TMI Tuesday and Blog Award

Sadly it appears that Jon and Kate's marriage is going gently into that good night. Hell who are we kidding, I am sure there will be much raging and extensive media coverage of the whole thing. I do not watch Jon and Kate plus 8. Unless Hubman is away and the kids are asleep I do not get a whole lot of control over the remote.

So everything I know about them comes from the unavoidable media coverage. While it appears that Kate is a shrew and Jon is a gutless excuse for a man, only time (and who has the better PR team) will tell. However before anyone casts stones at either of them, I just wonder whose marriage could withstand such scrutiny. I think that marriage can be challenging under the best of circumstances, but having every aspect of your relationship played out on national TV and dissected on message boards is pretty much a guaranteed sinker.

Yes they did choose to be on television, but I am sure they started this with the best of intentions, which was to raise money to support their large family. I am not familiar with hyper multiples, but I know that I am continually surprised about how much it can cost to raise two children, I cannot imagine having another six.

I wonder how many of us could go through the whole media experience with the constant attention, freebies, and money and not come out unchanged.

Since today's TMI questions focus so much on love and sex I thought this would be an interesting starter. So now onto the TMI. If you are joining in the fun, do not forget to let them know you played.

TMI Tuesday #192



1. Would you stay in a loveless relationship for the amazing sex?
No. I have been in relationships with awesome sex and not much else. The lack of the other things makes the connection tenuous which over time, makes the sex less amazing.

2. If you could only have one, which would you choose: love that lasts forever or great, body numbing sex?
I choose everlasting love. As I age, I am sure that age and what it does to your joints will provide the body numbing during sex at some point.

3. Looking back at your past loves, which one should you have married/taken back and who should you have tossed earlier than you did?
I should have kept none of them. They were all experiences that brought me to Hubman. The same with tossing them when I did. It's all part of the learning experience.

4. if you had one last fuck in you where, how and who would you “give it” to?
I would give it to Hubman, of course. But if I could have a group party and share the love and see Hubman getting some quality lovin' too, why not. Ideally it will be when Hubman and I are really old and we are panting and groaning with the other partner going "what? what did you say? or "If we do that position I'll break a hip".

5. Which is more important sex, money, love and happiness? (and no, you can’t pick’em all)
I am going to say love for the same reasons that Hubman did. I hear that money can't buy happiness . However if someone would like to give me a few million dollars to test that theory, I will gladly be your guinea pig.

I also got some cool news yesterday. Hope from Hope Radio sent me the lovely award on your right to thank me for helping her support the troops. I appreciate it, but it makes me feel guilty since I do not do nearly enough to support the troops.

I am thinking that a little blog pimping, a small donation and my weekly participation in Tits for Troops is not enough. So while I go figure out what to do, I hope that some of you visit Hope and read about her work with Lettersforleathernecks. Its a great cause. And if you are feeling so inspired clickity-click on her donation button and give her a little love to help her out.

Happy TMI!!

You'd rather your last fuck be a group thing and not just me and you? Gee, thanks...

Sa said...

Love Hubman's comment. Also, I totally agree about those reality show relationships. Already I don't think I could read my partner's blog without it adding tension to my life so watching and being watched all the time...Shudder.
Hilarious answer about body-numbing sex.

Morning Glory said...

great answers beautiful!

Just me... said...

I agree, the Jon/Kate thing is just sad..
And #2 cracked me up!!
"Cramp, cramp, cramp!!!" :):):)

The Jon and Kate thing is really sad but you are so right no marriage would do good under a spot light all the time.

Your answers are...great :)

April said...

You couldn't be more right about having your marriage played out on national tv being a guaranteed sinker. Every single marriage that's been shown on tv (that I know of) has ended. Jessica Simpson and Nick, Carmen Electra and Dave..both over. Why would you want that? I think it's ridiculous to want to have cameras following your every single move. We all have flaws. But the media makes those flaws into terribleness. It's sad.

Anyway, this: "As I age, I am sure that age and what it does to your joints will provide the body numbing during sex at some point." Cracked me up!

I am not much of a TV watchers I suppose because the kids and the ex-husband was also always hanging onto the remote for dear life, but my daughter is a huge fan of the John & Kate Plus 8 show. Somehow she got me sucked into this show because she would DVR it and watch the shows back to back. You would think that these people are her relations because my daughter is heartbroken that their marriage is falling apart compared to her own parents. Oh well... reality bites at times :-)

Enjoyed your TMI responses...

Emmy said...

I think everyone who has chosen the reality TV route comes out the other side changed - for better and for worse. Wonder how many went into that thinking it wouldn't happen to them?

Great answers!

Poor Hubman.....!

"If we do that position I'll break a hip"

OMG - Still laughing!

I'm not a Jon & Kate fan by any means - I think they're both pretty pathetic, but I also agree that the media and public scrutiny must be unbearable.

i also only know of "jon and kate plus 8" from the unflattering tabloid covers they've both managed to land but i highly enjoyed your discussion of them and i thoroughly agree with you. :)

congrats on the award! i feel the same way; i don't do enough for the troops, but i really can't do much more with the nonexistent funds i have; i have plenty of time on my hands now that i'm on a long hiatus from university but now that i no longer live right next to a military base and have no means of personal transportation the situation gets sticky again.

fun tmi answers too. :)

I had the unfortunate pleasure of watching J&K plus 8 while I was stuck in the hospital (let's not rehash all of that). There are only so many channels on hospital television, ya know.

Kate's a bitch and Jon never stuck up for himself.

When a family on TV (consisting of one kid or 20 kids) you have to assume stuff like this is going to happen no matter how strong ones marriage or family is. They eventually became money hungry and the rest is history...
