Reality T.V. Kids: "Oops."
TLC's hottest new show next to Honey Boo Boo child is about a good ole fashioned Rumspringa! TLC touts the show Breaking Amish as a group of young Amish leaving the community for the first time. But some impressive sleuths have helped made headlines after digging up some interesting information on the cast. In particular, cast member Kate (no relation to our Kate)
is reported by those who have seen her to drive a car, dress non-Amish, and work in a Ruby Tuesdays in Lebanon, PA. She was also shopping around modeling photos on a web site more than two years ago.
Other reports say that Rebecca and Abe, portrayed as strangers who just met, have a child together, and Jeremiah has been living outside of the Amish community for as many as 14 years, and is divorced with three kids. Oops, TLC! Time to bring out the damage control team hibernating since Kate Plus 8 was canceled!

| Pass the Swiffer! |
The same day all this is hitting the fan, good ole Eileen O'Neill, president of Discovery, gave another disingenuous interview in which she acts like, who me, what, people are upset about Honey Boo Boo? Oh well that's their opinion! Eileen goes on to claim she would never let her reality t.v. subjects be uncomfortable (which is why I guess she sued the pants off Jon when he left the show?) and that she is very proud of "Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo." No really, she used the word "proud."

Hang in there, Stefanie lives 2.8 miles from all of us. She just might not be in your area yet.
"ALL WE WANTED WAS JUST ONE MORE."
"Mommy and Daddy will always be together".

Never mind the scale I guess they're all 10's. The life she's living was built on them.
I think I'm looking forward more to her reaction to the book than what the book contains. RH has made it clear he's got the goods on her.
I want to see Kate squirm for a change. SQUIRM. She's always been able to brush her lies off like dandruff. I want to see her try to wiggle her way of this one.
capecodmomma - that was an inspiring story. Be very proud.
I wonder how much Kate pays for.
Nannies.
Housekeeper and laundry girl.
Lawnmowers boys.
Homework helper.
Car service to and from NY.
Dmasy, good luck to your son and his girlfriend! Yes, I know what you keep wondering...
Amy2, I agree with you. As I stated before, I never believed that Steve was dumb enough to get involved with Kate. If there were feelings, it was on her part, not his.
I also believe that she thought if she looked the part, she would get parts in Hollywood. I remember reading articles about her couch interviews where she said she would like to act, to be a voice in a cartoon movie, to have her own talk show, etc.
She was plugging to get a job in Hollywood and thought if she looked the part, the producers would come calling. Ha, ha, Kate; how did that work out for you?
Capecodmomma,
That is so inspiring! Send my congrats on, please.
Dmasy, keep us updated on the marathon and if your son catches sight of Nessie, he HAS to get a pic, LOL! Best of wishes to his girlfriend, perseverance and determination will get her through, along with love and support of friends and family
These OT stories are great. So many inspiring and proud tales shared.

I agree that Kate's barbie-esque transformation was to further her media career and that's fine. Of course, it's the lies and the thought that she can get huge jugs and simply say it ain't so, so it ain't so.
Takes a lot of hubris to pull that off.
I tend to think that Kate and Steve have some sort of understanding and that he was her love interest for a long time. I think his attention motivated Kate to drop weight and get all those procedures. It was a fix for her.
Who knows if the relationship was ever physical. Maybe Robert has seen behind the scenes and can shed light.
Stephanie showed up on my computer yesterday wanting to meet me because she was only 2.8 miles away. I declined because of my virus, and I didn't want to pass it on to any of you in case you decided to meet her!
I wonder will Kate sit in a dark room while watching the emmy awards?
I must have missed something somewhere along the line..will someone out there enlighten me about What/who Stephanie and the 2.8 miles thing is all about?
Stephanie still hasn't come to see me....some one give her some cab fare!!
Wowser, Stephanie is an attractive blonde Heather Locklear lookalike. She pops up in an ad to invite us to get together with her or chat with her. She is only 2.8 miles away. For me, that means that she is standing in a corn field waiting for a combine to crawl by.
Stephanie must read here! Admin, you must be so proud. She found me again, and is onlne now, wanting to chat!
For me, that means that she is standing in a corn field waiting for a combine to crawl by.

For me, that means that she is hanging out at Kate's gate!

OT - Have to brag about my oldest daughter and her boyfriend (he's the one that lost his arm when his humvee hit an IED in Baghdad). They did a sprint triathlon today. 1/4 mile swim, 10 mile bike ride and a 3 mile run on the beach. He finished in 1:26:? and she finished in 1:27:? (she couldn't remember their seconds time). The water temperature was 63/65 degrees with incredible swells. She said there were surfers at the end of the beach. that's how big the swells were. The water was so cold, she lost her breath when she jumped in. She was all set to do the freestyle but opted for the breaststroke because it was easier with the swells. Her boyfriend did the backstroke because of having one arm that's the easiest stroke for him. She was quite pleased that they finished as they had never done anything like this before. There are a couple of triathlons on the Cape during the summer so they are going to sign up for one of those for next year. I'm proud of both of them. Okay, bragging over. Carry on.
***********************************************
You can brag as much as you want.
They deserve the accolades.
Congratulations to your daughter & her boyfriend!!!
Country Living -- Hubby is harvesting in a nearby corn field. I have a big pot of chili simmering. And, there is a Yankee Candle, pumpkin scent, burning on the hearth.
I count my blessings.
Dmasy . . . sounds divine :)
Marie
Over...you are that close to Kate? Wow. You must know more than you share. You are a trustworthy person. I admire you.
PS: You will probably hear the screaming when the book is released!
She wanted to belong in Hollywood, move there permanently and live the Hollywood lifestyle. 199
amy2, I agree. I also think she wanted/wants to stick it to Jon - see how great I look and what you're missing out on. (Not that I think he wants to get back together). I've always thought she saw Steve as someone to rely on to take care of the things she is unable to cope
with (e.g., getting through the airport is one example). I do think she likes the idea that people think 'Steve and she are involved
romantically, whether they are or not. "See how HOT I am?"
Gosselin Book is juicey!!!
It's confirming what we knew all along...
That the Jon & Kate were living in the land of make believe.
Realest reality show my ass.

Dmasy:
Sounds lovely. I'd be over but you might need the extra portion of chili for Stephanie. She'll be cold from standing in the cornfield- although she might have bought a jacket when she was 2.8 miles away from me, which would be the mall.
Love Yankee Candles ! I'm a candle nut!
I recently made lima bean chili with corn. I know, sounds weird, but it's delicious! This time of year both are still in season and DH and I have been eating it all week.
I was a lazy azz today and just making tuna melts for dinner, but tommorow will be braising beef stew in a cranberry sauce in the crock pot. All day long. Gonna smell like heaven.
Love this time of year when there's a chill in the air. This summer was just too hot.

Kate wants to have it both ways. You can't have the realest reality show and then blame editing when you look bad.
Doesn't work that way.
Dmasy, I love the description of your home on this beautiful autumn evening.
Had to google Yankee Candle.
Up pops Yankee Candle Canada...coming soon! Yay.
I really really love this this blog... except for one thing: it gets me so hungry sometimes! Right now, I'm craving for Dmasy's hot bowl of chili and Tweet's upsidedown pineapple cake. I don't know how many times my reading here got me to cook something. Especially recipes from the "past", i.e. good ole' comfort food my mom use to serve us, that I had completely forgotten about until mentionned here. I swear... I can smell that upsidedown cake from here!
Formerly Duped -- I get all my Yankee Candles at TJ Maxx. Limited scents, but the most discounted prices. I stock up on the aromas I like. Small canister sizes are 4.99 and large are 7.99. Think Coupon Cabin would be interested in that saving tip?
capecodmama - what an inspiring story. Please pass my congratulations on to them.
Dmasy - I've got a big pot of chili simmering on the stove also. Mine is made with ground veal and ground bison! It makes the whole house smell yummy! I defrosted some of the slim Jim chili from Hatch NM. Nothing gets the juices flowing like walking past a vendor roasting fresh chili peppers! The local groceries do it here and sell it for $5 with all proceeds going to charity. Just don't rub your eyes after peeling them without scrubbing your hands first. My eyes are still burning and I know better than to do that!
"See how HOT I am?"

Well, I have to say it was working for Kate. While she was running, tanning, blonding, organicing she was looking really good, while Jon was getting paunchy, smoking etc.
He really did have bad counsel and in my opinion, including Rabbi Schmuley who is an equal opportunity media ho.
We must all be in a cooking' mood...we just "turned on" the fireplace and I just took a cinnamon bun cake out of the oven. Ahhhh great minds!
Auntie, Yankee Candles are the best. We have entire stores in malls here. They are pricey, but worth the expense. They burn for days and days and the scent is pure. ( See my note above for massive savings.)
Their seasonal candles, especially the Christmas ones, set the stage for a charming home. They might even distract from less than tidy!!
Unfortunately for Kate by the time she got herself all barbied up by Hollywood standards she was too old...that and she's got no talent.
No fall chill in the air here yet but it's coming. The grass looks like it's starting to go dormant so I guess it's time to get our winter garden started.
Dmasy: haha, I do too! That's the kind of tip I like. The Christmas Tree Shop occasionally has them too- they have some other good brands. I also stock up on seasonal ones , plus my favorites, vanilla, sugar cookie, fresh linen.
AuntieAnn: You'll love Yankee Candles. A bit pricey but you have TJ Maxx too now? I also use their car air fresheners, shaped like candles. (
Stephanie is single-handedly bringing us all within 2.8 miles of each other. Soon we will all be together having a party in the cornfield.
Congrats to capecodmomma and Dmasy! You both have wonderful children.
Ei Everyone! I cannot believe I got a contact with outgoing onto this site and the G. Book. OMG, I thought I would wet myself. Honest. She is going to burn in hell for the way she treated those kids. She screamed, she yelled, and yes, she probably hit them. That is why they were always, always beating each other up. That house had to be a hell hole and no wonder the relatives and Jon had to try to stop it, get those kids off of TV. I believe now that those kids will do anything to get back on TV JUST TO GET OUT OF THE KONPOUND.
I will buy the book. But wow, from what I read, oh yes, I thought stalker too and filming a TV show, but then I thought "wow, that was in side their house 24 hrs a day" and how in the world do you raise a family of 8, 6 in the formative years when they needed parents to identify their personalities, understand each is different, give them each attention, maybe a sport, maybe a musical instrument, lots of play dates. Pre K from 2 at that age today,at least a couple of days a week with different play groups for each 2 of them. Yes, I think that Kate not only proves to be lowlife and her family has removed themselves from her, but she is definitely in need of some good old fashioned "lose your kids as they get counseling"......wonder how much $$$ she hid away? She has got many, many millions from the poor hidden somewhere, with money she is smart.So good to be back on line, temporary though,will try to get back again real soon. I never thought this day would come, but B. Walters will have her on, Joy Bahar has her own show again, she will have her on. There are so many talk shows, that they will be "running" to get the Jug Princess on.
Oh, did you see her Hawaii picture and her nose? She had a nose job too. lol lol lol lol KARMA
Virginia has a Yankee Candle Store that's like a small mall. It's in Williamsburg. I love it there! ! They even have snow falling indoors near Santa's 'workshop/office'. (and yes, Santa is there to chat with - year round)
My favorite summer scent is Pineapple-Cilantro and for fall I'll take anything that smells like vanilla or something yummy baking on the stove. I have a couple of candles that I rotate in and out depending on my mood.
Pricey, for sure, but worth it for that homey feel.
OMG! I totally feel like one of the 'in-crowd'. Stephanie has come to visit here too! ! She's oh.so.very.close. 2.8 miles. Perhaps she's staying with a nice Amish Couple.

Hi Angie...good to see you back. Is this Angie, the attorney, or is that another Angie? Sometimes I get confused!

As in porn?
Well, now I can earn a nursing degree as advertised above. Forget bible school with aggie- no way. Plus I HAVE my nursing degree ! For those who don't , just remember to give Zicam to any age child, pop some Advil & keep running even if you feel sick or are injured, take Zofran for nausea in pregnancy willy-nilly, put sick kids on cold floors and close the door and open the windows. That's all you need to know. :/ Oh, and advise patients to eat organic salads and BellaBars with plenty of fluids- coffee or wine.
Two years ago Katie Krieder walked the red carpet at the emmy's. No so much last year or this year, but I cannot forget her statment "This is my first Emmy appearance!" Yeah, Kreider and YOUR LAST!
Another missed opportunity for Kate--working the red carpet at the Emmy's (or Oscars etc). Everyone from Star Jones to Kathy Griffin to Kelly Osbourne has hosted. I just thought of this watching Ross the Intern (Mathews) doing a hosting part at the Emmy pre show and he was just an intern for Jay Leno when he got some screen time and just took off into a (real) TV personality. He's charming and warm and really fun to watch. He definitely has the IT factor and is watchable.
Kate's "hosting' and microphone grabbing was...bad.
My daughter got me into the Scentsy candles. The initial expense is buying the holder (many different designs) and then you buy the different fragant mini bricks (9 to a pack). One brick goes into the candle holder and it works with electricity; no flame. They make the house smell wonderful and are getting very popular in my neck of the woods. I have a lady I work with that sells them, but I never would have tried them if my daughter hadn't "enlightened" me about them last year. They also have all of the holiday scents as well as the everyday scents. Sorryl, don't mean to be a commercial for them, but they are very good and much cheaper than Yankee Candles, which I always bought before.
The medicine has helped alot and today I felt really good. Tonight for dinner I made grandma's meatloaf with roasted vegetables. Of course I had to have chicken soup as an appetizer just because the hubs and I are both still feeling under the weather.
How I love chili in the autumn! Definitely something I have to make next weekend!
There's not much for me to comment on that hasn't been said by anyone else here. I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the book and will purchase it as soon as it is available.
Meanwhile, Robert is confirming so much of what has been speculated and filling in the missing pieces and I must say we have been pretty darn close to having Kate pegged as Robert himself stated:
"There’s one blog that I will single out and highly recommend if you’re interested in keeping up with the ongoing Gosselin saga. It’s my personal favorite, not only because of the intelligent conversation and the often-times hysterical posts by some of the regulars, but because this blog and it’s collection of posters truly seems to understand Kate Gosselin. They may not always have the details correct, but they get the broad strokes that make up Kate Gosselin more than anyone else online. www.realitytvkids.com. Keep up the great work!"
So what will Kate's next move be after the book comes out? I don't see her bowing out quietly. Will she make the morning TV show circuits? This is going to be be very interesting.
OMG! I totally feel like one of the 'in-crowd'. Stephanie has come to visit here too! ! She's oh.so.very.close. 2.8 miles. Perhaps she's staying with a nice Amish Couple.
+++++++++++++++
Yup. She's in Berks County. Let's all get together for a Rumspringa!
Read here every day but because there are so many posts, I sometimes miss things. I work 3 nights a week. Usually read once a day and in the morning when I get home. (yes, I am a nurse,unlike Kate). By the time I get back there have been over 200 post.
Please tell me who is Stephanie?
Just want to say, y'all are the greatest. Been around the boards, GWOP,IMDb, Grapevine, etc.
I think I first started reading around the time the Pennmommy thing was going on, so it's been a while. I do occasionally visit BM, IW and those other extremely nasty sites. Keep up the good work and thank you for having me.
One more quick question, does anyone remember:
Team kids-Aurora
Team John-Midnight/I love kids
Team Kate-Alexis Harpy Cutie?
Sure wish we could have a Where Are They Now?
Dmasy & Formerly - I guess T.J. Maxx is 'Winners' in Canada. I'll have to check them out for the Yankee Candle. Thank you for asking...
I had to google TJMaxx to find that out.

I'll be interested to see how Kate handles this material that really cuts close. Other than lying and saying the book is not true, I'm not sure what approach she can use.
She's rich, raising the kids part time with Jon, is not relatable, has nothing to promote.
Should be interesting.
AuntieAnn; My friend in Vancouver says a TJ Maxx is opening at their mall- forget where in 'my native land' you are, but seems Canada is getting all the US stores. Now I want Roots and Joe Fresh here!
I used to shop at Winner's a lot- you will love TJ Maxx if you get one...also HomeGoods here is like HomeSense.

"Last Christmas, my daughter and SIL gave me a kit all my own! I love doing Legos."
Lego rocks! There was never a time that I didn't love playing with them. From when I was kid, as a teen when I babysat, as a young mom and as a middle aged auntie.
I don't think to actually engage in the activity when I'm on my own but it's always the first toy I reach for when I have kids around.
I saved Daughter's Knights and Castles and Harry Potter sets from when she was little. They were always my favourite. ;)
******************
Just read over at gosselinbook.
The latest addition, not the boobs thing, about the kids and the hayride, wow.
I wanted to be all, "Aha! Knew it, called it!"
But even with the children's faces blurred, thank you Mr. Hoffman for your tact on that matter, you can still feel the effect of their mother's indifference.
And that just makes my heart break even more for those kids.
For all the criticism and snark of Kate, and believe me I'm not saying she doesn't deserve it, 8 kids' childhoods are really what's at stake.
The realest reality of it being, they aren't toddlers and 1st graders anymore.
They might have had a chance if the show had been cancelled while Jon and Kate were still married. Who knows?
But they're 8 and 12 now. They know what their life is, what it has always been. Cameras, cues and their lines. "Coming up on Jon and Kate plus eight" or "Next on Kate plus eight" and every variation thereof.
They are pawns in their mother's continuing quest for...well, whatever it is she's trying to grift at the moment.
I guess I just thought I'd be more relieved that she's finally being called on her lies and fraud.
Instead, I just feel even sadder for her 8 kids who, no doubt, only wanted their mother's love and attention.
*big sigh*
I love TJ Maxx. I'm a Maxinista!
Rumspringa...wonder if we could warm it up for the holidays, like a Hot buttered Rum?
BTW, I was just reading an article on Mad Dog Marty (Martin Singer) (as he's apparantly known as)and his band of attack dogs...including the lawyer that Kate hired: Evan N. Spiegel. These guys are ruthless, you can look up their cases and their 'filed claims' to get an idea (not sure what you call them). Anyways, for RH to go up against these guys and still get away with it means that he has the 'goods' and truthfully so.
I for one can't wait to read this book, buy a copy for each of my local libraries in Berks County and beyond.
RH has my respect since he has not backed down from Kate's hounds from hell.
This was posted on Twitter: she talks about how sitters are necessary for safety to get them fed, homeworked, showered, and to bed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2pE4Q5sWzA
Mrs. Malaprop -- It never occurred to me that the kids might have been told that the vow renewal was "just pretend" for the show. If so, they must have been so confused. They're playing themselves, they're told the show is "R" life, and then "this is just pretend". Kids who are acting in a show know it isn't real. They know the actor/actress playing their parents aren't really their parents. They go to their real home and their real mommy and daddy afterwards. But for these kids? How messed up would that be? Very confusing, especially for 4 and 8 year olds. I don't know which would be worse, them believing KKs lie and thinking we'll always be family or being thoroughly confused and thinking that this is our real life, except this isn't our real life.

Well, I can tell you what I *think* I'll use for it!
In researching recipes for this, I came across one for brisket that closely resembles a favorite brisket recipe I've use, called Coca-Cola brisket. That's right, Coke!
You make a sauce of a can of coke, a jar of chili sauce and a packet of Lipton's beefy onion soup mix and pour it over a brisket and braise low and slow for a few hours.
So, I saw 2 recipes for cranberry beef stew that are close. It calls for a packet on onion soup mix, cranberry sauce and beef stock and/or red wine. I think I'm going to add a couple tbsps. of brown sugar to just for good measure. I have beef cubes that will get seasoned and browned before going into the crock pot. Planning to serve over wide egg noodles.
I'll post about it tomorrow!

I meant no way was I giving up bible school and your charming company! . A divine sign for sure to have your needs met...you ought to give inspirational lectures. Maybe bible school will allow it and pass the plate.

Eat your hearts out gals, I have a Yankee Candle outlet near my house. They sell, drum roll please, SECONDS!!!! for wicked cheap! (or as my UK friends say 'silly money'), you get layered or swirled candles of complimentary fragrances (think Christmas Cookie and Pumpkin Pie) or wonderful scents that the color did not come out correctly; and if you can store them, you can buy 3 large jar Christmas Candles in January for only $20. for the 3!
Now you all wanna come visit me, dontcha? hehehe!

Unfortunately for Kate by the time she got herself all barbied up by Hollywood standards she was too old...that and she's got no talent.
--------------------------
"she's got no talent" is right!
Kate was given more opportunities than she deserved. Even Barbara Walters was backing Kate in 2009. But Kate FAILED every opportunity given (not earned) to her.
Even TLC saw FAILURE with Kate and never pursued Twist of Kate even when it was talked about for months.
Kate was so full of herself that she thought she could keep getting offers just because she was Kate.
I think it was obvious not just to us but to all of Hollywood/media/TV producers etc. that Kate never worked on any talent. Every interview of Kate was about the kids, Jon, or how she looked. That could only go so far. She had nothing else.
She tried to interview others - FAIL.
She tried guest hosting-FAIL.
She tried DWTS - FAIL.
So all the media opportunities (including BW's backing) disappeared when they saw she was a NO-TALENT FAKE.
She fell from Walter's Most Interesting Person down to a JOKE on Late Night Talk Shows and now she is left with Twitter.
So yes, Hollywood saw (even if it took alittle longer than it should have taken) that Kate had NO TALENT and no one has ever called her.

This does sound good!
Last year as we were leaving the house for Xmas shopping, I put a ham (which is already fully cooked, right?) into the crock pot with a can of good quality root beer and some cloves. Put in on low. Got home a few hours later to a wonderful ham!!! what a great flavor! only a few hours, if you need to be gone for 8 hours you will come home to shoe leather in soup, I think.

capecodmama, i can feel the pride in your throat. {{hugs to you}} as one mom to another.
Auntie Ann said... I want to see Kate squirm for a change. SQUIRM. She's always been able to brush her lies off like dandruff. I want to see her try to wiggle her way of this one.
----------------------
But, the thing is, she won't sqirm. Ever. She has no shame, and even bad publicity is GREAT publicity for Khate. Any attention focused on her is always a positive experience in her mind.
I would say it's too late for any book on Khate, Yon and the kids, but then the photo of M would make real news, or QN starts sending her free crap (pun intended)... And suddenly maybe disturbing, and hurting, 8 innocent lives might be worth it. But still....
Whine, Jon, whine. How do you think your kids felt on their REAL house arrest?

I think this is very unfair. The first thing Jon did when he wanted out was to try to get his kids out too. It wasn't like he just said screw it I'm out and never mentioned what he feels is best for his kids too.
"Is Stephanie a p-person? :-)"

Um, no. As in p-people, those hated dastardly
beasts that create all the havoc in Kate's life.
You know, the ones she never, ever calls for a photo op at the gas station or Target.

Unfortunately for Kate by the time she got herself all barbied up by Hollywood standards she was too old...that and she's got no talent.
--------------------------
"she's got no talent" is right!
Kate was given more opportunities than she deserved. Even Barbara Walters was backing Kate in 2009. But Kate FAILED every opportunity given (not earned) to her.
Even TLC saw FAILURE with Kate and never pursued Twist of Kate even when it was talked about for months.
Kate was so full of herself that she thought she could keep getting offers just because she was Kate.
I think it was obvious not just to us but to all of Hollywood/media/TV producers etc. that Kate never worked on any talent. Every interview of Kate was about the kids, Jon, or how she looked. That could only go so far. She had nothing else.
She tried to interview others - FAIL.
She tried guest hosting-FAIL.
She tried DWTS - FAIL.
So all the media opportunities (including BW's backing) disappeared when they saw she was a NO-TALENT FAKE.
She fell from Walter's Most Interesting Person down to a JOKE on Late Night Talk Shows and now she is left with Twitter.
So yes, Hollywood saw (even if it took alittle longer than it should have taken) that Kate had NO TALENT and no one has ever called her.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
It was even worse than that. Every time she got an opportunity, she blew it big time. She would interrupt the celeb to talk about herself, she would hog the camera away from the celeb, she would play little girl games in front of the camera (flipping the microphone), she wouldnt read up or research the celeb to know what they were trying to promote, and as soon as they got a word in edgewise, she would start talking about herself again and CACKLE CACKLE CACKLE looking at the celeb and the camera and off camera for validation on how entertaining she was. Every single time it was a disaster!!! She would end up with a celeb standing there looking stupid while Kate interviewed herself, answered herself, laughed at her own jokes and praised herself. It was not just lame, it was offensive to the celebs who were supposed to stand for a proper interview.
Love my grandsons,
Just be diligent and check your candles often. The heat from the electricity can get the holders so hot they melt and can cause a fire. I read about this in the newspaper. I do like the idea of a flame less candle but just be careful!
I hope Robert can enlighten us on just how little Kate has the kids now and if Jon will have them permanently soon.

We must all be in a cooking' mood...we just "turned on" the fireplace and I just took a cinnamon bun cake out of the oven. Ahhhh great minds!
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Awww, double batch of banana bread for me today! from scratch, came out a bit heavy, i should have sifted my flour maybe. But still delish - 3 large loaves! it's that wonderful time of the year, isnt it! More zucc bread this week for me!!
I have no idea if the media will be interested in having Kate on the media circuit but I have a feeling Robert Hoffman will have his day with Kelly and Michael, The View, The Talk, anything else Joy Behar is doing, etc. He will have his own time in the spotlight. If it shines on any deceptions by Kate Gosselin, I will be glad to watch and support him.
Remember when Oprah put some guy's book on her Book Club list. "Tiny Little Pieces" or some such name. Turns out it was a sham. Oprah had him back on and raked him over the coals for his deception. Oprah also had the Gosselins on her show and gave them a boatload of gifts. I wonder if she's going to even consider inviting Kate back for a talking-to. Smile!

No Name I'm referring to this:

Thanks for the warning, She's come undone. However, these holders are all thick cermic, and there is a separate "little cup", if you will, that you put the candle in and then place it in the bigger holder. It seems really safe.
It was even worse than that. Every time she got an opportunity, she blew it big time.

I would have loved to have seen the pilot of the Paula Deen panel show Kate auditoned for.

I took that to mean take them off TV/out of the contract, not to take them out of the house. I could be wrong - have been before. Once, I think. ;-)
Dwindle, I too am hoping that Robert addresses the sex offender and links Kate to him so that her denying knowing him is known to be a crock.

In a way it makes her look worse if she didn't know him. So you never even met the people working with naked footage of your kids in a dark editing bay?

My daughter got me into the Scentsy candles. The initial expense is buying the holder (many different designs) and then you buy the different fragant mini bricks (9 to a pack). One brick goes into the candle holder and it works with electricity; no flame. They make the house smell wonderful and are getting very popular in my neck of the woods. I have a lady I work with that sells them, but I never would have tried them if my daughter hadn't "enlightened" me about them last year. They also have all of the holiday scents as well as the everyday scents. Sorryl, don't mean to be a commercial for them, but they are very good and much cheaper than Yankee Candles, which I always bought before.
_____________________________________________
Love Scentsy! Got the holder and some of the blocks as a gift. They had a Plumeria scent that was my favorite but they discontinued it. But they've got a pretty good selection of scents.
The dh and I had streaks and baked sweet potatoes for dinner, the pups got the left over sweet potato skins.
Everyone is cooking such great things! Yum!
I thought Amazing Race came back on tonight, but not until next week. Guess I will watch the Emmys. Can we talk about who wins, or is it delayed on the West coast?
Kate's twitter behavior is so peculiar. If you believe that she only tweets when the kids are home, it would appear that their dad has them more than she does.
This is going to be an interesting week, with the book countdown!
Emmy's aren't delayed for me.
White Organza said... I don't know how many times my reading here got me to cook something.
__________________________________________
Tell me about it! I read here and copy and paste the recipes into a folder I've created for just that purpose. Seems I'm either starving from reading here, cooking from reading here, or of course eating from reading here!!
Tweet-le, after my daughter told me about Scentsy, I talked to the lady I work with that sells them. She brought in a bag of "sample" scents; I swear there must have been a hundred of them!
Since then, I now have 3 of the big Scentsy holders; one for the living room, one for the kitchen, and one for the bedroom. So does my daughter, as well as a small wall plug-in one for her bathroom.
We share the scents. We each order the scents we like and then break the bricks in half and share them. Because of this, we probably have 4-5 mini bricks of 10-12 different scents!
White Organza, forgot to mention the upside down cake is delicious! My cousin called and I told him what I'd just baked. He likes to cook too and suggested I use the leftover maraschino cherries (that weren't used for the cake) chopped and added to banana bread with chocolate chips. Might be giving that a try.
Loving the Emmy's!
Did anybody see Lucy Liu? Wow!
LoveMyGrandsons, It's nice that you can share! I've found bricks at Wal-Mart by a different mfg. They are less expensive and the scents are good but not as large a selection.
I think I might get another holder for my bedroom.
Did anybody see Lucy Liu? Wow!

I buy those scents at Walmart as well. Aren't they yummy? I am a boring person, I like plain ol' vanilla....put a few blocks in a candle jar, place it on a warmer, and smells sooooooo goodddd.......
Forget this blog being about the Gosselins. What a confusing mish mash of stuff in absolutely no order. A lot of good stuff is coming out on Kate and the only stuff or comments I am reading about is food, Yankee candles, and other tv shows. This blog is very incoherent.
There are some of us that have been simply readers and not posters and have enjoyed this blog. But it is currently very annoying to read.
I bet those two helpers/nannies were there to wrangle the kids, keep them all in front of the cameras and reasonably happy. Daylight only lasts so long. Time is money. It was all about making the buck.

capecodmama - what an inspiring story. Please pass my congratulations on to them.
Dmasy - I've got a big pot of chili simmering on the stove also. Mine is made with ground veal and ground bison! It makes the whole house smell yummy! I defrosted some of the slim Jim chili from Hatch NM. Nothing gets the juices flowing like walking past a vendor roasting fresh chili peppers! The local groceries do it here and sell it for $5 with all proceeds going to charity. Just don't rub your eyes after peeling them without scrubbing your hands first. My eyes are still burning and I know better than to do that!
***********************************************
Oh my - chili peppers can be dangerous! I'm going to share a story with you, but you have to PROMISE not to tell Dr. Malaprop. When we were newlyweds living in Charleston, SC he got some peppers from a friend because he was going to make homemade salsa. I wasn't paying much attention, but after he took a bathroom break he told me something "down there" didn't feel right. Slowly he became more and more uncomfortable . . . You can just imagine where this is going! He had gone to the bathroom but didn't think to wash his hands FIRST. His uh, manhood got a good dose of pepper fire and he was in misery! It took us a few minutes to realize what was going on. I laughed SO hard even though I felt so sorry for him. I will never forget seeing him standing in front of a box fan trying to cool his, uh . . . manhood! LOL!!!!!
Aggiemom, I think they're a great invention. LOL I'm a fragrance freak. I've tried tons of different candlea, incense, etc., and the melting blocks work the best, imo. I especially like the "clean" smelling ones if you know what I mean...like clean sheets, springy breezes, oh, and Christmas tree scents and baked apple scents...ok, I'll shut up.
Thank you, Elisabeth from Salt Lake City.
If you read here, you will notice that we have been talking about The Gosselin book all day. Oh, and also Stephanie who is probably 2.8 miles from you.

I prefer it this way....the G's are boring and as Kate said, 'this is so over",..I like all the crazy zany conversations! You gotta stay on your toes to keep up, lol.
As far as cooking, I am a week ahead of you guys, lol...I did all my cooking last weekend...dessert highlights, two pies, a red velvet cake, oatmeal cookies, blueberry muffins, two batches of what my kids call 'crack cookies'. (sent some to one of my college-age kids a few years ago, all the roomies loved them, they called them 'crack cookies' cuz they were so 'addicting', lol. We've called them that every since..I personally don't like them, oatmeal, butter, milk, and the dreaded "P" word (peanut butter)..gross! lololol.
fidosmommy,
You weren't wrong, you were just mistaken. Big difference, my friend ;)
(just run with it- it works!)
You know what I really want to see proven? That she really didn't run the full marathon in Vegas. Out of all the lies she's told that one really bugs me, more than the good bra or the all-my-own hair, it's the marathon that bugs me.
Me too. I'd LOVE to know the truth on that one!
The women all look gorgeous.
One of my biggest dream fantasied is going to an awards show.
Meagler you haven't been blocked. Not sure what is going on :(
Mrs. Malaprop, What a visual! I'm sorry for what the poor Doctor went through, but that is one funny story!
Tweet-le and aggiemom, my favorite's are the fresh scents, such as cotton linen, ocean breeze, rain, mountain air, etc. My daughter loves the flowery scents. What we share the most are the seasonal scents such as fallen snow, autumn leaves, etc.
For all of you bakers, I'm alittle jealous, but not much. I never got into baking because I just don't like it. I'd rather cook a meal with all the sidedishes, that's my thing. The only time I bake is with the grandkids so they can participate with brownies, cookies, etc. But, it's all box mixes or the premade cookie dough by Pillsbury!
Elisabeth from Salt Lake, it's boring just talking about Kate. It seems we have gotten to know each other through this blog and talk about various subjects like good friends do: kids, grandkids, recipes, etc.
It's really not hard to follow. Just join in and have fun!
Hey, my arrest record is now online, too. Sheeesh, I hope my grandsons don't see it; good their at a low level reading stage so they don't find out that their grandma's a jailbird! Lol!!
(So much for my self-imposed exile from this blog, huh?)
I like the scents that smell like food...vanilla, sugar cookie, pumpkin, etc. The kids like it too, their friends always say our house smells yummy, lol.
I go in spurts of baking, I enjoy making candy-divinity, pralines and peanut brittle.
My fav cake is a yellow cake with 7 minute frosting topped with coconut. YUM
:)
Aggiemom, you can make divinity? I've tried over and over and it never turns out right. Is there a tip you can give me?
Ah, geez, Tweet! Now I'm craving for banana bread! With chopped maraschino cherries and chocolate chips! (Add annoying "yum"!, here.) And I'm not pretending to be hungry: all that talk about baking got me back into my kitchen to make a batch of Toblerone chocolat cookies. (Talk of addiction. Pheeeeww... Those should be declared illegal, I tell you!)

My cat will only tolerate vanilla or lavendar candles and lavendar fabric softener. She will hiss at anything else, but purrs when she smells lavendar or vanilla scents. Guess what I buy? You would be correct. Happy cat means happy household.
Mrs Malaprop:
Poor Dr Malaprop! What a strange mishap. I hope he cooled down in due course!
SueBuddy,
I have to use a candy thermometer...divinity is super easy, it's the knowing how long to beat it is the tricky part. Just be sure the humidity outside is low....
I know a lot of people are hesitant to make candy, say it's too hard, etc, I think it's pretty easy. For me it's the pressure cooker that freaks me out..I had a fear of it exploding, never used it, and gave it away!

fidosmommy, ohhhh, lavender. I forgot that one. Ummm. That could be my all time favorite. I used to have lavender bushes and lemon trees in my backyard. I'd pick some lavender and lemon blossoms and bring them inside. That was heaven.
Yankee Candles and Legos, two of my favorite things. My dog also loved to eat Legos, especially the heads of the minifigs. I once was out in the yard, cleaning up doggie poo, when I found a smiling yellow Lego face grinning up at me from a pile of you-know-what. Funny memory. I live near the original Yankee Candle store, the "Scenter of the Universe." A huge, huge store with too many different sub-stores to name. A huge discount area, with discontinued products, seconds, etc. The founder, Mike Kitteridge (not sure of spelling) has been a very generous benefactor to a local hospital. His son is starting a candle business-the name escapes me at the moment. I am so, so excited about the book-can't wait. I wonder if Stephanie will read it.
aggiemom, thanks. I forgot about the candy thermometer. Didn't use one. I may try again on a dry day.
I've never used a pressure cooker but some people absolutely swear by them. I'd love to try but I'm a bit worried about it exploding too.

Thanks for the link, Pink. Preesi's site always had great sleuthing. I had no idea Kate formed corporations and it looks like a production company. Talk about being hell bent on staying on tv!
This makes a lot of sense time-wise with Kate pluming the waters for a reality show.
Wow.
If anyone can shed more light on this and relate what it means, that would be great.

I think you just have to suck it up one day and use the darn thing! I bought one and it sat on my shelf for a couple years because I was too afraid to use it.
The first time, I went very slowly and watched it carefully and after that, my fear was gone.
Makes the best risotto!
Oh, and don't forget to read the comments on Pressi's site. "Peg" found yet another item of great interest. Hmmmmmm.

SK8. How interesting. Maybe Kate and Steve did get married. Ha Ha Ha.
SK8. skate. I'm sure we can do something to have a little fun with "skate", right?
Tucker's mom: thank you. I must have had a moment of smelling unicorn farts and that popped into my head! Lol. By the way, the brisket and coke recipe sounds good. I was reading the fix it and forget it cookbook today and I saw another recipe that had beef and a can of coke. I will have to make it..it sounds delish! Wonder if cherry coke would add flavor with a cranberry recipe? Hey! I love cherry coke so to me it's gotta taste good on anything! Sorry...must have stood too close to that unicorn!!!
I wonder if Kate will be filming. She's talking about working overtime. With her own production company, maybe?
How much $$ did this woman rake in??
Was Steve a business partner with K8?
Good lord!! What could Kate produce BESIDES a litter of kids, a pack of lies, a bushel of BS, and maybe a dump every morning after she drags her butt out of bed every day? Pa-leese! That's probably where Steve has been since June! Producing! Oy! I hope Robert knows about this and can shed some more light.
Both the corporation, SK8, Inc. and the production company, SK8 Productions, Inc. were created in June, 2012, so the question is, IS Steve a business partner?
There needs to be someone to buy the product. Wonder who that would be?
I want to know what she and Steve are trying to sell.
Wasn't that right around the time she threw the dating show hints out there?
Chef summer: Ummmmm...I think they are trying to SELL her!! She had to buy her own company to do it because no one would take her for free!! Lol
The dating show hints were were around July 23.
You know, I really doubt that globe incident happened. It just sounds like something she would make up to make her look like this wonderful mother and her little one who came in to confess just look so sweet. Yeah, my guess is that IF this whole incident happened in the first place, she was snickering after that little girl left the room. That whole teaching her kids about being honest -- what a crock of shit! This thing wouldn't know honest if it walked up and kicked her in the butt.
Looking forward to Administrator's take on the production company. I don't pretend to fully understand these things but it seems to me while she may go into the producing business, she would have to sell the "product" to a network - that is unless she is going to have her own network too. Very risky proposition as Oprah is finding out.
bm
You know I have to say I'm a little confused about the production company. I mean other than to say I'm not surprised she set something up to pitch projects, and maybe this is around when she suddenly started calling Steve her "manager"?

I'm not sure which is scarier. The fact that she doesn't see what's so very frightening about her parenting in either that real or fake scenario is astounding.
Thanks to all for the congrats for my daughter and her boyfriend. I will be sure to pass them on.
Dmasy...Good luck to your son and his girlfriend. Hopefully, they will have good weather.
Tucker's Mom...I'm with you. I'm a Maxxinista as well. Was just there yesterday.
All this talk about food is making me hungry but it is 11:20 p.m. and too late to eat. It has been nice and crisp here so I made a shepard's pie on Thursday night. I don't make it very often but I had a craving for it. Hubs was very pleased. Went and bought blueberries the other day (I'm having a hard time finding them but finally found them in Market Basket) and made blueberry muffins. They're the best fresh out of the oven.
I agree with the poster who said Kate went Hollywood with her makeover. I don't begrudge her losing weight and getting into shape. People do that all the time. What I don't understand is the facial and hair changes. When she changed her looks no one could relate to her anymore. She was a pretty woman before the surgeries. Looks like she had a nose job, some people suspect chin surgery and others have thought she had something done to her eyes. Her short haircut was fine in the front and if she'd just grown out the back she would've had a very modern bob. It was a haircut that suited her face; her nice, round face. Now she has a very long face and long stringy hair. It doesn't look good. And for the love of God Kate, admit you had a boob job. We are not blind. It's the lying that always gets you into trouble.
I believe the "S" in Kart's SK8 corporation stands for Steve. The corporation was formed on 6/4/12. Kart and Steve were in San Diego for the half marathon on 6/3.
Admin ~ Have you read the "forensic accountant's" take on the corporations (via Preesi's site)? Assuming arguendo, do you suppose this theory helps explain why it is that Jon no longer has to pay child support? Other than shared custody, that is?
Maybe a network took pity on her and said if you are serious about trying to get a project going you can't just tweet us you have to look somewhat professional like for starters a production company. Poor green thing.
Steve was her "road manager", right?
Kate may be hoping Roma Downey and Mr. Burdette
will be a part of her production company.
If Oprah is struggling with her own network, imagine how a true neophyte would do in that
endeavor. Kan Do Kate would have her work cut out for her. She wouldn't have time to go to the spa.
It all looks good on paper, but I can't believe much will actually come of it.

LOL I think there going to sell Kate's magic bra and anti-wrinkle cream.
Cause we all know she didn't have a boob job or boxto. -)
Forgive my asking another question, close on the heels of one I just asked. But I'm wondering if Gosselinbook is an iteration of Jon's book, which isn't mentioned any more. Maybe at some point he made the decision to withdraw his own participation/authorship and hand it off to Hoffman? I can see that happening, to avoid legal challenges for one thing, and avoiding any appearance of self-interest pleading for another.
That is unbelievable stuff on Preesi's site. Am I understanding that she set up a foreign account to try and hide money?
I am just wondering who in the world is advising her to do all this stuff. She sure isn't smart enough to think of it on her own.
Am I the only one who thinks having a deadbolt on your bedroom door is dangerous? If anything ever happens to you getting through a deadbolt door is no easy task for emergency workers.
Where on Pressi's site about child support? I just saw the production company.
I emailed Robert to get permission to post some of his pap photos. I also asked him the status of the book.
He said I can share with you that it's no longer a legal problem holding it up, but rather just timing it right with a promotional deal he has set up so it releases the same time they are able to promote it.
Also, we're going to get an advanced copy. Thanks Robert.
Lord have mercy, i go away to eat dinner, take a shower, do a load of laundry and all HECK is breaking loose again! It's like one massive asteroid hitting planet kate every few HOURS!
I had gone to bed and couldnt sleep and got up for a cup of tea with valerian something in it. Good thing I dont have much pressing for tomorrow, coz I am WIDE awake now!
It's good to hear that the legal problems have been eradicated regarding the book!

Just a bunch of long time aquaintances sittin' on a veranda having a bunch of conversations about whatever pops up. Chilly? I have a nice pile of homemade afghans to wrap yourself in...
Yeah, it does indeed get a little noisy with all the conversations going on, but you have to work your way from one end of the veranda to the other to find the conversation YOU are in the mood for. and when you get tired of that one, you will be welcome to pop into another conversation. :-)
Kate's lawyers ran into a big problem and that was that Robert apparently has the goods to back this stuff up. There was nothing they can do and I hope they did the right thing and told Kate to stop wasting the children's money on their fees.
Finally, Kate's lies are blowing back on her. Just think about this, Kate, what and where you are is the best it's ever going to be. Your life is all downhill now. That light at the end of the tunnel is a freight train full of "Gotcha". Enjoy it, you perfidious bint.
Bet Kate's lawyers are saying "Kate? Kate who?" right about now.
I just flipped on Breaking Amish, and the two of them who supposedly had a baby together are flirting and want to date. Does anyone know if the child was born before this was filmed...or after? If they had a child together before this was filmed, then what a total deception is being put forth by TLC.
Wow, Kate has always gotten a pass on everything - can it be that she will finally be held accountable?
OK I am probably all kinds of wrong.
But it looks like she had a foreign corporation set up for her and her alone in October 2009; while they were still legally married. Hiding Jon's half of the money from him?
Then it looks like there are TWO seperate corporations set up on the same day; SK8 Inc is one and SK8 Productions is another.
Frankly I am very relieved! This means that starting TODAY the children can have milk to drink, they can go to the movies, they can take gymnastics and play little league, they can have clothes that fit, they can have clothes and bedding laundered with soap and water (OOOO and towels too!); poor struggling Katie Irene doesnt have to stretch a pound of ground meat in two seperate meals for 8 people at a time.
And we the faithless will be spared any more of her off kilter drivel about clipping a coupon, digging for change, and spending $500 on a new phone to help save 3cents on gas. WHEW! What a relief! She'll for sure give up that fake job and go back to masterminding her household staff full time.
Poor thing.
Breaking Amish...The guy, who supposedly had never driven a car before, was sitting in a driver's ed car. He had to be told which way to turn the steering wheel. He is driving (for the first time) in New York City. Yeah, right.
From Preesi...
OCT 26, 2009 Actual K8, INC.
A Fictitious name must be used when the Actual name of a foreign entity is unavailable for use in New York State. The entity must use the fictitious name when conducting its activities or business in New York State.
=================================
Pay attention to the DATE AND THE WORD FOREIGN....That date was around the time when Kate was sent off to Los Angeles right after buying the Heffner Road house, for Media Training, Boob Job, and when Jon said he felt uncomfortable about Kates relationship with Steve.......
The date is October 26, 2009. This isn't right after buying the Heffner Road house, which was purchased in the fall of 2008.

Dumb question of the morning:
Are corporate ID numbers connected to your SS#
and if not, how are they traceable to an
individual?

Where on Pressi's site about child support? I just saw the production company.
~~~
Admin. If you're responding in part to my question, it doesn't. I was extrapolating -- from the posting re the production companies, foreign and domestic, plus the theory put forward by the "forensic accountant"--that Jon found out about the $$ that was probably undisclosed to that point, and that he perhaps took her to court. Surely that (in combination or separate from their custody changes) would have SOME effect on their child support arrangement? I was curious as to your thoughts about that?
poor struggling Katie Irene. "Jon's child support barely pays for their lunches."
All this money she is sitting on, made off the backs and dignity of Jon's kids.
It will be interesting if the IRS knows about ALL of this.
In the area where I live, there was some testimony being given about kickbacks and freebies being given to a local government official. Kitchen remodels, patio, cars, clothes, dinners, coats for his wife, etc. Even though some of it they couldnt prove he had ever given a favor or consideration for, there WAS an IRS agent sitting in the courtroom taking notes every single day of the trial. hehehe, he owes at minimum $800K taxes on his 'gifts' he was 'given'. That included the hourly value of the hookers his buddies sent him. Gonna be rough since they sentenced him to 30some years in federal prison. Ouch!
Dwindle, you often use the terms 'we' and 'ours'. Please speak for yourself only, unless this is your blog now? It appears you have taken over. Rather obnoxiously, too, I might add.
Huh, I have never noticed that about Dwindle. But I'm sure had I noticed that I would agree with you.
Dwindle, I had no idea you were we-er. Live and learn. Now I will have to go back over every one of your comments and get mad about each one of them. Sheesh. Such a lot of work.
Dwindle! You obnoxious we-er! Now I'm going to have to plow through all your comments to see what Self Speaker is saying. Then, being the benevolent 15 minute-er that I am, I will have agree heartily with him/her. That's what we do on this blog. Sheesh, what a lot of work. I bet there are probably 8,888 gazillion
times you spoke for us.
Dwindle, you are hereby banned from ever using the words "we" or "ours" on this blog again.
That will save me a lot of time, because I am so busy with my paperwork.
Please speak for yourself only, unless this is your blog now? It appears you have taken over. Rather obnoxiously, too, I might add.

Why are you bothering to read obnoxious posts? "WE" could pull out the 'you're just jellus' card, but that would be much too sheeple-like!

New gosselinbook post.
But I'm wondering if Gosselinbook is an iteration of Jon's book, which isn't mentioned any more.
Yeah, I'd started to wonder if Mr. Hoffman was an alias for Jon. He sure seems to have a LOT of inside information.
Newest post early this morning: looks like an email or note from Kate to Jon. Sounds JUST like her.
I don't think Robert is actually Jon. But I think back in the day, Robert got some pretty damning stuff on Kate. Ha!
I am so glad Preesi is still there and following the smell of Kate. I TOTALLY believe Steve is her business partner. In fact, I believe he has invested in her (another scam, Stevie boy).
Reasons for a corp:
•Personal asset protection. Both corporations and LLCs allow owners to separate and protect their personal assets. In a properly structured and managed company, owners should have limited liability for business debts and obligations.
•Additional credibility. Adding "Inc." or "LLC" after your business name can add instant authority. Consumers, vendors, and partners may prefer to do business with an incorporated company.
•Name protection. In most states, other businesses may not file your exact corporate or LLC name in the same state.
•Perpetual existence. Corporations and LLCs continue to exist even if ownership or management changes. Sole proprietorships and partnerships just end if an owner dies or leaves the business.
•Tax flexibility. Though profit and loss typically pass through an LLC and get reported on the personal income tax returns of owners, an LLC can also elect to be taxed as a corporation. Likewise, a corporation can avoid double taxation of corporate profits and dividends by electing Subchapter S tax status.
•Deductible expenses. Both corporations and LLCs may deduct normal business expenses, including salaries, before they allocate income to owners.
THANK YOU, PREESI. Robert, I hope you have more about this or at least blog about it. Between Preesi, Robert and us...ding, dong the witch is dead!

If I was Jon I would thank heaven that Kate wanted a divorce.
Back with 'Breaking Amish' - previews for next weeks episode show Rebecca going to the dentist.
Of all things that come from this show, I hope she gets good dental care. She (Rebecca?) was showing some teeth in the photo seen on FB.
That would be a good result for her.
After last nights episode of prodding her through the modeling audition (which is what the other girl was really pursuing) - I would say she deserves some kindness.
Maybe something significant, positive, helpful and honest comes from that show?
Thanks to the Administrator for contacting Robert Hoffman and for sharing his reply. (#152)

She reminds me of how people with eating disorders think, according to my understanding. When I see a healthy body they look in the mirror and see a fat body.
When I see beautiful hair that should be left well enough alone, she sees a wave that needs to be straightened out.
Like Mommy Dearest and the small spot on the floor from the plant pot no one would ever notice.
Well, I can hardly believe what is going on. Have been out of town, no usage on the computers of this site, but I was reading everything on my cell phone in my room at night. Working out of town during this big Expose' has been like putting milar tape over my mouth.
Worked with the criminal element for years. I know one thing. Never, ever does it all last, no way. Madoff didn't do it and he had more money that the Denver Mint to protect himself, do everything according to Hoyle. Guess where he is today? If there is one, just one lead for the IRS and I mean this, one little lead, they will investigate this Sham for a year or more and they will track every cent. If she did not declare funds, no matter where she and Steve or whomever hid it and violated any sentence on Tax forms, her ass is grass. I do know this.
If a crime was committed in any sense of the word, she will be investigated by the FBI, because that Witch and her ARmored Car called Steve crossed State lines picking up Love offerings, photo charges on book signings. No way she will get past this one.
Admin., you know what we learned in school from those wise old professors who knew about criminal justice, crime of any kind that involved state lines and how your ass gets nailed to the cross and that is the first trial, then once that conviction comes down, the IRS comes after you and another trial.
If she did this all for money, tax free, hidden money, robbing people. She is a goner. I wonder how she looks in an orange jump suit?
So let me pontificate, I haven't been on the computer to write to you all. This is sadder than I imagined. Yes, it is. I had no idea that these children were tortured to this point. I call this abuse. I am no Judge/jury but those kids were scared to death of her from the day they were born. Can you imagine all of this? Living in luxury with all the trappings; yet, they were punished if they did things right or if they did things wrong, depending on their mother's mood. I certainly hope that Jon's conscious got the best of him, as I am sure those kids go over to his house and tell him how they get hit, punished, are hungry, scared, frightened of their mother's moods. The people who come and go who are not friends/family but involved in these Scams. Jon, if you read this, you have to put everything in writing and go talk to someone in law enforcement, let them know what you know, if you have not already done that and you will be around to raise those kids. She does not want them, she never did, JMO folks, she never loved them, not even as babies. They never had a childhood, that breaks my heart, how they lived. No wonder Mr. Graham had to get this book out to prove to the world, the Gosselin children have been abused. No wonder Kate's family went to Rep Murti, no wonder Paul Peterson has been involved and stays involved. No wonder Kate is a nervous frigging maniac, she is afraid now. Finally, she is afraid, I read a whole day she was not on Twitter conversing with Milo(Julie May Carson) and then it started up again? Milo is who we think she is Julie May Carson who keeps the twitter going. A stranger is considered a "friend" not even Deanna (hairdresser/makeup) knows about Kate and Julie(Milo) but they are addressed together on TWitter? Wonderful. Kate, when you had it finished a year ago, you should have gone away, but CRIMINALS NEVER GO AWAY, THEY COME BACK FOR MORE MONEY. Shame and God Bless Mr. Graham, Admin, all those brave people who kept their Blogs going all these years to help these Gosselin children. No wonder Beth left. She saw it for what it was.
Is "oh yes she is" back??
Oh my gosh someone break out the rumspringa. Maybe make it a hot drink, fall is in the air.
fidomommy, SS# are connected to establishing a corp and getting that Seal of Corporation. Your birthdate/SS#/Place of Birth/Citizenship/Passport/Visa and anything connecting you to the country where you establish a corp is required, except for shoddy one. Most overseas companies WANT a letter from your Bank in the USA, but in Steve's case, he can do a lot over there in New Zealand, Australia(where Kate visited twice, for good reason) and yes her trips there are recorded by guess who? Homeland Security in addition to the INS and one other agency I cannot think of. So, somewhere, she will get "caught" in a net and it will not be pretty.
Hope I answered some of this for you. But if Steve was the "bag man" carrying cash around, somewhere he paid someone off, some where a Custom's agent was paid, no doubt in my mind and that will come up because a Custom's Agt who may have seen this (If it happened) reported it. Jealousy runs around the world, huh? I know the book will kick start a lot, but more than that, the federal agencies here and abroad get involved. Reciprocity. We and Australia and New Zealand shake hands and do legal business. Most countries do if they are missing the "taxes on money brought into their country illegally also"..Again, my heart aches for what those children must be going thru in that house with her. Hope Jon has them right now. Wish to God he had told more people when he stopped filming what was going on, if he knew. Who knows. He was weak during his year with her. Some men are not aggressive enough and I guess he was more worried about his kids.
But I can't wait until the despositions start, like the staff who worked on the shows. Yep, they saw a lot. I'm sure E. O'Neill has a lot of film she has saved to save her ass too. Scum
She is a goner. I wonder how she looks in an orange jump suit?

"Orange Is The New Black" by Piper Kerman. Good read.
What is milar tape? Is that like a mylar balloon?
BTW, I so not think there is a Paige either. But someone like Julie May Carson with several Twitter accts who keep the twitter going. Even that picture of some guys, I don't think they are real either. She would not talk to anyone beneath her.
Wow, has her family ever had anyone go to Prison? Well, this will look great on the Family Ancestral Wall, huh? Kate in an orange jump suit, stick those boobs in there Kate and by the way, they don't give you the size Bra you request, did you know that? You get a big ass pair of cotton panties, a pad each time you need one, no boxes of tampons in Prison, honey, no boxes of maxi pads, but those big ass pads that can be worn 24 hrs, bit ass pads, and the bra? Oh yeah, almost forgot, cotton, no wire pull up type, but no straps that don't cut into your shoulders either, just a strap and you know what happens Kate? They hang and they sometimes are too big, until you gain weight from that bread. Oh yeah, you are gonna get a lot of bread as the food? It is worse than what you cook and no gourmet sauces or oils, nada. You will wish you were volunteering at a nursing home eating that food vs prison food. You never know what is in it. The spaghetti? Oh yeah, you can eat that, eat the bread, you will fatten up real fast. As for the bi sexual look you got going? Well, when they shave your head (oh you didn't know that? Oh yeah, gotta make sure you don't have lice)and maybe, if you are lucky you only get one shave, but you know those hair nets? The guards do not like hair sticking out of those nets. So a shaving you will get. So I guess you should start twittering with Paris Hilton about now and find out what it was like that she cried and cried and ran into her Mommy's arms when she got releaded after 2 days and 2 nights of screaming that went on. Yeah, no tranquilizers, no pain meds and no Vino. Nada on that, absolutely nada. But you can take up smoking unless your prison is in NY, then you may think about chewing...what? tobacco Kate, like chewing gum. You will get the hang of it in no time. Well, honey, oh the shoes, did I mention the anklets you get? 100% cotton, yup! But the tennis shoes with velcro, well that should make you happy, no laces to tie, right? See, I knew, just knew I could make you happy with something about the Outfit You Will be Wearing. I'll visit if you are in my State. Honest Injun....I can get in there to visit, I promise, pinky promise.
Dwindle is a kind person, considerate too. If she is full of fun, that is who she is. Everyone here is different. Acceptance is a form of living together or in this case? Blogging together. We don't get into personalities, what is the reason for that? Life is hard enough, especially for Kate Gosselin and Stevie and Julie and O'Neill and all kinds of people involved in harming children.
The tourism is a way of making a living, but not their only way of that. They also are craftsmen and women. They can make, they can sell, they can be peaceful, gracious, kind and great with customer service. Their artistry is famous for the stone work, brick masonry, etc. As for having problems within their homes, they have the same problems we have, they have depression, they have mood swings, they have money problems, they have too many children and too little time for all of them. Always felt bad for one whom I knew in Ohio, she wasn't 30 and she had 10 or 11 and was pregnant. She sold flowers/plants/cookies/baked items. Her oldest child was 12. She asked me if I thought her oldest daughter was having a hard life because of all of the children. I didn't know what to answer. I just said she looks happy taking care of all of the babies. It is a hard life for the women more than for the men I think. Remember they are just getting use to hospitals, vaccines, giving birth with visiting nurses and some of their women who do not marry actually go to night school for a higher education. But they do favor chiropractors and herbs vs medicine which can cause problems in those with severe depression.
Steve had a sweet deal- lots of money, travel and a bit of fame? That's why I don't think it was the alluring Kate that kept him on the job, just plain do-re-mi ($)
So we will get an advance copy? That's very nice, although I hope this is a proper book that will be sold and advertised in stores, not just one on-line with limited audiences as someone suggested might happen.
The photos and documents will be so interesting.
Does anyone here think that we have an "oh, yes, she did" alert?
Just curious...
Just when I thought TLC could not go any lower, they go and pull a stunt like this! My buddy from my office at DISH and I were squinting our eyes in suspicion after we watched the first episode, but I definitely didn’t think the lies went this far! I for one will not be watching anymore, but I already know that my roommates wouldn’t miss an this show for the world! I don’t think one episode has slipped by them! At least my Hopper DVR has three independent tuners, so I can watch something actually worthwhile while they continue getting duped by Breaking Amish. I wonder what TLC will come up with next.
You know what else is possible, if Kate were a difficult child, which by all indications she probably was, her parents may have felt they had no choice but to be really tough on her. Maybe she didn't ever go to the toy store because she never deserved a toy. Maybe she didn't get to go on many vacations because she didn't earn them.
Perhaps they were desperately trying in their last few years where they could control her to get her on track. I can't imagine what it must be like to realize your child is "different" in such a mean and nasty way. Surely they saw the narcissism, even if they didn't have a name for it. They may have been desperately trying to get her on track and didn't know what else to do but be very strict and not give her any privileges. Perhaps they thought they had "spoiled" her before and that's why she acted like that so they withdrew cold turkey and treated home life like boot camp. A perfectly understandable thing.
Kate's whoa is me I never had anything may have just been two parents desperate to fix her.
