Dancing With the Stars' Tony Dovolani won the biggest prize of them all last night with his partner Melissa Rycroft. When asked on Jimmy Kimmel about Kate Gosselin, he said: "She's a sweetheart. I'm sure she voted for us." Kate tweeted her congratulations late today.

When I first saw the comment about Vita Mix I immediately thought "vetavitavegamin". Remember that astonishingly funny I Love Lucy episode? lol
To Working Woman. Be kind to yourself. Take a deep breath and remind yourself that you can overcome this setback. We all have them and I know it can be SO overwhelming at times. But you CAN do this. Just don't continue to beat yourself up about it. Life is too short. I wish you the very best and please talk to us any time and maybe we can walk you thru a rough patch. :)

The one thing that I have learned is to never give up. Analyze why you turn to food destructively, learn from it, and move on.
--------------------
Working women, Pink is so right. When I have tripped in life I found that learning from it took away it's power over me and gave me the courage to move on and not fear it. Any learning is knowledge and knowledge is strength. Strength gives us the power to overcome the fear.
I will remember you in my prayers. God bless and give you knowledge and strength over the fear.
Permanent, I vote for image #2. If you do happen to fine her face on one of your crackers, I bet you could hold an auction for her fans. You could make a bundle!
@Kateplusmy8: @XXXXX @KiehlsNYC no.There're a fabulous company w over the top amazing products that work! Thumbs up to my greatest product crush!
=================
What stands out for me in this tweet is Kate's command of the English language.
There're??????
Kate: There. Their. They're not the same (and there're is not a word).
===================
Auntie Ann I agree with you about the apple!
Here is my kart sign-off:
OK, this mom of one, count him, ONE, child is off to bed. It's been a busy day. I had a meeting, read a book, loaded the dishwasher..... and........ some other really busy important kind of stuff. I would have tweeted more, except I don't have a twitter account and my son is grown and lives in another state, so there is no reason to tweet since he's not here to ignore. @vitamix #sendmeafreeone........ I can't work my box-o-wine tonight as I took some benadryl to hopefully sleep and avoid dreaming of face crackers, I'm a nurse and know better than to mix meds w/ nectar. Tweet me if you need anymore medical advice. I heart to diagnose and treat over twitter....
lets tweet later luvU, c u l8ter.
Y'all are nasty.
Gigi 198 - Oh please. I make bread using my kitchen aid mixer. It takes me 5-10 minutes to mix everything and knead it then 1 hour to rise (I helped the kids with homework during that time today) another 5 minutes prep time punching it down and dividing it and then 30 minutes second rise (while I ate dinner) and then roll it into French loaves, put it in the pan and let it bake.
So for fresh made bread from scratch I spend maybe 20 minutes total time in the kitchen. I've had a bread machine and it only saved me 10 minutes max. I prefer hand baking because I can shape the loaves any which way I choose. I buy sandwich bread but like to make French bread for spaghetti night or if I need croutons like I do tomorrow for a chicken Parmesan soup recipe I'm trying.
I don't think it's bad to have a bread machine but I agree, it's no big deal. Whether you make it or buy it it's all bread.
LOL, Admin,
The word is NAS TAY.......... giggle, snort.

Where are all the drivebys? They're late. This one is a real head scratcher though, I don't blame them. Tony I mean. How to explain this one?
Admin,
You skeered them away! :-)
Just be patient, they'll come home dragging their tails behind them....
Working Woman - I don't know what the situation is but I can understand. It is a journey and sometimes we take 2 steps back to make 3 steps forward. You will get past this temporary setback. You need to believe in yourself that you can do it. Sending you tons of positive energy your way.
I'm still catching up with the other comments here and I just want to say you all make me laugh. I also just took an ambien so maybe I'm an easy audience. It hasn't kicked in full power yet so if you see me off drooling on the sidebar you'll know what happened.

The 8 on the apple looks like a little snowman with a penis. A very happy penis.
8888888888888
Oh, geez, Auntie. I was going to say it looks like a snowman. That's the first thing I saw. I missed the penis doing the happy dance. I'll have to take another look. After the photo of John Bobbitt's detached member, I'm afraid I'm going to be seeing penises (or is it peni?) everywhere.
When will we see Steve's face in a piece of pizza dough?
I don't understand why Kate tweets personal messages to people, instead of texting or emailing them privately, and vice-versa. What's that about?
I've seen tweet conversations that I didn't understand why they would be in the public domain, instead of private texts between the two people.
Just for show off purposes?

It's ok I got all this free lip balm that seems to be good at stopping drool. Now I know why Kate loves it.
Working Woman - I am so sorry you have been struggling. Trying to overcome eating problems is very much like climbing a mountain of sand. There are times when you feel strong and start making good progress toward the top, but sometimes things happen to slow your progress and the sand starts to pull you back down. All you can do is dig in harder and just keep going. Keep moving steadily and relentlessly upward.
It is hard work, but keeping your focus on your goals will help you through. I wish you strength and peace.
This woman would never make it as a nurse, or flipping burgers. If getting the kids haircuts, baking bread and cooking dinner wears her out, she'd never last a week in the real employment world.

I need sleep!... The events of the day were mind boggling to even me. I'm sitting still for 1st time since 5:30 am so I'm dozing... GN! XO
Blowing I was literally thinking today that's great Kate now try to do all that AND work a forty-hour week or more! Because that's what real single moms do and they manage it.
No people. I always said if I ever see Plus 8 in an apple it's over with. The fat lady has sung.

No I haven't. I was just yawning. Honest.

----------------
Yes, they manage it because they must manage it. They have no choice. There are no nannies, cooks, housekeepers or babysitters. When they come home from their shift, they have everything to do that Kate claims caused her exhaustion. The difference is that they are exhausted before they even begin their work at home. Kate wakes up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to start her day.

She calls getting haircuts an event? Cooking meals is an event? Major or minor? My gawd what happens if something happens like one of her dryers breaks down? Would that be a "catastrophe"?
And she has a housekeeper and a part time nanny to boot.

I think she said something like "it's been circling around" about Michelle Obama. Yeah, circling the drain you mean??
Baw-haha. Classic.
It's all part of her self importance and hiding the real truth talking in these passive tense ways. The idea has been discussed is so vague. She's not really lying. After all SHE discussed Michelle Obama and SHE discussed London even if no one else did. "It's been talked about" isn't a lie. It makes her sound important while at the same time not lying. For someone who lies so much, she sure is careful to play with words.
************************************************
When Kate first hooked up with R&R Marathon, I recall her yammering about running with them in Madrid. After her initial grifting spasm it was never mentioned again. It died a quiet death as do most of her grandiose plans.
For those of you who do not have a Twitter account, l thought l would pass on this message from Tony to those who voted for him and Melissa
Tony Dovolani@TonyDovolani
12:04 am I just got to bed and I can't help but tweet all of you and thank you all for this incredible gift you have given me xoxoxoxo
Seriously. Sitting still for the first ime since 5:30 am? Kids got on a bus, she bought a 50 lb bag of flour and maybe prepped dinner before haircuts at 4 pm. Can someone fill in that timeline whereupon she did not have a moment cuz it certainly is not with a paying job. Oh, ahe did compose a tweet to Tony, maybe while dancing? Twitidiot.
Amazing the hold Kate has on her fans. This is the tweet from Paige on her tweet site...
Paige C
Congrats to Melissa rycroft on winning the mirror ball trophy! I love her
Nothing about Tony. When Kate stated she had friends that would die for her, I believe Paige is #2 on the list, Milo of course #1.
I've been reading some of online articles about their win and wanted to share just a few things that were said regarding Kate as his partner.
USWeekly.com said: (in part) "For Dovolani who's had nightmare partners including Kate Gosselin and Wendy Williams"...
TVGuide.com said: "Without mentioning names, it was pointed out to Dovolani that he's had his share of "challenging" partners in past seasons (Cough, Kate Gosselin, cough)."
Wetpaint.com said: "Just last March we were begging the DWTS producers to give pro Tony Dovolani a partner he could win with, after making him dance with the likes of Kate Gosselin & Wendy Williams since Season 2".
This is a viewer comment (in part): "They always give Derek partners with potential, while Tony gets those who can't dance a step, i.e. Kate Gosselin".
And this was a comment made by Tony during one of his interviews: "I love my journey...thru the good times and the bad times. Anybody's whose followed the show knows I have had my challenges."
Permanent Name,
I have a Vitamix and I love it. I use it almost daily. I just found out an easy way to grate carrots - cut a couple carrots in large chunks, put them in the blender, cover with water, and pulse two or three times, then drain the water. Super easy.
Tony was nice enough to respond briefly to Kate:
Xo RT @Kateplusmy8: A bit delayed (sorry!) but my congratulations go out to @TonyDovolani
I was so glad Tony finally won. I'm with the opinion somebody reminded Kate to tweet Tony.
She's probably on a high because she's going somewhere. She doesn't get to travel much these days.
Not that this hasn't been said a million times, but wouldn't you just be mortified that Tony wins and yet all anyone can talk about is how much you sucked when you danced with him?
Tony has had 15 partners. Fifteen! And Kate is the one they keep naming. She wasn't even his worst partner, there were worse. But she was the one with the worst attitude who didn't even try. Even Wendy Williams tried.
Tony and his partner WON....Good for him.The ONLY reason kate is brought up is to stir the pot...Tony would never mention kate if he wasn't TOLD to do so!
How do you do it? How do you make your partner work so hard?
I'm kate Gosselin...I want any and all freebies...I MUST be heard..
In going through some old emails I stumbled upon this comment from Robin and Nobody likes a narcissist from July 2011, and it's just as true then as it was now. Especially in light of today's flour-gate exhausted day. I hope they don't mind a little re-run, throw back. Thanks girls!
"Nobody Likes a Narcissist has left a new comment on your post "Kate says kids tell her "We Need a Daddy!"":
Robin said...
...........What exactly does she have to do right now other than some laundry and prepare meals for her family? It's not like she's out driving the carpool or going to watch a soccer game or mowing the lawn or going to work or volunteering or changing diapers or breastfreeding or doing any of the time-consuming things that every other mother in the world is doing right now.
=====================
Funny that you mention that, because I was just thinking something like that recently. Try being in a house with just four kids, but all at different stages. I am truly sick to death of Khate complaining about how hard her life is because she has eight, count 'em eight kids. She thinks that makes her supermom, the bestest mom ever, nobody has so many kids and therefore, as much work as she has.
Bull! At the ages that Khate's kids are now, I actually think she has it EASIER in many ways than families with four kids or more. Khate's kids are all old enough to brush their teeth, get dressed, put on their shoes, clean up their toys, grab themselves a snack, set the table, clear the table, etc. Most of all, they all occupy each other playing. Try having four kids and it goes like this: while mom is breastfeeding a cranky, teething baby, the toddler is whining and being difficult because his does not want to take a nap, especially since he older two siblings are having fun running around in the back yard. Oh and don't forget, one of them has piano lessons at 4 and the other has a soccer game at 6. Better think about what you're making for dinner and get a start on it that soon too. .......
Part 2:
Also, let's not forget the school year craziness with all the homework, book reports, projects, and special days that require you to send something into school or go to a special assembly, recital, concert, or party. With four or more kids all in different grades, well, it's crazy. Plus, who has to go to piano, dance, gymnastics, basketball, track, soccer, baseball, etc. Every day after school, it sure is a pain having to check the backpacks and homework of kids in four different grades. Make sure kid A studies for his science test tomorrow, while kid B needs help with his math homework, kid C's book report is due in two days and he hasn't even finished half the book yet, and kid D needs to be quizzed on his spelling words for tomorrow. Then there's the notes from the teacher, or principal, or the PTA, about a certain upcoming event or party at school, a request to send something in. Plus, maybe you're an involved parent (unlike Khate) and you're the one volunteering and organizing events and parties, which requires a lot of running around picking things up and a ton of emails back and forth with the other parents as to who is doing what.
I could go on forever, but I know that the other parents here completely understand, Khate has eight kids in two different grades. Plus, the six are all in one class, aren't they? If that continues, it will be a lot easier for Khate than dealing with several different teachers, all assigning different homework, projects, reports, and tests. I wouldn't be surprised if that's one of the reasons that she will continue to insist they remain in the same class. Are the twins in different classes? I don't remember. There's a family with triplets at our school and for a couple of years they were in the same class, but then the parents decided that they would be better off all in different classes so they could become more independent and develop their own friendships. While it was better for the kids, it ended up being more work for the parents, for some of the reasons I've mentioned.
I won't even get into the fact that Khate has so much help and no real job. But she's always so busy, so tired, and so exhausted. Give me a break!"
Believe me when I tell you I am not a dancer by any means; any "dancing" I do is done with blinds closed and nobody around. I do it to
burn off some energy. I do not go to any public place to dance and I most certainly would not do it if there were cameras anywhere around to send the spectacle worldwide.
That said, Kate always looked to me like her final performance was actually her first practice. She was looking for cues from Tony about what to do next, moving her arms around strangely, and not quite getting any flow to her
movements. Day one, hour one of a new dance
routine.
Those who move ahead in the competition may not have all the steps right, but they step out with confidence. They kick and twirl and jump and swing messily sometimes, but they do it without hesitation and with lots of enthusiasm.
I had a boss once who used to tell us "Do something, even if it's wrong". I think most of the dancers do lots, make mistakes, but look good in their efforts. Kate did nothing and looked pitiful and laughable.
She even messed up the cherry picker thing, not knowing where to go or what to do when she got up there. Truly a disasterous moment for her.
How about just simple facts? kate Gosselin IS a Child Abuser,animal abuser?
This woman has zero class...She begs and begs for free stuff.
This millionaire lives for grifting....from the less fortunate ...
How her sheeple can defend her is beyond me.
Flood anything kate...with the truth...Roberts book....Child abuser...in her OWN words...
You are sooo done kate.
Dear 'Joy',
If your mission in life is to spoil every television show you watch here, please, take it elsewhere. Notice how very *awkward* it is when you post and everyone ignores you? An apology may be a start. MAY be a start.

If only Kate danced on the dance floor the way she deceptively dances with the English language she could have been a contendah.
Up early here and catching up on the comments. You guys crack me up. Congrats to Tony and Melissa but for the life of me I can't remember why Melissa is famous. Can someone refresh my memory.
Joy in Virginia...I'm with fidosmommy. I want to see that happy dance! Looking forward to your posts on Coach Shoka and VCU.
Working Woman...Don't despair and don't beat yourself up. Just remember, one foot in front of the other. Baby steps are okay.
Kate's still a poopyhead.

I had to look up Melissa Rycroft too. Had no idea who she was. Looks like she was on the Bachelor......
Day two of the EIGHT DAYS of HAPPY DANCE!!!!!!!! Complete with eight exclamation points!!!!!!!!

Have a SUPER SPARKLY DAY everyone!!!!!!!! (love that commercial for some credit card)
To: Working Mom, There is Over-eaters Anon., where you can meet kindred souls. It is free and can be found on google. Remember it is "one day at a time." Mazel Tov
Here's what I know about Melissa Rycroft. She was on the Bachelor with Jason Mezick (sp?) and he proposed to her - she accepted. Rings roses and champagne all around. Then, Jason decided he'd rather marry Molly, the other woman at the finale. So, he broke up with Melissa and got the ring back, and went and found Molly. Molly and Jason are still married and just had a baby recently. While those 2
were happy homemaking, Melissa went on to be a Bachelorette and other things. She's getting around and building a career for herself. That might be because she's gorgeous and then again it might be because she's got some talent in there. And a work ethic. She's married with a new baby now, too.
Permanent Name...I was watching HGTV while running on the treadmill and a commercial for Vitamix came on. I've never seen a commercial for this product before. Take it as a sign.
Upstater and fidosmommy...Thanks for the info.

Keep on dancin' Joy!

In the rehearsal for that final dance, she was so rude to Tony. She was clearly finished with this mountain she couldn't climb and wanted nothing more to do with it, or Tony.
Tony looked down at the floor as if he knew he was defeated.
Kate is like a toddler in a room full of toys. First she plays with this one, gets tired of it, tosses it aside, then wobbles over to that toy and then the next, and the next, but never finding one she likes. Her fun, fun, fun is short-lived with everything she thinks will make her happy in life, but nothing does.

Don't you think it's time to put up a new post about Kate's christmas grifts? Let's keep a list and see what she will be grifting for christmas! All expensive items, of course. So far it has been Dyson, VS and Keihl's. Outrageous prices, the better for Kate!
Xo RT @Kateplusmy8: A bit delayed (sorry!) but my congratulations go out to @TonyDovolani
&&&
It's amazing how being the bigger person really shuts her down. XO? I mean if she says ANYTHING bad about him now she will be nothing but a jerk and she knows it. I like finding ways to shut down narcissists and Tony found it. Lord knows he has experience with enough of them to know how.
I am laughing at the "8" comments, lol, and that goofy apple pic. I'm waiting for the toast photo - for some reason, it always seems to be the toast...
Almost being the season, it came to mind that she probably wishes she followed Judaism so she could observe Hanukkah and say the number "8" over and over and make turn it into something all about her!
She's probably trying to figure out ways to take the credit for Tony winning.
"I made him a better teacher"
"His experience with me taught him how to listen to his partner"
What apple picture? I don't see one on her twitter? What did I miss??

Well, when I scraped the Kate-blob off the table, the underside of it had green gooey blobby stuff (those are the technical terms, I can put in sheeple-lay-language later in case one of em baaaas in this direction), but the gooey blob was stuck firmly to the backside of the Kate-blob. As I was scraping it off with concentrated rumspringa, i thought it was trying to roll around on the table and digest the eight little blobs, but perhaps I was just overcome by the... excitement... of it all.
Anyway, I was going to try to save the Kate-blob to put on ebay, (the teeth alone were probably worth a bidding war!) but the dogs attacked it, ate it, and I am pretty sure it is steaming in the back yard somewhere right now.
OH LOOK! Shoka is doing a happy dance... wonder what that is all about? (I think Shoka is in a shelter somewhere and Kate will keep pretending he is with her up until he is adopted elsewhere.)

@resa1002 @jess_mac2 @kiehlsnyc not true!I treated self 2 $200 of their prod last wk!I'm a consumer that WILL tell others abt gr8 products:)

Someone is on the defensive. She can treat herself to $200 worth of over-priced beauty products, but it's too expensive to take the kids to movies?
Kate just likes to rub her fans' noses in how wealthy she is that she can buy overpriced cosmetics whenever she wants to.
Tweet -- I don't read Kate's tweets on a regular basis, but her recent love affair with Kiehl's is certainly interesting...

@deannatweeting well said.. I'm in some serious love:) #cremedecorp
So which role is she playing this week? The struggling single mom of EIGHT kids who can't afford vacations for the kids, or the wealthy celebrity who indulges in beauty products for herself? She needs to make up her mind. Knowing that she blew two hundred on body creams, will the sheeple still be sending Christmas gifts to the kids (and Kate) because Kate's having a difficult time making ends meet?
Deanna chimes in.
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8
Omg @deannatweeting u tried2tell me abt @KiehlsNYC Creme de corps..In love!The scent&body moisturizing is AMAZING! http://img.ly/qhbc
Deanna Bell @deannatweeting
@Kateplusmy8 isn't it luxuriously wonderful?!
Wasn't there a tweet from Kate saying she was in NYC and Deanna took her to Kiehls? So maybe she went into her "I'm a stah" act and will be happy to tweet about your products.
If she spent $200 on a Kiehl's order, then all that ooing and cooing over her 'gift' is bogus; if Kiehl's sends thank-you freebies with all orders, then Our Kate is just a regular customer. Smokescreens. But yep, $200 at Kiehl's and her boys trip all over their too big clothes. I think we will see litle to brag about in 2013.
Here's the thing. Why tweet anything at all about it? Why not just keep your mouth shut? Why does the public have to know that Kate ordered products from Kiehl's? Why does she feel the need to share this information? I just don't understand her. Then again, I wonder if she really understands herself.
Blowing because she's getting paid in free makeup to do it. She'll do anything for a freebie, no shame.
She really can't decide what hat she is wearing. She wants to be this couponing every-woman mother just struggling to raise eight kids, and then in the next breath is slathering on $125 moisturizer. She needs to pick one message and stick with it. If she's a filthy rich bitch who always knows the best overpriced products to use fine, but stick to the same message.
I bet you Kate still is writing emails and letters to companies begging for freebies. This is what she did when the kids were younger, some of the letters are in the book. She was low on makeup and lotion and she may have written 200 letters to 200 companies before Kiehls finally shut her up. I think we will never really know how much of her life has been bought for by others. Upwards of 80% even.
I would have more respect for her if she stood on a street corner with a tin can.
She is twittering about moisturizer to get things stirred and to deflect from Tony's win.
You know I bet she even has a form letter drawn up detailing her twitter account. Something like I have 100,000 followers or whatever it is, a very active twitter account, in the past I've tweeted for X and Y company, etc. And that she would be willing to do a tweet for them for X amount of cash, or freebies. There's companies that would bite at that, it's just a fact that some companies pay people to tweet advertisements for them, I've read that the really big names like the Kardashians can make huge bucks off one tweet.
Did you all see the photo (and read the story) of the NYC cop who bought shoes and socks for the homeless man? I have tears running down my face right now.

Kate just likes to rub her fans' noses in how wealthy she is that she can buy overpriced cosmetics whenever she wants to.
************************************************
She's tacky, insensitive, and attracted to shiny objects.
I wish that Kate would realise that having expensive "things" doesn't make her a better human being- and bragging about it insensitively, makes her ill mannered, and offensive.
When you place a pile of poop in a pretty gift box, you still have a pile of poop in a box.
Kate is a pile of poop.
Twittering that's great and reminds me of another story I just heard. A Minnesota hospital delivered 19 baby boys in a row, a statistical fluke. The 20th family had a baby girl. The father of the baby girl felt bad for breaking the streak. He bought all 19 of the families before him 3 month supplies of diapers.
What a random act of kindness those families I'm sure will appreciate.

------------
I think it's partly about Tony's win but more that she needs the interaction on Twitter to keep her (in her mind) relevant. And to show to any potential employers that she has 8,888,888 fans.
The non-fans really do need to keep quiet. I'm disappointed in a few that keep stirring things up. I could see getting active on her feed if news broke about RH's book or more child abuse allegations. But hounding her about makeup --- let it go.

That's a great story. I must add that last winter my daughter bought some gloves for a homeless man who set up a stoop near her downtown college, and my husband also gave him his coat.(he bought a new one for himself- the man just was freezing or he would have got him the new one) One kindness at a time can really add up. My daughter was happy to see him wearing them again this year.I felt proud she did this- people can be so callous...or so kind.

Thanks for sharing. I found the article and am crying too. That sort of thing is one of the biggest things I want to do if I ever win a substantial lottery jackpot. Not only donate to good causes but help the random individuals like this policeman did. (To help many more than I can on my present income now.)
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/9710500/New-York-policemans-gift-to-homeless-man-turns-into-an-internet-hit.html
admin, that photo of the cop next to the barefoot homeless man would make a good thread topic (unselfish giving) for the holiday season. The photo is worth a thousand words, but the story of how the cop went to the Sketchers store and used his own money to buy boots and socks for the man is just priceless. It's an uplifting story showing generosity and compassion, but at the same time is a commentary on the swelling plight of the homeless who go unnoticed by society.

OHHH!! This is getting interesting. $200 on herself but she denies milk, activies and movies to her children? YEAH RIGHT! Someone please tweet to her asking her to defend spending $200 on products that will last a month (?) vs. taking her children out for the SAME PRICE!
The New York Times has the story, also:

@mqgjd7 Oh, I KNOW! @Kateplusmy8 wouldn't have been ON DWTS if she hadn't had the kids & a reality show, so it's ALL the kids! #hicrazyhater
Yes...it was all the kids! How dumb are these sheeple? Does this person really believe that if Kate didn't have eight kids and a reality show that DWTS would have done a contestant search in southeastern Pennsylvania and burned up the phone lines begging Kate, a no-name housewife, an unfamiliar face, to travel to LA to be on a show with stars?
Of course it was the eight kids and reality show that landed her on DWTS. What else would it have been? Certainly not her dancing ability or warm,, fuzzy personality.
Someone please tweet to her asking her to defend spending $200 on products that will last a month (?) vs. taking her children out for the SAME PRICE!

You can buy very good products at your local pharmacy or Walmart for a fraction of a price...they do the same thing. Neutrogena and Olay are very good, and the skin care line at Bath and Body Works is wonderful.
She needs to stop gushing over this. She's made her point. She's in love with the body cream. Let it go.

@Kateplusmy8 DM what PO Box to send twins Xmas gift was given some extra items from my Husband's Company free.
Kate wasn't in the audience at DWTS finale. I suspect she wasn't asked. They didn't want her or her attitude. DWTS has moved on and Kate is once again on the outside looking in.
So Kate is doing the only thing she knows how to do...beg for freebies. She was very successful with doing this before the 6 kids were born, and this apparently is her ownly talent. Begging. IMO the reason she is so busy, busy, busy with paperwork is because she writing/emailing companies asking for freebies or to be a spokesperson for their product. She is so over playing the mother card, ready to be someone else. Someone with fame and fortune. Hey, Kate, how's that working out for you?

Because they ate a clean, fresh diet that did not include processed foods.
Eliminate processed foods (which all contain GMO corn and sugar/HFCS), increase your intake of fresh fruits and veggies and see how your skin responds after three months.

$200 in makeup and fans are sending her gifts still? I've never seen something so shameful. Hey churchie, lots of kids in hurricane Sandy lost all their toys in fires and floods, please donate your overflow to them.

Actually pesticides were heavily used in my grandfather's day, it was even worse because they didn't know to even wear a mask while doing it. He even showed me an old chemical sprayer once for the cherry trees.
I actually think time out of the sun has more to do with it. Women wore hats and bonnets and high necks all the time, it wasn't fashionable to be tan. This protected their skin like many of us don't. Look at Jaycee Duggard. She is 32 or so but looks 23. She wasnt eating goos food or moosturizing. She was never in the sun, simple as that.

Don't you think it's time to put up a new post about Kate's christmas grifts? Let's keep a list and see what she will be grifting for christmas! All expensive items, of course. So far it has been Dyson, VS and Keihl's. Outrageous prices, the better for Kate!

That's a gr8t idea!
And it's not even December 1st,lol.
Dang, the woman spends $200 on herself, and can't take the kids to the movies or gymnastics lessons.
When are her fool fans going to figure out Kate is only about Kate?
People never drank gallons of soda, bags of Doritos, dunkin donuts, fast foods, candy by the bagful, etc.
Food was prepared fresh and simply at home.
Even fast food 30 years ago was OK to eat. It was small portions, made fresh daily. Taco Bells actually mixed the meat in each store individually, fresh each day, versus premixed frozen crap that is reheated for consumption today.
There is a huge difference in the QUALITY of the food that is sold today versus what people ate 60 years ago. There is no comparison. Which is why organic foods are now a huge, fast-growing market. People are finally waking up to what corporate agriculture has done to our diets and our health.
Garbage in = garbage out. Good food in = good health in general.

I think you're right. In most cases this would be true. I just wonder, though, about my grandma. She didn't wear high necks, hats and she didn't own a bonnet. She was out every day in the summer, tending her garden, doing yard work. No sunscreen. She had fair skin, she tanned, and yet no sun damage or wrinkles. I wonder why. Genetics?
Heather I say this with such respect because I like you and think you are a good poster. Can you please move on from the organic food topic? We get it. Sometimes you even post about it when it has nothing to do with anything. It's tiresome especially when some of what you say is so inaccurate and you want to respond but don't want to make you keep going on about it. Thank you.
The diet of days gone by wasn't healthy by todays standards either. Lots of fats -- bacon, butter, lard. Fruits and veggies were only seasonal. There wasn't shipping -- just canning and preserving in salt.
People died much younger and avoided many of the problems we face from old age.
I agree, eat the the best quality, least processed foods possible. Stay out of the sun without protection. Avoid poor air quality conditions.
Do what you can, but guess what....
Dang, the woman spends $200 on herself, and can't take the kids to the movies or gymnastics lessons.

They're not. She justifies this spending with other tweets...the exhaustion, the daily grind of raising EIGHT kids. She did it yesterday. Sheeple will say that she deserves to be pampered, she deserves to do something for herself for a change. Therefore, spending money on beauty products is perfectly acceptable. They have the art of spinning down to a science.
My great grandfather was a farmer and ate eggs, bacon, milk straight from the cow, fatty meats, white bread, every day. Tons of things were pickles or preserved. Good got old and went bad but they had to eat it anyway. Canned goods full of salt were a plenty. Died of a massive heart attack at age 54.
I know it's tempting to be nostalgic about our diets of yester year but in terms of understanding nutrition and healthy eating we have come light years away from his day. We eat better now, not worse.
Anonymous (15) ad Dmasy (16), I wholeheartedly agree with both of your comments.
Admin #118, I agree with your comment. Back in the 50's, 60's, and even the 70's, my great-grandma, grandma, mom, and aunts, all cooked a lot of red meat. We ate read meat at least 4 times a week. They cooked with lard, lots of butter, thick gravies for meats and potatoes were the norm, as well as whole milk. Everyone also drank a lot of soda as there were tons of soda commercials. Lastly, cigarette smoking was also more acceptable then, too. There were commercials all over TV for cigarettes and the main characters in popular shows were shown smoking: Andy Griffith on his show, Dick Van Dyke, Desi and Lucy all smoked on their shows, even the characters on Dragnet and FBI.
I do think we are more health conscious now than when I was growing up.

__________________
My grandparents did the same thing. The lard diet. Everything was fatty and fried. They both lived into their nineties, never sick a day in their lives. I wonder how long they would have lived on a healthy diet. Each died from something not related to diet...my grandmother from pneumonia, my grandfather from a bacterial infection, and a broken heart.

Instead of the 12 days of Christmas,
for Kate it would be
365 days of grifting.
I'd be ashamed if I did for myself before I took care of my kid's needs. And I for damn sure wouldn't grift stuff.
For Kate to sucker all those church people while signing papers on an pricey estate is testament to fraud,imo. How she shows her face in public, I have no idea.
I hope she enjoys spending the kid's money this weekend for a recreational marathon. Budgeting moms DON'T go across the country to run a 1/2 marathon.
A message to Kate: next time one of your twitter buds wants to send you or your kids something, tell them to donate it to charity.
Well, if Kate went to NYC last weekend, who helped Cara and Mady decorate the house for xmas the same weekend?
JoyinVirginia, when Tony and Melissa won, I jumped up w/a huge smile, thinking of how happy you must be in that moment! Keep happy dancing!
Often, people buying overpriced cosmetics as a panacea underestimate the role genetics plays on aging skin. Barring botox, fillers and surgeries, there really is no dermatological genie in any of those bottles.
Happy for Melissa and Tony's win on DWTS! Tony seems sweet; not Kate. He is being a gentleman in that statement.
I wouldn't trust that Kate voted for him either. She has a jealous personality and can't imagine her wishing another person success. We just have seen and know too much around here to fall for her crap anymore. Until I see her stop grifting and complaining, my opinion will not change about Kate.

She's aleady tried being blonde, bosomy, rail thin, long locks of hair, with an attitude. None of that has made her a star. So now she's trying moisturizers. Next?

We're gonna grow beards waiting for Kate to change her greedy ways.
It's a nice thought, aggie mom, but Kate would never encourage her fans to give to charity instead of to her. As far as Kate is concerned, she is her own favorite charity and believes she's entitled to these freebies.
Kate's skin seemed nicer and plumper five years ago, but also five years ago you'd never see her without a bottle of water in her hand, which might have something to do with it. Now all she yaps about is her coffee.
She'll have to start grifting @Dasani to get her skin back into shape.
Oh Auntie Ann that was so funny, my 7-up came out of my nose!
Now we know what all the paperwork is about, it's Kate sending form letters and emails to companies grifting their products. Remember the letter she had sent to keep her nurse/nanny for another year, I think it was like 6 pages long. She sure knows how to market her product (8 kids). Also, I wish she would stop calling them her littles or her babies, how old do you have to be before we can call them children?
Remona Blue, I'm with you, if people want to show respect for others here, at the very least don't use anonymous. If you're posting comments, own up to them.
The one thing Kate won't have to worry about is elderly care because she's estranged from them. There comes a time when Moms become the sandwich people...taking care of kids and parents. Its a stressful time on so many levels. But good old Kate kicked her parents out of her life so its one less thing she has to worry about.
I don't know about y'all, but I'm seeing ads for Kiehls on my screen now. The one at the top says "we all scream for this body cream" and rates it a 4.9/5. Are they hiring KK as their advertising person now? I know it's not 8/8, but dang, it sure sounds like her!

The only time I can ever remember drinking soda was when I had sleepovers and we made popcorn and my dad bought cases of Coke. We either drank water or milk with all meals, never soda, not in even in a restaurant.

Did the blog vote to set someone up to decide what should not be discussed here? I must have missed that.
Midnight Madness, as far as soda, I remember my family, friends, and even neighbors having a case or two of soda all the time. It's what we drank at most meals at our house and at friends. It's just the way it was.
I noticed now that you don't see the soda commercials on TV that they showed when we were growing up. Once again, I think it's part of being more health conscious, which is a good thing.
Milo wouldn't be able to convince Kreider to donate all her precious freebies to any charity, anywhere, anytime. Kate is ALL greed.....me, me, me, MEEEE!
You need empathy in order to do good things for others and there is not 1 empathetic bone in Kreider's man-shaped body.
She is simply, a PIG.
I wouldn't believe either of them anyways....they can SAY all they want that Kate donated something, anything....and it would likely be just a PR lie!

Do you still drink it with meals? I can't tell you the last time I had a soda with a meal. I either drink water or unsweetened iced tea. Even at restaurants, when everyone around me is drinking soda, I stick with water.
I guess the ways of one's youth really do stick with you, even if it's something has trivial as soda with meals!
Oh, no, Midnight Madness, I do not drink soda with meals. Neither did we allow our daughter to do that. I've almost given up soda completely and drink water all day and with meals. However, I do have my one can of Diet Pepsi every afternoon as a "pick me up" at work.
I have no issue if she wants to spend $200 on body cream (not a choice I'd make personally - I use Suave Advanced Therapy for about $5 and it lasts me a good month) but then I don't want to hear about how it's too much money to take the kids to the movies or to a local theme park etc. etc. I don't want to hear her go on another talk show and discuss how she desperately needs a new tv show because she has 8 kids to put through college.
That's what her fans don't get. I don't begrudge Kate spending money, getting $500 haircuts and colors, visiting the tanning salon, getting mani/pedis, shopping at Williams Sonoma for her kitchen tools, buying clothes at Ann Taylor Loft. Again, not the choices I would make and before anyone says I'm jealous my husband and I are in the 6 figure income bracket (lower end but still 6 figures) so I could if I wanted and we have 5 kids. (I just would rather invest for retirement, put kids through school, give my kids opportunities to grow and learn and give back to my community rather than blow through our nest egg. But that's me)
No, gentle Kate fans, I begrudge her doing all those things and then turning around and accepting gifts from her fans and complaining she has no money to do things with/for her kids.
We always had soda in the house and it was never forbidden, but we rarely drank it with meals. Once a week, usually our Saturday lunch, we'd have hamburgers or hot dogs or grilled sandwiches of some kind, and we'd have soda if we wanted, but I usually drank milk or, when I got older, iced tea. My parents usually drank coffee or my dad had iced tea. That may be one reason I don't care much for soda now. It wasn't forbidden, but it wasn't pushed either. I much prefer iced tea (unsweetened and without the lemon, thank you) nowadays. I don't remember the last time I had soda with a meal, or any time, for that matter. Too many sweets, too much of anything, is bad, but I think we cause a rebound and make people crave the "forbidden" foods. Instead of telling kids they can't have a cookie, or cake, or ice cream, or candy, allow a treat occasionally and, IMO, they're less likely to pig out on it when they have an opportunity. Moderation in all things.

******************
lol! So you gave that up as you grew up! My kids seldom drink sodas. Not that it's strictly forbidden, but it seems that they've never really had a taste for it. They never wanted juice when they were little, either. They still drink two glasses of milk (non-organic!) with a meal, and if we're out, they'll just ask for water with lemon. It saves on the cost of the restaurant bill, not to mention the savings at the dentist! I still can't get over how much juice Kate's kids drank. Of course, it was free, but what did it do to their teeth?

ooooo, AuntieAnn, I Love hidden pictures. I see 2 Amoebas. The big one (k) is trying to gobble up the smaller one (J).
We never had soda- which we called soft drinks or fizzy drinks- except at my aunts' houses. Fewer diet ones available then. My mother was trying to fatten me up with milk at meals. Now I'm water all the way- have to drink a lot to prevent mu kidney stones from flaring up-my daughter does not like soda drinks but my son sadly is now a Mt Dew freak.(and milk!)
We drank milk as kids, now it's unsweetened iced tea and occasionally ginger ale. I do have a weakness for CANADA DRY collins mixer, which is not available around here, which is a mixed blessing.
I don't have the ads for Kiehl's, but I do have some from NTB for free tire installation. I have no idea why, since I have never searched on the internet for tires. I haven't seen Stephanie lately. Perhaps she's very busy with holiday parties.
Oh golly gee. Now I have an ad for Lerosett for problem skin, #1 treatment for hormonal acne. I never had acne, nor do I have it now. What makes these random ads appear?

Forget the soda and the iced tea. I'm just happy with my rumspringa, thanks to Lancaster County Mom who told me about the real brewery that I never knew existed!
Let me remind Kate, as she blows $200 on makeup, of this radio interview in which she stated that the kids' savings are not even close to what they will need.

I agree 100% with Sillimom. I don't care how people want to spend their money, nor am I jealous of it or begrudge anyone doing well from spending (frankly, we need people to spend. It's good for economic recovery)--as long as they don't shaft their kids.
Cetaphil has been rated over and over by both experts and the public as one of the best cleansers out there. Gentle but effective. I've been using it for years. It's about $14 for a huge bottle. Or you could buy high rated stuff from trendy companies for $60 and up. To each his own.

How did they do it without all of the collagen-boosting, secret organic ingredients/herbs of the natives of the South Sea islands, bio-scientists' ten-year anti-aging experiments? My grandmother had flawless skin, no turkey neck, no crow's feet. I remember her using witch hazel and Palmers (whatever that was) and sometimes Ivory soap and Nozema.

Because they ate a clean, fresh diet that did not include processed foods.
Eliminate processed foods (which all contain GMO corn and sugar/HFCS), increase your intake of fresh fruits and veggies and see how your skin responds after three months.

It's genetics. Everyone in my female looks YEARS younger than we actually are - not bragging, just a fact- and my gram tanned w/o sunscreen, I visit tanning salons off and on, and we eat decently, but not organically, oh, mom and gram smoke, I dont, but I drank for years, and our skin (entire family)looks great, little wrinkling, no turkey necks. Genetics. Plain and simple. I dont hide from the sun, I worship it :D
Somewhere out in the great www, I saw the clip of Jon, Kate and the kids on Oprah..Oprah said something about money, Kate says (paraphrasing) "There is never enough money"....
Jon almost suffers whiplash from jerking his head up to look at Kate, and the look on his face said it all. KATE WAS LYING.
I think Kate has plenty of money. The kids have plenty of money. It's just 'not enough' according to Kate. There's 'never enough' with her mindset.
If it's one million, ten million, or a billion..it's just 'not enough'.
So, does anyone think Kate is following the fiscal cliff news?
hahahaha hahaha haahhahahahaha

Heather I say this with such respect because I like you and think you are a good poster. Can you please move on from the organic food topic? We get it. Sometimes you even post about it when it has nothing to do with anything. It's tiresome especially when some of what you say is so inaccurate and you want to respond but don't want to make you keep going on about it. Thank you.

My response to this is that I can assure you that I don't post misinformation.
You have to look beyond MSM/current practices for what is true regarding nutrition. For instance, after certain surgeries, in the hospital they give patients Jello and diet soda. Do you really think that is healthy for a person who has just experienced trauma and is at risk for infection?
I only mention nutrition when it is appropriate, and in this case it was a mention of how pretty our older relatives skin is. In that case it really is relevant. Cut the garbage out of your diet and your skin will improve.
Yes, I know dermatologists say that no food affects skin. Does that make ANY sense? Food affects your entire body, your heart, liver, lungs, nails, hair, stomach, etc., but somehow your skin is immune? Add in the fact that they make no money if you refuse to see them and buy their drugs/products/prescriptions.
And I say this with utmost respect: Do your own research on nutrition. Understand how foods work in your body. We have been fed a lot of misinformation regarding nutrition (no pun intended). A lot of the truth is hard to find in MSM because they are paid by advertisers who have a need to sell you a food product.
What has been happening is all the research is pointing us BACK to the way previous generations ate. All regular, full fat REAL food. Fresh food. Smaller portions. No chemicals/hormones/steroids/etc. That is a healthy way to live. (Margarine is one molecule away from being plastic, butter is much healthier for you. This is a nutritional fact from a biochemistry standpoint. Research butter, corn oil which has been promoted relentlessly as being health, and omega-3s -- butter is HANDS DOWN healthier for you.)
I only post because I care. I want people to be healthy. So many on this board have posted of health issues, some of which can be greatly improved by simply changing eating habits!!!! And so many make fun of organics simply because of Kate's obsession, which makes me want to cry. If you really understood the harm of GMOs, you would throw out the foods in your cabinets today, I have no doubts about that.
Don't believe me -- investigate it yourselves. PLEASE. Two very good documentaries are Food, Inc., and Genetic Roulette.
heather
P.S. I saw an article yesterday that claimed Ke$ha is a great role model for girls. Do I believe it? Not for a second. There is an agenda there. Same with health articles.

She probably thinks that a cliff is just wasted space where nothing can be built, like the Grand Canyon.
From a science blog website- is organic food nutritionally better than non-organic? A peer-reviewed scientific study (if you are interested)

I wish, though, I could explain my grandparents' steady diet of everything unhealthy, including red meat and pork (NEVER fish, seldom chicken), gravies, cooking with lard and butter, heavy stews, rich desserts, almost everything that isn't good for you (typical PA Dutch tradition) and yet they lived into their 90s, with no skin problems, and beautiful complexions. They didn't run, there were no treadmills, and very little exercise (they were factory workers) and they weren't overweight. They never heard the word, "organic."
Were they a fluke, was it genetics? Their parents, my great-grandparents, lived on the same diet and both sets of them had very long lifespans. I guess I'll never know...

Audible Click said... 30 AudibleWhen Kate first hooked up with R&R Marathon, I recall her yammering about running with them in Madrid. After her initial grifting spasm it was never mentioned again. It died a quiet death as do most of her grandiose plans.
So she might run in Madrid? Not Spain because who's going to foot That trip with all of her demands? So the question is it Madrid in Iowa or New Mexico or Alabama or Maine?
me-ow
Heather:
I ALWAYS appreciate your posts on food and nutrition. I've learned a lot. Keep 'em coming, girlfriend.

My father's family ate the same way as your grandparents did, and they too had very long lifespans, especially the women in the family. I suspect you have answered the question. I believe it IS genetics. In fact, I eat the same sort of diet, other than sweets. Red meat, pork, potatoes, gravies, and such I love. I believe I said here once that I don't like much of anything that is ''good for you''. I'm missing the 'sweet tooth' that Daddy and his siblings had, but when I do eat something sweet, it is usually VERY sweet!! At my last appointment with the Doctor, he said that he suspects I will live into my late 90's the way my Aunts did. Genetics are responsible, I'm sure!
rainbowsandunicorns @103 - Palmers makes a coco butter cream. It's wonderful. We use it on the bully's nose when it needs softening.
Although we do drink water, my husband and I are admitted Cokeaholics! Have to have at least 1 Coke a day.
Heather, I appreciate your posts because you say to me excactly the same (crap) stuff my business partner says to me .... daily.
I DO appreciate the knowledge and maybe someday I'll even listen to it. I appreciate your passion.
And ... I'm sure you will live longer than me.

The absolute best toner, moisturizer, firming agent and contouring facial that you can use is to separate an egg white, whip it up, put it on clean face and let it dry about 10-12 minutes (you won't be able to move your face), rinse with cold water, and pat dry. You will see and feel the effect immediately.
"You don't know how to teach me!"
Waaaaah, I'm a clumsy clod and you can't make me look good.
However, Tony DID just win the big cup, didn't he? He did teach Melissa to dance like a champion, didn't he?
Tony is a Saint. He didn't smack Kate in the face. He never beat the hell out of her or pulled her straw hair. He's a saint and for that matter, so is Jon.
If Kate was the life of some of the people I've know, she wouldn't be so smug.
I respectfully make the same request as the first Anon regarding Heather's posts.
Please don't take this the wrong way but she is a wealth of misinformation and bias. I feel exactly the same as the other Anon in not wanting to point things out because I don't want to argue with her.
Heather, you're great when you get away from that stuff.
I'm dancing with Joy in Virginia because she's fun to dance with. Thanks Joy. This dancing is very Joyful.

Improbable 146 -- Dead on. I'm addicted to books and frequently blow my budget on them. However, they are a much healthier addiction than cigarettes or alcohol or caffeine, so I continue to indulge my addiction. Sometimes I even learn new things, LOL. You'd be surprised at the information you can get from even a fluff mystery.

Remona,
Science has identified a longevity gene- if you have family that lives past 80 in each generation, then the gene runs in your family. My family has the gene. My family lives into the 90's and 100's. The earliest someone died was 78 and she was really sick. The next young was 85 and he succumbed to type 2 diabetes, he refused to take care of himself and held on 10 years after the doctors said he would die. So, it doesnt matter what we eat, long life is in the cards, we have seen it over and over, for generations. Genetics plays a huge role. Not the only role, but it is a major factor.
Kate is still tweeting to Kiehl's tonight. Clearly she is trying to piss the non-fans off. Oh isn't she just so clever! NOT!

My great-grandmother lived to be 102 and my grandfather is 88. My other grandfather was 88 when he passed away. I think I may be good! :)
I'm going to get some ambien just so I can use it to blame all my faults on. Who knew?
Also, I agree with Heather about food affecting skin. Skin is an organ after all
Marie
Marie I have noticed that drinking lots of water makes my skin glow. Of course I spend a lot of time in the bathroom when i do that....a tradeoff I guess.
That reminds me is Marie in blue out there somewhere? I enjoyed her insightful posts about this whole situation. Come back Marie! :)
Anyone remember Eddy Murphy's 'Raw' (I think it was), his HBO stand up routine, and he was reminiscing back to childhood and 1 kid would buy ice cream from the ice cream truck and tease all the other children who couldn't afford to buy any? The child would eat it in from of them and say "Want a lick?" hold it out, then pull it back quickly saying "PSYCHE!!" That reminds me of Kate and her freebies on twitter. It's like she is rubbing it in her fans and haters faces that they aren't getting what she is. "See what I got? And you didn't!! Neener Neener!!"

<------Hubby and I went out to dinner tonight....I had the kimchi soup and he had the Bulgogi (the meal that Jon cooked). It tasted as good as it looks.
Oh, I am so happy!
I get such a thrill going to twazzup.com and seeing kart's twitter account just RACING ALONG at a speed of ....
T-W-E-L-V-E tweets an HOUR !!!! !!!!
12 TPH
Man, oh man, she is just burning up the internet isn't she..... ROFLMAO.
True, this is very mean of me to point out, but it gives me pleasure to also see that aside from her arrogant bragging twits, the rest are fans and non-fans fighting with each other.
Yep, kart, that twitter account is gonna look so attractive to all those people wanting to hire you for celebrity jobs...
Keep it up, you'll go far......... into oblivion.
Ten years from now you might be a blip on one of those 'where are they now' shows. The content will be something like "kart to lose her 1300 square foot home to foreclosure as none of the kids will speak to her or loan her money. Five have gotten restraining orders against her and three are living outside the country."
Thanks for dancing along and for the encouragement, Penny and everyone else!

What about the other posters who were upset with you?
There are things for which people today SHOULD apologize for. When you realize you’ve been a jerk to a friend, apologize. When you break a promise, apologize. When you borrow your roommate’s dress and stain it, apologize.
I'm learning to stop my 'apologist' tendencies but I never want to learn to never say I'm sorry when I've upset someone.
So, it doesnt matter what we eat, long life is in the cards, we have seen it over and over, for generations. Genetics plays a huge role. Not the only role, but it is a major factor.
-------------------
I was really curious about this since I posted earlier, and so I got out the old family Bible that dates back to the Civil War era. Nearly all of my ancestors lived into their 80s and 90s. My great aunt was 104 when she died. All of these people were from PA Dutch stock, Germans, where rich, fried and fatty foods, red meat was their standard diet. Of course there were the sad cases of babies who died in infancy, but among the adults, the youngest death I could find was "seventy years and two months." With statistics like this, genetics must play an important factor.
We went out to dinner tonight and I had a salad with grilled chicken. I was thinking about the diets of my grandparents and it hit me that I never saw any of them ever eat a salad, other than dandelion from the meadow, with hot bacon and egg dressing (in the spring only). I often wondered how much of the cow poop really got scrubbed off that dandelion that they ate.
Something worked for them. They lived healthy lives on the only diet they ever knew. I'm amazed that their arteries weren't clogged with fried scrapple and maple syrup.
I myself am skeptical of any absolute statements like inorganic food is the reason for all our troubles. There are so many other factors not to mention logical fallacies. For instance, are we getting sicker, or do we just happen to live a lot longer now which results in more time and opportunities to get sick? I'm not asking for opinions on that, I'm just pointing out some logical fallacies. Another common one is, are kids really getting X and Y disease or disorder more frequently, or are we just getting better at diagnosing it which results in more reports?
I think the issue is complex and I don't mind thinking about it and hearing about it sometimes, other times I'd rather scroll.
I do believe in the heavy role of genetics....I also think nutrition and so on might play a much bigger role for some people than others. For instance someone prone to heart disease may benefit tremendously from a good diet. Whereas someone with a heart as strong as an ox can eat whatever they want their whole life and it won't matter.
We use it on the bully's nose when it needs softening.
----------------------
At first I thought you were referring to your husband and wondered why his nose needed softening! Posters have so many different names for their spouses!

The budget of the federal government will make an exception for Katie Kreider Gosselin because she had children. There are no other children or gestational carriers on the planet Earth. Katie Irene is the salvation of the human species. No rules or mathmatics apply to her. She is exaulted above all others.
