    TBH for me, the reliance on $ocial media po$t$ makes the likelihood they are exaggerating or faking even more likely to me, even if a factitious disorder diagnosis wouldn't quite fit due to the monetary gain.

    Not saying there is nothing wrong with her, but she is setting off my bullshit meter.

    I went to school with a girl who said she had cancer, and I remember finding her story suspicious at the time and then thinking that made me a terrible asshole. Her social media posts about it were a lot like Carlin's and very performative.

    Come to find out, she was indeed faking cancer. She stole thousands of dollars from fundraisers and milked the shit out of the attention for nearly a year. The resident alumni rumor mill is that she was committed to a psychiatric facility, but I have no clue if that is true. She was never charged for the fraud she perpetuated and she has basically vanished from public. 

    I watched that video and after it happened and she was crying and asking why this keeps happening to her. I may be the only one but I think there is genuinely something wrong. I’ve never been a Carlin fan but they’ve got me on this and I think there is something wrong with her and it’s not psychological in nature, meaning, I don’t think it’s about her being stressed or needing attention.

    I also think there’s nothing wrong with posting a family pic once or twice a year.  I have no idea what the point is of posting only the girl’s bodies/feet/back of head/etc.  It’s like dangling a carrot just out of reach of a rabbit.  If they don’t want people to see the child’s face, they should stop posting everything about the child.  I know why they ever started posting pictures of Felicity to begin with if they’re so strongly against it.  Forget I said that.  I know EXACTLY why they posted all of those pics of Felicity.  They did it to gain more Counting On viewers.

    I stand firm in two things here 

    1. they stared this “privacy” conviction after Gabby and Cade did, and they’ll do anything to stay in that game bubble 

    2. dangling the carrot gets them the attention they want. They are disingenuous with their “conviction” so teasers get them likes, comments and attention, they feed off people begging to see the children much like Jessa does with her name/gender BS

    Hearing all the good surgery stories are making me feel better.  I’m having a robotic assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy on Thursday, and even though I asked the doctor for the procedure, I’m getting very anxious. What if something goes wrong and they knick an organ or have to take my ovaries?  Granted I’ve had two myomectomies and don’t want a third but it’s still worrying.

    Some of you may remember I got my infertility diagnosis last year.  I’m doing okay with that but this is not at all how I thought this journey would end.  I keep asking myself am I making the right decision.

    When I had my hysterectomy my uterus was attached to my bladder with scar tissue that formed after my C-Section (less than a year between the two). Surgery/gas pain was rough but I immediately noticed a difference with it gone after a lifetime of pain. It was the best decision I’ve made and I have no regrets having had one! 
     

    However, I do get really shit comments about it from people, but still, Amazing!

    That video... yikes! LOOK AT THE ROAD AND NOT THE CAMERA/ YOUR WIFE WHILE DRIVING! Seriously, why did so much of this video have to be filmed in the car?

    And did I hear correctly that they left their van running/ unattended in the Walmart parking lot because they were afraid it wouldn't start up again?

    Someone male (Jim Bob?) can be heard saying, "I was expecting the announcement a lot sooner." Ick.

    Anyone else find it odd that Jed and Katey baby-sat Gracie at a baseball game (that JD and Abbie apparently weren't at)? Like, why would you take a baby to a baseball game unless you had to? It's not like Gracie would enjoy the game at her age. Could JD and Abbie not find anyone else to watch her? (And where were they, if not at the game?)

    My guess is Abbie is pregnant and sick, Jana was just out of town so they took her to give Abbie a break!

    I don't think its in practice anywhere either, but I did read that a TX hospital system has brought it up to their ethics committee. The thought was it would only be used when they ran out of resources. Say, two patients needed a vent and there was only one left, could the vaccinated patient be prioritized. 

     

    Isn’t the whole point of the vaccine to prevent being hospitalized?it defeats the purpose If you can still get it and spread it and then end up on a vent 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Jill has so many issues as a writer, but for some reason the small thing that sends me over the edge is her inability to distinguish between coordinate adjectives ("a short, roomantic date") and cumulative adjectives ("a short double date"), which require  no comma. I get the feeling she learned incorrectly that you always put a comma between two adjectives and she really prides herself on always remembering it and teaching it to her poor dumb kids. 

    I would bet she doesn’t actually know what an adjective is!

    I'm a bitch for saying this, but that is the most un-photogenic kid I've ever seen. 

     I’m guessing she’s not “growing out of it” anytime soon 🤣🤣

    Carlin does, too -- it would explain a lot about her. 

    🤣🤣 unfortunately I think she’s just that dumb, and embraces it as a personality trait 🤦🏻‍♀️.

    I'm a but curious...when you get food poisoning, you're not 'out of it', right? Maybe you feel like crap, have diarrhea and vomit but are still coherent. It sounds like Josie almost not conscious to me. What really went down? Yes, perhaps she had a hangover from her celebration?

    If you do not drink anything and cannot hold down food you will get dehydrated but also have low blood sugar. That will account for being incoherent. It happens especially in people with low body fat.

    It was only the older girls who were swimming that night.  Everyone else was inside watching a movie.  There’s absolutely no reason why they couldn’t have worn a pair of shorts and a T-shirt to swim.  No reason at all, other than they may not own a pair of shorts.  I’ll bet they don’t. 

    Oh there is a reason! It’s impossible to virtue signal if you don’t do something drastic to draw attention to yourself!
