"  'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."              --Abraham Lincoln

Excellent advice that I've rarely been able to follow. I lurked on FJ and promised myself I didn't need to be able to post. And here I am: posting, updating my status, commenting on blogs, and now starting my own. What am I thinking? (Sarcastic smile.) 

Here's one I used to write in the front of my notebooks in college, especially for the classes with lots of papers to write:

"Originality does not consist in saying what no one has ever said before, but in saying exactly what you think yourself."     --James Stephen

Thanks! I always liked that one a lot. 

I discovered FJ last May, along with all the rest of the invasion force. My path from lurker to poster was a bit weird, but right now I need to shovel some nutritious food into Thing 1 & Thing 2 before they go beg for candy. Happy Halloween!

      So she did post in her stories today.

      It looks like they are still renovating or rehabbing their house. She mentioned that "my brother-in-law, James Easling" gave them tiles for their bathroom. She did not say ex-BIL. 

      She did refer to the sale at Justinʻs shop as a liquidation sale. I hope it brings in a lot of funds that they spend on actual medical care, not quacks and woo.

      Really worrrisome that Shalom has not posted any updates.  Maybe she's just overwhelmed with their housing situation; I truly, sincerely hope there hasn't been a health crisis. 

      So she did post in her stories today. They are having a sale at Justin’s shop. I assume they need money. But she didn’t word it that way. Justin didn’t look too bad. She did mention a “doctor.” She said it in passing that Justin was at the doctor earlier. Who knows what kind of Dr. They call woo pushers “doctors” so it could be a real MD or just some quack. You never know with them.

      None of her dresses she tried on fit the modesty standards the others had to abide by in the past. I’m not surprised she found it so easily. Once you are 34, I think you know what you want. And Jana went in knowing exactly what she wanted. Jana isn’t the type to make some huge ridiculous party and show out of wedding dress shopping. They did so much stuff for the show that I assumed Jana would never do if they didn’t have a camera shoved in their face and JB dictating things.

      There’s no mention of whatever event led to her having a gown altered the day before her wedding.

      The video shows them adding the pieces to make the top part look more like the inspiration photo. Dress was from David's Bridal, a wedding dress chain for those outside the US.

      I was kind of surprised that Michelle wasn’t there. Not that I wanted to see her but she’s local and that is her daughter. 

      Also pleasantly surprised by the non-mention of modesty, meaning the Duggar’s standards, not mainstream society.  The first one had a tank top bodice with some see-through lace at the waist part so I thought that one may get a comment. I was also a little surpised at the one halter top one.  It was very fitted. But she did look great in every one. Glad she found one she wanted. Good for her for marching to her own best, even if it’s tiny steps.
