Sasha888 January 24, 2019 Share January 24, 2019 Just look at the sheer amount of clothing and racks Christine already has in her house...and then imagine how much worse it is at Meri's because she's been doing it for so much longer. How could anyone have looked a the way fugly LuLaNo shit took over Meri's rooms and thought "yeah, sign me up for that!!!" At first I misspelled that "La La No"...I probably should have left it that way. La La Land is where you have to live to believe this is a good idea. Especially this late in the game, when there are multiple lawsuits and the whole thing is on the verge of collapse. (Which is the perfect time for Meri the Manipulator to bring her "beloved" family into her downline...) 10 Link to comment

Sasha888 January 24, 2019 Share January 24, 2019 Christine posted on SM a few months ago that she "sat there screaming in her car!" when she received her shipment of holiday leggings. I'm afraid she's all in. The LuLaRoe head honchos are unconscionable. I saw a YouTube video of a gal in her early 20's, all excited and expecting great things, explaining how to get started with LuLaRoe. In the video, she says "Sometimes it's hard to come up with thousands of dollars for the start-up kit, but LuLaRoe gives you tips on how to afford it! They recommend taking out a second mortgage on your house! If you don't own a home, like me, they recommend taking out multiple credit cards! LuLaRoe will split the start-up fee into several different charges on different credit cards!" She goes on to explain how the great folks at LuLaRoe counseled her on the next step - which was "don't pay back those loans for the start-up costs right away, invest the money you got selling the clothes in your business by buying more inventory!" She was just like a younger Christine. Bubbly, enthusiastic people are the perfect prey for them. Especially when bubbly & optimistic are paired with "foolish with money and a bit of a dingbat". 13 Link to comment

You have to work work work constantly to turn a meager "profit", which really isn't a profit when you factor in all of the costs and the time worked. Too much stress for very little reward.

Those that buy into this crap are all low self esteem, uneducated women who believe every snake oil salesman that comes to their door. The truly believe the hype because they have no business experience or, more importantly , plain common sense. Many of them seem to be stay-at-home moms and they are all buying into the BS that they will become successful and never leave their house. It's so sad, really. Meri may end up with the fewest losses because she's sucked the spawn into this but somehow I don't see her feeling badly when they are stuck with boxes of crap that only a blind person would buy, I can just hear her justifying it all with "you didn't work hard enough". 8 Link to comment

No, we pay them off IN FULL or more than the minimum to avoid or lower future interest charges, and can do that because we don't buy more than we can afford.

I saw that the current Zillow values of the other half of the 9-house "Gated Community" were all over $700K, though I think all the values are inflated. On Zillow you can also choose to look at houses that have been recently sold; a house a few blocks over took 7 months to sell starting at $630K and after several price drops finally sold at $575, but that street didn't have a fancy gate. With 17 Brownies and their nannies and friends coming and going, the Wild Eagle gate was probably open more than it was closed. If they have to carry these houses for 7 months, pay the real estate agent, etc., I doubt they will get much profit out of them. Edited January 25, 2019 by deirdra 4 Link to comment

I will have no sympathy for any Brown who ends up losing money or heavily in debt because of LuLaNo. Or any other MLM scheme. Meri is not responsible for anyone signing on to this sinking ship. She may have extended the invitation and made it sound like a financial paradise, but in the final analysis, she can't force anyone to order that first expensive shipment. Anyone with a brain could do a quick Google search and see page after page of links warning others not to fall into the LuLaNo trap. Of course Christine probably didn't bother to spend two minutes on "research". She apparently didn't do any before she obtained her real estate license. Only after spending time and money did she suddenly realize that agents had to work weekends. Again, a quick look on the internet would have shown multiple ads for open houses ON THE WEEKENDS, you know, when people with jobs can actually come take a look at the property. Christine is no different from the other Browns. They are lazy and want to make easy money with little to no effort. Christine is my "favorite" of the "wives", but that's because of her upbeat personality, not her common sense or brains. Edited January 25, 2019 by MonicaM Fixing mistakes 15 Link to comment

Sasha888 January 26, 2019 Share January 26, 2019 I agree that the brick part of Robyn's backyard is very pretty, but the playground part only appeals to certain buyers. If the interested party is like me, they'd be thinking "Look at this playground crap, I'm going to have to tear all this shit out!" They put a bit more money into the backyards than I realized, though. What really caught my eye, though, was if you scroll to the bottom where it shows "Other properties you might like" there are FABULOUS homes for not much more. $50 grand more is a lot to me, but if you're shopping for $600K homes it probably isn't that much more to you. Fabulous homes, fantastic pools...and not plain jane finishes everywhere. The new realtor telling them that their homes weren't worth anywhere near what they were first asking must've been quite a blow. I would have LOVED to seen their faces when they were told they were pricing them way too high. Kody's whole Flagstaff dream is probably (in his mind) going to be funded by the "huge profits" they'll make off the Vegas houses. Not panning out the way he thought, is it. 10 hours ago, deirdra said: If they have to carry these houses for 7 months, pay the real estate agent, etc., I doubt they will get much profit out of them. Totally agree. Every month they're paying their house payments, some basic utilities, I would think, and other little nickel-and-dime the crap out of you expenses. I think someone said they have HOA fees, etc. I was in a bad situation when I had to sell my house and move back to my home town...had to give up my career due to illness, going to have a long battle ahead with the disability courts, blah blah blah...I staged the holy heck out of my house to make it look its best, and took the first offer I got, because every month...house pymt, etc! Getting out fast was the goal, and I got out in one month. Got enough profit to buy a house in my home town for cash. My #2 brother sold a big gorgeous house a few years before that...they needed money, he was quitting his job to go back to school for his Phd and she's never worked...they stubbornly refused offers they thought were too low. My parents were driving an hour each way to mow their yard and shit. TWO YEARS later they took an offer they liked. Brother #1 and I couldn't believe it. Huge mortgage payments for 2 yrs...you just wasted all the profit you could have gotten! Accepting a lower offer fast is just way better. Plus, don't ask Mom & Dad to do all that work! Ugh. When we inherited our parents' house and had that on the market, brother #1 and I had a secret pact that we weren't going to let that kind of monkey business happen when selling our parents' house. Didn't end up being an issue, but if #2 started holding out for more money, we were going to say "you're outvoted 2-3, sorry." And as @toodles mentioned...she went to one of their open houses in June. That's already quite awhile ago! Months and months of money going down the drain. Guess they'll have to learn the hard way that your home is not worth what YOU think it should be worth, it's really only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. 8 Link to comment

That's so true of so many sellers - they are influenced greatly by their sentimental attachment to a house. When my parents house went up for sale, my sister (who lived out of state) was appalled at what I accepted for the place. But I lived near them and knew that the place, while in a great location, was not at all what people were looking for at that time and the amount of work it needed. In the case of the Brown Clowns, their mind set seems to be that since they are so famous (as evidenced by the listing proclaiming that the homes belonged to "reality show stars"), that should make a difference in the selling price.

Sasha888 January 27, 2019 Share January 27, 2019 One of the few scenes I'm looking forward to during this season where basically everything is old news, is the scene where Kody's telling the wives part of why they need to leave Vegas is because their houses are worth so much now. Including his little graph of housing prices drawn on a whiteboard. I'm hoping he'll say what price he thinks the homes are worth, or at least how much profit he thinks they'll be getting, because we can compare the numbers. We know what they paid for the houses, and we know (I think?) that they had interest-only loans...so if you haven't even paid a dime on the principle, the only profit to be had is if your house is now worth a lot more than you paid for it. (Oh and I almost forgot...they've put some money INTO the houses...the backyards were just dirt at first. So subtract all of the landscaping costs from the profits, too.) And even THAT profit is diminished every month that you pay both mortgage payments in Vegas AND rent in Flagstaff. Making a mortgage payment on a house you are living in is pretty justifiable...you need a roof over your head, you'd be making a rent payment if you didn't own a house. Making a mortgage payment on a house you don't live in is a waste. I would always think, when I had mortgage payments, "I have to pay something each month for a place to live, might as own something at the end of it...every month I own a bit more of this house, and the bank owns a bit less!" These morons never "own" anything. They don't own a single door knob of any of those Vegas houses. They had to walk away from the Lehi house with no profit...guess what morons, when you OWN something, or at least part of something, you GET MONEY when you sell it! If you over extend yourself, borrow against it, etc, all you get when you leave is a kick in the pants! That's what you get when you leave an apt too, so you might just as well have stayed in rentals! Kody is incredibly stupid about finances, and delusional when it comes to his "big plans" for Flagstaff and how they'll be financed by what he thinks the Vegas homes are worth. The Brown women are idiots to follow a "leader" like this. Everything he's ever led you to has been nothing but a financial disaster. 6 Link to comment

A former co-worker of mine used to blab all about his finances at the office, so we all knew everything (too stupid to shut up and realize we all thought he was an idiot)...anyway, he'd pay for months on his maxed out credit cards, and when he'd get one of them barely under the limit, he'd say "I have two hundred dollars!!!" NO, dumbass, you do not HAVE two hundred dollars, this isn't a savings account, it's a credit card! But every time he got a few hundred under the max, he'd run out and spend that two hundred. It was mind-boggling to those of us who didn't live that way. My brother has a co-worker like this and he's constantly trying to explain things to him, and gets very frustrated when the guy goes out and does stupid things anyway. I keep telling him, you are WASTING your time! These people, they don't WANT to learn! When you talk, all they hear is "This person is so mean, they don't want me to have anything new! I deserve nice things!" They don't get it, and they never will. They're a month or two away from the repo man coming and taking everything they have, yet they sleep like a baby at night. I'd never sleep a wink and I'd have to be doped up on anti-anxiety meds if I had to live like these people. 6 Link to comment
Absolom January 27, 2019 Share January 27, 2019 The only way to top the people who pay it down and then excitedly go spend are the ones who go get a new card to pay their other monthly credit card minimums. I could see the wives sharing that financial management tip. I want to see the way Kody explains the move to the Flagstaff also. 8 Link to comment

Yes, that should be juicy. ;-) The one good thing about this show being so far behind real time is that we get to see Kody's pompous attitude before the move. Already in the first episode we heard him say he wants FIVE houses, one for the grown kids/grandkids when they visit. While we sit here laughing, knowing that in real time, their McMansions aren't selling! I can't wait to hear that puffed up buffoon spew more about his big plans, listen to him convincing the wives why this is such a great idea, etc. All while knowing the houses have sat on the market for 7 months and counting. I bet there's a bit of tension in Flagstaff these days...if any of them has the sense to realize they're losing money month by month. Maybe that's too much for the morons to understand, but I think they can all understand the drastic cuts to the selling prices of the Vegas houses...that had to be like a punch to the gut for Prophet Kootie. I would've LOVED to have been a fly on the wall when a REAL realtor told them their pricing ideas were ridiculous. 13 Link to comment

And of course cash withdrawals on the new cards and paying one card off with another incur even higher interest rates. No wonder this fambly has declared bankruptcy three times already.

Sandy W January 29, 2019 Share January 29, 2019 (edited) Oh, Oh, is Christine picking fleas or ticks off her cat in the room where she stores her LLRags? Not much of an inducement to shop there! And what about potential customers that may be allergic to cat hair. Edited January 29, 2019 by Sandy W 6 Link to comment
deirdra January 29, 2019 Share January 29, 2019 How many cats does she have? There was a grey one on her twitter page. Those cheap rags would be easy for cats to shred to bits. 5 Link to comment

I think that's the new puppy in that pic, but yes, allergies and hair were my first thoughts as well. I have my own pets to put hair on everything, I don't need clothes that come with pet hair already on them. A lot of sellers on Ebay, Etsey, etc stress "From a smoke-free, pet-free home." But this is Christine, so of course she's going to show everyone that her puppy has access to whiz on the LuLaNo rags! ;-) She is such a dingbat. 11 Link to comment

I THOUGHT it was a dog, but hey - I've been wrong before. (Once. A long, long, LONG time ago... but it happened. Once.) The Browns are NOT cat people. Well... now people who have allergies know who NOT to buy from! :D 5 Link to comment
Popular Post tabloidlover February 1, 2019 Popular Post Share February 1, 2019 I know I might come across as biased.. but.... I am having major reconstructive surgery at a major university in 2 weeks. A large portion of that is due to scoliosis. My mother never believed it was a big deal, therefore it was swept under the rug. I am close to 50 and have had problems with my spine since I left home at 18. This will be my FOURTH spinal reconstruction in ten years. I’m telling you all now, that what they are putting that poor girl through is raising my blood pressure to an unsafe level. Kody — NO ONE GIVES A FUCK HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS. Being a parent is to take care of your children. NO MATTER WHAT. The sheet audacity of Kody to determine what is best for Ysabel based on his own “fillings” is beyond my comprehension. I'm going to attempt to climb down from my soapbox now. 48 Link to comment

You have every right to speak on your soapbox. Princess Eugenie wore a wedding dress that proudly showed her scars from her surgery to correct her spine. I've had two cousins that have had surgery. Wasn't found until they both tried to join the military. Maybe an x-ray should be required at some time during teenage years for boys and girls. My brother was told several years ago while having surgery on his shoulder that he had a slight curve of his spine, which the doctor said was scoliosis, he is in his late 50's. Best to be caught and dealt with young. 11 Link to comment

I’m sorry you had to go through that; you’re right, our most important job as parents is to try to keep our children safe and healthy, body and mind. But Kody has never cared for his children except as reflections of himself. He is a terrible father (and husband, and person...). Good vibes for your surgery and recuperation! 18 Link to comment

I feel the same way and I've never had spinal issues. If ysabelle (I think that's close) broke her arm, would they wait for awhile to see if it healed because they don't like casts? IDIOTS! 16 Link to comment
