Watching that episode where the duggars went to the biltmore house makes me never want to go there. Not that I really wanted to to begin with but man. They showed the tour guides telling them "put your hands clasped in fornt of you" and "we don't touch anything" it was so stupid. And when Jimbob asked if they could stand around the table (not even asking to touch it just to stand around it!) they look like he asked them if he could blow it up. It's like my lord this is just STUFF. It's SUPPOSED to be touched/used/stood by. I mean do you think the guy who built it never used it. And you know what even if some put a knick in it by accident guess what? the world didn't come to an end. It's STUFF. You can't take it with you when you die obviously because the guys dead and his house is still here. I could see them saying don't touch the pictures or other porcelain items but a table is a table. It doesn't matter who used it. A chair is a chair. We shouldn't panic if someone sits on it.
Anyway that's the end of my ramblings on that.

So Josie brooklyn duggar was born on the 10! Premature but I think she'll be fine we've had a few in my extended family born early and they're all fine. She was 1lb. 6oz. We pray for the duggars and hope Josie can go home soon. She'll be well loved that's for sure. :D

Jimbob Robert
Sells cars, real estate, And spends as much time at home as possible.

Michelle Annette
Is a stay at home mother who home schools (or home schooled where the older ones are concerned) all her children. Has the patience of a saint. Not just because she has 19 kids but because she always seems so calm even when they get in trouble and she has to get on to them. I mean I wouldn't be screaming at them or anything but I couldn't be that calm. :D
So their goal worked. They said they wanted to do the show to inspire others and they did because I've seen some things they do that I could stand to change in myself. I don't think they're perfect but no one is and it's nice to see a big happy family. Reminds me of my own childhood.

So the duggars answer questions. :D
The question that sticks out in my mind is when the one woman asked "don't you worry about your carbon footprint since everyone else (just look at celebrities and the things they buy, walk outside and look at the garbage thrown down by everyday people you cant tell me that they're doing good for the environment) is doing they're part?" I thought Jimbob answer was perfect he pointed out (which I already knew) that they're carbon footprint per individual is lower than the average persons. They buy most of what they have used from clothes to toys to bunk beds even their kitchen appliences were bought used. (They tell you in their book)
He's right. I mean look at the mall. How many people do you see that go in there and buy from all the stores? Their spending tons of money on brand new clothing and toys and books because they (especially teenager) are "to good" to wear or use used items. We should worry less about the amount of people the duggars have and more about the amount of things we allow our kids and ourselves to buy brand new when we can have a used item that works just as well. We need to worry more about how teenagers don't even flinch to spend 50 bucks on a pair of pants when they could go to a used clothing store and get perfectly good clothes for much less. Almost all my clothes come from goodwill and none of them have stains or holes (and people have complimented me on my clothes) and ALL the pants I have bought there have been under 10 dollars. The shirts as well. Although I do understand not buying some things used like underwear or shoes things like that. I don't do that either.
Anyway just found it ironic that people are worried about the duggars "carbon footprint" when the odds are they and their family are probably doing more harm than the duggars.
