"I couldn't tell where heaven stopped and the earth began."



"Mama always said dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't." ~Forrest Gump

Part of the reason yesterday's tragic events at the Boston Marathon has hit so hard at the heart of America, is because gathering together to run or cheer at a marathon is such an iconic part of who we are. Many runners seem to have an almost spiritual connection to the pavement, and even if running isn't for you, it's hard not to be inspired by such a remarkable accomplishment. Marathons have also traditionally been so welcoming to people of all challenges, from those in wheelchairs to the blind to the very old, and their stories have continued to inspire year after year.

Several films have been made exploring why people would want to subject themselves to such a difficult race, a race so hard it has made many runners sick and rarely, worse. But runners can't stop chasing after those 26.22 miles, and some even come back year after year. Perhaps the most beautiful cinematic look at long distance running is in the 1994 film Forrest Gump, in which Forrest passes a mountain lake in Glacier National Park so clear it looks like a mirror, and watches a breathtaking sunset in the desert (You can see a brief clip of some of these dramatic running scenes above).

And here are two of our favorite documentaries:

Spirit of the Marathon. Filmmaker John Dunham follows six runners from vastly different backgrounds as they train for the Chicago Marathon, exploring the history of marathons and the appeal of such an arduous challenge. (Netflix streaming, Amazon.)


Running the Sahara. America's Charlie Engle, Canada's Ray Zahab and Taiwan's Kevin Lin embark on an unprecedented quest to traverse the entire Sahara desert -- on foot. Along the way, the runners encounter the beauties and hardships that accompany modern African life. The only weak point in this documentary is watching Charlie become less and less of a team player as the run goes on, however, it is an honest look at the imperfections of human beings as they put their bodies and minds through tremendous strain. (Netflix streaming, Amazon.)

God bless all the runners and spectators hurt, killed or witness to the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon on Monday. Bring them peace.

I recently mentioned this - in the past few weeks or so. Kate was sitting in a booth to sign her books. She was wearing a multi-colored top with a yoke, sort of Egyptian looking. Nobody was coming to her booth. There were people wandering around, stopping at other booths, but Kate's was dead. She banged her Sharpie pen on the tabletop and looked really miffed. She just decided to leave, and so she left. It was all on video. I don't remember when this was - she still had her signature striped hairdo with the hair curtain.

My poor Texas is having a really bad news day. First, husband and wife arrested for killing the Assistant DA, then the DA and his wife, in Kaufman County shocking the DFW area media.

Now the explosion of a fertilizer plant in the little town of West. They're saying everything within a five mile radius down, with hundreds wounded and many dead. When traveling between Fort Worth and Austin, we always detoured through West, which is famous in Texas for their Kolaches.

fidosmommy said...

Oops, I'm wrong. She was there with 2 women behind the booth with her. They were laughing. She did not tap her Sharpie. Some guy came along behind her, said something to the women with Kate, and Kate left with Steve. It was the Long Beach Women's Conference.

My error in not recalling it correctly.

prairiemary said...

This is too perfect. A blogger on kate's job/blog diagnosed kate as being a self-a-holic!

Those affected in the explosion in Texas, prayers for you tonight. Lots and lots of damage. Lots and lots of pain.

AuntieAnn said...

Then months and months later we found out in one of the episodes Kate was hiding in a utility closet crying about how few people were there and Steve was talking her off a ledge.

====

I think it was shown on Inside Kate's World (?) The utility closet was hilarious. You couldn't see them but you could hear them... Finally the door opened and out they came. lol!! I'd love to see someone do a video of that with sound over voices.

AuntieAnn said...

Remona - OMG. That is absolutely frightening. Both stories.

Echoing prairiemary's sentiments.

Unknown said...

I just read this. I don't know if it is factual or not, but ''West Fertilizer Co. reported having as much as 54,000 pounds of anhydrous ammonia. The OKC bomb was 4800 pounds.'' If true, that would indicate how horrific the explosion was.

Now they are worried that the expected thunderstorms moving in might cause more to be evacuated, due to the anhydorous ammonia gas fumes that are so dangerous.

I honestly hope that all the accounts are exaggerated, I'll feel idiotic for posting false information.

Peta said...

A 'handful' is 5 a 'dozen or so' is 12. Over twice as many. Math not your strong suit?

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I said there were a handful of FANS. All together the reporters, photographers, bloggers like me, the Radar gal, Tony, Steve, and several security and BN staff rounded out the few dozen.

Though I'm not a math person, no, but my eyes are good and I was there and I could see with my eyes how many were there. :)

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Out of curiosity, where does five come from anyway? Not the dictionary. Maybe definitions aren't your strong suit? :)

"Then I thought, "Wow, have I been misunderstanding 'handful' all this time?" But, no. I don't think so. The dictionary defines it as (i) A quantity that fits in the hand; (ii) a small number or amount. It doesn't reference fingers, and it doesn't give the number 5."

Unknown said...

I can't sleep. This is so awful.

They are now saying that 9 first responders are confirmed dead. I so hope that is not true! They are still searching through demolished houses, expecting to find people in the debris. Daylight can't come soon enough. Hopefully, more people will be found alive.

It was said that the explosion was heard 70 miles away, and registered as a 2.1 earthquake. Unbelievable.

There was an television interview with a man, discussing all the empty cots they had set up for people whose homes had been destroyed, and no one came. I wasn't at all surprised. It is so typical of small town Texas that everyone had family or friends to take them in.

Robert get your book out!

Vanessa said...

@njay 177
Loved what you posted :)

Vanessa said...

But that's the thing, no one has EVER from Kate's camp indicated that they felt this blog was bullying or hurtful to the family or it would be best to shut it down.
*************************************************

What about the cease and desist? I think (with the little I've read from Robert's book) she ALWAYS tried to shut down whatever sites, blogs etc. that were critical of her."Can we sue?!" But that was when the huge money was rolling in and her 'yes' enablers could distract her, or the money distracted her. Now she's got NOTHING so she's on a vengeance tour.

Vanessa said...

Oops admin,
didn't finish reading the rest of your post before posting myself. Take out the first line "what about the cease and desist"

Tucker's Mom said...

She said she did this because she was grumbling about being embarrassed by the lack of crowds so she thought it would look less empty if she moved the table.

Sounds like how a 12 year old would handle the problem. If you want something to look crowded, cram yourself in a tiny place! Hysterical. So worth it to go to that.
*******
I think it goes to Kate's mindset at the time, that the gravy train was never going to stop, that she'd be fielding media offers and have a show with the kids until they were 18 years old and that she would be eternally interesting to the public, instead of "at the moment".
FOR THE MOMENT???!!!

Virginia Pen Mom said...

Sleepless In Seattle said... 200

I was looking back at her timeline because Kate is ignoring her. I wanted to see if there was something she said to her that might have contributed to the shunning, and I found this:

Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 15 Apr
@dwrms11 @Kateplusmy8 BlackMail...Bullying tactics IS EXACTLY what RH & EX have harassed Kate w/4years now! She put up w/it..tried 2ignore!

Wow...she accused Robert and Jon of blackmail? That's serious stuff coming from someone who claims there's not a mean bone in her body and that she's always kind and respectful to everyone.

================

Not to mention, you can only blackmail someone if you have damaging information that's true and provable. By calling it blackmailing rather than libel, Milo let slip her belief that those journals and other documents are REAL.

barbee said...

In answer to Mimi (#41 I think): What do we want of or for Kate? We would like her to be OUT of the limelight (due to lack of talent or anything else to offer); we want her to NOT receive things/stuff/praise for nothing; we want her to have to GET a job and support her childrent without someone else having to finance it for nothing; we want her to LIVE the life she deserves which is NO BETTER than what anyone else deserves (the fact that she engineered the birth of all eight - yeah, count 'em, 8 - of her kids does NOT entitle her to be given the life of a celebrity. THAT is what we want for her, or to capsulize it, we want her to live like what she is, JUST the mother of a bunch of kids.

handinhand said...

Admin, I'm glad your not shying away from responding to some of this although I'm sure you'd rather not have to. It kind of felt like the elephant in the room there for a while.

njay@177-beautifully meaningful post. Thanks for that.

Tucker's Mom said...

If that is stalking, harassing and ambushing, I really don't know what to tell them.
*****
The question Admin is, isn't Steve grabbing your arm like that assault? From what I gather, he did not ask first and give you a chance to depart peacefully. Steve grabbed you and frankly, I'd be really pissed if he laid a hand on me. Really, really pissed.
He had no right to touch you at all.
I'm always shocked at what Steve got away with, between physically assaulting people, to making them delete photos which they have every right to take, keep and post if they want, to blocking people's way to public places, like restrooms (Nicky Blonskly in NYC).
If there was any offensive behavior at that book signing, it was Steve's.

LB said...

I’ve been thinking about Bullyville’s claim of filing a lawsuit and sending subpoenas. My question is---subpoenas can’t be sent until your case was filed to start the proceedings and a date selected by the court to start it? From what I understand to my best ability; no one can’t be subpoenaed until after the fact. Years ago, when someone caused a car accident with his car and my car; I received one to go to court. The case was already filed so that was why I was thinking it has to be until you file your case/lawsuit. Also can only the lawyers or the court subpoena you? Not like anyone can ask for one to look up your financial records, whatever it is Bullyville is trying to access. Is that correct?

I want all of the above too, but I also want to see her punished in some way for what she has done to her kids and Jon, and so many others who have had to deal with her in various ways.

~~~~~~~~~
I think that a very good punishment for her would be for Robert's book to be republished, and Robert to make the media rounds that KK once made. Robert is the one that had the nerve to expose her, and he should have the pleasure of publicly humiliating her!

I would also hope that JON ends up with the children, w/KK forced to pay him child support, AND turning over to JON the money the children earned for his safe-keeping. I believe that living with their father is the only hope those poor children have.

When is bv going to chastise Katie Irene's fans.

As soon as bv closed the "case", the attacks began on Jon & Robert. They're ehaving just like bullies.

Or is that kind of bullying acceptable to bv?


OrangeCrusher1 said...

Between Boston and Texas in just a few short days, who really cares about Kate Gosselin and this inane BV nonsense? I don't even care if Robert publishes any book; she has been exposed by him already, and frankly, if nothing else comes out, perhaps she will sink faster into irrelevance. Which is what she deserves.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Orange, they really picked the wrong week. What a sad week for our country. And what perspective.

Tucker yes Steve didn't even ask me to move along before grabbing me, and he grabbed me TIGHTLY. I COULD have filed a report about it, but it's one of those things where it wasn't worth it. I wasn't hurt, and I wasn't interested in getting into a tit for tat with Steve either.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Subpoenas ask for a case number. You can't get a case number until you file. I'm not sure how it would work to send out subpoenas without a case pending or what would be the motive to respond to it if there was no court case involved--there would be no reason to respond as there would be no judge behind the subpoena to enforce it.

Dmasy said...

Admin said, "They really picked the wrong week."

Oh, yes. Our sense of perspective is re-set. Our caring and concern and prayers are going to genuine victims.

If we are safe, we are grateful. We grieve for the ones who aren't safe.

OrangeCrusher1 said...

And as far as we are concerned for the children, the reality is that they will be raised by a narcissist, but at least in a far better physical environment than many, many children in our world. Their father will never have custody, thanks in part to his own stupidity in the way he agreed to the unequal distribution of their financial assets. Kate is not a bright woman, and her twitter associates are perhaps scarily not of full mental capacity, but that cannot be changed. Sometimes I care more about this stuff, just not this week.

However, is it not inane and irrelevant bog post day?

Tweet-le De Tweet-le DUMB said...

Taking a look at Kate's timeline this am it's as though BV never happened.

Good morning. My thoughts and heart goes out to those killed and injured during the Boston attack.

So... what have I missed in the World According To Kate in the last few months... Hmm??? Wow, what a mess. At the and of the day- fact remains:

#KateGosselinIsAChildAbuser

Who cares about anything else? Blog owner 'exposure'... gossip... I don't give a damn. It's April Radar Online-- that means Child Abuse Prevention Month. Expose Kate's personal journal excerpts, ROL. You have them. There's your story, David Perel.

___________________________________________

Sorry if this was mentioned, I haven't caught up Fido! I think that was at the annual Long Beach Women's Conference a number of years ago. I say this, because my hubby was responsible for the Convention swag bag distribution for celebrity attendees, and I joked to pee in Katie's tote for me. Purse Boy was there, she ate lunch alone with him, until Kathy Griffin approached her lonely table (to later use the sad story, as part of her next stand-up act ;)

Maria Shriver was questioned by the media and public in an interview she gave prior to this, as to why Kate Gosselin was invited. She said her daughter had invited Kate many months ago, and she didn't intend to shun her from the event. Kate did that, all by herself. According to my hubby-- she and Stevie left, after no one lined up for the signing and their 'lunch picnic' (lol, Jon) at the table was over.

Right you are Fidosmommy! That was the Conference. You and I actually posted all about it (on another Blog at that time). My hubby said working the event that day, with Kate and Rat Claws there was comical.

It was like Kate Gosselin left Pennsylvania for Rumspringa... only to get into the LBC Convention Center-- SHUNNED.

AuntieAnn said...

The explosion in Waco is heart breaking. So many injured and dead. The video is terrifying. Where I live there is a fertilizer plant five miles out of city limits with absolutely nothing nearby... no houses, no other industries, nothing near it for miles for this very reason. It's also a high security area.

Why on earth would they build a fertilizer plant so close to a residential area?

Millicent said...

I am heartsick at the news coming out of Texas, and angry - so very angry - at these big oil companies who nickel and dime on safety in their refineries -- and who bears the brunt of their purposeful risk-taking? The people who work at these refineries, the first responders, and all those in the radius affected when the inevitable happens, like it did yesterday. And there will continue to be these devastating "accidents" over and over again, until at some point, perhaps, the people will have had enough and force those refineries to be shut down.

Good, hardworking people died yesterday, because the corporation that owns that refinery wanted to cut corners, and the federal agency (EPA) that is supposed to oversee such things is understaffed, underfunded, and hadn't been out to that refinery in quite a long time. I believe Texas Governor Rick Perry said during the presidential debates that the EPA was one agency he would "get rid of" if he was president.

I live in northern California, thankfully nowhere close to a refinery. However, there is a Chevron refinery in Richmond, which had a massive fire last summer. A news report stated:

"EMERYVILLE -- In their most detailed report to date on last summer's massive fire at Chevron's Richmond refinery, federal investigators slammed the oil giant Monday for a chronic failure to replace aging equipment and called for an overhaul of regulatory oversight of the industry to prevent such accidents from happening again.
At a news conference in Emeryville, officials from the U.S. Chemical Safety Board portrayed a refinery that took a Band-Aid approach to plant maintenance -- pipes were often clamped as they aged rather than being replaced, and the section of pipe that ruptured had deteriorated to less than half the thickness of a dime."

Less than half the thickness of a dime!! What kind of country are we living in that oil corporations can endanger citizens to this extent and get away with it?

Tucker's Mom said...

It's been almost a month since Kate's Audi "broke down" and many people have asked "what happened to it?" on The Stir's comment section and Kate's Twitter. Apparently, the Audi got swallowed in some Bermuda Triangle-like vortex, along with a plethora of not-a-nannies and not-a-chefs. Or, maybe John Gotti is driving it now. Who knows?
Actually, if it were real (and I doubt it is real, but subterfuge to explain why Kate doesn't have the Audi now) a follow up blog about went went wrong and how it got remedied would make decent grist for the mill... odds on that happening??

Kelly said...

Ruh roh..looks like Milo is getting frustrated and will soon begin stomping her clubfoot. I can't wait for the "Betrayed By Kate" ebook she's sure to author.

As for the (fun)draiser, I agree it's totally inappropriate. Both the "fun" part and the signing pictures of smiling kids. Do a good deed for once in your life Kate and write out a big check to this family and show up for Zumba and meet and greet like others have suggested. Keep your unsold merchandise in the closet at home where it belongs. It's not about you, your books, your personal atm's, your self publicity etc. etc. etc. Geesh she kills me with the lack of everything skills.

Ex Nurse said...

Barbee--please don't speak for the entire blog in your responses. I don't feel the level of hatred that you apparently feel, and, I know I am not the only one.

Some of my posts haven't been going through for some reason--I did respond to some who responded to my posts, but I don't see them.

Remona --you made a very reasonable point that not everyone was able to buy the book--I had actually forgotten that it was on for such a short time, because we were synopsizing it here. So that is a valid point--especially for those who have devoted time to discussing and thinking about them.

In answer to your question, I can only say that I believe that the potential harm in dragging the kids' past back into the public arena, outweighs my wish for Kate to go down. There is a documentary series done in England, that followed 10 or so (more than a handful, less than a dozen) 7 year olds that attended the same school. They were filmed every 7 years. The original was called 7 Up, and the newest installment is at theaters now--called 56 Up. I haven't seen the newest (may go today), but in the last one, they talked about how profoundly the filming affected them. Some of them were teased, and many of them blamed the filming for their failed careers, marriages, etc.

So, when I weigh out the benefit in releasing the book against the unknown consequences on the kids' future, I don't think it is worth the risk. However, since today, the only google result for news on her is a referential remark on how the Duck Dynasty seems to have escaped the relationship problems of other reality stars, it probably won't make much of a difference. There really is virtually no interest in her. However, if Robert makes the rounds, Jon supporters should be prepared for the fact that his behavior will also come under scrutiny, and Robert will be asked about this repeatedly.

As far as what I wish for her: I believe that she is pretty well set for life, and doesn't have to work. It would be nice if she donated some time volunteering--she has kept her nursing degree current. As long as she keeps trying to claw her way into the limelight, this and other blogs will continue to discuss and criticize her. If she wants to get anywhere, whether it is reality show, clothing line, kid products, etc., she will have to pony up her own money, which she will never do.

I think that she is miserable and unhappy, and that she will continue to feel the consequences of her behavior. At least some of the kids will follow her example and cut her out of their lives. And, I think that is the just and fair result of her abuse. And, really, the only one that matters.

Tucker's Mom said...

I agree that signing photos of the G kids and selling her books about her kids is in poor taste.
Show up, donate, or even better, offer to match donations up to X amount and just meet and greet.

BTW, Rock Center with Brian Williams will have the mom who lost her 3 girls in a car accident on the Taconic Pkwy in NY.

Hmmm-No new entry yet on Kate's Stir bog. They have always been posted on Thursdays at 12:31 ET. Was she so involved with the bullyville crap that she forgot to submit one? Did the Stir finally tell her they've had it with her, and don't want her anymore(although she's still listed under "Writers")?

Very strange, indeed. I wonder if Milo is going frantic--since she's usually the first one to tweet the link.

AuntieAnn said...

What do you guys on this blog want the outcome for Kate to be? You keep hoping for Robert's book to come out to "finish her off". Do you want her in jail,penniless, the kids taken away, in a mental institution what would it take for the hate to stop?

___________________________________

Agreed, Ex-Nurse. That was my intended point, in my first post this a.m. The damage done by Kate's continual Parental Alienation and abuse will unfold on its' own gradually- whether or not Robert Hoffman's book is re-released. (And certainly whether or not Milo is a hack... or whether CJ is the best Cyber Detective-- this side of the Mississippi... or whether Ms. Goody is maniacal on Twitter!) The kids will all leave at one point, and Kate's reality isn't going to be fit for television.

I didn't take it that way. Barbee never said, "Everyone on this blog would like," or "this blog feels that."

I thought that this was a fertilizer plant, not an oil refinery. It was storing tanks of ammonia that is used by the farmers as fertilizer to increase nitrogen levels in the soil. These plants are common in rural areas that store and sell chemicals and fertilizer for ag use. It was privately owned by one person in his 80s.

I agree, County Mom. Not only do I not see a "level" of hatred, I don't see any hatred at all. Was there another post to which Ex-Nurse was referring?

I also liked Auntie's response. Quite succinct. Perfect.

I just was over at The Stir blog and the comments from this Zelda are absolutely BRUTAL. I mean cut you to the core, tear you apart, have no mercy brutal. I don't get it. I mean, yeah, we all are here because we are saddened and appalled by Kate's behavior and treatment of those precious kids. But I really don't believe we wish her any true harm. Complete opposite. We want her to recognize she needs help, be it in the form of a health care professional or just a family member. I feel bad for her. Really bad for her. Maybe some of these so called haters on twitter need to learn the meaning of empathy. Am I way off base here?

Awfully interesting that the only week she's ever missed a blog is the week she went nuts with BV.

I like how the sheeple are trying to play it off like blog, what blog? Nothing to see here folks!

FYI said...

Admin-they're all excited about a blog post written by Al Walentis claiming that Robert was Jon's hired pap. Al posted an excerpt from his "book" and although Robert's name is not mentioned, he claims that it was written about Robert.

Hmm-I seem to remember when the sheeple claimed Al and Polly were liars, but now they're claiming that Al has the "facts", and that's proof that Jon and Robert colluded on Robert's book.

Hailey and Al tell the truth when it's negative about Jon, but they lie when it's negative about Kate. Sheeple logic at it's best.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

How come Robert was never credited for any of all these photos he took? And in fact said he had to remove all the photos from his book because of copyright problems.

All this is neither here nor there, Robert could have been Jon's manager, pap, assistant and brother, it doesn't prove one way or the other what happened with the book if that's what they're getting at. I don't understand the logic. They've proven Jon and Robert knew each other, but I don't recall either of them ever denying that at one time they were friends.

Dee, where on The Stir are the comments from Zelda? Why can I never find a thing over there?

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

The Stir is a professional web site. I'm not sure how they can keep such a loose cannon around who is behaving like such a vindictive baby. I just don't see how this comports whatsoever with their image.

I'm pretty sure there are people in suits running that web site trying to maintain a certain degree of professionalism.

I just don't think we'll probably get a letter like Scott's this time though. They'll just quietly let her go, Kate who?

If she's fired, tell me again, what did WE do to cause such a thing? BV was all her idea that I can see. I didn't even know who they were.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Dee I can only speak for myself but I don't think it's necessary to leave scathing comments on the Stir. However, I think it should be noted that if the Stir did not prefer such nasty comments they could moderate them, could they not? All around the internet there are VERY nasty comments about everything and anyone. It is up to each individual web site whether they want to permit them or moderate them.

That's the only thing I don't understand is that there are simple solutions for dealing with over the top behavior on the internet. That is why we've chosen to be moderated right now, I want to be able to control what is permitted to be here. They could do the same easily enough.

Kristine said...

I also don't care if Jon did hire any Pap to film him, as long as the kids were not involved. The man was left virtually penniless, with legal bills from Kate and Team Discovery/TLC piling up daily.

He was once photographed by Radar Online-- tossing his meager final belongings (from this entire ordeal), into his new PA apartment in trash bags. The guy had no TV job, and monthly child support... times 8.

Ex Nurse said...

Well, when I said that Kate's priorities were revealed in her statement about wanting to run a marathon, there were several people who somehow interpreted it that I thought she should keep the kids home. Which is not at all what I said. I didn't see the point of correcting this, but it shows how easy it is to assign motives to others. I don't like people speaking for me, and the consistent use of the word "we" certainly implies that we all subscribe to the same beliefs.

I apologize for using that strong of a word, but I stand by my request to not speak for the blog--except for Admin, of course. I guess the kids are my priority, and I just don't see the benefit of a public flogging to them. They have suffered enough.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I haven no idea who hired what pap if at all. But here's the problem. At that time, pictures were going to get taken whether they liked it or not. It may have been in everyone's best interest to cooperate with the paps and give them access to get their shots so that they will in turn GO AWAY when everyone needs a break.

The royals, Brad Pitt and Angelina, Tom Cruise and many other hounded celebrities have told the paps look let's all cooperate here, I will let you have a select amount of photo ops, we split the money, and everyone is much happier than if you stalk me in the bushes.

The other alternative is for the press to stalk and hound you day and night night and day. What's really best for your kids? If that's a decision a family is making because they believe in the long run their kids will feel happier and less hounded, you have to do what you have to do. It's not so black and white that "anyone" who cooperates with the paps is a bad person.

#69 That is exactly the kind of thing I am talking about,those comments are vicious and I don't care who you are that is over the top. Did you see how many times she commented in a very short period of time? It is the same way with twitter. That is bullying plain and simple. Ex-nurse I thank you for your reasonable answers and respect your opinion,but sadly what I thought was true and proven by some of the other comments. To say that Kate only "deserves" to have no more than anyone else or that she "deserves" to be punished reinforces the irrational hatred of this woman. Does anyone here know for a fact that Kate has not had conseuling or that Kate has not apologized to her children. How does wishing for Kate to be punished help her children? I will not comment further,I am really not a fan or a hater but I am disgusted by the hate that is heaped on this woman constantly,if helping the children is really the goal I fail to see how the hate is accomplishing that.

Yes, Admin. It's done that way here in Los Angeles ALL the time. "I'd like to have a quiet lunch at XXX w/Mom, please take your photos and be done with it", etc.

I won't say who- but this month I did personal assistant work... for two A-list celebrity families in Hollywood. The mother was terminal and visiting- so we made arrangements to let the Restaurants know prior to our visit, so they could keep the potential Paps informed and at bay. Weird business. But that's how it goes. Often celebs will make arrangements for photo ops. to keep their kids safe, from Paps entering school zones... and disrupting the other children/parents.

I thought that this was a fertilizer plant, not an oil refinery. It was storing tanks of ammonia that is used by the farmers as fertilizer to increase nitrogen levels in the soil. These plants are common in rural areas that store and sell chemicals and fertilizer for ag use. It was privately owned by one person in his 80s.
****
I apologize and you are correct that this was a fertilizer plant. I don't know who owns it, but I have read news reports saying that the plant owner or managers indicated there was no danger of fires, serious leaks, etc. In other words, first responders in the area had no idea that such a hazard was in their back yard, nor did the people who now are suffering from the effects.

It's still absolutely appalling that this level of danger is allowed to exist. This is just one of many fertilizer plants. If I lived in a 25 mile radius of any of them, I'd be giving serious and immediate thought to moving the heck away.

Those poor first responders - no idea what they were getting into. A disgrace.

Oh and I should have added to scroll through the comments, I think Zelda's start on page 2 and continue through. She quotes a lot from RH's book or The Big Book of Truths AKA Khate's Worst Nightmare about to be revisited (republished) as I like to call it.

I'd never really gone through the comments on her bog before, but holy hell are most of them negative. I do believe Admin is right and she's been fired. I might add that it couldn't have happened to a nicer gal. Thank God KIG lacks broad appeal charisma. Can you imagine the further damage, scamming and grifting she could have accomplished if she'd been popular?

Chef, I'm about fifty miles from you and the Kankakee River in my neck of the woods is looking very, very scary. The weather radio alarmed almost nonstop today, so much so in fact that I unplugged it. DH came home from work and quickly plugged it back in and the the beeping has continued nearly nonstop.

She's reading their Twitter feed comments, obviously.

I appreciate and agree with Ex-Nurse's posts.
But I think Hoffman's book should be republished.
I understand her position, and this is one of the few times I disagree with her.
Jon is heralded as a Saint on this blog, far too often. I think he's a loser. He only appears to be a good parent when compared to Kate. Didn't he have a State or Union job at one one point where he was fired for spending too much time solicting funds and writing their family blog from his workplace? Maybe that's just a rumor?
RH should release more of the incriminating information. It could well change my, Ex-nurse's and a bunch of others opinions. Secrets aren't good. Let them be seen in the light of truth. Neither of them will come out smelling like a rose.

If you want to read about how horrible Jon is, there is already a book written that will give you all you want. Check out Al Walentis blog page. His book trashes Jon all over the place, and as an added bonus on his blog, he whines his hatred of Robert Hoffman.

That should do the trick for you.

I'm guessing that 1/2 the town was employed by this plant and I'm also guessing all most residents had to do was look out the window to see it. I'm not sure you're giving this little city enough credit.

Kate forgot? I guess that's as good as an excuse as any, being she was so busy with bullyville and their "op".

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

The point of the book for me is to try to make sure people who want to exploit the kids think twice about what theyve been through. Since Jon is not doing so I don't see the point to attack him. Should he do so again then he'll be fair game again.

No, he didn't get the job with the State until after the tups were born and that's because Kate asked the Governor to intervene (or at least that's my understanding). Jon was working at the cabinet makers when he was fired for using company time and resources for personal gain (at Kate's behest).

You are correct. Jon is not a saint. But of the two, he's been the only one to admit that, at least that I can remember. Please correct me if I'm wrong. And he's tried to change. Last spring, he tried to make a comeback and it failed. He then got off Twitter and has been quiet ever since. I really couldn't tell you what he's doing right now. And that's as it should be.

Jackie said...

There wouldn't need to be any point for the book if the FATHER of said children would put a stop to it.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

The father of the children is not the judge. When you are divorced and don't agree, a judge decides. The father of the children, per Kate's own admission, wasn't even consulted about the latest turn on CWS.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Kristine thanks for sharing that! Sounds accurate.

There actually are some nice paps out there who are happy to work with you. And really many people WANT to be seen in magazines they just don't want to feel like every step they take is photographed and stalked. So it makes sense to just arrange a couple minutes of photos (remember, photos that will happen ANYWAY whether you like it or not), split the profits, and go on with your day.

It's a pretty unwritten rule where I've been that paps do NOT come to schools. I've seen a few a few pap photos at schools but they are few and far between. There is no law you can't stand on a public street and take photos of kids but they respect it anyway.

The tweets come from paid accounts, generally advertising for very low ranking gossip sites. The people are paid by the frequency of their tweets and the # of people they reach. The links sometimes take you to totally unrelated sites that are selling something (always be cautious of the links you click). Quite often these tweets originate out of the USA with a large percentage coming from the Philippines. It's a way of making a living for some of these people. .

Didn't he have a State or Union job at one one point where he was fired for spending too much time solicting funds and writing their family blog from his workplace? Maybe that's just a rumor?

I don't think Jon has ever been compared to a saint on this blog or anywhere that I can think of. He's most definitely been called out on the foolish choices he made during the divorce, but because of his decision to stay out of the media and try to shield his children from it, too, many here have chosen to put his transgressions to rest. There is just nothing to talk about with him anymore.

Talk about Kate has died down to almost nothing a number of times here and we talk about many other things, but she continues to put herself and the kids right back out there with each attempt to stay relevant, ie: CWS, the cookbook, TheStir, CC, BV, etc, and our criticism of her returns each time.

IMO, they are both to blame for choosing to exploit their family in the first place but Kate is continuing to receive the negative criticism because of her choices to continue it. And let's face it, most of those choices have been negative-criticism worthy.

As for Jon's job with the state? You're confusing 2 of his jobs. He was fired from the job with the cabinet manufacturer when Kate was still pregnant with the tups. After they were born, Jon was offered a job with the Commonwealth of PA and worked there for a couple of years, I believe. He quit that job to spend more time at home helping with the kids (and be able to film the show - he could have never kept that job with all of the traveling they did). Leaving the PA job took place around the time Jon was supposed to work with Beth's husband, something that never seemed to materialize. IMO that 'job' was never legit but was a cover to explain Jon being home more.

Vanessa said...

Does anyone here know for a fact that Kate has not had conseuling or that Kate has not apologized to her children. ***************************

No disrespect, just adding to the conversation:)
I think CWS was proof positive that she hasn't.

Vanessa said...

"Narcissists often have histories of job and relationship problems. They got fired because they wouldn’t do things the way they were asked to, were disrespectful to those in authority, or because they became difficult to get along with. Or, they have quit job after job because they felt unappreciated. Many try and go into business for themselves but can’t keep employees. Common professions for narcissists include doctors, lawyers, pastors, and politicians. They like high-status jobs where they can have a lot of influence and where they can receive admiration and appreciation. They may have a lot of financial problems because they’ve tried to find happiness in possessions or “buying” love."
***************************************************
Except for her being a doctor or lawyer (bahaha!) she will not settle for mediocre!

Vanessa said...

"For an extreme narcissist, being fully exposed to the world is the greatest pain in their lives. It is also the best medicine to their disease because it will force them to look inside and deal with their pain and wounds. If and when that happens, they will become like the rest of us, realizing that we do need others to help and love us."
***********************************************
I've mentioned before that I have a Narcissist in my life and that I follow other blogs about this very subject. Above is a quote I came across the other day. Was it Virgina Pen mom who has the narcissistic aunt? (sorry if I'm mistaken) I think it's good advice and I also think this is yet ANOTHER reason Hoffman should re-release the book.

Pretty funny. Here's a chance for Kate to shine, and she blows it. What a surprise. On her show she was bragging that SHE had come up with all the ideas for episodes...I mean her real life. You know, the one where she plays loving mom in a gold cape, with her loving, gentle children playing at her feet, ala June Cleaver.

The OTHER tweeties came up with several good ideas though.

Comments on The Stir have chronicled Kate's ill-conceived and very immature alliance with BV. That would be enough for them to let her go, IMO.
Who would want to be associated with this?
At least it wasn't as public as CC, for the kids' sake.
If Kate has indeed been let go from The Stir, I almost have some semblance of pity. A handful of blogs (albeit concocted, especially the Audi BS) and done. It's sad. For the kids, that is.

__________________

I agree. In final stages of J & K Plus 8, Jon clearly said on film, he no longer wanted to film (and as their father, has a right); Kate wanted to keep filming and said they would "iron it out."

They split up after this, and Kate won in Court to continue filming her kids. Not just herself, but the kids as well!

The kids are now almost 9 and 13, have had no say so in filming, photos of them on twitter, cook book, CWS (which was telling),etc.. so I think most of us just want the kids to have some privacy once and for all. Growing up is hard enough, let alone all of the media scrutiny.

The kids did not have a say in this. If Kate can make it on her own, more power to her. Just wish the kids would get a much deserved break to live their lives free of the media and their mother putting them out there. It is really simple.

If Kate finds projects, without using the kids, most of us do not care.

Some of you may find this inspirational and comforting too. It reminds me that there are good people everywhere in the world and that terrorists are the deviant minority.

"For an extreme narcissist, being fully exposed to the world is the greatest pain in their lives. It is also the best medicine to their disease because it will force them to look inside and deal with their pain and wounds. If and when that happens, they will become like the rest of us, realizing that we do need others to help and love us."
***********************************************
I've mentioned before that I have a Narcissist in my life and that I follow other blogs about this very subject. Above is a quote I came across the other day. Was it Virgina Pen mom who has the narcissistic aunt? (sorry if I'm mistaken) I think it's good advice and I also think this is yet ANOTHER reason Hoffman should re-release the book.

===========

Yes, Vanessa, that's me. I've taken all I've learned here about narcissism to heart. It was through this blog I discovered my aunt WAS a narcissist. We are moving my mom in with us in two weeks for her own protection. My aunt is manipulating my very giving mother to give her everything she wants from my grandmother's estate. Me, me, me, greed, greed, greed.

I'm playing the bad guy, hoping that my mom can preserve her relationship with this woman. Not that I think it's healthy.

When my dad died 15 years ago, my aunt and uncle secretly took over his will and power of attorney from me, his only surviving child. He had dementia. They drove him to an attorney and put my uncle at the helm of his estate.

That may sound bad enough--but here's the rest. My mom and dad had been divorced since the early 60's. My aunt is my MOTHER'S sister--not my father's.

So when my uncle received power of attorney and the executorship, his relationship to my dad was: my dad's ex-wife's sister's husband. Plug that into your own family and see how outrageous it is! My aunt has never forgiven ME for this, although I forgave her.

My mother said yesterday that if we didn't give in to all my aunt's demands, "there will be hard feelings." I reminded her of the above and said, "There are already hard feelings--and I didn't cause them." I intend to take a stand this time.

Thanks, Vanessa! I appreciate your narcissism information and hope you can find peace with (or from!) your narcissist as well.

JoyinVirginia said...

Virginia Pen Mom, my sympathies with all you are dealing with about your mom and her manipulative sister. Even otherwise reasonable people seem to completely change when someone dies and there is even fifty cents to fight over.
in one extended family fight that I witnessed from a safe distance, the reasonable siblings finally got resolution with the narcissistic sibling by having an attorney send a very clear, specific letter that emphasized the wishes of the deceased, the duties of the executor, and the firm resolution of the reasonable siblings to proceed to litigation that would probably use up most of the assets in the estate. The narcissistic sibling fired two or three attorneys who all said the same thing, the claim would fail in , before finally believing it and dropping the complaint.
Your mother is fortunate she has you to advocate for her.

That's lovely, sue the pants off the children's father. For WHAT? It's not ILLEGAL to provide a reporter with information. If she is suggesting something was stolen, she needs to call the police.

chefsummer #Leh said...

So how is Kate going to explain to the 8 that mom's suing dad?

I don't get her.

She she doesn't think of the long term effect of her actions.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Have you noticed everyone is always saying they WILL file suit, they are GOING to file suit? But no one ever actually FILES. Even Kate has said she is going to sue Jon, but where is the suit??

FILE, put your money where your mouth is, or shut up.

Silimom said...

I'm surprised Kate found attorneys to take her case. How does an attorney decide if a case is worth their time or not? Or is this possibly a case of "We'll just take her money even though she'll likely lose or it won't ever go to trial?"

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I'll believe it when they file.

Attorneys ethically are forbidden to take cases they don't believe have merits. They could just be in the gathering evidence stage to see if they have a case. It's entirely possible they're going to have to call her up at some point and tell her that ethically, they do not have enough to file suit.

What exactly is she suing for? I'm not aware of any torts that say No talking to reporters! Emotional distress? Theft? No one asks these questions.

chefsummer #Leh said...

If she does sue Jon & Robert.

I hope Robert finally expose the abuser that she is.

She better think be for she acts.

She is on destruct mode and I feel so sorry for those kids.
I can't begin to fathom their sadness, fear and anxiety.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Also if Jon is such a deadbeat with no assets what is the point of a suit?? She can't get money from him. Wouldn't it be easier to just keep her child support order in place if she wants money? With no assets, this really is just about a lawsuit to get back at him for something she thinks he did in 2009. Why not just let it go, move on, and focus on your children and on getting a real job after you've probably been fired from yet another one?

Very true, but A LOT of the comments state that her blogs are too long, hard to follow, too many exclamation marks, they don't the reader with any good information...REAL feedback not attacking HER personally. Some even say they really want to succeed or hear about her life and her tips on how to do so...

Exactly. Someone with eight young kids should be able to write an interesting and helpful blog and there's nothing wrong with offering constructive criticism. A writer needs to be able to listen to constructive feedback and consider it. That is not "hate."

Marie said...

I really feel for the kids. Can you imagine mommy suing daddy? Not to mention, if their relationship has been that contentious all along, there must be a tremendous amount of stress in that family. That may be why the kids always look so depressed and unhappy. Too bad they can't just work this out behind the scenes for the kids sake. Also sad that there are no relatives of family friends who can step in and help.

As far as Kate's blog goes, not everyone can be a writer. You are either good at it or you're not. It's amazing, after all of the blogs she has written, I don't think there have been any that would be helpful to a growing family. I don't think Kate has the gift. She needs to do something else.

And still no answers about the Audi.
I wonder if The Stir smelled the bullshit wafting off of that entry and made a decision not to deride their site further with such fantastical stories. I'm sure they also wanted authenticity and not yet another pulpit which Kate uses for her bullying or bullshitting.

Kart may have thought she made the bog current, but the bog wasn't posted because she probably lost track of time and may not have remembered what day it even was. Of course, in her confused mind, she may have been waiting for BV to write the bog for her.

Most people don't. Always about HER and never the kids. Still don't understand why Kate could not meet with Jon, in the best interest of her kids, and sort this out OR privately GO to Court, if need be.

Why the constant media, which is hurting her kids? We all know the answer to that.

TLC stinks said...

I've read some sketchy things online about Randazza. He is based in Las Vegas, first amendment attorney who defends porn industry. He was the attorney in the Hunter Moore suit, which he won only because Hunter Moore did not defend himself.

You know in a way I hope this suit of Kate's does go forward. I really don't know if she is aware of ALL the dirty laundry that will be exposed. Things that Kate wants to keep quiet will no longer be. I seriously doubt though that this is going anywhere.

TLC stinks said...

Interesting that Radar is getting its info from McGibney and Kate. Again proves they are in cahoots. Not surprised Bullyville is making noise about a lawsuit because he has to carry this threat through or look weak. It will be dismissed and he will save face.

Kate is disparate to do whatever it takes to stop Robert and bring down Jon. Working with McGibney is disparation. She doesn't care about her fans. It's all about killing Robert's book and eradicating Jon from the children's lives.

Hey Admin. You'll be sure to let us know when you get your subpoena won't you? Tee-Hee!!!

FYI said...

From the ROL article:

"And Hoffman has never backed off his criticism of Kate, even after his e-book was pulled off sale by Amazon 48 hours after it went up. He told Radar he has called child protective services on her twice. (McGibney says there is no record of those calls.)"

How would McGibney even know this, since calls to CPS are confidential? I'm sure CPS wouldn't even tell Kate whether Robert called or not.

ROL seems to be believing everything McGibney says without checking any facts. Yeah, I know what else is new?

Funny how that now that ROL is reporting Kate in a good light(as far as she's concerned), Kate has stopped calling them out for their "lies, all lies".



Midnight Madness said...

LOL oh ok Tucker that will go well in court with his smoking gun of a photo of Robert with some kind of African dance troop!!!

****************

Hey...Watch it! LOL! That's not just some kind of African dance troop. It is Ladysmith Black Mambazo, who are absolutely amazing. They sang with Paul Simon on Graceland. I heard them perform with him at the DC Liberty of Congress Gershwin award presentation. When my baby was cranky and wouldn't sleep at night, the ONLY thing that would ever quiet her was one of their CDs! That thing was played so often that it actually warped and deteriorated!

Millicent said...

Two quotes caught my eye in the ROL article about these supposed lawsuits:

“When BullyVille says we’re going after someone, we mean it,” McGibney told Radar exclusively. He adds that subpoenas have been issued to obtain IP addresses where “implied death threats” originated."

Where were these lawsuits filed? In what court? When a subpoena is issued in a civil lawsuit, it must be served on the person whose records are being sought. For example, if someone files a personal injury lawsuit, claiming they were hurt in an accident and had to get medical treatment, the other side can subpoena the medical records. But they must serve the plaintiff (through his attorney) with a copy of the subpoena, and allow time for the plaintiff to object to the scope of the subpoena.

If the lawsuit has just now been filed, that means it has to go out and be served on the people named as defendants. I don't know about the timing of subpoenas for records, but it seems like the defendants ought to at least have the time to answer the complaint before being bombarded with record subpoenas. I think he's blowing smoke on this one.

"And Hoffman has never backed off his criticism of Kate, even after his e-book was pulled off sale by Amazon 48 hours after it went up. He told Radar he has called child protective services on her twice. (McGibney says there is no record of those calls.)"

How does McGibney know whether Hoffman called CPS or not. The only way he could have that information is if he obtained it illegally - by either a CPS employee revealing confidential info to him, or somehow hacking into the CPS system and obtaining info that way. Isn't that one of the big claims against Hoffman by BV and Kate - that Hoffman obtained Kate's journals and computer records illegally?

I hate how ROL includes the statement "McGibney says there is no record of those calls" without also including a statement that CPS records are confidential and questioning how McGibney could allegedly know this information.

Midnight Madness said...

Make that LIBRARY of Congress. I'm trying to type and watch everything that's unfolding in Boston.

I just read about this lawsuit. So Kate is using the money her kids earned for her to sue their father. She needs help. She has said so often that everything she does is done for her children. Really? Suing the father they love fits into this...how?

What is she hoping to get out of suing Jon? You can't get blood out of a turnip.

Some here have said that this whole bullyville thing was not about the fans being victims. It was all about getting Robert and Jon. They called it.

Checked Kate's book on Amazon. It's still selling for $15.76. In the past week, they have offered several promotions. First, where you could buy it combined with MB, the combined with MB and Eight Little Faces. They have yet to have a promotion combining it with IJWYTK.

Today, they have a promotion combining it with a cookbook that was just released on the 16th and is getting good reviews.

Sounds like they're getting more and more desperate.

Think First said...

So are Laverne & Shirley out of the picture? I guess they wouldn't take the case for Kate.

Does Kate not realize that if she goes forward with this that the confidentiality agreements that people signed? Does Kate not realize that if she goes forward with this that even if she is successful in blocking the publication of the book that things will come out in court and will be public record? Does Kate not realize that if Hailey was "exagerating" on some things that it will come out? Does Kate not think that those who would be hiring her for media jobs will see this and think twice about hiring her? Does Kate not think at all? Do her lawyers not advise her of all of this or does she not listen because she is a vendictive bitch with blinders on?!

If any of this is true I really feel sorry for the 8 and would adivse Kate to stop poking that sleeping bear with the sharp stick because he just migh wake up.

I'm guessing that she wrote something inappropriate or clueless for her "bog" considering the week's events and her past history of topic selection, and was told to redo it. Hence her "update" comment and Milo's defensive tweet about it.

Kate Gosselin's blog is up! Guess The Stir will still keep her or Kate has a contract that can't involve "firing her"

FYI said...

Her new bog is up. It's all about what happened in Boston. You can tell Kate is not a true runner, because she says:

"The fact that the finish line was “stolen” from so many of these great runners due to this despicable act -- about 1,200 runners, according to reports -- and although I realize this issue pales greatly in comparison to the myriad of other issues that many have faced, I am positive these runners feel robbed of their finish"

and

"I'm also saddened for the runners who DID finish. This was supposed to be their day to bask in their own accomplishment that their superhuman hard work afforded them"

Kate, the last thing on the minds of those runners is "how they feel robbed". I know that is how YOU would feel, but that's nowhere even close to the emotions they ARE feeling.

I repeat-you are not a runner-and you make me sick.

Kate's The Stir blog is about Boston and how ANGRY she is for the runners. The town is on lockdown, a killer is still on the loose, we have no idea how deep this terror plot goes and how far it reaches and Kate will run for Boston.
I highly, highly doubt that the vast majority of the runners are thinking about being robbed of a marathon finish, when a little boy is dead, his sister is missing a limb and his mother has head injuries.

Kate's anger is a serious issue.

~~~~~~~~~~
Marie, we really don't know how many people have tried in various ways to 'help'. We have no idea what Jon has tried to do. As we have already witnessed, one person can cause complete chaos by simply demanding that they get what they want....EVERYTHING they want. KK's said over and over, ''if you're not with me, you're against me.''

The two good things I can think of that involves KK, is that the children are no longer toddlers. If she is abusing them, they are all old enough to tell if necessary. The second thing is that they still have Jon, who is (so far) publicly silent. Thank goodness. I still believe that Jon is the only hope those poor children have.

Think First said...

Did she have to make her bog "more current" because she "mistakenly" submitted a CC bog and forgot to change things? YIKES!

FYI said...

By the way, Kate-you need a fact checker. More than 5000 people did not finish the marathon--not 1200. Whose reports were you referring to? McGibney and Milo?
