Kate is scheduled to be on Today this morning on NBC. Kate twittered that she will be "giving updates on my family and sharing my money saving tips from @CouponCabin!"
Perhaps Kate is also hitting up an Apprentice casting call for next season?

Kate on Today
Perhaps Kate is also hitting up an Apprentice casting call for next season?
1017 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 1017 Newer› Newest»LoveMyGrandsons, 196 -- you are only thinking like any logical observer would. Your suspicion is well grounded.
But, she sure could use that refusal to win friends and influence Christians, couldn't she?
In my #196 post, I should have said that I don't believe Kate had those convictions; I didn't word it properly.
Thanks Griftopia, and welcome to Code Blue. In Kate's words "block the haters and join the fun"!
I think kart is simply a damaged person.
I took the time to look at the photos on her twitter (click on one and it takes you to a whole bunch of ones she has posted - dont know what that is called). I was so very sad when done.
You all know I don't like kart at all. This post is not in defense of her horrid behaviors in any way.
But what I saw in those pictures was a woman who wanted to be a perfect mom but simply didn't have it in her. She tried. She tried but maybe for all the wrong reasons. She tried to make all the little holiday specials for her children, the valentine pizzas, the easter baskets, etc, etc. But the efforts were just not quite right for her perception of herself as the next Martha Stewart.
Her efforts were average, mediocre; and I used that word deliberately. We have all tried to make little special somethings for our kids. Just like she did.
But the differences are:
1. We did it for the joy our kids would experience, privately within our family. She did it to proof how special she is, so far better than anyone else who is mediocre. She did it because it would show producers that she is ready to slip right in next to Martha; and she most definitely is not.
2. The spreads she laid out for after-play party, movie nights seemed reasonable to me actually. I hadn't seen the pics before because I didn't want to make the effort. Her spreads were fine. For a private home family get-together. Not fine enough for a cooking show host or a talk show host.
I think she was damaged somehow in her childhood and just doesn't think the way you or I do. I also think she may have never been exposed to the kind of family life she is trying to brag about now through her efforts.
I just felt sad after seeing the photos. I got the feeling she wants to be a good mother but doesn't know how, has no emotional connection to the kids and doesn't have any concept of family privacy. And, most importantly, has no concept of how inept she is and absolutely NO inclination to hear criticism. In her mind, she thinks she's just fine.
I think she was a marginal personality before TLC and the attention of the show wildly exacerbated the narcissism, driving it to the forefront and creating a more arrogant, antagonistic personality than ever.
I also think she knows she "isn't good enough" to achieve her 'fantasy' and that makes her mad and mean.
To me, the photos chronicle a normal 'mediocre' effort by a mother who wants fame and forture instead of the love her children and extended family, and suffers with what we used to call DHC Syndrome. DHC = Doesn't Have a Clue Syndrome.
The photos made me sad. She wanted to impress me and instead made herself look average. Average is just fine. But she won't settle for it. And that makes her mad and mean.
I'm not sure if I'm saying this right, but I hope you get my drift.
This woman, or man, or whatever, is out of her mind:

@SuperPattyPie @Kateplusmy8 LOL...absolutely! Couldn't U see Us tweeties givin Kate tips on how 2rock it on DWTS again! :)
Kate @MiloandJack
@Kateplusmy8 I like this Kate.. trending #4 on Google search! See...U do matter...& folks still want 2know abt U!
4 Kate @MiloandJack
@Kateplusmy8 "No one, in the show’s 14 seasons, has delivered as much drama in the ballroom as reality mama Kate Gosselin." NY Daily News
------------
Milo, you need to read the entire story. "Drama" was not a compliment. Kate threw temper tantrums and was not liked by the crew. They will only ask her if they are desperate!
Permanent Name, you have very valid points and I agree with your assessment that Kate is a damaged person. However, I do not agree that she wants to be a good mother, but doesn't know how to be.
I don't think motherhood is that important to her at all. It's just what she has always used to make money, that's all. I think she doesn't care whether or not she is good mother, she just wants everyone to believe she is.
Every opportunity those kids have had to let loose and have fun, she has aquashed with her yelling, complaining, and outright nastiness. Seriously, who complains about a 2 or 3 year old getting ice cream on thier shirt? That's a given with kids. Who threatens young children not to drop a bit of baking ingredients on the floor when making cookies or brownies? That's also a given with young children. Who can talk about all of their time alone in their bedroom in the evening when they have 8 kids? She chooses not to interact with them.
I just cannot believe that she wants to be a good mother, I believe she wants to play one for an audience.
With all due respect, I guess we will have to agree to disagee on this one aspect.
She's happy (yay!) and retweeting that she's trending on google? Holy cow, that Huffington article alone has 1700 SCATHING comments about her. Casey Anthony trended a lot too. Wow.
32 boxes of cereal. Wow. I don't where Kate shops for her groceries but where I shop there's always a donation bin for the food bank by the exit doors. If I was a millionaire like Dances With Head Up Her Ass I'd throw about thirty of those boxes in there. But nope, gotta rush home and brag about her 'find' to those importanat tweeties instead.
Poor Kate, living in the past. Must be tough to have all of those "memories" to look back on and no new prospects?

"Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end . . ."
She's really hitting the DWTS "remote possibility" hard on Twitter tonight. She really has no clue how over she is. Milo pointed out that she's trending on Google again, but she of course neglected to say it's because of all of the negative press/comments she's getting. For Kate, all buzz is good buzz.
Having to support her in this sort of manic, delusional state, day in, day out, must not be much fun for the kids.
Apparently her idiotic fans feel that any attention Kate gets, even negative, is better than no attention at all!
Permanent Name,
You make some great points. I too, agree that Kate is fundamentally flawed.
Whether she treasures being a mother in the way NORMAL people do, only she knows. I think she loves motherhood, the best way she knows how. Same as that she loves her children the best she can (same as she did Jon, her parents, her siblings, her friends, etc, etc.).
And as for this comment you made...
and suffers with what we used to call DHC Syndrome. DHC = Doesn't Have a Clue Syndrome.
...on a lighter note, this syndrome reminds me of what my husband says I am afflicted with...CRS....'Can't remember Sh**"
You great ladies keep on keepin' on!
:)

I agree that Kate is a damaged person. I also agree that she thinks she's just fine. I disagree that she knows she isn't good enough. I think that she truly believes that SHE was the star of Jon & Kate + 8. Since SHE was the 'star', I believe she thinks that the money she's spending was actually earned by her! I honestly believe it doesn't even occur to her that her 8 children (& Jon too, for that matter) earned that money. I believe she's mad and mean, because since she thinks she's just fine, she is eaten up with resentment and anger that everyone else is standing in her way of getting what she wants.
Remona
importanat? That's no typo, that's a new word. Like it?
Geez.
Oh sure, yay for trending, because you made an ass of yourself on tv a few days ago. That's going to lead to big things.
I do agree with you, Permanent Name, in just about everything you say. Nothing wrong with average, but the sad part is the presentation, the tweets, the photos, and the attitude that this is so much more. It is also obvious that Kate has issues with the way she was raised, does not take rocket science to figure that out. But, when ahe goes to the bitch mode, the meanness, any empathy I may have goes right outbthe window. Bad parenting begets bad parenting it seems.

And they are right. Bad press is better than no press.
Unfortunately for Kate, bad press doesn't compute to paying the mortgage or a first class ticket to 'anywhere but home'.

she finally looking for that stick?
LMGrandsons -- I DARE her to go to back on that show. I DOUBLE DARE her.
Permanent Name I agree on many of your points.
I think Kate is in over her head, but it has little to do with having 8 kids. I think she would be the same if she had "only" 3 kids.
She doesn't know by intuition how to parent. Where to turn for instruction? It looks to me like she looks to her self-defined "peers", the Hollywood stars who are on another vacation on Necker Island or in the Maldeves, and she says "That's how to be a good parent! Give them luxury and a trip!" She may see Star A driving a Jaguar to the shopping district, and she thinks "her child must be so proud that Mommy has such a great car, that must be a good parenting point!" It's all about how the family, and therefore the kids, are perceived.
If they look rich and blessed on the outside, they must be just that, and therefore they are being well raised.
Where is she going to get parenting advice at this point? Her mother? Jon's mother? Jodi?
Jamie? Other school parents? Neighbors? Her pastors? Truly, where else can she go except to the pictures of the Hollywood Famous and get a
snapshot of what parenting looks like? If she's got another source, I can't think what it could be.
Intuition is the best parental guide out there.
Places of worship, friends and family can fill in some blanks, but intuition about how to raise
your own children is primary. Your intuitions are generally strong where there is genuine love.

"I assume Kate's searching for a network show because she needs the money, but there's gotta be other profitable avenues she can explore. Seems like she and her kids would be the perfect "celeb designers" to work with Kmart or Target on a line of kids and tween clothing. Just saying."
==========
I guess the writer doesn't know about the defunct Healthtex line at Walmart. If they didn't want her, then who does?
Thanks for the welcome!
I'm almost 10 years younger than Kate and I stopped dressing like that when I was finishing my undergrad and that was only to go to a bar or night club! I get she thinks that is how sexy rich women dress, but she isn't even close. If she were truly wealthy and not fake reality show rich, at her age she should be wearing things like Tory Burch, Loro Piana, Nina Ricci, Michael Kors, Theory, Marc Jacobs and a little Stella for fun, mixed with some high end designer jeans (Joes, AG, etc..) and James Pearce and Splendid basics. And for goodness sales woman if your going to pretend to have class the Guess hooker heals have to go, try Jimmy Choo, Bryan Atwood, Loubitan, modern vintage with the appropriate handbag for a mother of eight children.
What just stuns me is that NEITHER Jon nor Kate took any time (or money) to go educate themselves in the entertainment field that they so desperately want to be a part of. No online classes, no speaking classes, NADA. Nothing to make themselves more marketable or even credible to the people in the industry. ALL of that time wasted. Education has no value to them. Kate's kids are in that private school because it's "the place for the rich kids to be." A status symbol. To remove them would be to prove the surrounding community right--she just doesn't belong.
Auntie Ann,
you are going to kill one of us with your humour - we will die laughing!
"If I was a millionaire like Dances With Head Up Her Ass I'd throw about thirty of those boxes in there. "
Perimenopause - I gots it! ;) no hot flashes yet - thank god! Just wish there was a fast forward on the whole mess.
I disagee with the poster (sorry I didn't check for the name), who said (paraphrasins) that Kate obviously had problems in her childhood. From personal experience, I can honestly say that if you want to change the trend, you can. It takes effort, counseling, and in my case, the support of a loving church family. To me, it is no excuse to say my childhood was bad so that's why I am what I am.
We also don't know if Kate's childhood was bad. We are just assuming because she cut her parents out of the kids lives. Maybe she did that because they disapproved of the filming? We will never know because Kate surely will not tell the truth.
If there were childhood issues, she could get help to deal with them. Many people do that for the sake of their families, especiallhy their children. I do not and will not accept the excuse that because of someone's childhood, that exempts them from their bad behavior as an adult.
Auntie Ann, I was still laughing about your remark and my hubby came in the living room and looked at me like I was nuts!
I don't know if anyone here is following the Iwana story, but it doesn't look promising for his former wife. It's very sad. He tweets info from time to time, with Kate in the twitter. Does anyone know if Kate has even responded, or acknowledged his tweets?

AuntieAnn, thanks for another laugh! I nominate "Dances with Her Head up Her A$$" as Kate's nickname of the year! The image I have is a cross between Kevin Costner and Kate in that creepy paparazzi outfit. Hahahahahaha.
Perimenopause--I had my hormones checked 1.5 years ago (late 40's), and found I had estrogen dominance. 50%(!) of women do. I don't know if that's all women or a certain age. You can't lower your estrogen, but you can raise your progesterone to get the ratio right. I use bioidentical (NATURAL) progesterone cream. I felt better, happier, more peaceful, and more energetic within the FIRST HOUR! No kidding. High estrogen = permanent PMS.
So check your hormones, ladies! My thoughtful friend, who could not afford the tests herself due to husband's unemployment, nonetheless stayed on me to have them tested. Wow, was I glad I did!
Re: grey hair. As I hit the 5-0, I have no grey hair and no idea why. I've never colored it. It's not such a great natural color, I just never bothered to do it. I did hear not coloring hair can help it maintain its real color over time. No idea if that's true.
Also, low B12 can be a factor in greying. I have very high B levels because I take a B150 vitamin faithfully every day and have for almost 20 years.
Yes, I know that genes surely play a role. I will say that as I've gotten older, even though it's still brown, it's gotten a weird flyaway texture that drives me crazy, as someone mentioned above.
You ladies who are experiencing "personal summers" -- black cohosh tea helps a lot. You can find it at GNC or just about any health food store. Just make sure you read the instructions/precautions first.
I'd trade hair with just about any of you here. Mine is stick straight (legacy from my Shawnee Great Grandmother. Rest of the family has curly hair), baby fine, and has absolutely no body to it at all. It slides out of clips, won't stay in a pony tail or a braid, and I can't get a permanent -- well, I can, but it never takes. Hair is straight again in about a week. The only way to give it any shape or body is a reverse layer, or an undercut. It is healthy and shiny, though, even if it has more gray than I want. I've had the same hairstyle for years and years, because I can't find anything else that looks halfway decent -- bangs with a side part and slightly longer than chin length. Shorter looks silly and longer is too hard to take care of, although I wore it waist length back in the dark ages when long straight hair was "in".
I'm not sure which side of the fence I'm on re KK and mothering. IMO, she's in love with the IDEA of being a mother and having a passel of children, but the reality -- not so much. I think she views her kids as extensions of herself -- well, she's admitted as much -- and considers them validation of her self-worth. It's a sorry situation for the kids who are pawns in her game of "let's make me the most famous mom in history".
LoveMyGrandsons -- I love reading your posts. It's clear that you are a loving, indulgent grandmother and your darling grandsons are so lucky to have you. It just brings home everything that KK has deprived her children of, unfortunately.
Auntie Ann and aggiemom -- you made me spill my iced tea, reading your comments about Dances With Head Up Her Ass! You both get gold stars and comment of the week awards.
I would post a comment on Khate as a narcissistic, sociopath mum whom I have no pity or sympathy for, let alone empathy, but LoveMyGrandsons and others have said it wonderfully. I think the only ones in this whole mess who will have a reason to blame their childhood for some of their problems will be the 8 innocent kids. Sadly, even when that happens Khate will see everything she did as being great and place all blame on everybody else.
readerlady, thank you so much for your very kind comments. I have no choice but to be an indulgent grandmother, I'm pretty sure it's in the job description! Lololol!!
Iwana met Kate at one of her events and was not impressed.
I feel bad for the guy, but his actions during that time probably put Skeve on high alert.
The guy may be doing the right thing now but that in no way makes him less of a creep.
Tamara, yes, unfortunately, I think there will be 8 kids that will need counseling in the future to help them move on. Especially the boys.
The guy may be doing the right thing now but that in no way makes him less of a creep.
*****
My question was if Kate has responded to his current tweets about his terminally ill former wife, not if he is a creep.
I don't know what happened when he met Kate that would define him as a creep, or if Steve was put on high alert. If that was discussed, then I missed it. I only know that he did meet her and she didn't respond to him after that.
Virginia, Grandsons and Bearswife -- ack!! She pisses me off. She's got all this money and yet she hoards groceries like they're living in Siberia. No one can tell me that she needs 32 boxes of cereal for eight kids. What is she going to do force their mouths open and feed them her organic birdseed until their sick of it? I'll bet her basement storeroom is stacked to the ceiling with all these great bargains she'll never use.
Virginia P -- I am glad to know that you take B as well. I take brewers yeast and dessicated liver for the full spectrum Bs and have for years as well. It does wonders for energy, skin, hair oh hell everything. I take lecithin too, which keeps your hair it's natural color. My hair is dark blonde. I tried dying it light blonde once a few years and my head swelled up so bad I looked like ET. I ended up in ER. I wanted to put a bag over my head. Gave the nurses a good laugh though. The doc gave me a shot in the ass with something and told me not to do it again. (it was L Oreal)

Something doesn't ring true with this latest crisis Iwana is having. I can't put my finger on it and don't really feel like spending any time looking into why I get this creepy feeling when I read his tweets about his dying wife. Feels like he's doing it to get attention, sympathy. I've only followed it peripherally as I don't look at Twazzup daily so perhaps I'm wrong.
Auntie ann: you probably were having an allergic reaction to one of the coms, in the dye. I don't wax my eye brows, cause I am allergic to the wax, I swealed up and look like a Klingon for 3 days, then get a tiny dot rash, it last 2 days. I get to enjoy my brows for exactly one hour, and half that it is red. Have not tried the string yet. Have used the little shaver thing, an slipped and shaved off some of my brow, use the pencil to color it in, till it grew back.
Jane, I think I can tell you what doesn't ring true...It was only 3 or 4 days ago the Drs. opened up his ex-wife and decided it was TOO LATE, there was nothing they could do.
She sure got over the ''operation'' quick, because today he said they were at the CASINO and having a great time, but he is still asking for prayers!
I almost forgot, he said he gave her $500 to play with. I don't know whether to laugh or cry....
anger issues -- You were a Klingon too huh? lol!! That's what my kids called me. It was definitely an allergic reaction. Very uncomfortable right at Xmas time. Too bad it wasn't halloween I would have won a few prizes.
What is the string?

Exactly! I had a friend who had surgery for an abdominal cancer. She was in the hospital for 5 days and could barely walk for another 5. Even if his wife "was opened up and closed up quickly", as he said, they doctor's still dig around.
Also, pre-operative testing (PET, CT scans and MRIs) give doctors a good idea of where cancer is and where it's spread. I just don't see them eating at Olive Garden and gambling a few days post-surgery. Maybe if she had a skin lesion removed for melanoma? Or a few lymph nodes removed? Then I could see a quicker recovery. He just strikes me as so whiny and needy.
This Milo person is a nut job. Her slobbering knows no bounds. Here's a creepy twat about Kate's veggie shopping: Un-effing-believable.
2b a privileged kid in Kate's house...sit back&let mommy prepare the best ever food..feed me..make me strong...make me healthy!
When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you!!
&&&
What "bad" thing happened to her? My goodness. As far as I can tell she's had a charmed life.
I avoid Kate's tweets like the plague. When I read Gosselin Twitter feed, I'd specify "@KatePlus...". So many lies, unless Blocked.
Some may say... sitting in your bedroom alone (presumably), for 3+ years with a box of Franzia Chard and Twitter.com is not a charmed life. The saying here about Karma jimmying the door open, and sitting down for high Tea sure comes to mind. Boo... double-hoo!
(Sorry if it's been said), but on the the Today Show- when Kart was aired after the Orange Mom? Classic. Rest in peace... @WhysMommyOrange
Sheesh..Android phone. Please read through typos..hanging head..but calling kurdish salon..thanks for reminder...I LOVE this blog=)
These kids have been used to travelling in a way most other children have never been able to experience. They were taken to the front of the lines at any amusement park they visited, whisked quickly into VIP areas. stayed in huge hotel suites, and observed sporting events from either the front row or in luxury sky boxes. One has to wonder how they would respond to vacationing the way most of the rest of the world does, and Kate probably is wondering the same thing. When she says the kids are asking "when are we gonna go here or there, we miss the crew" what she really means is that she herself misses the crew of people and all the perks that went with them. Face it Kate, you're part of the mediocre masses now and from this point forward have to travel on a budget. Now there's an idea for her blog!
Buying all of that cereal is just another form of near Grifting.
When I see a super sale, I always think of other people before I buy. I found shampoo once, bundled with conditioner for less than 1 dollar. I bought two. One for upstairs and one for main floor bath. I DID NOT buy 10 bundles, even though shampoo doesn't go bad.
Save some for the rest of the population. I even felt that buying the two since we can more than afford regular price! There are people out that that would NEED to find cereal for .99 cents. Kart is not one of them.
he vege chopper is off 2sleep..Think I'll have visions of sugar snap peas dancing in my head! GN guys!Thanks for your cont love&support! about 9 hours ago
-----
Would one of her fans please tell her 'vege' is incorrect? Gee, I thought Jon was the one who had problem with 'vocab', as Kate likes to say.
And what almost 40 yr old talks like this? visions of peas dancing in my head?how old is she, 7?
Give it up, Kate. It's funny how her tweets and her 'vocab' on her realist of reality shows don't agree. She NEVER spewed such sugary sweet nonsense on the show.
UGH!
As I recall the "Iwana meets Kate" story, he mentioned meeting Steve as well as Kate, said Steve was very nice. He tweeted a few times right after to Kate, complimenting her, praising her for her "charitable" work, etc. After that meeting, she has never tweeted him again. I don't know why he continues to include her in his tweets, he responds directly to many of the people (fans and nonfans alike) who have come to his support over the sick ex-wife. Although he hasn't been specific, it sounded to me like the ex may have pancreatic cancer, which is difficult to diagnose without exploratory surgery. I agree, though, it seems very odd that a few days after an operation he is taking her to a casino. So hard sometimes to judge what's real on Twitter.
One thing is for sure, though: milo is a REAL sycophant, her tweets praising Kate for her stellar mothering skills and love for her children just get more and more ridiculous, to the point that they sound like she is parodying Kate, not praising her. She needs to get a grip.
Her San Diego half marathon run is 5/3. She certainly isn't talking about her training or travels. If she is a spokesman for the Rock n' Roll franchise, she does not have much to say -- yet.
Mom of 8 who lives in PA. Why isn't she running in local events?
So much of what she does makes no sense.
I don't do Twitter or Facebook. I don't understand making your life so public. And this discussion about some Iwanna person is not worth exploring since it is probably all made up anyway. As far as I can see, unless you personally know who you are in contact with, it's risky because of fakery. And nut jobs.
I think the backlash that was exhibited in the Huff Post article may show the tipping point for the public in regards to these no-talent skank reality personalities. Kate stepped in it by pleading for another reality show.
I think it makes complete sense...everything she does benefits HER. She will only do marathons whereshe can travel to beautiful places and when she finds a sucker to pay for her trips. Why in the world would she do anything locally? Thats not exciting to her...or worthy of her stardom. It's all about ME ME ME ME ME and nobody else but me....either its a glamorous affair or its not even worth showing up/. So don't you dare bother her if it doesn't comform to her idea of what she wants
Wow, today Kate comments she is glad Collin is not 'dense' like he was a as toddler, but is 'healthy' because he is so thin.She really is warped in her views of health related to weight.
"Dense' is a poor word choice here, and did she ever think he is thin due to under-eating ( or our other theory?)If she posts their photos, she will get comments on their appearance and come up with her crazy theories and remarks. Poor kids.
Here is a question... Isn't M&C's birthday in October?
Why does Kate always say they are 11 almost 12? She has been saying this since March when the cruisers would ask how old they are, and now she just tweeted someone else. What is wrong with being 11. She is just not normal.
@XXXXXXX...8 and 11 almost 12
Auntie Ann... You are hilarious! DWHUHA
Ladies: OT, so separate post. I am getting very apprehensive about this whole perimenopause/menopause stuff. I have the few grey 'weeds' and summer frizzy hair, so I must be approaching! My mother's hot flashes were bad- red face, sweaty, anxious. My friend had to stick her head in the freezer and change her nightgown. As for HRT, I guess it's too risky. I was glad to hear there are plenty of natural remedies. And I will have my hormone levels tested. Thanks, everyone! I love how we can all share information on unrelated topics. and with a good laugh here and there !
And Welcome, Blue Code, and Griftopia- love your posts!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Odd indeed. Iwana's ex (or have they remarried alerady?) was opened up on Monday, the doctor said there was nothing that could be done and closed. By Tuesday (the next day-not a few days) they were at mall in Rochester where she shopped for 4 hours, then they went to Olive Garden for dinner and then a casino.
I hate to sound critical if it's all true, but his behavior on Twitter has been odd from day one.
Kate's whole Twitter page is beginning to sound like a soap opera. There's Milo with osteonecrosis, the BHappy woman who has the gigantic hole in her heart who also requires quadruple bypass surgery but there have been papaerwork mixups and now she's specifying certain doctors, Nickie who is the mother of 3 and needs a new heart and only has two years to live and now Iwana.
Nickie came onto Kate's twitter like gangbusters as though she knew everyone from a previous life, made the tweeties her best friends and stated she was opening new stores of some kind and offered to fly her new tweetie friends to Calif. to help her decorate one of the stores.
It's all getting weird. And if this isn't a perfect reason why "celebs" shouldn't interact with complete strangers on the internet I don't know what is.
I viewed the videos of her appearances on both Today and IE. Does Kate even realize how pathetic she came across?
She says the kids miss the show, the crew, the travelling. So again, she's using the kids to try to get SHE wants. She is basically saying "my kids NEED a show-look how heartbroken they are."
She's still exploiting the kids-even though they're not filming any more, she's using them as an excuse for someone to give them a show. And she'll keep playing the "kid card" over and over.
I don't believe a word she says about how the kids feel about not having a show. She just makes up things in her head as to how she think the kids feel.
Maybe her 32 box cereal purchase is for the kid's summer breakfasts, that way they can feed themselves in the morning so Kate can sleep in.
What great planning, Kate! Did you use your label maker, ya know, 4 boxes for each kid?
Kate's the queen of cheap, apparently always has been.
And what mom has time to tweet every night after the kiddos are in bed? You would think that the kitchen needs to be cleaned, breakfast stuff readied for the morning, trash taken out, and a few loads of laundry need to be addressed.
Nope, not Kate!
She never tweets about cleaning bathrooms, the kid's rooms, cleaning floors, or doing yardwork. Guess this is all done by the hired help. She doesn't even take the dog to the vet!
And what happened to her organic seedlings? Gee Kate, show us a pic please!
And her chickens are in the barn now? And who the heck put them there???
What DOES she do all day? I'm being serious..besides drink coffee, WHAT??
Permanent Name #2--Wow, that was so insightful. Beautifully said. I wish I had said it.
Got so much going on and just now trying to catch up.
I know, Kate rarely tweets about social things with mediocre friends- except the one she served the veggie burger to- or going to volunteer (ha!) or hobby/craft activities, exercise class, anything, let alone housework. It's just running, cooking, BBB-ing, paperwork,-right. And coffee.
Oh and Twitter, her lifeline.

Wow, today Kate comments she is glad Collin is not 'dense' like he was a as toddler, but is 'healthy' because he is so thin.She really is warped in her views of health related to weight.
"Dense' is a poor word choice here, and did she ever think he is thin due to under-eating ( or our other theory?)If she posts their photos, she will get comments on their appearance and come up with her crazy theories and remarks. Poor kids.

Here's the whole segment from last night:
tavi @taviiso
@Kateplusmy8 Collin is so thin
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8
@taviiso no-- he grew a lot suddenly and thinned out!
tavi @taviiso
@Kateplusmy8 really! Makes me feel better. I believe in 'healthy' kids and seems like he'd be more dense from The way he was as baby/tot
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Kate didn't say anything about being glad he isn't dense like he was as a toddler. One of her fans used the word "dense" and she should be using it on herself. She later tweeted that she hopes Kate gets "residues" from reruns.
Yeah, the Twitter dramas are bizarre. The BHappy person is online all day long, even though she stated four weeks ago how dire her health issues were. If that were true, why wouldn't this surgery get done on an emergency basis? Two weeks ago she had found "the top" doctors for her surgery, now she's saying that her insurance won't cover them and she's doctor shopping? She also claims her son is very wealthy and that they are a very close family, so why wouldn't he step in and pay for what she needs and fight for insurance later? Her stories are simply unbelievable. Yes, there is a lot more fiction on Twitter than fact, but Kate doesn't care as long as her ego is being stroked.
No, Kate doesn't get it. She did NOTHING to promote the new CC product despite being featured on two different TV programs. Why would this company continue to employ her? It really is beyond belief.
As far as running marathons close to home, that would defeat the purpose. Her ONLY objective with these "events" is to get AWAY from her kids and enjoy her 5-star time with Steve. Since she has no other prospects that enable her to do that at the moment, the marathon has become her escape route. She pretends to be a committed runner, but as someone noted above, this is just one of many personas that are being floated as trial balloons. If no one is willing to pay the big bucks for this version of Kate, she'll keep looking for one that someone will underwrite. She will do ANYTHING not to return to the life of an average middle-class mother. ANYTHING.
Aggiemom....
What do you mean, what does she do all day!? She showed you in pictures yesterday. In 9 hours, while the kids are gone, she shops for veggies, cuts up the ones she needs for HER salad and then puts out paper plates for her kids to "get busy" snapping peas right when they get out of school. She is a busy, busy woman.
Chiming in RE: Hot flashes & frizzy hair -
I started with night sweats during perimenopause, I don't remember having a flash during the day. Had to change pjs, go sleep the rest of the night in the basement (cooler). My mother swears by visualization techniques (picture yourself standing with your feet in the ocean on the coast of Maine...), I swear by rubbing ice on your feet!
Since "graduating" to menopause, I rarely have night sweats, but hot flashes are starting to creep into my life. Like someone flips a switch. I eat soy daily, but it does not seem to be doing anything (unless I am minimizing my flashes without knowing it!).
Frizzy hair - I have thick, coarse curly/wavy hair (not quite shoulder length) that I have been coloring at home for 5 or 6 years. I use the flat iron to tame it, and, during the winter I can get away with only washing it twice a week. My hair did not change with menopause - it has always been unruly. Gray has always come in like wire on me. There are a lot of products available to put on styled hair to keep humidity out, but products are rather individual - what I like may not work for you. My current favorite is Schwarzkopf Osis Magic. It comes in a 1.7 oz pump, you use a little tiny pea sized bit rubbed between your palms, then run your hands over/through your hair. Our humidity has been 85% and up the past few days, am still smooth (even after a shower).
Aggiemom, I can tell you what she does all day:
She RETWEETS positive feedback from her teenage and/or delusional followers.
My gawd, she's pathetic.
Long-time lurker about to give up all reading about KG and family. What has helped me to give up the teeth-gnashing aggravation of the reports of her behavior, appearances, speculation about her sex life, parenting, finances, etc etc etc? Why, it was all posted here on 9/17/2010. Carrieann Inaba had her number early on with only minimal contact.
Carrie Ann Inaba is finally letting loose about how she really felt about Kate. And it's not pretty. Seems the DWTS judge has realized that Kate is a narcissist. Welcome aboard. Suppose Carrie Ann is just jealous?
On Kate's dancing: "Why do we have to go back there? That was so horrible!"
On remembering Kate's name: "Um, um, um, um, what's her name?"
On what she was thinking when Kate was dancing: "What on earth am I gonna say that is possibly gonna be positive?... It was really hard because she sort of is unaware of herself in a way that I've never seen before on our show. Like most performers have a little bit of self-awareness, she had none, so it was bizarre because she thought she was good."
Said Sarah Bernard, "She doesn't have any talent."
***Now doesn't this just explain everything annoying about this woman? NO SELF-AWARENESS.
Oh jeez another day of Manic Mommy tweeting, today she's about to put on her Superwoman cape to tackle her day. Note to K8, you have 8 kids who are away 9 hours a day, no job and hired help. You are no Superwoman, in spite of what nutjob Milo thinks.
And while it's true she won't pay to take her kids ANYWHERE, I also think she herself will not go places as a normal person, that is without VIP treatment - head of the line, special hours, boxes, security, etc. Again, and always, it is about her. Kids miss 'fill in the blank here' - K8 misses it more, kids will never do anything again.
@Kateplusmy8 really! Makes me feel better. I believe in 'healthy' kids and seems like he'd be more dense from The way he was as baby/tot
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I took the 'makes me feel better" as glad he isn't as 'dense' lol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks to everyone with info on hot flashes/frizzy hair! anyone read The Hot Flash Club books by Nancy Thayer- light reads and very funny.
Kate Doesn't Rate, 57 -- everyday I get a really good laugh from reading here. Today (so far) it is your report of the tweeter who hopes Kate is receiving "residues" from the re-runs. Thanks for sharing.
I wonder when we'll start hearing that all the houses in BHI were booked for the summer. I imagine she'll try to use the excuse of "oh, but we were going on the cruise," but that doesn't answer the question of whether the tups get any "vacation" off the Konpound. I am waiting for the question to be asked on Twitter, you know how her fans love to bring up all those "Gosselin traditions."
I haven't really followed the Iwana saga, escept for what's posted here, and the few times he posted here a year or so ago. Perhaps the ill ex-wife's surgery was laparascopic? If so, recovery time is minimal. My best friend had her gallbladder removed laparascopically on Friday morning, was home by afternoon, did some yard work on Saturday, and was back to work on Monday.
Hahaha, I just caught Kathy Griffin on E mocking Kate's paparazzi dance on DWTS. Hysterical.

Kate didn't say that. The fan did. Sorry I'm being anal about that, but there's no need in having people saying Kate said things that she didn't.
Dmasy, yes the fans keep me coming back! They never fail to amuse.

agree with your assessment that Kate is a damaged person. However, I do not agree that she wants to be a good mother, but doesn't know how to be.
I don't think motherhood is that important to her at all. It's just what she has always used to make money, that's all. I think she doesn't care whether or not she is good mother, she just wants everyone to believe she is.
Seriously, who complains about a 2 or 3 year old getting ice cream on thier shirt? That's a given with kids. Who threatens young children not to drop a bit of baking ingredients on the floor when making cookies or brownies? That's also a given with young children. Who can talk about all of their time alone in their bedroom in the evening when they have 8 kids? She chooses not to interact with them.
I just cannot believe that she wants to be a good mother, I believe she wants to play one for an audience.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lovemygrandsons,
I copied your entire post again ( LOL - sort of a RT) because it says so much better what I was thinking. I do agree with you, I just wasn't able to say it right.
The photos I looked at made me sad because she seems to have some idea what to do, i.e. the making of fancy little meals for holidays, etc, but I think she is working the wrong audience.
She should not be posting pics for TV producers and her 10 fans to see, she should be doing all this for the love of her children. (Well, wait, maybe I should say: she sees what other good mothers are doing so she is mimicing them)...
There isn't anything wrong with posting pictures, per se, but it is SO obvious because we know kart's motivation that she is doing it for selfish reasons to get her 'deserved lifestyle' back again.
I think she does know what the right thing is to do, she just does it for the wrong reasons. And I agree with your comment, "I just cannot believe that she wants to be a good mother, I believe she wants to play one for an audience".
If she were just more 'child-focused, kind to her kids, welcoming to her family, had a better work ethic' she'd be so much more popular.
Oh wait......... but then she wouldn't be 'kart, supastah'......
I really dislike her but also feel pretty sorry for her because for whatever reason, she TRIES but FALLS FLAT EVERY TIME. It's incredible to me that she is so inept. Everything she tries bites her in the ass.
And you are right, just because someone has a "bad" childhood (which we don't know if she did)doesn't mean they can't rise above it to become a "good" person.
I go back and forth between hating her AND her actions, and feeling sorry for her because she's so obviously... off..... for lack of a better word.
I also do wonder, in the wee small hours of the night, as she lies in bed alone, if her mind spins seeking the reason for her failures and the worlds dislike of her. Being generous here, couldn't there be one tiny small kernal of self-awareness there? Deeply buried, but still there?
If not, then I guess my pity goes out to her. I really think if she wanted, truly wanted to, she could stop being a bitch. Or so much of a bitch.
One of the reasons I seem so reflective, I think, is that we lost our beloved dachshund two weeks ago. Death has a way of making the important things in life crystal clear. I see kart in the middle of pissing away precious childhood years that can never be recovered.
Ah well, I guess I need to get back to real life - the laundry needs putting away and mulch put down in the gardens. Real life, no photos for you........ ha ha, sorry to deprive you of the "amazingness" that is my life. Just a simple hug for DH and a call to DS and DIL and a simple low-carb dinner.
Boring. Yay!
Oops, had to edit a bit - my post was TOO LONG TO POST.
I need to shut up a bit. LOL
Hard to do when there are so many good posters here sharing good stuff..........

Nantango - thanks for reposting the above. It's a perfect summation of what Kate's all about.
Permanent Name, 71 -- You said it all well. I think that many of us here share your ambivalence.
Sometimes I see a photo of her and her eyes have a hopeful, longing look....kind of "Please..."
Next, I see her entitled, nasty, child using self.
I feel sympathy for one and disdain for the other.
She is completely unaware of how she presents herself. She seems unable to just lean on a good friend and ask for help. Maybe she is unable to have a "good" friend.
Kate is an adult. What she does to herself is sad. The kids are innocents. What she does to them is tragic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My apologies. As I don't have Twitter I sometimes mistake what the fan said and what Kate said. I wasn't trying to put words in her mouth.
Figuring Kate out has always been the draw for me. I mean, what is the truth?
If you have 24 hens laying more eggs than you can handle, why do buy 32 boxes of cereal?
Who is checking on the hens if Kate has no idea how many she has?
How can someone not have the time to take their own dog to the groomer, but does have time to process insane amounts of veggies?
How come her recipes rarely include "organic veggies" yet she is always boasting about buying them?
Who does the night time routine while Kate is twittering away? She wouldn't have that much time to herself at that time of night with 8 kids to organize for tomorrow and get into bed.
I think my favorite tweet of hers was the one where she said she was sooooooo behind because of being in New York for interviews. Really? She was in New York for like a day. How far behind can you be? And I'm supposed to believe that she is super organized and an amazing mom/homemaker to the point where I should buy her books to tell me how to do it? But she can't leave for one day without being majorly behind?
She claimed all the time that their show was the realest of reality shows, but clearly, it was not. What keeps bringing me back to Kate is the desire to understand what her reality really is.

---------
I'm with you, Kate's LACK of organizational skills is pathetic.
I think she bought all the cereal so the kids can feed themselves in the morning, so she can sleep in. Heck, she even admits the twins know how to make her morning coffee!
As far as her nighttime routine, gee, I guess she leaves all the housework for the 'helpers'.
I think she went into NYC the Saturday before, that seems to be the way she operates. (shopping, fish in paper, etc), and I don't think she returned until Monday in time to get the kids from school (I think a local said she was seen picking up the kids in her hooker attire).
When she's tweeting, she is home...when she's silent, she is away.
She's so predictable.
Twittering And Twattering said... 23
I don't know if anyone here is following the Iwana story, but it doesn't look promising for his former wife. It's very sad. He tweets info from time to time, with Kate in the twitter. Does anyone know if Kate has even responded, or acknowledged his tweets?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've been tweeting Iwana with best wishes for his wife & family. I do so because we conversed a bit in the past when he was online, because I take at face value his description of the what the family is going through right now, and because I've been there. If I'm wrong, so be it. No harm no foul. If I'm right, there's nothing more important during this time than knowing you aren't alone and that people care. Just another viewpoint.
mamaK, I have to agree with you "She claimed all the time that their show was the realest of reality shows, but clearly, it was not. What keeps bringing me back to Kate is the desire to understand what her reality really is."
None of it makes any sense does it?
I know I too have questioned myself why I spend so much time reading or thinking about kHate, because like others have said, I don't follow other celebrities and haven't since I was a teen.
I guess I just want to see how this will all unfold and to finally know the 'truth'.
Once a Viewer, sorry I didn't mean to come across as rude. I know a lot of people here don't follow Kate's Twitter feed and sometimes it's difficult to figure who said what. That's why I posted the complete exchange above.
There's just so much goofiness being tweeted anymore from both sides that sometimes I get the urge to correct things.
Again, I'm sorry I sounded rude.

"Kate is an adult. What she does to herself is sad. The kids are innocents. What she does to them is tragic."
Exactly Dmasy! You summed it up right there. I understand why some have occasion to feel sorry for Kate, I also totally get having no sympathy at all.
Whenever I do start to feel sorry for her, I remember Collin (I think?) and his lovie and how utterly cruel she was. Poor little guy was screaming and crying for his comfort toy and she just raged on about how she was going to toss it because of a little bit of gum.
She was totally power tripping and it looked like she was actually enjoying it. I just can't feel sympathy for someone so heartless to her own child's pleas.
Then are more examples but that one, for me, was particularly disturbing.
Sorry, nope, sympathy for Kate is always trumped by my sympathy for the kids.

I didn't find it unusual that he took her out to dinner or went to the casino. People react differently to bad news. It seems that he wanted to cheer her up, take her mind off the news they got at the hospital. He said that he has minimal abdominal pain, so perhaps she is up and about as usual. What I did find strange, though, is that he said she's his high school sweetheart and he is remarrying her because he loves her. Yet, he was so enamored with Kate. I guess it's good that she passed him by. No need to get involved with someone who is still in love with his ex. At any rate, it sounds like he has much to deal with and he's finding support among tweeters.
I have a young niece with 5 (Count 'em - 5) sons. The oldest is 8. She home schools. She bakes. She IS organic. She is one happy momma. She has a sweet blog site that I follow. Her husband is a new doctor -- years of residency. She is the real thing. I am so proud of her.
Maybe that is why Kate drives me a bit nutty. There are so many mothers out there who are what Kate claims to be.
So many that I do not know. My niece is only one.
Sorry, I should have proofread and used a few commas! oops ;)
Permanent Name, I understand what you are saying about having some pity for Kate. I expressed the same feelings myself here a few days ago. Like you, I go back and forth with the pity. At times I do feel sorry for her, but then the other side of me kicks in and says she brought it all on herself. And she refused to acknowledge the damage her actions did.
After her Today show appearance and wanting another reality show, I thought to myself oh my gosh, will she never learn? It's so sad because all of this affects the kids and I just don't think she sees that or cares one way or another.
By the way, I'm so sorry about the loss of your pet. We lost our shepard in March and sometimes I half expect to see him laying on the bedroom rug when I wake up in the morning. God bless, Perm.
Dmasy said...Maybe that is why Kate drives me a bit nutty. There are so many mothers out there who are what Kate claims to be.
____________________________
True and that's also why her fans drive me nutty. So many tweet her as if she's a saint and no one else has as much going on in their lives as she does.
Welcome Code Blue-- Kate's career should have a DNR on it ( do not resuscitate). Also, maybe she should have a
Edic bracet thT says "if found, rush to nearest nationally broadcasted talk show and 5 star hotel",
Having internet issues, can't cut/paste well (or read itty bitty characters. Just want to weigh in on hot flashes. I had symptoms for 10 years--extreme hot flashes , even in winter and wierd hot/cold flashes, where some parts of my body were hot and others cold. Bio-identic ream hormones and Black cohosh supplements helped. But, the most effect e strategy was to use visualization of a past memory of being immersed in the freezing waters of the ocean on a trip to Spain. Before that i imagined standing in a freezing cold shower or being in an igloo in Alaska.
Kate--if you are reading here hou can use the Alaska camping trip.
Haven't been reading much today. Sorry if this has been mentioned. Apparently someone posted at GWOP under anon. This person who works for NBC said that in Ann Currys notes Kate was there to talk about CC. Ann kept trying to bring it up but all Kate wanted to talk about was herself and grifting for a T.V. show. I guess CC saw the interview and was not happy so they had to do a lot of editing before it hit the west coast. They said Kate left right away so they couldn't use her for vioce overs. If I was her employer and paid to send her flat ass to NY for this I would be furious. If all this is true, I'm sure she was given some kind of warning. They should fire her ass....Personnaly I don't think she cares if she gets fired or not. I'm sure she hates that job. She used it as an opportunity to beg and she was happy with that. Proving once again what a user she is...
The BHappy person is online all day long, even though she stated four weeks ago how dire her health issues were. If that were true, why wouldn't this surgery get done on an emergency basis?
-----------------
Is this the one who blew the massive hole in her heart and needs the triple sextuplet (lol!) bypass? The doctors told her to go home and get her affairs in order but she doesn't like the "attitude" of doctors who were recommended to her and is shopping around? The one who has a PH without the D, has friends in high places, knows actors and producers and former Presidents, and has been to their homes? Of is that someone else? I get these people confused...!!!
Twitter drama is much better entertainment than current television offerings. I wonder if Kate knows what goes on with these people other than the platitudes that they tweet to her in their competition to see who can be the biggest suck-up. Milo is getting worse, if that's possible. Kate and her six tweetie fanatics should just get a room!
She is completely unaware of how she presents herself. She seems unable to just lean on a good friend and ask for help. Maybe she is unable to have a "good" friend.
=====
I think narcissists find it hard to BE a friend. Friendship like marriage is give and take and I really don't think Kate has the ability to give of herself. All the people who tried to be friends, who wanted to love and support her are gone, whether she's tossed them or they've left on their own. Maybe had she given a little love and support back once in awhile they'd still be around.

LOL! That poster is the "Oh, yes" person, the one who has been everything from a social worker, to a banker, to the wife of a pap to a flight attendant to a mom who sees Kate at the bus stop every day, all the while commuting from PA to NYC while also working across the street from the Philly art museum!
Now she's working at NBC? I kind of doubt it...
Is the video interview above the East Coast or West Coast feed? I know the west coast showing is delayed but can they really edit it in that little an amount of time? I guess Injust don't know much about morning talk shows. I always assumed what I was seeing was what the eadt coast saw. Huh. Go figure.
leigh shahan@LEIGHSHAHAN1
@Kateplusmy8 It just seemed like a good answer 4 people that are worried about other peoples single life! I wish i seen this about 20yrs ago
______________________________________
Wow, the I.Q. power of Kate's followers is mind boggling. She appeals to either teenagers or people who obviously have had little education. She wishes she "SEEN" this about 20 years ago...? Really.
Dmasy - So many mothers who are what Kate claims to be. Very astute observation.
What I think is one of the most telling signs that she truly is fading? When sites like MCAKG and STG shutbdown or stop putting up new posts. Hasn't the readership at GWOP also dropped significantly? It seems this site is truly one of the last hold outs and even then it seems to me that there is a core group here that does the majority of the posting (I think there were 891 comments just now and I bet at least half, if not more, are from the "regulars" here).
Time will tell if DWTS has her on All-Stars. I hope not, for the sake of the crew and cast. If she's not, I think that's even more of a slap in the face for her, because she did drive up their ratings and could potentially do so again.
She should talk to Omarosa who seems to have carved out a career for herself out of her reality infamy. (Side not: Couldn't Omarosa play Condoleeza Rice? Looks wise?)
Sorry... I didn't know. So this person has a lot of identities? Oh well...the jokes on me..
Sorry... I didn't know. So this person has a lot of identities? Oh well...the jokes on me.

No worries or need to apologize. It's not only you! The joke has been on many readers who believe her nonsense! A lot of identities? I think I stopped counting at 19! :)
She was actually quite amusing up to a point, found her way here briefly, but got called out on so many things that she went back to her safe haven over there where they continue to print her fiction. She truly is a "multiple"!
How long has it been since she put her "dream" in the mail (after sealing it with a kiss)? At least a month. Hasn't she heard back yet? She's throwing a lot of possibilities around--hinting about CA (they keep asking her, ya know), sent a "dream" out in the mail, has her dozen or so fans voting for her to go back on DWTS, begging for a new show, testing recipes for a new cookbook, turning up her nose at CC (why promote them when she can promote herself?). I just don't see any of it panning out for her. She is SO over, and a Carrie Ann said, she has no self awareness at all. Nobody wants to watch her or read anything written by her, and let's be real here--she's got a lot of rejection coming up in the near future. Will it finally hit her that she's over? How many hits does she have to take before she realizes she's just wasting time and money and she's making a fool of herself to boot?
BTW, CC is just pathetic if they don't get rid of her. She has nothing to offer them, and she humiliates them whenever they send her out to promote them. Put her on TV to talk about CC, and she spends her air time begging for a new TV show. Its obvious she doesn't think CC is worth her time, signaling to the audience that CC isn't worth THEIR time, either. She makes a fool of herself and CC. Yet, they keep paying her to treat them like trash. Bad move.
Hasn't the readership at GWOP also dropped significantly?
-------------------
GWOP only had 104 posts for the entire month of April, but I'm not sure that is do to Kate fading into obscurity. I think that the number of posting rules has much to do with the decline of the blog.
Jane 69 -- Thanks for the clarification on the Iwana saga. So, definitely not laparoscopic surgery if it was supposed to last for 6 - 8 hours. I'm coming down on the skeptical side, too.
I don't know if KK had a bad childhood or not. I do know her father has a reputation for being an autocrat and has some, shall we say, unusual ideas. Whatever the truth is, KK PERCEIVES it as having been bad, and that is what appears to be driving her current behavior. That and her NPD. I do feel sorry for her, up to a point. I think she is a joyless person. She is completely unable to appreciate the miracle of her 8 children, to give and receive love, to participate fully in life. That must be a very bleak existence. That doesn't stop me from despising her behavior and her treatment of people around her. There's really no excuse for that. She just doesn't care if she hurts others. She's as much as said so herself, with her "I don't notice other people" and saying she doesn't believe in apologies or in forgiveness.
Funny GWOP was mentioned. Three years ago that was my go-to blog. Then I got disgusted with them watching the show and snarking about it the next day. I felt they were promoting the show.
Is the video interview above the East Coast or West Coast feed?
-----------------
I think that is the West Coast feed. Someone said on the East Coast, all that was seen was Kate above the waist, with quite a few photos of the kids, so they missed out on the foot pumping to the mouth!
Kate received these two tweets within 30 minutes of each other, from Elvis in SD and Leigh, the lady who drove to see Kate in Missouri..
I'm in! Blue sky, no wind, sun only, likely mid to high 70's. Lettuce wraps r pyment enough 4 us all. Or bsitting?
and this one
oh, almost 4got--just got 2my mail 2day & THANKYOU for 6 bags of hyperactivity&cards 4 my 6!Ur awesome,& no,I won't kill u! :)
Has Kate EVER done ANYTHING for ANYONE other than HERSELF?? E V E R ?????
I swear, she thinks she is entitled to everything.
And WHY, would anyone with an ounce of intelligence, GIVE stuff to a millionaire's children when there are truly NEEDY children in their OWN community?
Pardon me while I puke.
UGH

Figuring Kate out has always been the draw for me. I mean, what is the truth?
If you have 24 hens laying more eggs than you can handle, why do buy 32 boxes of cereal?
Who is checking on the hens if Kate has no idea how many she has?
How can someone not have the time to take their own dog to the groomer, but does have time to process insane amounts of veggies?
----------------
Easy, all of it is lies. Lies on top of untruths covered by fabrication. And I'd need a thesaurus to go on, but I think you get the picture. Whomever said that Khate is doing Plus 8 episodes in her head and on twitter was also right in the way that what she tells/shows now is just as fictitious as what was shown/told on the show.
So the NBC poster was fake? How could u tell?
I wonder if Iwana checked out Fred Hutchinson in Seattle. I was reading his tweets and he said he called other cancer treatment centers and when they found out the gall bladder was involved, there was nothing they could do. Hutchinson does experimental treatment and research that none of the others does.
Kat (#89) and others: The comment below appeared on this very thread on Monday, after the interview had aired. I wondered at the time whether people were ignoring it because everyone thought it had to be a fake. But it does make the same points that you mentioned seeing on GWOP:
"NBC staffer said... 189
Kate screwed up big time. Her interview with the today show was to push the "new app for cell phones with coupon cabin on it" so you could get your discount in the store and not wait until you got home to get the discount by ordering on line.
Different versions of this interview were shown. On the east coast it was all about Kate with photos of her and her kids, all discussion was about her and her kids.
The west cost feed from the today show had been edited but Kate had left the bldg before they could get her to do a voice over announcing the app that would be available on cell phones for customers.
This may very well be the end of Kate and /CC working together. She may get fired for this.
May 21, 2012 11:47 AM"
I have a hard time believing this is from a real staffer, but the story, in my opinion, sounds completely plausible.
Why would CC merit discussion on the Today show? It's a crap site anyhow.
Kate has posted her Mother's Day cards ( Mady's not there?) as well as some other artwork. There is great variety in artistic talent ! Cara is quite good, and Leah.But those should be private.
She just wanted to 'prove' the kids love her, the best mother in the world. Well, who doesn't get that on a Mother's Day card?
I didn't look at them, but Kate has posted pics of her kids' artwork (whatever that means).
Does anyone have any insight or inside info from Jon as to WHY he allows her to talk about and post pic of the kids?
So now she says that she lit out of there because she "had to be somewhere else," just as we suspected she would do with the fan. And now she is dangling the babysitting carrot before the sheeple. She needs to get a hold of herself. These are real people she is talking to, not the made up person she has created in her mind behind the name. I wonder what hyperactivity cards are, does anyone know?
And more pics, she is trying to as I say make hay while sun shines i.e. trending.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Because they are butt-kissers. It's the celebrity thing. They want attention. They want to be able to say that they are best friends with a "famous" person. If they gave to needy children, what would they get out of it? Who would know it? These sheeple are as needy as Kate in that they demand recognition. Giving to Kate gets them that attention and feeling that they really *are* somebody. It really is quite sad.
I think if she does get on the All Star show, it will be a cameo appearance where she will be in the audience and maybe do a little bio and some scenes, etc, or maybe a very, very short skit. No way they would waste a spot on her competing in the dance as there are so many great dancers to choose from. Any one of those on this last season could have potentially been winners had they been able to stay long enough. I was glad to see them bring Sherry back and give her such a great spot as she came off completely different there than she does on the View. Very likable, friendly, and humble.
I guess I am obligated to go and check out the pic of the kids that KT has finally discovered are quite actually great kids and pretty darn cute too. It sure took her long enough. Maybe since she has discovered that they have the cute factor, she will come out of her "room" more often.

----------
Um yes it's all about Steve remember.-)
"I don't know if KK had a bad childhood or not. I do know her father has a reputation for being an autocrat and has some,"
+++++++++++
As far as I know, Kate wasn't the victim of an abusive childhood at the hands of dysfunctional parents. I did know her and some of her classmates. She really wasn't crazy, mean, out of control, or an ego maniac. Of course, things happen behind the scenes in childhood that are hidden, but I never saw any of that or heard anything that would suggest it. It's not to say that it didn't happen, but she appeared to be a typical teen who was anxious to go and do her own thing, free of parents, off to change the world.
I think that when Kate got demanding, over-bearing, and developed the entitlement issues was when she saw what Beth had and figured she could have it, too. It was the proverbial light bulb going off in her head. Added to that was the fact that she enrolled the twins at school and saw that these were affluent parents who dressed their kids well, took them on very nice vacations, and were able to afford expensive birthday parties and material things. She not only needed to keep up with that, give her kids (and herself) the same lifestyle, but needed to be one up on it -- be better than the parents and the peers. She didn't want to be looked down upon. Each year this entitlement seemed to get worse, along with her attitude. The more she had, the more she wanted.
Just my two cents, along with my observations.
Looks like Casey Anthony is getting a movie made about and it's going to be on lifetime.
You know....I've often wondered if the Oh Yes She Is poster is an insider who doesn't want to be busted.
The stories are so plausible, like the poster above said. They seem to jive pretty well not only with what we've seen of Kate's behavior on her show, but with what we've come to expect of her, and the details are always spot on.
I don't know. Obviously the details about 'how' the person knows the details are suspect and are probably a ruse, but Kate's behavior part of the story always seems to ring pretty true.
Wouldn't it be a hoot if whoever this person is, is also the gosselinbook person?
TLC Stinks...We know that the NBC poster over on GWOP was a fake becasue she has posted many, many times under many, many different names with many, many different jobs. She used to have a "tell" where she'd say something like "Ann had notes, oh, yes she did, blah, blah, blah, blah". She may not be using the "tell" any more but the writing style and content are the same and she's been around for years. Oh, yes she has!

Chiming in RE: Hot flashes & frizzy hair -
I started with night sweats during perimenopause, I don't remember having a flash during the day. Had to change pjs, go sleep the rest of the night in the basement (cooler). My mother swears by visualization techniques (picture yourself standing with your feet in the ocean on the coast of Maine...), I swear by rubbing ice on your feet!
_____________________
Koopdedoo--hadn't read your post yet when I posted about my visualization. For a second, I thought maybe you are MY daughter, then concluded that, since you shared about perimenopause, not the case. My daughters and son were with me on the trip to Spain. It was unseasonably hot and the water was really cold, but it felt so good because I had been a sweaty mess for most of the trip. I swam out a bit, and looked at my husand and children on the beach, and felt so at peace. I closed my eyes to create a visual picture so that I would remember it. What's funny is that when I began using visualization of this moment, when I was feeling stressed or having a hot flash, my body remembers the feeling of well-being, too.
Anyway, it really is my effective treatment for hot flashes--and anxiety.
It sounds like Leighshahan1, the woman who met Kate in MO, sent some goodies to the 6 for their birthday (like candy?), that is what the hyperactivity must refer to.

I live on the east coast and the video above is the same interview I saw in real time.

@Kateplusmy8 And let's add the fact ur kids R doin gr8 N school...they R happy, loving kids w/gr8 future because of Mom determined 2do best!
Does there ever come a point where someone like this goes totally ballistic, acting out on a fantasy to be one with the celebrity? Her behavior seems more than just obsession. She'd be happiest if she could just move in with Kate, into her bedroom and into her life. Single White Female comes to mind.
Why would M. have displaced the card that she gave HER on mother's day? Sounds like someone else name of who is the one that displaced the card.
Why would M. have displaced the card that she gave HER on mother's day?

Because Mady's card probably said something like "Happy Warden's Day" and Kate didn't see the humor in it so she lied and said it was lost?
Does anyone have any insight or inside info from Jon as to WHY he allows her to talk about and post pic of the kids?
&&&&
I doubt Kate consults him for permission. He would have to go to court, spend money, disrupt the peace they have right now to stop it, and that's if Kate even follows the court order if he is able to get it.
I've seen parental alienation cases. It doesn't matter how many court orders you slap on them, they will ignore them. Court orders don't apply to them. Court orders egg them on. Sometimes it really is best to pick your battles.
OK, I was thinking, that if Kate has 24+ chickens, and they lay lots of eggs, could Kate be trading eggs for veggies with Amish Henry? Or consignment the eggs at the Amish store?
AuntieAnn: They take 2 string(thread) and they put it over your brows and twist & pull, it happens so fast. Or so I am told. Like tweezing but faster.
I heard this on the morning news today: that people who eat organic, are more bold, don't care about anyone around them only themselves, won't life a finger to help anyone. It was a study done recently. It says Kate all over it.

The prolific poster always says what people are discussing--never adds anything new. The addition of the VoiceOver info made me consider the possibility that it was legit. But, why would anyone go to the trouble of searching out related blogs and then jeapordize their jobs. Over the years, hundred have seen her up close and personal but remain very tight-lipped. You can't work in the industry and be a blabber-mouth.
It's very funny, Kate explained that Mady's card is not in the picture group, yet her FANS on Twitter keep commenting on Mady's card! Bizarre.
Does Milo ever get tired of being up Kates ass? How many effing times can she compliment her? It's very excessive, even for a nut like Milo. I almost can't stand it anymore..does Milo have any self respect?
Ex-Nurse #116 -
Funny! I know I am not your daughter because my mother was never a nurse and she can't navigate the internet too well (she is trying to learn)!
I love how you created your visualization in that instant. I have a few memories of the Atlantic Ocean on the coast of New Hampshire...I'll have to try that the next time I flash. My mother never told me to use a specific memory for the visualization, and hence her "cool stream over the smooth stones" never quite worked for me!

I couldn't believe the verdict either. She should have gone to prison and her mother right along with her for perjury. I've googled chlorophyll many times and never has chloroform come up in any way related. The whole Anthony saga is sickening.

Is Kate saying she's running for charity? I don't remember her saying this before?

This describes Kate to a t.
Those Mother's Day cards ARE precious. I hope she's not lying and does hold on to them as keepsakes.
I love Collin's : "You are the best mom I've ever had". lol..That is so cute.
I remember when Kate told the story on the interview couch that the kids said they had two moms when she was "bestest friends" with Beth. Hmmm, maybe that's why she got the boot?

She may not be using the "tell" any more but the writing style and content are the same and she's been around for years. Oh, yes she has!
------------------
Oh, yes, it is! She's now posting under Katherine (she's used that one before) and bank asst (it's a new one, I think). Some of the posts are quite amusing, others, not so much! Some of her past, more frequent IDs were Glad To Have Peace And Quiet, Philly Worker, Philadelphia Worker, Quiet On Our Roads Again, Wives (and Wife) of Pap, Flight Attendant, Glad to Have Peace &, Worked With Kids, Still Can't Stand Her, and many, many more.
"They seem to jive pretty well not only with what we've seen of Kate's behavior on her show, but with what we've come to expect of her, and the details are always spot on."
Not always. She was posting a few years ago that Kate's house was listed for sale, out-of-state cars were there with realtors on a daily basis, when none of it was true. There were so many holes in the stories of her seeing Kate on the steps of the art museum that you could drive a truck through them! When she started posting that she knew what Steve did every minute inside the house, how he took care of the kids, I knew it was all baloney. Kate's behavior is pretty much generic; anyone can write about it and it rings true. You don't have to be an insider to know what's going on with her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm not sure who I'm more disgusted with, Kate for not putting her foot down and telling the sheeple not to send gifts, or the sheeple for sending gifts, etc. to a millionaire's children.
After the infamous "Society has a responsibility...." comment, Kate walked it back real quick when the public was infuriated. She then said she never meant to say society should contribute to the raising of her HOM kids, but that perhaps there should be a private foundation which helps families like hers. I'm still waiting for the Katie I. Gosselin Foundation for High Order Multiples to be established and start financially assisting HOM familes. {{crickets}}
It's NEVAH going to happen. This bitch just takes and takes and takes and takes and takes... And she's an equal opportunity taker, as well. Deluded housewives, grannies on Social Security, young mothers who put their last $5 in the love offering plate, her complete lack of moral compass allows her to suck the last dollar off of someone KNOWING FULL WELL they have less than her. She's been doing it for years- "who is she to say no?" Just don't ask her to assist families devastated by weather disasters and the like. Don't ask her to donate her kids clothes, she just HAS to get that .20 on the dollar for them and consign them. Oh no, she cannot afford it. She's struggling. Her "giving" was limited to being paid $250,000 an epi to give TLCs money and canned goods donated by the community away. Yeah, that's about the extent of her "giving".
But, why would anyone go to the trouble of searching out related blogs and then jeapordize their jobs. Over the years, hundred have seen her up close and personal but remain very tight-lipped. You can't work in the industry and be a blabber-mouth.

So very true. At one time she posted that the niece of her neighbor's sister-in-law (or something like that) worked in the industry and knew all about Kate's behavior during the filming of the show. The poster's brother worked for ABC and reported on Kate's behavior on DWTS. It's all coming back now! The pap stories were particularly amusing. Funny how this trivia sticks with a person, and yet I still don't know where I put my extra set of car keys!

I've been involved with blogs, chats, message boards since the web was new and have learned to trust my instincts -- this just doesn't ring true. If anyone has additional insight, I hope they'll share. This entire saga - Kate and her sheep - is fascinating.
oh, forgot my first thought on reading the traits they are attributing to people who eat organic food. Seems to me a lot eat organic as a 'status' thing (sound like someone we know?).
I love Collin's : "You are the best mom I've ever had". lol..That is so cute.
-------------------
I'm no child psychologist and not into reading things that aren't there, but could this mean that he thought of the nannies as "moms" because Kate was away so much? Do kids ever think of the nannies and sitters as their second mothers?
Card is cute, though!
Permanent Name, after rereading my comment to your original post, some of it seems kind of harsh so I want to apologize to you. I honestly did not mean to come off as harsh and I'm sorry for that.
OT, are there any cherry tree growers on this blog? We've had cherry trees the last couple of years, but we haven't gotten many cherries yet because they were young trees. However, this past weekend, we saw quite a few cherries on one of the trees, but were going to wait till this weekend so our grandsons could help pick them.
We just went to look at the trees and almost all of the cherries are gone! Many of them have been half-eaten (birds or squirrels?), and some just have the seeds hanging from the tree.
Any expert advice on how to protect the fruit would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Judy - She makes me gag. Boastful bitch. It's always about her. Me, myself and I.
I remember this poem my mother taught me when I was a kid . It just came to mind again:
I had a little tea party
This afternoon at three.
'Twas very small-
Three guest in all-
Just I, myself and me.
Myself ate all the sandwiches,
While I drank up the tea;
'Twas also I who ate the pie
And passed the cake to me.
Joel's Mother's Day card is worrisome to me. By 8 years old, children shouldn't have any reversals.
"( the original w/ Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh.) .I wonder why BF did not make more films?"
I enjoyed Bridget Fonda too. According to IMDB, she's married with kids; maybe she gave up acting for that. She was great in Shag, a movie set in the 60s about the beach and dancing. Shagging in the Carolinas in dancing.
"Do kids ever think of the nannies and sitters as their second mothers?"
Kate said in an interview one of the kids called the nanny Mommy.
Lovemygrandsons,
No need to apologize. I understood exactly what you meant. :-) It didn't sound too harsh, just honest.
I find your posts very uplifting and they put a smile on my face. I LOVE that you get such an honest kick out of your family!!!
I've been lurking her for days post computer meltdown and purchase of a new one. The comments here are so well written and spot on, with the exception of the trolls.
I never watched DWTS, I usually work when it airs and my DVR only holds so much. I went on YT and looked a couple of her "dances". Please make it stop is all I could think. She has to be one of the most disillusioned people I have ever seen. I don't think it's healthy for anyone to encourage her. The sooner she has to face the realest reality, get off her ass & find a job, like most Americans, the better off she & the kids will be. She has no sustainability in any area of television or literature. Zip. I also think it's better for the kids to learn about real life now, instead of later. If they lose the house, so be it. The only thing I'd hate to see them lose is their school. Their mother, father & TLC put them in the spotlight and I think it would be very difficult (and psychologically damaging) for them to attend a public school. I may be wrong on that though.
I have no pity for her. It doesn't matter if she came from a troubled home. She's had more resources than most people, and just like the money, chances of fame etc., blew them all. She incinerated those bridges, simply burning them wasn't enough for her. I have a narcissistic mother and learned what not to do from her. It's simply instinct, like some other poster said on here. Instinct should supersede everything, including money and greed. I would not buy a "cookbook" she'd "write". The money would not go to the kids anyway. Heck, she won't spend the money they earned on normal afterschool activities for them now.
Love this blog and am in constant awe at the posts here. Thanks for letting me rant yet again.

Good old Milo never gives up...
Single White Female comes to mind.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I heard milo on Nina Fry's show--right before Nina renounced Kate. She called herself Fired Up For Kate and posted on blogs under that name. She said that she was on Kate's side because she didn't like the continual criticism. For some reason, Kate has set off some kind of wierd maternal instinct and now she is pretty much stuck in the role. Sounds more like a stubborn, its you and me against the world, cheerleader, loyalty thing than a stalking thing. I think that's why Kate responded to her when she started tweeting.
IwannainspireU is a whole other thing, IMO. He received the news that the last shred of hope for his wife's cancer was gone in the middle of tweeting and he keeps on tweeting? Seriously? Maybe I'm a skeptic, but if there is any truth to his story, there is probably money involved. Husband's family went through this, and it was 100% about not having her assets pass on to her children. He promised, on her deathbed, that he would carry out her wishes. he did not, and that inheritance financed his longtime affair, a string of 30 year old Barbie dolls, until he married a professional grifter. She blew through his money in 3 years. Well, apparently Karma is a total bitch, because at age 72, 3 days after buying his airline tickete to come to our youngest child's Bat Mitzvah, he rented a storage unit, drove in and committed suicide by asphyxiation. so yes, I am a little cynical about how devoted this guy (??) is to his wife, if any of the story happens to be true.
She certainly attracts the kooks, and that is a fact!
And, just how are her chickens multiplying? Wasn't the only rooster removed because it was hen-pecked? Maybe fertility doctor #2 was called in for treatments. Sounds like a Kateism--if six is good, then 32 is better. Sheesh!
AuntieAnn- how appropriate!
andreanjamie I just love the little clear storage containers with the little blue tops!
*****************************************************
This is an example of the inane followers Kate has- this person feels the need to comment on her love for Kate's 'vege' Tupperware
Thank you, Pity Party! I just told my husband about it so we're going to the dollar store this weekend to buy pick some. (Of course I'll have my boys with me so I'll be "forced" to let them pick out a thing or two as well!)

Does Milo ever get tired of being up Kates ass? How many effing times can she compliment her? It's very excessive, even for a nut like Milo. I almost can't stand it anymore..does Milo have any self respect?
--------
I don't follow Kate's twitter daily...has CJ tweeted much since the cruise went belly up?
I am in "agreeance" with everyone else who has stated that Kate's tweets do not match her demeanor on TV. Her tweets are always filled with "Yay", "Join our fun", and umteen !!!!!!!!!!!
Yet every time I log onto this blog and see her appearances on Monday, there is NO joy or happiness in her face or her speech. Yet, here we are a few days later and she's back to the sunshine and lollipops in her twitter. She can fake it on twitter and her few fans buy it, but in her personal appearances, you can definitely see the difference compared to her twitter persona.
From Iwana...
@mscatie @kateplusmy8 Yes,been doing what I can. Some days are better than others obviously. I see posters at 15mins are skeptical as usual.
&&&&&&&&&
Not everyone is skeptical. Since he reads here, I'd be interested in knowing if he made any calls to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. They give hope when others give up.
I'd never tweet such private information to internet strangers for whatever reason, but obviously there are those who do, and as my mother would say, "that goes with them." Because some choose to do this doesn't necessarily mean that they're not credible or sincere.
Oh, wait, according to Kate's latest tweet, her own child is now complementing her on well she raised them?!? Oh, please, will this woman please step out of June Cleaver's stage home and enter the real world.
saidbyjeannie
@Kateplusmy8 OK, what are these lettuce wraps you keep talking about?! Share :)
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Here we go. We need a recipe for a lettuce wrap! I guess they have the salad mastered, but the lettuce wrap may prove a bit more challenging! Sheeple...you gotta love 'em.
JudyK 144 -- Go to IMDB.com and search Bridget Fonda. That should bring up a listing of all the movies/tv appearances she's done, and give some biographical information. I believe she retired about 10 years ago to raise a family. She's married to Jenna Elfman's husband's uncle. He's a composer, I think.
Shopping w/ my tweens.Cara got out of car2mail a letter. Me: 'wow how attitudey!' Mady:'Well,look at her! WE have raised her very well!' LOL 37 minutes ago
Kate, you do not...I repeat, you do NOT talk about one child to another child, and you certainly don't tweet it to strangers and then LOL about it.
Gosh but she's pathetic.
Oh sweet, talking to one daughter about the other, and tweeting about it to strangers. Looks like she's molding one twin to be her bestie, too. She's so sick. Jekyll & Hyde, tweets are lollipops and roses, appearances on tv something else. Oh K8 who's watching the rest of the kids during these twilight shopping trips, the imaginary help? Oh right, you're Supermom.
Permanent Name, thank you for your graciousness.
Ex Nurse, I'm sorry for the issues your husband, and ultimately you, had to endure. How sad. God bless you all.
NCgirl (154), YES, where DID Bridget Fonda go? LOVED her in "Profumo." That was a great movie.
Thank you all for making me smile and laugh. I read here a lot and just starting posting here and there. Thank you!
Suggestion for new thread: Whither Kate?
She's definitely running out of lives here, so what's she gonna try next? If she doesn't get any "mileage" out of the running, what else does she really have to offer that would REWARD her in the way she believes she "deserves"? Can anyone come up with anything besides porn? Certainly not parenting. Cooking? Blech. Writing? Only if you're into G-rated fantasy-motherhood stories. Next? Anyone?
Girls can get so catty and downright mean starting in the preteen years. The worst thing is to get 3 preteen girls together; it always seems to turn into 2 against 1. And Kate being so emotionally stunted and stuck in the teen years, that's what that post looked like to me...2 ganging up on 1. I'm sure Kate thinks it's all ... like ... cool hanging with her kids, being their equal. What it is is BAD MOTHERING.
Per Kate's latest tweet, she is very, very happy. The happiest she has ever been. Boy, it sure didn't show on her face on Monday.
OT again. Weeks ago we all shared devilled egg recipes. Someone said they use dijon mustard instead of yellow mustard. I made devilled eggs tonight and used the dijon mustard instead of my usual yellow mustard. Oh my gosh, are they good! Thank you to whoever posted that!
Yes, now that her new PR firm has told her, "You must NEVER admit to throwing anything out":
Rastafarian @Rastafarian_
@Kateplusmy8 you've got some budding artists! Such gr8 treasures! I'm sure you collect all the cards & artwork for posterity, right? :))
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8
@Rastafarian_ yes and frame them! ( the especially good ones)
Good God, Kate, you will be ANYTHING to anybody for a buck, won't you?
Nurse said, IwannainspireU is a whole other thing, IMO. He received the news that the last shred of hope for his wife's cancer was gone in the middle of tweeting and he keeps on tweeting?
^^^^^
I know he said he was going to remarry his ex. Has he done this yet? I saw the tweets from the hospital and right away thought, "Whoa, you're tweeting as the doctor is calling you?"
But you know, not everyone reacts the same way to bad news, to grief, to death. Maybe he feels the need to vent to strangers because he doesn't want his friends or family to see him as tearful and pessimistic. You just don't know. He said he was tweeting while passing time when she was in surgery. That's possible, BUT, to tweet as the doctor was calling just didn't sound quite right:
@IwanaInspireU
@mscatie @Kateplusmy8 Aww Shit! Hold the phone...doc just called&said they stopped procedure. Opened her up&decided not worth going further.
@IwanaInspireU
@kateplusmy8 To those who are following: Doc just called&said he stopped procedure. DAMMIT! Pray for strength from here.
@IwanaInspireU
@kateplusmy8 I gotta run. Hafta meet with docs. Kims gonna be so upset when she wakes up. I will update when I can...... DAMN!
Regarding Milo...
"Sounds more like a stubborn, its you and me against the world, cheerleader, loyalty thing than a stalking thing."
^^^^^^^^
I thought so too at first, but when I read that tweet from Milo where she imagined the two of them together under a blue sky (something like that) it took her fantasy to a whole new level...nothing maternal about it! :)
If my ONLY impression of Kate Gosselin was formed by seeing what she retweets, I would still be 100% convinced she is a narcissist. I've never seen anything like it. It's just weird, retweeting compliments! What a mess she is. She's 37, she looks 50, but she acts like she's 12.
Please, what are STG and MCAKG sites?
I know why the Gosselin witch is so dour. I am pretty sure it is the Book coming out soon. She must be shaking in her 50 pound bag of flour.
Doesn't the children's privacy mean anything to these fans? They feel that they are entitled to know everything about them as they are growing up. This nutjob, miloandjack tweeted that they are missing Mady's conversations! What in the (bleep) is wrong with them...
miloandjack
@Kateplusmy8 See we are missing all this cute convo of Mady...the kids growin up so fast...how they interacted w/each other! New show COME!
I don't know if she has kids, but would she want the whole internet world to know all of their "cute" conversations? On second thought, this is a crazy sheeple, so there's the answer right there.
Sleepless, milo has admitted to having two kids (one of each), and you'll note that she rarely brings them up on Twitter. But she's raring to go whenever Kate mentions one of HER kids. She's very respectful of her own children's privacy, but not at all of Kate's kids'. Hypocritical much there, milo?
And yes, LoveMyGrandsons (#173), Kate has never appeared anywhere near as happy on video as she does on Twitter, has she? She's become an expert spinner on Twitter, but it doesn't translate to reality. Except, of course, when she was droning on for the camera seated on her own comfy (but, oddly, not leather?) couch. She is as fake as they come. Whenever you think you see a glimmer of "real" reality, think again.
Oh, just thought of another possible Kate "career": Site for moms of HOMS who've had tummy tucks AND boob jobs. Or maybe she could just reveal the maker of the "good bra"--that ought to be good for another $1 million or so.
miloandjack
@Kateplusmy8 Well, looks like I missed my chatty Kate! U were supposed to wait 4me .sip ur tea at the kitchen counter! Just hang out w/us!
"MY" Kate. Yep. Single White Female! Wants Kate to wait up for her.
Does anyone think Milo is for real, or is this all for show and attention?
Kate Gosselin is such a DONKEY. sick of her braying and by the way Kate, stop the throwing the left handed throw ex under the bus statements. Intelligent people have your number. Since when are things calmer?? You know, your very public interview. You intimated that Jon is responsible for the chaos. You bitch, you are the one that has kept the HELL going. I know, since Jon and the Judge made you STFU/ Yes< Yuppers, Oh, Yes you C. Keep slinging the shit, it is bouncing back in your face. Love watching this mess you created and the very lies you have spewed come full circle.

My mother taught me this poem as a child.....
I love me, I love me so
I take myself to the picture show
I put my hand around my waist
I get so fresh, I slap my face!
Woo woo!
I find it odd that Aaden's card has a drawing of Kate and the tups with their names, but the other 2 sisters are not on the card. Maybe they are told they are the 6 and Cara and Mady are the 2.
28 days... four hours and counting down. GosselinBook.com knows what Kate did last (or in the years prior) Summmer! Gee, I hope it's not the Hit & Run-- major disappoinment.

HAHAHA!! Oh I love it. Narcissist poems....who'd have thought. Thanks for sharing that one.
I used to think milo was "genuine," as in she realizes Kate is "compromised" in a lot of ways and she just wants to be supportive. She has said as much (though not in so many words) many times. But her tweets go so over the top these days that I am no longer sure what to think. I guess it isn't beyond the realm of possibility that she IS remunerated for her ridiculous remarks.
I know we're not supposed to do "blogs on blogs" here, but anyone who wants to see milo in one of her "other" personas can find her posting here and there on BM's or Ziggyflo's, where she miraculously finds her "g"s and simultaneously manages to support Kate. She plays some sort of hick stereotype on Twitter that, I am guessing, makes her appear more "user-friendly" to any newbies who arrive on Kate's feed--and she readily tucks them under her wing when she spots them, 'deed she does!. If this ISN'T a paid gig for her, I can only marvel at the (ahem) UNUSUAL dedication of this "fan." I assume Steve has duly taken note.

Permanent Name, after rereading my comment to your original post, some of it seems kind of harsh so I want to apologize to you. I honestly did not mean to come off as harsh and I'm sorry for that.
OT, are there any cherry tree growers on this blog? We've had cherry trees the last couple of years, but we haven't gotten many cherries yet because they were young trees. However, this past weekend, we saw quite a few cherries on one of the trees, but were going to wait till this weekend so our grandsons could help pick them.
We just went to look at the trees and almost all of the cherries are gone! Many of them have been half-eaten (birds or squirrels?), and some just have the seeds hanging from the tree.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My grandfather would wrap the cherry trees in nets. It kept the birds away. I remember many happy summers sitting in the cherry trees eating cherries to my hearts content.
Khate can fake cheer and excitement, even almost caring, on twitter; but even there she still can't hide her rampant narcissism.
As for the kid's cards, didn't look but what were you expecting? She probably stood over them, or made Mady and Cara, making sure they were wonderful enough. And why would any court of law force her to not post photos or scans of them online? Millions of mums do that, and it in no way demeans the kids or their dad.
I think the super suddenly skinny Collin pic and twitter "discussion" was much worse. He went from always being the biggest or second biggest and now looks to weigh less than all of the other sextuplets.
LoveMyGrandson 141 I agree with Andrea, netting seems to be the only way to keep them off my cherry tree. My husband uses a garlic spray as an alternative to normal pesticides. It's worked wonders in our garden - keeping the rabbits off the strawberries, rhubarb, lettuce etc. I don't know if it would work with the cherry trees but it's something to think about if you don't want to hassle with nets. It really does stink though.
Andrea, thank you for the helpful idea. Hopefully, between the aluminum tins and wrapping the trees, we can save the cherries for us!

&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Will there be a sequel -- "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer?" Guess we'll have to wait and see if the first one materializes!
Kelly, thank you for your helpful ideas, and thanks to everyone. We are going to use these helpful hints. Hopefully, there will be cherries for the grandkids to pick the next time they come to visit. Thank you all again!
LoveMyGrandsons, raccoon's also love cherries and can easily strip a tree in one night.
