Not sure where to put this.......

 

I’m not shocked, but what the heck?

Well she did put utensils in a drawer. 🙀

Yeah, that’s some pretty lame “organizing.”

She has bins for the pantry.  I would imagine she will get around to it eventually.  But she has a LOT of stuff there.  I always tried to purge before a move, but I never moved just after giving birth.  Alyssa did sound really tired.

[GeeGolly]

Moving with a newborn is tough. We moved with a 2 year old and a newborn during the weeks in between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I feel for Alyssa, because she still has a lot left to get done.

Too bad mr Caldwell can’t string a coherent sentence together!

[Lady Edith]

I’m absolutely shocked that there are no Nurie updates. No fruit comparison pictures.  I wanna know if the Baby nurthan is currently the size of a cherry or a plumb!

[Gweilo]

Baby Nurthan is exactly the same size as a bottle of whatever Plexus crap Jill is trying to flog this month.

She's vacationing at a Florida shore house with the Kellers. She appears to be just fine.

I think I found a family that is worse than the Duggars as far as covid and maybe one step below the Rods. The Busbys. They've basically whined since the beginning of what an imposition the virus has been. They've taken multiple vacations and last night they were shown at a farm Fall festival in October mingling with oodles of folks, no mask in sight. Then they had a crowd of folks gathering together on Halloween.

Meanwhile the mom is complaining about and being tested for a host of medical symptoms. Symptoms that sound like "long covid" to me.

On second thought maybe the Duggars are just as bad, but at least they took it somewhat seriously for the first month or two.

After all these months, I was surprised at how angry the Busby's cavalier attitude made me. I want this virus gone.

[Portia]

They wear froofy fake corsages. At a women's retreat. Okay. 

[BradandJanet]

Wonder who the guest speakers are this year. They're usually Jill's relatives. Maybe Anna Duggar will make an appearance (ha, ha). 

The corsage making must be this week's lesson at the Rodrigues Family Academy homeschool.

Is that the same family that whitened their elementary school-age kids' teeth? They have a "reality" show?

The parents really are awful. Very, very entitled and hung up on themselves and their kids. Much better parents than the Gosselins, but that bar is way low.

What's their backstory? 

Khate and Jawn didn't look like such awful parents at the beginning. Neither did the Duggars...

Parents of a singleton who gave birth to all female quints. Originally from LA, near where the hurricanes recently hit. Now live in TX.

The show started out when the kids were babies and they were struggling a wee bit financially, but now, since the show, they're well off. The quints are 5.

Sounds like Gosselin 2.0. Let me guess, they used fertility treatments but then "left it up to gawd."

Those are the nails of a nine year old. A nine year old with no taste.

Well she's stuck in that age range, so it fits.

[iwantcookies]

Looks like Janessa did her nails. This retreat is going to be so tacky!

I hope she posts lots of pics

[CouchTater]

And her cuticles are nasty.

Good news print shop Daniel got saved! (From ever seeing the Rods again)

[BradandJanet]

I was thinking about how much worse Jill's tacky nails will look by the time the retreat begins, but I remembered she doesn't do housework, garden work, child care, or any other type of labor that might disturb her manicure--such as it is.   

Meanwhile, the Hunky Hulk is out spending the kids' stimulus money on new equipment for the non-income-producing palace of print.

Which retreat would you rather attend: Jillcatraz or Austin’s?

At least with JillRod's, you don't have to bring your own bedding. 😁

Timmay’s camper in the backyard would be the place to go when the printer is fired up.  Could not imagine the noise when it is clunking away next to the “family” area.

I used to work in a print shop. Those suckers are LOUD.

That machine must have set them back a few rescue checks.

Because religious assholes grab onto 9/11 in inappropriate ways.

They’re still incredibly upset about the 3000 Americans that died on 911, but don’t care about the 540,000 that have died in the past year 🥵.

Hopefully with the new folder they won’t be making their kids fold their creepy pamphlets anymore.

My guess is the photo was taken at the auction site in New York.  It is still pretty common to see photos of the towers in that area.  Although that still doesn't explain why the kid is shoeless...

[madpsych78]

Damn. Timbits does look like Kiefer Sutherland in Lost Boys!
