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.

«Oldest ‹Older 1201 – 1400 of 1434 Newer› Newest»Admin - Just noticed "Our Favorite Things". Breaking Bad. Best. Show. On. TV. EVER! Watched the first couple of seasons on Netflix last January and thought "why did I not notice this show sooner?" So sad it's the last season soon :(
Ok - back to your normal discussion.....
Oh and hi to Sheri too and wildrose and franky. Oh MY! I can't remember all the Johnny Canucks here. Please forgive me. But hi!!
Upstater isn't it the greatest?
Definitely worth a sidebar mention!
I think paid friend Deanna was the troll posting here yesterday. It was too literate to be Kate.
&&&
If it is Deanna she still hasn't passed my voting test. Back away from the polls, slowly Deanna.
I think the blog looks very good. I am worried it may cause a bit of a dilemma for Permanent Name in Blue though.
Thank you, Admin, for going back to the blue background. So much easier on the eyes. Now that you've done that, I like the fuchsia lettering much better. For some reason it's now easier to read. Or maybe it's because my eyes have had a good night's sleep? I still can only read half the left sidebar and still really don't like all the clutter at the bottom. Re the order of the posts -- I've read some blogs that allow the reader to opt for "oldest post first" or "newest post first" by clicking a button, but I don't know if that's a feature that blogger offers.
Heather, ITA about "One For the Money", the movie. Heigl was woefully miscast and I didn't like Debbie Reynolds as Grandma, although I don't think she was too big. Reynolds is a petite woman. I saw her once in person when she was touring in a summer production, and she's just about my height (I'm 5'1"). I thought Maggie Gyllenhall or Sandra Bulloch would make a good Stephanie. I did like Daniel Sunjata as Ranger, although I was hoping for someone like Adam Baldwin in that role.
Someone upthread mentioned the Kay Scarpetta series. Sorry, I can't find the post now. Anyway -- I agree with you. I liked the first 4 or 5, but I think Cornwell wrote herself into a rut and can't find her way out. I normally really like mysteries that have a medical aspect, or a historical twist to them, though. I really like Kathy Reichs' books and Beverly Connor has a couple of series that incorporate history -- her characters are forensic archaeologists/anthropologists.
Roll call, who is having trouble seeing the left sidebar? Is this just a minority or is it a major problem for everyone? It looks fine on the two browsers I tested it on.
If any of you fine ladies could take a screen capture of what you are seeing and email it to me so I can visualize what you mean when you say it is "cut off" it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I am worried it may cause a bit of a dilemma for Permanent Name in Blue though.

Fuchsia? Uh-oh. I'm seeing red.
And I'm not even angry...yet.
Looks good to me, Administrator...
Admin, If I had the slightest idea how to do a screen capture, I'd do it for you. I'm tech challenged. Sorry. I normally use IE, but I also tried Google Chrome and have the same issue on both. Could it just be my particular computer? Although my laptop is one of the ones with a wider screen.
On my work PC all is fine. On my tablet, the sidebar is truncated.
Thank you for changing back to the marbleized blue!!!!
The bottom is better, but still kind of cluttered. Which is ok, cuz I've read all that stuff anyway!
Ooooooh. One thing I just noticed is that now when you post, it takes you back to the most recent page instead of starting over at the first page again. Most helpful when we have 1000 comments on a thread! Thank you!!

OMG!!! Maggie Gyllenhal would have been PERFECT for the sarcastic, bumbling Stephanie, great call. Sandra Bulloch would be good casting in the role, too, but is probably too old at this point (not that she's OLD but that the Stephanie character is in her 20s). Heigl always seems harsh to me, not a fit for a lovable girl next door type.
I always pictured Grandma Mazur like Sophia from the Golden Girls or that rapping granny from The Wedding Singer. Evanovich always made a point that Grandma Mazur was larger than life, but in a small package.
Love the Maggie idea, tho.

She's so transparent. All of a sudden, a week after the tragedy, her twitter account is full of retweets about various hurricane charities. I'm glad she's finally doing something. Sounds like Deana phoned her up and explained to her how a celebrity should act, or ANYONE, when tragedy strikes. Why is it everyone in her life always has to follow Kate around with a broom and a mop? I'm not sure I'm interested in having friends that require that much cleaning up after!
It's really quite amazing to me this woman has managed this long as a celeb. Unbelievable.
So Kate is now all gung-ho about helping victims of Hurricane Sandy? Where was her concern a week ago?
Her bestie, Deanna, apparently tweets some places that need help, and Kate then decides to jump on the bandwagon.
Sorry, Kate. You failed--YOU could have done this on your own, but not until someone(Deanna)actually told you to do something, did you actually do it.
Readerlady if you google whatever computer you have and "how to take a screen capture" it will tell you how. It's very simple, it just tends to vary depending on PC/Mac and even the machine. I had a dell laptop that actually had a screen capture button.
if you get a chance!

Reader lady -- I'm like you about the Scarpetta novels. Her first 3 or 4 were great reads but the rest went swiftly downhill. I wondered if I was the only one that felt that way. I stopped reading her a long while ago. I just love your comment that she wrote herself into a rut and didn't know how to get out of it. Perfect description!
Admin, maybe it's just on my iPad, but at the top where a post begins the recent posts actually come over into the current post.
Heather, I always picture her as being like Sophia too, LOL. I thought Doris Roberts would be good in that role, although from your standpoint, she's probably too large a woman. Betty White could pull it off, too. I've never been a fan of Heigl's. Watched her in "Roswell" and in "Grey's Anatomy" and wasn't impressed with her in either. You're right that Bulloch is probably too old for the part, but she could pull it off. Renee Zellweger could, too. America Ferrara is another who would be good.
Admin, I think it looks spiffy. I still think people could change the page size through their browser. Heelllloooooo! LOL

Blathering about how she's going to help out, send a donation and retweeting addresses is about as far as that stingepot is going to take her generosity. I quite honestly doubt if she will donate a dime.
Yes, I am cynical about Kate Gosselin. (hmm, I wonder why) Unless I see the actual receipt of her donation I won't believe her.
I'm like a cook in the kitchen never satisfied.
I tweeked the width of the entire blog made it a lot smaller so that it hsould fit on most browsers comfortably. Please refresh and report back. :)
ADMIN, I just emailed screen capture to you. Let me know if you got it.
Thanks for bringing back the blue background, Admin! It seems much easier on these old eyes of mine.
Admin -- Okay, I tried that but all I'm getting is a blank screen. I'll keep experimenting and see what I can come up with. However, now that you've changed the format on the left side-bar again, it's different. Words are still chopped off in the middle, but they then continue on the next line, where they didn't before.
Heather, if you have the time, we had quite an interesting discussion about casting for "One For the Money" going on the Amazon mystery forums. You might enjoy reading it.
In the two screen captures that folks sent me, nothing is cut off. That's how it's supposed to look. What am I not seeing here?
The left sidebar is very thin. Maybe that's why you think it's cut off?
In the recent posts sidebar only the first few words of the first sentence are shown the rest you have to click to read. so that's "cut off" for everyone. It's supposed to be like that. Is this what you mean?
Admin, no, the words were cut off in the middle on each line. Now, as I said, they still are, but they continue to the next line.
Tweet -- I did try reducing the size of the page. I went from 100% zoom to 75% zoom and still had the same thing, only smaller.
Well, good gawd almighty!!!! What the heck happened while I was gone?
I don't recognize anything... am I at the right blog?
Oh dear, oh dear, Auntie Ann, Auntie Ann..... whatever shall I do? I'm soooo bad with change - I'll have to take some time dedicated to getting to understand this new format.
Is this for permanent, or is this a blogger "thing" that will be fixed in a bit?
I guess I'll have to go back to read all comments. I think I posted last around 700... ugh.
And Auntie Ann is right - I assume I can keep my name as Permanent Name in BLUE - ha ha. When you all read it, you'll think of me as a relic from times past.... hmmm, I guess I am almost a relic, at least my creaky knees say so each morning.
Off to read back to find out what happened here... from blue to fucsia - isn't that some kind of pH shift? LOL Have we changed our basic acid/alkaline balance here?
Oh geez, I'm so clever - not - see how flustrated and blummoxed I get with change?!
Oh............
Admin, no, the words were cut off in the middle on each line. Now, as I said, they still are, but they continue to the next line.
&&&
Which words? In the recent posts sidebar? Please be more specific. Are you MISSING words or they just go to the next line?
Readerlady, what browser do you use?
Readerlady, maybe you can find help here.

Of course. Someone else always has to do the work. Kate was shopping with the twins, watching movies and baking 888 dozen cookies. She didn't have time to find information. Retweeting she's good at.

What I appreciate about Canada is that even though there was nothing they could do to give those girls their childhoods back, even though essentially they facilitated destroying their lives, they apologized for it and made reparations to them. I believe they paid a settlement of several million. Money can't make up for it but at least they did something. They owned the mistake and vowed it would never happen again.
I don't think you'll ever see that for the Gosselins, sadly enough. Not from PA anyway. They admitted there were all these labor violations, but I didn't see any efforts to make amends for them or apologize. From the individual people in their lives, maybe they'll get some amends. From the bigger ones--TLC, PA, Discovery, dream on.

"....another Canadian here, too. Perhaps there are so many of us who feel strongly about the Gosselin children because of our national embarrasment, the Dionne quintuplet fiasco. I feel that history is repeating itself but on a much larger scale."
Excellent point AMD, and I agree. I have often noted the parallels between the two situations. It's a shame that lessons weren't learned and the exploitation of innocent children is still a matter that's being debated.
Another Canadian here. I have mentioned before that I live in the next town over from the remaining Dionnes, but I wouldn't even know what they look like now.
Also, I very much like the new look of the blog and much prefer the blue background.
Too bad she and the twins could not have figured out a way to turn all that baking into something charitable, maybe a treat for relief effort volunteers. Just something. No, it all just goes into her personal stash of 4 freezers. Another learning moment avoided. Her RTs, especially coming from Deanna, only illustrates her pathetic ignorance and lack of caring for the larger community.
OTOH, we were visiting an ailing relative this past weekend, and I went to her grocery store to do some shopping for her. A local group of military moms was outside the store, collecting non-perishables to send overseas. They were handing out lists to people entering the store. It was a no-brainer for me to purchase a few items for them while doing my cousin's shopping. This is just what you do. Hope you're reading Kate.
OK, I said I wouldn't press the GMO issue anymore, but I just heard about a documentary called:
Genetic Roulette, The Race of Our Lives.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnlTYFKBg18
It explains GMOs and how it relates to a number of health issues, including infertility/reproduction, allergies, GI issues and autism. Reproduction is a HUGE issue with GMOs.
Please, PLEASE, watch at least the first 30 minutes. PLEASE.
If I could send you all money to watch this as a bribe, I would. It's that important. Admin, I am begging you especially to watch it.
I am praying for Prop 37.

Oops, sorry it's Gamble of Our Lives.

This is the saddest thing I’ve read so far from the children. It was written in black marker by one of the Gosselin twins, and Kate of course, threw it in the garbage. I have the original document in my office as a reminder of why I’m doing this. (RH's words)
I’ve been hoping for a black Christmas
Just like the ones I never knew
Where the bush bottoms glisten
And A-dults ignore
To hear sleigh bells in the rain
I’ve been hoping for a black Christmas
With every Christmas card I recive
My your days be sa-ad and dark
And may all your Christmases be black.

Tweet -- I usually use IE, but I also have Google Chrome and Firefox downloaded on my computer. I tried IE and GC. I have a 15" monitor.
If Deanna had not tweeted Kate, the only acknowledgement of Sandy would have been her shout out to Ted Gibson's Salon. What a POS. She has no concept of anything outside her world. Now that I've said that and she reads here, let's see if an INF photo pops up of her dropping off a package at her local UPS.
The next big thing will be if Steve and family show up for Thanksgiving. At least she looks his age now (snark). My God, the woman looks 10 years older in the bright sunlight.
It took Kate five days to finally meek out addresses to send supplies for the hurricane victims? What about her connection to the Red Cross? Why wouldn't she have contacted RC to ask for information on how to help instead asking Deanna, a victim, for that?!? Again, she did mention she checks the news first thing in the morning to see what she would be facing that day. She said that in an interview during her stunt with DWTS!!! She does know how to check for news updates!!
OT - I just watched them filming a scene for Hawaii 5-O. Some guy in a white lab coat jumped off a truck, ran into the street and hijacked a car. The woman in the car rolled on the street and McGarrett swooped in to save her right before a big truck came by. Then he and Kono were standing by the side of the street talking. It was pretty cool.
LB, when Kate said she checks the new every morning, what she really meant is that she googles her name religiously. It was all about her at all times. It's her only religion.
Oh my that poem is the saddest thing I have ever read. I would love for us to get back into the book to get away from all the distractions from the dark side. I have the book and when I go to read it I just stare at the page and don't know a fraction of what it contains.
When I see the words I know it is New Year's Eve and the stores are about to close but I am over my gift card limit and wonder if you could phone me in another right quick, I am just stunned and cannot continue.
OT
thanks for the shout out Auntie Anne..re us Canadians
I think the difference is the show was "real life"..where as kids on scripted shows are "characters. My dd goes to school with a teen on a popular show here, but is known as just her at school..and a different character on the show, the 2 don't mix, so her private life is just that.
the kids understand and respe t that.
the poor G8 were shown in their real lives..thus confusion is sure to happen.
jumbled post..hope my intentions were clear..worked too much lately and gonna hit rumspringas now..lol
I hope laws are enacted in every state to protect kids especially on reality shows

Ladies, please donate to the Red Cross relief efforts. They are best organized to give help. Food and clothing is a nice gesture, but is too difficult to distribute. Those things can cause huge problems.
Please text the word RedCross to 9-0-9-9-9 and donate money. The needs are enormous.
Readerlady said....Tweet -- I usually use IE, but I also have Google Chrome and Firefox downloaded on my computer. I tried IE and GC. I have a 15" monitor.
_____________________________________________
I think it's your monitor size that is the problem. They're making them larger and rectangular now. I noticed a big difference in what I could see on the page after I got one. It's 23" or 24 inches.
I vote for getting back to talking about the book as well. That poem is a real eye opener that something is very wrong in that house. Admin, can we have a new post up about more chapters?
I see the same thing Readerlady (49) sees.
Another reason to donate cash not stuff is that cash can be used to buy from local businesses and stimulate the local economy to get back on track. If locals buy socks from local merchants in New Jersey they can use those profits to rebuild. A Win win.
I know that this isn't going to be a popular opinion, but I think that the song was done as an "opposite" of White Christmas and I think that maybe we're trying to read a little too much in to it. I know some kids that try to do "opposites" of things like that just to see how well they do.
Tweet, If I had a desk top, I'd get a bigger monitor, but my computer is a laptop and I'm not sure I could lug around one big enough to have a 23" monitor, if they even come that big. I'll just figure out a way to work around it. I'm just glad we have our neat blue marbled background back. Thanks again for restoring it, Admin.
I agree that the poem is very disturbing, even if it's meant as a joke or a parody and not to be taken seriously (and I'm not saying that this is the case, just putting it out there as a possibility). I also agree that we should go back to talking about the book, unless there's something else out there in the Kateverse that needs discussion.

It's terrifying, and is brilliantly done, explaining in plain language the true costs of GMOs as well as the corruption behind the industry, which seems to have free reign. It silences the scientists who claim that GMOs are harmful.

D-listed has another post on Kate:
http://dlisted.com/2012/11/05/what-kate-gosselin-mad-about-today
NJGal, I thought the same thing. Those kids are spoiled by Kate with toys (to make Jon look bad and buy the kids' loyalty), so I doubt Mady was unhappy about Xmas.
Boy oh boy, the pit bull lovers are coming out against Kate in full force.
OMG. Thanks for that DListed article. Great!
"...those kids would be less screwed if they were raised by a pack of pit bulls instead of Jon and Kate."
Pit bulls get a bad rap. It's the people who train them to fight that are the real menace. People like Michael Vick. I was sickened by what he did.
Kate mistreats a dog, but has the gall to act all put out about Liz's dog, who obviously is very sweet. Looks like a lover to me, not a biter.
D-Listed author's tags are great too:
"It's not easy being a cunt" and "Shut your hole". I think he about covers it.

I agree. That's what DH said when he read it. I don't think Mady is unhappy. She seems to have adopted Kate's ways and apparently that has got her in good graces.
I vote "yes" on more book posts. I read about two thirds of the book and then stopped. I actually couldn't take it anymore. While the evil Kate made me sick to my stomach, the lack of editing and repeated content drove me nuts, too. I'll probably pick it up to finish at some point.
And another Canadian here. I live across the river from our Parliament Buildings.
Admin I can see all of the left and right bars.
Yes, more book, please. I plan on re-reading because I ended up skipping some pages. Just too hard to read (sad) and repeating of material. I think it's important for those who did not get a chance to buy to the book to understand what all is in it.
I'd love to talk more about the book. I was a lot of information to take in and I got almost numb to it after a while. Re-reading the passages would help me to digest it.
Another Canuck here, and yes, more of the book please?
Dog story - someone at the office just got a German Shepherd puppy. Adorable. I grew up with GSDs. Of course, a co-worker had to rain on her parade by telling her all about how GSDs are vicious and shouldn't be around kids. Any dog can be mean. Even my little dachshund gets nasty comments about how dachshunds are biters. Mine greatly prefers licking and is only vicious to stuffed toys.
In the spirit of being positive - because you know Kate tweets her regurgitated platitudes daily - I'm going to post something positive about Kate.
Deep breath.
She is a mother.
Well that's it for today. Thanks for tuning in!

I'm ready for more book also. In fact, I'd rather have more book than any topic about the election. We are a passionate bunch, and electing a President is a passionate, personal event. If there is a topic about the election, judging by feelings hurt on this very topic about a comment Admin made, I can't see anything other than chaos w/a topic about the election.
Back to the book...there are many things from Robert's book in the archives on his GOSSELIN BOOK blog....
http://gosselinbook.blogspot.com/
Instead of people asking is that dog dangerous, people should be asking is that owner dangerous.
Add the pit bull lobby to another group Kate's ticked off!
That White/Black Christmas poem reminds me of something me and my sister wrote about a song we had to perform in our school orchestra when we were little, we had a piano recital, playing White Christmas and we hated the practice, over and over and over, we we re wrote the worse words and we sang it at home when we practiced, my mother ignored us. But we laugh every year when that song plays and we are together. It is a kid's thing to do that. RH does not impress me. I think most of what he got with contracts, etc is from Jon. The journal he and Jon wrote. RH is using this blog to make money.Wish I could believe him but something tells me he wrote what he thinks we want to hear. Hope no one writes anymore of those chapters, I just don't believe them. All Robert's way of using you Admin.Why didn't anyone else put his chapters on their blogs? No one believes him.
If I could say something about free health care.... I live in the US and although our health care system is very flawed, I would rather have it than pay exorbitant taxes for the 'free' kind. Our taxes are already ridiculous, I can only hope we survive if the current health plan is fully operational. I have a daughter in her 30's who has no health insurance and it is very scary to me. But we are a family, first and foremost, and we will take care of her as best we can. There are many doctors and hospitals which allow private pay and will give huge discounts in a lot of cases, I have personally seen that happen in daughters case. But I don't think, and this is JMO, that the rest of the country owes me 'free' care. I just don't. The taxes must go up frequently to support this plan. I don't think there are any perfect scenarios out there, but I just dont want to expect others to pay for me and mine.
I also believe wholeheartedly that voting is a privilege and don't really appreciate someone suggesting we vote for something they have in their country a few days before our election. I know there are some Canadians on this blog and this is definitely not a slam at you or your country. But then the majority of you have not tried to push your agenda on us. Thank you for that. If your system of health care works for you and your country, then that's wonderful.

Well....hello, animal & child abuser enabler!! Is that is? Is that all you've got? You're forgetting your 'tells' again!! Yes, you are!!
Anonymous @80 - I don't for a minute believe that Jon and Robert wrote that journal. I firmly believe that those are Kate's words and those were her actions.
Don't you have anything better to do than post here today Kate?
I absolutely think it's time for another chapter review. Enough of politics...I voted three days ago.
Thanks for the video on GMO's I have long suspected the stomach issues I have had since mid 1990's are related to recombinant DNA crops.
I would like to remind people that are talking about the shots for knee pain that right now it is NOT a good time for STEROID shots.
I don't think the shots ya'll are talking about are steroids, but I saw steroid shots mentioned at some point, so I wanted to throw this out there.
The CDC just had another recall on 10/31 from another company, which was apparently a "brand name" company that uses some of the same production people somewhere along the line as the MA company that has the shots with the fungal meningitis.
My pain dr. has discontinued ALL steroid shots until this is cleared up for exactly that reason. He buys brand name shots, but he was afraid there may be more recalls coming from other companies, so he told me he would not feel safe giving me trigger point injections until the whole thing was cleared up.
I just wanted to put this out there because I'd hate to see a dr. NOT mention it and someone get sick when they didn't know the possibility was out there.
Anonymous, 80...there is a large flaw in your logic. If Jon and Robert wrote Kate's journal entries and lied by saying she was the author, her lawsuit would have stopped the fraud and the publication immediately.
She has powerful attorneys working for her. She would have asked, "Can we sue?" and they would have responded, "YES!"
Her first attempt to stop the book failed because she wrote the journal entries. She worked frantically to find another way to stop the book. So far, her second attempt has kept Robert from re-publishing.
None of us knows what will happen in the future regarding the book.
Please, if Kate didn't write the journals/emails there would have been a libel suit faster than you could say "Target gift card."
The C&D to amazon also would not have mentioned IP right (ie: copyright). You can't copyright something you didn't write, afterall.
PoohBear, we agree. And, thanks for the steroid reminder to all of us.
Serisiously, Jon wrote Kate's journal? So, ok, Jon compared his own son to himself in a negative way and ordered himself to get more stuff done around the house?
It's totally Kate. I never go the impression that Jon thinks he's better than everyone else. I can't see him slamming doctors, nurses and teachers like they are all scum on his shoes. No. That's totally Kate.
love the blue and whole setup.
If the 'song' was rewritten by one of the twins, I would think it was Cara. She is the withdrawn one and the one that isn't in her mommy's pocket doing whatevah to appease her and her huge ego and need for constant and continual validation of her self-worth.
As for the poem, it is very sad and bleak and un-child-like. I would almost question its authenticity. But if it's really written by one of the twins, yes, it does to me indicate a serious problem in the family.Where are the shrieks of joy and countless thank- you Mommys?
Love the marbled blue background. Tres cool.
I worry more about the boys under Krazy's thumb/stick/belt...or whatever she is using now days.
Have you seen Genetic Roulette?
heather
Not yet. Netflix have it? The opposition is formidable and wealthy. This election is tying my stomach in knots!
I haven't weighed in on Kate's stupid tweets about Jon, but I wanted to say HOLY F*CKBALLS!
That bitch is so bitter and mean. Damn....she really is. I do not envy Liz or any woman who has to tangle with Kate in any way, shape or form.
If I were Jon, I tell her in no uncertain terms to never, ever tweet where I am, or that my house is empty with no electricity. And if Kate had any decency she would shut down the complaints about Liz's dog loving all over the kids. I mean, the dog was licking them and snuggling?
Ever seen a pic of the kids loving on Shoka or vice versa? If you took pics in my house, there'd be one or more dogs in the background. Always.
Shoka is never in the pic unless it's posed. He's a prop. I bet Shoka wishes he could hang with Jon and Liz.
Late to the conversation regarding Pitbulls being aggressive. Here are my two cents-
they are only agressive if you abuse them, or raise them to be agressive.
If I had to choose between living with a sweet Pitbull, or living with an abusive, & aggressive Katie Irene- I'll take the Pitbull any day.
Right on, PoohBear.
That journal is ALL KATIE.

No worries Auntie! Seems we can't even keep track of each other. Canada is a pretty big place after all. :D
I think what's important is that we feel just as part of the community as anyone else.
Thanks to Admin and all for that.
I personally think the songs was a parody on the original. Everything was written using antonyms...seems like a great school assignment if you ask me. I'm not trying to defend Kate in any way, but when I first read that, it sounded a lot like the type of an assignment I used to assign when I was a teacher.
Karten, IMO I can see another song being used for an antonym exercise, but not White Christmas. This holiday should be a magical & fun time for children, yes, building memories and learning about giving and receiving, let alone the cherished traditions & songs of Christmases past.
The G kids' memories are fake TV sets and gifts from strangers , and blank newsprint-wrapped packages thrown onto their assigned spot on the floor by a bored mother.
That poem...I don't know. When I first read it, my impression was that it was not written by an 11 year old. Too much adult understanding.
But now that someone brought up that it could have been a school assignment to use antonyms, I guess I could see a kid writing it.
If it wasn't an assignment...holy buckets. I'd have that kid into long-term one-on-one counseling in two seconds.
oops, sorry, Karen for the typo in your name- have had a migraine today.
If Kate has a problem with the pit bulls, she should take it up with Jon privately, not on twitter. Passive/aggressive B.s. She's an idiot.

Kate is angling for another boo hoo media tour. Go on shows, vilify Jon, cry with no tears and of course, go to Nobu!
Why does every problem Kate have with Jon end up on Twitter? Why can't they work these problems out privately. I think Kate posts these issues on twitter so that her self appointed protectors on twitter will take up the cause and try to make Kate's case for her so that she can sit by passively/aggressively being the bitch that she is. It is so transparent and yet Kate thinks she is being sly. Double middle finger to Kate!
Marie
Because she makes such a big deal on twitter is why Jon and others must not feed the beast. I'm sure it is tempting to get her back on twitter, like posting those pictures but it just turns into another opportunity for her.
Did I see kate spent the weekend with the twins? why is she sheilding them so much, i thought at age 12 girls are hanging out with friends, going to mall or having sporting events, they need a social life does she not know shes their mother not best freiend
106...I think she hangs out with them because she has no friends.
why is she sheilding them so much
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because they are old enough to know what is happening is not normal and they are old enough to tell people about it.
Mady was calling her out on tv when she was 5-7 years old. If she loses control of her, that child may will sing like a canary.
I am hosting a Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday Nov 21, so I would really really really really like a holiday planning thread. Please!
Also another chapter thread would be good!
Thanks admin!
Man oh man, does D Listed have her number. They said Kate should say to Jon "keep those pit bulls away from my money makers because if any rabid beast is going to attack my children, it's going to be me". I love how everyone, and I do mean everyone, has finally seen her for the awful creature that she is. Karma is a bitch!

It chaps my butt every time Kate chirps about all the kids playing in the basement. It's such a shame that we never see or hear of them playing with friends. It's like they are their own little tribe and their social skills have been stunted by cloistering them at the compound. See getting kicked out of kindergarten as exhibit A!
What kids want to hang with their siblings day in and day out? I had friends on my street and would get driven to school friends houses all the time. I had cousins that I actually saw too.
Kate has been controlling and isolating those kids. I hope Jon lets friends come over.
I dont know about the peom being a parody. If it weren't for the A-Adult ignore thing maybe...but something about it sounds depressed.
I love how everyone, and I do mean everyone, has finally seen her for the awful creature that she is. Karma is a bitch!

Kate is universally hated. She has very, very few supporters. It's not like people love to hate her...they just hate her.
Kate does nothing to help her image either. This latest pit bull debacle just turned on her. People love their dogs and their pit bulls. Once again, she insults countless people who love dogs and have them around their kids. What? Are they all stupid and irresponsible?
How ironic that this woman who got 2 dogs FOR A TV SHOW and then kicked them out of the house only to bring 1 back FOR A TV SHOW weighs in negatively about a dog who her children obviously adore.
What, Mommy? Is it bad to love Liz's dog? Can you imagine how confused they must be?
Kate the hag is jealous of a freeking dog.
re:poem
Kids that write poetry, don't they usually write them in a notebook or journal? Without seeing a copy of the actual poem, it's hard to determine if it was a school assignment or not. If on the page it has first and last name,etc, then it's a school assignment.
I've never heard of a teacher asking kids to take a Christmas poem and make it macabre.
She's come undone 81- I did not suggest that people should vote for a particular candidate; I assume that both candidates have a plan for health care. I did suggest that people consider health care delivery in this election.
The suggestion came from my honest concern about friends who are struggling under a huge medical debtload and my lack of ability to understand why anyone would allow this to happen in a free and wealthy country.
Frankly, I don't give a damn whom you choose to be president and I don't have an agenda to push.Good luck to whoever wins.

Re: Robert and Jon writing the journal. I've done work in forensic linguistics, which is language analysis and application of writing styles in order to identify the author. It's similar to handwriting analysis, but it studies the style of writing (rather than the way specific letters are written) in order to determine if two or more written works can be attributed to the same writer. Determining who wrote a particular text by comparing it to known writing samples of a suspect is also called forensic stylistics. For example, the ordering of nouns, verbs and subject in a sentence can give some clue as to the identity of the writer, as does the use and placement of punctuation. Simply put, just as handwriting is used both in crime-solving and in determination of authorship, linguistics applies a similar method to language skills. Criminologists may use it to determine the author of ransom notes and suicide notes that have been typed. Just as no two handwritings are identical, each person has his own pattern of arranging words within a sentence.
I've taken a look at the journal entries in the book (I was curious...and bored), and I compared them to Kate's tweets and her words in the last books that she wrote. It appears to be the same author. I've read Robert's writing style in his blogs, in the book, and in his tweets, as well as various pieces of Jon's writing. In my opinion, neither Jon nor Robert wrote the journals. They are Kate's works. The pattern of language usage points to her.
Is this method 100 percent accurate? No science can claim that, but it is reliable, and I bet my bottom dollar that if Kate said she didn't write those journals, attorneys would have hired an expert to determine the author. So far, we haven't heard anything out of them.

Maybe one of the twins (or both) had an assignment to rewrite SOMETHING with antonyms, and they enjoyed the exercise so much they continued with the song "White Christmas"? I remember continuing exercises/assignments that I liked.

I agree that it's not just the way everyone knows that KK doesn't correctly spell whoa, but it is more the style of writing that is soooooo KK. It is not even the style of writing that is KK, but the way her mind works in the style of writing, that is more than enough proof that KK wrote that journal.
Even though I've not been posting on this blog all that long, if someone came in and started posting as Remona Blue (even if the name was in blue) there more than an handful of people who would say....hey, that doesn't ''sound like'' Remona Blue!!
Jon and/or Robert didn't make the journal up. It is not a forgery!

Kate's journal reeks of her hubris and sense of superiority. Her "I'm-a-nurse-don't-tell-me-you're-not-going-to-prescribe-meds-over-the-phone-I-know-more-than-you" diatribes.
I bet all these poor people who had to deal with her bent over backwards to be nice to her, only to have her go home and snicker and sneer as she taps out how stupid they all are.
I truly hope the people she singled out read the book.

I went to D-Listed. The comments were scathing. I love that picture. The child is in utter bliss and the dog has a such a knowing look about her as if she is able to see his soul and knows that he (in particular) needs just what she is giving him - pure unconditional love and affection. Award-winning photography.

Agree. Kate is absolutely cruel to those kids by having her public anti-pit bulls tweets out there.
Now will the kids be afraid of Liz's dog? Will they feel that they shouldn't love the dog because Kate disapproves? Will they be afraid to share stories about the dog?
Again, she confuses them. It's ok to have your bowel movements filmed, but paps are bad.

I believe what was happening is that D's twitter is protected, and KK was trying to retweet what D was saying and it wasn't working.....(retweeting a protected comment) Finally, KK c/p what D was tweeting her. In any case, KK didn't look up or initiate a single thing....it all came from D.
Remona Blue, I think you're right, my mistake. She did retweet other people's tweets for aid so she gets a pass this time.
Sorry about the cap lock too.
Huff Post's NaughtybutNice Rob has an article about Kate tweeting how happy she was that Ted Gibson was back in business. Not too flattering, I think. It quotes a "friend of Kate"(Deanna?):
“Like many women, her hair and her hairdresser mean a great deal to her,” a friend of Kate’s tells me. “Kate spends a great deal of time and effort making sure she looks great -- that’s not a bad thing. What lady isn’t worried about her hair on a rainy, windy day? She was happy that her friend's business was up and running again. She can’t say anything without upsetting someone. It's crazy.”
But this is the line that I loved:
"However, even Kate’s loyal friend had trouble explaining the mom of eight's tweets about Sandy under the hashtag #SuperfunSandy! Ouch.
A request to Gosselin for comment has not been answered."

I wish someone would report about Kate blathering on about how Sandy isn't good for her figure. A storm is killing people and destroying what's in its path and Kate is worried that she might gain weight. Only Kate, I tell ya.
She looks too thin. It's like she's fishing for people to tell her how skinny she is.
"I think the blog looks very good. I am worried it may cause a bit of a dilemma for Permanent Name in Blue though."
-----------------
I second that. It looks very nice, and I can see both sidebars now (in their entirety). The only trouble I have reading (and it may be my eyes) is the gray on gray in some of the points in the lists of the 8s exploitation and essential reading at the bottom.
Too bad she did not spent too much time being a loving mother and faithful wife.
Now all she has are a bodyguard, makeup person and PR pusher.

I vote "yes" on more book posts. I read about two thirds of the book and then stopped. I actually couldn't take it anymore. While the evil Kate made me sick to my stomach, the lack of editing and repeated content drove me nuts, too. I'll probably pick it up to finish at some point.

EXACTLY the same here. i was re reading the same thing over and over, so i just put the book aside. i was shocked to read the Christmas poem upthread, I missed it in the book because I was stuck in the quagmire of repeat pages.

What woman doesn't worry about her hair? Um well speaking for myself I'm concerned about the elections and about all those poor people recovering from that storm and a new one on the way. I'm not worried about my stupid hair, no. Nice try though.
Kate has no platform to post "news" on except Kate's Blog".................I regret checking out that Blog, but found she posted ways to help NY. I guess Deanna wants Kate to help because Deanna has helped Kate. Wonder if Kate will "help" or just go to hair stylist!
I can't stand they whole "hey, every woman wants to look pretty" crap as an excuse for Kate lavishing herself with a trip to NYC every 5 weeks. There is nothing unique or special or anything about Kate's hair. No reason she can't find someone local.
Most times it looks like yellow straw anyway. What a waste. Mothers don't leave their children for days at a time to get their hair done.
"Moms can have fun too!"= I'm doing DWTS and will be gone most of the week while my kids are in school.
"Moms need relaxation"= I'm going to spend your college funds on manis, pedis and spa visits.
"Moms can look good too!"=I'm going to dress like a hooker and pose in a skimpy bikini. Oh, and I'll wear a nude colored string bikini in front of your husband and teenage boys.
The poem would have been written during the throes of the divorce which I am sure was a very BLACK time for all of the kids. I had prepared a huge elaboration but the words made my heart race, and I realized that it was not necessary, not here. Yes, BLACK DAYS, I am sure. Probably why it ended up the garbage. Not allowed.
To lighten the load, I am going to go and watch DWTS and see if they found a way to bring Sabrina back as well they should since the voting parameters were askew that week somehow due to the debates.

I found your post very interesting. Yes, you can tell a lot about a person by the way they write.
What I found fascinating when reading Kate's journal's was her lack of emotion. Even when she wrote about picking her child up by the hair and throwing them in the crib. She knew it was wrong but there was really no emotion behind it. That's what makes me know that she is a complete sociopath. She blunders through life without a clue of what's appropriate and what's not appropriate. She's 37 years old and has the mind of an 11 year old.
As people age, they learn from experience. Kate hasn't learned jack shit for as long as she's been on this planet. It still astounds me.
I've known a few people in my life who are stilted in their development. It's scary and you can never have a real relationship with them. They can never see passed themselves.
As a layman I thought that Kate's writing style was very distinct and would be difficult to imitate so precisely especially by someone who wasn't a writer, but it's nice to know someone who has studied this more extensively saw the same thing.

Applebee's has a great vets menu for free for vets and active duty. You do have to pay for drinks. Still a great deal if you like that place. My dad usually goes though says it's a long line.
Speaking of writing, I was going through some old floppy discs getting rid of things and found some old stuff from my creative writing class from freshman year.
Yeah it was mostly crap, I've come a long way (lol) but it was kind of fascinating that my "style" was still there, my "voice" was there. Seems like that's something you really can't shake from a person.

I have thought the same thing! We have friends that are running the 65 year old family Italian resturant business. They sustained some damage to the old building during the storm and had to shut down for 2 days. Business is bad enough these days for them, without this! But when they sent out messages about being back open, us regulars and friends of the family acted like it was a grand opening celebration and packed the place! We were just happy for our friends, not our selfish needs for the owner's wife's lazagna so *I* dont have to cook dinner!
Oh and it's at the corner and over a bit, and we drive there; it isnt out of state, and we dont hire a car and a driver and professional purse carrier to get there. Out of our children's money.

I forgot to post this this morning for the Chris Christie crew here. SNL did a hysterical parody of some of the press conferences. They also spoofed that very expressive sign language interpreter, one of the best skits they've done in ages.

Heather,
My gastroenterologist told me he is seeing a lot of intestinal/digestive problems with his patients and he believes they are linked to GMO's. This after I told him that I don't test positive to allergy to corn, yet I have digestive issues when I eat corn.
Like him or not, Christie speaks his mind, knows right from wrong, and is not afraid to call things what they are. I like him - a lot.
He does have a good character, and I would rather that than a great speaker with no substance. Perfect, no.. but I do admire him.
I've always like straight talk, I've liked this guy for years. Saturday Night Live would have so much fun with him if he ever runs for president. In good fun of course.
Don't you wish Chris Christie would interview Kate? The only person to call Kate out was Ellen. I loved when she had a stack of rag mags with Kate's picture on the front. Ellen was like "wtf are you doing on all these magazines? I don't get it". And of course I loved the "code speak" comment.
Actually, Whoopie doesn't cut Kate a break. Love that. Baba Wawa is a whole other story.
franky, yes I have my poppy. Are you old enough to remember when Nov.11 was called Armistice Day?
We go to the Cenotaph every year and it is sad and sweet to see the few remaining WW2 vets standing straight and proud, wearing all their medals; the Korean vets, the Canadian Vietnam vets and our current forces.
My husband's closest friend, a Canadian, lost all his high tone hearing while fighting in Vietnam as a member of the Us Army.There were many Canadians who joined the US forces in that war - a little known fact I think.

Like him or not, Christie speaks his mind, knows right from wrong, and is not afraid to call things what they are. I like him - a lot.
He does have a good character, and I would rather that than a great speaker with no substance. Perfect, no.. but I do admire him.
************************************************
New Jersey's no nonsense Governor Christie is a force to be reckoned with. God bless him.
Our country needs more tough guys like him.
Let us not forget Dancin With Them Thar Stars! Apolo and Karina danced first and.... Wow! That's all i'm gonna say!
Even if you do not watch dwts, I highly recommend go to the website tomorrow and watch Apolo and Karina dance! I'm going to watch it over, and over, and over...
The only thing I like about Chris Christie is that he's a hardcore Springsteen fan.
I thought politics was off limits here. It seems that the rule really is "political talk that aligns with the Administrator's beliefs is okay."
Admin 169- Totally agree, he has great character and is a character of sorts.
Jerseyites love him for his honesty; he does speak his mind.
Tucker's Mom- 170- Christie would grill her and eat her for dinner. He is no fool, and can spot a scam artist a million miles away.
Gimme a break Anonymous on this. Truly? General discussions about I like that guy without talking about the issues are fine. I've been patient and let people go further than that this week. As a matter of fact I voted against prop 37, early voting, but there is no point in getting into a fight about it here, and I am perfectly willing to read all the interesting material Heather has without throwing a fit about it.
FYI, Chris Christie doesn't line up anywhere close to everything I believe, but I still like the guy. You're not allowed to say you like a guy?
Meanwhile, little Katie Irene is getting her butt reamed by alot of pittbull owners/ lovers on her Twitter.
Funny how she claims that she did not read anybody tweets today/tonight.
How convenient.

LOL, meanwhile back at the ranch.
I guess it never occurred to her some of her own fans may own that breed of dog? I guess it never occurred to her that her own dog has its haters and is virtually identical in "danger" (as minute as it is, most of it due to bad ownership) as the pit bull is if not moreso? I've never seen someone so utterly incapable of thinking more than two moves ahead, expect perhaps Deanna.
There is a lesson in all this.
Never cross a dog lover.
And really never cross the pit bull lobby.
One year, for Rememberance Day, I mailed a Thank-You card to my elderly neighbour, thanking him for fighting in WW1, to make our lives better. He said that no one ever thanked him before, he was very touched by it. Maybe we should all be sending these Vets Thank-You cards?
Oh as far as the book summaries, I've summarized only chapter 14 which I think is the one I left off on. Chapter 14 was something like 50 pages so it took forever. I haven't checked to see how long the next two are. The book gets confusing due to repeated information so it's no easy task.
One thing I noticed buried in the book is an email from the school about lunch money from a woman with a first and last name. Just to see if that woman does exist, I googled her name, and sure enough she is comptroller at their school, the person who would logically be the one to email Kate about lunch money.
It would be pretty darn suicidal to impersonate an email from that person and not expect to be sued both by that person, but by the entire school. And I'm sure the sheeple by now have been contacting all these people named in the book and the school begging them to deny those are their emails, and getting nowhere. For that reason alone these emails are real. And if they're not, well sheep, there's your first and last name, you can find her just like I did and tell her.

This is so evident that I find it amazing that anyone would doubt that Kate wrote the journals.
How does one just make this stuff up?
Anonymous 174- I started this about Cristie. He is not running for office, but just happens to be govener of a state that has faced major disaster with Hurricane Sandy. Many of us admire him for how he has handled the hurricane so please stop with your rants against Admin.
The best leaders show their true character in times of stress, and I think many appreciate how he has handled this disaster.
If you have issues with Admin, you picked the wrong one to argue over. This is not a political election issue. This is about a hurricane disaster in New Jersey and how he handled it. Raw and real, so please stop with you snipping.
Amazon might have a run on Kindles if they ever get Mr. Hoffman's book back up for sale. A good thing.
It has occured to me that the 2 times I have posted similar paragraphs about objecting to Kate's smashing her sons in the face on film, and grinding a child's shoulder on film, and taunting her frightened child on film, the troll disappears and stops (for a day or 2) accusing us of condemning Kate based on rumors.
Could be coincidence.
They can smooth over a lot of things we saw on tape and film by saying ooo pooowre katie sewww stwesssed, but they havent figured out a way to excuse the FACT that she mashes those little boys in the face rather than speak to them. Her own children. It actually gives me a glimmer of hope for the sheeple, that they arent ALL child abusers.

Thanks Gosselin8. Since he's not even up for reelection this year, kind of silly to suggest there is some kind of political motivation behind all this.
I don't see it as political at all. A lot of us either lived in the hurricane area or had friends, family or both directly impacted. When I see someone guiding people through in a manner I like and respect, I say so. It doesn't matter if he holds office or what. Various people have chimed in about his leadership over the past several days. He has been front and center. It's only natural this is discussed. Someone I can't remember posted about family members' perceptions in NJ. It was very interesting. And until now everyone has been respectful.
Oh by the way good ole Rep Murt IS up for reelection and expected to win by a landslide. He is running against a complete throw away candidate who is a musician and means well. Yea Murt! Now THAT is being political and I don't care if you don't like it!
Dwindle, keep doing that, it seems to work.
I'm still waiting for my essay on why Kate's tweet was not parental alienation. I answered their questions, I want mine answered too! Humph!
Discussing the ADMITTED womanizing and divorce of a California Governor isnt discussing politics either. It is discussing the public statements of someone well known whose job and career happen to be in politics.
Me saying the Mitt Romney's dentures whistle and Barack Obama has big ears isnt discussing politics either. And I get extra points for teasing about each equally. hehe

I share your indignation! I answered the question, and I got nuttin in reply!
There are things on film that arent subjective, like the stuff I mentioned. Some things sheeple say arent so bad, like laying a sick toddler on the linoleum floor in a seperate room, and some things that are just editing designed to make widdle Katie look bad. But her mashing the boys in the face rather than speak to them isnt subjective or editing. Grinding a toddler's shoulder till she winces isnt subjective and isnt editing. It's causing physical pain on your child, period, and the sheeple wont respond to that. It's not spanking, it's not instructing, it's just physically terrorizing little kids.
But it IS good to know there are some things about their Queen that embarrass them.
Dwindle dontcha know that what you seen was edited for TV?
Oh and Admin we just must be reading those tweets wrong. You know it is like the bible you can interpret it anyway you want.
There now we have answered those questions and the sheep don't need to come back anymore.
Personal life off topic alert! Scroll!
ADMIN! Just got the cutest text from our niece proudly sharing her BAR NUMBER! official today! This just feels so huge. I need a tissue... again!
Awww Dwindle that is so wonderful! Congrats to her on all her hard work:)

Wow, quite the accomplishment!
Dwindle that is great!
Tell her to memorize it. Clerks will ask for it a lot. Nothing is more embarrassing than a new attorney not knowing her bar number--tee hee!
By the way you hear about your bar early out there!
About this time I was having nightly nightmares about having to retake the bar. In CA we don't find out until a few days before Thanksgiving. The Bar is in JULY. That is a torturous waiting time.

Well, I DID say in my post that I am completely open to hearing sheeple claims that it was a computer generated Kate mashing computer generated children in the face. I would be interested in that claim, if that is what they would like to use for a defense. But in the meantime, she is seen on film mashing Collin's face near the refrigerator, and at the bus stop, Joel on the NYC bus, and grinding Alexis' shoulder till she cried out, during a morning show TV interview.
Plus she never did answer anyone's questions about why she is carrying a huge wooden spoon in her door pocket of her car. Oh wait - Milo answered that one; it's for mixing an emergency pitcher of lemonade. Really, Milo said that!
And Kate wasnt smashing her sons in the face - she was planting fairy dust on them. I made that one up.
I've always wondered, what if you were just at work and didn't like something someone else said to you so you just mashed their face in?
And yet people do this to children to teach them, what, exactly? Because it can't be to teach them socially acceptable behavior.
OT.... I'm so happy Tony Dovolani has a great partner this year on DWTS. He's paid his dues for so many years and it's great to see him get the chance to shine.
Ok folks there will be an election thread, after almost scrapping the idea.
BUT, I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the angle it will take. It will be fun and not about the general elections. It is set to post automatically early this morning PST time. Watch for it.
