maybe... but Kate had bordered on obnoxious with the attitude about organic food in the past. why stop mentioning it just for Emeril?
I agree. I make my DD wear a helmet on her tricycle.(I'm nuts, I know.)
).not nuts at all.
our dd is a living example of how much damage can occur in a minor fall from a bike (a child's size not an adult's) and how much protection a helmet can provide.
about 5 years ago dd was riding REALY slowly on her bike (practicing making turns) and she simply lost her balance. she fell onto the asphalt road and as a result broke chunks out of her 2 front teeth. since they are adult teeth she's had to have bonding done to them (and more than once because it does'nt hold up that well and it's not advised to get veneers until they become adults). she also broke her arm-that alone resulted in over $50,000 in med bills in the first 30 days (she's had to have a subsequent surgery on the arm and we've surpassed the $100,000 mark
her head however was not injured-and it was entirely because of her helmet. the helmet only had a small scratch on the outside but if you turned it upside down and looked inside you could see how the protective cushioning cracked and collapsed (one small pull on each side of the helmet and it literaly pulled apart and opened like an egg shell). doctors said that had she not been wearing a helmet her skull would have taken the brunt of the fall (she fell from the bike, head and left arm hit the ground first, she kind of bounced and came down on her mouth).
it drives me crazy when i see kids or adults bike or skate without helmets.
Today.....I am Kate....just ask my DH John
I will give you all the details later, but just let me tell you that he invited people over so I had to clean the house.....(well, he said, "it's just my dumb friends you don't really need to clean) uh yeah...I do...then this morning he tells me that his friend is bringing his wife so now I have to not only clean, but I have to be entertaining!! (I really don't like people at my house in "MY" space)
I have flipped out so many times today...so wish me luck on putting on the happy face in a 1/2 hour when people get here!!!
Just one detail.....DH went to Tractor Supply and DIDN'T USE THE COUPON I HAD!!
Oh yeah...one more detail, he let the cat outside after I hollered, "shut the door the cat is heading your way!!" GRR
I am Kate--hear me roar!!
I'll be packing for Disney Wednesday at 10am ..
Hey ladies,
The famous Disney episode of J&K will be on this Wednesday @ 10am!
even with a coupon, I'm pretty sure the helmets are cheaper than the heads
on a more serious note? that was appalling, IMO. There's NO excuse for a child (ANY child) to be on a bike with the helmet hanging on the handle. Helmets are important. Really important.
As my DS4 will tell you, "Mommy is mean AND evil!" and boy does she enjoy it!! Working where I do, seeing and/or hearing about the terrible things guys see when they go on calls I think makes me a little more parinoid in general.not nuts at all.

Umm what??? Mommy was just waking up too! She can't handle questions like that before 7 am. So I tried calmly to answer "I don't know...what do you think?". He replied "of course you can mom!". I don't know where the question came from - all he would tell me is he was "just thinkin' about it". Gotta love little minds. I love his confidence in me....eighte kids though...I don't know. I caught myself feeling really bad for Steve Thomas when he was so clearly trying to do a good job and be an easy person to get along/work with. Kate was behaving horrible towards him, like she was completely put out that he was even there! It was very strange...I felt like she was openly rude to him both to his face and during the interview portion. Wow, I really hope it was due to the fact she was having a bad day and that this is not a glimpse of what we can expect in future episodes. I wonder if she's getting fed up with having camera/crew in the house? Maybe she'd rather just do speaking engagements? I know that I certainly don't have the necessary personality to handle that kind of chaos!
So is that what people have been reporting she's like at the speaking engagements? That's soooo not good or professional if it's true.
If that's the case, I wonder why she seemed worried about the cost.

It's so hard for most of us to imagine, but they really don't pay for anything we see them do or use on the show. Actually they are comped some things not specific to the show like the Lane furniture. They were featured on their website. She keeps on pretending though...K-mart layaway, yeah right.
