When I watch that show "Intervention" on A&E
s
Not a show I watch but will next week
just to catch a glimpse of her. My deceased husband friends with him and I spoke with him once via phone oh years ago when he was in town. My husband said he could introduce us and I said no, no, I would be so excited would tinkle on myself. A visitor in our home was boxer Ernie Shavers who boxed Ali for the heavyweight championship, the year of that match do not remember but know hubby told Ernie he had watched the match and should have won. Ernie Shavers contacted me after husbands death saying if anything I needed, just contact him. I remember he was built like a brick s----- house! OMG.
The only show I watch on a regular basis
is Grey's Anatomy - could NOT live without it!! Really, that's the only TV I watch too. I catch glimpses of other shows as I'm walking through the living room but have too much to do to just sit there.
I agree with you...I don't watch the show anymore.
I used to, but first I got sick of how Kate treated Jon and really the lack of respect they have for each other...now it really makes me sad that the show continues and their family/marriage is falling apart. How can Americans watch a show where a family is crumbling before our eyes! Is it the morbid curiosity of it all? I cannot morally watch it anymore. I feel very sorry for the kids and have no respect for Jon and Kate who are still wanting to do the show because now they have a taste of living high on the hog and won't give it all up for the sake of their marriage and kids. They definitely had a price and were bought, in my opinion.
Boring, Boring, Boring, Boring but alive

awards
Our 5th grade teachers have a big awards day and make it a huge deal. Each child is rewarded for what they have exceeded in that year, from most improved student to straight A student. Sometimes I think they stretch just a bit, but these teachers cry when the give the most improved student to the little girl who got kicked out last year for truancy issues . . . and she made it 100 days in a row this year!!! Some of it can be stretching, but sometimes this is ALL THESE KIDS GET!!!!!
Am I am basing on who won which awards?
and not on the amount of money they have in their pockets. Everyone has different tastes- just because you think that Kelly and Carrie have won multiple awards, well Fantasia is going to be starring on Broadway in the Color of Purple. Not too bad for a winner, I would say. Clay also not the #1 but look at how he sells out those concerts. I could care less how many awards a person has, does not mean the runner-ups not good also in years past. Even though from the south I really am not into country, never have been and could care less about the punk style. It is all in the eyes of the beholder, really.
Elementary school awards...
Is it just me or do the elementary schools go a tad overboard with the award giving? I just attended the awards "ceremony" at my son's school (2nd grade) and they gave out awards in about 15 different categories...ranging from perfect attendance to no tardies, to mastering addition/subtraction facts! And over half the grade got the "citizenship" award...now in my day, only 1 student from each grade got that award. Kinda makes an award that is truly earned seem insignificant. I don't know, maybe it's just me...
At awards shows, she's ALWAYS paired up with somebody better, too...sm
Duet with Tina...duet with Prince....trio with JHud and the other Dreamgirl...
How funny! If anyone watched the Big ག awards on VH1 tonight.....
the host just said the exact same thing about Britney. I guess it's true. LOL!
My current cat doesn't watch much TV, but my last one liked to watch hockey. sm
He would sit in front of the TV and swat at the puck now and then. The only time my current 4-year-old cat watches TV is if the TiVo restarts for some reason and that little animated video comes on with the dancing TV and the loud music. He's fascinated by that and will come running to sit and watch it.
First, take it slow. The guy needs to doing SM
something with your head, as well as your heart.
He should treat you well and be open and honest. Good luck.
OH! Sorry for being slow with that! nm
LOL
Slow cooker
It has been my experience in the past that slow cookers do not cook a turkey well. It you buy a 12 pound bird, it will only take 2-2½ hours in the oven. You may also cook it over night at 200º for 6-8 hours, then brown it off at 375º. Simple recipe. Clean bird and dry. Salt cavity of bird. Place a mixture of butter, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper under the skin of the turkey. Lightly coat outside of bird with olive oil or remaining butter mixture. Cover with foil and cook overnight or bake at 375º for 1½ hours, then remove foil and continue cooking until done. Internal temp should reach 150º.
Just take it slow and easy
Don't rush into anything, and don't let him pressure you into moving faster than you are comfortable with. After all, if you do get together, hopefully you will have a lot of happy years ahead of you. There's no need to rush things in the beginning.
I have been married for a long time to the same man (never divorced) but if we had taken more time in the beginning, we probably never would have gotten married. Outside circumstances kind of put us in a "do or die" position.
We had a lot of unhappy years, especially in the beginning. So the one thing I always advise anyone who is contemplating marriage and/or a serious relationship is take your time.
And good luck!
slow starter
Any hints on getting going when you start your shift? It takes me a good 30 minutes just to begin every day, no matter how I psych myself up to "get at it". Have been coming to computer a half hour earlier to get set, read emails and fiddle around so when I clock in I'm ready to go, but I still will just sit here staring at nothing, fiddling around, etc., and take forever to get going. Do you all have special routines that get you going? One person I know has a special hat he puts on when he goes into his home office. I have not tried that yet. Thanx
Slow computer
All of a sudden my computer is running as slow as mollasses. I used to know what to do but forgot. Even when I'm typing it halts and takes about 30-40 seconds to continue. Please help!

Not missing anything. Will stay right here.
If you like fights, you can always check out the MQ board. Lots of arguments there.
Why is this site so slow lately?
I just wondered if anyone else is having a problem even getting into MT Stars. When I can get it, it is so slow.
boring job. this is such a boring job.
having trouble staying focused lately. maybe the holidays being on my mind or something. just cant stay focused...anyone have trouble with the bordom?
Yes, boring!!
Yes, fitness and health should be promoted. Why not get off our duffs and go out and be physically active ourselves? And they are way, way overpaid - it is disgusting!
Although not as boring as the

I was boring.
I studied, was very active in church youth group, was in flag corp, babysat a couple times a week, traveled to Central America during 2 summers. I was a good kid. My parents were lucky!
Tax refund slow in coming. sm
I e-filed a couple weeks ago with TurboTax and the "where's my refund" tool on the website says there is a delay in processing my refund. I have no idea what the delay could be, but I am running out of funds quickly since my son's father has decided to start stiffing us on child support. Is anyone else experiencing this delay? Has never happened to me before. Quite frustrating and very depressing since it's class ring time and the list goes on and on. TIA.
okay, now I get it........slow on the ball I guess

Doing a slow burn here, going for the jugular
i was so involved, thought i had found some people i could trust and started an animal rescue group with. I paid the expenses to start with the understanding that i would be involved as far as being able to go to rescue animals and basically spent time interacting with them. Oh, believe you me before I did this I got this in writing with the person I was starting this with. Since January of this year when this was first started I basically have rescued about 10 cats and that was about 3 weeks ago. I went along with my coperson but she was always the one picking the animals out. I was happy to go but seems like that has suddenly dried up now since she is up and apparently making some money. I made it clear I did not want any money they might make from the sell of the animals, I was only happy to get them out of the places where they would be put down. Well, so much for MS Nice Lady. I have called her twice over the past 3 days, sent her an email asking her to call, called another lady she heavily works with in this rescuing and no answer at all. I have smoke coming out my ears. Just imagine, about 3 months ago this same person asked me to cosign on a vehicle with a person I had met 1 time for them to transport animals up north!! Well, duh, do I look that looney to you. Not only that, but then 2 months ago this same person came to me telling me she had her electricity turned out, forgot to pay her bill and wanted to borrow $500.00. Even though I am what you call a senior citizen (and when I take her behind to court, that might also work against her) I told her no way was 1 month bill that much, had to be more than 1 month and maybe she should ask her mother and/or father for that. No way Jose was I giving any money, for the animals yes, for someone who conviently forgets a bill, nah. Has anyone on here ever put a lien against someone else. This person does not have a job but has a home. I do not know if the home is in her name but I have just printed off several sheets from Craig's List where they are offering the animals for $125-$200 so she should have some money by now. She is incorporated now but when we signed the agreement she was not, just us starting out. I would think with her being incorporated and selling the animals she should also have books to show her income and such. I am going for her jugular and no more Ms Nice Nice. I am ticked. Thank goodness I have saved any and all receipts I have pertaining to all the animal care, food, etc. etc. that I have paid out.

Boring and overpayed.

Sports are not boring.
They are meant to promote competition and fitness. I wonder though if we had a disaster that would require "fit" people to help bring others to safety, would we be able to call on the athletes? I wonder if there weren't enough soldiers or police/firemen, etc., could we count on some athletes? A lot of these organizations also help charity. I know this is kind of off the subject, but I love sports, so maybe that's why I feel the way I do. JMO. Thanks for asking. 
What a boring Monday!!! (sm)
My line count is low today even though I am working my butt off to try to bring it up. I come over here for a break and it looks like no one has posted anything new for hours. Doesn't anyone have anything exciting to say (I don't!!! was hoping you did!) LOL
Beautiful but boring
It is really beautiful, but after 10+ years living here raising the kids, I am beginning to crave a little craziness! Tourist season can be pretty awful, but all those tourist $$$ keep my taxes pretty low.
It is truly a land of haves and have nots. In my town, there is one house for sale for $23 million, but you can still get a real fixer-upper for under $150K. Still not cheap, but like they say, location, location, location.
predictable and boring.

We definitely need a car. Long and probably boring.
Our ྙ Buick has been very good to us, but the transmission is going. We've been adding something (don't know the name) every 6 months over the past year, but we don't think it will hold out much longer. Plus, the last ice storm really did a number on our windshield. We had a "stone crack" that was there since the day we bought the car, but the storm put a crack across the whole length of the windshield and back again. We are driving the car that way, but need a new one.
The problem is we can't afford anything over $2000 and most of the cars we have looked at are $4000 and up. Now, hubby tells me if I close out my IRA and pay for the car, he will guarantee to pay me back next year if he gets back to work. The thing I don't like is the word IF. I have been practically sole support now because he hasn't worked much this year (not his fault) and, with the fall in the stock markets, I lost mucho dollars from my IRA, as he did. He still has double what I have left, but he wants me to close out my IRA.
We need a car so he can get to work (over 50 miles one way) once he gets back to work if he decides not to retire, but I'm tired of paying all the bills plus our health insurance (which he promised to pay half and hasn't been able to do - to the tune of $4000 owed) now having to worry about getting another car. Am I wrong to feel this way? I'm starting to feel like he just doesn't want me to have any control or have any savings, that it is a threat to him if I have any money.He's my high school sweetheart from 1965, so it's not like we're yung'uns. He wasn't this way until his surgery 2 years ago. I know I'll never be able to recoup my losses from my IRA and sometimes think I should just do what he says, but I feel it's my $$ that I worked hard to get, although it will never see me through my retirement.
He just paid the IRS and state taxes before the end of the year before they tacked on any more penalties and interest, and made ME feel guilty because I didn't have enough money deducted from MY wages to cover it (we are still trying to recover from his open heart surgery). I am claiming single and really starting to hurt money-wise. It's just too much for me to handle. I'm paying all the cc's that we had to use to survive to pay medical bills and doctors after his surgery.
What would you do in this case? I use the car maybe twice a week when it's here to go for groceries if he doesn't get around to going for them. Should I take him at his word? Should I close out my IRA and get a decent car (which would probably last us the rest of our life)?
I just need another person's opinion before I make my final decision. Thanks.

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 thought it was boring last night . . .
The girl with the nasty photos is "vote for the worse" this year.
Who finds sports boring?
*raising my hand*
Not boring, but professional athletes..sm
are definitely overpaid!
If this is so boring - why bother? they need posters over there can't you tell
by this thread?
I guess we are one of those boring families, too...sm
We don't fight during the holidays, but then we really don't talk much either. My mom has Alzheimer and my brother just doesn't say much. I try to carry on a conversation, but it is hard to when you are met with silence.
I find Danny boring.
Can't believe he hasn't been booted yet. I'm a hardcore Adam fan and would like to see him win, although win or lose he will be a huge star. Anyway,thank God for a world where we don't all have the same tastes. You can have your Gokey, and I'll take my Lambert, LOL!
Slow Roasted Cuban Pork recipe
Hi,
Quite a few years back, I had a recipe I can no longer find at home or on the internet, which is where I believe I first found it.
It's for Cuban slow roasted pork with mojo sauce. The recipe's instructions called for putting the roast in the oven on very low heat for at least 24 hours. (I've found a similar one on Epicurious, but would prefer to re-find the one I originally used).
Sound familiar? If so, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
Slow. Laid back or high maintenance?

It was kind of boring, I agree -PS (I like Phyllis)

Well, Desperate Housewives was just a boring recap
of last season, anyway. But Blazing Saddles? I guess he is not as willing to compromise? lol Men! Lord help us all! They're just simple boring creatures, ain't they?
Sounds kind of whitewashed & boring.
