  1. Yes, it's easy, click on the calendar. You can see current and future availability. Plus, you know Meri is counting page views to validate her investment. Click away!
  2. Informative article explaining how men all over the world who hoard women benefit socially, financially and politically - thereby limiting or totally removing opportunities for unmarried men to succeed in any meaningful way. This game is rigged, to say the least. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2006/04/one-man-many-wives-big-problems/304829/ In polygamous societies where the dowry system is practiced if one man has 20 wives and each wife comes with a dowry of 20 cows, 15 sheep, 10 goats and the annual yield from three acres of crops then that man accumulates 400 cows, 300 sheep, 200 goats and the annual yield from 60 acres of crops. Livestock must be fed and tended but that is more than balanced by its value as currency, which is the road to prosperity. Those who rule the society are chosen from the prosperous class. Nineteen men will lose a chance in that round of the marriage market (and perhaps many more to come) and if they remain single they will not accumulate livestock and crops the way Mr Twenty Wives did, if at all. Nineteen men will have no stake in their society and protecting its values and ensuring its survival. Now let's paste some religion onto it and promise some virgins in the afterlife to the (mostly bachelor) warrior class; that sounds good, yep, that should work.
  3. You guys are Telling It today. I think Yiddish just might be the.most efficient language on the planet. Don't get me started with Nudnik Ken who has chutzpaw like you never saw and, oy, that Shiksa Barbie!
  4. Does she still work there? I live in St George and that pawn shop is about a mile from my house. Somehow i figured she was doing something else by now. Depending on your answer ---> field.trip!!!
  5. She bugs me the least because she was raised plyg so I give her some slack. It's never easy to overcome our early imprinting, even if we're open to doing it (which she isn't). I was totally impressed with what she was wearing when they toured Meri's inn: white leggings and a (watercolor graphic?) pullover (3/4 sleeve?) with ruched side seams and U-shaped hem (ruling out a visible camel toe). It hugged her body yet was forgiving in all the right places, suggesting an hourglass shape. I think it was the cutest and most flattering Sister Wives outfit I've seen. I would wear that in a hot minute because I'm built like her - a bit thick in the middle. With her gorgeous hair, that outfit made the most of what she's got.
  6. For someone who sees and presents himself as an arbiter of morality his mind spends a lot of time in his pants. When Maddie and Caleb share the news of their first pregnancy, he mentions squirting out another little Brown.
  7. Customer: I would like to make a deposit. Tony the Teller: Dubious!
  8. I can't stand her ... but she lost someone that way not long ago. A cousin or in-law or longtime friend. A guy no one realized was going through a dark time. Survivor guilt. IIRC she disclosed it on Twatter or the joory blog/site.
  9. This reminded me of something that pissed me off the other night when they were tripping down memory lane. They talked about how the early years of mothering were so different than what came later. Paraphrasing: the mothers were in the same boat when all the kids were littles. When the littles became the older siblings they did a lot of the mothering for the new crop of littles. (The point being that the later dynamic eased them into losing/disregarding whatever original closeness and commonality they had with each other.) Take Care Of And See To Your Own Damn Kids, Please. You Brought Them Into This World And They Are YOUR Responsibility. You Probably Wouldn't Have So Damn Many Kids If You Had To Do All The Tending Yourself, bitch! I know that dynamic happens everywhere but it's especially common in Utah. I rarely go somewhere without seeing 7-8-9-year-olds (usually girls) with babies on their hips and littles by the hand. Not plygs, mind you, just everyday Utahns with large families. Gah!!!
  10. Something occurred to me the other day re Christine. By no stretch of the imagination will these women be living together after the last kids age out (they don't even live together now, FFS) - and Christine will be SOL when it comes to Social Security/Medicare. Meri has some employment history and was married long enough to draw against Kody's earnings (however paltry those are/were). Janelle was employed for many years but never a legal spouse. If Robyn sticks it out long enough, she will be a qualified and legal spouse. I don't see much of a rosy future for any of them and especially not for Christine. The TLC gig is (fleeting) income but it's not employment. If she lives with one of her kids when she's old or rotates among them, OK, that's a roof over her head but what about everything else a person needs (food, clothing, meds, toiletries, cel phone) and wants (gifts for kids/grandkids, crafts or books, an occasional restaurant meal or movie ticket)? Poverty in old age is one of the most cruel and serious consequences that polygamy visits on women.
  11. This reminded of a new word this season from, I think, Meri: silling, which threw me until I worked at it like a good viewer should and realized she was talking about a ceiling. Or, silling.
  12. You are killing it today. Kill Ing It. "Landsnark will be here all week, ladies and gents, but tickets are going fast so don't be left out."
  13. cased said: He chased her until she caught him, LOL. I picked this up along the way, in her book All Things At Once IIRC, although she tells it more daintily than I do. Her career was up and down for many years and she was demoted to doing newsbreaks during the graveyard shift. Joe watched TV when he couldn't sleep and he enjoyed her news updates and programming hand-offs. The timeline tells us that this was right about at the middle of his second marriage. So, sleeping next to Susan while lusting after Mika. He hired her for MJ in a hallway at MSNBC, he was that desperate. Just hit her up for a hire in a hallway and (while both were married) they soon embarked on years of out-of-town "work" trips that were noticed by many of their viewers/anyone at NBC who had functioning eyeballs. Married to Susan 2001-2013, hired Mika in 2007 for the new Morning Joe after the 9pm Scarborough Country tanked.
  14. Ah, I see. Did Meri at first announce that Christine's mom would be the manager? We heard that, right? Would love to know what happened with that.
  15. A source tells ET that Kim was the first to make "skin-to-skin contact" with the child followed by Kanye, adding, "Kanye was in the delivery room but behind a curtain. He immediately held the baby after Kim received her." The source adds that there were no complications. http://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/celebrity/everything-we-know-about-the-birth-of-kim-kardashian-and-kanye-wests-third-child/ar-AAuMSP3?li=BBnbfcL
  16. Did you scroll down a ways? I figured that out after awhile with VRBO listings last year: like, if the upper and lower floors of a duplex are available separately each one appears in the other's listing when you scroll down. I had to re-trace a lot of my steps when I was hunting. ITA that the tiny house doesn't belong in the photos, it's misleading. Sarah's Room/queen bed - sleeps 2 and The Grandma Room/queen bed with 2 twins - sleeps 4 but ... East Room/king bed - sleeps 3 and Bee Room/king bed - sleeps 3 (???) Wow, packin' 'em in like sardines. Sarah's Room sounds OK so why not go with Grandma's Room and Bee's Room instead of The Grandma Room and Bee Room (I don't see any sort of bee motif going on in there)? All are listed as "one night minimum stay." Huh? *** Innkeepers *** Name(s) - Meri Brown &amp; Bonnie Barber Name(s) is superfluous because Innkeepers is the heading. Use an ampersand OR a semi-colon, but not both. --> &amp <-- is sloppy. The main website boasts of "antique four-poster beds" but none of the photos on either site display four-posters. So, whose mother is Bonnie? I guess that got ironed out?
  17. Why did they give a Canadian test to an American president? Are the Canucks trying to take over?
  18. 15 minutes ago stormy said Totally agree. Takes me back to when I was a transcription data analyst in medical records, my job being to verify the dictated text in reports and summaries against the patient demographics: date of birth, male or female, race. Easy example: if I had a "bilateral hysterectomy" surgery report for a "31-year-old Caucasian female" under a medical ID number belonging to a 79-year-old Asian male then I investigated until I could match the report to that gynecologist's actual patient. (Perhaps the ID number dictated by the physician was off by one digit or digits were transposed, or their accent was so thick or they spoke so rapidly that the transcriptionist mis-heard it. Whatever, the patient was misidentified.) Trump's physical is beyond hinky. Last night it was widely reported that the initial "exceptional" statement released via Trump's staff (ahem) was signed by Dr Ronnie Jackson. Besides the glaring fact that his name is "Ronny" and that doctors don't speak in superlatives, a physician would sign as (WTH, let's go with the WH spelling) Ronnie Jackson, MD (or DO or whatever) but definitely not as Dr Ronnie Jackson. So, hinky meter, pegged. I missed most of the show this morning - was this mentioned?
  19. Laughing so hard that I'm snorting so hard that the back of my throat hurts.
  20. nm (sometimes I have a bad attitude)
  21. Is this like the Hollywood Walk of Fame where anyone who "donates" is awarded a Star? Because, truly, I don't get it if that is not the case.
  22. The feigned nonchalance in light of the SNL skit was obvious - and with "thanks, babe" the heavy-handed attempt to cloak herself in gravitas this morning went "poof."
  23. The lot is 18216 sf, so 0.42 acre.
  24. Surprised to learn that the grand opening happened on a Sunday. Wait, I'm surprised to hear that there even was a grand opening. I mean, #1 who in that BFE town could possibly not know the Inn's location and #2 why would they care about what it offers? It's not like the townies are ever going to stay there. With the size of the mortgage, the lack of location location location, the lack of business experience (let alone common sense), and the inability to recognize that needs should have priority over wants ... this is one ticking financial time bomb.
