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!

Wow. I really am always amazed when
What is so out of whack? Are your bills that much? Or are you making that little at all of your jobs?

I make all of my bills on 1 of my 2 checks a month.

?

I'm always amazed at how
complicated birds are to raise! I have done freshwater fish, and it was interesting and there was a lot to learn also.

My neighbor helped some cardinal babies in her backyard 2 years ago and the babies still hang around, quite bold with her and her husband. They feed at our feeders, but are shy with us. I love watching the birds out the window, and we have 3 feeders where I can watch out the window. They are so cool.


You would be amazed
at how many things just "fell into place" for this movie! Did you also know that none of the actors were paid? They all did this for free.

I had a friend who went with our group who recently got divorced. She said she wished she had seen this movie about a year ago, it probably would have helped them tremendously!

It's definitely worth it, and the book that is in the movie is being sold at Walmart for like 12 dollars. I just bought it and it is really good too!

What has amazed me is how much they love them and are still using them! (sm)
This was two Christmases ago - everything else they got is long forgotten - but they have used these almost every day since they got them - take them to sleepovers and everything. It feels really good to have your kids love something you made that much!
Wow! Totally amazed again, first your hubby
is pregnant and now you are speaking another language other than most do on this post, English. I am really impressed by your entire family!!
I am really amazed at how and question to loving ASR
speech (or the platform I work on) seems to sorta "take over" your PC. In other words, not only does it pick up what the physician says but I find that when I type a word wrong a lot of times it spells it correctly and these are words I do not have in autocorrect- have you also noticed this?
I am just amazed by the ignorance of some people!
I am sorry but you sound like you are not the most intelligent person in the world.  Your kids are your kids.  They are your flesh and blood.  If your dying aunt's phone call was so important, you should have let the machine pick up when your daughter called.  Instead....you have made a ginormous mountain out of a mole hill here.  How childish are you?  Your daughter calls and seems concerned about you.  Maybe she misunderstood your tone of voice.  But here you are talking about disconnecting your phone or letting the machine pick up your daughter's calls and not call her back and se if she is  worried.  Sounds to me like your are a selfish, attention seeking freak who is in major denial that YOU might actually be wrong about some things.  Yes....YOU!  As for the money and your son.  You are ASSUMING that your son is so upset about the money that he won't get over it.  Have you even tried?  No...you are assuming....so don't get your panties in a twist when your daughter assumes that you sound upset.  OMG....I seriously have never read such an ignorant post in my life.  If I were your kids, I wouldn't have much to do with you whether. 
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.


 


See, I knew if I posted after the noon news it would be different after the evening news! LOL nm

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.
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!
Christopher Hitchens says everytime he speaks he is amazed
at all the non-Christian-Muslim-Jews who are out there, thinking they are all alone and the only ones who believe the way the do. I think equal time is only fair.
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

I agree. Was switching channels yesterday--sm
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.
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?

Fox news
And . . . you're more upset about the poor grammar than the actual subject of the story - a man shooting his supervisor!
not new news here in FL

well Howard murdered Daniel and Anna Nicole for one reason only--  dinero there are things reported here in Broward-Dade that arent on the national news


They better not. According to FOX NEWS
she was handcuffed and tossed in cruiser. I missed it. SHUCKS.
news
Yes this is terrible. I am surprised the family members didnt freak out and run back and get the doc. YOu can bet i would have been screaming like a freak and grabbing someone if that was my family member
any more news?
nm
Yes, that's news to me too!!
we have pets in our house but can't say I've ever heard the above.
Old news
Yes maybe old news, but isn't it still illegal?
Much news
Thanks for asking. CJ had an ultrasound, which confirmed the pneumothorax but they could not find any tear or other reason for it. Because they had serial chest x-rays (yay me) and now the Doppler, they are confident there is NO LUNG CANCER. They were therefore good to perform thoracentesis, and this released 3 liters of air (wow). CJ is now resting much more comfortably. They will check for any re-accumulation of air at 5:00 and release anything they find, and if all goes well, we can pick him up at 5:30. Then we will hope that his body is able to heal. There will be rechecks. We will be tapering off the prednisone but give him doxycycline to prevent infection. Pretty good compared to thinking we were going to have to put him to sleep, eh??

I will attempt to get some money back from that first vet. Turns out the pneumothorax was clear as day on that FIRST chest x-ray, the one they only took because I was so insistant he couldn't breathe.

Prayers are appreciated!
I saw this on the news also
And was wondering the same dang thing. People do not use their heads for some reason. And then go on TV and expose their stupidity...not me! If a psychiatrist asked me to pull up my shirt, I'd lay him out and leave...then call the cops.
Wow. So much. First of all, I'm sorry for this news. Awfully sorry. sm
I can't imagine that kind of diagnosis.
After being severely depressed most of my life and then finding God (please don't move this to the religion board), I have determined in my heart and mind to live life to the fullest each and every day. I play lots of board games with my kids, call my mom, keep scrapbooks and journals, teach 2 classes at our church, and I study the Bible avidly.
I try to show love and kindness to every person in my life. Whenever I'm with others, I try to make it a point to listen twice as much as I talk and show genuine care and concern. I call people I haven't seen much in church to check up on them. I pray for people all the time. I take long, hot showers. When I am off work, I actually don't work! I can go on and on and on. I don't want to think of "if I only had so many days left," because I know that tomorrow may be the day I die. I don't want to waste any of it right now.

I am aspiring to be a speaker and travel the country giving my testimony, writing books, and encouraging women (especially depressed women) that THERE IS AN AWESOME PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE. You just have to find out what it is and live it. Every day.
I saw this in the news also. They say that one
of the things that may have helped save his life is that workers like this are taught what to do and how to brace their body in case of a fall. I can't imagine I would have my wits about me enough to remember what I was taught. This truely is amazing and definitely the work of the Lord.
News to me
Riley Children's Foundation -Riley Hospital for Children is my choice. :)
I saw this on the news the other day...how sad
they let out child molsters and rapists at the drop of the hat but it's a big deal to let this guy out long enough to see his daughter. what a sick society we live in.
Yes, just saw that on the news. Here is more
BREAKING NEWS

updated 11 minutes ago
NEW HAVEN, Connecticut - A spokeswoman for screen legend Paul Newman said Saturday that the actor had died at age 83.

Spokeswoman Marni Tomljanovic said Newman died Friday of cancer. No other details were immediately available.

Newman was nominated for Academy Awards 10 times, winning a regular Oscar in 1987 for "The Color of Money" and two honorary ones. He was equally at home in comedies such as "The Sting" and dramas such as "Hud."

So sad. What a handsome man he was.
This is old news....
Rachel Maddow, news reporter of MSNBC just came out.
i am sorry for the news...
but, you may well be right on 2 counts -- that it may work out for the best (rather than tragedy on vacation) and life IS good -- (not was) -- your vacations can just come a bit later!! God bless.
sad news

Nip/Tuck, my all time favorite medical show is getting cancelled.  I wish they had worked in a story about McNamara Troy dealing with a loony MT!  Anyone else have a favorite doc drama?


bad news
I know how this can be as I have an overbearing hubby when it comes to finances. Personally, I would wait until he is in that "chatty" kinda good mood and then say I have something to tell you and dont freak out!!

news on Cho....notified NBC between 8-9 a.m.

Cho manifesto?


VT killer mailed video and multi-page statement to NBC in between shootings



Reuters, with files from National Post

Published: Wednesday, April 18, 2007

BLACKSBURG, Va. — The gunman who went on a rampage at Virginia Tech university sent a "rambling" and "disturbing" account of his grievances to NBC between the first killing, when two people died, and his slaughter of 30 others, the network said Wednesday.


MSNBC, an affiliate of NBC, said the material included video and a multi-page statement. It said the broadcaster handed the material to the FBI.


In Monday's rampage, the worst in modern U.S. history, a man and a woman were killed in a student dorm in the first shooting while the others were shot in a classroom building on the campus about two hours later.

The gunman, a student identified by the university as Cho Seung-Hui, then shot himself dead.

The correspondence with NBC was confirmed by Steven Flaherty, the Virginia state police superintendent, who told reporters at the university: "Earlier today NBC news in New York received correspondence that we believe was from Cho."


He said it included "photographs, video and multiple writings."


MSNBC said NBC officials would not disclose the contents of the material pending the FBI’s review.


According to a report on MSNBC.com, the package was time-stamped in the two-hour window between Monday's shootings and sent to NBC News head Steve Capus. Capus told the news Web site that Cho talks to the camera in the videos, vaguely referring to the shootings in one instance and stating that "This didn't have to happen."


Police feel the package may represent "a very new, critical component of this investigation," Capus added


------------------


well, appears that he wanted minutes of fame (by his notifying NBC in between the two shootings, making it premeditated for sure).....very sad....


God Bless Them All.....
