Maybe they're using Robyn instead of traditional medical treatment. Goodness knows she "appears" to shed enough tears to keep the whole brood healthy.<br /><br />But wait . . . that doesn't make sense, given the unpaid hospital bill for someone in her household. <br /><br />But wait . . . it's the Brown clan, so nothing HAS to make sense.

What I find even more incomprehensible is the kind of cookware she is using. So she's preparing a casserole in an ALUMINUM casserole and serves the food on PAPER plates? Is this what's happening in many American homes? <br /><br />As someone from Germany this is a completely new concept for me. Does she do it so she doesn't have to do the dishes afterwards? What a BAD BAD habbit. Has she never heard of the environmental effects of behavior like that? <br /><br />Please, please, please - if your're doing the same thing - read up on the way aluminum is produced and how the rainforest in South America is shrinking every year becuase we overuse resources. And I won't even start on the fact that all the trash goes in the same trash can, making it impossible to at least recycle the plastics and the aluminum. <br /><br />It takes so little to do your part in saving energy and resources, if not for yourselves then for your kids. Plus china is so much more classy :-) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-67687696151564587642013-07-21T16:50:49.666-04:002013-07-21T16:50:49.666-04:00CJ - that was exactly my thought.

And for your take on it. Robins and Christine's threw me off the most. A Phoenix? Robin? And Christine seems strong to me, yes she has whiny days I guess, but she doesn't let Kody get away with his crap, she calls him on it, and she has stood strong in raising most of Janelle's and her own children. Plus, I think she handled Robin coming in with at least being as positive as she could. Yes, she signed on for possibly another wife, but still, has to be hard. So I guess the lil pixie to me, seems, childish, more girlie, and would represent Robin more so than that darn Phoenix.(The Phoenix seems strong, and I don't look at Robin and see strength. I see needy. It seems so masculine for a woman's piece too. The tree and the faithful, I get, I like, and could go for either Meri or Janelle. As you remember, Janelle left, then came back. She kept her faith and her faithfulness to her family. So, I could see her getting that one too. Oh well, just my take, wish he would explain how they came to be.

Also, the expensive ones. I would pay $200 for a diamond necklace but probably not on a tree. Why can't they sell cheaper ones? Maybe everyday designs that they can make for $1 and sell for $15. I admit that I have grown weary of them, but I do watch for the drama and nothing else to do LOL! I just finished watching the first episode. Why would they go back to Utah for the expo when so many people hate polygomy there?? They need cheaper designs they can sell for $15-30. <br /><br />As for the surrogacy issue, I think at this point they are doing it for drama. No one takes this long to decide to have a 2nd child when they are 41 years old! If she wanted another one she would do it or go for invitro. I think it sucks she wasn't able to have any more children but at this point she doesn't seem very invested in it. Robyn will probably have at least 2 more children and She and robyn are close so I am sure she could spend a lot of time with them. <br /><br />As for the other ladies not being invested in the jewelry thing, i think robyn and meri could take that on and do it and then they could also make income with real estate. It works they are all doing what they want. They obviously have to pull money out of somewhere because those houses ain't cheap!!!!

'Phoenix' is Robyn, 'Pixie Queen' Christine and Meri is 'Fidelis'. <br />To the best of my knowledge, they've never explained the exact meaning of the pieces, but to my mind, it goes something like this:<br />Meri has been faithful ('fidelis') to Kody in more ways than one, she has stuck with him all this time and he does truly love her. They're a perfectly matched couple, albeit it one that I would never want to spend any time with, hence the heart. <br />Janelle has provided Kody with a only semblance of stability, she represents his roots, so to speak. Also she has given him four sons, including his eldest, which is what the heart-shaped crown of the tree could be read as.<br />Robyn survived an allegedly abusive marriage and being 'a single, working mom', as she is so fond of saying. If you squint and turn your head just so, that kind of makes her like a phoenix arising from the ashes. <br />As for Christine, I have no idea how she is a 'Pixie Queen' and can only speculate. Either she's a princess, impish like a pixie or something or it's because two of the original three (now five) 'pixies' (the little girls except for baby Truely who's still a baby, according to Kody's section of the book) are her daughters.<br />Obviously, I'm only guessing, but this is my take. I'd love to hear other people's thoughts.b0red_n0wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-1294828705046346412013-07-21T13:53:35.491-04:002013-07-21T13:53:35.491-04:00I think the "faithful" charm is referrin...I think the "faithful" charm is referring to faith, as in faith in a religion, etc. I think this because they take a lot of things from the LDS Church and there is a popular talk from a leader about the 6 be's. Be grateful, be smart, be clean, be true, be humble, be prayerful. Then the LDS have made that into things with bees. So basically, they just took that and made it "their own".sit therenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-53098099232839262882013-07-21T13:50:31.610-04:002013-07-21T13:50:31.610-04:00There were a range of number of rooms and floorpla...There were a range of number of rooms and floorplans in the subdivision. She didn't need a hobby room along with 4 other bedrooms upstairs. One of the empty bedrooms could be the hobby room. It's the wet bar that necessitated the one extra room. Why oh why couldn't she install it after the house was built with the on else's room in it? <br /><br />The woman can sew. I can her wanting a room for that. She had that in the other home. What she could do since she is out of Utah is make some homemade blankets and kids clothes and sell them at craft fairs or on etsy. She shouldn't do real estate. Others are in that. She was working in Utah. In Nevada there should be more tolerance for her to do that work again. Most the public want the wives working so they have a means to leave. kmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791551228094642235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-56312934372222453382013-07-21T13:45:26.371-04:002013-07-21T13:45:26.371-04:00One of my favorite creators of knick-knacks is Jim...One of my favorite creators of knick-knacks is Jim Shore. I'd gotten notification that he was going to be on QVC this morning.<br /><br />So my mind went to "What if the Browns were on QVC?" It would be the first time in history that five people would be on camera with the hostess, but there would be NO sales to report. Lots of fans would be calling in to say how much they luvvvvvve the Brown Family, but when the hostess asks, "Wonderful! Which pieces did you buy?" the replies would STILL be, "Oh, I can't afford to buy any of them, but they are SOOOO beautiful, and the family is so wonderful."<br /><br />And still, Kody would be saying that they're being discriminated against because of their beliefs. <br /><br />Their beliefs (which I consider to be an intentional twisting of the Christian faith they claim to follow) are something they will have to answer for. I do not "discriminate" or think badly of them because of their "religion." For me, it's because three of them are hypocrites and scam artists; the other two just don't have the resources to walk away.AZChristiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-24704266079728510372013-07-21T12:55:50.654-04:002013-07-21T12:55:50.654-04:00Okay, so I looked on each of the wives twitter acc...Okay, so I looked on each of the wives twitter accounts, because I was trying to figure out which piece of jewelry Kody designed for each wife, as the website doesn't say which wife they are for. So, I think I got it right, but can anyone tell me if he has ever explained why/what each piece means to him for each wife? How he came about the thought process for each symbol, for each wife? (if there was a thought process)....sorry, usually not snarky, but they just don't explain things about their business like they should. I used to have a small business online, I know how it works, it's not that hard, but you have to keep lines of communication open with your customers/lurkers, because the lurkers could be potential customers. Also, would be nice to have an explanation on each piece. Would be sentimental to read I guess when looking at each piece.

Verrrrryyyy interesting! Meri's cryptic comment, if I had to guess, was directed at Christine and maybe Janelle. Since she is bff's with Robyn. BUT, I think several months ago, someone noticed that Meri "unfollowed" Robyn and maybe Janelle on twitter? And they unfollowed her, too. And then at some point they re-followed each other. I don't know because I'm not on twitter. But I wonder if, after the move to the big houses, there was trouble in paradise between besties Meri and Robyn. <br /><br />I also had an "aha" moment, with Robyn's odd expectations of everyone re the jewelry business. I think she is being manipulative. She is setting it up, so that if (when) the business is a failure, it's everyone else's fault for not putting in more time on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-66977267994678401562013-07-21T10:13:45.611-04:002013-07-21T10:13:45.611-04:00Sorry, no way I would put that cheap metal in my e...Sorry, no way I would put that cheap metal in my ears.
