I love NYC, and I think everyone should go to see a B'way show at least once in their lives.

In Reply to: Broadway shows - Just Asking
But if you're ever interested in doing a shorter, probably less expensive theater trip, don't forget about Philadelphia. Lots of Broadway shows come to Philly. The Lion King, Wicked, The Producers -- they've all been here. The casts can be different, but no less amazing. One of the best nights of my life was seeing Yul Bryner in the King and I in Philadelphia. Amazing! This past Saturday night I saw Michael York play King Arthur in Camelot with Rachel York was Gunavere. I just bought a subscription to the Walnut Street Theatre in Philly and will see Man of LA Mancha, Peter Pan, The Price, the Odd Couple and Les Mis next season, along with Amadeus at the Wilma Theatre.
No, it's not quite Broadway -- not the lights, not the hustle and bustle, not the exact casts. But, for a shorter trip for less money, a quick weekend without the kids perhaps, you can see amazing theatre in Philly, too. And when it comes to food and restaurants, Philadelphia has a well earned reputation as a foodie city.
Enjoy your time in NYC! If you're ever in Philly, drop me a line!

We must walk in love and peace every single day of our lives. sm
We never, ever know when we will be tempted to be rude or get angry. If you don't purpose to love others and count others "better than yourself," then you will fall into this kind of behavior. I never want to live like that. I desperately want people to remember for good deeds and love. I know a few people personally in my life right now who wouldn't be missed a second if something were to happen to them. Sad, sad, sad.
I love this show.
It is interesting to me how the views change regarding this show in respect to poligamist themselves. Just from different interviews about this show. Some say the "heated scenes" don't occur and that the sexual act is for procreation period, whereas others say "we are human too". Surely there has to be. Nicki cracks me up playing them all against each other. I think Chloe Sevigny is just a mess. This roll was made for her.
I love that show! sm
It's fascinating. But it makes me so mad sometimes to see what people have had to go through to *finally* get the correct diagnosis. Some people they've shown were so close to dying, so very sick, and were being told nothing was wrong.
It makes me wonder how many people aren't lucky enough to find the right doctor to help them, and just continue to suffer and even die. Horrible.
I love that show!
the first time I saw the show was 4 or 5 years ago. I love the part where the camera comes up under their water bowel when they are drinking water.
Love the Show Too
My daughter and I started watching last season. Boy, they do waste food, don't they. I'm not sure who has a chance this year. I guess as the weeks go on...hopefully it'll get better, but after seeing the previews for next week, maybe not.
And what does God say he wants us to do to show him we love him? sm
To care for the sick and less fortunate, to defend those who are weak and cannot defend themselves, to treat everyone with love and kindness. To love your neighbor as yourself. If we all did that instead of judging everyone, we would probably not be chasing people away from Christianity.
It is just the love they can show...sm
You would have to own one. Mine touches my heart. I can't explain it. But he has a geniune love for me. For instance, I went to Walmart this evening and on the way home my husband called and said your dog is depressed looking out the windows for his mama and whining. He shows such genuine love it is just amazing. He waits for me at the door of the bathroom when I get a bath and will whimper and stick his paw under the door. How can you hate an animal capable of such love? It touches me.
As much as I love the show...
I'm afraid it's "jumping the shark". While I would hate to work with/for anyone like him, I loved his all-knowing arrogant self. Frankly, I'm not impressed by his journey to self-discovery...sure, it was nice when he (re)found with Selma Ward (I think that's who it was) and I find it interesting to find out clues to what make him who he is. I enjoy his occasional hiccups of compassion. But all the goofy stuff they've got him doing...like openly not accepting Kuttner's death (which is whole 'nother beef); the Good Ol' House may been bothered but he'd have not let anybody know. And his hallucinations of Amber/CHB just are out of character and almost seem, in my opinion, to waste precious story time. I watch for the medical crap (and to hear them mispronounce things) and to see House being House, not John Edwards channeling dead people.
Get him back to basics, please!!!
Not irritating me, love the show, always have
and watched it since it first started, think he is not a singer but do not vote and have seen better voted off year after year, just what ever floats your boat. The person who is supposed to win will, bottom line.
yep..i love the show, my favorite.
jeffrey, the nut job...is freaky, bet he ends up in jail
I love this show- it's great and I want to go to NYC just to be on it!! nm

I used to love the show but this year
cannot get into it for some reason. I was not liking the fact that they did the Beatles twice- is there not enough music in the world to play that same ole routine? I am just not into it as I have been in the past.
I love those guys and can't wait for the show!
o
Reality show fan too! What do you think of Rock of Love?
LOL! And I Love New York from Flavor of Love! Surreal Life. lol. These are the best entertainment these days if you ask me. And there are so many I can't even remember all of them.
Also love Top Chef, America's Top Model, American Idol, etc., and that hair show called Shear Genius with Jacklyn Smith. Hope that comes back.
I had to get something similar to TIVO so I could record all of my shows!!!!
Love the show but was very aggravated too. The biggest reason I think Marcel is there is because
he is using "gastronomy" (not sure if that is exactly right), but what it boils down to he is using chemicals to increase the flavor in different ways without it affecting the way the food looks, etc.
Other woman was 'WAY out of line. sm
She's the head-case. She's teaching her children disrespect for animals, for other people, and, eventually, for her, as well. Keep on feeding the birds, at least YOUR kids will learn to enjoy and appreciate wildlife.
Yes, I spend 'way too much of my life in this - sm
chair! Good thing it's super-comfy! This is a really old house on a steep hill, and the whole house tilts a bit, so when I'm at my computer, everything leans leftwards!
This is my view from my computer desk, and why I have trouble concentrating on my monitor all day!
You did it PERFECT! That was 'way cool.
The poo-phobia cracked me up! And so does the mental image of blowing up stuffed animals at a shooting range. Instead of animals, though, I think I'd blow up the Michelin Man and the Pillsbury Doughboy. The only animal would be Snuggles the Bear from the toilet tissue commercial.
YES. Ignorant , 'way-too-vocal minority.

She was grateful, but our government sucks 'WAY too
Also, since a bonus is really a GIFT from the company, I think it should fall under "gift" status with the IRS, and not be subject to taxes, either.
Think you can go to dot.state to get h'way conditions, but here in lower NY state, we've been

I missed the show but yesterday on her show
a couple of brothers came in and gave money to the family. Sorry I don't have more info, but like you, I do love the show. The brothers tried to give some of the credit to Oprah but she wouldn't take it. She really wanted the brothers to get all the credit.
Been there - I just cut them off and out of our lives!
Don't feel any bit of guilt either. My in-laws, the whole bunch of them, are just nasty, evil people and I refuse to be around them. My kids don't even want to be around them. If my hubby wants, he can go by himself, but he doesn't even want to be around them. It took a lot of hurt, and evil doings for me to get this way, but I am here and will never have them as part of my family ever again!
I am Thankful they are out of our lives!
if one lives to be even 80 though...
At 50, that's still 30 years to go...a lifetime! Guess it's a relative question and I will be looking forward to your responses! 
I am the one who lives in FL from below.
You are exactly right. We got hit by Charley and then once repaired, policy was cancelled, thru the bank no less!
This is a joke, right? Your son LIVES with her,
and you wonder about any of this? Give me a break! If the coach were God Himself, that would be no excuse to hand over your mothering duties and your son to someone else, let alone someone you think is a B. Give me a break. What is wrong with you?

But no matter where she lives, she is still
just not that pretty and I personally would not want to be her, no matter where she lives. I love my neighborhood and I don’t have man hands, huge teeth, watermelon head, toothpick body and no one has ever complained about my voice. I do not like her show at all.

My MIL lives about 1/4 mile from me, and . . .
right now she is on a cruise, and I can't hardly stand it! She and I are best friends. I absolutely LOVE her. We are very much alike in our thinking . . . most of the time. Even when we don't agree, we still manage to talk about things and agree to disagree. I know I have a real treasure in her. In my book, MILs can be wonderful. I know that isn't the case for everyone, but I know it is very, very possible.
When my MIL gets back home on the 15th, I'm going to be extremely happy! 
I meant lives near me - sorry. NM

I can ask my mom who lives there (just got off the phone, actually). sm
I do know that in the summer, the highs are around 70s or so. Does not get much higher than that. A Big Mac and fries with drink in Alaska (Anchorage) will run you about 6.00 w/o tax.
My mom received an expensive gift card for the doc she works for - for Nordstrom Dept. Store. Instead of spending it in Alaska, she is coming to Texas next month and thinks she will get double for her money at the Nordstrom's here.
They just bought a 4 BR/2BA home in the town of Palmer, AK (about an hour from Anchorage?) and they paid 200,000 for it. BUT, they are now selling their home and moving BACK towards Anchorage as she realized she cannot drive in the winter that far to work! She makes 22.00 an hour running a doctor's office. My dad works for the prison system and they are doing VERY WELL. He is retired A.F. She NEVER complains about money - like how much things costs. If anything, she says, "boy it's nice not to have to worry about money!"
Every year residents get a "dividend" check for a couple thousand dollars from the oil companies, too, from what I understand.
If you are a woman, Alaska is a WONDERFUL place to live, from what I hear. My mom and dad are still young (in their late 40s - early 50s) and my mom says that dad brings home "friends from work" and the way she puts it, if I were single and visiting I wouldn't be single for very long! Plenty of good looking, hard-working men and not enough women...........My mom has a weird sense of humor, but she's not kidding!
Of course, you MUST love the outdoors if you live there. My dad is constantly shoveling snow and working on their vehicles - at least 7 months out of the year, preparing them for the cold. He just bought himself a new snowmobile and he is an avid hunter and salmon fisherman. My mom is outdoorsy too, so it works well for them. I have no plans on visiting any time soon. I enjoy not having to deal with snow where I am at.
I hope this helps you a little bit. The further you go from the city the cheaper the housing. My parents want to move back to Eagle River,AK, but don't think they could get a decent house for the price they are asking in that particular area.
I'll tell you this. If I were going to move there I certainly wouldn't go far from Anchorage unless you want to live in the middle of nowhere! At least in Anchorage (or near Anchorage), you have full access to the airport where you could get on a plane and get away if you need to which is what my mom does often. I see her "all the time" even though she lives there. She flies out a lot! And that is because no one in the family goes to visit them.......Hope this helps!
FIL lives with us & his will be with his May check sm
The notice about the deposit said that it was going to be deposited separately but at the same time as his regular SS check, which is the 4th Wednesday of the month because of when his birthday falls.
I LOVE love love shallots! I use them in everything that calls for an onion and/or garlic. Mmmmmm. n

Not everyone lives in small towns
I took the bus and T (subway in Boston) to high school and college, as did most kids. Try parking in Harvard Square, or anywhere in Boston for that matter.
When I moved out west to continue college in a city that did not have great public transport, I lived on campus for the first year without a car. After that I bought one for $1000, and insured it for $35/mo (this was in 1993).
My mom does not even have a DL, and did not have the money to pay my tuition, let alone get me a car for school, yet somehow we made it. Kids don't NEED cars in high school. There is always the big yellow bus if you live somewhere there is not public transportation. I was shocked to see how many high school kids were driving around in new SUVs and sports cars like Mustangs where I used to live in the South.
Just one more sutle way to push God out of our lives
Many people do not even notice this change, or many just don't care. Just like God was pushed out of schools, public buildings and trying to get God off our money. "In God we trust"? As a nation it is hard to say anymore. We were founded on Christian beliefs but separating church and state has been taken way to far.
So glad I did not have them their entire lives
because I had already raised my children and did not need to be raising stepgrandchildren and especially ones that had been left to fend for themselves and did not know how to cut up a piece of meat to eat it, no manners, nothing, took to Walt Disney World and they had never even heard of Snow White and 7 dwarfs but they sure knew about reefers, killings, rapings, etc. This is how they were growing up. I thank my lucky stars I am not in that situation anymore. I know personally of not only the neighbor who gets a check for her son being diagnosed as attention but also my cleaning lady, she also knows how to work the system, so she tells me and from what she has told me, I firmly believe it. Lots of people working the welfare systems yet.
I agree. We are considering our daughter's lives here....

I am reading about all the pets we have in our lives
and hearing about the tragedy that has come our way, especially today. I know how much your animals(s) mean to you as they mean the same to me. I would ask all of you, not only the ones who have lost their friends and family today, but also the rest out there to consider an adoption from the humane society. There are a lot of anmals we can give good forever homes to. I give a donation each month to the humane society as well as take my newspapers there because they shred them and use for the animal beds. There is a little life out there waiting for a family, think about it.
Why are people throwing their lives away?
I am up in years, have worked a total of 50 years now (yeh, started really young) and still working. My mother could not afford to send me to college and years ago I did not believe I was college material. I did, thank goodness, find transciption, always extremely fast typist (self-taught by the way at 12) and good speller, hey what more can you want? Anyway, back to my post. What in the world is going on when highly educated people in high paying jobs being so dense as to try to pull off crimes that get them jail, prison time, fired from their jobs, and on and on. I just do not get this at all. Just when you think you have heard it all on the news, you hear something crazier! I have never been arrested, don’t want to be, try to live a decent life and would not think twice about trying to pull something that would compromise the way I lead my life. What are they thinking??
My daughter is at VT and lives in West AJ.
With her guardian angel watching over her, my daughter is fine. After the first shooting, she was released to go to class and was walking toward Norris Hall. The police told her to go back to her dorm. She is in lock down and hungry. What a sad day for the VT community. Please pray for the families who lost their students.
I have friend who lives on the other side
of the railroad tracks that cook these things.
Never ever ate that, swear on my furkids lives
Now I love beef but hardly eat that now- hubby wants us to cut back on that and the pork but that does not mean I do not love. I probably would throw up if someone served me liver of any kind. I was raised in Tenn but live in Georgia now and no I have never. I have seen liver in the grocery but as far as the other organs, just do not see them here (in town over 4 million) so have shopped in big stores. We have an international market and the next time I am there will check and see if they carry these items.
grew up in St. Albans, mom now lives in
Hurricane, used to go to Point Pleasant all the time for Sunday drives. Wanted to see that movie but haven't gotten around to it. I am old enough to remember the Marshall plane crash - couldn't bring myself to see it.

Thanks
All cattle graze for most of their lives. All of them...
and there is overhead involved in grass fed beef. There is overhead involved in everything, but my real question was: How does finishing with corn change the "chemistry" of the muscle?
For us who spend our lives listening
we all sure have a lot to say! Love it.
If I remember correctly the mom lives - sm
on her own piece that she got in the divorce. The daughter lives next door on a piece of land the dad owns.(unclear if dad owns the daughter's home though). The dad (ex-husband of mom) lives elsewhere. In any case, a real mess. Dad needs to be locked up and evaluated or they may all end up dead.
My mom lives close and it's nice
My mother and my siblings and I all live within about a 10 mile radius. The grandchildren can go to grandma's anytime they want. They are in and out sometimes every day. They like to spend the night at grandma's house and she likes to have them there. They keep toys and extra clothes there just in case and they have their own dresser drawers, spots in a closet, etc. She's a great mom and is the one person any of us will leave a sick child with when we "absolutely" have to. BUT my mom likes to have her own space. She likes the fact that she can "just say no" (which she rarely does) and that they go home when she's tired. Sometimes it's as casual as picking her up and all of us going out to lunch and then back home, but the kids see her at least 3-4 times a week.
None of us have ever taken advantage of her as a babysitter and "dumped" our kids on her. We respect her schedule and plans. She loves seeing the kids. My niece cut her first tooth at grandma's house. She got to see them grow and saw how much they remind her of their parents, her children. I think she would have missed out on a lot had we all not lived so close. Both sets of grandparents lived 350 miles away when I was growing up and I hated it, as we only got to see them a few times a year.
I don't think he lives at home anymore.
I usually take the woman's side with this kind of stuff, but can't do it with Kate. She has changed big time. Jon said a long time ago he didn't want to do the show anymore but she's really into it. I think she is only doing the show for herself, not her kids (as she says), and she is willing to put her marriage on the line. In my opinion, she has never treated Jon very well. She's very overbearing. It's her way or the highway and he chose the latter.
I hope they take the show off the air.
Then, they can widen the road by allowing God to come into their lives!
