TLC posted the following press release on their site:
You watched Kate Gosselin plan the sextuplets' 10th birthday bash in June (and have an epic meltdown) and now you can follow your favorite oversized family on their summer vacation and into the new school year. "Kate Plus Eight" will return to TLC in December with all-new episodes! This time around, Kate and her eight growing kids will travel to Boston and explore different parts of New England on a family vacation.
You'll also see the kids rounding out the final days of summer with fun activities, while Kate preps the household for another school year. Teenagers Cara and Mady start 8th grade, and the sextuplets you know and love -- Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel -- are beginning 4th grade. We can't wait to see the kids prepare for pencils, books and maybe even teachers' dirty looks, while balancing their time between friends and siblings. And you can be we'll see more classic Kate moments and funny banter from the outspoken kids.

So she does NO alone time with them at all during the school week except driving them to school. She doesn't even help them with their homework.

Lex: & ur the most active 1
U take care of 8 children, mommy! #❤️
******************************************
Okay, let's assume Alexis did say this...just for the sake of argument because I don't believe she did.
Why tweet it? What compels a person to publicly announce such self-serving inanities? I just don't see the point other than to prove to others that your kid thinks you're awesome.
And if you need to prove to others that your kid thinks you're awesome then it seems to me that you care more about what strangers think your kid thinks than what your kid actually thinks.
For the record, it's NORMAL for kids to love their parents and even idolize them (enjoy it now because it's usually gone by early to mid teens).
What's not normal is a parent that has a compulsive need to announce to the masses every little compliment or conversation with their child(ren) that makes them look good.
Give it up Kate. The Supermom ship sailed years ago and it's not coming back. How about just trying to enjoy your children while they're still young and stop clawing at the remnants of your pseudo celebrity.
Good catch, Kate is a Twit. Of course she has help- of many kinds. She's such a liar and phony.
As for Mary Ingalls, I had read that, too, about not having scarlet fever but a form of meningitis and possibly also suffered a stroke from it.. I also read Pa was not the kindly man portrayed in the series at all times. He apparently was a good man but had a very bad temper and used a lot of corporal punishment which was usual for the day, but was too severe to allow LIW to have her first memoirs published. Her daughter Rose Wilder Lane helped her abridge her journals to make Pa a more virtuous soul and to change names and details for publication purposes.
Kate, busted again. That was a Kate tweet. I'm sure Lexes isn't excited to me a mom with all she does to help out with her siblings. Why use active" not ,loving, caring etc. Kate is an emotionally empty woman. IMO
I wonder if Kate thought that her Stir posts were swiffered just like her CC posts were, because she tweets or says things now that contradict what she has posted elsewhere.
Or she hopes that her fans have short-term memory and forget what she has said in the past.
No cleaning lady (supposedly) but what about all the work expected of the nanny/sitter?
I'm wondering where lukebandit is these days. Hope she's doing well.

Oh my. Please tell me you take them to a shelter. Please get a cat trap from your local shelter and catch that momma cat. She needs to be spayed immediately.
&&&
They're completely wild and can't be caught. I'm lucky if I see them once or twice a week and it's always from 30 feet away.
I called the humane society years ago. They told me if I brought the kittens in, there was a good chance they'd be put down.
********************
They are not too wild to be caught. That is the purpose of humane trapping. Please Google TNR (Trap Neuter Return) and get them fixed. In the Los Angeles area, Stray Cat Alliance will loan traps and teach people how to use them, and there are free resources to get feral cats fixed.
"For the record, it's NORMAL for kids to love their parents and even idolize them (enjoy it now because it's usually gone by early to mid teens)."
**************************
I meant the idolizing part. Kids, even abused and estranged from their parents, generally always love their parents.
It's like it's not enough for Kate that her kids love her. Seems like they have to worship her, be eternally grateful and over the top appreciative of everything she does for them.
Boy, is she going to the wind knocked out of her sails in a few years when she's got 8 teenagers. If people have trouble swallowing some of the things she claims her 10 year olds are saying, imagine what it'll be like in just a couple of years.
Can you imagine what those kids will think when they are old enough to understand that they were exploited and can see some of the bullshit she publicly spewed about them.
I remember an incident when I was about 12 and I got caught stealing from our local K-Mart. I was ashamed and embarrassed as it was and that was enough to keep me from ever doing it again.
However, I was absolutely mortified when I overheard my mother on the phone telling someone (I'm still not sure who though most likely my aunt) all about it.
Even worse was the slant my mother put on it. It was all about how upset SHE was. How SHE didn't know what SHE was going to do with me.
Even then I realized my mother didn't really care about why I felt the need to steal. She never was concerned about how the experience had affected me. It was all about HER.
That was a private conversation with one person and I still wanted to crawl into a hole and die. I can not imagine if my mother had a blog or twitter and felt the need to share it with the public at large.
Globegate sadly comes to mind.
I couldn't figure out why they went so quick from Mass to Maine. There are so many nice vacation spots in MA, RI, NY, even NJ. But they drove farther north. Bingo. They had to shop in person. That shop has a lot of tourist traffic. I wonder if they shut it down in the middle of the day or if the kids were trying on shorts at midnight.

Were they photographed at LL Bean? Did someone tweet a picture of them shopping for school clothing at the store?

Stockerish? She can't sleep because someone on Twitter said that Gosselins aren't cute anymore? Oh, my. This one really does need to get out of Kansas for awhile!
Blowing (#27), I think the idea came from the previous page,
(Jeanne, maybe?) speculating the matchy-matchy backpacks
were from L.L. Bean. I think we have a fairly good track record
when it comes to picking up on clues and connecting dots!
I think the grifting from and vist to LL Bean is pure speculation. I do believe the poster saiditnwas her "theory" and didnt state it as fact.
Sue

&&&
Very telling isn't it? It's because Kate can only quantify parenthood in terms of the hamster wheel. If you're not running around like crazy on that hamster wheel then you can't possibly understand how hard she has it or be as good of a mother.
Except sometimes motherhood means getting off that stupid wheel, stop worrying what everybody else is thinking and hopping on twitter to prove yourself, and just be there for your kids EMOTIONALLY.
And yes, the two that I sheltered and adopted are doing really well. 145
Thanks for the update on the rescued kitties. Glad it worked out.
Kate is a twit said...(22)
"Or she hopes that her fans have short-term memory and forget what she has said in the past."
*******************************************
My guess is is that it's Kate who has the short-term memory and doesn't remember what she's said in the past.
Kate lives a script she makes up in her head as she goes along. I don't think she's lived an authentic moment since the day she started marketing those tups while they were still in her womb.
Those kids were created to be a means to an end. That end being Kate never having to work a real job again. And you know, I wouldn't give a rat's ass if she wasn't exploiting them to meet that end.
She had every opportunity to build an empire around being a Mom of two sets of multiples without actually using them. The first two specials brought about all kinds of sponsorship deals that only required her to be honest, personable and hard working.
She could have been a consultant, a spokesperson or a mentor to other families with multiples.
But Kate didn't want any of that. She wanted money, fame and adulation just for giving birth twice. She constantly takes credit for work she doesn't do.
She wanted a free ride and thought she'd get it by manufacturing multiples. The sad part is that worked long enough for her to get used to the idea.
But the ride is over and she's still at it, creating these twittersodes to try and keep it going. I'd be sad for her if she wasn't dragging 8 kids along with her. They're the ones the deserve the empathy.

&&&
Exactly. She makes things up to suit the situation.
Somebody was calling her out on having hired help (not that there is anything wrong with that in and of itself) and so she quickly made up some lie about how she's been doing it all herself for two years. Completely forgetting she's already admitted a housekeeper and the kids did it all.
She just thinks in the moment and doesn't keep track of her own lies and truths, and she's so arrogant she thinks nobody will fact check what she says, since she almost always gets away with her lies.
Actually I forgot to deduct the Tuesday night dinners Jon has with the kids. And every other Friday for his weekends.
So on a school week where she only has the kids three evenings, that's a baby-sitter for a whopping four hours a day. From off the bus to into bed.
So much for Milo crowing about how Kate does it all. Wasn't that just a couple weeks ago she was arguing with somebody about Kate being the full time parent?
Actually, Mary Poppins is the only one working full time here.
Sheri, I've enjoyed reading your comments, and appreciate your
sharing (#26) what happened to you as a child. It's sad that your
behavior was probably a cry for help, but your mother managed to
make it all about her -- only compounding your suffering. You
wound up self parenting, which is unfortunately the route some
of the G kids may have to go.
TFW did have the world on a string a few short years ago, didn't she?
And could have keep it going with minimal, or zero, use of the kids.
But she blew it all by her lonesome. If she seriously wanted to
analyze her "they didn't know how to help us" theory, she can
find the worst offender in the mirror.

Kate Is A Twit (#11), great detective work! Please ask Auntie Ann if she'll fashion you a Sherlock Holmes hat out of construction paper. Or at least apply some glitter glue to the handle of your magnifying glass.

KIAT is also going to get the Gold Glitter Detective Badge just as soon as I'm finished putting the finishing touches on Kate's Fib File. It's a personalized Xmas gift for the grifter. The girl needs to organize her lies so she stops getting busted so often.
Seriously though, I often wonder if these so-called babysitters, nannies, or housekeepers are not court-mandated? Maybe Jon did ask the judge for a psyche evaluation of TFW and the result was that she is obliged to accept help. Kate would never admit to it or tell anyone that is why there is another adult around, so of course she'd say they are her 'hired help'.
That's the problem with lies. As hard as it is to remember things that DID happen, it's almost impossible to keep track of things that DIDN'T happen.
(Gee, I feel like I should stitch that onto a sampler or a pillow or something.) LOL
PJ
When you tell the truth you can remember everything you've said. When you lie, you forget what you said.
WOS is a LIAR.
--------
As far as her spending time with the kiddos, if she is an abuser (which she is), the kids are better off WITH a babysitter.
-------
And what happened to Robert? He hasn't uttered a peep (and neither have internet rags) about the book since TLC started filming again.
jcb
To clarify, I am well aware that there are lots of quick and easy recipes. Does anyone advertise them as dumping though?
"Following her departure, I made a mental note to get busy looking for a replacement, as soon as time allowed."
LOL. She had to make a mental note so she wouldn't forget to hire a new housekeeper! Like she could forget that someone used to come to her house weekly to clean?
"Gee... Honestly... I just don't understand it... This house used to be nice and clean all the time. And now... Honestly... I don't know... It just doesn't fell fresh anymore. And I just can't put my finger on the reason why exactly. And I have this weird feeling I'm forgetting something. Honestly. "
Kate is the busybody who puts a lot effort into looking busy. I worked with one of those in my first office job. There were 4 of us who shared a large office, and the resident busybody (who was doing the same job we were), was so over the top. She would type very loudly on her keyboard, make a big show out of shuffling papers, punch the numbers on the phone with such force, that I'm surprised it didn't break.
She didn't get anymore done than the rest of us, but made it seem like she was so swamped. She would always state what a busy day she had, as she dramatically (and loudly), put her coat on and grabbed her purse, and practically speed walked down the hall at the end of the day.
Most annoying person to work with, hands down!

**********************************************
And let's not forget the years of being surrounded by Yes men.
Kate could say what she wanted and people might roll their eyes but no one's going to call her on it. There was money to be made and her circumstances and personality were bank.
She had glowing articles written about her in People in response to an unfavourable post on ROL. She had numerous t.v. interviews to "set the record straight" only to be caught with an earpiece that was feeding her lines.
I really would feel sorry for her if it weren't for the fact that she refuses to end it and stop exploiting her children.
AHHH. So smart. So she grifted LL Bean on this film trip. Perfect sense.
Sheri, great caption...
Why is it never explored how she plotted, manipulated her last batch?
I would never say she "gave birth"...they were taken from her, set up for a life of cruel and unusual punishment.
LOL. She had to make a mental note so she wouldn't forget to hire a new housekeeper! Like she could forget that someone used to come to her house weekly to clean?
************************
There is no way on God's green earth that she scrubbed all those bathrooms by herself for two years. Can you picture Kate on her hands and knees cleaning a bathtub and toilet? Can you see Kate washing all of those windows by herself? Can you see Kate dry mopping the hardwood floors and deep cleaning every nook and cranny in that house for two years without any help? Sheesh -- how stupid does she think her sheep are that they would believe this? Oh, wait...they are sheep.
I'm going to modify my previous comment; I think it could be misconstrued by those who have c-sections, and that is not my aim, at all. She spawned.
So on a school week where she only has the kids three evenings, that's a baby-sitter for a whopping four hours a day. From off the bus to into bed.
*************
Why in the world does she need a sitter at all? These kids are ten year old, for heaven's sakes! TEN! They get off the bus, go home, unwind, get ready for dinner, do homework and go to bed! What's to "babysit?"
She could have been a consultant, a spokesperson or a mentor to other families with multiples.
**************
That would mean having to actually do some work, planning, and execution. She never could have done that. She is much too lazy. She can't even keep up her own website.
Franky,
Thanks for the line to the Lennox and Maisey video. Her is a view of their interview on the view:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_sxIH-Epy4
What a contrast to the G-twins. The girls, who are 13 and 9, came on ALONE (no parent in sight), gave an excellent interview, were natural and engaging, and performed live for the studio audience.
She had every opportunity to build an empire around being a Mom of two sets of multiples without actually using them. The first two specials brought about all kinds of sponsorship deals that only required her to be honest, personable and hard working.

********
The think is, Kate had all of those opportunities at one time, just as the show Jon and Kate plus 8, began its meteoric rise.
Note, I didn't say Kate's meteoric rise. That came when Kate became a tabloid staple and full-on fame whore.
And people knew it.
People saw the difference between the softer-spoken haus frau and Kate the fame hungry, Barbie doll wanna be, man hating, spotlight seeking, ill mannered, ungrateful monster of a mother who would go to any length to keep herself in the spotlight.
Kate had huge endorsement deals and spokesperson deals, including P+G, Kraft, Healthtex for Walmart, K Mart, and a bagged lunch for school program, just off the top of my head.
Every single one dried up.
What does that tell you?
Why in the world does she need a sitter at all? These kids are ten year old, for heaven's sakes! TEN! They get off the bus, go home, unwind, get ready for dinner, do homework and go to bed! What's to "babysit?"
&&&
Nobody is being babysat. She wants someone else to do the grunt work of children. A babysitter watches kids so they don't die when you leave the house. A nanny is a surrogate parent who largely steps in the shoes of mom and dad.
That's why this person is a NANNY not a babysitter. I nannied for 10 year olds. I drove them to school and all their activities, I kept track of all their homework, helped them with it, and ensured all their educational needs were met and more. I communicated with other parents and coaches to arrange whatever needed arranging. If it was so and so's turn to bring a snack to baseball practice, I made sure that was done. I went grocery shopping, cooked them meals and packed their lunches. If they needed new shoes, a toothbrush, their nails trimmed, I did it. I enforced their chores like making their beds and no TV. I found them their chess teacher and set up the lessons. If all the homework was done and everything was taken care of then I'd come up with fun activities to do like hiking or bike rides. I made sure showers were done and PJs on and hugs and kisses at bedtime.
The kids were not in any danger at that age, but were still too young to sort of organize their lives such that they were being productive, doing educational things, and having fun, when parents have no interest in this. That's a nanny. Just like my narcissist, Kate doesn't want to do all that. All that is a drag to her. Thus she hires the nanny to do it.
Her disconnect is really just astounding. Someone tweets to her that oh the nonfans think you have so much $ and lots of help. And she says I know LOL I just have a babysitter and a housecleaner. Um, that's more than a lot of working people can afford. You have those, plus free stuff from TLC, and you don't work!!! And again, who has a babysitter for 10 and 13 year olds, and for the hours that YOU are at home? How do her fans not see how wacky that is?
The reason Kate wants the kids to have a nanny is because the nanny is her spy. Remember in Robert's book how the nanny was to keep track of each child's infraction and report back to Kate when she got home.
Her disconnect is really just astounding. Someone tweets to her that oh the nonfans think you have so much $ and lots of help. And she says I know LOL I just have a babysitter and a housecleaner. Um, that's more than a lot of working people can afford.

She's an idiot, I know.
And plus the party line from the sheeple for months has been Kate has no help. So, oops!! The queen deflating the balloon on that one.
I daresay most average families could never afford a babysitter 12 hours a week. Let's give her a very low wage for 8 kids, 12 bucks an hour. She's probably commanding much more like 20-25. That's 144 bucks a week minimum, out the window. And the housekeeper has to be at least 100 probably 200 to clean that mansion once a week.
We're looking at ballpark, on the conservative side, 350 bucks a week for "just" having a nanny and housekeeper. I'm betting it's more like 500. Yeah Kate. So relatable.

Can I ask something? Where's the public outrage towards TLC for giving Kate Gosselin a new show?
Paula Deen says something racist and Food Network is besieged with complaints and calls for the show to be canceled.
Phil Robertson says something against gay marriage and A&E is besieged with complaints and calls for the show to be canceled.
They were/are considered outrageous and not fit for public consumption because of things they said, not did, said. Words.

The Silence is Appalling- as has been stated by many of us here, we think the specials (not a new show) are probably part of her original contract or her severance contract. TLC may have waited out her diva demands and and she's so desperate to be back on the air that she accepted what they offered. If the $40K per episode is true that's quite a bit less than she probably thinks she worth. People have talked around the child abuse allegations but never confronted them head on. I don't know why but you can be sure that because of the allegations and her diva attitude she's probably persona non grata to many in the entertainment business which is why she has had no offers to do anything.

I'm not disagreeing, but TLC did not need to exercise this option (licentious indeed) and it doesn't speak to the lack of public airing of her admitted abuse and the lack of public outrage. I also don't get it.

This is an excellent primer on the difference between babysitters and nannies.
Kate doesn't call a neighbor kid to come in and sit with her kids for a couple hours here and there while she goes out on a date or the like.
When we had sitters to stay with us while Mom and Dad went out for the occasional social thing or dinner, the sitter pretty much made sure we went to bed on time and generally didn't set the house on fire.
Kate's nannies "mother" her children.
Big difference.
Huge.

...and lawn service (mowing, trimming, edging, mulching, thatching, aerating, planting...), and pool service.
Here's my theory; Kate had actual "staff" for some time- when the show was in high gear, TLC paid for an organic chef and complete maintenance of the house, which is to say, the filming set.
Kate did have full time nannies, house cleaning, cooks, assistants to do errands of all kinds.
Sure, that's scaled down now, so Kate wants to sell this "I have almost no help" bull crap because she's got a lot less, but still a lot compared to most people.
She does not and has not ever done everything.

I could be this, or the fact that TLC's MO has been to cancel these family series, but bring back the show for specials.
I'm not surprised that TLC made this move. It's what they do.
I expect more specials over the next few years, until the kids are 18.

I think Mariah and Nick's divorce and child custody case will remind me a whole lot Kate.
Nick is successful, but Mariah is a true DIVA.
Mariah has the money,the fame and the 'pull".
She has powerful people.
I think Nick is in for the fight of his life, and like Jon, will need to fight tooth and nail to be a father to his twins so that they have some semblance of normalcy and real love in their lives.
She does not and has not ever done everything. 69
Although I only posted an excerpt of your comment, I agree with it in its entirety.
She suckered a network into subsidizing the lifestyle that she aspired to. Said network - the licentious channel - made big bucks and catered to her every whim, enhancing and enabling her inner monster.
I wonder if Nick will lose his job on America's Got Talent? Then you'll know that the higher-ups are pulling strings.
PJ
I think Nick is pretty well established on AGT and he's part of the moneymaking machine along with the judges. He was (is?) the chairman of Teen Nick (nickelodeon network) and has his hand in quite a few other projects. I think Mariah may have just gotten a little jealous of his popularity. I heard him do an interview with Howard Stern and was quite surprised to hear how many irons he's got in the fire. Nick may have just as much pull as she does.
What I wonder about is if Kate knows that she makes herself the center of everything she tweets. Has anyone (tweeters she doesn't have blocked) ever called her attention to it? I just would like to know if this is a narcissist's MO, and if she really just can't help herself. Could her self-esteem and insecurity really be this bad?
Here is a woman who physically abused her children. She wrote about it! TLC gives her a new show and not a word is said. Where is the public outrage?
------
We know this, but in the examples cited, these indiscretions were admitted and acknowledged
The general public, I would suspect, really isn't tuned in to what has happened in the Gosselin saga, and they really don't care. It's a case of he said, she said, and Robert's book has never been taken as gospel by the general public who even knows about it. I think that the general public is taking it with a grain of salt, not really knowing what to believe and if these allegations are true. After all, here is a woman who was high in popularity, established herself as the Mother to end all Mothers...the woman who has cared for her children through a bitter divorce and is now supporting them on her own. He is seen as the cheating, dead beat dad who pays no child support.
The physical abuse has never been proven, and the credibility of his published book is in question. At least, that's all I can figure out as to why there is no outrage.
the sitter pretty much made sure we went to bed on time and generally didn't set the house on fire.

That's good to know. Nothing worse than a sitter who sets an occasional house fire! :)

So what are the silly sheeple saying about Kate's admission that she has some help? Pretending she didn't say it, or deflecting and trying to reconcile her lies by tweeting that she never said she didn't have any help?
Lauren @ljohnson2006 · 22h
Yeah @Kateplusmy8 has someone coking her meals and cleaning her house. People will believe anything. Kate does everything 4 kids herself
Ah, Lauren. How about eating crow? Not exactly what the sheeple had on their menu for a Labor Day picnic?
The Silence is Appalling.....58 has touched on the crux of all that is Kate Gosselin, HOW does she manage to wangle yet another opportunity to exploit her children and get rewarded for it? The Teflon Factor remains alive and well. What I do think has changed is the interviewing opportunities from the major networks. TheTODAY show interview with the twins may have finished her in that regard. I also think TFW knows questions about the "book" cannot be avoided and she no longer has the veto power. And besides, got her show back, so, mission accomplished! TFW is still alive, but TLC seems to be her lifeline now, I don't think anyone else wants any part of her anymore. Robert's book may be being ignored by TLC but other opportunities may have dried up without us knowing the power his book is quietly having.

I think that "vile" is being kind. That one has more than just a few screws loose,is obsessed with slammng overweight people, makes disgusting remarks about the Gosselin children -- clearly so full of anger and hate that she (or he) has to zero in on a non-fan just to satisfy some unhealthy urge to berate another person.
I understand where Luke is coming from if she closed her account, but in that case, I just would have ignored. People, like the vile tweeter, do that for attention and if they don't get it, they have no audience and move on to something else.
It's appalling - the reality tv has gone to hell in a hand basket. You can allegedly murder your child ( casey anthony getting a reality show AND pregnant with twins? Along with kate gosselin returning post book from Robert and writing in her own words she ABUSES her kids. This media frenzy for reality tv and promoting abuse & murder of children YET in the same breathe can't understand why Americas youth is lazy and unmotivated. This garbage MUST BE BOYCOTTED in the sponsors pocketbook . I find it appalling that you may see pamper commercials during these shows. Something as innocent as bringing a baby into this world has turned dark & ugly when you mention the above names.kate gosselin & casey anthony. Both proficient liars.both Baby abusers. Both should NEVER be on tv. EVER

Hey, Milo...what about one of Kate's biggest fans who was the number one suspect in setting up a fake Cara account on Tumblr? Is that okay with you?
I would like to clarify on my prior post. NO children should be on reality tv PERIOD. You are filming a family and essentially altering the natural progression that a family would progress. Our intelligence is insulted if you truly believe kids aren't pawns for the appetite ADULTS. what a sick concept. WHY do adults need to look at children living their life on a 46 inch screen? Get a life - your lacking SOMETHING if you find yourself tweeting a woman who gives you your drug via a remote control. Kate in particular does pimp her children, she is NOTHING without them, there's your clue.
I also hope lukebandit is okay. It seems that one of the haters discovered her supposed real name and location and her blog and tweeted it. That may be why she's no longer posting. I'll never understand why there's this need to out people.

Milo - You are a dope.
Thank you to all the kind words about my bird. Her buddy is kind of lonely now. I will wait to get another Cocktiel. In 2 weeks there is a bird show, so I will have another look, and see if one gets my attention. I think I will get another male, my birds are in separate cages, this way I will not have to worry about eggs & re-productive issues. I brought him into the living room to watch TV with me, he chatter, through Doctor Who, he must like that show.
Kate is a laugh a minute. Chicken on a spit, what a concept. How come Kate is cooking so late? I thought she stated to the hired help, everything stops at 9pm, and doesn't matter what your doing. According to her TL, that tweet was 2 hrs ago. What a BS er.
As for Kates fans: another laugh a minute. They remind me of the E-ensurance commercials, totally clueless people. I see that Macey is desperate for Kate to acknowledge her, Kate is ignoring her. I don't think some of Kates fans play with a full deck, or is this just an act.
Kate roasted a chicken? What's next...will she part the Red Sea? Glory be! The heavens and the earth will open up, and Milo and the minions will bow down in reverence.
Better make sure everyone has that chicken recipe first, though...

I don't follow Nick Cannon or Mariah Carey, but I do remember seeing Nick Cannon a lot on Teen Nick when my son was younger. What I think of him from a disinterested point of view is that he seems like a hard working young man who is one of the few that successfully transitioned from being a cute youngster to a successful adult tv personality. Emphasis once again on the hard-working part of it.
Mariah may still be a bigger "star" than him, but she's got a reputation as being hard to work with, temperamental, and sadly for her, has had some psychological issues in the past.
Of the two, I would bet that Nick Cannon will continue to do well in his own career, while Mariah may slowly fade away. When was the last time she had a hit song?
She cooked a chicken? Wow. I guess my mother was a pioneer. Where is Guiness when you need them to record accomplishments?
So when are the sheeple going to admit that it's pretty f'd up that a cookbook author has never roasted chicken?

Yes, totally creepy!
Anyone remember the time Kate said she was taking a bath, and Milo asked for more details ... Can't remember if she asked about candles, but she did ask if Kate were drinking wine in the tub! That was one where Milo really gave her girl-crush fantasies away. It was around the time she mentioned something about Kate's smoking hot body and her legs. Milo has toned it down since then--maybe she realized she was being too obvious.
I just want to add my hope that Luke will come back. I love her comments. And KIAT, I'm very sorry about your little bird.
O T: suggestion for new topic. Joan Rivers, the 2010 documentary about her is excellent. Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work. This would be good for discussion.
another discussion topic: Dancing With The Stars is back for another season in September. Discuss!
People still get scarlet fever today. I got it in college. It happens when the strep bacteria go systemic. I never had strep before so it was a shock when the doctor said I had scarlet fever. Luckily, we live in a day and age of antibiotics.
Sooooo....how many people did she cook for? That's one little chicken she roasted....

This is when I kinda...sorta....feel sorry for her. The kids or most of them are probably at Jon's, if the twins are home they're probably with their friends because they're almost 14 now and don't care to please mommy anymore. And there she is, rotating a chicken.
I've always quite liked Nick Cannon. I am not at all surprised this marriage didn't last. He's also been ailing recently, and I wonder if somebody like Mariah could really hack that.
I really enjoyed one of his older films Drumline.
Luke went OT lots. Her Blogger name went right to her identity. I am surprised she was outed long ago. Seems like we knew all about her anyway. I think people tend to go after the one's who are so honest about their life. I think she definitely overshared her personal life but I liked her on topic posts.
There is no way I would share my medical, divorce, long ago stories with identifying info. Everyone should be very careful.
Juri
still here, but different sign in, thank you, you are all so dear.
Kate's saying she'll never buy a rotisserie chicken again is just like her saying Bald Head Island and dozens of other things are a "tradition".
Not going to happen.
Here's a clue, Kate: you can get very good rotisserie chickens for $5 at supermarkets and best one of all, Costco. So while it's novel to go through the effort of hooking up a chicken on a spit, it's a lot of work, and more expensive, than buying one in the store.
That, and you can't feed 9 people with one chicken. Not including 8 growing kids, with 3 boys!
If Kate had any smarts, she'd clue in to "beer can chicken" and do upright roasting on the grill (or oven), where you can easily do more than 1 chicken at a time.
Results are just as good, if not better.
Again, this woman wrote a cookbook?
"Rotating a chicken" - good one, Admin!
Maybe "Rotating a Chicken" will be the 2014 version of "Cats in
the Cradle" - a song about a narcissistic mother who unashamedly markets her kids for profit, with no thought to how this violation
of their privacy has broken the sanctity of the parent/child bond.
A decade later, the glitz and glamour ends, and she finds herself
alone on a Saturday night cooking poultry. Desperate for attention,
she photographs said poultry and posts the picture, hoping her
equally-planless supporters will ooh and aah over this culinary
masterpiece, and will give her her narcissistic fix, if only for a
few fleeting moments...

I loved Drumline. It's one of those movies that sucks me in when I see it on tv.
Nick seems like a nice, normal guy. I would have never put him together with Mariah.
I can't imagine living with someone who can't be "normal" in public, and has to wear lingerie for tv interviews.
It's just so... bizarre.
Well what a wonderful thing to wake up to. TFW cooked a rotisserie chicken, amazing. Milo and the sheep will have something to talk about all day. Maybe it was chicken for two this weekend, maybe Skeevio helped her set up the gadget. So much to ponder. I certainly hope she was not serving that chicken to 9 people tho. After her long hard 3 day school week, how did she ever find the strength? I can barely make coffee this morning, holiday weekend and all that. Thank goodness she has Twitter so she can share her roasted chicken with the world. I have clearly not had enough coffee.

"

So glad to hear from you. I read Kate's twitter sometimes, and have never seen anything bad about you there? No one here cares about your real name, or where you live, so even if it was on there, people here would just ignore it I am sure. Who cares what some creep on twitter has to say? Your "family" is here.
Rotate a chicken! Bwahaha! Funny, Admin!
If you don't want to use a can of beer, you can use a can drink of apple juice. She could grill 5 chickens about 4 lbs. each and have plenty to eat for supper, next day for sandwiches, make a batch of chicken salad, shred the rest and freeze for chicken tacos, for chicken in chicken pot pies, chicken soup, chicken nachos.
A couple of weeks ago whole chickens were on sale for 1.09 cents a pound. 5 x 4 equals 20 lbs. of chicken. For 20 dollars you would pay that for a chicken salad sandwich combo and a half a pound of chicken salad to take home, if your lucky.
They make circular stands to place the canned drink on and then place the chicken upon it. Would take an hour. She could put them on then go throw a load of clothes in the washer and dryer. Then prepare island for the deboning session.
If she can "bake" 507 cookies, she can do this.
Feed your kids.
Luke Bandit = Milo? LOL...Looks like we have a new contender for "Defective Detective of the Year".
Waiting for the storm to pass - Ignore the twitidiots and continue to post.
Here's what I don't understand...
Why would Kate even tweet that picture? She knows she's going to be ridiculed on Twitter. Why would you put yourself out there to be embarrassed like that? Yes, Kate is nitpicked many times and whatever she does will be criticized by the non-fans/haters, but with something this obvious, you'd think she'd know better than to set herself up to be humiliated.
Perhaps this wasn't roasted for all nine of them. Maybe she was just making the chicken for the twins and herself, or roasting it to make a casserole dish, chicken salad, or sliced chicken for the kids' sandwiches. Who knows? It doesn't necessarily mean that because she made only one chicken that it was for all of them and the kids were going to get tiny portions.
That said, it's just so incredibly stupid to tweet a photo of a chicken on a spit and be excited about it, like it was something new and the world should sit up and take notice. What's the matter with her?
Waiting for the storm to pass..

"What am I, chopped liver?" I give up - there's no pleasing
you people!
Am I the only one who has about a thousand more questions
about that chicken? How was it seasoned? Did she marinate
it first? Was there any sort of rub involved? What sides did she
serve? DId she save the carcass to make Old Grandma Soup?
Or is that only made from the carcasses (carci?) of old grandmas?
TFW may be fielding questions for the rest of the weekend -- she
really opened up a can of worms. Wait -- I better not give her
any more ideas for canned food to "dump" (hi Dwindle!) in her
rancid recipes...
I guess Kate wasn't the only one at her house with a stick up her butt. Poor chicken.

All of your comments are a given and all of our comments here are pure snark (well maybe not all). If she's going to post a picture of the most amazing chicken ever rotated then people are going to snark especially since she claims to be such an awesome cook and even published a vanity cookbook to prove it. Note I said published and not wrote because I believe every recipe in that book was copies from a web site or from the back of boxes and cans.

Yes, the comments are snark, but the thing is that because she posted a picture of a lonely bird on a skewer doesn't mean that this was supper for nine people, although that was tweeted, and then comes the inevitable, "those children are starving" comments when, in fact, a picture of a chicken doesn't necessarily mean that this was a supper for nine people.
She's crazy for posting that picture and setting herself up for snark and criticism. But I suppose she loves it because people are talking about HER and her amazing ability to roast a chicken. I wonder, too, about the fans who say that she's just so incredibly brilliant to be able to do this. Do they really and truly believe this (are they this dumb?) or are they tweeting this just to make her feel good and get a response from her? The one sheeple tweeted, "How do I do this?" I mean, was this snark, or was she serious? If the latter is true, how do these people survive in the real world?
I'd like to see a Sue Buddy article about the chicken on the spit. I'd love to see what she does with this one!
Waving to you, Sue!
Read an article today about a wonderful program. People are getting used vinyl suitcases, cleaning them and painting the outside of them and donating them to kids in foster care to have. Many foster kids only have walmart bags or trash bags to carry their belongings in, so this is a wonderful idea!
I'll continue to buy my excellent rotisserie chickens from BJ's Wholesale Club. Or as my grandson calls them, "the good chicken".
FlimsyFlamsy, I love you, too!
If this is the first time she roasted a chicken, who cooks the turkey at Thanksgiving?
Please note - this is a rhetorical question.
OT - Roo has been eating and drinking normally. Her antibiotics go down in peanut butter or a bit of cheese.
She has not peed or pooped in 36 hours and is very sleepy today.
When I take her out she is interested in what's going on in the neighborhood and barks with her tail wagging if she sees people or other dogs. No interest in doing her business though. Anyone?
Just a bit more on Roo. I am sure she is bored. Unfortunately are needs to be leashed for the time being and I am having difficulty walking. (RA).
Roo's vet appt is tues am. Hopefully we'll get the ok for doggie day care.
Sure that chicken will feed 9. Each of 2 boys will get a wing each. One will get the neck and the girls will get the rest. Simple!
Once again, the criticism isn't because she spit-roasted a chicken. It's because she claims to be such a splendiferous cook, and then appears to be amazed by something simple which has been done a hundred times before.
Much like her other claim to fame, what a splendiferous mom she is, when in reality she is a terrible mother.
She doesn't get nit-picked for every little thing. She gets nit-picked because she claims to be a fab cook, uber organized, the world's bestest mom ever, the most beloved celebrity you ever met, a world acclaimed author, butbappears to have none of that be remotely true and is actually quite bad at all of it.

I'll second that! We got one from there last week and it was the best chicken ever. Why go to the work of roasting your own when you can have one that's already made? I used the leftovers for chicken salad with walnuts and grapes and my gosh, was that ever tasty!

Come back, Luke!
We go through a rotisserie chicken a week here, with 3 dogs, including 1 puppy in training.
I just bought a Costco chicken Friday and used one breast for chicken tortilla soup- yum!
(DH squealed with delight and gave it a 10/10)
I've made fuckityhundred roast chickens and couldn't be bothered with the spit on my gas grill, because for $5, I can run down to my Costco and pick up a juicy one any time.
Trust me, the novelty will wear off for Kate very quickly.
That is, if she actually did this herself, and I highly doubt she did.
Rhymes: That is a concern about Roo, if eating and drinking. I would phone the emergency vet. 36 hours is a long time.

Thanks for the update.
Anesthesia can slow down the contractility of the gut, and other involuntary muscles.
So, it's no wonder the bowel and bladder haven't "woken up" yet. It can take 4-5 days for a BM.
Since Roo has a good appetite and thirst, I wouldn't worry too much. You could add a handful of string beans to the diet to add fiber, but again, this is not unexpected.
Keep us in the loop!!
Looks like Jon has lost some weight.

Rhymes-
Anesthesia and pain medication can slow down peristalsis (moving food through the digestive system), but if she hasn't urinated that's a much bigger problem and she needs to be seen ASAP by vet. Additionally, most vets won't let your pet go home after surgery until they have urinated, so begin your count of hours from there.
Thanks for the feedback on Roo. It took a while for her to poop after anesthesia, but she did. Since I have gotten her, she has not pooped as regularly as my previous pups did.
She had routine bloodwork done at the time of the surgery last tues.
She is sleeping on her back, which is her normal. I have hidden her ball, which is her favorite toy because it kept going places she could not reach wearing the cone, making her increasingly frustrated.
Rhymes- I just reread your comment. If Roo has not urinated for 36 hours and is eating & drinking call the vet ASAP! Coupled with her increased sleepiness, this sounds like a possible emergency. Better to be safe than sorry. Good luck and please update us.
For those that are outraged that TLC is enabling Kate to exploit her children, I suggest the outrage be communicated to the network and any sponsors
The chicken-on-a-spit thing IS kind of funny. Now if she's said she'd run down one of her own chickens and chopped its head off with an ax on a tree stump like my gr-grandmother did, then I might actually be intrigued, lol. (Yes, she did this in front of us. So do our Amish neighbors, except they use other methods...no one gives it a second thought out here).
I have always purchased rotisserie chickens, as they are so tasty and handy to create a quick meal. But they aren't so cheap here anymore, and I also discovered that part of the reason they are so tasty is because of often adding/basting sugar solution and other things. A coworker told me she just throws a whole chicken in her crockpot - I tried it and it's so good and simple! Always tender and juicy. Yum. I still buy the rotisseries if they are on sale and I haven't planned, but often I'll now pick up a whole one ahead of time and just stick it in the crock overnight.
FYI backpacks - those appear to be Lands End packs. Noticed them in my catalogue. As for going up to Maine from Boston etc., ME is the "go-to" place for vacations right now in this region. Three of my coworkers went just this year and several last year (separately).
Once again, the criticism isn't because she spit-roasted a chicken. It's because she claims to be such a splendiferous cook, and then appears to be amazed by something simple which has been done a hundred times before.
---
Once again, I understand that, and she should be criticized for putting that photo out there. It was a stupid thing to do. What she shouldn't be criticized for is that it was a chicken for the entire family, the kids are being starved, she doesn't feed them, etc. etc. when it's not known if the chicken was for her and the twins only, or if she roasted it for sandwiches, salad, or whatever.
"If this is the first time she roasted a chicken, who cooks the turkey at Thanksgiving?"
--------
I believe she implied that it's the first time she made it on a spit outside, not that she never roasted a bird before. Of course, I could be all wet about that.
Time for a drink. What's a good accompaniment to rotisserie chicken?
Kate tweeted that she's cleaning out sock drawers. Milo is right on it...
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 22m
@Kateplusmy8 So WHO is on the list 4NEW "unmentionables"? The BOYS here R definitely rougher on those items.... :)
Unmentionables include underwear. Either Milo is a woman who has gone off the deep end, or a very sick man who has the balls to ask what kids need new unmentionables. I guess there's no shutting her/him up.
OT. I called emergency vet services. They suggested taking her out w/out the cone and if that doesn't work I will call them back.
Thanks everyone.
Since when are socks unmentionable, Milo?
That kid in the pic w/ Jon looks more like a 6 year old. Gosselin kids aren't that small.

She's posted about bra shopping. What will she do when it comes to jock straps?

I hope everything is okay. I just saw your tweet, and yes, dogs take awhile to get back in routine, but if the dog is eating and drinking, then 36 hours is too long to go without urinating. That liquid has to go somewhere, and if she's not urinating, it could back up and cause kidney problems. You want to get right on that, not let it gol

Kate says "unmentionable" in her tweet:
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 2h
A rainy Sun afternoon&what r we doing? Going thru kids sock & 'unmentionables' (as my grandma used 2 call them) drawers! #NOTFUN
However, for Milo to inquire which kids need new underwear is truly weird.
Where I come from "unmentionables" means underwear. And if
Gladys is asking questions about the underwear of minor children
to whom she is not related, then this isn't funny anymore.
A jock strap would mean the boys would be involved in sports and well....
Milo wants to know which kids need new underwear? Has she asked what bra size the twins are wearing now, too?
Good grief, she's creepy.
Oh my lord Milo - you creep! What sort of pervert asks which children wear out their "unmentionables" sooner? There is a saying - you know a person by the company they keep. Well, TFW keeps Milo on and encourages her/him/it.
Milo has gone off the "ick" chart beyond what I expected.
I just bought a Costco chicken Friday and used one breast for chicken tortilla soup- yum!

Sounds sooo good. I'd love the recipe if you find time to post it.
Hi LukeBandit - I think as long as you stay away from Twitter, you will be fine. The best thing to do is ignore the people who are trying to ruin your day. As I've said before, I don't read twitter and am not on twitter. It's a decision I have never regretted. And I also never registered here - but simply just use the same "name" when I post. I have never been bothered (or perhaps even noticed) by the wackos.
I'm glad you shared your experience, as it's a good lesson for all of us.

Kate will never need to post about jock straps because they boys aren't allowed to participate in anything that would require them.

++++++++++++++++
Exactly. Unmentionables means underwear. I never heard socks included in unmentionables. Gladys has crossed the line this time in her very creepy questions as to whom needs new ones. She makes my skin crawl. If I were Kate, I would TOTALLY ignore her, or in their many ways of communicatin, I'd tell her to knock it off. Of course then Kate would have to hide the bunny (or Zorro).
She's posted about bra shopping. What will she do when it comes to jock straps?
+++++++++++
Gladys will ask her which boys go through jock straps the fastest and if they wear them for PE or just for swimming.
Kate will never need to post about jock straps because they boys aren't allowed to participate in anything that would require them.
++++++++++++++++
They are required for PE at school. Kate has no say in the matter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are right, it is not funny anymore. What will she not say on twitter? She has said it all now. And why would kate tweet she is cleaning out their unmentionables, that is what her grandmother called it. All of a sudden, are you feeling nostalgic about family?
This is so cruel to do this to those kids and when they are going back to school and have to hear this and probably still hear the infamous "pooped in her unerwears".
I said it before --- I think it would be awesome to see Jon slim down at the same time we see Rat Claws gain weight. The last pic I saw of Rat Claws, he was about ready for a C-cup bra, and perhaps a pair of spanx.
+++++++++++++
lol! Maybe it's just that he eats too much pizza and no salad!
By the way, I recently saw Jon and he looks great.
Has anyone taken Gladys to task about her uber-creepy question?
I'm sure the response to a non-fan would just be the usual deflection: "Happily married female here, nothing 2 worry about - YOU'RE the
one with sick mind! #WEIRD" But maybe one of the more balanced
fans like Patricia might say something to her about it - perhaps via
DM. This is way past asking what's for dinner, or even the odd
inquiry about the different kids' dispositions. She crossed a line.

Yepper. Kate tweeted that she's going through kids socks and unmentionables drawers, not that the socks were the unmentionables. Those include underwear and bras. Milo didn't misunderstand. She knew darn well she was asking WHO needed new unmentionables. That's about as creepy as she's ever been. Of course there was the time when she was asking about Kate's bubble bath.

@Kateplusmy8 Hope your having a great day #socksorting Lol. Got any big plans for Labor Day? Oh wait you labored today #cleaningdraws 😄
Waiting for the storm to pass, I'm glad that you are ok and hope that you take as much time as needed to allow the trolls to lose interest and find a new target which they will inevitably do. I don't understand the need these sub-humans have to harass strangers online. They are truly sick.
In the picture of Jon, it does not appear that he is with that small child that is standing away from him. He is at a soccer game, so maybe one of the kids or one of Liz's kids plays soccer or he is just there to enjoy a game.
Glad our "blog posting sister" checked in and that she is OK.
Waiting for storm to pass, glad to hear from you!
Attention spans of twidiots are on the shorter side. And i'm not on twitter anyway. Any important tweets get published in that peer reviewed journal People!

Get off twitter Kate. You're a very sick woman. And ditch that Milo creep. Both of you seriously need therapy.
thank you for the weather report support, sisters!
Someone should ask Gladys if her son needs a new jockstrap and her daughter needs a new bra, what kind she wears -- underwires, soft natural cup, and what size.
She is such a creeper. I don't care if she's harmless or not, she's still nuts.
This is to lukebandit. I checked out your blog once - I think from a link at gwop. In any event it was a long time ago. I don't remember anything that would be even remotely "scandalous" and did not get a clue to where you live.( of course, I don't care and I mean that in the best way).
There are some sick people on some blogs (thanks for moderating Admin) and even more on twitter that appear to.gain power by outing people.They also get off on freaking people out. Shutting down your twitter acct was the right thing to do.
Hang tough. "This too shall pass."
If JON had ever tweeted something about his children's underwear, Kravitz would have gone off he-r nut with outrage and Kate would be ready to sue.
Enough already. Those kids have had their privacy invaded past any sense of decency far too many times. Kate is a horrible mother. She's nothing but a famewhore willing to sell out her kids at any cost. She makes me physically ill.

Hello everyone! Been busy here, in the beginning stages of wedding planning for DS#2 and his fiancé. He will be my first child to get married, and we are all so excited.
I just have to say that Milo asking which children need new "unmentionables" is beyond creepy. And it was creepy for Kate to mention such a thing in the first place. She can talk about cleaning out drawers without going into detail about what is in those drawers. Was she deliberately trying to embarrass the kids? What kind of mother tells the twitter world such a thing? She is so desperate for attention and validation that she will throw every little detail of their lives out there in the hopes of getting some response, won't she? There is no reason anyone out there needs to know anything about the children's' "unmentionables". And of course, creepy Milo was all over it, wanting details. Ick.
I saw the picture of Jon. He looks younger and he has lost weight. So funny that Steve has gained and looks washed up. Maybe he is paying for throwing Mady under the RV at pizzagate. Shameful.
You know the old saying, living well is the best revenge.
Living well is the best revenge. (Jon)
Living in hell is the best vengeance. (kate and Steve)
Too update. The 45 mins out of the collar yielded a happy Roo who did no business. Got an 8 pm appt w/the emergency vet.
Got out of the car and she peed. Signing in in the waiting room she had a massive bm. Vet's office allowed us to cancel at no cost. Peed some more on our way back to the car. Back to affectionate self. Currently asleep in ON my feet.
Thanks everyone.
Living well is the best revenge. (Jon) 197
Speaking of karma.....
I agree with whoever said that Katie "upgraded" her looks as an f u to Jon.
But it's Jon who has moved on with his life.
I get the sense that the only reason he thinks about Katie at all is with respect to his children. I don't think he cares what she does or looks like otherwise.
Rhymes, that is great news, even if you had a couple of messes to clean up! Our vet calls it "Code Yellow" and they are quite used to calling it and cleaning it. If we say we'll clean it (because we are embarrassed, they laugh and refuse. Sounds you like had Code Brown! But again, they are used to it.
I wonder if a flock of the Sheeps were institutionalized in the same mental health building and ingested vast quantities of lead paint chips whilst licking around windows. They really should get together and work towards a lawsuit and stop using up their limited brain function defending the Queen of Mean. ;-)
My boxer boy is back to fighting fit. His vet thinks his electrolytes might have been off on Friday. We've had weird weather here plus a week ago we had a cloud of copper hydroxide fertilizer cover our lawn because the farmer thought it was A Okay to spray the fields with the wind cranking 20 mph in our direction. That could have played a part as well, though I got myself and the dogs in the house once I saw it coming for us. Although this twice a week spraying has been going on for two months but not always with the wind about 5 m.p.h.. My state has some of the worst pesticide laws and I found out the no drift chemical they added causes cancer. I've been down a rabbit hole of chemistry for two weeks and it's caused a lot of sleepless nights, major upset and concern. If anyone on here lives next to agricultural fields, I strongly suggest checking out the anti pesticide sites, I particularly like Beyond Pesticides. It was a huge eye opener for me. Especially the new regulations regarding the precise identifying of the inert ingredients and the EPA's reluctance to push that law through.
Since boxer boy still refuses to play nice with Rudy I've applied to a no kill shelter to adopt a gorgeous lab/old english sheepdog mix girl pup. Hopefully we'll hear back from them this week. I am a little concerned about what type of coat she'll have. I'm guessing we could end up with just about anything from no laborious grooming (yays!) to twice monthly professional grooming appointments.
Luke Bandit, if you pulled the plug on the Twitter and are laying low for now, I think you've done the right thing. It's never worth the agony that those shovel heads can put you and your family through. I'm sending good thoughts your way and hope all is well.
I've tried to post this comment three times on my ipad with the zagg keyboard and it freezes halfway through and won't let me go back and proofread. I guess it might be time to pull out the manual. I hope everyone had a great weekend. I've got to say I don't pay too much attention to what ITS up to these days as it's an exercise in frustration and sometimes rage for me. Thugs. Liars & Con Artists channel can broadcast nearly anything they want but eventually people will get sick of the inexcusable garbage they call reality television. I'm here to hang with the fine, intelligent people who contribute here and are always willing to help with my dumb questions. I appreciate all of you and Admin as well.
Peed some more on our way back to the car. Back to affectionate self.

YAY ROO!! Good girl! She was probably very pissed about that cone and who can blame her. Who hasn't had an itch you couldn't scratch. It drives you crazy.

Yes, the vet's office was very gracious and said."we're a vet's office."
I was so relieved I would have kept the appt. They are on my speed dial. My reg vet is also highly recommended and on my way to work. Their off duty message gave me the emergency #.
Milo already removed that offensive/creepy tweet, after several people called her out on the nature of it.

I figured that was going to happen! I called that one. Does she feel no shame in having tweeted it in the first place?
Now I really wonder if Gladys is a female or a creepy perverted male catfisher.
Or just an obsessed fan who will stop at nothing to get Kate's attention. I think it's more than that, though.
One thing is clear -- she is head over heels in love with Kate, and that certainly isn't normal. She's a sickie and as much as the other fans/sheeple don't' want to admit it, I think they know it.
Yea Roo - I knew she had it in her! BTW, my avatar is how my Spike looked when he came home from his eye surgery a year or so ago. Is there anything more pitiful looking than that picture (and now you know why I want to be home when he gets the other eye done....moms just take better care of them).
Signing in in the waiting room she had a massive bm.
Oh my. I was just eating a late nite snack. *gag* TMI!! lol Can we keep the dog talk private?
I KNOW Roo is unhappy with the cone. Just 1 1/2 more days. Don't know how much is due to slower peristalsis and/or how mad she is (and she is). In any event, thanks for the feedback. We should be back to normal in 2 days or so.
Good grief. Mrs. Uggs is still in celebrity mode! What is with these people who think that celebrities give a tinker's darn about them? Same goes with Kate and the sheeple who want to meet up with her. Wouldn't you think this would get very frustrating after awhile when they get no response and no invitation? I don't get it.

@TheSharkDaymond hi. I will be NYC this Friday morning. Love to meet for lunch. #Bucketlist

----------------
How does one keep talk private on a blog? Perhaps we should all check in when we're having late night snacks so posters know not to post anything about dogs and their ailments. People here were concerned about Roo and Roo's mom updated her condition. Glad to hear she's good to go (pun intended).
Once again, the criticism isn't because she spit-roasted a chicken. It's because she claims to be such a splendiferous cook, and then appears to be amazed by something simple which has been done a hundred times before.
&&&
What amuses me and has for years is how incredible mediocre she is, and not just that, but that on the contrary she thinks she's special. Someone who is not mediocre would have figured out how to rotate a chicken years ago. And probably added some lemon, garlic and rosemary to it too.
Nothing wrong with being mediocre, most of us are mediocre. But it sure is funny when you don't know who you are and even write books that show you don't know who you are.

So, background... I had this tortilla soup at the Tommy Bahama restaurant in Naples, FL.

Do NOT use flour tortillas. Use CORN.

Didn't Gladys recently suggest that TFW use her Twitter "clout" to
do something about the terrible things that show up on her timeline?
At least she had the sense to remove her own pathetic tweet. Okay,
"sense" may be too flattering - maybe she was afraid of getting into
trouble.
I was happy to read about Roo's outcome (or should I say output).
But it's always interesting to see the creative ways people try to
derail our conversations!
The Gosselin saga never changes. So now Jon has a "source" who says that he is unhappy that the kids are back on TV, Kate is not allowing him to see the kids, and he has no money to fight her in court so she does whatever she wants, yada, yada. Knowing how Kate operates, probably true but Jon had to have known that she would do whatever it took to get those kids back on TV. It still all boils down to money with those two, one with and one without.
The rotisserie chicken tweet is just plain odd. That is supposed to be impressive from someone who wrote a cookbook? Proves her cookbook is a pack of lies. Hey Kate, keep dishing out those lies because they always catch up with you in the end.
@NKjoemacfan yep. Sock drawers led to that and Mady pronounced my little girls hoarders! #WhatchaGonnaDo?
@@@@@@@@@@@@@
How would Mady know what's in the girls' drawers unless she is there? I don't Kate was doing anything other than "delegating".
