"You know, you guys might be surprised, but I am not Honey Boo Boo Child. No, I’m sorry, that’s just not me. It never was and it never will be. Please don’t cry because my reality show would be so boring. I would have to make out with Marion Cotillard or I’d have to spank Daniel Craig’s bottom just to stay on the air. It’s not bad work if you can get it, though. But seriously, if you had been a public figure from the time that you were a toddler, if you’d had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, then maybe you too might value privacy above all else. Privacy. Someday, in the future, people will look back and remember how beautiful it once was. I have given everything up there from the time that I was 3-years-old. That’s reality-show enough, don’t you think?"Last August, Jodie Foster released some scathing comments about child stardom, calling it the "cruelty of a life lived as a moving target" and said you have to "submerge beneath the foul air and breathe through a straw." Previously, Foster had been fairly polite about being famous.

Her account is private. The accused person's twitter (not a Sheeple) is where I read it, since the comment was sent to both.

I just looked at the sheeple's twitter account (@bcolliesrgreat). It doesn't appear to be private. The non-fan's account is protected.
Permanent Name,
You're very welcome. You never know when a little internet science research might come in handy. Let me know if you do any experimenting and if you find that it makes a difference. What was that line - something like: eggs, glorious eggs? LOL
Kate tweeted only one tweet Monday at about 9:30 pm. Then she tweets nothing at all today.
About 20 minutes ago, at 12:34am she retweets a tweet from someone who has a link to a gofundme site for a little girl killed in a car accident. The original tweeter did not tweet it to Kate. But @Bullyville(who Kate follows) did tweet something to the original poster. This is Kate's retweet:

What I'm wondering is what is Kate still doing up at 12:30 in the morning? Suffering from a bit of insomnia and perusing her twitter feeds. Seems like she couldn't find any praises to retweet, so she picked that one. Seemed kind of weird to me.
SleeplessinSeattle,
Shortnsaszy first tweeted the PreventBullying person a question that we can't see because of the protected account.
Her first reply was: @shortnsaszy Yes. That is harassment. Block them. Don't respond to them. Report them each time they bother you.
@Bcolliesrgreat jumped in and asked a followup question.
Improbable Dreams,
I agree with you. Milo is definitely not as much in the know about Kate as she tries to make people believe. What a kidder that Milo is. HA

New Theory about Kate and Deanna's sooper sekrit trip to Hollywood last fall:
Millionaire Matchmaker's on tonight. The meet-and-greet's being held at the Avalon in Hollywood. I know Patty invites men and women to join the club,so...any chance Kate was on an upcoming episode, as the millionaire or a possible "match"? It's possible, though I didn't think of it 'til this evening, that she was filming (and Deanna was doing makeup for) that. Anyone buy that theory?
Kate is a twit,
Maybe Kate isn't home and that's why her twitter is quiet and why she's tweeting at such a late hour tonite? just a thought
Improbable Dreams,
I apologize. I was wrong about bcollies and shortnsaszy. You were right! I went back farther in the timelines and found where bcollies tweeted the preventbullying person yesterday complaining about shortnsaszy 'bullying' her. Around and around they go.
maybe kate got back from a "date" maybe kate figures her life in television is really over and looking for a "rich-man" so Kate doesn't have to go do a "job".
When did living like a civilized human being go out of fashion? A live chicken running through the house shitting everywhere, followed by a newborn crawling around on the same floor that hadn't even been cleaned! Sticking hands that aren't washed into food! It was just so disgusting, and not even disgusting in a humorous way, just disgusting on a pathetic level.
June is just one big pile of fail. Failure as a mother, and failure as a human.
I'm all about jokes and having fun, but there's a time. Her kids are so emotionally stunted and lacking in common sense that they can't do anything that doesn't involve some immature joke or prank that are at times, dangerous. And she signs off on it. I know people say they love each other, but why is that so unique? Lots of families love each other, but they don't act like this, and the fact that they love each other doesn't excuse the fact that are basically modern day neanderthals.
Going back to the Golden Globes. Am I the only one who doesn't get Lena Dunham's series Girls? I watched the whole first season in 2 days on demand. I found it hard to be interested enough to keep the characters straight. It just didn't make sense. All the acclaim seems to be that she dares to be on tv without being a size 2. The characters she writes just seem so pointless. Maybe it's just me.
If anybody is making egg salad I'll be over as soon as I can. Save me some.
Morning everyone, hope all is well. Been reading daily just don't have a lot to say, you ladies say it all and I sit here read and nod my head in agreement.

Welcome to the new blogger from Alaska and howdy to everyone
Have a great day, almost quitting time here.
Clean up on aisle twelve and thirteen!
Re Golden Globes: I have never seen Lena Dunhams show, but I know critics love it. I do know she needs a new stylist because that dress she wore did nothing to flatter her appearance, and she walked so awkwardly the shoes either did not fit or were too high for her. I think if you are going to wear a long dress so no one will see your feet anyway, then just wear sneakers! If someone does get a glimpse, then you could be starting a new trend of comfortable practical footwear!
More OT:
One of the most fun and fascinating reality competition shows started a new season last night. It's FACE-OFF on the SyFy cable network. Artists compete in creating special effects makeup, and it is fascinating to see how prosthetic makeup is created. The host is McKenzie Westmore who was on the crazy soap opera Passions years ago. I know some other posters here recall Passions and all their ridiculous plots and supernatural shenanigans fondly.
Anyway, Mckenzies father is Michael Westmore who has worked on Star Trek franchises, and won an Oscar and several Emmys for his makeup. He has been a guest judge before, and this season will be a mentor giving practical advice every week.
I like this show so much, it's a little Project Runway and Style Me (remember that blip on the screen? Didn't last but it was fun) in that contestants are asked to create characters based on a specific inspiration, and the contestants are taken to different locations to find out about their challenges. So last night we got to see the Queen Mary and a historic cathedral in Los Angeles. They sketch, they create prosthetics on a short time table, they have access to costuming materials, wigs, all kinds of makeup, and they have to totally style their characters. Fun show.
Hi grandee, hope you have a good day too!
Kate is 'working on something new?" Hmm. Probably mediocre.
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8
Good morning everyone!I'm busy working on some new stuff and also working (still!) on house projects!Keeping me super busy!I miss you all:)!
******
Good Morning All! I'm working on some stuff today, you know, doing things and such. I'm fixing doodads, surfing nebulous things on the net, have a vague idea of what I'm going to make for dinner and basically keeping busy doing all these ambiguous things.
Being enigmatic is so exhausting!
Oh, meant to add that I miss teasing you all with these indeterminate tweets! Let's do it again soon, and by soon, I mean I just can't say when I will because being sporadic will keep you guessing!
Wow, I missed a lot yesterday. I'm only going to comment on the hard boiled eggs. I've always put some vinegar (white) in the water when boiling them and most of the time the shells come off pretty easily. I always use the oldest eggs that I've got because I'd read that they have more air between the shell and the egg (?) and that's what makes them easier to peel. However, if I've got to make hard boiled eggs for a function (mine are fameous and always requested) I've got a fool proof method...I buy the boiled peeled eggs at Safeway! Works every time and my eggs are always perfect.
Tuckers Mom ~ LOL! Translation, Part III: "None of my dreams are coming true, so I'm working (isn) on some new ones."

I saw parts of two episodes and it was BEYOND offensive.
Three of the girls were at the doctor's waiting for the fourth to show up because the fourth girl was getting an abortion. Well, she didn;t show up because she was busy getting drunk in a bar at 1:00 pm and then having sex in the bathroom with a random guy she just met. Except when she ordered the guy to put his hands down her pants, he pulled his hand out and it was dripping blood. Yes, they SHOWED this.
I then saw part of another episode where she finds out she has HPV and complains about having to go back to her GYN, and accuses her guy friend of giving it to her. He denies, it saying he was just tested and he is "clean." So she must've gotten it from someone else.
I am not kidding. This is the show.
Absolutely. APPALLING. DISGUSTING. This is not "empowering" for women. What I saw was a primer on how not to act.
Just speechless this is "entertainment." And I am by no means a prude. But there is respect/disrespect. These characters have no respect/no standards for their own behavior. You can be as kinky as you want to be without being trashy.

Sheeple droppings on aisle 12 and 13. Really stinking up the place, Admin/BlogLadies.
NJGal -- I follow the same recipe for hard boiled eggs as you do, only mine come from Kroger, LOL.
Joy --- I'm not a regular watcher of Face-Off, but the occasions I've watched it, it's been interesting. Theatrical make-up is fascinating. I did some in college as a member of the campus theaterr group. I know just enough to understand a bit of the work that goes into creating those elaborate prosthetics they show of F-O. I didn't see last night's episode, but they usually rerun them before the next so I'll try to catch it.
Um, sorry, that should read "show ON F-O".
I was being snarky about Kate's umpteenth indeterminate tweet/interview which is her modus operandi. But there's a serious side to why she does what she does, and that is she hooks fans, especially the ones who are prone to being obsessive, unpredictable, inappropriate and even dangerous, by manipulating them with Intermittent Rewards/Reinforcement.
I highly doubt Kate's ever heard of B.F. Skinner. I just think this type of control and manipulation comes to her in an insidious manner because of her personality.
Kate's fans lap up any morsel she throws out to them. Look at the immediate responses she gets when she throws out ONE tweet in 24 hours:
@Kateplusmy8 we miss you more! Xoxo
@Kateplusmy8 miss you Kate and the Kids❤❤
@Kateplusmy8 miss u 2
@Kateplusmy8 Kate r u & the kids ever going to do another show? My kids and I miss u & your family!
It's fascinating and anyone who knows a manipulator, or person who is bipolar, knows that you can hang in there for the good stuff that's doled out sporadically because the crumbs taste so good in light of the absence of crumbs.
Kate must just lap it up when she can ignore her fans forever, but they all come crawling back when they think she's even looking in their general direction.
More OT,
Interested in Michael Westmore s career, so reading a few interviews he has done. Sometimes ” the crew” does have relationships with children that last. He did makeup for The Munsters TV show in the sixties and says he still sees Butch Patrick, the actor who played the young son Eddie. I don't know how to make a link on my phone, it is a star trek interview. Mr Westmore says he put on the actors makeup every morning when he was a little boy, and now they still get together one or twice a year just to visit and talk.
Fascinating to read about the effects he has done. For Raging Bull, he came up with prosthetics that had tubes inside so it could simulate bleeding during fight scenes, and he did the makeup for the Rocky movies, and created the Borg and Ferengi makeup and more for the Star Trek franchise
Jeanne, Girls has gotten a lot of criticism as sort of a poor man's Sex in the City. I think a lot of it operates on sarcasm and hyperbole, and I think that's funny, to a point. I've seen it, and I think some of the writing is very good, especially considering she's only 25. At the end of the day, it's about a very insecure young woman who is trying to fill the void with sex, at least that is the show I see, though I'm not sure if Lena knows that's what she is writing. Maybe she does.
What is Kate working on???
I bet it's nothing or it's nothing big.
But if it is something the kids are involved so how so way.

Oh my gosh....I was also planning on doing al kinds of stuffs in and around the house today! New projects, some old projets, here and there..... just like Khate, that must be a sign!!!!!
Oh it also is some pretty funny commentary on the first generation of trophy kids hitting the real world. The scene in the first episode where her parents cut her off, is hysterical, when she agrees to make the "sacrifice" of living on "only" $1500 a month from them.

Just finished watching the Golden Globes!
You know what I found refreshing? When Ben Affleck won the award for Best Director (Argo) and gave his speech, he seemed so....nervous. Nervous and a bit unpolished. In an endearing way.
Here is this A-list, rich star with a beautiful wife, and he is nervous to be giving his speech. Some actors seem to look at that award as less prestigious and important than an Oscar, but Ben seemed genuinely humbled and appreciative. It was just nice to see.
Also, he and Jennifer Garner are so adorable together. I don't follow celebrities at all and pay much more attention to who my loved ones are dating than to who is going out with whom in Hollywood.... but I do hope he and Jennifer Garner stay together. They seem to live a very private,genuine, nice life with their children. It's nice to see.
Like it or hate it, Girls is the product of a very talented young woman. Talent is the operative word here.
And then there is Kate, and her vacuous tweet about working on something new. Lena Dunham's grocery list is more interesting than anything KG is doing. Someone, however, has obviously shut the tweet machine down, unless Twitter has gone the way of blog, website, jogging and meat slicer.
Ben and Jen are always doing mediocre things with the kids, paps always catch them at some rinky dink parade or eating snow cones at a carnival. You rarely see them all decked out in some trendy part of LA. I think that's his Boston roots.
For the longest time I thought Matt Damon was the brains behind that bunch. After The Town and Argo, I've changed my mind.
So Kate says she is working on something new?
Actually, if Kate was "working" that would be something new.
She's been saying she's "working on" something for the past 12 months.
It's getting to be like "the check is in the mail!"
Yeah, sure it is.
Seriously, she is the biggest tease. We haven't seen a single solitary fruit from all the labor she claims she's doing.
Tuckers mom, you are brilliant! This is absolutely the model of intermittent reinforcement, and isn't that the pattern that will reinforce behavior the most? The subject is never sure if they willl get a reward, so they always do the behavior, ever hopeful.
Isn't this like the Pavlovs dog experiments too?

I think they're equally bright and have made the most of the opportunities given to them. Matt Damon has a new movie out - 'Promised Land' - about the dangers of gas drilling and fracking. I believe he co-wrote the movie.

I think it was a little easier for friendships to develop with kids back in the day. The technology on sets has evolved so much that everyone is doing a lot more than they used to. A makeup artist no longer plops on a bit of powder and lipstick, now it's several hours in the makeup chair even for something small. Also people are a lot more aware of boundaries now. Even Kate describes her crew off in the garage and testing sound, and although this annoyed her, it just tells me this was a busy crew trying to do a good job. I never really bought that Kate and the kids were that close to the crew. This is a busy crew working hard and the kids were up to their own things too. All I can say is I never saw anyone trying to befriend the kids I was on set with, though they were NICE to them, and I was more comfortable with it that way anyway. They already have friends. THEIR AGE.
Jane yes that's what I meant. I don't mean Ben is the brains now, but rather Matt is not the ONLY one with brains.

And OF Course they crew is nice to you and your kids. Their job is to catch you unguarded and uninhibited.
Well, except when Kate's crew guy feigned stabbing himself in the neck at the thought of doing another trip with Kate. I always wondered what Kate thought of that candid moment!
I also thought it was a respect thing. You wouldn't approach someone doing construction work or surveying or something and try to form a friendship--they are out there around you doing their job. If they want to approach you fine, but have some respect for people on the clock doing their job.
There was also sense of, I know Dad and Mommy, and some of your friends, and your sibling are here and it feels like we're just at the park at home, but all those adults are working okay? They'll stop working at this time and we're all going to have dinner together and see a movie together and spend lots of time together.
A movie set is a WORKPLACE that should be respected. It was about respecting those who are doing a JOB.

Just that things can be extraordinarily great when someone is up, and really bad when they're down. To extrapolate, I was in a relationship where BF would be positive and attentive, and then he'd go MIA and be very disaffected.
When it was good, it was good. It kept in hooked in a very unhealthy way for a while and I see Kate's zealous fans in the same way. What is in it for them? How long will they wait for something more than little morsels of attention?
A very long time.
I don't think their weekly Gosselin fix will ever come back, especially not the kids. It's over and they can't see it or move on.
ps... I hope your daughter is thriving ;-)
I am kind of wondering now if Kate is confusing people just being "nice" with people being your BFFs.
We've all known someone needy where the tiniest gesture of good will on your part is suddenly construed as you two are now best friends.
It kept in hooked in a very unhealthy way for a while
***
It kept me hooked.
I find the disconnect between what's in my head to type and what my fingers actually type to be very strange!
And I should add to my comment #46, manipulation is more often associated with BPD, borderline personality disorder (which is merely a catch-all diagnosis in my opinion). My daughter has been diagnosed with BPD as well. Many diagnosed with BPD are also diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I do not think Kate has BPD. I've said in the past I think Kate may be bipolar and here's the best description I've found for the tone of Kate's tweets that make me think that:
Bi-Polar waves: I've learned by observation that it's not hard at all to tell she is Bi-Polar because I can clearly see the behavior waves rolling through. For 3 to 6 months she will be on cloud 9 and happy as a lark. But - that's when she works herself to the bone (I'm mean all day and night in the house), won't stop to even eat, will redecorate the entire house, and buy all kinds of stuff. Her spending is on the family which is nice, but it can be over the top during this wave. She will sleep maybe an hour or two on a good night. Then, like a light switch - she crashes. And this bottom low is like nothing I've ever been around. It's a deep, deep sadness with frequent crying spells that will last a few weeks followed by an incredible angry period.
Many who are manipulative are very controlling. Kate seems to be extremely controlling. Personally I do not believe her controlling ways are associated with bipolar disorder.
I don't know what disorder it may fit into, but she is manipulative and she is controlling.
Sometimes I really want to put labels on things, but sometimes I think, the labels don't matter that much. The behavior is still the same. As the old saying goes, it is what it is.
Tucker's Mom, thanks for the explanation. I guess your reference to "crumbs" was in regard to Kate's poor fans.
My daughter is "managing" because she's taking her meds at this time. Sadly, I doubt she'll ever be "thriving."
Many who are manipulative are very controlling. Kate seems to be extremely controlling. Personally I do not believe her controlling ways are associated with bipolar disorder.

Tucker, absolutely, you really have to ask yourself why anyone would be interested in "outing" others, especially over a reality T.V. star. I repeat, a reality T.V. star. Manipulation, control? Mental illness. If there's one thing I find even more inexplicably boring than what's left of Kate's career, it's who you all's relatives are. Um, no offense. :)
Why is Kate working on something "NEW" why hasn't she finished what she has already started?

I'm much more fascinated by Kate's fans these days. Here's a great example of why Kate should have never started marathon tweeting with them to start with:

@deannatweeting: @SRitt32 OMG I am so sorry. They harass me too, but I have them all blocked. They target Kate all day and I guess me too bc we're friends.
How does Deanna know she's being harassed if she has the non-fans blocked?
Jane
-----------------------
I think Deanna just ferschnupped herself. It's not a Kate-ism. It's means, in PA Dutch, slipped up, or spoke without thinking things through first. In other words, it was a slip of the tongue. She goofed without realizing it. I didn't spell it correctly...I can speak it, but my spelling is bad!

LOL!! Thanks for the Laugh of the Day comment.
dont know if this has been discussed, but here is a snippit about honey boo boo
"Honey Boo Boo is going to be just fine financially when she gets older, thanks to wise financial planning from Mama June. The reality TV mother has revealed she siphons the majority of the family’s “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” earnings into trust funds for her daughters.
“The family receives between $15,000 – $20,000 per episode, which is divided equally into accounts for Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, 7; Lauryn, 12; Jessica, 15; Anna, 18, and baby Kaitlyn, the reality matriarch told TMZ.
“The girls will not be able to access the funds for anything other than schooling (and) medical emergencies until they reach the age of 21, June revealed.
‘”I want my kids to look back and say, ‘Mama played it smart. Not like those other reality TV people,’” she told the website, adding that she never actually receives the money. “TLC puts the money into the girls’ trust accounts for me and then I get an e-mail telling me how much everyone gets.”‘
This is very different than you know who.! in GA there are not really much in terms of child labor laws.
From examiner.com"
Kate Gosselin has been keeping her professional life on the down low ever since her highly publicized firing from her former blogging gig at Coupon Cabin in October. On Wednesday, Kate tweeted an cryptic message signaling that she may gave new job.
Over the last few months, Kate has vaguely mentioned being excited about new projects that she couldn't talk about, but would announce at a later date. She has yet to make an official announcement about her employment or any negotiations surrounding book deals or television deals.
On Oct. 17, in Kate's first tweet after her firing, she tweeted, "Good afternoon! I'm alive! I've been busy working away!" after an unusual three day hiatus from her prolific Twitter updates.
On Wednesday morning, Kate tweeted a similar message, saying, "Good morning everyone!I'm busy working on some new stuff and also working (still!) on house projects!Keeping me super busy!I miss you all:)!".
One fan fan responded with a question to which Kate has yet to answer. The fan asked, "@Kateplusmy8 gm kate ...any plans of comming back on Tv miss your show +your kids gb".
That comment was followed up by an unrelated spam comment. Of Kate's 126,338 followers, only six people thought the tease was worthy of a retweet at the time of this article's publication.
I am kind of wondering now if Kate is confusing people just being "nice" with people being your BFFs.
My daughter is like this. If someone is even remotely nice to her, she immediately trusts them 100% with anything and everything.
She doesn't get that they're salespeople; they're paid to be nice to her, they don't really mean it. Or that it's the plumber and he's just being polite while he makes the repairs.
It's hard. I feel like I have to monitor her constantly so she doesn't inadvertently get herself into trouble.
I'm constantly saying to her, no, they're not your "friend", they were just being polite.
And I'm curious why Milo has the strange compulsion to make things rhyme. She deleted a whole string of rhyming tweets then started in again:

She either has a Dr. Seuss complex, or she's copying the witches in Macbeth. It could go either way.

Kate has been hinting at projects in the works for MONTHS. At this point, she is doing just enough to keep her fans interested. She feeds them an encouraging tidbit or a wink-wink nudge-nudge hint every so often and then goes back to ignorning them.
All I can say is, she better have something to show for it. Don't get me wrong, I hope those kids weren't exploited in any way, shape, or form. But, as we have all seen, some of those tweeters live for the possibility that Kate's career might come back from the dead.
So for her to get their hopes up for a null result..inexcusable.
Or, better yet, she can finally throw in the towel and admit that her life is, in fact, mediocre and boring as hell. You know, like the legendary Jodie Foster did.
She has 8 wonderful, growing kids, yes. Kids that can now fend for themselves for the most part and are likely not running around all over the place like they were five years ago.
Everything is probably much more controlled and subdued than the last time her fans saw her and her family on television. So, the party is over. Now Kate can and should focus on enoying life with her children.

I don't know, mestruation is a pretty human process... I always just assumed Kate didn't experience it.

Like I said before, the woman dabbles, gets bored and then moves on.
==================
I'm not so sure it's because she gets bored, although that may be a big part of it. She moves on because everything fails, or she gets fired!
I think she moves on to something else because she's too lazy to see something through to the finish.
She gets fired though because she got bored and then lazy! KimG

That's true. So maybe Milo does know all about Kate's estrous cycle...
Oy I'd better stop before I get grossed out. LOL
Milo probably thinks it's so admirable that Kate has to endure such hell 5 to 7 days each month. She probably thinks, what a trooper that Kate is, I don't know how she does it... completely forgotting that every single healthy woman on the planet experiences that very same thing.
Somehow Kate's would be better and more fascinating though.

@fostermom62 @Kateplusmy8 I can believe it. I'm south of her and they've said we could see a mixture rain,sleet.....maybe snow. Be safe K8

Yes, Kate, stay safe in the DRIZZLE. Be careful shoveling that drizzle off the driveway. There is no snow in the forecast...too warm. She's not going to lose her trees or power because of rain, but a tweetie needs to remind her to be safe. #superfunrain
OT but have to share about DUMB parenting skills.
My 12yr old step son has lived with us for over a year for very good reasons but this one illustrates what it is like to deal with a crazy EX... we found out this week that she is pregnant (3 months) AGAIN through face book?? Nope she hadn't told him we had to. She lives 10min from us and he has been there in the past 3 months.
She is a case study for loving babies and having nothing to do with them when they grow up a little

======================
As CEE (Chief Executive Ewe), it's Milo's job to know everything about Kate's show biz life. As Kate's best friend, lover, and confidant, she knows everything about Kate's personal life, so it only stands to reason that Milo would commiserate with Kate during those days of the month. She probably keeps a "Kate calendar" (but not Em Tanner's).

The system is going to bring snow more than vs. north, which is rare, but happens. Yeah, SNOW!!! OMG!!
Don't lose branches on every single one of those trees that Stevie acted as foreman when they were installed for "privacy".
I hope we see some snow tommorow--we're supposed to get a couple inches which will lift my spirits. This stalled system that's been hanging over us producing a steady drizzle for almost 3 days is so gloomy!

Kate lost her maternal instinct for the tups the day she left the hospital and put their feeding and caring in the volunteers hands. In the hospital with the cameras around she cuddled and held her babies, once home we never saw her feeding or cuddling the infants. Everything was preplanned by Kate, the conception, pregnancy and the notriety that followed.

@deannatweeting HaHa...well said! I agree "humility" goes a long way N keepin relationships runnin smooth & ur opportunities plentiful! :)

If Milo is smart enough to understand this, why can't she figure out that Kate's lack of humility is why she has no relationships or opportunities.
I guess even Milo can't help Kate.
Kate said she only bonded with Hannah as she held her first and didn't really explain when/if she bonded with the others. She had complaints about Aaden, Joel, Leah, Alexis and Collin during their infancy from projectile vomiting, being over-stimulated, too big a head, slow to walk, arm that needed therapy. I guess only 'perfect' babies are good enough for Kate even if they are her own.

When Kate pouted that ONE tup needed $$ glasses, I was incredulous. Damn glad my mother didn't find me a bother when I needed glasses as a kid.
Milk, glasses.... what did Kate ever seem happy to spend money on for the sake of her children's well being and happiness? Let me clarify, not including everything donated, gifted, grifted, promoted or otherwise footed by TLC?
When Kate pouted that ONE tup needed $$ glasses, I was incredulous.

Didn't she make some comment regarding Aaden's glasses like "I wish my normal kids would be totally normal."
...the HELL? How does wearing glasses make a kid "not normal"? Yes, Aaden was a bit younger than most kids are when they first need glasses, but the bottom line is tons of kids need them eventually. By elementary school, a lot of kids have them.
It does not make someone abnormal. Aaden is not blind; he merely had less-than-perfect vision and the doctor felt he would do better with glasses.
Hardly an inconvenient or debilitating health problem. He was and is still a wonderful, healthy boy.
How dare Kate make a comment like that, especially when there are mothers out there who have children who are sick in hospitals all year round?

I think that she should have said "begging" goes a long way getting you what you want, even if you're living in a million dollar home. You just have to perfect the art of grifting, which she has. So far she's been good at it. It's not going to last forever, though, so she better have Plan B in place.
Exactly what "opportunities" does Kate have, Milo? She's had opportunities to do so many things, but it's her attitude that screwed everything up for her. Seems she's burned so many bridges, that even humility isn't going to help.

Cloudberries grow above the Arctic Circle. They look like pale pink raspberries but taste nothing like them. The taste is very distinctive and difficult to describe. Some people love them, me, not so much.
OT to LMG. My friend’s research on electronic cigarettes continues. When he was vaping (honest to God that’s what they call it) menthol, I could not smell anything. Today he is using Twisted Java, and I could faintly smell dark roasted coffee. Apparently, the flavor selection is enormous, including tobacco.
wow, I have missed alot.....thank you Working Woman for your very kind words re:my daughter. Someone asked when the baby was due and that would be in May. She emailded me this morning that the baby is kicking up a storm, more so at night. Just like she did.
It's a beautiful day here, stopped at Central Market and picked up some fromage....love that fancy french stuff....lol.

My Travel Plans for 2013 - 2014.....
I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.
I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.
I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my children,
friends, family and work.
I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.
I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.
I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.
Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.
One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!
I may have been in Continent, and I don't remember what country I was in. It's an age thing. They tell me it is very wet and damp there.
PLEASE DO YOUR PART!
Today is one of the many National Mental Health Days throughout the year. You can do your bit by remembering to send this e-mail to at least one unstable person. My job is done!
Life is too short for negative drama and petty things.
So laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly! Well that forgiveness part is up to you!!!
From one unstable person to another... I hope everyone is happy in your head - we're all doing pretty well in mine!
Mom2Two,
I had never watched Honey Boo Boo until this past Sunday's episode (which I dvr'd so as not to miss the Golden Globes). What a DISGUSTING hour of nose pickin, dogs humpin, raw pork eatin, sneezin on food, chicken poopin and cast fartin. TLC sure has knocked out the bottom of the bucket.
Seems like ratings lost big time, losing over a million viewers...perhaps that episode will be the beginning of the end.
I'm on kindle hard to type sorry.
Milo references Jack the dog in her tweet. so, does she tweet as milo cat? is this Kate love talk how she thinks a cat would talk to Kate?
Great post, Rhymes with Witch. I'll have to forward...Thank you
June is just one big pile of fail. Failure as a mother, and failure as a human.
======================= =======
I have to agree. Sometimes, love is not enough, if it's not paired with common sense, setting of appropriate boundaries, teaching your children some basic manners, and otherwise leading by example.
I'm sorry to the folks who say they enjoy this show and believe the fact June treats her children with a lazy indulgent sort of parenting makes it all okay. But it's not okay. She's raising a child who will be paying for the public exposure for the rest of her life, and she's not raising her to fit in with what used to be called "polite" society. Being redneck is one thing; but encouraging tasteless behavior is not the hallmark of good parenting.
Milo references Jack the dog in her tweet. so, does she tweet as milo cat? is this Kate love talk how she thinks a cat would talk to Kate?
======================
Interesting observation, Fido. She tweets as MiloANDJack, so I guess it's a dual think. Jack communicates with Kate via e-mail (and perhaps DM), but Milo the cat never says anything on his own. Cat got his own tongue?
Jack also speaks with Shoka, wants to go on walks with him, but we never hear Milo the cat making any effort to befriend Shoka. Maybe he's just a scaredy- cat.
Rhymes with Witch said... 109
I got a good belly laugh out of that one. Thanks. Still smiling.
I never watched Honey Boo Boo. My stance is no child should be on reality TV.
Admin..is there some kind of investigation you can do about who is outing people on this blog and report them?
Millicent, I agree, such a sad situation for those kids. Children know what they have been taught/exposed to, pure and simple. Poor hygiene, poor nutrition, bad manners, lack of self control and the list goes on. No laughing matter!
I remember whem my DD started spitting (not at people)and I just told her spitting in public wasn't a good thing. So,one day she was 3 and sitting on her little pink bike, with her little pink helmet on and she leaned over and spit on the driveway. Then she politely tipped over. She cried and looked at me then said "spitting is bad"
And I replied, "and remember never ever spit into the wind after eating chocolate!" Lesson learned.
Rhymes - I'm in Credulous (would you believe I finally got there?) that you were able to post that entire message in Tact, although I've never known you to be out of Tact...
Yours in Mental Health,
IDModo
Nancy, although it may be a sad situation, how lucky your step son is to have you in his life. He obviously sees that, too, because he has started calling you mom.
Rhymes, thank you for the further info on electronic cigarettes. I've talked to the hubs about it, and actually he said he tried one off and on a few weeks ago. He just didn't seem crazy about it, but he is at least rethinking it again.
Also, Rhymes, I loved your post about the places you've been. That was great!
I have to agree. Sometimes, love is not enough, if it's not paired with common sense, setting of appropriate boundaries, teaching your children some basic manners, and otherwise leading by example.

Being redneck is one thing; but encouraging tasteless behavior is not the hallmark of good parenting.
=====================
Millicent -- excellent post, said succinctly and very well put. When the parent is "redneck" in behavior and without manners, who is there to teach the child how to live in a polite society? Perhaps, though, that they really don't care about any of that, and if they're happy in their status quo, then it is what it is. For them, it's their societal norm; anything outside of that lifestyle would be artificial to them, and would they ever really fit in?
We all live within a structure of social expectations. This includes how others will react to our manners, our behavior, and how we may influence others. Social norms are the basis for these expectations, and in June's world, this behavior is normal. Manners are not taught. Although she and the family may observe the "polite" behavior around them, it only would become acceptable in their world if they chose to make it so. At this point it seems that believe that they are under no obligation to change anything, including teaching manners or setting boundaries, and therefore, you're going to have a child growing up who is loved, but would feel quite out of place anywhere but where she is now.
There is no excuse, though, for not teaching manners...I don't care who you are, or in what society you live. None whatsoever. This is where I think that June fails miserably and will continue to do so, and it is the child who will be paying for this lackadaisical parenting.
As I have stated earlier, I am not a fan of the Honey Boo Boo show. Millicent, I agree with what you said. June doesn't seem to be preparing her kids for life in the real world with other people.
Everyone here needs to grow up. I'm scrolling on by this blog. It's like a playground anymore. I read to relax and I come here and it's anything but.
In the past, I have shared on this blog the abuse in my childhood. Now, on the subject of teaching children manners, I will share again.
My mother was never much on teaching manners, for that matter, neither of my parents really were. However, they expected us to use manners, but we didn't know what manners were.
I remember as a child eating at a friend's home and overhearing the parents say that it was a shame that I didn't have table manners. As the years went by, I became self-conscious to eat in front of others, and when was at someone's home or out with friends, I was the last to reach for food. I watched and waited to see what others did and then followed their lead. By my mid teens, I started reading columns like Miss Manners and the like to try to learn the proper way to socialize so I didn't embarass myself.
I got over that fear of sitting down to a meal with others because I learned how I should behave. I made sure to teach manners to my daughter so she would feel comfortable with others, and never feel the hurt of overhearing someone talking about her lack of manners.
Anyhow, this is what I feel June's children will go through if she doesn't take the time to teach them social skills.
And if any of the kids said: Please no more filming, would June say 'Okay'? I highly doubt it. She has caught the kk disease.....I watched the one episode and I am done. I can't afford to lose the brain cells.
Anonymous, what in particular is your issue with the blog?
I am sorry you feel that way.
We discuss a wide range of topics here and, in general, the conversation is very respectful. Not sure why you feel it's so unrelaxing.
What bothers me the most about honey Boo Boo is she is famous because she is the butt of the joke. Even the Gosselin kids weren't the butt of the joke. Kate may have been but not the kids.
There is something especially evil about exploiting a child not just for the drama like usual but for laughs too.
Tucker & LMG Thank you, you both made me smile I love him beyond words and as much as my own kids... It just kills me to watch and I can not say anything so I vented here :)

I watched Gayle King on The View today and she had pictures of her holidays in Hawaii with Oprah. Gayle mentioned that one of the girls in a photo was part of Oprah's school program and she was going to college here in the States. 9 more African students would be joining her and the young ladies would disperse to the likes of Wellesly.
And these girls came from HUTS, so it can be done!
Thanks for clearing that up for me, Working Woman! For a minute there, I thought I was losing it!
I have been reading here since there was only 12 replies to a post so a while lol I have posted a handful of times and always felt welcome I follow the rules and all goes well :)
Are there regulars of course there are but they are welcoming and warm and call it like it is on a regular basis. So jump in be respectful and you will find open arms and Hogs as I have when I venture in :)
I got a good grasp of where June might be coming from when she said that she was basically raised by a baby sitter that was supposed to be an aunt but really wasn't an aunt and she fed her mayonnaise sandwiches for breakfast, dinner, lunch and snack. I am sure she must have had a hard life but I wish she would take some of these services that she has access to now and try to change it around for her and her kids and make it a good positive show about growth and change. The message being that if they could do it so could anyone else. That is kind of the way it started out with Ms. Manners and Ms. America and the dieting, but then they just because caricatures of themselves and they are toast now. What she needs is a good manager. She clearly is not making the right choices now. With property values so cheap where they live she should let TLC get them a bigger nicer house with a deed free and clear and I am sure they would do it. If they are going to continue filming they need a bigger house. Many more episodes like this last one though it won't be a problem much longer.
Anyone watching American Idol tonight? I don't know why I still enjoy this show although I do find myself fast-forwarding through parts of it. I've been a big Seacrest fan since the beginning. How I can go from loving PBS to Seacrest...odd LOL

Yes, Jon wore them too, until he was offered free Lasik to which Kate responded, "Me too!, me too!".
The freebies they both had pouring in were astonishing. I don't know if you read Hoffman's book/Kate's journal, but Kate was offered free educations for all 8 kids and free breast augmentation surgery followed by a week of private RnR at a their post-surgical spa.
I mean became caricatures of themselves. Can't type with keyboard in my lap.

When I saw the error, I posted a correction. The poster whose name I used made a joke saying she thought she was talking to herself and it wouldn't be the first time! Lol!
It happens, and you cleared up my confusion, and I'm sure Working Woman is not upset about it now that she knows what happened. Please stick around.
Yes, I read Kate's how-to manual on how to mistreat her children.
I don't recall her children being offered free educations though.
I recall she was offered the option of TLC grifted boob job, or paying for it herself off camera.
Craz Town, we would love for you to continue posting!

Well, let's see if we can clear this up....
1. It's 6:52 PM EST
2. Posting as anonymous
3. Hijacking a regular posters name
4. Posting with attitude
5. Blathering the old shtick about cliques
6. Threatening to leave
Ah ha! They're heeeerreeee....
A little early tonight, don't you think? I used to think that it was a vast ewe cabal conspiracy, that they'd all get together and assign nights to drop in here and sh*t all over the place. I even thought they were using some evolving strategies to hide their true identities as ewes for a while as they reeled us all in. Then Blammo, they'd drop the first stinky turd.
But now I wonder if it isn't just one mentally ill idiot hell bent on causing trouble here.
I honestly would love it if they would just be swiffered immediately. There is nothing they have to say that's worth the grief they drop. I'm a big believer in first amendment rights of free speech, but jeez louise, they aren't speaking freely, they are simply agitators and provocateurs out to cause mayhem.
It would be nice if we could ALL just ignore them, but when they out people and post under someone else's name, they need to be gone. And some of their comments are so outrageous it's hard not to slam them back. Of course, that's what they want. What a sad life they must have...
And what the hell is the purpose of them outing folks? I saw a post the other day with someone's name, address etc. It wasn't called an outing, just had the raw data. Luckily, it was swiffered within about 2 minutes. (Good job Admin and Blog Girls)
Why do they do this?!
I vote for swiffering them with a bleach solution.........

Does everyone who has had their real life name ''outed'' know it was done? In the past, I've been called names by the person doing the outing, but as far as I know, my real life name wasn't ''outed''. However, I can't be positive, since I don't always see the content of the outing, only others talking about them being swiffered.
Crazy Town,
If I misread your post as WW, I humbly apologize. I think we were cross-posting at the same time and I didn't see your explanation.
Apologies.
Part of my post comments were directed at Anonymous 124 and her playground comment.

lol! You're here! Does this include being able to learn to read and follow posting rule #1?

Promise?
Permanent Name, it's okay. I realized the mistake right away and was like sh*t!!
Sorry again, Working. As I said, I rarely post and when I do, there are so many typos that it's less frustrating to just read.
But the clique issue is one thats been discussed ad nauseum, and it bothered me to see it being brought up again. I feel bad that anon feels that way, but I don't know what more can be said about it that hasnt been said alredy.
LVG I love your posts!!!! Just saying.
We were raised in a Yes Ma'am, No, Ma'am, elbows off the tables home. My Mom wasn't the greatest cook in the world but she sure did spoil us. Tuna salad was made at least 4 different ways and breakfast was made to order. My great grandmother said she was nuts! Of couse alot of folks said they were both nuts for taking on 4 small children when they should have been enjoying retirement. I know in my heart and soul that they thoroughly enjoyed those retirement years...what an adventure!
Working Woman and Crazy Town,
Again, my apologies to Crazy Town. I didn't see her explanation until after I posted my mini-rant.
Working Woman, we all did the blue name thing back awhile ago and I'm not sure if I remember exactly how I did it.... we all were doing it because there was a spate of hijackings....
I think:
Make a google/gmail email address that is completely UNLINKED to any other gmail or google blog you own.
IE, your name could be 'Working Woman in Blue' and your gmail account could be workingwomaninblue@gmail.com
The important thing is to make sure that account is not linked to anything that could ID your real name
Now, how to do that... I think go to google.com
click on top for email
make a new account
ANYONE ELSE, did I explain that correctly for WW?
The only think I would add is that until I signed out of my regular gmail account, I couldn't create the 'Blue' account.
Never watched T & T or HBB, but I think TLC is playing the redneck up card, as is the family and iin the long run she will suffer, trust
fund or not.

Thank you so much Permanent! I really appreciate it.
I am going to try to make a new gmail account now...

"Working Woman, we all did the blue name thing back awhile ago and I'm not sure if I remember exactly how I did it.... we all were doing it because there was a spate of hijackings...."

But then didn't someone, as an experiment, show how the blue account could be hijacked in just a matter of minutes, so it was no guarantee that this would end the problem?
This is Working Woman....created a gmail account, am testing it out
ADMIN, is this a safety issue for those who are outed? I'm scratching my head here.....
I should clarify - what I saw was a raw data dump, there was no connection to a screen name here.
You can delete this if you want to, my feelings won't be hurt. Blog security and poster security come first....
**********************************************
Admin...I asked you a while back if there was some way you could find out whose doing the outing. Someone was outed this morning and it stayed posted here for hours before it was
swiffered. I think all of us have a right to know what's going on, if it can be stopped, if it's being reported and if our information can remain safe on this blog. I'd like an answer, please.
Thank you, TxBR549, that was sweet. I love to read your posts because they are so well thought out. Take care, hon.
It wouldn't let me use the name Working Woman so I had to do WW in PA.... it looks strange though! Let me see if I can fix it.
So sorry about this, please bear with me! :-)
Melissa,
That was me. Someone said she could post using my screen name. I asked her to try because I thought it couldn't be done, but..... it can. The attempt was done at my request and the poster was polite. We chalked it up to a learning experience.
In case folks don't know how, I'm not going to tell them.... LOL.
But it takes a lot of effort to do it and we all sort of decided it was not worth worrying about...
It's really remarkable how quiet Kate's Twitter timeline has become. Even when she does grace her fans with a tweet, only a few frenetic fans reply along with a couple of kids who are seeing the show in reruns. Remember when there'd be hundreds of tweets an hour? I wonder if Kate was told to chill because of a possible job or if she no longer gives a crap. The thing with Kate, though,is that she needs constant acknowledgement of how wonderful she is ... Where is she getting it? I hope she finally got on meds.
Okay ladies, this is Working Woman.
It looks like from here on out, I will be posting as Sam I Am, if that is okay.
For some reason, Google just isn't accepting Working Woman or any other variation I can think of.
So, I will sign WW for a while, just so it's clear that it is in fact Working Woman posting. Sorry about this :-(
WW
This is a testing post
Sam I Am,
Howdy girl!!! LOL
Sam I Am/Working Woman, no need to apologize, hon. Glad everything worked out for you. I hope I remember Sam I Am is you, but if I forget and welcome you to the blog tomorrow, just shrug it off!
Oh, poor Working Woman, my heart is with you! I swear, the "going blue" period almost drove me nuts. I did talk a lot to myself during those few days. Well, actually, I was "talking" to Google, calling "it" bad names I really was surprised to learn I knew. I only persisted because Remona Blue finally got it and I could tell from her posts that she was approximately at the same level of Internet know-how. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I've been wondering the same thing as you. Kate hasn't had a manic twitter episode since before the New Year. Since Jan. 1, she has tweeted less than 50 times. I remember one day when she tweeted over 50 times in a one hour period.
This TxBr549, I followed the google instructions given here...TxBR549 was taken, one of their suggestions was Txbr54988...no 8's please! So let's see if it works.
Thank you all for your patience!
Testing to see if my avatar is working..
I don't think anyone should be taking the "outing" of people on this blog so casually. Is this their first step onto bigger things? If it's the person I think it is, she's in big trouble right now with the authorities and apparently, this hasn't stopped her. She had a single mother fired from her job among other things. She crazier than a junk yard dog and is capable of anything.
I, for one, would like some answers to the steps that are being taken for our security. This is no joke.
Phew glad to have that over with!
White organza LOL! Thank you for your kind words dear.

~~~~~~~~~~
My fingers were crossed too! Then all of a sudden, Working Woman not only got herself in 'blue', but didn't like the name and changed it to Sam I Am !! What?? I'm feeling even more incompetent than I was in the DAYS it took me to turn blue!
Ok, maybe this time..I forgot to sign in
Sam I Am(aka Working Woman) congrats on both getting a Google account and the avatar!!
I don't know about setting up Google accounts now, but about a year ago it was so much easier. You didn't need a gmail account then--you could just set up a Blogger account and you were all set. Luckily, I got my account before Google made all the changes.
Wait a minute. Was the blog hacked into??
I hope I didn't reveal any identifying details of myself...
Whose names were posted??
Well heck...Working Woman, I just read where you will be using Sam I Am, and I've done gone and used 'I Am' in my sn....sorry.
At least we know great minds think alike!
I, for one, would like some answers to the steps that are being taken for our security. This is no joke.

Jo, take a deep breath!
Please email Admin and stop feeding the trolls. This is EXACTLY what they want.
Move on or don't post until you feel that you're safe.
This is not the place to discuss "outing" but since the question has been asked with such demand I will say once, no I'm really not doing anything on this end and no I really don't know anything more than you do. I tend to think warring with them just makes it worse. These sort of mentally ill do not respond to normal things we would like police or the law. Often, that eggs them on.
It is up to each individual what they would like to do about it. I do not take on battles for the blog. That is up to you. Whatever that action is is up to you. Don't assume just because people are choosing a very reasonable tactic of ignoring it that people are blowing it off. I myself laughed it off, along with others, as well as a great amount of simply feeling sorry for them, when it happened to me, but one of these days they're going to find someone who won't laugh it off.

Exactly! Maybe Robert will fill in the gaps sometime soon.
miloandjack
@biblicabibs @Kateplusmy8 LOL...that's okay...has 2start there...an idea, a dream, a vision, a plan...then reality! KateIsWillingToWork! :)
__________________________
I'd love to hear Milo's definition of "work." Milo, not one of Kate's ideas, dreams, visions, or plans has become a reality in the last year and a half. If she's so willing to "work," then let's see her get a nine to five job along with millions of WORKING mothers who actually have to go to a job, PLUS take care of a house and their families. Let's see how much she likes THAT reality!
Also if I hear one more time that the sheeple got a single mom fired I'll scream. Do not bring this tit for tat here. Since I myself have no way to verify what really happened (wasn't the issue that she was on the INTERNET at work when her work did not allow that? Some don't care and some do and it's up to you to know the policy), I see absolutely NO value in dragging such things onto this blog. It is IRRELEVANT to me how righteous or terrible whatever it is happened, bringing it here, in my opinion, eggs it on and makes it WORSE.
Okay, I need help. I signed up for the gmail so I could go blue/pink/whatever. When I tried to use it to log in here, it took me to another web page. What is this old lady doing wrong???
Sam I am!!! There you are!!! Congrats!!!
Jo, for the record, the sheeple didn't get any private information from this blog, they got it elsewhere, unless it's something you yourself said here. Even little clues you drop can help a sheeple figure out who you are. Nothing has jeopardized your "security" here, so give it a rest.
I think Kate being interested in Twitter lasted a remarkable 18 months. The party's over now, she's bored. She hung onto it a lot longer than I thought!
It's either that or something else is filling her narcissistic supply.
LMG,
Was it a page listing your blogs, what to connect them to, etc?
I get that.
Just double click on the back arrow at the very top left and it will bring you here.
LMG, when I signed in here, I just had to enter my password.So, not sure about your situation.
I am outta here for the evening.
Everyone have a great night!
Oh, as for internet security...there is no such thing. As for me, I can't turn a cough into a good hack.
Thank you, Permanent Name, but I'm sticking to being black!! I skipped entering my real name, but I couldn't go any farther until I entered my real name. Then it showed me that my real name would show up if someone clicked on my profile. I am not a genius with the internet, haven't had any problems with how I've been posting, and I trust that you good people will know if someone using my name says something snotty or insulting, you'll know it's not me.
It's frustrating so maybe trying to do it after a crummy day at work isn't the best time. I'll try it again this weekend. Until then, I'm still LoveMyGrandsons in the black!

It wasn't going to last forever, especially if she got back in media/got a show.
Why grift on Twitter when you can negotiate product placements?
While the Twitter account is still sporatically active, Kate's blog is officially on life support.
Charge to 300!! Post a Menu Monday!!
Clear!!
Jolt!!
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

Sam I am! Green Eggs and Ham! You made it sound so easy. I had a terrible time going blue, and eventually went back to basic black.
Anonymous, again, it may not make it untrue, but it doesn't change the fact that it has NO PLACE HERE. THat's it, end of story. Please respect my wishes on that or leave. It keeps coming up over and over and over and over as if I can actually do something about it. I CAN'T so move the heck on, PLEASE?
White Organza, thank you so much! Feel good.
LMG, it is quite confusing, hope you have better luck next time around. For what it's worth, we like you a whole lot whether your name is in black or pink :-)
