Oh now the one housewife got sentenced to jail for fraud. (These are old episodes). Aren’t people aware you aren’t supposed to use the federal government as a bank?!

At least it wasn't during a therapy session, like what happened a year or two ago when Dr. T's wife called and tried to get him to go to an inner room. Or when I was driving like the most recent one.

I’m glad you are at home safe and not out anywhere.

I remember the one with 19 kids from long ago. I never watched but I think there was a lot of controversy.

Thanks, Jersey! Storms seem to have ended.

And I remember some controversy with the kids show, too, but also never watched it.

Yes and no!

We have tornado watch, which means conditions are favorable for one, and a watch can last for hours.

A tornado warning means one has been spotted, take cover.

Now they have a 3rd level, tornado emergency, which is, its happening now near you. As the instructions on airplanes advise you to assume the crash position: bend over, put your head between your knees, and kiss your butt goodbye!

The controversy

Possible trigger:

Firstly it was found out after someone tipped the Oprah show that the oldest son Josh had sexually abused five victims. Including his own sisters and a baby sitter. She cancelled the interview appearance and called the police.

It happened when he was 14. It was a sealed file that was later released.

His two sister victims gave a Meghn Kelly interview defending their brother. Years later they found out about Josh registering on an affair website..

Josh recently went to jail for downloading child 🌽 pictures.

Jill (one of the victims) wrote a book about growing up in the family. Another sister has also spoken up.

Amazon also did a documentary about them called Smiley happy people which spoke of Bill Gothard program and the Quiverfull movement.

My cat must be part of the feline mafia - he left another decapitated bird on the back porch - I heard him at 3am thumping out there and I let him inside - it seems the thumping was an unfortunate goodfellow incident.

Right before our most recent round of tornados (I think they reported 5 or six confirmed ones on Sunday) my area reported that the tornado sirens were not working. They still sent out the texts but usually we get a loud siren warning which means doom is near. The city I live in is so horrible they can't even keep the sirens going.

Funny you mention the feline mafia. I have a dog that is part of the K9 mafia. Recently a groundhog met its demise.

ArtleyWilkins · May 28, 2024 at 02:14 PM

We have had a bad few days. The tornadoes in Texas that killed 7 are just a few miles up the road. Then this morning we woke up to high winds and rain. 80mph gusts. Trees down all over the place. Lots of people without power. We’re fine, but many have a mess to deal with.

My sister's dog is too, after causing a bunny to meet its unfortunate demise.

Penelope joined that club recently via an unfortunate incident with a mouse. Well, unfortunate for the mouse. Penny was happy with herself.

New cat, though she regularly plots world domination, has never actually shed blood. Doesn’t want to stain her nice white paws.

NP_Complete · May 28, 2024 at 06:58 PM

I love dogs but sometimes they remind you they're still wild animals.

I used to live in a rural area with acres of woods behind our house. We had three dogs at the time. Well, two but one just hung out at our place all the time so she became ours by osmosis. I don't think they killed it because it didn't look that fresh, but somebody found a dead fawn in the woods and brought it home. It then became a territorial issue because no one wanted to share their prize. A fight broke out. I wasn't happy because I now had to intervene in a situation involving a not-so-tiny dead baby animal. Then later they're being all cuddly and you forget again how wild they actually are.

Ancient cat who is no more was completely useless - one time my two dogs and and ancient cat all were lying around and staring at my space heater - there was a mouse under there - none of them would touch it. I had to dispatch it myself. Ancient cat had zero hunting skill and inherited cat is like a psycho daniel boone

Some of the people i follow also have such pets and put then on their posts... without warning! Maybe i am getting too close to the time when such creatures may be nibbling on my toes, but they repulse me.

I didnt know i could still move that fast!
