I watched the show last night and ....
IMHO Kate is the one that has changed drastically. I used to watch the show all of the time, always enjoyed it and she always seemed so focused on her kids and her family but last night things seemed way different. To me, she seemed more "Hollywood" and just completely different than Jon. I commend her for fixing herself up but she just seems fake to me now and in my opinion, Jon does not seem to have changed at all. Even at the end of the show when they were talking to her about the things that had been going on (without Jon there at this time), she started crying and made the comment to someone off camera that she did not want to mess up her make up. Also during the interview it was all about her speaking engagements and her book tours, etc., etc., etc. Again, that was just my take on it.
Some news show I watched called those jars "sucker jars" sm
Because the places that have them out are places like Starbucks, pizza joints, the like. What would you be tipping for, exactly, in the case where you order a coffee and the person hands it to you? The same for the pick-up pizza places. The person preparing your pizza gets an hourly wage. I definitely do not tip and the show I saw this on said only suckers do.
And if you watched the show immediately afterwards, you

I only watched this show once and fail to see what

Okay, I haven't watched the show but ...
Since you made the comment, my curiosity won over and I hit the YouTube to see it. YIKES!
Looks like HE was taking advantage. Naughy naughty! Did you see her eyes go huge? And what about how hard she hit the floor on the drop! My back hurt watching it.
Then, the encore performance, she starts shaking her head wildly as if to say, "NO NO NO! Don't you DARE put your lips on me."
He deserved to get dumped by his girlfriend.
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.
I watched the last 15 minutes last night, s/m
I was completely disguisted by this. At the end, they show that the 2nd wife leaves him and then the 1st wife divorces him and is now remarried. Just from what I saw, I would have cringed watching the first 45 minutes of the show.
I'm a Gilmore girl (maiden name) and I have never watched the show...sm
but my sister has, she says it's pretty good.
Well, the last time I watched the show (few years back) I sm
remember Phyllis as a conniving you-know-what! I'm surprised that ya'll like her. She must have changed A LOT! I loved him with Sharon...
I watched Greta last night and heard her now and (sm)
I didn't get the impression she feels sorry for her. I think she is just making the point that there is something wrong her with her, whether it be drug or alcohol withdrawal, or whatever. She said last night that she could be in the prison medical facility.
Watched it last night. First time I have followed this competition. (sm)
I really enjoyed it. They doing this annually?
My husband and I watched part of it last night.
Very fascinating and horrifying, as you said. The footage they have is just amazing.
I watched off and on. 24 premiered last night and I couldn't miss that!

So what will the show now be called -
ha ha ha - Seriously I love the show. One of the best shows on TV.
I ruminated about being called low class last night....
and actually went to bed tossing and turning because I felt pretty crappy after reading that. I felt sad and then I felt tweeked for letting two little words upset me like that.
I simply try to bring a little humor to the table...sometimes it's light humor, sometimes dark, sometimes just plain icky. If I can make someone forget about their problems for just a minute or two, well that makes me happy. I would never ever put someone down the way you did, and I feel good about knowing that about me. So poop on you....you meanie.
Ho Hum show last night
Thought David Cook was not up to par. Although I'm not a fan of Kristy's I think she did well last night and should carry her through another week. Brooke is starting to get boring, she or Syesha may go tonight. Does anyone remember Tiny Tim from the ƌos, the one with the ukulele, I can't help thinking about him when I see Jason playing that thing.
How long was last night's show?
I only got an hour of it recorded, and it cut off before the credits rolled at the end. Was it 2 hours long, as usual, last night and I missed an hour? I hope not. I need my AI infusion!
I didnt see last night's show but SM
I did see her the night before and thought she had that awful stretch-faced look of having too many surgeries. I don't understand how these celebrities think that looks good??!!!??! I like her too but jeez, enough is enough - at some point it's time to grow old gracefully and look normal!
Neat story! My husband called me last night on my cell to tell me sm
that some baby birds were inside my huge wreath on our front door. He asked me if I knew that and I said I had no clue!
Curiosity got the best of me and this morning I went and checked them out. There were 3 of them - so tiny and sweet inside a perfectly circled nest. No momma in sight. I made sure. I snapped some photos from about 5 feet away and everytime they "saw" me they played dead! They would close their eyes and put their heads to the sides. It scared me at first.
Then I came in and heard them yelling again. I think it's so sweet even though my wreath is pretty much ruined now. I don't care. I love having them there. I pray a cat doesn't get them on the front porch when they finally fly...
About American Idol show the other night
I saw where some places calling it I-dull. I was disppointed about the show myself when I thought the performers announced ahead of time would really be there, now that would have been a really good show, did not know about taping ahead of time (Elvis can be excused!) I for one have seen first hand third world poverty with small children begging on the streets and people hardlly having a hut to live in so I was not caught up in all the hype about making a better world. This is sweeps week for the televison show so probably this was what their aim was rather than just the giving back.
Results show is Thursday night.

Saw on Discovery Channel sm
Special showed Nigerians conning people with phony history, etc., and the poor donors being lied to. It's a horrible situation both for the donor and recipient. The only ones who benefit are the con artists big $$$$.
Yes, I enjoy Discovery Channel.
I'll watch for that. I can add it to my DVR recordings, too.
Anybody watch Mystery Diagnosis on Discovery Health?
Amazing how people go for YEARS without the correct diagnosis or being treated for something they don't have.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling.
Heck no, I am not worried about a huge major disaster. Why worry. Does no good and just makes one age faster. I believe things are going to get better. My situation is not dire and if it got to where my husband and I either one lost a job, then I might would cut back some.
falling asleep...
I could ditto your note...sitting here letting my eyes close for little bits feels so good, as do the naps. Then I asked my doc (2 months ago) if I could have a sleep test, and he said "sure"...he has had a huge increase in people taking these tests. Sooo...I took the test - stayed overnight in the hospital all wired up...was really very interesting! and discovered I have severe obstructive sleep apnea!! I never would have guessed it! Two weeks ago I got the CPAP machine and am trying to get used to using it...but find that the last 5 mornings it has been neatly put away on the table sometime during the night...LOL I have no idea when I do that! However, last night I couldn't use it and woke up this morning despirate...could really tell the difference between using it and not using it. I am definitely feeling better with more energy during the day. My line counts are up now 200 a day over previous (and I need to do more). The nurse said I will notice a big difference once I've paid back my body its sleep deprivation - which was an interesting idea. Anyway, I hope you go to your doc and find your way. :^)
falling out of your trailer
this is ridiculous advice.
Between that and her extensions falling off? Yikes is right! LOL

Falling on deaf ears........and
I also urge them to contact their senators and congressman, but I am sad to say too often these things fall on deaf ears. I am forever amazed at how people in this country think if something is imposed by their government, it must be okay! They don't really question why MORE laws, what do we need it for, who is it really benefitting. They just say, "Oh well, what's it hurting. If you're not doing anything wrong you shouldn't care that you are being stripped of your freedoms". Putting more restrictions on US citizens does what for us? Does anyone ever ask what the purpose is for? If they actually think this has anything to do with locating illegals, they are really gullable. The government knows where illegals are....they're in sanctuary cities, heck, they're in my city. Do you see them rounding them up and deporting them? They're marching down our streets holding the Mexican flag.....get a clue...it has NOTHING to do with protecting us. The borders are wide open to illegals, north and south. Instead of taking our freedoms from us, crack down on businesses hiring illegals, quit giving them welfare assistance, free education, free healthcare, free, free, free for ILLEGALS, and guess what?.....no jobs, no healthcare, no freebies, they will go back home. Their home. Does anyone actually ask why we are creating this new law? It's as if they don't really want to know, don't want to be bothered with reading and studying the bill, don't want to question why this is even necessary. If our government says to, then of course it must be good for us because, after all, we are too dumb a people to think for ourselves, at least that's what the federal government hopes, that you'll all sit on your complacent behinds and do nothing......until the deed is done.
Why am I falling asleep all the time?
I get 7-8 hours a night but during the day, at least for a month now, I've been falling asleep while working! They are really short "naps" maybe a few seconds or more, but this is driving me up a wall, not to mention my paychecks are suffering since I have to back track and relisten to everything I supposedly typed.
I've had this problem for years but it usually only lasts a week or two, and then I'm back to normal. This year, I can count on my fingers the days I didn't have this happen. Some days, I will take a quick cat-nap and before I know it, 2 hours has fallen by the wayside.
BTW, I just started to take vitamins a couple months ago. Could I be" _$$ backwards" and the vitamins cause this problem?
Thanks for your answers.
We got snow!!!!!! Yipeee!!! Its falling in big, big
My little kitty is outside chasing the snowflakes and hopping in it like a rabbit. How I am supposed to work with this fun stuff going on outside?
Thank you God for nature's beauty and the critters we love.
i can't believe you are falling for someone's story that probably isn't true
Really, who, in the situation this Philly girl describes herself to be in would REALLY talk about it the way she does? Either this is a very lonely financially strapped person who is living a "make believe" life for the sake of those on this board, or she is insane. I don't know of anyone who has their life together in the fashion described that would be tooting their horn like that on this board. You know,"if it is on the internet, then it just has to be true" NOT. People like that make up situations and cause chaos and friction in order to get the responses that she has been getting. That is the payoff. The responses. This person is not who she says she is, so we can all just feel sorry for this person with the "make believe life" who acts totally opposite to the position she states she is in. Her behavior is more telling than her words.
I meant to type that for scars which we got a lot of from running around and falling down..the
lemon juice really works very well for fading scars. I will admit that there are some things on the market today that are really good; but from a personal (and financial) standpoint, what I learned from my grandmother does work very well for me. All you ladies have a good weekend...
my kids high school has rats falling from ceiling
For the record, Howard County Maryland was just ranked #1 in per capita income IN THE COUNTRY, yet my kids high school had 6 rats fall through the cafeteria ceiling Wednesday. Last year it was rats and sewage - three separate instances where sewage came up through the emergency shower, dripped from the hall ceilings, and came through the child life development pipes. Oh, sure that was fixed. And how in the world did the health department okay this? I tell ya, we sure do NOT put our money where our mouth is on this education battle. Our team mascot should NOT be Ben the rat!! Just so angry over it all.
Vet called before and after surgery, and assistant called this
this afternoon. I cant wait to see her. She has only been gone for 1 day and as one lady stated, the house is empty. Working from home, I have become quite attached to her and her to me. Thanks for all the well wishes and Boo Boo Kitty thanks you too !!
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!
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.
I had the same thing the night before...last night though (sm)
made teriyaki chicken and macaroni and cheese from a box. Tonight is chicken and rice. Tomorrow night is leftover teriyaki chicken :-)
Well, I watched it and what I got out of it
was that it was a very impressive and famous defense team, an unprepared and unknown prosecution team, and apparently a bunch of either not too bright or biased jurors. It was the joke of the century not the crime of the century as far as I am concerned. Nicole and Ron Goldman's blood was found in his car and his blood was at the scene! Case closed.
I watched every day
I felt he was guilty, still do.
i watched that also
on fox but another network reported that Entertainment Tonight actually made a sizable contribution to the church. would be interesting which one is actual the truth
Has anyone else watched this stuff?
I watched this on CNN last night and this guy had been planning this for a LONG time. Even the news station had to edit the video because of language and could not show all the pictures either, much less read anything of what he wrote. One newscaster did say, however, after reading over some of what this guy was spouting off in his video, was that the whole motive behind any of this was envy. Envy of what other people had, as far as possessions. He even idealized himself as a martyr, comparing himself to Jesus Christ. This guy had been stated as being an imminent danger to himself and others two years ago by a clinical psychologist! Now really, I seriously do not think any of his sick psychosocial mental fixations had anything to do with him being from korea! He was just a walking time bomb that exploded. JMO
I watched it today
not too bad, kind of leaves you with the idea that their lives will go on as usual with the normal changes etc. Of course it is just a television show ;-)
Watched it - YUK - Can you say Morticia?
nm
I thought the same but then I watched
and thought it was surprisingly good. It always amazes me to see how people with billions of dollars live. I can't even imagine living her life for one day. Must be nice. I say good for her for snagging a billionaire! I said snagging, not shagging. Well, that too. LOL
OMG! Watched on HBO and I was disturbed too. SM
I can't believe you posted this. I watched late last night on HBO. Five minutes into the movie you knew what was going to happen. The glowing reviews stated the fantasy part was wonderful, but found the fantasy as dark as the reality. What a grim story. I thought something was wrong with me, because everyone else I know who saw it said it was wonderful.
we watched movies
Chuck and Larry was one of them. We had shrimp cocktail and stuffed clams and those little hot dog pastries and mini quiches, and then at midnight champagne and Italian pastries. It was a nice night. Happy 2008 all.
I haven't watched it, but
I believe it's the real thing. I watch a lot of reality shows, but this one definitely didn't interest me.
I watched the Dog Whisperer
deal with this very situation, but, sorry, for the life of me I can't remember his solution, but they implemented it and it worked. Maybe he has a website or a book? Sorry no help, but Good Luck!
I haven't watched N/T yet
Unfortunately I've got a nasty cold and went to bed really early last night. I'm going to watch it this afternoon. I heard there were major cliffhangers.
I haven't watched it yet, but
isn't it to the performer's advantage not to win? I know they're all under contract because they go on tour, but doesn't the winner have to pay AI a proceed of their net sales if they produce an album? I might be wrong on that, but I think that's what I remember reading somewhere when the show first started.
If that is the case, David C. would have been very smart not to come out on top last night. He definitely got great PR and exposure on the show, but now maybe can cut his own deal with AI getting any $$$.
As for the performers, I like them both but have been a DC fan up to this point. Of course, I haven't watched it yet (thank goodness for DVR), but DA is just a little too young for me and I like more the rock music.
