I Scour the Internet: The Tax Day Edition April 15, 2015





I'm trying to decide which is worse: Reading Robyn "The New Mrs. Kody" Brown's fanpage or paying taxes.

Paying taxes. Hands down.






So what have the Brown's been up to so far this April?

Well, let's take a look, shall we?


First of all, another High School Teen Brown is graduating and has been accepted to attend the US Air Force Academy!

Excellent Job, Hunter!!!

In late March, Daddy dearest deflected a tweet if Hunter had made a college decision yet...that sneaky devil...

UNDECIDED???

But then Hunter must have gotten his Official Notification and he triumphantly took to Twitter to announce it!

His proud Mama tweeted off this congratulation...

And even bonus mom Meri tweeted off her congratulation....


Kody took the lazy way out and just retweeted Janelle's congratulations. And Robyn...

Well, Robyn didn't say one word. Nothing...Nada...

When approached on her fanpage, she gave this explanation...



Let's think about this. All four families live within spitting distance of each other. Supposedly they are in touch with each other daily...at least that's what they want their fans and followers to believe.   Robyn simply didn't get the "memo" it was OK to tweet about Hunter's appointment to the Academy and was too busy to ask.

Guess they aren't as communicative and "close" as the TV show wants us to believe.

But notice how she includes that the other wives "...don't announce everything [about] my kids either..." prefaced with the words "...you need to know..." No Robyn, we the audience only need to pay taxes and die. That's all we need, thank you.

So there lies the true reason for her silence: the other wives don't announce everything about her kids. Wow... And she wonders why she has an image problem.


Since I'm talking about the Newest Mrs. Kody Brown, this is as good a place as any  (besides the Recycle Bin on my Desktop) for the following postings from her fanpage.

Just file these under Robyn Puts to Rest Internet Rumors...

I just wanted to set the record straight about something. Here are the facts.I am friends with Kendra. I have never...

Unfortunately we've heard this all before. And being a "public" figure, one would think she would be careful of the friends she keeps...you know those old sayings "with friends like that who needs enemies," and "guilt by association,"  know what I mean? I think it's time she takes a hard look at what her friend is posting because it is not a pretty sight.

She won't have to wonder why she has an image problem. She will know.


At least her next posting does put to rest a nasty rumor that she (and/or her ex-husband) had a drinking problem.

While I am on here I should probably clear up another rumor. I was the one who added the NO drinking, NO rated R or...

If you want a good laugh, read through the comments where a "certain group of commenters" starts clashing with another group over who is right or wrong.

I don't know about you, but I'm ready to depart the hell known as Robyn's fanpage. One moment please while I click my heels and murmer "there's no place like Twitter...there's no place like Twitter..."

Janelle showed her followers that she may not be the brightest of the sister wives with this political faux pas...


Poor Janelle must have been sleeping during her American History and American Government classes. Some names quickly comes to mind: John Adams and John Quincy Adams, William H Harrison and Benjamin Harrison, Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.

Thank goodness the reporter from the New York Times who wrote a story about the Browns last year politely reminded Janelle she might want to rethink her tweet...or at least explain what the heck she was talking about...

Really? Hmmmmm.....Maybe going to Twitter wasn't so good an idea after all...

But wait, there were birthdays this month. Here are some tweets!


And even Meri's Acorn sent a birthday greeting to Truely...

So that was the first two weeks of April. To close out this edition, here's a cute tweet of Hunter brushing his sister Truely's hair...

And remember, I Scour the Internet So YOU Won't Have To !!!!

When Reality Stars Bite Back: A Review of "Robyn Brown Sisterwife #4"


Without a doubt, Robyn "The New Legal Mrs. Kody Brown" is the least liked of the Original Three Sister Wives consisting of Janelle, Christine, and of course, the former legal Mrs. Kody Brown, Meri.

If you listen just to Robyn, in her many tweets on the subject, she tries to present her case as one of being...misunderstood.

I remember a few years ago, Robyn crying on Twitter how people don't see the "real" her. That she's a wonderful friend, etc. etc. etc.

Funny, but in most social circles, if someone has to constantly say they're being misunderstood maybe they should start looking at themselves for answers, rather than blaming others.

Robyn does have an image problem. It seems all those years of ranting and raving against people who don't "like" her, calling them 'haters' and boasting about #blockingsprees have not improved that image. And let's not forget how she appears so very...um...I'm trying to be positive here...witchy when it comes to dissent from within the Brown Family itself.

The moment Christine found out Kody chose Robyn's dress

Who can forget how she chose not to tell the Original Three that, after a day of trying on wedding dresses, she decided to go with the dress Kody chose? And if only Kody had kept his mouth shut, the Original Three, particularly Christine, would have been none the wiser. That's how Robyn related the incident in their book Becoming Sister Wives. It was all Kody's fault, not hers!



Queen Robyn was not amused Hunter dissed her
Or those immortal words she chose to use to show her new family that yes, she was indeed Kody's wife when she was pregnant with Sol..."A baby is a physical manifestation that there is an intimate relationship between a husband and wife..." and later demanding an apology from Christine for her being less than sisterwiferly (I made that word up)  towards her.

And let's not forget that Open Letter to a Monogamous Beautician, her blog entry on TLC's own website. In this epic essay, she tells us monogamist women how superior polygamy is, especially when choosing a prospective husband. She asks us if we have  "... ever looked at someone else’s husband and thought: 'I wish I could find someone like him' or 'All the good men are taken'?" And then further explains "...Well, in my belief system a woman has the opportunity to consider every man in our church as a potential husband."

I'm pretty sure Loretta Lynn wrote a couple of hundred songs about that very situation. Lynn's  "Fist City" (I'm here to tell you gal to lay off a my man,  If you don't wanna go to fist city) quickly comes  to mind. So Robyn, the answer is we may have thought about it, but we have the good sense to keep our mouths shut because we monogamist women like our teeth to stay in our monogamist mouths and not knocked out by a monogamist man's wife.

Girlfriend has a Texas sized image problem, ya'll...

And let's not go into how Robyn gleefully accompanied Meri and Kody to witness the demise of their marriage, watching Meri tearfully sign her D.I.V.O.R.C.E. papers. I think a sensitive woman would have seen how much mental pain Meri was in, and tactfully would have declined the opportunity to be a witness to the actual signing.

I'm sure  Meri's and Kody's attorney could have found another person to witness the signing.

Rather than seeking legitimate professional help in repairing her damaged image Robyn has decided instead to open a brand new fanpage on Facebook, featuring, yep you got it, Robyn. All Robyn. Twenty-four/ Seven /Three Hundred and Sixty Five Days worth of...Robyn.

Bad move, Robyn.

She has named her fanpage simply Robyn Brown Sisterwife #4, and in an attempt at humor, promised she has left her broomstick at home.

If this fanpage was the best answer to her image problem, Robyn's the Queen of De Nial. And from one witch to another, never EVER leave your broomstick at home!

Robyn's problem isn't "haters". Robyn should look in the mirror and see the real problem is...and has always been...Robyn.

But enough of me writing about Robyn's shortcomings. Let's take a brief tour of her new fanpage...shall we?

 First, we have Mrs. Kody Brown's "proof" that this is her real fanpage.

Well here is some proof...I guess I will have to put some time into getting verified. :-)

Frankly Robyn, you want to know the real giveaway this fanpage was you? It was the number of times you used the words 'I', 'my', 'my family', and when you showed pictures of your family - composed of only YOU and YOUR children. Thank goodness there was only one picture of Kody, of course that will change, I'm sure.

We get it, Robyn. It's you. Thanks.

Then we have Robyn's explanation for creating her very own fanpage.

This is really Robyn Brown from Sisterwives. I have decided to do this like page to connect with fans. I know I have a...

Earth to Robyn...It's pretty darn hard to connect with "fans" when she blocks them at the first sign they may not agree with her. Now, I'm not saying Robyn need to become best buds with trolls, but maybe if she spent less time trying to explain herself  and more time actually connecting with fans, more people will begin to like her.  Maybe...

For example, someone suggested how Robyn could connect with her fans.

robyn would it be possible for you to have a meet the fans day. like maybe set up a location for a book signing and that way everyone can talk to you

As of this writing, there has been no response to their comment. [UPDATE - 4/9/15 It appears this comment has been deleted, most likely by the poster. This is the info from the original embed code] Perhaps, Robyn should take note of other reality stars, most notably Teresa Giudice and Bethenny Frankel who made millions by doing a lot of meet and greets and book signings at Malls, stores and other public places. It's a good idea. So instead of asking a troll to explain what they are talking about, maybe ignore the troll and acknowledge a "fan" and their idea!


Here is a lost opportunity to connect with her potential new fans.

Right?
Posted by Robyn Brown Sisterwife #4 on Saturday, April 4, 2015

Perhaps if Robyn were to relate WHY this meme touched her, instead of just typing "Right?",  more people would begin to see the real Robyn. And let's face it, it would be a good place to use all those personal pronouns she loves to use.

So there it is. Maybe Robyn will be able to rehabilitate her image, much like she rehabilitated her credit rating in order to obtain financing for her McMansion.

But it's going to take time, and a lot of work. Can Robyn eventually turn her bad image around? Only Robyn can answer that question for sure.
