JillR is really bold. She's purchases an expensive clock for a room she is begging others for money to build. And what sucks is, she'll likely get donations to build the freaking room. She is a Master Grifter.

I know they want to build that addition, but they estimated the cost of that to be around $15k. They got over 30k. 

Did Jill announce this fact?

She announced the projected cost of the addition when she started begging for donations to pay for it.  Jill would never admit to having received anything, especially money, from the evil government.  We calculated the amount of the stimulus check she and Shrek would have received ourselves based on the government's rules which are widely published.  

I am sure the entire stimulus check will be wasted overfilling the new living room with tchotchkes and crappy oversized furniture, all selected by Jill and paid for by the taxpayers.  Not a dime will be spent improving the lives of any of those kids.

As for Easter baskets, my parents never had two nickels to rub together, but, as each kid had their first Easter when they were old enough for candy, we got an Easter basket which was then put away after the holiday until it the bunny brought it back filled with goodies the next year.  Each basket was different and we each recognized our personal basket on sight-mine had the tallest handle!  When I came home for Easter during my freshman year of college, there was my basket, containing candy and jelly beans and also a brand new Texas Instruments calculator that I needed for school!  That bunny knew how to fill a basket.

When I look at that photo, all I can see is the top of a water heater covered with flammable junk. Are people supposed to take health advice from a woman who poses in front of a firetrap she set up in her own home? I don't know if I should laugh or cry. 

Frilly Jilly, Queen of Tacky and Trashy.

Honestly, Jill is a pretty woman. It's the inside that's ugly.

The decorated water heater is terrifying. I can't believe that this family lives in that depressing, industrial, firetrap and she's out there buying expensive, useless, enormous furniture like a grandfather clock. I feel like the world as it exists in Jill's head has zero resemblance to the actual world we all live in.

[iwantcookies]

Jill photoshops herself to death. Where is her pointy chin at??? 
 

For a godly woman she sure is a greedy person with hoarding tendencies.

I came from a large family also, and I remember individual Easter baskets.  I remember one particular year when I was maybe 9 or 10 and had made the supreme sacrifice and gave  up cookies for Lent.  Of course that was the year when a new kind of cookie came out.  I remember that they were small, round and had a brown sugar cinnamon flavor.  On Easter Sunday morning, I awoke to find a box of that very same cookie in my basket that I did not have to share with my siblings.  Needless to say, I was ecstatic!  
As years went on, for the few of us who remained at home, my mother would simply fill a big salad bowl full of nutritious chocolate eggs and jelly beans, and leave it in the kitchen table.  However, we still had our own chocolate bunny—she would write our name on the box—which she left in the communal bowl.

I wonder if Jill would even go to her neighborhood CVS or Walgreens this week to buy the half price Easter candy.  The children would really enjoy it.  I picked up some lovely Cadbury mini eggs, and other assorted goodies.

If she buys anything it’s only for herself and Shrek. Wouldn’t surprise me if the candy they got for Easter was gifted.

The "defiled by bitterness" language is straight out of Hebrews 12:15.

But I'm so fucking mad about that grandfather clock, I can't see straight.

The grandfather clock just proves what a selfish, self-centered bitch Jill truly is.  She can tell social media 24/7 about how much she loves her kids, but the fact remains that she doesn’t love anyone as much as she loves herself.  I’m not saying that she doesn’t love her children but if one had to rank the things/people that she loves, those children would be at the bottom of the list.

Does anyone know what part of their house this was taken in? Please tell me it's not their living room, it looks like a concrete subfloor underneath that rug, the walls don't have any drywall, you can see visible plumbing, and the freaking washer/dryer/water heater are right out in the open. I can't figure their house out.

It's their storage room/laundry room/living room.  It was originally part of the workshop side of their home.  The more habitable parts of the home were turned into bedrooms and hallways and extra bathrooms.  This is why Jill and Shrek need an extra 15 grand to build a living room.

A mystery is solved. I wondered how that 30 gallon in the print shop was taking care of 14 people in three bathrooms. Jill got her own water heater for the jetted tub she soaks in after a hard day's work reading about herself on social media. The kids make do with the hot water from the other tank.

I think it went the same place as the puffiness on her neck. There's a strange line of definition running down the side of her neck in the water heater photo.

The kids are def. at the bottom of her list of priorities

I'm sure one of the NotNuries will do a lovely post insisting this grandfather clock is something their mama longed for her whole life and its just a dream come true for the entire family.

My take, defiled = corrupted.

 

Went to watch the video. Jill was kneeling in front of a grandfather clock in this video. She said she got it to put in their living room when they get their addition built. 

My husband, with whom I have not shared my fundie obsession, walked by as I was reading this post. His first comment: “She looks high whoever she is.”  Then he paused and said, “Actually, she looks like (our friend) Mary on crack.” 

[ginger90]

[emma675]

JRod just HAS to mention Amy's accident every single chance she gets, doesn't she? Why does she insist on harping on it? Amy is much more than a single event or diagnosis, but Jill acts like she didn't even exist before she was injured.

[ginger90]

[Chicklet]

Wait is Jilly implying that some other human might be interested in that person she's married to? She's even more delusional than I could imagine.

[iwantcookies]

Someone bought them. 

[Chicklet]

Squeeeee earrings made with aluminum foil. Just what I wanted, not. And ugly to boot,

[iwantcookies]

Not only do these poor girls clean/cook/raise kids  all day. But also make crappy/ugly jewelry for MAMA’s wallet. Sigh. 

[iwantcookies]

I’m SEVERELY shocked that Jill DOES NOT have a P.O. Box for gifts from her 11,000 Instagram followers. I’m sure she can get some gift cards sent to her.

[iwantcookies]

Oh look 2 candles burning. Really good idea in that house 🙄🙄🙄. Hope Jill has fire insurance.

Insurance????? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

David must have done something regarding another woman and Jill had to fight for her marriage. It was hardly some "affair" but something normal like a handshake. Like anyone wants Shrek. Yuck!

Is there more to JillR's post than is posted here? I took the "fighting for your marriage" to mean, don't give up when the relationship is tough. Kind of like, all you heathens take the easy way out and get divorces.

Well could be either thing but "the other woman" idea came to mind first despite a rising gorge. And I bet David never utters a word or disagrees with crazy lady so this is just theater for Jill. You know to be kinda relatable or superior?

There were 4 of us kids - me, the oldest and 3 younger brothers.  I remember my mother (who is no mother of the year - at least after we reached puberty) and father giving us individual Easter baskets (and i got a new dress and purse - the yellow was my favorite).. with our OWN favorite candy.  I liked white chocolate then (yuk).  and i always got a white bunny and my brothers got dark.

p.s.  Lord that kid is skinny in that last JRod picture (with the second decorative water heater)

I had assumed her fight for her marriage post was because she is such a babe herself, she's turning down men left and right and only has eyes for Shrek. LOLOL

I think Jill just wants us to think that other women lust for her man. Frankly, I can't see it. Not only does he have "interesting" looks, he doesn't have a paying job and has a crazy wife and an army of dependent kids.
