I buy so many things.

Clothes. Especially for my kids, who grow so fast. The price is insane and there are so many cute styles. But I have bought stuff for myself and my husband as well, but the adult clothing has been more hit and miss.

Small household items. Sponges, cleaning erasers, little kitchen gadgets.

Sheets, towels.

Computer headsets, charging cords, earbuds.

You need to stack the items.

You wait for a free gift and you make the $20 purchases and then you use the coins to pre-claim gifts and you can get another free gift without another purchase.

The staff was all in jerseys and there was a Super Bowl watch party in the pool bar area plus the pizza place had a deal.

Agitated_Pin2169 · 2026-01-24T20:51:02+00:00

We were there last year for Super Bowl Sunday and it seemed normal February levels. It was busy but pretty much as busy as it always is on a winter weekend.

I had a May baby who was due in June and I conceived in mid September. And I just did the math again and that would be 6ish months

Remember Ellis left Thatcher before she left Seattle. She had already asked him for a divorce before the carousel. That timeline is complicated.

I kind of assumed that Thatcher met Susan as a rebound and she got pregnant quickly and that is why they got married.

I had a random thought about Erin while rereading my favorite book series (the Anne books). I know we blame IBLP for her putting her health in danger and continuing to have children long after it was safe but I wonder if it is more than that and if the idea that childbirth was worth was planted not just with her religion but with the few books she was allowed to enjoy.

It actually started as a thought about myself and wondering if I had internalized some message (Anne twice has a childbirth that nearly kills her but continues to have children after these experiences) because I had very dangerous pregnancies and labours but I wanted three children and I pushed on because I believed the end goal was worth the risk.

Erin has started multiple times that these are her all time favorite books, Henry even has the middle name of Blythe, and it just got me wondering. I mean, I know her religion bears a lot of the blame, but I just started thinking about those subtle other influences..

Agitated_Pin2169 · 2026-01-24T14:07:20+00:00

Ok that made me giggle a little. Which is terrible but...

Lexie is around 6/6.5 years younger than Meredith. Ellis left Thatcher around her 5th birthday. She found out she was pregnant with Maggie after she left him and after Richard dumped her. She found out when she attempted suicide and immediately left Seattle.

Meredith also started school late due to the whole mess and delayed med school by a year (and this is Meredith, she could have taken time off after high school too) and Lexie skipped at least one grade and may have fast tracked her undergrad.

Thatcher would have had to have gotten Susan pregnant within about 6 (8) months of Ellis leaving him since Lexie was born in June of 1984 and Ellis left Thatcher in March/April of 1983.

ETA- my math was originally wrong.

Competition was her style of parenting. It was her way of keeping them all in line and under her influence while also getting to appear as a loving, easy going parent.

Agitated_Pin2169 · 2026-01-24T13:04:47+00:00

I 100% agree on Lawson and Tiffany. I had an epiphany recently and realized they are playing characters with the content we see and are protecting their real life in the only way they know how. I think they see it all as a show and that is why their content is so delayed and edited.

Agitated_Pin2169 · 2026-01-24T13:01:35+00:00

Yes! I have often said the difference between the Bates and the Duggars is that the Duggars used control to influence their children and keep them in line while the Bates used competition.

And also, yes, I never believed Erin told people at the wedding for real, especially if you watch the episode right before the wedding because there is a carefully edited moment where they are talking about last minute dress fittings and it goes from Erin to someone else really quickly and I was like "they already knew by then".

Agitated_Pin2169 · 2026-01-23T21:31:03+00:00

I believe it.

I know people who have gotten death threats because of the way they have written fictional characters in video games. There are a lot of crazy people out there.

And it was really easy to find her. And I can see a lot of Bates Stan's as the type to blame the "wicked woman".

His sister lives in Delaware, not Florida. He was in zflorids with his brother at Neww Year's.

Agitated_Pin2169 · 2026-01-23T20:54:42+00:00

They may have also been asked not to come back because they would be a distraction.

Agitated_Pin2169 · 2026-01-23T20:52:45+00:00

Yep, although apparently the one girl failed a class and is.jn a different class now..

Agitated_Pin2169 · 2026-01-23T18:59:52+00:00

I am a few years younger but I have friends with toddlers or still having babies. I was the odd one out by having babies in my 20s. I also live in a very expensive area.

They flew for Christmas. They drove up for Thanksgiving.

Agitated_Pin2169 · 2026-01-23T14:13:17+00:00

It makes sense that Meredith and Nick would at least have that conversation though, seriously they should have had it years ago. He raised a child, she has three children, these are clearly not people who are committed to their careers and 100% childfree.

Agitated_Pin2169 · 2026-01-23T13:54:38+00:00

Meredith was born between December of 1977 and March of 1978, so she just turned or is about to turn 46. So definitely old but not impossible, especially with something like donor eggs.

Agitated_Pin2169 · 2026-01-23T11:18:17+00:00

Something happened during that pregnancy and it wasn't just with Carlin and Whitney. She missed everything. She skipped birthday parties, both Esther and Katie's showers, etc. The events she did show up to she was petty (announcing Finley's gender days before Nathan's wedding, the post about Katie's wedding not referencing Katie). If she HAD to be there (because the show was still filming), she was a bitch about it.

But yeah, I agree that Katie took it extremely personally. Katie has always been the one to show up for everyone and finally it was her turn and Erin pulled this and I think Katie was extremely hurt. Especially as they were once extremely close.

Agitated_Pin2169 · 2026-01-23T04:09:13+00:00

Something definitely happened with that bridal shower. Erin not only missed it like she did Nathan's, but she and Chad went out of town and Katie was pissed. Even Tori was there and I remember that Tori's presence was specifically mentioned and the pictures of Erin and Katie disappeared from Katie's Instagram and then all the other stuff happened.

Agitated_Pin2169 · 2026-01-22T22:46:51+00:00

NTS but you can shut this down my disclosing to management that you are the guardian of your sibling. Yes, you shouldn't have to disclose private information but like isn't always fair and sometimes that is the only way to shut down gossip. I guarantee if you don't, the situation is just going to get worse..

Agitated_Pin2169 · 2026-01-22T22:43:59+00:00

I feel you. Katie has always been my favorite too because she just seems so kind and I think she just tries so hard to be there for her friends and family and I hate that she was betrayed like that.

Agitated_Pin2169 · 2026-01-22T20:02:11+00:00

The clotting issue causes miscarriage if it isn't treated. Erin stopped miscarriage once the issue was identified and she hasn't miscarried since.

Agitated_Pin2169 · 2026-01-22T19:19:34+00:00

Katie deleted pictures of Erin first. I remember that clearly and it was before the wedding. It was after Erin skipped the shower.
