and landed on Oprah. Was shocked that some of the younger girls said Rhianna deserved being beaten because she hit him first and he was just defending himself. Did not see any photos of his beaten/bloody face on TV!!!
This is so shocking. With this kind of attitude it is not suprising that it is so hidden and shameful in this day and age.

What is switching? Does switching leave welts on the body? sm
Is it painful? Seriously. What do you use? The paint stirrer (small, wooden stick), does nothing to him except make me mad and him more rebellious. I'm so afraid. I don't want to hurt him. I really don't. I'm so confused, upset, weak, tired, and wanting to give up.
I agree - the switching idea is HORRIBLE. When I was a child the kids who got switched

yes, I agree, this is it for me, 8 free channels....nm

I agree and I prayed for them yesterday when this first happened--sm
The media is going to have a field day with them really soon and that is not fair. The boy did not even live with them. thank you for adding your prayers.
Switching to DSL
I'm moving and the new place has DSL. I have always used cable high-speed. For those of you who have experience with both, can you tell me if DSL is a downgrade? I'm concerned about my production going down because of a slower connection. I know DSL and cable have comparable connection speeds, but I think DSL is significanly slower in transfer rate.
If I'm wrong, straighten me out. Tks for all input.

huh? switching went out in the 1950s!!!
OMG!!!
Have you tried switching feet?
I switch back and forth between left and right foot on the pedal to alleviate discomfort and have found it makes a big difference.
Try switching the food and see what happens. Process of

Here is a funny pertaining to switching to digital TV in February
http://www.hulu.com/watch/36608/talkshow-with-spike-feresten-cable-psa#s-p1-st-i
Wow! 9 TV Channels
We had 3 back in the 50s and 60s. When DH and I moved out of town, we had 2 antennas, 1 for the 1 channel, and the other for 2 other channels. It wasn't until the mid-70s that cable came to my neck of the woods. Wow - 9 channels! We were in heaven.
Yes, I saw the her on one of the Health Channels also nm

Yep, some channels not carrying
The shopping channels, HSN, QVC, animal channel, food network, try those.
I am really amazed at the news channels
I don’t care where the news breaks, your major channels such as Fox and CNN have the news crews out and bringing us the latest as it happens almost. There is a tornado that has just touched down in Arkansas and warnings throughout the southeast. If I ever get breaking news on another channel I turn to these because I know cameras will already be there. I think they do a great job!
When I was growing up we had 3 channels but guess what?
I find it tremendously funny when yu0o say a trial shoved down your throat. I have cable and have, oh, over 100 channels. No show is ever shoved down my throats, we just, duh, change the channel or just DON’T watch!!!
Odd question about local channels...
Okay so here's my scenario:
I live out of town. I have to have directv because we are too far for cable. Supposedly we cannot get our local channels through Directv, but antennas are going obsolete in February. So, how do we get our local channels?
I mainly want to be able to know about the weather, especially when its bad since two years ago we had tornadoes that wrecked the area and The Weather Channel said we had scattered thunder storms!
I have Direct TV and get local channels...
call them and find out if they are available in your area. I also get the network feeds from New York and LA, which is especially great to be able to watch things 3 hours earlier (I'm on the west coast) and I can still be in bed by 9!

ioops - meant channels, not stations LOL
Saw a 'special' on one of the food channels on meatloaf a while back
and apparently bread crumbs/oatmeal used to add moisture so meat will not dry out during cooking - guess I realized this but never thought about it actually. I make a Mexican meatloaf using crushed tortilla chips, taco seasoning, eggs, taco sauce or salsa. Good luck on yours - sounds yummy!
I hate that commercial, I have to change channels every time. nm
Will impending writers' strike affect cable channels?

I just got this new Dog yesterday
I just got this new Dog yesterday. She is so cute and good but is not trained yet. How do I get the dog to go to the door to let me know she needs to go potty? She is a sweet and very mild girl, gets along well with the cats and hardly barks. We only had two minor accidents yesterday. I could really use some tips. Thanks in advance.
Just yesterday my mom
and I were discussing dryer troubles. Her quit working, she had a repair man take a look at it. He vaccumed out all the lint and it cost her $150.00. Then 3 weeks later, it quit working again. Next time I will tell her to call you.
Went to the ER yesterday and they
said it was probably just a viral infection. She is just in the bed sleeping on and off. She don't want to play or do anything else. She don't have an appetite. She has been drinking pretty good though. Popsicles is a good idea also. I'll try that also. Again, thanks so much for the advice. It is definitely appreciated.

You should have been here yesterday
I live probably what is considered North Georgia but 19 miles south of Atlanta. The living is good where I am and the weather, about 60 yesterday and supposedly the same today. Our winters here usually mild, this year we have gotten down to the teens once or twice but nothing you probably see all the time. I wish we did not have tornados warnings here, scared of those. The weather in the summer can be HOT and humid normally. I would much rather have this than what I see with all that snow and ice. I only remember 2 times since the 80s of what you might term blizzard or icy conditions and even those gone in a few days.
yesterday's
performances, I would rather say that Danny will be voted off. Chris was really good last night and Adam will be the winner, he is just in another league.
Scheduled yesterday but....
I was also out of work, no big problem with me. I am talking about being looked at as professional, not cleaning, cooking, taking care of babies, on and on when you do have work. Posts are written about how to fit other things in while they work?? I think most of us from time to time run out of work, myself included.
Ballet - we went yesterday and...sm
she loves it, of course! They close the door and you don't get to watch, but you can hear them singing. I guess they'll start learning steps for their recital in June now. Dh is having a fit over what the costume "might cost." I just read the letter when I got home about paying the rest of the costume (gave deposit of $55). The cost for the class is $54 every six weeks. Does that seem good? Does anyone know what the costume could cost? I'll probably just call the teacher and ask, but why not state it in the letter? Is it something they don't even know yet? I'm very new to this ballet stuff so not sure.
I saw a little doggie yesterday in a car
as I pulled up to get out and looked and would have called the police, alone in the vehicle at a flea market but what saved the owner was they had the window down. The weather here was in the high 50s and climbing but I would not hesitate if the windows had been up.
It has been on MSNBC since yesterday.
I'm on the West coast and just heard about it last night.
It was clearly an accident and now she has a criminal record over it.
Yesterday I was at the mall and a
guy was walking along talking to a young girl. He rounded the corner and I was coming toward them. He stopped his conversation with her and said loudly to me,
You're pretty . . then went back to his conversation with her! LOL! She did not seem upset at all. Her brother? a friend?
Question. . jerk or just a darn nice guy? LOL
She was also on Oprah yesterday
singing with Kelly Clarkson and Justin Limberlake, promoting her Duets with Rebba, I think that is what it is called, album. Think I will buy it. She is great. Also loved the sitcom, especially her with her ex and Barbara Jean. Very funny.
Someone already posted this yesterday

we had flurries yesterday....
none today...I am not excited about winter even though it is a beautiful season. I just hate below 0 weather and scraping ice off of my car.
3.14-3.16 a gallon yesterday x

Just wanted to thank you for your help yesterday. SM
It honestly has helped. When you said don't think of the whole amount to start with, and losing a little is more than gaining has really helped. All the comments I received were so nice and so many people can identify with this problem. So far I am doing good. Wish me luck and thanks again!
My cat with lymphoma from yesterday.
I just wanted to thank all of you again for your kinds words to help me get through a very difficult time yesterday. My little girl is gone. She went very peacefully and fast. She is now resting in my garden with a couple of garden statues to keep her company. Her name was Sixer, as she had 6 toes on her left foot. We got her from a shelter 10 years ago and we knew she was the one. I wanted to get a female cat so that I would not be the only girl in the house. She was the little girl I never had.
I had a very difficult morning today. It still feels so strange to not have her walking around the house. Very lonely without her, especially working at home. The sun is shining again today, and I know she is in a better place. My tears will subside and my heart won't be so empty some day, but right now not so much.
Again, my sincere thanks for being so kind.
Me too!! Saw it yesterday and thought the same!
It looks like they're acting!
I envy all of you. Our gas is $2.34 yesterday. PA
Live in a small town, but 11 miles away in another county, it was $1.48 last week. The GS around here are ripping us off and there's not a thing we can do about it.
Do you know how many times yesterday
that I started to ask this same exact question and then deleted it??? I had the opportunity the last two days to tell him I wanted out but I got scared and just stayed in the back of the house.
I did it - anon from yesterday (sm)
It's all reported and official. Now I don't feel so alone. I don't want to get into a big discussion on here in case he is checking to see if I posted anything...but it's all documented by the right people and they have my back. Starting my kids in counselling there as well. I feel my backbone growing back :-) If you have replies please reply to the orginal post below...don't want it to be right up top again, just in case. Thanks for all the words of wisdom and encouragement yesterday.
Here in Louisville, we were 0 yesterday
(Friday) and will be 40 today (Saturday), with snow predicted for Sunday.
I saw all the posts on this subject yesterday too, --sm
and usually if the moderator moves a thread, there is an arrow showing that, or sometimes an explanation as to why something was eliminated. Sometimes if someone mentions a specific name or area, a thread might be removed, but she usually explains that. Maybe something went wrong with the system. Perhaps she will explain later when she sees this. I don't think it was placed on the *wrong board*. But congrats to the new parents!!!
When calling up my internet yesterday
playing over and over and over the picture of this mad man in different poses. I can understand why so many of the family and friends upset today with the media. Hubs made mention of every channel playing but I just keep watching fluff and not because I didn’t care, just because I know my heart and it would just break too much. The television channels were wrong in the fact they allowed this thing to have his 15 minutes.
I did not read the post yesterday and sorry
because I had puppies who got sick with mucus, bloody discharge from the anus, weight loss and I lost them. This is very lethal and had I read her post would have immediately told her to not wait for appointment to see veterinarian because this onset does not let someone take that long before young puppies can die. I had in my back yard and never could let young puppies be there ever. I hope hers is ok and she was able to get some assistance with the pup.
Missed these shows yesterday...sm
Anything good happen? Did Nick reappear? Please update me...
Yesterday's headlines killed me.
"Dr. Melfi quits treating Tony Soprano to start treating Paris Hilton!"
Too funny.
She said on The View that "Paris called and needed me so I had to make all my time available for Paris and her family!"
Yum! I did that yesterday with cornbread stuffing

daughter suspended yesterday - sm
I'm a little upset here folks.
My 15-year-old daughter is a freshman this year and this high school (small town) has had 3 sexually motivated attacks in the past 2 years, all of them last year.
As a precaution, my husband and I bought my daughter a little keychain for her house key that has a tiny little pepper spray cannister. It's so small, it's only good for 1-2 sprays but enough to deter anyone from an attack. It also has a safety button on it that has to be moved into position before you can spray it but its very easy to move with the thumb. She has carried this with her since late last spring when two of the attacks happened.
Not to mention the fact that there have been several instances where the kids are walking home from the bus stop or home from a friends house when they are approached by a car of young men harrassing them. Also, there have been numerous reports of attempted lurings recently, here and in the next town over.
Yesterday, as she was getting her book bag together before the end of school, getting ready to go out and catch the bus home, she had the keychain sitting out on the desk. Her teacher happened to walk by and see the keychain laying out and picked it up to look at it. You can't even tell it's a pepper spray until you look at it closely because the cannister slips into a holder that looks like a little bear. The spray comes from the bear's mouth.
So the teacher picks it up and says something like oh how cute. Then my daughter told her that it was her protection. The teacher questioned her about what she meant and she told her. The teacher snatches the keychain, grabs my daughter's arm and marched her to the office for "having a weapon."
My daughter has now been suspended for 2 days. I'm mad. They don't keep an eye on the bullies, there are 2 kids in the school who have been convicted of sexual battery, and there was a stabbing right in front of the school about 3 years ago, where the buses drop and pick up. No increased security at the school after ANY of these attacks.
I have read the policies for the district and in the list of multiple items classified as "weapons" NOWHERE does it say that pepper spray is considered a weapon.
I plan on meeting with the principal and the district superintendant today to discuss this.
No wonder the kids here don't like this school. They don't feel safe here.
There's my rant. 
Just started Nutrisystems yesterday - sm
actually signed up for it back in November but schedule was too nuts to get going on it, plus had not told DH about it (he went nuts last year when I said I wanted to do it as it is expensive and he did not want me spending the money). Well won $250 in December, MIL gave me $300 for Christmas and DH wanted to get me an expensive necklace ($600) for Christmas. So dropped on him that instead of getting a pretty bauble to pay for a month of the Nutrisystems. He is not happy but he will be in the long run. Going to stick to it for 4 months (will end up with 4 weeks of free food in the long run do to 2 deals I was able to swing with NS). I did NS years ago when I only had to lose 15 pounds, have about 70+ to go this time. So I am hoping as long as I am good about it (the exercise is my downfall) then I hope to be at least 40 pounds lighter in 4 months. Then I will just watch what I eat, do Lean Cuisine for dinner, etc. and try to keep the downward spiral going.
