One of the RHWOMC, Lydia, is having her bridal shower tomorrow. She is marrying Trace Bates. It'll be interesting to see if Joy and Abbie go and if there will be any full shots of Joy. She looked very pregnant in a pic of her in her home and also looked to be hiding her mid-section in another video.

I didn't realize Trace was part of Medicscam. I thought he took over Chad's construction company and changed the name to Bates Construction.

Oh you're right. I think I'm mixing her up with Nathan's wife!

Easy mistake. Both tall blondes who have to wear flats so as not to be taller than their men.

Exactly.

[farmgal4]

On Jill’s FB story she’s showing off her new manicure and says, “Ready for vacation”.  I guess they’re Florida bound, on the poor sucker’s dimes.  Anyone who gives a penny to these lazy liars ought to have their head examined!

[galaxygirl76]

What happened to bringing the staff treats? Instead they get the brimstone and fire talk. 

[GeeGolly]

Huh, timing is everything.

JillR likely held off telling her followers Ma N was being transferred to try to keep the money coming in, but felt she had to share it now since they're going off on vacation.

If I were staff at that hospital, I would so want her and all of the circus around her, out of there!

Let’s hope the suckers are not Nathan and Nurie.  How about not going on vacation and using that money to help her parents? Jill is a worthless POS and I hope there’s an awakening about the grift and they are dropped from any financial support.

She'll get some blowback for this and will have to do damage control. Watch for the next post: "My Dad told David that my constant devotion to my Precious Mom and the long grueling hours I've spent at her bedside have driven me to the point of exhaustion and that for the good of my mental and physical health, David must take me away for some much-needed rest and recuperation. I did not want to go and they had to literally DRAG me away from her bedside before I could finish styling what was left of her BEAUTIFUL hair! I am slowly getting my strength back, despite the pain that has flared up in my SEVERELY injured knee (which I'm sure you will all remember) My heart is still with her and what a blessing it would be to return to the hospital and find that y'all have continued to send her your prayers and contributions in my absence! God is sooo Good!"

[BradandJanet]

But Jill claims that she and David work so very hard and deserve their vacations.  

Her mother's burst aneurysm, the Ohio derecho storm emergency, high gas prices, Phillip's college expenses, Kaylee's wedding, their underfed children, etc. are no reason for the Rods not to spend money to get Jill to her restaurant meals, shopping, and tourist attractions and David to the beach so he can ogle young women while complaining how skimpy their bathing suits are. 

A vacation will also give Jill some time to concoct a story about how she brought a nice nurse to the lord named Abigail. 

At least, we can consider the Rods' absence a gift to the staff taking care of Ma Noyes.

I cannot imagine having to work around massless (auto correct, I meant maskless, but that works too), caterwauling Rods, judging my life (which is being used to keep their precious grandma alive) and then manoeuvre around a large box telling me I'm going to Hell. Frankly, I'd be on my two knees thanking God, Satan, The Flying Spaghetti Monster and the idiots funding the incessant Jill-a-palooza, that they're heading off to vacation. For the sake of us all, hopefully they will wander off to the Bermuda Triangle and never come back. 

[merylinkid]

Yeah ICU is not the place for their proselytizing.   Just ugh.

A vacation from WHAT Jill, constant SM posting?   This grift being too much hard work since it is not resulting in instant cash?

they put all that stuff up, knowing it was temporary.    These people have no forethought at all.   It's all just live for today.   Which is very unbiblical (You know not the time I will come, so always be prepared).

Of course she works hard grifting is hard work 😅

[Insert Username]

So she couldn’t get a pretty box from Hobby Lobby and have printmaster David print a proper sign? Honestly, her half-assed approach to everything offends me as much as her grifting and proselytizing (I am a Christian, but my religion does not evangelize. We are more “hey, we are just hanging out, eating kielbasa and pierogi, and waiting for you to come to us.”)

I have a feeling that the hospital staff will manage to 'misplace' the sign and the box when transferring Mama to rehab. Personally, I'd ask if I could take a whole stack of pamphlets to share with family and friends and then dump them in the recycling bin in the nurses' station.  

If I was feeling really feisty, I'd let Jill know that I said a Rosary for her mother and ask if she'd like one for herself.  Or leave one at Mama's bedside. Maybe offer to recite a Hail Mary or two with her.

Now someone has to clean the walls and we know it won't be Jill and company.  That adhesive residue has to go.

Don’t forget about Phillip’s car!  Wasn’t she begging for donations for that too?  She’s got one helluva racket going, I’ll give her that.  She and GWE’s are getting donations for cars, a house, schooling, bills, gas, vacations, food, etc. and neither one of them have to lift a finger.  I’ve never seen anything like it.  The suckers who are donating are most likely living paycheck to paycheck, pinching pennies for food/gas/bills and probably haven’t had a nice vacation in years, if ever.  Jill and David are judgmental, holier-than-thou crooks who’ve been running this scam for years and getting by with it with no repercussions.  Karma needs to pay both of them a SEVERE visit!

[BradandJanet]

Don't the Rods usually sing their way to Florida and then tour northern Florida with Nurie and Nemo joining them? Nathan's job gives him an excuse to miss the fun, lucky guy. I'm wondering how Nurthan's move will affect Jill's Florida trips, if at all.

Jill was begging for a free vacation house a while back. She didn't mention if she found a kind Christian sucker to give her one. It's going to be miserable with all of them sleeping in the stink van in the heat. I guess Jill and David have skimmed enough money off of Ma's donations to afford a hotel room for themselves. The kids will be able to cool off and pollute the hotel pool with their modest denim swimwear, at least.

Orthodox?

[BradandJanet]

Jill and David's "job" might be likened to mob shakedowns--do what we ask or expect another visit. And the next time will involve caterwauling and untuned violins.

Do we know where Nurthan is planning to move yet?

It's thought that they're moving closer to the church. They currently live about half an hour away. The church apparently owns a couple properties adjacent to the church property, so they might be moving to one of those

Jill got her nails done and is going on vacation. A vacation from what? 

Grifting and bossing her kids around?

She is probably off to Florida.

[Salacious Kitty]

I got a new phone, and I am locked out of Instagram. I didn't see anything about vacation on FB. Can someone please provide screenshots?

The Rods may be surprised. Matthew has 7:22 and 23" Many will say on that day, ' Lord , Lord have we not prophesied in Your name cast, out demons in Your name and done many wonders in  Your name?" And then I will declare to them " I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness. "

The hospital staff were probably fighting over who got to be the one to get rid of this crap.  And I would love it if on her way out the door, Jill saw the entire carton and its contents being dumped in the recycling bin.

My kid has therapy at the children's hospital in town(Iowa) and we have to wear a mask to get into the building. 

I had an EEG/EEK (? whichever one is for the brain) last week and the hospital has masks and sanitizer in the foyer. Anyone skipping the masks gets given one by the security guard in the lobby and/or asked to leave. And this is North Central Idaho were 75% of the people think COVID is not real.

[YupItsMe]

I saw pics earlier tonight, maybe on IG, of the girls canoeing in muddy water wearing their long denim skirts of course. She said the boys were playing paintball. I don’t believe she mentioned where they are.

I just wonder why new nails and a vacation were more important than donating that money to Mom & Dad?

oh, and there were some very close up pics of Janessa’s mouth as she sang…

I am a bitch.  This Sunday I dedicated the Sunday mass to Jillybean and family and it is going to be about hell and I  had to find her address because our church sends out about a mass in your name.

In one of the kayaking pictures, Sadie is standing on the creek bank next to a docked kayak.  Can someone take a screenshot of her standing there and post it here, please?  I’ve never seen a child that emaciated. 😓

[merylinkid]

"Hey everyone we need money for a car, and gas and my mom, and just life but our boys went to play paintball while on vacation."   Unless it is part of the amenities (which would be unusual) paintbal is not free.   It's actually one of the pricier things you can do.   But of course the boys had to do something manly like go shoot things.

[BradandJanet]

Last week, I had an endoscopy. I had to go in the building by myself masked and take another mask to show I had been Covid screened at the door. I wore the masks during the intake and prep, and took them off only just before I was taken to the procedure room. Mask went on again in recovery. No one was taking chances. No one was breaking the rules. 

Jill might want to be more discreet about showing off her expensive vacation activities after two months of crying poor. However, showing off is at the core of her existence, so I'm sure there will be photos of restaurants, shopping trips, hotels, swimming pools, theme parks, boat rides, etc. It's nice that the kids get to have some fun in their sad lives, not as much fun as BME and GWE, but something; however, Mama's Internet bragging can't be doing her public grift any good. The Gofundme seems pretty close to dead, so who knows what she's scheming up now.

Nuri, with her barely there bump, is with them. Wherever they are has a pool, but the swamp they're kayaking in looks like mud. Where could they be? Don't FL swamps have alligators?

The Rods like to torment the people who run campgrounds, so they could be parked in a camping area. The inside of the stink bus must feel like an oven. Are the kids washing their clothes in the swimming pool while wearing them? 

Even alligators have standards. There's no use chasing bony kids, and the meaty Hunk isn't about to squeeze himself into a canoe.
