I have chosen Melinda since the beginning but Jordan was also good last night. I like your choices but after that it is all downhill for me. This is the weakest crowd of singers yet. Saw them in concert about 3 years when they made their rounds afterward, not wasting my time anymore. I hope the worst goes, otherwise I fear for the show's staying power.

we didn't start watching it this year...
Just for this reason...it's not about talent, it's about who we *like" the most. I'm glad I didn't get sucked in this year, sounds like a big flop! But do enjoy keeping updated about it from this site, thanks y'all!
more disappointed on 9/10/07 when
At that point, as of 9/10/07, I'm dumping The View........
I *heard* that Ellen Degeneres' show might be shown at the same time as The View. Guess what? That's where I'll be headed if that happens!! Love her show and she is just so not controversial and SHE IS SMART!! I think Sherri Sheperd is lacking in the latter area plus 3 comediennes on the panel? I don't think so......
And Barbara Walters needs to leave. A lady always knows when to leave but Baba Wawa just doesn't get it. 
I am very disappointed
that those are the final 2, but it is a game and they got to the end even though most of us don't appreciate their tactics. I do believe that the person in 2nd place gets money as well, though not as much. I would not bet on them getting along real well after getting out of the house though.
I'm so sorry. You must be really disappointed.
I live in the mid-Atlantic, and we get a real mix of weather. Never tons of anything for months at a time, but every couple of months (or hours!) the weather changes. I was glad that the snow missed us. I hate the shoveling. But it is pretty stuff.
Have you ever been disappointed in your
DD or DS on how they are raising your grandkids. I don't want a rant on DDILs or DSILs.
I spent the week-end keeping the Grands while mom and dad worked. They do not listen well at all. DGS is ADHD, he is not doing well in school and his behavior (at home, not school) is awful. Like I say they do not mind, and DD and DSIL let it go until they are mad and then they yell and threaten to spank them. The kids know that 9 times out of 10, nothing will happen, so they don't quit.
They do listen to me and their other grandmother, because if we say we are going to spank, we do.
They also do not eat well. They eat, fishsticks, chicken nuggets, pizza bites, peanut butter, french fries, yogart and maybe a few other things.
Mom and Dad are junk eaters so they don't serve other things.
I'm disappointed I won't be able to use my little sm
battery-operated TVs anymore. They came in handy during long power outages.
Sm's right. In other words, you can't "watch TV" without a converter box, but still can use the TV for previously recorded things or rental movies on DVD or VHS.
So disappointed
OK New Englander and Heroes hit the nail on the head. I just wanted clarification that I was not the only person who had this impression. I don't usually go on public forums to vent BUT...........
Four years ago I met a guy who is a firefighter/paramedic/ER tech (on his days off and when I met him he was training police across the nation for Homeland Security in Haz mat response. He is college educated, polite, very well mannered. We have seen each other a few times since I met him and we email and talk frequently. Sounds like a nice guy, right?
The first of Feb he called me and asked me if he could borrow some money for an unexpected property tax bill. He changed jobs and moved to a different state right about the time the housing market started to bottom out. I know in the state I live in if your property is not your principal place of residence your tax rate changes. Soooo long story short...I sent him a cashier's check, he emailed me and called me and said thanks I couldn't have done it without you. Then he started talking about coming to my house and do some work for me to work off some of the money and I was thinking well I really need the money but I thought I would just let that part play out. Then the end of April I emailed him and said I really need to know if you can start paying something on this loan. You guessed it...he has not answered, nor has he called me. Three more emails have gone unanswered. My whole family was police officers and I always held police and fire in high esteem....these are the people who put their lives on the line for us everyday. Boy am I ever stupid.....So anyone have any ideas?
I'm also disappointed that you chose this route.
It seemed obvious that you didn't want the paddling to happen, but you caved and let someone else (school and daughter) make the decision.
Whether one is for or against corporal punishment isn't even the issue for me. The bigger thing with me is the thought that some adult getting may be getting his/her thrills from paddling a teenage girl.
So disappointed in Whoopi today on The View!
I live in the deep south and talking about Michael Vick today Whoopi is so misinformed. I have sent the show an email and hopefully it gets to her attention but having said that, she was saying how dogfighting was a cultural thing here in the "deep south." I was born and raised in the south and know of no one who condones this type of inhumane behavior. with her having said that with such authority as really knowing the facts, I think puts southerns in a terrible light. I myself am a huge animal lover with lots of pets and her statements really offended me and I am sure other southerns. Maybe she will get enough feedback to acknowledge she might ought to research a little further before making overall statements about how southerns are.
I'm disappointed that you said yes - you can go to the school and change your mind! (nm)

I was disappointed in the group last night basically
No one really grabbed me like I would like them to. Adam was okay but I am just not into him as well. The group overall had none of the zing felt with the first group. Oh, well, I think there is a brand new group next week, isn't that so and how many more groups are there?
I'm very disappointed, but not in what you call "anti-Christian posts."
Have you heard this famous quote from St. Francis of Assisi: “Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.”
He was a very great man who encouraged Christian action and greatly discouraged people preaching AT others.
Looking at holiday pics, I am so disappointed in my double chin. sm
Any ideas how to get rid of this fat bag around my chin/neck area? Do you just have to lose a lot of weight for it to decrease? I am obese at 180 lbs, 5Ɗ". But boy it just looks horrible in pics. It bothers me more than the actual overall weight does. Guess diet is in for my New Years's resolutions........
Bigger issue - a 16 year old living withi a 29 year old and liability
Are you still not responsible for him until he is 18, how can he tell you where he will live? Unless he emancipates himself and he does something wrong, can they go against you since you are his mother and legally responsible for him? I worry more about him living with a 29 year old sister rather than returning a house key to me that is a bigger issue.
My 14-year-old is going to be a mother-in-law (so funny) if you google it and 11-year-old daughter

Won $2,000 on slot machine on New Year's Eve. What a way to start the year. nm

Set my budget a year in advance, save all year and

What a difference a year makes! Last year, sm
we had the same problem. Fines everywhere for watering.
Paid $60,000 on principal last year and this year
planning on another $30,000 after my taxes paid for the year. We are getting our house paid down very quickly.
55-year old woman has birthday sex with 12-year old
DAYTON - Gloria Murphy gave children celebrating her 55th birthday alcohol and then had sex with a 12-year-old boy at the party on Thursday, Jan. 29, according to police.
The boy got into Murphy’s bed at 5440 Rawlings Drive, where the married woman had sex with her adolescent neighbor, according to police and Montgomery County prosecutors.
Two of the children at the party ran home at about 6 a.m. Jan. 30 and told a parent they saw the boy and woman having sex, according to 911 audio.
The parent then called police at about 6:15 a.m., according to a police report and 911 audio.
Murphy did not force the boy to have sex, but since he is younger than 13, it is considered rape, Lt. Patrick Welsh said. No other children were involved in the sexual encounter, but some other children at the party consumed alcohol, according to police.
I think he is doing his job and watching over you.
Can you honestly believe that in the face God, whom you supposedly worship at church and live for, it is okay to portray and celebrate evil or anti-God anything?
If you do, then you really need to visit your preacher today.
As for watching...sm
I think it's because they wouldn't pay much attention to the teacher:-) I sat right outside the door with the other moms and talked, and we could pretty much hear everything. I know there are pricier places that allow you watch on a TV screen, which would be neat. That's not a bad price for the costume if that's what it'll be! Thanks for responding!
Not really into it, but watching it anyway.
Why oh why do I keep watching??? (sm)
Please, if they let Taylor and Nick's baby be Brooke's egg....I'll scream! Can it get any more ridiculous than that? I guess it can though, I mean having the ex-wife of your present husband/daughter of your husband's ex-wife/woman who once carried your husband's child but miscarried artificially inseminate you...come on now, too whacked for me! But I do keep watching...
I'm nor sure after watching exactly (sm)
what to think. I never did follow the story very closely. I don't believe she is much of a speaker, but after the life she says she led, that is not surprising. What mainly caught my attention and really annoyed the bejeebers out of me is Oprah's attitude. To me it seemed so obvious that she wasn't "buying" any of it, and I'm glad the lawyers called her on her remark at the end of the show. I don't care much for his parents, not sure why, but I don't, just a feeling. I hope she gets her kids back.
DH was watching it...
He wanted a cuda' for his b-day on Monday. Yeah, honey. You betcha'!
Watching AI
I watched it periodically last night. We were at my father-in-law's for his 80th birthday. Maybe it was because I didn't see everyone, but I didn't like this group at all. There was no one I was interested in watching. I did like I think three out of the ones that I saw, but like I said I don't think it helped that I really get a chance to sit down and really watch it. I'm just waiting for the competition to really start. It seems like it's dragging this year with the way they're doing things.
Ya all watching ER.
Sniff, Sniff. Not sure what I'm gonna do without it. Last episode is pretty good so far. Sniff, sniff.
Is everyone watching this on MSNBC?
Which attorney collapsed?!?! What happened? I missed it.
Well, actually, watching everything you put into your mouth is not
really living, is it?!?! I agree with your post to a point, I think most people try to eat healthy these days, but personally I enjoy a Big Mac supersize meal with a Coke, an entire bag of chips or a HUGE slab of cheesecake once in a while. Gotta live a little ;)
so what you're saying is watching them is bad..*lol*
 
Why do you keep watching, my guess
you have no life?
I just started watching B&B
ever since Constantine joined the cast. The writers seem to like these storylines. Something similar happened on Days of Our Lives.
Yes, I am watching it right now. Showing
repeat footage. I am sure she dressed that way and looked the worst she could so the judge would feel sorry for her or something like that.
Greta Van Susteren says she needs medical attention and that there is something wrong with her.
DH and I were watching a Cricket
commercial together. Apparently Cricket is a phone, but I am bored by phones and other electronics, so I was just watching the actress in the ad. She can't be 20 years old and has beautiful hair, face and figure. She wears low-cut jeans with the phone product tucked in the hip-level waistband. They show her strolling along in slow-mo, swinging her hips. I look over and DH is mesmerized. When the ad is over I asked DH if he thought she was pretty, and he said, "Who?" I said "The girl in the ad." He said, "The phone ad?"
He honestly seemed confused and didn't remember the girl, but wanted to tell me all about the boring phone! Ha!
What's really hilarious is that if his dad had been watching, now HE would have said the typical, "What phone? - that girl was beautiful!"
Was watching until they put through this man/woman.. sm
who was supposed to be bellydancing. He/she was terrible and they put him through and got rid of some really good people. My daughters have taken dance over the last 10 years and I can honestly say that many 8-9 year olds can bellydance way better than that. They sent home tons of talent and put through some really untalented people. Also, why is it called America Has Talent and two of the judges are not American??
I will definitely be watching this show!
Plus, I loooooove Lisa Ling. She is such a great reporter and so brave. She's not afraid to go anywhere to cover a story. I have so much respect for her and am interested in what she will find out when calling the insurance companies.
Bird watching
I like to watch the birds out my kitchen window, but they spook easily, like every time we walk into the kitchen. I'd like to put a film on the window that would allow me to see out, but not be the mirror reflective type that would cause the birds to attack the window or try to fly through.
The only one I've found like that had a military camouflage pattern (not too lovely, LOL). I'm sick of searching, and was hoping somebody else had already found something. Oh, and the easier to apply, the better! Temporary/cling is fine, but I do have to be able to see out.
I am watching CNN and no word there. nm

Is anyone watching Crowned
that mother daughter, uh, pageant, and I left out beauty for a very good reason, which leads me to my question. Is it a joke? Like a mock on pageants or something? It sure is entertaining.
Watching birds
That is so cool. I know there are lots of beautiful birds around here (N FL), including woodpeckers (have pecked trees to prove it lol), but I never thought to actually watch and document them.
The other night around 1 a.m. I was walking my dogs and there were probably 4 or 5 owls (I counted 4 for sure) situated within may a 100-yard radius. They kept 'talking' to each other. Each would repeat the previous 'chant.' It was really interesting to listen to them. They really had a rhythm goin'!
My son's GF said she saw a hawk on the fence a couple days ago. Wish I could have seen that!
But... shameless confession... my favorite bird is the vulture. They are magnificent... I know many people don't like them because of what they do for a livelihood, but I love them.
Anyhow... happy bird-watching. And thanks for sparking a potential hobby over here :-)
Anyone watching Jericho?
This was third episode this season. Love the show. I've watched the reruns over and over from season one. Really makes you wonder what you'd do in an extreme emergency.
Anyone watching He*l's kitchen
Anyone watching the new season of Hel*'s kitchen with Chef Gordon Ramsey. I missed last week but caught it last night. DH and I love that show. Ramsey tells em like it is. I hope some of them get better because I would not ever eat anything any one of those contestants ever made. They are supposed to have some experience but they waste so much food. Just wondered if I'm the only sicko out here who laughs when those people get yelled at.
Is anyone watching Gone Country?
What do your think about Sean Young?
I'm watching the gme right now. Woohoo! nm
Anybody watching the kids
on Dancing With The Stars? Good golly, those kids are good. Must take a good deal of discipline to get that far. Love it.
Sorry, but I think I am going to stop watching this
nm
Been watching reports on TV all day on this.
Sounds really scary. The worst and most alarming report as the worry about spread through the folks traveling to work on the subway systems and public transportation. The last report by Dr. OZ was that they would know more by Friday and be updating things then. Have a local hospital here in town reporting one case and waiting for test results.
One report said if things get really severe, they will close businesses and doggone it all - we work from home, will still be working, and bet the ERs and hospitals will have more reports than ever.
How sad! I enjoyed watching her on Jay Leno.
nm
Yeah, I'm done watching. Last night did it for me.
I have watched every year, but this is too much. Sanjaya, blech!
If he wins, definitely not watching anymore!
There is no way he even compares to Melinda or Jordin. I was not too happy with Taylor Hicks last year. So if it happens again, I'm done. : )
