Tweet Tweet Twidley Diddley Deet! Sep 11 -15 2013

We will continually add to this page, check back!! See a tweet that is hot, email me! Thanks to ALL that have sent tweets or other goodies, I appreciate each and every one of them.

Remember this tweet?


Then came a flurry.






Why, you ask, am I curious about this? Well, they probably are going to be there. I don't see them on the roster...yet....I bet soon...Click link to see celebrity  listings.

(Thanks C!)

(Thanks to Funky Town - our resident Twitter Clipper)

Meri decided against Robyn as a surrogate over a year ago? Hmmmm
Meri is running?
Don't be polygamist then Mykelti, please! I like this tweet a lot :-)
Who needs to forgive you Meri?

Another Plug...Anyone in LV care to report?


Yes they are Janelle! 






And the Gina Wilson Love Fest grows....Had this blind item rumour this summer that a woman had quit her job for awhile to "live" with the Browns. Never heard anything else. Let's hope Gina is just plugging her jewlery, and hoping for spot #5!












But whose back does Kody have? BTW, Kody please change that Twitter
pic!

Did we grab this this one? Don't think so...
 


 Joe, somehow we think you are a tad jealous...



Here someone asks Kody what happened to being the best man you can be?
Blaming editing maybe?
Toaster to set Kody's bag on fire?
Why would Robyn be waiting if the decision not to rent-a-womb was taken off the table a year ago?

When I saw this, I thought Mariah would like it. Maybe some of you will too!


Mykelti is just a super sweetheart!


Do you think Kody thinks this is not modest? Only her legs are showing. Dang that Hunter is cute!
I agree babe. the dorm was not a happy place for me.


Awww...  





Have fun kids! Football season is the best!





Kody Watched


Here you go, with times all LV folks!

Just what we need, Kody imitating this dad!
No words.......
I wonder if any of the Browns took part this year? I hope so.
Dateline show tweet:
Great reminder, SW is an hour earlier this week to make way for the Williams family in My 5 Wives.
Seems like she found a good roommate! Glad for Aspyn!

Silverton advertising Brown's presence:
Another by Silverton regarding the Browns:
And more.......
Awwww
SLC Tribune article on My 5 Wives:
Good choice Aspyn, good luck making your dream come true!
Aspyn enjoying dorm life and thinking of joining a sorority? Panhellenic preview is to give an idea of life in a sorority per Bing, Google, etc.

I'm not shocked.

      Exactly!! When I showed my hubby that tweet, he just shook his head, calling Kody a stupid ass!
      I just keep wondering Isn't that supposed to be My SISTER WIFE's Closet that should be designed, inspired, & ran by the sister wives? & not that pathetic lame ass man child they call "husband". I'm sorry but Meri is the only one who can officially & legally claim him as her husband. Nope I'm not a big Meri fan either, although I used to be in the beginning. But now she just irks me as do the rest of the Brown Klown adults!!

      Real tapioca is gluten free. Mock tapioca is cream of wheat--a load of gluten. Of course, theres always cream of rice. They could call it mock cream of wheat. . .

      I think that mock tapioca sounds -delish-. Buttery sweet hot porridge? YUM!
      I do gluten free, but I still make all the treats the husband and kiddies love for them; I mostly find alternatives for myself; there are now some good ones out there. I've been gluten free since about 2000. The condition has now become quite common. Sometimes I still dream about buttery croissants or petit pain chocolate or baklava or French bread. Some of the newest alternative are pretty good, but nothing REALLY compares to that spongy-gluten-protein texture. mmmmmmmmm.

      Not sure how Christine can keep up the "child friendly" processed "food stuff" that she cooks and still be gluten free. Unless she does two separate meals.

      That could also be a reason that she always looks so miserable.

      Guess she has to learn how to make real tapioca.

    Okay sometimes, when reading this blog or watching their show, I think about the “Stand By Your Man” song….and then all of a sudden, for Christine and Janelle, “He Thinks He’ll Keep Her” (Mary Chapin Carpenter) pops in my head.
    I made some funny graphics for Pinterest if anyone is interested about Sister Wives. (:

      Yes, I've noticed it. I think that's just so much a part of her new identity and she's just reinforcing that for herself; she and Kody being together as a couple is so much newer of an experience for her--and she seems to desperately want that feeling of security that comes from a stable relationship--which she is still working on creating.
      It comes across as a bit pathetic to the observer.

      Also, someone recently posted on this blog all the various times the women are to abstain from "relations." Included in menopause, pregnancy, etc it said during lactation. And Robyn herself tweeted recently about still nursing sol. Maybe she's a whole lot smarter than we think, and is managing to keep kody out of her bed.

      I think that even though Robin is the NEW wife and we all know the excitement at the beginning of a relationship, that the fourth wife position is not necessarily the strongest.
      Remember Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck Club"? One of the young women's mother's mother had grown up in China as the first wife of a husband who had died young. When she was at temple to honor him, a rich guy basically took advantage of her and she "had" to become his fourth wife, to her shame and embarrassment. She told her young daughter of her true father; emphasized how she had been a first wife and not a mere concubine-in Chinese forth or four sounds like 'die'; so as she's getting emotionally unglued and says fourth wife, it sounds like "die" wife to the daughter.
      The Joy Luck Club recently came out on Blu-ray.

      I think Meri should have had the dog. Then she could always remember her dog Drake. I can see where she absolutely warrants having the crown in her mind because she is Queen of the family. Yet, Christine maybe should have had it because of the plyg royalty connection. Ah, maybe that is what Kody was talking about when he said there could be some jealousy issues with his designs.

      He is always blowing his own horn. Does he ever do anything with other men or is he comfortable in his Peter Pan world?

    "Toaster to set Kody's bag on fire? "

    You know, when I heard them talking about Kody's Bag, I had no idea what it would be.

    New fixation?
    Sleeping bag?
    Man Purse?
    New nickname for Meri?

    Then the whole scene of Robyn opening the fire pit box and fixing to put it together was just like the crib assembly episode. Is Robyn the family putter-together-er? And who starts a fire in the desert anyway? I was waiting for the house to go up in flames. That would have been just the ticket for family drama.

    As it was, the whole concept was just so much missed opportunity and boring.....

JUST for the burning of kody's bag ceremony? PLEASE!!! They didn't think of that. That was all the producers and I found it quite stupid. I wonder how much fluff is going to be a part of the new "My five wives" show after the first season? First seasons are always good. And than they always add the boring and put together fluff!

    10 Questions I’d love honest answers to (but we will probably never get from them)

    1. Do you "get off" on fans fawning over you, getting your hair/make-up done for the show, making special appearances, getting freebie products, doing professional photo shoots, being recognized on the street? If so, how does that tie in with modesty and humility in your religion?

    2. Specifically why do you think you are any better than other FLDS/AUB families and want to be the poster family for polygamy?

      I am answering this as Kody would...(assuming Janelle, the mouthpiece, would be there to guide his responses).

      1. Part of doing my job is to be 'made up' and make apperances. I make these sacrifices so that my family can live without fear of prosecution or persecution. We value diversity in our family. We are not like Warren Jeffs - our wives are not restriced in what they can wear, they generally choose to be modest.

      2. We do not believe we are the best family, however, we are the family who made the sacrifice to be public in order to protect our family unit. We are excited about the other families that are showcased on other shows, we value the diversity we all bring to the table.

      3. Absolutely not. We want our children to make their own choices. We encourage diversity within our family.

      4. There are no plans right now for an additional wife. However, if led to take another wife, it would be a group decision. We would decide as a group if we wanted to add another wife.

      5. I will not answer that question, it is vulgar.

      6. We have several streams of income in our family. We all have jobs and are successful entreprenuers. We all work very hard, we each contribute. Our actual expenses vary from month to month, as do our incomes. We are self sufficient and while we do have finite resources, we are all working very hard.

      7. Since we are a public family, that limits our ability to have a conventional desk-type job. However, we have several streams of income and we all work very hard.

      8. Some see the fact that I don't control my wives and value diversity as a deficit. My wives see it as a positive.

      9. I would love to have more children and can have as many more children as I want to have. I can't give you an exact number but we believe in large families as a tenet of our faith.

      10. No regrets. We had to be the public face of plural marriage in order to save our family unit and avoid persecution and prosecution. Our kids are happy and well adjusted and love the diversity in Las Vegas.

      Bonus: any wife is free to leave at any time if she chooses. There is no 'forced' marriage, if a wife is unhappy she can leave. I am secretly hoping Christine will take off after the years of hints I have thrown her way, but she is free to stay or go as she wants.

      boston corgi - in their book, it is very clear that Kody chose Janelle without even really consulting Meri. Christine 'chose' Kody and he agreed to marry her despite her apparently revolting consumption of nachos. And Meri chose Robyn and I think Christine was totally caught off guard by that one. So...yeah the whole "we choose as a family" is a big load of garbage. It just sounds politically correct, or polygamously correct.

      You know, my memory of the how-Janelle-came-into-the-family story, from the book, was that JANELLE chose. Janelle was ready to go plural, saw what she liked in Kody and went after him. The story about acquiring Christine also indicates that Christine was already quite flirtatious and obvious about her attraction to Kody, and since the person they HAD been courting fell through (DODGED A BULLET THERE, MYSTERY GIRL), Kody and Meri followed through on what they knew to be Christine's interest.

      What I'm trying to say here is that the family keeps perpetrating this "Meri is in mergers and acquisitions" bullshirt, even though they tell a different story in their own words, in the book. So yeah, shenanigans. The only one it SEEMS to be true about is Robyn, but if that stealth minx didn't purposely position herself and ingratiate herself to Queen Bee in order to get her man, I'll eat my big furry hat.

      There have been many many interviews, reports about this.
      Meri and Janelle WERE the best of friends, in fact, invited Janelle over to their home when she was at Kody's dad's farm. Janelle would not be talking to Kody if she had not stayed in contact with Meri after her divorce from Adam.
      THEN trouble brewed when Kody married her. I think Meri had plans for Kody to marry someone else VERY close to her but won't speculate. Her getting pregnant didn't help, nor did Meri seem to want to give up space, time, or the home with Janelle.(Imagine that!)
      She (Janelle) hadn't thought about plural before, then met Kody and thought, hey, this might be OK.
      So on it went....

      I doubt Meri would ever leave. She'll just check out emotionally as Janelle has already done. I don't think Meri would let Robyn get the satisfaction of her driving her out. Of course, once wife number 5 and beyond arrives on the scene just about anything could happen.

      My hope is Janelle is positioning herself to exit when the time is just right and to her own personal advantage - financially and otherwise.

      Poor Christine is locked in for the forseeable future with the little ones. I don't see her getting out unless Janelle goes first and helps her out - and then not for awhile.

      As for Robyn - she seems pretty smitten with the Kodster. I predict she'll be in a major catfight with wife number 5 once that marriage happens (which you just know it will knowing Kodouche)- especially if the next one has a body that rocks, a job, and/or money.

      Perhaps a preliminary first step to Janelle getting out would be for her to take her Mom and relocate together with the kids. Just a thought. Mom could watch kids and help out while Janelle pursues RE.

      No wife is leaving, no way; you can bet the farm on that. Robin has found her 'better'; I don't believe she would want the upheaval of a new relationship for her or her kids. Christine and Janelle have all those kids to consider; their situation might not be ideal but there is clearly some love there. Meri's first wife and can't bear more kids--stayin' PUT.
      If anything, one or more of the wives might emotionally withdraw from Kody or the other wives (if they haven't already), but they've got a bunch of kids to consider.

    Your answers were right on target CPA - My stab at what the REAL truth is...

    1. Do you "get off" on fans fawning over you etc.. Ya think? I love the spotlight on me and am desperate for it to stay on me. I hold a grand illusion that my fame will last forever and I will continue to reap great benefits from it from here on out. You either love us or hate us and those who love us will continue to feed our perpetually unsatiated thirst for more, more, more. We love easy money (whether from taxpayers or pyramid schemes). Keep buying our joolry... No refunds.

    2. Specifically why do you think you are any better than other fundies? Ya think? Most of those other men are gray and balding or shave their heads. Who can top what I've got going on. Plus there's my cool sports car and let's admit it - Robyn's is a hottie. Plus, I am perpetually shopping for more wives and like the company of women. It's a win win for other women and me...

    3. Will you favor your children who choose polygamy as adults over those who do not?
    Ya think? Doesn't matter. If I have enough of them, odds are a few will be plygs so I won't be embarassed.

    4. Are the current wives in favor of the inevitable eventual addition of more wives beyond when Robyn is past her child-bearing years ? Doesn't matter what they think. I can take as many wives as I want.

    5. Do you worry about passing sexually transmitted diseases and germs in general among each other? No, our purity is constantly renewing. People without health insurance shouldn't get sick. We pray away the germs.

    6. How much $ money per month does it take to keep the compound? I have no clue. Janelle keeps the books, such as they are. I just know we could always use more money. Buy our joooolry. No refunds.

    7. Will any of you get conventional jobs again other than Janelle? Not if we can help it.

    8. What is Kody’s greatest deficit as a husband? My greatest deficit is that I didn't take a lot more wives earlier and get my own reality show sooner.

    9. How many more children do you want to have Kody? What would be your “ideal” family size? As many as I damn well please.

    10. Do you regret putting your children on national TV? If so, why? Only because some episodes they do feature the wives and children, and really, shouldn't the show be just about me?

    Bonus question: What would it take for a wife to get kicked out of your family? What would she have to do?

      I have a theory that Meri has always been relatively heavy (past 10 years) and slimmed down for the premiere of the show. And of course she made a production about how much healthier she likes to eat than the other wives in the first season...but she eventually gained all the weight back and then some.

      She might be running daily, sprinting, doing laps in the pool, whatever, but she is no longer the healthy, thin wife. And it's killing her that Janelle is getting thinner.

      Personally I am not someone who judges by weight, I have struggled with excess weight my whole life. I dislike Meri for the way she has treated her sister wives and bonus kids....I don't care how skinny she might get someday, she is still the same person on the inside.

    Re the jewelry line thing - I first assumed it was just a non-serious tax write off thing, but they are harpiing on it so much, I wonder if Kody, Meri and Robin actually take it seriously. Janelle obviously knows better, and Christine is such a welfare princess she doesn't seem to think she needs to work to provide her brood with a roof, food, or a college education.

    But how can they be serious. Suppose they have 2M viewers. Say half of those (let's be kind) are actually "fans" as opposed to viewers there to laugh at the train wreck. Suppose half of these fans actually admire them enough to support them in some venture. Suppose half of these actually have disposable income they'd want to spend supporting characters on a TV show (??). Suppose some of these are jewelry buyers. Suppose some of these admire the iconic jewelry enough to shell out hard earned cash on it. Not too many.

    Even so, once you've bought a piece, how much jewelry do you need? It's not groceries. Once they buy one aren't they pretty much done? How is that supposed to pay off 3 McMansions (Janelle excused as going for her own income) and pay taxes, insurance, car, utilities, food, etc, not to mention college for kids.

    It makes no practical sense that these people are concentrating on such a ridiculous "income source". Not to mention it's so badly managed that based on what we hear, anyone who tried to purchase something would never try again.

    Are they really that dumb? Or do they not care? They must see how easily the TLC gravy train could end.

    Re Janelle -- I think she should hurry up and lose weight and turn her blog into a "Janelle's journey to weight loss" book, so she can cash in on that before TLC goes away. The rest of them don't seem to be doing much to make $$.

      Of course your analysis of the potential market for their jewelry is spot on. Seems doubtful that they began this venture with a business plan, market research and advice from a good business analyst. The venture began as Robyn's teen-aged dream and Kody's white-horse wish to make it come true. Sometimes I think that if they removed their faces, ridiculous logo and any mention of their plyg lifestyle, the stuff might actually sell more. Especially the pieces that are in the casino. I also agree that Janelle should document her weight loss journey and shoot for a book. She's the most likable and relatable of all the wives. With a successful and significant weight loss, she might have a very interesting story to tell.

      When Mariah makes these pronouncements in couch sessions with her step siblings she does them with this "I'm going to say something provocative, but I'm so cute it's okay" look on her face (very at odds with her age), while her less indulged step siblings generally manifest an expressionless or long suffering air.

    Mariah tweeting that Aspyn can't study abroad doesn't surprise me. She comes off with an attitude of having superiorty over her siblings. Her comment about the mission statement being stupid was so disrespectful to the woman that raised her (and I'm not talking about Meri.) I'm sure she meant it from an "I'm going to miss you and worry about you" angle but yet again her bossiness outshines her intentions.

    Reading these tweets it seems obvious the Brown's are deep into their "celebrity" with their self-promotion, meet and greets, and events. It also seems they are really into money grubbing and lifestyle.....constantly looking for a way to push their jewelry line and turn a buck. If these are people of the true chosen religion......it is a seriously shallow one. It is really pathetic how sold out they are to self. In Christianity it seems Christians are at least sold out to Jesus. The Browns faith is really confusing to me.

      It feels like a "Real Housewives" show. Matt Roloff, another one. Used to like his show until it all became about selling.
      At least June and Sugar Bear don't try to sell sell sell, nor do G and B.
      Come one Browns, just get regular jobs.
