We've seen it with other Duggars/adjacents, I think. Not that it makes it an alternate spelling, per se...but it does actually make sense in that something you do to pass the time could legitimately be a pass time. Why would the second "s" necessarily need to be tossed away when making a single word out of two? I can't think of other words to either prove or disprove the pattern offhand (well, there's one off hand - though I suppose that would end up pronounced ov-hand if one dropped the extra f)...Yeah, English is a weird and wonderful language, and so many rules and accepted spellings really don't make any sense. Oops...way off topic!! I think that Abbie does have more education in some ways, at least. People have very diverse talents and interests, and poor spelling skills are not necessarily indicative of anything other than the person not having a good mind for orthography. 2 Link to comment
madpsych78 October 11, 2019 Share October 11, 2019 Just because Abbie has more education than many of the adult Duggars does not make her education at the level of Derick or Jeremy, both of who actually write fairly decently even though I don't like what either of them post. 10 Link to comment

Pingaponga October 31, 2019 Share October 31, 2019 John David speaks in the article as though it was all in the past - the first trimester. Which means the title of the article should be "suffered from" not "is suffering from". Not that complete accuracy ever kept a publication from a good headline. I had a friend with that. Multiple trips to the ER for IVs. It really sucks. Fortunately, she felt better when she reached her second trimester. And as we've seen Abbie out and about everyone, I'm assuming the same thing happened to her. 4 Link to comment

Popular Post cmr2014 November 1, 2019 Popular Post Share November 1, 2019 1 hour ago, JoanArc said: “Every time I look at JD I grasp my abdomen and vomit. Must be HG!” I think that the only thing wrong with JD is that he got married. He was, and is, JD Duggar. Virtually by definition, he's going to be a creep, and we just kind of forgot that for a while. No one gave him any thought for years -- he was one of the many homely, personality-free Duggars. Once he started courting Abbie, he just lit up like a Christmas tree, We all started hoping that this was going to be a great thing for him -- he has skills and can support a family, Abbie is educated and has held a job. Maybe they would begin to move away from the cult and start making a normal life for themselves . . . The problem is that we think that about all of them. Remember how college educated Derick was going to encourage Jill to get an education, and how they might put off starting a family to be missionaries? Remember how Jessa was "rebelling" and Ben wanted an education and they would probably be moving away and starting their own lives? Or how Jinger started wearing pants and suddenly people were suggesting that she and Jeremy were going fundie-lite? These people are not terribly bright and are mostly personality-free. They've lived incredibly sheltered lives and for the most part are pretty self-satisfied and uninterested in learning or experiencing anything new. The JD who swaggered around the Bahamas with a gun and handcuffs and stole stuff intended for disaster relief is exactly who we would expect a Duggar to be -- we were just temporarily blinded by a smile and a sliver of hope that this time it would be different . . . 42 Link to comment

kokapetl November 4, 2019 Share November 4, 2019 On 10/4/2019 at 10:02 AM, Churchhoney said: I do think they'll probably ultimately back away. But because of Jim Bob's greed and all the things I've mentioned, I'm still 99 percent convinced that starting such a business is exactly what he's been planning. Over the past decade or so tons and tons of fools have started air-ambulance companies -- backed by investors figuring they could make a quick big buck. And surprisingly, many of them have. And continue to. That's exactly the kind of bandwagon somebody like Jim Bob would jump onto, especially because he's enamored of flying vehicles. Now there are too many, and they're raising their prices sky high to compensate for losing some business to competitors, and states are hoping to do something about it.... So Jim Bob's too late to the trough, I think. .... However, because the feds alone regulate stuff that flies in the air, this sector has been very much the wild west for some years now and continues to be, despite growing worries about it, and, especially, worries about the high prices they're charging-- as "investors" and cowboys of JIm Bob's ilk have crowded into it. Jim Bob would be all over those high prices. The states still can't do anything to regulate it. And in an area of sparse population, the money has been there for the taking. And as long as people aren't crashing all over the place and are delivering people to hospitals, not nearly as many lawsuits as you'd expect have materialized. The big issue has been -- and is -- that the field is getting very very crowded, which, contrary to the way economics usually operates, has driven price way UP -- This has definitely been on JB"s mind, as it's been on the mind of a lot of other get-rich-quick guys who've started these companies. No other reason why JD and Nathan would recently have been registering companies with medical and flying words in their names. I don't think they'll ultimately go through with it. It's drawing a lot of negative attention right now, and I think they'll ultimately be scared off (as they should be.). But JIm Bob's not that bright.. He's always on the lookout for a moneymaker -- and this has been sold to a lot of people in recent years as a great one. And we saw with the Bahamas episode, for example, that JD and Nathan Bates, among others, are just as arrogant, dumb and delusional as Jim Bob is. They probably figured they wouldn't go after real emergencies in remote areas but they'd offer it to people as a better alternative to regular ambulances.....There's concern that many of the current outfits deliberately target people who are only mildly injured or sick or who are in a perfectly car-accessible place -- i.e., the airlift isn't necessary -- and then they bill the person's insurance and, ultimately, the person if, as often happens, the insurer won't pay.... People are getting away with this because states DO regulate any actual medical care you get from your ambulance service. But states are NOT permitted (by federal law) to regulate the PRICES..... So if you sell your air-ambulance services to people who dont' need much if any medical care -- just a lift to a hospital -- then you're not likely to run into any regulatory or liability issues, since you provided little or no medical care, and you can fleece insurers and individuals for a lot of cash.....with nobody overseeing that aspect of things.... That's a Jim Bob Duggar dream, I think.....However, now that concerns are being raised, it probably doesn't look as enticing as it did even in 2019. Do these operators get away with having the passenger/patient sit upright squeezed in between two fat guys? And no doors? This looks pathetic: 1 Link to comment
