FYI said...

I've read in a few places that when Kim Davis was released that one of the plaintiff couples had still not obtained their license, probably because they hadn't gone back and applied yet.

"At least one of the four couples that sued Davis has not yet received a marriage license. Five of Davis' six deputy clerks - all except her son, Nathan - agreed to issue licenses to gay couples with Davis behind bars. In lifting the contempt order, Bunning asked for updates on the clerks' compliance every two weeks."

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/kentucky-clerk-kim-davis-deputy-marriage-licenses-same-sex-couples/

Judge Bunning's order of release states:

"On September 8, 2015, Plaintiffs filed a Status Report at the Court's behest. According to the report, Plaintiffs have obtained marriage licenses from the Rowan County Clerk's office. The court is thereby satisfied that the Rowan County Clerk's office is fulfilling its obligation to issue marriage licenses to all legally eligible couples."

Notice that he didn't say ALL Plaintiffs, just Plaintiffs, referring to the Plaintiffs who applied for licenses and received them.

Liberty Counsel is assuming that ALL the Plaintiffs have applied and received licenses and based their appeal on that, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

That one couple is going to make a lot of difference in how this all plays out.

Yeah, I thought 'mommy meals' were the only thing the kids enjoyed and she keeps dozens on hand in her freezers for those days when she just has too much 'work' or is away on a trip, to make a fresh meal.

Was he the pilot from Bucks County? My Uncle worked on wall street and had to walk home to Staten Island that day

We had a priest at our church whose best friend died in the towers. A year later he left the priesthood and married the friend's widow.

I suspect Blue Apron counts on their target demographic forgetting
and/or not bothering to cancel these so-called gift subscriptions, and
that's when they make bank. Something smells fishy to me, and
it ain't just the poorly-presented plate of salmon in TFW's kitchen.

localyocul said...

I'm looking at the blue apron menu..none of that appeals to me at all. I'd rather grill myself some chicken, microwave a baked potato, and have a veggie. For a family, I can't imagine that being practical. Not many kids would like that stuff

Formerly Duped said...

Re: Collin. While it's not our business to know exactly where Collin is going to school, can any local verify he is enrolled in a good day school this term, as opposed to being shipped off to boarding school or entombed in the McMansion with on-line courses or a tutor?

redbird said...

Picture of moldy bread from a customer of BA on twitter.
BA said they would make it right, right away!

Customer says they already fixed the problem, great customer service and looking forward to more meals!

Can you imagine TFW getting Moldy Bread?? Would serve her right for sending moldy sandwiches back for the kids in their lunchbags.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&

lol! We seldom eat like that here. We don't put our chicken and fish on top of lettuce, beans or veggies. Our bowls are on the table and we serve family style. We're kind of meat and potatoes people. Meat goes on one side of the plate, potatoes on the other side and the salad in a separate bowl. I guess we're really mediocre.

Ii guess if kids have grown up on such food as Blue Apron prepares, then they might like it. Some, though, would say, "What's this stuff? Can't we go to KFC?"

PA Dutch Mom said...

Maybe Kate isn't going to prepare those meals, but left instructions for her cook to put the ingredients together.

::::::

I didn't find much I liked either plus I wouldn't want to plunk down that kind of money and still have all the prep and clean up to do. Makes no sense to me. But then I don't have 8 live-in servants. I wonder if Kate only eats the salad portion and if she shovels it in standing at the kitchen counter.

PA Dutch Mom said...

I agree Lanc Native. Take out would be much easier and cost about the same as a BA meal. The prep time on their "gourmet" meals for TFW's family would take forever.

&&&&&&&&&&&&

Yes. If you're busy and don't have time to cook, you call Chili's curbside service (or order online), place your order, use your coupons, park in the designated pick-up space, take it home, sit your kids down, and there's supper. No prep time, no fuss, no need to run the dishwasher.

Whatever happened to Chipotle? I thought she took the kids there a few times a week. It was heaven-on-earth for them, with tweets of praises to the company and staff.

redbird said...

Awe, shucks!

TFW is missing out on a free 2 week trial of free grocery delivery from Publix! I checked and there is not a Publix even listed in the entire state of PA. She would probably think, Free grocery delivery? Sign me up!

Then she would get out of paying the bill just like she did with Dr. LaFair. (snark)

NJGal51 said...

Deanna is now arguing with the non-fans over Blue Apron about how she sent TFW a free trial because as a subscriber you get vouchers to do that. Wisely BA has stayed out of it even thought they've been included in the tweets. Maybe instead of wasting her time arguing Deanna should be telling TFW that if she doesn't cancel her "free" week she'll automatically be subscribed to the service. This truly is the "gift" that keeps on giving.

-------------------------------
You'd think Liberty Counsel would read the internet! Maybe Kim intends to disappear when the final couple applies for its license. That way she can "allow" it to be issued but pretend it didn't happen. Then she can go back to forbidding the deputies from doing their jobs.

I thought I saw that Liberty Counsel is also saying the governor should be forbidden from instituting a same-sex marriage mandate. I thought that was settled by the Supreme Court in June. If something is legal and equal, you don't stand in its way by making it difficult.

I really can't picture the average kid being into this either.

What's funny is they are trying to be really modern and appealing with the food and presentation, but for a lot of people that just makes them uncomfortable and wary. But that's the point, they're not catering to crowds like the Gosselins, as much as Kate likes to pretend this is right up her alley. It's really not.

We have some really good Italian restaurants here that deliver. They have daily specials, spaghetti and meatballs, ravioli, lasagna, grilled chicken, all come with garlic bread and salads, with coupons $4.99 -5.99. With the scant portions she gives those kids, one dinner would serve two kids.

I wonder if the Blue Apron is for Katie and she feeds the kids the slop she creates. If she's feeding 9 on BA, imagine the carbon footprint from all that packaging.

NJGal51 said...

I also believe that it was a set up and the non-fans took the bate. But even with Milo's reappearance it still wasn't enough to wake up TFW's tired timeline. I guess she'll have to buy some "Thanks for the tip Kate, I'm going to give @blueapron a try!" bots. Wait for it. Shouldn't TFW be posting pictures of the prep and final product soon? Once received, how long can those "fresh" ingredients possibly keep.

Kate, what's for dinner? Is it movie and popcorn night? What movie are you watching? Kate, where did you get that dress? Kate, how do your kids like school? How much homework do they have? Kate, did you have a nice Labor Day, and are the kids in the pool? Kate, can you put the applesauce in jars or must you freeze it? Kate, how much laundry do you have to do after your vacation, are you still unpacking? Kate, is Shokie still sleeping by your bed? Ad nauseam.

Geez...if she wanted them to know the details, she would tell them!

They must still be filming the construction project because if filming was over TFW would be all over Twitter teasing about the great things to com (winky face) and lamenting the fact that the twins will soon be 15 and where does the time go. Anyone besides me think that a full outdoor kitchen is in the works? Maybe they're building a cabana by the pool, basketball court, sauna or some other luxury that real piecing and patching moms can't afford.

Just because someone goes to boarding school doesn't mean they were shipped off. That might even be a great option for more than C as it would give the Gosselin kids some individual attention and get them away from Katie. Prince William and Prince Harry were only 8 when they were shipped off. They turned out ok.

You know, I kind of feel sorry for them. Almost, but not quite.

Then I read a few of their timelines, with all of the hatred they tweet to and about non-fans, while at the same time criticizing them of hating on Kate and how evil it is to hate. Such hypocrisy. Such a phony, holier-than thou attitude.

It is then I think that no, I'm not there yet (feeling sorry for their ignorance).

Lynne In RI said...

Sherry baby (49): "You know, I kind of feel sorry for them. Almost, but not quite."

))))

Some have suggested that there could be a problem with Kate's brain -- the disconnect, and that it's not wired right. There could also be a chemical imbalance. That's not to be snarky, but it's an observation. She's always putting her foot in her mouth, and doesn't think before she speaks and tweets.

I wonder if the same is true with the fans and therefore they are unable to internalize and to think logically, and thus, that's why they follow her. They are so much like her and can easily identify with her. They're all in the same boat when it comes to critical thinking and socialization skills. Birds of a feather, and all that.

P.J. said...

OT, I was listening to a Freakonomics podcast the other day and they were talking about how very smart people usually lack social skills and don't really care, but that somehow, thinking they're smarter than everyone else is ultimately their downfall.

It made me think of Donald Trump. Here he goes again.

I would think that the degree to which BA is helpful is inversely proportional to the amount of people you feed.
It's all individually packaged stuff, so it seems to me that you'd have a ton of stuff to open.
It's actually inefficient as well as expensive.

It must be the thrill of the grift, because BA isn't built to feed large families.
Kate will say how convenient it is and blah, blah blah, but it's really a joke that this "organic" scratch cook would use such a service.

Here's what is amusing. Milo goes on hiatus for more than a month. The non-fans are still jumping on Kate for whatever and Milo remains silent. But when Deanna surfaces to respond to the "haters," Milo can't help herself. She has to get right into the fracas because nobody, and I mean nobody, can defend Kate without Milo getting on board. She won't let anyone upstage her when it comes to defending Kate. Jealousy rears its ugly head and she can't let Deanna become Kate's protector, not as long as Milo is around.

It's sad, but amusing nevertheless.

It's also interesting that some of these fans tweet so much hatred on their timelines, but omit @Kate in their tweets. They're smart enough not to let Kate see how cruel they can be, not only to the haters but also to each other.

Sheeple psychology...so fascinating.

Cbs Sunday morning interviewed Justice Stephen Breyer. They asked him about Kim Davis. I didn't realize Davis had asked the Supreme Court to intervene and they declined. I'm not sure that happened. Anyway Breyer's answer was something like there will always be people who disagree with our decisions and really this is nothing. I remember when we had to send the army in to escort the students into school after Brown V Board of education.

He has a historical perspective at his age that tells him folks like Kim are but a speck in history and this will all be fine shortly.

The beginning of the article on Maddy down:

Sister Wives star Maddie Rose Brown is ready to say, "I do!"

The daughter of Kody and Janelle Brown and Caleb Brush have announced that they are engaged.

I had to read this three times before I could parse that the prospective bride doesn't have 3 parents, but 2 parents and a prospective groom.

How much better to have said
The daughter of Kody and Janelle Brown has announced her engagement to Caleb Brush.

Or
Caleb Brush and the daughter of Kody and Janelle Brown have announced their engagement.

And no, I don't blame you, redbird, unless you wrote the article.

I'm glad you posted it. I'm very happy for her, and I too wish that Jana Duggar could have a more mainstream lifestyle.

It is disgusting to see Ma and Pa Duggar acting 2 dogs in heat, like they do in front of not only the older kids but the younger ones too. It is like rubbing salt into an open wound.

That's funny but sad at the same time. There's such good scripted TV out there, how can you not find something that can hold your interest?

I find it to be the opposite. Reality Tv is so boring and repetitive and done a million times. It's tired, old, and unoriginal. Scripted TV is where it's happening right now in 2015.

There are some good shows on premium cable, but basic is pablum.
Streaming is where it's at and thank goodness we are getting to pick and choose so we can optimize our decent viewing/money ratio.

FYI said...

Kim Davis held a press conference before she went back to work this morning.

"Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis indicated Monday that she will not interfere with any deputy clerk who issues marriage licenses, but said she will not personally issue or authorize any of the forms.

"If any of them feels that they must issue an unauthorized license to avoid being thrown in jail, I understand their tough choice and I will take no action against them," Davis said in a statement outside the courthouse.

"However, any unauthorized license they issue will not have my name, my title or my authority on it," she said. "Instead, the license will state that they are issued pursuant to a federal court order."

Davis said she has "great doubts" that licenses issued under these conditions are even valid."

http://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2015/09/11/kim-davis-expected-back-work-monday/72079360/

How can the license state that it is issued pursuant to federal court order? Isn't that altering the license? Or is she going to stick post-it notes stating such to each and every license issued?

Her statement was quite long and obviously written by her lawyers. Of course, she also threw in the mandatory tears while reading it.

redbird said...

So, Paula Dean is on the list and she hasn't even danced yet?

"#7 Kate Gosselin
Though she’d deny it, Kate Gosselin probably agreed to appear on Dancing with the Stars to change public opinion of herself as a cold, harsh woman. In certain ways Kate succeeded. She didn’t come off as a Machiavellian mother/task master, she just came off as a terrible dancer. It’s not odd for to have a celebrity on Dancing with the Stars who can’t dance. Usually these subpar dancers have amusing personalities who keep them afloat, Kate didn’t. Without her children or her ex-husband, Kate was pretty boring on screen. This lack of personality and dancing skills combined with her bad reputation caused a stream of internet negativity over her presence on the show that continued until her elimination."

Let's not kid ourselves. She did it for the money and thought she was going to win. Delusional.

Funny how a lot of the people on the list gave the audience a different perspective of them. They actually state that that was sKate's objective. She even failed at that. I don't know what the author of that article was watching. She reinforced her nasty reputation.

Agree. Kate didn't necessarily try to shed her image as an ogre. In fact, being hated was really working for her and if that's what it took to keep her in the headlines, she was more than fine with that.
She did it for the money and don't forget, Kate was riding the TLC wave, with K+8 well underway, undeterred by Jon's efforts to stop filming, AND, she had Twist of Kate greenlit.
I don't know exactly what happened to the latter, but if Kate was actively promoting it while on DWTS, it was happening.
Until it wasn't, of course.
In some ways, I wish Kate could have broken away from filming the kids. Sure, she would be away a lot, but is that a bad thing compared to continuing to expose the kids to public scrutiny and the pitfalls of early fame and notoriety?

Unfortunately for TFW the kids are becoming just as boring as her. The kids don't seem to have any discernible talents and the cute toddler factor is gone. The fighting, screaming and whining gets old in kids that age.

By the way the judge offered this compromise to her ages ago. He said she could be let out of jail and doesn't even have to personally issue the licenses as long as she allowed her clerks to. She acts like this is a novel idea.

Maybe her clerks are issuing the licenses not because a federal court order says they have to under threat of jail but because they're just doing their jobs.

And nobody cares if Kim from nowhere USA thinks they're not valid. They ARE valid. What does it matter what some random person thinks about their validity?

I read the full article I misunderstood what Kim was saying. She's saying I'm willing to issue them without my name but without my name I'm not sure if they're valid.

The part about her being willing to have the office issue them if it says they were issued pursuant to a federal court order seems SO petty. I love it, she's not personally willing to issue the licenses, she wants her name removed, but then she also wants to impose conditions on what the license says?? You can't have it both ways. What a freaking tool. Step down already.

FYI said...

When the judge release Kim Davis from jail, he said that she could not directly or indirectly interfere with her clerks issuing licenses. Couldn't her refusal to authorize the licenses and issuing the disclaimer that they are pursuant to court order, actually be "indirectly" interfering?

According to a WP article, her husband said that Davis told her clerks that they could take today off as a vacation day.

"Davis has told her deputy clerks that they were welcome to take a vacation day Monday, Davis’s husband, Joe Davis, said. However, at least one deputy clerk appeared to be on hand to issue marriage licenses."

They've gaslighted about three times now. Made some grand announcement about what they're going to do, conveniently failing to mention the other side offered that alternative to them a week ago and they didn't want to do it then.

The judge literally said I'll let you out as long as you let your clerks issue the licenses. She said NO. This is documented. Now that's fine and dandy with her? Lol, what a wet noodle who just doesn't want to sit her precious self in jail another day.

There's this state senator Stivers who said Kim is in a tough spot having to choose between her religion and her job.

Well that's true. But as a Christian, there is no "right" to any job you want even if that job has duties you don't agree with. Christians and other religious choose their faith over a career path all the time. She's not special. A Christian might choose not to be a doctor or nurse who works at an abortion clinic, a sheriff's deputy who works death row, or work at a synagogue. You don't as a Christian become an abortion doctor and then say okay I'm not performing any abortions.

Thankfully with Kim's credentials and experience she has many other things she could do. She just doesn't want to walk away from an easy 80k. But that's her problem, not the public's.

Yeah, no "it" factor.
At one point, I really thought she'd get a chance at her own cooking show. Seemed like a no-brainer.
For as much as Kate claims to love being on tv, when she's completely on her own, not being fed pre-approved and scripted questions about herself, she looks like she's got terrible stage fright.
Her "cooking" demo at the Baltimore book festival was painful to watch. She wants so badly to be relaxed and natural, but her nerves get in the way.

FYI said...

Kim Davis' lawyer has said that the fact that she was divorced three times and married four, does not go against her religious beliefs because she has repented for those sins.

Yet, she is currently married and living with the second guy she married, not the first. So isn't she still committing adultery every single day, according to her religious beliefs? Does she repent every single day, and then goes on to repeat the same sin?

I'd like her to explain how that abides by her "strong" religious convictions.

MikeB said...

The issue with the Blue Apron situation is that Deanna and Kate deliberately made it public. I'm sure Kate has Deanna's phone number and vice versa. A simple text from Deanna saying "I'm sending you a coupon for two free Blue Apron meals" and a reply from Kate saying "Thanks, I'll let you know how the meals turn out" would have been more than sufficient.

Instead they have to do in on Twitter using the public forum. They are working in cahoots to try and keep Kate in the public eye as much as possible. Kate knows she is generally looked upon unfavorably for her grifting and knows any hint of begging will stir up her twitter timeline; however, she would rather stir up negative emotions and arguments rather than simply fade away.

The villain is a necessary part of entertainment and many actors have lamented that people in real life think they are bad people just because they play a villain on TV. I wonder if Kate has any self-awareness that she actually is the person people see on TV and the animosity is directed at her, not some made up character created by a screenwriter.

She verifies information so that the government has a record.

TLC stinks said...

On September 3, 2015, Russell Williams, an evangelical pastor with McCormick Road Baptist Church in Apopka, Florida, published the following message on his Facebook page describing the problem with evangelical Christianity. He uses Kim Davis as the example.

Since I am a pastor of a southern Baptist church please allow me to weigh in on the case of Kim Davis, the lady in Kentucky who refuses to issue a marriage licenses to a same sex couple.

First: This is not a case of the government forcing anyone to violate their religious belief. She is free to quit her job. If she quits her job to honor God surely God would take care of her.

Second: This is not a case of someone trying to uphold the sanctity of marriage. If she wanted to uphold the sanctity of marriage she should not have been married four different times. If she is worried about her name being affixed to a marriage license that goes against a biblical definition of marriage, she should not have her name on the last three marriage licenses given to her.

Third: This seems to be a case of someone looking to cash in on the religious right. Churches all across the south will throw money at her to come and tell congregations how the evil American government put her in jail because of her faith in Jesus.

This is why we are losing.

This is why people have such disdain for evangelicals.

Not because we disagree but because we don’t take the bible seriously. If ever there was a case of “he who is without sin cast the first stone”, this is it. If ever there was a “take the log out of your eye” moment, this is it.

We must stop looking to the government to make America a Christian utopia. Our kingdom is not of this world.

We must abandon all thoughts of fixing others and let Jesus fix us.

If we want sanctity of marriage then stop cheating, stop having affairs, stop looking at porn, stop getting divorces. That is the way for the church to stand up for the biblical definition of marriage, not by someone martyring their self-righteous self.

I'm not convinced quite yet that Davis wants to be the face of the cause.
I think she's a paper tiger being manipulated by a lot of pushy men to affect their agendas.
I think she was getting in over her head, and she has capitulated. She's accepted the compromise offered to her, as she should have done last week.
There are those who say Kim shouldn't have seen the inside of a jail cell, but I think that's exactly what was needed.

I love the contrast with Brian the deputy clerk. If you watched his interview with NBC, he answered most questions with yes or no or I don't know. The only longer answers were to how many licenses had been issued and something about the chaos. He said "It's been a little hectic, but you know we still carry on business like we normally do." I'll be very surprised is Brian tries to milk his 15 minutes of fame.

I wondered about Kim Davis's vacation day offer. Did she mean they could take a regular vacation day, or that she'd give them an extra "free" one? That might be hard to turn down.

During 2005, same-sex marriage became available across Canada except for the province of Prince Edward Island, whose government apparently could not figure out a way to marry same-sex couples. That province quickly found a way when they were threatened with a lawsuit. Since eligibility for marriage is defined by federal and not by provincial law, same-sex married couples were given the full set of provincial and federal benefits.

Good old PEI. That and Mike Duffy representing them in the Senate. I certainly don't remember jail, tears, and a media circus over this.

Maddie Brown's announcement of engagement to a man 10 years older isn't something to celebrate in my mind. She walked away from a full ride scholarship at USU. She had high ambitions of serving on the supreme court. This guy does have plgy roots. This is something to celebrate in my opinion. They both look pretty grungy if you ask me.
Maddie has never been very attractive. None of the Brown kids are except Aspyn.

As USA Today reports: "Upon returning to work in Morehead, Davis was greeted by a billboard installed by a non-profit organization that advocates for LGBTQ rights.The billboard erected by Planting Peace reads: 'Dear Kim Davis, The fact that you can't sell your daughter for three goats and a cow means we've already redefined marriage.' "

Next step for me would be figuring out how to release Davis and her son from the nepotism gravy train they're riding on.

Deana and Kate knew full well what they were doing going public about Blue Apron. The poor innocent us routine is disingenuous.

The two of them were in cahoots to grift free food from the get-go. How pathetic on so many levels.

ha! Won't you come into my parlor? said the spider to the fly.

Poor Deanna. She doesn't see it yet but every time Kate makes a friend the pattern repeats itself. The person invariably ends up on twitter defending her for one reason or another and never fails to add that her kids are like family. TFW will suck everything she can out of her. This time around it's a freebie from Blue Apron, plenty of free makeup, free hair styling and probably a lot of hours or days spent babysitting the kids while the special snowflake runs off with her bodyguard for some alone time. After she's been bled dry she gets kicked to the curb and Kate finds a new bff. And it's always a "we've been friends for years" friend, too.

I wonder when it will dawn on Deanna that she's being played.

FYI said...

A lesbian couple was issued a marriage license today at the Rowan County Clerk's office. In the place where her name would go the phrase "pursuant to Federal court order" was typed in.

Also, Brian Mason is listed as a Notary, not deputy clerk. You can see a picture of the license issued today here:

http://www.buzzfeed.com/jessicasimeone/kentucky-clerk-returns-to-work-after-being-held-in-jail-for#.yyd26vY3N

On a license that Brian issued while Kim was in jail, it listed him as Deputy Clerk. Someone tweeted pictures of the license issued today and one that was issued on Sept. 4.

The guy who tweeted the picture in the Buzzfeed article, also tweeted the following:

Rowan Co Judge/Exec Doc Blevins on license: "I think they would still probably be legitimate because they were issued by a deputy clerk."



So it seems that Kim is purposely making her clerks alter the license in order to try to make them invalid. I wonder what the judge will think of that. Isn't that "directly or indirectly interfering"?

too bad,so sad said...

I think Kim is just being the open minded person she really is. Encouraging her deputies to take today off shows her love for true religious freedom. Today is the first day of Rosh Hashanah and she is showing her respect for all Jewish Holidays and traditions. /s
NO, even I can't keep a straight face with that explanation. I doubt that she even knows it is a holiday, and somehow I doubt her deputies are Jewish. I am glad one or more showed up. Somehow I think her lawyers and backers had something up their sleeves, another showdown or maybe just making it difficult for same sex couples to get the license today since, oh how sad, there are no deputies here to issue it and I don't have to because of, you know..... Jesus. (or my warped idea of Jesus.)
Loved how the judge in an interview related her actions back to the actions of the bigots who tried to block integration.

TLC stinks said...

One of the organizers on the ground for the Oath Keepers’ short-lived Kim Davis mission was Denny Peyman, a former sheriff of Jackson County, Kentucky, and member of the “constitutional sheriffs” movement, which believes that county sheriffs are the nation’s highest law enforcement officers and therefore have the power to unilaterally arrest federal officials.

In an interview with the far-right radio program Liberty Roundtable last Wednesday, the day the Oath Keepers publicly announced their Davis mission, Peyman said that if he had been sheriff when Davis was found in contempt of court for defying court orders to issue marriage licenses, he would have blocked U.S. Marshals from arresting Davis and would have instead personally arrested the judge who found her in contempt.

“I would have loved for that to happen when I was in office,” he said. “It would have been a completely different scenario would have come out of this whole thing.”

Asked who has legal standing to challenge validity of marriage licenses, Kim Davis lawyer Harry Mihet couldn't cite anyone but couples.

How is she not interfering when she makes them change their title from "deputy" to "notary"?

Paula said...

A question I cannot seem to find out. Will there be a different marriage license for heterosexual couples or will those licenses also be signed by a "notary"? If they are different, little Kimmie could be in trouble if the licenses signed by the notary are somehow deemed not valid.

---------------------

Paula--I was wondering that, too. If a heterosexual couple comes in will their license also read "pursuant to Federal court order", or will she sign those? Guess we won't know until someone reports on it.

Also, will the licenses be valid with words "x'ed" out on them?

I hope someone notifies the judge about these alterations, and not just wait until 14 days from now when the clerks have to give the judge an update.

I also would like to know what she'll do if all of her appeals are denied. Will that finally cause her to resign?

I have a feeling this is far from over.

Doggie OT!
Our rescue yellow lab is doing great. She's been coming out of her shell and getting a bit cheeky with testing her limits, but we'll be starting formal training hopefully this week or next.
Otherwise, it's shocking how well socialized she is and what basic obedience she came to us with.

But....THE SHEDDING!

We get that labs shed- had a black lab and the hair was a constant, and sometimes she'd go into a big shed, but nothing like this.
The bad shedding started about 1-2 weeks after we brought her home.
We saw her hairs and weren't surprised, but she's losing hair like crazy right now!
Her appetite is good and we feed top shelf dog food.
We're grooming almost daily with a Furminator, and gave her a bath only once (understand that's not the answer for a dog with essential coat oils)

Anyone? Bueller?!!!

p.s. She's not 100% yellow lab and looks to have some collie in her. Her coat looks to be quintessential lab.

TLC stinks said...

I believe KY law at present clearly states that only county clerks can issue marriage licenses. It is true that in some states notaries can issue the license, but she is changing the law. I believe the license issued today is invalid. Have any attorneys in the media addressed this?

Shedding! Oh, my gosh. We have a collie and I have big balls of white cotton hair from her upper legs all over the floor. It looks like a snowstorm. This happens every fall and spring, but this year is worse than ever. Vacuuming isn't the answer. I would have to clean out that thing every few minutes. I have found that using a large bristle brush at the end of the sponge mop picks everything up, but I have to do it several times a day. The ¨cotton balls¨ just come out in clumps. What a mess, but we love her dearly!

I'm hoping her shedding frenzy is the change of season and that it goes down to a dull roar.
Our previous black lab(ish) shed heavily a couple times a year but in between it decreased notably and actually, as she got older, we saw less deluges.

That was such an odd thing to say.

As county employees their vacation is likely very specific. I doubt Kim has authority to grift a vacation day. And to encourage the vacation day in a way that sounded like a veiled threat, even if that perhaps was not her intention whatsoever, was completely inappropriate. HR needs to get involved with this woman, and she either needs to quit or do a lot of training to understand how to conduct herself in the workplace. It's not okay to make employees feel like they have to burn a vacation day they would rather save for something else.

Seems like some of Kim Davis' supporters are upset that she allowed her clerks to issue licenses, even with the alterations.

http://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2015/09/11/kim-davis-expected-back-work-monday/72079360/

"Ante Pavkovic, a pastor from North Carolina who has protested same-sex marriage outside the courthouse about two weeks, appeared conflicted over the announcement Monday. He said Davis' attorney is probably trying to protect her but failing to address the larger principles at stake. He said it's hard to know if Davis backed down or received bad legal advice."

Kim Davis backed down AND also received bad legal advice. I think her lawyers convinced her that if she altered the licenses that they would be considered invalid, and that's why she didn't interfere with the clerk's issuance of them. She thought they wouldn't have an legal standing.

The fact that she said that she would have no problem recording marriages and issuing marriage certificates once a ceremony has taken place, shows that she thought she wouldn't even have to worry about that, thinking that no one would officiate a marriage that she hadn't "authorized".

How many times did she use the word "unauthorized" in her press conference? That was her "go to" word. She also said that she never wanted to be a "hero" or to be in the "spotlight", yet she said "I want the whole world to know If any [deputy clerk] feels that they must issue an unauthorized license to avoid being thrown in jail, I understand their tough choice, and I will take no action against them,"

If you don't want to be in the "spotlight", why are you speaking to the "whole world"?

She still doesn't get it that Liberty Counsel(and several Presidential candidates) are just using her to further their own agenda.

I thought Bindi was very good and I was surprised Kate did not tweet about her appearance. My prediction is Kate is going to be working overtime behind the scenes to try to get one of her girls on next season.

LOL. A conservative writer has called Davis "the Honey Boo Boo of religious freedom".

I really can't believe that Gary Busey scored higher than the Atlanta housewife. He was a hot mess, but that's why they hire him for shows like this. Gary can always be counted on to bring the crazy! His season of CA was one of my favorites.

I was surprised at how good and personable Bindi was.

Bindi has been an entertainer practically since the womb and it shows.
She's a pro and can dance.
I'm betting Kate is coveting Terri's seat in that studio!
One day, it could me meeeeeeeeeeee!

Gary Busey isn't entertaining on any level for me. He can't dance and he's so off the wall that everyone looks extremely uncomfortable.
Maybe on a scripted, edited show he can be a draw, but he makes me want to change the channel instead of squirm.
Maybe DWTS thought they'd get the same bounce off of him that CA did, but this is just cringe-worthy.

I think that DWTS thought they'd get bounce off of Kate, too....but she didn't deliver. Just like she was a colossal fail on CA.

Remember when the scores came out for Paula and Louis, did you see how bad she was shaking and trembling, her hands? I thought she was going to have a nervous breakdown right there.

Also, to me her dress looked really tight on her, she could hardly move.

I say this with a lot of empathy for Paula- yes, she looked like she was about to shake her flase eyelashes right off.
She has a history of crippling phobias, and DWTS might be pushing her limits too much right now.
I think she gets diarrhea of the mouth when she's nervous, hence the awful crass comments and behaviors.
