I would expect your choice to go tonight and the reason?

In Reply to: The best 2 last night, in my opinion - JT
It seems to me that anytime a contestant in any way wants to refute what a judge, especially Simon, has to say they do not last that much longer. I thought performance last night sounded off tune several times. I expect Danny to continue on as he is a big favorite with the fans. Adam, don't care for him and the rocker chick, not at all.

Not by choice earlier in life, but now no kids by choice
When I was young we desperately wanted kids. We tried for years. (I never took birth control ever, and we even took fertility drugs and planned for multiple kids, just never worked out). Then went through a period of years where husband didn't want them but I did, then years where husband wanted them but I didn't, then about 15 years ago we both decided we didn't want them. We didn't even know what we wanted in life for ourselves and we figured if we couldn't figure out what we wanted why in the world would we bring kids into the world. Now I'm thankful we never did have kids and hope that we never do (I'm 52 with only one ovary - had ectopic pregnancy a few years back), but chances are I do not think we will ever have kids. Now I just cannot tolerate the kids. The little ones are very cute and we love hearing them play in our neighborhood. Some of the things they say are the funniest, but once they get to a certain age it seems like something in them transforms. When they lose the innocence of youth and start becoming little bullies talking back to their parents with their snotty attitudes we just always say, if he was my kid he'd never see the light of day again. Nothing drives me more insane to see the way some of these kids talk to their parents.
But now a days with all the bad going on in the country (around the world) and the country heading for disaster, and if the Mayan calendar is correct and in 2012 we see some major earth changes and the possibilities of civilizations being wiped out, who would want to put their kids through that.
So, I just say - I'm free of kids and loving it!
Do you expect...
that an adult who was never taught to shake it off as a child suddenly knows how to do it just because they've become "of age"? At what age do you suggest we teach people that suicide is their own responsibility instead of someone else's?
Did they say when we could expect this?
I could definitely use $1,800.
Well you know, it always happens when you least expect it but (sm)
But you have to at least be out there to ever meet anyone. If nothing else, there are men who like to have just email friends. There is a free dating site called plentyoffish you can go just check out. I have a newly divorced friend who has met some people to date on there. But there are always people who just want to talk also. Or maybe start out with a male walking buddy, something like that.
Why do people expect
You to do something for them, when they know there is no way in @#$% you can do it.
Why am I still here?
Sometimes it is necessary to explain what you expect
Sometimes it is necessary to explain what you expect. Maybe he will or cannot fulfill all your expectations. But maybe he'll learn and also, maybe, you will learn that all your expectation might not be fulfilled.
I'm sorry, but what do you expect the shelters to do? sm
I worked in an animal shelter for over two years. We go a lot of feral cats in at the shelter. If they were somewhat friendly, then yes we usually put them up for adoption under the title of "good barn cat." If you can't get near them, then there really isn't anything to do BUT to put them down. There is no use endangering the people at the shelters OR the other animals at the shelter with a cat that has been wild too long to tame. JMHO, sorry if it irks you.
Believe me, I am a HUGE animal lover (hence the reason I worked at the shelter for so long). I don't like to see any animal suffering, but sometimes it is necessary. 
What do I expect the shelters to do?
I am not their boss so I can not say what I expect them to do, not up to me. I only do what I can do. I don’t know where you live but here the animals are not kept in so called shelter for 3 days, then put down. This place kills animals twice a week, mostly pits. I don’t take animals to shelters because here the outlook is very bleak for them. I do what I can helping out the furries. What the shelters do is not up to me. Where did you get the idea I expect the shelters to do anything??
Just don't expect a luxurious room unless you are sm
willing to pay big bucks. Most hotel rooms in New York City are small. The assumption is that people don't spend much time in them, but are out and about. Plan on at least about $200 per night. Maybe a little less if you book far in advance.
You need to go back inhouse is you want or expect that. sm
Problem is, as you know, inhouse has now gone to a company. "Deserve"' has nothing to do with anything out here. If you think so, I invite you, form a union.
Until we have anything near to that. you sign a contract, or no contract, and you agree to cover certain hours, on certain days. That is the way it is.
That is an extremely fair pay and I would expect
them to do a great job for that. I have had the same problem with them starting out good and then having to go behind them like you said. I would first start out clearly stating what you want done and that you expect a good job consistently, even 6 months down the line. That is what I've been telling everyone I've talked to is that I need a consistent job each time.
If you expect $60K to rain down from heaven think again
My Bible tells me that the Lord will provide (and has provided) for all of my needs, it does not say he will send money raining down for me whenever I get myself into excess debt. Rest assured that the Lord will provide the faithful with all that they need and plenty of what they want. It is your right to believe otherwise, but do not step on my Christian beliefs in the process.
Luke 12:28, "If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?"
I think we expect that kids won't like veggies, and ....
I think that generally, in this country we do a very bad job of cooking vegetables. And, I think that we just generally expect that kids don't like vegetables. I grew up eating a Mediterranean diet. My grandparents and most of my neighbors were Italian immigrants. We lived in a part of NJ where you could grow just about anything. We had lots of fresh vegetables, lots of fish, and my grandmother made all of her pasta by hand with a combination of white flour and semolina. I don't think any vegetable was cooked longer than a minute or two, and there were always piles of vegetables at every meal. It was just part of the diet.
I have a Korean foster son, and he enjoys things like smoked squid legs and seaweed. It's just the normal diet for his culture. Kids in other countries eat all sorts of things that Americans consider ghastly. So, really, I think it's more just our culture. Americans tend to give kids more bland, smooth foods for a longer time, and then later, the fast food, high-sugar, high-fat culture kicks in. It's just so bad for all of us. I remember thinking that roasted peppers were the best thing in the world, and I clearly remember eating them for lunch when I was too young to go to school. I don't think you'd find too many American parents who'd consider roasted peppers toddler food! LOL
That's my theory, anyway.
Thanks both of you! I do expect to make some people mad (sm)
Don't really care. My enough button has finally been pushed!
I cannot stop laughing! You mean you actually expect me to SM
keep the SAME PICTURE??? LOL! At least if I endure this today I have a slight CHANCE of a better one!! 
I live in PA. . . not sure of my options, but I'm headin' for the mirror right now to FIX STUFF!!! 
"If you expect less than perfection, that is what you'll get?"
That is pathetic.
Someone should report you.
Sorry to say it, but life doesn't always turn out how we would expect.
My DH and I have been home together for over a year now. We both lost our jobs, and we're both working part-time at home now. Sometimes we drive each other nuts and need a break. Sometimes it feels like we're joined at the hip. We often finish each other's sentences. Other times we just stare at each other because we have nothing new to discuss. It's definitely brought us closer instead of driving us apart. We have a lot of common interests, and we're motivating each other to pursue new career fields. We do take the time to get out of the house once in a while.
More and more people are working from home now. The problem is that the home worker needs to not isolate him/herself. Sounds like your DH has done that. Doesn't he have any friends or hobbies? Any outside interests?
Public board. Expect many different kinds of posts.

What else would you expect in a state that brings you Hillary Clinton.
nm.
Well I got a notice from the IRS that I could expect my stimulus check by May 30 and I didnt
get it today. I will get mine by mail. I wonder how far off it comes from when they say it will come.
It was on CNN tonight.

TONIGHT!
Oh, children.......Tonight is the night....Can't wait!
Not tonight.
It's my bowling night (time away from everyone) so it's fast food night, but I love using the crockpot in the fall and I've been looking on the internet for quick easy recipies that I've been trying for the past few weeks.
She may be gone tonight
Hopefully. I can't stand her. Did you notice that she was in the room of the people who were leaving and then they moved her to another room? Rose was the one who's parents had died she had blond hair and was very young. I liked her a lot. I think the guy who's wife died has an amazing voice. He was my pick. I also can't believe the guy who played that character actually made it through to the next round.
AI Tonight
I won't go into who made it either for those who may have it taped, but I was really pleased with the results and loved seeing Michael Johns. Loved him from last year and very hot in person. I hate the format this year like I mentioned above. I liked it better the other years, but this year we get 3 Wild Cards so maybe your favorites who don't make it in the next three weeks will be back.
AI Tonight
I think Lil and Matt or Lil and Anoop will go home tonight. I really do like Anoop though. My top three prediction, Adam, Danny and Chris with Adam winning. (Love Adam). I'd be very happy with a Danny win also. I'm getting my AI concert tickets when they go on said May 9th. I'm so excited!
Thanks for this! I will try this tonight....yummy. nm

AI is on tonight at 8, Dubya at 9! nm

Saw the kitty tonight!
We went to see the cat tonight. She is doing as well as can be expected. Very happy to see us. Apparently, she does not like the tech who is watching her (stranger to her) but started to purr as soon as I scratched behind her ears. Plus I brought her bed. I just hope we brought some comfort to her. It was very hard to leave though. Once again, you all are a great group and your kind words are much appreciated!
Did anyone see "Lost" tonight?
Man, I was so sucked in by Juliet's act - what is her game? Tonight we find out she was angry with Ben because he wouldn't let her go home and she was afraid her sister had died from the cancer instead of being cured like Ben said. Then he shows her pictures of her sister, happy and healthy, with her two-year-old son.
So, even though he won't let her leave, Juliet has every reason to be grateful to him for curing her sister. So was her whole act with the posters telling Jack to kill Ben on the operating table just to gain Jack's confidence - and thereby (with the help of Ben and his magic button that activated an implant they put in Claire) ingratiate herself with the group - and to what purpose?
And is her story about the pregnant women dying true? Yes, one of them appeared to die on the operating table, but obviously while they had Claire they weren't just "saving her life" - they implanted her with some kind of device for their own purposes.
Man....I was really starting to feel sorry for Juliet. I wanted to like her. And now this. Can't wait till next week!
What's for dinner tonight?
I got mine from PA tonight
I'll send it out this week.
Thank you, but I'm so frustrated tonight
as my daughter just came in crying (it's way past her bedtime) afraid that she's going to miss her advanced-math class that she's in because they do group work and there's really no way to make it up once she misses it. This kid even goes to school SICK because she doesn't want to miss school! She's a type A personality, minus the chit-chat.
I never thought I'd have a kid beg me to sign a paper that tells the school to paddle her, but that's exactly what she wants. How do I argue with her when she doesn't want her grade to be affected?
I went through their school handbook tonight with a fine toothed comb and see that indeed corporal punishment versus ISS is the choice in frequent tardies. I've heard rumors that the principal of her school is not very friendly, so I'm really not excited about having to discuss this with him (I'm having a few mini-crises myself right now, and with the holidays, this really is stressing me out).
I want to take the simple way and just sign her paper, but then I don't know, is that really the right thing to do? Probably not.
Calgon, take me away!
Party tonight...
Other than being well hydrated and snacking, any other suggestions to stave off a hangover in the morning....just in case I might have 1 too many Fuzzy Navels?
It's my first NYE party in ages...I'm so excited!!! 
What's for supper tonight? (had to ask)
Yesterday's sounded so good, wondering what is up for today. LOL.
Uh-oh on supper tonight....sm
Last week I made a beef pot roast with the trimmings. When I do this we always have enough for another meal.
Tonight for supper I was going to warm up the rest of the beef and put BBQ sauce on it. I started looking in the fridge and couldn't find the left over roast. So I called my hubby who didn't know where it was. Next I went to the 16 and 7-year-old and asked them where the meat was.
The 7-year-old said "mom - the dogs were looking real hungry the other night so I gave it to them!"
So much for supper tonight! She's never done anything like that before and now knows to never feed the dogs anything other than their usual dog food without permission. I hope the 3 dogs loved their special treat!!!
Ok, N/T is on tonight but I need an update ... sm
What happened to Kimber and Matt. I keep forgetting it is on and the last one I saw was that Matt and Kimber were meth heads and the baby was not doing so good. And...how did Julia end up with Christian? What happened to her lesbian lover??
Thanks! Now that I am remembering it is on, I am trying to catch up!
Thanks for recipe. Will try it out tonight. nm
Been a while - What's for dinner tonight??
Looking for ideas! :)
Ok, now I definitely have to watch it tonight
and not wait until Monday. :)
definitely watch tonight! enough said! nm

Tonight we are having spaghetti.

Well, my fav got dismissed tonight
but according to what you are saying, my favorite, Ricky might stand another chance. I think he is really good. I knew Titiana (sp?) was finished. She had a good voice but the craziness is not something that plays out good with the audience. I think she was trying to fake the tears upon leaving last night. I am surprised the Anoop or Enoop ?? was dismissed. Thought shades of the other Indian guy being on forever and not having an oz of talent but the looks to get him through (how soon I forget their names). I am agreeing with you this morning, maybe for the last time, but I also do not like the format. I like Michael, big ole teddy bear he is. I really like Danny. He is probably my favorite but again the sympathy factor might play some in that. Talk AI later.
I think the bottom 3 tonight will be
Lil, Matt, and Allison. Possibly Kris. I think Matt's going home, simply because he's not as memorable as some of the others even though I really like him.
what's for dinner tonight?
If it was left up to me I would just have popcorn, but I have a husband and kids who get hungry every once in a while. Oh the good old single days when I could have a Pop Tart for dinner and be satisfied!!
DH's choice
This is the dog my DH says we can have! He is 5 years old. He has been a show dog, but he finds it too boring, so we get to adopt him .... if Sasha approves of him. Do you think he's pretty?
http://www.synama-wintersweet.com/trey.asp
I am told this is an excellent line for show Siberians. You can tell who the champions are (to see their other dogs, click "Our Siberians" tab at the top) by the CH before their names. 
don't have a choice....
have to get the kids off to school, but most of the time still in my pjs
My choice . . .
Denzel Washington, Paul Newman, Robert Redford.
Again, you do not know whether they had a choice
or not. This is simply your opinion that they did not have a choice. Yes, teenage girls, or boys, for that matter, can be married with the consent of their parents. Again, we do not know the facts in this case. You have even gone as far as saying the men are "old and stinky." How exactly do you know this? You do not... That is simply your opinion. I have lived in St. George, Utah, which is very close to an area where these people live, and I have seen many young (20s-30s), what I would consider attractive men, married to these women. It is best not to stereotype people, especially when all of the facts are not available.
It is not your choice...
As I stated above, it really is NOT your choice! She could REQUEST leave, or a reassignment, but nothing is saying that it will be approved! Especially in the Marines! There aren't always, "ways to get around that."
choice-
gay is a choice sort of like being male or female is a choice, sort of like having brown eyes is a choice, sort of like being tall is a choice. Whatever. One does not choose to be gay nor does one decide to be gay.
