Kate Plus 8
Florida Fun6:00 PM on TLC, 1 hr 3 min 2015 TV-PG
The gang is still in Florida, where some of the kids go deep-sea fishing, but their adventure is cut short by seasickness. Later, Mady and Cara look up recipes to cook the family dinner; and the kids have fun on their first trip to a water park.

And she calls her self a clean freak..yuck
Safety first!!!!!!!!!!
Step away from the hot grill, kids. Now eat your cross-contaminated beef.
I wonder if she feed uncle fly monkey this or did he get the safe meat wrapped in foil.

RIP 1977-2009
He Just Didn't Know How To Help Kate.
PS Kate doe it all alone.
How on earth would Milo know how long it took the children to recover..what with the editing that goes on? If TFW did give the children Dramamine, she shouldn't have needed the barf bags.

That's a good question. I wonder if he eats any of the meals Kate makes. Maybe she cooks special dishes for him.
But here's the thing, PJ. It could be something was missed in the interpretation of this whole "no grilling" speech. She bantered on and on about not grilling, and if she meant she never grilled BEFORE the divorce because Jon was the grill master, then she should have explained it that way. She didn't, and as a result, her comment about never grilling and turning on the grill was taken as a lie
&&&&
Don't take this as opening the door to politic discussion--I'm not I promise! But Donald Trump remnids me SO much of Kate in how he approaches questions. Much like her, it's like he doesn't really listen to the question or even keep track of what he's saying. As a result there have been many times where he was clearly talking about something else, but if you just look at the qutestion and answer in isolation, it looks like a direct response to the question when it really wasn't.
He and Kate both need to slow down and listen more carefully and be more linear when they speak.
I've watched Dog now and again. The thing I do like about him is how he talks to the people he picks up. Once he's got them detained, he talks to them like real people, like he understands them and wants to help. He's bent over backwards to be lenient with some people he really wants to give a second chance to. He gives a lot of good "come to Jesus" talks to these folks that they really need.
That's a good question. I wonder if he eats any of the meals Kate makes. Maybe she cooks special dishes for him.

I bet she make TFM's meals special and no kids with dirty hands are allowed to touch it.
The famous mother of eight (a set of twins and sextuplets) was focused on ensuring a smooth filming schedule
....
Yep. Just like the corn maze and the 1/2 day on the beach they all love and Old Faithful when she flat out said "I think we've got enough". It's about the show not having fun , learning something, spending time together
Tucker's Mom - I may have liked season 1 of Fargo a bit better than season 2 but they're both superb. Frances McDormand still gives one of the best performances of all times in the movie. Hope you enjoy Detectorists.

@Kateplusmy8 looking 4 new cookware, what do you recommend?
LOL!! A microwave for canned soup and a bread machine that slices the bread when it bakes! Bam! That's all you need.
He and Kate both need to slow down and listen more carefully and be more linear when they speak.
)))))))))))))
Oh, I agree with that. They need to THINK before they speak because if it comes out wrong it could be taken out of context and misinterpreted in an entirely different way than what they mean. Slowing down and thinking is the key to it, but I'm not sure that either one of them could master this.

She was there, don't you know, floating on a raft in the ocean? Her job as Kravitz isn't limited to peering into windows. Her eyes are everywhere!

Oh, yah ;-)
Thanks so much, Math (195)! I think what I will do is just let her have it as a play dress since she likes it so much and if she messes it up even more, it's no big deal. I'll let her pick out a new dress that she likes for the pageant and put it out of her reach until then. Of course, that means mall shopping on the weekend before Christmas, but hey, we'll get through it!

What?! No Inkgate? You're not going to threaten her within an inch of her life? You're not going to throw it out and then get on the phone and bawl someone out over this? What kind of a mom are you anyway?
All those pizzas she liked to cook was no coincidence. We know Steve loves pizza.
Serendipity, just go early this weekend. Many stores are also open 24/7. A play dress sounds like a good idea. We've all had accidents. My niece meant to cut a thread in her prom dress with netting and the result was a hole. Oh well.
Anonymous bm, Exactly!
Localyocul (#8), and that's why I cringe when TFW plays the "making memories" and "culturizing"
cards to explain why she's still interested in filming her kids. Utter nonsense -- she's doing
it for the perks and the paychecks. FDR is on Mount Rushmore, and the Grand Canyon is a waste
of space? Culture indeed.
They should of named the FL vacation episode:
Bereavement and Bar-B-Que, Korean Style
All those pizzas she liked to cook was no coincidence. We know Steve loves pizza.

But he won't eat salad. So were all of those salads she made just for herself and the kids while he devoured the pizza all by himself? Or did he share?

Am i the only one that notices Milo is getting more antsy about the haters nowadays then back then?Usually she would ignore the haters but nowadays she talks about them more.I guess she's piss about Robert Hoffman being around. (192)...

I didn't see that, but I did notice that the few remaining resident twitter haters are hanging on her TL longer and are getting very nasty with some of the fans and the name-calling. I don't see how one can do this -- live there and tweet the same things over and over again and nobody ever "wins." Do these people ever take time out for just, well, life? You couldn't pay me enough to have a twitter account (or FB, for that matter).
Is Robert back on Twitter? Read from the bottom up.

Here is the link to see the picture of Jon's and Colleen's and the kids Christmas tree that he posted. It looks great. A nice tree that a family would decorate together for Christmas. Isn't it wonderful that there will be no presents under the tree wrapped with white remnant newspaper and a name scrawled on it with a black Sharpie. Just presents wrapped in store bought wrapping paper and a bow. Ahhh!

@sarahK I admit i don't agree with some of the things the haters on twitter say.Yes at times its never wrong to speak out against Kate and the abuse but name calling is not going to get us anywhere.Yes its frustrating when fans refuse to listen and just block anyway.Some just don't care but spamming Kate's TL isnt gonna do anything.I agree milo is annoying with her CWS and deluding herself into thinking her and Kate are best friends and yes some fans are crazy.If anyone on here is a hater on twitter that sees this comment and thinks im against you,no i just dont agree with the spamming.

********************
I hope you don't mean me. I am a nurse, mother, and grandmother that works 8-9 hours/day. My commute takes another hour or so depending on traffic. I come home, do things around the house, play a few games on FB and tweet a little. I also am in the process of writing emails to the sponsors of her show. One of the main reasons I got a twitter account was because I got really sick and tired of the momster always getting in the last word/her version of events being unchallenged. I see my grandchildren on the weekends and have a few hobbies which I love to do when time allows.
Having said that, I have noticed that some of the 'haters' as you call us/them are getting a little raunchy. I avoid the name-calling and prefer to tweet excerpts from Robert's book or point out inconsistencies in her statements.

I agree that the tree looks nice, but I don't see any presents at all under it.
And for excess presents under the tree, see
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3352684/Mother-three-spent-1-500-300-Christmas-presents-children-insists-NOT-spoilt.html (or google 300 presents or emma tapping)
Though perhaps "under" is a relative term.
I apologize if this story has already been discussed here; sometimes it's hard to keep up!
SarahK, let's have the graveside service on the North-South Korean border with the kids on the South side and Kate on the North side.
If she gets caught, Steve has connections with Bill Clinton. Bill can get her out.
Just watching a few minutes of Master Chef kids and there are 2 teams competing with 6 kids each. There were 2 crates to cook from. New England and New Mexico. The 8 year old Captain of the NE team had the best dish up to that point and that is why she was made Captain. 8 years old. You ought to have heard her talking head about choosing her team and about cooking the dishes that she just made up off the top of her head. AMAZING!
And TFW wants her kids to do food competition on tv?
Good luck on that one. Those poor kids and food. They have been served food on prison trays, denied food, small portions, had to deal with moldy food their sadistic mother sent back day after day. Joel had food spread all over his mouth and cheeks and a picture printed in her cookbook. Boys denied strawberries.
Wow, the 8 year old was just instructing her team member to keep it on the bottom so it will get evenly coated. And they are Yes, Chef.

Is Robert back on Twitter?
=============
He has been retweeting since the book became available again. I haven't noticed if he has written any tweets of his own.
Blind item about Kate from Crazy Days and Nights site:
September 2, 2015
This long long time reality star loves being on television. The rest of her family? Not so much. She doesn’t care though. Anyway, she is pitching another season of her show which would follow her as she gets ready to be married and married. The one big problem is that her boyfriend has not even asked her and has no plans to. Maybe she thinks she can convince him or something or fake it.
Kate Gosselin/ Jeff Prescott (instead, he dumped her)
What?! No Inkgate? You're not going to threaten her within an inch of her life? You're not going to throw it out and then get on the phone and bawl someone out over this? What kind of a mom are you anyway?
)))))))))))))
One who spilled red wine on a lovely teal dress at a Christmas party a few weeks ago and didn't freak out over it. Luckily, I got to it before it set in, and water and some liquid soap removed it! And one whose toddler drank too much apple juice that caused an explosion in the diaper and all over the crib. You just clean it up because, well, the world doesn't stop because of it and it's not worth getting all stressed out over it.
Ink happens, poop happens. Life goes on!
I agree that the tree looks nice, but I don't see any presents at all under it.
))))))))
Did someone say that there were presents under the tree?
If she gets caught, Steve has connections with Bill Clinton. Bill can get her out.

But would he have the desire to do so?
The lady with the dress....you're missing the mark here. You need to tweet TFW for help, and copy Oxy Clean, Tide, and whoever else you can think of.
See if they send you a year's supply of product.
Serendipity,
I like your plan to get a new dress. Sometimes it's better to just cut your losses and come up with a new strategy. Just make sure you get the new dress before the old one is converted to play status. But you know that. Sometimes the best-laid plans.....

She's nuts. This preoccupation with Kate and her bed is just over the top.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack
@laurenlapkus & so do many of us who followed the family 4years! As a single Mom Kate is really trying 2give individual attention 2ea kid!
She really does believe that she knows Kate, and yet she doesn't want to meet her. Who is this person? Is "it" a male or female or neither?
Will Kate discard her "good bra" in keeping with current trends?
http://nypost.com/2015/12/14/bras-are-quickly-losing-womens-support/
Gladys tweeted that TFW is "really trying 2give individual attention 2ea kid!" But if you take a second to think about it, if you're WATCHING her give individual attention to them, that means
it WASN'T individual attention. There was a boom mike over their heads, and a camera trained on
their faces, and production assistants planning
each moment of the outing, and a director yelling "action." It was, alas, still a group activity
for that poor child. Think, sheeple, think.
So TFW and M go antique shopping? I wonder if the planning for that episode went something like this:
Mom: We're going antique shopping on the next episode.
Teen: I'd rather drink bleach. Or eat your salmonella chicken.
Mom: It's already scheduled. The crew is coming to the set -- er, I mean, our house -- at 7 tomorrow morning.
Teen: What's it worth to you?
Mom: Um...curfew extended by one hour for the next month?
Teen: And?
Mom: A $100 Justice gift card?
Teen: Keep going.
Mom : (sighs) And unlimited iTunes downloads for the next 6 months?
Teen: Okay - wake me up when they get here.
I do not know how far things had progressed between her and Jeff Millionaire, but it would not surprise me in the least she plotted that relationship all the way to the altar. What a ratings blockbuster, right?
So it's unclear to me, as I have read different versions of the breakup, that either Jeff got cold feet regarding filming or they had actually done some filming and she treated him just like Jon which pissed him off. And the guy traveled all the time and it looks like he was still playing the field. I also read that she and Jeff had traveled to Vegas and Hawaii. If that was true, maybe in her pea brain she was scouting out wedding venues. She really lives in an alternative universe so nothing surprises me about her anymore. Maybe we will get our answer regarding Jeff when we hear the blind date explanation. The only thing I know that is a fact is that Steve has been the only constant in her life for years.
Sorry Redbird but I've often written the name on the back of the package with black sharpie. Not everything has to be wrapped perfectly. But that's just me. When you have dogs and/or cats, anything under the tree is fair game especially the bows and tags on packages. We had a tradition growing up (7 kids) where my mother wrapped some of the gifts in newspaper and we had to guess who they were for based on an article or some other clue on the "page". Those were opened last and we usually couldn't wait for them. Pretty under the tree? No, but great memories.
Kate said she was involved in a business transaction with Jeff. I absolutely believe that. The transaction involved "dating" for the cameras. For Kate, it might keep her show going. For Jeff, the publicity could raise the public profile of his company. I believe Kate would have happily staged a sham wedding, henpecked him half to death (all in front of the cameras, of course), and divorced him in a huge public spectacle. Anything to keep filming.
But Jeff backed out. Perhaps he realized that being involved with her was not going to reflect well on him or his company. Perhaps he wasn't willing to give up other women in order to pretend to be with Kate. Maybe he met someone he really wanted to be with. Either way, he said no. Good for him.
So, TLC (idiots that they are) were stuck with their promise of 8 episodes, and Kate was not about to let them out of it. So they had to basically find enough filler to put 8 episodes on the air. Antique shopping. Little horses. Cooking endlessly. Vomit. Boring, boring, boring. I, personally, think it's a good thing if TLC loses money on this. They didn't learn their lesson the first time. Maybe this time they will remember that it's not a good thing to be involved with Kate.
Just saw this on AMC:
Better Call Saul returns Feb 15. Yippie!
Jim Bob Duggar is one greedy monster.
He knows that the mags will pay for interviews and pictures and the headline, we want to adopt will sell magazines.
The Duggar parents are delusional. They are going through a horrible family crisis right now and they want to bring in an innocent child at this time? They covered up for their son's molesting his sisters and a babysitter. They designed the house to keep Josh at bay from going into his sisters rooms at night. Josh supposedly had his own room where he spent a lot of time watching p***. Then he was caught on Ashley Madison and confessed being with prostitutes and was violent with one twice.
What galls me so bad is when Jim Bob and Michelle were at the conference for people who were trying to adopt and had tried IVF and had been trying for years to get a baby, they stood there at the podium with all of their children and said that THEY were going to adopt. I thought that was CRUEL to stand there with 19 kids in front of people who don't have a child and say, we are going to ADOPT. Some people were so hurt they got up and left.
I read on Pickles FB that the Duggars went to South America for a CANDY trip. They made a trip to SA to GIVE OUT CANDY. Can you believe this? A Canada group went down and BUILT HOUSES for the poor.
Which group did the most good? Duggars-candy, OR
Canada-Built homes for the poor?
Thank you Canada. Oh, Canada!
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Fellow Christians, tearing each other down. This is so sad to me. If you don't think the Duggar's love the Lord as much as you do, maybe it is you who are delusional. All Christian's make mistakes. Horrible mistakes. Is that not true? Josh did not have his own bedroom either. He had a tiny AV studio but his bed was a bottom bunk in the boys room.
And if there are multiple SOS groups going to Central America I would imagine each group has different tasks and age groups. The Duggar's have talked about when each kid was old enough to finally go down there. Perhaps they pick the trip the more of the little kids can go on. The youngsters understand candy and giving it. They do many other things besides handing out suckers. What they are hoping to instill in these kids is to have a servants heart. It seems to have worked in many of the kids, who keep going down there.
Isn't extremely judgmental to say what mission trip is more worthy? I don't see the Duggar's blogging about a reality show and tearing apart a mother and her 8 kids. Likely they just pray for those who don't know Jesus, like you do.
NJGal51, I love to wrap presents in the Sunday comics paper. I wish they would make real wrapping paper from Sunday comics. Like a roll of all Peanuts comics, a roll of Garfield. And I have ran out of tags also and just wrote the name on the present.
It is just the sterile and institutional way she does things. White presents. Writes their names on the presents. No pictures, posters anything on the walls in their bedrooms.
Who cares if the presents are wrapped crazy and are not perfect. The point is that it should be done with love not going through the motions like a robot.
Thanks so much, Math (195)! I think what I will do is just let her have it as a play dress since she likes it so much and if she messes it up even more, it's no big deal. I'll let her pick out a new dress that she likes for the pageant and put it out of her reach until then. Of course, that means mall shopping on the weekend before Christmas, but hey, we'll get through it!
Does your daughter do those glitz pageants?
No, the Duggars don't blog about a reality show.
They just publicly condemn everyone in the LGBT community. Josh made a living wagging his finger about sin, while cheating on his wife. Michelle made robocalls warning people against transgender people in public bathrooms, while knowing her own son had sexually molested 4 of his own little sisters. The Duggars' own behavior has shown that
they are hardly paragons of Christian virtue.
The Duggars are condemning an entire group of people for who they ARE. I don't see how that is anything like a public discussion, even a scathing one, of anyone who has chosen to be a part of the entertainment world and pop culture. This happens every day around the world, here and in a thousand other places.
I'm reminded of that part in the funny Amy Schumer movie Trainwreck where a mother says I haven't explained to my child yet what gay people are!
Amy kind of makes a face and says, um, they're people? They're just people!
Last night dd came in from Target with a roll of brown paper and was wrapping gifts. I told her we had regular wrapping paper and she said she knew but was going for a "retro" look. Then she wrapped wide red and white striped ribbon and tag around it and it looks really cool that way

I LOVE the brown craft paper wrapped look. With a variety of plain, plaid, dotted, striped and other
patterned ribbons and cute tags, I think it's wonderful. Add a fire, a real tree and and lots of woodsy decorations and a den can be a ski lodge for a month or so. Oooooh, I can taste the mulled cider now.

Like beauty pageants and Toddlers and Tiaras? Oh, no way! Just school and church holiday programs/pageants and sometimes for us at home. She's into the fairy princesses and tea parties, girly things. It's a cute time of childhood and I'll be sad to see it end.

in shoeboxes, which I wrapped in plain brown paper. Then I used a free Harry Potter cursive font to print their names in sepia on white paper, and
glued the names to the boxes, and they look like old-fashioned packages. Simple but really cool!

Good lord, Gladys! Now we know why those neighbors packed up and left in the dark of night. Such a pest and busybody. Kate should thank her lucky stars that Kravitz lives in the deep south and not anywhere near her.
Something really is seriously wrong with her. A psychologist would have a field day. Can you imagine having her as a mother-in-law?

453 and 456 posts were not made by the verified JoyinVirginia. The real
JoyinVirginia has been busy in North Carolina since Friday AM.
Plus I think it's a terrific idea to book a flight to north Korea for tfmjg, maybe she could go on a date with Dennis Rodman, isn't he still best buddies with the head honcho there?
Oh, and I save the actual Sunday comics pages to use for wrapping paper. Have done that for years. Kids of all ages love it!
Christians criticizing Christians is a long tradition! Goes back thousands of gears, starting with what were the proper texts to consider authentic and what were apocryphal. Up until the present day when congregations argue among themselves!
So go ahead and criticize the "candy missions" because what people in underserved areas really need is dental service or clean water or ways to support themselves. Not these missionary tourists who don't actually do anything helpful.
Blogger ate my post! 453 and 457 were not posts by the usual JoyinVirginia and I appreciate admin removing them! Thank you!
It's less than a week before Christmas, do something fun! Wrap presents in comic pages! Plan a kitchen remodel (homme depot is having a sale on kitchen cabinets ordered between Dec 24 to Jan 3!)
Go to church! Put up those holiday decorations you delayed doing because it doesn't seem Christmasy yet.

Why? Because you're 9 years old and it's your bedtime.
Thanks, Jane. The "Cow". Never heard that name before but I do remember the very odd tweeting and then the person disappeared. Looks like the Cow is posting on the other site some vile stuff about a poster here. A troubled person playing both sides it appears. Reminds me of the nastiness on the RWA site.
Do we need to go back to posting with an image like I do and few others? Will that stop trolls?

OT-Not sure if this has been recommended before. If so, sorry. If you want to watch a real-life mystery tune into "Making of a Murderer" on Netflix. It's a series and true. It is spellbinding and very well done.
Jane, if you're out there, thanks for the "Detectorists" recommend. Really enjoyed it. Like you, I'm looking forward to Season 2 whenever that may be.
Sue_Buddy - I'm always out here :) Thanks for the recommendation. I've been looking for something to watch and will definitely tune in. Glad you enjoyed "Detectorists".

Will check it out. Watching S2 episodes of Brokenwood Mysteries, set in New Zealand. I'm so glad they got another season.
On a sad note, Getting On ended with S3. I could seriously cry that this show is over. The authenticity is unparalleled, if you've worked in a hospital or nursing home.
How the whole cast of characters was portrayed- the doctors, nurses and patients- was spot on.
No spoilers, but the ending will leave you needing tissues.

I don't think I was fully conscious of using the term "out here" but thinking about it, it does fit. The idea of floating through space is quite appealing. I'm going through one of those wonderful/terrible times - lots of good stuff, some anxiety producing stuff and then there's sadness. When I have an hour or so of down time, often when insomnia hits, I enjoy watching or reading the recommendations of many here.
Tucker's Mom - "Getting On" is one of a kind, IMO. Not on the scar of Breaking Bad, of course, but the honesty rings true and the acting is so beautiful. Laurie Metcalf is starring on Broadway with Bruce Willis in "Misery". That may be one to see!
Hello from another one of our "floating out there". I haven't connected with a good TV event for awhile. I always pay attention to the recommendations from you ladies.
I watched "Wild" during a sleepless AM a few nights ago. I was in the right mood for that movie. I plan to read the book.
I am working with a kinesiologist who has me rationing my time with my neck bent forward. That really limits reading, knitting and computer time. I manage!
I wish you all a merry 5 days before Christmas.
Dmasy (#104), so nice to see you posting! Sorry to hear about the neck issues.
If anyone's looking for some lighter TV fare, tonight is a "Sound Of Music" sing-along on ABC.
If TFW was really trying to promote her "brand,"
she'd be watching it with her brood tonight and posting about it. Which reminds me -- I don't believe for a second that she lets those boys
watch TV on her bed. Nope. Never. Even if
I saw a picture of it with my own eyes, I think she'd shove them right off the bed the second
after the picture was taken.
I watched the tribute to John Lennon's 75th birthday last night while wrapping gifts. The highlight of the show was Juanes' performance of 'Woman', imo. He has a lovely voice. The rest -- well -- didn't really seem to hit the mark. Anyone else watch?
Sorry about your neck Dmasy. You'll really enjoy reading "Wild" - much better than the movie I thought.
I have not seen the movie "Wild", but the book was very good.
Does anyone remember this old article about Kate filming her dates with men? I think she has been trying to pitch this fledgling idea for a very, very long time.

Admin--I believe that article refers to when Kate filmed her birthday episode in NYC. The one where Jamie went to the club with her, and that guy licked her foot.
Didn't Jamie say in the couch interview for that show that she'd scour the country looking for dates for Kate, or something similar?
The new show with her "blind" date is just another recycling of that show. This time it's Deanna, not Jamie, who is pushing her to date. Same old story, with new characters and format.

Jamie was heavily lobbying for a bff road show with Kate, being her sidekick and possibly matchmaker. I can't imagine that show has grown legs as Kate's grown longer in the tooth.
Also seems Jamie isn't at Kate's beck and call as much. That's Deanna's job now.

Last time I looked, she was a bunny!
From 2012:
Gosselin, who rose to fame on “Jon & Kate Plus 8” (later renamed “Kate Plus 8”) and the 10th season of “Dancing with the Stars,” is reportedly shopping her new series to various networks. The details of Kate’s show have not yet been confirmed, but a source told E! Online that the divorced mother of eight “finds it hard to meet men in her day to day life, and so a dating show will give her exactly the help she needs. She is willing to travel around the country in order to meet Mr. Right."
July 2012:
The other day, news broke that “Kate Plus 8” reality mom Kate Gosselin was in discussions to bring a dating show to the airwaves that would feature her quest for love.
It didn’t take long for Jimmy Kimmel to hear the news, and last night on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” the comedian offered his own promo on what the potential relationship series would look like.
Kimmel told audiences that he imagined that the show would be a “cross between ‘The Bachelorette‘ and ‘The Deadliest Catch‘” dubbed “Escape from Gosselin Island.” The promo then features Sarah Palin shooting tranquilizer darts into 12 unsuspecting random men who are then transported to a tropical island where the mother of eight then stalks her prey.
in the spoof, the men are “hunted like animals by Kate and her eight kids. Who will escape, who will perish and who will be captured and forced to marry Kate?”
She is willing to travel around the country in order to meet Mr. Right."
********
220, 221- whatever it takes. God bless her heart for the sacrifices she was willing to make.
For the sake of the children, of course.
It's always all about the kids.
Forget Mother Theresa. Kate should be made into a saint.
She is willing to travel around the country in order to meet Mr. Right."
*********
Well, I just bet she is!
Just think, first class airline seats, elegant hotel suites, kobe beef and fish in paper at will, and a
new set of finery for each evening out. Probably new luggage too. Yep, sign her up.

Does your daughter do those glitz pageants?
))))))))))))
Like beauty pageants and Toddlers and Tiaras? Oh, no way! Just school and church holiday programs/pageants and sometimes for us at home. She's into the fairy princesses and tea parties, girly things. It's a cute time of childhood and I'll be sad to see it end.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I KNEW when I read, Does your daughter do glitz pageants, I KNEW that you didn't, because the loving way you were talking and being such a good sport about your daughter staining the expensive dress with the pen ink.
A Glitz pageant mom would of had an meltdown about how expensive the dress was, can't fix it, have to buy another one, making the child feel like dirt.
Your daughter is very bless to have a mother like you. This is why TFW is going to have an epic fallout with the kids. It will be bad and super epic. And I hate that the kids will have to go through it, because they don't deserve it. We can see i t is festering worse everyday and one day it will come to a boil and boil over and I hope that all the kids are with Jon that day.
I would find it very hard to believe that there were any parents on here that would put their daughters through those kind of pageants like Alaina (Honey Boo Boo) was forced to do, because of all of our standing in agreement for the kids to get of the show. That is our #1 priority for the Gosselin kids is to get them off tv filming with their mother.
Remember a few years ago she was spotted filming something in a nightclub? Did that turn out to be celebrity wife swap or as that an attempt at a dating show?
Vanessa said... 137
She tweeted that when the kids were getting sick on the boat and she was in the middle of reeling in a fish and didn't stop to care for the kids it was because "the fisherman wouldn't take the rod" and "she felt so bad". That is an outright lie.
----
Well, maybe the "she felt so bad" part is a lie. But in all fairness, it's true that she said to the guy "can you take this" & instead he went over to check on Leah. He kept looking at the water - I think he could see how close she was to bringing the fish out of the water & was stalling to let her bring it in.
IMO Kate's love of deep sea fishing has more to do with being the center of attention on a boat with a bunch of men than actually catching fish.
I wonder if any of the G kids are Star Wars fans.
If so, I hope they get to go with their dad or their friends. I can't imagine TFW braving the crowds this weekend to take them. Odds are all 8 may not be interested. TFW usually attempts to makes them sound like they only exist as groups of 2 -- either the tups and the twins, or the boys and the girls. And of course when it comes to wanting to continue filming, they are that powerful group of one that votes a resounding YES every time.
Funny how the upcoming episode description said something like, the kids are starting to develop individual interests. This is a comment about 15-year-olds and 11-year-olds? Good heavens,
human beings do this from the very start of
their lives. Only a horrible mother like TFW
would neglect that precious individuality.

It's kind of funny that TFW LOOVVVES the Sound of Music. I'm watching it now and at one point the Captain asks Max "who will you be exploiting now?" after Max announces he has discovered a new talent. When Max says it's your family Captain is all no way you are not exploiting my kids. (Until they needed it for a ruse to escape the Nazis).

Right. I didn't hear a very detailed explanation of what exactly it was about the two times she's done deep sea fishing she loves so darn much. Elaborate, please. I do know it's flipping expensive.

Blogs on blogs. Absolutely forbidden on most other major blogs, and for good reason.
Admin (#136), I suspect it's also about having total control over another living creature, which seems to be what she digs about motherhood.
I can picture her reeling in a fish, letting it dangle, then looking it in the eye and saying,
"I'm in charge, and that's never gonna change!"
I might actually find her somewhat credible if she said I love deep sea fishing to catch my own dinner, and then taking it back and cooking it up two hours later. There's nothing fresher or better tasting. It's so different tasting than getting fish from the grocery store.
This is what chefs on the Food Network who do stuff like that rave about. For them, I understand the appeal of deep sea fishing. There is a logical reason behind it.
I guess my point is I think she just blurts out whatever, she loves this, she loves that, hates this hates that, without any substance behind it or much reasoning. Whatever thought pops into her head at the moment is what she says. On a different day, she may find herself hating deep sea fishing. That's just Kate.

I watched the midnight showing of Jill and Jessa: Counting On tonight.
My first reaction is that the siblings who were interviewed (Jana, John David, Joseph, Jill, Jessa,
Jinger, Josiah, Jedediah, Joy Anna) are not "over"
what Josh did to 5 girls long ago, they have simply been repressing their emotions. But they are all sticking to the platform that it was the rehash in the press that caused them such pain. They said they had moved on. It was clear to me, however, that they have not. They have finally been given a voice about how this "mistake" of Josh's left a lot of debris in its wake. This show was their microphone. Deny it or not, kids, you are not "over it". Nor should anyone expect you to be without proper psychological counseling.
BUT...the cheating on Anna thing has apparently fried their toast. Several of them mentioned how hard it was to discover someone you love is "not who you think they are." John David looked truly sad when he talked about how he had always looked up to Josh and had always wanted to be just like him. "The worst of it was that I had to tell my brother, 'I don't want to be like you anymore.'" John David's face was the face of a genuinely crushed man with a good serving of fury mixed in.
My non-Gothard style prayers continue to be with the innocents in that family.

Anxiously awaiting the recap. I went on YouTube and could only stomach 10 minutes. Even in that short time Mady complained how hot the beach was and also complained about the tie dying which she said they had all done before. Kate, on the couch, made it sound like she came up with the idea all by herself, LOL.
And it appears to me she's had recent injections of Juvederm on the sides of her mouth. I think that runs $1200-$1500 per visit. There is swelling the first week.
fidosmommy said... 148

******
The the tabloid snippets I've seen, I agree that Josh molesting 4 of his sisters and an unknown victim was way more than a 'hormonal teen" to them.
How can the normal boys look at Josh and not be sickened? Especially as they grow older and think about what happened to their sisters? Most normal brothers would want to punch the lights out of someone who violated their sisters like that.
That has to have left underlying anger towards Josh, and perhaps towards their parents.
TLC Stinks (#150), and as everyone knows, "Juvederm"
is Latin for "de-aging."
I think the Duggar parents have fostered an environment of protection for Josh, of doing their best to minimize it and make sure he gets through this all unscathed. The victims were not their priority and the victims know it.
That is a terribly unfriendly environment to a victim working out their emotions. None of them can possibly feel safe and comfortable to truly face their emotions without fear they are somehow betraying Josh or the family agenda. It's terribly dysfunctional, and we're looking at a lifetime of unresolved issues, sexual and otherwise, if the whole family doesn't get professional help immediately. It's that dire.
OK, I am watching this debacle on Youtube. She JUST said "Who is going fishing and who is staying home and cleaning the house?" This is here idea of the kdis "deciding" to go fishing. You know, kind of like "do you want to continue filming or stay at home and have no money and stare at the walls?"
local, I did not get that far, LOL. I can only take her in increments. What a choice: come out on a smelly, rocking boat and risk getting sick filmed or clean the beach house and prepare dinner. It's a VACATION, kids!!!! Put on your happy faces!
Localyocul (#155), or asking kids if they want to stay on the camping trip (where they were clearly having a ball) and be Palins, or leave and be Gosselins. If only they'd taken her up on that choice and stayed.
I also caught that Mady said she was great at making mac and cheese or frozen foods. Mmmhmmm
The water park is ridiculous. Who doesnt love a water park? So weird. Also she can't believe the little kids don't want to have to stay in a group. They're 11 not 5! I know it was a different time but we used to go to an amusement park, agree at a meeting point in the morning, and meet back at noon, from the time we were very little kids.
My impression is that Hannah and Collin are close. It makes sense now about that blowup Hannah had back at Jon's about not wanting to go home. She may be the one who told Jon how Collin is treated by his mother. She also opted not to go on the fishing trip. I think she is one to watch who will bail. Mady and Cara are just obnoxious. Kate is getting what she deserves from those two.

Who wants to stay and not be a Gosselin?
TLC is still showing these moments that show who Kate is. Why do people not believe it?
Just like when they were white water rafting and Kate told the kids there would be no dinner if they got her wet. She was not kidding and this wasn't the first time she punished them by denying them food.
Who does this to their children?
Kate seeks to punish, not discipline. It has always been within her power to stop the cycle of abuse, yet she refuses (because it's not her, never her).
I was absolutely stunned last night watching the Duggar special. Anna is going to stay with that slime ball she married. I would be very afraid for my children. I would never allow him to be anywhere near them alone. She must really be brainwashed by that cult. He broke the vows, not her. She needs counseling from a professional and needs to get away from that family. When is Jessa's husband going to get a job? Cutting grass for your father-in-law just doesn't cut it.

That's about average for a kid her age- functional in the kitchen. Not clueless, but not a gourmand.

Not a huge deal, but like everything else, just be honest.

I'm not surprised in the least. I highly doubt she'll get any real professional help, unless it's court ordered for the sake of the kids.
I think Josh has shown a clear pattern of acting out sexually, and that he should be closely supervised until it can be determined to some degree of reasonable satisfaction, that he is not a threat to his family.
I was absolutely stunned last night watching the Duggar special. Anna is going to stay with that slime ball she married. I would be very afraid for my children.
&&&&
The door is still open on CPS getting involved. I wouldn't be surprised if they have different thoughts than Anna on whether she can stay with that slimeball and still keep custody of her children.
I would be shocked at this point if CPS does not take a very close look at their family situation. Sex abuse cases are at the very top, top of their list.
They have to stay in a group so that they can be filmed as a group. If they all went off to do their own thing it would be too hard to get usable footage. It's not about TFW being able to watch them it's all about getting the footage so her fucketybillion fans can watch them.
Who doesnt love a water park?

Me. I do not love a water park. No matter how much SPF 50 I slathered on, I and two of my children burned. I also did not enjoy the constant "Mom, can I have a dollar for...". Yet, we had - and used - season passes every summer when the kids were young enough to be seen with family. That's what mediocre moms do.
I got past the fishing. Last time for that because Leah and Alexis were adamant they will never go again. So now Kate adores the water and fishing but years ago she hated to get wet. Amazing what a pool in your backyard will do for you!
I have arrived. I got an honorable mention on another blog.

Me four or more, lol. It really is a lame blog. Commenting on comments. I wonder why some posters from here enjoy it? Oh well, to each her own.
I have enjoyed the wrapping discussion here and also the pen stain tips- can be used for a stain on anything, doesn't have to be a pageant dress as that blog is laughing about.
Kind of mean about the pageant dress. IMO.

Haha Suspended. Again.
Why don't you ask what a certain husband thinks of me? A Catholic.
He spews vitriol.
-------------
Why don't you ask me what I, a fundamentalist, think of you a Catholic? Or Catholic's in general for that matter. I think you would be surprised.
I don't know if blogger ate the first one or if I just missed reading it somewhere. Sorry if it's twice.
I rarely defend my position or thoughts on the matter of religion on this blog because in the past I held to, what I thought was the, "don't talk religion or politics", suggested policy. Also, I had noticed that if I did defend and post "MY" opinion in any depth, there are some who would just blast me with an agenda other than defending "their" opinion. I don't care if it's fifty or one, it is still uncomfortable, scary and hurts that others don't respect you enough to allow you to say...what...a few words? More likely than not people are not trying to change you, just voicing their understanding of the topic discussed.
Because I'm REALLY tired of reading, having to scroll or ignore and really liking so many on this blog, I am breaking my silence. I won't use anonymous like I did in the past as to "save face", but under "njay" so you know my real feelings.
I am not out to blast any ONE person but I often don't agree with the passive aggressive direction in which the blog can have a great tendendancy to evolve sometimes. I agree that during the recaps, Admin has a great talent for letting you see the story through her descriptive writing. Her adjectives can sure be a nose, mouth, drink spitting, choking experience indeed. In my opinion name calling in descriptive writing is appropriate. (nyahaaa with caution) I also think that jocularity, in moderation, is another place it's appropriate. I think the tone it is used in is the most important measure of it is appropriateness. When it turns into a put down, I think that is where it crosses the line of being appropriate and can become a form of bullying if used recklessly. When any words are use to try to change or turn around the mind or feelings of others to think ill of, it becomes a slippery slope and is unfair.
Well enough on that subject. I think you know what I'm trying to say. Bottom line…can we please stop with the name calling? It is uncomfortable to read and makes this blog seem like it's veering towards the format of the other blogs out there. You ladies and gents have proven to me that you are too educated and classy for that.
Me. I do not love a water park. No matter how much SPF 50 I slathered on, I and two of my children burned.

Me. Let me qualify that. I love a water park for myself, a friend or another adult, but not for young kids. I totally lose it if I can't find my kids in the sea of other kids there. I just don't know who is lurking about and one of my big fears is finding that one of the kids has gone missing, no matter how old they are. I'm not a helicopter parent by any means, nor must I be in control of every situation, but water parks with kids is something I don't do, even if I would have other adults along to watch them. It's just too difficult keeping an eye on kids when they are off in all directions. But that's just me.
I would be shocked at this point if CPS does not take a very close look at their family situation. Sex abuse cases are at the very top, top of their list.
&&&&&
Here's the thing, too. How could you ever trust him, even if he did get counseling/professional help? I know that I couldn't. I'd be watching him like a hawk around my children, if he's changing diapers, putting the kids to bed, etc. Maybe it's just my very cautious nature, but gosh, I don't think I could live that way even if a professional told me that he was "cured" and it was totally safe for him to be around children. I could never be absolutely, one hundred percent sure of it.
I was always nervous about my kids in crowds, and Kate may be concerned like any mom, but I agree keeping them together is more about logistics for filming. At some point she's going to have to get comfortable with letting go and allowing the kids some independence, like not accompanying them to the movies. Drop them off and pick them up like everyone else. But I get it about the anxiety of keeping track of your kids in a crowd (or was the park cleared for them?). If a section was cleared for them to film, then it was all about the cameras and Kate acting like a mother hen. In that case, she was faking it.

LOL! You just have to consider the source, the intellectual level, the Double Digit Club members, and laugh it off! Que sera sera!
Somewhere In Time (#178), it seems like a woman's feelings and fears are not of any consequence to
this particular sect. So if she's afraid and
untrusting, well, tough. She's supposed to "keep sweet," so she'll continue to smile through her doubts. Allrighty, then.

You're not alone. Many mothers who discover this about their husbands leave them for good, unable to ever trust them again. They seek monitored visits for the father either through family court or through CPS courts, and will get it. This is called protecting your child.
The problem is more and more research is suggesting you CAN'T cure sex abuse like this, that there is no cure and that treatment is ineffective. But you at least need an evaluation of him to see where he's at. Evaluations done on men like him are hundreds of pages long and involve multiple interviews and psychological tests. I really doubt that Duggar child has had anything extensive like that that could set a mother's mind at ease.
At least if she had an evaluation backing her up, one that has a professional who has opined he is safe around children, then she could point to that as a reason she is allowing him back. Of course she hasn't sought out an opinion from a sex abuse professional. She's never mentioned anything of the sort.
Anna has nowhere to go in her mind. She has family, shelter, food, clothing- everything she's incapable of providing for her children.
She's beholden to Jim Bob, the man who has allowed her husband to not only go unchecked, but who molded him into the patriarchal, misogynistic, predatory prick she married.
She has no idea how controlled she is.
What's the end game? The more she is beholden to this family, the slimmer the chance she'll ever break free.
It's a sick circle of control and abuse.

"I KNEW when I read, Does your daughter do glitz pageants, I KNEW that you didn't, because the loving way you were talking and being such a good sport about your daughter staining the expensive dress with the pen ink. "
------------
Thanks for the kind words, redbird. There are no competitive pageants here. It wouldn't happen, even if the girls wanted to do it. The same goes for reality television. I've seen photos and videos of Jon Benet and other young Tiara girls and there is no way we would permit putting any children on display like that. I am strongly against it. I've always looked at those mothers as living through their daughters. The sexualization of it is just so, well, creepy. Let kids be kids. They grow up all too fast. Let them enjoy their childhood doing what all kids do, ink stains and all.
Back in the day I did the pageant thing. Was it a good experience? Yes and no, but I won't get into that. I was talked into it by my best friend who was Miss (insert state), and I was in grad school at the time. It seemed like it would be beneficial to hopefully win some scholarship money. Some fun times, but not something in which I would allow a child to participate.

I don't know what blog it might be and I don't have a Twitter account, but I do read Kate's timeline. It doesn't sound like those are posters who would be able to discuss Hillary's role in Benghazi, Space X, the Iran nuclear deal or the Yemen crisis. Then again, who knows? Whatever floats their boats. Water seeks its own level. Perhaps one of these days some of the fans will be able to figure out "dismissed with prejudice" and "dismissed without prejudice" and the procedures a court follows for assessing child support payments. They did seem to have problems with that for some time. Let them laugh. It's good for the soul!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are so welcome, Serendipity. I took my oldest DS who was I think 4 (almost 30 yrs. ago) at the time for a little contest at Walmart just for fun and had never done anything like that before. When I got there to sign him up I found out the boys and girls were competing against each other, a cute kid contest.
What I witnessed right before they started was so shocking. A mother came in walking kind of fast CARRYING her son who was laying across her arms, with his eyes closed and mouth open and arm dangling. He looked so sick! She had his Sunday clothes on him. The way she did it reminded me of when you take your child into the ER with a panicked look on your face and are looking for help for your sick child.
She was running late and she was trying to get him signed up, but, he wasn't even waking up. He finally woke up. I don't remember if he was even in it and I was just glad it was over with. I swore right there I wouldn't do anything like that again.
Until years later and another ds. I told him there was a Huckleberry Finn look alike contest and I knew that he would win. They had a great prize package but he wouldn't wear the overalls, straw hat and with a piece of straw hanging out of his mouth. lol
Oh, gosh. What a day! If ever there were a time to join the ladies under the veranda for a drink or two, this is it! Yesterday I spent eight hours wrapping toys for our distribution, and today we delivered them, along with boxes of food. It's a job, but so rewarding. I thought about Kate and how she claimed she was addicted to giving back, her charity thing a few years ago. We could have used her help packing food and making sure it got to where it was supposed to go! At least the weather cooperated and it wasn't snowing or brutally cold. Weather forecast is for the low 70s on Christmas Eve, shattering all records here. I have a feeling that we will pay for this in February, but for right now, it's wonderful.

I was wondering about this, admin. I don't know what is involved in professional therapy for something like that, but is it possible to "fake" a cure? Could the therapist give an all-clear evaluation but be duped into thinking that his children are safe with him? I wouldn't trust him to be around my kids, no matter if he had been rehabilitated or not. I guess that's just the Mama Grizzly coming out in me. This guy sounds like a real sleaze ball and might be able to pull the wool over the eyes of a therapist.
PA Dutch Mutt Mom (#185), gosh, if you didn't get
TFW to help you out, you have only yourselves to blame. Did you have a camera crew there? A production assistant to fetch Starbucks and salads? A nice comfy chair for her blue-shirted handler?
And, best of all, a big ol' gift bag for her
to tote home as a thank you? TFW's addiction to giving has MANY strings attached, and you clearly did not do your homework.
A virtual Rumspringa to you for all your hard work!

Josh wasn't just copping a feel, he groomed his 5-year old sister just like a pedophile.
The former is bad enough (especially considering his targets were his own sisters), but the latter put Josh into sex offender territory for me.

lol, no! Just some cold pizza, and I'm not sure how many hands touched it because it wasn't in foil, and two #bathroombreaks, Milo, in case you are interested. You know that commercial where the fat little red bladder drags the woman around and she says it's time to see her doctor? I kept looking around for him because I really needed to go again by the end of the day!
My legs aren't working very well right now. I'm afraid if I get myself under the veranda I may be not be able to climb out for quite some time and I'll miss Christmas altogether.
Hard work today and very tiring, but worth every bit of it. I love this time of the year. The smiles on kids' faces say it all.

Ok blog detectives,we have another case of "What is Kate up to"cause this woman just tweeted this about her husband getting gifted by Kate her cinnamon rolls and of course milo had to butt in.Here's the tweet Amanda Ashlee @oxamandurrxo 3h3 hours ago
@Kateplusmy8 My boyfriend is your garbage man and we wanted to thank you so much for these! So tasty! God bless
I am not surprised Anna is willing to stand by the pervert, but I am terribly disappointed. Married and 3 children, no career, she's trapped. I was really hoping she would escape Duggar-dome.

This is my opinion only, but no I don't think most people can fool good evaluators. I've done a lot of research about what goes into a good sex abuse evaluation. One of the biggest issues we face in this system is whether a man who only molests little girls would then present a danger to his own son, or vice versa. And that's where you get into very interesting sex abuse theories about whether someone might do that if little girls suddenly became unavailable, the low likelihood most perps are willing to engage in incest, etc.
It's not a therapist sitting there saying yes my hunch says they will reoffend or not reoffend. Rather it's mostly lengthy, complicated psychological testing.
One test I had explain to me by a sex abuse evaluator once is one in which they predict whether you will reoffend based on how you answer a series of questions. But even the evaluator doesn't know the implications of each question because they don't want to taint the examination. You give them the test then it is scored and the evaluator sees the results. To put it simply, if a question asks if you like the color blue and you say yes and 75% of perps say yes too, then you get a higher score, and on it goes.
Sometimes you get dueling sex abuse evaluators who don't like each other's tests. That's always fun.
Anywho, all interesting stuff and the professionals are working like mad to get these tests as perfect as possible. So yes, Josh should go through an evaluation and no, it's unlikely he could scam it.
The biggest problem of all is that to the best of our knowledge Josh has not had any such evaluation. Come on, if he had, they would say so. They would say the professionals have cleared him now leave us alone. My strong hunch is they don't dare have him go through that and have it come out not in his favor.
First, not sure I believe the tweet about the garbage man getting her cinnamon rolls.
Second our garbagemen whip down my street so fast throwing those bins into the truck I don't have any confidence they would notice a tray of cinnamon rolls on top of the nasty garbage can or worse yet would mistake it for something meant to be in the bin and toss it inside. Does it really work to leave something like that out for them?
admin, I thought you might find this interesting. We are a litigious society. Does the plaintiff have standing for this one?

I've been following that saga for years.
Of course they have standing. They were students, engaged with the school's career department which made certain promises to them that did not bear out. Standing all around. The question is, were those promises misleading or so inaccurate they violated state or federal law. It looks like, maybe!
The article does a pretty fair job of explaining what's been going on these past several years. This is way more than a millennial whining he can't get a job. This is a shady low ranked school outright lying about their employment statistics in order to lure in students who might otherwise have chosen a different school or taken a different path all together if the school were being honest.
I would like to see for profit and unaccredited law schools done away with. Or everyone needs to be for profit. The mix of the two has been very detrimental.
If you don't go to an accredited law school in this state your stats for passing the bar are abysmal. Another stat the schools misrepresent.
That said, you will almost certainly need to pound the payment these days if you want a job in the legal field. That may even mean working for free for awhile and contrary to popular belief few people make big bucks anymore. After the student loan payment is taken care of for that month, most starting salaries barely provide for necessities.
Few schools will paint such a dire picture, but Thomas Jefferson crossed a line. I had no problem with my school's career department. They got me thinking outside the box, convinced me I was being too picky, and encouraged me to apply more broadly. That led me to foster care law, which I was not, at the time, actively seeking out, and thus an incredibly fulfilling career.
These days, you should only go into law if this is your true passion. There's a good chance you'll work long hours, spend a lot of time staring at Microsoft word, and never make what people think you do. And maybe it's a good thing to weed out those who are not in here because it's truly a calling.
