Yeah, I said the same thing. It’s like they’ve never had a conversation with anyone else but themselves so they all sound identical. Yeah it’s normal to pick up your family’s accents and style of speaking, but not to this bizarre degree. Plus the girls all go supersonic even when they say hello. As an example, anyone who watches dancing with the stars? Maks and Peta are from the Ukraine and Australia. Their oldest son is about seven, I believe. He used to speak a lot like his mother, but now that he’s in school he has the regular old American accent. No hint of either one of theirs, and theirs are so different anyway.

I would believe it. Those BMI scales are very unforgiving. Plus, she’s got really thick wrists and very sausagey fingers. that reset is such nonsense. So basically you don’t eat for three days, and lose 3 pounds. Then when you eat again, it goes right back on. Any decent fast needs to be longer than that, and include some real food.

Could not agree more about ironing the clothes! How much else does she have to do, she can’t iron things she’s trying to sell? I see the black Friday sale for $20 for “ fall outfits” whatever that means. I noticed the plus size stuff is not on sale. I doubt much of her audience want to purchase xs/p clothes. Aren’t most of them buying Plexes for weight loss? Brianna (or whatever) has the fakest voice. She’s trying to sound like the other girls, who have never heard another person speak except for mama. Or godly church ladies.

I had to wear the shoes too for a while. Saddle shoes, extremely ugly, and I got made fun of. A couple of years later, saddle shoes were very popular. 😔 When my son was a baby, he had one foot curving in. He immediately got a special shoe and that took care of it. These two B’s likely do nothing. Except to make sure the girls have good teeth, so the men will choose them as their soulmate/breeder. PS: to say that I did not grow up in the 50s, which is when I think saddle shoes were first popular! This was sometime in the 70s (that makes me old but not THAT old).

Renee cannot walk properly. I’ve never noticed it in her “ model” walks, but look at her here. Her feet and legs are turning in badly. I don’t know if she was tired because it was so late, or that’s something that she has always had. But I could imagine it being a lifelong problem that was never looked into.

I don’t know why in the world you would put a black T-shirt under that beige monstrosity. Why not white or beige? That makes too much sense. And she never usually sells the T-shirt or tank top underneath. Wow, what a gift! I guess it’s a cute sundress with some weird long satin looking skirt underneath it. And one of the labels from the outfit look like it was from a used clothing store. Advertising it as new on a separate tag. We see what you’re up to Jill. You are buying Goodwill clothes for probably $2, and selling them for $35 This girl hasn’t had her makeover yet, but it must be coming soon. It’s funny, once they all get the eyebrows done, and start their eye make up, they look alike. Except Tessie. She is really naturally beautiful and looks different from the others. I guess this is Sadie? It can’t be long until her eyebrows get done, and her hair isn’t so childish. Get out the hot rollers and start teasing! 😠

Sausage and sauerkraut is very Eastern European. And also old school. My mother-in-law is Italian and she would always make it also. Not my favorite, but my husband could probably eat half of that pan. I wonder why Jill never does anything with beans? Not that I have seen anyway. Very high in protein and very cheap. You can make a million kinds of soups, use it in tacos, so many options that could make a lot of food. Although I think part of their problem is that she has brainwashed them into fasting for the Lord, knowing she doesn’t have much money for food.

Joy and Austin: This One Time At Family Camp

Oh my goal as a teenager was to have Barbra Streisand’s curly perm. It was the easiest hair ever. I would just wet it and use the pick, oh so 70s. Well, I got to college in the 80s, and all the girls had long hair. So much for my Barbara style. We all want to fit in. Not so sure about the evangelicals though. The rods don’t seem to care what the hell they look like. But I did just hear Jinger say that Jeremy paid for someone to come over and help her do make up. Ha. Remember when she was orange and had a curly perm and raccoon eyes. That was not the look that the preacher wanted. -

I have been blonde for most of my life. During Covid I decided to let it grow out. It was just wonderful when it was half-and-half. 😆 it finally all grew out to natural brown and I am only 10% gray. My mother-in-law absolutely hates it. I also had it cut shorter, but she still says it’s too long. She says it should be lighter and grayer. Yeah hello, why would I do that? She even went as far as to say that I look like a hooker! Good grief. Anyway, everyone has an opinion on hair. It should be what you are comfortable with, not what everyone else thinks is good. Still not sure Joy knows what she’s doing though. I don’t get the sudden need for dark hair when that’s not even her natural color. But at least it’s not still down to her butt. It’s definitely an improvement from those days. but I don’t think Austin is as controlling as everyone thinks he is. She seems fine with trying out new things, and he doesn’t really seem to care much. I’m still holding out hope for Jennie to grow up and find her style. Right now she is very plain in the plain skirts. I think she would be a perfect blonde. I hope she experiments with that because I think she really is quite pretty. -

I think it looks really nice when she’s all dressed up. But she was at the gym today and she just had a plain part down the middle with it pulled back. That did not look right at all.
