Kate Gosselin To Be Regular Contributor To New TLC Project: ImperfectWomen.com
TLC this week unveiled Parentables, which is that channel’s first standalone, non-program blog project, which is entering the very crowded, though still popular, mom-blog space. Parentables has been in the works for the past several months and will include regular contributions from Kate Gosselin and Michelle Duggar from TLC’s hit shows Kate Plus 8 and 19 Kids and Counting among others.
These reality stars will not be expected to carry the site but will help draw the initial attention needed. They were selected because “they have some established, credentialed expertise in a given subject area, such as finance, health, education and so on”.
Bloggers on this site will be paid per post. Their posts must be original and exclusive to Parentables. There is a possibility that if a blogger receives enough positive feedback, a show could be built around them. Kelly Day, EVP and GM of Discovery Communications’ Digital Media and Commerce division, told paidContent in an interview:
“We obviously would always hope a show would come out of it,” Day said. “We spoke with [Discovery Group President] Eileen O’Neill when we were thinking of doing this last fall. The programming people were excited about this and getting the talent on board. But the main focus for this is online and building an independent social network. Still, and I don’t want to speak for the network, if an emerging digital superstar were to be found within Parentables, it would be looked on as an added bonus.” Congratulations to Kate Gosselin on this new project!

Kate Gosselin will be a part of the celebrity line up for the Kentucky Derby Festivities that take place in Louisville, Kentucky next month. She will appear in the annual Pegasus Parade and at the celebrity luncheon.

Kate Gosselin to Appear in Kentucky Derby Pegasus Parade: Gather.com
According to a report from the Greenfield Reporter, the Kate Plus Eight star will join a number of celebrities including SNL's Tracy Morgan, former Disney star Raven-Symone, and Miss America 2011.
This sort of line up makes one wonder what--if any--the significance is behind this particular group of celebrities with regard to the Kentucky Derby. The media hasn't published any relevant information about Kate Gosselin being a horse enthusiast, professional gambler, or having any deep-rooted ties to Kentucky. Miss America is an understandable choice, but Raven-Symone and Tracy Morgan? It would be interesting to learn what--if any--were the reasons behind these selections.
Maybe Kate Gosselin will be breeding horses on a future episode of Kate Plus Eight. That might be her new means of financial security in light of the tentative nature of her reality TV show. Alas there may be no rhyme nor reason to the selection of Kentucky Derby festivities whatsoever, and if that's the case, more power to Kate Gosselin. This will be an experience she'll undoubtedly enjoy and share with her little charges. One day their famous mom will have a lovely photo of herself in some sort of silly wide-brimmed hat.
Watch Philly Fun HERE!

Ohhh... Love the "scent" of this post, Baby Mama. I'd cook it for you.

FiredUp - From your last comment on the other post, I am empathetic. Do you think they are stuck in the movie Groundhog Day where they just repeat the same junk day after day after day...?
-----
Back to mommy duty with kids. Hugs to all.
RE Parentables: Wow interesting. I am not really clear on exactly what the site is/does. Would someone be able to explain it a bit more?
ReplyDeleteRE: the Kentucky derby. The line up of celebrities does seem odd. I can't wait to find out why they were chosen.
I also love the scent but I am like you BabyMama, and do not cook. Can you also cook it for me LindaO? LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat to see TLC proved the haters wrong and are still giving Kate opportunities. I wonder if the haters will ever understand that TLC is invested in Kate. No matter how much they whine and stomp their feet Kate is still relevant.
Can’t wait to see Kate in her derby hat. Sounds like so much fun.
The Philly preview shows Kate and the kids had another great time together. Look forward to the show.
Very cool Y'all know how much I love blogs. :)
ReplyDeleteLinda I'll take whatever you're making...too tired to cook. :P
PS YAY it worked!
ReplyDeleteFiredUp,I feel you. It is really sad that they take such a serious matter and turn it into a base for their hate. I remember how dirty I felt the first time I visited the Rediculously Wasteful Activities site to see what some people were talking about.
ReplyDeleteIt is easy to get in their snarls even when you don't want to. Yesterday, I was having a conversation with some really awesome people, but was busy and didn't pay enough attention. By the time I got back, hater had invaded and ruined the whole thing and turned it into something it wasn't.
Oh say can you see, by the way that I blocked you
If you're a mean and snarky bully,
just follow the dweebs to the blocked column too
Yeah I noticed that too. Totally sucked, but it's Twitter. Everything is public...unless you block. Even then, still public. but it was a good convo, huh?
ReplyDeleteThank you gals for the support. I will try to behave better. I've been told that they are discussing and dissecting me on the hater blogs again.
ReplyDeleteOh well, let them analyze and critique me...takes them off Kate for a few minutes! LOL!
According to them I have somehow offended Kate and that's why I was not included in her sign-off list of tweeters the other nite!
Idiots, as if Kate can remember everyone posting on twitter on a given nite and is supposed to render a personal Gnite to them! Poor woman has 9,000 anxious little tweeters now that all would love to get a response from her!
As that numbers grows, the likelihood of a personal response will dwindle. Surely, Kate probably will always have some that she favors...and so be it...she can use some personal twitter friends!
If she never ever tweets me again, that is fine! That will not diminish my support for her and my internet presence for her! I'm just a nameless twitter presence for her...probably will never have the pleasure to meet her...but she will always be a "rock star"...LOL...in our house!
I have tweeted her and she has never tweeted me back....are they talking about me?? LOL Seriously the fact that they think we care is laughable. It bugs them that we don't fit into their preconceived notion of who we are.
ReplyDeleteI laugh so hard when they follow me because they almost immediately unfollow because they realize just how boring I am! LOL it's really hard for them to wrap their heads around the fact that some one can be a fan and not be a rabid one. I have a life and kids and my whole life does not revolve around a TV show.
FiredUp don't let them suck you in. It a fun game to them to twist what you say to make it seem like you are a rabid fan. I know most of your feelings come from the injustice of their stance. Don't give them any enjoyment. They need to find better outlets for their energy, like raising money for kids that now have no homes because of the hurricanes.
LOL I need more coffee...I meant tornadoes. Ack.
ReplyDeleteFireUp--Those small-minded people are stuck in a rut and don't define who you are. We are all very proud to know you!! Just wish we could hear your voice again!
ReplyDeleteLOL Corrina and CMO3! Thank you gals! Well said about the fact we do have a life!
ReplyDeleteMy voice...Corrina...seriously, my southern drawl doesn't offend ya? Remember, it's the slow twang that drove the haters nuts!
Maybe, that could be my new weapon...voice twitter by FiredUp..slow creeping vernacular to second by second grate on every nerve the haters have! A n t i c i p a t i o n! Yeah, baby!
You are too funny FiredUp!! Love ya girl! My grandfather and son's wife and inlaws are from the south--just love the drawl. They think I sound funny. Twang away!! Voice Twitter--soon please!
ReplyDeleteThat's why I really see it more as about the hate than about Kate, they take apart what we say, healthy meals that Kate feeds her kids, what we tweet, whatever happens to pop in front of them. I agree with Craftymom that they need to find other children to look out for, ones that actually need the help. If they put their energy to good cause, they would feel better about themselves and have less hate in their lives.
ReplyDeleteHi all - So tired I'm just dragging. Hope everybody's had a great day!
ReplyDelete-----
The AKOs sole purpose is to gain attention for themselves. I cannot even remotely think it has anything to do for helping children, just their own attempts at getting attention.
It always seems worse at end of the month; must be when their meds are exhausted.
Good evening everyone! Worked crazy hours today. It's hard on a night when you have plans to come home, hug & kiss the kids, get dinner ready & go out! I don't get to do it often, so I don't beat myself up with the guilt more ;)
ReplyDeleteCame home at 11pm and spend 2 hours skimming through the wedding on DVR. Many of my friends got up at 3am to watch it. They were smoking the hard stuff because there was no way I could get up that early. I mean, isnt that what E! and Access Hollywood was for? Well at least there were some crazy ass hats to see. Did any of you get up to watch it?
TGIF~ William & Kate were blessed to be married on my dads birthday! or so I told him....Where is everyone? What are we doing this weekend?
Hi all.
ReplyDeleteBaby Mama... I was one of those idiots who got up early yesterday and watched the wedding. Others here also did the same thing. So I was dragging this morning.
Kids are away at a retreat this weekend and it's a good thing since I worked all day. Just got back from a beautiful Arts Gala this evening so nice to do something adult for a change.
About that wedding, I wonder if they have any leftover white chocolate truffles from the reception. Those sounded yummy. Oh well...
Good evening/Good weekend !
Just a peep from me. I've been enjoying Kate and the kids in Australia. Makes me wanna hop a plane. My daughter was just there on a business trip. She said it's like California.
ReplyDeleteI have not been reading all the posts just because the sun shines so much in Florida that I am not spending as much time on the computer but I am still here loving Kate and the Kids.
I don't know how to Twitter and don't really understand the need. Is it fun? Should I learn?
AND, BTW, I loved the Royal wedding. We are planning my youngest daughter's big day on October 1. We won't have trumpets or horse-drawn carriages but maybe a bagpiper. (Her fiance is a Scot). Their church in rural PA is a mini-Westminster. I exagerate... It's pretty. Sorry. I'm very excited.
ReplyDeleteAnd a grand-baby boy will be born in July.
I TOLD YOU I'M BUSY!!
Still loving Kate and this blog.
HolliDay! So happy to see you, how are you? We missed you, you need to come here more often. Congrats on the grand-baby news.. Around here it USED to be all about baby, but recently had onther wave of friends getting married. So everything is all about weddings! And I'm so off that train its hard to think or sadly care about. I love going to baby showers & talking about babies. When I have to hear anoother story about a bridal expo or looking at flowers for bouquets Im gonna loose it! Please dont be a stranger!
ReplyDeleteMissed you guys, but things have been so crazy. Have yet ANOTHER bridal shower tomorrow. This ones at the Marriott so it's gonna be a good one. I already stopped eating now till I got there at noon. lol Ok so whats everyone doing for the rest of the weekend? xoxox
Morning ladies!!
ReplyDeleteFinally after days of bad weather we have sun today!! Yay!! It's time to think of planting new flowers and getting the garden ready. We had damage to our area also, but everyone pitching in made the task of cleaning up much easier. :) Lots of trees will planted and new buildings will be put up.
Looking forward to another show of Kate and the 8. Can't wait to see what kind of derby hat Kate wears.
Hope all is well with everyone. Prayers and sending hope to all in the paths of the storms last week.
I think I might make an ice cream cake for Mother's Day. Any idea where I find those chocolate crunchy things in a DQ cake??
ReplyDelete(I don't bake much, can you tell?)
tig (hersheysue on twitter)
Hello everyone, Hope everyone had a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteToo funny Baby Mama, just got back from a bridal shower as well. Last thing I wanna do right now is thinking about weddings, blah lol It's my brother that is getting married so it's all the rage all summer with the family.
HolliDay - Hugs! So glad you dropped by. Glad things are going well! Miss you!
ReplyDelete----
TiggerFan - Check the baking aisle at your grocery store. Sold here and called chocolate baking crunches by various companies. Only, you can only use them in ice cream as a topping. They get soggy pretty quickly. (okay, I started to tease that an "ice cream cake" is really ambitious; or that it's "freezing" not baking. But it's fantastic you're doing that.) Let us know how it turns out.
----
KatherineDenise - It's the season for all those showers, lol. At least it's your brother. I'm amazed at the invitations to showers from people that are just casual acquaintances.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow night. I agree with you, tashapork, Philly is a really neat town. History, great sandwiches, and some of the country's best bookstores.
ReplyDeleteBubbles - Glad you've got sun today. My prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteBom dia!! FiredUp is being taught Portugese by Jacque & Debora!
ReplyDeleteSweet girls they are...Jacque is twitter quick always to respond!
Looks like our Kate is still off somewhere...gotta figure she is doing some Twist of Kate material. She tweeted that she cannot see the show tonite because they don't have TLC wherever she is!
But said she will be on twitter to answer questions anyway. Haters are still exhaling their stale mundane comments. Wish fans would not respond to them...some young ones...newbies are puzzled at the hatred and easily are drawn into fruitless debate!
Quick note Kate support group here! TLC has New Zealand, Australian and Zoo episodes being repeated tonite.
ReplyDeleteOn my schedule, they are starting at 6pm thru 10pm when new Philly episode starts. So any who missed those first 3 shows can get them tonight!
Woo Hoo...gonna let my 11yr. old catch those early shows again! Hope all are having a great day!
Crafty Mom of 3...I finally caught on to what this voting thing was and I put my 2 cents in!
hello,
ReplyDeleteIt seems that recently the bad rumors about Kate Gosselin decided stop,
I was not aware of any of these days there are some that do not know?
I confess, I'm outdated
Firedup is good to read your comments on twitter I'm glad you're learning Portuguese with us, has no idea how much already taught us english.
The project of Kate Gosselin seems to be very good, all good for her,and for y'all
Kisses.
Thank you for the new post :) i was just thinking when is kate's new series coming out i cant remember what it was called ?
ReplyDeleteThanks, FiredUp for the info about the schedule for Kate +8 tonight. I will definitely be watching and am so looking forward to the new episode.
ReplyDeleteI also put in my two cents for CMo3--
Things have been a bit crazy here--besides all the news worldwide--our nephew Jim died in an accident on Friday. Please pray for his family.
Thank you.
Corrina -- So sorry to hear of your tragic loss. I will be thinking of you and your family.
ReplyDeletefascinated - The celebrities at the Brown's Derby party always seem pretty eclectic in those chosen. No particularly groupings. I'm going to a local Derby party but don't particularly care for Juleps unless very well made, but it's a tradition.
ReplyDelete----
Corrina - Again my prayers for your family with the loss of your nephew, Jim.
----
Those of you on Twitter please continue to vote daily for our CMo3's blog, and remember to retweet. Tyvm.

I'm enjoying the Australia/New Zealand repeats and looking forward to tonight's Philadelphia episode.
----
One last thing, I'm now referring to the AKOs as "Mules" for reasons that suit my brand of Southern humor. ;) Sometime, I'll explain.
Thank you so much, ShirleyNoName and Linda for kind words and prayers.
ReplyDeleteI seem to have a "special" angel today who's actually keeping my spirits up and may not even realize she's doing it.
Okay--"Mules" it is. :)
I just watched my all time favorite episode of K+8. It was like reliving my favorite vacation. I even saw the hotel we stayed in in the background, it was next door to the cemetary. Those kids have strong legs to walk as far as they did. The transportation in Philly is wonderful. We went to Pats when it was super crowded. We went in the heart and that flight simulator. The room with all of the statues is really cool. The show did not have enough time to do justice to the Reading Terminal Market, there is not anything you could want for in there especially for someone who cooks organically. I just love all of the education they are getting.
ReplyDeleteJust watched the show, those kids were moving right along and I love the statues also. I'm like Kate, would love to have one to talk to. LOL
ReplyDeleteCorrina, sending my prayers to all of you!!
Thanks LindaO if you sent us sunshine. Below freezing tonight again, and it's suppose to be spring. Crazy!!!
Hope everyone is having a good week and can enjoy something fun with their families. :)
Hello everyone! Got to sit with my kids tonight and watch Kate Plus 8. They really wanted to see the kids in Philly, since they loved it there the 2 times we went. I really loved this episode too, and although I'm not a hockey fan either it made me want to see a Flyers game!
ReplyDeleteTashapork~ I too love Pat's but I havent been to any other the other places to compare it too. We pritty much only went to that mall in Philly, the Bell and the Hard Rock for a party. Its funny I only have gone there in the Winter as well.
I have not been following Kate on Twitter, so I was confused as to where she is right now and why she couldn't live Tweet. I guess someone needs to fill me in! BAD FAN SITE OWNER. I guess I'm just hoping that the ratings are better than last week. I loved the New Zealand episode so I'm confused as to why they said that less than a million were watching. I'm hoping it was over for this one since I really liked it. What did you all think???
Corrina~ I hope you got my email. You are such a sweet amazing woman and our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. ((Hugs))
ReplyDeleteAs always you have always been such an amazing addition to this site and I'm so blessed to have met such a strong compassionate person. Were here for you! xoxox
Corrina, your family is in my prayers,take extra good care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteThe day we went to Pats it was super crowded, we should have gotten a sandwhich from each to compare, but truthfully never thought of it. When we stayed by King of Prussia Mall, they had a convienience store called Waa waas that actually had pretty comparable cheesesteaks. There is also a wonderful restaurant in Center City called Jones, best potpies and seafoods. Especially those who don't live so far like I do, they have great educational stuff for kids to do. The Please Touch Museum where they had an episode a couple of years ago is also there.
Yes! Ive been to the Please Touch Museum. That one was fun. I love walking downtown by the dock and hanging out in all the shops. Alot of young people hang out there though. We also went ot a great restaurant that used to be a fire house but forgot the name.
ReplyDeleteI hope that this episode was a more relateable one for the viwers. The blogs (on both sides) have been quiet lately. I don't know if its because people are so busy, or because they all gave up fighting about nothing! lol
I am thinking or hoping that recent events around the world have taken peoples' attention away from petty Gosselin issues to more significant and meaningful matters at least for a little while. My prayers go out to all of our millitary and counterterrorism people and their families as well as those who lost friends and families at the direction of the madman.
ReplyDeleteCorinna, I am so very sorry, I lost my 27 year old son in September and am still numb.
ReplyDeleteBM, raven Symone does many appearances to raise money for Multiple sclerosis (my per charity)
BabyMama as usual when "certain" people mention the ratings they don't ever give the rest of the information just the part that they want put out there if you know what I mean. If one were to read further on the ratings for the New Zealand show what was left out was the fact that the ratings were lower across the board for all shows on all the networks. It was because of the holiday and the fact that the show also was on a Jewish holiday. What did fail to get mentioned because it seems the "other" side is more concerned about ratings than we are, but they left out the part where it was stated that the Kate Plus 8 show actually had a good showing in the ratings when compared to the other shows on the same day and TLC was in fact pleased with the results. I rarely take an interest in the ratings myself but I was curious and took a gander for myself because there does seem to be a huge gap beween what is the truth and what is fiction so to depend on the negative group for the ratings and the evaluation might not be the best method on determining the standing of the show and that is why out of curiosity I took a look myself for once.
ReplyDeleteCorrina my heart and my prayers go out to you and your family during this time of tragic loss. There are no words that can comfort you during a time like this but just know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteThe comment that Lexxi made I would have to disagree with because I was reading an article that stated that Pawn Stars show on the 25th of April was up a bit from last week and its 2.4 and 2.6 adults 18-49 ratings put it ahead of everything else on cable. I did some research and for example the week of 4/18 Pawn Stars viewership was 5.905 million @ 10 pm its viewership for 4/25 @ 10 pm was 6.362 million viewers and the 10:30 viewership was up also from the previous week. Also other show that were up were WWE Raw and Secret Life of the american Teenager. So when Lexxi stated "what was left out was the fact that the ratings were lower across the board for all shows on all the networks" she was not correct in that statement.
ReplyDeletePrecious ladies--Your kind words and prayers are so important to me and my family. What kind spirits you have. It means so much at a time like this.
ReplyDeleteAnd Denise--My sincere condolences on the loss of your son--I didn't know about that. My prayers are with you too.
Thank you all for your loving kindness.
Corrina & Denise -
ReplyDeleteMy deepest sympathies to you both, more than I can express. Life can sure jerk an unexpected knot out of know where, sometimes, can't it?
My son will soon be almost 32. If he made it to his mid 20's, I would've considered myself extremely blessed. Yet, he's still with me!
Here's one who wasn't supposed to still be here who is, and two gone who were supposed to still be here.
What can one say? Not much, what words could express or suffice?
Extending my heartfelt empathy regarding lost love ones, Corrina & Denise.
ReplyDeleteLoss of a loved one is never ever easy to deal with.
Kate has said that she is working on something special and that she would fill us "tweeties" in on it when she could!
I think she may be out of the country...or at least in a 3 or 4 hour time zone difference. She had tweeted that she would not be able to see the show due to TLC not being available where she was...but that she would still be tweeting and answering questions.
Obviously, something happened that delayed her from coming on. Next thing you know, some imposter with a similar @KatePLusmy8 shows up...notice the capital L...was NOT Kate...I knew it wasn't her right away!
I just signed off...wasn't going to engage the idiot trying to fool fans...I knew TLC would yank it quickly...and they did!
Loved the Philly episode...I got a kick out of the hotel scene with Kate and the beds...putting lotion and socks on boys hands...new thing for me..never thought of that...someone mentioned for chapped, dry hands?
Kate's humor and dry wit was at it's peak! She said a plenty to goad the haters and keep them yappin' for another month or two! LOL
ger1man27 and I stand corrected, Thank you. I would suggest that you read the definition of "across the board" though as the meaning is a general term which means that for shows of similar interest, date, times, etc. That does not mean all shows or every show. So if you consider that I stated "across the board" you might understand what I meant by that definition. As I also stated I'm not as in to or concerned about ratings to such a degree that I would take the time or effort to go into all the stats and numbers because you will also see different interpretations depending on what site you visit for ratings.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the episode last night. You can see the love they all have for each other. The kids being kids love to tease their mom about her fears like her fear of creepy, crawly things. Most of us aren't fans of those things. The children I think have more fun teasing their mom than anything else. You can see their personaities coming more and more defined and each one has such special adorable qualities. Loved the "hands on" museum. what wonderful learning and fun experiences the children are being given. First hand experience is the best teacher of all.
ReplyDeleteI saw something every divorced Mom deals with "we lost it over at Daddy's house" typical kids I was happy to see that she didn't get disgruntled about it, I have seen moms come unglued.
ReplyDeleteMy deepest sympathies to Corrina and Denise. Must be something in the air...sigh. My own Mom passed suddenly in March. Some precious items of hers were lost in their journey back to my home. My littlest grandson is back in the PICU - the same child who was so gravely ill last Nov/Dec. Seriously don't know how much more stress I can handle without bursting :(
ReplyDeleteSophia, I'm so sorry for the loss of your Mother. My heart goes out to you. And you and your little grandson are in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteDenise~ Love Raven Simone!
ReplyDeleteTo everyone dealing with a loss, my heart goes out to you. I know I have been MIA so much recently but it never means that I'm being insensitive to any of you. I'm happy that you have a place to come and talk about it..
I have not been able to keep up with the lack of Kate Tweets...hoping you guys can tell me whats been going on. I understand a fake account was quickly removed.. but why are those nasty haters still on?
I guess Kate took the little girls on a short trip and I don't think she wanted the paparazzi to know.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone see the ratings for this week? Well here they are: Kate Plus 8 (TLC, 10pm)
ReplyDelete- 0.681 million viewers
- 0.5/1 HH
- 0.3/1 A18-49
The ratings are dropping. Should we as viewers start to worry that the show will no longer be on? Since the first show, April 4, the show has gone down from 1.306 million to 0.681 million. There is no way that this can be good.
ger1man27 - Okay, you're a new poster. Just an FYI that we've debated ratings here before.
ReplyDeleteAll tv shows run their course and we've enjoyed watching the G's. That said, TLC seems firmly behind Kate and seems not upset over ratings, so why should we be upset?
TLC is not mainstream network.
If this is a big issue for you, maybe somebody here will rehash past conversations. Doesn't seem to be many takers so far. (Sorry, but having been there, done that, I'm not up for doing it again. Anybody else?)
I just enjoy watching them, particularly this season, and will continue to enjoy it.
Oh, one more thing...since you enjoy GWOP so much in your postings there, you might find ones there more interested in the "sky is falling, the sky is falling" rhetoric. We're not much into that here since most of the khaters have been blocked.
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon my lovely ladies & gentleman! Ohh Linda, the troll alarm went off in Wayne Manor so I set up my suit to get ready to investigate. Did some of those 15min haterz try to come on clean turf to try to rumble? They wouldn't dare try to mess with this site right?? Don't even try..
ReplyDeleteOhh "concerned" viewer, never fear. Kate Gosselin has been on Tv making money fir YEARS which I'm sure must eat you alive. She will continue to do this show for as long as she can & hopefully move onto bigger and better. I know your part of that hurtful group that keeps thinking Kate Gosselin is done. But as with the past few years, aren't you all just a bit tired in saying her ship is sinking? You won't get your way & get her off the air. Why is this so important to you? Why does it eat so badly at you all that she's so successful & wealthy to the point that you may very well never be?
Please Ger1man27, try to focus, if your a fan of the show, on all that Kate has accomplished in the years she has been on Tv. Try to be supportive of this single mom doing right by her family and making a living with the phenomenon that is Reality TV. The novelty has long faded, but we as her fans hope there is more to come. Whether it's Kate Plus 8, Twist of Kate, or anything in between. And even if the show does cancel, we wish her & her family success with anything they do in the future. And of course to keep us posted about it!
And that my friends.. Is how I look at it! The ratings I mean.. Lol :)
Ohh and I'm posting from my iPad, which basically means that some words like for were spelled like "fir" but I'm just going to state my corrections here.
ReplyDeleteI have not been able to read all of today's posts, so I apologize if I have new readers that are actual fans if the show that I may have offended. I just question how new rearders comments are sometimes worded. And again I love and appreciate all of you, and blessed to have such loyal people to this site. I'm always here if you need me! And as always feel free to contact me personally at jonkatefanpage@gmail.com! Xoxo
ger1man27--I agree with BabyMama and Linda, your
ReplyDeletedata = no practical value.
Xoxo Corrina~ miss you sweetie. We haven't been on together in a while. What's going on with Kate on twitter? Is she away for the Kentucky Derby? Apparently the RWA losers were commenting about the new post. How convenient that Kristie posts the numbers on there from Facebook and they magically come over here. They think they're so slick. Like I don't know who they are. ...
ReplyDeleteIM THE ALL POWERFUL OZ!! ;)
Hey OZ! :) --Miss you too! I think I did see something re: Kate and the Kentucky Derby.
ReplyDeleteAs long as there are Kate +8 episodes on, I will watch--the ratings don't matter to me.
Agree with BabyMama and Linda for sure. Frankly I don't give a darn about TV ratings. I watch what I like and don't watch what I don't care for. I happen to enjoy Kate Plus 8 so the ratings don't change or sway my TV watching. It's just like movie reviews. My husband and I have never paid attention to the reviews. We go to the movies because we like the story or like the actors and actresses in it. We have also found that some of the movies that have gotten bad reviews are the ones we liked the most so whether it's TV ratings or Movie ratings I frankly don't care and we watch what we enjoy other people's ratings or reviews don't mean a thing.
ReplyDeleteYeah, like I didn't recognize the name... Wanted to see how far would go.
ReplyDelete----
Charlie Sheen's show got phenomenal ratings but you couldn't pay me to watch.
CMo3 - good point. I don't waste a minute of my life watching something I don't like or waste my time following actors I don't like.

At the vet again with our dog (5th time in 40 days.) He's having a really hard tine with allergies. Poor little guy... He's got food allergies and seasonal allergies. Our pets, for most of us, are like another child. It's so hurtful to see them suffer. Shame they don't have the allergy shots for dogs like they do for people. Can't locate (yet) a vet that's an allergy specialist.

Have a good evening all. :)
Linda I'm having the same problem. Allergies in pets have risen dramatically in the past two years. It's almost & I say almost funny when you are sitting in the vets office because the majority of the pets and owners are in there because their precious pets have severe allergies. The vets admit that they have never in their careers seen anything like this. This is a problem they said all over the country and it's not limited to any particular climates or areas which is why they don't understand. Allergy shampoo doesn't help nor as the Benedryl the vet recommended. Finally have put them on Prednisone for the past two years and it's the only relief they have gotten. The scratching was so bad they had open wounds all over their bodies and massive hair loss, wherever their nails could reach. The same medicine from the vet is extremely expensive especially if you have several pets with the problem so luckily for medical insurance my doctor has kindly prescribed it for me to give to them. Through that I only pay $10 for a six month supply where from the vet it was running $100 a month. I have to take the tabs and cut them into !/4's. Because it is a strong drug & long term use isn't good, I only give it to them every other day & if I can wait longer I do. It's awful to see them suffer with 24/7 scratching so we were left with no choice. I hope you find a solution. The only allergy specialist for pets I've heard of is at the Veterinary Medical school in Colorado and they specialize in special cases.
ReplyDeleteThey do have actually allergy shots but the vets said they don't work on the larger breeds but before my little one passed of old age a year ago she was getting shots during the allergy season which after one shot she was good for the rest of the season. She was a smaller breed though than what we now have. The allergies now are occurring in more and more pets not just seasonally but all year round. There is no answer according to the vets as to why the change and such severity in pets have occurred for the past couple of years.
ReplyDeleteLexxi - He has food allergies (cheese, beef, cereals) so gets chicken and fish. The other is seasonal with sneezing until he gets bloody nose (so can only go out briefly and needs to stay inside mostly.) He doesn't seem to itch.
ReplyDeleteLinda said - Charlie Sheen's show got phenomenal ratings but you couldn't pay me to watch.
ReplyDeleteI concur. Sheen is revolting on so many levels and a pathetic figure. I don't run a blog against him or go around posting against him.
I simply don't watch the show and except for an occassional comment like this one where he comes up in the line of conversation, I ignore his existence.
I am suprised that you guys are having problems finding canine allergists. While Zachary was still living, we had a vet refer us to one, unfortunately the tests were not something we could afford. The one thing that helped us was a hydrocortisone shampoo and spray called Itch Stop from the Drs Foster and Smith website/catalog, its pricy, but it got him from red and raw to pink in days and he was the first dog I have ever had that begged for a bath.
ReplyDeletetashapork - He's suffering from nasal allergies (inhaled pollens) right now & not skin allergies. He sneezes and sneezes and sneezes making a noise like a human asthma attack sounds, although vet says it isn't asthma.
ReplyDeleteThe oak trees here are pumping out that awful pollen faster than storms can wash it away. He needs the pollen de-sensitizing shots like they do for humans. He gets nasal spray and we have a warm humidifier running. When it gets super bad, we sit with him in bathroom with shower running like you do for a child with croup.
Tashapork I agree with you. I've shopped at Drs. Foster and Smith for quite a few years now. Fast delivery and great service. Don't you love it when they beg for a bath? Have one that will jump in the shower and stand there until you give him a bath. They do have a better "attitude" after one too. LOL
ReplyDeleteBabyMama and Linda love the way you put the GWOP hag in her place.
ReplyDeleteI will never understand why they wish for someone they have never met to fail. The worst thing is in doing this they are also hoping that the kids no longer have the life they clearly love. That is truly unbelievable.
Good thing the kids have Kate because she has proven she will provide for them not matter what obstical is thrown her way.
Poor puppy. Our Westie has even been biting her paws. She's our only dog so far without skin allergies. So its bad. CraftyKid's in the midst of a really bad allergy/RRD attack. Poor things miserable.
ReplyDeleteSophia - Hope your grandchild is better.
ReplyDeleteDenise - My condolences and prayers on your loss.
Linda, you poor thing I remember the first time one of the dogs had made that horrible noise at night, we were at the vet first thing in the morning, it was soo scary. A tween nephew who was staying with us made the noise for the vet and he prescribed benedryl. Luckily ours havent had that often and a dose or two of Benedryl has done the trick when they've had it. I never realized it could get that bad. He also had chronic ear infections and I used to wonder if they had tubes for dog ears like they do for kids.
ReplyDeleteCraftymom watch that adorable Westie. Oh how I love Westies. One of mine chews on his paws without stop. He is so miserable. Be careful though and keep an eye on his paws. He had chewed his so bad they were bleeding & he got a bad infection & had to be put on antibiotics. Now I rub in at night and in the morning some cortisone creme and it's been helping him. I don't know who is more miserable, me or them. I feel so bad when they are not feeling good or hurting. Actually the vet told me it was a skin allergy and many just get bothered on their paws because that's where the foreign bodies stick on their paws. Try the cortisone creme craftymom and see if it starts helping. It sure did here.
ReplyDeleteMy baby girl one makes the sound you are describing but I never thought about it being related to her allergies. It's such a very loud raspy sound and it becomes worse at night. I can't help but laugh every night when she comes to lay right next to me, at least I did till I found out from you that it's actually a problem. I thought it was just a quirk as she has sounded like that since we rescued her. I just love her well all of them so much that little things like that don't bother me and it doesn't seem to bother her. I might try though on the real bad night the vaporizer idea. Thank you for the tip. Yes we spoil them and always have. Only one actually sleeps in bed & she has since we rescued her. She was so mistreated and severely abused we were told us it might be the best therapy for her since she was so terrified of people because of the severe abuse. We were told it was the worst abuse case they had ever encountered and when I read her story that was the moment I made up my mind nothing was going to stop me from getting her and by darn we got her. She had been slated to be put to sleep within 30 minutes before getting there because of her extreme fear of people but a lady at the center helped convince the person in charge that we desperately wanted to try and help her. It cost quite a bit of money to treat her injuries that hadn't been treated and not yet healed but as hubby even agreed she was worth every penny. She wouldn't come near us for about 8 months close enough for us to touch her but she would sleep in bed. Strange isn't it? She is still terrified of strangers but she finally learned to trust and love us. Hubby by far the worse spoiler of them. I would encourage everyone to rescue. We have always rescued and everyone of them have been a treasure.
ReplyDeleteYes Lexxi! That's how we know how bad it is because she's the only Westie we've had that hasn't chewed her paws. Cortisone cream is a good idea. I forgot about that. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip of the human cortisone cream, the kinds branded for dogs are expensive, but they were a lifesaver for Zachary, the sad thing is that none of the 5 vets we went to reccommended it, I found it on accident when I was working at Wal Mart helping a customer. To this day I make homemade dog food since we were feeding it for his allergies and the other dogs grew to expect it. I was hoping not to start Pappy on it but he ate from the other dogs bowl, but now he would be devastated if I made him eat kibbles.
ReplyDeleteGood evening/morning everyone! When I heard that the mentally unstable over at RWA were debating on what my "Scent of the day" was I laughed my ass off.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all none of those cosmetically challenged ladies should even be commenting about my appearance no less my scent/cent. Everyone here hopefully knows where I got that from. Because as Elle Woods alwways said.."It's pink..Oh! And it's scented! I think it gives it a little something extra, don't you think?"
SCENT of the day...Acqua di Parma's Blu Mediterraneo..The notes of mandarin & bergamot in this perfume make it pricey but soo worth it..enjoy xoxox
