Jill is really proud of her cheap extensions. She thinks she looks like Cinderella or something…

where would they ride them though? surely they would not be allowed to ride down a road or a bike trail without Jill there because some slut in shorts might also be out riding a bike and tempt the poor boys.

riding bikes around the garden graveyard wouldn't be much fun

I was an avid bicyclist when I was young, and recall the freedom I felt riding all around our NJ township.  I'm sure JillR doesn't want her kids having any feelings of being free.

More like one of the ugly stepsisters.

Janessa looks like ET riding off into the night sky.*

*I've never actually watched ET, so I'm basing my assumption on the posters I have seen.*

I just can't with this bitch anymore...

Yep. Two of them in fact.  They went to Tessie and Hannah a few years ago. Unclear if they still have them or have passed them down to Olivia and Sadie. 

Or gave them to BME to put with her stuffed animal collection on the closet shelf.

That’s exactly where they are. Jill is hoarding all the toys. No way her girls play with any new or nice toys.

Or any toys at all. Those kids don't have any.

[CalicoKitty]

I'm pretty that naked doll on the floor was one of them.

[iwantcookies]

Bikes cost $. Jill and hunky are not buying the kids anything. Guess they did not grift any. 
 

 

[Triple P]

Didn't they have bikes in West Virginia? I thought there was a video of the older Rodlets silently riding bikes around and around in a circle in their driveway. One of Jill's attempts to show how much the children love to play together and they are all best friends.

[crazy8s]

 I do seem to recall a video of the older girls riding a bike with a wagon tied to it and they were giving the little girls rides in the wagon around the yard. but i might be thinking of the duggars or someone else.

It reminds me of convicts circling the yard during their exercise period.

I will say that despite some of the other "poetry" he has been exposed to ( just going by other things I've seen Jill post, on the assumption that she thinks they have merit), he does have a marginally better sense of meter than a lot of what's out there. He has taken some pains to give a sense of flow to the whole thing. 

Sorry - this was in reference to Phillip's poem a few pages back. I'm babysitting today, and didn't get a chance to notice how much further on this thread had gone.

The barndo is in a fairly isolated area, and there is a long driveway to the main road that passes just a couple of houses. It's really a perfect place to ride bikes without being defrauded.

That could be it. Jill was not going to shell out her evil government money on the kids when there was primitive decor to purchase. Still, anyone who can grift a house (WV) should be able to pick up a few bicycles and other things suitable for children and teens. 

Maybe the problem is the kids have no free time to play. Jill schedules a few activities like splashing in a drainage ditch for her photos and videos, but who knows what they do the rest of the time. Well, we know they stuff envelopes, dust plastic flowers, and plant rock gardens. 

Speaking of work, I wonder how Jill's Creamy Ivory shop is going? Maybe the pastor's wife is still standing at the booth waiting for Jill to return from her "quick errand."

Maybe if he had more opportunities, he could be a poet or a writer? Sadly, unless he breaks free, nope. 

[Cinnabon]

Maybe it’s best that the kids don’t have bikes, because you know Jill wouldn’t get them helmets. Because freedumb!

[iwantcookies]

Too bad Tessie didn’t shave BME head

[BradandJanet]

Is that Jill's real hair or her extensions? Either way, it looks like straw.

I think it’s extensions 

[laurakaye]

Real hair or fake, Tessie's handiwork makes Jill's hair look far better than it usually does.  I'd pick any one of those styles over the usual crunchy-curl Aquanet fiasco she typically wears.

Not one person typed yes - yet.

"If YOU are registered to be here, type "yes" below. Jill"

[laurakaye]

Wonder if the displays are extra items that have been stored in Jill's upstairs attic, or was she able to grift a gift card to Hobby Lobby to buy everything new?

Either way, the pictures make me want to sneeze.

Maybe Jill sold the bikes in her farewell WV yard sale. That's how she got rid of the family cat. 

[crazy8s]

here's the video i was thinking of with a girl on the bike pulling a kid in the wagon. the only comment on the video says "cute babysitter".

I agree that the decorations are more holiday themed than season themed. I thought she had used the "Seasons" theme for the retreat last year???? Maybe not. Maybe they just all refer to "seasons of life" so much that I have it confused.

I think she did use it last year too. 

[Westiepeach]

Apparently I have no life because I looked up last year's theme (sorry - I am in a NyQuil haze). The theme was "Transformed Ladies."

Thanks @Westiepeach.  I am ashamed to admit that I was just coming here to post the same information,  minus the pictures because I am not that tech savvy. I really thought she was repeating the Seasons theme. 

[GeeGolly]

Transformed = Easter decorations

Seasons = Christmas and Halloween decorations

Next year will be Growth and JillR will Fall decorations.

[iwantcookies]

It looks so cheap, tacky and tasteless. Well that’s Jilldo in a nutshell…

[libgirl2]

I'm sure she spent the money from the ticket sales on all that crap if she didn't have it already. This was she gets new crap and the guests get loose jelly beans.

Halloween/orange/pumpkin theme wedding. Ha I can totally see that.

[BradandJanet]

What year did Jill make her sister Amy--the QUADRIPLEGIC--the theme of the retreat? I remember that Jill wrote a book about Amy, and Chunk printed it. The "book" was stapled, and everyone who attended got a copy in all its rambling, error-riddled glory.  

Jill is the glorious queen of tacky. 

 

[iwantcookies]

She got vendor tables. Guess who will be selling plexus? And probably her book 🙄

I saw a lot of chairs. At least 50. That many women want to PAY $ to see Jill? Are they all brain damaged?

Jill clearly has never heard the saying, "Less is more." 

It's like she blindfolded herself and threw the shit and where it landed, looked good to her.

[BradandJanet]

Love the sign for this year's retreat with the lopsided, mismatched letters and numbers. Isn't Hunk a professional printer? Why did the main sign for Jill's life-changing event become a little kids' dining room table project? 

I hope no one scrimped and saved grocery money to attend this retreat, expecting it to be professional in any way. 

If the Holy Spirit does show up, he/she/it/they will probably take off quickly for a dip in the hotel pool.

That was 2017, with this lovely announcement written by Jill:

 

”We are happy to announce that Jill Rodrigues (ministry wife and mother to 12), Amy Foster (quadriplegic and wife and mother to 6) and Angie Hillegass (wife and mother to 7) will be speaking at a ladies’ retreat(coordinated by Jill Rodrigues) on October 20th – 21stof this year! ”

[iwantcookies]

Well isn’t it nice to be known as a quadriplegic only (said sarcastically). Nothing else about Amy is important according to Jill.

Jill is such a mean/nasty witch. Wouldn’t it be nice if all she is known by is her SEVERELY injured knee and selling poison and starving her PRECIOUS children ?
