I believe Simon AND Randy were in shock too!
RANDY PAUSCH DIES sm
If you do not know who he is good his name and watch the video on the Last Lecture. I have his book on order. Had such a great outlook on Live . RIP.
Kara is going to be around
another year, heard just this morning.
Kara is going to be around
another year, heard just this morning.
Kara did this only because she wanted
to 'get back' at this 'bikini girl' who said that Kara's perfomances are not better than hers.
I do not like Kara either, but nice voice!
That was the only part I didn't like. Can't stand Kara.
x
Katie, Kendall, Kara Ann, Kennedy. My name starts with sm
K and so does my husband and son, though I will not say what they are here...:) We are a K family, too!
Of course, being from the south, I LOVE double names like Katie Ann, Sara Grace, Grace Ann, etc. Love it! Too bad I only have boys
Hey Paula
Did you see her reality show Hey Paula? It showed the last time she was on HSN and she was really "loopy", she blamed it on no sleep.
What did you think about Paula's sm
performance last night? With all her back problems she can still move.
Paula on AI
She sure can move, and she looks great, but the sound was over synthesized or whatever you call it. It's the same way Brittany Spears sings. It sounds so mechanical and robotic.
I'd like to do what Paula Deen is doing . . .
Have a successful family restaurant, be on the cooking channel. I'd specialize in vegetarian gourmet cooking.
Paula Deen
I like Paula Deen very much but on the last show I saw she acted like she had had too much to drink. She made punch and she was drinking through a straw out of the punch bowl. At the same time her bird was also drinking out of the punch bowl.
Same here; especially Paula's food...
I say to my husband it's no wonder she looks like that - look what she's making now. lol. I don't care for all that fat either. I looked up her recipes and found chicken pot pie, fried bisquits, deep fried turkey, fried cream corn!, deep fried cheesecake!, macaroni and cheese, fried empanadas with cheese dip! Do people down south really eat like that? I probably eat stuff like that twice a year.
AI Paula's outfit what did you think sm
I thought it was not appropriate for the show. I am suprised no one made a remark on the sho.
Paula Abdul on HSN now....I think she's...
intoxicated. Or is she always like that?
What did Simon say?
I only saw the end of the show last night and missed the rest...what did he say???
Simon
 He is my sweet lhasa-poo!
My dog, Simon,
Lays across my foot, which cramps my style sometimes with my foot pedal, but it sure is nice in cold weather!
Simon
Oh I like Simon for the most part, but he can be a jerk at times. I don't think they should sugarcoat, but he could try not ripping out someone's heart when giving criticism (like that one girl that he told "if it's any condolence you wouldn't have won anyways") I mean that really wasn't necessary! But that's part of the shows ratings!
I can't remember the kids name either, but I thought he was good, and I think he could be marketable if they dressed him up a bit.
Still wish Jamal had made it. And I don't know if I'll ever get over Tatiana's looniness. I still wish Rose had made it, I really liked her, she was original!
Got this from Paula Deen's cookbook--
it is great but only thing I do not like is that it does not reheat well
4 c macaroni
2 c grated cheddar cheese
3 egs, beaten
1/2 c sour cream
4 T butter
1/2 t salt
1 c milk
cook and drain macaroni. combine remaining ingredients, add to macaroni. bake 30-45 minutes. top with more cheese.
I am seriously worried about Paula Deen
Every time I see her on her show, she looks bigger and bigger.
Poor lady, she is so sweet, I really like her show, but she just uses an obscene amount of butter... so so fattening. I don't see how she going to make it, eating the way she does. Yikes.
Everything she makes looks delicious but I know I can't make or eat any of it!
I only watch Paula Dean sm
She is the best. I can watch her show and not get distracted and anxiety-driven like some of the other shows. Rachel Ray drives me nuts with the way she talks with her hands, even on her talk show. Her voice is even annoying. I do like that gal from Semi-homemade, though. She's easy to watch.
I saw on Paula Deen I think that they are injecting
I think it was on Paula Deen on foodtv I saw them injecting melons with vodka/liquor and I thought it was a fabulous summertime idea!!
Paula finally came clean
I saw on the Today show today that Paula FINALLY admitted that she was addicted to pain pills and is now clean. Duh, like we didn't know something was up even when she denied it. She does seem better this year although still annoying.
I used to not like Paula, but compared to Cara,
I love Paula. I hope they get rid of that new judge before the next season... Ugh.
I saw Simon lean over and say something
to Paula. It can't have been good. And Ryan came right out and asked what she'd spent her money on, and she says SHOES! Um, we hadn't noticed the shoes, gal. Not with those balloons popping out of that ugly dress that didn't fit. Money never did buy taste. The voice is still pretty though.
i think iit was all made in fun, and besides if Simon did not like him
he would not be hosting the show.
I think even Simon is getting worried
He said if Sanjaya wins he will quit. He must be getting a lot of votes. Even Howard Stern is pushing people to vote for the kid.
That seems to be what Simon thinks
and I agree they will probably do well. I think the guy in the red/orange suit - lol - will be going home. He was sort of terrible. David is it? The 17 year old. Just how much cuteness can one have? LOVE HIM! But I am just drooling over the guy that sang c'mon baby light my fire and oh yes I definitely would! Is he hot or what? lol. I can't wait to see the girls tonight. I just love this show.
To me, there IS no show without Simon. The other
judges are predictable fluff, but he actually voices a real opinion without holding back, even if I occasionally disagree with him. I think keeping Kara and/or letting Simon leave would seriously screw up the show & make them lose a lot of viewers!
I totally love Paula Dean sm
2:30 and waited for about an hour and a half. Hubby and kids went on siteseeing and I had my son's IPod and also talked to several people in line. (btw, I went in July so it was incredibly hot) you actucally will pass a bar (depening on where you are in line) and there is a sign that says "aren't you glad you can have beer on the streets" or something like that. You can get small cups of water at the check-in window but have someone hold your place in line. I can not say that I would stand in line again. I expected the presentation to be a bit more. Food was good, but not the best I have ever had. If you don't mind waiting I sort of think it is worth it just to say you have been there. Right outside of Savannah is her brother's restaurant "Uncle Bubba's". We loved that. We didn't have reservations but only waited about 20-25 minutes. We also took a haunted tour (kids loved it) this was one that actucally toured a graveyard plus a house. We really thought is was worth it. Also, down by the river the street performers (some, not all) were really quite entertaining. Have a wonderful trip.
Don't care for Paula Dean or Rachel Ray.
I don't like the heavy type of food that Paula Dean cooks. And forgive me, but I find her voice and accent grating on my nerves. I much prefer Giada DeLaurentis. It's nice that the Food Network has such variety. There's something for everyone.

I agree probably to annoy Simon
but it is just not fair to the other contestants who should not be voted off.
I watch the show for the talent, not the fun and games but that is what gets the ratings.
Probably will stop watching if this nonsense continues.
Ryan and Simon are FRIENDS
He wasn't being nasty or rude IMO. In fact, Ryan set him up for that "Come out" comment and he knew it. Might have even been planned ahead of time.
Not sure why everyone else is upset about the comments if Ryan isn't. JMO
Will answer about who cares about Simon
She stated when booted off, "I love you Simon but I really don’t care." She was asked by Ryan what did she say and it was repeated. Well, no one needs to care about Simon unless they want to continue to be on the show, get exposure for their work, land a multimillion dollar contract. Other than that I would say let her go with the wind. I thought she was a real twit. She was really the worst so I can understand her being targeted as votefortheworst, sounds like they picked the right one!
bye bye Chris. Simon was cruel
when he said that Danny beat Chris in the duet. That just did Chris in. He was marked as a defeated man for the rest of the show. Or maybe it was just me.
I like Paula, the media and people make up so much stuff!...nm

The funny (sad?) thing about Simon's comment (sm)
is that Sanjaya thought he was sincerely complimenting him. He didn't seem to understand that Simon was hoping if perhaps he made a positive comment instead of a negative one that Sanjaya might actually get the boot this week. Let's hope it works!
I agree, I'm not really even watching...but what did Simon say to Melinda?
Just curious about that.
Actucally Ryan and Simon's remarks to each other
are just for show. They are actucally very good friends in real life. Not that I necessarily think it is funny, but it is sometimes fun to see someone go after Simon and know they won't be judged (as in the singers).
Don't worry, David A will will, Simon made sure of that.
I was completely disgusted last night, watching them trying to sway the votes. Every single online poll for WEEKS has had David Cook far ahead of the others, so they have to play the BS card last night to make it look like David A. is better so when they fake the votes and he wins, it doesn't look rigged.
I do like David A. but Cook is far more talented and has more range/versitility and appeals to a larger audience. I know he will do well either way, better than David A. in my opinion - but I would love for him to get the recognition of actually winning.
Actually Simon has the nose for real talent
and he is only telling the truth whereas Paula, Kara and sometimes even Randy try to sugarcoat. I totally am fully behind Simon. Danny is good but who was the second guy who sang, slow song and had not seen him before, really good. As far as replacing the girl thrown off, they did not announce a replacement of any kind. I was surprised that Danny's friend did not make it. He is really good, also. I like Danny, think he will go far because not only good singer but also very, very likeable. I was also surprised that lots seemed really nervous last night and I think it showed big time. I think the guys have the girls beat all over the place this time. I think Tatiana is good but might have gotten off on a bad footing with the audience because of acting so looney.
One hour, it's on here now and Simon just made a snide remark about Taylor Hicks
AGAIN! lol Enjoy :)

Normally, this would be something I would try to stay out of, but (sm)
I would think if you called CPS and explained things just the way you did here, they might be able to do something to keep the aunt away, and parenting classes for the parents wouldn't hurt either. I agree with the other poster who said if parents (or you) act first, anything the aunt did at a later time would be considered retaliation. Handicapped parents many times can be the best parents, but it sounds like they do need some help with setting boundaries.
I think I would stay put if I were you. He knows where the
door is and can use it if he chooses. Your first concern has to be your children and you should not have to find a place to live if he is the one who has the problem with you. If there is no adultery involved here, don't rush into divorce. Divorce is painful and can get nasty. Sometimes just being away from each other can "calm the waters" and allow you to make a more objective decision. I speak from experience. My husband and I divorced very hastily when we were very young after less than 2 years of marriage and then remarried, had 2 children, divorced very hastily again and then remarried again. Had I just been a little less in a hurry I could have saved myself a hiney-load of money and a lot of heartache by just being away for a while and then making an objective decision. Instead, I rushed into divorce and paid dearly. 
Stay away from CC....
If you have been having problems meeting the minimum payment on any CC, by all means don't go opening another credit card. Your credit report will be an absolute mess. I know it's 0% interest for one year, but read the fine print - there is usually a fee of some type, plus, can you pay it off in one year before the interest starts up? You never know what will happen in life and you may not be able to make the payments, the rate goes up, and you are in deep doo-doo.
Sallie Mae is high interest, your 401K is better. With 401K you are paying yourself back with interest. It's a no-brainer. No one gets your money but you. Is it possible to borrow again from a 401K if you already have a loan out? Having the money deducted automatically from your paycheck and put back into your 401K is the safest and smartest bet...as long as you have a job.
If you ABSOLUTELY have to have this other loan for $7,000 then the 401K should be your only choice. Can you do without the $7,000 and get back on track before getting deeper into debt - or at least until you pay off the existing credit card?
Why would you want to stay...
with someone who is, as you say, mean? If you are not happy, LEAVE! When you stay you are condoning his behavior. Some women want to be martyrs, others want to live a great life. There are great men out there; wallowing in self-pity does not get you one though.
Well, obviously we don't want to stay
somewhere where there's still a lot of damage. That's why I'm asking for personal experiences, and hopefully recently. We don't want to book a beach house and when we get there find out it's in the middle of a big mess.
stay vs go
First, I am so sorry for your situation...that being said, the kids will definitely pick up on the negative vibes between you and your husband. As far as your question goes, I think only you and your husband can know the answer to that one. Just be very aware of your kids and behavior changes, emotional lability, etc. Trust me when I say, they are not dumb...they will pick up on what's going on, no matter how hard you try to hide it (yes, I'm speaking from experience...). Good luck!
