Duggar Family Statement: "We are so thankful for the outpouring of love, care and prayers for our family during this most difficult situation with Josh. As parents we are so deeply grieved by our son’s decisions and actions. His wrong choices have deeply hurt his precious wife and children and have negatively affected so many others. He has also brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear. Yesterday Josh checked himself into a long-term treatment center. For him it will be a long journey toward wholeness and recovery. We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change. In the meantime, we will be offering our love, care and devoted support to Anna and our grandchildren as she also receives counsel and help for her own heart and future. During this time we continue to look to God—He is our rock and comfort. We ask for your continued prayers for our entire family."http://www.etonline.com/news/170697_josh_duggar_checks_into_treatment_center_after_ashely_madison_scandal/

I'm watching Valerie Bertinelli's cooking show again today,
and noticed that she has super-short nails. So does Tiffani
Thiessen on her cooking show. These women are the real

Congrats on the new furry family member! I know she will have a great life with you. I was talking today with a woman who orchestrates dog adoptions from the Southern states. ( where our little one is from as well) I hope you share stories of your new one with the Veranda as they unfold.

Congrats on the newest member of your family!!
People Mag in it's neverending quest to cover every single thing in the lives of the Duggars, has a brief article on Jessa's appearance at the Southern Women's Show today.
http://www.people.com/article/jessa-duggar-seewald-josh-scandal
"While Jessa (Duggar) Seewald's family is still reeling from two shocking scandals in three months, the reality star is turning to her faith to get through the family's difficult time.
"You just have to keep your focus and trust God," Jessa, 22, told PEOPLE on Saturday at the Southern Women's Show in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she was promoting her book Growing Up Duggar: It's all About Relationships.
Despite the fury of press surrounding her family since Josh admitted to past "wrongdoing" – which allegedly included molesting five underage girls – Jessa and her husband Ben Seewald say the key to dealing with media is simple.
"You have to stay true to yourself and your foundation," said Ben, 20, during a Q&A session.
While TLC may have pulled the plug on the Duggars' hit show 19 Kids and Counting, the couple have not completely ruled out returning to reality TV.
"We live a peaceful, quiet life, but I wouldn't rule it out if people were interested in our family," said Ben when asked if they would raise their family on TV.
However, the couple does not have a TV of their own. "Ben has a lot of books, but we don't have a TV, he reads the news on the laptop," Jessa said."
Jessa better check and make sure that the news is the only thing that Ben is looking at on his laptop.
(Leslie)
This was on People website talking about Jessa and Ben's appearance at the Charlotte Southern Women's Conference.
"We live a peaceful, quiet life, but I wouldn't rule it out if people were interested in our family," said Ben when asked if they would raise their family on TV.
And of course they were signing autographs on the huge stack of photos of her face for her fans.
====
Yep, so many have called it. She is addicted to the fame and money. I wonder if UP or other channels have been in talks with Jill and Jessa about filming their families. Without filming with some other members I cannot even see how Jessa, Ben, and their infant could fill even a half hour show. And that goes even if Jill, and her husband and baby were included.
http://www.people.com/article/jessa-duggar-seewald-josh-scandal
What does everybody think of Jessa's shirt she wore to the conference. I do not think it is modest in the least. It is grabbing and outlining her breasts and clearly shows her belly button. She was raised to dress very modestly and to dress to bring attention to only her face. Wow, she missed the mark on that one. I wonder what Ma and Pa think of it.
This quote is rich: In regards to answering questioning about Josh's scandals, Jessa and her husband Ben Seewald say the key to dealing with media is simple. You have to stay true to yourself and your foundation," said Ben, 20, during a Q&A session. Really, then why did the family hired a PR firm to coach them through the molestation interview.
I did a quick check on people that Milo follows and that follow her and none of them have a new common account that they all follow so I don't think Milo has assumed a new identity. maybe she's PMing her usual group because none of them have inquired about her.
+++++++++++++++
This one, from a really, really slow sheeple who also asked if the twins don't wear uniforms:
I Love Cats @Pancake035
@BarbGilmer Where do you think Milo went?
Does anybody know if she is friends with somebody on twitter that would eventually find out what happened to her if she doesn't tweet anymore? Has she ever gone a full month without tweeting Kate before? I know several here sort of keep tabs on her twitter habits.
+++++++++++++++
According to some non-fans, she's still around and favoriting tweets or whatever. I don't have Twitter so I don't know how that works.

Aw. I'm happy for you Tucker's. May she and your family share many, many joyful years together!
From People:
Despite the fury of press surrounding her family since Josh admitted to past "wrongdoing" – which ALLEGEDLY included molesting five underage girls – Jessa and her husband Ben Seewald say the key to dealing with media is simple.
---------------------------
Allegedly? Has anyone disputed the police report? And "wrongdoing" in quotes: has anyone said that molesting minors is good?
================================
And they quote from a supporter:
"We are all just peoople. We are human and we make mistakes."
"My heart breaks for his family, they are paying the price for one person's mistakes. I feel they are all being criticized and persecuted for what one of their kids did."
----------------------------------
So sexually touching a 5-year-old is a "mistake" but canceling a TV show is persecution? What planet do these people live on?
What does everybody think of Jessa's shirt she wore to the conference.
-------------------
Leslie, I don't think the picture was taken at the conference; the caption says New York City.
I don't much like the shirt, but styles of maternity wear have really changed since the days of wearing virtual tents. It's what all the pregnant ladies are wearing these days, even the ones on TV. But perhaps not the super-modest Christian ones.
Tucker's, good news about your new pup. I hope you will all be happy together. I'm sure you'll have some interesting experiences to share with us. My son has a yellow lab, male, 95 pounds. Love that dog.
And just think...that could be you. Jellus?

For the love of all that is holy, can someone tell me why any adult would listen to the words of wisdom from a girl who has reached the ripe old age of 22 and her uneducated 20 year old husband? A 22 year old who is so wet behind the ears as to be deluded into thinking that being molested is a mistake? What is this world coming to when anyone over the age of 14 wants to listen to these people. Heck, 14 year-olds are more worldly and mature than these buffoons. I've had it with these nutcases.
(Leslie)
Thanks, Over for checking on Milo. Twitter say, "Favorites, represented by a small star icon in a Tweet, are most commonly used when users like a Tweet. Favoriting a Tweet can let the original poster know that you liked their Tweet, or you can save the Tweet for later." But I check her twitterfeed and no new tweets at alll--not just to Kate-- since July 31st. Well, I am glad she is still around. I wonder if she is purposefully not tweeting to see if she can get Kate's attention that way. However like somebody already mentioned, maybe she is DM Kate.
Mrs Seewald certainly does love the camera focused on her.

Congrats Tucker's Mom! I hope you have many, many years of joy with your new fur baby.
Tuckers mom, congrats on new pup!
Re the duggar article in People August 31 edition, it came in mail last week. Page 44. The Duggar Family, 3 Months After Scandal, Picking Up the Pieces. (It was published and mailed out right before the AM news was publicized) . Old photo inside, cause no one is pregnant, of ma and pa, jessa and husband, and Jill and husband.
Talks about Jill and Jessa went to Tennessee to attend wedding of Michaela Bates. Oldest did Jana was a bridesmaid.
Quote: "since mid may when oldest son Josh apologized for his "wrongdoing" - a 2006 police report revealed that he molested five underage girls as a teen, and Jill and Jessa subsequently stepped forward as two of the victims -the Tonitown, ark based family have watched in disbelief as their hit TLC show was cancelled and their lives turned upside down. "The better part of the last decade had been doing their show, and to have that removed - and instead for there to be this intense scrutiny of their every move - just isn't something you get used to overnight" says a source that had worked closely with them. Next three pages are old photos and couple of paragraphs on each couple.
Jill and Derick: moved to El Salvador in July with baby, doing great.
Josh and Anna: baby born July, "Jim Bob and Michelle love their son... But every time they are photographed with him, a story gets made out of it that rehashes the whole mess, and it's painful for everyone. Maintaining some distance it's add much for his own good as it is for theirs." Says family insider. More this it's pre AM news.
Jessa and Ben: first baby due Nov 1. This is where bittersweet mentioned, that she is not getting a TLC special like her sister. Insider says jessa "has to restrain herself from posting lengthy defenses of Josh. She understands if she goes on the offense it will just keep the story going." This is the story that Jessa said was not true on her social media.
Michelle and Jim Bob: family insider says " none of the Duggars think Josh is to blame. They had forgiven and moved on, and to them now the tragedy is the fact a part of their past was allowed to be exposed like this. Even once exposed, they truly felt people would understand eventually and be ok with it."
Josiah and Marjorie: ended courtship, they weren't suited.
Rebel Duggar cousin Amy age 28 speaks out , getting married Sept 6, photo is from her "sexy engagement shoot" she has short shorts on and low cut blouse and is missing her fiance.
The Duggars: What's Next. Paragraph mentions the August 30 special on TLC.
That's the detailed summary. Overall neutral / slightly negative tone compared to prior stories.
The Duggars have been so isolated in their insular community, so convinced that they are better than everyone, the fall from TLC stardom is difficult for them to comprehend. Makes you almost feel sorry for them. Almost.
Congrats KIAT on your new family member...and
Jessa better check and make sure that the news is the only thing that Ben is looking at on his laptop.
and.....
KUDOS!!!
Jessa did, looking at the pix, get her a Tall Strapping Man,
exact opposite of daddy Duggar with the helmet head...walking advertisement for Aqua net , lol
(Leslie)
Thanks so much Joy! I figured it would not say anything we did not already know or assume. Jill and Jessa were on the cover. So I thought they were going to be talking about how they have moved on. The article stated nothing other than what sources say about this or that. I wonder if Jill and Jessa were even interviewed at all for this article. None of the Duggars will EVER speak ill of Josh.
Did the article really say Jessa understands if she goes on the offense it will just keep the story going. Did the source mean defense? And I wonder if the source meant none of the Duggars think Josh is to blame for losing their TV show. Of course,they blame In Touch for writing the articles not Josh for molesting four sisters and a friend of the family.
Josh and Anna are going to be on the cover next time. Gee, we already know Josh, Anna, and the entire Duggar family will not dare be giving any interviews. They NEVER (under any circumstances) speak ill of each other. So it will be more sources quoted about info that we can safely assume ourselves or info that we already know. I think the only family sources that may be talking will be Anna's brother Daniel and maybe her sisters. And we already know how Daniel feels and he already said how Anna's parents feel. Again, why even bother having these people on their covers and writing feature articles about them. I really, really don't get it.

This rehab center better be prepared for a thorough examination by the press. Protecting predators?
Hi Leslie, yes the phrasing was odd. That the sister knew if she went on the offense in defense of Josh it would keep things going. That's what happens when you have a writer trying to make something out of paraphrased reports from unnamed family insider.
also, the article in People had a picture of cousin Amy KISSING her fiance, not missing.
PJ...27
my internet security will not let me open link, can you please c/p?
Here ya go, franky.
"A leader at the Christian rehabilitation center Josh Duggar supposedly checked into is helping another accused sexual predator avoid prosecution by keeping him abroad, Patheos reports.
Duggar has purportedly sought treatment at Reformers Unanimous — a facility run by North Love Baptist Church. The pastor of North Love Baptist, Paul Kingsbury, helped a man accused of sexual assault remain on a religious mission overseas to avoid prosecution in the United States, according to Patheos.
Richard DeVall, a missionary currently serving in Bolivia with Baptist Pioneer Mission Agency, was accused of committing sexual assault in the 1990s on the campus of Bob Jones University (BJU), according to Patheos. DeVall was expelled as a result of the allegations, but then readmitted.
The victim went to authorities in 2012 with the accusations. Shortly thereafter, DeVall contacted her asking for her forgiveness.
The victim contacted Baptist Pioneer Mission Agency, asking that DeVall be removed from fieldwork because of the risk he posed to others. When she requested DeVall be returned to the United States to face criminal charges, she was told the missionary agency would protect him. DeVall then refused to return to the U.S., insisting the matter would be handled “in the Biblical way.”
Kingsbury’s church is DeVall’s “sending” or sponsoring church, according to Patheos.
Patheos cites two unnamed sources that say Kingsbury was made aware of sexual assault allegations against DeVall, but that he continues to support his mission regardless, adding:
If it is true that North Love is continuing to sponsor DeVall even with Kingsbury’s knowledge of the allegations against him, and that they have sent him into the field and are keeping him there out of fear that he will face criminal charges if he returns to the U.S., these are serious charges indeed.
This would be in keeping with related events. When Josh Duggar was accused of molesting his sisters, he was sent for Christian mentoring and labor at a program run by Christian minister Bill Gothard of Institute in Basic Life Principles. Gothard resigned last year amid allegations he sexually harassed women, People Magazine reports.
Josh Duggar entered treatment after a series of sexual misconduct allegations came to light following the revelation the anti-gay activist and former reality television star had sexually molested five girls, including his sisters. After he was outed for having two paid accounts with the adultery website Ashley Madison, Duggar admitted in a statement to being a hypocrite and having a porn addiction."
I understand that Jessa speaks her mind very plainly when she feels led to. It is probably a VERY good idea that she not go on the offensive very often. The Duggars have enough holes they're trying to climb out of.
Has anyone read Kate's recent tweets about Shoka? She's really laying it on thick and acting like Shoka is now her "best buddy".

@katiaamariano I know. Comforts me to not be alone in my room...love to hear him snore and sigh in his sleep❤️❤️❤️
So now she's the "Shoka Whisperer" and he is such a "comfort" to her that she's no longer alone in her room. How did she ever survive without her "comforter" when she was away 10 days on vacation?
She used to tweet how one or more of the girls would have sleepovers in her room, now it's Shoka. Guess the girls decided they don't want to sleep with Mommy any more.
In the last 2 months, she has tweeted 6, count 'em, 6 pictures of Shoka(not including the back to school pic) and only one of Zorro. Shoka was in her room for 5 of the pictures.
Maybe Zorro doesn't know how to help her any more and has fallen out of favor.
BTW, not one site picked up her back to school picture.

Congrats KIAT on your new family member
--------------------------------------------
franky--I'm not the one who got a new dog. That was Tucker's Mom. I was just congratulating her on the new addition to her family.
BTW, since Kate has been tweeting about Shoka, I'm convinced Milo is DMing her and staying behind the scenes. We all know that Milo couldn't resist making comments about "Shokie".
She won't make her account private, because that would just be giving in to the "haters", and I just read somewhere that twitter stopped limiting DM's to 140 characters, so Milo is probably giving Kate an earful.

::::::::
If Milo is in the background DMing advice to Kate, it's sure not working. I doubt she's had 50 "fan" tweets in the last couple of days. If they are DMing back and forth, Milo must be elated to have Kate all to herself at long last.
KIAT (#32), interesting that no one picked up that back to school
pic. And no one has mentioned if the new episodes are on TLC's
schedule yet, so we may be treated to more back-to-school
shopping around Christmas.
Too bad the G children have no Latino heritage. If they did, TFW
would surely try to squeeze a TLC-funded joint quinceanera
for the twins' 15th birthday in October. By the time they're
16, TFW will probably have receded further from the public consciousness, so there may not be a big shebang in the
girls' future. Just FlimsyFlamsy's Big Shebang Theory...
So now she's the "Shoka Whisperer" and he is such a "comfort" to her that she's no longer alone in her room. How did she ever survive without her "comforter" when she was away 10 days on vacation?
====================
She had a flying monkey. I wonder if he snored.
If they are DMing back and forth, Milo must be elated to have Kate all to herself at long last.
================
Milo might be DMing Kate, but I highly doubt Kate is replying to her. Kate ignored her when she was publicly tweeting, so I doubt Kate is DMing her back and forth. Kate's probably still ignoring her, but Milo at least can feel she's communicating with her without everyone seeing what she's saying.
"The 22-year-old stopped by the Southern Women's Show in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Saturday for a meet and greet with fans and to promote her book Growing Up Duggar: It's All About Relationships."

I didn't even think about Cara having her own money for a salon. I was just thinking about poor Kate piecing and patching.
-----
I commented way up yonder that even if Kate paid for the hair salon, I would consider that Cara's money. Cara has a job. All the kids have a job. Even though Kate gets top billing, if it wasn't for the 8, there would be no show. I doubt TLC cuts 9 separate checks per episode. So when Kate spends money, I consider that she's spending part of the kids' earned wages too.
I think Milo's gone for whatever reason, monumental pout, bad health. One of the things Milo liked best was giving the impression that she KNEW Kate better than anyone else, and Kate KNEW her (her "you know me, Kate tweets) especially when a new fan would show up. And she loved tweeting (and butting in) with Kate's friends which made her feel like she was one of the gang. I have a difficult time thinking she's satisfied to stay off twitter publicly and be happy just sending her DMs that no one sees and Kate probably is ignoring.
What on earth would 20 yr. old Jessa know about "relationships". I don't watch the show but it appears she was brought up in a 'protective' cocoon; sheltered from interaction with her brothers, schoolmates, and anyone else outside the family. Hardly conducive to establishing relationships.
bm
All the sites reporting on Jessa's appearance yesterday state that she was also promoting HER book. Did they not realize that the book was written by Jessa AND her 3 sisters, Jana, Jinger and Jill, or is that how Jessa is promoting it?(Shades of Kate)
Their book came out over a year ago in March 2014, and she's still promoting it? I wonder if you had to buy a book to get an autograph. Any way they can get money, right?
BTW, if you really want to barf, Amazon has some excerpts from the book.
http://www.amazon.com/Growing-Up-Duggar-About-Relationships-ebook/dp/B00BSB2BG6
Interesting excerpt written by Jessa:
"For many years, I (Jessa) couldn’t care less about what I wore and how I looked. I was the typical happy little Duggar kid, filling my day with homeschool work and playing with my siblings and friends.
But life changed for me when I was about twelve or thirteen. Whenever I was around friends outside our family, I became very quiet and self-conscious—really insecure about the way I looked, dressed, and acted.
Wonder if that insecurity at "twelve or thirteen" had more to do with being molested by her brother when she was nine or ten, rather than anything else.
I think Milo's gone for whatever reason, monumental pout, bad health. One of the things Milo liked best was giving the impression that she KNEW Kate better than anyone else, and Kate KNEW her (her "you know me, Kate tweets) especially when a new fan would show up. And she loved tweeting (and butting in)
===================
Yes, exactly. That is (was?) her life. Tweeting about Kate putting her on time out, giving her the old eye rolls and stink eye, and just generally kissing Kate's rear end. She thrived on it, especially those butt-insky tweets with the "Kate's really busy right now, but I'll make sure she knows" and then those new fans thanking her and believing that Milo is related to Kate or is her very close and dearest friend. Just DMing her does absolutely nothing for Milo's ego. Kate ignores her on Twitter, so I imagine it would be the same on a DM or in e-mails.
Something's up. I thought she was playing the martyr thing and would wait a while after Kate returned from vacation and the attention was away from Kate so she could make her grand entrance, resuming her role of the Chief Executive Ewe. How long was she away at the wellness center? I don't think it was more than two weeks or so. She'll be back amid fanfare and flourish, trumpets a-blaring!
I find the Duggars impossibly arrogant. They've learned nothing from this fall from grace. Not a thing.
What on earth would 20 yr. old Jessa know about "relationships". I don't watch the show but it appears she was brought up in a 'protective' cocoon; sheltered from interaction with her brothers, schoolmates, and anyone else outside the family. Hardly conducive to establishing relationships.
==================
Is it about relationships within her own family, or relationships with her peers and others in the community? If it's the former, then I would think she knows quite a bit about her peers and getting along in a close family circle.

She didn't get along with her siblings. She raised them. Babies were passed off to the older girls as soon as Ma was breeding again. That's one of the reasons why it's so difficult for these girls to leave their cult. They'll be shunned if they leave and never be able to see the children, who must feel like "their" children, again. I don't believe that's an accident, either. I believe it's a deliberate way of keeping these girls from leaving.
OT, Scott Walker is talking about building a wall between the U.S. and Canada.
That will be great! We can put up hooks and display our hanging baskets and other garden art.
In the winter, we can hide behind the wall and pelt unsuspecting Americans with snowballs.

Kiat gave a link to the book. The chapter contents are: Relationship with Yourself, Parents, Siblings (becoming best friends), Friends (show me your friends & I'll show you your future), Guys (saving yourself for the one God has for you), Culture (making choices that will keep you pure), Country (making a difference in the political arena), The World (developing a servant's heart).
Yes, relationship advice for all aspects of life from the Duggar girls who have very little life experience outside of their religious group.
Oops, forgot the link.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What schoolmates? Jessa's siblings are her schoolmates.
The Duggar Dining Room Table School is about as bad as it gets. Jana graduated when she was 16 years old. That has been almost 10 years ago. She didn't even get a chance to leave and go to nursing school for her RN degree or teaching degree or even enroll in art school. She has been a single mom at a very tender early age. She and the other kids will never have schoolmates at a higher institution of learning according to the Gospel of Jim Bob.
Jana was suppose to court one of the Bates boys or another boy and she refused and was shipped off to Journey of the Heart to get a big dose of indoctrination. I am glad she stood her ground and is wanting to go to college, but Jim Bob won't let her and that is insanity at it's finest.
I wonder IF they told her if she left that she couldn't come back and that is why she is staying. Because I don't understand why she hasn't left if she is saying that she wants to go to college.

*******************
Correct. The poster said that Jessa was SHELTERED from the outside world, and this included having no schoolmates.
"The Duggar Dining Room Table School is about as bad as it gets. Jana graduated when she was 16 years old. That has been almost 10 years ago. She didn't even get a chance to leave and go to nursing school for her RN degree or teaching degree or even enroll in art school. She has been a single mom at a very tender early age."
******************
Jana had a baby and is a single mom? When did that happen? I don't watch the show and get the older girls confused. I thought Jill had a baby and Jessa is pregnant now.
I haven't watched Kate's show for ages and didn't see the remodel project episode. Kate has a first floor master bedroom. Are the boys now sleeping in the downstairs basement (finished level) one floor down, and how is this any different from her being on the first floor with the girls' bedroom up one level? What am I not getting?
Sascha @Sassccha
@TwitTartwif @Kateplusmy8 Wdn't you think if kids K8's first priority as she claims, that she'd worry about boys all alone 2 floors down?

She was talking about how the older girls were made to be the mothers of the younger ones. They actually did more mothering than the egg donor. (I'm talking about Michelle)
What the Duggars did to their older children is parentification, pure and simple
While it's fine for older children to help out with younger ones, within reason, it should not be in lieu of proper parenting from the mother and father. Children are not emotionally able to take on the responsibility of a small child to the level the parents expected of them. It was wrong.

OT, Scott Walker is talking about building a wall between the U.S. and Canada.
That will be great! We can put up hooks and display our hanging baskets and other garden art.
In the winter, we can hide behind the wall and pelt unsuspecting Americans with snowballs.

Oh, no, we'll have to have a secret panel that pops out of the wall so our resident Canadians can slide through and participate here now and again.
I am not sure if this has been posted but I read on someone's Twitter timeline that Milo has "favorited" a few tweets (last "favorite" was on August 27th). So Milo is still somewhat active on Twitter but for whatever reason is keeping a low profile.
Sorry, about that Midnight Madness. I should of said that Jana has been a teen mom that took care of her mother's babies. And there have been a lot of them.

******************
Can't we just put a blanked on the top of the wall, have our picnic suppers there, along with the rumspringa for sustenance, or would alcohol at a public place be illegal? Auntie Ann could use the top as a table for her crafts projects.

Either that or we'll take the underground railroad. If we do, I want a window seat in the bar car.

I just created a twitter account so I could see what she's been favoriting. I couldn't use my Sue Buddy account because Milo has it blocked. Since she "left" on July 27, she's favorited about 25 platitudes including one that says "I am learning to walk away from people and situations that threaten my peace of mind, self respect or my self worth."
Toss me a shovel PJ. I'll start tunneling.
This be us. http://tinyurl.com/onoyc8l
Someone has said Milo is hiding because "it" was about to be exposed. If anyone has her/his info, I don't know why they don't disclose it. Milo sure laughed when others were exposed. Why is someone being a coward now? They did plenty of disclosing non Kate fans all over the internet and it's still there.
Midnight Madness (60) - We'll hold a craft sale on it. There will be lots of room up there. You should see the stuff I've got stock-piled while the political discussions have been going on.

Canada represents the United States' largest trading partner. Americans had better have a few openings in that "wall" so that they can continue to export their goods.

Thanks, Sue. I tried to check on what she'd favorited, but don't have a twitter account and didn't think of making one just for that purpose. Way to take on for the team!

------------------------
Maybe because nobody really has anything, and the "exposed" thing was nothing more than a ruse to get him/her shaken up. I think if there were something it would have been made public by now on Twitter.

Thanks, Sue. Does this mean that she no longer is obsessed with Kate, is done with her ridiculous butt-kissing because it means her self respect is threatened by acting like nothing more than a love-sick jerk? She has nobody to blame but herself.
I can't imagine that someone whose whole life is filled with all things Kate, defending her, praising her, and perhaps even being addicted to religiously showing up on Twitter can simply walk away from it without serious withdrawal symptoms. Her Twitter alert was set for Kate's tweets. It was her life.

What an idiot. I am almost ashamed I live here.
Here's a good picture at the beginning of an article on Boston.com. (from Game of Thrones)

I'm not ashamed. He doesn't represent how I feel or how most people feel. Canada is regarded by most Americans as our brother.
Does he really want to do this? All I could find was a quote saying it's a legitimate issue. That sounds more like him being diplomatic to those interested in it, rather than a ringing endorsement. He should have just shut it down as nonsense, but he didn't exactly lead the charge either.

Hey Auntie. Can you bedazzle each of our tiaras with the name of our home state?
Milo has always been a martyr for Kate. She has always said that she doesn't care what the haters say about her, how much she is bullied because she takes all the harassment for Kate and she will always be on Twitter to support her. I wonder what has changed.
Milo has a lot of "friends" on twitter or people that at least follow her. Personally I think if she is just taking a break, which I happen to think is a really good thing for her, as a common courtesy she should let people know she's fine, just taking a break.
It's sort of like breaking up with someone by disappearing. It's rude. Common decency suggests at least one final message saying you're out is prudent.
I hope she is fine and I would appreciate knowing. She teases the non-fans and they tease her but I don't think most people wish her ill will.
Atleast I didn't vote for Walker so I know I didn't help him become my governor.
I think Canada is beautiful and wish/hope I can travel up there someday again.

It's kind of hard to tell with her, though. She may be pouting, wanting both sides to ask about her so she can lament about how much she is harassed, until her "friends" beg her to come back. I think she needs the attention and this might just be her way of saying that she had to take so much grief because she's supporting Kate that she had to disappear. This would be her way to getting even more close to Kate, reminding her exactly what she had to go through in order to defend Kate. This way, she'd hope that Kate sees exactly how much love she has for her. She had to leave Twitter because of it. I remember some of her last tweets when she threatened to leave, saying that the haters would miss her when she's gone. I think that's what she wants.
There's just something not right about that person, catfish or not.
The tweets Milo has favorited are interesting:
Her last tweet on 7/31 was a reply about Trophy Hunting.
Then she favorited:

I find that most recent one very interesting; instead of favoriting Kate's tweet with the school pic, she favorited a fan's comment on it. Hmmmm

Your welcome. It only took about 60 seconds if you ever want to make one. I think Twitter has made it a little easier to set up accounts. The old reporter instincts took over. I wanted to see for myself if what I'd heard was a fact. Can't help it. LOL I will probably use it--make it private for fam and friends since I don't have or want a FB account.
Admin @74 - I too think Gov. Walker was being diplomatic to the host of the show, but he did appear to be open to entertaining the notion of the wall.

Well, she wasn't able to go cold turkey, still reading and platituding away. I really was beginning to think she'd had a serious physical problem, and even though she loves to pick and poke as much as the next person, with her health problems it could have been bad. Glad I was wrong.

I have a bad habit of commenting before checking up and see that Sue Buddy posted about Milo. Here's a tip though, if someone has you blocked, you can just log out and type in the person's user name or put, for example, twitter.com/miloandjack in the url bar of your browser
Call Me Crazy (75) - I'll happily do that and try to get them to you before the wall goes up.

Yep, I've done that, but if you're logged out you can't see who people are following, who is following them, or the tweets they've favored. You have to be logged in.
