Beaver, Utah. Up the road a piece from Parowan. About 300 souls larger. They wash your windshield when you buy gas at that Chevron. If you get out of the way they'll pump it too. And there's a most excellent taco joint on the other side of the freeway. Meri really knows how to tear it up, don't she? Yawn.

My reaction was "Welp, he hasn't heard of her." WHEN is she going to fall? Never? Shit's gettin' old. Barf.

My hell, that is funny! And that photo is the icing on the cake!

Hot damn, that was funny! A+

To clarify: you are not virtue signaling. You are objecting to something that appalls you. Virtue signaling is when you say "I send gift boxes to the troops every year." Just shut up and do it. "I adopt a needy family every year. Here, look at these photos of them eating the turkey dinner I provided." Do it, and shut up about it. Etc, etc. What you're doing is taking a stand. Virtue signaling is being pious by drawing attention to good deeds when virtue should be its own reward. Posting this because I want to clarify that my virtue signaling post awhile back wasn't about anyone here (in case it came across that way).

Maybe. Could be. But I bet the cookie/virginity bit was strictly PR, just an act for the public. I suspect that Kody had 20 or however many years of missionary and then Robyn introduced him to other delights. He floated 10 feet off the ground around her. Going against all previous history and behavior, he chose her wedding dress. Christine gave us a Real Housewives moment when she walked away from the talking head couch over that, on camera. Robyn got a, what, 10-day honeymoon. If he could have, he would have phoned in appearing at Truely's birth. He was all dialed in to the care and feeding of Sol and Areola and sloughed off Truely when the wives went out of town. I think every bit of that spells pussy-whipped.

Yeah, but what about the bathroom, the guest room, the walk-in closet, the pantry? A few years back Faith Hill chided Tim McGraw for telling Oprah and the world (and their daughters) that the pantry was their playpen. (Oprah sorta asked and Tim straight up answered).

If you watch it again don't take your eyes off Meri's face when Robyn is cry-talking. I can't decide if she falls for it or if she totally doesn't and is gobsmacked by what she's seeing/hearing.

Everything in your post is right on. There are very few members in good standing receiving food stamps or what used to be called Welfare. The church also runs a job service for members called LDS Employment. Those who are in need due to death of a spouse or parent or ongoing illness or divorce or job loss receive food and household basics from the bishop's storehouse in return for volunteering at church canneries and farms. That sounds pretty outdated but Utah is a rural state and food is produced and processed close to every population center Utah has low cost/no cost health insurance for kids, I think it's called CHIP. That's one of the few things the church can't provide and is usually the only government assistance that members in good standing need. As long as you tithe you are viewed favorably and can ask for and usually will get help. I knew a (single) mom who was all the time getting her furniture moved and a frig or washer or dryer or a car tune-up when she needed it. She spent more in bars than she tithed but she did tithe in full and attended regularly and she was never turned down AFAIK. Which was pretty cool. It changed after her girls grew up but their childhoods were good ones. Mom worked full time and didn't earn a lot but her girls were never deprived. It really is an amazing and efficient system. You should see them in emergencies like house fires or annual flooding. It's like watching an ant hill. Giving credit where it's due I was very proud when my daughter spent three days sandbagging an icy cold river. She said she was in it for the pizza and hot cider and donuts (which were donated and served by members). She had a fire that started in the garage and partially went into the house. She and her husband were first responders at the time and got called out to their own house. The ward phone tree got busy and, no shit, about 20 pickup trucks were there within 15 minutes. They emptied her house onto the front lawn right quick and then went back to what was left of their lunch hour. So, yeah, gotta love all that. But if my house was on fire: LOL ::: crickets :::

"How's that workin' for ya?" Ask it again, and again. LOL

Survival food is the oldest and most prestigious MLM in Utah. It gave birth to all the MLMs that followed. There are more survival food MLMs than you can shake a stick at and, oh my, turning down a last days sales pitch requires nerves of steel. Because angels and demons will be battling in the streets and you will have the one empty pantry on the block. I knew someone who kept buying 50 gallon barrels of wheat, tons more than she could use in this lifetime or the next one. She would sneak bags of it into her neighbors trash cans the night before pickup because of the weevils. But she kept buying it. She was always giving me bread but I never ate it because I feared that it came from infested wheat.

There was an awkward pantry moment long ago, maybe the first season, when someone hinted to or reminded Christine to stop yakking about the shared food in the pantry. Because that is a big food stamps no no.

When I saw this episode on Sunday night I was busy so I watched some parts and listened to others. Tonight I actually watched the list your reasons/white board scenes and I about crapped when I saw how hard Meri was eye fucking Kody. Ewww. And he didn't hate it. (Jesus, it was like Casey Anthony eye fucking that cop when she got out of jail. Remember that?)

Well, yeah, but he was the pretty fish in a very, very small bowl.

Get naughty, Janelle! She pulled her tank lower in the second photo to shoot some cleavage!

Kody refuses to admit that his expectations and so-called solutions are unrealistic. He keeps banging the same gong and not getting the result he wants and can't figure out why that is. He kinda/sorta realizes that his wives are different personality types but something inside tells him that if he could juuuust figure out the correct word salad they would all jump on board without objecting or talking back. He is mentally and emotionally lazy. And now, after weaving this tapestry of frustration and dysfunction, he wants his own space where he can run away and hide from everyone. Barf.

When they were talking about a lack of privacy because of others just walking in - didn't Kody say a bit later that, of all of them, Christine is the one who does that?

IA. I think Mykelti should skip right over clarifying shampoo and give Pert or Prell a shot. In cosmetology school, in the mid-80s, one of our instructors shared an interesting story when we were learning about how shampoo is made. Before she went to cosmetology school she was a single mom living on a tight budget and she got a screamin' deal on a cute little house because the previous tenants were male college students who left it filthy. She got a couple months free rent for bringing the place back to normal. She was happy with how everything turned out except the bathtub - she could not budge that grime. One day her young sons were rough housing and they spilled Prell shampoo all over the tub and left it there. She opened the shower curtain that night and realized while rinsing the tub that the Prell had removed the grime. Voila! She ran to the store for another bottle and a couple hours later she had a nice white bathtub. And she quit using Prell on her hair.

It passed unanimously in a Senate committee and then in the Senate as a whole, without debate. There will be a second Senate vote, IIRC for an additional provision, and then it goes to the House. Let's face it, it's already a done deal - they didn't even care enough to debate it. The legislature and judiciary are 90% LDS and Utah is a theocracy. Look at the ages of legislators and judges - polygamy is only a couple generations back for many of them (three generations at most). Sigh.

I about gagged when Robyn listed her successes from her earlier vision board. " ... and I wanted to write a best selling book, and I did." Nope, nuh uh. We're gonna need to see a receipt for that wish, you bullshitting hag.

The last paragraph in Sepinwall's review in Rolling Stone. (Nice touch). https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-recaps/el-camino-breaking-bad-movie-recap-895354/

The episode ended with "They want to sell the house we're in." But I didn't catch who said that. Was it Robyn? Be still, my heart. Because did Kody already mention Janelle's second Flagstaff move when he was standing in the truck tabulating how they've been moving for 11 months? Between the show timeline and reality timeline, I'm so confused.

The real Robyn is always just below the surface. I HATE how she fronts as being the mellow wise one, so reasonable and understanding and sweet. During the first 10 minutes or so, during the house conversation, Meri hadn't said anything and one of them asked her about her opinion and she said (paraphrasing) "Cut the crap, it's not about the parking or the garage." And immediately, Robyn went to "Rowrrr, pffftt." I forget exactly what she said but it was real snotty, in a heartbeat.
