Joshley Madison Part 6 - Sin, Confess, Repeat

[VTSleeper]

My thread suggestions:

1) Joshley Madison: Repenting publicly in private

2) Oh Joshley Madison Where Art Thou?

3) Joshley Madison: Jesus died for his porn addiction

[What the fux say]

I googled this and all the images I see say "Lincoln Park After Dark."

Is that what you meant or is London Park a different color?

The Lincoln one seems to be a really dark purple that I'm liking a lot -- and I'm not a polish person at all -- it's probably been 20 years since I've used nail polish for anything more than to stop a metal gate from rusting :lol:

But I'm experiencing some transitions in my life right now and I might just get a pedicure sometime in the next couple of months, as a therapy of sorts. I don't wear open toes shoes even in the summer (Crocs for me) so it's not really for public consumption, just for me to see as I pad around the house...

Yes, that was very much a nail polish brain fart. Lincoln Park After Dark. Doy.

I don't know the name of the color I got with my one and only pedi but it looked purple in the bottle, and black on my toes. I had a sudden urge to go to Sally and get some black lipstick to go with it. Unlike some here, I did have a goth phase. Sometimes I miss it.

I like #2. Maybe, tweak it a little? "Joshley Madison: Duggar Where Art Thou"?

I love nail polish but somehow I always end up peeling it off :cry: I also pick at my nails, which sucks because they're always so short. I want long nails!! :cry:

I can't keep polish from chipping to save my life, unless I go professional and do the no chip gel deal.

Weird nail thing, though? My whole life I've had pretty thin nails which break easily until the last month or so. I just had to cut mine down because for the first time in my life they were hard enough to get really long without any professional anything. I hated to do it, but I couldn't type.

It was such a departure I googled it since I know some health issues can manifest in the nails, but most of what I found pointed to a change to a healthier lifestyle, better diet, etc. Uhhhh...no. :D

So weird when our bodies go off script!

Nice!

This pedicure talk is getting to be almost as annoying as the topic it was meant to replace! :angry-banghead:

Funny, I'm not very fem at all and have never even had a mani or a pedi in my life, but I'm finding the OT conversation weirdly fascinating and informative to lurk. I'm almost convinced I should at least try a mani pedi once before I die, except I'm pretty sure I would immediately screw it up digging in the yard or doing some art or craft thing. It's more fun (for me) to read about than rehashing Josh's sins right now, at any rate. I keep checking back in case he's popped back out of the underbrush but, with no news, my mind just wanders off on disturbing tangents. That name, Joshley Madison, there's just something about it - I've started picturing Josh as an American Girl Doll and writing Joshley's backstory in my head. The squirrels in my brain need some distraction, y'all.

I can't find the post now, but someone somewhere said the post title should be, "Joshley Madison: They Tried to Make Me Go to Rehab..." And if it turns out he has flown the coop and is not just getting his duggar special treatment, I vote for that.

Have you tried the heavy duty foot creams that you find in the... whatever it's called... "feet" section in Walgreens or CVS? It's where they have all the shoe inserts and whatnot. Body lotion just won't work for feet, you've got to invest in some good, heavy duty cream. If you've already tried that route, you have my sympathies. I know that sometimes it truly is impossible to keep under control without regular pedicures.

Way in the back of my brain I'm remembering reading an interview with Shania Twain and her saying she uses some kind of horse moisturizer. Hoof something? I remember this because my mom had cracked feet and I showed her the article and she joked about sending me to the feed store.

Now it's going to bug me - I'll google the name later if anyone cares.

I have a really weird solution. Try paleo or primal eating. All my rough spots smoothed out: elbows, knees, heels. As long as I don't cheat too often, I enjoy amazing health benefits.

I want to try the paleo diet. Any other words of wisdom/results you want to share?

Udder balm! Works wonders. Slather some on at night and slap on some socks. Plus it has lots of other uses (and not just on udders). Love the stuff!

There is a conditioner called "Mane and Tail" -- probably shampoo also -- maybe they make a lotion/cream too?

I think it's the one that comes in the green square shaped thingy, right? And then there's udder cream or whatever it's called, made for cow udders (yes, I am pointing that out, you're welcome) that people seem to love. The thing is, I don't know if those products have ever actually been approved for humans to use. I'm sure they're fine, lots of people use them but it's important for those who have the diabetes or fragile skin or whatever to know this. If I had the diabetes or fragile skin or whatever, I would want to make sure I was using something actually approved for people to use. I'm weird like that, though.

I am a runner and always have terrible callouses on my big toes, I find sanding then with a heavy duty file meant for artificial nails works best. I sand then, then apply the heavy duty for cream.

An Actual Joshley Post!

Over at Raw Story Vyckie has a piece asking if Josh went to RU at all, and suggesting he might e in Paragould at this place:

I can't find too much about it, but there is one in Paragould and I haven't seen anyone post this yet.

Bag Balm. It's a lanolin-based ointment for cow udders and chapped hands and feet.

They sell creams with salicylic acid for removing calluses. Works well.

I think the green, square tin is the Bag Balm. http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywor ... 45uzej5j_e

You can get it at Walgreen's or Target. My grandmother used it to keep my grandfather's skin in good shape when he was completely bed bound for months after having strokes. Worked like a charm. When he went back into the hospital for what turned into the last time, the nurses were amazed. They said he had skin like a baby.

Dear all, one of the newbies here - reading for years, just signed up when scandel no one hit. Before I start my actuall post let me make clear that I agree with most of the statments here - in other words- I consider myselve to be "one of you". But I don´t like to post when I agree. I like to state thoughts that have not been discussed. I am saying this because I felt misunderstood with one of my former Statements.

Afer the introduction, here are my thoughts I would like to share:

Sometimes I start to worry about Josh. No I am not of fan of child molesters, and yes I think he has some real issus and so on (I consider all of this as given) but:

Growing up Duggar, he had a childhood of emotional, spiritual and physical abuse including the most unhealthy way to handel sexuality. I think he is a narcisst and totally torn apart between the way he is supposed to fell and behave and the other piart of him that wants to be free to make his wn decisions. Like a normal Person.

(snip)

I see the possibility the Josh might be the one to break out and leave the cult. I belive that almost nobody leaves the cult without something extreme happening (for example beeing almost beaten to death by your husband). A good way to be able to leave (and hence loos your Family, friends, every social contact and beeing hunted by the idea that you might end up in hell) is to behave in such a way that the cult kicks you out/ does not give you comfort anymore.

I dont´like many post and newspaper articles stating that Josh is sick and needs help. He does need help but the fact hat he commited adultery is actually not such a big deal, it happens in the normal word. The double life is a deal and the rough sex and the sister molestation is a big deal, but I have to admit that I start to pity Josh a bit. The Problems he has are the result of this upbringing, which is not an excuse but he must feel terribly torned and I am courius which side is going to "win".

Anna is never ever going to leave him, but he might leave Anna and start a new life. (I hope but I would not bet on it).

Now I am frustrated that I wanted to share some Points and I don´t feel able to get my points across right so I stop t anyway

Yeah, I've even heard docs recommending Bag Balm so I'm sure it's really fine. I just have a thing about it.

What the ever loving fuck, people. Literally, what the fuck.

If it wouldn't get me fired I'd steal this phrase and use it 1000x a day.

[HereticHick]

On Sept. 24, Pope Francis will have lunch with the homeless at a church 1 block from the Family Research Council in DC where Josh used to work.

Even Josh might have turned out for a glimpse.

It is weird to think that now we don't even know where Josh is. Or how Anna is paying the mortgage and feeding the 4 kids.

[FJismyheadship]

I agree with "They Tried To Make Me Go To Rehab" as the next title. Then everyone will be humming that song for a week :evil:

[singsingsing]

Vienna, with all due respect, every single one of your points has already been discussed in great detail and at great length here, and I think the general consensus is that the suicide topic is very distasteful.

[clueliss]

Okay, I read Lincoln Park After Dark as Linkin Park After Dark and thought - ooooh one of my favorite bands has a nail polish named after them. Dang.

When I've wanted an unwelcome man to go away and stop pestering me, agreeing to have sex with him has never seemed like a way to get him to zip up his pants and go away forevermore, whether or not I've had sex with him before. I've assumed it would send the opposite message.

Well, I'm not a sex worker, nor ever was, but can attest that once in my young, pre-married, life that is exactly what I did. And that is exactly what *he* did. In fact, giving in was so effective he lost the means to accomplish what he'd been begging, crying, whinging for. And he got up, put his pants back on, and went away forevermore.
