The stuffed dogs at the vacation house look like Jill’s dog! 

[Salacious Kitty]

House is empty with Timbits in his own place. I guess that means the guinea pigs didn't make it. 😢

Yes, she was holding Snuggles in a baby carrier. 

Was this newborn premie Gideon's actual baby carrier and she put her freaking dog in it or did she grift one for the dog so she could wear a carrier around with Nurie (and Kaylee)?

TIJWTA. So, who knows whose carrier it is?

Jill wants a baby so she and her daughters can be moms/besties. Very unsettling for her to not be having blessings with her hunk.

[BradandJanet]

My thoughts:

1. The Plexus convention in Nashville counts as a vacation. The pink cowgirl getup makes it so. 

2. Is the Rods' cat still around? Does it have to stalk and catch its own food like the Rodlets do?

3. Somebody named Nathan or Jonathan paid for the latest Airbnb.

4. Hunk will end up as a display in that weird Airbnb. No one in the family will notice because they're used to his not moving.  

5. ChatGPT is mining Jill's social media posts for language data, eventually bringing all human and artificial intelligence on earth to an end.

As a retired NICU RN, I can state that there were many babies that I hated to see go home with their "parents". Unfortunately, nurses know crazy.   In some cases, it was very interesting to see both the baby's father and the mom's boyfriend at the crib at the same time.  Or the mom with mental issues that was allowed to take her baby home and then forgot to feed her and she starved to death. We knew what the home life would be, but were powerless to do anything.  I'm sure the nursing staff felt the same about Gideon.  They know how crazy this family is, but without any proof of neglect there is nothing they can do.  It is a hard part of the job.

Carrying a dog in the baby's carrier would not surprise me at all.

I don't think they have had a cat since they sold the one they had before moving to the RV full time.

That is the last cat I remember. They also sold a goldfish.

Definitely. It’s only August, so there’s plenty of time this year to start more blessings!

[GeeGolly]

JillR is going to turn into one of those ladies who starts carrying one of her many newly acquired Reborn Dolls everywhere she goes. All her tchotchkes will be replaced with doll sized furniture and dolls - a highchair in one corner, a bassinet in another, a stroller by the back door, crib bunks in the baby closet/nook. All the Christmas stockings will be replaced with her babies' stockings. She'll have one hysterical pregnancy after another. And everyone in the family will have to go along with it.

I thought her favorite part of vacations was the nightly devotions led by the men. 

What a phony. Jill lives for dining out, shopping, and taking pictures of herself. Anytime, anywhere, with anybody. Period. 

[Meow Mix]

I know her boobs were front and center in that one picture, but did anyone besides me notice the extreme filtering?  She doesn't even remotely look like that.  She looks like she's made of plastic in that picture.  DBD and her kids should save that one.  If she ever goes missing, they can give that to the police and they will never find her.

Someone has to stay with Shrek and the other menfolk in case they need a snack or something. Plus I don’t see Nemo or Newby so Tessie  must be taking care of them . You know Nathan is too busy prepping devotions or goofing around in the lake to take care of his own spawn.

Or maybe Nathan is wailing to God.  Apparently according to Jill he does that all the time.  That just sounds really disturbing to me.

[smallfry]

So does "vacation" mean she is not on a grifting and singing tour? As far as I am concerned they are one in the same.

[merylinkid]

"I love this family of mine so much."

Kinda like how she proclaims how much she loved DBD.   She hates her family.   She hates having so many kids she is expected to care for.   She hates that they don't do enough for her.    

 

[GeeGolly]

I love my family too. And most of the time I even like them. But you know who I tell that to? I tell it to them, them, I tell it to them.

Anyway besides grifting Jill has nothing to say unless its Plexus, FU-ing the internet, shading the 'unsaved', Jesus, grandkids and kids.

So far her vacation posts have been FU internet - ONCE a year vacation, feeding kids, grocery shopping to feed kids.

Lets see if she addresses proper foot wear and appropriate clothing - size, weather, activity, letting the kids have fun without her and maybe buying her kids souvenirs and not her. And of course more food.

[oliviabenson]

I’m sure Jill will just drag Kaylee and her kids on her grifting tours. She needs new little kids for grifting.

She needs more music instruction for her teens on the grifting tour. They currently sound terrible. Definitely NOT making a joyful noise unto the Lord. 

[oliviabenson]

Jill can make a ton of $ selling CDS featuring Philip reading anything. Philip has a monotone that would put an insomniac to sleep.

Well, you know she had to take Nurie and Kaylee to pay for the groceries.

ETA: and the lunch, and coffee, and ice cream, and whatever presents they insist on buying for her.

Yeah, Jill's love language is definitely gifts. I've never seen anyone get so much for doing so little.

I think Jill saw the movie Barbie and thinks she Jill is as hot as Barbie 🤣

And it’s a mating call to her hubster hunk

[ginger90]

It was Jill, Renee, Kaylee, Gideon and Janessa out to eat before going grocery shopping. They went to Panera Bread. Jill pointed out, “Kaylee has her baby with her and I have my baby with me.”.

[xwordfanatik]

That tiny baby just out of the hospital needs to be home, not traveling all over creation.  Grow a spine, Jonathan (and Kaylee!) and tell Mimi the Narcissist to shove it!  

Of course, they won't.  They take "honor thy mother and thy father" to the stratosphere, and they're never going to be free of them.

[oliviabenson]

And Jonathan and Nathan probably paid for everything… the hotel, the food etc. Jill and Dave only brought luggage and their appetite.

How could I forget!! Jill mentioned they were at Panera Bread and turned the camera on her and we got the standard, yessssss.

I wonder how Timothy escaped the mandatory family vacation?  Perhaps he has a real job and is expected to be at work.  It would be nice to think he actually chose responsibility over mom's commands!

I have a slightly different perspective. What if Nathan and Jonathan are watching the map?  Deeply enthralled in an episode of Andy Griffith?  Also, they were less than 30 minutes from my home. Scary, I could eventually run into the Rods one day.  😟

Nah. Jill panned the room in this video, and the map was turned off.

I doubt Jonathan has any money after Gideon being in the hospital almost a month and Kaylee and he being there with him.   Even if he had insurance, there were still plentv of expenses.  It’s also possible that Kaylee gave birth in a hospital that was out of network.  Same with Gideon’s hospital stay.

I hope that poor little guy doesn't suffer any consequences from his parent's poor judgement.  I agree, they should be home and not propping up Jill's ego.

Living in ohio only a half hour away I frequent amish country quite often, every time I am there whether it be in a shop or a restaurant I am looking for the rods 🤣🤣 could have sworn I saw Samuel at mrs yoders kitchen last time then I realized no way he would be out alone away from the crazy family 🤣🤣🤣

Spelling is important

[BradandJanet]

And one could even argue that JIll's feet are front and center. However, she needs to take off those strange sandals and show her pedicure and foot jewelry to get the total effect.

Mahmo loves to show off her feet’s…

Taboo isn’t a dirty game. You draw a card that has a word listed on top.  Then there’s a few words listed underneath.  The goal is to get your team to guess the word from the top of the card without using any of the words listed below. 

[crazy8s]

Oh I know, but after seeing them play charades, the rods trying to play Taboo with their limited vocabulary would be something to see.

Surely Jill would have to look through all the cards first too.
