One of my friends hashtags all her photos with her boyfriend #FriendNameAndBoyfriend. An evil part of me suspects that she does that in case they break up she can hit the hashtag and delete all the pictures.

The claims against the county attorney have been dismissed completely. The city attorney had one claim dismissed but did not have the other dismissed. I'm interpreting it the same as Kokapetl that the "City" and "County" have had any claims dismissed so now it's just on the city attorney, the member of the sheriff's office, and the chief of police in Springdale at the time. If you go back to the lawsuit filed there's 7 causes of action. The 5th and 6th causes of action have been dropped. That leaves 5 causes of action and 1 is solely to do with Bauer Media. This was only a motion brought by the Springfield defendants so anything to do with Bauer Media/InTouch was not involved. There's still the motion with Bauer/InTouch and their employees that needs to go through the same process as they've filed their own motion to dismiss. It may be a while before it goes to trial, if it goes to trial at all.

She probably has a storage container full of them at this point. I refuse to believe she only has one pair.

Oh I have no doubt Ben and Jessa are still hellfire and brimstone. Jessa has made sure to overwhelm us with Seewald kiddos to try and erase those earlier social media "mistakes". I find the reversal of roles half amusing. The one couple whom everyone thought was offensive and was going to divorce decided to go down the inoffensive route and everyone is going awwww. The couple that everyone thought was inoffensive and going to do something with their lives have turned into what Benessa was when they were first let loose on social media.

Who knew that the Hell and Fire brimstone Benessa would turn into "Look at cute pictures of our children! Awwww!!!" and the mild and inoffensive Dullards would turn into Slow Motion Trainwreck.

"Buy used, save the difference" No comment on Dullard's latest escapades except he's going off the rails on a crazy train... Can we leave this train derailed?

Wasn't that a blind item? I thought someone started that rumor way before the wedding.

Personally I'm looking forward to the Duggars pulling the "They're all pregnant!!!!111!!!" picture with Kendra, Joy, and Jessa sometime next year.

They're allowed to use the radio? Sinners!

Jinger has been dressing exactly like other women do her age at the moment. She's gone from the baggy 9.95 jeans from Walmart and flowered pantsuits to what is considered "in style". I doubt Baaaaaaabe is micromanaging her clothes. If anything she's probably thrilled to finally be wearing all those clothes she's seen others wearing.

I may be giving the Duggars too much credit here but there weren't many people who spoke up about Dullard in that sense. Not many expected that Dullard would be the new boss, same as the old boss. Quite a few people, even those that pay attention to fundies. I lurked around a great deal of Duggar snark boards around the time Jill's courtship was leaked and I would hazard a guess that the vast majority of people thought Dullard was going to be Jill's savior. Of course they won't admit it now, but many thought it back then. Benessa being generally awful on Instagram and Facebook around that time really boosted Dullard's standing too. Oh how the tables have turned.

Jilly Muffin was sacrificed to the altar of the All Mighty Dollar. Dullard was sold to mainstream audiences as a college educated man who grew up in a small family with a mother who worked and wore pants. People had hopes for Jill to escape her upbringing. Newp. Every time Dullard does something stupid they try and make him palatable to a mainstream audience. Ooooh look, he has a man bun! He's just like us! Probably for the best they stay in Arkansas. I think Dullard wants a break from his clingy wife and can pawn her off on her family. Which honestly is what Jill needs.

While I suspect BAAAAAAAAAAABE has a big say in when they have kids, I think Jinger is getting some say. She grew up as the youngest of the 4 J'Slaves and had to deal with the Howlers and Lost Girls while her parents locked the bedroom door attempting for the next little J'Blessing. I don't think she thrived in the chaotic environment of the Duggar household. Here she's getting some alone time for the first time in her life and she only has Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaabe around otherwise. She must be thrilled. Why add a baby? She just discovered skinny jeans!!! Plus Josh, Jill, and Jessa were married with children already. That took a lot of pressure off Jinger and Jeremy to bear a sacrificial lamb for ratings and People magazine spreads. Now with Joy married and Joe getting pretty close, the focus is going to shift off Jinger's uterus and onto Joy's and Kendra's. I'm betting Joy and Kendra will be pregnant by the end of the year, along with Blessa (who will not be outdone).

The Seewalds were too eager to shout from the rooftops that their son had bagged the "hot" Duggar daughter. JB would have likely ended the courtship quietly otherwise. Ben ended up stuck in the situation. He could have been doing other things with his 20s rather than being responsible to impregnate his wife as often as possible to keep the Duggar money machine rolling. It looks like the Seewalds loosened up a lot. Ben's path in life could have been much different and probably more to his tastes. I'm surprised that Benessa appear to have a semi-decent partnership. I pegged them to be as miserable and mismatched as the Dullards are.

My local pharmacy still has the issue out and it was an article with pictures. Yes, the pharmacy is required to stock the magazine despite the fact they do not sell a single one. I doubt People reached out to the Dullards for more than a blurb on their website. There were just too many celebrity weddings and other things happening that all the magazines and tabloids were preparing for. So many B and C list celebrities that normally would have gotten the People cover for their weddings were pushed off to other magazines.

Joy got a spread inside the magazine but that was it. Funny enough it was the issue with Jennifer Garner on the cover about how she's "moved on" from Ben Affleck. She immediately released a statement that she did not do an interview or authorize being on the cover if I remember correctly. So not only did the Dugs not get a mention on the People cover, they lost out to a story made up by People magazine. Joy's engagement got the cover of US Weekly. I fully expect that Joe and Kendra's wedding won't even merit a People spread. They'll have to sell to US Weekly, if US Weekly will even take them. I'm not even sure what other celebrity magazines they can go to.

The Dugs are of no interest to People magazine any more. Joy and Austin didn't even get a mention on the cover of People when they got married. I think they're holding out for the next season of Counting On.

Kid has already gotten a better education than his Howler uncles and Lost Girls aunts combined just by getting that toy.

Jessa would be dragging Ben by his ear to the nearest airport to fly out on standby had Ben attempted to put her through what Dullard is putting Jilly Muffin through.

I'm not sure the Duggars would approve of Vance, the backup dancer.

I thought the Duggars went to Israel already. Some of that has to be financed by Austin. There's no way TLC would want to show Joy Takes Israel Part II.

"Are you pregnant yet?" *hands over one of Michelle's pee sticks* "No" "Are you pregnant yet?" *hands over one of Michelle's pee sticks* "No" "Are you pregnant yet?" *hands over one of Michelle's pee sticks* "No"

Jinger has always come off extremely introverted to me. Normally I don't like speculating on the contents of a woman's uterus but it is the Duggars so... It wouldn't surprise me if Jinger and Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabe are putting off having children because Jinger is enjoying peace and quiet for the first time in her life. There's also the added bonus of JB and Michelle being far away so they're not squawking for another cash cow grandchild to Jinger's face. Jill and Dullard also are a cautionary tale about jumping into the sack to make babies on the first try.
