We're instructed to lead quiet, private lives and work out our salvation with fear (reverence of His holiness) and trembling (well-developed awareness of God's gift of grace and mercy, and of His presence in us and with us). Where does that fit with and how is that evidenced in these over-the-top, staged for TV events? Do the people involved even think about that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-5622641327643209512021-07-01T22:36:51.493-05:002021-07-01T22:36:51.493-05:00Agree with this 100%.Agree with this 100%.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-83700664760511754832021-07-01T22:36:00.440-05:002021-07-01T22:36:00.440-05:00You'd think they'd have other responsibili...You'd think they'd have other responsibilities (like working, helping around the house, helping with siblings, spending time with friends, etc.) to "follow each other's locations constantly).

The anesthesiologist is constantly monitoring your nails, the color of your lips, and your facial coloring throughout the process. Anesthesiologists really dislike (and talk about with their colleagues) the "princess-types" who are essentially potentially willing to jeopardize the baby's health because they want to look good in the post-delivery pictures. If mom's not getting enough oxygen, the baby's going to feel it before she's even aware.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-51187978610305897192021-06-29T21:20:11.046-05:002021-06-29T21:20:11.046-05:00You could tell even Chaney was expecting it when a...You could tell even Chaney was expecting it when all he was going to do was ask her to be his girlfriend.

The engagement that really made me feel uncomfortable was Tori’s where she kept saying, “ Where is the ring; where’s my ring; I know you have it. Where is it?” That was really awkward, especially in front of Bobby’s parents. What must they have been thinking.

I used to like to hear the practical, everyday things about how the family operates like homeschool, practical parenting advice, and maybe the occasional vacation. However I recognize this is a perk of building such a strong fan base-the family has to do less (allow less filming) in order to keep the show going. I still love them but they are far away from their humble roots and in many ways, completely unrelatable since they live a lifestyle most of their fans could only dream of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-45353425953431799722021-06-25T21:47:44.915-05:002021-06-25T21:47:44.915-05:003:46 - It is true, nail polish is removed for surg...3:46 - It is true, nail polish is removed for surgery. The color of your skin and nails beds are looked at during surgery as signs of blood circulation. Also, they usually place an oximeter on your finger to check your saturation during surgery and nail polish can mess with the reading.

The girl has to pretend she doesn't know what's coming, the guy is so nervous for days leading up to the proposal, and neither of them can talk about what's on everyone's mind. It would make much more sense to do the proposal first and then go off on a celebratory vacation where you can relax and talk openly instead of trying to drag out a "surprise".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-15952691165333794422021-06-25T15:46:37.687-05:002021-06-25T15:46:37.687-05:009:54 - Really.
