Uh-oh. If it's anything like the mystery of the peeling equator, three of those four repairs probably involved a lot of screaming, a beating and an interrogation before she got around to fixing them.
Where's Shoka? Has anyone followed up with the report by @CJgotmesuspende on Twitter that the dog has been taken to a German Shepherd rescue facility in SE Pennyslvania?

Click on @CJgotmesuspende ******* I can't imagine that Shoka would not go back to the breeder. Most make you sign that if you for whatever reason can not take care of the dog, it goes back to the breeder. I have been thinking of Shoka a lot today and wish Robert would spill to us, although I realize there may be legalities at play. Robert--Blink once if Shoka is alive. Blink Twice if he's dead. Blink 3 times if he's with Jon. Just kidding, but would love to know as I can not imagine Kate keeping Shoka around after filming and the fact that her blog never really took off and is all but defunct. I just wish that beautiful dog gets a chance to snuggle, give kisses, jump on couches and beds and eat some delicious people food now and then. Oh, and get to go for long walks in the woods...with his humans.

Well, alrighty then, everyone together now -- A Big Hand for the Little Lady!
Someone needs to ask her what kind of oil she purchased. She would stumble all over trying to answer. ***** I thought the exact same thing. With new, high-end cars, you shouldn't need to add oil between changes....if you are maintaining an oil/filter schedule, which I'm betting Kate doesn't. Low oil=car burning oil=probably dirty oil that has not been changed=engine damage=decreased car longevity and higher repair costs=I'm sorry I'm lost as to how this saves money.
"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." ------------------------------------------------ When one has a broken toilet (whatever that means). does it help to put a post-it note on the toilet indicating its status? I think we all get pretty darn excited about a broken toilet. I know I certainly do.
Does anybody do anything more to their heating system besides replacing the filter?

Here is a real tip. Generally speaking, your local hardware store - if you are lucky enough to have one - carries those items that are needed for local house repairs. These guys at the local hardware store are familiar with the systems that are being repaired in the area and will assist with questions for the immediate market.
There are certail items that need to be purchased at the big box stores but the big box stores sell in bulk and don't cater as closely to the local market.
Well, that CC blog, does show, that Kate is a stupid person. Have to have a handyman put oil in your car, Can't hang a pic, you don't know how to paint? PAINT!, even a child can paint, get a decorating book, look up on internet, there are a few simple rules in painting, that even a simpleton can figure out and do, it's not rocket science. Your kids Kate can help paint, they are not littles anymore, I painted my own room when I was 11, And what is this crap line: with 8 kids and work and running? What work? CC blog, about 5 min or less to write. That's work, let me have the job. Cleaning house, I do not consider on the same lines of paid work, unless you are, a house keeper, maid, cleaning people etc. cleaning house is, you either do it, hire someone to do it, or turn slowly into a hoarder. But that is what everyone needs to do, clean your home. What else does she do all day?
Geez: I knew how to use most tools since I was a little kid. I like tools, and Menards, Homedepo, Lowes and Crafty beaver, Ace, I love those stores, can stay in them for hours. There are a few savings, granted, but you would still have to buy parts, and if you don't know what your doing and screw it up, you will pay twice as much to have it fixed. So doing it yourself, is a 2 way sword. A book or a fix blog or info would be helpful. Kate never mentioned either. This again is a top of Kate's head blog, she did no research, or even say, get a book or look it up on the net, before fixing it. One does not go off half cocked, saying well I looked at it and it is easy to fix. I bought a sink fixture for the bathroom sink, thinking yeah, how hard would it be to, install new one. Shut water off, disconnect, simple. Well it's not, that simple, you have to make sure it fits, you have proper connectors, which you have to put a certain type of glue(depending on what kind of pipes there are, etc. After reading the instructions, I called a plumber. Just like my kitchen drain, I tried all the plumping stuff, including vinger & baking soda, and it was still clogged, called the plumper, he use and air pump thing, and it took 6 times to get it unclogged. I also found out that when using vinger & baking soda, you need to cover the drains, for it to unclog.
Another, Kate bragging blog, totally useless info, stuff people already know.
Wait a minute, in the past week she did all this, when she was away for most of it?? Also, do they kids follow her around telling her how wonderful she is?? Does she (honestly) think anyone believes that her kids are ALWAYS so proud of her for everything she does?? Are the kids really impressed by the most mundane things? She truly is a legend in her own mind.
You guys realize I am the go-to person when asking for copy and paste... ya'll owe me Target gift cards!! nah, I think I'll just be a special 'helper-girl'. :)
(I was especially impressed with her restraint this week with the !!!!!!!!...I only counted 3!!!
I thought the same thing, why is she adding oil to cars? She shouldn't need to do that. I hope she knows an oil change involves more than just topping it off at home.
**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.** ====
Yeah? Well you still act like one. Unless there is a psychology aisle in their store, Lowe's doesn't carry what needs fixing on you Kate.
Kids think a house just runs and fixes itself magically. They have no concept of the hard work involved and would be very unlikely to notice Kate fixed anything let alone sing her praises. Unless of course I'm sure she called attention to it.

What car could she be adding oil to? While it's not impossible, none her of newer high-end vehicles should be burning any oil. Robert mentioned in the book her getting her cars serviced at the dealership and I believe Chris the pap got some pics of her doing that too. I tend to believe she has more concern for her cars than her children.
I think that nugget was another one of her lies, one she thought that would make her look handy. Never realizing that people with even a limited knowledge of cars would know better. Isn't her year at CC up soon? Are they seriously keeping her and her useless and crap info? I hope not.
Of course, all the sheeple will claim that they have 1 or 2 year old cars that they constantly have to add oil to between changes.
Piity Party said... 200 It would appear to me that the running facade is becoming more and more hard for KT to maintain. She is running shorter and shorter distances and by her own admission is having a difficult time. That last one she thought she was going to throw up, which means she probably did throw up, and admits that she was embarrased. ----------------------------------------------- This was posted a couple of days ago, but is interesting to me. It's hard to keep up the enthusiasm to the sport when you are by yourself. Thus, the "daily" runs will be less frequent and shorter.
The other issue is pace. I did a sport that required pace. Pace takes time, effort and support to learn. It's tough to take out these runs in a controlled manner. The tendency is to go out too fast as the excitement of the start is realized.
Katie Irene is somewhere in the 9 to 11 minute mile range. Not too bad for someone my age but pedestrian for a 35 - 40 year old who does little else.
So the flaw to the running career is the lack of training partners which are needed for sanity and pace. If one wants to maintain a program I recommend going to a fitness center. Just the fact that other people are there will go a long way towards providing motivation.
It is possible to be a solitary athlete, however it is not probable.

Lowe's doesn't know how to help kate. And what is it with her and aliens? Jon, what planet are you from? An alien took over Jon's body.
Admin, kids don't have the capacity to understand what adults do because they don't have the context to put it in. Later, when growing up and as an adult, we look back and think, wow, dinner on the table every night must have been a grind. And Dad's endless work outdoors painting, mowing, raking leaves, sealing the driveway. It was never ending but me? Had no idea what work that really was.
Also, I HATE the gender stereotyping that Kate is DRILLING into these kids. She may think that she's Rosie the Riveter, but she's a hand-flapping mess.

As a companion to the $2 millionairess demanding her Gymbo and Loft cards be refilled NOW (clap clap) have you posted the gem where Kate is at the fancy makeup counter at a local mall? Where she tried on makeup for an hour, then had a mini meltdown when she was (gasp) charged full price? Priceless! (pun intended!)

I think we all get pretty darn excited about a broken toilet. I know I certainly do.
Does anybody do anything more to their heating system besides replacing the filter? * * * * * Kate is so full of herself. I highly doubt she even replaced the handle on her toilet - although that is quite simple. My 13 year old son did just that last year. He and I also replaced the little rubber stopper in the tank also. It was a cheap and simple fix.
As to the "furnace problem" - yeah Kate, like I believe you went down to your furnace (in the basement) and banged around doing repairs on it. I call the AC/heating company once a year to come out and check my system for me. I'm sure Kate does the same - if she even makes the call herself!
Had to laugh at the "putting oil in my car" remark. As others have already pointed out, if you are topping up your car's oil, you've got a leak and should probably take the car in to the mechanic to have it checked. Although with the way Kate drives (bat out of heck), I wouldn't be surprised to hear she's got engine troubles.

A clerk at a local department store had an amusing experience with ‘Kate the celebrity’ as she put it to me in 2009. She was working the makeup counter and Kate was there for almost an hour testing products and asking for free samples of everything. Then, when the clerk totaled up her bill, Kate demanded to see the store manager to ask why she was being charged so much. When the manager told Kate that that’s what the items cost, Kate laughed and told them that she was Kate Gosselin and she’s on television and she’s not used to paying for things. Kate stormed off telling them that she would never shop there again. This was a store that, years before donated thousands of dollars worth of clothing and furniture to Kate, when she may have actually needed it for her kids.

If those 3 expensive, still-under-warranty cars are leaking oil, she has bigger problems than she thinks. Oil leaking on kate's concrete!???! There would be temper tantrum magna oozing across state lines. None of those vehicles is leaking oil and if they are, I am waiting for the post that says superwoman learned how to change an engine.
New cars in decent shape dont need oil added to them unless something is very wrong and they are leaking on the garage floor. In which case, Collin probably got a beating, just for good measure.
xxxxxx @MyBorderCollie @kateplusmy8 Hmmmm,yeah,I hear he's broke. They are BEGGING strangers to help with his legal fund.RTing & saving tweets.....
Where has Robert BEGGED to help with legal fund? On the Gosselinbook blog? I don't recall ever reading that! Or is this just another one of the sheeple's deflections/misinformation to stir things up in their character assassination? If so, they really are grasping at straws in their feeble attempt at discrediting the author.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, in an econo 13 gallon drum; grifted of course.
She is lying about this. Lying. If her vehicles were leaking or burning oil she would have been at the shop so fast demanding free repairs. And she would have blathered on and on about it all, including her efficient and productive her tantrums were at getting her warranty work done.
Maybe she bought a can of Pam spray and misted on the engine block.

Yep. It was a misquote. It happens all the time and I'm told he was quite upset by it. But felt trying to correct it would make him seem like a jerk, which it would.

If a car is leaking oil, you find out where the problem is and you get it fixed. You don't keep adding oil, only to have it leak!
"New cars in decent shape dont need oil added to them unless something is very wrong and they are leaking on the garage floor."
@@@@
The cars weren't purchased new, and we don't know that any of them is still under warranty. I believe each one of them is a used vehicle, in which case, yes, they could be needing oil added to them. I purchased a two-year-old vehicle, with next to no miles on it, and for some reason, my oil light goes on and I need to add oil. It's been checked several times, and it's not leaking, it just has a voracious appetite for oil.
Sweet Tart: I had a leak in my toilet, a year ago. I have a real old toilet, the parts inside are mixed, so when one part went, I had to call a plumber, and he stripped the whole inside of the flushbox and put all new parts in, it works like a brand new toilet. It was a $150. to fix, well worth the money. As for furnace, I just had the heating guy here to check and clean my furnace. I have a gas hot water, type, with raidators. And check my hot water tank. He checked pressure, flame, vacuumed, and check connectors, and flushed the holding tank, pulled out the pilot rods, and cleaned them, checked for rusting wear. I don't think Kate would even tackle anything of that sort, maybe change filter. This guy knew what to look for, & smell for. I leave the furnace to the pros. I can patch walls, infact I still have the wall my Rosie, put holes in to patch. Kate needs to teach her kids(or was Kate the one who put the hole in the wall)not to put holes in walls. Or is there, more wrong with the Tups than Kate is saying? Maybe a little Autism, there are many levels. Or is it just Kates anger, falls down to the kids and they do what they see. If they or kate are putting holes in the walls, they have anger issues, and really need therapy.
She put in WASHER FLUID, girls! She managed to put in a gallon of blue washer fluid, and even KART realizes how mediocre that is so she upped to adding oil instead of washer fluid.
Actually, she probably didnt even refil the resevoir herself, but rather splashed 1/2 jug on the windshield, ran the wipers, then drove to the dealership to demand someone there refill it for her.

I don't know if Jon wanted that revealed. I chose to without asking anyone. I've only mentioned it twice, I haven't been spreading the word. In any case anyone can believe what they want. I'm not sure I even believe it quite frankly, maybe he just had remorse for saying that. Who knows. I don't care if he wants to call her a great mom, he's not a parental alienator.

If the vehicles are under warranty, and engines do have lonnnnnnng warranties, no dealership shop should be sending you home saying "dunno... live with it, lady." Oil problems are engine problems and THAT is warranty. A stand alone repair place maybe, but not a dealership shop that knows warranty work.
I still think that after much hysteria, exhaustion, and many hired hands, she managed to top off her washer fluid.
Anger issues - I have two bathrooms, and a couple of years ago, had a plumber out who basically replaced the entire "fixings" in the tank. Seems that it ran around $150 to $170 for the repairs. I am like you - happy to do the simple repairs, but I would not tackle anything more in depth because I want it done right :)
I once put a hole in my bedroom wall in a fit of temper while trying to hang a picture. Pounded the hammer a leeeetle bit too hard and left a hole. However, I did patch it the next day with a patch kid purchased from Lowe's. I do agree that if someone is consistently punching holes in walls, that ought to be a red flag. Whether it's an adult in the house or children.

Jon is trying to be a good parent out of the stoplight....Kate is desperately clinging to her last minute of fame. When she has no excuse to travel....will she give PurseBoy an ultimatum??
Paula said... 49 So, what did Jon say/do that was "passive-agressive". Is this your word of the day and you wanted to try it out somewhere?
***************************
No, it's not my "word of the day." I'm fairly confident that my vocabulary is on a par with yours. My spelling just might be better, since I actually know how to spell "aggressive." Read the thread if you want to know what I indicated was passive-aggressive. I don't need to repeat myself for you.
FYI...Jon Gosselin referred to himself as passive-aggressive in the same article referenced above. Was that a misquote too?
Let me guess....Kate was the one that originally told Jon he was passive-aggressive. Wonder what she thinks her diagnosis is??? Or she is so self-unaware as someone once said, that she has never given it a thought.
I wish Kate could be a little less aggressive....beating your 2 yr olds all the way to their cribs is a bit much, wouldn't you think? berating your kids until they have a glazed look isn't a good mommy characteristic..nor is jerking them up by their hair.
The 'spanker' was on tape...did it get paid or did it have to sign on the dotted line for eternal silence??
What's sad is Jon doesn't keep on giving for the sheep; whereas, Katie Irene is the gift that keeps on giving for the rest of us. Thus, we've always got new material to discuss. The sheep? Not so much.

I don't know if they still make it, but there used to be a product that was sort of like playdoh. You kneaded it then used it to hang pictures and posters.

The cars weren't purchased new, and we don't know that any of them is still under warranty. I believe each one of them is a used vehicle, in which case, yes, they could be needing oil added to them. I purchased a two-year-old vehicle, with next to no miles on it, and for some reason, my oil light goes on and I need to add oil. It's been checked several times, and it's not leaking, it just has a voracious appetite for oil. _______________________________________ Have you called the manufacturer about it? Could be a problem other cars, same make/model and year as yours are having as well and they have a fix for it. You never know.
Kate is the one that likes to "label" people. Just listen to the beginning of the shows. I can think of a few labels for her.
IMO....As the details of the book come out, more bloggers will write about them. I am sure Stevie and her PR people were first to leak less offense details to make it look like the book was old news.
Blue tack (sp?) ? You would use little blobs rolled out for lighter weight things on the wall- I put those glow in the dark stickers up with it on my son's ceiling.Then when you want to remove them, it peels, cleans right off.
Made cup of hot tea and sat down to enjoy some really clever posts. Dwindle, 24 -- back to your wonderful, rare form. The last suggestion for saving money was a laugh out loud!
Sweet Tart, I heard your voice when you typed "a leeeetle bit too hard."
Confidence in justice is returning. We will get a Shoka report. Robert's book will re-release. And, main stream press will sit up and take notice.
Have always wondered why no one calls her out on her address listed for the Rock and Roll Marathons - Katie Kreider lists her address as Beverly Hills, CA???? She may have visited there but has never lived there!!! Hello Sheeple - this is a classic example of Ms. Katie LYING!!!! HELLO - SHE LIVES IN WERNERSVILLE, PA. And no, she does not live in a mansion, she may have a large house, but it is NOT a mansion.
Tragically a little two-year-old boy in our town choked to death on a picture hook this past summer. Now I'm wondering if it was one of those command type hooks. I've never used them...are they easy enough for a toddler to remove from a wall or a fridge?

Nah, I sleep with mine. Hubs can fix anything. If he doesn't know how, he looks it up online. As far as painting, I didn't know how to paint. Hubs taught me that. Now when we paint, he cuts in at the ceiling line and baseboards and I do the walls. He also taught our girls how to paint although the youngest one is not a fan. I actually find painting enjoyable because it makes a room look fresh and new when your done.

I use something called poster putty; probably the same thing. Alllll over the house. I hang pictures on wall paper with it even. Also I learned when my kids were little that cup hooks were my friend. They screw in practically by themselves and hold up anything.
Why does this woman manage to accomplish the tiniest things, 20 years too late, and then act like she invented space ships all on her own. I honestly dont understand it. Does she really think the rest of the female gender on this planet is even stupider than she is?
If Kate got her new boobage in the spring of 2009 (she had them during Memorial Day at Bald Head), then why isn't she wearing them in the purple dress on the People Cover in January, 2010?

Mine can fix anything, build anything...last week, bought a gorgeous light fixture,but it was too big.not to get into too many details, but he shortened it and it works perfectly. when the twins were little, they got a game that spewed butterflies (think it was called elefun, or something like that). he 'tweaked' it..those butterflies shot out of that contraption like st. helen, lol..

This cracked me up! could have been written by me. I usually cook mine dinner too.
Mine taught all of 4 of my kids to change their oil, change a tire, and 2 of them can do simple brakes. But before HunnyBunny I still patched walls, replaced broken glass in a window, replaced screens, caulked windows, changed locks on doors, drained and cleaned out hot water tanks, you know- the regular stuff.
Rainbow, she has the boobs covered. Sheesh! Look at the photos inside...you can see her in that same top. The boobs are bigger than what she had in the past...definitely the cup size is bigger. Not all tops show a lot of cleavage. Why argue? The woman had a boob job. Period.
Sorry, couldn't resist. Before he developed heart issues, mine was great at all these things too. Worst experience: Removing 8 (yes, really) layers of wallpaper from horsehair plaster. We did this together. Never again.
We wouldn't be able to live in our 60-year-old home if it weren't for his ability to fix all things broken and malfunctioning.
I had many years between divorce and this marriage. During the housing boom, I restored two SMALL Victorian homes. The flipping was very profitable. My brother-in-law was my part-time hired help. I got dirty and I learned a lot. Read the instructions and you can accomplish ANYTHING.
Auntie said it best -- Kate is a hand flapping mess!
Formerly -- Yes! I could only think "tacky" something (tacky as in sticky, not tacky as in poor taste), but couldn't remember if that was the name of it. It worked for most anything lightweight, and never left a mark or needed a cleanup.
I think it's fantastic! that a lot of you guys do stuff. Since, certain people in this world, think women are only good for making babies, cooking, cleaning and being sub-servant to a man. Kudos to you guys. And the few of you that do more than common stuff, you have a gift. Cause, not everyone can tile, and re-do wood etc. I pat you on the back, good job! As for Kate doing any of it, NOT! Even that barn door, PLEASE! it was filmed, staged, Kate did not really do it. Anyone can take a pic or film a person holding a hammer, making everyone think they did it. Just like Kate takes credit for raising the kids, not to mention, Jon gets the kids half the time, and prior to Kates new found BS on fixing things, Jon did it all, with some help from her brother. BS KATE!
I see Kate is on twitter silence again. What happen Kate, running made you poor dear tired, or disappointed that none of the other Talk shows, asked you to be on their shows? Spending an extra couple of days in NYC, probably getting hair done. Meeting up with her buddy Deanna. We all know Kate will make the trip to LA about a week long, if she can. You know travel, pre-prep race, eating time, race, recover time, interviews(maybe), shopping, then go home, so what 7-8 days, yes, Kate according to her sheeple/fans/lackeys, needs a mini vacation.
Kate has a very large home on over 25 acres of land? Not a small house, not an economical house. Not everyone has stables on their acreage.
No, Kate is not hurting for space in her house.Kate is not wanting/hurting/needing. That would be the 8 children.
Unfortunately, Kate does not appreciate what she has. She wants MORE. She wants bigger and better.
If Kate had known how serious Jon was about ending that TV show, Kate would have moved to Beverly Hills, Ca so that she could get out of Pennsylvania.
Kate thought Jon was going to go along with her lying, cheating, abusing ways and when he pulled that plug, well she did not want to be in Wernersville, PA. Still does not want to be there.
She sees herself in Beverly Hills, CA living next dooor to Dr. Phil and his lovely wife as they advised Kate on media, Brands, expanding Brands, but the plug was pulled.
Can you feel yourself being sucked into the drain yet Kate?
Maybe she is working one of the many jobs milo says she has. Guess she job hops too. Maybe the sheeple have never worked and don't understand that when you are self employed often all you do is job hop. I think most self employed would take great offense to be called unstable for that. Kate included.
Maybe Kate is just wrapping herself in a blanket, soaked from trying to walk around NY in the rain, "look at me, I'm here, still here" and then she is back to her hotel room waiting to hear from her Media PR team as they try like HELL to get her on any TV interview show.
NADA, all doors closed now, never to open again, no everyone is reading the re copied copy of Robert Graham's book.

I'm not arguing! SHEESH! I know she had a boob job, period or no period. I looked at the photo and I thought it just looked strange that there was no cleavage, nor did they look like they were pushed off to the side. I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It will never happen again. I am not a sheeple. I know a boob job when I see it, and she most certainly had one.
I wonder if she was upset that she paid that much money for new boobs and they were nowhere to be found on the cover of the magazine!
Well, People 'did' lose Kate's belly button.......

I wonder if the first words out of her mouth when she saw that were..."Can we sue?" ---------- LOL!!!!! that's hilarious! thanks for my laugh of the day.... :)
Auntie Ann, so sorry to hear about the toddler in your neighborhood that died. How sad and my prayers to their family.
I have used the 3M hooks for quite a few years and they are not something a young child can get off, if at all. The hook part slides on and "clicks" in. To remove them, you lift the hook part off, then have to pull down on the tape to detach the back part from the wall.
I would think a small child would attempt to pull/yank on the hook to get it from the wall, and that wouldn't do it, unless the back part wasn't put on securely. However, if the back part isn't put on securely, the hook wouldn't hold anything and it would probably fall.
When used properly, these are very good hooks to use that hold different weights, depending on the size you buy, and they do not leave any marks on the wall or and wood surfaces. I use them for all of my holiday decorations throughout the year.

Who is Robert Graham?

Is she still around? I thought her blood pressure was something like 300/200, her kidneys failed and she blew a major hole in her heart. She's still able to tweet and come up with all of those names? Miracles do happen!

I agree. I use them, too, and can't imagine a toddler could pull them off the wall. Moreover, why would you hang something low enough that a child could reach it? They are used for pictures, decorations, etc., not something that would be within a child's reach. Hearing about a child dying is sad. Did he/she take it off the wall, or was it lying around on a counter somewhere that he could get it?
Unfortunately kids can swallow lots of odd things. In the children's hospital I worked in, there was a wall display of retrieved objetcs/ Little cars, coins, safety pins, keys, army men toys, doll parts, nail scissors- amazing. And choking is such a hazard- a toddler in my area choked to death right in front of us on a tidbit of meat handed to her by the deli man despite EMS efforts.
I was super-conscious of this- did Kate ever cut up those 3 grapes? She served some choking hazards for sure.

All that and more! It's a true miracle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I read the Huffington Post article about Kate's earnings on the show and did the calculations. Just from the show alone, they earned over 2 million dollars for those few years. PLUS tyhe money from speaking engagements, love offerings, DWTS, promotional events, etc.
My hubs and I would have to work 30 years to make 2 million dollars. PLUS we had to pay for our own furniture, clothes, vacations, appliances, food, toilet paper, etc., ourselves. Not to mention we do our own household repairs, painting, gardening, lawn mowing, etc.
This worthless woman had it made, but she got greedy and didn't appreciate the FREE THINGS SHE RECEIVED THAT SHE DIDN'T EARN!! She said she will do anything to support her kids. THEN DO IT KATE!! Go back to nursing, get that job at McDonalds that you said you would get on a talk show. DO SOMETHING!! Stop waiting for a TV show to fall into your lap because it's not happening for YOU!
Rainbow, didn't mean to get testy. Thought you were a sheeple. Sorry. I am sure People dressed her for that photo shoot, therefore the tasteful outfit. You are right, she flaunts them but I don't think she had control for the cover photo. And of course, there is always People's love of photoshopping. I am sure she was disappointed she could not let the girls be free.
I went up to Dollar Tree this afternoon for some disposable foil pans and saw tons of happy halloween dress up items for a dollar. You could do a whole classroom of little kids for $50. Bought my little great-niece a tutu skirt, fairy wings, glitter make up that came with clip on earrings and a tiara, all for $3. They had cheerleader costumes, pirate, a bunch of other stuff. Hopefully the G kids will have with their daddy getting creative and get to run and play in his neighborhood and be spooky for halloween.
What did Kate say on one of the shows? Something to the affect that her kids' had very good college funds? Well, then they have the opportunity for more of a future than most parents can provide in this economy.
Yes, we had a fund for our daughter, but it didn't cover it all. We paid extra as she went to college, she received some scholarships because of her grades, and then she took out some college loans as well. When she graduated, her present from us was enough money to pay off half of the college loans. We could have given her more up front, but for one, we didn't have it at the time, and for two, we wanted her to understand how important it is to work for something you want instead of having it handed to you. I don't mean to offend anyone with my second point. It's just that we had 2 friends and they both had the same issue: they took out loans to pay for the college and the kids dropped out and the parents were stuck with the bill. We decided that we would help her with books and part of the tuition and she would take a loan for the rest. That way we thought she would take it more seriously. When she graduated, we covered half of her loans.
Okay, I'm sorry for rambling, but my initial point was if the kids have good college funds, then why is she continuously complaining about money? A nursing job, while they're in school, should cover household expenses if she lives within her means. Basically, she's complaining about money because she wants to live like a celebrity and she doesn't want to work.
If the Gosselin kids have to take out some college loans (now I know I'm opening up myself to criticism now!), that's no different than what many college students have to do. YES, I realize the kids earned the money and it should be theirs, not Kate's, but that's not how it turned out. The sad thing is they are not learning how to work for what you want from their mother. She is teaching to expect everything to be handed to them.
I know I didn't word this post the right way, so please excuse me if it offends anyone.
Jane said... 190 Mel said... 187 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? ------------ 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'? ----------------- He didn't say she was a "good mom". He said she was a GREAT mom"
To add one more thing to my post #133; kids become adults and they have to learn/get help to overcome a poor childhood. Adults cannot use that as an excuse for their poor decisions.
Exactly, Kate is way ahead of the game with her college funds. Especially in this economy I'm guessing there are going to be a ton of parents who had all the intentions in the world of starting a college find but really couldn't.
Misquoted? Seriously? I don't believe that for a millisecond. He said:
He also accepts his share of responsibility for the divorce. "I was passive-aggressive," he says. "Then I'd get mad, but I was the one who wasn't communicating."
Now, he says, times have changed. "I'll call [Kate] up and say, 'Mady's sick. What do I do?' And she'll tell me," he says. "She's a great Mom. We just have different parenting styles."
Jon said the woman whom has brutally, viciously physically and emotionally abused his 8 children for their entire lives is a GREAT MOM. Just makes me sick thinking about it. I can't even imagine how any of the kids would feel reading that.
The only thing that makes me even sicker, and angrier, is that he not only ignored the abuse, he also participated and made money off his children's pain.
chefsummer 138 ------- upthread this was discussed, it got a little testy (lol), but that is NOT what he said. He said, "She's a mom." (go upthread and find it, source is credible)
LoveMyGrandsons - I'm not sure what kind of picture hook it was...from what I understand it was caught in his throat and they couldn't get it out.
We all know too well that babies and toddlers will put anything in their mouth. It's a very scary part of parenting.
Another local tragedy last week. A 9-year-old boy was flipped off the all terrain vehicle he was a passenger on and was killed. He wasn't wearing a helmet. He was riding with his mom's boyfriend...the dad is suing. Awful stuff going on here.
The only thing that makes me even sicker, and angrier, is that he not only ignored the abuse, he also participated and made money off his children's pain.
-------------------
Tamara. You weren't there, and neither was I. You have no idea if he ignored it, if he reported it (and to whom) and what was done about it or if he tried to help her deal with her anger. So much goes on behind the scenes, and it's so easy to criticize...but not everything may be as it seems.

A clerk at a local department store had an amusing experience with ‘Kate the celebrity’ as she put it to me in 2009. She was working the makeup counter and Kate was there for almost an hour testing products and asking for free samples of everything. Then, when the clerk totaled up her bill, Kate demanded to see the store manager to ask why she was being charged so much. When the manager told Kate that that’s what the items cost, Kate laughed and told them that she was Kate Gosselin and she’s on television and she’s not used to paying for things. Kate stormed off telling them that she would never shop there again. This was a store that, years before donated thousands of dollars worth of clothing and furniture to Kate, when she may have actually needed it for her kids.

I'm going to jump out on a limb and say the store she was being unruly in was Boscov's, as I do believe Boscov's was one of the establishments who felt led to grant some of Jon & Kate's "prayers" on the grift list. I'm so glad that manager stood up to her :)
Dwindle, I just signed on. Read what you are talking about. It isn't me. I'm upset. Signing off. Watch as I contact Google.
----------------
Angie, the person doing this is known on the "other" blog as the "oh, yes, she does" person. She's made her way here before and has popped up again within the last few weeks.
Kate's PR team most likely told her to stay off twitter. Don't give info out then TV interviews will come to "get caught up". Either that or Kids are with their Dad and Kate doesn't want to admit anything about Kids or dog.
Tamara, no one is saying Kate beats the crap out of these kids currently. Robert was talking about in the past, mostly when they were babies. Did it occur to you maybe Jon was trying to be encouraging of her improvement, not upset her? Frankly, if she has stopped being physically abusive, I would encourage her too. They are his babies too and whatever he needs to do to encourage a safe environment for them and a calm mother, he should, given that she's probably not going to lose custody of them. Also I don't see how "she's a mom" doesn't fit in that quote too. I.e. she is being a mom--with everything that entails. Either one fits the context.
I don't see what good it does to give an interview talking about what a bad mom she is. Kate's given her share of those about Jon, and they do no good for anyone but her enablers.
Holy Flip! What am I missing? Two Angies? The Angie that stayed up with me on Friday night was an absolute sweetheart? Is there another Angie impersonating that kind woman?
Me of your lyin' eyes - it could be she is lying, we don't know. But the fact is that now that she has publicly, on TV, stated that all the kids have good college funds, she can no longer complain about that. Or use it as an excuse as to why she needs more money.
The might feel that hey, my dad isn't throwing my mom under the bus and he's not poisoning our minds against her. The same can't be said of Kate.
&&&&
Yes. We have no idea what Jon has said to the kids about Kate. That's between them and their therapist. They seem to trust him and respect him. For all we know they have talked at length about Kate and her abuse.
They may actually feel a lot of peace to know that Jon is not angry or resentful and gets along with their mother. In fact, a therapist may have even recommended that Jon praise Kate when she does things that are not abusive and to do his best to get along with her. There is more than one way the professionals recommend to approach this situation. Just because he is being respectful of her right now doesn't mean he supports anything she did to his kids in the past. It simply means he is respecting his children's mother, likely for their sake.
If kids can't have their parents back together, they next best thing is that they at least get along.
Bordie Collie says that Twitter may release their own app for displaying tweets. I guess we'll have to be patient. Unless someone else can find a hack to do it.
I mentioned last night that someone was posting the full names & contact info for Kate's most avid (rabid?) fans. A cautionary tale, I said, that should serve as a reminder that we shouldn't trust anyone online with our most personal information. There are shape-shifters on both sides, bound and determined to "win" whatever war it is that they're waging. (My comment is somewhere in the vicinity of 130 on the previous page.
Anyway, here's Angie's reply to that comment:
Angie said... 132 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.
Well, I'm glad I didn't switch to "blue" and stayed "black". I've given no truly personal info except for states, so I think I'm okay. Thanks for the info, Anonymous.
Administrator, I post no where else. Never have. Have lurked in a lot of places reading, but have not written except here.
Have been here for a while, not a year or so as I read more about Kate & Jon, viewed youtube segments and feel like I have an understanding of the 2 of them. Do not know them. Believe Jon is trying hard to just be a father.
Kate? Horrendous woman who hides so much but it has to come out. I discovered Kate on DWTS and K+8 but first in the beauty salon in magazines and listening to the gals talk about J & K. Interest is now deep.
Have not much more to say to you nice gals. I had problems with identity 4 weeks ago, you all know that. I did the tally for the stretch limo ride. Nothing else I wish to say about ME. Think you know some personal things but not repeating them Admin., which I did at age 50.
I think this is a good, solid blog. I skip around to several, but rarely, never write. One person I read early on until she wore a wig to a Corn Husk Autumn maze I think got bizarre.
Oh I don't know about any of this, but I leave and someone will still use my name and I stay and someone will use my name.
I'm not aware of a single credible report of going blue to post on blogger as a way to steal identity. Using the gmail account elsewhere I don't know, and make sure you click on your name to see that you haven't unknowingly put any personal info on your profile you don't want out there (you need not put anything) but I believe posting on a blog is secure.
I believe this may be an effort to try to get people to go back to black so they are easier to impersonate....

admin, there was someone on here when everyone was going blue who said that she could post in blue under any poster's ID. Someone challenged her to do so, and she did.
Admin, I do agree with you about the blue or black. However, as I said previously, if someone with my name starts posting nasty, insulting things, I trust all of you will know it's not really me. If that happens, I will become "blue".
Blowing I understand that's possible, but it takes a lot more effort. I.e. going into google and changing it, then coming back to post.
Drivebys like a quick driveby, they like to just type in a name. Having to actually have a google account and change the name takes too much effort for most shit stirrers. Hence why blue is a good idea.
Love My Grandsons, I am one person and that is another person. Yes, we held hands, hugged, Dwindle made tea, I had candy bars and Njay wanted candy. It was nice for a while, just feeling comfortable, but this is an open forum and I guess we had a moment that you needed, we also related and it happened. It is nice to be here but I can't stay if I have to feel questioned. I did not post for almost 4 weeks. When I came back I told everyone about not being able to type a message but was reading and saw my name. Furious but I did contact the right people. That is all I can say. Crazy is as crazy does. Someone did post as me almost 4 weeks ago and more in BLUE. That scared me. Everything okay now. I should not be the subject of this Blog. The Mommie of the year was interviewed for a few moments tonight on some show AND HERE IS WHAT I FOUND:
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- It’s been three years since Jon and Kate Gosselin split, so is the mom of eight dating again?
In a new interview with Access Hollywood’s Michelle Beadle, the reality star-turned-author says she’s still flying solo.
“I haven’t [dated],” Kate told Michelle with a laugh, when asked if she’s dipped her toes back into the dating pool. “It’s a hard spot to be in. [Eight children] is a lot to expect from anyone. My kids are great, there’s a lot of them, and that’s only one factor of a million.
“So, I mean, whatever happens.[If] somebody is brave enough to stick around for some period of time it’s probably meant to be,” she added.
Kate, a blogger for CouponCabin.com (which sponsored her New York City Rock and Roll 10K run to raise money for cancer research on Saturday), began jogging as a means of relieving stress, and while her stress level hasn’t changed, she’s learned to change her “reaction” to stress.
“I wouldn’t change anything because I have learned so much and I have learned to deal with high amounts of stress at all times and I have learned what’s important,” she told Michelle. “I have learned that, you know, a juice cup spilled on a table is like, really if that is the worst thing I have to deal with today, I’ll take it!”
Adding, “So, really a lot has changed for me and I have grown up. Going through such a public divorce, and feeling like you have to fight for your kids every day and the things that protect them and the things that are important for them has really, really, really made me realize what is important — and it’s them.”
Protecting her children is paramount to Kate, and she takes many steps to keep their little eyes from reading endless Internet stories about the demise of their parent’s relationship.
In fact, Kate said the kids are “not allowed to Google.”
“If they have school projects, I log them into the laptop and I log them out and they’re very respectful because they know that stuff is out there,” she said. “I remember one time Jon, early on, left a tabloid, a magazine laying around and [daughter] Maddie found it and it devastated her. So, they know that there’s ugly stuff out there and I know that someday they’ll Google and read it, but I also know how close we are and how they’ll be ready for the answers and the truth and the whole, real story someday.
“I’m not afraid of it because I know that I’ve made only good choices and I’ll help them deal with it,” she added
Angie, hon, those that truly know your posts will be able to tell the fake ones from the real ones. However, you need to do what you feel comfortable with. I hope you don't leave because you will be missed by many of the regulars. God bless.
“So, I mean, whatever happens.[If] somebody is brave enough to stick around for some period of time it’s probably meant to be,” she added. (via Erin O'Sullivan)
Sounds like stage craft for Stevie. Cue the interviews where they come out as a couple.
I may be jaded, but IMO there is only one Angie and she is "Oh yes she does!" When some bloggers here mention it, she cries "identity theft!" (LOL) She straightens up for a little while and then falls right back into the "crazy." I, for one, hate reading her posts so I immediately scroll past. She is a fake! Blowing in the wind, I think you agree, right? I would never come right out and be so rude to anyone else on this blog, but Angie is not who she claims to be. I mean really? Three friends dying with cancer? She is seeking attention, plain and simple. This is her usual M.O. If I have offended anyone by this post, I am sorry. At least I am posting using my regular name and am owning it.
I noticed Kate said Steve didn't play with/interact with the kids. Just protected them. If he really is her boyfriend, he has always sounded to me like the type who views the kids as inconveniences and not a rightful part of the family he may become a part of. The fact that he didn't stop Kate when she was going on about her stupid pizza speaks volumes, he should have said no worries Kate I will eat something else. I can't stand men like this. Don't date a woman with kids if you aren't going to be completely devoted to the kids too.
Me or your lyin eyes, okay, even with all circumstantial evidence about Kate and Steve, there's a part of me that still has to disagree. Maybe the logical part, I don't know. I just can't understand how someone who has seen first hand what an abusive, mean, lying biotch she is would get into a romantic relationship with her. I've always felt that is was for the money and the comped trips. Now, his credibility and reputation as a security person is definitely tarnished, being linked to Kate Gosselin for a few years. He has nothing else going so he has to hold onto this to get money. After all, he can't start over at his age because what would his resume say he did for the last five years? Exactly, how embarassing would that be?
There are plenty of men who will stick around and support abusers and nasty women. You'd be surprised.
I think when people live a certain upstanding lifestyle and don't associate with people who don't live that way, it's easy to forget that there are a lot of people out there who live a much less righteous lifestyle. I remember when I first became a lawyer being shocked at the sheer volume of people who had such low standards. I knew they were out there but didn't know it was so pervasive.
Kate said...“I’m not afraid of it because I know that I’ve made only good choices and I’ll help them deal with it,” she added
++++++++++++++
Oh, yes. No doubt about it. It's always a good choice to yank a toddler by the hair and whip him into his crib and then ask God to let him obey you better.
Likewise, being a parental alienator ranks high on the list of good choices. Just bash Dad every chance you get, and then figure out how to deal with it when they ask you why you did it.
I am truly sad that anyone would be malicious enough to try to "mess up" a really good blog. ________________________________________________
I agree! That's why I posted what I did. Being a faithful reader I feel as if I "know" everyone here too. I just hated seeing her take people in with her "stories."
Admin, I understand what you are saying and agree with you. However, I was of the opinion that since Steve got as far as he did in life, he had some type of ethics. Also, I just can't fathom that anyone would knowingly put themselves into a relationship that they know the other person is a biotch. He's seen first hand how she is and I just can't believe that he is that stupid. Who knows? I could be wrong and maybe he is.
I may be jaded, but IMO there is only one Angie and she is "Oh yes she does!" When some bloggers here mention it, she cries "identity theft!" (LOL) She straightens up for a little while and then falls right back into the "crazy." I, for one, hate reading her posts so I immediately scroll past. She is a fake! Blowing in the wind, I think you agree, right?
Are you saying that the "Oh, yes she does" Angie is the same Angie that says someone is impersonating her...that there is one Angie? I'm not sure that I agree because the writing style is so very different. I've read the Oh, yes posts on another blog, and that person couldn't write the way the "other Angie" does if her life depended on it. I suppose anything is possible, but I'm not convinced.
Which is the one who has said that she is an attorney?
"Blowing I understand that's possible, but it takes a lot more effort. I.e. going into google and changing it, then coming back to post."
-------------------
I know, but it only took a few minutes. I was really surprised how quickly the person did it. I understand that it may be work, but these sheeple are quite used to stirring the pot and playing games. For them, anything to create a confusion would be amusing to them.
We've seen a few interviews with Steve and a bit of him on screen and I'm not all that impressed with him as a man or person.
Like I said the way he reacted to the pizza, basically just letting Kate be so mean to everyone over HIS pizza, speaks volumes. What good man wouldn't have stepped in immediately and told everyone that Mady could have the slice?
I don't know how anybody else here feels but I think someone has finally convinced Kate to lay off with all the twitter nonsense. It just seems to me that since the book situation her tweets have become less and less. Has anyone else here noticed this or is it just me?
A few minutes is honestly too much effort for a driveby, trust me. The fact that it's only happened a few times, versus impersonating the names in black has happened many many times, speaks to exactly that.
More likely than not Jon has the kids. She's gone off for a couple days or only tweets once or twice a day all summer long, ever since the 50-50 happened. The fact is she uses twitter as an escape from her kids. Without the kids there, there is no need to escape. She's probably got a glass of wine, is immersed in her paperwork/trolling for freebies, and Real Housewives marathon, having the time of her life in her empty McMansion.
I just re read 113, that sounds like someone who knows Kate. I don't know the witch.
------------------------
That person always implies that she knows Kate, what goes on within the house, what Kate is thinking, where she's going, where Steve is living, how many times a day Kate goes to the bathroom, etc. etc. She also has held more jobs than one person is capable of holding in a lifetime, all up and down the East Coast at the same time!
Heck, I don't know what to think anymore. I need a really good stiff drink.
Dmasy said... 109 ... Read the instructions and you can accomplish ANYTHING. ... ----------------------- YES! Just last month the gear shifter in my manual shift Saturn was totally loose. Didn't engage at all. Google was my friend. First I found and read on a Saturn forum and eventually found people describing exactly my problem. Some were describing a several hundred dollar fix, with tools and skills I didn't have, using parts pulled from junkyard Saturns. (Saturn company went out of business.) Luckily I kept reading the forum and found a post from someone that described a simple fix using one small part a guy on eBay created and sells. I also found youTube videos and photos showing how to take off the center console to verify if that was my problem. I ordered the part from the guy on eBay for under $30, and only needed vise-grip pliers to install it and a screwdriver to remove and replace the center console. Fixed for under $30. HAPPY DANCE!
I don't know which Angie is which but I like them both. At least they both have Kate's number!
This morning I went to the mall! Love, love William Sonoma! Anyway, as I was leaving Nordstrom's the youngest girl, Kendrie, whatever was going in! Is that why she is doing home schooling ? I didn't know shopping was a high school course! She was with a young woman, maybe assistant! No bodyguards, no paps! And in all fairness to her she did smile at me! She seems like a normal girl, still she should be in school! That mall is frequented by lots of celebrities! I'm not impressed they are just people with a high paying profession!

This is why I think Steve is, (
(A) Still married and Kate's his mistress and he won't leave Gina. Which is why she say's-"I'm single"-"I'm still single.
(B) He's divorced and embarrassed he's with Kate.
(C) He using her for money and she knows it and is okay with it.
As long as you can read and follow directions there are many things we can do on our own now. It's not exactly a fix it problem but computers and TVs are another great thing to look up on the internet. Many computer and TV problems can be fixed yourself with help from online forums. Instead of running like a damsel in distress to the computer repair shop and forking over 90 bucks just to have them look at it, try to fix it yourself first. I can't imagine how much money people waste on "my computer is running slow" problems. Look it up, the internet will help you with that.
The exception would be I don't think you should try anything electrical based or otherwise dangerous unless you really know what you are doing. It's worth it to call an expert for that.
In terms of self help the internet is a great resource. There is also soooo much educational material out there. I love Kahn Academy in particular. All free.
Zoe said... 188 ****** Way to go! Intrepid fix on the gear shift. I recently Googled the error code on my dryer and ordered a part for about $30. See ya later appliance repair guy!
Yes, I am saying there is only one Angie. I can't help it. I'm just suspicious. Her protesting too much about someone else using her name after her last "crazy spell" just sends up the red flags for me. Also, this reply just seemed weak: (When asked if there were 2 Angies)
Angie said... 165 Love My Grandsons, I am one person and that is another person.
And her reply at #178 just didn't sit right with me.
Again, this is my opinion. I don't want to make waves on this blog-so I will drop it. I am just going with my gut :)
Zoe 188 said ---- It's amazing what you can find on Ebay!! I've purchased do-it-yourself keyless entry remotes (instructions included) for a fraction of what the dealer would charge. The best deal I got on Ebay was a stepper motor for my suburban gauge that was out (mph gauge said i was going 110 parked in the garage, lol)..dealership wanted almost 1000 to replace all of them (their theory is, one goes out, they are all about to go out), so we buy 6 stepper motors for about 5.00 each. Guy gives up complete instructions, hubby takes the control panel out of the car for the day (which was still drivable, but looked weird!), did some simple sautering, (sp?), and we were back in business. 30 bucks is a *little* bit cheaper than 1000! There's all kind of car forums, etc. I check car forums for anything that goes wrong with any of our cars.
Dmasy, that was so sweet of you to say. Thank you, hon.
Admin, I agree with all that you are saying. There is just the logical part of me that says no one can be that stupid. I agree he doesn't care about the kids, but usually people like that care very much about themselves. Therefore, would he get into a relationship with Kate? I guess it's possible, but the logical part of me says no. However, I very well could be proved wrong in the future!
The internet also has really great resources on cleaning. How to's and tips for cleaning various things from car detail to any room in the house, and low-cost cleaning solutions you can make at home with some basics on hand like bleach, borax, vinegar and water. You could save a real fortune.
All these tips are real money saving solutions and specific, things that a good blog post really needs. Things her blog post never really has. She is a content farm writer and frankly if I were managing her career I would forbid her from associating with a content farm. It cheapens the brand.
Things are heating up on Twitter between Milo and the non-fans. She's really on a "I know everything there is to know about Kate because she is my intimate friend, my personal confidante" rant. It's good entertainment!
I'm not brave enough to tackle much on my car but I DO visit car forums when things go wrong just to get an idea of what it could be and how much it will cost. It helps to go into the repair knowing what you are talking about. As a woman I've found I've been more respected and not likely to get cheated that way. It also helps to seek out one or two people at the shop to build good relationships with so they are remembering you, where I used to live the Shell station manager would patch my tires and fill them all up for only 5 bucks whenever anything went wrong. And in L.A. I get flats a LOT, like every 3 months. There is so much crap on the road. Other places I've gone to charge 20. He did it because I was completely loyal to him always went to him with any repairs.
I googled the Kardashian young lady , her name is Kylie! But she still should be in school! You are only in high school once, and that horrid mother kris Jenner is stealing that experience from her! I hope Kate doesn't do that to her 8 she has already stolen their childhood!

Uh-oh. If it's anything like the mystery of the peeling equator, three of those four repairs probably involved a lot of screaming, a beating and an interrogation before she got around to fixing them.
Where's Shoka? Has anyone followed up with the report by @CJgotmesuspende on Twitter that the dog has been taken to a German Shepherd rescue facility in SE Pennyslvania?

I don't believe the added oil to her car detail. I don't believe she would know how to lift the hood on any of her vehicles.
She thinks that "fib" makes her sound credible.
Someone needs to ask her what kind of oil she purchased. She would stumble all over trying to answer.

I can't imagine that Shoka would not go back to the breeder. Most make you sign that if you for whatever reason can not take care of the dog, it goes back to the breeder.
I have been thinking of Shoka a lot today and wish Robert would spill to us, although I realize there may be legalities at play.
Robert--Blink once if Shoka is alive. Blink Twice if he's dead. Blink 3 times if he's with Jon.
Just kidding, but would love to know as I can not imagine Kate keeping Shoka around after filming and the fact that her blog never really took off and is all but defunct.
I just wish that beautiful dog gets a chance to snuggle, give kisses, jump on couches and beds and eat some delicious people food now and then. Oh, and get to go for long walks in the woods...with his humans.

I thought the exact same thing. With new, high-end cars, you shouldn't need to add oil between changes....if you are maintaining an oil/filter schedule, which I'm betting Kate doesn't.
Low oil=car burning oil=probably dirty oil that has not been changed=engine damage=decreased car longevity and higher repair costs=I'm sorry I'm lost as to how this saves money.

She went to the store, purchased some oil, and put the purchase in her car.
Therefore, technically she put oil in her car.
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.
---> Milo has the non-fans blocked, hence we cannot communicate with her directly.
"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."
------------------------------------------------
When one has a broken toilet (whatever that means). does it help to put a post-it note on the toilet indicating its status? I think we all get pretty darn excited about a broken toilet. I know I certainly do.
Does anybody do anything more to their heating system besides replacing the filter?

Here is a real tip. Generally speaking, your local hardware store - if you are lucky enough to have one - carries those items that are needed for local house repairs. These guys at the local hardware store are familiar with the systems that are being repaired in the area and will assist with questions for the immediate market.
There are certail items that need to be purchased at the big box stores but the big box stores sell in bulk and don't cater as closely to the local market.
Well, that CC blog, does show, that Kate is a stupid person. Have to have a handyman put oil in your car, Can't hang a pic, you don't know how to paint? PAINT!, even a child can paint, get a decorating book, look up on internet, there are a few simple rules in painting, that even a simpleton can figure out and do, it's not rocket science. Your kids Kate can help paint, they are not littles anymore, I painted my own room when I was 11, And what is this crap line: with 8 kids and work and running? What work? CC blog, about 5 min or less to write. That's work, let me have the job. Cleaning house, I do not consider on the same lines of paid work, unless you are, a house keeper, maid, cleaning people etc. cleaning house is, you either do it, hire someone to do it, or turn slowly into a hoarder. But that is what everyone needs to do, clean your home. What else does she do all day?
Geez: I knew how to use most tools since I was a little kid. I like tools, and Menards, Homedepo, Lowes and Crafty beaver, Ace, I love those stores, can stay in them for hours. There are a few savings, granted, but you would still have to buy parts, and if you don't know what your doing and screw it up, you will pay twice as much to have it fixed. So doing it yourself, is a 2 way sword. A book or a fix blog or info would be helpful. Kate never mentioned either. This again is a top of Kate's head blog, she did no research, or even say, get a book or look it up on the net, before fixing it. One does not go off half cocked, saying well I looked at it and it is easy to fix. I bought a sink fixture for the bathroom sink, thinking yeah, how hard would it be to, install new one. Shut water off, disconnect, simple. Well it's not, that simple, you have to make sure it fits, you have proper connectors, which you have to put a certain type of glue(depending on what kind of pipes there are, etc. After reading the instructions, I called a plumber. Just like my kitchen drain, I tried all the plumping stuff, including vinger & baking soda, and it was still clogged, called the plumper, he use and air pump thing, and it took 6 times to get it unclogged. I also found out that when using vinger & baking soda, you need to cover the drains, for it to unclog.
Another, Kate bragging blog, totally useless info, stuff people already know.
Wait a minute, in the past week she did all this, when she was away for most of it?? Also, do they kids follow her around telling her how wonderful she is?? Does she (honestly) think anyone believes that her kids are ALWAYS so proud of her for everything she does?? Are the kids really impressed by the most mundane things? She truly is a legend in her own mind.
If Kate has to learn how to do her own fix-its, (sniff)does that mean the "Smith's" don't know how to help her anymore??

I thought the same thing, why is she adding oil to cars? She shouldn't need to do that. I hope she knows an oil change involves more than just topping it off at home.
**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.**

Yeah? Well you still act like one. Unless there is a psychology aisle in their store, Lowe's doesn't carry what needs fixing on you Kate.
Kids think a house just runs and fixes itself magically. They have no concept of the hard work involved and would be very unlikely to notice Kate fixed anything let alone sing her praises. Unless of course I'm sure she called attention to it.

I thought the same thing too! What car could she be adding oil to? While it's not impossible, none her of newer high-end vehicles should be burning any oil. Robert mentioned in the book her getting her cars serviced at the dealership and I believe Chris the pap got some pics of her doing that too. I tend to believe she has more concern for her cars than her children.
I think that nugget was another one of her lies, one she thought that would make her look handy. Never realizing that people with even a limited knowledge of cars would know better. Isn't her year at CC up soon? Are they seriously keeping her and her useless and crap info? I hope not.
Of course, all the sheeple will claim that they have 1 or 2 year old cars that they constantly have to add oil to between changes.

It would appear to me that the running facade is becoming more and more hard for KT to maintain. She is running shorter and shorter distances and by her own admission is having a difficult time. That last one she thought she was going to throw up, which means she probably did throw up, and admits that she was embarrased.
-----------------------------------------------
This was posted a couple of days ago, but is interesting to me. It's hard to keep up the enthusiasm to the sport when you are by yourself. Thus, the "daily" runs will be less frequent and shorter.
The other issue is pace. I did a sport that required pace. Pace takes time, effort and support to learn. It's tough to take out these runs in a controlled manner. The tendency is to go out too fast as the excitement of the start is realized.
Katie Irene is somewhere in the 9 to 11 minute mile range. Not too bad for someone my age but pedestrian for a 35 - 40 year old who does little else.
So the flaw to the running career is the lack of training partners which are needed for sanity and pace. If one wants to maintain a program I recommend going to a fitness center. Just the fact that other people are there will go a long way towards providing motivation.
It is possible to be a solitary athlete, however it is not probable.

An alien took over Jon's body.
Admin, kids don't have the capacity to understand what adults do because they don't have the context to put it in. Later, when growing up and as an adult, we look back and think, wow, dinner on the table every night must have been a grind. And Dad's endless work outdoors painting, mowing, raking leaves, sealing the driveway. It was never ending but me? Had no idea what work that really was.
Also, I HATE the gender stereotyping that Kate is DRILLING into these kids. She may think that she's Rosie the Riveter, but she's a hand-flapping mess.

Kate is so full of herself. I highly doubt she even replaced the handle on her toilet - although that is quite simple. My 13 year old son did just that last year. He and I also replaced the little rubber stopper in the tank also. It was a cheap and simple fix.
As to the "furnace problem" - yeah Kate, like I believe you went down to your furnace (in the basement) and banged around doing repairs on it. I call the AC/heating company once a year to come out and check my system for me. I'm sure Kate does the same - if she even makes the call herself!
Had to laugh at the "putting oil in my car" remark. As others have already pointed out, if you are topping up your car's oil, you've got a leak and should probably take the car in to the mechanic to have it checked. Although with the way Kate drives (bat out of heck), I wouldn't be surprised to hear she's got engine troubles.

By special request!!!!!!
A clerk at a local department store had an amusing experience with ‘Kate the celebrity’ as she put it to me in 2009. She was working the makeup counter and Kate was there for almost an hour testing products and asking for free samples of everything. Then, when the clerk totaled up her bill, Kate demanded to see the store manager to ask why she was being charged so much. When the manager told Kate that that’s what the items cost, Kate laughed and told them that she was Kate Gosselin and she’s on television and she’s not used to paying for things. Kate stormed off telling them that she would never shop there again. This was a store that, years before donated thousands of dollars worth of clothing and furniture to Kate, when she may have actually needed it for her kids.

If those 3 expensive, still-under-warranty cars are leaking oil, she has bigger problems than she thinks. Oil leaking on kate's concrete!???! There would be temper tantrum magna oozing across state lines. None of those vehicles is leaking oil and if they are, I am waiting for the post that says superwoman learned how to change an engine.
New cars in decent shape dont need oil added to them unless something is very wrong and they are leaking on the garage floor. In which case, Collin probably got a beating, just for good measure.

She is lying about this. Lying. If her vehicles were leaking or burning oil she would have been at the shop so fast demanding free repairs. And she would have blathered on and on about it all, including her efficient and productive her tantrums were at getting her warranty work done.
Maybe she bought a can of Pam spray and misted on the engine block.
Kate speak-"I put oil in my car YAY me"
Translation-"I brought the oil took it to the car place man. He put the oil in for me and I took all the credit.

The question was is Kate a good mom. Jon replied "she's a mom."
Is that what your anonymous insider told you? Because here's the actual quote from the People interview: "She's a great Mom. We just have different parenting styles." Is your contention that People added the word "great?"
(http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20605781,00.html)
Yep. It was a misquote. It happens all the time and I'm told he was quite upset by it. But felt trying to correct it would make him seem like a jerk, which it would.
Dwindle said, "If those 3 expensive, still-under-warranty cars are leaking oil, she has bigger problems than she thinks"

If a car is leaking oil, you find out where the problem is and you get it fixed. You don't keep adding oil, only to have it leak!
"New cars in decent shape dont need oil added to them unless something is very wrong and they are leaking on the garage floor."
@@@@
The cars weren't purchased new, and we don't know that any of them is still under warranty. I believe each one of them is a used vehicle, in which case, yes, they could be needing oil added to them. I purchased a two-year-old vehicle, with next to no miles on it, and for some reason, my oil light goes on and I need to add oil. It's been checked several times, and it's not leaking, it just has a voracious appetite for oil.
Sweet Tart: I had a leak in my toilet, a year ago. I have a real old toilet, the parts inside are mixed, so when one part went, I had to call a plumber, and he stripped the whole inside of the flushbox and put all new parts in, it works like a brand new toilet. It was a $150. to fix, well worth the money. As for furnace, I just had the heating guy here to check and clean my furnace. I have a gas hot water, type, with raidators. And check my hot water tank. He checked pressure, flame, vacuumed, and check connectors, and flushed the holding tank, pulled out the pilot rods, and cleaned them, checked for rusting wear. I don't think Kate would even tackle anything of that sort, maybe change filter. This guy knew what to look for, & smell for. I leave the furnace to the pros. I can patch walls, infact I still have the wall my Rosie, put holes in to patch. Kate needs to teach her kids(or was Kate the one who put the hole in the wall)not to put holes in walls. Or is there, more wrong with the Tups than Kate is saying? Maybe a little Autism, there are many levels. Or is it just Kates anger, falls down to the kids and they do what they see. If they or kate are putting holes in the walls, they have anger issues, and really need therapy.
BY GEORGE, I'VE GOT IT!!!!
She put in WASHER FLUID, girls! She managed to put in a gallon of blue washer fluid, and even KART realizes how mediocre that is so she upped to adding oil instead of washer fluid.
Actually, she probably didnt even refil the resevoir herself, but rather splashed 1/2 jug on the windshield, ran the wipers, then drove to the dealership to demand someone there refill it for her.

Of course, all the sheeple will claim that they have 1 or 2 year old cars that they constantly have to add oil to between changes.
@@@@
Oops! Sorry about that! See #33. I'm not a sheeple and I have to add oil to one of our cars! :0(
I don't know if Jon wanted that revealed. I chose to without asking anyone. I've only mentioned it twice, I haven't been spreading the word. In any case anyone can believe what they want. I'm not sure I even believe it quite frankly, maybe he just had remorse for saying that. Who knows. I don't care if he wants to call her a great mom, he's not a parental alienator.

Someone needs to ask her what kind of oil she purchased. She would stumble all over trying to answer.

I thought the exact same thing. With new, high-end cars, you shouldn't need to add oil between changes....if you are maintaining an oil/filter schedule, which I'm betting Kate doesn't.
Low oil=car burning oil=probably dirty oil that has not been changed=engine damage=decreased car longevity and higher repair costs=I'm sorry I'm lost as to how this saves money.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I thought the same thing too! What car could she be adding oil to? While it's not impossible, none her of newer high-end vehicles should be burning any oil. Robert mentioned in the book her getting her cars serviced at the dealership and I believe Chris the pap got some pics of her doing that too. I tend to believe she has more concern for her cars than her children.
I think that nugget was another one of her lies, one she thought that would make her look handy. Never realizing that people with even a limited knowledge of cars would know better. Isn't her year at CC up soon? Are they seriously keeping her and her useless and crap info? I hope not.
Of course, all the sheeple will claim that they have 1 or 2 year old cars that they constantly have to add oil to between changes.

If the vehicles are under warranty, and engines do have lonnnnnnng warranties, no dealership shop should be sending you home saying "dunno... live with it, lady." Oil problems are engine problems and THAT is warranty. A stand alone repair place maybe, but not a dealership shop that knows warranty work.
I still think that after much hysteria, exhaustion, and many hired hands, she managed to top off her washer fluid.
Anger issues - I have two bathrooms, and a couple of years ago, had a plumber out who basically replaced the entire "fixings" in the tank. Seems that it ran around $150 to $170 for the repairs. I am like you - happy to do the simple repairs, but I would not tackle anything more in depth because I want it done right :)
I once put a hole in my bedroom wall in a fit of temper while trying to hang a picture. Pounded the hammer a leeeetle bit too hard and left a hole. However, I did patch it the next day with a patch kid purchased from Lowe's. I do agree that if someone is consistently punching holes in walls, that ought to be a red flag. Whether it's an adult in the house or children.

My comment was not passive-aggressive, but thanks so much for the suggestion. (FYI: That's not passive-aggressive, it's sarcastic.)
Did Facts Please draw the short straw over at the sheeple corral?
So, what did Jon say/do that was "passive-agressive". Is this your word of the day and you wanted to try it out somewhere?
Personally, I'd rather talk about Kate.
Jon is trying to be a good parent out of the stoplight....Kate is desperately clinging to her last minute of fame. When she has no excuse to travel....will she give PurseBoy an ultimatum??

***************************
No, it's not my "word of the day." I'm fairly confident that my vocabulary is on a par with yours. My spelling just might be better, since I actually know how to spell "aggressive." Read the thread if you want to know what I indicated was passive-aggressive. I don't need to repeat myself for you.
FYI...Jon Gosselin referred to himself as passive-aggressive in the same article referenced above. Was that a misquote too?
Let me guess....Kate was the one that originally told Jon he was passive-aggressive. Wonder what she thinks her diagnosis is??? Or she is so self-unaware as someone once said, that she has never given it a thought.
I wish Kate could be a little less aggressive....beating your 2 yr olds all the way to their cribs is a bit much, wouldn't you think?
berating your kids until they have a glazed look isn't a good mommy characteristic..nor is jerking them up by their hair.
The 'spanker' was on tape...did it get paid or did it have to sign on the dotted line for eternal silence??
I am so sorry I mistyped "aggressive". Please do not get the spanker after me, I promise to type if correctly next time.
Geez, someone got up on the wrong side of the sheeple bed this morning.
What's sad is Jon doesn't keep on giving for the sheep; whereas, Katie Irene is the gift that keeps on giving for the rest of us. Thus, we've always got new material to discuss. The sheep? Not so much.

September 15, 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.

I don't know if they still make it, but there used to be a product that was sort of like playdoh. You kneaded it then used it to hang pictures and posters. I went through tons of it when I was in college. Of course, it won't work on framed pictures, but it's great for photos and posters and kids' artwork and such.

Have you called the manufacturer about it? Could be a problem other cars, same make/model and year as yours are having as well and they have a fix for it. You never know.
Kate is the one that likes to "label" people. Just listen to the beginning of the shows. I can think of a few labels for her.
IMO....As the details of the book come out, more bloggers will write about them. I am sure Stevie and her PR people were first to leak less offense details to make it look like the book was old news.

Confidence in justice is returning. We will get a Shoka report. Robert's book will re-release. And, main stream press will sit up and take notice.
Have always wondered why no one calls her out on her address listed for the Rock and Roll Marathons - Katie Kreider lists her address as Beverly Hills, CA???? She may have visited there but has never lived there!!! Hello Sheeple - this is a classic example of Ms. Katie LYING!!!! HELLO - SHE LIVES IN WERNERSVILLE, PA. And no, she does not live in a mansion, she may have a large house, but it is NOT a mansion.
Tragically a little two-year-old boy in our town choked to death on a picture hook this past summer. Now I'm wondering if it was one of those command type hooks. I've never used them...are they easy enough for a toddler to remove from a wall or a fridge?

I use something called poster putty; probably the same thing. Alllll over the house. I hang pictures on wall paper with it even. Also I learned when my kids were little that cup hooks were my friend. They screw in practically by themselves and hold up anything.
Why does this woman manage to accomplish the tiniest things, 20 years too late, and then act like she invented space ships all on her own. I honestly dont understand it. Does she really think the rest of the female gender on this planet is even stupider than she is?

You who take those shots at Jon? You can't take those shot at the men in your lives. I am convinced about that.
Jon is a hero in his children's lives, saving them and has been saving them since they were born from that short fused child hating woman.
Jon kept Kate from getting her Brand.

Well, People 'did' lose Kate's belly button.......
I sleep with my handyman, too!
We wouldn't be able to live in our 60-year-old home if it weren't for his ability to fix all things broken and malfunctioning.
I had many years between divorce and this marriage. During the housing boom, I restored two SMALL Victorian homes. The flipping was very profitable. My brother-in-law was my part-time hired help. I got dirty and I learned a lot. Read the instructions and you can accomplish ANYTHING.
Auntie said it best -- Kate is a hand flapping mess!
Formerly -- Yes! I could only think "tacky" something (tacky as in sticky, not tacky as in poor taste), but couldn't remember if that was the name of it. It worked for most anything lightweight, and never left a mark or needed a cleanup.
I think it's fantastic! that a lot of you guys do stuff. Since, certain people in this world, think women are only good for making babies, cooking, cleaning and being sub-servant to a man. Kudos to you guys. And the few of you that do more than common stuff, you have a gift. Cause, not everyone can tile, and re-do wood etc. I pat you on the back, good job! As for Kate doing any of it, NOT! Even that barn door, PLEASE! it was filmed, staged, Kate did not really do it. Anyone can take a pic or film a person holding a hammer, making everyone think they did it. Just like Kate takes credit for raising the kids, not to mention, Jon gets the kids half the time, and prior to Kates new found BS on fixing things, Jon did it all, with some help from her brother. BS KATE!
I see Kate is on twitter silence again. What happen Kate, running made you poor dear tired, or disappointed that none of the other Talk shows, asked you to be on their shows? Spending an extra couple of days in NYC, probably getting hair done. Meeting up with her buddy Deanna. We all know Kate will make the trip to LA about a week long, if she can. You know travel, pre-prep race, eating time, race, recover time, interviews(maybe), shopping, then go home, so what 7-8 days, yes, Kate according to her sheeple/fans/lackeys, needs a mini vacation.
Kate has a very large home on over 25 acres of land? Not a small house, not an economical house. Not everyone has stables on their acreage.
No, Kate is not hurting for space in her house.Kate is not wanting/hurting/needing. That would be the 8 children.
Unfortunately, Kate does not appreciate what she has. She wants MORE. She wants bigger and better.
If Kate had known how serious Jon was about ending that TV show, Kate would have moved to Beverly Hills, Ca so that she could get out of Pennsylvania.
Kate thought Jon was going to go along with her lying, cheating, abusing ways and when he pulled that plug, well she did not want to be in Wernersville, PA. Still does not want to be there.
She sees herself in Beverly Hills, CA living next dooor to Dr. Phil and his lovely wife as they advised Kate on media, Brands, expanding Brands, but the plug was pulled.
Can you feel yourself being sucked into the drain yet Kate?
Maybe she is working one of the many jobs milo says she has. Guess she job hops too. Maybe the sheeple have never worked and don't understand that when you are self employed often all you do is job hop. I think most self employed would take great offense to be called unstable for that. Kate included.

Rhymes with Witch -- I know what horsehair plaster is! Also know what sand plaster is! Kate will never know.
Maybe Kate is just wrapping herself in a blanket, soaked from trying to walk around NY in the rain, "look at me, I'm here, still here" and then she is back to her hotel room waiting to hear from her Media PR team as they try like HELL to get her on any TV interview show.
NADA, all doors closed now, never to open again, no everyone is reading the re copied copy of Robert Graham's book.
Trial to hopefully follow!
Jon and Ellen were broken up by Valentine's day. Yes, he did send her flowers but she was already with a new guy.
Rainbow, she has the boobs covered. Sheesh! Look at the photos inside...you can see her in that same top. The boobs are bigger than what she had in the past...definitely the cup size is bigger. Not all tops show a lot of cleavage. Why argue? The woman had a boob job. Period.
I'm not arguing! SHEESH! I know she had a boob job, period or no period. I looked at the photo and I thought it just looked strange that there was no cleavage, nor did they look like they were pushed off to the side.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It will never happen again. I am not a sheeple. I know a boob job when I see it, and she most certainly had one.
I wonder if she was upset that she paid that much money for new boobs and they were nowhere to be found on the cover of the magazine!
Well, People 'did' lose Kate's belly button.......
###
I wonder if the first words out of her mouth when she saw that were..."Can we sue?"

Auntie Ann, so sorry to hear about the toddler in your neighborhood that died. How sad and my prayers to their family.
I have used the 3M hooks for quite a few years and they are not something a young child can get off, if at all. The hook part slides on and "clicks" in. To remove them, you lift the hook part off, then have to pull down on the tape to detach the back part from the wall.
I would think a small child would attempt to pull/yank on the hook to get it from the wall, and that wouldn't do it, unless the back part wasn't put on securely. However, if the back part isn't put on securely, the hook wouldn't hold anything and it would probably fall.
When used properly, these are very good hooks to use that hold different weights, depending on the size you buy, and they do not leave any marks on the wall or and wood surfaces. I use them for all of my holiday decorations throughout the year.
@113..."Oh, yes, she does" alert!

Who is Robert Graham?
"This is bhappylovelaugh, the sheeple with the major heart problem who keeps putting off surgery ."

Is she still around? I thought her blood pressure was something like 300/200, her kidneys failed and she blew a major hole in her heart. She's still able to tweet and come up with all of those names? Miracles do happen!

I agree. I use them, too, and can't imagine a toddler could pull them off the wall. Moreover, why would you hang something low enough that a child could reach it? They are used for pictures, decorations, etc., not something that would be within a child's reach. Hearing about a child dying is sad. Did he/she take it off the wall, or was it lying around on a counter somewhere that he could get it?
Unfortunately kids can swallow lots of odd things. In the children's hospital I worked in, there was a wall display of retrieved objetcs/ Little cars, coins, safety pins, keys, army men toys, doll parts, nail scissors- amazing. And choking is such a hazard- a toddler in my area choked to death right in front of us on a tidbit of meat handed to her by the deli man despite EMS efforts.
I was super-conscious of this- did Kate ever cut up those 3 grapes? She served some choking hazards for sure.

All that and more! It's a true miracle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Regular Angie, are you around? There is an angie posting that does not sound like our regular angie.
I read the Huffington Post article about Kate's earnings on the show and did the calculations. Just from the show alone, they earned over 2 million dollars for those few years. PLUS tyhe money from speaking engagements, love offerings, DWTS, promotional events, etc.
My hubs and I would have to work 30 years to make 2 million dollars. PLUS we had to pay for our own furniture, clothes, vacations, appliances, food, toilet paper, etc., ourselves. Not to mention we do our own household repairs, painting, gardening, lawn mowing, etc.
This worthless woman had it made, but she got greedy and didn't appreciate the FREE THINGS SHE RECEIVED THAT SHE DIDN'T EARN!! She said she will do anything to support her kids. THEN DO IT KATE!! Go back to nursing, get that job at McDonalds that you said you would get on a talk show. DO SOMETHING!! Stop waiting for a TV show to fall into your lap because it's not happening for YOU!
Okay, done venting.
Gabby2, loved your post!
Rainbow, didn't mean to get testy. Thought you were a sheeple. Sorry. I am sure People dressed her for that photo shoot, therefore the tasteful outfit. You are right, she flaunts them but I don't think she had control for the cover photo. And of course, there is always People's love of photoshopping. I am sure she was disappointed she could not let the girls be free.
I went up to Dollar Tree this afternoon for some disposable foil pans and saw tons of happy halloween dress up items for a dollar. You could do a whole classroom of little kids for $50. Bought my little great-niece a tutu skirt, fairy wings, glitter make up that came with clip on earrings and a tiara, all for $3. They had cheerleader costumes, pirate, a bunch of other stuff. Hopefully the G kids will have with their daddy getting creative and get to run and play in his neighborhood and be spooky for halloween.
What did Kate say on one of the shows? Something to the affect that her kids' had very good college funds? Well, then they have the opportunity for more of a future than most parents can provide in this economy.
Yes, we had a fund for our daughter, but it didn't cover it all. We paid extra as she went to college, she received some scholarships because of her grades, and then she took out some college loans as well. When she graduated, her present from us was enough money to pay off half of the college loans. We could have given her more up front, but for one, we didn't have it at the time, and for two, we wanted her to understand how important it is to work for something you want instead of having it handed to you. I don't mean to offend anyone with my second point. It's just that we had 2 friends and they both had the same issue: they took out loans to pay for the college and the kids dropped out and the parents were stuck with the bill. We decided that we would help her with books and part of the tuition and she would take a loan for the rest. That way we thought she would take it more seriously. When she graduated, we covered half of her loans.
Okay, I'm sorry for rambling, but my initial point was if the kids have good college funds, then why is she continuously complaining about money? A nursing job, while they're in school, should cover household expenses if she lives within her means. Basically, she's complaining about money because she wants to live like a celebrity and she doesn't want to work.
If the Gosselin kids have to take out some college loans (now I know I'm opening up myself to criticism now!), that's no different than what many college students have to do. YES, I realize the kids earned the money and it should be theirs, not Kate's, but that's not how it turned out. The sad thing is they are not learning how to work for what you want from their mother. She is teaching to expect everything to be handed to them.
I know I didn't word this post the right way, so please excuse me if it offends anyone.

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?
------------
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'?
-----------------
He didn't say she was a "good mom". He said she was a GREAT mom"
To add one more thing to my post #133; kids become adults and they have to learn/get help to overcome a poor childhood. Adults cannot use that as an excuse for their poor decisions.
Exactly, Kate is way ahead of the game with her college funds. Especially in this economy I'm guessing there are going to be a ton of parents who had all the intentions in the world of starting a college find but really couldn't.
Just read that Sarah Palin is writing a fitness book and that she runs 7 to 10 miles a day. Take that, Kate! Sarah beat you to the publishers.
Kate's on Acess Hollywood now.
Misquoted? Seriously? I don't believe that for a millisecond. He said:
He also accepts his share of responsibility for the divorce. "I was passive-aggressive," he says. "Then I'd get mad, but I was the one who wasn't communicating."
Now, he says, times have changed.
"I'll call [Kate] up and say, 'Mady's sick. What do I do?' And she'll tell me," he says. "She's a great Mom. We just have different parenting styles."
Jon said the woman whom has brutally, viciously physically and emotionally abused his 8 children for their entire lives is a GREAT MOM. Just makes me sick thinking about it. I can't even imagine how any of the kids would feel reading that.
The only thing that makes me even sicker, and angrier, is that he not only ignored the abuse, he also participated and made money off his children's pain.

upthread this was discussed, it got a little testy (lol), but that is NOT what he said. He said, "She's a mom."

Tamara, honey....calm down and pull those claws in.
LoveMyGrandsons - I'm not sure what kind of picture hook it was...from what I understand it was caught in his throat and they couldn't get it out.
We all know too well that babies and toddlers will put anything in their mouth. It's a very scary part of parenting.
Another local tragedy last week. A 9-year-old boy was flipped off the all terrain vehicle he was a passenger on and was killed. He wasn't wearing a helmet. He was riding with his mom's boyfriend...the dad is suing. Awful stuff going on here.

Tamara. You weren't there, and neither was I. You have no idea if he ignored it, if he reported it (and to whom) and what was done about it or if he tried to help her deal with her anger. So much goes on behind the scenes, and it's so easy to criticize...but not everything may be as it seems.

By special request!!!!!!
A clerk at a local department store had an amusing experience with ‘Kate the celebrity’ as she put it to me in 2009. She was working the makeup counter and Kate was there for almost an hour testing products and asking for free samples of everything. Then, when the clerk totaled up her bill, Kate demanded to see the store manager to ask why she was being charged so much. When the manager told Kate that that’s what the items cost, Kate laughed and told them that she was Kate Gosselin and she’s on television and she’s not used to paying for things. Kate stormed off telling them that she would never shop there again. This was a store that, years before donated thousands of dollars worth of clothing and furniture to Kate, when she may have actually needed it for her kids.

I'm going to jump out on a limb and say the store she was being unruly in was Boscov's, as I do believe Boscov's was one of the establishments who felt led to grant some of Jon & Kate's "prayers" on the grift list. I'm so glad that manager stood up to her :)

Angie, the person doing this is known on the "other" blog as the "oh, yes, she does" person. She's made her way here before and has popped up again within the last few weeks.
Kate's PR team most likely told her to stay off twitter. Don't give info out then TV interviews will come to "get caught up". Either that or Kids are with their Dad and Kate doesn't want to admit anything about Kids or dog.
Tamara, no one is saying Kate beats the crap out of these kids currently. Robert was talking about in the past, mostly when they were babies. Did it occur to you maybe Jon was trying to be encouraging of her improvement, not upset her? Frankly, if she has stopped being physically abusive, I would encourage her too. They are his babies too and whatever he needs to do to encourage a safe environment for them and a calm mother, he should, given that she's probably not going to lose custody of them. Also I don't see how "she's a mom" doesn't fit in that quote too. I.e. she is being a mom--with everything that entails. Either one fits the context.
I don't see what good it does to give an interview talking about what a bad mom she is. Kate's given her share of those about Jon, and they do no good for anyone but her enablers.
Holy Flip! What am I missing? Two Angies? The Angie that stayed up with me on Friday night was an absolute sweetheart? Is there another Angie impersonating that kind woman?
Me of your lyin' eyes - it could be she is lying, we don't know. But the fact is that now that she has publicly, on TV, stated that all the kids have good college funds, she can no longer complain about that. Or use it as an excuse as to why she needs more money.
The might feel that hey, my dad isn't throwing my mom under the bus and he's not poisoning our minds against her.
The same can't be said of Kate.
&&&&
Yes. We have no idea what Jon has said to the kids about Kate. That's between them and their therapist. They seem to trust him and respect him. For all we know they have talked at length about Kate and her abuse.
They may actually feel a lot of peace to know that Jon is not angry or resentful and gets along with their mother. In fact, a therapist may have even recommended that Jon praise Kate when she does things that are not abusive and to do his best to get along with her. There is more than one way the professionals recommend to approach this situation. Just because he is being respectful of her right now doesn't mean he supports anything she did to his kids in the past. It simply means he is respecting his children's mother, likely for their sake.
If kids can't have their parents back together, they next best thing is that they at least get along.
Gin sorry, the twitter app isnt working.
Bordie Collie says that Twitter may release their own app for displaying tweets. I guess we'll have to be patient. Unless someone else can find a hack to do it.
Lovemygrandsons & all:
I mentioned last night that someone was posting the full names & contact info for Kate's most avid (rabid?) fans. A cautionary tale, I said, that should serve as a reminder that we shouldn't trust anyone online with our most personal information. There are shape-shifters on both sides, bound and determined to "win" whatever war it is that they're waging. (My comment is somewhere in the vicinity of 130 on the previous page.
Anyway, here's Angie's reply to that comment:
Angie said... 132
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.
Kate hasn't been on twitter for two days that's a record.
Well, I'm glad I didn't switch to "blue" and stayed "black". I've given no truly personal info except for states, so I think I'm okay. Thanks for the info, Anonymous.
Administrator, I post no where else. Never have. Have lurked in a lot of places reading, but have not written except here.
Have been here for a while, not a year or so as I read more about Kate & Jon, viewed youtube segments and feel like I have an understanding of the 2 of them. Do not know them. Believe Jon is trying hard to just be a father.
Kate? Horrendous woman who hides so much but it has to come out. I discovered Kate on DWTS and K+8 but first in the beauty salon in magazines and listening to the gals talk about J & K. Interest is now deep.
Have not much more to say to you nice gals. I had problems with identity 4 weeks ago, you all know that. I did the tally for the stretch limo ride. Nothing else I wish to say about ME. Think you know some personal things but not repeating them Admin., which I did at age 50.
I think this is a good, solid blog. I skip around to several, but rarely, never write. One person I read early on until she wore a wig to a Corn Husk Autumn maze I think got bizarre.
Oh I don't know about any of this, but I leave and someone will still use my name and I stay and someone will use my name.
I'm not aware of a single credible report of going blue to post on blogger as a way to steal identity. Using the gmail account elsewhere I don't know, and make sure you click on your name to see that you haven't unknowingly put any personal info on your profile you don't want out there (you need not put anything) but I believe posting on a blog is secure.
I believe this may be an effort to try to get people to go back to black so they are easier to impersonate....
Real Angie, my compassionate friend from Friday night, I hope you don't leave. I enjoy your posts and your "company". Take care, Sweetie.
Is there another Angie impersonating that kind woman?
-----------------------
It appears so. See post 113.

admin, there was someone on here when everyone was going blue who said that she could post in blue under any poster's ID. Someone challenged her to do so, and she did.
Admin, I do agree with you about the blue or black. However, as I said previously, if someone with my name starts posting nasty, insulting things, I trust all of you will know it's not really me. If that happens, I will become "blue".
Blowing I understand that's possible, but it takes a lot more effort. I.e. going into google and changing it, then coming back to post.
Drivebys like a quick driveby, they like to just type in a name. Having to actually have a google account and change the name takes too much effort for most shit stirrers. Hence why blue is a good idea.
Love My Grandsons, I am one person and that is another person. Yes, we held hands, hugged, Dwindle made tea, I had candy bars and Njay wanted candy. It was nice for a while, just feeling comfortable, but this is an open forum and I guess we had a moment that you needed, we also related and it happened. It is nice to be here but I can't stay if I have to feel questioned. I did not post for almost 4 weeks. When I came back I told everyone about not being able to type a message but was reading and saw my name. Furious but I did contact the right people. That is all I can say. Crazy is as crazy does.
Someone did post as me almost 4 weeks ago and more in BLUE. That scared me. Everything okay now. I should not be the subject of this Blog.
The Mommie of the year was interviewed for a few moments tonight on some show AND HERE IS WHAT I FOUND:
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- It’s been three years since Jon and Kate Gosselin split, so is the mom of eight dating again?
In a new interview with Access Hollywood’s Michelle Beadle, the reality star-turned-author says she’s still flying solo.
“I haven’t [dated],” Kate told Michelle with a laugh, when asked if she’s dipped her toes back into the dating pool. “It’s a hard spot to be in. [Eight children] is a lot to expect from anyone. My kids are great, there’s a lot of them, and that’s only one factor of a million.
“So, I mean, whatever happens.[If] somebody is brave enough to stick around for some period of time it’s probably meant to be,” she added.
Kate, a blogger for CouponCabin.com (which sponsored her New York City Rock and Roll 10K run to raise money for cancer research on Saturday), began jogging as a means of relieving stress, and while her stress level hasn’t changed, she’s learned to change her “reaction” to stress.
“I wouldn’t change anything because I have learned so much and I have learned to deal with high amounts of stress at all times and I have learned what’s important,” she told Michelle. “I have learned that, you know, a juice cup spilled on a table is like, really if that is the worst thing I have to deal with today, I’ll take it!”
Adding, “So, really a lot has changed for me and I have grown up. Going through such a public divorce, and feeling like you have to fight for your kids every day and the things that protect them and the things that are important for them has really, really, really made me realize what is important — and it’s them.”
Protecting her children is paramount to Kate, and she takes many steps to keep their little eyes from reading endless Internet stories about the demise of their parent’s relationship.
In fact, Kate said the kids are “not allowed to Google.”
“If they have school projects, I log them into the laptop and I log them out and they’re very respectful because they know that stuff is out there,” she said. “I remember one time Jon, early on, left a tabloid, a magazine laying around and [daughter] Maddie found it and it devastated her. So, they know that there’s ugly stuff out there and I know that someday they’ll Google and read it, but I also know how close we are and how they’ll be ready for the answers and the truth and the whole, real story someday.
“I’m not afraid of it because I know that I’ve made only good choices and I’ll help them deal with it,” she added

Angie, hon, those that truly know your posts will be able to tell the fake ones from the real ones. However, you need to do what you feel comfortable with. I hope you don't leave because you will be missed by many of the regulars. God bless.

Sounds like stage craft for Stevie. Cue the interviews where they come out as a couple.
Angie, just keep in mind that you had friends here who recognized that your personality and the words from new Angie did not match.
Find a way to stay with us.
I may be jaded, but IMO there is only one Angie and she is "Oh yes she does!" When some bloggers here mention it, she cries "identity theft!" (LOL) She straightens up for a little while and then falls right back into the "crazy." I, for one, hate reading her posts so I immediately scroll past. She is a fake! Blowing in the wind, I think you agree, right?
I would never come right out and be so rude to anyone else on this blog, but Angie is not who she claims to be. I mean really? Three friends dying with cancer? She is seeking attention, plain and simple. This is her usual M.O.
If I have offended anyone by this post, I am sorry. At least I am posting using my regular name and am owning it.
I'm with Dmasy and Lovemygrandsons. Stick around, Angie. We've got cupcakes and stretch limos and loyal friends from HERE <----to---->THERE.
I noticed Kate said Steve didn't play with/interact with the kids. Just protected them. If he really is her boyfriend, he has always sounded to me like the type who views the kids as inconveniences and not a rightful part of the family he may become a part of. The fact that he didn't stop Kate when she was going on about her stupid pizza speaks volumes, he should have said no worries Kate I will eat something else. I can't stand men like this. Don't date a woman with kids if you aren't going to be completely devoted to the kids too.
Kate doesn't get 'hits' on twitter.
Also, for safety reasons people need to stay off the fan sites. They have trackers and know even if you are just lurking.
Defenders of abusers have NO ethics.
Me or your lyin eyes, okay, even with all circumstantial evidence about Kate and Steve, there's a part of me that still has to disagree. Maybe the logical part, I don't know. I just can't understand how someone who has seen first hand what an abusive, mean, lying biotch she is would get into a romantic relationship with her. I've always felt that is was for the money and the comped trips. Now, his credibility and reputation as a security person is definitely tarnished, being linked to Kate Gosselin for a few years. He has nothing else going so he has to hold onto this to get money. After all, he can't start over at his age because what would his resume say he did for the last five years? Exactly, how embarassing would that be?
Shocked, if you are correct, then I got taken in during the "straightened" up phases.
You haven't offended me. Your post is just a reminder that none of us really know.
I trust. I like the ladies here. A poster has to get really FAR out before my red flag radar kicks in.
I enjoy the humor and the personal stories. I feel as if I have made internet friends.
I am truly sad that anyone would be malicious enough to try to "mess up" a really good blog.
There are plenty of men who will stick around and support abusers and nasty women. You'd be surprised.
I think when people live a certain upstanding lifestyle and don't associate with people who don't live that way, it's easy to forget that there are a lot of people out there who live a much less righteous lifestyle. I remember when I first became a lawyer being shocked at the sheer volume of people who had such low standards. I knew they were out there but didn't know it was so pervasive.
Kate said...“I’m not afraid of it because I know that I’ve made only good choices and I’ll help them deal with it,” she added
++++++++++++++
Oh, yes. No doubt about it. It's always a good choice to yank a toddler by the hair and whip him into his crib and then ask God to let him obey you better.
Likewise, being a parental alienator ranks high on the list of good choices. Just bash Dad every chance you get, and then figure out how to deal with it when they ask you why you did it.
By the way...I still haven't seen the dog.
Dmasy, I agree with you. Although we don't really "know" each other, it feels like we do. And for the most part, we are not disappointed.
I just re read 113, that sounds like someone who knows Kate. I don't know the witch.
BYW Admin, you just asked if anyone knows someone who can "hack" into Twitter?

________________________________________________
I agree! That's why I posted what I did. Being a faithful reader I feel as if I "know" everyone here too. I just hated seeing her take people in with her "stories."
Admin, I understand what you are saying and agree with you. However, I was of the opinion that since Steve got as far as he did in life, he had some type of ethics. Also, I just can't fathom that anyone would knowingly put themselves into a relationship that they know the other person is a biotch. He's seen first hand how she is and I just can't believe that he is that stupid. Who knows? I could be wrong and maybe he is.

Blowing in the wind, I think you agree, right?
Are you saying that the "Oh, yes she does" Angie is the same Angie that says someone is impersonating her...that there is one Angie? I'm not sure that I agree because the writing style is so very different. I've read the Oh, yes posts on another blog, and that person couldn't write the way the "other Angie" does if her life depended on it. I suppose anything is possible, but I'm not convinced.
Which is the one who has said that she is an attorney?
"Blowing I understand that's possible, but it takes a lot more effort. I.e. going into google and changing it, then coming back to post."
-------------------
I know, but it only took a few minutes. I was really surprised how quickly the person did it. I understand that it may be work, but these sheeple are quite used to stirring the pot and playing games. For them, anything to create a confusion would be amusing to them.

You have to be real! I couldn't take the disappointment if you or Dwindle or AuntieAnn or Pink or JoyInVA (to name a few) turned out to be frauds.
I might as well give up on Tinkerbell and Bambi and Big Bird! (Opps. Did I just let politics slip in here?)
Plenty of nasty people have great careers.
We've seen a few interviews with Steve and a bit of him on screen and I'm not all that impressed with him as a man or person.
Like I said the way he reacted to the pizza, basically just letting Kate be so mean to everyone over HIS pizza, speaks volumes. What good man wouldn't have stepped in immediately and told everyone that Mady could have the slice?
I don't know how anybody else here feels but I think someone has finally convinced Kate to lay off with all the twitter nonsense. It just seems to me that since the book situation her tweets have become less and less. Has anyone else here noticed this or is it just me?
A few minutes is honestly too much effort for a driveby, trust me. The fact that it's only happened a few times, versus impersonating the names in black has happened many many times, speaks to exactly that.
More likely than not Jon has the kids. She's gone off for a couple days or only tweets once or twice a day all summer long, ever since the 50-50 happened. The fact is she uses twitter as an escape from her kids. Without the kids there, there is no need to escape. She's probably got a glass of wine, is immersed in her paperwork/trolling for freebies, and Real Housewives marathon, having the time of her life in her empty McMansion.
I just re read 113, that sounds like someone who knows Kate. I don't know the witch.
------------------------
That person always implies that she knows Kate, what goes on within the house, what Kate is thinking, where she's going, where Steve is living, how many times a day Kate goes to the bathroom, etc. etc. She also has held more jobs than one person is capable of holding in a lifetime, all up and down the East Coast at the same time!
Heck, I don't know what to think anymore. I need a really good stiff drink.

YES! Just last month the gear shifter in my manual shift Saturn was totally loose. Didn't engage at all. Google was my friend. First I found and read on a Saturn forum and eventually found people describing exactly my problem. Some were describing a several hundred dollar fix, with tools and skills I didn't have, using parts pulled from junkyard Saturns. (Saturn company went out of business.) Luckily I kept reading the forum and found a post from someone that described a simple fix using one small part a guy on eBay created and sells. I also found youTube videos and photos showing how to take off the center console to verify if that was my problem. I ordered the part from the guy on eBay for under $30, and only needed vise-grip pliers to install it and a screwdriver to remove and replace the center console. Fixed for under $30. HAPPY DANCE!
I don't know which Angie is which but I like them both. At least they both have Kate's number!
This morning I went to the mall! Love, love William Sonoma! Anyway, as I was leaving Nordstrom's the youngest girl, Kendrie, whatever was going in! Is that why she is doing home schooling ? I didn't know shopping was a high school course! She was with a young woman, maybe assistant! No bodyguards, no paps! And in all fairness to her she did smile at me! She seems like a normal girl, still she should be in school! That mall is frequented by lots of celebrities! I'm not impressed they are just people with a high paying profession!

I noticed Kate said Steve didn't play with/interact with the kids. Just protected them. If he really is her boyfriend, he has always sounded to me like the type who views the kids as inconveniences and not a rightful part of the family he may become a part of. The fact that he didn't stop Kate when she was going on about her stupid pizza speaks volumes, he should have said no worries Kate I will eat something else. I can't stand men like this. Don't date a woman with kids if you aren't going to be completely devoted to the kids too.

This is why I think Steve is, (
(A) Still married and Kate's his mistress and he won't leave Gina.
Which is why she say's-"I'm single"-"I'm still single.
(B) He's divorced and embarrassed he's with Kate.
(C) He using her for money and she knows it and is okay with it.
Zoe that's awesome.
As long as you can read and follow directions there are many things we can do on our own now. It's not exactly a fix it problem but computers and TVs are another great thing to look up on the internet. Many computer and TV problems can be fixed yourself with help from online forums. Instead of running like a damsel in distress to the computer repair shop and forking over 90 bucks just to have them look at it, try to fix it yourself first. I can't imagine how much money people waste on "my computer is running slow" problems. Look it up, the internet will help you with that.
The exception would be I don't think you should try anything electrical based or otherwise dangerous unless you really know what you are doing. It's worth it to call an expert for that.
In terms of self help the internet is a great resource. There is also soooo much educational material out there. I love Kahn Academy in particular. All free.

Way to go! Intrepid fix on the gear shift.
I recently Googled the error code on my dryer and ordered a part for about $30. See ya later appliance repair guy!
Blowing in the wind,
Yes, I am saying there is only one Angie. I can't help it. I'm just suspicious. Her protesting too much about someone else using her name after her last "crazy spell" just sends up the red flags for me. Also, this reply just seemed weak: (When asked if there were 2 Angies)
Angie said... 165
Love My Grandsons, I am one person and that is another person.
And her reply at #178 just didn't sit right with me.
Again, this is my opinion. I don't want to make waves on this blog-so I will drop it. I am just going with my gut :)

It's amazing what you can find on Ebay!! I've purchased do-it-yourself keyless entry remotes (instructions included) for a fraction of what the dealer would charge.
The best deal I got on Ebay was a stepper motor for my suburban gauge that was out (mph gauge said i was going 110 parked in the garage, lol)..dealership wanted almost 1000 to replace all of them (their theory is, one goes out, they are all about to go out), so we buy 6 stepper motors for about 5.00 each. Guy gives up complete instructions, hubby takes the control panel out of the car for the day (which was still drivable, but looked weird!), did some simple sautering, (sp?), and we were back in business.
30 bucks is a *little* bit cheaper than 1000!
There's all kind of car forums, etc. I check car forums for anything that goes wrong with any of our cars.
OMG! Sorry, post 193 is mine! I forgot to choose my name.
Dmasy, that was so sweet of you to say. Thank you, hon.
Admin, I agree with all that you are saying. There is just the logical part of me that says no one can be that stupid. I agree he doesn't care about the kids, but usually people like that care very much about themselves. Therefore, would he get into a relationship with Kate? I guess it's possible, but the logical part of me says no. However, I very well could be proved wrong in the future!
The internet also has really great resources on cleaning. How to's and tips for cleaning various things from car detail to any room in the house, and low-cost cleaning solutions you can make at home with some basics on hand like bleach, borax, vinegar and water. You could save a real fortune.
All these tips are real money saving solutions and specific, things that a good blog post really needs. Things her blog post never really has. She is a content farm writer and frankly if I were managing her career I would forbid her from associating with a content farm. It cheapens the brand.
Things are heating up on Twitter between Milo and the non-fans. She's really on a "I know everything there is to know about Kate because she is my intimate friend, my personal confidante" rant.
It's good entertainment!
I'm not brave enough to tackle much on my car but I DO visit car forums when things go wrong just to get an idea of what it could be and how much it will cost. It helps to go into the repair knowing what you are talking about. As a woman I've found I've been more respected and not likely to get cheated that way. It also helps to seek out one or two people at the shop to build good relationships with so they are remembering you, where I used to live the Shell station manager would patch my tires and fill them all up for only 5 bucks whenever anything went wrong. And in L.A. I get flats a LOT, like every 3 months. There is so much crap on the road. Other places I've gone to charge 20. He did it because I was completely loyal to him always went to him with any repairs.
I googled the Kardashian young lady , her name is Kylie! But she still should be in school! You are only in high school once, and that horrid mother kris Jenner is stealing that experience from her! I hope Kate doesn't do that to her 8 she has already stolen their childhood!
