    I wonder if Jen often thinks about what Tens might have done with the "loftice" every year... it must kill her!

    I would love a mini tour of the updated space! Jen would totally die!

    I bet they made those two bedrooms the cousins rooms.. boys and girls. And don and tens got a grown up room

    I only finished watching just past "the rescue" but this woman is terrible. You can see the glee when she talks about how she is the one who spotted this woman, she is the one who called for help, she is the one who waited for help, the helicopter saw her and she had to point to where the woman was. Girl was absolutely cheerful and into herself that she is the hero. Disgusting.

    Then came the shaming of "I don't know how she ended up there?" She can't practice what she preaches about empathy and understanding.

    Next was the near tears about how "people say I pack to much in my bag but no I don't." Girl looked like she was going to cry hysterically, making the situation 100% about herself.

    What makes this worse if the fawning she will get from jenions. She exploited this woman's trauma for her own video/personal gain. She didn't have to add any of the footage, she could have just did a sit-down or voice over to spare this human beings experience.

    Vile woman.

    I felt that instantly, her shaming the woman for being stuck and I thought it was a weird flex. Didn’t Ken cross a creek on continue on a “trail” that had ended on her map? Then of course later she reveals she lost her garmen in reach.. or maybe just needed to change it.. who knows what the truth is. Didn’t she promise when she started hiking solo that she always had it with her and so she was so safe don’t worry?

    Did she already do her climb? Which mountain?

    29029 Everesting this weekend July 13-16 Snow King Mountain, Jackson Hole, Wyoming
    She doesn't actually climb the mountain. Just hikes up 1 mile, takes the gondola down, then repeats 18 more times within 36 hours

    Is it really only a mile at a time?

    The emergency is at 4:35. She comes upon a woman stuck up on a cliff. Jen calls for help, a helicopter comes and rescues the woman. Jen freaks out.

    ETA a lecture on trail safety from a person who regularly disregards trail safety :rolleyes:

    SHE CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE HER GARMIN THING IS :hearty-laugh:

    And she didn’t wear it in the second hike either?!?

    QUOTE (ColdOne @ 12/7/2023, 17:47) 
    Even the other hiker is closer to the stranded woman than Jen is & she spoke to her afterwards but no one reached out to Jen. Jen saves a life & cannot even make a friend. LMAO

    I understand respecting the woman’s privacy but who doesn’t stick around to meet that person and exchange information?

    So we have DVC and often just get a studio. I admit when we get a villa I have never ever cooked a meal! A few times I bought prepared food and served it but never wasted time cooking.

    I just can’t imagine what Jen needs to have in her owners locker. The idea of keeping a list and managing and refilling the items in it seems like a hassle.

    Especially because she actually changes everything around so often.

    Also any clothing worn would need to be washed before returned to the box and stored.

    I don’t want to worry about that stuff while I’m on vacation.

    And it’s brings to to the same worried about her car.. how does she wash and air out her bedding and mattress in “blue”. All that camping gear needs upkeep etc… and would get gross sitting in a stuffy van.

    I could put my selfie camera on me and spend a few minutes telling you what it means to me to be in certain areas of the parks. Talk about what inspires me. What I’m feeling. About the new friends I just met waiting in line.

    I could describe the treat I’m eating. Make fun of myself for my silly outfit or hat or ears and laugh.

    How does she make everything so depressing. I felt so sad for her.

    And being at the parks alone is actually kind of fun. I’ve done it for an hour or so at a time when my family did something different. Or I had stayed behind to do laundry and met up with them later. I’ve been alone after being with my family but them getting back home for work and school and me staying to have a day in the parks alone before a girlfriend shows up to have some girl time with me. It doesn’t have to look lonely and depressing and like you are as lost as her.

    And her list? For someone who has been as many times as her that list was like someone who had never been or who had written a list with their therapist to try to overcome some major phobia.

    If your goal is to walk in get popcorn, do a couple of rides and see fireworks do you need an actual checklist?

    Oh right…. This is Jen and she needs to feel accomplished. Happy 900th item checklist item! Haha! So funny when the items are 1- wake up. 2- open my eyes. Etc.

    I had to take a break from Jen for a few months. We are big DisneyParks fans. And I just couldn’t let her ruin it for me and watching her do all these races with felt a little like rubbing salt into a would since I haven’t been able to run again since an injury a few years ago.

    But curiosity got the best of me. I watched her solo park day. I admit I’ve had some odd solo park afternoons myself but that was the worst park vlog I have ever seen in my life. It’s like she had never been before? How can she not know anything that is going on? She offers no real information or sharing of even anything simple special to her? Even as simple as describing the atmosphere the landscaping anything… it’s one thing to wander aimlessly yourself. But if you are going to share it share something beautiful, worthwhile, informative, etc?

    And the retelling of her park days with her kids seem so odd to me. Why are they so afraid of everything? We just took kids on whatever they fit the height requirement. 7 Dwarves Mine Train is adorable for kids and not scary at all. The queue is adorable. And the fast parts are broken up with song and cut sparkly gems to help reset and get kids ready for the next little whoop dee doo. Really it’s two shorts fast parts. With singing and fun on either end. So adorable!

    I do think being alone with two kids at Disney could be hard because you never get a break making sure they are both ok and not over heated and have eaten etc. I give her that. But she’s had so much experience in the parks herself and time to prepare them. It’s like she doesn’t want them to fully experience the park because SHE can’t fully experience the park.

    DVC: I’m not really surprised she bought Riviera. We also have 500 points and are awaiting a new property to open up for sale. But if I was single and had easy cash like her I would just book hotel rooms at different resorts each solo trip. DVC is a lot to manage, good properties book up fast. Even in the deluxe resorts the hotel rooms are much more comfortable. Nicer beds and amenities.

    I wonder what Don’s trips to WDW with his new family will look like? I bet they are a lot more fun.

    I don't know if she explained it, but basically she did a bunch of 5 and 10 minute rides (there are warm ups and short rides you can stack with others to make longer rides, or just do a bunch of 5 minute warm ups and cool downs) It's a bit stupid and really a way to manipulate your numbers. Like she could spend 30 minutes doing 5 minute warm up rides , and that would be 6 rides. Ot she could do One 30 minute ride. So when someone has done 2000 rides it's not as crazy as it seems.

    Oh, she explained it alright on her IG stories yesterday 🙄 that’s why we’re saying she cheated her way to her 900th ride

    So how many times has she done these stacks? Probably most of her peloton training is in these stacks to it’s not like a true 900th ride? Such an arbitrary goal that means and matters nothing? I just can’t with her!

    I’ve been away from these forums for the holidays. I just didn’t want anything Jen to ruin my own fun.

    I check back in on her and well she finally got Covid huh?

    This will be like that vlog where she is sick with Don bragging how she never gets sick. Which is funny because so many of the vlogs she’s like sorry I sound weird I’m still a little sick.

    She isn’t special, not having Covid for all this time. Somehow my husband has never had it either. Even when we had a house full of sick people last winter he never got it. Even went we went on a vacation with family who turned out to have Covid my husband still never got it.

    My husband tested regularly over both of these instances and so many other close calls when traveling etc and somehow just seems to never get Covid. He is vaccinated BTW. And we are all wondering why just him.

    Covid is just hit or miss. Even extremely healthy people I know are living with long-Covid symptoms.

    I feel guilty saying this, but I hope she has to miss her races.

    Also how nice she gets to fight Covid in her house alone with no one else to take care of. I had a house full of sick people including elderly relatives and it was touch and go and so stressful.. all the whole I also had covid. That Covid fever is no joke!

    Jen’s travels are clearly her running away. She is uncomfortable in her own life, in her house and on her own. It’s less about adventure and more
    about continuously seeking something she does not understand which is herself, and relationships with other people.

    Then when she had the kids she is a martyr. Doing it all alone and doing everything in a manic state to prove she is perfect mother. It’s just bizarre to watch.


    QUOTE (Curveball @ 30/10/2022, 17:56) 
    Seems one of the benefits of Jen’s travels are that she gets to pretend/forget she has kids, so of course she is not buying them anything. They do not exist to her when away from home.

    OK so I am totally onboard with keeping a months or even up to 3 of food. Not prepping or hoarding but preparing ahead for your needs.

    And I understand avid gardeners preserving for the year and to share.

    After sharing her childhood I understand a bit more why Jamarelle has issues around food scarcity but why is Becky so worried about food? What’s her backstory to create such a crazy mindset? She even refers often to trying not to have that scarcity mindset.

    So did Jen’s Mom work? Sounds like from 10 on she was alone quite a bit and moving around and not being able to make friends. It’s kind of sad.

    This Star Wars thing is making me mad. I agree you don’t have to be super fan of something to be a fan and enjoy something. But this comes out of where she hasn’t seen any of the new movies or series and now can’t stop talking about it?

    I’m a 70’s child. Star Wars was my childhood. And the prequel movies were my sons childhood. I didn’t sit through all the clone war cartoons because I was a busy mom…. But they did play often in my home and I know the story lines. We lined up at the theater hours before (back in the day before you reserved a seat) to get a good seat and to sit together. Many halloweens my son was a Star Wars character. We did the new Galactic Star Cruiser at Disney when it first opened. Dressed up and everything (Amazing BTW). I consider us real fans. And recognize there are super fans out there who are more studied than us.

    But for Jen to all of a sudden buy all this stuff and talk about it as if she’s a life long fan? No, you aren’t in the club!

    Someone please tell her about the Lego set dates….

    She does somehow seem to be reclaiming a relationship with her brother. I mens a personal relationship with him.

    I think her brother and Don were good friends and got along well. I remember a tidbit about him being very upset about the separation. Is all of this concert going and Star Wars fandom part of her claiming him as hers? Because that’s what it feels like to me.

    So it is possible dons and tens camp see all of us followers, haters, observers etc…. As just the same camp of people. Jen’s internet mess.

    So the “I don’t share with wonder” could refer jen or to all of us…

    I do so wish someone closer to the situation would give us a bit more detail about how things really went down.

    Also I love the dress more in context of the wedding decor and setting and all…. Made more sense that it’s a boho theme.

    I don’t blame jen for not attending Mother’s Day.

    I found Jen from packing videos. I thought she was a kid. I stayed for the crazy. And honestly I had a marriage and life much like hers. I was married for nearly a decade before we had a child. I am a housewife and don’t need to work. My husband is a dork and very doting.

    But there was just something different about Jen. The divorce shook me.

    People call this a board of haters. But we are just observers and often I think root for Jen to grow and improve. But she is too busy being so self absorbed she never really sees herself.

    Thanks to all the bakers who have shared PM with me to fill me in! I am here but often days behind then don’t post because the conversation has moved on!
