I also love ignore, mute and block. I was watching an episode of Designing Women called Nightmare From Hee Haw. They had Nub the traveling gynecologist who helped deliver babies in the family. He thought one of his daughters had the name Tomale. I thought of Dr. JillPhonyian when Nub was talking about delivering babies and was considered an expert because his family thought he was one. Daddy Jones reminds me of an older version of JB. The other two sons remind me of the older Duggar sons and Derick. Can I just say that it is my ultimate dream to be one with Julia Sugarbaker?

Jynnan tonnix November 21, 2017 Share November 21, 2017 Same here...The first time we were stationed in Hawaii, we had a house with no a/c for the whole 4+ years we were there. Granted, it probably wasn't quite as hot there as Central America, but still...And when we were stationed in Guam, there were almost daily (semi-scheduled) power outages because there was never enough power on the island due to the brown tree snakes constantly knocking out the electrical substations. Not to mention the power outages after typhoons and the major earthquake which hit while we were there.

Absolom November 21, 2017 Share November 21, 2017 Speaking of showering under the runoff from the roof, if it's 95 degrees out an easy way to get hot water for the bath is sit some pails, buckets, pans, etc. out on the porch in the sun for awhile. Take two or three into the shower with a pitcher and wash away. 8 Link to comment

Interesting choice of words, to me, because I very much live in my own head. I always have, though it took me until well into adulthood before I was really able to identify and define that, and I rather hate it, because it does keep me from being "connected" with the world and other people in the same way that I feel "normal" people are. Maybe I have a toe into the autism spectrum or something, I don't really know. Had I been born in this day and age, I probably would have been diagnosed with something somewhere along the line, but that's neither here nor there. Point is that while I do have that tendency, I also recognize it, and try my best to at least act as though I'm more connected with the world than I might naturally feel, and follow the rules that empathetic and caring people follow because it seems important to be a decent person rather than a completely self-absorbed one. Not sure I'm making much sense here, but what you said did sort of make me think. Still, it seems odd that people like that should feel drawn to missionary work. 19 Link to comment

We do not have a functioning washing machine or dryer, and no hot shower for us since our shower does not work. We also do not have an oven that works either, but we have manage to survive. I was reading my family history. My great-great grandmother traveled over a hundred miles in one week to get to my great-great grandfather after her infant son died in the late 1880's out in the middle of Montana. She had her other children with her and traveled on foot to get to him and also to make sure her son had a proper burial with a religious ceremony. My great-great grandmother was full blooded Native American and was religious and took crap from no one.

I also imagine that most homicides in El Salvador, like in most places, aren’t random slayings of strangers. ITA with you that it’s not like Derrick and Jill were walking around with targets on their backs. I've been to El Salvador half a dozen times. Virtually all the homicides are drug and gang related. It is extremely uncommon for a foreign visitor to be killed. Robbed, sure, but not killed, especially if living in situations (walled compound with armed guards) where stray bullets aren't going to be flying. I never worried about getting shot there, anymore than I spend much time worrying about it when traveling through bad neighborhoods or whatever here. I grew up in a duplex, shotgun style house in the inner city. 5 kids, mom and dad and grandfather. No air conditioning, no windows on one side of the house (duplex), so no air moving. We weren't the only ones, 40 years ago air conditioning was a luxury and most of us lived without it and didn't know any better. We had exactly one bathroom for 8 people, clawfoot tub with no shower. No way that every single one of us was able to bathe every day (we didn't share bathwater except as toddlers). especially since our hot water tank would only fill the tub about half way and it took more than an hour for enough water to heat to refill it. Anyway, I grew up not bathing every day and, while I have that luxury now, I don't think it is unhygienic not to do so. However, I was taught to wash up in the sink and I do mean thoroughly. There's no reason Jill and Derick need to bathe daily to be clean, but washing daily is a must. In Europe, many people don't shower daily and, yet, they manage to be clean and presentable. It ain't that hard. ETA: During my six weeks or so in El Salvador, I have NEVER stayed anywhere that had air conditioning. Even most restaurants don't (big open windows and ceiling fans). Our mission house had upstairs dorm-style bedrooms sleeping between 4-6 people apiece. No ceiling fans, just a single pedestal style fan per room. And, of course, providing medical care out in the community, we sweated along with everyone else. It is generally mid 80's and humid there much of the time from what I've seen. I did buy one of those personal fan/water bottle combos at the Dollar Store before my last trip to use while sitting in an enclosed exam room without a window or fan; I felt spoiled for having it.

You can definitely do it while staying in your own head. Unless it's a true charitable-helper-type mission, it actually kind of requires being in your own head. Lots of interesting thoughts in here. That's probably why they can do these ridiculous missioncations is because they live in their own head. Dillards & Duggars don't perceive or process that people need more than Bibles. Derick thinks a Bible is THE most important thing and that is fine for HIM and his life. But Derick lives in his own head and cannot understand that OTHER people might consider food, water, shelter, safety, medical care a higher priority. That really is living in your own head...doing what YOU think is a priority and never stopping to think "what does this person need? Not, "What do I want to give them?" That's probably why the Duggars think they are very charitable people but we find them to be cheap and thoughtless. The Duggars don't have the ability to walk in another's shoes. The Duggars get up and decided they feel like doing XYZ as an act of charity. No consideration that what they want to do and what people need are two different things. So it often comes off as...nuts, self involved, useless, silly etc. I think humanitarian aide/mission work should consist of arriving in your location and finding out what people truly need. Not what your own personal agenda is for a particular group of people. The Duggars are socially and emotionally very immature. Childish. Like when you are sick and a small child brings you lego to feel better! Most of us here can take a step back and reflect on others. That is higher level thinking and they are totally missing that.

MamaMax November 21, 2017 Share November 21, 2017 I suppose it's hard to go back when you've been accustomed to central air. Growing up, I never had a/c in my bedroom and I slept fine. We had awnings on our windows to keep the sun out and keep the house cooler, and we were able to keep them open in the rain as well. I wonder why no one does awnings anymore? Anyway, I now have the GREAT PRIVILEGE to live in a lovely house with a/c in most rooms. I think it would be harder for me to sleep now in the serious heat/humidity without it. 8 Link to comment

GeeGolly November 21, 2017 Share November 21, 2017 (edited) In addition to what @Marigold and @Churchhoney said about the Dillards living in their heads in regard to missionary work, its all about the romance and heroism, but in fairy-tale form. The Dillards have fantasies of being heroes by saving the world one person at a time - Stop. They fail to realize the hard work, planning, sacrifice and dedication a true missionary needs. IMO, interpretive dance, pick-up basket games, unattended English spoken sermons and banana bread is not going to have a large impact. What was their plan beyond that? I'm guessing none, because the fail to recognize the reality of what needs to happen between Once upon a time and Happily ever after. And one more thing, because I'm feeling extra snarky ... If Izzy donned a cape and tried to fly of the couch Derick would ramble out some Tweet of Izzy and how everything his kid does/thinks is wrong. Well, Derick how's your Fundy cape working for you?

queenanne November 22, 2017 Share November 22, 2017 Poor little guy... I predict the runny-nosed picture will cause him great embarrassment in his later years. (Of course, I'm the type of person who mops the noses of strange kids in the congregation when running nursery. I'm good at mopping without getting my hands wet and containing the goop in a tissue. The secret is a kind of circular-twirl-and-fold.) 6 Link to comment

I didn't ever watch Designing Women, but I know who you mean. You must go to the prayer closet right now and watch the quintessential Julia Sugarbaker declaration. She was magnificent. 5 Link to comment

I didn't realize the difference was highest CITY homicide rate vs highest COUNTRY homicide rate, which makes total sense, and isn't that hard to understand, except, of course, unless you are me and you try to understand it before you've had coffee. I really was just being incredibly thick, not challenging. Sorry. :) I get that. I have a two year old that hates to sleep. I don’t think I could even type my name before my second cup of coffee. ? 2 Link to comment

Marigold November 22, 2017 Share November 22, 2017 Derick just needs to get off of Twitter. Really. Just step away. He makes it worse with every single tweet. 12 Link to comment

I have no doubt that 99.9 percent of what Cathy says is incorrect. I just thought it was interesting that she got something right for a change. 3 Link to comment
