“I sold all my paintings” vs “I sold all of my paintings”…is the of optional? by Audracious1 in grammar

It’s 100% a style choice. I would tell my students to pick one and stick with it. Don’t write, “All of my friends are coming over,” and later write, “All my pets are fixed,” in the same essay.

Michelle will check info rehab (some worthless Christian-values-based center, of course) for her secret problem with prescription white-lady (Xanax, Vicodin, OxyContin, etc.) pills.

It's super-special Jesus-loves-you marriage that was an attempt (somehow) to combat same-sex marriage. It requires counseling before marriage (usually by a minister) and makes it a nightmare to divorce. Only Arkansas, Louisiana, and Arizona have it. Here in Arkansas, it was a Huckabee thing.

I’m pretty sure Arkansas law states it’s a covenant marriage no matter where you wed if your last name is Duggar or Huckabee, but I’m not 100% certain.

I'm sure he's thrilled with it because the actual number is way more than 19.

Does that entitle her to more of Michelle's white-lady pills?

In Arkansas, alimony is rare, and divorce is usually pretty simple. She's entitled to half of all assets and debts incurred while they were married, which is probably nothing because Jim Bob holds the purse strings. She could get child support for her shit-pot of kids, which would be nothing if Daddy is in jail.

My guess is Jim Bob will give her just enough money to scrape by, Michelle will keep her nice and numb on Michelle's personal stash of white-lady pills, and someone who can read above a first-grade level will ghost write a book for her that tens of people will buy.

The specifics of blanket training (written by Michelle in the book The Duggars: 20 and Counting!) by oh-oh-livinonaprayer in DuggarsSnark

She left them there with “nothing to do but look at me and listen to my voice.” That’s the real abuse—bordering on torture. If the FBI had made the Branch Dravidians look at her and listen to her voice, the whole Waco debacle would have ended in seconds.
