Sprockets

Well, all righty then!

Yes, yes and yes. He has had a taste of showbiz and he wants more. Any ho will do. I think Chelsea just wants a ton of kids because it gives her the perfect excuse to never get a real job. I believe she sees "having Coley babies" as her destiny. She is utterly dick-whipped in fantasyland.

They may realize it, but those are the men they have to choose from. Annie may just be able to wait it out, the way David P is going. I agree with your assessment of her, and I wish her the best. Right you are. As long as they are protected from pregnancy and STDs I'm all for it.

She can just snort it off the carpet, like Cate does. It's called "Baltierra vacuuming."

I was thinking she could find someone and kind of keep him on the back burner. The way Anfisa did.

Oops. Thanks for setting me straight. Leah obviously is functionally illiterate, and my use of any variation of the word "functional" in regard to her is so charitable it should be a tax deduction. Jenelle is marginal on every level, and she couldn't punctuate her way out of a wet paper bag. I was high for two years in my 20s, and it seriously fucks you up. <—-refers to both Leaj and Jenelle.

He's going to be enveloped like a pig in a blanket!

Is he there with you? I wondered where he was.

I doubt deliberately trying to irritate someone is ever a path to harmony. It is good to calmly discuss boundaries, likes and dislikes. Its essential, IMO. Or any night, or day. Perhaps because they aren't considering the other person's reality at all?

Hopefully two people are together because they have at least a few shared interests, but each marriage works in a very different way. I've heard it said that the measure of compatibility is the amount of personal distance each person requires. Some people want an in-your-face closeness, while others just want to check in once in a while. Most want something in between, and the marriages that work do so because both people have the same requirements, no matter where they fall on the spectrum. I also think if anyone actually knew what makes a marriage work, the divorce rate would be much lower.

The schools were probably average, and we know Barb cares about school. Jenelle is just not fertile ground for learning. Or thinking.

No, she just takes their sperm. We are an island of sanity in a sea of ignorance. Let's take a moment to cherish us.

Yes. That level of childish insecurity is a real red flag.

It doesn't take as much to maintain her figure as it did to create it. Girlfriend made the investment long ago. Like you, I doubt there is anything left over. She barely plans for the present, so why would the future be a consideration?

Of course. But if you see it that way, you stop being surprised by her bad behavior, and you stop expecting anything different. It's kind of an Al-Anon approach. Jenelle-Anon.

Jenelle at her fifth wedding reception (the "really special" one):

Probably in a daze from sugar overload. Soon she'll be old enough to smoke grass.

This sounds liek it could be right. Or she was living with mom and dad, but they didn't want the show filming in their house all the time because then all the "I love Trump" banners would show. Isn't Nicole being paid by the show?

I see her as being severely damaged on a fundamental level. So that every response is toxic. Garbage in, garbage out. There are a whole lot of people like that on this planet.

I think Leah is still a strong contender. She already looks 40, and she dresses like she's much older. Chelsea is a wild card, because we have zero idea what she looks like under all that "I'm in the cast of Cats!" makeup. Could be anyone under there. Also, Jenelle's chin seems to grow an inch every couple of years, and she's already looking gruesome in some shots. So really, the title of Aging Most Poorly is still very much up for grabs.

That's an interesting theory, but do we actually know his family is behind this? And do we actually know Nicole is just being stubborn? Could it not be equally likely that Nicole is the dumbest dumbfuck that ever existed and Azan is telling her all the right gooey things in messages? Might it not be true that Azan just wants to be on American TV and get hundreds of dollars a month from The Blimp? There is no "dis" in dysfunctional. Looks more like Nicole in her Veteran's Day outfit. Not that she could float.

I doubt it gets much. I do remember all of that now, including those fucked-up flat bangs with the curly hair. Possum Holler High ("Go, Marsupials!") probably graduates anyone who can stand upright enough to accept their diploma, without dragging their knuckles on the ground.

They sleep in a sour clump, like gerbils.

So true. Imagine what she'll look like in ten years, with five more babydaddies under her belt. Or her butt. Whatever.

Oh yeah. I really don't know how she passed her high school equivalency exam. I guess standards are a lot more fluid in Possum Holler. And/or she was blowing the teacher.
