Bullock has been uncharacteristically private since the incident Hear the call in its entirety here.
Read the full transcript here.
Here's some of the facts about this interesting ongoing stalking and burglary criminal case.
- Joshua James Corbett broke into Bullock's home in June 2014. Bullock, who had just returned from a media event, hid in a locked closet and called 911. The call was released today.
- Corbett will stand trial in Los Angeles. His preliminary hearing was today, in which he pleaded not guilty.
- Photos of Bullock and love letters to her were found on Corbett's person. He believes he is her husband.
- Bullock, normally a staple on the red carpet, has nearly become a recluse since the incident, making very few public appearances over the past ten months. The experience may have permanently traumatized her.

I think Milo is communicatin' with pumpkinbottom on Facebook. Jamie must have been dumb enough to announce about her vacay.
I don't know about Puerto Rico, but I am thinking Jamie was on Kate's TLC vacay. We'll see.
She can't be talking about filming. Putting "work" in quotations would indicate to me that she wasn't serious. She always said that filming was work for her but the kids were just playing, running in and out of the shots.
Admin....Going Clear did not air on HBO Canada, but will be released in movie theatres here in May; I am looking forward to seeing it. Did you learn anything new about Scientology from watching the documentary?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're right! Jamie was in the birthday special so obviously something has been mended between Kate and her bestie...or TLC cash.
PJ (#3), yeah, that was some confusing logic she employed.
As if even without the cameras, M or C might spontaneously
recite take after take of "This week on J&K+8!"
Remember when the poor kids were doing that magazine fall photo shoot outdoors wearing heavy sweaters in hot weather? They were working not only for that magazine that day, but performing for TLC's cameras. Later they were doing some indoor shots, and it showed
the kids getting some fun backpacks, and TFW's VO said something about always having "bribes in place" for the kids. Who needs bribes for playing?
Jamie has a few tropical pics on her FB. They could be Puerto Rico. Jamie looks very nice, more youthful and happy than Kate. Goods docs or good happy marriage. She's 4 years older than Kate too and doesn't look all worn out.
Has anyone seen the great documentary Going Clear, about Scientology? 139
I haven't seen it but read the excellent article by Paul Haggis wrote for the New Yorker a while back. They probably have it archived or there's always google.
Sorry for feeding the troll. My patience is worn thin for reasons that have nothing to do with this veranda.

Your continual mutilation of the written word
&&&&
Mutilation? I don't think I continually *mutilate* the written word, that's a bit much. Your hyperbole makes you sound nuts. Also, it's bleeple, not sheeple. Also, I never claimed that grammar was my best subject like Kate has, nor did I ever try to embarrass someone I love on national TV over their poor grammar. Like many non-fiction writers my strengths were and are in investigating, getting the story and then telling the story in a compelling way, not dotting the i's. Guess what we have copywriters to help with that. A whole staff of them. I have and always have been well aware of what my strengths and weaknesses are, unlike that child abuser Kate and her minions who think they're smart, can speak eloquently, and have it right about a child abuser and exploiter. I imagine right about now they're still trying to figure out that hilarious joke about that stupid pic of her slippers and the house that fell on her, so that tells me everything I need to know about them. Your analogy is a huge stretch and a completely ridiculous one and you know it. Calm down and have some pizza.
Joy, speaking of Disney characters and nuts, after all these years that Mary Kay Letourneau wacko is still a nut. I read that somebody said she's like a Disney princess who won't act her age and I agree. Her latest interview was wild and her much younger husband looks like he's finally over it now and wants out. Oh, sheesh. She's a narcissist, for sure.
Admin...I didn't get the joke at all about the house on top of her. I've been puzzling about that all afternoon....just did not see what they were even talking about...made no sense to me whatsoever. *Now* I get it. Dots just weren't connecting on that one!

----------------
Don't you just have to shake your head in amusement when someone criticizes another person's grammar and nearly always gets something wrong in the process? I read the tweets of the sheeple calling out the non-fan because someone couldn't spell "jealous," badly mangled the spelling, and told the tweeter that she should learn to spell.That was priceless.
These sheep/resident trolls try to flaunt superior intelligence, throw words out there without being knowledgeable in proper usage and think that "big" words will sound impressive! The problem is that they set the bar so darn low that it's both ridiculous and pathetic. They beam in blissful ignorance!
This, too, shall pass and at least we can laugh about it. Come and get your pizza before it gets cold! Mushrooms and pepperoni?

So Milo, you crazy nutjob, just exactly how does this work? Someone is actually paying Kate to work at home in her slippers, ya think? Unless she is actually declaring her misbegotten grifting as income, nuh uh. She's just a POS flaunting that she does not have to get up and dressed in the am.
OrangeCrusher1
I can't understand why Kate would take a picture of her hooves in slippers. They're hideous. She must be proud of them if she lets men lick them. Ugh. And didn't she have someone with a foot fetish following her at one time? Good grief, where is her head at? That photo would be right up his alley. She just asks for trouble, yet the only thing she's concerned about are the 'bullies' and 'haters'.

Oh man, that tweet was the best ever. And those slippers! Even better!
Since no one else commented, I'll go ahead. The word is
"entrepreneur." Gladys left out the "R" after the "P." Which is surprising, as I believe she fancies herself a "PR" expert. She's
bragged about her excellent spelling and grammar, so I thought
she'd like to know about this mistake, so she won't make it in the
future.

So, does anyone think Kate will go to the Kentucky Derby this year? You know a mini vacation, cause, Kate is always so stressed out, she has those 8 kids, big house and her stressed out career. (Kate terms: Kate is the only one in the world with 8 kids, her house is too small, and she only according to her have: hired help/nanny/sitter, lawn people, pool people etc, and the TV gigs that come every so often, and kids that are in school for about 10 hours 5 days a week, and when the kids are at dad) Yeah a lot of stress there!
So, who thinks Kate & flying monkey will do Kentucky Derby this year?
What a lovely comment about Saint Tony -- from someone who has
been in the business for more than 40 years. Whose opinion of
him holds more weight? And guess who will probably wind up
being invited back on the show, and possibly one of the tours?
Graciousness greases the wheels of the entertainment business.
TFW's "shunning" at the final CA show made that clear, but I don't
think she will ever get the hind.
For argument's sake, let's pretend Tony isn't a good teacher.
And you get him for a partner, and don't get good results. If you
had a modicum of class, wouldn't you sugar coat that somehow?
Say, "it wasn't a good fit," or "things didn't click," or, "we certainly
tried our hardest, but we respect the judges' decision." But TFW
whipped that insult right out of her holster -- he didn't know how to
teach her. And it spoke volumes about her.

How to be a gracious, grateful, likable, authentic, humble celeb, 101.
Even subtle things she does like showing up at the local organic farmer's market all the time, all go to her authenticity, because she preaches so much about that sort of "clean" food. If you're going to preach it, it's a good idea to get caught living it. Or if you don't want to show up there, just be honest and admit you don't really eat that way much. But the lack of candor with Kate isn't attractive.
There's a reason Suzanne is a gazillionaire, and that's why.
Of course she's going to the KY Derby.
The poor thing needs a break, like all hard-working, piecin' & patchin' single moms. After all, she's been working her fingers to the bone recently.
Going to 'work' in her slippers, vacationing in Mexico, out of the house many days for Celeb Appr activities.
Mel, you forgot their lovely, lengthy relaxation at the beach house in Maine a little more than just six months ago, with a really cool stop on the way in Massachusetts.
Poor thing needs a vacation from her vacation.

They'll have to find surgeons who work the night shift. Trolls turn to stone if they're caught in daylight.
So, who thinks Kate & flying monkey will do Kentucky Derby this year?
-------------------------------------------
I don't. For someone like Kate, the Derby is a place to be seen by important people and keep your name out in front of those who can further your career. As long as her benefactor was providing tickets to the exclusive area and getting her into the parade she was happy to go.
After the year where she went completely unnoticed, didn't get a ticket into the enclosed spectating area, and had to post a picture of herself to show her followers that she had been, I think she realizes the Derby is a money sink for someone of her status. She is a wannabe celebrity who is going to be perpetually looking in from the outside. The "me, me, me" attitude doesn't work in the real world. Other people want to see some benefit for themselves too. A good relationship benefits both parties. One person constantly taking advantage of every situation will quickly find they are no longer welcome.
Kate brings nothing to the table, isn't friendly or a conversationalist, and isn't going to part with her money for anyone's benefit but her own. She is the proverbial turd in the punchbowl when it comes to dealing with people of status and wealth.
I have never seen *anyone* get as many vacations as TFW. And call it work.

I love Face Off! It is a great competition show. And yes, the makeups are incredible, especially considering how little time the artists are given to complete them. The best part of the show is that there is no drama and no backstabbing among the contestants. They always try to help each other. It is awesome! The judges are great as well. They are quite respectful, even when they have to make some harsh comments while criticizing a look. Tonight is the season finale!

@ConcernedChick @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 Who gets up 2 1/2 or 3 hrs before the school bus leaves?
She once said that the bus pick-up time is 7 a.m., which means she has to be at the stop before 7. If she gets up at 5 a.m., leaves the house at 6:45 or so, that's not three hours before the bus leaves.
Milo now wants to know why Kate is getting up at 5 when she previously said 5:30. Geez, Milo, if you're that concerned, call her and find out! She could give Kate an early wake-up call every day.

Yes though in the update special I believe she said their morning routine only took 45-50 minutes, I remember thinking that was pretty impressive. So getting up at 5 am seems like an exaggeration no matter which way you slice it, unless it takes them over an hour just to get to the bus stop. If she's getting up just herself to do stuff for them before they wake, that's on her for not being organized and getting those things done the night before. Plus she has ALL DAY to do those things, she doesn't HAVE to do them at 5 am.

I thought Kate got up at 5:30 am and then makes a ' big breakfast' for the kids using eggs, bacon, homemade bread and cheese.The kids come down at 6:03 (lol) So add 50 minutes to that, and you get departure at 6:53 for the 7 am bus.I thought it was odd in the special that they feed the dog, clear the table etc before leaving- couldn't Kate do that when she returns before rolling back into bed? Then she could rise at 5:40 am!
@ConcernedChick @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 Who gets up 2 1/2 or 3 hrs before the school bus leaves?
She once said that the bus pick-up time is 7 a.m., which means she has to be at the stop before 7. If she gets up at 5 a.m., leaves the house at 6:45 or so, that's not three hours before the bus leaves.
_______________
It sounds like maybe someone over there (Twitter) has math problems. If school begins at 8 a.m. or shortly thereafter, and it's a 45 minute bus trip, then obviously the bus leaves before 8 to get them there on time! The 7 a.m. departure time makes sense, so if she gets up at 5 or so, then it's NOT 2 1/2 to 3 hours before the bus leaves.
Gladys -- give her a call and set the record straight!
Kate doesn't work, which means she doesn't have to get herself ready for work in the morning while also helping the kids get ready. Lunches can be made the night before and quickly tossed into backpacks in the morning. The twins most certainly get themselves up and dressed. I assume they wear school uniforms, which means there is no time taken trying on different outfits. Get up, wash your face, have a quick breakfast, brush teeth, grab lunches and backpacks, and out the door. I think even the 50-minute estimate sounds long. All Kate has to do is pull her hair into a pony tail, slip on some clogs or even slippers, and hop in the driver's seat (although I am in the camp that believes it is normally a nanny who takes the kids to the bus stop, not lazy Kate).
My son never was very hungry in the morning. During kindergarten and grade school, I packed plenty in his lunch box, so some food could be used during snack time and the rest at lunch. Then I would usually slice up an apple, some strawberries or take a bunch of grapes for him to eat in the car on the way, or maybe some string cheese. I saved the full breakfast for Saturday mornings.
Now that he's in high school, he gets up about 10 minutes before he has to leave, throws on some clothes, brushes his teeth and is out the door. I still prepare some fruit for him to eat on the way. Then again, we live only ten minutes from his school, so he doesn't have to deal with a commute.
I was running errands today. I came out of the drug store and noticed a bright pink business card under my window wipers. Several cars parked around me had the same card. The card read, "There is always, always something to be thankful for."
No ad. No name. Just a quick message to remind me.
And, I am thankful.
Dmasy: Isn't that nice? I wonder who took the time to make cards with that important message.I am thankful, too. Thanks for sharing that.
Re: morning routine. Kate has the kids make lunches after school for the next day and they said they have to pick out a uniform & pack bags the night before, which makes sense. All they have to do is eat, dress, brush teeth & hair and get shoes and bookbags. Oh- and do those chores Kate is too exhausted to do

I agree, if you have one or two kids. With eight of them, though, maybe she wants to make sure everything is in order, no missing homework, everyone has everything that they need. The last thing they want to do is to miss the bus. I can see getting them ready that far ahead. I imagine that with all of them, it can be kind of hectic in the morning. You'd think, though, that as organized as she professes to be, she'd have it down to a science by now. Kids are kids, however, and there's almost always one or more of them running around trying to find something.

As Admin has stated, I am Canadian and thus, use commas differently than other parts of the world. The way I use it is referred to as an Oxford comma, also known as the serial comma or the Harvard comma.
By the way, I'd call you on your spelling of "reveling", but I happen to know that reveling is acceptable in your part of the world. I would use "revelling", but then that's just me.
P.S.
Bazinga.

Yes, I'm thinking it's understandable with 8 kids and I even thought it sounded too short, not too long.
I assume they don't have 8 sinks, 8 showers, and 8 of everything else. That means small lines build up at everything from the sink to the shower to the dishwasher to the cereal boxes to even the car.
It's going to tack on minutes no matter how fast you move. Good for them getting out in under an hour. The 5am call time still doesn't make sense with everything else she's said. Kate really does think nobody pays attention to everything she's said in the past.
Actually, I wasn't referring only to the placement outside the quote.
&&&
But you admit that you were in part referring to the placement outside the quote. Which was just proven to you is correct in Canada, where PJ learned English and lives.
So actually, you remain wrong. Actually! Point, PJ!
I have almost as many kids at Kate. When they were all home (and attending public school-oh, the horrors of the mediocre, lol!), I got up at 445am-which gave me 10-15 minutes in the bathroom (besides the normal morning activities, it also gave me time to think *what day is it*, *who am I*, *what do I need to do today*, etc. lol
then, it was off to fold the load of clothes in the (1!) dryer, empty my (1!) dishwasher, take out and feed my (1!) dog; get the paper, turn on the computer, turn on the tv,....
At 6am, start waking up kiddos (and helping the younger ones get dressed/do teeth and hair, etc, and bring down last night's dirty laundry (and my kids used a fresh towel every day!, lol)..
. Start breakfast, which was always something un-organic; the kids that didn't rate it a 10 could have dinner leftovers (no mold) or cereal.
We left the house at 720-730.
Getting ready for school with a large number of kids IS a challenge...you have to ask each one of them...do you have your coat/calculator/correct books and folders/projects/athletic clothes (and you better ask if they have EACH item, I've had to more than once take one of them a pair of socks)/phone/purse/water bottle....and it doesn't matter how old they get, lol!
But, I bet she has the nanny take them to school. I bet she misses the paps showing up to take her pic in Ghettoville. sigh.
This is OT for Billy Joel fans. He's going to be a dad again this summer! I guess this means there's no going back to Christie. Darn. I kept hoping.
DWTS -- best moment was when Patti, who danced with an injured knee, refused to complain, saying that Noah only has one leg. I can see why she's loved by so many. She's a classy lady.
The 5am call time still doesn't make sense with everything else she's said. Kate really does think nobody pays attention to everything she's said in the past.
------------------
Maybe she gets up for some quiet time and coffee before everyone else wakes up. You know she can't function without her cup of joe.
OT. Is anyone familiar with chiropractors who use the Activation Method?

When I taught creative writing and composition, I had a student who used very strange punctuation placement outside quotation marks. I remember correcting it on her papers. One day after class she brought me the paper and pointed out that she was from Toronto and that was the way she was taught. I checked into it and sure enough, I was wrong. She was right. I was humbled. Students can teach their instructors a thing or two!
Whatever she said on a show about the morning routine was probably BS. I do believe on those mornings she is dealing with the kids by herself she probably is up early; however, I doubt that is her routine everyday. She has help. I would guess, though, that she drives the kids to the parking lot in the morning to the bus but someone else picks them up in the afternoons. That makes more sense to me. Whatever. The fact that she has kids that need to make a school bus does not earn her brownie points. They wear uniforms. The lunches are probably made the night before. I bet the kids make their own cereal too. It was BS about those big breakfasts.

Oh, and by the way, you used "Mom" in a general way, not as a substitute for Kate's name. Therefore, it should be lower case. Just wanted to point that out for future reference since you always pride yourself in perfect spelling, grammar and punctuation.

Yes, this is Kate Gosselin we're talking about here. This is the delicate snowflake who couldn't rouse herself from her royal bed until 8 a.m. with a cup of freshly-brewed coffee on her night table prepared by the volunteers or her houseboy-husband. A mother of six tiny babies and two four-year-olds doesn't get to sleep that late EVER unless there is an army of people there to help.
I don't believe for a second that she stumbles into the kitchen at five thirty in the morning to prepare toast and scrambled eggs, or pancakes and sausages. That shit ain't happening. Never did, never will.
That makes more sense to me. Whatever. The fact that she has kids that need to make a school bus does not earn her brownie points. They wear uniforms.
))))))))
I'm not sure what wearing uniforms has to do with cutting down on getting ready time. These are not uniforms that don't require any thought, such as the same plaid jumpers and white blouses every day. There is quite a variation in what they may wear and still fit the criteria for acceptable dress, so they do have to decide what to wear. With eight kids, I can see why she wants to get up early to make sure that everyone is all set to go.
I agree the big breakfast was probably embellished for the show. But when Kendra was on CWS, Leah innocently said Mommy made eggs for them on schooldays, as Kendra gave them cereal and fruit or something. I really believed Leah???
With eight kids, I can see why she wants to get up early to make sure that everyone is all set to go.
&&&
She can get up whenever she likes, but that's completely different than what she was peddling before. She didn't say it's hard at all to get these kids ready these days or they have struggles with uniforms, in fact she said they run like clockwork and are ready in 50 minutes. That leaves very little room for a uniform battle. She indicated they pretty much do it on their own now, without help from her. Moreover she says she's up about 530, not 5.
I think she just talks, and doesn't really believe a thing coming out of her mouth. I think generally the nannies probably do most of this, and she just made up whatever for filming days. I also think she says thinks to make herself look like a martyr, as if we're supposed to feel sorry for someone who has to get up at 5 am knowing she can turn right around and go home afterward and go back to sleep. Which is exactly what Joel says she does.
I don't believe for a second that she stumbles into the kitchen at five thirty in the morning to prepare toast and scrambled eggs, or pancakes and sausages. That shit ain't happening. Never did, never will. 91
IIRC at one point she stated that the twins had whatever the current version of Carnation Instant Breakfast is in the mornings. If she ever feeds those kids pancakes and sausage they're microwavable.
Her girls used to go to school with lovely braided hair, Kate's also said she flat irons the little girl's hair.
Kate can't braid hair( the best she can do is a ponytail), so that was proof the nanny was there helping get the kids ready for school.
Who knows what's happening now. I wonder what all those helpers were thinking when they realized Kate took all the credit for their hard work, since kate didn't have help. Poor Kate, sniff.

Yes, on an earlier episode when she was doing Mady's hair. I always wondered why she couldn't do the girls' hair in cuter styles but she did say she could 'not manage a braid.' Judy the nanny was the one who did the really fancy braided hairdos on the tup girls.

I remember seeing a picture or Nanny Judy braiding the girls hair a long time ago. She did a great job braiding their hair. Very pretty.
When you google TFW, a big article comes up about Jon getting a high-paying Dj gig. Then the next article down says, The twins want Kate Gosselin to date.
I am beginning to think maybe it is true. They want her out of their hair, home.
I wish she would say, One week of dates and one week of not dating works best for my family. At least they would get rid of her for 2 weeks out of the month!

Hi Lanc Native. Wearing uniforms still is more limiting than choosing from a regular wardrobe in the morning. From the way I've seen those kids dressed inappropriately for the weather at times, I think they dress themselves, which is fine, but I do not buy Kate wakes up extra early to supervise.
Formerly Duped, Leah probably just wanted eggs for breakfast and that could be something Kate does sometimes because it's super easy and quick to make scrambled eggs. But for filming, of course she wants the world to think she is in the kitchen slaving away. I bet if we could see inside her freezers in the basement, it would be filled with convenience food. Maybe more calorie intake these days?
I think she just talks, and doesn't really believe a thing coming out of her mouth.
*******************************************************************
I think she does believe it, but her beliefs will change like the wind. She can't remember what she "believed" yesterday, last week, last year. At the moment it comes spewing from her chiclet gum mouth, it's the truth. Then if she's called on anything YOU'RE the one who misunderstood, who misinterpreted, who is LYING. It can be as stupid as the details that's being discussed or MAJOR things ("visiting" their dad, sees them once a week, "good bra", not a nanny...) It comes up here time and time again,

A set of all-girl quintuplets has just been born. I have a feeling
TFW would've loved that configuration. No icky, dirty, smelly boys
in the house. No one has to read between the lines, because TFW
has been kind enough to share her feelings about her sons with the
world. Her most recent gem was complaining to the boys that
their room "smelled like boy." For someone who pretends to be
so particular about what she puts into her children's bodies, she
sure doesn't seem as concerned about what she puts into their minds.
Congratulations, Pam. I love trivia.
TFW had better hope that the all-girl quint family doesn't junp on the TLC band wagon. Interest wise, first ever U.S. all-girl quints trumps yet another vacation or birthday party for the Gosselins.
Congrats Pam! Have fun at the concert!
I Checked out a few DWTS highlights last night. After Patti LaBelle dance, Erin asked about her knee problems, Patti said it was fine, and Erin pressed her, because her video package was all about the knee. Patti said "the knee is nothing. Noah doesn't have a leg. I am fine. God is good." Her partner Artem said Patti is like this every day with her good attitude and graciousness. And Erin says "I'm going to hug you all day" and did hug her.
Rumer Willis was OUTSTANDING Monday night, if you did not see the show, check it out on YouTube or abc.com. another pleasant surprise was the Hough cousin Riker, he danced as Captain Jack Sparrow to Pirates of Caribbean theme And did a terrific job! he had been my least favorite contestant, and now I have changed my mind about him. That is what this show can do, take someone you really don't know anything about and show just how hard they are willing to work and demonstrate their talent.

Undisputedly true. There are so many years of interviews and episodes that prove this as fact.
Heck, just watch Kate's numerous basement throne proclamations of "fact", such as the "new Gosselin family traditions".
Kate spews forth these statements without blinking, and yeah, I think she believes most of them. Mostly, because she thinks TLC will be around forever, paying for her lifestyle.

NJGal51 (#118), yeah, TLC might be all over this family by now. And
there's a 3-year-old big sister in the mix, so that's 6 girls all together.
The Gosselins are yesterday's news. And TFW is 2 years away from
having 8 teenagers in her mine-all-mine mansion. Which, by then,
might have evolved into theirs-all-theirs mansion. I don't think TFW
will every completely disappear from the public eye. But she will
never, ever again be the media darling she once was.

------------------------
I buy it. She's in control and always will be. I'm sure they dress themselves, but I bet she makes darn sure that what they are wearing meets with her approval, uniform or not.
Another Duggar is courting. I guess TLC is giddy.
From what we've seen of TFW, she's more of a criticizer than
a supervisor. Remember knocking down all the books that
J had organized for the yard sale? She's quite comfortable
with the role of telling people what they've done wrong, and
seems to derive pleasure from it ("I'm in charge, and that's
never gonna change.") But I don't think she cares to invest
the effort in helping them get it right.
Uh oh. The mom of quints has a blog http://itsabuzzworld.com/, thanks God for her babies, and the new parents — who already had a three-year-old daughter called Blayke — used intrauterine insemination (IUI) for both pregnancies after struggling to conceive and said they "never imagined" what was in store for them when they set out to grow their family.

Redbird, I assume you have your own bathroom. Surely, residents don't have to share do they?
Also, I never saw Judy braid their hair. Her face was always blurred. I never saw a blurry face braid their hair either.
Btw, my mom has her own private bathroom in the nursing home. Thank God, because that would have caused so much more upset with her. It is a big walk in shower, almost like a small closet, with a built in bench to sit on, and a place for her feet to rest as well. That helps her with her back.
It has multiple sprayers and a hand held. She has a nursing assistant nearby, and at times uses the sprayer to help her out. But the setup is such that she can actually "soak" on the bench with water coming from 2 sprayers.
I have been there once, brother's not at all. She hasn't left her room yet. Still in the pouting stage. No room mate, which I am so thankful for. I got a call yesterday that she is being very mean to the staff, especially a male aide and has demanded he never enter her room.
The manager said they cannot always accommodate that request, but will try, especially when it concerns "private concerns".

I've noticed she's not big on praise, only criticism. That parenting style can get very frustrating for a child, because you do so many things well but never hear a peep about it, then the one time you screw up you never hear the end of it. Actually, it's also an ineffective management style for adults, too.

Not that so much, as a big huge freaking deal is made of it. On national tv, for the whole world to know. Nothing like making someone feel small and worthless.
And it's not ever over anything big. It's not a like big sin was committed, it's just something done in a way that mama don't like. At that moment in time.
You know another thing about their gofundme page is they talk about how some of her appointments are costing them $6,000 a pop. And their insurance is where? Every time these pages crop up we hear some sob story about incredible medical bills and nobody, nobody dares to ask what's going on with their insurance.
I'm sorry but if you are going to take on fertility treatments that puts you at risk of having 5 kids at once, you need to make sure you can afford insurance that covers the unexpected. Increase your premiums, shop around. If you still can't afford it perhaps they should have stopped at one child. Lots of people only have one child because children are so expensive, tough. Personally I think it's generally unfair to expect complete strangers to pick up the tab due to their own poor planning. They seem like intelligent, well put together, responsible people. According to their web site they built their own house, have jobs, live a middle class lifestyle, so I have no idea why they didn't properly plan for this scenario. And frankly I think any donor need to be asking such questions without fear of being labeled a "hater" which is what happened when people started asking Jon and Kate similar questions. How unoriginal.
People think they are entitled to have however many children they like and if they can't afford it, there's always the public to pay for it, and it's not right.
She is positively insufferable. Oh. And nuts.

And stupid. It was explained to her multiple times that the program she used to make her stupid point was SUPPLEMENTAL. It's a few extra bucks. It's NOT food stamps, it's in ADDITION to it.
If you're going to go on a crusade about how the poor have to live on X amount of dollars, make sure you know the real number the government is actually giving people. Hint, it's a heck of a lot more than $29 bucks, Goopy. Also, I bet they're not wasting it on garlic, limes and cilantro either.

Whew, sorry, I have to rant here. WTF is with these Christians?
First, you look to doctors and science (not God) to help you have a baby, using medical procedures that carry known risks including multiples, then you act all gobsmacked and holier than thou when the same doctor, who NO DOUBT INFORMED YOU OF THE RISKS AND WHAT THEY WOULD RECOMMEND SHOULD YOU HAVE A HIGH-RISK, HOM PREGNANCEY, tells you that you really should consider selective reduction.
This just chaps my ass. I can't stand that on one hand, they obviously sought out the medical procedures and probably lied about their willingness to mitigate the risks to mother and babies if they got HOM's, then when they got a dangerous amount of multiples, beat their Evangelical breasts and waggled their Evangelical fingers, eschewing the doctors advice, and paint themselves as Christian soldiers.
And the same hallowed doctor who affected their pregnancy is now suddenly some sort of baby killer. Ugh.
Same damn thing Kate and Jon did.

My understanding is you don't "choose." The doctor selects the fetuses to abort based on what fetus is easier and safest to get to without harming the others, which makes sense to me. It's total luck, or bad luck, of the draw.
I have no problem with whatever people want to do when it comes to selective reduction, but I hate the superiority. And ignorance. Pay attention when your doctor is explaining things to you and you would realize you don't have to CHOOSE the baby to abort.
I jut read that 18 year old Josiah Duggar is courting a 17 year old. The girl is said to be a singer, published author and motivational speaker. Wow all of this at 17 and now will be married within 6 months. This family is nuts. Just because you don't kiss before marriage does not mean you have a values system.

You know another thing about their gofundme page is they talk about how some of her appointments are costing them $6,000 a pop.
:::::::
Reading what the father said on the Gofundme page, I didn't understand it to mean some of the visits were $6000 each:
Our first of many specialist appointments was $840. The most recent appointments have been over $6,000!
I understood that to mean their first visit was $840 and they'd so far incurred $6000 worth of speciality expenses.
But whatever he meant, I found myself getting angry as I read his plea for money. In my mind, when disaster strikes taking everything away from a family, for example the people who lost everything in Hurricane Sandy (many of whom are still fighting insurance companies, btw), that's a need that calls for charitable donations. However, when a couple goes to a fertility clinic and ends up pregnant with multiples, my heart isn't into donating. They PLANNED the event. They knew what the outcome could be. They weren't caught in a natural disaster that took away their homes or way of making a living, etc. I'll save my charitable donations for others, those who have lost everything through no fault of their own. This guy sounds like he was suddenly slapped upside the head with, surprise, surprise, multiple babies growing inside his wife's belly--how'd that happen? DUH!!
Yep, a van for 8 and 1500 diapers a month plus everything else is hugely expensive. Let's get strangers to donate!!! Yea!!!
To these fundamentalist Christians is Gofundme God's way of getting people to be charitable?
UGH! I'm making myself angry.

Out of context, yes, but look at the very next sentence:
"That will be every 2 weeks until the babies get here and now every week."
That sentence makes it seem like maybe they mean the 6,000 bill will be every two weeks and now once a week. That also begs the question, are they intentionally being vague or misleading or word playing about their medical bills so that people could easily misinterpret them to be much more than they actually are?
And once again I ask, where is your insurance? Surely paying for hefty insurance premiums would be less than paying 6,000 every two weeks, or whatever the number is you shady people.
I agree with others that these people are also shamelessly playing up selective reduction to get people to "reward" them financially. It's almost as if they're saying fine I did what you want I didn't kill my babies, but since you're the one who insisted I not, now I want my spoils.
They know darn well that gets the far right Christian pro-lifers to open their wallets. It's a form of manipulation, pure and simple. I wouldn't be at all surprised if few of these families are knowledgeable about the subject matter at all, but rather just chose not to abort for them personally and wouldn't care if someone else chose otherwise.
Case in point, my pro-choice friend from school had twins with fertility treatments and knew going in it could have been more, but she said for ME personally once I saw the ultrasound I knew I couldn't do it, that I was choosing that selective reduction wasn't for ME. Doesn't mean she's not still pro choice or against selective reduction on principle.
At the end of the day, they've got a whole lot more in common with the Kardasians than they would ever admit; generations of fame whores. 137
Tucker's, THEY'LL never admit it but I agree with you.
Why do families feel a need to have a BLOG about their families? Am I such an old, out-of-touch fuddy duddy that I don't have a clue? 144
Angie, I'm king you in the clueless category. If that made me a fuddy duddy so be it.
I went to the gofundme/busby fund and was reading their needs. It sounds like a wish list that TFW put out there to the world. Cribs, Van, thousands of diapers and specifically worded: unknown amounts of formula.
Since TFW read the McCaughey accounts in the paper or a book, she got the big idea that people, companies would pour gifts, cash, stocks, bonds, checks, gift cards in good measure, so TFW could get up out of her white plastic throne and order Jon to press it down and shake it together so it could continue to runneth over so it would be poured into HER LAP!
Looked up the McCaughey's name so I could spell it correctly and those kids are going to be 18 years old in November! If they wrote a book about their childhood, it would be very different from the Gosselin kids, for sure!
Kate must be livid another family is taking a page out of HER playbook.
(Leslie)
I wrote a post before I knew Josiah was in a courtship. I was asking is the public going to really be interested in these continued courtships if they all follow the same path of side hugs, no kissing, escorts, etc. I think the reason they are so poplar is the same reason Kate is. They are very decisive. People love them and people hate then. And they generate tons of comments whenever an article appears. And that is why People and other magazines continue to write about them.
But really it is the same stuff over and over. MIchelle and Jim Bob should just make a tape to play at all their kids weddings: "I can't believe time went so fast, I can't believe s/he is getting married, you are so beautiful/handsome", you are so precious." And the same with the "courtship" stuff being done over and over.
Yes, I believe this will still draw big numbers because of Jill's baby and this new courtship. And I think they will draw big numbers for years to come. But they have more than 15 kids to go. The public will tune out eventually. And the general public will be sick of reading the same stuff over and over about them.
I said it before and I will say it again. Kate will gain a lot of attention in a few years when all the eight are grown, dating, college, married, grandchildren. I feel sick just writing that. But she is decisive and tons of people will tune in to see how this kids turn out. And that is what TLC is hoping and BANKING on. Pun intended!

She is positively insufferable. Oh. And nuts.
***
And stupid. It was explained to her multiple times that the program she used to make her stupid point was SUPPLEMENTAL. It's a few extra bucks. It's NOT food stamps, it's in ADDITION to it.
If you're going to go on a crusade about how the poor have to live on X amount of dollars, make sure you know the real number the government is actually giving people. Hint, it's a heck of a lot more than $29 bucks, Goopy. Also, I bet they're not wasting it on garlic, limes and cilantro either.
**************************
No, it IS food stamps. The term food stamps is no longer used. Her error was saying that the $29 is per family vs. per person. The amount varies based on age, etc. so the $29 figure is more of an average.
The use of the word "supplemental" is because the program is intended to supplement what the individual can afford, not because it supplements food stamps. Clearly, you don't know the "real" number either since you think people get food stamps as well, so your rant is quite entertaining.
I'm not a Gwyneth Paltrow fan and her purchases made her look ridiculous, but her POINT was not stupid.
Buh Bye, Kate. There's a new family sniffing for recognition. I will not be surprised if the Busby's are on TLC. Not at all.
Out of curiosity why is it that it feels like only fundamentalist Christians have multiples? Or is it only fundamentalist Christians who TELL you they've had multiples.
--------------------
I think it's that people who aren't Christians are having multiples, and then telling you that they ARE fundamentalist Christians just to get the donations.
Case in point, my pro-choice friend from school had twins with fertility treatments and knew going in it could have been more, but she said for ME personally once I saw the ultrasound I knew I couldn't do it, that I was choosing that selective reduction wasn't for ME. Doesn't mean she's not still pro choice or against selective reduction on principle. 155
I have always maintained that pro or anti choice is a PERSONAL decision, which is why these gofundme accounts piss me off so much. I also hate that it's become a political football.
" We went over a year, trying different drugs and IUI procedures with no luck. Not able to do IVF because we had depleted our savings after the many months of IUI procedures and fertility specialists visits we completely laid it at God’s feet and said that we would try one last time."
Wouldn't you think that if you've gone broke after a year of trying to get pregnant, that WAS God saying "Try adoption".

Whatever she said on a show about the morning routine was probably BS. ... I bet the kids make their own cereal too. It was BS about those big breakfasts.
****
That's what I think too. She claims to make the kids a big full breakfast every morning -- but given everything we know about how lazy she is, and how little she ever does for her own kids, I call BS on that story.
Lanc Native said:
With eight kids, I can see why she wants to get up early to make sure that everyone is all set to go.
*******
I think you are being very generous to Kate. While I agree that most moms would want to get up early to make sure their kids are all ready for school, this is Kate Krieder we're talking about. If she wasn't willing to get up before 8:00 a.m. when her six youngest were babies, I find it extremely unlikely she'd get up at 5:45 a.m. now. Tigers don't change their stripes like that.
You know another thing about their gofundme page is they talk about how some of her appointments are costing them $6,000 a pop. And their insurance is where? Every time these pages crop up we hear some sob story about incredible medical bills and nobody, nobody dares to ask what's going on with their insurance.
--------------------
You get fertility treatments and get pregnant with multiples, then you deal with it and figure out how to pay for it. This sounds so much like Kate when she went to the state wanting an extra year of care for the children. I wasn't present when those multiples were conceived and it's not my responsibility to donate to a fund me page out of the goodness of my heart.
If that sounds cold, then so be it. I'll save my donations for a worthwhile charity. I'm just sick and tired of these people asking for money when they knew darn well what they were getting into. If they were too stupid to know, then they shouldn't be having kids.

&&&
Wrong. Your rant is quite entertaining defending that goop. It depends on your state. From SNAP's own web site: "Households that apply for benefits under SNAP may also be able to apply for public assistance and, in some locations, State or local general assistance at the same time."
Read. AT THE SAME TIME. Thus, SUPPLEMENTAL.
http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/facts-about-snap
Thus, Goopy's little experiment means nothing, and she's being blasted on the internet for it.
Also, food stamps is still used "coequally" to mean government assistance. I know many people on government assistance and they still refer to them coequally as "food stamps" even though it's basically like a plastic credit card here. In California, the SNAP program is called CalFresh but used to be food stamps, thus people who used to be on it refer to it as "food stamps" to this day. So nice try.
What's more, the reason I can't give you a real number, and neither can Goopy, is because as you said yourself, it usually varies depending on family size and other factors. So, SNAP! LOL.
And since Goopy is in CA and SNAP would be CalFresh for her, here's a little FAQ for her:
5. Can you receive aid from other programs and receive CalFresh?
Yes. In California, 60 percent of the CalFresh households also receive cash aid from other public assistance programs.
...used intrauterine insemination (IUI) for both pregnancies after struggling to conceive and said they "never imagined" what was in store for them when they set out to grow their family."
-----------------------------------------------------
If they were far enough into infertility treatment to use IUI and had done so little research that they "never imagined" HOMs, they are either too stupid to be parents or too conniving to be good parents.
Ruh, roh. Deja vu all over again!
-----------------------
Yes, Yogi, and as long as people keep funding these grifters there won't be an end to it.
I have no idea why colloquially was changed to coequally, but you catch my drift.
I'll save my charitable donations for others, those who have lost everything through no fault of their own. This guy sounds like he was suddenly slapped upside the head with, surprise, surprise, multiple babies growing inside his wife's belly--how'd that happen? DUH!!
******
Agree, Sue Buddy. I'm a charitable person-we give lots. But, I'm not going to give these people my money because they didn't plan for the very real outcome of having more babies than they could afford.
They rolled the dice.
I would no more give them money than I would a gambler, down on his luck in Vegas.
I remember one Christian writer wrote a sort of op-ed piece on J+K, during their High Grifting period. She was absolutely attacked for having the audacity to wonder, "aloud", that Christians are so quick to overlook the entitled greed of J+K, and lionize them, when they were using science, not God, to manipulate nature.
Please note, I'm a Christian all for fertility treatment when the method and patients are very, very carefully selected.
But this woman had a point. Christians can be like lemmings when it comes to crap like this.
The Duggar's "Christian" life be darned. This whole family is one big circus.
When I saw the Radar article about the 18-yo son "dating", I thought, "who would allow or want their daughter to be part of this?".
At the end of the day, they've got a whole lot more in common with the Kardasians than they would ever admit; generations of fame whores.
-------------
TLC will air the birth of baby Israel on May 5 on 19 Kids and Counting.
Nothing is private when it comes to the Duggars. I'm surprised TLC didn't film them consummating the marriage, followed by the conception of "baby Israel." Maybe we'll get that with the next baby, which most likely will be in production next month.
What is it with these trolls who come here and shoot themselves in the foot each time? Are they gluttons for punishment? They call people out on grammar, and at the same time make mistakes with usage themselves. They try to flaunt their superiority be asserting things they know nothing about and then they are given the facts.
Yet, they keep on doing it. Why? Hoping that one of these times they will get lucky?
I think that it's time for admin to cast that "catch a troll" net again. It worked the last time.
If she wasn't willing to get up before 8:00 a.m. when her six youngest were babies, I find it extremely unlikely she'd get up at 5:45 a.m. now. Tigers don't change their stripes like that.
-------------------
It was different then. She had a plethora of helpers and she could let those babies in their cribs until she was darn well ready to deal with them. She didn't have eight kids to get off to school. She needs to make sure that they don't miss the bus. If they did, she would either have to drive them there herself (which she doesn't want to do), or she would have them home with her all day (which she doesn't want to happen)! Getting up at 5:45 is not too early to get up, make sure each child has what is needed for school, and get them to the bus stop before 7.
Who is Goopy?
Wrong. Food stamps=SNAP. The only other nutrition program administered through the USDA is WIC. Your claim that SNAP is in addition to FOOD STAMPS is 100% wrong
&&&
I'm sorry to use the word "food stamps" when I really meant government assistance. That obviously caused great confusion for you. When I said food stamps I meant, colloquially, any government program that can be used to assist with food. Federally, statewide, and locally, there are numerous public assistance options to feed families.
My point remains the same. SNAP, which isn't even called SNAP where ignorant Goopy lives, is not the only money many families receive as Goopy so wrongly suggested in her manipulative way. If it is the only funding they are receiving, it is probably because they have a JOB that is bringing in money as well that can be spent on food. I can't stand when people like her exaggerate a situation to make a point. California offers hundreds of dollars every month to each family on public assistance. It is not, by any stretch of the imagination, here here's 29 bucks now go starve.
The statement about the $6000 in appointments is worded very vaguely. He certainly makes it sound like they've accumulated that much already and will keep accumulating with bi-weekly and now weekly appointments. The thing is, unless you are having tests (ultrasounds excluded) all of these end of pregnancy appointments are included in your insurance. They all fall under the 'after you pay the initial copay this is all covered' umbrella. I always made 1 payment to the ob/gyn at the beginning and that was it, unless I had special tests to take. It's all part of maternity coverage. With HOM, I don't doubt with all the extra tests and stuff it's accumulated but the bi-weekly/weekly office visits are not jacking up the bill.
And those are some pretty nice vehicles they are wanting. What happened to getting what you can afford? There are some decent USED mini-vans and SUV's that will seat 8 people. I would NEVER dream asking people to donate for a brand spanking new vehicle for me, when I can go out and finance something a few years old and keep payments reasonable. Daddy may need to get a second J.O.B. to pay for it but that's what happens when you mess with mother nature.
If you were that desperate to have kids, adopt. Then you can adopt however many you can afford.

:::::::::
The human ego is an ugly thing, isn't it? When FB, texting, tweeting, Youtube, etc. came along people were able to feed their egos that their lives are so interesting and important that every moment of them needs to be shared for the world to see 24/7. While shopping, driving, eating, visiting friends, having company, that iPhone has to be within quick-draw reach, right in their hand at all times to avoid wasting precious sharing seconds while they pull it out of pocket or purse--quick, grab that call, text that brain fart!! I find it all to be so boorish/ill mannered. But I'm a fuddy-duddy, too. And for some mysterious reason I don't feel a need to share every inconsequential minute of my life, nor am I interested in other's.
. She is being blasted for the choice of foods purchased that align so perfectly with her image and for wrongly stated that the $29 is for a family.
&&&
Wrong again, she was blasted on the John and Ken show, her local radio station and the number one A.M. station in Los Angeles, for that AND for not mentioning all the other available funding to those in need. Just as I have been trying to explain to you.
http://www.kfiam640.com/onair/john-and-ken-37487/whatyoumissed-at-6pm-today-on-the-13501997/
And now on to the Duggars. It's like an assembly line with that bunch. 1 daughter courts then gets engaged; next out of the shoot another daughter courts, then gets engaged; next her comes baby; baby is born. Wait, what? Nothing to stir controversy? Dang newlyweds who wouldn't kiss for the cameras hasn't gotten knocked up yet! "Hey kid! Yeah you, you need a courtin' partner! Yeah, I know you're only 18 but that'll be good for shock value. Hmmm, who can we choose? Ahhh, a 17 year old, that's an even better shock value. Call up her mama and tell her there is a courtin-a-coming!"
Jeez.
I jut read that 18 year old Josiah Duggar is courting a 17 year old. The girl is said to be a singer, published author and motivational speaker. Wow all of this at 17 and now will be married within 6 months. This family is nuts. Just because you don't kiss before marriage does not mean you have a values system.
************************************
I'll bet you dollars to donuts that Josiah is gay. No bashing, no pearl clutching or judgement. Just he's gay.
Why do families feel a need to have a BLOG about their families? Am I such an old, out-of-touch fuddy duddy that this is going on all around me and I didn't have a clue? Why would people want to put their families' private business on the internet? I need a tylenol.
**********************************
I'm with you there
First, you look to doctors and science (not God) to help you have a baby, using medical procedures that carry known risks including multiples, then you act all gobsmacked and holier than thou when the same doctor, who NO DOUBT INFORMED YOU OF THE RISKS AND WHAT THEY WOULD RECOMMEND SHOULD YOU HAVE A HIGH-RISK, HOM PREGNANCEY, tells you that you really should consider selective reduction.
This just chaps my ass.
********************************************
Chaps mine too!
I hate those who use THEIR Religion to profit or fill THEIR SELFISH WANTS.
Personally I think it's generally unfair to expect complete strangers to pick up the tab due to their own poor planning.
************************************
You know what? I think they "planned" the whole thing, including putting their hands out for donations. That was the biggest part of their "plan"
I get the feeling that she is so lazy she can't be bothered to care what they wear to school or any other mediocre activity these days. She only cares what they wear or what they look like when there is filming to be done or photos to be taken to, you know, preserve all those special family memories and traditions.
**********************************
Didn't Jon say somewhere recently, or we read recently that the kids were not dressed appropriately for the weather? I bet mornings are just sooo cheerful and happy!!!!!! Her scowl must be extra special!!!! She cannot wait to get them out of her fried hair.

I'm sure Goopy will be relieved to know some far left 27 year old kid named Daniel D’Addario supports her vanity project. Also, he thinks Kristin Stewart is an amazing actress, so there's that.
So this family had depleted their savings, but continued with the
fertility treatments? They were already a family of 3. That seems
irresponsible, even with the noblest of intentions. But, yeah, that
"you could've knocked us over with a feather" jazz sounds a bit
disingenuous to me.
Tucker's Mom, from what we've heard and read so far about this
family, I'd say the odds are about 99.9% that they'd sign on for
a show in a heartbeat. A family with the chutzpah to ask strangers
to buy them a brand new van? Oh, hell, yes, they're ready for the
spotlight.
Looked up the McCaughey's name so I could spell it correctly and those kids are going to be 18 years old in November! If they wrote a book about their childhood, it would be very different from the Gosselin kids, for sure!

Amen. The M. family could go back, and they did.
I couldn't pick out one of those kids in a line up, and the name doesn't set off alarms in my head, like "Gosselin".
In fact, I really feel for anyone with that surname?
You know what? I think they "planned" the whole thing, including putting their hands out for donations. That was the biggest part of their "plan"

Any bets that either the husband or wife or both watched Kate's circus on television and thought that hey, they can do it, too! Freebies, a van, vacations...here we come!
I think it's that people who aren't Christians are having multiples, and then telling you that they ARE fundamentalist Christians just to get the donations.

Whatever they were before the treatments, when she gets pregnant they will become fundamentalist Christians as soon as possible.

Why would he be "courting" a girl if he's gay? Would he get married to hide it and not come out of the closet? I mean, I know they're nuts, but I'm not sure that they are that far gone.

Amen. Fuddy Duddy here, too. I don't have Twitter or FB or Instagram or any of that. Good gosh. Some things in life are private and in my opinion, should remain private. The Duggars all should be sent somewhere for a psych evaluation. Something is seriously wrong there. Just think, if courting and babies make the news every time one of them marries or gets pregnant, they'll be in the news for the next several decades. I think that family is as much of a fame whore as Kate, if not more (if that's possible). Enough is enough.

Yes, but it was about a field trip in 2010. The kids had sweatshirts rather than jackets on a cool autumn day. It seems the girls wear tank tops a lot, even in winter, which is odd when Kate likes to keep the house cold. One special she had on a quilted vest and long sleeved shirt but Mady had a tank top. One of the Xmas shots in her crookbook showed the twins in tanks. The other girls seem to wear them often, too. Maybe it's their choice, though. I never thought it was a problem but Kate did say they all pick their own stuff now. But I do recall Kate being upset they had to cover their 4th of July outfits with rain jackets.They always have look well-dressed although messy, to me.
OT to LHOTP fans. The Queens Treasures just announced it will be selling 15 and 18 inch dolls and accessories based on the books. And ironically the small family run businesses is located near TFW and they do have a brick and mortar store

I only read one post from someone who thinks that he's gay. I really doubt it. Awhile back, someone posted a same-sex "kissing" photo on the Duggar FB and Michelle and Big Jim Bob had it removed. I know nothing about the religion that they embrace, but I'm willing to bet they don't take too kindly to those in the gay community.
Why would he be "courting" a girl if he's gay? Would he get married to hide it and not come out of the closet? I mean, I know they're nuts, but I'm not sure that they are that far gone. 190
I have NO DOUBT that they go that far.
If he is in fact gay, they'd want to marry him off asap, to a young and presumably naive woman. Doesn't Jim Bob select their partners?

---------------------------
A friend once asked me for advice about a similar problem. Her daughter insisted on wearing a sweatshirt instead of jacket to school, and the teachers thought it wasn't warm enough.
My advice was to make sure her daughter had a jacket she liked, and if she didn't, to take her out and buy her one. Despite having a large supply of jackets from various sources, the daughter didn't really like any of them, nor had she chosen to buy/obtain them. New jacket of daughter's choice within budget bought, problem solved. My friend was amazed how easy it was.
