Counting On: Season 3, Part 3: Shifting Blame and Escape Rooms

On the yard sale, they were doing a fundraiser, so it wasn't the standard yard sale where you mostly want to get rid of stuff. They needed baby boy clothes because they would have been selling the four little girls' old baby clothes, but there's no reason why they would have had old boys' clothes. And it was clearly a made-for-TLC event during a really boring phase of their lives.

That's just a regional quirk. They all say it, including Derick, who went to university. 

I've spent quite a bit of time in Arkansas and have never noticed anyone saying it. It drives me crazy when the Duggars say it. I wonder how it got started.

I've heard it in SC when I lived there, so I think it's just something taught in families, and spread around in the South :)

Can someone do a split screen before and after? I am tech challenged and would like to see the difference side by side instead of trying to flip back and forth.

Thanks

Well I was going to make you a collage, but I found this one on a Bing search.  The one on the right is from their early CA days, but then again, if you add some long hair you got his current look . . . it's pretty obvious when you put it side to side, I hope he feels better.  Chronic illness sucks, and though he needs to learn how to live and be respectful of ALL God's children (not just the ones he thinks he can add to his "I saved another one for Jesus!!11!!1!" jar), I wouldn't wish chronic illness on anyone.

This is IT for her -- raising godly arrows, and she can't be arsed to wash a cup or bowl for him?  There's only one kid right now!  That is as easy as it'll get for her for a long time.   

That's one of the reasons I actually don't mind the show not ending.  I want to see what it's like 3 or so years from now and see Jill trying to feed tomato sauce or whatever to the 4th or 5th kid.   That's probably why they don't show Anna any more.  At least a few years back she could have some excitement venturing into the big city but now the mind numbing boredom of her life has set in.

I really wish someone would teach them how to use personal pronouns.  All this saying I when they should be saying me makes me want to scream at my TV.

Wait, I mean it makes I want to scream at myself's TV.

I hate that as well, and I also find it annoying when it's brushed off as a "Southern" thing. You're butchering English either way. Though nothing is as aggravating as "ain't got none." (to me, anyways.)

My "what the heck?!" Southern phrase that hurts my ears: "Same difference".  I mean I get the point, but just . . . ugh, makes my head hurt.

I'm catching up on the last couple of pages, and as for math, I can come across as downright ditzy.  I'm great with English, writing, history, art, etc.  When it comes to math, I have yet to pass any college level math course (and I tried three times).  It gives me headache, and I feel like I'm going crosseyed.  I do have a pretty decent sense of direction, and at least can manage to find my way, even if I get turned around. 

But hey, thank God we're all different, or else Earth would be a pretty boring place :)

YES!  I am southern and that irritates me as well.  I work at a preschool and a couple of my co-workers insist on saying seen instead of saw.  One really thinks she is saying it correctly and the other one knows she is saying it incorrectly, but that's how "people talk in the south".  Umm, no, it isn't.  It also reflects poorly on our preschool if we have our "graduates" going out into the world talking like that.  :my_sad:

I don't want to be in that guestroom. 

Cobbled stream of consciousness post to follow. 

Oh, HAI Pastor Caldwell. I hear you have a daughter that's been spotted with Joe Duggar A LOT over the past few months. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the name announcement, it was interesting that TLC broke from their own video, dubbed in the name, then went back to the original TLC video. 

Duggars prove yet again that they can't maintain cars with computers. FIrst, Pastor Caldwell, then the failure to reset a sensor. I hope their car breaks down posthaste, just out of spite of the fake Duggar "mechanics."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wedding planner: "How are you?"

Jinger: "Gooooood!"

Jeremy: "Doing very well." 

SOTDRT strikes again. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jinger, your mention of Jeremy's grad school was sketchy. You don't get a finance degree in the one year that he was at Syaracuse. As a fellow grad school dropout, I sniffed that one out immediately. 

Apologies for the stream of consciousness commentary. Like Jinger, I am a chronic eye roller, and eyes were rolled a lot tonight.

so glad you noticed regarding the video because I thought it was strange as well - until I looked at the clothes what each was wearing.

I was trying to figure out if it was the same clothes as last week but I was too lazy to look up the old video.

My only other thought regarding "Rufus" is that he quite possibly has a better name than the child Jinger was going to see born.

So JimBoob had the balls to talk to Jeremy about money even though Jeremy has some education in finance.  I guess it makes sense he grilled Derick over money too and he has an accounting degree.

LOL, I'm surprised at the widespread mistaken use of 'myself'. I've been around a while, and it seems this started fairly recently.

That and the I/me confusion, ugh.

Unrelated to this, but caught on TLC a program about children with 'failure to age'. A doctor who was speaking or being shown (I really wasn't paying attention) was shown as 'Ageing specialist' . I actually went back to be sure that's what it said, and yep, it did. 

Figuring TLC would have caught that, I turned to my husband and asked him how to spell 'aging' and he thought I was setting him up for a joke, or a riddle...... something. I was that sure that the network couldn't have such sloppy editing.

'Ageing' and 'aging' are both correct, actually. But regardless, TLC sucks.

Thank you so much! It IS a drastic change. I agree with all you said. He looks sick.

Dear Ben, 

My eyebrows disappeared into my hair when you mentioned that it would be cool to see Jeremy end up with ONE of Jessa's sisters. Bone caught. Keep throwing them. Please. Free Benjamin.

Ooooh what am I missing here? Who is he for and where has this been discussed? (Jana???)

Who's Pastor Caldwell?????? Jana? Or is Johanna now old enough....

I wonder about Jeremy/Jana. Maybe he saw her, say, scrubbing the John and dealing with a kiddo and wanted to run and ran smack into Jinger?? bwahahahah Cinder-Jana foiled again.

Thank you. I'd never seen that, before.

Apparently, it's with an 'e' in the UK. For all I know the show was made over there.

So-and-so and I's is  a rural thing.

I want to scream over I/me and Good/Well all the time--and not just at the Duggars.

Another one is "I'll buy me some" or "Gonna go get us some"

Then there's "purpose" as a verb. And the Bates and their "Might could"

Don't even get me started on "precious" and "sweet"....

I would have totally mounted my roadkill, but I've never hit anything that big. I mean if I could get away with it, which clearly Jinger did. I found Jana's smirk so very amusing while Joy was talking about finding the perfect one. Also, of course Joe called Pastor Caldwell. Notice more Joe and now all of a sudden, Pastor Caldwell! See not some random!

My aunt hit a moose and they kept it. I never did ask her what she did with the head...

I used to work with someone who said things like "I was going to have went". My head used to explode on a daily basis. "Seen" and "done" for "did" were the least of my irritations.:my_cry:

Hitting a beast like that is a driving fear I have.  When I lived in Alberta, we were driving from Jasper to Hinton and almost hit an elk.  The "elbow" of the animal was above the hood of our truck (Ford F150).  If we had hit it, it would have probably taken the whole cab of the truck out!

Even hitting a deer will destroy a vehicle.

Ack!

It really is the most boring show and the most repetitive. It would be more interesting to see their devotions and church services, their social events and parenting. These fake activities they came up with are sooo implausible. 

Joy-Anna and Jeremiah are interns apparently, so why not film that for the TV show? On the Jessa redecorates Jeremy's place episode,  Joy-Anna said she was at a conference in Wisconsin, why not film that? They stick to the same boring ass template for every episode yet the fans are still tuning in so what do I know?

Yeah, my aunt was very lucky. Honestly, it shook all of us up. It was a young moose and she just clipped it.

This story about a woman who hit a moose, drove to work, and had no memory of it always freaked me out: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/what-moose-woman-can-t-recall-dramatic-collision-1.1215223

Ugh seen vs. saw. I swear people don't get that here either. I seen it or I seen him. No, you saw it!

If I hit a moose and lived to tell the tale, I would definitely want something to remember it by.
