There she goes again--dropping that pronoun. WHO worked on Halloween costumes all day? Not Kate or she would have said so!
Grandson just walked in with his skeleton zombie costume on. Scary face. Probably the same kind of face the tups saw when Kate was beating the crap out of them. Gotta go enjoy the day with my grandson.

I'm still an @Keuring coffee maker. If anyone needs a a pick-me-up after imbibing too much Rumspringa, coffee is brewed and ready. I have plenty of @Coffeemate, but if anyone likes sweetener in your coffee--sorry, I forgot to bring any. Perhaps whoever came as Steve can run to @Target and purchase some. I'm sure there a gift card laying around somewhere.

I am coming as a half lit Christmas tree, carrying a bag of grifted lights given to me by my hairdresser, but I was too lazy to put them on.

She is a Cow--are you "half lit" because you don't have enough lights, or because you imbibed too much Rumspringa?(sorry-couldn't resist).

Very interesting (and convenient) that Kate can't twit on Halloween night. So, no Halloween "diaries" so don't ask and no pics so don't ask. I'm betting Kate got out of Twitter jail as conveniently as she got sciatica. Where would the kids go besides their basement for trick or treating? Kate's not going to drive the kids to Steve's neighborhood and apparently, the school party was last week.
BTW, last night I was dressed up as a pair of gladiator sandals with a big toe hanging over the end.

Kate tweeted this picture on Monday night when they had ice cream during #superfunsandy and I know it was discussed but when you have a bowl of ice-cream does it look like that or does it look like scoops of ice cream in the bowl? Does she portion it out, let it partially melt and then refreeze it? Very weird looking bowl of ice cream.

That' what my ice cream looks like when I scoop it. I dont use a round ice cream scoop, I have a big stainless spoon that I kind of scrape off layers out of the tub with. (shrugs)

Ditto. Mine looks just like that. I use the big stainless spoon, too. The ice cream just comes out in big chunks like that. One of these days I'll try using a scoop and shock the heck out of everyone.

BUT--someone on twitter tweeted at 7:58pm ET:
"I just gave candy to the Gosselin kids! And Jon Gosselin thanked me! OMG 😱 star struck!"
Only an hour left until the costume party contest is over!
The ice cream looks normal to me. If you have one of those big, flat-ish spoons it looks like that. They're easier to scoop, imo.
Also, the ice cream looks like it's a cheaper one (nothing wrong with that) that's got a lot of air pumped into it for volume.
BUT--someone on twitter tweeted at 7:58pm ET:
"I just gave candy to the Gosselin kids! And Jon Gosselin thanked me! OMG 😱 star struck!"

BAW- Haha.
Twitter jail my ass. She just wasn't with the kids so she didn't need her twitter to soothe the pain. She probably watched her DVR of the Voice for four hours all night by herself with her boxed wine.
Will she EVER give Jon credit? EVER? Does she know how far it would go in making her look like a loving and accepting single parent if she would just say the kids had a wonderful Halloween with their dad?
"I just gave candy to the Gosselin kids! And Jon Gosselin thanked me! OMG �� star struck!"
*****
Oh snap, and we "speculate" all the time. Heck, child, we called this one last week.
ps.... yay for getting the kids out for Halloween and you go Jon! This is what memories are made of.
Remember last week she said she THINKS the kids are going trick or treating??
Now why would you think that if the kids are with you? Wouldn't you know? That's what we "speculated" last week, that Jon has them.
But then I guess she couldn't keep her lies straight and started ramping up the implication that "the kids are with me and Halloween is super fun!" tweets.
I just gave candy to the Gosselin kids! And Jon Gosselin thanked me! OMG �� star struck!"
******************************
Well, if that's true - and I'll assume it is - that's awesome.
Amazing how he can manage to take a troupe of kids trick-or-treating without causing massive "chaos", isn't it? No wonder she wasn't tweeting - no kids, no tweets, because she's off the clock.
There's no way she would ever go out to do that anyway - someone might actually look at her or brush against her...
Jon didn't stay in the car??
Hi All - believe it or not I just got power back last night. I think we were the only people in our neighborhood without power! but anyway -
I'm dressed up as Shoka in a Nala costume. I'm carrying my superfun toys, some easter eggs and at least 4 loaves of yummy bread someone left out.
I know it's a day late but this is how us invisible dogs handle halloween!
-Buttercup
Well Kate didn't take the kids last year TrT so I doubted she would this year.
And I was right I wonder will she does the lame basement candy thing again.
Now the "Twitter jail" seems extra pathetic and if Kate really has to cover her life with misdirection instead of the truth, then I'm feeling so sorry for the kids.
But... hopeful for them that Jon is increasingly present in their lives. I'm sure he's their touchstone and soft place to fall.
Liz also tweeted a picture of one of the boys with her dog. She tweeted it a 1am this morning-don't know if it was taken yesterday or not, but it kind of fits if Jon had the kids.

Hilarious!! So glad Jon had the kids so they could enjoy themselves.
The sheeple won't believe it though. They'll need to see the tweet for themselves. Then they'll have to scrounge up some excuse. Seems Jon has had the kids a lot lately, like...50% of the time?!??!
I don't like that Liz is showing pics of the kids either but I get the feeling she doesn't understand how exploited they really have been. I doubt she follows Kate that closely on twitter. I think Liz is acting like any other friend and mom who likes to post cute pics. Millions do it every day on facebook, instagram, and so on. It's just these kids have had their privacy so violated that any little pic is just a piling on.
That said she really takes beautiful photos. I love it. At least the kids will have some good photos from childhood. And that photo coupled with the random PA person seeing Jon with the kids, I think we know exactly where these kids were while Kate was in Twitter jail, code for KID FREEDOM!
I missed the party :( waaa. I was with you in 'spirit' though haha. I tried to make it but my costume was a gorgeous Scott Kluth designer pink slip. Hubs liked it so much he said I couldn't go anywhere in it and he made me take it off...tee hee.
You guys have some cleaning up to do. There's empty Rumspringa bottles and ostrich feathers all over the place. And why is there only one piece of pizza left!!?
Liz also tweeted a picture of one of the boys with her dog.
****************
Does she post pics of her own kids, too?
I just wondered. With millions of people posting candid pics from phones (candid, mind you, not fake-candid like Kate's), maybe she's just doing the same thing like everyone else since she doesn't say who, or where, etc. Kate's are always pretty clearly for self-promotion.
It's kind of catch-22 with them, isn't it - they (Liz/Jon) probably take pics with phones like all the rest of us and everyone else we know, but can't share the joy of it without it being suspicious. She probably shouldn't do it right now but I think eventually no one will blink an eye, as Kate fades away completely.
I love how Kate throws out the term "twitter jail". She said she couldn't tweet or read from her Iphone--yet she could tweet on her computer(the tweet said it was tweeted "from the web").
Just another excuse why she was not tweeting. She doesn't even understand what "twitter jail" means.
I looked at the tweets from the person who tweeted she handed out candy to the kids. She apparently is a teenager, and she refers to "wyo" a lot. I am assuming that she lives in Wyommising. Some of her friends have also referred to "Berks". So I believe that tweet is legitimate.

I agree. I' m very uncomfortable with it and question her motivation - dare I hope that it's innocent?
I have to LOL, though. The pic of the dog licking ?Collin would probably give Kate a case of apoplexy - didn't she once say something about a dog NEVER being allowed to lick her because of the (horrors!) germs? Anyway, the pic is cute and loving (I so wish that the kids had a relationship like this with Shoka), but I soooo wish Liz would keep them private!

&&&
That's kind of how I feel, it's a real darn shame that no one can share cute, candid moments of the kids since they've been so darn exploited that it becomes a piling on. If these kids were nobody, it wouldn't be a problem to tweet cute pics like lots of other people do every day all over the internet. I wouldn't call any of those kids exploited unless the person posting them starts revealing personal information or does it excessively. But for the Gosselin kids, ANYTHING right now exploits them since they have had their privacy so violently stripped away for the past six years.
It's just another "normal" thing Kate has absolutely destroyed for them.
We don't know if Liz posts the pics with Jon's approval.
One thing to note is that Liz's photos are either oblique or blurry. A good rule for posting publicly is that you shouldn't be able to pick that person out of a lineup.
Liz's pics of a boy with the dog and a girl tup with the dog are nothing you could identify exactly who they are, or which tup they are, or what exactly they look like right now after more than a year off tv.
I don't think she had the kids at all during the whole storm. Did she tweet any photos of them? Current. We know the dog picture is not current. She claimed that Mady was with her and the ice cream, but she's not in the picture. If anything, I think she only had the twins. I think the little kids spend a lot more time with dad now.
Reading through some of her tweets, she is nuts. She spent the time tweeting so that she could get attention and simpathy. Thus, making things sound worse than they were, freaking out and sleeping in the basement, etc. The whole, Oh the power's not out right this second. Yet. Ugh.
At one point she tweeted that they were watching Disney at 11pm. I call bs on that unless it was just the twins. I doubt the little kids would still be awake that late. More likely that they would have passed out earlier.
I took a look at Liz's picture. Now that is what a boy and his dog should look like -- lounging together, using the dog as a prop and dog clearly loving every minute of it. No sitting in a line on a tape marker to avoid soiling a washable rug. Just relaxation, fun and love. I'm sort of getting the feeling that Liz is tweeting these pix to prove that KK is lying in her teeth and that Jon has the kids much more often than (some) people believe. A picture is worth a thousand words, after all.
Sorry so late but as I went as a box 'o wine, I am moving abit slow this morning.

Or Kate got the costumes together and Jon took them trick or treating. That would make sense if she had them this weekend and he was picking them up tonight after work. That's how hand offs usually worked in our family.
Sorry, long time poster from the beginning and definitely not a Kate fan but sometimes there's a tendency to see conspiracies where there are none. This sounds like a pretty typical shared custody scenario to me.
Kate's little fantasy of "I always have the kids and Jon has passed away" really speaks to her mental illness. It's just pathological, and frankly, creepy for lack of a better word.
Who CARES if the kids are with Jon, guess what that's what happens in divorce, they go to dad sometimes and it's not a big deal. You miss holidays with them sometimes, oh well you make it up on a different day.
I know she has this whole idea that she can't be a super mom unless she pathologically pretends she has the kids all the time, but I don't know where in the world she gets that from. If anything admitting what the real situation is would just make her look like a martyr to her fans. As in, poor Kate can't be with the kids all the time but she is a loving, sacrificing soul who really wants to encourage and support a healthy relationship with their dad because she herself lacked that so much as a child, and it's hard and she sheds many tears, but she does it because it's what is best for them, always putting them first. And then rejoices when they come home and treasures their time together. Until the next painful moment where she has to let them go again, because she believes so strongly in being the martyr for the family and "letting" Jon be around.
Why she doesn't understand this is exactly how it would be spun and that she would actually come out the hero, is beyond me.

No one is seeing a conspiracy theory. Just pointing out that Kate absolutely refuses to acknowledge that the kids were with Jon yesterday.
She tweeted dozens of times about Halloween but never once mentioned oh and by the way they will be with Jon for the actual trick or treating. She intentionally left that out, come on. The tweeties even specifically asked her about trick or treating and she again, conveniently and intentionally, left out that Jon was to have them. When is the last time she admitted they were with Jon? It's been MONTHS. Going by her tweets alone gosh you would think Jon died.
She intentionally has parceled him out of their lives and intentionally implies the kids are with her. This is not a conspiracy theory, it's just a fact. And it's really sick and deranged.

Yes, and that pic shows a relaxed little boy and a happy pup...two things I've never seen in a photo taken by his mother.
In your face Kate.
Yea! #SuperfundayafterHalloweensales! So let's all go and stock up on Halloween candy to use next year, dontcha know! Be sure to get costumes on sale that fit your kids this year,.and next year they will just have to squeeze into them!
I do not believe anything Ms Kreider tweets. No dog on premises. No chickens either. No kids with her during storm or on Halloween night. She already had a generator. She does NOT love her twits.. Er, tweeters!

The thing is, Kate allows her tweeties to think she has the kids all the time. She never corrects their mistaken idea that Jon is a deadbeat dad with no job and who isn't involved with his kids.
Being able to see proof of what we know to be the truth is reason to snark a bit, imo.
Holy Crap just saw a news alert, Graham Spanier charged!! (Penn State president)
Are they finally going to prosecute EVERYONE who was involved in this and not just rest on the media spin that they got the bad guy and all is better now?

Liz's posting of pictures is actually just real life, and she doesn't name names or anything like that ether. If people were not following her because they know who SHE is, it would not be be a big deal at all. Maybe she should be left alone, not the other way.
And snap, we sure called Halloween, trick or treating with Dad. The twiiter jail comment is pure crapola, as is the costume making nonsense. I am willing to bet real $$ that Dad/Liz took care of costumes awhile ago, while Mommie Dearest was hiding/filming/playing, so the kids had something for the school party. K8 is a faux/foul person of the highest order.

Amen. She lets them think Jon is a deadbeat and that is horribly wrong and terrible for these children who love him. Look how relaxed that precious boy and girl were at his house. They are relaxed and happy with their daddy and Kate won't admit it. Even Jon says nice things about her, why can't she just let this go and accept his role for what it is?
Great news about Spanier!! Tom Corbett needs to be next. He's been really trying to cover himself lately in the news media in PA. Hubby reads Penn Live every day since he's from that area.
One of the biggest piles of B.S. is that that principal is still at that school.
She needs to go next. And I don't mean just fired.
We decided to wait till about 3 to go downtown. Event isnt until 6...
So I changed my costume. It is very heavy! I have reams of copy paper chained all over me, including one on my head, and one across my mouth! The chains are heavy iron with big keyed padlocks on them. I lug these 100s of reams of paper wherever I go. Following behind me are lawyers in the disguise of Laverne and Shirley (lively and singer?) with uzis aimed at my children, my hunnybunny, my dogs, my mother's pension checks, my underwear drawer, and my pet parakeet. The sheets of copy paper chained to me flutter in the breeze, but the chains are still holding for me.
I am Kate's confidentiality agreements. And I am covered in the Gkids blood, tears, and bruises.
Spanier had email conversations about reporting this all to CPS but ultimately was involved in agreeing not to report it. Why this tool isn't in jail already I have no idea.

"When is the last time she admitted they were with Jon?"
I believe it was on July 4, when she lied and said it was her FIRST summer holiday without the kids, since the previous year(2011) she tweeted that they were with Jon also.
"GN, all. Spent my 1st summer holiday EVER (my 1st full holiday period,I think) w/o my kids..but happy they got extra X 2 spend w/their dad!”"
Jul 5
Yes it's been a LONG time hasn't it?
Also the whole my first full holiday ever? Gimme a break. Standard custody arrangements alternate holidays. You don't just never get a full holiday, that's insane. I suppose being Kate she counts the entire week leading up to Halloween or Labor day or Easter as part of the holiday, therefore if Jon got them on that day it was not the "full" holiday. She's psycho.
Thanks to those who left kind comments. My basement isn't bad other than the pain of wet- vac-ing now that the power is on, as it tends to flood in heavy rain so we are prepared with the appliances up on concrete blocks...it's the tree that fell on out house and fence that's the worst- apparently our insurance pays even though it was the neighbor's tree.That does not make sense, but we can't move it until assessed so that means the dog going out the unfenced front, and bringing trash bins through the house!
Now, about to call the insurance about my car deductible from Sept!! Aaargh! At least everyone here is safe.

I learned yesterday to take lots of breaks when moping my basement with bleach, due to fumes. Ugh. And it hasnt stopped raining yet at all so this morning I have a bit more water down there. Lovely. At least our trees had the common decency to fall only on our property and not hit anything except each other.
I have been visiting the Gosselin site for years. I have agreed with most but not all the commenters beliefs or theories. The reason I started posting was because I wanted to sometimes give a different opinion. And I really haven't done that but I think I will before I return as a lurker!
1. Liz ( I can't believe I know her name ) puts out a picture of one of he kids but can't say where is Shoka! What is Kate going to do if she tells, hit her? Come on!
2. Why do some regulars here think Jon is the one who wants more custody, and not Kate not wanting them anymore? If the kids were with Jon last night where was Kate, not alone! Why should we care where she was because her web of lies all tie together and I still think she needs to be exposed!

The ice cream looks weird at the bottom of the bowl kind of like it it melted a bit and was formed to the bottom of the bowl and then refrozen which is why I thought it looked odd. I wasn't really talking about the scoop of ice cream itself. Sorry I just looked at it differently than you guys did. My bad I guess.

&&&&&&&&&&&&
NJ, I thought the same thing when I first looked at the pic, but today I got a better look at it and realized that what originally looked like melted ice cream at the bottom was really the bowl - it's 2 shades of wood; dark brown on the bottom and then lighter up the sides. (wood bowls for ice cream may seem an odd choice, but I guess the wood might insulate their hands from the cold)
Well, I don't think conspiracy theory either, I just think Kate is a lier.
I'm starting to think that whatever she posts on twitter is the opposite of what is really happening. JMO.
What really doesn't make sense, and why I think she is lying, is if the kids school had their halloween party last Thursday, they would have costumes already. Are the kids allowed to wear costumes to school on Halloween? Cuz then why would Kate be out shopping for costumes during the day on Halloween getting things ready if they needed costumes to wear to school that day? They would already have them.
This is not to mention any local Halloween activities, which in my town were all the Saturday before Halloween.
Either the kids missed out on all these activities (school party, etc), and Kate did indeed "create" buy the costumes and things during the day on Halloween as she said; which is sad because it means that they missed out because she was too busy filming the week prior to get things ready for them.
Or she's lying.
WHY she would lie is beyond me.

I think Jon knows exactly what Liz tweets. When Jon was dating Ellen and his twitter was public he used that tweeter like it was a phone call! He would send messages to Ellen, and sometimes I felt like it should be a private message.
I think from day one to the present Jon and Kate have played us like violins! And all these cat and mouse games really do sicken me! Grow up!!

The reason Kate was in "twitter jail" according to Deanna:
paige_kate8fan
RT@deannatweeting Spoke with @KatePlusMy8 and she can't access twitter because of service in her area--she will be back ASAP.
Spanier had email conversations about reporting this all to CPS but ultimately was involved in agreeing not to report it. Why this tool isn't in jail already I have no idea.
---------------
Spanier faces eight charges, three of which are felonies. Curley and Schultz got two more charges against them. Sandusky was moved to Greene State Prison, where he is alone in his cell, under protective custody and he's not allowed to have his meals with the other inmates. He is allowed three showers a week and one-hour exercise periods outside his cell five times a week. This is a maximum security prison that houses death row inmates.
I hope the other three join him.

OK, so Sandy wasn't an event in Kate's little part of the world, but 2 whole days later she loses cell phone service?
Nah.
This is getting sadder by the moment.
OK, I "speculate" that Kate's twitter service will return when the kids come back.

One of the biggest piles of B.S. is that that principal is still at that school.
She needs to go next. And I don't mean just fired.

It's absolutely unfathomable that she hasn't been charged in this. I don't care what kind of charmer that disgusting pig Sandusky was, her first duty was to call Youth Services the second Fischer told her he had been sexually assaulted and not only did not do that she tried to talk him into rethinking what he was saying. WHY is she still anywhere near children? She's irresponsible. If I was a parent of a student at that school I'd raising holy hell.
correction ... I'd BE raising holy hell.

Let's Throw Tomatoes, I am inclined to agree with you that Jon knows what Liz tweets, BUT unlike you, I don't see what Liz is posting as a bad thing.
If you stop and really think about how much KK lies on her twitter, it must be an incredibly frustrating thing for Jon and Liz to deal with. KK tweets things that imply the kids are all with her, and yet there are the tups in Jon's house relaxed and loving on and being loved by the dogs! Kate implies that she is taking the children trick-or-tweeting......yet there Jon is, actually with the kids, knocking on doors.
The occasional photos that Liz posts are a subtle way of letting everyone know that KK is lying, without getting into a nasty twitter war with her! As long as Liz posts an occasional photo, and doesn't get into KK-like twitters of their every move, I just can't be mad at her (or Jon)!

I hope you all know me well enough to know that I am not trying to start a fight, but please allow me to be devil's advocate for a mo.
Let's reverse the situation. Let's Jon is doing media tours and blogging away about how hard it is taking care of 8 kids and making ends meet without any help from their mother. He has to do everything, all the cooking, cleaning, coupon clipping, driving, plus make time for his ongoing media contact and his $800 dollar italian silk suits. Complain complain, Kate did this wrong, kate did that wrong, she doesnt deserve to be their mother since she only sees them 4 times a month.
Meanwhile, Kate is quiet, working her shifts as a nurse, trying to protect her kids privacy, and trying to keep her mouth shut. And a few times, a friend has leaked one or two homegrown pics of the kids at Kate's house, looking like - well, like real kids. No show-your-teeth, pose for the camera, how much can I sell this picture for, but a fuzzy home pic.
What would we think? What would the sheeple think? Or is anyone feeling like I am, that it is too much of a stretch to even imagine it like that?
I am not trying to fight with anyone, just have a discussion, I swear.

Awww, Tucker's Mom...just talk to 'em - even the recorded calls. Extremely stress relieving. After all it's not like you can insult a recording :) If you get a real live human then it can REALLY get fun. You can ask them what they DO during that 5 second silence after you say "Hello?" Are they fixing their hair, makeup, just what? Then take it from there...the nicer you are (just never say "yes") the longer you can keep them on the phone and muck up their call quota.
I view it as a community service. If they are on the phone with me that;s keeping other safe from their call. I had fun with a 3 question survey just this morning...let's put it this way, if it's a political call, I'm "for" the opposite party/candidate. Or, and personally this is a favorite, I'm fond of the "Oh. Shootsky Sweetie. Wish you had called earlier. I already voted. Can I vote again and vote for your guy/gal?"

Kate Gosselin@Kateplusmy8 10 min ago 2:10 pm
Hi guys.no twitter still on my phone so rare trip2laptop2say "hello".. hope all r well&moving towards 'pre Sandy' xo
Has she not seen New Orleans lately? Know the wish they were 'pre Katrina'. Reality? Not in her world.
Just logged on. Been off since lasy night. Now I'll go back and catch up.
Just took a look at the Radaronline pics. Goodness! What the heck is wrong with her?
Does she think it's "cool" to only scowl at the photog? Especially when it's one she called herself.
Who's gonna look at those photos and think, "Hmmm, she looks interesting. Just the kind of person I want in my project. I'll think I'll give her a call."
Or, are they going to see those pics and think, "God, what a witch. Note to self: do not hire that woman for ANYTHING."
You don't think she's lost her 99,999thpinkiphone?
I looked at both photos Liz tweeted. I couldn't tell you which of the kids they were. Both were obstructed and not full face. No way someone would randomly see those photos and think "Gosselins" if they didn't already know.
That said, I agree with whoever said she's using these photos to make a point -- that Jon has the kids way more than Kate claims. I can understand that desire to stand up for your boyfriend. Still think they should both just stay silent, though. Kate is hanging herself.
She does look very thin and aged. Dressed decently though!
Still implying that she took the kids trick or treating:
xxxxxxxx
@Kateplusmy8 Hey Kate! Did the kids have a good Halloween? Have a great day!
Kate Gosselin
@xxxx yes. lots of candy for my cute trick or treaters! I had fun making costumes using our favorite patterns of duct tape...:)
I think I can tell which kids they are but don't they look relaxed for once and enjoying the dogs. Quite different from the posed in-a-line twit pics Kate tweets.

I think I really am, Remona. But first I tried reversing it in my head. So I wonder: would we be saying that a mother would have no right to occasionally post a blurry homegrown pic of one of her children doing something completely peaceful and happy and unstaged? Or is it the "Liz factor" that some might object to? The whole thing just go me wondering about gender roles in this debacle. And what would sheeple think of Jon's parenting if he was trying to make a career of taking the credit for the hired hands that raise his kids and run his household?
I already know the answer, I think. In sheeple eyes, Kate's womb = Kate's chattle. Sperm donors are to be discarded of in the most painful way possible.
But what about the pics? Would be begrudge a mother occasionally posting through a friend such sweet blurry pics?

*************
She was dressed nice, and proper boots for post-hurricane too! Although it is so cold by my, I was shocked to see her without a coat on.
Does anyone think she looks anemic or like she isnt getting enough oxygen, or like there is something cardiac going on? She looks grey and not in a Halloween fun way.
My .02 cents regarding the two pics recently posted on the gf's twitter:
Considering these kids have been public entertainment fodder since they were born, *any* pics of these kids posted on the internet are done for a purpose..usually between the two parents to discredit the other. While I see her point in doing it to show their mother lies, I think that two wrongs don't make a right. These kids have been public fodder too long. It's time to let them have some peace. As Dwindle said in her post, not trying to pick a fight, it's just my opinion.
:)
I agree it is never to late for the children who were not compensated for their WORK and not protected from BEATINGS to file suit. Less than six years, even less for any who file to be emancipated minors.
Hopefully it isn't too late for those that gave donations based on misleading financial state of the recipient to file a lawsuit.

Good for you! It's not at all sad to admit. I've chatted with the lady who calls every month about a clothing donation to the National Kidney Foundation. She's a sweetheart. She's calling from a list, knows my name (although she calls me "honey") and isn't trying to scam me or scare me (like the so-called FBI stats on rising crime "in my area"). That and she never calls during the dinner hour:)

Wow, I am a really bad writer. Believe me I am more coherent when I carry a conversation.
Ramona and Dwindle, I'm not upset about the pictures that Liz posts, I actually think that's a good idea! What upsets me is if she can post a picture why can't Liz tweet how Shoka is doing or where he is. I understand Kate , she is a bitch and playing games, but Jon and Liz both know and won't tell!
Shoka, to me , is the nutshell of all the lies and misinterpretations of the Gosselin story! Who are these people who think everything is a joke??
That is why I'm one who believes that they have been rewarded with money and fame for being absolutely sh** heads! And I don't want an argument I'm just expressing my thoughts!
Let's Throw Tomatoes

*****
It really upsets me too. I just don't know if Liz should be the de facto "snitch" if you will, regarding the web of lies that Kate spins.
I think Liz knows way, way, way more than she's Tweeted, so by way of that, I think she's shown great restraint.
I think anyone who chooses to become mired in Jon/ Kate's world pre and post divorce has to be brave or stupid, and I'm thinking Liz is the former. And that's probably in the name of really loving those gorgeous kids.
Just throwing this out there. My daughter is out east and is having trouble getting servlce on her cell phone since the hurricane. It is not unlikely that Kate is also having trouble since she lives closer to the center of the hurricane than my daughter.
Marie
At this point in the whole Gosselin saga, anyone who tweets pictures or posts pictures on the web for the general public to see of the Gosselin children is not looking out for the best interest of the children IMO. Exactly what is the point of Liz posting these pictures? Her twitter account is not private. She knows that these pictures will generate interest.
Marie
Marie--that is most likely the situation. I had trouble getting cell service the last couple of days and still have intermittent trouble.
However, Kate is just using that as an excuse not to tweet. She can use her laptop(as she did today) to tweet-she doesn't need her phone.
That's true, she can use her laptop but in her case I think it's probably a case of laziness. She has to walk ALL the way to her laptop to tweet. How troublesome :)

I think it's a wink and a nod that Jon has the kids and here's how it helps them-- the kids know that Jon loves them and maybe it would be a good thing for them to have the public move past the douche-dad, Ed Hardy, skirt-chasing image to one of dad who is doing his job financially, spiritually, physically and emotionally.
Kate sure as heck isn't going to do that, even thought it would be the right thing to do. She'd rather make it all about her and her struggles raising 8 kids alone with a dad who either doesn't want to see them as much as he could, or a dad who is financially a dead beat.
Maybe Liz is saying, "see, this is what normal looks like and the kids are content and happy when they're with Jon/us, so don't think just because Kate never mentions that Jon sees the kids (a lot), that they don't-because they certainly do"
I think it's subtle and effective.
No need to line them all up in matching outfits, lined up on tape on the floor. Just natural, happy, serene and RELAXED.
I guess I'm one of the few who thinks that neither Liz nor Jon should comment about the dog. They have been relatively quiet about everything and that's the way it should be. To talk about Shoka's whereabouts would just open up the dog saga to more questioning, more speculation, more rumors, and nobody would be happy. I can understand that they don't want to get into all of that. The dog lives (lived) with Kate. Let her answer the question. Robert put the question to her. Tweeties have been asking, but she refuses to give a straight answer. It's not Jon's business to step in and answer.
"Wow, I am a really bad writer. Believe me I am more coherent when I carry a conversation."

Sorry if I'm confused here (I get the posters mixed up sometimes), but aren't you (or past tense) a school teacher?
I forgot to ask everyone how " Trick or Treat " went in your neighborhood. I only had 2 kids come by and they were about 14 or 15! Is Halloween becoming an adult holiday or small towns still participating? Just curious!
I miss the old Halloween way. I live in LA but its still a neighborhood.
My heart breaks for all the kids in the disaster area, hopefully they were able to do something they enjoyed!
Let's Throw Tomatoes
Flight - I just got the FBI stats about crime in my area last night. What the heck are they "selling" for just a sign in my yard. I hung up before they finished.
And really good, calm, well-reasoned discussion on Liz's tweeting the kids' photos. See Sheeple, this is how you can disagree respectfully. And they call us haters. Sheesh.
We had a lot, but not as many as usual. We often get some driven from apt complexes in the next town as our neighborhood has music, scary themes, and is safe. I sent a lot of extra candy to work with my DH and some put away for lunches- to -go.
All were polite but one boy who threw his candy back and said he wanted a different kind from my assortment. I felt like Kate saying You get what you get...lol
Tuckers Mom . . . It is nice to see the kids looking happy and relaxed. I guess at this point, they have been used so much in the past, it is hard to see anything positive about posting pictures of them or thinking that someone, again, is taking advantage of their innocence.
Marie
Tomatoes - We had a smaller than usual group of trick or treaters last night. The dog was very disappointed as he believes everyone at the front door has arrived to greet him. I gave each child an extra piece of candy if they agreed to pet him. Made his night. By 9 p.m. he was still sitting in front of the door crying for more visitors. I tried to put a costume on him. Haha, no way. Other dachschund owners will likely agree that there's no way to get one to do something if they don't want to. He rolled and chewed his way out of it.
Unfortunately, I think there were few if any trick or treaters on LI. There are still plenty of trees and wires down, and most communities strongly recommended that children not go, even during the daylight hours. There are also children who had to evacuate their homes, and didn't have time to worry about costumes or trick or treating.
Too bad that Kate couldn't even acknowledge the children who unfortunately couldn't enjoy the holiday.

I think those comments express what I think. Subtle and effective and I appreciate seeing the truth. Even though it is really annoying to not know for certain about Shoka, I'm with whoever (sorry, I forgot who said) that believes it really isn't the responsibility of Liz to be the ''snitch'' about Shoka.

We didn't have as many trick or treaters last night either. I guess we had about 250..I think it's due to church activities on Wed night, and there were probably festivities held onsite. In yrs past we have had TRAILERS of kids come in the subdivision. With or without costumes, that's pretty scary,LOL.

No need to get defensive. My question wasn't antagonistic. You said you were a bad writer, and I just asked! What does writing have to do with teaching? Don't they teach English grammar and spelling anymore? Don't they teach punctuation? Don't they teach composition? All of that involves writing. I would think that writing has everything to do with teaching, and involves more than filling out a comments section on a report card, but what do I know? :)

As a matter of fact , the first week of school I would make a silly,silly mistake that the kids would catch (in Kdg. It had to be realllllly silly ) and I would say " see even teachers make mistakes " because I didn't want them to fear making mistakes and to at least try!

Let's throw tomatoes: we had a huge amount of trick or treaters. We just moved this year into this new neighborhood with a lot of young families. I have not ever seen so many. The parents were dressed up as well, they had chairs in the yard to watch, they had tables decorated with orange lights for the goodies, lots of lights on houses and trees, very festive. All the kids were well mannered and said thank you. At one point, I had 20 kids at the same time!! I ran out of candy and went scouring for extras and began giving away individually wrapped fiber one brownies --lol-- and believe it or not the kids thought they had hit the mother lode.
I was really wishing I could have my 4 year old grandson to take around but his family doesn't approve of Halloween.

"You are probably confusing a teacher with a lawyer !"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Well, there are attorneys who are professors, so I guess it's possible to be both! Oh, yes, it is!
Other than that, I'm not aware of anyone who confuses those two professions!
When I read Paige's little essay that she posted online, I was horrified at her writing skills and found it hard to believe that she got "stickers" for that literary mess. I was equally disturbed at the teacher for not returning it ungraded with instructions for a re-write. When teachers can't teach writing, how is the student supposed to learn? I think that's one of the dilemmas in our school system today. Colleges are graduating students who write on the level of fourth grade. What should professors do? Fail them? By the time they get to college, it's too late, and so they graduate and become teachers. Many of them can't teach writing because they never learned it themselves.
On another note, the bodies of the two Staten Island boys were found in a marsh. The children were swept away from their mother during the hurricane. Apparently she had knocked on the door of neighbors and nobody would come to her assistance. What a sad, devastating story.
At the very least, Liz's account should be private if she is going to post pics of the Gosselin children. That would be classier and more respectful of the children. There's NO good reason to post pics of them in a public forum.
Why are there no pics of Liz's own children posted on her twitter account? Hmmmmmm...
Dwindle 88 - I think if the situation was reversed, we'd all be coming down hard on Jon. He'd be right up there with Michael Lohan, in my book (both Michael and Dina Lohan are screwed up in my book. Their poor kids!).
I haven't been visiting for a while and have not been keeping up with Kate's recent Halloween tweets. My reply to She implies that she is taking the kids trick or treating, doesn't she? was based solely on that one Kate tweet that was being discussed.
I, too, agree that Kate should just own up to the fact that her kids are with their Dad 50% of the time. I think most people wouldn't care and her fans would eat it up, as you said, Admin.
Liz's tweeted picture was very cute and sweet. It is nice to see that the kids have another home to enjoy. It is nice that Jon is dating a woman who has her own kids and goes through the same things he does (being a divorced parent, etc.). It also bodes well that this relationship may last. Unlike other women he's dated, Liz likely isn't going to want more kids. She's lived some life, has experience. She can meet Jon where he's at better than other women he's dated, I think.
I think that one or two tweeted pictures is fine. I'm not sure, haven't read enough but is it more than that? Is she tweeting every day? That I'd have an issue with, whether it was the Gosselin kids or any other.

"Yep. I mentioned a possible breast reduction & lift at the time of her last running event. Others suggested something similar for her WWHL appearance. This outfit seems to confirm those suspicions."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I know absolutely nothing about reductions/enhancements or lifts, but how many times can a woman fool around with those things before they have problems, such as one becoming misshapen or much larger than the other? Is this a lifelong maintenance experience and expense?
Liz has over 100 pics on her Instagram account but they are protected. Maybe some of those include the Gosselin kids and her kids, who knows.
Bubbles 140 - Well said. I didn't realize she wasn't tweeting pics of her own kids. That is a good question.

Rainbows, yes I am a teacher! What does writing have to do with teaching??
________________________________________________
Not to offend but...
You are kidding, right? Writing has EVERYTHING to do with teaching! We have to teach writing across the curriculum...in math, science, social studies, reading, etc. Writing is a large part of our yearly assessment tests.
Writing is an integral part of teaching. (4th grade teacher for 21 years by the way...)
I honestly can't believe a teacher would make that comment!
Interesting that Liz sees herself as the "great mother of all" (her twitter id is @LJisGaia)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_%28mythology%29
Jon just can't get enough of narcissistic women apparently!
Somehow, Kate must believe it makes her look better when she does not admit that the children are with their dad. Always has to look good, don't you know? Horrible picture at ROL.
The sheeple were begging since last night to see pictures of the kids in their costumes. It's almost as if they are saying that they have supported Kate, they are her biggest fans, they were her loyal viewers, they are best tweetie friends and that they therefore DESERVE to see photos. That bothers me. They think she owes them something.
Kate started this nonsense and now she's going to be the one who ends it. As her fans demand more and more attention, either by having Kate post photos, or in the case of Milo, pestering to know what she's doing every minute (what's for dinner...what's on the list to do today?), Kate's going to be caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place.
Where will it end, and will the sheeple turn on her when she doesn't acquiesce to their demands?
Rainbowsandunicorns@ 127
Don't they teach English grammar and spelling anymore? Don't they teach punctuation? Don't they teach composition? All of that involves writing. I would think that writing has everything to do with teaching, and involves more than filling out a comments section on a report card, but what do I know? :)
________________________________________________
Yes! Yes! Yes! I am a fourth grade teacher and we teach all of that. I am just absolutely shaking my head over that comment! Oh, yes I am;)

Oh good grief!! Thank goodness that Jon got rid of the most narcissistic woman on earth. Compared to KK, snarking on the choice Liz made for a twitter id is really reaching. Oh yes it is!!

Kate's looking rough-(woof)but she must have her good bra on.
Or she was in LA for those nine days vising the boob doctor.

@@@@@@
I thought that the poster was kidding, too, and wasn't sure how to respond...especially the part about only having to write comments in a block on the report card. But, you just never know!
If you don't teach writing skills in the subjects you mentioned, then how do you teach the subject and the follow-up activities/lessons that accompany them? You can't do that at a parent-teacher conference!

=================
Maybe Kate should have been invited to our Halloween party last night. There was plenty of food and she could have come as herself. She would have had the most authentic costume here!

Well I heard the teeth are fake to so I don't think they can hold that lying tongue of Kate's.
Did I miss the announcement of the winners of the gift cards? It's way past 12 PM EST, and I haven't seen it. Who won? Was it our fake Kate? Shoka in his Nala suit? Our Keurig coffee maker? The box o' wine(whine)?
Is there another new thread? Can't find any post for today. Last post was from 2:50 am. Dying to know who won the contest. All the costumes were great. Oh, I sooo hope Kate reads here.
Thanks for making my 1st party so much fun. Love, love, love this blog.
When I saw Liz's twitter handle, I took it to mean that she was a Wicca practitioner. Many of them reference Gaia. I don't think it's intended to be narcissistic.

LOL, so true.
I can't stand a liar. I may not like what someone (not referring to anyone here, just in general) has to say, just do not LIE.
My teacher wrote a note home for my parents. It was to say I had displeased my teacher in class. My mother read the note, went to her desk, got a red pen and circled all the spelling and grammatical errors in the note and sent it back to school with me.
I thought it was hysterically funny but the teacher was not amused. Suddenly she decided this clash was between the two of us, and my mother had no place in it.
What made it worse was that she was my ENGLISH
teacher.
I am being completely serious.
For someone who 'de-ages', those Radaronline pics are horrible.
she looks 10 yrs older than she really is.
blech
Kate's teeth are starting to look like buck teeth! I guess her mouth has shriveled with weight loss and the veneers do not fit now...
Wow, Kate looks HORRIBLE these days! Say what you want about Michelle Duggar but for 46 she looks pretty great! Next to her Kate could easily be the one who's 10 years older, 15 even.
I would be HORRIFIED to see a pic of myself looking like that, her skin is so sagged and old looking.
Pic of Kate's use of duct tape.
http://img.ly/pd4g
Last week my son brought home his spelling homework (grade 3), 2 of the words were spelled completely wrong... and I'm pretty sure she made a third one up. I sent it back with circles and notes too. Lol!
Hunh? THAT's supposed to be a Halloween costume? Sheesh! How cheap and lazy can you get?
PatK
Hmm...Kate being so cheap when it comes to the kids is one of the reasons I think she is a horrible person.
She buys the best for herself yet provides so meagerly for her kids. It's appalling.
The more I see how she cheaps out where the kids are concerned the more I think that the private schooling is more for her than for the kids.
aggiemom -- I completely agree with you. There's nothing wrong with bargain shopping for kids' wear and buying inexpensive things, for the most part, because kids outgrow things so quickly. The issue is her spending mega bucks on herself and then cheaping out on the kids, who made the money and made it possible for her to play at being a celebrity. And I think the school is a status thing rather than because it's academically excellent (although it apparently is). I'm sure there are plenty of other, less expensive private schools in the area that provide an equally good education. For that matter, I understand the public schools there are also excellent.

Pretty darn cheap! If I'm remembering correctly, she grifted rolls & rolls of patterned duct tape from a vendor at the blogger conference.
What costume is that supposed to BE? an American hippie??

You are right! I remember that now too, that you mention it.
Grifted duct tape.
How anyone can think she is a good mother is beyond me.
I bet Jon took the kids out last night. If TLC had been filming, you better believe Kate would have been front and center.
Kate's going to be one lonely person one of these days. It's just a matter of time before the kids jump ship and move in with their dad.
Fleecing the Sheeple 153....Kate's costume might have been authentic, but anybody on this blog, including sheeple, is more truly authentic than Ol' Katie Irene!Just ask her former employer..
I think the kids' costumes were cute and creative. Why not put this effort into a CC post that you get paid for?
Hold on while I take my temperature... whatever it is, it'll pass soon ;-)
I think that by putting those seperate photos of two Gosselin kids on her twitter, all Liz is doing is saying look they're normal kids. They can relax when they're with Jon and her family. It wasn't a twitisode like Kate's staged photos.
Sheeple don't like it? Talk to the hand.

--------------------
Exactly. They weren't all lined up like marionettes, wearing fake smiles, put on display for the sheeple's amusement and to satisfy their insatiable need to see photos of the kids.
Kate's making up for lost time by twatting up a storm.
And of course, her #1 Personal Assistant tweets this:
miloandjack
@Kateplusmy8 Kate...what new stuff do we have comin up 4November? I know Ur always on 2the next project? share please??

But shouldn't her #1 personal assistant know all of these things? After all, they share their intimate secrets, hopes, dreams, ambitions and every aspect of their lives. Milo tweets, "What are WE having for dinner?"
Tom Corbett spear headed this investigation.He got them all except Paterno, he died. Conspiracy no more. Football doesn't rule in Happy Valley anymore.
The girl who tweeted that the Gosselin kids trick or treated at her house and Jon thanked her says only the boys wore costumes:
@strawberrypsu
@xxxxxxxx COuld you please tell @msgoody2shoes21 how many of his kids he had with him on Halloween? Did u recognize them? @Kateplusmy8
@xxxxxxxx
@strawberrypsu @msgoody2shoes21 @kateplusmy8 it was the 6 youngest ones the twins weren't with
Someone @strawberrypsu
@xxxxxxxx @msgoody2shoes21 @Kateplusmy8 Thanks! Bet they were cute!
@xxxxxxxx
@strawberrypsu @msgoody2shoes21 @kateplusmy8 they are cute but I was disappointed that they didn't really dress up, just the boys.
________________________________________
I guess Kate's creations with duct tape didn't look very Halloweenie.
oh, I , um. 'get' the costumes now...pretty pathetic.
She tweeted she is " just a mom who happens to be on tv." Wrong, Kate; you WERE on TV.
I took Liz twitter name to mean she's a member of the Gaia social network, thinking she might be a gamer:
Founded in 2003, Gaia Online has grown into one of the biggest forum communities in the world. Today, Gaia is the best place on the web to discuss anime, games, comics, sci-fi, fantasy and anything else you can imagine. Plus, there are tons of other free features to keep Gaia members permanently amused.
(from the Gaia website).
Tom Corbett certainly did not get them all, starting with that principal Karen Probst.
Football is still a great program there and the team isn't doing half bad considering. Every game is packed with people supporting the innocent players. There is nothing in and of itself wrong about that program.
I have a confession I have to make. Please sit down!!!
I'm sorry,sorry sorry that I never taught my kindergarten classes to write a novel. I will go to church and pray , are ten thousand " Hail Marys" enough??
I am not " Shocked" that a 4th grade teacher came in to slam me but I am shocked that they do not come here everyday and call Kate a Child Abuser, that is if you are a teacher!
I think the only mistake I made when I started commenting here was that I am a retired teacher. People have made comments in the past about their experiences with their teachers and they seemed a little hostile. I'm sorry ,I guess I was lucky because I had great teachers, but all teachers are not the same.
I guess it's my time to leave, but I'm not leaving angry like other posters!
I will miss Aggiesmom, Dwindle, Pink, Dmasy and others! I hope everyone enjoys a happy and safe holidays!!
I'm not even going to read here because I will probably start commenting again once Kate THE CHILD/ANIMAL ABUSER does something horrible!
Stay safe!!

Didn't she tweet they were making costumes and had a pirate, a cowboy, and several others. Did't she also say that she had HUGE wicker chest that was full of dress-up? I guess the little Gosselins went as well the little Gosselins. At least they got to go. We just always put a "nylon stocking" over our face and a hat and a big coat. The "nylons" made us totally unrecognizable. She probably spent all day agonizing over that one pair of jeans when she could have broken out tons of Halloween stuff from her TLC hoard when she was grabbing everything with her TLC gift card. All those clown wigs she made a fuss over a few weeks ago. It is not that she should go out and spend a ton of money, but why pretend she has been working on costumes for days and as it turns out everyone knew who they were. They could have been incognito for once.

I think it's just ludicrous that Kate tweeted she was working on costumes for two whole days and the girls didn't look like they were dressed up for Halloween.
There is also a Gaia that is in the wholistic wellbeing business. When I first started getting interested in getting a massage I bought a massage video online. Gaia was the production company. It was a great video and I learned I wanted a real massage after watching it.

_________________________
I was looking back over the comments and you never said you taught Kindergarten. Your comment was that you were a teacher and implied that writing wasn't involved...that all you needed to do was to write comments on report cards. How would anyone know you taught Kindergarten if you didn't mention it? If you don't want to be questioned, then you need to make yourself clear as to what grade or grades you taught instead of writing condescending remarks such the person must be confusing a teacher with a lawyer. Those who responded that writing isn't part of a teacher's job expressed surprise that a teacher would write that. Anyone would.
You said that once an educator, always an educator (or something like that). Educators do teach writing, particularly elementary educators. Fundamentals begin in the lower grades. If it's not taught then, students will find themselves far behind when they get to middle school and will have a difficult time catching up.

I think Kate has been called a child abuser more than enough times. It's out there. There's no need to come here every day to do it. Why should teachers in particular be singled out to do this?

Those jeans with a few patches taped on them, and a USA jacket? It took her two days to make those? I misunderstood. I thought there were pics of all of the kids in their costumes. The sheeple can be so demanding in their insistence in seeing them. I thought she would have tweeted a picture by now!
Thanks, Aggie! :-)

Having skimmed the various fan blogs over the years (trying to do the impossible and understand what makes them tick), I agree
wholeheartedly with this assessment. They watched the show and support kk, therefore they deserve for kk to get a new show and
to see the kids, via television or pics.
One (nameless) blog goes so far as to demand answers from Jon, about why he doesn't tell off the haterz, or make choices that they agree
with . As if Jon owes them a damn thing. (Bunch of misandrists, there).
But Twittering, I think you're on to something. What the adult fans have in common with kk is their sense of entitlement.
With the teen fans I get more of a sense of misguided hero worship.
