The Duggars are coming...

[Blonde Granny]

We are sitting here at the VA medical center awaiting an appt. for my DH.  We were just told the Duggars are coming for a visit.  This is Veterans Ppreciation day here, so I imagine the camera crew will be with them.

omfg, how quickly can we get out of here?

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

No, no!  Make a sign that says "HI I'm Blond Granny!" and wave it in front of the camera.  Then we can see what you look like.

[Chocolate Lover]

Like they'd be able to see through the mass of Duggars

UGH! Can you tell them to stop talking about how they keep their relationship "sexy" PLEEEEEASSSE?!?!?!? 

[Blonde Granny]

Loony, they will be here with the film crew to show how patriotic they are....they never miss a chance to show up with the camera crew close behind.

so far, some arkansas football and basketball players are here, along with a young lady wearing a tiara.

[Wisconsin Beth]

I'm sorry. 

ETA - at least you can people watch the parade of people.  And/or amuse yourself by asking how often they do this or is it just a publicity thing.

The Duggars came to my work once for part of their show.  The PR department said they were the nicest and easiest people to work with and the camera crew said they were just as pleasant off camera.  I don't watch the show and I find the idea of having so many children very disturbing but I also think they are fundamentally decent people.

[Blonde Granny]

Where I'm sitting I get to see them getting off the elevator, then walking my directin to take the walkway to the hospital section of the buildings.

I believe that they are nice, decent people.....and they're self-supporting so we don't have to ream them a new one for sucking off the Government teat....but honestly, hearing ANY 50-something talk about how they keep things sexy in the boudoir would have me reaching for the brain bleach.

Every time she calls him JimBob I want to scream.... and the thought of them doing the nasty give me the need to shower.

I hadn't watched it until I went on maternity leave (the TV pickings at 6am are pretty slim) and as much as I wanted not to like them, they seem like good people. I say keep on keeping on. At least their kids are well-behaved.

BG, I figured you'd like the Duggars? Not a saggy pant or unwed mother in the bunch.

[NancysSummerSip]

Their visit may have something to do with the fact that both their dads served in the military. Not sure if either was active duty, but both did serve around the WWII/Korean conflict time.

It's not their age - it's the fact that it must be like throwing a hot dog down the Holland Tunnel.

That's for that mental image!

Yabbut....what is it now, 19 kids, or is it 20? The aim of the hot dog is pretty good, considering.

And FWIW, I like the family and the show. I don't subscribe to their beliefs, but they seem to be pretty decent people, and the kids don't run around drinking, drugging, smoking, cussing and hurting other people.

Double post

Well, I believe he has free health care for life as well as a govt pension for some kind of congressional service. Plus, the deductions for being a church and having a litter must be immense. Then add in the tv revenue from people who actually watch shows like theirs and you have money galore. I watched the SYTTD show where she bought a dress for renewal vows. I'm getting she wasn't into the strapless look but her gown looked like a nuns habit. The kind they USED to wear. Why bother? A nice dress would have been so much prettier but its like she has to go out of her way to look like a freak.

[Blonde Granny]

Jim Bob was in the state legislature for a couple of years, likely no pension there. They have had 19, 1 miscarriage and one premiee who died. They are now trying for # 20. They live about 8 miles from us. Have never seen them out however.

What makes me irritated is that they are not raising those kids, the older kids act as parents.  As for deductions for a church, IIRC they do not belong to a church, they have their own and hold services in their house.  They are in the process of selling the property in Springdale where the former Duggar used car lot was/is to CVS for a new pharmacy. I saw the program where she was buying the new wedding dress....at Kleinfelds no less!!!!!

We were able to leave the VA before the dog and pony show arrived!!!!!

[zibazinski]

I heard he got a pension and free health care but I could be wrong.  

[zibazinski]

Yup, same show. If I looked like her and had her figure I wouldn't be rocking the form fitting strapless dress either but I was amazed that kleinfelds had such an ugly dress on hand. Must have found one just for the show.

zib, here is an interesting site and it answers most questions.

Yup, thought so.

Maybe it's more like a big ole polish sausage!!

I'll wait awhile for ~that~ mental image to kick in...

You're welcome ?!!

Ratchets, where ya been?? Good to see ya!

And I'm not sure a Polish sausage, or even a packet of them, would make a difference after that many births.
