I had never heard of Maunday Thursday until this year when my Catholic boss mentioned it.

@ChiCricket, plese DM me, too, Thank you so much

It's so nice to see everyone! I missed an entire week of work last week because of bronchitis. Thankfully, I only work 5-6 hours a day because I've been having a 2-3 hour nap after work and then going to bed at 10 pm. Besides the after-work fatigue, I can't shake this cough. It's not the constant phlegmy bronchitis cough, it sounds yucky but I'm not coughing anything up.

She would take your money, then turn you down and tell you the registration fees were non-refundable. Just like her g-d would, I'm sure.

I wouldn't mind if for some reason they couldn't have kids. There's enough JB Duggar grandchildren running around being raised with his beliefs and educated by his uneducated adult children that the loss of 2-20 from on kid is not an issue for me.

Unfortunately, Jill learned to be self-centered from her ultra-Christian homeschooling family, she passed it on to her kids, and in another 20-25 her grandchildren will be the same self-centered hypocritical uneducated jerks. Even if 1 or 2 escape, the net number of Rod a$$holes is going to be incredibly high. I'm not defending what she did, but in their world, believing that their god is in total control does comfort them. It's "I don't know why little Hezekiah got COVID and died, but I know god has a reason, I just have to have faith." I read an autobiography about an Amish man who quit the Amish life to join a different xtian cult. He recruited a couple of his siblings. One of his young nephews died horribly; at the funeral, his Amish dad defected to join his cult. Their takeaway: god tortured their beloved little boy to death so his grandfather would quit his xtian church to join his parents' xtian church. This horrific tidbit comforted the parents and other family members.

I bet she's also depressed that she got what she wanted and what Kody kept telling her he wanted, and now she has to deal with his anger at being 'betrayed' by the other wives. And those wives seem to be pretty happy, something she probably hasn't experienced much in her life.

Based on that image I think he would look better bald than he does with that witch's nest he has right now.

Handed to him or night, he did work a real job as opposed to his sons who are all working for daddy.

Unfortunately, those are the popular colors for babies right now. My 13th grandson is due at the end of February and almost all the baby clothes I could find were sad beige-autumny colors.

@BetyBee, I'm so sorry.

Wow, the Coveretts sound like a normal family with Christian beliefs. I sure hope Tim & Heidi's life is based on them and not on David & Jill's.

I have trouble waking up after surgery, so every day surgery I've had in the last 30 years (3) has turned into an overnight stay. The insurance refused to authorize the second surgery stay because I lived within 40 miles of a hospital and wouldn't accept my doctor's explanation that it was a 60-90 minute drive. Thankfully, the hospital agreed to waive the charge if the insurance wouldn't pay for an overnight stay because I was on oxygen for most of the night.

I bet she does the same screechy look at me schtick she pulls with her children. I went to church with a lady like that who would aggressively tickle babies and little kids until they cried and then gaslight their parents into believing it was the kids' fault for not being "tough" enough to play with Grandma LastName. I can see Jill doing the same thing to her grandbabies.

I had a crush on a male classmate in grade school whose name was Joby, so I don't care what they name this one, I'm naming it Jobert/Joberta and calling it Joby.

@Anacaster, I'm so glad you had a positive experience and the doctor agreed to accept you as a patient. My best friend was recently diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and like Long Covid, it's an invisible problem that people just don't seem to understand. Big hugs to you!🤗

Oh man, I just got back from the grocery store with KC. I wanted to go early in the morning before the crowds, but it was also before my brain kicked in because I forgot to give him his ADHD meds or take my meds. Everyone in the store knew exactly what we bought, what he wanted for Christmas, how much he liked Oreos, Chocolate milk, gummy bears, hot wheel cars, and half a dozen other things I didn't buy. He wasn't complaining or naughty, just very loud and talked the entire time. He is simultaneously amusing and exhausting. 😄 I kind of want a nap, but those dishes aren't going to wash themselves.

I'm glad you've got transportation and your tumor isn't malignant.

It makes me wonder about Jonathan's home life if he prefers the Rods to his own family.

I once put leftover horseradish from a special event at work in my mashed potatoes thinking it was sour cream. It was surprisingly good and now I keep it in the house.

The little Keller boys always look so sad and fearful. I have a feeling Nurthan are using the Pearl method of beating resistance out of babies.

I just got back from a 4-day visit with my oldest. His wife is pg with their second so KC and I took a trip to Boise for her baby shower. We went to our first hockey game and it was so much FUN!!! My 18-month-old granddaughter loved all the excitement for the 2/3 of the game & fell asleep for the last part. My grandson, was on the Jumbotron twice dancing. We also went to my son's in-laws' house and KC got to ride and then drive the 4-wheeler. He's now begging me to move to Boise. He's spending the next 3 days with his mom. I'm dropping him off and driving another 2 hours to my sister's house.

@Jeeves I was really interested in the nomad life before Covid. I could easily live in a converted van as long as I could control the temperature. But, now that I signed up to parent my grandson for the next 5 years, it's not going to happen.

Holly Elisabeth or Jasper Tozer. Fern and Ivy are ground-covering plants, so Sage or Violet would be appropriate. I want Holly to be a contender because I think as a sibling group, Ivy, Fern, and Holly are cute. A.W. Tozer's first name was Aiden, but that's probably not old-fashioned enough for the Seewalds. Felix and Jasper have the feeling that Henry has, and Jasper even has a biblical background, supposedly one of the three wise men and one of the precious stones found in scripture.

I was 16 the first time an ENT doctor recommended I try hearing aides. Since my step-father refused to spend any more money on me than absolutely necessary, that didn't happen. As a young adult, the high prices kept me from getting them. It wasn't until I was 50 that I finally broke down and got them. I had birds in the trees around my apartment and never knew it. Their chirping was so beautiful. I also realized that the only reason my kids survived to adulthood is because I couldn't hear them during their teen years. I order from Temu a lot because I'm part magpie and like shiny stuff. I've had good luck with their shirts, other than everything is polyester. It's hit or miss with toys and gadgets, though. I check the size of anything I buy where size might matter because they'll show a picture of someone holding something normal size and when it comes it's smaller than a matchbox.
