Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!

[sixlets]

Completely random thoughts--

Aside from the hair, Jill could pass for a normal 20-something woman in the first pic. 
I feel like Dreck's teeth are doing the cha-cha slide~to the left, to the right...
That organization's Twitter handle is awful.  All I can see is 'get tit at sams'.  
I made Mr. Six promise me to never buy brown dress shoes.  Black suit?  Black shoes.
Jill's hashtags in her pupusas post make no sense.  They are clickable and will show the top posts.  She has the only post for the first one, the second has 10 (including hers), the third has millions, and the fourth only shows hers.  As long as you put the # first, you can turn anything into a hashtag.  They're just supposed to make sense.  Ah-ha.  That's the whole problem.

ETA--the Fanta label shows it's made in Mexico, so it has real sugar in it as opposed to the HFCS that's added to soda in the US.  If you can get your hands on it, it's actually quite good and tastes a great deal different.  The Pepsi, in particular, is great.

They  love them some latin culture- oops but not enough to learn the language while they lived there.

Yeah, it's sold every where around here too, but yet I still see people acting like it's an exotic treat all the time. Honestly, I think half the problem is it was looked at as a "generic"  brand that was mostly overlooked for years until it almost became trendy and people noticed it on the shelves. The Mexican real sugar version is harder to find, but it's still pretty common too. I swear they sell it at Dollar General, so it's not exactly a rarity. Although, the county I live in has a pretty sizable migrant work force during the summer, so that could factor in.

The last picture of Jill is very nice -- she has spared us her special "surprise face" and looks like a normal person.

Too bad the same can't be said about the Fanta pic.

In Jill's TH with Jinger, she calls them "our kids". What a strange way to refer to your siblings. Just shows how much parenting the girls actually did.

How has it been this long and Dreck's jaw is still such a mess? It's like his mouth is to the far right of the rest of his face. I can't explain it. 

i started wondering if it is more to do with his nose being crooked?

[Sew Sumi]

Call me a wimp, but I cannot stare at Derelict Dullard's face long enough to make any appraisals with regards to its asymmetry. I did, however, notice he still has braces. He had his surgery when Izzy was just two weeks old. Three and a half years ago now...

[Lukeysboat]

Poor, uneducated Jill. 

People in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador are not Spanish unless they’ve traveled there from SPAIN. 

I wonder if she has figured that out yet.

It is really popular and probably the most common brand you'll see in El Salvador which is probably why that particular restaurant has it. And, as noted above, it's got real sugar in it down there and tastes much better than the stuff sold in the US, IMO.  Those pupusas look delicious.

[GeeGolly]

Our local Target, Walmart and our local grocery store sell the Mexican, real sugar version. I'm guessing the convenience stores nearby do as well.

When I was in Peru I fell in love with a soda called Inca Cola. It’s like liquid heaven. I was so excited when I discovered our local South American grocery sells it that I bought about 12 bottles.

Inca Cola! No better beverage to wash down cuy!  I don’t love Inca Cola, but I don’t mind it, either.

Oh the stripper heels have to go. That's all I can see, other than the fact she wore a dress the same color as the jeep.

Now it's a nicely fitting dress and she looks great from the ankles up.

The first thought I had was "Where do I buy those shoes?" I love the outfit.  Very inline with what women her age are wearing.

[Marshmallow Mollie]

Do you think Derick is under the care of an oral surgeon or orthodontist? 

I think his teeth look even more off center. It seems like there should be some improvement in three years.

I don't think the problem is his teeth -- the entire lower half of his face is out of alignment with the upper half.

He's not a great looking guy, but I don't really think it would be that noticeable if he was a colleague or friend. The problem is that we see still photos of his face all the time.

[Marshmallow Mollie]

I wonder what the end game is. Does he get the braces off when those top teeth are where they should be? Are the braces there to stabilize his teeth? I wonder if the top and bottom teeth line up so he can chew. Or if he is grinding down his teeth in weird ways because they don’t line up. 

So. Many. Questions! It is so perplexing!

[Christina87]

I was suspicious about this picture at first...looked like a repeat. I knew we had seen Jill in that outfit, and she looked too...normal or something. I found the old picture, and that was pre-surgery for Derick, so this one is definitely current! Jill looks suspiciously good here, but maybe it's because there's no surprise face.

I think that's Jinger's kitchen.

Wanna bet this is the prep post for “Jesus leading their hearts” in a new direction come December when DeRick’s no longer law schooling. 

So...is that the same as “God laying it on their hearts”? Or if Jesus is leading their hearts to Little Rock and God is laying it on their hearts to return to Danger America, do they flip a coin?

Either way, I call Derrick’s out of law school by Christmas.

[Absolom]

Is Derick so bad he'd get a 1.49 or lower the first semester?  It's possible I guess.  People have to do it or they wouldn't have the rule.

[MunichNark]

Morning all, before i hop out of bed to get ready, i just looked up what hgfs might be and compared fanta ingredients.

theres no actual orange juice in your fanta?!? Just aroma? Do you not use sugar in drinks?

i actually love the olive green dress??, i would buy it.

the other photos are horrible and for people who luuuurve spanish culture, they sure couldnt wait to hotfoot it home every two weeks.

and i cannot bear to look at dreck photos either..

[kokapetl]

My theory on Derick's mouth is that a second surgery to center his teeth was planned.

When I was in high school, one of my friends went to Spain as an exchange student. When she came back one of our other friends said, "I bet you met hella cute Mexicans in Spain!" I guess she and Jill are kindred spirits.

Fanta is not one of the high end soft drinks, so they use artificial flavoring.  In the US, the most popular orange flavor carbonated beverages do indeed contain actual oranges, but they cost more.  In El Salvador, the vast majority couldn't afford to ever buy pop if it wasn't cheap.  In the US, drinks that contain sweeteners tend to contain high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) rather than cane sugar.  Once again, cheaper.

Cookbooks in Jill's collection.

[Mindthinkr]

Does Jill know about libraries? You can find numerous cookbooks there to check out. Then if she tries and likes a recipe she can copy it onto a file card. I have a friend with a 3 ring binder. She finds recipes online and prints them out for her notebook. She also has clear pages that she can insert ones that she has cut out of magazines. I love it when I visit her. If I like something she’ll just go over to her printer and make me a copy. I really need to get organized and start doing this. 

Jill should begin with crockpot recipes. You know, actual unprocessed food that’s cooked downwith some real spices. A little herb garden would be a great project for her and the boys. She can even give extras (dried) in small containers as gifts. Wait. Jill wouldn’t put that much work into anything. What am I, #delusional?

No. I’m not sure why so many people think he’s going to flunk out. Jill’s as dumb as a sack of hammers but Derick graduated from college with a decent GPA. He’s an idiot in a lot of ways but he’s not book stupid. He’s at a third-tier law school, not Harvard. He can make Cs with a minimum of effort. It wouldn’t surprise me if he leaves because he can’t stick to anything longer than a year, or because Jill makes it too hard for him to continue, but I don’t see him getting kicked out for poor grades. 

[Temperance]

In the Fanta soda picture, Jill looks a lot like her older sister Jana. Maybe it's just the expression.

For the sake of the local library workers,  I hope Jill never discovers the public library.  Jill would probably raise up a storm if she finds books available for check out that don't fit her narrow world view.  She would find her cookbooks and then notice that the library has picture books like Jazz Jennings and And Tango Makes Three.

I think it's not so much that he would get poor grades from not studying as he would disagree and try to argue against various laws and precedents that don't fit his Biblical beliefs.  Derick doesn't do well with information that conflicts with his fundie worldview.  Back in undergrad, as an accounting major, I doubt it was a consideration.  But, in law school, he's going to have to learn about the US Constitution and secular laws and I can see him having a hard time backing down from his beliefs in order to explain why gay marriage was legalized or why the Supreme Court upheld the right to privacy regarding abortion.  I could see him quitting because he didn't like being bombarded with information that conflicts with his narrow minded belief system.

And, of course, because Jill is unable to cope with him being away from home and fraternizing with those hussies down at Law School.

Just picture Jill taking the kids to story time and finding out one of the kids has 2 mommies.  Or, one of the books they read in December is a story about Hannukah.  Or they read a book about little Muslim children and their lives.  Her head would explode.

God forbid the librarian reads Harry Potter to the kids!

I think Derrick is too full of himself to handle the sheer hard work law school requires...not to mention having to be the ass kisser instead of the ass kissee.

He’ll bail out in the name of Jesus somehow.

When I used to stay with relatives on vacation in the Dominican Republic, I loved drinking their pepsi (they didn't have too much coke) or other soft drinks. They tasted so good compared to ours.

October 2018 Pictures and Videos

Nov 12, 2018 | Family Blog, Photos | 0 

Here are some pictures and videos from the month of October that we haven’t shared in previous web posts yet. This fall the trees have been absolutely beautiful in our area and the weather has been lovely! This month we got to take a trip to the pumpkin patch with “Mima” (Derick’s mom) and had a blast! You’ll see lots of pics and videos from there in this post. We also got to celebrate my sister Joy’s birthday with her at a surprise birthday party hosted by a friend!

Why on earth would anyone watch a law school class online? Other than someone who is out sick that day.

Does she really think knowing "bankruptcy" law makes her able to comprehend the class? I'm sure the professor won't even mention perpendicular. She's functioning on a 7th grade level honestly (that's my take on her brains).

There was a time I could walk in shoes like that..... not so much anymore. I do think she looks nice its a pretty classic dress but shorter hair would have looked more polished.

Jill would have a coronary at my library.

We had a storytime with a drag queen. 

In my hand today, I had a kids picture book that tells the story of a three-legged cat. At the end, the author explains the real story of this cat, and his owners are her brother and his husband. Derick the asshole would be disgusted that such filth exists. 

[GeeGolly]

First watching your husband's college class?? Like WTF!?! Jill, you're a stay at home parent. Do your job.

Anyone else besides me and Mima Cathy think poor Sammy was going to need stitches on his face by the end or the wooden-horse/hayride?

The video of Derick and Sammy vacuuming was cute. At 2 minutes and 23 seconds it was about 2 minutes too long.

Right?! Why the hell would they watch that? Only thing I can see is if Izzy kept asking where daddy was, so she pulled it up for a brief minute and explained quickly that daddy was in this class. 

She has the lifestyle I wish I had (SAHM, not married to Derick haha!) and I hate seeing her squander it! She should be doing enriching activities with her kids, and using her time to make more nutritious meals. So many people would love to be in her shoes!

Well, the fundies can still celebrate fall. Christian schools and churches have fall festivals. Pumpkin patches can be about the pumpkins, a hayride for the kids, games for the kids, other produce like apples, cornfield mazes, the changing of the leaves, etc. I went to a Christian school in the 70s and eighties, and we had fall festivals. I still trick or treated with my cousin. Living in the conservative South and having a fundie aunt(who wouldn't let her children celebrate Halloween), I observe how religious people try to differentiate between fall and Halloween.
