that they didn't mention which team made the most sales like they always do - and even though the guys did the absolute worst job with their "sales trailer" they won? It was obvious to my husband and myself that Gene Simmons really ticked off the Kodak people by not coming to their meeting and then the 2 gals he sent irritated them - so probably no matter what the other team did Kodak was determined to not let him win. Plus Gene basically had his adult version of a temper tantrum at the end of being mad that Kodak didn't name him the winner and therefore he named 2 people that weren't a problem with the challenge to take to the boardroom to make Donald fire him.

Celebrity feud . . .
I enjoy a bit of controversy, but does anyone else think Donald Trump is making way too much over Rosie O'Donnell's remarks about him? What do you think? Is Rosie on her way out?
celebrity privacy
I was once the personal secetary/traveling companion of a famous female author/lecturer who shall remain anonymous. My main job was to keep people away from her so she could focus on giving her talks, signing books, etc. I never in my life saw so many people do such strange things to get to a person just for an autograph or to be able to say they "saw her up close" or "touched her" and all that. And now with cell phones that take photos -- who knows what people would do to this celeb. Take pictures of her or her chart, say she told them this or that, etc. Sell the stuff. If they keep her away from people, there can be no chance of false rumors and possible law suits, etc. in the future for alleged or proven this and that.
The one I worked for --she and I had to HIDE on many occasions to escape people so that we could eat or even just rest. It made for a fun and interesting job but as a celeb, you just don't get privacy often. People follow you everywhere -- it was a pain at times and kind of spooky too to see just how far people would go.
I can understand all these measures. I have not kept up with her story; really do not know much about her, but if she is ill these policies sound very good for her. I would want the same for my former boss if she were still alive. She'd want it too, believe me.
once you are of celebrity status, your business....

Apprentice
I loved this show when it first started. I used to be glued to each and every episode but this season I couldn't be bothered. Trump has gotten on my last nerve lately and the candidates this season just didn't hold my attention. Then putting his kids in the boardroom didn't sit right with me either. I tend to like Mark whatshisname though - the guy who thought up all these shows (Survivor, Apprentice, etc.) He is very creative.
Apprentice
I got a little bored with this season's show. The business of the losing team having to live in a tent was just ridiculous. They were professional people interviewing for a professional position. What does a tent have to do with that! The winning project manager holding on to that position was unfair, too. Some of them never got to show their leadership abilities. I do think Nicole and Tim should have put their personal stuff on the backburner. They were there to land a job and it was not too smart to let the potential employer see how personal issues could interfere. Trump has been considerate of family obligations in the past but that wasn't the case in this new lust affair. I was surprised about no final task, too. Being PM for so long, I thought James had it wrapped up, but in the finale Stefani really seemed more professional. She had the best credentials and deserved to win. Whew, I can't believe I got this involved in a show I was bored with!
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!
American Idol, Apprentice, etc.--sm
I am tired of the diatribe about all these shows. There should be an *entertainment* board on here where people can discuss these shows without making those of us who could care less about them ill. JMO
And Thursday night is safer than Friday night - how?
We used to live in a town that was once in the Guiness Book of World Records for number of churches per capita (which by the way was the worst place I've ever lived - discourteous, Nazi schools, etc.), and they wouldn't let us trick or treat on Sundays. Ridiculous! People can say what they want but celebrating Halloween doesn't make you a devil worshiper! Just my 2 cents!
And if you take notice...
a lot of these posts just prove my point..
If you notice...
The OP is nagging on a few different boards here, trying to stir the pot. Ignore crabby patty.
Well at least he took notice!
I could have changed my hair to purple and my ex wouldn't even have noticed. Maybe that's why he's my ex! LOL.
and did anybody notice
as long as you are up, you might as well go to the bathroom and now you find you essentially have retrained your bladder?
Pet Notice
To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door, at pet nose height.
Dear Dogs and Cats:
1. The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
2. The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
3. I cannot buy anything bigger than a king-sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
4. For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob, or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years-- canine or feline attendance is not required.
5. The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
6. To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'niture.
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, they are an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Did anyone ever notice...
…on the television talk shows whenever a dietician is on they are always skin and bones? I would like to be slimmer but not look anorexic.
Yah, notice it is a BOY she is breastfeeding...anyone think about that?
LOL
I was so emotional did not notice and SM
made mistakes in mine as well. No problem. I think we got our point across. I wish you and me could team up and wipe some of the needless suffering and abuse out. 
No, but I got a notice saying I don't get a check!
I'd like to tell them what they can do with their "stimulus" package.
I didn't notice that in the pictures.
I think she actually looks like ZsaZsa Gabor's husband, the prince. lol. I don't think it is Larry B's baby, for some reason I just don't. And if not, I'd really feel bad for him but he should not be jumping the gun considering how many men she supposedly slept with.
But did you not notice, the neck issue
was resolved because the show had fixed her hair in a more becoming manner than did not expose her neck like when she first came on. I noticed the same thing at first but then here at tne end, not sticking out like a sore thumb.
You know what's sad? A lot of people won't even notice the mistake!
I see that one all the time. And my other pet peeve is 's added to make a noun plural.
Here's one that glared at me when my kids were little and attended a Catholic school. The children were in a big procession walking behind their school banner when I noticed it. The name of the school was Our Lady Help of Christians School.
Yep! The banner was printed as Our Lady Help of Christian's.
Back in the days when nuns were teaching in the schools, someone would have gotten a good whack on the knuckles for that one!
Nah, I wouldn't. I notice those things too but...(sm)
I always just let it go.
LOL I didn't even notice the site, just the pic!! NM

I didn't notice her clothing, just her
seal clapping.
I've notice that trend
Girls can't sew even enough to mend, guys don't have a clue about jumping a dead battery or towing a car out of a ditch (heaven forbid changing a tire), and nobody knows how to drive a stick shift any more! Everybody has to call a professional to do the simplest things, it getting pretty creepy! And if its not electronic, nobody wants one, presumably because its soooo difficult to read numbers that a needle is pointing to! I went shopping for a plain old indoor thermometer and could not find a single one that wasn't digital and ran on batteries - even for CAMPING they have digital compasses! - what if your battery died out in the wilderness?
It seems like our focus is on playing with new entertainment gadgets and we totally ignore the need to learn any type of practical skills. I'm 49 and I'm pretty scared that by the time our generation dies off, everyone will be so dependent on gadgets they would be entirely helpless if the power plug got pulled. Its got to be pretty expensive to call a seamstress, or a tow truck, or a carpenter for the simplest things (or simply toss the malfunctioning item), but that's what the following generations will be in for, once the old folks are gone. Nobody is interested in taking care of themselves, its all about what's convenient and easy. Its pretty sad that with our amazing access to internet information, we are learning less and less and consuming more and more, stuffing our landfills with things we are too lazy/incompetent to fix, things that would be a treasure trove of good usable items for our thrifty, well-rounded grandparents!
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.
Got an eviction notice today.
My paychecks have been so small for the last couple of months. I have not paid my rent for this month and already have a dispossessory notice.
I just moved into this apartment at the end of last month because it was less expensive than the place I lived before.
Sad.
Ever notice that if you do 2000-3000 lines a day...sm
that people don't want to believe you? I transcribe 2800-3000 lines a day in an 8 hour shift, 65 character line. I've been in the business 27 years, type 150 wpm and pretty much keep up with the dictators speed. Some folks try to accuse me of sneaking in lines outside of my shift to make myself look good... but these are people that typically type 60-80 wpm, stop every few minutes to take care of kids, neighbors deliveries, etc. and wonder why they can't meet minimum production standards.
Does anyone else notice a lot more hair shedding right now. It this seasonal or whatever. It seems
be worse when I wash it then when I brush it.
Catlady is right. I notice that even with food my cat LOVES, and even when she is hungry, (sm)
she will often look at a bowl of freshly-put-out food, and then walk away from it. This happens more often if the canned food has been in the fridge & is a little cold. I think the main reason she does it, though, is because if I'm up and walking around, then she thinks there is a possibility I might want to play. Play is more important to her than food! If she sees that I'm occupied with something else, (like working...) then she eventually saunters over to her bowl & starts to eat. Also, cats usually won't eat it all at once. They tend to keep going back to "nibble" for hours. So don't remove it if she doesn't dive into it right away. As Catlady said, let it sit, and eventually she WILL eat.
Does anyone else notice when you work too many days in a row you lose your focus or something. nm
:
I did notice that but I hate to put my SS number on the internet. I know they said it is secure but
how secure is anything. I just wondered if anyone could give me an idea of the length of time it takes. Thanks.
Well I got a notice from the IRS that I could expect my stimulus check by May 30 and I didnt
get it today. I will get mine by mail. I wonder how far off it comes from when they say it will come.
Burn Notice starting it's new season on Thursday
that is one fine man.... yummy...oh, yeah, love the show, too.
Sounds like the daycare worker is telling you what you should notice
This is not being a busybody but a change and she is asking if something might be changed in the home. I think she is entirely in her right and should ask questions and you should not be paranoid in thinking she is asking about you. This is a crying child who is acting out of the ordinary and you ought to thank her and find out why the 3 is crying so much.
I'm specifically AVOIDING splitting hairs, if you'd notice. sm
I'm saying what my opinion is regarding the viability of an embryo (as post-implantation), but perfectly willing to grant that it might be pre-implantation as well.
??!!
Does anyone notice you seem to lose more hair with washing and blowing dry than just brushing other
days.
Just checked my receipt from Sunday...0.69/pound. I didn't even notice.
I honestly don't know what is normal for bananas here (FL). I keep track of other items, but not bananas. You've got me curious now, though.
Burn Notice, Army Wives, Closer, Saving Grace

I had the same thing the night before...last night though (sm)
made teriyaki chicken and macaroni and cheese from a box. Tonight is chicken and rice. Tomorrow night is leftover teriyaki chicken :-)
Yes, I used to take 20 mg at night
and this worked very well for me. I also felt a little out of it for the first week or so, but give it time to work as I didn't notice any changes until about 3-4 weeks after taking it. I'm sure you know this, but don't stop taking it altogether without weaning because I actually ran out of it once for about a week and I had really bad symptoms of withdrawal after the second day.
Hope it works for you! It really did help me a lot, and I got to a point where I didn't need it anymore.
Do you take it all during the day or only at night?
I took that 1/2 a tab this morning and fell asleep on the couch after lunch. Ended up oversleeing for my 2:00 shift. Don't want to do that anymore.
I'm sorry about what happened to you. That would be freaky to have someone jump out in front of your car like that.
I only take it at night. I take it about 35 min. before I go to bed. If I were to take it during the

An Okay night, Me2!
At first when I went to bed I was freakin' out! I did not sleep that well, but them drifted off. I think maybe when Hermie comes home at night (He works at home, but has a job a few evenings second shift) when he check his mail he leaves the front door open. I think that is how they get in! He said he had three in about 5 years!! See my post about Hermie. I'm havin' some unsavory thoughts! HAAAA!
Yes, the party was a smash hit. My precious growled at me when I acted like I ws gonna take her new rope toy. I heard this little ERRRRRR under the table and cracked up. She loves to jump up on my lap about 500 times per visit, but last night those jump-ups were rather limited. She was GUARDING HER TOY! Every time she jumped up I could see her looking to the side with her big eyes watching the toy on the floor! 
I will try to enjoy my day. Some days I am not really up for just being alone and doing errands, but today I am. I need to relax. I have had so much pain lately again. I am glad we are email friends and sure wish we could get together sometime. Do you enjoy watching the agility trials and dog shows? I wish I knew of a place when it gets cooler to do to just take a lawn chair and watch these fabulous dogs perform for the crowds! I don't know if I told you before, but I went to Westminster with my niece and friend in 2006! What a thrill! I wrote a song and sang it on CD and took along and gave it to David Frei. I sure wish you could hear it! About a month ago I wrote another song about a dog show, but I really don't want to go to the expense now to find someone to play for me and put it on CD.
Have a great day, and read my Hermie post. You might smile. IT IS ALL TRUE, so help me TYNE! 
N/T Fan, what did you think about last night?
Loved it, but poor Christian, feeling so left out. But still up to his old ways. I didn't like what he did at the end.
Linda
We did that last night
We had pancakes and bacon.
When I was a kid we did that every Wed. night
That was our FAVORITE dinner! Scrambled eggs, bacon and toast! I still do that now, though not as often. I get hungry just thinking about bacon.
COF night
We do a COF night - clean out the fridge - where we just warm up all the leftover from the meals during the week. Usually was something leftover from every meal or frozen in containers to just microwave as all it takes is adding a bit to the weekly meals. Everyone seems to like it and finds plenty - just get out some applesauce or fruit to add and we are good. Sometimes throw in a batch of cornmeal muffins.
We have it almost every night unless
We've been married for 16 years. I don't know what the average is, but I guess you have to really want it.
AI last night
I was very happy with last night's outcome. I love Adam and I think Allison is amazing for being so young. Not too sure about Chris. I really don't like the way they're doing the voting at all this year, though because I thought there were more than 3 that should have gone through this round and last round. It will be interesting to see who their wild card picks are going to be. Did you know that Clay was a wild card and he ended up coming in second and being pretty successful.
Well, how did you like last night?
I think the final 13 are about the best I have seen in several years now. Started off with a bang. I loved Danny, Lil and dog it, cannot think of the other's names yet. The group really is hot. I am glad to see it back as a contest of singing, hopefully not a contest of who is the most popular. This is a good group to choose from.
AI last night
I thought most of them did an awesome job. I did miss a few, but my favorites so far are Adam, Danny, Matt, Lil Rounds and Alexis, although I do think the judges were right last night and she was a little too over the top. Now what do you think about what they said last night about the big change? I was a little worried at first, but then on The View, Elizabeth was thinking that maybe it has something to do with the way the votes are done this year. She thinks that maybe the judges will have a say this year and not just the voters. If that's the case, I may like it. That way if America votes off someone and the judges think they were wrong, they can keep them. Not sure if this is what it is or not, but it made sense -- don't make it a popularity contest, but a real competition. She likened it to Sanjaya where he basically stayed because he was so popular.
