Ok, got another stoopid story. A newscaster arrested last year, driving on suspended license from previous DUI, was charged with DUI again plus had drugs in the vehicle so 3 charges. This newscaster has now been rehired by the same place that fired her last year. A woman today said- she thought this person was a role model for young girls. People - have you lost your fricking minds???

Is anyone else irritated
With Seacrest and the judges doing all the bantering and bickering back and forth? Geez! The show is about a singing contest, not the host and judges of the show!
I think they need to focus more on the contestants again instead of themselves.
to irritated/porn addiction?
Wow, you sure are trusting after seeing such a big change in behavior. I hope you don't get what I got: the greatest guy I could've wanted (good, prominent family, $, respect, the works). I won't fill in all the frills I got, but they were plenty, and I thought I was set. for life. And yes, he did love me dearly.
The thing I came to learn was that he had a porn addiction. It's something I've never experienced, and really hadn't typed about, either. I'm no fool, and had been with plenty of men before him, as we got married later than most, but this was a first for me. In the end it ruined our marriage. My point is that when you see strange things happen, don't poo-poo it. Only you know if something is amiss, and I believe you do. I hope I'm wrong, and I certainly hope you don't have to face what I did. It sickens me to think about the details of all that chapter, but now that we're no longer "one," I know that I can't fix him, and as long as he doesn't acknowledge his problem, he won't, either. Ironically, even now I'd be as supportive as possible if he were to shed the demons that are eroding him to his core, but he'll be the first to tell the world that there's nothing wrong with him.
Just something to think about. I hope you don't end up the way I did. I'm just glad I don't have all that anxiety anymore, and we're actually friends (or something like that).
Good luck.
thanks for listening
I feel like I got a little support here - even though I guess I pirated this thread! That makes me feel a little better. It has occurred to me after reading the original post that my daughter's generation may not even be aware that we always did the traveling to the older person's house, or at least most of the time. I don't know what happened to change that.
You must have been listening to
Fox- same lineage but not raised by Kennedy. Dog adopted, returned by previous owner, the girls are second owner. Anything is possible but in this case not.
Thanks for your listening below (sm)
Husband and I have talked this through. We're going to find something else to rent until we can save up a decent amount to put down on another house. Someone below (I can't remember and too lazy to go look right at this second) made mention of not buying until financially ready. We are definitely not ready.
As a side, the landlord called and left a voice mail. Thank goodness or I would have laughed on the phone. He said his buddy who did the appraisal 2 or 3 years ago let him know the exact number of the appraisal and it was about $25,000 more than he stated the other day. I know this house, I know what needs fixed and there is no way in hades he's going to get what his buddy appraiser told him.
I'm going to put him off until we find a place to rent. We had a lease agreement years ago but have pretty much been going month to month in the past 3 years. The guy is a nice guy to deal with, but his head is in the clouds on this appraisal deal. He said he'd be willing to work with us but wasn't going to give it away.
Thanks for the ears below and voice of reason. I was hit with this and had a bad day or two of uncertainty.
See, I knew if I posted after the noon news it would be different after the evening news! LOL nm

listening to this mess-
I think doctors today are just different. I remember doctors that would actually stop and rewind to the spot that needed to be corrected instead of dictating it after the fact. I also recall the time when doctors did not say "umm, or keep you hanging waiting for the next word. I overheard two doctors discussing his mother's surgery and recovery. The attendings that are "supposed" to be training these up and coming doctors should include dictation techniques.
For the last two weeks I have been listening
to Christmas music in my car. Don't know why, but I was in the mood for some Manheim Steamroller, even if it is a little early in the year. I have to say that when I listen to the Hallelujah Chorus on this particular CD it makes everything that is wrong in my life seem so insignificant. I love this group's music. It just makes you happy.
Merry Christmas, a little early! 
I just wanted to say thanks for listening again.

I guess not listening to your tax person
because I could take retirement now but if I do not able to make the $$$ I want. What I have found out, if I wait until full retirement age I can work and draw the social at full and my pay at full. I hope to make that- only 3 more years and then the moola will be sooo nice. If I retired now, social security comes and takes money away from me. I do not like that.
For us who spend our lives listening
we all sure have a lot to say! Love it.
Still listening to John Legend, Get Lifted (nm)

Listening to Neil Boortz this morning and he said
Whoopie in Atlanta 1 time, tried to wear jeans to have dinner at Ritz-Carlton in Buckhead, turned down at which point she was trying to say Atlanta not stylish, behind the times. He was saying probably hold-over from that and how some northerns immediately upon hearing a southern accent just assume you are ignorant and lots of others things, like maybe we make moonshine, do the barefoot thing, marry our cousins, on and on. What Vick owned up to just goes without saying 1 of the most disgusting things I have heard of in my life and most of us in the south who would not defend that regardless of their race, creed, ethnicity, etc.
Agree 100%, I enjoyed watching and listening

I was 18 and driving my Mustang on Main St. listening to the radio.

You going to mix dancing and easy listening/traditional or not have dancing? nm

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!!
Have you guys seen the news...
about the alert and info on the 9-month-old? People just blow my mind with some of the things they pull these days!!!
Wonderful news
What great news! I'm so happy to hear that you have a healthy baby. Good luck. It's too bad your first doctor had to scare you like that.
Wow ... that's fantastic news!
I'm very happy for you.
That is really good news sm
It is really hard, and I am glad you found a solution that will work for you. Please, keep us updated and how she does in the new school.
That's great news!
I hope all of them get adopted out to loving homes. Bless you for what you are doing, I'm sure it hasn't been easy. 
On Fox news just a few minutes ago sm

That's what they called him on the news!. nm
LOL
Great News
I'm so happy kitty's coming home. That's great news. I hope she's back to her old self soon.
news on Cho....notified NBC between 8-9 a.m.
Reuters, with files from National PostPublished: 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.....
Good news!!
IT ISN'T BEDBUGS!!!
We had the exterminators over and they said they have extensive experience treating bedbugs, in fact they are fighting them at a local hotel right now along with a number of private homes.
They didn't see any evidence of bedbugs and they said the marks on my husband don't look like bedbug bites at all. They suggested that he see his doctor, which he is going to do.
Woohoo!! I am sorry my husband is suffering, but we are both GLAD it isn't bedbugs.
That IS good news! Now he can come in

Hopefully good news
I go to a senior citizens place and this morning found out they are starting ceramic classes the last of this month. First of all I am really pleased just to go but uppermost in my mind is the possibility I might be able to do my own gravy boat. I really love crafts, wish I had my mothers genes in that regard, but don’t so I need instructions and then follow along but still love doing things and might even get that boat I need. Lucky me!!
Great News!
I'm so very happy to hear about your nephew. One National Guard company who had been in Iraq for almost two years arrived safely in Minneapolis last night. As I understand it, that's the longest any troops have been deployed. Some of them had children they'd never seen--I cried along with all the rest of them when watching it on the news this morning.
Hope things continue on the "outsourcing" path, and your nephew and all the rest of our wonderful men and women so willing to fight for what's right in spite of it all will return safely and SOON! 
Tell me how to listen to the news when
I get sooooo out of sorts listen to the idiotic, stup*d things people are doing each and every day. The stories I am hearing today- a mother gets on her daughters bus to have the child to fight for herself- with the mother holding the backpack for her child so "it would not get in her way." I think the mother charged with contributing to the deliquency in that case. The mother is telling the courts she is gonna teach her child how to defend herself?? What a crap! Another case today is mother who threw her 6 month old child at a police officer when the mother being investigated for having drugs in her trailer, another mother doused her 3 children with solvent, fires them up and the youngest child has died. Friends let a blind guy drive and he has wreck and dies- what in the hel* is happening with this news business. I cannot hear the news without all this insanity..
It is not only in schools. It can be anywhere. On the news here
in SC last night, a little boy 3 or 4 years of age has it and is at MUSC in Charleston but doing good. He was not in day care anywhere. He stayed at home all the time.
There is nothing on the news. Is this a bad joke?
nm
She has news channel no one else has?
I have home page as CNN and nothing mentioned, no news on local 3 channels, no CNN, Fox or MSNBC.
