If everyone is so tired of hearing about this woman and her babies, why is it still being discussed here in yet ANOTHER thread?

WOWZA, it's quiet here today. DeeMarie, welcome back. Can't wait to see your pix. Marci posted some for me while you were gone! Raeanne, I would think that right after the first of the year we should start seriously making plans. Maybe sooner? I guess I would ask Maddie to guide us here because who knows. I can't even remember the exact date! I am sending Kingfisher thoughts your way. LOL Today is my Siamese boys birthday. 12 and 10 years old. Boy time has flown. They are out in the livingroom rolling around in the catnip I got them to celebrate with. I will join them with a glass of wine shortly! I love watching them groove on catnip. I lead such an exciting life!!! The pumpkin festival in Keene, NH is this weekend. Our office carved pumpkins to spell out Equine Journal and it will be displayed on the tower at the top of Main Street about 9 tiers up. Keene is trying to break it's own world's record of 28,000 or so. This year we are going for 30,000! Check out the link below. The tower you see here is at the top of the square and is the tower our pumpkins will be on. QOD: My alarm is set for 4am Mon-Fri. and I am usually in bed by 9:30 and 10 is pushing it for me unless I have to. On weekends I try to sleep in which usually ends up being 5:30 or 6! Still it feels good not to have to hear the alarm. Here is a link that might be useful: Keene Pumpkin Festival

Raeanne - You are so right about having to sit down and have a good cry if that sauce fell!! Now I think I will be even MORE cautious carrying it downstairs! LOL Don't beat yourself up about the cheesecake. We have to allow ourselves treats. The trick is to take small amounts and stop when you are satisfied. I am finding that the longer I stay away from sweets, the easier it is to take only a small bite or two. The fear that I will become addicted again is too great! And the fear that my new pants won't fit is even greater! LOL Speaking of sweets, I am testing my willpower today and making pumpkin bread for a bake sale. I just put 6 mini loaves in the oven (and didn't lick the beaters or my fingers) and plan on giving 5 away and keeping one for DH and I. I will have my share for breakfast and when it is gone, there won't be anything else to tempt me. This is what I have been doing since July and it has been working so far. Then I am making a banana cake for my sewing club and I plan on having a small piece Tuesday night and giving away what ever is left. The ladies can each take a piece home, I will take some into work for the secretary and my cohorts, and DH could take some to work if there is any left after that. I still don't trust myself to have the leftovers sitting around for a week while I wait for DH to eat them. Laundry calls! I washed a Kleenex this morning in with a dark load and you know what that means. 1000s of little white flecks all over the place. I put the load in the dryer, but it didn't get rid of all the flecks, so I am running the load through the rinse cycle. Sheesh! Like I don't have enough to do. And I can't even blame the Kleenex on DD since she doesn't live here anymore! LOL Later, Marci

I was married to a man that has classic narcissistic personality disorder. We have two children together, and since we divorced six years ago he has attempted to make my life miserable using the court system. The reason he's using the court is because I cut off other opportunities for him. Because he is violent and deviant, we communicate only by email and the contact he has with me and the kids is documented. He's only allowed to see them with supervision. I found the court to be my friend in protecting both me and the kids from him. The big question I had was why was he doing this to me? He's remarried (twice) since we divorced. I found some clues in a few things he said. He still says that I am living in "his" house (even though I paid for it) and even went so far as to tell me I had to give him "his" dog (even though we bought it for the kids, he worked out of town five days a week and lived in the desert). Turns out that possession is a big deal to narcissists. If they think something, or someone, belongs to them, it REALLY angers them when they can't have it. Doesn't matter if they actually WANT it, they just need to know they CAN have it. In my case, the house, the dog and the kids are what he thought were his. So even though he was unemployed, living with his parents and not paying child support or even visiting them, he sued me for custody. He represented himself, which is the only reason the case even got to court. A halfway competent lawyer could have seen he had ZERO chance, but in his warped mind, everyone should see that he was being reasonable and logical...after all, they are HIS kids, right? So I think that's why he's doing this to you...to prove to himself that you're still "his" even if he doesn't want you. Hang in there, but definitely do NOT interact with him, because any interaction will only enforce his twisted ideas.

If you are not interested, then don't join in, please. The subject line is an alert, so don't go there. Yeah, it's like a soap opera, and it is shocking too how this could be allowed to happen. Hopefully, something can be learned here. And as a CA taxpayer, burdened with thousands of other people "on the dole" who shouldn't be and a State that is near bankruptcy, it is of concern. If philanthropic organizations can help her, it relieves the State of some of the burden. The lips, the shopping sprees, her reluctance to admit that she made a terrible error--it's just an indication of her mental state, and it isn't good. So let us share what we learn without being criticized for it.

I am watching it right now..This girl does "NOT" have a clue about what is going to happen soon. Her Mother is coming on next.. I know she is going to have to have alot of help but I am dead set against handing the woman a bundle of money. Someone has to control the money... This woman doesn't have a clue.. She will never be able to raise them without help... She is one selfish woman...

She's been offered a million or millions to pose nude. Maybe this is the break she's been planning on

IMHO She is an embarrassment to womanhood

I do hope they can find a way to get those babies in other homes. She would cause the families grief though, I'm afraid.

Pose nude??? My body probably looks better than hers after being stretched that big.
She's so into herself.

I don't know if I am about to reveal the outcome of the show to anyone who didn't see it in it's entirety,but I guess it really doesn't matter since everyone seems pretty disinterested anyway.
I watched the whole show and I have a whole new perspective on this woman now.I originally felt like everyone else,that she was selfish,in it for the money,etc.I think Dr.Phil did make an impression on her and made her think a little farther into the future than what she has been.He concluded that she lives in a fantasy world,has little concept of the real world and is immature in her thinking and problem solving skills.Because I have some family members who have the same problem,I can fully understand it.It's not their fault and nothing anyone can do can change it.Their minds just don't work in the same way that some other people's minds work!
She did finally admit to Dr. Phil that she made a mistake by becoming pregnant again and by having all 6 embryos implanted.I do understand her thinking about implanting all 6.she thought it would result in only one or maybe two and she didn't want to "kill" (which in her eyes is what it would have been) the other embryos.Yes,she could have kept the other embryos frozen indefinitely,but in her mind she was "done having babies" and using all the embryos made it "final".At the end of the show Dr. Phil said that she called him after she came home from the hospital that evening and told him that she had realized that the nurses had been taking care of her babies and that she hadn't really thought ahead to what it would actually be like when she got them all home.She said also that she realized that she hadn't cried in months,and that she had been crying since she got home.She also sent him a multiple page list of things that had to be in place before the hospital would allow her to bring those babies home and she was very concerned about that.Regardless of what we think about this woman,those babies are here and she will need help to care for them and her other children.As the old saying goes,lets not throw out the baby with the bathwater (no pun intended).
Also remember that there are people out there who will try to profit from all of this.I don't put much stock in "they say". JMHO
