I'm just glad there are no apologists for tricking her husband showing up there. Actually, that's disturbingly accepted even in wider American culture.

Lori, in her blog on how America used to teach God in schools, works in the humble brag that her family has not just 1 but 2 cabins in Door County.  Her grandpa bought the land in 1958 (the year she was born) and built Cabin #1 and then some years later bought the small cabin next door and expanded it a lot.  

Well La di Effing Dah, Lori.  Bully for your privileged self.

While lamenting schools ain't like what they used to be in the 1920s - 1950s, she waxes  rhapsodic about her Door County summers in Cabin #1 that had no TV or Internet when she was growing up.

Cheese 'n rice I know she's dumb, but the internet hadn't been invented and there were 3 TV channels.  She then waxes rhapsodic that her children's memories of wonderful summers in Door County are all about Cabin # 2.

Oh and the blog post definitely confirms she in Door County right now. I wonder how long they'll stay this year? After Labor Day?

B ) She’s one of those very lucky people who simply cannot wrap their minds around the very concept of clinical depression.

I'm one of those people.  I try to understand it but just can't.  I know I'm very lucky because I've never had to deal with  the stress and pain of depression of any kind.   I have seen the result of depression all around me in many of the students I teach and always feel helpless about what to say to be encouraging.  I've learned a lot about not judging people's behavior  and struggles.   I have an easier time understanding anxiety because I know I have different kinds of situational anxiety (medical situations, illness).

 I'd like to think I have absolutely nothing else in common with Lori A.  She is so repulsive because she is sure that because she couldn't do something (be a good teacher while being a good parent) no one else could either.  I would assure her if she hadn't blocked me that she is absolutely incorrect most of the time.  

[Melissa1977]

It must be hard for someone like Alyssa, who seems emotional and admits crying and having ups and downs often, to have a mother who denies emotions. Lori confessed she didn't treat well her (little) children when they were sick and, if I recall correctly, she and Ken forced the boys to play sports even if they had body pain. But hey, Lori was allowed to stay whole days in a couch, because HER pain was real. So neat.

I’m pleasantly surprised at the amount of commenters pushing back in her anti-psychology post today. There are, of course, plenty of true believers applauding her nonsense. But probably more people against her. 

[HoneyBunny]

I can’t read her shit today. I just can’t. I wouldn’t be here without the help of psychiatric medications 23 years ago. To see someone discourage others from seeking that kind of help when their life depends on it is appalling. 

[louisa05]

Today we have two lovely items...

A piece about Lori's young dating life and how she only wanted "romance" and not sex thus all women only want "romance" (which she defines as "flowers, snuggles, hand-holding and kissing") and not sex. Men on the other hand only want sex. So, like Lori's general idea of relationships, it's all transactional and women have sex to get the other stuff and men put up with the other stuff just to have sex. Because no couple genuinely wants to be around each other, is genuinely attracted to each other or anything like that. Because she's a sociopath with no understanding of real emotions. 

Then we have "women must be fit" and poor Lori gets attacked for saying that. 

My first problem with this is that I suspect that Lori is not fit at all and never has been. She's thin. But that's from disordered eating. She has never referenced working out or living an active lifestyle. So I suspect her definition of "fit" is "thin". As someone who was naturally very thin until perimenopause hit and made me more average, I hate the whole "thin doesn't mean fit" trope because I find it is generally used to attack thinner women with an assumption that thin women all have disordered eating patterns. That is absolutely not true. But in Lori's case, it is quite evident that thin does not equal fit because we have ample proof of disordered eating and no proof of any significant activity. She doesn't even reference going on walks anymore. Beyond that, attacking people's perceived fitness levels is so gross. There are so many variants that can impact both weight and fitness. I've always been fit, but the last year and a half changed that due to multiple muscle injuries from a car accident. A teacher I sub for frequently had that same issue after three broken bones in a car accident led to a long break from normal activity resulting in a loss of fitness and some weight gain. And, of course, pregnancy can change that. Any illness or injury. And people have different body types and so on...

But her audience eats this up, too. And we have Skyla adding to the fun with a comment that screams "I'm beginning my eating disorder!": 

Quote

"Amen! I've actually lost 5 pounds since I started my diet and it's only been a few days haha slightly fasting. I'm 20 pounds lighter since I gave birth 5 weeks ago. I feel amazing being able to control what I'm eating. It's a big accomplishment in my opinion". 

In the interests of encouraging eating disorders, seven people have liked or loved that post which directly refers to one of the key factors in eating disorders: the sense of controlling something. 

[Caroline]

Creepy Lori and I are the same age.  When she describes herself as a teenager  in the 70's I always think about the girls I knew who were exactly like her and how I couldn't stand them.  I have no doubt from her descriptions of herself that she was as shallow then as she is now.  No wonder she and Ken had a miserable marriage for so many years.  All of those girls like her that I knew either eventually grew up and became normal and kind women or they continued on to become spoiled housewives and many of them divorced.  She is repulsive in so many ways. Nothing is sadder to me than when a person goes through life never growing, never learning.  It's a good thing she changed her blog's name, although I don't believe she's been transformed in any sense.

All those boyfriends, a cheerleader and yet she said she had no friends. LazyLori is a lying liar who lies, one way or the other, to fit her dialogue du jour.

I don’t think she was a "girl’s girl", women no matter what stage in life have been competition to Lori.  I really think most of her modesty posts stem from insecurity about Ken and I don’t believe he hides his wandering eyes in order to encourage her.  My husband does double takes and I don’t blame him or the good looking women either.

Amen!

In my school (the 1970's) the cheerleaders were super popular.  I doubt Lori's school was any different.

And she was on the Homecoming Queen's court.  Again, only popular kids would get voted for that.

I think @Fallgirl30 's comment of Lori not being a girl's girl was spot on.  And nothing has changed.

[Red Hair, Black Dress]

I maintain, based on nothing but intuition and knowing girls like Lori when I was a teenager, that while Lori didn't have PIV sex, she did everything else. I suspect that she, using a rude phrase from a high school friend, could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.

I knew so many good, pure "Christian" girls who loved Jesus and always declared they were saving their virginity for the wedding night who did everything except PIV.

Oh yes, cheerleaders were super popular in my high school too. Dated a lot.

Lori dated the varsity quarterback for a year and a half, was a cheerleader, was on the Homecoming Court. Yet she wan't popular and didn't have any friends.

Sure Jan.

This from the blog convicted me she was then, is now, and always will be a vile, nasty, mean, callous, vicious, spiteful, cruel, heartless beyotch -- "On February 14, 1975, I woke up and didn’t like him anymore, and it was on Valentine’s Day! I broke his heart. "

Lori loves her seductive stereotypes. How about this, truer, one.

Bingo.   She never had close girl friends.  it sounds like she welcomed male attraction but all the other girls were just "mean to poor Lori"

She actually admits this in her first book. She had a section that says that she and her sisters were "technical virgins."

I just now saw that I meant to type reductive, not seductive...

[Sarah92]

Yes talking with many young Christian women the “technical virgin” is a pretty common thing. But at the same time many want to judge couples for living together before marriage as if that’s somehow worse. Of course, I don’t think any of it is really bad but having gone to Christian higher education you learn why Christian 18 year olds are getting married right out of high school. 

[Celtic Roots]

Just a quick response to Lori's comments on psychiatrists and psychologists and any counseling other than reading Scripture...I wonder if this is in response to an issue Alyssa is having with the failed adoption. Alyssa was flying rather high with thoughts about the baby. I imagine she took a harder fall than she is revealing on social media. 

And as far as Lori's high school years, who knows what is true? She has so many versions she has chosen to share with us over the years. Bottom line, who cares? Only problem is that she tries to counsel others with her crazy ideas.

 

[HoneyBunny]

Today’s WTF…girls addicted to porn is so not in the Bible. Instead of the Bible possibly being wrong, it’s all ‘cause of the feminists. 
 

[feministxtian]

Her "red flag" post just kills me..."anger and bitterness"...that bitch is the queen of both. Girlfriend, go see a shrink and find some meds that work. You don't know shit from shinola about anything and I think its more you're willfully ignorant (and maybe stupid). Get your ass off the internet and go get professional help. Oh and Ken, quit lying about your marriage...get rid of her for your own happiness. 

[Sarah92]

Lori does know that the Bible doesn’t always address both genders but the message can still apply to both right? Like the whole don’t covet  your neighbor’s wife. It only states wife but I’m going to assume that a woman shouldn’t covet a neighbor’s husband either. Although idk maybe she covets  the wife lol. But if we go by the literal reading of the English translation we would assume that women can lust after anyone they want. 
 

I have no idea where people get that lust is/ should be only a man’s issue. Like who started that?

Bible was written in extreme patriarchal times. No way it applies the same for men and women. Wives were a property, husbands weren't. I wouldn't be susprised if punishment was far harder for women committing adultery (or just having sex as single) than men. Women have always been expected to behave better and, on the same time, have been punished harder and less trusted, especially regarding sex. Bible texts can be read with hope and interpreted with a 2021 view, but I think the historic view must be kept on mind and back in the day gemder equality was just inexistent.

I think, to me, the Bible (and Jesus) knows quite a bit about men's power and their not-uncommon propensity towards predatory sexuality against women -- which is kind of a mostly-men's issue, and not frequently a women's issue.

I feel like there is a reason these issues are addressed to men in the Bible, even though they can be applied to both.

(While it's not always/only that way) Men in modern culture are more likely to covet women (view them as objects and desire to posses them) and to engage in lust (being willing to act on their desire for unlawful sex if they could get away with it). These are stages of predatory sexuality, not regular sexual feelings. They are why we have rape culture and horrendous rates of sexual assault.

(Both men and women are welcome to have ordinary sexual feelings, like arousal and admiration, regardless of the commands against lust and coveting.)

Also noted that Lori thinks women can't have wet dreams. 

Sorry she is missing out funsie sex dreams / purely psychological orgasms!
