I saw this on the news this morning.
Wasn't this at Marshall. My niece is a freshman there. I am in Bluefield, VA. We are all praying for her.
I saw it on the news this morning
at around 8:30 EST. What a shocking tragedy for the family and team at this time that they expected to be the most exciting of their lives, probably.
That and the story on John Edwards. He sure is an odd one.
What the news this morning said -
That as of this year for sure one of the girls was in another competition and was listed as 14 and now she is 16 because that is what her passport says...I heard there are 3 in question who are said to be 14. I can *say* I am 19 and get a passport from somewhere to say as much, but does it mean I am not really 44?? 
Came out in news this morning that the
divorce papers say they have been separated for 2 years.
It was on the local news this morning.
There is this contractor in Cleveland, OH (I think) that was doing some remodeling work on this woman's house. He tore down a bathroom wall and the wall was stuffed with $182,000.00 of old money. The money is worth a lot more now.
Ok, here's the kicker. The contractor said he could have kept the money and not say anything to the homeowner, but he would have felt guilty. So, instead, he's suing her for the money siting a "finder's keeper's" law. The woman offered him 10% of either the money or the value of the money and he turned it down.
Me thinks he's kinda greedy. I say that this money was in the wall of a house that someone else owned and that it belongs to the homeowner.
Oh and he also hammered out some more walls, without the homeowner's permission, looking for more money.
JERK!!
Mothers of HIV children and news I got this morning
My daughter is now 35. My daughter has had HIV since 1992. She is a grown woman and she makes her own decisions; however this morning as I was asking her about how to pack meds for a trip I am going on as I figured she knew being as she had gone last year on a vacation, she advised me that she has not taken her meds since the year she was married, 2001! To say I was shocked was an understatement. I know out of those years I had asked if she were seeing her doctor and some time in those years slipped by without the visits like I thought she should be having. However she tells me this morning she does not tell me everything, especially if she thinks I might fuss at her. She had stunned silence this morning when she told me and we could not talk om depth as she was at her job but she did tell me she would talk with me later about this if I wanted to. She tells me the medicine is really toxic and her numbers have been fine during this period of time. I am wondering, are there other mothers out there like me with a loved one who is not taking their medicine and how are they doing? I know she is grown and I do not tell her how to live her life nor do I tell her about she should take her medicine- that is a person's own right but I am concerned, of course.
Just to lighten things up - this morning's news - sm
SPAM (the canned meat) is back, factory working overtime, two shifts. Only Christmas and Thanksgiving off. Remember Monty Pythom and Spamalot? One of the workers said he was glad to be working but doesn't think he could eat it. Before we knew what was in it, used to have Spam and eggs. I guess it's not that healthy but history repeating itself? Gotta keep it on the light side. A little humor helps sometimes.
some people do not read the news; they need to know...
so you just keep working and posting about mundane things and ignore the sickness in this world, or we can all come together and take out the trash.
He's guilty as sin and I cannot read his obituary in the news

Awesome! Good service is good news.

Be selective about news. Read newspaper, listen to CNN. No

Good Monday Morning
Good morning all.
Haven't looked at our weather yet, so I don't know what we will have today.
I just cuoldn't sleep, so up I am and just put the coffee on. Come on over and have a fresh cup of coffee and I'll make us some breakfast.
Just turned T.V. on and so now I can watch it an hour longer. I'm going to have a problem with this time change.
I should be working on our income tax, and it's a little overwhelming even thinking about it.
Just a little laundry today and that's about it.
Have a great day all of you.
Good morning ya'll! I have a story to share and need your help!! sm
A good friend of mine, Kathryn Bryant, from Columbus, GA, entered a “wish” contest sponsored by Pantene. She has been chosen as a runner up and was flown to California for a personal interview. Her wish is to create a program for disabled children that helps them feel accepted. Whether she wins or not is up to us because it’s based on the people’s choice. Pantene is one of the sponsors of the People’s Choice Awards and has posted Kathryn’s and two other ladies wishes on the www.pcavote.com website. Please use this link to go to the home page to view her video and watch her "Wish." And then VOTE FOR HER,PLEASE!
You will see the Pantene banner ad at the top of the page. Click on “pick the winning wish” and you will see her there.
As a friend of Kathryn, I felt compelled to get the word out on this. If you could help in any way,I would greatly appreciate it. She needs our votes. The kids need our votes!
OOh I hope she wins!
A treadmill might be good idea. One-hour in morning and

That is really good news sm
It is really hard, and I am glad you found a solution that will work for you. Please, keep us updated and how she does in the new school.
Good news!!
 IT ISN'T BEDBUGS!!!
We had the exterminators over and they said they have extensive experience treating bedbugs, in fact they are fighting them at a local hotel right now along with a number of private homes.
They didn't see any evidence of bedbugs and they said the marks on my husband don't look like bedbug bites at all. They suggested that he see his doctor, which he is going to do.
Woohoo!! I am sorry my husband is suffering, but we are both GLAD it isn't bedbugs.
That IS good news! Now he can come in

Hopefully good news
I go to a senior citizens place and this morning found out they are starting ceramic classes the last of this month. First of all I am really pleased just to go but uppermost in my mind is the possibility I might be able to do my own gravy boat. I really love crafts, wish I had my mothers genes in that regard, but don’t so I need instructions and then follow along but still love doing things and might even get that boat I need. Lucky me!!
that really IS good news.....
Thanks very much for the info. I will definitely check into it as that is a huge factor in determining whether or not I actually do go back to school, (among other things, such as how much time will this take away from my family? I don't want it to take too much.)
There is good news.
(03-07) 13:37 PST SACRAMENTO -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger denounced a state appeals court ruling that severely restricts homeschooling and promised Friday to change the law if necessary to guarantee that parents are able to educate their children at home.
"Every California child deserves a quality education, and parents should have the right to decide what's best for their children," Schwarzenegger said in response to the ruling, which said children educated at home must be taught by a credentialed teacher.
"Parents should not be penalized for acting in the best interests of their children's education," Schwarzenegger said. "This outrageous ruling must be overturned by the courts, and if the courts don't protect parents' rights then, as elected officials, we will."
My good news?
I'm alive!
And on a totally trivial note - I finally figured out how to use a banana comb in my hair without it looking like a disaster.
Good News
My daughter just got straight A+. She's in 8th grade, but she's in all accellerated and honors classes (9th grade). Now, if we could just get her in shape at home. LOL.
Sara your babies are adorable.
My good news: (sm)
A Trader Joe's market is going to open up not far from where I live.
My best friend will be visiting SF over Memorial Day weekend.
The Ka-Boom Festival is coming this month. (Best fireworks show in the Bay Area). Los Lobos, one of my favorite bands, will be performing there live. Should be XLNT!
good news
Going to fiance's niece's wedding tomorrow (Derby Day) then in 2 weeks going to Vegas for daughter's wedding..
Good news
My son just called to tell me he won his high school singles as well as his doubles tennis match and the his high school won overall. To H with the Tux. Well, some of you will know what I am talking about.
this is good news
to me anyway. After working the last two months to get estimates and paperwork together, I got approved for a home improvement loan. New furnace with central air, new roof, new windows, new doors, new front stoop. Well, this is exciting to me anyway.
my good news
Going away over night with my husband to a casino and see Jay Leno with friends. First time we have been away without my daughters since we were married and that was 28 years ago.
My good news
My youngest son is graduating high school in less than a month with state and school honors and got offered a huge scholarship at one of our state schools, which he has proudly agreed to accept. He wants to pursue chemical engineering and work with alternative energy sources. This is our bright future, and I am so proud.
My good news...
My daughter, who graduates from high school in a month, got accepted to the college she wanted to go to this fall. She was thrilled!
Good news...
No debt but the mortgage, vacation next week for 3-1/2 weeks.
Well, that's not good news.
I love their microdermabrasion stuff that smells like oranges. Too bad. Not nice to hear. Thanks for the notice.
He is a monster. Good news all of this has been
nm
It is good news......but the only thing is
from what I have heard he is still getting paid (or already has been paid) for doing the book. I only hope that the families can collect what they won in the civil suits from what he is being paid.
That is such great news. Good for her....
 That is wonderful for you as well. You must be so proud. Best wishes to her new path in life! I love bragging on my kids, too, and I thank them each night when I tuck them in (12 and 7 years) for giving me reasons to brag, and they just smile! That never gets old, ya' know? Enjoy !
Good news! Glad all went well.

Glad you got some good news to
make you feel a little better.
Pleaes do post updates as you can. Hope the radiation isn't too rough.
I love good news and this is certainly some
I had posted this morning asking about pup-pup and I was really worried it was parvo, glad to know the baby had its shot already for that. Thanks for the update!
Good news today for me
I posted about this a few weeks ago. I had tile put in throughout my grand room, porcelain to be exact, spent over $8,000.00 for that and lo and behold something that was supposed to be the tops started getting spots all over it. Not only that but I noticed some scuff marks. The installer came over, the people from the tile company came over, even the manufacturer from Italy came over. That was put in in May, now September almost over. I wrote a demand note to the installer I wanted it redone at his expense (I paid him for everything up front) and before the letter had time to get to him he called telling me the tile company going to pay to have it completely redone. I am a happy girl. Even though I love the porcelain, needless to say afraid to choose the same and going with another kind. Keeping the old fingers crossed!
'statins - any good/bad news? sm
I have been placed on generic Zocor, low dose, and really hate being on pills, I don't know why he wants me to take it h.s., but take Tricor in the morning, along with two BP (nifedipine and Atacand) meds. I just hate putting stuff in my system, feel like I'm poisoning myself and perhaps it's my imagination, but I felt better taking nothing. BP has improved but my overall health feels compromised by all these pills and my stomach is not too happy.
How about some happy good news
Anybody got any? Seems like lately there has been page after page of bad news, news stories and more. Now please don't think I'm knocking anyone for posting them but I really really need a pick me up today and I think a lot more are needing it too.
Sooooo that being said....does anyone have any good news to share? Anyone preggers, expectant grandparents, bought a new outfit, shoes, jewelry?
While I'm thinking of good news
y'all can enjoy a pic of my furbabies, they always make me smile.
Glad to hear the good news -sm
Thanks for the update. That is good news! You have eased my mind about having it done, and I hope to do it real real soon. I know I've put it off long enough. Your messages have been so encouraging and much appreciated. I'll keep watching in case you post any more good news. ;-)
I am SO happy to hear the good news - sm
Have you tried offering her the AD food you get from your vet mixed with Pedialite? Very high in nutrition. I also like to offer them the meat baby foods and small pieces of ham or whatever else they like. Cherish every day with her. Love her. Put her needs before your own no matter what. I think you will know when it is time to let her go. Focus on the joy she has brought you over her lifetime. I will be thinking about the two of you. :-)
I heard some really good news, look inside
I also am in Georgia and perhaps you have listened to Clark Howard or Elise Glink who fills in sometimes for him. She was talking the other day to a guy who wanted to get into nursing. The opportunities are endless right now. Places are actually paying for any and all tuition, etc. you need - in return you work for them for ?? don’t know the length but if I were you, I would definitely go for it. The pay is otta sight, the rewards many, and you know with MTing how it is going! I do not think you would be doing the wrong thing if you did. I hope you will look into the issue of having the lot paid for you, what could you lose? You might try looking on Glink's web, you could get in touch with wsbtv consumer line and they will give you that link (that is out of Atlanta if you don’t know). Good luck with that!
Thanks for the good news! Enjoy your baby! :-) nm

Good news on Lucy, the destructive dog
I have found humane society that arranges spaying/neuturing at no cost to me except for $5.00 for antibiotics the animal hospital charges. Lucy's mother tells me this morning she has decided probably best to give her up. I have found a place that rehomes animals through Petco- group of ladies- they take all animals as their own and animals can be returned once adopted, no questions asked, if they do not work out for the people. I reallly feel fortunate to have found this group of people on Craig's out of Atlanta.
Glad to hear the good news! Now.......

Okay good news first, the running will stop at some point.
My youngest (3-1/2 now) did the same thing, and my 5-year-old never did either. I was mortified with his behavior and the worst part was my dh thought I was overreacting. Then he took the kids to the store alone one day. He came home and said "Wow Tommy is naughty in the store", well duh!!!! that is why I look like I have been through a battle when I get home from the store everytime. At about 2 1/2 he started listening and got psyced about holding on to the cart with mommy, or even better riding in one of the "car carts" that they have at the supermarket. But anywhere that he needed to sit still for I just ended up finding a babysitter until he was more calm (around 32 months).
My 5-year-old starts school this year too and she is having the same issue. She is not a shy girl by any means,but she is soooo worried about K. I think it is normal and I am hoping that she will be okay once she gets there and is involved in the activities.
Sorry I guess this was not really much help, except to know you are not alone.
Hey - that's great!! Nice to hear some good news (nm)

reverse it
I want out of my marriage. Been married many years and been unhappy for many years. I care about my wife and don't want to hurt her, but I just don't love her and I want to be on my own with my two girls. They are not too fond of their mother, and I feel that I could give them a much happier life without her in the picture. I just want out, but she is holding on for dear life. It is too hard for her to give up the convenience of having everything done for her, I suppose.
Any advice on how to go about this in the most painless way possible??
Have you tried reverse psychology on him? sm
I have an 8-yo son who is very defiant like that. I have learned the only thing that works with him is reversing the psychology. I have to be extremely nice to him to make him behave if that makes sense. I ask him to do things rather than tell him. Once a battle begins, the only thing that works is being very loving to him. Then he straightens up and is on the best behavior all day until another trigger!
