Why?

Why are the best decisions are always the hardest decisions? I recently decided to move back to where I was living a year ago. I was miserable where I was living and knew I had to go back. I guess you really aren't appreciative of what you got until you see the other side.

I hope that one of these days I get it right. Officially, 2008 and 2009 have been the worst two years of my life.

Decisions, Decisions...

I have came to a major crossroads in my life. I thought once my ex-husband was out of my life that things would get easier. No, I find myself absolutely miserable.

Where do I go from here?

Back from the Abyss...

I am not going to update my life at this moment. What I want to write about is something I just found out. A former friend of mine, who turned her back on me when I hit a rough spot, her son died of cancer recently. He was only 15. I am so angry at her for not letting me know. No matter how angry she is/was at me, she should had let me know.

This is unforgivable.

"But I can't feed on the powerless when my cup is already over-filled..."

News...

Well no news from me but alot of news nationally and well, internationally.

First and foremost, the American captain held captive by Somali pirates was rescued yesterday. He is safe and three of the four animals I mean kidnappers were killed. Good! Less killers out there!

Second, as Arrrrrmando pointed out (he beat me to the news for once!), Josh and Anna Duggar are starting their very own cult AKA Anna is pregnant. They claim they found out on February 2nd but looks as big as a house already. She is probably dropping octuplets too. All of the Duggar men need to be sterilized so we can preserve mankind from them. On their website, www.ja20.com, they write:

"If you have been wondering what the latest news is around the Duggar Family household... we're expecting!!! We found out on February 2, and passed the news to Anna's family that day. The next day we joined Josh's family for a family meeting and surprised them with the announcement! Everyone is very excited and now we are looking forward to finding out the gender of our little one!"

Ugh I feel sick reading that...
If you care enough, you can go to TLC and watch a "webisode" of them telling their family. Blah, blah, blah...

My Easter weekend was, well, eventfull but I won't go into that right now. I hope everyone had a great weekend. I have to catch up on some things and then I'll be back to b!tch some more!haha

Argh, me pirate ship!

Ok this whole Somalian pirate ship ordeal is thoroughly pissing me off. Around the world, the United States and its people our not liked. That's fine because I know we stick our noses where they don't belong and we are pushy as hell. With that said, I find the best way to resolve and prevent situations like these is to stop sending help/aide. I feel so bad for that captain who surrendered to save his crew. This crap is screwed up. The United States needs to learn how to properly prioritize and stop sending aide to Africa and keep it right here where there are children with no homes and going to bed hungry. Get a grip America...

Responsibility...

I feel obligated to write about something but it's hard when absolutely NOTHING is going on. I use to be able to sit and write for hours and now words escape me. What is happening to me?? My OCD says "write something" but everything else says "don't bore people to tears." Geez this is pretty pathetic.

Memories are where you laid them...

Once apon a time, the littlest things in life meant so much to me and made me so happy. Now it seems that very little does it for me. I had a few hours by myself this morning and so I decided that a bath and not a shower would kick ass. Well I was wrong. For about the first minute, I felt relaxed. After that, I sat there thinking that it was such a waste of time to just be sitting there. I sat there for a few more minutes before I thought that if I had took a shower I would have been done and out getting dressed. It's like it is impossible for me to relaxed. Like I am super-hyper and nothing can calm me down. Maybe it's my life I don't know. I don't know if it is the kid in me, the ADD in me, the obsessive-compulsive in me, the anal-retentiveness in me, or something else but I find it impossible to relax. I can hardly even sleep anymore unless medicated. Am I afraid I am going to miss something? I don't know. I really don't. One clue is that for awhile I got out of hard rock and now I am back into pretty heavily and I think that makes me a tad bit hyper too!haha Who knows? I was alway so hyper as a kid through my teenage years. It wore off as I got older, but now it has reared its ugly head again. I guess this is just me. Most people adore me or totally hate me!

As you can guess, it didn't work out with Robert. That's ok. It was just a couple week fling I guess. I know Mr. Right is right around the corner. I was gonna blog about it a couple weeks ago but figured who cared, right?!? I still have a few really good people in my life. Like my Arrrrrrrrrrmando (rolling my r's remember?haha). He is like my little loyal dog (NO YOU AREN'T A DOG; I know he reads this will say "I'M NOT A DOG!"). He is very loyal to me and our friendship and has been for many, many, many years and for that I am forever endebted to him and so appreciative of him and to him. He loves me with all my hyperness and craziness and my hint of paranoia as he says! We are so much alike it's scarey! I tell him he is a male version of me and he says I am the female version of him. I have had MANY, MANY friends come and go and yet he is still here. I even had an old beau look me up and he was like my first love and the whole time Armando kept warning me about this guy and I guess I didn't want to hear it and in the end, everything he told me was true.

Sometimes the obvious stares you right in your face but you neglect to see it for a long time...

The Uneventful Birthday...

Thankfully it was just that! I tried to forget it was here and then it passed! Went to some relatives, went out for dinner, and came back home and had cake. With the help of a few GREAT friends, this one was OK. Thanks everyone!

Happy Birthday to me...Yay!

How come birthdays are so cool when you are younger?? Now they just suck... My birthday is tomorrow. Well I was born at 12:30am; so, I guess it isn't that far away. I know it's just a number but it sucks. Turning 30 sucks... Yes "sucks" is one of my favorite words!haha Thank god for a few special friends who are helping me survive my 30th!!! Nothing like good friends!!

"Hear my name take a good look"

Adult life sucks!! My 30th is looming around the corner and it, too, sucks. I wanna be 17 again! My birthday is Saturday and well yuck. I hope it passes without me noticing! I'm working on a puppy for my birthday. We'll see what happens. I got one present already from Armando he is beyond sweet! He got me the rerelease of TEN. No better present in the world! He knows me too well!!

Well the construction is in its final weeks of my sister's house. THANK GOD!

Well hope everyone has a great weekend!

Good, decent men! Yes they do exist!

I know this because I know the two greatest men in the world! Ofcourse the first is my honey, Robert, and the second is my bestest friend of like 15 years, Armando. Armando and I fall out of touch sometimes but he is the type of friend that I can go 3 or 4 years without talking to but can pick right up where we left off. I can say I've never had another friend like him and I doubt I ever will. We managed pull through our teen years together but with the help of Pearl Jam and other 90's bands!hahaaha Our taste in so many things are very similar. To this day, he and I can sit for hours and talk about music and bands and then we somehow get carried off back to 1996! He gets what I'm talking about when sometimes no one else does. I remember summers of talking to him half the day and night. GOD I WANNA BE 16 AGAIN!! When Pearl Jam put out a new CD we were always first in line to get it (if we hadn't pre-ordered it!haha). I would give my right arm to have those days back. Armando has promised to find a way to travel back in time and he is a friggin' genius and so if there is a way he will find it!!

I just have one question. How did I ever get lucky enough to have two men like these guys in my life?!?!?!

As Armando and I always said when we were younger, Peace, Love, and Pearl Jam!

And as Neil Young and Eddie Vedder said, Keep on Rockin' in the Free World!

Dissolutioned...

As Mr. West said, that doesn't kill me can only make me stronger. I hope he is right. I think I am having some of those severe mood swings again. I am notorious for my mood swings and I feel bad for driving those in my life nuts at times. As I have previously mentioned, I have probably the sweetest man on the face of the earth in my life and I thank god everyday that I have him and he does make me sublimely happy. I guess it is outside influences that put me a little on edge at times.

I'll stop b!tching for a few. I wanna mention that the death of Natasha Richardson is pretty sad. I feel bad for her husband, Liam Neeson, and the rest of her family. Really gotta be careful with blows to the head. When my neices hit their heads like all kids do, I am always sure to watch them closely for awhile to make sure everything is good to go.

Moving on...

On the construction front, things are progressing good. The drywall is all up (laugh as you may honey!) and we are nearing the painting stage. After we paint we have to put the carpet in the living room and then put linoleum in the kitchen and bathroom. I'm hoping to wrap this up in the next couple of weeks.

Well I hope everyone has a good weekend...

Inner-rage where does it come from?

I am ordinarily not an angry person; however, there times I become enraged and not sure why. Sometimes the stupidest things will trigger this and I become enraged for reasons that other people would laugh over. I normally have an extremely long fuse but when I explode, look out. However, every once in awhile I find myself exploding without warning. I hate when I feel the rage welling up inside of me. My family sometimes triggers this but sometimes it's something I see on TV and read somewhere. I mean I have control over it and I'm not picking people off that go by my house. I just wish I never felt it. However, a person gets tired of being walked on. I guess I'm tired of being people's doormat.

Appologizing to those of the male persuasion...

I officially understand that women drive men nuts. Between PMS and daily mood swings, I dont know how or why men even still want women. I've probably got the sweetest man on the face of the earth and I know probably drive him insane at times. Sometimes I don't know myself why I do things I do or act the way I do. I mean I don't run out on him or anything but my mood swings are crazy at times. I just wanna appoligize to all the men out there who are bewildered by women. We mean nothing by it and probably just want some extra attention at times. In the end all we want is a good man to love and to take care of us...

I liked having hurt...

Nah but I love that song! This blog (YES I said blog honey!) should be entitled "Adventures in Cell-Phone Land." Wow have I had an adventure this week. Thankfully my little love-butt has been patient!!! I got a new T-Mobile Dash. I was with Verizon until my ex decided that he was an ass. So T-Mobile is new for me. I ordered the phone through TMI Wireless. First and foremost, I do NOT recommend dealing with them. They screw up alot, i.e. I paid for next day shipping and got 2 day but I did get a refund. However, when I got the new phone it is cooler than shit but it didn't work. It wouldn't connect to the system. I called TMI and got the run around and since all of their employees are of the Arab/Indian persuasion, I became even more enraged when Rhajeesh told me it would 24 hours before they could figure out what was wrong with my phone. Well I took the bull by the horns and called T-Mobile. I talked to an exceptionally nice man he figured out that I am in a dead spot and I when I say dead I MEAN DEAD!! He suggested returning the phone and going with a company who had better coverage in my area. Well Debbie doesn't except no for an answser. I have figured that it is the house where I live. I have reception everywher else. I am keeping the phone because I am moving in a couple of weeks and where I am moving I have checked and I have full signal there. So, against my better judgement and thanks to Robert, I am accepting the situation as it is and taking it day by day and keeping the phone. The phone rocks!

Robert has figured how to do something no one else has ever been able to figure out, how to calm me down!! I think he should be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize! He totally rocks and I am forever indebted to him.

Blogging?!?!?!

I will admit to falling into the blog phenomenon. Five years ago, if you said "blog," someone would have looked at you as if you were speaking martian. Now a days atlmost everyone reads or publishes blogs. I will also admit that at first "blogging" seemed retarded. However, most things I do are a tad bit retarded. I do enjoy blogging occasionally. I don't do it everyday as an obligation but I do it when I find something to talk about. I thought it would be interesting to blog about blogging!hahaha

Someone very important to me says he hates the term blog and everything to do with blogging!! He is so silly!!

The real Debbie...

I know alot of people think I'm some sort of mentally-challenged ditz; however, if you know me and I mean REALLY know me, you know I am not. Sometimes I get into stuff that other people don't. I love reading or watching stuff about true crimes. I love A&E. They keep me supplied with these sort of programs. I know most I see are always about modern day crimes. However, every now and then I stumble across an older story I have yet to hear. I heard one this morning. The story was on A&E about the Clutter family killings in Holcomb, Kansas in 1959. They were truely brutal murders of an entire family, the parents and two teenage children, by two ruthless, emotionless murderers. It is a very long story and i am not gonna explain it all but you can read the entire story on one of my favorite websites, The Trutv Crime Library website. The link to the story is http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/notorious_murders/family/clutter/1.html. The two men convicted of these haneous murders were executed by hanging in 1965. Now, I don't agree with the death penalty even when those convicted admit to being guilty. It's not our right to take someone's life no matter what they did and it's not our job to play god. The story online doesn't go into the actual executions but the show I saw said the the first was hung and it took 22 minutes to die (beyond wrong and cruel and unusual punishment) and the second man had to be drug up the steps to the gallow, begging and pleading for his life. The executioners had no mercy. It took him 17 minutes to die. That shit is friggin' wrong. Don't tell me what they did. I KNOW what they did. But I digress...Truman Capote also wrote a book based on the whole story.

Another older true crime story that I recommend is the Torture Death of Sylvia Marie Likens, http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/notorious_murders/young/likens/1.html. That is truely a sad story. I won't go into that story because it is a bit much to talk about but I suggest reading it.

Well I'll step off of my soapbox now and go find someone else to complain to!! Robert, perhaps?? He always listens to me complain!

Too freakin' funny to pass up!!!

This is freakin' funny!!! Some holy-rollers group is throwing sh!t at "Family Guy." Come on now! That is my favorite show!!!

This is what "Parents Television Council" had to say:

"Fox treated viewers to everything from an ‘eleven-way’ gay orgy to baby Stewie eating a bowl of cereal with horse sperm instead of milk … if that isn’t enough, the show’s leading character is also shown fanaticizing about his wife and moaning while a horse licks his bare behind. Clearly, the explicit content was not isolated to one instance in one segment of the show; it permeated the entire program."

Oh come on get a grip!!!

However, this is Seth McFarlane's respond to the PTC:

"Oh, yeah. That’s like getting hate mail from Hitler. They’re literally terrible human beings. I’ve read their newsletter, I’ve visited their website, and they’re just rotten to the core. For an organization that prides itself on Christian values — I mean, I’m an atheist, so what do I know? — they spend their entire day hating people. They can all suck my d**k as far as I’m concerned."

Haha! He rocks!!! If I had one, I would have told them the same thing!!! The type of prudes who take the time to actually complain about this kind of shit, are the parents who end up visiting their kids in jail when they grow up because they were too busy trying to run everyone elses lives to pay attention to what their on friggin' kids were doin.

Groups like that are dumber than a box or rocks or dumber than a bag of hammers (hahaha!!!).

Cal Ripken Sr Foundation...

I know with today's tough economic times that donating to organizations is not always on everyone's to do list. However, if you are one of those donating kind, I have a good one for you. The Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation, http://www.ripkenfoundation.org/, is a good one. Cal Sr. passed away about 10 years ago and the foundation is ran by Cal Jr. and his brother Billy. If you know baseball, then you know that all three are phenomenal men. Cal Jr. gave so much back to our area during his career and now during his retirement. When I was growing up, Cal Jr. was in his hay day. The names Orioles and Ripken are synonymous with each other. Cal Jr. doesn't live too far from me and is definately one of those local hometown hero types. My brother worshiped him while we were growing up. By chance we were lucky enough to get tickets for a Orioles home game during Cal Jr.'s streak week where he broke Lou Gehrig's conesectutive games played record. Anyway, enough about them. The foundation does really cool stuff with kids like fantasy baseball camps. It is just a really good place to send a few dollars if you ever happen to have a few extra.

More than a name or a face in the crowd...

It's be awhile. I've been busy/preoccupied. Call it what you will. Lazy may even work too. Right honey?!hahaha He'll kill me for that. Anyway...

I've been not feeling that great lately but I hope to snap out of that soon. It's weird how you go through so many slumps in your life. Some you feel are hopeless and it doesn't feel worth going on. However, as I have found, if you give life another opportunity, there is always something or someone waiting to help pull you back up. My life has been so crazy for a long time mainly because of my ex but I'm trying to learn to take everything in stride and not forget that there is a purpose to this existance even if I am not sure what it is yet. I read a story this morning that hit me hard. There was this guy who did a bad thing, accidentally. He took another person's life but accidentally. What he did he was unable to cope with and he commited suicide. I guess he felt what he did no longer made him viable to remain on this earth. So sad...

God what happened to me being so b!tchy?!?!?!

My radar was dead on!!!

Look at what http://www.perezhilton.com/ has posted. Can it really be true? Was I right she is a cold b!tch?!?!

<------------From Perez Hilton--------------->

"In case you haven't head of Jon and Kate Gosselin, they're the stars of TLC's most popular "reality" show, Jon & Kate Plus 8. The couple has one set of twins and one set of sextuplets.
John is the laid-back, quiet, pushover husband, while Kate is the bitchy, controlling, pain-in-the-ass wife. And that's putting it nicely.
Although the couple seem to have a "loving" relationship on the show, that might not really be the case when the cameras are off.
Jon said about filming the show that, “We’re having a good time — a blast," however it looks like he might have been embellishing a bit.
In Touch Weekly is reporting that Jon is spending increasing amounts of time in Huntingdon, Pa., near where his mom lives, three hours away from the home he shares with Kate and their eight children.
And, on February 6th, Jon showed up to a Juniata College house party.
WTF??????
“He walked in with two girls he met at Mimi’s bar,” senior Evan Heisman tells In Touch. “It was so cool.” According to witnesses, Jon played beer pong with some girls on the volleyball team and then joined a group of students who headed to Memories bar for a nightcap. “We were talking and chilling,” reveals Heisman. Jon returned to Memories the next evening. “He was obliterated,” says Pott. “Juniata girls were flirting with him and he was loving it and having a great time.” “We might be getting a divorce,” Chloe Pott, a junior at Juniata College, heard Jon tell her friend at Memories bar on February 7.
Kate is gonna lose her shit!
Wonder if they'll mention any of this on their "reality" show, soon to be titled Jon Plus 8 Minus Kate."

<---------------------------------------------->

A step in the right direction...

Well we are finally becoming less barbaric and getting out of the dark ages. States are starting to rethink the death penalty and Maryland's (where I lived with my ex) state senate voted 34-13 to limit, but not ban, the use of the death penalty. Basically they are going to rethink which crimes deserve the death penalty and create higher standards for prosecutors to seek the death penalty in order to reduce the chances of executing an innocent person.

Sounds like a plan to me. However, I would like to see the death penalty abolished nationwide but I may not see it in my lifetime.

BTW, did anyone watch the new Dog lastnight? Duane Lee was looking dead on lastnight! Break me off a piece of that! JUST KIDDING! I'm not a pervert!

Is it me?

Is it me or are pop tarts getting smaller all the time? Yet the packaging stays the same. WEIRD!

Corporations count on the average US citizen to have some form of retardation and not notice these kinds of things!

The update of all updates!

Hello folks! I know I didn't write too much earlier but as I said I distracted!

Again, it's all good.

If you haven't figured it out, I have met someone. He is totally sweet and totally awesome. I know after my screwed up situation with my soon to be ex I sounded like I would never find a great guy but I have and it's great. I am totally happy!!!

Now moving on!

There has been a bit of a stir up with psycho octo-mom, Nadya Suleman. As you know, Angels in Waiting offered all kinds of help and b!tch refused it because they wouldn't do a friggin' reality show about her and tha babies. Are you friggin' kidding me? Has that b!tch flipped her lid?!?! She is also "blogging" for radaronline.com if you can call what she is doing blogging. They are putting up pdf's of handwritten chicken scratch on legal paper (you know that yellow, lined paper). That isn't blogging it is freaking retarded! I mean are they that desparate for news they put up shit like that?!?!?! Geez! If you are bored, you can go to www.radaronline.com and look for it. Also, they are reporting she and her 14 kids are moving to a 2800 square foot house. I smell money. Errr! I can't stand her!!

I'll stop b!tching for now. I think my new love has softened me a bit!!!

Updates...

None... There you go hahaha

Just living life. I have many distractions right now and it is hard to focus. But it is all good.

We got caught in the recent snow storm and are kinda snowed in. Schools are closed. We haven't even been able to work on my sister's house which is putting us behind schedule. I guess we will get done when we get done. We did get all the tile up last weekend and trust me I'm paying for it. My shoulders and arms hurt! We should be able to get back up there again on Thursday and get some work done.

The b!tch with the kids. Who cares right?!?! I doubt in two months she will have any of her 14 kids.

That's about it.

Ugh...

No I haven't disappeared. I have been sick and just felt like total crap!!! I haven't been able to keep up with the news or anything but I will update tomorrow night if I have time. I have alot to do tomorrow at my sister's house. I guess it is time to get out of bed and back to life...

It's me again...

Yes I am back. I had a free moment so I thought I would come harass the internet a bit. Nothing new with me other than a nasty sinus infection aka Sinusitis. I feel ok just a nasty taste in my mouth and alot of pressure in my sinuses. I'll live. I get these a couple times a year.

Ohhh let's see. The news is pretty lagging right now. Other than Nadya fighting with her mother on video and the new interview scheduled for tonight on Entertainment Tonight (I won't be home to see it because I have to work at my sister's house tonight). I don' care to watch her babble on but I would like to know what is said. I guess I will get the highlights and lowlights tomorrow sometime.

New Jon & Kate Plus 8 was on lastnight. Oh that's right I couldn't care less. New Duggar episode tonight from when they brought home the new baby in Decemember. Again, I could care less.

Moving on to some other entertainment news... I didn't watch the Oscars because I don't care but I saw on the news about that movie "Slumdog" winning all kinds of awards; however, I have never heard of the movie nor did I ever see it advertised. Anyway, umm Nicole Richie is pregnant again. I thought she was some sort of alien but after she got pregnant the first time, she seemed to chill some and seems normal. So maybe she isn't from Mars! It seems like celebrity pregnancies and babies are the big thing in Hollywood now. Weird isn't it? Something that has been done since the dawn of time, having a family, is now popular again. Hey maybe the 1950's are coming back? Wouldn't that be weird? No one cussing or sex on TV or movies. Wow what a concept!

Well I guess that is about it for now. I am gonna get a shower and get ready to go to my sister's house later. Have fun everyone.

Life and the weekend (both suck)...

I am so freakin' tired it isn't funny. I hope this stuff with my sister's house gets done quick. I might not make it through it if it takes much longer. I am so tired and worn out. I get a break today but Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons we have to work up there and Thursday we will work up there all day. The drywall is up in the living room. We are getting it ready for painting now. The whole house inside has to be painted. We are working on getting that old tile up out of the kitchen floor so we can get the new flooring down. The carpets are done upstairs and we will put the carpet down in the living room once the walls are done.

Enough construction talk...

Anything new with NMMOTB? I haven't had a chance to see what Nadya has been up too lately. I heard that the father of the babies now wants to come forward and help or some bullshi... like that. He should pay for them babies along with Nadya and the invitro doctor from hell. Last I checked, Nadya's website, www.thenadyasulemanfamily.com, is fully functional and you can leave comments again. Just don't threaten to kill her or the babies people. The other Nadya-related website which is actually anti-Nadya, www.nadyasuleman.com, seems to be slowing down to a grinding hault. There hasn't been any real updates in several days and the forum doesn't seem to be going so well. If you read through the comments, they are mostly nasty and I don't mean good nasty. To prove my point, I will give you an example. Several posts speak about the father aka the sperm donor and to clean up what people are saying, they are referencing her artificial lips, her boobs, and oral sex. Yuck, right?!?! Anyway, I don't recommend that forum. I just hope whoever is running that webpage starts updating again. I just hope that whoever is maintaining that site doesn't just wait for news or steals news off of other websites. This person should be investigating and finding out information and not waiting for other people to do it for him/her. This person is also using pictures from other news websites. Oh well!! None of my business!!!

Well I guess this it for now. I am gonna go get me a shower in hopes that it will wake me up!!! Take care everyone and I will be back soon!!!

Like Peter Griffin - "You know what really grinds my gears?"

One more thing about that bald bastard, Dr. Phil. What the hell does his stupid wife, Robin, have to do with the show? Why does he walk off with her every episode? Now she has books out. God people are so stupid to fall for their bullcrap. Even his kids have books. Come on what the hell are the rest of us doing wrong? If a goofy @sshole like Dr. Phil can make millions on running his mouth, there is hope for the rest of us @ssholes.

"Well gee my dad is Dr. Phil so I can write a book now! HUH! HUH!"

That really grinds my gears!!!

One more reason why I hate that bald bastard!!!

God!!! Dr. Phil makes me so friggin' mad!!! Everytime I try to leave a comment on his message board about Nadya Suleman, none of my comments are posted!!! They reject everyone. That @sshole is a friggin' jerk. Unless you agree with him, you cannot post on that website. That damn sissy needs to go screw himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY Kids!!!

Remember Binky the Clown from Garfield and Friends?!?!

Anyway, I was beat when we got home lastnight. Lastnight wasn't too bad, though. I mainly worked on finishing up the carpet on the landing. I have one more piece of that gold-colored carpet stripto put right where the stairs meets the floor and the landing will be done.

We went to pick up some padding for the living room carpet this morning and I am going to work up at the house all day tomorrow. My brother is going to be there but my sister has to work. I get today off though! I am looking forward to some relaxation today!

The only real news is that apparently Nadya's house that she shares with her parents is in pre-foreclosure. That sucks for them. Pay the damn payment people. Also, Nadya's official webpage is BACK UP. However, you cannot leave a comment because the link is apparently broken BUT you can still donate!hahaha

Well that is about it for now. Take care everyone!

It's the end of the world as we know and I feel fine...

I hate home construction. I'm tired. I'm sore. I'm frustrated. We get a couple of hours here and there because of my sister's work schedule and it seems like it is taking forever to get the work done. I feel like I have very little life right now. I KNOW I have very little sleep right now.

Anyway, I haven't been able to keep up with the news too much. Hopefully, if I am not too tired tonight after we get back from her house, I will have a chance to b!tch some more about goings on in the world.

I have managed to find an entire website (http://www.nadyasuleman.com/) that is soley dedicated to hating on her. I find that amusing in a sick sort of way. That site also has a forum but I haven't tried it and I am not sure how well it works. I just hope that whoever has the website realizes that Nadya could sue them for deformation or could even demand to be given the domain http://www.nadyasuleman.com/ if she choses to get angry over it. I mean she would have to pay the owner something for the domain. You have to be so careful these days. Today's internet is not the internet of 15 years ago when you could really have fun with people and not get in trouble. I will admit to hacking into people's webpage accounts or email and just change things up a little just to harass someone. Oh what fun! The internet 15 years ago was really fun!! It is hard to believe I have been using the internet for 15 years which was back when it was new and most people didn't/wouldn't use it. Anyway, as I was saying, be careful. Apparently, Nadya's first attempt at a donation site (http://www.thenadyasulemanfamily.com/) has flopped. When you attempt to go to that address all you get is "403 Access Forbidden." Darn, sorry Nadya!haha Hmm...let's see. Oh yes. Nadya's publicist has also dropped her because of an overwhelming amount of death threats. Geez people know how to get a rise out of people don't they?! haha Nah...I don't condone death threats.

I guess that is about it for now. I will try to update some more soon!

It's Monday - Again, YAY...

It's also President's Day...

Moving on...

I am beyond tired. Who would have ever thought doing home renovations would be so tiring. We did manage to get the carpet down in the girls' rooms. We just have a small landing area and a good size closet to finish with the carpet. Then I get to put the carpet strips down. We are running low on help tomorrow. It will just be myself and my sister tomorrow. We are going to work on some drywall in the livingroom. Hopefully, we can get all but the ceiling done in drywall. After about 4pm, we will have additional help from my nephew. So if we don't get it done by tomorrow afternoon, he can come back and help us finish the drywall. Then on Friday, my brother is going to help us drywall the ceiling in the livingroom. After we get all that done, carpet has to be put down in the livingroom. I am not even going to mention the tons of vinyl that has to go down in the back half of the house. We have to get the rest of those dreaded old tiles up before we can do the vinyl. I am getting more tired even thinking about it.

I took my nephew to his 4-H meeting at 7pm. I have to turn around and pick him up at 8:30pm. So I have to leave in a little over a half hour. To be honest, I feel more like going to sleep!!!

On the multiple babies front, I have not kept up with the Sulemans over the weekend. I have no idea what she is up to right now. I think I am too tired to care!

Jon & B!tch Plus 8 has a new episode tonight at 9pm but, frankly, I'd rather watch dog poop harden than to watch that show.

Well take it easy everyone and have a good week...

UPDATE!!!

I just found out a juicy tidbit of information about the Gosselin's new home!!!

The Gosselins bought or acquired (whatever) the house from a Dr. Dominic Commarano who is an ob/gyn at Reading Hospital. Here is the really interesting part. Before she was the b!tch err I mean mom of 8 kids, she received her nursing degree from Reading Hospital and worked at Reading Hospital in labor and delivery. Are you connecting the peices yet? She obviously knew this doctor from her nursing days and they decided to then buy his house. Now think back to the show where they show the kids the house for the first time. Remember Kate talking about filthy the refridgerator was and how nasty where the old freezer was and that the house was so dirty? I hope that this doctor comes back on her so hard. She knew this family that they bought the house from and yet still did not hesitate to run them down on TLC. What a crude b!tch.

I guess the doctor should have had more servants like Kate has. Maybe the house would have been cleaner.

Google is awesome!

Well thanks to Google and some effort, I found the Gosselin's new house! AHA! haha Well as I had guessed, the house was a pretty penny!

The specs on the house:

Bedrooms: 5
Bathrooms: 5 full 2 half
Sq feet: 6200
Built: 1998
Acres: 26
Town: Wernersville, PA
County: Berks
Price: $1,350,000!!!!!!!!!

Evidentally it also has an inground pool. This house and property is HUGE. Kate has certainly come a long ways from the days of bleeding Pennsylvania tax payers dry. Why shouldn't she have to pay back the tax payers? She and Jon seem to hit the jackpot and they wanted everyone to share with them. Now it is time to share the wealth and give back to those who gave to them.

I wasn't going to but...

I was going to not mention Nadya anymore tonight but I can't help it! I found more articles about her recently and I can't keep quiet.

First is this thing were everyone claims she is obsessed with Angelina Jolie and being just like her. Supposedly this includes looks and having a large family. I never found Angelina to be as beautiful as everyone says she is. Something about her huge lips freaks me out. However, if you look at Nadya and Angelina side by side, there is an uncanny similarity.

Second, as I just said, she supposedly wants to look like Angelina Jolie and she supposedly has had massive amounts of plastic surgery.

Third, now I find out she has a nanny to whom she pays $500 a week. $500 a week?! Are you kidding? How is she paying this person if she is living off of student loans and receiving disability for 3 children and food stamps.

Fourth, the father aka sperm donor for all 14 children is a man she met in a night club. She has never had an intimate relationship with him and she claims she hasn't had sex or dated in over 8 years. Woah. This man isn't worth dating or having sex with but he is father material. Scarey.

That's about all the new stuff for now.

Before I go, I wanna know if anyone knows how much Jon & Kate Gosselin's new house/property cost?

Oh those boys are much too much...

I love that commercial!

Moving on...

Good Saturday evening. Everyone around my house is either sick or tired. It is pretty dull. I, myself, is way too tired to really do anything and the fact that we are going back tomorrow afternoon to work on my sister's house is also reminding me to chill for the night.

For those who care, Happy Valentine's Day...

Again, moving on...

The crash of Flight 3407 out of Newark, NJ is pretty crazy. This is 2009 and ice is still bringing down airplanes? I have flown and I am not a big fan of it. I think I'll stick with traveling by car. Anyway, cbsnews.com is running a story talking about those who died in the crash. It is pretty interesting and sad at the same time. I know most people think that I don't have a heart. Well I do. I have just learned not to wear my heart on my sleeve. One victim who stood out to me was a woman Ellyce Kausner who was a student in Flordia was flying home to be her nephew's date at a kindergarten Valentine's Day party on Friday. Talk about guilt that family must feel and will feel forever.

Enough depressing stuff...

There are some Jon & Kate Plus 8 episodes coming on shortly and one is one I haven't seen but I just ate dinner and may not be able to stomach Kate without getting sick. She is a pretty disturbing individual.

"There might be more than you believe..."

Odds N' Ends...

I have been super busy lately! I am currently helping my sister complete a renovation to her house that her former loser boyfriend started but never finished. We worked at her house from about 9:30am - 10:00pm on Friday and we just came back from there to finish a few things this morning before she has to go work. Me and my brother hung some drywall in one of the kids' rooms (we just had to replace one sheet in that room). I finished insulating the living room and we have to put drywall up in the entire living room this coming week. My sister has the daunting task of ripping out the old tile in her kitchen to make way for her new flooring. We still have carpet to put down in the girls' rooms. I fixed an outlet in one of the girls' rooms this morning and we moved some carpet around. I think I am going to take a break today! I believe we are going up tomorrow afternoon to put some carpet down and work on that hateful kitchen floor. I hope I live through this!!!

I just wanted to touch on that I finally forced myself to sit down and watch the interview that NBC did with Nadya Suleman, it was being reaired on MSNBC. That interview was disgusting. That woman is such a ditz!!! She talks like she doesn't have the brains she was born with!!!

All of my favorite people all together!!

Dr. Phil (who I loathe) had a show about N-M-M-O-T-B (new multiple mom on the block), Nadya Suleman, AND to top it off he had Kate Gosselin on his show. That was nearly too much for my central nervous system to handle. My body nearly shut down. I also loathe Kate Gosselin. Ok I'm lying. I HATE Kate Gosselin aka The Bossiest B!tch of the East. Of course, Dr. Quack I mean Phil thinks everyone should help Nadya. Have you lost your flippin' bald lid? Help her? I'm not sure I would even pee on her if she was on fire let alone give her money. My god what is wrong with people. I attempted to leave a comment on Dr. Phil's message board but they never put it up so either they are slow or denied my comment. Oh well! Screw 'em! Anyone who thinks we should help Nadya Suleman can go screw themselves!

Justice may be on the way!

Finally!!! America is awake!!! That b!tch, Nadya Suleman, is being slammed everywhere!!! It is a good feeling to know that people are NOT falling for her crap!

Here is a copy of a story that cbsnews.com posted:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/02/12/national/main4795528.shtml?tag=topHome;topStories

(AP) A big share of the financial burden of raising Nadya Suleman's 14 children could fall on the shoulders of California's taxpayers, compounding the public furor in a state already billions of dollars in the red.

Even before the 33-year-old single, unemployed mother gave birth to octuplets last month, she had been caring for her six other children with the help of $490 a month in food stamps, plus Social Security disability payments for three of the youngsters. The public aid will almost certainly be increased with the new additions to her family.

Also, the hospital where the octuplets are expected to spend seven to 12 weeks has requested reimbursement from Medi-Cal, the state's Medicaid program, for care of the premature babies, according to the Los Angeles Times. The cost has not been disclosed.

Word of the public assistance has stoked the furor over Suleman's decision to have so many children by having embryos implanted in her womb.

"It appears that, in the case of the Suleman family, raising 14 children takes not simply a village but the combined resources of the county, state and federal governments," Los Angeles Times columnist Tim Rutten wrote in Wednesday's paper. He called Suleman's story "grotesque."

On the Internet, bloggers rained insults on Suleman, calling her an "idiot," criticizing her decision to have more children when she couldn't afford the ones she had, and suggesting she be sterilized.

"It's my opinion that a woman's right to reproduce should be limited to a number which the parents can pay for," Charles Murray wrote in a letter to the Los Angeles Daily News. "Why should my wife and I, as taxpayers, pay child support for 14 Suleman kids?"

She was also berated on talk radio, where listeners accused her of manipulating the system and being an irresponsible mother.

"From the outside you can tell that this woman was playing the system," host Bryan Suits said on the "Kennedy and Suits" show on KFI-AM. "You're damn right the state should step in and seize the kids and adopt them out."

A call to Suleman's publicist Mike Furtney was not immediately returned.

In her only media interviews, Suleman told NBC's "Today" she doesn't consider the public assistance she receives to be welfare and doesn't intend to remain on it for long.

Also, a Nadya Suleman Family Web Site has been set up to collect donations for the children. It features pictures of the mother and each octuplet and has instructions for making donations by check or credit card.

Suleman, whose six older children range in age from 2 to 7, said three of them receive disability payments. She said one is autistic, but she has not disclosed the other youngsters' disabilities, and refused to say how much they get in payments.

In California, a low-income family can receive Social Security payments of up to $793 a month for each disabled child. Three children would amount to $2,379.

The Suleman octuplets' medical costs have not been disclosed, but in 2006, the average cost for a premature baby's hospital stay in California was $164,273, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The average cost for just one cesarean birth in 2006 was $22,762 in California. Eight times that equals $1.3 million.

For a single mother, the cost of raising 14 children through age 17 ranges from $1.3 million to $2.7 million, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is struggling to close a $42 billion budget gap by cutting services, declined through a spokesman to comment on the taxpayer costs associated with the octuplets' delivery and care.

Suleman received disability payments for an on-the-job back injury during a riot at a state mental hospital, collecting more than $165,000 over nearly a decade before the benefits were discontinued last year.

Some of the disability money was spent on in vitro fertilizations, which was used for all 14 of her children, Suleman said. Suleman said she also worked double shifts at the mental hospital and saved up for the treatments. She estimated that all her treatments cost $100,000.

A dozen states, including California, have laws requiring insurance companies to cover infertility treatment, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. But California does not require insurers to cover in vitro procedures. It's not clear what type of coverage Suleman has.

In the NBC interview, Suleman said she will go back to California State University, Fullerton in the fall to complete her master's degree in counseling, and will use student loans to support her children. She said she will rely on the school's daycare center and volunteers.

That story really makes me feel like I haven't been screaming at the top of my lungs for nothing!!!

Cops vs Criminals - Who are the real bad guys?

Ok. We have all had our run-ins with the law at some point or another whether it is being witness to an accident or getting a speeding ticket. Admit it, we've all been there. Well I was watching "The First 48" on A&E. Those detectives make me so sick on there. I know they are doing their job and providing a service of finding out who murdered people; however, when they are interviewing witnesses and suspects, they want you to believe that they are your friend. There is not one friggin' cop in this world that is your friend. I have absolutely zero respect for cops and in some instances even the law because most cops are dirtier than the so-called criminals and the law only seems to apply to certain people. I have a brother and an uncle who works for the state police and another uncle who is retired from the state police and that doesn't change anything. I still hate cops. ALL COPS. From your Barney Fife town cops to Boss Hogg the ones in charge. Police are all worthless and we might as well just take our tax money and flush it down the toilet as to pay cops. Now I know why Ice T was so angry with the cops. COPS SUCK AND THEY ARE ALL PIGS. I appologize to all pigs out there for comparing you with cops. I know that was inappropriate. I think the United States should declare Marshall Law...

Just a little more gasoline...

More dish on Nadya. Woohoo! Food Stamps and disability payments!

Article from the LA Times:

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedishrag/2009/02/nadya-sulemans.html

Nadya Suleman's website takes PayPal donations! Duh.
Feel sorry for Nadya Suleman, the new mother of eight premature babies?

The Nadya Suleman who has given birth to 14 kids through in vitro treatments, who receives food stamps and whose three older children get disability payments?

The Nadya Suleman who wanted to sell her story for $2 million and who sought a TV gig as a mothering expert? Who also has $50,000 in student loans?

The woman who appears to have had expensive plastic surgery on her nose and lips to look more like Angelina Jolie?

That Nadya Suleman?

Since that TV deal hasn't happened, she’s now launched a website where you can leave messages and even donate money and items for her babies.


The website has a a baby theme, with rainbows, hearts and spelling blocks, and it displays photos of all the babies, who range in weight from 1 to 2 pounds. There's also one shot of of Suleman (from her NBC appearance) with the caption: "Proud Mother of 14."


Naturally, the homepage has links to a message board and (ta-da!) a payment page.


And yes, she takes PayPal. Like you had to ask.


The woman has no shame....

********************************

I just want to add that if you choose to visit the website that article came from that there are some really harsh comments on there. I don't care about Nadya but these babies are innocent victims of a capitalist society. As mean as I am, babies are not fair game. One person said the babies are ugly. That's wrong dude. Learn to criticize the right people not those who cannot defend themselves.

Adding fuel to the freakin' fire!!!

While digging through Craig's List tonight, I found out something very interesting!!! Our new multiple mom on the block, Nadya Suleman, has her own website now!!! Guess what folks, if you haven't already! She is taking donations!!! WOW I AM STUNNED!!! I would have never thought she would be taking donations!!! YEAH RIGHT!!! I saw through this b!tch long before she started asking for donations!!! The whole page is set up for taking donations. There are pictures of each of the babies and one of Nadya but that is it as far as information. The rest of the page is about gettin' some money for momma!!! Oh come on!!! Every link on the page but two is for making a donation. She even has her publicist's contact information so that people can send her stuff.

I am going to say this loud. ANYONE WHO SENDS THIS MEDIA WHORE AS MUCH AS A PENNY OR A STUFFED ANIMAL IS A FRIGGIN' MORON AND SHOULD SAVE THEIR MONEY TO PAY FOR A MRI. I HOPE NO ONE IS STUPID ENOUGH TO SEND HER ANYTHING!!!

For fun, her website address - http://www.thenadyasulemanfamily.com/. She has two places to send her comments. I emplure each and every one of you to send her a comment and I mean real comments!!!

What people are afraid to say...

To expand on what I touched on during my previous blog, the saga of 9-11 survivors and families of those who died. Don't get me wrong. I am not a cold-hearted b!tch but I am a realist and the reality is that it was nearly 8 years ago and it's time to move on. Every September they read all the names of the deceased and have a big celebration. That's fine but when is it time to stop? These families are still collecting off of what happened and I am not saying they don't deserve something for what happened but, again, when does it stop? The whole 9-11 incident is two people's faults, George W. Bush and Condeleeza Rice. They both were well informed about it prior to it happening. Take it out of their asses and not the tax payer's. In my personal opinion, it was war propaganda. George W. Bush was digging and digging to find a reason to go war with Suddam Hussein and he certainly had one handed to him didn't he? Not to mention that Hussein's execution was ILLEGAL and George W. Bush should have been charged with war crimes because of his execution. If my memory serves me right, according to the United Nations, it is illegal to hand a captive over to the his/her enemy. However, we can just add that to the list of things George W. Bush got away with during his reign of terror. Before you bash me and say I am sticking up for Hussein, NO I AM NOT. He was a bastard but Bush had a responsibility to comply with the law as much as anyone. Sorry, I got side-tracked. As I was saying, it is time to move on and stop the profiting from disaster. We, the tax payers, need to learn to say "NO!"

I HATE the news...

I do officially hate the news. No, I don't mean the news but those who report the news and the shows who broadcast the news. They dwell on things that happen and make something that should be reported and people move on to long, drawn-out specticles. For instance, "Miracle on the Hudson." Great, grand! The pilot did his job and prevented many people from dying. So now what? Oh I know! Let's talk about it for the next 5 years! Not a week after the incident that bastard Dr. Phil (who I hate with a passion and would love to smack his bald head), had some survivors on his show and he was talking about the impact on their lives. I hate to be ignorant but come on!!! Move on people!!! I mean 50 years ago when something dramatic happened, it happened and people went on abut their lives. If I recall correctly, survivors and relatives of the deceased of the Oaklahoma Bombing didn't go on like people now days do. When something happens today, people see dollar signs. People hit the talk show circuit and then collect off of the government because they are too traumatized to work and for some reason it should be the government's, i.e. the tax payer's, responsibility to take care of them. HOGWASH! Get a job and get a life. Look at what a loss of tax payer's money was spent on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. We will be taking care of those people for the next 30 years. Not to mention that most of them we were ALREADY being taken care of by the tax payers before the hurricane through welfare. This crap makes me so freaking mad!!!! No one believes in making a living today through honest, hard work because it is easier to milk the system or easier to rip someone off.

GET A GRIP AMERICA!!!

It's Not My Time...

Looking back at the beginning of this
And how life was
Just you and me and love and all of our friends
Living life like an ocean

But now the current's only pulling me down
It's getting harder to breathe
It won't be too long and I'll be going under
Can you save me from this?

'Cause it's not my time, I'm not going
There's a fear in me and it's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know, ooh, but I won't go

I look ahead to all the plans that we made
And the dreams that we had
I'm in a world that tries to take them away
Oh, but I'm taking them back

'Cause all this time I've just been too blind to understand
What should matter to me
My friend, this life we live, it's not what we have
It's what we believe in

It's not my time, I'm not going
There's a fear in me, it's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know

But it's not my time, I'm not going
There's a will in me and now I know that
This could be the end of me
And everything I know, ooh, but I won't go!
I won't go!

There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
And there might be more than you can see

But it's not my time, I'm not going
There's a fear in me, it's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
But it's not my time, I'm not going
There's a will in me and now it's gonna show
This could be the end of me
And everything I know

There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
And there might be more than you can see
But I won't go, oh no I won't go down, yeah

Scarey Families...

Kate & Jon Gosselin






Nadya Suleman & her Octuplets (sorry, I couldn't resist!)

A true redneck outting...

Where I live, rednecks are common. Hell I freely admit to being one myself! Say or think what you will but I am one and not afraid to say it!! One thing about me, I could care less what anyone thinks about me. Also, I figure if I am fair-game for your ridicule mill, then so are you for mine!!! I don't try to hurt anyone's feelings UNLESS you deserve it!!! Like Kate Gosselin for instance but you can read previous posts to see what that is all about!!

Anyway to make a long story even longer, yesterday I went with my sister to help pick out some flooring for her house. Our nephew also went with us and he is a major redneck too. Well after we left the flooring place, we noticed that the "Goodwill" store was open. I had never been in one and was curious as to what it was like inside. Well we went in! That whole store is like a flashback to the 70's and 80's! My sister bought a end table for next to nothing and it was actually in really good shape, a teddy bear which was identical to one she had when she was a kids about 25 years ago (she gave it to her two girls), a computer chair (which was almost new), and she bought two sweatshirts for my nephew to put on his goats when it is cold outside. Scarey purchases... The most fun part of the trip was me pushing the computer chair through the store with the teddy bear sitting in the chair (it is a big bear). It was a site to behold. After we paid for it, I was not embarassed to push that chair with the bear sitting in it through the parking lot. I thought my sister and nephew were gonna die watching me. They were laughing hysterically. When we got home, I pushed my nephew up the driveway in the computer chair. This is kind of a snooty area and it is so much fun to do something totally off-the-wall sometimes. That's why you don't put rednecks where people build nice, new homes!!!

And, yes class, that was my redneck weekend!!!

Dropping the bomb on them...

I just KNEW that there was something up with our favorite reality family, The Gosselins. I did some research and as I had surmised, they are freaking conartists. I hate those people!!! They have been milking the systems since day one!!! I found some articles from a little after the babies were born and these @ssholes were pleading for the State of Pennsylvania to help them.

First article...

State asked to extend care for sextuplets

Kate I. Gosselin says she would be unable to tend to the needs of the six 1-year-olds and their two 4-year-old sisters without the continued help of a nurse.

By Erin Negley Reading Eagle

Kate I. Gosselin pleaded Thursday for the state Department of Public Welfare to maintain funding for a nurse who helps care for her 1-year-old sextuplets.
Gosselin of Wyomissing fears for the health of her family, which also includes 4-year-old twin daughters, if Medicaid cuts off payments for licensed practical nurse Angie S. Krall.

“She is my other set of medical eyes and ears,” Gosselin told Lisa Neeper, an administrative law judge, during a 90-minute hearing at the State Office Building in Reading.

The hearing was held after Gosselin and her husband, Jonathan K., appealed the Welfare Department's decision to end funding for the nurse.

The state wants to replace Krall with a home-health aide who would help care for the children part time for one month. The Gosselins then would be on their own.

Neeper said she would rule on the appeal by late July.

Kate Gosselin, who attended the hearing with her eight children and Krall, argued the family's case, while a medical consultant and caseworker appeared for the state.

The Welfare Department would not release names of the consultant or caseworker. The Reading Eagle was allowed to attend the hearing only because the Gosselins gave their approval.

Kate Gosselin is a registered nurse. But she said she's too busy caring for the sextuplets and twins and running a household to spend enough time with each child to spot all of their individual needs.

Jonathan Gosselin works in Harrisburg and is gone 12 hours a day.

Kate Gosselin wiped tears while saying that Krall has noticed diaper rashes, fevers and even pneumonia in the children.

If the switch to a home-health aide is made, Kate Gosselin fears she would need a long time to find the right worker.

In the meantime, she said, “It's me with eight children, which is not fair.”

Because the sextuplets were born about nine weeks early, Medicaid paid for Krall to spend 30 hours a week at the Gosselins' Wyomissing home.

The funding period ended April 30, but Krall will continue to assist the family until Neeper rules on the appeal.

The amount Medicaid has paid was unavailable, but Kate Gosselin has said it would cost about $25,000 to pay for Krall's services for another year.

The state's medical consultant testified that Krall bathes and feeds the infants, changes diapers and cleans their surroundings. A daily vitamin is the only medicine the infants take.

“I could find no medical need to have a skilled nurse in the house,” he said. “What the Gosselins need is someone to stay with mom and dad.”

While two of the sextuplets, Collin and Alexis, receive physical therapy through Easter Seals, the four other babies are progressing normally, the consultant said.

“My heart goes out to the Gosselins because I'm a father of three, but the medical necessity is lacking here,” he said. “What is needed are child-care workers.”

If the Gosselins don't agree with Neeper's ruling, they could appeal to Commonwealth Court or to the Department of Public Welfare secretary, said Thomas E. Cheffins, department director for the bureau of hearings and appeals.

Eight is enough
By Dimitri Vassilaros
TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Sunday, May 15, 2005

Kate and Jonathan Gosselin want you to pretend that their sextuplets are disabled.
If you play along, they can keep the free nurse provided by Medicaid to help raise the six 1-year-olds and the Gosselins' 4-year-old twin daughters in their Berks County home. Mom and Dad will plead their case at a hearing on Thursday.

Does it really take a commonwealth to raise a child? Or eight?

Surely it is a daunting task for Kate even without Jonathan's 90-minute commute to his new job in the Governor's Office in Harrisburg.

"Every morning I ask the Lord for the strength to try to remain calm," Kate said.

As a registered nurse, however, she knew the risks of fertility drugs. Gosselin did not regret the decision after she was told about her six babies. Nor for opposing the "selective reduction" that sometimes is performed in multi-fetal pregnancies to lessen potential risk to the mother and the surviving fetuses.

But if Kate had had a crystal ball, would she have taken the fertility drugs?

"If I could have looked into the future, I would not have done it," she admitted.

The two parents have more kids than they can handle. Volunteers have helped, some, but nowhere near enough, she said. The taxpayers are helping by providing health coverage, but the Gosselins want much more.

They qualify for state health insurance -- barely. Jonathan makes about $50 per month below the maximum annual household income, said Kate. She does not have an outside job.

For a family of 10, the max is $38,910, according to the Department of Public Welfare.

But the need for special services such as a nurse is not based on income. The state's first question was whether the Gosselin children qualify medically. "The answer is 'no,' so you do not get it," Kate said.

The little ones' good health was her bad luck. Go figure.

"I am urging them to see us as a rare situation, which we are," she said. "And I am begging them to make a special exception. They are six individuals. One mom cannot take care of them.

"I might be able to meet their physical needs, but not the emotional needs. It is very difficult. I'm talking about time to talk about feelings, read books and the absolute bare necessities to get done. I cannot do it five days a week."

The county assessed the Gosselins' property at $142,800 in 1993. Kate thinks the four-bedroom, 2,100 square foot home has a market value of $250,000. They have two vehicles, but no garage, she added.

Why not take advantage of the approximate $100,000 in home equity Kate says they have in it? Why not sell it and buy a bigger one (she would like about 3,500 square feet) in a less affluent neighborhood?

They had been considering a move, but it has not been a high priority because of eight good reasons, she said.

However, keeping the free nurse is a priority. "I understand that there is no medical necessity," Kate said. "But I hope they see my need. There is nothing set up for someone in our situation. I hope I can hang on to the person that I have."

The Gosselins called the day after my telephone interview with Kate. They asked to preview this column before publication. My editor declined their request. Kate then said she wanted to retract everything -- even though she admitted all of it was true.

"People are out to make us look bad," she said.

What a b!tch. I have read other articles where she rejected free furniture for when the babies were infants because they were ugly or didn't match the room. This woman needs a dose of reality. I have heard that their new house was paid for by their show. These people make me sick. However what makes me the most sick is the fact that so many well-meaning, caring people still donate to them and fall for their lies. They make me sick. They are so ungrateful.

However, I am not done!!!

I want to post a copy of the article about new multiple mom on the block, Nadya Suleman. She sounds like quite a bird too!!!

(AP) Angela Suleman is caring for the six older children while her daughter is hospitalized after giving birth Jan. 26 to the octuplets.

"She already has six beautiful children, why would she do this?" Angela Suleman said in the videotaped interview with celebrity news Web site RadarOnline.com. "I'm struggling to look after her six. We had to put in bunk beds, feed them in shifts and there's children's clothing piled all over the house."

The Web site posted photographs from inside Angela Suleman's disheveled three-bedroom home, where Nadya and her brood also live. Heaps of clothing pour from an open closet door and a carpeted bedroom, where a bedsheet serves as a curtain, is cluttered with cribs.

Nadya Suleman's publicist Mike Furtney said that his client has been away for nearly two months, so shouldn't be held responsible for the home's current condition.

Furtney said his client planned to move into a larger home once the octuplets were healthy enough to leave doctors' care.

He declined to comment on any of the remarks Angela Suleman made about her daughter in the interview.

"Those are very personal issues between a mother and a daughter," he said.

Angela Suleman said Nadya's boyfriend was the biological father of all 14 children, but that she refused to marry him.

"He was in love with her and wanted to marry her," she said. "But Nadya wanted to have children on her own." Nadya Suleman, a divorced single mother, told NBC's "Today" show that the same fertility specialist provided in-vitro fertilization for all 14 of her children.

Angela Suleman seemed to contradict that account, saying the fertility specialist who helped her daughter give birth to the octuplets was a different doctor from the one who aided in the birth of her first six children.

Angela Suleman said she and her husband pleaded with Nadya's first fertility doctor not to treat their daughter again, so Nadya found another doctor to work with.

"I'm really angry about that," Angela Suleman said of the doctor's decision to perform the procedure.

A Medical Board of California spokeswoman said Friday that it was investigating the doctor — who has not been identified — to see if there was a "violation of the standard of care." The spokeswoman did not elaborate on the nature of the potential violations.

Angela Suleman also challenged her daughter's remarks in the NBC interview that she always wanted a large family to make up for the loneliness she felt as an only child.

"We raised her in a loving family and her father always spoiled her," Angela said.

(CBS/AP) The mother of newborn octuplets and six other children collected almost $168,000 in state disability payments for an on-the-job back injury that she and a doctor said was worsened by pregnancy, according to state documents released Thursday.

Nadya Suleman, 33, became pregnant with all 14 of her children after a 1999 injury during a riot at a state mental hospital where she worked, state Division of Workers' Compensation documents show.

She stopped working, but had the six older children during that time, notes Early Show correspondent Hattie Kauffman.

"There has to be some question," says CBS News Legal Analyst Trent Copeland, "about whether or not a woman who's disabled and collecting over $150,000 worth of disability payments is really authorized to receive those payments if she's too disabled to work, but not too disabled to have at least a half-dozen children."

There were also mental health issues, Kauffman reports. Suleman was labeled as being at some risk for suicide, and diagnosed with a "depressive disorder."

The octuplets' birth last week and subsequent disclosure that Suleman is a single mother who already had six children - all by in-vitro fertilization - prompted a torrent of criticism and ethical questions about why she would want so many children, why a doctor would implant that many embryos and how she would care for her family.

Suleman was released from the hospital Thursday, but didn't return to her Whittier, Calif. home.

Instead, says Kauffman, she immediately sat down for her first media interview, telling NBC News she tried for seven years to have a baby and, after the first IVF was successful, she "kept going in."

NBC News says it didn't pay for the interview, but her spokesman, Mike Furtney, made it clear to Kauffman that Suleman hopes to make money from her story. "What we'd like to see her wind up with is the means to raise her 14 children in the way that she wants to do that," Furtney said.

Furtney also told Kauffman that Suleman would like to return to school some day and receive a degree in counseling.

Meanwhile, the eight infants continue to make progress in the hospital, Kauffman adds.

Suleman was an employee of Metropolitan State Hospital in Norwalk, Calif., from 1997 until December, when she resigned the position. Records show that for much of that time she was unable to work because of her injuries.

The documents reveal much about the mother's past, including a doctor's claim that she had three miscarriages before she had her first child, the mental anguish she endured from those failed pregnancies and the elation she felt after the first birth.

Suleman was injured at the hospital on Sept. 18, 1999, while helping restrain a patient as about 20 others wreaked havoc at the mental hospital. One of the unruly patients flipped a heavy desk that struck Suleman in the back. The injury caused her pain in her back and lower body and caused disc protrusions in three levels of her lumbar spine.

Suleman took Celebrex, an anti-inflammatory drug, and Darvocet, a pain medication, for the injury.

She went back to work almost immediately after she was injured, but the pain grew and traveled down her leg and she began to experience numbness in her right foot, the documents state. Two months later, she was back on disability.

In the months after her injury, orthopedists recommended back surgery and injections of steroids into her lower back. But Suleman didn't want to undergo the treatments, saying the surgery seemed too risky. At one point, she rejected to have X-rays taken because she feared they would interfere with her fertility treatments.

"The patient is reluctant to have surgery. She desperately needs surgery," orthopedist Dr. Daniel Capen wrote in February 2000.

Before her injury, Suleman worked the graveyard shift as a psychiatric technician in the adolescent boys' ward. She told doctors she loved the work.

During a hearing on her case in December 2001, Suleman said the pregnancy aggravated her back condition. She said she spent most of the day in bed and was unable to care for her first child, according to a report by workers' compensation judge Jerome Bulavsky.

After examining her in August, Dr. Steven Nagelberg attributed 90 percent of her condition to the work incident and 10 percent to her pregnancy.

Furtney said he could not comment until he and Suleman's lawyer had seen the document.

The records include medical and psychological reports, as well as biographical information that sheds light on her background, which has been a public mystery before Thursday when the records were released and she left the hospital and gave her first interview.

Suleman and NBC News that, as an only child, she "longed for certain connections and attachments with another person that I, I really lacked, I believe, growing up."

When Suleman learned that she was pregnant with what would become her first child, she had feared she would lose the child and sunk into an intense depression, according to a psychological evaluation in her workers' compensation case.

"When you have a history of miscarriages, you think it will take a miracle," she told Dr. Dennis Nehamen. "I just wanted to die. I suspected I was pregnant but I thought, 'That's ridiculous."

But the birth of the baby "helped my spirits," she said. Suleman's hopes also rose that her marriage would be improved by the baby.

Suleman was married to Marcos Gutierrez in 1996, and the couple separated in 2000 but remained friendly, according to the documents. Gutierrez filed for the divorce, which was finalized in January 2008. His residence is unknown.

She told psychiatric evaluators that her marriage was great before the injury, but later as her back injury worsened and she descended into depression, she felt she had little to offer him.

"I don't want to keep bringing him down. I want him to move on with his life," she told Dr. Alfred Bloch, according to a 2001 report.
