It sends a very powerful message to a jury and a society when the (white, male, LDS) former highest law enforcement official in the state (attorney general) defends a polygamist who is accused of inflicting grievous physical injuries on his wife. You have to ask how and why Mark Shurtleff agreed to defend a mook like KH.

I fumed when I was following this case but didn't know at the time that he was Kody's BFF. There are two articles about him, I will post them separately. Note the bold: 1) in light of the recent decriminalization of polygamy and 2) the identity of Nicole's father and the identity and tactics of KH's attorney. FYI you can't swing a cat in Utah without hitting some guy who looks just like KH - must be something in the water. https://www.sltrib.com/news/polygamy/2018/09/12/jury-acquits-man-accused/ https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2020/02/28/its-not-return-days/

Meri can't live in the B&B. A part of the reconfigured loan that allowed the purchase without help from the family was that it was commercial property and not a residence for her. She cannot live there.

Kody: I don't know how to cure what ells us. Robyn: Sometimes you have to figure out what heel you want to die on. I'm sorry, but constantly havng to translate what they're saying gets in the way. And I'm someone who enjoys accents. That first fight scene lasted an entire 30 minutes. My cat watched the whole show, including the commercials, perched on the end of the bed with her ears pricked forward. She does that with Planet Earth or Dr Jeff or The Zoo. So I guess she thought the energy on sister wives tonight was coming from animals - and she wasn't wrong, was she?

Kody: There's nothing to rent. Everything's fur sell, fur sell, fur sell. Robyn: We're spinnin' our wills.

This season, the show isn't available to me until 11pm and usually I fall asleep and miss it. I am setting the alarm tonight! When Meri is in a mood she over-pronounces words that end in t. I'm looking forward to seeing whattt happens when she finds outtt thattt they were talking shittt abouttt her.

OMG, it's the best isn't it? I enjoy it on re-watch as much as a first viewing. Every one of the staff members is so personable, so endearing, so well-spoken. I get a kick out of the phrases and terms some of them use and how they express themselves. Secret Life and The Bronx Zoo are my two faves. Jose is yummy! (I may have said this before) my sister and I clap every time he says "That's how we do it in the Boogie Down Bronx" during the intro. (We also clap every time Baby's mom says "Sit down, Jake" leading up to the finale in Dirty Dancing. We are such nerds that Siddown Jake is one of our catch phrases).

Her overall ignorance is tiresome.

That's part of what I'm wondering about. Maybe bigamy applies only if there is more than one legal marriage at the same time. I can't figure out how/if they are legally using the same last name.

Nowadays she's such an amiable dunce that it's easy to forget what that chapter was like. Jayzzus. Thank you for the reminder.

(Given Christine's supposed great fear of legal consequences) I was thinking about their last name(s) on driver's licenses, bank accounts, loan and credit card applications, government aid applications, etc. Especially in regard to Janelle and Christine because they're not legally married, never have been and they have 12 kids. The kids all use the same last name, from what we've seen on social media. You need documents to change your legal name: birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce decree, court order, adoption order, driver's license, Social Security card, etc. Utah doesn't do common law marriage in terms of it being automatic after a certain number of years. It recognizes what is called a Cohabitation Agreement and it must be documented by an official form. Then we get to the Feds. Social Security requires the same documents, mainly to demonstrate that the change is not an attempt to deceive (monetary) or evade (criminal). So do we think they've done everything legally or are they free-balling it? Or 50/50? https://www.utcourts.gov/howto/marriage/commonlaw/

Heh. In the olden days, when my ex was filling out a form and came to the line/box for Sex he would always write Yes. DMV, doctor's office, it didn't matter where - it was always Yes.

Maybe her family is as tired of hearing it as we are.

He knows how she acts when her husband isn't around.

Like most of us, all I can do is go by my personal experience. I worked on the hospice side of a home care/hospice agency for 10 years and the care we provided didn't end with the patient's death. Depending on need and preference, visits were scheduled or impromptu for up to a year. We continued to stop by when we were in the neighborhood or in the building. The only behavior I can compare as being even somewhat similar to MM's is that of parents who lost children. Losing a child is unnatural and it's not unusual to see parents just about go into another dimension for awhile. And even then, what they said and how they acted didn't come across as I, I, I or me, me, me. Obviously they were haunted by thoughts of "My pain, my loss" but I never saw or heard about a nearly constant campaign of demanding that attention be paid to their grief and respect being demanded because of their role as mourner. I never saw or heard about a family counting the days or weeks. If they were doing that privately they sure weren't posting it publicly! Holidays or birthdays without someone were mentioned or noted, yes, but I never realized that the days were being tabulated on a calendar. I can't think of one person who carried on the way she does when they lost an elderly family member who was suffering because of cancer (or any illness or injury) and the ensuing necessary treatments, or the fact that treatment was impossible. People were sad about their loss and some showed it longer than others but not one person talked or acted the way she does. After awhile a learned behavior tends to become an ingrained behavior. IMO it's self-centered, self-serving and very unhealthy and the longer it goes on the more I become convinced that it's insincere. It's getting creepy, like practically Munchausen grief.

Women went to work, like usual, like they were expected to do, and before the day was over Halperin rubbed his penis on them. He's lucky that there's still enough of him left to apply at Target. Fuck. Him. And fuck that simpering pile of affectations AKA Joe's most recent piece of ass.

Robyn She-Rah:

DNA from each parent is shuffled when it gets combined and then dealt to their offspring. It is not a given that full siblings (same mother/same father) have the same DNA; there are many similarities but there also are many differences. A deck of cards has four aces - if you aren't dealt an ace it doesn't mean that there are no aces in the deck. (More at link). https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/Native-American-DNA

The Tom Hanks movie takes place just after the Civil War and is scheduled for release on Christmas Day I recently read a novel called The Sparrow based on the kidnapping of a British-American Puritan named Mary Rowlandson in 1676. The book she wrote later went through four printings and is often described as the first Anerican best-seller. Her experience pre-dates The Last Of The Mohicans (the kidnapping of Daniel Boone's daughter and grandchildren) by about 100 years. The common thread in the long history of the captive narrative is the reluctance and/or refusal to be repatriated. I'm not clear on why there is such a strong preference to ignore, downplay, and deny that DNA was blended along the way. There are such claims in my mother's family, which resulted in extremely heated disagreements. My best guess is that it comes down to racism. I can see how Elizabeth Warren honestly, in the way she remembered hearing family history, came by her information but I cannot applaud her if she used it for professional or financial gain.

Support after majority depends on the jurisdiction, the decree and the involved parties.

It depends on the audience but too often, unfortunately, the answer is yes. Sad.

Yeah but ... those are original mainstream tenets, they don't come from the AUB or from Kody. Ruling your own planet and predestination of souls come from Joseph Smith. For example: we're living on an exalted being's planet, which is proof that the teaching is true.
