Very interesting. When I checked some of these new followers of kate's I find that most of them have never tweeted anyone and are accounts that have not been used in months. Tell me she isn't buying these names.
Twittering And Twattering said... 180 I just now noticed Kate and how she really looks! Deanna, girl you are good! Without your help and I'll be kind she is not pretty! I'm older and my neck doesn't look like that ! For some of you guys who think she is pretty( and I'm not mentioning names) one question. Really???
************
I think that the neck thing is genetic. My grandmother has a beautiful neck, not a wrinkle or sag on it, so I'm hoping that genes do play a part in whether one has the "turkey" neck or not!
There's not much she can do about her neck, other than to have the whole thing lifted and snipped...same with the no-waist. It's the way she's built. She'd have to have a complete body make-over if she wanted to keep going with the California Barbie/Hollywood diva theme... _______________________________________ I think the neck is an inherited area,also, so Kate may just be doomed. Too bad so sad (Not).
I thought the spanking law in CA was open hand, NO bare skin. I remember when my kid was little, and my friends w/kids, we discussed how the the gov't was dictating parental styles (not that we spanked bare skin- it was just the slippery slope of gov't regulation of people's private lives, where does it stop? Make vax mandatory? No two children can be forced to share a room? That's what the type of convo it was). But anyway, I would never have spanked a bare bottom. Also, when I was stationed in WA, I heard (so I cannot verify if true) that parents were not allowed to listen in on their children's phone calls- WTF??? I told my kid- I pay the bill- my rules. You want a private phone call, go find a payphone. LOL This is also the same state (I was Kitsap County) that allowed Jr High schoolers to go to school w/facial piercings. UGH
I don't tweet and I don't want my name up in lights, so I don't understand Kate. Can you explain to me the point of buying followers? Besides ego, what does it enhance? Thanks in advance.
Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) said... 153 Anyone with grown kids, I think the best gauge of what is really important is what memories they talk about. How often do they talk about their house or their school? Now how often do they talk about the little things like that fun Halloween one year or this or that fun, reasonably priced activity you did. Kids don't care about the best house or the best school. They care about everything else in between. All the sand in that jar full of rocks. I rest my case. **************************
My four kids are between 27 - 37. They talk all the time about the things they remember.
They love it that I made meatloaf for dinner every halloween. They remember that when they came home from Trick or Treating, my mother was there and helped them sort their candy. of course my mom was helping with the safety checks, but she made it so fun, categorizing it, and trying to trade for HER favorites. They loved showing their loot to her. Then the next day the OTHER grandma came right after school to view the loot and ooh and ahh and remind them not to over do.
They remember playing at their friends houses and their friends coming with us to the park.
They love the memories of me waiting at the corner for the kindergarten bus and the memories of 2 cookies and a glass of milk after school.
They love the memory of all 4 of them sitting at the kitchen table helping cut up fruit for a giant fruit salad, during a heat wave and the cruchy italian breadsticks I served with it. The baby always got to pull the grapes off the stems. They still think fruit salad and bread sticks is what ya eat in a heatwave. What they DONT remember about this is that we did NOT have airconditioning and I sat them all at the table under the ceiling fan to work that fruit, coz it was too hot to eat anything else.
They remember 'private times' where every Friday night a different relative would come to baby sit and I would take one kid out for 'Private Time'. Dinner was often Dairy Queen coz ya got a coin with your burger meal and then they could take their coin to the ice cream counter and order their own sundae! And we go to the dollar store, or to the park, or see the night show at Sea World, or build a snowman in the park... Even at this age, my 27 year old son will still call and say "I was wondering if I could take you to lunch for a private time, mom..."
My eldest daughter remembers midnight christmas shopping and then we would go to Denny's and have a cinnamon roll and hot chocolate. She felt so special.
They remember all their school plays and concerts and searching for me in the audience. *I* remember each of their faces lighting up, right there on stage, as soon as they saw me. Heck, DD#1 was 35 when she got her last M.Ed and she STILL did that!
They remember burying me in the sand at the beach.
They remember me sitting outside with them with sparklers, having to wear long sleeves for that, and then putting their sparkler in a pail of water when it was out.
They remember me being Snack Mom at Vacation Bible School. They remember me taking them to sunrise Easter Service, which our church started in the dark with a bonfire, then as the sun rose Pastor banged on the church doors 3 times, and then we processed in. They remember Christmas Eve, when I had each one alone for a few minutes to give a special gift 'private' gift - it usually wasnt anything special, it was the EVENT of alone time with me under the tree that I wanted for them.
A couple of months ago one of the girls said "mom, remember when you always did this with us?!" and I do remember, but at the time it didnt seem like all that much. But it stays with her, fondly.
OK that is way more than anyone wanted to know. Sorry.
Ex Nurse, I agree with most of what you said. S Bullock did not go on TV to talk about her divorce. Nor does she call news media people to sell photos or give articles. That is why we don't see Sandra Bullock on magazines, her life is private, she tries hard to keep it that way and so do most actors who are accomplished actors who do not share their lives with the media. Yes, sometimes one is seen shopping and someone takes a photo. An example I personally know of thru my brother who lives in NM. Julia Roberts. Iwas visiting my brother near one of those towns that artist George O'Keefe loved to paint. Brother said Julia Roberts was in the area as well as several other big names. Well we going to do a bit of grocery shopping, my brother said "when Julia Roberts shops here, she calls ahead and tells the mgr she will be coming in with her 3 children, she wears a hat and looks just like anyone else. But sometimes there is a pap around as this area as it has some actors living there who desire privacy. Way out in NM, far from NY and Beverly Hills, Kate.
So the mgr just keeps an eye out for paps while she shops with her 3 kids. If he sees someone outside his store waiting with a camera or something, he helps her leave the store without being photographed. She thanks him for that tiny bit of privacy just her and her kids shopping among other people but not being photographed.The mgr told my brother it means the world to Ms. Roberts not to have her children in the public eye. None of the clerks in the store ask for an autograph. Ms. Roberts told the mgr if he has a request from one of his employees, she will honor it but not around her children. He said she is nice to the clerks and the butcher and she and the kids are like anyone else shopping for groceries. Also everyone in the store doesn't know who she is, not really, they are just shopping too.
I was impressed with that. You make it in that world of Hollywood, but live so far from Hollywood to have a normal life with your family.
If you want publicity, you can get it, like Kate did for years. She had to have her PR team notify everyone where she was going to be all the time.
Do you all remember Kate on Ellen's show and Ellen had this big stack of weekly magazines and Ellen picked it up and dropped it in front of Kate (oh yeah Kate had a wool skirt over the knee, cashmere sweater set (oh phony baloney Kate) and Ellen said "what is this about, why is this like this" and Kate said something like "I have no idea, I am a mom of 8 and I do all the mom things, why we are in these magazines is beyond me (paraphasing, she knows no English) and Ellen didn't spend time with her her either.
Everyone has her number. She is a Jackhole as Andy Cohen calls people who waste time/money and demand and are stupid.
Talking of childhood memories...I'm 60 years old. When I was 3 or 4 I would wait at the end of our lane for Daddy come home from work. He would stop his pickup truck and I would climb into his lap and "drive" the pickup to the house (which was 4 houses away). No money involved. He gave him something more precious..his time and his attention.
Does Kate(Jackhole) have that pink phone in her hand as she runs? OMG, idiot.
Administrator, I am in total agreement with you about Jon. We have to stop with Jon did that and Jon did that.
Jon said what he did, he admitted to it, he screwed up and he apologized to his children for the 4 or 5 months of leaving and also everything else he did that was not in their best interest. He said he will spend the rest of his life making it up to his kids. He did say all of that so many times.
When you realize that Kate masterminded everything and Jon was only in it for a couple of years and most of the time he was babysitting and he was the mother and father of those kids, he didn't now half of what she was doing out of town. He did wrong, he has said so, he pulled his kids off of TV, he fought a Big Corporation with so much money, he was an ant, he tried to protect his kids and he LOST and their mother got another show K8 and she tortured them on camera and screamed and bitched at them and pulled ice cream out of their hands and she did it all on 5 or 6 inch high heels. What a girl!
All that and she brought home the turkey bacon. Wow.
Jon is suffering, he will always suffer, I am not adding to it. He is trying to reverse the misery he had a part in that harmed his children.
Last night I went back to you tube. I watch Collin and I saw Mady hit him with a jacket when she got off of the school bus, he kind of ducked. I saw one of the tups hitting him too. They did what they saw done at home, Kate would slap Collin as she passed him. It is on you tube. That photo of Kate crushing Collin's face because he noticed a man who takes photos and he does not move, just his head as he tried to breathe. What a Jackhole that woman is.
Yeah, Jon gets a break from me right now and until I see anything that would harm those children.
fidosmommy.... I am guessing that she buys the followers so when she tries to get companies to pay her for tweets it looks like she has a lot of people following her. Just a guess.
Haven't been here in a couple of days....just saw Kates picture.....EWWWWWWW....She looks absolutely sickly. She looks 47..not 37..it was very shocking to see her like that. They must "cake" that makeup on because she looks like a completely different person on T.V.....my husband just glanced at her and said she looked "beat up"...
I remember picnics at the park in the summer and my mom was a room mom for my kindergarten class. My kid remembers trips to the mall alone w/her grandma (while I was deployed), they would window shop and get ice cream. She also remembers lots of cuddle time with my grandmother- she was notorious for 'babying' the little kids-and my child loved it!! Just time w/family members, having fun.
OT for a moment-I need some help from the ladies of Pennsylvania.
I am so excited-I will be coming to your beautiful area in a week-my crazy daughter decided to go to college across the country in Langhorne (we are from Washington State). She is playing volleyball so I will be traveling to Allentown, Collegeville and Lancaster (funny note-I look at that and want to pronounce it Lan-caster-my daughter tells me it is pronounced Lane Kissed Her)
I am bringing my 77 year old mother with me who gets around great-just slower and gets tired easier. She has been to Florida with us but never to this part of the country. I came briefly last Jan when she first transferred but didn't have much time for sight seeing.
So my question is-what is a must see? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have to admit I know more than I normally would because of J&K+8. We are staying across from Sesame Place, although we will not be going there :) Is it worth a trip to Hershey? Gettysburg? Obviously a trip to Philadelphia should be included-do we do tours or just go on our own? The big question is how hard is a day trip to Washington DC? I would love to go by train-it is do-able in one day and about how much does it cost?
Widowed Young said... 14 ****** Lancaster=Lankister. Not a long A sound in the first syllable and don't pronounce it like the actor, Burt Lancaster. The emphasis is on the first syllable. Since your in the Bucks County region, I'd suggest a day trip to Peddler's Village in Lahaska PA. This time of year is my favorite time to visit. They have a scarecrow festival going on now. Shopping, strolling, eating and taking in the beauty of the place in fall can't be beat. I miss it! http://www.peddlersvillage.com/
Why is it when the sheeple come to our site and have a difference of opinion we don't call them bullies or block them. As a matter of fact we go out of our way to agree with them. But when someone on twitter doesn't agree with them they are called bullies and blocked? Does the truth hurt?
Widowed Young said... 14 ****** If you go to Philly, I'd suggest a sight-seeing tour bus ride as the sights and high points are spread out. A train ride to DC is about 3 hours by Amtrak and if you're on this coast and have the time and money, I'd totally do it. This is the time of year to visit DC. Well, the other time is during the Cherry Blossom Festival/peak bloom. The summer sucks because it can be hotter than Hades and as humid as a rain forest. Yuck!
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Love My Grandsons, so sorry about your coworker. It sounds like she had a lovely service. Dwindle, you are so nice to think of your neighbor. I like all the childhood memories. I remember bicycling all over with my dad, and going to the community pool every summer, and he always got some kind of costume at Halloween and took me and my friends trick or treating. My mom s sisters and friends would come over and they would gather around the piano and sing a bunch of old time songs.
The dh and dds and I and friends have had a great weekend at the Richmond Folk Festival! Right now we are watching a living legend, Dr Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys, which includes his soon and grandson.
I agree that Kate does "dig her own holes." Some of what she says just doesn't make sense and she forgets that people saw her tear apart her own family for years on TLC. She is either stupid, or she believes we are stupid with short memories.
Fidosmommy a short while before Kate started her twitter I read that Kim Kardashian had gotten $25,000 for a product she mentioned on her twitter. Maybe that's what inspired Kate! But Kim K. Has 16.3 million followers.
Kate is going to have to spend a lot of money to catch to Kim K. followers! So yeah it's for her to get freebies and to demonstrate that people like her!
Does anyone else find it horribly sad that Kate mentions that all of her friends live out of state? The woman has sisters. No friends in the state of PA? This in itself is sad. Maybe this, too, is another of her exaggerations.
I love how the first questions was did you guys catch the debates? Morgan's response was of course, followed by her informed, educated take on them.
Meanwhile, Kate says yeah no didn't watch, she was busy getting into the city. But Andy calls her out and says he saw her watching Real Housewives of Miami. Baw-HAHAHHA, TYPICAL! God she's just so ignorant.

Maybe this, too, is another of her exaggerations. ------ Didn't she say she had childhood friends over for a pool party? went to lunch? visited with one in parking lot and the ice cream melted? what about her 'church' friends? the ones she trades clothes and sport equipment with?? didn't she say last week or so that she was still friends with beth? carla? I don't think she has ONE friend in Pa, one cuz everyone knows what a bitch she is, and two, she thinks she is better than the common folk.
Meanwhile, Kate says yeah no didn't watch, she was busy getting into the city. But Andy calls her out and says he saw her watching Real Housewives of Miami. Baw-HAHAHHA, TYPICAL! God she's just so ignorant. ----------------------------- Kate had no SHAME in outright LYING on TV even after Andy says he saw her watching Real Housewives.
So the truth according to Kate is even if Andy saw her backstage WHILE the debate was being aired and saw Kate instead watching RH, Kate says she could not watch the debate because she was travelling into the city. So either Kate has a doppleganger or Kate LIED.
Kate has LIED so much about everything big and small that she can not stop herself was LYING.
About celebs that dont want to be noticed - it's a THING in Nashville. Only clumsy first time tourists get gaga over celebs. I tried to take a pic once of Willie Nelson while we were in Hardrock and I thought my daughter was going to die of embarrassment. It's like a rule, you leave them alone. Somebody like that Gosselin woman would be shown the door for her screaching and attention seeking behavior. If song writer and grammy winner John Rich can get banned so can a ZList hoochie tramp from Pa.
Last weekend DD#3 was near a celeb actor, certainly not A List but cute as a button, (and I am a huge fan of his!) when my text came through to her about the dog. This guy hung with her for half an hour to make sure she was ok, seemed totally surprised when she finally 'fessed up that she had known all afternoon who he was. He sent me a text from his phone and also sent me a small handwritten note of sympathy. He would not have done all that if my daughter had been acting the fool around him in the first place.
*I* remember my dad taking us to a potato chip factory in the inner city of Detroit, where we would stand at the end of the conveyor belt while an employee would scoop hot chips into the paper lunch bags we brought from home. I know for safety reasons stuff like that doesnt happen anymore, and it was nothing but a bag of chips, but it didnt cost my dad an extra penny and it was so special! My dad was big on finding places that allowed 'behind the scenes' tours and tastings. For free of course. Best memories ever.
My kids remember the public library, lots and lots of days in the children's section of the library. They didnt know we were hiding out from the summer heat, or even bitter cold where they couldnt play outside.
I have more memories of playing outdoors than in- summer heat, sandboxes, wading in the lake, cool grass underfoot in the evening; nose-nipping cold snowy days building a perfect snow family; jumping in piles of autumn leaves that had that certain 'fall' smell; excited not to be wearing boots or tights in spring- the mud, flowers blooming, feeling carefree and certain that childhood & life were forever.

What you are saying about celebs in the Nashville area is absolutely true. We might be surprised to see them, but we don't bother them as a rule. I took my SIL to Hard Rock for lunch when she was visiting from out of state. Amy Grant walked by as we were waiting to be seated and I said to SIL, "There's Amy Grant." SIL said, "That's not Amy Grant." Amy turned and said, "Yes it is." She was being presented with a gold record in a private room and was on her way back from the ladie's room. We shop with them in the grocery store, see them going into drs. offices and just out running errands. They rarely are bothered and they drive their own cars around with no bodyguards in sight.
Didn't someone ask if this type of Blog keeps Kate relavant?
There is nothing on this Blog that idolizes Kate Gosselin. We see her mistakes, we catch her lies, we rate her looks as they change faster than I empty my bladder, which is so often now a days, and the way she pleads on behalf of the children "they miss being on TV" when you know that maybe 1 would want a disney type show, Mady, but the others just want to be children, enjoy Holidays and they are doing that with Daddy.
So as long as Kate is not off the air, has given the children to Jon and visits with Steve 1x a month, I will stay blogging. I will point out every slap at Collin as he passes the refrigerator, why? Because like all of us, we open the refrigerator and look in. We know what is in there, but Collin just looked as his mother opened the refrigerator.
Who has slapped you across your face constantly since you were a baby? Pulled you up by your hair? Who has beat you in your crib until you can't breathe from crying because it hurts so bad? Huh?
Someone want to tell me how Kate is a good person? If it isn't in her Journal, it is all over the You Tube.com site, go look. And those children are afraid of her.
She punishes those little boys after they made cupcakes, they couldn't have the cupcake. Just another night in the Gosselin house, what will my punishment be for being alive and my mother not having a TV show? My mother doesn't have another top selling book, what will the punishment be, my mother isn't going to be on an interview show, what will she do to me today? Where can I hide?
What does Kate Gosselin do when she is drinking and wandering around that house? Does she wake those children up with her screams? Does she?
I have never met Kate Gosselin and I would not want to. I have been watching her on you tube, thru K8, DWTS and what I see makes me very ill.
Remember when a child would rather have their nanny pick them up from the school bus than their mother, it says a lot. I watch those little robots stand, don't move, don't move even if I am squeezing your face so hard, blocking your breathing, you stand and do not move.
Nope I am not going anywhere. I would help pay for this web site with my own money. If she is one person we can stop from torture of children, animals and people who have to deal with her like people making a living servicing her, well that is one less horror story.
Keep her off of TV, radio, out of magazines, let everyone know what she is made of and it is not motherhood.
I bet those kids of his already think he has a halo. They adore him, and I don't think it's just because he's their father. I think it goes deeper than that. They love him.
Well said Fido. It doesn't matter what we want to put on Jon, it matters has he made amends to his children and is he being a good father. They will be the judge of that, not us.
Just me suggested that Admin and I can put a Halo over Jon's head, lol lol lol
If there is one person on this blog or ever comes here that can put a Halo over their own heads in how they dealt with their children, parents, co workers, friends (yeah even the ones who would die for you) then come forth and be noticed.
Just me...the man did wrong participating. At first they did need the money, the man did as told, he followed. He is the stupid Lamb and yes, he enjoyed the fun stuff, but he tried to stop it, he protected his kids and he is doing now what he needs to do to try to make up for their mother as well as their years in front of cameras. Remember he was on JK8, not K8 also.
So come forth yea who need a Halo, oh and yes how about the animal abusers they can come forth now to and I will give you my version of a Halo, it is called a Jackhole.
Just me...Jon is a part of this equation, very much so. The only people who can forgive him, try to forget what happened is those children. As far as I am concerned, he is making that effort and has been for a couple years now.
You are more than entitled to your opinion but snarkiness with me? Oh please don't waste my time, I love it when you do though. Go on, go send Kate a tweet about your admiration for her. It is what it is, how is that? lol lol lol lol

Why bring it here without her knowledge? Milo hurts no one yet some here think it is okay to make degrading remarks behind her back.
Yes, the famewhores of all famewhores, not the Kardashians, although they are 2nd. But the Lohans and what the parents have done to that girl will, I fear, be a horrible headline. The mother and father's hate for each other will never allow that girl to have any kind of life out of the limelight. The mother on coke, the father selling her phone calls to him (he just went thru what his 4th rehab) the whole family is or has been on drugs and alcohol.
This is terrible. Wanting to be in the limelight.
I don't know about any of you, but I am not a fan of Linday's movies, don't know her really. But this saga of her parents and how they have sought her money, drugged out of their minds on other TV shows. Fighting to be her manager. All very sad.
Oh I don't have a band of friends who would give their lives for me. What does that make me? Normal. Guess so.
And why would you need a small group of friends who would give their life for you? What does that mean?
I seem to remember a show, don't remember if it was an episode of K+8 --probably not, because I never watched it -- or an interview show, when someone asked Mady about KK and she very honestly said "We like Dad better". I bet she paid for that bit of honesty, and I bet she knew what would happen, but she still said it. That's a kid who loves her father no matter what.

********
Everyone, may I take this one, please?
Why bring Milo's tweets over here? Because they are truly works of art and we don't want anyone to miss out on them. They are priceless, and priceless things need to be ogled.
When you said Did they deliberately run into the street after you told them no and nearly get killed? brought back a memory of the only time I smacked my 3 year old daughter on the butt. We lived on a boulevard that had a lot of traffic. One day I was raking leaves on the front lawn and she was playing in the laneway. She saw a cat on the other side of the road and suddenly ran out into the street. Thankfully there were no cars coming, I screamed and ran after her, grabbed her by the arm and brought her back to the sidewalk, and spanked her bottom three times. I looked at her, and she looked back with her big green eyes as if to say, What are you doing? and then she started crying and I felt so guilty it was the one and only time I smacked her. I can't imagine Kate spanking her children nearly daily, her heart must be made of stone.
Lauren, you said it so well, children don't remember luxuries,they remember the simple things.
Angie, in Khate, and a lot of celebs, case, ALL and ANY attention is good attention. And just based on that this blog definitely gives Khate more attention than anywhere else on the net.
Angie said...She punishes those little boys after they made cupcakes, they couldn't have the cupcake. --------------- Jon was punishing them and laughing at his little boys too.

Kate lives in Kateland, so if she thinks her twins with the Iphones have no access to the interet because she thinks SHE controls it, that's all she needs to know.
Tomorrow she'll be home farting rainbows and unicorns, whining about her exhaustedish ife. Maybe a CC blog written by someone else. And that pretty much sums up life in Kateland. Hope the kids had a good fall weekend with their dad, you know, just a regular, normal weekend.
But you all are what keeps me checking in here, because it is surely not the continued boring life and times of Kate Gosselin. She is just not all that, I don't even care if and when she meets karma face to face any more. Meh, no double meh.
Why thank you, just me! I spent much of today listening to bluegrass songs about momma, church, fried chicken, and trains! Plus honky-tonks, which is where you will find hoochie tramps! And there were a bunch of blues musicians, they always play about women of ill repute who have done them wrong! I couldn't understand what the Haitians were singing, the translator said out had to do with his voodoo patron diety who is female and likes red. Me, I just praised the parking space goddess today, she saved me a perfect space!
Childhood memories: I remember lying under cars with my dad handing him wrenches, going to the wrecker's and to Canadian Tire on Saturday;
I remember playing recorder duets with my mom at lunchtime,with the music propped up on the breakfast dishes, and then rushing through my milk and sandwich in time to get back to school...sometimes Mama would make graham crackers dipped in chocolate for lunch.We jokingly called it "Monkey vomit on Toast" until the day my teacher asked me what I had for lunch (I was 6, in Grade Two).She called my mom about that.
Orange Crusher, I have to laugh at you but in a very good way. Maybe we are all those friends to each other that we have to check in to see what is happening with our close internet friends "who still will not give our lives for each other" but who care about the chit chat and what the Jackhole is up to.........fun, closeness and a new kind of friendship, Internet Friendship. Interesting, isn't it? We could all get so close but we can.
I check in severla times a day, while traveling, while working, at night while listening to news. It is so good to come here and in some way I think we may all be keeping Kate from beating her kids as we are watching you Kate...........Yes, we are Kate Gosselin. You looked stupid running like you did it for your health. It may be your last paid job.
Goodnight Internet Friends, I think......may be back.

Here’s Kate requesting free stuff, on New Year’s Eve in 2008. A year that her tax return shows an adjusted gross income of $ 1,954,414.00. -----Original Message----- From: Kate Gosselin [mailto:sixymomma@ comcast.net] Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 4: 23 AM To: Juliet Montague Subject: Last minute request... Hi Juliet-Hope your holidays are turning out lovely! Ours have been marvelous! I know it's the eve of the new year, but I was hoping you would be willing to call in a gift card number to the Wyomissing Gymboree (I have heard they moved out of the Berkshire mall but haven't been to the new location yet!) so that I can pick up some fresh stuff for our resume of filming (off the last three weeks- yeah!) on Friday! Also, I need some things for Cara who is leaving to ski in Utah tomorrow morning... Yes, that's being filmed too! :) Thanks- hope to hear from you soon before the stores close here.....

Just me said... 34 ''Angie, I say we convince Admin to put a halo on Jon.'' ~~~~~~~~~ I agree, Angie! After all the misery he lived through with KK, he STILL said this:
"I would like to apologize to my friends, family, and especially my children for not taking a stand earlier in my life and not questioning my decisions to have our lives documented and displayed," he wrote. "I will have to answer to my children for the rest of my life. I will have to live with this guilt the rest of my life. I am truly sorry!"
So true about childhood memories. Even memories of getting in trouble are good when viewed from a distance, if your parents don't beat the crap out of you at the time. Especially fun is revealing all those "don't tell you mum" moments spent with my papa or older siblings. I was lucky to have multiple step parents (the number is still growing) and each one came with kids of their own and their own traditions to be part of. Ah, great times. I think I'll go ring a few family, or former, family members...
I used to be a HUGE fan of Mel Gibson. I can't even tell you how much of a fan I was. I followed all of the news about him for years and saw every movie he ever made. He was my favorite actor and I loved hearing about what a devoted family man he was and how he was married for so long. I really respected him.
Until...2005 or 06 when he had the run in with the police and started spewing hate and venom. I saw him for what he really was. When I read and heard for myself the disgusting audio of him berating the mother of his child and how abusive he was it made me ashamed that I wasted my time on him.
There is NO WAY I would ever make excuses for the behavior of this man. NO WAY!
That's why I don't understand the sheeple and Kate Gosselin. They will blindly follow a child abuser, animal abuser, husband abuser and all around really nasty person. Is it a lack of intelligence? Do they not want to admit they're wrong? Have they not seen or heard enough proof? I don't get it.
Personally I could do without Milo's tweets constantly brought here and I've said so. Unless it's relevant because it's something Kate is replying to.
And I'm not saying that just to agree, it's how I feel. I've mentioned it before. I'm long over her. But I try not to have strict rules here or too many rules. It's a balance.
Kate was THIS close to ditching Dr. Glassman’s magic touch to get her “saggy baggies” done, for an all-expense paid trip to San Diego. Guess she just didn’t want them filmed. That’s a first. That is crazy!!!! I have just been obsessing about my saggy baggies!!!!! Wanna go..... Or stick to Dr Glassman and NOT film!????Thanks! Have a gr8t day! Kate Gosselin

Kate horned in on the Lasix surgery and on the teeth whitening too. It was intended to do Jon's teeth, but Kate said she wasn't going to stand next to him if he had shiny white teeth and hers weren't. She insisted she get what Jon got.
IMO, Milo is one of the more interesting of Kate's enablers. If discussing her holds no interest, I certainly won't post any more of her tweets. Other than Milo and Kate's Journal, I don't find much else of interest anymore it seems. I think that might be considered a blessing.
2008, Kate signed a contract to do a holiday campaign for Kmart. This is only the portion dealing with the compensation. Kate was paid $ 158,000 for 24 hours of ‘work.’ Sweet.

Speaking of childhood memories, I was talking to mom today - the mother of eight kids, also worked as a nurse - and I was telling her about a wedding shower I was invited to and they wanted sheets for their bed that cost $700. I told her how ridiculous it was to ask people to spend that much on sheets for them. Then I said, do you remember the comforter blankets you made for our beds? I said I loved that thing. And she laughed and asked me if I had any bad memories of growing up because I am always talking about such happy things. I told her I'd try and think of something and let her know! We didn't have a lot of material things but the happy memories overflow!!
fidosmommy said... 46 Why is it that some people on this blog go to twitter and copy and paste Milo's tweets
********
Everyone, may I take this one, please?
Why bring Milo's tweets over here? Because they are truly works of art and we don't want anyone to miss out on them. They are priceless, and priceless things need to be ogled. **************************
I feel sorry for Milo. She is obviously very lonely, very needy, and just like Kate she is trying so hard to find some kind of attention and importance. I think she is confined, and has latched onto Kate as a 'friend'. She gets occasional tweets and probably sees secret signals from Kate to Milo on every little media appearance kate makes. I dont know - she is ill, she isnt really hurting anyone, and I dont want to laugh at her thought process anymore than I would want to laugh at her swollen ankles or medication list.
I am one of eight said... 79 ****** Whoa! $700 sheets? It's fun to look back and reminisce about memories with mom. One of my favorite memories is how my mom's house would smell on holidays when she'd have 15 different things cooking away. The melange of smells was intoxicating.
September 2006 We decided with the Carsons to skip the long dinner lines and go to my favorite restaurant for dinner. They were not nice to us even though I begged and begged. But they threw us the ‘wyomissing’ attitude and so we left. We went to a new restaurant called Charlie Brown’s and ended up waiting a long time… like an hour! The kids and the adults (especially me and Bob) were on our last nerve when they finally seated us
December 2006 So I called the doctor and they told me they were going to call in a round of steroids to decrease her inflammation and that I should call them if she was not dramatically better by Friday (dec 15). After I thought about that for awhile, I decided I was not happy with that and that I wanted her seen today… I called the ped again and also told them that Aaden also sounded crackly and asked if they would call in Zithromax for him and add 5ml to the bottle for Leah… well well well… when Pat called back she accused me of trying to be fraudulent and told me that Dr Iriana would NEVER do something like that!!!! I know that that is a lie, because Dr Iriana has done all but the same thing in the past!!!!! They were just annoyed with me and wanted to make my life difficult! (I had also had enough of the front office staff grilling me on every detail only to have to repeat it again to the nurse!!!!) I tell you what, this area and medical care is quite backwards!

@ fidosmommy - I didnt mean to say I object to your interest in her foolishness! To each their own! I was just stating my feelings about Milo, not trying to tell anyone, especially YOUUUUUU, what to do or think. I'm sorry if my longer post came across like that!
Forgive me if this has already been addressed, but what has happened to Kate's twitter updates at the top of the page? Around the same time the twitter updates of Kate's 6 fans disappeared from the RWA blog. What gives?
I wanted to say one thing. I am a professional pediatric nurse and nurse practitioner and I take major objection that our profession cannot support her family. That is the biggest joke. She, along with Jon, could support those children in the manner in which most middle class families are raised. She wants to live like the top 1%. She's not! A part time babysitter does not make the salary of full time nursing which is yes, 3, 12 hour shifts. Any overtime is time and a half plus shift differentials. She is nasty, degrading and mean. She has personally insulted me! Sell the unnecessary 26 acres, and live like a nurse! Disgusting! Don't renew your license, we don't want you! You certainly think you are better than us.

One of my favorite memories is how my mom's house would smell on holidays when she'd have 15 different things cooking away. The melange of smells was intoxicating. *****************
Grandma's space cabinet. A couple of months ago I was shopping with my sister and I was smelling a candle and got teary. I held it under my sister's nose and she said "OMG! Grandma's spice cabinet!" and we both stood there with tears.
Does anyone remember rag rugs? My grandma saved all her 'rag strips' and crocheted them into rugs. This is, first she made quilts from scraps of fabric left over from sewing projects and if she couldnt fit it into a quilt somehow, it got put into a ragrug.
She has personally insulted me! ** Ally, Kate has insulted so many people's intelligence that it's mind-boggling that no one, not one interviewer has called her on her BS. It's as plain as the nose on your face that Kate could go back to nursing, but won't. She doesn't want to. It's hard work and beneath her in her mind. You're so right. How anyone can champion this fame monger is beyond me. And it's not just nurses. Look back on her comment to Matt Lauer on the Today Show, when she called Jon's income and life mediocre. When I was reading Robert's book, DH would occasionally glance at my screen and when he read that quote of Kate's, he was flabbergasted. He *finally* understood how despicable Kate is and why I came to comment here in the first place.
Ally said... 85 I wanted to say one thing. I am a professional pediatric nurse and nurse practitioner and I take major objection that our profession cannot support her family. That is the biggest joke. *******************
Pass this woman a rumspringa!! I know what 2 year RNs are making and if that is what sitters are making in PA, I'll stand on my head.
And there are plenty of M-F day shift paper-nurse jobs available for RNs. I am not saying she would be competent, I am just saying they exist. In fact, Ally, she would not be competent at the bedside either. Not after all these years of her temper running amok.
On another note, not that she would be good at home care or I would trust her with anyone, but she could have looked for a job as a baby nurse or other private home care for some of the wealthier families in the area. She could make real bank. Nannies with real medical training for fragile babies is a huge, under the radar industry.
Again not that Im saying she should be trusted with ANYONE.
Khate's journals so highlight her 'it's all them not me' excuse state of mind. Does she admit anything, anything at all, is her fault? The closest she seems to get is saying something she did or thought is wrong... BUT she only did or thought that because of the horrible things others said or did. And all to often that other is a toddler.
What makes all of that so depressing is that everyone let her get away with it!

I know everyone is sick of hearing about my kids, but DD#2 has a 2year RN, and works weekends for a wealthy family (in Nashville) as a nanny/nurse for their 13 year old son who requires total care, including vent care, tube feedings, sensory stim, etc. She lives frugally on two, 12 hour shifts each weekend and during the week she is working on her BSN. (She wont tell me who the family is, as well she shouldnt.)
Doubt Kate is still in New York, but hopefully the kids are saying "we want to stay with Daddy cause there's school tomorrow". Or Kate is bribing the kids to stay with Mom. She needs to be #1 in everything life hands out. She sucks as a Mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend?!!
Ah thanks for the info Barb. I dont understand that. I don't see how this apps do anything but promote going to twitter. I'm much more app to go to Kate's actual twitter page when I see a tweet that catches my eye. Without the app I might not visit much.
Admin, the other theory is for Twitter to be the only one in control, so Twitter may bring this back instead of a 3rd party that has been doing this in the past.
On another note, not that she would be good at home care or I would trust her with anyone, but she could have looked for a job as a baby nurse or other private home care for some of the wealthier families in the area. ----------------- But dontcah know there is no wealthier family in the area? And she is so famous and amazing every media conglomerate on earth would chase her to her poor patients homes, plant cameras inside the homes, spend 23 hours a day trying to get the patient and family to give them the dirt on Khate and then the other hour that day to making stuff up because, of course, Khate is perfect and her patient and their family would absolutely adore her like everyone else whom has ever met her does.
I'm fine with seeing the Milo tweets. In fact, I like them and every now and then Milo sends a zinger, whether intentionally or not. It makes you think, is she really a friend or waiting for an occasional opportunity to smack down? Anyway, I find the comments more interesting than many things posted on the blog and would hate for you to stop posting them because a couple of people complain and would rather happy dance about imaginary rumspringa or whatever.

Does anyone else find it horribly sad that Kate mentions that all of her friends live out of state? The woman has sisters. No friends in the state of PA? This in itself is sad. Maybe this, too, is another of her exaggerations. ====
LaLaLand - I find it sad. But not in a 'I need a tranquilizer' sad. More like a head shaking sad. After seeing her interview on AH I watched the videos of Donald Trump. He had lots to say about Celebrity Apprentice. You can go to just about any celebrity site and see videos of people talking about the movie they just made or of their next project. Not Kate though. Nope. Her interview is always the same...Kate defending Kate. No projects, nothing. Sure the interviewer asks about the kids (to remind people that Kate has eight kids) and sure she's asked about the divorce that happened half a century ago, but it ends there. Kate hasn't got a thing to say or to promote. Running is not a career and neither is blogging. She doesn't even have enough talent to pretend that being a stay at home mom is a worthy occupation because she's too caught up in trying to be a celebrity. It's painful listening to her yabber on about the same old shit time after time, interview after interview. And yet she still thinks she's got a career in the media. There she is. Poor schmoopy. Friendless except for some made up bffs somewhere in another state and no family to turn to because they were too stupid to know how to help her. She's a real piece of work.
That's why I didn't make a rule not to post Milo's tweets because it appears that the people who don't like them are in the minority. Even if I'm in the minority, I'm not going to impose that on people. I try to pay attention to what the general consensus is as long as people aren't going overboard. It's not like these tweets are private. Anyone can go look at them. Bringing them here just makes it a little easier.
Thanks, Butterfly. He's got another 3 wks. or so or rehab, depending on how he manages the ladders. He's working on stairs. His time at sea is in 2 week increments but I'll keep hoiday mailings dates in mind.
Sorry everyone to be OT for a minute. Now I'll return you to your regular scheduled program.
Dwindle, I like hearing about anything except Ms ” Hoochie Tramp” Kreider. I am in nursing for quite a few years. Great thing about nursing is so many different areas you can work in, flexibility, and I have never had trouble finding second part time jobs when I needed earn some extra money.
Auntie Ann, 103...perfect description of why her situation is very sad. I can't imagine how she will react when she realizes it as clearly as you have.
I used to think Milo was hilarious but now that she is protecting a CHILD/ANIMAL ABUSER she has become a monster just like KATE GOSSELIN! No sympathy from me and she should not be shown any respect!
Question: is Kate receiving big ticket items from companies??
But see, Dwindle, I'm in the camp that says Milo is not who she says she is. Milo could be one person, two people, a frat house full of people. I don't believe anyone is genuinely this enamored with Kate Gosselin. But hoisting her up with over the top love notes? Yeah.
Whoever she is, whatever her reasons, she's sure interesting to read. It's a head scratcher, but still interesting.
Thanks Dmasy. I think Kate is going to go to her grave feeling empty. You would think after all she's been given she would be happy to step back from it, say wow that was a great ride, now on with 'real' life. It's sad for her kids that she can't BE the mom she pretends to be.
Great idea, Dwindle! a new package of clean socks. Not smelly or stained or thin or holey (as opposed to holy). His mom sent Halloween candy recently so I'll pack Christmas stuff.
Butterfly -- I got it! No peanuts. Just learned he's asked for jelly beans so that's on my list now.
Not to belabor the point, but "Milo" says that she gets out. She walks her massive property. She runs. She goes on vacations. Whoever she is, she wants us to know she is not confined.
An OT question for my commonwealthmate Joy, and anyone else whom wishes to join in, are you allergic to anything weird? I'm allergic to Pepto Bismo, that pink liquid that is supposedly good for a sick tummy. Throw it up every...single..time.
fidosmommy - I'm in that same camp. I've never really paid too much attention to Milo but after reading what noboogers4u had to say about it the other day I'm very inclined to believe that she's a 'manufactured fan'. Noboogers said Milo wasn't supposed to be a bumpkin but it sort of went in that direction. I can't remember everything she said but it seemed to make sense. Well as much sense as you can make out of anything relative to Kate.

That's for sure! I seem to recall that the more athletic Kate tried to be, the more fit and athletic Milo got. Could be a man, could be a group of men on Ward 4, I dont know... I agree the posts are funny, you just have to laugh at how ridiculous and off kilter it all is!
Hi Tamara, You know those plants they call ” devils walking stick” with ask the briars? When I pull those suckers up, if any of the sap gets on me, its bad rash like poison ivy.
Tamara 113 -- Are you allergic to aspirin? Pepto contains salicylates,so it is related to ASA. I'm allergic to ASA, so I can't take Pepto, although with me, it triggers an asthma attack. I guess the weirdest thing I'm allergic to is mushrooms, or at least, a lot of people think it's weird. I have an anaphylactic reaction to anything that's even touched a mushroom.
I thought Kate might have blocked 15 minutes because we are a bunch of bullies and we are not allowed to enjoy her so fun, fun, fun, twitter parties. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
You could be right, Auntie Ann. She's been bullied, don't you know. Sniff, sniff . . . I seem to remember her saying something to that effect on Katie Couric and Katie just continuing on with the interview.
On another note, reading all the grifting emails sent from her 4th Pink Iphone just make me sick. Greedy bitch.
Hi Kate!! When's the giving back going to start? And I don't mean you taking free trips to cheat, uh run in marathons with your boobyguard.
Milo is a textbook case in abnormal psyc. She represents how a sheeple's mind works in defending a faux celebrity. While not everyone is as emotionally invested in Kate as Milo is, it is interesting to try to follow her development in celebrity worship, look at the extremes a fan will go to in the defense of their idol. It's a cult-like mentality, and while Milo is totally predictable, it's also obvious that she is at the highest level of Celebrity Worship Syndrome, which is an addiction that is indeed pathological. One thing is for certain, though. Milo loves the attention from both fans and non-fans. In fact, she seems to thrive on it, and the more she's called out on Twitter, the stronger her preoccupation with Kate's inside world becomes.
All that is true, of course, if Milo is one lonely soul from the Deep South. I'm still not sure about this one. One day I think she's just a lost person whose bizarre fascination has convinced her that Kate needs her and vice-versa; another day I think that it's all a public relations stunt with interns that spiraled out of control.
If Robert knows something, I sure wish he'd spill!
"Why can't you confront her on twitter if you must?"
-------------
Not everyone has a Twitter account (myself included), and some don't know how to navigate Twitter.
What is weird is I don't have much reaction to poison oak or poison ivy. And here is a weird thing I can do. I can pick up stinging nettles - the jellyfish with long stingers - without getting stung much. You just have to grab the top of the jellyfish just so. Something else my dad taught me, along with how to change a fuse, change a tire, restring a venetian blind, and clean out a slow moving drain. I still do all the minor plumbing repairs at home.
Tamara - speaking of Pepto Bismol, that's one of the few things I have a memory of when I was a kid. I was probably in 4th grade and my best friend was staying with us for a month while her parents were away. I think we tried a lot of things to get out of going to school, and one time one of us claimed an upset stomach. My mother gave me (or her - can't remember which) Pepto, which promptly made her (or me) throw up, and so that one got to stay home from school while the other one had to go. Not an allergy; it was just that it tasted really nasty.
Night everyone! I just wanted to type ”zlist hoochie tramp” once more, it makes me giggle! Gotta work that into a country song somehow. ”I went to church on Sunday, then momma fixed some fried chicken and a mess of greens. I should of stayed home, but I went honky-tonkin, and met that hoochie tramp that done me wrong! She run off with my friend, I went chasin after em in my pickup truck, but them they done did get hit by a train! ” I need Milo to make it rhyme. Apologies everyone, I have listened to way to much bluegrass and blues in the past the days. And I heard a funny done-me-wrong song by Ike Turner this morning - ” give me back that wig I bought you!”
Memory jolt! I would have gladly downed 4 bottles of Pepto before I would take some meds the doctor gave me when I had bronchitis. I got bronchitis a lot, too. It was orange, thin enough to drip but thick enough to coat your tongue, and it was the most vile brew known to childhood. I can still taste it on days I want to think nasty thoughts. I was a good medicine taker, but when that stuff was involved, I would hide in the closet or downstairs. Awful. I have no idea what it was. Don't want to know. blechhhhh!
Thanks, Dwindle, but I don't generally sleep nights so though I was only helping out for 5 hours it's going to make a difference in when I get to bed. Hmmm, and there still a stack as high as when I got in to be done... But my duty is done until tomorrow when I shall return. What, did I read that correctly. Katie Irene was spending $500 a week at Ann Taylor Loft? Must have a new outfit for each signing? Why? Did she every do any promotion for them? Damn, nothing like greed in the extreme. I guess she took all those freebies to the consignment shop too. Must rest eyes, reading her list of greedy demands caused severe eye rolling damage.
In a long string of tweets, one of the "haters" is outing the personal identities & contact information of Kate's most ardent (and arguably, scary) fans. She promises a very public reveal, via a different forum, sometime tomorrow.
It reminds me anew that we are vulnerable here. We think we're among friends, so we open up to one another. I've watched that happen, more and more of late. But this latest stunt should serve as a wake-up call for those who share too much.
Evil lurks. Be careful what (and how much) you disclose.

No, not noboogers. Maybe the same identity, but not that name. This person got suspended for what I reported a short while ago, and is back already, posting under yet another Twitter name.
Shape-shifters-- on both "sides." It makes sense for all of us to be careful.
Suggest no one use google to post, forget the blue ink. I had a ton of problems via google and someone trying to identify me. I did deal with Google they have not stopped investigating. Guess it is common when there are dispicable people who cannot understand they DO NOT KNOW KATE AND CANNOT PROTECT HER BY HARMING US but we have to be very careful. I stayed off of this site for almost 3 to 4 weeks until all my bells and whistles are protecting all my technical instruments: computer, phone, etc. I don't say this lightly. I am fortunate as I use equipment monitored by work and that person will be located. But it is not that easy to break into one's computer unless you give away too much info on yourselves. At one time we had a list I made it up for our Limo ride, remember? I mixed up everyone's names and used States, not cities, so that threw them off. But mean criminals who love Kate are not everywhere. We are not worth busting in on I found out since the prison sentence and fine is a hefty one. Very much so, in a day and age when terroristic threats and homeland security is important, this is not taken lightly any longer.
Incredible how she wanted one of her gift cards refilled like it was an empty gas tank - and on New Years Eve yet. She has NO humility. Unbelievable. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Does anyone know if Gymboree and other companies (I can't remember what other companies gave her clothes, if any, just Gymboree right now), have stopped providing her with clothes for the kids? If they have, when did it stop? When the show went off the air or did they finally say stop to her outrageous demands?
JoyinVirginia, you left off one more perfect word. May I add it for you? ”zlist hoochie tramp momma." As Pharaoh (Yul Brynner) would say, "So let it be written, so let it be done."
Moses, (Charlton Heston) where are you when we need you. Lead us out of the land of bondage, Kate's teflon rule, to the land that flows with organic milk and honey. Where the Gosselin kids can have all they want.
That reminds me of something. When Kate read that they would be lead to the land of milk and honey, she thought it said she could bilk them of all their money. hehehe!!!! OOHHH it's getting late.
Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) said... 100 Greedy Gosselins, as I recall, Ex Nurse first asked people who don't put all the blame on Jon, to open their eyes or something along those lines. As if people with simply a different perspective weren't seeing the full picture as she was. -------------- I said that Jon and Kate have a dysfunctional dynamic and that there are two sides to the equation. I also said that ii thought that omitting any descriptions of Jon made it an incomplete story that lacked context and that might be why it is being largely ignored by mainstream media.
I have never said that it is all Jon's fault and the majority of my posts have been extremely critical of Kate. My views have been expanded, changed and influenced by other poster's perspective--apologies if I sounded as condescending as you stated in this post. I bring the experience of 32 years of marriage and professional experience and others bring their personal experiences. I appreciate it when someone takes the time to explain why they feel or think the way that they do--I thought that was one of strengths of this blog and what sets it apart from other ones.

She stopped wearing Loft regularly a long time ago. She did tweet to someone last year that when she does PR (hahahahahahaha) like Today, View... she usually wore Loft but she was liking White House/Black Market at the moment.
As far as the Gymboree, when the tups were shown wearing brand new Gymbo at their 5th birthday party, only a few months after moving into a mansion, plus Daddy drove to the party in his new Nissan Nismo, many of the GWOP posters wrote to Gymbo and complained. We asked them if perhaps their corporate charity could go to a better cause than to a greedy millionaire. Posters also made Gymbo aware that Kate took ALL those free clothes and consigned them. I thought someone eventually got a reply saying Gymboree no longer had an affiliation with the Gosselins. And true enough, the kids were rarely or never shown wearing Gymboree again.
Although, Kate still required the kids have new clothing for filming. Was it the Alaska trip or RV trip or both, where Kate was shown taking clothes off hangers and ripping off tags? I wonder where Kate managed to grift those clothes from?
I think Robert knows Shoka is gone, not dead, but given away. I believe he has contact with Jon and knows what happened, thus his latest blog post. Nice way to catch Kate in a lie. Let's see if she posts anymore Shoka diaries.
Although, Kate still required the kids have new clothing for filming. Was it the Alaska trip or RV trip or both, where Kate was shown taking clothes off hangers and ripping off tags? I wonder where Kate managed to grift those clothes from? ------------ In the beginning of the RV episodes, Kate is shown tearing the new tags off of all the brand new clothes that she was given for the trip. Kate always demanded new clothes for everyone whenever they filmed an episode. She seemed very annoyed about having to remove the new tags by herself though. Usually a production assistant does the tedious work (normal, everyday mom things) for her.

“Traveling is knowledge. Traveling is learning. Traveling is life experience. I’m a huge advocate of traveling.” (When someone else is paying for it.) – Kate Gosselin Cara starts to tell us about the Presidents on Mount Rushmore, pointing out Teddy Roosevelt. Kate quickly interrupts her daughter’s moment to tell us all that in fact, it’s not Teddy. It’s FDR. She just Couldn’t let her daughter Cara have her moment and she wouldn’t let go. Later Kate tells us, “And that is FDR. Do you see it?” When corrected by a member of the crew on camera, Kate looked angry and outraged and rolled her eyes and said “It’s Teddy Roosevelt, Ok, correct me, whatever, (rolling her eyes.) It’s one of those Roosevelt people. Ok, I think we can cut it. Wave it goodbye.” Cut! Kate’s not happy. Filming is done. The kid’s fun is done. Move on to the next shot.

Wonders of the World) “Grand Canyon, that’s where we’re going. A huge missing chunk of Earth, deep crevicy thing.” – Kate Gosselin What else does Kate have to say about the Grand Canyon on this ‘educational, learning trip, as she’s standing at the edge of one of the most breathtaking sights anyone will ever see? “Whew, this is freaky! Wouldn’t wanna be here when an earthquake strikes.” “Oh, I am just so like, freakazoided. It’s like wasted land, I mean, like what could you ever do besides come and gawk at it?” Her friend Jamie, not pretending to know everything about everything like Kate asks, “I wonder how far it stretches?” And Kate answers, looking at the cameraman for approval, “Like ten thousand miles or something!?” (Educational note to Kate: The Grand Canyon is actually 277 miles long. Not 10,000. Close though for Kate. She only had two months of community college.)
As an example of just how scripted this show is, all of the kids were each given facts about various things on the trip that they could pretend to volunteer to make them seem well-educated. When they visit Old Faithful, Hannah speaks out of turn and Mady snaps, “Hannah! That was my fact! I’m starting over!” And Kate says, “Do you want to go sit on the end of the bench? And Mady says, “No, I want to start over!” Kate says, “No. Nobody’s listening twice!!” Then Kate tells us, to of course make this about her, “I’m about to spew like that thing. I’m getting really close.” The kids were loving watching Old Faithful spout steam and wanted to stay, but the crew got their shot and that’s all that mattered to Kate, who’d had enough of a few people taking pictures of her and watching “that thing.” “Let’s get outta here before we’re photographed to pieces. Let’s go!”

Kate’s best ‘friend’ Jamie and her other longtime ‘friend’ and babysitter Ashley were also along for the ride and Kate called them what the rest of us already knew they were… paid help. Kate wrapped things up with wide-eyed drama at the end, giving us these quotes. “I’ve gotten help but not the help to the degree that I was hoping I would get.” That’s Kate-speak meaning, Jamie and Ashley were being paid to do everything and Kate actually had to pitch in a little bit on this trip, and it was too much for her. “People leave my life and I keep on going.” “I’ve never had a run-in with Ashley, ever, till this trip, cause she has always said to me, I used to think that you were, ya know, mean and yelling at me when you were stressed but then I realized you were just yelling cause you were stressed.” Hold on Kate, you just told us you’ve never had a run-in with Ashley, ever, but in the same breath you quote Ashley about all the times you’ve yelled at her??? “Pretty much everyone leaves me eventually, and, most people can’t take it, but I have to take it. I can’t leave so, I wouldn’t leave if I could.” “This has been the greatest organizational challenge of my life, and other than the exhaustion, the fact that my back hurts, my kids are screaming, my babysitter quit and all that, I actually still strangely enjoy the organization factor. I don’t know why.” “I’m not happy and I shouldn’t be happy. I have always had what we needed. I am masterminding for fifteen people. I am not along as help. Naturally I’m a little busy. The funny thing is we pull out 25 minutes late and it’s always my fault cause they’re in there watching a movie. I went in yesterday, they’re all in the air conditioning on the HDTV and I just went… not one adult came and and asked if they could, is there anything I can do? I mean, that’s not paid help in my opinion, I’m sorry. I feel very bad saying bad things about two of the people I like the most. I’m not trying to say it about them, I just, I don’t know what happened to them. I don’t know if this is like posh trip that they’re usually used to going on, I, I don’t know what it is. We don’t go on posh trips. I struggle from the beginning to the end. I get very little sleep.” Ashley then proceeds to expose Kate further by saying “The two hours yesterday that she’s talking about that she was ‘getting ready,’ she was putting on her makeup and taking a shower, and we had all the kids ever here. It’s just BS. It’s just a joke to me and if she really, if that’s what she thinks, I’m over it. It’s bullcrap. It’s such a joke. It’s enough. I’ve had it.”

What struck me about Kate and her brand new WHBM clothes was that this is not inexpensive clothing, and Kate was just ripping the tags off! Come on! Again, no respect for things. Get a pair of scissors and treat the clothing like they have some value! If I was going to get comped clothes for an RV trip, I'd choose REI any day. But then, I wouldn't also be getting hair and make up for a rafting trip either.

Nice way to catch Kate in a lie. Let's see if she posts anymore Shoka diaries. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sometimes, not very often, but sometimes.. I feel sorry for Kate. I am sorry that she is so mentally ill and removed from reality that she feels she has to create this total lie of a life. Very sad.

Kate spouts so much mental illness in these passages to keep a health care professional busy for years....wonder what came out of her mouth that was so bad she hesitated before speaking again? (passage 4).
Anytime I feel sorry for Kate, I think about her beating a 2 year old with a wooden spoon as hard as she can and pulling hair and then I don't feel sorry for her anymore.
I'd like to give her hair one hard yank. Or maybe 2 Or 3.
KT confuses being paid to be a part of the show with being paid to babysit. I have always thought that was her real issue on that trip, that both J and Ash. were paid a pretty good chunk of change for their appearance as they were an integral part of the story line and not behind the scenes baby sitters.
Who in their right mind would ever ask KT if there is anything they could do to help. Their only rest from that moment on would be the hour or so it would take her to tap out the list on her 5th PINK EYE phone (intentional).
Mel @145 said: I'd like to give her hair one hard yank. Or maybe 2 Or 3. *************************** Undortunately if you gave her hair a yank all you do is come up with a handfull of extentions.
It is understandable that no television show would ask her on and then proceed to make a fool of her, WHO would ever come on their show again? What is NOT understandable is WHY they have her on the show in the first place. She has no talent, personality, relevance... WHAT does she bring to any show?
Here's something I saw on a blog. THIS is how you "happy up" a child, Kate....
He's still a little grumpy about the whole topic. Which means it's time for me to queue up his favorite song in the whole word and dance with him around the kitchen to it,
Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) said... 104 That's why I didn't make a rule not to post Milo's tweets because it appears that the people who don't like them are in the minority. Even if I'm in the minority, I'm not going to impose that on people. I try to pay attention to what the general consensus is as long as people aren't going overboard. It's not like these tweets are private. Anyone can go look at them. Bringing them here just makes it a little easier.
*****************
Then perhaps you should change Rule #4 to read "No trash talking other blogs or bloggers unless the majority deems them worth trashing, in which case go right ahead."
Anonymous said... 152 Then perhaps you should change Rule #4 to read "No trash talking other blogs or bloggers unless the majority deems them worth trashing, in which case go right ahead."
But Milo's comments aren't on another blog, her own or someone else's. They're public tweets. Fair game.
Unless Milo has a blog I don't know about, Milo is not a blogger and Twitter is not a blog. The purpose of that rule is to prevent blogs on blogs, or a blog that just talks about other Gosselin blogs (which as we've seen invariably leads to fights, outings, etc., none of which I want here).
I have never made a rule about Twitter. Twitter is apples and oranges from a blog. On Twitter, Kate is talking directly to the public and her fans are talking directly to her. That doesn't happen on a blog.
To put it another way, there are many sheeple comments on the sheeple blogs I'm sure that are just as bad as Milo's but they are not allowed to be posted here. They are on another blog, another sandbox, and aren't made directly to Kate. If Milo wants to camp out on a blog and make her comments there instead, she wouldn't be fair game anymore. Instead she chooses to tweet them directly to Kate.
She has posted for years on Baby Mama's site and she posts on the very scary Ziggy Flo's site.
Ah, so the the rule really is, "It is perfectly acceptable to trash those who Tweet, but not those who blog. And if someone both Tweets and posts on blogs, you may trash the Tweets but not the blog comments. Oh, and you can only trash Tweets made directly to Kate." Got it.
She has posted for years on Baby Mama's site and she posts on the very scary Ziggy Flo's site.
&&&
I didn't know that. Because those posts were never ONCE brought over here. If she wants to go back to those sites she can and her posts won't be brought here.
You may not like the rule, you may not see the difference, but that's the rule. Like it or not, twitter is a unique format that allows fans to interact with their celebrity directly, and some people like to follow that as it plays out. I'm not going to stop them. Moreover, concern and fascination about certain fan's level of devotion and obsession is not "trashing", it's concern and fascination.
well, I am upset that Glycine seems to no longer work for me :( I have not slept much at all the past several nights, no reason in particular. Maybe take a break from Glycine and then resume it? Anyone else find this? Maybe try Gaba Clam- is that the name?
Now, see? I took that as funny! As a very friendly little kidding around. 108
Oh thank God! I WAS kidding. Dwindlle, I love your wicked sense of humor.
So he'll be getting an APO box soon 103/117
My niece's Girl Scout troop sends cookies to the troops. I buy one box of peanut butter patties for myself (a must have) and donate a bunch of boxes to be sent overseas. I let her choose the cookies.
1. I like to blog about Milo because that person reads here and then goes and makes a tweet spinning it the exact opposite.
2. I think Milo is not who they say they are, and gets some compensation.
3. OOOH, the book is getting attention, but probably from threats by lawyers....can't blog about it YET. They have been told it's libel, but they will. It's too good of a story, and should be exposed.
4. Kate has a dysfunctional relationship with EVERYONE on planet earth, not just Jon. Jon was a saint to put up with it for so long. I am sure it was for the kids, since he was the primary caregiver. So it's laughable to say there was a bad dynamic.
5. I believe Kate has 4-5 people on payroll to blog positive things about her....it's one of those stay at home jobs.
I like the blog topic but we all know we should fix things if we can. The problem is HOW.
How about links to some web sites that offer simple directions and videos for the fix-it challenged ladies? Youtube is a great resource. Or other resources, perhaps there is some kind of hotline you can call, or check out the library nonfiction for literature on various projects. Do some RESEARCH for your blog.
Oh and Kate you didn't know how to hang a simple picture??? Pathetic.
You know ladies, I think I've changed my mind about CC keeping Kate blogging. This is just too funny to give up! Kate's staring down 40 and feels like hammering a nail is amazing!! and she still. can. not. paint. Who can't figure out how to paint? Oh, and kudos for jiggling the toilet handle to "fix' it. Life after apparently being raised as a princess, having boyfriends, a husband, TLC, a production crew and Steve has made this woman absolutely helpless.
She really does sound like a princess. I also love how she refuses to mention who did all the fix-it stuff before. Jon of course. While she gave orders.
Painting is a pain in the butt, the prep is a lot of work, and for that reason I'd rather pay someone. But it's not that hard.
Most of all her blogs never go beyond step 1. For that reason they are useless. Yes we know we should try to fix the toilet, but how do we do that, Kate???
There are so many YouTubes on how to fix things- I have taken on a lot of these jobs due to costs and my husband being ill this past winter- but I have always known how to hang a picture! I think there should be a mandatory school course for boys and girls that includes shop ( tools), car maintenance, cooking, mending, all the things Kan-do Kate could not do. I am especially interested b/c you never know when you are the one who is responsible to fix what's broken and a handy man is expensive. The topic of this blog was a good one, but I leaned zilch as usual from Kate.
Yes see I think the topic is a good one, but she needs so much help with blogging. Her blog post is a CONTENT FARM post, not a real post designed to help. To see posts that are NOT content farm posts and actually are helpful, check out Pioneer Woman.
A good post would have said hey ladies these are the four or five BASIC tools you need in your fix-it kit. And these are the 6 or 7 things that are nice to have too.
Then it would have laid out each room and the common problems you might encounter there. Maybe throw in an example of how to fix something simple, then point to other resources around the web that can help you out when something is broken. That would be a START to a great blog post about fixing things.
Sarah @mylilabbster@dowd24 @Kateplusmy8 please know that these bullies DO NOT represent all Americans. I apologize for their rudeness & ignorance ;) 109
I'd like to take a shot as well: Most American moms do not beat the crap out of their toddlers for toileting accidents and "disobedience." And some who do get punished.
Painting is a pain in the butt, the prep is a lot of work, and for that reason I'd rather pay someone. But it's not that hard. ****** For some reason, I love painting. I love transforming a room with something so (relatively) cheap. I get sample chips, then paint samples, then do a mock up and decide on what color I want. I particularly enjoy taping. Weird, I know, but I can zip, zip it out in no time. I don't do high ceilings, or anything that requires going up high on a ladder and I'm no good going free hand, so for those areas, we hire a painter, and that can be a crap shoot! This may be my queue to finally get around to choosing a new color for a couple rooms that need a face lift and fresh look.
Formerly Duped, 158...Glycine. I noticed as I got close to using my 30-day supply that the effect was quite a bit less. I started adding one calcium tablet to my night time routine. I have been using the combination for about 10 days now.
I sleep deeply. My dogs wake me around 2:30 for their bladder break. I go right back to bed and quickly to sleep. Mornings are a bit sluggish till coffee and stretching work their magic.
I suggest -- please try calcium with your glycine. (Or drink a glass of warm milk. Not for me....)
7. Kate runs in an attempt to remake herself into a fitness guru, and gives her all the excuse in the world to keep traveling with Steve.
8. I think what is going to bring her down is that no amount of legal paperwork protects child abuse. And her kids are talking. The flood gates will open. Count on that Kate!
9. Probably her favorite children will try to protect her....but the rest will turn on her big time.
10. YES....everyone eventually leaves her. (Only a matter of time before purseboy looses the thrill.) And now the world knows why.
Yes, GABA Calm does work, but I found it takes a few hours to take effect. I use the capsules, so perhaps the sublingual (I almost typed bilingual) might work better.
There was a time that I kept a running list for the “fix it” man and when there were five or so items on the repair list, I gave him a call. I honestly didn’t know how to hang a picture, or do any simple home improvement repairs – and of course, anything beyond that was not even an option for me.
Juggling eight kids with work and running the basics of our home also didn’t allow for much home repair education. However, as time has gone on, I’ve stepped into the never-ending world of tools, gadgets and fix-its that is Lowe’s and Home Depot and I’m happy to report that I no longer feel like an alien on planet Earth.
Now I go beyond just taking note of things like broken toilets and furnace problems but have even become excited about trying to fix them myself. In the process, I’ve managed to not only save frustration and time but most importantly, I’ve saved a lot of money. Who wouldn’t get excited about that?
I certainly cannot fix everything, but just this week alone, I’ve managed to repair a hand towel rack, a shower curtain rod that was sagging, a toilet handle that had broken AND I put oil in my car – all without the use of a handyman.
I am still amazed (and so are my kids!) that in the past, I’ve taken on barn alterations to accommodate our growing flock of chickens using a staple gun, drill and hammer. I feel that it’s important that my kids see me addressing household problems and attempting to fix them on my own.
Mind you, there are plenty of home repairs that I can’t tackle myself like repairing drywall, and oh yes, painting, just to name a few. For those things, and many others I still gladly budget for a handyman. But, it’s so freeing to know that even I can learn to be a “Ms. Fix It” and save lots of money in the process.
So, you heard it from me. If I can save money on home repairs by applying the “do-it-yourself” method, anyone can!
Come on, ladies! Wipe the dust off that hammer, get out those nails and charge up that drill. For the sake of saving money, we can do this!
A good post would have said hey ladies these are the four or five BASIC tools you need in your fix-it kit. And these are the 6 or 7 things that are nice to have too. ****** A fantastic tie-in would be that at this time of year, Christmas sales are starting (already, I know) and there are lots of tool kids on sale for the (mostly) guys. When I was on my own, from the get-go I had a tool box that had all of the essentials. I don't know, maybe it was because my dad was very handy and maybe because I have a brother, but I was always privy to what to have handy to fix things. In fact now, DH and I both brought our own tool boxes into the marriage and he has absolutely defiled mine! It is stuffed with I don't know what crap! Old hinges, a door stop, etc. It drives me NUTS to go into the tool boxes for something specific and I can't find it! I don't know if I'll ever reclaim my own toolbox, but such are the little things you have to let go of sometimes ;-)
Thanks! lol -see how tired I am- Clam, wth? I will add calcium- I have the chewable ones. Milk never worked for me either. I will also look into Gaba Calm sublingual!
My dog also goes out once per night, sigh. I think I don't fall into a deep sleep until I now that's taken care of.
I really appreciate the ideas . I am so tired I am shaky!
.....Or does anyone else think that this is all bullshit and she just needed something to write about....so she made up a bunch of useless junk to say?
LOL, she can build a barn door but can't hang a picture, lol...yeah,,rriigghhttt.... but, mentioning the toilet, anyone remember one of the boys breaking the lid on the base of the toilet? those things are heavy, lol..
Fixing a furnace..hmm,idk about that one. I'd leave that to someone who KNOWS something about furnaces (I'd hate to gas anyone while they slept). I can fix drywall and paint, but can't build a barn door (well, never tried either,lol)..does that mean Kate is smarter than me? I didn't wash out of a community college after three months,but have a BA from a D1 school, help me, I am confused.lol
When I was on my own, from the get-go I had a tool box that had all of the essentials. I don't know, maybe it was because my dad was very handy and maybe because I have a brother, but I was always privy to what to have handy to fix things. In fact now, DH and I both brought our own tool boxes into the marriage and he has absolutely defiled mine! It is stuffed with I don't know what crap! Old hinges, a door stop, etc. --
My dad gave each girl a toolbox when she moved out of the house.
I had -- and still have -- the toolbox. My husband didn't even have a hammer when we got married, and is hopeless with fixing thing, to my utter frustration. I have to fix everything, lol.
On Kate's newest blog post, thanks aggiemom for bringing it over...LOL, well we know she did not write it, and it's another dig at Jon. ....And she's trying to go after Lowes and Home Depot endorsements, I'll have something to say about that. As long as Kate forces herself on society as a public figure, there will be people ready and willing to expose her. She is fair game.
She has plenty of money to retire, get some therapy and care for her kids....but she PREFERS to be a cele, and travel in style with her mylover bodyguard.
I read somewhere that Chris the pap retired after an on the job injury (??) ------
Actually, Chris has not retired, but has moved on...if you notice the latest pics of Little Honey Boo Boo on INF (where she's climbing into the wrestling ring), the photo was credited to Chris.
I think it's HYSTERICAL that Chris has moved on to taking pictures of the "new" TLC break-out star. Katie Irene is so OLD news.
In Kate's CC blog, she writes "...juggling 8 kids with work...". Huh? What "work"? She hasn't had a job in years! And this crappy CC blogs she puts out take about 15 minutes tops, so what is she "juggling" the 39 hours and 45 minutes of an average work week?
By the way, Kate, I've had my own toolkit for about 15 years and can do a variety of small household repairs myself, including painting. And I've been doing for years without your useless blog crap. Sheesh.
Sorry this is long, but it’s something that’s been puzzling me. Remember a while back how Jon did an interview saying something about Kate’s a good mom?
There was something “off” about that interview because she is clearly NOT a good mom. No way could any sane person observing her, let alone living with her, come to the conclusion that she’s a good mom. His words and body language were oddly submissive. He had a sheepish/guilty look on his face, IMO. At the time there was speculation that he was saying that in order to get more custody or something. Which may well have been true, but I’m starting to wonder about that now.
There was something really weird about that interview. Like there was a hidden message to Kate.
He was apologetic, saying he’d done things (presumably to Kate) that he wouldn’t want done to him. That’s the piece that didn’t make sense to me. It seemed like an odd thing to say. Like what things? Yeah, he was out seeing other women, but she was emotionally involved with Steve long before that (even if only one-sidedly, and perhaps not romantically, but still involved) AND she’d supposedly told him he could do so; Jon being out with other women shouldn’t have been a problem. Yeah, he behaved incredibly stupidly for many months around the divorce, but she was beating toddlers and dogs for years. She had tricked him (one way or another) into having more kids than they’d agreed to. I couldn’t imagine that anything he had done was worse than that.
So…what things would he have done to her that he wouldn’t want done to him? What would be worse than tricking him into have HOM?
Hmmm….hmmm….hmmm…. Having a hand in gosslinbook? We might be getting closer to the truth here. Maybe he had a hand in something private becoming public?
I wonder if the sheepish look and the apologetic words were because by that time Kate was aware of what information gosselinbook had, and would *know* what part Jon had played in that book coming about, that he had somehow betrayed her. Maybe he somehow was involved in gosselinbook becoming aware of the information, or outright gave gosselinbook some of the information. Or he was regretful about having let gosselinbook into their lives….he didn’t realize that gosselinbook would get so worked up about the abuse and would become obsessed with stopping it.
I don’t know. There was something there that didn’t make sense. I had a feeling at the time that he was apologizing for something not yet publicly known. That he was feeling partially responsible for a shi*t storm that had yet to hit.
I think it's HYSTERICAL that Chris has moved on to taking pictures of the "new" TLC break-out star. Katie Irene is so OLD news. ****** Hooboy, Kate's old posse has moved on to Honey BooBoo. Is Steve far behind? C'mon Steve, with some of your expert guidance, June could be the next Redneck Barbie! I can just see her bikini cover on People magazine!

------------
I'm pretty sure it was shown that he didn't say 'good mom.' Not remembering the background on this now -- maybe he said 'she's a mom'?
My son made a toolbox ( wood) in Boy Scouts and they told them what to equip it with.Also how to use tools- some cool projects done. It's there for when he moves out and he uses it occasionally- when not dipping into ours which combines stuff from us both and my parents!
Oh my, the newest CC Blog might possibly be the best yet. Who the heck needs a handyman to put oil in their car? I can CHANGE mine even. And I understand that drywall repairs aren't that hard, and who the heck can't paint?
In EVERY way possible, that woman insults our intelligence. ******* It goes to Kate not seeing the world around her. She has zero awareness. To tell her readers that you save money on Halloween by not doing it is useless and to tell them further that they shouldn't call their handyman to hang a picture is laughable. Because, you know, we all have handymen for that kind of thing. Ugh.
At least Admin explaining that CC is a content farm keeps me from banging my head against the wall when I read Kate's blogs. I take them for what they are--a good laugh.
Here is the author of Jon's interview. I'd really like to know what she thinks of this book, that would explain a lot. If she discounts it, she was told what to write.
998 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 998 Newer› Newest»Very interesting. When I checked some of these new followers of kate's I find that most of them have never tweeted anyone and are accounts that have not been used in months. Tell me she isn't buying these names.

I just now noticed Kate and how she really looks! Deanna, girl you are good! Without your help and I'll be kind she is not pretty! I'm older and my neck doesn't look like that ! For some of you guys who think she is pretty( and I'm not mentioning names) one question. Really???
************
I think that the neck thing is genetic. My grandmother has a beautiful neck, not a wrinkle or sag on it, so I'm hoping that genes do play a part in whether one has the "turkey" neck or not!
There's not much she can do about her neck, other than to have the whole thing lifted and snipped...same with the no-waist. It's the way she's built. She'd have to have a complete body make-over if she wanted to keep going with the California Barbie/Hollywood diva theme...
_______________________________________
I think the neck is an inherited area,also, so Kate may just be doomed. Too bad so sad (Not).
I thought the spanking law in CA was open hand, NO bare skin. I remember when my kid was little, and my friends w/kids, we discussed how the the gov't was dictating parental styles (not that we spanked bare skin- it was just the slippery slope of gov't regulation of people's private lives, where does it stop? Make vax mandatory? No two children can be forced to share a room? That's what the type of convo it was). But anyway, I would never have spanked a bare bottom.
Also, when I was stationed in WA, I heard (so I cannot verify if true) that parents were not allowed to listen in on their children's phone calls- WTF??? I told my kid- I pay the bill- my rules. You want a private phone call, go find a payphone. LOL This is also the same state (I was Kitsap County) that allowed Jr High schoolers to go to school w/facial piercings. UGH
I don't tweet and I don't want my name up in lights, so I don't understand Kate. Can you explain to me the point of buying followers? Besides ego, what does it enhance? Thanks in advance.

Anyone with grown kids, I think the best gauge of what is really important is what memories they talk about. How often do they talk about their house or their school? Now how often do they talk about the little things like that fun Halloween one year or this or that fun, reasonably priced activity you did. Kids don't care about the best house or the best school. They care about everything else in between. All the sand in that jar full of rocks. I rest my case.
**************************
My four kids are between 27 - 37. They talk all the time about the things they remember.
They love it that I made meatloaf for dinner every halloween. They remember that when they came home from Trick or Treating, my mother was there and helped them sort their candy. of course my mom was helping with the safety checks, but she made it so fun, categorizing it, and trying to trade for HER favorites. They loved showing their loot to her. Then the next day the OTHER grandma came right after school to view the loot and ooh and ahh and remind them not to over do.
They remember playing at their friends houses and their friends coming with us to the park.
They love the memories of me waiting at the corner for the kindergarten bus and the memories of 2 cookies and a glass of milk after school.
They love the memory of all 4 of them sitting at the kitchen table helping cut up fruit for a giant fruit salad, during a heat wave and the cruchy italian breadsticks I served with it. The baby always got to pull the grapes off the stems. They still think fruit salad and bread sticks is what ya eat in a heatwave. What they DONT remember about this is that we did NOT have airconditioning and I sat them all at the table under the ceiling fan to work that fruit, coz it was too hot to eat anything else.
They remember 'private times' where every Friday night a different relative would come to baby sit and I would take one kid out for 'Private Time'. Dinner was often Dairy Queen coz ya got a coin with your burger meal and then they could take their coin to the ice cream counter and order their own sundae! And we go to the dollar store, or to the park, or see the night show at Sea World, or build a snowman in the park... Even at this age, my 27 year old son will still call and say "I was wondering if I could take you to lunch for a private time, mom..."
My eldest daughter remembers midnight christmas shopping and then we would go to Denny's and have a cinnamon roll and hot chocolate. She felt so special.
They remember all their school plays and concerts and searching for me in the audience. *I* remember each of their faces lighting up, right there on stage, as soon as they saw me. Heck, DD#1 was 35 when she got her last M.Ed and she STILL did that!
They remember burying me in the sand at the beach.
They remember me sitting outside with them with sparklers, having to wear long sleeves for that, and then putting their sparkler in a pail of water when it was out.
They remember me being Snack Mom at Vacation Bible School.
They remember me taking them to sunrise Easter Service, which our church started in the dark with a bonfire, then as the sun rose Pastor banged on the church doors 3 times, and then we processed in. They remember Christmas Eve, when I had each one alone for a few minutes to give a special gift 'private' gift - it usually wasnt anything special, it was the EVENT of alone time with me under the tree that I wanted for them.
A couple of months ago one of the girls said "mom, remember when you always did this with us?!" and I do remember, but at the time it didnt seem like all that much. But it stays with her, fondly.
OK that is way more than anyone wanted to know. Sorry.

In Katespeak, "it is, what it is" is the new "um".
---------------
Hee hee, that's funny Kate Is A Twit :)
Ex Nurse, I agree with most of what you said. S Bullock did not go on TV to talk about her divorce. Nor does she call news media people to sell photos or give articles. That is why we don't see Sandra Bullock on magazines, her life is private, she tries hard to keep it that way and so do most actors who are accomplished actors who do not share their lives with the media. Yes, sometimes one is seen shopping and someone takes a photo.
An example I personally know of thru my brother who lives in NM. Julia Roberts. Iwas visiting my brother near one of those towns that artist George O'Keefe loved to paint. Brother said Julia Roberts was in the area as well as several other big names. Well we going to do a bit of grocery shopping, my brother said "when Julia Roberts shops here, she calls ahead and tells the mgr she will be coming in with her 3 children, she wears a hat and looks just like anyone else. But sometimes there is a pap around as this area as it has some actors living there who desire privacy. Way out in NM, far from NY and Beverly Hills, Kate.
So the mgr just keeps an eye out for paps while she shops with her 3 kids. If he sees someone outside his store waiting with a camera or something, he helps her leave the store without being photographed. She thanks him for that tiny bit of privacy just her and her kids shopping among other people but not being photographed.The mgr told my brother it means the world to Ms. Roberts not to have her children in the public eye. None of the clerks in the store ask for an autograph. Ms. Roberts told the mgr if he has a request from one of his employees, she will honor it but not around her children. He said she is nice to the clerks and the butcher and she and the kids are like anyone else shopping for groceries. Also everyone in the store doesn't know who she is, not really, they are just shopping too.
I was impressed with that. You make it in that world of Hollywood, but live so far from Hollywood to have a normal life with your family.
If you want publicity, you can get it, like Kate did for years. She had to have her PR team notify everyone where she was going to be all the time.
Do you all remember Kate on Ellen's show and Ellen had this big stack of weekly magazines and Ellen picked it up and dropped it in front of Kate (oh yeah Kate had a wool skirt over the knee, cashmere sweater set (oh phony baloney Kate) and Ellen said "what is this about, why is this like this" and Kate said something like "I have no idea, I am a mom of 8 and I do all the mom things, why we are in these magazines is beyond me (paraphasing, she knows no English) and Ellen didn't spend time with her her either.
Everyone has her number. She is a Jackhole as Andy Cohen calls people who waste time/money and demand and are stupid.
Talking of childhood memories...I'm 60 years old. When I was 3 or 4 I would wait at the end of our lane for Daddy come home from work. He would stop his pickup truck and I would climb into his lap and "drive" the pickup to the house (which was 4 houses away). No money involved. He gave him something more precious..his time and his attention.

Oh, not TMI! Those are incredible memories!
Loved cookies and milk after school.
Does Kate(Jackhole) have that pink phone in her hand as she runs? OMG, idiot.
Administrator, I am in total agreement with you about Jon. We have to stop with Jon did that and Jon did that.
Jon said what he did, he admitted to it, he screwed up and he apologized to his children for the 4 or 5 months of leaving and also everything else he did that was not in their best interest. He said he will spend the rest of his life making it up to his kids. He did say all of that so many times.
When you realize that Kate masterminded everything and Jon was only in it for a couple of years and most of the time he was babysitting and he was the mother and father of those kids, he didn't now half of what she was doing out of town. He did wrong, he has said so, he pulled his kids off of TV, he fought a Big Corporation with so much money, he was an ant, he tried to protect his kids and he LOST and their mother got another show K8 and she tortured them on camera and screamed and bitched at them and pulled ice cream out of their hands and she did it all on 5 or 6 inch high heels. What a girl!
All that and she brought home the turkey bacon. Wow.
Jon is suffering, he will always suffer, I am not adding to it. He is trying to reverse the misery he had a part in that harmed his children.
Last night I went back to you tube. I watch Collin and I saw Mady hit him with a jacket when she got off of the school bus, he kind of ducked. I saw one of the tups hitting him too. They did what they saw done at home, Kate would slap Collin as she passed him. It is on you tube. That photo of Kate crushing Collin's face because he noticed a man who takes photos and he does not move, just his head as he tried to breathe. What a Jackhole that woman is.
Yeah, Jon gets a break from me right now and until I see anything that would harm those children.
Dwindle, My four are 34 to 42 and they talk about the same types of memories and any of it that is now funny to them.
fidosmommy.... I am guessing that she buys the followers so when she tries to get companies to pay her for tweets it looks like she has a lot of people following her. Just a guess.
Haven't been here in a couple of days....just saw Kates picture.....EWWWWWWW....She looks absolutely sickly. She looks 47..not 37..it was very shocking to see her like that. They must "cake" that makeup on because she looks like a completely different person on T.V.....my husband just glanced at her and said she looked "beat up"...
Dear dwindle ~ so many happy memories you children have! I hope my son has many as well. I love him so much and give thanks for him every night.
I remember picnics at the park in the summer and my mom was a room mom for my kindergarten class. My kid remembers trips to the mall alone w/her grandma (while I was deployed), they would window shop and get ice cream. She also remembers lots of cuddle time with my grandmother- she was notorious for 'babying' the little kids-and my child loved it!! Just time w/family members, having fun.
OT for a moment-I need some help from the ladies of Pennsylvania.
I am so excited-I will be coming to your beautiful area in a week-my crazy daughter decided to go to college across the country in Langhorne (we are from Washington State). She is playing volleyball so I will be traveling to Allentown, Collegeville and Lancaster (funny note-I look at that and want to pronounce it Lan-caster-my daughter tells me it is pronounced Lane Kissed Her)
I am bringing my 77 year old mother with me who gets around great-just slower and gets tired easier. She has been to Florida with us but never to this part of the country. I came briefly last Jan when she first transferred but didn't have much time for sight seeing.
So my question is-what is a must see? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have to admit I know more than I normally would because of J&K+8. We are staying across from Sesame Place, although we will not be going there :) Is it worth a trip to Hershey? Gettysburg? Obviously a trip to Philadelphia should be included-do we do tours or just go on our own? The big question is how hard is a day trip to Washington DC? I would love to go by train-it is do-able in one day and about how much does it cost?
Sorry for the off topic-appreciate any help!

Lancaster=Lankister. Not a long A sound in the first syllable and don't pronounce it like the actor, Burt Lancaster. The emphasis is on the first syllable.
Since your in the Bucks County region, I'd suggest a day trip to Peddler's Village in Lahaska PA. This time of year is my favorite time to visit. They have a scarecrow festival going on now. Shopping, strolling, eating and taking in the beauty of the place in fall can't be beat.
I miss it!

Why is it when the sheeple come to our site and have a difference of opinion we don't call them bullies or block them. As a matter of fact we go out of our way to agree with them. But when someone on twitter doesn't agree with them they are called bullies and blocked? Does the truth hurt?
If you are into history, I highly recommend Gettysburg. Get private tour. Worth it.
Also, President Eisenhower's house is close by and it's a time capsule from the '50s.

If you go to Philly, I'd suggest a sight-seeing tour bus ride as the sights and high points are spread out.
A train ride to DC is about 3 hours by Amtrak and if you're on this coast and have the time and money, I'd totally do it. This is the time of year to visit DC. Well, the other time is during the Cherry Blossom Festival/peak bloom. The summer sucks because it can be hotter than Hades and as humid as a rain forest. Yuck!
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
Love My Grandsons, so sorry about your coworker. It sounds like she had a lovely service.
Dwindle, you are so nice to think of your neighbor.
I like all the childhood memories. I remember bicycling all over with my dad, and going to the community pool every summer, and he always got some kind of costume at Halloween and took me and my friends trick or treating. My mom s sisters and friends would come over and they would gather around the piano and sing a bunch of old time songs.
The dh and dds and I and friends have had a great weekend at the Richmond Folk Festival! Right now we are watching a living legend, Dr Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys, which includes his soon and grandson.
I agree that Kate does "dig her own holes." Some of what she says just doesn't make sense and she forgets that people saw her tear apart her own family for years on TLC. She is either stupid, or she believes we are stupid with short memories.
Fidosmommy a short while before Kate started her twitter I read that Kim Kardashian had gotten $25,000 for a product she mentioned on her twitter. Maybe that's what inspired Kate! But Kim K. Has 16.3 million followers.
Kate is going to have to spend a lot of money to catch to Kim K. followers! So yeah it's for her to get freebies and to demonstrate that people like her!
Let's Throw Tmatoes
Does anyone else find it horribly sad that Kate mentions that all of her friends live out of state? The woman has sisters. No friends in the state of PA? This in itself is sad. Maybe this, too, is another of her exaggerations.
LOL I finally watched Watch What Happens.
I love how the first questions was did you guys catch the debates? Morgan's response was of course, followed by her informed, educated take on them.
Meanwhile, Kate says yeah no didn't watch, she was busy getting into the city. But Andy calls her out and says he saw her watching Real Housewives of Miami. Baw-HAHAHHA, TYPICAL! God she's just so ignorant.

Didn't she say she had childhood friends over for a pool party? went to lunch? visited with one in parking lot and the ice cream melted? what about her 'church' friends? the ones she trades clothes and sport equipment with?? didn't she say last week or so that she was still friends with beth? carla?
I don't think she has ONE friend in Pa, one cuz everyone knows what a bitch she is, and two, she thinks she is better than the common folk.
Catching up and I feel as if elves must be reading over my shoulder. I have an ad for Hot Chocolate 15K at the top of the page.
Combines the interest in the great recipes I am going to try and the Kate race talk!
Anyone notice that Stephanie has been missing for several days?
Dwindle, feels like we spent some special private time with your family.
I said my prayer for Barbara's surgery. I offer sympathy for the deaths.
Which are the friends who would die for Kate?

-----------------------------
Kate had no SHAME in outright LYING on TV even after Andy says he saw her watching Real Housewives.
So the truth according to Kate is even if Andy saw her backstage WHILE the debate was being aired and saw Kate instead watching RH, Kate says she could not watch the debate because she was travelling into the city. So either Kate has a doppleganger or Kate LIED.
Kate has LIED so much about everything big and small that she can not stop herself was LYING.
About celebs that dont want to be noticed - it's a THING in Nashville. Only clumsy first time tourists get gaga over celebs. I tried to take a pic once of Willie Nelson while we were in Hardrock and I thought my daughter was going to die of embarrassment. It's like a rule, you leave them alone. Somebody like that Gosselin woman would be shown the door for her screaching and attention seeking behavior. If song writer and grammy winner John Rich can get banned so can a ZList hoochie tramp from Pa.
Last weekend DD#3 was near a celeb actor, certainly not A List but cute as a button, (and I am a huge fan of his!) when my text came through to her about the dog. This guy hung with her for half an hour to make sure she was ok, seemed totally surprised when she finally 'fessed up that she had known all afternoon who he was. He sent me a text from his phone and also sent me a small handwritten note of sympathy. He would not have done all that if my daughter had been acting the fool around him in the first place.
*I* remember my dad taking us to a potato chip factory in the inner city of Detroit, where we would stand at the end of the conveyor belt while an employee would scoop hot chips into the paper lunch bags we brought from home. I know for safety reasons stuff like that doesnt happen anymore, and it was nothing but a bag of chips, but it didnt cost my dad an extra penny and it was so special! My dad was big on finding places that allowed 'behind the scenes' tours and tastings. For free of course. Best memories ever.
My kids remember the public library, lots and lots of days in the children's section of the library. They didnt know we were hiding out from the summer heat, or even bitter cold where they couldnt play outside.
I have more memories of playing outdoors than in- summer heat, sandboxes, wading in the lake, cool grass underfoot in the evening; nose-nipping cold snowy days building a perfect snow family; jumping in piles of autumn leaves that had that certain 'fall' smell; excited not to be wearing boots or tights in spring- the mud, flowers blooming, feeling carefree and certain that childhood & life were forever.

What you are saying about celebs in the Nashville area is absolutely true. We might be surprised to see them, but we don't bother them as a rule. I took my SIL to Hard Rock for lunch when she was visiting from out of state. Amy Grant walked by as we were waiting to be seated and I said to SIL, "There's Amy Grant." SIL said, "That's not Amy Grant." Amy turned and said, "Yes it is." She was being presented with a gold record in a private room and was on her way back from the ladie's room. We shop with them in the grocery store, see them going into drs. offices and just out running errands. They rarely are bothered and they drive their own cars around with no bodyguards in sight.
There are many parts of L.A. celebs are respected just like that too and don't dress to be noticed.
The famewhores know not to waste a lot of time hanging out in places where no one cares and no one is taking photos.

Administrator, I am in total agreement with you about Jon. We have to stop with Jon did that and Jon did that.
Jon is suffering, he will always suffer, I am not adding to it. He is trying to reverse the misery he had a part in that harmed his children
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Angie, I say we convince Admin to put a halo on Jon.
Didn't someone ask if this type of Blog keeps Kate relavant?
There is nothing on this Blog that idolizes Kate Gosselin. We see her mistakes, we catch her lies, we rate her looks as they change faster than I empty my bladder, which is so often now a days, and the way she pleads on behalf of the children "they miss being on TV" when you know that maybe 1 would want a disney type show, Mady, but the others just want to be children, enjoy Holidays and they are doing that with Daddy.
So as long as Kate is not off the air, has given the children to Jon and visits with Steve 1x a month, I will stay blogging. I will point out every slap at Collin as he passes the refrigerator, why? Because like all of us, we open the refrigerator and look in. We know what is in there, but Collin just looked as his mother opened the refrigerator.
Who has slapped you across your face constantly since you were a baby? Pulled you up by your hair? Who has beat you in your crib until you can't breathe from crying because it hurts so bad? Huh?
Someone want to tell me how Kate is a good person? If it isn't in her Journal, it is all over the You Tube.com site, go look. And those children are afraid of her.
She punishes those little boys after they made cupcakes, they couldn't have the cupcake. Just another night in the Gosselin house, what will my punishment be for being alive and my mother not having a TV show? My mother doesn't have another top selling book, what will the punishment be, my mother isn't going to be on an interview show, what will she do to me today? Where can I hide?
What does Kate Gosselin do when she is drinking and wandering around that house? Does she wake those children up with her screams? Does she?
I have never met Kate Gosselin and I would not want to. I have been watching her on you tube, thru K8, DWTS and what I see makes me very ill.
Remember when a child would rather have their nanny pick them up from the school bus than their mother, it says a lot. I watch those little robots stand, don't move, don't move even if I am squeezing your face so hard, blocking your breathing, you stand and do not move.
Nope I am not going anywhere. I would help pay for this web site with my own money. If she is one person we can stop from torture of children, animals and people who have to deal with her like people making a living servicing her, well that is one less horror story.
Keep her off of TV, radio, out of magazines, let everyone know what she is made of and it is not motherhood.
I bet those kids of his already think he has a halo. They adore him, and I don't think it's just because he's their father. I think it goes deeper than that. They love him.
Well said Fido. It doesn't matter what we want to put on Jon, it matters has he made amends to his children and is he being a good father. They will be the judge of that, not us.
Just me suggested that Admin and I can put a Halo over Jon's head, lol lol lol
If there is one person on this blog or ever comes here that can put a Halo over their own heads in how they dealt with their children, parents, co workers, friends (yeah even the ones who would die for you) then come forth and be noticed.
Just me...the man did wrong participating. At first they did need the money, the man did as told, he followed. He is the stupid Lamb and yes, he enjoyed the fun stuff, but he tried to stop it, he protected his kids and he is doing now what he needs to do to try to make up for their mother as well as their years in front of cameras. Remember he was on JK8, not K8 also.
So come forth yea who need a Halo, oh and yes how about the animal abusers they can come forth now to and I will give you my version of a Halo, it is called a Jackhole.
Just me...Jon is a part of this equation, very much so. The only people who can forgive him, try to forget what happened is those children. As far as I am concerned, he is making that effort and has been for a couple years now.
You are more than entitled to your opinion but snarkiness with me? Oh please don't waste my time, I love it when you do though. Go on, go send Kate a tweet about your admiration for her. It is what it is, how is that? lol lol lol lol
So Kate got the twins Iphone4's.
And she thinks the twins don't go on goggle?
How stupid is she esp if their friends have phone with internet.
Fidomommy, yes, you said it in less words. lol lol lol

Why is it when the sheeple come to our site and have a difference of opinion we don't call them bullies or block them. As a matter of fact we go out of our way to agree with them. But when someone on twitter doesn't agree with them they are called bullies and blocked? Does the truth hurt?

What happened to rule # 4?
Just me, I agree. Halo on Jon, devil horns on Ms Kreider, the ”z list hoochie tramp” as dwindle so eloquently put it.
”hoochie tramp”, lol, love it!
Yes, the famewhores of all famewhores, not the Kardashians, although they are 2nd. But the Lohans and what the parents have done to that girl will, I fear, be a horrible headline. The mother and father's hate for each other will never allow that girl to have any kind of life out of the limelight. The mother on coke, the father selling her phone calls to him (he just went thru what his 4th rehab) the whole family is or has been on drugs and alcohol.
This is terrible. Wanting to be in the limelight.
I don't know about any of you, but I am not a fan of Linday's movies, don't know her really. But this saga of her parents and how they have sought her money, drugged out of their minds on other TV shows. Fighting to be her manager. All very sad.
Oh I don't have a band of friends who would give their lives for me. What does that make me? Normal. Guess so.
And why would you need a small group of friends who would give their life for you? What does that mean?
I seem to remember a show, don't remember if it was an episode of K+8 --probably not, because I never watched it -- or an interview show, when someone asked Mady about KK and she very honestly said "We like Dad better". I bet she paid for that bit of honesty, and I bet she knew what would happen, but she still said it. That's a kid who loves her father no matter what.

When you said Did they deliberately run into the street after you told them no and nearly get killed? brought back a memory of the only time I smacked my 3 year old daughter on the butt. We lived on a boulevard that had a lot of traffic. One day I was raking leaves on the front lawn and she was playing in the laneway. She saw a cat on the other side of the road and suddenly ran out into the street. Thankfully there were no cars coming, I screamed and ran after her, grabbed her by the arm and brought her back to the sidewalk, and spanked her bottom three times. I looked at her, and she looked back with her big green eyes as if to say, What are you doing? and then she started crying and I felt so guilty it was the one and only time I smacked her. I can't imagine Kate spanking her children nearly daily, her heart must be made of stone.
Lauren, you said it so well, children don't remember luxuries,they remember the simple things.
Angie, in Khate, and a lot of celebs, case, ALL and ANY attention is good attention. And just based on that this blog definitely gives Khate more attention than anywhere else on the net.

Oh, I get it, you mean like you ogle Kate?
Kate lives in Kateland, so if she thinks her twins with the Iphones have no access to the interet because she thinks SHE controls it, that's all she needs to know.
Tomorrow she'll be home farting rainbows and unicorns, whining about her exhaustedish ife. Maybe a CC blog written by someone else. And that pretty much sums up life in Kateland. Hope the kids had a good fall weekend with their dad, you know, just a regular, normal weekend.
But you all are what keeps me checking in here, because it is surely not the continued boring life and times of Kate Gosselin. She is just not all that, I don't even care if and when she meets karma face to face any more. Meh, no double meh.
Why thank you, just me!
I spent much of today listening to bluegrass songs about momma, church, fried chicken, and trains! Plus honky-tonks, which is where you will find hoochie tramps!
And there were a bunch of blues musicians, they always play about women of ill repute who have done them wrong! I couldn't understand what the Haitians were singing, the translator said out had to do with his voodoo patron diety who is female and likes red. Me, I just praised the parking space goddess today, she saved me a perfect space!
Childhood memories: I remember lying under cars with my dad handing him wrenches, going to the wrecker's and to Canadian Tire on Saturday;
I remember playing recorder duets with my mom at lunchtime,with the music propped up on the breakfast dishes, and then rushing through my milk and sandwich in time to get back to school...sometimes Mama would make graham crackers dipped in chocolate for lunch.We jokingly called it "Monkey vomit on Toast" until the day my teacher asked me what I had for lunch (I was 6, in Grade Two).She called my mom about that.

Oh no, nothing like that. Who ogles Kate? Nothing she has to say is priceless. Nope, not ogleworthy.
Orange Crusher, I have to laugh at you but in a very good way. Maybe we are all those friends to each other that we have to check in to see what is happening with our close internet friends "who still will not give our lives for each other" but who care about the chit chat and what the Jackhole is up to.........fun, closeness and a new kind of friendship, Internet Friendship. Interesting, isn't it? We could all get so close but we can.
I check in severla times a day, while traveling, while working, at night while listening to news. It is so good to come here and in some way I think we may all be keeping Kate from beating her kids as we are watching you Kate...........Yes, we are Kate Gosselin. You looked stupid running like you did it for your health. It may be your last paid job.
Goodnight Internet Friends, I think......may be back.
hmmmmmm, seems Milo is Kate's alter ego...lol.
Oh, BTW Just Me, I'm heading out the door now.
Have a really good night, ya hear?
If this website helps keep one child from being beaten one time...it's all worth it. I think before Kay lifts her arm again she might think twice...

''Angie, I say we convince Admin to put a halo on Jon.''
~~~~~~~~~
I agree, Angie! After all the misery he lived through with KK, he STILL said this:
"I would like to apologize to my friends, family, and especially my children for not taking a stand earlier in my life and not questioning my decisions to have our lives documented and displayed," he wrote. "I will have to answer to my children for the rest of my life. I will have to live with this guilt the rest of my life. I am truly sorry!"
You are right when you say Jon deserves a halo!!
So true about childhood memories. Even memories of getting in trouble are good when viewed from a distance, if your parents don't beat the crap out of you at the time. Especially fun is revealing all those "don't tell you mum" moments spent with my papa or older siblings. I was lucky to have multiple step parents (the number is still growing) and each one came with kids of their own and their own traditions to be part of. Ah, great times. I think I'll go ring a few family, or former, family members...
I used to be a HUGE fan of Mel Gibson. I can't even tell you how much of a fan I was. I followed all of the news about him for years and saw every movie he ever made. He was my favorite actor and I loved hearing about what a devoted family man he was and how he was married for so long. I really respected him.
Until...2005 or 06 when he had the run in with the police and started spewing hate and venom. I saw him for what he really was. When I read and heard for myself the disgusting audio of him berating the mother of his child and how abusive he was it made me ashamed that I wasted my time on him.
There is NO WAY I would ever make excuses for the behavior of this man. NO WAY!
That's why I don't understand the sheeple and Kate Gosselin. They will blindly follow a child abuser, animal abuser, husband abuser and all around really nasty person. Is it a lack of intelligence? Do they not want to admit they're wrong? Have they not seen or heard enough proof? I don't get it.
Personally I could do without Milo's tweets constantly brought here and I've said so. Unless it's relevant because it's something Kate is replying to.
And I'm not saying that just to agree, it's how I feel. I've mentioned it before. I'm long over her. But I try not to have strict rules here or too many rules. It's a balance.
Kate was THIS close to ditching Dr. Glassman’s magic touch to get her “saggy baggies” done, for an all-expense paid trip to San Diego. Guess she just didn’t want them filmed. That’s a first. That is crazy!!!! I have just been obsessing about my saggy baggies!!!!! Wanna go..... Or stick to Dr Glassman and NOT film!????Thanks! Have a gr8t day! Kate Gosselin

Kate horned in on the Lasix surgery and on the teeth whitening too. It was intended to do Jon's teeth, but Kate said she wasn't going to stand next to him if he had shiny white teeth and hers weren't. She insisted she get what Jon got.
IMO, Milo is one of the more interesting of Kate's enablers. If discussing her holds no interest, I certainly won't post any more of her tweets. Other than Milo and Kate's Journal, I don't find much else of interest anymore it seems. I think that might be considered a blessing.
2008, Kate signed a contract to do a holiday campaign for Kmart. This is only the portion dealing with the compensation. Kate was paid $ 158,000 for 24 hours of ‘work.’ Sweet.

Speaking of childhood memories, I was talking to mom today - the mother of eight kids, also worked as a nurse - and I was telling her about a wedding shower I was invited to and they wanted sheets for their bed that cost $700. I told her how ridiculous it was to ask people to spend that much on sheets for them. Then I said, do you remember the comforter blankets you made for our beds? I said I loved that thing. And she laughed and asked me if I had any bad memories of growing up because I am always talking about such happy things. I told her I'd try and think of something and let her know! We didn't have a lot of material things but the happy memories overflow!!

I feel sorry for Milo. She is obviously very lonely, very needy, and just like Kate she is trying so hard to find some kind of attention and importance. I think she is confined, and has latched onto Kate as a 'friend'. She gets occasional tweets and probably sees secret signals from Kate to Milo on every little media appearance kate makes. I dont know - she is ill, she isnt really hurting anyone, and I dont want to laugh at her thought process anymore than I would want to laugh at her swollen ankles or medication list.

It's fun to look back and reminisce about memories with mom.
One of my favorite memories is how my mom's house would smell on holidays when she'd have 15 different things cooking away. The melange of smells was intoxicating.
September 2006 We decided with the Carsons to skip the long dinner lines and go to my favorite restaurant for dinner. They were not nice to us even though I begged and begged. But they threw us the ‘wyomissing’ attitude and so we left. We went to a new restaurant called Charlie Brown’s and ended up waiting a long time… like an hour! The kids and the adults (especially me and Bob) were on our last nerve when they finally seated us
December 2006 So I called the doctor and they told me they were going to call in a round of steroids to decrease her inflammation and that I should call them if she was not dramatically better by Friday (dec 15). After I thought about that for awhile, I decided I was not happy with that and that I wanted her seen today… I called the ped again and also told them that Aaden also sounded crackly and asked if they would call in Zithromax for him and add 5ml to the bottle for Leah… well well well… when Pat called back she accused me of trying to be fraudulent and told me that Dr Iriana would NEVER do something like that!!!! I know that that is a lie, because Dr Iriana has done all but the same thing in the past!!!!! They were just annoyed with me and wanted to make my life difficult! (I had also had enough of the front office staff grilling me on every detail only to have to repeat it again to the nurse!!!!) I tell you what, this area and medical care is quite backwards!

@ fidosmommy - I didnt mean to say I object to your interest in her foolishness! To each their own! I was just stating my feelings about Milo, not trying to tell anyone, especially YOUUUUUU, what to do or think. I'm sorry if my longer post came across like that!
Forgive me if this has already been addressed, but what has happened to Kate's twitter updates at the top of the page? Around the same time the twitter updates of Kate's 6 fans disappeared from the RWA blog. What gives?
I wanted to say one thing. I am a professional pediatric nurse and nurse practitioner and I take major objection that our profession cannot support her family. That is the biggest joke. She, along with Jon, could support those children in the manner in which most middle class families are raised. She wants to live like the top 1%. She's not! A part time babysitter does not make the salary of full time nursing which is yes, 3, 12 hour shifts. Any overtime is time and a half plus shift differentials. She is nasty, degrading and mean. She has personally insulted me! Sell the unnecessary 26 acres, and live like a nurse! Disgusting! Don't renew your license, we don't want you! You certainly think you are better than us.

Grandma's space cabinet. A couple of months ago I was shopping with my sister and I was smelling a candle and got teary. I held it under my sister's nose and she said "OMG! Grandma's spice cabinet!" and we both stood there with tears.
Does anyone remember rag rugs? My grandma saved all her 'rag strips' and crocheted them into rugs. This is, first she made quilts from scraps of fabric left over from sewing projects and if she couldnt fit it into a quilt somehow, it got put into a ragrug.
Who bets Kate still in NYC she hasn't tweeted all day.
Something's wrong with the twitter app that lets tweets show up here. I removed it until they fix it. Too bad.
She has personally insulted me!
**
Ally, Kate has insulted so many people's intelligence that it's mind-boggling that no one, not one interviewer has called her on her BS. It's as plain as the nose on your face that Kate could go back to nursing, but won't. She doesn't want to. It's hard work and beneath her in her mind.
You're so right. How anyone can champion this fame monger is beyond me. And it's not just nurses. Look back on her comment to Matt Lauer on the Today Show, when she called Jon's income and life mediocre.
When I was reading Robert's book, DH would occasionally glance at my screen and when he read that quote of Kate's, he was flabbergasted. He *finally* understood how despicable Kate is and why I came to comment here in the first place.
Ally said... 85
I wanted to say one thing. I am a professional pediatric nurse and nurse practitioner and I take major objection that our profession cannot support her family. That is the biggest joke.
*******************
Pass this woman a rumspringa!! I know what 2 year RNs are making and if that is what sitters are making in PA, I'll stand on my head.
And there are plenty of M-F day shift paper-nurse jobs available for RNs. I am not saying she would be competent, I am just saying they exist. In fact, Ally, she would not be competent at the bedside either. Not after all these years of her temper running amok.
Ally good for you, you should be insulted.
Nursing is a fine career that can support a family and everyone would just be babysitter if a nurse really couldn't make that much money.
In many ways, she insults health care institutions, implying they don't pay the nurses who do such good work for them what they are worth.
Just like he insults TLC, implying they did not pay her enough when in fact they gave this woman a ridiculous salary.
On another note, not that she would be good at home care or I would trust her with anyone, but she could have looked for a job as a baby nurse or other private home care for some of the wealthier families in the area. She could make real bank. Nannies with real medical training for fragile babies is a huge, under the radar industry.
Again not that Im saying she should be trusted with ANYONE.
Khate's journals so highlight her 'it's all them not me' excuse state of mind. Does she admit anything, anything at all, is her fault? The closest she seems to get is saying something she did or thought is wrong... BUT she only did or thought that because of the horrible things others said or did. And all to often that other is a toddler.
What makes all of that so depressing is that everyone let her get away with it!
Admin., Twitter has tightened up apps that use Twitter's API. There is some speculation that it may be provided for a fee in the future.

I know everyone is sick of hearing about my kids, but DD#2 has a 2year RN, and works weekends for a wealthy family (in Nashville) as a nanny/nurse for their 13 year old son who requires total care, including vent care, tube feedings, sensory stim, etc. She lives frugally on two, 12 hour shifts each weekend and during the week she is working on her BSN. (She wont tell me who the family is, as well she shouldnt.)
Doubt Kate is still in New York, but hopefully the kids are saying "we want to stay with Daddy cause there's school tomorrow". Or Kate is bribing the kids to stay with Mom. She needs to be #1 in everything life hands out. She sucks as a Mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend?!!
Ah thanks for the info Barb. I dont understand that. I don't see how this apps do anything but promote going to twitter. I'm much more app to go to Kate's actual twitter page when I see a tweet that catches my eye. Without the app I might not visit much.
Correction on 96..................NO school
Admin, the other theory is for Twitter to be the only one in control, so Twitter may bring this back instead of a 3rd party that has been doing this in the past.

-----------------
But dontcah know there is no wealthier family in the area? And she is so famous and amazing every media conglomerate on earth would chase her to her poor patients homes, plant cameras inside the homes, spend 23 hours a day trying to get the patient and family to give them the dirt on Khate and then the other hour that day to making stuff up because, of course, Khate is perfect and her patient and their family would absolutely adore her like everyone else whom has ever met her does.
Phew. Run on sentence over.
I'm fine with seeing the Milo tweets. In fact, I like them and every now and then Milo sends a zinger, whether intentionally or not. It makes you think, is she really a friend or waiting for an occasional opportunity to smack down? Anyway, I find the comments more interesting than many things posted on the blog and would hate for you to stop posting them because a couple of people complain and would rather happy dance about imaginary rumspringa or whatever.

Does anyone else find it horribly sad that Kate mentions that all of her friends live out of state? The woman has sisters. No friends in the state of PA? This in itself is sad. Maybe this, too, is another of her exaggerations.
====
LaLaLand - I find it sad. But not in a 'I need a tranquilizer' sad. More like a head shaking sad. After seeing her interview on AH I watched the videos of Donald Trump. He had lots to say about Celebrity Apprentice. You can go to just about any celebrity site and see videos of people talking about the movie they just made or of their next project. Not Kate though. Nope. Her interview is always the same...Kate defending Kate. No projects, nothing. Sure the interviewer asks about the kids (to remind people that Kate has eight kids) and sure she's asked about the divorce that happened half a century ago, but it ends there. Kate hasn't got a thing to say or to promote. Running is not a career and neither is blogging. She doesn't even have enough talent to pretend that being a stay at home mom is a worthy occupation because she's too caught up in trying to be a celebrity. It's painful listening to her yabber on about the same old shit time after time, interview after interview. And yet she still thinks she's got a career in the media. There she is. Poor schmoopy. Friendless except for some made up bffs somewhere in another state and no family to turn to because they were too stupid to know how to help her. She's a real piece of work.
That's why I didn't make a rule not to post Milo's tweets because it appears that the people who don't like them are in the minority. Even if I'm in the minority, I'm not going to impose that on people. I try to pay attention to what the general consensus is as long as people aren't going overboard. It's not like these tweets are private. Anyone can go look at them. Bringing them here just makes it a little easier.
Thanks, Butterfly. He's got another 3 wks. or so or rehab, depending on how he manages the ladders. He's working on stairs. His time at sea is in 2 week increments but I'll keep hoiday mailings dates in mind.
Sorry everyone to be OT for a minute. Now I'll return you to your regular scheduled program.
Dwindle, I like hearing about anything except Ms ” Hoochie Tramp” Kreider.
I am in nursing for quite a few years. Great thing about nursing is so many different areas you can work in, flexibility, and I have never had trouble finding second part time jobs when I needed earn some extra money.
Auntie Ann, 103...perfect description of why her situation is very sad. I can't imagine how she will react when she realizes it as clearly as you have.
I used to think Milo was hilarious but now that she is protecting a CHILD/ANIMAL ABUSER she has become a monster just like KATE GOSSELIN! No sympathy from me and she should not be shown any respect!
Question: is Kate receiving big ticket items from companies??
Let's Throw Tomatoes
But see, Dwindle, I'm in the camp that says Milo is not who she says she is. Milo could be one person, two people, a frat house full of people. I don't believe anyone is genuinely this enamored with Kate Gosselin. But hoisting her up with over the top love notes? Yeah.
Whoever she is, whatever her reasons, she's sure interesting to read. It's a head scratcher, but still interesting.
Thanks Dmasy. I think Kate is going to go to her grave feeling empty. You would think after all she's been given she would be happy to step back from it, say wow that was a great ride, now on with 'real' life. It's sad for her kids that she can't BE the mom she pretends to be.
Great idea, Dwindle! a new package of clean socks. Not smelly or stained or thin or holey (as opposed to holy). His mom sent Halloween candy recently so I'll pack Christmas stuff.
Butterfly -- I got it! No peanuts. Just learned he's asked for jelly beans so that's on my list now.
Not to belabor the point, but "Milo" says that she gets out. She walks her massive property. She runs. She goes on vacations. Whoever she is, she wants us to know she is not confined.
OK, done. ;-)
An OT question for my commonwealthmate Joy, and anyone else whom wishes to join in, are you allergic to anything weird? I'm allergic to Pepto Bismo, that pink liquid that is supposedly good for a sick tummy. Throw it up every...single..time.
fidosmommy - I'm in that same camp. I've never really paid too much attention to Milo but after reading what noboogers4u had to say about it the other day I'm very inclined to believe that she's a 'manufactured fan'. Noboogers said Milo wasn't supposed to be a bumpkin but it sort of went in that direction. I can't remember everything she said but it seemed to make sense. Well as much sense as you can make out of anything relative to Kate.

That's for sure! I seem to recall that the more athletic Kate tried to be, the more fit and athletic Milo got. Could be a man, could be a group of men on Ward 4, I dont know... I agree the posts are funny, you just have to laugh at how ridiculous and off kilter it all is!

Something's wrong with the twitter app that lets tweets show up here. I removed it until they fix it. Too bad.

I thought Kate might have blocked 15 minutes because we are a bunch of bullies and we are not allowed to enjoy her so fun, fun, fun, twitter parties.
As you can probably tell, I know nothing about twitter.
Hi Tamara,
You know those plants they call ” devils walking stick” with ask the briars? When I pull those suckers up, if any of the sap gets on me, its bad rash like poison ivy.
Tamara 113 -- Are you allergic to aspirin? Pepto contains salicylates,so it is related to ASA. I'm allergic to ASA, so I can't take Pepto, although with me, it triggers an asthma attack. I guess the weirdest thing I'm allergic to is mushrooms, or at least, a lot of people think it's weird. I have an anaphylactic reaction to anything that's even touched a mushroom.

You could be right, Auntie Ann. She's been bullied, don't you know. Sniff, sniff . . .
I seem to remember her saying something to that effect on Katie Couric and Katie just continuing on with the interview.
On another note, reading all the grifting emails sent from her 4th Pink Iphone just make me sick. Greedy bitch.
Hi Kate!! When's the giving back going to start? And I don't mean you taking free trips to cheat, uh run in marathons with your boobyguard.
Milo is a textbook case in abnormal psyc. She represents how a sheeple's mind works in defending a faux celebrity. While not everyone is as emotionally invested in Kate as Milo is, it is interesting to try to follow her development in celebrity worship, look at the extremes a fan will go to in the defense of their idol. It's a cult-like mentality, and while Milo is totally predictable, it's also obvious that she is at the highest level of Celebrity Worship Syndrome, which is an addiction that is indeed pathological. One thing is for certain, though. Milo loves the attention from both fans and non-fans. In fact, she seems to thrive on it, and the more she's called out on Twitter, the stronger her preoccupation with Kate's inside world becomes.
All that is true, of course, if Milo is one lonely soul from the Deep South. I'm still not sure about this one. One day I think she's just a lost person whose bizarre fascination has convinced her that Kate needs her and vice-versa; another day I think that it's all a public relations stunt with interns that spiraled out of control.
If Robert knows something, I sure wish he'd spill!
"Why can't you confront her on twitter if you must?"
-------------
Not everyone has a Twitter account (myself included), and some don't know how to navigate Twitter.
What is weird is I don't have much reaction to poison oak or poison ivy.
And here is a weird thing I can do. I can pick up stinging nettles - the jellyfish with long stingers - without getting stung much. You just have to grab the top of the jellyfish just so. Something else my dad taught me, along with how to change a fuse, change a tire, restring a venetian blind, and clean out a slow moving drain. I still do all the minor plumbing repairs at home.

Incredible how she wanted one of her gift cards refilled like it was an empty gas tank - and on New Years Eve yet. She has NO humility. Unbelievable.
Tamara - speaking of Pepto Bismol, that's one of the few things I have a memory of when I was a kid. I was probably in 4th grade and my best friend was staying with us for a month while her parents were away. I think we tried a lot of things to get out of going to school, and one time one of us claimed an upset stomach. My mother gave me (or her - can't remember which) Pepto, which promptly made her (or me) throw up, and so that one got to stay home from school while the other one had to go. Not an allergy; it was just that it tasted really nasty.
Night everyone! I just wanted to type ”zlist hoochie tramp” once more, it makes me giggle! Gotta work that into a country song somehow.
”I went to church on Sunday, then momma fixed some fried chicken and a mess of greens. I should of stayed home, but I went honky-tonkin, and met that hoochie tramp that done me wrong! She run off with my friend, I went chasin after em in my pickup truck, but them they done did get hit by a train! ”
I need Milo to make it rhyme.
Apologies everyone, I have listened to way to much bluegrass and blues in the past the days. And I heard a funny done-me-wrong song by Ike Turner this morning - ” give me back that wig I bought you!”
Pepto Bismol, it tasted really nasty.
****
Memory jolt! I would have gladly downed 4 bottles of Pepto before I would take some meds the doctor gave me when I had bronchitis. I got bronchitis a lot, too. It was orange, thin enough to drip but thick enough to coat your tongue, and it was the most vile brew known to childhood. I can still taste it on days I want to think nasty thoughts. I was a good medicine taker, but when that stuff was involved, I would hide in the closet or downstairs. Awful. I have no idea what it was. Don't want to know. blechhhhh!
Thanks, Dwindle, but I don't generally sleep nights so though I was only helping out for 5 hours it's going to make a difference in when I get to bed. Hmmm, and there still a stack as high as when I got in to be done... But my duty is done until tomorrow when I shall return.
What, did I read that correctly. Katie Irene was spending $500 a week at Ann Taylor Loft? Must have a new outfit for each signing? Why? Did she every do any promotion for them? Damn, nothing like greed in the extreme. I guess she took all those freebies to the consignment shop too.
Must rest eyes, reading her list of greedy demands caused severe eye rolling damage.
BEWARE!
In a long string of tweets, one of the "haters" is outing the personal identities & contact information of Kate's most ardent (and arguably, scary) fans. She promises a very public reveal, via a different forum, sometime tomorrow.
It reminds me anew that we are vulnerable here. We think we're among friends, so we open up to one another. I've watched that happen, more and more of late. But this latest stunt should serve as a wake-up call for those who share too much.
Evil lurks. Be careful what (and how much) you disclose.
:(

No, not noboogers. Maybe the same identity, but not that name. This person got suspended for what I reported a short while ago, and is back already, posting under yet another Twitter name.
Shape-shifters-- on both "sides." It makes sense for all of us to be careful.
I get very nervous when people post their cities etc. These sheep (not all) are CRAZY and have been keeping notes on haters for YEARS.
They have an agenda and they have No intention of giving up.
No, not noboogers. Maybe the same identity, but not that name.

Yes, I saw that it isn't the same name, but wondered if it's the same person.
Suggest no one use google to post, forget the blue ink. I had a ton of problems via google and someone trying to identify me. I did deal with Google they have not stopped investigating. Guess it is common when there are dispicable people who cannot understand they DO NOT KNOW KATE AND CANNOT PROTECT HER BY HARMING US but we have to be very careful. I stayed off of this site for almost 3 to 4 weeks until all my bells and whistles are protecting all my technical instruments: computer, phone, etc. I don't say this lightly. I am fortunate as I use equipment monitored by work and that person will be located. But it is not that easy to break into one's computer unless you give away too much info on yourselves. At one time we had a list I made it up for our Limo ride, remember? I mixed up everyone's names and used States, not cities, so that threw them off. But mean criminals who love Kate are not everywhere. We are not worth busting in on I found out since the prison sentence and fine is a hefty one. Very much so, in a day and age when terroristic threats and homeland security is important, this is not taken lightly any longer.

Does anyone know if Gymboree and other companies (I can't remember what other companies gave her clothes, if any, just Gymboree right now), have stopped providing her with clothes for the kids? If they have, when did it stop? When the show went off the air or did they finally say stop to her outrageous demands?
JoyinVirginia, you left off one more perfect word. May I add it for you? ”zlist hoochie tramp momma." As Pharaoh (Yul Brynner) would say, "So let it be written, so let it be done."
Moses, (Charlton Heston) where are you when we need you. Lead us out of the land of bondage, Kate's teflon rule, to the land that flows with organic milk and honey. Where the Gosselin kids can have all they want.
That reminds me of something. When Kate read that they would be lead to the land of milk and honey, she thought it said she could bilk them of all their money. hehehe!!!! OOHHH it's getting late.

Greedy Gosselins, as I recall, Ex Nurse first asked people who don't put all the blame on Jon, to open their eyes or something along those lines. As if people with simply a different perspective weren't seeing the full picture as she was.
--------------
I said that Jon and Kate have a dysfunctional dynamic and that there are two sides to the equation. I also said that ii thought that omitting any descriptions of Jon made it an incomplete story that lacked context and that might be why it is being largely ignored by mainstream media.
I have never said that it is all Jon's fault and the majority of my posts have been extremely critical of Kate. My views have been expanded, changed and influenced by other poster's perspective--apologies if I sounded as condescending as you stated in this post. I bring the experience of 32 years of marriage and professional experience and others bring their personal experiences. I appreciate it when someone takes the time to explain why they feel or think the way that they do--I thought that was one of strengths of this blog and what sets it apart from other ones.

___________________________________________
She stopped wearing Loft regularly a long time ago. She did tweet to someone last year that when she does PR (hahahahahahaha) like Today, View... she usually wore Loft but she was liking White House/Black Market at the moment.
As far as the Gymboree, when the tups were shown wearing brand new Gymbo at their 5th birthday party, only a few months after moving into a mansion, plus Daddy drove to the party in his new Nissan Nismo, many of the GWOP posters wrote to Gymbo and complained. We asked them if perhaps their corporate charity could go to a better cause than to a greedy millionaire. Posters also made Gymbo aware that Kate took ALL those free clothes and consigned them. I thought someone eventually got a reply saying Gymboree no longer had an affiliation with the Gosselins. And true enough, the kids were rarely or never shown wearing Gymboree again.
Although, Kate still required the kids have new clothing for filming. Was it the Alaska trip or RV trip or both, where Kate was shown taking clothes off hangers and ripping off tags? I wonder where Kate managed to grift those clothes from?
I think Robert knows Shoka is gone, not dead, but given away. I believe he has contact with Jon and knows what happened, thus his latest blog post. Nice way to catch Kate in a lie. Let's see if she posts anymore Shoka diaries.

In the beginning of the RV episodes, Kate is shown tearing the new tags off of all the brand new clothes that she was given for the trip. Kate always demanded new clothes for everyone whenever they filmed an episode. She seemed very annoyed about having to remove the new tags by herself though. Usually a production assistant does the tedious work (normal, everyday mom things) for her.

“Traveling is knowledge. Traveling is learning. Traveling is life experience. I’m a huge advocate of traveling.” (When someone else is paying for it.) – Kate Gosselin Cara starts to tell us about the Presidents on Mount Rushmore, pointing out Teddy Roosevelt. Kate quickly interrupts her daughter’s moment to tell us all that in fact, it’s not Teddy. It’s FDR. She just Couldn’t let her daughter Cara have her moment and she wouldn’t let go. Later Kate tells us, “And that is FDR. Do you see it?” When corrected by a member of the crew on camera, Kate looked angry and outraged and rolled her eyes and said “It’s Teddy Roosevelt, Ok, correct me, whatever, (rolling her eyes.) It’s one of those Roosevelt people. Ok, I think we can cut it. Wave it goodbye.” Cut! Kate’s not happy. Filming is done. The kid’s fun is done. Move on to the next shot.

Wonders of the World) “Grand Canyon, that’s where we’re going. A huge missing chunk of Earth, deep crevicy thing.” – Kate Gosselin
What else does Kate have to say about the Grand Canyon on this ‘educational, learning trip, as she’s standing at the edge of one of the most breathtaking sights anyone will ever see? “Whew, this is freaky! Wouldn’t wanna be here when an earthquake strikes.” “Oh, I am just so like, freakazoided. It’s like wasted land, I mean, like what could you ever do besides come and gawk at it?” Her friend Jamie, not pretending to know everything about everything like Kate asks, “I wonder how far it stretches?” And Kate answers, looking at the cameraman for approval, “Like ten thousand miles or something!?” (Educational note to Kate: The Grand Canyon is actually 277 miles long. Not 10,000. Close though for Kate. She only had two months of community college.)
As an example of just how scripted this show is, all of the kids were each given facts about various things on the trip that they could pretend to volunteer to make them seem well-educated. When they visit Old Faithful, Hannah speaks out of turn and Mady snaps, “Hannah! That was my fact! I’m starting over!” And Kate says, “Do you want to go sit on the end of the bench? And Mady says, “No, I want to start over!” Kate says, “No. Nobody’s listening twice!!” Then Kate tells us, to of course make this about her, “I’m about to spew like that thing. I’m getting really close.” The kids were loving watching Old Faithful spout steam and wanted to stay, but the crew got their shot and that’s all that mattered to Kate, who’d had enough of a few people taking pictures of her and watching “that thing.” “Let’s get outta here before we’re photographed to pieces. Let’s go!”

Kate’s best ‘friend’ Jamie and her other longtime ‘friend’ and babysitter Ashley were also along for the ride and Kate called them what the rest of us already knew they were… paid help. Kate wrapped things up with wide-eyed drama at the end, giving us these quotes. “I’ve gotten help but not the help to the degree that I was hoping I would get.” That’s Kate-speak meaning, Jamie and Ashley were being paid to do everything and Kate actually had to pitch in a little bit on this trip, and it was too much for her. “People leave my life and I keep on going.” “I’ve never had a run-in with Ashley, ever, till this trip, cause she has always said to me, I used to think that you were, ya know, mean and yelling at me when you were stressed but then I realized you were just yelling cause you were stressed.” Hold on Kate, you just told us you’ve never had a run-in with Ashley, ever, but in the same breath you quote Ashley about all the times you’ve yelled at her??? “Pretty much everyone leaves me eventually, and, most people can’t take it, but I have to take it. I can’t leave so, I wouldn’t leave if I could.” “This has been the greatest organizational challenge of my life, and other than the exhaustion, the fact that my back hurts, my kids are screaming, my babysitter quit and all that, I actually still strangely enjoy the organization factor. I don’t know why.” “I’m not happy and I shouldn’t be happy. I have always had what we needed. I am masterminding for fifteen people. I am not along as help. Naturally I’m a little busy. The funny thing is we pull out 25 minutes late and it’s always my fault cause they’re in there watching a movie. I went in yesterday, they’re all in the air conditioning on the HDTV and I just went… not one adult came and and asked if they could, is there anything I can do? I mean, that’s not paid help in my opinion, I’m sorry. I feel very bad saying bad things about two of the people I like the most. I’m not trying to say it about them, I just, I don’t know what happened to them. I don’t know if this is like posh trip that they’re usually used to going on, I, I don’t know what it is. We don’t go on posh trips. I struggle from the beginning to the end. I get very little sleep.” Ashley then proceeds to expose Kate further by saying “The two hours yesterday that she’s talking about that she was ‘getting ready,’ she was putting on her makeup and taking a shower, and we had all the kids ever here. It’s just BS. It’s just a joke to me and if she really, if that’s what she thinks, I’m over it. It’s bullcrap. It’s such a joke. It’s enough. I’ve had it.”

*******
The kids moved on to grifted Peace Love World clothes and Kate's RV wardrobe was from White House/Black Market.
What struck me about Kate and her brand new WHBM clothes was that this is not inexpensive clothing, and Kate was just ripping the tags off! Come on! Again, no respect for things. Get a pair of scissors and treat the clothing like they have some value!
If I was going to get comped clothes for an RV trip, I'd choose REI any day. But then, I wouldn't also be getting hair and make up for a rafting trip either.

“I’m not happy and I shouldn’t be happy. I have always had what we needed. I am masterminding for fifteen people. I am not along as help. Naturally I’m a little busy.
The funny thing is we pull out 25 minutes late and it’s always my fault cause they’re in there watching a movie. I went in yesterday, they’re all in the air conditioning on the HDTV and I just went… not one adult came and and asked if they could, is there anything I can do? I mean, that’s not paid help in my opinion, I’m sorry.
I feel very bad saying bad things about two of the people I like the most. I’m not trying to say it about them, I just, I don’t know what happened to them.
I don’t know if this is like posh trip that they’re usually used to going on, I, I don’t know what it is. We don’t go on posh trips.
I struggle from the beginning to the end. I get very little sleep.”

Kate spouts so much mental illness in these passages to keep a health care professional busy for years....wonder what came out of her mouth that was so bad she hesitated before speaking again? (passage 4).
Anytime I feel sorry for Kate, I think about her beating a 2 year old with a wooden spoon as hard as she can and pulling hair and then I don't feel sorry for her anymore.
I'd like to give her hair one hard yank. Or maybe 2 Or 3.
KT confuses being paid to be a part of the show with being paid to babysit. I have always thought that was her real issue on that trip, that both J and Ash. were paid a pretty good chunk of change for their appearance as they were an integral part of the story line and not behind the scenes baby sitters.
Who in their right mind would ever ask KT if there is anything they could do to help. Their only rest from that moment on would be the hour or so it would take her to tap out the list on her 5th PINK EYE phone (intentional).

***************************
Undortunately if you gave her hair a yank all you do is come up with a handfull of extentions.
Well, I think we can all say that she has organized herself right into disgrace and disaster.
I Don't know if she can even begin to organizationalish her way out.
It is understandable that no television show would ask her on and then proceed to make a fool of her, WHO would ever come on their show again? What is NOT understandable is WHY they have her on the show in the first place. She has no talent, personality, relevance... WHAT does she bring to any show?
Here's something I saw on a blog. THIS is how you "happy up" a child, Kate....
He's still a little grumpy about the whole topic.
Which means it's time for me to queue up his favorite song in the whole word and dance with him around the kitchen to it,
Of course her "friends"will die for her. Her friend is Steve, her paid bodyguard. It's his JOB to die for her.

That's why I didn't make a rule not to post Milo's tweets because it appears that the people who don't like them are in the minority. Even if I'm in the minority, I'm not going to impose that on people. I try to pay attention to what the general consensus is as long as people aren't going overboard. It's not like these tweets are private. Anyone can go look at them. Bringing them here just makes it a little easier.

Then perhaps you should change Rule #4 to read "No trash talking other blogs or bloggers unless the majority deems them worth trashing, in which case go right ahead."

Then perhaps you should change Rule #4 to read "No trash talking other blogs or bloggers unless the majority deems them worth trashing, in which case go right ahead."
But Milo's comments aren't on another blog, her own or someone else's. They're public tweets. Fair game.
Unless Milo has a blog I don't know about, Milo is not a blogger and Twitter is not a blog. The purpose of that rule is to prevent blogs on blogs, or a blog that just talks about other Gosselin blogs (which as we've seen invariably leads to fights, outings, etc., none of which I want here).
I have never made a rule about Twitter. Twitter is apples and oranges from a blog. On Twitter, Kate is talking directly to the public and her fans are talking directly to her. That doesn't happen on a blog.
To put it another way, there are many sheeple comments on the sheeple blogs I'm sure that are just as bad as Milo's but they are not allowed to be posted here. They are on another blog, another sandbox, and aren't made directly to Kate. If Milo wants to camp out on a blog and make her comments there instead, she wouldn't be fair game anymore. Instead she chooses to tweet them directly to Kate.
She has posted for years on Baby Mama's site and she posts on the very scary Ziggy Flo's site.
Ah, so the the rule really is, "It is perfectly acceptable to trash those who Tweet, but not those who blog. And if someone both Tweets and posts on blogs, you may trash the Tweets but not the blog comments. Oh, and you can only trash Tweets made directly to Kate." Got it.
She has posted for years on Baby Mama's site and she posts on the very scary Ziggy Flo's site.
&&&
I didn't know that. Because those posts were never ONCE brought over here. If she wants to go back to those sites she can and her posts won't be brought here.
You may not like the rule, you may not see the difference, but that's the rule. Like it or not, twitter is a unique format that allows fans to interact with their celebrity directly, and some people like to follow that as it plays out. I'm not going to stop them. Moreover, concern and fascination about certain fan's level of devotion and obsession is not "trashing", it's concern and fascination.
OT: scroll on past if you care to...
well, I am upset that Glycine seems to no longer work for me :( I have not slept much at all the past several nights, no reason in particular. Maybe take a break from Glycine and then resume it? Anyone else find this? Maybe try Gaba Clam- is that the name?
Thanks, pals, in advance
Kate's new CC blog: "Kate Says: Do It Yourself and Save!"
Another worthless blog--did you know that you can save money on home repairs by doing some of them yourself? Well, duh!
Just catching up.
Now, see? I took that as funny! As a very friendly little kidding around. 108
Oh thank God! I WAS kidding. Dwindlle, I love your wicked sense of humor.
So he'll be getting an APO box soon 103/117
My niece's Girl Scout troop sends cookies to the troops. I buy one box of peanut butter patties for myself (a must have) and donate a
bunch of boxes to be sent overseas. I let her choose the cookies.
1. I like to blog about Milo because that person reads here and then goes and makes a tweet spinning it the exact opposite.
2. I think Milo is not who they say they are, and gets some compensation.
3. OOOH, the book is getting attention, but probably from threats by lawyers....can't blog about it YET. They have been told it's libel, but they will. It's too good of a story, and should be exposed.
4. Kate has a dysfunctional relationship with EVERYONE on planet earth, not just Jon. Jon was a saint to put up with it for so long. I am sure it was for the kids, since he was the primary caregiver. So it's laughable to say there was a bad dynamic.
5. I believe Kate has 4-5 people on payroll to blog positive things about her....it's one of those stay at home jobs.
6. She is now on the z-list.
I like the blog topic but we all know we should fix things if we can. The problem is HOW.
How about links to some web sites that offer simple directions and videos for the fix-it challenged ladies? Youtube is a great resource. Or other resources, perhaps there is some kind of hotline you can call, or check out the library nonfiction for literature on various projects. Do some RESEARCH for your blog.
Oh and Kate you didn't know how to hang a simple picture??? Pathetic.
You know ladies, I think I've changed my mind about CC keeping Kate blogging. This is just too funny to give up!
Kate's staring down 40 and feels like hammering a nail is amazing!! and she still. can. not. paint.
Who can't figure out how to paint?
Oh, and kudos for jiggling the toilet handle to "fix' it.
Life after apparently being raised as a princess, having boyfriends, a husband, TLC, a production crew and Steve has made this woman absolutely helpless.
We all have handymen on speed dial, don't we??
She really does sound like a princess. I also love how she refuses to mention who did all the fix-it stuff before. Jon of course. While she gave orders.
Painting is a pain in the butt, the prep is a lot of work, and for that reason I'd rather pay someone. But it's not that hard.
Most of all her blogs never go beyond step 1. For that reason they are useless. Yes we know we should try to fix the toilet, but how do we do that, Kate???
Anyone else notice that ROL didn't cover Ms. Kreider's latest, with a #8 bib no less, AMAZING marathon run? 198
Yep. No tabloid coverage of kk on WWHL, at the Fig and Olive or at the 10K.
I read somewhere that Chris the pap retired after an on the job injury (??) Maybe whoever took his place isn't interested in kk.
(just a reminder, KK= katie killjoy)
@ 199 I hope someone got a picture of her vomiting and posts it.
There are so many YouTubes on how to fix things- I have taken on a lot of these jobs due to costs and my husband being ill this past winter- but I have always known how to hang a picture! I think there should be a mandatory school course for boys and girls that includes shop ( tools), car maintenance, cooking, mending, all the things Kan-do Kate could not do. I am especially interested b/c you never know when you are the one who is responsible to fix what's broken and a handy man is expensive.
The topic of this blog was a good one, but I leaned zilch as usual from Kate.
Seriously? she can't hang a picture?
Yes see I think the topic is a good one, but she needs so much help with blogging. Her blog post is a CONTENT FARM post, not a real post designed to help. To see posts that are NOT content farm posts and actually are helpful, check out Pioneer Woman.
A good post would have said hey ladies these are the four or five BASIC tools you need in your fix-it kit. And these are the 6 or 7 things that are nice to have too.
Then it would have laid out each room and the common problems you might encounter there. Maybe throw in an example of how to fix something simple, then point to other resources around the web that can help you out when something is broken. That would be a START to a great blog post about fixing things.
Sarah @mylilabbster@dowd24 @Kateplusmy8 please know that these bullies DO NOT represent all Americans. I apologize for their rudeness & ignorance ;) 109
I'd like to take a shot as well: Most American moms do not beat the crap out of their toddlers for toileting accidents and "disobedience." And some who do get punished.

She said she USED to not know how to hang a picture. Pathetic. Heck even the hooks you buy have directions on the back how to hang pictures. READ.
Painting is a pain in the butt, the prep is a lot of work, and for that reason I'd rather pay someone. But it's not that hard.

For some reason, I love painting. I love transforming a room with something so (relatively) cheap. I get sample chips, then paint samples, then do a mock up and decide on what color I want.
I particularly enjoy taping. Weird, I know, but I can zip, zip it out in no time.
I don't do high ceilings, or anything that requires going up high on a ladder and I'm no good going free hand, so for those areas, we hire a painter, and that can be a crap shoot!
This may be my queue to finally get around to choosing a new color for a couple rooms that need a face lift and fresh look.
Formerly Duped, 158...Glycine. I noticed as I got close to using my 30-day supply that the effect was quite a bit less. I started adding one calcium tablet to my night time routine. I have been using the combination for about 10 days now.
I sleep deeply. My dogs wake me around 2:30 for their bladder break. I go right back to bed and quickly to sleep. Mornings are a bit sluggish till coffee and stretching work their magic.
I suggest -- please try calcium with your glycine. (Or drink a glass of warm milk. Not for me....)
7. Kate runs in an attempt to remake herself into a fitness guru, and gives her all the excuse in the world to keep traveling with Steve.
8. I think what is going to bring her down is that no amount of legal paperwork protects child abuse. And her kids are talking. The flood gates will open. Count on that Kate!
9. Probably her favorite children will try to protect her....but the rest will turn on her big time.
10. YES....everyone eventually leaves her. (Only a matter of time before purseboy looses the thrill.) And now the world knows why.
Maybe try Gaba Clam- is that the name?
&&&&&&
Is this a new menu item at Red Lobster? :)
Yes, GABA Calm does work, but I found it takes a few hours to take effect. I use the capsules, so perhaps the sublingual (I almost typed bilingual) might work better.
Didn't CanDo Kate build a barn door on an episode? I know she built it all by herself, cuz reality teevee wouldn't lie, would it???
lol
There was a time that I kept a running list for the “fix it” man and when there were five or so items on the repair list, I gave him a call. I honestly didn’t know how to hang a picture, or do any simple home improvement repairs – and of course, anything beyond that was not even an option for me.
Juggling eight kids with work and running the basics of our home also didn’t allow for much home repair education. However, as time has gone on, I’ve stepped into the never-ending world of tools, gadgets and fix-its that is Lowe’s and Home Depot and I’m happy to report that I no longer feel like an alien on planet Earth.
Now I go beyond just taking note of things like broken toilets and furnace problems but have even become excited about trying to fix them myself. In the process, I’ve managed to not only save frustration and time but most importantly, I’ve saved a lot of money. Who wouldn’t get excited about that?
I certainly cannot fix everything, but just this week alone, I’ve managed to repair a hand towel rack, a shower curtain rod that was sagging, a toilet handle that had broken AND I put oil in my car – all without the use of a handyman.
I am still amazed (and so are my kids!) that in the past, I’ve taken on barn alterations to accommodate our growing flock of chickens using a staple gun, drill and hammer. I feel that it’s important that my kids see me addressing household problems and attempting to fix them on my own.
Mind you, there are plenty of home repairs that I can’t tackle myself like repairing drywall, and oh yes, painting, just to name a few. For those things, and many others I still gladly budget for a handyman. But, it’s so freeing to know that even I can learn to be a “Ms. Fix It” and save lots of money in the process.
So, you heard it from me. If I can save money on home repairs by applying the “do-it-yourself” method, anyone can!
Come on, ladies! Wipe the dust off that hammer, get out those nails and charge up that drill. For the sake of saving money, we can do this!

A fantastic tie-in would be that at this time of year, Christmas sales are starting (already, I know) and there are lots of tool kids on sale for the (mostly) guys.
When I was on my own, from the get-go I had a tool box that had all of the essentials. I don't know, maybe it was because my dad was very handy and maybe because I have a brother, but I was always privy to what to have handy to fix things.
In fact now, DH and I both brought our own tool boxes into the marriage and he has absolutely defiled mine! It is stuffed with I don't know what crap! Old hinges, a door stop, etc.
It drives me NUTS to go into the tool boxes for something specific and I can't find it!
I don't know if I'll ever reclaim my own toolbox, but such are the little things you have to let go of sometimes ;-)
Dmasy and Moose:
Thanks! lol -see how tired I am- Clam, wth? I will add calcium- I have the chewable ones. Milk never worked for me either. I will also look into Gaba Calm sublingual!
My dog also goes out once per night, sigh. I think I don't fall into a deep sleep until I now that's taken care of.
I really appreciate the ideas . I am so tired I am shaky!
.....Or does anyone else think that this is all bullshit and she just needed something to write about....so she made up a bunch of useless junk to say?
LOL, she can build a barn door but can't hang a picture, lol...yeah,,rriigghhttt....
but, mentioning the toilet, anyone remember one of the boys breaking the lid on the base of the toilet? those things are heavy, lol..
Fixing a furnace..hmm,idk about that one. I'd leave that to someone who KNOWS something about furnaces (I'd hate to gas anyone while they slept).
I can fix drywall and paint, but can't build a barn door (well, never tried either,lol)..does that mean Kate is smarter than me? I didn't wash out of a community college after three months,but have a BA from a D1 school, help me, I am confused.lol

My dad gave each girl a toolbox when she moved out of the house.
I had -- and still have -- the toolbox. My husband didn't even have a hammer when we got married, and is hopeless with fixing thing, to my utter frustration. I have to fix everything, lol.
heather
I don't even think Kate wrote this. There's a shockingly lack of exclamation points! ! ! ! ! ! !
On Kate's newest blog post, thanks aggiemom for bringing it over...LOL, well we know she did not write it, and it's another dig at Jon. ....And she's trying to go after Lowes and Home Depot endorsements, I'll have something to say about that. As long as Kate forces herself on society as a public figure, there will be people ready and willing to expose her. She is fair game.
She has plenty of money to retire, get some therapy and care for her kids....but she PREFERS to be a cele, and travel in style with her mylover bodyguard.
Tick-tock.

I read somewhere that Chris the pap retired after an on the job injury (??)
------
Actually, Chris has not retired, but has moved on...if you notice the latest pics of Little Honey Boo Boo on INF (where she's climbing into the wrestling ring), the photo was credited to Chris.
I think it's HYSTERICAL that Chris has moved on to taking pictures of the "new" TLC break-out star. Katie Irene is so OLD news.
In Kate's CC blog, she writes "...juggling 8 kids with work...". Huh? What "work"? She hasn't had a job in years! And this crappy CC blogs she puts out take about 15 minutes tops, so what is she "juggling" the 39 hours and 45 minutes of an average work week?
By the way, Kate, I've had my own toolkit for about 15 years and can do a variety of small household repairs myself, including painting. And I've been doing for years without your useless blog crap. Sheesh.
I think it's HYSTERICAL that Chris has moved on to taking pictures of the "new" TLC break-out star. Katie Irene is so OLD news. 184
Thanks for clarifying.
Sorry this is long, but it’s something that’s been puzzling me. Remember a while back how Jon did an interview saying something about Kate’s a good mom?
There was something “off” about that interview because she is clearly NOT a good mom. No way could any sane person observing her, let alone living with her, come to the conclusion that she’s a good mom.
His words and body language were oddly submissive. He had a sheepish/guilty look on his face, IMO. At the time there was speculation that he was saying that in order to get more custody or something. Which may well have been true, but I’m starting to wonder about that now.
There was something really weird about that interview. Like there was a hidden message to Kate.
He was apologetic, saying he’d done things (presumably to Kate) that he wouldn’t want done to him.
That’s the piece that didn’t make sense to me. It seemed like an odd thing to say. Like what things?
Yeah, he was out seeing other women, but she was emotionally involved with Steve long before that (even if only one-sidedly, and perhaps not romantically, but still involved) AND she’d supposedly told him he could do so; Jon being out with other women shouldn’t have been a problem.
Yeah, he behaved incredibly stupidly for many months around the divorce, but she was beating toddlers and dogs for years.
She had tricked him (one way or another) into having more kids than they’d agreed to. I couldn’t imagine that anything he had done was worse than that.
So…what things would he have done to her that he wouldn’t want done to him? What would be worse than tricking him into have HOM?
Hmmm….hmmm….hmmm…. Having a hand in gosslinbook? We might be getting closer to the truth here. Maybe he had a hand in something private becoming public?
I wonder if the sheepish look and the apologetic words were because by that time Kate was aware of what information gosselinbook had, and would *know* what part Jon had played in that book coming about, that he had somehow betrayed her.
Maybe he somehow was involved in gosselinbook becoming aware of the information, or outright gave gosselinbook some of the information.
Or he was regretful about having let gosselinbook into their lives….he didn’t realize that gosselinbook would get so worked up about the abuse and would become obsessed with stopping it.
I don’t know. There was something there that didn’t make sense. I had a feeling at the time that he was apologizing for something not yet publicly known. That he was feeling partially responsible for a shi*t storm that had yet to hit.
I think it's HYSTERICAL that Chris has moved on to taking pictures of the "new" TLC break-out star. Katie Irene is so OLD news.

Hooboy, Kate's old posse has moved on to Honey BooBoo. Is Steve far behind?
C'mon Steve, with some of your expert guidance, June could be the next Redneck Barbie! I can just see her bikini cover on People magazine!

------------
I'm pretty sure it was shown that he didn't say 'good mom.' Not remembering the background on this now -- maybe he said 'she's a mom'?
My son made a toolbox ( wood) in Boy Scouts and they told them what to equip it with.Also how to use tools- some cool projects done. It's there for when he moves out and he uses it occasionally- when not dipping into ours which combines stuff from us both and my parents!
Oh my, the newest CC Blog might possibly be the best yet. Who the heck needs a handyman to put oil in their car? I can CHANGE mine even. And I understand that drywall repairs aren't that hard, and who the heck can't paint?
I just read her CC blog. Thanks, aggiemom.
In EVERY way possible, that woman insults our intelligence.
mel, this was the oddest interview:
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/06/jon-gosselin-says-kate-gosselin-great-mother
I wonder if somehow TLC forced him to do it to stop the lawsuit???
She STILL has to mention her eight kids/large family in her CC blog posts. Couldn't she have written that without it?
Basically, she is still using her kids...because she knows she is NOTHING without that.
In EVERY way possible, that woman insults our intelligence.

It goes to Kate not seeing the world around her. She has zero awareness. To tell her readers that you save money on Halloween by not doing it is useless and to tell them further that they shouldn't call their handyman to hang a picture is laughable.
Because, you know, we all have handymen for that kind of thing. Ugh.
At least Admin explaining that CC is a content farm keeps me from banging my head against the wall when I read Kate's blogs. I take them for what they are--a good laugh.
Here is the author of Jon's interview. I'd really like to know what she thinks of this book, that would explain a lot. If she discounts it, she was told what to write.
http://www.radaronline.com/author/alexis-tereszcuk
It's amazing to me that a site, Coupon Cabin, which is geared toward women, actually has a blogger who does nothing but insult women. Why?
OMG...old articles while googling Kate is a good mom:
http://voices.yahoo.com/kate-gosselin-great-mom-good-wife-poor-actress-1746151.html
A child advocate defending Kate. Really wish these people had copies of the book, and were forced to respond to the revelations.
She could call one of the friends "willing to die for her" and ask them if they would be willing to teach her how to hang a picture. Seems fair...
