The end of summer means it's time for the kids to go back to school, so Kate takes them shopping for clothes and supplies, and they all work together on one more seasonal project.
Patricia Chow @PatriciaChow1 Jan 13 Las Vegas, NV @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 @grisel1018 I saw them @ a show here,@ the Brad Garrett show & I have friends who were there too !! ========= We all saw the picture of them at the Brad Garrett show in LV and they did look like a couple. I remember that we discussed it at the time. She'd been invited out for her birthday.
"That's what a person does when they spend their hard earned money and not somebody else's."
))))
Yes. One of my mother's favorite sayings was, "It's easy to spend somebody else's money."
If you have to ask how much something costs then you can't afford it. I guess as long as TLC is footing the bill, she can get away with just grabbing and going.
We will have to see the dating episode to see if it was scripted & rehearsed. From the several clips we have seen so far, it has been so uncomfortable & awkward. The opposite of that. For instance, the goodnight scene. If this guy is an actor then I say it will be made known by him, TLC, or Kate. Otherwise, it would be too risky because how embarrassing would it be for him to appear on our screens in a tv show OR even for somebody who knows him to let it out of the bag he is a unknown actor. I think somebody hear floated that idea and others are latching on to it. And I think tons of men would love to be on tv dating Kate.
Milo is obsessed with Kate's body, but I don't think it's a sexual thing. Milo envies Kate's body. Milo has described herself as petite, like 100 lbs. I don't believe that for a minute. I think she's a fattie with no friends.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 You know you have 2have a pretty firm figure to wear #SweaterPants! Not for everybody for sure! You rocked those! Go get 'em!
This has to be a man or she's still in the closet. No woman talks like this. This is not just a girl crush. She/he is obsessed with Kate's body. If I were Kate, this would scare me.
----- -----
Go get whom, Milo? At one time I believed that she was a wife and a mother who was just an obsessed fan. Now I am not so sure. This may be far out there, but remember that photo of the guy on a motorcycle? He was wearing tassel loafers and argyle. There was also a picture of a male in a hospital bed with an air cast (or something) on his foot. Could that actually be Milo and she tweeted those pictures to convince people that there is a LOM?
There is a reason why she refuses to meet Kate, why she asked how Kate would she would envision her if the two would meet, and also what Kate expects from a prospective suitor. That is just bizarre, and I'm wondering if Milo was asking for herself/himself.
I don't know. I am not going to lose any sleep over it, but when Milo makes such insane tweets I am curious about her/him. If there really is a hubs and kids, do they know about this unnatural lusting, and furthermore, do they care?
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack @deannatweeting @Pumpkinbottom3 @Kateplusmy8 After you girls get settled, meet #MrDeckster & hang out for a while, let's have a #TweetParty!
Still hanging on to Deckster and now invites Jamie and Deanna to meet it. Who or what *is* this nutjob?
----- -----
She so badly wants to be a part of Kate's circle of friends, if that is what you can call it. Gladys is pathetic. I mean, really a sad little person. She craves attention so much that she can taste it. She is not one of them.
Milo, you read here. We know that you do. For your own sake, get help with this. It is not normal. It is not cute. It is not funny, and nothing good can come out of it.
Thank you TLC.....I found Mady's statement regarding not knowing that jeans came in different lengths VERY telling! She said she's always HAD to cuff her pants because they were too long. TFW has bought those kids clothes too large and all the same since they were babies. I think she comes home from target clearance sales with mass quantities of bargains,rips the tags off and tells them what they are wearing. Mady has her number. TFW was in her element at the boutiques on TLCs dime and she couldn't help making it about her. Even in Roberts book she practically orgasmed every time she shopped at Ann Taylor loft and said she spent at least $500 a week on their clothing and would call TLC for more gift cards. Mady was old enough then to notice what a greedy hound her mother is and now she's smart assy enough to call her out on it on national tv. I think Mady knew exactly what she was doing when she was telling America from the couch that she didn't even know jeans came in lengths. She's telling us that she KNOWS she's a commodity to her mother. That it's all about her mother...and when the cameras aren't rolling, she doesn't get to go shopping and pick things out...it's only when it's on camera and atLC is paying for it.
.I found Mady's statement regarding not knowing that jeans came in different lengths VERY telling! She said she's always HAD to cuff her pants because they were too long.
================
I googled images of Mady and didn't see any where the jeans were cuffed. I won't link the photos, but there numerous ones online and the jeans definitely weren't cuffed, so I don't know what she's talking about. In fact, none of the kids' jeans are cuffed, not even the boys' denims.

I wonder if Mady's been waiting for the day when she could start telling that camera how things really are in that family without her mother sitting next to her and correcting her every word the way she did with Jon.
What poetic justice it would be if Mady is the final undoing of this circus.
Gladys doesn't get that tweet parties are for Tuesday nights, to garner publicity for the show. She thinks TFW is just chit-chattin' with her gal pals for fun. And we're supposed to be the pathetic ones with no lives?
How long will it take before the nonfans starts pestering Eaves with the questions about freebies, grifting, how can you sell to Kate, etc? I am surprised that it has taken this long.

************ Does this sound like Deanna and Pumkinbottom are going to PA for a visit? "Settle in", gathering on the deck?
I truly hope Kate does have friendships that are genuine, and that any visit from friends is not just to show something off or to have unpaid workers for home projects/cleaning/lugging stuff.
Fidosmommy (#18), somehow I doubt that TFW is capable of genuine reciprocal friendship. Sure, I can see her talking and laughing with these women, but listening to their problems? Offering support when they're facing hard times? Reading emotions that are below the surface, rather than taking reactions at face value? All of that requires an investment of time and energy, and I just don't see that coming from TFW. Heck, she can barely be bothered making that effort with her own kids.
FlimseyFlamsey, I'm just saying I wish friends for her. Adult conversation and time spent together doesn't have to include problem sharing or listening with a sympathetic ear. Sometimes friends are people (for example) you meet for Sunday brunch, play tennis with, talk about the latest movies with, just having fun the only real expectation. I consider those friendships to be genuine too. They are casual but still important and worth putting effort into. Everyone needs those people, IMO, and I wish them for Kate.
Close friends for Kate may be a whole horse of a different color, but I wish those for her too.
Unless it was someone you grew up with, a bond formed from an early age, I don't know why anyone would want to be a friend to an unyielding, demanding, abusive adult. Whoopie and Anderson immediately saw through her bs. I think we all know someone who seems nearly incapable of telling the truth it's uncomfortable to be around them, but it's a coworker or an acquaintance. You don't call them on it, but you begin to avoid them, and as you walk away you ask yourself why you didn't call them on it! I imagine being a friend to Kate is like that, all the time. That and a lot of chores.
TLC Stinks, be nice. I'm a fattie with no friends. Wait! Maybe I'm Milo! No. I couldn't keep up kissing Kate's ass for very long.
I think Kate always overbought clothes. You don't need your kids to try on jeans when you can just get each kid two sizes of each style on TLC's dime. Hold a pair up to the kid and say that one fits then sell the rest. And she very well may have a tailor on call along with her other help.
I'm not sure the bad makeup is all Deanna's fault. I think either Kate or Steve or both tell Deanna what to do and she obeys. Kate thinks she looks fabulous. That's obvious. Deanna should walk away and that's her own fault. The rest is Kate.
It says something that you have a person who grew up in the area, attended school, worked, family nearby; and where is this support group? They do not exist. There is a reason for that.
If this isn't scary, I don't know what is! Found on a fan page.
I have a little story to tell y'all!
Recently I moved to an area close to the Little Couple's house. I am a huge fan; however, like a normal human, I don't know where they live.
Today, I was driving around trying to find my closest Target when I accidentally missed the entrance and randomly turned into a neighborhood to turn around. As I tried to find my way out, I actually drove past their beautiful house. Will was even playing outside! It was super cool.
Just thought I'd share smile emoticon
EDIT: He was not outside alone. His nanny, Kate, was watching him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a 21 yr. old girl who says she graduated college already and is going to medical school. She also posted a picture of Will on the side walk but I don't see the nanny anywhere around him. There are some quacks on there saying how wonderful it was and one said HE, a grown man would be too shy to stop and ask for an autograph!
If pumpkin bottom were indeed visiting Kate (funny Milo brings this up after we discussed her), then they are filming, IMO. Or maybe it's just brainstorming to come up with new episodes. Be afraid, my friends. 2016 will be a big filming year with Sweet 16.
The Admin of the fan page put this about seeing Will:
Katherine what a fabulous real life story to share with everyone!! Thank you!!!
Someone then posted a picture of where they go to buy their pet supplies.
Posts:
You're right. You did nothing illegal. Why do people have to be so negative. Smh
A lady posted a picture of 3 women standing in front of the pet store they own.
Post: We have been to their pet store - it has great high end products- fun store.
Here are posts about the Sister Wives:
XXX I live near the Sister Wives. I've driven by their houses a few times but nobody's been out. We have seen Meri at Walmart, Janelle and a couple of the kids at IHop, the whole family at the airport, and numerous times at In & Out. The fun part of watching the show is seeing where they go......"Hey! I was there yesterday."
XXX Yeah, I've had the same experience. I've seen Meri at Albertson's., Truly and her Grandma at McDonald's., and my Mom saw all four wives and Cody about a year ago at the Cheesecake Factory. I WISH I knew where they lived. We have often wondered that (do tell - I promise not to stalk them). lol
And there she goes, telling exactly where they live!
XXX St. just West of ***. Meri's house backs up to *** St. Robin ' s backs up to ***, Janelle ' & Christie's back up to *** St.
Then Miss Information is on a roll with where the Property Brothers live!
FYI ~ Property Brothers live on *** St. off of *** St between *** and ***. Off of the ***.
TLC stinks (#28), I think you're right. That heifer seems to be here to stay. She'll probably manage to score a "posh" TLC-funded 16th birthday bash, as well as a car (or cars) for the twins. Or maybe a big vacation that TFW can take them on (the Montana women can come watch the tups).
If TFW really wanted big ratings, she'd let their dad come to the party! Oh, never mind, their crew daddies will be there -- working the cameras and the microphones.
Redbird (#29), wow, those were some disturbing posts. That poor little boy, innocently playing outside his house, and being photographed like a circus animal. This isn't Justin Bieber -- it's a child who did not sign up for this. Creepy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My gosh, what a great idea. She and TLC would milk that till the cow squealed! Talk about a ratings. It would probably sustain the Little Couple's lead in numbers. This would be a good way to keep her on.
What were the numbers when Jon came to the yard sale?
I just saw the clip for the "TV event of the yeat". Kate is air hugging her kids, they want a hug, so the group of them gather around Kate and she doesn't even touch them. Her arms are in the air but not on them. Mady makes the proclamation that Kate deserves some happiness. That sure looked sincere.
Also, that date looks odd. He looks like an actor or at best a friend of one of the crew. He does not look comfortable and that helicopter ride was not cheap. Thanks TLC for the beautiful fun filled date. Riveting.
These fans think they can invade their privacy anyway, anywhere at anytime.
A video that has went viral shows a young man dressed up with big security guards, a camera crew, 2 or 3 paps snapping his picture as he was walking down the street and they were mobbed.
A reporter (in on the experiment) has a mike and was asking people who that was and it was all over the place who they thought it was. They were naming movies he "was in" and girls, even guys were clambering to get near him to get their picture made with him.
They went all out on this. People are just crazy around celebs.
@TLC stinks i do agree about the fact there will be a sweet 16 special for the twins.However i do also think TLC is at a point where Kate demands way to many things from them and i don't believe TLC would buy 6 expensive cars when the tups turn 16.Heck i don't think TLC will be around(hopefully)at that point since the twins will be gone and will not want to film unless Kate bribes them with something.I think you could be right in saying giving it 1 more year.Cause i doubt TLC will continue IF the twins don't want to film and i don't see them calling the show Kate plus 6.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack @deannatweeting @Pumpkinbottom3 @Kateplusmy8 After you girls get settled, meet #MrDeckster & hang out for a while, let's have a #TweetParty! ===========
This is just another example of Milo butting into a conversation in which she was not included.
Deanna tweeted Jamie:
Deanna Bell @deannatweeting · 20h20 hours ago @Pumpkinbottom3 @Kateplusmy8 We need to plan a visit at the same time so we can all hang out!
If they were to visit Kate at the same time, I'm sure the last thing on their minds would be that they should have a tweet party.
Before the tweet party last Tuesdday, Kate was following 321 tweeters. After the tweet party, she was following 324, so she only added 3 people to her follow list.
During the previous tweet parties, she ended up following approximately 14-20 people, yet last week she only followed 3.
Seems like Kate is getting bored of having to live tweet and follow people to promote the show. This was the first week that she didn't announce "tweet a quote for a follow".
Cause i doubt TLC will continue IF the twins don't want to film and i don't see them calling the show Kate plus 6.
--------------------
If Kate is holding it over their heads that if they don't film then they will lose their home and all the perks that go along with filming, plus possibly having to change schools, then I bet that they won't refuse to film. Moreover, I have no idea if filming all eight of them is in the contract, but if it is then I can't see that they have much of a choice.
I guess creepy fans have been around forever. Years ago, when I first had access to the world wide web, I was excited to find an internet group of fans of the "Karen" books by Marie Killilea. Shortly afterwards, one of the members excitedly shared that she had met Karen at James Killilea's (the patriarch of Karen's family) funeral, which she had attended specifically to meet the Killileas and get autographs. I was stunned. If that wasn't horrific enough, most of the group applauded her "gutsiness". Ugh. I couldn't unsub fast enough.
Regarding Milo and her strange phraseology: firm figure, prospective suitor, physique, naysayer, slacks, etc. Is this still common in the South? The last time I heard "suitor" was when my grandmother used the term and I was in high school. Aren't those old-school descriptions?
I haven't watched any of the episodes but have looked at some of the clips. I did turn on the little couple once (kept it on mute and watched something on my iPad) and then changed the channel when K+8 came on. I haven't done that again because why give any TLC show ratings. I do follow the Twitter feed but have never commented. My question is do you really think TLC would buy cars for the twins? I just don't see it. I also don't see any car manufacturers providing the cars for publicity. As I said, I don't watch. Do that have any big name product placement like they did in her glory years? I'm not talking about advertisers because as we've learned they really don't have much control over when their commercials air.
fade2black said... 41 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Interesting and I share your disgust at autograph-seeking at a funeral.I was an avid Karen reader and read about various tragedies that stuck the family: many people have tried to contact Karen. She begs for privacy and I can tell how much this means to her. While I would love to have a followup on her life, I realize she was the subject of 3 books based on her childhood, medical condition and family life. These things should be private further to what her mother wrote, and especially her adult life if this is what she wishes.
Formerly Duped said... 44 ----------------------------------- I agree. Karen has clearly indicated that she wishes privacy and without question that desire should be respected. Her story was compelling, but it was actually her mother's story about her and should remain so unless she chooses otherwise.
It's hard to comprehend the many tragedies that have touched that family.
Three friends/relatives all think I named my daughter after them, but she's really named for Karen Killilea. Aside from respecting the person, I just like the name. I hope that's not creepy, I didn't have her name tattooed on me or anything.
fade2black said... 45 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ lol, glad you don't have a tat of her name! And I also like that name.
I read the two main books but not Wren, the children's version, or Newf. I came across the fire incident reports and pictures through the group you mentioned although I did not join it.I did find out that Gloria and her mother had some kind of estrangement There were old photos and some older information, but that's as far as my sleuthing went. I hope Karen remains well and content in her life, and he privacy is maintained.
Diane @dtetz45 1h1 hour ago @Kateplusmy8 watched your back to school episode. Can u tell me what store you bought the backpacks in please? 💛
Kate should just post a listing of everything on her shows...her tops, dresses, sweaters, girls' jeans, swim suits, purses, nail polish, backpacks, kitchen counters, outdoor furniture, rugs, bedding sets, grills, etc., and where they were purchased. Obviously the needy sheeple can't google.
Midnight Madness (#47), I think these fans just make stuff up to try to get a response from TFW. Imagine how a crumb of attention from the world's greatest mom would make -- to steal part of the "Friends" theme lyrics -- their day, their week, their month, or even their year!
There have been a few comments about Kate's hair and her not washing it. I don't think that's the case. I think it's exactly the opposite. It looks like she washes it quite a bit but over-conditions it. Depending on the product she's using, how long she leaves it in and if she doesn't completely wash it out, it will look just like it looks now...greasy and stringy and weighed down.
She would look so much better if she chopped off that mess to just above shoulder length, added low lights, toned it down and layered it. With her long face, all it it doing is making her look so much older. Can't she look into the mirror and see that? Isn't there anyone who can advise her on an up-to-date style? That Peggy Lipton look went out decades ago.

************
Do you mean like any old crumb will do? That's most likely true for the majority of them, but you'd think that they would see that she's not responding to any of it and would just walk away.
How many times did that one person tweet about the top Kate wore when she was grilling? She had purchased the Block Party dress and tweeted a picture of herself in it, calling the two of them twins, so I think that some of them really do have a Single White Female going on with Kate. They want what Kate has. Gladys wants all that, and Kate, too.
@Flimsyflamsy You're correct because i remember Gladys tweeting to Kate about how her house was flooded and for some reason she decides to tweet to Kate for help.1st off,why would anyone tweet a stranger that lives far from you for help?if your house was flooded,you decide to tweet 2 a stranger instead of helping your family?I've got no idea what she expected Kate to do.Drive all the way to where she lives and get TLC to help her?SMH i can't think of any reason why she'd tweet Kate about that.If her house was truly flooded and she decided to just tweet to Kate instead of helping her family with it then this shows milo cares more about Kate's reaction to it then her own family.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I remember years ago TFW's picture was in an article. On the side it had the top she had on and the name of the designer and the price and on the other clothes, shoes, purse.
It just infuriated me because they were expensive when she was supposedly "piecing and a patching".
Redbird (#52), and don't forget the famous "purse full o' bills." Poor, poor Kite! How someone with a freaking bodyguard on her payroll got away with crying poverty is a mystery. Just gives you an idea of the gullibility of her fans.
I agree that she over conditions her hair, thus the greasy look. She has to condition it because she's ruined it by so much coloring and straightening.

&&&&&&&&&&
I agree. I think that's exactly what she does. I have never seen Kate's hair look grimy dirty in need of a washing...oh, a little strubbly maybe, but not like she doesn't wash it. I also have never seen her to look like she doesn't shower or that her personal hygiene is bad. Then again, I don't check her out closely enough to see if she passes the sniff test.
Kate is not a stunningly beautiful woman. She is not gorgeous. However, with some professional advice on make-up and such, she could be an attractive 40-year old. She has not de-aged, even though she believes otherwise. She tries too hard, and in doing so, she's just making herself look older than she is. Nobody is going to tell her any differently, though, so in years to come she will look like Baby Jane Hudson. Bring on the thick make-up and slap a bow in her hair and paint those lips. It's a shame, really, because she is naturally pretty. She has nice features and a good bone structure. The Hollywood glam look that she's trying to pull off just isn't working for her -- in fact, it's working against her.
You're correct because i remember Gladys tweeting to Kate about how her house was flooded and for some reason she decides to tweet to Kate for help.
*************
From what I remember, Milo wasn't asking Kate to actually physically help, but for sympathy and to get a response. She didn't, as far as I know, ask Kate to come to repair her broken whatever, but tweeted to tell Kate that these things happen to her and she can also sympathize with Kate when Kate has maintenance issues (dishwashers, water pipes, well pumps, dryer filters).
Poor, poor Kite! How someone with a freaking bodyguard on her payroll got away with crying poverty is a mystery. Just gives you an idea of the gullibility of her fans.
***************
Was it Kate's responsibility to pay for Steve's services (okay, maybe that's poorly worded!) when they were being filmed, or was Steve under contract to TLC and as an employee, the network took care of his paycheck?
Midnight Madness (#58), if it was while she was still working for TLC, he may very well have been on their payroll. But if she WAS filming, then there's no way she was walking around with a purse full of bills. It's her playing victim that rankles, when she's been living a lifestyle for a decade which most people only dream of.
I didn't see Kate and Shoka among the runners. There were 217 runners and 63 dogs in the event. Of course, it would have been difficult to scooter-train Shoka:
"Runners, and their dogs, hit Lancaster County Central Park for Polar Bear 5K"
Has she gotten tired of her whole running shtick? We never hear anything about it.
I think I told the story before about how once when I was nannying, two French fans visiting Los Angeles rang the call box at the gate. I'm pretty sure celeb wasn't home but the kids were. A family member went out and talked to them and they left. I think if it were up to me I would have just called the police.
I don't know why something like that took the cake for creep factor, but it really did. I think it was the only time I was truly scared. I also felt it was just very unfair for the children to have people showing up at the door to their private residence asking for their parent. It's their safe haven too. That's very different than a fan perhaps approaching the family in the grocery store or a movie theater or the airport bathroom, which I also saw but was way less bothered by.
If Kate is holding it over their heads that if they don't film then they will lose their home and all the perks that go along with filming, plus possibly having to change schools, then I bet that they won't refuse to film.
&&&&&
I could be totally wrong but I think the twins are too smart to fall for that. Or, they won't fall for that soon. They know Kate loves those perks as much as they do and that even if they all refuse to film, Kate will figure out some way to keep it all. Actually that's probably going to be the last thing to go, realizing that Kate has nothing on them. Absolutely nothing. Not even the house and perks.
The next recap should be ready tomorrow or Monday, apologies for being a little behind!
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Thanks, admin. Looking forward to it. You got "a little behind" in your work? LOL! In this neck of the woods, folks say that they have a horse with a buggy behind.
A keg or two would be good right now. Is it cold under the veranda?
The store Eaves is not to blame unless they begged TLC to film there. I think they needed a store that was more of a boutique. Maybe Kate has been there before. It is close to her beloved Whole Foods. I think TLC paid for the clothes rather than Eaves giving freebies. I looked online. Does the store even appeal to teenagers? It didn't look like it from what they show online.
The shop workers probably did sign NDAs though. Kate would have insisted.
@DonutsForCollin We're a local laid back independent boutique, happy to say no drama and no freebies... not our style xx 8:42 PM - 16 Jan 2016 1 RETWEET
Enough. Really? This small independent boutique in Wayne Pa? I can't imagine the rent. Not losing sleep for them but c'mon! You want the show off the air, then yes express concerns to the network, and the sponsors. Freedom of speech doesn't protect us from the consequence of looking like fools for what we choose to say.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 You know you have 2have a pretty firm figure to wear #SweaterPants! Not for everybody for sure! You rocked those! Go get 'em! (((((((( Those sweater pants were FUGLY and made Kate look like she had a big deuce in her drawers. Milo is so damn delusional and will kiss Kate's ass no matter what she does. A real friend would say, "Uh, no honey. Just no."
Kate may still run, just indoors now. Back when she was promoting herself as a runner, she was followed by paps but no longer now. She probably figures, what's the point? What her fans forgot with her physical fitness baloney was that she had a tummy tuck and liposuction. Her body was not the result of being a marathon runner. In fact, I noticed in the back to school show, she had arm skin wiggle. You don't get that if you truly are an exercise nut.
Kate went the glam look because of poor advice and her big head that she is a star. She's not Hollywood. She'd be accepted more if she looked more natural since she is still shilling about raising eight kids as single mom. Her fat ego just won't allow it. Her look better suits a 20-something and I agree she makes herself look older and nasty. Her best look is when she has no makeup on and her hair is pulled back.
Blowing In The Wind said... 42 Regarding Milo and her strange phraseology: firm figure, prospective suitor, physique, naysayer, slacks, etc. Is this still common in the South? The last time I heard "suitor" was when my grandmother used the term and I was in high school. Aren't those old-school descriptions? -------- No these phrases are not common in the South. We don't speak like we live in the '50s.
No freebies. TLC gave Kate the $$$ to shop at Eaves. Common practice, since Day One, TLC gives her gift cards. It's in Robert's book. She went crazy with Ann Taylor gift cards, demanded more. Although she was not filmed shopping there, she was buying clothes for her book tour and promoting TLC.
TLC stinks (#73), yes, I don't understand all the confusion about freebies. I don't care if we watch TFW pull a roll of benjamins out of her good bra and pay for something -- she either got that money from TLC, or they're going to reimburse her. Even when she wrote out that check to Ronald McDonald house, I wouldn't be suprised if that donation was part of the episode budget. You know, the realest reality and all.
Shoot, I remember when Jon and Kate took 8 kids to the K-Mart store and paid with a credit card. The camera lingered on a close up of the card in Kate's fingers. Product placement at its finest. That was not Jon and Kate's money behind that card.
Also, their very first shopping trip to the grocery store where they bought organic grapes and flats of white bread involved a credit card as well. There was doubt Jon and Kate could afford all they bought that day if they were spending their own money.

That was not Jon and Kate's money behind that card. ******* I remember J+K going on GMA, hawking K-Mart's layaway program and pretending that they could barely afford to get their kids gifts and what a wonderful thing the layaway was. Meanwhile, they'd scored a 6-figure deal with K-Mart. I tell ya, Kate can lie with the best of them.
She went crazy with Ann Taylor gift cards, demanded more. Although she was not filmed shopping there, she was buying clothes for her book tour and promoting TLC.
--------------------
Remember when she and Jon went on a shopping trip and she didn't know the latest trends, and he was suggesting clothing for her because she had always worn the same color and style? They filmed her in a store. Did they ever say which store it was?
I remember back when I was 'duped' I admired the shopping trip Kate went on in one hour while a babysitter read a book as the tups napped. She had coupons and rain-checks and a calculator and said it was her job to stretch their money as far as possible while eating well. Ha, I also thought the nap was one hour and Kate went then so the sitter did not have to deal with 6 toddlers. Hahahaha.
Formerly Duped (#78), I was impressed with that trip, too. Remember how she claimed she "never ever ever" bought milk unless it was on sale? And yeah, I bought the one-hour nap story, too! She sure made it seem like a grocery shopping trip alone was a "rare treat."
"Does the store even appeal to teenagers? It didn't look like it from what they show online."
(((((((((((((
No, it doesn't. It's something that Kate would like, not 15-year-olds, at least none that I know. It's more for the 20-something, post-college crowd.
There's a Plato's Closet in Lancaster that the kids around here love. Very trendy. However, they never would have filmed there because it's a used clothing store and far too mediocre. Moreover, Kate had to get into the act and try on clothing and she never could have rocked the styles they have there.
Compare that fistful-of-coupons grocery trip to the boutique outing on Tuesday's show. As someone else said, TFW has given up the pretense of being a struggling single mother. But with that, she has given up any genuine relatability with her audience -- if there ever was any to begin with.
TLC stinks said... 70 In fact, I noticed in the back to school show, she had arm skin wiggle. You don't get that if you truly are an exercise nut. -------------------- I noticed that one of my fitness instructors has arm skin wiggle too, and she is very fit. The woman leads an hour-long zumba class and never sweats or falters. The arm skin wiggle comes with age, and I don't think any amount of fitness can prevent it. Certainly running wouldn't.

They filmed her in a store. Did they ever say which store it was? January 17, 2016 at 9:29 AM ***** Pretty sure it was AT, and Kate had no shame. She told them she spends $500 a week or a month there. Holy crap! Who does that. I think AT got a product placement on the show, and Kate turned it into the never-ending gift card.
I remember Kate's "never ever" buying milk unless it was on sale. Unless it was on sale pretty much every week in PA, that means the kids were denied milk a whole lot. What do you put on cereal? How do you make pancakes. She was full of it. If milk is too expensive, you buy powdered. You don't deny your kids milk.

Games, clothing, shopping... It must be hard for her girls to have a mother who always has to shine brighter than them.
Math girl, true but 40 is young for chicken flaps. She hasn't toned up her arms. It could be, though, that the excess skin is from the pregnancy. I guess she did not hit up the plastic surgeon to get rid of the flap too. Frankly, I did not blame her for getting a tummy tuck and lipo (of course it was FREE for her). I am guessing she went to a different surgeon for the boob job because Dr. Glassman said she did not need one. It is still astounding she had the nerve, while filming, to ask him for a boob job. The look on her face when he said she didn't need it said it all. She must have thought there was no way he's say no knowing they were being filmed, LOL.
Tucker's Mom (#86), if there is a Sweet 16, TFW will make herself the center of attention, crying (read: poking and dabbing) about her babies growing up. It will be all about her.
Just as I thought, Lanc Native. The boutiques were for Kate. Not that I frequent boutiques often, but I have never seen 15 year olds shopping because the clothes are more mature. My daughter was into JCrew, Anthropologie etc which were expensive enough. I am happy with TJMaxx.
Right, Tucker's Mom. Kate inserts herself into everything on that show. Those girls are old enough to shop by themselves. I don't honk Mady and Cara were that much into those stores, particularly the second shop. In fact, although they were carrying bags out, who's to say those bags were for them and not their mother? Why not just let the girls order what they wanted online? Oh yeah, then there would be nothing to film...no mommy/daughter day.

&&&&&&&&&&&
Milk doesn't go on sale in PA. Prices may fluctuate depending on the market and prices are regulated, but there are never big "sales" on milk (like two for five, or buy one, get one), so she must have been talking about some kind of organic milk.

They did film at Ann Taylor. I remember the shirts she picked out, and it was an AT store.
Wasn't Kate asked, years ago, how she kept her arms so toned? Didn't she say she didn't do anything, that they just were. And, of course, mentioning she had 8 kids she had to carry, sometimes 2 at a time. (The younger ones were still very young at the time.)
Kate GosselinVerified account @Kateplusmy8 15m15 minutes ago Have you seen Zorro the bird sing/dance 2 @selenagomez ? Omg he just did this a few min ago&we are SPEECHLESS! @TLC https://instagram.com/p/BAptutnkOXV/
&&&&&&&&&&&&&
OMG! OMG! Imagine that! The only bird in the world to sing and dance. Stop the presses. Get media coverage.
Kate should have a conversation with my Timneh Grey. An actual conversation. I can ask him a question and he answers. He tells me when it's time to go to bed (haven't taught him to bring me ice cream, though); sings several songs; knows each person (and animal) in the family by name, and lets me know when the dog needs to go out. Parrots do this. Although he's cute, Zorro is not a bird prodigy.
Oh, geez. Gladys will be all over this for days, maybe even weeks and it's going to be all about Kate. Wait for it.
Kate tweeted that Zorro is singing and dancing, and here comes Milo. Sure enough, Kate is responsible for this miraculous phenomenon.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 @selenagomez @TLC We knew this bird had personality! How could he not living w/Mom Kate & the 8 Gosselins...LOL
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 @TLC LOL You mention going on a #BlindDate & here comes ZORRO bursting forth w/song & dance to @selenagomez! #SingItCuteBoy :)
TLC stinks said... 87 Math girl, true but 40 is young for chicken flaps. ------------------ You're right. My instructor is probably in her 50s. I forget that she's older than Kate because she is much more attractive and more energetic. And has a much nicer personality.
TLC stinks said... 90 Right, Tucker's Mom. Kate inserts herself into everything on that show. ------------------- I watched the video of the yoga class on the TLC website. Talk about insertion herself! Kate has been taking private yoga lessons (can't take group ones like the mediocre people) for years. So she arranged for her instructor to do a session for the kids, and she did the class too. She was quite annoyed that some of them were better at the headstand than she was, despite her large "head" start. She wanted to show off and "win" at yoga, as if yoga is a competitive sport. Oh well.
I don't hear Zorro singing. Looks more like mouthing, or beaking the words. He's adorable. I hope he's looked after for life, because he's going to live long enough for those kids to be adults and gone.

I was just going to ask that question. For some reason, I can't get the audio on that video. Does the bird know the words to the song? If so, that's pretty darn good. If he's just bopping along, there's nothing unusual about that. It's what parrots do! They mimic!

Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8 4h4 hours ago 'Kate Plus Date' on #KatePlus8 THIS TUESDAY AT 10pm on @TLC ..Wait.What? A #BlindDate ? Yep. Watch&see what happens..I'm SO nervous! Still!😁 ******** Still? Jeebus woman, get a hold of yourself. The faux date was months ago, and you had your babysitter there the whole time! If anyone should be nervous, it's this dude who's cred went down like 1000% because he went on a stunt date with Kate. Every guy is going to ask him if he still has his testicles.
OOOhhh! SO the truth comes out! A 100K deck was built so TFW could sit on her flat *** on it and do YOGA!
She should be ashamed of herself. No wonder she said wellness and health. She said it was for the kids w & h, but it was for HER wellness and health.
The only thing that is going to help her wellness and health is go to a psychiatrist, get evaluated get on a med schedule and take the medicine as scheduled.
Congrats, FW. You used her kids again to get the deck, and saying that the deck was for their wellness and health. But it was all you. All you.
They could make it just like the show that was on a few years ago. A girl was given $150 and a stylist at mall and she had 30 minutes to get a nice outfit as cheaply as she could. She could keep what she didn't spend. Mady and her mother could complete to get a top, pants, shoes, purse, and they had to spend 25 dollars or more on another piece of clothing. (jacket, scarves, jewelry)
The person that has spent less would win.
At least that would get Cara and the tups out of filming.
TLC does not provide entertainment unless you enjoy watching and derive pleasure from viewing stories about society's psychologically fractured human beings. People are not fans that watch; they are gawkers. What do people learn by watching Kate Gosselin? How to be an awful parent, that greed pays, children are pawns, etc. Granted, there are much worse shows on TLC. TLC refers to their talent as "compelling characters". True, because the Gosselin kids are compelling figures trapped into performing for a narcisstic parent and TLC, neither of which have any interest in the emotional well-being of these children.
She wanted to show off and "win" at yoga, as if yoga is a competitive spor
&&&&
Only Kate could make yoga competitive with her own children. Of course she "won" when she's "competing" against her children in yoga. Oh, and I used quotes appropriately there, TFW.
Only her and Joan Crawford, if Yoga were in vogue then.
OMG! OMG! Imagine that! The only bird in the world to sing and dance. Stop the presses. Get media coverage.

lol!! Yes, indeed. Milo wants him on national television.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 Sign this fine feathered friend up now for #DWTS AND #TheVoice Clearly he's a fly away flying high favorite to win! :)
Good lord, Milo. Get a grip!
Zorro is a cutie. No doubt about it. But this is not amazing behavior for a parrot. Kate is a newbie. It's kind of like first-time parents who think their babies are little geniuses and record everything they say and do! That's okay, but she's obviously not experienced in typical parrot behavior.
We have two rescue parrots here from the same family. They argue with each other. Not long ago the one was going on and on with "Raining outside," while his brother said, "Not raining." I took him to the window, showed him that it was raining, and he said, "Okay" and seemed satisfied with that, but not before he saw it for himself. Both of them need to be adopted together because even though they argue, they would be lost without each other.
These birds are fascinating and the level of intelligence and speaking ability is incredible.
What concerns me about Kate and the bird is that as far as we know, Zorro has not been DNA'ed. Zorro could very well be a female. If that's so, Kate needs to watch out for egg-binding. It can kill a bird. Kate and the kids really seem to love Zorro, and I'd hate to see anything happen to him if the bird hasn't been sexed and Kate doesn't know enough to keep an eye out for potential problems.
The store that Jon and Kate shopped in was Banana Republic. The bags were shown as they were walking to their car. The store that Kate shopped in was Ann Taylor Loft. After that episode aired, I asked the manager of my local Loft about what it entailed. She said that the company didn't want product placement so it wasn't let on that she was at Loft. If you shop at Loft, which I do, you knew where she was. Also, the employees had to clear the store out of merchandise and stock the store with the spring/summer merchandise for Kate's shopping excursion. The spring/summer line was not in stores yet when she went there. She also said Kate got a huge discount. Let's face it, TLC got a huge discount.
With regard to Kate's supposed blind date. If Kate has never met him before, why did he say, "You look younger TONIGHT." If they had just met, wouldn't he say, "You look younger in person", or something like that.
Not gonna lie,i had a parrot like zorro and she would always shake her head up and down like she was dancing whenever music was on.She was a funny bird that had character.Zorro is a cute bird dont get me wrong but Milo is acting like this bird is the only 1 who does these things.

Someone upthread mentioned the 1950's. Yes, pants were called slacks, those overshoe rainboots with side buckles were called rubbers, and savings accounts had passbooks you wrote in. I didn't know about fast food restaurants because there weren't any near my home. Fast food was a TV dinner in a sectioned aluminum tray that took >30 minutes to cook. Going to ANY restaurant was rare because Mom defrosted meat the night before and prepared a full meal every evening.
Watch any episode of Leave it to Beaver or the Donna Reed Show (*\0/* waving at Paul Peterson here) or Ozzie and Harriett. The way they lived mirrored my own life. The 50's were wonderful times for my early childhood years.
I don't hear Zorro singing. Looks more like mouthing, or beaking the words. ----------------------- He opens his beak when the recording (Selena Gomez) sings "Can't Keep my Hands to Myself". It does look like he's lip-syncing the words, but they could have made the video first, then found a sound-track that fit it. Before that he's moving/fidgeting, but it's not particularly related to the music.
@Xxxxxxxx: @DonutsForCollin @photoshopfunnie @Kateplusmy8 well, she would know. I'll mention that to my husband who is a certified master chef...
So this woman is asking Kate for her Korean BBQ recipe because she's never liked it and wants to compare it to her husband's (who it turns out is a certified master chef. Maybe she should give him a copy of Kate's cookbook and see what he thinks of that!
Many birds enjoy loud music, dancing, commotion and being with the family. They just do. It's not harming them. As long as they are getting their required amount of sleep at night, they have fun bouncing back and forth to music. I would imagine that there is enough activity going on in that house that Zorro has adapted quite well to it. He appears to be a very social bird.
I watched the video. Something is not quite right there. I have not seen a bird who has done an authentic lip sync. Usually the videos are edited. They either say words, sing, or they don't. The dancing back and forth looks legit, but I can't make out if Zorro is saying any words or not. I wasn't aware the bird had learned any words, such as hello, or what's up, or anything else. It is highly doubtful the bird knows those particular words to that song. It takes a long time for birds to use words and phrases and the bird either learns it on its own or is taught. It's repetition, repetition, repetition, and the only way that Zorro would know those particular words is from hearing them repeatedly or someone taught him those particular lyrics, which I really doubt.
A bit corny, just wanted to share. Cleaning up after dinner. House is still warm from the oven. Wiping the counters, putting away the crinkled stained recipe, I am reminded of a day now decades ago. Mom grading me on home economics homework..or was it for a Girl Scout badge? Honestly I don't remember which. I do remember that she made me feel proud and protected, and realized she understood me.
My assignment was to prepare cook/bake, follow a recipe and have a parent grade the experience - using the right tools, preparation, taste and even cleanup. My mom worked outside the home and by this time I had often prepared simple meals for our large chaotic family. We like many families struggled financially. I was tired that evening, and the cleanup was lacking. I didn't have all the ingredients either, we made it work. My mom gave me a grade far superior than I had earned. My mom had a wonderful sense of humor. She said to me something about having so many siblings, our kitchen always having clutter, my brother's basketball in the kitchen, - none of which I had control over. She signed the paper, kissed me and made hot chocolate. I can't explain in words why exactly this experience made me feel safe and secure. As far back as I can remember I trusted my Mom. We never competed; she nurtured and we grew.
Now feeling sentimental about parents and children and this appears on social media - An excerpt from a letter Albert Einstein wrote to his son. "I am very pleased that you find joy with the piano. This and carpentry are in my opinion for your age the best pursuits, better even than school. Because those are things which fit a young person such as you very well. Mainly play the things on the piano which please you, even if the teacher does not assign those. That is the way to learn the most, that when you are doing something with such enjoyment that you don’t notice that the time passes. I am sometimes so wrapped up in my work that I forget about the noon meal. . . ."
Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that the language on Kate's TL is becoming garbage talk and disgusting, and the accusations more and more exaggerated, almost bordering on libel/defamation? I mean, I know it's Twitter and anything goes, but it just seems to me that there's some really nasty stuff being said there by both sides. Has it always been that bad -- the name-calling, the F-bombs, C words, etc? I just don't recall it happening so frequently. These are adults, for heaven's sake. Do they go after other people in the real world like this, or only when they can hide on Twitter? Kate needs to close that thing down.
I was watching the kids' baking competition on the Food Network. Valerie Bertinelli was one of the judges. She is so bubbly, has such a personality and was so kind to those kids, giving them praises, laughing with them and complimenting them while giving constructive cricism. Kate has no such personality, which is why she has failed at all cooking shows. She just couldn't do it, either as a contestant or a judge. Not only that, but she can't talk. She can't find two coherent sentences with a flashlight.
#124 "I find the older I get the more I miss my mom."
Just wanted to say I felt every word you typed & if l had a mother such as you had, l would miss her too. Unfortunately, mine was like Kate Gosselin and I was treated same as the G boys. My mother considered girls as icky, dirty and only good for housework. Don't know why l wrote all that..something in your words took me back in time. Thank you so much for the warmth l felt from your posting. Your mom was a great mom..xx

What's the Gosselin litmus test for 'real' anyway? Real like in reality tv real?
"Emily: Oh, Mama, look at me one minute as though you really saw me. Mama, fourteen years have gone by. I'm dead. You're a grandmother, Mama! Wally's dead, too. His appendix burst on a camping trip to North Conway. We felt just terrible about it - don't you remember? But, just for a moment now we're all together. Mama, just for a moment we're happy. Let's really look at one another!...I can't. I can't go on.It goes so fast. We don't have time to look at one another. I didn't realize. So all that was going on and we never noticed. Take me back -- up the hill -- to my grave. But first: Wait! One more look. Good-bye , Good-bye world. Good-bye, Grover's Corners....Mama and Papa. Good-bye to clocks ticking....and Mama's sunflowers. And food and coffee. And new ironed dresses and hot baths....and sleeping and waking up. Oh, earth,you are too wonderful for anybody to realize you. Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it--every,every minute? Stage Manager: No. The saints and poets, maybe they do some."
Thanks for sharing, reader. Looking back, I should have savored each moment, knowing that it would not last forever, and wishing now that I could return, even for a day.
I feel so sorry for Kate's kids. They will never know a nurturing mom who gives those hot cocoa kisses, nor the safe and secure feeling that comes from being loved unconditionally.

NYY Julianna - Our Town, read that so long ago. Saw the play too. I was young and remember thinking, why so few props...lol. We should appreciate the details and interactions of everyday life while we live them. Seems simple.
Oh, reader. I know what you mean. I was watching "You've Got Mail" the other night. There is a scene where Meg Ryan is sitting alone and says, "I was thinking about it tonight as I was decorating my tree. Unwrapping ornaments made of Popsicle sticks and missing my mother so much I almost couldn't breathe. I always miss my mother at Christmas, but it is worse this year since I need some advice from her. I need her to make me cocoa and tell me that everything going badly|in my life will sort itself out."
At the end, when she's closing the doors to her shop for the last time and taking the bell off the door, the lights fade in the empty room, and there is a flashback to her as a young girl, twirling with her mother. I always reach for a tissue during that part when I think about my childhood and my own mother.

reader and Julianna...
The 1940 black and white movie with William Holden and Martha Stuart was on television the other night. I had not seen it before and it was strange with props, but very well done. The ending was changed, and Emily really didn't die, but the entire cemetery scene was just a dream. In the movie version, she said that she wanted to live and she gave birth and they lived happily ever after. I was reading some background on the movie, and apparently the screenplay writers got permission from Wilder to change the ending.
It took me back to my childhood when my mother who was very sick had to work a full time job in town, take care of 2 little kids, cook, clean, iron, can over 500 quarts of food and a freezer full of vegetables during the summer, do my grandmother's laundry, then having to deal with an extremely difficult husband and many other things.
I will never forget when my mother told me that she would let me and my little brother play under the kitchen table while she cleaned the kitchen up after supper. She scrubbed it clean and when she was done she would always find me and my brother passed out asleep under the table.
As tired as she was, she would pick each of us up, put us in our beds, give us a kiss, covered us up and we would feel safe.
There was a big cedar tree about 100 ft. way from the house and I would take a quilt and my dolls, a couple of bowls, wooden spoons and pretend to make a cake. I would sneak back into the house and get eggs and make a batter with the dirt and eggs. I can still hear the wooden spoon scraping the batter off the sides of the bowl because of the grit.
My mother was so stunned that we would sneak in and get eggs to play with. She would say, I never knew you came in and got eggs! Then she would laugh.
Thank you reader, I haven't thought about this in awhile!
Can someone please explain this Zorro mishegas? I will not click on Bird Brain's link, but I admit I'm curious. Is she saying they were all just sitting around, enjoying a cozy Gosselin family Sunday, when their bird spontaneously burst into song and started to bust a move? Then, unable to believe this amazing, never-before-seen talent, one of them grabbed a camera phone and shot it to share with their fans?
Gotta give TFW a little credit for hustle. Tweeting on the weekend and not waiting until Tuesday afternoon to try to drum up viewers.
A Vonage friend! I am wanting to switch to Vonage and I need someone who has Vonage so I can get referred and we can get a 50 dollar e-card after 2 months of paid service. Thanks!
Remember when she and Jon went on a shopping trip and she didn't know the latest trends, and he was suggesting clothing for her because she had always worn the same color and style? They filmed her in a store. Did they ever say which store it was?
They never said, but it was the Banana Republic outlet store. And they had a looooooooonnnnggggg receipt.
I remember back when I was 'duped' I admired the shopping trip Kate went on in one hour while a babysitter read a book as the tups napped. She had coupons and rain-checks and a calculator and said it was her job to stretch their money as far as possible while eating well. Ha, I also thought the nap was one hour and Kate went then so the sitter did not have to deal with 6 toddlers. Hahahaha
She was gone 2 hours. They had a count down clock. The kids were at least 2.5 as they were in the Elizabethtown home. So she probably couldn't keep them in their cribs 4 hours anymore. She may have put them up there before she actually left. They were watching DVD's by then. The camera got shots of them sleeping while she was away.
I think we found out per the book that that grocery trip was paid for it I am not mistaken.
She went crazy with Ann Taylor gift cards, demanded more. Although she was not filmed shopping there, she was buying clothes for her book tour and promoting TLC.
I noticed AAK ( all about Kate) dresses more "down" then she did before. Yes she doesn't do book tours anymore. But I noticed in season 5 she would still " dress up" even for the couch interviews and she would be in full makeup. I wonder what changed? Or is this TLCs way of making Kate appear as just another everyday mom to viewers
On C-Span TV they are having a TWO hour debate on whether to ban Trump from the UK. They do not have good things to say about him. But I don't think they are going to ban him. They don't want to make him a martyr. That was their words. One man called him crazy. Another said the US has had a few presidents that would not have qualified for Mensa membership. They had a petition with over 1/2 million signatures to ban him and therefore had to take up the issue.

She looks better without all the thick makeup so it may just be she is taking somebody's advice or it would look ridiculous to be in full makeup and nice clothes while doing outside chores in sweltering heat. The refinishing the picnic table was about showing how thrifty she is (why not just buy a new one) and getting the kids to participate for the camera.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 22m22 minutes ago #Cupid...draw back your bow & let your arrow go..Tues.10pm @TLC @Kateplusmy8 goes on a BLIND DATE! He's a handsome guy...will sparks fly? :) ****** I hope Milo has an extra pack of Depends for THE DATE OF THE CENTURY tomorrow. Let's see, will sparks fly? Well, what with her married luvuh just steps away, an entire film crew peering down upon them the entire time, and lots of discussion about 8 children, what guy wouldn't be hot to trot? I hope the guy got hazard pay.
Here's a rhyme for Gladys about the blind date that's a little more on point: "A date with a charm-free, narcissistic shrew? I'd run far, far away -- wouldn't you?"
Bill O'Reiley rhetorically asked doesn't the UK have freedom of speech. I agree it is ridiculous. What would happen if he becomes President. But out of the 30 minutes or so that I have watched on and off they have called him a fool, demagogue, and worse. But others are standing up for him.

January 18, 2016 at 10:32 AM ******* I caught a few minutes of Trump speaking at Liberty University today and it was like performance art. I couldn't look away there for awhile! The man can talk and talk and talk and talk and talk.
I remember when we first started talking about him politically, not just in reference to Kate being on CA. This sh*t is getting real...
I haven't the foggiest idea why England is spending all this time banning someone who hasn't even secured the nomination yet. If they ban him it's not the end of the world. Going to the uk is not part of the regular duties of our president. Much ado about nothing.

Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 2h2 hours ago @Kateplusmy8 I've never had a pet bird. Is #Zorro really AUDIBLY singing @selenagomez song or just "beak syncing"? LOL #ReallyAmazing :)
Oh, yeah, he knows the entire song, doofus, and spontaneously broke into song without ever having been taught. Didn't someone on here use the term beaking or beak syncing? Milo isn't clever enough to pick this up on her own.
I thought the same thing about tweeting Gomez. First thought that came to my mind, but I was too lazy to look it up to see if there was a concert in the near future.
SHARON BLEVINS @peddlerva 3h3 hours ago @Kateplusmy8 WATCHING COMMERCIALS FOR 2NITE.....I'M SO GLAD YOUR FINALLY GONNA MAKE YOU HAPPY. LONG TIME COMING....BE HAPPY.

-------------------
I'm confused. If who becomes President? O'Reilly? A "what if" is a moot point. He certainly does write some very good books, though...best ones I have read on the Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations.

Hey, Gladys...what about the other lyrics to that song that go something like this?
"Now I don't mean to bother you but I'm in distress There's danger of me losing all of my happiness"
Let's change that up to "there's danger of me losing all of my manliness," not to mention testicles.
A Vonage friend! I am wanting to switch to Vonage and I need someone who has Vonage so I can get referred and we can get a 50 dollar e-card after 2 months of paid service. Thanks!
--------------
redbird, a friend had Vonage and couldn't wait to get away from them because it was so bad. I only heard part of the horror story and I don't know too much about them. Perhaps there are some here who have positive experiences with them and are satisfied with the service. Have you checked the reviews on them, and also the complaints under Pissed Consumer?
Banning in the UK has nothing to do with him becoming President. They banned an American for being a member of the KKK and Nazi party. Trump sounds a lot like the people they've already banned.
He was on the TODAY show cooking and looked great! ***** I caught a glimpse of that segment and thought, "wow, he looks like Potsie, but nah...couldn't be!". I'll have what he's having ;-)
Can you imagine sitting down to your nice Manhatten restaurant meal and a camera crew entourage barges in? And what about Steve hovering by the table making sure the throngs of fans stay away? Why is she leaving the date in a stretch limo? Can't she take a cab or Uber like everyone else? Man, I cannot wait to hear the baloney she makes up about that date. Jeff Prescott will be celebrating tomorrow night he escaped.
I can guarantee you the Mady/Cara cooking for the tups did not happen the same night the date was filmed. That would have involved TWO Figure 8 crews.

They should ban him if they want. They should ban whoever they feel is a threat to their country. He's not British and has no right to be there and does not have British rights.
Unfortunately some don't want Americans to have the same liberal courtesy to ban threats even speculative ones, which is Trump's point.
Blowing, what would happen if Trump became President. O'Reily isn't running. Having the President of the US banned from the UK would be very weird to say the least. And to make it stranger the UK is a great ally of the US.
reader, thank you for sharing that beautiful memory; it made me tear up. I'm so glad you have such happy memories from your childhood.
NOIP, I understand your feelings as I had an abusive childhood. I used to feel bad about not having good memories, but now I rejoice in the good life the Lord has given me and the memories I now have of my adult life. Love and peace to you, hon.
I hope that Kate has enough sense to bring Shoka inside. Windchill tonight is supposed to be minus seven. I really doubt that he was inside when Zorro was out of his cage and dancing.
Milo will not only wet her pants during the love fest episode, but when she hears that the forecast is for 8 to 12 inches of snow this weekend, she will pester the daylights out of Kate for a photo of the Deckster. I just want to see Kate shovel snow off those spiral steps.
Admin., they are talking about Trump being banned as a citizen only.
*****
No, I think they're talking about even allowing him into the country apparently. Why would he even be eligible for citizenship or want it?
Piers Morgan actually wrote a very well thought out opinion piece about this, saying look, I don't agree with Trump's opinions on many things including Muslims, but it is really embarrassing and a waste of our taxpayer dollars to spend time debating this absurd issue. We should be debating how to protect ourselves from terrorism and other VERY pressing issues in Great Britain.
This was I think his best line: "Britain throws down the red carpet and blares out the royal bugles all the time for leaders of countries with heinous human rights records."
Yeah really. Has Trump ever killed anyone? I didn't think so. He's just a politician with ideas. Who the heck cares if he wants to spend his holiday visiting Big Ben? Ban him if they want I don't care but don't waste time doing so.
Color me not surprised actually Trump is the leading story now so long after he announced his bid for election. Americans are tired of this and similar whining, and are saying so in the polls. I think if this were Jeb Bush people would be saying the nomination is a lock. I think he's got the nomination, and I would not be at all surprised if a year from now he's being sworn in.

++++++++++++++
What are they saying would happen?

Lol. I don't know. But *nothing* would happen. We'd go along belly aching as usual in D.C. and nothing would get done. Or maybe, just maybe, a business man has a good idea about the best people to put in his cabinet and some positive things might get accomplished.
I find it kind of ironic they call Trump a fear monger when their basic premise as to why we shouldn't vote for him is based entirely on fear mongering. Thus far I haven't heard a single good reason not to cast my vote for him that doesn't play directly to speculative fears of what "might" happen, based very little on anything he's actually said and based largely on Nazism.
By the way--in direct reference to Kate, this is the second opinion piece I've seen in two days written by ex-Celebrity Apprentice contestants in support of Trump. The earlier one was another well thought piece by Jesse James. He explained the kinder side of Trump he saw, which included regularly getting coffee with and chatting with the blue collars working for him. While I won't vote for someone just because behind closed doors they are nice (or not nice, or whatever), I do find first hand accounts of all the politicians behind the scenes and how they conduct themselves on a daily basis important.

Or unemployment compensation if he was paid by TLC.
Milo tweeted that Kate is dating and she is happy. Either she knows something that Kate shared with her in their other ways of communicating, or she is just spouting off as usual. If this is the guy she is dating, then he must really be hard up (no pun intended) or he is a glutton for punishment. His hot to trot may change to "cool to pursue."

Golly gee, I hope so!!!!!!!
Reader, fidosmommy and redbird: I love to hear personal stories and experiences as it reinforces my already positive opinion of the posters here.
Fidosmommy, I also remember the 50s as those were my childhood years. I recall having to wear gloves and hat to church or to any special occasion.
Those were the days when all adults were authority figures and we listened to them with respect. Well, most of the time.
We played school yard games and chanted rhymes which have now disappeared from the playground.
In the days before everyone had air conditioning, we stayed outside on hot humid days and waited for the sun to go down and for the house to cool down. Families sat on their porches and verandas (!!) and chatted with neighbours and passers-by.
Before everyone had pools we would run through sprinklers or go to the public pool.
They were lovely memories although I guess that kids today have their own lovely memories. Just different.

January 18, 2016 at 2:18 PM ****** Sanders/Trump? Quite possible. I'm trying to embrace any and all possibilities and just keep an open and as informed mind as possible. Otherwise, I think my head would explode!
willowmom (now Piper's mom) said... 176 RIP Glenn Frey of the Eagles. It just keeps happening... January 18, 2016 at 2:25 PM ***** Wow, it sure is.... I'm just getting over Bowie. This is a lot to come to terms with. One of the first albums I ever got-in fact, given to me as a present- was The Eagles greatest hits, 1971-1975. This was from a really cool uncle & aunt who paired it up with a Doobie Bros. album. I felt so grown up! And soooooo cewl ;-)
Milo is just running at the mouth. Kate's not dating anyone. I believed the Jeff Prescott relationship because of the pictures and there were rumors she went places with him in other states. I think the relationship cooled off during the summer. She's a user but Jeff isn't a twenty year old like Jon was. He came to realize that association with her was nothing but bad news.

Well, Milo better get her rear end in gear because she has only four days of alertin' her darling for the impending event. Thing is, though, nobody seems to know what track the storm will take. It could go south into Joy's territory and miss us entirely.
Of course, if Milo gets frantic about it, she could always head north and make her home on the deck, shovel in hand, with easy access to the windows, for peering purposes.

Was it ever disclosed how much Beth got for writing the book? I remember that there was an issue with her going on the book tour and on television appearances, but when was the amount she received confirmed? ****** I think Kate and Beth got 100K up front, to split. So, when Kate slapped Jon's name on the book, she tried to take quite a bit away from Beth, if not all of it. Don't quote me on the number- I'd have to look it up in Robert's book.
@Over in TFW's county Does anyone even believe Kate private messages some of her fans?Because msgoody made a tweet a couple of days ago saying that she just got Kate's PM and Kate was confused by it.There have been moments where Goody has blown smoke and bragged about how she knows what goes on in that house.Then again she said she knows milo even though they live in different states.It would be insane if Kate did actually PM her die hard fans and told them info that goes on.Even though it would be Kate's word,so in the end they wouldn't know.

Wasn't his body exhumed sometime during the 90s to prove through DNA that he really was killed in Missouri by the Ford brothers, just prior to his plans to rob yet another bank? ;)

On the flip side, what would happen if Hillary became President, only to be indicted and sentenced to some jail time? How weird would it be to set up an oval office in corrections? Of course, Al Capone did have a really nice cell set up for him in Eastern State Penitentiary!
Race and religion based murders egged on by a narcissistic sociopath or months and months of possible impeachment trial caused by a narcissistic sociopath? Somebody, anybody, bless America. Please!
Admin., they are talking about Trump being banned as a citizen only. __________ Sorry, I didn't mean the UK are talking about banning Trump as a citizen of their country. I was talking about the UK banning the US citizen Trump from their country. You initially thought they were talking about banning him if he became president. And I was just clarifying that they are talking about banning the US citizen Trump. Sorry for the confusion.
I noticed a couple weeks ago that TV ratings were being counted differently. There were articles about it on both Showbuzz and tvbythenumbers. Something about changing the number of boxes to tally the ratings. I just skimmed it. Oddly, though, immediately after that a lot of TLC shows jumped in ratings. The 7 little Johnstons went way up, the last show with the Duggar girls jumped way up, and so did K+8. I wonder if this new system accounts for the sudden increase in ratings.
On a sour note, reality TV sucks. There is a new Real Housewives show set here, and nobody is happy about it. They will just cheapen what is actually a very nice community and portray the women as a bunch of backstabbing harpies. The Real Housewives of DC was bad enough, and everyone was happy that it needed after one season. But they just won't go away. I hope this one ends soon, too.

@MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 @grisel1018 I saw them @ a show here,@ the Brad Garrett show & I have friends who were there too !!
=========
We all saw the picture of them at the Brad Garrett show in LV and they did look like a couple. I remember that we discussed it at the time. She'd been invited out for her birthday.
Tucker's Mom...You forgot one. TCFW needs to trash those damn false eyelashes.
"That's what a person does when they spend their hard earned money and not somebody else's."
))))
Yes. One of my mother's favorite sayings was, "It's easy to spend somebody else's money."
If you have to ask how much something costs then you can't afford it. I guess as long as TLC is footing the bill, she can get away with just grabbing and going.
We will have to see the dating episode to see if it was scripted & rehearsed. From the several clips we have seen so far, it has been so uncomfortable & awkward. The opposite of that. For instance, the goodnight scene. If this guy is an actor then I say it will be made known by him, TLC, or Kate. Otherwise, it would be too risky because how embarrassing would it be for him to appear on our screens in a tv show OR even for somebody who knows him to let it out of the bag he is a unknown actor. I think somebody hear floated that idea and others are latching on to it. And I think tons of men would love to be on tv dating Kate.
Milo is obsessed with Kate's body, but I don't think it's a sexual thing. Milo envies Kate's body. Milo has described herself as petite, like 100 lbs. I don't believe that for a minute. I think she's a fattie with no friends.
Milo seems to experience some perverse joy in deliberately acting the buffoon.

@Kateplusmy8 You know you have 2have a pretty firm figure to wear #SweaterPants! Not for everybody for sure! You rocked those! Go get 'em!
This has to be a man or she's still in the closet. No woman talks like this. This is not just a girl crush. She/he is obsessed with Kate's body. If I were Kate, this would scare me.
-----

Go get whom, Milo? At one time I believed that she was a wife and a mother who was just an obsessed fan. Now I am not so sure. This may be far out there, but remember that photo of the guy on a motorcycle? He was wearing tassel loafers and argyle. There was also a picture of a male in a hospital bed with an air cast (or something) on his foot. Could that actually be Milo and she tweeted those pictures to convince people that there is a LOM?
There is a reason why she refuses to meet Kate, why she asked how Kate would she would envision her if the two would meet, and also what Kate expects from a prospective suitor. That is just bizarre, and I'm wondering if Milo was asking for herself/himself.
I don't know. I am not going to lose any sleep over it, but when Milo makes such insane tweets I am curious about her/him. If there really is a hubs and kids, do they know about this unnatural lusting, and furthermore, do they care?

She so badly wants to be a part of Kate's circle of friends, if that is what you can call it. Gladys is pathetic. I mean, really a sad little person. She craves attention so much that she can taste it. She is not one of them.
Milo, you read here. We know that you do. For your own sake, get help with this. It is not normal. It is not cute. It is not funny, and nothing good can come out of it.

Thank you TLC.....I found Mady's statement regarding not knowing that jeans came in different lengths VERY telling! She said she's always HAD to cuff her pants because they were too long. TFW has bought those kids clothes too large and all the same since they were babies. I think she comes home from target clearance sales with mass quantities of bargains,rips the tags off and tells them what they are wearing. Mady has her number. TFW was in her element at the boutiques on TLCs dime and she couldn't help making it about her. Even in Roberts book she practically orgasmed every time she shopped at Ann Taylor loft and said she spent at least $500 a week on their clothing and would call TLC for more gift cards. Mady was old enough then to notice what a greedy hound her mother is and now she's smart assy enough to call her out on it on national tv. I think Mady knew exactly what she was doing when she was telling America from the couch that she didn't even know jeans came in lengths. She's telling us that she KNOWS she's a commodity to her mother. That it's all about her mother...and when the cameras aren't rolling, she doesn't get to go shopping and pick things out...it's only when it's on camera and atLC is paying for it.

I googled images of Mady and didn't see any where the jeans were cuffed. I won't link the photos, but there numerous ones online and the jeans definitely weren't cuffed, so I don't know what she's talking about. In fact, none of the kids' jeans are cuffed, not even the boys' denims.

I wonder if Mady's been waiting for the day when she could start telling that camera how things really are in that family without her mother sitting next to her and correcting her every word the way she did with Jon.
What poetic justice it would be if Mady is the final undoing of this circus.
Gladys doesn't get that tweet parties are for Tuesday nights, to garner publicity for the show.
She thinks TFW is just chit-chattin' with her gal pals for fun. And we're supposed to be the pathetic ones with no lives?
How long will it take before the nonfans starts pestering Eaves with the questions about freebies, grifting, how can you sell to Kate, etc? I am surprised that it has taken this long.

Does this sound like Deanna and Pumkinbottom are going to PA for a visit? "Settle in", gathering on the deck?
I truly hope Kate does have friendships that are genuine, and that any visit from friends is not just to show something off or to have unpaid workers for home projects/cleaning/lugging stuff.
She thinks TFW is just chit-chattin' with her gal pals for fun
=======================
Yep. Just chattin' it up about hemorrhoids, hot flashes and embarrassing bladder leaks, and Gladys will be right there with them.
Fidosmommy (#18), somehow I doubt that TFW is capable of genuine reciprocal friendship. Sure,
I can see her talking and laughing with these women, but listening to their problems? Offering support when they're facing hard times? Reading emotions that are below the surface, rather than taking reactions at face value? All of that requires an investment of time and energy, and I just don't see that coming from TFW. Heck, she can barely be bothered making that effort with her own kids.
FlimseyFlamsey, I'm just saying I wish friends for her.
Adult conversation and time spent together doesn't have to include problem sharing or listening with a sympathetic ear. Sometimes friends are people (for example) you meet for Sunday brunch, play tennis with, talk about the latest movies with, just having fun the only real expectation. I consider those friendships to be genuine too. They are casual but still important and worth putting effort into. Everyone needs those people, IMO, and I wish them for Kate.
Close friends for Kate may be a whole horse of a different color, but I wish those for her too.
Unless it was someone you grew up with, a bond formed from an early age, I don't know why anyone would want to be a friend to an unyielding, demanding, abusive adult.
Whoopie and Anderson immediately saw through her bs.
I think we all know someone who seems nearly incapable of telling the truth it's uncomfortable to be around them, but it's a coworker or an acquaintance. You don't call them on it, but you begin to avoid them, and as you walk away you ask yourself why you didn't call them on it!
I imagine being a friend to Kate is like that, all the time. That and a lot of chores.
TLC Stinks, be nice. I'm a fattie with no friends. Wait! Maybe I'm Milo! No. I couldn't keep up kissing Kate's ass for very long.
I think Kate always overbought clothes. You don't need your kids to try on jeans when you can just get each kid two sizes of each style on TLC's dime. Hold a pair up to the kid and say that one fits then sell the rest. And she very well may have a tailor on call along with her other help.
I'm not sure the bad makeup is all Deanna's fault. I think either Kate or Steve or both tell Deanna what to do and she obeys. Kate thinks she looks fabulous. That's obvious. Deanna should walk away and that's her own fault. The rest is Kate.
If there are photos of no jeans cuffed, then it's BS used to justify the boutique shopping. Way to go. Teaching a teen it's ok to lie to the audience.
Fidosmommy (#21), I understand now what you're saying, and, yes, it would be nice if TFW had
some fun friendships like those.
It says something that you have a person who grew up in the area, attended school, worked, family nearby; and where is this support group? They do not exist. There is a reason for that.
If this isn't scary, I don't know what is! Found on a fan page.
I have a little story to tell y'all!
Recently I moved to an area close to the Little Couple's house. I am a huge fan; however, like a normal human, I don't know where they live.
Today, I was driving around trying to find my closest Target when I accidentally missed the entrance and randomly turned into a neighborhood to turn around. As I tried to find my way out, I actually drove past their beautiful house. Will was even playing outside! It was super cool.
Just thought I'd share smile emoticon
EDIT: He was not outside alone. His nanny, Kate, was watching him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a 21 yr. old girl who says she graduated college already and is going to medical school. She also posted a picture of Will on the side walk but I don't see the nanny anywhere around him. There are some quacks on there saying how wonderful it was and one said HE, a grown man would be too shy to stop and ask for an autograph!
Insane!
If pumpkin bottom were indeed visiting Kate (funny Milo brings this up after we discussed her), then they are filming, IMO. Or maybe it's just brainstorming to come up with new episodes. Be afraid, my friends. 2016 will be a big filming year with Sweet 16.
The Admin of the fan page put this about seeing Will:
Katherine what a fabulous real life story to share with everyone!! Thank you!!!
Someone then posted a picture of where they go to buy their pet supplies.
Posts:
You're right. You did nothing illegal. Why do people have to be so negative. Smh
A lady posted a picture of 3 women standing in front of the pet store they own.
Post: We have been to their pet store - it has great high end products- fun store.
Here are posts about the Sister Wives:
XXX I live near the Sister Wives. I've driven by their houses a few times but nobody's been out. We have seen Meri at Walmart, Janelle and a couple of the kids at IHop, the whole family at the airport, and numerous times at In & Out. The fun part of watching the show is seeing where they go......"Hey! I was there yesterday."
XXX Yeah, I've had the same experience. I've seen Meri at Albertson's., Truly and her Grandma at McDonald's., and my Mom saw all four wives and Cody about a year ago at the Cheesecake Factory. I WISH I knew where they lived. We have often wondered that (do tell - I promise not to stalk them). lol
And there she goes, telling exactly where they live!
XXX St. just West of ***. Meri's house backs up to *** St. Robin ' s backs up to ***, Janelle ' & Christie's back up to *** St.
Then Miss Information is on a roll with where the Property Brothers live!
FYI ~ Property Brothers live on *** St. off of *** St between *** and ***. Off of the ***.
No privacy. Sad.
TLC stinks (#28), I think you're right. That heifer seems to be here to stay. She'll probably manage to score a "posh" TLC-funded 16th birthday bash, as well as a car (or cars) for the twins.
Or maybe a big vacation that TFW can take them on
(the Montana women can come watch the tups).
If TFW really wanted big ratings, she'd let their dad come to the party! Oh, never mind, their crew daddies will be there -- working the cameras and the microphones.
Redbird (#29), wow, those were some disturbing posts. That poor little boy, innocently playing outside his house, and being photographed like a circus animal. This isn't Justin Bieber -- it's a child who did not sign up for this. Creepy.

My gosh, what a great idea. She and TLC would milk that till the cow squealed! Talk about a ratings. It would probably sustain the Little Couple's lead in numbers. This would be a good way to keep her on.
What were the numbers when Jon came to the yard sale?
Here is a post about not being alerted about the "Will" sighting!
XXX How come nobody tagged me into this? I was asleep!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's crazy!
I just saw the clip for the "TV event of the yeat". Kate is air hugging her kids, they want a hug, so the group of them gather around Kate and she doesn't even touch them. Her arms are in the air but not on them. Mady makes the proclamation that Kate deserves some happiness. That sure looked sincere.
Also, that date looks odd. He looks like an actor or at best a friend of one of the crew. He
does not look comfortable and that helicopter
ride was not cheap. Thanks TLC for the beautiful
fun filled date. Riveting.
Yes, Flimsy, very creepy.
These fans think they can invade their privacy anyway, anywhere at anytime.
A video that has went viral shows a young man dressed up with big security guards, a camera crew, 2 or 3 paps snapping his picture as he was walking down the street and they were mobbed.
A reporter (in on the experiment) has a mike and was asking people who that was and it was all over the place who they thought it was. They were naming movies he "was in" and girls, even guys were clambering to get near him to get their picture made with him.
They went all out on this. People are just crazy around celebs.
@TLC stinks i do agree about the fact there will be a sweet 16 special for the twins.However i do also think TLC is at a point where Kate demands way to many things from them and i don't believe TLC would buy 6 expensive cars when the tups turn 16.Heck i don't think TLC will be around(hopefully)at that point since the twins will be gone and will not want to film unless Kate bribes them with something.I think you could be right in saying giving it 1 more year.Cause i doubt TLC will continue IF the twins don't want to film and i don't see them calling the show Kate plus 6.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack
@deannatweeting @Pumpkinbottom3 @Kateplusmy8 After you girls get settled, meet #MrDeckster & hang out for a while, let's have a #TweetParty!
===========
This is just another example of Milo butting into a conversation in which she was not included.
Deanna tweeted Jamie:
Deanna Bell @deannatweeting · 20h20 hours ago
@Pumpkinbottom3 @Kateplusmy8 We need to plan a visit at the same time so we can all hang out!
If they were to visit Kate at the same time, I'm sure the last thing on their minds would be that they should have a tweet party.
Before the tweet party last Tuesdday, Kate was following 321 tweeters. After the tweet party, she was following 324, so she only added 3 people to her follow list.
During the previous tweet parties, she ended up following approximately 14-20 people, yet last week she only followed 3.
Seems like Kate is getting bored of having to live tweet and follow people to promote the show. This was the first week that she didn't announce "tweet a quote for a follow".
If they were to visit Kate at the same time, I'm sure the last thing on their minds would be that they should have a tweet party.
-----------------
Oh, I bet the first thing that crossed their minds is that they need to invite Gladys!
Cause i doubt TLC will continue IF the twins don't want to film and i don't see them calling the show Kate plus 6.
--------------------
If Kate is holding it over their heads that if they don't film then they will lose their home and all the perks that go along with filming, plus possibly having to change schools, then I bet that they won't refuse to film. Moreover, I have no idea if filming all eight of them is in the contract, but if it is then I can't see that they have much of a choice.
I guess creepy fans have been around forever. Years ago, when I first had access to the world wide web, I was excited to find an internet group of fans of the "Karen" books by Marie Killilea. Shortly afterwards, one of the members excitedly shared that she had met Karen at James Killilea's (the patriarch of Karen's family) funeral, which she had attended specifically to meet the Killileas and get autographs. I was stunned. If that wasn't horrific enough, most of the group applauded her "gutsiness". Ugh. I couldn't unsub fast enough.
Regarding Milo and her strange phraseology: firm figure, prospective suitor, physique, naysayer, slacks, etc. Is this still common in the South? The last time I heard "suitor" was when my grandmother used the term and I was in high school. Aren't those old-school descriptions?
I haven't watched any of the episodes but have looked at some of the clips. I did turn on the little couple once (kept it on mute and watched something on my iPad) and then changed the channel when K+8 came on. I haven't done that again because why give any TLC show ratings. I do follow the Twitter feed but have never commented. My question is do you really think TLC would buy cars for the twins? I just don't see it. I also don't see any car manufacturers providing the cars for publicity. As I said, I don't watch. Do that have any big name product placement like they did in her glory years? I'm not talking about advertisers because as we've learned they really don't have much control over when their commercials air.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Interesting and I share your disgust at autograph-seeking at a funeral.I was an avid Karen reader and read about various tragedies that stuck the family: many people have tried to contact Karen. She begs for privacy and I can tell how much this means to her. While I would love to have a followup on her life, I realize she was the subject of 3 books based on her childhood, medical condition and family life. These things should be private further to what her mother wrote, and especially her adult life if this is what she wishes.
Formerly Duped said... 44
-----------------------------------
I agree. Karen has clearly indicated that she wishes privacy and without question that desire should be respected. Her story was compelling, but it was actually her mother's story about her and should remain so unless she chooses otherwise.
It's hard to comprehend the many tragedies that have touched that family.
Three friends/relatives all think I named my daughter after them, but she's really named for Karen Killilea. Aside from respecting the person, I just like the name. I hope that's not creepy, I didn't have her name tattooed on me or anything.
fade2black said... 45
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lol, glad you don't have a tat of her name! And I also like that name.
I read the two main books but not Wren, the children's version, or Newf. I came across the fire incident reports and pictures through the group you mentioned although I did not join it.I did find out that Gloria and her mother had some kind of estrangement There were old photos and some older information, but that's as far as my sleuthing went. I hope Karen remains well and content in her life, and he privacy is maintained.
Oh, good grief. another one...
Diane @dtetz45 1h1 hour ago
@Kateplusmy8 watched your back to school episode. Can u tell me what store you bought the backpacks in please? 💛
Kate should just post a listing of everything on her shows...her tops, dresses, sweaters, girls' jeans, swim suits, purses, nail polish, backpacks, kitchen counters, outdoor furniture, rugs, bedding sets, grills, etc., and where they were purchased. Obviously the needy sheeple can't google.
Midnight Madness (#47), I think these fans just make stuff up to try to get a response from TFW. Imagine how a crumb of attention from the world's greatest mom would make -- to steal part of the "Friends" theme lyrics -- their day, their week, their month, or even their year!
There have been a few comments about Kate's hair and her not washing it. I don't think that's the case. I think it's exactly the opposite. It looks like she washes it quite a bit but over-conditions it. Depending on the product she's using, how long she leaves it in and if she doesn't completely wash it out, it will look just like it looks now...greasy and stringy and weighed down.
She would look so much better if she chopped off that mess to just above shoulder length, added low lights, toned it down and layered it. With her long face, all it it doing is making her look so much older. Can't she look into the mirror and see that? Isn't there anyone who can advise her on an up-to-date style? That Peggy Lipton look went out decades ago.

************
Do you mean like any old crumb will do? That's most likely true for the majority of them, but you'd think that they would see that she's not responding to any of it and would just walk away.
How many times did that one person tweet about the top Kate wore when she was grilling? She had purchased the Block Party dress and tweeted a picture of herself in it, calling the two of them twins, so I think that some of them really do have a Single White Female going on with Kate. They want what Kate has. Gladys wants all that, and Kate, too.
@Flimsyflamsy You're correct because i remember Gladys tweeting to Kate about how her house was flooded and for some reason she decides to tweet to Kate for help.1st off,why would anyone tweet a stranger that lives far from you for help?if your house was flooded,you decide to tweet 2 a stranger instead of helping your family?I've got no idea what she expected Kate to do.Drive all the way to where she lives and get TLC to help her?SMH i can't think of any reason why she'd tweet Kate about that.If her house was truly flooded and she decided to just tweet to Kate instead of helping her family with it then this shows milo cares more about Kate's reaction to it then her own family.

I remember years ago TFW's picture was in an article. On the side it had the top she had on and the name of the designer and the price and on the other clothes, shoes, purse.
It just infuriated me because they were expensive when she was supposedly "piecing and a patching".
Redbird (#52), and don't forget the famous
"purse full o' bills." Poor, poor Kite! How someone with a freaking bodyguard on her payroll
got away with crying poverty is a mystery. Just
gives you an idea of the gullibility of her fans.
I agree that she over conditions her hair, thus the greasy look. She has to condition it because she's ruined it by so much coloring and straightening.

&&&&&&&&&&
I agree. I think that's exactly what she does. I have never seen Kate's hair look grimy dirty in need of a washing...oh, a little strubbly maybe, but not like she doesn't wash it. I also have never seen her to look like she doesn't shower or that her personal hygiene is bad. Then again, I don't check her out closely enough to see if she passes the sniff test.
Kate is not a stunningly beautiful woman. She is not gorgeous. However, with some professional advice on make-up and such, she could be an attractive 40-year old. She has not de-aged, even though she believes otherwise. She tries too hard, and in doing so, she's just making herself look older than she is. Nobody is going to tell her any differently, though, so in years to come she will look like Baby Jane Hudson. Bring on the thick make-up and slap a bow in her hair and paint those lips. It's a shame, really, because she is naturally pretty. She has nice features and a good bone structure. The Hollywood glam look that she's trying to pull off just isn't working for her -- in fact, it's working against her.
Do we dare ask for a recap? :) I haven't watched the show in ages, but the recaps are great!
You're correct because i remember Gladys tweeting to Kate about how her house was flooded and for some reason she decides to tweet to Kate for help.
*************
From what I remember, Milo wasn't asking Kate to actually physically help, but for sympathy and to get a response. She didn't, as far as I know, ask Kate to come to repair her broken whatever, but tweeted to tell Kate that these things happen to her and she can also sympathize with Kate when Kate has maintenance issues (dishwashers, water pipes, well pumps, dryer filters).
Poor, poor Kite! How someone with a freaking bodyguard on her payroll
got away with crying poverty is a mystery. Just

***************
Was it Kate's responsibility to pay for Steve's services (okay, maybe that's poorly worded!) when they were being filmed, or was Steve under contract to TLC and as an employee, the network took care of his paycheck?
Midnight Madness (#58), if it was while she was still working for TLC, he may very well have been on their payroll. But if she WAS filming, then there's no way she was walking around with a purse full of bills. It's her playing victim that rankles, when she's been living a lifestyle for
a decade which most people only dream of.
The next recap should be ready tomorrow or Monday, apologies for being a little behind!
I didn't see Kate and Shoka among the runners. There were 217 runners and 63 dogs in the event. Of course, it would have been difficult to scooter-train Shoka:
"Runners, and their dogs, hit Lancaster County Central Park for Polar Bear 5K"
Has she gotten tired of her whole running shtick? We never hear anything about it.
I think I told the story before about how once when I was nannying, two French fans visiting Los Angeles rang the call box at the gate. I'm pretty sure celeb wasn't home but the kids were. A family member went out and talked to them and they left. I think if it were up to me I would have just called the police.
I don't know why something like that took the cake for creep factor, but it really did. I think it was the only time I was truly scared. I also felt it was just very unfair for the children to have people showing up at the door to their private residence asking for their parent. It's their safe haven too. That's very different than a fan perhaps approaching the family in the grocery store or a movie theater or the airport bathroom, which I also saw but was way less bothered by.
Admin (#60), when you said "a little behind," I was afraid maybe you, too, were swooning over TFW's sweater pants!
If Kate is holding it over their heads that if they don't film then they will lose their home and all the perks that go along with filming, plus possibly having to change schools, then I bet that they won't refuse to film.
&&&&&
I could be totally wrong but I think the twins are too smart to fall for that. Or, they won't fall for that soon. They know Kate loves those perks as much as they do and that even if they all refuse to film, Kate will figure out some way to keep it all. Actually that's probably going to be the last thing to go, realizing that Kate has nothing on them. Absolutely nothing. Not even the house and perks.
The next recap should be ready tomorrow or Monday, apologies for being a little behind!
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Thanks, admin. Looking forward to it. You got "a little behind" in your work? LOL! In this neck of the woods, folks say that they have a horse with a buggy behind.
A keg or two would be good right now. Is it cold under the veranda?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@shopeaves @Kateplusmy8 @TLC so how much free stuff did you give Kate for the free publicity? Did you have to sign a CA?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@DonutsForCollin @shopeaves @Kateplusmy8 @TLC @TwitTartwif lol, they didn't answer you, did they? Ugh! #disappointmentondisappointment
Why should the store answer them? So far, so good. They seem to know enough to stay out of this whole thing. Good for them.
The store Eaves is not to blame unless they begged TLC to film there. I think they needed a store that was more of a boutique. Maybe Kate has been there before. It is close to her beloved Whole Foods. I think TLC paid for the clothes rather than Eaves giving freebies. I looked online. Does the store even appeal to teenagers? It didn't look like it from what they show online.
The shop workers probably did sign NDAs though. Kate would have insisted.

@Kateplusmy8 You know you have 2have a pretty firm figure to wear #SweaterPants! Not for everybody for sure! You rocked those! Go get 'em!
((((((((
Those sweater pants were FUGLY and made Kate look like she had a big deuce in her drawers.
Milo is so damn delusional and will kiss Kate's ass no matter what she does.
A real friend would say, "Uh, no honey. Just no."
Kate may still run, just indoors now. Back when she was promoting herself as a runner, she was followed by paps but no longer now. She probably figures, what's the point? What her fans forgot with her physical fitness baloney was that she had a tummy tuck and liposuction. Her body was not the result of being a marathon runner. In fact, I noticed in the back to school show, she had arm skin wiggle. You don't get that if you truly are an exercise nut.
Kate went the glam look because of poor advice and her big head that she is a star. She's not Hollywood. She'd be accepted more if she looked more natural since she is still shilling about raising eight kids as single mom. Her fat ego just won't allow it. Her look better suits a 20-something and I agree she makes herself look older and nasty. Her best look is when she has no makeup on and her hair is pulled back.

--------
No these phrases are not common in the South. We don't speak like we live in the '50s.
No freebies. TLC gave Kate the $$$ to shop at Eaves. Common practice, since Day One, TLC gives her gift cards. It's in Robert's book. She went crazy with Ann Taylor gift cards, demanded more. Although she was not filmed shopping there, she was buying clothes for her book tour and promoting TLC.
TLC stinks (#73), yes, I don't understand all the confusion about freebies. I don't care if we watch TFW pull a roll of benjamins out of her good bra and pay for something -- she either got that money from TLC, or they're going to reimburse her. Even when she wrote out that check to Ronald McDonald house, I wouldn't be suprised if that donation was part of the episode budget. You know, the realest reality and all.
Shoot, I remember when Jon and Kate took 8 kids to the K-Mart store and paid with a credit card. The camera lingered on a close up of the card in Kate's fingers.
Product placement at its finest. That was not Jon and Kate's money behind that card.
Also, their very first shopping trip to the grocery
store where they bought organic grapes and flats of white bread involved a credit card as well. There was doubt Jon and Kate could afford all they bought that day if they were spending their own money.

I remember J+K going on GMA, hawking K-Mart's layaway program and pretending that they could barely afford to get their kids gifts and what a wonderful thing the layaway was.
Meanwhile, they'd scored a 6-figure deal with K-Mart.
I tell ya, Kate can lie with the best of them.

Remember when she and Jon went on a shopping trip and she didn't know the latest trends, and he was suggesting clothing for her because she had always worn the same color and style? They filmed her in a store. Did they ever say which store it was?
I remember back when I was 'duped' I admired the shopping trip Kate went on in one hour while a babysitter read a book as the tups napped. She had coupons and rain-checks and a calculator and said it was her job to stretch their money as far as possible while eating well. Ha, I also thought the nap was one hour and Kate went then so the sitter did not have to deal with 6 toddlers. Hahahaha.
No these phrases are not common in the South. We don't speak like we live in the '50s.
-----------------
lol!! I think that "suitor" probably goes back to the 30s and 40s!
I'd love to see what it was like living in the 50s, just for a day or so!
Formerly Duped (#78), I was impressed with that trip, too. Remember how she claimed she "never
ever ever" bought milk unless it was on sale?
And yeah, I bought the one-hour nap story, too!
She sure made it seem like a grocery shopping
trip alone was a "rare treat."
"Does the store even appeal to teenagers? It didn't look like it from what they show online."
(((((((((((((
No, it doesn't. It's something that Kate would like, not 15-year-olds, at least none that I know. It's more for the 20-something, post-college crowd.
There's a Plato's Closet in Lancaster that the kids around here love. Very trendy. However, they never would have filmed there because it's a used clothing store and far too mediocre. Moreover, Kate had to get into the act and try on clothing and she never could have rocked the styles they have there.
Compare that fistful-of-coupons grocery trip to the boutique outing on Tuesday's show. As someone else said, TFW has given up the pretense of being a struggling single mother. But with that, she has given up any genuine relatability with her audience -- if there ever was any to begin with.

I noticed that one of my fitness instructors has arm skin wiggle too, and she is very fit. The woman leads an hour-long zumba class and never sweats or falters. The arm skin wiggle comes with age, and I don't think any amount of fitness can prevent it. Certainly running wouldn't.

Pretty sure it was AT, and Kate had no shame. She told them she spends $500 a week or a month there. Holy crap! Who does that.
I think AT got a product placement on the show, and Kate turned it into the never-ending gift card.
I remember Kate's "never ever" buying milk unless it was on sale. Unless it was on sale pretty much every week in PA, that means the kids were denied milk a whole lot.
What do you put on cereal? How do you make pancakes.
She was full of it.
If milk is too expensive, you buy powdered. You don't deny your kids milk.

Kate always has to insert herself into everything the kids do. Games, clothing, shopping...
It must be hard for her girls to have a mother who always has to shine brighter than them.
Math girl, true but 40 is young for chicken flaps. She hasn't toned up her arms. It could be, though, that the excess skin is from the pregnancy. I guess she did not hit up the plastic surgeon to get rid of the flap too. Frankly, I did not blame her for getting a tummy tuck and lipo (of course it was FREE for her). I am guessing she went to a different surgeon for the boob job because Dr. Glassman said she did not need one. It is still astounding she had the nerve, while filming, to ask him for a boob job. The look on her face when he said she didn't need it said it all. She must have thought there was no way he's say no knowing they were being filmed, LOL.
Tucker's Mom (#86), if there is a Sweet 16, TFW
will make herself the center of attention, crying (read: poking and dabbing) about her babies growing up. It will be all about her.
Just as I thought, Lanc Native. The boutiques were for Kate. Not that I frequent boutiques often, but I have never seen 15 year olds shopping because the clothes are more mature. My daughter was into JCrew, Anthropologie etc which were expensive enough. I am happy with TJMaxx.
Right, Tucker's Mom. Kate inserts herself into everything on that show. Those girls are old enough to shop by themselves. I don't honk Mady and Cara were that much into those stores, particularly the second shop. In fact, although they were carrying bags out, who's to say those bags were for them and not their mother? Why not just let the girls order what they wanted online? Oh yeah, then there would be nothing to film...no mommy/daughter day.

Milk doesn't go on sale in PA. Prices may fluctuate depending on the market and prices are regulated, but there are never big "sales" on milk (like two for five, or buy one, get one), so she must have been talking about some kind of organic milk.
She went crazy with Ann Taylor gift cards, demanded more. Although she was not filmed shopping there, she was buying clothes for her book tour and promoting TLC.
--------------------
Remember when she and Jon went on a shopping trip and she didn't know the latest trends, and he was suggesting clothing for her because she had always worn the same color and style? They filmed her in a store. Did they ever say which store it was?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
They did film at Ann Taylor. I remember the shirts she picked out, and it was an AT store.
Wasn't Kate asked, years ago, how she kept her arms so toned? Didn't she say she didn't do anything, that they just were. And, of course, mentioning she had 8 kids she had to carry, sometimes 2 at a time. (The younger ones were still very young at the time.)
Moreover, Kate had to get into the act and try on clothing and she never could have rocked the styles they have there.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Kate could put on a burlap bag from Wenger Feeds and Milo would be gushin' and lustin' over her firm physique.

Have you seen Zorro the bird sing/dance 2 @selenagomez ? Omg he just did this a few min ago&we are SPEECHLESS! @TLC https://instagram.com/p/BAptutnkOXV/
&&&&&&&&&&&&&
OMG! OMG! Imagine that! The only bird in the world to sing and dance. Stop the presses. Get media coverage.
Kate should have a conversation with my Timneh Grey. An actual conversation. I can ask him a question and he answers. He tells me when it's time to go to bed (haven't taught him to bring me ice cream, though); sings several songs; knows each person (and animal) in the family by name, and lets me know when the dog needs to go out. Parrots do this. Although he's cute, Zorro is not a bird prodigy.
Oh, geez. Gladys will be all over this for days, maybe even weeks and it's going to be all about Kate. Wait for it.
Kate tweeted that Zorro is singing and dancing, and here comes Milo. Sure enough, Kate is responsible for this miraculous phenomenon.

You're right. My instructor is probably in her 50s. I forget that she's older than Kate because she is much more attractive and more energetic. And has a much nicer personality.

Right, Tucker's Mom. Kate inserts herself into everything on that show.
-------------------
I watched the video of the yoga class on the TLC website. Talk about insertion herself! Kate has been taking private yoga lessons (can't take group ones like the mediocre people) for years. So she arranged for her instructor to do a session for the kids, and she did the class too. She was quite annoyed that some of them were better at the headstand than she was, despite her large "head" start. She wanted to show off and "win" at yoga, as if yoga is a competitive sport. Oh well.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BAptutnkOXV/
I don't hear Zorro singing. Looks more like mouthing, or beaking the words.
He's adorable. I hope he's looked after for life, because he's going to live long enough for those kids to be adults and gone.
I said it before, that deck is for Kate's yoga.

I was just going to ask that question. For some reason, I can't get the audio on that video. Does the bird know the words to the song? If so, that's pretty darn good. If he's just bopping along, there's nothing unusual about that. It's what parrots do! They mimic!

'Kate Plus Date' on #KatePlus8 THIS TUESDAY AT 10pm on @TLC ..Wait.What? A #BlindDate ? Yep. Watch&see what happens..I'm SO nervous! Still!😁
********
Still? Jeebus woman, get a hold of yourself. The faux date was months ago, and you had your babysitter there the whole time!
If anyone should be nervous, it's this dude who's cred went down like 1000% because he went on a stunt date with Kate.
Every guy is going to ask him if he still has his testicles.
OOOhhh! SO the truth comes out! A 100K deck was built so TFW could sit on her flat *** on it and do YOGA!
She should be ashamed of herself. No wonder she said wellness and health. She said it was for the kids w & h, but it was for HER wellness and health.
The only thing that is going to help her wellness and health is go to a psychiatrist, get evaluated get on a med schedule and take the medicine as scheduled.
Congrats, FW. You used her kids again to get the deck, and saying that the deck was for their wellness and health. But it was all you. All you.
I thought of a show that TLC might consider.
Mady and Kate have their own show called:
Mady Plus Mom
They could make it just like the show that was on a few years ago. A girl was given $150 and a stylist at mall and she had 30 minutes to get a nice outfit as cheaply as she could. She could keep what she didn't spend. Mady and her mother could complete to get a top, pants, shoes, purse, and they had to spend 25 dollars or more on another piece of clothing. (jacket, scarves, jewelry)
The person that has spent less would win.
At least that would get Cara and the tups out of filming.
TLC does not provide entertainment unless you enjoy watching and derive pleasure from viewing stories about society's psychologically fractured human beings. People are not fans that watch; they are gawkers. What do people learn by watching Kate Gosselin? How to be an awful parent, that greed pays, children are pawns, etc. Granted, there are much worse shows on TLC. TLC refers to their talent as "compelling characters". True, because the Gosselin kids are compelling figures trapped into performing for a narcisstic parent and TLC, neither of which have any interest in the emotional well-being of these children.
Will the boys be permitted to emphasize their breathing during the private yoga sessions? Kate doesn't like to hear people breathe.
She wanted to show off and "win" at yoga, as if yoga is a competitive spor
&&&&
Only Kate could make yoga competitive with her own children. Of course she "won" when she's "competing" against her children in yoga. Oh, and I used quotes appropriately there, TFW.
Only her and Joan Crawford, if Yoga were in vogue then.
OMG! OMG! Imagine that! The only bird in the world to sing and dance. Stop the presses. Get media coverage.

Good lord, Milo. Get a grip!
Zorro is a cutie. No doubt about it. But this is not amazing behavior for a parrot. Kate is a newbie. It's kind of like first-time parents who think their babies are little geniuses and record everything they say and do! That's okay, but she's obviously not experienced in typical parrot behavior.
We have two rescue parrots here from the same family. They argue with each other. Not long ago the one was going on and on with "Raining outside," while his brother said, "Not raining." I took him to the window, showed him that it was raining, and he said, "Okay" and seemed satisfied with that, but not before he saw it for himself. Both of them need to be adopted together because even though they argue, they would be lost without each other.
These birds are fascinating and the level of intelligence and speaking ability is incredible.
What concerns me about Kate and the bird is that as far as we know, Zorro has not been DNA'ed. Zorro could very well be a female. If that's so, Kate needs to watch out for egg-binding. It can kill a bird. Kate and the kids really seem to love Zorro, and I'd hate to see anything happen to him if the bird hasn't been sexed and Kate doesn't know enough to keep an eye out for potential problems.
The store that Jon and Kate shopped in was Banana Republic. The bags were shown as they were walking to their car. The store that Kate shopped in was Ann Taylor Loft. After that episode aired, I asked the manager of my local Loft about what it entailed. She said that the company didn't want product placement so it wasn't let on that she was at Loft. If you shop at Loft, which I do, you knew where she was. Also, the employees had to clear the store out of merchandise and stock the store with the spring/summer merchandise for Kate's shopping excursion. The spring/summer line was not in stores yet when she went there. She also said Kate got a huge discount. Let's face it, TLC got a huge discount.
With regard to Kate's supposed blind date. If Kate has never met him before, why did he say, "You look younger TONIGHT." If they had just met, wouldn't he say, "You look younger in person", or something like that.
Not gonna lie,i had a parrot like zorro and she would always shake her head up and down like she was dancing whenever music was on.She was a funny bird that had character.Zorro is a cute bird dont get me wrong but Milo is acting like this bird is the only 1 who does these things.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Someone upthread mentioned the 1950's. Yes, pants were called slacks, those overshoe rainboots with side buckles were called rubbers, and savings accounts had passbooks you wrote in. I didn't know about fast food restaurants because there weren't any near my home. Fast food was a TV dinner in a sectioned aluminum tray that took >30 minutes to cook. Going to ANY restaurant was rare because Mom defrosted meat the night before and prepared a full meal every evening.
Watch any episode of Leave it to Beaver or the Donna Reed Show (*\0/* waving at Paul Peterson here) or Ozzie and Harriett. The way they lived mirrored my own life. The 50's were wonderful times for my early childhood years.

He opens his beak when the recording (Selena Gomez) sings "Can't Keep my Hands to Myself". It does look like he's lip-syncing the words, but they could have made the video first, then found a sound-track that fit it. Before that he's moving/fidgeting, but it's not particularly related to the music.

My grandmother called them galoshes. Rubbers were the things that were filled with water and thrown off the roof (Hermie, Summer of 42).
@Xxxxxxxx: @DonutsForCollin @photoshopfunnie @Kateplusmy8 well, she would know. I'll mention that to my husband who is a certified master chef...
So this woman is asking Kate for her Korean BBQ recipe because she's never liked it and wants to compare it to her husband's (who it turns out is a certified master chef. Maybe she should give him a copy of Kate's cookbook and see what he thinks of that!
Many birds enjoy loud music, dancing, commotion and being with the family. They just do. It's not harming them. As long as they are getting their required amount of sleep at night, they have fun bouncing back and forth to music. I would imagine that there is enough activity going on in that house that Zorro has adapted quite well to it. He appears to be a very social bird.
I watched the video. Something is not quite right there. I have not seen a bird who has done an authentic lip sync. Usually the videos are edited. They either say words, sing, or they don't. The dancing back and forth looks legit, but I can't make out if Zorro is saying any words or not. I wasn't aware the bird had learned any words, such as hello, or what's up, or anything else. It is highly doubtful the bird knows those particular words to that song. It takes a long time for birds to use words and phrases and the bird either learns it on its own or is taught. It's repetition, repetition, repetition, and the only way that Zorro would know those particular words is from hearing them repeatedly or someone taught him those particular lyrics, which I really doubt.
A bit corny, just wanted to share.
Cleaning up after dinner. House is still warm from the oven. Wiping the counters, putting away the crinkled stained recipe, I am reminded of a day now decades ago. Mom grading me on home economics homework..or was it for a Girl Scout badge? Honestly I don't remember which. I do remember that she made me feel proud and protected, and realized she understood me.
My assignment was to prepare cook/bake, follow a recipe and have a parent grade the experience - using the right tools, preparation, taste and even cleanup.
My mom worked outside the home and by this time I had often prepared simple meals for our large chaotic family. We like many families struggled financially.
I was tired that evening, and the cleanup was lacking. I didn't have all the ingredients either, we made it work. My mom gave me a grade far superior than I had earned.
My mom had a wonderful sense of humor. She said to me something about having so many siblings, our kitchen always having clutter, my brother's basketball in the kitchen, - none of which I had control over. She signed the paper, kissed me and made hot chocolate. I can't explain in words why exactly this experience made me feel safe and secure. As far back as I can remember I trusted my Mom. We never competed; she nurtured and we grew.
I find the older I get the more I miss my mom.
Now feeling sentimental about parents and children and this appears on social media - An excerpt from a letter Albert Einstein wrote to his son.
"I am very pleased that you find joy with the piano. This and carpentry are in my opinion for your age the best pursuits, better even than school. Because those are things which fit a young person such as you very well. Mainly play the things on the piano which please you, even if the teacher does not assign those. That is the way to learn the most, that when you are doing something with such enjoyment that you don’t notice that the time passes. I am sometimes so wrapped up in my work that I forget about the noon meal. . . ."
Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that the language on Kate's TL is becoming garbage talk and disgusting, and the accusations more and more exaggerated, almost bordering on libel/defamation? I mean, I know it's Twitter and anything goes, but it just seems to me that there's some really nasty stuff being said there by both sides. Has it always been that bad -- the name-calling, the F-bombs, C words, etc? I just don't recall it happening so frequently. These are adults, for heaven's sake. Do they go after other people in the real world like this, or only when they can hide on Twitter? Kate needs to close that thing down.
I was watching the kids' baking competition on the Food Network. Valerie Bertinelli was one of the judges. She is so bubbly, has such a personality and was so kind to those kids, giving them praises, laughing with them and complimenting them while giving constructive cricism. Kate has no such personality, which is why she has failed at all cooking shows. She just couldn't do it, either as a contestant or a judge. Not only that, but she can't talk. She can't find two coherent sentences with a flashlight.

Just wanted to say I felt every word you typed & if l had a mother such as you had, l would miss her too. Unfortunately, mine was like Kate Gosselin and I was treated same as the G boys. My mother considered girls as icky, dirty and only good for housework.

"Emily: Oh, Mama, look at me one minute as though you really saw me. Mama, fourteen years have gone by. I'm dead. You're a grandmother, Mama! Wally's dead, too. His appendix burst on a camping trip to North Conway. We felt just terrible about it - don't you remember? But, just for a moment now we're all together. Mama, just for a moment we're happy. Let's really look at one another!...I can't. I can't go on.It goes so fast. We don't have time to look at one another. I didn't realize. So all that was going on and we never noticed. Take me back -- up the hill -- to my grave. But first: Wait! One more look. Good-bye , Good-bye world. Good-bye, Grover's Corners....Mama and Papa. Good-bye to clocks ticking....and Mama's sunflowers. And food and coffee. And new ironed dresses and hot baths....and sleeping and waking up. Oh, earth,you are too wonderful for anybody to realize you. Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it--every,every minute?
Stage Manager: No. The saints and poets, maybe they do some."
Thanks for sharing, reader. Looking back, I should have savored each moment, knowing that it would not last forever, and wishing now that I could return, even for a day.
I feel so sorry for Kate's kids. They will never know a nurturing mom who gives those hot cocoa kisses, nor the safe and secure feeling that comes from being loved unconditionally.

Reader, 124. Thank you for that beautiful memory. Your post warmed my heart.
NYY Julianna - Our Town, read that so long ago. Saw the play too. I was young and remember thinking, why so few props...lol.
We should appreciate the details and interactions of everyday life while we live them. Seems simple.
This veranda, everyone (even those in the corner) what a great group! I'm speechless, almost verklempt.
Oh, reader. I know what you mean. I was watching "You've Got Mail" the other night. There is a scene where Meg Ryan is sitting alone and says, "I was thinking about it tonight as I was decorating my tree. Unwrapping ornaments made of Popsicle sticks and missing my mother so much I almost couldn't breathe. I always miss my mother at Christmas, but it is worse this year since I need some advice from her. I need her to make me cocoa and tell me that everything going badly|in my life will sort itself out."
At the end, when she's closing the doors to her shop for the last time and taking the bell off the door, the lights fade in the empty room, and there is a flashback to her as a young girl, twirling with her mother. I always reach for a tissue during that part when I think about my childhood and my own mother.

reader and Julianna...
The 1940 black and white movie with William Holden and Martha Stuart was on television the other night. I had not seen it before and it was strange with props, but very well done. The ending was changed, and Emily really didn't die, but the entire cemetery scene was just a dream. In the movie version, she said that she wanted to live and she gave birth and they lived happily ever after. I was reading some background on the movie, and apparently the screenplay writers got permission from Wilder to change the ending.
reader, count me in too for a beautiful post!
It took me back to my childhood when my mother who was very sick had to work a full time job in town, take care of 2 little kids, cook, clean, iron, can over 500 quarts of food and a freezer full of vegetables during the summer, do my grandmother's laundry, then having to deal with an extremely difficult husband and many other things.
I will never forget when my mother told me that she would let me and my little brother play under the kitchen table while she cleaned the kitchen up after supper. She scrubbed it clean and when she was done she would always find me and my brother passed out asleep under the table.
As tired as she was, she would pick each of us up, put us in our beds, give us a kiss, covered us up and we would feel safe.
There was a big cedar tree about 100 ft. way from the house and I would take a quilt and my dolls, a couple of bowls, wooden spoons and pretend to make a cake. I would sneak back into the house and get eggs and make a batter with the dirt and eggs. I can still hear the wooden spoon scraping the batter off the sides of the bowl because of the grit.
My mother was so stunned that we would sneak in and get eggs to play with. She would say, I never knew you came in and got eggs! Then she would laugh.
Thank you reader, I haven't thought about this in awhile!
Funny Zorro is singing to Selena Gomez....right before she goes on tour this spring....
Anonymous, I thought the same thing. Has she ever paid for concert tickets?
Can someone please explain this Zorro mishegas?
I will not click on Bird Brain's link, but I admit I'm curious. Is she saying they were all just sitting around, enjoying a cozy Gosselin family Sunday, when their bird spontaneously burst into song and started to bust a move? Then, unable to believe this amazing, never-before-seen talent, one of them grabbed a camera phone and shot it
to share with their fans?
Gotta give TFW a little credit for hustle. Tweeting on the weekend and not waiting until Tuesday afternoon to try to drum up viewers.
I really need a friend right now.
A Vonage friend! I am wanting to switch to Vonage and I need someone who has Vonage so I can get referred and we can get a 50 dollar e-card after 2 months of paid service. Thanks!
Funny Zorro is singing to Selena Gomez....right before she goes on tour this spring....
Yeah, funny thing.
That was my first thought. She's grifting for tickets.
Remember when she and Jon went on a shopping trip and she didn't know the latest trends, and he was suggesting clothing for her because she had always worn the same color and style? They filmed her in a store. Did they ever say which store it was?
They never said, but it was the Banana Republic outlet store. And they had a looooooooonnnnggggg receipt.
Kit Kat
I remember back when I was 'duped' I admired the shopping trip Kate went on in one hour while a babysitter read a book as the tups napped. She had coupons and rain-checks and a calculator and said it was her job to stretch their money as far as possible while eating well. Ha, I also thought the nap was one hour and Kate went then so the sitter did not have to deal with 6 toddlers. Hahahaha
She was gone 2 hours. They had a count down clock. The kids were at least 2.5 as they were in the Elizabethtown home. So she probably couldn't keep them in their cribs 4 hours anymore. She may have put them up there before she actually left. They were watching DVD's by then. The camera got shots of them sleeping while she was away.
I think we found out per the book that that grocery trip was paid for it I am not mistaken.
She went crazy with Ann Taylor gift cards, demanded more. Although she was not filmed shopping there, she was buying clothes for her book tour and promoting TLC.
I noticed AAK ( all about Kate) dresses more "down" then she did before. Yes she doesn't do book tours anymore. But I noticed in season 5 she would still " dress up" even for the couch interviews and she would be in full makeup. I wonder what changed? Or is this TLCs way of making Kate appear as just another everyday mom to viewers
On C-Span TV they are having a TWO hour debate on whether to ban Trump from the UK. They do not have good things to say about him. But I don't think they are going to ban him. They don't want to make him a martyr. That was their words. One man called him crazy. Another said the US has had a few presidents that would not have qualified for Mensa membership. They had a petition with over 1/2 million signatures to ban him and therefore had to take up the issue.

Utter silliness, imo. Whether or not you support or like Trump, he's not the anti-Christ.
Talk about tilting at windmills.
She looks better without all the thick makeup so it may just be she is taking somebody's advice or it would look ridiculous to be in full makeup and nice clothes while doing outside chores in sweltering heat. The refinishing the picnic table was about showing how thrifty she is (why not just buy a new one) and getting the kids to participate for the camera.

Here's a rhyme for Gladys about the blind date
that's a little more on point:
"A date with a charm-free, narcissistic shrew?
I'd run far, far away -- wouldn't you?"
Bill O'Reiley rhetorically asked doesn't the UK have freedom of speech. I agree it is ridiculous. What would happen if he becomes President. But out of the 30 minutes or so that I have watched on and off they have called him a fool, demagogue, and worse. But others are standing up for him.

The man can talk and talk and talk and talk and talk.
I remember when we first started talking about him politically, not just in reference to Kate being on CA.
This sh*t is getting real...
I haven't the foggiest idea why England is spending all this time banning someone who hasn't even secured the nomination yet. If they ban him it's not the end of the world. Going to the uk is not part of the regular duties of our president. Much ado about nothing.

Anson Williams, Bob Warden, Mona Dolgov
The Perfect Portion cookbook is filled with 150 delicious comfort food recipes, all crafted with the right ingredients, so you don't have to give up the foods you love! Everything from French Toast to Lasagna and Apple Turnovers, all with easy, perfect portion control, using our SIMPLE, revolutionary 100 Calorie Counting System. Now, without worry or guilt, we can all eat perfect portions of the foods we love.
He was on the TODAY show cooking and looked great!
His name is first, but I would bet that they all get a third unlike someone we know. How TFW cheated Beth out of her money was awful. TFW hardly did anything to write that book. Beth should of gotten 75 percent, IMO. But thank goodness Beth and her husband had the sense to get it in writing and you know when it was presented to the princess, the aorta in her neck was registering Defcon 1!!

Oh, yeah, he knows the entire song, doofus, and spontaneously broke into song without ever having been taught. Didn't someone on here use the term beaking or beak syncing? Milo isn't clever enough to pick this up on her own.
I thought the same thing about tweeting Gomez. First thought that came to my mind, but I was too lazy to look it up to see if there was a concert in the near future.

@Kateplusmy8 WATCHING COMMERCIALS FOR 2NITE.....I'M SO GLAD YOUR FINALLY GONNA MAKE YOU HAPPY. LONG TIME COMING....BE HAPPY.
Someone will be disappointed if they turn on TLC night and expect to see Kate being happied-up.
Bill O'Reiley rhetorically asked doesn't the UK have freedom of speech. I agree it is ridiculous. What would happen if he becomes President. But out of the 30 minutes or so that I have watched on and off they have called him a fool, demagogue, and worse. But others are standing up for him.
-------------------
I'm confused. If who becomes President? O'Reilly? A "what if" is a moot point. He certainly does write some very good books, though...best ones I have read on the Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations.

#Cupid...draw back your bow & let your arrow go..Tues.10pm @TLC @Kateplusmy8 goes on a BLIND DATE! He's a handsome guy...will sparks fly? :)
******
I hope Milo has an extra pack of Depends for THE DATE OF THE CENTURY tomorrow.
Let's see, will sparks fly? Well, what with her married luvuh just steps away, an entire film crew peering down upon them the entire time, and lots of discussion about 8 children, what guy wouldn't be hot to trot?
I hope the guy got hazard pay.
---------------------
Hey, Gladys...what about the other lyrics to that song that go something like this?
"Now I don't mean to bother you but I'm in distress
There's danger of me losing all of my happiness"
Let's change that up to "there's danger of me losing all of my manliness," not to mention testicles.
The refinishing the picnic table was about showing how thrifty she is (why not just buy a new one) and getting the kids to participate for the camera.
-------------
I wonder if they threw away that table after they filmed that little project.
A Vonage friend! I am wanting to switch to Vonage and I need someone who has Vonage so I can get referred and we can get a 50 dollar e-card after 2 months of paid service. Thanks!
--------------
redbird, a friend had Vonage and couldn't wait to get away from them because it was so bad. I only heard part of the horror story and I don't know too much about them. Perhaps there are some here who have positive experiences with them and are satisfied with the service. Have you checked the reviews on them, and also the complaints under Pissed Consumer?
Banning in the UK has nothing to do with him becoming President. They banned an American for being a member of the KKK and Nazi party. Trump sounds a lot like the people they've already banned.
He was on the TODAY show cooking and looked great!

I caught a glimpse of that segment and thought, "wow, he looks like Potsie, but nah...couldn't be!".
I'll have what he's having ;-)

Can you imagine sitting down to your nice Manhatten restaurant meal and a camera crew entourage barges in? And what about Steve hovering by the table making sure the throngs of fans stay away? Why is she leaving the date in a stretch limo? Can't she take a cab or Uber like everyone else? Man, I cannot wait to hear the baloney she makes up about that date. Jeff Prescott will be celebrating tomorrow night he escaped.
I can guarantee you the Mady/Cara cooking for the tups did not happen the same night the date was filmed. That would have involved TWO Figure 8 crews.

They should ban him if they want. They should ban whoever they feel is a threat to their country. He's not British and has no right to be there and does not have British rights.
Unfortunately some don't want Americans to have the same liberal courtesy to ban threats even speculative ones, which is Trump's point.
Blowing, what would happen if Trump became President. O'Reily isn't running. Having the President of the US banned from the UK would be very weird to say the least. And to make it stranger the UK is a great ally of the US.
Admin., they are talking about Trump being banned as a citizen only.
reader, thank you for sharing that beautiful memory; it made me tear up. I'm so glad you have such happy memories from your childhood.
NOIP, I understand your feelings as I had an abusive childhood. I used to feel bad about not having good memories, but now I rejoice in the good life the Lord has given me and the memories I now have of my adult life. Love and peace to you, hon.
I hope that Kate has enough sense to bring Shoka inside. Windchill tonight is supposed to be minus seven. I really doubt that he was inside when Zorro was out of his cage and dancing.
Milo will not only wet her pants during the love fest episode, but when she hears that the forecast is for 8 to 12 inches of snow this weekend, she will pester the daylights out of Kate for a photo of the Deckster. I just want to see Kate shovel snow off those spiral steps.

No, I think they're talking about even allowing him into the country apparently. Why would he even be eligible for citizenship or want it?
Piers Morgan actually wrote a very well thought out opinion piece about this, saying look, I don't agree with Trump's opinions on many things including Muslims, but it is really embarrassing and a waste of our taxpayer dollars to spend time debating this absurd issue. We should be debating how to protect ourselves from terrorism and other VERY pressing issues in Great Britain.
This was I think his best line: "Britain throws down the red carpet and blares out the royal bugles all the time for leaders of countries with heinous human rights records."
Yeah really. Has Trump ever killed anyone? I didn't think so. He's just a politician with ideas. Who the heck cares if he wants to spend his holiday visiting Big Ben? Ban him if they want I don't care but don't waste time doing so.
Color me not surprised actually Trump is the leading story now so long after he announced his bid for election. Americans are tired of this and similar whining, and are saying so in the polls. I think if this were Jeb Bush people would be saying the nomination is a lock. I think he's got the nomination, and I would not be at all surprised if a year from now he's being sworn in.

Such as? I don't know anything about UK politics. Trump isn't, as far as I know, a member of the KKK or Nazi party or a lot like them.

Lol. I don't know. But *nothing* would happen. We'd go along belly aching as usual in D.C. and nothing would get done. Or maybe, just maybe, a business man has a good idea about the best people to put in his cabinet and some positive things might get accomplished.
I find it kind of ironic they call Trump a fear monger when their basic premise as to why we shouldn't vote for him is based entirely on fear mongering. Thus far I haven't heard a single good reason not to cast my vote for him that doesn't play directly to speculative fears of what "might" happen, based very little on anything he's actually said and based largely on Nazism.
RIP Glenn Frey of the Eagles. It just keeps happening...
By the way--in direct reference to Kate, this is the second opinion piece I've seen in two days written by ex-Celebrity Apprentice contestants in support of Trump. The earlier one was another well thought piece by Jesse James. He explained the kinder side of Trump he saw, which included regularly getting coffee with and chatting with the blue collars working for him. While I won't vote for someone just because behind closed doors they are nice (or not nice, or whatever), I do find first hand accounts of all the politicians behind the scenes and how they conduct themselves on a daily basis important.
I wonder if Schmoopy'll weigh in. Heh.
His name is first, but I would bet that they all get a third unlike someone we know. How TFW cheated Beth out of her money was awful. TFW hardly did anything to write that book. Beth should of gotten 75 percent, IMO. But thank goodness Beth and her husband had the sense to get it in writing and you know when it was presented to the princess, the aorta in her neck was registering Defcon 1!!
+++++++++++++++
Was it ever disclosed how much Beth got for writing the book? I remember that there was an issue with her going on the book tour and on television appearances, but when was the amount she received confirmed?
Nice to see you posting again LoveMyGrandsons. Hope all is well with you & your family.

Or unemployment compensation if he was paid by TLC.
Milo tweeted that Kate is dating and she is happy. Either she knows something that Kate shared with her in their other ways of communicating, or she is just spouting off as usual. If this is the guy she is dating, then he must really be hard up (no pun intended) or he is a glutton for punishment. His hot to trot may change to "cool to pursue."
jolie Jacquelyn,
Thank you, Jolie. My family is doing well, and of course my grandsons are gorgeous as ever! I hope all is well with you, hon.

I don't think Milo's clued in yet about the upcoming Snowmageddon. She's going to be pestering Kate around the clock, worrying about a g-d brand new deck.
I'm sure Kate will get as much mileage out of the storm as she can.
Oh, no! Will Kate and her kids survive in their 8K square foot home?????
Will Kate snow plow the driveway with pictures to boot?
Golly gee, I hope so!!!!!!!
Reader, fidosmommy and redbird: I love to hear personal stories and experiences as it reinforces my already positive opinion of the posters here.
Fidosmommy, I also remember the 50s as those were my childhood years. I recall having to wear gloves and hat to church or to any special occasion.
Those were the days when all adults were authority figures and we listened to them with respect. Well, most of the time.
We played school yard games and chanted rhymes which have now disappeared from the playground.
In the days before everyone had air conditioning, we stayed outside on hot humid days and waited for the sun to go down and for the house to cool down. Families sat on their porches and verandas (!!) and chatted with neighbours and passers-by.
Before everyone had pools we would run through sprinklers or go to the public pool.
They were lovely memories although I guess that kids today have their own lovely memories. Just different.

Sanders/Trump? Quite possible.
I'm trying to embrace any and all possibilities and just keep an open and as informed mind as possible.
Otherwise, I think my head would explode!

Wow, it sure is....
I'm just getting over Bowie. This is a lot to come to terms with.
One of the first albums I ever got-in fact, given to me as a present- was The Eagles greatest hits, 1971-1975.
This was from a really cool uncle & aunt who paired it up with a Doobie Bros. album.
I felt so grown up!
And soooooo cewl ;-)
Milo is just running at the mouth. Kate's not dating anyone. I believed the Jeff Prescott relationship because of the pictures and there were rumors she went places with him in other states. I think the relationship cooled off during the summer. She's a user but Jeff isn't a twenty year old like Jon was. He came to realize that association with her was nothing but bad news.
I don't think Milo's clued in yet about the upcoming Snowmageddon. She's going to be pestering Kate around the clock, worrying about a g-d brand new deck.

Well, Milo better get her rear end in gear because she has only four days of alertin' her darling for the impending event. Thing is, though, nobody seems to know what track the storm will take. It could go south into Joy's territory and miss us entirely.
Of course, if Milo gets frantic about it, she could always head north and make her home on the deck, shovel in hand, with easy access to the windows, for peering purposes.
I do find first hand accounts of all the politicians behind the scenes and how they conduct themselves on a daily basis important.

Me too. I'm going to check this out:

I think Kate and Beth got 100K up front, to split. So, when Kate slapped Jon's name on the book, she tried to take quite a bit away from Beth, if not all of it.
Don't quote me on the number- I'd have to look it up in Robert's book.
@Over in TFW's county Does anyone even believe Kate private messages some of her fans?Because msgoody made a tweet a couple of days ago saying that she just got Kate's PM and Kate was confused by it.There have been moments where Goody has blown smoke and bragged about how she knows what goes on in that house.Then again she said she knows milo even though they live in different states.It would be insane if Kate did actually PM her die hard fans and told them info that goes on.Even though it would be Kate's word,so in the end they wouldn't know.
"The earlier one was another well thought piece by Jesse James." (admin, 177).

Wasn't his body exhumed sometime during the 90s to prove through DNA that he really was killed in Missouri by the Ford brothers, just prior to his plans to rob yet another bank? ;)
"Who the heck cares if he wants to spend his holiday visiting Big Ben? Ban him if they want I don't care but don't waste time doing so."
===================
lol!! Maybe they are afraid that he's going to hit on Kate Middleton!
I agree. Ban him or get off the pot.

On the flip side, what would happen if Hillary became President, only to be indicted and sentenced to some jail time? How weird would it be to set up an oval office in corrections? Of course, Al Capone did have a really nice cell set up for him in Eastern State Penitentiary!
Sarcasm, of course...

Race and religion based murders egged on by a narcissistic sociopath or months and months of possible impeachment trial caused by a narcissistic sociopath? Somebody, anybody, bless America. Please!
Admin., they are talking about Trump being banned as a citizen only.

Sorry, I didn't mean the UK are talking about banning Trump as a citizen of their country. I was talking about the UK banning the US citizen Trump from their country. You initially thought they were talking about banning him if he became president. And I was just clarifying that they are talking about banning the US citizen Trump. Sorry for the confusion.
I noticed a couple weeks ago that TV ratings were being counted differently. There were articles about it on both Showbuzz and tvbythenumbers. Something about changing the number of boxes to tally the ratings. I just skimmed it. Oddly, though, immediately after that a lot of TLC shows jumped in ratings. The 7 little Johnstons went way up, the last show with the Duggar girls jumped way up, and so did K+8. I wonder if this new system accounts for the sudden increase in ratings.
On a sour note, reality TV sucks. There is a new Real Housewives show set here, and nobody is happy about it. They will just cheapen what is actually a very nice community and portray the women as a bunch of backstabbing harpies. The Real Housewives of DC was bad enough, and everyone was happy that it needed after one season. But they just won't go away. I hope this one ends soon, too.
"British lawmaker: Trump a "bafoon""
Is this the same as a buffoon? Is it pronounced differently in the UK? lol!
I'm still confused on how television ratings are compiled accurately. So it makes absolutely no difference to those numbers what I watch or dvr?
