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."

Three tough choices left because I think all three of the finalists are really good. If personality were a deciding factor I'd say Joey Fatone should win - he's quite a showman. Laila is just a natural - beautiful and fun to watch and Apollo has worked so hard and improved tremendously - really I'd say any of them deserve to win but I'll put my money on Joey. 
DWTS
Did anyone see the dancing last night? Any predictons for tonight's results? I thought Apollo was awesome on the freestyle.
DWTS!

The ONLY good one was the first one; the second one had some good parts. After that it was all downhill for me. Yawn. Wouldn't you all rather dance than watch? Come on, get out there and quit living vicariously! I bet some of you could dance the sox off those people. Hayseed's man looks like he is ready to go! Hope she has her dancing shoes shined up and her bag packed in case he decides to enter the contest!

Shawn only won because all the young gymnasts voted for her. My daughter (17) is a high level gymnast so we know all the gab boards and they have all been encouraging them to vote. Unfortunately, she is not a very nice person and any of the other 2 would have been better as the winner. They were much better dancers. If anyone here follows gymnastics, Nastia would have been a much better choice as she has the body and grace for DWTS and everyone could have seen what a great person she is. Shawn is very fake and immature. My daughter has a good friend that used to compete with her and she was very nasty to the other gymnasts. Not a side the public sees, however.
DWTS and AI......
Shawn Johnson won the 'Dancin iwith the Stars' competition, although Gilles should have won.
Today Kris won 'American Idol,' but Adam should have won!
Aaarrrggghhh!
Anything beats DWTS - IMO - LOL

Went to the semifinals of DWTS on Monday!
I was lucky enough to snag a pass to Dancing With The Stars on Monday! Wow - what a totally fun show that is! (I am SO addicted!) The dancing is even more amazing in person than it is on TV - those people are unbelievable. I just wish I could go again NEXT week, as well. I think any of the 4 couples could've won, and was sad to see Ian have to leave. Still, my money is on Apolo!
(BTW - it really is TRUE that televison adds 10 lbs... everyone there is considerably thinner than they appear on camera!)
I like DWTS, just haven't seen it enough lately to comment (nm)

I do not watch DWTS but did notice
on the previews, etc. I thought Shawn was what I would call stubby, not graceful at all, I thought sorta chunky myself.
Winner and runner up for DWTS nm

Your comments are appreciated.
I second those comments!
It is like parents with the loudest, rudest kids think the entire world should put up with them. The parents seem tuned out. How nice for them! The rest of us have to be subjected to their screaming, whining, running around tables, kicking the back of the booth, and even pulling of our hair. If you dare say anything the parents look at you as if you are the devil himself. Bring on the animals any day of the week!
Thanks everyone for your comments (sm)
I am taking your suggestions to heart...he has a way of making me feel like everything is always my fault..I am going to call an abuse hotline as well as AA and just talk to them and see what they think. Thanks again so much.
In appropriate comments from
Taking a poll here...how many say something to their MIL if inappropriate comments are made and how many just let it role off their back no matter how hurtful the comments are? and I don't mean the first time a comment is made, I'm talking about repeated, obvious, and sometimes in front of other people putting you on the spot. and I'm talking about a MIL that lives close and cannot be avoided.
Thank you everyone for your comments sm
It helps a lot to be reminded that I am doing the right thing. I think my tendency is to just want to fix everything but this time I can't.
Looking for inappropriate comments? I don't think so! (sm)
Okay......and thanks for your input. I am the OP and I just want for you to know that I think that your comment was a little on the ignorant side. "I am not soooo appalled." I was a little shocked that he cared so much to go out of his way to make sure I found the right size bra. (He walked away from his job to come over to the checkout counter that I was at and felt the need to ask that, even though I was being checked out by a female clerk that was fully capable of making sure that I found what I needed?) Even the female clerk looked at him and said "What are you talking about?" I told her about the bra I returned to his service desk an hour earlier and she said "He is weird. That is none of his business!"
For the record, I receive male attention frequently and I am not easily offended or overly prudish when comments are made to me. This on the other hand was a bit strange.
My intentions were to ask others if they would consider this question to be inappropriate or not if they had been asked the same question under the same circumstances. I am not playing 'poor victim' here as I consider this a minor incident (yet still inappropriate).
In my opinion, it sounds to me like you don't get many comments offered to you and perhaps you would welcome them if you did? (That's what I get from your comment anyways!)
Exactly, Hayseed. Just look at the comments
on here. I feel sorry for her. People go through things like this all the time in life and do some of the things she has done, but they don't have to read about it in the paper the next morning. I think she needs some help and her family really needs to step in. I read an article that the guy she was seeing last said she would curl into a ball after they had s** and would say, why can't they just leave me alone. It's really sad. I don't think she is a bad person, but that she needs help. She's obviously crying out for help and is going through a lot right now. Everyone on here that has been divorced, just imagine everything about your divorce being front page...it's already painful enough without all that. People are cut throat.
You got me!! Even with the comments below, I didnt get it.

Thanks all for the nice comments. Yes
Hayseed, he is a boxer. His name is Dempsey. He is the only thing keeping me sane lately LOL.
smart comments
Me, too. Makes me want to jump in and blast them back! No reason for it.
HA HA HA - loved your comments
Perfect...lmao here....I'm going to cut you off, I hope you believe that. HA HA HA....too funny. I can tell you've got a great sense of humor and also a wonderful outlook on life.
Think I was too harsh in my comments to you sm
I apologize, I am very raw right now from undeserved treatment by DIL so when I saw your posting title, it bothered me. I love my grandkids so much that I would welcome a list of "rules" if one were presented to me. It's too bad she uses the Bible, I have had this done to me more than once by those who misunderstand the good book and use it as a weapon. I certainly would have a heart-to-heart with her, don't lose your temper, and let it be known that interpretation of the Bible is a very private affair and she should never mention demons, bring a Bible to your home, etc., etc. Give her the option of playing by your rules and an option of her only playing children's games, watching a movie, etc., and keeping her opinions to herself. Give her supervised visiting priviliges and then you're off the hook if she doesn't accept. If she persists, then she truly is in need of psychological help which is not up to you to provide. Give her the choice and if she chooses to keep it up, then you'll have no recourse, little kids don't need this. At least you tried, it's her choice to not adhere to your rules, unfortunately, she's missing out on a lot, I wish she could see how lucky she is to be "talked to" and given options. Good luck with it. Hate the sin and not the sinner. I once had to lay down the law with my sister and the Bible. I have made it clear that I won't tolerate Bible talk, she can come any time but the conversation has to be light, not inappropriate, not religious and no politics. It has worked pretty well, once in awhile she has a slip and has to be reminded but we are talking - no religion, no end-of-the world,no Jesus talk, it takes reinforcing every once in awhile. Good luck with it all, it's stressful.
Not sure how to take your comments at this point but (sm)
I don't think I am amazing in any way. I think I had no other choice than to leave and I will probably live the rest of my life on a wing and a prayer.
I didn't see your comments before sm
but it is a subject that has been driving me nuts for several years. I am trying to figure out what happened to decency!
i have already addressed this. they blow those comments off
this was a TEACHER.
I guess I could have stated my comments
a little more detail. Both MIL and DIL like to cook. We always have a wonderful Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner. I guess I was just raised in a family that we had family traveling in to visit, we would do just a little extra. BTW, we actucally have a joint Pizza Hut and KFC restaurant. We call it the Cluck and Hut. That is why I suggested KFC. Doesn't matter now, I got butchered at the beauty shop last night and have been crying ever since. I am not leaving the house for at least 2 weeks.
Where are the nasty comments. just some very strong
opinions that happen to not agree with your opinion. I thought we were all just discussing. So what if someone doesn't agree with my opinion, that's fine. We are all entitled to our opinion and we just have to agree to disagree. Please don't take this so personally. I don't think any of it was aimed at you.
He has made a lot of comments about my weight (sm)
so I have been to self-conscious to be with him. But if he is using my undies doesn't that mean he wants me? Or not? I'm confused.
I can't even deal with these comments. Thx for your concern.
:
I'm giving up negative comments
I'm going to let only positive comments pass my lips, otherwise I will stay quiet. Believe me, the Lord knows what a sacrifice this will be for me.
Her web site asks for comments so
I left her some, none probably she would have liked, but what I and others just like me are thinking. I said, no job, no income, 6 other kids, no real housing of your own, food stamps, why bring 8 more into this world. What were you thinking?
I like Navy. I have had nice comments when I wear it. nm

I'm originally from NJ, and I've endured a lot of comments.
If one more person asks me, "Which exit?" I might run him/her over!
And yes, when I was growing up, it was indeed the Garden State. I grew up running through tomato fields and along corn rows. It was wonderful!
question about rude comments regarding child with dyslexia. sm
my 11-yo DD was spending the night with her friend. she has dyslexia and has ever since diagnosed in 2nd grade. she struggles quite a bit in school. this year she didn't pass the 5th grade because she didn't pass her TAKS test in math (state required to be promoted). i picked her up today from the friend's house and she says so and so's dad told her she was "lazy" because she didn't pass the TAKS test. of course, his daughter is a straight A student without help and is an only child. i am furious at this!! am i wrong to feel furious and how to i address to him that he needs to be cautious as to how he words things and says things to little kids with disabilities? it is enough that they get ridicled and belittled by their fellow students, much less their parents!! i know this will only be the beginning of what she will have to endure as school starts back. i wanted to march right over there and give him a piece of my mind immediately, but thought i would calm down first and see what great ideas you bright ladies have to share so i don't regret blowing off my steam in the wrong way. HELP! never had a child held back before so i know it will be a challenge to get through this for her. 
I read all the comments and I agree with the poster who wrote
'One has to teach people how to treat you' and one has to tell people what is imoportant to oneself.
It is inexcusable not to call or meet one's mother for mother's day and Christmas, etc.....
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
