If I understand correctly, smoeone told the Oprah Winfrey show that Josh did something to his sisters but that person wasn’t super specific on the details. So all we really have is the Duggar Family POV on what and when it happened. They didn’t bother to even try denying it, but did they tell the whole truth? Isn’t it…

I saw someone link to a petition with 62,000 petitions to keep 19 Kids and Counting on television. Lots of people on facebook are defending them. You also have politicians coming forward to defend them. Yes, TLC removed their shows from the lineup (for now) but they had no new shows left to air this season anyway.

Last…

Also consider this: Whomever faxed the Oprah show (as referenced in the police report) warning Oprah of the dirty laundry MUST have done the same to TLC at some point over the course of the show. TLC just chose to ignore it.

It’s not gossip. The family publicly put out statements today admitting it but seeming totally chil l about it. https://www.facebook.com/duggarfamilyof…

Those who have been hate-watching the Duggars for a while have wondered what would finally be the thing that would cause TLC to pull the plug. I think we have it.

I don’t think so. Maybe you’re right, but I somehow doubt it. TLC wants to keep their cash cow, and there are way, way, way too many people who ADORE this…

Did anyone else pour over the report like I did and notice how it seems the kids were all coached to give the same answers? Like, “Who do you live with?” was answered by apparently naming the parents, the siblings, the dog (by name) and six cats. Now, some kids might mention the pets as part of “who do you live with”,…

The bouquet toss is traditionally done at the reception, so it’s much too late to interrupt the wedding.

It’s humiliating and yeah, puts the expectation on the woman that the only acceptable response is to laugh it off like the cool girl.

Yes! Why is the expectation on the woman to be the “cool” one to just laugh off the joke? Why couldn’t he let her catch it and laugh it off like the “cool guy”?

It really depends on the situation. It could be funny if it was a running-joke that other people were in on. Like, say I was at my sister’s wedding, and while my SO and I had been together many years and we were both perfectly happy not marrying and everyone knew that, yet I’d always kind of teased him about being the…

I’ve noticed this phenomenon, particularly in regards to my husband’s friends. I started observing this weird game maybe a decade ago when I was in my early 30s and put on some weight. Certain guys (apparently guys who totally objectify women) treat me like I’m totally invisible, only noticing me if my husband…

When I was a child in the 80s, a friend had the most irresponsible, dumb, hippie parents. They had no clue about routine car maintenance. They drove a car until it broke down, then abandoned it and got another. At least once the car went up in a ball of fire because they didn’t know how to check the oil or do oil…

Not to nitpick, but just to explain: At least in America, some shady pizza chains (coughPapaJohnscough) add the “delivery charge” to help offset the fact that they have to pay (sub-minimum wage) wages to the delivery drivers. But the “delivery charge” fee doesn’t go to the delivery driver. He gets paid $5 an hour…

In the DECA commissaries on military bases, the baggers only work for tips. They are not paid employees of the commissary and receive no salary at all. In that case they are expected to be tipped. It started out as a way for teenagers, military spouses or retirees to make a little extra cash and has been the “norm” in…

In other words, you expect bribes to not be a total dick to customers. They’re not giving a tip after receiving exceptional service, you are demanding a tip to give them decent service.

The menu prices SHOULD be 20% higher to cover the cost of a decent wage and tipping should be abolished. It simplifies the process and keeps cheap assholes from stiffing the waitstaff.

I agree that they’ve wrecked the character of Juliette. She’s bringing Avery down, with her. They should have written her out of the show at the end of last season. Her storyline this season was awful and painful to watch. I got so I just fast-forwarded every time she was on screen.

I HOPE HOPE HOPE they get better…

Not exactly the same situation, but many years ago when I was about 22, I worked in an office with a gal about my own age who had a very petite body frame and all the guys were in love with her (she was a big flirt). I was also thin, but I have a different body frame that makes me look “thick” when held up next to a…

I had an interview where the guy had a problem with how far away I lived, too. (About 45 minutes away.) He seemed really impressed with my qualifications and my score on the skills test they required applicants to take. But then kept asking me when I would be moving closer. He stressed they had had a problem in the…

I was 13 and at my sister’s wedding. I wasn’t even interested in boys my own age yet. I was sort of dancing by myself on the side of the dance floor, enjoying the music and wondering when we could go, when some creepy, middle-aged guy decided I needed to dance with him. He just kind of grabbed me and started dancing…

“suburban busybodies with literally nothing else to do” clearly describes it perfectly. I weep for humanity when I peek into those groups.
