But then again, I do look at the pictures in the morning of their pretty dresses :)

You definitely need to do some research on her political views! nm

LOL...we watch those shows
at our house. I am usually the one who wants to see them (female).
What TV shows do you watch?
With all the renewals and cancellations going on for the networks, what are the shows you regularly watch?
For me:
Lost
The Office
Kath & Kim
Big Bang Theory
Law & Order (& SVU)
House
The Simpsons
We got rid of cable so we rely on Hulu for anything else.
maybe i watch too many court shows, but...
couldn't you locate him through his police/firefighters' union and take him to small claims court. if it was truly a loan and not a gift, you have a case and if it is under a certain amount of money depending on your state, you do not need a lawyer. do not give up; he could lose his job over fraud!
I love the judge shows, watch them a lot
But I think the new judge who has taken over on Divorce Court, Lynn Toler, is doing an excellent job. When the other judge left I did not watch the new judge at first but she makes a lot of good common sense. I feel she is very wise beyond her years and respect her judgements.
Your current favorite shows to watch?
My #1 is biggest loser! I absolutely LOVE this show (watchin it now). it always makes me tear up so much! I love the inspiration of these people. oh i love it so much!!! At the end of the show I always feel like I know them and I'm so proud of them. haha
My other ones are My Sunday shows: Extreme Makeover Home Edition, Desperate Housewives and Brothers&Sisters
Monday The Bachelor
Tuesday Biggest Loser and Law&Order SVU
that's about it for the week!!
I can definitely see some celebrities
wearing these. If I had a great body, there's probably a few I would wear myself. Fat chance that'll ever happen. LOL.
Celebrities
I think it is safe to say none of us would trade places with these people. They probably had more problems than the rest of us.
I had an account on the east coast, an ivy league hospital, and had celebrity names cross my path. I wondered "could it be?" but in the end it didn't matter. You made sure everything was done correctly because you never know when it could end up in a tabloid!!
Isn't it funny how the so called celebrities...
tout the doom and gloom of global warming, tell us not to drive our SUVs, want us to walk or bike everywhere, save gas, etc., yet travel around by private jet, go to premieres in limos, and have an entourage of people who also need vehicles? Talk about hypocrisy!
views
it could just be your csection scarring is obscuring a clear view. Sometimes, things will just show up better from another angle. Don't panic until someone pushes the panic button. good luck to you.
So many posts against my views
but I posted about where I lived, in an association, and many came back against my saying it was so nice here, quiet, no loud music, no bullies to threaten your kids but yet people seemed to think I was being I guess "uppity." I only had 1 problem since 2004 and that was the pit sending flames into the trees next door, unattended, with their wooden area adjoining mine. I stand by what I said but if you are moving, got the perfect place for you. I am so happy here, not like others think an association is. The people here are really nice, not bothersome and we take pride in how we live. Oh, here goes the flaming!!!
My views reenforced....
I was posting below about the fact about females being more aggressive and such. Last night I was watching some news and Faith Hil and her husband Tim McGraw on a tour together. Tim McGraw not only had a woman to snatch a ring from his finger, he asks for it back and then calls security and then a woman in the audience grabs Tim in his crotch and you can hear Faith telling the woman not to be grabbing her husband's balls! This is all over the news this weekend and need I say more???
Ok I have a problem with some of your views...sm
And I will tell you why....
It may very well irk you to no end to hear that someone is "single" with children as a reason why they are more entitled. Okay I have never been on food stamps before and I have never been a single parent before, but there are single mothers who were married and had a baby and the daddy just up and leaves or they divorce for some reason or other and he doesn't pay child support. I lot of single mothers did not just set out to go have a chld with no husband. Sometimes mistakes happen and people are not careful. If one can only get a job at McDonalds making minimum wage how can they possibly buy food and pay everything else on that pay? If you have 2 parents it seems to make more sense to me that maybe 2 can make more money and may not need food stamps thus the reasoning why being a single parent might entitle them to food stamps. Now as for the lady who is abusing the system that lives with her boyfriend with a good job that is different. She is abusing the system and does not deserve them. My point is with single mothers they don't always not plan. There are many circumstances that can make a person become a single parent beyond their control.
Thank you also for your views and insights nm

Interracial dating views
Do you think most people still have a bad opinion of interracial dating and should that matter anyway?
What would your teacher sisters say to your views?

Don't know your views on stem cells
http://www.joplinglobe.com/homepage/local_story_245195943.html?keyword=leadpicturestory
I'm another one; I loved OP's explanation of her views sm
You expressed very succinctly what I feel. The world is my church and I don't need "group think" telling me how to live from some old book that was a mythological explanation for natural forces that ancient humans could not understand.
Anyway, you are not alone!
If you can't reconcile your views on $, spending sm
and happiness (i.e, that both of you deserve to be heard and to be happy), you are rapidly heading for divorce court. Go read some Suze Orman financial advice for women, for a start, and then get some counseling. He is obviously irresponsible with money and you are not. How old are you two, out of curiosity?
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.
they have some system now that they can sign up for to track who views sm
their myspace. not sure how it works because i didn't sign up for it, but i see it posted all the time. i view my daughter's friends sites all the time. noone has said anything to me yet about it, but i do communicate with a lot of them on there as they are friends and any friends of my children are friends with me as well. they know i wouldn't going ratting off on them unless it was something majorly in the wrong.
Although I don't know what's worse, the political banter or having to
;
I don't want to get all political, but Michelle Obama has been sm
quoted as saying, "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country."
This statement made me wince. I can't help but think of all of the GREAT wives of American Presidents who would never say such things about this great country we call home. For the first time in her adult life? What's so bad about this GREAT country that she isn't proud of?
I don't know. Is it just me or do others agree that we should have a First Lady in the White House who will stand behind her country through thick and thin? What's going to happen if in a year or two something else happens and she is no longer proud of this country? What kind of First Lady will she be then?
I think you should be president if you love America, born and raised in America, are Christian, and have solid convictions, and believe in the constitution.
Political correctness taken to the extreme.
The movie "Airplane" is on. Political correctness has gone way too far. The scene is the one where the pilot asked the little boy, Do you like gladiator movies? After that line the rest of the scene has been deleted. I dont need movie censors to restrict a comedy in the name of PC.
Ahh, that's why I don't visit political board.

I disagree with you, but...this IS a political post.
How could it be anything but?
it was about her shoes - not a political topic
I would just ignore it. Started off about fashion. You can't control what people are going to write about a certain topic. Sometimes the two can blend together. Since we're not talking bout the O I would just ignore it and write another post about something else.
Please use politics board for political topics. NM
Goldbird
I think she is hoping to help save his political career so (sm)
she tries to appear supportive - for future money for herself probably. To keep him from going completely down the tubes so he can support his children. Won't work in this case I'm sure though. But it also could be that they feel sorry for the guy...I mean not only does he have to deal with his betrayed wife, he has to face the entire country and lose his career. He's probably near suicidal. I would probably have to feel sorry for my husband if he were in those circumstances, just a a basic human compassion.
Does this post not belong on the political board?
NM
TAKE TO POLITICAL BOARD. All you want to do is fuss about Obama
It makes no difference to any fair minded person if he got the dog at the shelter, off the street, had him given to him. It just does not matter in the scheme of life. Go back to the other board. They may appreciate you there. This is the gab board and we are only talking about a little black and white doggie. You are not contributing anything we wish to hear.
Volunteering. Church. Political parties.
xx
Political and candidate topics go on Politics board.
Thanks.
adminstrator...can we have a religious political radical board until the election?...sm
so as not to disturb the rest of the flotsam and jetsam of the gab board? So far everyone has been reasonable... Cat
Thought I saw a post like yours on the political board regarding grape research
America cannot take care of all the needy in the world, even if they gave the "grape research" money to them. Keep off your soapbox because you are yelling. I know several who use the welfare system. I give to no one on the streets. I don't care what kind of sign they are holding up, will work for ..... I rescue animals and help our 4 legged friends. That is about as charitable as I get.
Global warming - faction, fiction, political, mountain or mole hill
Trying to get a handle on whether people have bought into the global warming thing.
Do you believe it whole-heartedly 100% Gore-ly, or do you believe the scientist who have been studying global warming/cooling.
Also, do you believe a lot of it is politically-oriented.
shows
You've chosen great shows....Etta James?!!?.....I would give my right arm to see her live!....Bring tissues to Phantom if you've never seen it before. You're gonna have a lotta fun.
It shows an ape for everyone
NM
shows?
any particular great shows or things to see ? ? My daugther is getting married at Mandalay Bay - not sure about the spelling of that.. we'd like to stay there or somewhere close but don't want to stay at a real expensive place. . watching the budget - planning our own marriage/house, etc.
Well, if it shows up in my
chicken and broccoli, then I am going to ask for an accounting somewhere. I checked the site, see nothing there that we use.
This shows you just how much you do not know
I was married, previous husband (deceased) bought a vehicle. At the time he bought this vehicle we were separated. He died before the car was paid off (back together at the time of his death). I was not signed on the papers in any way, shape or form and did NOT have to pay for the vehicle. I told GMAC they could come and get it out of my yard, I did not want, did not drive, etc., etc. Your statement about being responsible for each others bills made during the marriage does not hold water. You do not have all the answers like you think you do.
TV Shows
I don't have much time to watch TV, but I do DVR a lot. The main shows I watch are Ghost Whisperer, Nip/Tuck (when it's on), Flashpoint, Americas Next Top Model, Hells Kitchen, Desperate Housewives, and of course American Idol. I also have to admit that I love reality shows and watch a lot of the reality shows on the E channel, VH1 and MTV shows.
Yes, shows are something we could do, living
where we do. It's not far to go, maybe 12 miles across town.
And thank you very much. One thing we don't want to do is get Sasha's nose out of joint, LOL.
What about going on one of the judge shows?
I heard they pay the plantiff on the spot :)
shows who rates around here
So, the almighty humans get the seatbelts and all we get is a stinkin' leash?
I like the judge shows too, --sm
'specially Judge Judy. I like it when she starts telling people they are i*d*i*o*t*s, and the like. I really don't know why some of those people would even WANT to go on there and be subjected to her wrath! Talk about an anger personality! wheee.
Broadway shows
Hubby and I and 2 kids are going to New York and are going to see a couple of B'way shows. Daughter and I are going to a matinee of Legally Blond and the whole family will see the evening performance of Lion King. What is the appropriate attire. Does hubby need to wear a tie and jacket. I am clueless! Thanks for any info!
I've only seen a few shows (sm)
I've caught it a few times channel surfing, but I was mesmerized by that kid. He definitely has something. Unfortunately I work too much to get 'hooked' on anything LOL.
But yeah, his kids seem really well adjusted and grounded. My 20yo daughter just can't get over the fact that they have 2 kids and been living together forever and not married.
Nah, just a big fan of the nature shows.
I forgot manatees. I shoulda said mermaids. :o>
I also got married there- as far as shows
I loved Jubilee at Harrah's(this is topless at later show) and have seen Barry Manilow, George Wallace lately along with George Carlin- the Cirque shows play at 4 places, the Venetian, Bellagio, Treasure Island and the Mirage, I believe. A lot of the shows close around Christmas and they also have blackout nights during the week. I would check on line to see who is playing the week you will be there. Jubilee is there all the time whereas other entertainers in and out. I thought the Bay was sorta expensive place to stay?
Have you ever seen it? All of those shows are just disgusting.
It's very vile. Which is why I only watch t.v. 0.00001% of my time. There isn't anything good on t.v. anymore - or good for you. I have 3 young children and the only safe channel it seems is the food network!
