Although Kate has always downplayed the role of the show in the disintegration of her marriage, there's no question that reality T.V. is stressful on relationships.
Audrina Patridge, 26, one of Tony's kinder, gentler DWTS partners and star of The Hills, took a break from seven years of filming this year, and says now things in her personal life are more balanced as a result: "It's hard on relationships, so after the show, Corey and I really worked on what was going on with us. We spent time together. I took five to six months off to just relax. With seven straight years of filming, I didn't really get time to organize my house or do things for myself, so I just took some time off. I moved to the beach."

592 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 592 of 592 Newer› Newest»It's a little inaccurate to say the Kardashians are just sort of famous because they are famous.
Actually, their dad was a lawyer on the OJ case and that's when the name first started to become known. They also had a clothing store in Calabasas for years before they ever got famous and most of the kids worked there, long hours, and hard. They know hard work. Not to generalize, but I've known a lot of Armenians in that part of LA, one of them is one of my best friends from law school, and I've never met anyone I would remotely call lazy. They work hard and well at whatever they do and are very family focused. I love it.
I'm not the biggest fan, but they are not idiot loafs either like other reality stars.
And you know what else about the Kardashians? If all the fame went away, they would still have a variety of lucrative career options without it. From the clothing to if I'm not mistaken Rob is planning on law school at some point, etc. Bruce Jenner has some kind of software company and aviation company, he has dabbled in all kinds of things, the bulk of which have nothing to dow with fame, usually successfully.
Susantoyota, lol. We owe it all to Kate don't we! Next Kate will take credit for ending the war in Iraq.
And yet another tradition goes by the wayside because it is not being filmed. One of her sheeple asked if the kids still picked names to buy for each other. She said she has been too busy and they may not do it this year. If they do it will be last minute with all the other last minute shoppers. Now we all know the famous or is it infamous Toys R Us meltdown, when she treated Jon like a dog and screamed at him from across the store. Can you imagine those poor kids with the stress of being in the store shopping at the last minute with that hysterical woman? I hope they tell her they don't want to buy presents this year and save themselves from that nightmare.
I'd be willing to bet that the only reason Kate gave Jon the BBB was so she wouldn't have to allow him to drive the new fan when he has the kids. She also probably couldn't get much on it for trade in. Re the BBB -- I thought I read that they were gifted a van but Kate hated the color of it (maroon), so they traded it in on the BBB. Maybe I'm wrong about that. It's been a while since I read it, so the facts may be mixed up in my mind.

Aaaarrrgggggghhhhhhhhh! Proofread, proofread! That should read "drive the new VAN", although Kate has been known to drive fans, too, LOL.

Dear Kate (since we all know that you read this and other blots out there)
One of my friends posted this link to a blog (http://demandeuphoria.blogspot.com/2011/12/you-call-that-gift.html) that talks about when a gift is not a gift.
I think that you should take this blot to heart. You keep talking about expecting things from your children in return for christmas gifts. You should give freely out of love and not expect anything in return. Remember that it's not a gift if you require a certain type or amount of appreciation in return.
It's not a gift if you reserve or exercise the right to take it away at any moment, for any reason.
It's not a gift if you force your child to use it (or not use it) in a certain way.
It's not a gift if you use it as a tool to manipulate your child.
It's not a gift if you make your child feel guilty for using it too much or not using it enough.
Next Kate will take credit for ending the war in Iraq.

I thought that tweet might have referred to the kids buying each other gifts.
Of course, Kate (I DO IT ALL FOR MY KIDS, MY KIDS COME FIRST) Grifter Gosselin hasn't had time to shop with her kids. She spent almost half of the month of November planning for, travelling to and recouperating from her Australia trip. Then baked for an entire day and threw together a 20 person Thanksgiving dinner with no pics for her fans. Then December came and it was all about the kids!!!!!! Whoops! who am I kidding? It is still all about Kate. While she made time to 1/2 light and sparsely decorate her tree, she then prepared for, ?running? and recovering from her first marathon in close by Las Vegas. Once returning from that trip, you know, she has those "vomitous" kids to deal with and those pesky photo shoots. At some point, during all this, she has to squeeze in 5 minutes to post her exciting and informative blog posts. She is a working woman you know. How can you blame her for not keeping that long lived, (as long as 1 episode) tradition of having the kids exchange special gifts with each other. (SNARK)
______
On another note:
Hey Kate, how would you like if if Mady or Cara spent their hard earned money on Christmas gifts for some washed up, has been "celebrity", who could well afford her own gifts. I know that would not sit well with you, so why are you permitting these CHILDREN to spend their money and time on gift's to you and the kids, that I am sure you do not appreciate.
GET A CLUE KATE! Tell these people you appreciate the thought, but please do not send gifts.
You are despicable, lowest of low, the dirt on the bottom of the Grinch's shoe! TAKE,TAKE,TAKE no matter what it is. If it is free you will TAKE it. PIG!
What a joke about this woman not having enough time to arrange a white elephant Christmas for the kids. Does she know how much most 9-5 moms would kill to have her schedule?
A quick Google search turns up stories that Jon was selling his BMW back in April of 2010, which is in line with what he tweeted today - "I sold my M3 over a year ago."
I've been on Twitter enough these last several months to know just how Khate operates. She might not be tweeting at the moment, even sometimes said Goodnight, but she is ALWAYS watching Twitter and when something interests her (especially a freebie offer), she pops right back onto Twitter.
So, I just looked at her Twitter and she sent 46 tweets today, even though she claims to have been so busy baking. She tweeted a couple pics of her loaves and mini loaves of breads she made today, big deal. Mix the batter, pour it in the muffin pans, and in the oven, set the timer, done. Whoop dee doo dah, I can accomplish all that while at the same time doing three loads of laundry, walking the dogs, paying my bills, and making lunch. I did notice, though, that in her second tweeted photo that had the finished breads, she just had to carefully position the loaves of bread in front of their advent calendar. Of course a sheeple asked about it and she replied they got it in Australia.
But, back to my point. I know how she operates on Twitter:
She was tweeting up a storm between 2:28 and 2:42 (in addition to tweets around 9 am, and a bit later).
Then, she had no tweets for a while.
At 3:30, that nasty sheeple tweets that she feels bad that Jon's car was repossessed, such an awful thing, (what a bitch, really).
So, it APPEARED that Khate was off Twitter, but I am convinced she reads ALL tweets ALL DAY LONG. Khate came back to Twitter within MINUTES - at 3:34. I know she was watching tweets and she wanted to POUNCE on that one about Jon's car. First, she replied to some other tweet, but then with her next tweet (at 3:38), she replied to the car tweet.
Khate WANTED to reply to it and she WANTED to get it out there that she "gave" Jon the BBB.
This is why she is such a damn bitch. She surely could have ignored that tweet, as she does so many others. But, nope she saw it and had to get her digs in at Jon. Then, she sat back and sucked up the praise from sheeple for being so "generous". OMG, I have to puke. Also, she acts like she "gave" him the BBB because his car was repossessed. At least, her reply to a tweet about the car being repossessed sure implies that, doesn't it?
She replied, " He does have the big blue bus that I gave him 2 weeks ago tho.." She WANTED to imply that the repo story was true, but at least he has the BBB she "gave" him. Such bullcrap! I'm sure she knows that he sold the car, but she's acting like it was recently repossessed and, out of the goodness of her heart, she "gave" him the BBB! Again, bitch has to get the digs in every chance she can.
Also, she said she gave it to him two weeks ago, and then in response to another tweet, she said basically said she needed a NEW one ("it was time"). So, she just wanted to put it out there before she gets bashed for being seen with her second new vehicle in 6-8 months. She thinks that acting as if she was so generous in "giving" Jon the BBB will negate any criticism. But, you know what? At this point - like it or not sheeple - I am going to criticize her every fvcking BREATH! She sure did so to Jon, and on national television, no less!
Also, she acts like she "gave" him the BBB because his car was repossessed. At least, her reply to a tweet about the car being repossessed sure implies that, doesn't it?
&&&&&&
Exactly. She knows exactly what she is doing. But if anyone ever calls her on it, she has an easy out--I never said that!
She's right, she never said it. But letting people think it by implying it is almost the same thing. If not worse, because you're not being upfront.
Next Kate will take credit for ending the war in Iraq.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
No, Obama already did that.
&&&&&&&
He's lying. It was Kate.
Of course this is assuming she has 1. heard of Iraq and 2. knows where it is.
OMG! She does NOT stop! She just had to come back to Twitter to reply to the tweet from a couple of hours ago from that bitch sheeple that started it all!!

It's official: I really DO hate her fvcking guts. Call me a hater, I'll wear that title proudly because I hate EVERYTHING about this evil, useless BITCH!
He may not be able to afford a BBB, but at least, he is not grifting Christmas gifts from 10 year olds, is he Kate
OMG. The bulk of her money is from the damn kids for god sakes!
Is she honestly and truly making more money at her stupid blogging job than Jon is at his 9-5?? If blogging were this lucrative I wouldn't work a 9-5. For the vast majority of people, it's not.
And how dare she talk about his finances. None of her f-ing business, and certainly not her place to disclose what is going on with him financially.
And if she's such a damn bleeding heart for him why doesn't she stop nickel and diming him for every last cent for child support so he can afford cars to drive the kids around? Good god.
She is a classless bitch.
OMG. She really is a hateful, evil BITCH. NLAN, I will gladly join you in wearing the hater title proudly because this fucking bitch makes me want to punch something.

Whoever said above that she did this because she didn't want him driving whatever new vehicle she purchased is in my view entirely correct. She probably had no trade-in value on the old BBB either, so it was a win-win for her to hand it over to Jon.
She is truly despicable.
- I gave it2him... As in signed it over bc I know he can't afford a large vehicle for kids...
******
Kate let us repeat so you understand. You cannot GIVE to someone what was already a gift to you. It's a f-ing regift, and since it was obtained during the marriage, it belongs just as much to him as it does to you.
If hubby and wifey buy a pizza together and then wifey "gives" it to him, nothing has happened. She can't give what already belongs to him.
I wonder how it is going to work to pick up the kids now on Jon's weekends? Will they stand at the gate and get in 'Jon's' BBB since she won't let him drive up to the door.
Forgot to add in my last post -
Steve, since I know you either read here or your GF fills you in, you are just as useless and pathetic as the home-wrecking whore that you've aligned yourself with. I'll never understand how you can live with yourself or sleep at night knowing that you enable this worthless bitch. LOSER.
See sheep why Jon had a few flings now?
See?
No, they don't. They really don't.
She is happy because she had help today. She said she always has help on baking days. That is why it had to be "rescheduled." And I never saw so much coffee in my life for just one person.
But in all fairness she could have been a bitch about the BBB and not let him have it but continue to have to pick it up and drop it off each time. Maybe someone has advised her to drop the Jon's a bad dad crap. Anybody who ever watched that show would know better. Some of her newer fans have only seen her by pics in the tabloid and K+8 and like the slutty clothes. She is not wearing them as much either. New manager?
He may not be able to afford a BBB, but at least, he is not grifting Christmas gifts from 10 year olds, is he Kate
&&&&&&&&&
He may not be able to afford the BBB, but at least he's no longer exploiting his kids.
But in all fairness she could have been a bitch about the BBB and not let him have it but continue to have to pick it up and drop it off each time.
&&&&&
I don' think anyone is saying she shouldn't give it to him. I don't care, give it to him. It's his too anyway.
But to brag about it on Twitter and make him out to be a hapless fool is disgusting.
So Kate didn't pay for the BBB, and it was given to her AND Jon when the tups were born. The thing is 7 years old and probably reeks of pee, etc, and is worth very little. But she's St. Kate for giving it to Jon?
I wish she would make up her mind. Is she working her fingers to the bone to support the damn kids or is she financially afloat from exploiting them? Ack , she gives me a fucking headache.
Does anyone want some old q-Tips I have stashed somewhere? I don't need them.
St. Admin.
If anyone here has access to Jon's twitter, please encourage him to keep an eye on Kate's account. The nonsense going on over there tonight is obscene, and you're correct, she has NO right to discuss Jon's personal financial status on the internet. Also correct that someone reminded Kate that their children's friends (or their parents) are likely reading all of this. He may not be ready to take a stand quite yet, but a bit of ammo wouldn't hurt. She is truly despicable as a human being, and I use the term loosely.
PS - someone on kate's twitter page suggests that the old BBB title is in both Jon & Kate's names...that she took it when they separated, now generously "giving" it back when it's old and in need of repair. How can you give something to a person who already owns it???
Kate, why are you gloating that Jon may be struggling financially? If you, "like most moms", care about your kids, how does broadcasting this information not hurt them? If you are doing it all for the kids (eye roll), then why did you screw their dad in the divorce. Don't you think if he was doing well it would benefit your kids? Don't you think a fair divorce settlement would have been in their best interest? Here's my prediction: he will be the richer of you two in the future, in every way.
Ha!Ha!Ha! One of Kate's sheeple was telling her how she was trying to catch up with her all day long. Kate said "here I am looking like something the car drug in:)" No ladies and gentlemen that is not a misspelling of mine. She must have cars on the brain I am guessing. Plus shouldn't it be dragged in? She spent ten years correcting Jon?

I feel bad for Jon, he is trying to work hard and the NE has to trash him.
Her manager or financial consultant probably advised her, income tax wise, it would be good for her to purchase a new van before the end of the year because her income next year will be substantially less. (I'm assuming of course that the van is taken into consideration for income tax purposes.)
In any case, since the van was purchased with funds "earned"(?) solely because of the eight children, I think one can safely argue the children purchased the new van.
I wonder how Judge Judy would rule on the matter. LOL
bm
From Kate's twitter:
why did u make 121 loaves of bread? teachers, trash men, bank lady, nail girl, friends who help out, bus drivers, etc and so on
I hope with all the crap they have to put up with from her there are gift cards attached to those loaves.
They work hard and well at whatever they do and are very family focused.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I know the above was prefaced with 'not to generalize' and truly you didn't generalize. You stereo-typed.
As an Armenian American woman, I am officially. offended. Although your sterotype is a postive one, it's still a sterotype. Could you remove your post or apologize?
Funny you should mention it, St. Admin, I just ran out of Q-tips today! Contact Dwindle for my mailing address - but please ONLY Q-tip brand!! NO GENERICS!
What would a van have to do with income tax?
Sarine, I don't understand why you are offended. It's a compliment, and it's also a statement of fact in that ll the Armenians I know work hard and are family focused. The Kardashians seem no different. There are certain stereo types that are there for a reason, and not all stereotypes are bad ones.
Wonder if Mady and Cara have read their mom's tweets today. She may be in the same house, but Mama G ain't home. They might check into twitter to see what mom's up to behind her locked bedroom door. Maybe she texts Mady every night to bathe the littles?
St Admin, are the qtips you're offering all fluffy and stretched out from sitting in the bottom of a drawer for seven years? Contact me at my website and I'll give you my mailing address
Tonight Kate managed to prove even more thoroughly than before how tacky and classless she is. Never, ever discuss such personal issues with strangers.
It's absolutely simply staggering to witness her lack of manners every day; from hinting for gifts, forgetting to thank those hapless fools that send her gifts, to bashing her kids' father at every opportunity, Kate just continues to amze me.
How low will she go? I expect she'll manage to pull off a new low wny day.
The new car tax credit. You can deduct the taxes you paid on it. It can make sense to buy now if you know next year you'll probably have less tax liability, to reduce your tax liability on a year where you have more. Whoever said that was right about the motivations I think.

Gawd, I hope not but wouldn't surprise me. They must be curious and sure their friends talk. Definitely not something they (or anyone under 18) should be looking at. It makes me so furious that she demeans their dad in such a public way. I just hope he's watching and preparing himself for the day when those girls start asking him questions.
Administrator @ 41 - You phrased it much more succinctly than I did - thanks.

I am starting to think that Kate is incapable of two things: one, of not dragging Jon down every chance she gets because she feels she will always have some control over Jon via the kids. And two, I know Kate's favorite key on the keyboard is (!) seeing as she rarely ends a sentence with (.)
I think a person who tries to make their life seem that exciting all the time is trying to make themselves feel better about their life. Not saying there are not appropriate times for exclaimed happiness or other emotions, but if that's your only way to communicate how you feel...doesn't it just sort of become dull? Or something like that. I've never seen an adult write and use explanation points all the time like that. Sure Kate, go ahead and write a paper and turn it in with almost every sentence with an explanation point and see what grade you get. Unbelievable almost.
I'm sure she has a Mr. Don't get my ass thrown in jail for tax fraud Man who does this all for her and just tells her what to do.
There are a variety of other things you can deduct depending if you qualify.
Depending if she uses it to drive to "work" she might be able to deduct gas, repairs, etc etc for all that. You can even deduct car insurance and registration fees, if you qualify. She'll probably try to write the gift of the van off as a charitable donation to the less fortunate among us.
There are always ulterior motives to anything she does.
The Anti-Defamation League's "A World of Difference" Institute defines a stereotype as an oversimplified generalization about a person or group of people without regard for individual differences. Stereotypes lead to a shorthand that assumes because someone is X they will behave in a certain way. By lumping together everyone in a group, stereotypes transmit inaccurate, hurtful and unproductive messages.
Even seemingly positive stereotypes that link a person or group to a specific positive trait can have negative consequences. Defining an ethnic group as athletic or smart or good at music sets unrealistic expectations for the members of that group - expectations that can never be met by many people in that group - because the generalization simply is not true for all.
Thank you for allowing me to share that. Please reconsider.
Sarine I don't live my life on pins and needles like that. I believe saying something positive about a group of people or culture is empowering, not demoralizing.
I wasn't going to say this, because I thought it was too mean, even when directed at Kate, but in light of the absolutely awful stuff she's been saying on Twitter about the father of her children and the man she left, I will.
Her blog post about the coffee? She says the first thing she sees in the morning is her coffee table, and she makes it and loves it, has mugs from everywhere she's traveled.
The first thing I see every morning is my husband's face. He gets up before me and kisses me goodbye as he leaves for work. He usually nuzzles my neck a bit, and if I doze off and wake up a few minutes later, I can smell his cologne on me.
When I get to the kitchen, there's always a fresh thermal carafe of coffee made by him. I don't know what he does to it, but he makes the BEST coffee.
Our mugs aren't from faraway places, they're from faraway times (to us). We've been married 20 years, and they're from all the different years we've spent together.
I remember Jon used to bring her coffee in bed. But she got rid of him. So now she gets to wake up to her K Cup single serving coffee. Her choice. But this is just another reason I fail to see how we haters are supposed to be jealous. Jealous? Of the fact that she wakes up snuggling her coffee maker?
Until recently in Pennsylvania the license plate stayed with the person - not the car. Doesn't the BBB have Jon's "pre-marriage" license plate - something referring to him as being a goalie (when he was in High School).
That probably means he gave up his car when they got the BBB registered and put the plate on it.
Not so much a gift - returning what was already his (theirs when married). He wouldn't have been selfish enough to take it in the divorce and leave the kids no transportation.
To get her to stop grifting, why don't we all send her gift cards with no money on them?

Is she saying she spends more time with her tweeties than her (alleged) real friends? That's just sad.
And for a woman who only has to throw together a few blogs every week or so, plus kids in school almost all day long and a nanny there all the time, she has a lot of nerve to complain about not having time.
So she's baking mini loaves of bread as holiday thank you gifts for all the special helpers in her life; will she driving these underwhelming gifts to them in her brand new $$$$ van or perhaps the newish $$$$ sports car? Forgive me if her largesse fails to impress. I'm sure the teachers will be especially thrilled.

This blog is about Reality TV Kids, so the Duggars, born and unborn, fall into the purview of its content.
Regarding the Duggars and the public loss of Jubilee, I think there is a creep factor here, not as in "creepy", but in the slow, insidious influence of filming one's private life for public consumption. Boundaries get blurred and egos become grandiose,
_______________________
My apoligies if I offended anyone. I always thought this site, because of the banner, was mostly based on getting tlc to cancel Kate's show. And that was because her antics harmed the children.
I did see the episode Admin. asked me about but didn't see anything wrong. To me, they are good enough example of not wanting to harm anyone with their choices.
Mrs. Duggar may have not shown, what in my opinion, inappropriate behavior. She wasn't freaking out and scaring her son and those around him. In fact, first responders are taught not to run or move hastely because it could upset and worry the people around them. If they look upset, it can cause those involved to think the situation is overly tragic.
Our opinion of her actions is mearly perception based on how we were raised and taught.
I have a nephew who, when he was young, would flip around,act crazy, and become a danger to himself and others over any little thing that made him afraid of getting in trouble. I learned early on that I could help him to stop by making lite of the situation and show him that there is no reason to lose control.
One time my aunt, who just barely came into our lives, yelled at me and ripped me a new one for doing this to him. It was her perspective that he was not a morning person and didn't think my actions were appropriate. That was very hurtful because she had no idea what was really happening.
As far as the episode Admin. asked me about. I'm pretty sure, because they have obviously shown no preconcieved intention to harm others, that they had asked those involved permission to show that episode.
Bottom line, just like me, they will make mistakes and make wrong choices. The important thing is to not have malice or harmful intentions in our hearts when we make those choices. And do our best to make it right, where possible, when we do.
This life is one big lesson every day. It's the heart that matters.

I did see the episode Admin. asked me about but didn't see anything wrong. To me, they are good enough example of not wanting to harm anyone with their choices.
&&&&&&&&&&&
I couldn't disagree more there was nothing wrong with filming that child's accident. He could have been paralyzed, had a serious head injury, even died. There is sometimes a "I'm fine" period of a few minutes or hours after a head injury, like what happened to Natasha Richardson and the father who fell at a Texas stadium this summer. It could have been his last moments and all his mother cared about was getting it on film, all of it, because she knew they had a great episode on their hands. What if it had been a situation like Eric Clapton's poor son? Would they film then? Where do you draw the line? I don't even want to hazard a guess what has and hasn't been filmed about their miscarriage but I don't have high hopes about it remaining private.
The fact that they don't want to harm anyone with their choices, which I actually agree with, does not mean their choices aren't bad ones. If I choose to wave a knife around not intending to harm anyone, when someone gets hurt because I lose control of it, I'm responsible for a bad choice.
The sheeple always used to say why don't we hate on the Duggars? Well, back in the day when they said that, the Duggars hadn't crossed the line. Now they have, without a doubt. And now people are getting upset. They were given the benefit of the doubt for literally years. Their benefit just ran out.
As far as the episode Admin. asked me about. I'm pretty sure, because they have obviously shown no preconcieved intention to harm others, that they had asked those involved permission to show that episode.
&&&&&&&&&
Jason was involved. He's 10. Does he get a choice whether this should be filmed? How can a prostrate child who just fell twelve feet possibly be in the right frame of mind to decide whether this should be filmed for millions of people. The fact is, he can't. No one can. This is exactly the complaint that an Australian TV show about water rescue got when they asked victims in distress if they consented to filming. A lot of victims complained after the fact how could I possibly be in the right frame of mind to make a decision like that? They are absolutely right. And they're adults.
A 10 year old is not old enough to consent to such a thing anyway. He is not nearly old enough to understand all the ramifications, not by a long shot.

Great post, Dallas Lady! I was thinking something very, very similar, and I wouldn't trade one thing about my life for hers ever.
On a shallow note, I saw the pic of her coffee set up and it's quite cluttered and messy looking. I wouldn't be so proud to show that off on a blog. I guess Khate doesn't realize that master bedroom coffee bars have been a growing trend for at least a decade now. Many newer homes have master bedrooms with a small area (usually outside the bathroom and closet area), where there's a small counter top and cabinet underneath where you put a frig, kind of like in a hotel. You can have it set up like a wet bar with a sink, or without. They can have drawers and cabinets up above to keep everything put away, like this or this. It looks a lot nicer than the mess she has set up on a cluttered table. I would never want to see that in my bedroom.
Also, I think she's just grifting for those K-cups for her Keurig coffee maker. She specified the exact ones she likes yesterday, and today she said:
Kateplusmy8 Kate Gosselin
@TrippenIn and my French press was just added to my am coffee collection :) love it! Saves lots of $... Those k cups are soooo $$$$
December 15th, 2:42 PM
I guarantee you that between that tweet and the one yesterday where she specified her favorite coffees, she'll be getting plenty sent to her by the stupid sheeple. She knows exactly what she's doing.
As far as her tweet that she walks five steps to her coffee every morning, that kind of indicates to me that she has help at the house. Most moms get up first and end up in the kitchen right away, getting breakfast and lunch ready for the kids. Why bother with the coffee set up in the bedroom, if you just have to head off to the kitchen anyway? Unless the "helper" is doing all that and you can just stay in your bedroom like a little princess until you've had enough coffee.
Whoop dee doo dah, I can accomplish all that while at the same time doing three loads of laundry, walking the dogs, paying my bills, and making lunch.

So she's baking mini loaves of bread as holiday thank you gifts for all the special helpers in her life; will she driving these underwhelming gifts to them in her brand new $$$$ van or perhaps the newish $$$$ sports car? Forgive me if her largesse fails to impress. I'm sure the teachers will be especially thrilled.

Someone please tell me that these little loaves of bread are going to be packed in gift bags and that each gift bag will have a Christmas card and a gift card or some cash.
I like to give gift cards, but that's how I prefer to do it. Some nice little gift in a bag, (good chocolates, cookies, maybe a scarf), and then there should be a nice Christmas card with a note expressing your appreciation, and put a gift card in there, or cash/check, depending on who it is. If she has household help, which we know she does, I hope she knows that one to two weeks salary is standard for a Christmas bonus.

@vamanhere2 is a total pervert! His picture associated with his account is a picture of an erect penis! And Kate REPLIED to his question about her kids and specifically mentioned Cara and her little girls!!! What the hell is wrong with her??? Someone needs to stop her on twitter NOW!! She is going to end up getting herself or her children seriously hurt by her sheer stupidity! (Of course Milo actually defended her replying to this pervert by saying "oh, she probably didn't notice the picture on her pink iPhone".... unreal what the sheeple will defend for her!
It's official: I really DO hate her fvcking guts. Call me a hater, I'll wear that title proudly because I hate EVERYTHING about this evil, useless BITCH!
My sentiments exactly. I have never felt so much disgust for one person my entire life.
Apparently, she responded to a PERVERT on Twitter asking about the kids. She didn't even see what was in the icon of the person before she responded.
Eww! He also tweeted this: vamanhere2 George

I missed the number of little baked goodies - 121? She has that many 'little people' to thank? Call me jaded but somehow I doubt that there will be handwriiten notes of appreciation or gift cards ( K cups are so $$$) with her mini bread loaves. Taking is so much better than giving.
You mean sediments?
1. (n.) sentiment
an attitude or feeling toward something; opinion.
2. sediments, plural of sed·i·ment
Noun:
Matter that settles to the bottom of a liquid; dregs.
I was a little confused admin, so I looked it up to make sure I used the right word, I wasn't sure if you were joking and just referring to Kate as sediment.
melin -- It's "sediments" -- in honor of Kate's spelling of sentiment in one of her tweets a few months ago.
Someone PLEASE tell me Kate's omitted some punctuation in her tweet about the kinds of bread she made. banana pecan zuccini pumpkin cream cheese bread sounds disgusting.
How sad for Kate. The first thing she sees in the morning is her coffee setup, not the beautiful, loving faces of her children. You know, the 8 "she does it all for". Why am I not surprised?
Sabine -- Admin wasn't stereotyping. If she'd said ALL Armenians etc., that would be stereotyping. She said all the Armenians SHE KNEW. That's not stereotyping, that's opinion based on personal knowledge.
readerlady
Admin, I agree with you that some of the Duggars choices have been questionable. I still think it is their right to make that choice. They have to answer for what ever they do. If they were to have done that to any other person not family, I would say they were definitely out of line. I do think though, that some use it to attack their religious beliefs. If anyone didn't do it then you don't need to be offended, I wasn't talking about you.

Hey Anonymous, you certainly have a lot of advice here today for someone breaking a big rule. My advice back, if you don't like the conversation here, find another sandbox.

Wow that sounds like a breaking of a rule to me. Funny, I never told anyone to find another sandbox any time I disagreed or was accused of being a troll, and being criticized for my spelling, I'm slightly dyslectic.
I think it's a sad time when myself and others here have felt safer to not use our own names or say "for this time" and take on anonymous in fear of being attacked. It really gets old.
I don't agree about the Duggars, but I didn't tell anyone to leave.

Dallas Lady, I love your description of what you see first thing in the morning. I'd take that over a cup of coffee. The first thing I see every morning is my dog's face...close up and smiling...waking me to let him out.
She's coming undone said... 61
--------
It's true. She did respond personally to a guy who was asking about her children - a guy who had an erect penis as his avatar! Even her own fans (sorry...friends) often have to beg her for a reply, but she replies to obscenity? Don't get it. Earlier in the day, she re-tweeted a picture of a (completely unaware) citizen's license plate because a fan thought it was cute. If nothing else has been Kate's undoing, these last couple of gaffes could do it. She really is coming undone.
This morning, she's right back at it, talking about Jon's financial circumstances (or lack thereof). I think she likes these controversies, even down to responding to perverts. Keeps the tweets coming in and makes her feel important maybe?
@Paige_Kate8fan you are friends! :) and you probably get more time than my non virtual friends ... Sadly. Just not enough time in life

_____________________
Obviously, the virtual friends get more time than her real life, in the same house, family. While she sits on her ass twitting to perverts and virtual friends, her children are running the show, because everyone knows baking all day with a "friend" can't compare to being up at 5:30 and spending a full day at school. The kids also have to work when they get home, because mommy is EXHAUSTEDISH.
Well, a good nights sleep has not changed Kate a bit. She has already started in on Jon again this morning. She couldn't stop the tweet at ex. It has to be ex who cant afford... Such a piece of steaming crap, she is.

She continues to "explain" her actions while repeatedly bringing up Jon's inability to "afford" something necessary for the kids. I doubt her comments are actionable, but if I were Jon, I would sure give it a try.
Actually, this morning she's on a tweeting frenzy. Probably thinking to deflect from the fact that she personally replied to an internet pervert, giving him info about her children. Maybe she thinks she can fool everyone by saying "I tweet so much, I didn't notice the big boner!". But even the fans, I suspect, are getting wise to her lies.
Dallas Lady (150)...Love your coupon ideas!
Melin (157)...Welcome!
This bordercollie person must be Kate herself. Who else would repeatedly fall over themselves over this supposedly generous, amazing, self-sacrificing thing Kate did? Bordercollie already praised her multiple times last night. Now again in the am? Huh? I think this is what happens when no one babysits her. She is sockpuppeting to herself (I'm speculating) and stupidly thinks her replies to herself make her look good and better yet, Jon look bad. She will keep going until Gather picks it up, I suspect. Until then, cara will help out until she goes to bed, apparently. Guess Mady has the day off
If you have 2 ovens and all the kitchen amenities known to man at your disposal, plus a helper, and that is all you had to do and had time to tweet all day, why do the kids have to work their butts off from the minute they get home? They are in a high achievement private school - don't they have homework?
They will work and earn their keep, one way or another. I am not at all certain by the time they work THEIR fingers to the bone while their mother tweets that they may not prefer filming. She is just the absolute worst.
She probably tells them she is working when she is on Twitter, as in see what I got for you? All these nice presents from all over the world and a little something for me. Can't a mom get presents too?
What I am seeing is that it is all about the girls now. It is I got something for the girls, something for KT, something for M&C. What about the boys?
I think people (like NE and KT) pick on Jon because he is the softer target as he does not have a voice and/or platform to dispute things.
Where is the book, Jon?
NLAN, this is her THIRD new vehicle in the past few months...remember, she replaced the SUV at the same time she got her jazzy sports car...and now the big van. She should be paying Jon child support...she's deplorable.

Kate is on a roll! Twenty one tweets in an hour. Shouldn't she be wrapping gifts, shopping for her children or delivering her mini breads?
War, we have a war, I didn't know! Stay in the trenches - you can do it! What they're coming home? Oh - that's sad - no worries - there will be another. Just keep training!
I just looked at her Twitter. Getting close to Christmas and she is a tweeting fool. Yes, the more she tweets, the more she tweets. The transparency is glaring.
She was in a marathon because it was a job pure and simple and the fact that it helped to make her skinny was a bonus. Funny, the lady that interviewed her at the RNR, said your body looks like uhh "death." KT was thrilled beyond.
Good point re: Kate paying child support. The financial settlement during the divorce was clearly unfair and I think Jon caved because he thought the gravy train would continue. They were in the tabloids all the time and he wanted to pursue other tv gigs until TLC stopped him. Now that he's buckled down and working hard to get by, he should get child support for the good of THE KIDS. There shouldn't be a rich parent and a poor parent, especially since they both are caring for those kids.
@JeanneKaye yes. I slept so well last pm I forgot to set my alarm clock. 2days alarmclock name was Leah :)thnkgoodness 4 conscientious child 28 minutes ago

She has an iPhone. She can set it to go off at the same time every day. You never have to keep resetting it. I know this should sound cute but it just makes Leah sound parentified. It's like those kids that grow up with a drunk and THEY have to drag Mom out of bed and THEY have to get their younger siblings up and they have to feed them and get them ready for school. All things she frequently brags the kids do for her.
Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) said... 89

I agree Admin. To me, it just makes her sound disorganized, lazy and stupid. All the things she claims NOT to be.
I agree about the child support since one would not be rich without using the kids. She could very well forego that if she chose. I thought when there was joint custody that neither paid child support. Each provided support during their "custody" times. He could better provide for the kids on his time if that was the case.
Granted she is, by necessity, slowing but surely carving out a semi-somewhat career for herself, but she would not have that opportunity without the kids. Much to her chagrin, I am sure, even on Twitter the bottom line is still about the kids.
Jon is working on a time clock. He needs some residual income that does not require his physical presence. They were so dumb not to have invested in some type of business for each of them once the big money started or at least held out for residuals on merchandise and reruns. They didn't even do that apparently.
He also should have gotten money from MB, because his name is on it and it was their story. But she has smugly pointed out that she
is the only one that gets paid. I am sure Jon never in a million years thought he would get kicked to the curb like he did once a new man came into the picture - plus have to take all the blame for it because he acted out at first. He would have never left his family.
It is all just very sad for the kids.
Here's the morning twit phrase I love - "since being a runner". WTF - you are NOT a runner, you are a person who runs. One marathon, and several months of jogging around the neighborhood, that's it. Guess she's also a dancer since DWTS and a motivational speaker since her fall appearance at that PA college.
Bet she wakes up (with help), looks at her coffee bar and thinks "K8 G, runner". Ad then she starts her tweeting day with people who use porn for avatars. Special.
Dallas Lady - great post. My waking is similar. Hubby leaves home early. Still dark here in the Midwest. I stay cozy until it is daylight. Snuggled with Min-Pin dogs. DEar guy pushes the button to start our coffee. I get a sleepy goodbye kiss. Poor Kate. Your point was well made. She has completely lost sight of what is valuable. (Do you actually live in Dallas now?)
Wonder what she says to Leah upon being awakened? Why do I suspect it isn't "cheerful"?
@Kateplusmy8 I kind of figured that & again it was so thoughtful & extremely generous of you. How many ex's would do that? Not many. xoxoxox
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
This is the problem with the mindset of her fans. They seem to be coming from a place where all divorces are horrible and the ex is the devil.
I would say just the opposite, that MOST ex's would help the other ex out, as a matter of course. Especially if it benefits the kids. Kate is no martyr (especially with her little regift that already belongs to Jon since it was obtained during the marriage), rather, Kate is doing what the vast majority of good parents DO and is no more special than any of them.

What does sleeping well have to do with setting an alarm clock? You set the clock BEFORE sleeping.
Typical disgusting treatment of children. She makes them the adults in this dysfunctional family. Why not? They are already supporting it.
I just find it so sad the way she talks about the way these kids look after her. They paid her way for six years now they have to parent her apparently.
Kate, being a parent means YOU pay your way, and your children's way, not the other way around. And being a parent means YOU take care of yourself, and the children, not the other way around.
It's just not cute, not after everything she's told us about this.
How does she afford a new super size van when just a few months ago she was crying that she was worried about how they would make it since the show was cancelled? Crying poor saying the kids couldn't take gymnastics because she couldn't afford it? How, how, how does she keep getting kudos from these fan-freaks for the lies she can't even keep straight? She is one disgusting piece of filth.
One of her exact quotes is that the children's savings is not even close to what they'll need. She said this on a radio show a few months ago, verbatim.
Well maybe she should stop blowing money on herself and her cars and her trips if that's the case.
As someone said, she can't decide whether to cry poor or rich, she can't make up her mind which way to go on this.

Yes, Kate's nose is growing every day, but, unlike Pinocchio, she can get it fixed on one of her many self-involved, entitled, ego-based trips to NY for a "touch up."
OK. I went and looked at the AM coffee photo.
Maybe she forgot to set her alarm because it was buried in the clutter of the nightstand surface. I am a "bit" tidy compulsive, and I think that is a MESS to wake up to. It would make me grouchy on a daily basis.
We are preparing for a retirement move to Texas. That has involved looking at many new home builds. In the upper-end houses there is a coffee bar set up in the master suites. They have quite a classy feel to them. I kinda' thought it was extraneous since the lovely kitchens are just short walks away. But, if you were Kate and wanted to hide out from your kids, it might be necessary to set up camp in your bedroom. It is a sloppy, cluttered array. Why would she want us to see that?
Dmasy, where in Texas are you looking at retiring? I spent half of my married life in Texas...we moved seven times in thirteen years.

And here I thought the "big boner" was taking place within her own "off-limits" bedroom and that's why she was late. My bad.
We fell in love with Texas and the people there several years ago. Now that retirement is a reality, we want to move close to son who lives there. (The FlightAware guy!) We have land in the hill country. Outside a town so cute that it makes your teeth hurt. We will between San Antonio and Austin. Dallas Lady -- I would drive all the way to your town to buy you a cup of coffee. Judy K -- where did you live.
Dmasy: I was born in Dallas and was an Army wife for a while, but now live in a suburb of Dallas, so I'm back home. It has its pros and cons, but there's so much to do and it's truly my home.
As for that guy with the picture of an erect penis as his profile photo, *I* saw that on MY phone. I immediately was like "what the HECK is THAT?" and then clicked on his profile to see if it was what I thought it was. It was!
So this BS excuse that her sheeple are spouting (for her, she doesn't give a crap!) that she couldn't see it being on her phone is just that--BS. I have an iphone 4 just like her. I saw it clear as day.
She should be more careful about who she responds to, to make an understatement. Talking about her little girls to that guy! Then again, this is the same woman whose only response to a pedo working as their editor was "NEVER HEARD OF HIM." What do you expect?
Dmasy: oh the hill country is GORGEOUS. I love it there. My grandparents and great-grandparents were born in the Austin area and it's so pretty.
We're looking to buy land and build a cabin, but we're looking northeast of Dallas or northwest. Northwest wouldn't have the lovely trees my husband loves, but it has better chances of snow in the winter (we both love that). Northeast would have gorgeous trees. Due north is too crowded (Lake Texoma area).
Good luck in your move! I love Fredericksburg, have you ever been there? If you get the chance to go to their Markplatz at Christmas, do. Awesome.
When she says I don't notice other people, does that include other people's boners?
Administrator, that is so funny! Hey, how long since a guy in her life? (I am not convinced about Steve.) Thank you for such an enriching blog site.

Dmasy, congrats on your lovely land and being closer to your son. My husband was a federal bank examiner when we married and then became a banker...we were either transferred or he was offered better and better jobs. We lived in Ft. Worth, Amarillo, and Midland in TX--and also in Oklahoma City, Edmond, Tulsa, and Enid...all in OK. (Our daughter was adopted in San Antonio.)
Dallas Lady: Yes, we checked out Fredericksburg area. You are correct. We went even smaller in a town nearby. I hope you find the cabin site that you desire. If it isn't near Dallas, check the hill country. We will me "neighbors". Hubby and I are so excited about he changes and plans.
I would not still be visiting this site daily if it were not for the ladies that it attracts. Thanks to all of you.
UGH-finally had a lot to say, but it somehow got lost!! It has happened before, where do they go to?
Her alarm clock tweet is just stupid. You set your alarm THEN go to sleep.
Surely she isn't THAT stupid, right?
Her alarm clock tweet is just stupid. You set your alarm THEN go to sleep.

I'm guessing she got into the box o'wine and passed out before she got her alarm set.
So, does Leah get an extra corn flake in her bowl for being so conscientious?
Kate must have a wind-up clock. Most electric or electronic clocks have the repeat feature where it
goes off every morning at the same time until you turn that feature off. Much like her iPhone as someone mentioned above.
Kate is on a roll! Twenty one tweets in an hour. Shouldn't she be wrapping gifts, shopping for her children or delivering her mini breads?
+++++++++++++
She said previously that she only buys them ONE gift (yeah, right) so there shouldn't be much shopping or wrapping involved! Kids will be on winter break this afternoon starting after the holiday show. She can put them to work next week, feeding the multitudes with her five loaves of bread and two fishes.
On second thought, that can't be it. Nothing out- dated for Kate! No, it must be that she was readin (sic) through her tweets from MiloandJack and passed out from the sheer volume of those before getting her iPhone alarm set. That's it.
It's MiloandJack's fault because she's a bore. Kate probably didn't get her teeth brushed either.
I thought the One Gift Per Child proclamation was some of HollyBaby's fabricated story.
Just a little poll:
Do you say "trash men" or "garbage collectors"?
I say garbage collector. I haven't heard the term "trash men" since probably the 70's.
Hilly: that stood out to me, too. I'm surprised she didn't call the kids' teachers "teacherey people."
I say sanitation engineer. ;)
In this community, they are called the (Name of Company) guys.
When I first moved here, I was not aware of the company's name. My neighbor yelled over to me that the (Name) guys came on Thursdays, which meant nothing to me. Needless to say, my trash went out on the wrong day. I finally just looked for my neighbor's trash to go out....then I got it right.
Speaking of trash pickup, Kate wrote in her book
(I Just Want You to Know) about trash pickup -
on and on about it - and I think she mentioned cookies for the workers there, too.
I say garbage collector. I haven't heard the term "trash men" since probably the 70's.

It's "trash guys" or "trash men" here! We're still decades behind.
bearswife,
I have some q tips I only used one end of, do you think St. Admin could use them? They have been in the bathroom drawer for over 5 yrs. now, got a really good deal on the extended family pak.
I see now that there is just a little yellowy/beige flaky,dry bits of ? on them. Sorry, they are not name brand, so oh never mind....
Kate should put all these parenting tips in a book. Like how a child is a convenient little body to fit under a vehicle to retrieve things. Or a good alarm block. Or how having multple children birthed at the same time is a good money maker. Boy that Kate, she sure knows how to be of benefit to society.
I live in northwestern Pa and we call them by the company they work for...Tri county men. The work their asses off and deserve respect in my opinion.

Oh this is a good one - People magazine has named Jerry Sandusky to its 2011 list of "intriguing" people. Seriously.

NLAN, this is her THIRD new vehicle in the past few months...remember, she replaced the SUV at the same time she got her jazzy sports car...and now the big van. She should be paying Jon child support...she's deplorable.
---------------
Thanks, JudyK. Yes, I forgot about that and them late last night, I saw it mentioned on Twitter.
Btw, does anyone remember what type of SUV she replaced and what she replaced it with? I can't remember but last night, one of the kid sheeple asked her is she still has her Sequoia and she replied yes. So, is that the new SUV she got this past spring?
Ugh, sorry for the typos -
Yes, I forgot about that and then late last night.........
.......asked her if
I just watched "The Help" for the 3rd time, and am very glad Kate wasn't around during that era. She would've surely been a Hilly Holbrook type.
I bet ya she refers to sitters, gardeners, housekeepers, etc as "the help". I bet they are even banned from using certain facilities in her home.

One of her exact quotes is that the children's savings is not even close to what they'll need. She said this on a radio show a few months ago, verbatim.
----------------
Another confirmed lie. This is what she said about the kids college funds too. I think it is the 5th paragraph on the 1st page. Lies, Lies, Lies...I have to wonder WHAT the truth is.
http://www.kategosselin.org/kate-gosselin-quotes.php
Does Kate count the muffin-sized breads as loafs? If so, it did not take her long to make 121 loaves, since that one pan makes 20 at a time.
I am assuming she used a big stack of loaf-sized aluminum pans from Sam's, she has a 4-oven kitchen, a dishwasher.....nah, this didn't take as long as she'd like us to believe. Cara was probably a nice helper, though. I hope they used this potential girl time for a good chat.
For those looking for the article that talked about Kate turning down a vehicle because of it's color the article can be found here:

Kate traded her Toyota Land Cruiser for a used Toyota Sequoia and used Audi TT.
Kate Gosselin:
Re car:rem the 1st X I tweeted 'going out w the girls'?I bought car that day-in April! It's used&I traded my black suv 4 2used vehicles-

Btw, does anyone remember what type of SUV she replaced and what she replaced it with?
#############
She said she traded in the Toyota Land Cruiser on the Toyota Sequoia because she needed a bigger SUV. Funny thing is, the Sequoia is only two inches wider and nine inches longer than the Land Cruiser. Would anyone notice the difference? I didn't...

I say the man/guys/people on the garbage truck, can't get my ears to like the term trash or garbage man, as it sounds as if the man, who may be a woman in some cases, is trash or garbage when they may be lovely people. LOL, sanitary engineer, I remember those ultra PC days but that was the custodian in the school for me. I guess it could work for those in the trash hauling biz too, too grandiose though for me to not feel silly saying that.
OMG, that Katie Irene is a real wiener in too many ways to count. Still at work making her kids work for her life to be easier and bashing the man she choose for their dad. Yuck, now that's a garbage hag.
"There shouldn't be a rich parent and a poor parent"
Especially when the rich parent got rich off THEIR children. When they say life isn't fair, this is a good example.
The Sequoia seats 8 and the LC seats 7. She wanted another seat.
I wonder if that's going to be the subject of her next Coupon Crapper blog,
"How I Save on Gas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have figured out a really cool way to cut out pain at the pump!!!!!!! Instead of just having my brand new Sprinter be our only vehicle, I saved money on gas by buying TWO MORE cars. Yes, the two of them together cost about $80,000 + insurance & maintence but think of all the gas I'm saving!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I only have a couple kids, I drive my Sequoia. If I'm by myself- here's the real money saver and I highly recommend it- I drive my gorgeous sports car! It gets 15 more stylish miles per gallon than my Sequoia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every trip I take in my TT saves me enough gas money to go to Starbucks!!!! Can you believe it!!!!!!! My silly accountantish man told me I'm really not saving any money on gas by owning and upkeeping three vehicles!! Isn't he stupid???!! I know you're all going to run out and buy 2 or 3 more cars that get different mileage after reading this!!!!!!!!!! It's such an awesome and easy money saving idea!!!!! I wonder why everyone doesn't do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? I guess people just aren't as smart and shifty.. errr... I mean thrify as me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As the great Ron White says: "You can't fix stupid."
Dallas Lady,
Loved your post@ 48, you don't have a mean bone in your body. My husband kisses me good-bye in the morning too and that kind of feeling you can't buy. We have been married 35 yrs. and I would miss the snuggle, even half asleep, you know...Priceless.
We don't have a fancy coffee machine in the bedroom, I have a lovable ,sweet man who puts my needs above his own.He makes coffee too and leaves it there for me, to have later. Priceless...
I don't have to sleep single in a king-sized bed and wake up to a phone tweet or alarm.My hubby knows what I have planned for the day and phones to see if I'm ok and say good morning...Priceless...
I don't know what the sheeple think there is to be jealous of that Kate has. Money- we both make good money and have a lovely house and invested for our retirement. We owe no one.
Kate has money; does it keep her warm at night or make her laugh or comfort her with a big bear hug when she's sad? Priceless, is what we have and no money could compare to being loved by a good man.
Kate had it and threw it away and she has been trying to get the feeling back, in all the wrong ways. I would still be happy if we lost all our money, you can always get more.Love isn't a commmodity.Kate may have money, but she is poor in all the good ways- joy and peace and family which can't be bought with cash.
P.S. For a clean freak, Kate sure has a messy bedroom.

Your post is PRICELESS! Thanks so much. I actually heard Kates voice while I was reading!
OT, but relevant:
My brother has taught at a local highschool and college in a relatively small community for 35+ years. His wife has been through one minor and two major surgeries in the past three months and was in the hospital for five weeks. At one point, she was given only six weeks to live, but, miraculously, this mysterious illness, once thought to be pancreatic cancer, appears not to be cancer at all despite innumerable tumors that resulted in a stint, removal of many, many tumors, and insertion of a feeding tube. She has lost approximately 100 pounds during the sudden course of this illness and is currently at home, but still on a feeding tube, requiring a great deal of home care.
My brother's faculty and students put on a barbecue benefit for my brother and his wife last Friday to help with the ongoing medical expenses. They did it for "one of their own" and even sold t-shirts with that slogan on them and had an accompanying bake sale. It was a resounding success, paid for solely by faculty and students who cared about my brother, with all the proceeds, minus taxes, going to my brother and his wife. Touching to say the least.
But, I just received a call that had me in tears. There was a knock on my brother's door tonight, and it was a policeman. He told my brother that in all the years my brother was at that highschool, he was, too, and that he wanted my brother to know that the police department appreciated my brother treating them like people and with respect. He said that the small department had taken up a collection in appreciation and he handed my brother a $100.00 bill. That token of appreciation really choked me up.
I wonder how many "mediocre" people, the fiber of this great country, would help Queen Kate out were she ever in such circumstances. I am so proud of my brother for treating people "right" and, as a result, being loved by his students, faculty, and local police officers.
The Sequoia seats 8 and the LC seats 7. She wanted another seat.
_________________
Actually, the Land Cruiser can seat eight. All that needs to be ordered and installed is the extra seat belt. I've done it. Why would she need eight seats in a van if she had the BBB?
I'm really slow tonight. What good would an extra seat be if there are nine of them? Whether she had the LC with seven seats or the Sequoia with eight seats, she's still not going to be able to take all of them at the same time in the SUV.
I see BigFan (also known as Sybil or Eve) is back on Twitter. First she was Bigfanofk8g, then notabigfanofk8g, and now, Bigfanofkategos.
Twitter and its multiples certainly is entertaining!

Your comment brought tears to my eyes. After knowing the recognition Kate receives for her selfish, grifting, self-centered, selfish, me-me-me life she lives it's so heartwarming to be reminded there are people like your brother who are recognized for doing good work and just being a good person. I know that your dear brother is loved and respected by many, that throughout his teaching career he has impacted many lives and that he'll be long remembered for the mark he leaves on so many.
Sending thoughts and prayers to your brother and his wife, as they deal with her illness and recovery.
Exley 135 -- Thanks for posting the link to that article mentioning the G's turning down a van. I read a LOT, and things sometimes blur together after a while.
Wayward -- loved your post! (Appropriate use of !). That sounds exactly like something Kate would twit/blog/say.
I say "trash collector".
JudyK -- Your story about your B and SIL had me in tears. I know what you mean about the feeling of community at a small school, in a small town. Sounds like your brother is one of the good 'uns. To answer your question about whether anyone would rally 'round Kate if she needed help. We'll never know. Given the reports of the way she turned away friendly gestures of welcome, she'd never take the time to learn that she was being offered help. Unless, of course, they trumpeted from the rooftops ahead of time that they were gifting her with something.
The kids must be with Jon this w/e. She's noticeably absent from Twitter.

Is Milo really as insane as it appears, gung-ho for Kate in an abnormal and bizarre way, or is she just basking in all of this attention, not caring if she's known as a total lunatic? Kind of like Kate...it doesn't matter what kind of attention she's getting, as long as it's attention.
Just a few thoughts....
The mediocre are the teachers and professors who helped to get me where I am and never suggested I couldn't.
The mediocre are the firefighters who came out here in under two minutes when we had a small house fire (everyone and everything is fine, thanks to them.)
The mediocre keep the grocery store running and the mail going and the roads clear so I can go about my day and get what needs to be done, done.
The mediocre is my OH who works so hard at what he does, which is luckily his passion too, to support us and give us a nice life. Not a trip every month life, but a nice life.
The mediocre are the plumbers and electricians and architects and carpenters and everything in between, plus a very patient housekeeper who helped us get the house running and keep it running.
The mediocre is my dad, who has been out of work for almost two years now when his company laid off everyone, but has discovered a passion in volunteer work with the Vietnam Vets, even though he never served over there--though did serve. He's awesome and a great dad.
The mediocre are the pastors and youth group directors who helped guide me and encouraged my faith.
So, f you, Kate.

Judy K,
You got a good one there for a brother.Hope your SIL amd B have a speedy, full recovery from these health problems.She's very lucky, it sounded a lot like pancreatic cancer was narrowly avoided somehow.Healing thoughts and prayers to all of you;I'll add you to my prayer list.Take care. Sorry for OT Admin.
This story had me in tears tonight. A women paid off many layaway accounts at a kmart. She said she was doing it in memory of her husband who recently died. Thanks to her, at least one shopper was able to give his children christmas gifts on christmas.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/anonymous-donors-pay-off-kmart-222535611.html
JudyK, thank God your SIL does not have pancreatic cancer. May her health improve more and more with each passing day.
God bless your SIL, and your brother.
To add to your list, Admin: The mediocre are my father, who spent his life teaching and inspiring thousands of students and his extra time making music to the Glory of God; my mother, who kept the house clean, fed my father and me, found the time to play with me, teach me, read with me, and, when I was all grown up, went to work for a vet to care for abused, neglected and abandoned animals; the paramedics who saved my life last year when I had a severe asthma attack and stopped breathing; the nurses and respiratory therapists who cared for me, with smiles on their faces and love in their hands; my neighbor, who has been out of work for over a year but still refuses to accept money for shoveling snow for elderly neighbors; the sheriff and his deputies and the police officers who keep my town safe; the high school student down the street who mows lawns for spending money every summer; the sales clerks at my favorite stores and the wait staff at my favorite restaurants; all the posters here who care enough about 8 children they never met but knew something was wrong and wanted to make sure it was righted. We have many blessings here on this blog.

Is anyone else as bored with this woman as I am? This blog is a fabulous forum for conversation with a remarkably intelligent group of women but really ?? K8 is such a non entity that the only brand she can market herself with these days is a brand that demonstrates her inherent, self absorbed, malevolent, ignorant narcissism...Kate is too stupid to figure this out, she is just being herself… but her PR people are masters at manipulating the public and I for one don’t like being manipulated, especially when an individual such as Kate profits...thank you ladies for all your insightful commentary these past few years…What will be will be, peace out.

Good heavens, I wish the Sheeple would wake up! Here teenage kids are shipping Kate presents for her children, people are offering her coffee cards, getting her Christmas lights, and she's on Twitter bragging about how she is going to have to wrap piles and piles of presents every night from now until Christmas to get them all done. Why they don't get frustrated with her I have no idea, but I'm sick to death of her. And her fake, Jesus was our gift. Garbage. If she was really as Christian as she clams she would spending every night from now until Christmas doing a Jesse tree or other devotional. Preparing the heart for the gift of Christmas, not greedy little hands.

Do you say "trash men" or "garbage collectors"?
______________________
Neither one. It's "trash pick-up"
"Our trash pick-up is on Thursday."
"Be sure to take the barrels out, tomorrow is trash pick-up"
I say, "remember the story about Kate trying new jobs and one was a trash collector?" Gosh, that would have been interesting to watch, especially if someone left baked goods on top of the trash. What a cut-up she is.

I'm certain this Milo person is a professional mental patient. The obession is absurd and beyond creepy.
I thought about this Milo character last week when I watched Misery.
Poor Jon they listed him on ten most hated celeb's and no Kate..
@JeanneKaye yes. I slept so well last pm I forgot to set my alarm clock. 2days alarmclock name was Leah :)thnkgoodness 4 conscientious child 28 minutes ago
Wonder what she says to Leah upon being awakened? Why do I suspect it isn't "cheerful"?

Teresa, I don't know what that person is talking about other than the Stop Online Piracy Act, which hasn't even passed yet. But, Facebook and Google and Twitter are all against it.
Personally I would love to see a crackdown on all the plagiarizing and copyright infringement that goes on around the net including on sheeple sites, if they can do it without shutting down sites not doing that.
What I don't understand about Milo most of all is not why she is the way she is, but why in the world Kate is engaging with her so much.
Kate even tweeted tonight that she got her email and will respond to it. They're forming some kind of bizarre online relationship and why Kate isn't scared shitless by that person lord knows. I suppose it goes back to her boundaries issue, she cannot see any danger to this whatsoever.

She would blame the person the reported her and she would blame the police. And her fans would blame Jon some how.She never be blamed for doing anything wrong.
Dallas Lady said... (108) As for that guy with the picture of an erect penis as his profile photo, *I* saw that on MY phone. I immediately was like "what the HECK is THAT?" and then clicked on his profile to see if it was what I thought it was. It was!
So this BS excuse that her sheeple are spouting (for her, she doesn't give a crap!) that she couldn't see it being on her phone is just that--BS. I have an iphone 4 just like her. I saw it clear as day.
----------
The iphone 4 and 4S both have the highly touted retina display, so how can you miss a crystal-clear image like that?!
Sorry you (and anyone else here who peeked) had to see that, Dallas Lady.
At least Leah (and possibly the other Gosselin kids) were responsible enough to get-up, get ready and wake-up their mother so they wouldn't miss the school bus. If they missed the bus, Kate would probably have to drive them all the way to school in a bad temper.
What I don't understand about Milo most of all is not why she is the way she is, but why in the world Kate is engaging with her so much.

The only thing I can think of is, "I'm not gonna to be ignored." Alex Forrest.
Could it be that she doesn't want to make set her off because she knows that she is volatile?
If my very best friend in the world tweeted me as much as MiloandJack(FiredUp4Kate) and the other woman (Jeanne?) tweet Kate, I would be telling her to knock it off. Friend, acquaintance or relative, nobody needs to be asking me questions and making comments to me that many times a day. It would drive me over the edge, I think. I adore my friends, but c'mon, there has to be a limit to this for everyone. Even Kate must be doing eye-rolls over all this tweeting from the same people who clearly have NOTHING to say.

You're right about that. This isn't even "normal" friend to friend chatter. She's demanding, brash, obnoxious, a real wise-a$$, somebody you couldn't stand to be around for more than two seconds. You've got to be one naive puppy not to see that there's not a whole lot upstairs.
I haven't read all the post's here.I did see the BIO 10 most hated...and to see Jon on the list just pissed me off. Everything they said about all on the list would apply to kate. Like I have said before....the "news" needs a good guy and a bad guy.
kate sought fame...kate was willing to give up everything to get fame....kate didnt care who she hurt to get that...AND she still dosent care.
Kate ONLY holds on to the kids cause they keep her in the spot-light.
I dont read her blog...could care less what she looks like...dont care where she shops or where she go'es...how big her fat toe is...how fat her legs look in spanks....who she run's with...
This woman is a liar and a cheat...I have learned that from watching the show for 5 years.
She once had a family...A husband who loved her so...8 wonderful kids,,,That wasent enough for her.She was willing to give it all up to be famous.kate my DEAR you have failed!!!
"Yes, they did a snippet today on Fox News. She said that she wanted to do the same thing at Target and Walmart and they threw her out of the store because they thought she was just some nut.

It takes a special women to be able to do that kind of charity while grieving for the loss of a husband. I am happy that Kmart allowed this women to carry out her random act of kindness. I hope she wont be alone on Christmas. I also hope she can find happiness in her life again. I dont normally shop there, but I may have to go out of my way to do so from time to time now.
Christmas was spoiled for me by my mother. She would always go into a tirade if things were not perfect. It was the most stressful holiday of the year. We never knew what would set her off and it amplified when christmas came around. Now, I spend it with friends and family. I dont want presents for myself but I do make knitted presents for my friends and family. The knitted items are never perfect but they love them.
The bit Kate totally misses in the "doing it all for my kids" department is the difference between she and Jon. By exploiting them, she gets to wake up in a mansion, with hired help, free to sip her expensive coffees and search online for mention of her travels. By vowing not to exploit them, he gets to live in a 1 bdm rental and work 8 hours a day at a regular job where most of his income pays child support. She gets on twitter whining about a closet full of gifts that will take her days to wrap, he likely has to wait till Christmas Eve to buy 8 gifts on sale, if his income permits such. He has to sell his car to keep afloat, the show cuts her loose and she is still able to keep everything and more, buying new vehicles. He chose to keep silent about the children,she likely is now court ordered to do such. Did you notice the total ban on the kids lately? She is not feeding the kid fan base. There are no more pictures of kids at the bus stop, kids in the store parking lots, kids playing in the front yard. Her blog is not about the kids. She rarely tweets about the kids. In fact, she never updates her fans on what her kids are doing, or how they are doing. All her tweet pics are of inanimate things, like the tree, no kids in sight. I think Jon deserves credit for this, not her.
I wouldn't worry too much about Milo being a stalker. At this point she can't even walk.
I have a theory about why Kate told the kids that there is no Santa. Kate needs to feel that the kids are grateful for everything she dose for them. The kids dont feel gratitude towards Kate if the presents come from Santa. Santa gives the kids presents without any exception of appreciation for the gift. He gives gifts to good children so he expects good behavior before the gift is given. But, he expects noting in return for the gift that he gives.
Thank you Twit's Tweets, Readerlady, Jude, and Pink for your heart-warming comments and support and for Administrator's comments on the "mediocre" who play such important roles in our lives. As Readerlady said, "we have many blessings on this board."

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I wouldn't believe a thing Milo writes, and neither should Kate.
Milo could be a completely fit (if insane) 45 year old male ex-Marine with two perfectly good legs, and the ability to get to PA in a heartbeat.
All you, or Kate, know about Milo is what s/he says. Nothing more.
Milo could be king of the mind-games, and engaging him/her might be exactly what s/he wants, right up until s/he wants more. S/he could be nothing more than a very dull-witted housebound person, bored out of his/her mind. S/he could be seriously mentally ill. S/he could be all of these things.
Tweeting over the line, as Milo does constantly, is a huge red flag. Without knowing "Milo", there's no way to know how wrong this could go. That should worry Kate, whether or not she believes Milo "can't even walk".
Why in the world is this woman blathering on about the extravagant Christmas she is having for the kids this year. It borders on craziness. Does this somehow justify her harsh treatment of them and all the hard work they do for her all year? I don't remember her ever being so generous with the kids' Christmas in the past.
But then we didn't have her beloved Twitter where we get to see the real KT, the one we somehow knew was in there even as she was digging in the sofa for change to pay the mortgage. She is spending money like there is no tomorrow. The kids must think she has gone daft. I think it is an exaggeration for the benefit of Twitter only. No one could be that shallow, surely.
If what she is saying is true the puny Christmas tree will be dwarfed by all the presents. They will have to be stacked up (neatly) taking up the entire room. It would take hours to open the presents and hours before they got to play with any of them. The kids would be overwhelmed and exhausted in no time. Can she not see that what she is saying just does not add up?
What happened to her that makes her think she has to out do everyone on everything, even her kids.
Oh my gawd she's soooo insufferable!
Always has to emphasize how busy she is or will be. We must never forget how busy Kate Gosselin's life is! She's the busiest person in the whole world ( which I find odd considering she doesn't have a job like most moms do ).
I wholeheartedly agree with the commenter above about how it appears Kate believes lots of gifts and trips will compensate for her poor parenting skills. Her absenteeism. Her strict, military/prison guard, iron fist control-freakish ways. Does she really believe the kids will forgive her one day of all that just because she overwhelms them with presents at Christmas? Much of which were probably sent by sheep and she just wraps them and says she bought them?
You better believe that one day, when the kids are older and PISSED at what was done to their childhood ( and start talking ), Kate will throw it in their faces and remind them of all the trips and gifts she gave them. Hopefully the kids will be smart enough to realize she was able to give them these things because THEY worked for it and she made money off their backs.
I think it is the most insane thing that Kate is wealthy and Jon struggles, and Kate is ONLY wealthy because of the kids she shares WITH Jon! If it weren't for THEIR children, Kate wouldn't have a pot to pee in either. It's just so unfair how she has whittled Jon down to nothing...all because it had to be her way or the highway.
@dawnMhernandez def seperate. We do Christmas at home, same as always and they do Christmas at their dads after. It's the way kids requested
&&&&&&&&&
Throwing Jon under the bus again. The kids prefer their FIRST Christmas at home and want to see dad AFTER.
Hi Kate. We saw the video of the kids crying and screaming when they have to go home to you. You're not fooling anyone with your overcompensating.
Dear Coupon Cabin,
We decided to take our time and coupons and saving a load of money so that we could donate as much as possible to the needy. We used money off coupons and combined them with steep early bird discounts this (first) Super Saturday (Macy's and JC Penny) to buy 2 heavy winter boys jackets, 2 girls hats (so cute) and 2 warm sweaters for women. For this we paid $59, a savings of $279, or 82%.
I'm wondering if Kate can beat that?
Looking forward to hearing from you, but won't hold my breath.
Sincerely,
Tucker's Mom
*snark over* Seriously, we're off to our local Catholic Charities food kitchen and donation center to donate food we cleared from our pantry and a bunch of food from Costco, as well as these warm clothes that I hope will bring people happiness and peace.
I'll be checkin in later when doing my Holiday baking.
BTW, Pants and everyone whose family needs prayers, they've been in my thoughts.
New post up, I finally had to do one on Kate's grifting.
However, please dont use it as a forum to insult and bash Kate's hapless fans most of whom appear to be kids who don't know any better. Kate is shameless.
Oh jeez here we go again with sharing their holiday custody arrangements from No Boundaries Kate. Of course the kids were consulted; I think if the kids were consulted they would have asked to have Christmas with Mom AND Dad, what do you say to that Pinocchio? They must be having a Dad weekend since Manic Mom is spending her time twitting and wrapping; maybe she's rewrapping sheeple gifts in HER paper. Or out delivering mini loaf pans, if only I could believe suitably generous gift cards and personal notes are attached.

The last time Kate told us what the kids wanted, she told us they wanted her to find a new daddy. But sure enough, when TLC asked the kids on the couch what they wanted, a good half of them said NO WE DON'T WANT A NEW DAD. You can't trust a thing Kate says about how the kids really feel.
And did it occur to Kate that even if the kids told her they prefer to be with her first on Christmas, they are likely saying that at least partly to appease her and keep her happy? Because it's just not worth getting her all pissed off by trying to tell her they want to go be with Daddy too. If I were one of those kids I would hedge my bets on upsetting Daddy rather than upsetting Mommy.
Also, quite f-ed up to force a kid to make a Sophie's Choice on Christmas. Even Kate admits they adore Jon so we all know what their wishes are--they obviously want to see both, so the parents and courts should decide and not leave it up to such little kids. It's too much pressure for kids this little. When they are older, it becomes more appropriate. At this age, the adults need to provide them the structure and not force them to do it.

It may only be because of how she asks them, like:
"Which house would you like to be at first? The one with the mostest biggishest expensivest gifts from your greatest most wonderfulish richest superstah MOM or your always broke dad who probably can't afford more than one small thing from the dollar store since he couldn't even afford to pay for his car so I had to give him MY old BBB so you could still see him ONLY 4 days a month plus holidays.
