Apparently, tapeworm spread is possible too. All Jill needs is a dead tapeworm in her brain.

I'm sure it's gross sales. She said earlier today that she's up to $700. And per FJ, 22 sales.

That seems like an awful lot of work for such a small amount of profit (I'm guessing her take home isn't $700 since I'm sure the site she sells on takes a cut, shipping costs money, the IRS wants their cut, etc). Jill could work part time at McDonald's and come away with more money.

It would probably go hungry.

If she got a "haul" for 35 dollars she went to the Goodwill bins, where clothing is rolled out in big containers and sold by the pound. It's supposedly what didn't sell in the regular stores. There are numerous resellers on YouTube with videos of their adventures at the bins. Hint: most of the locations have a survival of the fittest, dog eat dog environment.

Yeah Jill wouldn't last five minutes at the bins. LOL.  The ones in my area are pretty tame, but I've been to the ones in Denver and Los Angeles and it is NOT for the faint of heart!  if she did go, i'm sure we'd have gotten a video of some soul saving that absolutely did not happen.

"Cream of Wheat Boutique." Nice work, @laurakaye

I wonder what vermin came with that truckload of whatever Dave hauled home. I guess for $35, some hapless buyer will find out. 

I vaguely remember Jill talking about an incident when Nurie and Kaylee were young and the Rods were staying in a hotel. Late at night (because Jill is up at all hours), Jill claimed she saw a bedbug and had all the kids get up and go out in hall to sing and pray while Jill called the manager.The manager didn't find anything, but Jill insisted on going to another hotel. I don't know if she managed to get a refund.

Yet, she brings hauls of thrift-shop leftovers into the barndo. If there's an infestation, she won't be able to talk about it because it will hurt sales.

They got A hotel room and "settled all 14 of their beds".

Manic Jill dragged them all through walmart at midnight and then allowed nothing into the house until she inspected it

Aren't there guest limits in hotel rooms?

Jill doesn't get any money when we click on those blog links, does she?  Because most of them are new to me and I can't help myself.  I sure don't want to be responsible for sending $1.07 her way or something.

Finally, Jill makes baklava? In what universe? The ingredients are expensive and the preparation takes time. Jill doesn't spend enough time in a kitchen to know how to make anything. And how many times have the kids eaten baklava in their lives to know that Mama's is the best?

She didn't say what she spent at her haul, she just mentioned going on one 

As for the baklava I also call bullshit. Jill is not investing the time needed to create layers of phyllo and filling. No how, no way.

Jill looks unwell and unwashed. She looks her age.

Jill does not care. She gets the bed. The kids sleep on the floor.

I won't even walk barefoot on a hotel carpeted floor and her kids sleep on it. Yuck.

No, she doesn’t, along with her YouTube it’s not monetized.

OMG is she 90? Sugar diabetes? Did she even pronounce it correctly? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I didn't hear how Jill pronounced it, but the phrase "sugar diabetes" is a blast from the past for me. My long-deceased grandparents in the rural midwest (and that generation in that place) used that term. One of my dad's cousins had Type 1 diabetes so the disease was known and discussed in the family. To this day, one of my older cousins (who is in her 80's, LOL) will sometimes say "sugar diabetes" although she's well aware that's not what it's called these days.

I missed the beginning but see it now. Jill knew she needed to do something because both her grandmothers had sugar diabetes. So she needed something "so she would not get it or have many years before she got it" 🤦‍♀️

If her grandparents had type 2 diabetes, she could have it too. Jill and Davy should both get checked.

While you're checking, Jill, have someone look at your neck. You are not the picture of health you think you are, and there's probably a real treatment available.

Phillip has been spotted at the barndo!!! He's in the background celebrating Sadie's birthday. The Turtlenecks are also there, so it can be assumed that Phillip came with them.

It sounds like she’s 1930s Louisiana or something. Sugar diabeetus. I’m very sensitive on this topic because my son is type 1. My husband’s family are all t type 2’s. No one is overweight or eats badly. Father and two sisters. If it’s in her genes, it’s in her genes. She needs to see a doctor about going low-carb and figuring out what else to do to try and keep it at bay. My husband is the only one without it, but I have always cooked very healthy, low carb meals for him. Exercise is also very important.

I can’t believe she didn’t filter the heck out of that video! She does look really dirty, dark circles under her eyes, and major frown lines in her forehead. Sorry Jill, you’re starting to look like one of your before pictures. 
 

I just watched the birthday video. It’s a very small cake for a lot of people. Philip is spotted in the back looking completely miserable. Tessie somehow is completely gorgeous. She’s not wearing a lot of make up, and her eyebrows almost look like they were professionally done. I remember at one point when her eyebrows were standing out kind of black. It’s sad to think what her future will be because she is so pretty. She looks a lot like Jessa Duggar. Not that pretty matters more than anything else that the girls are.

sorry, I keep noticing new things! Renee is modeling a very boring outfit. The weird thing is it’s a long black skirt, yet she still has long leggings on underneath it. Sam is also looking completely miserable next to his pilgrim wife to be. He’s just staring at the cake and thinking about a world with that winner.

Phillip physically looks really good IMO!  He also looks like he’s completely over it already.  He looked like he would rather be anywhere but there.  I wish he could get a really good job and a nice place to live so that he could tell his parents to go to hell!
