:cracking-up: :lol: :clap:

LOVE IT, BUZZARD!

Look at the very last picture of Erin, Kelly and Gil. Kelly has her hair done and is wearing make-up. Erin is the spitting image of her. Erin, take a good look at your Mom cause this is what you're going to look like in 20 years. (Whether it's good or bad, is up to you. ;) )

Yes I saw that too! And a young Kelly looks just like a combo of Erin and Alyssa.

But I've always thought Kelly was very attractive. Especially for a women in her forties who has given birth to and raised eighteen children and is on a limited budget (doubt there's much botox, spa days, or Laura Mercier skincare for her on Gil's income).

Why do they have a screensaver on the televisions above the altar? Everything else is so pretty and then those tvs just look so dumb!

As someone who has studied voice for half her life, I can snobbishly say that I really don't care for their voices. Just very rough around the edges, and pushed - not healthy for the voice. But enough snarking, Erin is a fantastic pianist. Wow

As a professional musician, I can snobbishly say that Erin's piano playing is tasteless. Muzak at its worst. She could do better, but she wouldn't understand the meaning of "cheesy," based on her playing.

[ari_belle]

Really? You have studied voice for half of your life, but she is a "fantastic pianist"?

(signed) A pianist.

Not going into any more detail. This has been discussed a few times before on FJ.

Nvm, I see this has been covered. Thank you for defending our noble profession!!!

You are very welcome. FTR I don't consider myself "professional", but I was a church accompanist for 41 years, as my gift to the churches. :)

Where did you get this pic from???

Based on the package and the shape of the slice, I'd say this is Oscar Meyer ham slices, not bologna. Slightly better than bologna.

i thought they didn't eat pork, or is that just the duggars?

It's a Gothard thing, so the Bates probably follow it, too.

[SoSoNosy]

It is probably "turkey ham".

[formergothardite]

I thought it looked like the Oscar Myer turkey slices.

[Mama Mia]

Me too. I think the ham would be pinker.

Barf.

Now the Paine baby watch begins. I bet Erin and Chad will announce a baby at the start of the new year.

God I hope not. But I wouldn't be too surprised. :|

[singsingsing]

They've only had two months, and women are only fertile for about a week or less each month, so it's definitely possible but not terribly likely.

[freethemall]

Not sure if this needs it's own post (it didn't for Zach and Whitney) but Chad posted honeymoon pictures on his blog: \chadsperspective.blogspot.com

Seems they had to match all that Hawaii blogging!

Generally just lots of pretty nature pics and selfies, and mentions of all the "cuddling, kissing" that went on. Oh, I'm sure there was lots of "cuddling, kissing":

[formergothardite]

I don't really understand kissing pictures. I think the only kissing picture my husband and I have is from our wedding. I don't get "Hey, lets take what should be a private, intimate moment, pose, snap a picture with one hand and show it to the world." mindset that seems to be very popular nowadays.

[Ralar]

I love Erin's hair in this picture! It looks so much better without all the teasing and curling. She looks more modern and even prettier than with the big hair.

[nokidsmom]

I heard that she achieved her very tight curls with foam rollers (they looked it) but you need them in overnight (used to use them) so not surprised that the curls are gone now that she's married. Don't think Chad would be keen on curlers in bed.

[socalrules]

I am so jealous, they can kiss now that they are married. I mean, single women like myself, who live on their own and support themselves are not allow to kiss a gentlemen caller. Oh wait.......

Are we supposed to be impressed? This is called trying to hard to prove it is worth the wait. It's almost like fundy porn for all the little SAHDs.

Not to mention that these people are supposed to be super modest prudes. Raging atheist me who couldn't care less if you're even clothed wouldn't dream of groping in public. Why am I chaster than an ATI girl?

Modesty isn't an issue once you're married, I guess. So feel free to suck face and discuss your sex life/nipples/lady parts.

It does make me wonder why they don't think this kind of behavior doesn't lead to defrauding.
