The dog rescuer and pit bull expert seen on Animal Planet says Kate's negative retweets about the breed are 'nonsense' and the oft-vilified dogs are 'very loving, very protective and gentle around children.'

Yesterday, Animal Planet star Tia Maria Torres spoke out in support of the breed, pointing to the nanny dog's good nature with children, and saying she would send Kate some educational DVDs on the dogs. Torres said aggressive and ignorant owners are responsible for attacks. Meanwhile, Animal Planet's web site has called the breed eager to please, faithful, enthusiastic friends and pleasant with children.
"Kate should know better than anyone what it's like to be vilified, what it’s like for people to say untruths about you," Torres said. "I would also like to know if Kate has had any personal experiences with pit bulls that she believes she is the authority on their behavior." Oh, snap!

Famous pit bull owners who also have children in the home include Michael J. Fox (who even gave voice to a pit bull determined to make it home to his family in the classic 1993 family film Homeward Bound), Jamie Foxx, and Alicia Silverstone, whose son Bear is 18 months old. Helen Keller also owned a pit bull.
Suggestion for Kate: Next time you have an issue with someone who is around your children, pick up the phone and call them and discuss it like grown adults. Leave Twitter and your fans out of it.

«Oldest ‹Older 1601 – 1734 of 1734 Newer› Newest»The book (Small Sacrifices) is better than the movie. It is a page turner. Ann Rule really got inside that woman's head. I used to be an avid true crime reader and had quite a collection but I lost track of my books over the years.
20/20 on TLC is showing her biological daughter that she was pregnant with during her trial. She is a beautiful girl and appears to have a beautiful soul as well. She became so frightened of the letters she received from Diane when she decided to contact her that she broke off communication.
On a lighter note here's a trick to getting getting the cranberry sauce out of the can which I am sure everyone already knows but just in case I will share. You open the top of the can, remove the lid and turn it upside down on the plate. Then you open the other end and give it a little push with the lid intact and it will slide out perfectly, basically removing the can from the sauce. I learned that a little late after having a mauled a few cans trying to get it out in one piece like my mother. Works best when chilled.
CNN Profiles: The psychopath detector
http://cnnradio.cnn.com/2012/11/09/cnn-profiles-the-psychopath-detector/?hpt=hp_c2
Are you or is someone you know a psychopath?
You may not know for sure until you listen to this week’s CNN Profile of Oxford University research psychologist Kevin Dutton.
Dutton is author of the new book “The Wisdom of Psychopaths.”
As he explains in this interview, not all psychopaths are violent. In fact, there are many highly functioning psychopaths. One may even be your boss. And you can’t judge if a person is a psychopath by simply looking at him, or even from a brief conversation.
Dutton maintains that many people have great success in highly skilled fields not in spite of but BECAUSE of certain psychopathic traits, including a British neurosurgeon he interviewed.
Dutton may have been destined to study psychopaths. His father was one. Not a violent psychopath. A charming one, as so many are. Wait until you hear Dutton describe how his father once conned a restaurant full of patrons.
After you listen to our interview with Professor Dutton – you can spend some time on a psychopathy questionnaire - a "quiz" short version or a sign in for a longer one. Neither will provide a diagnosis. But your psychopathy radar will be better than ever.... [more at the link]
Admin-thank you for posting the link to the 20/20 clip about Diane Downs. I had seen the movie "Small Sacrifices" with Farrah Fawcett, but never saw any of the interviews with Diane Downs. The video really showed what a monster she is. I am glad that her daughter(the last one born) is doing well now and it seems like her other 2 children are also. How do you ever get over the fact that your mother tried to kill you?
A friend of my sent me this link to a picture that Kate probably has hung on her fridge, or has on her Iphone. It could be her new "mantra".
http://www.monkeyfrolic.com/2012/11/sheep-must-be-kept-on-a-leash/
I especially like the caption which reads "Don’t want them charging at someone and unleashing their viscous wool attack."

That's funny! It would make a great Twitter avatar!
Pity Party - have you noticed Ocean Spray made the can smaller and changed the bottom? You can't use a can opener on the bottom anymore. What a world what a world :)
So Liz had closed her Twitter account. Good. If Kate would only do so, then the kids could catch a break.
Thank you, Liz, for standing up to Kate and calling her out on her lies.
Good morning, all. Feeling so much better this AM. Hope it lasts!
Grandee #190, what a sweet post. How very kind of you to volunteer to work on the holidays so others could be home with their children. God bless you.
LBelle, sorry to hear you're having the same issue I had. I hope today is a better day for you too, hon. I hope you can feel the warm hugs I am sending your way.
TLC stinks--I doubt Kate would ever close her twitter account. She needs to see all the love and adoration that her enablers give her. She also needs the world to see it too. If she closed her twitter, would anyone even remember that she has 8, count em,8 kids?
HISTORY CHANNEL is airing documentaries on the Vietnam War today.

Thank you, Kate is a Twit. Today will be a busy day for me! I have to catch up on things around the house that I didn't do yesterday, mainly laundry.
Good morning ladies!

Grandee....193:
Thanks, love! I do hope for some improvement today....I'm SO done in right now.
You're in New Orleans! How cool! I have every intention of visiting one day....French Quarter looks so lovely....so much character! Hurricane stuff you've had to deal with is beyond sad, though. Are you still having to deal with the Katrina devastation or is it recurring hurricanes? I can't even imagine how much you guys have had to endure.
My place....yes, it is a nice area...except on those special days when the stench from the cow farms wafts over us! Blech!
Jennifer.....194:
Thanks for the YouTube link. Will have to check that out some time today. After I left here last night, I took my iPad to bed and started watching Small Sacrifices so I'm kind of in a Diane Downs research mode again. I have Ann Rules book but it's been a few years since I have looked up anything about DD.
You're right....her and Kreider are like 2 peas in a pod. Tragic stuff all around. : (
Dmasy.....aww...too bad I missed you guys...would have loved to chat when I can't sleep for the life of me!
Add us to the list of having a special crystal cranberry bowl...all elegant and gorgeous......until we slop the contents of the jelly cranberry in it...lines from the can and all!! Hahahahaha!
Koopdeedoop.....195:
I wish I could cook but, sadly, I'm just like your one Grandma...useless in the kitchen. As for your MIL....just show up with your rolls and pies!! Who wouldn't enjoy freshly baked goodies to add to a meal!!! Yummy!

Know it's not really them because it would be called Kate and Liz. She would always have top billing.
Regarding getting cranberry sauce out of the can: After removing the top, turn over and use an old fashioned beer can opener. Put a few holes in the bottom and the sauce slides right out. It just needs air to move out.
I watched the 20/20 clip about Diane Downs' daughter Rebecca. I had read the book and seen the TV movie with Farrah Fawcett. I thought of Kate right away, not that she has murdered anyone! But the forensic psychologist's words were ringing in my ears "no remorse,' "no empathy" and how the children were for their love of her, not vice versa. Amazing how her daughter, this young woman, has turned her life around after a brief downward spiral after hearing who her bio mother was. If Kate follows the pattern described, one can expect her & those like her, to become more ill, and less sane.
I have a beautiful cut glass dish that was my grandmother's.....she and I always served the canned cranberry sauce in it. So fun. Always sparkly and red.
I would love a thread about the Downs' case!
I have to admit I was disappointed people did not comment more about Pits Bulls and Parolees but I don't think many people watch it. (Give it a try and you'll be hooked on the show and how wonderful this family is , and the amazing work they do for the dogs and the young men) Tia is very genuine,likeable, and such a cut above Kendra, Kate and the likes, despite her outward 'tough' exterior- she's not afraid to cry for a dog in peril though.
I took the psychopath quiz and scored "below average" lol well I guess that's good?
Here are some of the things that have practically been retweets from Kate:
If something better (Kendra) comes along it's OK to cancel a longstanding appointment (Coupon Cabin).
Seeing an animal injured or in pain doesn't bother me in the slightest. (How cute, Shoka ate a whole animal!)
It doesn't matter if I have to step on other people to get what I want.
I'm very persuasive. I have a talent for getting other people to do what I want.
If you're able to con someone, that's their problem. They deserve it.
Rules are meant to be broken.

Hey LBelle - socks!!!
Thank you to all military - past and current - I will remember.
I would like to wish all the veterans on our blog a Happy Veteran's Day! Thank you for all you have done and are doing for our country.
A Blessed Veteran's Day to all who serve us so unselfishly. Thank you.
admin: I'm 0/33, what a relief!lol
I also took the test as "Kate" remembering things from Twitter or the show , or in RH's book( like when she wanted to drive the racing car fast, the church cons, grifting, the disposable friends, Shoka, etc) and the results were quite different...
To whoever was talking about personal plumbing issues...quite the struggle, isn't it.
You think Quilted Northern would be willing to give us a discount on a pallet of tp?
I loaded Kevin Dutton's Psychopath book onto my Kindle. I hope I flunk the test! If I pass with flying colors, I just might not mention it to anyone.
FD I said yes to I find it easy to keep myself together in situations when others are cracking under pressure. Yikes I hope that in and of itself doesn't make me a psychopath. :)
My brother just called with some interesting news. We live in MN...land of tornadoes. In May/June.
Well, he just got hit by one last night. All of his 200 year old oak trees are down, all of his millions of leaves that were in the yard (he hadn't gotten time to rake them yet) are whooshed up and gone away someplace. Luckily there was no damage to his house, only the garage, fences, and assorted stuff in the yard.
Several houses are destroyed. The neighbor had gotten up to check her computer to see what all the wind was about, and the tornado came and destroyed the house, sending the bedroom down 2 floors into the basement, with stuff on top of it. She would have been killed if she hadn't gotten up.
Trees and telephone poles are down all over, including the main road. In the dark, a driver wouldn't see that there was something in the road until too late. So my brother went out there and directed traffic until 3 am, when the highway patrol took over.
He couldn't catch everyone, so some people did run over branches. He said it was nice to see that people turned around and came back to see what the heck they'd hit. Nice to see responsible people in the world! (We'd had an incident this year where someone local hit a person and killed them and just kept on driving home. Hid their car in the garage, and refused to come forward when it became apparent that they'd actually hit a person.)
Guess I know what I'll be doing today! My other brothers, their families, me and my family are all going up there to see what we can do to help. My brother thought we'd be needed to help sort thru the damage, looking for personal belongings. He said to bring tarps, hammers/nails, the generator.
And to dress warmly, cuz it's gonna snow!
No. I put that too! I think it's a good quality.
Btw - also have cut glass dish for cranberry out of the can - just started to make it from 'scratch, (thanks Kate) and what a difference - dh loves it on everything from pork chops to ice cream
Nasty tummy flu going around - yuck
OT - have had dh in emergency 3 times in last 2 weeks - panic attacks, etc - lucky small town - same Dr and now doing tests to see if physical cause (tumour, diabetes???) So just to let the folks suffering - you are not alone. There is a difference between being helpless and getting help - now have support from many agencies and makes it easier - of course doesn't help with sleepless night dealing with 'the I'm scared but the 'darkest hour is just before dawn' - heard that somewhere lol
Speaking of plumbing issues personal and homewise, is there a brand of tp that is soft and disolves faster in the pipes to not cause blockages in the pipes?
Observation: The cheaper the tp, the more glue they use at the beginning of each roll. Just love wrestling with a new roll of tp when I'm in a hurry.
Toronto Star columnist's take on the Kate/Pit-bull issue :)
...Kate Gosselin is upset that her ex-husband let their oldest son play with a pit bull. "What if something horrible were to happen," she asked, "and there were no cameras around?"
Ouch!

Mel-how horrible! Glad to hear all your family members are safe.
All this talk about Diane Downs has renewed my interest in her case. I just ordered Ann Rule's book and am looking forward to reading it.
mel...glad to hear your family members are safe.

What a coincidence Kate! As you sit there alone and unemployed in your heavily mortgaged mansion, you have shown ME exactly who I don't want to be.
I am looking forward to spending the holidays with my wonderful family and the people related to my Hubby (lol).
I love having a houseful of my kids friends and girlfriends.
I love having friends just because we enjoy each other's company, not because I pay them to like me.
As you are circling the drain in the desperate and low-class last gasp of your career (LOL!) please try to get some help. You are facing a houseful of teenagers soon and you are not mentally fit to handle it.
And on a more serious note, thank you, thank you, thank you to veterans for your service and to active military as well. We owe you a debt of gratitude.

Yes. Not to mention, when EVERYONE around you is being difficult, I have a suggestion. Maybe the difficult person is....YOU!!!!!
"All those difficult people"?? Geez I only have one or two difficult people in my life and they're not that bad at all and certainly don't consume so much of my thoughts that I feel the need to retweet platitudes about how they've taught me how not to be. It really doesn't phase me, there are a few bad apples in every bushel. But when everyone around you is being difficult, look at yourself.
Hmm maybe I should do a Taking Chance thread instead in honor of veterans day.

Anyone remember when Kate first got on Twitter, every time she got a tweet she didnt like she would say "@twitter, please take care of this" Like she was still talking to TLC and giving diva orders? it was hysterical and she kept it up for weeks, demanding that Twitter monitor her tweets and protect her from herself.
On this Veteran's Day, I salute all veterans, past and present, and thank them for their service.
I've never cared for the cranberry sauce from the can but do make my own. I follow the recipe on the Ocean Spray bag but always add some Limoncello or Triple Sec (any citrus liquor will do). It is my secret ingredient and for some reason people always ask me to make this for holiday functions. They're never able to figure out what I do differently to make mine better. I just smile and sip my cosmo!
I too have a special cut glass dish just for the canned cranberry sauce. In recent years I have also been buying the Whole Berry stuff in the can. Sometimes I buy that in the summer too, a spoonful of the whole berry on top of plain nonfat yogurt is really good!
uh-oh. I scored 8/33.
Cuff me now before it's too late.
Mel, what an awful thing to happen. So glad your brother and his family are okay and didn't lose their home. I will be praying for the people in that area.
Lilly, wishing the best for you husband. Hope the doctor can find out what is causing this. Please keep us updated.
I also want to say a very heartfelt thank you to all of our veterans and their families. God bless you all for your unselfish service to our country.
I haven't been around in a few days and haven't read all the comments but I have to chime in on cranberry sauce. Cranberries are a huge business around here but no one, and I mean no one, I know makes or even likes homemade cranberry sauce. We all prefer Ocean Spray canned sauce. Open up both ends and wiggle it out onto a gorgeous serving dish and slice accordingly. But the best part about TG is using the leftover turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce in a sandwich. Yum!
With regard to Colorado State University...I find it interesting that a college student would be on this website in the middle of a Saturday afternoon. And she says we have nothing better to do. Sounds like she/he has nothing better to do.

I don't remember having any time for web surfing in college. It was classes, studying, activities, internships, gym, friends. It was a fun time but a busy time. I practically had to dust off the old laptop when a paper was due. Most campuses have plenty of activities to get involved with and as an added bonus they are resume boosters for grad school or employment. Young lady, there will be plenty of time to screw around on the web when you get to be as old as us! :)
aggiemom...It will be interesting to see how far 'Bama will fall in the polls but it will be more interesting to see how far the Aggie's rise. The sportscasters didn't think they would rise that far but I don't see how they couldn't considering they knocked off the #1 team. We'll see.
I always have a bag of cranberries in the freezer (they freeze great!) for making my much loved cranberry mayo for leftover turkey sandwiches. Easy as pie, boil up the cranberries with a little water and a little sugar, stir until they pop and turn into jam, takes about 10 minutes. Then let cool and mix one part cranberry with one part mayo. YUM.
Also sometimes I will pop some in the microwave, let cool and add it to water. It gives it a great natural flavor and is good for your bladder too.
I also adore dried cranberries on salad. Always have a container of those in the pantry too.
Winsomeone...54 I agree with you on the Aggie quarterback. He is incredible. Barring injuries, three more years of him is going to be fun to watch.

Thank you to all of our sons and daughters who have ever served. Thanks also to their families, the Moms and Dads and husbands and wives and children.
We appreciate you all.
The enablers are still warring with the "haters", while waiting for their Queen to make her royal entrance. They're arguing about Liz, Jon, pit bulls, and each other. I'm sure Kate will appreciate this tweet from her "sweet little 18 year old" fan:

Nice language, Paige. Maybe you should stop hanging out with those "difficult people".

I love those things. I chop them up and put them in the stuffing (dressing?) whatever it's called. I like just a little something sweet in there. If I don't have craisins I'll put about a half a tablespoon of brown sugar in it.

It makes sense she'd retweet that. Those "difficult" people were the ones who tried to help her understand there was something horribly wrong with her behavior, the ones who begged her to stop exploiting her kids. They were the people who tried to get her to seek help and medication.
If she would have listened she probably wouldn't have beat her kids, abused her husband and booted everyone to the curb who tried to help her. She wouldn't be the raging narcissist she is today.
No wonder she likes that quote.
Given that Kate has a dog just as dangerous as a pit bull and no one has objected to that they are completely wrong.
Another item to add to Kate's legacy:
xxxxxx
Just spent two hours in a cash and carry. @Kateplusmy8 should be proud of my thriftiness! 48 loo rolls for 24p each!!
Okay, just a bit of useless Thanksgiving knowledge that I just found out LAST YEAR (embarassed to admit that).
I finally found out what the difference is between stuffing and dressing. It's called stuffing if it's cooked inside the bird; it's called dressing if it's cooked outside of the bird in a casserole dish.
Oh how my mind works when I'm not feeling well!
I was looking at some of Kate's tweets from last year that Preesi has on her site. Kate tweeted in June of last year to Milo:
@Kateplusmy8 Kate Gosselin
@MiloandJack omg he is precious!A dog is a families best friend.kids STILL thnk me everyday 4 Shoka...he's1 of us,why r they thnking me,lol!
So last year, before Liz and her dog entered the picture, Kate considered a dog as a family's best friend. Now, I guess it applies only if it's HER family and HER dog.
The coaching staff was really good, but your red shirted freshman quarterback is something else again. Can you imagine what he will be like in another year or two?
--------
He is going to be great!! lol
They did a little piece on him yesterday, the kid had a life-long dream of playing for Texas, but they weren't interested, so he signed with Oregon..but decided he wanted to stay in Texas, so instead signed with TAMU.
I bet Mack Brown is regretting that decision!
Coach Sumlin had a winning team last yr at U of H before going to TAMU, and he brought along Kliff Kingsbury, the offensive coordinator. Kingsbury was a QB at my alma mater, TTU (who won yesterday too!)
Can you tell we are a big football family??
lol
I don't read Kate's twitter, but has she acknowledged Veteran's Day yet? (and not a 're-tweet').
She didn't tweet about Memorial Day or Election Day.
What a world what a world.
Kate SUCKS.
Oh well, the freedom our military fights for gives her the right to SUCK. I hope she can appreciate THAT.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

It's SO obvious she is jealous of the kids' happiness with another woman I can practically smell it.
And give credit where credit is do. Kate didn't get them Shoka. TLC did. And Jon was there, too, by the way.

Probably another command performance for the hired help. Show up, Shut up, do chores, eat and get out. CACKLECACKLECACKLE!!!!!!!!!
One thing is for sure, she has a pen and paper with her to write down all the recipes and ideas from this blog so she can call them "her traditions", and so she can 'organize', 'mastermind', and 'instruct' Katherine accordingly.
So will she treat her 6 fans to a blog post about another 15 pounds of homemade potato salad and then we find out her kids werent even there,AGAIN, and she spends another holiday organizing her bathroom? Why did she have Katherine make all that potato salad again?

To be fair, she DID tweet about Memorial Day, but not about the reason why we celebrate it. She tweeted about her good "friends" the Smiths who paid an "impromtu" visit, and not only fixed her garage door, but also made pizza!!

Thanks, I love that poem, and it's very moving. It's why we wear poppies. In Canada, Remembrance Day is also today, and celebrates the living and dead of war iirc? Here on Veterans' day, it's the dead of war, is that correct?

************************
You say this directly after saying that they should have a "nice full schedule of things to do all weekend like normal kids." Not all "normal" kids have a full schedule of activities because not all "normal" parents believe that children's every moment should be structured.

@MiloandJack omg he is precious!A dog is a families best friend.kids STILL thnk me everyday 4 Shoka...he's1 of us,why r they thnking me,lol!

Why are they still thanking you? They have learned that if they don't praise every breath you take...every move you make...every step you take there will be hell to pay. Many of the lyrics to this song fit Kate....
Every bond you break
Every game you play
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Your kids are watching you and they will someday be thankful because you are showing them exactly who they do not want to be.
DWINDLE STALKER GO AWAY
Formerly Duped, I have always been under the impression that Veterans Day was to celebrate all veterans, mainly the living. IIRC, we were taught in school that Memorial Day was for those that had died in war. For me personally, I choose to honor both the living and the dead on both holidays.
How about some unstructured time that doesn't involve Kate or their other siblings, Normal?
Martha Stewart's daughter said on Halloween(s) when she was a child, they would sit in a dark undecorated house because her Mom had been so busy decorating and the cooking for the world, she never got around to even getting candy to give out.
Kate will share her preparations for Thanksgiving for all who will read her tweets. Problem is everything will be in her virtual world. Virtul turkey, virtual veggies, virtual desserts, virtual guests. So sad. Sure hope I'm wrong.
SONYA S SWEET POTATO CORNBREAD
FROM CHEF SONYA BROWN, THE SEA SHACK, HILTON HEAD, SOUTH CAROLINA
peel and dice one pound sweet potatoes (usually one large sweet potato), cover with water in put and add one and one half cups sugar, boil until sweet potato is tender (about 20 min). Remove potatoes from water, continue to let the water boil until thick, save syrup for the bread. ( don't let it burn like I did)
Mix in bowl: 2 cups fine cornmeal, 2 cups all purpose flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 1/2 tablespoon jerk seasoning, 1/2 tablespoon nutmeg, 2 tablespoons baking powder.
Add to dry ingredients: 1/2 cup applesauce and enough water for a pancake batter consistency, then add sweet potatoes.
Put in greased pan and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for about 90 minutes. Pour syrup over warm cornbread then serve.
This is very yummy, almost tastes like gingerbread, and it is a terrific dessert warm and with cool whip on top!
They just give the recipe away at the Sea Shack, they told me people ask for it all the time, and they are happy to oblige.
Normal, my daughter had extra curricular activities that she chose to participate in. However, we limit the amount of these activities that she could be involved with at one time. With these activities, school, homework, and chores, we wanted to just have time to herself. To get together with friends, etc.
We felt is was important for her to have free time to be with friends to go shopping, walk up to Burger King for lunch, or just hang out together and talk. I understand where Admin is coming from. The G kids need more time away from home, away from Kate, and to spend time with kids other than their siblings.
Kate keeps them so isolated it's sad.
Something else that is good to put in dressing that is a little sweet is sweet potatoes cut in small pieces. I love them in my dressing. If don't put them in the dressing while it is cooking, I will cut some canned sweet potatoes up to put in at least minute.
When we get the recipes up, I am going to post my mothers's candied sweet potatoes. Great with ham, turkey, pork chops, chicken, etc. Delicious. I called my sister to go over with me again how our mother did it. She was a black cast iron skillet salt and pepper cook but oh so good and really simple. I have a large skillet but am always on the look out at yard sales (best when old), especially for a dutch oven.
In Canada we had Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, who sexually assaulted and murdered 3 teenagers, one of whom was Karla's sister, whom she was giving to Paul as a present.
When arrested, Karla played the victim role, blamed it all on Bernardo, was the innocent dupe of a sexual deviate. She was given a reduced sentence and is now free, married, with children.
Later evidence showed that she had fooled everybody; that she was an instigator and enthusiastic participant in the crimes.By then it was too late to retry her, Bernardo got life, essentially without parole.
Videos of Karla are eerily like those of Kate before the kids were born, the same immature little girl-cheerleader persona (Wheeee!)Later pics of Karla also appear eerily like Kate in expression: no remorse,apparent contempt for others, dead eyes.
She was able to fool the police and the judiciary, and do a deal which meant she didn't have to face a jury to account for her behaviour.
Right, I'm not saying kids should be running around like crazy, in fact I specifically said overscheduling isn't good lol. I'm saying it is bizarre that they are not filling their time with school, friends, out and about and the like to constantly, near every weekend per her tweets, be playing just with each other, be preoccupied with Kate and things like her books, be doing constant movie nights just with her.
Whether you call time with school, extended family and friends and the like as scheduled time or just "free" time, I think we're talking about the same thing--the point being the amount of time Kate claims they spend locked in the house like Flowers in the Attic preoccupied with her and their siblings is not normal.
A big part of me doesn't even believe that they are all there half the time Kate says they are, so this could be a moot point. Hey Kate, if one or two are at a friends or at Jon's, it's okay not to pretend they are home. It really is.
REQUEST FOR ADMIN - I know this would be awkward and probably difficult and I haven't really earned the right to ask, but it's worth a shot.
Is there any way the food/holiday posts could be kept mostly to one thread and the KG/other OT topics to another? I try to scroll over what I don't want to read, but it's tricky, and I do get caught up in what people are saying. The holidays make me EXTREMELY UNHAPPY - no family, unavailable friends, and I'm not in a position to do anything useful for anyone else. And I haven't had anything resembling REAL food since I've been in the hellhole (5 1/2 months). And no cats - they don't even bring in therapy dogs. :-( I'd love to feel happy for you guys, and I really do, but it's just really hard to be bombarded. Not here, you guys don't bombard, but the TV, and every time you make a phone call and get put on hold, and it's only going to get worse. So if there's any way of doing this without inconveniencing anyone, I'd appreciate it. I'm doing enough crying as it is.
Mel, glad you brother is ok. Also everyone who has been stick, hope you are feeling better.
Admin, a thread about Taking Chance would be good. Also a special holiday food and entertaining thread would be great!
@Admin - OT, but "Taking Chance" is such a fantastic movie!!! As a military family, it makes me cry every time at the end, but it's so beautifully made.
Amy thanks for the feedback--I'm not sure what to do about that. I do have separate recipe and gardening threads but no one seems to go in there.
The problem is I think having more than one thread it's less likely people will bother to check both, it's more "work." Also I hesitate to "separate" the group if that makes sense. I'd rather we all be in this together. Let me think about it maybe there is a creative solution.

I look forward to it. I love candied yams or sweet potatoes. I know a lot of these recipes can be readily found on the internet but they seem so much better coming from people who have made them in the tried and true method and handed down from generation to generation.
And speaking of dutch ovens, I've always wanted, but have never gotten around to getting, a 7 quart cuisinart dutch oven.
Wait a minute...
It's always been a 'dream' of mine to have a @7qtCuisinartDutchOven.
Think that'll do it?
amyf, I don't know what is happening in your life and I don't need to. I just want to say that I'm so sorry for the circumstances that are making you so unhappy and depressed. I said a prayer for you, hon, and I pray that the Lord will help you through these struggles that you are facing. Big hugs to you, sweetie.
In other parental alienation news, Hailey Barry is still singing her song trying to get a judge to let her estrange her child's father once and for all and move to France.
The judges are SITLL saying NO. What doesn't she understand about no means no? They've been saying it for two years now.

Guess we all know who will be doing the winter barn prep. Wonder if the Smiths are coming again?
Do we celebrate Veteran's Day on Sunday now? I am confused. I just got my free meal, though and it is delicious!!
LMG,
yes, Veteran's is for both the living and deceased, while Memorial Day is for those who died in war.
I love Admin's comparison of the G8 to Flowers in the Attic. So true how those children are kept isolated, and so sad. It's a good thing they have ample time with their father and can escape the Kompound.

You'll need a couple of hungry children to pimp out for that Dutch Oven, and a set of platic ta-tas would help too. And if you're REALLY good, they will PAY you to take their free cookware. so CLAPCLAP get busy!!!!!!!!
Explanation of the difference between Memorial Day and Veteran's Day, also Armed Forces Day.
"In the United States, according to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, "Memorial Day (the last Monday in May) is a day for remembering and honoring military personnel who died in the service of their country, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle. While those who died are also remembered, Veterans Day (Nov. 11) is the day set aside to thank and honor ALL those who served honorably in the military -- in wartime or peacetime."
"Armed Forces Day, however, is celebrated on the third Saturday in May and it honors active-duty personnel."
LoveMyGrandsons--I do the same as you. Honor both the living and the deceased on both holidays.

Sure you're prepping for dinner Kate. What's your chef's name again? Katherine...is that it?
What's she making?
Oh and I'll bet the contents of the collection plate Kate didn't really go to church today. She sure makes herself sound great though doesn't she?
Oh, are Deanna and her boyfriend coming for dinner today, Kate?
@ BUTTERFLY! You are adorable!!!!! Thank you for posting that! you guys! Look how CUTE she is! Is that your office?

Oh really Kate??
Well, how about went for a run to raise money for the local animal shelter- got a FREE dinner (your favorite word), took the dog to the groomer, fixed the kid's phone, oh- and something you will NEVER experience- got called a hero twice and thanked for my service to my country multiple times because today is ALL ABOUT ME- BIYOTCH (and others like me, I am not narcissistic and I am aware of others in this world- hehehe)
so top that, katie!
ps- missing my dog, wish the groomer would hurry up!! :D
Dwindle,
you are sweet and making me blush, now stop!!
That was my office when I was deployed to a carrier. I am now on shore so my office is in a nice big building, Layla (where did she go?) knows where and she's not telling, LOL.
I love your avatar, too- great pic!!
So of course, Kate's tweet about Veterans Day is a retweet from a tweetie who retweeted Runner's World(got that?). The bolded part is her reply.
kateplusmy8
RT @fostermom62 @Kateplusmy8 “@RunningQuotes: Thank you Veterans for providing us the freedom to run!” Yes, thank you ALL veterans for this!

To be fair, she DID tweet about Memorial Day, but not about the reason why we celebrate it.

True, but my intent was she didn't tweet what Memorial Day signifies.

Exactly...that's balance. IMO, a "full schedule of activities" equates to over-scheduling. What you are describing does not.
butterfly, I love your avatar! I want to personally thank you for your service to our country. I also want to thank others here that are in the military, as well as their families. Thank you and God bless you all.
I am city dweller-
First, has she always had a barn? Second, what does a barn need for winter prep? What about the chickens- do they need winter prepping, too?

I have no idea what he is doing there, looks like he is getting ready to be the 6th grade safety patrol crossing guard. Hehe. But I liked it coz it shows his Screaming Eagles on his uniform.

RT @iAmTheWiseOne: People question the trustworthy and trust the liars. Use better judgment and you won't get screwed over.
She supposedly has guests, and of course, she's tweeting away. The guests must be working in the barn with the kids.
Butterfly and Dwindle -- those are GREAT avatars. Perfect for today. ( I gotta' get rid of the cranberry-in-the-can photo now.
LMG,
Thank you, and it's my pleasure serving.
Dwindle-
cute is my favorite word. My sweetie hates that word, I try to tell him when a female uses it, it's the utmost compliment- he still does not believe that, LOL! It's so hard not to refer to him as cute, or his outfit as cute, or anything relating to him as cute- soo frustrating :)
I like 'cute'
Auntie Ann -
I wanted a Le Creuset Dutch oven forever but they're crazy expensive. Last year I bought a Fontignac Dutch oven at Bed Bath and Beyond. It has been amazing. Made by the same French company that makes Staub. They're still not cheap -- like $140 for a 7 qt but way cheaper than Le Creuset.
amyf -- I dearly wish I could come and visit you and deliver whatever slice of pie you want to order. Have you ever confided what state you are in? I am so sorry for the conditions of your holiday. Do you need anything that could be mailed to you?
Prepping for dinner, winterizing barn, going for a run? You're endlessly pecking away on that iPhone for having so much on your plate today, Kate.
You are such a lying liar.
Exactly...that's balance. IMO, a "full schedule of activities" equates to over-scheduling. What you are describing does not.
&&&
I really don't think we are in disagreement so I'm not sure why this is upsetting you. I lumped time with friends and family and all of that into the "full schedule" description. I am the first to say kids today are overscheduled. I'm not talking about structured, military style activities from 8:00 to 23:00 hours. I'm talking about a full life and that includes plenty of time with family and friends and to get out of the house.
There is a new post.
Butterfly and other active duty personnel, Thank you. Wives, husbands, mothers & fathers (and MILS and FILS) , Gmothers & Gfathers, Aunts & Uncles, siblings , of active duty personnel, Thank you. Veterans, God bless you and THANK YOU! We will never forget.
Dwindle, thanks for posting "In Flanders Field". That poem always gives me goose bumps.
Is KK STILL carrying on a one-sided twit war with Liz? What a world, what a world! And WHAT A D-BAG!!
Admin, I love Craisins in salads too. Someone already mentioned putting them in the dressing. I also add a handful to my green beans sometimes, along with a little diced onion. Thanks to whomever posted the recipe for cranberry mayo. We have a great bagel shop here, Brueggers, that makes a wonderful turkey, cheddar and sliced apple bagel sandwich with cranberry mayo and I've been trying to figure out how to make it for myself. SOOOOOOOO good! Especially on a cranberry/apple bagel.
LMG and LBelle, sorry you're both under the weather. Hope things settle down soon. As I said yesterday, I can relate, but am thankful that it's usually brief and occasional in my case. Hugs to you both.
It's been years since I read "Small Sacrifices" or saw the movie. I'm going to have to go back and re-read it or look for the movie. Sounds like there are some very uncomfortable parallels with a certain bleach blonde bimbo in PA.
Many thanks to Dwindle (#73) for posting John McCrae's "In Flanders Fields" on this Remembrance Day. As a school child I remember memorizing this beautiful remembrance and tribute to our Canadian servicemen and women.
The parade today of our remaining heroes of the Second World and Korean wars brought tears to my eyes as there are fewer and fewer of them as the years pass, as well as the veterans of Afghanistan.
It is fitting that we pay tribute to the fallen - We will remember them - but also to the brave members of service who still serve.
May God bless them all.
bm
It is fitting that we remember
Dmasy - I'm in MA. Unless you can mail me a kitten or a puppy (or maybe a baby elephant?), there's not really anything that might help. I do appreciate the thought, though. My "bad time" runs from Nov. 13 through Feb. 17 (I didn't even realize it hadn't started yet!) - holidays, bad anniversaries, my birthday, more holidays and more bad anniversaries... Thanks, guys...

Wasn't that some case! I was a teenager when the Scarborough rapist was around and my mother was always worried when I took buses ( lived in TO) and then he turned out to be Bernardo. There was the media blackout of the case but I managed to read Steven Williams' book "Invisible Darkness.' Horrific, and yes, narcissistic personality among other things . Amazing she is now free.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LoveMyGrandsons & Kate is a Twit: I guess I have it mixed up- Remembrance Day I thought was for the dead mainly of WW1, Armistice Day. We don't have Memorial Day... confusing! But thanks for the quotation and I agree, remember both living and dead on both days.
Oh Dwindle, I remember that poem. We had to read 4 poems every day after lunch in 8th grade. One of my favorites. One of the other poems was "If". Brings back memories.
LBelle glad you are feeling better.
Yes, French Quarter is wonderful and so much history. Living here all my life, I sometimes forget how popular it is for tourist.
I have mostly recovered from Katrina, Still have not found a house to buy and don't know if I want to do that again at my age. We had no damage from Isaac.
LMG, Thank you for the kind words.Over the years I have been lucky and had most holidays off. We just plan our family gatherings around my schedule.

When I tried to click to the far right on Kate's twitter feed to view what she is responding to, it won't let me see and it goes to "no replies" instead of "all".
Has this happened to anyone else and how else can I view the comments connected to Kate's feed
Catch up..again. I am trying to cover all the stuff I've read, but didn't want to make a bunch of separate posts (I'm still about 200 comments behind, too)
LMG- Thank you. I've always loved Winnie the Pooh and when a sheeple took my regular user name I was trying to think of something Kate related, but not too icky ;) That's cute about your grandson, does he collect Poohs?
Formerly Duped (I think) - I HIGHLY recommend the Comfy Cone for dogs/cats that need e-collars. I have tried pretty much every e-collar out there for my allergy boy that literally lived in an e-collar for 3 years until his allergy shots finally started working and the Comfy Cone is the best one, IMO. You can get them at amazon.com and petsmart. They even come in sizes small enough for cats/tiny dogs which can't be said for all e-collars. My poor allergy boy got so used to his that he got upset when we took it off him :( Here is a link so you can see what it looks like.
Thank you to Aekudo (I know I butchered that, I apologize) and Butterfly for speaking up about the slut shaming. I was going to when I posted, but now I will just echo your sentiments.
BTW, regarding her sex tape, that was a tape made by her ex-high school boyfriend when she was 18. He sold it to Vivid without her knowledge or permission and she went to court to stop the release. She eventually started her own company to CONTROL the release so it was on her terms.
I'm sorry, but I can't blame her for that. If anyone is going to be making money on it, it should be her. Not some random company that was going to release it without her permission.
There is zero indication that her preferred method of career is sex tapes. Her most current work has been reality tv shows. She has been featured in Playboy, but so have many respectable actresses (and actors in the sister publication Playgirl).
Kendra has also been open about her post-partum depression, for which I give her kudos. Oh and by the way, as far as we know she is not abusing her pets or picking Hank, Jr. up by his hair and whipping him into his crib on a routine basis.
Lots of people make mistakes when they are young. I guess all of you people that are judging her have been perfect your entire lives?
Also, to Paula, there are duggies and low-lifes in EVERY walk of life, as Butterfly mentioned. The porn industry is actually well regulated (if we are not talking about the underground here). They don't want things to happen to their stars anymore than a regular movie company does. They don't make money that way.
I don't watch porn, it's not my thing, but to each their own. However, if I had the choice as an adult of having Kate or Kendra for a mom, I'd rather have Kendra. At least she's not a lying, child/animal abuser and a grifter. Her website is a hell of a lot better, too!
I also give her a pass on the swearing. Swearing doesn't make you a bad parent. We don't know if she swears in front of her kids or not, but even if she does, it doesn't make her a bad parent. I know plenty of excellent parents that swear.
What point are you making? Robert may not have been right about financing (and hold a second, just because it's ABC doesn't mean your production company didn't join in to finance) but he seems to have gotten most of the story right. It doesn't bother me if you get one or two minor points wrong. That happens in normal conversation. It's a rumor mill, the idea is to at least get the main points correct. Ideally all but that's not realistic.
