The ubiquitous pizza-loving "manager"/booby guard who once never left Kate's side, has been MIA for awhile now. He has suddenly popped up again in recent months both with TLC's Honey Boo Boo and with the Little Couple. File this under #Hahahahhahaha.

Best-selling cookbook author launches Web show
By LAUREN BEJZAK
Staff Writer
"There's something about knowing what you're feeding your family," says Phyllis Pellman Good, part-owner of Good Enterprises Ltd., best-selling cookbook author and self-taught cook. "Something almost transcendent happens at the dinner table when you can all sit down together and eat at one time."
But people don't always know how to cook, she says, or know where to start learning.
Good, of Intercourse, knows the feeling. She was glued to "the simplest cookbooks" while attending graduate school at NYU, when she and her husband, Merle, lived in a dorm for married students. She studied the cookbooks relentlessly to acquaint herself.
Now, she and her husband have sold more than 11 million copies of their celebrated "Fix-It and Forget-It" cookbook series, and Good is putting her skills to work as a part-time cooking instructor and full-time owner of the Good Cooking Store in Intercourse.
Today marks the launch of "Cooking with Phyllis," a three-to-five-minute weekly online cooking show where Good herself will demonstrate how to make one recipe from start to finish.
She'll feature simple recipes made with easy-to-find ingredients as she invites viewers into her kitchen each week.
You can find it on the Fix-It and Forget-It blog, where it will also be archived, the Fix-It and Forget-It Facebook page, and on the new "Cooking with Phyllis" YouTube channel.
"You just have to give yourself to it almost completely," says Good, who loves to work with and edit books, spend time with her family and help manage all of her family's stores and projects. "I haven't wanted to just give all of that up in order to have a cooking show."
The trend of food-focused channels with reality shows such as "Top Chef" and "Iron Chef America" — instead of long instructional shows, as shown by Nielsen BookScan reports — has been stimulating for the Goods.
"This idea, and it is a growing idea, to do more instructional, short shows on the Web that are broadly available — I thought, 'I can do that!' "
Even these short shows take a lot of effort and energy, though. Illium Pictures, a film team out of Brooklyn, travels periodically to the Good Cooking Store to shoot five shows a day for three days at a time.
While this means they can build up a large quantity of shows in a relatively short amount of time, it also means a lot of prep work. Her staff has to have each recipe done in advance so the show can show step-by-step work as well as the "beauty shot" of the cooked and garnished dish.
"We have phenomenal staff here," Good says. "It takes a lot of coordination, and it takes a lot of energy, but it's working well."
Lancaster County has been and continues to be a wonderful backdrop for the Goods' success.
"(The show is) local to Lancaster because it's here in the Good Cooking Store, where we have local chefs and cooks coming in all the time," says Kate Good, daughter and assistant publisher for Good Books. "We'll make it possible for Lancastrians to see some of their favorite cooks and chefs on 'Cooking with Phyllis.' "
Phyllis says she is particularly excited to share her recipes for strawberry salsa and marinara sauce.
"Both use fresh, seasonal ingredients, which is why my mind goes to them first, I think," Phyllis says. "Plus, they're both quite easy to prepare, but their flavors are outstanding. Everyone can make them."
For more information and to check out the first show, log on to fix-itandforget-it.com or like Fix-It and Forget-It on Facebook.
Is this really what Kate wants?? I don't understand this at all. What a mess. What a mistake to put her name on this. This is not like how it was when it started, it's gotten out of control and has done nothing to help anyone. She needs to speak up and stop this. If she has any ounce of a conscience left. What if something terrible DID happen to someone involved, on either side? As someone pointed out, it happened to Nancy Grace. She would feel awful! She needs to think about that.
The anger and manic rampages are concerning. In all seriousness, there may be something going on here mental health wise that maybe a good therapist could help with. This manner of speaking and actions just aren't normal. You do not see anything like this from the government's bullying web site.
What ABOUT marijuana exactly? That's a pretty big topic! Weird question. Is that a bot maybe?
Well, here it is...almost 9 p.m. in my neck of the woods and the heat index is 98 degrees. This is insane. The dogs refuse to go out for their evening walk, which is fine with me!
Tomatoes so sorry for your lost. Our fur babies do become part of our hearts. May your memories be happy and remind you of the love
She seems to really want her family to experience the perks of celebrity.
So does Kate. Ask her kids. LOL
Anna no Kate just TALKS about how she wants this life for "the kids."
When it comes down to it, she usually takes things all to herself. The NYC trips, Australia, manicures, pedicures, sushi, Fig and Olive, Vegas, marathons. All for little ole me.
The kids are a mere tool to get what she wants.
Blech PA Dutch mom! Hope you get some relief soon!

The Goods are very well known in the area. Her husband is the author of several books on the Mennonites and Amish. The store is only about a minute from the real Rumspringa Brewery -- that is, if you're lucky not to get behind a horse with a buggy behind.

I don't think so. I checked the timeline and she's been asking Kate about pizza recipes, her favorite music, film, singers, etc. and she wants to be Kate's friend:
domilight @domilight
We'll be tweet friends @Kateplusmy8 ? ;) :D (make my wish come true)
I wonder how Milo would react if she ever found out that Kate thinks she's really obnoxious and annoying? Stay faithful and still support her, or slink away without ever looking back?
Kate is too busy shrieking and ripping her hair out at the popularity of honey boo boo and the success of her show! Maybe Kate should reconsider starving herself, be willing to mess up her kitchen floors with margarine and oil for a slip & slide and start farting all the time and SHE will get her show back....lol
OK, am I the only one with a 7th grade boy's mentality? I laughed when I read this sentence "Good, of Intercourse, knows the feeling" because I read it as "Good Intercourse, knows the feeling". I'm still chuckling.

LOL Intercourse is near Paradise and Bird in Hand.
I remember anywhere you went in PA like grocery stores or boutiques you could get Intercourse magnets or coffee mugs or things like that. It was like the joke that never stopped being funny to them.
"The Goods are very well known in the area. Her husband is the author of several books on the Mennonites and Amish."
There are so many talented people out there, so, so many, locals to celebrities, writers, composers, comics, dancers, not all in the limelight, but very talented and hardworking with much to offer, in a positive way.
Every article, every good book, every inspirational interview and/or story, a great actor, every showcase of new talent let's us see and appreciate what is happening around us on so many levels.
Kate isn't young with a mind-blowing voice or hypnotizing dance skills, she isn't older with years of training and sophistication behind a camera, she has poor grammar, punctuated with teeny bopper shrieks and giggles, sporting a bleach-blonde, big boobed bimbo look that didn't even appeal to Hugh Hefner.
At this point she has more twitter bots than fans.

Geesh, don't tell Milo! She's like a dog with a bone with these dragged out jokes. Grow a Boyfriend, anyone?
Wowser, I think the promotion and spotlight on the Boo Boo family must drive Kate up the wall. They are the TLC darlings now. Kate would know just how pampering that treatment can be.
They are IN and she is OUT.
I can't imagine how she is processing that reality.
Tweet, the extent that Kate has contributed anything worthwhile to the world, if at all, is exhausted, I think that's pretty clear. As you said there is sooo much more out there and the internet makes it much easier to partake in everything. Yesterday's news is even MORE irrelevant than it ever was before as there is so much happening today we'd never possibly take it all in. She is a victim of the modern world.
Honey Boo Boo is in, but she will be out soon enough for the next hot commodity. And then Kate will be not just one show removed from the spotlight but two. And so it will go on and on. It's over with. The saddest thing though is watching someone just completely unable to accept that it's over with, it's done, it will never, ever come back.

@ljohnson2006 LOL..Kate knows who I am..where I live...all abt me & my family! I assure U..I'm a real flesh& blood sassy southern lady! :)

If @MiloandJack was Kate why Is her name fired up 4 Kate? She's fired up for herself? The haters make no sense
Um Lauren, yes, she would be fired up for herself! ;-)
Maybe Milo speaks the truth. Kate does know who she is, where she lives, all about her family...which is why Kate ignores her!

Absolutely! What's available on the internet on a daily basis makes it so clear what a has-been like Kate is up against who has no talent, just a name for having 6 kids at once. I admit, every time I come across some wonderful new talent or book, I think of Kate out there trying to keep up...on Twitter. I shake my head in AMAZEMENT at how much of a nothing she really is...so yes, I guess I could say I find her amazing.
And Kate is just a mere tool!

Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 16 Jul
So disheartening..I let someone.. actually 2cars N front of me as a courtesy N heavy traffic. Neither said thank U! Where have manners gone?
Milo keeps helpin and helpin and no one says thank you! (It made her so upset, she found her g's!) If Milo does you a good turn, you darn well better be grateful. One day she's going to get a rude awakening when Kate blows her off completely. Kate's only being nice to her now because she's in desperation cookbook mode and Milo pumps that book.

I've been eating at the Bird-in-Hand restaurant and have heard tourists ask how to get to Intercourse, and then crack themselves up. The locals just kind of groan because they know that there's probably a follow-up witty remark to come!
I'm watching a Lifetime movie, "Love Thy Neighbor," and the Gladys neighbor reminds me so much of Milo!
A movie about Kate and the sheeple would be so much fun!
Please don't "let cars in." My school librarian's son got into a catastrophic car accident being let in. Just because it looks clear from your vantage point doesn't mean it is to them.
How do you say thank you?? You're in your car! I try to wave if someone is being nice but it's more important I'm watching the road. Traffic is not the place to play martyr.

You got that right. I was in a serious accident because a car "waved" me in, indicating the coast was clear, and bam...I got slammed. I was but a mere youngster at the time and didn't know any better, but it taught me a big lesson.
I wonder if milo is on FB. She'd be that friend or relative commenting and liking everything.
It's not a crime if you don't keep up with cousins. Sheesh. Cousins can be a wonderful thing but they certainly don't "owe" you a relationship.

I guess there's no way it could be "because" of her efforts??? People like Gladys Kravatiz never get it, never.
I kind of feel bad since clearly there is a severe lack of self awareness going on. Usually by this time after so many failed relationships most people would have thought it's probably themselves. Or at least considered the idea. Sadly this just never occurs to poor Milo.
I guess there's no way it could be "because" of her efforts??? People like Gladys Kravatiz never get it, never.
------------------
In this LMN movie, the wife was talking to her husband about the nosy neighbor and just said, "I don't know. There just is something not right about her."
In a sense, Milo is much like Kate. She will never understand that she may be the cause of problems in relationships. Something just isn't "right" there.
I'm sorry about the librarian's son, but really this is a bit ludicrous. It is entirely possible to let people in front of you in heavy traffic without endangering any lives. It happens millions of times per day. You don't ever let anyone in front of you because of a horrible accident you know about? By that logic, you should never drive.
No, I've let cars in. But I don't WAVE them in. If I slow down a bit and make room for someone to merge in, the choice still remains up to them to go or not. I cannot see everything they can see. The problem with it is inexperienced drivers or drivers just not thinking might, and in many cases do, assume your wave means the coast is clear everywhere. Problem is, you only know the coast looks clear to you. You don't know if it's clear on their side.
I was taught the same in driver's ed so it's not ludicrous to them I guess. When you wave, you could be taking the power of the decision away from the other driver by making it for them. I don't ever want the guilt of a car accident because I waved someone in.
Of course anyone waved in should probably check it's clear THEMSELVES, and most probably do, but since I don't know the other driver from Adam (how old they are, teenager brain or not, experienced, inexperienced) and whether they will also look themselves, I'm not going to risk it.
It's not logical to do something just because a car accident happened unless certain unnecessary behavior caused that and other accidents. It is not necessary to wave someone in. You can accomplish the same safely by slowing down and making room, this is done every day on our freeways without waving. And in fact you're supposed to slow down and let merging cars in if you are slowing down to exit. Just sharing my experience, I don't find it safe.
There's other issues with it too. Confusion. Was that a wave? Did she wave at me or was she just scratching her head? I'm sure confusion over waves or not waves has caused accidents too. I don't suggest to other drivers what they should do on the road, that is their decision.
Oh my gosh just saw this when I was googling about it. If you live in New Jersey. Do NOT wave someone in:
A Monmouth County jury awarded $1.5 million to Michael Lewis of Asbury Park, NJ as compensation for serious injuries he sustained when he collided his motorcycle with a vehicle operated by Thurman Baker in the case of Lewis v. Baker, et al. What was unique about this case was that a truck driver, David Carhuamacca of Queens, was held fifty percent liable for the incident because he waved Mr. Baker into traffic just prior to the crash. Under New Jersey law, anyone who waves another automobile into traffic can be held liable if the car being waved into traffic causes an accident.
Whoa.....don't do it in PA either!
A second view, and the view that is taken by Pennsylvania courts, is that whether a driver waving another driver across a roadway intends to communicate anything more than a yield of passage is a matter that can be determined by a jury. Pennsylvania courts will look at the full circumstances of the incident to determine whether or not the waving driver can be held liable.
the type of signal given;
the reasonable interpretation of the signal given;
whether or not giving the signal was negligent; and
whether the negligent signaling was a cause of the accident in question. See Askew by Askew v. Zeller, 521 A.2d 459 (PA Super, 1987)

But Kate can't think that far ahead. Her brain isn't wired like that. She can't sit down and look at a situation logically, and say, "If I do this, then what if this or that happens?" She lives in the moment, and it's all about her. There are no consequences for any unwise decisions because what she does in the present always seems, in her mind, to be right. She acts on the spur of the moment, and she'll justify it some way.

************
OK, that's a little different. Your initial post said not to LET them in.
Susie, you're right. You're right. It felt good in that moment for someone to really stand up for her and give her "justice" whatever that means to her. She cheered it on because it felt good and vindictive, because that's her personality--vindictive. She did not think about how long this war would last, what else would happen, what the fallout would be, who would get hurt, how stupid and uncouth it could make her look. It just felt good right then, that's all she knows. This is not unlike many decisions she has made in her life, like filming. And when it stops feeling good her solution is to just pretend it never happened.
As far as I can tell she's been twitter silent for at least a couple days now. She's just abandoned all this to let it fester.
Sorry anonymous, I did say let. I am referring to actual waves. I'm not talking about just your typical slowing down or making room that does indeed happen all the time. And actually, Milo's post didn't say wave herself she just said let, although I seem to distinctly remember she has complained before about waving cars in and I had the same reaction--don't do it! However, I guess I pictured a wave because apparently it was so significant to her that she expected a thank you for it.
Letting cars merge should be just fine as long as the decision is up to them, not you. And actually we all know there are many times you should yield. It's usually unsafe to cut someone off trying to merge, etc. But, you can't expect a thank you. Sometimes it's more important you watch the road then try to crank your head around and shout thank you and ask for their address so you can ship them flowers and chocolates on their birthday every year until the apocalypse.
If you've ever been in an accident caused by someone waving you in, you know better than to trust a person who does it. He/she might mean well, but depending on the circumstances and location of your vehicle, you don't take that chance.
Nor will you ever wave a person in because you remember what happened to you. Even if it appears safe to do so, you have no idea how fast the other person will acknowledge your wave. In a delay of a few seconds, another car could be coming, and there you sit...watching an accident for which you know you are partially responsible.
Pa Dutch that is a great point. It may be safe at the moment you wave, but unsafe 4 seconds later. But 4 seconds later may be when the car actually goes. Car accident.
Like I said the road just really isn't the place to go around being charitable. I think it's sweet people just want to be mr. nice guy on the road and brighten someone's day by being overly courteous, but it's not always safe. Go visit some kind of brick and mortar charity if that is on your heart. But don't wave anyone in driving over. :)
Is is sociopathy that you wouldn't consider anything but the immediate consequences when you make a decision?
You aren't supposed to have to treat a merge like a yeild - it's not. It's a merge. You HAVE to let a merging vehicle in - it's like joining two roads into one - you must be courteous for both those on the main road and those in the merge lane. Give and take.
Right. That's what a yield is though right? If there's cars there you yield if not you can go. Same thing. However this really doesn't work well on the 101 or 405. It becomes more of a everyone sort of slip in where they can! I try to avoid the far right lane unless I'm getting off to avoid all those potentials for problems. Defensive driving is a good thing.
Point being though if this was a merge that Milo is talking about (she's unclear) apparently she wants their firstborn for just doing what you're supposed to do and letting them in.
OT -- Does anyone here watch Suits?
A new season started this evening.
Very crisp TV.
Just watched last nights Jimmy Fallon show, he had Mama June from Honey Boo Boo on. She was promoting premiere show, the scratch and sniff episode. Jimmy asked about show, had she expected it to be success, and she admitted being surprised. She said it was providing a nice savings account for the girls and the grandbaby, split five ways. She told Jimmy they were not moving, and they were going to enjoy doing the show a long as it lasts.
June was also promoting HER BOOK! A small book, titled ” How to Honey BooBoo: the complete guide on how to redneckonize the Honey Boo Boo in you”.
The book has recipes! And according to blogger reports June s book signing in Barnes & Noble in NYC on tues had great turn out and June herself was nice as can be.
I've noticed this so glaringly with Kate and some of her fans.
Life is this big game of points. It's so WEIRD. They cannot do ANYTHING without assigning this fictitious point value to it and then assigning another fictitious point value to the recipient for what they "owe" them. NOTHING, NOTHING can be done just because. Everything is assigned a value that they expect an equal or greater value in return for it.
What an awful way to live life. Does that really make them feel good? I do think Milo has a helper personality as much as it probably gets annoying to people when it's too much. She definitely wants to get in there and do something tangible for others. I understand she also has a tit for tat personality. I think Milo should take a deep breath and just do something she would normally do (help a neighbor, a cousin, let someone in) but not expect ANYTHING in return. Not even eye contact, much less a thank you, much less some kind of relationship. I think if she accepts there very well could be absolutely nothing in return, then when she does sometimes get a response as she will eventually, it will feel especially good to her as opposed to, "ok great 'check' that off, I got my points returned." Anyone who is charitable knows often there is no response or no what you would expect. There's a level of acceptance you have to have of that reaction if you're going to continue to do anything like that or you just won't enjoy it anymore.
I should add, and it's obvious, that in addition to expecting equal points exchanged back and forth for good deed, for any perceived "wrongs" they want each and every misdeed punished with a certain amount of fictitious "points" deducted from the person.
This is how a fourth grader processes their world, not grown adults. Life doesn't always work that way and sometimes you just have to move on and let it go.
Pa Dutch that is a great point. It may be safe at the moment you wave, but unsafe 4 seconds later. But 4 seconds later may be when the car actually goes. Car accident.
--------------
That's what happened to me. I was only a kid at the time...new driver. Other fellow waved me on. It was probably clear when he did it, but I hesitated because I couldn't see and wasn't sure what to do in that situation. I trusted him. In one split second, another car was there and slammed me. Car was totalled.
PA Dutch mom thank goodness you're ok! The teenage brain really shoudn't be responsible for heavy machinery. It's not stupidity, it's the teenage brain. It's astounding how fast your chance of a car accident lowers once you reach your 20's.
Tweet, I feel like the old 15 minutes of fame has been shaved down to 5 minutes these days. Back in the caveman days we would have to wait for the newspaper or nightly news to see who was the next big thing. Now it's instant. I think we've sped up our processing of events. Some youtube sensation has been seen by everyone within a couple days and then they're old news. It just didn't seem to happen that fast before. I hand it to Kate, she kept the kids on T.V. five years. That's decades in T.V. years. It's impressive, I'll admit it. But pop culture was speeding up then and is going a mile a minute now and invariably as has happened to MOST people like her, she's been left in the dust. Her 15 minutes were marked on the timeline and it's on to the next thing. Those marks are getting shorter and shorter and for a has-been to break back in now I think is harder than ever. Think about it, you don't really see as many people being able to do some kind of "come back" no matter who it is. I think there's just way too much out there for someone we've already seen to find a spot anymore. I guess the question becomes will we kind of settle into this new way of life smartphones glued to our hands, find our footing and stop moving so fast? I really doubt it.
I love the study of pop culture as much as I love psychology.
Apparently Austin is still waiting to buy his plane ticket. Poor guy.
Some IHOP pancakes would taste very good right now!

--------
When I read this, I also thought that you were literally saying not to let cars in. The second paragraph didn't clarify that you meant not to wave people in.
In Seattle, if we don't let people in, no one would get anywhere because the roads are so poorly designed and exits are poorly marked and confusing. It is customary to give a "courtesy wave", which is done by holding hand up at the level of your head, with just a short, single movement--no twist of the wrist involved. This is usually acknowledged with a return courtesy wave. This is a regional custom--in Chicago, the only part of my hand used to communicate with other drivers, was my middle finger..
What I dislike is that "courteous" driver who stops and waves me through even when they do not have to, and puts me not only in an illegal and dangerous situation but slows down traffic to boot!
At a corner close to my house, there is a 2 way stop. I have had drivers who do not have the stop sign, stop and wave me to go, or make my turn??? Are you kidding me? That car coming up behind you decides to go around and slams me, I will be the one in the wrong.
I even had a person flip me the bird once because I refused to go. He is probably like Milo, telling someone how ungrateful I am to his "courteousy". In the end they slow everyone down.
Admin, I don't think Kate was the one to keep the show on for 5 years. It think it was Eileen O'Neill and her crew. I think they closely watched the ratings and had a good handle when the advertisers would send them the "ho hum" message. They strung the show out as long as they could milking every advertising dollar they could.
I think the trend began to change and Eileen saw it--more "down home" (redneck and I don't want to be insulting) shows were what was in. Kate was done. Whether they threw her to the wolves with the RV show is debatable IMO.
But the bottom line is, Kate sucked a lot of perks out of them and they made a bundle from her. Kate's done, TLC lives.
If Kate hadn't shown her true self perhaps she'd have been able to snag something else. She blew it and those platitudes she tweets on a daily basis don't really cut it...not even the ones from The Donald.

Literally true, Admin. The pre-frontal cortex, which is responsible for reasoning skills and mature decision-making doesn't fully develop until the 20s. If there is addiction or substance abuse, the development will be further delayed and may never develop normally. One of the benefits of 12 step recovery is that by stopping the addiction process and applying healthy tools for living can produce physiological changes that effectively heals the brain.
Off topic:
I don't usually make OT comments but I just want to share this. A while back I stopped my TV subscription. I seem to recall someone else did at the same time and Adm. asked to keep her posted as to how that was working out.
I want to say, with Netflix as my evening entertainment, I am so happily satisfied. I love mysteries, especially British mysteries and I've found a goldmine. Many were never shown here. The acting is excellent, the stars are real looking, as in not Kens and Barbies with perfect hair and blinding white teeth, and in Barbie's case, not size 0 with surprisingly huge breasts.
I can watch Netflix all night commercial free...no clicking the remote past 10 30 sec. commercials.
I have so many mysteries and documentaries in my que I doubt I'll ever see them all, and new things are added. By new, I don't mean shows that are on TV right now, but they're new to me and commercial free (my new mantra).
So that's the end of my OT rant other than to say I doubt I'll ever subscribe to TV again and saving that 50 something dollars and knowing the sponsors don't have my attention makes me smile a little. Oh, and I haven't had the urge to run out and get some fast food ever since I quit TV. Coincidence? Hmmm. :)
"Literally true, Admin. The pre-frontal cortex, which is responsible for reasoning skills and mature decision-making doesn't fully develop until the 20s. If there is addiction or substance abuse, the development will be further delayed and may never develop normally. One of the benefits of 12 step recovery is that by stopping the addiction process and applying healthy tools for living can produce physiological changes that effectively heals the brain."

That's interesting. I just read the other day that the male brain doesn't fully mature until the late 30s, the female brain a bit earlier. I always take what I read with a grain of salt. With the internet, one never knows, do they? There are so many conflicting opinions. I think a good thing that could come from the internet is if people started thoroughly using our gift of common sense. I doubt that will happen in my lifetime though.
I watched Honey Boo Boo's mama June on the Katie show yesterday. What separates her so evidently from Kate is her authenticity. June is not trying to morph into a Hollywood glamazon with delusions of grandeur. She put some "paint on that barn" (ie: makeup) but wore normal clothes and sneakers. She knows and accepts that the reality is that the gravy train will stop at some point. Her kids go to public school and their education is never interrupted for filming. They have not changed their lifestyle and all the money is being saved for the KIDS and their future. The BLATANT difference between June and Kate is that June REALLY does everything FOR her kids. She and Sugarbear love their family and it's evident on the show by how much they laugh and spend time together no matter how crude or redneck-osized it seems...it is obvious they are all about family! Kate could learn from June!
Tweet -- I agree with you on the TV thing. I dropped my cable subscription about a year ago too. I joined Netflix and Hulu and, with my Amazon Prime membership I get free streaming on some shows there, too. The only thing I miss is sports -- My Reds games are on a Premium channel, and I miss being able to watch them. I also miss The Weather Channel when the weather is bad. But for approx. $22 a month, I can watch pretty much anything I want online. My cable would run over $80. If I'm not going to be around to do any watching, I can put a hold on my account and not have to pay, unlike with cable. Hulu does have commercials, but I can always play solitaire on the computer while waiting for the commercial to air. Plus I can watch when I want instead of when a show airs (I have a VCR but not a DVR). Well worth dropping that cable bill. I love those Brit. mysteries too!
Getting ready for another scorching day here.
Everyone with a record-breaking heat index, take care.

There's a certain loathing of her PA roots that Kate I think has always had, and it's just gotten worse as she's had fame, money and travel.
She sees shiny balls everywhere she goes. Wyoming? They have organic ice cream and a touristy shopping town! How many farms can you look at? Seen one seen them all? Move Kate to Wyomming because it's so much fun to visit on vacation!
Well, you know, most places seem so much better when you're on vacation and not working full-time and commuting and dealing with the cost of living.
I don't get the sense that June it just itching to bust out of her small house and buy a mansion. I've watched her house tour on YouTube and she admits everything is small, but there seems to be a lot of sentiment in there because that's where her family is.
And it struck me-- that house IS memories.
That being said, I hope HBB's show stops soon. All of this attention at such a young age, from the pageants to having a titular reality tv show so young, way too young, is a recipe for disaster.

I have no idea about that, but I think the car accident statistics do support the research. They drop drastically year to year. You are four times more likely to crash your car as a teen than when you are 25.

Which is why I would always scream at my tv when Jon or Kate would talk about how the kids "choose" to film or not to film, so if they want to do it, the show will go on. As if they have the ability to agree. They're agreeable, but not able to truly agree.
Kate's a nurse, so I have to assume that she's not stupid, just willfully ignorant.
A child in no way, shape or form can understand the impact of fame, and losing privacy and can't project consequences. Therefore, the children can not possibly weigh pros and cons in a mature fashion and give informed consent. Unfortunately, a parent can sign away for their child.
They are simply not capable of such a feat at their age (and we're talking 4-5 years old at the time!), even if they are something of a miracle, they are not wunderkinds.

Yes, I've been shouting that too. To suggest a child that age is capable of such foresight and reasoning is just ignorant. A five year old can decide what icecream he wants and what shirt to wear. Not whether he should film.
Frankly even a teenager isn't quite able to understand all the implications of filming, although they are a lot better at it. How many teens have we seen who were child stars who when they hit their 20s suddenly said wait a minute what am I doing I want OUT. Maura Wilson is the classic example.
Your brain just isn't the same as an adult's. The world and its consequences is suddenly revealed when you reach a certain age.
Think about it, you don't really see as many people being able to do some kind of "come back" no matter who it is
*******
Think about the ever-expanding pool of has beens, competing to get on the "sixteenth minute of fame" shows like Apprentice, DWTS, Celebrity Mole etc.
In rare instances, these shows can reignite a career for a time (Andy Dick), but mostly, these "celebs" go back to trying to string together "gigs" that spin off of their one-time, one-note fame.

Just watched last nights Jimmy Fallon show, he had Mama June from Honey Boo Boo on. She was promoting premiere show, the scratch and sniff episode. Jimmy asked about show, had she expected it to be success, and she admitted being surprised. She said it was providing a nice savings account for the girls and the grandbaby, split five ways. She told Jimmy they were not moving, and they were going to enjoy doing the show a long as it lasts.
*******
You mean June didn't say that when HBB is 18, she'll be off tv??
Apprentice is a good example. Look at the regular Apprentice show for no-names (not celeb apprentice). They've probably had 150 contestants or even more on that show over the years. All but really two of them have been able to make any kind of media presence last. Bill and Amarosa. Those odds are STEEP. The rest of them have to go back to their normal lives and probably don't even get recognized anymore.
Since I consider Kate in the pool of no-names who hit on a reality show, the odds apply to her too. When it's over, it's probably over. If you can manage to get in that .1% that actually make a career out of it, you are very lucky. Even so, we're only a few years out with Bill and Amarosa. If we check in after a couple more years, they likely will be out too.
In the earlier comments posters were discussing fair trials. There is one that I know of that was completely unfair. It was Ryan Furguson's. My husband and I saw the episode on 48 hours and were shocked at the end to see he was still in prison. Especially considering the two main witnesses for the prosecution admitted they committed perjury. The whole system that convicted him is corrupt. If you are interested there is a Facebook page called free ryan ferguson. Very interesting! His last name is spelled with an e. Because I'm on my phone, I can't go back and change the first one. I have been reading this blog for years and love all the insights. You ladies rock. Formerly DFWmom, but we have moved. Now I'm CCmom
I hate merges. Here people just speed up rather than let mergers in! I always hold my breath until I'm in ! Massholes!
Hot here too until Sunday, then normal temps. not really cool, but this is miserable.
I think the trend began to change and Eileen saw it--more "down home" (redneck and I don't want to be insulting) shows were what was in. Kate was done.
&&&
Exactly. Multiples were the thing in 2003. Now everyone has them--yawn. We've already seen enough shows to demonstrate every wacky situation multiples could get you in, that topic has been exhausted. The thing now is deep south redneck stereotypes who often have unique jobs. Honey Boo Boo, Duck Dynasty, Swamp People. I have to hand it to Eileen, she saw the trend and capitalized on it. This is the harsh reality of the T.V. business. When you're out you're out. When we're tired of redneck stereotypes, those people too will be out and we'll move on to some other trend.
BV unleashed another outing on one of the non-fans and someone please explain to me why this is a big deal.
Pimp My Kids aka PMK had 752 sock accounts, 2747 total comments on RWA. To all her victims, you are now vindicated. http://www.bullyville.com/?page=articles&id=748 …
These weren't sock accounts, they were names used on RWA that referred to the topic under discussion. As someone mentioned previously, it's possible to sign any name to a comment, there's no need to make up an entirely new account with an email address. If this person had 752 email accounts, well, that's a different matter. But she didn't. People do it here and I think I'm going to do it for this comment :) 2700 comments on an active blog is not a big deal either, good grief, there are probably regulars here with that many comments. If you love a blog's topic and are active on it, well, you comment! There are a couple of sheeple blogs that wish they had members commenting in those numbers.
What does BV gets out of this, other than some of his teenage anons getting all excited and throwing adulations at him along with the sheeple doing high 5's with their hooves.
If he's trying to frighten Kate's haters he's doing a lousy job of it. In fact all he's doing is further throwing Kate's career down the drain.
Please, please explain!

____________________
Fortunately for me and my pocketbook, I'm not a sports fan. I didn't realize it was the trendy thing to do, don't have any family members or friends who do it. Lots of them complain about the poor quality of TV shows and way too many commercials but none have cancelled.
Ex nurse you might want to check your state laws to see if you are liable in your state if you wave someone in. The last thing anyone needs is to be hit with a million dollar lawsuit. Even so, be very careful. You just don't know who is behind that wheel and like I said I wouldn't want the guilt and heartache of watching someone I waved in subsequently get into an accident.
Even so, we're only a few years out with Bill and Amarosa. If we check in after a couple more years, they likely will be out too.
*******
Bill has what it takes for the current RTV trend-- new marriage, starting a family, compelling stories with surrogacy and survival. There's still a lot of meat on those bones to pick at for a few more years, although Bill and Juliann *say* they're only going to film their child for 2 years, then move to Chicago for a normal life.
I'll believe it when I see it. They'll be among the few to none that walk away from a lucrative RTV career.
Tucker and Admin -- That always used to bug the heck out of me, too. Not only can't children of that age make the decision to film, but also some of the kids clearly didn't want to film -- Cara, Mady at times. I always thought that some of Mady's misbehaviors on the show were because she knew she'd be "grounded" from participating and she saw it as a reprieve and not a punishment. She, and Cara to some extent, were clearly bored by the activities geared toward their younger siblings, and were frustrated with having to be "on" while being virtually ignored.
Don't get it, I think you're preaching to the choir. This doesn't prove anything and no one has been able to explain why he can provide his findings to the "victims" in private so they can address it how they choose. Whatever happened to his class action lawsuit he promised?? It's baffling to me how these people can't see they are just being used and strung along. I repeat, he has ten ads on this web site. TEN! Wake up.
He leaves out that those 2700 comments came over a period of 18 months and if you do the math, it's only 5 or so comments a day. That other person I believe only was averaging 3 odd comments a day. Big deal. Most of the regulars here easily do that here. Some people prefer text, some email, some facebook, but five "statements" anywhere a day is really not at all concerning. In fact in this day in age, it's rather low! You could make five comments in five minutes and then leave the blog for the rest of the day.
I'm so relieved to read other people's thoughts on "too nice" driving. My husband does it all the time. He's got a kind heart, bless him, but I tell him time and again to stop waving people in! It doesn't make you a bad guy if you just follow the rules of the road. Do random acts of kindness NOT in the car.
It's confusing! If everyone just follows to rules and doesn't deviate in either direction, we'll all be better off.

I had no idea Netflix had so many subscribers. Many years ago we had HBO but they would show the same program over and over and over. I just couldn't justify paying for that.
Saving over $100 a month sounds good to me. ;)
When we were stationed in Germany they had a partnership type program called "Hello partner! Dance Schoen!" It encouraged you to let someone in to the traffic flow on the surface streets. The ran commercials on both American and German TV with a little jingle. I don't think it was really waving someone through as much as letting someone into the flow of traffic. We've all seen those people that tailgate the car ahead of them and will be damned if they'll let anyone in. Letting so done in ahead of me is a common courtesy IMO.
I suggest you just don't worry about what BV is doing. Or bring it onto this board. Why bring attention to it? Unless of course you are one of the people being exposed, you have nothing to worry or be embarrassed about.
It's confusing! If everyone just follows to rules and doesn't deviate in either direction, we'll all be better off.
&&&
Amen. What people don't realize is that deviations on EITHER side of the spectrum--being a jerk or being too nice--cause accidents.
Our traffic is more or less set up that you should always know who should be yielding and who should be going. Even at a four way stop there are rules that apply to every situation, even if you all reach it at the same time. Adding hand waves and other "nice" things can confuse the rules. Accidents ensue.
Even letting someone in his its limits. Its just as dangerous to slam on your breaks to let someone in, as it is to speed up and cut them off. However naturally people are reluctant to be too scolding of the nice Milos of the world. I guess it's not as egregious to people if you cause a catastrophic car accident because you are being nice. I see too nice drivers or ignorant pretty frequently and a four way stop is a good place to find them. I can't count how many times the other person was clearly there first but they waved ME on. Drives me nuts.
Also, I just went to his site and looked at it. He is calling them "aliases" and not socks. I don't really care about this because I never read RWA but this PMK person seems to have a screw loose.

****************
How silly is this whole thing? How petty to be outing people on Twitter in order to garner attention to his ridiculous website. Wow. How about helping people who are REALLY being bullied? Not an aging reality star who has probably four people on her Twitter timeline making negative remarks about her and six supporters making negative remarks about her ex-husband. Makes BV look desperate.
Marie
Don't Worry About It, I think your point is well taken. While I think those tactics are outrageous no matter how much a person's screw may be loose, I think we've pretty much said all that needs to be said about it. I think most people here never even posted to that site here so it does become at this point sort of something that isn't directly impacting us, as much as I think it's wrong.
At this point, I believe we've got some anger issues going on as well as possible mental illness from at least some of the participants, and giving that attention is probably doing more harm than good. It is probably best to ignore now.
Meanwhile back at the ranch Kate hasn't said a thing about this fiasco. She's busy retweeting compliments and some retweet saying she's not racist (I'm sorry, she's still talking about that?? Everyone else moved on weeks ago. Guilty much?). Even though this fight is supposedly all about her, darn if she wants to get her boots all muddy. She makes others do the dirty work while she puts her feet up. She really is "there" for them like a real friend should be, isn't she?

Pimp My Kids aka PMK had 752 sock accounts, 2747 total comments on RWA. To all her victims, you are now vindicated.
There are several REAL things going on with bullying that someone interested and educated in this subject could really provide some good compentary on and guidance on instead of wasting their time defending some ex-reality star who is just as much a bully herself.
For instance, some discussion points: How about this new anonymous texting service that is allowing schoolyard bullies to send texts anonymously to their victims? They interviewed one young woman who is getting teased about her weight, and it's really cutting her down.
http://www.katu.com/news/problemsolver/Anonymous-texting-services-used-to-bully-kids-215602331.html
How about Florida's new tough anti-bullying law that allows schools to discipline you for bullying OFF campus too? Perhaps this is something other states should consider?

Have I heard mention of any of these important news stories from this week from BV? Sure haven't. This topic is an important one and we need people who take an interest in it to participate in the discussion. It does NO GOOD to these kids to go on some rampage about aliases. As someone said yesterday, he's in a pissing match with a bunch of old ladies. It's true, and it's pathetic.
Meagler, exactly, maybe Milo's victims were ticked that she put them in a dangerous situation and that's why they blew her off and didn't say thank you. I have had the exact same thing happen, people who didn't even have a stop or yield waving me through when they CLEARLY have the right away.
I've experienced it as a pedestrian too. I don't care how frantically you are waving me through, if it's not safe I'm not going.

I have to amend or add to my moment of realizing this show was off. I think what actually bothered me the most, or at least left me yelling at the tv, was a scene during the Utah trip that involved Cara.
Cara was obviously having a bad day and was acting up. She went up the stairs into what looked like the Master BR and slammed the door in the crew's face, who were following her.
Instead of giving her space, or any adult telling the crew to back the heck off, they waited there silently, with the camera leveled at Cara's height so that when she opened the door to come back out, the camera would be right in her face. You could SEE Cara's surprise that the crew laid in wait to capture a "gotcha" moment.
When Cara looked shocked and upset that the crew would do that to her, she once again slammed the door to get some semblance of privacy for a while.
I felt like I needed a shower after watching that.
Those aren't innocent "socks" or pick a name for a topic. I read them (well some) they are attacking the sheeple with real names address and phone numbers, family. Not acceptable.
I know many of us here didn't participate in that but we should not be trying to condone that behavior. Much of it is criminal IMO.

No one is condoning the behavior! However if your position is that outing is wrong, then even outing someone who is doing that is wrong, correct?
This is a classic case of two wrongs don't make a right. I think everyone has made it quite clear that any outing shouldn't be going on. And frankly at this point is just getting old. It's gotten to the point where some people have been outed multiple times!
Once again, if BV has information he feels would be helpful for those trying to resolve their problems, there is no reason on God's green earth he can't provide it to them privately.

It is a kind of morality tale that reverses itself and then comes back to center.
I recommend it for any sleepless night.

A mental picture of that really is quite amusing! Sheep with their hooves in the air!
An average of five comments a day. FIVE. He makes far more than five comments a day on his own twitter account. Not really much of a difference. In fact he's made 4,920 total tweets!! (OMG call the authorities) What's the darn difference? This is all just silliness. Plain silliness.
Bullyville leaves out that that PMK person was all but gone before he came around & started attacking people & stirred things up. 5 comments a day. Whoopie.
I don't want to stir things up, but what is this latestMeanwhile back at the ranch Kate hasn't said a thing about this fiasco.

Forgive my ignorance, but is this latest fiasco BV "outing" more people on Kate's Twitter or RWA??
Thanks.
A little story re: people letting other cars in....
I'm driving along, everything's good. Suddenly all traffic comes to a screeching halt.
Some moron has stopped in the highway, and is waving a waiting bicyclist across two lanes of traffic! In the meantime, I almost hit the car in front of me, AND I'm almost rear ended!
The bicyclist wasn't trying to burst into traffic. He was clearly waiting until there was a break in the traffic. The car driver can't just keep on driving. Nope. He's gotta stop all traffic and wave this other guy across. Being Mr. Nice Guy, you know.
And just who was this moron car driver? When he pulled into the right turn lane later, as I passed him, I looked over to give him the stink eye.
Ah....it's my littlest brother. Mr. Nice Guy himself. I called him up later and have him h*ll for being an idiot and endangering everyone in sight. Sheesh! You'd think at age 35 you'd have more sense!
Five comments a day is pretty low considering some days that blog was used almost as a chat room with a lot of back & forth discussion. I hope this made BV happy because it's a non-event to most people.
He outed a couple people with IPs, an aerial photograph of their location, I believe their name, and every comment they ever posted on RWA.
All in the name of Kate, yet Kate sits there and says nothing and retweets some platitude about don't judge??? Seriously, that deserves a WTF. Either you are okay with this or not, but you don't get to be the center of what this is all about and sit there and say and do NOTHING. It's despicable.
I'm not sure how Milo expected the other drivers to 'thank' her. Did she want them to get out of their cars and hug her? They were probably too busy focusing on traffic around them to be concerned about sending her a thank you kiss. I would never expect other drivers to thank me, it is not NECESSARY.
Yes like twitter is used as a chat room and sometimes when we get going this blog too.
How often do some people text a day? Send an email out? Pick up the phone? Not to mention in person conversations. It's not unusual or odd for humans to communicate five or more times a day. You may not like what they choose to talk about, but to act like this proves anything is just silliness, especially from someone who has tweeted double that.
Forgive my ignorance, but is this latest fiasco BV "outing" more people on Kate's Twitter or RWA??
Thanks.
-----------------
I'm trying to figure it out, too. Apparently he is getting his info from the subpoena issued to the owner of RWA and then cross-referencing it with names used on Twitter. But what does it matter how many posts a person put on RWA? They were commenting, not harassing Kate via Kate's Twitter...unless this is is part of the class action suit filed (by whom? BV?) for harassment of the fans, which supposedly was done on that blog as well as Twitter. But the comments on RWA weren't sent to Kate. I don't know.

___________________________
Not sure what you're asking. The information BV is providing via his Twitter is what he has found on the RWA blog. Those people posted at RWA and were also some of Kate's most outspoken non-fans.
Anyway you look at this, you can't pretty it up. No problem with multiple screen names. It is the motivating factor behind it. To libel and harass people and to keep them from figuring out who is doing so.
LB of course normal people don't expect a thank you. Milo wants a thank you and maybe a trophy too! I don't even expect a wave if someone feels I've done something to help them. I'd rather they just watch the road. It's just the road, and we're supposed to be all trying to promote traffic flow ANYWAY! My rewards in life come from family and friends not perfect strangers who merged into traffic successfully thanks to me not cutting them off.
It's the same with Kate isn't it? They think she deserves a medal for rolling out of bed. You don't get a trophy every time you act like a nice, good, smart or kind person or when you do something you're SUPPOSED to do.
So you are condoning PMK's comments on the minor children of sheeple?
Are you asking me? I have no idea what this person said but it's pretty clear some very nasty things were said by the people who have been outed. I think there's bad behavior on all sides.
Again, I think two wrongs don't make a right. That is not "condoning" anything? If someone robs your house, do you get to rob them and it's okay? Of course not. It does not "condone" the first robbery to state that the second one was wrong. All this is doing is escalating the war, it's not solving a darn thing.
Those aren't innocent "socks" or pick a name for a topic. I read them (well some) they are attacking the sheeple with real names address and phone numbers, family. Not acceptable.

I never posted there, and never had a Twitter account, but who is condoning it? It has been discussed so many times on here that what the "haters" were doing on Twitter and other blogs is just so over-the-top and is just not right. There have been many on here that felt that brutally attacking the fans with nasty comments, erroneous information, goes beyond what is acceptable. The sheeple, though, appear not to have clean hands in all of this. Both sides just need to stop the insanity. Nothing good is going to come out of the Twitter wars or BV's "outing." There are no wins in this situation and it amazes me that nobody can see this.
There are some on Kate's Twitter, both haters and sheeple alike, with more than a few screws loose...some real mental issues going on, not to mention the hypocrisy that shows up on there, with one of them on an almost daily hate vendetta against Jon, but then lambasting the non-fans for their hatred of Kate. Nothing makes sense with either side, and it never will.
Strong opinions about people who had strong opinions about them. For those sheep to cry innocent victims with the things they've done and still do is laughable. Anyone see the things that Goody person writes? They gave as good as they got at all three of their blogs and Twitter.

We see it, apparently. Sometimes it feels like we're the only ones though. No one will win, it won't end well, it's only going to make things worse. It's so frustrating they don't understand this. I cannot imagine how they handle conflicts in real life. That's got to be a nightmare.
As I recall the person before this to get "outed" had said some very nasty and unfair and often untrue things about me and some of the other posters here. Of course I don't condone such things, I don't like it at all. I don't care for either of these people or most of what they said about myself and others. I simply don't think this is the solution to deal with them.
All in the name of Kate, yet Kate sits there and says nothing and retweets some platitude about don't judge??? Seriously, that deserves a WTF
*******
It's sad because these "outed" people could get hurt and all over a website that Kate never had to read, and a Twitter account the needn't exist.
As others have said, if there are credible threats to Kate and her family, let the authorities handle it.
Maybe I'm naive, but I thought Steve's job was to handle this stuff. Just because Kate's no long on TV, does that mean his security presence goes away, whatever that entailed in the first place?
I can't imagine a professional security guard, who guards Presidents (cough, cough), would condone BV's tactics. It only engenders more bad juju all the way around.
It's vigilantism and a terrible example to set for the children.
Admin--
The courtesy wave happens AFTER you make the move--we do what you described--slow down to leave the space. The wave is the "thank you" acknowledgement. The only time I might wave is when I stop for a pedestrian to let them know I will wait until they cross my car. And, I always make eye contact so they know that I see them. In Seattle, when one person stops, the oncoming car will also stop. If I am the pedestrian, I don't assume that means that I don't have to check the other direction. But, in Seattle, people are very polite. They may be seething inside, but an outsider will never show that.
I would say it's not going to end well for the people how made the libelous comments. They better hope the person they were targeting has done the same thing to them.
It's harder to do a courtesy wave on a six lane highway, though I saw it more when I lived in areas with less traffic.
I don't interpret it as people not being polite, I interpret it as people watching the road double-fisted! :)

Talk about regional driving habits. In Massacheusetts, if a car stops to let someone go first at an intersection, the car behind them will drive up the sidewalk to get around them. Some major insurance companies have pulled out of that state because of the crazy drivers.

Eventually if this keeps going and going it's probably not going to end well for someone. And if it comes out that Kate was behind encouraging some kind of tragic ending for someone, exactly how is that going to make her look? No one is going to care what you may have said to her, or the "haters" or the "fans" if you end up dead because you can't handle the public lynch mob. People will care that Kate Gosselin championed it. She just doesn't think. She is a wealthy woman with a dozen different above board channels at her disposal to handle her problems without driving someone over the edge. Why doesn't she have her BFF Marty Singer write an extortion letter to this person since the courts just said he can have at his letters! No one will blame her if she used legal and proper means to handle a bad situation. But she WILL be blamed when she chooses vigilante methods. I would urge her to really stop and think about this. It's always a good idea especially as a celeb to go through proper legal channels for your own protection in case anyone does end up hurt or dead. And also? It's just the right thing to do. She is a celeb now, and covering her ass should be her priority. She's left it completely bare aligning with this mess and it speaks to her sheer stupidity. Whatever happens now don't say she wasn't warned that it could all turn around on her at some point. And you KNOW BV will sell her down the river the first chance they get and blame her wash their hands of it.
I was going to say of course we don't condone it, and we've had our posts here cherry pick then lambasted on another blog. I never understood why anyone would come over here just to lift comments and throw tomatoes at them.
Admin has been viciously attacked and we've all been called a bunch of "pearl clutchers", which I thought was particularly funny.
I've been posting her for a couple years and we've managed to stay civil and even kind to other blogs who hated on us in some sort of imaginary Sharks and Jets rivalry.
There's enough to be angry about in the world, so why go after people who essentially AGREE WITH YOU?
But, in Seattle, people are very polite. They may be seething inside, but an outsider will never show that.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&
So what happens when all of that built up "inside" seething anger surfaces and explodes? ;)
Just yesterday, I did what I thought was a good thing as I waved a driver to pull in in front of me from a merge lane. The driver hesitated and I realized the car behind me was approaching quickly and didn't seem to notice me tapping my brake pedal to call attention to my brake lights. In a split second I had to risk accelerating and possibly hit the car I waved in, or be rear-ended. The car merged just in time, and an accident was averted, but I then saw the driver was from out of province and tentative. In retrospect, I was at fault for not recognizing the potential danger I put 3 drivers in by an act of kindness. I will always be courteous while driving, but better assess the situation next time. Lesson learned.
I can't imagine a professional security guard, who guards Presidents (cough, cough), would condone BV's tactics. It only engenders more bad juju all the way around.

That Presidential bodyguard couldn't even speak up and defend one of the girls when it came to pizza in bare hands. Do you think that he would get involved with BV's tactics?
Yes Tucker we've agreed with many things they've said and now here many of us are sticking up for them when bad behavior toward them happens.
The rival was completely imaginary in their heads, and all rather silly. And here we are, standing up for someone's right not to be outed even though they've been NASTY to us and others and outed others. That really says a lot about the people here.

Strong opinions about people who had strong opinions about them. For those sheep to cry innocent victims with the things they've done and still do is laughable. Anyone see the things that Goody person writes? They gave as good as they got at all three of their blogs and Twitter.
----------
The sheeple are far from innocent when it comes to outing the non-fans. The two current "fan" blogs have done it as well as the blog that was resurrected. It was always 'well if they can do it, so can we' and it all makes no sense. People have been hurt in real life already and more will be too.
I don't think BV is stupid and can clearly see what the sheeple have done and continue to do. He was hired, or chose Kate's side of things because it was a semi-celebrity and he knew it would bring hits to his website. The sheeple are too stupid to realize they're being used and will continue to do their high five happy dances. They better watch out...with this unbearable heat, they'll soon be lamb chops :)
Ahahahaha, a little levity.
I'm watching the View and Stacy Kiebler is co-hosting along with Mario Cantone.
Stacy is George Clooney's recently monikered ex-girlfriend/beard(?) and a DWTS alum. She's going to host a new cooking show on Lifetime called Supermarket Superstars, where contestant try to get their original food product on supermarket shelves by winning $100,000 in product development.
10 episodes.

Yes, it's quite true in Mass.. I have seen that many times. Also on a left turn advanced green about nine cars go when it turns red to get to the Mass Pike at the intersection I use to go there.Driving in Boston is terrifying!!Double parking, no regard for other drivers or pedestrians or bikers, cutting people off,profanity...I am quite happy to drive in my suburb and take the train to Boston on many occasions.I did get side-swiped by a truck in a single lane in my own neighborhood as I reported here last year though. Never got my deductible back.
OT Netflix I want to recommend a controversial but excellent series that was created just for Netflix. "Orange is the New Black". It deals with an upper class woman who's jailed in a minimum security prison that has some inmates who are interesting, to say the least. It's very graphic but the story line was riveting. There's lots of humor, aha moments, fine acting. This is the second just-for-Netflix series. The first "House of Cards" was just nominated for multiple Emmys.

Another scream at the TV moment.
"Steve, you're a grown-ass man! Figure out lunch for yourself"
Jeez, in some ways, did Kate Jonathanize Steve, where she wittled him down to a point where he'd rather keep his mouth shut and let Kate rant?
It sure looked that way when Kate called Steve into the RV so they could have a spat in private.
Hi All! Just got back from holiday in Niagara Falls (Canadian side) to a major heat wave. Blech!
Yesterday it was 43 degrees Celsius with the humidex (that's 109F) and similar temps today and tomorrow. Thank goodness it's supposed to cool down over the weekend.
Sending sympathetic (and sweaty) waves to those of you experiencing similar weather.
Just wanted to add my two cents to this comment about driving...
Admin said...(97)
"I've experienced it as a pedestrian too. I don't care how frantically you are waving me through, if it's not safe I'm not going."
This is a huge pet peeve of mine. I realize that it's usually an exercise in courtesy but I'm astonished that some people don't realize how dangerous it is.
Not necessarily for two drivers involved but for someone coming up behind who doesn't realize what's going on.
'Why did that driver go ahead when they don't have the right of way?'
At first I would concede and just go ahead until the time I almost got side swiped and I vowed never again. People may think me rude but if they have the right of way, I stay put until they move.
I've seen some baffled looks while people are trying to wave me in and I just shake my head no.
There's a time for politeness; holding a door open, getting an item that's out of reach at the supermarket or giving up a parking space.
But on the road, it's just safer for all concerned to follow the rules.
Looks like Andy Dick is not taking advantage of his 16th minute of fame. From Radar:
"When she dropped him back off at the party, the woman said Dick asked to borrow $20. The following day, separate insiders told the paper Dick was kicked out of a party after urinating in a bush."
http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/07/hell-raising-in-the-hamptons-tortured-soul-andy-dick-incredibly-intoxicated-during-summertime-parties/
This is particularly sad after seeing him sober on DWTS, and then appearing as a guest on TV shows.
It must be so hard for his family.
I hope he can regain his sobriety, his dignity and his career, in that order.
LB of course normal people don't expect a thank you. Milo wants a thank you and maybe a trophy too! I don't even expect a wave if someone feels I've done something to help them.
&&&&&&&&&&
If she gets upset to the point where she has to tweet about not getting a thank you from someone on the road, I can't imagine what would happen if Kate would ditch her, given all of the support and emotional energy she put into this "relationship."

Tweet-le, do you watch Midsomer Murders? That's my all-time favorite British mystery show. The scenery is beautiful, the stories are interesting, and the quaint little villages are just so charming. The whole show is just beautifully done. You have to watch, you'll love it!
Admin said...The saddest thing though is watching someone just completely unable to accept that it's over with, it's done, it will never, ever come back.
***********
You know, it's kind of sad and pathetic to see Kate clinging so desperately to he former glory, but the fact is, she's so nasty and undeserving that it's hard to drum up any sympathy for her. She'll run herself (and the kids) into the ground trying to get back on TV rather than go back to her old life. That's one thing I respect about Mama June. She knows what it's all about, she has no delusions of glamour and glory. This is a fluke, it will end as suddenly as it began, and she knows that. Best of all, that family is far from wealthy, but they refuse to cry poor. They do a lot for charity, and don't ask for anything for themselves. You will never see Mama June crying poor while at the same time living in a million-dollar home. And if HBB or any of the other girls wants gymnastics or summer camp, you know they will be given that opportunity, no matter how many coupons their mother has to clip.

One of my co-professors required the book in her criminology classes. She told me that I had to read it. It's excellent and contains some really fascinating memoirs. The non-fiction novel is based on Piper Kerman's experiences inside a woman's prison. I didn't know that it was a movie. Thanks for the recommendation!
I love Orange is the new Black! I watched the whole season in 4 days. it is risqué but very good.
To the person who asked what we Seattle folks do when the built up anguish of being polite drivers builds up- in passive aggressive form, we, and by we I mean those rude few, go into restaurants and take it out on the waitstaff or Safeway cashier etc....

---------------------
Milo's right about that. Every single time Kate is silent for more than 18 hours Milo immediately jumps to the conclusion that Kate has a new venture going on. A new show perhaps, the chair of her dreams on The View, closed door negotiations with Michelle Obama? LOL
BTW where are Kate's blog updates? She promised Milo she'd be doing that.
Well, here's a thought - If Kate shut down her twitter, her fans and non fans would have to find a different forum of their own making to continue their war on each other, correct? And frankly, I think most of them wouldn't bother. They'd just move on to the next celeb they could fight over.
If I were Kate, I would simply delete my twitter account and send all that traffic over to my blog, where I could put comments on moderation. Then I would hire a company to manage my website for me if I couldn't be bothered to do it myself. She could write it off as a business expense, after all.
But will she? No. Why? Because ultimately she is lazy. She likes to make lists and she likes to tell people what to do. I have always suspected her cleaning jags on the show were just that - for show.
Admin has been viciously attacked and we've all been called a bunch of "pearl clutchers", which I thought was particularly funny.

Don't forget the crocs and mummuu label! I thought that was funny, too. You're right -- we have been poked, laughed at, had our posts lifted and dissected, and admin was unfairly attacked. For the most part, the posters here who were the subject of attacks remained quiet about it, and yet here we are, defending their rights not to be outed.
What a world.
This is a local commercial joking about the driving tendencies of Seattleites. And yes, I realize a 4-way stop is different. I don't speak for Ex Nurse, but when I wave someone in, it's because they are trying to get on to the road I'm currently stopped on, because traffic is so horrible here and often just at a complete standstill. I'm grateful when I'm on a side street trying to get in and someone waves me on to the road, and someone always does.

Milo's pestering Paige about her new boyfriend. She just can't keep her nose out of the business of other tweeties. And yet she had the audacity to call out some of the non-fans and said that if Kate wants to answer, she will...that she is not obligated to tell anyone anything.
She cannot understand that she herself is guilty of being a busybody. She just can't stop the meddling.
Milo also can't figure out that Kate waits to tweet after she knows Milo has gone to bed; other times, when she knows Milo isn't there. You'd think by now Milo would have gotten some red flags on this.
Oh, the nightmare of being her real-life neighbor!
I do prefer driving in the polite conditions of Seattle to driving on the East Coast, no offense intended to East Coasters. Although, when my eldest was 16 she totaled my car when waved in to traffic by another driver. She was side swiped by another driver coming from the opposite direction. It would be great to find out which part of the country had fewer accidents.

I miss it. I've also been watching old episodes of "A Touch of Frost." Have you watched "Luther?" I really enjoyed that one, especially the main character, Idris Elba who was in "Wired" a few years back. It's nothing like "Midsomer" but the acting is very good.

************************************************
Nope, I don't think there will ever be another reality show for Kate. If anyone was interested, she would have had one already.
It's especially tellng that the operative word being used is, "TRYING".
Her huber fan is going to have to find another reason to do a happy dance.
Note to Kate: It cannot be any clearer- you and your "brand" are not interesting or entertaining.
Please go to a job agency, or learn a new trade-PLEASE. You are wasting so much precious time.
From the celeb dirty laundry article...Anyway, sources are saying that with her name in the news recently, she’s been trying for another reality show. Her ex-husband has been rumored for the next season of Dancing with the Stars, which will surely make her spitting mad, especially if he beats her. But apparently she’s trying to get a solo reality show, and she’s trying to prove that she still has an audience that will tune in.
"Trying for" being the operative words here. Kate's been "trying for" another show - any show - since K+8 was cancelled. I wouldn't get too excited about it.
A few days ago I did a Google search for a certain painting technique. I came across this DIY blog young house love. Kate could take a lesson or two from the cute couple who created it. It started out several years ago as a blog to keep family and friends updated on a major kitchen reno, it is now a 5 million hit per month blog and spawned a bestselling book. What I noticed as I browsed through it is that they are humble, grateful and relatable. The pictures are clear and beautiful and instructions for their projects are straightforward.
Just as Admin said about Kate refusing to "get it" that her fame is gone and never coming back, in the same vein why does Kate not get that no one, not even her fans want to read her silly tales about how perfect she thinks she is. When Kate writes, the sole purpose of her writing to make the reader feel inferior, less than, not worthy, inadequate. She was fired from CC, so when she got the Stir gig she just kept on writing about how awesome she thinks she is and how the kids thank her every chance they get. Interesting how Kate calls her refusal to acknowlege reality "determination."
Kate's got some real creeps on her timeline now. I'm positive they're a result of BV and his followers.
Way to go Kate. LOL

I've been moving to my new place and my cable man is driving me up the wall.
I've been busy and am trying to catch up here.
Once again, I say to BV: Put up or shut up. Shaming Kate haters by outing who they are/what names they use online, etc., isn't solving a damn thing. It only seems to suggest that you have no other legal recourse against them (for whatever legal remedy you are supposedly seeking) and indicates you are flailing your arms and floundering. It doesn't look good on you.

Thanks to everyone who shared Netflix favorites. I've added "Midsomer Murders", "Orange is the New Black" and "House of Cards" to my queue. If it weren't for this blog, I never would have discovered "Doc Martin". While it was the whole Gosselin drama that brought me here, it's the diversity of comments from both the regulars and visitors that keeps me coming back!
I see that BV has posted a letter from Angela. Anyone remember her? She posted on one of the fan blogs (maybe the one that just reopened?) and I think she posted here, also. I'm not sure Admin wants the letter posted and perhaps she'll take a look at it on BV's timeline first. I'm not sure where the letter originated but it has something to do with Jamie sending topless pictures of herself to Jon. Odd that BV tweets this now as I see Kate tweeted that Jamie and her children have been visiting and are leaving today.

Seriously hot here. Heat indices over 110 degrees. I'm not even going to the pool due to the air quality and dogs are getting taken out to do their business and that's it.
It's reportedly going to get worse before it gets better, so I'll be indoors in the AC streaming some suggested shows!
Well, Jamie has been visiting, and there's a new "Kate wants a new show" article out. Guess we know who the "source" for that one is, don't we. Kate's delusional if she thinks the recent news stories will get her a show. Negative stories do not equal positive public opinions. And her new cookbook will only serve to show, once again, that she has no audience any longer. When word gets out about the dismal sales of that book, nobody will be fooled into thinking she's still popular. The two-year anniversary of her firing is coming up very soon. I guess she's getting a bit anxious. But, as we've all said so many times, if anyone wanted to give her a new show, they'd have done it by now. A picture of her slanting her eyes and a stink bomb of a cookbook are not going to change anyone's perception of her.
To those who watch Midsomer Murders--watch for a very young Orlando Bloom in one of the earlier episodes. He's so cute!
I think Jon AND Kate had better obtain an Order of Protection against Kate's huber fans.

Some have been saying this for quite awhile now. I really hope that Jon has this person on some kind of a security watch list. This anger and hatred at someone she doesn't know, which arose from reading interviews and rag mags and quite possibly a bitter divorce herself, just isn't normal. I'd get that thing filed if I were Jon. Better be safe than sorry.
I would think that if the letter is a complete fabrication, Jamie would have a good case of libel against either the writer of the letter, or BV (for posting it) or both. That's some serious content in there.

Jane, I remember Angela and yes, she posted at the fan site that has just reopened. Wasn't she touted as an insider then later as a fraud?
I'm with you. I can't figure out why BV tweeted that letter. Is she a "hater?"
--------
I have a vague memory of her being called a fake, but I don't remember seeing any proof as to who she really was. Weren't there wild guesses? If BV continues on his money-making streak, he'll probably try and link Angela to one of the non-fans. Does anyone care? Other then bringing in more hits for his website, what's it accomplish?
And, of course, why doesn't Kate put an end to it? She can't still believe this is helping her "career."

I somehow remember Robert Hoffman saying that he had such photos. Am I remembering this correctly?
Maybe it was in one of his statements that said that if he was accused of lying, he'd show the proof that he's not.

Jane, I think in kate's mind "any publicity is good publicity" and she has demonstrated that Any attention is good attention.
They notice me! They really notice me!
Thanks for the young house love link! I've enjoyed looking at their before & after pics. Very inspiring! I always enjoy the Thrifty Decor Chick blog. She does lots of nice re-dos around her house. You're so right. Kate has really missed the mark in her attempt (multiple attempts) to market herself.

Well, I'm glad we got that cleared up! Any good recipes for paprikáscsirke?
I saw that email that BV posted from Angela. Does Kate even know that he posted it? I would think it would upset Jamie very much if she saw that posted on a public twitter.
Does Kate condone BV dragging Jamie into the fray now, too?
I would be ticked if I were Jamie and that letter was posted. True or not true that is nasty to drag her into this. Jamie, like Jon, left the public eye. She deserves enough respect not to USE her like this. Is this what being friends with Kate means? You have to just be a martyr for the cause? Can't anyone get through to Kate on this? What if Jamie's kids saw that?? Even if untrue and I think it is, it's still mortifying! Can't one sheeple just try to explain to Kate she should make him take that down? What does it prove other than to mortify everyone?

It's a real head banging situation. We can question the motives until the cows come home. We know what should be done. It should be taken down. Kate never should have aligned herself with him in the first place. What does he hope this will accomplish? Embarrass Jamie, humiliate Jon, or the person who posted it or what?
Something's gonna give real soon, and all hell is going to break loose. Kate can end this right now. Take down Twitter. Call off Bully. I just can't believe that there is nobody out there who can't get through to Kate. It's frustrating as all get out to watch this happen and know that nothing good is going to come of it.
They've crossed the line dragging Jamie into it. They really have. They're bringing up something most people never knew about in the first place or definitely forgot about. What's the flipping point? I don't care how bad they want to shame whoever, this directly hurts Jamie and her kids, a family who has been incredibly careful to be private ever since the Rv fiasco. They deserve respect. Shame on Kate for letting this happen.

Absolutely. This is not a game. This is somebody's life and reputation.

Holy smokes.
So let me get this straight- this person sent an email to "someone" stating that Jamie TRIED to seduce Jon? Seeing that they are on a campaign to discredit Jon, wouldn't this information hurt Kate? Or make her not trust her best friend?
And why would bv find this so interesting that he felt the need to post the email?
I swear, I've never seen a weirder bunch of people in my entire life.
