In a rather ironic turn, TLC's newest reality show looks at none other than child actors and their mothers. Raising Fame premieres Wednesday. Check local listings.

613 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 613 Newer› Newest»I just read the recipe and realized Kate may have made a grave mistake with her instructions. She instructs to chop up the vegetables in the food processor. I don’t use the food processor blade to chop up vegetables but I know there is a disk you put on top of the bowl to slice/chop vegetables or whatnot. I can just image people trying to stuff the uncut vegetables in and trying spin the blade.
********
The food processor is great for small chopped veggies in meatloaf or stuffed cabbage etc. The thing is, you have to rough chop them first.
The end result is that you get the flavor (and nutrition) of the vegetables, but they are virtually undetectable in the meat.
What struck me about Raising Fame is that the families had a passion to be famous and their passion for art, music, dance, acting was secondary. If your passion is for the arts go for it, whatever will make you happy. But if you simply want to be famous, maybe therapy would be better to find out why you have such a drive for a bunch of strangers to notice you.
Sorry Gal! Anyone but TFW can pronounce things whatever way she may wish. It's her voice that grates, really.No offence meant!
______
I listened to her pronunciation of "celry," and I really didn't hear it as being grating, but then again, anything she says gets on the nerves, especially the ums, and ahs! I just can't listen to that. I wonder how she would do in a cooking demonstration. I can't imagine...
Glad to see you lukebandit! Always great to real your posts!
Waving to all my fellow crankies!
I've had an earworm for the past few days. Darn song is stuck and won't go away. It occurred to me that a couple of lines from the song apply to the Sheeple -- "What a fool believes . . . he sees, No wise man has the power to reason away" . Apologies to The Doobie Brothers.

Exactly. It doesn't seem to be about anything other than being famous for fame's sake.
I saw a pic of Honey Boo Boo (gawd I hate that nickname) wearing a t-shirt that said, "Haterz gonna hate."
It's like there's some achievement if you have haters. Really? That's a desirable goal for people.
Like Kate wearing the "Doing it for the haters" or whatever t-shirt she wore to that marathon.
You're bragging that people don't like you? I'm not saying we should all be Sally Field and care so much whether people like us, especially strangers. But it's almost as if it's even better to have strangers hating you.
It's just so freakin' warped.
Fame is a side effect, not the means to an end. If you're pursuing it from that angle you're going to end up doing anything just to maintain it.
Case in point, Teen Mom Farrah Abraham. Now that's a pretty sad case right there. (A sore spot for me because I was a teen mother 25 years ago and I just want to slap the whole lot of them.)
Okay, I'm done. Carry on. :D

Anon. this time.
When my daughter was 7 years old, she started her own business to save for a bike. I let her decided what she wanted to do, she decided to collect papers from our area, and deliver them to the Recycling bins, with me as her driver, with the family car. She made up her own flyers, passed them out herself, and for her fee she asked for a nickel every Tuesday. Cheap, I know, but I wanted her to learn on her own. Her first day, we were met by all of the media in that city, they all wanted to do this as a cute human interest story, and I didn't see any harm in it. Well things got very big, very fast, and before I knew it she was on her way to New York city-along with me-as a guest if the United Nations, to celebrate Earth Day. And from there, it just got bigger. She was interviewed on every newspaper, radio program, and all of the national t.v news programs across Canada. She was so fortunate for all of the appearances she was asked to make, all across the country. Grand Marshal of Parades, guest appearances at all kinds of events, and she had given speeches at all kinds of events. She got way more than her 15 minutes of fame, and not once did she act like she was better than anyone else. I also had a younger and an older daughter, and included them as much as possible. I was trying to get my Real Estate licence during that busy time, and was being sponsored by a Real Estate company while I was learning. I was amazed by how many people told me that I just had to find my daughter an agent, that I was crazy for not cashing in on opportunities she was offered. It was like a broken record, so many people thought I was crazy for not finding her an agent, saying our family would have it made, we would not have to work anymore. My husband and I decided against getting an agent, we did not want her to 'become famous', we just wanted her to have a normal life, as well as her sisters. I just did not want the hassle of it all, because during those couple of years that she was 'famous', it was not conducive to a normal family life. If she was meant to do great things, then she would have to get to that point on her own, when she was older. I wanted her to learn, to work hard, to get educated. Then if she wanted to, she could get famous, but not this way. The Media takes a bite, and before you know it, your words have been altered, they wanted access to her 24/7, it got so busy that at one point, I had to have my oldest daughter home from school one day, to help answer the phone while we did interviews in our living room! I just wanted us to be a normal family. The fame was just not worth it to me.
I lost this daughter to cancer, when she turned 20. But she did live a very full life, and had plans to go to Film School in British Columbia, but did not get that chance.
I just shake my head when TFW wants her kids back on T.V. Those kids can be on T.V when they are older, and are able to make that decision on their own. It is not up to TFW to make that decision for them. I just got a small taste of having a famous kid, and it was not always roses, people do get jealous, people can be nuts. Let them be normal kids, with normal childhoods. It is just not fair to them.
Please don't criticize my writing or spelling here. I had tears in my eyes.
Lukebandit, glad you are doing better!
Yesterday, I posted a link to an interview with RGIII-G, or the grandmother of Robert Griffin III, the 23 year old quarterback of the Washington Redskins, Baylor graduate, and Heisman trophy winner. Relates to this topic, about how family view celebrities.
grandma works in the deli at a local grocery store. she is 64 years old and has no plans to retire because she likes talking to people.
some quotes from Grandma: ” I'm proud of him and not just for football. That's not as important as the kind of person he is.”
when asked about his salary and if he would buy her a bigger house she said ”that's his money not my money. I'm sure Robert would help me if I asked but that's his money and I'm comfortable.”
what did rg3 say about his grandmother?
” family are people that are there for you no matter what whether you give the money or not.”
there is an article and video posted on the Richmond Times Dispatch website titled ”a slice of life with RGIII-G.”
Hi Bitchy Pants.
Jellus of your screen name. Cracked me up.
Xmas tree lites for her 'mega' sleepover - NOT
Two years Kate - tell you something???
Kate - you are done...
Wow, Kate must be having, I'm too lazy to fix anything nutritious for dinner, so you kids can have ice cream and junk food. Or this was left overs from the sleep over, or the stuff she had to take out of the freezer, so the freezer can work right. What she is serving is what I would eat as an evening snack or late afternoon snack, not for dinner. I don't remember in my whole life, ever having ice cream for dinner, dessert yes, major meal no.
Did anyone catch the poster in Kate's kitchen, a bunch of phrases, and one standing out in very large letters> Be grateful. Yeah, poor kids, have to be grateful to Kate, for providing them with a roof over there heads, and food on the table, and clothes on their backs etc, and that they should praise Kate, for without her, they would have nothing, just a mediocre, normal, boring, mundane, non-famous life. How tragic!
There was a wonderful ice cream shop near where I worked. Every once in a while a couple of friends and I would go there and have ice cream for lunch -- just ice cream. I don't recall my folks ever doing that when I was a kid, though. The closest would be when we'd have a "pot luck" dinner, to clean out the leftovers and odds and ends from the frig. Mom would usually make a big salad and then we'd each make our choice of leftover for our main dish. How many times has she done this ice cream dinner lately? I seem to recall her twitting about it not so very long ago.
I would be starving by 8 o'clock if all I had was dairy with sweets piled on top.
Admin> not to mention, how hungry those kids will be in the morning. Or is that the whole idea, so they can't complain, about eating eggs? You get what you get or you get nothing. Or is it so Kate can complain on twitter that the kids were sick(tummy aches). What a twisted sister!

Presley Cash and her mom are both nuts. Nuts. They have gotten worse since the documentary. Presley is very parentified. They have wasted away her childhood shuffling around to various auditions that never pan out.
______________________________________________
What loons. 8 years and $160,000 later, they refuse to concede that a showbiz career is probably not going to happen for Presley. Much like Kate refusing to accept there is no future in Hollywood for her. It's one thing to be determined. It's quite another to be delusional and stubborn as an ass.
Oh, I don't know. Once a summer,usually on a stinking hot day when no one felt like eating much of anything, we would go to the local ice cream store and have ice cream for dinner. Once in a blue moon when the stars lined up. Nothing to do with not feeling like cooking dinner. My kids still have fond memories because it was summer, it was rare and it was fun. Of course they also have memories of day camp, sleep overs and annual family vacations.

@Kateplusmy8 are you considering bringing your show back? I miss it so much! Please answer! :)

Do the fans actually that TFW gave up her show willingly?
Do the sheep think she gave up $250k and epi and free trips & gifts willingly?
Or are they're just patronizing her?
I wanted to post this article. When I read the article I thought of Kate. How many times have we heard Kate tell her kids to "hurry". I especially remember when she told Mady to "always hurry" when she asked her to do something. It was when they were getting ready for the fateful RV trip.
The article is called The Day I Stopped Saying 'Hurry Up'.
Here's a link to the article:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rachel-macy-stafford/the-day-i-stopped-saying-hurry-up_b_3624798.html
The article is all about a Mom who was constantly telling her daughter to "hurry up" instead of letting her child "stop and smell the roses".
Here's an excerpt from the article:
"Whenever my child caused me to deviate from my master schedule, I thought to myself, "We don't have time for this." Consequently, the two words I most commonly spoke to my little lover of life were: "Hurry up."
I started my sentences with it.
Hurry up, we're gonna be late.
I ended sentences with it.
We're going to miss everything if you don't hurry up.
I started my day with it.
Hurry up and eat your breakfast.
Hurry up and get dressed.
I ended my day with it.
Hurry up and brush your teeth.
Hurry up and get in bed.
And although the words "hurry up" did little if nothing to increase my child's speed, I said them anyway. Maybe even more than the words, "I love you."
The truth hurts, but the truth heals... and brings me closer to the parent I want to be."
It's definitely worth reading!

Hey TFMJG are you going to answer this or what?
What loons. 8 years and $160,000 later, they refuse to concede that a showbiz career is probably not going to happen for Presley.
&&&
Does Presley love the arts or does she want to be famous?
If she really loves the arts, they could have done so much more with that money. What I find very sad is they could have instead spent that money on a really intensive private school for the arts. Crossroads or Wildwood are just a few where Presley could be playing her guitar and acting half the day with top notch instruction, mixed in with traditional studies. Wildwood doesn't even give grades. They want you to focus on your arts not grades.
It's just such a waste to go on all these auditions with nothing ever coming of it when she could really be doing what she loves instead of sitting in an 8 by 10 room with her guitar singing to her mom and going on auditions that don't pan out.
They are also way too picky about her roles. They never explained their objection to the role that involved a dead child. I don't see what's unethical or anti-Christian about that role. Children sometimes die. It's hard to have an acting career that won't at some point involve a role that includes the theme of death. It's not like they were asking her to strip naked. I just wasn't following that. I can't think of a single TV show that didn't at some point address death. If death is off the table for her, so are most roles.
If the family were really grateful, they would have stayed in the nice home they already had and been content and grateful for their nice home and neighborhood instead of trying to upgrade to a mine, all mine as far as the eye can see, isolated, lonely Mcmansion.
Once a year my grandmother would take each of us out to lunch for a banana split. Always made us feel special to eat ice cream as a meal. My grandma had quite a sweet tooth, so I think it was partly for her.
But I don't believe for one second Kate gave those kids ice cream for dinner. That was probably a photo from the sleepover and she just used it for tonight's #goodmom episode.

This quote is as pompous and annoying as the stuff Gwyneth Paltrow says about her organic free-range grain fed free roaming no pesticides locally grown food.
I read that hurry up article this morning. It made me tearful. It is indeed a must read. Some of the comments from other parents were heartbreaking, about how all they did was shuttle kids around at full speed and now they regret it.
I think there's a balance between meandering through life without direction and being too scheduled. The thing is, punctuality IS important at some point because without it you do miss out on some lovely things or take away time with people you love. What I like though is that this mother realized that her little daughter had something to teach her about life. That's where I think many parents don't get that, TFW included. Kids aren't just there for you to guide and mold like minions. They are there to teach you something too. What that is who knows it depends on the child, but you'll never know if you don't look for it. She sounds like a wonderful mother and that is one lucky little girl.
All the candy and sugar will induce a sugar crash in about two hours. They'll feel starving. It's probably better suited for lunch since you're getting another full meal before bed.
Icecream dinner may have worked in the past but I think at this age she'll find these kids are going to want something more to eat in a couple hours. You'd have to eat a LOT of ice cream and candy to truly feel filled up for the night.

Wow, what a story.
First, I am so sorry for your loss. Your daughter was amazing.
I wish more parents would let their kids be kids. Education is so important and sad to say, I think many more parents would seize the opportunity and mule their kid out, quit their job to "run the family business" and bleed their kid dry.
I believe that's what Kate did and would still be doing if Jon hadn't run the train off the tracks, collateral damage and all.
I respect him for that because I can't imagine how that conversation with Kate went.
Maybe it was the candy TFMJG was chopping up?
I read an article similar to the "hurry up" article not too long ago. Sadly, the child in that article died, and the mother was regretting that she never took the time to just BE with her child. If I can find it again, I'll post a link.

Maybe I'm an optimistic but I have to hope that most parents would not pimp their children out even if it were easy. It's not THAT hard to move to LA. Save a couple thousand dollars to do it for a summer. Many parents can save a couple thousand dollars--they do it all the time for sports, summer camp or private school. While plenty of parents do take their little starlets to LA, they really only represent a tiny, tiny fraction of all parents in America. LA may be filled with a couple thousand families during pilot season. But there are over 100 million families in America.
Have the sheep been reminded of the embarrassing number of pre-orders on this book...or are they in denial and just keep anxiously anticipating its release?

What??!? I guess @YummyWords didn't read far down enough to see MsG's tweets about panty sniffers.
Some days (and tweets) are weirder than others.
In this area, there are still many who have dinner, the main meal, hot food at noon to 2 p.m., and evening supper is light -- salad, or soup and sandwiches. Is there anyone else here who does this, or is this a thing of the past? We kind of keep with traditions that have been handed down for generations!
Apparently TFW's role model/heroes were her grandparents and their 50+ year marriage, which is a admirable achievement. She does mention them but not as frequently as Milo Kravitz seems to thinks. Also noted is that she NEVER refers to her parents in a similar vein, or pretty much at all. As for HER round two, marriage wise, when pigs fly sums that up.
Longing for a salad - utter rubbish.
That's not a PA thing that's a farming thing. I grew up in a farming community and yes that was normal for a lot of people. That is how we ate most weekends since we usually had grandparents over who always ate like that. You need the calories for the afternoon, and at night you're about to go to bed and just need enough food to stop the hunger pangs so you can sleep. Makes sense, you don't want a huge meal when you're about to go to bed. But clearly that's not how Kate operates since lunches are wraps and half a teaspoon of feta, and dinners are pizza and other heavy things, so that's sort of a moot point!

Hey! Just posted Throwback Thursday pics ... Memories from our trip to Hawaii..FIVE years ago (already)!

Why in the world would you post photos from that trip -- the Mommy and Daddy will always be together vow renewal which turned out to be one of the biggest farces presented? I'd think she'd want to forget that one!
She is so desperate to drive people to that website that it's got to be humiliating!
I've always found it somewhat humorous that any relative TFW just loves and adores....is dead.
Can't speak for yourself or question her from six feet under very well.
I recall her mentioning her grandfather maybe two times, and it was a very brief comment. I never recall her mentioning grandma.
The question is, if you she understands and appreciates the value those grandparents brought to her life why would she deny her children the same relationship?
Three out of the five photos are blurry and out of focus. Gosh, what is with people and their cell phones cameras? Hold it still, make sure you have lots of light, or invest in a cheap point and shoot. I have photos 30 years old taken with old cheap disposable point and shoots and film that are so much better than these pics. Kids 15 years from now are going to be scratching their heads not understanding why with all the advances in technology their childhood photos are WORSE than the photos of their parents. Sad.
Apparently TFW's role model/heroes were her grandparents and their 50+ year marriage, which is a admirable achievement
&&&
I think it's not just the length of time but whether you have managed to maintain a healthy relationship through that length of time.
My dad's parents were together forever. 50 odd years. But everything I saw of it they were miserable. They should have divorced. My childhood memories of them are of them fighting and sleeping in separate rooms. They were lovely people who were wonderful to their children and grandchildren, but they just hated each other. If I told someone oh my grandparents were together 50 years they would probably be impressed. Why? Because Catholics just didn't divorce back then?
Pa Dutch Mom - That was how my mom's family did it in Minnesota. We also called lunch "dinner" and dinner was "supper". As Admin said, it's completely a farming community thing. It's actually a healthier way of eating, from what I understand.

&&&&&&&&&&&
Aw, that's too bad. My grandparents were married for 70 years. I never saw them fight, no arguments, always kind words between them. After all that time, he's still give her a loving pat on the behind, and she'd look at him like they were newlyweds. When she died, he followed shortly thereafter, even though he wasn't ill. He worked up until a week before he passed. We always said that he died from a broken heart because he had never been without her. They had been grade school sweethearts. He just didn't want to live without her by his side. They both were the kindest, most gentle people you'd ever want to meet.

We do it in our house, but not every day, depending who is where and if everyone is home for the noon meal. However, our main meal at noon is always eaten on Sundays after church. We've never gotten away from that tradition! I still call "lunch" dinner and "dinner" is supper.
Yes we still use the dinner/supper distinction too.
Lunch is a term for something small like a sandwich. But if it's a main meal it's dinner or if we're going out it's dinner. Supper is always the last meal at home of the day whether it's the main meal or just something light!
OT - I don't know if anyone here watched Amish Mafia, but was Alan Beiler was sentenced today:
Amish Mafia star 35-year-old Alan Beiler will serve up to 23 months in prison for a police chase that spanned from Perry County to Dauphin County last summer.
Police say Beiler led police on a chase last July after they tried to stop him for an expired car registration.
That's when he drove against traffic and caused a state trooper to crash and suffer a concussion.
Beiler also led police on two other chases that same week, both in Lancaster County.

The image of this just cracks me up. It reminds me of the Family Guy episode--Peter Griffith in the grocery store yelling, "I need an adult! I need an adult!"
And this grandparent comment only serves to put light on the fact that it is always about her - otherwise explain why if the grandparent relationship was so special and treasured, why are her children denied theirs? Her parents cannot be monsters, she is just one sick puppy.
Her own comments PROVED there is nothing unsafe or monstrous about the grandparents. Her statements in one of the episodes, I think it was the Baltimore one, where she said that she was reconsidering letting the children see them because they children had ben asking about them.
If they were abusive, toxic, or what have you, there should be no reconsidering. It's done. It's not even on the table. Proof they are no such thing.
Lunch is a term for something small like a sandwich. But if it's a main meal it's dinner or if we're going out it's dinner. Supper is always the last meal at home of the day whether it's the main meal or just something light!

lol, Admin, I never really thought about it before, but even if I'm having a sandwich at noon, it's not lunch, it's dinner! Dinner (no matter what is being served) is at noon, and supper is always the evening meal, regardless if it's just soup and sandwiches or a pigging-out meal. Even if we're going out in the evening to a very nice restaurant, we go out for supper, not dinner!
We are a strange bunch here!

I wonder if she was ever told that one of her most devoted teenage fans was allegedly behind at least two Cara fake accounts.
TFW has mentioned her grandma and grandma's nonjudgmental love for TFW. She was very plain that nobody has ever loved her that way before or since.
In the HCI website bio of TFW, she tells of learning to bake from her grandma. Chaos in the kitchen with TFW and her sisters! Interesting, because TFW said she's not a baker, Aunt Jodi was the baker. Still, her
good memories of childhood are baking with grandma.
TFW also said that one night a year they eat an ice cream supper. It's a tradition! At least this one lasts longer than once.
Admin said; Her own comments PROVED there is nothing unsafe or monstrous about the grandparents. Her statements in one of the episodes, I think it was the Baltimore one, where she said that she was reconsidering letting the children see them because they children had ben asking about them.
If they were abusive, toxic, or what have you, there should be no reconsidering. It's done. It's not even on the table. Proof they are no such thing.
Actually, I think it was just another case of Kate telling people what she thinks they want to hear (aka lying) so they'll get off her back. Back in it's heyday, a lot of people on the blogs/message boards/what have you were giving her flack for not having her parents more involved.
I don't think she ever had any actual intention of letting her kids see or develop a relationship with her parents because it would mean she'd have to repair her relationship with them, and Katie Irene Kreider Gosselin never apologizes to anyone. My understanding, as well, is that she is very much like her father. If that is true, then he'd be just as obstinate as she is.
Chefsummer 61 page 2 - You'd think so, wouldn't you? Shouldn't it be your job to contact Instagram and report the fakes?
Or better yet, take your own social media private. Then, perhaps, your family will be out of the spotlight more and people will forget about them and not feel the need to make fake Instagram accounts using your childrens' names.

She should be embarrassed that she is using her kids for her own profit and gain.
But she is shameless therefore she's not embarrassed.
Plus she knows that she's nothing without her kids.
She knows that the only reason why people want to see her is cause of her children.

Well we know that TFW is a liar and a bad one at that.
When I was growing up> supper & dinner were the same thing, Some people said dinner, some said supper, and would be around 5p-6 pm. Breakfast>6am-9am and lunch 12pm. If you are working then lunch was from 11am to 1pm. Weekends were early dinner 2p-4p. Anything after 10pm was frig raiding or 10pm snack. (like the midnight snack). Brunch is mid-morning snack(halfway between breakfast & lunch). Then snack depends on how hungry you are, you can call a peach a snack or a wrap(of any kind) & fries a snack. It was sometimes confusing, when they would refer to plate sets as dinnerware, never supperware. But then dinnerware is also known as forks & knives, spoons. They also refer to that dinnerware as silverware. LOL!

@Kateplusmy8 people need to get a life...why pretend you're someone you aren't?!
-----------------
But isn't that exactly what Kate does -- pretends she's still a famous celebrity, author and cook, with another show just around the corner?
LOL PA Dutch Mom & Admin! For us lunch is alwways a weekday meal eaten at, well, lunchtime. Supper is the evening meal eaten at, well, supper time. Dinner is what we have on Sunday or holidays. Saturday we normally have brunch and "catch as catch can" for supper which means everyone fates for himself. It is indeed funny what we call our meals and is very regional.
Kirkland...27 Thanks for the link. That was a great article. When it comes to kids you need to slow down and enjoy them as you never get that time back. I love seeing the world through the eyes of my five year old grandson.
With regard to pushing your kids for stardom; when my daughters were younger, I was told frequently by strangers that I should get them into modeling. I politely told them no thank you as that would be a choice made by me and not them. When they were older, if they showed an interest, I would let them pursue it, but not at that time. Luckily, neither one showed an interest. And the fact that they are only 5'4" and 5'5" doesn't help. My daughter is now going through the same thing with my grandson. We all laugh though because we know there is no way in hell he would ever let a stranger take a picture of him.

Thanks, Tucker's Mom, for your kind words. I know I did the right thing, no matter how nuts people thought I was. Jon knows my story, and I think it made him feel like the decision he made was for sure the right one. Kids should be kids, not little money-makers.

She's such a doofus.
IMO TFW's throwback Thursday's choice of picture's, from Hawaii , had a purpose. TFW knew posting pictures from a trip that was a farce would stir up contraversary ( sp? who knows, I tried) and maybe get a storyline in an online rag mag which hopefully would drive more traffic to her website and then sell more crookboobs...
or... she thought that people would go to the pictures to see if Jon was included in any of them... that was my curiousity. However I am not buying a crookboob.. too bad soo sad for TFW.
BTW anonymous! I am sorry for your loss of your daughter. That must be so difficult no matter what age! I commend you also for keeping your head on straight wile going thru the massive media influx as I am sure it is easy to get caught up in all that.
Sounds like your daughter had an impact on the world during her very short life! You must be proud! {{hugs}}
How does TFW know that the twins don't have secret instagram accounts? Lets face it, the twins are more computer savvy than she is and could easily hide an account from her. Granted they've probably got it under fake names so TFW won't find the account. If so does that make them one of the "fakers" that TFW is currently ranting about?
I was thinking the same thing. It would be absurdly easy to hide an Instagram account from someone as dumb as TFW. Bury the Instagram app in an obscure folder on your iPhone, done.

Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 8m
Hey! Just posted Throwback Thursday pics ... Memories from our trip to Hawaii..FIVE years ago (already)!
&&&&
Why in the world would you post photos from that trip -- the Mommy and Daddy will always be together vow renewal which turned out to be one of the biggest farces presented? I'd think she'd want to forget that one!
She is so desperate to drive people to that website that it's got to be humiliating!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As usual, TFW strikes out on two counts. According to knowyourmeme.com, Throwback Thursdays started appearing on different blogs as far back as 2004. A number of celebrities began to partake in the practice, including Kim Kardashian who began sharing Throwback Thursday photos on her social media sites in February 2012.
TFW can't come up with an original idea to save her soul. On top of that, she's not providing any new material. Kim K. posts old photos no one has ever seen before. America has seen TFWs fake vow renewal photos a zillion times. Photos from a vow renewal between two people who were already separated (according to Kate's email to Hailey) and divorced the next year. Wow. It doesn't get much lower than that.

In this area, there are still many who have dinner, the main meal, hot food at noon to 2 p.m., and evening supper is light -- salad, or soup and sandwiches. Is there anyone else here who does this, or is this a thing of the past? We kind of keep with traditions that have been handed down for generations!

If I didn't work, I would like to do this. Before my son began doing football last year, I would pick him up from school at 3:00, head home, and sometimes make dinner shortly after we arrived. Then I would fix him a snack in the evening. I really liked that schedule.
I think once he's older and driving himself, maybe I can return to having an early dinner for myself. It helps with keeping off the weight too!
Huh. If I knew that having a 'wrap and fries' was defined as merely a 'snack', I'd probably weigh an extra 50 lbs! LOL
Kim K. posts old photos no one has ever seen before.

Going out on a limb here and this is pure speculation, but I wonder if her father is the one who abused her? Kind of makes sense with the way she turned out? Mother stands by or turns a blind eye? Again, speculation.
TFW is such a liar.."I don't like icecream...I really crave a salad" followed by "truth"?!? Anytime you have to say "honestly" or "truth" it's obviously a lie. She is still trying to give everyone the impression that she is SO health conscious....doesn't she realize how stupid and unauthentic she appears when EVERYTHING about her has been documented on that stupid show (I refuse to say her show)....ie: her scarfing down that egg custard, the DC cupcake episode when she couldn't eat enough frosting out of the bowls....she is such a fraud!

Casue 9 out of 10 you need and e-mail account for these pages and. TThey needed to be updated as well.
And as we know TFW is lazy and she wants others to do her work for her.
I honestly don't think she cares if they kids haves theses accounts.
She just doesn't want them to research her and find out the truth about her.

If there are "fake" Instagram accounts under the names of the kids, there is only one person responsible for that. Yes, you Kate. The show was cancelled two years ago and people would have forgotten about those kids long ago if she didn't continue to flog them like commodities on the internet to strangers. I don't imagine it would be very hard for freaks who do these sorts of things (and worse) to google her childrens' names and find ongoing and recent internet snippets. Disgusting and disgraceful. If something were ever to happen to one of those kids as a result of her internet propagandizing of them, it would be directly on her shoulders to bear the responsibility for it. Now she has posted pictures of the "fake" vow renewal ceremony? Could she be any more cruel or thoughtless to her own children? Then again, she allowed them to be filmed on a "fake" Christmas morning at one point, to get a "genuine reaction". She is truly a sick person. Doesn't she realize that those kids are growing up very quickly. The day is coming when she will have to atone to them for these things - they will demand to know why, I'm sure.

Those Hawaii fake vow renewal pictures are just her subtle way of wishing that someone will provide her with another FREE Hawaii vacay. It's also her continued mind games with fans that the kids have not changed from the cuties they were back then. Frankly, I don't understand how she can post those pictures and rave about what good memories that was when the marriage was over. Very cold hearted, very unemotional. I guess I should not be surprised from "Calculating Kate". Maybe her good memories have something to do with Steve on that trip or just that she did not have to spend a dime courtesy of TLC. She will always live the past I fear.

A-men. I bet you anything had she just simply just disappeared when the show ended and gave the children back their normal lives people would find some other celebrity to create a fake account for.
How many fake JON accounts are there out there vs. Kate and the kids? I rest my case.
If the instagram accounts are actually real, the twins can avoid penalty by claiming to "Mommy' they are fake. Good fall-back.
Lukebandit, glad you're on the mend!
It's not just the grandparents that the kids are denied; they have no relationships with their aunts, uncles and cousins. Some of my cousins are my closest friends to this day, and my children have close friendships with THEIR children. So when TFW speaks of making memories, you wonder with whom. Their insular life is really sad.

Yes. The other thing too is they could download the instagram app on the way to school and use it when they are out and about, then discreetly delete it before they come home to TFW. Then when they leave TFW again they can download it again. It takes 30 seconds. And this is assuming she is even combing their phones every day. Downloading and deleting the instagram app doesn't affect the photo posted and there is no reason to ever go on the computer to access your account. Kids WILL go to the trouble.
It is true it's not just the grandparents. They are also denied a relationship with Aunt Jodie and family. And we KNOW that was just about disagreement over filming, TFW said so. TFW? You're not filming anymore! So who the heck CARES what Jodi thinks? We never saw a single red flag about Aunt Jodie and family. The kids adored them, they adored the kids, their home was comfortable and safe, they were stable, and it's just heartbreaking to see them cut off.
If the instagram accounts are actually real, the twins can avoid penalty by claiming to "Mommy' they are fake. Good fall-back.
--------------
I know absolutely nothing about FB or Twitter, but I thought instagram was for sharing photos. If she discovered those accounts, and photos that the kids had taken were on there, how could they claim they were fake when the kids were the only ones who would have access to the pictures they took? She'd know if those were photos her kids took, wouldn't she?
Summer:
Just supposing, the twins could claim their friends took the pictures/ Idk. I think Kate is not too tech savvy so she would be easy to fool. The pressure to have these types of accounts at this age is tremendous.All kids have secrets from their parents!

True, but I think she'd know who took the photos if Mady sent her own photos on instagram, the ones that Kate posted, or similar photos she took of her own family. In order for them to claim that their friends took them, wouldn't the friends have to have access to the twins' phone? I have no clue how this works.

Very true. Unfortunately for those kids, their dear old Mom never had any intention of disappearing and still doesn't. Her choice to live in denial. But she could have (and should have) disappeared her kids two years ago. It is unconscionable that she continues to post their pictures, repeat their private thoughts and family moments, and now, dredge up the past in all it's Technicolor glory - for what? To pump up herself (to strangers). No other reason. It's all she has, I guess. I think Kate really doesn't understand the concept of the internet - how broad it's reach is and how many dangerous and freaky people reside there who live for pictures of famous children. She seems to forget that she's not just chatting with her handful of odd fans. She's exposing her vulnerable children world wide. Having said the above, seeing how her ill-conceived plan to bring a bullying protector into her world has only resulted in a whole undernet of questionable individuals to her doorstep? I guess she just doesn't care. Those kids could have been anonymous and forgotten about years ago if not for their mother. And I use the term loosely. Despicable.
Apparently Paige has called someone out for having a fake account in the name of one of the kids! Ironic, huh?

Whatever happened to the "other" Emily, the one who, along with Paige, set up an account to harass Ellen? Has she disappeared?
The Instagram account that is in question is set to private, so Kate can't see the pictures unless she sends a request to follow. If that happens, the gig is up!
Who ever made the point that Mady could delete the account and then re-add it while on the bus is right.
What is it about these fans that they just can't get it through their thick heads that these kids are not to be used for the entertainment of the sheeple? Kate did this. They think they are entitled to invade the private world of these children because, as viewers and fans, they "supported" the show. Now they want something in return, and in this case, it means being voyeurs into their personal lives.
Tiffany Lane @LilRedsSourWolf 6m
@Kateplusmy8 do you post youtube vids or anything of the kids? If not u should. I miss watching ur show! I never missed an episode!!
Exactly, if it's private, there's no way for Kate to ever see the photos as long as the kids remember to sign out every time and if they want to be really careful, delete the app every time they come home so if the furer does a phone check it's not on there. That said, the Instagram thing isn't that bad, especially if it's set to private. It's just fun photos to share with your friends. It is locked up much tighter than FB. There are some problems kids have on instagram but not nearly as much as what happens on facebook.
I think at this age you can tell them I'd prefer you not have an instagram, but they might do it anyway, and you just sort of have to trust that you've taught them appropriate behavior and boundaries and that they'll be just fine. If it's really that big of a problem, here's an idea, don't give a 12 year old a smartphone. If the phone is truly for emergencies, you can get a kid a basic phone that only calls and texts. Problem solved. Of course for someone like TFW who wouldn't know what a boundary was if it smacked her in the face, I have my doubts she has taught these kids anything helpful.
Knowing how controlling Kate is, wouldn't you think that the kids would be scared to death to download instagram...in fear of her finding out and then having to experience her wrath? If she got that upset over the globe incident, imagine how furious she would be with something much more serious. I know that kids have secrets, and kids will be kids, but not all kids have Kate as a mother.

_________________
There are worse parents than Kate, and often the children of those kinds of parents also try and explore the world around them and participate in it despite the wrath their parents will bestow upon them. If the twins aren't doing that yet, they soon will be. If Kate IS able to hold those kids back from doing what normal teens do, heaven help them. They'll go completely overboard, much like Jon, when he was cut loose.
Speaking of kids, Kate's twitter is totally inundated with teeny boppers these days and some very odd oddballs.
And last but not least, I don't think an ice cream for dinner once a year in the summer is a federal offense. I do think she overuses sweets and toys though to entice the kids to "love her best."
I was thinking about something this morning in the shower. We were discussing here why Kate doesn't put a stop to one tweeter's incessant rants and wild rages about Jon. I assume this person is on some kind of security watch list. She has to be. Perhaps the reason Kate doesn't put an end to this is because she's afraid of what might happen if she does. With someone as unstable as this tweeter, who knows what could happen if Kate ticks her off. Maybe someone told Kate that in this case, it's best to let sleeping dogs lie. Who knows?
If it were me, however, I'd put out a blanket cease to all tweeters who continue this horrible bashing of my kids' father, and that also includes the Chief Executive Ewe. One warning to stop, or Twitter goes private and I pull the plug on my page.

Obstinate is a good word to describe TFW. She refuses to back down, no matter what the consequences. We can all see the risks of her behavior, but she is blind to consequences. She is determined to get back on TV, and refuses to spend a single moment doing anything that will not be visible to the public. She will spend every cent she and the kids made, destroy their opportunities for higher education, and lose everything they all worked for before she will admit that her time TV career is over. She is not making much--if any--money now. There is no TV show, there's no blogs or cruises, cookbook is a failure and she will probably lose money on that. So, she has to be living off the money she and the kids made on TV. But at some point, that money will be gone. Then what? She is so obstinate that she she refuses to even think about "then what?". She thinks she can will herself back into the limelight, and then can replace all the money she spent, all the debt she accrued.
It's been 2 years. All this time, TV execs have known that she is available and eager to get back on TV. She says herself that she is constantly putting ideas out there. But nobody bites. What makes her think that is going to change? If anything, she is getting on the execs' nerves and they will be more resistant to working with her. But Miss Obstinate can't see that. She is so blind, and that's frustrating to those who care about her kids' future. We know she borrowed a lot of money against the kids' house in Jan. 2012. She would not have done that if she didn't need the money. How long will that last? Is she taking money from the kids' trusts to cover some expenses? Will there be enough left to pay for their college? What is her long-term plan for paying off the money she borrowed against their house? She is gambling with the kids' funds. She is borrowing against their futures. And she will never, ever stop until it is all gone and there is nothing more for her to take.
Of course, the fans will stand behind her and blame it all on Jon and assure her that she did nothing wrong.

NOT. Youtube is great, isn't it? Now every nutcase on the planet can get their 15 minutes.
Hmmm, Ziggy says that TFW put her foot down about all the drama on the show, and as a result TLC canceled it even while actively promoting it. But back when the ratings were tanking, and then when the show was canceled, the fans all blamed TLC for not promoting the show. So, which is it? I can say one thing for sure--TFW did not put her foot down about all the drama. She is the one who created the drama. It's all she had to offer, and she knew it. Remember when the fans were urging her to be on DWTS, and she said she'd do it again (for her kids) and said she wouldn't be good for dancing ability, but "controversy and ratings? Yes!". TFW sells herself as a drama queen because she has nothing else to offer. Even on CWS, she was nasty, mean, and bitchy. She doesn't know any other way to be.
Anyway, the fans will never get over the fact that TLC dumped TFW, just like they will never get over the fact that Jon left her. In their minds, she is always the victim. They just can't accept the fact that she failed.
So, the kids can't have an instagram account to show off their talents to the public or privately to their friends. The only place they can post things is on their mom's website. You know, so she can make sure no one takes advantage of them.......

I love how @Kateplusmy8 loves all her fans and replies to all of their tweets❤❤
She does? She replies to all of Milo's tweets? She still hasn't answered the "bucket list" question!
"So, the kids can't have an instagram account to show off their talents to the public or privately to their friends. "
They are 12-year-olds. There's no need for them to show off anything to the public right now. They were in the public eye for most of their lives. I don't think that there's any reason for kids that age to have Twitter, a FB account or instagram, just because their friends may have those accounts.
Anyway, the fans will never get over the fact that TLC dumped TFW, just like they will never get over the fact that Jon left her. In their minds, she is always the victim. They just can't accept the fact that she failed.
---------
Was she the victim when she was pulled over for speeding (how many times?). I guess the officer was to blame because he just didn't know how to help her. Didn't the sheeple cover that up by saying that oh well, everyone speeds?
I had to sigh when I read her answer to one of the fans' questions about safe driving. She doesn't think. Why even answer that question when you know that you are guilty of speeding? It's the same with posting those Hawaii pics. Why would you do that, knowing that this was one of her biggest lies ever -- that she and Jon would be together forever?
For some reason, she just can't think -- "what if" all that is brought up again? Her brain doesn't seem to be wired to look ahead and know what to say and what not to say. Either that, or her maturity level lags far behind her chronological age.
I just had to share this story.
I have a friend who was in an abusive relationship. She divorced her husband but they had joint custody of the kids. One day, a few years ago, when he came to pick up the kids, he beat her within an inch of her life in front of their children. Her eldest called 911, he was arrested and she was in the hospital for several weeks.
Today, I heard her talking to her oldest child about the incident. This child was still working through a lot of anger. This is what she told that child (I've only included her words, not the responses her kid made to her statements):
"Your dad is a good man but he has an illness. That illness makes him make bad choices sometimes, like what he did to me. Your dad is working hard to get better so he can be the best dad he can be for you and, actually, I hope someday you may be able to see him again. You are a part of him, the best part of him and of me. We both love you very much. I know you're mad at him for what he did to me. I won't tell you not to be mad or hurt or angry. But I do hope that someday, you forgive him, just like I have. No, I don't think what he did was okay. It's never okay to hurt someone. But I can spend my time being mad or I can forgive and move on. I'd rather move on and have a great life with you and (her fiancee). I think beneath all the hurt and anger, you still love your dad. And that's okay with me. It's okay with me that you love your dad. Got it? Good."
Kate, if you or your friends or your fans read here, I want you to think about this. If a woman who was beaten and nearly killed by her ex husband can put aside her feelings to forgive and to work hard to make sure that her kids know that despite everything, it's okay to love their dad and that that love does not mean in any way that they are being disloyal to her, who makes sure they understand that they are the best part of both their parents, then why can't you, a woman whose worst complaint so far, that I can tell, is that your husband was tired of lying to the world that your marriage was perfect when, in fact, it had ended almost a year earlier and who wanted to stop filming your reality show, step up and work to develop a better co-parenting relationship with your own ex?
You weren't beaten, you weren't psychologically abused, you weren't even cheated on until your marriage was already over, by your own admission. You came out of the situation smelling like a rose and the only reason your show ended was because you weren't interesting enough on your own to carry it. You came out of this marriage with your million dollar home with a pool and chickens, with your three luxury cars, and with the bulk of the marital assets as well as a "rent-a-cop" who you may or may not be sleeping with.
Please tell me what it is you have to be upset about? Because if my friend can forgive and move on, why can't you? It just doesn't make sense.

She's upset because Jon walked out and ended the show...she thought she could do it without him, but she had a rude awakening. I think that my last sentence in post 126 may be a great part of it. She hasn't matured to the point of being able to sit down and think this thing through. Emotionally, she's still on the level of a middle-schooler who thinks that if you've had wrong done to you, what you do is to get even. She called out BV. She can't move on because she feels she's been wronged (by Jon, by TLC, by haters) and when you let something like that fester, no good will ever come of it, and it's the kids who are caught in the middle of it.
Tonight is Kate's Stir Fry night! Nobody is jumping for joy here after the chili experiment, but we'll give it a try and an honest review. Yes, I have orders ready to go for steak sandwich take-outs! I will do it exactly as written, even with the soy sauce, although it's against my better judgment.
I have some really good stir fry recipes I found online that I use quite often, so we'll see how this one compares.

I feel that by Jon saying she is sitting on a pile of money, he ought to know what he is talking about. No one but the two of them know how much money she has and I believe him when he makes a statement like that. So it is very possible she has invested it wisely and is living off the interest or whatever else she has organized with all of the money. She does tend to be frugal, still uses coupons and cheaps out on the kids so I stick to my opinion that she is not going to blow through that money soon like people seem to think that she will.

Thanks, Dmasy! Question for the cooks out there -- should I use light brown sugar or dark brown sugar? She doesn't specify and I want to duplicate this as closely as possible. Dark brown has a more intense flavor because of more molasses.
I'm assuming she just dumps in the sesame seeds rather than toasting them to use as a garnish.
Over in TFW's country - Thanks to you and yours for taking one for the team. It would be great if you could take pictures!
Over in TFW
You are a brave woman. After subjecting my family to the chili, I was afraid that if I made them another of TFW's recipes, they'd banish me from the kitchen.
Funny how TFW seems to be thinking about marriage suddenly. First the photos from the Hawaii wedding, and then talking about Round 2. Does anyone really believe there will be a Round 2? Especially since any man can see how badly she treated Jon.Who wants that? If she were a man, treating his wife that way, there would be no talk of Round 2.
What kind of man is she looking for, anyway? Well, first, he would have to have a salary in the 7- figure range so he can pay all her bills. She has mentioned liking men in their mid-40s. He can't have kids of his own, because she won't put up with his kids in her house, and no way would he get to go spend time with them elsewhere. She wants him home to do her bidding. He'd have to have the patience of a saint, yet be of strong enough character to keep her in line. He can never gain an extra ounce, lose any hair, lose his temper, breathe in an unapproved manner, talk back, stand up for himself, or ever-ever-ever stop working. In fact, he needs to give up sleeping altogether so he can excel at his career, take complete care of the kids, do all the driving and yard work and pool care and housework and cooking. He must always lead TFW wherever she goes. While he works himself into a stupor, TFW will be a the spa, or at the hair salon, or getting her nails done, or tanning, or off somewhere having "me-time". When she returns from her pampering, he must bring her a glass of wine, massage her feet, and praise her for being the most beautiful, wonderful woman in the world and thank her a million times for letting him into her life.
Yeah, that's what her Round 2 is gonna look like...

How does TFW know that the twins don't have secret instagram accounts? Lets face it, the twins are more computer savvy than she is and could easily hide an account from her.
********
This is where it would be clutch if Kate and Jon were communicating and co-parenting as a team. Jon could take over the tech control for the kids and assure Kate that indeed the kids are not on social media.
Kate herself has no way of knowing, being void of technical skills.

TFW used to use a different program for her twitter pics, but since twitter upgraded and she spend a few days in "twitter jail" she is using twitter to upload her pictures instead of the other program. You can still see her old twitter pictures here:

What exactly is not "real" about the cast as it is? They all seem pretty real to me. In fact they're so real and honest they get in trouble. Sherry for being so stupid, Elisabeth for her conservative views, Joy for her outspokenness. Whoopie for telling people to basically f-off when she loses her patience. Haha I love her.
Also Whoopie, Barbara, Joy, Meredith, Elisabeth and Sherry all have kids so it's not like they are missing a voice from the moms. Brooke too when she subbed in. They are all moms, every single one of them!
Maybe the sheeple didn't notice the mom thing was covered because the View cast doesn't talk about their children every waking moment.

Does MsGoody have multiple personalities? This is the personality that thinks family should be left out of all the battles. JON IS FAMILY, MsGoodyWhateverShoes you are today.
Just saw this, Amanda Byne's mom got conservatorship granted today. I hope she will shut down her twitter account and get her the help she needs. What a sad situation.
Going back to the comments that she hates Jon because he stopped filming, I agree. And sadly a comment I made in 2011 is equally true today two years later:
Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) has left a new comment on your post "Kate on Access Hollywood":
I understand her being upset with Jon over filming when this happened. EVeryone has disagreements with family sometimes and everyone gets upset. But you move on and forgive each other if you're healthy. This was, what was it, two years ago? To still be harping and harping and harping about this same issue now as if this just happened yesterday is not only ridiculous, but immature and unhealthy. She'll never do it, but I think therapy might really help someone like her struggling with conflict to work on processing things and forgiving and moving on.
Someone needs to tell tweeter Brenda that they'd have an easier time getting Mama June Shannon into Joy's old seat on The View. Subtitles and all. I'd tune in just to see her interact with Whoopie. And Mama June is Real! A mom! Has a current hit show!
I don't watch HBB, but I do check out the ratings to compare to K+8. It is well into Season 2 of HBB, and ratings are consistently between 2 mil and 2.5 mil. It was over 2 mil last Wednesday, even up against the premiere of Shark Week. (I love Shark Week!) K+8 only had two episodes, total, that went over 2 mil. Just the first and second episodes, then dropped steadily. Bet that just burns TFW up!
The results are in. The stir fry is better than the chili. However, I wouldn't make it again because I found recipes online that are so much better.
Comments/Ratings out of 10:
#1: This isn't as good as you usually make, but I kind of like it; rated 5.5
#2: Why are there so many snow peas in here?; rated 6
#3: Geez, did the lid fall off the salt shaker? Way too salty!; rated 4.5
#4: It's okay. I'll eat it because I'm hungry; rated 5
#5: May I make a pb&j instead?; rated 3.5
#6: It tastes too soy-saucy, but it's not too bad; rated 4
Cutting the amount of soy sauce in half (or even a third) would be better, and you really don't need a quart of snow peas. Take about 1/3 out of the recipe. I used dark brown sugar. Everyone agreed that the sesame seeds should be toasted and sprinkled on top. When mixed with the other ingredients they were just weird. I used three cloves of garlic -- four would have been overkill. I served it with multi-grain bread that I bought at the bakery. It helped soak up the soy sauce! I felt like saying, "Tonight I have prepared for you..."
Bottom line: Everyone ate it and I didn't have to call for take-out. It's okay, not dreadful. It seemed very salty to me and I like salt. I'm glad I have bottles of water in the refrig. We may go through several of them tonight.
Any questions - ask away!
OT -- did anyone read the story of Oprah in the boutique in Switzerland? Shades of Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman!

So sorry jolie J that your sister had to lose her daughter from cancer, it will be the absolute worst thing she will ever have to face.
Just from the short amount of time that my child was in the media, it was so exhausting, it is almost like having a job. It really gets to me that TFW takes her children's health so for- granted, and wants them out in the public eye. She has to be so motivated by money, that her thinking is still so clouded. Yes, my daughter had many fun times, she got to go to the huge toy store in New York, and danced on the big piano that was in the movie 'BIG', got to meet the real character named ET, had an awesome time when she got to see the musical 'CATS', met the children's singer called 'Rafi', met and spent time with Kurt Browning, and so many more fun things. But along with all of the good fun, there are always sick-minded people around, sick enough not to worry about the things they say, or the threats they make, about a child they don't know. And TFW knows all about creepy people who want to be friends or more with her kids! Could my child have gone on to make lots if money, could we be living in a house bigger than the 680 sq.ft. we live in now? No one can ever know what the future holds. I just know that children should only belong to their family, and not to every idiot out there. Just reading what TFW tweeters tweet to her, she should be shaking in her boots! Strangers talking about her kids as if they were their kids, well you all have seen what goes on. I think the woman needs therapy, but will never, ever get it. I just wish she would leave the kids out of being public, and let them be kids who have lots of family, and are able to just be kids! Man, that woman gets my knickers in a knot! Rant over.
I bow down in awe of your intrepid quest!

Definitely not lemon hummus. Nobody here know what hummus is, and I'm sure they don't want to find out. I was going to make the meatloaf, but the recipe (with the exception of carrots) is so much like mine, that it couldn't be fairly critiqued because I'm sure it tastes the same. Only difference is that I put the ketchup into the meat loaf instead of squirting it on top and I add finely chopped fresh parsley into the mix.
Are there more of her recipes lurking somewhere?
Over in TFW's County, thank you so much! I think you and your family deserve a nice dinner out to make up for it. I wish I could give you my credit card number to use!
Stir fry is one of my favorite foods. I used to make it all the time. It was quick and always
tasty, not so much because I was a great cook but because those fresh, quickly stir fried foods were the perfect blend of flavors and texture, enhanced by the savory sauce. I think I am very glad my love of stir fry will not be tainted by the lingering aftertaste of too much soy and a plate full of snow peas. You are way
tougher than I am. Thanks to all who sat through that experiment.
Talking about soy sauce over-load, I just read an article this past winter, that soy and soy products make your fat cells puff up!

I know we don't normally like to talk about Kate's family however I find this interesting. One of TFW's siblings recently had a baby this year. Everyone else I know who has a new niece or nephew gushes about it. Yet not one peep from TFW about how excited she is to be an auntie again? It's so strange the things she tweets about and the things she's silent about. I hope the kids are allowed to see their new cousin.

Could that be the sibling she visited this summer? She said virtually nothing about that trip.
Over in TFW's County,
If you google "Jon and Kate Plus 8 Recipes", there are more that show up. I think they were on GWOP, so just click on the one for GWOP. It has Jon's beef bulgogi recipe which I have made and my whole family really liked. We were in Korea many years ago while my DH was in the military, and we really liked that dish. Jon's recipe is spot-on. There are also recipes for the meat loaf, Monkey Munch, Grandma's Vegetable Soup, and a few others. My kids frequently ask me to make the bulgogi, and one of my sons, who is engaged, asked for the recipe so he and his future wife can make it after they are married. Make that one and compare it to TFW's stir-fry. Jon's recipe wins hands-down!
http://ask.fm/JacobRoloff/
There should be a post on this. God help those Gosselin kids.
Jacob is a typical troubled teen who unfortunately is famous and is using that fame to just unleash. He has a big audience and he loves to shock and awe. I don't put very much credibility in half of what he says. He's doing it for attention. It's become a drug to him, an addiction. He has learned from a young age that you value attention above all else, even if it's just from strangers. I don't think it's any coincidence he was the youngest Roloffs to be filmed. He was far too young to understand it or deal with it in a healthy manner.
This is probably just a sad glimpse into the future for many reality stars who started being exploited so young.

Oh, I totally agree 100%. I want to feel pity for him but his latest blustering about how he bullied some classmate in 7th grade into changing schools kind of erased any sympathy I had.
If Kate really (REALLY?) thinks she can control ALL 8 of her kids online presence until they are adults, she's sorely mistaken.
I only wonder why Jacob's parents haven't put a stop to this account. I guess I know though. Amy seems checked out as a mother and Matt is too self involved.
I do think Jacob has been sort of the forgotten child while his parents got swept up in their commitments to TLC but I'm not sure they can be blamed much at this stage. He's 16 pushing 17, he's going to do what he wants to do.
They could cut off his cell phone and internet but he'll just do it at school, the library or use a friend's phone or computer.
The internet is too ubiquitous now. Everyone has it, every place has it, it's everywhere. You used to be able to just cut your kid off from it. You just can't do that anymore, especially as they get older and more independent. He's clearly testing boundaries feeling out how far he can push it. This is what many teens do, the problem is most of them have a safe audience of 12 friends, not thousands of fans.

I have to disagree. Matt and Amy admitted in one of their latest episodes that Jacob 'kind of got forgotten with the twins getting all the attention'.
Matt and Amy are piss poor parents. They should have nipped Jacob's behaviour in the bud when he was 12 and 13 and got kicked out of the bible school.
Hell, they should have nipped it in the bud when he was 8! They always called him a problem child but never did a thing about it. In fact, Matt told Jacob he'd BUY HIM A CAR if he got a D in school and not F's. Bribery is Matt's thing. It didn't work though, obviously.
And Amy is no better. She's so focussed on herself, her 'charity', her 'teaching career' and there's little left over for Jacob.
Both Matt and Amy feel their parenting is done. They've said so in fact.
Parenting is NEVER done. It's a lifelong job. One that I particularly enjoy.
Jacob still lives under their roof. Take away his internet, his online games, his phone, and stop driving him to friend's houses. Sure, he'll get on the internet somewhere else but at least it wouldn't be under their own roof.
I'm a hardass mom though.

...We know she borrowed a lot of money against the kids' house in Jan. 2012,
She would not have done that if she didn't need the money. How long will that last? Is she taking money from the kids' trusts to cover some expenses? Will there be enough left to pay for their college? What is her long-term plan for paying off the money she borrowed against their house? She is gambling with the kids' funds."...
**************
I agree that TFW is using the money THE KIDS earned when they were working and I definitely question how she's going to maintain the lifestyle, but I think she's got plenty saved - for now at least. IMO she's living off of the interest as well as the income from the jobs she's picked up here and there like DWTS and CWS. Her savings won't last forever and I don't know what she's got planned for the distant future, but for right now, I think she's fine.
Where did you hear that she borrowed money against the house? I don't recall hearing anything about this when she refinanced to change from a high interest rate balloon mortgage to a conventional lower rate last year.
The original mortgage was $720,000 in '08.
She re-financed $662,000 in 11/11.
She didn't take any extra when she took out this mortgage and there is only 1 mortgage listed for the property.
What did I miss? I'm scratching my head. lol

Over in TFW Country, I bow before your courage in doing the recipe experiment! And may I send you and the family a gallon of virtual rumspringa. or maybe just water to flush all that salt out of your system.
Over in TFW country, I like to watch a reality competition show called face off. one of the judges, Glenn Hetrik, last season had one of the best worst critiques I've ever heard. he was judging a contestant creature makeup. He said ” When you get close, it punches you in the face with how bad it sucks.”
it just seems to me the statement could apply to any of the recipes from TFMJG.
Over in TFW, thank you. Your family sounds like a fun bunch. You are a great sport.
What happened to Katie Irene the dog? I've seen Jack requesting Shoka pics and Jack snoring, but nothing about Katie Irene lately.
Much like TFW, her 15-minutes have ticked away. Poor Katie Irene.
Oh, I caught the end of pioneer woman's cooking show. She was making a birthday meal for her great grandmother. All fresh & homemade & served on REAL china plates for everyone, including the kids! Heartfelt too. She is 89 years old. No screaming or bossing around the kids from Ree. Much more relaxed than TWF. I would watch PW anytime over TWF!

My phone's iOS was updated so I cannot post under ID name anymore so I'm posting as anonymous now in order to post my comments.
Anyway, I forgot to ask if anyone had noticed that TWF has never told Milo directly what a great mom she is? I was thinking about that after reading Milo's tweets recently...it's always the same slobbering & over the top praise to TWF. Has she returned any to mo? I do remember her tweeting something g for 'all the moms' or to the moms out there, whatever. But never praised milo directly just because she thought so. i'm seeing she only replies to milo if she tweets to TWF, not the other way around.

Joy, the stir fry wasn't that bad. Honestly. It just needed some tweaking. Not everyone has the same preferences in food. I thought it was salty; some would say it was just right and others might say it was bland. She has the basics there, and I knew better than to saute and steam at the same time! Nobody got sick during the night. We all made it through. The chili, however, is another story!
I was comparing her stir fry recipe with the ones that I usually use, and I think that some ginger would have made it better. Also, don't dump the sesame seeds into the mix. That just didn't work! I'll have to try Jon's Asian recipe, though. It sounds very good. I wonder if she doesn't make her Grandma soups anymore -- we don't hear anything about how she spent three days in the kitchen slaving over this tradition.

I saw that. I was trying to figure out who Doctor Doom is. So it's a subculture of a subculture? LOL! She's really heavily involved there, isn't she? It seems to be the high school mentality of trying to fit in with an off-crowd, throwing around language just for the shock value to prove that you can fit in and curse with the worst of them! I often wonder, though, since many of these in his crowd are parents of young children, why they don't know better. How will they handle it when their kids, at an early age, turn to the internet and do exactly the same thing? It seems that quite a few fans are stuck at the same maturity level as TFW. Maybe that's why they all relate so well to each other, despite all of their age differences.

@Kateplusmy8. What's your favorite alcoholic/non-alcoholic drink? ☕🍹🍸
This fan is hysterical! What a loonie! The Collin dance questions and the bucket list questions, the ice cream brand and the "how r u" questions went unanswered, and now she (or he?) has moved on to this one!
I forgot to add that I made white rice with this because we're all white rice people. In fact, when we do Chinese take-out, we always order double on the white rice. I'm not sure I would have liked brown rice with Kate's recipe, but that's just me.
Wasn't Mady supposed to do some theater thing this summer? It was hush hush when TFW talked about it at the beginning of summer, but we were to get the details later on I thought?

Oh, good gawd. Is she nuts? By retrieving the Hawaii pics the kids are focusing on good memories? Being lied to? Promises of mommy and daddy always being together and then having that promise broken? That's a good/pleasant memory? The kids may have had a good time in Hawaii, but when they look at the photos they are always going to think of the way things were back then, when mommy and daddy were together, and then that promise was broken and their lives were completely changed.

You don't make a promise like that, in faith or otherwise, if you know that the marriage is on the rocks, especially since you can't foresee the future! Kate hoped for the better? On what planet? She hoped that he'd stay with her for the show and her continuing lifestyle of the rich and famous, not because of her love for him or sense of family values.

If you check amortization tables for the original 10-yr loan, she would have owed about $500K after 3 years. She tok out a $662K mortgage. And, when she took the loan out in 2011, she had removed the name of the lawyer in charge of the kids' trust before she did that. There was no record of the original loan being paid off (the original loan was included in the kids' trust). So, it is quite possible that she took out that $662 mortgage in her name, without paying off the mortgage held by the trust. Someone tweeted about two mortgages on the property a few weeks ago, and I looked back to see if there was any documentation of the original loan being paid off--there was none that I could find. We assumed she refinanced, but there is no evidence (that I could find or that was ever posted anywhere) of that. But all the other transactions--her putting the property in her name, removing the lawyer's name, taking out a loan--were all available. Why not documentation of paying off the original mortgage? Unless she didn't pay it off.
It seems like TFW is probably an adequate home cook but a cookbook worthy chef? I don't think so. It just goes to show that if you've got the money and need your ego stroked you can get anything published. I would actually like to see her interviewed and be asked how many books she's sold. That would be an "um, um, did you know i have and cook for 8 kids" moment. Deflect. Without TLC, CC or anyone else behind her I doubt that she'd get away with providing a list and saying that she'd only answer questions from that list. I guess she could always pull "it's a limited run edition and you'll be lucky to get a copy". And if asked how much she made she can always say, "it's not about the money it's about giving my fans what they've been asking for for years".

I agree. Which is why Jon did his part going to therapy and was desperate for TFW to please go too. She did a little with LaFaire but LaFaire said she got frustrated because TFW wouldn't talk about what she asked her to talk about, such as her childhood. TFW was concerned about how they could exploit this situation such as through Dr. Phil.
When you don't even give marriage counseling a fair shake and are just plotting how to exploit the situation, it's hard to pull the "it takes two" card. Gimme a break.

It does take two to make it work.
Jon seemed like he was trying to make it work by suggesting marriage counseling and stopping the show.
So if his ex-wife didn't want it he couldn't force her make it work.
And if asked how much she made she can always say, "it's not about the money it's about giving my fans what they've been asking for for years".

Well, NJ, she's doing it with pics of the kids -- because the fans have been asking, so yes, that will be her reason for the cookbook! Of course the fans are gullible enough to believe she's doing it for them, not because she's trying to drive them to her website to order her book!

Exactly.
Like this statement from Goody2shoes.

@Sandy070707 @Kateplusmy8 So, what is the truth? Is it that Kate is really a good person despite what others think?
So I'm guess she think Jon's a good person to.
I mean he's a good person despite all the nasty thing she said about/thinks him right?
I watched a show on the bio channel, The Unexplained. A mother has six children, one of whom is severely disabled. His name is Collin. He is deaf, cannot walk or talk or feed himself, shakes constantly -- spends all of his time in his crib or wheelchair. Neurologists don't have a definite diagnosis. It's not cerebral palsy, but they just don't know what kind of brain injury caused this. I didn't get his age, but he looks to be about nine or so. This mother, bless her heart, is his caregiver. I believe the father split when he found out about his son's disability and she remarried. The other children are beautiful...polite, intelligent, well adjusted, ranging in ages from five to college age. There is so much love in the family, and they adore their disabled brother. If this program is shown again, watch it -- it's really something to see this mother care for her child, and all that she does for him on a daily basis.
I was thinking about Kate and how she was blessed with eight healthy, beautiful children. The mother of the disabled child just wants to be able to care for her son. Because he can't communicate, she doesn't know what he needs, if he hurts, if anything makes him happy. He just likes to be cuddled.
Kate's fan carry on about how she is the most amazing, awesome mom in the universe -- she is their role model, their hero, and does everything for the kids all on her own. She is their inspiration. They should watch the show on the Bio channel if they want to see a real mom's love for her children and how every aspect of her life revolves around her kids -- so unselfishly.
This mother's main worry is what will happen when the time comes that she can't physically take care of him. Kate stresses because she can no longer find a place in the entertainment industry for herself and her kids.
What a world.
Whatever happened to the "other" Emily, the one who, along with Paige, set up an account to harass Ellen? Has she disappeared?
==============
Wasn't that Emilykateplus8 or something like that? She must have disappeared. I don't think she's been around on twitter for quite some time.
Did you all see the Catholic family from Michigan (I think) who brought home their 12th child? All boys! And the mother's sister has 10 children. All boys! Amazingly enough, they are supporting them without a reality show.
Either Katie is delusional that she can't support her kids outside of exploiting them, or she was correct that God does provide .. unfortunately for her, He only provides for Catholics.
(Just kidding all!!)
Joy, I haven't laughed so hard in ages. THANK YOU.
