A personal Thank you to Veteran Marine James McGibney for serving our country & now is the founder of BullyVille who helps those in need.����
Seems they are still members of the cult and love him, doesn't it? That must be some powerful Kool Aid they are drinking. I wonder how that class-action lawsuit is progressing. We don't hear anything about it. You just have to shake your head...
______________________
Those in need of what, or whom? You have to wonder just how gullible these people are. I guess that is to be expected when you're missing your "D," but my gosh, how can anyone with any smarts look at that person and believe him to be a helpful, compassionate friend to all mankind? It's really scary when you think about it -- that so many of those sheeple can't sit down and look at the whole picture and logically think things through. But you know, Jonestown was the home to so many of them and we know how that turned out.
Last month, we learned one of our present rescues has Cushings disease. It was pretty rough for a few weeks (she couldn't hold her water and trembled relentlessly) until the medication kicked in. Cushings is caused by a tumor on the pituitary. It's incurable, and the medication doesn't always work, but in this case it did. She's an old girl and will be on it for the rest of her life.
She's such a mixed breed, she has mismatched ears--one up and one down. We think one is a basenji ear and one is a Jack Russell!
*******
Thanks for your kind words. We miss our girl so much.
Our previous Bichon had Cushings since he was 5 1/2 y.o. He lived until 16 and we managed with lysodren and monitoring with ACTH stim tests.
We changed his dosing over the years surprisingly little.

kate gosselin came through my line, talked to me for 15 mins, and left by giving me her phone number and saying i could babysit whenever. ok
I don't know if this is true, but does Kate ever look at these kids' timelines or does a background check? My word.
______________
I can't believe that Kate would give a young kid her phone number. Sounds fishy to me. I looked at her TL, and just from a very quick reading know that I wouldn't let this girl babysit my children. I really hope Kate is smarter than this, and this person was just imagining the babysitting thing.
Maybe that girl changed her tweet because of the Confidentiality Agreement Kate had her pre-sign at the checkout counter. ;)
Just want to say how much I enjoy everyone's animal anecdotes and stories.
After much ferocious and protective barking, Roo got used to the guys replacing some banisters.
THEN the guys with the leaf blowers showed up. Glad I was home because she showed me that another window needs a pet proof screen.

Oh I believe this. That sounds just like Kate. Cheap out on the placement fee, which can be several thousand dollars. Pay less than the going wage because some young girl is not a trained nanny and doesn't know any better. Do it all under the table, something an agency is unlikely to let you do.
Quite frankly, that's how I was hired as a nanny. A random encounter and an exchange of phone numbers. I was shocked for about 2 weeks after that that someone that wealthy and famous would acquire a nanny that way. I never dreamed of suggesting I work for them. They offered.
I read that Kendra Wilkinson is filming "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here" in Australia.
How did Kite not get this spot??!
Kite could have been reunited with her koalas and fed more alligators and wept at the sight of her handprints in the cement.
Kendra just had a baby in May, so how's that working?

The cheap teenage babysitter's TL on twitter is awful. Here is a tweet she sent right before the first one about kate, so she had to be at work. And, oh, she deleted the one about kate giving her her phone number and telling her she could babysit, whenever. Sorry for the language.

Something is weird, I think she might intend to be sarcastic with that refigured tweet.

She wants her to babysit her kids? She's crazy as hades.
I would not take that girl's tweet seriously although, *cough* , Kate does seem to go through nannies in lightening speed. Except for the one who gave a tabloid interview, Kate has managed to keep them silent as to what goes on. Also, she probably does not want Jon to know anything about them in case he decides to take her to court. Oh well, just another day in Krazyland.

Kate would have given her veneers to film a reality show in Australia. Perhaps she knew about it and that's why the past tweets about missing Australia. She and her Flying Monkey could then make a quick trip to NZ to visit his parents again. When Gina did not make that trip to her homeland, that was the clincher for me about Kate and Steve. Absolute gall of him to take her to his parents' home without his wife. Maybe he was showing off or maybe he was introducing her as his love interest. If my married son brought home a divorced female into my home, I would say WTF!
RIP to actress Carol Ann Susi.
I would say WTF!

Especially if it was the wicked witch aka KK.
I think the whole Kendra/Hank cheating thing was a publicity stunt to get her a spot on that Australian reality show.
Tucker's mom...always love your posts, but the passing of a pet is so difficult. Sorry to read that...leaves a hole within. My adopted little one, is in his 14th year, so I'm trying to ready myself.
Oh no. RIP Carol Ann Susi. I wonder how Big Bang will treat her passing because she was great as the voice of Wolowitz's mother.

Bunch of bullshit. Kate sure brings the loons out into the open, doesnt she?
You might have time if kate were your last customer or if the store were quiet. Or maybe she's just being a kid and exaggerating two minutes into 15. Kids do that.
A little OT, but if you have Netflix and are interested, there's a pretty good documentary that I caught this weekend called Miss Representation.
It's an interesting look into how women are undermined, trivialized and sexualized in the media in order to keep them preoccupied with how they look instead of what they can contribute to society intellectually and politically.
If anyone has seen it and has a better synopsis, please help me out here. I'm not doing it justice. I will say it is at times heart wrenching and infuriating but it's well worth the watch.
Back to our regularly scheduled Kate snark. :D

Thank you all for your support. I just brought our girl home (we had her cremated) and she's right by our Bichon that she "mommied" for years.
It is so very hard. I felt that we were on top of her decline, and made our decision at the right time.
There was something to take comfort in that, although, of course, it's not much.
But, it's something.
We gave her a life- a full life, and we hung in there with her and her quirks and challenges.
We hold our heads high knowing that we were chosen to be her angels, as she was ours.
Tucker's,
Big virtual hugs to you. It's so hard to lose a cherished furriend. I commend you on your choice to not allow her to suffer. I'm sure she is grateful. Peace.

Tuckers, so sorry about your fur baby.
Also I will miss Carol Sosi, the voice of Debbie Wolowitz on Big Bang. She was so very funny! I hope the producers will find a way to have her continue with recordings, or maybe they will have Mrs. Wolowitz die on the show. I can't imagine anyone else being able to do that voice so perfectly.

kate gosselin strikes again coming through my line being a fucking cunt
tar @TaraHellmig 23 Sep
hey everyone. kate gosselin came through my line and wasnt a cunt!!! today she talked about how all 8 of her kids tire her out. wonder why.
I've been away visiting relatives, and have been out of the loop. Glad to see CA finally has an air date--I'm looking forward to it.
I was appalled when I heard Kate's talk about Camp Barnabas. Just shows how clueless she is. Typical Kate, saying how much of a burden the kids are, and that the parents need a break. Just shows that she never thinks of things from a kids' perspective-the only thing she relates to is how hard it must be for the parents.
Most parents I know send their children to camp, not to get a break, but to give their child an opportunity to learn and evolve. But Kate doesn't get that--to her, it's all about how much children are a burden to their parents.
In a way, I feel sorry for her that she thinks that all children, especially special needs children, are a burden to be dealt with.
Does anyone here get the feeling that Kate has put up Xmas stuff for filming? I get that feeling from her very last tweet: the Falalalalal.? I also get the feeling Kate is going to do a lavish, Thanksgiving and Xmas, and it will all be filmed, cause she will be celebrating, her triumph return to TV and CA to air?
I wonder how long before her sorry mug shows up on the talk shows?

Just want to clarify that this post was not mine! :)
"When Gina did not make that trip to her homeland, that was the clincher for me about Kate and Steve."
8888888888888888
Was it confirmed that Gina definitely wasn't along on that trip, or did she just choose not to be photographed? If she didn't go along, perhaps there was a reason, such as their children having other obligations at home or school. We really don't know why she didn't go, if she were in agreement with Steve taking Kate and the kids to meet his family, or what went down during that time. Gina has been totally silent in this whole thing, and as far as I know has never spoken out in the media about Kate and Steve's relationship, either business or personal. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me!

It seems highly unlikely. My first real job was as a cashier at a TG&Y store (a small chain, early version of Target). I certainly chatted politely with customers, but standing there talking for 15 minutes? No. My supervisor would have noticed and I would have to explain myself afterwards. There is always something you are supposed to be doing, even if it's quiet. Usually it's stocking the displays that are by your register.
If they chatted, it seems like it would have been while she was ringing up Kate's purchases. I sure hope Kate didn't really suggest she babysit her kids, but I wouldn't put it past the old cheapskate.
Tucker's Mom said... 186
Speaking of dogs, we lost our black lab last week. She was 13 and a wonderful girl who we rescued from the Richmond, VA SPCA (right before they moved into the new facilities) when she was about 8 months old.
***************
I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your dear dog. I'm glad she was so fortunate to find a wonderful loving home with you. I still miss my former boss's dog, Hank. He was an Australian shepherd and when he came to the office, he would lie down by my chair. If I got up to go to the copier or into another office, he would accompany me. A real ladies' man.
Even though he wasn't my dog, I sure loved him.
NYY Juliana -- to my knowledge, Gina has not publicly spoken out about her husband and/or Kate. I remember reading somewhere (perhaps in Robert's book) about Kate writing or e-mailing Gina, inviting her to come to some sort of get-together and promising she wouldn't drink too much. That led me to believe that there had been an unpleasant scene prior to that, when Kate drank too much. But who knows for sure, as the parties involved aren't saying.
All I know for sure is that Gina is apparently still married to Steve, and I presume he is living in the family home when he isn't bodyguarding Kate. So I guess both of them want to stay married to each other. It's just another puzzling aspect to the whole saga.

Did I watch the right video? TMZ approached him at the airport and he was kind, respectable, talked to them, said nothing that could be misinterpreted on any level, nothing about Kate or the kids. What was he supposed to do -- be rude and tell them to get away, that he's not talking, and to mind their own business?

*************************
Nobody said he was rude. However, talking about his "good scraps" and promising to be wingman for a paparazzi is not exactly the epitome of class. If you consider having women referred to as "scraps" respectful, that is your business, but I will strongly disagree.
The only vacation that I am aware of when Gina accompanied Steve was on the Hawaii vow renewal and I believe their sons went also. I read that somewhere, perhaps in Robert's book.
As far as whether she went to NZ during that filming, there was no mention of Gina and the paps and tabloids widely covered that trip. The tabloid story about Steve taking Kate to visit his parents makes no mention of Gina being there also. I really don't know; just taking a guess. I brought it up because Kate is always trying to grift her way back to Australia and is probably jealous that Kendra is there.
The page opens but the video won't play for me but sounds like just friendly joking around to me. For goodness sakes the pearl clutching. Even my girlfriends joke about wingmen. Or in our case wing women!

Yes, admin, I had trouble, too. I went back and pulled up the page twice and I did get it to work. He was joking around and being friendly. I guess if you joke, it means you have no class. What's sauce for the goose. No matter what he says, he's going to be crucified. Enough pearl clutching. It gets very old after awhile. Geez...
Is it asking too much for posters to use their regular names rather than commenting under names that fit the subject? I think admin asked very nicely that this not be done.
I kinda like to express my opinion and not be told I'm a pearl-clutcher. I think anyone should watch what they say on TV. I didn't think it was funny. Just kind of thoughtless banter and he looked like he enjoyed the attention. That's all the thought I gave it. J-M-O.Nothing abusive, gossipy, vicious ...just silly. No crucifixion planned.
Formerly I was referring more to the other poster. I didn't think your comments were particularly pearl clutching. I think it's fair to say that joking around among the guys is different than doing it on camera and recorded and one should keep that I mind. Still I don't find such banter particularly offensive. It goes on all the time among men and women.
Duped, 50..."Just kind of thoughtless banter and he looked like he enjoyed the attention."
((((((((((((((((
From what I saw, TMZ went up to him. He didn't seek them out. It wasn't a sit-down serious interview by a polished journalist who was asking him questions that required in-depth responses.They were talking to him and he responded. I guess anyone can read anything into whatever. I don't know how it looked like he enjoyed the attention, but if that's the impression someone got, then that's one interpretation. I think that no matter what he does or says, people are going to have their own opinions. That's not only true with celebrities, but it's a fact of life in the real world. Opinions make the world go around and keep things interesting.
Tucker's Mom -- so sorry about the loss of your friend. It hurts. We're going to have to make a decision here in the near future, and I'm hoping we can postpone it until after the holidays. We recently lost a cat to cancer, and our dog is really up there in years, blind and deaf, has lost weight because of liver disease, but she is still bouncing around as best as she can. She's lived a very long, happy life, but I know the time is coming and I dread it.
I watched the video and didnt see anything wrong with it.
Getofftwitter - The Falalalala was not a hint about Christmas. It has something to do with the movie that they saw and the fist bumping. Apparently the sound the sound he makes is sort of like Falalalala.

He was ambushed at the airport, kept it light and took the tmz guy's phone # without giving his own. Being perceived as rude would have been much worse.

Nope. I didn't either. I think that initially when someone posted the link to the video the comment was that he should stay out of the media. What in the world was he supposed to do when the media was the one who approached him? He handled it just fine. He seemed very friendly and very down-to-earth with them.

Yes and this is just what they DO at LAX. Jon, Kate and the children are probably going to be stopped by TMZ for the next 20 years any time they happen to come through LAX. They hang out in baggage claim waiting for somebody, anybody. If Jon brings them 100 bucks for getting the interview, that's a hundred bucks more than they didn't have two minutes ago. Contrary to the stereotype, most paparazzi are not jerks nor do they harass people. Most are just patiently waiting, doing their job, approaching celebs in public places and asking to chat. If you don't want to chat that's fine, but you risk looking standoffish and rude. There are literally thousands of little interviews like this from a variety of other celebs hanging out in baggage claim. It's not that big of a deal. Here's one from the late great Paul Walker. It's just like Jon's. He was at the airport, approached by TMZ, and decided to just be friendly. He joked about love and wheelchairs. I guess he could have blown them off, but he seems too nice for that. When he really had to go he shook his hand and said hey I gotta go thanks!

Thank goodness you said that, I thought it was funny. The TMZ dude said scraps, Jon just repeated it. Again it just shows what a friendly guy he is, dang, how did he ever end up with the snobby, stick up the butt Katie?
Duped said, " I think anyone should watch what they say on TV. I didn't think it was funny."
***********************
Of course they should choose their words carefully if they are on television. Jon, however, was passing through the airport, TMZ caught up to him and they had a friendly conversation. He didn't throw Kate under the bus, talk about custody issues or what a witch his ex-wife really is. It was just guy-to-guy talk, and all was good. He was not being filmed for a television show (as far as I know).
Jon was just fine in that video. I think what he meant by the good scraps, he repeated scraps from tmz guy, that he has had kind, good decent women who didn't scream, curse and slap him in the face whenever they wanted too after TFW.
And they were good to the kids. TFW is a terror!
So sorry to the ladies who fur babies have passed. It is hard to not think about them. All my ds's dogs are getting older and as tall and big as they are and the dogs as small as they are, the ds's are going to be crushed. Pomeranian, Chihuahua/rat terrier, Yorkie, lavender Chihuahua. They are their babies!

Maybe they were allowed to put as much on their plates that they thought they could eat, and if they wanted more, they could get more.
That meal looks pretty hearty. Pasta with stromboli has a lot of carbs and should fill their stomachs. Good for M and C.
My question is if the girls made the meal does that mean Kate is on clean-up duty? Is HER name on the chore list?
Big whoop! Kates twins made pizza puffs & pasta & bean soup. I wonder if the twins are schedule to cook a couple of days a week. Good for them. Kate, how come the twins did not want their pic taken? And it looks portioned food.

Looks like a meal that kids would enjoy, and maybe the twins knew that when planning supper. Hopefully if they wanted more, they could go back for seconds.

Kate's twins made pizza puffs & pasta & bean soup. 67
At least she didn't sabotage them like she did when they were " mommy for a day."
For what it is worth, I think that Jon's references to Chin Chin and Pink Tacos were intentional sexual references. There is a restaurant called Chin Chin in LA. And there is a restaurant called Pink Taco, but not in LA (in Las Vegas.
Urban Dictionary: pink taco
www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pink%20taco
1. labia minora of the female genitalia, which resembles the folded tortilla of a taco. 2. Bar at the Hard Rock Casino - Las Vegas.
Urban Dictionary: Chin Chin
www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Chin+Chin
Chin Chin. 1) Italian (and sometimes French): 'Cheers!' Derives from the sound of the glasses clinking together. 2) Japanese: Penis. Cause of much puzzlement ...
I did get a kick out of the douche references to Jon, sinceI don't think that you could put together a douchier group of guys than the TMZ crew!
Correction to my previous post--
There is a Pink Taco restaurant. So, incredible coincidence that out of all of the restaurants in LA, Jon referenced 2 that were slang for genitalia. What are the odds?
Those kids will never be able to go to a all you can eat buffet. They would have to get a real plate, silverware, pick out what they want, how much to get, while having PTSD flashbacks of their mother saying how to eat their food and in what order. Salad, crunchy things, soft things, dessert, drink.
Why all of a sudden is this publicity picture being shared? Is she doing this because the new episodes and CA is coming on and she wants to look good?
I wonder if Gladys is in the hospital.

M+C should make dinner more often! Not that I want to add to their chore list, but that finally looks like a hearty meal.
Poor boys with their forced smiles ;-(
That really is a hearty meal. I make my pasta e fagioli with spicy Italian sausage and like more of a soupy consistency and it is a meal in itself so the Stromboli is icing on the cake for them. I'm not a big Stromboli fan and just serve mine with a nice Italian bread. If I do make Stromboli I use the Pillsbury easy Stromboli recipe (using spicy Italian sausage).
This is pure speculation, but my guess would be that the twins just heated up stuff TFW had in the freezer and good for them. A quick hearty meal. Maybe TFW is going to pitch a cooking show with the twins. I'd say though that there would be some stiff competition from the current crop of kids on Master Chef Jr. Those kids can cook.
I agree, Tucker's Mom. I just thought that she really was sadistic to M and C when they tried to cook that meal. I wonder if she regrets it, because just think if M and C or C or M could cook really good and THEY wanted to pursue it and be a chef, they may have had a chance to get on a kids cooking show contest.
She is helpless. Why didn't they have Catherine come in and help them cook for the family. She could of went to FedEx, the tanning bed, got a mani-pedi, Starbucks, stopped by Target and came back and M and C would of gotten a well deserved break and treated like human beings.
Yep, those poor boys and their forced smiles. I wonder if she has her birthday wish for all the boys for a filmed TLC special,
Boys and Braces. She would get them for free. Can't believe that hag taped those glasses A's to wait for TLC to film and get them for free. What maybe 2 to 3 hundred dollars? That is nothing for her to pay.
I guess the Spiderman duct tape made it ok to wait. Hope his peers in school didn't tease him about it.
ET Interview with June
Mama June sat down to do an interview with ET, and omg, it's disgusting.
I mean, have a puke bucket handy.
This woman should have her children taken away from her.
I don't know why this hasn't happened already.
About the vile, filthy child molester she reunited with, actually said, "It's not like I see him everyday"
smdh.
Yes, you are correct, Tucker's Mom.
She asked her if she read the court documents and she said no, then she told her if you read them, you would be horrified. Then she flippantly said, the past is the past. She does not intend to see the horrific damage this monster she is doing right now, has caused her precious daughters. She is in extreme denial. She said, she had nothing to lose about the truth. Well, you do, the relationships with your daughters, and CPS coming knocking on your door and taking away Pumpkin and Alaina.
She loves to service him, plain and simple. And she is not going to give that up. She has chose him over her daughters.
Wish that Sugar Bear would of gotten that box of pictures of him and her that she kept for years and years that she refuse to get rid of, and took it off somewhere and set it on fire.
Anna did such a great interview on Dr. Drew this week. She is just a beautiful, strong young lady.
I think Mady took the picture. I wonder if Kate was even home.

And TLC made her a star!! Does TLC do any background checks on any family they bring on board? Ever?
I know most of us here worry about the kids on reality shows, so this falls in line with the G8. Do these parents have the sense to look out for their kids first or allow parents to film their kids for ratings?
Kate may be a step above June, but not far behind as she continues to film kids who are 10 and 13 with no signs of stopping. She has had plenty of time to find her way as a "single parent" to support her kids solo, yet 10 years later - nada.
Big uproar in the news....some lady in Georgia pulled a Kate Gosselin in a race. Finished in some highly unlikely time. Although they disqualified that lady.
It still floors me that TFW and her running partner had times that matched down to the tenth of a second or something...at every checkpoint. Highly, highly unlikely.

I never "got" HBB or her show.
I've also never given June an ounce of credit for saying that all the money is going into a college fund for HBB.
First, it doesn't matter where it goes when HBB is earning it. That doesn't make it right.
Second, I never believed her in the first place and it turns out, June was buying lavish gifts for a child molester.
That interview turned my stomach. I really hope a case worker is involved at this point.
June can't be trusted with minor girls.
It would be too hard for poor June to read about how her own daughter was defiled by a predator...

There was a reason that Kate chose a nighttime marathon- so she could hop on the back of Steve's cycle.
Kate's training was nonsensical. She didn't eat correctly as she wasted away her muscles through poor nutrition.
Then, she bragged about wearing heels the next day and feeling great.
When she realized that made her sound like a big fat liar, she changed her story to how sore she was after.
There's more holes in her story than a block of Swiss cheese.
Mostly, she didn't look like she ran 10 miles, let alone 26.
If you've ever run distance, you know the injuries and pain you get, but there's Kate, telling people she ran 11 miles, then 18, and never ever a mention of injury.
Then, she breaks her pinky toe and her running career is over.
Makes no sense whatsoever.

Maybe they were allowed to put as much on their plates that they thought they could eat, and if they wanted more, they could get more.

TLC is losing talent lately. The Cake Boss is sitting in jail after being arrested for dwi.
What a great group of folks they have in their talent pool.
How did TLC NOT connect June to 2, count 'em, 2, child molesters?
I'm betting they did, and Kate wants to keep associating (her kids) with this vile company.
"And the girls put a lot and the boys just a little? Given Kate is a huge control freak, and treated the boys like second class citizens (right in front of the camera, which is how I saw it happening), I really find that unlikely."
OT, but she also stated that everyone of the kids would be in braces come August, when people complained about how bad some of the boy's teeth are. Don't see any of them in braces yet. I suppose Jon has no say about that either..poor little boys.

And is it just me or is that the same evil glare she's giving Brooke (@1:17 in that video clip) that Kate has in her eyes whenever her parenting is questioned?

I really don't. Maybe the boys aren't as fond of strombolis as the girls, or maybe they just weren't as hungry. Who knows? Maybe they don't eat much at one sitting. I have "grazers" here.
These are not big kids. I really don't think that they are being starved, nor do they look like victims of a famine. I remember how surprised I was when I first saw them in person. They were so much tinier than they appeared on television -- not thin or under-nourished, but just small children, slightly built, much smaller than they appeared to be on television. There is no doubt in my mind that she controls their food, what they eat and when, but as far as starving them to the point that they go hungry, I just don't see it. The Twitter non-fans went nuts over this dinner, with really nasty insults about the kids being starved to death, etc. I know that one or more of them posts here, and tweets her with comments that are absolutely untrue. I can see why she blocks them. They just run wild with their accusations. That said, Kate's still a neurotic mess, but sometimes the nit-picking and speculation goes too far. She shouldn't tweet photos like this. She just sets herself up for criticism, but she'll never learn.

TLC does not care about kids. Their only concern is to get that show on the air once the shooting is over and the editing is finished. It's all just money to them. They proved they don't care about the welfare of children just judging from how they filmed the Gosselin kids relentlessly when the show was getting high ratings. TLC is just rotten to the core.
Just watch how they'll now take the position to willingly do background checks on people before they make them reality tv stars and walk away from this looking innocent.

Of course they should choose their words carefully if they are on television. Jon, however, was passing through the airport, TMZ caught up to him and they had a friendly conversation. He didn't throw Kate under the bus, talk about custody issues or what a witch his ex-wife really is. It was just guy-to-guy talk, and all was good. He was not being filmed for a television show (as far as I know).

TMZ has a television show. When you talk to TMZ, you know darn well that your piece might end up on air.

Oops. Looks like TLC has its hands full right now...
"TV’s "Cake Boss" was arrested Thursday morning in Manhattan on drunk driving charges, police say.
Buddy Valastro, the star of the TLC show "Cake Boss," was charged with driving while intoxicated and driving while ability impaired after a stop on 10th Avenue near Hudson Yards."
Gosh, when it rains, it pours for TLC! Damage control squad having an emergency meeting!
Chin Chin bills itself as a family restaurant with authentic Chinese food and has been around since 1983.
The Pink Taco is more for the adult crowd, lots of cocktails/Happy Hour and no mention of family or kids on their menu. (at least that I saw)
Jon can't be held responsible for the names of these places. Maybe he likes their food. God help him if he ever goes to Hooters, like millions of Americans, or watches the Pussy Cat Dolls. He's a single man. Big deal.

“If I could go back, I would change the name,” Harry muses now of his haute Mexican eatery [chain]. “It started off as a funny idea; it was a joke at the time. But now we pride ourselves on our ability to evolve, and the food speaks for itself.”
“We’re not trying to be a one-trick pony or a funny-named restaurant. The name isn’t even provocative anymore, it’s almost cliché. If we kept trying to play that hand it would be boring. The name is what it is. But at least it’s catchy and internationally known.”

I kind of felt bad for Jon with the latest TMZ interview at the airport.
Jon's an affable, laid back guy and they were just making fun of him.
I agree Jon was being friendly and harmless. My original point was, if you talk to TMZ, you will end up on TV and being ridiculed.What he said was not hurtful to anyone but did him no good, IMO.
Gosh, when it rains, it pours for TLC! Damage control squad having an emergency meeting!

I bet Kate is seeing that crack in TLC's door widening.
She'd go back to filming her kids on a 50+ episodes per year rate in a heartbeat.
I can't wait for the day that one or more of the kids refuses to film. I hope PA passes a law that required set teachers, because I have the feeling Kate + 8 is coming back.

I think June is out of her mind for doing this media tour.
She's admitting to knowing her own daughter was molested by her bf, and that she refused to even acknowledge it, and she hooked up with the pervert as soon as he was released from prison.
What I hope is that the appearance on Dr. Phil will put focus on the safety of June's girls and June's mental heath.
She is not of sound mind.

It does seem to be on china, not paper. By K's standards, that's exceptional presentation.
From the reports, Buddy was heading for the Lincoln Tunnel. I hate that thing with a passion. Can you imagine crashing head-on into another car there? It's good he was stopped before something really serious happened.
As I am sitting here contemplating turning on the heat, and dreading the 16 degree windchill with possible snow tonight, I was thinking about this blog and the nice people who comment here without the expletives, F-bombs and nasty language. Oh, I know that some might swear a blue streak in private, but it's not brought here and that's what keeps it a fun place to be. Out of respect for other posters who don't appreciate that kind of language, we don't call Kate the C word, and resort to potty language, as tempting as that might be. There are the occasional posts calling out other posters, and the ones who sometimes comment in condescending tones, but for the most part, everyone is very considerate of the other person, regardless of the differences of opinion. We keep it clean and I don't think that's pearl clutching...it just shows a respect for all of those who read here.
Oh, and at least I won't have to worry about my adopted strays out in the cold tonight. I'm sure they'll find a warm spot in my bed, snuggled contentedly under the down comforters, forgetting that last year they were trying to stay warm in blankets under the shelter on my deck! No more kittens, either, thank goodness, although I've noticed the dad on the prowl in the neighbor's yard. He'll have to go elsewhere to, um, well...
Fleecing: What ideas is this lackey talking about? Kate, has never really sat down and did an arts & craft project with any of her 8 kids, together or separate. We saw Jon do the pumpkin carving with the kids, inwhich Kate had a hissy fit about the mess, and wanted to clean up asap, even before they were through carving. Any of the other projects were not at home, they were at places they went to. Cooking is not arts & craft. If these lackeys are referring to the projects in Kates last book, the ones we all know she never did, with the kids, this woman is off her meds.
Kate, does not have the creative gene, if she did, you would see it in the kids and her home. Her house was professionally decorated by a Professional Decorater, not by her. Kate would not spend the time of day or get her manicure nails broken for homemade/mediocre/mundane/normal crafts that a lot of us do, nor would she want that stuff in her house. I knew a newly married girl in her late 20's, who did not want any homemade crap, in her house, if it was not store bought, it went into the trash. I asked her why? Cause, her mother only had homemade things, arts & craft stuff, and she hated it. Sounds like Kate, remember the woman who gave her a I think it was an handmade Amish thing, and Kate put it in the trash. Kates lackeys make me laugh!
Nobody's Scrap...one of the unwritten rules (or maybe it is one of Admin's rules, can't remember), is there is no point in going on and on with your point about Jon and TMZ. You made it, others either agree or disagree, now please move on.
TMZ is reporting that the Dr. Phill-Mama June interview was taped today (for viewing on Monday) and that Mama has lied about a few things. She claims she was paid by TLC whereas TMZ says she was not. She also claims a picture was "fake"; TMZ says 'no way'.

+++++++++++
That was included in the law that was already passed, from what I understand:
House Bill 1548 allows children on television, but limits the hours a child can work. The bill also makes sure a studio teacher is on set so a child actor’s education is provided for.
Among the reforms in House Bill 1548, children under 16 on a film set must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times. They can work no more than eight hours a day or 48 hours per week, and minors must finish work by 10 p.m. on school nights.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@Acoshi_crafts @Kateplusmy8 Agreed! I was amazed at Kate's "games" on the RV trip & other shows.
LOL!! Yes! The pizza-in-foil game. That was amazing, wasn't it, and so creative and fun. Sheesh! How about dragging the vac over the stones? Great game, and taught the kids so much for the respect of another person's property! What about playing the "Who's on Rushmore?" game. So educational!
At this point I don't consider a few seconds of stupid banter at an airport with a TMZ "reporter" to be in the same league as the continued abuse of children & animals.
Mama June is doing a "denial" tour. As well as ET tonight, she will be on Dr. Phil on Monday. Despicable woman.

Oh boy this is right up Dr. Phil's alley. The team of managers in his marketing machine must be celebrating this one with champagne.
June needs professional counseling and lots of it with a credentialed therapist, not more media attention given to her courtesy of this pompous media whore McGraw.
Right, because were the only two options available to him. Apparently you're not aware that it's possibly to be perfectly friendly and say "hey guys, no time for an interview tonight. Have a great night."

June is a horrible liar. Her video just after the scandal broke was awful. She lied and has no guilt about it.

A set teacher is only there under certain circumstances, and I can't remember what exactly it is, but I do recall thinking it wouldn't affect Kate much.
Jon mentioned that there needs to be a set teacher/someone who looks out for the kids 100% of the time, and have the ability to halt filming or remove the child from the filming.
I don't think there's been anyone like this when Kate films the kids.
Other games on the RV trip:
Mud flinging with your BFF's son.
Rafting without getting wet ... or who can suck the most fun out of a rafting trip.
Those RV games were incredibly stupid. Even TFW wasn't into them. It was just part of the script to her.
You could tell that those were thought up by some production assistant who didn't have children and had looked up some ideas on the internet. Those were games that would have been far more appropriate for 3 year olds. Or nobody.
I think it is Brooke (from ET) who was just on The Talk. She came straight from an interview yesterday with Mama June who confessed that both Pumpkin and HBB were fathered by Mark. And that her first sexual experience was at age 12 because she was looking for love that she didn't find at home. She said her mother was aware of this. No wonder she behaves like she does -- her history doesn't seem to include much of what I consider a normal upbringing. I won't be watching Dr. P .... can't stomach him no matter who are the guests.

I've never been a fan of HBB, but I've always felt sorry for her. She's had to carry a reality tv show that exposed her to derision and made her work harder than the Gosselin kids.
If HBB reaches adulthood without a drug or alcohol problem, or without giving birth, it will be a miracle.

I was shocked to read your post that said HBB's dad was Mark (assuming you meant Mark McDaniel). It didn't make sense to me or fit the timeline of his incarceration, so I googled and read the ET interview.
Per the written article, Mark McDaniel is not the father of any of June's daughters.

And making herself appear more stupid, if that's possible. I can't stand that woman! Moreover, she just looks dirty all of the time.
As far as the issue of moving on, I guess that would apply to TFW too? I mean, the RV episodes are being rehashed yet again, but I sincerely doubt that anyone will try to shut that down.
The video was posted last night, right? And, according to the conventional wisdom of this blog, since Jon himself was in this video, this certainly is on topic.
Jon could shut down all discussion by not engaging. He can be polite, and say no comment, or, as another poster said, say he can't stop and talk. Instead he participates in a coversation that becomes increasingly crass and sexualized. He has 5 daughters--how would he like to hear them called scraps? How would he like to have them hear him refer to women as scraps? If he is the loving, consistent parent, then he needs to grow up and learn to set boundaries.
The fact that he continues to do this stupid stuff, makes him fair game as a topic of this blog. If people don't agree, then just scroll past. I don't find it particularly interesting to rehash old news, unless something new has come to light. Others disagree, and seem to never tire of picking apart events that are now 4-8 years ago. So be it--I just scroll by and don't comment and I assume others do the same with my post. Why is there this pressing need to suppress a reasonable opinion and discussion about something that happened within the last 24 hours? Most people have not yet weighed in on this yet, and they have every right to without being told to move on.
Jon mentioned that there needs to be a set teacher/someone who looks out for the kids 100% of the time, and have the ability to halt filming or remove the child from the filming.

Nor will there be anyone more hated by her if such a person is assigned to monitor her kids during filming. This could really throw the kibosh on her plan of making memories for them in front of a camera until they're ready for college.

I don't get that impression at all. Perhaps, when the reasonable opinion and discussion gets snarky or it appears that the poster has a chip on their shoulder that the comment veers into violation of Rule # 3. It can be hard to read the subtleties of written comments.
Also, when it appears that a poster is commenting under a different name each time, it causes some readers to be leery of the intent. I guess the drive-bys over the years have made people suspicious.

But ex-nurse, you've done this (rehashed) quite a few times in the past, if I recall, bringing things up from years ago, and kept it up to the point that admin respectfully asked you to move on.

She sucks the fun out of EVERYTHING. I'm not going to elaborate because we've all seen multiple examples
I think Mama June, her "lovers" and the girls will end up on the Maury Povich Show to sort out the DNA involved.

Well, well, well. Now the Cake Boss has been arrested for impaired. That's quite a track record they have at TLC. Looks like 2014 is going to be their Annus horribilis. Looks good on 'em. Discovery, this is your chance to clean house and fire the lot of them.

Now I'm really starting to wonder about Gladys. There's no one to alert her to the weather conditions tonight:
"Special weather statement: Precipitation will start out as rain, before mixing with sleet and snow, then changing over to all snow this evening. Snowfall amounts are generally expected to be a less than a half an inch."
Who will tell her to get the generators ready, to make emergency plans if she's snowed in, and to protect all of those trees lining her driveway? Is there a default sheeple meteorologist on call?
Those cat shelters look really easy to make. I'm considering creating one for the "dad cat" roaming the neighborhood, but I also remember what happened last year when I did that. I'm afraid I'd end up feeding him, worrying about him freezing in the cold, and then, well, we all know happened last year when I added two cats (and then two kittens, an unplanned and unannounced pregnancy) to the menagerie! I'm not going through that again, although these two adopted cats are probably the most affectionate and loving felines I've ever had. Sigh...

lol! And to find out what defective genes created that mess.
Also, when it appears that a poster is commenting under a different name each time, it causes some readers to be leery of the intent. I guess the drive-bys over the years have made people suspicious.
That's just my take.

I agree. Very suspicious. It's called stirring the pot and it appears that this was the intention of this poster, especially when their name was created to fit the context of the post. There's a difference in having dissenting opinions done in a respectful manner, and pot-stirring just to keep things going, using terms like "you're not aware" and "apparently you missed" (paraphrased, most likely) but the condescension is there.
TMZ is reporting when Buddy Valastro was arrested for drunk driving, he screamed, "You can't arrest me. I'm the cake boss!"
I bet when TFW was stopped for speeding, she pulled "rank" as well. "I'm a celebrity...with 8 kids!"

Networks just aren't ready to cut the umbilical cord on reality television shows...
"VH1 has revived the reality series starring Ozzy, Sharon, Jack and Kelly Osbourne, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The Viacom-owned cable network is near a deal for a new batch of episodes of the former MTV reality series."
I can't imagine anyone advising June to do a media tour because all it's doing is making her more hatable.
******************
And making herself appear more stupid, if that's possible. I can't stand that woman! Moreover, she just looks dirty all of the time.
&&&
I can't believe how stupid she is to do a media tour and I'm shocked that Georgia hasn't taken away her kids yet.
The picture that June says is photoshopped is the one with her in bed with the molester. Harvey on TMZ said it is not and IIRC, he said someone was it Anna? said it was not photoshopped.
According to attorney Mark E. said on Dr. Drew according to Georgia law, the molester can be around all of Junes children, except Anna, who he molested.

&&&
I agree. There are a few "apparently you missed" style of posts that frankly I'm sick of. Some I haven't published, so I sort of have an insider's look at the true extent of these posts from this person or person, and I do not believe they are here to seriously discuss something. It's more of the "gotch-ya" game they love to play. See, "gotch-ya, Jon IS a bad person. Yawn. I'm interested in having an adult conversation about what we hear in the media, not play gotchya.
There was also a poster who said would YOU want to be called a scrap? I'm not sure I published it, but it's a perfect example of making it unnecessarily personal. That said, my response to that is nobody WAS called a scrap. It sounds like it was a general comment about going out dating and joking about a friend picking up someone you're not interested in. I've heard women say similar things.
I don't freak out if I hear women say ugh men are pigs after a bad date, or many other similar general negative comments I've heard women make about men hundreds of times. Similarly, I don't lose it over men making similar generalizations. We all know we need each other and love each other. I don't see a problem with joking around about our mutual needs as long as you are not specifically attacking someone or calling a specific person a "scrap." That's different.
I guess I'm just not one to get overly sensitive about the way men and women can talk about the opposite sex. I've seen women get extremely bent out of shape about what I consider benign comments, but sometimes I find it hypocritical. Harassment and sexism is real and is a grave concern, and happens from both genders, but to try to categorize such banter as anything close to offensive I think diminishes real harassment. Usually it's best not to take anything too personally, because chances are it wasn't personal. Save the yellow card for when you really need it. You may someday.
According to attorney Mark E. said on Dr. Drew according to Georgia law, the molester can be around all of Junes children, except Anna, who he molested.
&&&
Well hold on here. In any state a child molester can be around children, including the victim, if both the criminal courts and children's court say it's fine.
The question for children's services is is that SAFE for him to be around other children. A child protection court should have broad discretion to make more restrictive orders about who can come in contact with a molester. I can't imagine in any state they wouldn't have the power to keep their children safe from a predator. CHildren's court in California can even make court orders about contact for people that never even have a criminal case. The only question is are the children in front of them at risk.
I can't wait for the day that one or more of the kids refuses to film. I hope PA passes a law that required set teachers, because I have the feeling Kate + 8 is coming back.
&&&
What's also going to happen is they're not going to go along with all the photos she wants to take of them. The twins have already figured out they don't have to sit for those photos, and the tups will take their lead and probably realize it even sooner.
Watching the kids develop their own minds about this situation is going to be interesting. Her biggest enemy right now is not the child labor laws or reality TV not being as popular anymore, or her temperament, or the non-fans. Her enemy is time and her own kids. She can crow on about all that she wants but if the kids don't cooperate, she's going to be up a creek and fast.
Over in TFW's county, I can't believe it has been a year since the continuing saga of your kitten caboodle! It was great to read about you taking them in and how they adjusted so great in your home.
Even though I was traumatized and injured with a feral cat when I was a child, I can't be around kittens or cats. And I don't wish ill will on them, I wish every shelter in the county would not having any waiting to be adopted, they were all adopted.
But dogs, love my dogs.
I think June's denial and arrogance is evidence of severe dysfunction. Whether that's something from her own childhood, systemic abuse, low IQ, mental illness, I don't know.
Something didn't feel right about this family for a long time but I told myself it was just cultural. I was way off on that. I was wrong to give them the benefit of the doubt.
I'm sorry for the confusion. I know Sugar Bear is HBB's father. I should have taken notes and not confused everyone. So far I haven't found clips from The Talk to set me straight.
OK -- another child molester is the father of the 2 middle girls. Not Mark McDonald. Sheesh ... that woman doesn't seem to learn any life lessons does she?
I have questioned Mama June's judgment since I read about the go go juice.
Additionally, I think children's pageants are abusive, no matter if the child "enjoys it."
I was reading the article about June's interview and between the multiple nicknames and myriad of men I was having a hard time figuring out who was who. Luckily there was another article linked at the bottom of the page that explained the family tree. The family tree article had this sentence: Mama June claims, "I knew nothing about the situation up until almost two and half years ago" because Hale kept her out of Anna’s life and the court proceedings.
So she's trying to say she's such a useless excuse for a mother that she didn't know her own daughter was molested until something like 8 years after the man was convicted? How could she not know her boyfriend was sent to prison for molesting her daughter? Maybe I'm reading her statement wrong, but it just doesn't add up. How could she have possibly not known?
In a video on the page of the original article June said she told Anna (the daughter who was molested) "not to bring up the past again." June has to realize that's not healthy. She also said she's never read the detailed reports of what happened. It sounds to me like from the beginning she would have preferred to just sweep the whole thing under the rug instead of helping her daughter heal.
Re the latest Jon video...I think it's one of those situations where he didn't use good judgement. Talking like that with your buddies is one thing, talking like that with a TMZ reporter, not the best idea in the world.
Kind of like the peeing in the driveway thing. One thing to do it amongst your pals, in front of a reporter maybe not such a good idea.
Makes him look crass and immature. Maybe he'd be better served to reserve some behaviors for when he's in private, not with a reporter.
He just doesn't seem to have good sense as to what is private behavior versus what is public behavior, where that line is. I always find myself wanting better for him.
Admin--
I think you make a fair point about banter being different then true sexism. But, aren't you talking about between friends? Jon's comment about the quality of his scraps was made in an interview, which has now been publicly posted. Personally, I just think that he is capable of much better behavior, and of being a positive role model for his children. It is disappointing and sad to see the father of 5 girls participate in a conversation that objectifies women.
Now here's a reality show. Korean twins, separated and adopted at birth, reunite 25 years later. They found each other through the internet.

Don't care either way about Jon's banter about women. But was thinking, if Liz was a keeper, I wonder what the scraps were like?
Just 6 short years ago, June's mug shot of being arrested for not paying child support to her mother who became Anna's guardian after the molestation. She was 4400 dollars in arrears. I find it hard to believe that TLC did not run a simple background check on her in the very beginning. It is public record!
I believe the ratings were so high in the beginning and they knew about all of it, took advantage of it and would just play DUMB and the victim and cancel the show.
Poor Anna was on Dr. Drew last night again live by phone and Dr. Drew asked her if TLC has provided counseling for her. She said no. And the panel and Dr. Drew really took up for her and Dr. Drew said, I would really hope that TLC would step up and provide counseling with his hands up.
Poor Anna, I felt so bad for her, she was choking up and crying a little bit. Remember that picture of June in that black dress with the diamond round circle at the belt and she was all glammed up on the red carpet? Wow. They kept showing that picture of her on the ET? interview and how she looked in the interview. She looked like a different person.
My have the deceitful horrible witch has fallen.
http://www.tmz.com/2014/11/14/mama-june-child-support-daughter-anna-chickadee-child-molester/
Mama June stiffed the woman who took care of June's daughter after she was molested by June's boyfriend ... this according to Georgia prosecutors who filed a criminal case against her.
June's mother, Sandra Hale, became the guardian of Anna/aka Chickadee in 2003, a year after Mark McDaniel forced the girl (who was 8 at the time) to perform oral sex on him.
When the guardianship was created, June was required to pay her mom $100 a month in child support. But fast forward to 2009, when the Henry County D.A. filed criminal contempt charges against June, claiming she was way behind on her payments -- $4,144.62 behind.

I think I don't hold parents in general to such impossible high standards of morality and decorum. I simply ask that you be kind to your kids, not abuse them, and give them a childhood that is positive and happy. Maybe because I have seen some of the worst abuse you can imagine, my standards for the general population are not so strident. I just really don't care about such banter or think it makes somebody a bad parent.
Now, would I have different standards for myself, my immediate family, my significant other? Of course. But we're not the general population or some random parent I encounter. My circle is more intimate and the standards are higher. But Jon is not in my inner circle nor are the vast majority of parents.
I'm fond of a judge who said "We take these families as they come." What he means by that is we shouldn't impose our own standards on these families or we'd be taking all of the children away in LA County. If it's abuse, that's one thing. If it's a different parenting style or life choices, that's another and those families can and do get booted out of our court and sent on their way.
And I still think that women objectify, stereotype, making sweeping negative statements about men all....the....time. But for some reason, it's okay when women do it and not sexism or crass. We have nicknames for Steve that are pretty harsh, but I think they're funny.

Exactly. My post from last night not having made it thru for some reason...this is exactly what I was saying. Banter among friends is one thing, saying it to a reporter is something else.
Jon doesn't seem to have good sense of when behaviors should stay private and what is ok to say or do in front of reporters. As in the peeing the driveway incident.
I get the feeling that Jon's true self is pretty crass and immature, albeit a far better parent than TFW. TFW doesn't seem to realize that being a child abuser is a far far worse thing than being crass.

He very much doesn't seem to care what the press or the public thinks. I guess this could be a good thing.
I think everyone agrees he's no Miss Manners. But it seems to me there's basically two camps here. One who really doesn't care or is bothered by the things he blurts out (I'm in this group), and the other who thinks it does matter. There's probably not much meeting in the middle.

Bravo to both paragraphs! Spot on. Well said.
Be kind to your children and not abuse them. Not too much to ask, is it?
I think that TFW thinks that she is by far the better parent because she isn't crass (and has money). She has absolutely no understanding of what a good parent is. None.

Exactly.
I worked for a classy (well, in public), well put together., well mannered parent. I never heard so much as a "darn" come out of her mouth. There was never a hair out of place. Nails perfectly manicured, skin shone. The dinner table was perfect. Flowers in the centerpiece, fine china, a healthy well balanced meal with icecream for dessert. Never a toy out in the perfectly white living room. Awards and trophies adorned the house. I cannot say they did not frequently say please and thank you, even to those they disliked. There was nothing wrong with their manners or decorum.
Yet she was a piss poor mother whose children were desperate for her time, attention and love their entire lives and continuing. I think that heavily influenced my perception of what really makes a good parent. Because it sure ain't manners.
If some of you are so bothered by your assumption that Jon is "crass and immature" why do you continue to read articles and watch clips of said behavior? Seriously...too funny... As if that has anything to do with his parenting skills. Also, I am going to assume that Kim K's recent "photo session" really, really, really bothers you??
The thing is too Kate is so classless in her own way. There are dozens of examples of this. The difference is she doesn't seem to know it or own it.
I think a lot of her hatred for Jon is because he embarrasses her and interferes with the way she has tried to reinvent herself. He is not part of the new Kate, and that is forever annoying to her.
I think Jon has always been Jon and I think she was a somewhat rebellious young woman who fell "in love" with him both for his looks, his family money and his wild side. The second she tried to differentiate herself as some sort of poor man's Martha Stewart he was suddenly an embarrassment and inconvenience to her. She hates him in part because it's embarrassing for her to be reminded that she has not always been as classy as she wants people to think she is. She picked him, and she hates that inconvenient truth.

Me either...LOL..some of the best people I know could be characterized as "crass". It's what is in your heart and how you treat people that count with me.
It's seems like TLC is getting worse and worse day by day and this is the stuff we know about thanks 2 the media.
I'm frighted to think what TLC is hiding and has gotten away with due having CA agreements and tons of money/lawyers.
God help these poor innocent children.
Some one needs to protect these kids from their greedy parents and employer.
Money does not give you class. Neither Jon nor Kate exhibit class; they both never had it and despite Kate's attempts, she comes off as nasty because she hasn't a clue. Jon is Jon. She scoped him out, captured him, and then tossed him aside when he would not do her bidding. I don't believed he embarrassed her because she is the same as him.

Kate's pedigree will never change and Jon reminds her that she is still the same rural(ish) PA, average, middle-middle class, farmland girl with nothing special to set her apart, besides the fake Barbie look that she's cultivated to cover up Katie Kreider.
(no offense to rural(ish) PA and the wonderful people there- I'm from PA and enjoyed living in cow patty country Bucks County a whole lot!)
You know why I don't really care about or am offended by Jon's comments? He doesn't try to portray himself as the be all, end all, perfect parent. He just seems to be Jon, warts and all, a dad who loves his kids.
Wow....good article by Dr. Glass re her opinion of TLC's obligations in the Honey Boo Boo mess. The same could be said of their obligations to the Gosselins, IMO.

Your ex-employer so mirrors Kate.
Exteriorly, perfection. Internally, a very shallow emotional pool to pull from if she had one child, let alone 8.
I think that Kate, like others, feel that they need to look the perfect part, their house and children included, in order to deal with their insecurities and anxieties.
One ounce of external disorder and they fall apart.
I think we all have different levels of maturity as a guy Jon isn't to mature-(with dating & partying) but as a father he seems pretty grounded.
My mom is 64 she pretty silly her personality is easy going and she easy to get along with but as a mother her parenting has always been good.

And there we have the crux of the problem between the two of them.
She thinks she's oh so fine. He thinks he's Jon, take him or leave him.And good for him.
I think that's where the problem came in with the show. TFW wanted to evolve into a movie 'stah'. Jon didn't want to evolve into anything. He wanted to stay who he was. So she dumped him.
Yet she was a piss poor mother whose children were desperate for her time, attention and love their entire lives and continuing.
And there we have a good TFW description. And the anti-thesis of Jon.

And also the reasons she is attracted to Steve....his looks, his money, his non-wild side. In her mind Steve is classy, gigantic steps above Jon.
What we've seen filmed/pictured is Steve being cold and uncaring to the children. OTH, we've seen Jon being warm and loving to the children.
In my mind, TFW isn't any better than Mama June (she just has more money). She's choosing her man over her children.

This is one of the biggest take-aways I've got from this blog.
It really comes down to the love and care that a parent gives.
Other behaviors that I wouldn't do don't make Jon or others bad parents.
Every family is different.

I don't think that she had too far to fall. You can dress them up and all that, but trash is trash.
My take on the Kim Kardashin pics: The Kardashins, are greedy/shameless people, have very little morals, no class, no shame and are takers, who give very little in return. They love the limelight & fame and don't care how they get it.
And therefore have have no right to complain if people critized them, they choose this. JMO.
I can't understand how TLC could not have known about Mama June's past encounter with Georgia prosecutors including her mug shot. It is fairly easy for average people to do some research of individuals these days and, with the resources which TLC have at their disposal, a background check on this family would have revealed what we have lately been reading about.
Mama June has gone from saying the four daughters are by four different men to that two of the girls are by the same deviant father. As well as the oldest daughter was sexually abused which resulted in her losing custody but she didn't know about the abuse until 2 years ago.
Just for good measure on the pity media tour, judging by the ET interview last night, it appears that tonight she is going to 'hint' that she has a health problem which 'might' be cancer.

Agree, but June got a lot of attention and traction from the HBB show.
So, really, unbelievably, she did have far to fall.
She (like Kate) made many appearances with and without HBB, wrote a book, "How To Honey Boo Boo", which included her "famous" sketti" recipe.
Now, here's a pig of a woman, in every sense, getting treated like a star, like she's interesting and has something to offer. Also, she's known as "Mama June", implying that she's just a good ole' Southern Mama which lent her this "cred" of being a good mother- someone to be admired and put on a pedestal.
Well, I could never understand why anyone didn't see the the Emperor had no clothes. Never did. Nope.
How people became fans of June stymied me.
It just goes to show that anyone can be a "stah" these days, and the odder and weirder and dumber you are, the higher you rise, as some turds do.
Here's June making her "skettis" on the Wendy Williams Show.

Well, I recall quite a number of comments praising June (some on this blog, many elsewhere), saying that she was a diamond in the rough. People thought that while she had poor manners and was crude and crass, that she was still a good mother and that made it all right. They would shrug off the fact that she gave HBB highly caffeinated power drinks to pep her up for beauty pageants, etc. They ignored the junk food diet. They disregarded the burping and farting contests, and all the other really tasteless behavior. It was okay, because she was allegedly putting all the TLC money into trusts for the children, and she "had a good heart," and was just "being herself."
Those defenders have gone silent and I imagine they are feeling terribly duped. Unlike Kate's defenders, if June still has any fans, they are pretty much keeping quiet about it. After all, it's pretty hard to defend a woman who allowed one daughter to be molested by a live in boyfriend, only to secretly pine away for him while he was in prison and reunite with him the moment he got out. Not to mention, she allows him around her daughters now.
So she did fall quite a bit. Hard to believe that she had a fan base, but she did and now that's gone (or gone silent, because who wants to publicly claim to be a fan of someone who allows a child molester around her kids?).
I do wish people would raise the bar higher again, as to who they find acceptable on tv. Surely we can do better than people like Kate, or June, or any of those housewives.
In fact, as women, we ought to demand better. Do we want these women representing moms and wives, sisters and daughters?

I think we all have different levels of maturity as a guy Jon isn't to mature-(with dating & partying) but as a father he seems pretty grounded.
My mom is 64 she pretty silly her personality is easy going and she easy to get along with but as a mother her parenting has always been good.

Excellent point. I think Jon is like many men I know - in that they do not like being single/being on their own. So when Jon is single, he may go out drinking, either to help with the feelings of loneliness or in hopes he might meet a nice lady. If he were to ask my advice, I'd suggest trying to meet women at other places besides a bar. For example, since he loves to ski and snowboard, maybe he ought to try being a ski instructor for awhile. (My boss met his second wife that way and they just celebrated 30 years of marriage.) He should focus on activities that mean something to him, and thus increase the chances of meeting a woman who shares his interests. But he's not asking for my advice LOL.
There are plenty of flaky people out there, but that doesn't mean they can't also be wonderful, loving parents. The main thing is just to be there for your kids, give them unconditional love and guidance, listen to them, share in their joys and successes, praise them when they do well, comfort them when things go wrong, and mostly - just be there. From what I saw on the show and the tidbits we get here and there, it seems to me that Jon fits that description.

Kate's pedigree will never change and Jon reminds her that she is still the same rural(ish) PA, average, middle-middle class, farmland girl with nothing special to set her apart, besides the fake Barbie look that she's cultivated to cover up Katie Kreider.
*************
You know what's ironic, is that Kate was quite attractive as a rural(ish) average PA young mom. Once she started making herself over, including nips and tucks and this and that, she lost that fresh natural prettiness, and she'll never get that back. She became generic, and no longer stands out in a crowd.
Oh Kate, didn't anyone ever tell you to be careful what you wish for?

I think I don't hold parents in general to such impossible high standards of morality and decorum. I simply ask that you be kind to your kids, not abuse them, and give them a childhood that is positive and happy.

I agree. Very well said.

Oh, my gosh. It was rain and snow showers, less than a quarter inch. It didn't even stick to the roads. It was just wet. Today everything is bone dry like nothing even happened.

She's just nuts. So snowflakes fell from the sky.
OHMUHGAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWD!!!!!!!!!!
As if Kate will be pushing a snowblower down her 1/4 mile long driveway.
I wonder if the wittle, iddy, biddy snowfwakes destroyed more twees??

Well, she does stand out in a crowd if she goes to Target rocking those halter tops, daisy dukes and hooker heels!
I really am disappointed, though, that she didn't play the martyr today, tweeting that she is snowed in, the power went out, and she's waiting for the plows to arrive! Why in the world does she need 250 pounds of ice melt? To walk from the front door to the garage? She has a plowing person come to shovel and open the driveway when it snows. I seriously doubt that she goes out and spreads ice melt on that entire driveway!
Interesting article about custody.
