Portia September 15, 2017 Share September 15, 2017 Decades ago, when visiting a friend at a Christian college, I sat through a for-women-only seminar led by a visiting team that I realized much later HAD to have been the Gothard outfit. We were told that female masturbation was a sin. 4 Link to comment

kalamac September 15, 2017 Share September 15, 2017 Yeah, you couldn't keep shoes on me when I was a kid, so I won't ding them for that. I could walk barefoot on just about any surface, including scorching hot pavement in the middle of an Australian summer and be fine, my feet were so toughened up. 18 Link to comment

Jellybeans September 15, 2017 Share September 15, 2017 Now, now... I grew up without shoes on playing outdoors in the south (snakes everywhere) and so did my kids. We all lived. Cute picture. He's having fun. 14 Link to comment

Soles like leather. Our community pool had a gravel parking lot (which was frequently scorching hot) and they blithely walked across it every day, all summer. They are in their twenties now and one of them still barely wears shoes if it can be avoided. 10 Link to comment
Zahdii September 15, 2017 Share September 15, 2017 My FIL, born about 1923, was the oldest of six or seven kids. He remembers that during the summers they were allowed to run barefoot when playing and only had to wear boots when working with the cattle, in the fields, or going to church. His youngest brother took that to extremes and wore his boots as little as possible all year long. FIL remembers his brothers having to hold the youngest down at the end of the summer while their father used a pocket knife to pry the gravel and other stuff out of his feet, then they'd have to soak his feet in water and use a rasp to take off the top layers of the calluses, with rubs of lanoline or Bag Balm in between, before their mother would consent to take the boy to town for new boots. It was an all day experience and the boy screamed the whole time because he just hated wearing boots. (He changed his tune when girls got interesting to him and he didn't want to look like a hayseed in front of them.) 14 Link to comment

To be fair, houses can't be that expensive in Podunk, Arkansas and going by the kitchen that place is a serious fixer-upper. 1 Link to comment

If each generation slides back about 3 years, in a few generations we will have some ;grandbabies' just remaining in the fetal position mainlining nutrients from the mom/host. The good news is it limits them to one child per family. Praise Jebus. 16 Link to comment
floridamom September 16, 2017 Share September 16, 2017 It looks like Izzy is standing on red mulch. We have that in our flowerbeds and I tell you, it's SHARP. I had a few small cuts in my hands when I was weeding without garden gloves. Iz should be wearing some type of footwear, even rubber flip flops when walking on that stuff. 3 Link to comment

I think you make a good joke! -- But I have a feeling that what's in Der's mind is the fact that they're back in Arkansas now, and Izzy's used to feeding chickens some place else. 2 Link to comment

Sew Sumi September 17, 2017 Share September 17, 2017 I think they've mentioined keeping chickens. The boys build a coop and pen, Jana buys tea lights ala Joanna Gaines design. I totally believe it's on Duggar property. Don't forget Jana's newfound love of gardening which would explain the entrance to the coop. It definitely wasn't at that petting zoo with the tortilla that they went to a few weeks back. That place was dusty and just plain sad. 1 Link to comment

At least it has a tallish sunken-wire fence so other people's random babies can't crawl in and ask for her assistance. Edited September 17, 2017 by Churchhoney 4 Link to comment

Derick, I know education isn't SUPER valued in your smarmy little prick culture, but it is considered proper to capitalize the pronoun when referring to the deity you blindly worship, and who also ordained you with the Earthly authority to declare yourself superior to the rest of humanity. Think about it. That's quite the solid He did for you. The least you could do is capitalize Him.

ariel September 18, 2017 Share September 18, 2017 I see some people defending the Duggars when they do unsafe things with their kids because they did the same things & are alive to tell about it. When I was a kid, people didn't wear seatbelts. Somehow some of us survived. Would I recommend that foolishness now - no way! Just because people did stupid things once upon a time & somehow survived, doesn't make it ok to do it now. We now know better. 13 Link to comment

Walking barefoot outside with an adult is different to no seatbelts though i wouldn't be walking around outside without shoes and go after my son when he does But a great percentage of the world do walk around barefoot, I just don't see it on the same level of danger as driving without seatbelts or being outside on a hot day without sun protection Edited September 19, 2017 by Totally 8 Link to comment
