KATE GOSSELIN: HOW SHE FOOLED THE WORLD - THE RISE AND FALL OF A REALITY TV QUEEN (103 page)

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Avoiding flu bug but have a nasty cough.2day is a run day tho so it better go away!tricks 4 getting rid of a deep chest cough?

they say to put Vicks rub on your feet and wear socks to bed…. Have done it. It worked… Good luck!

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 If by omg you mean Oh My Groin. Actually I’m fine!! I stretched before I got in the car!

ok that is funny! Didn’t mean that but always good to stretch before exercising lol

Kate’s suggestion to slather Vicks on your feet and wear socks to bed to cure a deep chest cough is too ridiculous to comment further on. It speaks for itself. And no, Kate, it’s certainly not “always good to stretch before exercising lol”. In fact, there’s a big debate about whether runners should stretch before, after, or at all. Since Kate has so many tweeties that can’t decide what to put on their toast in the morning without asking her, she should be more responsible when dispensing training advice so she doesn’t get one of her tweeties seriously injured.

All it would have taken for her to dispense accurate and helpful information would have been a quick Google search about stretching before running or working out. She would have found numerous articles indicating that many fitness experts now agree that static stretching before a workout is potentially harmful, and many now recommend to not stretch before a workout when muscles are cold.

Kate should just stick to telling everyone over and over again how tired and exhausted she is and that her children are thrilled to be living with her. Maybe no one will get hurt that way. Here is some more solid medical advice from Nurse Katie:

wait2hrs after vomit. Then giv CLEAR:)Gatorade-1 sip@a X.increase gradually.when stops vom,goldfish/Gatorade 4 1-2days Gd luck!

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 hey kate :) What do goldfish do for sick kids ?

goldfish and Gatorade…. This moms choice for rehabbing sick bellies :)

Kate Gosselin is/was a nurse and is the self-proclaimed “most organized person on the planet” who knows better than us all. Her go-to remedy for “sick bellies” is goldfish crackers and Gatorade, yet she doesn’t have a supply of goldfish and Gatorade on hand just in case any of her kids get sick? She had to put it out on Twitter for someone to bring her the necessary supplies to help her sick children. And then she got upset when someone on Twitter questioned her. Kate is the one putting every personal detail of her and her children’s lives online for all the world to see, and then she gets irate when people criticize her and call her out on how ridiculous she sounds. She should just ignore her critics, but she always responds to them.

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 You need help getting Christmas lights you need help getting fish and a drink??Really??

help getting Goldfish&Gatorade 4 sickkids?Yes!Don’t think u would take 8 kids2grocstore, 2 that r vomiting? Think b4 tweeting pls.

JESUS – THE REASON FOR THE SEASON

Since Kate never mentions Jesus or her faith anymore, her fans feel the need to point it out to her, especially at Christmas, this very important time of year for all Christians. Then, when she is reminded that she should mention Jesus, she gets defensive and spouts her BS. By the way, years after Kate’s website went live, the “inspiration” page still says “COMING SOON.” It must just be an oversight, I guess. She’s far too busy tweeting all day and night to strangers and writing blogs by Shoka the dog.

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Jesus Christ is the reason 4 the season- Christ-mas! Never played up the Santa bit – my sons weren’t traumatized by it.

Same here!Kids know it’s a day of giving2 ea other for the happiness of 1s we love! :) Jesus was our gift so it’s symbol!

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Hope this Christmas allow
s for time to be w/ family & friends…as well as focus on Jesus the Christ that came for you & I ?

has and will.. I love the holidays for just those reasons!

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Don’t feel attacked.many r probably wondering because in the past you have made a point of how strong your faith was

and still is… Oh my… Conquered dark days triumphantly bc of my faith, wo a doubt!

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 what about church & a relationship with Christ??I don’t ever HEAR you mention anything about it.

not sure what and why you ask? I sorta feel attacked w that ? Altho I don’t think u meant it? :)Jesus is the reason4season4sure!

Kate tweeted that she wasn’t sure why she was asked about her relationship with Christ. The tweetie asked that question because Kate doesn’t speak, tweet, blog or live like she currently has any belief in God whatsoever, but during her early days traveling around the country and speaking at churches with her hand out collecting “Love Offerings,” and in her book,
Multiple Blessings
, “God” was every other word out of her mouth. Why is it so hard to keep up the lie? Why did Kate stop talking about the Lord once she became a millionaire and a celebrity?

To put all the rumblings to rest about her not going to church, Kate pulled quite a publicity stunt. She was so desperate to convince her tweeties that she actually believes in God, and goes to church, that she dressed the kids up and took them to church on Christmas Eve…and took a photo of them to post on Twitter. They arrived late to the service and left early, but Kate accomplished her mission. During the candlelight service on one of the holiest days on the Christian calendar, Kate Gosselin whipped out her camera and started taking pictures of her kids, totally disregarding everyone else at the service and never once giving any thought to the distraction she was causing.

That total disregard for the sanctity of the church underscores just how little respect she has for her religion. Even Kate’s own father, Kenton Kreider, felt the need to remind Kate of the reason for the season. He sent her a Christmas card, and on the back of the envelope, he personally wrote in all caps: “KEEP
CHRIST
IN
CHRIST
MAS”.

THERE IS NO SANTA CLAUS. BUT THERE IS A MS CLAUS
E?

Kate sounds like a broken record in her tweets here about Santa Claus. These “results are the same” sound like canned responses from a PR person:

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Do ur kids still believe in Santa?

no never did here :) result is the same tho ;)

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Merry Christmas ! Do your kids still believe in Santa ?? If they don’t, did u tell them ? Or did they find out themselves ?? :)

we never did Santa! :) results are the same tho :)

12.24.11

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 do your kids buy gifts for each other? And do they still believe in santa?

cara and Mady do (w their own $..so cute) and no Santa here but result is the same so no big deal! :)

12.24.11

Kate decided to deprive her children of all the wonder and magic that is the tradition of believing in Santa Claus. That’s fine. She’s the parent. But if allowing the children to believe in Santa is against her religious beliefs, why does she get to pretend that she is “Ms Clause” (and spell it incorrectly to boot)?

Silly tweeties... I see you calling me! I'm eyeball deep in wrapping and (shh) presents...I'm playin Ms Clause tonight... No run again 2day!

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 MSD having a few drinks in your honor tonight. :O)

cool thanks. Ms clause is too busy to party

And on her own website, one of the things she listed in her December 24, 2011, blog, “8 things that tell me it’s Christmastime,” was this:

My bedroom is no longer anything but Ms Claus’ Workshop – I cannot walk in any direction without fear of colliding with a wrapped package!

I guess Santa doesn’t exist to her just like her children’s father doesn’t exist to her.

CHRISTMISC TWEETS AND “FEATS”

Here is a compilation of miscellaneous tweets from Kate in the month leading up to Christmas and on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day:

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Did u get your Christmas decorations up?

no. lights don’t work& ….. got frustrated&ran 10 mi instead. Tgiving is away&Christmas this wk bef I leave next wkend

Ok,seriously,why is EVERY store out of white Christmas lights???!Only ONE strand of ours works &I promised lights on tree yesterday! Oh no..

That tweet was at 6:00 PM. Kate left the kids alone in the house to go out shopping for more lights. She never had to do this by herself before in her life and she had no idea how to string tree lights. I found out that rather than splitting the strands of lights up over several extension cords or the special cord with several different outlets, Kate plugged them all in together, overloading the small fuse. The twins pointed it out to her.

This is a tweet from Kate answering a question about Christmas shopping:

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 do your kids still draw names for each other?

not this year…So far. Didn’t have a chance to go shopping for them… may do it last minute with the crowds, yikes!

TLC and paid employees helped Kate take care of that Christmas shopping in the past. Now she says she didn’t have a chance to go shopping? She’s home alone for eight and a half hours all day, every day, with no job and nothing to do except go to the tanning salon and get her hair and nails done, but she didn’t have a chance to go Christmas shopping for her kids as of December 15th?

This next series of tweets is all about stress and gift wrapping.
