Ava Gardner, c.1947
"There was never a dull moment although there were quiet times when we talked about literature, current events, politics and life. She was intelligent and well read. She taught me to love to read and appreciate “good books.” She read to me from the “Wind in the Willows.” She was delighted to tell me about Hemingway and introduce me to Robert Ruark, another famous North Carolinian, because he was a writer and not “just an actor”’ She gave me time and attention and greatly influenced my world view. She taught me to value diversity in people and cultures and that the world extended far beyond the provincial borders of eastern North Carolina and was full of wonder."
-Ava Thompson, Ava Gardner's great-niece

Oh damn I'm also due Jan 1, I don't want my kid to share a birthday with a Duggar. How many days are left in the calendar that are not yet Duggar birthdays or anniversaries?
Tumblr media
Info, Please!: How Many Calendar Days Don't Have A Duggar / Bates Birthday or Anniversary?
I'm pretty sure I've done a Post on this before, but not for a very long time! Anon, I know you only asked about the Duggars, but I'm going to include the Bateses too, since I know I'll get follow–up Asks!
There are quite a few "free" days, without a Duggar / Bates Birthday or Anniversary. (More than I would've expected!) Here is the full list of "Free" Days, as of November 17, 2022—

I Kind of Like the M1 Carbine
It’s the gun I have most frequently traded off or sold – only to buy or assemble another one later on.  Now, my carbine is a post-war manufacture, an Iver Johnson built in Arkansas, back in 1984.  As you will note from the photo below, others have shared my appreciation for the carbine.  If you look at things from Robert Ruark’s perspective – Use Enough Gun – the carbine is kind of inadequate –…

 Description Book: 
africa;?hunting;?short stories; sporting Robert Ruark was perhaps the most renowned safari writer of the twentieth century. As a respected columnist and author during his lifetime, his writings have influenced thousands of hunters to travel to Africa to see the places that Ruark immortalized in his writings. Despite his impact, Ruark only wrote for a period of fifteen years, but it was a time where he lived his life to its fullest potential. He travelled all across the world in order to see and do everything he could dream of, but it was in East Africa that he came to find a spiritual home. As the area became increasingly independent of colonial rule, Ruark predicted the economic, social, and political ruin that has since been the daily reality of the region. In this detailed account of Ruark?s life, Terry Wieland has written a definitive book on Ruark, the restless traveler, and the times in which he lived, as well as his lifelong fascination with Africa.

Poor No More. Robert Ruark. New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1959. First edition. Original dust jacket.
Poor No More is a lurid portrait of the American scene, in business, in the society of New York's feverish cocktail-night club life, a portrait one would shudder to think represented anything but a minuscule portion of a nation. For there is little to relieve the seamy aspects under the brittle varnish of show and the surface attraction of success.

You said you bet $5 Jed+Katey name their son Jed Jr (double or nothing they style it Jed! Jr.) What if any Duggar babies are named after either parent? Anyone name kids after an aunt or uncle?

Tumblr media
Werner von Alvensleben comes from a long line of German aristocrats. Yet far from enjoying a privileged and pampered existence, his life plays like a Hollywood adventure movie. Imprisoned in Zimbabwe during World War II, von Alvensleben escaped by digging underneath an electric fence in the rain and making his way by foot to Mozambique.
After founding the famous Safarilandia hunting company, he guided a list of hunting luminaries that included Jack O'Connor and Robert Ruark (who found out he could not bribe Werner!). Follow his career as he attacks a man-eating lion, kills a full-grown buffalo with a spear, and hunts for elephant and ivory in some of the densest brush in Africa. Adventure and experience were what counted to the man they call "Baron," not money or fame; indeed, in the end he left Mozambique with barely more than the clothes on his back.
