McCaughey septuplets begin senior year of high school
Patriarch Kenny said the family purposely avoided reality T.V. all these years because privacy is the 'best way' to raise a family.

«Oldest ‹Older 1401 – 1600 of 1695 Newer› Newest»Hi everyone.
tfw is MIA? woohooo!
Just wondering if anyone is following the latest TLC scandal?
The Sister Wives catfishing drama? The first wife (now the divorced wife) having an online affair with a catfisher, all with intimate photos to boot (one involving a banana!) So much for living "the principle"
http://allaboutthetea.com/2015/10/07/new-sexy-private-photos-sister-wives-meri-brown-sent-to-catfish-lover/
I checked out Jon's DJ Facebook page and he is employed steadily with gigs.
I am going to take a guess here, but I bet Kate still drops off clothing at consignment shops. Not only does she and the kids get free wardrobes from TLC, but I suspect she is a clothing and shoe shopaholic.
Before you start thinking Goodwill is 'all that', check out what their CEO makes and how they treat their employees. Not that great.
The Salvation Army walks the walk. Goodwill does not.
Oh, I don't know about that. It depends on the woman. There is no one size fits all. There are women who might find a nice menage a trois a turn-on! Some have no problem with open marriages. Don't look at me, though!
*****
Me either! But I think women who are in 3-somes like the sex. My impression is that sister wives don't have 3 or more-somes and have to lie alone in their beds knowing their husband is boinking another wife!
No thanks.
don't think i'd have the guts to shop at one, is all. To each his own, of course.
******
It never even occurred to me that a local Thrift shop should only be patronized by low income people.
Buying from Thrift and Goodwill is supporting the needy.
It's another story to accept freebies, and where I live, I see it every year with people lining up for free turkeys and bags full of school supplies.
My point is, mediocres like me fit into this giving cycle at multiple points, all of which benefit the needy.
Yes, though I suspect she felt pressured and manipulated to do so. If she didn't, she's the bad guy. It's terrible to have to choose between someone else's adoption and your own marriage. It's unfair to put her in that position.
*******
Exactly, and her husband should never have put her in that position.
Many people walk away from relationships because there are deal breakers.
I just don't see what the downside is for Kody, but for Meri, there's the worst heartbreak a woman can experience.
Not to even mention her child, whose dad is divorcing his mother!
These people are fuckocked in the head.
Ha! We have Plato's Closets in the area. Not close enough to make a special trip, but maybe sometime I'll be nearby for another reason and take a look inside.
When my ds's were teenagers they loved going to the thrift stores and buying vintage clothing. The big thing was to buy uniform shirts like the ones car mechanics wear with a name on it. The kicker was get one with a name that is not your name. My youngest ds had one on from the local electric utility company with the company name and with the name Terry, (not his real name).
He had it on one day and was in town walking on the street and 2 men were walking past him and one guy started kinda laughing and pointed it out to the other guy and he said, Look! Oh, Man! He's got Terry V's shirt on! They both laughed and so did my son! My son is 6'6, 270. They had no choice! haha
Also, when my youngest ds was in middle school, he and a couple of his friends all wanted the latest Michael Jordan basketball shoes but who had that kind of money? This is what they did. A couple of them got together and went to Walmart and bought a plain pair of navy blue velcro tennis shoes that cost with tax I believe 7.57? And they wore them to school the next day and said they were part of the 757 club and the buzz started that the other kids had to have those shoes. The kids went crazy and there is no telling how many pair of those shoes were bought because of it.
I read years ago that a teenage girl wanted a pair of 100 dollar jeans and her mother refused. Then the mother got a great idea. She went and bought a pair of generic jeans with no label. She sewed on the back pocket their last name spelled backwards really cute. The daughter wore them to school the next day and the girls went crazy and asked her where did you get your jeans? They all wanted a pair!
These kids are so terrified that if they don't keep up with the Jones they will be outcasts. And that is so sad.
There's a difference between shopping at thrift stores because you want to, and shopping there because you have to. I always am cognizant of how fortunate I am that it's my choice to shop at thrift stores.
As far as I’m concerned, thrift store shopping is not only a frugal choice, but it’s also environmentally friendly because you are reducing your need for newly manufactured items and reusing someone else’s old stuff."
*****
Bang on. The two reasons I go to Thrift or Goodwill on occasion. Frugality and repurposing a used item vs. buying new.
It can save me money, and it doesn't add to consumptionism.
In my case that I posted, it's a sheet! One. Sheet.
Why should I or anyone shell out $40 for a new Wamsutta separate to use as a dog hair barrier?
As to returning a garage sale item with tags for cash? I'd never, ever do that.
Nowadays, I don't think any place will do that without a receipt. Most places give you store credit and make you spend every penny of it in the store.
I took my $10 TJMaxx rebate check and bought an item for over $9, less than $10. The cashier wrote on the back that I still had $.46 left on it!
They wouldn't even give me the change back.

Thanks for that. I've known about the Salvation Army for a long time and that's where my gently used items and clothing go.
As for this Sister-Wife crap, why should she be "devasted". She was in a plural what-ever-they-want-to-call-it. So she has a piece of paper and the others didn't? Big deal.
TLC is loving this crap because it will bring them ratings. (not from me) I wouldn't put it past TLC to be the masterminds of all this nonsense.
The whole lot of them make me want to puke.
Is it frugal to return goods you haven't paid for, without a receipt, for cash? Or is that over the line, even if the store does it?
&&&&
You're referring to what Kate does, and the issue there is she never should have accepted, and in many cases solicited, all those freebies in the first place. What she should have done, is asked donors to please give to the less fortunate, then turn herself around and go shopping with her own money at Plato's Closet for her children.
Oh- I go to thrift shops fairly often. I always bring bags of donations, and they give me a tax receipt to a certain charity they are partnered with. I figured they would want sales to turn over merchandise and to make money to donate and for profit and costs.

To my knowledge, Kate had never refused or discouraged freebies and gifts for her kids.
It's disgusting.
Moreover, I doubt her kids write thank you notes; Kate just sends tardy Tweets as general "thanks".
(Ugh, don't get me started with sending kids gifts and getting no response!)

Yeah. I know she was partly joking. But I think there's a different word for relationships where everyone is having sex with everyone. In this family's case, they all seem pretty adamant that the women individually have relations with Kody and no one else. Like Tucker said, when it's not your night to party, you sleep alone in your bed. Sister wives actually really is a good way to describe it, because you live with the women like sisters. You don't have sex with your sister. Usually anyway!

True to form, like all of TLC (reality tv) families, they end up being exposed as the huuuge hypocrites they are. They claim to be very religious, pure, modest yada yada yada.
and there she goes sending pics of herself giving fellatio to a banana! to a person she's NEVER even met? The catfishing is just karma as far as I'm concerned. Trying to sell their "lifestyle" as superior to monogamy and they've got dysfunction and sadness and bitterness by the tons. And they were selling it because they made a fortune $$ putting it ALL out there.
I've even read that the divorce to adopt storyline was made up. They divorced because Meri and Robin had a falling out and Robin left for some time. The douche of a husband lured her back with the promise of making her wife numero uno.

I guess he married her first, so it was legal. They then brought subsequent women into the marriage. She had first dibs on the guy.
It's consensual, but arguably it's not. These women are manipulated, put upon, brainwashed, emotionally put through the wringer, and then locked into the situation by having a kid or a ton of kids. I might be more comfortable if the women were allowed to bring other men around. Obviously they are not.
But hey, consenting adults. If you want to consent to something emotionally gut wrenching for you I guess you can.
I don't think plural marriage will ever be legal in this country because the child abuse lobby won't let it happen. That's not to say all polygamists abuse children. I don't think so. But that's why it won't happen.
Why I have always shopped in second hand stores in 3 words-
Reduce, re-use and recycle.
Drummed into my head at age 10 by the best teacher in my world, Mr. Schoffield. He saw the future and drove home the importance of the 3 Rs.
It'll never happen but what if everyone decided big box stories are overpriced and environmentally unfriendly and everyone said let's just shop at Plato's Closet.
I wonder if Target would start putting out used stuff!!
I like Rack stores too. It's stuff that was either worn once and returned or has minor flaws many of which you can fix with a needle and thread. It's clothes that are going to end up in the dumpster if someone doesn't take them.

_________________________________________________
Critics of polygamy in the early LDS Church have documented several cases where deception and coercion were used to induce marriage;[26] for example, the case of Joseph Smith warning some potential spouses of eternal damnation if they did not consent to be his wife is often cited as an example.[12] In 1893, married LDS Church member John D. Miles traveled to England and proposed to Caroline Owens, assuring her that he was not married. She returned to Utah and participated in a wedding, only to find out after the ceremony that Miles was already married. She ran away, but Miles hunted her down and raped her. She eventually escaped, and filed a lawsuit against Miles that reached the U.S. Supreme Court and became a significant case in polygamy case law.[27] Ann Eliza Young, nineteenth wife of Brigham Young, claimed that Young coerced her to marry him by threatening financial ruin of her brother.[28] However, LDS scholar Hugh Nibley disputed this claim, arguing that Ann Eliza and her mother had sought the marriage.[29]
Mormon apologists claim that these were isolated cases, and the vast majority of wives consented willingly to plural marriage.[citation needed]

Not slamming, just presenting a different way to think about it. I realize that the funds used go to help needy people but wouldn't it be better to just give them a donation?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Many of us do both -- donate and purchase items. It's quite common to take our used items to these places and then shop to donate to others. That way, they get our donations and also our cash to keep others employed."
************************************************
I call it renting my clothes. I buy most of my clothes from our local Sally Ann (nickname for Salvation Army Thrift Stores) and twice a year I go through my closet and donate back what I no longer use, usually having worn the items only a couple of times.
I've heard less than good things about GoodWill as well. I heard it doesn't even have non-profit status and that its name is simply a marketing gimmick to encourage people to donate. I don't know if that's entirely true mind you.
What I do know, and have benefited from as a young single parent, is that the Salvation Army Thrift Stores fund a variety of Salvation Army programs throughout our city and help some of our most vulnerable residents.
There is absolutely no shame in shopping at a thrift store and I am proud to support them. Why would I spend my hard earned money lining some corporate executives pocket when I could be helping the poor AND reducing my carbon footprint?
It's a no-brainer.

Where does Cody sleep if he doesn't feel like sharing his favors?
To her surprise her 1 dollar dress rang up $117.50! To her shock, they took it back
That is a white collar crime. Stealing, plain and simple. Something tells me your SIL didn't disclose she bought it at a garage sale.

-------------------------
Have you ever checked out the Warehouse deals on Amazon, under the Open Box and Used tab? Most of those items were returned to Amazon, brand new, some boxes dented, but items in perfect condition. You can really find some bargains there, especially with shoes that were sent back because they just didn't fit the buyer. I recently got a brand new pair of sandals for five dollars with free shipping that sell on Amazon for $40.00.
I have more respect for Hugh Hefner. At least he owns it. He doesn't try to wrap his proclivities in religious doctrine.

SS- yes I am really upset at the expense when one goes to a hospital. I don't think it is because someone takes unused plastic items from surplus. I agree that we should look long and hard at what makes it so expensive and rally against that. Let me give you some hints Have you checked what doctors have to pay for insurance to protect themselves from mistakes that all humans make and by bogus suits? Have you checked to see what the head of the hospital earns? Not just his/her salary but the leased cars, and many, many other perks? Our tiny hospital pays a salary of over 1 million to the hospital president.
====
Yep, I agree. Hospitals are big industry now. A huge chunk of healthcare money goes right into the Doctors Without Lamborghinis fund and unfortunately a lot of the time a patient's health and well-being isn't their first priority. That's not to say there aren't people totally dedicated to their profession though.
Even visitor parking is a freaking goldmine for our local hospital.

--------------------------
Interesting to know, but I'm not so sure it is like that across the board at Goodwill.
I usually donate to the SA, but not long ago I was zipping right past a Goodwill store with boxes of items to be donated, and rather than drive out of my way I figured it was just as easy to swing into Goodwill. I had some clothing, and household items that a friend of mine threw into my car after she moved...some heavy, bulky things.
A nice young man came out to help me unload my car. He had problems figuring out how to open the back of my SUV, so I jumped out to help him. While I was opening my car and putting some things in order in the back, he went on to help the next person in line. He was so busy and focused on what he was doing, whistling while he worked!
He was mentally challenged, and was so pleasant. His sister was sitting on the bench outside the store and while I was waiting for him to finish unloading the car in back of me, I was talking to her. She said that this job at Goodwill was a ¨godsend¨ for her brother. He had applied at other community places and Goodwill was the only one that would hire him. She told me that everyone was so nice to him, treated him with so much respect, and he finally had some sense of independence and is excited each time he receives a paycheck. She said at the end of the day he comes home with a smile on his face and talks non-stop about what he did during the day, and the new friends (employees) he made while on the job.
On the other hand, I have heard some not-so-nice stories about some things at Salvation Army. I guess there is the good and the bad in every organization.
It never even occurred to me that a local Thrift shop should only be patronized by low income people.
Buying from Thrift and Goodwill is supporting the needy.
-----------------------------
It never occurred to me, either. What have I been doing wrong all of these years? Shopping at thrift stores and talking things that should go to those who can't afford to shop at regular stores? All along I've thought that I have been doing something right when I buy there to support those less fortunate while helping to provide employment to those who really need jobs.
And damn, if I had to be in a plural marriage with Kody (eek!), I'd wish for 364 more sister wives..that way I'd only have to perform my duty once a year.

That is a white collar crime. Stealing, plain and simple. Something tells me your SIL didn't disclose she bought it at a garage sale.
-----------------------
No, it is not, white collar, blue collar, yellow collar or anything else. Unethical, yes, but nothing was stolen from the store since the original buyer most likely purchased it there and it was returned by another person. Where that other person obtained it has no bearing on anything.
Would I do it? Absolutely not. It's a shady thing to do, but not something that would put someone behind bars.
There is absolutely no shame in shopping at a thrift store and I am proud to support them. Why would I spend my hard earned money lining some corporate executives pocket when I could be helping the poor AND reducing my carbon footprint?

Exactly. As someone else said, why would you spend $100 on an item in a retail store when you can find a similar item for much less and keep the thrift shop in business to help those in need? If someone wants to throw their money away, fine, but in this economy, for many people every little bit of savings goes a long way.
I have to laugh at a friend of mine who swears by thrift shop buying. The only thing she will not buy is sleepwear, underwear and pants/jeans. No sleepwear because she doesn't know if someone died wearing it; no underwear or pants because she says it is disgusting thinking about her um, you know, coming into contact with clothing that touched another person's um, you know, even if it's washed several times before wearing it.
She's right, but I still tease her about it.
Mom (28): That is a white collar crime. Stealing, plain and simple.
((((((((((((((((((
What was stolen in that case? If someone steals an item from a store, tries to return it for cash or credit, that would be considered a crime, but if that item had been legitimately purchased, there is no crime involved there. Plain and simple.
I wonder if Target would start putting out used stuff!!
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Have you ever checked out Target for returned merchandise? If someone orders an item online and returns it to the store and they don't stock that particular item in a store, they sell it for just a song...some very good deals to be found there if you know where to look, at just a fraction of the online price!

I sometimes wonder about the impact of online resale websites like Craig's List and Kijiji have on charities like Goodwill and Sally Ann. You used to have to pay for an ad in a paper so you just donated it to charity. Now, people are marketing their items for free. Heck there are even Facebook pages dedicated to local buy and sell group. That had to have an impact on charities that deal in household goods.
I often find items I need on Amazon and check to see if they've had returns. I got a toaster for $60 that was regular 120. It didn't have a mark on it. (Don't toaster shame me. Yes, I know you can buy a toaster at Walmart for $10 but we had been through at least 6 cheap ones that were garbage and I decided to take a risk and buy an expensive one. Guess what, it works about the same as the cheap ones.)
I have never seen a homeless person shopping at a thrift store. That's not what they're for. They are fundraising places so that charities can provide exactly what their clients need. I don't know too many homeless people who need canning jars, a Hugo Boss sweater or a quesadilla maker.

When my MIL died earlier this year we donated all of her clothes, kitchen items and other junk to SA. Our town has a facebook page dedicated to selling/buying things and you have to join the group. We sold all of her furniture through that. Quick and easy and everything is paid in cash. I personally would not buy a used matress (just yuck!) but you wouldn't believe the number of people that were lined up to buy the ones we were selling. I think sites like this might give SA, GW and other organizations a run for their money. We made enough money to finance a vacation. We'll probably still get audited because of the amount of donations this year but we've got receipts to back everything up.
TFW must be filming something for the twins birthday. She's been too quiet and that only means one thing.

&&&&&&&&&&&
Our local thrift store often has BRAND NEW mattresses, still sealed with store tags at a fraction of the retail cost. What happens is that they have never been slept on because they come from new homes on the real estate market that are staged for showing. When they are finished with the open houses, they donate the mattresses to the local store. I knew that a shelter needed mattresses for victims of domestic abuse, and I managed to score four new ones for a total of ninety dollars. One of them still contained the original $399.00 price tag, a well-known brand name pillow-top mattress. What a bargain!
Even with used items such as this, including bedspreads, pillows, linens, etc., there is a law that all such items for sale must display yellow tags showing that they were all disinfected and decontaminated by standards set down by the Department of Labor and Industry.
That said, I wouldn't purchased a used mattress, either...it's just the thought of what might have been done on that mattress! Still, when you sleep in a hotel, others have slept on that same mattress.

I stopped at a local thrift shop today (motivated by the discussion yesterday) to check out their winter clothing that I always purchase for a shelter here. I have never seen so much merchandise at any of these stores. I commented to one of the gals who worked there and she rolled her eyes. She said that she had no idea what they were going to do with everything. People were cleaning their closets right now, clearing out summer things they didn't wear. She said that they didn't care if a shopper was needy or a millionaire, they just wanted customers in there to BUY!

White collar? It is not even a crime. Not an up-front thing to do, but not a reason the SWAT team will surround your house, or a search warrant will be served on you looking for other items that were purchased at a garage sale!

You two are too funny. :D
I think part of the appeal of thrift store shopping is the chance for people who can't afford new and can't afford to just write a cheque to shop and contribute to a greater good.
And thank you Blowing for your story (32), I didn't mean to imply Goodwill wasn't doing any good at all. Yes, I'm sure there are good and not so good parts to both organizations.
BTW, I have to agree with your friend, though I've never found underwear in my shop...bras maybe, and add bathing suit. Nope.

Maybe she is still depressed about being dumped. Wasn't it on her birthday that she didn't acknowledge the many birthday wishes, or am I thinking of something else?

Im wondering if she got slapped with a gag order.
I don't know too many homeless people who need canning jars, a Hugo Boss sweater or a quesadilla maker.

Well you never know when they might need those canning jars because "bums make their own gravy".

@Kateplusmy8 isn't it Mady and Cara's birthday today? 😊🎁🎂

Gee, I don't know. Ask Milo.
The saying,
"Bums make their own gravy" means they're responsible for their circumstances.
Fortunately people are learning, albeit too slowly, that many who wander the streets with nowhere to go aren't "bums" They are in need of help from society.
"It is estimated that from 15-25 percent of all homeless are mentally ill, far below “most.” However, since in the general population of the United States up to 40 percent of all people are diagnosed with a mental illness sometime in their lives, it must be seen that there is something amiss with these statistics. From what I have found, the lower statistic for homeless people indicate those who are diagnosed with a mental illness. But since more than half of all homeless people are without any heath care insurance, then most would not have been able to be diagnosed, and even of those who were diagnosed, many of them deny the diagnosis. Thus, we should amend the statistic to say that the amount of homeless that are mentally ill is unknown, but the number might reach as much as half."

No, no, no! I didn't mean anything by "bums make their own gravy". It was nothing more than a line from a Monk episode which is why I said they might need the jars. I know there are Monk fans here that caught the reference. And BTW, at the end of the episode they did give Mr. Monk a jar of gravy.
Is there room under the veranda for me? I promise that I won't make any more tongue in cheek jokes unless there are Monk fans present because I don't want another lecture. If you google the phrase a reference to Mr. Monk and the Miracle does come up. And now I shall slink off into the sunset.

NJgal, always room for you, here's a straw, and I learned something new today. Will have to binge Monk when Winterfalls.
For any British TV show fans, I can highly recommend the original BBC House of Cards, filmed in 1990. I'm watching it on Netflix after rewatching the American version with Kevin Spacey & Robin Wright. The Americn version concentrates on the wife much more than the English show does. Loved Robin Wright in her role.....and her wardrobe!
Sootching on over and handing Sheepless a straw we gots kegs of everything here

Thank you localyocal for posting the cute picture that Jon posted of him and the girls. I was going to post this as soon as I got on but I started reading.
Wonder if TFW is going to acknowledge their birthday at all!
Here's what happened! I happen to know there are several Monk fans who have been a part of this blog. NJGal51 and Sheepless that was priceless. I've seen every episode, including the Holiday gravy special. My mind went right to Monk, as that's the only time I'd ever heard that expression. I thought it was a germaphobic Monkish thing all this time. You know- nature is dirty. I just asked my husband and apparently we all share like minds! It would be difficult to measure the precious worldly knowledge I've learned here over the years. We still use the phrase every year around Thanksgiving.
On that note- it will be a cold day in Hell the next time I think about eating a banana, after trying to un-see the Meri Brown sexts to her Catfisher Casanova.
Somebody hold me. The night terrors, ugh.

Nobody panic or clutch their pearls too hard. That gravy joke was just a Monk reference!
Did anyone hear what Dick Van Dyke is doing for his 90th birthday?
He's basically spending the next couple weeks hosting various charity events. The first one involved him collecting a bunch of artwork from his fans, mostly of him, and putting it on display in a gallery in L.A. Apparently some of it is REALLY good. Anyone can go see it, and all the proceeds go to charity. He's also having some musicians perform and supposedly a whole host of other events lined up as the days go by. All to charity.
Talk about using your celebrity for good.

I don't know, redbird, but so far her TL has less than 30 birthday tweets. Things are very slow over there. I thought that today it would be flooded with birthday wishes, considering that she has thousands of followers.
OT...Recipe needed for crockpot
There was a chicken with salsa and pineapple recipe posted a while ack. Anyone have it? I want to try it
Free rumspringa in exchange, muchos gracias!
I miss Mr. Monk. Loved this one, when Sharona and Adrian were shopping for a new lamp to replace Monk's broken one:
Monk: ¨It's not silver. The other one was silver.¨
Sharona: ¨It's just a lamp. If you were blindfolded, you wouldn't know the difference.¨
Monk: ¨If I was blindfolded, why would I need a lamp?¨
And this one, when the captain and Randy couldn't find Monk:
The captain: ¨He's here somewhere. Separated the fruit salad.¨
Good times!
Thanks to everyone who caught the Monk reference and knew I wasn't making light of the homeless situation. AND, she's back.

Either the twins are asserting themselves or, as someone said, she's under a gag order or something similar. There's always the possibility that if TLC did film they to,d her she couldn't post pictures.
Team Sharona!
Say... I think it was Tuesday or Thursday's they did chicken pot pie night every week. Yum
I bought a brand new, boxed Rival crock pot at the Salvation Army last year for $9. My mother had us all thrifting before we could walk... or say poppin' some tags! The folks at Value Village here laugh whenever I come in singing that tune. LOL

Catching up on comments here. My church operates a thrift store (St. Vincent DePaul Society) and food pantry. We love for anyone to come in and shop at the thrift store. The money made goes to purchase perishable items for the food pantry, help fund scholarships for our Parochial elementary school (about half our students receive some form of financial assistance and about half of those are not members of the Parish), and fund other charitable activities. The thrift store is for anyone and everyone. The food pantry is not -- income guidelines apply for those who request assistance, although no one truly in need is turned away.

My church growing up partnered with them too! The thrifting was one of our best fund raisers and sent hundreds of high schoolers around the country building houses for the less fortunate without the kids having to shell out a dime of their own money. Great experience for them.
We called them "St. Paulie's" for short. Not sure if that was just us who came up with that!

US Magazine picked up Jon's birthday tweet. Maybe that's why Kate tweeted and of course made sure to mention that her tweet didn't include a photo. She really does still hate him.
Yes, please save the pearl-clutching for important things like when Kate wears Red Cross blanket and you are convinced she is naked underneath and being inappropriately seductive.
-------------
As opposed to being appropriately seductive?
I didn't want to like Natalie but she grew on me too. I was happy when Randy and Sharona ended up together. One of my favorite Monkisms was when he wouldn't drink water while camping because "When I drink water I make water." Priceless. Now I'm going to have to download and re watch.
It could also mean that a gag order was recently put in place, for either parent not to post current photos of the kids. Maybe the throwback photo Jon posted beat Kate to the punch.
My new catch phrase is... Thrifting NOT Grifting. There are too many giving souls here to mention. We also support Habitat for Humanity in my family. My sister's home has beautiful antique furniture we purchased after Sally Field had donated it to the cause from one of her L.A. homes.

What if the dress was given as a gift with the tag still attached and the recipient returned the dress & got the cash - would that also be a crime? In both instances the dress is fully paid for by one person & returned by a different person. It may not be something most of us would be comfortable doing, but it's certainly not a crime.

@@@@@@@@@@@
Of course Kate tweeted because Jon tweeted. What is really telling is that the girls would not let her post any pictures. That has the ring of truth from any 15 year old girl who doesn't believe they look all that great (like a bad zit day or bad hair day). And since we know it's a fact they are on social media, they read everything about themselves. And I bet the birthday bash will be filmed or has already been filmed, of course not ever on their actual birthday. Or maybe, just maybe, the girls declined to be embarrassed publicly. What's a fame whore mother to do?
As a former 15 year old and having raised a 15 year old girl, I can see these girls are becoming independent, a problem for their mother, LOL. Most likely something was filmed with a big, expensive gift to the girls as a payoff but it took some blackmailing. IMO.

sweet!
Value village and Sally Anne kept this single mom and DD warm many a times!
I will always be thankful for them, kept more money in my pockets for other things like food and shelter.
I still shop there and bring back my gently worn (and washed) clothing
Why is it okay for Jon to post a pic of he and the girls? I'm not hearing any backlash. If Kate had posted a pic she would have bern vilified.
&&&&
Why would anyone be vilified for posting a sweet pic of a parent with their kids when they were little? He posted a pic from when they were little girls. There was nothing about it that invaded their privacy or violated their wishes. He did what any parent would do. I thought it was sweet.
And actually, good for Kate respecting her kids' wishes not to have their birthday pics posted. 15 is an awkward age.
The girls don't want their pic tweeted but they are A OK with filming? I don't think they are that A OK with filming.....
I don't think they are that A OK with filming.....
&&&&
Oh they're A Ok with filming. For a price.
I think they film for a price, too. Sweet Sixteen will definitely be a car. I can see it now. An episode where they get their permits, mom teaching them to drive with screams and eye rolls, etc. I hope, though, the girls put their privacy ahead of any incentive their mother offers and refuse to have all that go public. It won't be funny and it won't be cute, but if TLC and Kate get their way, it will happen.
Another controversy for TLC:
From Radar Online...
According to court documents RadarOnline.com has obtained, Utah lawyers filed a response to Kody Brown’s lawsuit that asserts that the Browns deserve privacy in their controversial “marriage” choices.
The State explains in the court papers that the family is asking the law not to interfere with their “constitutional privacy right to ‘family decisions to organize child-rearing and romantic relationships among multiple partners in addition to Mr. Brown’s single legal spouse,'” and to “place an emphasis on privacy rights of ‘conduct in the home’ and a ‘group’s freedom to choose its own marriage structure so long as its participants are consenting adults.'”
However, the state insists being the stars of a TLC reality show negates their claims. “Plaintiffs cannot have it both ways, claiming privacy rights not recognized by Lawrence, and then also making their case public in media covering The Sister Wives.”
Federal Solicitor Parker Douglas also argues that comparing the Browns’ request for polygamy legalization to Warren Jeffs, the leader of the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints Church, is warranted and that the cult is the reason plural marriages should remain illegal.
Exactly. They have her over a barrell

Thank you and you're welcome sweet Redbird
Kind of funny Jon posted that old photo, appropriate for a birthday, because he outsmarted Kate, who couldn't get the twins to cooperate for a current photo. Seems she had to explain why there was no photo which I don't get because I would not have thought anything about that. Instead, she's opened herself up to speculation the girls are camera shy or at least we know Cara is so maybe she could not get her cooperation. Cara is such a big girl now and I don't get the impression she is much interested in her mother's schemes. Mady on the other hand is a drama queen just like mom.
TLC Stinks (#100), I have a feeling you're right about the car for
the twins' 16th birthday, and the filmed driving lessons. But the
"storyline" will be that this poor frazzled single mom of 8 has to
teach not one, but TWO girls how to drive, and chaos ensues!
Gosh, if only they had a dad!
But in real life, my guess is TFW will pass the twins off to their
father for driving lessons, and just pretend to do it for the
camera.

Twins driving:
In our state, you have 2 choices: parent taught or driving school.
If you choose parent taught, only ONE parent is allowed to do all of the practice driving. Start to finish, ONE parent.
There's no way Jon could do this for the twins as he rarely sees them. Even regular visitation wouldn't allow enough hours to get the driving hours requirement.

I don't remember that being the case. I had to sign something saying mine had so many hours of training, but it's on the parent's word. I could sign it if she drove with someone else; that would count. Mine did do a driving course too; it lowers insurance rates, but they can drive with anyone who is a licensed adult driver.
In fact, when my niece had her permit, I used to let her drive me up to get my daughter at her dad's in Berks County so she could get the practice hours.

++++++++++++++
Jon doesn't have to be the only parent to supervise driving. Both Kate and Jon could do it. A parent needs to sign the required hours form, but it is not limited to just one parent. When they get their learner's permit, either parent can drive with them.

LOL!! No, it is not a crime, nor is it stealing. Nothing was stolen. Who is posting this information and expecting us to believe it? Geez.
Jon sees the twins more than rarely, so come on. Now he can't teach them to drive?
That sounds very Katish. Just marginalize the father of 8 children at every turn and make him out to be absent.
For whatever reason the girls don't stay at his house, and I hope that changes, but to imply that Jon doesn't do parenting things--things as huge as teaching his child to drive-- is off base to me.

*************
So if the item was BOUGHT at a garage sale, and the original buyer BOUGHT it, what was stolen? The store had every right to refuse a return, which they obviously did not do.
I still contend on the weekends Jon is with his kids, he probably
spends more hours actually interacting with them than their
mother does during the other 5 days. Not barking orders at
them, not avoiding them, but talking and listening and being
present and attending to their emotional needs. Just a guess,
based on behavior I witnessed from both parents during many
hours of a show about which TFW claimed, "What you see is
what you get."
"They wouldn’t approve any pics for me to post so no pics"
====
So is she saying she would have posted them had the girls approved? It could be she had already taken pics of them on their birthday and they don't want those particular pictures out there now. It's also possible Jon was told the same thing and they approved of the one he chose because it was an old photo.
At any rate I'm glad to see the girls are exercising some authority over their personal lives and Kate has bend to their wishes. I doubt she's happy with it, though.
They're 15 now. Let the games begin.

I'm glad the twins are telling their mother to keep them off her social media. It's got to be tough being in high school and having your life put out there for everyone to see.
I hope one day, the twins will tell Kate to get the cameras out of their faces.
Tucker's Mom (#121), bless their hearts, M & C did try to get TLC
out of their lives as little girls with the handmade, misspelled,

But if she is telling them that if they want cars, designer this and that like the other kids have, then they need to bite the bullet and film because she's not paying for those things, and that their dead-beat dad isn't contributing to their support. I can just see her holding that over them and saying that ¨you choose," knowing full well that these kids feel that they are entitled and they will have to go along with filming because it brings in the money.
Joy Behar is getting a show on TLC, "Late Night Joy".
From TLC's press release:
"(Silver Spring, Md.) – TLC is jumping for Joy – literally – with the announcement of its new half-hour weekly series LATE NIGHT JOY (wt), hosted by comedienne/talk-show personality Joy Behar and her real-life pals. Every week, Joy plays host to a late-night house party in her NYC apartment where she gathers her closest friends to drink and dish about the things that can only be said behind closed doors – (her closed doors, in fact!). The party starts Wednesday, November 4, at 11/10c. The series is produced by True Entertainment and Behar’s JoyBee Productions.
Joy’s joined by longtime friend Susie Essman (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and real-life pals from her various social circles to throw back a few, relax and gossip. Just as the gabfest is getting good, the doorbell rings, and a celebrity guest drops in on the fun. Celebrity lineup includes Theresa Caputo, Wendy Williams, Don Lemon, Sherri Shepherd and Colin Quinn.
Each week, viewers are invited to look in on these intimate conversations amongst friends, and, as Joy would say, “so what, who cares,” if the cameras are rolling. Nothing is off limits, as Joy and her guests get down to the bottom of some very burning questions: are dating apps ruining our chances of finding true love? Is single the new black? Are there any secrets worth keeping from your husband? Is political correctness killing comedy? Who’s binge eating this week and why?"
I wonder if Kate is going to try to get an invite to appear on the show. She's probably already on the phone with TLC begging for an appearance.

Yes, Carlene. It was a thunderstorm. Just your garden variety storm with rain. Nothing to be in panic about and nothing through which Kate couldn't drive home from the bus stop! No tornadoes, no hurricanes, no tropical storms.
Why didn't she remind her to take Shoka inside?
But if she is telling them that if they want cars, designer this and that like the other kids have, then they need to bite the bullet and film because she's not paying for those things, and that their dead-beat dad isn't contributing to their support.

I have no doubt this is the case. When they were younger, Kate told them they'd lose the house and school, and now that they know that's b.s., the kids can leverage bigger, better goodies.
localyocal, I think the pictures that Jon tweeted of M and C were beautiful!
I think M and C told Mommy no birthday pictures on twitter or TLC slapped that behind with a gag order no pictures.

Sherri Shepherd is an interesting choice for Joy' s show. I thought Joy

In our state, you have 2 choices: parent taught or driving school.
If you choose parent taught, only ONE parent is allowed to do all of the practice driving. Start to finish, ONE parent.

That's not how it is in PA, so what does that have to do with anything?
I'm not sure I understand the wisdom of that law. Isn't it better to learn from a variety of driving skills when you're learning? For instance my dad was great at parallel parking so he was the one who taught me that. My mom's strength was defensive driving so I learned how best to do that from her. She only parrallel parked to take her driver's test and never did it again.
Admit it, if Kate had posted a pic, an old or current one, it would have been attributed to exploitation.

Well, I think it's hard to compare the two because Kate posts a ton of pics of the kids all the time and so her posting more pics seems to be a piling on. Jon doesn't post much of his kids, so a pic once in awhile seems reasonable.
But all things being equal, I can't speak for others but for myself, I don't really care if Kate wants to post a cute pic of the twins from their preschool days or whatever. We've already seen those years and I don't see what's exploitive about that. In fact, it's cute, and it's what lots of parents do on their birthday. My friends' son turned seven today and she reposted three or four photos when he was an infant. I don't see the problem with that. It was nice to reminisce over how tiny and cute he was.
ha! It's a crime someone sells their $117 dress for a buck at a garage sale.

yer welcome =P
franky, AKA ... NEW-ish math girl
Admin (#128), you said something about "all things being equal."
And I have to admit that that's why I tend to give Jon more leeway:
because things will never be equal. TFW has acted cruelly,
abusively, unkindly, and on and on, towards these 8 children on
whose very existence she has built a career. She's admitted
she's continued to film because there's no better way to support
them. And for that, I admit, I will continue to be more suspicious
of her behavior and motives. Jon may not always be the sharpest
tool in the shed, but I can't remember ever thinking he was cruel
or cunning or conniving or manipulative in matters regarding his
children. But TFW? Myriad examples of all of the above.

Jon and his girls? Cute and adorable. A dad's genuine love for his kids. Normal behaviour.
Kate and the girls? She knows she's nothing without her kids so she uses them to keep herself relevant. If she ever showed one scintilla of love toward them I'd believe her. She doesn't so I don't. She wasn't worried about her kid's lives being mediocre, she was worried about her life being mediocre.
I also continue to hold certain people under heavier clouds of suspicion than others. And some I'm not suspicious of at all, so they get the benefit of the doubt.
There is no one sized fits all in life, or in the Gosselin situation. To have different standards for different people doesn't always mean there's a "double" standard. Sometimes it just means, based on a person's history, you've given them a different standard.

What in the world? The Carlene sheeple is in Florida. How would she know that we are having bad weather (severe thunderstorm warning) unless she has taken over Milo's job and put text alerts into her phone for bad weather in Berks County?
____________
These fans are idiots. What is Carlene going to do if one of Kate's three cars fishtails in the rain? Rescue her?
I guess Carlene lives in a part of Florida where they don't have thunderstorms every afternoon and the thought of one in Kate's area freaks her out.
I would be totally creeped out if I knew that an obsessed fan is following the weather reports in my area. I mean, that goes beyond what a ¨normal¨ fan would do.

Why would we admit it if we didn't believe it to be true? How often does Jon post pictures of himself and his kids? Not often enough to count on one hand.
How often does Kate, who is nothing without those kids, post pictures of them doing cutesy thing...bird on head, pic of first day of school, pictures of the girls in her bed, ad nauseam? Every time she needs attention!
Now, shoo, drive-by. Find another playground. It is still warm enough for you to be outside.
Jon and his girls? Cute and adorable. A dad's genuine love for his kids. Normal behaviour.

Daddy's girls. Adorable pic. Jon looks genuinely happy and full of love. Kate never does. Always fake and posed.
I'm not sure I understand the wisdom of that law. Isn't it better to learn from a variety of driving skills when you're learning? For instance my dad was great at parallel parking so he was the one who taught me that. My mom's strength was defensive driving so I learned how best to do that from her. She only parrallel parked to take her driver's test and never did it again.
-----
-----
lol! You should have seen me parallel park my big SUV in a space big enough for a Ford Focus. It took one try. People on the sidewalk were cheering me on. I really didn't think I could do it, but I pulled it off and got an applause. It is not something, however, that I would want to do everyday. I just got lucky.
In our state, you have 2 choices: parent taught or driving school.
If you choose parent taught, only ONE parent is allowed to do all of the practice driving. Start to finish, ONE parent.
-----
-----
I guess I am not understanding this. So if you choose driving school, how do you get in the required hours? What if you want to practice every day after school, or in the evenings? Do you have to get the driver's ed teacher to come to your house and take you out on the road?
The T-Storms are moving through my area now, which is unbelievable timing because an enormous old tree just fell in our back yard-- half between our house and our neighbor, and half on her house.

I wonder if Kate is going to try to get an invite to appear on the show. She's probably already on the phone with TLC begging for an appearance.

It says ¨among friends.¨ Is Kate a friend of Joy? I thought that Joy couldn't stand her, or am I thinking of someone else? Kate has so few friends!
====================
I as going to post that Kate couldn't host a show like Joy's new one because she has no interesting friends (and isn't interesting herself).
In addition to friends (regulars) there are drop-in guests.
"Joy’s joined by longtime friend Susie Essman (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and real-life pals from her various social circles to throw back a few, relax and gossip. Just as the gabfest is getting good, the doorbell rings, and a celebrity guest drops in on the fun. "
I guess that's where Kate would try to fit in.
That's also where Sherri Shepherd is listed. Not a regular or a friend, but a drop-in guest.
Milo! Carlene!
Kate is trending on Yahoo! Then again, so is a king cobra.
For the Monk lovers out there...
My two boy Wire Fox Terriers are named Adrian and Ambrose. Adrian is very messy, and Ambrose is not afraid to leave the house. Go figure.

OT...freezing corn on the cob
( kinda related)
DO NOT do what you-tube tutorials say. I froze corn on the cob, both ends cut, left husk leaves. Microwaved them as stated...MUSHY.
Put them in my crock-pot irish stew = MUSHY.
got 3 cobs left, will try steaming, but think they will turn out....yup, you guessed it....MUSHY!
So, Oh ise ladies of the verandah, how do we store corn on the cob for winter?
PS. My only food allergy is MUSHY vegetables.
thank you in advance
Tucker's Mom (#150), yeah, what a downer TFW would be at
that table. She's no Dorothy Parker. What in the world would
she have to offer intellectually to a conversation? She may think
her ex is mediocre, but he's out in the world interacting with lots of different kinds of people in his line of work. Meanwhile, she's
traveled extensively, but with a buffer by the name of Steve who
has prevented her from the type of human connection that gives
a person depth and perspective.

Looks like today is not a good day for Cosby. First, the deposition in the Huth suit, and the TV special. Then to top it off a Massachusetts judge ruled today that the defamation suit brought against him can move forward.

I really haven't been following the Cosby saga as closely as I should. It got convoluted. But I heard today the deposition is about a victim who was a minor at the time.
That ain't good. For Cosby. Potentially, this civil action could develop into criminal charges and jail time. This isn't over.
Well, our neighbor had her insurance show up to assess the damage already, AND a tree guy.
We also signed on with the same tree guy to just get it all done. A 90-ton crane will be here first thing in the morning.
Once we get the tree up and out we'll see what the real damage is.
Love it Sherry Baby!
Dateline has 27 of Cosby's alleged victims on tonight. I swear, I don't know how anyone could possibly think that they're all lying.
The stories and eerily similar and the women are genuinely pained to the core.
Ladies, ladies. Pul-ease. It's Friday night and we're all tired, but do you seriously believe sKate isn't going to be on Joy's show? C'mon, this is TLC we're talking about. Joy's show is going to be a revolving door of TLC "talent". Heck, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised to see a few Duggars drop by.

That ain't good. For Cosby. Potentially, this civil action could develop into criminal charges and jail time. This isn't over.
------------------------------
Another of his accusers filed, Chloe Goins, filed a civil lawsuit on Tuesday. Her case might just be the one that causes criminal charges to be filed against him. The LA Police investigated her complaint, which was filed in January, and turned over their finding to the DA. According to her lawyers, her case should be within the statute of limitations.
"Her lawyers now believe she has a valid claim to bring forward both criminal and civil action against Cosby.
“The statute in California's very clear,” said Kuven. “She has eight years after age of majority, eight years after turning 18 to bring her claim up until age 26. Chloe right now is 25 years old. So, she is, we believe, squarely within the statues of limitations."
http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/bill-cosby-deposed-today-amid-mounting-sexual-assault/story?id=34371076
The part about her case is in the bottom half of the article.
Criminal charges are on the table for sure.
I've seen the police take 12 months or more to investigate a sex abuse case before the prosecutor files. Ducks need to be in a row. I'm guessing they're letting Gloria take the lead on this one, get all the information out there, and then they'll pounce. I don't think he's going to get away with this. It's just going to be long and torturous how this plays out.

I have to stop drinking. I read this as ¨bleach in boiling water.¨ Why fool around with bleach? Just buy white corn.
Another article I read about Joy's show is that TLC has only ordered 5 episodes so far. Seems like guests for those spots have been booked--Don Lemon, Sherri Shepherd, Teresa Caputo, Wendy Williams, and Colin Quinn.
If the show gets a go ahead for more episodes, I can definitely see Kate trying to wrangle a spot.
In reading about this show, it kind of reminds me of Watch What Happens Live, and we all remember how "great" Kate was on that show.
I don't think he's going to get away with this. It's just going to be long and torturous how this plays out.

I wonder if he asks himself now if the sex was worth it.

Dear Lord, the last thing we need is another O. J. Simpson. That's what I think this will be.
franky, have you tried cooking corn on the cob in a igloo cooler?
All you do is take a clean igloo cooler and place all of your cleaned corn on the cob inside and then boil a pot of water and pour the water over the top of the corn. Close the lid and in 30 minutes, perfect corn.
youtube has a lot of videos on it including cooking a perfect med. rare steak. It is a great idea to cook the corn in the cooler because it frees up range space on the stove to cook other food and for a large crowd.
The deposition.
The judge ruling for the lawsuit to go forward.
The tv special.
They say it comes in 3's. And it did today!
I agree with PJ. Of course TFW will be on Joy's show. TLC has to promote her somehow and it didn't look like the network shows were clamoring to have her on the last time her "specials" aired.

Something interesting I learned from the OJ tape specials is the percentage of people who think OJ is innocent has dropped dramatically since it first happened. Literally everyone now thinks he did it.
OJ was perhaps the first time a celebrity that huge who was that adored did something terribly horrifically wrong. Add the LAPD/race factor and it was hard to accept for some. But I guess time makes one reasonable, and now people get it.
OJ was also, I think, the last time people will be that gullible. We learned from that. We learned someone with such a special place in our hearts can betray us that badly.
You really don't see the kind of staunch support for Cosby you did for OJ. Oh a few supporters pop up now and again, your Whoopies and such, but everyone looks at them like they're nuts. You're not going to see a bunch of "Free Jello Pudding Man" signs along the 10 freeway this time around. Times have changed. For the better.

Was there any kind of lab tests that could of proven that his blood was on the clothes and knife?

OJ's case was definitely racially divided. O.J. was a hero and beacon to black people and they defended him without any regard to the people he brutally killed.
It was really sickening.
I vividly remember when the verdict came in and the reactions also went along racial lines, with many gloating and high-fiving in victory.
I think some people didn't even care if he really did do it; they just wanted a "win".

Here is what I was thinking about Kate not posting the twins' pictures. She threw that ¨approval¨ thing out there because she wants us to know that ALL photos she posts are given approval by all of the kids, thus respecting their wishes, therefore she is such a good mom.
In addition, this came after Jon posted the photo of his daughters with him, and it could have been a dig at him, implying that unlike her, he did not ask permission from the girls to post them and just went ahead and did it. She was, in her way, getting in a jab at him even though nobody else realized it.

Yes, Blowing in the Wind, it makes perfect sense!
I think when Jon posted the picture, she just HAD to look good in good light. But, she failed miserably. She is SO CRUEL!
I hope M and C have her on a short leash. She deserves it.
Can't imagine when M and C are joined with the rest of the gang and they all have her on 8 short leashes.
What's a sower of bad reaping to do?
Blowing (#197), I completely agree. TFW has mastered the art of
finding ways to make subtle digs at her ex. She leaves the
direct hits to her minions, who are more than happy to oblige.
For all we know, the twins could've been sound asleep by the time
TFW found out about Jon's tweet, and she hadn't even taken any
birthday pictures of them -- approved or otherwise. I'm skeptical
that she's suddenly taking their feelings into account, but I'd be
happy if it's true.
