I know you're being facetious, but my mailman is always and forever delivering the wrong mail to my house. I have no idea why or how he manages it. That was the first time I've ever had UPS screw something up -- I figured it was due to the high volume of the season. Although with my mail, I just stick it back in the box and let the carrier deal with it. I figured it'd be a lot easier just to hand deliver the ups box, though -- thankfully, I didn't have to (it was coooold out there!).

My thoughts exactly. My daughter is a new registered nurse and I am really learning a whole new appreciation for a job I already admired so much. I feel so bad for nurses who have to deal with patients like Lori (and their families.) Good grief; can you imagine having to deal with Ken?  That is assuming he'd stay by his wife's bedside, of course. 

 

No, he wouldn't stay by her bedside; he'd be chasing after the pretty young nurses and trying to force feed them M&Ms. He is such a creep.

Oh, the doctors needed Ken!  Why, if he hadn't rode in on his Horse of TRUTH, how would they have known which medications to prescribe The Godly Mentor?

Quote

 Romance is Ken sitting by my hospital bed in ICU for hours on end and even sleeping in the car a few hours to get some much needed sleep. It's being there to tell the nurses that no, she doesn't need a big vial of antibiotics before they even knew what was wrong with me. No, she doesn't need shots in her stomach to prevent blood clots.

Those doctors would have fucked everything up if Ken hadn't been there to keep a lid on things.

In other news, today's post is just...mind bogglingly stupid.  It would take me a year to write out just how stupid it is, but trust me, it's stupid.

I'm pretty sure today's post is a direct response to our questioning how Lori felt about the college-educated nurses who took care of her. 

I'm pretty sure my daughter's professors did NOT teach them "Just try your best to remember what we've  taught you but...meh...these patients are going to die anyway so; you know...don't sweat it.  What matters is that you girls get youselves married and have some babies!! As for you guys; we need to check with The Transformed Wife on what we should do about you. See us tomorrow about that."

I love this comment from the college notebook doodle:

Quote

 I would ask are they spending as much time in the Bible as they are in a college text book? Probably not. Spiritual growth and maturity is far more valuable than intellectual growth, which only feeds pride and encourages us to be wise in our own eyes.

By all means, avoid intellectual growth.  

[Loveday]

But...but...without intellectual growth how would we know if we were growing spiritually? How would we know if we had matured?

Lori's stupidity is so incredibly deep I feel like I'm floundering and flailing with helpless desperation in an ocean full of it.

Lori:

It's a crazy amount of money and only a few are truly Bible believing. It's too much money to spend on young women who want to be wives and mothers, in my opinion

Oh, really?  Well then why did you send your daughter?

Christ on a cracker, I know quite a few women who move refrigerators, washing machines, heavy furniture, you name it, they move it.  And I am one of them.  That stuff isn't going to grow legs and walk itself to where I want it. 

Lori probably needs Ken to carry her handbag.  The more I read from her, the more I can't stand her.  I hope that she isn't left alone with her poor grandbabies.

@polecat, I absolutely feel you on that score: our regular mail carrier is a lady and anytime she's off or on a different route, there will be misboxed mail for someone on our little street.  

Lori makes so many false assumptions in her daily drivel....I'm going to assume she doesn't watch or read any news.  Sadly, I think even if she did know about Malala and the young women like her she'd just say they are victims of an unGodly society so they don't know any better anyway.  We should pray for them and convert them all so they know the "truth" and get to have lives of Godly baby-making servitude.

Oh my gosh!  *light bulb moment* Maybe the joke's on Ken. Maybe Lori pulls this helpless weaker vessel act to get Ken to DO EVERYTHING. "I just can't Ken; but you are so big and strong - such a command man. Could you change that light bulb?  Also, I'm going shopping later and I need you to carry my purse." 

Lori is the puppet master and Ken is totally her puppet.  Well played, Lori. Well played.

This is my sentiment!  I find her to be incredibly lazy.  I think she felt crappy once and saw him react and she has played on that for the rest of their life. Shrewd.....if nothing else!

Buried in all the comments of Lori's insane FB post on why education for women is so very, very, very bad are 2 really interesting tidbits

1.  "My daughter, a niece, and her husband never went or finished high school and they are all doing great!"

So if I read this correctly (Lori's writing is never clear) -- one of Lori's daughters never attended high school at all and has no HS diploma,    And Lori's niece and the niece's husband never attended HS and neither of them have a HS diploma. I assume that no HS diploma also means that none of them got a GED.

Who in her right mind thinks this is something to brag about?  Lori just admitted that one of her daughters went no farther in school than junior high, possibly no farther than grade school.  What kind of idiot thinks not attending high school is a good idea? 

2.  "If a woman wants to go to college, I recommend going to a cheap community college and get through without any or very little debt but be careful what career they get because many men want their wives to work even after they have children if they are making good money" (bolding mine)

Lori is telling women to get no degree or a worthless degree so they won't be able to make any money working,  And if they aren't making any money then they can stay home, and their husbands have to support them. Because that's what husbands are for.

Lori continually lectures us that women are to submit to their husbands' will/wishes, including working if that's what they want and we should just pray hoping he'll change his mind. And yet here Lori is telling women to sabotage their educations in order to decrease earning power so you can force your husband to let you stay home.

So finally Lori has tipped her hand and revealed exactly what her motive has been all along:   It's never been about obeying God's word to stay home, It's all about Lori being a lazy @ss woman who expected her husband to support her and has used this Titus admonition to justify her laziness.  As she had a college education and a good job, she sabotaged her birth control so she could force Ken let her stay home and then declared it was God's will.

Lori decided that because *she* didn't want to work, no woman wants to work. Therefore no woman *should ever work*.  To make sure they don't she goes around telling women not to get an education and shaming those who do.  All clothed in her Titus ministry as a righteous godly older mentor who knows what's best for all women.  And voila, Exhibit A, her daughter who never even attended high school.

Lori is an evil, manipulative, hypocritical beyotch who doesn't have an ounce of godliness in her and who deserves to have the smug slapped right off her face (figuratively at the very least).   Oh, Hi Lori, yes I said it and I meant it.

inquiring minds want to know how exactly did she prevent her daughter from attending high school, and why did Ken agree to it?

Is that so?

Lori:

Quote

My daughters weren't flirty. They didn't "date" in high school.

Lori (referring to her oldest daughter):

Quote

When she graduated from high school, as she was receiving her diploma, the principal told the crowd that she wanted to be a missionary ballerina. 

Referring to her youngest daughter (I am redacting her name):

Quote

We eventually put (daughter 2) into the local Christian high school 

Lori has 2 daughters.  Both of them graduated high school.  Daughter one left home at 18 to be a ballerina for Jesus.  Daughter 2 went to community college and became a dental hygienist. Lori has been known to lie about that.  According to some of her posts, she would have never allowed her children to go anywhere other than a Christian college, and they were lucky not to have been exposed to the kind of trash the average college kid hears.  According to other posts, Daughter 2 was hearing all manner of evil at her local community college, and Lori was absolutely appalled.  

When shaming her readers for sending their own children to a public high school, Lori claims she'd have never sent her kids to public school. It was Christian school all the way for her children.  That said, I can links posts where she talked about her children going to public school.

Lori has also claimed that Daughter one gave up dancing when she married, but that's obviously false.  Lori's story changes depending on the point she's trying to prove at the time.

Today's post is more rubbish about what a waste a college education is.  She dedicates a good portion of the post to quoting the infamous Dave, who refers to college as a "death mill":

Quote

“I’ve often said that college was a joke, overall, and simply a meal ticket that was a waste of time and money, having said that my business degree from a major university was a 95% waste of time. And that was 40 years ago. After a career in commercial banking I have not changed my mind.

Now I see college not as simply a substantial waste* but as a death mill with: 1) ridiculous costs; the burden on families and government, 2) as an anti-biblical bastion pushing a PC cram-down without freedom of thought, 3) teaching young adults to waste time and become a burden, disengaging them from the real work-a-day world, 4) it delays marriage and the seriousness of family, 5) it is an incubator of immoral sexual behavior, 6) it trains all to get used to women leaving the care for the household. Phrased another [and frank] way: it trains up lazy, self-serving, sexually immoral, thoughtless, non-contributory, a-biblical leaches on life that have just left everyone [parents, students, government] in big debt.

While colleges started with proper motives, it all started to unravel when it originated women’s colleges in the mid 1800s, taking women from the home, selling all that they should be ‘in the gates of the city’ conducting business alongside men. It helped make a mockery of marriage.

There are a handful of disciplines where college is helpful/ necessary [maybe for 20% who attend college] but ’on the job’ education is the way, and much less costly.”

 

[Koala]

The more I think about it (and after seeing the quote myself about her daughter not attending high school), the more disgusted I become by Lori's willingness to lie to her readers.  She manipulates people, and she manipulates reality.  

She is flat out lying to these people to try to make a point.

People have excused her, saying perhaps in her mind it's true, but I don't buy that.

She knows her daughters went to high school.  That's not something she's confused about.

She knows one daughter went to community college.  That's not something she's confused about.

She knows her daughter still makes a living dancing.  That's not something she's confused about.

She's lying to these people.  She didn't live up to any of the standards she holds them to, so she lies.

[Loveday]

"My daughter, a niece, and her husband never went or finished high school and they are all doing great!"

 

Could she possibly have meant, 'My daughter and a niece never went to college, and my niece's husband never finished high school?'  Because I keep staring at this confusing sentence, trying to make sense of it, and I just can't believe Lori would lie quite THAT blatantly and say her daughter didn't even finish high school when we all know from her writing that she DID. I mean, we have tons of proof that Lori lies constantly, but this is a bit much even for her! 

 

ETA: just want to clarify that we know BOTH of her daughters graduated from high school. I want my writing to be a little clearer than Lori's!

I was trying to figure out the post on infidelity and if she was saying that Ken cheated on her or if the story was "borrowed" from another person.

it's been said a million times in about as many different ways, doesn't lying make Jesus cry? How can she even pass the "good person" test?

[Red Hair, Black Dress]

Since we know Lori lies all the time about everything -- is it possible that she lied about her daughters attending high school?

We know -- only because Lori tells us --  that one of the daughters studied dance rather than go to college.  What if we move the timeline back and she studied dance rather than attend high school?

Lori thinks education for women is a huge waste of time, so I think she'd be perfectly fine with a daughter not attending high school. She just might not spread it around because even Lori might realize that admitting her daughter doesn't have a HS diploma makes Lori look like a bad mother.

Someone refresh my memory, but wasn't that dance school in Mississippi or somewhere in the South?  If so this means that the dancing daughter got to Move. Away. From. Home.  I thought LoriKen were all about daughters staying home under the parental headship authority until they married?

Oh  and Dave sweetie -- about that 40-year career in Commercial Banking you're bragging about:  If you never used your business degree from a major university you must never have progressed beyond Teller Trainee.

Commercial Banking involves high finance. You have to know and understand risk management and mitigation, treasury and payments, capital markets, commercial loans, investments, and all the governmental rules and regulations that control these transactions.  Without the educational background you won't get hired, much less have a 40-year career. It's not something you can just pick up

So Dave, really -- and I mean this in the nicest possible way -- STFU

[Koala]

Lori:

Some have told us that those who are pursuing the science classes to become doctors have to watch porn. They are wicked and evil places that we should stop supporting.

Yep, to my understanding, that's how medical school works.  You basically just sit around denouncing Jesus and watching porn.

She wrote the following about her daughter who "traveled the country dancing for Jesus":

That has a ring of truth to me.  She likely graduated from a small Christian school.

The bit about her never going to high school sounds like the lie.  It goes hand in hand with the point Lori was trying to make (education is a giant waste of time).  

I don't think Lori values hard work or education, and it mystifies her that anyone else would find it important.

Yeah...right! Just like my little AAS degree was a waste of time since I'm not working in the field anymore...gee...it got me a damn teaching job...

I swear these people have got it going on with the doublethink...

[Loveday]

From the beginning of today's post:

"Our colleges are dominated by ‘post-moderns’ and other nihilists for whom seeking truth is regarded as a reactionary fraud, not an academic ideal. For these professors, deans and presidents, the primary purpose of the university is to mold students in their images — people alienated from America and from God."

Anyone want to hazard a guess that Lori has absolutely no idea what that first sentence even means? She for damned sure doesn't know what a nihilist is. 

[usmcmom]

Not all universities are the same and if people are too lazy and dumb to search one out that satisfies their values, they really don't deserve an education. 

I will also repeat: if your child exits a university without the values you instilled in them at home, you did not build a strong faith in them. However, it is not always a bad thing for young people to change their thinking and challenge what they've learned all their lives. If it is important to you that they maintain YOUR values, do a better job of instilling them. 

Confident parents are not afraid to send their kids to college or the military or anywhere that takes them from home. We know we instilled in them the proper reasoning skills to do the right thing, learn from their mistakes, and respect our beliefs and values even if theirs change a bit as they grow. 

Lori's new obsession with college shows her clear lack of confidence in how her children turned out. I wonder if one of them is no longer "walking in truth" and she is blaming evil education for that. Something has sparked this new rant.
