I’m trying 🤣

[iwantcookies]

I see grape tomatoes lol

[iwantcookies]

I wonder if Jenelle put melted butter into the plexus bottle ? Haha plexus my butt 🤣. I doubt she drinks it!

[DakotaJustice]

I think what she's trying to convey here is that it doesn't matter what you eat as long as you're swilling Plexus. Ha yeah right.

I like that she added that she's not trying to get "skinny" she's after "wellness" translate that to mean don't expect to see any after photos of Janelle any time soon because it's not about weight loss doncha know. Of course for 99% of interested people it is most definitely about weight loss.

Is the bottle always full in her pictures?

Forgive me because I think I have asked this before, but does anyone know what Plexus tastes like?  In my mind, it's a super-sweet fake strawberry flavored concoction that burns one's esophagus on the way down, and you can smell it from across the room like a Red Bull.

I just can't imagine willingly drinking this stuff on an empty stomach...or a full stomach, for that matter.  Or at all, ever.

Photoshop fail?

back when fabric was cheaper than store bought clothes, I used to sew.  I can't remember the exact term, but this happens when the fabric is cut on a (I think) bias and then it twists.   I agree it is usually on cheaper clothes because I suspect they are trying to get every last piece out of a bolt of fabric, even if it has to be laid sideways (my theory only).   Remember, only cut steak on a bias 😉, not fabric.

Your theory is correct - it all has to do with how the fabric is cut relative to the weave of the fibers.  In jeans or trousers, the main fiber direction should be straight down the middle of the leg in the front and in the back on both legs so that when you bend your knees, the fabric bends with it and doesn't twist. If you lay the pattern pieces at an angle to the edge of the fabric bolt, wonky things will happen when you move.  If the first piece of the pattern is laid parallel to the long direction of the fabric but the second piece of the pattern is put at an angle to "save fabric", that pant leg will twist on your leg.  As with matching patterns at seams, you need to "waste" a bit of fabric (or save it for quilts, patches, craft projects or rag bin). If you try to "save" fabric, you end up wasting all the fabric when you throw out your crappy sewing project.

Material used to be of much higher quality.  Sadly that is not the case anymore, unless you are willing to spend some money.

This sentence had me giggling! I save ALL the fabric with the projects that will sit in their individual project bags until the end of time. (I'm just giving future archaeologists something to do)

Thrift stores/online thrift! You can find well-made designer jeans for a fraction of the original cost this way. I have probably 25 pair of designer/vintage jeans from thrifting. I never buy new when I can find the $250 jeans for $20.

Janelle! This stuff has been around for a long time! As usual she’s behind the curve—much like her discovering some new vegetable most of us knew about when we were 7.

Kody was with her? Al fresco hot dog dinner by the pond included?

She is not one to harangue him about not feeding small children on time, his lack of interest in her sexual needs or if he gives a shit about the physical and emotional needs of her semi-adult children.  Points Scored Janelle!!!

Noooooo! NEVER! 

You just put on your big girl panties and get over it, Meri's torrid affair with a banana is the only interesting thing that ever happened on this boring, fake real estate show and I'm not letting it go, not for you or anybody else.

You are so correct, I imagine this is exactly how Janelle sees it. By the way, how high school is it when you have to let the whole world know that you hung out with your "boyfriend" last night?

Well Janelle, here's how the rest of the world sees it - once in a great while, when Aereolablobla has been swinging from the chandeliers and singing "Old McDonald had a Farm" for 4 hours straight, Aurora's crying and screaming at the top of her lungs from some imagined teenage slight, and Robyn's not putting out because she has cramps, Kody gets out of the manse for an hour and comes to your place, because it's literally the only home in Flagstaff where anyone would even answer the door if he rang the bell.

And then he reads you boring newspaper articles.

I'm so jelly.

Exactly. His idea of of time with the (non-Robyn) fambly is looking at his phone and ignoring everyone, but this time he slipped and happened to read something aloud.

i picture her answering the door to Kody wearing those earrings like this:

[Sasha888]

So I'm trying to wrap my head around the timeline, and the "improvements" made to Coyote Pass.

They are installing the cistern on this episode, filmed roughly a year before Janelle lived out there in the RV. So, nothing else happened in a whole year? Janelle did not seem to have access to any kind of utilities when she was out there, and I guess I was thinking the big plastic water tanks she had didn't seem to be anything that came from this cistern.

So, am I missing something? Wouldn't electricity, to pump water from the cistern, have been the next step? That doesn't seem to have happened. 

[Mahamid Frauded Me]

@Sasha888 I was thinking the same thing, between rolling my eyes every time they referred to the drainage ditch as a pond. Was the equity load Kody took out to pay for this cistern? I almost think that it wasn't even their cistern going in, but someone with common sense that brought land nearby started to develop on it. And your right, all summer long we saw Janelle posting on having water trucked in, so absolutely nothing appears to have been accomplished. Shame on Kody for forcing Sol into the ditch, the kid was scared clearly and sure Janelle, you sure did enforce your stance to stop him. These people are worthless

[deirdra]

Kootie's little map showed this big cistern would be feeding 5 smaller tanks. How could they decide where to locate the cistern if they haven't decided where to put the houses yet.  And it would be a big headache when the 5 lots are sold separately in the future.  Yes, you'd need electricity to pump water out to the 5 tanks and from each tank into each house. Cisterns normally would collect rainwater off roofs, which also don't exist yet.  The idea that this cistern was actually being delivered to a neighbour's property sounds the most likely!  If it is on their property, they would need trucked-in water to fill the cistern, but weren't even using it to fill Janelle's RV. What were they doing, filling the "pond" during droughts?

Interesting...

In one of the shots, the truck delivering the cistern drives through large, western-style log gate or archway (not sure what to call it). I've never seen that on the Browns' property before, unless I just missed it.

Could support what you guys are saying.

I smell a catfish. 😉

I like Janelle's small, simple tree, but doesn't it burn her holly jolly ass at ALL that Full Wife is sitting there in her mansion with probably the largest tree in Flagstaff that her ill gotten gains could buy, stockings hung by a real fireplace, and, more than likely, a 2,000 piece Christmas Village?

[WhatAmIWatching]

Where o where is Janelle living? 'A smaller space needs a smaller tree' sure sounds pass agg to me. Did she rent an apartment?

Good point on the passive/aggressive part....

The mention of command hooks says "apartment" to me.

Never let it be said that Janelle is not consistent.  Even her "festive" Christmas stockings seem to be made of burlap, in keeping with her western homestead theme.

[Mahamid Frauded Me]

the angel topper is as big as the tree. Do I dare ask where are the dogs? 

[LilyD]

Could anyone explain the 8 stockings please? Yes, I know, 6 kids, Janelle and a teeny tiny possibility that Kody is going to show up on Christmas Day which makes 8.

But most of her kids have moved out, and while I understand she may want to give them something for Christmas, there's the fact that Maddie is married and has a family herself. Shouldn't they at least be included? And Logan's fiancee? #confused...

 

[deirdra]

Do the dogs have stockings? Or did the stockings just come 8 in a box?  No names, so the first 8 visitors can have one.

If Kodork, Janelle and Robyn are such proponents for the ONE BIG HOUSE, why didn't Janelle and Savanah just move into an empty wing of the Manse and give it the ol' college try?  See if anyone kills anyone else?  Try sharing a kitchen?  See if Janelle's fire-ass horse decor blends seamlessly with Robyn's 130,465 Precious Moments and Willow Tree figurines?  See how long it takes for one of Janelle's dogs to eat one of those Precious Moments figurines?  Or how long before Robyn gets the vapors when Janelle lumbers out of her bedroom at 6am and starts banging pots and pans to make her special nutmeg and ghee scrambled eggs?  I mean, I would totally watch a season of those two in particular live under the same roof while Kody hides in the cupboard under the stairs to avoid Robyn's wrath at allowing it in the first place.

No, I don't get the feeling that it bothers Janelle much at all. I think Janelle has simple needs and is happy to have a husband around as a handyman on occasion, with no romantic relationship.

But I'm betting the disparity bugs the hell out of Gabe and several of her other kids. They seem to have more outrage about the situation than Janelle.

I still think Janelle will eventually move to North Carolina to be near Maddy and the grandkids.

This is awesome, and I would watch the hell out of this because:

#1 - it would actually resemble polygamy, which this show now lacks

#2 - it's just the two screwballs who like this goober so much, and Christine gets to be free

#3 - I wouldn't have to watch Meri hit on Kody
