Agree, he is awful. I just saw this on the Idol site...
where they have all the contestant question and answers. Check out what Sanjaya said.
Q: If you couldn’t sing, which talent would you most like to have?
A: Singing.
LOL! That says it all, doesn't it. I thought it was really funny :)
I still believe that article about the India votes is true and that they are all voting and trying to make a statement. Plus he is the current pick on the www.votefortheworst.com website. He could possibly win this thing! Now that would be really funny. Yikes!
My wonderful life began at 40.

Planned PArenthood began in 1916
Planned Parenthood is America's leading sexual and reproductive health care advocate and provider. Founded by Margaret Sanger in 1916 as America’s first birth control clinic, Planned Parenthood believes that everyone has the right to choose when or whether to have a child, that every child should be wanted and loved, and that women should be in charge of their destinies.

Planned Parenthood affiliates nationwide provide sexual and reproductive health care, education, and information to millions of women, men, and teens in the United States each year. Three and a half million Planned Parenthood activists and supporters also serve as advocates for sexual and reproductive rights.
Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), the national organization, is a world-renowned leader in reproductive rights and health. PPFA provides support to affiliates nationwide and addresses reproductive health needs in developing countries through our international programs and our membership in the International Planned Parenthood Federation.

July 4
 Unfortunately I am probably working too. I am in Texas where the rain is keeping us all housebound! Have fun!
July nm

July
do not go tent camping in Myrtle Beach in July - been there, done that. .
4th of July plans?
What is everyone planning on doing for the 4th? We will do the typical: cookout with family but this year we are trying some new receipes like turkey burgers and ostrich burgers, and then we will either set of a few fireworks or go to the park to see the professional fireworks. Either way just really going to enjoy my family even if it rains.
We like to go mid-July generally - sm
that way it is not right after they got out of school and it breaks up the summer. I also take them on my own up to my dad's for a few days at the end of June and again in August; going again up there last week in August as I am too busy to go earlier.
I LOVE my Wii! We have had ours since July
My husband and I are addicted to it. I think we have about 40 games for it now LOL. My husband is a nurse in a psychiatric hospital, and they used them there for a sort of rewards system for good behavior. We can't wait for Wii Fit with the balance board to come out!
I posted this around the 4th of July...sm
I wrote this:
>>> One of my dogs has a little bit of a problem with loud noises such as fireworks and thunderstorms. He doesn't get too terribly upset (likes to hide, refuses to go outside for awhile even after it's quieted down), but I happened to read an article about how using peppermint oil on the dog's paw pads helps to really calm them, so I'm going to give it a try this year.
It has to be real peppermint oil (not the kind found in the grocery store in the baking section), so I went to a local health food store and bought a bottle. You put the oil on a cotton pad, then put some on each of the dog's paws. I did a Google search and found a lot of comments from people saying it worked for their dog. (Just type in 'thunderstorms peppermint oil.') >>>
I can tell you, it worked! It lasted for about 3-4 hours. You might want to give it a try. You don't say how young your puppy is, but if he's really young, you might want to check w/your vet just to make sure it's safe to use on a puppy.
There is also some sort of vest that is sold that wraps around the dog and makes them feel secure. I haven't tried that though.
You also want to avoid unintentionally reinforcing the dog's fearful behavior by comforting/petting the dog too much when it's afraid. Just act like it's no big deal, and say positive things like 'You're okay, buddy!' and go on about your business. Also, I haven't looked at the links that the other poster gave you, but there is probably a lot of great info. there on Cesar Millan's (the Dog Whisperer) website. I love him!
A second to that! Happy Fourth of July....
we live in the greatest country in the world. Regardless of what you think about the war, the president, etc., we are afforded the privilege of being Americans. I certainly don't see people flocking to Mexico, Europe, or Asia to become citizens! Have a wonderful day, no matter what you are doing!
LOL! We got ours at Target back at the end of the July
My husband was at Target one day back in July and called me at home to tell me that they had just gotten a bunch of Wii systems in and asked me if he should get one. I told him to get one because you never know when they will have them again, and we had been wanting to get one! We are both totally addicted to it! We keep going to Gamestop to buy more games, and keep buying games on eBay! LOL!
MTstars, I think it's really nice of you to do Xmas in July.
Sparklers on the 4th of July and also Tin-Can-Alley with all the neighborhood kids.
!
Ours isn't due until July, and since DH is self-employed and pays quarterly tax estimates...
the "stimulus" is going toward the tax bill. Ironic, huh?
Oh, and if you want to get mad, listen to this. Our former foster son's parents are Korean citizens. They have green cards and are considered permanent residents of the US, but they live in S. Korea. They travel here twice a year but live and work in S. Korea. They do file US tax returns, but they don't make enough there (or they don't report enough!) to actually pay much in taxes. Yet, they are getting a stimulus payment. Now tell me why that's fair?
That's exactly what I said - how awful
Wow, that's awful!
Hindsight is always best. If I had it to do over again...nevermind. I could see from the very first CASA report that she didn't like me and thought the ex was golden. If I said the sky was blue she reported I "alleged" it and it had yet to be substantiated, if he said the sky was brown she reported it as complete fact that she herself had verified. That kind of biased reporting lets you know right then she's your enemy.
That's awful
Thank God I never had that. I've never had any problems since the tubal. Hopefully the OP's doctor will tell her all the pros and cons before she makes a decision
OMG - that is awful
Okay, I'll quit griping...your situation is much much worse. I don't blame you for not wanting to leave. You were there first, and he's your dad. She should go. I really feel bad for you. I guess unless you own the property all around you, you just get stuck. I'd love to move to a 55+ community as I know the neighbors would be quiet, however, got 7 more years before I could do that. I hope things will work out for the best for you.
Isn't it awful
I was talking to my DH and told him (it is actually his half-brother going through this), and he agreed its hard to know what to say because his brother laughs about a lot of stuff (serious stuff and makes jokes out of it). So we have decided a sympathetic uh-huh is probably the most appropriate. I can't even remember how many stupid things I've said over the years. - Oh here's a winner for you....years ago everyone was down at our place for my grandmother-in-laws memorial service (didn't even have a funeral but that's another story). Anyway...we were in a restaurant and the seater was so slow...I'm talking about slow...looked like she was walking in slow motion and it reminded me of what my dad used to say when people moved so slow, which everyone always laughed and luckily for me this time they did too. Ready for what I said. It was "my dad always tells me that these people have died but they haven't realized it yet" Talk about an ee-gads!
Wow - that's awful. I am so sorry you are going through that. sm
I am imagining my now 8 year old daughter acting that way one day (I pray not!) but I think I would have to get very tough on her. I would sit her down and say, "look, what happened to my daugher? Do you understand how much I love you? Because I love you so much I cannot and I will not let you ruin your life. It is my job to protect you and to raise you so that when you leave this home and go out into the world, you are as well-prepared as I can make you. Because of that, I will do WHATEVER I have to do to protect you. If that means putting you in rehab, so be it. If that means taking your car keys, fine. Whatever lengths you decide to go to to destroy yourself, I will go to to try to prevent you from it. In the end, I would tell her, it is her choice, and that even if you do all you can do, she can still choose to ruin her life, but when she does, you will know you did all you could to prevent it.
It's about 25,000 here and it's awful
you would think that being in a small town has its benefits but it doesn't. There is no work, people are getting laid off. There is no industry except a couple grocery stores, restaurants, and things like oil changers, Staples, etc. But not the kind of industry that produces anything like computers, TVs, etc.
Anyway...the crime rate is skyrocketing. There is no college, so the kids are graduating from HS and "hanging out" all over the place. The drug problem is getting so bad. They even have special Meth squads, but the problems are not getting solved. Additionally our "wonderful" town decided to vote against any funding for the police or fire department, so our jails are closing down and the police are being cut in half (think we will have maybe one or two POs for this area). They are letting the criminals out of jail and they are roaming the streets because they can't afford to keep the jails open. People are being robbed in the middle of the night by thugs who just break into the house and are so bold they don't care if anyone is home. The conveinece store 2 blocks away from us has been robbed a few times and when we drive by there are a bunch of "hoodlums" (for lack of better word) hanging around the outside. Drug addicts and gangs are now walking up and down the streets in front of our house. Nobody in our neighborhood talks to each other. So we're looking to move where there are more police and people are willing to pay higher taxes to keep the public a little safer.
This would be awful.
I had a patient with a fourth degree laceration after giving birth, which caused her to lose all rectal sphincter tone and she had no control over her stool or flatus for 3-4 weeks, until she underwent repair. She had also developed a massive infection from the original repair. Yikes.
What an Awful Thing
I'll be praying for your kitty Alice. I lost my own cat a week ago today, not due to food poisoning, but old age, and I definitely can feel your pain. Please keep us posted.
The big company I used was awful.
Different people every time and they used a special schedule they could not alter when I had a special request. An individual would be more flexible, but make sure they are bonded and paying taxes so you don't run into trouble with the IRS.
wow. awful sight.
`
My punctuation was awful there.
Please excuse.
Wow - no not that extreme!! That's awful! (sm)
He's controlling and he is old fashioned and patriarchal but he's not completely insane!
These stories are just AWFUL. :(
Don't people realize family members can leave us forever in the blink of an eye? Life is WAY too short to put golf or shopping or anything such nonsense before visiting family. Man, even if it's only for an hour or two, it can really make their day. How horribly sad.
Oh gosh...that is just awful...
my husband's 25-year-old cousin actually hung himself last year when my son was almost 8 and we had an opportunity to explain the situation and let him know that he can come and tell us anything without judgment...we owe our children as parents to be open and honest with them!!!
All the time and it is awful. If I take something for it s/m
I am dragging most of the next morning. Wish I had a good answer for us.
Jeez! Awful! ...sm
I don't have a 401K though because I am a IC. I am saving though and I will open an IRA one day. A lot of people are losing a lot of money in their 401K.
What awful things to say
Maybe you shouldn't own any animals.
Man, was Sanjaya awful last night!
I was glad to see that Simon finally acknowledged what we all know is going on (voting for the worst) when he said it wasn't funny anymore and they were seriously trying to pick an American Idol. I also found it funny that Ryan felt he needed to step in when Simon was critiquing Sanjaya. Why? He wasn't saying anything he hadn't said before, or anything he hadn't said to other past contestants. I liked the fact that Simon motioned Ryan off the stage, because I felt Ryan was out of line and should just let Sanjaya take his lumps.
Hopefully it will be Sanjaya tonight, but who knows. Maybe he will at least finally make the bottom 3. I think it might be Chris. I was disappointed with Lakisha's performance, and I thought Melinda did absolutely awesome.
Especially that awful show "Cheaters"!
xx
Oh, how awful for you. I hope you can get it settled.
I'll be thinking about you today. I have an 11-yo too and this just hurts my heart.
No need to compare notes, she is just awful to buy for so
I told her several times to send me a list with no response. I just decided toheck with it and then finally heard from her. I told her NO problem, no list, coal and switches and I really meant mine!
It's awful when children are sick
I hope he feels better soon.
Muskrat Love...just awful...nm
Anybody else having an awful time financially?
I can't even pay my rent on Friday because my check will be so small. I am so tired of being stressed about money. Have tried to find a job outside of this field, but no such luck.
LOLLLLLLL! They're both awful.
NM
She sings awful anyway. I never understood
how she got that far in the first place. Scott either, for that matter. He's nowhere near the caliber of singer the rest are. But I'm glad she's gone -- she was so annoying. Was she wasted last night?!
Poor child. It's so awful when children have to go
through something like it. Just said a prayer for Matthew and his family. I pray that things will get better for him and that his dad will realize what a blessing he has in his family.
I'm 40 and my production in the early a.m. hours is awful
I can't really get going until around 9:00 or so. I go to bed around 12:30 and get up before 7. Guess I need more sleep too.
Anyone every break a blood vessel in their eye. I just did and it looks awful. nm
:
That is just awful, well I'll be praying for your kitty!
I thought what a weird thing to happen. Who in the world would do such a thing? I'm not real up on it because I fortunately had not given our cat any of the listed foods. I sure hope your kitty pulls through. God bless his/her little heart... {{hugs}} to you...
Horror movie ads, especially that "Hostel II" one! Awful!
I'm a wuss anyway, and then add in all those horrible images and flash them around till I feel like I'm going to get a seizure or something. Shudder!
The girl in the kitchen telling her dad how awful it all is...
and then her mom gives her money in the other room. That one always cracks me up.
Try some low-fat vanilla soy milk in your joe, Hayseed. Awful at

Seems awful strange your sisters coming out - sm
out with this 17 years later--- do they have a motive? Do they want your marriage to break up for some reason? Would they band together and lie to make you miserable? Any bad blood? I find it hard to believe a 20-y/o guy would try to seduce and 12 and 8-y/o-- unless he is a pedophile--I know guys can get freaked when a baby is born, no sex for six weeks and all that, but still find this hard to swallow. In any case your trust is broken, you need to go to counseling. I would not trash my marriage over it though especially if you both still love each other and it is a he said/she said thing. It is hard to believe someone would make up such a story, but then again why did they wait 17 years to come to you with this info, that makes your wonder too, what do they hope to acheive by making you miserable and possibly a divorced single mother? You are in a lose-lose situation no matter what you do. If you stay in your marriage your sisters will never forgive you--- how have they been acting with him for the last 17 years, seemingly okay, or aloof, etc? Look at everyone's interactions over the years, it may give you some insight. In any case, counseling is a must, if he won't go, go without him, but if he wants to help restore your trust in him, he will attend. Good luck.
Yeah, Gwen sounded awful - sm
wonder if having 2 kids changed her voice or something or else she was having a really bad night.
