On April 7 Kate tweeted this:
“@XXXX you're so energetic miss gardener:) tomorrow we plant our organic veges inside then will move outside when they sprout yay!”
However today, when someone asked if she had a garden, she tweeted this:
"no but my kids seem to think we need one"

| Oh no she didn't! |
According to studies, small embellishments can have positive psychological effects. In a 2008 study, researchers found that college students who exaggerated their GPA in interviews later showed improvement in their grades. Their fiction, in other words, became self-fulfilling. "Exaggerators tend to be more confident and have higher goals for achievement," said Richard Gramzow, a psychologist at the University of Southampton in England and one of the study's coauthors. "Positive biases about the self can be beneficial." People who deceive themselves also tend to be happier than people who do not, some research suggests. There are social payoffs, too: Studies have shown that people who lie frequently are viewed as friendlier and more amiable than their more truthful counterparts.
Kate's web of lies has caught up with her time and time again, and yet something keeps driving her to keep on spinning them. Is it because it makes her happier to put up such a facade?

I have so many cool food blogs that I'd love to follow but don't know how to do it 'conveniently'.
Is there a way I can sign up for blogs?
Is what I want called RSS feed?
Will the blogs show up in my email?
How do I do this????? Waaaaaaa... I feel so tired having to GO to each blog and click on it. My kart inner self is showing - I'm so ashamed! ha ha
I have so many that I follow that if I put shortcuts for all of them on my screen it would be all filled up. Is that the only/best way to do it?
I'm 'sort of' computer savvy, but this one seems to be above my skill level.
Thank you, oh Mighty Savvy Ones. You have my enduring gratitude and aweness (is that a word?) LOL
Yes, crocs in court will be allowed, as long as they are black.
Wait, poop on that, let's say they must be red! Won't we be stylin'.... let's make admin really proud of us!
Dont forget to bring NJGal and the rest from NJ so they can say "the two yutes" LOL
Take me along, friends, I am up for any reason to go back home and you wont need Garmin w/me. I can handle the SoCal traffic!!
Can I be the person who shouts out "I OBJECT!" all the time? Dmasy can say "But yer Honor..." and readerlady can say "Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury" alot. I think there might be some kind of paperwork here and there too. So we'll need someone to make an In pile and an Out pile... Oh, we'll need someone to always say "May we approach the bench?"... Can someone find out if we are allowed to wear our Muumuu's and crocs in court? i dont see why not.
______________
I want to do the "sidebar" thing! I'm cutting my hair in the Marcia Clark style and buying some new suits.
Oh, and we must make room in the vehicle for Ms. Manners. I'll bring her along so we all will remain our normal gracious selves.
She's really not a party pooper, she can drink wine just like the rest of us. She just never gets tanked or falls down. She's what's known as 'a lovely tippler'........ ha ha
May I dress up my chihuahua, Bruiser, in a pink suit? All of the little jury people can see him in his little pink tote bag.
Oh, sh*t...... I hope it was OK for me to invite myself along on the road trip.... Ms. Manners just gave me the stink eye. A lovely stink eye, but none-the-less, she thinks I was being too presumptuous....
Is an apology in order? I'm sowwy..............

Sheri, I think you hit the nail on the head with the definition of jealousy. They can't possibly deny it now- but they will. It really is the sheeple who are jellus of Kate.
I am envious of Kate for one reason- she has someone (a team actually) to do her yard word- I wouldn't mind that- no siree! :)

I'm game for this road trip. I can bring some John Grisham novels and some DVDs of tv shows involving lawyers. I wonder if Perry Mason or Matlock are available on DVD.
I vote we take the train out there. Much more time for sitting in the club car drinking rumspringas all along the way. By the time we get to Kansas we should have a pretty good buzz going on...
It's going to rain here any minute. Looks like the barbecue may be a wash-out. I thought this was supposed to be a gorgeous weekend.
I volunteer to be the one to read the case like in Law & Order: California vs. Liar Liar Pants on Fire # 35807. I'll end with All Rise! This court is now in session.
Who's going to be the court reporter/recorder? The one who types into that little 4 inch cube with long strips of paper coming out of it?
Happy Sunday everyone!
Dwindle, it is hilarious that a little zucchini started that pot in the brownies rumor!
Road Trip! I call shotgun because I will navigate, I am directionally gifted ish like! Plus I will research interesting sights along the way like the largest ball of twine. We can just drive by and take photos and not stop. I have my green croc s ready, but I would rather wear my lime green ” Life is better in flip flops” tshirt, and my pink flip flops that are mega comfy. Oh, and denim shorts over the bathing suit I will wear the entire way in case we stop anywhere with a pool. Admin, you DO have a HEATED pool, do you not? We simply must have one, so if you don't please get started digging that sucker NOW!
cynthiacairns
@aprilwerling @emeraldcityjazz @allisstair @kateplusmy8 - I just lend support to a mother and her children. And you should be ashamed!
Why do these people believe that Kate needs their support? What do they hope to accomplish? All they are doing is enabling her in her delusions. That's not support. That's helping her along with her fantasies.
Kate's a big girl. She doesn't need support from sheeple. She's off television. She has no job. Let her figure it all out for herself.
Do the sheeple think that if they "lend support" that they will somehow be closer to Kate, thus she will reach out to them in undying gratitude? Is it self-serving for the sheeple?

Are you referring to the pathetic writing style of Kate? Coz the 12 year old in that article writes beautifully!! I can just feel her excitement and amazment at all those new flavors. And she put so much effort into finding out what the ingredients were and how things were presented so she could describe them accurately (none of this kindergarten "Ohh look! Fishy in paper!")
So many things going on today! Let me see if I can make short comments:
I think no one picked up TV show and Kate is going to put up her own on
You-Tube! She probably figured out she can make tons of money through endorsements. What did she tweet " I wish I had filmed every second."
Kate thinks her haters will continue to make her rich by watching her kids! She made that comment on DWTS, that her haters are her biggest audience!
Kate cries because she misses her fame, not her kids being little. Mady and Cara are her new best friends because she needs them. I also think Mady is willing to sacrifice her own future to go into the entertainment industry for Kate , at least at this age, maybe she'll wise up as she gets older! Hopefully!
What happened to her best friend , the pap from INF Daily, he's not taking her calls anymore????
OK, ladies signing up for the trip. My treat! I am a video poker player and a Seven Stars Harrah's player. There are Caesar's Entertainment properties in 11 states...we can make "free" stops along the way...drinks free, a nice room, some pool time, maybe a few slot machine moments and buffet meals.
This could be a zig zag trip that takes a very long time!!
Permanent Name in Blue, you silly goose, of course it is ok that you signed on for the trip!
butterfly will be our human GPS.
Sherry Baby is coming, so we will save all side bar thingies for her.
There is always room from Ms Manners, unless anyone else ojects.

I think Admin is off somewhere eating BBQ till she passes out; remember she asked us to behave and keep the sheeple in check till late Monday night or Tuesday morning?
HEHEHE! Wont she be so pleasantly surprised when she logs on, see that we are on our way because WE KNOW HOW TO HELP HER with those little lawyerie things.
Now I think there is something about passing the bar... Do we HAVE to pass up the bar? We can stop real quick and have a round of rumsprings here and there, cant we?
Joy In Virginia, can you put that on the tour along with the ball of twine?

If we study now, we can do it. Leonardo DiCaprio did (Frank Abagnale)...Catch Me If You Can. That's the only thing he did that was legitimate. He actually studied and passed.
Can I claim the phrase "I please the Fifth"? After imbibing too much rumspringa, I may definitely need to use it.
If by chance Kate should appear on the stand, I also want to claim the phrase "Are you aware of the penalties for perjury?"
I'll also bring extra sharpies for labelling all the evidence, such as exhibit A, B, etc.
I meant to say Jackie Chiles reference in Seinfeld trial.
I like the sound of this side bar thingy- is it a full bar, or just wine and beer and rumspringas?
We need a catchy name for lawyerie-ish team, and Dream Team has already been used. Any ideas? All legit, high profile legal teams in SoCal have catchy names :)
People magazine (9/10) has a feature on the Honey Boo Boo family.
Say what I might about the "all hanging out" farting family, here is a quote from the man in residence (Sugar Bear), "We are living off the money we were living off before. Because you never know when this awesome ride may end."
He works seven days a week laying pipeline. They are rumored to be receiving "several thousand" and episode and ratings are a "series hit".
Wonder what Kate thinks?

In all fairness, the "hater" is saying that that Kate fan has the same attitude as those who allowed Hitler to take over. I think that's a bit over the top, although it's become a common thing to say by the "haters." I might lose my cool if someone said that to me. It's all getting ridiculous.

I know F. Lee Bailey (seriously, I really do, and I'm not nuts...honest!). Should we stop by his house and ask for pointers, or better yet, drag him along? Then it really would be the Dream Team! I'm not sure if he has crocs, though, but he does have one glove! It's a little stained.
I have some John Grisham and Scott Turow on my Kindle. Will that help? But I refuse to go to court unless I can wear hooker heels and low cut tops that show off my "assets". No crocs and muumuus for me! I can sling some legal terms like "collateral estoppel" and "res adjudicata" too.
I'm bringing two of my favorite lawyers (Butch Karp and Dismas Hardy) along on my Kindle.
Tweet -- I agree the Hitler comment is horrible, but you don't retweet about being nice in tweets and then turn around and lash out. My point, too, was that this sheeple thinks that the kids have not had their childhoods compromised, which is just ridiculous --
cynthiacairns
@Allisstair @aprilwerling @kateplusmy8 - their childhood is their own. Nothing false about it. And you should respect that.
===========
This whole thing between the sheeple and the haters has just gotten so out of hand that I think in the near future, something's gotta give, whether in the form of lawsuits, arrests or harm to another person.
Ya'll can stay at Let's Throw Tomatoes...she lives in CA, lol.
You guys are hilarious!

Kate is just an aside now, used to keep the hatred on both sides alive. I see no end in sight. It's been going on for years. Perhaps it WILL end badly in time.

Oh, I totally agree. It comes up every so often and it's one of the most outrageous and downright cruel things I've read. The insults are getting worse, the name-calling out of control, and Kate is just an after-thought in this whole war.
The lies and exaggerations bother me, too, and seem to come mostly from the haters who seem to do it just to provoke the sheeple. Kate could make her Twitter private, but I think she thrives on all of this, which is really sad.
Tweet-le said: "If I had to vote on which statement were more outrageous it would be the Hitler comparison."

I just read that comment and if I'm not mistaken, the person wasn't comparing the sheeple to Hitler, but rather said that her "attitude" is what allowed the Nazis to take over Europe. The attitude was complacency, as in not believing that the kids childhood was compromised.
Heck, I just don't know anymore. It's hard to figure out exactly what they are saying.

Fidosmommy, we will get a rocking chair just like the one Granny Clampett rode in all the way to Bev-Er-Ly.. Hills, that is. And put it in the back of the stretch limo El Camino we will be driving. Can't you all picture it now, the stretchy limo part and right at the back the pick up party just right for fidosmommy and her rocking chair!
Well I think its a fun idea!
Decisions, decisions.. Will we do a northern route, a southern route, or a zig zag ety all over the place routish route? Yeah, that's the ticket!
So far we have to stop by every Harrahs, we have to stop by quirky interesting sites, we have to stop for rumspringas, I want to stop by some swimmin holes... Where else will we need to stop?
when we get to court and do lawyerishly things, I want to file for a continuance continuously.
I live in CA but I want to fly east just to join the train trip! Rumspringa, buffet dining and woot-wooting all the way :-)
The map for this trip reminds me of the I Love Lucy episode where they were going out to Cal.
in the new car. Fred wanted to see XYZ (and Lana Turner), Ricky wanted to see QRS, Ethel wanted to see ABC and Lucy wanted to see EFG.
The route looked like a wad of yarn going in every direction, and they would pass through one place at least 3 times. A hoot!
Another thing the stretch limo El Camino is good for, if we get to admins and she has not finished the heated pool for us, we can line the pickup part with a big blue tarp - it must be blue for authenticity - and fill it with water, there is our red neck swimming pool! Shhhh! Don't tell Honey Boo Boo and her momma our they will steal our idea!
Hi everyone, I have only commented a few times but I read here everyday and I would like to sign up for the road trip. Now for full disclosure, I haven't actually passed the bar exam but I have sat at a few in my day so I hope that counts. I will bring the organic box wine.
I have dibs on the lawyerish phrase "Asked and answered".
Are you guys coming to CA?? I use to live in The Bay Area but I live in LA now. If your coming to LA you got to fly ! We have enough freaking bumper to bumper to bumper traffic as is!! You guys can stay with me! You can also bring a couple of steeple with you! They're always good for a laugh!!
Last night I went gambling and I was up to $1500 ! Why , why didn't I stop! But I did bring home $1000! I'll invite everybody to dinner! There's a Fig& Olive in Hollywood!!! If it's good enough for Kate, it's good enough for us!!!
Has anyone taken "Overruled" yet? If not, it's MINE, ALL MINE! I'm good at saying it, too.
Very believable, and no one would dare say
"No never means no to me!"

I don't never remember my parents ever waxing
nostalgic over our baby pictures. We didn't have movies of our lives growing up, but we did have plenty of pictures. The only time my parents would really mention it would be if one of us got an album out of the closet and started looking through it. Then one of them would sit down and tell us about the place, the people, the activity shown in that picture.
No tears, no sniffles, no long sad looks about
not having those moments back, just talking about the pictures. \
I guess our parents were more interested in the swim meet or the school event or the scout meeting we were involved with in present time than they were about what used to be. Our parents seized each day and each year as a joy and a wonderment, never wishing tomorrow could be relived or held captive. And there were certainly no nostalgic tears over our baby years! They liked us enough NOW that they did
not have to turn the clock back to see how
sweet and wonderful things were THEN.
I will never understand weeping over home movies if nobody in them has died or moved away.
Well, I know we smile and laugh at out home videos. To hear her tell about how horrible life was with the tups when they were young pre- BBB, and the 'invasion' of volunteers, no money etc, you'd think she'd be happy they weathered the worst days and enjoy the present.
If I had to vote on which statement were more outrageous it would be
the Hitler comparison.
***********
Absolutely. Comparisons to Hitler and the Nazi's have no place in discourse unless you are discussing a particular time in history.
A good friend's parents are both survivors of the camps.
There are also new findings that Survivors, even those who managed to live successful pre and post war lives, are re-experiencing PTSD
symptoms as they retire (more time to think), age (and become more reflective) and in some cases become increasingly frail.
Making such comparisons diminishes the experiences of so many and insults many others.
That said, I agree that the twitter wars will not end well.
Can't you all picture it now, the stretchy limo part and right at the back the pick up party just right for fidosmommy and her rocking chair!

I'm from Kentucky, not Tennessee, but if you want to throw in a nice Tennessee quilt, I'll ride like a Queen in a landau! I'll go shopping for a nice hat.
Hey all y'all -- I'm in San Diego and I'll move the recliner around and everyone can camp in my good old single wide. Even have a plug-in and hose for the RV. Several casinos near by (tho Harrah's is a bit of a ride) to fill in our non-court time. Should be plenty of courtrooms available too since Gov. Moon Beam ... oops, Gov. Brown has closed at least 16 here. We can have our very own court to play in. Red crocs are allowed!
Fidosmommy, we will get a rocking chair just like the one Granny Clampett rode in all the way to Bev-Er-Ly.. Hills, that is. And put it
in the back of the stretch limo El Camino we will be driving. 52
True story (Honest! I swear!) I have a friend who went for her driver's test in a pickup truck approx 35 years ago. The person
administering the test sat in the passenger's seat, of course. The catch was that a parent had to accompany them. So, the tester set
up a lawn chair in the back of the truck, where poor Mom went along for the driving test.
I keep telling my friend we should collaborate on a book, it would outsell anything Katie Irene could ever write. ( My friend's got
STORIES). I would gladly remain the ghostwriter and let her do the publicity circuit for a 50% cut, since I'd do the writing.

Maybe we can have our "Anniversary of the last show airing" party on Sept. 12 in one of those empty courtrooms. Wasn't it actually the "court of public opinion" (i.e. ratings)that led to the cancellation? And TLC not doing any update shows could actually be interpreted as "case closed!" despite all the subsequent pleadings by both Kate and her fans.

I think what had Katie blubbering was the fact that in January of 2006, she was on the cusp of her stahdom. Hit Show! Trips! Chef service! lawn boys! housekeepers! laundry girls! Part time personal assistant when the unwashed masses dared to look at her! Nannies! People Mag covers! Estate!
In January of 2006, soon she would have it all.
Now, with everything almost gone but the house, she has 8 healthy children and she should feel blessed beyond belief for that. But of course, it's never enough. More than enough is neevvver enough.
Well, I am quite fond of the latin legal terms. I chose habeas corpus and modus operandi. I will share.

Did the Wyomissing house have a fenced-in yard? Kate said the little ones were 20 months old in the video, which would make it January of 2006. They were still in the "old" house at that time.
But if it was Easter of 2006, they would have been in Elizabethtown at that time, and I don't believe that house had a fenced-in yard, at least not one that you couldn't escape from.
aggiemom -- I am responsible for peeling that parts of the globe that have Harrah's properties near them.

Why, yes; yes you do! And to help you achieve that admirable goal, we will all gather together, hobble our retired and disabled croc wearing selves out to California and WE will manage all your pesky little lawyerishy things for you, so that you may devote yourself to this lovely montage.
Who's with me? Or am I limping out to CA by myself here, with a backpack full of rumspringa in thermoses?
*******
And bit by bit, we have all joined in on the CA road trip and assist you in doing lawyering things.
Re: the home video. Well, at least we can confirm these were never intended for public viewing. The kids are all dressed differently.
Wayward, yes, I agree. My point I guess was that my parents were able to just enjoy having kids and didn't need to "remember" a happier time. Kate is lost in her "gone are the days"
mode for just the reasons you stated. The kids were more useful to Kate in 2006 and it's now 2012. What have you done for me lately, kids?
Because mothering is all about ME.
I went back and looked at the first episode, and the one-year later episode. I remember her saying in one of those shows that when everyone else had left them (??) the ten of them would always be together and have each other.
Kate was really cute, attractive even without makeup, short, dark hair, her skin was beautiful and her neck was wrinkle-free. How could anyone age as much as she did in just six years? Can tanning alone do this?
Admin,
ROAD TRIP!
We're on our way, all of us. Maybe by train, maybe by truck. But you have to move to San Diego and build a swimming pool for us.
And we are all going to help you out in court. We've all chosen our parts according to our strengths (no snorting now, it's not polite).
Some of us will be lawyerish, and some will be court reporters and such. I've dibbied announcing the case #, and saying All Rise.
We've voted to all wear red crocs. Will that embarrass you?
I hope not, because we'll be stuck to you like white on rice and there will be no doubt we're your helpers. I guess you could say we'll all be sitting second chair.
Please get a BIG chair. Some of us ain't petite, if you get my drift. Ha!
We'll be staying with you and those of us who can cook will make all the meals. Portions will be small, as we'll have to eat over and over again per script changes.
Not to worry, Ms. Manners will accompany us. Her role is to keep us all gracious. She is, as you may already now, 'a lovely and gracious tippler' and will remain on her feet at all times. I doubt she'd even want to sit on your counter.
Apparently someone invited some steeples, so I don't know how many churches will be in attendence. If it's only the steeples, we should have enough room.
We're so grateful to you for your invitation.... you did invite us, didn't you?
Lordy, lordy, I hope someone here didn't forget her manners and invite us without your approval! What would Ms. Manners say?!
She might say, after her refined box of wine, "ROAD TRIP"!!!!
In 2012, Kate is mourning 2006. If all holds true, in 2018, she will be crying about the missed moments of 2012.
She lives in the past. She dreams of the promise of future stardom.
Today is drudgery for her. That is the way she has always thought. She loses the best of the present by choking it to death and then cries later.
And bit by bit, we have all joined in on the CA road trip and assist you in doing lawyering things.
&&&
LOL I would love your help assisting in lawyery things!
Kate is a Twit can tackle the worker's comp claim.
Fight of the Kiwi can write up objections.
Sherry Baby's in charge of billing. Marty Singer can give you tips.
Dmasy holds the gavel.
Butterfly can handle the oral arguments.
Permanent Name please make the torts.
Everyone else is assigned to grinding the wheels of justice.

Why is she in hysterics over the backs of six little children? She took photos of the video just to put them on Twitter? She really does need to get a grip, live in the real world, and see a professional. If she's a basket case now, this is not going to get any better.
Maybe she's mourning the fact that she actually looked good in 2006 and she can't undo what she's done to herself.
Formely Duped (68)... "For anyone who missed the heart-wrenching photo from the never-before-seen video: http://img.ly/mNIS "
Oh Dear Lord... I don't know if it's because I have way too much imagination considering the stimulus, but that picture freaks me out. The whooole thing... The picture per se (a bunch of anonymous babies exiting a dark house...), its surroundings, (the television screen flickering in the night, the only source of light in a darken room...). and the context (picture taken by a 37 year old woman, crying alone in her room, -or in the compagny of her 10 year old daughter-, on a Saturday night, during a long weekend).
I'm sorry, but it's creepy. Worst: it's alarming because it's not the first time she tweets about such evenings. Talk about Norma Desmond. Geeez... Almost to a "T".

Aggie said...If you are in your FENCED back yard, why would you count constantly? what are the 'littles' going to do, climb the fence??
&&&&&&&&&&
Did the Wyomissing house have a fenced-in yard? Kate said the little ones were 20 months old in the video, which would make it January of 2006. They were still in the "old" house at that time.
But if it was Easter of 2006, they would have been in Elizabethtown at that time, and I don't believe that house had a fenced-in yard, at least not one that you couldn't escape from.
---------
I didn't watch the show (just listened to what my mom and my twins told me), but thinking back to her heart-wrenching pic with all the 'littles' headed out the door, doesn't that look like a front door??
(I just assumed the back yard was fenced)
Bowing in the Wind, the " h" is not even next to the "t" so I don't know what happened for that spelling mistake, but someone made the same mistake not long ago!
Maybe I should have said " some sheeple who live in a church steeple " because they almost have to be saints to be fans of Kate! How's that??
Hey, I thought we were not going to do spelling corrections anymore? Is their a perfect speller in charge of corrections??
"Kate is a Twit can tackle the worker's comp claim"
I will gladly take on this case, as I,um, do have some experience. When my daughter was 17, she had a work related injury and I have spent many hours with work comp. lawyers and doctors. You couldn't have picked a more perfect case for me to handle.
Sherry Baby's in charge of billing. Marty Singer can give you tips.
_________________
You don't want that from me. It's the worst possible job I could have. I am not a paper person and can't keep track of billable hours! Does Singer know anything about billing? I thought he had the market cornered on cease and desist letters!
I claimed the sidebar thing. I am in charge of stocking it. I already got the Marcia Clark perm and haircut.
But, sigh, if I must do the billing, I humbly accept the challenge.
Kate is a twit exactly why I picked you.
Insubordination from Sherry Baby already? You get what task you get and you don't get upset.
I've seen purple crocs in a real courtroom, so they are allowed.
I love saying "Your honor could we have a sidebar?" It's why I went to law school.
Also one time the court reporter typed my name for me in court reporter dots. Maybe someone could type everyone's names for framing.
Hey, I thought we were not going to do spelling corrections anymore? Is their a perfect speller in charge of corrections??
____________
Do you mean "there?" Just kidding!
I don't think anyone "corrected" your spelling. I think the steeple thing was just said in jest.
I am a mastermind when it comes to maintaining silence! I will stand in the back. If anyone, and I mean ANYONE, breathes too loudly, I will hit you with a red spoon. And out you go under penalty of severeness!
If that's already taken, I can wear hooker heels, a bra-less good bra and a hat. I will park across the street in a fire lane. The paps can take pics of me making photo copies. Oh, I will also chomp gum!
If the home videos Kate was watching were similar to the ones shown on the first 2 specials, I can see why she was crying. Those videos showed a happy, loving family. Kate even seemed to enjoy her kids then. She hugged them, kissed them, and showed she loved them.
Those were indeed happier days, and because of her greed she threw it all away. She insists she has no regrets-but I be she does when she sees how she was then and what she's become, all because of she got bitten by the celebrity bug.
For someone who also proclaimed "we can't go back"-she sure seems to want to do just that by watching old videos and old episodes.
My posts are disappearing again...the pic of the 'littles', that Kate was so despondent about. She said the back yard...that looks like a front door to me. anyone else?
Two more things. We need a bailiff in case anything gets out of control. Rat claws preferred.
And we need someone in charge of announcing when we go off the record. Which we may need to do a lot.
chefsummer can find the videos you'll need for
viewing in the courtroom. She excels at that.
She knows how to make them clickable, too.

Ten lashes with a wet noodle. Who is going to see my new perm if I have to sit behind a desk somewhere on the 24th floor with Mad Dog Marty hovering over me?
Okay, okay, I'll do it, even though I have acrophobia.
Oh, I just read we're wearing crocs. I have flat feet and those shoes make it sound like my feet have gas. May I wear mine with knee socks?
I usually wear those with my business skirts.
Other post disappeared!
I volunteered to maintain silence in the courtroom. If things get out of hand (such as breathing too loudly or stomach growling), it's a slap of the red spoon and out you go!

Those of us not assigned a specific job will wear judicial looking robes and stand at the front of the court saying "The court's in session, the court's in session. Now here come da judge! Here come da judge! Here come da judge!". Jazz hands up, jazz hands down, step ball-change!

Sherry Baby-since you will be doing billing, perhaps you can also assist in preparing court cases involving financial disputes.
You can also be the expert witness in all trials regarding monetary matters. You will have the necessary documentation needed if a client tries to get out of paying their bill.

I still have dibs on "Asked and answered", I'll shout it at appropriate times while I'm tending to the wheels of justice. *sings off tune* The wheels on the justice go round and round er..*Yells* "The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine".
Kate is a Twit 70 -- Now that would be fitting. I've stayed in touch with an attorney I used to work for and he'd probably do a guest judge appearance for us, especially if we buy him a beer or two afterwards. Not sure he could stomach the subject matter and review the video evidence presented. We'd all need a lot of rumspringa to sustain ourselves! Or some good San Diego County wine or locally brewed craft beers.

I'm with you guy who in the world cries in a dark room??
Let alone with your12 year old sitting next to you that just to weird for me.
And I can cry just listing to a song on the radio or when someone else cries around me I cry.
But crying in the dark w/your 12 year just weird.
Dmasy, Valley Center is such a pretty part of the county. We have beaches, sand and surf and 30 miles away we have mountains and 30 miles after that is desert. I've been here since 1968.

Yeah! Good idea! Dancing Itos!!! (Remember those?) I could do that. In crocs, even, Count me in!!!
I hope Maddy was in bed when Kate was crying in the dark room.
I will be serving organic boxed wine and organic lemonade and cereal bars.
At the September 12th 1yr canalization party-(if we have a party),
Milo better watch out. This fairly new fan is getting Kate's attention. She's quite the a** kisser.

How's that?
We actually had a joke that we were all superheros with different powers in the courtroom. Mine was ice and when the judge was doing something adverse to me I'd just freeze them with ice and carry on. Other people had fire, invisibility, etc.
We have a good time.

The contract was a nice eye opener. I'd be willing to hear more things like that. Otherwise I'm with you. Thought there was nothing apparently illegal about that contract. They even covered the taxes.

LOL I just saw that and thought the same thing! Em Tanner take II.
I am seriously considering going to that 5K next week. I really really want to see for myself how she acts. I saw her at one of her grifting talks and want to see if she really has changed. And if the kids are there I'd love to see if they seem as happy as she claims. I would be happy to contribute to a great cause as well if there is opportunities there.

Also on another note. What the F???
You don't know if someone put out a product line of your FAMILY? You don't know if TLC put out a product line of your FAMILY? This is YOUR FAMILY, not anyone else's to make product lines out of. Except you sold them.

Another instance where someone made money off of the show without reimbursing Kate? Although I do recall at one time TLC did offer J&K+8 products like t-shirts, mugs, etc. Guess Kate didn't get a cut.
Just checked the TLC website-they no longer offer Jon&Kate+8 products, but you can get a "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" t-shirt.

Hi everyone, I have only commented a few times but I read here everyday and I would like to sign up for the road trip. Now for full disclosure, I haven't actually passed the bar exam but I have sat at a few in my day so I hope that counts. I will bring the organic box wine.

Well, I am happy to see you here!
As far as the bar exam, was that YOU on the 3rd stool from the left? HI IT'S MEE! 2nd stool from the right! How ya been!?! I declare us offically Bar-Competent!
Maybe Em Tanner had a Jon and Kate Plus 8 cup. LMAO
I saw a woman at the grocery store today and she looked just like Kate- bleached hair, hooker heels, tube dress. Everyone stared at her and there were snickers. I wonder if this happens to Kate? If so, why not go back to looking normal at least! She was quite cute back when....

Bet she is totally outraged and humilated and we never hear another word about on twitter. Or maybe, if we are lucky, this will be the shove she needs to file a suit against TLC or whoever produced and sold that mug. And wont TLC have some interesting things to spill!!

Well I think its a fun idea!
Decisions, decisions.. Will we do a northern route, a southern route, or a zig zag ety all over the place routish route? Yeah, that's the ticket!
So far we have to stop by every Harrahs, we have to stop by quirky interesting sites, we have to stop for rumspringas, I want to stop by some swimmin holes... Where else will we need to stop?

Hey, Admin, where do we get that pretty blue paper that they use on TV to staple all the 'motions' to? Can we use pink or orange in stead? Blue might cramp my style.
I also think someone should be an official "spokesperson". You know when ROL are TMZ give us a call about a case. Oh wait, that should be when WE call TMZ or ROL about a case.

The fact that she didnt know this is simply hysterical. "Entrepreneur"? "Super Woman"? She really was nothing but a high priced Diva with her head up her butt.
Kate, how in the hell did you not know this? All the time you spent and still do, on the internet reading about yourself, you never looked at THIS?
I have heavy duty red paper, that will do. I don't know where it comes from. I just whine when it's out and my assistant gets me more. She knows how to help me.
As far as Kate not getting a cut of Jon and Kate crap, much less not even knowing they make it, what an idiot. This is why you need a lawyer. To put cuts of merchandising in the contract. Of course they didn't think to negotiate that upfront and now it's way too late.
Well, even more money the children got screwed out of. How many coffee mugs and tshirts did they sell?
Good Job TLC.

Wait a minute. This doesn't make sense. Wasn't it sold on TLC's website? Kate didn't check the website? How could she NOT know those things weren't being marketed? As much of a narcissist she is, she had to know that these things were being made, didn't she?
LOL wow they have a ton of merchandising up there still!
Kate is G8T!? Really, TLC?
Know your Gosselins with all their faces on it, double really TLC????
This merchandise is not only creepy but where the hell has Kate been while this all goes on. I predict she is making an angry phone call to her lawyer tonight.
It's time for another trip down memory lane at the Gosselin house--
kateplusmy8
We organized r DVD cabinet this wkend &came across Strawberry Shortcake, The Wiggles,Big Comfy Couch! Kids insisted we watch them &relive:)
I don't know any 8 yr old who would insist on watching these DVDs. It's sounds more like Kate is the one insisting on a reliving "memories". I even doubt the kids are there-but if they are, they must be having the most boring weekend yet.
It's the last weekend of summer, and no tweets about pool, barbecuing, etc. Doesn't sound like a "fun" time. I think she's making up twittersodes now, because she's by herself and lonely.

Because she's an idiot. Because for all the time she spent trying to grift a cup of coffee she could have been making boatloads on merchandising had she simply negotiated some terms up front and wouldn't even have to beg on twitter to do it. She could put her feet up on her leather coach and watch the money roll in and not do a thing.
This is like watching a hamster on a wheel work so hard to go around and around only to not ever go anywhere when they could be sitting on their ass doing nothing and be making boatloads. Entre=pee-stupid.

They wouldn't. These family events are not credible. When she starts making up crap like that I just assume she is alone organizing her DVD cabinet ALONE.

BWAHAHAHAHA, Kate! Your case is dimissed!!!! HAHAHA!
Nah, she'll do it. She'll sue them and she'll find some Hollywood attorney to take the case. They'll both jump at it for the publicity. Mean, corporate, cheating TLC, worth bazillions of dollars, first destroys this helpless family then cheat starving children from the Tshirt and coffee mug sales, while their poor mother remains unemployed because TLC destroyed her 'career' with their 'bad editing'.
Kate might not have known about the tee shirts and mugs when it counted, but here's betting she does now. Her tweetie didn't know where the cup came from, but since Kate reads here, she knows about the TLC store now.
Thank you Sara and chefsummer. You have just taught Kate something.

I did some investigating on these mugs. I came up with this sight http://www.cafepress.com/+jon-kate+mugs. It is hysterical. It is full of merchandise that is full of anti Kate and Jon stuff.
I would like to come on the trip. I will bring the flag cake. It would be the perfect thing to bring for a trip across the U.S.A. I can use a bungie cord on the fender and tie it around me while I am riding a skateboard. Please can I come? I can be your girl Friday and do coffee runs to Starbucks for everyone.
Dwindle, your avatar is perfect! That is traveling in STYLE
So yesterday according to Kate they were watching home videos, and today they're watching DVDs if shows geared to toddlers. Kate herself said in a CC blog:
"I firmly believe in using our imaginations to create “old-fashioned” fun as opposed to using a television or gaming equipment to “babysit” my kids."
Yet, according to her they have been watching TV yesterday and today. What happened to using their imaginations and creating "fun"?
I think the only one using an imagination is Kate-and she's imagined what they've been doing this weekend.
Maybe her leather couch turned into a time warp machine, and she's been visiting the past, but she made sure to take her Iphone with her on her travels.
She (Kate) really is clueless. Kate never thinks about the ramifications. On the very first special she made a comment about "rushing" things when she was referring to going back for fertility treatments.
I bet that is exactly what she did when TLC approached about a show. Instead of taking the contract to a lawyer to review and give her and Jon advice she plopped her name on it so fast with dollar signs gleaming in her eyes.
I have always wondered why she did not cash in at the height of the show with commercials or products. I guess that contract was iron clad and exclusive to TLC.

I did some investigating on these mugs. I came up with this sight http://www.cafepress.com/+jon-kate+mugs. It is hysterical. It is full of merchandise that is full of anti Kate and Jon stuff.
I would like to come on the trip. I will bring the flag cake. It would be the perfect thing to bring for a trip across the U.S.A. I can use a bungie cord on the fender and tie it around me while I am riding a skateboard. Please can I come? I can be your girl Friday and do coffee runs to Starbucks for everyone.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
We cant go without YOUUUUU! Venti, bold, black. Thanks. Or if it is hot out, Venti Iced Caffe Mocha with an extra shot of espresso. With whip. thanks!
Looks like the mug gypsi got was sold by TLC. She tweeted a picture, and it has the "crazy life" quote on it.

Of course, now Milo is chiming in and saying how bad TLC was for making money off Kate. Of course, none of the sheeple remember that it was TLC who PAID for all those trips and experiences they had. They got all that plus were paid by TLC. But TLC is mean, mean, mean for not giving Kate a cut.

@gypsi001 @Kateplusmy8 Unfortunately Kate..I think TLC did a lot of things w/ur name or brand on it & made lots of money! Should share! :(
Admin, when you logged in, did you think for a minute we were ridiculing your profession? I'm sorry if that happened. We are coming to help you so you have more time to concentrate on US and OUR needs. You know, photoshopping and all...

---------------
Because no other companies would have her. Things were tried and failed badly.
Dwindle no not at all!
Everyone knows lawyers themselves are the best at lawyer jokes. :)
I logged on and thought, lawyer jokes? I'm there! :)
How fitting today we even have a "lawsuit" we can play with, Katie Gosselin v. TLC's KATE IS Gr8T! TSHIRTS.
Kate is a twit all this woman talks about is what she sees on TV or the DVD player.
This just makes me think when the kids are not there she veges out in front of the TV and makes up tweets about what the kids are saying or doing.
If that is the case? Yikes.
I think Jon once cited the dollar amount TLC made off the family.
The amount was outrageous. I can't remember but I want to say it was over 100 million. Way more than the Gosselins ever made.
If Kate were smart she could have gotten way more of a cut of that. It would have taken a simple trip to a lawyer and maybe 500 bucks.
"If it please the court..."
I'm just practicing. :-)
Hi everyone,
Just letting you know we survived Isaac without damage or water here in Slidell, La. (Northshore of New Orleans). I was pretty scared because I lost my house in Katrina so everytime something like this happens it makes me a little nervous.
Sorry I did not get back to you sooner but I was off for the storm but had to go in Thurs night-Sat night to let the nurses that stayed with the patints go home to their families. Sleeping on a hospital mattress that is on the floor is a little hard but it comes with the profession. Sometimes we have to do things we don't enjoy but we all made it out. Now I'm back home and ready for Labor Day. Hope you all have a great holiday.
Sorry, Dwindle. The Judge gets to bang the gavel. As baliff you get to intimidate those who don't do what the judge says ... like cuffing the defendant when found guilty of imitating a mother of 8, count them, 8 innocent children. I hope that works for you.
"I present exhibit 3974zx."
Just practicing. Dont mind me.
Because she's an idiot
------------------------
But she's an entrepreneur, don't you know? Milo is as much an idiot as Kate is, if she's defending her. Two peas in a pod, They belong together. It was Kate's responsibility to know what merchandise was being sold and how much of a cut she was getting from it. How stupid can you be? You look on the dang website!
"That's heresay!!"
Still practicing. Move along.
Enjoying catching up on today's posts. I LOVE a good road trip, so sign me up too.
fidosmommy,
I'm from NC, but we now live in Tennesse courtesy of the Air Force, so I'll grab you one of those beautiful Tennessee quilts to keep away the drafts.
I'm a fairly quiet person, so can I be in charge of snacks? I'll pack some Carolina moon pies and some Tennessee barbeque. And of course I'll pack lots of grapes and crackers too!
"Motion Denied". "Motion is granted."
I am practicing to see which one I like best. Dont mind me over here.
"The court hereby awards Dwindle 180 Bazillion Dollars..."
Nope, no practice needed on THIS one, I got it down pat.
It was Kate's responsibility to know what merchandise was being sold and how much of a cut she was getting from it.

End of story. Her family, her responsibility to know what appears on what crappy mugs and tshirts. Just when she cant get stupider.

Sorry Milo but I think the "brand" belongs to TLC and not to Kate. Remember that she had to name her web site KateplusMY8. Their eyes were so clouded with $$$ signs that they didn't get an attorney to look over the iron clad contract that they signed. CASE DISMISSED!!
Audible Chick, are you in the New Orleans area or Gulf Coast?

God Bless you, grandee. Glad you are well, and hope your loved ones are ok too.
We're planning a road trip. We are going to Calif in the Beverly Hillbillies car (or by el camino, or by choochoo, not sure yet) to help Admin do her little (flap hand here) lawyerishy things. That way she'll have more free time to do photoshopping or another captioned video for us. So catch up on the comments if you get a chance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think she was on her way to cashing in on side deals (Healthtex, cookbook, Paula Deen show) but the divorce ground all that to a halt.
She was greatly mistaken to think that advertisers would want just her and think she was all that & a bag organic, fat-free chips. She and Jon were the draw. The draw was watching Kate henpeck this poor man and how would he deal with it this week? Add the Christianity with the cute kids and there you had it.
After seeing the Lane contract, I wonder how many deals she could have had, but possibly her outrageous demand$ killed them.
You're right, she is clueless and she never thinks any further past her next tweet. Together, she & Jon could have amassed a fortune. Even if he didn't want to be in the limelight as much, being MARRIED was her bread and butter. Not being a hypocritical tabloid magnet who couldn't keep her hundreds of lies and contradictions straight. She killed "the brand." She lets her obsessive need for control rule her life and to that I say "how's that workin' for ya, Kreider??!!!!!"
I want to come to CA, is there anyone who is going to yell "yer in comtempt." Cause I kind of deal with comtempt every day, I'm pretty good at it! Also, I want to yell at least once "U R Blocked!" Just for shits & giggles!
I will get some red crocs and also some of those calcutta cloth culottes the "sheriff" over at GWOP accused us of wearing a few years back. Are we going to do the white tube socks too or leave them for another day? ;)

sorry Milo but I think that TLC owns the "brand" which is why Kate had to name her web site kateplusMY8. Their eyes were so clouded by $$$$$$$$ signs that they signed that iron clad contract on the dotted line without having a lawyer look it over first. CASE DASMISSED! (I'm practicing too Dwindle)
Awwwww...(Kate speak) thanks for the invite Dwindle! You are so nice! Hats actually look pretty good on me...but I will have to practice a "screech voice" like Kate and make sure I say"git" without the "e". As far as "mug-shot-on-A-mug-gate" goes...I think Kate has the camera and is screaming at the kids to "pose dammit..hurry! We can sell these pictures on mugs and tshirts for a "where are they and what do they look like now" line of gosselin wear and accessories.
Dwindle-here are a few other phrases you might want to practice.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StockLegalPhrases
Years ago, when I worked in a bowling alley I tended bar(for about 15 minutes). I only served beer and a few mixed drinks. Also, when the State Liquor Authority did it's annual inspection, I was the one who provided the info they asked for and showed them the liquor license. Would I be considered to have passed the bar exam?
On the one hand I kind of get the thing about TLC taking advantage of her.
On the other, anyone with half a brain should know that most if not all successful shows have web sites where you can at least get a tshirt. If you sign up for a show, you need to think about who gets a cut of those tshirts.
I do think TLC should insist on lawyers when layman sign contracts, but beyond that it's not their problem if someone negotiates a contract that benefits TLC. It's not like they pulled a fast one and are selling locks of Kate's hair without telling her. Mugs and tshirts couldn't be any more standard protocol for a TV show.

In 2012, Kate is mourning 2006. If all holds true, in 2018, she will be crying about the missed moments of 2012.
She lives in the past. She dreams of the promise of future stardom.
Today is drudgery for her. That is the way she has always thought. She loses the best of the present by choking it to death and then cries later.
::::::
Spot on, Dmasy. Excellent post. And what is most disturbing, if her tweets are true, is she's dragging the kids back into the past as well. She tweets positive platitudes about the future and her lofty goals, yet makes it sound as though she and the kids live in the dark watching and lamenting what was and will never be again.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember The Sheriff!!!! It was the beginning of August when she posted that 'Starting the first of September, there's a new sheriff in town." I laughed so hard and figured she had to wait till school started to put on her little tin badge!!! I dont thing she was ever heard from again, was she?
Yeah, the culottes, the men's sweatsocks with the stripes on top, the crocs.... What a funny memory! Thanks!
I just find it very difficult to believe that Kate didn't know that those things were being sold on the TLC website. If she really didn't know, she truly is an idiot. Contract or no contract, regardless if TLC owned the brand. She said she didn't know there was a product line. Hard to believe.

TLC Suits: "We are willing to offer you a portion of the sales of Jon & Kate merchandise we are planning to sell on the TLC website.
Kate: (hands flapping and waving) "Ummm, honestly, can't I uhhh get something, ummmmm, instead of a portion thingy?"
TLC Suits: (looking at each other and winking) "Yes, Kate what were you thinking of?"
Ummmmmm.... new carpet, new blinds, a big piano, ummmmmm a side of organic beef, uhhhhh......"
Jon: "Kate, I really think we'd make out better in the long run if we took a cut of the sales, that way we can continue to make money for a few years, rather than just a one time thing.
Kate: "Shut up Jon. Did I, ummmmmm say you could speak?"
TLC Suits" "Yeah, shut up Jon."
Kate: "Ummmmmmm.... No lie! I will take the new carpet and new blinds."
TLC Suits: "Ok, Kate sign here. By accepting the new blinds and carpet, you are forfeiting any future proceeds from the sales of Jon & Kate merchandise."
Jon: Wait!!!
Kate and TLC suits: "Shut UP JON"
Kate: "Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"
Jon: "I'm going to Legends."
Kate wrote a blog for TLC's website. So she knew there was a website for the show Kate plus 8. Did she ever look at the Jon&Kate plus 8 site? How she could not know that they offered items for sale?
I would love to be held in contmpt.
I remember the Sheriff! She/he was going to be the new Kate spokes pernon (sic) and gather credit card information, employment history, hire detectives and throw everyone in jail. Kate's kids could not stand bloggers at GWOP and the boys wanted to whup some a$$ (or something like that).
Sheriff rode into the sunset, never heard from again. August came and went, and sheriff disappeared with the tumbling tumbleweed.

Oh Kokomo, that made me laugh! When one thinks about whether what Kate is saying is true or some kind of twitter fantasy it boggles the mind and seems almost book-worthy on several different levels.
No promises. I keep thinking she's bored me silly, and then she dives deeper into her own "brand" of crazy.

grandee4 - So glad you made it through the storms ok. God bless you and your family.
Dwindle - how could I forget the cheese cubes???
I'm going to end up hanging on to the hood ornament for that one! Will some organic Popchips make up for my horrendously horrendous error?? I'll see if I can grift us a case to bring along.
Oh heavens no, Dwindle. Use the bigguest ass ugly handcuffs you can find.
Now maybe we can have a lovely chorus to call out all the lovely legal phrases you and others have come up with. Admin. would probably have to lead us so we say the right one. We certainly don't want to sing out, "I object, Your Honor," when it's our side that is making its premier and caes-winning point.
May I come, too? But, Admin, I want to make the torts!
I make lovely apple torts with a drizzled cina-min-a-mum icing.

Thanks for letting me come Dwindle:) I will be right on the ball with your order. Can't wait to go. I will be riding that skateboard hanging on the back of what ever vehicle we take. You will see me with my big straw hat and large goggles to keep the bugs out of my special eyes. My scarf will be blowing in the breeze behind me with my floral muumuu and lovely red crocs with my knee socks. I will makes sure to put some zinc on my nose to avoid a sunburn. Don't worry I won't let you down.
