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 can't answer your first question but as for the second, every fundamentalist religion that I'm familiar with ( as well as some.others) consider homosexuality a sin.
Blogger is annoyingly hungry lately. Grrr.
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.
*********
LMAO! Kristen Stewart gets an Oscar for acting like she's constantly constipated, and smelling a skunk's butt.
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!

Paging Dr. Glassman...
Statistically speaking, it would not be surprising that 1 of 19 kids ( gender unspecified) would be gay. Not an absolute though.

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.
******
"Why?" is easy- their fundamentalists and believe being gay is a choice, and they can "pray the gay away".
Many gay men marry in an attempt to repress their true sexual preference.
Can you imagine the pressure on a Duggar? They are known around the globe as fundy Christians who are put on this Earth to make babies that will make more babies.
I don't follow the show, but have read the comments about this boy maybe being gay, and if he is, I hope he is very, very strong.
Also, he thinks Kristin Stewart is an amazing actress, so there's that.

Don't you just want to smack Kate in the head! She is wishing some of her flock, birthday wishes back, along with I don't want to re-do my birthday again. Tell me people, how many of you get an all expense paid birthday mini-vacation to Mexico with your kids, nannies, sitter boy/flying monkey/love muffin, a spa, etc? And she complains/whines about her 40th birthday! Most people I knew & know, are lucky if they go to a restaurant, or have a small party at home with a cake, or a family party. Very few people can go on an all expense paid birthday, most people pay their own way if they can afford it. Kate's got her gall, to complain/whine.

Where did all of this come from? Just a rumor from someone who doesn't like the Duggar family? It's very easy to say that this person or that person "may be" gay, but geez, if one is going to spread something like that, then he better have something to back it up. This isn't something that a young kid like that would let go in one ear and out the other. He could very well be bothered by it if it were totally untrue.
I don't follow the show because I think they're all a bit on the loony side, but rumors like that hurt, especially if there is no truth to it whatsoever. I seriously doubt that he would be the next one to get married if he is gay. If it's true, and this couple is heading toward the altar, they better hope those prayers to make it go away are expedited and placed at the head of the prayer list.

AuntieAnn, you are brilliant. Comment of the week.
In the grand scheme of the over-sharing on social media, I, too, am a card-carrying member of the Royal Order of the Fuddy Duddy. It boggles the mind the crap that people feel the need to share (and share and share and share).
I have a lot of family members and friends who are constantly posting photos and thoughts and feelings on Facebook. It is out of control. It doesn't help that there are five, count 'em, five new babies in town, making Facebook a veritable baby-palooza! Not only is the plethora of baby posts obnoxious, it isn't safe to be plastering a million pictures of "the most beautiful baby in the world" (x5) all over the internet.
This might offend some special little snowflakes, but my personal faves are the photos people post of those god-awful pictures they paint at those wine and painting places that have cropped up in recent years. Hey, I get that it might be fun to get a little tipsy while painting the exact same ugly picture that 10 other people are painting, but are people so needy that they have to share that ugly picture with the world just so they can get a hundred insincere "likes" and "that is awesome" comments? Ugh.
Rant over. I promise I won't start in on the new HOM family begging for stuff. My rant on that topic would qualify me to be the Queen of the Royal Order of the Fuddy Duddy.

lol! I'm not making goose sauce. I'm preparing gravy for the gander. Since the gander is male, you get two extra "organs" with it. Therefore, more bang for your bucks.
I'm not sure if the best way to prepare them is to roast, grill, or fry them and if they can be frozen. Better ask Kate. She took Jon's.

It boggles the mind how people are so irresponsible. Spend big bucks for scientific intervention so that you end up with HOM but are totally unprepared for the financial burden, stress, etc.

gar = far
I've never understood why couples with one child are so desperate for multiples. I'm infertile, and one child would be fine by me. I'm an only child because that's all my parents could afford. If you can't afford them, don't have them.
As for the Duggars, people on the internet have speculated Josiah is gay, but there's no proof. But their religion is against gay people, and I would feel badly for any gay child in that family.
I wonder if the public doesn't give anything to the godfundme accounts whether anyone will say it is God's will we pay for this ourselves. I'm guessing not.

teehee. I wouldn't touch that one with a ten-foot turkey baster.
It's entitlement and a lack of responsibility.
They are not entitled to have fertility treatments or have another child. They should only do so if they can afford all the real consequences including HOM. Some people may only be able to afford one child, it may not seem fair but that's how life works sometimes. There will be heartbreak in life and sometimes being responsible means giving up things you want. It's not up to responsible members of the public who only had one or two children to constantly be asked to bail out others. That's socialism pure and simple. Goopy and her minions should read up on the grand successes of that line of thinking before hawking it so strongly.

I didn't say that. I don't know who did, but it wasn't me! Honest!
"I want the young one."

Some of you keep saying that couples with fertility issues should just adopt. That's all well and good, but do you realize just how hard it is to adopt? It's VERY expensive, even if you don't go the private adoption route, or go for a foreign adoption. And adoption agencies turn people down for all sorts of insignificant reasons. A young couple who were neighbors of mine tried for 7 years to get pregnant. Had all the testing and everything -- no apparent reason why they couldn't conceive. Around year 4 they decided to try for adoption. Every agency they applied to -- and they weren't picky, they just wanted a child and were willing to take an older child or a child with handicaps -- turned them down. They were college educated, good jobs, nice upstanding good citizens, good Christians who lived the Word rather than just preached the Word. They were turned down because the husband had a very mild spina bifida. He was ambulatory but the agencies all said he wouldn't be able to go out and play ball with a son or carry his daughter around or roughhouse and wrestle with a kid the way a father should. Well, no, he couldn't, but he could read to them, teach them to play the piano, attend their athletic events, feed them, bathe them, tuck them in at night. Teach them how to live an honest and upright life. In short, be a FATHER. But that wasn't good enough. They finally managed to get pregnant using in vitro. Had premature twins. One died at 9 months and the other one had learning problems and vision issues because of prematurity. After all this, they became foster parents and were finally allowed to adopt one of their foster sons -- a child with severe learning and behavior issues -- mainly because no one else wanted the child. They've been wonderful parents, but it was a lot of grief and heartache and unnecessary aggravation along the way.
Did Gladys ever say why she spent time at the wellness center, or whatever it was? With all of her hintin' that she did, was anyone curious enough to ask?
It can be hard to adopt. You do have to pass ASFA, which is strict. If you so much as have an arrest for protesting in your college years you might have issues with passing it. Private adoption agencies can impose their own regulations beyond that.
Here, there's a shortage of foster parents, so if parents are willing to take a child in the hopes of adoption at some point further down the road and can pass ASFA, they have a very good chance of having a child. As long as they are open to taking a child who might not be the same race as themselves or a newborn. And at that point you need to ask yourself is it more important I have a child any child, or a have a BIO child. One would hope having just a child is the priority.
But I think that goes back to what I'm saying that basically, there are situations in life that are not fair. It's not fair when you have fertility problems, sure. Fertility treatments are difficult, so is adoption. It's not fair these things are difficult, but lots of things in life are. Maybe, a second or third child isn't in the cards. Instead of doing the responsible thing and accepting this unfairness like I believe most people do, some people get reckless and start taking on massive amounts of debt and grave risks with treatments. Then to make matters worse once the babies do arrive, they expect the public to help them. I just can't support that. Somewhere along the way something as sad in our private lives as infertility somehow got treated differently than other equally sad things in our private lives that happen to people that people cope with in a way that doesn't put undue burdens on society. It's not okay when society has been repeatedly asked to pick up the pieces.
I have never said that adoption as the alternative to fertility treatments. Both are difficult.
I looked into adopting from a Romanian orphan after Ceaușescu was gone.
The cost was prohibitive. It never occurred to me to ask anyone else to fund it. I still wouldn't.
And adoption agencies turn people down for all sorts of insignificant reasons.
====
Maybe the people who opt for fertility treatments should be made to undergo the same regimen as those who try to adopt. Case in point: Katie Irene Gosselin. For significant reasons.
Not me. I'll take Max Von Sydow over Jason Miller.any day!

Is Max still alive? He has to be up there in his late 80s or so. He reminds me of Len Goodman. He was a good "Jesus," though.

****************************************************************************
If there is a "rumor" out there, it certainly wasn't started with my comment and opinion on this blog:)
I have formed my opinion through observation and using my own intelligence, gut feeling, so that's how I am backing it up. To me, Josiah "seems" to be gay. That is all.
The BIGGER issue with me, and worth a discussion, is that either straight, gay, bi, WHATEVER...if he wants to be a bus driver, a circus clown a janitor etc., he will never know his TRUE SELF. 18 years old and he's "courting"? I see that as being betrothed, coerced, FORCED, even if it's subconsciously, into following a very strict path his parents have made for him.
The oldest son, Josiah's big brother, is a member of the Family Research Council and a their "celebrity" spokesperson. He is anti gay and anti gay marriage.
His parents ran some kind of Instagram contest for kissing couples. They deleted any same sex kisses.
So when I said I thought he was gay (imo) I said it because I feel some empathy for him and also disgust for his parents. Imagine going through life denying who you are? How you were born? Denying what you are?
I imagine it be the equivalent of me being forced into lesbianism when it goes totally against my straight human nature.

OH. EM. GEE

I think I lost my last post, so I'll try again:
The Busby's talking points are far too similar to J+K's to NOT be taken from the Gosselin playbook.
Kate and The Duggars are iconoclasts who have paved the way for parents of large broods of children to get freebies, fame and money.
They have ,somehow, made it OK to shirk their sacred responsibility and offer their children up to the world, instead of protecting them from it.
They have made it perfectly acceptable to beg others for money to solve the problems they themselves have created. Further, have made it de rigueur to expect a life replete with all things luxurious, large, shiny and new.
If I was a parent without scruples, I would not ask "why?"- I would ask, "why not?".

Yes Tucker. The question of him being gay didn't just come out of thin air.
A lot of people have the same opinion, could be true or not, but he seems to have registered on many a gay-dar. A lot of these anti-gay Bible thumpers are asked "what if your child was gay?" Well with this family, it could very well NOT be a hypothetical question.

And when CSI hit the airways, the forensics programs at colleges couldn't keep up to the demand. With what's on t.v. these days, I suspect a lot of people want to become zombies or superheroes. ;)
I do not watch nor follow the Duggars because it's TLC and well, they are just weird, but it would not surprise me that one of those 19 kids would be gay. I don't know anything about the son you guys are talking about, but aren't all their children pressured into marriage? I am surprised the parents don't marry them off as soon as they reach puberty.
Did not know the Busby's were going to be on The Today Show. Can People and TLC be far behind? I gotta laugh that Kate's own masterminding may bring her down as this young family speeds along using Kate's playbook. Who wants to watch a 40-year-old untalented diva and annoying kids when there is a new family with cute baby girls ripe for the picking? Remembering Kate's nasty annoyance at others having multiples in Robert's book, she must be climbing the walls figuring out how the heck she can keep TLC interested.
Just watched the Busby's on the Today Show. Hoda Kotb interviewed and didn't throw any baiting questions that lead to grifting, like "what do you need or what and how can people donate?".
Glad for that.
The husband did say he had no idea how they were going to handle all the diaper changes and feeding YET. FFS!
I'd have the sh*t hammered out before the babies are born!
So, that was the only moment I thought "ugh, here we go again".
But, the mother looks amazing- not super bloated like Kate was (and I'm not poking fun or tearing Kate down about that because that's normal and to be expected).
They are a very good looking couple and I hope they choose to be as private and normal (because it's crap that their girls won't fit into society by accident of birth) as can be, and of course, receive help from their community.
BTW, Duggars, that show about being married to a gay man is already on the air. Compliments of TLC of course.
http://www.tlc.com/tv-shows/my-husbands-not-gay/
Actually, the garbage on TLC should be enough for the Duggars to turn their backs and walk away from their show. How do they justify working with people who produce shows that are so against their belief system? Oh, right, they don't watch t.v.
I suspect a lot of people want to become zombies or superheroes. ;)

Seems like this would be one of their easier problems to solve. You ask friends, family and church goers to please volunteer to help. Asking for help with such things from your support system is acceptable, and completely different than asking for cash from strangers.
Busby Quints. Sigh. I guess it'll have to play out. The McCaugheys have shown what they're made of. They accepted help for a short while and then became independent and private. They behave like parents who love their children. Kate is pretty fucking unique in that she appears to have engineered the birth of her sextuplets only for the fame and free shit...oh, and as a never ending source of something to whine about. Hopefully she is one of a kind.
TFW may think "the world" knew about the birth of her babies, but
that was waaaay back in 2004. With the explosion of social media,
more people may have heard/read about these quintuplets in the
past week than about the Gosselin babies in their whole first year.
And surely there's a People cover in their future. Will they contact
TFW for a quote? "I had more - I win!" Or maybe they can just
print the journal excerpt expressing her relief when another mother
pregnant with multiples lost her fetuses.
I love this part: "But spies said they never saw any food actually pass Paltrow’s lips." Typical anorexic celeb.
I love too how her publicist actually responds to the criticism with some lame excuse about how that photo was from last week. You're not going to get anywhere engaging with her haters. It's not going to happen.
Goop is just too far into it over the years to be able to pull something like that off. She should know better. But as you said she is one of the most tone deaf celebs of modern times. Maybe that's because she was raised by two celebs, I don't know. Being a child of a celeb can screw you up. I find her fascinating in that there's more "hate" directed at her over, IMO, several legitimate issues, and yet she just keeps on trucking, blinders on, teeth sparkling.
Also notice the article, by a NY Post writer, refers to "food stamps" which is, again, a collequally acceptable way to refer to government assistance that can be used for food. Even for a professional journalist.
I think people are multipled out. The only thing slightly unique about the story and the reason they are making news for a few days, is Dad's sperm threw all girls, but they're not identical or anything interesting like that. By the end of the week this story will be forgotten.
I mean even their God Fundme account hasn't amassed that much money in the grand scheme of things. Even if they raise the full amount they're asking for that's barely enough to pay for the van they want.
Like anything the story gets old and after multiple sets of multiples, the story is stale. There will be a few church goers and do gooders who will always throw 50 or 100 bucks their way in the first couple months, but that will be it. There will never be another Gosselins again, it just won't happen.
TJ, Bethanny said what we've all been saying for years. Of course Kate stashed money. Jon said so. I believe him. And as far as Steve, she can't hide it. It's just a matter of time before it all blows up. She has alienated too many people. It's been the drip, drip, drip for years. When someone is constantly whispered about so negatively, it's got to be based on something.
I agree, There have been way too many large families, little people, overweight people,multiples shows, as well as physical/mental anomaly episodes on TV to hold continued/continuous (lol- I do mean both) viewer interest..

Admin, I think you are guilty of wishful thinking. There always seems to be an audience. I thought Kate Gosselin would never be back on TLC, but thar she blows. I think our group is tired of multiples, but not others; otherwise, TLC would be off the air.
The husband did say he had no idea how they were going to handle all the diaper changes and feeding YET. FFS!

Here's a thought. You line up 5 babies and you change their diapers. How do you think nurses or other hospital personnel do it day in and day out, with a lot more than 5 babies. How long could it possibly take? Unless you have a major diaper blow-out, it's not that big a deal. Competent moms could do a diaper change in less than 1 minute. So, 5 x 1 minute x 8 time/day = 40 minutes. My sister runs a daycare and she can change babies this fast, even with a code brown. These people are clueless. Feeding is going to take a lot longer. Stop whining about diapers.
Sleepless -- Max von Sydow is still very much alive and still acting at 86. He'll be in the new Star Wars film coming out. Jason Miller, sadly, died at 62, of a heart attack. (source IMDB.com)
Radar has a story quoting Bethany that outs TFW and TFM and suggests that TFW ain't a piecin' an a patchin'.
With all this Duggar talk, I have to say, I wondered about Josiah too. But I haven't put too much thought into it because, the family simply doesn't take up that much of my thoughts.
I do watch the show, when Bizarre Foods is on hiatus LOL. I know that they have a lot of kids and yes, they really don't need to put everything out there on tv. However, I have to say, I don't have a problem with the number of kids they have. Why? Because they have done it on their own without any government assistance and they were supporting themselves before the TV cameras started to film.
So, as long as they can support that many kids, fine, have as many as you believe God wants you to have. Jim Bob made enough money to support his growing family and it seems like he has passed those skills onto his children (if his oldest son and older daughters are any example).
The way I see it, they are clean living people who try to live their lives as they think God wants them to. They believe they have to answer to God. It is kind of refreshing to see this compared to all the vile, violent crap that networks offer nowadays.
My mother joined the Mormon church years ago (she has since stopped going). Through her I met many church members. Aside from one or two people who worked where I did (and they were the meanest, snarkiest people you'd ever want to meet), they were very nice people. They were always respectful to me, despite not being a member of the church. I respected them because they were very kind and giving. If someone needed help with anything, most of the congregation would rally and assist in any way the could.
I didn't believe a lot of what the church taught (#1 being not drinking coffee-oh hell no!! Not giving up coffee for anything!!!), but I respect the fact that they did try to do what they felt was right in helping others. And that is how I see the Duggars.
Oh and someone wondered what church or religious organization they belong to, I believe it's some form of the Baptist church.
Yes Tucker. The question of him being gay didn't just come out of thin air.
A lot of people have the same opinion, could be true or not, but he seems to have registered on many a gay-dar.

Oh geez. I need more coffee. I read this as "registered on many a gay bar." I thought...do you need to register as a member at a gay bar?

Typical. Men always obsess about diaper changing.
Wasn't Kate on Bethany's talk show? She was kind of hard on her about where the money went, so I am thinking Bethany did not buy Kate's answers since Kate does live a privileged lifestyle. I am sure there are plenty of rumors floating around, other than what is in the tabloids, about her relationship with Steve. Just how long does Kate think she can keep up her act on everything?

I have to agree. There will always be plenty of "low information" viewers out there.
The issues I have with the Duggars, is that they insinuate that their unions are "deeper", because they don't kiss until marriage, etc.
Those poor kids have NO privacy, and that is on purpose. Everyone shares bedrooms, no one goes unchaperoned - I guess they are not allowed to be alone to be able to come up with any independant thought.
I really feel sorry for the girls though. Very young, newly married, just learning about sex, and they probably get pregnant right away, and be in that state for the next 20 years. Both of them had virtually no alone time with their husbands before baby comes along. Just sad.

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.

This sort of thing drives me crazy. Please people - stop having (or risk having) more children than you can afford to support! My pregnancy was unplanned and a surprise. A most happy, wonderful surprise. I knew early on that I would be raising this child basically by myself. While I sometimes wish I had more than one child, the fact is I could not afford it. So I have only one child and have done my best to meet his needs and also give him extras when I could afford to do so.
I have never asked strangers for money to help support my child, and I will never contribute money to people who irresponsibly (IMO) conceived multiple babies and now are crying poor.
Blowing In The Wind said... 173
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.
****
Blowing - I think Kate has one or more nannies currently. I have no direct knowledge, but it is entirely possible that on some or most school days, the nanny would be present to help with the morning schedule, including driving them to the school bus stop. I do also believe that Kate does get up at least on some mornings and take them to the bus stop, based on a comment one of the boys made about how their mother goes back to bed after dropping them off for school.
I'm not disagreeing that 5:45 is a reasonable time for a normal parent to get up when they have 8 kids to get ready for school. I am merely saying that Kate is not normal, has always been lazy, and I find it unlikely that day in, day out, she gets up at 5:45 a.m. and calmly, in orderly fashion, helps her kids get ready for school and then drives them to the bus stop.

At least this person has some common sense:
*I've been through those fertility treatments. We really had to consider if we wanted to spend all of our money and take away from the one child we had. We luckily got pregnant before we had spent much at all. One thing that stuck in my mind was that I didn't want to be like Octomom, who had had her children around the time that we were trying. I told my doctor I was not interested in having a bunch at one time. He told me that if I got pregnant with more than one child with his regiment of treatment, than he didn't do a good job. I had one baby and we've decided to not have anymore. We have what we can afford. Your doctor did not do his job. *

About the Duggars, my problem is they DON'T raise their own children. They force their daughters to do it. Nothing wrong with contributing to the family, but that is way out of line. I would love to watch Michelle for a day. I'm sure she masterminds just like sKate.

I don't follow the show, but have read the comments about this boy maybe being gay, and if he is, I hope he is very, very strong.
******************
Where did all of this come from? Just a rumor from someone who doesn't like the Duggar family? It's very easy to say that this person or that person "may be" gay, but geez, if one is going to spread something like that, then he better have something to back it up. This isn't something that a young kid like that would let go in one ear and out the other. He could very well be bothered by it if it were totally untrue.
*****
Josiah is 18 and technically an adult. Still, I feel uncomfortable with speculation about his sexual orientation because he's so young and he didn't choose to be a public figure - his parents made that choice for him. Whatever his orientation, so be it. He's not identifying as gay. In fact, he is identifying as heterosexual and ready to marry a young lady.
His family's religion considers being gay a choice, and a terrible sin. It's similar to the Mormon religion in that aspect. It is widely known that many young gay Mormon men, raised with those beliefs, do marry, but that doesn't change their orientation. It must cause great pain to their wives and to themselves to live a lie.
I just hope at some point all of those kids will be able to lead their own lives. At this point, they have been so hobbled by their parents' beliefs that they have only a limited education, little to no job skills, and no opportunity to get a higher education or even attend a trade school. Thus, they are effectively dependent upon their father for their livelihood, which means they have to toe the line or face a pretty grim life.
I hope he and this young woman really do at least like one another and enjoy spending time together. And I wonder if JimBob can financially support his 19 kids and their spouses and offspring for the rest of their lives.
Wonder if Kate will be contributing to these quints.
Just looked at that GoFundMe page and it appears that comments have been swiffered. Only positive ones are there now.

I love reading stories about your son- you're blessed!
I sort of think that some people have a child, sometimes after much trying and medical treatments and procedures, should really think about the risk of tapping out their finances AND irrevocably altering their lives, including the life/lives of the living children they already have.
I think whatever children you're blessed with, be it 1 or 3 or whatever, should be your priority in every sense- time, emotion, money etc.
The Busby's no-longer-singleton is destined for Mady's emotional challenges.

I thought the same thing. Why can these already-blessed parents be happy with the child or children they have?
Please, I don't buy the whole, "we wanted just one more" bs.
The fact is, God saw fit to give you a child that you desperately wanted, and it wasn't enough.

Nope. Wrong bird, but still amusing and sounds like something Kate would do:
Police: Woman blames coffee-drinking parrot for car crash
State police say a woman blamed her coffee-drinking pet parrot for distracting her moments before she crashed her car into a guardrail in Pennsylvania.
Troopers from Uniontown say the 35-year-old woman was driving on a South Union Township road just before 5 p.m. Tuesday when she noticed the bird pecking at the lid of her coffee cup. The woman says she struck the guardrail when she glanced down to see what the bird was doing.
The woman told police that the bird likes to drink coffee - and they also found bird seed in a cup holder next to the coffee and a few feathers nearby.
Police say the woman broke her arm and had facial cuts because her air bag deployed.
The bird was safely removed from the vehicle.

I see Kate finally, after a year and 2 months, has a new blog post, about how she survived the trials and tribulations of having no water. Of course, as usual, it's all about HER and how SHE survived!!
You'd think by now, she would have removed the "Pre-Order my Cookbook" post that is over 2 years old, but nope, it's still there.
I have to laugh that when she tweeted that she would have a new blog post, that her fans thought she was going to have a "big announcement", but all they got was a recap of her water woes.
Welcome, to the "mediocre" world, Kate. Dealing with breakdowns of equipment and appliances doesn't make you special. It is what the majority of households deal with on a daily basis. It's called "life", and it doesn't make you any more "special" than anyone else.
Well, Kate's blog will go down as one of the greatest works of fiction ever written. What a load of camel crap!!!!
So Kate doesn't contribute a darn thing to her website in a couple years, and decides to write about their water dilemma? What's her angle with this? 'Cause, with Kate, there's ALWAYS an angle.

Another OT post. We've talked about sloppy reporting, mistakes and such in a rush to get out the story. This one is really funny, though. It's local, and the goof was deleted.
Yesterday a man shot himself in the head in a suicide attempt. Apparently he didn't do the job, had second thoughts, got into his SUV and drove by himself to get help. He came upon a cop who had been at the scene of a car fire and the medics were called. An ambulance took him to the hospital (he's in critical, but not life-threatening condition). This is what was written in the online story:
"A person was reported to be inside the SUV with a gunshot wound to the head. A dog also was in the vehicle. It wasn't clear who was driving the car."
My concern was if the dog was in any condition to drive back home. I guess the officer evaluated him and declared him good to go.

I guess she doesn't say why the kids just didn't go to their dad's to take showers. If he's still alive, I would imagine that he has running water at his place.
Does a kid really need a shower every day? It's not like they're running around on a hot summer day, rolling down hills and playing in the mulch beds. She doesn't wash the sheets for weeks at a time, but they need showers every day?

Oh thank you :) You made a good point. Once you have a child or children, I believe that any big decision should be made in conjunction with how it will affect your child(ren). Sometimes it is very hard to forego a change in career, or very hard to say no to that fun sports car you always wanted and instead choose the less expensive used and boring van, etc. But you have to consider what would be best for your entire family, including the children. I think that this family we're talking about today already had three children, right? They are then three times already blessed! Why weren't they satisfied with the three they already had?

So, Kate did not know what a well was? or that the house has well water? WHAT!
REALLY KATE! stop playing STUPID, it only makes you look & sound like an asshole. Jon was right you are an asshole! LOLOLOL
Author MKBrownlow retweeted Kate Gosselin
I don't know how she does it! I'd lose my mind and I have less than 1/2 the kids she has!
...and the blog brings Brownie, the stale "serial" lady out of the woodwork! When she tweeted Kate 70 times or more from the organics store in Morgantown, I think most figured then that her mind wasn't intact.

Well maybe I should grow a pair and go begging on GoFundMe, as it was not my fault I lost every single tooth due to the strong meds I was taking after I got so sick with gbs. Maybe each person could donate enough money for 1 dental implant(dentures do not work in my mouth!), and with a couple dozen donors, I could once again enjoy real food. I would just NEVER have the guts to do something like that, so will continue eating mostly soft carbs in my diet. What I wouldn't give to eat protein hot off the barbi-que!
((((
I think the GoFundMe stuff is beyond ridiculous. But what I really want to know is, is GBS Guillain-Barré Syndrome ? What a horrific disease! Did you ever read Bed Number Ten?

She's hoping a tabloid writes about her blog post
&&&&&&&&
Exactly. She has to keep her name out there, and with the upcoming MD special, the more publicity the better. Kate is so darn transparent.
Why didn't they just stay at the damn hotel? Why not have her "rare" babysitter take the kids home? Why did Ms Organized still have dirty dishes from Sunday on Monday evening? So many questions..

Forget whether or not the dog was driving, the SUV had a gunshot wound to the head?

lol, PJ! I was so busy laughing hysterically at the thought of the dog behind the wheel (and trying to figure out if it was a lab or a chihuahua) that I totally missed that one. That particular writer consistently messes up with sentence structure, misplaced modifiers and such, and I read her articles to see how much she has butchered the stories! That probably was the funniest one I ever read. There were several comments about it, most of which have been deleted.
I didn't read the blog entry, but it sounds like it makes Globe
Gate read like an Emmy-winning episode of "West Wing."
Did she mine any drama from the cause of the well breaking?
Or did they all decide that J looked guilty, so they just
unanimously vote that it was his fault?

AuntieAnn-did I ever tell you that there is an "Auntie Anne's"(they specialize in soft pretzels) kiosk in one of the rest stops that I stop at during my trip? I always think of you when I stop there.

Auntie Annes has THEE best pretzels !!
Good grief, did she really say the babysitter was "rare?" Did she
not remember admitting to having 20 hours of help a week? She is
a lying liar who lies, and the fans eat it up with a spoon like
lemony hummus.
Gawd, the woman writes like she's in jr. high. So she did reserve a hotel room strictly just to shower. Odd.
Seems to me that if you notice for days that your water pressure is dropping you'd call someone right away. Did she just think that her well would heal itself?
So there is no one that she could call to ask to come over to their house and shower? Jon? Her parents? Jodi? The babysitter? The kids' friends? A neighbor? Bueller? Bueller?
I'll guarantee you the first person she called for advice was Steve, "a guy friend". Just like that blog post about when her car broke down and she called "a friend".
Anyway, I think the blog post is her way to get attention since her tweeties did not seem to deluge her with concern. You know why? Because even her tweeties deal with household emergencies and think she is a wuss. Man up, Kate. Stuff happens all the time and it's way worse and always more expensive the bigger the house and the property. It is ALL HERS now. LOL. I'm just waiting for the day when she finds her septic tank can't handle all the crap, TP, and tampons because I guarantee you that her septic tank (I assume that is what she has) is not large enough for nine people.
Did you know that camels store that crap in their humps??
&&&&&&&
lol! They store fatty tissue in their humps. Don't tell Milo that. She'll be dreamin' about living as fat in Kate's camel hump
Yes ,local, that is what it is.Having it was pure hell. Yes,read that book, a great read, many, many similarities. I wrote my own book, thought I was ready to publish, then my daughter got cancer, but my angel did not make it. So what should be in this book, my illness of her story? Lots to think about.
I am not a fan of GoFundMe either!

Um, getofftwitter -- She's not "playing" stupid. She's not that good of an actor. What you see is what you get.
So rather than grabbing some fast food and springing for a couple of hotel rooms for the night, she makes the whole thing a major production. She is so cheap sometimes.
Good point why there were still dirty dishes from Sunday in the kitchen. I absolutely cannot stand to leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight. I grew up with big ol' cockroaches that came out at night. She lives out in the country so I would guess she has bugs and mice. Yuck.
Sounds like the "RARE" babysitter must live relatively close by. I would think she would have run out of chumps for that job by now.
"What a f*cking moron.
Camel humps are fat, not water jugs.
Jeebus." (Tucker's, 117)
-----
-----
Oh, good grief. Jeebus is right. She thinks that camels haul water around in those humps? You'd hear them swishing at every step. She really is as dumb as a bag of barber's hair. Kate, if you don't know, Google is your friend, and in her case it's probably the only one she has who knows how to help her.
It just makes me want to : WHAT! I don't know about the rest of you guys, but if I were looking at houses, the first few things I would be asking after the tour is: where is my water, gas & electric coming from, how much is the water bill, the gas bill the electric bill are. Is it well water, what are the maintence for well water? After buying the house, and it was well water i would have it tested, look at and find out how much water is in there how deep is the well etc. But, I forgot THAT WAS JON'S JOB! I would be asking all those questions. Kate was too in lala land or the excuse I have 8 kids. Yeah, so, there are no excuse for being stupid.
Oh my word! I started to read Kate's blog..got through two paragraphs and just couldn't read the rest of it...mostly because I just couldn't work up the interest....
So ya'll are saying that Kate didn't know she had WELL WATER?
what the hell, did she think it was free? and has she had her water tested, to see what's in it?
oh my sakes.
Writing the blog was probably the "work" she was referring to when she posted the photo of her hooves in slippers. I did read the blog & found that not only does she have no clue about how to tell a compelling story (read: terrible writer) but unfortunately it was just more of whining about the problems of a 1 percenter (read: Kate Gosselin). To all who did not read the blog post (read: the smart ones), adding the parenthesis with a clarification point is Kate's new favorite, overused, annoying thing to include when writing her story.
Kate claims she didn't know she has well water? I'm almost sure it was discussed in that episode where the guy came over to check the water. It was the one where Kate was making a manual, and she gave the guy hell for daring to put his tool box on the counter. Does anyone else remember that? Is there some way to check?
Drama Queen! Always has to make things so difficult. She had to write that inane post, because she was probably upset that cameras weren't there to capture all her "masterminding".
Now, if Kate actually had close friends and family, it wouldn't be such a big deal. Hey Milo - try and tell everyone again how many friends your Queen has that were willing to help her, and how everyone in her community loves her!
What an f'ing DOLT!
I read her blog entry.
What an idiot. LOL
dang, she sure makes life hard...poor (sniff) Kate....has 8 kids and no water in her 5000 sq ft house....(sniff).
1. has the money to call a plumber
2. has the money to fill up one of her 3 cars for her extra driving
3. has the money to pay her rare babysitter.
4. has the money to reserve a hotel room.
5. has the money to send her kids to private school.
6. has the money to pay for repairs.
SNIFF. oh, I don't know how she manages. Life is so hard for her. (sniff).
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP you ungrateful wench.
LOL Rainbirdie!
I remember Mr Water Man. He was showing her how to change a filter or add softener tablets indoors. I don't think they discussed the well, just water usage etc. I could have forgotten though. Kate was so smug in making that manual, like now she wouldn't need Mr Men to help her run her piece of the world anymore (aka Jon) Maybe she meant she didn't know how wells work, not that she didn't know she had one!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSnJFTX28KQ...a bit of the scene, from 3:28 or so on
Too bad she didn't think to use her blog to publicize the two
charities she supported with her yard sale and her CA appearance. Someone who is truly "addicted to giving" would've thought of that.
But when she's craving attention, she's happy to supply every
grisly detail of her li'l crisis to her "friends," who predictably
offer praise and sympathy.
As of a few hours ago, the Busbys had been gifted with over $16,000 on gofundme. Somebody is taking the bait.
I think HOM births will always bring on an initial outpouring of diapers, formula, volunteers. I am confident many moms of newborns appreciate that immediate response. Not all want it, of course, but many do. But very soon they want to start taking care of the child(ren) themselves, figure out how to manage schedules and finances and just be a family.
I would imagine having to rely on anybody but yourself and the other parent would wear pretty thin. I think in the end we want to create a family environment that puts responsibility where it belongs.
There is a place for the public to get involved. Public health services supported by tax dollars, EBT cards for groceries, supported by tax dollars, are all availaible for those in need. The public will soon enough be financing educational opportunities for the Busbys. .
I think the public will do its fair share to help the Busbys. The gofundme
requests seem out of line to me, frankly.
forgot one:
*she had the money to nearly clear out the store of water.
how much of her narrative is fiction? 8%? 88%?
lol
I could not find anywhere that Kate said she didn't know she had a well. She said she didn't know she had a well pump. I doubt she ever thought about how the water gets from the well to the house. She's a star, she has more important things to think about:
"To give you a little history……only 14 months ago we spent a few days (over Christmas and New Years) without running water. At that time, I had to replace our well pump— this thing that I had no prior idea that even existed — but learned it’s the thing that pumps your water up from your well and into your home."
If she mentions it elsewhere in that gawd-awful tome I missed it.
Oh, and she didn't know what a well pump was? She doesn't pay a water bill..did she think water magically appears at her tap?

I really don't want to go to Kate's blog, so could someone please tell me when she claims to have found out she had well water. Just now is not compatible with her tweet that she had the pump replaced 14 months ago. So is that when she found out? Earlier? She doesn't say?
"Many large serving dishes"?? That's new....I thought she doled out the small portions.
bm
What got me about that idiotic blog was she packed individual meals plus napkins and cutlery in microwavable containers, one for each kid, for them to take to the hotel for dinner and packed them individual toiletries in bags, too.
The reason I think she might be telling the truth is, she always, ALWAYS makes more work for herself than is necessary.
Why didn't she have kids do homework and eat at home (pizza and paper plates so she wouldn't be adding to the dirty dishes she never cleaned up from the Easter dinner the day before) then go shower at the hotel?

Sometimes I wonder how someone can go from panicking about how to pay for 8 kids when they were infants to being rich and not seem to appreciate how lucky she is. But I was thinking...I bet that she never did have to struggle financially. First, Jon's dad helped support them and supposedly bought them a house. Then they were dual income with two kids. THEN when the tups came along, yes she was grifting but people came through big time, and then TLC came around. What must it be like to live such a charmed life?

She said until 14 months ago when the well pump went, she didn't know there was any such thing as a well pump
Why couldn't they just pack one bag of everyone's clothes- share a tube of toothpaste, for example, eat at the hotel, shower and sleep there? (unless it was too far from the bus stop) Hotels usually have those complementary toiletries anyhow.Why eat leftovers at a hotel?

Throwback Thursday:
Bethany's interview with the Shrew.
I almost passed out! TFW said: I JUST DEFINITELY WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT I DID NOT HINDER, OR STAND IN THE WAY OF THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, SO I DO EVERYTHING I CAN. FOSTER!
BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT, AND THAT IS....YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO REMOVE JUDGMENT....AND...AND...UGLINESS FROM THAT. THE BEST THINGS FOR MY KIDS I GIVE THEM THAT OPPORTUNITY AND THAT ABILITY TO CONTINUE THAT RELATIONSHIP.
WHEN THEY ARE OLDER, IF THEY DON'T WANT TO DO IT ANY LONGER, OR ANY DECISION THEY MAKE, THAT'S THEIR BUSINESS!!!! BUT FOR NOW, MY JOB IS TO...FOSTER, (Bethany gave her the correct word) THAT BOND!!!
This is one of the biggest lies that has EVER came out of her mouth! Jon is not even allowed to drive up to the house, not given the gate code, spied on when he talks to his kids. Jon said that he doesn't even know who exactly will be walking down to the gate when he goes and picks them up. Oh, and what about Collin?
The mad look TFW gave Bethany was pretty bad in the beginning.

Yesterday it was $14,000 and it's been up for 4 months. Their exposure today only netted them another 2 grand. It's a far cry from the $30,000 they're grifting, ah, asking for.
The Busby quint mom does not look nearly as big as Kate did, in the photo of her at 28 weeks pregnant with 5 babies.

TFW also overuses quotation marks. She randomly puts words in quotes where none are needed. It's very annoying to read her writing with all the random quotation marks, words being capitalized randomly, etc. Her writing is a mess!

&&&&&&&&&&
Please. A 5,000 foot house is what I have. For Kate, that would be mediocre. Her abode is 6,200 square feet, give or take a few depending on whether you count Flintstone toes as part of the feet.
So I am guessing the well pump was under warranty since it broke so soon?
I realized that I needed an outfit and toiletries too… yes, I almost forgot myself!

Liar.

Because she is totally incapable of any logical thinking, and that's what is truly frightening. Yes, you get pizza, use paper plates, and if you don't want to drag eight kids to a hotel, you hand them baby wipes and clean that way. It's not like it's for a week or more. Get a grip, woman.It was short term. You make do with what you have. Then again, she's the woman who didn't want to stay overnight outside at the Palin camping site because it was too damp, the food wasn't Nobu or Kobe beef and she couldn't wait to get to that lodge. She's spoiled, entitled and just plain stupid.

AuntieAnn-did I ever tell you that there is an "Auntie Anne's"(they specialize in soft pretzels) kiosk in one of the rest stops that I stop at during my trip? I always think of you when I stop there.

Welcome "home" KIAT. I hope you had a nice vacay.
I didn't know about Auntie Anne's pretzels until someone here mentioned them a few years ago. No relation to me (lol) but I hope the business is a success. Maybe I'll set up a glitter & glue kiosk next to it.
I went back to see the twitter announcement. She really has the art of sheeple teasing down to a science, doesn't she? She claims there is an update coming, knowing that they will whip themselves into a frenzy of excitement, thinking it's a new show. And then she drops the real news, and they have to pretend they're not disappointed. It's almost cruel. There was no update--they already knew about the water situation. She was just toying with them. I wonder if she's disappointed at how few of them even responded to her big tease. Maybe some of them are sick of playing her games. They are finally catching on.
She said she didn't know what a well pump was? She's been there for more than six years. Did she think that the kids were sucking big straws to get the water from the well into the house? I think that she knew that she had a well because otherwise she would have a city water bill, but I bet she had no idea how the water got from the well to the house.
If I were that dumb, I certainly wouldn't put it out there on a blog. Jiminy Christmas, Amos.
Why pack toothbrushes and toothpaste? They could have brushed their teeth when they got home using bottle water to rinse. She bought 50,000 gallons of water and lugged it all home all by her little self, yet she takes the time to pack toothbrushes. She also said she was filling toilet tanks with water, so the toilets worked. She's a moron.
Of course it could all be made up to get her followers to tell her how hard she works and that she needs a vacation since she hasn't had one in 3 weeks.

Auntie Anne's soft pretzels, based right here in Lancaster, started by Anne Beiler in a farmer's market in Downingtown (PA). They turned a small market stand into a multi-million dollar business. I remember when it all began and they had only one place that sold the pretzels.
She also said she was filling toilet tanks with water, so the toilets worked. She's a moron
)))
Wait, what? I missed that. I must have read bowl, not tank, because, well that's what you fill hahahahahahahah
Gads, that blog story is such bunch of hooey. The only thing it has in common with a camel is the droppings it leaves behind. She acts as if going to a hotel was a new experience.
It would have had an entirely different spin had it happened while the TLC cameras were there.
She'd have two or three suites reserved for a week in the nicest place in Reading while the well was being repaired, all paid in full. The kids would have been shuttled back and forth to school and Kate could sit in the hotel spa all day.
Stupid pump's timing was off.

Nothing, I've got nothing ladies and gents
Did anyone else notice in the blog that she didn't mention ZORRO at all? Was she concerned about him, did she take him with them to the hotel, etc? Hmmmm... And I agree with everyone else. That blog was awful, don't know why I read any of it at all. Lost 5 precious minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

Number one, Kate wrote a blog??? Lol you would think she would have learned by now she sucks at blogging.
Number two, for a "rare" babysitter she sure was available in a pinch. Wow, what luck.
Number three, talk about the problems of the 1%. She and Goopy are battling it out this week for the most tone deaf.
Number four, that bugsy family or whatever wants a bigger house. I have a better idea for them. BUNK BEDS.
