Signal Our Collective Journey
To aid in this journey, we’re encouraging the use of hashtags to flag content that celebrates diversity (#CelebrateDiversity), expresses concerns (#CommunityConcerns), or shares curiosities (#CommunityCuriosities). These tags will help moderators and the community identify and support posts that represent a welcoming and respectful culture, ensuring all voices are heard and valued.

 

 

So we're supposed to celebrate diversity, be kind and have all of the kumbaya feelings when talking about a family whose beliefs are diametrically opposite?

If you're looking for something new to peruse on our favorite grifters, check out Tumblr.  This one is gold with the commentary underneath some of the pics. 

OMG! this one: 

Things Jill Rodrigues loves:

1. Patting herself on the back for making The Most Holy Children in the world

2. Making lists of the reasons everyone else is not as good as her

It had me following shows I didn't follow before. I hope this is the end to the upgrades!

Maybe timster will move from Ohio someday 

Jill doesn’t like Tim but I don’t think she wants to lose control of him.

I found Hallie's video on TikTok. Heidi's Mom replied to a comment so it seems as if she's aware of the talk about Tim's family and isn't bothered. That could be awkward!

Not only was it about Jill, it was about her miscarriages, and how  traumatic Olivia’s birth was for her.  How sad that her birthday  is a means to convey how much Jill sacrificed to deliver her. 

Don't forget about her losing 60% of her blood! 🙄🙄🙄

Kiki posted a photo of her kissing Jon on the lips. We don’t need to see it Kiki. We know you have lotion time.

Who is Kiki?

My eyes! Why isn't she wearing a mahdest, skin tight mermaid skirt and a hoodie blouse?! 😜

Seeing this picture sent me down a rabbit hole! I had no idea Heidi's sister was so much different than the fundies Jill encounters. She's got to be so afraid of what Tim is exposed to.

My girlfriend had a double mastectomy with expanders put in and was home the same evening. Thank goodness her husband was able to really care for her as she was pretty loopy.

My sister has had shoulder replacement and home the same day. I forgot if she was with her ankle replacements. (bad bones everywhere for her!)

When Jkid was panning the campground he pointed out Jim and Shelly's camper so it's possible Anna and the kids were there. Pretty careful editing to not include Josiah and family, JB, Meech in the video

Does anyone else takes pictures of their driveway to post them on SM?

I did when my son was snowblowing about 3 feet of snow. When my driveway is full of cars, I'm most likely inside offering food and drinks to the car owners!

I know I'm very late to the discussion, but the phrasing of this invite is bugging me. Why does the original say you've earned a chance for a spot? Were there too many people who qualified and not everyone got to go? Did Jill really earn a spot or just a chance at a spot?

Not only did Jill filter her face in her plexus gold school post but now she is filtering her hand/fingers as well.

Don't filter apps cost money? Again, nothing is too expensive for Jill.

Can someone remind me what he did?

Ditto!

I just checked and my library has no hard copies and 2 audiobooks. There are a total of 28 hard copies in my library's consortium.
