| QUOTE (TheRedMinivan @ 7/1/2020, 06:38 PM) QUOTE (NotAMommyPlanner @ 7/1/2020, 06:31 PM) How many are these other influencers getting paid? I mostly only follow the EC girls, and they're only pimping planners and product given to them. Are they actually getting paid, other than by what ad money they can get from YT? Yeah, I saw a couple YTers do a financial rundown a while ago and while they do get some revenue from AdSense it's not a lot. Most revenue comes from brand deals (paid by campaign or post or video - sometimes thousands of dollars per campaign), affiliate links and deals, and if they generate their own consumable content - meaning, classes, filters, and other stuff they can sell directly.
This sound about right. It's even easier if you just have a large following and can integrate it easily into your videos and blogs. WHICH YOU HAVE TO DISCLOSE IS AN AD. EC girls, do you hear that? SAY ITS AN AD. |

| QUOTE (bleucheese @ 6/29/2020, 11:39 PM) I missed Jen's post but I think that was more about planning for functionality, not as an excuse to buy new things or make things look perfect. she's shared her messy dining table post planning before. she seems undercover bitchy about her peers who are more about the act of planning, like Sam from happilyahousewife who needs an entire new office full of planner shit to just write some things down.
I get the "act of planning" can be really fun and therapeutic (there is actually a PhD in Art Therapy). There's a science to it, which is how I personally approach it to help with my depression. But the fake layouts undermine that, and undermine those of us who do spend a few hours a week (or a day) without a layout because they just want attention or free shit. It makes anyone with a very well-designed week, with lots of room for actual plans and notes, seem just as "needy." No, sorry, I just do this to feel better, which might explain why all of this crap has made me feel worse; I've stopped planning altogether, and had to reign it in when I dumped an entire storage cube of stickers into the trash. These are mean girls who know how to feel like Regina George has personally traumatized anyone else who takes planning as an art kinda seriously, but also does use a planner in real life for every aspect of our lives.
Edit, oh and SpicyWaitress if it was for her new desk agenda, it was given to her early last week. I deleted IG because it was taking over all of my social media. If she is using the planner with rings, it was all given to her. (Edit again: I do not know how to tag other people, and I give up.) |

| QUOTE (GrownUpStickerBook @ 5/25/2020, 09:15 PM) It sounds like many of you had a much better experience with movers than I did. It was nice having someone else pack up my entire house...until I started unpacking at the new place. They literally just filled boxes as they went through the house. I found things in the most random places, much of it not protected in any way. All I can say is I’m glad I didn’t pay my own money for their services.
This is my experience when I get groceries at Target vs an actual grocery store. I get frozen food in the same bag as a notebooks at Target, ruining the notebook. They just throw whatever they want into bags, mixing chemicals (detergents) with food.
At grocery stores they are trained, or just are hired on knowledge of how to just know how to not be so dumb. Kitchen stuff in one bag. Separate the bleach into its own bag.
But I am shopping at Target so...I get what I pay for. My moving experiences have been well worth paying for the help, but like anything, one bad expensive experience and you just don't want to do it again. |

| QUOTE (gardenhoe @ 5/25/2020, 06:10 AM) We don’t really think Jen is actually packing boxes herself, do we? She’s hiring a professional packing and moving company for sure. The type that packs everything in that house. Including the kitchen trash if you aren’t careful.
Okay, to be fair, I've hired movers. Even when I was married, we hired a pair of guys to do it all. A 3 bedroom apartment (a friend lived with us in our townhouse for awhile) and only $200 from point A to point B, about 10 miles up the road. Worth it, and worth the 50% tip I gave them in cash. But she might get an "owwwie" and need a "bandaid for her boo boo" or something and then need to vlog about that, so she'll need to beg Don for more time to move out. I can just see her, uh, planning, this.... |

| QUOTE (Anastasia Beaverhausen @ 5/24/2020, 04:56 PM) If Don was so controlling and abusive, it would make sense for Jen to change back to Boyles. Especially given her whole “getting back to my true self” bullshit journey. I think she is keeping Ross not because of the children but because she wanted to get rid of Don, not to be ejected from Don’s family.
Yes, this, exactly. I had a very abusive marriage and never even took his name. If he was SO ABUSIVE why would she want to KEEP IT? She has no branding with it! Her brand is a totally different name, not HER NAME. She has nothing to lose by changing it back. This is an obvious sign she's a total liar. |

Totally agree. My mom remarried (several times) and I remember being so embarrassed when I had to turn in papers with her not-my-last-name name on it. Like, contact info, etc.
Yeah, I saw this happen with a previous boyfriend with his previous wife and her child who she had with her previous husband who died tragically. Kid had a last name that wasn't either of theirs. A nightmare for the school and them to deal with. |

| Okay, so if Laken sent a note to Jen "for any reason" and Naina recently posted a "bare it all, this is what my days look like" face, that was liked by Jen, and a puppy picture Jen liked 3 days ago, then suddenly Jen did NOT like Naina's birthday post, something happened in the last 3 days.
Naina just left Jen off the list despite Jen's support during all these stressful months for Naina. Well, there's your backstabber. |

Can you imagine Jen in bed with her cutesy awww coo coo voice with a guy who is hot and yet a virgin and with a trust fund?
I don't want to really see that video but in a weird way...I want to know what happens with that situation  |

| QUOTE (Depl @ 5/23/2020, 08:30 PM) On dating, she will definitely end up with a guy who is at least 15 years older than her. He won’t be rich like Don but he won’t be poor. Even if he has kids, they would most likely be adults or close to it. I can’t see her dating anyone who has little kids.
And she'll talk to them in her lil baby awww coo coo voice, which will either 1) keep them away from the house, thereby getting all of the kinks he wants, then a marriage, then the money SHE wants or 2) make them poison her water and turn this entire shitshow into a Carrie Underwood song.
My bet is unfortunately on option 1, because normal kids have more things to do than think bout their father's girlfriend...like, their own, instead? (ahem.) |

Got it. States have different laws, wasn't sure how it worked in theirs. And that's a great deal for Jen, she can afford something quite nice, to be honest. Of course, she'll ruin it with decor from That 70s Show.
QUOTE (Cookie224 @ 5/23/2020, 08:16 PM) I have a good relationship with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law but I wouldn't feel at ease going with them only on holiday and sharing a bedroom... am I weird or are they weird? 
When I was in a super serious relationship with a guy in college, his brother and sister brought ther bf/gf's and all of us girls slept in a bunkbed-style room in this huge cabin during christmas, and the boys all slept in their own room. Now, 20 years later, I still think I'd do it again to prevent having to just tell everyone not to have sex. It was a comfortable setup, the bunks were all full-size beds and we had plenty of bathrooms. The parents had their own room, but if the mom was in there....yeah, that would be a little weird. It was fun to stay up and gossip about the other guys, it helped to form a nice friendship among us. Edit: But it wasn't JUST the girls. That would be weird. |

| QUOTE (PlantBasedJourney @ 5/23/2020, 07:49 PM) Most single men (ages 26 and up) I work with (I work in the legal field) would never date someone like her. They want someone young, pretty, fun, (like Tensleigh!) and sans baggage.
This is one reason that when I date (the desire ebbs and flows, I really enjoy the only drama coming from online "planners" I don't even know  ) I don't mention my divorce and sometimes I even lower my age to just under 30, instead of mid-30s range I am in, because I have really great skin and since I never had kids my body still looks very young 20's. (However, I am going to need to grab some box dye soon, my grays are making me look older by the minute.) Most guys who date at that age also want to have a little more...fun.... But does Jen even actually drink or just pretend to? Because that could make things verrrry interesting if she could pull herself together for a decent date. Could that be exactly what she needs to chill the f* out?
Edit to add: RE the house - Isn't it law that he has to buy her out of it before he can sell it if he does it during the divorce? |

| QUOTE (SingHo!toDons2ndWife @ 5/19/2020, 12:55 AM) We could haul ass out of our house pretty quickly. I am Organized(Un)LikeJen and go through every drawer, cabinet, etc on a bi-monthly basis to get rid of any rumpus objects/outgrown kids toys and clothes/expired items in the pantry, etc.
I don’t want to get divorced, obviously, but I’m envious that Jen gets to move right now. After being at home all day, every day for the last 10 weeks, I’m ready for a change in scenery!
I actually did have to move in the middle of all of this. What I'm wondering about is the furniture - who keeps what? Is Don going to enable her and keep everything? Or tough it out and live like an adult and buy her own shit?
That is what caught me off guard, realizing that oh, shit - how am I going to get a mattress? Expensive bed in a box it was. (But no regrets - I got what I paid for!) |

| QUOTE (FeelingAlltheFeelings @ 5/18/2020, 06:17 AM) QUOTE (ColdOne @ 17/5/2020, 20:22) I really hope she's finally throwing away all of the old paper she's hoarding because moving half a U-Haul of old notebooks would be insanity. I just watched one of her first videos where she was showing off her note cards that she kept from college. She couldn't get rid of them because she worked so hard on them. That's definitely where the Mari Kondo stuff needs to come in--say thank you for the time the note cards served you well, then toss 'em! Can you link the video where she talks about the cards? I remembered that one awhile back but couldn’t find it, I had myself convinced I made it up.
I've been keeping all of my journals since 2015, partially because there's some contact info in there I'd like to transfer to something permanently, and also I REALLY want to hire a handwriting analyst to explain why it's changed so much in short periods of time, and explain the time gap betwee entries. I don't really want to read them, it's more what is about the entries.
Her cards have none of that. There's nothing to analyze. They're just a symptom of hoarding. She need to actually hire Marie Kondo in person. |
