  1. Dear Lord, Nancy never has anything nice to say, does she? She also comes off as a piece of work in this month's Food Network Magazine. There's a grid where all of the FN personalities talk about what Thanksgiving looks like in their homes , and Nancy's Thanksgiving seems so stuffy and rigid that I'd rather eat McDonald's than go to her house. I I'm at least liking all of the contestants so far. They all seem to be friendly and hard-working. I'd eat anything they made for me (and I wouldn't complain, Nancy!).
  2. When will Jill ever learn how to "do" social media? A much better idea for a video of Candy Land would have been for her to film the last 20-30 seconds of the game, and let Izzy cheer and be happy if he won (and only IF he actually won... as a teacher, I send this plea to parents: let your children lose games and fail at things!!!). Boom. That would have had instant likes, and not a lot of criticism from the haters. It boggles my mind how she just doesn't get it.
  3. Derick's latest tweet: "Proud of my Cowboys on defeating #6 Texas! Go Pokes!!!" I cannot recall him ever using the word 'proud' to describe his own sons.
  4. The juxtaposition of the two posters perfectly sums up how programmed they are in the choices they make. Those two are what, 21 and 18? They should have had a silly date night and watched Night School, but I'd bet the farm that their cult declared that only Gosnell has the Gothard Stamp of Approval™.
  5. My theory on the "kids play outside" post is that she is trying desperately to be a lifestyle/mommy blogger. She felt that she HAD to tell a story to set up a simple time of playing outside, because that's what good bloggers do. The story probably isn't even true. She's just trying to sell the idea that she swaps advice with other "busy" moms to diversify her blogging portfolio. It's like the contestants on Food Network Star. They aren't allowed to present a dish just because it's good. They have to tell a story behind it. In the beginning, we get the awkward stories like, "My mom loved this soup. The last time I made it for her, she choked on the chickpeas and died. I think of her every time I make this soup, and that's why it's special to me. Enjoy!"
  6. This is spot on, and exactly what Jeremy aspires to do. Thankfully, he lacks that natural ability to speak and manipulate. I think these megachurch televangelists are rotten people, but they got to where they are because they just have that 'special something' that causes people to blindly follow them. That kind of skill just can't be taught, and I also think that they work their butts off non-stop. Jeremy has proven that he is unwilling to put in anything close to a full-time work week, let alone an time-consuming career. The only thing that Jeremy has going for him is his infamous in-laws, and I really don't see that fact alone allowing him to continue his fancy watch lifestyle into retirement.
  7. Well I guess that by the end of the semester, we will be able to pinpoint which lessons discussed Roe vs. Wade or LGBTQ topics. We just need to look at the Instagram posts to see when she sat with him in class. He won't be forced to discuss his hateful views, they will have immediate topics to pray about later, and they can have Josh-style hand sex under the desk (alone time!).
  8. The best part of him reading the book is that the pages that he is looking at appear to be blank. That just about sums everything up right there.
  9. Haha! I always think this about all of the Duggars. I wonder if any of them ever just say to their spouse, "Dude, let's just NOT talk about Jesus or the Bible for one day. Just one freaking day. Maybe we can even split a box of wine and watch Will and Grace." I'm a librarian, so naturally I love to read. But I don't talk about books in every single interaction that I have with people. Of course, I am also a highly educated freethinker who has a variety of interests, unlike the Duggar family.
  10. My theory is that it gave them some adventure in their otherwise boring lives. They both literally have nothing to do all day (I don't believe for a split second that Jeremy puts in anything close to full time work as a pastor). Making a longish trip every week probably made them feel like they were being productive. I can hear Jinger gushing to others, "We found the most amazing midwife who is about two hours away, and we are just so busy going to all of these appointments. We barely have time to get anything done at home." To which the friends/sisters reply, "Oh, Jinger! I don't see how you do it all. You're amazing! Let's go for a pedicure."
  11. I'm continually amazed at just how bad she is at taking pictures. Why do we need a selfie in which she has scraggily hair (even more so than usual), terrible skin, a worn out shirt, cluttered counter, and a messy jar of salad dressing? For crying out loud, all she needs to do is spend a few hours looking at some food blogs to get an idea on how to properly style her food if this is how she expects to earn money.
  12. I haven't watched an episode in a loooooong time, but I just watched the preview. I forgot just how much these people touch each other! It's like they are incapable of being in the same room without touching, hugging, arms around the waist, etc... It's like once they get married, they can't stop groping each other. I love my husband, but I do not want his hands on me 24/7.
  13. I find it to be incredibly sad that Kendra can still be on her dad's insurance when her own son is in first grade (and probably without being on anybody's health insurance himself!).
  14. I truly don't think she is even thinking that far ahead. Even Ree Drummond who has built an empire around her blog and recipes doesn't post a new recipe every day. Jill is like a child. She is currently obsessed with the novelty of posting recipes and receiving feedback. She will eventually realize that it's too hard or too much work to come up with new "recipes", and move on to something else to obsessively post about (housecleaning tips? frugal living tips?). Her newest slop recipe is a more disgusting version of one of my favorite Iowa staples... funeral potatoes. You can tell that she took the picture because she actually managed to burn most of the Corn Flakes. Her arrogance at posting such a bad picture is astonishing.
  15. I love Ina, I really do. But I have to say... it drives me CRAZY that she keeps all of her measuring spoons connected! It's basically dirtying up five spoons at once. Every time she uses them and they clank together, it makes me stabby!
