What's wrong with looking like Abbie? She's not Helen of Troy, but she also doesn't look like Quasimodo either. She looks pretty everyday and normal to me, so it doesn't seem like it would be a great

I don’t mind snarking on these people at all about their beliefs and odd behaviors but everyone’s weddings are going to be different and evoke criticism about just about all of it. I would bet a nicke

There was every kind of abuse (emotional, physical, sexual, verbal) in our house growing up.  It has affected all of us our entire lives.  Forgiveness will never be in the cards for our monster.  My b

They grew up attending the same homeschool conferences together for about 18 years, but officially met when he flew to Oklahoma for a church event. They started “courting” in June, 2018 and got married in November, 2018.

JD flew his parents to the conference. He just happened to run into Abbie there.

JD&A always look so happy. 

They really do. It almost makes JD look, well, maybe not exactly handsome, but a good, solid average, with some extra points for congeniality. He really seems to have shed that sort of creepy Duggarish vibe that they all grew up with.

I feel like the Duggar boys might be considered "handsome" if they had been allowed to develop their own personalities and interests instead of the cookie cutter Wonder Bread aura they all seem to have had when they were younger, instilled in them by Meech and JB.  Same with the Rod kids - who knows what potential talents have been stifled in all of these kids because they were never allowed to grow as individual humans?

I do agree, JD looks to be the most naturally happy of all of his siblings.

Or at least have people be able to tell the boys' apart. The Duggar sisters were easy to tell apart Jana does everything,  Jill parrots whatever her parents' say, Jessa's a bitch, and Jinger wants live in a city. The boys? Except for Golden Boy and John David who has a plane. Before the plane John David stood out as much as the rest of the boys.

I still can't quite tell most of the boys apart, but that's as much because I was never able to remember which name went with which face as because the faces themselves are so cookie-cutter similar. Somehow, the girls' faces always seemed easier to differentiate.

With the oldest girls especially, they all have distinctive enough faces that, IMO, it has always been far easier to tell them apart than any of the boys or even the younger girls. 

It also helps they were older on the show and got way more air time. The girls courted and had tv weddings. Once in a while they had interests, real or scripted that gave a tiny hint of different personality. Jill likes midwifery or whatever.

The kids younger than Josiah were mostly shown running in a feral pack. No difference one from the next.

Yeah very true. The older girls all had personas, such as they were, or at least somewhat individual vibes.

I agree that they always look happy. He was always dorky, but he just seemed like a complete non-entity. I think they're really happy together and they don't appear to be in the breeding derby which is great for the whole family. I think that moving out, and getting some autonomy and having someone that he could actually talk to really opened up a whole new world for him. It's just night and day.

It helps that Abbie seems to be her own person with a degree and an actual profession. Living with someone like that had to have been good for JD.

I think Abbie and John have made a great couple. It had to have helped that they didn't rush into marriage so young and John was a bit stealth rather than involving his father from the beginning.  John had perfected staying off JB's watch by that point.  Abbie completed an LPN or LVN type nursing program.  I don't know if she also got an associate degree, but having that option to work has been good for them, too..

I think Abbie currently works. She might be the only Duggar woman to hold a 9-5 job.

Medic corp is getting attention from the relief efforts from Helene.  Musk, Ivanka, and now Dr. Phil  interviewing JD.🙄  Though this time it appears they may actually be helping some and working with Samaritans Purse (the Graham charity) .  They were helping get starlink access for communications and taking generators in to isolated areas that have no power.  They are doing a lot with helicopters, did they get more or do they belong to someone else.  Anyhow  they are taking in supplies to places that are no longer accessible by road.  I hope they are actually helping.  When did Musk become a humanitarian?  Now he and Ivanka are pretending to care. JD was the only Duggar I saw (I didn't look at all their posts about the effort so maybe there are other Dugs).  I don't know much about the Bates but saw a couple of them. 

I am glad resources but the whole Ivanka and Musk thing makes my eyes roll.  As I don't recall them ever showing up to help at other disasters.   Hey at least people are being helped so the motivation doesn't matter.

They do seek out attention for there efforts and to get interviews. "Do your good works in private" is lost on them.

Lawson has made what is basically a commercial and says their specialty is evacuation, "we are running about 10 helicopters today". Video shown - military helicopter where lawson or some medic fool is inside for the ride filming the people being evacuated.

Generators shown being delivered also military copter.

They posted a local pastor came to pray for them and the trays of Starbucks and other food and drinks makes me so angry.
