And yes, Joseph......"slowly but surely."<br /><br />And yes, Joseph Smith did "invent" the commandment of polygamy as justification for his adultery and desire to have relationships with other women. <br /><br />Watching the Browns lament about their debt and approval to buy these expensive homes is sickening to me. These are the types of people that led to much of the housing and economic crisis in the U.S. Unqualified buyers without jobs or extremely limited income taking out loans for homes they cannot afford (and do not deserve.) Just watch them all drool over the upgrades to these already beautiful homes - granite countertops, french doors, tile flooring. Why would unemployed single parents (because that's what they are - 3 of them are not legally married, and if you want to say they are then they're at best 1.25 parent households) think they can purchase expensive homes? It is truly sickening. Here's a thought - why don't y'all quit making more babies and all go get freaking jobs?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-41888244033363185332012-11-21T12:47:58.776-05:002012-11-21T12:47:58.776-05:00Maybe more bad plot padding to make us think it wa...Maybe more bad plot padding to make us think it wasn't Robyn after all.

From the little that comes out from other former reality "stars" such as Jon Gosselin, the family gets ONE check. My guess is that, for tax reasons, the check (or direct deposit) is made payable to Brown Family Entertainment.

Especially since her sister is living with her now because Robyn is just so busy being a business women that she can't take care of her kids anymore. Also, I know they only have room for four homes on that cult-de-sac, but the question of a fifth wife hasn't been completely shot down yet. Which makes me wonder if Robyn's sister is being "courted". Does anyone know if she is legally married or mistrissed out already?

Plus whatever they make from the LIV business. based on the page view numbers of the Sisterwifescloset site, I'd say they are on the loss side of that "investment". <br /><br />The book has pretty much run its course for now, although I'm sure that sales will spike a tad now that the show is back on. Especially if they insist on talking about it. however i'm also betting that most of the people who watched tonight, have been following the show all along and knew about/read the book. by now it should be on the library shelves for the checking out, with no holds.

I haven't seen the show yet - it's just now 9 AM. <br /><br />There is zero evidence that TLC has EVER purchased or assisted in the purchase of real estate for its reality families. With the Browns show dying the death why would they do so for them? besides it makes for more DRAMA if the Browns screw up, as we all anticipate.

I think they have the money for a massive portion of the homes from TLC an they are getting approved for a loan of 25K or less. The other idea is the interest rate could be really high. You can get a car loan with bad credit...you'll just have 15-21% interest. Might be the same for homes. But the banks don't care if you pay on time. They're okay if you can "sort of" afford something because they make money on fees etc. when you pay late.

As it turned out, there were a lot of us that went home on the weekends, so our parents took turns carpooling every Friday and Sunday night my freshman year. When my father got stationed in California, I no longer commuted on the weekends. That's when it REALLY got to be fun and I had to learn how to budget my allowance in order to eat on the weekends.Cynical Jinxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613346629718091568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-89364135365131783742012-11-18T22:58:03.500-05:002012-11-18T22:58:03.500-05:00How do you erase debt ......just like that.
