Once in awhile a reality show comes along that tries to make a difference. "The Big Tip" promises to do just that by singling out people in the restaurant service industry deserving of recognition for community service or just all around do-gooders (one waitress is a foster mom, another gives all her money to a dog rescue, still another is also a firefighter). Rachael Ray will then present the waiter or waitress with a "big tip" in the form of a check.
We're not the biggest fan of chirpy Rachael Ray, her mediocre cooking skills and her ripoff garbage bowl marketed to solve a problem that never even existed, but this tear jerker is a cool idea. And it has a little bit of credibility, since Rachael started out as a waitress herself in her parents' restaurants. She works hard, owns pit bulls, and she promises not to bear offspring because she just wouldn't be a fit mother, which you have to respect. Looking forward to this one.
Sunday, Food Network. 10 p.m. or check local listings. The series premieres Sunday with promises of more episodes in the fall.

«Oldest ‹Older 1201 – 1400 of 1604 Newer› Newest»I just want to say that it not uncommon for an abuser to focus on one child in the family. From her very own words I think she has zeroed in on this little boy. Perhaps he reminds her of Jon? Perhaps he was defiant? He was not born with a want to please. This is learned behavior. I think it is more along the lines of submission. That little boy is afraid of his mother and the consequences of going against her. So if you want to say he stayed with her to please her, you bet he did.
I understand what you guys are saying. There is no proof other than Kate's own words and that was years ago.
Anyone that volatile with a defenseless toddler is going to use more force on an older child. That's just the way it is.
Kate is a twit said... 194
I bet if Kendra or Terri Irwin tweeted that one of their family members was sick, Kate would reply in a heartbeat.
4444444444444444444
Only if it was about one of their kids, so that Kate could tweet "You think your kid having an amputation is bad, try masterminding a nanny who is supervising 8 kids blowing their noses! #WeNeed8CasesOfFreeKleenexClapClap!
Twitter couldn't be a better place for her to make up wonderfully fantastic Disney happily-ever-after stories like they're one big happy unit. It really is a liar's paradise. 196
Twittersodes.
I remain convinced that she makes up the quotes from the kids too. Plus, there is no way she'd tolerate all that shrieking and screaming
These are the "fun" activities that Kate has tweeted about since school ended:

I feel so bad for them. They could watch TV or movies anytime. Like when it's 20 degrees out. Geez.
Dwindle - Yep, arguing with Kate's little flock of mouth breathers is an exercise in futility. Nodding in agreement seems to pacify them enough that they'll go back to their alfalfa grazing. I think the only reason Kate is even getting any airtime on tv by any network is to demonstrate just how awful a mother she really is. If they haven't figured that out by now they never will. Kate seems content with it too as long as she gets paid.

I agree. Being spanked, yanked up by your hair and thrown into a crib (how many times that happened, we'll never know) would absolutely leave his mind indelibly imprinted with a fear of his mother. What's worse is he might bring that fear into any relationship as an adult, thinking that love and fear belong together.
Kate see her kids as a groups and it seems it how she teats them. It's really sad.
+++++++++++++++++++
I know this was a typo, Chef, but it really struck me as funny. I didn't know teat was a verb. Somehow the conversation comes back to Kate and those darn inflatables!
Kate and the fans. If you read some of their timelines, they really do think they have a personal relationship with celebrities. Many of them aren't exclusively Kate fans. I have to shake my head. A few of them tweet (or teat) to their idols, telling them that they are making oatmeal for breakfast, or going to church, or filling their pools with water. It's like they believe that the celebrity actually cares. It's a fantasy world for them, and I guess as long as it fills whatever need they have and nobody is harmed, then so be it. But as the Catfish episode showed, sometimes there are no boundaries, and these fans just get caught into this web so far that they can't work their way out. That's when you run into problems, as was clearly seen on the Catfish show.

Very interesting- I can see how a child would watch something over and over to resolve conflict and gain confidence.
I could barely bring myself to watch the original Wizard of Oz 1-2x a year.
Freaking flying monkeys.
I checked my cable listings for the morning shows on June 19, and Kate is listed as appearing on Good Morning America on ABC.
Guess the Today Show and the View didn't wanted her after the fiasco with the twins.
Kiat,
I agree with your observations about Barb (137, last page):
- she is not "the Uggs lady" - that's Brenda
- her tweet wasn't really a tease because it was a follow-up to an earlier, factual tweet
I'd like to add something about Barb's tweets. I think she wasn't so much tweeting to Kate, as she was tweeting to the other sheep. And she did get appropriate and sympathetic responses from them.
I believe for some of the sheep, tweeting Kate is reaching out to a community. When people post personal things here, they aren't asking from ADMINs sympathy, they are sharing something important to them with the community of posters, and they usually get appropriate responses from them.
I think of twitter as a giant mash-up of many, many blogs. The best ways of "dividing" it into separate blogs are through recipient (@kateplusmy8) and through hashtags. In my opinion, the sheeple would do better to quit tweeting k directly and establish a hashtag for their "communal" tweets (like #welovekate or #katefans). But they clearly don't understand hashtags at all, so they haven't done this. The result is that tweets that expect a response from K (Milo's bleatings) get mixed up with tweets that are to the whole community (which is what I think Barb's was).
Dwindle - Yep, arguing with Kate's little flock of mouth breathers is an exercise in futility.
++++++++++++++
LOL, Auntie. Mouth breathers. If you ever come this way, be sure to let us locals know. We would love to get together, drink a few (okay, more than a few) Rumspringas, and laugh all night,
I STILL don't watch the Wizard of OZ. I don't care that flying monkey's were "saved" by Dorothy taking out the wicked witch...
So GMA drew the short straw, and is having TFW on Monday
morning? Like I said yesterday, it was too soon to count her out.
But the woman draws eyeballs because she's controversial - not
because she's the supermom she and her minions believe her to be.
She's in desperation mode now, and I think that will be evident in
any interview.
Since she'll need to be camera ready at the crack of dawn Monday,
I predict she'll head to NYC tomorrow. And perhaps will magnanimously allow her kids to be with their father on Father's
Day. Then again she might just have a nanny stay over with them,
just to deprive Jon (and the kids) of the pleasure.

On this charity special that the children are doing, she could draw blood on their legs, cause brain injuries, hang them in chains, and shove bamboo up their toenails. The sheeple would say #YouWouldTooIfItPaidRight, #YouWouldTooIfYouHad8Kids, #PoorKateIsSoBusyAndExhausted and #It'sAllJon'sFault. A few sheeple would throw in #EffingUngratefulKids as well as #PoorKateDeservesAFewMinutesToHerself.
That is, IF they could type what with their knuckles all banged up from dragging on the ground all the time.
Dang; I seem to be in mood. Sorry Admin and Blog Girls/Pool Boys. A little retro Dwindle, it seems, eh?
A psychological technique used by child psychiatrists is to give the children some toys and ask them to tell a story with them.(the psychiatrist asks the child some questions throughout, well you get the point).The children often tell their real stories of abuse.Remember many moons ago, when Kate plus 8 was barely alive, they made this episode " Movie Makers" where the children had to come up with a story and characters they wanted to play? Do you remember what their story was? It was children living in an orphanage where they were forced to work all they long by an evil woman.The orphans run away to a magical land where they find some magical creatures and pirates who offer them shelter from the evil which and they live happily ever after.The Klovers can say whatever they want I do not believe this story the kids came up with is a coincidence.Long before Mady said all she's ever known is work, the kids tried, in their own way, to tell any stranger that walked in their house what their life was/is like.

You're spot on! Kate has stated numerous times that Collin was the stubborn of the bunch, in another book(I Just Want You to Know) she also talked about Collin constantly challenging her, it was written on this blog: " In Collin’s letter, he tests and tries her authority every chance he gets."
I know this was a typo, Chef, but it really struck me as funny. I didn't know teat was a verb. Somehow the conversation comes back to Kate and those darn inflatables!

@SandieBellz @Kateplusmy8 Yes, I agree! Nine is fine..but ten would be a better win! #FindKateAMate Waiting 4permission2start campaign! LOL
Milo wants to start a campaign to find Kate a boyfriend. I guess the Growing One has worn out his welcome. She may wait a long time for permission. She never did answer Milo about the running challenge. I guess Milo gave up on that one and is moving to finding Kate a mate.

@Kateplusmy8 so a mom cant post a cute pic of her daughter with a pet without "exploring" them?, such freak haters. Lexi is ADORABLE!

I love sheeple -- well, most of the time, unless their potty mouths don't get in the way.
"White, I think TFW is watching "The Princess Diaries" a film starring Anne Hatheway and Julie Andrews about a young girl who finds out she is a princess of a small country. It has nothing to do with Diana." (197)
Lol, and thanks, Kiwi! (97) I should know better than try posting before having the required amount of caffeine in my body. But then again, you know what? Apart that this princess doesn't die at the end, her story is still eerily similar to TFW's...
From IMDB: "Mia is the average teenager - sweet, a little geeky and pretty much invisible to everyone. (...) (But suddenly she learns that she...) is in fact the heir to the throne of a European country called Genovia. Suddenly Mia's life is thrown into complete overload. She's being taught about scarves, waves and pears in order to become a perfect princess, she gets a makeover and a tough looking yet sweet bodyguard/limo driver called Joe. Things get out of hand when the media gets a hold of the story and suddenly Mia is thrust into the spotlight in both the newspapers and in school. "
Putting myself in the corner for misreading the date of the GMA
interview. Sorry! AuntieAnn, if there's any extra construction paper
at your craft table, would you whip me up a dunce cap? No glitter -
I don't deserve any.
So Thursday morning will be the GMA appearance. The morning
of the special. Will that mean 2 separate countdowns by Gladys?
A morning talk show appearance and a nighttime program! Poor
LOM is probably fitting himself for ear plugs as we speak...
So Kate DID get a promotional appearance on GMA? Gee, that's just #superfunfantastic.
Anybody else wondering if the whole fam-damily will be with her?

I guess Schmoopy won't be staying overnight in NYC Thursday,
as she promised a home viewing party/friends over/tweetapalooza.
Who are we kidding - she'd bail in a heartbeat if it meant room
service and spa time away from the 8 little moneymakers.
Is The Today Show is taking a pass on this one? *snicker*
You know it sounds like, Kate has cable service only in her room. The family TV is for movies or is that the 3d TV? or does she have both?And it also sounds like, the kids can only watch what momma says they can watch, which seems to be a narrow choice. Poor kids.
I HATE flying monkeys!!!! So as an adult, I am not a monkey fan, LOL. Except for The Monkees from the70's.
If she is scheduled for GMA June 19, that means she'll be staying in her ritzy hotel with Steve the night before. Since it's GMA, maybe Today is done with her. I hope so. Bitch.
ITA, she is cat fishing herself. Robert said she lies on Twitter ( he was at the bus stop) and the nanny was there, not Kate like she said on Twitter. All those cutesy sayings she attributes to the kids? Made up. The woman is freakin' sick. What a nightmare.
Other than when she cooked her "famous" meat loaf, has Kate ever appeared on GMA? I know that she and Tony did a satellite interview from LA when they got booted off DWTS, but I don't she's been on there since.
It'd be funny is she got confused and went to the Today studio instead.

Nah KK will never ever miss her all eyes on MEEEEE camera time,
Being out in the countryside, she has satellite TV. If you have only one receiver, everyone has to watch the same program. We had separate receivers for each TV. I bet you that's what she has done, although with internet the kids ( it sounds like only the girls got iPads and twins got iPhones) can watch TV on apps.

Not unless it's also a slumber party. Maybe parents of 13 year olds might not find an 11pm pickup unusual, but 10 year olds? Even in the summer. I don't think there are many moms who like her enough to play that game. Plus don't most of the school friends live a fair bit away? Don't see the twins wanting friends over considering how they feel about the younger ones, and how they act towards their mother.
#inyourdreams

I'm not sure what you are asking here. You can have cable on all of your televisions and still watch movies on them. Why wouldn't they have cable on the basement television, along with the ability to watch movies? You don't need a DVD hooked up to each television in order to watch movies. Many sets have players built right into them for movie watching, and she could get Netflix on any television. We have cable on all of our sets and can watch movies on all of them.
( it sounds like only the girls got iPads and twins got iPhones) can watch TV on apps.

Another trip with Steve in NYC and on tee-vee, concierge, demands, shopping.
TW to the waiter at NOBU: Kobe Beef, med. well, and Steve does not eat salads. Bring him some pizza. Here's your chance, clap, clap!
No piecing and patching here. I wonder if they will try to ask kate about the book, why she copyrighted her Mommy Journal when it clearly says she abused her children and animals and she never did say they were all lies? Why would you Ms. Krieder, copyright something that is not true?
She needs to go back to her maiden name. She is not a Gosselin anymore.
So can I...most of the time, but it can get really nasty over there with the F off, and the C-callings. 46
I do draw the line at the c word.
But S-F- Damn, whateva.

I've never forgotten that when she divorced Jon, people suggested she go back to her maiden name and TLC issued a statement about how "she was a Gosselin, through and through".

I just want to say that it not uncommon for an abuser to focus on one child in the family.
*****************
I have personal experience with this. I was child number 7 out of 9. My mother didn't like me and I knew it very early on. I was blamed for every, single thing that happened in my family. I had a target on my back from the very beginning because I was very outspoken about things. I marched to a different drummer and she didn't understand that. I was beaten with a belt, slapped very hard across the face, humiliated and embarrassed in front of everyone. My father knew what was going on but he, like Jon, felt helpless to do anything about it because she was 'in charge' of raising the children while he worked. My father loved me and he was my only safe place. Unfortunately, he died when I was 16. After he died, all hell broke lose with me. I went crazy with my behavior, made soooo many bad choices and was miserable and depressed for a long time. I moved out the day after I turned 18. Things got worse for me. My mother was always cold and distant towards me until the day she died 8 years ago. Let's just say I'm pushing 60 and there are memories of her that haunt me to this day. Luckily, I married well and learned from my mother how NOT to treat people. I'm a strong woman, always have been. I fear for the Gosselin's future. It ain't going to be pretty. I know.
Why would you Ms. Krieder, copyright something that is not true?
&&&&&&&
She won't talk about the book, and won't even be asked about it.
"She needs to go back to her maiden name. She is not a Gosselin anymore."
&&&&&&&&
It will never happen. Her books are penned under Gosselin. It's her legal name. The shows were filmed under Gosselin. Nobody would know her as Kate Kreider and that would be a travesty. It's Kreider, pronounced Cry-der. Krieder would be pronounced Kree-der, rhyming with Feeder.
"Being out in the countryside, she has satellite TV"
&&&&&&&&&&&&
How do you know she doesn't have cable? We're out in the country, too, and we have cable. What's really funny is that some very remote farming areas here have cable, but some residences very close to businesses, towns, don't have service. I never could figure it out.

I have a potty mouth. Yep,I do, the funny part is I have never heard my hubby say one bad word in all the years we've been married. But I had a rough beginning in life and he had a charmed life loved by his mommy and sisters. So he understands besides its a great stress reliever.

That is so ridiculous! That's like saying her and Jon were related to each other and got married and had kids. They did not intend for that name change to happen because it would be now #GrowingUpKreider.
Read yesterday that a Grandmother is having a baby with her Grandson!!! She is 72 and he is 27. They found a surrogate who fell for their sob story and is happy to do it for them. They live in Indiana.
Update: As a lot of you have pointed out, the dearth of detail and lack of wide pickup should engender a significant amount of skepticism about the story. But why let skepticism get in the way of wide-eyed revulsion?

I read that story, too. Isn't that incest or a felony, or does it vary by state? I know in the UK, sex between a grandparent and a grandchild is incest. The story does say that they became "lovers."
So he understands besides its a great stress reliever.

I do believe that Milo cares. She cares so passionately about Kate and only Kate. She doesn't give a rat's butt about those kids. Otherwise, she wouldn't be begging to see them dragged out on television where they are displayed as a circus act. The thing is that the children are part and parcel of all things Kate. She has to buy the whole package or she wouldn't get to see the love of her life.
Oops. I guess she will miss Part I. Milo, get with it. It's your job!

I hear you : ) Something ain't right!!!!!!!!
Will the kids have to wait until they are 88 (Kate's number) to get time away from the cameras? This woman is warped beyond repair.
OK now, let's break this down...the girls' rooms and showers are on the second floor...TFW's room and kitchen area are on the first floor...the family and or TV room is in the basement....not even Ethel Merman had a good enough set of pipes to be heard over running water through an entire mansion. For these obvious flaws in her story I call BS. #alieaminutethere

I was thinking about that, too. However, if the kids are all upstairs getting ready for bed, and Kate is up there, too (for whatever reason), then certainly they could hear singing coming from the bathroom.
Good grief. She really is crazy. Isn't it time for her (him?) to go to bed?

That is not a "community." That is a cult.++++++++++++++++
Just want to differentiate 'cult' from 'fan girling'. There is NO money exchanging hands here. No one is required to give up family and loved ones to be a fan of Kate's.
Let's reserve the term 'cult' to actual, dangerous groups such as Scientology and Jim Jones' tactics.
Seems a bit pearl clutching when using a loaded term such as 'cult' for simple 'fan girling'. As always, imo.
NLgal51: Perhaps the kid was taking a shower in the main floor bathroom. Kate does has what 5 bathrooms. Bethany monday is repeating the show with Kate on it.
I love the comments to Kate getting the traded food from farmer Henry. I especially like the comment: doesn't Henry have his own chickens? Why does he need her organic eggs? Kate should be careful in what she calls organic, unless it is certified by the I think its USDA, your not to call it organic. More like home grown eggs. JMO

Obvious is right. She's doesn't even put any effort into her make-believe tweets. How lazy is that?
Rainbows: Kate said the kids don't watch much TV, and the only time she has mention them watching TV is movies, their DVD's and Fullhouse DVD's in the the family room. You can have cable only in one room, which I think is her bedroom only. Cause, anytime those kids watch any show, Kate says they watch it in her room with her. This is Kate way of control. So the kids don't watch anything in the family room except movies. Kate said a while back she has a 3d TV. Can a 3d TV be turned into a regular TV with a switch or does Kate have 2 TV's?
Why does he need her organic eggs? Kate should be careful in what she calls organic, unless it is certified by the I think its USDA, your not to call it organic. More like home grown eggs. JMO
=============
She can call it whatever she wants as long as she's not selling it to the public for profit. She can tell Henry that the eggs come from robins, and as long as he doesn't care, she's not going to get into trouble.
Getoftwitter and Sleepless - both of you make good points but I'm sticking by my theory. The kid would have to have better pipes than Ethel Merman to sing and be heard above a running shower in another room. Unless she was screaming the words (and we all know her kids are fond of screaming and screeching) and then that wouldn't be good for her throat. Nope, don't believe it for a minute.

-----------------
I believe her this time. I know she lies like a Persian rug, but I really don't think that everything she tweets is a lie. The bathrooms adjoin the bedrooms, and if the kids are in the bedroom and Kate is in one of the kids' bedrooms, I would certainly think she could hear singing in the shower. I know that I can here...even if I'm in the hall. I sometimes have to stop and laugh.
You can have cable only in one room, which I think is her bedroom only. Cause, anytime those kids watch any show, Kate says they watch it in her room with her.

Kate has said several times that the kids watch television on the lower level.
Kate said the kids don't watch much TV, and the only time she has mention them watching TV is movies, their DVD's and Fullhouse DVD's in the the family room.

When she recently tweeted that they were watching Full House, there was a marathon on television at that time. They weren't watching DVDs of Full House.

Kate loves to be reminded that she has haters! Some time ago, didn't -she threaten to block a loyal sheeple who kept telling her about the haters' comments?
Kate has tweeted pictures of the kids watching The View(when she and the twins were on) in the family room, and also watching the Super Bowl in the basement. So I'm assuming that she has cable for all the TV's in the house.
I think the 3D TV is the one in the basement.

Just want to.add - if you've followed this saga for any length of time, it has gone well above fan girling on the parts of some sheeple and some haters.
Of course there are some "just fans" and some "just nonfans".
There are, however, some cultists out there.
If your definition continues to require financial investment - think.about all the gift cards, etc they have sent. In terms of abandoning family - the defective detective abandoning her children her for the internet, not to mention Milo.........
Well, I don't believer her, but if what she said is true, she really has no business tweeting about it and she's nothing but a blabbermouth. It's disgusting how she keeps putting those private details out there.

Yes, you're right. Any group that gathers together can be a cult. What constitutes the cult is that the group professes extreme devotion to a person or thing. There certainly can be a cult of fans who sets the celebrity up to venerate or worship. No money needs to exchange hands and nobody needs to give up family.
Just to check myself, I looked it up:
Obsessive, especially faddish, devotion to or veneration for a person, principle, or thing;
An instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, especially as manifested by a body of admirers
If that doesn't describe the sheeple, I don't know what does.

I just read your comment and some parts of it read like my own life. I too had a better relationship with my father who understood me more and I too married a person who was well loved. I distanced myself from my mother for many years but now she has dementia and is living in a nursing home. I am responsible for her and at first I was so resentful but I have come to accept the situation and I try hard to do the right thing to make my own life one with fewer regrets.
When I say I understand where you are coming from, I really do. Thanks for sharing.

I just want to say that it not uncommon for an abuser to focus on one child in the family.
*****************
I have personal experience with this. I was child number 7 out of 9. My mother didn't like me and I knew it very early on. I was blamed for every, single thing that happened in my family.
****************************************************************************
The scapegoat Lalala, you were the scapegoat. So sorry for what you had to endure. In my family it was my brother and when you say you "you broke lose" my theory is, well if you've been told all your life you are this, or that, or because of you....you may as well make it true.And then of course when you're in this "bad" period, you've just just proven that everything she thinks or says about you is true. She will gleefully tell the world, "see? see?"But never ever does she think that her child is behaving this way because of her abuse. It's the other way around, YOU make her do what she does to you. Glad to see/read that you did everything NOT repeat history. My brother on the other hand, he also is over 60 and his life is still a mess, all about him, estranged from his kids and it's EVERYONE else's fault.
There will be at least one Gkid (chances are more than one) who will also follow in their mother's footsteps, it's inevitable.
the girls' rooms and showers are on the second floor...TFW's room and kitchen area are on the first floor...the family and or TV room is in the basement.
There is a tv on the main floor in the living room, in addition to the one in the basement and in her bedroom. There are pics of the kids all lined up on the edge of the rug in that room watching that tv.
Read yesterday that a Grandmother is having a baby with her Grandson!!! She is 72 and he is 27.
I googled to read the story you were talking about and the first result was from 2010; there have been others since then. It seems to make the rounds every few years.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1270047/72-YEAR-OLD-granny-affair-grandson-Pearl-Carter-hires-surrogate.html
Milo is so protective of her children's privacy (if it's true that she has kids). I'd love for her to explain why she shows no concern for the way TFW shows and talks about the G8. Milo asks for pics of them but shows none of her own. She asks about a specific G8 activity yet she tells virtually nothing about her own kids'. It's early and I must still be dreaming but I'd love to hear a genuine and honest answer about why the different standards for the G8 compared to their own family from any fan. Can they recognize the hypocrisy? Can they explain/defend it?
Oops, here's the pic of the G8 lined up on the floor watching tv in the living room on the main floor of the house. They're watching ABC, so at least that tv shows something other than a dvd.

Wouldn't most 10 year old girls be singing a Taylor Swift song, or something of that nature? My grand daughter is 11, and that is the type of song she sings.
Maybe she's just adding Alexis' talent to Mady's in the Von Goss(? or whatever she called them) Family Singers?
Just want to.add - if you've followed this saga for any length of time, it has gone well above fan girling on the parts of some sheeple and some haters.

I have to say I agree with this. You really cannot say she just has some fans like any celeb has fans. Some of these people are extremely irrational, angry and in attack-mode. All in the name of Kate. They have stepped way out of the bubble and actually called employers, etc. It IS a cult. You don't have to all off yourselves with poison for it to be a cult. A cult can be something in which their behavior is more of a nuisance than actually violent.
As far is it being common to focus on one or a few children to abuse, I agree that is 100% true. There are numerous examples that are public record, just one being a case in Colorado from a few years ago that the news media picked up. A couple killed their little girl and buried her under their house in Colorado. She was found by some plumbers while doing work. She had been abused by them for years and at one point in New Jersey social workers were involved. They had other children who were never even touched. They were all boys, incidentally.
When the CWS show was on, Mady said she knew who Kendra was because she snuck down to the basement and watched her show, I think it was Girls Next Door, or Kendra's first reality show.
I don't think Kate ever goes up to the kids rooms unless it is to throw a fit and all their stuff down the stairs. The rooms are really small for 3 kids to be in as far as the scenes shown on CWS. Bunkbeds, a single bed, 1 dresser and a small TV. Nothing on the walls to make it personal. This is all fine, but don't brag about how much better you are and how much more you have and then show it isn't true.
So can I...most of the time, but it can get really nasty over there with the F off, and the C-callings.
&&&
Which one or ones use the C word?
Maybe we can out our resident troll. I think I know who it is. She always comes over here with a semi-passive aggressive comment that quickly escalates into creepy outright anger, followed by calling me a C word. Yawn.
Reading thru the current issue of People, no photo or story about TFMJG. There is a single photo of Honey Boo Boo splashing on page 14, section where there are lots of photos of celebs on vacation or having fun.

Aw poor Kate Coyne. What did they tell her, it's Honey Boo Boo or nothing?
At 72 probably only one in a billion women would have a viable egg perhaps even zero women.
I read once a well respected fertility doctor saying as a rule of thumb if someone is having a baby at 45 or older it is not with their own eggs. He sounded nearly willing to stake his practice on it. There will be of course rare exceptions, everyone seems to have some cousin once removed who managed to drink from the fountain of youth. Or so they HEARD through the family lore. But as a general rule, it's a donor egg or adoption or some other means.
My fear is that those of us who don't like Kate exploiting her children, will watch the special out of curiosity. This will only increase her ratings, and she might get another series if the ratings are high.
They watch regular TV, but I think our point is that Kate controls what and when they watch. I got to say with all the trash on TV, I do not have a problem with that, EXCEPT for Kate it's control and punishment, not what is best for the child.
With all her controlling behavior, I have a feeling TFW isn't super strict
with TV. That is her magical getting-the-kids-out-of-her-hair box. If
it helps her kids "disperse," I can't imagine she'd nitpick about what
they watch.
Jennie, I don't think if you added all the people on this blog and other non fan sites would make a dent in viewership. There just aren't that many people left that are involved in this Gosselin mess. I do believe there will be decent viewership because most everyone hates her. Just read the comment sections in the online sources and magazine articles. They are almost exclusively negative. But I don't think it will be enough for anyone to offer her a new show. She's not even controversial anymore, just hated.
10 pm on a Friday night? I don't anyone needs to fear her ratings will be high. Even if every person on this blog watched the show, what are we? 40 people? I am taping it just so I can comment later.
It sure appears she has burned her bridges with People and The Today Show, LOL. She's done, particularly with the timing of Robert's book. I suspect she's been a source of gossip at every appearance too. Had she been humble with some talent, maybe she could have done more in the entertainment field. No, she'll never get a show.
I agree with Kylie's comments @128. Judging by her dismal cookbook sales, the fan base just isn't there any more. That's why TLC put her on right after the season premier of Honey Boo Boo, they're hoping people won't change the channel. I, for one, will be watching Hell's Kitchen because it comes on at the same time. I've got DirecTV and get the East Coast feed for cable channels and our prime time starts an hour earlier than most other states. I'm not sure what regular TV shows it will be up against anywhere else.

I don't care what Kate calls her eggs.
She doesn't know the meaning of organic practice, and to be fair, it's about as clear as mud on some levels.
That said, her eggs or NOT organic and shouldn't be called such, whether she's giving them to Henry, or, using them as currency, which she is.
I just roll my eyeballs when Kate spouts about "organic", because she's way too lazy to know what that really means, let alone, implement the practice and pay good money to get certified.
I'm sure Henry just shines her on about a lot of things.
I just let Good Morning America know I would not be watching their show on Thursday with Kate. I know I'm just one small voice but let them know any way. I told them they were helping her exploit her children by having her on the show. Let them know they had just lost a viewer!

Breaking Bad Breaking News!
Woohoo! This is exciting:
**AMC's Breaking Bad ended its acclaimed five-season run last year, but the final zoom-out scene featuring antihero Walter White may not have represented what you think it did.
Bryan Cranston hinted Thursday night during an interview with Ashleigh Banfield on CNN that his character could still be alive — having possibly survived his bloody gunshot wound.
"Spoiler alert for all of you who are going to watch Breaking Bad on Netflix — shut your ears right now," Banfield warned viewers. "I'm going to ask you, really, seriously, I wasn't so sure that you died, I really wasn't. Your eyes were open and I thought, 'What if the police just take him into custody, he gets better, breaks out and just goes nuts?'"
"Hey, you never saw bags zip up or anything," Cranston quipped.
"Is he dead?" Banfield asked more directly, to which Cranston replied, "I don’t know."
Banfield continued prodding: "No movie? No nothing? No Walter White ever again?"
“Never say never," Cranston said. **

@Kateplusmy8 Yeah. An Amish farmer doesn't have chickens and has to rely on you. Right.
I don't know if Henry has chickens or not, but not all Amish raise chickens. Levi S., who lives not far from me, has cows, cows, and more cows, pigs, an owl, barn cats, and a mean mule named Lester, but not one chicken in the barnyard. There was one rooster on the property, but he wandered out onto the road to strut his stuff, and well...
You know that tweet from Paige put a Grinch-y grin on TFW's face.
She doesn't need to trash her ex - her minions will do it for her.
And not correcting them (of course admonishing them would be
out of the question) is tacit approval. Disgusting. The dude is far
from perfect - he was a willing accomplice to the exploitation of
those children. But he has expressed remorse, which gives him
a whole bunch of credits to weigh in his favor.
TFW got all up in that poor Carlos Gosselin's grill about "stealing"
her name. I say she's stolen Jon's name.
You ladies are too kind to me. Besides, you crack me up.
I have given all of my remotes a firm talking to. There will be NO magical channel-changing under any circumstances, paranormal or otherwise, until I am certain that the coast is clear, Katie Irene wise.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&
She has no idea what organic means, but why should she pay money to get certified if she's really not in the organic farming business and just gives them away, or barters them away?
Now if she set up a produce stand at the end of her driveway and advertised them as "organic" eggs, then it would be a different story. If she thinks they are organic, let her think that. I doubt if anyone cares.
Could someone explain to me how advertising a sick relative is fixed by tweeting about it? I don't understand this facet of narcissism. How does tweeting that you're worried fix it. Do you magically stop worrying when 100 people retweet that you're worried?

It can't be redone.
You actually can't go back- tempus fugit.
Sucks, right?
Happens to ALL of us.
The other reason I don't think this show will come to fruition is Jon.
Imagine how any network would look when the father of 8 children is saying "my kids have been filmed enough, no more".
How can you take a stance against that?
Jon is right!
150+ episodes is enough already.
The network will look like slime balls, making money off of further selling the private lives of children.
It's practically reputation suicide.
chefsummer-- Paige's tweet is still there. I had to click on tweet & replies to see it.
----------------
I played both roles to my kids. When they were in grade school my ex husband decided to move over 1000 miles away and only see them once a year if that. He didn't see them alot when he was close either. Now that they are grown he doesn't understand why they don't get together with him when he comes back for other family things.
She has no idea what organic means, but why should she pay money to get certified if she's really not in the organic farming business and just gives them away, or barters them away?
******
I'm not arguing that she should, it's just her fantasy world once again.
She thinks if she says it's so, it is so, and this is just one more instance.
Her eggs are being used as currency, and I, for one, would not call my eggs organic if they were not.
Then again, I don't need to stroke my own ego and pretend I'm better than everyone else with my magical chicken eggs.
Kate's delusions defy logic and common sense, and this is just another example.
I'm not saying it's illegal.
It's just false.
It's one thing to grow organically, and another to actually BE organic.
Organic is not synonymous with pesticide free.
*off my soapbox now!*
My aunt brings us eggs all the time from her farm. We call them 'farm eggs'.
Life can sometimes be that simple, Kate. Pull the stick out.
Could someone explain to me how advertising a sick relative is fixed by tweeting about it? I don't understand this facet of narcissism. How does tweeting that you're worried fix it. Do you magically stop worrying when 100 people retweet that you're worried?
&&&&&&&&
It looks like Milo took Barb's tweet and made it about her. She (Milo) just has to be the center of attention when it comes to Kate. Kate does the same thing with her tweets and hashtags...it's always MEMEME.

Paige's tweet is still on the Tweet Tunnel (old tweets) page. I don't understand how Twitter works. If you delete a tweet on your page, does it still show up permanently on the Tweet Tunnel page?
Re: Alexis in the shower. The girls' shower is upstairs, away from Kate's room. How did she hear her? Didn't she once say she never goes in the girls' room? But then, she also said the kids aren't allowed in her room, so we can't really believe anything she says.
The layout of that house is so strange! Her room is on the first floor, the little kids' rooms/bathroom is on the upper level, and the twins are up a different staircase. The staircase to Mady and Cara's room is so far from hers, plus there is a door (leading outside) close to their room that she wouldn't even be able to hear from where she sleeps. They would have no trouble sneaking out (or sneaking people in) without her knowing. Don't think it won't happen as they get older. And the kids' rooms are so small. When you have 2-3 kids sharing a room, you need more space for them to move around. The kids spend so much time in the basement, but there is no door to the basement in the kitchen area.How does she monitor what they are doing from upstairs? It's all so haphazard. I wonder why she code such a strange house. Maybe she was so desperate to get Jon away from her that she grabbed the first large house she found.

Oh I understand what you did cause my mom did it to.
My father has 6 kids me my brother and four other by different woman my father-(use that term loosely) rarely took care of us.
We're now all adult my father only speaks to my oldest sister lucky for me. I have uncles and all some older brothers an my mom's bf to look after me.
I hate when KK fans call Jon a bad dad he's a great dad. My father was an dead beat a$$ but my mother never ever said that to her kids.
This is a description of the first episode of the special from TLC's website:
"It's a busy time to be a Gosselin, even on spring break! Still spread thin by the hectic schedules of her 8 kids, Kate and clan try to plan a birthday extravaganza for the sextuplets who have reached a huge milestone: double digits."
Spring break was in March, the tups birthday in May. Are they going to spin it that they were actually planning the birthday celebration 2 whole months before the actual event, or are they going to spin it that spring break is much closer to their birthday? Considering that they filmed the birthday party Memorial Day weekend, I guess anything is possible. We all know how "real" reality TV is.
Here's a description of the 2nd episode which I found on locatetv.com:
"The family scrambles to get ready for a carnival birthday celebration, but between transforming their yard and baking there is a lot to get done. Plus, after the guests have gone home Kate has one more birthday surprise."
Seems like a repeat of the show when they had the birthday pool party, with Kate running around like crazy as the "poor Mom of 8, who does it all".
Sounds like riveting TV, doesn't it?
@BarbGilmer I've already lost my dear dad....hard 2face this next round. It's life...we have 2deal w/it. But I'm sort of in denial abt it.

I didn't see barb say that her father passed away did I miss something?
Pease excuse me...Sleepless, you can only have cable in one room? We only have one cable box but cable runs to every room. The rooms without the box are standard cable, but we could rent a box for like $15 per month for each room. Is your provider different? We have time warner.
&&&&&&&&&
Reading back, Sleepless didn't say that. She was quoting getofftwitter in 93, who said that you can only have cable in one room.
I don't know how it is in getoff's area, but here you can have as many televisions hooked up to cable that you want. You get one big box for one room, and one free hookup for another room; each box for other rooms is an additional cost...very minimal.

Breaking Bad Breaking News!
Woohoo! This is exciting:
**AMC's Breaking Bad ended its acclaimed five-season run last year, but the final zoom-out scene featuring antihero Walter White may not have represented what you think it did.

OMG OMG OMG!!!!! (my best sheeple impersonation) Please let it be so!!
@Paige_Kate8fan: @Kateplusmy8 happy Father's Day Kate, you're playing both roles and your kids are very lucky to have you!❤️
*************
Hmmm, I see a retweet with that gem. Those 2 deserve each other
Why would Gladys include TFW in a tweet about "our beloved
parents?" From what we know, TFW has no relationship with
hers. What with them not knowing how to help her and such.
Dwindle, did you "tell" your remotes that if by some fluke or accident or the alignment of the stars that they did land on TLC and you see kate with the pink wig clown outfit that it and his/her accomplices (the other remotes) would be in jeopardy of the penalty of severeness!
Bwahahahaha!
Thanks, PA Dutch Mom. I'm as bad as the sheeple. Thursday night is even worse. People gotta go to bed to get up for work (Kate!)
I'm sorry about Barb's dad, but what does Barb think that Kate is supposed to do about it? Commiserate with her? I don't understand this need for attention on Twitter:

@lukebandit: @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 5 DAYS? That's what kate told tups at 2 yrs. old that was all the x they had to POTTY TRAIN! #GrowingUpGosselin
@Cowsbytheriver: @lukebandit @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 that's untrue Luke. You do more damage w your inaccuracies.
Lukebandit I have to agree with this tweeter (who is not a Kate fan). I don't believe that Kate told them they only had 5 days to potty train I think it was that she couldn't understand why, after 5 days, he wasn't potty trained. Big difference.
I'm with those of you that are going to TiVo. I've got mine set to do a later showing.

Was he only two years old when this happened? I don't know why, but I thought he was older than that.
I think it's more then 40 people who read here. I read in the anti-Kate blocks for more then 6 years before commenting. Maybe 40 who actually post? Admin. do you know how many?
I made up my mind long along to never watch them, read mags, or give her any help to stay relevant. Blogs like like this hurt her, that's why she wants them shut down. I'm still pisst that I watched at the beginning and wrote her fat checks. Oops , I meant fat checks to the cable company, who in turn gave fat checks to TLC, who in turn gave fat checks to Kate!
I can't even say your welcome Kate because she never says " thank you".
I'm old school I feel everyone can make up their own mind if they want to watch but I think it's kind of mean to tell people to "stop" expressing their opinion why people shouldn't watch. It's almost like saying shut up in a polite way.
Anyway don't they have reruns. Only the first broadcast matters for ratings, don't they??
So please don't throw tomatoes, I'm only trying to make nice for everyone involved!!
My aunt brings us eggs all the time from her farm. We call them 'farm eggs'.
Life can sometimes be that simple, Kate. Pull the stick out.
--------------------------------
And I bet Amish Henry calls them farm eggs, too. He most likely doesn't give a darn if Kate thinks they are organic, non-organic, or what. They are eggs. From chickens.
Paige's tweet is still on the Tweet Tunnel (old tweets) page. I don't understand how Twitter works. If you delete a tweet on your page, does it still show up permanently on the Tweet Tunnel page?
If a tweet @ Twitter is deleted it's gone from TweetTunnel also.
Yikes! I forgot to add hashtag to last comment.
#GrowingUpGosselinWithAMotherWhoNeverSaysThankYou
Kate claimed the girl tups were potty trained easily and bragged Hannah had NO accidents- although she did have one when they were caroling and also at the photography studio- was that the scene of H pooped in H's unnerwears? So she lied and made the boys out to be slow or defiant.
@GoKingDaddy: @Kateplusmy8 Happy Father's Day to Jon hope ALL his kids are with him on this special day & you didn't ruin his day. U aren't dad too.
Good on you GKD! Thanks for posting that
I don't know how anyone who regularly posts here could stand to watch her out of curiousity. I have ZERO interest in watching her mug at the camera. Blech. And her kids are ...kids.....what's the appeal again?
This was posted last year about the training on Hollywood life by Delta.
Collin and Aaden get the brunt of her wrath. She always said boys were icky. Simply astonishing that a mother would give her child 5 days in which to potty train…poor Aaden got beaten for that one.Let the Gosselin 8 sneak into your prayers they truly need them. Hug your kids they need love.
IIRC, the 5 day max. limit of PT days is in Robert's book. I have posted about it off and on here for a long time. Does anyone remember. But, Sue, if she couldn't understand why he wasn't trained in 5 days, that is something you patiently work on. A normal mother would. Not drag them by the hair of their 2 year old head and throw them into their crib because they have an accident, scream they are not dogs! Then beat them into the crib and then run down to sit on your computer and enter the abuse on your "Mommy Journals".

I wonder what that "one more birthday surprise" is. Trip? Uncle Steve's moving in? More pets? Mommy's gonna be on CA? Hmmmm...

**********************
It sounds like it's a matter of interpretation. She didn't understand that they were not potty-trained in five days, didn't make it a mandatory five days. She thought that they SHOULD be and was annoyed when they weren't.

Sorry to hear that, Ingrid. I understand there are some moms, like you, who do have to carry the full load because the sad truth is there are those fathers out there who just walk out their kids' lives. Unlike those sheep, I just don't believe that Jon is one of them.
IMO if anyone doesn't deserve to have an extra day set aside to honor them, it's Kate. She's already an over-pampered brat. Just because somebody decided their lovely parents deserved a special day to honor them, it does not behoove everyone to follow suit. Hallmark won't suffer at all.
Ha ha ha ha. Article about summer specials and shows.
Kate Plus 8: Sextuplets Turn 10” (TLC at 9). The six younger Gosselin children are turning 10 and their mother is determined to keep them on reality television.

I suppose Barb getting some extra attention was the impetus
for Gladys mentioning her ailing mother. Has she revealed
anything about Father's Day at her house today? She has 2 kids,
doesn't she? Gosh, for someone who's always trying to look into
TFW's windows, she sure keeps curtains drawn tight.

Watch it don't watch it. No one gives a shit. And IIRC, Admin made it clear the subject is closed.
Count me as one who will not watch anything with Kate on it. I will not contribute a single bit to her viewership.

Would that even be in a two-year-old's ability to comprehend? At two years old, could a child understand if a parent said, "You have five days to learn to go on the potty?" I don't know...just asking.
I don't know how it is in getoff's area,
********
Sorry, but this made me chuckle
"Getoff's"
And what busy schedule pray tell does she have to juggle? Only one child plays a sport. She has a nanny to help (do) the bustop. And she doesnt have a job. They have a list of chores and responsibilities. They're at father's half the time. What scenarios will they have to create? Or pull out their a**?
IIRC, the 5 day max. limit of PT days is in Robert's book.
I won't argue the fact with you Lukebandit but I think you interpreted what was said about the potty training wrong. She did not give them an edict of "you will be trained in 5 days or else" which is how you make it sound. I have the book and have read the book and that's just not the way it happened but we're all free to interpret it differently.
But, Sue, if she couldn't understand why he wasn't trained in 5 days, that is something you patiently work on. A normal mother would. Not drag them by the hair of their 2 year old head and throw them into their crib because they have an accident, scream they are not dogs! Then beat them into the crib and then run down to sit on your computer and enter the abuse on your "Mommy Journals".
******************
I don't think anyone is taking issue with that. What's being questioned is if she, as you tweeted, told them that they had five days to potty train. I don't know if this is a fact or not.
OT went to the library yesterday and picked up a few books for summer reading. Any fans of author Jim Butcher around, I picked up the latest Harry Dresden book, Skin Game. Its really good, fast moving adventure of everyone s favorite Chicago based wizard for hire.
Good grief. Another man-hater pops up on Kate's Twitter, projecting her hatred on Jon. Where do these people come from?

@DdissidentT @Kateplusmy8 @TLC and yes Jon is completely in the wrong for all the affairs he had while married just like my ex. Husband
Thanks Beyond Disgusted, that's my point exactly.
OT as well. I went to the library yesterday & picked up Orange is the New Black. I haven't seen any of the shows, so have no idea if the book will convince me to join Netflix so I can watch them.
I hope Breaking Bad really does have a chance at returning, but I wonder if Bryan Cranston isn't just toying with us. Just Call Saul sounds promising & apparently some of the BB cast may appear.
