If a person/family was never featured on any of the Duggar shows, and is not related to the Duggar family by blood or marriage, they do not need to be discussed here..

We may all agree that David Rodriques is quite unfortunate looking, but let's refrain from comparing human beings to apes, its got way too much of a loaded history- please review the new Inclusion Policy updated May 1, 2022 , which details guidelines around discussing body type, capabilities, physical appearance etc. Additionally, using body size as an insult is not allowed.

I agree, the accident was scary and I don't blame her for being upset about it.  It's just that her first instinct, upon arriving at the hospital ER, was to photograph her daughters lying on backboard

In what way would ANYONE other than this idjit consider vaginal birth to be 'non-conventional'.  Even in this day and age, most births are vaginal.  As to the 'little to no pain meds', once again, sou

Interesting Jill thanks Shannon, who maybe lives in Wyoming, Kaylee, Heidi's mom and grandma, but not Renee. Renee is shown in one of Jill's pics sitting in the far back corner. Kaylee is right up front next to mama.

This seemed to be someone else's plexus event and Jill sat in the front row and took pics and got a mini vacation out of it.

We blog at work (a library) and needed our pictures taken for the posts. I admit to being "softened" a bit as I looked wrinkly. I did, however, keep my nose. 

Don't worry about it. My 35-year-old son had admitted to using face-tuner on Zoom. I'm not sure why. He looks good to me.

How much was this retreat???

If it included dinner at the Rodrigueses', it was overpriced whatever it cost.

Jill's 4 down line folks at the barndo for dinner probably paid for, and cooked, the dinner to thank her for being such an amazing leader.

This post by Jill included video of David and some of the kids working in the printshop. She started by opening the door from outside and this was the view inside the door.

We have been SUPER busy in the Print Shop, getting another 250,000 Gospel Smiley Tracts done. 😊   I am SO thankful for David's and the children's hard work.   ❤️  We have enjoyed being on a rigid schedule while we are home.....  getting lots of school done and work in the Print Shop done.  It is a JOY serving Jesus together!  ✨️ 🥰

it then went on to show hardworking Dave sitting in a chair playing with rubber bands while all the children were working. I note Gabe has been promoted to the "stitching machine" with Tessie as his assistant. Maybe Sammer man will be able to at least work outside the print shop at some point.

You'd think Jill would give Lazy Davy a better edit. Maybe she's trying to tell us something.

If you're looking for something new to peruse on our favorite grifters, check out Tumblr.  This one is gold with the commentary underneath some of the pics. 

OMG! this one: 

Things Jill Rodrigues loves:

1. Patting herself on the back for making The Most Holy Children in the world

2. Making lists of the reasons everyone else is not as good as her

I guess Jill isn't going to Punta Cana. They are obviously planning their usual February Florida junket. I don't see how she can leave unless they park the RV at Nurie's and leave the kids there for the four days of the trip. 

I guess we will see for sure. I honestly don't think she is going.

I think she should go and instead of Hunk, she should take Sammer for his senior trip.😂

That girl in pants in Jill's b and b plexus photos was the lady from Wyoming's daughter. Graduated high school last year. Jill tagged her in one of the pics. She is surely too worldly for Sam. Wears not only pants, but sometimes...gasp...even shorts. Did dance team in HS etc.

Do we know if Jill even has a passport? If not, there is no way she will get one in time for this trip.

It's unknown, but there was time to apply for one and get it in time when she first learned that she could go on this trip.

Could that be the plan? Is it cheaper to fly out of FL than OH?

It's crossed my mind as well. The flights from Cleveland were EXPENSIVE. And that was with time to plan. Flight plans had to be submitted some time ago.

When Jill and Dave went on their Maine trip last year, they left the kids and the RV with church members in New Hampshire or Vermont, so it's not out of question to leave them with Nurie & Nathan for 4 days. At least the Nurthans are family and know the kids. 

I wonder if Jill applied for a passport a while back as she set a goal of moving up in Plexus, knowing that resort trips were a possibility. That would have required forethought, but Plexus and grifting (unlike the kids education and clothing) are things Jill is interested in and she does put in effort when she is interested in something.

Now that I agree on 100%. What will it be? Injury? Nurie needs her? Evil forces? 

She was pregnant with twins! Or someone stole her identity and stole all her $!

Yep queeny Jill isn’t going to DR… 

Or she re injured her severely injured knee???

I don’t know. Passport photos can’t include smiling; nor can they be filtered. Unacceptable.

I'm glad Jill thought to take away Janessa's dirty sucking rag while at the dentist's office. Fortunately, the poor child still had her thumb to comfort her since Jill probably can't manage to say much more to her than a shrill "look at the camera!" 

Jill is wearing what may be her most god-awful baseball bonnet ever, and that is a high bar to clear. She is the queen of tacky.

Jill stated in the video she had taken the 3 younger girls to the dentist. Whether Sadie and Sofia actually had their teeth cleaned, or were just dragged along, we don't know since only "baby Janessa" had pics shown.

Search of Jill's fb posts about dentists brings up only 3 posts.

2017 in WV -Jill took the "10 older children" to get their teeth cleaned and Jill got a cavity filled. She named the dentist, so a SEVERE discount or freebie most likely.

The Sam, Renee and Kaylee girl's wisdom teeth removal videos where Jill films them when they a loopy from anesthesia.

Baby Janessa, almost 6, first dentist visit.

The 3 older girls, and now Tessie, have certainly had braces. Sammer had the imitation invisalign, which Jill claimed if you used their name as a referral they got some amount of credit.

I hope for “baby” Janessa’s sake, they didn’t find a mouthful of cavities that now need filling.  With the poor nutrition they receive, and what I’m guessing aren’t great brushing habits, their teeth are probably a mess.  Janessa should have had her first dentist appt quite a few years ago.

I know opinions vary, but one of my grandsons turned 1 in October and has had his first dental appointment already. 

My oldest is now in his 40s.  I don’t remember exactly,  but I am sure that he went to the dentist by age 3.  Even back then it was recommended. I  worked for a company that had group dental.  Things like that were why I did work for them. Jill and David probably just have Medishare.

Just had to get one misplaced comma in.  Jill must read here.  Only two commas in the whole post.  The sentences are shorter, too.  Jill must have taken a lot of care when she wrote this one.
