    Yeah, even in assisted living, they check on residents - with their own tile and showers and bathtubs - every few hours. My grandfather was stuck on the floor for awhile twice, both times without his fall alert “necklace” on (once in the bathroom in the middle of the night, once while he was changing and it was hanging on the side of the bed during that process, out of reach from the floor). The fall that ultimately led to his death was with my dad walking right next to him, and he significantly broke his fall, they went to the hospital immediately, etc, but the bump on landing was still just enough and in just the wrong place.

    24/7 supervision - at home or in a care environment - only happens on suicide watch, I suspect, and even then I think it’s more “remove everything” than “someone actually right there in earshot or eyes-on 24/7.”

    (Which is probably a good thing - no adult would *want* actual 24/7 supervision, and what people want matters. How crazy-making and infantilizing.)

    That was my point that you can't have 24/7 supervision. But the worst thing is to have an unenclosed pool around young children or elderly adults who may or may not be unsteady on their feet or may or may not be confused. Just doesn't make sense. The fact is that Mary did fall into the pool and did drown. You don't hear of this with healthy adults who know how to swim very often.

  2. The only. sister that I noticed having lost a lot of weight is Katie. Her face is very different from a few years ago. She looks beautiful.  Josie and Carlin have always been slim especially Josie who is very petite.  Tori has put on weight since she got married and had her baby. She will probably take it off but she seems to take after Kelly Jo more than Josie, Alyssa, and Carlin. They are all very pretty ladies.

  3. As much as I dislike Bethenny I didn't read her post that she was calling Dennis Bryn's father. I read it like well I guess he must have had another child somewhere. It is really a strange post. If she did intend to say he was a father to Bryn she is a sorry excuse for a mother and a cruel disgusting person. Bethenny will reap what she sows when Bryn turns on her just like she turned on her own mother. This child has a father no need to pass off one of her many boyfriends as daddy to Bryn.

  4. If Mary had suffered strokes and was frail and confused it was not a good idea to have her live alone in this house. At the very least the pool should have been enclosed in a fence. Yes elderly individuals can be stubborn but this is no excuse for her to be left alone around an open body of water. This should be a lesson to the Duggars with all of the many young children to get the pools on their property secured behind a fence. You cannot watch a child 24/7.

    The Duggars are a lot of things but I don’t think they were negligent towards Mary. There’s nothing to suggest that she was physically or cognitively unable to look after herself. It was an ACCIDENT. A tragic one but it’s not anyone’s fault. Young people can have accidents like this as well. 

    Likely she may have wanted to live alone to get away from the noise. She may have wanted her “me time” to enjoy her home on her own terms. 

    I do hope no one at the home at the time is burdened by guilt over this. Do we know who found Mary? Was it Deena?

    Yes a younger person may have tripped and fallen into the pool. But hopefully that younger person would know how to swim. That is unless a long denim skirt pulled them down.  If Mary was confused and fell into the pool in the deep end she may have panicked and not known how to get to the side and get her self out if there was no steps. Confused elderly adults should not be left alone around a body of water be it a pool, lake or river.

     THAT'S Grandma's house?

     Damn, Grandma Mary...you lived large....

    I had the impression that she moved in with the Duggars after Grandpa died and then she stayed there to cook, clean and babysit. When did she move out? It was mentioned earlier that Mary may have been confused and suffering from dementia. If that's the case she should not have lived alone in a house with a pool. She may not have known how to swim fell in the deep end of the pool.

    Jules is beautiful, Kristin is pretty.  Heather?  Not for me, oh dear.  I wouldn't describe her that way.  Aviva is beautiful.  Luann, Dorinda.  But Heather???  I think too strong is probably the better reason.

    I didn't word that correctly. I meant Kristin and Jules were too pretty and Heather was too strong and at the time a successful business woman. She had no problem holding her own against Bethenny.

    I try to watch this HoWives franchise as much as possible so maybe what I have ascertained isn't the popular opinion but I see a group of women who appear to be afraid to stand up to Bethenny/disagree with her/challenge her to the right to have a difference of opinion, they're not self confident enough to disagree with her and tell her so. Just my observation.

    1000% agree with you.  Dorinda, Tinsley, Ramona, and Sonja all watched as Carole self destructed at the reunion last year. She was supposedly told to make up with Bethenny translation kiss her ass and beg for her forgiveness.  She didn't want to do this so she is cut loose. Bethenny didn't like Kristin, Heather either too pretty or too strong for her so they are gone. She took an immediate dislike to Jules so she is gone.  These women know that Bethenny holds the upper hand and most need their job either for money or to promote a project or just to stroke their ego. LuAnn better be real careful.She is overplaying her hand. Seems like Bethenny has decided that Lu is getting a little too popular and needs to be put in her place or else. From Bethenny's lips to Andy's ear so to speak. Lu you are replaceable and will be if Bethenny wants you gone.

    This is exactly the situation with Sonja. At one point in this episode she said that Quincy's father is old and won't be around much longer to "fill in the gaps".

    Right away I understood what she meant by that.

    Yep the gaps in her check book.

    I can't believe Luann didn't bring home the truffle fries. I would forgive anyone for anything if they brought the forgotten truffle fries. Once you have them in your head and they weren't in the order- now that is a nightmare. What kind of friend ignores a text to go get the fries!!!

    I felt bad for Barbara, but she just doesn't have the personality for this show. I think she was probably a nice real life friend to Luann, but just doesn't have the vibe or personality to insert herself into this show. That's not a bad thing. You almost have to be totally shameless or naturally funny or have no self-awareness to do well on reality tv. If not, it's a little cringe-worthy watching someone try to insert themselves into drama that's not about them or end up playing the dreaded "messenger" or meddler role. The other women aren't going to hand her a storyline and she just doesn't have one. 

    It made me sad to watch an adult woman feel left out because she doesn't fit in with women she would probably never choose to hang out with or be friends with in every day life. This forced social dynamic with her is all kinds of awkward.

    Felt the same way. These women are looking down their noses at Barbara like she isn't up to their standards. Romona acted like Barbara would drive away the men if she went  to a club with her and Tinsley.  Watching Barbara trying to fit in last week at that party when none of the women were paying any attention to her was painful. She kept following them around and looking lost. None of these women are nice.

    Why in the world would God allow another child to be born into that lunacy?  I mean, He works in mysterious ways and all but geez...give the poor kid a break.

    Changing the subject...

    Kelly Bates has posted a picture of 2 dead babies on her family’s  IG account.  Conjoined twins of a family friend, and they look full-term.  They were conjoined at the heart, so they only lived 8 days.  She thought it was appropriate to post a picture of them after they died.  I don’t even know what to say.  Is that appropriate?

    No.

    Oh my goodness. She finally looks 20-something (what is she, 26-27?) instead of 40-something. But maybe it's the carefree smile that exudes even from her eyes, and light-hearted happiness with her little guy.

    She looks so much younger and prettier than the longhaired overly made up caftan wearing Kathryn.

    Perpetually pretty, priviledged Cameran has never cut Kathryn much slack. Yes, Kathryn has made huge mistakes and behaved with the usual selfishness of an immature person with mental health and addiction issues. She appears to have listened to her doctors/therapists and is trying to set herself straight. Cameran has everything to make her life easy while Kathryn, 10 years younger, faced and continues to face huge struggles. Cameran could be a bit more compassionate. 

    I think all of the women and men if you can call them men have bent over backwards for Kathryn. Unfortunately she got together with Thomas when she was hardly out of her teens. Her family pushed her in that direction. She proceeded to have 2 children one after another hoping that this would seal the deal. Didn't happen. Kathryn  is emotionally and socially stunted in her development. She needs to either go back to college or to a trade school and find a career. Thomas is not the meal ticket that she was looking for. He is a disgusting person and as such she should get over him and try to find a way to support and raise her children without looking for another sugar daddy. Thomas owes her nothing but child support. Grow up Kathryn your children need a parent.

  13. Oh even more strange Michelle says that Gramma Duggar went around asking people about their spiritual condition and would they know if they stood before God would they go to heaven? I've known religious people in my life from my devout Catholic grandmother and a Church of God coworker but never had anyone ask me about my spiritual condition. Not knowing Grandma Duggar can't say if the picture they are painting of her as a spiritual busybody is an accurate one or not. She didn't seem like that from the few times I saw her on the show.  RIP Mary Duggar.

    According to the Duggarling's statements regarding Grandma Mary, she was a huge, constant god-botherer who told everyone she met to turn from sin!  I've always had a pretty good impression of her and sure hope the kids are just blathering their usual jesusy words.

    I noticed that too. Both Jill and Anna made a point of saying that she always encouraged people to turn away from sin and seek forgiveness from Jesus. I thought that was a weird thing to say about Mrs. Duggar.

  15. Don't believe for a minute that Jill wrote that crap. She might believe it but she lifted this from another source or sources. In the early 70's Marabel Morgan wrote a book with basically this same stupid advice, The Total Woman.  Lots of women bought into this. This was 40 years ago. FASTING for your husband??  No if I want to drop a few lbs. I'll do this for me.  According to Jill the natural follow up to Jesus saying love your neighbor was have more sex with your spouse.  What a stupid young woman married for 5 years doling out advice on how to have a happy marriage. She should come back in 30, 40 or 50 years and let us know how all this one sided husband worship worked out for her  She must really be afraid that Dullard will stray if she needs to humiliate herself like this.

    Why was Mila shown coughing repeatedly before revealing that she had food poisoning?  Pretty sure coughing is not one of the symptoms.

    Yes with the coughing, running back and forth to the bathroom and her huge uncovered hair I would not eat anything coming out of that kitchen and trust me I love to eat.

  17. More than her crappy food, I was appalled that she was preparing food while recovering from a stomach ailment. Did she have a virus or food poisoning?  If it were a virus she risked  spreading it to everyone on that boat. I wanted to scream did you wash your hands throughly?  My guess is that she served  heavy tacos, enchiladas and nachos as a starter course hoping that no one would eat the steaks. Maybe she was just so sick this is all that she could come up with. Although looking at all that heavy cheesy food make me queasy and I don't have a stomach virus.

    I'm about 75% of the way through. Not sure if I can finish it. She comes across as whiny and the "That's not who I am!! Wahhh!" gets old. She knew what she married into. Geez. Considering how much the real Meghan has spent on clothes, her social conscience persona seems fake. They made Lady Gabriella Windsor a jerk. I've never heard of her being a jerk.

    Stupid movie. For the record I think Meghan is doing a great job. Harry seems very happy. Never heard anything bad about Lady Gabriella. It's her mother Princess Michael who is a jerk. 

  19. I cannot watch Kathryn clawing and yanking her hair. If this is a wig she needs to get her money back.  The top of her forehead looks like it is painted red to match the hair/wig. Why do so many of the women on these reality shows need to wear wigs and extensions? Chelsea is a hair stylist. Time for Kathryn to ask for her help.

  20. After watching this show I came to the following conclusions. All of these women with the exception of Bethenny are overcompensating with their actions because of a loss in their lives. And this loss stems from a man leaving them either by death or divorce. LuAnn cannot accept the loss of the count and her former life as a society matron. She tried to land a man any many and look what she got with Tom. Now she sees her self as a successful cabaret star wowing audiences worldwide. Not a man but still adulation. Sonja no longer the high society lady Morgan so she lives in the past mentioning her former spouse and the Morgan name to whomever will listen. She overcompensates by drinking and presenting herself as an aging sex kitten. Dorinda will never move on from the sainted Richard. John will never measure up and she tell us and him that on a regular basis. She overcompensates with the alcohol and this turns her from a lovely gracious lady into a mean shrill drunk. She is one step away from assaulting someone in a drunken rage. Ramona seems to have recovered from her divorce but tries ever so hard to be a 40 year old hottie in a 62 year old body. She screams look at me look at me when I go out all these young men and women approach me. Tinsley needs to be a sociey wife married to a rich man to be happy. She learned this from her mother. She will never be attract a  man until she changes her clinging childish behavior.  Bethenny doesn't chase men to be happy. Money drives her sense of self worth and she uses and disposes of men like kleenex and moves on to the next one. Barbara accepts herself for what she is. A successful business owner. She doesn't need these women or a man. What she is doing with these women I don't know. They look down their noses as if she is not worthy of being seen in public with them. Run Barbara.  On a lighter note everytime someone accuses LuAnn of being on her high horse it reminds me of Gretchen from the OC accusing one of the OC ladies of tooting their high horn. Getting her metaphors mixed up.

    I think Sonja is in panic mode as Quincy is coming to an age where she will not have access to certain funds/properties as she did before when Quincy was a minor. Sonja needs her apple/salary the most and it's not guaranteed. Sonja also drinks alcohol and eats in group scenes as though she doesn't see this kind of bounty when the cameras are off.

    I actually thought Sonja was scarier in the Berkshires when she was holding Coco up in the air.

    I think the reason people think she is on something more than alcohol - because she is aggressive this season. It could very well be since she's buddied up with Dorinda, she is getting some bumps. Those bumps might be cut with an upper/speed which would explain the sudden bursts of anger/aggression.

    Bingo! I thought the same thing about Quincy. She turned 18 last October when they were filming this show. Old man Morgan probably doesn't have to pay for Sonja to accompany Quincy on vacation trips anymore. Also he may no longer be paying child support and that could be a pretty substantial amount of money that Sonja no longer receives. In the past Sonja has mostly been a sloppy drunk not an aggressive one like what we are seeing  now. Something is going on with her other than just having too much to drink.
