Nathan looks scared to death, to me.

I don’t blame him. Jill is a scary woman.

I don’t see anything on the Novilase website to indicate that would be a point in it’s favor. It isn’t the lumpectomy or the laser destruction that would affect the ability to breastfeed; its the radiation and/or chemo that do it.  The radiation will damage the breast lobules so they won’t produce milk.  Chemotherapy gets into the breast milk and makes it unsafe for babies so her current child would have to quit nursing if she got chemo.

They talk in the blog about the kids staying with the Maxwells so I’d expect she either didn’t breastfeed at all or only did did so briefly.

On the blog, they also claim that they won’t have a pathology report for a week which makes it sound like she is have a biopsy and not the full procedure  since it burns the cells to destroy them, leaving nothing behind for the pathologist.  Which begs the question as to why they need to go out of state for a biopsy.

She is having a biopsy and not the full procedure! Dear God help these people!

You guys Rods went on a triple date to the restaurant (corky bells) where Josh and Anna Duggar got engaged. So cringeworthy. Keller’s probably paid since they took them there.
 

[Sew Sumi]

It was called Gator Landing when Smuganna got engaged there, but I do recognize the deck.

For them, that would just mean invoking Jesus in every other sentence. 😂

Ahhhh the sign of a top restaurant...fried gator in a plastic basket. I wonder how many Michelin stars it has?  
Seems as if the Keller’s are paying for a lot this trip. 

[Sew Sumi]

I predicted this! Have they been to any churches aside from the Kellers'? 

Nope.

Jill is extremely invested in physical gifts as a sign of love and affection. She wants  STUFF, even if it's cheap, crappy, and clutter. She loves when her kids forgo a needed meal as a sacrifice to Jesus, but she absolutely deserves another stuffed animal, bottle of perfume, box of chocolates, or bouquet of flowers on any and every occasion. Hypocrite. Since David stuffs his face when his children don't get enough to eat, he's just as bad. 

The Rods are fleecing the Kellers for all they can get. I bet Ma and Pa Keller are having panic attacks about being connected to the ultra-greedy, grifting Rodriguii for the rest of their lives.

Jill is not just interested in physical gifts, she wants the kind of stuff a 15 year old dreams of getting from her first boyfriend.  Most of us mature and outgrow our stuffed animals, candy and flowers notion of what makes a good Valentine's gift.  Jill is stuck in the mindset of a young kid and she's been married 20+ years.

I just returned from Danger America, my 8th or so medical trip.  One of the couples celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary on Valentine's Day.  You know what they got each other?  Over the past 20 years or so, they've 're-gifted' each other with greeting cards from the early years of their marriage which they'd saved.  They each choose an old card, add the new date and write a new line or two and give them again.  Far more meaningful than any teddy bear.   BTW, he also gave her some flowers at breakfast, mainly because roses in El Salvador are pretty cheap.  As soon as breakfast was over, she took them to the kitchen and gave them to the ladies who cook for us.

What’s up with Them sticking to their relatives sides/same gender? Jill can’t stand next to Nathan or his dad? David can’t stand next to Mrs Keller?

Jill is the world's biggest suck up.

[galaxychaser]

Jill better quit using up all the Keller money or Kaylee can’t marry little brother of Nathan. Not Nuri and not Nathan needs to happen.

[emma675]

Good lord, I almost barfed trying to read Jill's Mr. Keller suck up fest. And I wonder how many of those tracts end up on the ground or in the trash 5 seconds after Mr. Keller gives them out?

Are Nathan and Nurie now legally required to clutch hands whenever they are together?

[Mojitogirl]

I think the hand clutching shows how starved for affection these kids are. 

[DangerousMinds]

Why is Jill even calling him “Mr Keller?” He doesn’t have a first name?

[Sew Sumi]

Maybe it is an age thing? Pa Keller is 20 years older than Jillybean. 

[beagletime]

My advice to Nathan and the  Kellers, run!  Lock the doors and turn off the lights.  Pretend you aren't home. Unless the Kellers plan to support Nurie's whole family, get out now.  This is only the start.  Before they know it the new in-laws will be living in their yard.

His name is Michael and he often goes by Mike. Oldest Duggar grandson is named Michael after him. 

[kokapetl]

Pa Keller should insist that Jill accompany him to the prisons he visits. She might get some colourful feedback on her makeup.

I don't play the name game often, but when Smuganna announced the boy, I knew it would be Michael James. That pick was easy money.

New picture up. Jill is kissing up so hard. She is thirstier than Jeremy. And you can leave comments.
 

Keller-Duggar family. So very blessed to have sat in the same spot as Josh Duggar!!! WTH???!!! You are blessed to be adjacent to a child molester? Keller’s paid for the meal. Yay. Rods are low life disgusting grifters.

So the Kellers aren’t just *letting* Nathan marry Nurie, they seem to be actively working (and spending!) to make the match happen. I’ve been thinking about why they are planning to willingly and seemingly happily hitch their wagon to the Rodrigues circus of crazy and the only thing that makes sense is that they’re desperate to get Nathan married off and don’t think he could find a better match. But why? His family is poor and he’s butt ugly, but the Kellers are fundie royalty, which I would think would count for something. They have already lost three children to lives outside the cult, so maybe they’re concerned that if they marry him to anyone more “liberal” (like a girl who went to college or wears pants) he might follow suit. The Rodrigueses have a lot of flaws, but they’re certainly indoctrinated enough for the Kellers to not worry that Nurie will lead Nathan down the fundie-light path. Or maybe Nathan isn’t into girls or sex and the Kellers realize that Nurie is unlikely to complain about that as long as he knocks her up once in a while and she doesn’t have to go home to Jill and the room of 1000 bunk beds. It’s a puzzler.

Have you seen his face? His 23 year old face? That guy has won the lottery with Nurie. This is a man who occasionally wears identical outfits with his non twin brother.

The Maxwells, or Steve, at least, also claimed that Mama Terry Maxwell’s depression was caused by her addiction to Diet Pepsi.  I don’t believe we ever heard that she got therapy or medication for it and there was never a mention of how having umpteen kids and a seriously stunted life controlled by her husband might’ve exacerbated things.

To be fair to Stevehovah, this isn't true. They decided Pepsi (regular, actually, not diet, my guilty pleasure as well) was coming between Terri and Jesus, and that she needed to sacrificially give it up. They didn't in any way at all connect it to her depression. They even went so far as to admit that it was worse after she gave birth and that they knew hormones were out of whack, but still didn't want to interfere with God's plan by using medication. I'm linking both blogs below:

I’m wondering if the laser surgery isn’t connected to a breast tumor but instead to a met, like a brain tumor.

She may have already had breast surgery and not want everyone up in her business.

Yet she continues to put all kinds of personal medical out there for complete strangers?

[Ljohnson1987]

Jill is beyond thirsty. She posted that the Keller's took her to the place where Josh and Anna got engaged. And how special it was.  She not only sold Nurie to the highest bidder, but to a family with reality tv connections. If this isn't a set up, I don't know what is.

Yes, Jill, we all noticed the religious literature in Mr. Keller's hand.  I'm sure their server wasn't happy to see it though.

[galaxychaser]

The religious tract was probably the tip. 

#hrblock #taxrefund #thanks Keller’s should have bought themselves new identities and run away.

"I want to enter witness protection."

"Are you testifying against a mob boss?"

'No, my son is marrying into the Rodrigues family."

"May God have mercy on your soul."

[BradandJanet]

Terry Maxwell became involved in a bondage affair with Pepsi Cola? Interesting. Maybe Stevie is even duller than we thought. 

Wait until married Nurie drinks her first full can of Pepsi. It will be all downhill from there.

I now have a mental image of them singing the first line of Lana Del Rey's song "Cola" as part of their Pepsi-induced rebellion, and that is not a mental image that will go away anytime soon. . . .

Please don't pitch a show idea for "Conservative Evangelical Swap."

They'd all volunteer because they want to be breakout stars. 

Note: Not 'Fundie Swap." Jer's not a fundie.

She looks to me like she's lost weight since they got engaged.  I hate to think of someone her size trying to slim for the wedding.  I hope she isn't trying to get into that wedding dress Jill bought for her years ago.

Laughing out loud on these pics:

It's clear she didn't even realize they spelled the surname wrong because she posted the first pic and then the SECOND one is a close up of the name. (By the way, this wasn't some enormous sign outside -- it was on the monitor inside (what looks to be) the conference room in this church. And get a load of all those engaged hostages churchgoers who attended. Average age: one step in the grave.

The jacket on the guy in the last picture is a thing to behold for sure.
