Gosselin 8

so many of you know im a huge fan of the show Jon and Kate plus 8 which airs here on fpxtel's discovery home and health and is on the tlc network in the states which is where the family is from (Pennsylvania) if u havnt heard of it ill catch u up. 

jon and kate met in 97 and were married in 99 almost right away they started trying to start a family. kate, having always worried about infertility when to get checked out and was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and was referred to fertility doctor. they were treated using IUI they were lucky and thrilled to fall pregnant the first cycle and then discover they were carrying twins. Cara and Madelyn (Mady) were born in october 08.  when the twins were todlers they decided to have another child and with in two months they were pregnant again. they doctor told them on the day of the insemination there was 3 or 4 follicles. at the first scan it showed 7 sacs and 6 heart beats!! right away they were recommended to do a selected deduction. which jon and kate refused to do all though stating that day of scan was the worst days of their life's and they were so scared and what was going to happen. 

of course the babies were premiture and in may 04 the 6 relative healthy gosselins were born. Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Colin, Leah and Joel.

so of course they made headlines not on having sextuplets is a 1 in 3000000000 chance but kate and jon now had two sets of multiples with 8 kids under 5!

TLC did a special "surviving sextuplets and twins" which aired when the little kids were under one and showed us what is was like raising 4 year old twins and sextuplet babies. 

the following year TLC did a followup show "surviving sextuplets and twins one year on" and this time featured kate preparation for the week she would be away getting a tummy tuck ( which was donated from a fan of the first special and was badly needed after having a pregnancy of 6 babies!) and it showed how much the children had grown up. they were now almost 2 and the twins were 5. 

then TLC decided to do a regular show and started airing before the twins were 6 and the sextuplets were 2. it first aired in australia in November 2007 and aired season 1 and 2 back to back and is currently airing season 3. with season 4 being now aired in the US 

so last november when the discovery channel had a special on multiplies it aired the initial 2, hour long specials then the first season back to back.  and yes i fell in love with it, because i coveted it, as many as you know i have long being trying to fall pregnant and have children. and i identified with kate, like her i fared that i would have fertility problems long before i was diagnosed. like her i had tried to fall pregnant early after adrian and i had married. like her i had been diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and like her i had undergo iui treatments. 

i quickly discovered that kate was highly obsessive and compulsive and very organised in some ways over organised. she is a dominant personality and often has a short temper with her children and her husband. 

but she is human and dosnt censor herself for cameras and just becuase she is seen yelling and belittling her husband dose not mean she dosnt love him. they both evidently love each other and both know that they dont mean what they say at the time, but they are just under stress or angry. everyone close to me knows that i can loose my temper at adrian and can yell at him and what i have to say in the mist of my frustration is not always to every ones taste but adrian does understand that i dont mean it 

a lot of kate's parenting i dont agree with but i can understand the reasoning, a lot i dont agree with and cant understand the logic behind it either. and a lot i agree with and i have also got a lot of tips from her for when i have children. 

but parenting is not easy and parenting has to, needs to be unique for every family with similar styles shared through cultures, families, friends etc 

so anyways because im a net junkie and obsessive with the thing i like i joined facebook groups dedicated to the show. 

then i googled them and after the first three hits which are the tlc and the gosselin home page and  the wiki site. there is then many blogs and msg boards dedicated to hating the show, in particular kate. 

i stumbled on and read a few and most when on to say that the children were being exploited and that jon and kate were being paid millions of dollars and getting lost of free products off the show. and that she choose to have eight kids so why should she recive any handouts and help. that comments annoyed me. they didnt choose to have eight children. they fell prganant with twins using iui becuase they had fertility problems and then want another child not uncommon for families to want 3 children and used again iui because the same problems existed and in america the standards and less controlled then ivf so the cances of larger multiples are greater, however it is cheaper by thousands of dollars (here it is $1000 and is medicare covered after the safty net, where as ivf is $5000 + , but not only the finacials are different but thr procedure is different if you dont need to use ivf you wouldn't. iui is evasive emotional and hormonally challenging on your body and emotions but ivf is even more so,  it is very evasive and emotional and hard on your body. then people say well they could of selected to deduced some. i find that highly offensive, imagine ordealing infertility , then finding out joyful against the odds you have falling pregnant but there is a large multiple, being asked to abort some after praying, trying and going through all those procedures to get one? 

its obvious that they arent getting rehearsed or retakes, the children have known the crew since they were babies. 

if they are getting money can you blame them yes they are raising eight children they didnt plan for 

i then found a blog written by an extended family member who says she is telling the truth about jon and kate but her 20 + post are not really about the truth or any info,it is basically a vent and on line argument aimed at j&k because she knows them.  and most of the information we really dont even need to know? who cares we just want to watch the gosselins not everyone related to them. 

this blogger was very naive she says she didnt want to fight but you cant hide on the net , ( I KNOW) and it is very easy for people to take things the wrong way when it is written on line, especially for everyone to see. 

im not even going to post her link. she says you can find it unless you go looking for it or for boards against the show. however i found it by searching jon and kate plus 8 and it was linked to the fourth hit! and her latest post shows a clip from cnn which mentions her blog and the url is seen! 

anyway i guess i have learned through my own blog and am now passing on to others, blog it and be exoected to answer to it and post it on facebook and everyone will see and you cant claim ohh its just my little bolog to ven, and oh i didnt think everyone would know on fb ......

Bradbury v Harrington Park

so cricket season has started again and yes in yrs past i have blogged about the games. and i forgot to this season so here is the update ;)

this year we are in 6th grade, we are really 8th grade material, sorry guys but you know it, but a few blocks have potential to make 50s, 100s, take 3, 5 wickets in a few games and this tags them for regrading which then causes us problems staying to keep them in our team , as thats why they play to be  team and arent as consistent as they were to be considered 4th/5th grade blokes. so to avoid this this season we were graded in 6th grade despite not making the semi's last year 

round 1 

we played Collegians after we bowled them out for 218 with terry getting 3 wickets, and adrian and Corey picking up 2 wickets each. the following week we were washed out, corey did make 22 runs first though. (hows that for spin corey?)

round 2 we played harrington park 

now we have a history with this club, when we first started as a team in 2000/01  way back when we were in 9th grade. harrignton park were know as Catherine fields and the 9th grade side was known as the cowboys.  and we developed a friendly competition between us we played against them for 3 or 4 seasons and we never lost to them (maybe that was a bit of luck)

unfortunately the cowboys won a grandfinal ( we came 3rd that year) and moved up 2 grades and then Catherine fields became harrington park  we still didnt loose against them until ....

so we started off last week we made a first innings total of 115 notes to brett who scored 58 (yes more then half the team total)

we then had them we then had them 6/63 to end the days play.

open this week and we need 4 wickets in less then 52 runs to win. they end up posting 184 declared with one bloke scoring 105. adrain 3-44 and terry 3-36. 

 so we loose fist innings

we then go in to bat for bonus points. we were dropping like flies. loosing 5/43 then having a 58 pun partner ship with troy and adam taken us 6-101. we declared on 6-151 with adam making 82. special mentioned to jamie who keep up his end in the last 50 team runs with adam, making 13. adam ended up 82*

we then had 30 minutes to take 8 wickets (they had only 9 players to end the day) and they needed 80 runs so basically unless they started smashing them, we were playing for us to win and turn the game out of a lost. first over brett gets 2 wickets opening first ball wicket! adrian follows up the next over with a wicket and then brett takes a wicket in his next 2 overs making them 5/9!! i was excited the win was insight!. i was shaking! but a las time came and we didnt get the last much desired 3 scalps. they ended up 5/19 

stay tuned for next weeks game :) 

fauxmosexuals

this is a news artical that proves my previous blog post about bisexuality so anyway here is the report

By Matt Bachl, ninemsn

The boom in women pretending to be lesbians to attract attention is leaving a trail of emotional destruction, according to a social commentator.

Several high-profile relationships involving "real lesbians" and women more often linked to men — such as MTV's Ruby Rose and Jess Origliasso, and Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan — have reportedly encouraged a wave of "fauxmosexuals" on the real life party circuit.

PHOTOS: Invasion of the faux lesbians

Gay social commentator Tim Duggan has described the "lesbian trend" as a fad which is actually doing "more damage than good".

"Experimentation is healthy — what it leads to can sometimes be a great thing, but you need to wonder what effect [fake lesbians] are having on women," said Mr Duggan, co-founder of gay and lesbian site SameSame.

"Women who pretend to be lesbians do it to titillate men.

"The current trend of gay acceptance is a Trojan horse: on the surface it's 'wow, isn’t it great, it's being talked about', but it's not real acceptance — it's a titillating, easy-on-the-eyes acceptance."

Online gay forums are abuzz with talk of the "bogus lesbian" craze, with some questioning whether the trend is putting real homosexuals at risk.

"Where do these fauxmosexual fads leave queer teens once they're packed away in the cupboard (with other fads)?," user timbo84 wrote.

"The statistic of 30 percent of teen suicides in the US being gay or lesbian teens is very distressing.

"Here's hoping pop culture moves on to focus on people like Ellen and Ian McKellen and not those who are just 'out' to make a buck!"

Mr Duggan said the impact of "celesbians" — stars who use alternative lifestyles as marketing ploys — is something which can no longer be ignored.

"When straight celebrities like Katy Perry come out and sing about kissing girls and liking it, you have to wonder what impact that has on the playground," he said.

Perry rocketed to the top of the singles chart, both locally and overseas, after her song "I Kissed A Girl" became a worldwide smash.

MTV VJ Ruby Rose was seen locking lips with Veronicas twin Jess Origliasso at a Sydney nightclub in March.

Rose, 22, later stressed the two were "just friends" during a tell-all interview where she revealed she came out when was just 12 years old.

Earlier this month, Rose was spotted kissing Australia's Next Top Model contestant Samantha Downie at a Rolling Stone magazine party.

Celebrity lesbian flings are being blamed for the surge of 'fauxmosexuals'.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson recently 'came out' about their relationship.

a new blue harvest of hope

ok so most everyone knows that family guy did a star wars special last year. initially i wasnt sure i wanted to watch it cos as much as star wars freaks adrian and i am, i dont watch family guy. anyways we missed tapping it when it aired so we hired it today.
man it is hilarious especially to star wars freaks. the whole episdoe takes of star wars almost shot for shot. it starts when there is a black out and peter tells them all a story "we will start at the beginning at episode 4"
here are some of the best quotes
Title card/crawl: A long time ago, but somehow in the future... It is a period of civil war and renegade paragraphs floating through space. There's cool space battles, and the bad guy is the good guy's dad. But you don't find that out 'til the next episode. And the hot chick is really the sister of the good guy, but they don't know it and they kiss. Which is kind of messed up. I mean, what if they had done it instead of just kissed? Angelina Jolie kissed her brother. Yeah, she did. You know it, I know it, and her dad knows it. That's why they hardly ever talk anymore. You can run away to Africa, but you can't run away from the truth. Oh, by the way, here's a tip for you: when this is over, go out and rent the movie "Gia." She's way naked in it, and makes out with another chick and everything. It's awesome. I stumbled across it late night on HBO after I had just got back from hockey, and I almost fainted. But I digest... Princess Leia was coming back from buying space groceries when this happened...

Peter (Han Solo): This is a story of love and loss, fathers and sons, and the foresight to retain international merchandising rights. This is the story of Star Wars. Let's begin with Part Four.

Imperial Officer 1: Hold your fire. There's no life forms aboard.
Imperial Officer 2: Hold your fire? What, are we paying by the laser now?
Imperial Officer 2: You don't do the budget, Terry. I do.

this is one funnier if you see it though

General Tagge: Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they've obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe.
Stewie (Darth Vader): That is fantastic. Terrific work. So no weaknesses at all?
General Tagge: N... no.
Stewie (Darth Vader): You, uh, you hesitated there. Is there something I should know?
General Tagge: No, it's virtually indestructible, like 99.99%.
Stewie (Darth Vader): Uh, okay, wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't ask what's the 0.01?
General Tagge: Well, I mean, there's this little hole. It was kind of an aesthetic choice by the architect. And if you shoot a laser into this hole, the station blows up.
Stewie (Darth Vader): Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! That sounds like a pretty big design flaw, then.
General Tagge: No, no, the hole's only two meters across.
Mayor Adam West (Grand Moff Tarkin): Well, that's no bigger than a womp rat.
General Tagge: Exactly. And even to get within range of it, you have to skim along this whole trench. It's not a big deal.
Stewie (Darth Vader): Can't we board it up or, you know, put some plywood over it or something?
General Tagge: Well, that would look terrible. I mean, we gotta think about resale.
Stewie (Darth Vader): Resale? What are you talking about? This property is right above Sunset. The value is only going to go up.
General Tagge: Lord Vader, your inside references to the Los Angeles real estate market haven't given you the clairvoyance to turn a profit on that condo in Glendale. Nor has it...
Stewie (Darth Vader): [Vader begins to choke him] I find your lack of faith disturbing. That property is in a prime location! Twenty minutes to the beach, twenty minutes to downtown!
General Tagge: [choking] There's nothing to do downtown!
Mayor Adam West (Grand Moff Tarkin): Enough of this! Vader, release him!
Stewie (Darth Vader): As you wish.
[releases Tagge]
Stewie (Darth Vader): All right, so were' going to plug up that hole?
Imperial Officer: Yeah, we can get it done tomorrow if price is no object.
Stewie (Darth Vader): Ehhhh...
Imperial Officer: We'll get estimates.
Stewie (Darth Vader): Get estimates, yeah, yeah.

Barbara Pewterschmidt (Aunt Beru): Tell Uncle Owen not to tell you that your father is Darth Vader.

Rush Limbaugh: My good friends, the liberal galactic media is at it again. They never stop. Now they're trying to convince us that Hoth is melting. Well, that's crazy, Just trying to scare us. And if that weren't enough to get you mad, we now have news that Lando Calrissian has been made the chief administrator of the Bespin mining facility. Gee, I wonder how he got that job. Well, let me tell you how he got that job. Affirmitive action strikes again

Peter (Han Solo): I'm Han Solo, captain of the Millenium Falcon, and the only actor whose career isn't destroyed by this movie.

Peter (Han Solo): We'll be safe enough once we make the jump to hyperspace. Besides, I know a few maneuvers. We'll lose'em.
[the Falcon starts listing lazily to the left]
Chris (Luke Skywalker): Uh, that was your maneuver? Moving slightly to the left?
Peter (Han Solo): Well, I mean we're not in the same place we were, huh? That ought to confuse'em.
Chris (Luke Skywalker): Yeah, but you hardly did anything. You just started listing lazily to the left. I'm pretty sure they can keep up.
Imperial Officer 1: Where did they go?
Imperial Officer 2: There they are! They're listing lazily to the left. Go left, left!
Imperial Officer 1: Boy, this guy knows some maneuvers.

ok i basically just copied the screen play put here is some clips ;)

thats like random...seriously

By Angela Saurine

NEXT time you're at the pub and hear a glass smash, try to resist the urge to call out "taxi!"

If you want to catch up with a work contact, suggest something other than "let's do lunch".

And whatever you do, don't phone someone to "touch base".

That's the verdict of fed-up Australians, who have voted on the most overused and hated phrases in a nationwide survey.

Social researcher Mark McCrindle found politicians, workmates and teenagers the worst cliche offenders.

When it came to political speak, the saying, "I'm not ruling anything out" was the most despised.

But overall, the phrase "at the end of the day" was the most irritating in the English language.

In social cliches, saying a person is hot and making a sizzling noise was also a big no-no.

But people appreciate it when you say "bless you" when someone sneezes or offer to "touch wood" on their behalf.

Join the survey: Share your most hated cliches

"Cliches are increasingly part of our society," Mr McCrindle said.

"They bring a familiarity to conversations and they sometimes can fill in those awkward silences and keep things flowing. (But) they do tend to have a use-by date."

Stephanie Rogers, 16, often annoys her mother Gabriela with typical Gen Y phrases. "She says 'whatever' with the whole rolling of the eyes," Mrs Rogers said. Stephanie also admitted to saying the word "like" too much.

i went looking for the full list but couldnt find it, disapointed but ill thought ill add the ones i use often and the ones i hate.

i use : random, too funny, seriously, whats that about?, whatever

let me know about other i use guys...

ones i cant stand: my bad, sick, bling

dont leave your garden gnome out

i was reading in the paper today and artical about the most stolen goods in Sydney according to suburb. it stated that thieves steal in their own area and what is in demand so it would be pointless to steal a drive across Sydney to steal a lawn mower and try and flogged it off to people who live in flats in the inner city. our area is true we always hear about stolen lawn mowers, whipper snippers, hoses, gnomes, and letter boxes
here is the full list

Tatto 1

so i have wanted a tattoo for as long as i could remember and had a heap of ideas but none really grabbed me that much either then the day after i was admitted to hospital and i was flicking through the cancer council info booklets (excellent little info books about all different things you need to know about cancer and treatment) i was looking at the daffodil symbol that use and suddenly thought bingo when im done with chemo im getting one on my left wrist to signified that i survived cancer/chemo and it was also perfect cos daffodils are my fav flowers
anyways i let my peeps know ( a friend was going to do it ) he said sure after chemo NOT during and last night he said im free tomorrow so up we went to get it
so its dainty and cute im going to attach a picture of the symbol and will add a pic when its healed
didnt hurt that much at all!! mum and Craig where there so they got one each too now i just need to figure out the places for the rest!! ......

iblogging

So I'm posting this via my iPod. Yay I'm good. Well I'm sick again!! This is the 6th time I've been sick since I went back to work! This of course is all my fault because I acciddently put my white cell injection In the microwave instead of the fridge when I got home from my last chemo so making it useless and now I haven't had the boat for my imune system so I have been getting one cold after another! Which has done wonders for my skin! Its constantly dehydrated even though at minnum drink 2litters of water every day so I have spent a small fortune in skin care to repair it. I now use 3 moisturisors each morning. So I have had the best night sleep and Adrian made matters worse by letting jack sleep with us last night so I spent all night being punched and kicked by him! He is now too big to sleep with us. Another side note my iPod picks up a lot of my spelling and graamma mistakes and changers them for me which is great cos the ipod touch key board is very senitive.
Ok I'm off now cricket starts in an hour and I need to get out of bed

Lost-in-Direction - Road Trip to Canberra

Jenny and I went to her sister-in-laws hens night yesterday. oh my god what a road trip!
the hens night was in Canberra so we drove down for the weekend. we live 2.5 ho0urs drive north of Canberra and had planned to stay at my sister in law's Michelle's place. with the first event being at 12 noon we had left at 8.30 to give us plenty of time to get there and factor getting a bit lost and had time to have a cuppa at Michelle's and get changed before lunch. i had never driven to Canberra so i did not really know how to get to Michelle's place although i had been there a few times now. so Adrian had printed directions of google maps for me.
 i like to think i do have a pretty good scens of direction and can easily find my way again when i do get lost. and when it happens i dont get stressed out and generally work out that im lost early so its not that big a problem
but even with the directions we got lost 2 or 3 times and called Adrian in the mist of a giggling fit to get direction which he couldnt help with. so called Michelle and left a msg on her mobile when she called me back 30 seconds later we had found our way again. and what got us lost was 1 round about that we had taken the wrong exit twice then missed a turn off to the suburb Michelle lives in. simple mistakes, but they were more stressful because we were running late. we had drove through a heavy storm between Bowral and Yass so that had slowed us down and even more so becuase im on my green p's i can still only go 100 km/ph
so in the end it took us 3.5 hours to get to Canberra and arrived at lunch half an hour late.
lunch was very nice we had go to Pialligo Estate Winery ( i didnt taste any wine cos i was driving was dying to taste the rose and resling )
after lunch we went to changed and headed off to after tea held at a house 5 min drive from Michelle's. nice after noon tea and some cool hens night games i have added to  the inventory
then we left early to change again and get a cab form michelle's to dinner at the cbd.
however when we came out on the main rd again to lead us back from Michelle's we went the wrong way and when that rd ended realised i had veared of the rd i though oh it musted of been becuase it was dark and just missed. so we did a uturn and headed back but trouble was when we got back to the street we had turned on to originally we thought we had come to far and u turned again and again ended up at the end of the main rd. that was when we realised we had turned the wrong way originally and when we took the 2nd uturn we had made a mistake so it took us over an hour to get back to Michell's place when it was a 5 min drive. so again we arrived at dinner 30 mins late.
so this sound like we have no directional skills and are complete tragics but it was generally unusual to get that lost that many times for just silly mistakes by me anyway. it is people! everyone just seem to remember the times i get lost or get them lost not the times i drove my self places for  the first time with out directions without getting lost or anything and over all we did well. Canberra dose have confusing exist and roundabouts that are hard to use if you arent used to them.
overall we had a fantastic time and met some great girls and had a good road trip
today on the way home we didnt get lost once and had a good run back

yay a new layout

yes im am ipod addict
both adrian and i own ipods. we both brought them when they first arrived so he had an oiriginal one and i had an ipod mini (they were out so brief ppl forget they exists!) We have both since updated our ipods adrian started with the frist video ipods because his ipod was stolen and i just updated to the ipod touch, adrian got it for me for christmas....yes christams you read correctly its was on special with more the $100 off so he brought it early and i couldnt handle it having it in the house without using it so i got to have it earky in September! yay!
the reason why i needed the update was my battery was dying in the old one and didnt last anymore.
but it was a lengthy process to transfer songs to the new one. we had to get an update for our windows and then transfer all adrians songs form his to the pc for me to use as they werent on itune. its still not all done ands its now 3 weeks old.
but i do LOVE it.takes a while to get use to the different format. but it is basically a pda or teeny laptop ot "palmtop"at home i can use my wireless to go onto the net. yay fb on my ipod and even better cos its ipod its a safari browser!
the other ipod thing i recently brought was an alam clock/ipod dock. adrian and i have always used our stero (in the lounge room so its blarring) to wake us up in the morning and wake up to merrick and rosso and kate ritchie breakie raido show. when we moved to mums we discovered we needed am alarm clock because after 8 years (thats how long we've been together but were both using this system before we met) its hard to wake up using another alarm.
so i brought the ipod dock its is beyond cool not only does it dock the ipod to play it out the speakers and charge it, it has a fm brand, 2 separate alarms, and comes with 5 nature sounds of waves, rain, birds ect so yo can choose to wake up to the raidio, ipod or nature sounds. im in love1 now i can listen to music at night with out ear phones which i havnt been able to do since we started living together
stay tuned for future ipod accessory purchases (wish list a voice recorder)
