Regarding the partying with a pandemic...I can't judge.  They're adults and will have to accept the consequences 

I can damn sure judge. These morons, Duggars and Bates, are part of a large family that isn't isolating from each other or anyone else. If one of them ends up testing positive they could be responsible for infecting most of AK before it's over.

AR (unless someone's gone flying out to Alaska...), but yes, I agree with the sentiment!

Thank you! I kept going through all the A- state abbreviations I could remember but the only one I knew for sure was AZ=Arizona. AR was just too easy.

And obviously I was way too lazy to Google it. The Duggars just aren't worthy of my mad Google skillz.

Don't feel bad! A couple of years ago, I was watching a PBS show that had us down as AK. 🤣

At least he's sitting on the floor this time?

From the photos Joy posts about Giddy getting into things he shouldn't be in to, Joy does not watch her son very well, IMO, nor does she keep things from his reach. I never had a problem with that with my boys because I put things away where they couldn't get into them. I don't think Joy is that organized.

[galaxychaser]

Or it’s a photo op. Hope Austin cleaned that up. Can’t imagine it’s very comfortable cleaning when heavily pregnant.

Something like Giddy's shenanigans is more typical of a parent with more than one kid, like maybe 19. Lets hope she's more careful with poisonous cleaners, sharp utensils and hot burners.

[ginger90]

I hope Joy and Austin realize this could have had a bad outcome, health wise for Gideon. Considering it was posted, and the caption, I’m guessing not. 😔

My apologies if someone's already posted this, but Austin's sister, the one married to Ballinger's son, has their third child and first son this past week. Reading between the lines of the Facebook post seems like it was a home birth.

Yes I heard rumors that she had her third child this week, but I couldn't confirm. Meagan Ballinger gave birth to a boy named Robert Ballinger the III.  Since he's the third, they're calling him "Bear" (as a nickname), which he can change when he's older if he wants.  She has two girls and will be married 5 years in November.

It's a public post on his FB page: https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100006522014028

I saw it on my feed, despite not being friends with him, because someone shared it in a local group. 

[GeeGolly]

How do y'all think Joy feels about the Jill/Derick and JB/M situation? Is she disappointed in Jill? Or disappointed in JB?

Never mind, its Joy, she might not have even noticed.

they were able to bury Baby Ababelle on their own? In the woods? Seriously?

Not to sound too creepy, but I have 2 neighbors with their wives buried in their backyards. (Should clarify the wives died of natural causes, cancer in both cases, and not, you know, murder.) I'm not sure where they buried the baby--and I'm not going to say it's not weird because I find my neighbors' decision weird, though I will admit both graves are well-maintained and look nice as far as that goes--but if it was outside of city limits, it wouldn't surprise me if there were no rules against it.

That's what I don't get. Who wants to buy a house that come with a dead person in the backyard? Can they get the remains removed? And who pays for it?

Yes!! Wouldn't this make it significantly more difficult to sell the home down the line or get the full value for the sale? What happens if random family members want to come pay their respects at some point and come knocking on the door or just walk onto the property? I mean...the odds of a home staying in the family for generations is not likely for most people.

Here's the thing about home burials, they really don't happen in cities or surburbia.  They are a holdover from our agricultural past.  People lived in the country and buried their dead there.  The city where I live is filled with little cemetaries from back when it was all farm land.  There is one in the mall parking lot.  Sometimes these graves are moved, and sometimes they are enclosed.

The talk of home burials reminds me that we had a favorite cat that died and buried him under a tree.  It was in a city.  Not on "family land".  We had no idea we would move.  And so we had to leave him there.  Sometimes when we went back to visit, we would drive by and remember him.

People, we must remember the lessons of the great classic movie, Poltergeist! 

[JoanArc]

I have several close and extended family and a home burial situation. It’s basically land is never going to leave control of someone in my family, and it was the family members wishes to be buried there. It doesn’t really seem strange to me.

Many people bury their pets in the backyard in cities, especially if the pet dies in the summer. It’s logistically easier to bury a 10lbs pet than a 200lbs human. 
 

If they wanted to bury Anabelle in the backyard that wouldn’t be strange. I’m not what the laws are in AR if the fetus was developed enough to require recording of the still birth. I know a person who planted a rose bush in their backyard at the burial spot in honor of a still birth.

I don’t know if the Duggars or the Forsyths have a family plot.

Yeah- doesn’t seem strange to me either. But I’m more of the mind that even if the land leaves control of the family it’s less hassle and expense to bury someone on the family land (if it exists). 
 

But I’m also someone who doesn’t visit cemeteries- I think they are fascinating historical sites but after the burial I don't feel a need to go back. I have never been back unless it was for another family members burial. 

[GeeGolly]

Annabelle is buried a bit off the beaten path near the spot where Austin proposed to Joy. Although it looked to be a wooded area, Joy and Austin also planted a tree that was given to them.

2. Archery with no armguards.

Arm guards in archery are a matter of choice, not a matter of necessity or safety.  Many shooters don't wind up with a bruise and find an arm guard disruptive and needless.

[Barb23]

I recently found out there is a small family burial plot in the National Veteran's Cemetery where my family members are buried.  It is separated from the other graves & taken care of by the family.  The area was once farm land and I guess the family didn't want their loved ones moved.

I thought the area they chose was very touching.  It was already special to them and now it has more meaning even though very sad.  It was nice they planted the tree as well.

Is the location of the proposal/burial on Austin's family land (I assume in Madison Co.)? I had assumed that was where he was in that pic of him on a tractor from a few weeks ago, and I think that would make more sense for a burial than their home on the outskirts of Fayetteville.

Thank you! 

Madison County is very rural. I wouldn't be surprised at all if some of the neighbors also had home burials, to be honest, and I'd venture to say none of them really bat an eye over it.

Sadly, I doubt it would make a difference.  They'd dismiss it as "fake news".

I like how reddit caught that stupid Carlin caught that she bought her new SUV from the Duggar carlot. TAHT'S why she came around.

My aunt & uncle had to stop digging their pool upon discovery of Native American artifacts. It took a couple of weeks, but they had people out from both tribes that were identified, and they did a blessing or ceremony to release the land. 

Nobody seemed to find it as funny as I did when I sent around a clip from Poltergeist. 

I'll always have a soft spot for Joy. Anyone who comes through what she has is a warrior, and I mean that for all of you here who have, too.

Joy's only 22 and she has a million more pregnancies to go through. She better be strong.

I must’ve missed it, sorry. Hopefully she will be able to contact them if she has trouble with her vehicle!😄  we know all about their well-documented tendency to disappear like a fart in the wind once they have the money. 

[Zella]

Hehe The only account I've ever heard of someone buying a vehicle from a Duggar lot was secondhand--a sister of a friend of mine bought a car there and said it was a lemon, and they basically dodged her attempts to contact them about it. I laughed way harder at that story when he told me than I think I was supposed to. 😆 I asked him which one sold her the car, but he wasn't sure.

 There was a review on the carlot’s Google page.  Someone bought a car from Josiah, and the car immediately started having mechanical problems. He tried to contact Josiah for help and could not get through. Anyone that buys a car from a situation like that, that isn’t desperately port has no other options, only has themselves to blame. It’s so predatory, not that they know the Bible says not to prey on poor people

The sister who got the car is super religious. Like married to a pastor religious. As far as I know, she doesn't know them, but I've wondered if she bought a car from them specifically because they were the Duggars. If so, she learned an expensive lesson. . . .

The bar is so low it’s on the ground, but this pleases me. Will be interesting to see how many people they allow in the hospital room as mom laborers. Usually just the father. What do you want to bet it won’t be filmed?

Wow, a Duggar daughter who actually learns from experience and changes her actions? I'm glad she's not going to try another home birth.
