There are too many Rods to fit in a single safe place. I'd go under the giant staircase in the map room. Jill's jetted bathtub is another option. 

There might be a couple of boxes of crackers in the pantry closet to temp anyone who hides there.

This picture looks staged to me. The “damage” is awfully neat and tidy. Not saying they didn’t have a storm go through, but I suspect she needed to find a way to make herself the center of the drama.

If it had been staged, there would have been a decorative cross placed neatly in the center of the destruction to prove god loves them the mostest 😆

[crazy8s]

the only trees they have seem to be on the outer edges of their property. so the trees piled in the middle of the yard was interesting. Also the staged looking pic sort of look like items Jill got at a garage sale or picked up along the road on trash day but she hasn't gotten around to "remaking them" and adding them to the graveyard garden yet. You would think the land tornado would have caused some damages there that were picture worthy.

David’s mother was at Phillip’s “graduation” and she was the best dressed and most modern looking woman there including her own granddaughters. One of the little Rodlets is wearing a dress so big, she looks like she’s standing behind one of those cartoon cardboard cutouts at the carnival.

I saw that. The dress is way too big on her. Maybe they are hoping she will grow into it ---- when she is like 22!

The storm was just a couple days ago, Jill. “Roughing it,” really? It’s a hard life when others provide your family with more food.

Edited June 15, 2022 by Cinnabon

[Westiepeach]

That’s probably the most food those Rodlets have had in one sitting!

[ginger90]

So what are they using their generator for, the freaking printing ministry?? 
I remember having no power for 12 days, once upon a time. We had a gas stove so we used a generator and had the refrigerator and freezer on it. We used the grill for cooking and heating things up, no microwave at that time. There’s dishes to do, showers to be taken…… Of course these blessed people need others to cook for them.

Her cell phone certainly has enough juice to grift on social media. And it looks like David is talking on his. Why is “laundry piling up” after two days? I thought she goes to the laundromat. Or is that only for soul winning?

In order to deal with that backed up laundry they could following Amish methods.  Otherwise they could try bathing in those runoff drains.

[CalicoKitty]

Having no power would not make a difference to the Amish.  The Old World Amish that I am familiar with have no electricity, but have appliances rigged up to a gas or propane motor.  So Jill is not "living like their Amish neighbors".  Her neighbors are prepared.

[emmawoodhouse]

I also want to know how the kind pastor and his wife got to the barndo with all those trees blocking the driveway? Did those scrawny boys move them all so cars could get through? 

Or did the Amish come down the driveway and clean it up themselves, given that they use the driveway as well.

FWIW, the next N is a Keller not a Waller baby. Still destined to be an underachiever. 

Thank you. I'm the one who called the baby a Waller.  I couldn't think of Nathan's last name and Waller seemed right at the time.  Oops.  

I am worried about Callie too.  She looked absolutely exhausted in one video.  I hadn't noticed the same clothes.

Callie cooks and cleans at home, to subject her to so much physical labor it’s abuse, plain and simple, Gil and Kelly are vile grifters.

Poor Callie. I've seen Addee with babies on her hip, so I guess that's her domain. A mini-Michael. I'm not sure where Ellie falls on the child labor spectrum.

I noticed that too and wondered if Nurie did one eyebrow Jill's way in preparation for her visit, and didn't do the other with the intention of hiding it beneath her bangs...that way, she'd only have to re-grow one eyebrow instead of both.

I also notice that I put way too much thought into all of this.

Sofia was wearing the dress that was at least six sizes too big.  That child has never wore clothes or shoes that fit.  NEVER.  She is 7 years old but looks like she’s 4, maybe 5.  Her hair is very thin, stringy and dull, her skin is gray, and she’s extremely underweight.  I want to break down and cry every time I see a picture of her.  I won’t say what I would like to do to her POS mother.

I don't have a problem with people only allowing their girls to wear dresses and I don't have an issue with shopping used/free clothing stores for children's clothes. But these little girls are almost never in clothes that fit, look nice, and/or are appropriate for what they're doing. That can be done even with used clothes.

It makes me want to whisk them away to a children's clothing store for a closet full of pretty dresses...then to the pediatrician for a real check-up, to the grocery store for a cart full of healthy proteins, veggies, and fruit, then to a small private school to enroll them in a educational setting that is sensitive to their current social skill set along with a solid learning program. This is list could go on & on.

All it really would require is Jill or Kaylee or Renee to give the little girls 5 minutes of time to make sure they are dressed appropriately.  Why that never happens when we see Jill and Kaylee and Renee with a full-face of makeup daily plus hair is a mystery.  The boys are all neatly dressed, but the girls are a wild bunch until puberty.  I have never seen a family with this level of disparity before.  Jill does not seem to care what her girls look like as long as they are in the right color for her vision.

OF COURSE Jill's street was hit harder than "nearly anywhere else".

I feel like under the extra strenuous, financial times, there should have been a picture of David in his recliner with his beloved map.

[GeeGolly]

So the Rods can travel for days/weeks during their grifting circuit. They can travel for vacations. But two days of no power and all of a sudden they're broke because they can't print. And what's worse than JillR's lies is, she will actually get donations.

And I’m assuming that the majority (if not all) of people who donate to the Rods are also feeling the pinch of higher gas prices, higher food prices, etc. And this will in no way affect their vacation plans this summer because she deserves it, no matter what new expenses might come up! (Also, who believes that David has enough print jobs that he’s working 24/7?)

Jill and David can't afford gasoline for a small generator to keep the fridge and water pump going, but they would have no problem driving a big RV to Texas for a beach vacation if only they could grift a free house.

David must be overjoyed he can't print. Work is time away from the dinner table and the recliner. 

The town or state clears trees from the roads, Jill. Your strapping young men don't have to do that. 

I do feel bad for sweet little Sophia and her tree house since her Best Momma doesn't seem to care about Sophia unless she's useful for sympathy donations. However, the wood is still there, mostly intact. Timmy and his brothers built it once. I'm sure they can put it back together without too much trouble.  

Since PRAYER is the best way to help, I'll put in a word for you with the Lord Named Daniel. 

Best typo: "when the trump sounds to bring us home to Heaven." 

BTW, leave LGBTQ people alone, you slimy hagfish.  

[GeeGolly]

Someone should donate a bulk order of gay pride flags to JillR so she can sell them to make gas money for her generator. 

[Turquoise]

It does amuse me that the initials for Best Momma could stand for something completely different...

Take THAT, O Hateful Hagfish! (thanks @BradandJanet)
