Christina87 January 17, 2019 Share January 17, 2019 (edited) Hannie looks like she's going to a country western type / clogging / BBQ place for some wholesome family fun, and wants to be the most feminine tween there in the skirt. Joy looks like she's on her way to work as the frumpiest librarian ever, on a rainy day when she has her period and is running late Jennifer looks like she is going to a spring wedding, but it just got colder out than they thought, so they found Mom's blazer in the back seat and threw it on her, just to wear into the church. I swear, I think the way they dress sometimes can be attractive (not here, but sometimes), but what bothers me is they have absolutely zero concept of dressing for an occasion! These three girls are at completely different levels of dressy! Edited January 17, 2019 by Christina87 16 Link to comment

Yup, I saw this on tumblr. The person told Joy that she was desperate to lose weight and asked Joy if the diet was healthy, since she has anorexia. Joy said something like, 'that's awesome' and that the drink was very clean and healthy. Someone then responded to Joy saying she wasn't qualified to give diet advice to an anorexic person. 26 Link to comment

Popular Post awaken January 18, 2019 Popular Post Share January 18, 2019 As someone with a masters in nutrition, joy and her health coach posing as weight loss or health experts is offensive.

Can’t JB splurge an extra 10 bucks and get some longer coats for the girls? I almost always wear skirts or dresses year round. Not for any made up religiousy reason, but because I look horrible in pants. I have a few knee length and ankle length coats that I got from thrift stores and discount department stores over the years. I get that it may not be that cold where they live, but they have to get cold in those thin little skirts. My butt and legs would be freezing. 12 Link to comment

Zella January 18, 2019 Share January 18, 2019 Even if Michelle taught them all about eating disorders, I'm not convinced Joy would know the word anorexia on sight or be able to puzzle it out on her own. So, I can totally buy her just zooming through her comments, not having the slightest idea what was said, even if she understands the concept in conversation. 20 Link to comment

Popular Post sleepysuzy January 18, 2019 Popular Post Share January 18, 2019 I have 20 years experience teaching college and high school writing, so I am a pro at trying to figure out what young people mean from poor writing. My guess would be that Joy thinks it is awesome that the person posting the question wants to be healthy and not relapse into anorexia. Joy has probably never been taught about considering her audience, tone, or word choice. 28 Link to comment

Or she just skimmed over the thing so fast -- looking for signs that somebody was interested in the product -- that she didn't even notice the person's introductory caveat. All she saw was "potential sale." Wouldn't be an uncommon thing for somebody to do that when they get a message from somebody they don't know -- and they think they know what the message will say before they even look at it. 9 Link to comment

GeeGolly January 24, 2019 Share January 24, 2019 It's a bit odd that all of a sudden baby gates are a thing at the TTH. I think Jackson was around 2 when they moved in, so 5 babies toddled through that house which is more kids than the average family and only now with grandchildren gates seem to be needed. To me it shows just how careless and checked-out Michelle was. Kudos to the daughters for not trusting their young sisters with keeping their kids out of harms way. 15 Link to comment
