Micks Picks

My BFF since high school and I both enjoyed jewelry and owned and wore some very nice rings and bracelets, earrings and necklaces. It has all been stolen from both of us. I just replaced a topaz ring that I found in a pawn shop, but it isn't really a replacement, I'd love to buy my own stuff back My friend feels the same about hers. Fake diamonds would be my new gem of choice, they are not super cheap but look great. I did not have my diamond tennis bracelet stolen so that's one for me. Hey thieves, don't bother, leave me with something for god's sake. I really would buy back my stolen stuff if I could find it, and I know a great deal of it did not end up with a Cash for Gold melting. Cash for Gold may have bought it, but they would have resold it since the value was obvious. But from now on, fake for me.

When you dig deep into the Dillards, you find....nothing. We just get treated to Dill's bible quotes full of damnation, no get up and go, no ideas about the way people live, no compare and contrast, nothing. His wife is a conversation non-starter who doesn't even seem know her own kid very well. Boob ran for and won an elected office before he ran and lost, and Boob bought houses and industrial buildings and rehabbed them and rented them out. He had a used car business. He actually could support the family, although he chose not to since he funded his own failed campaign. Dullards just can't cut it, no way, no how.

I am afraid that the Dillards may surpass the Duggars as soul killers.

Dilllpickle is a cat abuser. Must be some something to do with the name.

Toe and Spur, cute. They won't get teased because they will never be around other kids. They deserve ridicule because they allowed themselves to be born into this family. They should have told the stork, hell to the no, I won't go.

@my people are Nordic don't know why this post is screwed up but just wanted to reply to your post. That's downright advocating incest, and I just don't see it any other way. What a creep, worthy of jail.

@Arwen you know my eyes are shit so I read your post and saw h......tosis and on the next line res..... so I thought what the hell, she had halitosis and had to be resuscitated????? Nah, got out the magnifier, ok, gotcha. Be better soon, and watch the bad breath. Jynan, happy birthday. We can't control the days our parents have problems, and be assured they would rather be well and younger. We will all be there some day too. Things not good in my hood. Neighbor just had major emergency surgery, sis still not doing at all well after her surgery on the 23rd. Well, as soon as she is better she'll have her snooty superior attitude back, so there is that some blessing now for me.

Pretty much guys only, here. They must be shooting the shit about guy things while the women folk are talking pregnancy in the kitchen. I remember those groupings. I'd hang with the guys or go outside and be mercifully alone.

I spend zero time thinking about food, but looking at that mess I know, without doubt, I'd be puking up all that starch in a minute.

Poor pup. But such a good dog to sit there and let him/herself be used. Mine just won't sit still. You have a very good dog there.

Thanks so much, I needed that kiss!

My eyes are no better, I go to the vascular surgeon on Jan 5 to see about abdominal aortic aneurism (s) my back is still miserable, never got my teeth attended to, didn't see dermatologist this year, and my sister had surgery today for cancer in endometrium. Took out everything from what little I understand. Appreciate the Polish traditions. I have Polish heritage and don't know much. Ah well, so it goes.

From what I can gather, it's only $595 per family of 5 with kid under 4 for free. The dinning hall holds 200. That's only 3 or 4 days per retreat so seems very cheap. If horses, paddle boats, food are included it's a steal. No wonder they don't provide linens. It would cost a lot more to patronize the mission cations when yu factor in transportation per person. They all have to go to each others rip offs to keep each other afloat. All JB has to sell are cars. Or renting warehouse space. Seating space for 200 after a wedding would be a big Dugger deal. They usually just have seatless parking lots except for the lucky ones invited to TTH afterwards, creating a class system for guests. That would piss me off, but I'm not fundy.

Sew Sumi unfortunately I know yu are right. If the ultrasound showed the most awful of outcomes, the baby with half a brain, the ones who are unlucky enough to be alive when born, and who are said to scream all the time because they are in pain, yes even with that awful of an outcome, they would continue with the pregnancy.. As A-hole Dill's posts show, it's mom's body, and baby body, two separate entities. After all, it isn't Jill that would be in continual pain and scream and suffer, so they could beg for donations for the poor child. I don't think there is any real empathy there among the bunch of them

I wonder about pee stick announcements. Back when you had to go to the doctor to get confirmation, you at least had a less chance of knowing about these very early miscarriages. So what happens if in a couple of weeks she takes another pee test just to feel the thrill again, and poof, no pregnancy. Gone the way of J Caleb, no ammo box, no funeral.

Today was the first day inLONG time they were not hawking skin care products or books by his publisher son Jay. Just a snotty 13 yr old. Should have slapped her silly and sent her to the slam, imo.

@Barb23 I also have take nnarcotics for painter years and never felt any euphoria. The FDA lowered the prescription strength a couple of years ago and then made you present a script written by a doc, the original, every month. Good, another chore to drag my pain wracked body to do. And for all of that I am currently in so much pain I can't do walking, stretching, yoga to keep as loose as possible contributing to depression. I'd cry if I could. "Euphoria hell, this isn't even remotely adequate relief. I am sure I'mnot addicted. No pain, no problem. There ae plenty of studies done showing that those who need them, don't become addicted. I don't think they are strong enough anymore to have an effect.

A couple of days ago I saw on the news a clip of some lunatic preacher at a big mall in Texas. The newscast gave his name as Pastor whateverhisfirstnameis and he was trolling the line of kids to see Santa and yelling at the top of his lungs that Santa isn't real kids, don't waste your time, there is no Santa and he isn't going to get you anything. It took longer than I thought before he got up close and personal confrontation from a couple of dads. Nothing physical. As far as Jill goes, she may not be having recurring effects of being touched as a kid. That really may be the least of her myriad of problems. But that may well be the one thing she really has put down.

Didn't see much of the show today due to preemption by the news of a coaching change with the rams. News conference went on forever. So I watched, or did, something else, and came back in the last 15 min where they were leaving some poor suckers on stage to I presume do a makeover on some woman who needed confidence. Goody for her. No wonder they are begging people to write in for tickets to be in the audience. In fact, I've turned down free tickets for his show, among others, given the day of the show. They pay people to go out and beg, borrow, abduct if necessary, enough folks to fill and audience. Ellen has the opposite problem, since she so often has gifts for the audience and she is like able, people want to go. Phil's must be terrible to be an audience member. Even if they give a free sample of the Mrs McGraw skin care collection.

I still like Jennelle. She isn't at her best in home and crafty things but for years she was the best at pumping out babies for Christine to raise while she went to work and supported the whole lot of them. I also am lousy at home stuff and most crafts, except for embroidery and some other things I'd pick up from time to time and do. Also had jobs. We really never get any idea of what these folks really do, at least in any depth. Dealing with TLC is one thing, and they have LIV but we don't know how much, how often, heard nothing in years. Real estate? Doesn't seem so tThe Closet---har har har Bit Jenelle is down to only two kids now I believe. Logan, Hunter, Garrison, Maddy, all gone.

Maybe they took Derick to the airport. That gang never just drops people off at the curb.

The thing is, JimBob took him to his job with him in the state legislature and had Smuggs work on his campaign for US senator, also probably to help with the unfortunate Holt guy. Smugger may have internalized this to be kind of a reward for his bad behavior at home, rather than a way for Boob to get him away from the house so he would molest less often. He was only a kid and could easily misinterpret this as a reward. At any rate, it gave him ideas of what other power jobs were like. It contributed to his smugness. I don't think it was necessary above to describe him as a predatory White male, he was just a predatory male, we already know what color his is. Newspapers around here have not described suspects by color or race for at least 15 years.

Today he gave the advise to a dysfunctional family to buy a book about body fat, naturally promoted by one of the Doctors from the show of the same name. So you only get 30 min of what is advertised and a 30 minute informercial almost every day. Body fat is the solution for the family on today? Hah. What an insult. No excuse me, it was belly fat. not body fat. Belly fat. I'd have hauled off and smacked somebody. I don't even have belly fat, and if I was on there for any reason and my solution was a tie in to a belly fat, DOD,, or cosmetics, I'd demand payment for my part in the show. People expect a solution, not an excuse for an infomercial.

DONATE Looks like a demand, not a request.

I watched about an hour and a quarter of what I believe was a 2 hour show. I agree with the hiking, the Mere & Mariah comment, and the reasonableness of Kody this time, which shocked me. I remember Mykelty as being a warm, bubbly, kid who wanted to be in the dress design field. I could be wrong but thought dir end the stylist ytype and so seemed terribly off to me. Tony was not likable. I am so sorry for topos or what ever, but I have a medical condition causing very low sight, so do what I can. I did not see Tony as being a good fit for Mykelti. I feel bad for her. But what really bothered me was that I thought we already saw the stupid Hawaiian vacation and Maddie's wedding. You mean they are in the future and I remember them in the past. I suess when eyesight is taken away, second sight is given to you because I swear I already saw it.
