Although no photos have appeared, Kate tweeted she went with a friend to last night's Emmys. The same day, Kate also wrote in a blog post she wished she had more hours in the day to "spend more time playing and talking with my kids."
This is the internet, though. A VAST wasteland that makes it very (at times too) easy to to be anyone you want. On the flip side, it also makes it very difficult to take people at face value.
Don't be hurt prairiemary, be informed and safe. Don't put your personal info out there.
I remember one poster saying way too much unflattering info about her own mother and then has a DIRECT link to her blog. Better to be safe than sorry.
Take this post for what it's worth or don't. I don't care. I just don't want to see naive people hurt in the long run.
Pure speculation but I'm going to recycle it anyway.....suppose she's looking at properties? ***********************************************
Oh boy! Yeah I don't see that going well. I mean Kate would just love to up and move to a hotter spot to flaunt herself but she does have an ex-husband. If she did even look or think about it I see court battle in her future. Jon already fought like hell keep the kids from going to Au/Nz. People gave him hell for moving to NY in the begging. But the sheeple will give Kate a pass I'm quite sure.
Kate looking for properties in LA? Whatever for? Seriously. What for?
If she's got a new TV gig, I will personally go slap the person who gave it to her. (But I'll have to grift the cash to make the trip because I'm the poor mommy of several pets. You can send your contributions to this (Click here) payment account. Only multiples of $50's and $100's accepted.
Admin, I'm more likely to believe she's getting some minor "improvements" done - some leg lipo or a bit of a tuck to her face or body. You know, you can never be too thin or too vain.
hey jude said... Lake up north, Bearswife and I are going to Dwindles to visit, I forget why! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Great! just great! Thanks SO much for not inviting me along.What am l..chopped liver?! WAHHHHHHHHH...now l will HAVE to write Paul Mc and tell him how mean the girl he wrote the song about is. I don't care he's on his honeymoon. He HAS to know about this immediately! So there!
Ha ha ha it got cold eh. Too bad, l coulda brought blankets and you could have sat on my scooter...too late now...feelings are hurt and Paul is so mad at you Jude. Hahahaha lmbo. Lake...how about naming your little girl after me? How about...Teresa Jude bears dwindle as a first name?
one of my pet peeves about grammar is the misuse of 'there' and 'their'.... and Lake seems to misuse these two an awful lot for an educated nurse! That was what set off my radar about her posts right from the start... I would think an educated nurse would know the correct usage of 'there' and 'their' in sentence structure. And then the comment tonight about not being single really set the radar off for me.... but I really want to give people the benefit of the doubt but sometimes it's really hard!
If Kart is out in LA, she's probably grifting for Emmy freebies and a job. Unless she's going to pay cash for a house, I doubt she would be able to qualify for another mortgage without a job. What would she put on her mortgage application, unemployed reality show, mom of 8? I guess she could always use professional grifter as her occupation.
Is it just me or do I sense that ANONYMOUS is a guy from Maryland that most of us said we no longer trust? He always seems to pick apart every word and is like Chicken Little on hallucinogens. I personally liked Lakes tweets and saw no harm through her posts. Maybe the shit stirrer was 'jellus' someone else was getting attention? I'll drop it now.
I appreciate those that want to be more personal but I also come here to get my fix of witty comments and snark. I blow past the personal ones so it makes no difference to me, would rather see more clever posts about Kates Krap than personal health issues. To each his/her own really. It's not my blog and I enjoy having a place to come and vent and laugh. Thanks Admin and witty posters.
On topic of Kate: What an awesome-ish idea to spend those last few dollars, you know the ones that were reserved for the beach or gymnastics, on trecking across the country to try to get noticed at the Emmys. Great investment in those last few dollars she has. Lest we forget someone had to pay Steve to come with because she is so important-ish. Cry poverty all you want, just do it behind closed doors. The public is not buying it anymore. Neither are the paps or any media for that matter. When will Kate realize her irrelevance? When she spent every last cent? It's been only ONE, count 'em, ONE week since her last episode and she already is so far off the radar. Way ahead of predicted schedule! Even us 'Haters' gave her more of a time frame for her relevance to fade. She has only 5 or 6 tweety fans left and she dissed them already. Milo and Iwannas twitter party was a major fail with Kate saying "I'm wayyy too busy-ish for you guys, even though I claim I can multi-task and tweet faster than anyone in the world no matter what I'm doing." She will be less than her 'mediocre' fans in just a few short days, begging for anyone to listen to her. Words of wisdom to Kate: When crossing over a bridge, make sure to not leak gasoline on the bridge while carrying a lit cigarette..... as SuperCrappyPie and her not-so-secret lover Elv-ish would say, "Just sayin'"
Where the heck were you last night when I needed a ride? Now you come on and act all madd-ish! Don't you dare call Paul or I will get Ratclaws to harass you, so there. Nothing went right last night,but I am glad you finally came back.It was no fun at all, you'll see.
Kate might have gone to the Emmy's last night; I suppose that's where you were, LOL! Love your name for Lake's baby! Hey jude is way better, IMO! Gotta go to bed, ttyt.
Speaking of expired organic cereal, does anyone know if Brownlow ever got the cereal to Kate? If she didn't maybe she could sell them as ready made science experiments for kids.
==================
I haven't read anything, Audible. If she had delivered it or had it picked up by the Ice Queen herself, wouldn't we have heard all about it -- in code -- on Twitter? I don't think Brownie is one who could keep that private!
==============
I agree--I think she still has the cereal. There's been no mention of a meet up, and I second that Brownlow wouldn't be able to keep it to herself. With the website email announcement, Brownlow said to Kate that maybe email would be the way to communicate. (Hint, hint.) It seems like Kate is keeping her distance a bit. I get the impression that Brownlow knows now that she's stuck with the cereal. She does greet Kate every morning--just reminding her she's still waiting, maybe?
I think she bought it the Friday before Labor Day--I remember the holiday being a hurdle--so it's been 2 1/2 weeks.
still a little skeptical said... And then the comment tonight about not being single really set the radar off for me.... =============================================== That post red-flagged her for me as well.
I know this all happened yesterday, but I was busy doing family things.
I am kind of shocked. I know people have been burnt before by internet hoaxes & such, but Lake & I have been emailing back & forth for sometime now. She is sweet & friendly & from what I can see, NOT a scam artist.
Why is there so little trust in the world? It's not like she's coming here asking anyone for anything. What the hell is the difference? It is tragic what has happened to Lake, losing a husband so young. Maybe we can give her the benefit of the doubt???
I know she can speak on her own accord, but because her & I have been chatting, I figured I would jump in. Thank you for listening. ~Hippie Chick~
I don't want to know your life problems ie: how many kids you have, how your husband 'died', the # of dr. appt's you have, the suffering you go thru with undiagnosed 'chronic pain' and loss of bladder function.
If I wanted to read about others' problems, I'd seek a blog that focussed on these issues. I don't so maybe I'm not a good fit here anymore. We'll see. --------------------------------------------- Maybe not. We all share here. Is that not ok anymore? Is this STRICTLY about Kate Kate Kate all the damn time?
I agree said.... I remember one poster saying way too much unflattering info about her own mother and then has a DIRECT link to her blog. Better to be safe than sorry. --------------------------- We were ALL talking about our moms. If all of you are going to come down on me, then maybe I'll effing go.
Putting chronic pain is parentheses is really good. Nice touch. If Admin wanted us to stop talking about these life problems, she would have asked us by now. But just because you both said so, & so eloquently I may add, I'll make sure it's ALL Kate, All GOSSELIN, all the damn time. Is that better? ~Hippie Chick~
kate is probably in LA getting a tune up on the face. if she buys property in LA then she has way more $$ stashed than she is letting on (which i believe) also she will have to retract her statements that she wants to be on tv so the kids keep their house and stay in their school. doesn't matter though. it would be lie #94858584983903 and the sheeple would't get it. i can see it now. oooh kate ur so lucky the kids will love growing up in LA! can i come visit! tweet me back!!!!
my bf brought home people magazine to antagonize me. did anyone read that piece of garbage? to punish him i read parts aloud to him so he can see why she irks me so bad.
the kids are worried no more trips. tv is exciting and i want to stay on it. we weren't prepared for cancellation. yada yada yada
does anyone know how that magazine did in sales? everywhere i looked there were full racks.
sorry, i know this is last weeks news but bf just teased me with it today. i found kate's whining and groveling embarrassing. she really has no shame in how she puts things out there.
I'm not a part of the Lake story, but I specifically read that she hates when a form doesn't have a spot for widowed, because she is a widow, not a single woman who irresponsibly popped out a bunch of kids.
I would be put off, too, if I were widowed, to have to check a box saying I'm single instead of widowed. Kate is a divorced mother, Lake is a widowed mother, and as an ALMOST, at one time, widowed mother, I am blessed beyond words that I am a married mother.
Words MEAN something.
Saying no baby was an answer to some false labor, as in no baby yet.
Until Lake asks for handouts, I find her posts interesting and harmless.
I understand Admins caution about getting caught up in stories by anonymous people, but for others to keep jumping down Lakes throat without knowing who or what she's responding to is unkind.
I'm personally not interested in all the Beatle's stuff, or the pretend get-togethers, so I scroll past it. No need to jump down everyone's throats because the Kate news is slowing down. I'm rejoicing that she's drifting into oblivion.
Oh, and regarding MKBrownlow, or Brownnoser, she is now claiming she met Kate several times. I sincerely doubt that, but let her live in her fantasy world. I would never, I mean NEVER, let her mentor my daughter. She is PATHETIC!
I am kind of shocked. I know people have been burnt before by internet hoaxes & such, but Lake & I have been emailing back & forth for sometime now. She is sweet & friendly & from what I can see, NOT a scam artist.
****************************************
While we appreciate your trusting nature, Hippie - it truly is a good thing to have an open heart - it's always best to approach life with a healthy dose of skepticism when you don't have 100% proof of something, especially on the internet.
A few things have stuck out since the beginning. First of all, Lake is the exact opposite or better than Kate in every single way - she has more kids, she is selfless, she is "single", she has a nursing job and works long shifts, she never complains, etc. etc. etc.....
Here's the problem. There really aren't that many people with young children that post here on a regular basis. Why not?? They have no time. When my four children were very young, I worked 20 - 30 hours a week, depending on the week, outside the home, took care of our home myself, cleaning, cooking, canning, and the like... I played with my kids. I read to them a lot and took them to the library every week when they were little. I encouraged them to have friends over a lot. I did all the laundry. I was pretty active in the church and very involved in their school. I drove to sports and music practices, games, recitals... My husband did vacuum occasionally (he really loves to vacuum), but he's never been a real hands on kind of guy around the house. He did take care of the yard.. If I had a minute to sit down, I would often fall asleep. LOL I sure as heck did not have time to surf the net or even get interested in a tv series. The only reading I had time for until they got bigger was the Bible, which I depended on for strength....
I think most of us here can say with complete certainty that if we were recently widowed, had 10 children 15 and under, and were very pregnant with another, while working long 12 hour shifts nursing of all things, we would have neither the time nor the energy nor the inclination to post prolifically on a blog about Kate Gosselin. In fact, I would think we'd be hospitalized by now.
The anniversary crap was also a red flag. You just laid it on a little too thick.
Also, Admin finding her IP was "private" should send up another red flag...
So Lake, if your intention was to prove a point to Kate, kudos, but you went over the top on this. If it was to pull a fast one on us... you didn't. Either way, kudos for such an elaborate hoax, but next time, if you try this again, remember that the more you say, the more likely you will be to shoot yourself in the foot.
I love how Admin plays by her own rules. She makes them, then abides by them, unlike the sheeple sites. She really has a knack for knowing when to let things go and when to put a stop to them. I know I wouldn't be so fair. Thanks, Admin.
nice post catherine. where did u see that brownnose said she met kate? was this on website or twitter? i'm guessing if she did meet her it was at a book signing long ago. the way mk carries on sucking up to kate i think if they met she would constantly be sending tweets saying - "yesterday was so fun kate (wink,wink)" ect. i'm sure there would be pics on her blog too. :0)
i know it's weird and makes me seem stalker-ish but i am amused to no end the saga of the cereal and the constant brown-nosing. maybe it's because i don't have twitter but the whole thing is interesting to see the mentality of people.
regarding kate's tweets. i notice she gets a flavor of the week that she tweets to. this week it is miloandjack..has anyone noticed that? she starts tweeting a lot to one person and the rest get jealous. i think she wants to see how far people will go to get her attention. gifts from paris soon? gift cards...cash. lol
i'm sure the email thing is a nightmare. 100's of sheep bleating for a personal response.
regarding the website..don't think any "stephanie" wrote the email to kate. i'm sure it was her PR agent. for some reason i think anyone who writes to kate would want full name credit- first and last. they strike me as those kind of people. will now tweeties get jealous if THEIR love letters to kate don't get posted?
as as far as the questions to kate. why just questions..how about a 1st name of who asked the question? of all the questions that i'm sure people actually have.... really?? she had to go there and only post vanity ones that she herself made up. it's so awful it's funny.
any ya kate. epilepsy is a tough blow. what do u and 56000 plan do do to help? GAWD
tough blow... this nurse has no clue. also..why would a person twitter to kate the bad news? as if kate give's a shit. she can't even relate. kate has never had a "tough blow" yet SHE is the one crying how hard life is.
people watched shows about large families to see how it was all done. sure it's mundane but people wanted to see it. no one wants to see a pampered mom with fake boobs running from vacation to vacation while claiming life is so hard. had the show stuck to the original format it could have limped by another few years. if kate was wowing others with her craft tips, cleaning tips and recipes (while actually doing and showing it)it could have led to much more. she really threw her brand in the trash didn't she? no wonder TLC is pissed.
still baffled why kate thinks she deserves talk show. what can she possibly contribute to a conversation? she has no empathy..no education..no flair..no interviewing skills. if anyone hires her to be on a talk show i would just gag. it would be so undeserved.
Thanks Em, Brownlow said on twitter that she has met up with Kate a few, or several, times. I don't care enough to check her twitter feed. It's way way too cloying and sappy for my tastes.
I'm not saying I buy or don't buy Lake's story. I just don't understand all the attacking. Not liking to be called a single mother instead of a widow is not a red flag, and answering "no baby", and not writing YET is not one either. When she asks for money from strangers, a la Kate, I'll be the first in line to say that is not cool.
It's Admin's blog and she makes the rules. I respect her for telling everyone to be cautious. I would do the same.
The Z-List media is only printing a few recycled stories about Kate whining about money, her twitter is dying down, her website is a disaster and if she did go to the Emmy's for some narcissistic supply, it was an EPIC FAIL.
We should be rejoicing, not sniping in a circle.
Hippie Chick, I totally understand that you've been on here a lot, and felt comfortable sharing some of your personal life. It was all in context to Kate's whining. I have an autoimmune disease that keeps me down a lot. That's why I have time to follow this saga when I'm sure no one in my family gives a s$%# about Kate Gosselin and most probably don't know who she even is.
Oh, and I lost both of my parents and a stillborn baby in the last couple of years.
So I shared a bit. Someone come attack me. Have at it. You trolls are a cruel bunch.
I don't get how me talking about my mom & then leaving a link to my site makes me look weird. My mom doesn't know I read here. And because she is just oh so great, she doesn't read my blog. I could write on my blog that my mom is a racist pig with cankles & ass hair, she would never see it. I don't even bother talking about my blog anymore with her. She just says "Eh, you know I'm not into that stuff". She is just not supportive.
*I think it sucks so many people have ruined it for so many more. People not being trustworthy, lying to make people feel sorry, etc. It's really broken a lot of trust. I know it's hard being on the internet & all, you just don't know who you're talking too, but it's too bad. But we DO know Lake reads here. Let's take her feelings into consideration. Thank you. ~Hippie Chick~
I have no problem with people sharing snippets of their lives which a lot of people have done over the years. But what has also happened is because I feel I've come to know a lot of you, I'm protective of you. And I think a lot of other folks feel the same about the group. Look at what happens when a sheeple comes here calling everyone stupid, people usually jump right on them.
I think when someone brand new, out of the blue, was going beyond sharing snippets and sharing very long and detailed stories about a life polar opposite from Kate's, it just sounded all too familiar--as in, catfish in the past have done the same thing and suckered a lot of good people. It set off red flags something might be off.
It certainly could have been someone who liked to share and I certainly wish them the best if so, but....we just can't know and it's probably best that we be cautious. Not asking anyone to be mean, or cruel, just cautious.
It wasn't meant to be an "attack" on this person, but was rather concern for the people who have been here a lot longer and I firmly believe are GOOD people.
Just please don't see a sense of protection for the good people here as an attack on anyone. It's pretty hard to say to someone you might be a fake, while still being respectful to them and their story--I sense people have tried hard to do just that.
I certainly wasn't accusing you of attacking anyone. As I stated, I have a lot of respect for you cautioning everyone. But there are a few snipers on here who just like to hit and run. Those are the people I was addressing, not you. Attacking Hippie Chick was the last straw for me.
I was under the impression that Lake was not a regular, but someone who had posted several times in the past. I'm not saying I buy the story, but I have a few kids, I was "almost" widowed (cancer), and since she claims to be due next month, I'm sure she would now be at the point where she has to stay off her feet more than before. The last month is brutal on the legs.
Being a widow doesn't mean one is poor and working until the last second. So if she's a pregnant woman staying off her feet for a few weeks, more power to her. If, God forbid, something happened to my husband, his life insurance and Social Security benefits would be substantial, but I would still have to be careful. It's scary being alone in this world with a lot of kids to raise. (And I am NOT referring to M$. MoneyBag$ Katie Kreider)
Thanks Admin. As the other sites fall by the wayside, this is the best one out there, and it keeps getting better. I hope you let us know when your book comes out. My daughter is nuts about books and especially anything to do with the Civil War and historical fiction. She actually aspires to do the same one day.
sorry for typos..14 lbs cat keeps plopping on my keyboard (hence why i rarely use capitals) cat is alway on my hand when i type, flopping on keyboard, rubbing face on screen ect. but i love her and cant push her away :0)
++++++
Laughing as I type this. Right now mine is trying to eat the corner of my laptop screen, knocking my hand away from the keyboard. You gotta love them!
I certainly didn't mean to make feel people feel badly about personal stories on this blog. I think our personal experiences are what form a common bond on here. Most of us have experienced what it's like to be in the life of a narcissist and have been hurt by it in one way or another. I'm no exception to that. I think it's important that we can share at least a small part of our story. That's why Kate Gosselin is so relevant (unfortunately). She reminds us of some of our worst memories.
I don't know if any of you read the sheeple blogs. I do. They're boring, but if you've read them, you know that one of the things they love to do is make fun of us over here for sharing painful stories. That's what leads me to be very very skeptical about someone coming here with such a story. It seems to me that he/she is trying to play us. I could be wrong. If so, I'm very sorry. I don't think so, though. Part of my job for years and years is to get to the bottom of things and find out what people are really saying, so I've had a lot of experiences in spotting lies, and this person just seems too over the top opposite of and a better person than Kate.
It's actually a pretty impressive acting job, if I'm right. Sheeple aren't necessarily dumb, just blinded, which makes them look kind of dumb. (Sorry, sheeple.)
Just be wary and protect yourselves. Don't share enough that you can be identified in real life. Don't get too comfortable. People like Admin really put themselves out there for us, and they should be commended for doing so.
Me, I'm a chicken, so for today I shall remain....
New post up about Kate's ticket.............look at the timing of Kate's ticket! Thanks to your comments I went back and read them around about the same time Kate was being pulled over and discovered what she had JUST BEEN THROUGH hours before the ticket.....check out the post.
" took a bullet said... Just checked Kate's website. There is nothing new there today for those of you who like to keep updated and don't wish to leave hits on her blog. September 20, 2011 7:54 AM" -------------- WHAT? NO Monday menu??? Many were waiting for that! I guess those kids didn't a packed lunch, since they didn't get the list. sigh
Anonymous, I don't know which anonymous I am referring to, but someone surely did try to make Hippie Chick feel bad about sharing some personal pain. Chronic illness is a bitch. It can suck the life out of you. To see Katie Kreider whine and bitch about such trivial thing makes me fume.
Being a lonely widow is a bitch, too, I would imagine.
If the sheeple get off on planting stories here, well shame on them. I avoid them at all costs. I guess it's a stretch to expect the same in return.
I read recently that alcoholism is on the rise anomg older women; it's almost an epidemic. I'm going to guess we're dealing with some bitter, drunk hags coming on here for some fun. I can't imagine any decent person attaking Hippie Chick like that.
From this point on, when I read stuff like that I will "consider the source and move on" with no "sediments" to Katie Kreider for using her line.

Kate caught speeding on 222
Reality television mom Kate Gosselin was caught driving 88 mph in Brecknock Township last month, according to a traffic court document. State police at Ephrata used radar to catch the former "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star speeding on Route 222 North near Route 897, according to a traffic docket filed at District Judge Rodney Hartman's office. It happened on August 9 at 1:37 a.m. In the remarks on the traffic citation, police reported that Gosselin said she was speeding because she was trying to get home to her kids. Gosselin, who lives in Sinking Spring, Berks County, mailed in her guilty plea and paid a $174 fine, Hartman said.
End of article
She was rushing home to her kids -- were they waiting up? Doesn't every mom want to get home to their kids when they have been away from them but don't drive 88 mph in a 55 to do it?!
Also, Admin finding her IP was "private" should send up another red flag...
==========
I am sheeple-ish (dumb) about how the IP thing works, and only know that each computer is "marked" with an IP. How does an IP address come back as "private?" Can IPs be disguised?
I have to agree with Anonymous. The anniversary thing was just a bit strange. Could it be true? Yes, but what are the chances of that happening? When I first read that story, my gut reaction was...hmmmm...something doesn't sound quite right.
Can't say for a fact...just know alot about the subject...almost impossibe to get pregnant at 47/48. Odds are too high to even estimate. She had one pregnancy and with multiples yet. No eggs left, and whatever is left are not viable. Maybe if you are a Dugger. The more pregnancies the better your chance to concieve at that age. That's what these entertainers want you to believe. That by some miracle they get pregnant in their late 40's. Odds are 1 in millions. And add in the "multiple" factor=no chance. Pretty confident in saying they were donor eggs. I would love to hear one of them admit it for once
Catherine, I agree. I have an issue with chronic pain, too, and some days it's just very difficult to concentrate on work or anything else. Coming here is one of the things that keeps me distracted from the pain. I was not the one who attacked Hippie Chick, though I did warn her to be skeptical.
If, the "stah", did make her way to the Emmy awards, this should tell her fans that the woman does not put her kids in first place in her life. Stop reading, watching, tweeting, e-mailing, and sending "love offering" gifts to this woman. Starving kids all over the world need your money. Not, Kate and her eight. I would guess that they could live comfortably off the interest alone from the money she has stashed! Do not be fooled.
If Kate were to ever look for homes in LA she would be in total sticker shock. She'd only be able to afford a small 3 bedroom house, no extra rooms for not a nanny's. She doesn't have enough equity to sell the PA home - she down under there. Jon would never agree to letting his kids move cross country. What judge would allow it - for a job that she wouldn't last in for more than a few months? It would be different if she was a professional as in an educated dr. or corporate exec with an established career. If she was at the Emmy's she was either hiding or no one cares, even all her buddies as ET and AH. There was not one mention of her on any gossip show last night. (They are usually on while I'm doing dishes at night.)
On another note - I came across this post on Rene's site that sums it up greatly what a lot of us may think, but this says it perfectly.
It is a pity that no one has been able to get it through to her that she can’t have it both ways, the kids are NOT working, just happen to be on camera in the course of their everyday lives BUT SHE IS WORKING, has a career that she is NOW going to further in the entertainment field BUT SHE is NOT acting, SHE IS being herself BUT the cameras are portraying her as a bitch. You would think she would have shown pity for the kids when they were seasick as the way she ‘spins’ the truth and her words, she MUST feel seasick half the time.
She MAY NOT have needed talent for her ‘self-being’ on camera BUT for anything else in ‘show bidness’ talent is a requirement. She cannot act, speak properly, shows no emotion (dead eyes), memorize lines (can’t keep track of her OWN lies), carry on an intelligent conversation, has no poise, poor posture, walks like a cow and name one other person on camera who is EVER, let alone consistently, caught chomping on a wad of gum. And as far as her trying to get her kids into show business, the twins were already turned down several years ago when they were the younger, cuter age, and now NONE of the kids have the ‘look’, ‘personality’, or ‘talent’ to even consider them getting into show business. Talent agents aren’t looking for the ‘gosselin kid-type’ for any upcoming show premises. For pete’s sake, they didn’t even make it on their OWN show.
Someone hit her upside the head with a gold-plated two by four and tell her she’s done, through, over, finished…
Katie Mediocrerest (Formerly Dearest) said... To add to this Emmy-gate, who paid for the trip and hotel expense, gowns, jewelry, etc.? Surely not a freebie
Oh, you know she had to pay for everything herself! She is not a big enough name to warrant a free trip to the Emmys. Obviously nobody wanted her there. So, she would have had to pay for the dress, having hair and makeup done, shoes, airfare, Emmys ticket, hotel, plus Steve's $1600 per day, his ticket, tux, etc (she tweeted Monday night that she couldn't join the Tweeting party--too much to do. Probably just got home and wa unpacking). So, did she spring for a hotel room for Steve, or did he just share hers? I know her manager didn't foot the bill for everything, because managers are in business to MAKE money, not blow it all on some has-been. And yet she can't afford organic milk for the kids, and had to buy chickens cause she can't afford eggs for them. They eat old, moldy sandwiches and expired (donated) organic cereal while she flies off to the Emmys. Some prioriies! Here's an idea...maybe she is making all these trips (NYC< Emmys) to see Steve.She has to have some excuse for having him around, his wife will get suspicious if she's having him sit around the house with her all day. So, she comes up with all these "appearances" so he can be with her. So, I'm counting...on Monday the 12th she was in NYC, then Wed in NYC to get her hair done, then Sunday in LA. That's only 4 days that week she was at home! And I heard she was shopping for dresses on Saturday (without kids). Now that they're not supporting her, they just don't matter to her, do they? Now she's stuck paying "the kids' bills". So sad.

I didn't pick up today's paper yet. LNC News actually published this? That's a first! What in the heck was she doing on 222 in the early morning hours? She would have been coming from Lancaster or E-town (maybe visiting her family?!!) or had just gotten off the turnpike and was headed home on 222. The location would be about right.
I guess the rushing home to her kids thing didn't work this time! It would have been interesting if the arresting officer had asked her why her kids were awake at 1:30 a.m.! Was there an emergency?
article is on the back page of the paper -- after end of article was my comments - they didn't put in the part after end of article -- Lady Gaga was at the Log Cabin on Thursday for dinner - evidentally she is dating someone that went to Lancaster Mennonite -- no bodyguards, no entourage
That same day, she had appeared on Joy Behar. I think she probably flew home, leaving her car at the airport maybe ? Then was driving home. I can't see HER driving to NYC alone or even with Steve. But who knows.
No Regrets said... On another subject, I am SO tired of getting emails from President Obama. You would think he had more to do than email me. ha!
Kat? Who said she used donor eggs? I never heard that one.

JUDY I AM JEALOUS, he didn't send ME that one. YOU must be the fav! LOL
regarding Lake. i have felt a bit hinky before on a post or 2 but i just carry on. i take everything i read on the net with a grain of salt, but that's just me. personally, if Lake continues to share (i doubt she will after reading these comments) i would like to read about an average day. what is the routine and how it all gets done.
if her story is true then i can 100% see why kate gosselin would make her want to take the time to post and vent. if i had 11 kids and truly worked my ass off i would be so nauseous seeing someone receive so many accolades for doing absolutely nothing. anyway..regardless of Lake's story, i do agree with her kate snark and comments so i will continue to read her posts. i love reading posts that make a point and if it takes a personal story to compare to make that point i'm good with it. personally i get bored with the nonsense chatter about nothing but i just skim over that. that's the beauty of blogs. read what you want. ignore what bores you.
i have a mere 2 kids and i get ridiculously appalled by how much kate has been given and how little she gives back. i surprise myself at time how often i check here to get kate info. i don't know why, but she is someone you love to snark on. i have never felt "celebrity hate" for anyone. even the vapid reality stars. i just never cared. something about kate tho sets me off. it's the constant lying!!! i really never lie so it stuns me to see someone lie so easily and be such an all around awful person while having sheeple lap it up and ignore all the inconsistancies.
can one sheeple please just tell me what rates kate so worthy of accolades? and don't say because she is real,honest and shows her flaws. we have PROVEN that all to be total bs. i would never stand behind someone blindly without doing a little research while outright ignoring FACT and passing it off as "hate"
as a SINGLE mom of 2 (never a dime of child support or one day of visitation) it stuns me that kate as a mom of EIGHT has more free time, more help, more money and more freebies than i could ever dream of yet sheeple claim she deserves MORE me time, MORE freebies, MORE money, MORE help. mind blowing. do they really feel kate deserves all this because she had 8 kids? are kate's kids more deserving than sheeple kids? where do sheeple get that kate is organized? because TLC branded her and said so? what have you SEEN people - not what you have been told by kate?
kate.. you DID NOT WORK HARD FOR 6 YEARS TO PROVIDE FOR YOU KIDS. you did nothing. you took a bunch of free shit and exploited your kids. they have paid their own way. you have done nothing! i see you as severely lacking in parenting skills, organizational skills, basic human interaction skills, life skills AND i find you to be lazy, mean, self centered, naricissictic, greedy and a grifter.
anyway..i believe this for one who much is given..much is expected
this is why people take time to post about kate - even if they have hectic lives. they want to see karma. they bust their asses all day and watch a pig be handed life on a golden palate. its a great place to vent so you can move on, purge the feeling of ick after seeing her or reading about her and then be free to enjoy the day. kate drives you crazy with her sob stories and gimme more attitude. she has been and always will be a sham. she would truly not know what to do if a REAL problem was thrown her way.
Just had a thought - the last time Kate was in NY she was dress shopping for something sparkly. So the "last minute invite to the Emmys" is another lie?
donnamorgan_nycDonna Morgan Tweeted... Just had @Kateplusmy8 in our showroom and she looked fantastic in everything.. especially our sequins! Come back soon! xo
prairiemary said... Gee,I am very sorry, for telling any of you about my sadness over things I have suffered in my life. I just thought it was nice to 'get to know'some things about the people I posted with on here. I will never say anything ever again. Sometimes, for some of us, it is easier to say stuff to people that don't know you, rather than people who you do know.I apologize,I did not know the proper blog rules
I also want to apologize for sharing the story of the loss of my baby girl. It was not a ploy for sympathy, it was sharing womething in my life that makes me enraged at people who do not appreciate what they have in their own children (namely, Kate!). I agree that it is sometimes easier to share your story with strangers. People who hear your story always want details, and details are hard to supply without breaking down. When I had two sons in a row, and people asked me if we were going to keep "trying for that girl", I usually just smiled and replied that we're happy with our boys. I sometimes felt like I was denying her, but if I said I had lost a daughter, then people want details. And details are hard to give.
This is just a thought. Maybe DWTS paid for her trip to and from L.A. to be on the first two DWTS shows Monday and Tuesday and she just went 1 day early to go to the Emmy's. I'm assuming DWTS would pay for her hotel room. They did have alot of the past celebs in the audience last night but I could not see Kate. That's not saying she wasn't here. I just can't see Kate paying for anythig like that by herself. I'm sure she's going to hit up the freebies from DWTS tho,if the past celebs still get those. Why she goes is another story. I'm sure no one was happy to see her.
done feel bad layla. i think the majority enjoy getting to know people's stories. it explains why they feel such disdain for kate. someone who has been thru hard times is mystified how kate can actually try to sell a hard luck story. i think people's personal experiences are the core of why they want to snark on kate. it's ok to share, to vent and be human. your story relates to WHY to fee as you do. it's hard not to share a reason why you feel the way you do about a situation. it just comes out. i dont think as i post. i just let the words flow. they make sense to me. if someone doesnt want to read it they can skip my post. it doesnt hurt my feelings.
no matter what you feel i thought it was rude to use the words - how someone "died" or "chronic pain" so coldly. people here have feelings and to have their lives dimsished to a catch phrase must be hurtful. people share because there is a human want to bond and share life experiences. especially since we are disecting someone else's (kate's) life experience. it tells where you are coming from in your views.
personally its hard for me to see Lake as a sheeple in disguise because her disdain for kate comes thru loud and clear. she may or may not be who she says she is. none of us may be...but it's still something she chose to share and although i respect the comments to use caution and i agree...i dont feel offended by her posts, or anyone else's who chose to share their lives. i feel its just important to use catuion not to tell to much to the point that you cant be tracked or googled. its safer to be anonymous on the net in this day and age.
Pure speculation but I'm going to recycle it anyway.....suppose she's looking at properties?
I read somewhere that she was looking at properties in LA when she did Dancing With the Stars. My thought at the time was that CA possibly had lenient child labor laws, and she could work the kids even harder out there, and make more money off them. But that didn't work out. Now, of course, she may be getting s clue that she isn't wanted without the kids, so she could be looking for opportunities for her to use them for a paycheck again. And besides, all the paps live in LA, so maybe she thinks they will pay more attention to her if she is in their midst. Seriously, how many paparazzi are there in Wernersville? Word of caution to Kate--Jon will never allow you to take the kids out of state. Yes, we know you don't agree that the parent who spends less time with them should have any say in their care (He's only, you know, their FATHER), but judges tend to look at it differently. And let's say you spend a load of money and get permission from the courts to take the kids away (not likely), then you would have to find a property in LA that you could afford since you're, you know,um, unemployed. And don't count on getting much money for the house in Wernersville, because there aren't many people in the area who are able/willing to put up large sums of money for a property like that in this economy.
On a lighter note, didn't Tony look happy dancing with Chynna Phillips last night? In the clips from practices, she just seemed so easy-going and non-diva-ish. He sooo deserves a partner like her.
Thank you for understanding. There seems to be a lot of doubt/picking apart others lately, and I kind of see where Lake is coming fom. When I'd get the "Are you going to try for a girl?" comment, and I didn't say I had already had a girl--it wasn't a ploy to decieve anyone, it was just a situation that was so raw and painful for me, just wasn't up to sharing it with someone. It is easier to just smile and put someone off with the "easy" answer because otherwise you'd spend all your time crying over your loss. And when you have other little miracles to take care of, you need to be strong and push forward. So, if the "easy" answer is what gets you through the day, maybe that's best. Let's all be kind to one another and give one another a little trust and support. Happy faces for everyone!
I wasn't going to comment at all in this whole discussion. But I have to say this. DO NOT let one person's opinion get to you. I have enjoyed almost every single person's posts here. We ALL have shared some stories. SO WHAT? If one person doesn't like, well I am sorry, they can skip over them.
Do not even think of leaving here, or stop posting about what YOU want to post about. Admin has clearly said SHE doesn't mind it. So there you have it. For all we know it could be a sheep who is trying to stir something up.
Please, don't let this ruin this blog. I do enjoy what you guys post and these comments have been downright cruel. PLEASE don't take this to heart.
I had composed a long post and it just disappeared. sigh
I wasn't going to comment on this entire thing, it makes me VERY uncomfortable to 'talk' about someone on the blog. (I did have on exception, recently)
But to you TWO I do want to say this. BOTH your posts are very good, and I enjoy reading them. Don't you dare take ONE opinion and take it to heart. Admin said she did not mind relating personal stories so there you have it. For all we know some sheep may have snuck in here to stir up stuff. Just post as YOU see fit. If someone doesn't like it I am sorry for them. They can SKIP the post.
Please do not change. Do not let it ruin the blog.
Since there's a new post up I'll just make my one comment about Lake and then move on. Her story sounds like a new Jodi Picoult or Nicholas Sparks novel to me. An interesting work in progress but I don't know if I'll buy the book.
And don't count on getting much money for the house in Wernersville, because there aren't many people in the area who are able/willing to put up large sums of money for a property like that in this economy.
&&&&&
If you pull up the comps, and find out houses such as that, with acreage, are selling for $600,000 or so, then yes, there are people (execs, physicians with families) who are willing to pay that amount for that home. If she's looking to break even or make a profit, it will never happen.
May I tell you something? Each time I read one of your shared stories, I offer a prayer to God. I may not know the full story, but God certainly does. Sincere prayer is never wasted, even if offered for those who don't actually need it.
If this (annoying) Anonymous is using that name because he/she cannot get posts through with a real name, couldn't he/she sign a name at the end of the comment like others do? I really appreciate it when I know who's posting. Thanks a million; I LOVE this blog.
Awe...that's fine, I'm not going to miss the chocolate. I must be batting a thousand because I don't drink juice. I've never given my kids Juicy Juice either. But I do drink vodka, tequila, Margaritas, milk, Gatorade and beer so you have any of that around I'll take it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You drink alcohol?????
Did it slip you mind that you told us you are pregnant?
sorry for typos..14 lbs cat keeps plopping on my keyboard (hence why i rarely use capitals) cat is alway on my hand when i type, flopping on keyboard, rubbing face on screen ect. but i love her and cant push her away :0)

Laughing as I type this. Right now mine is trying to eat the corner of my laptop screen, knocking my hand away from the keyboard. You gotta love them!

Don't be hurt prairiemary, be informed and safe. Don't put your personal info out there.
I remember one poster saying way too much unflattering info about her own mother and then has a DIRECT link to her blog. Better to be safe than sorry.
Take this post for what it's worth or don't. I don't care. I just don't want to see naive people hurt in the long run.
It seems to me she is in LA, but she's so very quiet.
Pure speculation but I'm going to recycle it anyway.....suppose she's looking at properties?

Oh boy! Yeah I don't see that going well. I mean Kate would just love to up and move to a hotter spot to flaunt herself but she does have an ex-husband. If she did even look or think about it I see court battle in her future. Jon already fought like hell keep the kids from going to Au/Nz. People gave him hell for moving to NY in the begging. But the sheeple will give Kate a pass I'm quite sure.
Kate looking for properties in LA? Whatever for? Seriously. What for?
If she's got a new TV gig, I will personally go slap the person who gave it to her. (But I'll have to grift the cash to make the trip because I'm the poor mommy of several pets. You can send your contributions to this (Click here) payment account. Only multiples of $50's and $100's accepted.
8countem8,
No, bearswife never came back to pick me up, so we never got there. All of a sudden it got cold and uncomfortable, so we all went home.
Admin, I'm more likely to believe she's getting some minor "improvements" done - some leg lipo or a bit of a tuck to her face or body. You know, you can never be too thin or too vain.
hey jude said... Lake up north, Bearswife and I are going to Dwindles to visit, I forget why!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Great! just great! Thanks SO much for not inviting me along.What am l..chopped liver?! WAHHHHHHHHH...now l will HAVE to write Paul Mc and tell him how mean the girl he wrote the song about is. I don't care he's on his honeymoon. He HAS to know about this immediately! So there!
Ha ha ha it got cold eh. Too bad, l coulda brought blankets and you could have sat on my scooter...too late now...feelings are hurt and Paul is so mad at you Jude. Hahahaha lmbo.
Lake...how about naming your little girl after me? How about...Teresa Jude bears dwindle as a first name?
one of my pet peeves about grammar is the misuse of 'there' and 'their'.... and Lake seems to misuse these two an awful lot for an educated nurse! That was what set off my radar about her posts right from the start... I would think an educated nurse would know the correct usage of 'there' and 'their' in sentence structure. And then the comment tonight about not being single really set the radar off for me.... but I really want to give people the benefit of the doubt but sometimes it's really hard!
If Kart is out in LA, she's probably grifting for Emmy freebies and a job. Unless she's going to pay cash for a house, I doubt she would be able to qualify for another mortgage without a job. What would she put on her mortgage application, unemployed reality show, mom of 8? I guess she could always use professional grifter as her occupation.
Is it just me or do I sense that ANONYMOUS is a guy from Maryland that most of us said we no longer trust? He always seems to pick apart every word and is like Chicken Little on hallucinogens. I personally liked Lakes tweets and saw no harm through her posts. Maybe the shit stirrer was 'jellus' someone else was getting attention? I'll drop it now.
I appreciate those that want to be more personal but I also come here to get my fix of witty comments and snark. I blow past the personal ones so it makes no difference to me, would rather see more clever posts about Kates Krap than personal health issues. To each his/her own really. It's not my blog and I enjoy having a place to come and vent and laugh. Thanks Admin and witty posters.
On topic of Kate: What an awesome-ish idea to spend those last few dollars, you know the ones that were reserved for the beach or gymnastics, on trecking across the country to try to get noticed at the Emmys. Great investment in those last few dollars she has. Lest we forget someone had to pay Steve to come with because she is so important-ish. Cry poverty all you want, just do it behind closed doors. The public is not buying it anymore. Neither are the paps or any media for that matter. When will Kate realize her irrelevance? When she spent every last cent? It's been only ONE, count 'em, ONE week since her last episode and she already is so far off the radar. Way ahead of predicted schedule! Even us 'Haters' gave her more of a time frame for her relevance to fade. She has only 5 or 6 tweety fans left and she dissed them already. Milo and Iwannas twitter party was a major fail with Kate saying "I'm wayyy too busy-ish for you guys, even though I claim I can multi-task and tweet faster than anyone in the world no matter what I'm doing."
She will be less than her 'mediocre' fans in just a few short days, begging for anyone to listen to her.
Words of wisdom to Kate: When crossing over a bridge, make sure to not leak gasoline on the bridge while carrying a lit cigarette..... as SuperCrappyPie and her not-so-secret lover Elv-ish would say, "Just sayin'"
Teresa,
Where the heck were you last night when I needed a ride? Now you come on and act all madd-ish! Don't you dare call Paul or I will get Ratclaws to harass you, so there. Nothing went right last night,but I am glad you finally came back.It was no fun at all, you'll see.
Kate might have gone to the Emmy's last night; I suppose that's where you were, LOL! Love your name for Lake's baby! Hey jude is way better, IMO! Gotta go to bed, ttyt.
Watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show last night. Tim Curry can walk in heels, baby!!
Kate may wanna take some lessons from Frank N. Furter.

Warmth Of The Sun said... Audible Click said...
Speaking of expired organic cereal, does anyone know if Brownlow ever got the cereal to Kate? If she didn't maybe she could sell them as ready made science experiments for kids.
==================
I haven't read anything, Audible. If she had delivered it or had it picked up by the Ice Queen herself, wouldn't we have heard all about it -- in code -- on Twitter? I don't think Brownie is one who could keep that private!
==============
I agree--I think she still has the cereal. There's been no mention of a meet up, and I second that Brownlow wouldn't be able to keep it to herself. With the website email announcement, Brownlow said to Kate that maybe email would be the way to communicate. (Hint, hint.) It seems like Kate is keeping her distance a bit. I get the impression that Brownlow knows now that she's stuck with the cereal. She does greet Kate every morning--just reminding her she's still waiting, maybe?
I think she bought it the Friday before Labor Day--I remember the holiday being a hurdle--so it's been 2 1/2 weeks.
These guys really know Kate. This is hilarious.

And then the comment tonight about not being single really set the radar off for me....
===============================================
That post red-flagged her for me as well.
I know this all happened yesterday, but I was busy doing family things.
I am kind of shocked. I know people have been burnt before by internet hoaxes & such, but Lake & I have been emailing back & forth for sometime now. She is sweet & friendly & from what I can see, NOT a scam artist.
Why is there so little trust in the world? It's not like she's coming here asking anyone for anything. What the hell is the difference? It is tragic what has happened to Lake, losing a husband so young. Maybe we can give her the benefit of the doubt???
I know she can speak on her own accord, but because her & I have been chatting, I figured I would jump in. Thank you for listening.
~Hippie Chick~
I don't want to know your life problems ie: how many kids you have, how your husband 'died', the # of dr. appt's you have, the suffering you go thru with undiagnosed 'chronic pain' and loss of bladder function.
If I wanted to read about others' problems, I'd seek a blog that focussed on these issues. I don't so maybe I'm not a good fit here anymore. We'll see.
---------------------------------------------
Maybe not. We all share here. Is that not ok anymore? Is this STRICTLY about Kate Kate Kate all the damn time?
I agree said....
I remember one poster saying way too much unflattering info about her own mother and then has a DIRECT link to her blog. Better to be safe than sorry.
---------------------------
We were ALL talking about our moms. If all of you are going to come down on me, then maybe I'll effing go.
Putting chronic pain is parentheses is really good. Nice touch. If Admin wanted us to stop talking about these life problems, she would have asked us by now. But just because you both said so, & so eloquently I may add, I'll make sure it's ALL Kate, All GOSSELIN, all the damn time. Is that better?
~Hippie Chick~
kate is probably in LA getting a tune up on the face. if she buys property in LA then she has way more $$ stashed than she is letting on (which i believe)
also she will have to retract her statements that she wants to be on tv so the kids keep their house and stay in their school. doesn't matter though. it would be lie #94858584983903 and the sheeple would't get it. i can see it now.
oooh kate ur so lucky the kids will love growing up in LA! can i come visit! tweet me back!!!!
my bf brought home people magazine to antagonize me. did anyone read that piece of garbage? to punish him i read parts aloud to him so he can see why she irks me so bad.
the kids are worried no more trips. tv is exciting and i want to stay on it. we weren't prepared for cancellation. yada yada yada
does anyone know how that magazine did in sales? everywhere i looked there were full racks.
sorry, i know this is last weeks news but bf just teased me with it today. i found kate's whining and groveling embarrassing. she really has no shame in how she puts things out there.

Maybe Kate should take a lesson from Lady Gaga. She was recently in Lancaster County & no one knew who she was... no muss...no fuss.
Per lancasteronline "
There were no bodyguards, no entourage, nothing of what you might expect from a star who has filmed a video with Beyoncé, has her own community website called Gagapedia and was named Artist of the Year last year by Billboard.
In fact, the staffs didn't really figure out what had happened until later."

I'm not a part of the Lake story, but I specifically read that she hates when a form doesn't have a spot for widowed, because she is a widow, not a single woman who irresponsibly popped out a bunch of kids.
I would be put off, too, if I were widowed, to have to check a box saying I'm single instead of widowed. Kate is a divorced mother, Lake is a widowed mother, and as an ALMOST, at one time, widowed mother, I am blessed beyond words that I am a married mother.
Words MEAN something.
Saying no baby was an answer to some false labor, as in no baby yet.
Until Lake asks for handouts, I find her posts interesting and harmless.
I understand Admins caution about getting caught up in stories by anonymous people, but for others to keep jumping down Lakes throat without knowing who or what she's responding to is unkind.
I'm personally not interested in all the Beatle's stuff, or the pretend get-togethers, so I scroll past it. No need to jump down everyone's throats because the Kate news is slowing down. I'm rejoicing that she's drifting into oblivion.
Oh, and regarding MKBrownlow, or Brownnoser, she is now claiming she met Kate several times. I sincerely doubt that, but let her live in her fantasy world. I would never, I mean NEVER, let her mentor my daughter. She is PATHETIC!
I am kind of shocked. I know people have been burnt before by internet hoaxes & such, but Lake & I have been emailing back & forth for sometime now. She is sweet & friendly & from what I can see, NOT a scam artist.
****************************************
While we appreciate your trusting nature, Hippie - it truly is a good thing to have an open heart - it's always best to approach life with a healthy dose of skepticism when you don't have 100% proof of something, especially on the internet.
A few things have stuck out since the beginning. First of all, Lake is the exact opposite or better than Kate in every single way - she has more kids, she is selfless, she is "single", she has a nursing job and works long shifts, she never complains, etc. etc. etc.....
Here's the problem. There really aren't that many people with young children that post here on a regular basis. Why not?? They have no time. When my four children were very young, I worked 20 - 30 hours a week, depending on the week, outside the home, took care of our home myself, cleaning, cooking, canning, and the like... I played with my kids. I read to them a lot and took them to the library every week when they were little. I encouraged them to have friends over a lot. I did all the laundry. I was pretty active in the church and very involved in their school. I drove to sports and music practices, games, recitals... My husband did vacuum occasionally (he really loves to vacuum), but he's never been a real hands on kind of guy around the house. He did take care of the yard.. If I had a minute to sit down, I would often fall asleep. LOL I sure as heck did not have time to surf the net or even get interested in a tv series. The only reading I had time for until they got bigger was the Bible, which I depended on for strength....
I think most of us here can say with complete certainty that if we were recently widowed, had 10 children 15 and under, and were very pregnant with another, while working long 12 hour shifts nursing of all things, we would have neither the time nor the energy nor the inclination to post prolifically on a blog about Kate Gosselin. In fact, I would think we'd be hospitalized by now.
The anniversary crap was also a red flag. You just laid it on a little too thick.
Also, Admin finding her IP was "private" should send up another red flag...
So Lake, if your intention was to prove a point to Kate, kudos, but you went over the top on this. If it was to pull a fast one on us... you didn't. Either way, kudos for such an elaborate hoax, but next time, if you try this again, remember that the more you say, the more likely you will be to shoot yourself in the foot.
I love how Admin plays by her own rules. She makes them, then abides by them, unlike the sheeple sites. She really has a knack for knowing when to let things go and when to put a stop to them. I know I wouldn't be so fair. Thanks, Admin.
-Skheptic ;)-
nice post catherine.
where did u see that brownnose said she met kate? was this on website or twitter? i'm guessing if she did meet her it was at a book signing long ago. the way mk carries on sucking up to kate i think if they met she would constantly be sending tweets saying - "yesterday was so fun kate (wink,wink)" ect. i'm sure there would be pics on her blog too. :0)
i know it's weird and makes me seem stalker-ish but i am amused to no end the saga of the cereal and the constant brown-nosing. maybe it's because i don't have twitter but the whole thing is interesting to see the mentality of people.
regarding kate's tweets. i notice she gets a flavor of the week that she tweets to. this week it is miloandjack..has anyone noticed that? she starts tweeting a lot to one person and the rest get jealous. i think she wants to see how far people will go to get her attention. gifts from paris soon? gift cards...cash. lol
i'm sure the email thing is a nightmare. 100's of sheep bleating for a personal response.
regarding the website..don't think any "stephanie" wrote the email to kate. i'm sure it was her PR agent. for some reason i think anyone who writes to kate would want full name credit- first and last. they strike me as those kind of people. will now tweeties get jealous if THEIR love letters to kate don't get posted?
as as far as the questions to kate. why just questions..how about a 1st name of who asked the question? of all the questions that i'm sure people actually have.... really?? she had to go there and only post vanity ones that she herself made up. it's so awful it's funny.
sooooo amazing that website it.
EM
any ya kate. epilepsy is a tough blow. what do u and 56000 plan do do to help? GAWD
tough blow... this nurse has no clue.
also..why would a person twitter to kate the bad news? as if kate give's a shit. she can't even relate. kate has never had a "tough blow" yet SHE is the one crying how hard life is.

people watched shows about large families to see how it was all done. sure it's mundane but people wanted to see it. no one wants to see a pampered mom with fake boobs running from vacation to vacation while claiming life is so hard. had the show stuck to the original format it could have limped by another few years. if kate was wowing others with her craft tips, cleaning tips and recipes (while actually doing and showing it)it could have led to much more. she really threw her brand in the trash didn't she? no wonder TLC is pissed.
still baffled why kate thinks she deserves talk show. what can she possibly contribute to a conversation? she has no empathy..no education..no flair..no interviewing skills. if anyone hires her to be on a talk show i would just gag. it would be so undeserved.

Thanks Em, Brownlow said on twitter that she has met up with Kate a few, or several, times. I don't care enough to check her twitter feed. It's way way too cloying and sappy for my tastes.
I'm not saying I buy or don't buy Lake's story. I just don't understand all the attacking. Not liking to be called a single mother instead of a widow is not a red flag, and answering "no baby", and not writing YET is not one either. When she asks for money from strangers, a la Kate, I'll be the first in line to say that is not cool.
It's Admin's blog and she makes the rules. I respect her for telling everyone to be cautious. I would do the same.
The Z-List media is only printing a few recycled stories about Kate whining about money, her twitter is dying down, her website is a disaster and if she did go to the Emmy's for some narcissistic supply, it was an EPIC FAIL.
We should be rejoicing, not sniping in a circle.
Hippie Chick, I totally understand that you've been on here a lot, and felt comfortable sharing some of your personal life. It was all in context to Kate's whining. I have an autoimmune disease that keeps me down a lot. That's why I have time to follow this saga when I'm sure no one in my family gives a s$%# about Kate Gosselin and most probably don't know who she even is.
Oh, and I lost both of my parents and a stillborn baby in the last couple of years.
So I shared a bit. Someone come attack me. Have at it. You trolls are a cruel bunch.
I don't get how me talking about my mom & then leaving a link to my site makes me look weird. My mom doesn't know I read here. And because she is just oh so great, she doesn't read my blog. I could write on my blog that my mom is a racist pig with cankles & ass hair, she would never see it. I don't even bother talking about my blog anymore with her. She just says "Eh, you know I'm not into that stuff". She is just not supportive.
*I think it sucks so many people have ruined it for so many more. People not being trustworthy, lying to make people feel sorry, etc. It's really broken a lot of trust. I know it's hard being on the internet & all, you just don't know who you're talking too, but it's too bad. But we DO know Lake reads here. Let's take her feelings into consideration. Thank you.
~Hippie Chick~
Everyone take a deep breath. :)
I have no problem with people sharing snippets of their lives which a lot of people have done over the years. But what has also happened is because I feel I've come to know a lot of you, I'm protective of you. And I think a lot of other folks feel the same about the group. Look at what happens when a sheeple comes here calling everyone stupid, people usually jump right on them.
I think when someone brand new, out of the blue, was going beyond sharing snippets and sharing very long and detailed stories about a life polar opposite from Kate's, it just sounded all too familiar--as in, catfish in the past have done the same thing and suckered a lot of good people. It set off red flags something might be off.
It certainly could have been someone who liked to share and I certainly wish them the best if so, but....we just can't know and it's probably best that we be cautious. Not asking anyone to be mean, or cruel, just cautious.
It wasn't meant to be an "attack" on this person, but was rather concern for the people who have been here a lot longer and I firmly believe are GOOD people.
Just please don't see a sense of protection for the good people here as an attack on anyone. It's pretty hard to say to someone you might be a fake, while still being respectful to them and their story--I sense people have tried hard to do just that.
Just for the record...the fact that Nancy Graces son looks like her is a miracle, considering she probably used donor eggs.
Admin,
I certainly wasn't accusing you of attacking anyone. As I stated, I have a lot of respect for you cautioning everyone. But there are a few snipers on here who just like to hit and run. Those are the people I was addressing, not you. Attacking Hippie Chick was the last straw for me.
I was under the impression that Lake was not a regular, but someone who had posted several times in the past. I'm not saying I buy the story, but I have a few kids, I was "almost" widowed (cancer), and since she claims to be due next month, I'm sure she would now be at the point where she has to stay off her feet more than before. The last month is brutal on the legs.
Being a widow doesn't mean one is poor and working until the last second. So if she's a pregnant woman staying off her feet for a few weeks, more power to her. If, God forbid, something happened to my husband, his life insurance and Social Security benefits would be substantial, but I would still have to be careful. It's scary being alone in this world with a lot of kids to raise. (And I am NOT referring to M$. MoneyBag$ Katie Kreider)
Thanks Admin. As the other sites fall by the wayside, this is the best one out there, and it keeps getting better. I hope you let us know when your book comes out. My daughter is nuts about books and especially anything to do with the Civil War and historical fiction. She actually aspires to do the same one day.
God Bless,
Catherine
On another subject, I am SO tired of getting emails from President Obama. You would think he had more to do than email me. ha!
Kat?
Who said she used donor eggs? I never heard that one.

Catherine, you are a wise blogger!
I am enjoying your posts, keep it up.
I certainly didn't mean to make feel people feel badly about personal stories on this blog. I think our personal experiences are what form a common bond on here. Most of us have experienced what it's like to be in the life of a narcissist and have been hurt by it in one way or another. I'm no exception to that. I think it's important that we can share at least a small part of our story. That's why Kate Gosselin is so relevant (unfortunately). She reminds us of some of our worst memories.
I don't know if any of you read the sheeple blogs. I do. They're boring, but if you've read them, you know that one of the things they love to do is make fun of us over here for sharing painful stories. That's what leads me to be very very skeptical about someone coming here with such a story. It seems to me that he/she is trying to play us. I could be wrong. If so, I'm very sorry. I don't think so, though. Part of my job for years and years is to get to the bottom of things and find out what people are really saying, so I've had a lot of experiences in spotting lies, and this person just seems too over the top opposite of and a better person than Kate.
It's actually a pretty impressive acting job, if I'm right. Sheeple aren't necessarily dumb, just blinded, which makes them look kind of dumb. (Sorry, sheeple.)
Just be wary and protect yourselves. Don't share enough that you can be identified in real life. Don't get too comfortable. People like Admin really put themselves out there for us, and they should be commended for doing so.
Me, I'm a chicken, so for today I shall remain....

"It's Admin's blog and she makes the rules. I respect her for telling everyone to be cautious. I would do the same."
I agree. I think the best advice is just don't get too invested.
Just checked Kate's website. There is nothing new there today for those of you who like to keep updated and don't wish to leave hits on her blog.
As far as the cereal pickup, I think that was a done deal, Kate did tell her (in code) to email her about a few days ago.
I would hope they have done it by now.
New post up about Kate's ticket.............look at the timing of Kate's ticket! Thanks to your comments I went back and read them around about the same time Kate was being pulled over and discovered what she had JUST BEEN THROUGH hours before the ticket.....check out the post.

WHAT? NO Monday menu??? Many were waiting for that! I guess those kids didn't a packed lunch, since they didn't get the list. sigh
Anonymous, I don't know which anonymous I am referring to, but someone surely did try to make Hippie Chick feel bad about sharing some personal pain. Chronic illness is a bitch. It can suck the life out of you. To see Katie Kreider whine and bitch about such trivial thing makes me fume.
Being a lonely widow is a bitch, too, I would imagine.
If the sheeple get off on planting stories here, well shame on them. I avoid them at all costs. I guess it's a stretch to expect the same in return.
I read recently that alcoholism is on the rise anomg older women; it's almost an epidemic. I'm going to guess we're dealing with some bitter, drunk hags coming on here for some fun. I can't imagine any decent person attaking Hippie Chick like that.
From this point on, when I read stuff like that I will "consider the source and move on" with no "sediments" to Katie Kreider for using her line.

Kate caught speeding on 222
Reality television mom Kate Gosselin was caught driving 88 mph in Brecknock Township last month, according to a traffic court document.
State police at Ephrata used radar to catch the former "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star speeding on Route 222 North near Route 897, according to a traffic docket filed at District Judge Rodney Hartman's office. It happened on August 9 at 1:37 a.m. In the remarks on the traffic citation, police reported that Gosselin said she was speeding because she was trying to get home to her kids. Gosselin, who lives in Sinking Spring, Berks County, mailed in her guilty plea and paid a $174 fine, Hartman said.
End of article
She was rushing home to her kids -- were they waiting up?
Doesn't every mom want to get home to their kids when they have been away from them but don't drive 88 mph in a 55 to do it?!
Also, Admin finding her IP was "private" should send up another red flag...
==========
I am sheeple-ish (dumb) about how the IP thing works, and only know that each computer is "marked" with an IP. How does an IP address come back as "private?" Can IPs be disguised?
I have to agree with Anonymous. The anniversary thing was just a bit strange. Could it be true? Yes, but what are the chances of that happening? When I first read that story, my gut reaction was...hmmmm...something doesn't sound quite right.
Can't say for a fact...just know alot about the subject...almost impossibe to get pregnant at 47/48. Odds are too high to even estimate. She had one pregnancy and with multiples yet. No eggs left, and whatever is left are not viable. Maybe if you are a Dugger. The more pregnancies the better your chance to concieve at that age.
That's what these entertainers want you to believe. That by some miracle they get pregnant in their late 40's. Odds are 1 in millions. And add in the "multiple" factor=no chance. Pretty confident in saying they were donor eggs. I would love to hear one of them admit it for once
Catherine, I agree. I have an issue with chronic pain, too, and some days it's just very difficult to concentrate on work or anything else. Coming here is one of the things that keeps me distracted from the pain. I was not the one who attacked Hippie Chick, though I did warn her to be skeptical.
-Skheptical ;) -
If, the "stah", did make her way to the Emmy awards, this should tell her fans that the woman does not put her kids in first place in her life. Stop reading, watching, tweeting, e-mailing, and sending "love offering" gifts to this woman. Starving kids all over the world need your money. Not, Kate and her eight. I would guess that they could live comfortably off the interest alone from the money she has stashed! Do not be fooled.
If Kate were to ever look for homes in LA she would be in total sticker shock. She'd only be able to afford a small 3 bedroom house, no extra rooms for not a nanny's. She doesn't have enough equity to sell the PA home - she down under there. Jon would never agree to letting his kids move cross country. What judge would allow it - for a job that she wouldn't last in for more than a few months? It would be different if she was a professional as in an educated dr. or corporate exec with an established career. If she was at the Emmy's she was either hiding or no one cares, even all her buddies as ET and AH. There was not one mention of her on any gossip show last night. (They are usually on while I'm doing dishes at night.)
On another note - I came across this post on Rene's site that sums it up greatly what a lot of us may think, but this says it perfectly.
It is a pity that no one has been able to get it through to her that she can’t have it both ways, the kids are NOT working, just happen to be on camera in the course of their everyday lives BUT SHE IS WORKING, has a career that she is NOW going to further in the entertainment field BUT SHE is NOT acting, SHE IS being herself BUT the cameras are portraying her as a bitch. You would think she would have shown pity for the kids when they were seasick as the way she ‘spins’ the truth and her words, she MUST feel seasick half the time.
She MAY NOT have needed talent for her ‘self-being’ on camera BUT for anything else in ‘show bidness’ talent is a requirement. She cannot act, speak properly, shows no emotion (dead eyes), memorize lines (can’t keep track of her OWN lies), carry on an intelligent conversation, has no poise, poor posture, walks like a cow and name one other person on camera who is EVER, let alone consistently, caught chomping on a wad of gum. And as far as her trying to get her kids into show business, the twins were already turned down several years ago when they were the younger, cuter age, and now NONE of the kids have the ‘look’, ‘personality’, or ‘talent’ to even consider them getting into show business. Talent agents aren’t looking for the ‘gosselin kid-type’ for any upcoming show premises. For pete’s sake, they didn’t even make it on their OWN show.
Someone hit her upside the head with a gold-plated two by four and tell her she’s done, through, over, finished…

To add to this Emmy-gate, who paid for the trip and hotel expense, gowns, jewelry, etc.? Surely not a freebie
Oh, you know she had to pay for everything herself! She is not a big enough name to warrant a free trip to the Emmys. Obviously nobody wanted her there. So, she would have had to pay for the dress, having hair and makeup done, shoes, airfare, Emmys ticket, hotel, plus Steve's $1600 per day, his ticket, tux, etc (she tweeted Monday night that she couldn't join the Tweeting party--too much to do. Probably just got home and wa unpacking). So, did she spring for a hotel room for Steve, or did he just share hers?
I know her manager didn't foot the bill for everything, because managers are in business to MAKE money, not blow it all on some has-been. And yet she can't afford organic milk for the kids, and had to buy chickens cause she can't afford eggs for them. They eat old, moldy sandwiches and expired (donated) organic cereal while she flies off to the Emmys. Some prioriies!
Here's an idea...maybe she is making all these trips (NYC< Emmys) to see Steve.She has to have some excuse for having him around, his wife will get suspicious if she's having him sit around the house with her all day. So, she comes up with all these "appearances" so he can be with her.
So, I'm counting...on Monday the 12th she was in NYC, then Wed in NYC to get her hair done, then Sunday in LA. That's only 4 days that week she was at home! And I heard she was shopping for dresses on Saturday (without kids). Now that they're not supporting her, they just don't matter to her, do they? Now she's stuck paying "the kids' bills". So sad.

Kate caught speeding on 222
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I didn't pick up today's paper yet. LNC News actually published this? That's a first! What in the heck was she doing on 222 in the early morning hours? She would have been coming from Lancaster or E-town (maybe visiting her family?!!) or had just gotten off the turnpike and was headed home on 222. The location would be about right.
I guess the rushing home to her kids thing didn't work this time! It would have been interesting if the arresting officer had asked her why her kids were awake at 1:30 a.m.! Was there an emergency?
article is on the back page of the paper -- after end of article was my comments - they didn't put in the part after end of article -- Lady Gaga was at the Log Cabin on Thursday for dinner - evidentally she is dating someone that went to Lancaster Mennonite -- no bodyguards, no entourage
Mom In Lancaster County
That same day, she had appeared on Joy Behar. I think she probably flew home, leaving her car at the airport maybe ? Then was driving home. I can't see HER driving to NYC alone or even with Steve. But who knows.
NEW POST UP YOU GUYS.

JUDY I AM JEALOUS, he didn't send ME that one. YOU must be the fav! LOL
regarding Lake. i have felt a bit hinky before on a post or 2 but i just carry on. i take everything i read on the net with a grain of salt, but that's just me. personally, if Lake continues to share (i doubt she will after reading these comments) i would like to read about an average day. what is the routine and how it all gets done.
if her story is true then i can 100% see why kate gosselin would make her want to take the time to post and vent. if i had 11 kids and truly worked my ass off i would be so nauseous seeing someone receive so many accolades for doing absolutely nothing. anyway..regardless of Lake's story, i do agree with her kate snark and comments so i will continue to read her posts. i love reading posts that make a point and if it takes a personal story to compare to make that point i'm good with it. personally i get bored with the nonsense chatter about nothing but i just skim over that. that's the beauty of blogs. read what you want. ignore what bores you.
i have a mere 2 kids and i get ridiculously appalled by how much kate has been given and how little she gives back. i surprise myself at time how often i check here to get kate info. i don't know why, but she is someone you love to snark on. i have never felt "celebrity hate" for anyone. even the vapid reality stars. i just never cared. something about kate tho sets me off. it's the constant lying!!! i really never lie so it stuns me to see someone lie so easily and be such an all around awful person while having sheeple lap it up and ignore all the inconsistancies.
can one sheeple please just tell me what rates kate so worthy of accolades? and don't say because she is real,honest and shows her flaws. we have PROVEN that all to be total bs. i would never stand behind someone blindly without doing a little research while outright ignoring FACT and passing it off as "hate"
as a SINGLE mom of 2 (never a dime of child support or one day of visitation) it stuns me that kate as a mom of EIGHT has more free time, more help, more money and more freebies than i could ever dream of yet sheeple claim she deserves MORE me time, MORE freebies, MORE money, MORE help. mind blowing. do they really feel kate deserves all this because she had 8 kids? are kate's kids more deserving than sheeple kids? where do sheeple get that kate is organized? because TLC branded her and said so? what have you SEEN people - not what you have been told by kate?
kate.. you DID NOT WORK HARD FOR 6 YEARS TO PROVIDE FOR YOU KIDS. you did nothing. you took a bunch of free shit and exploited your kids. they have paid their own way. you have done nothing! i see you as severely lacking in parenting skills, organizational skills, basic human interaction skills, life skills AND i find you to be lazy, mean, self centered, naricissictic, greedy and a grifter.
anyway..i believe this
for one who much is given..much is expected
this is why people take time to post about kate - even if they have hectic lives. they want to see karma. they bust their asses all day and watch a pig be handed life on a golden palate. its a great place to vent so you can move on, purge the feeling of ick after seeing her or reading about her and then be free to enjoy the day. kate drives you crazy with her sob stories and gimme more attitude. she has been and always will be a sham. she would truly not know what to do if a REAL problem was thrown her way.
EM
Just had a thought - the last time Kate was in NY she was dress shopping for something sparkly. So the "last minute invite to the Emmys" is another lie?

Gee,I am very sorry, for telling any of you about my sadness over things I have suffered in my life. I just thought it was nice to 'get to know'some things about the people I posted with on here. I will never say anything ever again. Sometimes, for some of us, it is easier to say stuff to people that don't know you, rather than people who you do know.I apologize,I did not know the proper blog rules
I also want to apologize for sharing the story of the loss of my baby girl. It was not a ploy for sympathy, it was sharing womething in my life that makes me enraged at people who do not appreciate what they have in their own children (namely, Kate!). I agree that it is sometimes easier to share your story with strangers. People who hear your story always want details, and details are hard to supply without breaking down. When I had two sons in a row, and people asked me if we were going to keep "trying for that girl", I usually just smiled and replied that we're happy with our boys. I sometimes felt like I was denying her, but if I said I had lost a daughter, then people want details. And details are hard to give.
This is just a thought. Maybe DWTS paid for her trip to and from L.A. to be on the first two DWTS shows Monday and Tuesday and she just went 1 day early to go to the Emmy's. I'm assuming DWTS would pay for her hotel room. They did have alot of the past celebs in the audience last night but I could not see Kate. That's not saying she wasn't here. I just can't see Kate paying for anythig like that by herself. I'm sure she's going to hit up the freebies from DWTS tho,if the past celebs still get those. Why she goes is another story. I'm sure no one was happy to see her.
done feel bad layla. i think the majority enjoy getting to know people's stories. it explains why they feel such disdain for kate. someone who has been thru hard times is mystified how kate can actually try to sell a hard luck story.
i think people's personal experiences are the core of why they want to snark on kate. it's ok to share, to vent and be human. your story relates to WHY to fee as you do. it's hard not to share a reason why you feel the way you do about a situation. it just comes out. i dont think as i post. i just let the words flow. they make sense to me. if someone doesnt want to read it they can skip my post. it doesnt hurt my feelings.
no matter what you feel i thought it was rude to use the words - how someone "died" or "chronic pain" so coldly. people here have feelings and to have their lives dimsished to a catch phrase must be hurtful. people share because there is a human want to bond and share life experiences. especially since we are disecting someone else's (kate's) life experience. it tells where you are coming from in your views.
personally its hard for me to see Lake as a sheeple in disguise because her disdain for kate comes thru loud and clear. she may or may not be who she says she is. none of us may be...but it's still something she chose to share and although i respect the comments to use caution and i agree...i dont feel offended by her posts, or anyone else's who chose to share their lives.
i feel its just important to use catuion not to tell to much to the point that you cant be tracked or googled. its safer to be anonymous on the net in this day and age.

Pure speculation but I'm going to recycle it anyway.....suppose she's looking at properties?
I read somewhere that she was looking at properties in LA when she did Dancing With the Stars. My thought at the time was that CA possibly had lenient child labor laws, and she could work the kids even harder out there, and make more money off them. But that didn't work out. Now, of course, she may be getting s clue that she isn't wanted without the kids, so she could be looking for opportunities for her to use them for a paycheck again. And besides, all the paps live in LA, so maybe she thinks they will pay more attention to her if she is in their midst. Seriously, how many paparazzi are there in Wernersville?
Word of caution to Kate--Jon will never allow you to take the kids out of state. Yes, we know you don't agree that the parent who spends less time with them should have any say in their care (He's only, you know, their FATHER), but judges tend to look at it differently. And let's say you spend a load of money and get permission from the courts to take the kids away (not likely), then you would have to find a property in LA that you could afford since you're, you know,um, unemployed. And don't count on getting much money for the house in Wernersville, because there aren't many people in the area who are able/willing to put up large sums of money for a property like that in this economy.
On a lighter note, didn't Tony look happy dancing with Chynna Phillips last night? In the clips from practices, she just seemed so easy-going and non-diva-ish. He sooo deserves a partner like her.
Anonymous/EM,
Thank you for understanding. There seems to be a lot of doubt/picking apart others lately, and I kind of see where Lake is coming fom. When I'd get the "Are you going to try for a girl?" comment, and I didn't say I had already had a girl--it wasn't a ploy to decieve anyone, it was just a situation that was so raw and painful for me, just wasn't up to sharing it with someone. It is easier to just smile and put someone off with the "easy" answer because otherwise you'd spend all your time crying over your loss. And when you have other little miracles to take care of, you need to be strong and push forward. So, if the "easy" answer is what gets you through the day, maybe that's best.
Let's all be kind to one another and give one another a little trust and support. Happy faces for everyone!
TO: prairiemary Layla
I wasn't going to comment at all in this whole discussion. But I have to say this. DO NOT let one person's opinion get to you. I have enjoyed almost every single person's posts here. We ALL have shared some stories. SO WHAT? If one person doesn't like, well I am sorry, they can skip over them.
Do not even think of leaving here, or stop posting about what YOU want to post about. Admin has clearly said SHE doesn't mind it. So there you have it. For all we know it could be a sheep who is trying to stir something up.
Please, don't let this ruin this blog. I do enjoy what you guys post and these comments have been downright cruel. PLEASE don't take this to heart.
Regards and respect,
No Regrets
BTW there is a new post up.
Layla & prairiemary
I had composed a long post and it just disappeared. sigh
I wasn't going to comment on this entire thing, it makes me VERY uncomfortable to 'talk' about someone on the blog. (I did have on exception, recently)
But to you TWO I do want to say this. BOTH your posts are very good, and I enjoy reading them. Don't you dare take ONE opinion and take it to heart. Admin said she did not mind relating personal stories so there you have it. For all we know some sheep may have snuck in here to stir up stuff. Just post as YOU see fit. If someone doesn't like it I am sorry for them. They can SKIP the post.
Please do not change. Do not let it ruin the blog.
Regards to both of you
BTW a NEW post is up.<<<<<<<<<
Since there's a new post up I'll just make my one comment about Lake and then move on. Her story sounds like a new Jodi Picoult or Nicholas Sparks novel to me. An interesting work in progress but I don't know if I'll buy the book.
And don't count on getting much money for the house in Wernersville, because there aren't many people in the area who are able/willing to put up large sums of money for a property like that in this economy.
&&&&&
If you pull up the comps, and find out houses such as that, with acreage, are selling for $600,000 or so, then yes, there are people (execs, physicians with families) who are willing to pay that amount for that home. If she's looking to break even or make a profit, it will never happen.
May I tell you something? Each time I read one of your shared stories, I offer a prayer to God. I may not know the full story, but God certainly does. Sincere prayer is never wasted, even if offered for those who don't actually need it.
I ask God's peace and blessings upon all.
Ky Pastor, if everyone did that, think of where we'd be! Thank you!
Admin has a new post.
Admin.,
If this (annoying) Anonymous is using that name because he/she cannot get posts through with a real name, couldn't he/she sign a name at the end of the comment like others do?
I really appreciate it when I know who's posting.
Thanks a million; I LOVE this blog.
