Sabrina deserved to stay. I don't think Antonella should have made it to the top 24. I think the producers had to know about her background and put her on to give the show more attention (not that it needed any). I agree with the poster from the other day that only two of the winners deserved to win, Carrie and Kelly although I have not purchased anything of Taylors. I have purchased cds by Clay, Kimberly Locke and Josh Gracin and they are all excellent. I even purchased a short cd by Carmen Rasmussen that wasn't too bad. Rubin and Fantasia were not my type of singers. I am sure they have a lot of fans to get where they are but they were not my favorites and I would probably not buy any of their music.

Faith Hill
I was pleased to see a genuine reaction. When they smile and clap for the other person, we all know it's phony - each of them thinks they will win.
As far as Carrie Underwood winning the award, I agree with Faith - WHAT???? She isn't in the same league with the other nominees and had no business being nominated. Just because someone dreams of some thing doesn't mean they deserve to have it. Being the most popular, which is what American Idol is all about, does not mean you have a shred of talent. The song leaders in my local church have more talent than Carrie Underwood.
Anybody see the Faith Hill freak-out on...
I didn't see the show, but saw the video on, what is it, utube or youtube? Anyhow, I googled it and the video came up...can't tell if it's for real or not! If it is, she's a sore loser! 
I think Faith Hill is over-rated
I never did get the big buzz about her. If she weren't married to Tim no one would have ever heard of her. She's an opportunist and looks like a gawky dodo bird. I'm glad she finally got busted for being the insincere phony she truly is.
Faith Hill's only talent is hitchin' her proverbial wagon
She has no more talent than Carrie does. As a matter of fact, Carrie's better and didn't need to marry a big name to break into show business.
First off -- Angels have wings and could
have flown themselves there. Secondly, if they could affrod a motel, they can afford a taxi. Thirdly, why didn't they ask directions at the motel? Why take the chance of not finding someone who could help them when the concierge desk would have the information readily available, would probably have called the taxi for them, and possibly may have had a shuttle service available to take them.
You definitely did the right thing. I'd be more worried about seeing someone else on the news who did give them a ride and ended up dead, rather than feeling guilty.
Haley
Well, Simon said it all when he said she was trying to wear the least amount of clothes that she could. I guess because she can't sing, she thinks you will vote for her legs. But, my favorite is Blake. He is so cool and so talented!
Haley must have
her own fan club in some corner of the world. I don't know how she keeps making it through. I would much rather have Gina in the competition than Haley. Must be all the perverts voting for her skimpy outfits - put on some clothes!!
Haley
I was sorry to see her go. I agree she was wearing ultra short skirts, but she has the figure for it (wish I did) and if I looked as pretty as she does I would show it off too. She isn't the best singer, but some of the better voices have a flat affect if you ask me. Just completely void of emotion.
Best Chicken Wings I have ever made myself (sm)
Go to www.bettycrocker.com and do a search for the recipe called "Engine-revving Chicken Wings". I have substituted bottled Chili Sauce for the cayenne pepper sauce (hot sauce), and I have also substituted pancake mix for the Bisquick, and both come out wonderful especially if you prefer "hot wings" that are not soaking in a lot of grease. My only other tip is when you place your foil-lined baking sheet in the oven initially to melt the butter or margarine, when taking it out before loading it with the coated wings, make sure the you spread the butter around because they may stick. Another tip: You do not have to let these marinade the entire four hours. Sometimes, I have only marinated them for two hours, and they come out great. I also have excluded the onion salt that it calls for - still awesome. 
OK, laugh it up....there is always next year. LOL Go Wings!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nm

Will watch, but no party..maybe some pizza and wings...nm

terry fator or Cas Haley
Both are from my area - so either one will be great.
Time for a long, uninterrupted heart to heart. Sorry to hear
s
I think she sang, gosh can't remember
if she did either. I agree with Simon. The guys just need to hang it up now. Those females are gonna beat their a.....
That song they sang together was outstanding!
I saw Andrea in concert about 2 years ago, thrilling!
I'll never forget when he sang . . .
Ben on the Academy Awards. He was just a little kid, around 14. Boy, he was just stunning. It's a beautiful song but I never heard anyone do that song. Who could pull it off besides Michael, a song about a rat.
I think Blake was the best last night, I'm betting Haley goes home...nm

Barbara Mandrell sang that song. Yes,
it is very common in the south.
Was anyone else amazed when Celine Dion sang with Elvis?
I thought that was simply incredible! A little hard to explain to my daughter though that that was Elvis and he died many years ago!
I just called my friend and sang happy birthday on her lunch hour...sm
Juliet is a kindergarten teacher in NYC...She said, "We just had our Valentine's day cupcakes and pudding, then they went to lunch"...All I could say was "They're not going to gym next, are they?" She said, "Well yeah, that's their next class". I said, "Get ready for a barforama!"....If I hadn't already lived through it I could'nt have said it...Poor Juliet  Cat
Re: Faith Help.
Hello,
Though I have always been a believer (grandfather was a minister), I learned to accept "faith." Faith is not an organized religious system, but in fact just knowing in your heart to trust God at all times..for everything. If you are an atheist, I, too, question why he began dating you. I dated atheists in the past, and it will not work; however, believing in God is another thing. Maybe you have not reached that point where you can learn to "trust" God and have "faith." No, I don't attend church regularly, but do have a lot of "faith" as I have been dealt with by God on this issue. It is truly a matter of "real" belief..just knowing that God is "real." I have been proven to several times in my life that God is real, and that is where my faith in God stemmed.
As for you and your man, if you love him and believe there is no one else to fulfill your life, and he feels the same about you, why would you question him now? Why would you want to break-up? Just have enough faith to know that it will work out in the long run. God is love, and love with overpower all things. If you go to church with him and search out the "faith" not in people but in God, then God will show you that He is real. :) Hope this helps, and hope all things work out for you two.
and some of us are not of that faith too...
We should consider everybody, not just the Christians, but really wouldn't that be the Christian thing to do, to consider EVERYBODY in this life?
*just my take on things*
I am not religious, rather spiritual though and considerate and caring for everybody always and very compassionate. 
I truly have faith and
totally agree with everyting you said. We have a wonderful church family and I do have faith that whatever happens is totally in God's plan.
over the hill
You can't take it with you!
We get our used cars from a broker who goes to car auctions. They are lease or rental returns and you can be very picky about what you want with how many miles, etc. Used cars are becoming scarce in this economy though, so I really would not wait. The broker comes to my city to get the cars, but I do have to drive about 150 miles to his dealership to buy the car. A good broker is worth the drive.
Good luck!
Going to see Tim and Faith tonite
My 19 year old great nephew got tickets for us to see Tim and Faith. It was out of the blue and he said it was cuz I am always doing things for him and his brothers, his Dad is my nephew and they are his kids so great nephew. Made me feel good but it is hard to accept as I know he really could not afford them with going to college and working part-time. Hard for me to accept but easy for me to give. Anyway, going out for some fun tonight. Told him I would buy dinner. He is coming by early to put my new BBQ together and then out we go.
blind faith is EXACTLY what...
God expects. You got it right, believe what you cannot see. Have faith that God will show you the way...IF YOU BELIEVE...you must believe and have complete and total faith in the Lord that he will sustain you. It's not easy, of course, but it must be done...according to God...
Women of Faith
Hi, Country MT - I love WOF. Have been to 2. Really can't pick a favorite; they are all great! Sounds like you are a Christian also - oh, no - will I get in trouble for using that word? By your name, I'm assuming you live in middle of nowhere; I do too. Tiny, tiny town in IL, 400 people max. I love this board. Gives me an outlet when bored. I really should be on working toward the bonus, but it is Saturday, will get to it sometime today.
Over the Hill Party sm
You can have a big bash with old friends from school, stating no gifts, and just have refreshments and put on a favorite football game.You could have a team theme. There are plenty of "over the hill" items around. A few friends or just the family, you can buy napkins, plates, etc., at a party store. Depends on his personality, Spencer Gifts is great for small stuff, but be careful, some of it is adults only. If money is tight, you could do a "Dollar Store Only" gift party which would apply to him. My husband has a terrific sense of humor, so it was easy. He likes to cook, so I bought him a paper chef's hat at a party store and a big frying pan and some oven mitts. I asked others just to bring funny over-the-hill cards only, no gifts. There are tons of possibilities, it depends on his personality. I happen to have one that loves funny gifts and feels embarrased if anyone gives him money or gifts. If he isn't that type, then something more sedate would be in order. The main thing - have fun! If your transcription money is just rolling in - a big TV to watch the game or his favorite show. (That's a joke.)
May be a mole's hill to you but
I hate for my daughter, who by the way suffers from a life-threatening disease, to spend Christmas day alone. Except for a half brother, I am the only family she has. I don't know how it is done in your family, but most of mine usually like to spend that day with family. Thanks anyway for the concern you show.
This should be posted on the Faith board nm

I agree... but that's where faith kicks in
My biggest fear in the world is losing someone I love... and sometimes it hits me that something could happen to me in a split second... accidents happen all the time... but I can't live my life like that I wouldn't be living right!
I frequent the faith board
and I just want to say I agree with you 100%. This woman was irresponsible and is a perfect example of what's wrong with this country. ME, ME, ME it's all about ME. No matter that her poor old parents can't even enjoy a retirement because they have once again been forced into parenthood, but now she wants other people to take from the mouths of truly needy children (and animals!) and give to her brood.
Unfortunately, in saying all this, it is true that the children are innocent and will need to be cared for. I have never had children, so I won't pretend to know how this should be done, but obviously this woman has some psychological issues that need to be dealt with.
And kudos to you for starting an animal rescue! I would love to do that one day, but for now I just give strays a home until I can find them a forever home!
Right now the Fugees/Lauren Hill :)
I love her version of Killing me Softly. If you haven't heard it, check it out. :)

Oh I love Lauren Hill!
First tune I heard of her's, Everything is Everything, it brought out the soul sista in me! Her voice is awesome!
Nothing, live at the top of a reallly big hill
and the kids don’t climb this hill. I am glad because then I don’t have to run every 5 minutes or so to the door. Have done my share in the past.
I can just picture that hill in my mind. LOL! I think
I am going to try that this year. Great idea.
Another good faith based one is Thin Within
you can Google Thin Within on the web also. It focuses on how you feel about yourself. After going through it for the first time I was able to separate ME and how I felt about ME from how I felt about the extra pounds I carry.
I have avoided Weigh Down because I have some issues with some beliefs and practices of the founders, but I have heard it is a well designed and good program.
Ted Kennedy back on Capitol Hill
returning to work 6 months after his brain cancer diagnosis. He looks and sounds great. Good to see him back. He has his wife and dogs with him too.
No problem cashing out. We're "over the hill"
All we have to do is pay taxes on what we take out. We did find a car we would love to own but it's $6000 for a 2003 with less than 100,000 miles on the engine. We probably can't get a car loan but they want $1600 down which would be no problem right now, but we have no idea when he would be going back to work, if he does, depending on highway construction jobs.
We're kinda in a darn if we don't and darned if we do situation. I don't want to take any money from my IRA but there''s not much left after the fiasco that happened. I lost mucho dollars as did he. We will never be able to retire on what's left now.
We're at the age now where we don't pay penalties on any distribution of our IRA so it wouldn't hurt us that bad. We would also pay the taxes on the 20% distribution necessary.
Has anyone tried hose "we can get you a car for less" deals? I thik they are a rip off, but not quite sure. I didn't really get into those sites.
I did the macarena with a stuffed animal sliding down a hill, because I'm NOT crazy!

Global warming - faction, fiction, political, mountain or mole hill
Trying to get a handle on whether people have bought into the global warming thing.
Do you believe it whole-heartedly 100% Gore-ly, or do you believe the scientist who have been studying global warming/cooling.
Also, do you believe a lot of it is politically-oriented.
I think that is entirely up to you. I wish I had followed my heart on that one - sm.
When I was pregnant with my first baby, I worked in a hospital and my co-workers kept telling me don't tell anybody until you know for sure nothing is going to happen and until you start to show. Then everyone said to not buy anything for the baby until you are past 6 months. For the record, I NEVER did start to show, my baby was born at 27 weeks. I bought my baby bed on Friday, and he was born on Sunday. He lived 3 weeks and 6 days. Since his death, I went on to have three more children, and I told the whole world as soon as I knew, and we celebrated from day one. So....please follow your heart.
More so than heart, seems to be
the ribs. I am gonna tell them they have to get to the bottom. Just pain medicine alone not doing it.
My heart goes out to you
and your daughter. Reading your post brought tears to my eyes, as right now my first cat I ever had is suffering from cancer. She is getting so skinny and I know it won't be long before we have to put her down. It makes me cry every time I look at her. She had surgery, but the cancer is already back, so there's nothing else to do for her. That has to be the worst thing about having pets, having to say goodbye. Just keep the memories in your heart and know that you gave her a wonderful life.
Thank you, and my heart wants
to bring in another, but the timing isn't right with me in school and expenses tight after all the vet bills. Besides, Sasha seems to enjoy being the center of attention. I'm thankful we still have her.
my heart goes out to you.
What it means (IMO) is at the least that he has a short fuse, no control of his tongue and not much opinion of himself. Its probably hard for him to hold you or anyone one else in high esteem because he thinks so little of himself. There's no doubt more at play too, but this behavior doesn't mean he hates you. I've been in this similar environment. Learn to love and respect yourself enough that those kind of comments don't devastate you. It takes time and effort. A person of this kind needs to change from the inside out. How long have you been married? I can't help but wonder if there is anything spiritual that you share with him. You can't change him, so concentrate on what you can change (yourself, your means of coping, how you treat your job, relationship etc). It's hard not to be depressed in these situations. I'm sorry he hasn't learned to appreciate you. Stay safe. There are people who care about you! e/m me if you like.
I am so very sorry, my heart is with you.
Sending all kinds of warm fuzzies to you. So sorry this is happening and you have to go through it. Please do one thing. Look in the phone book when he is around BTW for the local domestic violence hotline. It is an 800 number, it is confidential, and you don't even have to give your name. Tell them these stories. They are open 24/7 just to listen. They will make you feel better. Also, please make sure you are safe. Keep a cell phone with you at all times, and your important papers and the childrens' all in one place in case you need them. Do not let him know any of this at all. Also if you don't have your own bank account open one just for you and the children. Dont let him know. Also, please have a safe place to go. The hotline will describe all these things to you. They also will suggest a local center you can go just to talk someone, as often as you would like to go for free. He does not have to know that either. I am not saying this so that you should be secretive. I am saying so that it will not trigger his anger and the circle of control. Like I said, stay safe, call that hotline ASAP and listen to them and the outpatient counselor. I have been through it. You need people to love you and make you feel worthwhile again and soon you will have the strength to see why this is happening and how to stop it. Please call them and let us know here you are okay.
My heart goes out to you . .
and your husband. Best to get professional care as soon as possible. Get to the PCP and then a thorough workup and mental assessment. This could be any number of things - stress, a medical condition, a mental condition. Just the other day I read something that was fascinating. I read about a woman who was having trouble with her husband who was 60. His behavior was getting odd, and strange. After much workup he was diagnosed as having Asperger's, this coming after a full functioning life. I found this quite interesting. Get help and keep us posted. You are in my prayers.
My heart goes out to you.
They give such unconditional love, even those moody cats darn it! So sorry about Sixer. :(
My heart goes out to you.
It sure sounds like you are doing the best you can do. This economy right now is the pits, and it makes everything so much harder. Have you checked to see if any medical insurance is available through your state? Here in my state, Washington, we have an insurance program that you can qualify for if you meet income guidelines. I would sure check into that. If you don't keep your health, then you will have a much worse situation than you have now.
My heart really goes out to you...
When my 2nd son was in school, he was misdiagnosed with a learning disability and placed in an inappropriate classroom. I know what you are going through there.
Do you live in the South? The reason I ask is because my kids were all born and raised until early teens in New England. They had wonderful schools and understood ADD (which is what my son has). He was not put into a special classroom, he was just taken out occasionally for extra help. Nobody he was in class with knew where he went or what his "diagnosis" was.
Then my husband was transferred to Florida and what a HUGE difference in schools! The people in Florida, just wanted to label my son and put him in exclusive "special ed" classes only! There is nothing wrong with my son other than he has short term memory problems. But this school system created more problems for him than you can imagine! He was devastated and has really never been the same since that horrible experience.
My 3rd son has ADHD and when we moved to Texas a few years later, he had an even WORSE experience. Not only did they label him, but the teachers openly taunted him in class. He got "written up" for typical childish behavior, nothing out of the ordinary, they just stayed on his back constantly. They treated him like he was retarded.
I wish they could see him now - he is ready to graduate in May at the top of his class. He has completed 4 years of the Air Force junior ROTC and has already been accepted into a very difficult school to get into. I would just love to go back and show them how he turned out - in spite of their labels.
I don't think your school district can prohibit you from accompanying your child to school if you want to. I don't think that's legal, but I would check into it.
Good luck to you and if you just need someone to talk to who has been through the same things, feel free to e-mail me.
