Ex Nurse -- that is a comprehensive list. When you add up all her endeavors in an actual list, it is a sad tale of disappointment and failure. Can-Do-Kate flopped.
I would say it was from lack of genuine effort. She had the amazing opportunities and seemed to think that she could just float through to success without investing any energy.
Her sense of entitlement matches her determination to be a stah!
Kate seems to complain a lot about her BFF and kids- the noise, crowding, the exhaustion...well, wouldn't Jamie be used to dealing with her kids and Kate with her own (lol) Very rude IMO. (latest tweet)
Dmasy said... 200 Improbable Dreams, 197 -- Thank you. I was trying to think of a response to Doubletalk that would be informative and respectful.
You did it for me ... and probably several others.
I appreciate your words.
#### Thank YOU. I've felt uncomfortable at times with the directions our conversations take, but I've never once wavered in my support for the G8 (and other reality tv kids)--the reasons we've come together in the first place.
Jamie is complaining about exhaustedishness because she is being stuck with kate's kids while she continues her own usual alone 'me' time activities.
Doesn't kate have any comprehension skills? How can she not see that the 'scrubbing the hood' pics just look like 'posed drivel' since they were both on the same side in their pics scrubbing when one on each side would have been much more effective. Oh, silly me, how and what would she know about effective?
When will she really, truly, finally, actually be over, through, done, finished, 'its a wrap', gone?????? ??
Its hard to imagine that huge, huge house could feel crowded with 11 pretty young kids. Crowded is a little ranch house filled with half my teenage son's hockey team, a bunch of big boys hanging out and sleeping over-teenagers spilling out everywhere. And we are happy to do it - we encourage him to arrange these sleepovers as often as he wants.
Dwindle: I also enjoyed your story! The Jackson family is very dysfunctional. Again, seems to be mostly about money , using the three kids as pawns. Paris is speaking her mind, though. Amazing she is able to do this after a life 'under wraps.'
But back to Kate- that would be a terrific concept, lol. Jermaine with "Bills in my purse" really made me ROTFL.
Former marketing director for American Apparel, Ryan Holiday, explains how he leaked fake information and lied to reporters. And he says, what he's done is the rule, not the exception. A quote: (bolding mine)
Holiday: So I discovered about a year ago, there's this service that's called HelpAReporterOut.com. Basically, the reporter needs a subject for a trend piece; I'm promoting something, I say, 'I'll be your trend subject,' and we trade. The reporter doesn't really have to do their job, and the source gets free publicity. So what I wanted to prove was that this backroom arrangement left the front door wide open to all sorts of media manipulation. And so, in about six months, I was able to deceive almost every major media outlet -- not a single one fact-checked, not a single one asked, 'Hey, why are you giving us this information? What's in it for you?' Look, sources have always been self-interested -- we've known this -- but we've almost embraced that self-interest and not asked: 'What are the consequences of doing so?'
You know guys, what's even funnier, about Kate complaining about having 11 kids, in the house, with 2 adult(that's questionable)and probably a couple of not a sitter/nanny/hired help etc), is that Jon and his GF, take care of 11 kids, when she has her 3 and the G8, and no sitter/nanny/hired help etc. Just Jon & his GF taking on 11 kids. Jon never has complained once, even when he has just the 8. Kate really dislikes those kids and really can't handle them. Or is Kate just being LAZY!
Oh, yeah, to answer Jaime question on how to build up immunity ? Quit drinking boxed wine(and partying with Kate after the kids go to bed) at night, then you would not be hung over or tired in the morning.
I have to watch those tearjerker ads. Makes me feel so awful I am not in the position atm to adopt/foster but if I change the channel I feel like a traitor? Doesn't make sense, I know...so many animal lovers here- glad to hear admin's sweet foster dog will go to a loving home and the other stories- those brighten my day. Just walked my own critter- really enjoy that, and cherish it as she's nine now...
Kate complaining of feeling crowded in her mini-mansion is just another example of why she is unlikeable. Who does that? Yes, we could understand if they lived in a 2 room bungalow, but really, Kate? It's such a turn-off to all of us. The sheeple surely must be feeling something negative about this. In addition, it is in poor taste.
So Jamie is there this week to a) babysit and b) witness the exhaustednish of Kate's summer days home alone with 8, count 'em, 8 kids. And what a wonderful and cheap staycation in PA for Jamie's kids. R POOL is getting quite the use.
It really is rude to spend so much time on twatter when you have company, also rather rude to be doing errands, not rescheduling routine doctor appts, and apparently, one farm visit aside, doing absolutely nothing special with or for your guests. All she does is complain and whine.
And this is the most fun and/or personal time Jamie, who does not live full time with her chidren, can manage in their summer? She and Kate deserve each other.
anger issues kate--but that is Kate's "schtick". She has to make sure everyone knows how it is so haaaaaard taking care of her kids, and now even harder with Jamie's kids there. Poor, poor Kate and Jamie.
Has anyone noticed that during this latest twittersode, Kate has not mentioned the pool once? I thought that was the mainstay of all the "fun times" they had.
I also wonder if Kate was only expecting Jamie to come visit, and Jamie surprised her by bringing her kids.
Also, speculation aside why a mother would not have custody of her children in a pro-mother state, it seems rather ungrateful of Jamie to be complaining. She doesn't have her kids much as it is.
I'm not going to lie though I am curious why she doesn't have custody. Things that make you go hmmm.
So funny at all the channel changers. Not only do I do that, or mute it and look away, or fast forward if it's tivoed, but "in the arrrrms of the angels" is like pavlov's dog to me. I can't even hear the song by itself anymore!
I think it it is all damage control to offset the lasting impression of the RV fight with Jamie and the poor treatment of Jamie's children by Kate and the G kids. Who knows. Maybe Kate is paying her the wages usually given to not-a-nanny and other Mr and Ms not-Help People. I think Jamie is an opportunist herself. She seemed to enjoy her time hanging on Kate's coat tails until the fight ( hard to do given the length of Kate's skirts!)
I so appreciate Brooke Burke's honesty. So many celebs think they have to pretend they do it all and that they don't have a live-in nanny plus a weekend nanny plus someone on call. Brooke embraces things like that and it has the opposite effect of what some celebs think it will--it makes people like her more.
I agree, I am reading Jamie's comment about becoming immune to be more about life in a box of wine (when you are out of practice, or more than 2 weekend nights in a row) than about life with 8 - 11 kiddos about.
Hmmm...do we now we know why Khate needs coffee before she can get out of bed? The alcohol, the eating disorder, is she still using nicotine, too?
(I'm a caffeine consumer, but I am quite capable of getting up in the morning without consuming any caffeine before my feet hit the floor! And without an alarm clock.)

I also turn off those "abused animal" commercials, but mostly because they make me flaming mad! Of course, I hate to see those poor animals, but the organizations running the commercials are grifting for your and my money and not using it to actually help the animals. HSUS does not operate a single shelter. The ASPCA has ONE shelter, in NYC. PETA euthanizes more than 90% of the animals they take in. Pity the animals, hate the people who mistreat them, and DO NOT support those organizations. Donate your money to your local shelters, rescues and low cost spay/neuter clinics.
Climbing off soap box now.
Admin -- Congrats on your little foster getting a forever home. Did your baby ever accept her? If he did, you may have a mopey doggie around the house for a few days.
Add to the list of KKhater Daters:
Fred Willard (At least we know he can still get it up)
Jerry Lewis
Dwindle -- HILARIOUS!! (I haven't forgotten I owe you an email. Later today, I promise).
Regarding helping animals. The best thing to do is drop off a bag or two of dog or cat food to your local shelter. They look for old newspapers to line cages and also kitty litter. This way you know your dollars are going to the animals and not lining the pockets of the "CEO"s of the commercials on TV.
Seems like there's a problem with twitter. I can't bring up anything at twitter.com or twazzup.com. Even the tweets above have disappeared. Looks like Kate may have to wait awhile for that 100,000th follower.
Does anyone remember when she was close to 10,000 and all her tweeties were unfollowing and refollowing her so that the could be the 10,000th one? I wonder if they're going to try that again.
We will watch the show and give it ratings cause we are all so busy but will make sure to have the time to watch this show
++++++++++++++
I assume you are talking about the collective "we." I will never watch a show, busy or not. I stopped watching Kate Plus Eight after the first show, which I only watched because I was curious about the format.
Dwindle said, " ME! I bellow "get that off!" And just when you think it is safe to go back, nooooo it is still on! I swear it is 3 minutes long, full of flailing and emaciated animals.
++++++++++++++++++++++
Dwindle! Yes! Those commercials just don't stop! I don't have to watch this abuse to know it's going on. I know that kids are suffering from cancer and are spending their last days in hospitals, but I don't have to watch a commercial showing children undergoing chemo in order for me to donate to St. Jude or another children's hospital. JudyK is right - the commercials that were created to play on our sympathies are having the opposite effect.
Why do I get the feeling Katie and Jamie sat up all night in her bedroom painting each other's toenails and making crank calls? What a couple of imbeciles. I sure as hell wouldn't hire them as babysitters.
Ditto with the cruelty to animals ads. The slo-mo video and the close-ups of the animals faces in crates, Sarah M singing that mournful tune in the background ... oh aggh. I tear up thinking about how horrible some people are to animals and that includes Kate. I wish she'd never brought Shoka back.

The minute I hear it, the tears begin...and then it goes on mute or I turn away. Or close my eyes. Or fast-forward LOL! My son had to stop watching it because he found himself making donation after donation to pet rescue orgs - he's a pug owner.
Ex Nurse great overview of Kate's failures. Perhaps Admin could link that on the sidebar for future reference and additions?

Thanks Ex Nurse.
She had some great opportunites and she lost every one of them to due to her personality. She's a dud. A schlub. (thanks Rhymes!)
I wonder what she's going to do for the rest of her life to keep food on the table, besides child support checks from her ex? I doubt if she'll retire on the money CC is paying her.
Maybe she's planning to latch on to an elderly millionaire who leaves a fortune to her in his will. Not that I care, I just wonder sometimes how this is all going to turn out for her.
I also hate to see the commercials because they make me so sad. But that was one of the reasons I adopted my rescue. I can't believe he had been a stray at only five months. He is the cutest and most loving little guy and is always kissing me and oh, biting my toes! Lol! My beagle is starting to adjust to him and that's a good thing!!
Kate and Jaime have a lot in common and that's probably why they are still together . Kate has been abusing, taking advantage of Jaime all through the years and Jaime doesn't seem to mind! I don't think Jaime would still be around if Kate was just a nobody! They deserve each other!! Poor, poor kids!! Yucky, yucky mothers!!
Could you please start a pet thread? I am frankly so sick of KG that I don't know how much more of her boring, boringness I can stand.
I am very interested in hearing more from the animal experts about the ASPCA, and Humane Society. I thought those were legitimate animal charities. There is a local HS here in my city. Don't donations fund those facilities? I don't know much about this topic, but I am a bleeding heart animal lover.
So if the two of them are going nuts in the house with eleven kids, why didn't they go to the beach? Two adults plus a nanny and Steve should be able to handle the kids for a week in a rented house at the Jersey shore, or maybe even BHI!
Maybe she's planning to latch on to an elderly millionaire who leaves a fortune to her in his will. Not that I care, I just wonder sometimes how this is all going to turn out for her.
+++++++++++++++
Right. And her next reality show will be titled, "The Cougar and the Codger." Ugh...
And don't forget MICHAEL PETERSON, The Staircase Murderer.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Thanks! I was trying to think of his name! I knew there was another Peterson. Convicted of murdering his wife, Kathleen, same name as Drew's wife, weird, huh? Isn't he out of prison waiting for a new trial? There you go, Kate, this one is out of jail and available!
Oh my! What will Kate do not being able to read all the gushing adoring titter messages from her asskissing not-quite 100,000 fans? She's probably talking to herself in the mirror
I don't think Jamie said that. She was with Kate on the RV trip--talk about being hit with a mack truck! Kate tweets that stuff so her idiot fans will tell her how "awesome" she is.
Judy K ......195 I just read your comment and I have to say I have mixed feelings about the commercials with the sad faces of the cute dogs and cats. I am an avid animal lover and its so painful to watch those commercials but it reminds me of an old Spanish saying" oyoes que no mirren, corazon que no siente" translation: " if your eyes don't see it, your heart won't feel it " . Also don't they use that money to rescue them, feed them, and take care of them until they are adopted! The top two charities I donate to are St. Jude's and SPCA and local rescue centers!
Children and abused/ unwanted animals have always been at the top of my list to do whatever I can to help!
BTW...... Kate fans don't bother to correct my Spanish spelling , it's been a long time since I took a Spanish class!! No need!!
Over In Berks said... 45 And her next reality show will be titled, "The Cougar and the Codger." Ugh... ====
heeheehee. Good one Over in Berks! Kate needs to hire some people from this blog to get her another show (forget it, I'm kidding). There's some great ideas here.
Wowser said... 47 Oh my! What will Kate do not being able to read all the gushing adoring titter messages from her asskissing not-quite 100,000 fans? She's probably talking to herself in the mirror --------- I can image the conversation she's having.
Kate: Mirror Mirror on the wall who's the best mom ever?
Mirror: U my queen.
Kate:Oh Mirror Mirror on the wall how's the skinniest?
Mirror: U my queen.
Kate:Mirror Mirror on the wall who the best reality star the best writer the best dancer the best runner of them all".
Mirror: Why Kate Gosselin is and Jon sucks.
Kate:Mirror Mirror on the wall will I get another show and get paid to do nothing.
Mirror: Of course you will cause people love you.
And that goes on and on till her twitter sheep start kiss her butt.
Thanks to all for the congrats for the newest four-legged member of our family.
Dwindle, I totally get why your rottie's middle name is BigDopeyBaby. Several years ago our youngest daughter decided, without telling my husband and I, to adopt an approximately three year old rottie. She pulled into the driveway in her Volkswagen Beetle with this massive thing in the passenger seat. She gets out of the car and Tyson jumps out after her. He scared the crap out of my husband and I because all he seemed to be doing was growling while furiously wagging his little stubbie tail. We came to realize that his growling was "talking" and the happier he was, the more he "talked". He was an absolute sweetheart. And the only time he wasn't wagging his tail was when he was sleeping. But I do have to say he looked ridiculous in our daughter's tiny car because he was so big. So yeah, I would say BigDopeyBaby is a perfect description.
As for the commercials, I turn the channel as well. If you want to donate money, definitely do it locally. At least you know where you money is going.
I dont understand why Kate complains about have 3 more kids when there is one more adult there to help take care of all 11 kids. That makes a ratio of 5.5 kids/ adult. When Jamie is not there with her kids, the ratio is 8 kids/adult. She should be talking about how much fun they are having going to visit amish country, going to dutch wonderland exc. Instead, according to Kate, Jamie is having to do lots of work around the house and is complaining about it.
Maybe she's planning to latch on to an elderly millionaire who leaves a fortune to her in his will. __________________________
I am sure you are correct Auntie. She probably has it in that pea-sized brain of hers that she could be like Anna Nicole Smith and find her own J. Howard Marshall who has one foot in the grave. There are so many possibilities for show titles:

Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) said... 7 She's an idiot when it comes to promotion. If she IS shopping a dating show why not just say so? Get buzz going, fuel the rumors.
*************
Seems to me that there is plenty of buzz going. Multiple media outlets have picked up the story. Jimmy Kimmel has spoofed her. She doesn't need to fuel anything. The match already has been lit.
I wonder if "fitness expert" and "marathon runner" Kate will even mention the Olympics. I hope she will at least let the kids watch the coverage, especially Cara.
I noticed that she is now following Olympic marathon runner Kara Goucher on twitter.
Admin...23 "in the arrrrms of the angels" is like pavlov's dog to me...Admin, you are definitely not alone there! My daughter had to stop using that song for auditions (no worries, she's very much an adult) because it just turns people off even though she sings it beautifully. I admire Sarah McLachlan's intent but I'm afraid she's become the face of depression rather than helping unfortunate animals.
Betsy...40, the local societies do wonderful work, my two fabulous furboys came from a Humane Society shelter. The national organizations, however, are a completely different story. Very little of the donated funds go to help the animals and are instead used to pay salaries and promote the NO PETS at all philosophy.
I think the problem Kate and Jamie may be having is they seem to want everything they had before kids. The partying, drinking, jaunts to NYC, taking off for a run whenever you want, going out to dinner, staying up late and sleeping in, ditching kids to do what they want. Problem is there are kids now and they come first and you aren't going to be able to do everything you once did when you want to do it. Don't like that don't have kids.
HSUS, PETA, and ASPCA do basically nothing to support the local shelters. Your local SPCA is not (for emphasis, I will repeat again that it is NOT) affiliated with the national organization. If you want to support animals, donate to your local shelters. You can donate money of course, but you can also donate food (bought with coupons on sale), toys (ask the shelter what they'd like), bedding/towels, and of course your time whether it's cleaning kennels, walking the dogs, or volunteering at outreach and fundraising events. Local rescues need foster homes, transport, home evaluations, fundraising and outreach, and more. There are MANY ways that you can help!
Call Me Crazy said... 56 There are so many possibilities for show titles:
The Grifter and the Geezer The Octo-generator and the Octogenarian Looking for Mr. Gold Bars Scamming for a Sugar Daddy The Bachelor and the Ball Breaker ====== OMG! you guys are cracking me up today with your brilliant minds. Looking for Mr. Gold Bars...bwaahaha! They're ALL hilarious.
Dmasy - Do you realize you've actually come up with a feasible plan? This could work.
Kate could even install plexiglass doors on the kids' bedrooms so visitors can watch the kids while they play and sleep...for a fee of course. Wowy. It would be like reality tv only better!
Re Spanier (disgraced Penn State administrator) supposedly getting a job with the government - I did a search online to see what info I could find about this claim. What I found was that Spanier told "colleagues and friends in an e-mail that he will work with the U.S. government on a project tied to national-security issues during his sabbatical leave."
I couldn't find independent corroboration of his claim.
AussieGoldenLuv -- Excellent points. Other things that your local shelters can use -- Bleach, paper towels, kitty litter, cleaning supplies, rubber gloves.
Betsy and Tomatoes -- As AGL said, HSUS and the ASPCA are not connected with your local shelters. They are primarily political organizations (HSUS and ASPCA, that is). They are mainly involved in pushing legislation limiting pet owners' rights, harrassing and attempting to drive out of business all legitimate and responsible breeders (Absolutely, the mills need to be shut down. However, there are laws on the books for that already. They need to be enforced), making life difficult for farmers,eliminating dog and cat shows -- and every other type of animal show -- and collecting money. HSUS collected millions of dollars after Hurricane Katrina, ostensibly to fund their rescue and care of the animals affected by that disaster. Most of the actual work was done by the Cat Fanciers, AKC, various local and national rescues, and many, many volunteers. HSUS STILL hasn't accounted for the money they collected. Sorry, I seem to have found that soap box again.
Readerlady said: Donate your money to your local shelters, rescues and low cost spay/neuter clinics. -----------------------------------
Very good advice and that's a rule of mine almost across the board re donations of all kinds. I read a woman's account of how little help the Red Cross was during the recent devastating fires in Colorado. She was telling everyone not to donate to the Red Cross, but to make your donations locally, to be sure that money/food/clothing, goes directly to help victims in need.
I've long been wary of these large charitable organizations. I much prefer to make my donations to local charities.
AussieGolden Love and Betsy -- I followed those links. I learned so much that I did not know. Thank you.
The county I live in and the one adjacent have joined their shelter activities due to lack of funds (one closed). Over crowding is a serious problem. They recently published their kill/save ratio in our local paper. It is tragic.
You have given me ideas of how to help -- effectively. Thank you.
For those who are following the Penn State Scandal
How the Media May Have Framed Joe Paterno www.johnziegler.com
Westbrooke ===== I've been reading a little more about the PSU scandal in order to better understand the discussions of it here. I don't know if this has been mentioned but I found an interesting article about the woman who actually broke the story about Sandusky. No one seemed interested in her findings in the beginning. Jaw dropping.
readerlady said... 66 "They are mainly involved in pushing legislation limiting pet owners' rights, harrassing and attempting to drive out of business all legitimate and responsible breeders..., making life difficult for farmers,eliminating dog and cat shows -- and every other type of animal show -- and collecting money.
+++++++++++++ Thanks for this info. I wondered why the HS commercial was offering a free tote bag and subscription to their magazine. Those things cost money, and I don't see how that helps the animals.
Could you please elaborate on the comment about "making life difficult for farmers". There are factory farm practices I do not agree with (I am a vegetarian for both health and ethical reasons), but I am wondering what you are referring to. Thanks in advance.
Yes, I donate old towels, toys, new treats/food, blankets, dishes etc and my daughter volunteers to walk/play with dogs at our local shelter.
But am I the only one to watch those commercials? It just reminds me, as someone above said...I also donate to St Jude's, Tomatoes, even though I am nowhere near the facility. It's from watching the Marlo Thomas telethons, my nursing background & doing a little research.
Also donate to various animal groups, and my 'pet' cause, anti-circus (legit) organizations. For me, putting a face to the cause helps me to not turn a blind eye, , not that those of you who do not watch the commercials do, but it's easy to forget in our busy lives.( Elephants are my favorite creatures next to dogs. And a few humans!)
I'm wondering if Paterno supporters would still maintain their loyalty to him if it were their young son who was raped, knowing that Paterno had the power to stop the abuse and didn't. Would the reputation of Penn State and those in command there take precedent over exposing (and stopping) those who abused their own son?
Auntie Ann@70 -- thanks for the link. Very interesting article. A female Woodward and Bernstein!
Betsy, their intent and aim is to drive animal farming out of business. They propose legislation which is unfeasible, massively expensive and unnecessary. I agree with you about factory farming, BTW. I'm not, however, a vegetarian. I'm a happy omnivore, but I try to eat cruelty free.
Chef summer: lol!! That was exactly how I saw the conversation with her mirror....only when she got to the part "mirror mirror on the wall, who's the best author of them all?". The mirror replies, "Robert" and Kate's head explodes!
Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law not in a court of public opinion. Because I have a different view that Sandusky is the criminal and Patrrno is not you talk about my child being raped. That is unbelievable. If you don't want to get to truth and facts because it is a tough topic that the NCAA and PSU wants put behind them in a rush to judgement fine. Now some of the so called journalists are actually reading the Freeh report and coming to a different conclusion. Thousands of children were helped by Second Mile and came on PSU campus each year. Few were raped because that is what pedophiles do---convicted criminal Jerry Sandusky groomed them and was a pedophile which IMO is a master manipulator. Here is one to review The Case Against Joe Paterno- Weak to non existent on current record which can be found on www.powerlineblog.com. Westbrooke

Did you see the nice epi where his 3 sisters came on for 'makeovers'? They already knew graceful ways of walking and standing, and one of the 'professors' asked "How did you learn to do that!?!" and they relied in unison "From our brother!!" as if DUH! There is alot of affection and respect on those shows and I love it. (and I love it that *I* picked Raja on the very first epi of that season, and that is who won! I love it when my favorite wins!)
!!!!!!!! Yes, I have followed these elephants Tina & Jewel for years...they were in the circus which traveled here ( Cole Bros) and very poor health & conditions plagued these wonderful wise creatures. My kids refused elephant rides at a party they went to at the annual circus visit to our town. Said their eyes looked sad...
I do not attend zoos/circuses and I signed petitions/wrote letters to get Tina and Jewel off the road. I started research and was horrified at the training and conditions elephants in the circus endure. I became part of the movement to release them to sanctuaries and ban animal acts, as well as to educate others about the 'saddest show on earth.' These ellies were ordered to be sold, but they ended up with a circus-related cruel owner, Will Davenport, who rented them for TV ads, parties etc. Lived tied to a trailer in the heat.
Then they were sent to San Diego and things seemed much better...then off to LA Zoo- their enclosure is small, boring and dusty although they do go to other areas for public viewing etc. Things are better for these 'girls' now but nowhere near how they should be.
Thank you so much for posting the link- I hope other here read it and join the campaign to rid US circuses of any animal act. Cirque du Soleil for us.
Sorry for the rant- I could write a book. A cause dear to my heart/ please, do not attend the circus! Or go to zoos of the caliber of LA's. Thanks Witch.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&
My first reaction to this was -- way to insult your house guests! My next reaction was -- how many times is she going to tell us that there were eleven kids there? We get it...
************************************************
Well, WE get it, but do Jon and Liz? Coz I think that is why the number 11 is so important all of a sudden.
Two weeks ago today, my husband and I adopted a 12 week old puppy from our VERY crowded animal shelter. They just discovered she had kennel cough the day I saw her. I have a good friend who volunteers there and she said a diagnosis of kennel cough makes the dog temporarily unadoptable and possibly no one would want the dog (they recover, but it takes a while, antibiotics twice a day, cough medicine, etc). She said they would have given her anywhere from two days to two weeks to be adopted or be put down. They simply don't have a spare square inch of room anywhere and sick dogs are the first to go.
The reason I say all this is because if she were still there today and they hadn't put her to sleep yet, today would be the day.
I've taken care of her full-time for the last two weeks and she's about 98% recovered. VERY spunky, full of energy and personality and so incredibly loving and smart. We fell in love with her immediately. Today, her life would have ended, but instead she's living in a home with another dog (who loves her!), four cats, and two adults who pamper her. What's that saying? Lucky dog?
NCAA, if you thought the sanctions you imposed on PSU's program would inspire higher morale in big money college sports you are incompetent. If you intended to pull apart a program piece by piece you are simply pathetic. Setting precedent so that you can sleep better at night, knowing full well the hundreds of other things (shootings, drug use, rape) that are looked over because of the billion dollar college football business makes you just as guilty of this kind of misconduct and of perpetuating a culture of irresponsibility. Are football programs put on pedestals and players/coaches given too much power, YES. However, making the athletes of PSU who have worked their lives for this opportunity pay for the mistakes of those that came before them INSTEAD of helping BUILD the lives of those that were hurt by this misconduct is insanity. There are lessons to be learned from this and lives that need to be restored but the way this was handled is so poor and such an empty PR image restoring attempt by the NCAA, it is sickening. Let's not address the real problem and help create a culture of responsibility for college football as a whole to reduce all types of awful events from happening. Instead the NCAA chooses to cover a huge gash with a PR move bandaid to placate the shortsightedness of public opinion, not doing the real work that is needed in stitching up college football.

Once a Viewer said: Elephants are my favorite creatures next to dogs. And a few humans!) ************************************************* Just today I saw a beautiful picture in the current issue of National Geographic . . . its a picture of an elephant named Rajan walking in a rain forest on Havelock Island in India. It says he's retired from logging and takes this walk as part of his daily routine. The picture is just stunning with the sun streaming through the forest canopy. You can see it at PrintsNGS.com. Just click on August 2012 "In the magazine". It shows a small image of it, but you can get the idea. : )
Thank you so much for posting the link- I hope other here read it and join the campaign to rid US circuses of any animal act. Cirque du Soleil for us. ****
While not everyone agrees with PETA and all of its policies, there is valid information there. For example, there are disturbing photos and a video by Alec Baldwin about the training/treatment of baby elephants for the circus. It is heart wrenching, and I challenge anyone to view animal circus acts the same way after seeing this.
Because I have a different view that Sandusky is the criminal and Patrrno is not you talk about my child being raped. That is unbelievable.
--------------------
What? I didn't talk about YOUR child being raped nor was this a personal address aimed specifically at you. I don't know your affiliation with Penn State, nor how far your support goes in regards to Paterno nor those responsible for this disaster. I was commenting about ALL of Paterno's supporters in general.
If the parent of a Joe supporter had a child who was raped, abused, kept in the basement by Sandusky, or whatever form of molestation occurred, would that supporter still claim that Joe (and the others who dropped the ball) was railroaded? It's not unbelievable. It's a valid question.
Two weeks ago today, my husband and I adopted a 12 week old puppy from our VERY crowded animal shelter. They just discovered she had kennel cough the day I saw her.
+++++++++++ My precious black lab was also on death row at the pound because he had kennel cough. Luckily, he made it because a rescue group was contacted.
There are low cost spay/neuter clinics around. I think that is where we should focus our funding efforts. Until the animal population is reduced, overcrowded shelters can and will euthanize.
Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) said... 23 So funny at all the channel changers. Not only do I do that, or mute it and look away, or fast forward if it's tivoed, but "in the arrrrms of the angels" is like pavlov's dog to me. I can't even hear the song by itself anymore! ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
We had a lovely guitarist and singer sing that song at the funeral of my very troubled dad, so it actually gives me comfort.
But there used to be a different song years ago that they used for some of those commericials and I still cry whenever I hear it now, because of the animals.

Isnt that exactly what was done with the Dionne children?
I don't think wanting the right people held responsible and all those who played a role held responsible makes anyone not want to protect kids. I think it just means we want the right people held responsible. Just like how not only do I hold blankenship responsible, but also I a degree tlc, figure 8, robot and Jon and Kate. You could debate it forever who of those bears which share and responsible minds could certainly disagree without suggesting that if your hold were raped you would feel this way. I do still believe probation does nothing to help the kids and in fact might even hurt them if it brings down centre county's economy. I think all those players who are vowing to stick with it are admirable.
Omg, I am crying here. Goosebumps. What a powerful video. I'm glad the caption at the end appeared but still, the point was made....wow. How can people exist who are so heartless to animals?
Moose mania: Peterson is not a good name to have these days, beside the ones mentioned, there are several women with tha last name who are criminals too. Some were teachers, messing with young boys. Something about that name.
Auntieann: your too late the Dionne quints, had that done to them back in the 30-40's? By the Canadian Gov. They were put on display like Zoo animals, and people paid to see them, even their own parents had to pay to see them.
Kate is a witch: I know what your going through, and your doing a wonderful job, Dog mom. My rosie got kennel cough about 2 days after I got her. I had just had my older dog Spike shots and they gave him the stuff for kennel cough. Guess what, Spike had a mild case of Kennel cough, caught it from Rosie, who had to be hospitalized, there was not enough time for Spike(he was not hospitalized) to build up enough immunity, not to catch it. Two sick dogs.
Amazing that Jon & Liz can handle 11 kids(G8 and Liz's 3) with no hired help.
I knew nothing about kennel cough until we cared for tiny Min Pin almost 4 years ago.
Long story short, animal activists closed down a privately owned pet shop in my area. The puppies not sold needed a full or part time home immediately. We wanted to help -- helping led to falling in love. Our little girl was less than 2 pounds. Ears had been docked almost at birth, probably without anesthesia. At 10 weeks old, she had traveled across 3 states from breeder, to broker, to pet store. (The info I received about puppy mill pets was devastating.)
She was spunky and adorable when she arrived... just perfect for an impulse purchase by some loving buyer.
Within a few days in our home she developed a horrible cough. Our vet educated me on kennel cough. Our two (at the time) family dogs would catch it from her, but they were older and healthier.
Puppy could not breathe. We sat up nights with the hot shower running to create steam. (The humidifier we bought for her was not effective.) We had to hold her head up so that her airways would not close when she relaxed. She fought really valiantly to live. I still cry when I think of her. We adopted our 3rd dog just to honor her short and brave life.
I contacted other families who had adopted some of the homeless puppies. They were all fighting the same battle.
Of the 9 little dogs involved....6 died.
We called her Nannie and her photo is my new profile picture.
Thank you everyone for your support of Kate Date$ a Jack$son. I assume you all will be mailing gift cards now? $100 increments, please. Hold on a minute and I will publish a list of the stores I faithfully require... Also, most gift cards have different pictures and styles to choose from, I will include a list of which ones are requireishly desired. And could you try not to wake me with your mailing envelopes? I am so exhausted and my meeee time is such a rare treat, i only get a bit of alone time 6 or 8 times a day.
Omg, I am crying here. Goosebumps. What a powerful video. I'm glad the caption at the end appeared but still, the point was made....wow. How can people exist who are so heartless to animals?
I am SO against tail and ear docking- my cockapoo had her tailed docked and it still (nine years old!) seems a sensitive spot on her. We let her grow a faux-tail- looks so cute. I know they just use scissors and throw the parts away. That's another thing I wish I could change for the breeds this is done to (among other animals...)
Amazing that Jon & Liz can handle 11 kids(G8 and Liz's 3) with no hired help. -------- Actually, we have no idea if they can handle them. They might all be having huge fights, and problems.
Once a Viewer, I agree. The 3 Min Pins we have now have natural ears. Cuter, I think. Their tails were already cut when we got them. I can't imagine why anyone ever thought these cosmetic surgeries were a good idea. What purpose?
I am posting up a storm this week, but soon school will start and I will not have time...
Watched the Avril Lavigne video. I have no words, but I did have a lot of tears. I cannot understand mistreatment of animals.
I teach in a school with many underserved, impoverished children. Abuse is everywhere, but poor kids have it worse. I know of some really awful CPS cases with my students. It's frustrating and I and angry, but I have to pull myself together and go back every day, because these kids need good educators.
My wish is for children to feel safe, loved, and cherished, and for animals to be treated humanely.

Pretty close. The Dionne quintuplets were literally put on display.Here's a typical day in "Quintland"... http://www.city.north-bay.on.ca/quints/digitize/LOCATION/NBMUSH/12090040.htm
Tamara: Jon has never complained, even when it was just his 8. Jon mention in a few of the interviews he did that the kids get along well, and 11 is not too many. Kate is just lazy.
Dwindle, oh my gosh I was so moved by your eye dabbing that I dove into my coupon organizer thingy and pulled out with my bare hands almost breaking a nail just for you a $1 dollar off coupon for Organic yogurt. There is also a buy one get one free coupon for paper towels. I am sending them via Mr. Fedex man in hopes that these small tokens of my appreciation can make you feel wonderful. Please have fun, fun, fun! on your Me Me Me day.
Lesson 101 in how to exploit your children - http://www.city.north-bay.on.ca/quints/digitize/LOCATION/COHTML/12090233.htm Can you believe the "Next showing" sign? How dehumanizing!
Oh Dmasy, I'm crying. Kennel cough is so horrible. I know your Nannie is at peace and she knew LOVE in her short life!!!
I've been getting five hours of broken sleep every night until just recently because a 7 pound dog doesn't have a big bladder and she would wake up coughing that horrible cough. I also sat in a steamy bathroom with her, helping her breathe. That's when I really fell in love with her. I prayed constantly she'd be ok.
Now she's feeling so much better that we're being treated to her loud bark and funny way of running and bouncing, like she's part rabbit. I'm so thankful. Two rounds of antibiotics and we still have a few days to go, but our fur babies are so worth it.
Dmasy, I loved your Bed and Breakfast production notes! Funny!
However, I am appalled that you forgot to mention that all instructions for the guests would be on Post-it notes attached to walls, light switches, mirrors and cabinet doors. They really need to know about those. Really. You know, stuff like "place black plastic garbage bag on counter before using anything with sugar", "it's OK to walk on counters barefoot or sit on countertop." "Call me in to take pictures of your first potty with us".
**** count me among those who grab the remote when those horrible animal commercials come on. Not only "Arms of the Angels" but also "You Were Always on My Mind" is ruined forever for me.
Two weeks ago today, my husband and I adopted a 12 week old puppy from our VERY crowded animal shelter. They just discovered she had kennel cough the day I saw her. I have a good friend who volunteers there and she said a diagnosis of kennel cough makes the dog temporarily unadoptable and possibly no one would want the dog (they recover, but it takes a while, antibiotics twice a day, cough medicine, etc). She said they would have given her anywhere from two days to two weeks to be adopted or be put down. They simply don't have a spare square inch of room anywhere and sick dogs are the first to go.
The reason I say all this is because if she were still there today and they hadn't put her to sleep yet, today would be the day.
I've taken care of her full-time for the last two weeks and she's about 98% recovered. VERY spunky, full of energy and personality and so incredibly loving and smart. We fell in love with her immediately. Today, her life would have ended, but instead she's living in a home with another dog (who loves her!), four cats, and two adults who pamper her. What's that saying? Lucky dog?
Once a Viewer 100 - tail docking is still necessary in some breeds because of the terrain they work in. Aussie tails get horribly tangled in thick brush. I understand that the WORKING sporting dogs that don't have docks injure their tails easily. However, most animals being docked aren't working. I understand that the docking is a distinguishing breed characteristic. I understand that it's done at 2-3 days and the pups don't seem bothered by it. But I also know that most dogs don't exhibit physical pain. I also know that the tail is an extension of the spine, and in cases of too short of a dock, the dog can have incontinence and other issues. I'm really on the fence with it. I don't like it but I understand it. My younger aussie is docked. My Old Dog aussie (who sadly passed away 15 mos ago when her body finally collapsed) was a rescue with a full, beautiful tail. (That did tangle when we tracked). If I get another aussie it'll probably be a rescue and I'll probably look again for the full tail.
Ears are a different matter as they're cosmetic only. Also, they're not done until 14 wks when the nervous system is far more advanced. I hate cropped ears. :-(
And for the record, my screen name came from my old dogs. I have beagle mixes (boxer?) now, sister littermates that are incredibly adorable, which is what has kept them alive through their first 21 mos of life. :-) Also an aussie that lives with my ex that I still get to see, because we put our pets first. He kept two dogs and the cats, I took the 3rd, but mine stayed with him during the day all week and over night a couple times so he could see her frequently. It was hard seeing him sometimes at first but it was more important that the pets not suffer from our human mistakes. If only Kate could do that. :-(
You guys are on a roll tonight! Mama Mia, you might make me cry :) Sorry I'm posting so much, but I just got my FIRST (yes first) iPhone!!!!!!!! Can you believe it? I am so awesomestish!
Yes, in a working animal if it's necessary, I suppose, but I'm sure they feel pain....I used to have to watch baby boys be circumcised without any anesthetic and believe me, they felt it!! The mothers were lied to if their child cried. Now numbing agents are used, and that's a whole other issue for debate. But senseless maiming of animals is very cruel IMO.
That's a very good example of you & your ex not letting the animals (or yourselves)suffer from your break-up (I'm sorry) Kate could certainly learn from you.
LoverOfDogs: Kate Goseling could have learned something about raising sextuplets from Holly! a minute ago ------------------------------------ SO FUNNY - from the golden retriever live puppy cam! Exactly what I've been thinking all along.
Looks like Kate & Jamie are out on the prowl tonght, a "friend" let them out and even took a hooker picture for them. Since she has no other friends, guess she had to pay someone to watch 11, count 'em, 11 children. Hope the babes have a swell time out tonight, as we all know it's all about Kate's FUN. I would think hese kids are pretty tired of each other by now, given how little they have done all week.
I wonder if the kids cried and begged them not to go like last time. I wish they would just come out and admit that both of them can't stand these burdensome kids.
Wow, so one friend will mange the 11 kids? Who is this friend; did Mrs Smith 'drop by?'
Kate and Jamie have similar colored ( sort of) outfits on. Both posing to the side- did Kate teach Jamie this? Look a bit skanky to me, but not as bad as the tube top dress. Wonder if there will be any toe-licking tonight? Ugh.
Kate's dining room is nice- I guess they don't use it much...they really did not NEED that house.
OK, I just watched the video and it made me cry so I went over and gave my bully a big hug. I was rewarded with him raising that big old block head of his and hitting me in the nose giving me a bloody nose!
Kate's hair is getting worse. No wonder Kimmel made that comment about finding a new hair stylist. Why is Jamie wearing casual white shorts? She's worn that outfit before.
I like Kate's dress. At least it isn't one of those tube tops she's been flaunting lately.
Bad storms here. It looks like Armageddon out there.
Problem is there are kids now and they come first and you aren't going to be able to do everything you once did when you want to do it. Don't like that don't have kids.
********************************************
So much flip-flopping here. First, you said if young parents never took their kids to loud, violent movies they would never get out of the house.
So Kate says she doesn't have a publicist and never has....hmmm...btw looks like she hasn't been to NYC lately...she's got a dual theme going on tonight...SKUNK and SKANK (look Kate...u didn't have to change shoes for that look..only one letter! Lol
Jon's always been able to handle the kids with little muss or fuss. He took care of them on w/e's while KK was working her "double shifts" at the dialysis center when the tups were little. He took care of them when she was on her books and boobyguard tours. KK always dismissed that because "he has help" -- with the housekeeping and cooking. Ironic, since she always complained bitterly about having to do it "all alone", when she actually had plenty of help. Jon's parenting was never perfect (Is anyone's?), but he certainly managed to entertain, care for, discipline and interact with his kids without complaint.
Confused, I clearly said you aren't going to be able to do EVERYTHING once you have kids not that you have to shut yourself up like a hermit. Further I never said I agree with taking kids to the movies but rather I don't judge private people who do. You're Susan aren't you who loves to twist and turn and overall seem like a very unhappy person who clearly has a personal problem with someone on a BLOG they don't know. I wish happiness on you and a hobby.
Never had a publicist? I'm sure Julie Carson May will be happy to hear that. Just what does Kate think her PR rep is and what does she think the PR reps job entails? Katie, Katie, Katie, let's give credit where credit is due. Without a publicist you would have never had those glowing articles in People, etc. She really is an ungrateful bitch.
I noticed that Jamie is standing on her toes while posing with Kate. Did Kate teach her to do that?
Actually, we have no idea if they can handle them. They might all be having huge fights, and problems.
-----------------
I think we'd know. The kids would complain to Kate that the other three children are being mean, fighting, and beating up on them, and Kate would let it leak to the media that Liz can't control her children.

@readleelove I don't have a publicist. Never have. Not sure where you got that??! 34 minutes ago _________________________________________
Where did they get that you have a publicist!!!??? From YOU, you lying sack of shit.
And I quote: "These are people who absolutely love us and want to see us through to the end," Kate says of Neild and his family. "Of course, both of them travel with us at times, and we've spent holidays together, because, in this situation, your circle grows smaller and smaller, and it's very natural to become friends with your manager, your publicist, your security team ... they're the only people you have left. And now they're coming under fire."
I have been crazy busy getting one DS ready for college (sniff) and another DS his driver's permit (watch out fellow Central PAers!) and finishing up my summer to-do list... since I don't have a "girl" to do it for me ;) However, I am NEVAH too busy to call Kate out for the shady liar that she is.
Kate is out with Jamie for "Girls Night" and she can't turn off the damn phone? She's tweeted 12 tweets in the last hour and is still tweeting away. If I were Jamie, I wouldn't be too happy. How much ruder can Kate get?
Anyone who wants to date her shouldn't be concerned she has 8 kids, they should be more concerned about her having an Iphone and twitter account.

Long day- Not commenting on the PSU fiasco other than so very disturbing on so many levels......
As for her highness(Krap)suddenly having Jamie come to her home at the same time she is fishing for a dating show, I find her so predictable. She and Jamie went on a dating venture in NY -toe licking, etc... basically a bunch of crap, that did not float.
In short, my guess is with this new announcement of a "dating show," she now needs a female companion for her "potential show" to go looking for men with (she can't take Steve on a date), so she now needs a female companion to be on her "dating show." It is very transparent, she is shoving Jamie down our throats with pictures, twitter, etc..
Kate is all about herself, so somehow she has lured Jamie back (and I do think she is a doormat) with promises/incentives - who knows of what with her "new dating show." She is using Jamie to promote her show. They are going out tonight- much like NY dating scene.
Krap is transparent, a user, and if Jamie goes along with Kate's insanity, she deserves what she gets. There will be no show. But I am sure Kate is feeding her crap, how she will be on the show, etc.. in order to meet her own needs. More of Kate using Jamie to promote a show that will never happen. Jamie needs to talk to Beth and Jodie, but somehow, I think Jamie believes she is going to be on some dating show with Kate. The timing is too coincidental, and apparently Jamie is down for being on TV with Kate, although it will never happen. They may actually deserve each other.
JCM is technically her manager, so I guess Kate doesn't consider her a "publicist". Kate may not have a publicist now, but she can't say she NEVER had one. This woman was the publicist for "Multiple Blessings":
Karen Campbell is an award-winning public relations specialist with 14 years of experience in the publishing industry. She has successfully worked on publicity campaigns for 14 New York Times bestsellers and worked with top-selling authors such as Kate Gosselin, Karen Kingsbury, Lee Strobel, Philip Yancey, John Ortberg, Rob Bell, Shane Claiborne, etc. In 2009, Karen was awarded the WMPRSA Gold PRoof Award for the publicity campaign for “Multiple Blessings” by Jon and Kate Gosselin with Beth Carson.

THANK GOD SHE IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL : ) Oh the drama....Really Kate, you got a burn for God's sakes. The NPD is killing me.
This whole Penn State thing. At the end of the day, Sandusky was the pedophile and criminal who molested the boys. All of those in a position to put an end to Sandusky's abuse of kids, Paterno included, failed. If Paterno had followed up on this with law enforcement, called a news conference, revealed what he knew, he could have prevented more boys from being victims, and he could have come out of this mess being hailed as a hero. He didn't, and that's the reason the statue was removed and why there is so much anger toward him. He WAS Penn State, but his allegiance to the school was greater than his concern for these young boys. That's tragic.
One can blame the media, blame the college police, blame the Nittany Lion mascot. Passing the buck isn't going to cut it in this fiasco.

@@@@@@@@@@@@
Oh exactly what i think! And then I get the pathetic image of these two aging babes out on the town sonewhere not far from the Kompound, Thursday night, huggin two barstools, and bff Jamie gets to watch Kate twat away, and away, and away. Enjoying the vacay J? Funny how Kate does not need Officer Escort to ind her way to a bar.
I think Old Scrotum Legs aka Kate Gosselin picked a nice looking dress to wear but that hair! It reminds me of those cheap wigs that come as part of a Halloween costume. Jamie a wedge, the simplest tool known to man and she's Kate's biotch.
Maybe the girls are in a limo headed to NY for dinner with Jason. Passenger time to be on twitter. They got ready really early -- time for the travel. Maybe?
Kate told Ted Gibson on twitter that the world sure is worked up about her dating show news. The whole world, Kate? She's delusional. And she is LOVING all of this speculation. Pretty quiet today, though. Only a one-day story I hope.
Kate has no idea what a Publicist is so doesnt even know if she has/had one. JCM is a talent manager so depending on what that tweeter meant when referring to her having a good publicist, he/she could have been referring to whoever is doing whatever is being done to get her name out there about some stupid dating show...
Kate can spend as much time as she wants on the cover of the tabloids, or on internet rags mags...but it doesnt pay the bills...
I too would like to know the connection tho to the Rock n Rock marathons. When she went to LA someone said her new BBB was comped by the RnR Marathon. Does anyone remember that?
Now articles are coming out about Jimmy Kimmel's spoof. The video on Youtube has over 24,000 views. What network would even think about picking up the show when it's obvious that most people think it's hilarious that Kate would even think about having a dating show?
When Ted Gibson tweeted that he heard the news, Kate in her usual double-speak coded Katese tweeted:
Ted Gibson@tedgibson @Kateplusmy8 I just heard the news #major #fun xo
Kate Gosselin@Kateplusmy8 @tedgibson lol.News without news so is it news? :)Hmmm..But whichever,the world sure is all worked up about it!:) (sigh) what's new,ya know?
Kate, the world has other things to be worked up, least of which is not you.
Oh Kate. The world or at least this country is worked up about a tragic shooting last week and a terrible tragedy in that several young boys were molested under the watch of educators we used to trust. Among some of the other major news stories that have nothing to do with her. On a blog that is about YOU there are even more posts about these other things going on than you, lol.
Sherry Baby she says her agenda is to call us out on our B.S. Private people just doing for the most park lighthearted snarking on a celeb blog. Personally I find this stalker of ours to be creepy and obsessive.
-it's all about POWER and CONTROL. And, of course, the monthly child support cheques. 0000000000000000000000000 She also would have to pay him support instead which she wouldn't like. I always wondered if Jon would get control of the kids' money (to use for their care)

I cannot remember who originally posted the link to the puppy cam...but thank you so much! It has become such a fixture for us, that we haven't watched TV in over a week. I am so excited. We live within 60 miles of the pups and have made arrangements to visit them on Saturday to Puppy Pet!! Warrior Canine Companion certainly has my support.
So in the matter of a few weeks she got a nice weekend trip to Chicago, a night out on the town with Jamie and lots of time with her, and now a nice little gaunt to NYC to be pampered? Oh not to mention all of Jon's visitation weekends mixed in.
Kate is a twit said... 146 Kate is out with Jamie for "Girls Night" and she can't turn off the damn phone? She's tweeted 12 tweets in the last hour and is still tweeting away. If I were Jamie, I wouldn't be too happy. How much ruder can Kate get? ------
She's tweeting Ted & Jason she need to get her dinner at O&F and weave fixed so it's okay.
Someone up post said that the people in Colo were complaining the Amer Red Cross was not helping them. This I know is not entirely true. The Amer Red Cross is stretched so thin, more so with the homeless, the fires, tornadoes. But when you all donate on the 800 phone #, you must specify your location, you want the money to go to your hometown, say that. When you write a check, put your location on the Top Line.......American Red Cross in Berks Cty, PA., where ever you live, specify, I believe you can do that with the Salvation Army also, specify your town, your location.
Just tonight we are experiencing severe storms, lightening, rain, wind. Holding my breath at times, hoping the roof doesn't blow off. Mother Nature has been a challenge these past few years and with all of the unemployed, homeless shelters filled, it is all very sad.
Have to end with a bit of slapping Kate around, don't I? I hope she gets the show and that is it, she is over. Steve probably arranged all of this when he put her on the Tweeting and her blog. I kind of knew this would be her waterloo, the bachelorette.
Bearswife said... 172 I might have to change my name to Old Scrotum Legs! LOL over here :0 ************************************************* Noooo...we need to save the name for Kate, we'll talk in code like she does and refer to her as OSL. ;)
Kate must be full of box o-wine tonight. Going out to party, geez, she is not too tired tonight is she after all her & Jaime were taking care of 11 count them 11 kids, not to mention the not hired help. She says she does not have a PR(since when?)Or according to Kate never did. And I see Kate is getting ready to run off to NYC for hair. So will Kate leave for NYC friday or will Jaime go with her or will Kate go after Jaime & kids leave? Maybe this going out tonight is cause Jaime is leaving tomorrow. Then Kate will dump the kids on Jon or wait till monday and dump kids on the not hired help.
Also Kate I have no idea why you think it's normal for your circle to grow smaller once you are famous. While it's true there may be only a few people you truly trust, there is no reason whatsoever you cannot continue all the friendships you had before this all happened.
Who knows, maybe Kate and Jamie are going to NY to "film" for the dating show that will never happen. With Steve as the camera man. They are all that pathetic.
Wouldn't put anything past Kate. More Kate Hyperbole to try to pretend/promote a show that will never happen. Her frantic twittering is very obvious. LOOK AT ME!!
Sherry Baby she says her agenda is to call us out on our B.S. Private people just doing for the most park lighthearted snarking on a celeb blog. Personally I find this stalker of ours to be creepy and obsessive.

r3boz @Kateplusmy8 it sure would! We'll stay n touch!
These fans think that they are Kate's best friends, that Kate really cares about them and that she'd hang out with them. Kate doesn't know them, where they come from, who they are, or what their motives are. Is she not aware of the dangers of stalking, or doesn't she care because these fans are the only thing she has left?
Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) said... 171 So in the matter of a few weeks she got a nice weekend trip to Chicago, a night out on the town with Jamie and lots of time with her, and now a nice little gaunt to NYC to be pampered? Oh not to mention all of Jon's visitation weekends mixed in.
Poor thing, never any me time. ------
I know so sad Kate never gets a vacation or me time.
She never ever spend money on herself she never treats herself.
It's such a rare occasion and when she does it's for the kids sake.
So why do us haters give her a break I mean it's not like she deserves it.-(anark)
I have to question how much she really cares about Jamie if all she is doing is turning to her iphone. The iphone is the last thing on my mind when I'm out with friends or family. To the point where sometimes I'm like wait, where is my phone again?
"News without news so is it news"is Katespeak for "I put the word out that I want a show (news), but the networks aren't biting (without news), so I don't have a show (so is it news)". She thinks she's so clever, doesn't she? Funny how Ted Gibson and Jason don't seem to initiate contact with her, but now that Ted thinks she's going to be back on TV, he is all over her. They have been stringing along her hair-care discount in the hopes that she'll end up back on TV and they can get some publicity off her. How many years of discounts will she get from them before they realize she's a dud? I get the feeling that even with her big discount, she's having a hard time coming up with the cash for her NYC trips. She's overdue for a touch-up, so now she's got a balding-fried-skunk look going on. **shudder**
Also Kate I have no idea why you think it's normal for your circle to grow smaller once you are famous.
_________________
I guess it is normal for the circle to grow smaller when you burn bridges and trample upon the "little people" on your way up to the top. The friends that you had are worthless. They can give you nothing, and so you cast them aside. Only those you can use to further you career are the ones that you keep. Those are the ones she mentioned.
Kate tweeted: But whichever,the world sure is all worked up about it!:) (sigh) what's new,ya know?
****
The WORLD? This is the height of an inflated ego. So funny, and yet so pathetic. It's sad, really. She doesn't get that the world does not look to her for inspiration or survival.
Westbrooke, Thank you for the links to John Ziegler! It's comforting to know that I am not the only one who sees how insanely the Joe Paterno aspect of this mess has been handled in the media, as well as by the people lacking in critical thinking skills who condemned him from day 1, despite the facts. Signed, A Penn Stater
Just a reminder-the DWTS cast will be announced tomorrow morning at 10:30am PDT(1:30pm EDT). Rumors are flying today about who's going to be cast, but Kate's name is not being mentioned. However, Pam Anderson's name is. The announcement is not going to be televised, but can be found at various sites(just google DWTS). It will also be announced on twitter:
Official DWTS@DancingABC The Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars cast will be announced here tomorrow at 10:30A.M. PT!
Linda in Central PA said... 169 I cannot remember who originally posted the link to the puppy cam...but thank you so much! It has become such a fixture for us, that we haven't watched TV in over a week. I am so excited. We live within 60 miles of the pups and have made arrangements to visit them on Saturday to Puppy Pet!! Warrior Canine Companion certainly has my support.
July 26, 2012 6:08 PM
Linda - I THINK it was me...in any case, I'm so jellus of you getting to go visit them! Do you know what time you'll be there, what you'll be wearing? Or hold up a sign saying hi! No, never mind - just enjoy those gorgeous babies and beautiful Holly. That site is so addictive - and I'm not even a dog person. Well, I'm an animal person in general, but I've never had the privilege of having a dog, only cats. (Still in the hellhole, desperately missing my kitties. Not sure why I'm torturing myself watching those puppies, but they're pretty irresistible.) HAVE FUN on Saturday!!
Kate is a twit thanks for the reminder about that! Maybe Kate is out celebrating tonight. Or maybe trying to drown her sorrows. Anyone's guest.
I set a post about this announcement to go automatically at 10am PST tomorrow so watch for it because I won't be around to remind you to move to the new thread! :)

Admin-You're welcome. I'll post the cast in the new thread as soon as I find out.
Kate's probably drowning her sorrows. I highly doubt she'll be included-but I'll feel better when it's been confirmed.
If she doesn't make it, she'll at least have 100,000 tweeties to console her. I do find it a bit odd that not one of them has even mentioned DWTS recently. They most likely believe that she won't be on either.
Of course, I'll also expect the sheeple to start dissing on some of those that do make it. If Pam Anderson is in, I can just hear them complaining "what, how dare they have Pam on-Kate should be there instead".
I don't know what all the hype is about a dating show. She never said she was waiting for three yrs for this. Paige retweeted it that SHE was. Kate just replied, I'm not sure of her exact words, I think sign me up or something along that line. Sorry no link, I have to hurry.
This is not personal to anyones comment, just how I saw how her tweet read.
Njay yes. We said from the second this news came out it didn't add up and needed to be fact checked. We sure wanted more confirmation than People or E! seemed to want. Then when Kate started tweeting her cryptic will I won't I stuff it started to take off.
I'm surprised that K8's fans aren't tweeting their support for her on DWTS All-Stars twitter page. And yeah, maybe a little surprised that her "haterz" aren't weighing in, either. #holdingtheirfire?

Great job on listing all of Kate's failures, but I think you forgot one.
Cookbook Author
Kate's cookbook "Love is in the Mix" whose publishing was delayed due to the divorce, never sees the light of day.
Who would date Kate...?
How about a zombie
A serial killer
A Zombie
Dick Cheney
Freddy Kruger
Jason Voorhees
Please don't say Drew Peterson if they got together she and Steve would moved to Chicago.
Dwindle, your "Kate Dates a Jackson" story is hilarious!
Kate seems to complain a lot about her BFF and kids- the noise, crowding, the exhaustion...well, wouldn't Jamie be used to dealing with her kids and Kate with her own (lol) Very rude IMO. (latest tweet)
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8
And, FYI, if I miss ur tweet or email, please know, nothing personal, just really busy! XO

Busy doing what?
You have no job Jamie seems to be taking care of all the kids so.
What are you so busy with Kate that you can answer you fans back.
All "Miss Positivity" Kate has done during Jamie's visit is complain how tiring and exhausting it is to have 11 kids in the house.
Rather than just state "it's great to reunite with my friend and her kids and we're having a wonderful time", she just grouses about how hard it is.
At least she mentioned Jamie by name this time.

Improbable Dreams, 197 -- Thank you. I was trying to think of a response to Doubletalk that would be informative and respectful.
You did it for me ... and probably several others.
I appreciate your words.
####
Thank YOU. I've felt uncomfortable at times with the directions our conversations take, but I've never once wavered in my support for the G8 (and other reality tv kids)--the reasons we've come together in the first place.
Jamie is complaining about exhaustedishness because she is being stuck with kate's kids while she continues her own usual alone 'me' time activities.
Doesn't kate have any comprehension skills? How can she not see that the 'scrubbing the hood' pics just look like 'posed drivel' since they were both on the same side in their pics scrubbing when one on each side would have been much more effective. Oh, silly me, how and what would she know about effective?
When will she really, truly, finally, actually be over, through, done, finished, 'its a wrap', gone?????? ??
Its hard to imagine that huge, huge house could feel crowded with 11 pretty young kids. Crowded is a little ranch house filled with half my teenage son's hockey team, a bunch of big boys hanging out and sleeping over-teenagers spilling out everywhere. And we are happy to do it - we encourage him to arrange these sleepovers as often as he wants.
Dwindle: I also enjoyed your story! The Jackson family is very dysfunctional. Again, seems to be mostly about money , using the three kids as pawns. Paris is speaking her mind, though. Amazing she is able to do this after a life 'under wraps.'
But back to Kate- that would be a terrific concept, lol. Jermaine with "Bills in my purse" really made me ROTFL.
Dwindle-I,too, loved your synopsis of Kate dating the Jacksons.
What makes this board so great is the talented, witty people that post here.
Heard this on NPR last night – fascinating.
Former marketing director for American Apparel, Ryan Holiday, explains how he leaked fake information and lied to reporters. And he says, what he's done is the rule, not the exception.
A quote: (bolding mine)
Holiday: So I discovered about a year ago, there's this service that's called HelpAReporterOut.com. Basically, the reporter needs a subject for a trend piece; I'm promoting something, I say, 'I'll be your trend subject,' and we trade. The reporter doesn't really have to do their job, and the source gets free publicity. So what I wanted to prove was that this backroom arrangement left the front door wide open to all sorts of media manipulation. And so, in about six months, I was able to deceive almost every major media outlet -- not a single one fact-checked, not a single one asked, 'Hey, why are you giving us this information? What's in it for you?' Look, sources have always been self-interested -- we've known this -- but we've almost embraced that self-interest and not asked: 'What are the consequences of doing so?'
http://www.marketplace.org/topics/life/big-book/marketer-explains-how-he-manipulated-mass-media
Also, count me in as someone who changes the channel when the abused animal commercial comes on.
You know guys, what's even funnier, about Kate complaining about having 11 kids, in the house, with 2 adult(that's questionable)and probably a couple of not a sitter/nanny/hired help etc), is that Jon and his GF, take care of 11 kids, when she has her 3 and the G8, and no sitter/nanny/hired help etc. Just Jon & his GF taking on 11 kids. Jon never has complained once, even when he has just the 8. Kate really dislikes those kids and really can't handle them. Or is Kate just being LAZY!
Oh, yeah, to answer Jaime question on how to build up immunity ? Quit drinking boxed wine(and partying with Kate after the kids go to bed) at night, then you would not be hung over or tired in the morning.
I have to watch those tearjerker ads. Makes me feel so awful I am not in the position atm to adopt/foster but if I change the channel I feel like a traitor? Doesn't make sense, I know...so many animal lovers here- glad to hear admin's sweet foster dog will go to a loving home and the other stories- those brighten my day. Just walked my own critter- really enjoy that, and cherish it as she's nine now...
I too change the channel.
Kate complaining of feeling crowded in her mini-mansion is just another example of why she is unlikeable. Who does that? Yes, we could understand if they lived in a 2 room bungalow, but really, Kate? It's such a turn-off to all of us. The sheeple surely must be feeling something negative about this. In addition, it is in poor taste.
So Jamie is there this week to a) babysit and b) witness the exhaustednish of Kate's summer days home alone with 8, count 'em, 8 kids. And what a wonderful and cheap staycation in PA for Jamie's kids. R POOL is getting quite the use.
It really is rude to spend so much time on twatter when you have company, also rather rude to be doing errands, not rescheduling routine doctor appts, and apparently, one farm visit aside, doing absolutely nothing special with or for your guests. All she does is complain and whine.
And this is the most fun and/or personal time Jamie, who does not live full time with her chidren, can manage in their summer? She and Kate deserve each other.
anger issues kate--but that is Kate's "schtick". She has to make sure everyone knows how it is so haaaaaard taking care of her kids, and now even harder with Jamie's kids there. Poor, poor Kate and Jamie.
Has anyone noticed that during this latest twittersode, Kate has not mentioned the pool once? I thought that was the mainstay of all the "fun times" they had.
I also wonder if Kate was only expecting Jamie to come visit, and Jamie surprised her by bringing her kids.
Also, speculation aside why a mother would not have custody of her children in a pro-mother state, it seems rather ungrateful of Jamie to be complaining. She doesn't have her kids much as it is.
I'm not going to lie though I am curious why she doesn't have custody. Things that make you go hmmm.
So funny at all the channel changers. Not only do I do that, or mute it and look away, or fast forward if it's tivoed, but "in the arrrrms of the angels" is like pavlov's dog to me. I can't even hear the song by itself anymore!
I think it it is all damage control to offset the lasting impression of the RV fight with Jamie and the poor treatment of Jamie's children by Kate and the G kids. Who knows. Maybe Kate is paying her the wages usually given to not-a-nanny and other Mr and Ms not-Help People. I think Jamie is an opportunist herself. She seemed to enjoy her time hanging on Kate's coat tails until the fight ( hard to do given the length of Kate's skirts!)
I so appreciate Brooke Burke's honesty. So many celebs think they have to pretend they do it all and that they don't have a live-in nanny plus a weekend nanny plus someone on call. Brooke embraces things like that and it has the opposite effect of what some celebs think it will--it makes people like her more.
anger issues #16 -
I agree, I am reading Jamie's comment about becoming immune to be more about life in a box of wine (when you are out of practice, or more than 2 weekend nights in a row) than about life with 8 - 11 kiddos about.
Hmmm...do we now we know why Khate needs coffee before she can get out of bed? The alcohol, the eating disorder, is she still using nicotine, too?
(I'm a caffeine consumer, but I am quite capable of getting up in the morning without consuming any caffeine before my feet hit the floor! And without an alarm clock.)

Lol, and groan. You and me, both!
I also turn off those "abused animal" commercials, but mostly because they make me flaming mad! Of course, I hate to see those poor animals, but the organizations running the commercials are grifting for your and my money and not using it to actually help the animals. HSUS does not operate a single shelter. The ASPCA has ONE shelter, in NYC. PETA euthanizes more than 90% of the animals they take in. Pity the animals, hate the people who mistreat them, and DO NOT support those organizations. Donate your money to your local shelters, rescues and low cost spay/neuter clinics.
Climbing off soap box now.
Admin -- Congrats on your little foster getting a forever home. Did your baby ever accept her? If he did, you may have a mopey doggie around the house for a few days.
Add to the list of KKhater Daters:
Fred Willard (At least we know he can still get it up)
Jerry Lewis
Dwindle -- HILARIOUS!! (I haven't forgotten I owe you an email. Later today, I promise).
Regarding helping animals. The best thing to do is drop off a bag or two of dog or cat food to your local shelter. They look for old newspapers to line cages and also kitty litter. This way you know your dollars are going to the animals and not lining the pockets of the "CEO"s of the commercials on TV.

So we should jump on board with this and get a list of folks together who would be good contestants/participants in her new show.
&&&&&&
Scott Peterson and Drew Peterson. Those Petersons draw the viewers. Forget Paul Petersen, though. I don't think he'd have much interest in Kate.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And don't forget MICHAEL PETERSON, The Staircase Murderer.
I don't watch those ads either. Those ads ruined the song "In the Arms of the Angels" for me.
Seems like there's a problem with twitter. I can't bring up anything at twitter.com or twazzup.com. Even the tweets above have disappeared. Looks like Kate may have to wait awhile for that 100,000th follower.
Does anyone remember when she was close to 10,000 and all her tweeties were unfollowing and refollowing her so that the could be the 10,000th one? I wonder if they're going to try that again.
We will watch the show and give it ratings cause we are all so busy but will make sure to have the time to watch this show
++++++++++++++
I assume you are talking about the collective "we." I will never watch a show, busy or not. I stopped watching Kate Plus Eight after the first show, which I only watched because I was curious about the format.
Dwindle said, " ME! I bellow "get that off!" And just when you think it is safe to go back, nooooo it is still on! I swear it is 3 minutes long, full of flailing and emaciated animals.
++++++++++++++++++++++
Dwindle! Yes! Those commercials just don't stop! I don't have to watch this abuse to know it's going on. I know that kids are suffering from cancer and are spending their last days in hospitals, but I don't have to watch a commercial showing children undergoing chemo in order for me to donate to St. Jude or another children's hospital. JudyK is right - the commercials that were created to play on our sympathies are having the opposite effect.
Why do I get the feeling Katie and Jamie sat up all night in her bedroom painting each other's toenails and making crank calls? What a couple of imbeciles. I sure as hell wouldn't hire them as babysitters.
Ditto with the cruelty to animals ads. The slo-mo video and the close-ups of the animals faces in crates, Sarah M singing that mournful tune in the background ... oh aggh. I tear up thinking about how horrible some people are to animals and that includes Kate. I wish she'd never brought Shoka back.

Ex Nurse great overview of Kate's failures. Perhaps Admin could link that on the sidebar for future reference and additions?

I agree. Thanks Ex Nurse.
She had some great opportunites and she lost every one of them to due to her personality. She's a dud. A schlub. (thanks Rhymes!)
I wonder what she's going to do for the rest of her life to keep food on the table, besides child support checks from her ex? I doubt if she'll retire on the money CC is paying her.
Maybe she's planning to latch on to an elderly millionaire who leaves a fortune to her in his will. Not that I care, I just wonder sometimes how this is all going to turn out for her.
I also hate to see the commercials because they make me so sad. But that was one of the reasons I adopted my rescue. I can't believe he had been a stray at only five months. He is the cutest and most loving little guy and is always kissing me and oh, biting my toes! Lol! My beagle is starting to adjust to him and that's a good thing!!
Kate and Jaime have a lot in common and that's probably why they are still together . Kate has been abusing, taking advantage of Jaime all through the years and Jaime doesn't seem to mind! I don't think Jaime would still be around if Kate was just a nobody! They deserve each other!! Poor, poor kids!! Yucky, yucky mothers!!
Admin:
Could you please start a pet thread? I am frankly so sick of KG that I don't know how much more of her boring, boringness I can stand.
I am very interested in hearing more from the animal experts about the ASPCA, and Humane Society. I thought those were legitimate animal charities. There is a local HS here in my city. Don't donations fund those facilities? I don't know much about this topic, but I am a bleeding heart animal lover.
What is going on with Kate's twitter feed?
So if the two of them are going nuts in the house with eleven kids, why didn't they go to the beach? Two adults plus a nanny and Steve should be able to handle the kids for a week in a rented house at the Jersey shore, or maybe even BHI!
Wowser-Twitter has confirmed they are having problems and twitter is currently down.
Dwindle, I love love love your suggestion of a dating show featuring the jacksons and Ms Kreider!
Maybe she's planning to latch on to an elderly millionaire who leaves a fortune to her in his will. Not that I care, I just wonder sometimes how this is all going to turn out for her.

Right. And her next reality show will be titled, "The Cougar and the Codger." Ugh...
And don't forget MICHAEL PETERSON, The Staircase Murderer.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Thanks! I was trying to think of his name! I knew there was another Peterson. Convicted of murdering his wife, Kathleen, same name as Drew's wife, weird, huh? Isn't he out of prison waiting for a new trial? There you go, Kate, this one is out of jail and available!
Oh my! What will Kate do not being able to read all the gushing adoring titter messages from her asskissing not-quite 100,000 fans? She's probably talking to herself in the mirror
I don't think Jamie said that. She was with Kate on the RV trip--talk about being hit with a mack truck! Kate tweets that stuff so her idiot fans will tell her how "awesome" she is.
Judy K ......195
I just read your comment and I have to say I have mixed feelings about the commercials with the sad faces of the cute dogs and cats. I am an avid animal lover and its so painful to watch those commercials but it reminds me of an old Spanish saying" oyoes que no mirren, corazon que no siente" translation: " if your eyes don't see it, your heart won't feel it " . Also don't they use that money to rescue them, feed them, and take care of them until they are adopted! The top two charities I donate to are St. Jude's and SPCA and local rescue centers!
Children and abused/ unwanted animals have always been at the top of my list to do whatever I can to help!
BTW...... Kate fans don't bother to correct my Spanish spelling , it's been a long time since I took a Spanish class!! No need!!
Re donations to shelters:
Old baby blankets, bath towels, dish towels are also good items to donate.

Kate: Mirror Mirror on the wall who's the best mom ever?
Mirror: U my queen.
Kate:Oh Mirror Mirror on the wall how's the skinniest?
Mirror: U my queen.
Kate:Mirror Mirror on the wall who the best reality star the best writer the best dancer the best runner of them all".
Mirror: Why Kate Gosselin is and Jon sucks.
Kate:Mirror Mirror on the wall will I get another show and get paid to do nothing.
Mirror: Of course you will cause people love you.
And that goes on and on till her twitter sheep start kiss her butt.
Thanks to all for the congrats for the newest four-legged member of our family.
Dwindle, I totally get why your rottie's middle name is BigDopeyBaby. Several years ago our youngest daughter decided, without telling my husband and I, to adopt an approximately three year old rottie. She pulled into the driveway in her Volkswagen Beetle with this massive thing in the passenger seat. She gets out of the car and Tyson jumps out after her. He scared the crap out of my husband and I because all he seemed to be doing was growling while furiously wagging his little stubbie tail. We came to realize that his growling was "talking" and the happier he was, the more he "talked". He was an absolute sweetheart. And the only time he wasn't wagging his tail was when he was sleeping. But I do have to say he looked ridiculous in our daughter's tiny car because he was so big. So yeah, I would say BigDopeyBaby is a perfect description.
As for the commercials, I turn the channel as well. If you want to donate money, definitely do it locally. At least you know where you money is going.
I dont understand why Kate complains about have 3 more kids when there is one more adult there to help take care of all 11 kids. That makes a ratio of 5.5 kids/ adult. When Jamie is not there with her kids, the ratio is 8 kids/adult. She should be talking about how much fun they are having going to visit amish country, going to dutch wonderland exc. Instead, according to Kate, Jamie is having to do lots of work around the house and is complaining about it.

Count me in with the sad doggie commercial channel changers.
Kate can open/operate a themed Bed And Breakfast. Single moms bring their kids and come stay for a few days.
Activities include helping Kate with deep cleaning and running errands.
Stay package comes with a promise to spend quality time with the multiples while Kate exercises.
Pool, sorry to say, is an additional charge.
Fine print recommends that you supplement with your own food since the Gosselin menu is limited.
Farmer Henry will provide neighborhood transportation.
Guests will be provided with a list of compliments that should be repeated to Kate on an hourly basis.
Casual clothes are required so that in random photo shoot Kate will be able to "out style" any other mom.
A release allowing your photo to appear on Twitter is mandatory.
I know, this plan is not as exciting as being a stah -- but....

She's an idiot when it comes to promotion. If she IS shopping a dating show why not just say so? Get buzz going, fuel the rumors.
*************
Seems to me that there is plenty of buzz going. Multiple media outlets have picked up the story. Jimmy Kimmel has spoofed her. She doesn't need to fuel anything. The match already has been lit.
I wonder if "fitness expert" and "marathon runner" Kate will even mention the Olympics. I hope she will at least let the kids watch the coverage, especially Cara.
I noticed that she is now following Olympic marathon runner Kara Goucher on twitter.
Admin...23 "in the arrrrms of the angels" is like pavlov's dog to me...Admin, you are definitely not alone there! My daughter had to stop using that song for auditions (no worries, she's very much an adult) because it just turns people off even though she sings it beautifully. I admire Sarah McLachlan's intent but I'm afraid she's become the face of depression rather than helping unfortunate animals.
Betsy...40, the local societies do wonderful work, my two fabulous furboys came from a Humane Society shelter. The national organizations, however, are a completely different story. Very little of the donated funds go to help the animals and are instead used to pay salaries and promote the NO PETS at all philosophy.
I think the problem Kate and Jamie may be having is they seem to want everything they had before kids. The partying, drinking, jaunts to NYC, taking off for a run whenever you want, going out to dinner, staying up late and sleeping in, ditching kids to do what they want. Problem is there are kids now and they come first and you aren't going to be able to do everything you once did when you want to do it. Don't like that don't have kids.
Betsy 40 -
HSUS, PETA, and ASPCA do basically nothing to support the local shelters. Your local SPCA is not (for emphasis, I will repeat again that it is NOT) affiliated with the national organization. If you want to support animals, donate to your local shelters. You can donate money of course, but you can also donate food (bought with coupons on sale), toys (ask the shelter what they'd like), bedding/towels, and of course your time whether it's cleaning kennels, walking the dogs, or volunteering at outreach and fundraising events. Local rescues need foster homes, transport, home evaluations, fundraising and outreach, and more. There are MANY ways that you can help!

Dmasy - Do you realize you've actually come up with a feasible plan? This could work.
Kate could even install plexiglass doors on the kids' bedrooms so visitors can watch the kids while they play and sleep...for a fee of course. Wowy. It would be like reality tv only better!
Re Spanier (disgraced Penn State administrator) supposedly getting a job with the government - I did a search online to see what info I could find about this claim. What I found was that Spanier told "colleagues and friends in an e-mail that he will work with the U.S. government on a project tied to national-security issues during his sabbatical leave."
I couldn't find independent corroboration of his claim.
AussieGoldenLuv -- Excellent points. Other things that your local shelters can use -- Bleach, paper towels, kitty litter, cleaning supplies, rubber gloves.
Betsy and Tomatoes -- As AGL said, HSUS and the ASPCA are not connected with your local shelters. They are primarily political organizations (HSUS and ASPCA, that is). They are mainly involved in pushing legislation limiting pet owners' rights, harrassing and attempting to drive out of business all legitimate and responsible breeders (Absolutely, the mills need to be shut down. However, there are laws on the books for that already. They need to be enforced), making life difficult for farmers,eliminating dog and cat shows -- and every other type of animal show -- and collecting money. HSUS collected millions of dollars after Hurricane Katrina, ostensibly to fund their rescue and care of the animals affected by that disaster. Most of the actual work was done by the Cat Fanciers, AKC, various local and national rescues, and many, many volunteers. HSUS STILL hasn't accounted for the money they collected. Sorry, I seem to have found that soap box again.
AuntieAnn -- why, thank you. I suspect that my skeleton business plan can be tweaked by any and all here and improved upon greatly.

Donate your money to your local shelters, rescues and low cost spay/neuter clinics.
-----------------------------------
Very good advice and that's a rule of mine almost across the board re donations of all kinds. I read a woman's account of how little help the Red Cross was during the recent devastating fires in Colorado. She was telling everyone not to donate to the Red Cross, but to make your donations locally, to be sure that money/food/clothing, goes directly to help victims in need.
I've long been wary of these large charitable organizations. I much prefer to make my donations to local charities.
AussieGolden Love and Betsy -- I followed those links. I learned so much that I did not know. Thank you.
The county I live in and the one adjacent have joined their shelter activities due to lack of funds (one closed). Over crowding is a serious problem. They recently published their kill/save ratio in our local paper. It is tragic.
You have given me ideas of how to help -- effectively. Thank you.

I've been reading a little more about the PSU scandal in order to better understand the discussions of it here. I don't know if this has been mentioned but I found an interesting article about the woman who actually broke the story about Sandusky. No one seemed interested in her findings in the beginning. Jaw dropping.

+++++++++++++
Thanks for this info. I wondered why the HS commercial was offering a free tote bag and subscription to their magazine. Those things cost money, and I don't see how that helps the animals.
Could you please elaborate on the comment about "making life difficult for farmers". There are factory farm practices I do not agree with (I am a vegetarian for both health and ethical reasons), but I am wondering what you are referring to. Thanks in advance.
Yes, I donate old towels, toys, new treats/food, blankets, dishes etc and my daughter volunteers to walk/play with dogs at our local shelter.
But am I the only one to watch those commercials? It just reminds me, as someone above said...I also donate to St Jude's, Tomatoes, even though I am nowhere near the facility. It's from watching the Marlo Thomas telethons, my nursing background & doing a little research.
Also donate to various animal groups, and my 'pet' cause, anti-circus (legit) organizations. For me, putting a face to the cause helps me to not turn a blind eye, , not that those of you who do not watch the commercials do, but it's easy to forget in our busy lives.( Elephants are my favorite creatures next to dogs. And a few humans!)
I'm wondering if Paterno supporters would still maintain their loyalty to him if it were their young son who was raped, knowing that Paterno had the power to stop the abuse and didn't. Would the reputation of Penn State and those in command there take precedent over exposing (and stopping) those who abused their own son?

Betsy, their intent and aim is to drive animal farming out of business. They propose legislation which is unfeasible, massively expensive and unnecessary. I agree with you about factory farming, BTW. I'm not, however, a vegetarian. I'm a happy omnivore, but I try to eat cruelty free.
Chef summer: lol!! That was exactly how I saw the conversation with her mirror....only when she got to the part "mirror mirror on the wall, who's the best author of them all?". The mirror replies, "Robert" and Kate's head explodes!
Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law not in a court of public opinion. Because I have a different view that Sandusky is the criminal and Patrrno is not you talk about my child being raped. That is unbelievable. If you don't want to get to truth and facts because it is a tough topic that the NCAA and PSU wants put behind them in a rush to judgement fine. Now some of the so called journalists are actually reading the Freeh report and coming to a different conclusion. Thousands of children were helped by Second Mile and came on PSU campus each year. Few were raped because that is what pedophiles do---convicted criminal Jerry Sandusky groomed them and was a pedophile which IMO is a master manipulator. Here is one to review The Case Against Joe Paterno- Weak to non existent on current record which can be found on www.powerlineblog.com. Westbrooke

!!!!!!!! Yes, I have followed these elephants Tina & Jewel for years...they were in the circus which traveled here ( Cole Bros) and very poor health & conditions plagued these wonderful wise creatures. My kids refused elephant rides at a party they went to at the annual circus visit to our town. Said their eyes looked sad...
I do not attend zoos/circuses and I signed petitions/wrote letters to get Tina and Jewel off the road. I started research and was horrified at the training and conditions elephants in the circus endure. I became part of the movement to release them to sanctuaries and ban animal acts, as well as to educate others about the 'saddest show on earth.' These ellies were ordered to be sold, but they ended up with a circus-related cruel owner, Will Davenport, who rented them for TV ads, parties etc. Lived tied to a trailer in the heat.
Then they were sent to San Diego and things seemed much better...then off to LA Zoo- their enclosure is small, boring and dusty although they do go to other areas for public viewing etc. Things are better for these 'girls' now but nowhere near how they should be.
Thank you so much for posting the link- I hope other here read it and join the campaign to rid US circuses of any animal act. Cirque du Soleil for us.
Sorry for the rant- I could write a book. A cause dear to my heart/ please, do not attend the circus! Or go to zoos of the caliber of LA's. Thanks Witch.

************************************************
Well, WE get it, but do Jon and Liz? Coz I think that is why the number 11 is so important all of a sudden.
Two weeks ago today, my husband and I adopted a 12 week old puppy from our VERY crowded animal shelter. They just discovered she had kennel cough the day I saw her. I have a good friend who volunteers there and she said a diagnosis of kennel cough makes the dog temporarily unadoptable and possibly no one would want the dog (they recover, but it takes a while, antibiotics twice a day, cough medicine, etc). She said they would have given her anywhere from two days to two weeks to be adopted or be put down. They simply don't have a spare square inch of room anywhere and sick dogs are the first to go.
The reason I say all this is because if she were still there today and they hadn't put her to sleep yet, today would be the day.
I've taken care of her full-time for the last two weeks and she's about 98% recovered. VERY spunky, full of energy and personality and so incredibly loving and smart. We fell in love with her immediately. Today, her life would have ended, but instead she's living in a home with another dog (who loves her!), four cats, and two adults who pamper her. What's that saying? Lucky dog?
:)
Bravo, Witch!
Lovely story. You & your husband did a wonderful thing. :)
NCAA, if you thought the sanctions you imposed on PSU's program would inspire higher morale in big money college sports you are incompetent. If you intended to pull apart a program piece by piece you are simply pathetic. Setting precedent so that you can sleep better at night, knowing full well the hundreds of other things (shootings, drug use, rape) that are looked over because of the billion dollar college football business makes you just as guilty of this kind of misconduct and of perpetuating a culture of irresponsibility. Are football programs put on pedestals and players/coaches given too much power, YES. However, making the athletes of PSU who have worked their lives for this opportunity pay for the mistakes of those that came before them INSTEAD of helping BUILD the lives of those that were hurt by this misconduct is insanity. There are lessons to be learned from this and lives that need to be restored but the way this was handled is so poor and such an empty PR image restoring attempt by the NCAA, it is sickening. Let's not address the real problem and help create a culture of responsibility for college football as a whole to reduce all types of awful events from happening. Instead the NCAA chooses to cover a huge gash with a PR move bandaid to placate the shortsightedness of public opinion, not doing the real work that is needed in stitching up college football. From a female student athlete of an opposing school.

Just today I saw a beautiful picture in the current issue of National Geographic . . . its a picture of an elephant named Rajan walking in a rain forest on Havelock Island in India. It says he's retired from logging and takes this walk as part of his daily routine. The picture is just stunning with the sun streaming through the forest canopy. You can see it at PrintsNGS.com. Just click on August 2012 "In the magazine". It shows a small image of it, but you can get the idea. : )

While not everyone agrees with PETA and all of its policies, there is valid information there. For example, there are disturbing photos and a video by Alec Baldwin about the training/treatment of baby elephants for the circus. It is heart wrenching, and I challenge anyone to view animal circus acts the same way after seeing this.
Because I have a different view that Sandusky is the criminal and Patrrno is not you talk about my child being raped. That is unbelievable.
--------------------
What? I didn't talk about YOUR child being raped nor was this a personal address aimed specifically at you. I don't know your affiliation with Penn State, nor how far your support goes in regards to Paterno nor those responsible for this disaster. I was commenting about ALL of Paterno's supporters in general.
If the parent of a Joe supporter had a child who was raped, abused, kept in the basement by Sandusky, or whatever form of molestation occurred, would that supporter still claim that Joe (and the others who dropped the ball) was railroaded? It's not unbelievable. It's a valid question.

My precious black lab was also on death row at the pound because he had kennel cough. Luckily, he made it because a rescue group was contacted.
There are low cost spay/neuter clinics around. I think that is where we should focus our funding efforts. Until the animal population is reduced, overcrowded shelters can and will euthanize.
Didn't a killer whale just kill it's trainer recently? Or should I say, didn't ANOTHER....
What would people be more angry about? If Khate was arrested for abusing her kids or her dog? I fear it would be the dog charges.

I don't think wanting the right people held responsible and all those who played a role held responsible makes anyone not want to protect kids. I think it just means we want the right people held responsible. Just like how not only do I hold blankenship responsible, but also I a degree tlc, figure 8, robot and Jon and Kate. You could debate it forever who of those bears which share and responsible minds could certainly disagree without suggesting that if your hold were raped you would feel this way. I do still believe probation does nothing to help the kids and in fact might even hurt them if it brings down centre county's economy. I think all those players who are vowing to stick with it are admirable.

Thanks- I will be sure to checkout the photo. :)
Moose mania: Peterson is not a good name to have these days, beside the ones mentioned, there are several women with tha last name who are criminals too. Some were teachers, messing with young boys. Something about that name.
Auntieann: your too late the Dionne quints, had that done to them back in the 30-40's? By the Canadian Gov. They were put on display like Zoo animals, and people paid to see them, even their own parents had to pay to see them.
Kate is a witch: I know what your going through, and your doing a wonderful job, Dog mom. My rosie got kennel cough about 2 days after I got her. I had just had my older dog Spike shots and they gave him the stuff for kennel cough. Guess what, Spike had a mild case of Kennel cough, caught it from Rosie, who had to be hospitalized, there was not enough time for Spike(he was not hospitalized) to build up enough immunity, not to catch it. Two sick dogs.
Amazing that Jon & Liz can handle 11 kids(G8 and Liz's 3) with no hired help.
I knew nothing about kennel cough until we cared for tiny Min Pin almost 4 years ago.
Long story short, animal activists closed down a privately owned pet shop in my area. The puppies not sold needed a full or part time home immediately. We wanted to help -- helping led to falling in love. Our little girl was less than 2 pounds. Ears had been docked almost at birth, probably without anesthesia. At 10 weeks old, she had traveled across 3 states from breeder, to broker, to pet store. (The info I received about puppy mill pets was devastating.)
She was spunky and adorable when she arrived... just perfect for an impulse purchase by some loving buyer.
Within a few days in our home she developed a horrible cough. Our vet educated me on kennel cough. Our two (at the time) family dogs would catch it from her, but they were older and healthier.
Puppy could not breathe. We sat up nights with the hot shower running to create steam. (The humidifier we bought for her was not effective.) We had to hold her head up so that her airways would not close when she relaxed. She fought really valiantly to live. I still cry when I think of her. We adopted our 3rd dog just to honor her short and brave life.
I contacted other families who had adopted some of the homeless puppies. They were all fighting the same battle.
Of the 9 little dogs involved....6 died.
We called her Nannie and her photo is my new profile picture.
Thank you everyone for your support of Kate Date$ a Jack$son. I assume you all will be mailing gift cards now? $100 increments, please. Hold on a minute and I will publish a list of the stores I faithfully require... Also, most gift cards have different pictures and styles to choose from, I will include a list of which ones are requireishly desired. And could you try not to wake me with your mailing envelopes?

What a sad story. I love thepro pic- so adorable.
I am SO against tail and ear docking- my cockapoo had her tailed docked and it still (nine years old!) seems a sensitive spot on her. We let her grow a faux-tail- looks so cute. I know they just use scissors and throw the parts away. That's another thing I wish I could change for the breeds this is done to (among other animals...)
Amazing that Jon & Liz can handle 11 kids(G8 and Liz's 3) with no hired help.
--------
Actually, we have no idea if they can handle them. They might all be having huge fights, and problems.
Once a Viewer, I agree. The 3 Min Pins we have now have natural ears. Cuter, I think. Their tails were already cut when we got them. I can't imagine why anyone ever thought these cosmetic surgeries were a good idea. What purpose?
I am posting up a storm this week, but soon school will start and I will not have time...
Watched the Avril Lavigne video. I have no words, but I did have a lot of tears. I cannot understand mistreatment of animals.
I teach in a school with many underserved, impoverished children. Abuse is everywhere, but poor kids have it worse. I know of some really awful CPS cases with my students. It's frustrating and I and angry, but I have to pull myself together and go back every day, because these kids need good educators.
My wish is for children to feel safe, loved, and cherished, and for animals to be treated humanely.
Oh Dmasy, I'm so sorry about poor little Nannie.
Kennel cough is horrible.
When we adopted our sweetheart bassett/coonhound, kennel cough/Pneumonia was making it's way throughout the entire shelter.
Even though Cocoa was treated with antibiotics, the amount of phlegm that came out of that poor little creature was frightening.
May dear sweet Nannie rest in peace.

Oh Dmasy, I'm crying. Kennel cough is so horrible. I know your Nannie is at peace and she knew LOVE in her short life!!!
I've been getting five hours of broken sleep every night until just recently because a 7 pound dog doesn't have a big bladder and she would wake up coughing that horrible cough. I also sat in a steamy bathroom with her, helping her breathe. That's when I really fell in love with her. I prayed constantly she'd be ok.
Now she's feeling so much better that we're being treated to her loud bark and funny way of running and bouncing, like she's part rabbit. I'm so thankful. Two rounds of antibiotics and we still have a few days to go, but our fur babies are so worth it.
Rest in peace, Nannie. She was adorable.
Dmasy, I loved your Bed and Breakfast production notes! Funny!
However, I am appalled that you forgot to mention that all instructions for the guests would be on Post-it notes attached to walls, light switches, mirrors and cabinet doors. They really need to know about those. Really.
You know, stuff like "place black plastic garbage bag on counter before using anything with sugar", "it's OK to walk on counters barefoot or sit on countertop." "Call me in to take pictures of your first potty with us".

Once a Viewer 100 - tail docking is still necessary in some breeds because of the terrain they work in. Aussie tails get horribly tangled in thick brush. I understand that the WORKING sporting dogs that don't have docks injure their tails easily. However, most animals being docked aren't working. I understand that the docking is a distinguishing breed characteristic. I understand that it's done at 2-3 days and the pups don't seem bothered by it. But I also know that most dogs don't exhibit physical pain. I also know that the tail is an extension of the spine, and in cases of too short of a dock, the dog can have incontinence and other issues. I'm really on the fence with it. I don't like it but I understand it. My younger aussie is docked. My Old Dog aussie (who sadly passed away 15 mos ago when her body finally collapsed) was a rescue with a full, beautiful tail. (That did tangle when we tracked). If I get another aussie it'll probably be a rescue and I'll probably look again for the full tail.
Ears are a different matter as they're cosmetic only. Also, they're not done until 14 wks when the nervous system is far more advanced. I hate cropped ears. :-(
And for the record, my screen name came from my old dogs. I have beagle mixes (boxer?) now, sister littermates that are incredibly adorable, which is what has kept them alive through their first 21 mos of life. :-) Also an aussie that lives with my ex that I still get to see, because we put our pets first. He kept two dogs and the cats, I took the 3rd, but mine stayed with him during the day all week and over night a couple times so he could see her frequently. It was hard seeing him sometimes at first but it was more important that the pets not suffer from our human mistakes. If only Kate could do that. :-(
You guys are on a roll tonight! Mama Mia, you might make me cry :)

Yes, in a working animal if it's necessary, I suppose, but I'm sure they feel pain....I used to have to watch baby boys be circumcised without any anesthetic and believe me, they felt it!! The mothers were lied to if their child cried. Now numbing agents are used, and that's a whole other issue for debate. But senseless maiming of animals is very cruel IMO.
That's a very good example of you & your ex not letting the animals (or yourselves)suffer from your break-up (I'm sorry) Kate could certainly learn from you.
Oh admin, I actually looked at a pink case but for now have a black otter box!
I am enjoying the dog stories, my 11 yo baby is a rescue, she came off of death row and is the light of my life!

SO FUNNY - from the golden retriever live puppy cam! Exactly what I've been thinking all along.
Looks like Kate & Jamie are out on the prowl tonght, a "friend" let them out and even took a hooker picture for them. Since she has no other friends, guess she had to pay someone to watch 11, count 'em, 11 children. Hope the babes have a swell time out tonight, as we all know it's all about Kate's FUN. I would think hese kids are pretty tired of each other by now, given how little they have done all week.
Kate could certainly learn from you. 118
Schmoopy could learn from SO MANY PEOPLE, but no one knows how to teach her.
I wonder if the kids cried and begged them not to go like last time. I wish they would just come out and admit that both of them can't stand these burdensome kids.
This clip is hilarious. I think Russell from survivor would be a great match for Kate Is he married? Oh, that's right Kate likes married men.
how about Russell Brand? he's single now!
Wow, so one friend will mange the 11 kids? Who is this friend; did Mrs Smith 'drop by?'
Kate and Jamie have similar colored ( sort of) outfits on. Both posing to the side- did Kate teach Jamie this? Look a bit skanky to me, but not as bad as the tube top dress. Wonder if there will be any toe-licking tonight? Ugh.
Kate's dining room is nice- I guess they don't use it much...they really did not NEED that house.
All I'll say is doesn't Jamie own a skirt or dress?
And the babysitting "friend" is probably either Ashley or her mother, Carla.
I can guarantee you it's not a friend...she is called a BABYSITTER.
OK, I just watched the video and it made me cry so I went over and gave my bully a big hug. I was rewarded with him raising that big old block head of his and hitting me in the nose giving me a bloody nose!
@XXXXXX I don't have a publicist. Never have. Not sure where you got that??!
Raise your hand if you believe this!

how about Russell Brand? he's single now!
*************
Not a good pick-Her Iphone might not be safe around him.
Kate's hair is getting worse. No wonder Kimmel made that comment about finding a new hair stylist. Why is Jamie wearing casual white shorts? She's worn that outfit before.
I like Kate's dress. At least it isn't one of those tube tops she's been flaunting lately.
Bad storms here. It looks like Armageddon out there.
Problem is there are kids now and they come first and you aren't going to be able to do everything you once did when you want to do it. Don't like that don't have kids.
********************************************
So much flip-flopping here. First, you said if young parents never took their kids to loud, violent movies they would never get out of the house.
Now you say the kids come first. ?
What is your stance here?
So Kate says she doesn't have a publicist and never has....hmmm...btw looks like she hasn't been to NYC lately...she's got a dual theme going on tonight...SKUNK and SKANK (look Kate...u didn't have to change shoes for that look..only one letter! Lol
Jon's always been able to handle the kids with little muss or fuss. He took care of them on w/e's while KK was working her "double shifts" at the dialysis center when the tups were little. He took care of them when she was on her books and boobyguard tours. KK always dismissed that because "he has help" -- with the housekeeping and cooking. Ironic, since she always complained bitterly about having to do it "all alone", when she actually had plenty of help. Jon's parenting was never perfect (Is anyone's?), but he certainly managed to entertain, care for, discipline and interact with his kids without complaint.
No publicist? Well there's a shocker!!!
Confused, I clearly said you aren't going to be able to do EVERYTHING once you have kids not that you have to shut yourself up like a hermit. Further I never said I agree with taking kids to the movies but rather I don't judge private people who do. You're Susan aren't you who loves to twist and turn and overall seem like a very unhappy person who clearly has a personal problem with someone on a BLOG they don't know. I wish happiness on you and a hobby.
Never had a publicist? I'm sure Julie Carson May will be happy to hear that. Just what does Kate think her PR rep is and what does she think the PR reps job entails? Katie, Katie, Katie, let's give credit where credit is due. Without a publicist you would have never had those glowing articles in People, etc. She really is an ungrateful bitch.
I noticed that Jamie is standing on her toes while posing with Kate. Did Kate teach her to do that?
Actually, we have no idea if they can handle them. They might all be having huge fights, and problems.
-----------------
I think we'd know. The kids would complain to Kate that the other three children are being mean, fighting, and beating up on them, and Kate would let it leak to the media that Liz can't control her children.
Well, there goes our power!
Was Julie ever officially listed as her pr?
She too has gone the way of not-a-fill in the blank.
Well guess what Kate you're not-a mother and certainly not-a star.

What did you do to her? LOL! She's picking apart everything you say at every chance she gets! She's more than just "confused." She's really bitter about something.
PR = public relations
publicist = a person who publicates (sic and snark)
Kate chooses words very carefully even if she's not too sure what they mean. She does not, nor has she ever, publicate.
@readleelove I don't have a publicist. Never have. Not sure where you got that??! 34 minutes ago

Where did they get that you have a publicist!!!??? From YOU, you lying sack of shit.
And I quote: "These are people who absolutely love us and want to see us through to the end," Kate says of Neild and his family. "Of course, both of them travel with us at times, and we've spent holidays together, because, in this situation, your circle grows smaller and smaller, and it's very natural to become friends with your manager, your publicist, your security team ... they're the only people you have left. And now they're coming under fire."
liar liar pants on fire
I have been crazy busy getting one DS ready for college (sniff) and another DS his driver's permit (watch out fellow Central PAers!) and finishing up my summer to-do list... since I don't have a "girl" to do it for me ;)
However, I am NEVAH too busy to call Kate out for the shady liar that she is.
No ya'll I believe Kate she never had a publicist.
She probably doesn't know what that is or knows what it means.
Cause it's a mediocre job held by a mediocre person.
Kate is out with Jamie for "Girls Night" and she can't turn off the damn phone? She's tweeted 12 tweets in the last hour and is still tweeting away. If I were Jamie, I wouldn't be too happy. How much ruder can Kate get?
Anyone who wants to date her shouldn't be concerned she has 8 kids, they should be more concerned about her having an Iphone and twitter account.

Too bad her brain isn't a functioning part of her. If it were, she'd remember that she said she had a publicist.
Looks like Kate's girls are hanging lower tonight.
Guess she going to get a good dinner and foot licking in b4 bed.
http://img.ly/lgyc
Long day- Not commenting on the PSU fiasco other than so very disturbing on so many levels......
As for her highness(Krap)suddenly having Jamie come to her home at the same time she is fishing for a dating show, I find her so predictable. She and Jamie went on a dating venture in NY -toe licking, etc... basically a bunch of crap, that did not float.
In short, my guess is with this new announcement of a "dating show," she now needs a female companion for her "potential show" to go looking for men with (she can't take Steve on a date), so she now needs a female companion to be on her "dating show." It is very transparent, she is shoving Jamie down our throats with pictures, twitter, etc..
Kate is all about herself, so somehow she has lured Jamie back (and I do think she is a doormat) with promises/incentives - who knows of what with her "new dating show." She is using Jamie to promote her show. They are going out tonight- much like NY dating scene.
Krap is transparent, a user, and if Jamie goes along with Kate's insanity, she deserves what she gets. There will be no show. But I am sure Kate is feeding her crap, how she will be on the show, etc.. in order to meet her own needs. More of Kate using Jamie to promote a show that will never happen. Jamie needs to talk to Beth and Jodie, but somehow, I think Jamie believes she is going to be on some dating show with Kate. The timing is too coincidental, and apparently Jamie is down for being on TV with Kate, although it will never happen. They may actually deserve each other.
wayward said... 144
You hit the nail on the head! : )
Isn't Jamie quite a contrast to Beth and Jodi? Class.
why doesn't Kate wear a strapless bra with her 'low girls?' they are almost at her elbows!
JCM is technically her manager, so I guess Kate doesn't consider her a "publicist". Kate may not have a publicist now, but she can't say she NEVER had one. This woman was the publicist for "Multiple Blessings":
Karen Campbell is an award-winning public relations specialist with 14 years of experience in the publishing industry. She has successfully worked on publicity campaigns for 14 New York Times bestsellers and worked with top-selling authors such as Kate Gosselin, Karen Kingsbury, Lee Strobel, Philip Yancey, John Ortberg, Rob Bell, Shane Claiborne, etc. In 2009, Karen was awarded the WMPRSA Gold PRoof Award for the publicity campaign for “Multiple Blessings” by Jon and Kate Gosselin with Beth Carson.

I'm still trying to figure out how one twitters with their hand in an ice bucket.
THANK GOD SHE IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL : ) Oh the drama....Really Kate, you got a burn for God's sakes. The NPD is killing me.
This whole Penn State thing. At the end of the day, Sandusky was the pedophile and criminal who molested the boys. All of those in a position to put an end to Sandusky's abuse of kids, Paterno included, failed. If Paterno had followed up on this with law enforcement, called a news conference, revealed what he knew, he could have prevented more boys from being victims, and he could have come out of this mess being hailed as a hero. He didn't, and that's the reason the statue was removed and why there is so much anger toward him. He WAS Penn State, but his allegiance to the school was greater than his concern for these young boys. That's tragic.
One can blame the media, blame the college police, blame the Nittany Lion mascot. Passing the buck isn't going to cut it in this fiasco.

Oh exactly what i think! And then I get the pathetic image of these two aging babes out on the town sonewhere not far from the Kompound, Thursday night, huggin two barstools, and bff Jamie gets to watch Kate twat away, and away, and away. Enjoying the vacay J? Funny how Kate does not need Officer Escort to ind her way to a bar.
I think Old Scrotum Legs aka Kate Gosselin picked a nice looking dress to wear but that hair! It reminds me of those cheap wigs that come as part of a Halloween costume. Jamie a wedge, the simplest tool known to man and she's Kate's biotch.
Maybe the girls are in a limo headed to NY for dinner with Jason. Passenger time to be on twitter. They got ready really early -- time for the travel. Maybe?
Kate told Ted Gibson on twitter that the world sure is worked up about her dating show news. The whole world, Kate? She's delusional. And she is LOVING all of this speculation. Pretty quiet today, though. Only a one-day story I hope.
Kate has no idea what a Publicist is so doesnt even know if she has/had one. JCM is a talent manager so depending on what that tweeter meant when referring to her having a good publicist, he/she could have been referring to whoever is doing whatever is being done to get her name out there about some stupid dating show...
Kate can spend as much time as she wants on the cover of the tabloids, or on internet rags mags...but it doesnt pay the bills...
I too would like to know the connection tho to the Rock n Rock marathons. When she went to LA someone said her new BBB was comped by the RnR Marathon. Does anyone remember that?
Now articles are coming out about Jimmy Kimmel's spoof. The video on Youtube has over 24,000 views. What network would even think about picking up the show when it's obvious that most people think it's hilarious that Kate would even think about having a dating show?
When Ted Gibson tweeted that he heard the news, Kate in her usual double-speak coded Katese tweeted:
Ted Gibson@tedgibson
@Kateplusmy8 I just heard the news #major #fun xo
Kate Gosselin@Kateplusmy8
@tedgibson lol.News without news so is it news? :)Hmmm..But whichever,the world sure is all worked up about it!:) (sigh) what's new,ya know?
Kate, the world has other things to be worked up, least of which is not you.

Oh Kate. The world or at least this country is worked up about a tragic shooting last week and a terrible tragedy in that several young boys were molested under the watch of educators we used to trust. Among some of the other major news stories that have nothing to do with her. On a blog that is about YOU there are even more posts about these other things going on than you, lol.
Kate's Friends:
Jamie (paid helper, at least on RV trip)
Steve ( paid)
Deanna ( paid make up person)
Ted and Jason ( paid) hair
Sad when the only people you have in your life, you have to pay them in order to see them.
Sherry Baby she says her agenda is to call us out on our B.S. Private people just doing for the most park lighthearted snarking on a celeb blog. Personally I find this stalker of ours to be creepy and obsessive.

She also would have to pay him support instead which she wouldn't like. I always wondered if Jon would get control of the kids' money (to use for their care)

SO FUNNY - from the golden retriever live puppy cam! Exactly what I've been thinking all along.
***********
I cannot remember who originally posted the link to the puppy cam...but thank you so much! It has become such a fixture for us, that we haven't watched TV in over a week. I am so excited. We live within 60 miles of the pups and have made arrangements to visit them on Saturday to Puppy Pet!! Warrior Canine Companion certainly has my support.
I forgot to add these two tweets which followed the above conversation between Ted and Kate:
Ted Gibson@tedgibson
@Kateplusmy8 LOL dang you have to call me xo
Kate Gosselin@Kateplusmy8
@tedgibson I'll see you soon.............. ;)
So she be going to NYC soon and she has the nerve to say she has no "alone" time.
So in the matter of a few weeks she got a nice weekend trip to Chicago, a night out on the town with Jamie and lots of time with her, and now a nice little gaunt to NYC to be pampered? Oh not to mention all of Jon's visitation weekends mixed in.
Poor thing, never any me time.
I might have to change my name to Old Scrotum Legs! LOL over here :0

She's tweeting Ted & Jason she need to get her dinner at O&F and weave fixed so it's okay.
A friend rescued us
&&&&
I find her caption that they were "rescued" so MEAN and not to mention hurtful. What if the kids saw that?
She is a mean, hateful mother. Why can't either of these women enjoy being with their children? They deserve each other.
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8
@tedgibson ohhhhh F&O... Got it! Yes.... Soon my dear, very soon...

She & Jamie are probably on their way their. I wonder if Steve went along with them.
What am I saying of course he did why wouldn't he.
Whoops....I meant Warrior Canine Connection. The website is: http://explore.org/#!/live-cams/player/service-puppy-cam
Someone up post said that the people in Colo were complaining the Amer Red Cross was not helping them. This I know is not entirely true. The Amer Red Cross is stretched so thin, more so with the homeless, the fires, tornadoes. But when you all donate on the 800 phone #, you must specify your location, you want the money to go to your hometown, say that. When you write a check, put your location on the Top Line.......American Red Cross in Berks Cty, PA., where ever you live, specify, I believe you can do that with the Salvation Army also, specify your town, your location.
Just tonight we are experiencing severe storms, lightening, rain, wind. Holding my breath at times, hoping the roof doesn't blow off. Mother Nature has been a challenge these past few years and with all of the unemployed, homeless shelters filled, it is all very sad.
Have to end with a bit of slapping Kate around, don't I? I hope she gets the show and that is it, she is over. Steve probably arranged all of this when he put her on the Tweeting and her blog. I kind of knew this would be her waterloo, the bachelorette.

Noooo...we need to save the name for Kate, we'll talk in code like she does and refer to her as OSL. ;)
Kate must be full of box o-wine tonight. Going out to party, geez, she is not too tired tonight is she after all her & Jaime were taking care of 11 count them 11 kids, not to mention the not hired help. She says she does not have a PR(since when?)Or according to Kate never did. And I see Kate is getting ready to run off to NYC for hair. So will Kate leave for NYC friday or will Jaime go with her or will Kate go after Jaime & kids leave? Maybe this going out tonight is cause Jaime is leaving tomorrow. Then Kate will dump the kids on Jon or wait till monday and dump kids on the not hired help.
Wayward GREAT CATCH.
Also Kate I have no idea why you think it's normal for your circle to grow smaller once you are famous. While it's true there may be only a few people you truly trust, there is no reason whatsoever you cannot continue all the friendships you had before this all happened.
Who knows, maybe Kate and Jamie are going to NY to "film" for the dating show that will never happen. With Steve as the camera man. They are all that pathetic.
Wouldn't put anything past Kate. More Kate Hyperbole to try to pretend/promote a show that will never happen. Her frantic twittering is very obvious. LOOK AT ME!!
Sherry Baby she says her agenda is to call us out on our B.S. Private people just doing for the most park lighthearted snarking on a celeb blog. Personally I find this stalker of ours to be creepy and obsessive.

They have no other place to go. The pro-Kate blogs have been shut down. I guess it's tough when you are obsessed with someone to the point of fanaticism and have no place to torment the non-fans. You have to find a playground somewhere. Some land here.
I'm beginning to think that the obsessive fans are just as obnoxious as Kate, if that's possible.
One just tweeted that Kate should run with her in St. Petersburg, Florida, in February. Kate said she'd love to, a break from winter would be great. Fan tweeted back...
r3boz
@Kateplusmy8 it sure would! We'll stay n touch!
These fans think that they are Kate's best friends, that Kate really cares about them and that she'd hang out with them. Kate doesn't know them, where they come from, who they are, or what their motives are. Is she not aware of the dangers of stalking, or doesn't she care because these fans are the only thing she has left?
Then there's Milo! :)

I know so sad Kate never gets a vacation or me time.
She never ever spend money on herself she never treats herself.
It's such a rare occasion and when she does it's for the kids sake.
So why do us haters give her a break I mean it's not like she deserves it.-(anark)
I have to question how much she really cares about Jamie if all she is doing is turning to her iphone. The iphone is the last thing on my mind when I'm out with friends or family. To the point where sometimes I'm like wait, where is my phone again?
"News without news so is it news"is Katespeak for "I put the word out that I want a show (news), but the networks aren't biting (without news), so I don't have a show (so is it news)". She thinks she's so clever, doesn't she? Funny how Ted Gibson and Jason don't seem to initiate contact with her, but now that Ted thinks she's going to be back on TV, he is all over her. They have been stringing along her hair-care discount in the hopes that she'll end up back on TV and they can get some publicity off her. How many years of discounts will she get from them before they realize she's a dud? I get the feeling that even with her big discount, she's having a hard time coming up with the cash for her NYC trips. She's overdue for a touch-up, so now she's got a balding-fried-skunk look going on. **shudder**
Also Kate I have no idea why you think it's normal for your circle to grow smaller once you are famous.
_________________
I guess it is normal for the circle to grow smaller when you burn bridges and trample upon the "little people" on your way up to the top. The friends that you had are worthless. They can give you nothing, and so you cast them aside. Only those you can use to further you career are the ones that you keep. Those are the ones she mentioned.
Kate tweeted: But whichever,the world sure is all worked up about it!:) (sigh) what's new,ya know?

The WORLD? This is the height of an inflated ego. So funny, and yet so pathetic. It's sad, really. She doesn't get that the world does not look to her for inspiration or survival.
Westbrooke,
Thank you for the links to John Ziegler! It's comforting to know that I am not the only one who sees how insanely the Joe Paterno aspect of this mess has been handled in the media, as well as by the people lacking in critical thinking skills who condemned him from day 1, despite the facts.
Signed,

Just a reminder-the DWTS cast will be announced tomorrow morning at 10:30am PDT(1:30pm EDT). Rumors are flying today about who's going to be cast, but Kate's name is not being mentioned. However, Pam Anderson's name is. The announcement is not going to be televised, but can be found at various sites(just google DWTS). It will also be announced on twitter:

Linda - I THINK it was me...in any case, I'm so jellus of you getting to go visit them! Do you know what time you'll be there, what you'll be wearing? Or hold up a sign saying hi! No, never mind - just enjoy those gorgeous babies and beautiful Holly. That site is so addictive - and I'm not even a dog person. Well, I'm an animal person in general, but I've never had the privilege of having a dog, only cats. (Still in the hellhole, desperately missing my kitties. Not sure why I'm torturing myself watching those puppies, but they're pretty irresistible.) HAVE FUN on Saturday!!
Simple can you please move on from that. There are plenty of places around the web you can debate that. I'm not stupid.
Kate is a twit thanks for the reminder about that! Maybe Kate is out celebrating tonight. Or maybe trying to drown her sorrows. Anyone's guest.
I set a post about this announcement to go automatically at 10am PST tomorrow so watch for it because I won't be around to remind you to move to the new thread! :)

Admin-You're welcome. I'll post the cast in the new thread as soon as I find out.
Kate's probably drowning her sorrows. I highly doubt she'll be included-but I'll feel better when it's been confirmed.
If she doesn't make it, she'll at least have 100,000 tweeties to console her. I do find it a bit odd that not one of them has even mentioned DWTS recently. They most likely believe that she won't be on either.
Of course, I'll also expect the sheeple to start dissing on some of those that do make it. If Pam Anderson is in, I can just hear them complaining "what, how dare they have Pam on-Kate should be there instead".
Kate's probably drowning her sorrows. I highly doubt she'll be included-but I'll feel better when it's been confirmed.

I don't think she'll be on the initial cast list but I think there's a good possibility she'll be a vote in. Let the games begin.
I don't know what all the hype is about a dating show. She never said she was waiting for three yrs for this. Paige retweeted it that SHE was. Kate just replied, I'm not sure of her exact words, I think sign me up or something along that line. Sorry no link, I have to hurry.
This is not personal to anyones comment, just how I saw how her tweet read.
BTW, you all make me laugh.
Njay yes. We said from the second this news came out it didn't add up and needed to be fact checked. We sure wanted more confirmation than People or E! seemed to want. Then when Kate started tweeting her cryptic will I won't I stuff it started to take off.
I'm surprised that K8's fans aren't tweeting their support for her on DWTS All-Stars twitter page. And yeah, maybe a little surprised that her "haterz" aren't weighing in, either. #holdingtheirfire?
