Taylor Hicks did absolutely nothing for me.
Nice personality and all but his voice isn't anything spectactular in my opinion. I'd never buy one of his records. Makes me wonder about the AI thing, is it popularity over talent? I think that's how a lot of votes are coming in.
Gokey was merely a Taylor Hicks Version 2.0. Won't go far at all. nm

Basing on talent, I think Taylor Hicks has a phenomenal voice.

i think iit was all made in fun, and besides if Simon did not like him
he would not be hosting the show.
Don't worry, David A will will, Simon made sure of that.
I was completely disgusted last night, watching them trying to sway the votes. Every single online poll for WEEKS has had David Cook far ahead of the others, so they have to play the BS card last night to make it look like David A. is better so when they fake the votes and he wins, it doesn't look rigged.
I do like David A. but Cook is far more talented and has more range/versitility and appeals to a larger audience. I know he will do well either way, better than David A. in my opinion - but I would love for him to get the recognition of actually winning.
My DH made an 11th hour decision for a vasectomy.
I was scheduled for a tubal, had all of my preop workup done, met with the anesthesiologist, etc. At 10:30 p.m. the night before my surgery, my husband told me that he'd rather have a vasectomy done than have me go through the surgery. So quite literally, at 11:00 p.m. I called my GYN to cancel the surgery. Since I was the first surgery of the next day, he laughed and thanked us for letting him sleep in a little longer. It's been more than 10 years, and at every checkup, the GYN and I still laugh about that.
My hubby has had no problems. He had the procedure done in the office, and we actually went to a function that evening and danced a few slow dances together. When any of his friends whine about how they wouldn't have a vasectomy done, my hubby berates them and calls them big babies.
Racist remark from tax person
This person has done our taxes for about 4 years now- she knows lots of added expenses we can take as husband drives a truck as does her husband and they work for the same company. Going to get some pizza yesterday saw the tax lady and stopped to talk a minute. My husband is very shy, keeps to himself a lot and even his family has told me the same, just not forthcoming- I am exact opposite. When we fill out taxes I am always the one speaking up. We have a mixed marriage and yesterday the person asked me how much schooling he had?? I said I don’t know- believe it or not he never wants to be forthcoming about much about him, always saying things like lets talk about something else. Tax lady then asked me if he were "slow" as she had a "sorta retarded grandchild" that lived with her for awhile. This man is no where close to retarded or slow- he is a terrific chef, can build anything he wants, repairs all items around the home, self-taught guitarist, keeps abreast of all news- can discuss anything. She said some blacks not offered the same opportunities to go and finish school like whites. As we were talking her phone at the office rang and I told her I would see her later and left. What I want to know, how should I approach her with her terrible misunderstanding of a guy who hung the moon for me? I really hate to think because of his being naïve, shy, not in your face type of person that he is "slow." Your comments.
Btw, I never did see a racist remark in your post.

Saw Taylor just the other day
He has put out a new CD but seems to just sorta lag behind. I do not like the thought of a rocker chick as I do not care for the hard look of Alison (Megan either for that matter, aint up with the tats).
Taylor
He was dropped from his record company and released his new CD on his own, I think. He was on Broadway in Grease and now he's in the touring company. He was on one of the talk shows recently.
I noticedt his also, Chris' face just 'dropped' after Siomon's remark! Really cruel...

Taylor is great if he sings the right stuff
When you win AI, you are set up with a record contract that makes pretty cheesy songs. If Taylor could do his own bluesy thing, it would be great, instead of the pop stuff.
What did Simon say?
I only saw the end of the show last night and missed the rest...what did he say???
Simon
 He is my sweet lhasa-poo!
My dog, Simon,
Lays across my foot, which cramps my style sometimes with my foot pedal, but it sure is nice in cold weather!
Simon
Oh I like Simon for the most part, but he can be a jerk at times. I don't think they should sugarcoat, but he could try not ripping out someone's heart when giving criticism (like that one girl that he told "if it's any condolence you wouldn't have won anyways") I mean that really wasn't necessary! But that's part of the shows ratings!
I can't remember the kids name either, but I thought he was good, and I think he could be marketable if they dressed him up a bit.
Still wish Jamal had made it. And I don't know if I'll ever get over Tatiana's looniness. I still wish Rose had made it, I really liked her, she was original!
I saw Simon lean over and say something
to Paula. It can't have been good. And Ryan came right out and asked what she'd spent her money on, and she says SHOES! Um, we hadn't noticed the shoes, gal. Not with those balloons popping out of that ugly dress that didn't fit. Money never did buy taste. The voice is still pretty though.
I think even Simon is getting worried
He said if Sanjaya wins he will quit. He must be getting a lot of votes. Even Howard Stern is pushing people to vote for the kid.
That seems to be what Simon thinks
and I agree they will probably do well. I think the guy in the red/orange suit - lol - will be going home. He was sort of terrible. David is it? The 17 year old. Just how much cuteness can one have? LOVE HIM! But I am just drooling over the guy that sang c'mon baby light my fire and oh yes I definitely would! Is he hot or what? lol. I can't wait to see the girls tonight. I just love this show.
To me, there IS no show without Simon. The other
judges are predictable fluff, but he actually voices a real opinion without holding back, even if I occasionally disagree with him. I think keeping Kara and/or letting Simon leave would seriously screw up the show & make them lose a lot of viewers!
I agree probably to annoy Simon
but it is just not fair to the other contestants who should not be voted off.
I watch the show for the talent, not the fun and games but that is what gets the ratings.
Probably will stop watching if this nonsense continues.
Ryan and Simon are FRIENDS
He wasn't being nasty or rude IMO. In fact, Ryan set him up for that "Come out" comment and he knew it. Might have even been planned ahead of time.
Not sure why everyone else is upset about the comments if Ryan isn't. JMO
I believe Simon AND Randy were in shock too!
Will answer about who cares about Simon
She stated when booted off, "I love you Simon but I really don’t care." She was asked by Ryan what did she say and it was repeated. Well, no one needs to care about Simon unless they want to continue to be on the show, get exposure for their work, land a multimillion dollar contract. Other than that I would say let her go with the wind. I thought she was a real twit. She was really the worst so I can understand her being targeted as votefortheworst, sounds like they picked the right one!
bye bye Chris. Simon was cruel
when he said that Danny beat Chris in the duet. That just did Chris in. He was marked as a defeated man for the rest of the show. Or maybe it was just me.
My family made home-made mozzarella,
and it was very good. I was pretty small at the time, so I don't remember the exact process, just that it was done pretty quickly, and a lot of milk was used.
I don't know if you'll save a lot of money making your own cheese. The cost of milk is very high, too, and you need a lot of milk to make cheese.
The funny (sad?) thing about Simon's comment (sm)
is that Sanjaya thought he was sincerely complimenting him. He didn't seem to understand that Simon was hoping if perhaps he made a positive comment instead of a negative one that Sanjaya might actually get the boot this week. Let's hope it works!
I agree, I'm not really even watching...but what did Simon say to Melinda?
Just curious about that.
Actucally Ryan and Simon's remarks to each other
are just for show. They are actucally very good friends in real life. Not that I necessarily think it is funny, but it is sometimes fun to see someone go after Simon and know they won't be judged (as in the singers).
Actually Simon has the nose for real talent
and he is only telling the truth whereas Paula, Kara and sometimes even Randy try to sugarcoat. I totally am fully behind Simon. Danny is good but who was the second guy who sang, slow song and had not seen him before, really good. As far as replacing the girl thrown off, they did not announce a replacement of any kind. I was surprised that Danny's friend did not make it. He is really good, also. I like Danny, think he will go far because not only good singer but also very, very likeable. I was also surprised that lots seemed really nervous last night and I think it showed big time. I think the guys have the girls beat all over the place this time. I think Tatiana is good but might have gotten off on a bad footing with the audience because of acting so looney.
Exactly, I think Kara should go and Randy, Paula and Simon should stay
like it was before.
Chris will go today!

For an hour after OP, it was no where.

If you think that one little hour or less of planning
These teachers don't get anything done on their planning period, because they're too busy calling parents who won't respond, trying to actually FIND a parent, talking to a student who is obviously having problems at home which is affecting their performance at school. They don't get paid to be a mentor, surrogate mom, social worker, assistance program, etc., but most good teachers do this becaue they genuinely care for their kids. That "planning period" is a joke!
8 Hour Sleep - sorry
should say 8
I can make between 20-26 an hour . nm

I was out before 8:30 and spent about an hour
shopping- I do not like to shop at all and mostly this morning bought things for me, like some flannel PJs and some sweaters at the outlet store. The crowd not bad at all- only 1 ahead of me in the checkout. I shop over the net quite a bit but had received flyer and things I wanted I got.
AI was just an hour long
It may have run over by a couple of minutes or so.
$28 an hour, where do we all sign up? NM
.
yep for up to an hour they can still bite you- sm
there was a story on TV a few months back about some guy in the middle of no where, staying at a remote cabin for a week (was getting picked up at pre-arranged date a week after his drop off there), on day 3 or 4 killed a snake by the house by cutting off its head, and then for some foolish reason decided to pick up the head which is when he got bit. By some miracle he did not die, came darn close though, if his ride hadn't come he would have died though.
p.s. it should be a 12-hour fasting
blood test, and then done with the glucola stuff you drink...and checked more than one time. Also, things such as steroids can raise your BS readings. I would just about put money on the fact you are probably seeing a PA...but either way, read up on these things, webmd.com or American Diabetes Association... get informed. Everyone needs to be more proactive on their health.
We have a 48 hour turn on our Paps

You are kidding about paying $2 more an hour??
I find most Americans, regardless of their race, creed, religion, etc., etc. wanting to work. I have never had to worry if I hire the Mexicans here in town to work, show them what and your job is done. I have a lady who cleans (black) and I usually have to make a list and even then she wants to sit down most of the time. Have used all but found get my work done with south of the border folks.
20 miles is not far, 1/2 hour drive
if you can stay in his town, for now, and if it's better for the kids, and your first grader is comfortable with people working with him, and it's cheaper, maybe you can go visit your family regularly. A half hour is not far; people drive farther than that one way to work day.
also, it sounds like you agree there was nothing ever in common, it's okay, at least he is caring, and you can remain friends, and he is a good father. It's okay; you'll probably be happier in your own place.
It's a tradition with us! Only have a 1/2-hour ride. nm

I am in Lancaster about an hour from you. I just was down to the new Harrahs you have down there to
watch the sulky races. I have only seen them once in my life and it was pretty nice watching that. I am not much for slots but I like to watch the horses and I bet a whole $2 on them. Not much but more fun to watch when you have a favorite picked out. I never win anything but it is an inexpensive way to spend the afternoon every now and then. I have only been there once.
nothing-it was an hour of past scenes of
like eric and jessica.......borrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggggg. I watched the feeds last night on Showtime 2 and across the screen it said that earlier in the evening, the Jury house sat with Daniele and ED and asked all kinds of questions and then went into deliberation until tomorrow night....but from the feeds, you wouldn't have known that this occurred - Daniele/ED must have been instructed to not discuss that on the feeds...and they did discuss some of the things that they were not to discuss over the summer last night on the feeds.
New Smyrna is nice but it's an hour or so away
We have friends who live in Orlando and New Smyrna is their preferred beach. It's a bit of a drive; we used to drive up and get a room for the night so we could spend the whole day and not have to drive back.
Gain an hour of work.. for me and DH
Both work nights :)
Nope. That's more than an hour's work
if you ask me. And the services won't touch dishes. The one I had broke more stuff than they cleaned properly, so good luck.
