Problem. Big problem. I'm open minded on the subject. Don't really believe or disbelieve, but I'm not interested in having any encounters. I'm also cowardly and have a vivid imagination so I'd probably have some sort of frightening experience whether it was real or imagined. 🤣 Thirty years ago we moved into our century old home, I was barreling through the house attending to the many things one does on moving day. As I approached the staircase, there was a life size figure on the bottom step, I paused for an instant, without uttering a sound, then stepped forward with my arms outstretched, only to see the figure evaporate. It may have been a figment, caused by being a little tired and over-wrought, but I have always felt it was a previous occupant welcoming us to the home. There have been no subsequent events, so who or whatever it was, I guess they are happy with us as the custodians of the home. 1 8 Link to comment
Joan of Argh April 16, 2019 Share April 16, 2019 When our kids were little we bought a little cottage at a lake about 2 hrs from our home and that was our summer vacation for many years other than an extra special year when we took them all to Disneyland. Anyways it was a log style and old as hell, hubby usually worked on it every vacation which was fine because he likes that type of thing. The first time we stayed there we got everyone into bed for the night and then we crawled into bed, I was laying there exhausted but felt hubby's hands on top of the covers twiddling his fingers and moving up my body... I was a little annoyed because I was tired and thought he was trying to start something frisky lol... I said "No, No, No... I'm tired.. go to sleep" He was half asleep and mumbled "huh..what's wrong?"... I started to answer and just then realized he wasn't doing anything and something was walking on my body!... I flew up and screamed, scared the hell out of hubby... The moon was shining in the window and I saw a mouse scurrying off the bed and across the floor. Well there was no sleep for me... I sat up in bed like a zombie all night and next day hubby drove into town to get humane mousetraps. I would have preferred a friendly ghost lol. 👻 15 1 Link to comment

She's always wearing some big ugly tan colored clodhopper boots to emphasize the ankle foot rolling round and round and it gets more and more exaggerated whenever she gets pissed off or upset... Especially during TH conversations about the catfish etc.... Her face gets red, eyes tear up, the eye booger wiping starts and there goes the clodhopper boots.... Round and round. Ugh! I want to tie an anchor to her feet and hand her a tissue. I noticed that on the Sister Wives tell-nothing, there was no tissue, and Gabe had to wipe his eyes on his shirt. BUT, on the Seeking Sister Wife tell-something!, the host handed out tissue to someone, I forget who. Does that indicate anythingk? Your guess is as good (or better) than mine! 2 1 Link to comment

On the episode when they're in Alaska, and Meri tells the other wives that one morning they might just wake up and find her gone (and Robyn calmly slurps her soup), was that: A. While she was "in love with Sam" and she said that because she might run away with him? Or B.

Apparently they got through to her (unlike Mariah and others) and she split the sheets with Sam. JO went apeshit and started posting the texts and photos online. 6 7 Link to comment

No wonder Meri was vulnerable. Vulnerable and likely hurt about that, justifiably so. I do have empathy for her when it comes to dealing with Kody and his dismissiveness of her, so it's no wonder she went running straight into the cyber-arms of another. Where my empathy stopped is when she started lying about it. A simple, "He (she) was there for me when you weren't! I tried and tried to get your attention, but nothing worked." would have sufficed. Anyways, Meri and Kody say they're still working on their relationship and it's like they're "dating" again, but I don't buy it (I suspect that was for tv). Kody is still dismissive towards Meri. I feel like he's ok with her being around, at a distance. If this were a typical, 2-person relationship, they would've been broken up by now, maybe even amicably. "Ok, so this isn't working anymore. Let's just move on, shall we?" I really hope she takes off after the show. It's so awkward to watch. 5 Link to comment

Yes--I also think this is strictly for the show. If Kody has any interest in Meri now, it's about the money she makes from LLR and the B&B (case in point--he had no interest in helping Meri acquire the B&B, but he sure showed up fast to be front and center for the grand opening/ribbon cutting ceremony). 2 hours ago, TurtlePower said: I really hope she takes off after the show.

Joan of Argh April 19, 2019 Share April 19, 2019 (edited) I can't help but feel that Kody puts up with Meri and even acts a little sweet from time to time just for the show and to continue the farce that polygamy is GREAT! I'd be willing to bet if it wasn't for the show Kootie and the other wives would have kicked her to the curb... Even sweet & happy Christine seemed to enjoy telling Meri that when she enters a room she brings a lot of baggage with her when discussing Axel's birth. Who could blame her... Meri was a gigantic bitch to Christine when she sought some advice and comfort from Meri. I think Janelle and Robyn feel the same way and rightfully so. I don't know what's keeping Meri there, if she's doing as well with the B&B as she says and she's a #Bosslady #Indepedantwoman #LivingMyWhy..leave! I think she's the type that needs someone to leave with and maybe she isn't independent at all. I have a friend, known her since grade school... All of her friends call her Elizabeth Taylor.... She's on her 4th marriage and she's never lived on her own... She went from her parents to husband #1 and from him to #2 wash, rinse, repeat, she's currently unhappy and looking for #5..... Whenever I ask her why doesn't she leave and go live on her own she says she can't and that the thought scares her because she's never looked after herself or run a household, paid bills, kept a car insured and on the road etc. etc etc..... even though she has a good job and could support herself.... She's an adult and needs a daddy. 🙄 Sad but true.... I wonder if Meri is like that... She seemed pretty happy when she thought she had Sam to run to but when that bubble burst she crawled back to Kootie and the gang even though she seems miserable.

I think you are right, the B & B is brought by Bonnie. The bank would clearly look at her income which was 1/5 th of whatever they were making from the show - last season was 180K for all of them from what was rumored. Say she makes maybe 50K from that disgusting apparel crap, she is carrying probably close to a 390K mortgage as a single person on the Vegas home and some bank would lend her another 320K ?

If I were one of the wives, I would leave it in the names of my kids. Who would be named in an insurance policy for Kody? I assume Robyn if the policy is newer but I am sure these people don’t spend money on life insurance. That would mean they are proactive and think ahead, skills none of them have shown to date. 4 Link to comment

I get it, but still gotta defend her. The last thing people should be thinking about in a national park is fashion (just my opinion as a rescue professional). It's what works with your feet, is functional and comfortable--if the shoes are ugly, so be it. Honestly, most people aren't looking at others' feet to see how cute their boots are. I look at peoples' feet to see if I need to stop and educate them. Meri and her ugly boots get a pass from me on this one. I just hope she stayed on the rim with the rest of that getup. 12 Link to comment

Always makes me wonder but yes the show money would definitely be a reason and makes sense. You'd think she was independent since she bought the B&B but I've read elsewhere that her mom sold her house to buy the B&B so maybe it wasn't really Meri doing it on her own... Once again needing someone to help her and it sounds like it's her mom who runs it and looks after the accounting etc. I dunno... Wish we knew more about their finances. Oh, and didn't another relative (male cousin? brother?) pony up the money needed for the down payment? Yeah, she might think herself independent - from the Browns. She just attached her dependency to another branch of her family tree. 2 Link to comment

At least she doesn't have her back to the drop. The south rim of the Grand Canyon is about 250 miles long. Very little of the rim is fenced or barricaded - most of that is near the visitor center, restaurants and hotels. 4 1 Link to comment
