It’s $875 in Louisiana. I think you’re right that Jill has no idea the amount of time Deertick will have to be away from her to study. Heaven only knows what kind of nonsense she’ll be posting then.

I love Zoey!!! She’s absolutely adorable and could definitely school Josie on some things. I feel like Josie is more adventurous in her tastes for food and trying new experiences than some of her siblings. It really is unfortunate that she is so limited in what she can and cannot do. She strikes me as the kind of child who never meets a stranger, and would friend people quickly. For all her quirks, I think she is a sweet kid in a shitty situation.

I guess I’m too accustomed to southern prices. There are plenty of expensive homes here, but most aren’t that high. I did see a home for about 3.5 million earlier in my city, but it was 9 bedrooms and 13,000 sq. ft. 300K can buy you a nice home here, and 200K can build you brand new home in the suburbs. Throw in $75,000 in homestead exemptions and it’s even better. I don’t know how or really care how they’re paying for this new lifestyle. I just hope they don’t get so caught up in all the middle class trappings that they cause harm in their relationship. Knowing RFP he probably thinks he’s immune.

$675,000 for 1800 sq.ft? That’s why it’s the dirty, dirty south for me! That amount will get you at least 3,500-4,000 sq. ft. here. Granted, it’s hot as the devil’s balls and we get hurricanes, but your money goes a heck of a lot further.

Sam comes across as one of those kids who just doesn’t want to be bothered. Speaking from experience, if that’s your personality then that’s your personality. I didn’t want to be kissed, touched or held as a baby, and 38 years later I still don’t want to be kissed, touched or held. According to my parents I would squirm and frown as an infant when I didn’t want to be moved or disturbed. My motto now is get the hell out of my face. That goes for boyfriends, nephews and annoying coworkers. And I have a nephew that’s the same way. It’s not that i’m not social, and I’ll talk your head off. I love to laugh and have a good time, but I’m also easily annoyed by clingy individuals and require far more personal space than the average person. I think Sam is similar, and having a clueless blowfly like Jill and her damn camera phone around probably exacerbates the situation.

Am I the only who sees her asking Sam, “Is this how you do it? What do I do with them next?”

Whatever that shit is Jeremy is sitting through it looks boring as hell!

I think Felicity is just at that age where no one but mom will do. She’s aware when she’s away from her mom, and dad is cool and all, but he isn’t mom. He’e just the other person in the house. She’ll outgrow it in due time.

Nailed it! ETA: I feel like this could be a future thread title. It would have been perfect for Jill and Deertick, but they already have an awesome one.

Maybe the recent tragedy has shown them life is too short to obsess over hem and necklines and their super special, legalistic, fundie, Gothard approach will not shield them from tribulations. Either that or all the piety and modesty is a stunt for the cameras.

Delta Delta Delta!!!! (No shade to this or any sorority, but I worked with a ton of Tri-Deltas back in the day and Jinger fits in perfectly. Some of them were wonderful girls btw).

I always say this too. Joy has a quiet, natural beauty that is timeless. Jessa has a more striking attractiveness that is probably fleeting. Jill is more of an unconventional pretty, but pretty or at least attractive when styled properly (I know right), Jinger is cute but somewhat generic, and Jana is stereotypically pretty, albeit in a sort of bland way.

Joy rode a bike for 7 mikes in a dress? With the baby in jeans in this heat? Good grief.

Call me a skeptic, a cynic or a bitch (and you’d be right about all three), but I am not impressed with Jinger orRev. Furkle’s trendy, fake, mainstream facade. They still have abhorrent beliefs about class, race, gender, and obviously politics judging by the people Jeremy follows and the documents he co-signs. They may not be as extreme as Derick, or as openly looney tunes as say the Rodrigues clan, but birds of a feather. As a minority woman, a Christian and a human being I can’t get behind anyone against social justice in today’s society. I just find that inhumane, cruel and not Christ-like at all. Jesus, the real Jesus of the bible, not the Gothard and MacArthur cult-like or prosperity preaching Jesus of today, loved everyone and spoke against injustice, including social injustice (see the many sermons, parables and bible verses on hospitality, caring for the poor and downtrodden, protecting children, forgiveness, feeding the hungry, and accepting people of all faiths and colors). I also have no hope for Felicity being allowed to pursue education or a career. I could be wrong, and I hope I am, but just because Furkle’s mom and sister have educations doesn’t mean he’s okay with it. His beliefs may be more extreme than that. Sometimes you pattern your life after your parents, and sometimes you go in the opposite direction of things you didn’t like. I don’t think anyone is off base, and I’m not attacking anyone’s opinion, but like a few posters said, that shiny, attractive exterior hides an ugly core of beliefs. I’ll get off my soap box now, but some days these folks just really annoy me.
