The Duggalos: Jinger and the Holy Goalie

[emma675]

Jinger's smile looks so forced and her eyes go kind of dead when she's in photos with her parents. It's so much more noticeable to me now that I've seen her really smiling and happy with Jeremee.

He really squeezes em tight.

@Sew Sumi, too cute for words pretty well describes JereMe.  Goofy faces and all.  I would want to smack his furrowed forehead.

Jeremy isn’t a Duggar so he probably grew up eating pork.  I wouldn’t give up ham for anyone.

It's like she's being forced to take a picture with people she can't stand to be around. Oh, wait. 

I will say, Michelle almost looks normal in the picture for once. 

[floridamom]

Uhoh, Jeremy is 'touching" Michelle...I wonder if she liked it?

No.  The apostrophe indicates a possessive, i. e. belonging to the Smiths.  The  only correct application with an apostrophe would be Welcome to the Smiths' (with home either implied or stated) as that is the correct plural possessive.  The whole concept is just grammatically awkward, imo.

Yeah, that was a real brain-glitch moment for me...usually I'm pretty good with stuff like that. Thanks to you and Sew Sumi for clarifying. I think that's another one of those things where I've gotten so used to seeing the error that my mind came up with a justification for it.

[floridamom]

"Good" Italian sausage just can't be made out of turkey, sorry. I'm sure Jeremy enjoyed and enjoys a good Italian sausage used in many recipes. Jinger  has to eat it too. After all, Jeremy's 'in charge' of what is a sin in the VOULO'S household. See what I did there?

I wonder if Jim Bob's new shorter hair is due to lack of hairspray funds.  He almost looks normal too.  A little less plastic with the crows feet, like ordinary men his age usually have. 

I don't think Jinger has dead eyes around her folks, I think she now has OPENED eyes.  To who and what they really are, but she loves them anyway.

And I think Jeremy has helped make that happen.  I don't think the Jinger we see now is who she'd be if she was sold to  married off to a marginal guy her age, with a super-fundy educational and work background.  YMMV.

Is it weird that I think they all look normal in this picture? Even JB and Michelle. It looks like any other family pic that is posted this time of year.

[GeeGolly]

I'm surprised Jeremy hasn't had his recessed tooth fixed. The Duggars are all about teeth. Health care of the body, not so much.

OMG, I think I just need to go to Prayer Closet for letting my mind go wandering like that. Since, I have to do my penance, I’m going to say Jinger’s door decoration was tacky as fuck.  I get that it might have been a gift and they didn’t want to offend, but still.

And Jinger probably got a lecture for wearing pants and for wearing that eye trap top, hence the coat done up to the neck. It was cold that day as well.

Typos. I can’t see squat.

[floridamom]

A. It's so obvious that Michelle's teeth are so artificially 'white', they're fluorescent white...B. I didn't intend for the Italian 'sausage' comment to mean anything else but Italian sausage on the plate, ie, pizzaiola, in ragu', sausage & peppers, etc.  Arwen Evenstar...you made me laugh with your post! 

I hope the Duggalos have a real, nice Italian Christmas Eve and Christmas day...good antipasto, great food and DRINK, good Italian pastries.

Wasn't that exposed as just another of their self-serving lies? I'm almost sure that the Duggars have been caught eating bacon or pork rinds or something like that.

I know you totally meant it to be an innocent post....just my filthy little mind working overtime.  

Italian Christmas Eve feast sounds so amazing, and I’ve never been to one.  Do you think the Vuolos would host “the feast of the seven fishes”?  Is that simply a culinary tradition, or does it have religious overtones, as in being a Catholic thing? Lighten up, Chuck and Di, it’s just food—it doesn’t have a religion!

(Anyone thinking of the show with the guy named Martin and his ex wife brought a ham to their family meal?  They were Jewish, and Judith said, “it’s just meat; it doesn’t have a religion!”)

[Marigold]

That is a very good picture of Jinger, Jeremy, Michelle, JB.

They all look normal and Michelle's hair has moved out of the 80's, for the moment.  Her hair was decent at Joe's wedding also. Maybe Jinger is trying to reason with her about her hair? Michelle has the denim jacket now too. 

If Jinger can get Michelle to look a teeny bit more contemporary, she is a miracle worker. 

[floridamom]

Traditional Italian-American Christmas Eve dinner is to 'fast' from meats the evening before the celebration of Jesus's entrance in to this world, ie Christmas. The '7' signifies, at least in my Italian family, the 7 sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church. Of course, the Italians,, make a feast in itself in the fasting from meat...we have linguini with clam sauce, (first dish), then baked baccala, (cod fish), squid, octopus, fried smelts, stuffed mushrooms, fennel, fresh baked nuts and yes, we have dessert and coffee. After that, we have liquors...like Amaretto, Frangelico,, etc..

Each family has the exact fishes that are customary to their own family...but this is a good outline.

For Christmas Day, Jinger COULD look forward to a wonderful antipasto platter which consists of genoa salami, cappicola, prosciutto, sliced ham, mortadella (imported), provolone chunks, assorted olives with good Italian bread....then comes the main dish, usually, some baked type of pasta...lasagna, manicotti or ravioli with the "meat from the gravy" to follow; ie,, homemade meatballs, braciola and Italian sausage..salad....fruit....nuts yet again and Italian pastries...cannoli, sfogiatelle, 7 layer cookies, sesame cookies, RUM babas, (yes, rum), etc. or a Sicilian Cassatta cake with coffee, either "brown" or black Italian coffee. Of course, plenty of funny stories laughed about, MUSIC, dancing, many HUGS, not SIDE HUGS being passed around and of course, kisses and telling the family how much we love them....PRESENT opening too.

I hope she experiences some of this genuine love and warmth with some of Jeremy's Italian relatives. Hopefully they still keep up these wonderful traditions...It IS all about Jesus' birth.

Sorry if I veered off topic a bit, but this is what Jinger could be looking forward to.

Amen..... she looks fine. Although, her quilted vest is a men's style, which hopefully does not mean she's covering up a bump with Babe's (nice) vest. Maybe she was just cold.

[bigskygirl]

Michelle probably has the secret hots for Ben and Jeremy via Mrs. Robinson. If someone could be kind enough to turn on a few lights on in the Prayer Closet condo so I can find it in the dark I would appreciate it since my heathen thoughts are getting me into trouble.

[SMama]

This is predicated on Jinger not being pregnant. I wonder how many times she was asked if she is pregnant. I also wonder how many times Donkey Face made digs at Jeremy for not being fruitful and multiplying.  It really has to bother Boob that Jeremy did not fall in line, and under his thumb. Sadly whoever courts a Duggar daughter next is going to get a lot thrown at him, simply because Dim Bulb is frustrated.

 I was thinking ginger (jinger) is a spice (isn't it?) And maybe she thinks "babe" is sweet like sugar. But now I think you may be right. (But don't you show more than this before you can find out of its a boy or girl?)

NO telegraphing!  No, just NO.  Not yet.  It's still too soon.  We're not ready for a baby yet!

They're going to wait until the "Is Jinger PREGNANT?" speculation to die down at this point. Then once it dies down they'll finally have a kid.

Typing out Is Jinger PREGNANT reminds me of something from Yahoo! Answers.

The picture was posted by Jeremy.  Sugar for the candy Spice for Jinger. 

Later he gave her his vest because she was cold. Doubtful she’s pregnant. If so, at least they waited a year.

I wonder if Boob made some stupid remark again, like when he said JereMe's closet stunk (or is it stank?)  

I hope Boob is royally pissed that the Vuolos aren't expecting a blessing (at least not that they've announced.)

I wonder if Jana, Jill, Jessa or Joy has ever tucked a shirt into a skirt before.

Of course they are allowed to eat ham. Don't you know the ham was blessed by a Rabbi.

If that's from the one episode of Counting On I saw, he's spilling coffee on Jinger.

Not intentionally, but they stopped for Starbucks and he took the lid off his. Jinger cautioned him to be careful going around a corner, because it was going to spill, but he didn't listen. He turned a corner and the coffee spilled onto Jinger.

Not to defend, but it's not as bad as it sounds. Jinger wasn't burned, she was in good spirits about the whole thing, and she got in a good jab of "because physics" when he asked how she knew it would spill. He was dumb, but the exchange was very familiar and kind of cute, in a married couple way.

Jinger appears to be using birth control.

Jill has a nose ring.

Hairdresser comment ahead.  It is kinda BEC but have to say it.  Michelle has kind of a wide face so to give her hair width at the side and flat on top accentuates the overall width of her face.  Her hair looked SO much better when her friend got her a makeover.   She is not an old woman and could look more youthful if she updated her look.  I am only saying this because while she is uber modest, she seems to care how her countenance looks.  Her kids are slowly doing it so she should as well.  Who cares what Boob likes.  He obviously has zero fashion sense.  If I completely ignore their beliefs and how despicable they are as people, she is a pretty woman.   Pigs must be flying because I said something nice about Michelle.  OY!
