I thought the original bathroom was in the house and the laundry and half bath are in the addition. There is no room at all for a bath upstairs, because of the eaves and the three rooms. Well maybe a half bath or 3/4 one.

IMO, that house doesn't even have good bones, is in pretty rough shape and very cut up. It would take a lot of work to make any serious profit off it when they sell. I think they would have to put a bathroom upstairs and make a bedroom suite, with a nursery nook and turn the downstairs into an open concept, with a bathroom/laundry room and it would make a good starter home.

If I were them, I'd only do cosmetic work and sell as soon as the market improves.

This was hilarious. Jill slid the door open like she was one of Barker’s Beauties. Jonathan stood there frozen with that rictus grin until Jill grabbed him by the shoulder and forced him inside. Renee and Kaylee just babbled rehearsed Jill-isms in that weird breathy Little Edie Bouvier accent they all have. I think Jill just dumped all the leftover crap from her parents’ house onto the newlyweds. She even put up some of that cheap old pink paper artwork in the thin gold frames that people used to put in their powder rooms in the 80s. The thrift stores are full of them.

SHE 👏 DOES 👏 EXACTLY 👏 WHAT 👏 SHE 👏 IS 👏 JUDGING 👏 ABOUT!!!!!  Jill, if you are reading this, I will go back and pull alllllll of the photos you have posted with you posing sexually and post them here.  The photo of the Plexus bag inbetween your teeth and your eyes half-closed like you are in ecstasy. The pic of you mouthing a bottle of that pink sludge.  The multitude of shots with your lips half-puckered and eyes half closed.  The only thing you DON’T do is pose in what you call a “mini skirt”.  But there are PLENTY of pics of you floating out there online in wet clothing at the beach.  But it’s OK because everything is “covered”.  I’m a relatively modest-dressing woman and would NEVER wear a thin, clingy-when-wet maxi skirt or top to the beach. Ever hear of a wet t-shirt contest?!?  Ask your stud muffin. He can fill you in, I’m sure. But I digress. If I need to explain the innuendo behind your pictures, and the sheer irony of your rant, I would be more than happy to. Until then, God gave us all beautiful bodies and they need to be celebrated as His creation and not something to hide in the name of feigned modesty.  Guaranteed a man will look at a woman he finds attractive no matter WHAT she is wearing.  Hell, women look at men, too.  Personally, I think my boyfriend looks hot in a button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up and jeans. Hubba hubba.  But again, I digress.  The moral here, Jill, is to stop throwing rocks at those glass houses.  You are NOT the person you think you are by judging others. Only God can do that. And I think he doesn’t really care what people wear. Or how they show their bodies.  Be a real Christian and love everyone.  The Jesus you believe in is NOT the Jesus you think he is.  

Yaaaass men who wear their button downs with sleeves rolled up are sexxxyy. I don’t know why but it’s so attractive when guys wear button downs with ties.

Absolutely.  And uniforms.  I am a sucker for a man in uniform.  Impure thoughts abound!  🤣🤣🤣🤣  But that is what is so stupid about what they think. Jill, women are JUST as capable of eyeing up a man.  Even IF the man is covered neck to toe. But they don’t have to be as covered, like you proclaim women need to be. A lot of us can get all riled up looking at a man in a military/police/fire uniform.  Or a suit and tie.  And you don’t get more covered up than that.

Jill writes like Pat will read her post. Pat's in very bad condition, worse than before. I'm glad that she's going to rehab rather than home this time. Tim the Original can't take care of her now, maybe not ever. This is playing out a lot like my mother's trajectory. She had a long stay in rehab, home for a month and had her third stroke. She lingered for two weeks in the hospital before she passed away.

For those of you wondering, yes there are pictures. I haven't seen them because the people on Fundie snark on Reddit have more decency than Jill fucking Rodrigues has about her mother's condition. 

I hope the walking down the aisle at her grand daughter's wedding was worth it 😔

I saw the pictures of Ma N. She actually looks good. Other than the hospital bed, she looks much better than her prognosis.

Once again could Jill be distorting Ma's situation to increase donations to the GFM?  I wouldn't put anything past her.  Tis the season to be grifty!

I agree with you, I thought Ma looked really good in the new hospital pictures.  We all know that Jill is a drama queen who exaggerates everything.  She’s probably gearing up to beg for donations again.

I find it interesting Jill's dad, the ever faithful husband, best husband the hospital people had ever seen because he was there everyday, etc, was able to leave mom to be at Jill's on thanksgiving, after mom had a stroke and took 10 steps backwards in her progress.....

It’s obvious that forcing ma to walk down the aisle injured her tremendously. Broken hip is no joke.

She is definitely more comfortable in a hospital setting than laying in a hospital bed in the living room where everyone is walking by and disturbing her peace.

Let's just hope this hospital stops the Rodrigues circus from invading.   Ma probably looks better because she has peace and quiet instead of Jill shrieking at her she needs to walk down the aisle at Kaylee's wedding and then "fixing" her hair which probably messed with the shunt.

Hopefully BME will be so busy decorating at the Barndo and getting ready for Nurthan Christmas visit she won’t have time to dash off to Ma’s bedside. JillR only makes time for Ma when it’s in JillR’s interest, either for grifting or sad posts ie JillR just feels like flopping on her bed & weeping. Once again it’s all about her.

In all realistic fairness, Pa Turtleneck probably did spend part of Thanksgiving day with Ma.  I’m going to venture a guess and say that she is in the ICU dealing not only with her latest stroke, but with a fractured hip that is still healing AND the multitude of other issues that are still very much present.  So limits on visiting hours.  The poor guy looks tired and worried in the dinner pic.  I do feel badly for him.  I wonder if he is staying at the barndo or if Jill has not offered him the spare room because of precious Nurie coming home in a month?

Or maybe Pa is sane and doesn't want to stay in the barndo with 11 kids and all that mess.

Upstairs un heated attic with no bathroom sounds great for Pa Turtleneck lol. Not.

Kaylee has a guest room too. Like Jill's, it's not near a bathroom either. It may or may not have adequate heat, but Designer and Decorator Jill loves electric heaters if they look like fireplaces.

I have no problem with Pa being at the barndo for thanksgiving.  I was only pointing out Jill's previous over the top dad as best godly husband ever posts.

No idea how they got Ma down the aisle, but the telling picture of ma's condition at the wedding for me was in the pic of the entire Noyes clan up by the altar, all posed looking at J&K kissing and ma is staring right straight ahead at the camera. No one even thought to turn her chair in the right direction or anything. Same with the reception. The pics of everyone entering and no one turned ma's chair so she could see this. She was probably exhausted by then. But i think she is more disconnected and has made less progress than Jill would have us believe when the miracle walk down the aisle idea came about.

Surely this hardship for ma will soon be turned to be an attack by satan against Jill and her godly family.

I'm still not sure the wedding had anything to do with her fall.

I've spent a lot of time in the hospital setting and don't find them peaceful at all. Seeing as Ma & Pa live alone, I'm going to guess its much quieter there than in the hospital.

Considering this was Michigan week and the game was at OSU, there was no peace and quiet anywhere near that hospital all week.  At least until the 4th quarter.  It's probably been pretty quiet since, though.

I say this having attended THE Ohio State University and living on campus or its immediate vicinity for 7 football seasons.

Do Ma and Pa live in Ohio? I thought they lived in West Virginia, near Severely Crippled daughter Amy and the other two, non-Jill, somewhat normal daughters. 

Their home in West Virginia is not far from Ohio and the big medical centers in Columbus get a lot of patient transfers from hospitals there.  We used to get a lot of transfers of trauma patients as well as complicated pregnancies from West Virginia back when I was a resident in the '80's.  Still very common today.

I am certain that Ma walking up the aisle at the wedding was Jill's desire, not Ma's. Nothing wrong with Ma opting out of the wedding as it would be too much stimulation for the woman. Jill's agenda is what counts; not what her mother needs.

Justin and Kristen Nicole Young have built a house with a lot of acreage that easily costs $2,000,000+ and that’s not counting all of the new furniture/furnishings that they’ve purchased to go in it.  How???  How does a man, who manages automatic car washes, has a wife who doesn’t work and has 4 kids, afford that?

Just wanted to talk about the bolded stuff. I agree. I suppose there's no one "right" way for a family to respond to a medical situation such as Jill's mother is in. I'm not advocating for a passive attitude, and I know there's a lot to be said for an optimistic activist approach on the part of the patient's nearest and dearest.

But at least as expressed by JillR, there seems to be so much denial and obstinate "God and Jesus will cure her!! We'll show the world a miracle because Jesus loves us best!" stuff going on. Not, "we know this is serious stuff, and we're going to work with ma's docs and nurses and rehab therapists to help her recover as best she can." Just "we're gonna pray to Jesus and have a miracle and fix ma up with makeup and hair products no matter what. Oh, my poor mother, I'm so upset by her medical problems, and by the way there's a GoFundMe to help with the dire and drastic money situation!" No it's not logical. A combo of "oh how tragic" and "oh poor Mom, I'm so upset" and "we're praying to Jesus for a miracle and by the way he loves us best which you can see because she walked down the aisle at a wedding." AARGH.

And OMG, the "miracle" walk down the aisle. Because, every bride's grandmother is spozed to walk down the aisle at her wedding? What's the big effing deal how grandma gets to her seat as long as she's there when the ceremony starts? Sheesh. Sure, it's nice to see grandma escorted to her seat on the arm of a handsome young usher or her own husband, but FFS I just don't see how it's such a big deal as Jill was making of it. Let the woman be comfortable so she can enjoy the wedding instead of being put on display. I'm not convinced it was Ma who was fixated on that "aisle walk" anyway; I think it was more Jill than anyone else. 

IMO Ma's well-being and comfort takes a back seat to JillR's need to show off.

I think it was ALL Jill who wanted her to walk down the aisle.  Jill is not just a narcissist; she’s a dangerous narcissist.

 Jill lives in a fantasy reality tv show / soap opera of her own creation. Look at my Hunk and our wonderful Godly traveling RV family life. Oh look we live in Amish country isn’t it a wonderful life ?

My wonderful hunk is such a hard working provider for our family. He even fixes our RV. And he takes me out on wonderful date nights just the 2 of us. Blah blah blah.

and I sell plexus and my wonderful hubster lets me and approves of me making income. 

Are you all jealous???
