I've always said the Duggars did one thing right. Their antics (and idiocy) brought a wonderful, caring, and lively group of people together on a message board. We might be scattered about in location, religion, politics, and life, but when things get tough for just one person, everyone bands together. I have grown to love this community, and I wish you all a happy, healthy, and safe 2019. For those celebrating Christmas, may your stocking be filled, your turkey completely cooked, and your cream of mushroom soup be thick and hearty. Cheers!!

Anthony Haskins. He's the resource director for the show. His kids are really cute.

Yaaay!! For Marjorie. She really dodged a bullet with her former beloved. JillR has reached a whole new level of stupid. Who refers to their child as a "modern-day person"? As opposed to what? A pilgrim? And because she has to put Jesus into every single thing, she mentions Tim's mountains pointing upward to Heaven. If a mountain didn't point up, it would be a valley. Dipshit. The thought of her teaching her children is just frightening. Once again, she's bringing down the curve for the entire country.

Chelsea just happens to be the name of the woman that Buddy would have married yesterday if he could. Perhaps she saw Twit kissing Buddy in the park and ran to Lennie for comfort?

One of them needs to up their standards. At this point, it doesn't matter which one. They are both insufferable. If she wants to know why she can't get a man, all she needs to do is watch that video. Her comment to Babs was uncalled for, rude, and disrespectful regardless of the situation. I won't be watching, but I will be reading! Oh, and regarding the flag thing, I live in Baltimore & our state flag is prominently displayed. I'm not on the up-and-up with other state flags ;)

In Tal's pic, it looks like her boobs are revolting from each other instead of being bosom buddies. As soon as I saw the LA pic, I immediately saw a floral version of the Maryland State Flag. See below. The pool does look nice.

Good grief, those children just look sick. I hope poor Sadie enjoyed that one slice of pizza and one cupcake. It will probably be the last time she has it again until her next birthday. I'm not up-to-date on the Rod kids, but the one in the black dress and white headband is a pretty little girl. Color me shocked on the Disney theme. I pictured them having Noah's Ark every year for every kid.

@kcrabtree, would you be willing to post your breakfast casserole in the small talk thread? I've gotten into the habit of making us breakfast on Sundays, but I want something other than eggs/omelets/bagels. Thank you! On topic-these two are really made for one another. No one else could put up with them. I have never seen a person who has to be glued to their significant other like Jill. I can't help but wonder if the molestation didn't occur, would we be seeing this level of cling? Does being attached to Derick make her feel safe? She could benefit from some therapy. And a divorce.

Mods--I apologize ahead of time if this is not in accordance with the rules. Everything I found is public record. I just did some in-depth searching :) Because I'm bored or my self-esteem hit an all-time low, I went digging for some records on our 2nd favorite family. The lot is only .45 of an acre. It appears that WV also has something called Personal Property Tax Records, which shows 5 vehicles. The real estate property taxes appear to be very low. Then again, WV is a poor state with a lot of issues (drugs and social services at the top of the list). I wasn't able to find anything on when the deed was transferred though. Just when I thought these parents were scraping the bottom of the barrel, Jill comes along and takes them down a peg. Someone needs to throw that ring back in her face and remind her she has 12 children to feed. I hope and pray Timothy never returns to his roots.

Well, he was kissing his sister ;)

Cacique bras are from Lane Bryant, so they're nothing special. I bought one many years ago, but I was also 60+ pounds heavier than I am now. It fit fine, and it was a pretty color, but they're not the holy grail of bras. If someone is going through one bra a month, they're using it for much more than boob slinging. That airport pic of her is just ridiculous. She looks like a toddler throwing a tantrum after not getting the 145789 thing he demanded. (My sincere apologies to toddlers who have legit tantrums). Tal just doesn't look well. A lot can be attributed to the long flights, but this isn't the first pic where he just looks "off". I hope it's jetlag and he's not ill.

I totally agree with you, especially with the second paragraph. Yes, dating gives you a chance to know another person, but it also gives you a chance to learn about yourself. You learn what you want out of a relationship, how you want to be treated, how you want to be loved. Their whole "dating with a purpose" bullshit drives me crazy. They just want to rush the timeline because they have to get more passengers on the 'procreate-for-Jesus' train. Screw their happiness, their emotional wellbeing, and lives. But don't forget to screw each other. There are babies to be made! Mr. Six hates when I refer to the Golden Girls, but there's a message this whole family can use. Dorothy's old prom date shows up in Miami, and they agree to see one another again. She was led to believe he stood her up. Turns out, he did show up, but Sophia sent him away because of how he was dressed and his attitude. Sofia couldn't understand why Dorothy was so upset since it happened 50 years prior. Paraphrasing here, Dorothy said because Sofia took her choice away, she ended up pregnant & married to Stan. JB & M are taking away their own children's choices from the moment their born. Those kids are apparently not that deserving. We'll overlook the fact that they got the short end of the stick with Ma and Pa. I try very hard to not judge parents since I don't have kids, but I will judge these two until the end of time. And on topic--I got to see the wedding episode, and they seem like a great match. They are very relaxed with one another, and based on that kiss, that was not the first time. Woot!

Oops. That was meant to be sarcastic. The only thing that we know for 100% certainty that came from Pickles is the Duggars like Vlasic products and (I'm guessing here) Aquanet hairspray. Hey, she was bound to get one or two right.

When you live in a sheltered bubble, ala the Duggars, Mississippi is overseas. Word on Jill's Insta is one of the leghumpers is actually Josh. Personally, I don't think he/she is Josh. The "voice" doesn't match enough, but there are adamant posters to the contrary. We need a confirm/deny from Pickles.

It could be the tiredness of the holiday and holiday travel (UGH!), but isn't Derick sitting in the passenger seat in the upright dead person pic? The church pic is just creepy. He's looking deranged, and Jill looks like a Stepford wife. I'm a little surprised Izzy was included in the actual pic, and she had to point out that they didn't forget their favorite Sam.

Jill is single-handedly going to save Campbell's Soup from ruin. Yaaay!!

Abbie's mom is beautiful! She chose an appropriate dress as mother-of-the-bride. Michelle appeared to have taken the correct dosage of her meds that morning and looked nice. The expression on Jana's face when the parents walked down the aisle was priceless. She was over the entire thing within the first 5 minutes. It takes a special person to work with the elderly and in nursing homes. God bless her for doing it!

I made this casserole for dinner tonight. I rarely measure ingredients when I cook, but I did measure the heavy cream and chicken broth for this. It was quite involved and made a ton. Is it easier than Jill's glop dumped on a plate? No. Was it healthier and tastier? Yes. It could be tailored to suit a variety of needs-lower sodium broth or brown rice, for example. I have a fairly large Pinterest page for main dishes. We refer to it as guinea pig Sunday. It gives us something different to try, and I always keep a wide range of prep/cook time so I'm not wasting my day in the kitchen. I meal plan each week, generally on Friday afternoon, and I shop for groceries on Saturday. I don't necessarily match each meal to a specific day, but I run less of a chance of missing an item from planning. Jill has more than enough time in one day to plan and shop for needed items. It's just the two of us, but I try to make Sunday's meal one that will generate lunches for Mr. Six. It's not hard or time intensive. It just takes a little thought & perusing your stock. My house may be messy, but I'll be damned if I have family drive 300 miles over 4 hours and serve them a shitty dinner from a Campbell's can. You come to our house and I will feed you. You won't leave hungry, and you'll get leftovers if you ask. Get with the program Muffin. ETA-asking they be moved to a different table is crazy. There's reasoning to that little seating chart at the host/ess desk. The only time we sit together is when our parents are in town. I need room to move, a space to put my purse (I loathe putting it on the back of a chair), and on occasion, space to cut whatever I'm eating. Maybe one of them has to cut up the other's food? You know, as you do for a child, or in this case, spouse. If they start feeding each other, I'm done.

I do. We're on the northeast side of the Beltway in the county but less than 2 miles from the city line. Mr. Six works less than 10 minutes from BWI. It's a small world! Happy Sunday neighbor!

Mr. Six & I were out and about today, and we were working our way home on I95 in Baltimore. There was a white van in front of us with a sign that read "caution: crazy clown driving". Turned out, this was a traveling clown. We were so hoping he was dressed up, so I maybe went a little too fast to catch up. As soon as we went by, Mr. Six said he wasn't dressed up, but he was convinced it was Alan Rickman back from the dead. Cristina-this is going to sound stalkerish, but since you're the one doing it (as opposed to him), it's totally legit & normal. You can try to do a reverse image search on Google with the pic he sent. If he has it on social media, it might pop up for you to get more information about him. It's the same tactic that people have used to call out Jilly Muffin on her "family" recipes ;)

In Twit's case, it's not that her thighs grew larger than her head, it's her head circumference did not catch up to equal her thighs. She has an excuse now. I am so pissed at myself for liking her in the beginning.

If you click on the link with Olivia's Instagram pics, the 8th one has Chad & Erin (along with a very unhappy baby). JD & Abbie look genuinely happy in their photos. I love the kiss on the forehead. Mr. Six does that, and our photographer happened to get a shot while we were at the altar after the ceremony. It was done in black & white and is my favorite one of the whole day. Jessa & Anna could use some of Jeremy's perceived fashion sense. Anna looks like she's ready to go skiing in a skirt, and Jessa looks like she raided Mr. Roger's closet. They have kids, they're tired, I get it. But, it's a wedding for crying out loud.

Completely random thoughts-- Aside from the hair, Jill could pass for a normal 20-something woman in the first pic. I feel like Dreck's teeth are doing the cha-cha slide~to the left, to the right... That organization's Twitter handle is awful. All I can see is 'get tit at sams'. I made Mr. Six promise me to never buy brown dress shoes. Black suit? Black shoes. Jill's hashtags in her pupusas post make no sense. They are clickable and will show the top posts. She has the only post for the first one, the second has 10 (including hers), the third has millions, and the fourth only shows hers. As long as you put the # first, you can turn anything into a hashtag. They're just supposed to make sense. Ah-ha. That's the whole problem. ETA--the Fanta label shows it's made in Mexico, so it has real sugar in it as opposed to the HFCS that's added to soda in the US. If you can get your hands on it, it's actually quite good and tastes a great deal different. The Pepsi, in particular, is great.

My heart is breaking for those affected by the wildfires. This is one of those situations where you just don't have the right words to say. I hope those of you in the area remain safe, and please know there are people pulling for you! The mother/daughter show on Friday was one giant cluster that you couldn't help but watch. The fact that the mom couldn't see how much they were alike made me laugh. People would tell me that in regards to my dad growing up, and I would always argue and say no way. After getting married and moving out of my parent's home, I saw it immediately! I felt like the universe reached out and smacked me on the forehead. But, in a small defense of the daughter, her mother would make me drink too.

Was she a music teacher? She sounds exactly like my chorus sub from the mid-90s. We were all seated in the auditorium waiting for her, and this woman walks in looking like an NYC hooker. Everyone went silent. Her winged eyeliner went about 1/2" from the far edge of her eyebrow, and she loved her blue & pink eyeshadow. She was a permanent sub, and every day was like Christmas morning. We never knew what we were going to get. Kendra & Nurie are roughly 8 1/2 months apart in age, but Nurie looks like her mother in that photo. That poor girl has no chance. Of anything. On topic-Abbie looked beautiful, and JD looks peaceful & happy. It seems like, for the first time, he can just breathe and be himself. I think these two will go the distance.
