By popular demand and because it's more interesting than Kate, I'm opening a gardening thread. Share tips, tricks, stories, whatever you want. Feel free to discuss anything else you want, it's not limited to gardening.And for those who don't garden, you're wrong. You have a garden....in your mind. Check out this awesome viral video.

Kate Gosselin@Kateplusmy8
Just finished a fun run/major gab session w my marathon girls! Was so wonderful to run between them again! Off 2 enjoy dinner/drinks later!
Again with the "my marathon girls". We get it Kate-we know these are the women(who are older than you) who ran with you in Vegas. We even know their names-Ellen Lamar and Paula Congelio. At least have the decency to call them by their names. You don't own them.
How would you like it if Paula or Ellen called you "my marathon girl"?
Meagler:
Great post and so true.
'There is a book out there called Queen bees and Wannabees, but I do not remember the title. I took a class in regards to this thru my kids school. The Movie Mean Girls is a great story about Queen bees/Wannabees'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, that IS the title and the author is Rosalind Wiseman & Mean Girls was based on the info in it. It was an interesting book and I read it when my daughter was in Gr 9, and experiencing some of this clique/bully/wish-washy 'friends' business. It's a hard time for girls ( and boys , in a different way) and I'm sure one of the twins in particular is going to experience it. The other I feel, may become one of the Queen bees, idk.
Queen Bee Moms & Kingpin Dads is the sequel by Wiseman (above) about parents- dealing with QB's grown up in regard to your child..(Kate)
Hey gals (any blokes here?) Dropped in to read for a second and love the gardening tips. Re scary walking alone story: once was out walking in a suburban area at around 4am, travel made my internal clock screwy, and noticed there was a car that seemed to be slowy following me. Remembering all the times I'd been told to trust my gut and that the need to be 'polite' has hurt too many women because they ignore that feeling so as not to seem rude, I started to warm up my scream and karate kick to the groin. After about half a block I finally got the nerve to turn around and look, only to see a man get out of the car....to drop a paper on a house's lawn. Phew!
Still, be safe! Trust your instincts not your manners.
Kate has all that land so and 8 kids so why would she give away the dogs?
Why cause I don't think she loved them I believe she just brought the dog back to say.
"oh look how good of a mom I'am" and to look goo for the camera of course.
Since I'm a dog lover with two 2 year old puppies I could never give them away.
You're just feeding into her by even posting her latest tweets......drop the twitter feed.....ignore her....i dislike her immensely, but she's so irrelevant to my daily life even the twitter should be ignored.
NT, not too late for a patio tomato in my opinion. You may have a hard time finding a plant now, a few places might have one.
Garden Designer, thanks for the advice re garlic, I an going to get some this week.
She tweets that she's going out for dinner and drinks with her "marathon girls", but 30 min. later she's tweeting away again. If this is the first time they've been together since December, she really shows how classless she is.
Kate, pay attention to your "friends". The tweeties will still be there tomorrow.
Oops, I meant I didn't remember the Author of the book! Thanks " Once a Viewer" for sharing the Author.
As the kids grow, it will be interesting to see the different roles each of them come to play. As we see in the movie ' Mean Girls", the Queen Bee, is so busy trying to be the most popular, they end up becoming the most lonely. Kate is a very pretentious person.
The more she tries to make everyone believe that everything is perfect, the more she comes to believe it herself. Kate knows how to bait people and reel them in, but after a while the person will come to realize how toxic the relationship is, and hopefully can make it out with a sound mind. The RV trip chronicled that process very well with Jamie and Ashley. Kate will never reveal the truth of their relationship status.
I will admit, I am curious about the Gosselin Book date of June 21, 2012, to see who is behind that. Someone who was privy at Easter and saw Deanna in those boots.
I think the only way Kate will change, is when her kids leave home, and she is all alone, and hits rock bottom. She might not tho either.

kateplusmy8
@CocoMeCool I'd love it if you'd make me a size zero (even though I'm a 4, lol)! Email me and give details kate@kateplusmy8.com thanks!
Well, Kate wants the chocolate bust or statuette or whatever the heck it is. Maybe she figures they want it in the Smithsonian. I have never in my life seen anyone who feels so entitled as this woman. I wonder if Steverino will get the first bite.
Kate is a twit ...5
No defender of Kate here! It may be the friends are staying at a hotel and came by for a run and they'll meet up later for dinner. If they were staying at the star's mansion, she'd be frantic and twatting about all the work and preparations.
Kate tweeted to the chocolate bust people to email her at her site. She said to make her a size zero, but she's really a size 4. She loves to mention her size, doesn't she? Why would Miss Fitness want anything to do with Chocolate? I guess a statue of yourself would be a narcissist's dream.
Important Twitter update from Kate:
She's now ready to go take her shower in preparation for going out with her Marathon Girls!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Good grief.)
Sarah Hart 31, of Kentucy was murdered yesterday while running alone. Sherry Arnold of Montana was running alone in January and was later found dead. There's probably a list somewhere on the internet of all the women (and men) who have been abducted, raped, attacked in some way or murdered while running alone.
Kate is stupid if she's doing this and then advertising it on twitter. Does she think it won't happen to her? She has eight kids that need a mother, even if it IS Kate. Or is she lying about running solo, too?
How nice that Barbie actually has some friends to play with, & do drinks/ dinner, on a weekend sans kids. How normal. And yet, how tacky to spend the whole effing afternoon twitting about it. Did our tweeties need to know you're off to take a shower? One only hopes your 'girls' are still there when you get out. Clueless.
Her "marathon girls," her "mowing boys"...she had similar demeaning, condescending names for the zoo guide in New Zealand and the jumping guide. Kate doesn't see people as human beings, but as props for her ego or as objects to accomplish her list of tasks. It will always and forever be all about her and no one else.
Sometimes I ask myself why I am so hard on her and then I just read her latest tweet, and, once again, I know.
Unless Kate takes pics of herself and her girlfriend.
I'm going to think that she's lying and is having dinner with Steve.
It really is obvious why Kate doesn't have very many friends isn't it? Her horrid personality aside, she does treat these people like props meant to boost her up, and disrespects them by tweeting about it the whole time, using them to make herself look good on twitter.
She says it is a 'rare treat' to see 'her marathon girls'...didn't she meet them once? That's rare alright!
Re: size 4: I don't believe she wears size 4. I do, and i am much shorter (5 ft2) and smaller than Kate- she's in good shape but not size 4- she's not built to be, and I hate when people act like being a small size is a great accomplishment. It's also bad for her girls to hear of this fixation on smaller is better - except for her 'good bra' of course That would not fit into the size 4 clothing I have!
Kate tweeted to the chocolate bust people to email her at her site. She said to make her a size zero, but she's really a size 4.
=====
Oy... It's a "bust" and no, Kate, that doesn't mean chocolate boobies. She'll be grifting for a ton of freebies though, sure as hell.
Maybe if they stick some long ears on hers they'll pass for really ugly Easter bunnies.

Ha, chefsummer, I'm w/ you!
One of her "marathon girls" daughters confirmed that Kate, Paula and Ellen were meeting up. How convenient that they confirmed her story.
Carmen Congelio@CarmyCarm11
@Kateplusmy8 have fun with my mommy and aunt this weekend. Me @AlexRaeLamar and @MariaCongelio will be thinking of you lovely ladies!
Just because she says the marathon girls are coming doesn't necessarily make it so. What is she having a sleep over at the ripe old age of 37. Do adult women still have sleep overs. Wonder if they share her bed like J. did complete with photos. I think she just doesn't want people to think that she is alone and holed up in her "room" tweeting the weekend away.
I doubt Kate even checked out that site that wants to make a chocolate figure of her. According to their website, she first has to pay $75 to have the figure made up. Then she can retweet about it, and if 4 of her fans buy it for $25 a pop, she will be refunded the $75.
She can also make $5 per order, for every order that her fans pay $25 for.
http://cocome.co/start.html
So this chocolate site is for anyone, not just 'celebs.' Pretty crafty of them to ask vain Kate- sure to say yes. I wonder how they make it- will they coat Kate in chocolate and cut it off when hard?? Like a plaster cast? Can you imagine! I bet some sheeple will buy one and preserve it forever. Or pervy 'fans' might...oh, never mind! lol
The chocolate site looks like a scam to me. The ones they show aren't too good or numerous. Kate is such a sucker when it comes to her 'fame'
Once a Viewer -- I'm with you. I don't think she's a size 4 either. I'm 5'1, used to weigh less than 100# (Oh to see those days again, LOL) and could barely fit into a size 4. I had a lot less going on in the bust than KK does, too. I'd say she's a good 6, more likely an 8. She may be thin, but she's not small framed and she's definitely busty, thanks to her "good bra".
The chocolate site has also been tweeting other celebs, so Kate shouldn't feel that she is oh so special. It's just another scam, trying to make money off of celebrities. Who in their right mind would pay $25 for a chocolate replica of Kate?
Would they dare eat it-or would they have it bronzed and add it to their "Memories of Kate" collection?
Franky don't you mean pushing gardens.
I also live in Quebec and my daughter plants a garden, or should I say 3 different gardens. She's so into gardening, and I detest it, I can't stand any earth under my nails nor do I like digging into the earth. I think the gardening gene comes from her grandfather, certainly not from her father nor me. She's due to have her baby on June 24 and as I'm reading this blog at the same time I'm looking at her with her big belly weeding her garden with my son-in-law. She's radiant, this is her 3rd child and I don't know where she gets the energy.
All this to say that I do benefit from her garden. We share the deck, pool, and yard. I have access to her radishes, echalottes, salad, spinach, beets, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, beans, beets, rhubarb, strawberries, peas, carrots, jalapenos, crabapples, apples, plums, pears, and I'm sure I've missed a few.
In the fall she's into the whole pickeling and preserves, and again I benefit because I have access to anything I want. Last year we counted 46 different kinds of jars of preserves and pickeling she did.
My DD and SIL built a new home 2 years ago and because I've been a widow for the past 17 years, they also included a mother-in-law suite to their house. I'm blessed to have my grandchildren close to me, and the feeling is likewise, because I do help them out also and they appreciate me being close by.
Franky - profites-en de ton été car il fait si froid ici l'hiver, on le mérite bien!
The chocolate site has also been tweeting other celebs, so Kate shouldn't feel that she is oh so special. It's just another scam, trying to make money off of celebrities. Who in their right mind would pay $25 for a chocolate replica of Kate?
&&&
She really desperately needs a manager or someone to help her discern what she should put her name on and what she doesn't. It's like a lot of quick money scams or small businesses looking for a name, they contact 300 celebs hoping one or two will be stupid enough to respond. They didn't seek out Kate specifically, they sought out whoever is a sucker. You spend half your day as a celeb throwing offers in the garbage. She doesn't get it. Her intelligence and common sense really are pretty sad aren't they?
My kids would always bite the ears off of their chocolate Easter bunny -- probably because they stuck out. Wonder what you'd bite first off a chocolate Kate ... hahaha

THANK YOU!! Another thing to add to my anti-squirrels in the garden kit. I love the squirrels. They're adorable, but not when they're digging in the garden!
Nik Wallenda's accomplishment last night was amazing, as was ABC's camera angles. Love when his dad asked him how the harness was feeling and he replied "it feels fine, but makes me feel like a jackass"! I for one was so relieved to see him wearing it. Didn't diminish his accomplishment in the least. I remember as a kid seeing his great-grandfather fall to his death on the news. Something I never want to see again.
Glad Kate actually has friends to go to dinner with. I'm sure we'll see pap photos since they follow her so relentlessly! :)
For $25.00, I assume the chocolatish Kate will be hollow-headed, wouldn't you say?
Now we know what the kids will be getting for Halloween. But only if they sell enough to get their own for free.

Amen, Admin. If I were to care enough to go look, I might find his twitter feed has sent the same message to a host of people. I remember that one business woman who was sending out kid's clothes come-ons to about every person with a child. Kate latched on and got something free. This guy's got a statues of Pacino. I wonder if that was an actual order, or if the guy just did it for the advertising of his business.
Forever will I feel that Kate does not enjoy motherhood. I only watched K+8 but I never saw he happy with her children except in brief moments but I could count on 1 hand the amount of times she was smiling or laughing. She was constantly screaming, disciplining and the fear on their faces? That is what I saw. The boat ride where the children got sick was like Kate was on speed and some drug which gave her a high to be able to show the camera' that look at what her children did, puked and all over them. I read while waiting to pick up grandkids that reality TV moves into your house so unexpectedly. I think what I read was a former model Beverly Johnson saying how unprepared she was for Reality Central to set up in her garage and in her basement. She said she was trying to please everyone yet pretend that she was having a normal conversation with her married daughter and then I thought of our dear Kate who assured the world the kids just played while the cameras filmed. What a liar she is. If she wasn't fighting with Jon, having a bird over something the kids did, then she was screaming at the kids again and again and again.
No way does that women like motherhood or love those kids. I guess the twins are the new mothers. This woman has nothing specific to say about any of the little kids as she does not know any of their specific talents or skills or abilities. Nothing about how they handled being in Conn other than they are a Road Show now. Pay for Kate and she will bring her look alike children for you to stare at. Not a mother is she.
Wonder if she helped her kids buy a father's day gift? She gives them money to buy her mother's day gifts but the real question is does she help her children feel it is okay to love Dad on Father's Day?
Did you notice that Kate replied to the chocolate offer Tweet with her email? She used to refer Twitter offers to her manager. No manager anymore?
"Wonder if she helped her kids buy a father's day gift?"
She did tweet about birthday shopping for Jon with the twins. Maybe she did help them shop for Father's Day and didn't tweet about it! Imagine that!
The chocolate bust comments are too funny. Shouldn't there be plastic surgery fillers in the chocolate?
Has anyone looked at who Kate follows on twitter. She started following Milo and Elvis during the SD marathon. THEN she started following Coupon Cabin. Her last follow was Emily due to the Litchfield race.
She started with CC back in November and NOW she starts following them? CC has also tweeted about the mini marathon in Chicago. Why isn't Kate tweeting about it or retweeting CC?
She only promotes what she wants to promote. I'm surprised CC hasn't realized that yet.
Help please! My miniature poodle got a nasty little cut on his ear (high up near his head) at the groomers a couple of days ago. They showed it to me and told me they put silver nitrate on it. It has not been bleeding at all, but I can see a large, thick black area that looks like a scab. I read online about silver nitrate being used to cauterize wounds, but that it is poisonous, so now I am worried. Does anyone have any experience with dogs and cuts? My little guy seems fine, but I am worried about infection. I haven't taken him to the vet yet because it doesn't seem to be bothering him. I would appreciate any insight.
Thanks.

Will Steve have to approve the bust size?
Bet the marathon triplets are in NYC at Kate's favorite fig and olive place, then off for a toe-lickin' good time around the town. Steve will have to do double duty... keep an eye out for the illusive Gosselin sniper and play the pap. She goes nowhere without him.
Does Nerf make sniper guns?
Oh, apparently so!

I would definitely call your yet- I know silver nitrate is often used on a wound but you want to get all the information with regard to use on a small dog: I believe it works well. Also, they can tell you how to tend to the wound as it heals and perhaps the vet should look at it. It must have been a deep cut to require this, so maybe think about changing groomers. My dog often had nicks and little cuts at one groomers and since I switched, nothing like that.(cockerpoo, so half poodle!)
I hope your dog does well- you too!

It's always better to be safe than sorry.
I would give the vet a call, and just ask.
In the meantime, it's good to hear that your doggie is not in pain, or bleeding, or that the wound is not infected.
Hopefully your mini poodle will be fine.
Take care-
Pink
Oh I don't know...I think there would be a few buyers for the chocolate Kate,,,just for the pleasure of biting her head off!
These two women are not buddy buddy with Kate. First, they are quite a bit older than her. Pushing 50 if I recall. And second, they must be passing through for some reason and they are all meeting up. Hanging out with 50 somethings when you are 37 is not what most women do unless you are hard up for social interaction. Also, could someone please give me that link for the cutting room floor episode that was posted a few days ago. I searched high and low and could not locate it.

Steve Neild aka "The Nerfinator"
Gee, Kate looks super classy in her big, clunky white shoes and her strapless booby top. What a nice combo with her bleached/fried hair. She looks incredibly top heavy.
http://img.ly/jEIq
Her "girls" are sure traveling south. They will soon be below her hemline. She'll have to pick up a Maryland voter registration for them.
It's a real shame she can't just go away and go out with friends and not have it all be a Twitter "episode."
It appears the girls are really there as she's now posted a picture of the 3 of them on twitter. She's in the middle, in the same old sideways pose in order to look thinner, short black skirt and what I call a tube top. Size 4--"yeah in your bra" to quote Jim Carrey in 'Liar, Liar'. The outfit would look better on a 22 year old, the other ladies look classy.
Go away Kate.
Tate, you are right about the big, clunky white shoes...they are hideous and not right for that outfit. Kate doesn't have a clue.
Pose sideways and say cheese for Steve.

No if they put long ears on hers she will just look even more like a twin to the donkey on Shrek.
Why Kate would want to hang out with ladies over 10 years older than her is beyond me.
They look like they have money too.
"Aww the girls and I ready for dinner...."
Yeah we can see that, but what about Ellen and Paula?
~~~~~~~~~
Ingrid - you know what, you're right. Exactly like the Shrek donkey. lol!
twitter friend pic:
Kate, white shoes? WHITE??
what kind of good bra are you rocking with that tube top?
Please get some bangs! Teresa Guidice called and wants her forehead back (looks like Kate is sporting two entire foreheads).
Did you buy any of your clothing at a resale shop? Kate clearly didn't buy them three sizes too big.
Her friend to the left is sporting more plastic than Kate (didn't think that was possible).
And last, Kate, get your roots touched up. (does anyone think Kate might look better with her natural hair color? that long hair REALLY makes her face look extra long).
Who took the pic, Kate? (and why was it necessary? to prove you have 'friends'?)
Call Me, when my pups get a scratch or cut, they tend to get a big ugly scab for a week or so. Then the scab falls off and there is only a tiny spot on their skin, usually covered by fur. If the surrounding skin is not red or swollen, and the dog its not uncomfortable, it will probably be ok. Good idea to check with vet.
Has anyone ever found any info on those two women --whether they have something Kate would want? Contacts with media, producer type husbands, free merchandise?
We know she only uses her "friends" for what they can do for her.
"Has anyone ever found any info on those two women"
Doesn't one work at the university Kate spoke at last year? And aren't the women sisters? I don't know of any show biz connections.
Kate's dress reminds of something from the TV show Three's Company. She's trying to be a twenty something California blonde from the 1970s.
Thanks, Once a Viewer and Pink. I have changed groomers a couple of times because of other minor injuries. It is frustrating. I am going to call the vet just to be safe. Thanks again.
Thank you for the help, JoyinVirginia.
Call Me Crazy, wishing the best for you and your little pooch!
Just got back from our friends' and they showed us their community garden. It's on their property, but they let some of their neighbors plant their veggies and herbs there. She said everyone has a plot (a good sized one at that) and they plant whatever they want. Then they all share the bounty.
One neighbor plants mostly herbs; another does mostly corn; others do a variety of vegetables. Our friends plant pumpkins in half of their garden plot. Then they have the neighbors' kids come over and pick their own in the fall.
I thought that was such a great idea so she gave me some pumpkin seeds. When the hubby does his Father's Day golf outing tomorrow, I'm going to plant them along our back fence and she how they do. It'd be such a kick to let the grandsons and some neighborhood kids come and pick their own pumpkins!
crazy. I use children's polysporin on my dog.
My vet admitted the ingtedients were the same as his 70 doolar tube.
It's amazing what we learn when we read the labels.
It also worked when bf's cat had an abcess friday. We drained ir, disinfected and polyspoeined it. Brought to vet Monday.he dexlared a clean wound and good job.
always check with your vet
I get such a kick out of Kate's GN tweet, and then she continues to tweet for 30-45 minutes AFTER she tweets GN. She just can't seem to put that phone down, can she?
BluebirOui jen profite..lol
Echalottes, j'avais oublier! Merci
A third grand-child due on our National Holiday..what a blessing.
May just go to "notre spectacle" at the park for the first time..I am within walking distance afteral.

Okay. I just woke the cat with my giggling. There should be a side-by-side posting of Kate in the black swimsuit at Key West and this one with the "girls" tucked in for the night. If those things get deflated or sag, is it possible to pump them up? I know nothing about implants. I keep hearing that old kids' song in my head, but change the words, "Do your boobs hang low, do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow? Can you throw them over your shoulder like a Continental soldier? Do your boobs hang low?"
franky, it's been almost 40 years since I took French in high school so I couldn't decipher all of your post. However I did decipher that a third grandchild is coming! Congratulations!! Grandkids truly are a blessing.
Okay Moose I just woke the dog laughing at you comment. Unfortunately now I've got that song running through my head and I need some brain bleach to get rid of the visual of Kate dancing naked to that song.
Moose Mania
Dang girl... u owe me a phone. Wow..wwhat a gteat memory!
thanks
.guess we went to camp in the 70:d..atleast I learned it at Camp Kannasake lol
Kate's hair didn't look particularly stunning in that photo with her Marathon Girls. I guess she really does need a professional to make her look good. Ick.
Omg..just watched the video...was nostalgic.
Thank you. It reminded me of Mr. Scofield grade 5 Chatham Ontario. And that in Canada we have a " nominate great teacher" award. I tried to find him and nominate him 2 years ago. I am going to try again. I am still, 25 years latet, inspired by him.
Wow..tjank you
hehe Moose...do they make a hollow sound when they're dragging on the ground?
Thanks a lot. Now I can't get that stupid song out of my head either.
Where is Gosselin Give Back - I think it is nice to have friends of different ages. For Ms. kreider to hang out with someone a little more mature who could give her some advice would not be a bad thing. We have a neighborhood ladies group that gets together regularly, we have women from early thirties to their seventies, and we have fun together! I do sometimes feel sorry for Ms. kreider, I think she has chased away most people in her life. If she could maintain friendships that would be nice for her. Probably won't happen, but it would be nice.
Kate's " marathon girls" look classy... Kate looks trashy....
Could she not have done something with her hair??
Looks like she just finished her jog and threw on the dress. Did she twitter for too long and then didnt have enough time to shampoo and blow dry out her hair?
She is so obsessed with her weight, it's frightening. Why would she want to be a size 0? I think she has body dismorphic disorder. The message she is sending to her 5 daughters is tragic.
I am glad that Kate has some friends.
Too bad they aren't the kind of friends who could gently suggest a more appropriate outfit.
Re crying at "Hunger Games" film and the reason: Khate does not have enough higher brain function or reasoning skills to see the correlation between it and what was done to her kids. And if by some chance she did, blind squirrel and the nut theory, her narcissism would keep her from seeing it as a negative. She'd probably see it as a compliment.
SoCalLocal, I completely agree with you. Kate has a very disturbing view of self image and "beauty". She eats unhealthy, is obsessed with being thin, tan, blonde, has had procedures done that she thinks improves her looks. Yet she is absolutely empty when it comes to inner beauty and obviously doesn't think it's important.
The fact that this screwed up woman is raising 5 daughters and, by her actions, is passing on these views to them, is tragic indeed. Tween and teen girls usually can have a negative self image to begin with. Instead of Kate instilling acceptance and self confidence in them, she is setting the example of never be satisfied with how you look naturally, because it isn't good enough.

"Just finished a fun run/major gab session w my marathon girls! Was so wonderful to run between them again!..."
------------------------------------------------
Apparently she can't just run WITH two other people - she has to run BETWEEN them. Either she hasn't noticed they're not bodyguards, or she really likes driving wedges between people. Would it kill this needy-ass twit to let her cohorts run next to each other occasionally?
I agree that Kate should leave the tube tops for her daughters- they are only accentuating that the 'good' bra' is sinking!! The two ladies with her look quite nice.
Moose: LOL I remember that version of the song. Count me in as now hearing it in my head, as I type this!! Very appropriate to the occasion.
Crazy: maybe your vet will know of a better groomer. The one I go to is affiliated with the vet clinic and there is someone on call for incidents such as your dog suffered.

"Aww the girls and I ready for dinner...."
Yeah we can see that, but what about Ellen and Paula?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So funny! You crack me up.
just read a dumb article which stated Kate was only out for an hr before tweeting she was home and going to bed? What? That would barely give the group a chance to order a drink.
And what's this about, linking Kate to Russell Brand?
Why do I read these things!!
No Franky I won't go to the 'feu de joie' for St-Jean this year, I'll be staying close by to take care of my grandchildren when their mother goes to have the baby. This will be my 5th grandchild, I have 2 in Montreal but do not see them that often.
Why does Kate feel that she has to let her tweeties know when she takes a shower? And if she really did take that shower I think she forgot to wash her hair, it looks greasy.
Happy Father's day to all those great Dads out there!
Tube tops are cute on young, small chested women. Kate is neither.
Short skirt and silly shoes that don't match the outfit. I am by no means a style maven, but I know more than she does about getting dressed up. As my mom would have said, "She looks on the prowl."
The other two ladies look classy and that makes Kate look even more inappropriate.
Know why she was so excited to have them there? So could show off the estate. Not realizing that those women come from money and aren't gonna be impressed with anything Kate has.
Wonder if they fill the Beth role on her life...

She is so obsessed with her weight, it's frightening. Why would she want to be a size 0? I think she has body dismorphic disorder. The message she is sending to her 5 daughters is tragic.
-------
Only thing that comes to my mind, is that her former friend Jamie stated she always told Kate, "You are not Angelina Jolie".....could be a reference to diva behavior, body image or both.
Back to gardening -- I have 5 of the cast iron pots shown in my profile photo. They look great, but in the heat of summer they turn into "ovens" and any flowers I plant bake. Even if I am faithful with watering, they cannot survive when the cast iron gets hot to the touch. The stem will actually scorch when any flower falls over the fluted edge.
I have had success planting a bush that grows straight up. However, it is a lush green and I would like the color of flowers. This year I have planted Lantana (Love that flower!) in the pots. It hasn't gotten hot enough for the heat test yet.
Anyone here have a suggestion for a colorful planting? I was hoping someone from the Southwest would know of a plant that we might not have here. Thanks.
Dmasy:
Funny, I was just going to comment on your beautiful pro picture! Is that at the front of your home? It's lovely. :)
So is it really a girls night if the bodyguard comes along?
Unless Steve is one of the girls then heeey why not-lol.
Once a Viewer, thank you.
This is going to sound like one of those outrageous statements anonymous people make on the internet, but I am telling the truth. 5 years ago, hubby bought me over 500 tons of UniLock tumble stone. (He got a bargain on pallets!) They were mine to "play" with. I got some hardscape books and studied lots of pictures. Took me four summers, but I got it done -- one block at a time. The current profile picture is the entry to a small walled courtyard that leads to the front door that NO ONE ever uses!
I created retaining walls, re-surfaced a wooden deck, made two fire pits and walled in an English-type garden bed with a stone pathway. I can keep changing my profile pictures to show you some of the effects.
Needless to say, I don't ever have attractive manicured looking nails!
Dmasy said... 80
I am glad that Kate has some friends.
Too bad they aren't the kind of friends who could gently suggest a more appropriate outfit.
___________________________________
Lol.... She really needs to go back to "her" Ann Taylor Loft and revisit some of those looks.
This is the crap that really irks me. Black gladiator spike shoes and short shorts in the middle of a weekday at Target. Daisy Dukes and god awful red pumps while pumping gas. Dressing up like an extra from "Three's Company." But don't look at me, don't talk to me, don't take my picture.. I'm just a private citizen. Uhh huhh.
Happy Father's Day to Sport and any other Dads who visit here!! Have a fun and relaxing day!
Dmasy:
lol, re: nails. I never bother too much in the summer other than a coat or two of pale polish- more attention to toes for sandals etc. Too much wear and tear outside.
Well, that was certainly well worth the time and effort. Actually that was a great gift from your husband, and you are so creative! You must really enjoy your property when all is in bloom, and from the fire pits too. I would insist people use the front door! If I visit you, I promise to!lol
(If Kate does read here, she could pick up some good tips for her property)
Wow, Dmasy!!! You really threw yourself in hardscaping, didn't you? I'll bet it looks beautiful.
Happy Father's Day to all the terrific dads and grandpas out there.
WHO took the picture?????

WHO took the picture?????

I bet Steve did since it probably came from her iPhone.
Wow Dmasy! That's just beautiful. I love to garden but haven't tried any stone work. I really want to cover my ugly cement patio somehow (maybe flagstone or something cheaper like that colored, stamped cement). Lantana is my favorite flower, too. It's impossible to kill, will survive blazing hot sun or a little shade, and the prickly leaves keep the bunnies away. More pictures please!
TLC - Shoka with his amazing door-opening abilities has now learned to use a camera. She probably had opposable thumbs implanted on the poor thing.
Dmasy - 94 That is so beautiful. Are the stones cemented in? I can't tell from the size of the pic on your profile page.
Dmasy, thanks, I will make plans, hehe. And you are invited here, although I hope you like Home Depot outside decor.*shame* lol. But don't come this week- expecting a humid heatwave, ugh.
I know the restaurant where Kate and her girls went last night. The food is fantastic. We go there quite often. It's a great place and their cioppino (spelling?) is to die for. There aren't many restaurants in the area that offer it. However, I have never seen anyone dress like that to have dinner. Never. If those three paraded in there like that they would have commanded attention and turned heads. I wonder if that's the reason they dressed to the nines, one with a long dress. They wanted to be noticed and recognized as women of importance. It's ridiculous.
Dmasy, I see in your comment now, they're Unilock stones. I'd love to do some of that.

If I bring cookies & sun tea, would you allow me visiting privileges, too?
I'm sure that Kate feels that she looks younger, fresher, more beautiful by standing between the two older women. Katie, Katie, Katie, your hair looks a mess, your outfit is all wrong and the shoes don't match and you look their age (or close to it). You don't look the 10+years younger than them that you are. Oh yes and as has been stated above the girls are starting to go south. The bigger they are the lower they fall!
Happy Father's day to Sport, Jon and all dads out there. One of our Father's Day traditions (started when our son was young) is to put a dog treat in the card and then hand it to the dog and say "will you please hold this so I can read the card?". We then act very surprised when the dog eats the treat. We then say "hey you werebsupposed to hold it not eat it!". Our son used to laugh and laugh at this. He's grown and out of the house and we're on our third bully but the tradition continues.
Improbable -- certainly. We will sit in the shade and sip!
Thank you ladies for all your compliments. Stonework is hard but very satisfying. I got better as I went along. I learned so much.
The results feel so permanent -- different from pulling weeds!
It would be cool to meet everyone- all ages- if you all promise no tube tops or stilettos!
~~~
It is odd the pic was taken at 10:22 before dinner, and then she's back home on twitter at 11:48? Who 'dresses up' and stays less than an than an hour? (factor in driving hither and thither?)
So it's a more casual restaurant, Over in Berks? Kate would be 'recognized' for sure in that get-up , but no mob scene!
I agree that those two women, whom Kate has never mentioned since she ran with them in LA, where most likely passing through. Looks like the picture was taken in front of their hotel.
Funny about Shoka :) He probably did a doggie dance when he saw her pulling out of the driveway.
Oh, Happy Father's Day, Steve, from your abandoned sons.
Anybody find it disconcerting that she has this rather unhealthy obsession with the number 8? She stops to count to see if there is 8 of baby animals? It's not sad, it's weird. It's just plain weird that she goes so out of her way to make sure that 8 is her number at all times.
8 kids, Kate plus 8, 8 this, 8 that. Kate, yeah, get some help. You may have 8 kids but your kids are all individual, not identical in any way with different emotions, likes and dislikes. They are not a package of 8, count 'em 8 Little Debbie Cupcakes.
What, would she be just as obsessed with the number 9 or 7, or it because that 8 and 6 are both even and therefore she thinks is cool or funny? It's not, I still think it's really weird.
We get it, Kate. The whole freaking world knows you have 8 count them 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
Queen Bee Katie says Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there, but nothing specific to HER dad, or the father of her children.
AND , she better stop throwing Jon under the bus, as today her words of wisdom inform everyone that your kids turn out to be just like their fathers! Thank goodness for that, otherwise they might turn out like her and THAT would NOT be good!
I laugh at the picture showing up on twitter AFTER a few people here said they wouldn't believe it unless she posted a picture!!! HA Ha
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8
Happy Fathers Day to all great dads out there.You are who your kids are likely to become.B the best u can b for them today&always!
**************************************************
Wise words from Kate? Is Jon a 'great' father in her eyes or is this a dig? She's so slimey.
Thanks Berks for your comments, as I was thinking all 3 women looked ovedressed for a dinner out with friends. Red dress looked like on the way to a wedding. Pants, jeans, dressy tops, that's what we wear out here, and as I was actiually out last night to one of LA's hottest places (friend's b-day dinner), I can say that Kate + 2 were way on the prowl. Not the right idea. And Kate honey, those other girls you took out, those babes need straps, that tube top looked ridiculous, not to mention you are way old to rock that look. And yes, your 50 yr old friends look younger than you. If you were not determined to show as much skin as possible, you might actually look good in a graceful, fashion forward maxi dress like your friend did in the pic. Done here, sorry, usually do not comment on her appearance, but if you put it out there . . .
Just when I think Kate can't be any more of an ass she proves me wrong. A tweetie told her she couldn't make the run in Chicago because she'd be on vacation in Alaska. Did Kate tell her to have a great time? Nooooooooo. Kate replied "word of caution: don't camp by water when closest road is 100 miles away, ok? :) #justsayin ". She is once again showing what an ungrateful bitch she is. That trip to AK was a once in a lifetime, all expenses paid trip that the kids were enjoying. Your attitude on that trip is one of the reasons you were cancelled. #bitchplease
Guess Kate won't be calling or visiting her father today? I doubt it.
I wasn't too impressed with her friends' get-ups either; looked like they were trying to hard.
A local upthread said their attire was over the top for that restaurant...Kate better be careful...her 'friends' wont' give her freebies and hand-me-downs if she keeps flaunting the crazy clothing and her new sports car.
Thank you kind ladies for the FD wishes!
It's funny Admin started a gardening thread. It has been one of the things I have tried to jump into the last 3 years since my divorce. With a 12 yr old daughter (also a son) I have really made an effort to learn certain skills and hobbies that I thought her and I could share together. Including stuff like sewing, doing her hair, etc.
Last weekend I planted 18 plants/flowers in our yard. Last summer I built a couple of above ground planter boxes to go around our pool (wait - people beside kHate have pools??)
It's not as easy as it looks.
I was killing off everything!
I seem to have found our groove now finally, and the flowers, veggies, ground cover and new herb garden are doing pretty well. I skimmed this thread and there are lots of great ideas from you folks I am looking forward to trying. Now if I could just figure out sewing. Grrrr. Trying to make drapes for my daughters room. Again - its hard for me!
Have a great day everyone. The men in your lives are lucky to have such compassionate and intelligent partners.
It's light outside when the picture was taken. Could't be 10:22. It's not taken at the Green Hills Inn either. The Inn is white with green shutters.
BTW ... forgot to mention the FIRST message I get each Fathers Day is from my ex-wife. She writes a very articulate and caring email to me about all the fatherly things I do for our kids. She tells our kids often how 'lucky' they are to have a dad that makes sacrifices daily and always put them first. Makes me teary-eyed and I usually write it off as allergies ;)
I only wish the G8 were told nice things about their dad and were allowed to have feelings for both parents without that intimidating, insecure nag and her manic tweeting always making it about herself.
Cheers.
It is odd the pic was taken at 10:22 before dinner, and then she's back home on twitter at 11:48? Who 'dresses up' and stays less than an than an hour? (factor in driving hither and thither?)

-----------
It was still light outside when the photo was taken, wasn't it, so it wasn't taken that late. If I remember correctly, the restaurant stops serving dinner around 9 p.m. or so. It is not casual, but it's not long gown or cocktail dresses either.
Happy Father's Day, Jon. I hope you're having a lovely, pap free, anonymous day with YOUR 8. Happy Father's Day, Sport, and any other father here.
I think that picture was taken long before KK twitted it out. It appears to be full daylight when it was taken. I suspect she didn't send it out to her little minions until after the fact. There's no way they could get to the restaurant, be served, eat, and her be back at home in less than an hour.
NJGal -- You said exactly what I thought when I saw that twitpic. If I didn't know who she was and didn't know about the age difference, I would have said they were contemporaries, or even possibly pegged KK as the oldest of the 3. She is not being kind to her skin, her hair, her face, or her body.
Kate's encouraging her tweeties to plan a meet and run if they can coordinate it. LOLOL I guess all those dullards have forgotten about the MN meet n greet that never panned out after that poor Austin kid did all that work getting a meeting place, etc.
But someone with "hotel connections" is suggesting Tenn. Maybe Milo can go!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kate's response to someone trying to organize a run with a group of "tweeers" in Kate's area...
"...Aug is hard Bc my kids start sch so early...Ok dm/keep me postedviaemail.I don't always get to all my tweets"
----------------------------------------------
...but she would have had no problem going on the ill-fated cruise in August if it had happened? Those kids sure provide handy-dandy excuses for her when convenient.
I can't believe she pulled out the old August/school excuse! lol I guess that's only reserved for when no one is paying for her appearance somewhere.
Kate's not going on any run with her fans. First, they're all spread out, one in each of a few states Ill, Tenn, Maine, VA. They'll never agree to a place and especially a time that is convenient for Kate. July-to soon, Aug-kids start school, Sept-Oct-marathons to run, blah, blah, blah. Kate knows it, we know it. Her fans a dolts.
Happy Father's Day, Sport. How wonderful that you and your ex have such a great relationship, always put the kids first, and do what's right for them. You both are very mature and keep your kids your priorities. I wish all divorced couples could behave in such a manner for the sake of their children.
And one of Kate's latest tweets is just more proof of her immaturity. She is thanking some tweeties for making it "their mission" to get rid of hate towards her, and that she appreciates it. How warped is this adolescent that is responsible for raising 8 other adolescents to adulthood?
She is not only a bully herself, but congratulates her followers for being bullies, too, if it's on her behalf. What an a$$.
Kate tweeted that she misses her grandfather "bitterly" every day. LOL. What does that even mean?? I guess she is bitter about everything in her life.
And the girls' get together that some fan is suggesting---that will never happen unless Kate's airfare, deluxe hotel, meals, etc are paid for by the minions. And Stevie's way would have to be paid for too, of course.
I'm surprised she didn't take the girls to Stokesay Castle in Reading. I haven't been there for some time but it used to be excellent, so I don't know how the food is now, but it's an impressive place with an interesting history. Her friends would have liked it, I'm sure. It's so very different from other places. Maybe Kate doesn't know about it. Next time, Kate, try Stokesay and report back on the food! Oh, and don't forget photos! :-)
In answer to the "Sep-nov b4 cold" get together, she answered, "yes. When I don't have my kids over weekend would be perfect!" Not that I think this 'event' will ever take place, but why couldn't she answer, "Yes, a weekend when the children are with their father." instead of "when I don't have my kids"??

@Chablis4u @kimberlyyyx3omg - love how hearsay and fabrication are part of your mentality. If you didn't witness it first hand, shut up
########
Is this typical sheeple logic? If you don't witness something wrong then you just keep quiet about it? You just stick your head in the sand and pretend it isn't happening? What is wrong with these people? It's because so many saw what was happening to children on reality television that new laws were drafted to protect them. Nobody witnessed this first-hand or personally, but thank goodness, nobody shut up about it.
Happy Fathers Day to all great dads out there.You are who your kids are likely to become.B the best u can b for them today&always!
====
She couldn't just wish the dads out there a happy fathers day she had to throw in a mini lecture because Kate Gosselin is a smart woman who knows everything there is to know about everything. Lord knows she steered Jon in the right direction which was right out the door. The man couldn't do anything without her nattering in his face. Go away Kate. Shut your piehole and let Jon have his day with HIS kids you miserable effing parental alienator.
Twitter is her vehicle to say whatever she wants whether it's true or not ! And she doesn't even bother to tweet that she is visiting her dad. WTH!! She must be confident her followers will love her no matter what! I lived about 4 hours away from my parents and I always visited them on Mothers/Fathers Day. Now that they are not here anymore I'm glad I did!
MESSAGE TO KATE'S FANS:
She tweets you and carries a conversation with you because she's using you!!!
You are her personal tools! She has never liked and never will! If it wasn't for you she would be talking to the mirror telling herself how beautiful she is, what a great mother she is and then RT
I don't want to be mean but truth needs to be told I don't know who is a bigger
Idiot you guys or Kate! Ummmmmm!!
Those women might be 10-15 years older than Kate, but they all look about the same age. Kate doesn't have enough sense in her head to know she's aging herself quickly with all the tanning and dieting. She doesn't look healthy.
Dmasy, your stonework is gorgeous. My husband is in charge of the hardscaping and I'm in charge of the landscaping and we love it. There's a stone quarry about 30 minutes from us and he loves nothing more than to putz around there for half a Saturday. He cracks me up. Buying rocks and stone. But it's fine by me, we decide together how it will go into our yard and then he does that work and I dig and plant around it.
Last summer, he extended our patio from 10 square feet (tiny!) to over 300 square feet with pavers by himself. And it was his first time to do it. He went to a couple of workshops at the quarry then just tackled it head on. I was so proud of him and love to tell people he did it.
Then he had a gorgeous redwood pergola put in, attached to the back of the house. He had electricity wired to it, and installed outdoor ceiling fans, a motion detector light on one corner, rope lights inside (they look very nice), and a bug light on the other outside corner (you can't see it, but it works!). Then he wired up a stereo system with outdoor speakers. The man is amazing.
Meanwhile, I was killing myself digging beds around the new area, but it's worth it, isn't it? I felt broken for a few days, physically, but now we can sit out there with our coffee and enjoy how pretty it looks.
I love gardening.
AMD, good point. My gosh, she would have NO good excuse if five or six people ended up meeting up right there in her neck of Pennsylvania, would she? I mean, if they came to her, what could she say? She's busy?
But she can jaunt off to NY for hair? She can fly across the country to run in a little 5K? And like you pointed out, the damn cruise was scheduled for August!
She's so completely and utterly LAME. Why haven't her handful of fans figured out by now that if it doesn't generate something for HER (money, a trip, etc.) she's NOT INTERESTED. If she were, she would have already gotten together with a few people in her area who were fans (that Brownie person, for instance).
She's all about "what can you do for me?"
Can anyone post a link of Kate's photo? I've got to see this tube top dress! Does it have a good bra built in?
Gardening- love it but my yard isn't really conducive to a big one, so I've unsuccessfully tried to container garden for the past few years. I'm not giving up though. I hung 2 Topsy Turvey's with tomatoes and they promptly fell off their hooks. Undeterred, I hung them back up. What the hell. I did buy one other tomato plant at a nearby nursery. It already had 2 tomatoes growing on it, so I feel positive and will of course take all the credit if they actually ripen and don't shrivel up!
You all have also inspired me with your charity ideas. I can't remember who told the story of donations and people needing underwear, but it got me to thinking that along with getting donation food items at Costco, I should pick up some undies. So, I got men's, women's and children's undie packs to donate, along with a couple huge cereal boxes.
Dmasy- wow! that stone work is amazing! DH built a couple stacked stone walls around our front berms and it is a labor of love. Saved us THOUSANDS. He's amazing, I tell 'ya. I bought him a gift certificate to a nice spa to say "thank you".
I also bought something that I've wanted for years-- flower boxes to go on my second floor front windows. Geraniums, impatience and some hanging greens look beautiful. So cheerful, it makes me happy just to look at them.
So Kate is sitting by her pool with her 'marathon girls' waiting for the kids to return to the 'nest.' Someone wished her a Happy Father's Day to which she replied just doing my best, blah, blah
Want a picture poolside, Kate!!
Kate's sitting by the pool w/ her "marathon girls"...hadn't seen that tweet. But she just REtweeted an old tweet from one of her "child followers," saying how great she is.
Kate, you are so pathetic, so predictable, so vain, so self-absorbed, so transparent, and so mentally ill.
Oh, and, Kate, it's RUDE to be tweeting away the afternoon, if, in fact, you have guests.
for Tucker's Mom - picture of Kate and the girls.

@BHappyLoveLaugh @Kateplusmy8 I cant see the payoff for the bullies-Kates my girl-I would do exactly what she's done to raise my kids
###################
What's really sad in this whole sheeple thing is that there are still those out there who would sell their kids and their privacy. There are teens who want to grow up to have children and be just like Kate because they think that she is an inspiration to all mothers. I don't understand any of it, why they can't see that kids are not vehicles for an adult's entertainment, and neither are they a parent's means of support. They want to see the Kate's children grow up on television. Why? What is the fascination of it all?
The man couldn't do anything without her nattering in his face. Go away Kate. Shut your piehole and let Jon have his day with HIS kids you miserable effing parental alienator
**
Go AuntieAnn! Kate is all about the passive agressive, back-handed insults, isn't she?
Can't she just say, Happy Father's Day and to my kids' Dad, who they love and who loves them.
Nah... too mature.
And encouraging a kids to waste her time, trying to get rid of haterz instead of saying 'hey, I'm a big girl, don't worry about me" just shows what a self-centered twit she is.
I hope this girl's mom sees her tweet to Kate, tells her kid to butt out of this woman's life and tosses Kate a few choice words for encouraging such a thing.
Over in Berks, no these kids don't understand. Most of the reality shows, and other shows, promote bad behavior and stupidity, for fame and fortune. Look at the shows about pregnant teens; if that doesn't send a bad message, I don't know what does. Get pregnant and have a child that you're too immature and irresponsible to raise, and we'll give you a TV show where you can 40,000 a year or more.
Then you have the mothers on Dance Moms who will allow their kids to be in very stressful situations and although they complain on camera, they're there for the next episode.
Then you have parents like the Gosselins, the Duggars, etc., who allow strangers to shove cameras in their kids faces and private lives, and talk about how good it is for them.
Why would an impressionable tween/teen be expected to use more common sense than the adults who use their kids to make a profit?
The whole situation is disgusting and more laws are needed because, despite popular theory, some parents do not always look out for the best interest of their children; they look out for what's best for themselves.
I can really appreciate the Gardening Thread here- having been a former fruit & veggie grower in my own backyard, over the years.
However, what I'm *Growing* in my garden now-- is not up for 'public consumption'... (but let's just say I have a GREEN thumb ;)
Now, if one of you gifted ladies can tell me how to quickly defrost the 'other greens' in my icebox, for my famous *Cali-Style Spinach & Artichoke Dip... I would be kindly obliged!
*All products strictly Organic. (Eat your non-gardening, shriveled artichoke-heart out Katie.)
Kate tweets how she "bitterly" misses her grandfather, yet no mention of her own father. She'd rather spend time with her "marathon girls" than to spend time with her own father on Father's Day.
Jon, on the other hand, does honor his father:
Jon Gosselin@jongosselin1
Happy Fathers day to my dad, to the best man i ever knew. Mark, Tommy and I miss u dearly.
Witch:
That sounds gorgeous and what a lot of hard work you & your husband have put into your yard.
Tucker's Mom: Same with your property. What's also nice is you two appreciate your spouses and work together.
Oh, and I'm coming to visit both of you after going to Dmasy's! lol
Kate is a Witch -- isn't it fun to work with your husband and create a tranquil space to enjoy? I wish we could see a picture of your collaboration.
Sounds wonderful!
(I was kidding about my Secret Garden! Although, it's completely legal here in California.)
Speaking of fruits... does the 'Candy Bust' from that company on Twitter come in ORANGE Chocolate?
Jon's a class act. It's Father's Day and Kate can't even give a little shout out to her own dad. And here's the thing, if she misses her grandfather so badly, then how about giving her kids the opportunity to get to know their own grandfather?
I think in Kate's mind, she is somehow a victim of her less-than-stellar upbringing. Her parent's did something to tick her off, or more likely, just are human like the rest of us. Imperfect, flawed and nothing like Mz. Kate.
Over in Berks, I reread my post and it sounded harsh, but I didn't mean it that way towards you. I just get on my soapbox sometimes about what's being shown on TV to young, impressionable kids, and it makes my blood boil. I hope you didn't think my rant was towards you.
Specifically naming your grandfather and leaving out the father of your children and your own father comes across like a dig. She can't help herself. She can't just say Happy Father's Day. Or she can't say it to Jon or her own dad.
Off to make the day special for the daddies in my life.
Another picture -- two different posts. I am glowing from compliments. Gosh, I might get as "greedy" as Kate and re-tweet kindness.
The big stone bases have a shallow hollow center and I put a time capsule in each one. Whenever they are deconstructed, someone will get a memento surprise.
I have been outside cleaning up edges today. Knees of my jeans are dirty!
Thanks for the link to Kate's pic with the "girls". That dress is hideous and the shoes, oh those shoes! I think she could be a size 4 with some vanity-sized brands, but really, she's a 6. She'd look better as an 8. Her frame is just not petite, I mean, her hands and head are big and look disproportionate with her weight now.
The other ladies look really nice and hopefully, they'll continue to know how to help Kate, lest they get tossed like Jamie evidently did.
Just watched the never before seen footage: first, wow! It is soooo obvious after watching yeti he Florida beach footage that Kate had major breast implants. She was maybe a B cup and now they are torpedos aiming down to her knees in that ugly halter dress..and to take a line from the movie "My Blue Heaven" ...."the shoes are tragic!". Also, during the tummy tuck footage she admits and we see a lot of liposuction and she even said on the couch "heck yeah I would have liposuction again" so all her lies were exposed about that. Also, she looked sooo much younger and had an ivory girl complexion. Why did she wreck her pretty face with Botox and fillers? Another piece of footage which shows her hindsight stupidity was when the talent agent was working with the twins for commercials. Kate said, "no...not interested. We are too busy to have to be doing all that". Bet she is kicking herself now. What gets me is tat she sees all these episodes and CANNOT figure out how she should learn from the glamazilla she has become and turn it around. I guess stupid is as stupid does.
Dmasy, it's beautiful. You're my idol now!!
Wow, you ladies are amazing in your yards. And then there's Kate, bitching about moving a fricking hose around and saying she wished she lived in a 1 BR apartment.
Kate is NOTHING like her treachly tweets.
Tucker's Mom -- What you said. One of the things that drives me up the wall about Kate is her stupid, lazy, incompetent attitude.
In those Easter photos she is sitting in front of the perfectly manicured and mulched flower bed. She does not do the work and she does not appreciate the result.
There is nothing wrong with choosing to pay professionals for your landscaping. But, not when you are then crying poor and begging for gifts from moms who can't afford her lifestyle.
She is a wanna be. I would put her in a competition with any of the "mediocre" posters here any day and she would be embarrassed with the outcome.
Most of the comments here are far more informative and interesting than her silly little articles.
I wonder if Khate talked up the resturant she and the ladies would be going to causing them to dress up?
I wonder if she talked up the restaurant because she grifted a free dinner?
Wowser,
Just to clarify --- that episode where kart blew off the talent agent:
The talent agent told her the girls didn't have what it took to be in show business.
THEN kart badmouthed the agent and said well, she didn't have time to do commercials anyway.
I don't remember it perfectly, but the girls (to be kind here) didn't have "it". Watching them was painful. It was clear that kart was hoping/thinking/ASSUMING they would be snapped up in a second for shining, lucrative careers that she would manage. For a large percentage of their income.
Alas, kart, another example of your magical thinking.
Dmasy people make lots of money designing gardens like yours. Ever thought of a new career? :) or Country Life magazine, the Dmsay issue.
Kristine, that reminds me, did anyone else love "The Secret Garden" as a kid? One of my favourite books.
The woman are older than Kate but at least they look good for their ages.
Hit hit grow old gracefully Kate and stop with all the plastic surgery be for it's to late.

When has she ever been with fans when press wasn't involved or they weren't paying??
Tamara:
Adore "The Secret Garden!" The musical is actually nice too- love the song "The Girl I Mean to Be."
Permanent:
In the epi, they had headshots taken of the twins ( freebie) and then went to the talent agent's. The girls' performance of lines/expressions was only average. The woman told Kate to step aside, she would handle the interview (hehe) She said they should take acting classes and there was a demand for Asian kids (hmm, did Kate know this?) but they were not ready atm. I like how the talent agent put Kate in her place, although later as you said, she tried to brush it off, like it was just for fun, a memory if you will!
Tamara, the Secret Garden was my daughter's favorite book when she was in grade school. We read it together quite a few times. When we ordered the book from the school Weekly Reader, it came with a litte necklace that had a charm of an old fashioned key. She wore that every day for the longest time!

Um, tons of celebs interact with their fans and followers. Look at any celeb twitter account. In fact I could tell you a story of a well known celeb who every so often goes out for private dinners with a few of their biggest fans who help run their fan club. They invited them, not the other way around. What I don't know of is any celeb who toys with their fans, promising cruises, fan events, marathons where you run with them, and then never delivering.
Tamara -- I loved "The Secret Garden", too. There was another book called "The Hidden Garden" that I also liked. It was about a little Dutch girl who came here with her older sister after the war. Their parents were killed and they were supposed to come to an Uncle. Well, they wound up in a NYC tenement and the little girl transformed the trashfilled courtyard into a garden. I loved it because it had all sorts of people -- Black, Chinese, Irish, Polish, etc. brought together because of this one little girl. It was fiction but read like a true story.
Dmasy -- your work is amazing. You should be featured in one of these lifestyle magazines. So beautiful -- much more appealing and personal than these "professional" designs that are lifeless and soulless.
Happy Father's Day to all the dads.
I hope you all had a lovely day :o)
In reference to the photo of Kate and her pals-
her friends look lovely, and appropriate.
In contrast to Kate, who looks like a barfly...
Reminds me of a Sesame Street song, "One of These Things (Is Not Like The Others)"
I really hate to criticize Kate's appearance, but since she personally posted the photos, I just please want to tell her to get some friends who will tell her what she needs to hear (like Jamie tried to) not what she wants to hear like her fans on Twitter are doing.
Kate, take a good look at the differences between you and the other two women. Use a ruler if you need to to see the problems. Your forehead is twice the size of theirs. Measure the distance from the eyebrow to the hairline. You would flatter your face SO much more with some bangs.
Look at where your breasts are sitting. #1 - they're just too big for your frame and #2 - they are almost at elbow level. Any good bra fitter will tell you your breasts should sit midway between your shoulders and your elbows. Perfect example, look at the women next to you. Their breasts are nowhere near their elbows.
Oh the shoes. Look at the lady to the right of you in her cute summer sandals. Your clunky white shoes do nothing for you.
Also, look at the friend on the right's hemline. Right above the knees. Every skirt you own doesn't need to be mid-thigh, no matter how good you think your legs look (and they look nice). It's just a cheap, non-flattering look.
For the money you're spending on your appearance, you could do so much better. If only you would listen to good advice instead of the fawning praise of sychophants.

Unfortunately Kate promptly discards anyone who wants to help her. I loved the recent interview with Kate Couric and Prince William where he was basically saying you're not helping me if all you do is tell me how great I am. If I'm going to be a good king I need people to be honest with me and tell me where I could do better. Kate is one person who does that (his Kate). I always enjoy seeing young people be light years more mature than a 37 year old.
I think Jamie got discarded like Beth did. I just don't think that Jamie would go from filming with Kate, to never ever being mentioned or seen. Like Ashley, Jamie probably found it better to not be around the toxicity.
Hello Kate, did you have a nice Father's Day hanging with the crew? Remember them? They are those all male production staffers who helped babysit the kids and move heavy boxes around for you. You vowed they would remain in contact show or no show. So..... who are the strange women in your picture? What happened to your friends - Jamie, Jody, Beth and all the good folks at Target? What about the gas attendant who used to swipe your credit card while you tapped your gladiator heel impatiently at the pap guy TLC hired to follow you around? Wait a second, do you mean to tell me Steve spent Father's day with his wife and kids? And Jon spent Father's day with his kids, girlfriend, and her kids? Wow Kate, that kind of leaves you home alone -- do you slap cologne on your face too and shriek?
As much as Kate refuses to see it, Aunt Jodi was trying to help too. Her entire speech at the child labor hearing was a desperate attempt to try to make Kate see that her family was being led astray with dire consequences. And they WERE, Jodi was 100% correct. But Kate didn't want to hear that and so Jodi was done, cut off, out of her life. Sad. I really wonder how many other people have tried to say what Jodi said who we just don't know about. I'm guessing a lot.
Dmasy, what a lovely profile shot of your garden. Tasteful & elegant :o)
Ha, ha. Her marathon buddies are my age or older. Kate looks the same age. I would hate to be in my 30's and look in my 50's. That's what straw hair and suntanning do.

Oh, 2what a wonderful memory, too. We were in some strange room, dressed alike, and some lady
was asking us questions. Then we read something and then we were told we were not good enough. Then mommy got huffy and said we didn't have time for this.
Thanks for the memories, Mom.
Thanks for the memories, Mom.

I'm guessing this episode will defintiely come up at most by the time they reach therapy session number three if not the intake.
Here's some of Kate's all some mothering skills.-(snark)

This list just wouldn't be complete without mentioning her grifting from her fans.

I thought that the marathon girls were there with her today, hanging around her POOL...you know, that water-filled hole in the back yard that she mentions on a daily basis.
Obviously, Kate couldnt wear The Good Bra with that tube top. So instead she taped 1/2 of watermellon to each side of her chest...
What has she done to her face? It's so long and square, like a shoe box. Is that from fillers, self-botox, surgery, what? It's like her bone structure is growing and changing and not in a pretty way. She has become quite homely. Well, anyway,she dresses in a LOOK AT MEEEEE manner that wouldnt even hold up in Vegas, she just looks so cheap and ridiculous.
Dmasy, your photo is stunning! Feel free to let it go to your head for a while, you deserve it with the hard physical labor you have put in!
BEFORE the finished product! Pallet with iron straps. One of my min-pins comes to help! Thank all of you for such lovely compliments. When I started this project, I didn't "know" any of you wonderful women.
Michelle, you post hit the nail on the head and you said it so graciously. Thank you.
Tamara... Yes! My first cousins (once removed) are all reading "My Secret Garden" as part of their Facebook Book Club. So endearing... I adore seeing extended family. My mother grew up in a small home with ten children, and one outhouse. They grew and raised ALL of their own food on a farm in Minnie.
Dmasy can I just tell you how beautiful your yard is? I wish I could do that. My husband has never taken to gardening. He has a very bad back so I do the mowing and such. We have almost an acre to mow. By the time I finish mowing I am too "exhausted" to do much else. I need the Yard Crashers to come crash my yard.
You are amazing. Please show us the pictures from start to finish. I would love to see the transformation.
"My Secret Garden"... err... make that "The Secret Garden" book club.
What a difference a word makes! (As it turns out, "My Secret Garden" is a book resembling the recent "50 Shades of Grey".) Not for children, but perhaps for hard up ex-wives like Kate-- reading alone in her super comfy, so sexy bed... on an alternate "Daddy" weekend. Her bedside Tweets are just creepy.
Happy Father's Day weekend to all!
Back to Chocolate Kate for a second... when they make a likeness, they have to make a mold, which requires having your face smothered in the molding compounds - probably a food safe silicone/rubber material. Wouldn't Kate love that? Remember how she reacted when she got her hair rinsed in the bathtub when she got her original extensions. This ought to be good. I almost hope she goes for it, even if nobody forks over their $25 for the "Kate's a Bust" masterpiece. She could set the original on the table right next to the globe. Lovely.
Our garden this year was a buffet for Bambi and family.
Nik Wallenda prayed while he crossed Friday. Was THAT cheating, Kate?
Know a woman who was jogging on a country road near her home. Two good old boys in a pick 'em up truck came up behind her, then turned around, passed her and stopped up the road and waited for her. She reached around to her back, never breaking stride and casually slid her legally registered concealed handgun to the front so they could see it. They left rubber they left so fast (tire skid marks). I never knew she even had a gun until then. Yes, a legal and registered handgun. But this scared me so much. What if they had had a gun? What if she hadn't had one?

I believe the mold was already broken with Kate!
Indeed... the mold was broken with Kate! Can you imagine her making sweet chocolate love to the camera, had this been a TLC episode? "Kate Turns Chocolate Orange".
For Fidosmommy- stellar posts. You never change. (I told you years ago- I'll always be Sadie's Mommy.)
Ugh. There are so many things wrong with her on many levels, but there's something that really irks me about her talking about the kids hanging out with "[her] marathon girls" rather than their father on Father's Day. If he didn't have custody this weekend (and who am I to know?) that'd be doubly raw for both Jon and the children. They're obviously close to him and vice-versa.
When I was young my father worked in the movie industry and was often absent for months at a time on one shoot or another– and this was in the late '90s, so we didn't have Skype or high-speed internet to communicate, just a scratchy long-distance phone call every Sunday. Admittedly, I've always been a Daddy's Girl, but not being able to spend special days with him such as holidays and anniversaries was painful as Hell for both of us. He missed out on a lot of my childhood and I missed out on having a Daddy.
The fact that Kate is reveling in their separation is just disgusting.
Best, Zelda
It's extremely unlikely the kids were not with Jon this whole weekend. Basically, you get father's day weekend unless you're in prison or dead.
Kate did say that the kids were with their dad this weekend. The kids met her marathon girls when they got home today.
Ha, her gn twat whines about Monday coming. Like, lady you've no job, so what's the diff? That hag never changes. Oh, yes, her unemployed grifter life is just so hard, not.
DannysSister, I just had the very same thought. Not only does she not have a job to get up for, but the kids are out of school and I doubt she has to haul them to any activities in the morning, either.
I'm surprised she even knows tomorrow is Monday.
Readerlady - I just looked at your profile - great cat photo! What kind do you show? I need to talk to you about Celtic music - I was intensely involved in the 80s-90s and I'm wondering if we're familiar with any of the same music. Should I ask Admin to help us exchange emails or should we just go OT here for a bit (or do you not want to at all?)? Hope we can talk.
Mr. Rogers was a Navy Seal.
I did not take this picture. And, those are not my benches.
Our home was used for a photo shoot one Fall. (Proven Winners Plants.) Unfortunately, I didn't get to keep the furniture! The flowers and the pumpkins were mine
This is the "secluded" portion of the deck. We tried to make a cozy place for small fires and chatting.
Thanks again for all the compliments. I'm gonna get the "big head"!
Off off topic
My street is closed again because some idiot sent white powder in an envelope. Urghh..after psycho sent body parts we now have idiots sending white powder for fun.
What the he-- is going on in this world?
Ok...breathing now..rant over..thankyou for listening.
btw: a bunch of kids here biked over a 100 km for a good cause..no k8 the great at the finish line..just proud kids, parenys and public ( us mediocre ones)
when I try to pull up the pics of the witch and her 'girls' (human and silicone) I get a pic of three black women. help!
none of her kids have the 'it' factor, something they inherited from her - the lack of 'it'! that was just one of many things she screwed up on, their 'Asian-ness' could have been a plus in getting them some jobs but her training AND also her lack of training made them unusable for almost anything. No one was looking for immature illmannered children with a huge case of self entitlement. And this is by NO means meant to knock the kids - it is ALL her fault.
