RoxiP

I can write and read cursive and drive a stick shift. I'm a dinosaur.

All of my family names start with an "R" - we used to laugh because my dad would call every name before he got to the person he wanted to address!

I don't disagree with you - I was just thinking in the future at the birth of grandchildren, weddings, etc., there is the possibility of them being forced to be in the same room. For the sake of their children it is far better if they are civil and pleasant (although at this time I'm pretty sure the majority of the children have written off Kody). If it is just Christine then I might hold Kody down while she slaps him around for a while. (I'm really not that violent, I promise you.)

I thought all the girls looked lovely at the wedding (not sure if I watched the wedding special) and that Janelle absolutely looked beautiful - I've never seen her fully and professionally made up and it was working for her. I also liked that Paedon walked her down as far as her poor frail father and that they both told her what a good man David was. I agree - why would Kody and Robyn expect to get invited to Christine's wedding? If in the future they are able to attend gatherings together it would be great but a wedding is not the appropriate venue (and good remark about Robyn's ex attending her wedding to Kody). And that chain saw scene - I am so cautious when I use a chain saw - I can't imagine hammering on one stuck in a tree, running or not! I also liked that Truely is obviously happy with David and that her hair matched her dress.

I agree. You have your own space and yet you are close enough for visits with the little humans. Plus if the husband doctor works night shift it will be a quiet place for him to sleep during the day.

I just find the price tag on this one a little high, even with the issues. It's not like they had to purchase the land the shed was built on. I did like the finished project, although did they say they only put a standard size bed in it? I'm single and I always want at least a queen. I mean - where is the cat going to sleep? My other nitpicking issue was that (in my opinion) the refrigerator door opened the wrong way. If I was looking at it correctly you would have to walk around the door (and in that narrow kitchen that would kind of be an issue) to get anything from the fridge.

If I lived in a house and it had a garage you can bet I would be parking my car in it. My last years in my brick and mortar home my daughter had filled my garage with junk from when she would home every May from college and I couldn't get my car in. When preparing the house for selling all of that stuff went into either a garage sale, a give-a-way or the 30 foot dumpster that was delivered...and my car went back in the garage. Dang I miss having a garage.

Oh I like this!

Meri's malicious compliance kind of tickled me. I think in Kody's delusional brain he thought he would be getting the shirts back...instead he is getting a square. I'm kind of that mindset myself - if I have an ex I return every single bit of property that I can - kind of wiping their existence out of my life. If she had burned the shirts that would have given Kody more ammunition to use against her in his rants. Instead she calmly is just sending them back. What cracks me up is his assumption that his other wives would have wanted them at some point. I would love to hear from Christine and Janelle whether it even crossed their minds.

Love the little girl with the red hair and freckles! I also have a soft spot for the little cowboy from Stephenville - my daughter went to college at Tarleton in Stephenville which is the #1 rodeo college (my daughter did not rodeo...LOL) in the US, so he honestly probably does dress like that on a routine basis. I don't mind Kardea but she's judged several shows recently so I've grown accustomed to her - and to me this show is toned down Kardea. I also liked Valerie so I was sorry to see her go.

Y'all are all discussing these deep topics and all I can take from this episode is that they have to walk down that long, sloping walkway to get to their cars...I would be so annoyed! Plus wouldn't that be rather dangerous in the winter?

When I used to do a lot of bike riding the joke was the helmet was simply so you could have an open casket funeral. Morbid but true.

If you haven't taught in an underserved community I wouldn't pass judgment. I see my daughter teach in a school that serves a population similar to Laurel - education is just another political football to those in power. I think there must be more than the two teachers. I actually didn't get the impression that Dr. Cooley actually taught, plus they mentioned there were 4 more classrooms upstairs. I feel like this is more of a homeschooling type of situation only the home is this academy. This is not unusual - there is a community homeschool in my home town that actually meets in my church - different parents teach individual subjects and the children seem to thrive. Besides, the school has grown from 4 to 102 in what - four years - at least they are trying to make a difference.

She looked great then and she looks great now - just a lot more polished. I wish her well - she was one of my favorites. I like how she always quietly got down to business with each challenge and didn't let anything freak her out.

Yes to all of the above! I realize I'm getting old (66) but the degradation of our use of language is sad. I work in a field where words are important (assistant to attorneys) and even some of our attorneys no longer have proper word usage.

I also remember Carol working in a market.

Two women who are in my age range (mid-60s) from my church got married to some really great guys this year, so I do not think all men in church are con men. If you are interested in marrying and being "equally yoked" then if you were raised in church you need to go to church (or a Christian-based college or at the very least get involved in Christian organizations at school) in order to find a like-minded partner). I imagine, for Robyn's daughters, having been raised in a church where you had to hide from society because of the stigma associated with your denomination, being in a church where people are openly and joyfully worshipping must have been a meaningful experience. I have been brought to tears myself in a particularly moving service. I think Meri now realizes that she was played. Thank goodness for that realization.

I loved that they invested their money into the planting beds and greenhouse. They were lovely (and I'm also happy they showed the final scene that was several months later when the garden had grown in). The kitchen was designed to match the (slightly) over the top personality of the homeowner wife and was really cute and also must have passed inspection as a home-based cottage industry kitchen since they mentioned it several times. Nice kickoff to a new season (and thank goodness - one can only watch Great British Bakeoff and Maine Cabin Masters reruns so many times!).

The docu-series was fascinating and a scary look into someone absolutely obsessed with getting her own way. However I felt like it was unfinished.

it's all about the sniff...LOL!

I still sometimes do that - as a legal secretary grammar is very important to me (not to mention my mom was a schoolteacher) but there are times that I have to literally think out the sentence in my head...and I still haven't quite gotten down affect/effect. Recently I've noticed an uptick in the use of "a" in front of a vowel...a apple, a upset stomach - it drives me crazy! (My mother also disliked the word ain't and we were not allowed to use it at all!)

I thought Elizabeth and Juan's finale piece was a better representation of the Great Hall but I agree - it was too narrow. Zoe and Jordan's piece seemed a bit more spectacular but it didn't really read Great Hall to me, but both pieces were definitely finale worthy. I also agree that the dragon was clunky but so was the snow on the other piece.

I think Kody is such a megalomaniac that he decided that he WAS the church and that the only person whom all of his wives and children needed to learn theology from was him. That way he could twist it to meet his own requirements and for some reason he forgot that his children were becoming adults and had minds of their own (and then ultimately so did their mothers). The only cult I see in Flagstaff has flowing blonde ringlets hiding his quickly receding hairline.

Christine doesn't bother me lately - yes she is over the top and yes her taste in clothes is questionable but I wish her the best and truly hope she is happy. Meri has the most personality of all the wives these days - more Meri! And how did she make all these great friends? (Speaking of which Janelle was almost non-existent these days except for her use of the stain pen. I did like seeing her children and Christine's children together and how well that relate among themselves and their mothers.) If Robyn wasn't such a manipulative person I could almost feel sorry for her. I agree - eggshells - no wonder the daughters always look stressed. If Robyn left Kody I think he would be dangerous.

Apparently the new season starts December 30. Really looking forward to seeing what they are up to this time!
