Katie will interview those who have been there before about Amanda Bynes and the hardships of growing up in the spotlight. Guests include Mara Wilson (Mrs. Doubtfire and Matilda), Candace Cameron (Full House), and Jaleel White (Urkel!).
Blowing, because she HAS to prove damages. She has to prove whatever was done to her hurt her. By bringing in others who can say how she is, that helps prove none of this damaged her rather she damaged herself. Her own bad behavior led to her demise, not someone picking through her trash 4 years ago.
Austin Martin @TheAustinMartin 7m I wish @Kateplusmy8 would give a date to come to PA... ;) lolllll I'm ready when she is!! Kate?!?!?!? 😏😜😄😊 ----------

But having an employee testify that she never cooked the meals herself, or that she threw the kids toys in the trash has nothing to do with her "career" or why she was fired from CC or why Twist of Kate never saw air time or why she never got a dating show. In fact, since she is polarizing, I would think that her bad behavior actually contributed to her getting a stint on DWTS or being on CWS. People didn't tune in to watch those shows because she is a sweet , loving mom of EIGHT kids, but rather because she's mean and miserable. If she used the testimonies of those people, she'd actually be cutting off her nose to spite her face.
Exactly blowing. It's all one big circular argument. She behaves badly, but it probably contributed to the one-trick pony of putting her on shows to be polarizing. But eventually her career is in tatters because you can only do the trick once. People reacted to HER being polarizing first, people didn't MAKE her polarizing. It's hard to see any of this going anywhere but a summary dismissal.
Question: Robert Hoffman supposedly gave all the proceeds from the book to charity. So, what is this "money trail" that BV keeps talking about? Does he actually want people to believe that he and Jon conspired to steal the journals in order to write a book, and then lie about giving the proceeds to charity while in reality they were paying people to blog and tweet negative things to/about Kate, which would then stop her from being on TV? If so, then why did they wait for 3 years after the divorce to release the book? Jon didn't want to film while the divorce was unfolding, so wouldn't he have wanted to destroy Kate's TV career back in 2009? K+8 was cancelled in 2011, so why not release it right then, when she was begging for a new show? Why wait until long after the entertainment industry had lost interest in her to decide that it was finally time to destroy her career? She had long since done that herself!
Twitter question for the experts, since I'm a real dummy when it comes to that. If @Kateplusmy8 doesn't show up in a tweet, but the tweet contains only hashtags, how does the tweet show up on Kate's timeline? I'd never be able to figure out Twitter. I'd probably mess everything up!
Tucker's Mom said... 178 I'm one of the few, I guess, who wishes Sylvia LaFair hadn't withdrawn her complaint (which she was awarded) against Kate. While we can say she took the high road, she gave Kate more of a feeling that she is invincible and can sue whenever the mood hits her. If she loses she can just appeal. Lawyer fees don't seem to be an issue. ****** LaFair won the case she brought against Kate. She. Won. There comes a time, when you're not made of money and free time, that trying to recover your damages THAT THE JUDGE AWARDED YOU becomes to expensive, too tedious and too much of a media circus for most normal people to want to experience. I give LaFair all the credit in the world. She won; Kate has more money. There ain't no changing the facts, m'am, and them's the facts! ---------------
I know She. Won. I said she was awarded the judgement. I was merely expressing my opinion that I sometimes wish those who needed to be knocked down a few pegs WERE knocked down a few pegs instead of strutting around like they're invincible.

I was merely expressing my opinion that I sometimes wish those who needed to be knocked down a few pegs WERE knocked down a few pegs instead of strutting around like they're invincible. ****** Easy to say when you're not paying the lawyer bills. LaFair should not be expected to suffer financial hardship to put Kate in her place. It's too much to ask of anyone. For me, it is enough that LaFair won. Kate and her minions whooping it up over LaFair's dropping the suit and assuming like the idiots that they are, that Kate "won", doesn't change a thing. Let them have their hollow victory and delusions. All 8 of them. Let the story end with Kate cheating LaFair out of her rightful compensation, and LaFair stemming the bleeding when she saw that Kate would never stop until LaFair was duly plundered financially, emotionally and spiritually. It further goes to prove the kind of person Kate really is.

kateplusmy8 RT @BullyVille: And whoever had issues with "Pimpmykids" that they'd like to pursue legally let us know. Clarkson,MI is just lovely this time of year.
Why would she retweet this? I would think that she would want to stay silent about anything having to do with "outing" or a class action lawsuit. You know, this whole thing could turn on her. If I were Kate, I'd really be careful.

He's outing another non-fan...with photo, name and partial IP. I'm surprised Kate didn't retweet that.
Why not out Goody as well, especially after that "coma" wish and all the hatred that comes out of her? I guess it's fine for sheeple to act like that and they are immune to outings, but non-fans are fair game. I don't understand any of this.
Just Down The Road said... 151 FYI... it isn't summer year round in California either. We have seasons also, just not with the same extremes as other climates.
But do you have to shovel 30 inches of snow in a week, or look forward to icy roads/black ice at least once every two weeks from December through March...or hunker down during ice storms when you're afraid the pellets are going to bring down your power lines or cause trees to fall through your windows? Worst of all, worry about your loved ones at work, praying that they are going to make it home on slippery roads when there are accidents all over the place. You listen to sirens and you're sitting there watching for headlights to pull into your driveway, finally knowing that your family is safe.

What in the world? Where did I ever state that Southern CA winters are equivalent to PA winters? Uh, I didn't. If it's that harrowing for you, maybe you should consider moving.

No, thank you. Born and raised here, so I'm staying put. Besides, I don't want to distance myself from Kate. You know, "Close To You" (Milo's song) thing!
I apologize. My post wasn't intended to offend or be snarky. I was just pointing out that while Cali has seasons, PA winters are brutal and can be quite worrisome when you or your loved ones are out on the road. Of course, most of us do fill the gas tank before we venture out on the roads in a snowstorm so we don't have to worry about running out of gas or finding a gas station!

__________________ Both sides spew hatred. I know that many on here have called out the haters on Twitter for being disgusting and vile. They can really dish it out. I just read tweets from haters about a sheeple that were about as nasty and disgusting as you can get. Likewise, I've seen screenshots from sheeple that made my skin crawl. Neither side gets wings for being innocent little angels. But with BV and the outings, Kate has him doing her work for him, so yes, the nasty sheep droppings don't matter...only what Kate perceives as bullying and harassment against her.
I have to say after dealing with lake effect snow my whole life, PA winters felt downright mild. There were a couple days where it was so cold I wanted to cry, and a couple slippery ice storms, but mostly it was just quite chilly. Then it was over and spring came. Fall and spring were very nice and summer was hot but only a few really bad days. There is NOTHING like a nice warm cup of hot cocoa on a crisp fall PA day. I am homesick. I would call their weather a good mix of the four seasons without any of them very extreme.
Did you know that PA has the highest rate of retention in the U.S.? In other words if you are born there, chances are you stay there. You don't move west or south or whatever. Wonder why that is.

Canuck, I happen to think Kate is desperate to get to CA as well.
---------------------
I think so, too, Canuck. She has no future in her Ghetto-ville. California might offer opportunities for the kids, especially the twins, in acting, modeling, or whatever. She got a taste of Kendra's life, the fame she once had. She wants it again and she's not going to get it if she stays where she is.

The thing is, even if KK did move to California, she doesn't have anywhere near the money it would take to come close to Kendra's life. Period. Of course, that fact probably doesn't even enter KK's mind. She is clueless once again.
I think that perhaps the fans might have been a bit premature in rejoicing the shutting down of the other blog. I have a feeling that some of them, with no place to go, might move over to Kate's Twitter. The sheep aren't going to be very thrilled about that.

Sigh. You might be right. It's getting pretty nasty over there.

Before coming home for Christmas she posted on facebook that it was almost 70 in December! I told her to enjoy the sunshine because it was 50, gray and raining like normal in Washington State. She said she couldn't wait to get home to a cold rain! I guess the rain in PA is muggy and too warm~she did like the vibrant storms-much more animated than we get here. Otherwise she is planning on returning home to the Pacific Northwest after graduating. :)
Who'd a thunk that someone as mediocre as KG could have kicked up such a shipstorm between sheeple and haterz? This will be her legacy, imo. She brought out the crazy on both sides. Bizarre.

At the end of the day, Kate's lawsuits amount to nothing more than a big adult hissy fit.
Credible death threats would be handled by police and most likely the FBI.
Does anyone think Kate didn't already go to the police a year ago about how the digital material for the book was obtained? Doesn't look like anyone was charged.
Much to Kate's dismay, nothing said about her on the non-fan blogs was a crime. It's a shame her lawyer didn't tell her to grow up, get a thicker skin, and move on. Instead, he's happy to take her money and use a SLAPP lawsuit to intimidate American citizens exercising their right to free speech.
If any of Kate's imagined slights were an actual crime, the proper authorities would be handling it, not a lawyer.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 2h Gnite tweeties...my how we miss our chatty Kate! Hoping life gets better..stress gets easier...the funny, sweet encouraging gal comes back!
Oops. Is she still ignoring Milo? Life gets better? But Milo, Kate is the personification of positivity, the sunshine of your life, the reason for your very existence! Something's gone wrong?
I don't know about anyone else here but I think it's great that some of these people are being called on the carpet for their behaviour.
Yes, I would hope it would infect both 'sides' of this mess but honestly, how long did some of these bloggers and tweeters think they could go on and on and ON about perfect strangers?
It's not just here of course. This should happen to ALL celebrity blogs, especially the HouseWife ones, where fans/haters cannot seem to control themselves.
It's sad, really. How unhappy must these people be to interject themselves into a D-List celebrity's life? Pathetic, IMO.
Shelby - I couldn't agree more. There is a different between discussing a celebrity and just plain hating on them and their fans or non fans. It's pretty sad, actually.
LaFair won her lawsuit. Kate appealed. LaFair dropped her suit for the following reasons:
First, my suit, at its heart, was never mostly about cash. As so many legal claims are, mine was about principle; about right and wrong; about taking responsibility and being accountable for one’s words and deeds. The court’s decision gives me all the validation I need.
Second, if I decided to continue this case, I fully believe I would prevail. I'm far from the first to observe, or experience, how the celebrity press operates and this is not where my interests lie.
Third, I don’t want to be party to a proceeding that would undoubtedly require thousands of taxpayer dollars to be spent trying an appeal and providing extra security for it. We’ve all got more important things to do.
You can read more about her case and decision to drop it here:
Regarding her third reason for dropping it - at the time, the courthouse anticipated a large number of paparazzi and news crews to descend on the courthouse to cover the court proceedings, so they hire extra police officers to do crowd control. I'm sure a lot of that was based on feedback from Kate's security team (aka Steve) and Kate's own claims of harassment by the media.
The reality was a little bit more subdued. Some local news stations were there and I think one pap and that was it, but again, I could be remembering wrong. I tried to find the interviews with the police officers from that day, but I can't find them online anywhere. I'm sure though it's in the archives here, if people want to look it up.

Who is that chief stirrer? Tweet, do you know? ______________
Among the fans or the haters?
I've seen some outrageous tweets mostly on the haters side one disgusting vile and some outrageous accusations:
Kate Gosselin & her rape apologist fans r stalking women and alerting their rapists in prison where their new locations are.
WARNING!!!!! DO NOT EVER COMMENT ON RADARONLINE!!!!! That writer, David Imperel, is in cahoots with Kate!!! He is getting IP addresses for her and Bullyville! If you have twitter, BLOCK @IMPerel and @radar_online to ensure they cannot read your tweet exchanges. Please pass this along to all truthers out there who are not a part of this private group.
I just found out that Ross Mathews has written a book and its available at Target. Target even have him a book launch party! Its titled ”Man Up: Tales of my Delusional Self Confidence”. Ross started out as an intern for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Ross is an example of how a career can blossom when the person is funny, engaging, nice, willing to learn and try just about anything. I am going to look for his book next time I run by target. I read an article about a book launch party Target gave him, and Jay Leno and Chelsea Handler both came. Ross says they are like his fairy godfather and godmother. See, you can make it in Hollywood without any kids!
How did this "mediocre" mom get her end of the school year blog sentiments go viral and get an appearance on the Today Show, and Kate's constant "weeeeeeeeee!!! It's summer!!! Yay!!!" tweets and blog not? Writing skills? Wicked sense of humor? Relatable and humble persona on tv? Not Hollywood Barbie? Check, check, check and check.
I'll post her segment from her appearance on the Today Show later. There was humor throughout her stories, joy in her face and honesty, which made her relatable and just like any other average mom who's not providing everything on a golden platter. Her lunches became mediocre and not the envy of schoolmates sometime in the Fall! Real. True. Honest. Relatable. Less than perfect. This is the "it" that Kate just doesn't have. Check out her blog. Very interesting overlap with Kate (mom of 5, religious, God, bible, ministry, author, speaker...) but a totally different person. Jen Hatmaker's career could have been the sweet spot that was made for Kate through Beth's book and TLC, but Kate way, way overshot the mark.

JoyinVirginia said... 35 I just found out that Ross Mathews has written a book and its available at Target. ****** Ross *is* funny. Kate *thinks* she's funny. There's a vast difference between a wicked sense of humor, and a cruel sense of humor, getting laughs at others' expense. It makes people squirm. The best comedians poke the most fun at themselves, or at least make it an equal opportunity roast.
"If she won the suit by default, wouldn't that mean that he was essentially saying that he DID steal the things in order to help Robert write the book?"
If she wins by default, it essentially means that Jon is saying nothing at all..just like he has been doing all along. Some think lots of juicy tid bits about Kate would come out at a trial, and I am saying nothing at all would come out, as Jon won't fight her, and will remain silent, and that will be that.
JoyinVirginia said... 186 OT since I have gotten good advice here before. Little dog, about fifteen pounds, and fifteen years old, started with seizures December. She has been on seizure meds with the occasional one. Yesterday she had several seizures and now does not seem to be able to see. The dh and I were really in nags head doing house maintenance, so just back today. I have a friend with blind dog, as long as he has good quality of life she will keep him as pampered as possible. My feeling about my dog is similar. Any advice or experiences anyone wants to share will be appreciated.
&&&&&&&
Joy, the blindness is probably only temporary. It can happen in the post-ictal phase which can last for minutes, hours or even days. The dog can be wobbly, disorientated and lose vision for a while.
That said, I'd get your pup into the vet ASAP for a check-up and possible adjustment of her seizure meds. A breakthough seizure or two is always possible, but several in a row is called "clustering." It can be life threatening as the dog can over heat very quickly, and repeated seizures can also cause brain damage.
To answer your question, though: I've had two senior dogs who lost their sight. It is amazing how they can compensate with smell and hearing and still have wonderful quality of life. Just don't move the furniture around, block off stairs and, of course, leash walk only.

So scary when your little dog has seizures. My old guy had either seizures or spasms last year (with spasm at top of differential dx) and it was a helpless feeling. I hope you get it sorted out and your little dog is comfy. Let us know!

Anonymous 36 - here's the thing: I stand behind what I say. I am responsible for what I say and do, so I strive to be respectful. It all comes down to one simple rule - don't be a jerk. Don't say or write things that you wouldn't say or write if your real name was attached. I don't post on Radar but if I did I would behave the same as I do here. If Kate's team of lawyers want to try and pull me in to depose me, they can do so with my attorney present. Heck, I'll even hire Admin (if she's up for it) just to make the party even more fun! I'll bring the daiquiris for afterwards!
jacquiespalding @OccupyRebellion @Kateplusmy8 U r only hurting the Gosselin kids making statements like this! ******** Oh, dear. Kate could shut this cesspool down (oh, but that would be bad for you, wouldn't it?) in a heartbeat, LIKE JON DID, in order to shield her kids from this constant bickering tit-for-tat and vitriol, but she won't do it. If you care about the kids soooooooooo much, why don't you implore Kate to just shut her superfluous, unnecessary, mostly unattended and self-serving Twitter account down? It's like fly paper for hate and derision. It's failed and can not be made a healthy place to be. Well, maybe if Kate went private, but that would kill her follower #'s as well as her grifting opportunities. Telling her haters who hang out there to stop is like telling water to not be wet. Get it? Be the big person. Make the big gesture and do the right thing, not the thing that feels good to YOU.
Deborah Fine is a mom of multiples--twins. And now a hero. Here's her story:
Outside the house, police came across an injured woman who too had been shot: Deborah Fine. Fine told CNN she was driving when she saw the gunman pull over another woman and hold a rifle to her head. "I thought to myself, 'What are you doing? Why are you pointing this gun at her?' And so I put on my accelerator, I hit the gas, and I got in between the two of them," she said. The bold move quickly turned the gunman's attention to Fine. "I'll never forget his eyes. They were just so intense and so cold," she said. "That's when he raised his rifle." The bullets struck Fine three to four times across her body. With blood pooling around her, she slumped over and played dead in hopes that the gunman would stop.

Wow! In a split second decision, she saved that stranger's life- almost losing her own.
I'm just getting a handle on what these twitterbots are, but it's very apparent that they are out in force on Kate's TL today. Most of the posts mention watching episodes of the show. Keywords, "watching old episodes" and it gets RT like it's on fire.
It's kind of hard to explain why Jennifer Hatmaker's mommy blogs succeed when other mommy blogs don't. Vague terms like funny, relatable and captivating don't cut it. It's kind of one of those "you'll know it when you see it" things.
I guess no one knows what they would do in this situation until faced with it, but I tend to think I would floor the gas AWAY from the situation to a safe place and then call 9-1-1. Instead, this brave woman drove AT the danger. What a hero.

Outrageous tweets! Pure filth and libel, particularly the ones about Kate being dead so her kids can finally be free of her and live with the parent they love.
I'm surprised that the person hasn't been suspended. Someone here commented that when the other blog shut down, haters would migrate to her Twitter. Sadly, I think that's happening. If she makes one wise move in her life, it would be pulling the life support on her Twitter right now. Others have done it. Why can't she? Will she call on her hero, BV, to out these people? When will it end? More will just keep surfacing.

I think that for her sake, her children's sake, the sake of her fans, and her haterz- she SHOULD be responsible, and shut down her Twitter account.
Absolutely NOTHING good is coming out of it- and never will.
Kate still has her website/blog. She can pay a tech person to re-design her site to allow access only to the fans that log on.
Erma Bombeck was perhaps the best "blogger" of family life and experiences ever. Some people have what it takes and some people don't. Those who have "it" never disparage people, call them names or feel they are above the rest. That is how they last. I still love reading Erma's books and old articles. They live will on forever.
I would say that every part of the U.S. (indeed, every part of the world) has its own particular natural hazards. In California, we have earthquakes that can and do strike at any time. We also have devastating wild fires.
In PA, there are harsher winter conditions.
In OK and other states, they deal with tornadoes.
On the east coast, they deal with deadly hurricanes.
It's not a contest as to who lives in the state that has the most dangerous weather or natural hazards. At least, I hope it isn't.
Jon would be foolish to ignore any lawsuit filed against him. What he (or anyone) should do if served with a lawsuit, is speak to an attorney. Ask for help in at least filing an answer - an hour or two of an attorney's time, plus the filing fee. I would never ignore a lawsuit and let the plaintiff win by default. That means they can put a lien on any property I own now or in the future, a lien on any inheritance, any lottery winnings, any income I earn from a job, etc. Why in the world would Jon simply ignore a lawsuit and let a default be taken against him?
He's not the brightest bulb in the pack, but I'm sure he is well aware of the very real risks of choosing to bury his head in the sand.
Shelby said... It's sad, really. How unhappy must these people be to interject themselves into a D-List celebrity's life? Pathetic, IMO ----------------- I agree Shelby. Commenting on a blog that does not directly interact with Kate and Co is not the same as trying to insert yourself into the story in order to alter outcomes. Is it really worth putting themselves and their families in financial and legal jeopardy? Just to shut down a Z-lister who has zero chance of ever working again in media? The level of obsession is absolutely staggering!
Welcome back, LMG! I have missed your posts? Just as an update on my status as a GM: My daughter-in-law miscarried around her 9th week. It was very traumatic, but they came through it together. As a mother, it is so hard to see my own child having to deal with such a grown up loss--no care bear bandage and a kiss this time! The fetus had 2 complete sets of chromosomes, so there was never a chance that it was viable.
Yesterday, they announced that she is pregnant again--very early--so, cautious optimism that this is a healthy pregnancy. They are older and wiser this time around. My DIL thanked me for raising such a good son, husband and all-round good guy. If only I could have seen the future when he was holed up in his room in dirty socks and underwear, with pizza boxes and potato chip bags stuffed under his bed! It makes me smile that every time I see him, he has clean, bright white socks--without holes!.
Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) said... 54 I guess no one knows what they would do in this situation until faced with it, but I tend to think I would floor the gas AWAY from the situation to a safe place and then call 9-1-1. Instead, this brave woman drove AT the danger. What a hero. --------- I tried to post this story before, but I don't think it went through at the time. If it did, apologies for repeating myself.
When my husband and I returned from our honeymoon, we had a burglar come in through the transom window in our old apartment building. My husband grabbed the first thing he found to out on, which was a vertically striped green and blue nightshirt ( like a T-shirt that hung down to below his knees. He then grabbed his banjo, and bravely confronted the guy. One look at him, and the burglar ran out of the apartment.
Where was I? Desperately trying to DIAL 9-1-1. My hands were shaking and I was so frightened, I kept dropping the phone, or misdialing. I had absolutely no impulse to put myself in the middle of that situation! I'm guessing that with touch tone pads, I might be more successful--hopefully, will never know!
Silimom said... 47 Anonymous 36 - here's the thing: I stand behind what I say. I am responsible for what I say and do, so I strive to be respectful. It all comes down to one simple rule - don't be a jerk. Don't say or write things that you wouldn't say or write if your real name was attached. I don't post on Radar but if I did I would behave the same as I do here. If Kate's team of lawyers want to try and pull me in to depose me, they can do so with my attorney present. Heck, I'll even hire Admin (if she's up for it) just to make the party even more fun! I'll bring the daiquiris for afterwards! That's great, silimom, so do I. But if I comment that the sky is blue, should my IP address be handed over to BV and Kreider? Ever had your photo posted next to tweets you didn't make? Ever had your employer called when you weren't involved in what was being discussed? Ever had your children's names and photos posted online because someone imagined you said/did something? Isn't the Obama administration in some hot water for exactly the same kind of intrusive behavior? Why is it okay for ROL, Perel, BV and Kreider? It's not about having nothing to hide or owning your words.
TFGOT, Pink, Tuckers Mom, thanks for the info and good wishes for my fur baby. She is doing ok, going back to vet later today. She already had cataracts and bad vision, so I am hoping vision will improve after reading your info. She already leash walks all the time. Hoping she will feel better. I just want her to be happy and not have any pain. Thanks for the stories about Santa Monica shooting. I had not been keeping up with news last few days. So sad for people that lost their lives. Heroic people who helped are inspiring, to know crisis can bring out the best in people
Kate apparently "bought" these retweets from what I've read. I guess that can be done? (Twitter illiterate here, too.) Or maybe one of the fans buys these for her. *shrug*
She has a bunch of new twitterers whose timelines comprise of just RT comments from/to everyone. No back & forth conversations, just retweets.
Is this normal?
************
Normal for her, yes. They are bought retweeters. It happens when her timeline is dead, or she has something she wants to promote. I don't know why they are popping up this time, though. Is she up to something?
Someone here commented that when the other blog shut down, haters would migrate to her Twitter. Sadly, I think that's happening. If she makes one wise move in her life, it would be pulling the life support on her Twitter right now.
**************
If they decide to come here, I really wish they would pick a name and not use Anonymous. In fact, if they use Anonymous and not sign a name, I wish admin would just not publish the post. There's another one (65) and it just makes it so much harder to respond to when there are multiple Anonymouses running around!
Erma Bombeck was perhaps the best "blogger" of family life and experiences ever. Some people have what it takes and some people don't. Those who have "it" never disparage people, call them names or feel they are above the rest. That is how they last. I still love reading Erma's books and old articles. They live will on forever. ***** My mother really enjoyed Erma Bombeck's columns and books. I remember reading them too when I was an adolescent. I wonder if Erma would make it in today's culture - she was a wonderful, average-looking wife and mother. That's why my mom and so many others really enjoyed her columns - because they could so easily relate to her and her experiences. She was truly a wonderful lady.
ExNurse - I am happy to hear about your son and DIL's pregnancy and I hope it is an uncomplicated pregnancy and birth. They sound very happy :)
Speaking of seeing our children growing and maturing before our very eyes: My son completely re-organized his bedroom on Saturday - after getting up at 6:00 a.m. to go to an autograph signing by a pro football player, then working his part-time job til 6:00 p.m.! He didn't even stop to have dinner until he was satisfied, including tossing out a bunch of no longer used items. His room looks neat and nicely organized.
Ugh, more photos from Kate's 'lazy summer" on her website. Not very good ones, either.A couple are repeats, and again she tells up about the famous surprise in her popcorn...who is surprised by now??
Joy, glad your dog is stable, and hope that she feels better and regains vision soon. I know how much we all love our furry friends.

You are very welcome. I'm glad your fur baby is doing better today. It is hard to know what is best for our senior pups. As I said, blindness is not usually a problem for a good quality of life if the owner takes good care.
I'm sure your vet has warned you that late onset seizures may be caused by a brain tumor. For a 15 year old dog, I'd probably just treat the symptoms rather than do any invasive diagnostics. They are tough on senior dogs.
Just keep her spoiled, safe and as pain-free as possible for as long as possible.
The RT tweets that Kate bought usually come in sets of three or four. The last three RT's were from: @ AnjaLeder @ KanterNicole @ GUTIERREBenja These are still showing on her tweeter feed. Three hours and just a handful of tweets. The profiles of each of these tweeters are identical.
Contributed tweets for @ AnjaLeder are delivered by @ RoundTeam http://t.co/cLV3F00SVf
What's interesting is that you can usually spot a bought retweeter because their avatar is a "live" person, not flowers, or a dog, or a plate of food. Why is that?
Sheep will always be in denial that she buys these retweets. In fact, Milo was adamant that Kate would NEVER even consider such a thing. How do they explain that these accounts have nothing but retweets? Even when confronted with proof, they still won't concede. I wonder if fans buy these for her, or if she herself shells out the bucks.

Thank you, Sandi. It's disgustingly clear to me now.
I think the AnjaLeder account has been programmed to retweet tweets mentioning TLC. Look at it, it's just a bunch of TLC retweets that seem to have nothing else in common. She can't possibly take an interest in all those shows. This is so obvious!

As more time goes by, she gets skeevier, and skeevier.

However, rule number one is clear:
'' 1. Do not use Anonymous. Pick a name (click Name/URL to type in a name) and stick to the same name.''
By allowing anonymous to be posted, in my opinion Admin is undermining the integrity her own blog.
Having said that....the bottom line is still...her blog, her decision on what posts to publish.

This is immaturity at it's best, for sure. Send every living human being who dares speak ill of Kate a subpoena!!!
I understand your concern and no, I have never experienced what you describe. My husband is a senior level software engineer at a very well known tech company out here and his field of speciality is network security which obviously is a plus for me. He's been doing it for 25+ years and so I have the benefit of his expertise and am not so easily run amok by the threats of Bullyville, Kate or her fans.
Here are some articles you and others may find useful in learning what an IP address can actually tell someone about you and just how difficult it truly is. Please don't let Kate, her fans or Bullyville run you amok.
OT: Anyone ever have computer troubles and call the support number which seems to be in India? Are they legit? My e-mail seems to be hacked.I'm worried about credit card info and also losing data. Any tips! HELP PlEASE!

Yeah she's a Kate fan. Tried to meet up with her at her last marathon but it didn't work out.
What is going on with Kate these days, anyway? She used to say that haters motivate her. She said if "if you say I can't do it, I WILL". She thanked the haters for "all the buzz", claimed she didn't read their tweets, didn't see the hate. And now she's on a rampage! I think she blames the haters (and Jon and Robert) for the failure of her career. Remember Andy Cohen busting her out on watching Real Housewives? I think she watches all of the LA-based reality shows--Real Housewives, the Kardashians, Kendra--and is insanely jealous if their lifestyles and fame. She really thought she was one of them at one time, and now she's been left and forgotten out in the sticks while the rest of them bask in the sun and rake in the cash in LA. She wants to be part of that, and she can't. She must think that all she needs to do it move to LA, and she and the kids will be the next Kardashians. But Jon won't let her take the kids out of the state, and the haters destroyed her career, and she's just so made she could spit nails. That kind of rage is dangerous. That kind of rage makes people lose perspective and make terrible choices. What does she think is going to happen? That she'll silence every hater, Jon will go to jail, she and the kids will move, and she'll end up with a star on the Walk of Fame? Dream on!

Tweet-le De Tweet-le DUMB said... 87 ''Yeah she's a Kate fan. Tried to meet up with her at her last marathon but it didn't work out.'' ~~~~~~~~~~ Really? I based my opinion on her other tweets, when she commented that Shoka would be outside and cold. Another one when she tweeted that KK's entire life was fake, but the problem was that KK was too dumb to carry it off. She also tweeted that KK had dumped her entire family, including her parents. Asking if KK was going to be suing Tony Dovolani and Anderson Cooper. Those tweets don't sound like a KK fan to me.
Based on those tweets, I still believe that her tweet to bv that The Stir had ''haters'' posting was a poke at bv.

I'm totally Tweet illiterate too, and even I can see that those aren't legitimate tweets. Sheep REALLY have to be dumb as a box of hair to claim that those aren't bought retweets.
" I didn't notice what the kids looked like out by the pool, but I always do wonder at the lack of any adults in the area. Who watches them when they swim, a 12 year old sister? Kate doesn't even swim, does she? Plus it looked like one of the tups was wearing a plastic ring in the water, so maybe they don't all swim as well as Kate claims?
I called, what I thought was Apple Support and spoke to someone with an East-Indian accent who was helpful and willing to help me, but wanted to sell me an extended support/warranty product. She was adjusting the price downward as I hesitated. I still thought I was actually talking to Apple, but it was a tech company that offers support for them. I mis-read the website, saw the word Apple and called them by mistake.
I did not accept their product as I felt the pressure of a hard-sell, which is not how Apple conducts their support. I did not think they were scammers, but in business to offer tech support for them, obviously not authorized by Apple. I did not give them any payment information (Visa number) although she was pressing for a sale.
I am assuming you did not give them any form of payment. As far as you feeling your e-mail may have been hacked, I would take your computer to someone to take a closer look.
Thanks, that's exactly what happened! The man tried to get me to agree to an expensive fix/warranty package and then lowered the price by $200.00. I asked for a specific phone no to get back to them and he said he did not have one to give, so I said forget it. He suddenly provided a phone number. I did not give any payment as I am not sure 'who' he was, but I was trying to contact Yahoo e-mail help -- and he told me I have many infections and have been hacked! I guess I will do the same and take my PC in . Thanks for your story- it makes me feel unsafe dealing with these supposed help lines, since you had the same experience.
miloandjack @Kateplusmy8 Ah I see U have a rainy day there..as do we! Someone asked where Shoka is...I'm sure he is where mine are..safe/dry/inside!
Good grief! She really does check Kate's weather on a daily basis. This is just not normal.
I see there are more retweet bots on the loose. I wish someone would ask Milo and the die-hard Kate defenders how they can explain those retweets. It would be interesting to see if they respond, and what kind of excuse/defense they could come up with!
The original tweet to BV commenting on haters on other blogs was made by Patricia Chow. @ PatriciaChow1 Former Las Vegas Showgirl....Lived in Sunny Ca. traveled Europe.
@ PatriciaChow1 @ BullyVille @ Kateplusmy8 Her blog with the stir....comments there from the haters also!
Everything here is from Patricia Chows profile, you can read it all on Kates followers. Kate follows her.
I think y'all are confused because two different people tweeted about the stir.
This fan:

Remona, maybe it's possible that it was a parody twitter name with the same avatar who made those past "not so supportive" tweets you saw? That seems to have happened a lot on Kate's Twitter.
I think Kate's suing because it keeps her name out there. She probably thought that more outlets would pick up the news other than Radar. Frankly, if any judge agreed to hear her case, they need to go back to Judge School. It's a blatant attempt to keep her name out there, and a misguided one at that. And I also think she won't file it. The costs of doing that must be astronomical. It's just another way of getting everyone all in a tizzy and talking about her again. And we all feed in. I even came back here after a long time to see what was going on . . . so it's working, isn't it?
OT this is sad to write. I want to thank everyone for support. We saw vet late this afternoon. Dog got worse today, blind and deaf and not coordinated and confused. We made decision to end things while she was still comfortable. Vet thought it was probably brain lesion getting worse, all we could do was buy time maybe but not fix things. Whole family was there, dog was comfortable and loved and is now buried in her favorite spot in the garden. I love our vet, she made things as easy as possible and objectively talked about our options, and reassured us this decision was the right one to make today. We have another dog and cat and older dd has lab puppy, so we are grieving but have pets who demand attention, so you can only grieve so much. Thanks again everyone. You never know what tomorrow will bring, take time to appreciate what you have today.
While you're at it BV, sue @The_Stir. Loads of articles very uncomplimentary of K8. Comments too.

Apparently that doesn't bother Kate to work for someone who not only has trashed her repeatedly in articles but is perfectly willing to let very nasty comments through on her own post. What now she'll sue her own employer, the one who writes the checks? No of course not, it's the internet and she's a celeb and celebs get snark. If it gets out of hand The Stir need not publish it. TWOP is a great example of how to moderate celebrity snark. I have modeled this blog after them. They do a better job than me but I try.

I guess it's working on a small level but the national media hasn't picked up her shenanigans...
Joy, I am so sorry. It's never easy; we just went through this a month or so ago with our dog. Went into the vet and never came out; totally unexpected. It's awful, but I would trade a minute with him, and we treasure the memories. I hope you do as well.
So sorry you have had to make that decision but I believe it is completely the right thing to do. Your dog is no longer in misery.No greater love than what you did for her. I know you'll miss her.
Well, don't forget Kate managed to get TLC to shut down the TWOP J&K+8 thread.
&&&
TWOP said they shut it down because people were out of control on it and it was a moderation nightmare, which was 100% true.
I believe this is a reference to something I think that was said in Kate's journals, she seems to think TLC shut down TWOP. And it wouldn't surprise me one bit TLC claimed credit for that to try to keep her happy, when really TWOP decided it just wasn't worth it. I bet it's the same as what happened with LaFaire. Surely TWOP has faced legal troubles before and never backed down to my knowledge. They have threads on almost every show known to man.
Joy - I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. That is probably one of the hardest decisions we have to make as pet parents. She knows she was loved and may happy memories of her comfort you. And now I'm going to hug my bully and tell him I love him.
I don't see my post thanking you for your input on my PC issue. I did not sign up for the offered plan either. I guess I'll have to get someone to check it out and hope that my info was not compromised. Thanks for sharing; your story was so similar! I posted earlier to thank you!
In Hoffman's book, he reprinted emails from Kate asking the TLC producers to get TWOP shut down. I have no idea how it actually came to be and I know that forum was a modding nightmare, but RWA is not the first success Kate has had at quashing criticism.
She asked to get it shut down I read that, but I don't see any proof that her whining was why it got it shut down. TWOP was complaining almost since day one that that forum was an absolute nightmare to moderate and people needed to stop or they would take drastic measures. It just got worse and worse and so they put their money where their mouth is and pulled it.
Maybe she did shut it down, but I trust TWOP they would be honest about why they shut it down and not lie and say it was a moderation problem. They're just not that kind of site.

I disagree with that, but I think we can agree that Kate can't handle any criticism. Didn't anyone ever tell her you can't make people like you?
Joy, I'm sorry for your loss. Knowing that your k9 pal lived a safe, happy life takes some of the sting away. I'm glad you have other pets to hug and to keep you busy.
My first visit to the Outer Banks was 1 year ago, and it was wonderful! I can't wait to go back. I always enjoy your comments about your home there. : )

miloandjack @Kateplusmy8 So a rainy Monday..probably a mile long 2do list...what did U do 2keep ur "out of school" bunch happy 2day? :) ===============================
Milo's still trying to get a response from Kate-it's now been 2 weeks since Kate's last tweet to her.
I guess Milo hadn't seen the Daily Mail article showing that Kate took Hannah food shopping. So Milo, here's your answer to your question.
Kate went food shopping with Hannah and probably left C&M in charge of the rest of the kids. I'm sure that made the rest of the kids happy, since they had a break from their mother snapping pictures of them to post on their website.
The DM is the only media outlet that posted those pictures of Kate and Hannah. It's also strange that they made no mention of Bullyville and the lawsuit.
Wouldn't be surprised if Kate contacted Chris, because the only other outlets that mentioned the lawsuit story were a few articles on Examiner.com. Perhaps, Kate hope that by putting some pictures out there, other places would pick them up and then run the story.
Poor Kate-she's not getting the attention she expected.
Joy-please accept my condolences on your loss. I know it was a heartbreaking decision, but you did what was best. I hope having your other pets around will help comfort you during this hard time.
Kate looks a little rough in those pictures. I'm surprised that ROL didn't have the story.
------------------
So did Kate call Chris to take her picture? It was a rainy miserable day today and we were under a tornado watch. Doubtful that any paps hung out in the Giant parking lot with bated breath, waiting for Kate to show.
Kate is described as looking worn out, no argument here - greasy hair, dark roots and That Look on her face. Guess a smile for her pal Chris was too much for her today.
But Ms Organic sure uses a lot of plastic bags, plus that case of single water bottles? Guess she has not heard of the reusable kind. And did I see a stack of chinet plastic/paper plates in her cart? Maybe her 2 dishwashers are broken. Oh wait, she's on summer vacay.
Hannah probably had an orthodontic apt and it was a slow newsworthy day in their town. I bet the pap still takes the odd photos when out and about. Heck who knows, Chris the pap may have a friend at the ortho office who spilled the beans.
Why someone paid for the photos, who knows..again, slow celeb day!
I did want to say I was absolutely amazed at kate's dinner menu. Baked Chicken, sweet potatoes and broccoli! I would NEVER have thought to make anything like THAT! kate should create a cookbook. I bet it would be a Top Ten best seller! I bet she takes awesome photos of her gourmet meals too!
I'd like to thank Kate for calling her pal, good old Chris Watts, and arranging this photo op today. It is a shame, though, that she USED her daugher and H's name is even in the headline (a first?) But, I do enjoy having confirmation of just how miserable Kate is these days.
She can tweet fake sunshine and rainbows happiness all freaking day, but take a good look at her cold dead eyes, and her face. Misery is written all over that face. A very well deserved perpetual misery:
“A dream job to me would be either being a talk show host and being able to help and interview people and doing all of that,” Kate tells me. “Or I would love to do more TV where I could be host of a show and go around help moms, work out. I have a lot of great ideas. I guess bottom line is stay in TV. Because I like it.”
&&&
This is an old quote from Kate after the show ended. She has lots of great ideas. How did the "haters" stop any of that? She even made a couple test pilots. Since they never even aired what could anyone even say about them to "stop" her? The truth she refuses to face is she is a one trick pony who cannot stretch out this "career" any more, and she has only herself to blame for not learning some new tricks.
Last weeks bog, really is about Kate's most embarrassing " Mom" moment. However it is cloaked in the " I almost ran out of gas" story.
her embarrassing moment...
"Cara spilled her party cup of popcorn all over my car floor. That didn't go over very well, as you can imagine."
Yes, Kate, I can imagine. And I know tweenagers.
Those 2 extra girls in your car...they told their parents about how you reacted when the popcorn on the bottom of YOUR car floor "didnt go over very well"!
Question: Was your bog about how stressed you were about the gas light being on and worrying about running out of gas, another smoke and mirrors attempt to overhshdow your reaction to your daughter?
All very interesting considering the UN-DENIED rumors about how you have treated your children over the years. Did someone see something you didnt want anyone to see???????????

Joy, so sorry to hear about your furbaby. You did the kind and loving thing in letting her go, surrounded by love. She's out of pain now and is running free and healthy at the Bridge. She'll be there to meet you some day. Hugs to you. Give your other fur kids a pat and some extra loving.
We here know how narccisists try very hard to portray only goodness and light in public. But every once in a while they crack. And their victim is embarrassed. Their friends look at the like "wtf was *that*????!!!"
Aedoku, so sorry about your loss of your fur baby. Thanks everyone for your condolences. today I will get flowers to plant over her grave. Maybe an azalea. the cat is funny. She realizes the loss, but is thinking in her little cat brain ” one less dog to take attention away from MEEEEEE!” Cats are such narcissists.
Looks like Kate put on her best skank duds and called Chris to come to the Giant and take her photo. Really, Kate? Bra straps hanging out? Jorts so short that the pocket liner shows? Really? I wore that look in high school. I have no doubt that Kate gave Chris the heads up that she'd be out and about and when. There are no paps that hand out in Berks County shopping centers just waiting for a Kate sighting. Smile for the cameras Hannah! Mommy needs to pay the rent!

"Cara spilled her party cup of popcorn all over my car floor. That didn't go over very well, as you can imagine."
Yes, Kate, I can imagine. And I know tweenagers.
Question: Was your bog about how stressed you were about the gas light being on and worrying about running out of gas, another smoke and mirrors attempt to overhshdow your reaction to your daughter?
Those 2 extra girls in your car...they told their parents about how you reacted when the popcorn on the bottom of YOUR car floor "didnt go over very well"!
===========
Oh my gosh, Meagler! Ding ding, we have a winner! I'll bet you're right on.
I think Yahoo! News summed up the unbelievable relationship that exists between our website companies and Lexicon PR the best: “Yahoo! research estimates that the amount of free PR and media exposure Mr. McGibney has received over the past year alone is worth well north of $3,000,000. You heard us correctly, three million dollars! They show no signs of slowing down.
"The eight-year-old wore a cheery pink and white ensemble. A lace collar sat atop a long, butterfly print tank top, which complemented her white leggings and flip-flop sandals."
What the heck?? That's a plant if I've ever heard one, but why?
"Cara spilled her party cup of popcorn all over my car floor. That didn't go over very well, as you can imagine."
Yes, Kate, I can imagine. And I know tweenagers. ********* Yes, so can I. If Kate's freaking out over a granule of sugar spilling on the floor while baking can send her into a plastic bag-wrapped frenzy, then I imaging Cara felt every ounce of Kate's wrath. The thing is, I get the sense Kate's actually a slob. Anyone who can actually sleep in a bedroom that looks like that has to be a slob.
All kind of links here. Kate is using Bullyville attorney, Bullyville PR and Radar in cahoots, now Kate and Hannah photo pop up after months of no pap coverage. So what 's the end game here? Suing people for publicity? I predict a build up of publicity thus the Jon/Robert lawsuit which is nothing more than legal harrassment for publicity. I just knew there was a link between McGibney, Kate and Radar.
TLC stinks said... 164 ****** The end game is for Kate to get Kate more tv time. Funny how we haven't seen one pic of Jon, or Jon and kid/kids when I'm sure he can be found in various parking lots and gas stations in the same area. Chris? Jon hasn't been ringing you up lately?
I now think this IS just about publicity, no matter how you do it. If suing will drum up publicity then that's what they do.
It's not REALLY about clearing Kate's good name or making sure justice is served against those who wronged her. She never cared about that before.
This whole thing would be so funny if there weren't eight kids whose precious childhoods are being borrowed to make their mother relevant and provide her an income.
Even the latest go see pics of my kids in swimsuits is yet another bait and switch which takes you to no less than three blurbs about the crookbook before you ever get to the pics of the kids.
1) Kate's pink iPhone is nowhere in sight. Subliminal messaging, maybe?
2) Kate & Hannah are holding hands. Hmmm. A 9-year-old holding hands with her mama at the grocery store...How often does that happen in real (not staged) photo ops?
3) Hannah's clothes appear to be brand-new, and someone's braided her hair. I think the not-a-nanny helped get them out the door, don't you?
4) Kate's L ankle appears a bit odd. Liposuction, perhaps?
5) I suspect Kate's wearing some makeup, despite what the article says. I also think Kate's battles, chosen and not, have etched themselves into that obviously unhappy face.

We here know how narccisists try very hard to portray only goodness and light in public. But every once in a while they crack. And their victim is embarrassed. Their friends look at the like "wtf was *that*????!!!"
I'm not just talking about her scowl, anonymous. I'm talking about her overall haggard appearance. She doesn't look happy to me. You're free to conclude she looks over the moon delighted with life. I have seen many pics of people "smiling" where they actually have quite dead, sad eyes behind the smile and don't seem happy. Maybe they are, who knows, but it doesn't ring sincere. I just don't understand the automatic rush to anger when you disagree with people here. If you disagree, fine, but why snap at people? Just disagree like a normal person.
Even the latest go see pics of my kids in swimsuits is yet another bait and switch which takes you to no less than three blurbs about the crookbook before you ever get to the pics of the kids. ****************
I don't go to Kate's website and I have no interest in viewing pictures - staged or otherwise - of the kids, but I am amazed at how her fans keep falling for this bait and switch routine. At what point do you realize that Kate is not genuine and that you are just being used? Maybe they already realize this but are too involved in the fighting let go.
The fans are dumb or too prideful to admit they are being used. As for the kids, the real question is when will the KIDS realize they are being used and put their foot down? I think Mady and Cara already have and the tups are not far behind. Then what will she do when no one will pose for photos or permit her to post anything about them? Just do it anyway until they estrange her?
I took a look at the picture that Happy linked at 142 and what is up with Kate's hair? Does she still have extensions in? The hair looks crimped or something.
Hard to imagine that someone looking like that would call at Pap to come take a picture of THAT! Ha! Really? Is that the best you can do Kate? If she's trying to look pathetic, she wins the prize. Is this a "feel sorry for me" look that she's going for?
I do not believe Kate thinks she looks bad. I think she is very proud of her slim body and has no idea how worn out she looks. She doesn't see what the world sees when she looks in the mirror. So I do truly believe this was a pap setup.
Most of us stash our phones on shopping tips, Admin, but Kate? Not so much
I'm using old parking lot photos as my point of reference. In most pap photos, Kate carried her iPhone with her keys, clutched tight in her well-manicured hand as she pushed a grocery cart or carried bags out of Target. It was almost always visible.
It's just a hunch, but I think its being tucked into a pocket this time was purposeful. Seems to me she's sending a message that she's focused on her kid(s) and not so tied to her phone (twitter and the like).
And for god's sake...ditch the bra strap look. ******** So Carrie Bradshaw last century. The too long French nail too. It's like she's making up for stuff she didn't have, couldn't do or afford in high school.

It's seems that the DM is the only site that wants to post pictures of Kate. They also posted pictures of Kate(also from Chris Watts) back in February just before CWS aired. Again, she wasn't looking too great in those either.
I don't recall any other recent pictures of Kate except the ones that she herself posted on twitter. Maybe Chris thought with the BV story, he'd have pictures worth selling-but it looks like only the DM was buying. And it seems like the DM is only interested in unflattering pictures of Kate.
I think it just shows how irrelevant she is when the only stories about her(I'm not counting the frivolous Examiner articles) are on ROL in the US, and DM in the UK.
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 17h Well, look at that! An entire (rainy) summer day has slipped by without a HELLO from me to you! Baking chicken, sweet potatoes and broccoli! ******* HELLO, it's Spring, actually. I'm thinking this photo op pap pic just might be fodder for Kate's bog this week. The P people! The P people! "So, like, remember, like, when I was on like, DWTS, and like, I danced to that song, um Paparazzi?"
It's just a hunch, but I think its being tucked into a pocket this time was purposeful. Seems to me she's sending a message that she's focused on her kid(s) and not so tied to her phone (twitter and the like).
&&&&&&&&&&&&
I think that stretching it a bit. So she has her phone in her pocket. Not everything she does has to have a message attached, or some ulterior motive or grand plan. She put it into her pocket while shopping. Don't most people do that? I put mine in my pocket. She didn't have a call to make or the phone wasn't ringing when the photo was taken. It doesn't mean that a message was being sent. I'm not sure she could "think" that far ahead to tuck it into her pocket so she wouldn't appear to be preoccupied on the phone.
Sometimes it just is what it is, and sometimes conspiracies (as well as nit-picking) can go just a bit too far.
I also wonder if Kate purposely wants pictures of her posted that show her looking pale, tired, etc. What better way to show that she is a "hard working mother of 8"?
She always tweets about how "tired" she always is because she has too much to do-what better way to show it than to have pictures taken that show that.
It's funny that when she posts pictures of herself on twitter, she doesn't have that pale, tired look.
I looked at that picture and the first thing that came to my mind was Hannah' outfit (Flapdoodles, perhaps?). That's not a play outfit a kid would wear at home. White leggings? They'd be dirty in a second and Kate would have a fit. Her hair looks so neat and nicely done. Perhaps it was a Hannah's day out and they went to a salon to have her hair braided. Maybe Hannah was going to a birthday party and went shopping with Kate before she was dropped off at a friend's house. I just know that kids do not dress like that at home for summertime play!
Personally, I think Kate looks more real, going with little make up and flip flops. I will give her that. She looked so foolish shopping in her brand new White House Black Market outfits and woefully poor choice of gladiator sandals. Gosh, remember those ugly things? They showed up in every photo for a time.
I thought YOU felt your e-mail had been hacked! Now that I think back on my conversation, they did tell me I probably had viruses they could get rid of over the phone (if I bought the warranty), so I received similar scare tactics. I do think they are qualified to assist, and likely not scammers, but also not affiliated with the companies they claim to serve, nor sanctioned by them. In other words, no-name tech-types half way around the world. The pressure for payment was what raised my suspicions, so I just quickly ended the call.
The reason I called them in the first place was I thought my iPad had died. My husband suddenly remembered reading somewhere that if you held down the on/off button and the home key for about a minute, it would come back on, and sure enough, it worked!

Flapdoodles makes infant, toddler, and 5-6 yrs old clothing only. I think they don't fit in size 6 clothing anymore. Kate always mentions buying the boys clothing from Target so it's probably something from Target.

By bringing in others who can say how she is, that helps prove none of this damaged her rather she damaged herself. Her own bad behavior led to her demise, not someone picking through her trash 4 years ago.

You've got a looooong wait, Austin.
By bringing in others who can say how she is, that helps prove none of this damaged her rather she damaged herself.
----------
But having an employee testify that she never cooked the meals herself, or that she threw the kids toys in the trash has nothing to do with her "career" or why she was fired from CC or why Twist of Kate never saw air time or why she never got a dating show. In fact, since she is polarizing, I would think that her bad behavior actually contributed to her getting a stint on DWTS or being on CWS. People didn't tune in to watch those shows because she is a sweet , loving mom of EIGHT kids, but rather because she's mean and miserable. If she used the testimonies of those people, she'd actually be cutting off her nose to spite her face.
Exactly blowing. It's all one big circular argument. She behaves badly, but it probably contributed to the one-trick pony of putting her on shows to be polarizing. But eventually her career is in tatters because you can only do the trick once. People reacted to HER being polarizing first, people didn't MAKE her polarizing. It's hard to see any of this going anywhere but a summary dismissal.
Question: Robert Hoffman supposedly gave all the proceeds from the book to charity. So, what is this "money trail" that BV keeps talking about? Does he actually want people to believe that he and Jon conspired to steal the journals in order to write a book, and then lie about giving the proceeds to charity while in reality they were paying people to blog and tweet negative things to/about Kate, which would then stop her from being on TV? If so, then why did they wait for 3 years after the divorce to release the book? Jon didn't want to film while the divorce was unfolding, so wouldn't he have wanted to destroy Kate's TV career back in 2009? K+8 was cancelled in 2011, so why not release it right then, when she was begging for a new show? Why wait until long after the entertainment industry had lost interest in her to decide that it was finally time to destroy her career? She had long since done that herself!

Twitter question for the experts, since I'm a real dummy when it comes to that. If @Kateplusmy8 doesn't show up in a tweet, but the tweet contains only hashtags, how does the tweet show up on Kate's timeline? I'd never be able to figure out Twitter. I'd probably mess everything up!

I'm one of the few, I guess, who wishes Sylvia LaFair hadn't withdrawn her complaint (which she was awarded) against Kate. While we can say she took the high road, she gave Kate more of a feeling that she is invincible and can sue whenever the mood hits her. If she loses she can just appeal. Lawyer fees don't seem to be an issue.
******
LaFair won the case she brought against Kate. She. Won. There comes a time, when you're not made of money and free time, that trying to recover your damages THAT THE JUDGE AWARDED YOU becomes to expensive, too tedious and too much of a media circus for most normal people to want to experience.
I give LaFair all the credit in the world. She won; Kate has more money.
There ain't no changing the facts, m'am, and them's the facts!
---------------
I know She. Won. I said she was awarded the judgement. I was merely expressing my opinion that I sometimes wish those who needed to be knocked down a few pegs WERE knocked down a few pegs instead of strutting around like they're invincible.

Easy to say when you're not paying the lawyer bills. LaFair should not be expected to suffer financial hardship to put Kate in her place.
It's too much to ask of anyone.
For me, it is enough that LaFair won. Kate and her minions whooping it up over LaFair's dropping the suit and assuming like the idiots that they are, that Kate "won", doesn't change a thing. Let them have their hollow victory and delusions. All 8 of them.
Let the story end with Kate cheating LaFair out of her rightful compensation, and LaFair stemming the bleeding when she saw that Kate would never stop until LaFair was duly plundered financially, emotionally and spiritually. It further goes to prove the kind of person Kate really is.

Why would she retweet this? I would think that she would want to stay silent about anything having to do with "outing" or a class action lawsuit. You know, this whole thing could turn on her. If I were Kate, I'd really be careful.

Just Down The Road said... 151
FYI... it isn't summer year round in California either. We have seasons also, just not with the same extremes as other climates.
But do you have to shovel 30 inches of snow in a week, or look forward to icy roads/black ice at least once every two weeks from December through March...or hunker down during ice storms when you're afraid the pellets are going to bring down your power lines or cause trees to fall through your windows? Worst of all, worry about your loved ones at work, praying that they are going to make it home on slippery roads when there are accidents all over the place. You listen to sirens and you're sitting there watching for headlights to pull into your driveway, finally knowing that your family is safe.

I apologize. My post wasn't intended to offend or be snarky. I was just pointing out that while Cali has seasons, PA winters are brutal and can be quite worrisome when you or your loved ones are out on the road. Of course, most of us do fill the gas tank before we venture out on the roads in a snowstorm so we don't have to worry about running out of gas or finding a gas station!

__________________
Both sides spew hatred. I know that many on here have called out the haters on Twitter for being disgusting and vile. They can really dish it out. I just read tweets from haters about a sheeple that were about as nasty and disgusting as you can get. Likewise, I've seen screenshots from sheeple that made my skin crawl. Neither side gets wings for being innocent little angels. But with BV and the outings, Kate has him doing her work for him, so yes, the nasty sheep droppings don't matter...only what Kate perceives as bullying and harassment against her.
I have to say after dealing with lake effect snow my whole life, PA winters felt downright mild. There were a couple days where it was so cold I wanted to cry, and a couple slippery ice storms, but mostly it was just quite chilly. Then it was over and spring came. Fall and spring were very nice and summer was hot but only a few really bad days. There is NOTHING like a nice warm cup of hot cocoa on a crisp fall PA day. I am homesick. I would call their weather a good mix of the four seasons without any of them very extreme.
Did you know that PA has the highest rate of retention in the U.S.? In other words if you are born there, chances are you stay there. You don't move west or south or whatever. Wonder why that is.
At least that's the stat I heard a few years ago!

She got a taste of Kendra's life, the fame she once had. She wants it again and she's not going to get it if she stays where she is.

I agree with you that KK got a taste of Kendra's life, and wants it again. The thing is, even if KK did move to California, she doesn't have anywhere near the money it would take to come close to Kendra's life. Period. Of course, that fact probably doesn't even enter KK's mind. She is clueless once again.
I think that perhaps the fans might have been a bit premature in rejoicing the shutting down of the other blog. I have a feeling that some of them, with no place to go, might move over to Kate's Twitter. The sheep aren't going to be very thrilled about that.

My daughter has been going to school in PA for the past year and a half. Before coming home for Christmas she posted on facebook that it was almost 70 in December! I told her to enjoy the sunshine because it was 50, gray and raining like normal in Washington State. She said she couldn't wait to get home to a cold rain! I guess the rain in PA is muggy and too warm~she did like the vibrant storms-much more animated than we get here. Otherwise she is planning on returning home to the Pacific Northwest after graduating. :)
Who'd a thunk that someone as mediocre as KG could have kicked up such a shipstorm between sheeple and haterz?
This will be her legacy, imo. She brought out the crazy on both sides.
Bizarre.

At the end of the day, Kate's lawsuits amount to nothing more than a big adult hissy fit.
Credible death threats would be handled by police and most likely the FBI.
Does anyone think Kate didn't already go to the police a year ago about how the digital material for the book was obtained? Doesn't look like anyone was charged.
Much to Kate's dismay, nothing said about her on the non-fan blogs was a crime. It's a shame her lawyer didn't tell her to grow up, get a thicker skin, and move on. Instead, he's happy to take her money and use a SLAPP lawsuit to intimidate American citizens exercising their right to free speech.
If any of Kate's imagined slights were an actual crime, the proper authorities would be handling it, not a lawyer.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 2h
Gnite tweeties...my how we miss our chatty Kate! Hoping life gets better..stress gets easier...the funny, sweet encouraging gal comes back!
Oops. Is she still ignoring Milo? Life gets better? But Milo, Kate is the personification of positivity, the sunshine of your life, the reason for your very existence! Something's gone wrong?
I don't know about anyone else here but I think it's great that some of these people are being called on the carpet for their behaviour.
Yes, I would hope it would infect both 'sides' of this mess but honestly, how long did some of these bloggers and tweeters think they could go on and on and ON about perfect strangers?
It's not just here of course. This should happen to ALL celebrity blogs, especially the HouseWife ones, where fans/haters cannot seem to control themselves.
It's sad, really. How unhappy must these people be to interject themselves into a D-List celebrity's life? Pathetic, IMO.
Shelby - I couldn't agree more. There is a different between discussing a celebrity and just plain hating on them and their fans or non fans. It's pretty sad, actually.
LaFair won her lawsuit. Kate appealed. LaFair dropped her suit for the following reasons:
First, my suit, at its heart, was never mostly about cash. As so many legal claims are, mine was about principle; about right and wrong; about taking responsibility and being accountable for one’s words and deeds. The court’s decision gives me all the validation I need.
Second, if I decided to continue this case, I fully believe I would prevail. I'm far from the first to observe, or experience, how the celebrity press operates and this is not where my interests lie.
Third, I don’t want to be party to a proceeding that would undoubtedly require thousands of taxpayer dollars to be spent trying an appeal and providing extra security for it. We’ve all got more important things to do.
You can read more about her case and decision to drop it here:
http://technorati.com/entertainment/celebrity/article/decisions-and-the-gosselin-case/
Regarding her third reason for dropping it - at the time, the courthouse anticipated a large number of paparazzi and news crews to descend on the courthouse to cover the court proceedings, so they hire extra police officers to do crowd control. I'm sure a lot of that was based on feedback from Kate's security team (aka Steve) and Kate's own claims of harassment by the media.
The reality was a little bit more subdued. Some local news stations were there and I think one pap and that was it, but again, I could be remembering wrong. I tried to find the interviews with the police officers from that day, but I can't find them online anywhere. I'm sure though it's in the archives here, if people want to look it up.

It seems these self-proclaimed vigilantes, like Bullyville, need to be a little more careful sticking their noses where they might not belong.
WARNING!!!!! DO NOT EVER COMMENT ON RADARONLINE!!!!! That writer, David Imperel, is in cahoots with Kate!!! He is getting IP addresses for her and Bullyville! If you have twitter, BLOCK @IMPerel and @radar_online to ensure they cannot read your tweet exchanges. Please pass this along to all truthers out there who are not a part of this private group.
I just found out that Ross Mathews has written a book and its available at Target. Target even have him a book launch party! Its titled ”Man Up: Tales of my Delusional Self Confidence”. Ross started out as an intern for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Ross is an example of how a career can blossom when the person is funny, engaging, nice, willing to learn and try just about anything. I am going to look for his book next time I run by target.
I read an article about a book launch party Target gave him, and Jay Leno and Chelsea Handler both came. Ross says they are like his fairy godfather and godmother.
See, you can make it in Hollywood without any kids!
How did this "mediocre" mom get her end of the school year blog sentiments go viral and get an appearance on the Today Show, and Kate's constant "weeeeeeeeee!!! It's summer!!! Yay!!!" tweets and blog not?
Writing skills? Wicked sense of humor? Relatable and humble persona on tv? Not Hollywood Barbie?
Check, check, check and check.
http://jenhatmaker.com/blog/2013/05/30/worst-end-of-school-year-mom-ever
I'll post her segment from her appearance on the Today Show later. There was humor throughout her stories, joy in her face and honesty, which made her relatable and just like any other average mom who's not providing everything on a golden platter. Her lunches became mediocre and not the envy of schoolmates sometime in the Fall! Real. True. Honest. Relatable. Less than perfect.
This is the "it" that Kate just doesn't have. Check out her blog. Very interesting overlap with Kate (mom of 5, religious, God, bible, ministry, author, speaker...) but a totally different person.
Jen Hatmaker's career could have been the sweet spot that was made for Kate through Beth's book and TLC, but Kate way, way overshot the mark.

Ross *is* funny. Kate *thinks* she's funny. There's a vast difference between a wicked sense of humor, and a cruel sense of humor, getting laughs at others' expense. It makes people squirm.
The best comedians poke the most fun at themselves, or at least make it an equal opportunity roast.
"If she won the suit by default, wouldn't that mean that he was essentially saying that he DID steal the things in order to help Robert write the book?"
If she wins by default, it essentially means that Jon is saying nothing at all..just like he has been doing all along. Some think lots of juicy tid bits about Kate would come out at a trial, and I am saying nothing at all would come out, as Jon won't fight her, and will remain silent, and that will be that.
OT. Lionel Shriver just released a new book. "Big Brother". She is the Talk about Kevin author..
I haven't it yet.
This book will address the issue of morbid obesity.
I haven't read it yet. Missing a word in that last post. Sorry.

OT since I have gotten good advice here before. Little dog, about fifteen pounds, and fifteen years old, started with seizures December. She has been on seizure meds with the occasional one. Yesterday she had several seizures and now does not seem to be able to see. The dh and I were really in nags head doing house maintenance, so just back today. I have a friend with blind dog, as long as he has good quality of life she will keep him as pampered as possible. My feeling about my dog is similar. Any advice or experiences anyone wants to share will be appreciated.
&&&&&&&
Joy, the blindness is probably only temporary. It can happen in the post-ictal phase which can last for minutes, hours or even days. The dog can be wobbly, disorientated and lose vision for a while.
That said, I'd get your pup into the vet ASAP for a check-up and possible adjustment of her seizure meds. A breakthough seizure or two is always possible, but several in a row is called "clustering." It can be life threatening as the dog can over heat very quickly, and repeated seizures can also cause brain damage.
To answer your question, though: I've had two senior dogs who lost their sight. It is amazing how they can compensate with smell and hearing and still have wonderful quality of life. Just don't move the furniture around, block off stairs and, of course, leash walk only.

So scary when your little dog has seizures. My old guy had either seizures or spasms last year (with spasm at top of differential dx) and it was a helpless feeling.
I hope you get it sorted out and your little dog is comfy. Let us know!

Anonymous 36 - here's the thing: I stand behind what I say. I am responsible for what I say and do, so I strive to be respectful. It all comes down to one simple rule - don't be a jerk. Don't say or write things that you wouldn't say or write if your real name was attached. I don't post on Radar but if I did I would behave the same as I do here. If Kate's team of lawyers want to try and pull me in to depose me, they can do so with my attorney present. Heck, I'll even hire Admin (if she's up for it) just to make the party even more fun! I'll bring the daiquiris for afterwards!

Oh, dear. Kate could shut this cesspool down (oh, but that would be bad for you, wouldn't it?) in a heartbeat, LIKE JON DID, in order to shield her kids from this constant bickering tit-for-tat and vitriol, but she won't do it.
If you care about the kids soooooooooo much, why don't you implore Kate to just shut her superfluous, unnecessary, mostly unattended and self-serving Twitter account down? It's like fly paper for hate and derision. It's failed and can not be made a healthy place to be. Well, maybe if Kate went private, but that would kill her follower #'s as well as her grifting opportunities.
Telling her haters who hang out there to stop is like telling water to not be wet.

Deborah Fine is a mom of multiples--twins. And now a hero. Here's her story:
Outside the house, police came across an injured woman who too had been shot: Deborah Fine.
Fine told CNN she was driving when she saw the gunman pull over another woman and hold a rifle to her head.
"I thought to myself, 'What are you doing? Why are you pointing this gun at her?' And so I put on my accelerator, I hit the gas, and I got in between the two of them," she said.
The bold move quickly turned the gunman's attention to Fine.
"I'll never forget his eyes. They were just so intense and so cold," she said. "That's when he raised his rifle."
The bullets struck Fine three to four times across her body.
With blood pooling around her, she slumped over and played dead in hopes that the gunman would stop.

Wow! In a split second decision, she saved that stranger's life- almost losing her own.
Yep, she is certainly a hero.
God bless her, and her family.
I'm just getting a handle on what these twitterbots are, but it's very apparent that they are out in force on Kate's TL today. Most of the posts mention watching episodes of the show. Keywords, "watching old episodes" and it gets RT like it's on fire.
It's kind of hard to explain why Jennifer Hatmaker's mommy blogs succeed when other mommy blogs don't. Vague terms like funny, relatable and captivating don't cut it. It's kind of one of those "you'll know it when you see it" things.
Cheesesteaks! Well, lots of good foods, really.
-------
And lots of pork!
I guess no one knows what they would do in this situation until faced with it, but I tend to think I would floor the gas AWAY from the situation to a safe place and then call 9-1-1. Instead, this brave woman drove AT the danger. What a hero.
I've seen some outrageous tweets mostly on the haters side one disgusting vile and some outrageous accusations:
Kate Gosselin & her rape apologist fans r stalking women and alerting their rapists in prison where their new locations are.

Outrageous tweets! Pure filth and libel, particularly the ones about Kate being dead so her kids can finally be free of her and live with the parent they love.
I'm surprised that the person hasn't been suspended. Someone here commented that when the other blog shut down, haters would migrate to her Twitter. Sadly, I think that's happening. If she makes one wise move in her life, it would be pulling the life support on her Twitter right now. Others have done it. Why can't she? Will she call on her hero, BV, to out these people? When will it end? More will just keep surfacing.

I think that for her sake, her children's sake,
the sake of her fans, and her haterz- she SHOULD be responsible, and shut down her Twitter account.
Absolutely NOTHING good is coming out of it- and never will.
Kate still has her website/blog. She can pay a tech person to re-design her site to allow access only to the fans that log on.
It's a no-brainer, really.
Erma Bombeck was perhaps the best "blogger" of family life and experiences ever. Some people have what it takes and some people don't. Those who have "it" never disparage people, call them names or feel they are above the rest. That is how they last. I still love reading Erma's books and old articles. They live will on forever.
I would say that every part of the U.S. (indeed, every part of the world) has its own particular natural hazards. In California, we have earthquakes that can and do strike at any time. We also have devastating wild fires.
In PA, there are harsher winter conditions.
In OK and other states, they deal with tornadoes.
On the east coast, they deal with deadly hurricanes.
It's not a contest as to who lives in the state that has the most dangerous weather or natural hazards. At least, I hope it isn't.
You know, I know nothing about Twitter or it's "workings"- but I noticed something odd/interesting on Kate's timeline.
She has a bunch of new twitterers whose timelines comprise of just RT comments from/to everyone. No back & forth conversations, just retweets.
Is this normal?
Jon would be foolish to ignore any lawsuit filed against him. What he (or anyone) should do if served with a lawsuit, is speak to an attorney. Ask for help in at least filing an answer - an hour or two of an attorney's time, plus the filing fee. I would never ignore a lawsuit and let the plaintiff win by default. That means they can put a lien on any property I own now or in the future, a lien on any inheritance, any lottery winnings, any income I earn from a job, etc. Why in the world would Jon simply ignore a lawsuit and let a default be taken against him?
He's not the brightest bulb in the pack, but I'm sure he is well aware of the very real risks of choosing to bury his head in the sand.

It's sad, really. How unhappy must these people be to interject themselves into a D-List celebrity's life? Pathetic, IMO
-----------------
I agree Shelby. Commenting on a blog that does not directly interact with Kate and Co is not the same as trying to insert yourself into the story in order to alter outcomes. Is it really worth putting themselves and their families in financial and legal jeopardy? Just to shut down a Z-lister who has zero chance of ever working again in media? The level of obsession is absolutely staggering!
Welcome back, LMG! I have missed your posts? Just as an update on my status as a GM: My daughter-in-law miscarried around her 9th week. It was very traumatic, but they came through it together. As a mother, it is so hard to see my own child having to deal with such a grown up loss--no care bear bandage and a kiss this time! The fetus had 2 complete sets of chromosomes, so there was never a chance that it was viable.
Yesterday, they announced that she is pregnant again--very early--so, cautious optimism that this is a healthy pregnancy. They are older and wiser this time around. My DIL thanked me for raising such a good son, husband and all-round good guy. If only I could have seen the future when he was holed up in his room in dirty socks and underwear, with pizza boxes and potato chip bags stuffed under his bed! It makes me smile that every time I see him, he has clean, bright white socks--without holes!.

I tried to post this story before, but I don't think it went through at the time. If it did, apologies for repeating myself.
When my husband and I returned from our honeymoon, we had a burglar come in through the transom window in our old apartment building. My husband grabbed the first thing he found to out on, which was a vertically striped green and blue nightshirt ( like a T-shirt that hung down to below his knees. He then grabbed his banjo, and bravely confronted the guy. One look at him, and the burglar ran out of the apartment.
Where was I? Desperately trying to DIAL 9-1-1. My hands were shaking and I was so frightened, I kept dropping the phone, or misdialing. I had absolutely no impulse to put myself in the middle of that situation! I'm guessing that with touch tone pads, I might be more successful--hopefully, will never know!

That's great, silimom, so do I. But if I comment that the sky is blue, should my IP address be handed over to BV and Kreider? Ever had your photo posted next to tweets you didn't make? Ever had your employer called when you weren't involved in what was being discussed? Ever had your children's names and photos posted online because someone imagined you said/did something? Isn't the Obama administration in some hot water for exactly the same kind of intrusive behavior? Why is it okay for ROL, Perel, BV and Kreider? It's not about having nothing to hide or owning your words.
TFGOT, Pink, Tuckers Mom, thanks for the info and good wishes for my fur baby. She is doing ok, going back to vet later today. She already had cataracts and bad vision, so I am hoping vision will improve after reading your info. She already leash walks all the time. Hoping she will feel better. I just want her to be happy and not have any pain.
Thanks for the stories about Santa Monica shooting. I had not been keeping up with news last few days. So sad for people that lost their lives. Heroic people who helped are inspiring, to know crisis can bring out the best in people

My mother really enjoyed Erma Bombeck's columns and books. I remember reading them too when I was an adolescent. I wonder if Erma would make it in today's culture - she was a wonderful, average-looking wife and mother. That's why my mom and so many others really enjoyed her columns - because they could so easily relate to her and her experiences. She was truly a wonderful lady.
ExNurse - I am happy to hear about your son and DIL's pregnancy and I hope it is an uncomplicated pregnancy and birth. They sound very happy :)
Speaking of seeing our children growing and maturing before our very eyes: My son completely re-organized his bedroom on Saturday - after getting up at 6:00 a.m. to go to an autograph signing by a pro football player, then working his part-time job til 6:00 p.m.! He didn't even stop to have dinner until he was satisfied, including tossing out a bunch of no longer used items. His room looks neat and nicely organized.
Ugh, more photos from Kate's 'lazy summer" on her website. Not very good ones, either.A couple are repeats, and again she tells up about the famous surprise in her popcorn...who is surprised by now??
Joy, glad your dog is stable, and hope that she feels better and regains vision soon. I know how much we all love our furry friends.

@@@@@@@@@@
You are very welcome. I'm glad your fur baby is doing better today. It is hard to know what is best for our senior pups. As I said, blindness is not usually a problem for a good quality of life if the owner takes good care.
I'm sure your vet has warned you that late onset seizures may be caused by a brain tumor. For a 15 year old dog, I'd probably just treat the symptoms rather than do any invasive diagnostics. They are tough on senior dogs.
Just keep her spoiled, safe and as pain-free as possible for as long as possible.
Hugs to you both.
The RT tweets that Kate bought usually come in sets of three or four. The last three RT's were from:
@ AnjaLeder
@ KanterNicole
@ GUTIERREBenja
These are still showing on her tweeter feed. Three hours and just a handful of tweets.
The profiles of each of these tweeters are
identical.
Contributed tweets for @ AnjaLeder are delivered by @ RoundTeam http://t.co/cLV3F00SVf
Hope this answers some of your questions
What's interesting is that you can usually spot a bought retweeter because their avatar is a "live" person, not flowers, or a dog, or a plate of food. Why is that?
Sheep will always be in denial that she buys these retweets. In fact, Milo was adamant that Kate would NEVER even consider such a thing. How do they explain that these accounts have nothing but retweets? Even when confronted with proof, they still won't concede. I wonder if fans buy these for her, or if she herself shells out the bucks.

I think the AnjaLeder account has been programmed to retweet tweets mentioning TLC. Look at it, it's just a bunch of TLC retweets that seem to have nothing else in common. She can't possibly take an interest in all those shows. This is so obvious!

'' 1. Do not use Anonymous. Pick a name (click Name/URL to type in a name) and stick to the same name.''
By allowing anonymous to be posted, in my opinion Admin is undermining the integrity her own blog.
Having said that....the bottom line is still...her blog, her decision on what posts to publish.

--------------
Yeah she's a Kate fan. Tried to meet up with her at her last marathon but it didn't work out.
What is going on with Kate these days, anyway? She used to say that haters motivate her. She said if "if you say I can't do it, I WILL". She thanked the haters for "all the buzz", claimed she didn't read their tweets, didn't see the hate. And now she's on a rampage!
I think she blames the haters (and Jon and Robert) for the failure of her career. Remember Andy Cohen busting her out on watching Real Housewives? I think she watches all of the LA-based reality shows--Real Housewives, the Kardashians, Kendra--and is insanely jealous if their lifestyles and fame. She really thought she was one of them at one time, and now she's been left and forgotten out in the sticks while the rest of them bask in the sun and rake in the cash in LA. She wants to be part of that, and she can't. She must think that all she needs to do it move to LA, and she and the kids will be the next Kardashians. But Jon won't let her take the kids out of the state, and the haters destroyed her career, and she's just so made she could spit nails. That kind of rage is dangerous. That kind of rage makes people lose perspective and make terrible choices. What does she think is going to happen? That she'll silence every hater, Jon will go to jail, she and the kids will move, and she'll end up with a star on the Walk of Fame? Dream on!

Ugh, more photos from Kate's 'lazy summer" on her website. Not very good ones, either.
One of the sheeple made a comment about what good shape the kids are in and cited picture 3 and the muscles on A. I looked and those don't look like muscles to me. That looks like his ribs showing through because (maybe) he's sucking in his tummy becasue he's a little cold

OMG, I can't believe that one of Kate's fans actually tweeted to BV that "haters are also posting comments at The Stir". What the?? Are they going to turn in every negative comment that's made about Kate on every blog article ever written?
This is immaturity at it's best, for sure. Send every living human being who dares speak ill of Kate a subpoena!!!
I'm stunned.

''Yeah she's a Kate fan. Tried to meet up with her at her last marathon but it didn't work out.''
~~~~~~~~~~
Really? I based my opinion on her other tweets, when she commented that Shoka would be outside and cold. Another one when she tweeted that KK's entire life was fake, but the problem was that KK was too dumb to carry it off. She also tweeted that KK had dumped her entire family, including her parents. Asking if KK was going to be suing Tony Dovolani and Anderson Cooper. Those tweets don't sound like a KK fan to me.
Based on those tweets, I still believe that her tweet to bv that The Stir had ''haters'' posting was a poke at bv.
Kate apparently "bought" these retweets from what I've read. I guess that can be done? (Twitter illiterate here, too.) Or maybe one of the fans buys these for her. *shrug*
*************
I'm totally Tweet illiterate too, and even I can see that those aren't legitimate tweets. Sheep REALLY have to be dumb as a box of hair to claim that those aren't bought retweets.
" I didn't notice what the kids looked like out by the pool, but I always do wonder at the lack of any adults in the area. Who watches them when they swim, a 12 year old sister? Kate doesn't even swim, does she? Plus it looked like one of the tups was wearing a plastic ring in the water, so maybe they don't all swim as well as Kate claims?
Formally Duped 84...
I called, what I thought was Apple Support and spoke to someone with an East-Indian accent who was helpful and willing to help me, but wanted to sell me an extended support/warranty product. She was adjusting the price downward as I hesitated. I still thought I was actually talking to Apple, but it was a tech company that offers support for them. I mis-read the website, saw the word Apple and called them by mistake.
I did not accept their product as I felt the pressure of a hard-sell, which is not how Apple conducts their support. I did not think they were scammers, but in business to offer tech support for them, obviously not authorized by Apple. I did not give them any payment information (Visa number) although she was pressing for a sale.
I am assuming you did not give them any form of payment. As far as you feeling your e-mail may have been hacked, I would take your computer to someone to take a closer look.

Thanks, that's exactly what happened! The man tried to get me to agree to an expensive fix/warranty package and then lowered the price by $200.00. I asked for a specific phone no to get back to them and he said he did not have one to give, so I said forget it. He suddenly provided a phone number. I did not give any payment as I am not sure 'who' he was, but I was trying to contact Yahoo e-mail help -- and he told me I have many infections and have been hacked! I guess I will do the same and take my PC in . Thanks for your story- it makes me feel unsafe dealing with these supposed help lines, since you had the same experience.

@Kateplusmy8 Ah I see U have a rainy day there..as do we! Someone asked where Shoka is...I'm sure he is where mine are..safe/dry/inside!
Good grief! She really does check Kate's weather on a daily basis. This is just not normal.
I see there are more retweet bots on the loose. I wish someone would ask Milo and the die-hard Kate defenders how they can explain those retweets. It would be interesting to see if they respond, and what kind of excuse/defense they could come up with!

Remona, maybe it's possible that it was a parody twitter name with the same avatar who made those past "not so supportive" tweets you saw? That seems to have happened a lot on Kate's Twitter.
Oops! I didn't see comments #97 and #98 before I submitted my last comment. Before I make things more confusing..."nevermind!" lol
I think Kate's suing because it keeps her name out there. She probably thought that more outlets would pick up the news other than Radar. Frankly, if any judge agreed to hear her case, they need to go back to Judge School. It's a blatant attempt to keep her name out there, and a misguided one at that. And I also think she won't file it. The costs of doing that must be astronomical. It's just another way of getting everyone all in a tizzy and talking about her again. And we all feed in. I even came back here after a long time to see what was going on . . . so it's working, isn't it?
OT this is sad to write. I want to thank everyone for support. We saw vet late this afternoon. Dog got worse today, blind and deaf and not coordinated and confused. We made decision to end things while she was still comfortable. Vet thought it was probably brain lesion getting worse, all we could do was buy time maybe but not fix things. Whole family was there, dog was comfortable and loved and is now buried in her favorite spot in the garden. I love our vet, she made things as easy as possible and objectively talked about our options, and reassured us this decision was the right one to make today.
We have another dog and cat and older dd has lab puppy, so we are grieving but have pets who demand attention, so you can only grieve so much.
Thanks again everyone. You never know what tomorrow will bring, take time to appreciate what you have today.
Oh Joy I'm so terribly sorry to hear that. You did the right thing.
Joy I'm so sorry. I dread that day.

Apparently that doesn't bother Kate to work for someone who not only has trashed her repeatedly in articles but is perfectly willing to let very nasty comments through on her own post. What now she'll sue her own employer, the one who writes the checks? No of course not, it's the internet and she's a celeb and celebs get snark. If it gets out of hand The Stir need not publish it. TWOP is a great example of how to moderate celebrity snark. I have modeled this blog after them. They do a better job than me but I try.
This whole thing is just a time and money suck.
The WGN asked Kate some very tough questions. Let's throw them into the lawsuit:

I guess it's working on a small level but the national media hasn't picked up her shenanigans...
Well, don't forget Kate managed to get TLC to shut down the TWOP J&K+8 thread.
Joy, I am so sorry. It's never easy; we just went through this a month or so ago with our dog. Went into the vet and never came out; totally unexpected. It's awful, but I would trade a minute with him, and we treasure the memories. I hope you do as well.
Joy
So sorry you have had to make that decision but I believe it is completely the right thing to do.
Your dog is no longer in misery.No greater love than what you did for her. I know you'll miss her.
Well, don't forget Kate managed to get TLC to shut down the TWOP J&K+8 thread.
&&&
TWOP said they shut it down because people were out of control on it and it was a moderation nightmare, which was 100% true.
I believe this is a reference to something I think that was said in Kate's journals, she seems to think TLC shut down TWOP. And it wouldn't surprise me one bit TLC claimed credit for that to try to keep her happy, when really TWOP decided it just wasn't worth it. I bet it's the same as what happened with LaFaire. Surely TWOP has faced legal troubles before and never backed down to my knowledge. They have threads on almost every show known to man.
Joy - I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. That is probably one of the hardest decisions we have to make as pet parents. She knows she was loved and may happy memories of her comfort you. And now I'm going to hug my bully and tell him I love him.
Jumping In
I don't see my post thanking you for your input on my PC issue. I did not sign up for the offered plan either. I guess I'll have to get someone to check it out and hope that my info was not compromised. Thanks for sharing; your story was so similar! I posted earlier to thank you!
In Hoffman's book, he reprinted emails from Kate asking the TLC producers to get TWOP shut down. I have no idea how it actually came to be and I know that forum was a modding nightmare, but RWA is not the first success Kate has had at quashing criticism.
She asked to get it shut down I read that, but I don't see any proof that her whining was why it got it shut down. TWOP was complaining almost since day one that that forum was an absolute nightmare to moderate and people needed to stop or they would take drastic measures. It just got worse and worse and so they put their money where their mouth is and pulled it.
Maybe she did shut it down, but I trust TWOP they would be honest about why they shut it down and not lie and say it was a moderation problem. They're just not that kind of site.
Joy, please accept my condolences. I am so, so sorry for your loss, dear.
May your little princess rest in peace.
Love,

I disagree with that, but I think we can agree that Kate can't handle any criticism. Didn't anyone ever tell her you can't make people like you?
Mim, yes there we agree! She is just like Amy the "baker", freaks out the second anyone even so much as makes a good suggestion to her.

It is so painful to lose these members of our families and you both have our empathy and sympathy. May your memories help heal your hearts.
Joy,
I'm sorry for your loss. Knowing that your k9 pal lived a safe, happy life takes some of the sting away. I'm glad you have other pets to hug and to keep you busy.

@Kateplusmy8 So a rainy Monday..probably a mile long 2do list...what did U do 2keep ur "out of school" bunch happy 2day? :)
===============================
Milo's still trying to get a response from Kate-it's now been 2 weeks since Kate's last tweet to her.
I guess Milo hadn't seen the Daily Mail article showing that Kate took Hannah food shopping. So Milo, here's your answer to your question.
Kate went food shopping with Hannah and probably left C&M in charge of the rest of the kids. I'm sure that made the rest of the kids happy, since they had a break from their mother snapping pictures of them to post on their website.
The DM is the only media outlet that posted those pictures of Kate and Hannah. It's also strange that they made no mention of Bullyville and the lawsuit.
Wouldn't be surprised if Kate contacted Chris, because the only other outlets that mentioned the lawsuit story were a few articles on Examiner.com. Perhaps, Kate hope that by putting some pictures out there, other places would pick them up and then run the story.
Poor Kate-she's not getting the attention she expected.
Joy-please accept my condolences on your loss. I know it was a heartbreaking decision, but you did what was best. I hope having your other pets around will help comfort you during this hard time.
Kate looks a little rough in those pictures. I'm surprised that ROL didn't have the story.
------------------
So did Kate call Chris to take her picture? It was a rainy miserable day today and we were under a tornado watch. Doubtful that any paps hung out in the Giant parking lot with bated breath, waiting for Kate to show.
Hmmmm, @zackteperman is BVs PR firm. Kate is now following @zackteperman. Kate gets a story published. Hmmmm.
Kate is described as looking worn out, no argument here - greasy hair, dark roots and That Look on her face. Guess a smile for her pal Chris was too much for her today.
But Ms Organic sure uses a lot of plastic bags, plus that case of single water bottles? Guess she has not heard of the reusable kind. And did I see a stack of chinet plastic/paper plates in her cart? Maybe her 2 dishwashers are broken. Oh wait, she's on summer vacay.
Joy, please accept my condolences along with you other friends here.
You made a brave and humane decision.
Hug the dear pets you still have with you.
Sorry.
Hannah probably had an orthodontic apt and it was a slow newsworthy day in their town. I bet the pap still takes the odd photos when out and about. Heck who knows, Chris the pap may have a friend at the ortho office who spilled the beans.
Why someone paid for the photos, who knows..again, slow celeb day!
I did want to say I was absolutely amazed at kate's dinner menu. Baked Chicken, sweet potatoes and broccoli! I would NEVER have thought to make anything like THAT! kate should create a cookbook. I bet it would be a Top Ten best seller! I bet she takes awesome photos of her gourmet meals too!
Kate can I pul-lease get your recipe!!!!
I'd like to thank Kate for calling her pal, good old Chris Watts, and arranging this photo op today. It is a shame, though, that she USED her daugher and H's name is even in the headline (a first?) But, I do enjoy having confirmation of just how miserable Kate is these days.
She can tweet fake sunshine and rainbows happiness all freaking day, but take a good look at her cold dead eyes, and her face. Misery is written all over that face. A very well deserved perpetual misery:
http://i40.tinypic.com/oqitk2.png
Millicent--thanks for your kind sediments...
Joy, sorry to hear about your pup's passing. Their time with us is too short.
“A dream job to me would be either being a talk show host and being able to help and interview people and doing all of that,” Kate tells me. “Or I would love to do more TV where I could be host of a show and go around help moms, work out. I have a lot of great ideas. I guess bottom line is stay in TV. Because I like it.”
&&&
This is an old quote from Kate after the show ended. She has lots of great ideas. How did the "haters" stop any of that? She even made a couple test pilots. Since they never even aired what could anyone even say about them to "stop" her? The truth she refuses to face is she is a one trick pony who cannot stretch out this "career" any more, and she has only herself to blame for not learning some new tricks.
All this vengeance doesn't seem to be making her very happy. She looks miserable.
Joy, so sorry about your furbaby.
Last weeks bog, really is about Kate's most embarrassing " Mom" moment. However it is cloaked in the " I almost ran out of gas" story.
her embarrassing moment...
"Cara spilled her party cup of popcorn all over my car floor. That didn't go over very well, as you can imagine."
Yes, Kate, I can imagine. And I know tweenagers.
Those 2 extra girls in your car...they told their parents about how you reacted when the popcorn on the bottom of YOUR car floor "didnt go over very well"!
Question: Was your bog about how stressed you were about the gas light being on and worrying about running out of gas, another smoke and mirrors attempt to overhshdow your reaction to your daughter?
All very interesting considering the UN-DENIED rumors about how you have treated your children over the years. Did someone see something you didnt want anyone to see???????????

Joy, so sorry to hear about your furbaby. You did the kind and loving thing in letting her go, surrounded by love. She's out of pain now and is running free and healthy at the Bridge. She'll be there to meet you some day. Hugs to you. Give your other fur kids a pat and some extra loving.
That stupid look on her face, that one that says I'll pretend to be mad you're snapping my pic even though I called *you*.
The entire extent of her acting abilities.

Aedoku, so sorry about your loss of your fur baby.
Thanks everyone for your condolences.
today I will get flowers to plant over her grave. Maybe an azalea.
the cat is funny. She realizes the loss, but is thinking in her little cat brain ” one less dog to take attention away from MEEEEEE!” Cats are such narcissists.
Joy, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your doggie. I hope your pain is lessened by your memories and the love you feel.
Looks like Kate put on her best skank duds and called Chris to come to the Giant and take her photo.
Really, Kate? Bra straps hanging out? Jorts so short that the pocket liner shows? Really?
I wore that look in high school.
I have no doubt that Kate gave Chris the heads up that she'd be out and about and when. There are no paps that hand out in Berks County shopping centers just waiting for a Kate sighting.
Smile for the cameras Hannah! Mommy needs to pay the rent!

McGibney testimonial on Lexicon website:
CEO ViaView Inc.
I think Yahoo! News summed up the unbelievable relationship that exists between our website companies and Lexicon PR the best: “Yahoo! research estimates that the amount of free PR and media exposure Mr. McGibney has received over the past year alone is worth well north of $3,000,000. You heard us correctly, three million dollars! They show no signs of slowing down.
"The eight-year-old wore a cheery pink and white ensemble. A lace collar sat atop a long, butterfly print tank top, which complemented her white leggings and flip-flop sandals."
What the heck?? That's a plant if I've ever heard one, but why?
"Cara spilled her party cup of popcorn all over my car floor. That didn't go over very well, as you can imagine."
Yes, Kate, I can imagine. And I know tweenagers.
*********
Yes, so can I. If Kate's freaking out over a granule of sugar spilling on the floor while baking can send her into a plastic bag-wrapped frenzy, then I imaging Cara felt every ounce of Kate's wrath.
The thing is, I get the sense Kate's actually a slob. Anyone who can actually sleep in a bedroom that looks like that has to be a slob.
I'm so sorry Joy.
You gave your little dog so much love and the best gift you could give her. Knowing when to let her go.

All kind of links here. Kate is using Bullyville attorney, Bullyville PR and Radar in cahoots, now Kate and Hannah photo pop up after months of no pap coverage. So what 's the end game here? Suing people for publicity? I predict a build up of publicity thus the Jon/Robert lawsuit which is nothing more than legal harrassment for publicity. I just knew there was a link between McGibney, Kate and Radar.

The end game is for Kate to get Kate more tv time. Funny how we haven't seen one pic of Jon, or Jon and kid/kids when I'm sure he can be found in various parking lots and gas stations in the same area.
Chris? Jon hasn't been ringing you up lately?
I now think this IS just about publicity, no matter how you do it. If suing will drum up publicity then that's what they do.
It's not REALLY about clearing Kate's good name or making sure justice is served against those who wronged her. She never cared about that before.
This whole thing would be so funny if there weren't eight kids whose precious childhoods are being borrowed to make their mother relevant and provide her an income.
Even the latest go see pics of my kids in swimsuits is yet another bait and switch which takes you to no less than three blurbs about the crookbook before you ever get to the pics of the kids.
A few observations about the DM photo:
1) Kate's pink iPhone is nowhere in sight. Subliminal messaging, maybe?
2) Kate & Hannah are holding hands. Hmmm. A 9-year-old holding hands with her mama at the grocery store...How often does that happen in real (not staged) photo ops?
3) Hannah's clothes appear to be brand-new, and someone's braided her hair. I think the not-a-nanny helped get them out the door, don't you?
4) Kate's L ankle appears a bit odd. Liposuction, perhaps?
5) I suspect Kate's wearing some makeup, despite what the article says. I also think Kate's battles, chosen and not, have etched themselves into that obviously unhappy face.

Ha, yes!
I'm not just talking about her scowl, anonymous. I'm talking about her overall haggard appearance. She doesn't look happy to me. You're free to conclude she looks over the moon delighted with life. I have seen many pics of people "smiling" where they actually have quite dead, sad eyes behind the smile and don't seem happy. Maybe they are, who knows, but it doesn't ring sincere. I just don't understand the automatic rush to anger when you disagree with people here. If you disagree, fine, but why snap at people? Just disagree like a normal person.
Even the latest go see pics of my kids in swimsuits is yet another bait and switch which takes you to no less than three blurbs about the crookbook before you ever get to the pics of the kids.
****************
I don't go to Kate's website and I have no interest in viewing pictures - staged or otherwise - of the kids, but I am amazed at how her fans keep falling for this bait and switch routine. At what point do you realize that Kate is not genuine and that you are just being used? Maybe they already realize this but are too involved in the fighting let go.

The fans are dumb or too prideful to admit they are being used. As for the kids, the real question is when will the KIDS realize they are being used and put their foot down? I think Mady and Cara already have and the tups are not far behind. Then what will she do when no one will pose for photos or permit her to post anything about them? Just do it anyway until they estrange her?
I took a look at the picture that Happy linked at 142 and what is up with Kate's hair? Does she still have extensions in? The hair looks crimped or something.
Hard to imagine that someone looking like that would call at Pap to come take a picture of THAT! Ha! Really? Is that the best you can do Kate? If she's trying to look pathetic, she wins the prize. Is this a "feel sorry for me" look that she's going for?

A few observations about the DM photo:
1) Kate's pink iPhone is nowhere in sight. Subliminal messaging, maybe?

Tucked into a pocket vs clutched in her hands. Maybe a subtle difference, but it sends a different message, no? :)
What message? I put my iphone in my pocket all the time when I'm walking.
When Milo see the new photos of KK she going to be telling her how good she looks.

I thought it was either Chris or Steve taking the photos.

All this vengeance doesn't seem to be making her very happy. She looks miserable.

Right their is no type of joy or happiness or love in her eyes.
She's looking worn out and unhealthy.
Joy i'm so sorry to hear about your loss.
And I wonder how much she and Chris made off these two photos?
now Kate and Hannah photo pop up after months of no pap coverage.
Wonder who paid for that? Bullyville's PR firm?
That awful pic of Kate....will producers see that pic and think, "Oh! I gotta get that woman on my show!"
Or do they see that pic and think,"What an ugly person. Glad I don't have to work with *her*!"
Maybe a radiant smile and a friendly wave would be the better way to go, eh Kate?
And for god's sake...ditch the bra strap look.
I do not believe Kate thinks she looks bad. I think she is very proud of her slim body and has no idea how worn out she looks. She doesn't see what the world sees when she looks in the mirror. So I do truly believe this was a pap setup.
Most of us stash our phones on shopping tips, Admin, but Kate? Not so much
I'm using old parking lot photos as my point of reference. In most pap photos, Kate carried her iPhone with her keys, clutched tight in her well-manicured hand as she pushed a grocery cart or carried bags out of Target. It was almost always visible.
It's just a hunch, but I think its being tucked into a pocket this time was purposeful. Seems to me she's sending a message that she's focused on her kid(s) and not so tied to her phone (twitter and the like).
The reason why KK doesn't have her phone in her hand is cause.
She wants to play the good mommy role.-(IMO)
She wants to say look at me holding my daughters hand while we do quality time Mr. pap man.
Just like the pap set up it's all fake.
Other wise she would be smiling instead of the whole woe is me I'm a good mom card.
Just a thought though.
And for god's sake...ditch the bra strap look.

So Carrie Bradshaw last century. The too long French nail too. It's like she's making up for stuff she didn't have, couldn't do or afford in high school.

Fine arm-chairing! And correct, IMO! The trips, the spas, the nails, the tanning, the clothes. Everything a high school girl into that kind of thing would want.

Except you mother wouldn't let you out of the house with that outfit! Kate need to Tweet @victoriassecret for a @racerbackbra.
It's seems that the DM is the only site that wants to post pictures of Kate. They also posted pictures of Kate(also from Chris Watts) back in February just before CWS aired. Again, she wasn't looking too great in those either.

I don't recall any other recent pictures of Kate except the ones that she herself posted on twitter. Maybe Chris thought with the BV story, he'd have pictures worth selling-but it looks like only the DM was buying. And it seems like the DM is only interested in unflattering pictures of Kate.
I think it just shows how irrelevant she is when the only stories about her(I'm not counting the frivolous Examiner articles) are on ROL in the US, and DM in the UK.

Well, look at that! An entire (rainy) summer day has slipped by without a HELLO from me to you! Baking chicken, sweet potatoes and broccoli!

HELLO, it's Spring, actually.
I'm thinking this photo op pap pic just might be fodder for Kate's bog this week.
The P people! The P people!
"So, like, remember, like, when I was on like, DWTS, and like, I danced to that song, um Paparazzi?"

I think that stretching it a bit. So she has her phone in her pocket. Not everything she does has to have a message attached, or some ulterior motive or grand plan. She put it into her pocket while shopping. Don't most people do that? I put mine in my pocket. She didn't have a call to make or the phone wasn't ringing when the photo was taken. It doesn't mean that a message was being sent. I'm not sure she could "think" that far ahead to tuck it into her pocket so she wouldn't appear to be preoccupied on the phone.
Sometimes it just is what it is, and sometimes conspiracies (as well as nit-picking) can go just a bit too far.
Really, Kate? Bra straps hanging out? Jorts so short that the pocket liner shows? Really?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I saw that, and at first thought it was a bra strap. But I looked again and it could be a tank top or cami under her other shirt.
I also wonder if Kate purposely wants pictures of her posted that show her looking pale, tired, etc. What better way to show that she is a "hard working mother of 8"?
She always tweets about how "tired" she always is because she has too much to do-what better way to show it than to have pictures taken that show that.
It's funny that when she posts pictures of herself on twitter, she doesn't have that pale, tired look.
So I guess BV is going after daily mail to cause the comments aren't in KK's favor.
I looked at that picture and the first thing that came to my mind was Hannah' outfit (Flapdoodles, perhaps?). That's not a play outfit a kid would wear at home. White leggings? They'd be dirty in a second and Kate would have a fit. Her hair looks so neat and nicely done. Perhaps it was a Hannah's day out and they went to a salon to have her hair braided. Maybe Hannah was going to a birthday party and went shopping with Kate before she was dropped off at a friend's house. I just know that kids do not dress like that at home for summertime play!
Personally, I think Kate looks more real, going with little make up and flip flops. I will give her that.
She looked so foolish shopping in her brand new White House Black Market outfits and woefully poor choice of gladiator sandals.
Gosh, remember those ugly things? They showed up in every photo for a time.
Formally Duped 99.....
I thought YOU felt your e-mail had been hacked! Now that I think back on my conversation, they did tell me I probably had viruses they could get rid of over the phone (if I bought the warranty), so I received similar scare tactics. I do think they are qualified to assist, and likely not scammers, but also not affiliated with the companies they claim to serve, nor sanctioned by them. In other words, no-name tech-types half way around the world. The pressure for payment was what raised my suspicions, so I just quickly ended the call.
The reason I called them in the first place was I thought my iPad had died. My husband suddenly remembered reading somewhere that if you held down the on/off button and the home key for about a minute, it would come back on, and sure enough, it worked!

@Kateplusmy8 Hi...just wanted 2let U know Im here...just a tweet away! Hope ur having a successful/happy productive day! :)

Milo please just stop.
Kate's just not that into tweeting you lol.
Flapdoodles makes infant, toddler, and 5-6 yrs old clothing only. I think they don't fit in size 6 clothing anymore. Kate always mentions buying the boys clothing from Target so it's probably something from Target.

Well, Kate can rest easy knowing that Milo is sitting on her Twitter, just waiting for Kate.
Milo makes Barney look like a crack dealer. Seriously, she is so far beyond rainbows and unicorns.
Whatever she's wearing, Hannah looks adorable. Kate, not so much.
