Gotta do something while nobody's buying your stuff.

Can anyone even play it? The only instrument I've ever seen a Howler play is a screechy violin.

[galaxygirl76]

Maybe they are hoping someone will pay them to quit playing.

Pretty sure that's Jed and Jer. Jason is a lot shorter than Jed, and this guy looks tall. Jer looks oddly young in this picture, but it's not James.

I don't think that's Jer. Jer is usually the same height as his twin. I think it's Justin. 

Also could someone with social media ask Jana who's in the photo?

It's Jer - he's slouching.

Eyebrows are too dark to be Justin

In my church here in small town Georgia, people often request prayers for "traveling mercies,"  generally meaning that their upcoming trip will be a safe trip. So I think she is thankful that their trips have been safe.

Yes; aka ‘don’t let us get killed while we’re away from home’.

Yikes, what a crew. Hopefully Jedi uses this in his campaign. How manly. Sinner twin seems halfway normal but the others are, shall we say, unfortunate looking and acting. What did they do with those limos? Is this another JB scheme?

WTF is "traveling mercies"? All I can think of is Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and we all know she doesn't wear pants....or have fun friends.

For a hot minute I thought Jana was being thankful for the Anne Lamott book. But then I realized that Anne, while a wonderful writer and hilarious twitter follow, isn't the right kind of Christian for the Duggars.

Does Jana have her own "room" now cordoned off with screens and clothing racks?  Pathetic!

[MonicaM]

Despite having all of those shoes and clothes, she still can't put together a decent outfit.  Oh well, at least she can donate everything back to the thrift store where she bought it.  🤣

Does she really own all those shoes?  That's a lot of shoes even if you are "buying used & saving the difference", which I doubt they are.

[dargosmydaddy]

Wow, is it normal for someone's wardrobe to be that... bland... color-wise? I see a lot of mustard (of course), gray, and beige. Where's the color??? The only thing that pops out is the blue sweater... in the giveaway pile!

Jana should consider running for office in a different district so that she can leave and finally have her own room.

Well as far as we know at least Jana doesn't have to share bunkbeds like the SAH Maxwell daughters(or even her own brothers.)

To whoever asked about the limo video- that clip was from one of the Counting On shows. Not sure if this season or last. IIRC, The boys had a partial cross country ride to bring three limos home from a seller near DC.  The only thing I do remember correctly is that they bought the limos without test drives & of course,  one broke down along the way.

I was thinking the same thing. So bland, just like her online persona. 

The limo shenanigans were earlier this season. Jed! looked like an idiot for not test driving the merch before buying.

[ozziemom]

Sadly I think individual closets were not part of the TTH design. Someone could hide in them or hide things in a closet. IIRC Michelle always said everyone loved the communal closet.

And her keep pile is tiny also.

[Temperance]

The keep pile is at least 3 times the size of the giveaway pile. That's a lot of shoes. The shoes in the right corner (quilted-texture slides) look they came from Target. I just tried on a pair of shoes like this and I didn't buy them, because they didn't feel great on.

Well, Jana is pretty bland herself. I think her upbringing, constantly being told that, as a female, her opinions and wishes were secondary to those of the men in her life and, being forced into a life of servitude raising her siblings from the time she was about 7, has made her feel overlooked and insignificant; which might be why she chooses clothes that blend into the scenery.

I do have a friend, however, whose wardrobe is about 90%  black and white, the remaining 10% is dominated by gray and navy.  Virtually all of it solid, no patterns except for the occasional stripes. She's a wonderful person with a great personality otherwise, she just likes black and white.

One of my sisters also prefers darker, somber, colors.  She just doesn't do light and bright and also seems to have an aversion to pattern.  She's actually working on diversifying her wardrobe and adding more color, but still goes with deep purples and greens, nothing too bright.

Myself, I am a magpie and like bright colors.  My favorite is a pure red.  I also have to force myself to buy some solid colors as I love patterns.

Most of them look really cheap, like Target or Payless specials.  One thing that I've learned is that cheap shoes don't last and often hurt your feet so you end up wearing them less than a well made pair of reasonably priced shoes.

Please remind me to hide my shoes if you ever come to visit,  I've got a lot more shoes than Jana does.  I do, however, have a full time job for which I need to dress and I also pay for them with my own money unlike Jana who probably has to ask Jim Bob for some cash when she wants new shows.

It's all so boring, like her.

Jana doesn't mention giving any of her hand-me-downs to Johanna.  I'm sure there were at least a couple of things that Hannie would appreciate getting.

Jana isn't going to "give" anything to Johanna because none of that stuff "belongs" to Jana at all. It is de-facto "hers" because she's the only J'slave left at home. This is all just as much a show as anything else they do and means nothing at all.

[BigBingerBro]

Jana is so desperate to curate a life for herself that is all hers.  I guess I can understand that, but she'd be better received if she would just build on the story line everyone knows.  Her post should have read - "In the past, I shared a communal closet with the rest of my siblings, but for the past few years, I have been working on building my own wardrobe,  I have now reached the point where I need to reduce and simplify."

To you & the other shoe lovers on this thread - I was not judging shoe ownership by any of us normal folk.  I was judging Jana specifically, since you know, they do things a little differently with their thrifty ways.

It was just fun thinking we were going to shock you. ! lol

[floridamom]

Looks like Jana doesn't even have a closet for her own things. She gets a small clothing rack in the corner of her shared bedroom. What a sad wardrobe she has. I bet dollars to doughnuts that she is also 'maturity delayed' just like many of her siblings. Doing chores in your mother's house does not make one mature. I know from personal experience. LIVING YOUR OWN LIFE brings maturity and the ability to learn how to make decisions. Jana has not had those opportunities.

Bland like Jana. Whether she started out that way or was conditioned over time hard to tell. The Bates girls have a modicum or style so it doesn’t seem strictly forbidden. I think by used etc has gone by the wayside for the most part unless they are filming a segment buying children’s clothes. Joanna Gaines doesn’t tout it. 

PS. I love shoes!  I should go get some old ones ready for donation and take them to an Arkansas thrift shop and see if they ever make the show!

Yeah, it's kind of awful IMO; the kind of color scheme I saw some clever author once characterize as "woods and weeds".  Though, I look particularly hideous in autumn colors like orange and rust; whereas maybe Jana does not.  Branch out into some jewel-toned clothes though, dang.

Maybe one of the Collingsworth family? Seems like Laura is around again. Whatever happened to her career?

I don't know, but I like her top. It's way better than Jana's mustard cardigan.

It's Olivia Collingsworth. (I think she's a ginger). She's a fundie influencer and lead singer of her family band. She's only wears skirts and dresses but unlike the Duggars she manages not to look like a frump.

She also sang at Jabbie's wedding. 

Edit: I though she was around Jana's age but she's only 19. Perfect marrying age for Jedboy.

She looks like she might be taller than him. Those Duggar boys are pretty short.

Jed is one of the taller boys. In the group photo he appears a little taller than her, and that's while he seems to be leaning a bit.

Laura is always there. I doubt she ever left for her big career opportunity as they claimed. It seemed more like a PR move to difuse the Jana & Laura rumors.
