Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!

[madpsych78]

Jill's video...did not suck.

Other than the "yay" at the end, which was typical cheesy Jill, there were other times where she had a bit of snark going on about finding toilet paper. And I did LOL at the pan to the Corona beer. But I recently shopped at a Walmart so I get it and I get their blog post.

And after living in other countries ourselves, we try to be more aware of the added difficulties some of our international friends face when crisis hits, so we have been in contact with them too. 

Ugh, every now and then they say something that tugs at my heart.  It’s a pleasant surprise to see him take notice of his priveledge. This is actually a very real and scary situation for international families in our country.  I teach ESOL students and I’m stressing because they don’t have access to a lot of resources at the moment.  When we left for Spring Break on Friday we had no idea that we wouldn’t be seeing our students for many weeks.  Many of the teachers in my school are kicking themselves for not sending home extra snacks and non-perishables.  

Anyway, good for Derick for acknowledging that others have it more difficult than he does during this weird time.

And one of the babies will be named Corona or Korona.

I'm not sure Jill and Derick understand social distancing. Everytime one of them goes out into the community they become a potential patient zero for their family. So if they're wanting to do the lotion slip and slide more frequently, they're increasing their risk of potentially infecting each other.

[Jeeves]

I'm cutting Derick some slack about that post he wrote. Unlike Jilly Muffin, he didn't grow up isolated in a cult family compound. He's kind of dorky but was social enough to apparently enjoy his years at university, and to carry on a family tradition by doing the Pistol Pete mascot gig. I don't think he's as devoid of empathy as some most of his in-laws (looking at you, Jessa, Jed!2020, Josh, Anna, JB . . . ). He may have gone to Nepal to do some missionary work but he seems to have learned things and made friends while there. I think his law school years have been a genuine educational experience - in contrast to his poseur BIL out in LA who seems to have learned zilch about life or theology while he preens for the camera and steers his meek wife from one "influencer" PR f*ckup to another.

Most of us are works in progress, including Derick. I think he'll always be a typical Arkansas Southern Baptist, very conservative socially and politically, but I also think some of his views may be tempered by experience as life goes on. I think he's been decompressing - if not deprogramming - from his years in fundieland as a Duggar in-law. I'm not going to scoff at his expressions of empathy. It's encouraging that a few years under JB's thumb didn't squash all the empathy out of him.

Does Derick routinely need a globe for law school assignments? 🤪

Pretty sure I have more call to use one for fact-checking editing assignments, but alas, I don't have one. I just use Google when I'm verifying place names.

Gynecologist here.   Plenty of people have sex all the time when they're home alone.  Don't let the lack of a partner deter you.

Probably not, but I figured it was maybe from his school days when he was a kid and he likes to have it around.

 Is it the same Jill that walked around barefoot in the hospital?

Her voice for seven minutes is annoying. I was annoyed actually within three minutes. She sounds kind of dumb and yet condescending at the same time.

I hope Israel and Sam are not looking through that window during sexy lotion time. They will need a lot of brain bleach for that.

So is Dillweeds school closed for the time being? Him being home all the time will mean Jilly needs more lotion than normal. Anyone have any brain bleach I can borrow?

Most colleges will be closed for the rest of the semester (I would guess)

I believe the one here in town(big ten school) is only doing online classes and canceled their spring commencement ceremonies. I can't imagine they are the only ones.

 My program has gone online only. I have three more weeks of one class, then a month-long class and then no in person graduation.  All of my clinicals are online too, so no more time with real patients. I will get my degree but it has been three years and this is all kind of annoying right at the end. I actually feel for Derreck a little bit. Only a little bit. 

( anyone want to place a wager that that globe is one of those bar globes full of various bottles of alcohol? )

[Sew Sumi]

My former community college where I worked as a tutor actually hopes to resume classes after the shelter in place is lifted on 4/7. I seriously doubt that will happen. I am sure tutors are done for the semester. 

[Zella]

Arkansas officials keep making vague comments that schools will reopen on March 30 after spring break, but I don't think anyone actually believes them. 

Clarification: this is public schools. I don't think U of A has made any commitment to length of time.

The Chancellor of Derick's law school issued a directive on March 12 which among other things stated:

Quote

 

we are suspending in-person classes effective immediately and will move to an all-online or other alternative method of course delivery starting Monday, March 16th and continuing through the remainder of the semester.

To be clear, this is not a closure. 

 

Yesterday (March 18) there was another directive which among other things stated that all on-site campus activities are cancelled until further notice. 

Looks like Derick's doing classes online. I'm glad he has an office at home where he can do his classes without distractions from his family, and Jill and the boys don't have to tiptoe around because he's on his laptop.

[dariafan]

But now he has no escape from jilly

Jer and Ginger should take note - Jill’s post blows Jer’s post about the virus out of the water.

You mean Derick’s post? 😊 There’s no way in hell that Jill wrote that, and honestly, Derick’s not half-bad at writing composition.

I watched the entire video, and it was better than most of the other videos that she’s come up with.

Actually, she and the boys look really cute in that video.

If that globe is for the kids...then, Yay! At least they're learning that the world isn't flat with the Ark floating off the edge. (Yes, globes are still used in schools.)

Just FYI.....try Big Lots for TP and paper towels.....early...when they open in the morning.

Cathy's at it again. Yeah hon, praying is really going to protect you. 🙄

Jilly looks like she's got major cleavage going on in this pic. I'm sure it's some kind of condiment-colored top, but Lolli might want to shut this down.

That's been there for quite a while.

I also wonder who challenged Jill in that swan4kids thing. It wasn't Jinger, and I suspect she was on the front lines of this. It also wasn't Jana or Erin Bates Paine, who haven't taken up the challenge.
