rich and famous
I have heard a lot lately about how these rich and famous movie stars really hate their "crazed" fans and the paparrazi. I make mental notes of each and every one so that if I should ever come across them in public, I can pretend I don't see them. I also make a note in my head of the people who are nice to their fans, just in case...
I beg to differ; NOT just the *rich and famous*..sm
this problem crosses every socioeconomical level.........it's not just involving the rich and famous.........
again, weak comparison; we are educated in BCP now, she is famous and rich

Yeah, but that theme song, once you hear it,
Make that theme song go away 
Donna/Barb doing Enough Is Enough; Helen Reddy's I Am Woman; Carly Simon's theme song from Wor

MADE OUT LIKE A BANDIT, STOLE EVERYONE'S MONEY, I AM RICH, RICH, RICH
Not. Tired of trying to explain to people who apparently do not understand the English language.
When our rich uncle got out of the poor house we'd be rich...sm
when we were young we'd think we'd be rich one day and it took us a while to catch on!
Do you have a theme or....
is this for a special event, ie..Thanksgiving?
No theme - just friend getting together
NM
variation on that theme (sm)
If you find a good deal on clear acrylic/plastic cups, you could stack round cookies inside, then wrap with plastic wrap and put a bow on top. Would be easy to transport a quantity of them without squishing.
Do you think a "winter wonderland" theme would be okay and
somewhat generic?
Continuing the weird theme you started...
I've had beer bottle man (not a happy ending) and pool stick man and my own cucumber man.
Pool stick man was in his 70's and claimed he was using said stick to relieve a fecal impaction. He also went on to claim that such a self-taught home-based maneuver had been quite successful for him on more than one occasion in the past. That time, however, the stick broke off....
My version of Cucumber Man resulted in forceps extraction under anesthesia due to the copious amounts of personal lubricant that he had used in the insertion process. That doctor could not stop laughing throughout the entire operative report!
Vegas baby! But no theme, just semi-traditional nm

No famous HS friends, but...
my FIL worked as a security guard for several Elvis Presley's Memphis events. He was a sheriff department reserve officer and they were chosen regularly for Elvis' appearances.
My former step-mother owned a night club in Port Arthur, Texas, where Janis Joplin and her band played regularly...before she was famous.
My parents assembled the dryers/heaters that cleaned up the radiation spilled at the Three Mile Island accident in the seventies.
famous person
Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn (Lord of the Rings)...
Famous person
John Edward (psychic) so he could give me a reading.
Famous person at the door
Julian McMahon from N/T or Adam Levine from Maroon 5. Either way I'd probably faint dead away. LOL.
Famous Footwear is a chain going up into the larger
s
Famous highschool or college classmates?
Anybody go to high school or college with someone that now is famous? My husband graduated high school with Dennis Basso. He is a designer who is on QVC a lot. I want my husband to call QVC everytime he is on to chat with him for laughs but he refuses. He says he was a loner in school, Dennis, I mean. Now look at him. Bringing home the big $$$$$
If a famous person were to just show up at your door sm
who would you want it to be?
Famous last words. Only a penny. Say that every year and then what? nm

Well, not famous for high school but my departed husband was friends with
Ernie Shavers (older boxer who fought Ali for the world championship) and he used to come to our home and he called me after husband died saying to contact him if I needed anything at all, also talked with Ali on the phone years ago and husband said I could meet him if I wanted but I would have been too tongue-tied to do anything but stutter, I am so star struck! Ernie was built like a brick ____ house!
Anything really rich with A LOT of
chocolate! Funnt, didn't even like choclate as a kid, love it now!
RICH!!!!
HA!
why could not have I been born rich
instead of goodlooking? 
only if he is rich.......but really I would not date - sm
a guy more than a few years younger. I did date a few guys younger 2-5 years which I realized later was a big mistake (in my 20s). My DH is about 7 years older and works out well.
I want some dark, really rich
coffee and I do not know what to buy to get this taste. I have used Folgers, Maxwell House and others and never can duplicate what I drink at other places. As far as the Starbuck's I usuallly buy when out and around and just to give me a perk up. I can take or leave. What kind of coffee is really rich and good tasting, anyone?
I think the rich are just whining
I see no slump at all in my neighborhood. No one is cutting back on anything. I think the poor have been poor for so long, the pain has trickled up to the rich at last! What a bunch of babies. They might have to eat bologna instead of sushi.
Poor little rich girl!
With all Paris' money - can't she get a chauffeur to take her partying?? HELLO?? She deserves much more than she's getting!
I went with more rich colors in my home
I am not into the lighter colors. I have the white woodwork with white plantation shutters but my rooms are anywhere from cobalt blue (kitchen) to an eggplant in the dining room. Just got new slate in my bathroom with the golds, blues and the like and wondering if I should paint the walls there (this is a fairly new home for me, so doing bit by bit as far as decorating). I have a white bedroom but that may change also (just had new dark blue carpeting put in that room). I always leave my ceilings white. I love my workroom (which used to be a child's bedroom) because I had the room painted a dark colonial blue and it is heaven to work where I love the color so much but then again for once I love all the colors in my home. It was not always like this and I have about 3 gallons of paint in the garage that I tried and just did not like, returned and got another color that I did like. So far 5 rooms painted and counting.
I was not born rich but over the years
I have had untold wealth given to me, quite a bit. I think where this comes from is the fact that I always and I mean always think about the underdog. I give from my heart to things whenever I can, when I hear a story that I feel I should try to give, animals, people in distress, you name it and if the story says I should try to help a particular cause, I do. I really have tried to impress upon my children and grandchildren IF you give from the heart, it so much comes back to you. I have not run out of money giving, in fact just the opposite, had wealth literally fall in my hands and I think this is why. What a person needs to understand is I give because I really want to, not because I have to and I never look for a return but there always is. I cannot count the times when giving and here money comes back. This is how I try to live my life.
okay, that should be rich. I guess I'll never be it

A tough situation? She's rich.
thinks of this young man now? Ohhhh, maybe it's okay because she's supposedly doing the right thing. Pulleezzee!!!! God bless her!!!
Oh, he still could be married. Never too rich or too thin! NM

Kids have rich fantasy lives - sm
There is something of an art in preserving the kids' fantasies and pretend worlds and at the same time teach them about the real world. The poster mtmomof2 put it especially eloquently when she said she grew to understand the impossibility of Santa and it thus came as no shock to her. That was the way it was with me. As on of four kids, each of us kept up the pretense for the younger ones.
My own kids had even more proof - an accidental double exposure of our Christmas decorated living room with our son and a Santa on a float in a parade, which made it look like he was standing right behind our son. They are now 19 and 17, and plan on using that picture for their kids.
I never lied. I never said "Santa is real." There are lots of ways of perpetuating the fantasy without lying. My favorite was answering a question with a question - What do YOU think?, etc. My kids were quite sheltered and actually believed a long time - about age 10 or so, but never said they felt lied to or deceived. I think it's actually harmful to deprive kids of that kind of magic that only kids can feel while they're innocent and everything is possible. The realities of life will some soon enough!
Probably the same rich & snooty folks who buy $800 Gucci and Prada sm
bags, Jimmie Choo and Manolo Blahnik shoes for $1000 a pair. I heard that Tiffany's is now offering a "plain paper bag" instead of their ritzy printed bag with Tiffany printed on it, b/c the rich are feeling guilty about continuing to buy this overpriced crap while the rest of the country goes down the tubes.
Not rich or snooty either, just love good quality
items and buy them when I want. Who wants to shop at the local mall and get something that everyone else wears and see it all over town? Just like jewelry; I don't wear the average items you see advertised every holiday season that everyone wears and every jewelry store sells. My guy gets my things made at a one of kind store, where at least I know I'm probably the only one who has it.
Learned to hate snobby rich kids.

Yep, there's even a song about it :)
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
I met her there in the corner stand
And wonders where she is
And it's strange to her
Some people seem to have everything
9 am on the hour hand
And she's waiting for the bell
And she's looking real pretty
She's waiting for her clientele
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
Twenty-eight years have come and gone
And she's seen a lot of tears
Of the ones who come in
They really seem to need her there
It's a sacrifice working day to day
For little money just tips for pay
But it's worth it all
To hear them say that they care
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
Already knows, she's seen her bad times
Already knows, these are the good times
She'll never sell out, she never will
Not for a dollar bill
She works haaaaard......
Isn't there a song about that?
Something like,
"I want to check you for nits!"
Something like that. :o}

This song sez it all .......... s/m
Take a break from typing, and download the song, " We Can't Make it Here", by Larry McMurtry.
There should be a phrase in here 'bout Medical Transcription......
you mean the song(s) where the guy (sm)
loses his wife, his girlfriend, his other girlfriend, his ex-wife, his truck, his bicycle, his tractor, his dog, his cat, his lizard, his best friend, his best friend's wife, his best friend's ex-wife, his clothes AND his guitar?!? And then he gets run over by an 18-wheeler but still manages to survive and then becomes an alcoholic?!?
We must be the same age. That song SM
is truly awful and was on the radio every 10 minutes. Now it's going through my brain!!!! NO!!!!
song
If you want a lover
Ill do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
Ill wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
Im your man
If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
Ill examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
Im your man
Ah, the moons too bright
The chains too tight
The beast wont go to sleep
Ive been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or Id crawl to you baby
And Id fall at your feet
And Id howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And Id claw at your heart
And Id tear at your sheet
Id say please, please
Im your man
And if youve got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
Ill disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
Im your man
If you want a lover
Ill do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
Ill wear a mask for you
Song suggestions.
Having a party soon and need some song suggestions. The guest will be from 30 to 50 years old. Need some good dance music and slower songs to play during dinner.
christmas song
Happy Christmas by John Lennon
There is a country song.. sm
Alissa lies. About child abuse. I know this is a little different, but that song makes me so sad. It is hard for your daughter I'm sure not to think about children that struggle with issues of this sort.
That last song definitely was not in his favor
It's always going to happen with those original songs they do. Obviously that was more of a Jordin song than a Blake song. The Clay-Ruben year, they each had their own song. Clay's was "This is the Night." I don't remember what Ruben's was. In any event, they didn't both have to do the same original song. With Blake and Jordin being so different, it would have been nice to have something more fair, more even, instead of Blake having to do something so totally not his style.
Ever have a song going on in your brain that you SM
can't get out? Well, I have Black Eye Peas "Lady Lumps"! I don't even like it, but when channel surfing, MTV2 runs it all the time.  Must be where I heard it.
