Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!

[lookeyloo]

I feel like writing her a note asking why they grift when they undoubtedly live near a walmart?  And then tell her I made a donation in their name to Planned Parenthood and Human Rights Campaign.

And she didn’t go swimming. No modest bathing suit, or she needed to video the “party?”

I suspect she's menstruating. Pretty sure tampons are not an option for Jilly.

If you do that LookeyLoo (and I hope you do!), don't hold your breath waiting for a thank you note! 😉

[Growsonwalls]

It's very possible that the Duggars never really learned how to swim. They learned how to wade in heavy dresses but how were they really going to learn to swim? Especially the girls?

I make all mine in Mike Pence’s name .😃

Jill is never gonna write a thank you note. Ever. She is a special gift from Jesus who needs to be worshipped and bought presents. Cuz Jesus loves her the bestest.

[Steff]

When my gramma passed away, I got several random boxes of her stuff.  One large box had 3 plastic shoe box sized tubs filled with blank Thank You cards (and 2 more filled with blank Birthday/Get Well/Congratulation/every holiday card you can think of) .  Gramma was a Southern woman & they are definitely prepared when it comes to Thank You notes (or any possible reason needed for sending a card to someone).  I could send a box of them to Jilly Muffin with a note saying I know how hard it is to always be prepared & these will help get her a step up on thanking everyone who sends her something.  Ya know, some good Southern gramma guilt.  Not that it would work, but would be fun to see if she included them in her weekly "look at the shit we got" video.

I looks like she gets a dozen or so pieces of mail each time. How hard can it be to send a thank-you?

I'm half tempted to send her a box full of 500 thank you notes, and a full pen. Don't worry, I'm not spending one penny on these grifter, but I am tempted.

If you make a donation to Planned Parenthood in their name and provide the address for Jill's PO box they will not only send a thank you letter for the donation, they will add the Dillards to their mailing list and keep sending stuff. 😁

[Growsonwalls]

Ok I have to defend Jill a little here ... she's not grifting. Grifting would be making up a sob story and having people send her stuff. What she's doing is more like mooching and taking advantage of the kindness (or foolishness) of people who send her and her kids stuff.

But honestly, it's a bit depressing to see how common this behavior is among Instagram influencers. My least favorite videos have to be the Instagram live "unboxing" videos where said influencer squeals at all the nice stuff people have sent. 

[fonfereksglen]

Bet I would get a personal shout out if I sent a case of Cream of Mushroom soup!

This has been a thing for celebrity forever. It's kind of like a "Brush with Fame" syndrome, where people send gifts to famous people because it makes them happy to think someone famous now knows who they are when in reality a personal assistant is opening the mail and probably tosses 99% of the gifts. At least with the influencers, these poor deluded people get a shout-out during the unboxing.

I would never send a gift to someone I wasn't personally friends with or related to, but after following a few YouTube families for the last year, I understand how easy it is for someone to think they know these people.

People have been joking about the December baby boom since shit got serious on Wednesday. As far as Derelict is concerned, he probably got a lotioned up Jilly Muffin for a birthday present. 🙄

I have a friend who was born in August, 1966 and his parents always told him he was conceived during the great NYC power blackout in November, 1965.

I was working in an office building during that blackout - what a mess.  Derick and Jilly muffin wouldn’t have a clue how to navigate that mess

For Derick to write about having sex on his mind calls for clearing the shelves of brain bleach.  It's hard to imagine anyone less appealing than him.  Poor dumb Jill doesn't know any better I guess.

The Duggarverse, inclusive of adjacents, is quite full of people even less appealing than Dreck. Joshley, for one, though it's hard to imagine that any of the other male Duggars would be on anyone's "hot" list. Casting a little further afield, you have Shrek R. I think he might beat Dreck for the title of least appealing. There are others.

But, yeah, now I need some of that brain bleach that just got cleared off the shelves. Anyone have an extra bottle?

[Nysha]

Derick is the only Duggar man who regularly leaves the house for an actual purpose, if there is a Duggar December baby boom, it has nothing to do with the quarantine.

[Sew Sumi]

I was poking around the UofA Law School page yesterday looking for any information regarding closures. Didn't see anything, but I could have been looking in the wrong place. Maybe @Zella can give it a go? Law school seems so interactive; can they even go online, or will they make the students go to class?

I'll check when I'm on my laptop--hate sleuthing on a phone 😄 -- but I'd been under the impression all of the u of a shut down indefinitely last week. That shocked the hell out of me because they can be notoriously stubborn about closing. 

[Zella]

Pardon moi. Classes seem to be shutdown across campus, but the university itself has not closed down.

 https://news.uark.edu/articles/52541/in-person-classes-suspended-online-course-delivery-starts-march-16

That might be changing as cases increase. Governor called for public schools to be shut down starting Tuesday, with Monday optional attendance for districts to prepare if they need it. It wouldn't surprise me I'd that announcement makes u of a reevaluate.

Heaven forbid people be in isolation and not be having sex the whole time 

[Sew Sumi]

Jill made an entire video about shopping during the pandemic. Honey, we've all been there. I guess I will watch it. Not much else to do cooped up at home.

[Ljohnson1987]

I wonder if there will be a Duggar baby boom because of isolation.  It's not like they have anything else to do. Also, Derick said that Jill could possibly be pregnant by a certain month. Tell us what happened with Sam's birth, and maybe we'll be happy for you.

And they FOR SURE are not sitting around writing thank you notes. So we can't single out Jill on this one.

Kendra definitely going to get pregnant. Maybe Lauren. Joy is already pregnant?

Most of the Duggars don't go out too much as it is. I also suspect at least two of them are pregnant already.

Joe and Si don't seem to work much anyway so I doubt the quarrantine affects them much. Joy is suspected to be pregnant, but hasn't announced yet.

The Coronavirus: Our New Normal

Mar 16, 2020 | Family Blog, Photos | 1 

…”and the Lord will be with you.” -2 Chron. 20:17

I’m sure your community feels a lot like ours right now as the tension and uncertainties linger while the coronavirus pandemic continues. Ironically, weeks after we registered Israel for public school, the entire state of Arkansas has now shifted abruptly to forced homeschooling for the time being. That is, effective today, all Arkansas schools are closed. However, the rush for groceries and essentials began last week and many people began shifting to work from home where possible. 

Derick’s in-person classes have been canceled (moved online) and we are figuring out a new rhythm as we prepare and begin to spend a lot more time within the confines of our home. We are counting our blessings and praying for safety, strength and health for everyone here and around the globe.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all who continue to work tirelessly on the frontlines, whether in the medical field, grocery stores, in other support roles, etc. to keep everything going and save more lives! 

Last week, Jill and the boys got out to do a little shopping to try to find some supplies we were running low on. Below is a video of that shopping experience. 

We want to encourage you to think about ways you can help others during this time. Personally, we are limiting our movement outside of our home to do our part to limit spread of the virus, especially for those at greater risk. We have also reached out to family and friends to share our resources. 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. 

Our pastor shared a great message this week speaking directly about the uncertainties we are facing. We hope you will listen and find it encouraging! (click here for link.) Our regular church services have been canceled for now, but they will be streaming services online, as always, so feel free to tune in on Sundays at 9:30am & 10:55 (CST). (www.crosschurch.com/live) 

If you are local to NW Arkansas, our church is coordinating efforts to provide support to people, including drive-through care and possibly delivery options, especially for those at greater risk (click here for more info). There are also several local businesses providing free food to families and children affected by lack of resources and school closures, including but not limited to: Wright’s BBQ, Jersey Mike’s, Marco’s Pizza, Samaritan Community Center, JJ’s Grill, and CJ’s Burgers.

How have you been impacted by the virus? What are you doing to prepare & care for yourself and others? Do you have any helpful tips to keep kids busy and/or stay connected without passing along germs? Drop comments below.

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

[Sew Sumi]

I think Derelict wrote that. But it was thoughtful and not preachy. Take note, Caldwells!

Ugh, I can't stand Derick, but that was a nicely written post.

 The post is OK, except for the part about spending more time at home. It’s not like Jill will notice much difference.  I’m not crazy about a public health emergency being called forced homeschooling either.  I also doubt there are really any international friends. That being said this,is the kind a post that Jeremy needs to write.

good on Jill and Derick for showing items that have been recommended to have on hand, and in an amount appropriate for the size of their family.

Edited March 17, 2020 by crazy8s

[Growsonwalls]

Derick's writing makes me realize how much I miss complete sentences whenever I see what Jilly-Muffin or the rest of the Duggars have written. That series of complete sentences just made my heart swell. I'm quarantined so thankful for small gifts but ... yeah.

[leighdear]

I don't buy a single, self-serving word he writes. 

We have never, ever seen or heard of them exhibiting any type of community generosity of spirit or goods unless it benefited them.  What he writes sounds so generous, yet has it ever been meaningfully demonstrated by any Dillards?  Just banana bread and Dum Dums.  

 Other family members have done "visible acts of charity", but only when displayed to the media.  The Dillards do the same things in the most minimal ways possible.
