This week: Part One
Realitytvkids.com will be organizing an official summer "book club" screening of The Farmer's Wife. Watch Part 1 this week, Part 2 the week of August 12, and Part 3 (link to come) the week of August 19 and discuss it as you go with all the interesting folks here.
The Farmer's Wife first aired on PBS in 1998, a three part documentary, which was in essence a reality show, following three years in the life of Nebraska farmer Darrel Buschkoetter, and his strong but tender-hearted wife Juanita, along with their three sweet young girls.
The Farmer's Wife is one of the few great reality shows to ever grace our small screens. The Farmer's Wife had it all: tough, sincere characters, and a compelling story of hard work and perseverance in small-town America. Heartbreak, struggle, a marriage on the rocks, and the hope to keep a vanishing tradition alive drives this story.
Filmaker David Sutherland originally intended to profile several farming families in Nebraska. However as the project progressed, he became captivated with Juanita's story, and revamped the entire project to focus on her. Said Sutherland: "She spoke from her heart, and her love for her husband Darrel's dream touched me deeply."
Juanita's soft-spoken candor, and love and dedication to her family and to the farm, was a beautiful character study.
Most reality television out there has been better suited for the dust bin. Most stories need not and often should not be shared. Reality T.V. should just go away, especially shows that feature unprotected children. But once in a great while, a story comes along that should be told. Juanita's story does just that, capturing a moment in time in the late 1990's where a way of life in middle America was fading away, never to be the same again. Sutherland's series is both heartbreakingly tragic and inexplicably beautiful. Enjoy.

Dwindle...congratulations!! Raising my glass of wine to you and your Hunny Bunny.
What's Next, it is a mystery why Jon is letting Kate and her lawyer say he has been absolved of all future child support when the State of PA does not give parents that right. Child support is for the children, not the parents, so as gracious as Kate wants to appear to be, she can't say 'no thanks Jon, I'll do this awn my own." The courts can, and if they did, there has to be a good reason, such as a 50/50 custody???? Regardless, Jon has the internet and a spokesperson and could set the record straight anytime he chooses. The fact he never does leads me to believe they are in cahoots to stay relevant so the money keeps coming into their pot.
Rumpsinga...hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a dirty rumspringa. Didn't know that did ya? Hey at least I got prostrate right.

++++++++++++++++
How does Jon keeping quiet about this keep the money coming in? He's not tweeting about it, nor making statements. If this was all done for publicity, he'd keep it going. It could be that Jon just doesn't want to get involved in another media frenzy and give Kate the chance to make television appearances to set the record straight! He's gone that route before.
It's unlikely that he would have made a statement about her shopping a dating show as "ridiculous" if this whole thing was part of a grand scheme for them to make money.
I respectfully disagree that Jon is involved with Kate in anything except being a parent to
8 beautiful children. His relationship with her is simply to acknowledge that she is their mother and to show respect to her because of it.
Other than that, I think he's done with her.

Yes it does. Thankyou, friend. Foreclosure is a bad thing to anticipate. We seriously didnt expect it to resolve so quickly. Never in a million years. We are very blessed and lucky, we know that!

************************************
I second that fidosmommy. I think it finally just became very evident that Jon can split custody and have the kids more often, rather than struggling to pay Kate, who in turn would pay girls to watch the kids. It makes no sense for him to pay for his kids to be left with sitters all the time.
I wonder if this arrangement was proposed much earlier than this but Kate nixed it, wanting to see Jon struggle and squirm.
On a different note, 1406 comments!!! But according to the flock, it's only the same 7 people posting under different names, right? ;)

@kathygriffin reminds me of the @Kateplusmy8 wig that I didn't manufacture but got many laughs from... I think u wore 1 to 'be' me once? lol about 2 hours ago
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She is nothing, if not translucent. Let me translate: A Halloween wig of my busted reverse mullet was made, I didn't see a ding dang dime, everyone had a good laugh and someone else got paid.
Thumbing through People this afternoon, I see several pics of celebs on vacation with their children. Not the celebs' "helpers & friends" but the celebs. Guess Kate forgot to have Milo tweet them her supersecret beach location.
Nags Head would be a great location for the party. If you get tired of Kate, you can go to the Wright Brothers Monument or Jockey's Ridge. Just don't drink too much rumspringa, or you might try to climb a lighthouse. I'm not wearing a bikini though. The paps might try to take my picture.
Someone named "W" wrote on Kate's Coupon Cabin blogs comment section that "the book" is coming out tomorrow. Is someone playing games or did Robert write this? I'm getting tired of this whole thing.
Speaking of Kate's er, um, good deed, I was reading a magazine article in the newly painted reading room just this morning - just a little insert story of Brad Pitt with a couple of candid shots. Seems he was on the set of a movie in London recently chatting it up with some fans. One of them was a gal in a wheelchair. He not only spent some time talking with her, but kneeled down beside her so she could have her picture taken with him. See that's how a genuinely personable celebrity relates to people. Unlike the pseudo-celeb Ms Stick-Up-the-Ass. Got that, Kate?
Omg!!! Can she be any more transparent or desperate?!?!?! "aww...good memories for us...good tv for you, huh?". Translated: huh ? Huh? Right? Right? You miss us on tv right? You want us to get a new tv show right? Please please pease say u want us back on tv"
Kate forgot to have Milo tweet them her supersecret beach location.
***********************************
I don't think her location is so super secret, but more that nobody cares, i.e. she doesn't rate any attention
Sand,sun,family fun! We budgeted&did a beach vacay this yr..I surprised the kids&swept them away,w help of friends! http://img.ly/lJLc
---------
A normal person would read this as taking friends along to help on the trip....is this Katespeak for 'friends' paying for, or letting her use their beach house for free?

*********************************
I would assume it means both - she took "friends" (if you can call them that - they'r friends until they cN't help her anymore) and someone let her use their home or rental.
Fidosmommy,Jon and Kate only became a marketable brand when they announced their split. From day one, Kate was the struggling single mother and Jon was the cheating douche bag who doesn't pay a cent of child support. Both got paid to tell those sides of the story to the tabloids. Kate is not bankable without Jon, and I think that is why he is agreeable to playing the douche bag. Kate once said "I've always made more money then Jon but it goes into the same pot". I think they are sharing a pot today and it comes from him playing along to make her more newsworthy. That whole Sylvia Lafair debacle was suspicious. She is owed by Jon and Kate yet only sues Kate, wins, and then drops upon appeal. Claiming it was never about getting her fees paid, just to make a moral statement. Ahem. And now we have Robert Hoffman claiming he only cares about the kids and will be answering questions on how Kate fooled the world. If only she and the lawyers would let him. I am not buying what they are selling, I think it is all crap.

Ironically, that's where I was during the first Rumspringa party that I missed! Well, Kitty Hawk but went to Wright Brothers on a rainy day and of course the sand dunes at Jockey's Ridge!

cool! Thanks for letting us know :) I wish Donald Sutherland and the B family knew of all the recent viewers ! I can't wait for his new doc Middle School Moment about poverty/education/drop out rates etc & a girl who beat the odds ( sorry, repeating, but lost a page or two back)
Hey NCgirl-
I just got back from Ocracoke! Let's have the party there!
I've had kids in and out of my house ALL summer...(one kid moved back in after college grad, but is in and out all the time for job interviews...another kid came in between summer semesters for a bit, and another is in and out for college camps (fish and church)....I am seriously thinking about putting a revolving hotel door on the front of my house..lol...
saying all that, for the last week I have only had 3 kids in the house,and today have 2 kids in the house....
how in the HECK does Kate have time to constantly TWEET?? I'm lucky if I have time to go to the bathroom! (and the kids I have at home are ALL older than Kate's!)..
UGH!
(skimmed through all the tweets, congrats to Dwindle for the good news, and did I hear a mention of a party next week? lol) I'll bring the organic fluffernutter!
I agree mama Mia. Also, any bad press for Jon is always good press for Kate. Jon does not want his kids to have to downsize. I'm not buying any of this either,
How many years will it take before Kate realizes she will not be getting another reality show?

**************************
I guess not, no I really don't see her bashing the "haters" but I don't see her tweets to him...if she's not I take it back. Interesting that she is watching the Farmer's Wife though. I want to make some time to watch it myself. Didn't mean to stir anything up.
Ok, in addition to beach party, on August 15th we will also commemorate the 75th anniversary of the original TLC - The Lost Colony! Check out www.thelostcolony.org or their Facebook page for virtual backstage tour. Andy Griffith played Sir Walter Raleigh back in the 40s.
I say it last month when we were down for a long weekend. It is not to be missed if you go to the outer banks!
Dwindle, I haven't read all of the comments, only skimmed through them. However, I assume your hubby got the job. Congratulations!! That's terrific and I'm so happy for you and your family. God Bless!
localyokul-you didn't stir anything up. I just wanted to let you know that that sheeple is anything but nice. You don't see her nasty tweets to the haters on Kate's twitter, because she makes sure not to include Kate's name in them.
Sorry, if I came across too strong, didn't mean to and hope I didn't upset you.

I get all of these people mixed up. Is that the one who tweeted some of the most vile, disgusting degrading comments about incest, rape, using graphic language to other tweeters, as well as horrible, harassing tweets to and about Jon?
Is "I rarely visit 15 minutes" anything like my dOg changed the channel to TLC? ;)
In any case I'm glad we got a fan excited about something more worthwhile than Kate.
The reason lafair probably didn't sue Jon is I bet he settled any dispute with her privately like a grown man. No conspiracy there.

Thanks, Remona. I pretty much can identify some of the big six or eight sheeple, but I always get that one confused with another one who is equally disgusting!
Someone on Kate's Twitter is using the site to market her shoe designing business. It's actually funny...will be interesting to see if Kate jumps on it and hires this chippy to design a pair of shoes. I guess this would happen only if they are free.
Sheeple Herder, I love Ocracoke! So isolated and so much history! I have never stayed on the island, but will go over on the ferry and go to the beach with lifeguard, and go to the Park Service visitor center, and Albert Styrons General Store. They have RC Cola.and Moon Pies!
The non-virtual beach house we have is in Nags Head off Old Oregon Inlet road, so that is main location for party. I am planning optional virtual road top to Manteo to see The Lost Colony, so we can certainly have another optional virtual road trip to Ocracoke!
Hey, I finally got a GUY. No name, but he's a Christian Single, bald, not bad-looking, and I can view him and other local Christian singles online. I hope Stephanie doesn't grab him before I get a chance to read his profile.
There are those who think that some of us aren't playing with a full deck, but darn it, Kate really has some WEIRD fans who randomly pop up on there proclaiming their love. I mean these are really, really strange people, both male and female!
OK, let's try this again and this time I won't trashcan my comment.
Dwindle - Congrats to your hubs. Good, honest mechanics are worth their weight in gold.
"Rumpsinga" is what happenss when someone slips my bulldog some turkey at Thanksgiving. His butt starts a tootin' and you can hardly stand to be in the same room as him. I will now refer to it as "Rumpsinga".
Just because I haven't posted it lately - Ms Kreider is still boring. The drive-by baa-baas are also boring.
Dwindle, congratulations to Hunnybunny and his adoring wife! I had been gone all day so I read your AM post and got your good news post in the same reading time. Happy ending.
Hope you are celebrating this evening!
StopObsessing...and other trollls...I guess the sheep are getting frustrated as more and more learn the truth about their "hero". The truth hurts. Cant wait for that book.
Stop Obsessing -- you are the one with a non existent life, coming to a very successful non fan blog and raking someone over the coals because you hate her opinion of your darling, innocent Kate. You spout crap and lies about her in a vicious,nasty way. You are the only pathetic one I see around here. Go get a life and start your own blog since all the other fan sites are dead in the water.
Hey, nasty person who attacked Administrator. Please stay away from a friendly, entertaining and often informative site. We don't need your kind of scathing remarks.
Please don't spend your time trying to ruin ours.
Isn't that particular sheeple the one who has accused Jon, more than once, of molesting his daughters?
Admin -- IIRC, LaFair said in an interview around the time of the lawsuit that Jon had paid his part of the bill.
Sounds like this party we're having on the 15th is going to be bigger and better than the previous one. Can't wait! I'll even buy a bikini for the occasion. Think I could fit into one of KKs old ones? Maybe I can find one at those consignment shops she frequents, LOL.
Dwindle -- just read your good news. Tippin' the box in celebration of your family's good fortune! ;) Wishing Mr. Dwindle years of success in his new position.
(This is Remona)
All that stuff from trolls about Admin has been on here before. It's obvious that it's been saved so a quick c/p can be thrown up when a diversion is needed. It hasn't worked before, and is a waste of time to try it again.
Remona
Stop Obsessing/Truth/... Why don't you ask Kate to tell the truth? After all, she is so misunderstood and if you would just ask her the right questions she could "set the record straight" then we would all see the "real her".
Joy in Virginia- I know exactly where your Nags Head place is. And, we love the same same spots Ocracoke as you do! In fact, the Styron's store owners let us borrow some clam rakes this trip. If you ever get the chance to stay on the island you should do it! It's a great time!
Auntie Ann -- you are funny even when you are doing a typo. I think Rumpsinga is equally creative as Rumspringa!
Wayward -- I think you have one very smart new puppy.

I thought that when admin went fishing for trolls the last time, she caught a big one in the net. Did it mutate and reproduce before it was brought in and dumped?

A farming report -- our crops in central Illinois got some rain. Almost 3" in the last two days. A drink for some parched land. It is too late for the acres of corn, but our soy beans will have a chance to plump up.
My hubby will probably sleep a bit better tonight. He will be up early watching the weather channel tomorrow -- just like every other morning!
Sheeple are boring.
Hmmmmmmmmm..... I think Mr. Lites Out Man tuned up Milo's wheelchair because she's headin' to Florida!

Kids R packed & leave early 4 Universal Studios in Orlando...then off 2visit friends & extended family. Gnite all! :) 1 day ago
I apologize if someone already caught this, but this might be a clue to the hint dropping about knowing where Kate is. Isn't the lunch Kate is 'treating' the fans who were left SOL this weekend? Oooooooo I can only imagine! Secret emails, sworn secrecy, all in the name of avoiding the non-existent swarm of paps!
So are trolls.
I wouldn't call msgoody2shoes respectful at all, she's been harassing Jon since 2009.
Congrats Dwindle!! Happy for you and your hubby! Good luck in the future!!
Moose. I read about her diva behavior and demanding for freebies on the mommy blog on this blog!
Do you doubt that Kate behaves this way??? I have watched her for about 7 years and she has demonstrated all those characteristics and more over, over, and over!
She is the most entitled person I have ever known or known about! I for one believe the rumor!

Milo couldn't book the cruise because she couldn't get around on a ship, but she can do Universal?
I still think I'm right. Kate is in Florida, taking the twins on the cruise, meeting the sheeple for a pre-lunch cruise. The timing is too coincidental.
"Moose. I read about her diva behavior and demanding for freebies on the mommy blog on this blog!
Do you doubt that Kate behaves this way??? I have watched her for about 7 years and she has demonstrated all those characteristics and more over, over, and over!"
&&&&&&&&&&&
Of course I believe that Kate behaves this way, but I also read that that Kimberly said there were rumors of her grabbing freebies, playing the part of the diva. I wondered if there were ACTUAL reports, confirmations of her doing this, or if this was just a repeat of the "gossip" suggested on the mommy blog. Did anyone provide actual examples of what Kate did? There is no doubt in my mind that Kate pulled the entitlement routine. I didn't read any eyewitness reports what she actually did, and I was curious if anyone came forth to report what they saw.
Once a viewer....
Here's the link:

This is 1000 grams of bulk glycine for $23.99. 3/4 teaspoon is equivalent to 3 grams (1/4 tsp= 1 gram). I'm glad it's helping. I'm having better results after taking it for awhile. My sleep is much more consistent than it was and I am feeling much more rested in the morning.
Dwindle: congrats!
I had a shocker yesterday: my baby fish are not that baby anymore, one of those 6 females gave birth to 1 baby. I did not think any of them could , they are only about not yet an 1 inch long, a fully mature female is about 1 1/2- 2.5 inches long. Even the males are not even a inch yet. Maybe these are micro guppies. I gonna take a trip to a tropical fish store and ask questions. I'll let you know what they say.
For the Rumspringa drink... I think "Amish" and "apples". Apples = apple pie. So, how about apple cider, a bit of apple pie spice, and RUM! Perhaps blended with ice? Anyway, I'll try it out tomorrow and let you know.
Catching up on some comments. You guys are ridiculous with this rumspringa thing lol. I like the recipe. There needs to be a German element to it somehow too. Maybe drizzle the top with German chocolate syrup.
Wanted to comment on Juanita groveling with the creditor and how she completely downplayed it to Darrel. Oh he wasn't so bad! Yes Juanita, he was bad. Very bad. So much of life is how you perceive it, isn't it? You can think your situation is awful, go into the meeting thinking this is absolutely the most humiliating moment in my entire life I will never live this down, or you can go in with your head held high, do what you gotta do, and when it's done brush yourself off and think, well heck that wasn't as bad as I thought...next! David Sutherland must have been blown away as he was filming this realizing what he had discovered in this young woman named Juanita. The kind of heroine writers dream up in their heads was a real person.

Isn't CJ the only one who is still going on the cruise, or are their others? Milo never signed up for it, did she?

So are trolls.
Haha - yes, they are.
Maybe Mr. Dwindle should be invited to the party, if he doesn't have to get up too early for work the next day.
Speaking of the party, I was wondering if someone could send me half a walkie talkie (not sure which half) or a baby monitor or something like that so I can keep up with what you all are doing. I sure could use some Rumspringa here in the hellhole but I'll settle for following along with your adventures as you're going on...Please just try to give me a SPOILER alert before anyone starts talking about cats or kittens! :-(
I speculated some time back that Kate would be going to Florida for the cruise lunch. That is a great opportunity for milo, who again mentioned kids. Hers presumably. Yes cj is the only one left still going. Since she is nuts and even Kate must know it, I would think she wouldn't dare go back on her promise.
Now why would Jon go and open up his Twitter feed again? Makes him look indecisive and...unstable?
The Farmer's Wife was thought provoking and has stayed in my mind since I watched last week. Each 14 minute segment was a gem.
I think Jaunita was a complex person with an amazingly strong core. She seemed to be an awesome mother. She knew how to maximize every limited resource. Her work ethic was off the charts.
I think Darrel needed enormous amounts of approval and affection. He offered his life of work sacrifice as a trade for someone to say, "Good man...well done." He would never hear it from his dad. Validation from Jaunita became critical. I don't think she could have ever filled his wounded heart. (She would only be human if she used that need in a passive/aggressive way to "punish" him sometimes.)
I just keep thinking about that family and wishing PBS would give us an update on them. (Kate update -- ugh, not so much.)
Dmasy: I was wondering how your crops were doing. Thank goodness for the rain! No wonder Juanita had the girls pray for rain to stop or start depending on what was needed.
I agree Darrel was looking for validation his father never gave him- I wonder what his relationship with his mom was like. There were no scenes with the two of them talking iirc.
Yes, Juanita is an amazing woman. If Kate went back to the 90s and visited the Buschkoetters, would she learn any lessons? I don't see how anyone could to... about hard work, parenting, priorities, thankfulness..

ex-Nurse:
Thanks for the link. You're so kind.Looks like cocaine LOL. I have been doing better, thanks. I do feel slightly dizzy since starting this Glycine but maybe that's coincidental from the heat we've had...anyway a half-decent night of sleep is amazing. :)
I think the best people to tell the Jon and Kate story already did, and it was done here:
http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=140681e
This article by the editor of the Reading Eagle newspaper links back all the earlier stories they did, show how much grifting went on, how much free stuff they received, and how neither wanted to talk to this paper unless payment was on the table. And that is gist of this story. They love money, more than their children, and Jon was sick enough to claim he had angst about the kids not being paid when he put them out to every pedophile. Really Jon, that is your biggest concern, not getting paid?
As for Lafair, Admin, why did she say she was dropping her lawsuit against Kate to save the taxpayers thousands of dollars trying this case? Here in Canada it is the litigants who pay for civil matters, not the tax payers. So was she lying? People sue for money or for revenge,clearly Lafair didn't follow through to extract either from Kate, and I am sure the truth behind that tale doesn't make either party come out smelling like roses.
Re the farmers wife: admin, you asked a while back about leasing land. Not unusual in my area. My folks used to own a piece of land about eleven acres, they let local farmer plant it and did not charge him anything, out saved them money from having to hire a tractor to mow the field. It had been pasture. A friend in county I live now inherited family land, he does not farm but wants to keep the land, so he leases it to farmer for enough to pay tax on it. It is usually a year to year arrangement, and the ones I have personally known about have been handshake agreements. The farmer who used my folks land for years never had anything in writing from them, and he would give them a couple bushels of whatever he grew at harvest time. I know folks who do tree farming also, that takes decades so tree farmers own their land.
Re virtual party: husbands can come along, but they can only have beer to drink, and they have to go off as a group to do icky boy stuff. And they can drive us places. And they can walk any dogs that anyone brings along. And they can take out the trash when we are done, and roll the can to the corner. Anything I an forgetting?
Interesting info re : farming. I find it all fascinating being a city gal.(now suburban!)
Re: husbands. I suppose they could come, unless they snore or breathe loudly. We can give them each $5.00 for dinner- they are NOT coming into the kitchen. Oh, and they can make our AM coffee to directions, and gas up vehicles for homeward bound. They should know how to help us.

IS THIS REALLY ON TV?
Buddy (27)
Kate will NEVER give up believing she'll get a new show. She is so far gone by now, she can't find her way back. I predict that she will hang onto the house and private school (and the pool and the Audi and the leather couch) until she's bankrupt, because she will always believe that her next big job is just around the corner, and then she'll be back on top. She could lose it all and be on public assistance, and even then she'll still be trying to claw her way back. She really believes her own hype, and her few remaining fans are doing her a disservice by encouraging her delusions.
What does she think her talent is? What is unique abut her? Yes, she had sextuplets, but we're over that. What is her new "hook"? I think buying that huge house was her downfall. People could relate to Kate and Jon as struggling parents, but not the millionaire lifestyle and the nasty, entitled attitudes they both got. The economy has been tanking for a long time, people are struggling, and it's offensive to watch Kate take 8 kids, plus an entourage of helpers, on yet another lavish vacation that she doesn't appreciate. Most people with young kids struggle to find the cash to hire a babysitter and go to the movies. Who can relate to Kate pitching tantrums in Alaska or Australia or New Zealand? She was never grateful for all that she was given. And she won't give up the posh lifestyle up to make herself more relatable.

For the Rumspringa drink... I think "Amish" and "apples". Apples = apple pie. So, how about apple cider, a bit of apple pie spice, and RUM! Perhaps blended with ice? Anyway, I'll try it out tomorrow and let you know.

Put a splash of jagermeister in there, too!

we can also make one with organic box of wine.
I'm sure Kate won't mind if we borrow one of her for the party.
Re: husbands. I suppose they could come, unless they snore or breathe loudly. We can give them each $5.00 for dinner- they are NOT coming into the kitchen. Oh, and they can make our AM coffee to directions, and gas up vehicles for homeward bound. They should know how to help us.

Well, mine has to stay home...after all, SOMEONE has to watch the little money makers......he can only call me if one of the kids get sick. And I've left written instructions for the girls NOT to wear the pretty hair ties in the house...those are only for when we go somewhere!
Mama mia said...As for Lafair, Admin, why did she say she was dropping her lawsuit against Kate to save the taxpayers thousands of dollars trying this case? Here in Canada it is the litigants who pay for civil matters, not the tax payers. So was she lying? People sue for money or for revenge,clearly Lafair didn't follow through to extract either from Kate, and I am sure the truth behind that tale doesn't make either party come out smelling like roses.

LaFair: Third, I don’t want to be party to a proceeding that would undoubtedly require thousands of taxpayer dollars to be spent trying an appeal and providing extra security for it. We’ve all got more important things to do.

I watched The Farmers Wife when it originally aired and was so touched by it watched it again a few years later after getting it at the library.
Too many posts here to read, but here's an update on what became of Darrel and Juanita for those interested if you don't know.
A few years after filming, they did end up getting divorced. Both are remarried and happy. I recall seeing that all three girls went to or are currently in college.

I agree with you. I liked the show when they were struggling, and we saw the grocery shopping and day-to-day life dealing with the tups and twins etc.Apart from Kate's attitude, once they were rolling in freebies and trips the charm certainly wore off...I think Kate is making a mistake saying the main things the kids miss are trips and 'adventures.' That makes them sound privileged and not the family some of us once tuned into watch - at home! I know things have changed in so many ways, but you can't turn back the clock and expect audiences to be eager to see how the kids have grown, as Kate has said. That's not exciting- we all have kids in our lives who have grown! Hers are nothing out of the ordinary. I think the show would have run its course despite all the drama. As for Kate scouring the country for a date, it sounds very boring- will she never find one suitable or that show would be over too?
aggiemom, it is REALLY on TV. That article gives you a fair glimpse. Farting was featured as well as a swimming in a mud puddle contest and bobbing for raw pigs feet. It is jaw-dropping embarrassing.
I have to say, the family has a lot of self-confidence. I just don't know where it comes from!

OK I am trying to be brave here, but I could use some positive thoughts. HunnyBunny has been called in for a THIRD interview at the same place. I mean, by the time ya get to a 3rd interview, arent ya pretty much cookin' with gas?
Also, one of the owners of the old place called last night with ANOTHER job lead. It's been over a week. Dont most bosses kind of forget your name by this time? These guys keep calling here with some solid job leads. Weird.
So if you have a minute and the inclination, some postive thoughts would be much appreciated. HunnyBunny is 51 years old, after 23 years at the same place this isnt easy at all.
:) thanks guys.

Dwindle - that is GREAT news! Keep us posted.
Well for once I agree with something KT said. Those DVD's were JK+8 and that was good TV. K+8 was TV was horrible, just absolutely unbearable to watch. I can't believe that anyone would give her a new show. If they do, it will be along the lines of a big guffaw.
I see that Honey Boo Boo is trending number 1 on yahoo (or was this morning). TLC does know how to get the buzz going.

I am speechless. Surely to pete the ratings were horrible. Who are these people, the Kardashian's poor kinfolk?
Guess I'm boring, the only shows I enjoy watching are Chopped, Top Chef, Restaurant Impossible and Everybody Loves Raymond!
:)
I REALLY enjoyed Admin's recommendation of The Farmer's Wife. Juanita has more class than any Bravo housewife, a Kardahsian or Kate G!
My dear husband reminded me this a.m. that we can disapprove of all these silly TLC reality shows all we want, but the "stars" are laughing all the way to the bank. How about the Bates family having a TLC show and they don't even have a television? What does this tell us?
As we have all learned, it's easier to see a family struggling on tv rather than watching expensive vacations and shopping trips. Kind of like "rubbing our noses in it." No one enjoys that feeling except the people benefitting from the freebies. We were all duped by the Gosselins. It didn't feel good, did it? It will not happen again on my tv.
Once a Viewer,
I remember hearing, several months before the cancellation, that TLC was having a hard time coming up with ideas for new shows. I think they wanted to make Kate's lifestyle more relatable, and knew that the constant trips and "adventures" just wasn't doing it. Kate, of course, would have wanted more, more, more, which would just make the situation worse. They really didn't have a choice but to just let the show go. And now kate is shooting herself in the foot by whining about how much the kids miss the trips and adventures. Anyone who might consider doing a show with her then knows that she will demand constant trips and adventures (expensive), and also know that that is a formula that didn't bring in viewers before. Kate isn't open to doing something new-even her mush-desired dating show involves travel.
I watched the Extra interview (that didn't air, HA. That's happening with more and more of her interviews lately), and wow--she sure does love the word "like". Add that to all the "umm"s and she's just a train wreck. I found it annoying that she was bragging about making all her own bread. She measures ingredients into a bread maker and pushes a button, for goodness' sake. It's not like she's covered in flour, kneading dough every day.

It costs taxpayers every time a case goes into court. The Casey Anthony trial costs taxpayers more than half a million dollars. It would cost less for a civil case but judges, clerks and courtrooms still cost money. She is right to think about the taxpayers. She also said this:
If she pursues the case she would feed the media beast and “would also feed Ms. Gosselin’s need for media attention.”
LaFair was right to drop the lawsuit before she ended up spending thousands herself to win. It's just not worth it.

localyokul--I apologize for my reaction to your original statement about MsGoody. I shouldn't have said anything.
You did nothing wrong and have nothing to feel sorry about.
I am very sorry for bringing it up.
Since she is nuts and even Kate must know it, I would think she wouldn't dare go back on her promise.
+++++++++++++
As far as I know, Kate didn't promise to meet for lunch. If I recall, the statement was that she would like to try to meet up in Ft. Lauderdale before the cruise. That left her an out, if she wanted it. I don't think she's going to Lauderdale just for lunch with one person (and Milo). I think she's going on the cruise (but I've been wrong before).

Dmasy, who is in your pic? Is that Mr Dmasy? Is he measuring for a pig roast? Can I come?
LaFair had already won her case but was on appeal. She had won $10,000 and that is a whole lot of money for that neck of the woods. I don't think she makes that kind of money very often especially in this economy!
So my theory is that TLC paid her off under the table! The show was still on, all of the publicity about the case was making Kate look really bad( if that's possible) and the whole mess was going to continue while on appeal!
Yes, I do think TLC was, is, capable of paying LaFair off! She got paid and the story went away! I think TLC had their hands on every legal aspect of Jon and Kate's life for the good of the show!
That's the only reason that LaFiar would walk away from that kind of money , otherwise she wouldn't have sued in the first place! All of this is of course allegedly!
She's on twitter silence, usually means she's traveling somewhere. Quite possible she, Skeeve and the twins are crusin' while her paid friends take the tups home. If so, that travel agency are the fools for writing a paid trip for 4 into that contract, because we know she's NOT paying for this herself.
Eh, I really don't think 10,000 bucks is a lot to LaFair. She even said herself it was really the principle of it.
I don't think she was bought off, I really think when she crunched the numbers she realized she would be spending far too much time and money to try to fight Kate than was worth it to her.
That is the thing with people like Kate, she will never, ever back down. So when you go into something with her if you actually want to see it through to the end you have to be prepared for the longest haul of your life. LaFair realized that. Most normal, healthy people would then conclude that their time and money could be better spend elsewhere and back off.
Oh Piffle! I am sending a stretch limo for you, one withOUT torn seats. HunnyBunny will drive but we will REQUIRE another mandatory volunteer to carry your purse, AmyF. Anyone volunteering themselves or a loved one, to be AmyF's boobyguard and purseboy?
Dwindle, that is, indeed, Mr. Dmasy. He is filling the planter boxes on he new 24-row planter. Roundup Ready corn.
You guess was not too far off -- his is our primary cook and smokes meat with a wood pellet grill. He is really an outdoor chef! His bbq ribs are just to die for. An idea -- I should bring a few racks to the party!
I was a vegetarian when we married. I still only nibble at meat, but sometimes the scent of his cooking is enough to tempt me.

-------------------------------
I watched the video too. I found it very hard to listen to her and to watch her.
Beyond the obvious "ums" and "likes" through out her interview, I could not get over the immaturity she exhibits with her word emphasis and facial/eye expressions.
Her speech inflection and tone do not reflect a mature professional woman. And when adding all of her eye and facial expressions, she appears more immature than my own teenaged kids and their friends.
It is obvious Kate has not worked on her communication skills even though she continues to express how much she thinks she belongs on tv. She has been unemployeed for a year and has done nothing to work hard on improving her speech and communication skills.
I know teenagers (including my own) who are working hard on these skills and know the importance of why they need to work hard on them. They are necessary in life especially for college, internships, and job interviews. I would be embarrassed if one of my older teens spoke and used facial expressions like Kate in an interview, no matter how casual the conversation. Luckily, I can say that my teenage children show more maturity than Kate did in that Extra interview.
She had won $10,000 and that is a whole lot of money for that neck of the woods. I don't think she makes that kind of money very often especially in this economy!
++++++++++++++
For someone who sponsors seminars, retreats, events, programs and is a personal counselor, as well as a keynote speaker, that's a drop in the bucket. Speakers command at least that much or more. I don't think that she was in dire straits financially that she had to be paid off by anyone. She won her case, it went to appeal, and I agree with admin in that she saw that it was a waste of time and money to keep it going. It's a lengthy process and her attorney's fees could be more than her initial win. She knew enough to end it, and she did. I don't think that TLC, at that point, would help Kate out to settle it.
That was last April, and TLC was just about over and done with her. They knew it and Kate knew it. I doubt that they would continue to pump more money into a lost cause. They didn't care.
OT: When I posted @97 a bit ago, I noticed that we were at #1492. I wanted to grab a Rumspringa and have a toast to old Chris Columbus!
Admin. I thought she had already won her case. So she had already put in the money and the time! I dont think going through the appeals process was going to cost her much, wasn't that Kate's expense to fight the appeal. And also LaFair could have dropped it all if she had lost the appeal! I don't know it's just not logical to me!
And $10,000 is a lot of money!!! We both live in LA and here that kind of money will buy you a cup of coffee and a muffin!! Lol But that's a lot of money for many people!
Talking about a lot of money, one of my favorite shows on TV is House Hunters! I saw a guy buy a 2000 s.f. for $40,000 in Atlanta! My car cost more than that! Oh, and the house was nice! It had wooden doors, granite counter tops, the house was new! People who live in other states are so lucky! I want to move but don't want to leave my kids! Maybe I can convince all to move !!Yea, right!!

__________________________________________
Wow! Haven't watched House Hunters much lately since I learned a lot of it is faked, (used to never miss it) but never did I see a house go for that low a price! Lowest I saw once was a lovely place in the Dominican Republic (HH International) that went for $58,000. I wanted to move immediately. LOL Since then the houses in the Dominican Republic aren't that cheap anymore. I wouldn't go by that price and think houses in other states are that cheap.
Admin said: It costs taxpayers every time a case goes into court. The Casey Anthony trial costs taxpayers more than half a million dollars. It would cost less for a civil case but judges, clerks and courtrooms still cost money. She is right to think about the taxpayers.
????? Casey Anthony was on trial for murder. That is not a civil lawsuit, so the cost of her murder trial has no bearing here. However, she is being sued currently in civil court by Z. Gonzales at zero cost to the tax payer. That is relevant to this discussion. We do not pay for restorative justice as tax payers. Civil lawsuit costs are born by the litigants involved and in this case, Sylvia Lafair paid her share, and Kate paid her share, and the tax payers paid nada. So again I ask why we let Lafair claim she dropped her suit to save the tax payers money?
Tomatoes, we are big fans of House Hunters and HH International.
I am always surprised by the price of a CA home. So small for so much money. You are invited to move your family to Illinois. For a million dollars the house will probably come with acres of land!
For another comparison, a 650 sq. ft. apartment in Paris is about the same million!
Lets Throw Tomatoes, I agree with your skepticism. It is time I moved on, do you know of another blog that isn't Jon or Kate friendly but likes to discuss their public stunts?
Luke's Mom (108)
I have teenagers, too, and I agree with you--I would be embarrassed if they spoke like Kate does. She spends most of her time with M&C, so maybe that's where she's getting the speech patterns--from tweens.
It was aggravating how she presented everything she's doing (Twitter, baking bread) as such a big deal. Patting herself on the back and acting like these are big accomplishments. She must be getting desperate for thinks to talk about. And her speaking skills have deteriorated since the show ended. Too much isolation from everyone but the kids.
I also doubt that TLC paid the legal bills for the Sylvia LaFair debacle. I remember hearing her, more than once, complain about her "Major, major,major legal debt". She supposedly hired a whole team of lawyers for the divorce, plus has been in court over custody many times, plus all the Cease and Desist orders, plus the LaFair situation. That takes a lot of cash. I don't doubt at all that she's paid a huge chunk of money for legal expenses. She was prepared to spend far more than the original 10K just to "win". LaFair was going to have to pay far more than she would ever get, so she let it go. And Kate didn't know how soon she would be out of a job, so she thought that she'd have plenty of money for the legal fight. It was all about winning to Kate. I bet she wishes she had all that money back. Too late!
LaLaLand . . .
I agree with you! Isn't it interesting that the Bates family doesn't watch tv, but they're willing to be paid to be on tv for other families to watch? What an odd message to send to your kids. We don't watch it, but we'll be on it (because we're being paid VERY well to do so)!
Dwindle - so glad to hear about your husband's new job! Pat him on the back for us.
Jut for grins, I looked at both Jon and Kate's Wikipedia page. I had to laugh when I saw Kate's page referred to her as a "..an American former television personality"; while Jon's page refers to him as "..an American television personality".
Kate's a FORMER personality, Jon is not (according to Wikipedia anyway). It brought a little smile to my face today! :)
Wow, she's really pushing the Coffee Mate lately. Who else thinks she reeallllyyy wants a CM endorsement deal? Or perhaps she gets paid for "mentioning" them on Twitter a lot. I've hears that some celebs can make money by doing that. Nt that she's a celeb, but she still THINKS she's one.
Quite possible she, Skeeve and the twins are crusin' while her paid friends take the tups home.
&&&&&&&&
I hope so, because I said a few days ago that the plan was to have someone take the tups home while she cruised with the twins. If I was wrong, I said I'd book a cruise for everyone here (excluding the trolls) if admin would work with Cindy on the planning.
For my sake, and admin's sake, I hope Kate is heading down there for the cruise!
The question is -- where is Milo? Will she finally meet Kate, fall down at her feet unable to speak because of the overwhelming emotional toll it will take on her? I hope someone would be standing by with oxygen and a defibrillator, and lots of paper towels to wipe the tears and drool off the floor, and any other bodily fluid that ended up there.
The LaFair thing - if TLC were really concerned with making this go away, they wouldn't have waited until an appeal was filed. When LaFair filed suit, they would have paid her off right away, not let the suit generate the publicity that it did.
Completely off topic here... (I really am needy, arent I?)
My nephew (and baptismal godson) has sole custody of his 13 month old daughter. Judge had recently declined to order only supervised visitation between baby and her mommy (exwife). Well, last night was visiting mommy and around MIDNIGHT the baby was climbing on something or another and fell and hit her head. Mommy called 911 because baby was vomiting and mommy requested help cleaning it up. (you cant make this stuff up, I swear.) 911 arrived, transported both baby and mommy to hospital, because mommy was beyond drunk. Police were called and mommy is in jail. Baby was released to daddy a few hours ago from ER. Nephew called lawyer who is seeking some kind of emergency order that mommy will only visit baby under supervision of a social worker or nurse. So we will see.
Nephew blaming himself for allowing baby an overnight with mommy against his better judgement. He is really all alone and this is hard, he is trying to work 2 jobs grabbing child care where he can. We are going to meet as a family on Sunday and see how WE CAN HELP HIM.
And by the way, I spent all day Wednesday with her and she is calling my name now clear as a bell! Since none of my 4 adult children have seen fit to give me granchildren yet, this darling great niece is fitting the bill nicely!
Layla said...118 Wow, she's really pushing the Coffee Mate lately.
How ridiculous (and painfully obvious) is that? On the driver's side, no less, blocking the windshield. NO ONE, I repeat, NO ONE puts their CoffeeMate on the dashboard. And NO ONE tweets a picture of it, lol...unless they're a) doing a parody; b) pimping themselves and/or a product.
Dwindle said... 120
I hope your grand niece is okay. I do hope your nephew gets an order for supervised visitation only. What happened should definitely help his case.
I want to move so badly! There are so many beautiful states, counties, neighborhoods! And a lot cheaper! Even with the housing problems, in CA they are still a hell a lot more expensive here, a 1200s.f. Easily $600,000 !
Oh, the show is only fake that they are already in escrow, prices are real!
We do not pay for restorative justice as tax payers. Civil lawsuit costs are born by the litigants involved and in this case,
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
In an appeals case, which is heard in a higher court than a magisterial district, who pays the judges, the review board, the civil clerks, etc.? Their salaries are much more than the cost to file an appeal (which isn't that much) so it isn't the litigants who are paying for this.
I don't know -- I'm just asking!
There are so many costs to a courthouse other than just the cost of the suit. Believe me taxpayers are paying for Casey Anthony at least indirectly.

Too bad for Kate that her "brand", and anything involving her, is unappetizing to the networks.
Unless Kate starts filming independently (or Skeeve picks up a camcorder), I sincerely doubt that anyone will ever want to be her "crew" again.
Keep dreamin' & scheming, Kate.
Well, who doesn't think this?
Something charming just happened on our family trip -- WHERE IS THE FILM CREW?? (Looking frantically around...)
She is totally and over-the-moon goofy, crazy, unrealistic, and outrageously selfish!
As for the "Soon, don't worry" tweet, I'm not concerned. If she had a new show lined up, she would still have to pulling in ratings to keep it afloat. She couldn't do that a year ago ,and she's even less likely to now. And the part about YouTube--she may be talking about posting videos of them on YouTube, not having a new show. Either way, she has no lasting appeal or large audience. Anyone who would sign her on is an idiot. Still, I'm reminded of all her "wink-wink" tweets that kept the fans all in a tizzy, and those were a year ago! She just likes to play games with them, kind of like a cat toying with a mouse.
Is this more of Kate's wishing and begging - or is there cause to be concerned?

I've said for some time that Kate's not done yet. So many are saying that her fifteen are up, nobody wants her, she's poison for the networks, etc., but I think that someone like Kate will just keep plugging away until she has those kids back on television, come hell or high water.

As for the "Soon, don't worry" tweet, I'm not concerned. If she had a new show lined up, she would still have to pulling in ratings to keep it afloat. She couldn't do that a year ago ,and she's even less likely to now. And the part about YouTube--she may be talking about posting videos of them on YouTube, not having a new show. Either way, she has no lasting appeal or large audience. Anyone who would sign her on is an idiot. Still, I'm reminded of all her "wink-wink" tweets that kept the fans all in a tizzy, and those were a year ago! She just likes to play games with them, kind of like a cat toying with a mouse.
************************************************
I agree, Layla.
She's probably worried that she will lose the attention of her "fans" if she doesn't make promises- even if they are empty.

Oh I forgot her staged 'fun time' has to be embellished to be something insanely awesomeish that none of us have ever seen or done before.
I have no doubt if each of you ladies with kids posted ONE thing you did with your children in the last week ALL of your stories and adventures would be dramatically more interesting. More caring. More in line with, and in touch with, your kids' needs and interests.
Plus, what she doesnt get and NEVER will get is the fact that it's rarely the over-the-top outrageous moments that are the best or most memorable. It could be a story you are reading your kids when some silliness breaks out. It's sometimes a simple game of whiffle ball and something goofy happens. Maybe an impromptu water balloon fight breaks out with neighborhood kids.
She is so pathetic and desperate. I find it entertaining that she is the only person alive who doesnt see what a laughingstock she has become.

Why does she think her life is so special it deserves a reality tv show? I watched her extra online interview, her days are filled with blogging about coupons and making bread in a machine. How is that important? How can I forget the constant tweeting?
what an idiot.

Huh? ALL morning to find coffee? If she's on the road, there are McDonalds at every exit and Dunkin' at every other exit. I guess those weren't good enough and Starbucks wasn't around every corner. I'd be ashamed to tweet something like that.

Kate's a real tool. She 'budgeted' so the kids could have a vacation....most families are barely scraping by just for the necessities. But, I am sure she feels like she is doing without since they didn't fly somewhere...boo hoo, had to go on a vacation in the new mercedes bbb. poor thing.
Quick! Somebody take up a collection!
(if Kate's driving (!) the bbb, what vehicle are her 'friends' in?)
Just last week she did that Extra interview, and she was talking about how she'd like to take up where K+8 left off, or do a dating show. Now she's saying, "Soon, don't worry", like she has something lined up. If there was something new, why not mention it in that interview?

Yes, I realize this is nit-picky but I'm hot and have to go to a funeral. Does Ms. Organic have any clue that Coffeemate is quite possibly the most toxic chemical crap one could put in a cup of coffee? Personally I don't care what anyone else drinks, but the hypocrisy of her organic life (I don't touch fats, sugars, or anything other than misted lettuce) and then whoring the fake creamer stuff, 'nuff said.

________________________
Oh, brother. Yes, Kate, we CAN imagine everything that has happened on your family's beach vacation, and, NO, none of it would be remotely unique or interesting enough to have it captured on film.
Let's just guess what has happened:
Kids have played on the beach. (Wow)
Kate has yelled at the kids to not get sandy.
Kids have gone in the ocean. (Amazing)
Kate has yelled at the kids to not get wet.
Lifeguards have whistled for kids to come closer to shore. (Incredible)
Kate has yelled at the lifeguards and told them that the GOSSELINS can go out as far as they want.
Kids have been knocked over by waves causing their bathing suits to fall down. (Hilarious)
Kate has posed on the beach busting out of her little bikini top.
Kids have built a sand castle. (Genius)
Kate has smashed the sand castle to smithereens.
Kids have sculpted a sand boyfriend for Kate. (Uproarious)
Kate has made the sand boyfriend discipline the kids.
Kids have gotten hungry and taken Steve's pizza. (Incredible)
Kate has screamed at the kids to unhand Steve's pizza.
Yep, Kate. That is unimaginably exciting stuff. It is a tragedy that it is not on film.

Why doesn't she mention it cause she has nothing going on or she has something but it's not on TV.
Also I bet she does that-(oh look I got something going on)thing so people will stay interested in her.
Or so her sheep can fawn over her.
If she's so addicted to her coffee, I'm surprised she didn't buy an electric power source, plug it into the cigarette lighter and take her amazing Keurig on the road with her.

Just like I said before, TLC is filming a special. This is Kate speak for "just wait, we're coming". The episode will be called, The Gosselins. One year later. Or where are they now. She is just too happy for this being on her own dime. Especially having all kids for so long and not crabbing all day about it. Heck, she crabbed the whole time on the RV trip and that was with ample not a nanny's.
Her head is flying high in the sky. Something is just not adding up. Way too many I love my kids and they are so fun to be with.
Go back to the RV trip and read her tweets. It was always about her organizing and masterminding were being challenged daily.
Considering the recent tweets about Coffee Mate, maybe the next thread here should be "What Is Kate Hawking (Grifting) Now?" There seems to be a different product every week.
Whenever I see the KMart layaway commercial, I have to think about Kate...the woman with the crown. Wasn't she supposed to be a KMart spokesperson at one point? What happened to that?

Parallel parking to the curb, I think. There is a horizontal line just ahead of her.
Kate has screamed at the kids to unhand Steve's pizza.
+++++++++++++++++++=
Steve's pizza fell in the sand and Kate made Steve eat it anyway. Steve doesn't eat mac and cheese or salad, so pizza ala sand is better than nothing at all.
There have been quite a few comments in the past as to why those who know Kate, were high school friends, or co-workers seldom speak out about her. I think the reason is that it's best to avoid the media blitz, not to mention the rabid sheeple who would go after them. Because they know Kate, they are smart enough to foresee that she alone would be the reason for her own undoing. This has come about with her Twitter fiasco.

That is how I heard it too. Kate's tone and facial expressions sounded sarcastic and flippant just like an immature tween who thinks they know it all would respond to a parent.
Over In Berks said...
I've said for some time that Kate's not done yet. So many are saying that her fifteen are up, nobody wants her, she's poison for the networks, etc., but I think that someone like Kate will just keep plugging away until she has those kids back on television, come hell or high water.
Nothing would surprise me in this saga with all of its twists and turns. You can't kill the boogeyman.

I agree - maybe a special with the kids and Coffee Mate is the sponsor.
". . . there are McDonalds at every exit . . ."
I'm not a coffee drinker, but my friends who are addicted to the stuff tell me that McD's coffee is better than Starbucks, and a heck of a lot more "cost effective".
Mama Mia -- even if the litigants pay court costs in a civil suit, there's still the cost of lighting and heating (or cooling) the courtroom. Courtrooms need to be cleaned. The judge's time is being spent on the case while other cases, maybe more important ones, wait. Court clerks, stenos, bailiffs, etc. have to be paid. Where do you think their salaries come from? Tax dollars! The fees/etc. paid by the parties involved in a court case don't begin to cover the actual costs. At least not in the US. I IDK about Canada.
Doesn't KK claim that everything's "organic"? Since when is Coffeemate organic? Or even healthy?
Can someone explain how a network would frame a show around Kate and her 8 children today? Would the cameras be on Kate all day, waiting for her kids to come through the door from school? I cannot imagine having a show built around them eating dinner and doing their homework.
If the show was to be filmed in the summer, at least the kids would be at home. But Kate would want the network to pony up with big trips to "make memories" on adventures in destinations far, far away. Otherwise, we would be watching 8 kids jumping into their backyard pool!
When the show aired initially, I agree there was a fascination watching a young couple manage 8 kids, but time marches on, and no one is interested in seeing
school-aged children doing ordinary, everyday things. Their narcissistic mother is more delusional than ever if she believes she can sell her family dynamic to a network today. At best, she may get the follow-up show TLC indicated they may give her one day down the road.
I believe you can never count her out though because she does have an unshakeable belief that television is where she is MEANT to be and no-one will ever convince her otherwise.
Maybe that upcoming Extreme Parenting about crazy parents will take her on..

@xxxxxxx you can't imagine all that has happened on this trip that made me wish we had brought our film crew along...Soon, don't worry!
This tweet was Kate responding to a tweet about posting videos on the internet. I don't believe that TLC is filming them nor do I believe any other production company wants anything to do with her or her kids.
Her fans both the crazy ones and the teens keep asking for her to post videos of the kids and I 100% believe that is what her "soon" response was all about.
Kate will exploit her kids in any form possible to keep herself relevant. It has been ONE YEAR since she was FIRED. And she has been building up to videos on Youtube since posting all the pictures including the short video of the toe snapping on her twitter.

+++++++++++++++
Absolutely. All of the things you mentioned come out of taxpayers' dollars, even in district court where it may cost the plaintiff $50 to file the suit. The judge needs to be paid, clerks need to be paid, there are administrative duties, costs to rent the building where cases are heard, and so forth. $50 doesn't begin to cover those costs.

The frightenly sad part about this is those kids probaby feel obliged to perform on a 24 hour basis in order to keep their unbalanced mother in the happy-to-be-spending-time-with-you frame of mind. They are trapped in a Truman Show world. I do pity them.

I think Kate's reply about "soon" means she will be posting new pictures on her lame website or on Youtube. It does not mean she has a new show or special in the works. How arrogant---wishing they had brought "their" film crew along. Uh, TLC's film crew last filmed them over a year ago. I don't think Kate can lay claim to those people. She acts like she is a producer and has her own film crew at the ready.
And I bet this little vacay is a totally free deal. Maybe Deanna's parents have a beach house or she has some friends who have a house. There is no way Kate would even contribute to the cost of sharing a house. She probably feels like Deanna "owes" it to her, since she has given her a dozen eggs from her chickens. LOL.

fidos - You're thinking of Rumpstinkas.
Is that a book about a little gnomey guy...?
Well, the last time I heard a rump singa it was
well, shall we say, it is not a good party game.
It is if you keep the windows open.
The fact is when ever this idiot does anything... whether its a vacation or some other activity..she can only think of those events in terms of what is NOT being filmed. This is her life people. Why bother to do anything of importance if it can't be captured on film. She can't believe all of these interesting things happened and her dopey fans are unable to witness them....soon people, soon..don't you DARE tell her she will never have another show...I'm telling you...she will go off the deep end..
I'm going to say it again, the reason she thinks she can get a show is because the first time was so easy! She filmed that home video, sent out and TLC fellin love with her! The rest is history!
Same thing with products, if some sucker offers her a job it's going to put, potentionally, millions in her bank account. It is an easy job, few pictures, maybe a commercial, out promoting the product! She is dying for an endorsement deal! We have to remember she is extremely lazy!
The LaFair thing , I didn't know her from Adam, still don't ! But if she has money then she thinks $10,000 is a lot of money! Rich people never have enough money, just look at Kate! But I can move on, I don't have a dog in this fight! Yea!
Well, the last time I heard a rump singa it was

I'm almost sorry I ever brought up the subject of Rumspringa. Almost, but not quite.
I love HH and HH International. I caught the end of the Atlanta episode last night. His budget was $40,000 but I think he only paid $33,000 and with the savings was going to fix it up a bit. They did a HH segment that was shot on the Cape a few years ago and the couple that was on the show said they had already passed papers on the house and moved in before the show was even taped. But I still enjoy the show. I also watched a HH International (London episode) late last night with a family of four and a $4,000 a month rental budget. They ended up in a mews house (part of a converted stable block) that was tiny. Open plan kitchen, dining and living room; two small bedrooms and I think 2 baths. The master just barely fit their king size bed. They had two young boys squeezed in to the smallest bedroom and the baby had to sleep in the travel crib because his crib would not fit in the room with the twin bed. All for $4000 per month. I've been to London and I know it's expensive but wow this place was tiny. I also saw the Paris episode where the woman had a million dollar budget and that didn't get her much.
Dwindle, congrats on your husband getting the job and hope everything goes well with your nephew and his little one.
As far as Kate speaking, my four year old grandson has better english comprehension than she does. If he's not speaking correctly or pronouncing a word correctly, we let him gently know how it's done. How else will he learn. I think Kate thinks it's cute and coy but she looks like an idiot. I was running on the treadmill early the other morning and I had the Duggars on and I noticed that the teenagers insert the word like into their sentences. I was surprised considering these kids are home schooled and don't watch TV.
Has Kate mentioned her grow-a boyfriend today? Is her traveling in the passenger seat and sharing her hard-won coffee with his "coffemate?"

I'm glad you're not too sorry! It's not the Rumspringa that's the issue here, it's the
typo'ed Rumpsinga that's got me going. Somehow a band of rump singers in that closet seems like asking for trouble. OK, I'm done now.
Back to Kate. I agree she was only replying to a fan who wanted her to put some things up on
YouTube for public enjoyment. I bet Kate will do it, too. It would just be easier to do it with a crew in tow.
Let's throw said.
But if she has money then she thinks $10,000 is a lot of money! Rich people never have enough money, just look at Kate!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
...and the point is? What does it matter if she's rich and thinks that 10 grand is a lot of money, or if she's poor and thinks that 10 grand is a lot of money? What does that have to do with anything? Am I missing something here?
Well, I guess if "no one knows how to help me" get hooked into the party by audio, I'll just have to sit here and watch MORE junk TV. I think I'll start pouting now.

I think poor or rich when someone owes you 10 grand they ought to pay the 10 grand. Juanita an Darrel busted their butts to pay their debts. They didn't try to get out of it.
Dmasy (132): "She is totally and over-the-moon goofy, crazy, unrealistic, and outrageously selfish!"
Over In Berks(136) "Not to mention just plain nuts."
Her mental stability was never that solid to begin with, but it definitely got worse after TLC dropped her... And since nothing changed or is about to change in her "professionnal' life, I don't think she'll get better anytime soon.
At the party, considering the circonstances, we should ask the Rumpsingas hip-hop polka band if they know "They're coming to take me away, ha-ha" by Napoleon XiV. After all, we'll be celebrating a full year "sans" TLC for Kate. (Or her children. YES!!!)
Tate #174; what you said is most likely very true. Kate would NOT spend "her" $$$$, or maybe dipped into the kids school money.

Yes, they were $100 away from getting their loan and without that creditor's agreement they could lose everything. And J could not afford the $40 to pay for a dr visit but felt obliged to her m-i-l when she paid for it. They honored their debts and didn't like to take freebies but were thankful for what was offered to them.Even when they were eligible for food stamps J hope she would never need them again, that they could pay their own way.

Catching up on some comments. You guys are ridiculous with this rumspringa thing lol. I like the recipe. There needs to be a German element to it somehow too. Maybe drizzle the top with German chocolate syrup.
Wanted to comment on Juanita groveling with the creditor and how she completely downplayed it to Darrel.
====
I gather Darrel's father came from a generation where the man's job was to farm the land and if he had sons, they were brought up to take over the farm. In his time, farmer's wives were like hired hands and on top of helping with the actual farming they had to cook, clean, garden, can, butcher, look after the kids needs, launder the clothes and stay active in the community... oh good lord a hundred things a day. A lot of men didn't acknowledge the physical toll it took on their wives. Emotional burdens were rarely discussed. Darrel was brought up in that enviroment and probably knew nothing different than what he observed from his parents' marriage. He didn't seem the best match for Juanita on an intellectual level, anyway. She wanted more than the life they were living had to offer which is completely understandable. It put a huge strain on their marriage.
Admin I totally agree we are fortunate that Sutherland was an insightful filmmaker and turned his focus on this gem of a woman.
Kate Gosselin@Kateplusmy8
@KyliesNo1Fan you can't imagine all that has happened on this trip that made me wish we had brought our film crew along...Soon, don't worry!
-----------------------
I think Kate is telling the truth (even though she didn't add the "no lie" before her statement) about having "Our film crew".
I believe she HIRES and PAYS a "film crew" to take pictures of the kids so she can sell them to the Tabloids. Remember the Easter pictures ? How about all the pictures of her shopping at Target or with the twins this past year?
So, yes, Kate does have her own "film crew" in order to SELL pictures of her kids to every tabloid who will PAY her. I'm glad Kate is finally admitting to it!
OH my god is she for real??? the film crew???soon??? she's just sick
I noticed that the coffeemate is fat free. Often when a product is fat free it contains more sugar. The extra sugar and caffeine most likely gives her a surge of energy, but then she will plummet later in the day which is why she is always so exhausted. From what I've seen her die is very unhealthy.
I think maybe she was talking about the Youtube thing "soon"...not an actual film crew filming them.
Why doesn't Kate buy Natural Bliss by Coffeemate? It has all natural ingredients: nonfat milk, heavy cream, sugar, and natural flavor. None of that chemicalish stuff. It's more expensive, but to me it's worth it. She's such a moron.
Stopping in to say hi- HI! Am still recovering from massively fun day at Cedar Point last Wed. In spite of AMA, NOT heart-related, I rode the big gun rides with two older grandkids - ages 8 and 11, along with my son (their dad). My DIL had way more sense :) DH partook of some of the rides as well. My feelings were "hey, I probably couldn't have done this the day before (Tues) and I'll pay the price tomorrow and the next day and the day after that and the day (well, you get the idea) so I WILL join the grandkids ON the rides". When we left, earlier than the kids - but not by much, my son quipped "Kiss Grandma J and Papa goodbye - you might not seem them for quite a while" Such a kidder - the brat :). We were fortunate to be able to spring for the "Fast Lane" making it possible to ride the "biggies" multiple times (ack!) as we could only spend 1 day in the park.
We stopped only to take a few pics. No film crew - and would not want one, ever. Neither of us oldsters (59 and 61) are the least bit "exhaustedish" but both of us are walking kinda funny the last 3 days. My son rode one of the extreme, extreme rides - Top Dragster - and the rider in front of him ignored the orders to put all unsecured things (hats, glasses - sun and regular, purses, etc. - in the bin on the platform leaving his cell phone in his pocket. The launch ejected said cell - right into my DS's shoulder. Thankfully, did not injur him but destroyed the phone, shattering it to pieces. My DS found it funny(I think he was in shock)...I did not, it could have hit his eye or caused a concussion. I'm gonna guess that the idiot rider thought those signs and announcements couldn't possibly have meant him...kinda like a certain fire lane parker we know...
Gonna catch up on posts now...
PS - I thought I saw that Mr. Dwindle received a job offer? Yay, congratulations! Closed doors, open windows and all that that :)
