sixlets

If being a homemaker brought in an income, Jill would be owing money and not earning any. I have made her chicken/gb/potato dish twice. It's actually quite tasty IF prepared correctly, and her's is not. There should not be measurable liquid in it. Green beans are the one veggie I will not buy frozen. They have a very distinct waxy taste/texture in any dish I've tried them in, and Mr. Six is not a fan. Instead of wasting thousands to send Dreck to law school, they need to use that money to get her some therapy. The one thing (HA!) that pisses me off about this whole family is they are taught to bury their feelings ten feet under. All of the girls affected by Josh were just taught to slap a smile on their face and pretend like it didn't happen. Just once, I would love to see someone slap the shit out of JB & Michelle. Neither of them grew up the way they Jana's raised the kids. Why don't their children deserve to grow up and live they way they did?

Thank you for the updates Walnut. Mind & her daughter are in my thoughts and prayers. I have posted on some other shows, and I never felt all that welcome. These folks were welcoming from day one, and I knew I found my people. I do watch weekly just to make sure I hate these people as much I did before. It's amazing that the dislike for one family can bring people together. At that damn family did something right.

Wow, some of these posts are so relatable it's scary. Dragon-our male tuxedo has long canines as well. He has little vampire teeth that show. He's the one that just showed up outside and proceeded to walk in the house and lay on the couch. And on the name front, I know a Shyanne. Strangely enough, her brother is Dominick. I was hoping to jump in to see if there was any news about Arwen. I hadn't been posting too long before she took her break, but I enjoyed her posts. My thoughts are with her and her family.

While I don't watch regularly, Ingo is on The Bold & the Beautiful. His kids have odd names, but he is just pretty. Jill's dinners have no flavor. She's tossing 12 chicken breasts & 8 cans of beans with only 1 teaspoon of chili powder and cumin, not to mention the 12 cups of water. Why are these people so afraid of flavor? I guess anything from the "outside" of her world is scary. Then again, if I had to wake up to Derick in my bed, I would be running for the hills too.

Two children do require supervision. That's Jana's job though. Jessa's breezing through the door exasperated about how tired she is since Bin had more toilets to take care of that he originally thought, and they had a late night. There was a long line at Chik-fil-a and with the humidity, her banana curls were looking more like cucumber curls. And when it's finally time to go home, she grabs two of the M kids instead of her own. Jessa is just spent, day in and day out.

I got my Star weekly mag delivered today, and this little gem was in a spread about "celebrities" getting engaged very quickly. Apparently, it's the cool thing to do now. I blame the Duggars for all of this.

Happy to help! If you chose pickup, you just go to the restaurant that you ordered from. GH & E24 serve as the go between you and the restaurant. You can order from their websites, and they each have their own app. The one thing I have noticed is many places don't do online ordering from their website, but they will do it from GH or E24. We have tried many places that we normally wouldn't have, and their customer service is great.

Grub Hub & Eat24 just serve as a one-stop shop for takeout. You chose pickup or delivery, and then you can search for restaurants for your area. If you want something specific, you can search by that as well. When you place your order, your debit/credit card is charged through them, and you can add a tip directly on the card or do cash at the door. There is no fee, and after ordering once, they will send an email each week with a coupon code for $2 off a $15 order. It's a great way to try out new places that might be a hassle to get to. Just using a 3-mile radius for delivery, we get over 70 options. We primarily use Eat24 (they are under the same company, but they don't necessarily have the same options). Think of it as Priceline or Expedia, except it's for food.

She could save a few bucks and just use a tortilla. It's not like the kids would be allowed to eat it. I have mentioned this before, but due to health issues that cropped up 9 years ago, I was advised to not get pregnant. Not fully understanding what was happening to me, I could not knowingly (or selfishly) try to get pregnant. I have very few answers as to what exactly is wrong, even now. It is something I struggle with every single day. I know there are women who know their dream is to have kids. And I know women who have decided kids are not for them. I was never given that choice. It was taken from me, randomly, in the summer of 2009. I want to smack Jill every single time I see her damn smug face. She pisses me off something fierce. For whatever reason, she decided to procreate with that asshole 13 times, and she treats those children like they are less than a flea on their poor abused dog. And Jill, if you happen to read here, you suck. As Kid Rock once said, "you get what you put in, and people get what they deserve". I hope karma is handed to you on a silver platter.

I know diddly about photography, but it almost looks like Josh has been photoshopped into the above pic. We know Josh had a penchant for his little sisters (and the unknown little girl). We've seen J&D having lunch/dinner with Josh & Anna, but I wonder how Jessa & Joy feel about him being around the boys. I will have so much respect for Jeremy if he stands up to Josh and tells him he will have no unsupervised contact/visits with Felicity. Meredith has become my favorite M kid. She's so stinking cute.

I needed 2 iron infusions roughly 7 months apart. My first was last September and second was earlier this year. If the first one didn't work, I was headed for a blood transfusion. I am now very acquainted with a hematology office in my area. On topic--it wouldn't surprise me if a few of them were anemic. Of course with this family, they would never know unless they in the ER or hospital. Joy doesn't seem like she even knows if she's happy or not. It's like she's just going through the motions of life...or what she was told her life was supposed to be.

Eureka-thanks so much for the link. It was a very interesting read. I am fascinated with rare illnesses and the heredity that is at play. I've always liked Angel, and he seems like such a great guy. His grandparents should be proud of the job they have done in regards to raising him.

I'm still an episode behind, but I loved hearing more about Angel and his background. I thought I heard his grandmother say what type of disability he has, but I didn't catch the whole name. Christina seems very sweet, but she also very controlling (at least on camera). I do wish them the best for a happy future. I'm waiting for the producers to add a tagline to the show. 'Born This Way: The Megan Show'. I can only handle her in small doses at this point. I would love a standing date each week to grab a Starbucks with Rachel. She is such a breath of fresh air. Her saying she was helping her dad get over his fear of roller coasters was just too much. Frank is an amazing young man, and I would love to see more of him. I'm already going to hell from posts on the Duggar forum, so we'll just add this to my list of offenses. Bring Frank in for the show and ixnay Sean. His womanizing ways are not cute and will land him in some big trouble he won't be able to get out of. It's just a matter of time.

I totally read this as 'one breeder in the congregation! But, as long as JillR is around, they have that job counted too.

Never thought I would say this, but I will give Jill credit for one thing regarding the boys. It seems they drop them off with Cathy instead of dumping them at the TTH. At the very least, they are getting some one-on-one time with a grandparent who knows their name and maybe an interest or two. It also gives Jana two less humans to be responsible for. I am a huge fan of the Target Beauty Boxes. They are only $7/each, and there's free shipping (tax is added). I have a RedCard, so my final total is $7.05. They have great goodies, and many of them are full-size products. I will also hang my head and shamelessly admit that I would love to try FFF, but if I did it, it wouldn't be taking food off our very small table for two. We will probably never know the true reason why her post disappeared, but I think Jill just learned that one can be guilty just by association. With her liking Derick's Tweets and him being the #totally #besthubbyever, she's aligning herself with him. She could support him but keep a public distance. She's just giving people more ammo and it's not turning out well for her.

Aww, Muffin found an age-appropriate book where she can learn all the things about sex that she doesn't already know. As Dorothy said, "possum is brain food". And reading is fundamental! Derick will get one pass from me on one thing, and that is losing his dad. You can never prepare yourself for losing a parent, and I think he sort of lost part of himself when his dad passed away. In his case, it just took a little while for it to show. Next week is not going to be kind to Jill. My hope is she can at least keep her shit together.

Did anyone else watch last night's episode? Lorin really surprised me but in a good way. I think he has a good chance of making it on the outside, and I hope he's able to live his new life in peace. I also liked the new security guy. They all seem to care about the girls and their safety. I'm wondering if they're former police officers. Next week is the season finale, and from previews, it looks like a woman could be in danger.

I haven't been able to post about Dreck going to law school when my brain won't let it sink in. I refuse to accept it, just like how his professors will not accept his shitty behavior. I hope his first case involves a gay couple who have a transgender teen, and they need to purchase a cake for the teen's graduation...and he has to argue in favor of them. I think his fellow peers will fall into 3 categories: 1. They are infatuated with him being a star and want to talk about his time on teevee. 2. They will find him utterly repulsive and snub him for the entire first semester. 3. They really just don't give two hoots about him. He's expecting the first, the seconds will be told to find Jesus, and the third group will be hounded until they fall in love with him & his way of thinking. If the shower curtain scared the bejeebers out of her, imagine what being alone for more than 6 hours will do to her. I can almost hear Jill falling apart during his first day of classes.

If those two were my birthday present, I'd ask for a refund. It looks like Michelle took JB shopping with her at Bon Worth. His hand on her arm is just showing that she belongs to him. It's disgusting. I felt sorry for Anna in the beginning. She had no idea what she was getting into, and her parents just let her walk right into the fire. She is choosing to stay in that marriage and thought a baby would be the cure-all. I have no sympathy for her now. Dragon, I'm dying at the milk!

The Duggar's JTTH sounds like a bad push for a timeshare or a MLM company. They want $375 if you decide (or are forced) to go again. These idiots won't spend money on healthcare for expecting moms, but they will shill out hundreds to let someone "find themselves". I can do that at Starbucks with an iPad and get about the same out of it. While exploring, I did find another Journey. This one actually sounds interesting. Good ole Ernesto sounds like fun. Derick could learn something from him. He uses musical therapy and something called Trance Dance! Oh, and by golly, he's actually licensed. Two thumbs up for Ernesto!!

I didn't mean that to be she's not special in her own way or has no redeeming qualities. I just perceive it to be the way she was thought of by her parents. Aside from Jana kicking Michelle in the ribs in utero (which was deserved), I think Jessa was the one who tested the boundaries with authority. It's sad to know how she paid for that too. Do we know if she did JTTH? I can see JB & M sitting around after hey-hey-hey trying to figure out how to get Jessa into ALERT. She seems very confident around her family, and to an extent, the cameras & crew. Toss her into something unknown, and you could see her start to panic a bit. I can't hold that against anyone-kid or adult, Duggar or not. Public speaking can be an anxiety-inducing thing to tackle. Some folks thrive and others want to run out the door like the roadrunner. If I had to listen to Michelle's voice all day, I would pretend to be deaf too.

I can totally see how Jessa could come across as cold. But, I can also see where it stems from. Instead of being a child, a daughter, she's a number. Josh is the oldest (and most disgusting), so he gets that title. Next are Jana & JD, so they become the twins. Jill comes along, and she gets branded Boob's favorite. Then we have Jessa. And then the rest of the kids. There's nothing special about her (or her place), so she just becomes Duggar #5. With her constantly bringing up how long they've been married could be two-fold. She could see it as something to brag about, or she could reconciling the idea in her own head. When you're on the younger side, it can take some time before it sinks in. I will turn 39 later in the year. Two days after my birthday, we celebrate our 16th anniversary. This past March marked 22 years of being together. When people find out about our situation, they get a look of confusion and most will ask how old we are. I think she has to remind herself that this is her real life=married for 3 years (at the time of filming) and being a mother to two young sons. Would I want to be her best friend-hell, no. Would I meet her for lunch once every 4-6 weeks, sure. Can she be a mean, condescending, and calculating bitch--absolutely. We've seen that many times. But, I fully believe that she loves Ben and her boys with every ounce of her way to long hair.

This entire family likes to show up places unannounced, so (to them), why would a trip to the ER to birth a youngin' be any different? If they keep this up, one of them is not going to have a successful ending. And it has nothing to do with Jesus or praying. It will be based on science and statistics, neither of which the Duggs understand or accept. Medical professionals have stepped in time and again to save baby and mom, but not every baby and/or mom can be saved. I still do not trust Austin. He has shown us time and time again he has the personality of a flea (my sincere apologies to fleas). He shows very little genuine emotion, at least on camera. I have a sneaking suspicion his anger comes out a hell of a lot easier. I think Joy & Austin will be the couple that follows the Pearls the most. He kinda seems like he has the attitude of children should be seen and not heard. There just seems to be some hidden anger right underneath the surface. I don't get a physically abusive vibe from him (like I do with Derick), but I do see emotional or verbal abuse as a possibility. Something that can't be seen but definitely felt by Joy.

With each new photo posted, it seems Jeremy is growing into his role as a dad. He is completely smitten with little Felicity and seems very comfortable with her. She's a beautiful little girl. I have my mom's middle name as my middle name, and it's part of my grandfather's name. She wanted to name me Sarah. I was almost Sarah Lee. My dad shot down that idea pretty quick. He ended up naming me, and while my first name is not made up or wacky, it's not common. I've only met one other woman with it in my life with it. It flowed well with my maiden name, but it's a mouthful with my married name. At least I'm not walking around listening to "nobody does it like Sarah Lee".
