This feels like where I should jump in with "but wait there's more...."😂

Jill has a new reel up about "I love hearing my girls' voices through the walls....chatting and laughing" #sisterbestfriends Jill is literally standing 2ft behind them, in the girls bathroom, as she films Tessie and Renee doing their grooming with big ole plastered on smiles for the camera. The girls probably wish there was a wall between them and mama's phone .

Just "hopping on here" to say thanks to you all for all the days this forum has been a place where I can be "la la la la la I can't hear you" to the stresses of real life. My mom has called me every damn day for the last week, while I was away to visit my daughter, because she has a sore throat. She has been to her dr now 3 times and has been diagnosed with a sinus infection and given meds. But she has been "checking her throat" multiple xs a day with a flashlight and "doesn't think it looks better" 🤦‍♀️ While helping my MIL downsize from a fully packed with tacky 2000sq ft ranch with full basement and 2 car garage to a 2 bedroom senior living apartment. I could hear you all laughing with me as I was chucking fake flowers, stashes of half used Avon, political propaganda, cheap jewelry etc into giant garbage bags. It was truly what clearing the barndo would be like. Jill needs to come pick up this crap because it is perfect for her. The coaster from Olive Garden made me laugh way more than it should have. 😂

well they certainly did have their share of criminals in WG. Creeper who stole food. (boy who was town funded to go to med school, never returned) Frank and Jesse James. escaped convicts that hold Laura and Mary hostage, the Older Brothers, Black Jake, Little Lou, Laura (music box), Albert (drugs from package) etc. So rightfully so to lock the merchantile. I thought the " a real door" was addressing the wolves howling and "that locks and has a key" was more about keeping out Indians, but they didn't want to say that.

yes, off the attic guest bedroom. To the right of the sewing machine it seems there was also a small prayer closet space.

I think Phillip is back up in the upstairs attic. He has been home since christmas and Jill posted video of school time with Samuel at a desk in the boys room and Gabe practicing banjo and there was still just the one set of bunk beds in the boys room. Renee stated on a recent grift stop Phillip lives with us, but doesn't travel with us because he goes to online bible class and works full time. Maybe he can buy a trailer and put it in the yard so mama can claim "he lives near us, but not with us" like she did with timothy. The upstairs attic has this space.

I am the same. Always watching what's in the background behind whatever scene Jill is presenting. I particularly liked Samuel in the background trying to remove the changing table and having to stop and unwind numerous electrical cords that were wound through it. Also interesting to me they had a crib this whole time for the "baby" yet put a pack and play for nehemiah in the firetrap upstairs attic guest room nursery/sewing room/prayer closet.

does anyone else think the mattress is an inflatable? the lines on the bed make it appear so and under the pillow it appears the mattress is a bit short for the bed and there is some sort of spacer between the headboard and the mattress.

Jill is begrudgingly allowing 6 yr old "baby" Janessa to progress all the way to 6 yr old toddler Janessa. Moving forward maybe she will also be allowed a booster seat in restaurants and not be crammed into a high chair. Hey Jill that is a closet, not a bedroom. Bedrooms need a window and closet.

There first child is named Eden, so Edey and Edey??? 😂 Her brother and his wife named their child Genesis. 🤦‍♀️

I believe the proper term is "pouring into them". 😂

Because Jill has nothing to say there. She still treats her married children and the spouses just like she treats the youngest. Leave and cleave for her children is not in jill's playbook. Honor your father and mother above all is what the rod kids have been instilled with since birth. It is emabarrassing to see The Nathan Keller family and the Jonathan Hill family still maniacally smiling and waving when mama turns a phone their way. The Timothy Rodrigues family will be no different. ☹️

I didn't see any mystery men sitting at the rod table this year. Just Samuel and Jonathan. Renee and Tessie were at the next table with older attendees.

Their actual property has very few trees. It is more like an open field. The driveway has trees, but it is an easement and i think the trees are on the neighbors property. Jill tried to make it look like they had major damaged from the derecho storm, but even the trees shown where the girl's "treehouse" got destroyed was on the neighbors property or right on the property line. ( it was a pallet or similar on the ground in some bushes and maybe a tree.) I also thought maybe that maybe Samuel's post home school calling might be selling firewood. If so, I hope he is better with an axe than Jonathan. I thought woodstove for the barndo since Kaylee posted about hers and saying that's how they heat the house and it being so much cheaper.

I am wondering if the barndo will be getting a wood burning stove before next winter. In the shed delivery video there was a huge stack of wood against the barndo wall. Not a wood pile with wood for the fire pit in the yard. This was a massive amount of chopped wood. Thinking about the 1,000 electric bill and that might actually be realistic. They heat the barndo and print shop with 2 of those industrial ceiling units, some baseboard heat in the kid's rooms has been shown. Plus all those electric fireplace/space heaters. the map, all the lights, all those silly candles and tchotchkes that jill has plugged in, fridge and freezer, 2 washers and dryers, the print shop equiptment....So maybe i would say that would have been the Jan bill when they were home and getting the big print order ready to take to florida. For the last month they were away most of the month.

This is a bit amusing. In 2016 Jill posted almost the exact same thing about them getting a shed to move the lawn equipment out of the print shop. Difference is first shed was built by handy hubby dave and the boys. From scratch and not from a kit. (totally was a kit) I have a new tablet and can't figure out screenshots. But on jill's fb a seach for printing brings it up from 10/14/16.

Agree the RV maybe can't tow the car now. Dave preaching somewhere recently mentioned they let Samuel drive the car behind them on the way there.

Also thier bill would be high because they are up late at night and have pretty much every single light in the barndo and the map turned on. This is shown is most every video at the barndo. As far as the new shed, Jill's videos have never shown lawn mowers, lawn tools or bikes in the print shop. They have always been shown outside around the back of the house. Videos of the print shop before the upstairs storage was added have shown laundry area, jill's "beauty shop" chair and grooming station, Sam's table saw and boxes upon boxes of jill's seasonal decorations. I do hope they store all those gas cans in the shed. The pile of them in the printshop seemed unwise.

I am grateful for all the times I have been reading through the comments and came upon one that made me laugh out loud. 😄 Sometimes they were regarding the thread topic, but many times were comments in small talk of people sharing something in their day, or their life, that was just fun and funny.

Since Jill always delays posting, maybe they went on 3/14 and got one of the pizza deals for Pi day. Surely they know about that from their excellant home school right?? 🤣🤣🤣

I wonder if they might be getting one of those pre shaped fiberglass pools. I think they have a shorter installation time and that might also explain the only 4' deep .

The baby who will be six years old April 11th. Serious question - has Jill ever posted about Janessa being "saved" or getting baptized? I don't recall seeing that from Jill. I have had no luck finding it on either the blog or jill's fb. Sofia was 5 1/2 when she was baptised. Olivia was not quite 5. It seems most of the others professed their sinfullness and fear of going to hell at age 4-5. They then repeated the words dad and mommy told them to repeat and all was good for the rod kid to have a place in heaven.

comment from one of Jill's relatives on fb to the birthday post. 😂

Nurie has always been the golden child. From her high school graduation post by mama on the rod blog. Along with her bizarre senior photos and Nurie's list of what she wants in a gody husband. Note mama already had planned the moment "we walk you down the aisle". "We are SO pleased to announce that our SWEET Nurie will be graduating from High school this June. We have home schooled her from the start and she has been a JOY to raise and SO obedient and pleasant!! David and I have said OVER and OVER that we are SO thankful for the GODLY example she sets to her younger siblings! She has exemplified EXTREME diligence in every area of her life and for that, we will FOREVER be grateful to her." "Also, Nurie looks forward to investing more time in her younger siblings and helping her Mama homeschool them." "Nurie, our special first born, you are our angel – sent from God above to our home. We want to cherish each moment that God allows you to stay in our home until the day we walk you down the aisle. We are thankful for your EXTREME maturity as the oldest of 12 children and your flexibility to sometimes stressful, busy situations. You are a blessing to us. We are thankful for all the delicious meals that you cook for our large family and for the scrumptious desserts you bake us. Ymmm!" https://rodriguesfamilyministries.com/main/beautiful-daughter-nurie-graduates/

Did they bring her back from Florida? The swimming picture at the springs show Nurie and Nathan and is in Florida. Jill has ❤️ several of this girl's posts since the tea party in Jan.
