Do the Maxwells Ever Interact With People Under 50?

In going through the book A Summer With The Moodys, I have noticed a pattern. My rough drafts that I've been posting are mainly of the Doody's neighbors and acquaintances and how they see the Doodys.

But the thing is, all the characters are too similar. Part of that may be that I'm not really that great at writing (yet), but part of it is that most characters the Doodys interact with in this book are described as being, "elderly," "old," "older man," "grandmotherly," etc.

I know that the Maxwells have a Church of the Holy Nursing Home, but do they never interact with people of different ages? Even the lady at the City Hall is old. Does Sarah truly never interact with anyone under the age of 50, besides her family members?

This is truly annoying. I might have to change some things around just for some variety. Which I'm still learning how to write anyway.

I think they interacted with people under the age of 50 back when they had conferences but I don't think they had any this year.

They do but they don't always write about it.  They've appeared on other funde blogs.

Sometimes, they've met the Duggars, and a few other fundie families, wasn't there a picture with one of Zsu's kids?

 

I think they prefer elderly people though, because what if the "kids" actually made a friend with someone their own age, how scandalous, they might start hanging out with them more than family! They might learn something inappropriate, like nursery rhyme lyrics.

I don't know. I don't keep up with the Duggar wedding threads that closely.

Oh yeah, you're right, I think I do remember a while back they met the Andersons at a conference they were holding, and Miriam took a picture with... I think it was Sarah?

I meant on a regular day to day basis, though. But I suppose you're right, when they used to do conferences.... I don't think there were any last year either.

      The worst case of this was at Anne Franks house 2 years ago. Everyone respectfully murmurs - same as in a library. A group of high school aged children were running through the rooms and watching stuff on mobile phones with the volume on. Not one teacher said anything. They were there! 
      A few visitors did have a word with them. Things didn’t improve though. 

      The most tense place I have ever been is a Holocaust Museum where several people were being disrespectful and a brawl broke out right next to me. This was maybe the 3rd HM we have visited. I told my husband that’s enough. No more of those. I know what happened and have seen enough.

      Whatever the results were for the recent scan...if it was showing the cancer shrinking to nothing, they'd be shouting the good news from the rooftops, right? 

      My recent experiences with MRI were that the results were read by the radiologist and posted in the patient portal within a day or two and I assume other scans would be equally speedy. 

      Shalom posted an Instragram story: "Microbiom[e] plays a role in healing from cancer"

      @Columbia, thanks for digging up that account! I remember that depressing saga as if it had happened yesterday. IMO, Bradrick! has many, many miles to go before he's able to redeem himself.

      Today she is in cargo type pants that are form fitting with her shirt tucked in. She doesn’t look obviously pregnant.

      Kelly was supposed to be the shining example of how stay-at-home-daughterhood was the perfect prescription for a young woman to seamlessly move into courtship, marriage and motherhood. She spoke at one of the VF Father-Daughter Retreats, she wrote articles for Vision Forum, the magazine carried a book she wrote about her grandfather in WW2, she had a big section in Return of the Daughters (starts around 26:60.) Their wedding was a huge event, and Doug Phillips made a big deal out of seeing their first kiss at the altar (I believe this indescribably weird photo came from that wedding.) I've always thought this was a good overview of her life within Vision Forum.

      I don't think so. They ran their own little "family ministry" on the side and frequented the conference circuit. One of the daughters also wrote occasionally for Vision Forum.

      Isn’t the infamous Wide Stance photo from this wedding, too? That one still makes me laugh til I can’t breathe!
