i have been following the story on the duggar family ever since i saw it when they were having their 15th child.

we get it on pay tv here.

anyone else as interested as i am?.

I've seen the shows about them on TLC. They built an enormous house and the TV show (tlc? or Discovery?) had it furnished & decorated at no cost to the family. She explained that the girls all wear dresses because they can wear them longer without growing out of them, and less laundry if each of the kids only has 2-3 changes of clothes. I personally cannot see how the kids can have a quality education if the mom/teacher is split into 12 different grades! It would be quite a challenge.

Looking for advice for birthday party

by Paralipomenon in

okay, so after coming to an agreement with my wife about letting our kids do holidays our son is having his birthday coming up this weekend.

i'd like to take him out for a lunch or something with a couple of his friends but i have no clue what to do or where to go.

isn't that sad?

Anyone else feel a bit guilty celebrating holidays openly after not doing so all your life?

My daughter's 7th birthday was also our first family celebration. I was too afraid to even put "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" on the cake - I ordered a cake that just had her name instead. Then we saw my JW dad the day after her party and she is showing him her presents and asks "how come you didn't get me a birthday present?" Panic!

It gets easier - especially as the kids get older and start looking forward to their parties. We had a roller skating party last time - that was a lot of fun!

1) Bad drivers!

2) Phone breathers (those that breath loudly into the phone)

3) Car rattles, car vibrations, or any kid of noise that shouldn't be there!

4) Long lines - especially being the last person in a long line. I'm very impatient.

Name the favorite thing your pet does

i have two cats.

one is a fat female cat.

i have one of those soaker tubs and when i soak in it, she will sit on the back ledge and bury her head in my hair and just purr up a storm.

My cat Katie is so cute - she does this thing where she runs ahead of me, then plops down on her back in front of where I'm walking. I can't walk past her without petting her tummy! Then when she has me down on the ground, she licks my hand, both sides, for as long as I'll let her. It's actually kinda gross, but totally endearing.
