I was thrilled when I learned this, as it always seemed so natural, and finding ways to not do it made sentences sound so stilted! So....Where are you going at? (is proper?) Link to comment

"Where are you going?" is a complete sentence.The "at" is unnecessary. An example of ending a sentence with a preposition: "Whose house are you going to?" vs "To whose house are you going?"

But for sentences that require a preposition, it is not necessary to perform linguistic gymnastics to make sure that it isn't at the end. See example above - it's perfectly acceptable to say "Whose house are you going to?" as opposed to "To whose house are you going?" The former sounds more natural; the latter is formal - I don't know anyone who speaks that way IRL. 4 Link to comment

xwordfanatik February 3, 2018 Share February 3, 2018 @Natalie68, I remember Doofus saying that about dear Robyn. Wasn't it when they were moving into the McMansions? No wonder poor Christine was beside herself with jealousy. I have never gotten a jealousy vibe from Janelle, but can Meri's bitchiness be the only reason she's gained major poundage? Was it because she had to work to support Meri's out-of-town trips with Doofus? I would bet that any of Meri's LulaNo $ does NOT go into the "family" money pot. There is no man on earth I would have wanted so badly, that I would devalue my own self-worth, and agreed to him boinking another woman, or women. FTS. 7 Link to comment

I would bet money out of MY family pot that the only money divided among them is the TLC money. Their own "business" ventures are their own things and that is their money. When Meri was whining to Kody about Mariah going to the way more expensive Westminster uni Kody told her that she would have to come up with the money herself. I'm sure that is why Christine always is on the low end of the money stick because she doesn't do anything that either brings in cash for her household OR provides her with tax write offs (which...in my opinion is all Janelle's Strive venture is meant to do). 6 Link to comment

From the way they were talking at Meri's house, it sounds like the family has no idea how she's doing moneywise - if she was putting it into the family coffers, then at least Kody or Janelle (does she keep the family books?) would know. *A big ol' HELL YES to this!

But when I first learned she was going to open a "business" and start CHARGING? SMH. That's laughable. You don't open a business to cut and style hair your first week in cosmetology school. You don't take students and charge them for piano lessons in your first week of piano lessons. You don't open a restaurant your first week in culinary school. So what the hell was she thinking when she did this? First, Janelle has nothing to sell us as she hasn't succeeded yet. Second, she's got zero confidence. This wouldn't be an issue but she's trying to sell herself to others for what? She's afraid of everything! I know chickens less scared of things than she is!
