No one really grabbed me like I would like them to. Adam was okay but I am just not into him as well. The group overall had none of the zing felt with the first group. Oh, well, I think there is a brand new group next week, isn't that so and how many more groups are there?

Agree with last night's group
I wasn't wowed by anyone last night really. Obviously Lil was good, and I actually did like the one girl who had been brought back... can't remember her name. I didn't think any of the guys were that great. That kid who did That's Why They Call It The Blues... that was embarassing. I find it surprising that they passed up other people for some of them that they have in the 36. Anyone, I thought week 1 was much better and even thought last week was better than this group. As far as the format, I don't like it all that much either. However, I do remember that my Clay, still my favorite then and forever (lol), ended up on the show as a wildcard.
more disappointed on 9/10/07 when
At that point, as of 9/10/07, I'm dumping The View........
I *heard* that Ellen Degeneres' show might be shown at the same time as The View. Guess what? That's where I'll be headed if that happens!! Love her show and she is just so not controversial and SHE IS SMART!! I think Sherri Sheperd is lacking in the latter area plus 3 comediennes on the panel? I don't think so......
And Barbara Walters needs to leave. A lady always knows when to leave but Baba Wawa just doesn't get it. 
I am very disappointed
that those are the final 2, but it is a game and they got to the end even though most of us don't appreciate their tactics. I do believe that the person in 2nd place gets money as well, though not as much. I would not bet on them getting along real well after getting out of the house though.
I'm so sorry. You must be really disappointed.
I live in the mid-Atlantic, and we get a real mix of weather. Never tons of anything for months at a time, but every couple of months (or hours!) the weather changes. I was glad that the snow missed us. I hate the shoveling. But it is pretty stuff.
Have you ever been disappointed in your
DD or DS on how they are raising your grandkids. I don't want a rant on DDILs or DSILs.
I spent the week-end keeping the Grands while mom and dad worked. They do not listen well at all. DGS is ADHD, he is not doing well in school and his behavior (at home, not school) is awful. Like I say they do not mind, and DD and DSIL let it go until they are mad and then they yell and threaten to spank them. The kids know that 9 times out of 10, nothing will happen, so they don't quit.
They do listen to me and their other grandmother, because if we say we are going to spank, we do.
They also do not eat well. They eat, fishsticks, chicken nuggets, pizza bites, peanut butter, french fries, yogart and maybe a few other things.
Mom and Dad are junk eaters so they don't serve other things.
I'm disappointed I won't be able to use my little sm
battery-operated TVs anymore. They came in handy during long power outages.
Sm's right. In other words, you can't "watch TV" without a converter box, but still can use the TV for previously recorded things or rental movies on DVD or VHS.
So disappointed
OK New Englander and Heroes hit the nail on the head. I just wanted clarification that I was not the only person who had this impression. I don't usually go on public forums to vent BUT...........
Four years ago I met a guy who is a firefighter/paramedic/ER tech (on his days off and when I met him he was training police across the nation for Homeland Security in Haz mat response. He is college educated, polite, very well mannered. We have seen each other a few times since I met him and we email and talk frequently. Sounds like a nice guy, right?
The first of Feb he called me and asked me if he could borrow some money for an unexpected property tax bill. He changed jobs and moved to a different state right about the time the housing market started to bottom out. I know in the state I live in if your property is not your principal place of residence your tax rate changes. Soooo long story short...I sent him a cashier's check, he emailed me and called me and said thanks I couldn't have done it without you. Then he started talking about coming to my house and do some work for me to work off some of the money and I was thinking well I really need the money but I thought I would just let that part play out. Then the end of April I emailed him and said I really need to know if you can start paying something on this loan. You guessed it...he has not answered, nor has he called me. Three more emails have gone unanswered. My whole family was police officers and I always held police and fire in high esteem....these are the people who put their lives on the line for us everyday. Boy am I ever stupid.....So anyone have any ideas?
Really disappointed this year but still watching
I have chosen Melinda since the beginning but Jordan was also good last night. I like your choices but after that it is all downhill for me. This is the weakest crowd of singers yet. Saw them in concert about 3 years when they made their rounds afterward, not wasting my time anymore. I hope the worst goes, otherwise I fear for the show's staying power.
I'm also disappointed that you chose this route.
It seemed obvious that you didn't want the paddling to happen, but you caved and let someone else (school and daughter) make the decision.
Whether one is for or against corporal punishment isn't even the issue for me. The bigger thing with me is the thought that some adult getting may be getting his/her thrills from paddling a teenage girl.
So disappointed in Whoopi today on The View!
I live in the deep south and talking about Michael Vick today Whoopi is so misinformed. I have sent the show an email and hopefully it gets to her attention but having said that, she was saying how dogfighting was a cultural thing here in the "deep south." I was born and raised in the south and know of no one who condones this type of inhumane behavior. with her having said that with such authority as really knowing the facts, I think puts southerns in a terrible light. I myself am a huge animal lover with lots of pets and her statements really offended me and I am sure other southerns. Maybe she will get enough feedback to acknowledge she might ought to research a little further before making overall statements about how southerns are.
I'm disappointed that you said yes - you can go to the school and change your mind! (nm)

Yes, they are basically against everyone but themselves I think (nm)

Basically the same as we always have
Swimming in our pool, visiting friends, eating outside on our deck. We go out to dinner every Saturday with friends to get a break from the kids, and this weekend we're going to our local Balloonfest so not much driving involved. Luckily everything is pretty close by and we usually only spend approximately $80 a week on gas for two cars.
I'm very disappointed, but not in what you call "anti-Christian posts."
Have you heard this famous quote from St. Francis of Assisi: “Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.”
He was a very great man who encouraged Christian action and greatly discouraged people preaching AT others.
Looking at holiday pics, I am so disappointed in my double chin. sm
Any ideas how to get rid of this fat bag around my chin/neck area? Do you just have to lose a lot of weight for it to decrease? I am obese at 180 lbs, 5Ɗ". But boy it just looks horrible in pics. It bothers me more than the actual overall weight does. Guess diet is in for my New Years's resolutions........
This is basically what I have been doing the last few years (sm)
But I don't think he is just going to go away...he has a good job, 401K, and we have a lot of equity in our home...in other words, I would cost to much for him to leave. Even if he has another woman that he is all excited about, the money is very important to him. But basically I have started doing my own thing, not calling him, etc. He has been upset saying that I don't even miss him when he has been gone..he takes all these trips and then we are supposed to have a big party for him every time he comes home. Well, we've been married 14 years - he leaves because he wants to be gone, so I am not going to throw a big party for him every time he comes home.
Well put? It was basically unintelligible...
.
Basically you are saying you are not trusting him
now, even before he moves in permanently, otherwise you would not be, as you state, paranoid about his cell phone. Trust is upmost important in a relationship. If you don't have that, it is really doomed from the start. Been married almost 10 years now and never have checked a cellphone, email, nothing that pertains to my husband. I think women sometimes have an extra sense so to say and they know when something is up. Maybe that is what is happening with you. In my case, I have never had 1 minute of worrying about him. In another relationship I knew before I saw or heard. Called women's intuition.
She has basically admitted that the swats
are no punishment, so if you don't make her do the suspension for the 5 tardies, she will have no punishment for it at all, and thus it will probably continue. She'll just take the swats each time. You'll have to sign the paper for it this time and then they'll have it on file and won't ask you about it for further incidents. (BTW, I've got nothing against spanking, but only by a parent in this day and age, and certainly not a 14-year-old.) If she is really concerned about her grade, she'll get to class on time after this suspension.
Basically just lost my son when he married into
my DIL's family. Just sucked him clear in. No time for our side of the family after that, not his g'parents, his maternal side, aunts, uncles, cousins, no one. It was all her side that mattered. I got charged for any work around the home I needed done by my son, he did her family's for free. I tried to be there but never barged into their lives and now not in their lives at all. I do not worry about things anymore, no use in it and just try to work and live my life to my liking. His marriage just kicked me to the curb and it used to hurt but not anymore. I have accepted I do not play a part in my son's life nor his childrens.

I have some health issues that basically prohibit
a lot of the things I mentioned, bending, stooping, cleaning, etc. and I can afford to have someone and why should I not? Oh, by the way there is a lot of time she watches television, I do not mind and I pay her per hour more than I make an hour so I think for 4 hours here is a good pay. The thing was I only had 1 pair of panties (I felt should wear to an appointment this morning, knew exactly where I put them and they were not there.) If you knew how much I gave her, not only money but have bought her grandkids things at Christmas, given her clothing, lots of things when she asked, then you would understand about why I am upset she stole something from me. I buy clothing and then do not like and give her brand new things with the tags still on them so I have a right to be upset about someone stealing.
My SIL makes it this way and the meat basically falls off of the bone.
I know that once she gets the pork seasoned, she puts in a small roasting pan and then sets it in a "bano maria" at 250 degrees like for 10-12 hours depending on the size. I will see if I can get the recipe from her. As far as the seasoning, it all depends which way you want it, for Cuban style mojo seasoning, it can be bought already made in a bottle at the grocery's store in the international food section, probably Goya brand. Then, there is the other seasoning with the oregano, salt, vinegar, garlic, black pepper, and olive oil.

And Thursday night is safer than Friday night - how?
We used to live in a town that was once in the Guiness Book of World Records for number of churches per capita (which by the way was the worst place I've ever lived - discourteous, Nazi schools, etc.), and they wouldn't let us trick or treat on Sundays. Ridiculous! People can say what they want but celebrating Halloween doesn't make you a devil worshiper! Just my 2 cents!
Basically stick to a schedule. Laundry is only "housework" while I"m working. Keep calls sh

I did a lot of research! Basically, I scoured the public notices in the local paper. SM
You know, the ads that say a certain property will be auctioned off on the courthouse steps on a certain day at a certain time. Well, I learned quickly that just because you've read the public notice does not mean the property will actually get sold when advertised. Like the person said below, a lot of times the owners rehab and pay back payments right at the last second. The trustee selling the property is usually an attorney hired by the bank or mortgage company that hold the loan on the property. You can call the attorneys and find out if a propert is still being auctioned off which I did a number of times. Once you find out who holds the mortgage, you can contact the bank or mortgage company directly and make an offer.
For my particular house, it was a waiting game. They actually listed it with a real estate agent and wanted $80,000 when they first listed it. I called the real estate agent they listed with after it had been on the market for about three months. They were asking $60,000 at the time I looked at it. I thought they were crazy cause it was a 2 bedroom that needed a lot of work. Just so happened that at the time I walked through it I was stilling bickering with the insurance company over my settlement, so I wasn't quite ready. Then, three months later I'm at the grocery store (I live in a small town and it is wonderful!) and someone was telling the cashier about a little blue house that had been for sale for a long time and nobody was interested in it because the basement was a cinder block basement which scared people off. Anyway, long story short, the person said they were now asking $45,000 for the house. I had just settled with the insurance company and thought nows my chance to get a great deal!
I called the mortgage company and offered them $36,000. I low-balled because I was prepared to negotiate. They countered with the full asking price. So I countered with a $40,000 cash offer. I said they would be crazy not to take it because I was a cash buyer, didn't have to wait for financing, and didn't require a mechanical inspection. My brother-in-law waterproofs and pours basements for a living. I had him look at the basement and told me that it was a dry basement and he would get a bobcat from work and dig out the dirt around the foundation of the house and waterproof it from the outside and that should make it solid. I have cousings who are trim carpenters and roofers, although the roof was in good shape, no leaks. So I felt safe not having a mechanical inspection especially because I have all this help should something go bad.
The mortgage company decided to sweat me out and didn't give me an answer for two weeks. What they didn't realize is I wasn't sweating because I thought they'd be crazy to pass me up. My waiting paid off. They called the Monday after the 4th of July holiday and said it's yours if you still want and I said "I do."
I bought the house As-Is. Also this was a foreclosed property which means the owners that were foreclosed on cannot rehab the loan and take back the property. It's mine once we close.
So that's how I did it and I can't believe I did do it because I actually felt like I didn't know anything when I started. I just prayed a lot and feel like I had some divine intervention for sure!
I think you are taking this out of context...I originally asked about my in-laws basically coming ov
and then the issue of locking doors and security gets brought up...why is it you can't post something on these boards without it being blown out of proportion???
Yeah, the True Blood series is basically like soft porn...
definitely not advisable for a 14 year old!!!
Meatus, labia, mucous membrane...basically all genitalia related words...
make me throw up a little in my mouth. LOL
Group singing
I think the group songs have been much better this year than previous years I've watched. Mostly their voices blend well and pitch has been good.
Didn't Chris sing well during his solos in the group songs? I think it was just fierce competition/tough schedule that dis him in. Either that or he just wanted to go home.
The name of the group is Heartland -
I just looked up the words to see if I could find them - I did - I cried again.
Hope they are a better group than this

Maybe a cat or dog rescue group needs help. - nm

Choosing a group
You can pick a charity by clicking on the "Add a Charity" button at the bottom of the page. On the next page, on the left side, is a box for the not-for-profits groups. If you click that you will see all the groups listed.
Or you can just type in "Pet Rescue By Judy" and use that one, LOL!
Once you have selected your group you can check how much your are helping by clicking on the "amount raised" button.

Youth Group Name
My DH is a youth pastor, our Youth Group at the beach was called WAVES, which stood for Worship Active Voices Exclaiming Salvation. We moved up to the mtns of our state, and he had coined the name for our Youth Group as EXCITE, which stands for Exalting Christ in Today's Environment!!. We are still looking for a home church since we moved in Jan 2007. My DH is getting very disheartened... Good luck to your Youth Group. Oh, by the way, if you live anywhere close to Myrtle Beach, SC then consider taking your youth next year to the Big God Conference on New Year's eve/day. It is AWESOME!!
Wonder what a group of men would be saying about women?
sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Please don't group everyone under the assumption
that our jobs are unfulfilling. I enjoy my work and am very happy with my accounts.
Oh, and I think anyone can start a group there.
You can start an MTStars group most likely. It will advertise MTStars as an MT forum and then if people use monikers, they can say who they are, or they can just be a part of the Facebook MTStars group. I am not sure if MTStars would mind or not, so maybe we should ask the admin, but I would think the would want posters to draw their friends here. JMO. I don't want to step on any toes though. It is networking and I learn a lot from Stars.
So, Yeah, Thanks for being here MTStars...
I feel bad for the 1st group. There were
several more of them that would have made the top 12 if they have been included in this group rather than their own.
If it is the group I heard about on the news...
They are an extremely disturbed church group who protest at the funerals of soldiers who died in Iraq, but get this, not against the war, but against gay people. Nutty right? They protest and yell that the soldiers are dying because God is punishing America for being too accepting of gay people. Very sick. They do this at soldiers' funerals throughout the nation, regardless of if the dead soldier is straight or gay.
I get a knot in my throat whenever I think about those poor grieving families, but Harley Davidson riders around the country have come together to form a solid line of riders between the families and the protestors.
A recently used solution against this group
was applied by Hells Angels. No joke.
The Hells Angels motorcycle group was nearby where a protest was being held and they showed up! Ran off every single one of the Westboro derelicts.
First time I've ever been in favor of Hells Angels.
Don't group all girls in that same generalization.
It is not fair. My DD as well as my nieces are all really good girls. I am not fooling myself. One niece is getting ready to leave for Liberty College becuase she wanted to attend a christian college. None of the girls dress unappropriately. They are all very good students and all but one are active in youth groups. The one that isn't has a job so that she can help out with her soon to be large college bill. Not all girls are out hunting down guys.
Oh, forgot to say females that are in a group
seem to have their periods synchronized. Just think, if all these girls got theirs at the same time, no pool for a week? Oh, I forgot, get an excuse.
I think you do want to join you're just to shy to say so - group hug? nm

There is one from the 10 Minute Solutions group.
xx
I agree totally. This group could not
compare to the first. There is only 1 more group left. I personally liked Allison (the redhead), and Kris (the guy after her), and Adam. He has been 1 of my favorites from the beginning. I also wanted to like Kai and was disappointed with his performance.
The "Harley Group" people speak of here
Are actually the Patriot Guard Riders
http://www.patriotguard.org/
They are made up of anyone who wants to join. You don't have to ride, you can go on foot or by car.
My husband and I are riders and are really proud of all the fine people in the Patriot Guard.
They usually don't go though, unless the family requests/consents, because they don't want to cause additional grief. Instructions are to not engage troublemakers, and shield the families as much as possible.
Thank God for Patriot Guard riders!
Just got a foster dog from a local rescue group
Very sweet, but has a bad cough that's been going on for over a week. I've been asking the rescue group if I can take him in to the vet, but they keep saying no. I don't have a job, so I don't have the money to do it myself (I do have the time). I'm certain the rescue group is concerned about money, but this seems unfair to me and the dog. For all I know he could have any number of things wrong. They are telling me it's a cold, and to just wait until he's better before he goes in to be neutered.
What's the right thing to do? What should I tell the group's organizer?
Suggestions?
Thanks.
They are a largely Hispanic group though. My brother
was homeless at one point and got woken up with one chopping him up with a machete, their signature weapon. They are an extremely dangerous gang. We moved way out to get as far as we could from that stuff in a great part of town and I am seeing tags already from them.
Somehow my brother lived. He even managed to keep his arm they almost chopped off. We think it was part of an initiation.
