In Reply to: christmas gift exchange again sm - CrispyCritterMT
50 gifts for under $25.00. There is a link on their website Todayshow.com.
I don't know the exact ages or gender of the younger ones you are "supposed to buy for" (I personally think it is ridiculous that someone feels they can tell you who to buy for), but my teenage daughter is really into scarfs now, the kind to wear in cold weather as well as with sweaters. I found several today at Wal-mart that were just $7.00 and bought her 2. Someone also suggested movie tickets, etc. Here is our area 2 tickets would be $16.00. Not to say that isn't much, but that is an idea.
For adults, get a gift bag and go to the dollar store and buy things that will be used. Magnetic note pads for the fridge, candles, chip clips, etc. I find this such a fun bag to go through...we have done this in my family for years. I know some may frown on this, I don't know your family, but we all have so much fun seeing the neat things that can be found in a $1.00 store and thinking, Yes I can certainly use this.
Hope this helps a bit.

the today show...
did a story earlier in the week. I believe it was on Wednesday morning. I only caught a small portion of it. It was on during the last hour of their show, the part with Kathie Lee. I tried to look online for the info as they said it would be available on their website and I could not find it but who knows, maybe you'll have better luck. They were discussing transcription, mystery shoppers, and other things - legit companies they said specifically.
Today show sm
Ann Currey will be interviewing her tomorrow nite on Dateline
This morning on the Today show they
had a segment on it and an "expert" said that it was the same situation with Chris Daughtry 2 years ago. He is more credible as a performer because he was a "finalist" not the winner and therefore handed everything automatically. Hopefully it will be the same for Michael Johns.
back in 98, did anyone see me on the Today Show?
I lived in LA during and after OJ's trial. I always thought I would see him on the freeway and that I would have to ram my car into his to let him know how I felt. Well, one sunny day at Venice Beach, I had my chance. There he was, OJ. Everyone was like, "There's OJ Simpson, there he is." He was being interviewed by Ruby Wax of the BBC. There were four camera-men and four boom-operators following OJ and her around as they browsed the shops at Venice Beach.
Well, for me, it really went into slow motion. To this day, I still don't know exactly what my plan was. I start scurrying up to him (which is really funny to watch on the video), I get up to him, tap him on the shoulder, he turns to me and extends his hand. So, I'm shaking his hand, and as I look down, my brain says, "There should be blood on his hands." I say to OJ, "I've never shook the hand of a murderer before." He quickly grabbed his hand away from me and they walked off.
They showed that footage of me and OJ like crazy on the Today Show, Dateline NBC promos/show, and a special on HBO. I even called NBC to ask them to stop cuz they were only showing the video without the audio on the promos, making me look like an adoring hand-shaking fan. Katie Couric was interviewing Ruby Wax and introduced me as "that woman who insulted OJ." My phone started ringing like crazy with all my friends finally now believing me and what I had done.
So now, I'm good with OJ. He knows exactly how this one little American feels about him. -- my brush with infamy and a true OJ slam.
Plan on watching the show today.
Did not really follow the trial, just what the news has been reporting. Very curious to hear what she has to say to understand her story better.
I just watched the interview on the Today Show SM
where the a hung jury concerning the boyfriend of a woman after he kicked her seven pouond cat, Norman to death. No penalty at all. He says the cat bit him and he just "reacted." He kicked it repeatedly until he broke severa bones, broke his teeth and injured his lungs and left it to die. This happened after a heated argument between the this man and his girlfriend. Can you imagine showing your face on national television saying you were pleased with the outcome in this brutal outright case of animal abuse? Over 200 pound man kicks a cat to death and he and his attorney are trying to justify this. What a poor excuse for a human being. He claims it was not done out of spite to punish his girlfriend. You decide.
Today's Oprah show is on the healthcare issue
Looks like an interesting show. Lisa Ling confronts some insurance companies on why they won't cover certain procedures, etc. It should be an interesting debate. What a mess our system is! One suggestion by a guest on the show is that all companies provide the same healthcare package, same rates, etc. Now that's a great idea!
A forensic scientist on the Today show pointed out....sm
that it's very doubtful these girls are really 16. Most still have several of their baby teeth. They also showed measurements between their nose and mouth which usually has lengthened significantly by the teen years and on each kid on their team it was more consistent with 8-10 year olds. Also their irises are still quite large which is consistent with kids much younger than 16 worldwide.
I think the IOC should investigate more than just accepting China claiming on their passports that these kids are really 16 or older. Of course the government there can make up passports for anything stating any information if they want to. Duh!
What do you think of the quality of clothing today. What I looked at shopping today in nice stores
the stuff wasnt even sewn properly. Do you have to look at everything you buy or just hope it lasts a year.
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.
Added fresh chives today. to the egg today.
and a SMIDGE of soy sauce.
The show 24. Anybody know
when or if the show is coming back on Fox? What happened to it? 
TV Show 24
Do any of you keep up with this show? Have any of you watched it from the beginning? I'm just getting into it and wondered if it would be worth buying the previous seasons' dvds. "Jack Bauer fan"
I think you would like the show
Planet Earth on discovery channel. It's got beautiful photography and filming of animals all over the world. A recent one showed a fox snatching a baby snow geese from it's nest, and you feel awful but then it shows the fox bringing the food to babies of it's own and realize it needs food too! It's all a perfectly laid out plan and we humans are the ones who really mess up the balance on this planet. 
Anyone who can tell me what that show was about
I did not see and therefore cannot comment.
I like that show too.

Has she been on the show
yet? I don't remember anybody named Maureen. I heard something, but it's a big time SPOILER so I don't want to say it, but I just can't think of who she is
It does not show W. VA. nm
:
the show is
The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet. Hopes this makes it on board.
Just show the cat the box
Just take her and put her in the box. She will naturally know what to do and should start using it again. If not, I would call a vet.
Best show on TV

Just the best show ever!
Funny, weird with some great eye candy.
There is a show that comes on TLC
that is filmed at the Brookhaven Clinic for morbidly obese people. They mentioned on that show that some of the residents had to be taken to the zoo for imaging because they were too heavy/large for regular equipment.
No, this is a different show s/m
True life, where unless I missed it (only saw the last 15 minutes), no religion is involved.
She will get her own show on TLC. Everyone will
xx
Yes, to me, he WAS the show. That
episode tears me up every time I see it. It was never the same after he left.
Just goes to show ya ....
I watched it and then the interview on GMA and that was priceless. What a truly joyful, humble and talented lady. I could have just smacked Simon - actually all the judges and most of the crowd for their initial reactions. Guess she showed them all looks are not everything and I am so happy this lady is getting all this acclaim. She is just priceless.
There is a show that comes on BET
on Sunday and it is called "Sunday Best." Anyone on that show beats what they have on Idol this year. I have basically stopped watching. No matter if Susan looks like poop, the people are sure taken with her. Adam will go the way of Taylor Hicks and Fantasia, one shot.
Probably not but maybe they'd contact them to be on the show! ; )

I didn't see the show
 if it isn't too much trouble, could you tell me just a little more about "The Secret"
She seemed VERY nervous to me throughout the show, but
.
What is this show about? Haven't seen it.

I haven't seen his show but...
have seen the ads for his show on HGTV. He looks fun. Like you would want to invite him over to a party at your house, even if he couldn't decorate for you!!
Don't know about what he does with silk but whatever it is, I bet it is snappy!!!
Would like to show these legs but
ladies, come on now, who has a good remedy for OMG, that dreaded cellulite. I would not be showing these ole legs except for the fact I have to take some recommended water aerobics for my fibromyalgia and cover as much as I can but wish I could wear a mu-mu. Any ideas out there. Hey, by the way, do not want to hear about using used coffee grounds. Heard you could mix those with body oil and smear on legs. What a mess- did not work and then had that mess in my shower to boot!!
Just show them. Be proud of what you have.
That's my opinion, anyway. :) Don't be worried about how you look to others; most of them are probably all in a tizzy about what others think about them, too, and you don't really care what they look like, right?
That is precisely what this show was about...doing something
and letting people get involved in making a difference. If you don't want to be *in the loop* then don't join in on the thread. Simple as that. It's obvious you weren't realizing what tonight's show was about.
hey fool - the name of the show was....
AMERICAN IDOL GIVES BACK........
They have to fit the show around the commercials.
I could have done without almost everything except maybe 15-20 minutes.
The best show on television by far..
well written, fabulous actors. I am Italian and I am obsessed with the show...love the mob aspect of it, have all 6 seasons on DVD. Will miss my Sunday nights with the family...HBO is out of our house after this season, although I do like Big Love too.
how did you get your avatar to show
I have changed it but it won't show when I post? Watch it work this time.
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 will definitely be watching this show!
Plus, I loooooove Lisa Ling. She is such a great reporter and so brave. She's not afraid to go anywhere to cover a story. I have so much respect for her and am interested in what she will find out when calling the insurance companies.
yes, cool show.

This study seems to show
that 8.7% of patients experience a postop incisional hematoma after a lumbar laminectomy, just to give you an idea of frequency of this complication. Is that what it was called - a hematoma?

Some show some class...
Though she's been everyone's joke, it seems, at least here's one person who's not trashing her.
This was a monologue from 10 months ago. Best thing on TV.

What do they show that so disgusting?
Is it just like an entertainment tabloid show?
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.
Got to the box about yesterdays show, about the man who
the pictures. English on the left and Spanish on the right.
Just goes to show even pretty
people can be insecure. She definitely didn't need any work. I really don't think people age right after plastic surgery, which is why they go back for more.
Oprah's show
I did watch it today...I thought I would have problems as I cannot watch most shows that show how animals are abused. I thought it was very informative and discrete. I will NEVER buy from a pet shop again although I got my buddy from a pet shop..went in for a hamster and came out with a 3 week old kitten in a cage by himself. He used the litter box right away with no problems. He is now 14 years old and is still not able to groom himself properly. He goes against his hair and I just laugh and tell him how handsome he is - even though his hair is sticking up with spit all over. He was not with his mom to learn. He has other problems as being very dependent and sucking on my shirt...again his mom was not there and I am his mom. He constantly "kneads" on me and I tell him it is Saturday and he does not have to make the donuts. All kidding aside, it is very sad how these babies are taken away from their mom so soon. It amazes me how money is SO important yet the babies and moms are put aside as money makers. I love my Sim but he has a lot a problems probably due to being taken away from his mom so soon. The next cat or dog I get will DEFINITELY be from a shelter, and a dog or cat that will be hard to place. Please everybody, the pups and kittens are easy to place, give a home to the ones who are blind, deaf, are HIV, etc., they are so lovable....seems they know they have problems and will give you the love as you give them!! ADOPT THE UNADOPTABLE!!!
