Meowwww July 7, 2020 Share July 7, 2020 We had turkey vultures when I lived in Texas. They just sat in the trees, watching, waiting for someone to die so they could eat. They are huge. 1 4 Link to comment

Oh I dunno, she not only has the Lizzie's mortgage payment but also her multi thousand dollar rental in Flagstaff, plus all the operating costs involved in running a lodging. Even with no customers she still has to pay for insurance, workers comp for her mom and whoever is helping her mom when she's not around, landscaping, maintenance, etc. I'm not even considering her personal expenses - driving back and forth between places must run up quite a bit of gas and car maintenance bills for one thing. I wonder if she put away all the dust and germ catching knick knacks? I guess you can't really hang out inside the house unless you're going to stay in your room or wear a mask inside. Going to Parowan isn't my idea of a fun vacay anyway but eating my breakfast in my room next to the bed or dining Al fresco with a view of the Parowan Prophet...meh. 1 11 Link to comment

Here in my part of Georgia they come every Fall to spend their winters. They are death eaters, devouring death out of the environment so that living things can continue to prosper and grow. It is said that the Great Spirit rewarded the turkey vulture with the tremendous gift of soaring and flight for doing one of the earth's most thankless jobs, keeping it clean. For this, the turkey vulture is one of the best soarers in the bird kingdom, and can go for hours without flapping a single wing. They are a magnificent bird, and I just adore them. 🙂 13 14 Link to comment

Do you know that for sure? Her cousin said that "creative financing" was required to purchase the BnB and it was another last-minute deal, which usually comes with worse terms than a conventional mortgage. 8 Link to comment
suomi July 7, 2020 Share July 7, 2020 Well, we know the terms of the LLR cruises she has qualified for. They required at least 6 months of ungodly sales, something like $12,000 per month. That's 72k for only half of the year. 1 3 Link to comment
Teafortwo July 7, 2020 Share July 7, 2020 I would think Meri is okay financially. Sure, the B&B (and financing Mariah's life) has to be a drain, but she has the LLR money and the TLC money. From her Instagram photos with different backdrops, she has been spending time in both Flagstaff and Parowan (if the pictures she is posting were taken on or close to the days they are posted). 3 Link to comment

It seems that I heard that the $12,000 per month required was for the volume of sales, Meri would net approximately half of that after paying for her inventory. On top of that, she must have someone else in the background, helping her receive shipments, unpack, hang garments on racks, invoice, pack and ship. I know Meri prides herself on her efficiency but it takes time to set up the "lives" she does several times a week, PLUS, she frequently "bakes" Rice Krispie treats to include with shipments as a thank you for the order. She seems to have spent about 50% of her time at the Inn since the pandemic struck and appears to be conducting her "lives" from her home in AZ, so I don't see how she could accomplish all that without paying someone to help her with the nitty gritty chores associated with the business, $12,000 in sales would represent close to 350 garments sold. Still nothing to sneer at, if she nets $6000 per month from sales, less a salary to someone who may be helping her, it's still a lot more than Janelle would be earning from her "Strive" and I'm sure 10 times anything Robyn ever earned with SWC. It is possible Meri is handling the LLR business all by herself, she may be directing all of her frustrations and pent-up energy to proving a point. 1 6 Link to comment
MargeGunderson July 7, 2020 Share July 7, 2020 She has to be paying taxes well (or at least she’s supposed to), so that’s another 25%. 1 1 5 Link to comment
deirdra July 7, 2020 Share July 7, 2020 (edited) and all the shipping costs. I wouldn't be surprised if Meri does it all herself. At one point Maddie was her "helper" but their rift suggests she didn't have Meri's work ethic. And Meri seemed to think nothing of driving back & forth between LV & Flag, so she could do Parowan to Flag too just for he "lives" and packing/shipping marathons. That is a lot of gasoline & wear and tear on her latest SUV to pay for too. Edited July 7, 2020 by deirdra 7 Link to comment
DakotaJustice July 8, 2020 Share July 8, 2020 (edited) $6k a month before taxes... considering out of that post tax she has to pay her rent on Flag, mortgage on Parowan (remember there hasn't been any income from the B&B since March), car expenses, personal living expenses and take care of the shortfalls of the B&B earning/expense ratio. I still believe she has yet to see a real profit from Lizzie's. ETA also keeping in mind the Brown's history of living beyond their means. I don't see Kody or any of the wives - Janelle included - putting aside anything for the future. Even if they were each making $25 million annually, they'd piss it away and be left with nothing at the end of the year. ETA Again - $6k a month = $72k a year. Pretty modest salary for a high priced area like Flagstaff. Edited July 8, 2020 by DakotaJustice 8 Link to comment

Grifter Lives July 8, 2020 Share July 8, 2020 Re: Meri's LulaNo income - She actually sold enough to earn two cruise tickets, which would give her her own cabin. One article estimated that her annual income from LulaNo $250K, but it was based on the minimum gross sales for two cruise tickets. It didn't factor all the operating costs. 7 Link to comment
DakotaJustice July 9, 2020 Share July 9, 2020 (edited) She turned comments off AGAIN. Wuss. Regarding using the cruise award as a barometer of earnings - I suspect it's not 100% accurate. The Browns are the only "celebrities" that LLN has and I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Stidhams gave Meri a generous free upgrade to her own personal first class cabin in order to have her on board.

Sofa Sloth July 9, 2020 Share July 9, 2020 She is ridiculous and insecure. I’m not sure why she bothers filtering herself into oblivion, when we can all see her real turkey neck and dropped-pie face on the TV and internet. Who does she actually think she’s fooling here? Why does she feel the need to present such a fake facade? Give it up old Mare, You’re 50, stop trying to be 30. Delete the FaceTune app, put down the marker you use to create those hideous raccoon eyes and just be real like you say you are. No one wants to see your fakery. 3 14 Link to comment
laurakaye July 9, 2020 Share July 9, 2020 Hi Meri! How did you know we all love to talk about your eyebrows?? You must read here! Welcome, pull up a chair and let's talk! We have so many questions! First of all, do you use a stencil to get those eyebrows drawn on? Because they are rilly something else. Do you use a Sharpie? Can't say I've seen too many people wear brows like that in the real world! Also, that eyeliner - wow, that's thick. And the mascara? How many layers would you say you typically put on - 10? 14? How can you even keep your eyes open with all that goop on them? And how do you manage your workouts in full makeup and not sweat it off? That's a real skill! Tell us, please! And based on that latest photo, your face seems to have lost about 20 pounds! Wow! I mean, you've basically erased your jawline into oblivion! You're, like, a filter genius or something! Did you take a class? Just wondering! TTYL! #KeepingItRill #HiMeri!! #WeSoBoredWeTalkAboutYouAllTheTime #QuarantineQuestionsForMeri #FlagstaffFilters 17 Link to comment

Especially if you watch the new opening credits for the show, you can see that there is a marked difference - puffy face, downturned mouth, etc. Based on the pics used of the other wives, this was taken with makeup but no filter, maybe some retouching?

I seriously wonder why she wants her eyes to resemble arachnids? 🕷 Must be a defence mechanism to freak people out and keep them away, part of her invisible ‘Walls’ guarded thing. I do now see why she needs a huge McMansion rental all the time though, she must go through a tube of mascara and sharpie marker a day, gotta house them Spider-eye supplies somewhere. 🤷🏼♀️ 22 Link to comment
