Oops, that's not a turkey! We're always searching for reality worth watching to tell you about, and here's another. If you're looking for something light after a heavy Thanksgiving meal, try some sushi. Jiro Dreams of Sushi, that is. Jiro Dreams is a 2011 Japanese documentary (it has subtitles) about Michelin three-star sushi chef Jiro Ono, whose small, simple restaurant makes the best sushi in the world.
Ono has been working nearly his whole life. At age seven, his alcoholic father abandoned him, and at age nine, he started working in a sushi shop. He never stopped.
Ono's hard work and dedication is admirable, but his perfectionism is controversial among some. Once, one of his employees had to make 200 batches of egg sushi before Ono was satisfied. His sons, who are in their 50's, are still waiting to take over the restaurant. Ono admits he treats them harder than anyone else who worked for him. How far do you have to go to make a perfect plate, and can you go too far?
Discuss Thanksgiving, recipes, Black Friday, whatever suits your fancy, and Jiro, which is available for streaming or rent on Netflix, as well as Amazon.com
. Enjoy your holiday!

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 1379 Newer› Newest»Admin are there any judges in PA that might fit that bill? I am glad that there are judges out there that will do what is right for the children.
&&&
There's not really charges anywhere. Family law court is civil court. It's more just something a judge can use in deciding custody arrangements and how much credibility to give parents.
A psychologist can be very helpful in analyzing family dynamics, spotting the parental alienation, and helping a judge make custody decisions. My experience however is that this is a rather new concept, and it's taking awhile to get people educated on it as well as good at recognizing it when it's in front of them. The ones that do are sold on it though, as am I.
Taking a very extreme hypothetical, a Mom might come to court and tearfully say oh my goodness my daughter says my ex molested her, please, I must have custody. There may be many signs of parental alienation a judge who knows it might spot, therefore casting doubt on her accusations. A judge might actually give the father MORE custody if a mom pulls something like that. But in that example you can see what an important job they have in such serious matters trying to find the truth in all this. And sometimes the parental alienators say such serious things it certainly can be easier to just take the easy road and believe them in the interest of caution.
Ramar of the Jungle, Crusader Rabbit and Rags the Tiger, My Little Margie, Life of Riley, Topper...
...and the early teen years, 77 Sunset Strip, Hawaiian Eye, Surfside Six, Adventures in Paradise, Ben Casey, Dr. Kildare, Bonanza, One Step Beyond, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits.
Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end...
Sorry I didn't answer your original question.
There was that judge I think in Berks who spotted it in a father when he was putting a blog up basically blasting his wife. He saw it there and ordered him to take it down or he wouldn't see his kids.
Otherwise I really don't know anything about any of the judges in PA.
NJGal, I remember the Million Dollar Movie. Do you remember the Magic Garden with Paula and Carol? I so loved that show!
No I missed the latest shenanigans. What a mess. That poor kid.
One of Halle Berry's lawyers is a colleague of mine I've worked with several times, although I think she may have dropped her as I don't see her name popping up anywhere. I don't like Halle Berry's crap in all this but this lawyer does great work and has represented kids in family law court--something I desperately wish the Gosselins could get. I had hoped she might help bring her down to reality a bit maybe help her do what's best for her kid not herself.
Administrator, he is so cute. Love pug mugs. My first granddog is a pug, but now that the divorce is final, is he still my grandpug? I keep up with him on fb. :{
Lori - Say Yes to the Dress on TLC- is back tonight after her recovery from breast cancer.
Strong lady.
We used to watch Officer Joe Bolton in the afternoons as he introduced the cartoons and such. They used The Sidewalks of NY as his theme. We also used to watch The Merrry Mailman at lunch. Those were the days when you walked home from elementary school every day for lunch and then went back to school when you were done. It really was a simpler time.

Really? They've screwed up their youngest child's life by having him on a 'reality' show. Are you ok with kids being on reality tv?
I don't agree with them putting Jacob on T.V. so much at all. He is probably the one who will suffer the most from it being so young and that speaks to exactly how damaging it is to put little children on TV. The younger they are the worse it seems to be.
They definitely are NOT good people with good hearts then. They sold thier kids' lives for money. No?

That one is not ringing a bell for this Detroit gal... hmmm... The one I was thinking of was Captain Jolly. Such wonderful memories.
~~
Do INDEED remember Romper Room! "see me walk so straight and tall, I wont let my basket fall, eyes ahead and dont look down, keep that basket off the ground."
And for welllll over 50 years I have been walking around my house singing "go you chicken fat, go away" and here it was only a DETROIT thing! I remember all the words! "Push Ups! Every morning - 10 times! Not just now and then!"
I don't think anyone who has ever put their kids on TV is evil. Jon did it too and I don't believe him to be evil. Kate is so far and away beyond what the Roloffs or any reality show mother has ever done it's absurd to even compare it. I don't recall Jacob ever sitting on the potty, or watching as he threw up (we once saw Zach throw up, but Zach was an adult over 18 who was perfectly capable of consenting to such footage). It was a terrible mistake to keep him on TV for so long, no question. The question really becomes if even Jacob had his school issues and whatnot from filming and he never had his privacy invaded near as much as the Gosselins did, what will happen to them when they are his age?
White space suit? Are you thinking of Sargent Sacto?
Did Kate thank her fans for their tweets for thanksgiving? Amy Roloff
did on her FB page - she is very gracious 171
Amy Roloff has class and a clue, both of which kk is seriously
lacking, no matter how many kids she
Love em or hate em the Roloffs have a lot better social skills than Kate. 173
Kate and social skills are an oxymoron.
Hoping folks had a good Thanksgiving, whatever you did.
A cautionary tale about why I avoid "Black Friday."
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/tensions-black-friday-u-s-article-1.1206877
I go see shows at Ashland Coffee and Tea in Ashland Virginia often. Tonight we saw live George Dennehy, on twitter he is @ThatArmlessGuy. He is on YouTube. He was born without arms in Romania, and adopted as a baby by a Virginia couple. He plays guitar and piano with his feet! It is really amazing to watch him. He sings good too!
Think about a family that picked a child with such a handicap to be theirs. Think about the determination and discipline needed to learn how to do a skill a different way. Amazing!
Attn all: Troll alert, back with a new name, a really itchy pot stirring spoon, and apparently no child hood TV shows to add to the conversation. Or pugs. or even an opinion on Halle Berry's antics.

What troll is this? Did admin delete the posts? The only "new" person I see posting did so in response to a comment/comments about the Roloffs, and was in keeping with the conversation.

My sister liked that show. That and the Lone Ranger. I didn't watch them much, but I remember them fairly well.
Chicken Fat! Our 8th grade gym teacher had a

sometimes. We LOVED it, and none of us had ever heard it before. We begged her to play it more often but she wanted to keep it "special".
What a trip down memory lane tonight!
I remember those golden wheat dishes...lots of people had them. My mom had a similar pattern, also wheat, but in pink and turquoise with a turquoise rim. I have only one plate, and nobody I know remembers how they got them or what it's called. Anybody know?
Aaahhh, kids' shows! I LOVED Ding Dong School. Anybody remember Fun at One with Miss MaryEllen and Miss Eppie? And Wonderama with Sonny Fox. My dad always called him "Funny Sox", which would make me squeal, "Daaaadeee!". How about Diver Dan? It was part of another show, I forget which one, and it had a person in a diver's suit and a bunch of puppet fish under the sea. I remember the barracuda being really scary.
Sweet times!
Oh, yeah, one more: Winky Dink! You were able to buy a plastic sheet to put on the tv screen so you could use your crayons to draw the things Winky Dink did. My grandmother was afraid I would break the tv or get hurt, so she let me draw with crayons on her glass topped coffee table every day, and every day she would scrub it clean again.
Ahhh, a trip down TV memory lane, in no particular order. Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, Queen For A Day,The Millionaire,Dragnet, Sea Hunt, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Leave It To Beaver and The Honeymooners and who could forget Kooky on 77 Sunset Strip. Kooky, Kooky, lend me your comb!
Admin thank you for answering my question and for the explanation. Hopefully more will be trained to see the signs to prevent parental alienation. It is really scarey what some parents get away with.

I don't know if Romper Room hosts changed state to state but in Utah Miss Julie hosted RR. We also had a Captain Scotty and a fireman Frank. I remember I won a slinky from Romper Room.
By the way, in the picture of Shoka there is some kind of a bed or sleeping bag in the background. Did anyone else notice that. I think it may be his bed or he is at Jon's house and it is a sleeping bag, maybe for one of the kids. Also I think he was wearing the glasses because his fur is pushed in where the frame is. The hat is definitely photo shopped, or however you say it.
JaninNJ....Below in the deep there's adventure and danger that's where you'll find Diver Dan. The sights that he sees are surprising and stranger than ever you'll see on the land. When I saw you mention Diver Dan the theme just popped into my head. I also remember all the shows you mentioned.
Um.....is it normal for pugs to fart every four and a half minutes??
Admin,
that's not really normal - normal would be every two to three minutes!

It's creepy that haters fantasies r all about the kids being miserable. Says so much about THEM! @Kateplusmy8 via @SiobhanR111
Gosh, and I thought it was creepy that a fan tweeted today that she had a dream that she and her kids were at a sleep-over at Kate's house, and she pushed four king size beds together so they could all sleep in a big bed.
The fans very conveniently forget that Milo's tweets are creepy, particularly the one where she tweeted Kate and said she wished that she could be at Kate's house and have dinner ready for her, and the one where she asked Kate how a potential suitor should approach her.
Bulldogs, pugs and boxers are all farting machines especially after eating turkey! I'm often glad that we live in the SW because we can leave everything open to air the joint out if he's having a stinky day.
I think the sheeple are confusing fantasy with DIRE WARNINGS OF THE FUTURE. It's not the same thing.

Nothing to celebrate but only one woman made the escape to the shelter over Thanksgiving Day! Her hubby got overly drunk and .... well, it wasn't pretty. But she's safe now and her 2 young girls now have a chance to heal!!
Interestlingly enough, her husband destroyed the beautiful place settings she had carefully prepared and lobbed two of her china dishes at the wall. She was heartbroken but it was explained to her that material goods can always be replaced. She and her two children were much more important. Such is the mindset of an abused woman.
Here's hoping everyone here had an enjoyable day!

---------------------------------
I have seven of the small golden wheat juice glasses.
I had 8 for years and years, then recently hubby got one down from the highest shelf and broke it. GRRRR...
I had them for 50 years, yes, 50, and hubby decided to use one recently.
Why? He just wanted to use a small glass. GRRR...
I have small paper cups and small plastic cups, but he just felt like using one of my only antique glasses.
Anyway, I know where I got mine. My mother got them in boxes of soap. I don't recall the soap brand, but I think it was a laundry soap.
She gave them to me when I got married, and that was 50 years ago this month.
I love them.
They look brand new.
All seven of them. GRRR...
My mother's cousin, who lived in Ontario, sent me a whole bag full of those Nursery Rhyme figurines one year. She said they were in her tea box, but I had no idea what she was talking about. Now I do. I still have them on a shelf
in my home office.... Those are collector's items now? Wow. Thanks for the info!
Remembering TV shows...My Friend Flicka, The Jetson's, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Beat the Clock, Art Linkletter, What's My Line, Dark Shadows, That Girl, Patty Duke, My Three Sons, Father Knows Best, The Flintstones, Sing Along with Mitch...so many good memories.
Ahhh....memories.
I was born In the mid-60s so a lot of the shows posted about tonight were probably a little, tiny bit before my prime-time viewing years but....
Romper Room......LOVED! Sitting so quiet just to see if YOUR name was called!!
Friendly Giant.....ADORED the moving around of the tiny rocking chairs SOOO much! Finnegan! Oooooh......j'adore Finnegan!!
Friday nights were for Love Boat and Fantasy Island!! " ze plaaane, ze plaaane!"
Rushing home from school...at lunch AND at end of day for the BEST cartoon of ALL time.....the Flintstones!
Waking up early Sat mornings cuz ALL the cartoons were on ALL morning. nirvana!!
Archie comics, MAD Magazine, Bobbsy Twin novels, Bay City Rollers and Leif Garrett!
Oh...how about 'suntanning'. With the help of baby oil and those silver cardboard screens you held up, in front of your face to, you know, help the poor sun FRY you!!!! Then that makes me remember the ONLY smells of summer....Coppertona and Noxema!
Stop me NOW!!
Oooops....Mr Dressup!! The tickle trunk! Was that also Casey and Finnegan? Im thinking it was so who remembers the name of the Friendly Giant giraffe???
: /
Confusion sets in for me now.
Oh! Oh!! Can't forget the MIRACLE of the original Easy Bake Oven!
And LiteBrite! Pogo sticks! My first skateboard!!!
REAL birthday parties, Canada Fitness day badges at school...where almost every kid got Gold or higher because we were all actually FIT! REAL camping..cuz that's all most could afford back then..the average family. I think I know 1, count 'em, 1 family who went to Disney in grade school! Last but not least...how darn excited my brother and I were when our parents went out and we were babysat....Swanson TV dinner and Jiffy Pop popcorn time!!! Woo Hoo!!
Sorry....clearly I'm awake when I shouldn't yet be and just a little bored. : )
Anyone else receive an encyclopedia at the local grocery store? You shopped weekly and got the next letter of the alphabet for your collection.
I am sure there was a minimum amount you had to spend. My mother was able to get a set for us at home and also a set for our 3-room Catholic grade school.
Just jellus here - thought all you guys in the states were so lucky with kids programming - just had friendly giant (with rusty the rooster & Jerome the giraffe) days long before cable
Put up Xmas lites yesterday because it is darn cold out there - don't turn them on until Dec 1 though
Yes red rose figurines - so disappointed when you got a duplicate - if I recall correctly there was one that was almost impossible to get
How about those plastic submarines you got in cereal box and filled wth baking powder to power up underwater in the bathtub
Oh oh - made pioneer woman cinnamon rolls yesterday - oh oh oh my goodness
There's a company called Replacements, Inc. It can be found online. They carry almost every pattern of china. May be able to search and fine the name of teh pattern you have. Of course they sell and buy china, too.
Then there were all of the game shows. Beat the clock and what's my Line, Camouflage, I think. Then American Bandstand
Remember the first time I saw color tv. Our friend's parents must have thought I was in a trance. Know a story where older ladies watched Lawrence Welk each week from their homes. One had a color tv. They would stay on the phone and the one with the color tv would describe in detail the colors of the beautiful dresses.
You might also find a replacement glass on ebay. I've found some surprising things on there.
"I've Got a Secret", "Password", "Who Do You Trust" (My dad always complained when that show came on, because it should be "WHOM Do you Trust") LOL. I knew some people who appeared on "I've Got a Secret". Watching a family friend play in a world series game. "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea". The original "Outer Limits". "The Twilight Zone", until Mom barred me from watching it because I had a couple of nightmares.
Zoe, I loved "Dark Shadows". Used to rush home every afternoon to watch. I was so sad when Jonathan Frid died earlier this year. I met him about 12 years ago at a fund-raiser he did for the local library. He was very gracious and every inch a gentleman.

Good morning all! Do any of you have ME TV in your area? It's a channel that shows old and really old television shows. Some well known such as Laverne and Shirley, but others I have not seen in a long, long time such as Hazel, The Mother-In-Laws and others. Takes me back, WAY back. LOL.
Anyway, the only way Kate Gosselin will get "back in the news" is for Robert's book to be re-released. Kind of double-edged sword for Kate.
I need to take a deep breath.
I just watched the first part of The Dust Bowl. How sobering. How emotional. I need to absorb the serious content before watching the second half.
The remarkable 2 hours of history had been sitting and waiting on my DVR. Posts here had prepared me for some of the most wrenching stories. I wept when the brother described his sister being carried out of their home on a leaf from the dinner table.
Hubby woke up and joined me about half way through. He was riveted and forgot to request a channel change to his traditional morning news programs. (He did say that he will have to stop teasing me about my blog time if this is typical of what we discuss!)
I will be thinking of those brave people all day.
Sidney...try ebay, or the goodwill. I've had lots of luck at both.
Anybody remember the white and color striped towels that came in the Tide laundry boxes?
I finally looked at pic of Kate's table yesterday. Well, i could have swore that the plate mats looked like cardboard squares. It really does! I don't understand why that would be 'festival' at all. Brooke Burke kicked ass with her table. My god the entire room is beautiful! She went out of her way to make her guests feel welcomed. She posted a viedo of her table. I remember last year she said they were having 25 people over. Table was also beautifully decorated. She has great great taste. I loved her china.
I just feel Kate's style is umm too country and kinda depressing because of the very mute colors and seems to have alot of wood stuff (wood baskets, wood word decortations, wood furniture, you get the idea). Put extra effort to make that table e tra special! Paper cups? What in the world? They are not 2 anymore.

Amen on the stinky boxers. Her uh, flatulence can wake me out of a dead sleep, it's so bad I'm afraid it's a potty accident.
On Halle Berry, wow she should be the poster mother for child alienator.
I noticed the parallels between she and Kate awhile ago. Gabriel told people that Halle told him he was nothing but a sperm donor, his part was done now he needed to go away. This is such a narcissist/alienator statement. I remember reading that Halle's friends saw this coming when Halle started talking about having a baby. They begged her to just go to a sperm bank, because Halle had no intentions of staying with Gabriel. She thought he was an idiot, but a beautiful idiot. Like Kate, she was only interested in making a physically beautiful child. But in true narcissist-armed-with-money style, it was more important to Halle do exactly what she wanted, then later down the road use her wealth and the legal system to get her way. Narcissists need and crave to have that power and to evade laws they don't feel should apply to them. The judge in Halle's case knew exactly what she was doing. It's a shame the stodgy old neanderthal judges we have here in PA aren't as enlightened. It's also a shame that Gabriel was clearly baited and fell for it.
RIP Larry Hagman. One of my favorite actors
I love ME TV and I am enjoying the reminiscing here about the things from years past. My grandma got the wheat pattern stuff. We got the towels in detergent and some sort of bowls in Quaker oats I think?. We collected a whole set of glasses and a pitcher from the Texaco station for getting a full tank of gas.
I remember watching the Beatles when they were on Ed Sullivan the first time and going crazy and I have a small Topo Gigio doll yet too.
I have seen talk that Gabriel was setup by Halle and her fiance. That wouldn't surprise me in the least. It seems she will do anything to remove him from her daughter's life. If I were a judge, I'd give Gabriel full custody of the child.
So sad about Larry Hagman. The anticipation of the "Who Shot J.R." epiode.
The giraffe on Friendly Giant was Jerome, and the rooster was Rusty :) I had to watch till the end when the cow jumped over the moon...it always seem to get stuck part way!
Anyone from Canada remember The Forest Rangers, Chez Helene, The Magic Boomerang and Razzle Dazzle? We only had a couple of channels but some good children's television.
It is sad about Larry Hagman. He was 81, but you got the feeling he would live forever. He was so deliciously evil as JR. Quite a contrast from Tony Nelson. And he managed to stay married to the same woman for over 50 years. Not ALL Hollywood marriages end quickly.
Do any of you remember 'where you were' when the Who Shot J.R. episode aired? I sure do. Loved that show!

%%%%
Agree, agree, agree.
If I were Gabriel I just wouldn't interact with her period. She's crazy and she will do anything to sabotage him. He needs to find someone neutral to pick up his kid or exchange her at a police station with witnesses.
I guess I'll spill the beans...Halle Berry has been through my court. Although I don't know much more than TMZ does lol. At one point her kid had an attorney I also know, who was very good.
Gabriel told people that Halle told him he was nothing but a sperm donor, his part was done now he needed to go away.
&&&
Wow. That's exactly what Diane Downs said! I fear this is going to implode someday. Has Halle Berry been diagnosed officially? There are about a million and a half reports out there that make her sound seriously bipolar and sociopathic. She is a brilliant actress with a very disturbed mind.
And yes none of the judges on this train wreck are falling for her crap and I love it. Go family law judges who believe in parental alienation!
Another note about Kate. If she were one of us who doesn't really do tables or make a fuss cause it's just not our thing, okay fine. But then don't take a photo of it. Clearly by taking a photo she thought she had put together something special. And that's just a head scratcher right there.
Dmasy I didn't realize you hadn't watched yet. Please keep posting your impressions.
Part One will move you. Part Two will haunt you.
Admin - in your opinion, how would the latest incident with Gabriel affect Halle's custody arrangement if at all? Apparently there is a restraining order in place and Gabriel can't come within 100 feet of Halle, her fiance or the child.
Parental alienation can cause so much psychological damage across the board. I really wish that family courts were better equipped to deal with the issue.
Admin - in your opinion, how would the latest incident with Gabriel affect Halle's custody arrangement if at all? Apparently there is a restraining order in place and Gabriel can't come within 100 feet of Halle, her fiance or the child.
&&&
A Restraining Order usually has a boxed checked that says something like "except for court ordered visitation." I'm sure he's still allowed to visit his kid he just can't be around otherwise. So it shouldn't affect custody at all.
Honestly it's a good idea....the guy needs to stay AWAY from her. I don't feel total sympathy for him. He knows she's crazy, but apparently is still putting himself in situations where she implodes.
What does a parent who doesn't have a ton of money do in these situations? Family lawyers, like every other lawyer - cost money. It has to be heartbreaking to have your child alienated from you and not have the money to fight back in court about it. Can someone represent themselves? Ugh. Just a total nightmare thinking about what people have to do.
On the other hand I wish adults would put aside their pettiness and make it about the children first in all situations. There are plenty of people that are able to work together despite not loving each other for the best interest of the kids.
Just taking a quick look on google - Halle Berry hasn't had too much written about her recently that wasn't in some way related to this custody issue. This has to have affected employment opportunities as it's looking like her personal life is not in control.
Yes, yes Razzle dazzle, chez Helene - my first words in french
Trouble with Tracey anyone?
On Kate's pix site there is a photo of some organic product - can anyone read the expiry date??
Yes you can represent yourself and yes it's a nightmare dealing with a parental alienator whether you are rich, poor or somewhere mediocre.
Sometimes cases are easier when people are just representing themselves.
My pug doesnt have a flatulence problem (yet) but boy oh boy does she belch- and they are stinky!! I dont know how such a little dog can produce such great, big, rumbly....NOXIOUS burps- (where do they come from???) but she does.
Admin made me laugh-Kate takes those pics and tweets them as if her displays are something special- that was funny!! Maybe she does it to give her tweeties something- you know, like scraps to the dogs- and she doesnt actually believe she did something great? More like "I have to do something for my fans- lets see....throw this on the table and voila!! Thanksgiving feast!" And if she didnt have her tweeties, she wouldnt do anything at all- there would be no reason to. That's just a guess. Cuz her table was sad.

________________________________________
I had the same thought. Halle's last few movies have been bombs. She may be following the Kate Gosselin road to obscurity with her behavior.
Halle has been shut down by EVERY judge in her quest to shut out the father of her child. This latest stunt is so obvious. I hope the judges in CA are as smart as they seem and see through it.
Topo Gigio was a little mouse puppet on the Ed Sullivan Show. He was so cute and always said. "ohh Eddie Keess (kiss) me good nite". He was my favorite part of that show. (besides the Beatles.)
here's alittle video http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&ved=0CEoQtwIwAw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D7PAj2hWD_Pg&ei=r_CwUNOKMuOO2wWD6oDQDA&usg=AFQjCNGjjWCIPzVLRs7FfaIUask0uJ4l_A&cad=rja
Momentum in family law court is a fascinating thing. The bandwagon in family law court is a fascinating thing. Somewhere along the way a judge decided, rightly so, Halle Berry is a parental alienating psycho, and ever since then every judge down the line has towed the party line. It is good to see judges getting it right and standing up for fathers who are being alienated, and yet I think how very different this could be, heck she could even be in France by now, if she got a judge like the one Kate is in front of.
The media sometimes only has half the story, but I do know that one of her ploys to cut her children's father off was not only completely shut down by a judge I've been in front of, but also kicked out of his courtroom with a full dismissal. Parental alienating witch. Yea for progressive CA judges!
The following is from my 66 year old friend, who was supposed to come for Thanksgiving dinner, but had to work at Walmart all day stocking shelves and then worked all day Black Friday too. He was originally hired as a part time greeter.
"And another Black Friday is almost history now. Just about the time my faith in humanity has been restored another Black Friday rolls around. I'm not sure I have the words to describe last night when the things went on sale at Walmart. Hours before the things went on sale the people started acting like Steelers Fans after the Browns have given them a good whoopin'. One poor lady came up to me to complain that she had just got slapped in the face over towels. TOWELS for crying out loud! Then I had to tell the customers that we had run out of 40" TVs. That went over
like a fart in an iron lung. Then I was directed to stop customers from filling up their carts with things from my department before those things went on sale. I made them put everything back and had to stand guard. Then about ten minutes before the sale was to start the people really went nuts and started grabbing stuff, shoving us out of the way. I thought last year was bad, but this year was just incredible. It was literally a human feeding frenzy. In a quiet moment afterwards I thought about God looking down from Heaven on the spectacle being played out at not only thousands of Walmart stores, but all the other retailers as well, and I wondered what He thinks about it all. I'm sure my friend Rxxxx in India cannot even fathom such rampant greed being so openly displayed. And I thought how much God must really love us to be so patient with us and how saddened he must be. There we are giving thanks to Him for His immeasurable blessings and then just a few hours later trampling our neighbors so we can get a deal on a flat screen TV! It makes me wonder why He is holding off on His Second Coming and Judgment Day. For surely, as it was in the days of Noah, so it is today."
Paper Plates Forever! Yay! said... 73 and Lilly:
On Chez Helene the mouse was Suzie la Souris. Helene spoke only French, a teen girl, Louise, spoke Eng and French and Suzie just English IIRC? Cute show, 15 minutes, long enough for a child. I also remember Trouble with Tracey!
~~~Don't keep up with Halle Berry although I know her films....why is she crazy? I missed it all!
Dwindle:
That's a sad story and I totally believe that was what happened in thousands of stores across the nation. My DD's store was a mixture of browsers, complainers and greedy shoppers, all annoyed about the return policy etc, no. of fitting rooms, lack of merchandise in their size..no hitting, but one lost child whose mom got caught up in her shopping...terrible display of behavior. And now everyone preparing for Xmas. Get your values in order, people!
Dwindle,
Wow, quite the experience for your friend. My sis-in-law also works at Wal-Mart but she's just like "meh, just another day, but busier. What can you do?" I don't partake in Black Friday- I hate crowds, and I avoid Wal-Mart on paydays and holidays, LOL!!
I sure would have love to read a CC post from Kate about Black Friday sales. How does she get the best deals on that day? Fight the crowds? Demand special treatment cuz she has 8 kids? Ask for the backdoor? C'mon Kate, tell us how you do it- oh I know- your tweeties fight the crowds and then mail you the grifts- I mean gifts. ;)
Pugs and other brachycephalic (flat faced) dogs (and cats, for that matter) are gassy because they tend to swallow a lot of air. The flatter the face, the harder it is for them to breathe through their nose. Unfortunately, the Fancy, and the breeders, are responsible, at least in part. At some point along the line, flatter faces started winning more in the show ring, so the breeders kept on breeding more and more extreme faces. If you saw a picture of one of the original Persian cats, you'd never realize it was a Persian. Sorry, this is an ongoing battle in my breed, with the traditionalists (including me) fighting the more extreme breeders. I'll climb down off my soap box now and make my way quietly to the far corner.
Oh, I remember Chez Helene, it was also my introduction to French. Today, I'm fully bilingual. Does anyone remember Uncle Chichemous and his friend Freddy? Also, when I got home from school I'd look at the Mickey Mouse Club. Sunday nights the Ed Sullivan Show and right after it was Bonanza. Oh, and the Red Skeleton Show, and on Saturday afternoons it was Saturday Date. What good memories, life was not as complicated.
Oh, I LOVED Red Skelton. When his show was on Tuesday nights, I was allowed to stay up a half hour past my usual bedtime to watch it. As an adult, I was able to see him perform in person several times. Large audiences, from gray-haired matrons and gentlemen to small children, and all in stitches. NEVER a dirty word, although there were some double entendres.
I read somewhere that despite Halle's beauty and talent she is a very emotionally needy woman who has to be reassured constantly that she is indeed THE beautiful and talented Halle Berry. Her true colors came out when she was shown screaming like a banshee and cursing at the pap that was filming her taking her child to school. She came across as a vicious, demented shrew, nothing of the demure Halle that she presents as her "brand." It was wrong for the pap to do that, but she played right into their hands giving them exactly what they wanted, which says to me that she is not very intelligent, nor stable. Also in evidence of her lack of wisdom is the fact that she went for beauty, instead of brains when selecting a gene pool for her child. In comparison it has been said that MJ considered only those with a very high IQ. As it turns out, P*ris, in particular, is absolutely stunning, and very insightful beyond her years (I follow her on Twitter, ever since she went public with the fact that her grandmother had been spirited away, and it was the right thing to do as she was immediately brought back when the dirty little secret was exposed). I always wondered why that doctor sought at that time a very young Pr*nce out (instead of security), but when they were seen unveiled for the first time he came across as very self-assured and mature for his age.
On Tori and Dean, I have seen her approach paps outside their gate during school time suggesting they may be inclined to follow. She just stopped and said hey guys we talked about this - don't follow me to school, and we will make it up to you when the time is right (or to that effect). They said OK, Tori, sorry. Also they were parked once right in front visible from the house and Dean went out and said, hey guys, I am going to need for you to park at the bottom of the hill so the kids can't see you. They immediately cranked up and rolled to the bottom of the hill and Dean waved at them and said thanks. Kill them with kindness my mother used to say.
I miss that show. It amazes me that she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and raised by a bevy of nannies with a mother who openly competed with her for her father's affections, yet works her fingers to the bone (pregnant 9/10ths of the time) to provide for her family. Instead of whining about her disinheritance she just rolled her sleeves up and went to work. She found herself to be a good author, and basically, anything else in her mind set. If she comes up with an idea you can be sure that it will come to pass. It will be done well and not centered around her children (not even the reality show); they appear, but are not the focus. From the show she comes across as a hands on working mom who has a great relationship with her kids. The kids are very well spoken and well behaved. I watched all the shows and never once was she shown being disrespectful or dismissive to her children. She has her little quirks but all in all there are many things about her that I respect.

have you seen this documentery, very interesting!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedigree_Dogs_Exposed
Readerlady- Dark Shadows originated right here in Hamilton, Ontario, at CHCH TV. I live a few blocks from Frid Street, named after Jonathan's family, a well known family in Hamilton. We were so proud when the show went continent-wide.
Martin Short and Eugene Levy are also from The Hammer. I knew Marty when he was still at McMaster University.I remember his excitement when he got his first big part (I think it was in Godspell)that started him on his amazing career.
Ingrid - didn't Topo gigo also say 'edddiiee, I want a drink of water' - I remember calling that down to my dad after going to bed
And red skeleton - the seagulls names???
And classic carol Burnett - loved how they would try and crack each other up - oh for the good old days of gut wrenching laughter
Bluebird - omg - Saturday date ...often went to cjoh studio to dance it up lol - we're showing our age
IDModo -- I didn't know that DS originated in Canada! I just always assumed that it was filmed in NYC. I've been to Hamilton a couple of times. Lovely city. I was there for cat shows, so didn't get to see as much of it as I would have liked, but it was very nice and the people were great.
Dutch Tulip -- Is that the video made at the British Dog show? If so, I've seen it, but not recently. MOST breeders are very responsible and make their breeding choices for health first and only then consider show characteristics, but there are always a few who don't. Most of us do very thorough health screenings before we even consider a breeding and, with more and more DNA tests being developed to detect problems, it's easier to do. Sometimes it's a crapshoot, because there are certain problems that don't show up until later in life and by that time, an animal has been used in breeding. When it's a recessive genetic trait, you can never be certain it's been eliminated.
Lilly -- Gertrude and Heathcliff.
The first fan letter I ever wrote was to Red Skelton, after I heard his version of the Pledge of Allegiance. I received a nice signed note, a poster of the Pledge, and a recording of it also. I was thrilled.
I have some DVDs of the Carol Burnett Show, and I go back and watch them sometimes. I get a kick out of the way Harvey and Tim Conway used to try to break each other up. Or Tim Conway and anyone, for that matter (BTW -- Tim Conway is a Buckeye. From Chagrin Falls).
Remember Sherry Lewis and Lambchop? And what was the horse's name?
readerlady said... 89
Same here in Holland, there are some typical dutch breeds, small population so some breeders go out of the gene pool and want to cross breed some other ( similar looks etc.} dogs to get the gene pool a little bigger but it's controversial.
Make that Shari Lewis. I remember the dog was Hush Puppy, but I'm drawing a blank on the horse. It was a pun of some kind, like the other 2 names. I used to have a stuffed Lambchop. She went to college with me.
I've been away for a day or so, and am just catching up. Loved reading about old TV shows-brought back many good memories.
readerlady said... 92
If I remember correctly, the horse's name on Shari Lewis was Charley Horse.
LBelle, we must be around the same age. While I grew up an USAF brat and around the world/US, I now live in Canada and love it here. My father met my mother on a USAF base in Canada back in the day and he always liked it, so, after he retired we moved North to the Toronto area. I am a true dual citizen born on a USAF base in Canada and love both countries, with tons of relatives scattered in both.
So except for the exclusively Canadian shows, everything else you said speaks to me. I wanted to work on the Love Boat and my sister to live on Fantasy Island! I loved the Bobbsey Twin books, oh and Judy Blume - Are You There God, It's Me Margaret! Does anyone remember the Scholastic (I think that's what it was) book programs, where you ordered books and they delivered to your school? I can remember my sister and I agonizing over our selections to fit the budget we were given, what could wait, what couldn't!
The US had a similar fitness program and I still have the badges! Our Saturday mornings were cartoons early, then bowling league (might have been a AF base thing, but every base we lived on it seemed the standard) and the best freaking hot dogs for lunch from the steamer, the buns were soooo soft & warm!
One other memory that stands out and funnily enough my mother and I were talking about it last night, were all the Snoopy holiday 'toons. We watched together as a family and I specifically remember Wrapples, a caramel sheet you put over an apple to make a 'caramel' apple. LOL far from perfect, but was a special treat we had during those fall / winter specials.
Smoochie: I adored the Scholastic Book Club! I couldn't wait to get the flyer and pick a few books- my mother rarely said no to books! I did read Are You There, plus do these ring a bell? Best Friend, Freckled & Fourteen, Snowbound in Hidden Valley, the Ginnie & Geneva series, Just Plain Maggie, Mom, the Wolfman & Me?
This facebook post from Amazon kind of made me laugh: "Amazon.com
Today’s our last day of Black Friday Deals Week, but don’t fret—Cyber Monday Deals Week starts tomorrow."
Umm, Amazon? I'm not "fretting." I've gotten great deals on your site year round.
Old shows? Does anyone remember Friday night scary shows in the '70s? First The Night Stalker with Gavin McLeod, and then Creature Feature with Vincent Price. My sisters and I would bring pillows and blankets into the living room and eat popcorn and watch. When the mummy or vampire or whatever would attack, we'd pull our blankets over our heads and say, "Tell me when it's over!" The one brave sister who would still be watching would tell us when it was okay to watch again, but always would give us the okay before the monster attack was over, and we'd end up seeing it anyway.
The greatest thrill of my childhood was when, during dinner on a family trip to CA, I spotted Vincent Price himself at the restaurant. He noticed my sisters and me staring, and later walked over and said hello to us. My mother said we were on vacation, and he said, "That's a long trip. I hope you're being good girls and you thank your parents for bringing you here." We couldn't speak, just sat there nodding at him like a bunch of bobble-head dolls. This was back in the days when people used to dress up for a plane trip, and dress for dinner. Oh, the good old days.
I'm getting so nostalgic for all the old shows everyone is mentioning. What a trip down memory lane!
Layla: I really was a fan of Vincent Price and actually thought of using Vincent as my son's name! What a treat to meet him and find him to be gracious and kind. Yes, the good old days, when people were civil and treated people and occasions with respect.
Layla said... 97
I remember the "Night Stalker" series, but wasn't it Darren McGavin who starred in it?
I also remember "Creature Feature" with Vincent Price.
One of my all-time favorite shows was the old "The Twilight Zone" with Rod Serling.
Then, of course, there was "The Outer Limits".
Layla - Fri nite - shock theatre - i used to hide behind my dad lying on the couch and ducking for the scary parts
Smoochie - sat morning bowling 5 pin at local alley - an every kid activity
The book club - loved, loved loved it

And is real name is Tom, not Tim. The USO where I volunteer is in Chagrin Falls.
After I moved from Detroit at age 14, I went to the Cleveland area and attended the same High School that Halle Berry would later attend. She has a terrible reputation in this area. She was an angry, self entitled girl even in HS, she was angry with white students because she was 1/2 black and she was angry with black students because she was 1/2 white. I cannot imagine what she went through as a mixed race girl in a school system that was 50/50 at the time, HS is hard enough on anyone; but apparently she carried quite a chip on her shoulder. It's not hard to assume that whatever troubles her now started in childhood.
KIAT -- Charley Horse! Thank you!
Vincent Price -- What a thoroughly nice man he was. When I was in college he came to our campus with his one man show, "An Evening With Vincent Price". I was a member in good standing of the Masquers, our campus theater club, and he met with us and had a Q&A session the afternoon of the show. We were still going strong at dinner time and he came upstairs (the meeting was in the Campus Center) and ate with us. Here he was, a nationally recognized gourmet cook, and eating dinner in our cafeteria! Couldn't believe it. We discovered a common ancestor, and I got a little note from him after he returned home, adressed "Dear Cousin". Coincidentally, my oldest cousin on that side of the family, moved to California in the early 70's to work for Hughes Aircraft (He is an aerospace engineer). One Sunday morning he was coming out the door of the church he attended, and there was Vincent Price at the bottom of the church steps. My cousin introduced himself to him and told him about the family connection. Of course, Mr. Price didn't remember meeting me, but still it was quite a coincidence. My cousin said he was very gracious and nice there, too, and everyone liked him. He had a wicked sense of humor.
Dwindle -- I didn't know Tim Conway's real name was Tom. Must have been another Equity or SAG member named Tom Conway, LOL. I always loved the "old man" skits he did. And the Hitler sketch with Lyle Wagner! Hilarious!
Lilly, I may have danced with you on Saturday date. I also remember Friday night's Shock Theatre, with the big hand coming through the chocolate cake (at least that's what I think it was). I always fell asleep before it was over and would wake up in the middle of the night with nightmares. My Mom would say that's it, no more scary movies for you. But of course, Friday would roll around and all of us kids were once again curled up on the sofa to look at it.
Another oldie, I Love Lucie and also Gumbo, the little plastic man, and his horse (can't remember his name) and Hercules.
Another note about Kate. If she were one of us who doesn't really do tables or make a fuss cause it's just not our thing, okay fine. But then don't take a photo of it. Clearly by taking a photo she thought she had put together something special. And that's just a head scratcher right there.
----------------------
Bingo. Exactly. If you want to have Thanksgiving dinner and eat tv dinners in a garage, fine, it's what makes it YOUR Thanksgiving and not everyone celebrates the same way.
But if you have a table that looks like the one she set, with three pumpkins, some candles and placemats and paper cups, and especially after you have set yourself up like a domestic diva, a Susie Homemaker, you don't post a photo of it. Maybe she thinks it really was something special. She did the same thing with that pathetic Christmas tree last year.
Remember....Make Room for Daddy, Flipper, That Girl (I so wanted to be Marlo Thomas), Annie Oakley.
One of the great ironies about Kate is she is actually just as mediocre as the rest of us, as hard as she tries to be part of the 1%.

Readerlady- I looked up Dark Shadows on Wikipedia and it doesn't mention the Hamilton connection, although I am sure the first episodes were filmed here. I will do more research on the subject and get back to you.Hamiltonians know this to be true.
Dutch Tulip- my dog Nouschi is part Keeshond ,the National Dog of Holland,and part Siberian Husky. It's a great mix. She also has some beagle in there, but her personality is mainly Keeshond/Husky. She has the typical Keeshond grin where all her teeth show.
Bluebird- It was GUMBY, and his horse was POKEY.I'm sure of this because my daughter used to sneak them into the Christmas creche when she was little, right in front of the Wise Men.

And she has a bodyguard that leads her to and fro with azz kissing twitter fans.
My mom had a similar pattern, also wheat, but in pink and turquoise
with a turquoise rim. I have only one plate, and nobody I know

JaninNJ I have several of those plates! I remember once upon a time
we had matching cups and saucers. No idea where they came from.
Wonder if they were from one of the NJ chain supermarkets (Grand

I remember Diver Dan and the scary barracuda, Sonny Fox (did he do the
professor or was that Sandy Becker?)
Winky Dink! You were able to buy a plastic sheet to put on the tv

Audible Click and Lilly, thanks, yes Gumby and Pokey.
We all have such precious memories from our childhoods, it makes me wonder what the G8 will hold precious when they are older. Even with the logos of Love, Laugh and Live in Kate's house, it's far from what we were shown on TV. Rarely did we see the children laugh out loud, or Kate cuddling up to them in front of a good movie. Sorry to say but I pity those children.
We used to watch One Step Beyond on Saturday nights. There was one episode where a woman went back in time in a library that scared the crap out of us. I don't remember if we saw the original series (1959-1961) because we were a bit older when watching it as I recall. It did go into syndication which is what I think I'm remembering. That episode stands out for my sisters also.
Jerome and Rusty!!! Thanks Buttercup! xo
Smoochie....94:
Oh YES....I just loved Judy Blume! Had forgotten about those. The Scholastic book orders were truly my favourite times at school too! My little GS, who just turned 3 and attends a Montessori school just got his very first Scholastic Oder form!! I was so flipping excited! We had a great time perusing them, choosing and getting the order ready.
Peanut cartoon specials were the BEST!!! Remember when we actually could only watch something like that AT holiday time? No DVDs, VHS, 100's of tv channels on 24 hours a day. You lived by the TV Guide!
Then you go and blow my mind about THOSE hot dogs!!! OMG....they were SOOO delicious! I would always get them at the arena, after figure skating...with an icy Coke in a paper cup! *sigh*. Those were the days!
Brady Bunch, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, the Jeffersons, Little House on the Prairie, Walt Disney on Sunday nights, Good Times....Scooby Doo, Jetsons, Fat Albert and, last but certainly not lease....the Bugs Bunny Road Runner Hour!!
Well...I'm off to settle in and watch Riding in cars with Boys!! Yay! Love it!
I think it will be confusing for the G kids. They will have their 'fake' memories as drilled into them by watching the show over and over. They may be not sure what actually happened.There are memories of the Mommy monster, the trips, filming, the many people now gone from their lives (family & crew), life with Jon, life with Kate, school days and not telling 'secrets' such as abuse, home-life, Kendra, probably much more..being HOMs will also cause a difference in their 'collective' memories.One may contradict what another recalls. The twins may not remember much other than watching and entertaining/ protecting the tups. Very sad. I didn't articulate this well but I'm sure you know what I mean.

I know exactly what you mean. My sister wasn't a twin, but she is 15 months younger. Like the twins, we were ''parentifyied'' (sp?) We have very few childhood memories that don't include abusive episodes or taking care of/protecting our younger siblings, and all the ''household chores'' we were required to do. To this day, both my sister and I LOATHE cleaning the house!

And a 100% narcissist. What she needs is anger management counselling and someone to dismantle that pedestal she stands on. Oh and the medical community should hold her in high esteem too for curing herself of Type 1 diabetes (#snark). She claims she did it through diet and exercise. That's how you cure Type 2 Halle, but you go ahead and keep telling the story YOUR way. It sounds so much better if you tell people you've cured yourself of an incurable disease.
She was a whiney brat on Regis and Kathy Lee when she went after Howie Mandel for making a joke about her hit and run. He apologized but it wasn't good enough for her. She wouldn't let it go. waaa waaaa. Stick a sock in it.
Did someone mention Razzle Dazzle? I loved Howard the Turtle. He was hilarious.

Does anyone remember Nightmare Theatre on Friday nights? Some ghoul would lift the lid off his coffin and sit up and talk about what movie was playing that night. I watched that religiously every Friday night when I was 12 and turned out all the lights and sat there eating candy by myself. Ah, the good ol' days...
Now here's something interesting. Wikipedia says Halle Berry's parents divorced when she was four and she has been estranged from her father since childhood. You have to wonder what role her daddy issues played in her just wanting someone to father her child, not actually BE a father. Sad someone with her own daddy issues would work so actively to prevent her child from having something positive with her father.
Halle Berry should just go away and work on her mental health issues. What's sad is that if she doesn't get herself straightened out she is a great talent that will be lost. Whereas with Kate, she should just go away and won't be missed, it's no big loss.
In the Pacific Northwest the great local show was JP Patches. He was a clown that lived at the city dump. His sidekick was a burley man named "Gertrude" that dressed up as a woman! They both did appearances up until recently but the actor Chris Wedes died after a long battle with cancer (I think he was in his early 80's).
We also had a great late night locally produced (Seattle) sketch comedy program called Almost Live. Bill Nye the Science guy got his start on it along with radio guy Pat Cashman who does Taco Time commercials now.
Growing up we had 3 TV channels and maybe PBS if you shook (the rain off) and turned the antennae! We used to close the window with the lead in it to get the reception just right. My brother and I always fought over Monday nights-he wanted to watch Monday Night Football and I wanted to watch Little House on the Prarie and when I got a little older M*A*S*H.
There was also a late night radio program that we used to listen to on Sunday nights driving home from visiting my Grandma. It was only about an hour drive but I remember lying down in the back seat and being scared by the mystery but waiting to find out what happened!
I had to laugh when she told that paparazzo to get himself an honourable job like she has. LOL! Sounded like something Kate would say.
Kate is a Twit (100),
I think you're right about The Night Stalker being Darren Mc Gavin. Such a long time ago.
I love hearing that others met Vincent Price, too, and found him to be kind and gracious. I wish I'd had the nerve to actually talk to him, but I was too star-struck. I wonder if there's still celebs out there who would not only take the time to talk to a bunch of little girls, but also encourage them to show respect for their parents. He was one of a kind.
One show I remember watching on Saturdays was The Banana Bunch. A bunch of characters in big, furry costumes who drove around in a car shaped like a banana. Did anyone else watch that one? I seem to recall it being on at about the same time that The Monkees with Davy Jones was on the air.
Some of her instability may be related to Type 1 diabetes. Family member of mine really struggles with moods and feeling stable when their sugar is out of wack. There is nothing wrong with them mentally. They literally can sound like a drunk when their sugar is low. It's all over the internet similar stories from families of diabetics. It's no excuse but it's one explanation.
Admin I don't think HB has type 1. I think it's either type 2 or hyperglycemia. Anyone with Type 1 needs insulin. She said she weaned herself off. I dont think so.
But I agree... when those blood sugars go up, look out, the temper flares, at least around here.
I have to say, it's so nice that people here can enjoy talking about other aspects of their lives that don't include Kate. Her fans claim everyone is obsessed, but of course they come here and complain when the topic veers away from Kate. I suspect that their drive-bys will become more and more frequent now that Kate has disappeared from the media. No stories, no talk shows, no gossip, no books, no show, nothing. Lately it's as if she doesn't exist, and I dare say that she may, finally, be officially over. She'll do something outrageous from time to time, just to see her name in print again, but otherwise I predict that she will be ignored.
Meanwhile, everyone here can enjoy chatting about books, movies, recipes, childhood memories...it's a true community. This blog has come a long way.
Many years ago my brother had a layover. The airline let him stay in the executive lounge or whatever it's called now. Redd Skelton was there and brother said he was so friendly and genuine. We loved watching him on tv. Secretly wanted that gentle soul to be my Daddy.
Auntie Ann that's where she's crazy again. She has Type 1, which you can't cure, but she says she has.
Actually if she's off insulin not only does that explain her wild moods, but also, she's killing herself.
carolina peach,
That's a sweet story about Redd Skelton, I always wanted Danny Thomas to be my dad!

The world lost a great actor yesterday-
Larry Hagman.
I used to love him on "I Dream of Jeannie" & "Dallas".
He will be missed.
Rest in peace, Larry.
Did anyone see Cesar Milan (dog whisperer) on one of the magazine type shows. He is making about a comeback show after having attempted to take his own life. He went into a deep depression when his beloved dog, Daddy, died and then in that same time frame his wife of 17 years blind-sided him with a divorce. He still looked pale and very sad but he has the show coming up, I think about rescue. It is not going to be the dog whisperer. I had not long ago wondered aloud what had happened to him and that I missed the show. He was so good with the dogs and Daddy was an integral part of that show. I felt very sad for him. He did not look well but maybe the show will help to get back up again. You just never know what can happen in a day.
Our local PBS station is aring Ed Sullivan's Top Performers 1966-69. sigh...those were the days! Yes, I remember watching the Beatles first apprearance. A friend even had panty hose with the Beatles' faces on them. Talk about envious!
Bearswife, Jackie Gleason used to frighten me because he yelled no much. Still can't watch him if a really old clip happens to come on.
Is it my computer? Sometimes when I refesh it comes right back to the next post. Other times it goes all the way back to the home page and I have to start over and find the most recent posts.
Am I 'not holding my mouth right'?
also loved the nostalgia :)
Took a peek at Farm to Table to check on the silverware/tablesetting, lol. Well, I forgot this, but Kate gave the tups PLASTIC forks, no one had a knife, and the prison trays were used along with paper bowls for dessert. Restaurant lidded cups with straws. Chicken cacciatore -Kate raved about and its organic ingredients, but she ate her salad- shoveled it in, leaning over plate, elbows on table. Yup. That's what I thought.
What?? Cesar Millan tried to kill himself? Oh no- he's a good man regardless of his critics. I know Daddy was special to him but his other dogs need him let alone his two boys. I wish him all the best.

Did anyone see Cesar Milan (dog whisperer) on one of the magazine type shows. He is making about a comeback show after having attempted to take his own life. He went into a deep depression when his beloved dog, Daddy, died and then in that same time frame his wife of 17 years blind-sided him with a divorce.
__________________________
I'm sorry to hear about Cesar's troubles. I was so sad when his dog, Daddy, died.
Maybe Kate could help him. Just last night she tweeted:

@Mare634 really??? Every moment of life sure can be fun... If you have the right attitude and look for fun
Yes, that's right, "every moment of life can be fun"...every flippin moment.
So just remember the next time something devastating happens to you or family, look for the FUN aspect, just think FUN FUN FUN. Wish I'd remembered to see all the FUN I could have been having when I frantically drove my beloved doxie 90 miles to the only emergency clinic open at 2:30 in the morning where she died. I'm sorry I missed the FUN in that experience.
Kate could have helped all the homeless Sandy victims if she'd just been able to get to them to tell them how much FUN they could be having. I hear many of their abandoned homes were looted over Thanksgiving. Hope the victims are having FUN thinking about that.
Admin- I found where she said she had Type I but she's classified as Type 2.
Yeah, I know. ????
You can't go from Type 1 to Type 2, but you can go from Type 2 to Type 1. Unless you're Halle Berry I guess. She's misleading people when she says that. That's why I think she's just saying she has Type 1 and she cured it to make herself sound like she's some kind of miracle worker. If she was Type 1 and she's not taking insulin, you're right, she's killing herself. I just doubt she has it.

Obviously, she has been working on that fun brand for quite a while. I about gag on that word now. It is trending, branding. I watched America's Next Top Model All Stars and it was all about their brand. I cannot say that I recollect one moment of time in watching JK8 and what few of K8 I got under my belt that KT ever had fun or even the kids for very long for that matter. Wouldn't fun become mundane if every single solitary moment of your life had to be fun, fun, fun, did I say fun. Mommy, are you happy. Am I having fun?

Yes!!!! Instead of having FUN, we all should be having SUPER FUN!!
That is such an immature attitude. Everything is not fun even if you have an optimistic attitude. Little kids get up every morning and want to play and have fun.
Having a positive outlook does NOT mean trying to find the FUN in everything!

Yeah, Kate! Just like you showed by example on the Palin camping trip. Your attitude is amazing!
Prosperity gospel again?
Pity Party,
Branding is the craze right now- I have 4 books on it, to get an idea of how to 'brand' myself, including in the workplace and on social media. I suck at it, but hey, at least I tried :)
It's just selling yourself, 2.0 style, if you know what I mean. Just hyped up for the next generation and a little pizazz added in- what makes you YOU and not everyone else, your brand.
So I already gave 2 of the books away, LOL, have to help my co-workers out and give them a leg up on branding themselves.
The books did say to not use social media foolishly though, to not put anything out there you would regret, you wouldn't want an employer to see, you would delete the next day, you wouldnt want your parents (or kids) to see, etc, so Kate is obviously got that part of it all wrong. As usual.
It's very dangerous for Halle Berry to be giving misinformation out about diabetes. It's not like she is giving advice on paper cuts, this is serious business and truly life threatening.
She didn't sound like she was having much fun on the SkyJump either. hehe.
Yeah, Kate! Just like you showed by example on the Palin camping trip. Your attitude is amazing!
_______________________
That was different. Everyone was having FUN but Kate. Kate can't have that. It's perfectly ok if she's having fun and no one else is though. In fact that's really FUN.
Isn't it just like a narcissist though to SAY they have something like Type 1 without having any true knowledge of the disease, and then don't dare question them on it because they said so, end of story. You can't argue with these people. Do all narcissists think they're untouchable?
Oh and another thing she said was when you have diabetes you don't feel pain. WTF?

@CarrieDe387 @Kateplusmy8 So true! When kids our house caught on fire..daddy packed us up & took us 2Disney World! Our tears dried fast! :)
_______________________
I bet those who lost family in 9/11 wish they had thought of that. Just go to Disney World!
These people are seriously mentally ill. Kate, Milo, mental institutions are really FUN. You should go!!!
Somehow I overlooked all the FUN of my colonoscopy prep. /snark
Why is it that all these people always love Disney World?
I mean I know perfectly normal people who are obsessed with it, but it seems to me every single sheeple is a Disney sheeple too.
Oh and another thing she said was when you have diabetes you don't feel pain. WTF?
&&
Well yeah you don't feel pain if you never take your insulin and your disease is so out of wack it's done massive nerve damage!
I hope a Pink Straight Jacket has an extra one for her.
Do-wop and oldie but goodies on our PBS station until 10:30. I admit I don't remember all of these because I really was too young.
If I don't remember the words, I can sing along because I have the closed caption on!
OOOO feeling like I'm coming down with something.. Got the rockin' pneumonia and boogie woogie blues.

I'm trying to think of one place on the RV trip she was having fun? The jewelry store because she could shop is all I can come up with. The rest of the trip she was miserable to everyone including the vacuum cleaner.
Dutch Tulip: The Keeshond was named after Cornelis (Kees) de Gijzelaar, an 18th century Dutch patriot, and became the symbol of the revolt against the House of Orange. They were formerly known as the Wolfspitz.
FUN is one adjective or noun I would never have associated with Kate. Jon was the one who played
with the kids & took them ALL to favorite places- remember RH's book where Kate said she had to pretend she payed those games for the show?
I wish Kate could experience the fun I have had since my cancer diagnosis. She could giggle all through the part when I had to tell my kids, and positively guffaw while waiting for the stem cell transplant! She would really enjoy the 30 pounds I gained from steroid chemotherapy, and wriggle with glee while she sat on the commode coping with the gastroenteritis.
Fortunately the stem cell transplant seems to have worked, and I am recovering well.Kate doesn't need to have fun with that part though, it's not a bad thing.
As a Disney Fan (not a Sheeple, though) I go to WDW at once a year. I live on the West Coast so its quite a commitment, financially. As an adult why do I love Disney so much? Because its my "go to" place of non-reality. I am fully aware of the downside of Disney (long lines, expense, crowds, etc.). But when I go on property my every day cares just don't matter. Its induldging myself with what I want to do and eat, not what others want me to do.
Yes, some Disney fans can be waaaay over the top. But with everything in life, moderation is the key.
P.S. My husband and I budget for these trips. They are never spur of the moment trip.
@Kateplusmy8

Yes, that's right, "every moment of life can be fun"...every flippin moment. 142
I realize that the general consensus here is that KK's emotional
development stopped at around age 12 (not disagreeing), but her
obsession with "FUN' goes beyond that. Life at age 12 is not all FUN.
It's about realizing that you are growing up and some of the unknowns
are scary and also exciting. It goes way beyond "fun."
IMO, Kate is FULL OF SHIT with her platitudes and her let's
have fun tweets. More fakeness from the queen of fake. Simple as
that.
Oh and another thing she said was when you have diabetes you don't
feel pain. WTF? 153
If you've reached the point of neuropathy (starts at the extremities)
you're kind of far gone.
Type 2 diabetes can require insulin and then if your diet. weight etc
are under control, no longer need it. Type 1 requires insulin.
Period.
IDModo, I'm thankful that you are recovering. I would hate for anything like that to happen in her family. She has no skills to cope with anything more serious than a broken fake nail. I don't care if she is a nurse and almost 40 years old. She would probably do more harm than good.

IDModo: Best wishes for your continued good health. You really know what fighting for your life is all about.I'm sorry I didn't realize your illness was recent.
Thanks for your kind concern, Carolina Peach and Formerly Duped. The transplant was in May of this year and I am now back to doing everything I did before.
The myeloma is still there but in quantities so small that they can't be counted, and there is good evidence that this cancer becomes chronic, with long (sometimes up to 10-12 years)periods of remission. I'm 69 now, so am not worried about dying before my time!

I am with you on Disneyland. I am an addict. When I walk through the gates and hear the music, I feel like I have escaped to Funland. It brings out all the positive emotions in a person. Happiness, excitement, and amazement that human beings can create such genius rides! I am 51 and can't get enough of that place. I was just there last year when my youngest daughter graduated from high school. We both agree it is the happiest place on earth. We have been there 4 times and are planning another trip next year.
Bluebird- It was GUMBY, and his horse was POKEY.I'm sure of this because my daughter used to sneak them into the Christmas creche when she was little, right in front of the Wise Men.
----------------
When my oldest was about four, he broke one of the shepherds when he and his cousin were racing around the house. They were both afraid to tell me. They replaced the broken piece with the yellow Power Ranger action figure that he had found on the curb outside Toys R Us, and they put the shepherd's staff in its hand. It took me awhile to discover it, and I really couldn't be angry. A Power Ranger in the stable, surrounded by sheep, cows and goats was really funny. Although I did replace the shepherd, the Power Ranger is still there. I'm just glad the angel on the top of the stable wasn't broken, or they might have replaced it with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!
When I was a kid, we had a set of four ceramic candles. The bottom of each of them was a letter. When set together, they spelled NOEL. We always kept it on top of the organ in our family room. I'd switch the letters around to spell LEON. My mom would change them back to NOEL and pretended to be upset (I knew she wasn't). Those pieces somehow disappeared through the years, and I wish I could find a set again. I still search the flea markets and online auctions, but I haven't been able to locate the same ones.
Does anyone remember the small Gurley choir boy candles? There were also trees, reindeer, santas, angels. My grandmother always had a set of them on her mantel. I still have them - so many memories.

@Kateplusmy8 Good evening Kate! My seems u've been on some sort of mission! What have U been dreamin abt 2day? :)
She's not only a looney tune, but she's intrusive and creepy. If I were Kate, I'd respond with, "dreamin abt finding a way to make nosy people go away."
Paper Plates...
Even though I'm on the west coast, my favorite is WDW. I'm 61 and love having no responsibilites for a week. This is my idea of fun. I enjoy the "small" things about Disney. The quiet places to watch people. You know the overlooked places/things, like the gardens, the swans, having an adult drink after spending the day at a park. Basically, I'm on my time lingering over a meal, interacting with a CM, sleeping late, hitting the quiet pool.
@Kateplusmy8 Good evening Kate! My seems u've been on some sort of mission!

It's funny they assume Kate is actually up to something of value when she is quiet. Doubt it. She probably doesn't have the kids and is probably catching up on her DVR of The Voice, making phone calls to her two paid friends, and getting her hair done.

Kate tweeted a Dyson vacuum and her favorite pajamas are on her Christmas list. Milo immediately inquires about the pajamas. lol
Wonder how many Dysons she'll receive.

HUGE Disney fan over here!!! Seriously LOVE WDW! We have been going every year for ages. Usually 8-10 nights on property....just immersed in what seems to be a PERFECT world. No problems, worries....then you get to the Orlando airport and it weirds me out that everybody is not all smiles and helpful, bathrooms are not spotless....you know, real life!
I love the planning part before the trip almost as much as actually being there. I do everybody's Disney plans that I know. They are always amazed at what a little planning can do to make or break a Disney trip.
I only have a very few select Disney items at home though...not nuts for all the stuff...for me it's all about the experience! Love, love, love!!
Sorry. I'm just a wee bit passionate. Can you tell ??? Bahahahahaha!!

I've been trying to take my daughter to Disney World since I divorced when she was 2. She's 16 now and I still can't afford it. :( We go to OBX with family every year or maybe I would have made it by now. I don't know but it's depressing. My neighbor goes ever year and is currently Facebooking about an upcoming trip nonstop. I can't believe she's going to take her 2 kids out of Kindergarten and 2nd grade for it but apparently she is.

Carolina, thanks for posting about the Do Wop on PBS. I love when they run those shows. Next up, Motown, and then a repeat of Do Wop. DVR is set.
A few months ago I started making a playlist of all the songs from 60's 70's and 80's. When I'm off I turn on my computer on and turn volume up and clean at a record speed. I call it Sweepin and Dustin to the oldies. Don't feel the aches and pains as much while I'm exercising my vocal cords. Always did clean with the music playing.
At work I play Play Paul and Paula radio on Pandora. It warms my heart to hear a young nurse singing along. My kids grew up listing to all my old 45's. Thank God they were up in closet when Katrina and able to be saved.
Who else here loves all these oldies?
Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to everone, belated. worked last 2 nights. Hope y'all had a good one.

I remember that and I remember thinking I'll bet he wishes he could just keep skating on out of there and not look back. She couldn't stand that he was having a little fun and omg she was left behind with the toddlers. Didn't she make a remark about how immature he was AS she was throwing a tantrum? Admin you need to have a thread of it own #SuperFunEpisodes showing all the #funfunfun she is. lol!
I'm watching 20/20 right now. They're repeating the two hour special with Jaycee Dugard. Too bad Kate isn't. Maybe a look at a sicko pedo like Phillip Garrido would shake her into reality.

Disneyworld IS expensive, no doubt about it. Here'ss a trick I use to save for a trip. When checking out at the grocery store, the customer receives a receipt showing how much money was saved on the purchase. I take the saved amount and put it in my vacation savings account. I clip coupons, look for sales, anything to save money on groceries. I then forget about the vacation savings (don't look at the balance) until about 5-6 months before I want to leave. However, I deposit money into the account each week. I then take some of the money and buy the airline tickets and one-nights hotel deposit. I also take back recycled bottles/cans and put that money in the vacation account. I pay off as much of the vacation I can before I leave. While at WDW I do not stay at the high end ($400/night) hotels. That's nuts to spend that kind of money.
Other savings tips...go off season, fly the cheapest routes, don't buy the dining plan (can't each that much food).

I like the fleece jammy bottoms two. I get mine at the Dollar Store for $5.
LBelle, Big WCW lover here too! Before divorce we went every year, had a camper and always stayed at Fort Wilderness.
My Ex and his wife are Disney collectors. When they retired, they got jobs at Disney. They would go every 3 months for 10 days and work various places on property. As Cast Members they got huge discounts. In 2004, we all went with or sons and their family, my sis and her family and his wife's kids and grandkids.
We stayed at the Polynesian, my ex was able to get 5 rooms at near half the cost. Our rooms were on the Seven Seas Lagoon. We had an amazing time.
Ex had to give up working there because in 2010 he had a heart transplant. They still go, but only once or twice a year.
