Comment 117 from FotK ...
Why is no one eating the slop - er, um - organic dip I brought? Honestly. I mean, to be honest. It is NOT mediocre. There's lots and lots and lots of cheese and organic canned black beans in it. And guacamole. It's supposed to be served with those 503 loaves of bread I baked in my 2 Cuisinart breadmakers
Mmm, cheesey and bready.

Off topic but do any Pioneer Woman fans know if she has ever responded to her snark?
I wonder if she stomps her foot and calls it bullying and retweets platitudes all day long building herself up, or if she acts like the mature adult that she is, takes it in stride, uses it to keep her grounded, and gets a good laugh out of it now and again.
******************
I used to follow Pioneer Woman in her earlier blogging years but became a bit disillusioned awhile back and don't follow much anymore. She's never addressed any "snark" except indirectly a few times. Negative comments on her blog aren't posted and generally any blog entries that she has made which have invited criticism are often removed, edited, or credit suddenly given (ex: when it's pointed out somewhere that a recipe or idea was taken from someone or somewhere else). It is her blog, though, and she makes the rules with her staff. I suspect that she got into a bit of a huff and a little defensive early on when these things were pointed out to her - sometimes she became a little defiant in her entries without being specific, but as a regular follower you knew what she was talking about - but as she became more well-known the PR people have stepped in and it appears to be handled quickly on that end.
That being said, I enjoyed her clear writing talent and style and her love for her family is very obvious. She also has a self-deprecating and humorous way of looking at herself and some of her faults which resonates with many women... something Kate has never been able to portray ever, which of course is partly why people can't stand her.
OT-
About the NYC marathon runners- They are in Stanten Island right now cleaning up after Sandy. Runner's World Magazine is posting the story and pics on FB.
It's really nice, hundreds of them, out there volunteering.
Maybe this will work- it's a pic of the runners-

This is Liz's full tweet, which you can see if you scroll over the picture of Jon. It was tweeted on Saturday, Oct. 25.
"We've got this rare still and silent night together. No footsteps nor electric. Hot Tea and candles and a new plan for tomorrow.
No better way to end the night then w a seriously competitive game of Mall Maddness."
That's all she said, and she doesn't even say where they were. They could have been at her house for all we know.
This is the link to the picture of Jon
http://instagram.com/p/ROtfirsepZ/
I had a few minutes this morning and I browsed through a few z-list (lesser known than Kate) east coast based, reality celeb's twitter accounts to see how they were doing. Every single one of their accounts is FULL of hurricane relief links, info, and referrals and it slams home once again how Kate has WASTED another great opportunity to help so many people in need of so much.
While she sits on her leather couch, being bitter & vindictive about her ex, eating her bowl of ice cream and tweeting disgusting slams about the father of her children, people are still without the basics, freezing, in the dark, and with no food.
It would take her mere seconds to tweet about hurricane relief. She has her iPhone in her hand 24/7 anyway. She has over 120,000 followers she could be reaching and helping make a difference, yet she thinks retweeting about the Red Cross only twice is enough. There is no hope for this woman. I don't know why I waste any time being frustrated by her; I know she'll never change. She's not worthy of me wasting an ounce of energy hoping she'll ever do something charitable.

------------------
Why wouldn't she tweet and keep tweeting to these 120,000 followers that if they would each give five dollars, the amount for relief would be substantial? She should encourage this. Let's see how much is raised. If the followers are so devoted to her, they'd donate. However, if they are mostly bought followers, she'd have egg on her face. Could it be that she knows these are all fake, that there are only six die-hards left, and therefore it really isn't worth her time and effort to ask them to give to relief efforts?
She can't promote anything because she lives in her own little world. Those in NY and NJ don't need her platitudes..."GM everyone! Remember to focus on the GOOD things in your life today in order to help you get through the 'not so good' things..it helps!;)"
Focusing in GOOD things isn't going to help the victims. Come on, Kate, get off your duff and tell your sheeple to donate whatever they can.

Hug your children just a little tighter and really stop to appreciate your time with them. I hesitated about posting this, its personal, but decided to share.
A friend of dd was killed in a car accident last week and she came home from college for funeral. The minister asked some of the girls friends to come and usher at the service, and dd thought it was an honor. The girl who died was still in high school, and it was a car accident, the other driver was at fault. So this tragedy and the deaths from Hurricane Sandy have me thinking about mortality, and how the universe seems so random, and why one person dies and another in a similar situation might live. And I hug my dda little closer andtell her how much I love her and how proud I am of her.
Dd was coming home yesterday anyway to do her absentee voting, her first time to vote! She had me take a photo when she was putting the ballot in the box, she was so happy and proud!
************************************************
JoyinVirginia, I'm so sorry about your daughter's young friend. A very sad & tragic loss for her family & friends.
Absolutely horrible.
A few random thoughts here. Didn't KK admit once that Jon never wanted to do the show? It was either in an interview or one of her books. Sorry, I don't have time to look it up, but I'm sure one of the smart, resourceful ladies here will be able to find it if I'm not imagining that statement.
The worst dogbite I ever saw was from a chihuahua. A neighbor's child sat down on the couch at her Aunt's house. The Aunt's chihuahua jumped up on the couch and attacked her. She had 125 stitches in her face. Fortunately, no permanent damage and minimal scarring.
If anyone is looking for a good cozy mystery to read, I just finished one I can highly recommend. It's "Foul Play At the Fair" by Shelley Freydont. It's the first book of a new series. I'm also psyched because one of my very favorite authors, Marcia Muller, has a new book coming out on 11/6. If you like long series with interesting characters and lots of substance, her Sharon McCone books are wonderful. She's in somewhat the same category as Sue Grafton, but, IMO, far better. Kinsey Milhone is sort of a one-note character, where McCone has grown and evolved over the course of the series.

I agree rainbows.
It's so simple and takes so little time or energy and could make such a difference, yet she does nothing. I don't get it; is she too self-centered or stupid or lazy? I'm baffled at the many opportunities she's had to GIVE of herself (it would take so little of her and could make such a difference - yet, nada).
Nearly 70,000 Berks County utility customers were out of power Tuesday morning as the storm pulled away. As of late Saturday there were about 1,500 Met-Ed customers still awaiting restoration of service. A statement on the utility's website indicated that everyone affected by the storm in Berks should have power back early this week.
*******************************
Several people from my church are still without power. From what I understand, Met Ed fixed the biggest clusters without power first. The folks I spoke to this morning are out in the "boonies".
Our power came back on after about 15 hours. Others were not quite so lucky.
readerlady said... 11 Didn't KK admit once that Jon never wanted to do the show?
*****
I remember hearing her say (verbally) in a televised interview sometime during the last year or so, "Jon always wanted to quit". Don't recall who was interviewing her - was before Katie Couric for sure.
I don't think that Kate knows how really devastating the storm was. She's lives in Kate's World, and that doesn't include anything or anyone else. Someone should send her links to the slideshows of before and after photos published on various internet sites. The magnitude of the damage is incredible. You just can't imagine how areas can be wiped off the map...just like that. These are real people, real lives, real tragedies.
Would she care? Who knows...but at least her eyes would be open. I honestly think she doesn't really know.
Readerlady -adding Janet Evanovich, Sara Paretsky,and one male:John Lescroart. Evanovich is brilliantly laugh-out-loud funny, Paretsky 's plots are amazing and V.I.Warshawski very likable, and Lescroart's Dismas Hardy is real, even though he's fictional. Enjoy!
OT Warning OT Warning OT Warning!
I have a question for those of us who are of mature age :) I have been diagnosed with moderate arthritis of my knee. I would like to ask my co-posters if any of you have had any success with conservative treatments for knee arthritis? TIA!!
Pioneer woman's twitter is full of calls to donate even picking her two favorite charities. And she lives in Oklahoma where they really weren't affected.
The thing is even if its not sincere, even if you don't give a rip, at least do it for your imagine. Let's face it a lot of celebs are pretty self centered, that's how they got to be celebs, but they have enough sense to care about their image and what's appropriate in a crisis.
Readerlady, thank you. Getting ready for a trip and want to load up the Kindle for travel reading. I always enjoy your recommendations.
I thought Kate was all about supporting the Red Cross.
Oh. Only if she's paid to pose under a blanket, implying nudity? Only if she's treated to first class transportation to and from, first class hotel,and a free dinner? And opportunities to be photographed with rich people? Another opportunity to be given a free new designer dress, and get her hair/make-up done again?
Then she's interested in supporting the Red Cross.
Otherwise, not so much.
Can you see Kate getting down and dirty, helping some poor soul clean up the rubble of their home?
I can't even see her giving blood.
Are the doofuses (doofi?) sheeple running a platitude contest on twitter? They can't come up with anything intelligent to say, so they scope the internet for inspirationals...just like Kate does? Monkey see, monkey do?
Berks resident -- I have a combination of inflammatory and degenerative arthritis in my knee. So far, I've been able to manage it with heat packs, anti-inflammatories and Tylenol. One of the most important things to remember is to keep it mobile. Change positions frequently and don't over-use it. If it hurts, stop doing whatever. Walking is good. Running is bad. Stairs are questionable.
I meant to say earlier -- The only people Jon needs to be accountable to are his children. The rest of us don't count.
IDModo -- I don't care much for Paretsky. Love Evanovich. Haven't read much Lescroart but what I've read I've liked. What did you think of the movie based on "One For the Money"?
Kate is a Twit,
This is a fact...Jon had his power disconnected due to non payment.
Krazy knows that only 3-4 of the "120,000" are "fans", so it would be obvious no one would give to any charity. Example: CC and cancer charity.
Maybe Milo would be interested in giving up dinner for a month....
When I was 13 I would cut out quotes that really spoke to me and pasted them in a notebook. When I was 13.
Wow, it sure is a coincidence that right at the time of the big hurricane when many of the people in Jon's area are or have been out of power, that Jon's power got cut off.
Same here admin...I would cut out and paste on posterboard and made a "collage" with these quotes and some pictures that I cut out from magazines. No internet back then. Then I started high school....
Just Me I guess Jon has shared his bills with you? Gimme a break. Even if true why is that Kate's right to talk about it with 100,000 followers? That is the point. The sheeple would be outraged if Jon started diaussing her bills and you know it. No one has a right to reveal someone else's electric bill.
Okay I really could just scream! I am so sick of these people showing up here and claiming things are fact. Of course only bad things involving Jon are fact. The FACT that Kate is a child and animal abuser and a parent alientor doesn't seem to matter to these people. The fact that Kate even made the whole power or no power at Jon's a public issue is just disgusting. She needs to keep her mouth closed about his business. she is hurting her children. What happens when they go to school and kids have heard about that? Especially when they find out it was their mother spreading the story. She and her sheeple are constantly trying to deflect anything that might tarnish her image and throw everything on Jon. I don't know how he ever stayed sane with an evil wife like that.
You all get this latest sheeple nonsense don't you? There is at least one sheeple that supports CPS visits to Sandy victims without electricity. So, in their crazy minds, Jon "had his electricity cutoff", so therefore he is not a fit parent. Sad thing, Kate went along with this.
Carazee and they miss the point. The point is not who paid what bill or who is or isn't a deadbeat. The point is Kate parental alienates Jon in a vile and dispicable manner. Who paid or didn't pay what bill is completely utterly irrelevant. But they don't get it.
Suffer The Children said... 171
In fact, why should he live his life just to please the public, an obligation that has long been gone? I doubt that he is concerned that some think he's a deadbeat exploiter. He's not living his life for the approval of unknowns. It appears that he loves his kids and they love him. His relationship with them is what's important, not whether people on the internet approve of his actions, or his girlfriend, or his job, or his home, or his choice of clothing, or...
****************
Oh, I agree. However, the same rule applies to Kate Gosselin, so how about the fine folks here stop nitpicking every little thing about her? She doesn't need the approval of the regulars here, 99.9% of whom are complete strangers to her, and yet that sure as hell doesn't stop anyone.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And where is your link? Proof? Source that is NOT Kate Gosselin? Copy of termination letter from electric company? Kate lies so much she even lied about baking bread for her garbage men and Shoka eating it. Kate is not a credible source.
The fans used to be quite big on saying "until it comes straight from Kate, it is considered gossip or a lie." So... until Jon says it himself that his power outage is a billing issue or a copy of a termination letter is posted, his power is off due to hurricane Sandy. Period. End of story. Go away. Adios. Shoo. Be gone. Sayanara. Buh Bye.
Yes, sheeple, the point is that Kate did not need to share Jon's business with the general public. No one's business why his power was shut off or even to know that his power was shut off. I would be willing to bet Just Me that the jack-o-lanterns on your porch have more teeth than you do so I wouldn't be casting stones on anyone if I were you. You, who supports a child abuser and animal abuser.

Hi ladies!
I've been a bit afraid to bring up anything personal but I'm at the end of my mental rope. So damn depressed and just can't shake it. Not going anywhere, not seeing anybody ( except my wonderful hubby and my boys still living at home ). So many issues, so many prescribed meds, so many doctors...not so much helping.
Anyways, the real reason I'm bringing it up here is cuz I like you guys, you are all so smart, so caring and so so funny! Seriously, it's sometimes the only place that makes me giggle. Thanks for that.
I stepped on the scale yesterday and near had a heart attack!! Gained almost 7 pounds in ONE week! I know a lot of my total weight gain ( 30+lbs now +7 more!) in just over 3 years is due to meds and my 'condition'
Continued...sorry, guess I can't go back and add to a post or it will freeze on me...
I know I was 128lbs when my oldest son got married in June, 2009 and now I'm up to 156!!!!
I'm wondering if anybody here wants to start, on a separate thread or something...if admin allows...a sort of diet support group? What helps, what doesn't, healthy recipes, weekly progress...that kind of thing? If not, does anybody know of a good online group that does this kind of thing?
Maybe some of you might want to 'drop a dress size' by the time Christmas and New Years parties start up? Winter beach vacation to feel great in a bathing suit?
Sorry if this is wildy inappropriate ...I just really needed somewhere to vent about all of this and, even though I rarely post, you guys are 'my girls' on my blog ( that's how I describe it to my hubby!)
I don't know how to email people from the blog or I would have sent one to Admin before posting this.
Thanks for taking the time to read. Let me know if anybody is interested or has other info for me. I'm beyond desperate lately.
LBelle I am so sorry to here you are not well. My brother has Lupus and I know his meds make him gain weight too. It can be very depressing. Isn't it wonderful to be able to come here and forget your problems and laugh at some of the funny things these ladies and gents have to say?
Admin yes you are so right they just don't get it. Such damage that can be done to these poor children because of a parental alienator.
I've always felt one thing that should be strictly off limits is judging anyone who is struggling financially. Sure I'd like to think ill never have problems with bills but you never know maybe it will be me someday and I can't imagine how it would feel to have some ex of mine talkin about my bills. That's awful. Kate that could be you someday what with the way she spends money.
Lbelle - depression is a terrible affliction - dh and I both suffer - but he found a great quote this summer - you know how folks say to you 'just pull up your socks' and have no understanding of your pain. Well he found the quote that 'depression is not a sock disorder!'
Now when we are heading down I just yell out SOCKS and we both start giggling - not an answer but gives a bit of a smile
No platitudes - just best wishes & hugs

Source? Proof?
What if I said "This is a fact...Kate and Steve are screwing each other"?
This can be played both ways, no?
LaBelle #35 I have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder among other things which brought on the depression to begin with. The only thing that helped me for a little while was Wellbutrin. I started on the smallest dose and when it was upped it got worse so stopped completely.
I wish I had some magical cure to pass on to you but I don't. I know how you feel and if it's ever happened to you don't you just love it when people say just snap out of it? If that were possible would have done it long ago!
I'm working on my own reward program just to get myself out of bed. One example, I don't allow myself to read here unless I get one task done, even if it's a small one. It's not much but at least I can say I accomplished something in the day and that does help a little bit.

Just me--Are you Milo? She likes to state things are "facts". In fact today she tweeted:
Fired Up 4 Kate@MiloandJack
@xxxx...ur the victim of foolish internet gossip. Not true. I know it for a fact! :) Shoka is fine!
Berk's resident - arthritis in one knee has progressed to bone on bone and I get an annual dose (3 injections) of synvisc (artificial
synovial fluid). Prior to this, I was getting cortisone injections, first about once per year, that progressed to every 6 months over
time. They helped immensely.
That said, readerlady 22 gave very good advice.
Readerlady, thanks for the head up on the Marcia Muller book. Woohoo! Love how Sharon has evolved and agree about Kinsey.
This is a fact . . . Kate is a lying bitch.
Lbelle - check my profile - feel free to email....
Guys! You took Kate's bait about Jon's electricity issue! Yes, it was a mean thing to do AND not telling the truth behind that, shame on you, Kate. But we didn't need to know tbe children's wheatherabouts & what's going on with Jon. Since Jon is not here to defend him....Tweet was in reply to someone whose account is protected.. I wonder what was tweeted to her but that started the conv if u recall. I would say that's the only reason she saId that on twitter, right? Throw a bone & see if anyone bites, eh? I suggest moving on cause we're doing exactly what she wanted us to do!
LBelle, I am sorry. Stay with us and we will do our best to distract you.
I hope today is good for you.
IDMode and readerlady, I too am a big Janet Evanovich fan. I think the Stephanie Plum series is hilarious.
This is a fact . . . Kate is a child abuser.
Kate is a Twit, there are also a couple of other uber fans who love to throw out the "FACT" word in their tweets. Could be any of them!
This is a fact . . . Kate is an animal abuser.
Even Kate didn't say a bill wasn't paid although she implied some issue. The implication was vile but she never said the issue was the bill, the sheeple just made that up. And as far as no judge allowing kids to stay without power um that is a moot point since Kate specifically said Jon had them at a friend's, a perfectly appropriate plan in the aftermath of a hurricane without power. No sheep they do not take people's kids away in a hurricane as long as you keep them safe. Good god. I have a suggestion, why not let Kate work out her own matters.
And as far as Liz tweeting about no electric the difference is it's her right to tweet about her electric, not Kate's.
LBelle said... 35
I'm so sorry for you, I also suffer from depressions and what helped me the most was getting a dog. Lola ( she's a spanish spaniel mix I adopted) makes me smile every day, she forces me to come out of bed every morning to go to the park. She gives me a lot of love and structure. Hope you will find someone or something that makes you feel better! ( also walking the dog had make lose some weight)
They can't come up with anything intelligent to say, so they scope the internet for inspirationals...just like Kate does? Monkey see, monkey do?
====================
When I watched the NBC special, saw the photos of those who were left homeless, and towns destroyed because of this storm, I had to think of the ignorant sheeple who tweeted something like..."trust me. This is just a bunch of hype." These are the people who are enabling Kate. These are the people in her fan base, if you can call it that. Scary.
LBelle, hon, I too have depression and take daily medication for it. I know how it can be when you have a bad day. I have no answers to help you, Sweetie, but I wish I did. However, I see you and I do the same thing that helps - come to this website to talk, share, and get a good laugh! Take care, hon.
Carezee....thanks for your kind words. : )
Sorry to hear about your brother and the trouble he is dealing with. It's so insane to me that modern medicine can do so much but they seems to have a very hard time coming up with meds that don't make you pile on weight! Like you said, it IS depressing and sometimes I wonder if it's worth taking the stupid things they tell me to take. Extra weight also adds to all over body pain. Kind of felling like damned if I do, damned if I don't.

Yeah Kate would like that wouldn't she. She'd like people to stop analyzing her every movement so she could go back to scamming and grifting without having us to worry about.
Not gonna happen.
Another thing--the enablers always say that by "bashing" Kate, we are hurting the children. But yet, they are bashing Jon left and right.
So, enablers, explain to me how bashing Kate hurts the chidren, but bashing Jon does not?
This is a fact - Sheeple are stupid. And they enable a mean vicious woman.
LBelle, my extended family has weight issues and I've struggled with it my whole life. However I was able to keep it in check until menopause and the depression. I know the medication can cause weight gain, but my opinion is also helps you feel better so stay on it. I know if I stopped with my medication I would have real struggles, and that wouldn't be good for me, my hubs, my family, and especially my precious boys. Hugs to you, Sweetie.

You think quite highly of yourself, don't you? I doubt that Kate is worrying about you. Your power over her is all in your head.
It is a double standard, despite your attempt to deflect from that fact. At least own your hypocrisy.
Maybe she means she only spent $30 touching up her manicure after handling all that duct tape messed it up. What a deal!
Confession: I miss her CC blogs. They were great snark.
Kate puts herself out there. Not a double standard.
She can continue to tweet all she wants thinking she is so smart. She is actually driving away any chance of having a man in her life again. What guy would want to be involved with her after reading her twitter?
Double Standard, there is no hypocrisy. We discuss and have opinions about the things that KATE PUTS OUT THERE PUBLICLY. If she doesn't want criticism, then she needs to stop making her life, and her childrens lives so public. No one would know anything if it wasn't for her show, her magazine aricles, her TV appearances, her ridiculous twitter feed. It's that simple.
"I remember hearing her say (verbally) in a televised interview sometime during the last year or so, "Jon always wanted to quit"." 14
She said it in the finale of Kate plus 8. Listen at 13:25.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
One of the most vile sheeple actually tweeted Liz and said that a call to CPS would be in order, considering the no power situation. How vicious must a person be to do this? What makes a person be this nasty to another person? There are actions that people take that often shock the he## out of me, but threats like this don't come from anyone who has any ounce of dignity within themselves or compassion for others.
I think that Kate and the kids are secondary in this war between the fans and non-fans. It's now a matter of doing battle with the opposition...for what reason, I don't know. Nobody is ever going to win.
Milo tweeted -
@xxxx...ur the victim of foolish internet gossip. Not true. I know it for a fact! :) Shoka is fine!
Word games. Even if she does know, she doesn't say he's still at Kate's. He could be fine with another family.
Anonymous...64, there are plenty of guys out there who would love to latch onto Kate's money. However, the eight kids thing might not be so interesting to them.

And as far as Liz tweeting about no electric the difference is it's her right to tweet about her electric, not Kate's.
///////////////////////////
If you believe that I would assume this is also true:
It is Kate's right to tweet pics of her kids not Liz's.
You don't want to admit that Jon is the one without the electric..so be it.
Just me, you are right. It IS Kate's right to tweet pics of her kids. But she's still an a**hole for doing it.
Kate certainly has a right to tweet pics of her kids and the public has a right to say that it's exploitation.
You think quite highly of yourself, don't you? I doubt that Kate is worrying about you.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I totally agree. Without a doubt. Kate doesn't worry about anyone but Kate, and her hair, her fish in paper meals, her nails, her tanning, her pool and her leather sofa, and what vacation and freebies she can grift. That's been quite clear in the SuperFunSandy tweet and her "we're having fun with Sandy" tweet. It's all about Kate, and she's made that quite clear. Why should anyone expect her to worry about anyone else, and that includes those who have suffered tragically in the storm? If she did, she'd be on twitter encouraging donations. She's not. She's tweeting platitudes.
Lilly: Ha ha ha! That is a GREAT quote! So very true, too! I'm going to remember that one when needed. It is so frustrating that people, even though I know they DO care, say such silly things....snap out of it, come on..the party will do you good, what's wrong with you TODAY??? Grrrrr!
Save the8 from evil Kate: wow! You sound like we're going through a lot of the same. Mine started with chronic pain, fibro, bursitis, arthritis in my spine and right hand, major digestive issues, etc, etc, etc. I'm only 46 years old but I feel like I'm 90! It sure does mess with your head when docs can't really figure out what is causing severe pain, 24/7... You start to feel like you're going nuts. It's sure not surprising to find oneself in major depression. Then, those meds add to the problems too!! Especially the weight thing. I never had to deal with watching my weight at all...never, ever was over 110lbs until 5 years ago or so. Thought I was bad enough at sons wedding but now this is just nuts!! I'm so destroyed over this I could just cry.
It's so, so nice to be able to talk to people who actually u dear stand and 'get it'! I think I will try your idea of not reading here until I get something done. That will help for sure as this place is addicting ...once I get on here, I can spend hours reading here, twitter, links, etc.
Just me um I admit Jon doesn't have power. This discussion would be pointless otherwise lol. It's just not the issue to me at all. Explain in 500 words or less why Kate's tweet was not parental alienation. And go!

Kate certainly has a right to tweet pics of her kids and the public has a right to say that it's exploitation.

And just what do we call what Liz did? Never posted pics of her dogs or her own kids before. The public has just as much right to call her what she is.
LBelle, I too suffer from clinical depression. I take daily meds (so lucky the first one i tried works great for me). For a while I saw a therapist weekly. Just to talk, gain perspective. It really helped. I also have a thyroid condition, which either exacerbates the depression or caused the depression in the first place.
First things first, go to your doctor and talk to him/her. There are some things, like hypothyroidism that can lead to depression. Have your Vitamin D levels checked too, especially if you live up north. Try to find a medication that works for you. Sometimes it takes a lot of trial and error, but don't give up. You don't necessarily have to take it for a lifetime. See if you can invest in a light box or try to get outside in the sunlight for at least fifteen minutes a day. Walking is a great way to do this and get the benefits of exercise.
When you are overwhelmed with everything realize you are NOT ALONE!!! You may be lonely but you are NOT ALONE! They are different things. (You are never alone because this blog and its wonderful posters are always here) Then just take the day one minute at a time. When you get through that minute try to get through the next ten minutes, when you can do that get through the next hour. Pretty soon you will have made it through the day and tomorrow begins anew. Set small achievable goals. If you have trouble getting out to run miles and miles for exercise, break it down. Tomorrow, just walk to the end of the driveway. The day after walk ten steps beyond the end of the driveway. After each goal met, add just a little more for the next day. If you don't reach your goal on that day, just try again the next. Just remember keep it small and attainable until it becomes habit. Remember to reward yourself when you reach your goals. Nothing big, for example when I went back to college (at 25) if I did all my homework and went to all my classes that Friday on my way home I rewarded myself with a lemonade and a pretzel from Auntie Anne's (the pretzel place, not the blogger)
Try to take the doldrums as an opportunity to re-evaluate your life and adjust your "attitude of gratitude." For instance, I get really really down and unmotivated on gray days so I try not to wallow and find something in my life I am grateful for. Sometimes it's really heavy like my kids, sometimes it's as simple as a piece of dark chocolate. But each time it does improve my mood a bit.
Hope this helps and hang in there. It does and WILL get better.
Just me not sure where you've been but since this Pics came out I said she shouldn't be posting them. So I agree with you. Never said otherwise. So you're getting all upset over something we agree on lol. I'm not sure how much clearer I can be-- she shouldn't do that. I guess maybe you missed it because I didn't have a need to insult anyone when I said that.
I peeked at the twitter feed of one of the RHONJ who is re-tweeting hundreds of tweets directing people to places where help is available. She also shared a video showing her daughter's store that is accepting donations, which are then being distributed by other family members in their business trucks. They are doing so much hands on work to help others.
What's Kate doing? She re-tweeted the number to text donations to the Red Cross. Then it was back to shopping and watching movies with the twins and driving her uber fans into a frenzy against Jon. How is it possible for her sheeple to worship this woman?
You think quite highly of yourself, don't you? I doubt that Kate is worrying about you. Your power over her is all in your head.
It is a double standard, despite your attempt to deflect from that fact. At least own your hypocrisy.
=====
Oh I have all kinds of power over her because she can't get rid of me. She can only get rid of people she knows. Sucks doesn't it?

____________________
Big difference. Huge. Kate puts herself out there on Twitter with insane tweets, lies, photos of meals thrown together that look like something the cat coughed up. Jon doesn't.
I think Kate would miss the comments, even the negative ones. It's what keeps her relevant. She had the run-in with the Philly guy, with Em Tanner. She knew there would be comments about it but she didn't care. She was once again the focus of media attention. She doesn't need anyone's approval, but she sure as heck needs the attention she brings on herself just by making sure she stays in the public eye. Jon, not so much.
Just me actually 100% would allow it as long as you have an appropriate plan like taking then to a friend or a hotel, the former of which even Kate admits was done. My source is 5 years practicing family law. By your logic everyone who lost power in the hurricane should lose their kids. That's absurd.

@ Top'sWife - glad to see you back!
You think quite highly of yourself, don't you? I doubt that Kate is worrying about you.
------------------------------
I think that Kate does worry in her own way about "us". Remember the Quilted Northern grifting incident? It was people like "us" that asked QN what they were thinking giving their product to a milionare who could well afford to buy her own TP rather than to a shelter or some other deserving place. As I recall QN put out a statement distancing themselves from KG. And by "us" I don't mean just the people on this blog, I mean the hundreds who posted to QN on FB. People see Kate for what she is, a grifter who feels she should get a free ride because she is K8 mother of 8.
I've also noticed that since she was canned from CC that she isn't putting @whateverproductshewants on all her tweets. I guess since she doesn't have the CC audience any more @Keurig, coffee_mate, etc aren't giving her the free product.

Admin,
I tried Instagram and I have already taken 5 lovely pics- w/my cell phone!! Amazing. Thx for the head's up on that, much appreciated.
Hi Berks Resident! My knees might be a bit different than yours. They kept swelling and getting painful, I finally got MRI of worst knee. I have raggedy cartilage behind my patella the knee cap, fancy name is chondromalacia of the patella. My orthopedic doctor told me he could inject the knees if they got bad, and that I want bad enough for a knee replacement.
I have to baby my knees, that odds the most important thing. NO SQUATTING EVER. I avoid climbing stairs, I do take stairs going down - more stress on the joint going up. I love yoga but have to modify how I do poses and keep my legs straight when everyone else is doing lotus or Childs pose. I sit on a bench when gardening, no kneeling on my knees anymore. I take glucosamine and condroitin and a multivitamin. The glucoside my doctor said it helps some people, and it won't hurt, so try it. And I think it helps me. conservative treatment and being aware of my body and regular exercise, walking, swimming helps a LOT.
My email is in my profile too.
Admin are you getting a headache from hitting your head into a brick wall? It doesn't matter what we have to say, Kate is the all mighty and everything she does is perfect. She can do no wrong ever. Jon on the other hand can't do anything right ever. I guess we might have to go back to agreeing or ignoring.

FYI- Many of your symptoms sound like you need to maybe consider seeing a Rheumatologist. Many of the symptoms you are describing sound like they could be one of the sero-negative unusual Arthritis types (like Psoriatic or Ankylosing Spondylitis) they don’t show up with normal screening tests and can take many frustrating years to diagnose. It’s hard to find a Doctor curious enough to get to the bottom of a disease that seems like it’s constantly morphing into something else….I’ve been there too. Good luck!

*****************
Where is your proof of the above? The enablers claim he has no electric, and now it's been escalated that he has no hot water, or heat? We don't even know if it was Jon's house that Liz tweeted about.
I lost power for 48 hours--I had hot water. I had battery-powered lights. I didn't need heat because the temperature wasn't that cold.
We don't know anything regarding this as "FACT". Yet, the enablers will continue to bash Jon based on what they believe. Belief is not "FACT".
And, I'm sorry, but because Kate tweets something I don't believe it as "FACT".
@ Andrea - please keep us updated on your artisan bread. That sounds fascinating!

Can you imagine the job CPS and court judges would have if everyone who lost power or property during this storm would be issued an order to appear in court on a custody-related issue?
I guess, since electricity is apparently a requirement to have good parenting skills in America, all of the Amish should have their children taken from them...? ;)
You need electric to heat your hot water heater and electric for the igniter on your furnace.
It is a fact Jon has not paid his power bill and his electric was disconnected.
"You need electric to heat your hot water"
No, I don't. I have a gas water heater that does not require electricity to heat water. Although I lost power, I never lost hot water.
And that is a FACT!!

Hug your children just a little tighter and really stop to appreciate your time with them. I hesitated about posting this, its personal, but decided to share.
A friend of dd was killed in a car accident last week and she came home from college for funeral. The minister asked some of the girls friends to come and usher at the service, and dd thought it was an honor. The girl who died was still in high school, and it was a car accident, the other driver was at fault. So this tragedy and the deaths from Hurricane Sandy have me thinking about mortality, and how the universe seems so random, and why one person dies and another in a similar situation might live. And I hug my dda little closer andtell her how much I love her and how proud I am of her.
Dd was coming home yesterday anyway to do her absentee voting, her first time to vote! She had me take a photo when she was putting the ballot in the box, she was so happy and proud!
Aggiemom, have a great time with your children!

What a horror. Joy, you sound shaken by it all, and rightfully so. That poor family.

Aggiemom, what happiness for you with 5 out of 6 in your house again! Hen Party indeed!
Little family law lesson for the sheeple. Even the homeless are allowed to keep their kids as long as they are safe and cared for and not abused. Ever been to a homeless shelter? Always full of kids. Ever see the Pursuit of Happyness? Will Smith? Kept his kid. True story. Quiz on Friday.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AMEN! I agree with every word. You can't see, but I'm giving you a standing ovation!
Some of us who have endured extended power outages over the years, in summer and winter, have gas or propane powered hot water heaters which work quite well without electricity. And gas fireplace logs are a great great source if the power goes out in winter.
I have learned to cook pretty well on a small propane grill outside when the power goes out, and sometimes just because things taste better grilled!
Readerlady- Haven't seen the movie! The one I don't care for is Kay Scarpetta the pathologist.
Too bad Kate can't read (snark)...I wonder what she DOES read?

**********
So are gas stoves. Yet, I could use my stove to cook on by using a match to light the burners. My gas water heater is not connected to any electric line. The only thing electric about it is that if the pilot goes out, you press a button that creates a spark to reignite it. It is totally independent of your electric service. The pilot itself is run on gas.
Kate is a twit, I agree with you. Eleven days ELEVEN DAYS! we were without power after Hurricane Isabel. Our gas water heater did not miss a beat, we have a community well and that pump had power. So all the neighbors who came to our house for hot showers can tell you, the gas water heater functioned perfectly WITHOUT ELECTRICITY. And that its not just a fact, that its my lived experience.
Oh, and if my pilot light on the gas water heater goes out, I have to relight it with a match. And that is a fact.
thanks for the photos of the marathon runners helping with clean up. That is so uplifting and inspiring!

Just me. You are WRONG. I just looked, and my gas hot water heater has a pilot light that is lit by a match, and does NOT require electricity to ignite. My gas stove does require electricity to ignite, BUT if there is no electricity, you just ignite it with a match.

I bet the homeless shelter had their electric on. Call any CPS about a home not having utilities on and they will tell you it is cause for removal.
It is unsafe and unsanitary to be in a home without electric.
Again, I ask, Admin, how many judges do you know would allow custody in a house without utilities?
FYI, in the interest of informing those who don't have gas and getting misinformation
- whether or not your appliances are affected when the power goes out depends on the type of igniter in the appliance. Many people have gas or propane water heaters which do not have electric igniters, same with stoves and refrigerators, etc. When the power goes out, the gas is still supplied to the appliance and can be lit with a match if the pilot light goes out. Happens all the time around here. The Amish use propane appliances. Works the same for campers.
It's zero business of mine about anyone else's bills. But I did want to clear up misconceptions about the gas thing - it can be confusing.
Jon could be living in a homeless shelter for all I know but that doesnt change the fact that Kate is still a child abusing lying grifting nasty person.
Joy in Virginia - can't see your email address??
Just me - once gas water heater is working you don't have to restart - we turn off living room stove during summer because small flame gives off heat and then restart in fall - only time need electricity
Dwindle, thanks for your kind thoughts. I think it was really good for dd to be able to come home and see her friends and participate in the service. Very very sad.
Unfortunately older dd had similar experience, and it was difficult for her. Sometimes all you can do is listen.

It took 4 weeks to get an appointment with a Miele tech for our stove. Ignite switch just clicked wouldnt catch. I cooked nearly every day still with just a box of matches. Ignorance.

Agree, agree agree
Just an fyi for some people that just don't get it. There are plenty of people I have known who have lived off the grid in one way or another. With and without kids. On a boat with kids. In a log home without electricity on purpose. In a home without running water or an indoor bathroom. Cause they lived in old family houses that had never had running water or Bathroom. they made out just fine. It is not convenient, but also not inherently unsafe.

Amen, Admin. Their argument is pointless, their 'facts' are completely non-existent and with almost each post they show their ignorance, from appliances to family law.
Just Me, I don't know what you know or don't know about Kate and Jon. ( I have my suspicions that it isn't much more than I know.)
But, you certainly don't know anything about rural homes that do not survive in an "all electric" mode. There are many comforts that we sustain even when the power is off. Other posters are doing a fine job of trying to explain that to you.
I do know a wonderful mom who struggles with the situation of her ex -- the father of her 8-year-old daughter. He is currently "homeless" and moves from shelter to shelter. At one time he had only supervised visitation, but he improved his life enough to have two weekends a month. On those weekends, she rents an inexpensive room at a hotel close to her home. Dad and daughter check-in. She contributes money for fast food, too. She is on a tight budget herself, but she believes that her child needs to see her father in a safe environment.
Yeah, ask Kate if she would consider such a kindness?
You are NOT going to change any thinking here. Isn't there another blog where your contributions would be more appreciated?
Please....stop.

I agree! I feel so bad for the kids that they have a father who loves them, wants them, and tries to do the best for them. It's such a shame that when he drops them off, they scream to go back inside to their mother and can't wait to get out of the car because he's such a bad dad...without power and all, not being able to provide a loving home for them.
You are so right, and I like the truth, too. That's why I'm not speculating on the nonsense that sheeple put forth here as fact.
PatK - I'm raising my hand. I've had enough of just me and company and don't know why we continue to engage them. Wasn't Kate without power last year during the Halloween snowstorm? Kate is a douche for tweeting that he had to settle with the electric company in the first place. Jon can pay the bill and get caught up but Kate will always be a douche.
Last post, You need electricity to regulate the thermostat on the hot water heater. Most hot water heaters need electricity for the igniter..newer ones, the energy efficient ones.

Jon makes mistakes OCCASIONALLY. Just like the rest of us. Sometimes he knows it's a goof up, sometimes he doesn't. Just like the rest of us.
Kate on the other hand seems to live off goof ups. It's her "normal" setting, and she does not CARE who gets hurt by it, least of all her children.
Jon is everyman. Kate is her own universe.
Kate hasn't posted sins this morning. Just me has just said it's her last post. It will be interesting to see if Kate's begins to post again right about now. Just me are you Kate and will the kids be home soon? If you are Kate it is disgusting that you'd be on a blog posting about Jon's situation. Can Jon sue?

Lauri Snow · Regent University-facebook:
I think it is so stupid that this man is given the time of day. Many people where twiting during the storm, Carol for the RHONY made comments on she loved being in the eye of the storm even saying maybe she is weird. CoCo was twiting from here condo soaking wet and taking pictures of it all. Why is it so wrong because Kate did. Weather you like Kate or not she takes care of her children, she was the smarter of the two parents as Jon spent his sleeping with everybody including the kids babysitter, even in their own home. He was throwing money around the world partying. Then just recently said he had such a dilemma, pay child support or rent, but if he didn't pay rent then he would loose his place which he needed to have the kids over but Kate early in the year had stopped the child support. Only thing he had to pay was what the court said he owed previously. So why not talk about that, she is supporting the kids without money from Jon, I travel for weeks at a time as a RN was I a bad mom because I left my kids, are the parents bad that let there children be on soap operas or weekly tv shows. People need to grow up, they are bullies, we need to stop all bullying and hate and we would all be in a better place.

I used to tape them to my closet door. The REALLY good ones went on my dresser mirror. Did that till I was nearly 16. All of a sudden one day it looked silly and I took them all down and was amazed at how uncluttered everything looked.
I have ONE hanging in my house now: Having somewhere to go is home. Having someone to love is family. Having both is a blessing.
Oh and at my desk at work I used to have a sign with a circle in the middle of it with a caption that said "Bang head here." But Kate with all these "How to fake happyhappyhappy today" sayings seems so childish, like so much that she does. Pick one or two, Kate, as your mantra (look it up) but dont expect anyone to believe that you live by 20 flowery sayings a week.
I know this is OT, and yes it is "humble brag", but I just wanted to let you all know that my daughter completed her "Boston/NYC" marathon run today! She made up her own bib that said "NYC detour". I am one proud mama today!!

PatK - I'm raising my hand. I've had enough of just me and company and don't know why we continue to engage them. Wasn't Kate without power last year during the Halloween snowstorm? Kate is a douche for tweeting that he had to settle with the electric company in the first place. Jon can pay the bill and get caught up but Kate will always be a douche.
====
lol! This is true.
And if we keep kicking the sheeple around we'll be accused of cruelty to animals. It's just that it's so ...well...easy to do.
I want to say this to Double Standard, Just Me, the 'sweet old lady' and the rest of the flock and then I'll put the sheeple chow back in the shed;
Sheeple you are Kate's problem. If you like her so much, encourage her to get help for her mental illness. Jon got help. He admitted he hurt his children by selling them out to TLC. He's been trying to fix that. If Kate was doing that she'd get the same change of attitude towards her as Jon has received by many of us here.
But she's not doing that because she's not right in the head. She's cruel to kids and animals and other living beings. She's greedy and selfish and has no intention of changing her ways. She hurts people. She uses everyone to get what she needs out of them and then kicks them aside and moves on to her next victim. She'll do it to her own children some day too. That's wrong and you sheeple support that kind of behavior.
Now please go away. Go back to your own pasture if you still have one and stay there until Kate does/says something stupid ...which should be in about an hour. Then you can shower her with praise again instead of doing the right thing which is to beg her to get professional treatment - and that doesn't mean in a hair salon.
It will give you something to do today besides bother everyone on this blog.
That means you too "sweet old lady".
re: the 2 pictures Liz posted.
Here's a whacky thought. Maybe the kids LIKE being treated like normal kids and having pictures taken of them as individuals vs a set/pack/group.
Maybe the kids don't have any problem with their dad and Liz posting a couple of blurry, not even full frontal face shots of them just like all their friends parents do because it's NORMAL.
These photos aren't like the ones Kate takes of them. They are not photo ops that are all set up. They are just normal family candids.
The kids are old enough and smart enough to tell the difference.
"Just me" is playing its usual weekend games again. Its usual *boring* weekend games, I might add. Is it only me, or "it" writes exactly like a very young teenager would? And a not too bright one on top of that. Yawn...
Since I've taken the time to write this, I might as well also fess up with the fact that, like Auntie Ann, I am blessed with powers. (We Canadians are like that...) If I'm in a car with somebody driving me in a busy downtown, we will find an extraordinary parking place right next to where we are going. So there. In a nutshell. My power over Kate. She has to park in the "Reserved for the handicap lane". Not me. Never.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats to your daughter! You have reason to be very proud! :)
gabby, 134, posted a comment from a fan...
CoCo was twiting from here condo soaking wet and taking pictures of it all. Why is it so wrong because Kate did. Weather you like Kate or not she takes care of her children, she was the smarter of the two parents as Jon spent his sleeping with everybody including the kids babysitter, even in their own home. He was throwing money around the world partying. Then just recently said he had such a dilemma, pay child support or rent, but if he didn't pay rent then he would loose his place which he needed to have the kids over but Kate early in the year had stopped the child support.
People need to grow up, they are bullies, we need to stop all bullying and hate and we would all be in a better place.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Where twiting? Weather? Loose? Jon spent his sleeping? There children? A RN? I think that perhaps instead of worrying about people growing up, this person should return to school. Aside from the fact that this was written by a near-illiterate, this is such typical sheeple thinking. It really does sum up their deficiency in logic, the inability to see the whole picture.
It would be amusing if it wouldn't be so sad. The intelligence just isn't there and neither are the facts on which they base their statements. These are her fans. She must be so very proud.

In all honesty with her mental state I guess she is parking in the correct spot.
This thing with the electric bill is unsettling to me. No one lives their life thinking "well, winter is coming, think I'll hire a limo to go out of state for a hair job and let my electricity be shut off instead". It's upsetting and humiliating and mediocre people put their bills first and do without frills.
Would any single sheeplepigeon get on Twitter or Facebook or whatever and announce "ATTN: I see Mrs Mary Jones across the street from me is without power till she settles with the electric company." ?? Why is it ok for Kate to announce this about Mady's and Hannah's daddy? Would it be ok for Mady to text message a classmate and say "my mom just got a letter from a bill collector" ?? Would it be OK for Jon to tweet "Kate wont be getting her hair done in NY anymore till she settles with the salon"?? This is no one's business, how dare she get on the g%d damn internet and announce someone's financial concerns. Jon isnt the one living off his children's money, SHE IS.
How about Jon getting on the internet and announcing how much of the children's money she is drawing on every month.
And about the pics of the kids with a pit bull: If it would have been a poodle, there still would have been outrage. It had nothing to do with the dog, it had to do with petty jealous female sheeple royally pissed off at the evidence that KATE'S children are around JON'S GIRLFRIEND. If Steve The PurseBoy had tweeted a pic of one of the kids with Shoka, it would have been all fine and dandy.
To the sheeple it has nothing to do with the dog breed or the children's privacy. It was all. about. the. girlfriend. near. the. kids.

Just me is BEYOND WRONG about parent s needing electricity or kids will get taken away- The Amish was a great example, but not only that, there are (and I hate to say I even know about it) people who are SOOO cheap, they refuse to run electricity, the light candles, they have hearths, and they wear those headbands w/flashlights on them that cavers wear. They aren't even close to losing their kids. Plus, I think someone else mentioned, many people choose to live off the grid and live life the old fashioned way; I saw examples of multiple families living in the mountains like this- no electricity, they hunt for meat and grow their veggies, they use the pelts from their game for clothing- I mean truly back-in-the-day wilderness style and guess what? They still have their kids!! Just me- now you have been proven wrong, AGAIN, so just STOP.
When Kate posts pictures of the kids, well, it's not about the kids. Most people post pictures of their children on Twitter or Facebook because they love and are proud of their children and their children's accomplisuments. Kate, on the other, uses the pictures to glorify HERSELF, look at ME, I am such a GREAT Mom!!

By golly, Dwindle. You're right. Absolutely right.
You need electricity to regulate the thermostat on the hot water heater. Most hot water heaters need electricity for the igniter..newer ones, the energy efficient ones
*****************
Be sure to come out here to Amish country to inform the Amish and other rural locals that they need electricity for their propane and gas water heaters that they buy new at both the local independent and big box appliance stores and which are advertised in our local papers!
I'm sure they will be pleased to have you educate them about it after all these years of living without electricity. ;)

White Organza - Haha! We northerners do have mystic powers. Kidding aside, I do that too. I never fail to get a parking spot where I need one. Is this a psychic thing or are there just a lot empty parking spaces in Canada? lol.
Your right Paula. Krazy always has to be the center of attention. "LOOK AT MEEEEE"
It's never for the kids. The photos are not of the individual kids, they are just props for Krazy.
I can't understand how she does not get tired of glorifying herself. No self awareness.
A day with Jon snuggled up in sleeping bags playing games is a hell of a lot warmer than a day in that disgusting mansion with that crazy child abuser. No question.
Butterfly I started writing the same thing. I had a hard time deciphering what she was trying to say. I think I am going to have to take a break for a few hours. I just can't take anymore of these crazy sheeple that keep coming here. I have such a headache reading the nonsense they keep regurgitating here.
I too was thinking that Just Me was Kate.
Lbelle, what a dear you are to reach out and ask for advice. Unfortunatly I have little to offer. Someday I will tell you a little bit about what I went through last winter, and how a poster from this blog kept me company in emails through the whole thing. I'll have to ask her permission to use her blog-name.
I found that Vitamin D supplements helped me, alone with a fish oil supplement too. And I KNOW how hard it is to leave the house, but try to force yourself. Every day. Do you have a back yard? Can you just get out there and walk across your yard once a day? Please - let's promise each other we will step out of the house every day for 10 minutes, no matter what.
Open ALL your drapes and blinds. In the evening, turn on the lights. Forget energy management! Get brighter bulbs and run them. Put music on, play it louder than you would usually. Leave the TV off during hours when you might usually have it on. Do you knit, crochet, sew, cross stitch? Can you sign up somewhere for 4 hours a week of volunteer work? - OK maybe that comes later, after you get more accustomed to stepping out of the house every day.
All of this sounds too simple, I know. But it's a combination of things till you find somethings that work, and then in a month you have to switch it up again.
I for one would love to hear how you are doing. I am with you in spirit.
Just me sounds like an idiot.

A few random thoughts here. Didn't KK admit once that Jon never wanted to do the show? It was either in an interview or one of her books. Sorry, I don't have time to look it up, but I'm sure one of the smart, resourceful ladies here will be able to find it if I'm not imagining that statement.

If something can be found, our own Chefsummer

Re: Electric. Sorry, but I'm not buying that Jon didn't pay his electric bill. I'm just not.
We "settle" with utility companies when we go without the service for more than about 6 hours.
We get credit on our account. Maybe "settle" has a different meaning in central PA than it does here.
Kate is a twit, congrats to your daughter! That is not a humble brag - HATE that term - that is a fact that anyone should be proux of and brag about!

Dwindle, don't feel comfortable posting too much personal information because of sheeple....but I share some aches and pains. Just got tested for D levels, and it was way low, 18. Now I am on 40,000IU once a week, and I started fish oil again. Also, I am now trying out resvestrol. So far so good. And I love sam-e.

Exactly why she won't post Halloween "action shots" that she has. She is only interested in posting pics where you can clearly see all her 10 minutes of hard work using free grifted duct tape to put together something pathetic. She doesn't understand it wasn't about her stupid costumes or all HER hard work, it was about the CHILDREN. The purpose of pictures to her are to show off her hard efforts, not to show off the children.
Fellow Canadians Auntie Ann and White Organza, I can tell that neither of you live downtown in Hamilton! Parking spot - what's that?
The handicap lanes are full too. Hospitals charge 15 bucks to park in their lot.
We gave up our car 25 years ago and use public transit, taxis and rent-a-car.It's cheaper in the long run.
I would love for Kate to try and get around in The Hammer!She would be carted off screaming to our wonderful new Mental Health facility (not such a bad idea - should I invite her here for a visit?)
I am sure the kids love their dad and want him in their lives.
I am not sure that Jon feels the same way.
&&&&&&&&&&&
What a horrible thing to say. Truly cruel. The sheeple say that posting things about Kate are hurting the kids. Imagine them knowing there are those spouting things like this -- that their father doesn't love them and want them in their lives.
Gawd, where do these people come from?
Where I live in Canada, everybody has a secondary source of heating - we can't survive in the winter if the power goes out. I have a gas-run fireplace and hot water heater. When the power (the electricity) goes out the gas fireplace just keeps on heating and the gas water heater keeps on heating the water. Wouldn't do us much good if you needed electricity to run them. The worst thing that could happen is if the water pipes burst - so we have to keep the house warm enough in the winter to avoid that. Just the facts as we live them.

And, Auntie Ann... you too?! See? Northern powers, right there! I can also start a gas stove without electricity!!! (Seriously: who's the other person we know, besides Just Me, who didn't know that you can you use a match or a candlelightningthingie to do that? Hmmm...)

Wow so neat - dh said they looked like designer pants
But, what does he know...

Not Kate or CJ...there is a poster here who knows who I am and knows I speak the truth.
Btw - parking isn't a problem here - you are either 2 or 3 spots away and it is free but downtown - ouch
As far as I know, in the state of PA, you cannot have your power turned off if you have children in the house. The power company will work with you and there are many support programs out there to help. IMO, I think that "just me" needs to go take her/his meds. If "just me" does not like the comments here go somewhere else. IW comes to mind. They love Kate there.
Since Jon now has 50% time, he should be able to have access to some of the money that was put away. But no doubt purseboy has both hands on the money. Off shore? New Zealand??
We "settle" with utility companies when we go without the service for more than about 6 hours.
We get credit on our account. Maybe "settle" has a different meaning in central PA than it does here.
------------------
I've never gotten credit on my account when we're out of power, but then again, I never thought to ask! We pay for the electric we use. If we don't have electric, we don't pay. I don't think there's any compensation if we are inconvenienced because of a power outage, but I really don't know. If there's a monetary loss from spoiled food in refrigerators/freezers, doesn't homeowners insurance cover that, depending on the terms of the policy?
As of this morning, there were still about 1,000 customers in Jon's area that were still without power, according to local reports.

Belated shout out to aggiemom and FofK as the costume party winners. Aggiemom your costume brought back a sweet memory for me as my oldest daughter went as a bunch of purple grapes when she was about ten. Easiest costume ever except blowing up the balloons and tying them to string was a pain in the butt. But she looked cute like you did. And FotK I would eat your organic 'slop' any day. I'll bring the Rumspringa.
Haven't read all the comments as there were 973 and it would take me hours to read them all but it's seems Dwindle was the victim of a drive by. Don't know what it was about but I was sorry to hear that. Hope all is well. Dwindle's comments usually crack me up. And is there a new poster named Granny? If there is and she talks about her grandkids, I say rock on. Love My Grandsons and I are guilty of that.
Don't know what I missed regarding Jon and his electric bill but isn't it like Kate and her sheeple to tweet something negative about Jon to deflect bad publicity on her, i.e. her stupid tweet about #SuperFunSandy. Deflect, deflect, deflect. Kate lies; we know she lies; she knows we know she lies; and her sheeple know she lies. They just don't want to admit it hence the deflection. Kate and her sheeple are nothing if not predictable.
@ Exterior Designer Extraordinaire+ What a wonderful post for dear Lbelle. I think I might print it out actually. You really do get it, and your advice is spot on. Like I said earlier, not every 'trick' is an instant improvement for everyone, but you offered up a great 'BAG of tricks' for someone to try.
I am gaining and learning so much from this blog. Thank you all.

-------------------
I think that applies to PGW customers only - if the person living there is over 65 or under 12. However, I do know that shut-off can be delayed if a note is received from a physician or nurse practitioner that states that turning off service will harm the ill person.
At one time they couldn't shut off power in the winter months, but I think that changed with the passing of the Utility Customer Protection Act. It can now be shut off at any time, but not without notice, and there are payment plans available and energy assistance programs in PA. I've worked with social service agencies for those who need help with paying bills, clothing, food and shelter.
Even if documentation comes from a physician that the person needs electricity to survive they may still shut it off:
YORK COUNTY, Pa. —
An elderly York County woman is struggling after having her power shut off.
She can't pay her bill, but needs an oxygen machine to survive.
Her electric company said it's more complicated.
Life with COPD has been painful for 72-year-old Sarah Waye.
"I've worked since I was 16 years old and I've never been in this kind of shape," Waye said.
After struggling to pay her power bill for about a year, Met-Ed shut down her electricity on Tuesday.
The oxygen machine she uses to live no longer works.
She's been donated oxygen tanks, but only a few days' worth.
Met-Ed officials said the power company does not comment on individual customers, but said turning off power is a last resort.
"We will only terminate customers who chronically consistently do not pay their bills," said First Energy Corp. spokesperson Scott Surgeoner.

Please go to see an Endocrinologist. These doctors take the blood work, not normally taken, to determine what your entire system is lacking. Remind him/her of your pre menopausal state. I had symptoms like you and asked so many people, I had more vitamins than Walmart at one point, all wrong. Home remedies don't work when you feel this way. A family doctor is not an endocrinologist either. Only so many blood tests they can authorize with insurance the way it is; but, an endo is the person you need to see. Good Luck

I guess, since electricity is apparently a requirement to have good parenting skills in America, all of the Amish should have their children taken from them...? ;)
///////////////////////////
LOL I don't think even Jon can get away with being Amish...I know he said he was Jewish one time when he was with Hailey.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Oh. Exaggeration is not your friend here. Jon announced he was studying and counseling with a clergy who was a Rabbi. He never announced he was converting to Judaism, to my knowledge.
*I* take grief counseling seminars from a Priest; doesnt make me Catholic, which I am not. (Doesnt mean I counsel in a Catholic tradition either.)
Parents who are outright homeless; in shelters; living in re-entry housing; living in group homes; folks who attend partial hospitalization (day treatment) for mental illness; the courts now bend over backwards to accomodate these parents with as much custody time as possible. The Hollywood scenes of a social worker going to the father's home to ascertain it's fitness for the children is merely a studio fabrication. It never happens unless the father has been ADJUDICATED to be a danger to his children. (Look up that work, it's a biggie!)

So everyone here should fall down on bended knee and beg to find out who you are, what truth you speaketh and who you are? lol! Dream on!
OK, I just went to the garage and looked at my gas water heater. Nope, not plugged in so I guess I don't need electricity to keep it running should the power go out. Yes, my gas stove does have spark ignition but I can bypass that and turn on the gas and light it with a match.
I have a sign in my kitchen that says "a house is not a home without a bulldog". I've also got a lovely Hebrew saying on a gold necklace that my son gave me. It says "God could not be everywhere so he created mothers". It written in Hebrew characters so it's not like I'm wearing a huge #1 mom necklace (not that there's anything wrong with that). We're not Jewish but he saw it, liked it and bought it for me. I wonder if any of Kate's will ever give her anything like that.
I would like to reiterate that the Just me that is currently posting under that name is not the ORIGINAL Just me that has posted since not too long after the blog started.
I am the original Just me and I changed to this name to avoid confusion with the enabler that commandeered my name.

Gas hot water heaters are lighted by electric igniters
**********
So are gas stoves. Yet, I could use my stove to cook on by using a match to light the burners. My gas water heater is not connected to any electric line. The only thing electric about it is that if the pilot goes out, you press a button that creates a spark to reignite it. It is totally independent of your electric service. The pilot itself is run on gas.
@@@@@@@@
That is exactly how my stove and hot water tank are.
Remona Blue - I don't think 2RNs meant any harm. I think that the poster was just mixed up as to who posted asking questions. It does get a little muddled here sometimes.
Kate's agenda is really simple, it has to be, considering her intelligence level. The agenda reads like this:
1. I must try to stay relevant no matter what.
2. I'll lie, cheat and steal to maintain my lifestyle.
3. I want those kids working or staying with Jon.
4. I will use the few sheeple I have because I need the
constant fawning over my awesomeness and various gifts they
send.
5. I will delete my Twitter and the sheeple when
I make it in showbiz, until then they should defend me no matter what.
Sadly, if any sheeple reads this they'll deny that Kate uses them and
gloss over the fact that they defend the indefensible.
Another point for consideration re: Kate's tweet
"Kate Gosselin@Kateplusmy8
@xxx just sent my littles 2 a friend of their dads w him...."
Kate should also not be twittering that John and "his littles" are not at his home. That leaves John's home vulnerable to break-ins and puts the kids at risk.
I don't know why it bothers some people to know that Jon has 50/50 custody. Isn't that best for the children? They love both parents. I don't get why some people think Jon shouldn't have his kids. A father is very important. Can someone, Just Me, please clue me in?

Berks resident -- I have a combination of inflammatory and degenerative arthritis in my knee. So far, I've been able to manage it with heat packs, anti-inflammatories and Tylenol. One of the most important things to remember is to keep it mobile. Change positions frequently and don't over-use it. If it hurts, stop doing whatever. Walking is good. Running is bad. Stairs are questionable.
***********
Thank you, Readerlady. I have a part-time job in retail which requires a good deal of standing, and I'm sure that is not helping my situation. I've been recommended a series of injections into my knee (not cortisone, the thickened liquid that cushions the joint) but it was very scary to me. I appreciate your sharing your treatment options!

Berk's resident - arthritis in one knee has progressed to bone on bone and I get an annual dose (3 injections) of synvisc (artificial
synovial fluid). Prior to this, I was getting cortisone injections, first about once per year, that progressed to every 6 months over
time. They helped immensely.
**********************************
Oh Witch, thank you so much for answering. Mine is bone on bone too but just the medial side. I was offered the Synvisc too and that's why I initially posted...I am very nervous about having this procedure done. #1 because a needle in the knee is SCARY to me! and #2 I have read about it helping some and not so much for others.
I have quite a large co-payment for this procedure, and that is another reason why I was hesitant. But thank you, knowing this has helped you gives me some reassurance anyway!
You guys are the best ever!!!
Formerly Duped, do you mean U of Texas or U of Tennessee? If the former, great. If the latter, then you, your parents, your grandparents, your aunts and I are all rivals.
If you are a Tennessee Volunteer, I have to hate you. I'm a Kentucky Wildcat. Nothing orange is allowed in my house. ;-)
fidosmommy: I know where McMaster is, was just commenting OT.I guess it's irrelevant- but when you leave your country of birth any connection or mention is fun.

Since I've taken the time to write this, I might as well also fess up with the fact that, like Auntie Ann, I am blessed with powers. (We Canadians are like that...) If I'm in a car with somebody driving me in a busy downtown, we will find an extraordinary parking place right next to where we are going. So there. In a nutshell. My power over Kate. She has to park in the "Reserved for the handicap lane". Not me. Never.

White Organza - Haha! We northerners do have mystic powers. Kidding aside, I do that too. I never fail to get a parking spot where I need one. Is this a psychic thing or are there just a lot empty parking spaces in Canada? lol.

Oh, kwitchercrowin', the both of you. You two phone ahead for those magical parking spots, and if you dont share the phone number, I will use MY magical powers to make your alarm clocks ring an hour early tomorrow morning. ;-)
