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!!!

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!!!
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/02/09/earlyshow/health/main4785041.shtml
(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.
Wow! This b!tch is as dillusional as Kate Gosselin!!! She is on disability and has 14 children? She PAID to conceive the last eight!!! My god!! Wake up America!

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.

Let's call it what it is "Kate Plus 8!"
If you have been asleep, then you would not know the show on TLC "Jon & Kate Plus 8." To fill you in (I appologize to those who know who I am referring to), they are a couple who had twin girls and then four years later, had sextuplets and now they have a reality show on TLC. Ok, enough of that. To make a long story short, KATE IS A B!TCH!!! I mean Jon doesn't get a word in ever. She makes all the decisions and Jon sits back and takes and lets her run the show. I don't know why he is even in the show. Other than being the sperm donor, I am not sure what contribution he makes. Well he does work and she gets to stay home but she stills makes all the financial decisions. She makes me sick.
Also, what the hell is up with her hair??? Is that what she was going for when she got her hair done? Get a mirror lady...Edward Scissor-Hands could do a better job than that.

What the Discovery Channel and I have in common?
We're both running out of ideas...
I'm running out of ideas to talk about (not really just blank at this moment) and the Discovery Channel is running out of ideas to air shows about. Up next..."JOCKEYS!" WHO FLIPPIN' CARES?!?! I love the Discovery Channel and alot of what they air I enjoy watching but I think they are getting desperate. Oh well.
To reiterate my point I made earlier about Duane Lee Chapman Jr. rockin', I submit:
Article A
Jr. is about a 8/10.
He is a perfect example of "my type." Atleast when it comes to appearance. He big, tall, and able to kill a man with his hands (I'm kidding, I swear!). I am short, 5'3 on a good day and 5'2 when I go to the doctor. I have always had a thing for big and tall guys. Now I don't mean blubbery fat but just big and solid. My ex was 6'4 and weighed about 280. I know I will find the perfect man someday!!!
"The rollercoaster rides a lonely one
I pay the ransom note to stop it from steaming
Hey, what are you looking at?
She was a teenage girl when she met me"

Miscellaneous...
Hey look I didn't abbreviate it as "misc." Haha...nevermind. This post is about nothing. I am bored and watching "The First 48" and they are looking for some dude named "Cheeseburger." Hmmm...That says it all.
Anyway, I just want to ramble folks.
I forgot to mention that I noticed for the first time while watching "Dog The Bounty Hunter" that Dog's son, Duane Lee Jr., is pretty good lookin'. Don't ask why I JUST noticed this after watching that show for a long time. Who knows.
No. I don't plan on watching the Grammys. I knew you were going to ask. Most of today's music suck.
I'll admit that I hate men because I have been burned by every man I have ever come within a 25 mile radius of. However, in the same instance, I love men. What's a girl to do? My ex is a bastard who is still attached to his mom by the umbilical cord (is that how you spell it oh who cares). Maybe I'll get lucky and find a man who's mother dropped off the face of the earth. However, the guy before my most recent ex, his mother was dead long before I met him but he was such a wimp it isn't even funny. Oh well don't worry I'll find someone.
Everyone tells me that I don't need a man. True. I do not NEED a man. However, I like having one!!!
Well I guess that is it for now. I'll be back later. Gotta take care of some crap!!!

Turn our golden faces into the sun

Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever"

The Big Bad Dog?
I must confess that I watch "Dog The Bounty Hunter." It is entertaining. At first, I thought it was a freak show but once you get past their appearance, you realize that they are pretty decent people. I know he said crap to his son but it is no one's business. It was between his son and himself and not for public display. I think his son was a bastard for releasing that tape. Anyhow, like I said, once you get past their exterior they are somewhat normal (minus their horrific use of the English language and the fact that Dog ACTUALLY wants his hair to look like that and Beth has built-in life preservers).
I watched the new episode tonight. I was expecting some huge spectacular or something but to my dismay, it was just an average show. Atleast there will be new shows to intermingle in with the numerous reruns that A&E shows every Wednesday!

The Duggars...YIKES!!!
Something about the Duggar clan totally creeps me out. However, there is one main Duggar that I do not, 100% like, JIM-BOB DUGGAR!!! Jim-Bob is a combination of a tv evangelist, used car salesman, and Jim Jones. I simply do NOT like that man. He is like the friggin' anti-christ or something. I feel so bad for his wife and children. Now you may think but they live good with a huge house and just about anything money can buy. HOWEVER, money doesn't buy happiness. I don't think Hitler ran a tighter boat than Jim Jones err I mean Jim-Bob. If you like them, knock yourself out and don't bother telling me how horrible of a person I am for picking on this family. You know when they allowed TLC along with the ENTIRE UNITED STATES into their house, they opened the door for criticism. Don't put yourself out there if you can't take it. If you bothered to watch the wedding of Jim Jones Jr. err Josh and Anna Duggar, when Jim-Bob had to take over at the end of the ceremoney to pronounce them man and wife and for Josh to kiss Anna, I about threw the damn TV through the window. Who the hell is he??? What did he have to do with the price of eggs in China??? I mean come on Jim-Bob GET OVER YOURSELF!!!. Geez I hate that man. He tries to come off so nice but I see right through that bastard. He is running a friggin' cult. He is David Coresh disguised as Ned Flanders. COME ON!!! Also during the show about the wedding, Jim-Bob kept speaking about all the "dating mistakes" sinner Michelle made before they got married. I guess Jim-Bob is perfect. He is a perfect peice of shit!!! The show would be interesting IF Jim-Bob would GET LOST!!!
Throughout watching way too many shows about the Duggars, I have made some observations about some of the Duggar clan:
Jim-Bob - I think I have established by now that I HATE Jim-Bob Duggar.
Michelle - She seems like a nice, pleasant but totally brainwashed and misguided person. I hate what Jim-Bob has done to her.
Josh - Jim-Bob Jr. How disgusting. I feel so bad for his new wife. NOTE TO ANNA KELLER - GET OUT NOW BEFORE YOU HAVE 10,000 KIDS!!!
Jana - Very pretty girl but I have a feeling she is extremely bitchy and knows how to get what she wants. She may potentially be one of the first Duggar kids to tell Jim-Bob to go screw himself.
John-David - Very quiet. However I believe he is NOT like Josh. He does not go around preaching how wonderful his father is. John-David probably will leave the cult.
New babies - A smart financial move aka a sure bet on another season of Duggartown.
To be continued!!!
Before I end this Duggar rant, I have one more thing to touch on. What I am speaking of is when Anna Keller's father says that he is handing over "authority" over Anna from himself to Josh. Are you kidding me??? AUTHORITY??? Screw you ASSHOLE!!! No friggin' man will EVER have authority over me. Jim-Bob, Josh, Anna's father, and other bastards who feel like that should have their manhoods cut off because then they would not have to worry about handing over authority over someone to anyone. WHAT SICK BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!
I think I'll stop watching the Duggars. I'd rather watch Ben Bailey drive through the streets of NYC in a cab and ask questions. I think I'd even rather watch Mike Rowe degut a duck.

Where have all the bands gone?
I was bored awhile ago and there was absolutely NOTHING on TV; so, I was forced to watch a music infomercial for Time Life's 70's and 80's Rock Ballads. I have to admit that being very close to 30 and being a child of the late 70's and being raised on 70's, 80's, and 90's music, today's music is a disgrace. There are very few bands anymore. Now you have some 19 year old girl or boy sitting on stage on a bar stool or something singing some gay-ass song. What happened to sold-out stadiums and arenas? Today's concerts resemble cocktail parties. I don't get it. What happened to bands like Blue Oyster Cult, Survivor, Pearl Jam, etc. etc. with huge sold-out concerts that majorly kicked ass?!?! Today's musicians just don't have it!

Welcome to Debbie's B!tch Session!
Well if you are reading this, you must know me in some form or fashion. I have a couple pages here and there for different purposes but none of them can I just "talk" and express my true feelings. Alot of times I feel that I have to polite or politically correct. I think it is time that I express my true feelings! If I offend anyone, better luck next time because I am not appologizing anymore!!!
