He came to our town several weeks ago to help kick of the Toys for Tots campaign. Some of that will be featured on his show today.

I like her far better than Phil.....nm
What would Dr. Phil say?
We teach people how to treat us, so stop telling people to treat you like a doormat. I know this can be very hard to change, but I did it myself a few years ago with my own situation. People were not happy at first, but guess what? They got over it and now I am treated the way I deserve. Life is too short for this stuff! Best of luck to you.
I think it is Dr. Phil who says
that use of sarcasm and lack of respect for ones spouse is the biggest risk factor for divorce.
It sounds like your husband thinks he is a lot smarter and busier than you are, so he's saying you are taking up too much of his time or take too long to say things that he already knows or aren't of any importance.
So he is definitely not your friend and he won't even pretend to respect you. He yells in anger. Your children are witnessing all of this.
(He'd fit right in at Dr. Phil's Man Camp).
Talk to your pastor or other counselor at church and ask them what to do. You need counseling to repair your self-esteem, and he definitely needs Christian counseling, because he is not treating you the way the Bible tells a man to treat his wife.
Punxatawney (?sp) Phil
didn't see his shadow - spring is just around the corner!
I would think Dr. Phil & Oprah would have
covered these topics. They might even have that sort of information on their websites. Your mother might believe them over these men. Or undoubtedly Reader's Digest. If one of my parents were acting like this I'd seriously think they were getting something like Alzheimers, losing their good judgement.
I don't get to watch Dr. Phil much, but I did --sm
happen to see the same show you are talking about. It was VERY eye opening. I felt so bad for the woman who was involved with this scammer. It is much the same as women who get *involved* with men in prison. All these men want is money and they do not care who they get it from.
Even if the mom has no money, he does not care. His *anger* is just a ploy to make her feel guilty. I can guarantee that he has no son, he is not who he says he is, and he is probably in the middle east somewhere, as I do believe the man on Dr. Phil was in the middle east and tried to pass off his accent as from somewhere else. Please don't be too hard on your mom. She is vulnerable and *love smit*, but she needs to know the truth. Perhaps contact the Dr. Phil show and they may send a tape of that show, or he may have some personal advice for her. Good luck.
You need Dr. Phil, not a bunch of MTs.
Your husband has big problems.
Have you been on Dr. Phil? I swear I saw this on his show.
Stand up for yourself. Stop caterting to this man. Give him a dose of his own medicine. Do for only you and your children, and I mean, cooking, cleaning, etc. And if your family likes him, so what, they dont have to live with him.
anybody looking forward to todays Dr. Phil???
cant wait, mine comes on in 1 hour...central time..
Dr. Phil would say to lock the door.
If they knock, you ask if their hair is on fire. If it's not, then you tell them it can wait.
He's actually talking about interruptions of something else, but I thought of his advice anyway.
No experience at all with this, just what I saw on a Dr. Phil one time -
He said when you can walk away knowing you have turned over every stone you could and feel that nothing else can be done and you have no regrets whatsoever, you are ready for a divorce.
Not the OP, but I can't stand Oprah or Dr. Phil and

Dr. Phil had a segment on this yesterday sm
He had a segment how wrong it is to do this to your children. It was his first show he ever did. He said the mom is doing so much better since his show. He is bringing back some of his most favorite shows.
Dr. Phil DID cover this very topic a few months ago...
and there was a guy who supposedly went to Africa and needed all this money to eat, get out of prison, get home to see this woman he was chatting with and told he loved so much. She fell for the whole thing until Dr. Phil exposed the whole story on his show and had other women there who had also fallen for this guy and sent him money. I don't know if you can get a DVD of the show or not, but it might be worth it to try.
votefortheworst.com now is encouraging votes for Phil.

Eek, can't stand Phil and his googly eyes.
Phil Spector murder trial. Anyone
been watching that on Court TV? Don't you think Phil Spector, with his "new hair do", looks like Pee Wee Herman???? LOL.
They have been off for the past 2 days due to one of the defense lawyers having to go to the hospital. Kind of interesting to watch trials on T.V.
Don't care for Phil or Oprah, never watch them. nm
s
Phil Spector did an album many moons ago with SM
the Ronettes, Shirelles and others, in that great Phil Spector way, which is my favorite. All good songs, Frosty the Snowman, Winter Wonderland. Makes me feel happy.
Yes, I know Phil is nuts, but the album (cd) is great.
If it were me, I would go to Dr. Phil Mcgraw web site and email him. See what he would suggest.
.
Agree with you, and what's up with Phil Stacey's eye brows? Creepy! nm

Any GH fans??? If so,
who is Maureen?
Hey N/T fans
I haven't asked in a while. What did you all think of last night's episode? It's getting really weird, weirder than usual. I was actually grossed out quite a bit last night, but there were moments when I laughed out loud.
N/T Fans
Any Nip/Tuck fans out there. It starts on Tuesday. Have you seen the previews. It looks like it's going to be an incredible year. The previews look great. I can't wait until next week.
Hey N/T Fans
What did you think of the season finale last night? The ending had me laughing. Boy is Teddy weird. I never would have guessed it. I actually felt sorry for Kimber, and I'm not sure why. I just don't like the fact that we have to wait until 2010 before we have a resolution. Do you think Christian is going to tell Liz the news? I have my doubts.
Any NFL fans out there?
I have been a Minnesota Vikings fan since I was old enough to understand what a first down was. I was around 8 years old and it was in the mid 70's and they were good. Didn't hurt that my dad was a Vikes fan and they wore my favorite color. Tarkenton was a blast to watch, constantly eluding defenders. We had our Purple People Eaters (Page, Eller, Larsen and Marshall) who ate up defenses. These were the days where you could actually touch the QB and almost rip his head off without getting flagged.
Of course, The Vikes were always the first team to do bad things:
1. First team to lose 4 Super Bowls.
2. Only team to have a D-lineman pick up a fumble and run it to the wrong end zone, scoring a safetly for the other team.
3. First team to go 15-1 and not make the SB (thank you Pittsburgh - we no longer stand alone).
4. First team to score most points in a season (556) and not go to the Super Bowl).
5. First and only team to trade away 17 players/draft picks for an over-the-hill Herschel Walker who did nothing for our team.
The list goes on, but you know what? I've been with this team for 32 years and will be back for a 33rd. I must either be mentally ill or a masochist.
BTW, I'm going to see them play in Cleveland on Sept. 13. I've seen them 4 times live and I've had 2 wins, 2 losses. All were preseason games. This will be my first regular season game. And yes, I'll be dressed in full Viking regalia. I've seen then at Fawcett stadium against the Seahawks in the HOF game, twice at Foxboro against the Patriots and once at the Meadowlands against the Jets and I'll tell you what - the Jets were some extremely rude fans but from what I hear, they don't hold a candle to Giant, Philly or Raiders fans.
Any other pro football nuts?
Oh, and though I rarely get into college games, I now root for Ohio State since my nephew goes there.
We are NFC fans - Eagles, but sm
I am really rootin' for the kid (Manning). What a game! His father must be so proud. He deserves a chance. Those Patriots were certainly speechless. Love a great competitive, action-packed football game.
AI Fans...what did you think of the *new* Sanjaya?
WOW! I'm speechless. lol
Any fans of The Apprentice out there? sm
What did you think about the overall season? I didn't like how they showed very little of the teams at work on each task, had increased product endorsements and at the end did not have a final task for the last 2 candidates. I do think that Stephanie & James were the best 2 to be there in the end. I thought he would pick James since he had been the project manager so much but think Stephanie will do a fine job for him. Also did you pick up on his telling Nicole on the last night that relationships had to come behind working for him? Gees - what a jerk!
Well Idol Fans............
If anyone is voting for Blake after tonight's performances, you need to have your head examined! No comparison. Vote fair
You all must be Dexter fans! LOL!
xx
Any other Bob Dylan fans out there? If so (see msg)
can you name one of your favorites by him? I must have dozens of favorites, but I would have to put Lilly, Rosemary and Jack of Hearts right at the top five. I also love Forever Young. Birth name is Robert Zimmerman.
for all you baseball fans out there...sm
Boston did rather well...At any World Series ya get a really exciting experience, especially if you're in the nosebleed seats. Cat

Fleetwood Mac fans
This is a Valentine special for Fleetwood Mac fans and acoustic guitar lovers - Lindsey Buckingham performing Big Love.
If the link doesn't work, copy and paste - it is worth it.

Survivor Fans????
What'd you all think of that blindside tonight? I loved every minute of it. While I'm not a fan of Natalie, I don't much care for Eric, either. I'm pulling for Amanda, but unless she wins immunity, I don't think Parv and Cerie are going to take her to the final 3.
This has been the best season yet of Survivor. The blindsides have been awesome! I still can't believe Eric was that stupid to trust 4 women.
Any TrueBlood (HBO) fans?
The first time I caught the show I didn't like it, then one weekend I had nothing to do so watched all the episodes (HBO on demand), now I love the show. I just found a clip of an interview with the guy who play Jason (Sookie's brother). He's hot in the show and what a cutie (Aussie) in real person. Seems like a truly genuine nice guy (which is rare in Hollywood). If your interested I'm posting the link below.

Any other Maroon 5 fans out there?
I took my 16 year old daughter to their concert this summer and came away a bigger fan than she is! Their music talks to me in a way no other has since the 60s (would you believe I'm 56?). Now I devour everything I can get my hands on about them. Great, great band!
AI fans- Who is going home?
I am not fond of Matt and wanted him gone the 1st time.
Any Cavs fans out there??
Going to the game tonight and cannot wait! I just hope I can stay awake as tip off is not until 8:30 and after a full day of work, kids and then a 3 mile run I am pooped by then! GO CAVS!!!!!!!!

Bachelor Fans........Sadie or Jen?
I hope it's Sadie
Rude Bears fans
Some of my friends went to the Saints/Bears game and were amazed and ashamed for the rudeness of the fans. He is a high school football coach so he has seen some team rivalries some severe, but never like this. Being booed, being followed and surrounded in the bathroom, etc. Terrible and shame on the people of Chicago
Any country music fans out there?
I have just recently started listening to country (I love just about all kinds of music except rap) and I totally love the song and video from Gretchen Wilson "Come to Bed" almost makes me want to pick a fight with my hubby.
Any other LOST fans? spoiler
DH and I enjoy Lost, and record it with DVR so we won't miss it. Did anybody see tonight's show? They sure misled us with the promo. Do you think both the man & woman just mostly dead? Because that man could have been bitten thousands of times, right? And he should have recovered sooner ...
American Idol fans.....sm
Did you laugh at Simon's comment/mannerism over Sanjaya last night? I about fell off the sofa laughing.
Best talent last night: Lakeisha & Melinda.
Most improved now they're singing the right kind of songs for their voice: Gina.
Your thoughts?
Any ER fans out there? What did you think of last night's cliffhanger? (sm)
I'm thinking they could cancel this show now and have done with it. I've watched this show since day one and this is the first time I've come to the end of the season and not really cared if it came back next year. There are no solid characters left to care about. Abby and Luka are married but Luka will only be in a handful of episodes next year. Personally, I wanted Neela with Ray because, as far as I'm concerned, she has NO chemistry with Tony. There are NO major players to carry this show through another season. Archie and Hope are cute but not solid enough. Pratt is just there. So who does that leave?
Y&R Fans -- Nick is alive! :0)
Wonder what the story line will be now? I was hopeful that they didn't kill him off for real.
Okay, how many of you Dylan fans remember SM
Positively Fourth Street? Now that really goes back. No one could have said it quite like he did in that!
Grey's Fans - anyone else stumped?
I just don't get the whole George-Izzie-Callie triangle. George only had eyes for Meredith for so long before he got together with Callie. There was no hint of him having any kind of feelings for Izzie besides friendship and then all over a sudden, after one drunken encounter, they are each other's everything. LOVE the show, but I'm not buying it. On the other hand, loved Derek's little speech to Meredith at the end of the show this week.
Any comments from DWTS fans?
I missed a bit of yesterday's Dancing with the Stars finale show, but looks like Helio and Julianne overall had the strongest performance.
What happened to Mel and Maks' freestyle? They were like kinda deflated or something.
IMO, Marie and Jonathan usually come up with pleasant surprises, but last night's freestyle was a real puzzler - I am not sure why Jonathan would agree to choreograph such a cutesy (yawn) routine when the competition is so fast and fierce. Marie was a bit too vocal with the judges...after all, they are the "experts."
Any Nascar Fans? Question
I got a jacket at a yard sale, still has tags on it. It is a Nascar jacket for Dodge/Havoline/Texaco with the initials BP on it. I am not a Nascar fan, but am trying to figure out which driver is (was) BP. I have tried Google w/o much luck. TIA
