Gawker reported on Wednesday, Aug. 19, that the former 19 Kids and Counting star may have spent as much as $986.76 for two subscriptions on AshleyMadison.com — a site that helps married people find others for affairs. Open discussion...
I doubt they knew - it was revealed in a hack. Which gives it more credibility, because if it was just exposed somehow (by a former employee or another client who ran to a tabloid), they could claim that someone set it up to make him look even worse. But it went on for years, while his wife was pregnant several times, and the addresses line up too, which they tend to do when using credit cards.
Wait for the press conference - by the parents - while he says nothing. And by all means, girls, keep on posting to your instagram and twitter accounts, because one can never have too much attention! Nothing to see or be concerned about here, nosiree!
Despite this, you can pretty much predict they will continue to seek the limelight and are apparently trying to stay on TV in any way possible. (When they claim to not even watch TV - but expect others to watch them.) They are such hypocrites. The majority has spoken but they appear to be deaf. They are yucky.
I wondered the same thing - they are all SO sheltered from the outside/real world (the one they want to watch them) and have had no normal teenage or dating experiences. Everything is forbidden - except that everything they are denying these kids is human nature. We have hormones for a reason. We volunteered for Special Olympics and had a few 'oh dear!' moments with some of the boys when all the girls were in bathing suits. But what they were experiencing is natural. Attraction, physical touch, happy excitement, wanting to hug or kiss someone......we are MADE to want those things!!
I couldn't watch them (except for one episode and clips here and there) so I didn't know that. Eww, why talk it about it at all. But they DO make it seem dirty by forbidding the most basic and benign things, like a kiss or hug, or a date without chaperones. We need to make mistakes as we go along - that's how we learn some very valuable lessons.
This dang robot thing is giving me pies. I don't even like pie that much but a slice of warm pecan pie sounds so good now.
I wonder if divorce is allowed in their private tax free church? While I feel for Anna, she had to know something was off about his past and the family cover up. This seemed to be a arranged marriage all done by Jim Bob. I think there is more to come, makes me wonder what Jim Bob hides behind his creepy smile? Only dating within your religion?/scary, no regular dating or just hanging with friends from school (home schooled), no interaction in their community, Jim Bob always talking about sex, but yet he gives them a book about sex right before they are married. Eww, what Dad does that?
It's time TLC pulls anything to do with this family. They must live in a small community and their church family should ban them unless others are doing the same thing? Jim Bob spoke of things that his church family had gone through with some of their children, but it starts at home, so I hope he doesn't stand behind his preaching and Bible to cover this up. There is no spin to this, Josh has had problems all along, but something hidden in him makes me wonder what is going to come out?
Betty, the link still worked for me. Here's what the statement says: Statement from Josh Duggar:
I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife.
I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him.
I brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends and the fans of our show with my actions that happened when I was 14-15 years old, and now I have re-broken their trust.
The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country, in my heart I had allowed Satan to build a fortress that no one knew about.
As I am learning the hard way, we have the freedom to choose to our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. I deeply regret all hurt I have caused so many by being such a bad example.
I humbly ask for your forgiveness. Please pray for my precious wife Anna and our family during this time.
FYI, the link's not working for me either. Maybe he's tweeking his statement.
It seems a strange thing to put on the family website. What a conversation that must have been..... "Mom, dad, I need the password so I can publicly apologize for cheating on my wife."
I can see it on ROL and People and all over the place, thanks PJ. I just could not see it on their own website. But I am pretty sure they took it down. I think you were seeing it because you still had it in your cache.
This turd has changed his statement several times. You know, if he was REALLY seeking God, he would just leave the original statement alone, take responsibility for all of it, and keep taking steps to move forward. But no, they hire a firm to guide them through this. And THAT makes them all look shady as hell. Hypocrites. http://gawker.com/josh-duggars-apology-i-have-been-the-biggest-hypocrit-1725405629?utm_campaign=socialflow_gawker_twitter&utm_source=gawker_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow
Yes he changed his statement, wanting everyone to pray for him and his family, what a loser he is. Jim Bob said that he never used credit cards, but yet Josh had credit cards to do this. The spin will never work for this family, although I do feel sorry for Anna and her family and the kids, but if she stays with him, this tells me way more about the behind doors of this so called religion that they preach from. Maybe an investigation of Jim Bobs computer should be looked at? Not saying anything is there, but the family had computers, phones, while TV was not allowed. That is very strange to me.
When the first story broke, his brother's relationship was over. Who would want your daughter or son to be involved in all of this?
I'm sitting here, waiting for banana bread to bake. I was cruising the magazine websites and one story recommended this. Interesting that Anna is part of the wedding party and not Josh, eh? Did Josh's victim refuse to have him be part of her wedding party? We'll never know. http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/jill-duggar-and-derick-dillard-wedding-album-20142410/41677
My husband and I were going back and forth on email today because he had one concall after another. I sent him the confession and this is what he said. Sadly, I think he may be on to something - just like Farkle's wondering about the family, including Jim Bob's computer, just above. The whole thing is just sordid and ugly, and yes, very calculated - and controlled.
"But the sick part about our world these days is that I am a cynic now and I think this is actually calculated. Gets his name in the papers again, gets the press on him. He will next announce he is going in for therapy. Then he will write a book, go on the speaking circuit and day time TV and the money will come flowing in. He and his wife will reunite and spin a happy clappy story of redemption and they will make bank….ie. Gone Girl"
Seems he had a fake Facebook account to, he talked to strippers and lingerie models. WTH is this family been doing? Something here is way off about all of this. There is no way Anna didn't suspect something? Who has that kind of time with a job, and family to do this, being a young Father involved on a TV program.
I doubt there will be a book, money tour, etc. Josh has exposed the Quiverfall (sp) fake religion, makes you wonder about what they have been teaching their young men in Sunday School classes.
I saw that, Farkle. Anna is probably so busy with three and now four very small kids, when would she have time to suspect anything? As I said, I never watched, but assume the men let the women do all the 'lady' things, which is pretty much everything around the house and with the kids, and if true, Josh would have plenty of time on his hands. Especially late at night when everyone was asleep (or whatever).
I doubt there will be a tour either, but I bet they try!
Wow, this 'prove you're not a robot' is stuck on pancakes today. It would be funny if they were stuck on Band-Aid.
My father always said you could never trust the man who prays the loudest. This is a perfect example. I'll bet that some of Josh's sibs are gonna resent him and what his actions have done to their family for the rest of their lives.
"My father always said you could never trust the man who prays the loudest" Wow! so true Quiltart.
I really don't believe Anna knew or suspected. In their faith women are taught to not question and to obey. Anna was young and sheltered when she married. I just don't think Anna or any of them saw this coming.
Quiltart, the Bible even says not to be like that guy who prays the loudest. You're right. This is a perfect example. And if they're praying, why do they need a PR firm to navigate them out of this? The Bible says nothing about damage control or PR firms. So funny that the people who claim not to watch TV are addicted to the attention that TV has brought them and have every other type of social media. Ugh. Suppertime. And not pancakes either. Have a good night, all.
I would be willing to bet there is a lot more about the Duggars that we don't know. Jim Bob looks like a creepy little perv to me,his constant obsession with sex has screwed up his children's lives.If you really think about it all these cult like religions focus entirely too much about sex in a completely unhealthy and unnatural way and in a lot of cases the leaders turn out to be abusers themselves.I could not stand the Duggars from day one,especially the way they treated the girls like slaves and Jim Bob's slick backed hair and the sick little lear on his face.The only good that could come of this is the possibility this will give some of the children the courage to realize that the life that they have been forced to live is one giant lie and they will get out.
I also don't think Anna knew anything about what Josh was doing. Cheaters can be awful sneaky.
I hope Anna has the strength to leave him. Other than holding marriage sacred, I'm not familiar with how their religion views divorced women, I hope they don't think they are "ruined" for life and used goods for another man.
So is TLC still going to put this family on TV? The Duggers need to be removed from the special.
Reading around, twitter is on fire about this, asking for prayers for their family is not going to help Josh, he needs to go to sex rehab and pay for his molestation crimes. I think divorce is not an option in the fake religion for Anna, but it's time someone investigates Josh's home and remove the children from seeing him. CPS should be all over this. I would rather see Anna and her children on welfare than to have to live with this perv. If her parents allow her to stay married to him because of their religion, something is way off here.
I do feel awful for Anna and the kids. With everything she has on her plate (and the unquestioningly obey your husband BS) I truly don't think she had a clue. Poor thing.
Looks like Josh used someone's profile pic for his dating service also. This is a real person and I see a huge lawsuit coming against him. He had a fake Facebook account when he lived with his parents, did I read that right? If so, their computers in their home has lots on it.
Check out Daily Mail, seems Jessa is defending her brother after the latest news on him. The sermon in church this am she said was about sex. I used to feel sorry for the girls, they are adults and should know right from wrong by now, maybe they love the lifestyle they live in. If they are teaching their children this, another generation of abuse is coming from this family. It's really time for TLC to cut all ties with this whole family. imo
The haters ran a long conversation with themselves yesterday, accusing Kate of abusing Collin. It's amazing how they think they know everything that goes on in Kate's house without ever having been there or meeting her. What evil creatures they are!
I just logged back in, didn't see your message. I doubt Anna will leave him, no education, no $ and she has to please Josh and Jim Bob. How dreadful for her, but her parents must not care that their daughter has to live this way. :( This so called religious crap that they stand behind is creepy.
Ouiltart,
Enjoy your vacation. School has started here, schedules being met again has been a real drag. :) Football is in the air!
Check out ' In Touch" today, Josh Dugger has been outed again. This train wreck for Anna has to be horrible. If CPS doesn't get involved, there is something wrong in Ark.
Something tells me something is very hidden in the Duggar home, rough sex has to be taught, the women of this family are living a nightmare. My opinion.
Lets hope it is a real treatment center and not building a house.
Duggar Family Statement August 26, 2015 We are so thankful for the outpouring of love, care and prayers for our family during this most difficult situation with Josh. As parents we are so deeply grieved by our son’s decisions and actions. His wrong choices have deeply hurt his precious wife and children and have negatively affected so many others. He has also brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear. Yesterday Josh checked himself into a long-term treatment center. For him it will be a long journey toward wholeness and recovery. We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change. In the meantime, we will be offering our love, care and devoted support to Anna and our grandchildren as she also receives counsel and help for her own heart and future. During this time we continue to look to God—He is our rock and comfort. We ask for your continued prayers for our entire family.
Surprising he is getting any help at all, who is paying for this? The so called fake church so they can write off the expenses? Where is this long term place that Josh checked into? Is it hiding with a church leader under the radar, out of sight? Once again, they cover for the loser son, hopefully we never see this family on TV anywhere again.
My hope was for the Duggers was to come out and say it would be ok for Anna to divorce Josh and encourage her to do it, instead they hide behind the God act once again. The Duggers only think of themselves, Anna does not need help with Josh's problems, she needs a good lawyer. Hopefully her brother and sister will get people in the know involved and get her away from this family.
Why does it take being busted to seek rehab? He could have gone anytime in the past several years and nobody would have known. He is a sexual predator. He belongs on the registered sex offender list. They make me sick. I feel sorry for all his victims and that includes his wife and kids. They do not deserve any of this.
How in the world did the BL pass the CA bar when she thinks that speaking to a tabloid is equal to "reporting a crime?" She is truly an idiot. *********************** Ass-istant to Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said... 30 Josh is displaying some of the classic signs of a sociopath.
I tend to believe the prostitute and her story. That's a pretty huge claim to make, criminal even. She's basically accusing him of domestic violence. If it weren't true, she could go to jail for falsely reporting a crime.
The call girl didn't report anything, she just told her story. The BL calls out false reporting, omg, that is priceless coming from her. So does that mean just because 8 minor kids haven't reported her hate blog and fetish site to the cops, it's not there everyday for the world to see?? Wonder if someone is worried about what is yet to come out? Her creepy site could maybe be exposed???
Josh Dugger had a OK Cupid hookup account also. (This was reported on twitter). I wonder if he looked at these accounts when he visited his parents home after he moved to DC? Me thinks he has many accounts on different sites that has not come out yet.
John Dugger flew his plane the night of Aug 24th from Springfield Ark. to Rockford, Illinois at 10:45 pm, landing for about 10 minutes before returning to Ark. The Duggers have a religious connection there: Reformers Unanimous Facility. This is a rehab for drugs and booze, not sex addiction.
LOL, the BL never disappoints. She just admitted that she and her minions are the bitter, nasty people they've consistently show themselves to be. They're "realists," ya'll.
Ass-istant to Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said... 8 I wonder if it's an evolutionary thing. People who are good at ignoring the truth, and looking at the world through rose colored glasses and refusing to see very bad things happening to them, don't get sad or depressed. The happier and more content and oblivious you are, the better your chance is at survival.
The realists like us actually wouldn't last a day in cavemen times. We'd be like, people, we are screwed. That woolly mammoth is three times our size. We don't have a chance against it. And then we'd go off ourselves in despair.
So Josh Dugger will be spending 6 months of hard labor and church, costing $7500.00 dollars in Ill. ( Daily Mail reporting) What a scam once again by Jim Bob and Michelle. This family is evil, and Anna's family is worse, leaving her there with them.
Anyone know what they are building in that town that would require hard labor? We now know what hard labor did for him last time. TLC is still going to air this sick family this weekend, boycott! The icky feeling from all this maybe it's been the norm for all of them. It's amazing no one from Jim Bob's town is speaking out against them, something is way off with all of this.
I seem to always agree with everything you post. TLC is in this for the ratings and my guess is there will lot's of curious viewers but I will not be one of them.
Sue_Buddy has left a new comment on the post "Josh Duggar enters rehab after admitting to an Ash...": Good grief! Does someone really have this much time on their hands? WHO CARES! ///////////////////////
DisgustedwithKate said... 58 I am not sure if this has been posted but I read on someone's Twitter timeline that Milo has "favorited" a few tweets (last "favorite" was on August 27th). So Milo is still somewhat active on Twitter but for whatever reason is keeping a low profile. ::::::::
I just created a twitter account so I could see what she's been favoriting. I couldn't use my Sue Buddy account because Milo has it blocked. Since she "left" on July 27, she's favorited about 25 platitudes including one that says "I am learning to walk away from people and situations that threaten my peace of mind, self respect or my self worth."
Those evil cows have done everything in their power to run Milo off Twitter. Why should it make any difference whatsoever to them if Kate has supporters... They need to get lives of their own.
I did not watch, those Duggers make me sick. Josh's FIL called Josh out, it's on Perez, but the scum Dad has left his daughter to live with the creepy family and stand behind this pedo. As far as I am concerned, they are all selling stories for $, they don't care about their daughter or grandkids. It's seems to be the norm in this religion for this to happen if you read around. Anna's parents have serious issues themselves to leave their daughter in this mess. What's more interesting is not one person from that community has spoken out against what has happened.
I will not watch TLC until all the Duggers are removed from their programming.
Jon must be jealous that Justin B's new haircut is putting Kate's name in the pop news. JB performed and sobbed at the VMAs sporting a hairstyle very much like Kate's old style when it was short.
Jon hardly tweets. Last reported, Jon and Kate don't talk, only text about visitation. It's obvious Jon's wanting attention. They've been split for over 6 years, but Jon still hangs on to Kate.
Farkle, I understand your point of view and I agree with you 100 percent.
The documentary lasted 1 hour without commercials and was very interesting. I did not know that the Duggars would appear at one point in the documentary.
They were taking a course on how to prevent sexual abuse and to know the signs. They only appeared a few minutes giving their opinion on the course they were taking.
I was shocked and angry to see them and I found what they were saying very phony. I think TLC obly showed them to sort of trying to make them look good which will not happen in my eyes. I thought TLC was done with them.
I stopped watching their show many years ago since I did not agree with their life style.
Is Josh hiding behind his Mommy's skirt and fake makeup?
said...
So is Josh missing from his so called rehab, or is this the only way that Jim Bob can make a living now selling stories about his creepy kids. It's time Jim Bob crawls away and hides along with his pedo religion.
TLC needs to announce they are finished with this family, and the stories would dry up.
Oh my, the BL is having a complete meltdown over some TLC interview with the Roloff clan. Of course, she can't take her eyes off the screen, all the while posting away about the horror of it all. Confidential to BL: Your remote gives you the ability to change the channel and even turn the TV OFF. It's magic. ********************* Ass-istant to Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said... 122 That person interviewing the Roloff's is extremely rude and nosy. I don't think she should ask the kids about their parents impending divorce.
&&&
Absolutely not. The kids seem uncomfortable. Nobody wants to talk about that even adult kids. Not with a bunch of strangers.
I also think she has no business asking two young recently married couples when they're going to have kids. When Zach said three years Tori said wait a second I thought we said 1-2 years. Jeremy managed to avoid the question in a much more round about way, we'll have kids when we have them you rude lady, he's better at handling things like that.
Their parents are sitting right there. Not every young couple wants grandparents to KNOW when they're trying. Next thing you know Mom is calling you every week urging you to take a pregnancy test and getting impatient when it's not happening. She put them on the spot in a completely rude and thoughtless manner, right in front of their parents. I would have told her to shove it. No wonder Jacob hates this crap.
She also asked if Tori and Zach wanted a little person baby. That is a question fraught with drama and extremely personal. It's none of her damn business. It's not like having a normal baby just shorter. Dwarfs are fraught with medical problems. Tori's tone was like, um I want a HEALTHY baby what do you THINK I want? Good grief.
This is one of the worst TLC sit-downs I've ever seen. I'm appalled.
Also she obviously hasn't done her homework about Jacob or she could have asked more specific questions about that. She acted as baffled as a casual viewer about where he went. Um, read his social media. He hates the show. Or is she being deliberately obtuse? What a dolt.
Good morning! I saw about 10 minutes of that interview and thought the interviewer was pushy. I saw a segment where Matt and Amy were talking about their divorce. The reporter would NOT let it go. "Do you think you'll get back together?" "There's still time!" "You have so much history together!" Amy was saying she had regrets and what they were and Matt was saying he had none, so I imagine he was probably feeling squirmy inside. Things that he said were obviously hurtful to Amy but the lady pressed on in the same vein of them getting back together. It was a little weird, but also a good lesson that you should communicate before it's too late, such a hard thing for most of us. To me, it seems like a conversation you might have with friends you know really well. But then again, they put themselves out there for the interview and everything else!
Hmm, according to Tucker's Mom, nobody with a life would want to be interviewed by Cosmo to discuss their old interview. Well, Tucker's Mom, let's look at this objectively. One person is interviewed by Cosmo. The other spends hours every day online talking about the person interviewed by Cosmo. Which of these two people needs to get a life?
Tucker's Mom said... 144
It was a little blurb on the Cosmo website. The topic trended for 5 minutes and a young intern monitoring social media probably threw out the idea to get some commentary on the meme. Kate was all too happy to oblige. Who the f*ck with a life wants to talk about their old hairdo? But there's Kate, just honored to do it.
Off topic, but they listed the new cast of DWTS...(Sorry, haterz, but Jon's not on it.) They have paired Tony with Kim Zolciak. That should be interesting!If he thought Kate was a diva, I don't think he knows what he's in store for this year!
Is anyone else enjoying the latest gate...apple gate? It seems Kate posted a pic of apples, said they were from her tree but someone swears there's a store sticker on one. The bigger issue is that Kate NEVER told them she has an apple tree, so it must not exist.
And of course the BL is an expert on apple growing. There is just no end to the many subjects about which she has extensive knowledge.
In case anyone was wondering, I have an orange tree, a peach tree and a grapefruit tree. Thought I should put that out there so I'm not called a liar should I ever feel compelled to post about cooking with my home-grown fruit.
Ass-istant to Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said... 10
Has she EVER mentioned before that she has an apple tree? Plus her recipe says she prefers Golden Delicious. She would be far more likely to print "I prefer organic (apple type) from the tree in my backyard." Organic apples are very hard to grow, and quite a lot is lost to bugs and disease. No pictures of her kids picking said apples? Curious and curiouser.
&&&&
What the heck? Years being at that house and she never mentions the apple tree.
Any apples are hard to grow, especially organic. Birds eat them alive if you don't net them, for one. It's hard working putting up and tearing down the netting year after year. If she has an apple tree, which I doubt she does, somebody else is paid to tend to it. Maybe the landscapers.
In case anyone was wondering, I have an orange tree, a peach tree and a grapefruit tree. Thought I should put that out there so I'm not called a liar should I ever feel compelled to post about cooking with my home-grown fruit.
We have a couple apple trees which are not great eating but are great for applesauce and apple butter and baking..,.and friends' horses and goats! We have two cherry trees and one produces great fruit but we really cannot reach much. The birds enjoy it all. The best thing is a plum tree. We really enjoy those plums! It was all here when we moved here 17 years ago. We don't do anything but have them pruned every couple of years. Fruit trees are very common here and so much goes to waste. You will see piles of fruit rotting in yards.
If I mention making applesauce or plum jam, I am telling scout's honest truth! Too bad for the deer that we have a tall fence! Maybe some of the raccoons toss a few over for them. Haha.
you forgot the post that corrected that not 10 minutes later..
Kate has an apple tree, maybe more than one. When Kate was BFFs with Gina Nield, pictures were published with Gina, Steve and Kate checking out the apples from her trees. That was shortly after the divorce and the Nields and their sons came for a weekend visit. ----------------------------
then admin admitted...OMG!!! she was wrong...no biggie, except apparently here.
I actually thought you appreciated the song I posted, but maybe that was just snark as well?
there are 2 kinds of snark, one real, the other just plain mean
All snark aside, I was wondering about your name..SAGE
Being half irish/native and French we burn sagegrass as a cleansing ritual, to rid all the bad, so called mojo, or spirits,
The other meaning of sage ( French) is sagesse, which means wisdom....which is not apparent here
so, what version of Sageway did you name your expressway after, because All I know of the sound of it is this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xf-Lesrkuc
I liked the song. No snark. (I only clicked on the first link. I will check out the second one.)
I am not going to apologize for snarking about the BL. It is well deserved. If it bothers you, then this may not be a good place for you to hang out as there's lots of snarking on her. And for the record, I don't see any post where she admitted she was wrong. Someone else mentioned that Kate has an apple tree...no "my bad" response from "Admin."
I'm all for a world full of Buddhist Rastafarians. (No snark there either.) Peace.
"The other meaning of sage ( French) is sagesse, which means wisdom....which is not apparent here." ********************* Wow, and you are complaining about others being "mean?" That is rather rude, especially coming a Buddhist Rastafarian!
What rude Nameless? Truth is often harsh, but not rude...it rings clear as a bell, just depends how you hear that bell. Listen to the words...he is asking is she is happy with where she got herself, that's all...a permanent star...was it worth it?
All legitimate questions for anyone, listen again and HEAR the words...
and this song was written before her so-called fame, it is a general what-do-you-call-it? not opinion um...observation of life OTHER than so-called reality characters
I went to other blog that hold KIG as a goddess and was impressed they are actually starting to think critically. I also noticed a couple of names from here who post there, but as I read the posts, I realised we ae ALL right in our thoughts, so I sent them this song ( yes under my real name, I do not hide, EVAH)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7yCLn-O-Y0
as a peace offering, since we are, thanks to our soldiers past and present, allowed to respectfully agree or not about anything
What rude Nameless? Truth is often harsh, but not rude... ************************** Your opinion is not "truth," Franky. It is your opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. A wise person knows that "her" truth and "the" truth are not synonymous.

I need not say anything more, you guys have proven my point, hook, line and sinker...lol
Hey, merryway, if you would like to contact me to ream me about Kate Gosslin ( aka Kreider) I can and will post my addy here, so all you lovers can flood my Quebec house with whaever....no problem. just let me know
in the 50Ès we had quints, the Dionnes, all girls, and their parents signed away their life and, as in the 50's, instead of being in our living room via tv...it was a sorta ZOOO, called Quintland.
The Quints actually wrote Jon and Kate and warned them about putting their lives out there, even more than they suffered.
to no avail.
Did I mention 1 committed sucide, the rest is even worse.
so, go ahead , blast me for objecting to families being exploited on tv, I am from Quebec, find ANY program that proves I am a hippocrite.
CHILDREN should not be on tv. I will give you my FB, you cN TRY TO FLOOD IT, BUT I HAVE BEEN STAUNCH ON THIS FOR YEARS,
OUR LISCENSE PLATE HERE SAYS.. JE ME SOUVIENS
I REMEMBER
SO, ( oops for caps lock, sorry) want to personally talk to me, my FB is
franky alain....shocker, hunh? I use my real name, so contact me via message,lol
Lol no one has blasted you franky. You seem to be going off all on your own.
You have several facts wrong about Dionne quintuplets. They were taken away from their family and secluded from the outside world by their government. It was the government that put them on display.
They did not write Jon and Kate. The surviving quints wrote a letter to the parents of the McCaughey septuplets.
You are also mistaken that a Dionne quint committed suicide.
You obviously think you are "educating" us. Sorry, but I already knew and loved the song. I don't need to listen again and HEAR the words. I understood the song before you felt the need to explain it to us. I happen to be a wee bit of a music freak so I've HEARD more than my share of lyrics in my time.
In the spirit of sharing, here's a link to one of the most beautiful songs ever written that also touches on the issue of fame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV5AQ72KZuo. ***********************

LOL, why would anyone here want your address? Why would anyone care about your real name on FB and want to message you? You seem quite desperate for attention. Just another 15 Minutes narcissist I guess. ************************ franky said... Hey, merryway, if you would like to contact me to ream me about Kate Gosslin ( aka Kreider) I can and will post my addy here, so all you lovers can flood my Quebec house with whaever....no problem. just let me know
Merryway, whether it was the Gov't or TLC their souls were sold to voyeurs...whether benign or not, sold, their freedom to just be another kid was not an option for them.
agreed? may have gone off on my own as you say, because I grew up with the Dionne story, No running free in the park like our kids do
I o take it personally enough that our children are taught not to pose for any camera that does not belong to family, and they know to put a hand to their face to shadow it and yell, and trust me, everyone yells outside.
The Dionnes taught us a real lesson...privacy, especially today is precious. we must guard it at all costs
thanks, Merryway. for your corrections
assuming what you say is true, have no red flags gone up?
I don't think your belief that children should not be on reality television is remotely unreasonable. I have real questions about whether fame is worth the loss of a "normal" childhood. I'm guessing others here do as well. Where we differ is that I think Kate Gosselin has the right to make the choice to put her children on television. I have zero desire to be famous and would not put my children on TV. But that's ME. Parents make choices every day that I wouldn't make for my own children. That doesn't make them bad parents.
My issue with the 15 Minutes blog is not that the folks there are against children on reality TV. It's that the level of abject hatred for Kate Gosselin is so over the top. I don't believe that 90% of the people there care one whit about the kids. It's about Kate hate and the need to feel superior, nothing more.
point taken. As with all things that make us us stand up, some MAY carry it too far, sometimes.
I do hear ya, I do. been brewin rumspringa, (blueberry because it is in season) gotta run, save the brew, but I do believe we may actually have more common ground than thought, take care,
For all that is holy (and all that is not) I beg you, STAHP the stupid 'veranda', passive-aggressive 'under the veranda', and RIDICULOUS rum(fuckit, I can't even say it one more time).
STOP acting like jr high girls with all the fake roleplaying BullShit. PLEASE?? Give it a rest. A. Rest.
"May" carry it too far? That's an understatement. Y'all are going on and on about some apples. What that has to do with exploiting kids on TV I'll never know.

just to note, my name is franky, do not know which frankie you are talking about. Was It Frankie Grande? brother to Ariana the singer? He was on big Brother last year.
you really think franky is my real name? lol....40-some years ago a woman called a girl franky...right
my brother always told me, never ever put your real name on the internet, and I have been franky since I was 15, since Mickey was oh so fine, lol, sounded good and I kept it. My family knows my real name, internet...hmmmm.not so much. You?
"Spew venom" at you, Franky? Have you read what you wrote about the posters of this blog? Come on. Now you're just making yourself look silly. Erm. . . SilliER.
I think we can all agree you were completely disrespectful to the posters here. I also think we can agree that no one is surprised. You are the company you keep.
Franky, I refuse to lowercase it, is a known fruitcake with diarrhea of the mouth. She is writing drunk most of the time. Her 'style' of writing makes NO sense. And though I am no fan of Kate, this is a blog for her fans and yet here Franky comes to school everyone here about how to think. Steer clear of this one!
Nameless, I think you got to the heart of the matter with this:
"I think Kate Gosselin has the right to make the choice to put her children on television."
This is your opinion, and also a fact. Kate did make the choice, it is her right to make that choice. Until there is a law that states that parents cannot put their kids on television, Kate's within her rights.
The people who think it's wrong don't have to watch. I'm sure there are plenty of well adjusted people who simply don't watch any reality TV for a variety of reasons. But there are clearly people who are far from "well adjusted" who have spent years complaining, critiquing and obsessing over these particular 8 kids and their mom - mostly their mom. They've changed nothing, but going crazy over all things Kate Gosselin gives them something to do. I don't think they'll ever stop, and in the grand scheme of things they don't matter one bit.
Kate keeps them occupied and frustrated and angry. Even just a simple tweet about apples gets them going! But it's all for the kids, don't ya know? :)
Franky is a crazy one, different kind of crazy then Redbird aka LukeBandit. She can't string a sentence together, her comments are difficult to read and make zero sense. All she adds to the blog is about her drinking. Woman is truly batshit. She says she is trying to promote peace between the 2 blogs. Ha. Those of us who have left the great ADMIN'S rule don't want that drunk over here.
Everyone...Franky is a nothing. Do not respond to her childish attempt for attention. Just remember she is a representative of Becks, her blog and the minions who post there.
You cannot control what people say or think...you only control how you respond to it.
Did someone lose control of a crazy from a blog? I tried to read her posts, after the 1st 3, it was a yawn fest. It shows the mentality and education of one's posters. Scroll through, ignore, she will find her sandbox toys again.
Crisp fall weather coming in the forecast, beautiful time of year! Hi to all the good peeps here. :) Have a great labor day weekend.
Farkle, I too am loving the signs of fall. We put an extra blanket on the bed last night! After a record-breaking summer, that was exciting to me.
I went out and gathered apples today and made an apple crisp. (The apples are pretty yucky otherwise.) There were tons of half-eaten apples everywhere. It was so cute. Whatever is eating them does not turn them over and eat both sides. They just get another one! You can see little teeth marks where they just scraped down to the core, over and over. I took a pic but can't post it here. All our dogs have picked apples. The big ones ate the whole thing, but the small dogs, one in particular, would eat a few bites and get another one. There were apples everywhere. Those things sounded like little bombs going through the mower. FOOM!
Seeing all those little teeth marks reminded me of this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGz8jcbJjRw
I live about 40 miles south of Chicago and it is really HOT! Unbearable humidity. Everyone, it seems is having really bad allergies due to all the rain we have had previously.
It was 4 weeks ago today (two days before my daughters wedding) that I came down with a cold and I still have it. I cannot get rid of this cough.
Tomorrow is our last day on Nantucket. We've been coming year yearly for almost 40 years. This was the hottest I ever remember. I always bring clothes for warm and cooler weather. I didn't touch one of the cooler weather items the entire two week. We've been to the beach every day. Only big rain happened overnight one night only! Tomorrow the weather is supposed to break. I've read a lot, knit a lot and gone to the movies more than we have in the past year at home. I've also gone to the gym every day because we've eaten s LOT! I hate to leave, but it's time to get into the fall swing of things at home. We'll visit DS and some dear cousins on the way back.
PJ's Mom, I can't imagine being so close to the fires. Stay safe.
We started coming to Nantucket when our son was an infant. We fell in love with it the first time we came. Just wished we loved closer. Hopefully when we retire in the next couple of years we will be able to spend more time here.
Allergies are always bad on the east coast this time of year... For DH and myself, the ragweed is awful!
Quiltart, we are not close, but that smoke really moves. The wind shifted and friends 1500 miles away had the haze from it. Crazy. I think the fires are mostly contained now, and not spreading as much. Firefighters have died, and many homes have been lost. That is horrible - but I think all the wildlife that died in terror is horrible too. For a while, there were brushfires everywhere here from people flicking out their butts. It would close down major freeways for a long time. URGH! There are lots of scorched shoulders and medians.
stxmom, we lived in San Antonio for a year, decades ago. Hottest year of our lives, and I grew up in the desert! Whew, that is some oppressive, humid heat. Didn't even cool down at night. How did pioneers do it before air conditioning - or electricity for even a fan!? People said we would get used to it but we were there from June through August the next year and never did. Ugh. That was back when it was expected that ladies wear pantyhose. Double ugh.
I have a four day weekend and am thinking of just doing the quiet thing and find a good book to read. I am wiped out and do not feel like going out and doing anything that requires effort.
I know a good book! It's called Room. But you might end up reading it in one night like everyone else I know who's read it. Then what would you do the other three days.
Let us know which one you choose, I would like to read them both but wondering if too much overlap between the two of them. Sounds like a very sad story for Rosemary.
We finally had a break in the heat, cool breezes and clear skies after days of smoke overcast. Next week looks like much cooler temps for us, time for leaves to start falling. Many yellow leaves have appeared here, some red showing, and the smell of cider and soup will be on many tables soon.
Love hearing of everyone's travels, thinking of stxmom, temps must be horrible for you. Have a safe weekend.
Sage, I read the sample of The Missing Kennedy: Rosemary Kennedy and the Secret Bonds on my Kindle last night and was not impressed with the writing. The author is a niece of Rosemary's caregiver. Haven't decided whether I'll spring for the whole book or wait until the other book comes out in October.
Quiltart, I may wait then also for the other one in October.
It is a fascinating story. I remember hearing about this in the early 70's. I grew up in Wisconsin and one of the people I was working with at that time was related to one of the nuns taking care of Rosemary in the nursing home.
Gee, Sage! It may be the same women who wrote this book. Her aunt was a nun who was the caretaker. .. of course she probably had a lot of nieces and nephews.
After these many years I cannot remember his name. I think he said the nun was his aunt.
I hit the library this morning and picked up some fiction books....I hardly ever read fiction. It is hot outside and I am hunkering down and reading and hoping I get over this cold. My only obligations are feeding my daughters cats while she is away. She told me to help myself to her movies and her refrigerator....I can do that! I love their home...very comfy. It is like the Leave it to Beaver house. lol
I wanted to share with you all the dress I wore to my daughters wedding. I put a very small picture on the sidebar. In our family we have a tradition of the red jacket (dancing jacket) and hat dance at weddings. Everyone at some point wears it. I was dancing with my nephew at the reception. I had already ditched the heels for sandals.
If the dancing jacket is magical enough to give someone rhythm, I might have to get one to use here. This dude looks like he's having a slow seizure standing up. You two seem to have the dancing thing DOWN! From what you've said, your daughter's day was perfect!
Looking good Sage, dancing is so much fun and old traditions that are cut in stone in families are precious memories for everyone. The red hat, how cute!
When you have no life, friends, family that cares, no flashy law cases, you also could spend 80 hours a week blogging about a family who is on TV. I am so glad I have many interests and a job that fulfills my life and a family who cares. In a few years the G kids will move on to college or what ever they want to do Kate will be fine and the BL will still be drooling over Kate in the old folks home.
She's killed her own blog with her constant I Am Right posts. You reap what you sow, you knowitall bitchy HYPOCRITE.
what are YOU, BL, doing WASTING multiple YEARS on this mess? Bwahahahaha!
And notice that because of you great posters here, after ripping Frankie the weirdo a new butthole, she's slunk away from posting on EITHER blog. Score 1 for Sageway Express!
You mean Frankie took down the BL, or were Sage posters too much for the drivel she spit?
BL is an overachiever in having Kate own her, it's too funny. That should read on her degree, that a little family of 8 took over her whole life. ROTF!
Well, if Kate was seriously dating, it wasn't very exciting for the public. There was only one date night caught by the paparazzi.
The excerpt below didn't make sense to me. Jeff Prescott's three children are all adults. The article makes it sound like he has little kids. His youngest daughter is 20, and his oldest daughter is 26 or 27. If the article is true, his new girlfriend is the same age as his kids.
Also, seems like there would be a contract involved if Jeff was to appear in an episode.
"The trouble started over Labor Day weekend, when the source says Prescott got cold feet about filming Gosselin's reality show, Kate Plus 8. He ended up canceling production plans just two days before the New York City shoot, after months of planning and preparation. The source adds that Prescott is protective of his three children from a previous marriage and didn't want the increased exposure, so his team advised him against filming with Gosselin."
I think it's a fake story. If they were dating, why would he be seen with his new girlfriend on two separate trips BEFORE Labor Day, when the trouble supposedly started? The facts don't line up. And how did they obtain the pics of him and the girl? It's not like photographers know who he is and are waiting for him. Those were obviously snapshots someone too with his or her camera.
Twitter fans should research before typing

Someone needed some fast money I think. Selling a far out story about Kate and her non boyfriend would sell in a hot minute. Wonder if the next story will be that Jon was dumped by his new love?
He does not have young children, but those twitter fans that love Kate jumped all over the story, and now look like fools. Gotta love it. Kate wins again. LOL.
Jon selling stories today to Daily Mail, hmmmm-----------. Didn't take him long although he denies bashing Kate. Now if he only stepped up and paid cs for his children.
Off topic, but I have a movie recommendation. We watched Love and Mercy last night, which is about Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. It is excellent, very touching (and infuriating for some reasons too). We got it at Redbox but it is probably available on streaming too. I was nearly sobbing, reading the end credits. Here's a short video where Brian discusses the movie: http://www.accesshollywood.com/brian-wilson-on-his-wife-and-love-and-mercy-i-wouldnt-be-here-if-not-for-melinda_video_2968337
I have been wanting to read The Girl on the Train! Thanks for the review! Have you read Room? Oh my gosh, that book freaked my freak out. There's a movie being made, but I don't know how they could do it justice.
I don't know how Love and Mercy didn't get more press, especially because John Cusack and Paul Dano are both in it. (It looks like Kate is also in it, LOL.) I guess because there are no explosions or graphic sex. We rent a lot of indie films, and the previews on the disks are also of indie films, which have led us to some really good films. Skeleton Twins is another good one.
Nope, nothing obsessive about the behavior of the BL's minions. Nothing at all.
What would compel someone to sit down and run the numbers on what Kate needs to maintain her home?
Over In TFW's County said... 150 I can't imagine what her bills are for that house and property. It has to be a burden, but as long as TLC is filming, she's going to keep the filming set. (Tuckers Mom, 146)...
++++++++++++++++
I can. I once sat down and figured out how much she needs a year to keep that place going, with mortgage, taxes, utilities, maintenance, etc., and it is staggering. When she bought that property, she had no idea in the world the cost involved in maintaining it. She never owned such a house and figured that the money would always keep rolling in, and she thought that Jon would be there to take care of everything. I think she's had her eyes opened.
Their obsession comes from the fact that she still has the house after the divorce and after the cancellation of their show. The bleeps had her homeless or living in a trailer down by the river by now.

They were filming over the summer...I think Kate even tweeted that the show was coming back - hopefully they'll announce when it will return soon. Until then, it's going to be quiet, except for the haters, who never stop going on and on about Kate, no matter what.
We had lovely weather to begin our Fall. It was a great Summer. But, it was over too soon. I didn't hear the tornado siren at all. That's always a happy surprise.
Jon has given another interview. Mostly fluff, but mentions the kids. I'm sure Bl will assure her posters that he's really not using them for publicity or invading their privacy.
Even though Jon refers to himself as public figure, Bl swears that he is not one. Back in July, she defended him as undeserving of the same rippings that they give to Kate.
Here's Jon's latest interview. This is the one, he's finally found the right girl (again).
Heres Bl's stance that Jon is not a public figure. It just cracks me up.

****************** You all do exactly the same...just substitute "Kate" for "Jon." How can you not recognize this?
&&&&
You're free to think it's the same but to me it's not at all because of two very important factors:
1. Jon is not exploiting his children to make a living and thus, subject to the same criticism of what he does as Kate is, who has structured her entire life around using the children and the fame they give her to make a buck. 2. Jon is not an active public figure and thus does not deserve hyper criticism of every move he makes like you would a public figure. Yes yes yes he says things once in awhile when asked, but it's just not enough to rise to that level of a public figure anymore in my opinion. He is doing a normal job anyone with a musical ear could try.
Remember the judge in the Cosby case ruling that the records COULD be released because he was such a high profile public figure the case was a matter of public concern. Had he not been so famous, such as just a Jon Gosselin, the records might have remained sealed. The distinction between public figures and private figures and the level of public scrutiny allowed toward them is a legal one and complex, and there is no way Jon and his new lifestyle where he has remained much more quiet rises to the level of Kate, Cosby, or many other famous people. July 14, 2015 at 7:05 PM
That is unbelievable. TLC is a pit. The Duggars are addicted to fame. What happened to being humble? Poof. Gone. What happened to getting a JOB? They could work in a church or local ministry and serve without cameras. They do not see their hypocrisy. Instead, they arrogantly think they are showing people a better way. Sad.
I just read about TLC bringing the Duggers back. Sorry, I will not watch TLC at all until they have been removed from making $ on their scammed life. The boycott for sponsors will be hit, just like what happened to the View. I can take divorce in a family, but I could never support a show or station that would give support to a family that hid a creepy pedo in their home, it's even sadder that the Dugger girls laughed it all off, posing pics in tight clothes, full makeup, all over the internet. It's not hard to figure this family out, it was only the money they needed to survive, they had computers, phones, etc, in their home but no TV. It's not even sad anymore, this family has condoned what Josh has done, is he still missing from the so called hard labor camp? (another scam) Just watch the whole family creep back into these specials, TLC is a nothing station anymore. Hopefully the other families will pull their families off this channel and go elsewhere. imo
Jon will always be the G's kids Father, even if the BL wants to make him something he is not. He doesn't care what she thinks, he will use his kids and a new fling for publicity. It's too bad, it seems his new women doesn't care enough about Jon's children to see that he would pay cs for them. I wouldn't call her a great catch! :)
BL's claim that Jon is a private citizen is laughable. What private citizen regularly gives interviews to tell the world what a great guy he is? Why would he even be interview material if he didn't have the eight kids? If he is so great, he'd be taking care of his kids financially and not continually bashing their mother, who IS taking care of them. (And for the haterz to claim that Kate is the one bashing him is even more laughable.)
Has he ever dated a woman who wasn't the love of his life? He must have moved in after two dates, since he didn't have a home of his own.
Sheepless In Seattle has left a new comment on the post "McCaughey septuplets begin senior year of high sch...":
Jon could have stayed in that marriage if he had agreed to her terms. He could have continued with that lifestyle, the perks, the trips, the fame, the money. He opted out, and he had to know that things would be financially difficult for him, as well as being bashed about in the media. He knew Kate. He was married to her and he certainly was aware that this would not be an amicable parting, given her nastiness and controlling ways. Nevertheless, he was not happy and chose not to continue on that path.
What is it that the sheeple do not understand about that?
It's a re-write of Jon's history. Jon left Kate to party with 22 year olds, he moved to NY with one of them, he hung out with Michael Lohan, he thought that he could do no wrong even though every move he made only made him look worse and worse and gave people an insight on exactly why Kate had to tell him what to do all the time. The reason are "financially difficult" for Jon now is because he spent all his divorce money on trips and women. All he's managed to do is show the world (minus the bleeps - who think Jon is dreamy) just why Kate had the attitude she had when it came to dealing with Jon.
He knew what it would be for him if he left? Well. They were BOTH photographed in snazzy new sports cars after the split, they were BOTH photographed back in the day in shoes or sunglasses that cost hundreds of dollars, HE moved to Manhattan, the most expensive real estate in the country, where among other things listed as damaged in the 'break in' were his Louis Vuitton shoes. He had no idea what would happen and his recklessness during those first few months showed it. He was probably shocked when Christian Audigier cut him loose - no more yacht trips in the French Riviera and he couldn't use his kids to market a kids' line of Hardy clothing. And he DID say that was on the table. I really think he thought the gravy train would keep rolling based on their name alone.
I'm glad he's dealing with reality now and working, but wow, way to rewrite history, as Micha points out!
Jon has another interview in US. Sounds like he occasionally sees the twins for dinner. It's good that they are seeing him a little rather than completely cutting him out of their lives.
Bl's is caught in time-warp. They keep using "piecing and patching" and "one week with my family and one week away" in regards to Kate. The "piecing and patching" was from when TLC cancelled K+8. And, the "one week with and one week away" is from eons ago when Kate and Jon were still married. That was when Kate was doing the book tour and speaking engagements.
So, the Duggar girls are getting a show. It doesn't phase me, and I wish them well. They are young and shouldn't be punished for the sins of their brother. I had mixed feelings about Josh's juvenile crimes. I wasn't comfortable with the demonization as if there was no redemption to be had. His actions as an adult are deplorable. He makes me gag. Ugh. What a pig and a hypocrite. The guy has big problems and has made others suffer because of it.
Ruh roh, someone dared criticize Jon. PA Dutch Mom can't have that. She's right there, full of dogmatic devotion to defend her dear childhood friend, Jon.
I just wanted to point out how they try to white-wash Jon. Dutch Mom says Jon lived with Haily and Liz. But, Jon lived with Hailey, Morgan, Liz and now Colleen. On Couple's Therapy, Liz complained that when they were broken up for two weeks, Jon had been with four people and moved someone in. (I think I got that number right).
xxxxx
PA Dutch Mom said... 101
So Jon's living with yet another woman?? how many does that make? I remember him saying Haley was the love of his life..then when in line did he profess the same for Liz? Now it's another?
&&&&&&&&&&&
I think this has been discussed before. He lived with Hailey, Liz and now this one. That makes three over a period of six years. He does not have a revolving door of women. There is no flavor of the month.
¨If I was in Kate's shoes I certainly wouldn't want my young kids around the revolving door of girlfriends.¨
&&&&&&&&&
Would you want them around their mother and her married bodyguard who travels everywhere with them and sleeping who-knows-where in the hotel and rented houses?
¨Let's face it, both of these parents are losers. I hope the kids have great teachers so guide them toward some degree of normalcy.¨
&&&&&&&&&&&&
If you knew Jon, I really don't think you would be calling him a loser because he isn't. You do not know how much he is contributing to their support, nor that he isn't putting anything away for them. There are some things that Jon has done that I disagreed with (such as Celebrity Rehab), but as far as being a parent, he is anything but a loser. I have seen him as a parent, his love for his children, and the way he has supported them in their activities and just trying to bring normalcy into their lives WITHOUT having them pay to take care of his lifestyle.
I do not think that Jon is asking, nor expects a free pass from anyone. He has owned up to his mistakes, saw what that celebrity lifestyle was doing to his kids and is trying his best to work and find happiness in his new life. I have known Jon since the twins were in first grade, and after 10 years of living with Kate, I would think that he deserves finally being at peace without being called a loser.

I doubt they knew - it was revealed in a hack. Which gives it more credibility, because if it was just exposed somehow (by a former employee or another client who ran to a tabloid), they could claim that someone set it up to make him look even worse. But it went on for years, while his wife was pregnant several times, and the addresses line up too, which they tend to do when using credit cards.
Wait for the press conference - by the parents - while he says nothing. And by all means, girls, keep on posting to your instagram and twitter accounts, because one can never have too much attention! Nothing to see or be concerned about here, nosiree!
Despite this, you can pretty much predict they will continue to seek the limelight and are apparently trying to stay on TV in any way possible. (When they claim to not even watch TV - but expect others to watch them.) They are such hypocrites. The majority has spoken but they appear to be deaf. They are yucky.
I wonder if this could all get back to not being able to have healthy dating and those weird side hugs.
http://gawker.com/is-this-josh-duggars-okcupid-profile-1725202825
I wondered the same thing - they are all SO sheltered from the outside/real world (the one they want to watch them) and have had no normal teenage or dating experiences. Everything is forbidden - except that everything they are denying these kids is human nature. We have hormones for a reason. We volunteered for Special Olympics and had a few 'oh dear!' moments with some of the boys when all the girls were in bathing suits. But what they were experiencing is natural. Attraction, physical touch, happy excitement, wanting to hug or kiss someone......we are MADE to want those things!!
What I always found creepy was the way Jim Bob was always talking about sex with Michele...he always made it sound dirty.
I couldn't watch them (except for one episode and clips here and there) so I didn't know that. Eww, why talk it about it at all. But they DO make it seem dirty by forbidding the most basic and benign things, like a kiss or hug, or a date without chaperones. We need to make mistakes as we go along - that's how we learn some very valuable lessons.
This dang robot thing is giving me pies. I don't even like pie that much but a slice of warm pecan pie sounds so good now.
Legos
I wonder if divorce is allowed in their private tax free church? While I feel for Anna, she had to know something was off about his past and the family cover up. This seemed to be a arranged marriage all done by Jim Bob. I think there is more to come, makes me wonder what Jim Bob hides behind his creepy smile? Only dating within your religion?/scary, no regular dating or just hanging with friends from school (home schooled), no interaction in their community, Jim Bob always talking about sex, but yet he gives them a book about sex right before they are married. Eww, what Dad does that?
It's time TLC pulls anything to do with this family. They must live in a small community and their church family should ban them unless others are doing the same thing? Jim Bob spoke of things that his church family had gone through with some of their children, but it starts at home, so I hope he doesn't stand behind his preaching and Bible to cover this up. There is no spin to this, Josh has had problems all along, but something hidden in him makes me wonder what is going to come out?
I can't believe he would be so stupid. If it's true, I hope Anna leaves ASAP.
The creep admitted it. https://www.duggarfamily.com/michelles-blog?ID=651536de-8b7d-4525-afb0-3f525bc390e1
God only knows what else he has done!

That link now goes to a "The page you have requested does not exist or is undergoing routine maintenance." message.
What did it say?
Betty, the link still worked for me. Here's what the statement says:
Statement from Josh Duggar:
I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife.
I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him.
I brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends and the fans of our show with my actions that happened when I was 14-15 years old, and now I have re-broken their trust.
The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country, in my heart I had allowed Satan to build a fortress that no one knew about.
As I am learning the hard way, we have the freedom to choose to our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. I deeply regret all hurt I have caused so many by being such a bad example.
I humbly ask for your forgiveness. Please pray for my precious wife Anna and our family during this time.
Josh Duggar
is
:)
Thanks PJ!
I still can't see it and read elsewhere where they have taken it down several times. I don't know what is up with that.
FYI, the link's not working for me either. Maybe he's tweeking his statement.
It seems a strange thing to put on the family website. What a conversation that must have been..... "Mom, dad, I need the password so I can publicly apologize for cheating on my wife."
Betty, it's also at radaronline. That's where I first saw it. Along with MANY scathing comments!!!
I saw it on US earlier today.
I can see it on ROL and People and all over the place, thanks PJ. I just could not see it on their own website. But I am pretty sure they took it down. I think you were seeing it because you still had it in your cache.
This turd has changed his statement several times. You know, if he was REALLY seeking God, he would just leave the original statement alone, take responsibility for all of it, and keep taking steps to move forward. But no, they hire a firm to guide them through this. And THAT makes them all look shady as hell. Hypocrites.

PJ,
Yes he changed his statement, wanting everyone to pray for him and his family, what a loser he is. Jim Bob said that he never used credit cards, but yet Josh had credit cards to do this. The spin will never work for this family, although I do feel sorry for Anna and her family and the kids, but if she stays with him, this tells me way more about the behind doors of this so called religion that they preach from. Maybe an investigation of Jim Bobs computer should be looked at? Not saying anything is there, but the family had computers, phones, while TV was not allowed. That is very strange to me.
When the first story broke, his brother's relationship was over. Who would want your daughter or son to be involved in all of this?
I'm sitting here, waiting for banana bread to bake. I was cruising the magazine websites and one story recommended this. Interesting that Anna is part of the wedding party and not Josh, eh? Did Josh's victim refuse to have him be part of her wedding party? We'll never know.
http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/jill-duggar-and-derick-dillard-wedding-album-20142410/41677
My husband and I were going back and forth on email today because he had one concall after another. I sent him the confession and this is what he said. Sadly, I think he may be on to something - just like Farkle's wondering about the family, including Jim Bob's computer, just above. The whole thing is just sordid and ugly, and yes, very calculated - and controlled.
"But the sick part about our world these days is that I am a cynic now and I think this is actually calculated. Gets his name in the papers
again, gets the press on him. He will next announce he is going in for therapy. Then he will write a book, go on the speaking circuit and
day time TV and the money will come flowing in. He and his wife will reunite and spin a happy clappy story of redemption and they
will make bank….ie. Gone Girl"
PJ,
Seems he had a fake Facebook account to, he talked to strippers and lingerie models. WTH is this family been doing? Something here is way off about all of this. There is no way Anna didn't suspect something? Who has that kind of time with a job, and family to do this, being a young Father involved on a TV program.
I doubt there will be a book, money tour, etc. Josh has exposed the Quiverfall (sp) fake religion, makes you wonder about what they have been teaching their young men in Sunday School classes.
I saw that, Farkle. Anna is probably so busy with three and now four very small kids, when would she have time to suspect anything? As I said, I never watched, but assume the men let the women do all the 'lady' things, which is pretty much everything around the house and with the kids, and if true, Josh would have plenty of time on his hands. Especially late at night when everyone was asleep (or whatever).
I doubt there will be a tour either, but I bet they try!
Wow, this 'prove you're not a robot' is stuck on pancakes today. It would be funny if they were stuck on Band-Aid.
My father always said you could never trust the man who prays the loudest. This is a perfect example. I'll bet that some of Josh's sibs are gonna resent him and what his actions have done to their family for the rest of their lives.
"My father always said you could never trust the man who prays the loudest" Wow! so true Quiltart.
I really don't believe Anna knew or suspected. In their faith women are taught to not question and to obey. Anna was young and sheltered when she married. I just don't think Anna or any of them saw this coming.
Quiltart, the Bible even says not to be like that guy who prays the loudest. You're right. This is a perfect example. And if they're praying, why do they need a PR firm to navigate them out of this? The Bible says nothing about damage control or PR firms. So funny that the people who claim not to watch TV are addicted to the attention that TV has brought them and have every other type of social media. Ugh. Suppertime. And not pancakes either. Have a good night, all.
I don't think Anna knew either. I think she was very naive. With four babies, I can't imagine the nightmare she is going through.
I would be willing to bet there is a lot more about the Duggars that we don't know. Jim Bob looks like a creepy little perv to me,his constant obsession with sex has screwed up his children's lives.If you really think about it all these cult like religions focus entirely too much about sex in a completely unhealthy and unnatural way and in a lot of cases the leaders turn out to be abusers themselves.I could not stand the Duggars from day one,especially the way they treated the girls like slaves and Jim Bob's slick backed hair and the sick little lear on his face.The only good that could come of this is the possibility this will give some of the children the courage to realize that the life that they have been forced to live is one giant lie and they will get out.
I also don't think Anna knew anything about what Josh was doing. Cheaters can be awful sneaky.
I hope Anna has the strength to leave him. Other than holding marriage sacred, I'm not familiar with how their religion views divorced women, I hope they don't think they are "ruined" for life and used goods for another man.
So is TLC still going to put this family on TV? The Duggers need to be removed from the special.
Reading around, twitter is on fire about this, asking for prayers for their family is not going to help Josh, he needs to go to sex rehab and pay for his molestation crimes. I think divorce is not an option in the fake religion for Anna, but it's time someone investigates Josh's home and remove the children from seeing him. CPS should be all over this. I would rather see Anna and her children on welfare than to have to live with this perv. If her parents allow her to stay married to him because of their religion, something is way off here.
Josh is total scum.
I do feel awful for Anna and the kids. With everything she has on her plate (and the unquestioningly obey your husband BS) I truly don't think she had a clue. Poor thing.
Looks like Josh used someone's profile pic for his dating service also. This is a real person and I see a huge lawsuit coming against him. He had a fake Facebook account when he lived with his parents, did I read that right? If so, their computers in their home has lots on it.
This is a pretty good article and makes total sense.
http://www.yourtango.com/2015280051/josh-duggar-a-product-of-a-sexually-repressive-childhood
Very interesting article. Pretty much what we were saying here earlier.
Sage,
Check out Daily Mail, seems Jessa is defending her brother after the latest news on him. The sermon in church this am she said was about sex. I used to feel sorry for the girls, they are adults and should know right from wrong by now, maybe they love the lifestyle they live in. If they are teaching their children this, another generation of abuse is coming from this family. It's really time for TLC to cut all ties with this whole family. imo
Farkle, do you have a link?
Anna Duggar's brother went on Jessa Duggars facebook....with a lot of anger and who can blame him?
https://www.facebook.com/JessaSeewald/photos/a.553510498109477.1073741827.553497828110744/732774200183105/?type=1&theater
sorry try this....https://www.facebook.com/JessaSeewald?fref=photo
The haters ran a long conversation with themselves yesterday, accusing Kate of abusing Collin. It's amazing how they think they know everything that goes on in Kate's house without ever having been there or meeting her. What evil creatures they are!
We're enjoying the first days of our annual two week vacation on Nantucket. It's really hot here, but wonderful nonetheless!
Sorry Sage,
I just logged back in, didn't see your message. I doubt Anna will leave him, no education, no $ and she has to please Josh and Jim Bob. How dreadful for her, but her parents must not care that their daughter has to live this way. :( This so called religious crap that they stand behind is creepy.
Ouiltart,
Enjoy your vacation. School has started here, schedules being met again has been a real drag. :) Football is in the air!
Check out ' In Touch" today, Josh Dugger has been outed again. This train wreck for Anna has to be horrible. If CPS doesn't get involved, there is something wrong in Ark.
Something tells me something is very hidden in the Duggar home, rough sex has to be taught, the women of this family are living a nightmare. My opinion.
Lets hope it is a real treatment center and not building a house.
Duggar Family Statement
August 26, 2015
We are so thankful for the outpouring of love, care and prayers for our family during this most difficult situation with Josh. As parents we are so deeply grieved by our son’s decisions and actions. His wrong choices have deeply hurt his precious wife and children and have negatively affected so many others. He has also brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear. Yesterday Josh checked himself into a long-term treatment center. For him it will be a long journey toward wholeness and recovery. We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change. In the meantime, we will be offering our love, care and devoted support to Anna and our grandchildren as she also receives counsel and help for her own heart and future. During this time we continue to look to God—He is our rock and comfort. We ask for your continued prayers for our entire family.
Here is the In Touch link.
http://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/josh-duggar-cheating-affair-mistress-ashley-madison-danica-dillon-68130
Surprising he is getting any help at all, who is paying for this? The so called fake church so they can write off the expenses? Where is this long term place that Josh checked into? Is it hiding with a church leader under the radar, out of sight? Once again, they cover for the loser son, hopefully we never see this family on TV anywhere again.
My hope was for the Duggers was to come out and say it would be ok for Anna to divorce Josh and encourage her to do it, instead they hide behind the God act once again. The Duggers only think of themselves, Anna does not need help with Josh's problems, she needs a good lawyer. Hopefully her brother and sister will get people in the know involved and get her away from this family.
Why does it take being busted to seek rehab? He could have gone anytime in the past several years and nobody would have known. He is a sexual predator. He belongs on the registered sex offender list. They make me sick. I feel sorry for all his victims and that includes his wife and kids. They do not deserve any of this.
How in the world did the BL pass the CA bar when she thinks that speaking to a tabloid is equal to "reporting a crime?" She is truly an idiot.

Josh is displaying some of the classic signs of a sociopath.
I tend to believe the prostitute and her story. That's a pretty huge claim to make, criminal even. She's basically accusing him of domestic violence. If it weren't true, she could go to jail for falsely reporting a crime.
The call girl didn't report anything, she just told her story. The BL calls out false reporting, omg, that is priceless coming from her. So does that mean just because 8 minor kids haven't reported her hate blog and fetish site to the cops, it's not there everyday for the world to see?? Wonder if someone is worried about what is yet to come out? Her creepy site could maybe be exposed???
Josh Dugger had a OK Cupid hookup account also. (This was reported on twitter). I wonder if he looked at these accounts when he visited his parents home after he moved to DC? Me thinks he has many accounts on different sites that has not come out yet.
Gawker reporting:
John Dugger flew his plane the night of Aug 24th from Springfield Ark. to Rockford, Illinois at 10:45 pm, landing for about 10 minutes before returning to Ark. The Duggers have a religious connection there: Reformers Unanimous Facility. This is a rehab for drugs and booze, not sex addiction.
this shows you how out of touch these people are with the real problem.
http://gawker.com/josh-duggar-s-sex-rehab-is-probably-just-another-chri-1726747380
LOL, the BL never disappoints. She just admitted that she and her minions are the bitter, nasty people they've consistently show themselves to be. They're "realists," ya'll.
Ass-istant to Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said... 8
I wonder if it's an evolutionary thing. People who are good at ignoring the truth, and looking at the world through rose colored glasses and refusing to see very bad things happening to them, don't get sad or depressed. The happier and more content and oblivious you are, the better your chance is at survival.
The realists like us actually wouldn't last a day in cavemen times. We'd be like, people, we are screwed. That woolly mammoth is three times our size. We don't have a chance against it. And then we'd go off ourselves in despair.
So Josh Dugger will be spending 6 months of hard labor and church, costing $7500.00 dollars in Ill. ( Daily Mail reporting) What a scam once again by Jim Bob and Michelle. This family is evil, and Anna's family is worse, leaving her there with them.
Anyone know what they are building in that town that would require hard labor? We now know what hard labor did for him last time. TLC is still going to air this sick family this weekend, boycott! The icky feeling from all this maybe it's been the norm for all of them. It's amazing no one from Jim Bob's town is speaking out against them, something is way off with all of this.
Farkle,
I seem to always agree with everything you post. TLC is in this for the ratings and my guess is there will lot's of curious viewers but I will not be one of them.
Sue_Buddy has left a new comment on the post "Josh Duggar enters rehab after admitting to an Ash...":
Good grief! Does someone really have this much time on their hands? WHO CARES!

I am not sure if this has been posted but I read on someone's Twitter timeline that Milo has "favorited" a few tweets (last "favorite" was on August 27th). So Milo is still somewhat active on Twitter but for whatever reason is keeping a low profile.
::::::::
I just created a twitter account so I could see what she's been favoriting. I couldn't use my Sue Buddy account because Milo has it blocked. Since she "left" on July 27, she's favorited about 25 platitudes including one that says "I am learning to walk away from people and situations that threaten my peace of mind, self respect or my self worth."
Those evil cows have done everything in their power to run Milo off Twitter. Why should it make any difference whatsoever to them if Kate has supporters... They need to get lives of their own.
Quiltart,
I just cannot imagine getting that invested in someone that I would go to the time and trouble to create a new twitter account! Hello!
Yes, it never enters their mind that it's none of their business. They think it's fine and dandy to shove their noses everywhere.
Any one see the TLC special on sexual abuse of children tonight. Michelle Duggar was there with her two married girls.
bella,
I did not watch, those Duggers make me sick. Josh's FIL called Josh out, it's on Perez, but the scum Dad has left his daughter to live with the creepy family and stand behind this pedo. As far as I am concerned, they are all selling stories for $, they don't care about their daughter or grandkids. It's seems to be the norm in this religion for this to happen if you read around. Anna's parents have serious issues themselves to leave their daughter in this mess. What's more interesting is not one person from that community has spoken out against what has happened.
I will not watch TLC until all the Duggers are removed from their programming.
Reposting because I put in the wrong link.
Jon must be jealous that Justin B's new haircut is putting Kate's name in the pop news. JB performed and sobbed at the VMAs sporting a hairstyle very much like Kate's old style when it was short.
Jon hardly tweets. Last reported, Jon and Kate don't talk, only text about visitation.
It's obvious Jon's wanting attention.
They've been split for over 6 years, but Jon still hangs on to Kate.
http//twitter.com/jgosselin10/status/638508338851004420
Farkle, I understand your point of view and I agree with you 100 percent.
The documentary lasted 1 hour without commercials and was very interesting. I did not know that the Duggars would appear at one point in the documentary.
They were taking a course on how to prevent sexual abuse and to know the signs. They only appeared a few minutes giving their opinion on the course they were taking.
I was shocked and angry to see them and I found what they were saying very phony. I think TLC obly showed them to sort of trying to make them look good which will not happen in my eyes. I thought TLC was done with them.
I stopped watching their show many years ago since I did not agree with their life style.
So is Josh missing from his so called rehab, or is this the only way that Jim Bob can make a living now selling stories about his creepy kids. It's time Jim Bob crawls away and hides along with his pedo religion.
TLC needs to announce they are finished with this family, and the stories would dry up.
Oh my, the BL is having a complete meltdown over some TLC interview with the Roloff clan. Of course, she can't take her eyes off the screen, all the while posting away about the horror of it all. Confidential to BL: Your remote gives you the ability to change the channel and even turn the TV OFF. It's magic.
*********************
Ass-istant to Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said... 122
That person interviewing the Roloff's is extremely rude and nosy. I don't think she should ask the kids about their parents impending divorce.
&&&
Absolutely not. The kids seem uncomfortable. Nobody wants to talk about that even adult kids. Not with a bunch of strangers.
I also think she has no business asking two young recently married couples when they're going to have kids. When Zach said three years Tori said wait a second I thought we said 1-2 years. Jeremy managed to avoid the question in a much more round about way, we'll have kids when we have them you rude lady, he's better at handling things like that.
Their parents are sitting right there. Not every young couple wants grandparents to KNOW when they're trying. Next thing you know Mom is calling you every week urging you to take a pregnancy test and getting impatient when it's not happening. She put them on the spot in a completely rude and thoughtless manner, right in front of their parents. I would have told her to shove it. No wonder Jacob hates this crap.
She also asked if Tori and Zach wanted a little person baby. That is a question fraught with drama and extremely personal. It's none of her damn business. It's not like having a normal baby just shorter. Dwarfs are fraught with medical problems. Tori's tone was like, um I want a HEALTHY baby what do you THINK I want? Good grief.
This is one of the worst TLC sit-downs I've ever seen. I'm appalled.
Also she obviously hasn't done her homework about Jacob or she could have asked more specific questions about that. She acted as baffled as a casual viewer about where he went. Um, read his social media. He hates the show. Or is she being deliberately obtuse? What a dolt.

Nameless,
Wonder if the BL's parents call her and ask when she is going to have a child. ROTF.
That POS has no idea what it's like to raise a family, maybe a dog, maybe. :)
Good morning! I saw about 10 minutes of that interview and thought the interviewer was pushy. I saw a segment where Matt and Amy were talking about their divorce. The reporter would NOT let it go. "Do you think you'll get back together?" "There's still time!" "You have so much history together!" Amy was saying she had regrets and what they were and Matt was saying he had none, so I imagine he was probably feeling squirmy inside. Things that he said were obviously hurtful to Amy but the lady pressed on in the same vein of them getting back together. It was a little weird, but also a good lesson that you should communicate before it's too late, such a hard thing for most of us. To me, it seems like a conversation you might have with friends you know really well. But then again, they put themselves out there for the interview and everything else!
Hmm, according to Tucker's Mom, nobody with a life would want to be interviewed by Cosmo to discuss their old interview. Well, Tucker's Mom, let's look at this objectively. One person is interviewed by Cosmo. The other spends hours every day online talking about the person interviewed by Cosmo. Which of these two people needs to get a life?
Tucker's Mom said... 144
It was a little blurb on the Cosmo website.
The topic trended for 5 minutes and a young intern monitoring social media probably threw out the idea to get some commentary on the meme.
Kate was all too happy to oblige.
Who the f*ck with a life wants to talk about their old hairdo?
But there's Kate, just honored to do it.
Off topic, but they listed the new cast of DWTS...(Sorry, haterz, but Jon's not on it.) They have paired Tony with Kim Zolciak. That should be interesting!If he thought Kate was a diva, I don't think he knows what he's in store for this year!

Hey guys, franky here, just thought I would mosey on over.
So glad PJ's Momma is posting here, was wondering where she went.
Glad to see you all talk about other things, as we do.
See?
we are the same, different perspective, but basically the same.
I like that.

Is anyone else enjoying the latest gate...apple gate? It seems Kate posted a pic of apples, said they were from her tree but someone swears there's a store sticker on one. The bigger issue is that Kate NEVER told them she has an apple tree, so it must not exist.
And of course the BL is an expert on apple growing. There is just no end to the many subjects about which she has extensive knowledge.
In case anyone was wondering, I have an orange tree, a peach tree and a grapefruit tree. Thought I should put that out there so I'm not called a liar should I ever feel compelled to post about cooking with my home-grown fruit.
Ass-istant to Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said... 10
Has she EVER mentioned before that she has an apple tree? Plus her recipe says she prefers Golden Delicious. She would be far more likely to print "I prefer organic (apple type) from the tree in my backyard." Organic apples are very hard to grow, and quite a lot is lost to bugs and disease. No pictures of her kids picking said apples? Curious and curiouser.
&&&&
What the heck? Years being at that house and she never mentions the apple tree.
Any apples are hard to grow, especially organic. Birds eat them alive if you don't net them, for one. It's hard working putting up and tearing down the netting year after year. If she has an apple tree, which I doubt she does, somebody else is paid to tend to it. Maybe the landscapers.
and this is where you heard Nate Russ before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLlcKdx_v1c
Hi Franky, Great song!
Nameless,...thanks for making me really laugh! :)
In case anyone was wondering, I have an orange tree, a peach tree and a grapefruit tree. Thought I should put that out there so I'm not called a liar should I ever feel compelled to post about cooking with my home-grown fruit.
Nameless, which one? both are great!
I do not play sides, I am bhuddist/Rastafari who loves peace...dat's it
and Sage...(this is a joke) I have all those and mango too...in Farmville, lol
But , (yes, I know) how about we just play in our own yards without looking over the fence?
Can we all agree to disagree without hatred? Like Marley ( of course) , Lennon, King, Diana,Ellen...well, youse gets it
We have a couple apple trees which are not great eating but are great for applesauce and apple butter and baking..,.and friends' horses and goats! We have two cherry trees and one produces great fruit but we really cannot reach much. The birds enjoy it all. The best thing is a plum tree. We really enjoy those plums! It was all here when we moved here 17 years ago. We don't do anything but have them pruned every couple of years. Fruit trees are very common here and so much goes to waste. You will see piles of fruit rotting in yards.
If I mention making applesauce or plum jam, I am telling scout's honest truth! Too bad for the deer that we have a tall fence! Maybe some of the raccoons toss a few over for them. Haha.
ameless...
you forgot the post that corrected that not 10 minutes later..
Kate has an apple tree, maybe more than one. When Kate was BFFs with Gina Nield, pictures were published with Gina, Steve and Kate checking out the apples from her trees. That was shortly after the divorce and the Nields and their sons came for a weekend visit.
----------------------------
then admin admitted...OMG!!! she was wrong...no biggie, except apparently here.
I actually thought you appreciated the song I posted, but maybe that was just snark as well?
there are 2 kinds of snark, one real, the other just plain mean
All snark aside, I was wondering about your name..SAGE
Being half irish/native and French we burn sagegrass as a cleansing ritual, to rid all the bad, so called mojo, or spirits,
The other meaning of sage ( French) is sagesse, which means wisdom....which is not apparent here
so, what version of Sageway did you name your expressway after, because All I know of the sound of it is this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xf-Lesrkuc
I liked the song. No snark. (I only clicked on the first link. I will check out the second one.)
I am not going to apologize for snarking about the BL. It is well deserved. If it bothers you, then this may not be a good place for you to hang out as there's lots of snarking on her. And for the record, I don't see any post where she admitted she was wrong. Someone else mentioned that Kate has an apple tree...no "my bad" response from "Admin."
I'm all for a world full of Buddhist Rastafarians. (No snark there either.) Peace.
"The other meaning of sage ( French) is sagesse, which means wisdom....which is not apparent here."
*********************
Wow, and you are complaining about others being "mean?" That is rather rude, especially coming a Buddhist Rastafarian!
What rude Nameless? Truth is often harsh, but not rude...it rings clear as a bell, just depends how you hear that bell. Listen to the words...he is asking is she is happy with where she got herself, that's all...a permanent star...was it worth it?
All legitimate questions for anyone, listen again and HEAR the words...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xf-Lesrkuc
and this song was written before her so-called fame, it is a general what-do-you-call-it? not opinion um...observation of life OTHER than so-called reality characters
Insulting much?

Merryway...see..
in the 50Ès we had quints, the Dionnes, all girls, and their parents signed away their life and, as in the 50's, instead of being in our living room via tv...it was a sorta ZOOO, called Quintland.
The Quints actually wrote Jon and Kate and warned them about putting their lives out there, even more than they suffered.
to no avail.
Did I mention 1 committed sucide, the rest is even worse.
so, go ahead , blast me for objecting to families being exploited on tv, I am from Quebec, find ANY program that proves I am a hippocrite.
CHILDREN should not be on tv.
I will give you my FB, you cN TRY TO FLOOD IT, BUT I HAVE BEEN STAUNCH ON THIS FOR YEARS,
OUR LISCENSE PLATE HERE SAYS.. JE ME SOUVIENS
I REMEMBER
SO, ( oops for caps lock, sorry) want to personally talk to me, my FB is
franky alain....shocker, hunh? I use my real name, so contact me via message,lol
franky
Lol no one has blasted you franky. You seem to be going off all on your own.
You have several facts wrong about Dionne quintuplets. They were taken away from their family and secluded from the outside world by their government. It was the government that put them on display.
They did not write Jon and Kate. The surviving quints wrote a letter to the parents of the McCaughey septuplets.
You are also mistaken that a Dionne quint committed suicide.
You obviously think you are "educating" us. Sorry, but I already knew and loved the song. I don't need to listen again and HEAR the words. I understood the song before you felt the need to explain it to us. I happen to be a wee bit of a music freak so I've HEARD more than my share of lyrics in my time.
In the spirit of sharing, here's a link to one of the most beautiful songs ever written that also touches on the issue of fame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV5AQ72KZuo.

Nameless...so agree with you.
Franky...no one cares who you are or where you live. LOL It's not like you are Milo. ;)
Merryway, whether it was the Gov't or TLC their souls were sold to voyeurs...whether benign or not, sold, their freedom to just be another kid was not an option for them.
agreed?
may have gone off on my own as you say, because I grew up with the Dionne story,
No running free in the park like our kids do
I o take it personally enough that our children are taught not to pose for any camera that does not belong to family, and they know to put a hand to their face to shadow it and yell, and trust me, everyone yells outside.
The Dionnes taught us a real lesson...privacy, especially today is precious.
we must guard it at all costs
thanks, Merryway. for your corrections
assuming what you say is true, have no red flags gone up?
thanks Sage...OMG, I do not EVER wannabee MILO
just sayin'...no offense to her
Thanks for your corrections Merryway, 2 were right, one was not, but...water under the bridge as we say

Some common ground!
I don't think your belief that children should not be on reality television is remotely unreasonable. I have real questions about whether fame is worth the loss of a "normal" childhood. I'm guessing others here do as well. Where we differ is that I think Kate Gosselin has the right to make the choice to put her children on television. I have zero desire to be famous and would not put my children on TV. But that's ME. Parents make choices every day that I wouldn't make for my own children. That doesn't make them bad parents.
My issue with the 15 Minutes blog is not that the folks there are against children on reality TV. It's that the level of abject hatred for Kate Gosselin is so over the top. I don't believe that 90% of the people there care one whit about the kids. It's about Kate hate and the need to feel superior, nothing more.
Nameless......
point taken. As with all things that make us us stand up, some MAY carry it too far, sometimes.

just to note, my name is franky, do not know which frankie you are talking about. Was It Frankie Grande? brother to Ariana the singer? He was on big Brother last year.
did I even mention a verandah anywhere?
you really think franky is my real name? lol....40-some years ago a woman called a girl franky...right
my brother always told me, never ever put your real name on the internet, and I have been franky since I was 15, since Mickey was oh so fine, lol, sounded good and I kept it. My family knows my real name, internet...hmmmm.not so much. You?
"Spew venom" at you, Franky? Have you read what you wrote about the posters of this blog? Come on. Now you're just making yourself look silly. Erm. . . SilliER.
wait a minute..., Nauseated and Arabella started on my back because of a blog I post on but did not mention here, is that right?
Right after we all started to understand each other with out blaming anyone.
Atleast nameless and I reached an agreement before that. Carry on, lol
waving bye to nameless =)
For someone who is such an expert on the Dionne quints, she should know that they were born in the '30s, not the '50s.
Where is the outrage over non-Gosselin children on TV? It's only about hate for Kate.
I think we can all agree you were completely disrespectful to the posters here. I also think we can agree that no one is surprised. You are the company you keep.
Franky, I refuse to lowercase it, is a known fruitcake with diarrhea of the mouth. She is writing drunk most of the time. Her 'style' of writing makes NO sense. And though I am no fan of Kate, this is a blog for her fans and yet here Franky comes to school everyone here about how to think. Steer clear of this one!
Nameless, I think you got to the heart of the matter with this:
"I think Kate Gosselin has the right to make the choice to put her children on television."
This is your opinion, and also a fact. Kate did make the choice, it is her right to make that choice. Until there is a law that states that parents cannot put their kids on television, Kate's within her rights.
The people who think it's wrong don't have to watch. I'm sure there are plenty of well adjusted people who simply don't watch any reality TV for a variety of reasons. But there are clearly people who are far from "well adjusted" who have spent years complaining, critiquing and obsessing over these particular 8 kids and their mom - mostly their mom. They've changed nothing, but going crazy over all things Kate Gosselin gives them something to do. I don't think they'll ever stop, and in the grand scheme of things they don't matter one bit.
Kate keeps them occupied and frustrated and angry. Even just a simple tweet about apples gets them going! But it's all for the kids, don't ya know? :)
Franky is a crazy one, different kind of crazy then Redbird aka LukeBandit. She can't string a sentence together, her comments are difficult to read and make zero sense. All she adds to the blog is about her drinking. Woman is truly batshit. She says she is trying to promote peace between the 2 blogs. Ha. Those of us who have left the great ADMIN'S rule don't want that drunk over here.
Sara
Sage, you have got to shut down Franky. Please don't make us scroll through her garbled nonsense.
No Name This Time
Aww, ladies, I am flattered I am important enough for you to continue talking about me. I have this to say, No me chingas!
Carry on
xoxox
Everyone...Franky is a nothing. Do not respond to her childish attempt for attention. Just remember she is a representative of Becks, her blog and the minions who post there.
You cannot control what people say or think...you only control how you respond to it.
Did someone lose control of a crazy from a blog? I tried to read her posts, after the 1st 3, it was a yawn fest. It shows the mentality and education of one's posters. Scroll through, ignore, she will find her sandbox toys again.
Crisp fall weather coming in the forecast, beautiful time of year! Hi to all the good peeps here. :) Have a great labor day weekend.
Farkle, I too am loving the signs of fall. We put an extra blanket on the bed last night! After a record-breaking summer, that was exciting to me.
I went out and gathered apples today and made an apple crisp. (The apples are pretty yucky otherwise.) There were tons of half-eaten apples everywhere. It was so cute. Whatever is eating them does not turn them over and eat both sides. They just get another one! You can see little teeth marks where they just scraped down to the core, over and over. I took a pic but can't post it here. All our dogs have picked apples. The big ones ate the whole thing, but the small dogs, one in particular, would eat a few bites and get another one. There were apples everywhere. Those things sounded like little bombs going through the mower. FOOM!
Seeing all those little teeth marks reminded me of this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGz8jcbJjRw
Hope everyone enjoys the long weekend!
Youre right sage.
one last thing, this 'Franky' person is not drunk. Just stoopid. That's just her 'online persona' that she thinks is cute.
She's exhausting. How do they put up with her over there??
I live about 40 miles south of Chicago and it is really HOT! Unbearable humidity. Everyone, it seems is having really bad allergies due to all the rain we have had previously.
It was 4 weeks ago today (two days before my daughters wedding) that I came down with a cold and I still have it. I cannot get rid of this cough.
Tomorrow is our last day on Nantucket. We've been coming year yearly for almost 40 years. This was the hottest I ever remember. I always bring clothes for warm and cooler weather. I didn't touch one of the cooler weather items the entire two week. We've been to the beach every day. Only big rain happened overnight one night only! Tomorrow the weather is supposed to break.
I've read a lot, knit a lot and gone to the movies more than we have in the past year at home. I've also gone to the gym every day because we've eaten s LOT! I hate to leave, but it's time to get into the fall swing of things at home. We'll visit DS and some dear cousins on the way back.
Nantucket sounds like a dream! Would love to see it someday.
We're on the other coast and were about 150 miles from the wildfires last week and the smoke was thick. Worst fires in the state's history.
Bad allergies here too, even the dogs are sneezing.
PJ's Mom, I can't imagine being so close to the fires. Stay safe.
We started coming to Nantucket when our son was an infant. We fell in love with it the first time we came. Just wished we loved closer. Hopefully when we retire in the next couple of years we will be able to spend more time here.
Allergies are always bad on the east coast this time of year... For DH and myself, the ragweed is awful!
Ya'll are making me jealous of your cooler weather. Still hot in south Texas.
Quiltart, we are not close, but that smoke really moves. The wind shifted and friends 1500 miles away had the haze from it. Crazy. I think the fires are mostly contained now, and not spreading as much. Firefighters have died, and many homes have been lost. That is horrible - but I think all the wildlife that died in terror is horrible too. For a while, there were brushfires everywhere here from people flicking out their butts. It would close down major freeways for a long time. URGH! There are lots of scorched shoulders and medians.
stxmom, we lived in San Antonio for a year, decades ago. Hottest year of our lives, and I grew up in the desert! Whew, that is some oppressive, humid heat. Didn't even cool down at night. How did pioneers do it before air conditioning - or electricity for even a fan!? People said we would get used to it but we were there from June through August the next year and never did. Ugh. That was back when it was expected that ladies wear pantyhose. Double ugh.
Nantucket sounds heavenly!
I have a four day weekend and am thinking of just doing the quiet thing and find a good book to read. I am wiped out and do not feel like going out and doing anything that requires effort.
I know a good book! It's called Room. But you might end up reading it in one night like everyone else I know who's read it. Then what would you do the other three days.
There are two new books out about Rosemary Kennedy that I would like to read one of them.
http://www.amazon.com/Rosemary-The-Hidden-Kennedy-Daughter/dp/0547250258/ref=pd_sim_14_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0WYZV7E69RFN9A4E9CES&dpSrc=sims&dpST=_AC_UL480_SR318%2C480_
http://www.amazon.com/The-Missing-Kennedy-Rosemary-Secret/dp/1610881745
Sage,
Let us know which one you choose, I would like to read them both but wondering if too much overlap between the two of them. Sounds like a very sad story for Rosemary.
We finally had a break in the heat, cool breezes and clear skies after days of smoke overcast. Next week looks like much cooler temps for us, time for leaves to start falling. Many yellow leaves have appeared here, some red showing, and the smell of cider and soup will be on many tables soon.
Love hearing of everyone's travels, thinking of stxmom, temps must be horrible for you. Have a safe weekend.
Sage, I read the sample of The Missing Kennedy: Rosemary Kennedy and the Secret Bonds on my Kindle last night and was not impressed with the writing. The author is a niece of Rosemary's caregiver. Haven't decided whether I'll spring for the whole book or
wait until the other book comes out in October.
Quiltart, I may wait then also for the other one in October.
It is a fascinating story. I remember hearing about this in the early 70's. I grew up in Wisconsin and one of the people I was working with at that time was related to one of the nuns taking care of Rosemary in the nursing home.
Gee, Sage! It may be the same women who wrote this book. Her aunt was a nun who was the caretaker. .. of course she probably had a lot of nieces and nephews.
After these many years I cannot remember his name. I think he said the nun was his aunt.
I hit the library this morning and picked up some fiction books....I hardly ever read fiction. It is hot outside and I am hunkering down and reading and hoping I get over this cold. My only obligations are feeding my daughters cats while she is away. She told me to help myself to her movies and her refrigerator....I can do that! I love their home...very comfy. It is like the Leave it to Beaver house. lol
Ouiltart and Sage,
Thanks for the reviews, I am going to wait also.
Hope you can rest Sage and feel better. :)
I wanted to share with you all the dress I wore to my daughters wedding. I put a very small picture on the sidebar. In our family we have a tradition of the red jacket (dancing jacket) and hat dance at weddings. Everyone at some point wears it. I was dancing with my nephew at the reception. I had already ditched the heels for sandals.
Very, very lovely, Sage! And what a cute and fun and special tradition!
Our family calls the 'dancing jacket' magical. When others see it they have to wear it too...not just our family.
If the dancing jacket is magical enough to give someone rhythm, I might have to get one to use here. This dude looks like he's having a slow seizure standing up. You two seem to have the dancing thing DOWN! From what you've said, your daughter's day was perfect!
Looking good Sage, dancing is so much fun and old traditions that are cut in stone in families are precious memories for everyone. The red hat, how cute!
Hope everyone's Labor Day weekend was a good one. It made this week fly by fast.
The red hat is snazzy! Looking good Sage!

Oh for Pete sake.
She's, apparently, a 40 something year old woman. What in the world is she doing wasting two seconds on this mess?

No self awareness!
Don'tcha know? NO ONE is supposed to EVER support Kate. It's hater logic.
I don't understand Beck's logic ...if you can call it that.
Deanna tweets a handful of tweets in support of her friend that she personally knows and she is accused of wasting seconds of her life. #friendship

Becks has no logic.
Happy Rosh Hashanah! Shana Tova!
Thank you, Sage! The same to all others who are celebrating the holidays!

When you have no life, friends, family that cares, no flashy law cases, you also could spend 80 hours a week blogging about a family who is on TV. I am so glad I have many interests and a job that fulfills my life and a family who cares. In a few years the G kids will move on to college or what ever they want to do Kate will be fine and the BL will still be drooling over Kate in the old folks home.
Becky is a giant hypocrite. lol
She's killed her own blog with her constant I Am Right posts. You reap what you sow, you knowitall bitchy HYPOCRITE.
what are YOU, BL, doing WASTING multiple YEARS on this mess? Bwahahahaha!
And notice that because of you great posters here, after ripping Frankie the weirdo a new butthole, she's slunk away from posting on EITHER blog. Score 1 for Sageway Express!
You mean Frankie took down the BL, or were Sage posters too much for the drivel she spit?
BL is an overachiever in having Kate own her, it's too funny. That should read on her degree, that a little family of 8 took over her whole life. ROTF!
http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/kate-gosselin-and-jeff-prescott-split-2015169
Well, if Kate was seriously dating, it wasn't very exciting for the public. There was only one date night caught by the paparazzi.
The excerpt below didn't make sense to me. Jeff Prescott's three children are all adults. The article makes it sound like he has little kids. His youngest daughter is 20, and his oldest daughter is 26 or 27. If the article is true, his new girlfriend is the same age as his kids.
Also, seems like there would be a contract involved if Jeff was to appear in an episode.
"The trouble started over Labor Day weekend, when the source says Prescott got cold feet about filming Gosselin's reality show, Kate Plus 8. He ended up canceling production plans just two days before the New York City shoot, after months of planning and preparation. The source adds that Prescott is protective of his three children from a previous marriage and didn't want the increased exposure, so his team advised him against filming with Gosselin."
I thought the same thing merryway.
I think it's a fake story. If they were dating, why would he be seen with his new girlfriend on two separate trips BEFORE Labor Day, when the trouble supposedly started? The facts don't line up. And how did they obtain the pics of him and the girl? It's not like photographers know who he is and are waiting for him. Those were obviously snapshots someone too with his or her camera.
What I don't find believable is that he'd be part of the show. That's what makes the story sketchy to me, but I agree the other facts don't line up.
Someone needed some fast money I think. Selling a far out story about Kate and her non boyfriend would sell in a hot minute. Wonder if the next story will be that Jon was dumped by his new love?
He does not have young children, but those twitter fans that love Kate jumped all over the story, and now look like fools. Gotta love it. Kate wins again. LOL.
Jon selling stories today to Daily Mail, hmmmm-----------. Didn't take him long although he denies bashing Kate. Now if he only stepped up and paid cs for his children.
franky, I think I hear Becky calling you. She does not like her minions travelling off the veranda.
Franky, grow up. who gives 2 shits how you spell your name, with or without a capital F.
Anonymous... LOL. I was thinking the same thing. What kind of childish adult makes a big deal about something so stupid?
It was a big enough deal around here for y'all to comment on it several times. LO
Off topic, but I have a movie recommendation. We watched Love and Mercy last night, which is about Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. It is excellent, very touching (and infuriating for some reasons too). We got it at Redbox but it is probably available on streaming too. I was nearly sobbing, reading the end credits. Here's a short video where Brian discusses the movie: http://www.accesshollywood.com/brian-wilson-on-his-wife-and-love-and-mercy-i-wouldnt-be-here-if-not-for-melinda_video_2968337
Hope everyone has had a great weekend.
Thanks for the recommendation PJm....I have been looking for a good movie.
I read a really good book this weekend...The Girl On The Train...loved it!
PJ,
First time hearing about it. I've loved the Beach Boys since I was little. I will definitely have to check that out.
I have been wanting to read The Girl on the Train! Thanks for the review! Have you read Room? Oh my gosh, that book freaked my freak out. There's a movie being made, but I don't know how they could do it justice.
I don't know how Love and Mercy didn't get more press, especially because John Cusack and Paul Dano are both in it. (It looks like Kate is also in it, LOL.) I guess because there are no explosions or graphic sex. We rent a lot of indie films, and the previews on the disks are also of indie films, which have led us to some really good films. Skeleton Twins is another good one.
Actually, I looked at that book..Room...I think I may get that one. I go in spurts where I read a lot.
Room will keep you up - it's hard to put it down, even if you are two hours past your bedtime!
Nope, nothing obsessive about the behavior of the BL's minions. Nothing at all.
What would compel someone to sit down and run the numbers on what Kate needs to maintain her home?
Over In TFW's County said... 150
I can't imagine what her bills are for that house and property. It has to be a burden, but as long as TLC is filming, she's going to keep the filming set. (Tuckers Mom, 146)...
++++++++++++++++
I can. I once sat down and figured out how much she needs a year to keep that place going, with mortgage, taxes, utilities, maintenance, etc., and it is staggering. When she bought that property, she had no idea in the world the cost involved in maintaining it. She never owned such a house and figured that the money would always keep rolling in, and she thought that Jon would be there to take care of everything. I think she's had her eyes opened.
Their obsession comes from the fact that she still has the house after the divorce and after the cancellation of their show. The bleeps had her homeless or living in a trailer down by the river by now.
Jealous and hateful.

September 22, 2015 7:44 PM
WHAT?
Kate tweeted a teaser that has some speculating that she's been filming. Looks like it's time for Jon to sell another story.
They were filming over the summer...I think Kate even tweeted that the show was coming back - hopefully they'll announce when it will return soon. Until then, it's going to be quiet, except for the haters, who never stop going on and on about Kate, no matter what.
Wanted to stop by and wish everyone a Happy Fall !
Same to you Shawn! Nice hearing from you!
Morning peeps! Saying hi, fall schedules are full for me, but hope all is well. :)
We had lovely weather to begin our Fall. It was a great Summer. But, it was over too soon.
I didn't hear the tornado siren at all. That's always a happy surprise.
Jon has given another interview. Mostly fluff, but mentions the kids. I'm sure Bl will assure her posters that he's really not using them for publicity or invading their privacy.
Even though Jon refers to himself as public figure, Bl swears that he is not one. Back in July, she defended him as undeserving of the same rippings that they give to Kate.
Here's Jon's latest interview. This is the one, he's finally found the right girl (again).
http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/jon-gosselin-says-life-with-girlfriend-colleen-conrad-is-super-normal-2015239
Heres Bl's stance that Jon is not a public figure. It just cracks me up.

******************
You all do exactly the same...just substitute "Kate" for "Jon." How can you not recognize this?
&&&&
You're free to think it's the same but to me it's not at all because of two very important factors:
1. Jon is not exploiting his children to make a living and thus, subject to the same criticism of what he does as Kate is, who has structured her entire life around using the children and the fame they give her to make a buck.
2. Jon is not an active public figure and thus does not deserve hyper criticism of every move he makes like you would a public figure. Yes yes yes he says things once in awhile when asked, but it's just not enough to rise to that level of a public figure anymore in my opinion. He is doing a normal job anyone with a musical ear could try.
Remember the judge in the Cosby case ruling that the records COULD be released because he was such a high profile public figure the case was a matter of public concern. Had he not been so famous, such as just a Jon Gosselin, the records might have remained sealed. The distinction between public figures and private figures and the level of public scrutiny allowed toward them is a legal one and complex, and there is no way Jon and his new lifestyle where he has remained much more quiet rises to the level of Kate, Cosby, or many other famous people.

That is unbelievable. TLC is a pit. The Duggars are addicted to fame. What happened to being humble? Poof. Gone. What happened to getting a JOB? They could work in a church or local ministry and serve without cameras. They do not see their hypocrisy. Instead, they arrogantly think they are showing people a better way. Sad.
I just read about TLC bringing the Duggers back. Sorry, I will not watch TLC at all until they have been removed from making $ on their scammed life. The boycott for sponsors will be hit, just like what happened to the View. I can take divorce in a family, but I could never support a show or station that would give support to a family that hid a creepy pedo in their home, it's even sadder that the Dugger girls laughed it all off, posing pics in tight clothes, full makeup, all over the internet. It's not hard to figure this family out, it was only the money they needed to survive, they had computers, phones, etc, in their home but no TV. It's not even sad anymore, this family has condoned what Josh has done, is he still missing from the so called hard labor camp? (another scam) Just watch the whole family creep back into these specials, TLC is a nothing station anymore. Hopefully the other families will pull their families off this channel and go elsewhere. imo
Jon will always be the G's kids Father, even if the BL wants to make him something he is not. He doesn't care what she thinks, he will use his kids and a new fling for publicity. It's too bad, it seems his new women doesn't care enough about Jon's children to see that he would pay cs for them. I wouldn't call her a great catch! :)
BL's claim that Jon is a private citizen is laughable. What private citizen regularly gives interviews to tell the world what a great guy he is? Why would he even be interview material if he didn't have the eight kids? If he is so great, he'd be taking care of his kids financially and not continually bashing their mother, who IS taking care of them. (And for the haterz to claim that Kate is the one bashing him is even more laughable.)
Has he ever dated a woman who wasn't the love of his life? He must have moved in after two dates, since he didn't have a home of his own.
She is the current love because it is a place for him to live. Jon is if nothing else predictable.
I would call him a male whore if I was really a nasty person but I'm not.
Cannot believe they
I cannot believe how stupid these people are! They really believe Jon is a saint.

Sheepless In Seattle has left a new comment on the post "McCaughey septuplets begin senior year of high sch...":
Jon could have stayed in that marriage if he had agreed to her terms. He could have continued with that lifestyle, the perks, the trips, the fame, the money. He opted out, and he had to know that things would be financially difficult for him, as well as being bashed about in the media. He knew Kate. He was married to her and he certainly was aware that this would not be an amicable parting, given her nastiness and controlling ways. Nevertheless, he was not happy and chose not to continue on that path.
What is it that the sheeple do not understand about that?
It's a re-write of Jon's history. Jon left Kate to party with 22 year olds, he moved to NY with one of them, he hung out with Michael Lohan, he thought that he could do no wrong even though every move he made only made him look worse and worse and gave people an insight on exactly why Kate had to tell him what to do all the time. The reason are "financially difficult" for Jon now is because he spent all his divorce money on trips and women. All he's managed to do is show the world (minus the bleeps - who think Jon is dreamy) just why Kate had the attitude she had when it came to dealing with Jon.
He knew what it would be for him if he left? Well. They were BOTH photographed in snazzy new sports cars after the split, they were BOTH photographed back in the day in shoes or sunglasses that cost hundreds of dollars, HE moved to Manhattan, the most expensive real estate in the country, where among other things listed as damaged in the 'break in' were his Louis Vuitton shoes. He had no idea what would happen and his recklessness during those first few months showed it. He was probably shocked when Christian Audigier cut him loose - no more yacht trips in the French Riviera and he couldn't use his kids to market a kids' line of Hardy clothing. And he DID say that was on the table. I really think he thought the gravy train would keep rolling based on their name alone.
I'm glad he's dealing with reality now and working, but wow, way to rewrite history, as Micha points out!
Jon has another interview in US. Sounds like he occasionally sees the twins for dinner. It's good that they are seeing him a little rather than completely cutting him out of their lives.

Bl's is caught in time-warp. They keep using "piecing and patching" and "one week with my family and one week away" in regards to Kate. The "piecing and patching" was from when TLC cancelled K+8. And, the "one week with and one week away" is from eons ago when Kate and Jon were still married. That was when Kate was doing the book tour and speaking engagements.
So, the Duggar girls are getting a show. It doesn't phase me, and I wish them well. They are young and shouldn't be punished for the sins of their brother. I had mixed feelings about Josh's juvenile crimes. I wasn't comfortable with the demonization as if there was no redemption to be had. His actions as an adult are deplorable. He makes me gag. Ugh. What a pig and a hypocrite. The guy has big problems and has made others suffer because of it.
Ruh roh, someone dared criticize Jon. PA Dutch Mom can't have that. She's right there, full of dogmatic devotion to defend her dear childhood friend, Jon.
I just wanted to point out how they try to white-wash Jon. Dutch Mom says Jon lived with Haily and Liz. But, Jon lived with Hailey, Morgan, Liz and now Colleen. On Couple's Therapy, Liz complained that when they were broken up for two weeks, Jon had been with four people and moved someone in. (I think I got that number right).

So Jon's living with yet another woman?? how many does that make? I remember him saying Haley was the love of his life..then when in line did he profess the same for Liz? Now it's another?
&&&&&&&&&&&
I think this has been discussed before. He lived with Hailey, Liz and now this one. That makes three over a period of six years. He does not have a revolving door of women. There is no flavor of the month.
¨If I was in Kate's shoes I certainly wouldn't want my young kids around the revolving door of girlfriends.¨
&&&&&&&&&
Would you want them around their mother and her married bodyguard who travels everywhere with them and sleeping who-knows-where in the hotel and rented houses?
¨Let's face it, both of these parents are losers. I hope the kids have great teachers so guide them toward some degree of normalcy.¨
&&&&&&&&&&&&
If you knew Jon, I really don't think you would be calling him a loser because he isn't. You do not know how much he is contributing to their support, nor that he isn't putting anything away for them. There are some things that Jon has done that I disagreed with (such as Celebrity Rehab), but as far as being a parent, he is anything but a loser. I have seen him as a parent, his love for his children, and the way he has supported them in their activities and just trying to bring normalcy into their lives WITHOUT having them pay to take care of his lifestyle.
I do not think that Jon is asking, nor expects a free pass from anyone. He has owned up to his mistakes, saw what that celebrity lifestyle was doing to his kids and is trying his best to work and find happiness in his new life. I have known Jon since the twins were in first grade, and after 10 years of living with Kate, I would think that he deserves finally being at peace without being called a loser.

Lol, Dang it. I don't know what happened to Ellen's name. I swear I had it in there.
Hailey, Morgan, Ellen, Colleen.
Jon hasn't lived by himself since he and Kate split up.
