I was watching Shark Tank and then the CA repeat came on. The look on kate's face when Vivica said that she shouldn't be fired, and then Trump asked her who she thought should be fired and she said, Shawn. The look on her went to oh **** to HA HA! that dopey grin, slowly bobbing head.
When they gathered in the lounge? to get the Chock full of O'nuts task when they were told and Trump said, GO! everyone with kate was walking and kate just stood there about 5 to 10 seconds and slowly put her hands together with the look of love, admiration, joy, happiness.
Thanks Sue Buddy, "It's been almost 4 years since Kate got her Twitter account. Back then, Milo tweeted that her daughter ("the girl" as she says) was 12, "the boy" was 16. So they're aging appropriately."
Guess it just seemed like years lol so we should be be in for a 'sweet sixteen party' very soon.
Just thinking about the Montana Big Sisters (MBS) visiting, and wondering what TFW's list (book?) of rules looked like. It's one thing to tell some minimum-wage stranger not to let your ex-husband on the property, but can you imagine writing that down for someone who actually knows the man? Because if these women have known the kids since they were born, surely they know Jon.
I don't think anyone disagrees that the person isn't a disgusting human being. Vile doesn't even begin to describe her tweets, and I agree with you that no proof has been shown as to what exactly those DMs contained. I also agree that the young girl should have known better than to tweet with a stranger. Em's a bragger who meets stars by paying for meet and greets, or through the VIP Nation tickets, which cost a small fortune. &&&
I don't follow twitter close enough to know exactly what vile behavior toward the fans organics has done however I will say Em certainly did NOT stay out of the BV mess in the past. She may have cheered them on with a cute smile but I really don't care how you dress it up, supporting what is going on is the same as doing it yourself.
&&& I just PROVE that on #CelebApprentice?If asked,I simply tell truth! #WhatAmIMissing? &&&
Very typical of somebody not very self-aware. She really can't see what everybody else sees. What is she missing, indeed. I almost, ALMOST feel sorry for her when I see that she apparently truly doesn't understand what the problem is with her performance on that show.
look at how whiney and mouthy the kids are! If they were being abused or afraid of their mother, they would never behave like this.
***
I disagree. How are abused children supposed to behave?
&&&&
Yes, correct. Abused children behave in all sorts of ways. Some withdrawn, some are whiny and mouthy, some act out in a variety of other ways. Proves nothing that they're whiny and mouthy.

This is news to me. Are there tweets that you can direct me to? Never have I seen a tweet directed to her from any of the BV terrorists nor have I seen her name even mentioned in tweets or on blogs on the subject.
I will say this, with regard to: "but I really don't care how you dress it up, supporting what is going on is the same as doing it yourself," is exactly why I don't condone or defend what organics did.
Sue I couldn't tell you the exact tweets but I distinctly remember thinking after Em threw down her support for BV well gee the so called sweet and innocent fan is not so much.

If time allows, maybe I'll try and find some of her old tweets. While I definitely don't defend what she did, the payback has to, some day, somewhere in time, come to an end, otherwise this inane war, with little meaning to the big picture picture of life, will continue for another 9 or more years
Kate's aTwit posted TFW's Twitter saying something about Collin "hoarding all his boxers" (jan 27). Obviously a ploy to deflect from the earlier shared underwear comment. Tried to copy/paste but can't get the hang of it.
Admin and Sue--Emily definitely supported Bullyville. Here are some tweets she made that included @Bullyville. Of course, since that account is gone you can't see what she's replying to, but you can get an idea.
I don't get Kate's tweet, "I had NO idea where kids were" I'm guessing its a cop out now that she was confronted with her own words (answer) to Wendy Williams question. So if she says now that "She had no idea," why did she know that Jon didn't watch the kids when she spoke to Wendy?
" Wait for it! Kate will have her Super Bowl food pics soon. Like clockwork. Like those kids really want to watch football. How many of you out there really watch the supper bowl? It's usually the guys and their friends, unless it's the home team playin."
I watch every minute of it every year, just like I watch pro football all day Sunday, and as many college games as I can on Saturdays during the season..my whole family does. Go Buckeyes!!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but as an observer on twitter, I don't see this person really aligned with anyone. The account kinda seems like a lone wolf. They may follow each other, but other than that, I don't know. I don't know all the players in the twitter wars.

Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 · 19h 19 hours ago @MiloandJack I had NO idea 'where kids were' was anything but a ? in passing..gave100%truth as usual #EndOfDiscussion #DAILYPayStubs2Prove
Kate wasn't saying she had no idea where the kids were. She was saying that she had no idea that the question about where the kids were would lead to such controversy. It was just an offhand question asked of her, and she answered it truthfully(ha ha).
Oh that's right, cameras! Another opportunity to throw the childrens father under the bus, with how Wendy phrased the question. And "a ? In passing?" What the hell does that mean? What, I answered some/most honestly...? What?
reader: I agree Kate's reaction to Mady's Zorro painting was all out of proportion, as was her freak-out to the paint. What did she expect? It was weird how she giggled and pranced, snapping pictures of the mediocre painting, but was not concerned that the bird was up there. He could have got lost or ill from the paint, as was discussed before.
Also ,no one enjoyed the pumpkin throwing game she masterminded- no one wanted her on their team and Cara gave quite a few choice words about TFW and her rules and need to control. Then TFW said how much everyone loved it?? Does she not think the viewers have eyes and ears? She blames the kids' behavior on the fact that they are indeed, kids- not her horrible parenting.
Readerlady: I am still waiting for my copy of the PG book! I am anxious to read it and am sure i will find it very interesting. Was yours from Amazon?
Where is TFW getting the childcare from, the Home Depot parking lot? January 31, 2015 at 5:43 AM ***** Ha! It's a bizarre way to describe "family" watching your kids.
Reader lady 169.. I am really enjoying the LIW book. You are correct that you can't read it cover to cover quickly. I was surprised at the physical size of the book and the 5 month wait for delivery was well worth it. An amazing woman who saw so much in her life time.
IF it's Jon's weekend, I'm sure he has to have the kids home at, say, 6PM at the latest--well before the game starts. That gives Kate time to dole out her SuperFunSuperBowlSnackies on red plastic plates for her annual SuperFunSuperBowlPhotoshoot!
-------------------------------------------------
Sure hope she got the treadmill back in working order. As lore has it, Kate running on the treadmill while the kids mince on all the superfun snacks is all part of the SuperBowl fun!!
"Maybe Kate is really having money problems, and that is why she is thinking up new money making scams where she doesn't have to work? Seems like several celebrities have had scam charities, and none of them got into trouble over it?"
Found this post on ROL on the Kate story.. I made that comment here, and did not make it at Radar. Someone is copying our comments and posting them on ROL under "guest.". I have noticed quite a few of the comments from here over there the past couple of days.
I got a good laugh the other day. Apparently some of the BV minions are going to set up a non-profit for the purpose of funding lawsuits against the haters on twitter. They are going to use these funds to pay lawyers to subpoena twitter and find out the real names of the haters. It is so LOL!!
Ziggy has a post about it and she sounded like this is going to answer their prayers! How many people are going to donate? I can't stop laughing!!
It amazes me, the variety of tactics sKate uses to bring the attention back to herself when someone else is in the spotlight. Join a team and beat little kids, throw an OCD fit when Jon and the kids are having fun carving pumpkins, burst into tears when things get tough, hand flapping, yelling, head nodding, freaking out that she's afraid, making faces, verbal diarrhea. The list goes on and on. She MUST be the center of attention.
She did it on CA and she does it constantly on the kid's show.
OT, I spend Saturday afternoons folding laundry and cheering for Notre Dame during the FB season.
I'll be hosting a party and watching the Super Bowl. There will be a two year old attending and I won't be making her sit on a line on the floor with a dixie cup of treats.
Emeril Lagasse's Pulled Pork, with my coleslaw, home-made buns (takes bow) and tiramisu for dessert. (made by me as well) Top that, sKate? Oh, wait, you hit Emeril with a big spoon. You win!
With all this talk about TFW perhaps starting some program to help other families, I can't help but think of that old saying about the shoemaker's kids going barefoot. Imagine if this thing comes to pass, and she manages to leave town for speaking engagements and/or personal appearances to do fundraising. So the alleged "single mom" would be leaving her 8 children alone, to give "hope" to other single moms? Yeah, this has the TFW Reverse Midas Touch written all over it.
"How many of you out there really watch the supper bowl?" Being that I am not a fan of the game, I won't be watching it, closely. It will be on in the house, I am sure I'll see some of it. And though I love New England (the region), my mother's people are from Connecticut, I dont like the ownership/management of the Patriots.
A lot of people, an increasing number of women in this country are passionate about the sport.
Kate's enthusiasm. ...not even goin there.
I do luvs me some NE clam chowder though! And Vermont maple syrup...cheddar? ! Fo'get about it!

I watch every minute of it every year ***** I'm a huge football fan, and we have "must watch" games when our teams play, but I don't think I went to a Super Bowl party until my teens or 20's. I didn't follow football, nor did I know what the hell was going on, so why would I want it on my tv as a kid? I can see if your parents are super into it, and as a kid, you get to tag along with the experience. But, to make kids watch it is stupid and simply a photo op. I'm guessing what's in it for the kids is eating fun food. Doubt they even know who's playing.

I was surprised at the physical size of the book and the 5 month wait for delivery was well worth it. An amazing woman who saw so much in her life time. ***** Wow, sounds like quite the tome! I don't know much about the subject, but it's really neat that people here can connect over it and share.
About LIW, she was born in Feb. 7, 1867 and died Feb. 10, 1957. She went from horses and wagons, to cars, to airplanes and to missing the first manned space flight by the Soviets in April, 1961, by 4 years!
Rose Wilder was born Dec. 5, 1886 and died Oct. 30, 1968. The Apollo moon space mission was on July 20, 1969. Rose missed the landing by 6 months! Horses and wagons, to cars, to planes, to seeing the Soviets, but missed the moon landing.
Second, why would she get the tup girls vanities and place them so high they could not even look in the mirror? Do they need a guest room with the garage suite? That little room could be for the girls to spread out a bit more than in that small room for the three.Maybe they'd get along better with more room. Amazing a mansion is too small!
..............................
Isn't that a detached garage? Unless they added some way to connect the two, I would not want them having to get out in the weather to get to their room.
Could it be that they intentionally chose a place with small bedrooms? If they had already decided against any more filming in bedrooms, they might be thinking less "wasted" space.
I do luvs me some NE clam chowder though! And Vermont maple syrup...cheddar? ! Fo'get about it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Someone posted that they said they saw maple syrup in kates pantry that was real expensive? Did she have a bunch of them? ----------
I remember seeing the maple syrup because there was so much of it - maybe 10 jugs - and because it looked like the kind we buy (we just get one small jug) when we go to Vermont in early autumn. Maple syrup comes in all grades and prices but I'm guessing the one she had was maybe $20 a jug. And there's no way she'd spend $$ on it. #grifter If someone can get a closer look it would be pretty easy to price.
Does anyone think that they will show Jon driving the BBB with all the kids from the yard sale? They would have to. Are they just going to show it winding down with the kids still there and then show scenes with out the kids and kate doing the voiceover saying what a success it was raising money for the animal rescue?
IF this actually happened: I would love to see Steve walking in the background over to Jon when he was with the kids and Steve supposedly said, Time for them to go over to their mother? or something like that. And Jon supposedly said, You don't tell my kids what to do and Steve walks off.
She did it on CA and she does it constantly on the kid's show.
PJ ******* I thought so much about Vanessa's posts and how much it relates to her behavior on K+8 and CA. Remember the NYC episodes, with Kate waiving like the queen from the top of the bus, running with ice cream and screaming?
Emeril Lagasse's Pulled Pork, with my coleslaw, home-made buns (takes bow) and tiramisu for dessert. (made by me as well) Top that, sKate? Oh, wait, you hit Emeril with a big spoon. You win!
PJ ****** Nice spread! We might see if some neighbors want to come over, and I've got enough around her to pull some goodies together.
Bill said... 152 I do feel sorry for her for the recent events though. Poor girl.
8888888888888888888888888
I'm missing something here. What I saw was a 20 yr old, flapping her gums and flaunting the fact that she was a G insider. I don't know what possessed her to send the DMs, nor do I know for sure what the content was, but the last thing I feel is pity for her.
The other party involved may be the nastiest person on the face of the earth, but that doesn't necessarily make her a liar. As for the tabloids not picking up the story, I find it hard to believe they consider anything to be hitting below the belt. And as I stated earlier today, I think it's possible that there's been a quid pro quo deal set up between the powers that be.
...............................
I did not see the offending tweets, but the tabloids may not have thought they got anything which they have not previously reported.
She got an unexpected crash course on how bad the 'Net can be. Her mistake was using DM instead of public tweets to defend her queen - whatever was said or not said cannot be proven. Anyone even slightly familiar with editing tools can doctor up a screenshot to make it say anything. Why was she following that cow anyway? Isn't reciprocal following necessary to DM?
She was naive and giddy from appearing on the show. A deadly combination leading to irrational thinking. Kate would be right to cut Emily off from future access to the family for that serious lapse in judgment.
Bill, I meant if they needed a guest room, the guest could use the garage, not the little room next to the tups' new room.Kate is planning it to be the new 'official guest room' she said. That room I thought would be nice for the girls to use for the vanities, clothes, projects etc,or just to get away a bit from sisters. I didn't mean the kids should go outside to their bedroom, oops! How many guests do they have! We know Jamie sleeps with Kate, and then Steve??
I think Jon and Kate originally said the small bedrooms were nice just for sleeping basically so they could keep an eye on the children in the larger 'public' rooms, but also they could 'disperse' more easily, too. As usual, it didn't quite make sense!
Does anyone have a link to the most recent episode? I don't watch the show live, and checked You Tube but not seeing it, other than having to register to view, which I am not into.
Thanks! I checked TLC and didn't see it, but really don't want to give them hits either.
...........................
The first two episodes are up; two users uploaded them. Go search for "kate plus 8" and the words new and england for the first one. Rocking and boat for the second. Room and project should snag the third if it ever shows up. TLC has all three of them up on YT, but you have to pay to see them and they register the hit.

Yeah, this has the TFW Reverse Midas Touch written all over it. ******** I always find it ironic when Kate gets praised out the wazoo for being such an uber mom, whilst hundreds or thousands of miles away from them. She's made a job out of talking about being a mom, more than actually being a mom. Then, when she is actually home, all she can do is bitch and complain about how overwhelmed she is, and how much she needs a break.
I'm beginning to think that her kids are so loud and act out because they are on hyperactive overdrive when she's physically there- it's like the intensity has to be turned up because they only get to have her home for so long, before she leaves again.
Someone posted that they said they saw maple syrup in kates pantry that was real expensive? Did she have a bunch of them? ******* Maple syrup can get expensive, but I find it at Costco, Home Goods and Tuesday Morning at affordable prices. Anything else is sugar water with maple flavoring, so I'm glad I don't see Aunt Jemima on her table. There's maple syrup, and there's everything else.
Thinking more about this, the move may be good for the boys. When they were upstairs, everyone can hear if they got rambunctious. In the basement, they are out of earshot for anything short of setting off firecrackers.
I easily envision the boys celebrating, "We are the boys...and this is our mancave."

Apparently, anyone wandering onto the church property passed signs that said they agreed to be filmed if there. So, Jon was filmed, I'm sure. I do recall reading that Steve seemed to go over and talk to Jon, maybe telling him to stay back? Don't know, but Jon went right up to the tables. His history with TLC is so bad, though, that I don't know if they'll show him.
Hope it is Jon's turn this weekend. Clearly, Kate knows nothing about football other than it is something some men do when the commercials are not running.
&&&&&&&&

Good point. It is a "school night" after all and if they waited until the game was over to go home, it will be past ten-ish before they got there.
Does the woman who sold about 5000 crookbooks actually think she can head up any organization and be successful?
Wow. Good luck with that.
PJ
P.S. I'm from a family of 12, so putting out food for 10 guests is a walk in the park. I could do it with one wooden spoon tied behind my back. She makes such a big deal about cooking. I don't get it. ;)

Maybe she buys it there. I agree with you about maple syrup. There's a great little restaurant not far from me that makes incredible pancakes and waffles, better than anything I've had. But because the cost of pure maple syrup is so high, they were using the fake stuff. When we'd eat there, we'd bring our own syrup (shades of Seinfeld!!) and the owners were fine with it. Last time we went, they began serving the real stuff, but charge $1.00 extra per person if you'd rather have that over the sugar syrup.

..............................
Seeing the words old, shoemaker and kids so closely together caused me to remember this:
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children, she didn't know what to do; She gave them some broth without any bread; Then whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.
And since she's piecing and patching, why not one of her 4 siblings? I think all those people she has alienated, family, friends and those in the area who became new friends just from hearing the story and volunteered help. The sheer numbers. All gone. Fly women in from Montana, while some siblings, previous caretakers live close by.
Kate is a twit said... 16 Admin and Sue--Emily definitely supported Bullyville. Here are some tweets she made that included @Bullyville. Of course, since that account is gone you can't see what she's replying to, but you can get an idea. :::::
Thanks for finding those tweets.
Reading them still doesn't change what I said above. It's all becoming so eye-for-an-eye for some.
Now it seems there's a fundraiser going on to pay for lawyers to hunt down haters? Hope Zig can get Kate to contribute a hefty sum. After all, Kate's the one who brought BV and his thugs into this whole mess. Not fair the poor handful of fans have to shoulder the whole financial burden and I certainly wouldn't want to turn over my hard earned dollars to "Porno Puppy." LOL
Kate is a Twit, I lost my driver's license 17 years ago. Could you find it for me?
Seriously, you are amazing! You should be working at the White House or something. Library of Congress. I bow to your excellence. Thank you for always being able to put your hands on what we need here.
Reader (#59), I think you make a good point about everyone TFW has alienated. She says she doesn't hold a grudge -- so where did those people go? Is she not still holding a grudge against Jodi and Kevin? They worked with Rep. Murt to help create legislation that would insure children's best interests. Is TFW against children's best interests? If not, why not let go of that grudge and let the children have their aunt, uncle and cousins back in their lives?
After all, Kate's the one who brought BV and his thugs into this whole mess. Not fair the poor handful of fans have to shoulder the whole financial burden and I certainly wouldn't want to turn over my hard earned dollars to "Porno Puppy." 60
Didn't he post all that info on his website at one point? You'd think that with their obsession with screenshots at least one of the sheeple would have it saved. Not that I think any of this should continue but I doubt it's going anywhere. Porn puppy indeed.
Speaking of puppies (OT warning) Roo, my Georgia rescue, finally ventured out into our 2plus feet snow. Slowly, one step at a time. Made it halfway across the back yard before bolting back to the porch. BTW, thanks for the heads up about Safety Paws. For anyone wondering why I'm not walking her, I can't. Turns out it's not RA but spinal. More tests to come.
P.S. I'm from a family of 12, so putting out food for 10 guests is a walk in the park. I could do it with one wooden spoon tied behind my back. She makes such a big deal about cooking. I don't get it. ;) ***** Even if you were a singleton, you'd get up to speed cooking for 10 pretty quick. She's been at this for 10 years- should be wrote by now, and as you say, do it with one Spanker tied behind your back.
When we'd eat there, we'd bring our own syrup (shades of Seinfeld!!) and the owners were fine with it. Last time we went, they began serving the real stuff, but charge $1.00 extra per person if you'd rather have that over the sugar syrup. ******* Shades of Elf!! I grew up with the likes of Aunt Jemima, and had no idea what I was missing! I also grew up with margarine, and butter was always a huge treat.
FlimsyFlamsy, we're on the same page. And Kate's refusal or blindness to all of her contradicting statements go on forever. I remember reading once about phrases liars tend to use frequently. Her absolutes, "100% truth...I always. ..I never." The constant innuendo and half truths. I can't believe anyone trusts her
I don't think she has changed. The paint on the floor in the recent episode was just like the gum in the bear, how many years ago. Only difference no adult around to disagree or even buffer the situation.
Oh, geez...cow/organics is back. Kind of like a bad case of jock itch (not that I ever had it!).
"Admin and Sue--Emily definitely supported Bullyville. Here are some tweets she made that included @Bullyville. Of course, since that account is gone you can't see what she's replying to, but you can get an idea."

Well her rich parents donate to the fund?
"Good point. It is a "school night" after all and if they waited until the game was over to go home, it will be past ten-ish before they got there."
+++++++++
If they wait until later, they might have to sleep at his house. We're expecting a heavy snowfall here, starting in the afternoon and lasting into Monday. Most likely there will be a delay and they'll get to sleep in.
"Could it be that they intentionally chose a place with small bedrooms? If they had already decided against any more filming in bedrooms, they might be thinking less "wasted" space."
++++++++++++++
I doubt it. The square footage was there, and they were looking for privacy as well as acreage. There weren't too many properties in the area with 20 some acres at that time.
Sue_Buddy said... 2 Annabelle said... 192 Is it just me or has Milo's daughter been 15 for years ? ::::::
It's been almost 4 years since Kate got her Twitter account. Back then, Milo tweeted that her daughter ("the girl" as she says) was 12, "the boy" was 16. So they're aging appropriately ------ Too bad the same can't be said for Milo!
As usual, he said/she said. I don't give a hoot who the kids were with when and for how long. I really don't.
&&&&
Exactly. The point for me is that Kate couldn't simply let Jon say whatever, who cares--her hatred of him consumes her and she just HAD to throw him under the bus, repeatedly.
I think the reality was she didn't hear about Jon's interview and didn't realize he spilled the beans about what really happened when it came to custody during her stint on CA. Then she just got defensive about the story she put out there. Perhaps the Montana friends did house sit or help with the twins or get the kids to NYC. Perhaps that was not significant enough to Jon to make his "like" 3 weeks untrue.. Like so many things, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
Of all of the women who were on CA, I think she is trying to emulate Leeza. Well-spoken, intelligent, classy and low-drama--isn't that the image she has been trying to sell?
&&&
Totally agree. I think this business idea for single moms is her way to be doing her own thing like Leeza does. Only she won't think it through will be lazy won't follow through and it'll fail. The only sad/funny part about it is it took her this long to notice this is what so many other celebs do. She had to actually have women doing this thrown in her face to catch on.
Ian said in his tweet that while some may take his game playing personal, that is brought there by their own ego's.
Huh. Wonder who he might be talking about....that woman who was so wound about the girl drama?
He goes on to say that it's just a game, but a game in which only one person remains standing. And his goal was to win at every task, so that he could be the last man standing, thus winning the most $ for his charity.
Someone else's goal was to be seen as a celebrity (and away from her kids). Raising $ for her charity was last on the list, if it was even on the list.
Camp who? Oh. I have to raise money? From who? Waddya mean you didn't give a pre-vetted list of people to call?
I think that TFW needs to decide whether it's more important that Jon earn money so that he isn't a 'deadbeat dad' (not that I'm saying that he is), or if it's more important that he have absolutely NONE of the limelight.
Look how she freaks when she thinks anyone is trying to step into the spotlight with her.
Her actions so far have said that it's most important to her that he not have any celebrity. The fact that she & TLC took away his means of earning a good income was just a bonus.
If it was truly important to her that he contribute financially, why not let him do the Divorced Dads thing? Or have TLC pay for him to go to school and get some kind of formal education? They could have even filmed it.
Is there any proof that Jon exchanged no child support for allowing Kate to film the kids without objection?

Not only is there no proof, but it would be illegal to cook up such an arrangement according to PA's own laws. You cannot "bargain away" child support in the great state of PA and in most other states. It is calculated completely separate from everything else.
Sadly I think you're right...I should have thought of that . There was a bed with what looked like a cow hide thing on it already in place.I thought maybe that was one of the twins' bed but they have those wooden beds they had as kids... I'm still duped I guess! *
I just got my Pioneer Girl book! Will start it tonight !
* Dog update : my dog (cockapoo) is 2 weeks post-op hemi-laminectomy. She can stand several seconds, walk a few wobbly steps, and knows when she has to urinate/defecate and it distresses her to go in her bed- she cries & shakes, but she is not always successful when outside.( almost 3 feet and another foot expected Sun-Mon.) This is very tiring ! Our post-op check-up was disappointing given the $ we paid: the neurosurgeon, after removing her stitches, came out to the waiting room, and still standing, said she was in the normal recovery range although he would have liked to see more walking ability. The L side is quite weak. That was it! So I am being a little more aggressive but doesn't that contradict the strict crate rest? Doing our best, mainly me as my husband and kids work.Range of motion 4 x a day. and all the things you've all suggested plus what I know/read.
Any more thoughts? I hope she improves, as we were told a good 90 % chance of full recovery. Poor very fuzzy baby.(needs grooming!)
I think that TFW needs to decide whether it's more important that Jon earn money so that he isn't a 'deadbeat dad' (not that I'm saying that he is), or if it's more important that he have absolutely NONE of the limelight.
&&&
Yes, and I'm afraid she's decided.
She also needs to decide whether it's more important she hate Jon and convince everybody else to hate him too, or whether it's more important she encourage a loving and positive relationship with his children, which includes not tolerating her own fans feeding the parental alienation, and to stop lying about his role and stop trashing him in general.
Kate is a twit said... 17 Does anyone find this tweet from Milo beyond creepy?
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Yes, but no more creepy than other tweets that comment on Kate's rockin' bikini body, great physique, and all of the questions about her bedtime. Maybe Gladys just really likes the Cowardly Lion look. I wonder if she copied that photo and framed it for her bedroom montage collection. Poor LOM. Lying on his back at night, looking at the ceiling, only to see TFW and her good bra staring back at him.

I'm curious how the whole donation aspect is going to be "played" on the show Tuesday. Sounds like originally a portion of the proceeds (or "prodceeds" for us old timers) was going to be donated to the shelter, but then it was all of it? If that decision is made on camera, that doesn't mean it wasn't scripted. But of course the fans will never understand that. They think it's a documentary. Oh, TFW has spontaneously decided to play a superfun pumpkin game with her kids! She comes up with the best ideas! And luckily the TLC cameras were there to capture the fun!
Here's my snarky prediction. Just as the sale is ending, and TFW has used the word "exhausted" for the 17th time, a 3-legged stunt dog (hired by TLC) hops into frame, and ol' animal-lovin' TFW starts to weep, and decides on the spot to donate all of the money to the shelter! Yay animals! Yay TFW! Oh, the kudos she'll get from the fans, who will conveniently forget that TFW was paid for the episode, and that much of what she sold was given to her.

+++++++++++++
True, and the fans are too stupid to realize that if such a deal was made, then their idol had a part in it, which would mean that she participated in something not sanctioned by the courts. In fact, it would be illegal.
If they had any ounce of intelligence, they wouldn't go stating this as "deal" as fact. I can't believe that there isn't at least one among them who would understand even the "basics" of child support laws in PA.
So nice that she put her child's underwear hoarding out there for public mocking. Lovely. Having your mother (and a couple of siblings) snicker at you on national tv for your solution to a problem that *she* caused.
I still go back to the fact that nothing is their own. Even their food. They can't even go sit at the table and feel like that's their plate with the food that they chose.
Nope. They have to have it served prison style...the warden chooses the plate AND the food amount.
It's like they're being held hostage...which in many ways they are.
She decides everything, and she takes away anything personal, ipads, phones, etc. And she sees to it that they don't feel that they have anything that is their own. Everything is communal property, and she'll decide when/if they're allowed to use it.
Bobbi Kristina Brown, Whitney Houston's daughter was just found by her husband and his friend in the bathtub in their townhouse unresponsive. Paramedics were doing CPR at the house and she is in the hospital but breathing, but they don't know if it is on her own or a ventilator.
OT right now on espn2 university of Richmond is playing vcu. Check it out to see real excitement and amazing crowd energy. I'm not there today, the games I have been in the Siegel center for, you can hardly hear anything.. I wear earplugs when I go to games there. The crowd is unbelievable.
I have never seen such a sterile looking house. Those bedrooms were terrible. And it's not that she was going to decorate. We saw what their bedrooms looked like on CWS. Sterile.
Look at that little room that no one had moved out of yet. Not a thing in it but a little bed. Not even a decent size bed, with a nice bedspread on it, with a couple of pillows. Pathetic.
She does nothing to make that place feel like home.
Rhymes with Witch said... 66 Speaking of puppies (OT warning) Roo, my Georgia rescue, finally ventured out into our 2plus feet snow. Slowly, one step at a time. Made it halfway across the back yard before bolting back to the porch. BTW, thanks for the heads up about Safety Paws. For anyone wondering why I'm not walking her, I can't. Turns out it's not RA but spinal. More tests to come. ******* Thank you for the update. Lots of snow is challenging with dogs- keep us in the loop. (sharing grilled ham and cheese with my pups!)
National television saying the mean things she did to the boys while in their room, for all to see and hear...forever.Shaming them. She often speaks of her concern for the childrens "safety. " I'm guessing she is unaware of what words can do.
Kinda on topic, this link is to a story that gives one perspective of someone who grew up really with a single mother. It's a good story. cbssports.com/ncaab/feature/24862342/the-shaping-of-shaka
Formerly, thanks for the update on your pup. You must be exhausted, but I believe the worst is behind you.
Would your pup enjoy a nice brushing? I don't know if there are doggy dry shampoos out there, and I'm not sure if you could use people products. Maybe even just some doggy wipes would help her to feel better.
MissAmiaSays, welcome. Yes, there are some really funny folks around here. If you missed the "turning the cat back into a kitten" comment, well, all I can say is stick around, there's plenty more snark where that came from.
And welcome to all new posters. Admin, we're going to have to put an extension on the veranda. Maybe we could grift one from Home Depot.
Formerly -- I pre-ordered my PG book from Amazon, but I don't have it yet. I borrowed the copy I just read from the library. The S. Dakota Historical Society ordered a 50,000 initial print run, and were just overwhelmed with orders. Libraries and schools took precedence, so the rest of us are waiting for the subsequent print runs.

"How many of you out there really watch the supper bowl?" Being that I am not a fan of the game, I won't be watching it, closely. It will be on in the house, I am sure I'll see some of it. And though I love New England (the region), my mother's people are from Connecticut, I dont like the ownership/management of the Patriots. ***** Back in the day, I was a big 49er's fan, when Bill Walsh was the head coach, and Joe Montana and Jerry Rice were in their prime. It was such a great era for that team. Pro football may always have had more than their proportional share of real thugs on the teams, but I wasn't aware of it and I don't remember reading so much about domestic violence, drugs, guns, and other criminal acts by the players as I do today.
Because I'm aware now that the NFL has happily turned a blind eye and covered up criminal behavior by their players, I really don't care to watch the games anymore. However, my son and his friends do watch football, so it will be on in my house on Sunday too. I'm going to have chips and dip, sodas, homemade sub sandwiches and potato salad on the menu. Don't care who wins lol.

Doing our best, mainly me as my husband and kids work.Range of motion 4 x a day. and all the things you've all suggested plus what I know/read. ******* Thank you so much for the update. Thinking about you a lot! Although our Bichon pretty much had motor function return after just a few days, we were disappointed at his progress. SO! We took him to see a Rehabilitation Vet. Yes, there are Vets that specialize in that. Take him as soon as he is clear. You will get an in-depth evaluation and a plan to recover maximum function. You can recover more than you think, and you are still in the infantile stages post-surgery. https://www.rehabvets.org/
For me, and my background in rehab, I found it helpful, and I'm sure you will, too. Get another set of eyes. Ask... is the neural tissue free of pressure? (from the herniation). Can it recover (often it can)? What can I do to facilitate recovery? What is the window for recovery? What can I expect as far as bowel and bladder function?
This is where you need to look now. Surgeons do surgery, not so much rehab, especially when it's not easy ;)
I don't follow Twitter feeds, and the only blog about the Gosselins that I read is this one here. That saves me from having to read or see a whole bunch of nastiness. However, Emily is not some naive and innocent young lady. She apparently has mother issues, which is why I think she finds certain adult female celebs appealing. She has the financial means and opportunities to get a higher education, to choose an exciting career path, but that doesn't seem of much interest to her. She is a nice looking young lady and probably has her pick of any number of nice guys her own age, and that doesn't seem to interest her much either. Instead, she'd rather provide free babysitting to Kate and try to imitate her looks. Pretty sad.
She chose to engage with another Twitter follower. Whatever she said in her DMs may have unintentionally revealed private information about Kate. Dumb! Instead of stopping at one or two DM's, she apparently kept on responding. Dumber! She's in her early 20's - time to grow up and stop pretending that the Gosselin children are her precious little buddies. Time to stop idolizing people she doesn't really know and start thinking about a life path that involves people in her daily life, instead of celebrities that she imagines could have been her mother.
I am amused that some Kate defenders think they can raise enough money to hire a lawyer to sue other Twitter people who might say things that hurt their feelings. If they could scrape together enough for a one-hour consultation, I'd be surprised.
Formerly and PJ -- Ring 5 has a whole line of pet shampoos. I don't know about a dry shampoo, but they do have a waterless shampoo. You spray it on then towel the pet dry. No wetting/no rinsing. I used to keep a spray bottle of it in my grooming kit for cat show accidents and it works great. Has a conditioner that leaves coat soft and clean.
Formerly, it's encouraging that your pup can walk a few steps already. As she continues to recover, she'll get stronger. If you aren't using them already, puppy pads (or disposable diapers, opened all the way out, or get people bed liners for "accidents" -- and these are much cheaper) in her bed will help. Makes clean-up a lot faster and less messy and may help lessen her embarrassment. A well-trained animal will sometimes hold it beyond what is healthy, so find ways to let her know that it's okay for her to let loose in her bed if she needs to. Good luck with her. She's lucky to have you to love and care for her. Much luckier than 8 children we all know of and are concerned for.
Thanks to you PJ (the person!) and Tucker, those are very good suggestions and I will follow-up. I just don't see how crate rest vs return to activity are compatible! I'm trying to increase movement day by day. Nursing people is much easier! :) I heard hydrotherapy is also good and you can do it at home in the tub!
Found this post on ROL on the Kate story.. I made that comment here, and did not make it at Radar. Someone is copying our comments and posting them on ROL under "guest.". I have noticed quite a few of the comments from here over there the past couple of days.
************** Could it be that it's the same person posting here and on ROL? C/P their own posts?
"So nice that she put her child's underwear hoarding out there for public mocking. Lovely. Having your mother (and a couple of siblings) snicker at you on national tv for your solution to a problem that *she* caused.

Sad, sad, sad. This is abuse on so many levels."
*****************************************
Mel, I had to copy your whole comment because every point is so valid. Yes, it is abuse.
Even if she were moderately nice to her children, or respectful or nurturing or at all maternal, the exploitation alone is abuse.
Their own mother, and a production TEAM, creates and sets up fake scenarios called "memories" for her children just to be filmed and SOLD.
At it's core, we have to start seeing that using children as reality t.v. props is abuse, plain and simple.
Of course, add to that the years of filmed documentation of the vile way Kate treats her children, her own journals about how she abused them and yet, there she is.
Still on our fuckin' television sets trying to convince people that she's a victim in all of this.
The poor, put upon, good Christian, God's will, have to feed my babies, please pay my bills preferably in whole but in part will be okay I guess, need a t.v. show, don't need a husband got a bodyguard, boys are yucky and stink, oh you're thirsty? thanks for reminding me that I am too, do you have to breathe like that...
Oh wow...sorry. I opened a floodgate me thinks. Kate just pisses me off. And it pisses me off even more that there are people out there more concerned with making money than they are about the welfare of those kids.
Rant over. :D
Have a great weekend all. Oh, and so jealous of all of you that have got and read your copies of Pioneer Girl. I was slow on the uptake and will not get mine until Spring.
Boo! Vcu lost to Richmond. On the bright side, u of r had not won a game on the road since Feb 2014,. so good for them. William and Mary is playing James Madison now, then duke is at University of Virginia at six or seven. Great college basketball today! We are planning to watch the Katy Perry concert tomorrow, I understand there will be some guys running around with a properly inflated ball before and after her concert! Most of the super bowl commercials are online already. Definitely check out the Brady Bunch Snickers commercial. Online there is a feature on the making of the Brady Bunch Snickers ad. Another hilarious one is the Band of brands.com and the online ads with Aubrey Plaza taking about the Band of brands ad concept. Very very funny!
She refers to her life as "long and treacherous days".
"But I think with The Celebrity Apprentice, I was excited to do it because it was a challenge that I felt more suited for and I felt very comfortable in. It intrigued me to be honest and I was able to learn a lot from a lot of business savvy people who know a lot more than I do. I just kind of wanted to see if my long and treacherous days that never end at home was too much to do and if the short timelines and pressure at home would apply in the business world as well and they did. It transferred over and I think that was the thing for me. I wanted to prove to myself that the pressure of having 8 kids at home transferred over into the business world."
Another interview where Kate throws the kids under the bus and pats herself on the back for having to deal with them.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 1h1 hour ago So @kateplusmy8 do you have your menu & goodies on hand for #SuperBowlSunday? I know it's all abt the food there! LOL #GameSecondary :)
You know that, huh? Why would you care if Kate has food or not? What's the matter...snow too deep in Kate's yard that you can't get close enough to the windows to check out what's in her pantry?
"It intrigued me to be honest and I was able to learn a lot from a lot of business savvy people who know a lot more than I do"
===
It intrigued her to be honest? Is that like being inspired to be honest (for a change). Oh, wait, she's saying "to be honest" as opposed to her usual lies.
Long and treacherous days? What in the heck is she talking about? The kids are gone from 7 to 5, five days a week, and every other weekend with Jon. Just how 'treacherous' can the days be if she's all alone? What if she had a full-time job like so many other mothers out there...when your work at home doesn't begin until your other job ends? Could she cope? I doubt it. I have yet to see anyone ask her what she does all day when the kids aren't home to drive her nuts.
Kate, if there is so much pressure having to deal with eight kids, then find a good boarding school for them. You have the money. What's stopping you? Oh, wait...then she couldn't whine and complain over her long and treacherous days. Adoration from the sheeple would stop, and that's really what she lives for.
"Could it be that it's the same person posting here and on ROL? C/P their own posts?"
In my case no..I don't post at ROL at all, and one of my comments is posted there. I will try and note in the future, if it's the same person over there, quoting from here, or different people. And, who they quote too.
. I just kind of wanted to see if my long and treacherous days that never end at home was too much to do and if the short timelines and pressure at home would apply in the business world as well and they did. It transferred over and I think that was the thing for me.
))))
Can someonoe diagram that sentence? Because it makes no sense to me...
"Treacherous" days as a parent? How about "challenging" days? Or "tricky" days? Nope...she finds about as negative a word as she can pull out of that tiny lump of Silly Putty she calls her brain. And they're "long" days, too, folks -- not like the short ones all you other mediocre parents must have. Her days have 24 hours in them. Don't judge until you've walked a mile in her shoes.
She is an ungrateful, uncaring, undeserving pig. Those children are nothing but a burden and a meal ticket to her. She makes me sick.
Thanks Kate is a twit, for posting the interview. Not sure what happened to my screen maybe went back a page. I wonder which came first, CA opportunity or Kate's desire to enter the world of business.
Thanks readerlady: I appreciate the tips and support. I am really looking forward to staring the LIW book tonight when the dog is settled. You're all so kind.
Pffft. How does one become 'intrigued' by being honest unless you've never experienced it before? And how, exactly, is a reality show where they play a pretend game, about pretend business, where you get pretend fired a testing ground for honesty? lol.
I am amused that some Kate defenders think they can raise enough money to hire a lawyer to sue other Twitter people who might say things that hurt their feelings. If they could scrape together enough for a one-hour consultation, I'd be surprised.

They are sheeple. That says it all. There just is no intelligence or critical thinking there at all, and it's sad. But just let them do it. It probably makes them feel important.
"She chose to engage with another Twitter follower. Whatever she said in her DMs may have unintentionally revealed private information about Kate. Dumb!

----- -----
Millicent, spot on. She's not a 13 or 14 year old middle school student with a crush on a celebrity one week and then moves on to another the next week. Tweeting with a stranger about her involvement as a nanny wasn't just an error in judgment. She's a 20 year old college student who should have known better than to engage an internet stranger who clearly has some very disturbing anger issues going on, along with a frightening obsessive compulsion to go off on others. The content of those messages between Em and that person really is secondary; Emily never should have been involved in any kind of communication with her (or him...we really don't know).
In reading Em's blog post, one certainly can see that she has mommy issues, in addition to being a very insecure young woman. I can't figure out why she would even put that out there on a blog unless she's crying for help from someone. Why post those very private feelings for everyone to see? Something is off there, and I really hope that she gets the help that she needs. She may be a lovely young women from a great family, but I'd still be very reluctant to hire her to care for my children, but that's just me. It sounds like she offered Kate a free babysitting service and if it was free, would Kate say no? Doubtful.
Since Em is all about who she knows in the celebrity world, it's just one more feather in her cap to be able to say, hey, I'm not just a fan...I'm a long time family friend. I *am* someone. She seems to desperately need that.
I don't have Twitter and I'm not sure about this messaging thing, but to DM someone, does each person have to follow the other? If so, why would Em even follow this person? Certainly she must have seen her disgusting tweets about the Gosselin children. Em claims to love "her" kiddos so much. Why even engage a person who slams these kids? I don't get it. There must be something we don't know, and most likely never will know.
when Wendy Williams said that Jon doesn't see the kids, Kate corrected her and said that he does see them? How does that fit
&&&
Well the answer to that one is so simple I'm not sure why you're asking. Because there's photo PROOF he does see her children and very recent photo proof, like at the garage sale and having pizza this summer.
She can't very well sit there when there is photo proof of it and try to say he doesn't see his kids. That's not credible.
What she CAN lie about and get away with or try to, is the more personal, grayer details that Jon's friends and family know about, but the general public doesn't necessarily really hear much about to realize she's lying.
Kate's manipulative and she's cunning. She knows just how much to push a lie and she knows exactly what she can and can't get away with. That I give her credit for. Quite frankly, she's not dumb enough to peddle a lie like the one you suggested. She had to admit that one to Wendy.
"They have actually invited my kids and I to go." Ms. Perfect Grammar, it's "my kids and ME." Here's a hint -- take out the "my kids" part and say the sentence. You'd know "they invited I" is wrong, but "they invited me" is right.
Not sure why TFW is excited about visiting the camp. According to her, all the parents get to drink wine and complain about their burdens. She already does that on Twitter.
Pffft. How does one become 'intrigued' by being honest unless you've never experienced it before? And how, exactly, is a reality show where they play a pretend game, about pretend business, where you get pretend fired a testing ground for honesty? lol. (AuntieAnn, 127).
)))))) lol!
I think what she meant was, "To be honest, it intrigued me" (the idea of being on CA). She mixes up her speech patterns the same way she tweets. Backwards and confusing!
Oh.My.Goodness. "Mr Trump" just quoted one of the main nonfans:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 1m1 minute ago "@finndango: @ConcernedChick @Kateplusmy8 @KenyaMoore And now trying to rewrite herself as "honest person" who refused to do drama. Ha!"
Admin, I agree only too a point. She is only successful in her cunning and manipulative ways to those who don't pay attention or are not very bright. And, I think a lot of talk show hosts are handcuffed to a script, or they really don't care. Their comfy couch is made for only upbeat conversation, nothing too heavy. I imagine Kate, filled up on Starbucks, away from the kids, hair and makeup done and thinking about another night in NY with her bodyguard, well I imagine she can be pleasant.
In the real world, with her day to day pressures its obvious she has been unable to hold a relationship with any adult for more than a short time.
Someday if I can stomach it I will watch the interview with Bethany, who I understand asked some uncomfortable questions.
Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen, Whoopi Goldberg, Robert Hoffman, Shawn Tuma, Admin and her crew, and we who post, see right through the smoke and mirrors.
I hope Jon has a junk food buffet for the kids tomorrow if it is his custody weekend. Have some fun with them and let them choose what they want to do and eat. They dont need to watch the game. I never did as a child at a party. Most of us would play games at the tups age and read teen magazines and take the silly quizzes out loud at the twins age.
I just stumbled across a reality show called The Wahlburgers, with Mark Wahlburg and his brothers. Guess what, Marky Mark was one of 9 countem 9 kids!!

She's trying so hard to sound like a business person now that she's had some airtime on CA and it's not working. She's got all these little speeches memorized but she keeps screwing them up. It intrigued me to be honest...I do not move on and hold grudges. haha. Keep trying Kate.
History - The photos of her baking cookies, bare foot, pedicure, holding an empty mixing bowl, makeup all done, kitchen spotless. Photos of burned pizza, All grooming the public for her cookbook.
Now she says she learned so much from such business savvy people, oh God reading that interview made me ill. Kate is trying to razzle dazzle America once again, now, Ta-da! She is a business woman!
Christian homemaker - toured for donations Wretch to her husband- this she was most successful at Runner - talked of designing athletic apparel Cook book author - talked of cooking show Business Lady- with a man accused of, on more than one occasion physically abusing his spouse. Who needs schoolin?!
. I just kind of wanted to see if my long and treacherous days that never end at home was too much to do and if the short timelines and pressure at home would apply in the business world as well and they did. It transferred over and I think that was the thing for me.
Can someonoe diagram that sentence? Because it makes no sense to me...
================
I know this was discussed before, but I really think that there is something wrong in the thought/language process. What's in her head (what she wants to say) just doesn't come out in a logical speech pattern. There have been so many examples of this. Something just isn't right.
Diagramming a sentence? I'd rather have a bad case of the poops and find that the only facility available is a gas station uni-sex bathroom that has no toilet tissue.
You know, I was so sure that TFW would use her children as an excuse when she got fired. She didn't, so I will sheepishly admit that I made the wrong call on that one.
But I think I just realized why she didn't use them. For those glorious weeks, I think she forgot she even had them. She was playing "NYC business woman," and those kids were the furthest thing from her mind. Remember when they were really little, and she said something like "no news is good news," and that she didn't stay in touch with them while she was away? This was probably heaven on earth for her.
So has Gladys had any response to Mr. Trump's re-tweet yet? Poor thing doesn't even get a day off on the weekend. Don't forget to #BeMature!
She's trying so hard to sound like a business person now that she's had some airtime on CA and it's not working.

She spent all of what, three weeks around the likes of people like Leeza and she thinks she can do it just like them. She's so transparent. I think she honestly thinks she can just say ok now I want a business, and there it will appear. And that it won't take the sort of hard, long work and dedication people like Leeza and Geraldo have to make their various ideas a success.
She should have been inventing and reinventing business ideas and deals five years ago. That's where the real money is in fame, as any lasting celeb knows. She hopped on board the train years after it left the station.
She refers to her life as "long and treacherous days".

I just kind of wanted to see if my long and treacherous days that never end at home was too much to do and if the short timelines and pressure at home would apply in the business world as well and they did. It transferred over and I think that was the thing for me. I wanted to prove to myself that the pressure of having 8 kids at home transferred over into the business world."
*******
How is it that she felt 'suited' for the challenge of CA? Sounds like the only things she brought to the table for CA are the 'long and treacherous days that never end' that she thinks she puts in at home. Not creativity or hard work, or problem solving, or being a leader... nothing, nada. SMDH And, I'm sure the other contestants appreciated all she contributed. NOT
One thing for sure is that she's going to try to use her stint on CA as a springboard to re-brand herself. I think it's going to end the same as her dating show, the cancelled project of going around helping moms/families, her talk show hosting career, her career as an author, and her blogging career have all turned out. She doesn't see projects thru to their end, she has no substance, she's inauthentic, she is unimaginative, and she has a horrid work ethic. W/O the kids involved, she brings nothing of her own to the table. We'll see how her stint as a businesswoman has progressed after a year. I think I have an idea how it's going to turn out.
If they had any ounce of intelligence, they wouldn't go stating this as "deal" as fact. I can't believe that there isn't at least one among them who would understand even the "basics" of child support laws in PA.
&&&&
And if they had that ounce the reason that you can't bargain support away would make sense to them.
There is a presumption a child has a right to be supported whether that's by parents living together or separate. No one has the right to bargain away that right because the right belongs to the CHILD, not the parent.
Think about the consequences of allowing parents to make back door support deals and how situations can come about that are not in a child's best interest. If you just stop coming around for your weekend visits, I'll let you off the hook on support. Or, if you just don't put up a fuss about me not wanting to vaccinate our child, I'll let you out of your support.
Or, if you just let me film the children no matter how bad it is for them, I won't make a stink about your support.
The law sometimes makes logical sense, as it does here by now allowing such scenarios.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 1m1 minute ago "@finndango: @ConcernedChick @Kateplusmy8 @KenyaMoore And now trying to rewrite herself as "honest person" who refused to do drama. Ha!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ouch!! So Donald wanted the "real" Kate on CA with all of her nasty drama. Kate fails again. Will Donald provide her with a business reference? :)
"The truth is, where there are huge personalities that are just going to make mountains out of molehills and talk about plastic and all that stuff, I don't get involved. I've done real world issues and real life problems, that just doesn't even feel relevant to me," she added.
"Gosselin also said that when she joined the competition, her goal was to win, yet she never wanted to sacrifice her values and morals because she was trying to set a good example to her children.
"I knew I had to practice what I preach, because I'm preaching to my kids. Don't be the mean girl, work hard, take any job. It doesn't make me feel good to be conniving and manipulative," the reality star said."
*******
It's obvious she decided she wanted to sell herself as the pure and innocent CA contestant in trying to separate herself from the 'conniving and manipulative' Vivica and Kenya. It's too bad that anyone who watches the TLC shows knows she's a fraud and nothing like the 'brand' she's tried to sell on CA. CA is a game. It's too bad she's so clueless about that and about life.
I'm so sick of her saying everything she does is to teach her kids a life lesson. If that was the case she'd have had her butt in a chair in a psychiatrist's office asking for help the morning after her show aired last week (well, long before that, but last week was one of the worst).
KG: I don’t have a problem with Vivica at all. I didn’t have a problem with her then. I think that I just was naïve to all the times that she threw me under the bus (saying that I shopped for too long or that I did this or did that). After about three weeks of her saying that “Kate should be fired, Kate should be fired, Kate should be fired…” by the When it got to the point where she was saying that I should be fired because my hairdresser (that I hired for free and did what I was asked to do) took too long, I just realized that the long and short of it was just that I was a threat to Vivica and she wanted me gone. To be honest, though, I don’t have a problem with her and the show is over. I hold no ill will toward any of the cast members. I’m not that kind of a person. I don’t worry about it. ======== Yeah, that's the ticket! Vivica was threatened by TFW and wanted her gone. Never mind that TFW rarely had a clue as to what was going on and if Leeza hadn't stepped up to save her ass in the Neat challenge she would have been gone.
I love this reasoning and I guess this is why her fans connect with her. "I connected quickly with Shawn because I am a huge Olympic gymnastic watcher and admirer."
She knows just how much to push a lie and she knows exactly what she can and can't get away with (admin, 129).
)))))) Yep. Totally agree, but yet she pushed the lie about the breast implants, even though there are photos to prove that she bought new boobs.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Here's the thing with her lies. For some reason, she can't get it through her head that there are locals who can very easily call her out on them and prove that she lies. I remember when she claimed that her kids were ranked at the top of their class. Kate, there are those who know that this was a lie. The school doesn't rank kids. You want it known that the children are doing well in school, fine. You don't lie about it. There are those who know the truth. Yes, she exaggerates (the two feet of snow when there was just a coating), but it's the out and out lies that are disturbing, and the fact that she never considers that there are those who can prove that she is lying through her teeth. She's always truthful and honest? Baloney.
Off topic...
I just listened to the weather report. Snow, possibly starting at 7 a.m., maybe as rain or freezing rain, changing to snow and sleet, or all snow beginning any time from noon to 7 p.m., maybe as a wintry mix, or it could be all rain until 8 p.m., changing back to snow overnight and ending sometime either in mid-morning on Monday, or it might be all rain before becoming snow again later in the day. Or it could all be out of here by mid-morning with only rain.
These guys get PAID for this? I think I'll just open my garage door and if the driveway is white, I'll shovel. It it's wet, I won't.
Kate's area is in the "up to eight inches" zone, so watch for the snowblower pictures, or spreading 200 pounds of salt (all by herself) or whatever.
Localyocal, according to the area forecast, you will be spared most of this mess. So far. But you ever know!
She spent all of what, three weeks around the likes of people like Leeza and she thinks she can do it just like them. She's so transparent. I think she honestly thinks she can just say ok now I want a business, and there it will appear.
====
That's Kate. She sees something shiney, points at it and says I want that. It's what she's always done whether it was a cookbook, or anchoring E.T, or DWTS, running marathons and whatever else, she thinks it's easy as falling off a log. It has never occurred to her that people actually have to WORK towards success. Then when she fails at it due to her total lack of effort she falls back on those kids to bring in the money.
Murtz Jaffer really kissed Kate's azz in this interview. Jaffer has been criticised for being quite opinionated about certain Big Brother contestants in the past. His objectivity has been questioned and this interview with TFW sounds like he's taken a seat on the sheeple side of the aisle.
"MJ: Will you ever invite Vivica over to babysit for you?
KG: No. I don’t know that any of the cast has volunteered to babysit. ... I don’t know that any of them would be able to survive 8 kids. I mean if you asking like ‘would Vivica survive in my house?,’ I don’t know a whole lot of people who would survive in my house. I survive. I don’t know how Vivica feels about me or what her lasting impression of me is. I don’t know. I mean I have kept in contact with a few people but I don’t know that I spent time worrying about it. I really don’t. You have to understand when I tell you that I don’t hold ill will towards people. I realize it’s a rare quality but I just don’t. I’m too busy in my life to spend time snivelling over who doesn’t like me and who does like me. I don’t care."
*****
Good grief. I'll bet that just about anyone could walk into her house and manage the kids much better than she does any and every day. It's not hard when you're mentally healthy, mature and love your kids unconditionally. Just like packing for a trip, she makes even parenting harder than it has to be. She doesn't realize that her actions, not her words, are what and how people will believe she doesn't hold grudges. So far, her actions are sure sending the wrong message!
sara snow @sarasnowbunny 18m18 minutes ago @mscatie @FaithXFox @SnarkyStudent23 @Kateplusmy8 PA doesn't give a shit about G kids. #evident
Right. That's why Rep Murt has worked so long and so hard for new child labor laws, and why hearings were held and specifically discussed the Gosselin situation, why Paul Petersen attended hearings and media events, and why even more laws have been drafted and passed since then. PA doesn't give a darn about kids or the Gosselins on reality television. Passing laws protecting them was because legislators were bored.
Is this the Cow/Organics person back on Twitter, obsessing again on the girls' acne, meds and slamming Mady? It certainly sounds like it.

I posted that I think that is Organics too but my comment must not have gone through. Yes, I have a hunch that is her. She has already called M bipolar.
"They have actually invited my kids and I to go to their camp this summer (which we are looking forward to and hoping to do). So that was a good feeling. At the end the day, I mean you can’t go wrong there. As for what is next, we are filming Kate Plus 8 again. I am having fun doing that and we will see what’s next after that."

Ah, so she's confirmed they've ordered more episodes. Spring break trip? Summer vacation trip? Of course! I'm sure the visit to Camp Barnabas will end up as an episode on TLC, too.
"I posted that I think that is Organics too but my comment must not have gone through. Yes, I have a hunch that is her. She has already called M bipolar."
====== There's no question about it. I'd bet the farm and all of the sheep that it is. She already went after one of the posters on this blog and is back to tweeting Em. Here we go again. Wow. Talk about being unhinged.
I'm not sure what her "brand" is right now, but I do know that in each interview, every time she talks, it's about how hard she has it, how she survives eight kids and the long and treacherous days she spends with the kids. I feel so sorry for them and what they must be thinking and feeling to know that they are nothing more than a burden and the cause of their mothers's unhappiness and stress. My gosh...is there no maternal love there at all?
She really needs to see a psychiatrist. The damage she is doing to these children is horrible, just horrible. She can't keep doing this without serious consequences for those kids.

I only caught the last few of Wahlburgers or whatever it was called. They had 9 kids in the family. The dad died and the mom remarried. Kate is not unique and has no excuse.

Here's the thing that doesn't ring true with Kate's business aspirations, that she's now proclaiming via any media that gives her attention, that she garnered from her experience with Celebrity Apprentice... It's been a almost FRIGGIN' YEAR! ! She's done NOTHING in that time - since being fired except she has this 'revelation' that she's now able to be some type of business guru but she had nearly 12 months to DO SOMETHING! !
And, if you learned so much, why in God's name have you not done ANYTHING - and I mean ANYTHING other than go back and sell your children's lives to the voyeuristic pack of sheeple.
. I don’t know that any of them would be able to survive 8 kids. I mean if you asking like ‘would Vivica survive in my house?,’ I don’t know a whole lot of people who would survive in my house. I survive.

Really? Could she be any more ridiculous!? Or narcisisstic? My mom was one of 9. I never heard my grandmother talk about how hard they had it. There was just good ole Irish laughter.
@Kateplusmy8 Having a LATE casual dinner... And Zorro joined Aaden at the table to 'help' him eat his edamame #AGosselinFavorite pic.twitter.com/XZprRV7VYW ********
What an unappetizing meal that looks like. Served on a paper plate, dried out chicken fingers, a pile of dry looking edamame. Blechhhh It doesn't look like they use utensils. I know younger kids eat with their fingers, especially chicken fingers, and there's nothing wrong with it, I do it, too, but the beans? I guess if the beans don't have anything on them, but... gaaaaaaa She posted this at 5:45pm her time and says it's a late meal? Photo taken a diff day?
Here is the egg. Yawn. Jon has the kids this weekend and I hope ALL of the kids are with Jon. What's funny, Milo said LOM said something about slipping on the egg. Milo #'d Three Bone Leg Break? Am I missing something, the broken foot was actually a broken toe but now has ballooned to 3 bones in her leg broken?
Aaden trying to eat his supper while competing for food with Zorro.
It's bad enough that she underfeeds the kids, but then allows a bird to compete for food off the plate! DISGUSTINGLY NASTY!
====
Whoopie. A couple of pieces of chicken and those damn peas again. Where's the starch on that plate? There's no carbs there unless you count the flour on the chicken. Those kids will be hungry in less than an hour.
Suze: Edamame is eaten with your fingers, you de-shell the beans to eat the beans, you do not eat the shell. And it does not look like chicken fingers, but a wing & wing drum stick. To me that is usually not a enough food. Maybe 6 wing & drum wing would be enough. The amount of edamame, un-shelled is about a hand full. And no none of my birds are allowed in the kitchen when I am cooking or eating.
One thing that disturb me was her answer about the dog, when Zorro is out the dog is not let in the house. So, I think the dog spends 90% of it's life outside. My dogs spend 90% of their lives inside. Yeah, Kate loves animals.
Loycalyocal: News flash, I was at the food store and someone ran into a bunch of stacked winebottles, and it crashed to the floor, wine everywhere. My thought was quick everyone get a straw, and then spit out the glass. LOL
FlimsyFlamsy: Actually, Kate did use her children in an indirect way. When she was interviewed, she compared the women fighting to 14 year olds, Kate has 2 14 year olds. The way Kate sat at the last board meeting, and let them fight/argue it out, not even jumping in to say Hey, enough, which is what a leader/PM/Boss does, Kate does this with her kids, let them fight it out.
Oh forgot one thing, Kate said in a recent interview, that she used/compared her home life with 8 kids, to CA. That is saying that what the cast did on CA is the same stuff her kids do. That is why she was so comfortable being in NYC on CA than going home. Besides the perks.

--------------------
Has she ever researched foods that are toxic to birds? While the jury is still out on the safety of edamame for parrots, what if the plate contained a slice of avocado or apples with seeds? Zorro would grab those before Kate realized what happened, and that bird could be dead.
FACT - you tweeted "#TooScared" about Leeza Gibbons not taking on the task of PM -- 10 months after the project.

Of course, more rationalization from you. I would expect no less.
$$$$
Of course you don't like the perfectly reasonable explanation why someone as manipulative as kate would sometimes tell the truth. I would expect no less! Lol why ask in the first place?
Not every single thing out of her mouth is a lie. The fact that she occasionally tells the truth does not prove she doesn't occasionally lie. That's quite a leap in logic there, but you're welcome to make it. Just don't land wrong and twist your ankle.
Admin #10 What I said about the kids not being abused is what I've heard the Kate fans saying. Basically, if they were abused they wouldn't be acting like they are. I believe those kids are still being abused and are putting on a show for the cameras with Kate's permission. How confusing it must be for them.
Really? So what part of having eight kids prepares TFW for declaring Chapter 11 and laying off employees? At last report, one can't lay off their kids just because economic times are tough.
On the other hand, TFW has outsourcing nailed down. She didn't hire help to raise the kids - she just dumped the child-rearing responsibilities onto whoever came cheap enough to her liking.
******************************************* Oh puleeeeze, get over yourself already. There's a list as long as my arm with people we've actually SEEN "taking on 8 kids" that danced circles around you. Jon, Beth, Jody, Ashley...so please, just stop. Secondly I think you're on Vivica's mind a whole lot less than she's on yours obviously. It was a freaking game lady, stop with the melodramatics and get on with it, like you seem to be spouting. Put your money where your mouth is.
I’m too busy in my life to spend time snivelling over who doesn’t like me and who does like me. I don’t care." ******************************************************************** That right there justifies her behavior. She has given herself permission to act any way she wants, treat people any way she wants because she just "doesn't care". Must be nice to go through life that way, isn't it?
It has never occurred to her that people actually have to WORK towards success. Then when she fails at it due to her total lack of effort she falls back on those kids to bring in the money. ********************************************** I also think that in her mind she believes she IS working. She was genuinely shocked (the molar shot on CA proved it) that she was being called lazy. Again, someone else's truth isn't meshing with HER truth. And her falling back on her kids? She doesn't think "they" are working, on camera and off camera. She's always bragging about how she runs a tight ship because she has to and is expected to be praised for her Little Orphan Annie compound. Even if she begrudgingly gives them any credit or their dues, she will, in the same sentence "outdo" them in . Look at how she would marginalize Jon, made him repeat "Kate does a lot" even grabbing his mouth with her flappy hands to make him say it. Totally dismisses any work/contribution anyone else makes. That's how she sees things, she'll twist and turn everything to suit her purpose and any critiquing is never taken into account, she DOESN'T CARE, she said it herself.

I still go back to the fact that nothing is their own. Even their food. They can't even go sit at the table and feel like that's their plate with the food that they chose.
Nope. They have to have it served prison style...the warden chooses the plate AND the food amount.
It's like they're being held hostage...which in many ways they are.
She decides everything, and she takes away anything personal, ipads, phones, etc. And she sees to it that they don't feel that they have anything that is their own. Everything is communal property, and she'll decide when/if they're allowed to use it.
Sad, sad, sad. This is abuse on so many levels."
*****************************************
Mel, I had to copy your whole comment because every point is so valid. Yes, it is abuse.
Even if she were moderately nice to her children, or respectful or nurturing or at all maternal, the exploitation alone is abuse.
Their own mother, and a production TEAM, creates and sets up fake scenarios called "memories" for her children just to be filmed and SOLD.
At it's core, we have to start seeing that using children as reality t.v. props is abuse, plain and simple.
Of course, add to that the years of filmed documentation of the vile way Kate treats her children, her own journals about how she abused them and yet, there she is.
Still on our fuckin' television sets trying to convince people that she's a victim in all of this.
The poor, put upon, good Christian, God's will, have to feed my babies, please pay my bills preferably in whole but in part will be okay I guess, need a t.v. show, don't need a husband got a bodyguard, boys are yucky and stink, oh you're thirsty? thanks for reminding me that I am too, do you have to breathe like that... ********************************************************* Had to copy paste BOTH posts because they are so spot on.

Another interview where Kate throws the kids under the bus and pats herself on the back for having to deal with them.
******* First of all, CA is a GAME. It's NOT REAL! Anyone who really is successful at what they do, in business, or entertainment, knows this. All I can say about her barely intelligible sentences is that she's a really sick woman who needs help, and she needs to just shut the fuck up.

It intrigued her to be honest? Is that like being inspired to be honest (for a change). Oh, wait, she's saying "to be honest" as opposed to her usual lies. ****** You know Kate had her manager lobby HEAVILY to get her on that show. This casual, 'oh, it intrigued me" is laughable. Kate really believes CA is some sort of relevant, respectable bullet point to put on her resume. It's just another footnote to her D-list life.

When they gathered in the lounge? to get the Chock full of O'nuts task when they were told and Trump said, GO! everyone with kate was walking and kate just stood there about 5 to 10 seconds and slowly put her hands together with the look of love, admiration, joy, happiness.

"It's been almost 4 years since Kate got her Twitter account. Back then, Milo tweeted that her daughter ("the girl" as she says) was 12, "the boy" was 16. So they're aging appropriately."
Guess it just seemed like years lol so we should be be in for a 'sweet sixteen party' very soon.
Just thinking about the Montana Big Sisters (MBS) visiting,

It's one thing to tell some minimum-wage stranger not to let

that down for someone who actually knows the man? Because
if these women have known the kids since they were born,
surely they know Jon.
I don't think anyone disagrees that the person isn't a disgusting human being. Vile doesn't even begin to describe her tweets, and I agree with you that no proof has been shown as to what exactly those DMs contained. I also agree that the young girl should have known better than to tweet with a stranger. Em's a bragger who meets stars by paying for meet and greets, or through the VIP Nation tickets, which cost a small fortune.

look at how whiney and mouthy the kids are! If they were being abused or afraid of their mother, they would never behave like this.
***
I disagree. How are abused children supposed to behave?
&&&&
Yes, correct. Abused children behave in all sorts of ways. Some withdrawn, some are whiny and mouthy, some act out in a variety of other ways. Proves nothing that they're whiny and mouthy.
So why doesn't Jon have right of first refusal?
&&&
He does. That source doesn't know what they're talking about.

I don't follow twitter close enough to know exactly what vile behavior toward the fans organics has done however I will say Em certainly did NOT stay out of the BV mess in the past. She may have cheered them on with a cute smile but I really don't care how you dress it up, supporting what is going on is the same as doing it yourself.
::::::::::::::
This is news to me. Are there tweets that you can direct me to? Never have I seen a tweet directed to her from any of the BV terrorists nor have I seen her name even mentioned in tweets or on blogs on the subject.
I will say this, with regard to: "but I really don't care how you dress it up, supporting what is going on is the same as doing it yourself," is exactly why I don't condone or defend what organics did.
Sue I couldn't tell you the exact tweets but I distinctly remember thinking after Em threw down her support for BV well gee the so called sweet and innocent fan is not so much.

If time allows, maybe I'll try and find some of her old tweets. While I definitely don't defend what she did, the payback has to, some day, somewhere in time, come to an end, otherwise this inane war, with little meaning to the big picture picture of life, will continue for another 9 or more years
Kate's aTwit posted TFW's Twitter saying something about Collin "hoarding all his boxers" (jan 27). Obviously a ploy to deflect from the earlier shared underwear comment.
Tried to copy/paste but can't get the hang of it.

Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 · 19h 19 hours ago
@MiloandJack I had NO idea 'where kids were' was anything but a ? in passing..gave100%truth as usual #EndOfDiscussion #DAILYPayStubs2Prove
Kate wasn't saying she had no idea where the kids were. She was saying that she had no idea that the question about where the kids were would lead to such controversy. It was just an offhand question asked of her, and she answered it truthfully(ha ha).
Oh that's right, cameras! Another opportunity to throw the childrens father under the bus, with how Wendy phrased the question.
And "a ? In passing?"
What the hell does that mean? What, I answered some/most honestly...? What?
reader: I agree Kate's reaction to Mady's Zorro painting was all out of proportion, as was her freak-out to the paint. What did she expect? It was weird how she giggled and pranced, snapping pictures of the mediocre painting, but was not concerned that the bird was up there. He could have got lost or ill from the paint, as was discussed before.
Also ,no one enjoyed the pumpkin throwing game she masterminded- no one wanted her on their team and Cara gave quite a few choice words about TFW and her rules and need to control. Then TFW said how much everyone loved it?? Does she not think the viewers have eyes and ears? She blames the kids' behavior on the fact that they are indeed, kids- not her horrible parenting.
Readerlady: I am still waiting for my copy of the PG book! I am anxious to read it and am sure i will find it very interesting. Was yours from Amazon?

Ha!
It's a bizarre way to describe "family" watching your kids.
Reader lady 169.. I am really enjoying the LIW book. You are correct that you can't read it cover to cover quickly. I was surprised at the physical size of the book and the 5 month wait for delivery was well worth it. An amazing woman who saw so much in her life time.
IF it's Jon's weekend, I'm sure he has to have the kids home at, say, 6PM at the latest--well before the game starts. That gives Kate time to dole out her SuperFunSuperBowlSnackies on red plastic plates for her annual SuperFunSuperBowlPhotoshoot!
-------------------------------------------------
Sure hope she got the treadmill back in working order. As lore has it, Kate running on the treadmill while the kids mince on all the superfun snacks is all part of the SuperBowl fun!!
"Maybe Kate is really having money problems, and that is why she is thinking up new money making scams where she doesn't have to work? Seems like several celebrities have had scam charities, and none of them got into trouble over it?"
Found this post on ROL on the Kate story.. I made that comment here, and did not make it at Radar. Someone is copying our comments and posting them on ROL under "guest.". I have noticed quite a few of the comments from here over there the past couple of days.
I got a good laugh the other day. Apparently some of the BV minions are going to set up a non-profit for the purpose of funding lawsuits against the haters on twitter. They are going to use these funds to pay lawyers to subpoena twitter and find out the real names of the haters. It is so LOL!!
Ziggy has a post about it and she sounded like this is going to answer their prayers! How many people are going to donate? I can't stop laughing!!
How delusional are these sheeple?
It amazes me, the variety of tactics sKate uses to bring the attention back to herself when someone else is in the spotlight. Join a team and beat little kids, throw an OCD fit when Jon and the kids are having fun carving pumpkins, burst into tears when things get tough, hand flapping, yelling, head nodding, freaking out that she's afraid, making faces, verbal diarrhea. The list goes on and on. She MUST be the center of attention.
She did it on CA and she does it constantly on the kid's show.

OT, I spend Saturday afternoons folding laundry and cheering for Notre Dame during the FB season.
I'll be hosting a party and watching the Super Bowl. There will be a two year old attending and I won't be making her sit on a line on the floor with a dixie cup of treats.
Emeril Lagasse's Pulled Pork, with my coleslaw, home-made buns (takes bow) and tiramisu for dessert. (made by me as well) Top that, sKate? Oh, wait, you hit Emeril with a big spoon. You win!

"How many of you out there really watch the supper bowl?"
Being that I am not a fan of the game, I won't be watching it, closely. It will be on in the house, I am sure I'll see some of it.
And though I love New England (the region), my mother's people are from Connecticut, I dont like the ownership/management of the Patriots.
A lot of people, an increasing number of women in this country are passionate about the sport.
Kate's enthusiasm. ...not even goin there.

I'm a huge football fan, and we have "must watch" games when our teams play, but I don't think I went to a Super Bowl party until my teens or 20's.
I didn't follow football, nor did I know what the hell was going on, so why would I want it on my tv as a kid?
I can see if your parents are super into it, and as a kid, you get to tag along with the experience. But, to make kids watch it is stupid and simply a photo op.
I'm guessing what's in it for the kids is eating fun food. Doubt they even know who's playing.

Wow, sounds like quite the tome!
I don't know much about the subject, but it's really neat that people here can connect over it and share.
About LIW, she was born in Feb. 7, 1867 and died Feb. 10, 1957. She went from horses and wagons, to cars, to airplanes and to missing the first manned space flight by the Soviets in April, 1961, by 4 years!
Rose Wilder was born Dec. 5, 1886 and died Oct. 30, 1968. The Apollo moon space mission was on July 20, 1969. Rose missed the landing by 6 months! Horses and wagons, to cars, to planes, to seeing the Soviets, but missed the moon landing.
I just find this fascinating.

Second, why would she get the tup girls vanities and place them so high they could not even look in the mirror? Do they need a guest room with the garage suite? That little room could be for the girls to spread out a bit more than in that small room for the three.Maybe they'd get along better with more room. Amazing a mansion is too small!
..............................
Isn't that a detached garage? Unless they added some way to connect the two, I would not want them having to get out in the weather to get to their room.
Could it be that they intentionally chose a place with small bedrooms? If they had already decided against any more filming in bedrooms, they might be thinking less "wasted" space.

----------
I remember seeing the maple syrup because there was so much of it - maybe 10 jugs - and because it looked like the kind we buy (we just get one small jug) when we go to Vermont in early autumn. Maple syrup comes in all grades and prices but I'm guessing the one she had was maybe $20 a jug. And there's no way she'd spend $$ on it. #grifter If someone can get a closer look it would be pretty easy to price.
Does anyone think that they will show Jon driving the BBB with all the kids from the yard sale? They would have to. Are they just going to show it winding down with the kids still there and then show scenes with out the kids and kate doing the voiceover saying what a success it was raising money for the animal rescue?
IF this actually happened:
I would love to see Steve walking in the background over to Jon when he was with the kids and Steve supposedly said, Time for them to go over to their mother? or something like that. And Jon supposedly said, You don't tell my kids what to do and Steve walks off.
She MUST be the center of attention.
She did it on CA and she does it constantly on the kid's show.

I do feel sorry for her for the recent events though. Poor girl.
8888888888888888888888888
I'm missing something here. What I saw was a 20 yr old, flapping her gums and flaunting the fact that she was a G insider. I don't know what possessed her to send the DMs, nor do I know for sure what the content was, but the last thing I feel is pity for her.
The other party involved may be the nastiest person on the face of the earth, but that doesn't necessarily make her a liar. As for the tabloids not picking up the story, I find it hard to believe they consider anything to be hitting below the belt. And as I stated earlier today, I think it's possible that there's been a quid pro quo deal set up between the powers that be.
...............................
I did not see the offending tweets, but the tabloids may not have thought they got anything which they have not previously reported.
She got an unexpected crash course on how bad the 'Net can be.
Her mistake was using DM instead of public tweets to defend her queen - whatever was said or not said cannot be proven. Anyone even slightly familiar with editing tools can doctor up a screenshot to make it say anything. Why was she following that cow anyway? Isn't reciprocal following necessary to DM?
She was naive and giddy from appearing on the show. A deadly combination leading to irrational thinking. Kate would be right to cut Emily off from future access to the family for that serious lapse in judgment.
Bill, I meant if they needed a guest room, the guest could use the garage, not the little room next to the tups' new room.Kate is planning it to be the new 'official guest room' she said. That room I thought would be nice for the girls to use for the vanities, clothes, projects etc,or just to get away a bit from sisters. I didn't mean the kids
should go outside to their bedroom, oops! How many guests do they have! We know Jamie sleeps with Kate, and then Steve??
I think Jon and Kate originally said the small bedrooms were nice just for sleeping basically so they could keep an eye on the children in the larger 'public' rooms, but also they could 'disperse' more easily, too. As usual, it didn't quite make sense!

Does anyone have a link to the most recent episode? I don't watch the show live, and checked You Tube but not seeing it, other than having to register to view, which I am not into.
Thanks! I checked TLC and didn't see it, but really don't want to give them hits either.
...........................
The first two episodes are up; two users uploaded them. Go search for "kate plus 8" and the words new and england for the first one. Rocking and boat for the second. Room and project should snag the third if it ever shows up. TLC has all three of them up on YT, but you have to pay to see them and they register the hit.

I always find it ironic when Kate gets praised out the wazoo for being such an uber mom, whilst hundreds or thousands of miles away from them.
She's made a job out of talking about being a mom, more than actually being a mom.
Then, when she is actually home, all she can do is bitch and complain about how overwhelmed she is, and how much she needs a break.
I'm beginning to think that her kids are so loud and act out because they are on hyperactive overdrive when she's physically there- it's like the intensity has to be turned up because they only get to have her home for so long, before she leaves again.
Someone posted that they said they saw maple syrup in kates pantry that was real expensive? Did she have a bunch of them?

Maple syrup can get expensive, but I find it at Costco, Home Goods and Tuesday Morning at affordable prices.
Anything else is sugar water with maple flavoring, so I'm glad I don't see Aunt Jemima on her table.
There's maple syrup, and there's everything else.

Thinking more about this, the move may be good for the boys. When they were upstairs, everyone can hear if they got rambunctious. In the basement, they are out of earshot for anything short of setting off firecrackers.

I'm curious, too.
Apparently, anyone wandering onto the church property passed signs that said they agreed to be filmed if there.
So, Jon was filmed, I'm sure.
I do recall reading that Steve seemed to go over and talk to Jon, maybe telling him to stay back?
Don't know, but Jon went right up to the tables.
His history with TLC is so bad, though, that I don't know if they'll show him.

Good point. It is a "school night" after all and if they waited until the game was over to go home, it will be past ten-ish before they got there.

Does she go to Costco? Maybe she buys it there. I agree with you about maple syrup. There's a great little restaurant not far from me that makes incredible pancakes and waffles, better than anything I've had. But because the cost of pure maple syrup is so high, they were using the fake stuff. When we'd eat there, we'd bring our own syrup (shades of Seinfeld!!) and the owners were fine with it. Last time we went, they began serving the real stuff, but charge $1.00 extra per person if you'd rather have that over the sugar syrup.

Seeing the words old, shoemaker and kids so closely together caused me to remember this:
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.

She gave them some broth without any bread;
Then whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.

And since she's piecing and patching, why not one of her 4 siblings?

And Kate's refusal or blindness to all of her contradicting statements go on forever.
I remember reading once about phrases liars tend to use frequently. Her absolutes, "100% truth...I always. ..I never." The constant innuendo and half truths. I can't believe anyone trusts her
I don't think she has changed. The paint on the floor in the recent episode was just like the gum in the bear, how many years ago. Only difference no adult around to disagree or even buffer the situation.

If they wait until later, they might have to sleep at his house. We're expecting a heavy snowfall here, starting in the afternoon and lasting into Monday. Most likely there will be a delay and they'll get to sleep in.

Exactly. The point for me is that Kate couldn't simply let Jon say whatever, who cares--her hatred of him consumes her and she just HAD to throw him under the bus, repeatedly.
I think the reality was she didn't hear about Jon's interview and didn't realize he spilled the beans about what really happened when it came to custody during her stint on CA. Then she just got defensive about the story she put out there. Perhaps the Montana friends did house sit or help with the twins or get the kids to NYC. Perhaps that was not significant enough to Jon to make his "like" 3 weeks untrue.. Like so many things, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
Of all of the women who were on CA, I think she is trying to emulate Leeza. Well-spoken, intelligent, classy and low-drama--isn't that the image she has been trying to sell?
&&&
Totally agree. I think this business idea for single moms is her way to be doing her own thing like Leeza does. Only she won't think it through will be lazy won't follow through and it'll fail. The only sad/funny part about it is it took her this long to notice this is what so many other celebs do. She had to actually have women doing this thrown in her face to catch on.
Ian said in his tweet that while some may take his game playing personal, that is brought there by their own ego's.
Huh. Wonder who he might be talking about....that woman who was so wound about the girl drama?
He goes on to say that it's just a game, but a game in which only one person remains standing. And his goal was to win at every task, so that he could be the last man standing, thus winning the most $ for his charity.
Someone else's goal was to be seen as a celebrity (and away from her kids). Raising $ for her charity was last on the list, if it was even on the list.
Camp who? Oh. I have to raise money? From who? Waddya mean you didn't give a pre-vetted list of people to call?
I think that TFW needs to decide whether it's more important that Jon earn money so that he isn't a 'deadbeat dad' (not that I'm saying that he is), or if it's more important that he have absolutely NONE of the limelight.
Look how she freaks when she thinks anyone is trying to step into the spotlight with her.
Her actions so far have said that it's most important to her that he not have any celebrity. The fact that she & TLC took away his means of earning a good income was just a bonus.
If it was truly important to her that he contribute financially, why not let him do the Divorced Dads thing? Or have TLC pay for him to go to school and get some kind of formal education? They could have even filmed it.
Is there any proof that Jon exchanged no child support for allowing Kate to film the kids without objection?
&&&'
Not only is there no proof, but it would be illegal to cook up such an arrangement according to PA's own laws. You cannot "bargain away" child support in the great state of PA and in most other states. It is calculated completely separate from everything else.

Sadly I think you're right...I should have thought of that .
There was a bed with what looked like a cow hide thing on it already in place.I thought maybe that was one of the twins' bed but they have those wooden beds they had as kids... I'm still duped I guess!

I just got my Pioneer Girl book! Will start it tonight !

Dog update : my dog (cockapoo) is 2 weeks post-op hemi-laminectomy. She can stand several seconds, walk a few wobbly steps, and knows when she has to urinate/defecate and it distresses her to go in her bed- she cries & shakes, but she is not always successful when outside.( almost 3 feet and another foot expected Sun-Mon.) This is very tiring ! Our post-op check-up was disappointing given the $ we paid: the neurosurgeon, after removing her stitches, came out to the waiting room, and still standing, said she was in the normal recovery range although he would have liked to see more walking ability. The L side is quite weak. That was it! So I am being a little more aggressive but doesn't that contradict the strict crate rest? Doing our best, mainly me as my husband and kids work.Range of motion 4 x a day. and all the things you've all suggested plus what I know/read.
Any more thoughts? I hope she improves, as we were told a good 90 % chance of full recovery. Poor very fuzzy baby.(needs grooming!)

&&&
Yes, and I'm afraid she's decided.
She also needs to decide whether it's more important she hate Jon and convince everybody else to hate him too, or whether it's more important she encourage a loving and positive relationship with his children, which includes not tolerating her own fans feeding the parental alienation, and to stop lying about his role and stop trashing him in general.

I'm curious how the whole donation aspect is going to be "played"
on the show Tuesday. Sounds like originally a portion of the
proceeds (or "prodceeds" for us old timers) was going to be
donated to the shelter, but then it was all of it? If that decision
is made on camera, that doesn't mean it wasn't scripted. But
of course the fans will never understand that. They think it's
a documentary. Oh, TFW has spontaneously decided to play
a superfun pumpkin game with her kids! She comes up with
the best ideas! And luckily the TLC cameras were there to
capture the fun!
Here's my snarky prediction. Just as the sale is ending, and TFW
has used the word "exhausted" for the 17th time, a 3-legged stunt
dog (hired by TLC) hops into frame, and ol' animal-lovin' TFW starts
to weep, and decides on the spot to donate all of the money to the
shelter! Yay animals! Yay TFW! Oh, the kudos she'll get from
the fans, who will conveniently forget that TFW was paid for the
episode, and that much of what she sold was given to her.
She also needs to decide whether it's more important she hate Jon and convince everybody else to hate him too,... 73
No grudge there..........

+++++++++++++
True, and the fans are too stupid to realize that if such a deal was made, then their idol had a part in it, which would mean that she participated in something not sanctioned by the courts. In fact, it would be illegal.
If they had any ounce of intelligence, they wouldn't go stating this as "deal" as fact. I can't believe that there isn't at least one among them who would understand even the "basics" of child support laws in PA.
So nice that she put her child's underwear hoarding out there for public mocking. Lovely.
Having your mother (and a couple of siblings) snicker at you on national tv for your solution to a problem that *she* caused.
I still go back to the fact that nothing is their own. Even their food. They can't even go sit at the table and feel like that's their plate with the food that they chose.
Nope. They have to have it served prison style...the warden chooses the plate AND the food amount.
It's like they're being held hostage...which in many ways they are.
She decides everything, and she takes away anything personal, ipads, phones, etc.
And she sees to it that they don't feel that they have anything that is their own. Everything is communal property, and she'll decide when/if they're allowed to use it.
Sad, sad, sad. This is abuse on so many levels.

Oops I published my comment accidently.. I meant to also say;
Did you all notice Kate when she was fired at C.A. she said, 'Wow, wasn't expecting that"?
Narcissist.
I have never seen such a sterile looking house. Those bedrooms were terrible.
And it's not that she was going to decorate. We saw what their bedrooms looked like on CWS. Sterile.
Look at that little room that no one had moved out of yet. Not a thing in it but a little bed. Not even a decent size bed, with a nice bedspread on it, with a couple of pillows. Pathetic.
She does nothing to make that place feel like home.

Would your pup enjoy a nice brushing? I don't know if there are doggy dry shampoos out there, and I'm not sure if you could use people products. Maybe even just some doggy wipes would help her to feel better.

And though I love New England (the region), my mother's people are from Connecticut, I dont like the ownership/management of the Patriots.

Back in the day, I was a big 49er's fan, when Bill Walsh was the head coach, and Joe Montana and Jerry Rice were in their prime. It was such a great era for that team. Pro football may always have had more than their proportional share of real thugs on the teams, but I wasn't aware of it and I don't remember reading so much about domestic violence, drugs, guns, and other criminal acts by the players as I do today.
Because I'm aware now that the NFL has happily turned a blind eye and covered up criminal behavior by their players, I really don't care to watch the games anymore. However, my son and his friends do watch football, so it will be on in my house on Sunday too. I'm going to have chips and dip, sodas, homemade sub sandwiches and potato salad on the menu. Don't care who wins lol.
She's made a job out of talking about being a mom, more than actually being a mom.

Thank you so much for the update. Thinking about you a lot!
Although our Bichon pretty much had motor function return after just a few days, we were disappointed at his progress. SO!
We took him to see a Rehabilitation Vet. Yes, there are Vets that specialize in that.
Take him as soon as he is clear. You will get an in-depth evaluation and a plan to recover maximum function.
You can recover more than you think, and you are still in the infantile stages post-surgery.
https://www.rehabvets.org/
For me, and my background in rehab, I found it helpful, and I'm sure you will, too.
Get another set of eyes.
Ask... is the neural tissue free of pressure? (from the herniation). Can it recover (often it can)? What can I do to facilitate recovery?
What is the window for recovery?
What can I expect as far as bowel and bladder function?
This is where you need to look now. Surgeons do surgery, not so much rehab, especially when it's not easy ;)
I don't follow Twitter feeds, and the only blog about the Gosselins that I read is this one here. That saves me from having to read or see a whole bunch of nastiness. However, Emily is not some naive and innocent young lady. She apparently has mother issues, which is why I think she finds certain adult female celebs appealing. She has the financial means and opportunities to get a higher education, to choose an exciting career path, but that doesn't seem of much interest to her. She is a nice looking young lady and probably has her pick of any number of nice guys her own age, and that doesn't seem to interest her much either. Instead, she'd rather provide free babysitting to Kate and try to imitate her looks. Pretty sad.
She chose to engage with another Twitter follower. Whatever she said in her DMs may have unintentionally revealed private information about Kate. Dumb! Instead of stopping at one or two DM's, she apparently kept on responding. Dumber! She's in her early 20's - time to grow up and stop pretending that the Gosselin children are her precious little buddies. Time to stop idolizing people she doesn't really know and start thinking about a life path that involves people in her daily life, instead of celebrities that she imagines could have been her mother.
I am amused that some Kate defenders think they can raise enough money to hire a lawyer to sue other Twitter people who might say things that hurt their feelings. If they could scrape together enough for a one-hour consultation, I'd be surprised.
Formerly and PJ -- Ring 5 has a whole line of pet shampoos. I don't know about a dry shampoo, but they do have a waterless shampoo. You spray it on then towel the pet dry. No wetting/no rinsing. I used to keep a spray bottle of it in my grooming kit for cat show accidents and it works great. Has a conditioner that leaves coat soft and clean.
Formerly, it's encouraging that your pup can walk a few steps already. As she continues to recover, she'll get stronger. If you aren't using them already, puppy pads (or disposable diapers, opened all the way out, or get people bed liners for "accidents" -- and these are much cheaper) in her bed will help. Makes clean-up a lot faster and less messy and may help lessen her embarrassment. A well-trained animal will sometimes hold it beyond what is healthy, so find ways to let her know that it's okay for her to let loose in her bed if she needs to. Good luck with her. She's lucky to have you to love and care for her. Much luckier than 8 children we all know of and are concerned for.
Thanks to you PJ (the person!) and Tucker, those are very good suggestions and I will follow-up. I just don't see how crate rest vs return to activity are compatible! I'm trying to increase movement day by day. Nursing people is much easier! :) I heard hydrotherapy is also good and you can do it at home in the tub!

*****************************************
Mel, I had to copy your whole comment because every point is so valid. Yes, it is abuse.
Even if she were moderately nice to her children, or respectful or nurturing or at all maternal, the exploitation alone is abuse.
Their own mother, and a production TEAM, creates and sets up fake scenarios called "memories" for her children just to be filmed and SOLD.
At it's core, we have to start seeing that using children as reality t.v. props is abuse, plain and simple.
Of course, add to that the years of filmed documentation of the vile way Kate treats her children, her own journals about how she abused them and yet, there she is.
Still on our fuckin' television sets trying to convince people that she's a victim in all of this.
The poor, put upon, good Christian, God's will, have to feed my babies, please pay my bills preferably in whole but in part will be okay I guess, need a t.v. show, don't need a husband got a bodyguard, boys are yucky and stink, oh you're thirsty? thanks for reminding me that I am too, do you have to breathe like that...
Oh wow...sorry. I opened a floodgate me thinks. Kate just pisses me off. And it pisses me off even more that there are people out there more concerned with making money than they are about the welfare of those kids.
Rant over. :D

Interesting interview with Kate:
http://insidepulse.com/2015/01/31/murtz-on-the-scene-exclusive-interview-with-the-celebrity-apprentices-kate-gosselin/
She refers to her life as "long and treacherous days".
"But I think with The Celebrity Apprentice, I was excited to do it because it was a challenge that I felt more suited for and I felt very comfortable in. It intrigued me to be honest and I was able to learn a lot from a lot of business savvy people who know a lot more than I do. I just kind of wanted to see if my long and treacherous days that never end at home was too much to do and if the short timelines and pressure at home would apply in the business world as well and they did. It transferred over and I think that was the thing for me. I wanted to prove to myself that the pressure of having 8 kids at home transferred over into the business world."
Another interview where Kate throws the kids under the bus and pats herself on the back for having to deal with them.

So @kateplusmy8 do you have your menu & goodies on hand for #SuperBowlSunday? I know it's all abt the food there! LOL #GameSecondary :)
You know that, huh? Why would you care if Kate has food or not? What's the matter...snow too deep in Kate's yard that you can't get close enough to the windows to check out what's in her pantry?
Gawd, she's annoying in addition to being nosy.
"It intrigued me to be honest and I was able to learn a lot from a lot of business savvy people who know a lot more than I do"
===
It intrigued her to be honest? Is that like being inspired to be honest (for a change). Oh, wait, she's saying "to be honest" as opposed to her usual lies.
Long and treacherous days? What in the heck is she talking about? The kids are gone from 7 to 5, five days a week, and every other weekend with Jon. Just how 'treacherous' can the days be if she's all alone? What if she had a full-time job like so many other mothers out there...when your work at home doesn't begin until your other job ends? Could she cope? I doubt it. I have yet to see anyone ask her what she does all day when the kids aren't home to drive her nuts.
Kate, if there is so much pressure having to deal with eight kids, then find a good boarding school for them. You have the money. What's stopping you? Oh, wait...then she couldn't whine and complain over her long and treacherous days. Adoration from the sheeple would stop, and that's really what she lives for.
"Could it be that it's the same person posting here and on ROL? C/P their own posts?"
In my case no..I don't post at ROL at all, and one of my comments is posted there. I will try and note in the future, if it's the same person over there, quoting from here, or different people. And, who they quote too.
. I just kind of wanted to see if my long and treacherous days that never end at home was too much to do and if the short timelines and pressure at home would apply in the business world as well and they did. It transferred over and I think that was the thing for me.
))))
Can someonoe diagram that sentence? Because it makes no sense to me...
"Treacherous" days as a parent? How about "challenging" days?
Or "tricky" days? Nope...she finds about as negative a word
as she can pull out of that tiny lump of Silly Putty she calls her
brain. And they're "long" days, too, folks -- not like the short
ones all you other mediocre parents must have. Her days have
24 hours in them. Don't judge until you've walked a mile in her
shoes.
She is an ungrateful, uncaring, undeserving pig. Those children
are nothing but a burden and a meal ticket to her. She makes
me sick.
Well, there it is..... Free camp for the kids (and Kate of course) Will it be filmed?
"They have actually invited my kids and I to go to their camp this summer (which we are looking forward to and hoping to do). "
I apologize, not sure who posted this from an interview w/Krieger, but I did my own (internal) eye roll reading it..
"I wanted to prove to myself that the pressure of having 8 kids at home transferred over into the business world."
Look out world, Kate's had 3 weeks on Celebrity Apprentice, she's ready for the business world. Who needs Wharton?
Thanks Kate is a twit, for posting the interview. Not sure what happened to my screen maybe went back a page.
I wonder which came first, CA opportunity or Kate's desire to enter the world of business.
Thanks readerlady: I appreciate the tips and support. I am really looking forward to staring the LIW book tonight when the dog is settled. You're all so kind.
She wanted to see, just for curiosity sake, if she could run a business like she runs her children?
Lol what a doofus.
"It intrigued me to be honest"
Pffft. How does one become 'intrigued' by being honest unless you've never experienced it before? And how, exactly, is a reality show where they play a pretend game, about pretend business, where you get pretend fired a testing ground for honesty? lol.
I am amused that some Kate defenders think they can raise enough money to hire a lawyer to sue other Twitter people who might say things that hurt their feelings. If they could scrape together enough for a one-hour consultation, I'd be surprised.

They are sheeple. That says it all. There just is no intelligence or critical thinking there at all, and it's sad. But just let them do it. It probably makes them feel important.

Millicent, spot on. She's not a 13 or 14 year old middle school student with a crush on a celebrity one week and then moves on to another the next week. Tweeting with a stranger about her involvement as a nanny wasn't just an error in judgment. She's a 20 year old college student who should have known better than to engage an internet stranger who clearly has some very disturbing anger issues going on, along with a frightening obsessive compulsion to go off on others. The content of those messages between Em and that person really is secondary; Emily never should have been involved in any kind of communication with her (or him...we really don't know).
In reading Em's blog post, one certainly can see that she has mommy issues, in addition to being a very insecure young woman. I can't figure out why she would even put that out there on a blog unless she's crying for help from someone. Why post those very private feelings for everyone to see? Something is off there, and I really hope that she gets the help that she needs. She may be a lovely young women from a great family, but I'd still be very reluctant to hire her to care for my children, but that's just me. It sounds like she offered Kate a free babysitting service and if it was free, would Kate say no? Doubtful.
Since Em is all about who she knows in the celebrity world, it's just one more feather in her cap to be able to say, hey, I'm not just a fan...I'm a long time family friend. I *am* someone. She seems to desperately need that.
I don't have Twitter and I'm not sure about this messaging thing, but to DM someone, does each person have to follow the other? If so, why would Em even follow this person? Certainly she must have seen her disgusting tweets about the Gosselin children. Em claims to love "her" kiddos so much. Why even engage a person who slams these kids? I don't get it. There must be something we don't know, and most likely never will know.
when Wendy Williams said that Jon doesn't see the kids, Kate corrected her and said that he does see them? How does that fit
&&&
Well the answer to that one is so simple I'm not sure why you're asking. Because there's photo PROOF he does see her children and very recent photo proof, like at the garage sale and having pizza this summer.
She can't very well sit there when there is photo proof of it and try to say he doesn't see his kids. That's not credible.
What she CAN lie about and get away with or try to, is the more personal, grayer details that Jon's friends and family know about, but the general public doesn't necessarily really hear much about to realize she's lying.
Kate's manipulative and she's cunning. She knows just how much to push a lie and she knows exactly what she can and can't get away with. That I give her credit for. Quite frankly, she's not dumb enough to peddle a lie like the one you suggested. She had to admit that one to Wendy.

Is it too early to start Super Bowl drinking?
She knows just how much to push a lie and she knows exactly what she can and can't get away with (admin, 129).

Yep. Totally agree, but yet she pushed the lie about the breast implants, even though there are photos to prove that she bought new boobs.
"They have actually invited my kids and I to go." Ms. Perfect
Grammar, it's "my kids and ME." Here's a hint -- take out the
"my kids" part and say the sentence. You'd know "they invited I"
is wrong, but "they invited me" is right.
Not sure why TFW is excited about visiting the camp. According
to her, all the parents get to drink wine and complain about their
burdens. She already does that on Twitter.
"It intrigued me to be honest"
Pffft. How does one become 'intrigued' by being honest unless you've never experienced it before? And how, exactly, is a reality show where they play a pretend game, about pretend business, where you get pretend fired a testing ground for honesty? lol. (AuntieAnn, 127).
))))))
lol!
I think what she meant was, "To be honest, it intrigued me" (the idea of being on CA). She mixes up her speech patterns the same way she tweets. Backwards and confusing!

Admin, I agree only too a point. She is only successful in her cunning and manipulative ways to those who don't pay attention or are not very bright.
And, I think a lot of talk show hosts are handcuffed to a script, or they really don't care.
Their comfy couch is made for only upbeat conversation, nothing too heavy. I imagine Kate, filled up on Starbucks, away from the kids, hair and makeup done and thinking about another night in NY with her bodyguard, well I imagine she can be pleasant.
In the real world, with her day to day pressures its obvious she has been unable to hold a relationship with any adult for more than a short time.
Someday if I can stomach it I will watch the interview with Bethany, who I understand asked some uncomfortable questions.
Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen, Whoopi Goldberg, Robert Hoffman, Shawn Tuma, Admin and her crew, and we who post, see right through the smoke and mirrors.
I hope Jon has a junk food buffet for the kids tomorrow if it is his custody weekend. Have some fun with them and let them choose what they want to do and eat. They dont need to watch the game. I never did as a child at a party. Most of us would play games at the tups age and read teen magazines and take the silly quizzes out loud at the twins age.
I just stumbled across a reality show called The Wahlburgers, with Mark Wahlburg and his brothers. Guess what, Marky Mark was one of 9 countem 9 kids!!

She's trying so hard to sound like a business person now that she's had some airtime on CA and it's not working. She's got all these little speeches memorized but she keeps screwing them up.
It intrigued me to be honest...I do not move on and hold grudges. haha. Keep trying Kate.
History - The photos of her baking cookies, bare foot, pedicure, holding an empty mixing bowl, makeup all done, kitchen spotless. Photos of burned pizza, All grooming the public for her cookbook.
Now she says she learned so much from such business savvy people, oh God reading that interview made me ill.
Kate is trying to razzle dazzle America once again, now, Ta-da! She is a business woman!
Christian homemaker - toured for donations
Wretch to her husband- this she was most successful at
Runner - talked of designing athletic apparel
Cook book author - talked of cooking show
Business Lady- with a man accused of, on more than one occasion physically abusing his spouse.

. I just kind of wanted to see if my long and treacherous days that never end at home was too much to do and if the short timelines and pressure at home would apply in the business world as well and they did. It transferred over and I think that was the thing for me.
Can someonoe diagram that sentence? Because it makes no sense to me...
================
I know this was discussed before, but I really think that there is something wrong in the thought/language process. What's in her head (what she wants to say) just doesn't come out in a logical speech pattern. There have been so many examples of this. Something just isn't right.
Diagramming a sentence? I'd rather have a bad case of the poops and find that the only facility available is a gas station uni-sex bathroom that has no toilet tissue.
You know, I was so sure that TFW would use her children as an
excuse when she got fired. She didn't, so I will sheepishly admit
that I made the wrong call on that one.
But I think I just realized why she didn't use them. For those
glorious weeks, I think she forgot she even had them. She
was playing "NYC business woman," and those kids were
the furthest thing from her mind. Remember when they
were really little, and she said something like "no news is
good news," and that she didn't stay in touch with them while
she was away? This was probably heaven on earth for her.
So has Gladys had any response to Mr. Trump's re-tweet yet?
Poor thing doesn't even get a day off on the weekend. Don't

She's trying so hard to sound like a business person now that she's had some airtime on CA and it's not working.
&&&&
She spent all of what, three weeks around the likes of people like Leeza and she thinks she can do it just like them. She's so transparent. I think she honestly thinks she can just say ok now I want a business, and there it will appear. And that it won't take the sort of hard, long work and dedication people like Leeza and Geraldo have to make their various ideas a success.
She should have been inventing and reinventing business ideas and deals five years ago. That's where the real money is in fame, as any lasting celeb knows. She hopped on board the train years after it left the station.
http://insidepulse.com/2015/01/31/murtz-on-the-scene-exclusive-interview-with-the-celebrity-apprentices-kate-gosselin/
She refers to her life as "long and treacherous days".
"But I think with The Celebrity Apprentice, I was excited to do it because it was a challenge that I felt more suited for and I felt very comfortable in. It intrigued me to be honest and I was able to learn a lot from a lot of business savvy people who know a lot more than I do. I just kind of wanted to see if my long and treacherous days that never end at home was too much to do and if the short timelines and pressure at home would apply in the business world as well and they did. It transferred over and I think that was the thing for me. I wanted to prove to myself that the pressure of having 8 kids at home transferred over into the business world."
*******
How is it that she felt 'suited' for the challenge of CA?
Sounds like the only things she brought to the table for CA are the 'long and treacherous days that never end' that she thinks she puts in at home. Not creativity or hard work, or problem solving, or being a leader... nothing, nada. SMDH And, I'm sure the other contestants appreciated all she contributed. NOT
One thing for sure is that she's going to try to use her stint on CA as a springboard to re-brand herself. I think it's going to end the same as her dating show, the cancelled project of going around helping moms/families, her talk show hosting career, her career as an author, and her blogging career have all turned out. She doesn't see projects thru to their end, she has no substance, she's inauthentic, she is unimaginative, and she has a horrid work ethic. W/O the kids involved, she brings nothing of her own to the table. We'll see how her stint as a businesswoman has progressed after a year. I think I have an idea how it's going to turn out.
If they had any ounce of intelligence, they wouldn't go stating this as "deal" as fact. I can't believe that there isn't at least one among them who would understand even the "basics" of child support laws in PA.
&&&&
And if they had that ounce the reason that you can't bargain support away would make sense to them.
There is a presumption a child has a right to be supported whether that's by parents living together or separate. No one has the right to bargain away that right because the right belongs to the CHILD, not the parent.
Think about the consequences of allowing parents to make back door support deals and how situations can come about that are not in a child's best interest. If you just stop coming around for your weekend visits, I'll let you off the hook on support. Or, if you just don't put up a fuss about me not wanting to vaccinate our child, I'll let you out of your support.
Or, if you just let me film the children no matter how bad it is for them, I won't make a stink about your support.
The law sometimes makes logical sense, as it does here by now allowing such scenarios.

Ouch!!
So Donald wanted the "real" Kate on CA with all of her nasty drama.
Kate fails again.
Will Donald provide her with a business reference? :)
"The truth is, where there are huge personalities that are just going to make mountains out of molehills and talk about plastic and all that stuff, I don't get involved. I've done real world issues and real life problems, that just doesn't even feel relevant to me," she added.
http://www.christianpost.com/news/kate-gosselin-talks-getting-fired-from-celebrity-apprentice-slams-vivica-a-fox-and-kenya-moore-133352/#ixzz3QRzSxTsR
*******
WHAT real world issues has she 'done'?
&
"Gosselin also said that when she joined the competition, her goal was to win, yet she never wanted to sacrifice her values and morals because she was trying to set a good example to her children.
"I knew I had to practice what I preach, because I'm preaching to my kids. Don't be the mean girl, work hard, take any job. It doesn't make me feel good to be conniving and manipulative," the reality star said."
*******
It's obvious she decided she wanted to sell herself as the pure and innocent CA contestant in trying to separate herself from the 'conniving and manipulative' Vivica and Kenya. It's too bad that anyone who watches the TLC shows knows she's a fraud and nothing like the 'brand' she's tried to sell on CA. CA is a game. It's too bad she's so clueless about that and about life.
I'm so sick of her saying everything she does is to teach her kids a life lesson. If that was the case she'd have had her butt in a chair in a psychiatrist's office asking for help the morning after her show aired last week (well, long before that, but last week was one of the worst).
I was able to learn a lot from a lot of business savvy people who know a lot more than I do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a lot much?
http://insidepulse.com/2015/01/31/murtz-on-the-scene-exclusive-interview-with-the-celebrity-apprentices-kate-gosselin/
KG: I don’t have a problem with Vivica at all. I didn’t have a problem with her then. I think that I just was naïve to all the times that she threw me under the bus (saying that I shopped for too long or that I did this or did that). After about three weeks of her saying that “Kate should be fired, Kate should be fired, Kate should be fired…” by the When it got to the point where she was saying that I should be fired because my hairdresser (that I hired for free and did what I was asked to do) took too long, I just realized that the long and short of it was just that I was a threat to Vivica and she wanted me gone. To be honest, though, I don’t have a problem with her and the show is over. I hold no ill will toward any of the cast members. I’m not that kind of a person. I don’t worry about it.
========
Yeah, that's the ticket! Vivica was threatened by TFW and wanted her gone. Never mind that TFW rarely had a clue as to what was going on and if Leeza hadn't stepped up to save her ass in the Neat challenge she would have been gone.
I love this reasoning and I guess this is why her fans connect with her.
"I connected quickly with Shawn because I am a huge Olympic gymnastic watcher and admirer."
"I knew I had to practice what I preach, because I'm preaching to my kids. Don't be the mean girl, work hard, take any job.
((
What? She IS the mean girl, is lazy as the day is long, and has NO job.
She knows just how much to push a lie and she knows exactly what she can and can't get away with (admin, 129).
))))))
Yep. Totally agree, but yet she pushed the lie about the breast implants, even though there are photos to prove that she bought new boobs.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Here's the thing with her lies. For some reason, she can't get it through her head that there are locals who can very easily call her out on them and prove that she lies. I remember when she claimed that her kids were ranked at the top of their class. Kate, there are those who know that this was a lie. The school doesn't rank kids. You want it known that the children are doing well in school, fine. You don't lie about it. There are those who know the truth. Yes, she exaggerates (the two feet of snow when there was just a coating), but it's the out and out lies that are disturbing, and the fact that she never considers that there are those who can prove that she is lying through her teeth. She's always truthful and honest? Baloney.
Off topic...
I just listened to the weather report. Snow, possibly starting at 7 a.m., maybe as rain or freezing rain, changing to snow and sleet, or all snow beginning any time from noon to 7 p.m., maybe as a wintry mix, or it could be all rain until 8 p.m., changing back to snow overnight and ending sometime either in mid-morning on Monday, or it might be all rain before becoming snow again later in the day. Or it could all be out of here by mid-morning with only rain.
These guys get PAID for this? I think I'll just open my garage door and if the driveway is white, I'll shovel. It it's wet, I won't.
Kate's area is in the "up to eight inches" zone, so watch for the snowblower pictures, or spreading 200 pounds of salt (all by herself) or whatever.
Localyocal, according to the area forecast, you will be spared most of this mess. So far. But you ever know!
She spent all of what, three weeks around the likes of people like Leeza and she thinks she can do it just like them. She's so transparent. I think she honestly thinks she can just say ok now I want a business, and there it will appear.
====
That's Kate. She sees something shiney, points at it and says I want that. It's what she's always done whether it was a cookbook, or anchoring E.T, or DWTS, running marathons and whatever else, she thinks it's easy as falling off a log. It has never occurred to her that people actually have to WORK towards success. Then when she fails at it due to her total lack of effort she falls back on those kids to bring in the money.
What? She IS the mean girl, is lazy as the day is long, and has NO job.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
But she can't understand this, and that's what is so disturbing. Carrie Ann hit the nail on the head. There's no self-awareness.
http://insidepulse.com/2015/01/31/murtz-on-the-scene-exclusive-interview-with-the-celebrity-apprentices-kate-gosselin/
Murtz Jaffer really kissed Kate's azz in this interview. Jaffer has been criticised for being quite opinionated about certain Big Brother contestants in the past. His objectivity has been questioned and this interview with TFW sounds like he's taken a seat on the sheeple side of the aisle.
"MJ: Will you ever invite Vivica over to babysit for you?
KG: No. I don’t know that any of the cast has volunteered to babysit. ... I don’t know that any of them would be able to survive 8 kids. I mean if you asking like ‘would Vivica survive in my house?,’ I don’t know a whole lot of people who would survive in my house. I survive. I don’t know how Vivica feels about me or what her lasting impression of me is. I don’t know. I mean I have kept in contact with a few people but I don’t know that I spent time worrying about it. I really don’t. You have to understand when I tell you that I don’t hold ill will towards people. I realize it’s a rare quality but I just don’t. I’m too busy in my life to spend time snivelling over who doesn’t like me and who does like me. I don’t care."
*****
Good grief. I'll bet that just about anyone could walk into her house and manage the kids much better than she does any and every day. It's not hard when you're mentally healthy, mature and love your kids unconditionally. Just like packing for a trip, she makes even parenting harder than it has to be. She doesn't realize that her actions, not her words, are what and how people will believe she doesn't hold grudges. So far, her actions are sure sending the wrong message!
She's really pushing her 'brand', isn't she?

@mscatie @FaithXFox @SnarkyStudent23 @Kateplusmy8 PA doesn't give a shit about G kids. #evident
Right. That's why Rep Murt has worked so long and so hard for new child labor laws, and why hearings were held and specifically discussed the Gosselin situation, why Paul Petersen attended hearings and media events, and why even more laws have been drafted and passed since then. PA doesn't give a darn about kids or the Gosselins on reality television. Passing laws protecting them was because legislators were bored.
Is this the Cow/Organics person back on Twitter, obsessing again on the girls' acne, meds and slamming Mady? It certainly sounds like it.

I posted that I think that is Organics too but my comment must not have gone through. Yes, I have a hunch that is her. She has already called M bipolar.
"They have actually invited my kids and I to go to their camp this summer (which we are looking forward to and hoping to do). So that was a good feeling. At the end the day, I mean you can’t go wrong there. As for what is next, we are filming Kate Plus 8 again. I am having fun doing that and we will see what’s next after that."

Ah, so she's confirmed they've ordered more episodes. Spring break trip? Summer vacation trip? Of course!
I'm sure the visit to Camp Barnabas will end up as an episode on TLC, too.
"I posted that I think that is Organics too but my comment must not have gone through. Yes, I have a hunch that is her. She has already called M bipolar."

There's no question about it. I'd bet the farm and all of the sheep that it is. She already went after one of the posters on this blog and is back to tweeting Em. Here we go again. Wow. Talk about being unhinged.
I'm not sure what her "brand" is right now, but I do know that in each interview, every time she talks, it's about how hard she has it, how she survives eight kids and the long and treacherous days she spends with the kids. I feel so sorry for them and what they must be thinking and feeling to know that they are nothing more than a burden and the cause of their mothers's unhappiness and stress. My gosh...is there no maternal love there at all?
She really needs to see a psychiatrist. The damage she is doing to these children is horrible, just horrible. She can't keep doing this without serious consequences for those kids.

Here's the thing that doesn't ring true with Kate's business aspirations, that she's now proclaiming via any media that gives her attention, that she garnered from her experience with Celebrity Apprentice...
It's been a almost FRIGGIN' YEAR! ! She's done NOTHING in that time - since being fired except she has this 'revelation' that she's now able to be some type of business guru but she had nearly 12 months to DO SOMETHING! !
And, if you learned so much, why in God's name have you not done ANYTHING - and I mean ANYTHING other than go back and sell your children's lives to the voyeuristic pack of sheeple.
. I don’t know that any of them would be able to survive 8 kids. I mean if you asking like ‘would Vivica survive in my house?,’ I don’t know a whole lot of people who would survive in my house. I survive.

Really? Could she be any more ridiculous!? Or narcisisstic? My mom was one of 9. I never heard my grandmother talk about how hard they had it. There was just good ole Irish laughter.
She has so many rare qualities....she is one special-ish snowflake...
Doesn't hold ill will (as evidenced by her passive aggressive tweets about Leeza and Vivica).

Having a LATE casual dinner... And Zorro joined Aaden at the table to 'help' him eat his edamame #AGosselinFavorite pic.twitter.com/XZprRV7VYW
********
What an unappetizing meal that looks like. Served on a paper plate, dried out chicken fingers, a pile of dry looking edamame. Blechhhh It doesn't look like they use utensils. I know younger kids eat with their fingers, especially chicken fingers, and there's nothing wrong with it, I do it, too, but the beans? I guess if the beans don't have anything on them, but... gaaaaaaa
She posted this at 5:45pm her time and says it's a late meal? Photo taken a diff day?
Here is the egg. Yawn. Jon has the kids this weekend and I hope ALL of the kids are with Jon. What's funny, Milo said LOM said something about slipping on the egg. Milo #'d Three Bone Leg Break? Am I missing something, the broken foot was actually a broken toe but now has ballooned to 3 bones in her leg broken?

Whoopie. A couple of pieces of chicken and those damn peas again. Where's the starch on that plate? There's no carbs there unless you count the flour on the chicken. Those kids will be hungry in less than an hour.
Suze: Edamame is eaten with your fingers, you de-shell the beans to eat the beans, you do not eat the shell. And it does not look like chicken fingers, but a wing & wing drum stick. To me that is usually not a enough food. Maybe 6 wing & drum wing would be enough. The amount of edamame, un-shelled is about a hand full. And no none of my birds are allowed in the kitchen when I am cooking or eating.
One thing that disturb me was her answer about the dog, when Zorro is out the dog is not let in the house. So, I think the dog spends 90% of it's life outside. My dogs spend 90% of their lives inside. Yeah, Kate loves animals.
Loycalyocal: News flash, I was at the food store and someone ran into a bunch of stacked winebottles, and it crashed to the floor, wine everywhere. My thought was quick everyone get a straw, and then spit out the glass. LOL
FlimsyFlamsy: Actually, Kate did use her children in an indirect way. When she was interviewed, she compared the women fighting to 14 year olds, Kate has 2 14 year olds. The way Kate sat at the last board meeting, and let them fight/argue it out, not even jumping in to say Hey, enough, which is what a leader/PM/Boss does, Kate does this with her kids, let them fight it out.
Oh forgot one thing, Kate said in a recent interview, that she used/compared her home life with 8 kids, to CA. That is saying that what the cast did on CA is the same stuff her kids do. That is why she was so comfortable being in NYC on CA than going home. Besides the perks.
"You have to understand when I tell you that I don’t hold ill will towards people. I realize it’s a rare quality but I just don’t."
FACT - you tweeted "#TooScared" about Leeza Gibbons not
taking on the task of PM -- 10 months after the project.

--------------------
Has she ever researched foods that are toxic to birds? While the jury is still out on the safety of edamame for parrots, what if the plate contained a slice of avocado or apples with seeds? Zorro would grab those before Kate realized what happened, and that bird could be dead.

Of course you don't like the perfectly reasonable explanation why someone as manipulative as kate would sometimes tell the truth. I would expect no less! Lol why ask in the first place?
Not every single thing out of her mouth is a lie. The fact that she occasionally tells the truth does not prove she doesn't occasionally lie. That's quite a leap in logic there, but you're welcome to make it. Just don't land wrong and twist your ankle.

What I said about the kids not being abused is what I've heard the Kate fans saying. Basically, if they were abused they wouldn't be acting like they are.
I believe those kids are still being abused and are putting on a show for the cameras with Kate's permission. How confusing it must be for them.
Admin, I sometimes wish you'd publish the drive-bys so we could all have at it. Why should you get to have all the fun? LOL
On second thought, I lose enough brain cells reading the tweets from the sheeple that others post here.

Really? So what part of having eight kids prepares TFW for declaring Chapter 11 and laying off employees? At last report, one can't lay off their kids just because economic times are tough.
On the other hand, TFW has outsourcing nailed down. She didn't hire help to raise the kids - she just dumped the child-rearing responsibilities onto whoever came cheap enough to her liking.

Oh puleeeeze, get over yourself already.
There's a list as long as my arm with people we've actually SEEN "taking on 8 kids" that danced circles around you. Jon, Beth, Jody, Ashley...so please, just stop.
Secondly I think you're on Vivica's mind a whole lot less than she's on yours obviously. It was a freaking game lady, stop with the melodramatics and get on with it, like you seem to be spouting. Put your money where your mouth is.
I’m too busy in my life to spend time snivelling over who doesn’t like me and who does like me. I don’t care."
********************************************************************
That right there justifies her behavior. She has given herself permission to act any way she wants, treat people any way she wants because she just "doesn't care". Must be nice to go through life that way, isn't it?
It has never occurred to her that people actually have to WORK towards success. Then when she fails at it due to her total lack of effort she falls back on those kids to bring in the money.
**********************************************
I also think that in her mind she believes she IS working. She was genuinely shocked (the molar shot on CA proved it) that she was being called lazy. Again, someone else's truth isn't meshing with HER truth. And her falling back on her kids? She doesn't think "they" are working, on camera and off camera. She's always bragging about how she runs a tight ship because she has to and is expected to be praised for her Little Orphan Annie compound. Even if she begrudgingly gives them any credit or their dues, she will, in the same sentence "outdo" them in . Look at how she would marginalize Jon, made him repeat "Kate does a lot" even grabbing his mouth with her flappy hands to make him say it. Totally dismisses any work/contribution anyone else makes.
That's how she sees things, she'll twist and turn everything to suit her purpose and any critiquing is never taken into account, she DOESN'T CARE, she said it herself.
"I knew I had to practice what I preach, because I'm preaching to my kids. Don't be the mean girl, work hard, take any job. It doesn't make me feel good to be conniving and manipulative," the reality star said."
*****************************************************
Wow, that's one of the best examples of her hypocrisy, add that to the list
KG: No. I don’t know that any of the cast has volunteered to babysit. ... I don’t know that any of them would be able to survive 8 kids.
$$$$$$$$$
So she survives her treacherous life, and so forth and so on, ad infinitum. Sick bitch.
She wanted to see, just for curiosity sake, if she could run a business like she runs her children?
*****************************************************
Baha! Yeah, she'd be up to her ying yang with lawsuits
-workplace bullying
-mental stress/trauma
-unpaid wages
-poor working conditions (sweatshop)
-inadequate or non existent breaks
-verbal and mental abuse
-hostile work environment
Will you ever invite Vivica over to babysit for you?
KG: No. I don’t know that any of the cast has volunteered to babysit. ... I don’t know that any of them would be able to survive 8 kids.
***************************************************************
Stop saying those kids need to be "babysat" YOU don't even "babysit" for them

"Could it be that it's the same person posting here and on ROL? C/P their own posts?"
In my case no..I don't post at ROL at all, and one of my comments is posted there. I will try and note in the future, if it's the same person over there, quoting from here, or different people. And, who they quote too.
*******************************************************************
Bizarre and flattering I guess? Are they dissecting the quotes to using them to defend tfw or are they trying to pass them on as their own and are on 15 Minutes Gosselin Style "side"?

"So nice that she put her child's underwear hoarding out there for public mocking. Lovely.
Having your mother (and a couple of siblings) snicker at you on national tv for your solution to a problem that *she* caused.
I still go back to the fact that nothing is their own. Even their food. They can't even go sit at the table and feel like that's their plate with the food that they chose.
Nope. They have to have it served prison style...the warden chooses the plate AND the food amount.
It's like they're being held hostage...which in many ways they are.
She decides everything, and she takes away anything personal, ipads, phones, etc.
And she sees to it that they don't feel that they have anything that is their own. Everything is communal property, and she'll decide when/if they're allowed to use it.
Sad, sad, sad. This is abuse on so many levels."
*****************************************
Mel, I had to copy your whole comment because every point is so valid. Yes, it is abuse.
Even if she were moderately nice to her children, or respectful or nurturing or at all maternal, the exploitation alone is abuse.
Their own mother, and a production TEAM, creates and sets up fake scenarios called "memories" for her children just to be filmed and SOLD.
At it's core, we have to start seeing that using children as reality t.v. props is abuse, plain and simple.
Of course, add to that the years of filmed documentation of the vile way Kate treats her children, her own journals about how she abused them and yet, there she is.
Still on our fuckin' television sets trying to convince people that she's a victim in all of this.
The poor, put upon, good Christian, God's will, have to feed my babies, please pay my bills preferably in whole but in part will be okay I guess, need a t.v. show, don't need a husband got a bodyguard, boys are yucky and stink, oh you're thirsty? thanks for reminding me that I am too, do you have to breathe like that...
*********************************************************
Had to copy paste BOTH posts because they are so spot on. Disgusting that we can still be discussing this bitch, she's the gift that keeps on giving

Thanks to you PJ (the person!) and Tucker, those are very good suggestions and I will follow-up. I just don't see how crate rest vs return to activity are compatible! I'm trying to increase movement day by day. Nursing people is much easier! :) I heard hydrotherapy is also good and you can do it at home in the tub!

One of our dogs had both ACLs tear and got surgery (several years apart-when one tears, the other probably will follow at some point), and he did a few sessions of rehab both times, getting electrical stim, range of motion and underwater treadmill.
Our specialty center has a full time PT who specializes in animals ;-), and we also saw a Vet who specialized in rehab, having been a PT.
I just kind of wanted to see if my long and treacherous days that never end at home was too much to do and if the short timelines and pressure at home would apply in the business world as well and they did. It transferred over and I think that was the thing for me. I wanted to prove to myself that the pressure of having 8 kids at home transferred over into the business world."
Another interview where Kate throws the kids under the bus and pats herself on the back for having to deal with them.
*******
First of all, CA is a GAME. It's NOT REAL!
Anyone who really is successful at what they do, in business, or entertainment, knows this.
All I can say about her barely intelligible sentences is that she's a really sick woman who needs help, and she needs to just shut the fuck up.

"It intrigued me to be honest and I was able to learn a lot from a lot of business savvy people who know a lot more than I do"
===
It intrigued her to be honest? Is that like being inspired to be honest (for a change). Oh, wait, she's saying "to be honest" as opposed to her usual lies.
******
You know Kate had her manager lobby HEAVILY to get her on that show.
This casual, 'oh, it intrigued me" is laughable.
Kate really believes CA is some sort of relevant, respectable bullet point to put on her resume.
It's just another footnote to her D-list life.
