    I think I am in the Twilight Zone. I don't remember her ever having a fire there, so perhaps that was with the owners after her. I'm really freaking out now.

    I'm freaking out right, too! LOL! My mom said she thinks there was another owner between your gparents and mine.

    Yeah there was a shed/garage that was built into the hill under the post office...that's where my gparents would go for safety during bad storms.

    I was thinking about that house in June. My grandma passed away, and her funeral was in Hot Springs. I was thinking about all the time as a kid I spent out at Pearcy and how I would love to go out there again to see where she made a life for herself.

    I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma. My grandpa passed away a couple years ago and Gma moved out of that house and is currently living in Hot Springs.

    Yeah, we used to go back to visit them every summer in Pearcy...being from San Diego I thought it was so cool that they had cows, could go fishing in the ponds etc. They had pasture land that they were lease out to their neighbor who let their cows graze there.

    My mom said they moved to Pearcy in the 90s.

    That's the understatement of the year. Pearcy is a TEENY tiny town.

    The Duggar's house, obviously.

    And, yes, we have slept under the same roof...probably in the same room. I remember my grandpa sitting me down and telling me that he has loaded guns all over the house and NEVER to touch them. He told me, "I don't believe in gun safety...I believe in kids obeying".

    P.S. I always thought it was so funny that the kitchen floor was carpeted...I had never seen that before...or since.

    I have never spent time there, but at the hushbull's house, they feed marshmallows to their dogs.

    I think I have only been to Fayetteville and Little Rock.

    I want to go camping in the Ozarks.

    Way to turn this thread back on course...I was wondering if that was going to happen.

    We are going to get rumors started saying we have slept in the same room. lol

    I always slept in the room at the back of the hallway to the left hand side.

    Yeah because the bedroom directly across from it is the master bedroom. Yes, we have indeed slept in the same room. It was the guest room/sewing room. The other bedroom was my grandpa's office....complete with loaded guns.

    Well, from what I've heard her body is in bad shape. She's had 2 c-sections and I guess it's REALLY bad for the mom to have regular births after c-sections (because of scarring). She had to search and search until she found a doctor who would do natural births despite the risks.


    Not that I necessarily support people having so many children, I just wanted to clear up the misconception about the supposed "danger" of normal birth after cesarean. In fact, the risks are very very low. The issue causing the most concern with a VBAC ( vaginal birth after cesarean) is uterine rupture. It used to be thought that the risk of this was quite high, but it was not based in fact at all. The research and evidence indicates the risk is really quite low, and that there is a 0.07% chance of uterine rupture. The marginally higher risk of this is in the pregnancy itself. I am so sick of this perception that is perpetuated by the medical establishment that pregnancy and birth are "dangerous"......... it is not, and if ever there were proof of that, this woman has got to be it.

    I think the danger is not natural birth after C-section, but natural birth after 17 kids. That has to take its toll on a woman's body. She has not had time to recover from pregnancy before Jim Bob has her knocked up again. Poor woman.

    Why do VBACs get such a bad rap??
