Crafts, Pinterest, Joanna Gaines, Hobby Lobby - you can't turn around in some regions without getting hit on the butt by a stupid sign. Stenciled on the wall, painted on a board, burned into wood, whatever. Flowing cursive, cutesy block lettering, or fancy font. 

And I mean stupid: "Home." "Joy." "Hope." And the really stupid stuff like, you know, labeling the wall with the purpose of the room. I swear, I have seen "kitchen" and "food" signs. 

One of these days, I swear, I'm gonna stencil "Turds" in a pretty flowing cursive in an attractive pastel - on the wall above the toilet. 

I'm partial to subversive cross-stitch.  This store sells a few gems that I would love to hang in my house one day.

ETA: I actually have a stupid sign in the bathroom, but it's not sappy. My confession, with photographic evidence, is over in the Small Talk area.

I admit I'm a Hobby Lobby whore, and I was in there one day when I noticed a really cute antique-y sign that said "Laundry." I told my husband I wanted to get it to hang in our laundry room and he said "Do we really need that? Aren't the washing machines an indication of what goes on in there?." When did our society  become so obsessed with signs?

Jordyn looks nicely dressed and freshly scrubbed. Did Anna adopt her or something?

In the last photo is that one of the J boys holding a girl? Hmm didn’t Michelle say that after Josh, no boys were aloud to hold girls? I know this is Anna’s kid but I’m surprised she doesn’t have the same rule, not that, that stupid rule works.

You mean JimBob Duggar?  He's holding his granddaughter,  Meredith, I think.  I guess the no holding girls rule just pertaineth to the sons.

[Sew Sumi]

There are a couple of pics after Boob's. One of the twins (Jer, I think) is holding a very tired Meredith. Maybe they don't think the rule counts of it's your niece.

Oh, it's hidden behind the second train picture!  Everyone is so wet; hopefully it was a warm rain and not a cold day.

Sisters are implied in The Rule. I doubt Smuggar has anything to do with the Lost Girls.

I fell for click bait! Don't fall for it! 

Some random male person appeared on Anna's Instagram. He looks somewhere between 13-21. 

But then the internet had an article love for Cinderjana at last! Fans are convinced  Jana's Prince Charming is on Anna's Instagram!

Then I clicked it and the guy looks really young, he's at the TTH and Jana is nowhere in sight! 

The Tabloids need to knock it off! Don't fall into the trap, because it encourages them to publish more nonsense. 

[Lunera]

So cute!

I hope her dog makes her happy and I hope the dog is being treated well.

[ginger90]

Cute puppy!

[lookeyloo]

I hope Jana does obedience (not blanket!) training with Willow and builds a heated dog house because we all know that pup is not setting foot into the TTH.

[kaleidoscope]

So, Willow can be Jana's therapy dog!  Just think what we would learn if we could do doggy-speak:)!

They look like the updated version of Hitler's Brownshirts.  What religion needs uniformed boys to protect them in America?

[Sew Sumi]

Six "graduates," and two of them are Duggars. ALERT is really in a decline since Joe was there.

Good.

Not really, since my husband and I actually were on the ALERT campus for a few hours when it was located in the UP.

[ehall1052]

I’m a big Pinterest user. I pin lots of recipes, crafts, hairdos, pretty dresses, shoes, you name it. Not that I have time to make any of them, or money to buy any of them, but I just like to look at pretty things. So I use Pinterest to satisfy my love of “window shopping “ without leaving my house.

So it's obvious that Jana spends a lot of time looking at Pinterest to get ideas for her "farm".  This coming from people who consider TV and Internet super evil.  I wonder if Jbob and Meeshell still monitor Jana's internet browsing habits.

Jason &James Duggar: Mall Cops

So the Duggars have never had an original idea in their entire lives. They just copy whatever trend seems to be hot at the moment. Usually the trend they choose has already been soooo over done and is on it's last legs if it's not already out of style.

[Higgins]

Still.

Why does it matter? Is it harming others? If Janna enjoys it, its a good thing. 

Edited June 10, 2019 by Higgins

[lulu69]

Of course Jana is not hurting anyone but we are certainly entitled to snark if we  so choose. I was explaing why the pinterest  remark was snark worthy. Ymmv

[BigBingerBro]

Jana never does anything original.  Her personality is milquetoast.  Maybe she'll fall in love with a guy who's the opposite of her and she'll become a bit more outgoing.

[Aethera]

Anyone can feel anyway they like about Jana, or any other Duggar. Snark the Duggars, not each other, please.

[Higgins]

We have to snark on the Duggars ?

Absolutely not (you only have to pay taxes and die), if you don’t feel compelled to do so.  Most posters feel compelled and choose to snark.

A lot of the original posters here migrated from TWOP (Television Without Pity) after it went belly-up. I think that was originally a snark site, and even though we tend to be a little kinder and gentler here, there are still a lot of those snark roots. 

I'll snark on the Duggars when they do things which are truly snarkworthy  - and, goodness knows, they give us plenty of ammunition without having to stretch for it - but I don't really like to pick on people just for being a little unusual. We all have our quirks, and I feel as though if, for some reason, I was plonked down in the middle of the Duggar family and all my foibles and housekeeping fails were exposed to the world, a lot of people here would be raking me over the coals. So snark purely for snark's sake tends to rub me the wrong way a bit.

Amen to this.

I have special trouble snarking on a bunch of young people whose parents forced them onto reality tv as children and young teens. None of them asked for this and there's no question that they've been warped by it.

So if they have personalities that we don't think are exciting enough to entertain us on television or they're awkward or not good looking or closeted homosexuals etc. etc. they don't deserve public ridicule for it. 

Frankly, I think selling the private lives of your young children to reality tv is close-to-criminal parental behavior. This is one of those cases where I really do think "there oughta be a law." I'm usually very reluctant to see personal prohibitions made into law, but when it comes to adults doing warping shit to young kids just to get money and fame, I see a big exception.

By putting your kids on reality tv, you're not helping them "develop their talents" -- as you may be in some cases if you're a stage parent to an acting or singing kid, for example.

Instead, for money, you're deliberately exposing people too young to make their own choice to terrible privacy invasion and a constant demand to lie and prevaricate and shape their lives into something that will entertain a bunch of strangers while also protecting their parents' secrets.

In the Duggars' case, you're also unfairly bribing the kids to stay in what was already a psychologically abusive situation by seducing them with a smidgen of the perks, money, and fame you're enjoying. Emphasis on "smidgen." So you're not just ruining their todays. You're crippling all their tomorrows. And these kids were already being crippled by Gothardism. 

I really think reality-tv gawk-at-the-lives-of-these-people shows should ban participation by anybody under age 18.

Yes Jana, I'm sure JB's "parties" are epic.😂

[Temperance]

I think I prefer Jill's father day post and it was mostly emojis. 

[EmeraldGirl]

Quick to ask for forgiveness. Probably not for any real crimes, but because he stepped on an asparagus or something. 

[BitterApple]

Sure, Jana. Boob pushes you out of your comfort zone yet you're not allowed to go to college or trade school or hold a job or leave the freaking State without an accountability partner. These kids have no clue.

[Bayarea4]

"He's my daddy and I'm his little girl."  Ewwww! 🤮

[floridamom]

I would like to know from Jana how Jim Bob specifically pushes her out of her comfort zone? Does he require her to actually leave the TTH and go out in the world to Walmart for a gallon of milk with an accountability partner? I think maybe that terrifies Jana? That woman of 29 needs a lot of help if you ask me.
