Now, now, now, you know they were "called" to a "full time ministry."   Which looks part time to me since you only seeing him preaching on their grift trips.

So now Jill asks for cash gifts sent to a P.O box in Wooster. No way she isn't going to open them and skim the cash before taking the cards to daddy.

Yep.   Or she realized her dad won't fall for her crocodile tears and hand the money over to her.   So she has to grift some other way.    That's Jill, never met a situation she can't grift.

[ms.o]

Oh my god.  The photo she posted of Tessie and gma is just.... why are you cheesing/posing with your grandma AND POSTING ON FB.  I mean, I know why.  But these people are deranged.

Tessie had no choice in posing for that photo. When Jill needs money, the kids sing and smile for the camera. Jill will get the poor workhouse waifs in the photos as soon as she can. 

Just wait until Mama Noyes goes back to West Virginia. Things will really get expensive when Jill and the family start traveling back and forth in the guzzler. Jill and David will need lots of romantic restaurant dates and beach vacations to recover from the stress too.

Nah, Jill will use one of the family's more fuel efficient vehicles and leave the majority of her brood at home.  Of course, she will leave this bit of info out of her posts and make her followers think she's using the RV.

Jill will find a way to grift for gas gift cards, no matter what vehicle she uses.

I think they way they say it is "they were burdened to take on full time ministry"

Phillip has been "burdened" to go to Hungary.

Timothy is trying to get his finances in order to take on the "burden" of marriage and starting a family.

Well, that's a good way to stop this college and Hungary adventure quickly. Gotta nip these things in the bud, or a Rodlet might decide there is some place better than home.

When the mom goes back to WV, Jill will likely go back to her normal grifting and throw in progress notes for pity. But visit? I'm guessing visits will be few and far between.

Visits?  Or should we call them what they'll likely be of photo ops for grifting if her mother doesn't make a rapid recovery.

Any 'visits' that take place will be purely that: Jill will pop in and eat a meal and take a dozen photos and/or videos and head on home.  She is not a caregiver by any stretch of the imagination.  She doesn't take care of her own kids; I don't see her going down to W Va to help her mother bathe or drive her to therapy or clean the house or shop or cook.  Jill is not wired that way.

Agree 100%. She's a taker, not a giver.

I can’t believe Jill got Nurie to donate $100 for her grandpa.  When you are a young 20 something couple with a very low paid single income, and a baby with another on the  way, a hundred bucks is huge.

And my parents would never let one of us kids pay the restaurant tab, even after we were married.

 And Jill brags about young, low waged Nathan paying for Jill and David’s restaurant meals, more than once.  And buy Christmas trees for the family shortly after just having his own son to provide for.

Poor Jonathan has probably already been guilted to pony up restaurant meals for the Rod clan too.

Since the Rod kids exist solely to pamper Best Momma Narcissist Ever, why would the sons- and daughters-in-law be any different?

Jill’s post:

Watch this AMAZING video by my Daddy.  If you know him, you know he has one of the most tender hearts and is a GREAT man of faith!  😊🥰❤

Update on Ma today....  😢😭

From Daddy....

"Mom is looking a little more lethargic today. They just finished the ultrasound on her brain and certain arteries are a little agitated so they are increasing the drainage from her head. They are still giving her meds for clotting  and they like her blood pressure to be on the high side which it is so that it pumps the blood hard keeping the arteries open."

From Angie.....

"Ma keeps sleeping. When I spoke to her, she opened her eyes & looked right at me. It seemed like she wanted to say something but couldn't. And now she's sleeping again. She's acting as though she'a dreaming, moving her head from side to side. She also has a fever of 101.  They think the aggravation in her brain can cause her auto control of her temperature to not regulate her temperature well. They're checking for infection just to be sure."

[Chicklet]

Imagine the possibilities for Jill's great show of grief if her mother dies, and she doesn't sound fabulous at the moment.

Agitated arteries though? What on earth is that.

[charmed1]

That picture with Tessie is just gross for several reasons. I don’t fault Tessie, she’s only doing what her idiot parents tell her to do and it’s typical of the inappropriate photos Jill posts. But, this unmasked and likely unvaccinated child is all up in an elderly and unconscious stroke victim’s face. If they are so terrified of losing their matriarch, you’d think they’d be overly protective of her in current state.

It's like she's taking a picture at a meet and greet with Mickey Mouse instead of her very sick and sleeping grandmother. It's really disturbing to me. It would be slightly less disturbing if she was awake but instead we get this, filtered no less, picture.

I'm thinking the doctors called them inflamed and Jill's dad couldn't remember exactly what was said so he used agitated instead.  Or, Jill, being none too bright, just made up her own terminology in hopes of inspiring more donations.  

Her mom sounds like the typical elderly patient in this situation; one step forward and two steps back.  It is going to be weeks, probably months, before they'll have a clear idea of what her future will look like.

They all need to be told to step back and leave the poor woman alone, though.

Usually hospitals are pretty good on enforcing the Rules.  Nurses are not to be messed with.   They take no nonsense from anyone.   But they are probably overworked and burnt out from the last 2 years and the last thing they need is to ride herd on the Rodriguii.  But eventually they will cross the wrong nurse and out on their dogly asses they will go.   With security being called if they return.

As odd as this might seem, when I have been in the hospital, I would make sure, if I could, to wash my hair every morning before breakfast. When I had pneumonia a few years ago, I did my make up! It made me feel more myself.  I guess Jill wanted to make her feel better? But she is barely alert.

What I would like to know though - did Mom N wear nail polish regularly? I for one would 'wake up' and be like, what the hell, get this shit off me, because for me that's not the norm.

But oh goodness yes, I would like to 'wake up' with clean hair and a clean face.

I’m doubting it was to make her mother feel better. Because of Jill’s history, as we know it, this was about Jill.

[ginger90]

My mother was in ICU for almost 3 months, with transfers out along the line, and back to ICU. I personally wouldn’t have used any outside products on her. We used hospital provided lotions, kept her lips moist, did mouth care, and things of that nature.

[ozziemom]

JillR did her mom’s hair etc just to post on SM so we all know how dedicated she is to her godly mom. So far it doesn’t seem like the GFM is pulling in too much $$. Maybe JillR is not such a great grifter after all. 

[BetyBee]

Jill's Mom is lucky if Jill stayed away from her eyebrows with her tweezers. 

[Liddy52]

In the past when I was having surgery,  I was told NO nail polish. I thought it was something about being able to look at my nails to see if they were turning blue or something like that. Anyway, wouldn't they need to be able to see Pat's nail beds? Especially in her condition? Maybe I'm confused or they have changed those rules. Also I do understand that she is post-op and not pre-op, but it seems as if there is always the possibility they might have to do some other procedures.

I work for an outpatient surgery center, and our patients can't wear nail polish - checking the color of a patient's fingernails can inform the staff of oxygen levels, so I'm very surprised that Jill was allowed to paint her mother's nails...not to mention, the smell of nail polish can be a lot in a hospital setting.  And it does look like she got to Pat's eyebrows as well, because why wouldn't she.  Eyebrows are the windows to the soul.

I look forward to Jill's upcoming persecution post when the next over-extended nurse walks into the room, removes the polish, orders the assorted unmasked waifs out of the room and away from grandma, and demands that Jill follow the rules or hit the bricks.  Should be a good one.

[GeeGolly]

Oh right, most hospital settings are no-scent zones and the odor of nail polish is strong and lingers for hours. 

[libgirl2]

I might have washed my hair, which is naturally curly. I just pulled it back with a headband but it felt clean. Otherwise, my scalp would get super itchy and flaky after two days. A couple of times I was in years ago, I brought make up and would do at least some eyeliner and mascara. One, it made me feel better and two, it gave me something to do while I lay there. Oh and three, I was not unconscious!!!  I would never do nail polish! 

[Turquoise]

When I had my thyroidectomy they let me keep my toes done, since I don't paint my fingernails and they could monitor that way. But...my toes were already done, and I wouldn't have dreamed of doing them in the hospital.

If Jill's mom is one who likes to keep her fingers done, that seems like an activity to do with her once she's advanced to rehab.

When my mom was in the nursing home, they had a woman (I think her mom was in there too), who would come in once a week and do the ladies nails. It made them happy and it was giving a bit of dignity they lose with the dementia. I think it would be appropriate for her to do when she is in rehab.

Pulse oximeters do not work well on people of color nor on people with fingernails painted with dark polish. I’m sure the nurses let out a big sigh every time they have to undo something this patient’s stupid family does to impede their work.

Thanks, I was wondering if the use of oximeters would allow people to retain their nail polish, but clearly it's not a good idea.

I've been pleasantly surprised with my popularity with the nursing staff on my hospital stays.  They've often said that they'll miss me when I leave.  I guess because I almost never complain, talk optimisticly and have a sense of humor.

[ozziemom]

My mom used to work at a large university hospital in Connecticut and her favorite story was when the patriarch of the gypsy clan was admitted. Apparently the whole extended family camped out in the lobby of the hospital. They were all over the lobby with all kinds of stuff for over a week. Reminds me of something the Rodrigues clan might do. Maybe due to Covid restrictions they can’t do that, but I can just picture it.

I think some more recent studies have shown that dark polish is not as big of a deal as once thought, but some hospitals would rather err on the side of caution. I know my surgeon made me remove mine :(
