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.

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 844 Newer› Newest»I don't see how trading places with Hef's old porn star girlfriend , and having her look after the kids on camera, for a new pilot, is raising them out of the spotlight.
Kate is the only person I know who can be a pimp and a ho at the same time.What a talented multitasker!

Yes-I would definitely say that SYTTD clip proves she had some work done. Especially, the part about where they said Kate was worried about showing too much cleavage. There wasn't any cleavage to worry about!
I bet someone would be willing to pay $$$ for interviews w/the children.... whaddya say Kate?
It fulfills all your criteria- the kids are on tv, they are earning their own paycheck, and, um, honestly, somehow they could make it all about you.
It's infuriating the way she teases about upcoming projects. What projects? What? I can't stand people who play games.
Speaking of interviews with the kids I remember on that ask Kate episode Kate said the kids want her to date they want a new guy around. But when interviewed on the couch most of the kids said actually we don't want her to date we want things just as they are. It's all on film and in the recap. After that I never believed a single thing out of her mouth about how the kids really think and feel. She lost all credibility. What did she think, that they wouldn't ask the kids??
It's because all those "projects" are all in her mind.

=========================
Well I think I'm the one that pointed that out and I don't consider myself to be the "Katie Irene police". She's often said that English was her best subject and she is a published "author" and as such I'd assume that she knows that *there're* is not an actual word. When I saw her tweet that just stood out to me and I found it funny.
I did some surfing looking at various photos of the kids. It struck me that the photos I saw the Gosselin children were separate from other kids. All their lives they've had cameras in their faces, gone on trips, yada, yada, yada. They are different than their peers. Not just their there are six of them, but because they didn't interact with other children (probably until they went to school). Instead they mostly had adults in their lives. Okay, they did play with Aunt Jodi's kids...for a while.
The way the kids have been raised so far, their expectations of adults are scewed. Adults fetched, played, did whatever they needed to do to make the kids camera ready. Got the make money for Mommy you know. In real life adults don't do that.
They are growing up knowing they are different and expect adults to do something for them.
On the otherhand the McCaughney kids were raised out of the limelight and seem well adjusted. The documentary I saw were children doing homework, their chores, participating in sports, behaving. You know, normal kids.
The Gosselin kids have potential to be normal, but have been (are?) being raised in abnormal environment. This is a very sad saga.
Of course, this is all just my opinion.
Penny 196,
The new Grisham book is fabulous! He is such a detailed plot and character writer. Love his work. Definitely worth buying, IMHO.
What adventures Kate? You take them no where, do nothing with them. They go to school or spend ime with their father. You are the one looking for free trips. You've obviously not hurting for money, to STFU
Kate said, "All that electronic equipment is so expensive."
8888888888888888
But it's okay for HER to spend $200 on beauty products for herself that last only a few months?
Kate has shown her self to be a hypocrite once again. She made a big deal about giving the tups ipods for christmas. She gave both of the twins iphones for their birthday. Those are way more expensive and come with a monthly fee.
So this struggling mom who saves money baking her own bread and slicing her own meat thinks she deserves to flit off across the country to party whenever she feels like it. What this tw*t doesn't understand is that we have all concluded that scrimping on the kids means she can blow off to Vegas to have some fun. Does she think we haven't put two and two together yet? You don't bake bread and slice meat and cry poor and then live like a rockstar when you have a custody-free weekend. Most of us run marathons locally and do the odd out of state/province marathon occasionally if at all. Not this rich bitch. Going to Vegas on a Friday night is party time for Kate. Has to get away from that stressful life she engineered. I loathe this woman more than ever. She is truly despicable to the core.

Kate has been writing in her journal for two years now that she has been praying that God give her another show. She just can't believe it hasn't happened yet. Why can't God help her? So she takes to Yahoo, the only outlet that will take her, to try to get the message out to God and everyone else that will listen, that her kids really, truly want to film again. It is their lifelong dream. They will never be happy again if they can't film their lives. God are you listening?
************************************************
If I were Kate, I would be very careful what I ask God. One of these days, she's going to find herself at the wrong end of a lightening bolt.

Back away slowly from the ambien. If your car is a 1992, then it is 20! count em 20! years old, hon, not 12! Mine is a Mazda too! but it's a 626, they dont even make em anymore, so mine is a collectors item! Well, your's might be a Stephen Hawking experiment in space and time by now, so you might win there.
Did I tell you guys that I thought I saw Kate's face engraved on a rock in the yard this morning? Turns out it was petrified dog poo; but for a minute there I had eBay plan$, I'll tell ya! I was gonna call the local stations, get my hair done for my media tour...

I seem to have developed tennis elbow from crocheting. Sigh. I cant tell you how debilitating this is; one tends to USE one's right arm especially if one is right handed. Double Sigh.
I am wearing a brace like I'm supposed to, taking Meloxicam and tylenol. Does anyone have any additional suggestions?

I often get the ad for Extenze. Admin commented that "they" make educated guesses as to what we would be interested in. Looks like epic fail on that guess.

Plastimobile - The toyota pickup is 20. The Mazda is 12. I use to have a 626 many moons ago - see great minds think alike :) (I also had a GLC and a Miser...Mazda's have been good to us). Keep in mind we are the people that had a AMC Gremlin. 2 of them. Brag. In fairness, my 12 year old Mazda Protoge has a whopping 30,452 miles on it. So it's kinda like new. We keep hoping somebody will steal the pickup. Even Goodwill doesn't want it. When it runs it's good for hauling yard waste to the dump, bulk mulch, moving deck furniture back and forth from storage. It's like family. But without a soul and DNA. Because it's a thing.
OK - Now my ad is for Toyota Black 10 Days - 3 days left. Which is totally weird because our toyota is dark green.

Buy an aluminum tennis racket. They're not as heavy as the wooden ones.
If you get the bum elbow from playing tennis, it's a tennis elbow. If you get it from crocheting, it's crochet elbow. Get it straight, please. Misdiagnoses are so annoying.
My ads keep urging me to get a degree I already have, or to click here and print out White Paper, which is somehow supposed to cure my financial problems. That one makes me want to put my tin foil hat on.
My ads are sexist they always think I want to do things like buy stain fighting spray or go grocery shopping.

@frkofnatr omg! did you check out @kateplusmy8 's use of really really really? Complete BEGGING! 8 yr olds want iPads? Tell them NO!!!
Did Kate say the kids want iPods or iPads? There's a huge difference in cost. An iPod shuffle is fifty dollars or less. An Apple iPad is pricy.
I miss Stephanie. She was so close, and yet so far.
She said ipods. The new ipods (the ipod touch) really aren't that much cheaper than an average ipad actually. They START at $299 and if you want any decent amount of space for storing music you're paying 399. Ipads start at 499.
You can get a smaller nano or mini for 150 bucks or under. But that's not what she said. She said ipod. That implies the real thing, not the smaller ones. But like I said if she gets her lazy butt on amazon she could get all eight of them an older addition of the ipad for pennies. I just saw an old version of the ipod shuffle for 18 bucks. That should satisfy a kid.
In any case I don't care what she wants to buy her kids, I just find it despicable the way she made them seem so spoiled, out of touch, and greedy. I hate how she portrays them in such a bad light. They are not bad kids as far as I can tell. In fact they seem like very down to earth kids who are content to go get frozen yogurt and cuddle with the family dog, rather than obsessed with overpriced electronics and lengthy Christmas lists.

&&&&&&&&&&&&
Wouldn't an iPod Shuffle for $49 be just fine for a kid? They don't need all the bells and whistles, do they...just a place to store music.
Oh I would think a shuffle would be just fine for a kid. But I don't think Kate was thinking of a shuffle when she was going on about the expense.
Am I the only one here, in the 21st century, that's never had an iPod? And to embarrass myself further, for awhile I didn't even know what an iPod WAS!

That was my point, NJGal51. It's hysterical! I squirmed, every time Kate would attempt to correct Jon in regard to his English skills- only to question herself, in the same breath.
"SHE and C... Oh no, that should be C and HER! You're right, Jon."
Unreal. You will never see me using *There're* on this Blog. Somehow, my "Katie's grammar policing" was taken out of context. (It happens often with me, as I have been known to 'mince words' ;)
Kate's not the English pro she claims to be... (and put others down in the process). It cracks me up. My words were lost in translation on you as they say, NJ.
I bought a really good MP3 (tiny, cute, large capacity & great sound) player for around $40.00. I could've easily afforded a high-end iPod, but why? Sometimes brand names are worth the price, but sometimes you're paying (let's admit it) for the status that brand name implies.
Flight of the Kiwi, yes, indeed, you win! Dinner for thirty is the winner!
Speaking of winners, since it is now December 1 on the east coast, it is DAY FOR OF THE EIGHT DAYS OF HAPPY DANCING!!!!!!!! SAINT TONY AND MELISSA WON DANCIN WITH THEM THAR STARS!!!!!!!!
Kate is aTwit, I have been listening to radio stations with Christmas music today, and yes have been dancing to music from the Peanuts Christmas special. Dwindle, I am pushing fluids so I won't get dehydrated, and older dd has helped me stay on a sugar high with yummy cupcakes she made, with this thingie that she can fill them with frosting! What will they think of next?!
Moose mania, love you twelve days of grifting lyrics. Kristine, happy... Weekend! Yeah, that's the ticket!
I hope Tony and Melissa get a People magazine cover, that would be extra super sparkly!
I am sure I will calm down after the Eight Days Of Happy Dancing!!!!!!!! At least the family hopes so.
Did someone say grammar police?
My favorite? When a major curfuffle happens on Kate's Twitter feed. The Sheeple... not knowing how to react say-
"What a much TO DO, about nothing."
It is funny, NJ. They are so busy watching 'Shakespeare In Love', they have no clue. Although, I'll give them a hint... ADO! ADO! ADO!
Here's another baa...
http://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/2080738-much-ado-about-nothing
I just read that, Joy. Good grief, girl!
I hope you're not still dancing like Jennifer Beals. Sorry about the typos... I was exhausTed.
(A maniac, on the dance floor- Go Tony! BTW- Kate voted & was rooting for Pammy from the very beginning. LIAR.)
Kris on Blogger?
Yes. Kate ran with Rod Dixon, and I think it was in Vegas. Great catch. I might go back to my old Monster Mommy handle, so you can have Kristine if you so desire.
I bet the kids want the fancier Ipod. The one that can load apps, play games, music and connect to internet for some things. (my granddaughter has one and tells me this stuff but I don't understand it at all) I can't see them wanting one just for music.
Kate said she wanted her kids to have the best so unless she's making up the story about what they're asking for, she'd shouldn't be whining about it.
As for the Toys for Tots, that has re-gifting or in her case re-grifting written all over it. Kate spend money on needy kids? pfffft
Well, I have to admit it. I viewed the Twitter feed for a minute, around sundown. There was a faint sound of McCoy gunfire, in the distance.
I learned that Kate has now masterminded her way, into controlling her childrens' X-mas plans She then interviewed for an article about it. Jon = No Kids.
"There are actually 3 articles about Kate. There are 2 Yahoo articles(one is Yahoo Canada) and a Gather article."
___________________________________
Thanks, Twit @5-ish. I haven't read them yet. Rolling another bus... Kate's holiday squash.
I do sincerely hope they are not leaving it up to these poor kids where they want to spend their holiday. They are far too young for such pressures. I have never, ever seen such young kids given such control. Most adults realize the pressure, guilt and confusion such a big decision on their shoulders creates is detrimental to their emotional health. I urge Kate and Jon not to put such adult decisions on their kids and just follow their regular holiday schedule whatever it is.
Hey Kate!
While I was flipping through channels tonight, I saw an infomercial from Keurig. They are slinging their new product line. Jennie Garth was the slinger...they put her in a tricked-out RV along with her best friend,and sent them all over the US to sell their product.
If you weren't such a greedy,fake bitch...it might have been you.But instead,they picked a genuine person. A single mother of 3 with class!
I bet that made you'r coffee go cold...move on kate,nothing more to see here.
Re: Kate's "articles" today
1) Apparently she no longer merits a US or People cover. Not even a radio show. Forget a talk show. Nope. She is reduced to giving interviews to Yahoo. Wow. If it were me, I'd take that as some sort of a sign. In any case, this is small potatoes and I wouldn't pay it much mind. Treat it for what it is - a has been, washed out and washed up former reality celebrity giving an interview to an online entertainment gossip site in an effort to stay relevant.
You know, when Jon came out of "retirement" in March after the contract was up, he at least merited several US magazine articles and a People cover.
Chew on that Kate.
2) As has been pointed out, what Kate says the kids want and what the kids are saying they want are usually two different things. However, I'm going to abstain from speculating on this because frankly it's none of my business where the kids are for the holidays. This is something Jon and Kate need to come to an agreement on. I trust that they will.
3) She isn't saying anything concrete about her new show because it hasn't been picked up yet. It will surprise me if it is.
4) I doubt the kids are jumping up and down begging her to film, however I think they realize that Mom is happier when she's filming which makes their lives easier. Mom focuses on her show and she leaves the raising of the kids to the nannies and Dad.
5) Not sure if the kids will be able to be filmed (It's been a year and I think Jon could make a case with the court that not being filmed has been beneficial to their overall quality of life, i.e. doing better at school, etc.) and even if they are it will be much different than it was when she had (Jon &) Kate+8. At least there are better provisions in place - set teacher, money set aside for kids in their own accounts that parents can't touch, etc.

She needs to cut out the Yahoo middleman and get God's direct twitter hashtag. It's this:

I took the night off last night and come back to over a hundred posts to read. I haven't gone through all of them yet, so forgive me if this has already been said:
Millicent 155 said "Hey Kate - here's how you can 'document' your children's adventures. Buy a little video camera and video birthdays, holidays and other fun family events." Then how about giving Jon a copy of those videos? I bet he'd love to see all those fun times you so pointedly exclude him from. And don't they already have a video camera? She mentions M&C "making movies" frequently. Of course, doing something like that would mean actually thinking about someone else for a change. So my guess is it's not gonna happen.
December 1st!!!!
Aaaaaaaaaargh!
So much for my grand plan of being finished with shopping before today. : (
Last year I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off, cursing up a storm at the Square 1 shopping megaplex...rude people banging into you, stealing parking spots, lineup after lineup! Not very Festive. : /
NOT this year! My new plan is be done by Dec 7th!!!
How is everyone else managing ? Anybody finished yet?
Readerlady.....62. And Millicent too!
GREAT idea! That would be such a classy thing for Kreider to do but, well.....Kate doesn't do classy very well.
Plus....remember guys.....those little kids HONESTLY want the cameras, booms, bright lighting, rehearsals and 8 retakes per joyous Gosselin scene recording their precious moments. NOT just Mom taping them, screaming like a banshee, yapping on and on about 'if we had a show' we'd be filming this at Disney World or from the top of the Eiffel Tower...and we all know how badly those KIDS so want to go to Paris!
The ad on the top of my page is for Igloo Dog Houses. They got it right - I'm looking for one for the Husky half of my dog Annie.The Keeshond half prefers to stay inside and cuddle.
I have ads for on-line gaming and weight loss products...not interested in either! But I do miss Stephanie too! She was one of us...sigh.
My ads are for t-shirts with a pug's head on them!
Pottery Barn and Nordstrom ads here. Sheesh! Do they think my name's Kate??
I have ads for plus size clothing, a credit union and Red Roof Inn. Well, 2 out of 3 isn't bad. I admit to needing plus size clothing, and when I travel, I try to stay at RR when possible.
Finally finished all the posts I missed yesterday. Looks like Admin did a bit of swiffering, but it doesn't sound like the sheeple invasion was too bad. They're probably all waiting on tippy-toes, slavering with anticipation, for any news about KKs Vegas adventures. I certainly hope the kids are with Jon.
It's been a while since I've been able to get on my laptop, there were keyboard issues, but I just want to thank everybody for your kind words an encouragement. Things are starting to look up again, I have a lot to look forward to this weekend so I am trying to keep my spirits high. You all are truly exceptional. Thanks again and have a wonderful weekend!
My ad is for American Express Gold Card - hmmm
OT - strange thing is happening - on my iPad - when I go to this site - it just throws me back out - on my iPod - all is ok - and my laptop is ok too. (OK - remember I am a technology consultant so these are my work things lol) btw - I don't get ads on my iPod.
Still shaking my head in disbelief over the Yahoo article. I really think no one actually ever interviews her, she and JCM conjure up a glowing puff piece and submit it for someone to pick up. Actually, 9 out of 10 puff pieces surveyed think that that drivel gives puff pieces a bad name.
She doth protest too much. The kids want to be with meeeeee, the kids have a voice now and waaaaant to film, single mother Kate does much of the child raising herselllllllllllf. As far as the kids having a voice now, yes, she is correct. However, they are not using their newfound voices to screech that they want to be filmed again. They are using those voices to tell responsible people about the lies their mother demands they keep. And about treatment they know is not ok.
The purpose of this article was to fish for donations of high end gifts for her kids. Don't want to pay for a 5,000 sq. foot beach house? Publicly whine and cry about not being able to afford to take your kids on vacation. Kids want ipods for Christmas? Find someone to interview you and make sure you get that in there. I just can't say this enough, it is unconscionable that this woman would accept a penny of free gifts for her children who attend an extremely expensive private school and live in a mansion. There are laws about this, but Kate manages to skirt them with her subtle-as-a lead balloon hint dropping, then her "who am I to say no?" response when the desired goodies drop in her lap. Toys for Tots? Putting the unwanted gifts from your sheeple in a Toys for Tots box doesn't cut it, Kate. Your fans who have very little money to spend are buying gifts and paying for shipping all so you can drop it in a box? Still a waste of time & money, still NOT ok.
Who are you, Kate? A cheat. A liar. A disgusting excuse for a human. A child abuser. A cindictive vunt. A user. An ungrateful opportunist. I could go on & on but those are the first couple which come to mind.

Love the deals I get in the US!!! Happy to say I'm almost done my shopping. I don't do well in crowded stores and if I can't find a parking spot I go ballistic. Have a Gr8 day!!
Jane, thanks for the suggestion. Where are my manners?? Good grief. Maybe I'll go back to bed and start then day over.
It's interesting Kate mentions the kids wanting the more expensive electronic stuff that she is seeming to balk at buying while SHE herself owns a ipod, bose earplugs and $150-200 'running' shoes. If she is capable of owning these things then do the same for the kids. While I don't beleive they really put ipods on their xmas lists---and this is the first time I have heard of them making their own lists and giving to Kate---the ipods won't really improve the quality of their lives overall. Even my 8 years old nephew wouldn't have cared for one. Its her way of getting someone to pick up her xmas shopping bill. So very stuble way to fool someone. It sounds like begging to me.
Kate is never gonna change. It's dispiriting.I just hope her kids learn better values form school,church if they go, and other people in their lives.

Jane, thanks for the suggestion. Where are my manners?? Good grief. Maybe I'll go back to bed and start then day over.

LOL! It's okay : )
Tweet-le De Tweet-le DUMB--are you also aware that Dell sells refurbished computers at a lower price than new ones? They come with a new computer warranty. My SIL got mine for me four years ago and it's still going strong.
Totally OT but saw this video today and just had to share, it's super cute and funny!
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N_NspDWssIY
Nasty bitch that I can be, was sorta hoping our soggy LA weather might be extending east to Las Vegas. Not to be. But then I realized I sorta kinda no longer care very much. I really think that life in PA for this former self-absorbed not a stah is going to become and remain a flat line in 2013. This can only be a good thing.
All I'll say is that it is nice that they donate to Toys for Tots. For all I don't like about her (which is a lot), I can acknowledge when she actually does a nice thing. Maybe it is reg(r)ifts from the sheeple that she donates, I don't know, but at least less fortunte kids will get some great toys. Seriously, it is nice to see her give back occassionally. (Of course, she said her kids can't believe that some other children "don't have a Christmas" - so having a Christmas is only defined by being rich and getting a lot of material items?)
Now if only she can work on her narcissism, child exploiting ways, laziness, bitterness toward Jon and obsessive parental alienation ...
The shameless act of begging for gifts by the gestational carrier of the Gosselin children is reprehensible! Of course she does not come right out and say it—but we all know why she publicizes their gift list. Oh, and the Toys for Tots thing that suddenly came up seems to have a connection with a LV event—admission to it asks for a contribution for the TFT charity. How convenient, don’t you think? Sorry if I sound so jaded, but for a woman who traded her children and husband for a Hollywood dream of stardom that will continue to be evasive, has the ring of a modern Greek tragedy. It truly is so sad. As a Christian, I struggle with my contempt for this woman, while trying to pray that she somehow finds her way. I still believe in a God of miracles…it could happen if there truly was a belief in the Bible since there were verses posted during those early years. Kate Gosselin, if you are reading this, remember “a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise” (Psalm 51:17).
Tweet - sorry for the delay - out buying snow boots.
Yes, Yes, Yes, Dell is the way to go - I have 4 systems running everything from XP to Windows 7 (Not bragging - this is my work, ok) My main laptop is a dell and they never (knock on wood) seem to fail. It's also fun to track the ups shipment. You can talk to them online as well. Watch for flyers over the coming weeks - they really discount stuff at this time of the year.
DH put Windows 8 on one of his computers and it cleaned off his hard drive - air was blue that day!!
Good Luck.
Add on top for Dell now!! and the sidebar is for poise - they trying to say something? Like the prices will scare the xxx out of you?
It's so obvious that Milo's in love. And sick, very sick.

It is sad. I think she is in love with her. This really is like texts OH and I used to send during the giddy in love stage. Now it's, Baby we're out of milk and juice! LOL terribly romantic.
We need to screen Catfish at some point too. Another thing is that, given Milo has never even met Kate, she is in love with a fantasy. Just like in Catfish.
What "expo" by the way? I thought it was just the marathon tomorrow.
Lbelle, in answer to your question, I am on top of the shopping this year! I don't know how I managed to do this because I usually am running around the day before Christmas Eve. I only have 2 gifts to get and then I'm though, EXCEPT for the little extras I will continue to pick up for my boys right up until we mail the packages!
Once you go mac.....you'll never go back.
By the way I think I figured out one reason there may sometimes be a posting problem. On some browsers if I'm not signed into google it will still let me post but just prompt me to sign it after I click publish. But on others if I'm not signed in it will act funky and won't let me post at all. So, a tip. If you are having trouble posting trying clicking the sign in button at the top right and sign into google first. Then try.
For those in the LA area there are several opportunities to see Victorian Christmases this weekend (displays, people dressed up, houses decorated), one in Wilmington, one in Burbank and one in Fullerton. Google it. I'll be photographing!
Rock-n-Roll has a health expo before each event that you must attend to pick up your shirt, bib, and timing chip. Lots of vendors there selling stuff and handing out freebies like stickers, energy bars, shoelaces, etc.
Correction: I only have 2 gifts left to get and then I'm through. I need to really proof read better!
I don't know if it's a girl crush Milo has on Kate or if she's trying to be motherly towards her. Wake up sleepy head is the kind of thing a mom says to her kids. She'd better be careful about doing that though. Kate has this nasty habit of ditching her relatives if they get in her way.
Freebies? She's there!
Oh yes. She'll be grifting freebies X8 for stocking stuffers. If I were a vendor I'd be really annoyed with her.

That sounds wonderful! Too bad I'm on the other coast - have a great time : ) Had an email from my nephew who's working in a small town south of London for 6 months. They're doing an authentic Dickens festival this weekend. Apparently Dickens lived and wrote in the town. Authentic food, clothing, music and folks reading A Christmas Carol. How glorious is that?!
OMG animal planet - puppy bowl - hysterical & free until Jan 2
I seriously doubt 6 eight-year-olds remember all the "good times" they had filming, and from what I saw on camera, Cara was not interested. Seems to me that Kate's pronouncement that the kids have voices now means she is gearing up to fight Jon if any filming opportunities come up. What is really going on about Xmas and filming? Bribery and parental alienation.

I seriously doubt it too. That's Kate talking. She still thinks everyone wants to see her and her eight running around the planet enjoying their paid for vacations? Yeah, sure Kate. You just keep hoping there girl.

One the other hand, perhaps K should have Milo's phone "chipped" to track her.
I imagine we would be speechless if we knew all the gifts, freebies, and samples that she receives.
Shoka, here boy - whistle sounds. Are you silent be cause you also had to sign a confidentially agreement to not reveal your location?
Thank you to all the well wishers. Ampers is home with her family We still don't know what caused this. She is an older dog so that may be all it is. Sorry I did not post an update yesterday evening, did not have internet. We do know this was not caused because she had to eat some critter in our yard just to survive. Yeah, that is my FU to Kate.
As far as Kate and her marathons go. I really wish she would pull a Forest Gump and just start running and not stop. Those kids would be so liberated!
I seriously doubt 6 eight-year-olds remember all the "good times" they had filming,
&&&
They have video of it so I bet they are "remembering" the video but I highly doubt they remember the actual events other than the last season or so and even then it's not going to be much.
Think about it, how many things do you really remember from kindergarten? Most people will say well I remember when my little brother was born, and I remember my kindergarten teacher, and I remember the first day in class. But beyond that you don't have the kind of strong detailed memories that develop as your brain does.
It was not about the memories. It was about the other M word, the money.
God, Milo, "rock the town"? Don't you know Kate is gearing up for her personal best time tomorrow? No booze for Kate today you silly goose. However, I do look forward to her carb report tomorrow after she kicks ass in the race. Pizza or brownies or fettucini alfredo Kate? Oh and lots of red wine I bet...lots and lots. Go home and run a race in your community you useless wanker. Contrary to what you would like to believe, I'm pretty sure Las Vegas could care less that you are there. But if Stevie is there with you, I guess you are still fearing for your life huh?
I have a 1994 isuzu truck with 51,000 original miles. I just replaced the original tires last month.
Ok, I admit. My dad, who just used it for hauling supplies when working on his homes, gave it to me just before he passed. Since, I have been taking care of my mom so I don't drive it much either. I do enjoy the look on peoples faces when I tell them the miles. Their eyes light up and they say you kidding. It gives me a chuckle. Thanks dad, your a source of a smile even when you not with me anymore.
Kate is a twit and Lilly, thanks for the feedback! I just talked to my cuz, he's going to research it. Yay! Better him than me. He likes doing that kind of stuff.
Regarding Milo, giving people pet names is a sign of familiarity. People who understand personal boundaries don't do that to people they hardly know, it's intrusive, rude and creepy. Is Milo trying to impress the fans that she and Kate are best buds? That's creepy, too.
I guess Milo got over whatever was upsetting her about Kate. She is just like a DV victim, upset for a few days, then forgets about it and everything is back to normal back to their perp.

JFK Jr. said the same thing once in an interview. They were asking him about memories of his father and he said he isn't sure if he has actual memories or if it's just the film and photos that have created his memories.
@ ampersmom - so glad to hear she is home safe and sound now! Pour yourself a nice sip of Rumspringa, you deserve it!
I don't know if it's a girl crush Milo has on Kate or if she's trying to be motherly towards her.
=======================
I vote for girl crush. No mother slobbers over a daughter's gorgeous, sexy legs, or has a fixation on her child's grow-a-boyfriend, or walking hand in hand into the sunset (as Milo wrote awhile back), or having dinner waiting for her when she got home at the end of the day. This is an adult thing that goes beyond creepy.
If I were Kate, this fixation on me would scare me to death and I'd avoid it the only way I knew how, which would be throwing her a few bones now and then to keep her happy, until all she would get would be crumbs, and then nothing.
Then lock your doors, hope and pray that he/she/it doesn't show up at the gate. Seriously, though, this "relationship" has disaster written all over it, and I really hope that nothing horrible happens.

I had never heard of this before it was mentioned here. I watched "Catfish: The TV Show" last night, two episodes, Kim and Matt, and Scorpio and ?? (can't remember her name). Very interesting! In keeping with the sheeples' obsession with Kate (especially Milo), we should screen Catfish.

When Milo started this creepiness, I thought it was just an over-the-top crush on a "star." When you hover over someone, giving a wake-up call, telling someone it's time to get moving, and then wishing that movements could be tracked, this borders on stalking. It's that "tracking" thing that would scare the you-know-what out of me. Isn't this how dangerous internet stalkers work? They start out as fans, get closer to the celebrity in whatever way they can, set themselves up to be buddies, convince themselves (and others) that they are closer than close, and then what? Nothing good can come from this.
At first I thought it was funny, and now I think it's anything but that. She is in love with Kate, and rather than Milo giving Kate a 9 a.m. courtesy call, someone needs to give Kate a wake-up call and lay it on the table as to what can really happen when a fan's obsession turns deadly.
Would Kate listen? Probably not, but at least she would be warned.
Tweet -- Check with rent to own places like Aarons for previously rented laptops, places like Best Buy or other electronics stores for floor models, and check Amazon Market Place and Ebay. Some companies sell their laptops, etc. on ebay and they come with the factory warranty. I got my first laptop that way, paid about 1/2 price, it came with a year's factory warranty and 1 month free tech support. Also, sometimes schools will sell things like surplus computers. Don't know what kind of condition they'd be in, though.
Paper plates....
I have never gone over the border to specifically shop. My I laws go every October...into Penn....and swear by it. Do you find really great deals?
LoveMG.....ha ha! It is so cute how you are with your beloved boys! Just keep buying and buying and buying! It's so hard NOT to, isn't it? I tend to do the same thing! : )
Thank you, I guess I stand corrected. I must have missed the walking into the sunset hand-in-hand tweet.
============
I don't remember exactly when it was, but it when Milo was tweeting about her walks by the pond. She said she could picture the two of them walking at dusk, looking at the gorgeous sunset together. She tweeted it more than once. It was enough to gag a maggot.
I'm off to the store. I have coupons for brain bleach. Should I pick some up for you? Then it's on to the toy store...do you need a Dora swimming mermaid, an annoying Furby, a Disney Princess Lego Playhouse, or a Weebles Tree House? They wobble, but they don't fall down...kind of like me with too many rumspringa. I wobble and try to stay off the floor.
I just got a breaking news release where one of the Kansas City Chiefs shot his girlfriend and went to the stadium to thank the coaches for all they had done for him and shot himself in front of them and the police who had just arrived. He and his girlfriend have a baby together. So sad for all of them.
Lbelle, we already have their main gifts, and now I just pick up the stocking stuffers, little things from Dollar Tree, etc. I bought big stockings for them to make sure they will hold the little do-dads I pick up.
How are you feeling these days, Lbelle? I had my prayer group this morning and we prayed for you. I hope things are going well, Sweetie.
Wayward72- Mr.Modo and I are laughing our asses off at "Cindictive Vunt".
Mr.Modo says that Kate has been a Vunt for some years now, 48 hours a day, and a useless Vunt to boot.
The word will be in general usage around our house from now on. Yank Thou!
If anyone has seen Catfish, Kate is Angela. A mentally unstable woman (Angela said in an interview she was diagnosed schizophrenic) creating an imaginary perfect life.
And here comes Milo Junior:

Ew.
Hold on- this could be good old karma doing it's job.
Kate likes to disgard people like used tissues- but, I think that she's going to have a hell of a time trying to get of Milo.
This is not going to end well.
California Susie: while your Bible verse was very appropriate and one that all Christians should adhere to, I sincerely doubt Kate will or would return to her Christian roots after getting her taste of fame and fortune....I think Kate has chosen her verse to live by: "do not be like a dog that returns to it's own vomit". She keeps going back to grifting, lying, and me, me, me give me a show actions. We all know what she does with her dog when he vomits! Shoka?!?! Hopefully, God will not take the same attitude with her....
Well, the "Amish mafia" appears to be a group of 3 (count 'em).
Another show I won't be watching.

Hope I'm not to late but ShopNBC has an Acer that is W8 but can be W XP or 7. Walmart might have it too.
I have a small Acer and its a good little laptop. A little slow now (2008) but never had a problem, unlike my high end Tosheba or Dell. The Dell was the worst.
My first computer was a red IMAC that my son and DIL gave me for b'day way back in 1999. Love that computer. Still have, still works but way out of date. Been looking on line for suggestions about what to do with it. Some mentioned making a fish tank out of it. Others are holding on until it becomes collectible. I love it for the sentental value.
Lbelle, it's not just the deals but the quality and variety of stuff you can get in the US too. I got a beautiful Ralph Lauren sweater that retailed for $100 and it was half price yesterday.
All you Americans out there.....you have the best shopping!
I still can't get my head around the fact that Kate is making it public news, that the kids want to be with her for their Christmas break.
Something tells me, Jon was nowhere near the kids when the discussion took place. I see it going something like this...
Kate: "H, honey? Would you rather spend a gift-filled holiday weekend here with Mommy, or go to your Dad's? We will be having FUN, FUN, FUN here! Candy, and super surprises!"
H: "Sure, okat Mommy I'll stay here!"
Kate: "L, honey? I'll bet you want to spend X-mas with your sister-girl *Hxxxy*, right sweetie? You two are inseparable!"
Perhaps the remaining half dozen, suddenly fell into line- with Kate's 'evil holiday vacation time' plan.
Way to alienate the kids from their father, and publishing articles in support of this behavior is sick.
Another thing parental alienators do is guilt trip. Mommy will be so so sad without you. You dont want to leave mommy along on xmas do you? Whereas the healthy parent who doesnt guilt trip and is supportive loses.
Kate continues to lump her children in to units. Do ALL 6 of her children want iPods for Christmas? It just strikes me as odd that there is never any of their individuality expressed by their mother. It is the height of laziness on her part to continually refer to them in two, distinct groups. Six of them want this, the other two want that!
"We don't do Santa" There is no magic in their household is there? The only magic for Kate was when a television show turned her into a TV reality star. No Santa, just a pre-Christmas talk with them about expenses just before she jets off to Vegas for a completely gratuitous weekend.
She is despicable.
An old employer bought us Acers for work purposes. I actually really liked it. For the money, it will do everything you need.
Dani Cordero @DaniC910
Just started re-watching Kate plus 8 on Netflix. I love it!! @Kateplusmy8
&&&
I hate to break it to this sheeple but Kate Plus 8 isn't ON Netflix. Not streaming or the DVDs. It doesn't exist.
Paper Plates,
I have been getting awesome deals on Ralph Lauren tops- my winter wardrobe is now replenished w/sweaters and turtle necks at great prices :D
Jumping In, I agree with you about gifts for the kids. I do not believe for a minute that all 6 tups want the same exact thing, and that both of the twins want the same exact thing. Kate has been too lazy to actually get to know her 8 INDIVIDUAL children, to know their likes, dislikes; their talents and interests. She treats them as 2 groups because it's easier for her to handle; to hell with what the kids actually are like or want.
I don't mean to bring up my grandsons again (okay, yes I do!), but we know their individual interests. We brought them Thanksgiving puzzle pages when we saw them last week. We know that the older one is now into hidden picture games and the younger one is into mazes. So they each received in their packets the pages that interested them and that they like.
Kate does what is easiest for her because she is lazy and doesn't have to spend the time then to look for individual gifts; she go with the group gifts as a good old standby. Otherwise, she would be too exhausted!
Kate literally describes these kids as if they were one person split into six bodies. I have no CLUE what their personalities are or individual interests are, none. That said, it's none of my business and I'm not saying I would want her to talk about that, I'm just saying when she does talk about these kids it's bizarre and unhealthy the way they are like one person. They all like the same things, say the same things, want to be at the same places at the same time, eat the same things, there is never any disagreement. It's just not credible.
I have at least three sets of twins in my life in some form and everyone is always talking about how different they are from each other, not how alike they are.
Oh another reason why letting kids this young decide where to go for the holidays--pack mentality. If the majority of the group wants to be somewhere, and maybe only two or three want to be somewhere else, those two or three may feel shy and uncomfortable expressing disagreement since the vocal majority wants to do something. This goes both ways. It's not a good idea for EITHER parent to put it on their shoulders what they want.
As far as Kate supposedly letting the kids decide where to spend the holidays, I don't believe her because she is such a liar. If the kids chose Jon, she would never admit it anyway; she always tries to portray herself as the supreme mother whose kids never want to leave her and that's just not true because we know how much the kids love Jon. They have shown that over and over again in pictures with him vs pictures with Kate.
Also, Kate is an idiot to always publicize where these kids will be at givin times. Because they are so well known, it's just not smart. I publicized that I was going to spend Thanksgiving with my grandsons, but no one knows what I look like, where I live, what they look like, or where they live. Her lack of common sense for the safety of those kids just astounds me.

Here's a pic of the expo. Looks like lots of freebies to be had. She must be doing a happy dance. Would it kill her to check in with her supportive and loyal fans? Oh right, she's having too much fun getting free shit to bother.
We should expect nothing else from a woman who has the mentality of a 12-year-old to say the kids choose to be with her, when there is video tape of a BBB full of kids screaming and crying that they don't want to go home. They want to stay with their dad.
She's just so freaking jealous of Jon because he's found happiness and she is stuck in a place she hates. She has no one to lean on but that dipstick Steve and a few pathetic fans and tweeties. She is seething with jealousy of Jon and it's shows more and more with each lousy interview she gives.
it shows, not it's shows. geez proofread much?
Auntie Ann, I agree that Kate is not only jealous of Jon, but she is still angry with him for her "perception" of what he took from her when he wanted to stop the show. She is so bitter over that she will never forgive him, and will keep throwing him under the bus every chance she gets.
In my opinion, Kate blames Jon for all of her problems (as others have said as well), and that if he would have just continued to play along, in her warped mind, the gravy train could have gone on until the tups were 18. Now we all know that that's not realistic, but we also know that Kate is extremely delusional.
Picking a fight with Jon's girlfriend in such a public manner shows just how jealous she is. So jealous she can't even pause and realize making this public is a bad, bad idea.
I think what pisses her off is that the courts won't let Kate cut Jon off. She LOVES to cut people off when they are of no use to her. Jon is the one person she legally cannot do that to, and it drives her crazy. She is a control freak and can't control him or his access to the kids and it drives her batty.
They won't let you, Kate, and they won't let Halle Berry either. Deal with it.
Great point, Admin! She can't cut Jon off, but we all know she would love to. She even made that comment once in an interview, I think, stating that since he sees the kids so rarely, he shouldn't have any say about decisions with them. I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember the exact quote. But it was clear that she was PO'd because Jon's opinion counted. She is so immature and has always seen them as her kids alone.
Halle put her house up for sale, I wonder when Kate is going to do the same. I can't see her hanging on that place much longer if she can't find a job, not even a mediocre one.
I know judges who would strip HER of custody for this crap she does, give full custody to Jon and her monitored visits with orders to do licensed therapy, anger management, domestic violence for perpetrators, and a 52 week probation approved parenting class before you ever come back wanting anything to change. Done.
Did she? I heard through the grapevine that when the authorities have gone over to her house she is always super paranoid asking if they have seen any paparazzi. Everyone has said to her.....um, why don't you put a gate up? Then you won't have to peek out from your windows so much like a crazy person.
But the thing is she LOVES it, she doesn't want a gate up. She wants them out there.
Making an 8 year old choose between their parents is horrible. Horrible. And then she draws the line in the sand with Jon by going public with her slant on it all. She is daring him to speak out so she can have a tabloid war again. She must miss it so much.
I agree with Admin, that she is shocked and livid that she cant legally control Jon's access to his children.
Well, Kate, you get what you get and you dont get upset.
It's amazing how long Kate has dodged the bullet. Does she go to court with her hair pulled back in a bun, no makeup, clothed in some conservative suit and cry her eyes out in front of the judge?
I have been kind of looking for that drive by sheeple who plods in here from time to time, the one who has a pathological hatred of Liz, who insists that Jon doesnt want to be with the children, that there is some secret 'truth' somewhere; oh yeah, the one who insisted that Kate was scheduled to have the kids for Thanksgiving.
She wants the paps to go away, but she doesn't want them to go away too far, is that it? Why, because then she'd have nothing to bitch about? She wants to have her cake and eat it too.
Kate and Halle are both frighteningly narcissistic.
In my opinion, it's not so much that Kate can't find a job; it's that she won't even attempt to look for one. I know people that can't find jobs, but they try hard and apply for everything available.
Kate won't do that. In her mind, she only wants a job on TV and she feels she deserves it. She is a very POOR example for her kids about how to do what it takes to survive. At one time, she said she would take a job at McDonalds to support her kids. Well, Kate, what happened to that? That may be your only choice because I don't know of anyone who would want you as a nurse.
I think she loves this idea of being swarmed by paps while having to cover her face. Makes her feel important and wanted. She loves the drama of, "oh the paps oh the paps hide!". Whereas most people if they got that much attention would make sure they were living in a manner in which the paps could not see anything so they wouldn't put themselves in that situation in the first place.
As many have commented before, Kate pretends to hate the paps, but she actually loves it.
I remember during the divorce and she would complain about the paps. Yet, she has 22 acres and chose to sit with the kids while they played, in front of the garage. She had the table out there for them to do homework; they always played out in front, she knew the paps were there, yet continued to do this. With 22 acres, most of it that the paps couldn't see, Kate could have definitely stayed out of the public eye IF she really wanted to. The truth is, she loves it.
I bet she takes an extra empty suitcase with her to Vegas in which to bring back all the Expo/marathon freebies x8 and whatever Vegas "ho wear" she buys. Or maybe she hires someone to package it all up and have it sent to her mailbox store back home.
Admin -- Kate + 8 IS on Netflix streaming, at least, the first 10 episodes are. It's listed as Season 6 of Jon & Kate + 8 (Bet that really frosts her butt, LOL).
The Chiefs player who killed his GF and self is Jovan Belcher, a very good starting linebacker. The AP article said he and GF had been arguing. It also said that his mother was living with them, so at least GMa is there to care for the orphaned 3 mo. old. I just don't understand how someone could do something like this. So you're arguing with your SO. So what. People argue. People break up. You shoot her multiple times then go and shoot yourself, leaving your helpless 3 mo. old to grow up an orphan? From the sound of the article I read, it looks like they're going to try to make this the result of head injuries he suffered playing football. IMO, the head injury thing is serious, but it's becoming everyone's excuse for not taking responsibility and not trying to work on problems and solve them. Oh, I went out, got drunk and slapped my wife around. It's because I had a concussion!Sheesh!! Pretty soon it's going to become a cliche and people are going to stop taking the very real damage seriously. Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now. Sorry.
Did anyone else notice how KK contradicted herself in that article? She says they don't do Santa, then says the kids enjoy playing Santa for less fortunate kids. So which is it, Kate? You don't do Santa or the kids like to play Santa?
Admin -- Kate + 8 IS on Netflix streaming, at least, the first 10 episodes are. It's listed as Season 6 of Jon & Kate + 8 (Bet that really frosts her butt, LOL).

Ohhhh! Baw-ha-ha. I bet that chaps Kate's hide she has to be bundled in with that. When you type in Kate Plus 8 only JON and Kate Plus 8 comes up. It was two different shows.
Kate is lazy, both physically and mentally. It's easier to use the "pack mentality" when buying/grifting presents for the 8. She will always take the easiest way because it's what is best for her. She is the only one who matters, don't you know? We all know it here.
Did you see that woman in the photo of the expo literally running away her arms just overflowing with her freebies? LOL, we are ridiculous. We'll go gaga for anything as long as it's free.
Recapping this weekend, Kate has gone to LV for her 'memory' run and no one but 2 creepily obsessive sheeple gives a crap. Sounds about right.
Saw a pic of Halle Berry's ex and his battered face, alongside a picture of the small cut on the bf's hand. She is going to have a hard time spinning this one. Poor little girl, none of the adults in her life sound very stable, glad the courts are not allowing HB to up and move to France. What narcissistic nerve.
They're not using concussions as an excuse. They're using it to point out that they may alter your brain chemistry and composition and trigger behavior that is destructive. The autopsies are frightening, it's really quite undeniable. I love the new helmet rule in football. You have to stop playing the second you lose your helmet. If you don't you get a penalty.
readerlady, I don't know all of the details, but I agree with you. Today, it seems that so many people who do bad things try to use an excuse for it so they don't have to take responsibility. I was upset, I had a bad childhood, my parents didn't love me, the boss has it in for me, I needed a drink to relax, the drugs made me do it, etc, etc, etc.
I know that these are very real feelings that can cause pain, but people have dealt with these issues forever. It is not an excuse to commit murder. What has happened that people and defense attorneys, think that these reasons are acceptable exuses for what their clients have done.
Okay, Admin, I'm sure I opened up a can of worms with you, but I'm ready for it.

I haven't seen it, but are you sure it wasn't Kate? lol
Who is paying to put these silly articles on Yahoo re: Kate? Does anyone really care if Santa visits the Gosselins? They ruined Christmas for their children years ago. Sickening, really. Will she ever just go home to PA and take care of her huge family? Unbelieveable ego that woman has.
LovemyGrandsons there is a difference between excuse and explanation. I haven't heard a single person excusing people who have had repeated concussions from doing bad things. I have heard some very clear links between repeated concussions and bad behaviors, with actual autopsies and brain scans to back up the science. It's not pie in the sky stuff, it's real.
We need to do something to better protect both kids and adults from sports injuries, and we are. Slowly, anyway. Better equipment, better rules, better education, better medical attention.
Admin, I understand what you are saying, but my question is why didn't these things happen back in the 50's, 60's, and 70's? It seems like it's just been the last decade or so where you are hearing about all of these overpaid sports players doing the unthinkable in their private life.
I don't know, does it have something to do with the outrageous salaries nowadays, the instant celebrity, the feeding into their own press? I don't know, but I just know that when we were growing up, it seems that sports players were held to higher standards, possibly because they were so high profile. Yet, there weren't things like this happening.
Maybe I'm naive or just dense, but when you get into football, you have to expect to be hit and tackled. Was this player actually hit after his helmet came off? If so, that should be illegal.
She is just like a DV victim, upset for a few days, then forgets about it and everything is back to normal back to their perp.

Holy stereotype, Batman. It's not only an extremely broad statement, it's kind of harsh.
Most battered women are not complete idiots like Milo is. In fact, you might be surprised at who has been a battered woman in the past.
Admin 149 "I think what pisses her off is that the courts won't let
Kate cut Jon off. She LOVES to cut people off when they are of no use
to her."
I agree.
Admin 152 " I know judges who would strip HER of custody for this crap
she does, give full custody to Jon and her monitored visits with
orders to do licensed therapy, anger management, domestic violence for
perpetrators, and a 52 week probation approved parenting class before
you ever come back wanting anything to change."
If only.
Greedy Gosselins did I say ALL DV victims? I'm talking about the pattern of the group that goes back to their perps. It's not a stereotype, it's a clear pattern.
Do you know I work with DV victims for a living? And perps. I am fully aware they come in all shapes and sizes.
I missed this earlier:
@juliectimmons
@MiloandJack are you going to follow Kate during the race and give us updates?
@MiloandJack
@juliectimmons YES! If all goes accordin 2plans! As soon as they get that lil tracking chip on her shoe...we will be N business! :)

Extreme acts have always been rare. However depression and other altered states of mind has been happening to these players forever, we just understand it better now. It HAS been going on for decades and decades, we just understand what is happening now. Also football has gotten more aggressive and violent in recent years, and there is a lot more pressure to get right back out there and keep playing even if you are dizzy or hurt.
I don't even know that this linebacker had any significant concussions. He may not have. It could just be a random act of violence. Murder-suicides unfortunately happen whether you play football or not.
This may shed some light:
"Football has changed a great deal (since the late 1980s)," Robert Cantu, study author and co-director of the Sports Legacy Institute, told USA Today. "The players are bigger and the game is faster now compared to then. It wouldn't surprise me if the problem isn't worse in the modern era. Also it wasn't common in that earlier era for players to start as a kid . The modern generation is starting younger so they've had longer exposure to brain trauma."
Admin -- I agree that there is very real damage done to the brain from concussions. Not only to the brain chemistry, but to the actual structure of the brain. It is a very serious problem It just seems to me that instead of working on behavior issues and problems, some people are jumping on that bandwagon and trying to use that to justify bad behavior. I like the rule changes, too, particularly the one about helmet to helmet hits, although sometimes I think the refs get a little over-zealous on calling that one. I've seen a few replays where it clearly was accidental. I also think more research needs to be done to find better helmets, not just for football but for all sports. Even baseball and basketball players get concussions. I've also never understood parents who refuse to insist on their kids wearing helmets when the skateboard, ride bikes, or rollerblade. "Personal freedom" is all well and good, but let's use a little common sense here, people! Sorry, looks like I climbed back up on that soapbox again, LOL.
I take every thing in that article with a grain of salt up to and including Toys for Tots and the kids have a voice. Never! I don't believe a word of that. Yes she "talked" about sending things to the hurricane victims but she never said another word about doing it. She has never once mentioned Toys for Tots. My guess is her publicist or whatever is now trying to re-brand her yet once again as a new giving Kt. Not going to happen. She doesn't have it in her. She is a taker, not a giver. You can't change a leopard's spots.
I agree, Admin, that football is getting more agressive. In my opinion, because of the huge salaries, players may be pushed to go out and earn that paycheck, even when they are hurt. It's sad that money seems to be the driving force in everything, even sports. That's just my opinion.
However, when adults get hurt, they have to take responsibility to get the medical/phsychlogical care they need, especially sports players who have an abundance of money to pay for it.
I work with a woman whose husband is having phsycolocial issues, and they are struggling with the what the insurance approves and pays for, the amount they have to pay out of pocket, etc.
Forgive me, but I guess I have a harder time feeling sorry for someone who has the money to take care of these issues while my friend had to decide to go to a food pantry so they could pay their copays for her husband's care.
Okay, off my soapbox now and I'm sorry if I offended anyone.
Well if you have worked with battered women, you know that NONE of them "forget about it and everything is back to normal". ??
No victims FORGET about their abuse and while they may APPEAR to go back to 'normal', it's eggshell walking all. the. time.
You already knew that tho.
I found your comment to be incredibly insensitive. I guess I'll agree to disagree.
All I ask is that you do not compare battered women who are fighting for their lives to a sheeple who calls herself 'Milo'.
Forgive me, but I guess I have a harder time feeling sorry for someone who has the money to take care of these issues while my friend had to decide to go to a food pantry so they could pay their copays for her husband's care.

Why would that offend anyone, LMG? It's life, sadly. Thank God for people who donate to food pantries!
The holidays are such a stressful time. Especially when you have a lot of stress in your life already.
Kate lives in a bubble. She has no idea what the average normal jane goes through from day to day.
OrangeCrusher1 -- In all fairness, the initial pictures of Halle Berry's boyfriend showed him with a black eye and facial abrasions, so he sustained more than a small cut on his hand in the fight. However, as I understand it, he used to be a boxer, so of course he would have the advantage in a fist fight.
Admin -- Also, a lot of the changes are very subtle at first and it isn't until later in life that the ex-athlete begins to show signs of dementia and other brain damage. Junior Seau, who took his own life this summer, exhibited severe changes in his brain, but apparently wasn't showing many overt signs of brain damage. Alex Karras, who died recently, was able to function as an actor for years after he stopped playing, but had severe dementia by the time he died. Of course, he was also in his 70's, so some of that may have been due to aging and other factors and not to brain damage from football injuries.
Oh great. Just went on my Yahoo home page and who should be staring at me but Kate and that stupid article. So I'm reading some of the comments. This one made me laugh:
"Sounds like the kids are living with the Grinch. Granted, this Grinch has C cups."
Greedy Gosselins, you're right, Kate has no idea how blessed she is. The sad part is that she doesn't appreciate how good she has it.
Greedy? The pattern of going back to someone who does not treat you right is the point being made here. It is not meant to be taken so literally. In any situation where someone is repeatedly going back to something bad for them--be it DV, drugs, overeating, whatever, this has been compared by multiple people to the DV pattern just because that is the classic pattern people understand and have heard of.
Again, you're taking "forget everything and go back to normal" far too literally. Of course for some it's a facade. In fact for Milo I suspect it IS a facade, just like a DV victim. We're really not talking about DV though, it was simply a common pattern you see in many things, way broader than DV.
Let me put it this way, Milo fits the classic pattern of people going back to things that are bad for them, ok?

Wayward72- Mr.Modo and I are laughing our asses off at "Cindictive Vunt".
Mr.Modo says that Kate has been a Vunt for some years now, 48 hours a day, and a useless Vunt to boot.
The word will be in general usage around our house from now on. Yank Thou!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lol IDModo.... you are wery velcome ;) For the record, I think the c word is terrible and demeaning. But it fits Kate so well.

I totally agree. Thank you for sharing that, LMG.
Kate has insulated herself in her own little world where she has set herself up as a victim. Just as she was so bitter about other HOM families, rejoicing when the one miscarried, she does not allow herself to be exposed or involved in the misfortune of others. She has no idea what average citizens have to deal with day after day and she doesn't want to know.
I hope your friend's husband is able to continue his treatment and get well.
I have a harder time feeling sorry for someone who has the money to take care of these issues

No amount of money can turn back the clock on 10, 12, 14 concussions. Therapy, drugs, things money can buy don't always work when permanent damage has been done.
Please, don't anyone hold their breath waiting to see pics of Kate and kids donating anything to anyone. Kate is a proven taker, not a giver. I just wish Yahoo did not have anything about her at all. We have known for years that she ruined "Santa" for all 8 kids. Sad, really sad. Such a hateful downer and then laughing about her kids telling other kids at school all about it. Horrible woman. Can't think of even one redeeming quality.
Yes, Admin, I understand that all of those years of abuse cannot always be corrected with money. My point was that this profession was chosen by the players, and they knew what the risks were, and they were also paid hefty sums to play this game. They chose the money over their possible health issues.
Many people that deal with these issues don't have the choice, nor the money, to help pay for the treatment to make their life tolerable.
LalA.....and ruined Santa for all the kids at their school. I would be pretty annoyed as a parent. I also doubt if she really is involved with Toys for Tots, maybe just dropped something she didn't want in a donation box at most.

~~~~~~~~
The boyfriend that lives w/Halle is the one that was a boxer, and there are photos of his grossly swollen/?broken? hand. The ex-boyfriend, the father of the child, had no cuts on his hands, but his face was beaten to a pulp.
Very true. Personally I wouldn't want to see anyone I love play football as much as I admit I do love the sport.
This kids were extremely confused and out of their element at the Tennessee food drive. Kind of like they have never even heard of charitable giving in their lives. Of course when you teach them that charity it involves creepy fans who have tattooed Alexis Faith on themselves (true story), I'd be confused too.
wayward, thank you for your well wishes for my friend's husband. So far, they are continuing with his care, coworkers have taken up collections, and with the food pantry, things are going okay for them.
Also, their son is overseas in Iraq, I think. He sends her some money every month to make help his dad get the medical attention he needs. She gets down alot, but quite often she says how fortunate she is for the people around her who help.
What a novel idea for Kate, to actually be appreciative for blessings in stressful circumstances.
I finally looked at the OMG article. I didn't have the stomach to read it after I read summaries about it but...when was that pic of the kids taken? They look miserable! And K8 looks ridiculous. And as usual the comments underneath the article are the best part!
Greedy Gosselins, thank you for posting. I think sometimes a lot of us forget to remember how blessed we are.
You reminded me to stop for a moment and just appreciate that I am in a warm room, able to be on the internet and drinking a Diet Coke.
Remona Blue -- Yes, the boyfriend/fiance is the one who used to be a boxer. Both of the "men" (little spoiled brat boys, IMO)sustained facial injuries and Olivier (the fiance) reportedly had a broken, or at least severely bruised, hand. From OrangeCrush's report,it sounded to me like the article she read was trying to make it appear that the fiance only had a small cut on his hand while the ex had these terrible facial injuries. I don't think either of them came out of it injury free. IMO, regardless of who started it, who egged the other on, who was injured the most, whatever, these are 3 adults who are treating a child like a wishbone, and they all 3 need to grow up and put that little girl first.

~~~~~
I agree that the three adults need to grow up. However, from what I've read, it seems very clear to me that Halle Berry is a text-book case of parental alienation. From the rulings of various Judges, they seem to agree. In the case of parental alienation, it seems to me that no matter what one parent does, it will never stop the alienation efforts of the offending parent. To ME, it seems that KK and Halle Berry are a matched pair!!
