Stay strong, Jon. For the kids.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 966 Newer› Newest»In the real world,not K8's fantasy of things past, with spring break coming up, the family might be making plans for a trip, somewhere, anywhere. K8's kids will have to live with their memories cuz if TLC ain't paying, that momma ain't takng them anywhere. Which makes her nonsense post about packing even more ridiculous.
Kate's probably WRITING about traveling because she can't actually 'travel'. I't's just eating at her that she can't hop on a plane at someone else's expense...I mean it..I think she's going through withdrawal. She has to relive those trips in her mind because that's all she has right now...I love it..Ha Ha Ha...entitled asshole...
My father owned a travel business and put together all kinds of trips, many of which we took as kids. Never, and I mean never, did we ask him when the next trip was coming along. Our lives were about school, friends and all the stuff that comes with a normal childhood. Kate's kids aren't asking about trips, she is living in some parallel universe where grifters orbit for freebies. Her kids remain on planet earth.
Westcoaster...1
I agree, this is why I think Mady and Cara probably want to go on this cruise. It is the ONLY vacation they will get.
Otherwise, it is the pool at the orphanage all summer long. Remember last year. They did nothing but hang around the house until the RV trip that TLC paid for. She is one Cheap Ass when it comes to "making memories" on her dime.

Ugh, a Shoka diary entry...Shoka's groomer picks him up in his SUV and Kate is 'his person." I don't know what the point of the story was, although Kate said she used Google (LOL) to check the spelling of "skidattle." ?????
************************************************
Ugh, is right.
Actually, Kate wants the reader to believe that her brilliant Shoka googled "skedaddle".
Lucky Shoka...
Ah geez, that's a thought, wonder what she has planned for spring break?
Ours starts in a few weeks...I will enjoy 'my' spring break with college kiddies coming home (yea!), another kiddo getting ready for state team tennis (yea!), and the others playing junior high tennis....and lots of cooking and laundry for me, too. (yea!)
My life revolves around my kids....Kate revolves around herself. And apparently, around her long-ago trips. sad.
Thank you thank you!! Now I can relax knowing that LABELLING OUR FAMILY'S SUITCASES WITH OUR NAMES WILL SAVE ME TIME AND CONFUSION WHEN GRABBING OUR LUGGAGE AT OUR DESTINATION!! Now we don't have to stand there watching the luggage roll past us over and over and over with a stunned look on our faces!
I guess she left her ziploc container of "familiar medications" at the hotel when they were all puking on that boat!
Well, read the dogs diaries: totally stupid, waste of a blog.
Thanks to the person who posted the CC blog. First, you mark your bag or decorate it, to ID it. You do not for any reason put your kids names on the bags. Thats what ID tags are for. I read this a long time ago, on travel safety. I traveled to England with a big black 27" case and I used fabric paint and painted the case with smilely faces, peace signs, stick people. My case was the talk of the luggage thing. The reason you don't put your kids name on the cases is there are weirdo everywhere.
As for a medical kit in a container. What?!, A freezer size, zip-lock bag, less is best when traveling. Bandaids, pain-killers(tylnol stuff), sinuse/allerg, cough med, cough drops, tissues, tweezers, mirror, anti-batterial stuff, antiseptic, ant-acids. All in small containers. What Kate put there does not save any money. I think the owner at CC is a Kate fan. Just like this charity thing, coming up, someone there is a Kate lover.
Kate's chickens must have laid, extra, so the kids will get nothing but eggs all week.
I see on the View, Whoopie is off all week, which means guest hosts, guest host on Kellys show too. What's the matter Kate your good friends not calling?
I see they posted more pics of Tan-gate. Geez, what she do to her neck!
Geez, I wonder when she will complain about cleaning up after last night?, remember Valentines day after?
I guess she left her ziploc container of "familiar medications" at the hotel when they were all puking on that boat!
******
I was made sick watching Kate blather on about how 6 out of 7 kids on that boat were puking, and she had packed NOTHING for them. No crackers, soda, towels, shirts. Nothing. And she sits there perched on her throne, all wide-eyed and gobsmacked that kids would get seasick.
But hey, it made for a great theme for the episode, "The Gosselin Pukefest".
I can not imagine having to show up at school after the world seeing me covered in my own vomit and wit my head in a bucket.
What's with all the common sense tips on just about every subject? Are her sheeple living under a rock or were they just born yesterday. My 3 year olds can give this kind of advice...this is really getting ridiculous. Can these people stop pushing her as a know-it-all on running, meals, raising kids, packing(thats a good one BTW) etc etc....this jerk knows nothing about anything. Dear God..PLEASE MAKE IT STOP....I honestly can't take it any more
If Shoka can use google, maybe Kate should ask him the next time she is looking for info on chalkboards and triatholons.
I saw this tweet to Kate. It doesn't seem like she is a rabid fan, but I found it amusing. Wonder what Kate will think when she sees it.
@Kateplusmy8 what is the coupon website you use?
Kate's a twit: Kate just tweeted that it's OK for the dog to ride in the van/car, as long as he sits on the floor. Sorry Kate, my dogs, 2 count them 2 dogs sit up on the seat. I put an old blanket on and there they are. I even transport my bird in their carriers, on my car seats(I seatbelt the carrier in. OOOH, wait, it's dog germs and dog hair, GOD! forbid Kate get any on herself. WHAT AN IDIOT!
One tip l haven't seen mentioned here is to put your name and a telephone number where you can be reached inside of your luggage so if they get lost or the outside tags get torn off, airline personel can locate you.
But don't tell Ms Assolery about that tip, she might tell folks she had it in a dream once.
Another tip. My husband had his luggage tags marked with his work address so if the luggage was found no one would know our home address. It's been several years since he passed away but I still do this.
So true Tucker's Mom, another example of how she is the exact polar OPPOSITE of what she CLAIMS SHE IS! Organized? Plans ahead? Always prepared? Always thinking ahead?? My A$$! How could a mother of 8, COUNT'EM EIGHT kids NOT HAVE ANYTHING WITH HER???
Kate does not need to tell us how she packs. We got to see her packing for the RV trip. She was ripping tags, tossing items and stuffing fiercely. She had the twins "running" to help her. She snapped at the TLC cameramen. She looked weary. She whined to the viewing audience about every detail of the trip prep. Yeah, she was having a great and organized time. I have a simple tip for Kate -- try to enjoy yourself sometime.
Please forgive the OT; the school shooting this morning is in my area. I have friends with kids in those schools; we have a friend who is one of the EMTs who tended one of the injured children. One child is dead. Thus far. This is a very rural community, with many Amish as neighbors, a somewhat upper middle class area. My heart is aching for the parents, the teachers, the children, the first responders... I am off to church now; things like this emphasize how demonic Kate Gosselin's foolish ego really is.
Oh and by the way, these parents are begging for privacy and police from all over have gathered to try to protect them from the media. It remains to be seen if any of them will hit the talk show circuits, or beg a reality show out of this circus. Kate would only see dollar signs and personal attention out of a horrible tragedy in her community happening to her children's friends.
Yes, Teresa, I do also have a piece of paper in my checked bag with my name, address, and phone number.
Also when we travel with pets in our car, I always have some wipes available in case someone throws up, etc. I also carry wipes, travel size, when flying to clean my hands and wipe off the food tray in a plane. The food tray is probably more germy than the restroom.
Yeah, that RV trip. She packed so much crap. There are grocery stores and restaurants in the USA. Oh that's right, she and Steve took off alone in search of organic chicken to burn on the grill.
ohhh, one question, maybe it has already been asked and answered; remember when we were told that the TLC contract went until Feb 2012? and now in Feb 2012, Jon goes public with his Twitter...?
One more tip or should I say idea.
I always carry a travel tube of toilet paper. JUST IN CASE. These I buy at Target in the sample/travel section. It's saved my pride many times.
I just realized Kate DOES have a full-time job. It's nothing we would think of as a job, and it doesn't make her any money or win her any new fans or get her back on TV, but it's her job, dammit, and this is what she does: she tries desperately to convince the 200 or so people still paying attention that--
1. Her kids, who sometimes get to eat normal sized meals, are eating her out of house and home, and she's SO AMAZING FOR COPING!
2. The dog loves her!
3. She's a marathon runner!
4. She knows how to clip coupons and save money!
5. She puts together little parties which are TOTALLY AMAZING!
6. Her obsession with coffee is cute and endearing!
7. Her kids thank her constantly!
8. She can't get a man only because she has so many kids!
9. Her life is perfect!
10. She's best friends with celebrities!
11. She has LOTS of local friends she's very close to!
God, y'all, that's only a partial list and I'm (wait for it)...EXHAUSTED just thinking about trying to convince people of so many untrue things.
By the way, the Shoka blog entry made me feel totally embarrassed for her, because she wrote it for ADULTS and yet it reads like something you'd read to a three year old. I just cringed and shook my head the whole time. She wrote that ENTIRE thing about letting the dog get in the van. And her coffee obsession is boring as hell. Girlfriend needs to read a book, learn about things. I bet she can't hold a conversation that didn't center around her for more than one second. What would she say? Can you imagine talking to her about growing herbs for a kitchen garden or the situation in Greece or the latest thing in astronomy? Or ANYTHING?
http://www.infdaily.com/2012/02/exclusive-pics-makeup-free-kate-gosselin-keeps-the-loneliness-at-bay-with-tanning-session.html
INF has turned against her, hee, hee. Article below.
You know the old adage: the quickest way to a man’s heart is blinding his eyeballs with DayGlo orange skin. Kate Gosselin certainly has taken this truism to heart; when we caught up with the makeup-free mom-of-eight on Friday, she was heading into “Closer to the Sun” tanning salon in West Reading, Pennsylvania.
Just last week Kate was on Dr. Drew’s Lifechangers, where she was warbling about how she can’t find a man who’s willing to deal with the enormous burden of her eight children. (Because obviously the kids are the biggest turnoff, not Kate’s super abrasive personality).
Nonetheless, Gosselin seems committed to keeping herself as sexy as she can… well, “sexy” by her definition. Which means 60% as orange as an Oompa Loompa, plus some hooker boots. Seriously… eight kids. Gentlemen, look at this creature. How could you possibly care that there are 16 legs running around her house? She’s stunning. You must be with her.
Oh where, oh where is Menu Monday? It IS Monday, right? Even in Kate-land? Doesn't she want to share with us the secret of her over-easy eggs? The shade of her toast? Butter or margarine? After all, we know more about her coffee and additives than is strictly necessary, and our lives have been so enriched by her generosity in sharing these critical details with us.
And why, despite so many "fans" asking for this, has she not yet organized her wonderful recipes into a single tab on her site? Or even indexed the site so you could type in "recipes" and they would all come up? Is she really this stupid? (Yes, that IS a rhetorical question.)
They have the Kate plus 8 puke feast on. On super epic TV moments their # 18.
Don't tell Kate.
Pink: Thanks! Now I won't have to re-read Skoka's blog. I just skimmed it because it was so f-ing boring. I think she added the Google part since there were comments that she (Kate) should use Google rather than tweet her questions so the 'public' knows her plans...
All I can say is KT certainly was not kidding when she said she never got to go anywhere. Apparently, she did not get a lot of praise either.
Another super lame blog post by the not-so-great Kate. I thought she was supposed to be writing about coupons?
My eyeballs hurt from the number of times she refers to "I", "my" and "me" - she is in desperate need of an editor.
The most truthful thing she ever stated was "I need instant gratification" - yep, that pretty much sums up your whole life.
Shoka Diaries? Pre-emptive strike? Is there another dog-abuse story about to be leaked that she's already doing damage control?? Yes, the dog LOVES you kate, your own Littlest Hobo, she'd take a bullet for you!
Bet she wishes she had never kicked Beth Carson to the curb. She'd come in pretty handy right now. All this blog writing must be so exhausting ish.
"If you’re planning on traveling over spring break or summer (or better yet, this August aboard The Allure of The Seas with me, Cara and Mady!), here are a few travel tips that save my sanity every trip:"
Kate, dear, let me help you rewrite that sentence. "If you're planning TO TRAVEL..."
"with Cara (comma), Mady, and me." Wow, she always puts herself first, doesn't she? And the sentence is a run-on.
****
"I always pack the boys in one bag, the little girls in another, and Cara and Mady still share a bag as well."
LOL. Too funny! At least the children are segregated into three different bags. I'm sure all eight in one suitcase would be a bit tight.
****
"I pack my own kit personalized for our family in a small clear Rubbermaid container with medications that my kids are familiar with."
So, now we have the kids in the suitcases and the family in a "small clear Rubbermaid container." What a sight this must be.
NEWS FLASH: Kate, you are not a writer. I hate to break that to you. You might want to go back to something you really excel at...like being a mom. Um, I mean, doing a talk show? Dancing? Oh, wait...
Looked at INF pics, guess she needed to primp for her big appearance at the school play. Again with the phone, constantly. I can see checking the Twitter, but who does she talk to, really? My new theory is she calls her house and leaves messages, because she has no friends, no big deals, no need for the phone 'cept as a prop. Love the stiletto heels on her way to shake and bake.
TLC stinks said... 145
Kate SO reads here!
Anyway, did she ever even metion what part Mady had in the play? When my daughter was in a dance recital or play, we always just gave her a bouquet of flowers. I just have to wonder if Mady's party was worth the role she had? Sounds to me like it was more of an excuse to show off herself than anything Mady did.
####################
Wow. So only a child who is the star of a play deserves a party?
Wait Kate!!!! I don't have any girls!! Who do I pack in their suitcases???????
:snark:

"So we can look like were talking to someone bye"
Virginia Pen Mom - 32. You made me laugh. But, I fear that you will have a full time job if you take it upon yourself to re-write all of Kate's awkward sentences. Thanks.
"When packing, label suitcases with clearly visible names for quick access and decreased confusion."
So.....if Kate always packs "...the boys in one bag, the little girls in another...", whose name goes on the bags? :)
(I would think she wouldn't want bags going around the airport baggage carousel with her kids'names on the outside...most normal people wouldn't)
Does anyone remember that episode where she covered up the kids names with tape when traveling? Now she wants their names boldly displayed. Which is it?
I remember that. She made a big deal out of covering up their names on their backpacks. It was so important when they were still little ATMs.
Yup, I remember it. Like covering the kids' names is going to do anything when they're traveling with cameras and an entourage. Plus, the nation knows all of their names, and now the world.
Kate was concerned about covering up their names but not filmig them for the masses. Maybe she should have also been more busy asking who that creep named Bill was who edited her children's film as opposed to playing with tape.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I agree about the phone calls, its either her house or at the beep the weather today is......
Last week she tweeted her little "tip" about putting all her lists on the phone for groceries etc. She said you never forget your lists if it is on your phone. I thought this probably was in reference to everyone snarking that she is never seen without that phone in her hand.
Regarding the luggage: I find it hard to believe that Katie Irene would be concerned about waiting at the luggage carousel to pick up her luggage. Sounds a bid mediocre. I'm sure there were minions for such tasks.
Yep saftey be damned, she wanted nothing more than to be noticed as a mother of eight. She'd make a huge deal out of prancing them out in public and hollering their names out when or if they got out of line. She probably would have enjoyed it even more if someone announced their names on a loudspeaker so everyone would know the Great One was in the building.
Cow: I agree about the phone & list business, for public consumption. How did she lose her Target list as her phone is glued to her hand? And why does she have all those list scotch-taped to surfaces in her house?
Well now that we all know how to pack, perhaps she will tell us how to go about making flight and hotel reservations, as if she has EVER had to do such mediocre tasks. What is it with all her "Yays"?

Kate's travel tips? As someone said above, talk about phoning it in. Is there anyone stupid enough (including sheeple) to fail to label a suitcase?
And if you were? There are tags at every airline counter, as unlabeled bags aren't accepted for check-in. Oh, and even though Kate failed to mention it, it only makes sense to put a card or another tag INSIDE the bag, in case your external identifiers are ripped off.
Having never managed travel herself, she knows nothing about it. Her new life of hell is just beginning.
What Kate doesn't know would fill a library full of books. How has she managed to get to almost 40 and still stay so completely clueless?
I take the question back, because I know the answer. Willful ignorance. Since she's the only authority she accepts for everything, there's no need to learn from anyone or anything else.
Good luck with that, Kate, as you move on into oblivion. Your ignorance will only be exceeded by your bitterness in the years to come.
Hey Kate,
Suitcases come in different colors! Imagine that! There's no need to have your children's names plastered all over your suitcases in order to tell which is which! You could have a red suitcase and a blue suitcase!!!!!!! Or even a pink one for the girls and a blue one for the boys!!! Cara and Mady could even pick out their own! Maybe Leopard print! Amazing! And, you could maybe buy them online and use a coupon from a coupon website, bringing them traffic and business instead of merely using some duck tape from the garage and a sharpee.
Wow!
I wonder if this Cindi whatzername over at Alice Travel has a 'notice of cruise cancellation' tweet prepared.

Now, I simply find the whole story of the Gosselins to be a fascinating tale of greed and deception. I am amazed by how one woman can stir up so much emotion in so many people. Most of us have never met her, but she can surface such adoration in her fans and such anger in the rest of us. It is a crazy social experiment, orchestrated by a media giant and a greedy pair who allowed it to spin out of control. My heart breaks for those kids, not only because they have had to live it, but moreso because they may never truly realize how wonderful childhood can be. None of us can realistically change that for them, but we can surely reflect on our own parenting in the wake of all of this so that our beautiful children can benefit from all that we have learned.
++++++
That was nicely written. I'm not a mother and do not know anything about raising children, but even when I used to watch in the first season, which is when I stopped as well, I knew something was wrong and off and just not right in the head with the way that woman parented. Or treated her man.
The reason I have started posting is the same reason as yourself Momma-I have lurked once or twice and don't plan on clicking on links or becoming embroiled in the hatred on Twitter, but I like what people say here. I enjoy the well-thought out posts and the way people seem to stick up for one another and treat each other here. For the most part. What are they called? The Klovers? They get ripped to shreds pretty damn fast! It's a trainwreck I cannot turn away from when they come over here, all high and mighty, thinking they have a point to make, but you all put them in their place with the truth.
I realize that Kate Gosselin is done, kaput, Over with a capital O, but she seems to still feel inclined to include herself in the media wherever she sees fit: For Example: On Dr. Drew's show according to Administrator's blog post. And what was she talking about yet again? Her divorce? Now, why can't she get over this? Something that happened so long ago and something only she seems to care about and is obviously the ONLY thing keeping her-in her mind-in the spotlight.
As I said yesterday, if it wasn't for her constant yapping on twitter about her kids, Kate Gosselin would cease to exist.
*And Mommaof4, You are a blessing.*

I saw the RO pics of Kate, she sure has aged. Her skin looks sallow, she has defined lines on her face as well.
I never thought I'd say it, but she looked better with short hair...her long hair just makes her face look longer.
She sure has damaged her hair, at one time it was super thick, now it looks like limp straw. It looks terrible.
I am one of the few that never thought she was pretty to begin with, but she sure looks 'rode hard and put up wet'.
She looks every day of 45.
Like the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray: the more corrupt his soul became the uglier the painting of his face grew...
Dorian Gray Syndrome (DGS) denotes a cultural and societal phenomenon characterized by extreme pride in one's own appearance accompanied by difficulties coping with the aging process and with the requirements of maturation. Sufferers of Dorian Gray Syndrome may be heavy users of cosmetic medical procedures and products in an attempt to preserve their youth.
The name alludes to Oscar Wilde’s famous novel The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Oscars reminded me of the Kevin Costner convo here and his films. I was taking a look at his imdb info and remembered what I wanted to post here during the mentions but never did. So here it is: Since you were mentioning his me me me at the Whitney Houston memorial, I remembered that Costner was in the film JFK and played a guy who could practically be Kate's twin brother psychwise. Guess it wasn't much of an acting stretch.
(I'm late to the party with this post) Here I thought I was the packing genius, but it seems you all have some great tips, Thanks!
I also do the carry-on with toiletries on long flights because it feels so good to be able to freshen up after sitting in a stifling airplane after many hours. My girlfriend and I just got back from visiting her family in San Francisco and we had to change planes, so at our pit stop, it was nice to gargle and moisturize.
I used to hate flying, but my job requires me to travel more than I'd like to, which in turn gives me some nice frequent flyer miles. It's helpful to have good tips for traveling, so I'm always scouring the web for travel tips. Kate's tips seem so generic.
*Dom*
ABC: Tp is always good to have with you, when travel. Here is something I do all the time: when I eat at any fast food place, I take extra napkins(like 4-5), put some in the car, the rest in my coat pocket. One for sneezing, and two for: using in the public washrooms. Cause you know, one always manages to get from time to time, one toilet with no paper, or it has like 4 little sheets left, or there is no paper towel(if they don't have the dryers. Besides the washroom, and sneezing, good for clean ups too.

Hey Kate,
Suitcases come in different colors!
_________________________
LOL! I was just about to post that! I swear by the Kipling duffles. Each kid has his/her own - red, blue, black and aqua/green. Since they know their colors, they know who belong to what bag! It's a no-brainer. The girls share a Kipling multi-colored speckled on-board totes; the boys' are khaki. No labeling needed.
Kate is such a ditz.
Those INF photos are the same as the ones on radar a few days ago. They sell them to the tabloid, which posts them first, and INF follows shortly. She looks awful. She needs to cut that hair, stop processing it, and put on some real pants. Leggings are not pants. Camel toes are not ladylike.
I guess Kate can only write travel packing tips because she knows nothing about the financial part. TLC took care of that.
Since Shoka can google, I hope he doesn't google his master. He might run away again!
Hi,everyone.
Just here for a minute to say hi to Dwindle. I am so sorry to hear about the death of the child in your home area and about the whole terrible ordeal.Those poor parents, families and teachers/school kids. Hope it helps to know that others are thinking about you at this sad time and are praying for you all.Take care, Dwindle.Big hug.( )
Thanks Jude. Turns out the shooter lived in a 3500 sq foot McMansion on 40 wooded acres of expensive rural real estate. The county sherrif and other politicians are his next door neighbors. He attended a special school due to behavior problems. Bullying is not suspected at this point; it may have been more of a case of unrequited love of a girl he knew from the school bus, who was dating another boy... he did have extended bus rides; i only mention that in passing.
I mention his living arrangements deliberatly, in case anyone assumes that they have enough house, land, pool, leather furniture, and strict enough rules that it would just never happen near them. Oh never!
Most of the suburban schools went into lockdown around here, fearing copy cats or a coordinated effort etc. It's been a bad day.
This reminds me so much of Kate. She just doesn't get it. Watch the Letterman video and if I'm wrong, call me out on it - the swinging leg, the me me me, the poor, misunderstand star, etc.

RE: The 7 year olds breakfast.....I guess they didn't get that "bus snack" this morning. I thought they didn't eat much at 6am Kate. They waited until they got on the bus to eat their "pre packed, the night before" bus snacks!
The Women's Day article also addresses the issue of kids not liking what they are served:
"How do you deal with feeding eight picky eaters who may want different things for each meal?"
"Well, I’m not a restaurant, so I’m not taking requests."
And, she explains, real slow, for the mediocre people some new-fangled idea that the state of PA has pioneered:
"Wow! Do you have any secrets for feeding such a large family on a budget?"
"In our state [Pennsylvania], we also have something called rain checks, which means if a store is out of a sale item, you can get a voucher for the same item at the same price."
Dwindle, 64...sorry for you and your neighbors. Your post is thoughtful. Enough or more than enough of any material status does not prevent tragedy.
Oh my lord PJ..Right on the mark. Was it the alcohol talking there or was she trying to come across as looney tunes? Whipping her kids??? Was she serious? She was arrested for disturbing the peace last night at the Oscars. Drunk again you think? Wasn't she in rehab with Dr Drool? That leg kicking was sooo annoying.
Ex Nurse, that nitwit thinks rain checks are something PA invented? Well, what a coincidence, we have them here in Washington too! And we had them in Texas and New Mexico and Arizona when we lived there as well. How progressive!!!
Teresa, the reason I saw that link is because I was reading a news story about the arrest last night and I googled and used that link to show it was not 'new' behavior. But wow, it stunned me how much she comes off like Kate in that video: clueless and classless.
Yeah, what's up with women wearing leggings with no coverup? I'm tired of seeing camel toe. Don't they have any idea how gross that looks?
I hope someday Jon realizes that "...trusting others..." was something HE CHOSE, or, more than likely, Kate chose for him. But he allowed it.
I hope he finds a good therapist who can help him catch up in the grown-up dept. He needs a major dose of autonomy and what it takes to be a truly happy, self-effacing ADULT.
He has eight kids who will desperately need to learn those lessons from someone, and soon.
It really bugs me when someone who has been through something really hard and horrible insists on being forever The Victim, rather than The Survivor who has learned valuable life-long lessons.
"When the student is ready, the teacher appears."
I'm jumping with my opinion with 157 more comments yet to read (yay!) but my personal opinion of Jon going public:
Ok, fine, twitter, as long as you keep your mouth shut about kids/schedules/schools/etc.
As far as a tv personality- let him AND Katie Irene get (keep in J's case) real jobs and do nothign that even hints at letting people critize you. Those kids are affected PERIOD. I dont care if he has the personality of Dr Phil. Anderson Cooper and Bill Oreily combined.
THINK ABOUT YOUR KIDS in every move you make.
Dwindle -- I live fairly close to you (I'm N of Columbus) and have friends in the Chardon area. What a tragedy for all concerned. My heart goes out to the parents and kids traumatized by this. The local (Columbus) media are reporting that the shooter was bullied, at least in the early online stories I've read. Still no good reason for murder, though.
You mean a McMansion didn't make this kid happy? When will people like Kate wake up?
Oh, and I dont twitter, I dont even Facebook, but all this uproar over twitter....I realize you should be careful what you say....but *honestly* people get too wrapped up in it. Go read the Wall Street journal for a minute :-)if you don't follow it you wont' know what peopel are saying. This is in general of course, I ealize we post KI's for public record since she is the topic here.
And please dont dare EVER make this blog just about her. It would be the highlight of her "fame" so far and feed into her narr. head.
Great job Admin....enjoy reading here.
I tell you, she better, never, ever, make public any of the girls puberty issues. I swear that I will get a gazillion (thanks Forest Gump) twitter accounts and flood her with so many tweets she will be blocking until the rapture.
nj
Wow. So only a child who is the star of a play deserves a party?
*********************************
First off, sign with a name, Anonymous. Second I said in a later post that the party was a nice idea but I felt she didn't need to make it public. Every time one of the kids sneezes, Kate finds an excuse to have a party. Seems to me those parties won't seem so special after a while.
Any one else think she is announcing the number of followers just because she has more than Jon? In her mind that competition would be important.
nj-- l like the way you think ;)
nj - "blocking until the rapture" Very funny.
Dmasy, people are thinking she buys them at $17 per 1,000
Thanks ex-nurse, I knew those crazy numbers were out there somewhere but didn't quite know where. As my mother would say, she would lie when the truth would serve her better.
Teresa, if that is true, then she is even more desperate than we thought. I don't know how buying followers works. Would not be surprised if she needed to purchase fake friends.
Catching up at the moment but wanted to welcome Hey Jude back to the blog. Wishes for a speedy recovery from me to you.
How come the tanning pics from last week show her using the bbb? I bet she does that deliberately, doesn't want to re-fuel that fire by using the sports car.
Gotta keep up that super mom persona.
Kudos to the earlier poster who provided that old magazine article proving what she lied about. Pics tell the truth, Kate.
aggiemom, she was probably picking up her mail too. There have been many pap shots of her in the past, hitting first the tanning place and then the fire lane of the post box place to pick up all her grifted freebies.
'blocking until the rapture', oh thank you nj for that laugh.
Guess we can figure out why there's no $$$ for trips - she's busy buying Twitter fans by the 1,000's.
What's with the sudden' affection' for Shoka?
I always thought it was sleazy of Kate to return the dog ( or his understudy) and become 'Supermom of the World" or whatever title she made up? Those were Jon's dogs really and went back to the breeder when she wouldn't care for them...

ABC: Tp is always good to have with you, when travel. Here is something I do all the time: when I eat at any fast food place, I take extra napkins(like 4-5), put some in the car, the rest in my coat pocket. One for sneezing, and two for: using in the public washrooms. Cause you know, one always manages to get from time to time, one toilet with no paper, or it has like 4 little sheets left, or there is no paper towel(if they don't have the dryers. Besides the washroom, and sneezing, good for clean ups too.

Your post reminded me of Elaine on Seinfeld when she was stuck in a bathroom stall with no toilet paper, "Can you spare a square?!?" LOL
"Can you

She pays that much at least for herself and booby boy's weekend to NYC for hair, dinner, and posh hotel, plus Limo and driver.
After Angelina Jolie flashed her right leg time and again at The Oscars, that right leg went out and got itself a Twitter account: http://twitter.com/AngiesRightLeg
The Leg already has over 12,000 followers and I doubt The Leg bought any of them, unlike Kate.
If Kate were a truly happy person who had actual friends, the support of family, and if she even enjoyed her children by an ounce she would not need to be spending all her time on Twitter, glowing about her 79,000 fans as her "friends."
I do believe that if you are famous, you learn to be careful who you can trust, and who is just riding your coat tails. I am not even sure she's aware that some of these accounts might be just the same person opening more than one or people who just want to make fun of her doesn't make them real friends.
She has set herself up to fail it's not even funny anymore. If you complain about how life is, that you're lonely and all this other crap, get off your butt and do something about it. Go get a part time job, quit whining to celebrity doctors. Quit pretending to be on the phone while you go for tans in the middle of winter.
If Kate has friends as she claims, would we have seen pictures of her with them? Not that we need to but what I'm saying it that things just don't add up. All I ever saw was Jamie, who is gone, Beth, who is long gone and the only family we saw are not in the picture.
While a picture can say a 1,000 words...gee, so can Kate's face. I don't buy that you're even one bit happy unless you're fawned over in NYC by your paps.
I don't disagree that Kate's criticism and behavior is unacceptable--it clearly is. I just don't think that was what killed the marriage. The issue of her crappy communication skills, stemming from her own lack of social skills and self-centeredness, could have been addressed in couple's counseling 101, which of course! Kate would not agree to attend. Protecting the brand counseling with Dr Phil, preferably on a reality show series spinoff...sign her up! Save the marriage...uh, no, don't need that.
Any partner that veered off of Kate's track and deviated from her control, as Jon did, would certainly have suffered the same fate. Jon was immature, at loose ends and ripe for her picking when she swooped in, disposed of his current girlfriend and took control of his life.
She was hell-bent on fame and fortune, and, initially he went along with it. He must have been scared to death of the financial and emotional responsibility and probably didn't see any other way, aside from her plan to grift their way into a reality show and exploit the many supporters that gave freely of their own time and money. They should both be ashamed of the hoax that they perpetrated on so many good and charitable people.
Over the years, Jon's discomfort with his own complicity in the exploitation of his children became increasingly obvious. He has acknowledged as much--it is admirable that he admitted that. Since the divorce, he has been a model parent, and hopefully, for his kids' sake, he will remain grounded and maintain his dignity and safety net he has provided for the kids for the last few years.
From moment to moment, those kids must wonder: Which mother will show up now? will it be the neat freak mother? the anything goes mother? the withholding mother? the overly generous mother? the red-spoon wielding mother? the proud mother? the punishing mother? Barbie mother? health-nut mother? helpless mother? can-do mother? can't do mother? not an outside kind of girl mother? love to be outside mother? centerfold wannabe mother? addicted to high heels mother? sensible mother? Martha Stewart mother? Nobu mother? world traveler mother? twitter mother? pioneer mother? lover of all things Asian mother? time-out mother? contented with the simple things in life mother? trash my father mother? tin foil mother? crying mother? lonely mother? doesn't need anyone else mother? ignore your fears mother? cry in the pillow mother? penalty of severeness mother? super-organized mother? crazy life mother? wrassling alligator mother? hiding in the closet mother? shrieking mother? quiet-loving mother? New York Times best-selling author mother? doesn't know Teddy from Franklin Roosevelt? no never means no to me mother? do as I say mother? you don't know how to teach me mother?
Jon always seems to show up as his loving, mediocre self--providing the critical counterweight for that succubus that is their mother.
He. Needs. To. Never. Forget. That.
Whatever the circumstances, I don't think that there is a shred of doubt in each of his children's heart that Jon loves each of them as unique individuals. Kate does not understand the first thing about love and, sadly, does not appreciate her children's uniqueness and individuality. It will always be Kate first and that is why, whether in a relationship or not, she will be doomed to a lonely life. There is no room for any one else in Kate's World.
As far as those adorable kids go--she will reap what she sows. And, so will Jon. So stay tuned for the final episode when the golden child--the "leader and little helper", will be the last to abandon Kate?
I would say buying empty twitter accounts is the children's money well spent!
Good Lord will someone please get a trustee to manage their money. And someone who doesn't have a conflict of interest, preferably.
I'm catching up on my guilty pleasure Celebrity Apprentice and I have to say there is no way Kate could compete with these people. If even Victoria Gotti can't keep up, she would be gone week one. I think Trump doesn't pick people for this show who aren't willing to work their freaking asses off.
Is it a surprise to anyone that Kate's twitter accounts increased today? Soooo predictable. She has to maintain more twitter accounts than Jon.
I hear lots of sheeple are playing nicey-nice with Jon on Twitter. Especially uber-fan Paige is asking for forgiveness from him. I hope he's being really careful. If enough of them abandon Ms.Assolery l'm afraid her wrath will be taken out on the kids. I hope l'm wrong.

Those INF photos are the same as the ones on radar a few days ago. They sell them to the tabloid, which posts them first, and INF follows shortly. She looks awful. She needs to cut that hair, stop processing it....

Let's not give her an excuse to make another trip to NYC to get her hair done, yet again. She was there recently.
Kate Gosselin:
Top of the am 2u... Going 2c @JasonHueman 2day...Love&miss him. Hoping he is back from new salon in Fla by now.Miss his laugh& expertise!
8:01 AM - 10 Feb 12 via Twitterrific
She spends money to travel to a NYC celebrity salon and two weeks later her hair looks damaged with fried or dead ends. Expensive doesn't always mean better. Kate's definitely not getting her money's worth...even if she claims she gets comped or heavily discounted.
Ex-Nurse #93:
You should submit this for publication! Really well-stated and oh so true.

I can see maybe marking when you hit half a million or a million, but marking every 67,000?? Ha.

Totally OT but I saw this quote today and thought of the very smart women (and men) on this blog.

Boo hoo, Kate's been wronged. Kate, who wrongs everybody in her life.
I thought she was referring to acid in lemons but mispelled, but apparently she's saying people accidentally help her be better by throwing hurtful lemons because she's so awesome and makes lemonade and reminds herself they only help her.
Stand aside for the onslaught of praise and worship from her sheeple now! The unstated goal!

There is more! So far, 20 minutes after she tweeted this, 10 people have retweeted this tweet to their followers and 3 people have favorite-d it.
Admin, I think she's saying those who tried to hurt her, accidentally made her stronger. Whatever.
Someone speculated it's because she's watching all the hateful comments after that Dr. Drew interview. But......she put it out there AGAIN and didn't filter herself AGAIN and looked like the fool she is AGAIN!
Who knows what she thinks?

Ha good one chef! Now she's promoting illegal drugs on her twitter, nice job Kate.
Lemons aren't hurtful in and of themselves. On the other hand, if one hits you in the head, it would probably hurt you.
I think she's having that lemon with a tall glass of vodka.
Oh I assumed she was just misspelling acid like the twidiot she is. Lemons i.e. acid. Whatever, this bitch is crazy. She really tipped the boxed wine tonight.
Also, all this haters make me stronger--what she is describing is STUBBORNNESS. Which is not always a good quality. And especially is not a good quality when people have been trying to tell you for five years you are hurting your children, even your own husband, family and friends, and you refuse to change. That's stubbornness Kate and nothing else.
Ex-Nurse, you should change your handle to Ex-Nurse-Now-Enlightend-Human. I'll be saving that post, now to be referred to as the "Which Mom?" Post. Bravo. There are 8 children in PA with Mom-induced whiplash.

Kate, it's not about trying to hurt YOU and never was. It's about trying to help your KIDS.
Look at those eight little faces. It's about THEM NOT YOU, CRAZY.
Bill's Mom, what's even more surprising is that her Twitter numbers didn't increase dramatically today. A number of UK fans tweeted that her "new season" started there this evening. Aside from maybe 10 adoring tweets, the resumption of K+8 in that market didn't result in any noticeable increase in followers. Her number has been increasing pretty steadily at a daily rate of 120-150 for the last few months. Except for right after Dr. Drew, when it bumped up nearly 1,200 in a couple of hours. This says to me that she has a standing order of +/-1,000 per week. The bump after Dr. Drew was probably an additional purchase timed to pretend there's a lot more interest than there really is.
By comparison: Someone on Twitter just commented that Angie's Right Leg is well over 20,000--in 12 hours!

Sweet, line them sheeple up to be sheered!
Her phrase, "...the ones who tried to hurt you." I had to wonder, do I want to hurt her?
I have never contacted her directly with my negative comments. They have all be recorded here.
I don't think very well of her. I abhor her actions. I don't respect her choices. I think her fashion sense is laughable. I am bewildered by her lack of self-awareness. I would not choose to be her friend. I am irritated by her hubris.
All that said, I don't want to harm her. I might like to shake some good old common sense into her head. But, no -- not hurt her.
I've never wanted to hurt Kate either, not even emotionally. I'm scared for her because I think she is putting herself and the kids in danger by toying with her fans. I may not like her but I don't want someone ELSE to hurt her.
NJgal51 -- I never heard that. Still laughing. Gonna keep it for future use. Thanks.
DMasy, there's a difference in those of us who gather HERE to snark about Kate and those who twitter 24/7 with vocious and petty remarks.
Karma will get Kate. It's also getting the whacko sheeple and haters which is good.
The irony is the people who spend their lives on twitter trashing or building up Kate are neglecting their own lives.
When they get "hurt" they yell foul and play victim. But they never learn. Both sides are freaks with social problems.
ExNurse nailed the twitterers, as did Admin.
Hurt her....l don't know about that. I only have to think how much she terrorised those kids with the big plastic spoon, how they must have hurt when she hit them with it. How by her own admittance said she left those babies to cry themselves to sleep, because she had a 'schedule' to keep. How she left them for 4 hour naps. Oh shit...makes me cry all over again. Yes, l do think l want her to be hurt and no one to comfort her, just like the kids had no one to comfort them.
Schitts 128 & 130
It is a wonderful thing that you are able to rise above the fray and remain immune to the drama.
Well, I drank my fill of lemonade&I am weary...happy2end this day! Hoping4no more lemons tomorrow,but if so, I no I will survive &overcome!

Maybe lemonade is Kate version of tiger blood.
Buzz on Twitter tonight is that Kate is trying to work it out for all the kids to go on the cruise--with 3 paid nannies, and one paid KateWrangler. Party of 13, then, is it, Katie?
Unless most of those who have signed up do not do Twitter, I still count no more than 25, with maybe 8 to 10 of those paying the Kate surcharge. Could this be enough to get a "free" cruise for 13 people?
Yep, she read something and that something finally got to her.
But of course instead of reflecting internally, it's got to be about people trying to hurt her (she's the victim, don't you know) and her just digging in her heels and continuing to do what she does and be the way she is.
#1 reason why narcissists will never change: they're never wrong.

Thanks for the laugh.
Dwindle - I'm so sorry. I went to HS in Chardon. Not the public school, but I am quite familiar with it. Chardon is a lovely, lovely town. This is so very sad. One of the Columbine shooter's family was quite well to do as well. His mother's family is quite well known in Columbus. Sadly, yes, this type of thing CAN happen anywhere. It is unfathomable to me that our children feel driven to this to other children. Prayers for you and all those involved in this tragedy.
I challenge Kate to please tell us what other celeb has this many haters for no reason. No reason at all.. Just someone who has a large number of haters just because for no reason, and they are actually just lovely and wonderful. A handful of haters you can explain away as weirdos or jealous. But not in this number!
Does she not understand there is a REASON people have haters?
Cue jeopardy theme.
One of Kate's Twitter fans, someone who is allegedly signed up for the cruise, went crazy tonight on Twitter, constantly re-tweeting criticisms of Kate's parenting and behavior.
Very over the top, very unstable looking, and complete turn around from adoring fan.
This raised more than a little concern. Kate is playing with fire, and this particular one may turn into a conflagration of huge proportions. She may not be the only one, either.
Stupid, stupid woman. Kate, not the fan. The fan just looks very mentally ill. Just the person you'd want to be on a ship with out in the middle of an ocean.
Off topic, but Jean Dujardin, Oscar winner for "The Artist" was on my husband's plane tonight! He stared at his profile for 2 hours, haha.
Over the Top, maybe you have just explained who was the source of the lemons. I was wondering what she might have read.
I broke down and read the Shoka post. Made me want to throw rocks instead of lemons. It reminded me of a really, really bad board book you would read to a baby. My non-furry people friends. Blech. Best-selling author my a**

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
There's so much to choose from. She just came back on Twitter to say that she's upset about "real life" not Twitter, but "real life" could include anything - crazy fan booked on the cruise, she finally read the real life Yahoo comments, someone she actually listened to has told her that she needs to stop the dangerous Twitter behavior, or who knows what else.
She's been consistently avoiding another very aggressive fan who is on Twitter, timing her tweets around the fan's, and that is probably not going to go over very well, either.
Or maybe she realized that her hair was never going to ever look real again.
The list of things that are going very wrong in Kate's life right now is incredibly long.
Who knows who was throwing lemons at Kate today. Apparently something must not be going her way and she wants sympathy from her groupies.
And I really hope this is just rumor about her trying to take ALL the kids on the cruise!
I just read her tweet about having such a horrible day. I'm sorry, but the first thing that came to my mind was Awww, poor baby. Did any of your kids have to deal with a shooter in their school, or God Forbid, get shot at school today? No Kate? Thank God for the blessings you have. Hug your kids. Try not to "bark" a them.
Is that fair of me to think/post. No. I own that.

Does anyone find her, well, trite? Especially on a day like today where we just had a Columbine-like shooting. What happened that is so very horrible in wittle Katie-waitie's life?
What specifically in her life suddenly gave her lemonade breathe? Jon being let loose from the TLC noose? Mady having an audience pay attention to her and not Kate? No invite to Oscars/Kelly Ripa/The View? Celeb Apprentice starting without her on it, again? The delay of the Daytona 500?
If it was just that CJ person re-tweeting hateful tweets, damn, I'd hate to see her if she read those 11,000 + comments about her on yahoo!
I have a good source telling me Jon has had some big wins in court lately. And that is really ticking Kate off.
I can only speculate what those wins are, but I'm guessing, TLC specials and the sextuplets on the cruise.
Actually, if Kate hasn't been successful with getting the sextuplets on the cruise for whatever reasons, Jon or the cruise not going for that, and twitter has been talking about the sextuplets going, that will be enough to remind her how pissed she is they can't go and give her a lemon-acid day.
@pacearly (ha. I wasn't talking about twitter... Wish it was that easy to 'block' real life issues!) 22 minutes ago

She DOES block real life issues. If someone upsets her, she cuts them off.
Blocking is all well and good on twitter. But blocking people in real life (absent a real legitimate reason to estrange someone toxic, which face it shouldn't be necessary very often) is immature at best. It suggests a lack of emotional development and social skills in order to deal with real life conflicts and come to resolutions. Just block block block away. Don't ever face up to your differences, even if it's family who loves your kids and wants to be in their lives.
Admin, that would make more sense. Stuff on the internet, even the most hateful, has never seemed to bother her much. But Jon gaining a court victory? YEAH, that would chap her hide something awful. Opportunities to exploit the kids for her gain being taken away from her? Oh hell yeah that would get to her.
i hope Jon has won some legal victories. I hope Kate uses whatever has penetrated her thick skin to reflect...and change.
I know that I would be overwhelmed by the responsibility for 8 children.
I know that tucking myself into bed with a heart full of defeat and a head full of criticism would keep me from sleeping.
She can't avoid these heavy issues indefinitely. Ok. Give me a moment, I am feeling sympathy.

What happened that is so very horrible in wittle Katie-waitie's life?
*********************************************
Her coffee machine broke this morning, her kids ate more than one piece of bacon, she hasn't had any decent pap pictures today and the tanning salon must have closed early. That or Steve quit.
Admin, do you really think TLC wants anything more to do with Kate? I think their "editing" of her final few episodes constituted a huge F-U from them to her. If it's true about Jon finally making some headway, I'm happy for him.
Yes what pisses Kate off the most is when either someone else makes money off the kids, or someone stops HER from making money off the kids. It's her achilles' heal if you will.
In all seriousness, I really wish that she would be willing to get some therapy. A good therapist could help her deal with her petty stupid little problems and her petty stupid little conflicts with people. Instead of turning to twitter all night to lament about lemonade and get pats on the back from perfect strangers about how wonderful she is dealing with such terrible cards, she could actually get out in the real world and start resolving some issues.
The common denominator here is Kate. It's not Jon, it's not Aunt Jodi, it's not Ashley, it's not the grandparents, it's not Jamie it's not Toni. None of these people have any huge conflicts with others we know about nor did we see any terrible social skills or conflict problems when we saw them on camera--except when it comes to dealing with Kate. It's ALL Kate. Every darn time.
I do think TLC sees some potential to make a little extra cash on a few specials. They don't have to deal with her, they can just send a contracted production crew to do it like Figure 8. But if Jon said no, they're not going to bother to push the issue in court with Jon, forget that. Not worth their time or their reputation. They'll just make more Little People ones with all the extra budget saved on Kate. And this, folks, is what we call KARMA.
Admin--Nodding my head in agreeance---she is just nuts. When you are a running joke and the nicest thing that an article can say about you is that you resemble an Oompa Loompa, it is O-V-E-R.
What do Elvis, Meryl Streep, that waste of good land called the Grand Canyon, King Tut, the galaxy and "my Mt Rushmore" all have in common? Put together, they are on a smaller scale than Kate's delusions of grandeur!
And, like she said, she is gathering strength--like the zombies from Night of the Living Dead.
Administrator, I think you are correct.
TLC could squeeze rating out of update specials. However, they have an entire new schedule of "train wreck" programs that probably cost much less than Kate would require. She just would not be worth the time and effort.
She can cry and stomp and plead, but for TLC it is just business.
She does not know how to lose...yet.
There are some celebs that just exude stability and normalcy and incredible intelligence. I thought that when watching Meryl Streep at the Oscars. All her puppies just bark and they bark in an orderly, intelligent fashion.
And then there's Kate who looks just batshit crazy next to her. Can you imagine Meryl Streep doing a Skippy that non-furry human Meryl's dog blog in the style of Shoka? Seriously think about the absurdity. People would think she's nuts, the Oscars have finally gone to her head turned her to jello.
Dmsay, yes, and networks move on quick.
If it turns out to be a hassle to do Kate Plus 8 specials, they're out and they've forgotten about her within days. I doubt Kate's name is even mentioned there anymore, they're on to bigger and better things like my 600 pound life.

That CJ person tweeted for 20 hours, flooding Jon's Twitter with all kinds of insane stuff. She's been on a wild rampage since Saturday. She's going on the cruise. That is one mentally unstable person. Milo is the way she is, but this one is more of a concern. I think that someone was going to contact Cindy about it. I'm not sure that's the way to go. Cindy is all about the money, not security. She just wants to fill cabins. If there is as security concern, wouldn't Jon or Steve be the one to notify?
Kate has never learned that you just can't be nasty to people. Now it's too late.
Another excellent article by Sue Buddy...

I also don't think Kate realizes that not everyone in the whole world is going to like you. It's just a fact of life. But it seems to make her spew out random odd things about making lemonade out of acid lemons people throw at her or whatever.
As a grown woman she should know that not everyone is going to like you, not going to like working with you for whatever there reason. I don't say it to be mean but come on, it's out there. Get over it.
You can't make everyone like you. You can try but it'll me a waste of time. Just move on and be happy with the people who do like you. Maybe if she quit trying do darn hard to be liked she might be likable?
Sherry, thanks for the link!
Sue Buddy, another great article!
Sue, that article was well done! Thank you!

You're welcome, Bear. I'm sick with a nasty case of something or other, and bored out of my mind, so I have been kind of following this today.
I know we had a thread not too long ago about security and delusional, obsessed fans being the most dangerous, and Sue Buddy really nailed this one. If I were Kate, there is no way I would let my kids go on any cruise if this person were going. The insanity, and unrelenting anger of this person is frightening.
Good job, Sue Buddy. I just hope that the right people can be alerted to this. I'd really hate to see anything tragic happen, and I don't think anyone is over-reacting by putting out alerts on this. Much better safe than sorry.
Thanks all.
Here's a clickable link
Kate Gosselin, What Price Fame?
Thank you, Sue Buddy.
Given the details that have trickled into here about this "fan", is it just possible that she would not be able to afford the cruise? Saying that she is going and actually purchasing the ticket might be two different things.

I agree, better safe than sorry. You can listen to so much hang-wringing and moaning after the fact and then think maybe I should ask some questions before the fact for a change.

Considering what I think are outrageous tweets, it's entirely possible. We can only hope.
"Saying that she is going and actually purchasing the ticket might be two different things."

I was thinking the same thing. Is there any way to confirm that she is actually booked on this cruise? Regardless, there is more at stake here. This person could do anything, at any time. She has children, and given the hatred in her unrelenting tweets, one should also be worried about them.
Sherry Baby, I don't think there's a way we could confirm whether someone is going on the cruise but we can notify those who know about our concerns. It is then their responsibility to take those concerns seriously or look the other way, which is, of course, SOP these days.
Did Kate ever technically qualify for being "famous?" Famous to be says that you achieved something (Other than giving birth), you discovered something. Not for being on reality TV show that you shopped around because you needed money.
Kate's not famous...she's just infamous for her bad attitude and pouting ways when she realizes no everyone likes her.
By the way another thing about Kate's lemons comment. It drives me crazy when some people talk cryptically like that dropping vague hints but never actually telling you what is going on. Either say what you mean, or shut up.
What in the world would most people do if they faced that kind of criticism every time they turned around? Man, if it were me I would slink off into a cave, never to be seen again. She just goes and goes and goes. That is truly just nuts.
Regarding lemons and funny timing-a friend of mine just posted this on my facebook page along with a picture of a dozen beautiful professional looking cupcakes she baked at home!
...When life gives you lemons make lemon cupcakes with lemon filling and cream cheese frosting and share them with friends....
And that's how it is done Kate!
Regarding everyone has haters, that's probably true for most people who don't just live in their basements and never go outside. Sure you might encounter a few people you don't get along with as life goes on and you just sort of get over it, but I don't think most people have the sheer number of haters Kate has. All the non-fans not to mention people in her own life. I think in Kate's case she needs to do more than just get over it and move on. I think if you have that many haters you need to pause and take a serious look at yourself and your choices and ask yourself what YOU are doing that is causing such a negative reaction.
I'm sure Angelina Jolie has some haters out there, I haven't looked but heck maybe there is even a hate site or too. But she is not KNOWN for haters. She's known for being married to Brad Pitt and adopting and occasionally a halfway decent movies. These days, she's known more for that leg, lol! But Kate is known for haters. The FIRST THING people think or say about Kate is: polarizing. And she needs to realize something is seriously wrong about that.
when I eat at any fast food place, I take extra napkins(like 4-5), put some in the car, the rest in my coat pocket.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is almost like stealing. Imagine if EVERY person who frequented a fast food joint each took 5 extra napkins. This is why these joins prices go up or why they can only pay people minimum wage. To accomodate the people who take more than their fair share. This is also very, very environmentally UNfriendly.
This is part of a Wikipedia entry about an incident that happened a few miles from my home near a wealthy suburb of Chicago. At the time, I was home with my three children, all under the age of 7. The entire area was on lockdown as the search for Laurie Dann, the daughter of an accountant, and, for a time, a student at Northwestern University.
Following instance after instance of criminal behavior, including stabbing and attempted poisoning just prior to her fatal act of violence, this woman was employed as a babysitter for a family. Her family paid for psychiatric treatment and somehow escaped being institutionalized. This is a description of what transpired on May 20th,1998:
_____________________________________________
At about 9:00 a.m. on the 20th, Dann arrived at the home of the Rushe family, former babysitting clients in Winnetka, Illinois, to pick up their two youngest children. The family had just told Dann they were moving away.[2] Instead of taking the children on the promised outing, she took them to Ravinia Elementary School in Highland Park, Illinois, where she erroneously believed that both of her former sister-in-law's two sons were enrolled (in fact, one of Dann's intended targets was not even a student at the school). She left the two children in the car while she entered the school and tried to detonate a fire bomb in one of the school's hallways. After Dann's departure, the small fire she set was subsequently discovered by students, and quickly extinguished by a teacher. She then drove to a local daycare attended by her ex-sister-in-law's daughter and tried to enter the building with a plastic can of gasoline, but was stopped by staff.
Next Dann drove the children back to their home and offered them some arsenic-poisoned milk, but the boys spat it out because it tasted strange. Once at their home, she lured them downstairs and used gasoline to set fire to the house, trapping their mother and the two children in the basement (they managed to escape).[1][2][8] She then drove three and a half blocks to the Hubbard Woods School with three handguns in her possession. She wandered into a second grade classroom for a short while, then left. Finding a boy in the corridor, Dann pushed him into the boys' washroom and shot him with a .22 semi-automatic Beretta pistol. Her Smith and Wesson .357 Magnum revolver jammed when she tried to fire it at two other boys, and she threw it into the trash along with the spare ammunition. The boys ran out of the washroom and raised the alarm.[1] Dann then re-entered the second grade classroom where students were working in groups on a bicycle safety test. She ordered all the children into the corner of the room. The teacher refused and attempted to disarm Dann, managing to unload the Beretta in the struggle. Dann drew a .32 Smith and Wesson from the waistband of her shorts and shot at several groups of the students. She killed eight-year-old Nicholas Corwin and wounded two girls and two boys before fleeing in her car.[2]
(continued)
Dann was prevented from leaving the area by car because the roads were closed for a funeral cortege. She decided to drive her car backwards down the near by street, missing the iconic "tree in the road", but the road was dead end into a private drive. Abandoning her car, she removed her bloodstained shorts and tied a blue garbage bag around her waist. With her two remaining guns she made her way through the woods and came upon the house of the Andrew family. Dann entered the house and met a mother and twenty-year-old son who were in the kitchen. She claimed she was raped and had shot the rapist in the struggle.[2][9] The Andrews were sympathetic[9] and tried to convince her that she need not fear the police because she had acted in self-defense. Mrs. Andrew gave Dann a pair of her daughter's pants to wear. While she was putting them on, Philip Andrew was able to pick up and pocket the Beretta. He suggested that she call her family. Dann agreed and called her mother, telling her she had done something terrible and that the police were involved. Philip took the phone and explained Dunn's story about the rape and shooting, suggesting that Mrs. Wasserman come to get Dann; Mrs. Wasserman said she could not come because she did not have a car.
Mr. Andrew arrived home, and they continued to argue with Dann, insisting she give up the second gun. Dann called her mother again and this time Mr. Andrew spoke with Mrs. Wasserman, asking her to persuade Dann to give up the gun. While Dann spoke with her mother, Mrs. Andrew left the house and alerted the police. Mr. Andrew told Dann that he would not remain in the house if she did not put down the gun, and also left the house. Dann ordered Philip to stay. Just before noon, seeing the police advancing on the house she shot Philip in the chest, but he managed to escape out the back door before collapsing and being rescued by the police and ambulance personnel.
With the house surrounded, Dann went upstairs to a bedroom. The Wassermans and Russell Dann were brought to the house. At about 7:00 p.m., an assault team entered the house while Mr. Wasserman attempted to get Dann's attention with a bullhorn. The police found her body in the bedroom: she had shot herself in the mouth.[2]
__________________________________________
The recent school shooting, Kate's own erratic comments and behaviors as well as the crazy tweeters, combined with the insightful comments made on this blog, reminded me of this event. I was shocked at how many of the details I remember--it was absolutely terrifying and indelibly etched in my memory. The full Wikipedia entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurie_Dann
My heart goes out to the family and community of the murdered and injured children. With sensationalized 24 hour media coverage of school shootings, it is easy to become numbed and indifferent. When the Dann incident happened, the small weekly paper put out a special edition, with huge block letters that said:
"Murder Goes to School" .
It caused an uproar then--probably wouldn't even get much notice today.
Kate is playing with fire with her crazed fans. Unfortunately, she seems to be incapable of learning from her own mistakes, let alone from the mistakes of others.
Enough or more than enough of any material status does not prevent tragedy.

Prayers for you and all those involved in this tragedy.
2222 I don't think the poster needs the prayers. How about the victims instead? This is not about you, poster, it's about the VICTIMS. Get over yourself.

______________________________________________
The napkins the posters are taking are being used by the customer. It's similar to wanting a few extra packets of ketchup. I used to be a manager at a fast food restaurant- it as my first job. Napkins aren't breaking the budget. It's not environmentally unfriendly, either. Would you prefer fast food joints hand out cloth napkins- made from cotton that is grown with pesticides that pollute the ground and water, and the napkins require washing- wasting even more water? Cuz that is a better solution.
No. I would prefer people take ONLY what they need. It's selfish, IMO.
Are you seriously justifying the people who take more than their fair share? What a wasteful, gluttonous country this has become. IMO of course.
I've said it before and I'll continue to say it: Kate would LOVE a stalker or some type of attack on her or the kids. The attention and sympathy it would garner would be like kibble to her. I've got to wonder if every time Kate reads all the dire warnings here about it, she isn't using them to push the envelop even more.

For christ's sake Jon. Why must you engage with these people? It's juvenile at best. Don't sink to Kate's disgusting level.
Yes, I am justifying customers who take a few extra napkins, deal with it.
I think most of the drama in KT's life these days is centered around PB. You could see the intensity of their relationship on the RV trip.
If memory serves, Jon stated on Twitter recently that he couldn't stop the twins from going on the cruise since it is her custody time and PA law. However, I read that minors need a notorized letter from the divorced parent in order to board the cruise so I am wondering if he is telling an untruth? Also, I don't think RC would want to pay for 13 people to go on a cruise when it seems like not a lot of people have signed up. As for Kate, it is sad, really sad, to watch her spiral downward. It's a real-life lesson in psychology. Can't get anymore reality than that! I really pray for her kids :( Hey shout out to Aggiemom and DallasLady! I am a Raider ;) Miss Texas :(
Whyohwhy #191,....I am a Raider, too! (live too far from Lb, so kids go to CS)
GOD BLESS TEXAS! :)
For Kate to admit to some kind of defeat yesterday...it must have been pretty bad. This is a woman who goes out of her way to make everyone think things are perfect in her life. And then admitting it on twitter. Sounds to me that she can't use her kids to make money. This is the only thing that would tick her off so much. What's with the lemons and acid thing? She sounds like an idiot...BTW I love Karma...I think people are finally coming to their senses about this lazy, useless piece of garbage...
Admin, #149..
I certainly hope your sources are correct.
I don't know how long you have championed the cause of the G's childhood freedom, but a dozen roses to you..how you have maintained your strength and managed to still fight the good fight is nothing short of amazing. I think so many others would have tired of the whole mess and given up in frustration...you must be one strong, principled, caring person. I applaud you!
There are so many fine posters here, so many that believe in children's rights, the dignity that human life deserves.
My heart is heavy for the hurting, specifically the little girl that was literally 'run to death', and the recent school shooting tragedy.
Kate is grifting for free laptops this morning.

She is now grifting for laptops...are you kidding me! Talk about entitlement...and lack of class.
She acts as if laptops are spare change in the couch. Scrounging around for any we could find? I'll tell you exactly how many we could "find". One.

___________________________________________
She did that on Ellen a few years ago...it was her passive/aggressive Jon putdown, as always. Ellen told her she was "talking in code" and she (Ellen) had no idea what Kate was saying.
Love Ellen...love that she called her out.
Read on another site that Khate blocked her fave tween fan, Paige? Apparently she's pissed that she has apologized to Jon? Maybe that's why she's sucking on lemons, she must do it on daily basis 'cause she's got that sourpuss face on 24/7

I think Kate is famous how.?
1.Being a horrible wife now ex-wife-(we all know why & how)
2.Being a horrible employer-(Ashley and who knows who else).
3.Being a horrible daughter/sister-(kicking her parents & brother out of her life when they don't kiss her butt).
