thing about TV is that there is an off button. :)
Personally, I don't care for half of what the news reports, or at least attempts to report. There are much better sources for real information out there and not this show they put on.
I am one who has had an interest in watching what has been said through this whole ordeal, so I watch it.

Fascinating!
But boy does that bring back bad memories of labor pains and giving birth - OUCH!
Fascinating! I personally have not seen
anything (but wish I had) but I had recently been reading how various astronauts and pilots have reported seeing "things" in space. It's all been kept very hush hush by NASA. Hmmmmm . . .
That's so fascinating to me. I love reading about ND experiences.

Heard the most fascinating story today at lunch. gottah share. sm
My best friend just returned from a trip back home by herself. There, she met up with her high school sweetheart - 20 years later. His mom and her mom are best friends and they were both there for a funeral. She cried her eyes out at lunch today.
She learned while on her trip back home that the love of her life was divorced, has 3 kids - his wife left him for another man. My friend is married with 2 children.
To make a long story short, my friend is a true lady. She told him all about her life here and he just listened. They were near water (a gorgeous beach) on the docks and it was just the 2 of them and he began saying things to her that made her so sad. He went on and on about how he never stopped loving her and would look at her and say, "you are just as gorgeous as you were back in high school." She said she would just laugh and tell him he was crazy. She said she saw him on and off during the trip because she "had" to. They have families that are very close. Every time he would see her he would give her a big hug and call her gorgeous. She said the night before she left they were on his mother's porch swinging, eating ice cream and he cried like a baby. She cried. Nothing inappropriate happened between them. She said it was a connection none like she had ever, ever experienced before. She said that he made her promise that if anything were to ever happen between she and her husband that she would come back and be with him. He promised that he would wait for her, even if she were 80 years old. My friend cried and cried. He cried and cried.
I cried and cried. I know this lady's husband. The have a good relationship. But she and I both know that we did not marry our soul mates. I don't even know where mine is (we broke up many moons ago), but I know he was the one for me. There was no infedelity to this story at all. I believe her. They lost contact when she went away to college, moved on, and that was it. She would talk about him periodically with me, but nothing real serious.
I don't know how many women (I sure haven't) met up with old flames or lost soul mates and have the experience she has. She is a Christian and says that if she didn't love Jesus, something would have happened between them. She was able to use her love of God to witness to this man (who isn't a Christian). She said that she wouldn't be able to live with herself if something happened between them and that his soul was more important to her than her selfish desires.
I commended her for that. I don't know how many women in her position would have been as strong. She cried so hard when she was telling me this story. Lunch lasted 4 hours!! I'm glad I was off today. Anyway, it just has me thinking about my ilfe, too, as a married mom and wife. My husband is the most unemotional, unaffectionate, doesn't-believe-in-soul mates-kind-of-guy. I can't talk with him about these kinds of things. I just wish he were mine OR I was with mine.......
I'm sorry and I mean no offense...
but I just don't get what the fascination is with this whole story. Why does anyone other than the family care where this woman is buried or who is or isn't at the church? The AP boycotted reporting anything to do with Paris Hilton for a week. I think Anna Nicole Smith should be next.
No offense taken
If you meant me, no problem, and no offense taken. I understand your point. I went to parochial school and all the kids in my class including the Headmaster's kid including the other pastor's kids were the ones who smoked in the bathroom, picked on people, etc. I think they were rebelling against their parents to test boundaries. I just wanted to let you see another side of the story. When I was a member and not a Pastor's wife, I was fascinated about the lifestyle or what they were like when they were at home (pastor and family). It was just a curiosity. I never realized that I stared, and watched, but I did. People do this to us now, and I have to realize it is just plain curiosity. No we don't walk around with our hands held in prayer every minute, and no we don't sing hymns every minute of the day or quote scripture. Actually we love to eat pizza and watch Law and Order when the children are with their grandma. And when the children are home they watch cartoon network and play outside like anyone else. Not offended at all in the least. Just wondering as a normal parent how in the world to raise perfect kids and I think I have no clue about that. I am just doing the best I can to raise them with a conscience. :)
No offense, but this is a no-brainer
GET OUT NOW, ASAP, for your sake and your kids. Don't think about why because you already have the answers. Just do it. It's wrong, it's over, period. May the light stay with you.
No offense to you intended, but
that is pretty much a no brainer. Of course they were degrading to her; she was degrading herself, so what to expect? I'm not trying to be down on people who do this for a living. I know there is great money to be made, but at the cost of self respect (usually, not always) and no respect from the clientele (almost always, whether or not the stripper is aware of this). Some people thrive on the attention (my cousin-in-law, for example, who brags about every male in the neighborhood wanting to 'do' her, etc. -- used to be a stripper and loved every minute of it; wishes she could still do it) Personally, I have had many a time where I was made to feel dirty by men, and I was not stripping for them or anything else. Leering just makes me uneasy, to say the least. Also, of the few strippers personally known to me, I always hear the same thing -- had to be drunk to do the job (again, not always the case, but it is what I have been told by several of them). Now, I have always said, if the men are s t u p i d enough, have at it and glad for those who make the money off of that, but I could never go there.
no offense to anying - I said *males*....sm
because we had an awful experience for a couple of years with a female orthodontist.......so no offense meant to anyone 
oh lawdy and now a typo - no offense to ANYONE...
geesh, where's my fingers today ? *LOL*
No offense but if that's what thin people have to eat...
I'd rather be fat. LOL
No offense, but she needs a more explicit book. With pictures, for SM
her and her husband to try, eh, different things. We are not talking specifically romance here, but nitty. gritty, spark flying stuff.
I disagree with this poster. No offense, but this industry is STILL looking for good MTs to sm
pump out the workload as so many are either: A. Getting out of the business (by the hundreds). B. Retiring. C. Moving into editing, etc.
I've been doing this from home for about 10 years now.
Don't discourage someone from getting into this field. She wants to be with her family and make an income. MTing can help her do that!
And if down the road this profession is null and void, then she has something to fall back on. At least she HAS something to fall back on, unlike a lot of us here.
To the original poster, I wouldn't leave my kiddies for anything in the world. There is no care like your care. Do whatever you can to find work at home. Email me if you are looking for a work-from-home opportunity.
For most part, women dont go ballistic 1st offense.
