I appreciate all of the work you put into it. <br />I emjoy Table For Twelve, but I am getting irritated at TLC. They must have packed up the J&K=8 production crew and sent it to New Jersey. They did a first day of school episode and except Kate used an iphone and the Hayes picture was in the house, it was like the same shot as when Kate took the first day picture. That gives me bad pangs of missing the Gosselins and I hate when TLC does that and I have been seeing that kind of thing a lot lately. The only show they seem to use some originality in is with the Duggars. <br />I hope everybody's holiday is special and I wish health and happiness for all as we move into the new year.tashaporkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614153610713537018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-88365639423853653312009-12-22T22:32:07.823-05:002009-12-22T22:32:07.823-05:00Hello everyone!

It now works off of the theme lifes' suprises. While I feel that TLC is justified in suing Jon for breach of contract because not showing up for filming and not honoring his exclusivity and he did a terrible dishonor to his family with all of his choices and lifestyle, I don't see how TLC can say that he tarnished their image. I think if they want to show the likes of Tiger Woods and they find it gives ratings, they could have worked with Jon the way that he is instead of trying to hide it since the paparazzi was showing it to us anyway.tashaporkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614153610713537018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-52851049143271844582009-12-21T15:00:17.374-05:002009-12-21T15:00:17.374-05:00MosbiusDesigns said...

Tiger Woods cheated while still married, while Jon was separated at the time.

Tiger Woods may have ruined his marriage with his but Jon's was really just a bad decision.<br /><br />Its funny how TLC claims Jon caused irreparable damage while they attempt to profit off the Tiger Woods mess.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11583604356556708165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-23615915393965605842009-12-21T10:33:46.558-05:002009-12-21T10:33:46.558-05:00Tashapork,

Can't remember the last time we had so much snow.<br />-------<br />Thanks for asking Jessica. We only got 5 inches, so just enough for fun. Temperature is up to 40 now so melting fast. My older daughter & husband from Florida are flying into NC on Monday. He's never seen snow so hoping there will still be some when they get here. LOL, my 10-year-old twins took plastic bowls and filled them with snow and put in the freezer so if it's all melted outside, he can still make a snowball. Kids can be so funny.Linda "Original"https://www.blogger.com/profile/13379321670033802865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-21976881991504657942009-12-21T07:13:23.733-05:002009-12-21T07:13:23.733-05:00Tashapork, I too am upset that TLC aired that show...Tashapork, I too am upset that TLC aired that show about Tiger Woods. It shows me that because there ratings have dropped, by losing J&K+8, they are now grasping things that will draw ratings. How sad it is that TLC has chosen to exploit another family, just to get the big ratings and I am sure they did. TLC now looks like another Tabloid show to me. Now thats just my opinion, but isn't TLC supposed to be The Learning Channel????<br />If anyone agrees with me, just e-mail TLC and their sponsors, don't agrue the case here!#1caregiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070571518943584981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-50124646086488788632009-12-21T02:36:01.446-05:002009-12-21T02:36:01.446-05:00I havent made a comment in a good month or so but ...I havent made a comment in a good month or so but wanted to say something since the devorce is final. Im proud of Kate she is such a great role model for all of us Moms. She holds her head up high and goes for the gold and it all paid off! Im so glad to hear Kate has primary custody glad to hear the kids get a good stable parent most of the time. Still wondering like everyone else about the house. Kate said she will never do anything to get rid of the house and I believe her. I wonder what happens when Jon has his custody days. Jon paying a 5 figure child support-WOW! I dont think there is any way that amount will ever get paid to Kate but who knows. Hopefully Jon will realize how much he has taken advantage of his family. I hope the kids are coping well with all the changes. Like everyone else I miss my Monday night with the Gosselin family. I hope we get an update soon. And Linda- I thought the same thing- why is Kate in DC? And my next thought was, I hope she can get home safe and soon because of the winter storm!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16720843471711955885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-69292423975127132562009-12-21T02:33:26.852-05:002009-12-21T02:33:26.852-05:00SchmeckyGirl said..

What's the difference?<br /><br />Speaking of appearances, they made a lot of money off of appearances since the beginning of their show as well as money off those pictures and the two books and all the "love offerings" they received, so maybe they split all that and that's why Jon can afford those hefty child support payments. Maybe they both really are a lot better off than we all think.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242806259961125116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-48709860580921770482009-12-19T22:57:09.117-05:002009-12-19T22:57:09.117-05:00I agree something does not seem right about the ch...I agree something does not seem right about the child support if indeed income plays into it as it does in CT - infact in CT the person paying the child support must be left a certain amt of money no matter what. Kate has not made out as well as it sounds if he has no income - just words on paper. My ex was court ordered to give me a decent amount in child support and alimony each week - today he owes me over $40,000 and is court ordered to pay it @ $8.00 a week due to his current income<br /><br />I also thing if Kate got primary custody that she and Jon have joint custody with the kids living the majority of the time with Kate. Could be as little as one day more a week with Kate - that would mean all shared decisions etc. Otherwise we would be reading Kate had sole custody. So do not think Jon has given up anything there that is different from what they have been doing- except possibly if he stays at teh house- quite honestly I hope he can because if Kate has 4 days a week for example and Jon has 3 where will he take them if he cant stay at the house????mema to 3 boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906456925455590793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-71629959054476812252009-12-19T22:52:41.562-05:002009-12-19T22:52:41.562-05:00Wow there is no way in hell that I would feel sorr...Wow there is no way in hell that I would feel sorry for Jon. He screwed himself over when he started trying to screw everyone else (in every sense of the word). He made the choices to cheat, he made the choices to try and test TLC and push them to their limits. He makes the choice to look like a fool for publicity and to sell pictures of himself AND his kids to the paps and the rags. He is more than a smuhck! From the sounds of it he does not really care too much about his children, cause he is fine with visitation while he finds young ho bags to sleep with. Selling pictures of his family for money is disturbing, he started using his own children. He screwed himself over. He made the choice to send his life in that direction and continued to make crap choices that he knew would not only effect his life but his 8 little childrens lifes as well. <br /><br />I feel sorry for the kids! I am not shocked that he has to pay so much in child support. child support is expensive if you just have one kid but he has 8 so it is now time to pay out his butt.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487747224767131981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-78344814668552352942009-12-19T22:33:00.159-05:002009-12-19T22:33:00.159-05:00I loved when she sang paparazzi too and my other f...I loved when she sang paparazzi too and my other fav part was the Hershey kisses part.

It's definitely a bittersweet time, but it is going to be better for both Jon and Kate. (As long as Jon can pay all of that child support!) <br /><br />I miss seeing the kids as well! It's too bad that Jon had to make such a big whoop of all of this.... it certainly hasn't gotten him anywhere, other than being more screwed up than he already is! I do feel a tiny pang of sympathy for the guy, but he's brought it upon himself so he will have to deal with the consequences. <br /><br />Thanks so much for posting the show Babymama... I unfortunately missed the initial airing. Linda, I totally agree about Kate's laugh! Did anyone else get a chuckle of Kate singing "Paparazzi"?!! I don't think that I could have sung on national television.... much too embarrassing! I admire her chutzpah though!<br /><br />I haven't posted in a while, with all the holiday craziness, but it's good to be back! :o) Hopefully Kate and Jon will work something out for the holidays, and the kids will have a great time. The whole family deserves some R&R after all of this!

I didn't realize just how much I would miss them when they went off the air. I was thinking that Jon might have given the house to Kate so that it couldn't be lost in his court battle and so that he is not on the hook for that huge mortgage. I also think Kate having primary custody doesn't mean that there isn't joint legal custody. I do hope Kate has some say over babysitters and such and can keep the likes of Michael Lohan off her property. <br />I hope everybody is staying healthy this holiday season getting sick at Christmas is rough and that people aren't getting too stressed out to enjoy.tashaporkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614153610713537018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-63318023407025805262009-12-19T14:16:51.394-05:002009-12-19T14:16:51.394-05:00momof2minnesota,
I agree with you that as much as ...momof2minnesota,<br />I agree with you that as much as Jon is a schmuck, I do feel for him. Only because I think he isn't an evil person, but a truly lost "sheep". And he is going to pay really BIG TIME for his mistakes. Plus it's going to be very hard for people to trust him now, even if he were being genuine.<br /><br />However, though I value the fact that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I don't feel that your comment on Kate being "very greedy and power hungry" is a fair statement. It sounds more like a personal judgement without factual support. <br /><br />If your comment was based on the outcome of the divorce, well the first thing I have to say is, How sure are we that all the things listed here are 100% accurate? Even if it were, we don't know what transpired during the whole court proceedings. And we do not know what Jon might have requested in court, nor what Kate had requested. If the court has made such a decision, I am certain that there must be strong reasons for the ruling to be as such, and that much calculation would have been done before deciding on the child support to be given. <br /><br />Plus, for all we know, Jon might have side line businesses that does not violate TLC's contract. <br /><br /> "Power hungry"?... It's just hard for me to see this...Raelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258246715454757509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-84132168814985622282009-12-19T13:56:56.223-05:002009-12-19T13:56:56.223-05:00Cindy you said it all, I could not have said it be...Cindy you said it all, I could not have said it better....Jon once said that his mother told him life is about choices well he made his choices.<br /><br />MOMOFTWOMIN I dont feel dont sorry for him.
