StaceyNotStacie June 13, 2019 Share June 13, 2019 Since Jill and her family lived with Mary for a period of time, I’m surprised she didn’t pick up any homemaking skills from her. I’m sure Mary would have enjoyed passing on recipes or other skills that she had (if she had them). 7 Link to comment

NotFundie June 14, 2019 Share June 14, 2019 This is probably nitpicky but on the Dillard blog Jill writes about her grandma and grandpa and uses "g'ma" and "g'pa". Seems lazy. Also, I'm a grandma and I'd prefer not to have an apostrophe in my title. She says that her grandpa was a kid at heart and her grandma had to keep him in line. Wow, Jill. Really thoughtful and respectful there. 😑 (When God-botherers come to my door, I just smile and say, "Thank you but I am a confirmed Druid." The look of confusion as I close the door is lovely.) 16 2 Link to comment

BigBingerBro June 14, 2019 Share June 14, 2019 Yeah I don't buy the notion that Jill didn't know the details about how she died when she posted that. I mean if someone calls or texts that your grandmother died, the majority of us would insist on knowing what happened right then and there. I feel she was internalizing her grief and trying to be light-hearted, but it just looked immature and tacky. Let's face it, Jill herself is a victim who more than likely has not dealt with her own abuse. She's bound to have inappropriate reactions and emotions. 13 Link to comment

This is what the survival guide says (scroll down just a little for a summary in English with links to the actual guide): Under the rainbow you are not alone (Official page of the Swedish Church, Västerås diocese) And this is the Wakeupendtime interpretation of it: The Swedish Church creates LBGTQ view of Bible, claims Jesus was queer Which is a bit like reading a house of mirrors version of the thing. It's not technically untrue, but the spin... oh the spin. Also, as fair warning, there is a picture of Donald Trump glaring at you when you access the page and I'm not sure why unless they think he's the Antichrist about to bring about Armageddon or something.

I keep trying to be generous in my thoughts towards a grieving family (as my own family is starting to grieve with my grandpa in hospice care), but this crap makes me crazy. You really need to HASHTAG your grandmother?! If people are following you, they know what this is about. Also, just TEXT YOUR COUSINS to say thanks for the card. Do you really need to tag them on InstaStory because you got the mail?? I mean, when you actually PLANT THE TREE, fine, post a photo and tag them. Ugh, even the way the card is sorta open so you can see their names (as if we wouldn't believe it was from who she said or something) is make me crazy.

We don't call them funeral potatoes, realize they are devoid of any real nutrition, and really only have them with ham for Easter, but they do taste good. I'm with you. We call them "Company Potatoes" in our family. I originally found the recipe in a cookbook put out by my son's elementary school & that's what it was called. The recipe was submitted by one of my son's teachers so he thought that was neat when I started making them. My SIL makes them as part of our Christmas Eve celebration each year. I hate to think of the repercussions if she ever stopped. I would like to add a few suggestions to Jill's recipe: Make sure the hashbrowns are completely thawed. It helps in the baking/cooking process as well as making it easier to combine the ingredients. I've used both shredded & cubed hash browns& prefer the cubed ones. I've also tried the O'Brien kind of potatoes. (Think that's what they're called. They have cut up peppers & I think onions in them. Adds a little zing.) I use crushed potato chips as the topping instead of the corn flakes. (Mainly because my mom always used them as her casserole topping of choice while I was growing up. It's a genetic thing, lol.) I've heard of people adding cut up ham or other cooked meat to make it a main dish casserole. There are plenty of variations on the recipe sites. IIRC, the "Funeral Potatoes" name has Amish roots as it was a part of their funeral luncheons. It will be interesting to know what the Duggars will do for Mary's post-funeral luncheon/dinner. Maybe they can hold it in the flipped house for sale that has the 4 kitchens. Plenty of room for the food & people. Not sure about parking though. But the more I think about it I picture them passing out popcorn, pickles & snack mix in Cross Church's parking lot. (Similar to Jill & Jessa's wedding receptions.) Grandma Duggar deserves so much better. 8 Link to comment

This end-times stuff is tied to very right wing U.S. political cult and operates on fear, hate, and suspicion--with ample doses of misogyny, racism, homophobia, and xenophobia. It's scary because some of these Dominionists feel they need to hasten Jesus's arrival by taking over American institutions to make them "godly" (their version of what God wants, the correct version) and interfere with Middle East politics to fulfill prophesies they see in Revelations (e.g., tail wags dog). Last I heard, Trump was sent by God to help bring about the Second Coming (useful idiot?), and Obama and/or the Pope is the Antichrist to lure the faithful from their path. Who knows? The details are flexible when convenient. The Internet is filled with websites and videos about this stuff. However, seeing it on Pinterest, home of folksy wedding tableaus and Stitch Fix wardrobe favorites, is very unsettling indeed. And I agree that the Dillards are much more extreme than they would have us believe. The Duggars may fall into this group too, but they're well-practiced in hiding it. 1 11 Link to comment
