1 thing I have to wonder about is with Jill’s poor OB history (a couple of LGA babies, 2-3 NIUC stays (was Izzy in the NICU?), A ruptured uterus, 2 miscarriages, one a late miscarriage, c-section deliveries…) I just have to wonder about when the Dillards would say “we have 3 healthy boys”, and maybe “we can call our family complete”. I always got the feeling that Jill reallllllly wanted a daughter, and this baby being a girl, must be very hard. The D’s admit to using BC, so they are deciding when to try to conceive and not “leaving it up to God.” Maybe God is trying to tell them something? They have never had a smooth delivery- I think I might say, “I am done.”

Actually wondering how many C-Sections a woman can have?

Considering how anti-vax the Bontrager and Helferichs are, I wonder when they actually take their newborns to the doctor for the first time? never?

Amish love chiropractors. They use chiropractors like family doctors. I’m sure that’s where the Bontrager love of woo started. I wouldn’t be surprised if she took her kids to a chiropractor instead of a doctor.

Pro tip: if you buy bad meth don't call the fuzz when you find out it's bad.

An Indiana woman is facing a narcotics charge after she called 911 to report purchasing an inferior batch of methamphetamine and say that she wanted to file charges against her drug dealer, police report.

As alleged in a probable cause affidavit, Sarah Harris, 34, twice made "open line" calls to the police emergency number, which prompted an officer to visit her residence "to ensure that everyone was ok."

During a conversation with a police captain, Harris declared that her meth was “not what it was supposed to be.”

She explained that the drug left her feeling as if she was going to have a heart attack. Harris said she had snorted a line of the meth and felt “something different when it touched her skin and nostrils.”

I’ve read some disturbing online commentary about kids who were homeschooled for years, but then for some reason had to go to public school. Some of them got argumentative and confrontational when taught things different from what they were taught at home. Some of these involved math, where correct answers can easily be proven—but God forbid someone tells Homeschooling Mommy she’s wrong.

But, @Alisamer , don’t you know that if doctors adopted these “miracle cures,” everyone would be healed and no one would ever get sick again and the entire medical field would go broke and collapse? /sarcasm
