Shrek hasn’t been that skinny since 1985... I know it’s a paper figurine but it’s not to scale. 

Is she wearing a purity ring?

 

Sadie lost her front teeth MANY months ago.  I seriously think she’s so malnourished that she has no permanent teeth. 😢

[BigBingerBro]

And how often do those kids bathe?  Their hair always looks rather greasy

Maybe its actually Priscilla's idea and a brilliant one at that. She tells David God laid it in her heart and she gets David's undistracted help with the kids for an hour and needs to make one less meal. 

 I think David's response would be "Honey, it doesn't count unless God lays it on MY heart first!"

She is rather plump ! She is gaining all the weight her kids are losing 😞. 
 

Jill always looks like a raccoon what else is new. 
 

She didn’t even take 1 kid with them to eat. Shouldn’t they all have celebrated Shrek’s birthday together? Pizza party at home perhaps.

Maybe she is taking fertility pills to get her miracle twins/triplets. Or she is already pregnant. Jill needs another baby friend/accessory to prove she is still capable of birthing kids. 

 

Todd/Tom/Toby need to be born soon!

Once a week?

I doubt Jill bathes often either. Look at her face and gross extensions...

I'm pretty sure there are a couple of adult teeth coming in there. It's just that she has inherited Shrek's tooth gap, and the space between those two teeth is about equal to the size of the teeth themselves.

I think Peter is one now.Prissy should be pregnant again,any day now.If she isn't already.

She's about to surpass sister Anna in no. of kids.She's had them closer together than Anna.Esp. since it's likely Josh will get several years in prison,and Anna may be in perimeno/meno by the time he gets out.I'm not sure he'll get conjugal visits

Anna's still one kid ahead. She's pregnant with her seventh, Priscilla only has five. 

The real question is whether the Wallers can continue their boy-girl-boy-girl trend.

I saw the post started with "Babe" without noticing which thread I was in, instantly assumed it was from Jinger about Jeremy, and then experienced no small amount of cognitive dissonance while trying to figure out how Jeremy and Jinger had turned into Shrek and Jill Rod overnight. 🤣

There are no conjugal visits in federal prison. Conjugal visits are mostly a thing of the past.

Priscilla usually has longer spacing between kids.

Prissy has had her kids in even numbered years, Anna in odd.

The Duggar friend Sierra is making mugs and selling them. The mugs start at $29 and go up to $49. Apparently she has sold them all.

Maybe I'm cheap, but the mugs we drink out of cost anywhere between free and maybe $10. 

Are $50 mugs a thing in the real world?

[GeeGolly]

Oops, I missed this one.

$5 -$8 tops for a nice bone china mug 

those prices are 😮

You can find ones that look just like that at any dollar store.

Is she actually making them? I mean buying the clay, using a potters wheel and firing them in a klin? If so I can see the price. All the equipment to make them costs money and you need to may for your time, equipment and make a profit. If she is buying green ware , painting them and having them fired.. well maybe not $50.00 but still not cheap for her to do

By comparison, check out the artistry on this piece from Etsy. I bought my mom a mug from this seller and it’s stunning. And still less than what Sierra is charging!

Yes she is making them. Sierra took lessons at a small studio for a while and now teaches classes there. She makes them at the studio.

In addition to making a profit after costs, she'll want to pay herself for her time too. I'm just to practical of a person to spend $50 on a mug. A piece of art to hang on the wall or put on a shelf, yes, but not something I'd worry about breaking every time I used it.

She is making them from clay to finish. She’s really gotten into pottery. I think she knows the prices are a premium but it’s the only way she can make a profit, make the effort worthwhile. I assume the people buying are family, friends and supporters. I also assume those people won’t keep buying over and over again. 

[iwantcookies]

I’d never pay $50 for a mug. 

[Zella]

It's good that she has a hobby, but there is no way in hell I'd pay that much for a mug.

My boss's husband is a potter who hand-makes mugs (has his own kiln and everything), and he charges about $10 a piece for them. I assume he's a lot faster and making them in greater quantity than she is, but I'm really curious how many she has actually sold at that price.

I completely understand her justification for her cost for her mugs, I just don't know what a purchaser's justification would be when there are so many other mug options for a fraction of the cost.

I agree. I put my coffee in an insulated travel mug, even if I'm at home, so it's not something I'd pay $50 for, even as a decorative piece. I have a feeling the people buying are doing so more to support Sierra than anything else.

I looked through her online store last night, and I could not believe that she had the audacity to charge that much money for a damn coffee mug.  She thinks she’s uber special, and I’m not kidding.  She, like JRod, thinks she’s fabulous.  If you don’t believe me, watch some of her IG stories.  It’s nauseating.

[3 is enough]

I guess there is a market for everything.  Personally  I would never spend that much on a mug, and although I think the pink and green one is pretty, it looks thick and heavy.  I prefer to drink out of thinner, lighter pottery.  

Better that she has a hobby she enjoys than popping out an eighth kid I guess.  But with 7 kids where does she find the time?  That seems like a fairly labor-intensive activity.

She's had 2 sales and I'd estimate the total number of mugs, bowls, and planters has been somewhere between 30-40, and it appears they've all sold (and sold fast).

Given the high prices, I tend to think her core supporters have bought these first items, but I just don't see the rapid sell-outs continuing. It'll be interesting to see.

I agree. I think her supporters threw her a bone to help a mom with seven kids, but will they be returning to spend $50+ each time a new round of stock comes out? I'm doubtful.

Is there a Memorial Day post from the Rods? I thought they'd start the day singing and praying to honor the men and women who gave their lives for their freedom. Jill must have also organized a traditional backyard cookout with veggies and dip, lots of barbecued chicken (grill chef Davy in charge), potato salad, slaw, baked beans, and chips for everyone. Apple and blueberry pies with ice cream for dessert. They might have even invited the generous Dingus family to join them. 

Maybe not, especially the food part.

The idea Jill would spend money to celebrate and feed people she supposedly loves rather than to buy a grandfather clock, hair extensions, or a vacation for herself is rather ridiculous.
