And Thursday night is safer than Friday night - how?
We used to live in a town that was once in the Guiness Book of World Records for number of churches per capita (which by the way was the worst place I've ever lived - discourteous, Nazi schools, etc.), and they wouldn't let us trick or treat on Sundays. Ridiculous! People can say what they want but celebrating Halloween doesn't make you a devil worshiper! Just my 2 cents!
Ho Hum show last night
Thought David Cook was not up to par. Although I'm not a fan of Kristy's I think she did well last night and should carry her through another week. Brooke is starting to get boring, she or Syesha may go tonight. Does anyone remember Tiny Tim from the ƌos, the one with the ukulele, I can't help thinking about him when I see Jason playing that thing.
How long was last night's show?
I only got an hour of it recorded, and it cut off before the credits rolled at the end.  Was it 2 hours long, as usual, last night and I missed an hour?  I hope not.  I need my AI infusion!
I didnt see last night's show but SM
I did see her the night before and thought she had that awful stretch-faced look of having too many surgeries. I don't understand how these celebrities think that looks good??!!!??! I like her too but jeez, enough is enough - at some point it's time to grow old gracefully and look normal!
I watched the show last night and ....
IMHO Kate is the one that has changed drastically.  I used to watch the show all of the time, always enjoyed it and she always seemed so focused on her kids and her family but last night things seemed way different.  To me, she seemed more "Hollywood" and just completely different than Jon.  I commend her for fixing herself up but she just seems fake to me now and in my opinion, Jon does not seem to have changed at all.  Even at the end of the show when they were talking to her about the things that had been going on (without Jon there at this time), she started crying and made the comment to someone off camera that she did not want to mess up her make up.  Also during the interview it was all about her speaking engagements and her book tours, etc., etc., etc.  Again, that was just my take on it.
About American Idol show the other night
I saw where some places calling it I-dull. I was disppointed about the show myself when I thought the performers announced ahead of time would really be there, now that would have been a really good show, did not know about taping ahead of time (Elvis can be excused!) I for one have seen first hand third world poverty with small children begging on the streets and people hardlly having a hut to live in so I was not caught up in all the hype about making a better world. This is sweeps week for the televison show so probably this was what their aim was rather than just the giving back.
I watched a show called The Falling Man last night on Discovery, SM
a show about one of the people who jumped from the World Trade Center. Very moving.
I sure will! I will probably go Thursday and get some

School is out on Thursday here nm

It's the Thursday Fun-Poll !!!! YAY!

       Let's see how alike or different we all are!


Chronological Age:  55


Physical Age:  30


Emotional Age:  12


What State:   CA


How you like being an MT:     Eh, it's [barely] a living. 


What you like/dislike about it:   I like to type, but I hate being poor.


Favorite Food:   Hamburgers.


Favorite Spectator Sport(s):   Figure skating.


Most fun you ever had in your life:   Exploring London & Oslo on foot.


One of your worst experiences:   Breaking my leg at the top of the mountain while skiing, and having to hop all the way down on one leg because the ski-patrol blew right by me, and didn't even stop to help. 


Funniest experience:  Getting my fanny-pack caught in a chairlift seat at Squaw Valley, and going clear around the bullwheel before the stoned-out liftie realized what was wrong.   Then, mortified, having to jump 6 or 8 feet to the ground while the liftie & others laughed.  (Find paper bag.  Cover head with it.  Ski away fast!)


Best pet you ever had:   A dog-pound dog I adopted in 1973.  She was my sidekick for 4 years, before getting killed by a car.  She understood English, so you had to s-p-e-l-l  some things in her presence.  She was psychic - always knew what I was thinking.  She went everywhere with me:  Hikes, horseback rides, long car trips, motels, other people's houses, the Renaissance Faire, art shows, concerts, etc.  My mom considered her to be my sister.


Funnest job you ever had:   I was a temp for Kelly Girl, and got to work for 2 weeks at an architect's firm located high in the mountains above Malibu Beach.  Lots of young, cute guys worked there.  Every day at lunch, we all changed into shorts, set up a volleyball court in the parking lot, and played volleyball for an hour! 


Weirdest job you ever had:   Worked (also as s temp) at a toilet-factory in Van Nuys.  The people there were all so high-drama about that place, that I had to stifle giggles more than a few times.  I also used to do saddle-repairs and bridle-making.  Also got paid to drive motor homes for people who were scared to drive them. 


When you win the Big Lottery, you will:     Quit my job!   (duh...)   Buy a small house somewhere, maybe up in Lake Tahoe, preferably with a tennis court in the back.  Will remove the net, and turn it into a private roller rink.  Will make it "flood-able" for winter, so I can ice-skate in my own backyard.  Will maybe get a pet chinchilla.  Will travel frequently, especially back to London.  Will own a season pass to not one, but several ski areas.  Will become more involved in animal rescue.


Your favorite musical group(s):   Pussycat Dolls (various);  Sundogs (swamp-rock boogie);  Red Elvises (Siberian surf-rock); Trans-Siberian Orchestra (orchestral rock); Michael Franti & Spearhead (various, reggae, etc.);  Grateful Dead (various).


Latest pet peeve:   Obnoxious skateboarders.


Favorite News Anchor:  Brian Williams.  (What a cutie!)


Favorite past Sat. Nite Live comedian:   Gilda Radner


Favorite current Sat. Nite Live comedian:  Kristin Whig...  (her "Penelope" character has me ROTFL.)


Favorite Sports Hero(s):   Apollo Anton Ono (short-track speed skater), Johnny Mosely (freestyle skier), Peggy Fleming (ice skater), and Joe Montana (and I don't even like football!) 


Most disliked sports figure(s):   Barry Bonds, and all those other 'roid junkies.  OJ Simpson is no prize, either.


I cook / don't cook because:   If God had intended for me to cook, I would've been born with Teflon hands.


What you would replace in your house:  My fridge.  It's OLD.   The freezer is not frost-free, and this most recent time I defrosted it, it had gotten SO small inside, that only 2 Swanson chicken pot-pies would fit in it. 


Who did you look up to as a kid or teenager?    One of my horseback-riding instructors.  Not only taught us kids how to ride, but she also took groups of us on field trips to places like the Art Museum, the Ballet, historial spots in the city, movies, miniature golf, concerts, the 4th of July fireworks, etc.  She practically raised some of us.


Did you pass the 1st time you took your driver's test?   No.  I forgot to look over my left shoulder when changing lanes, and he flunked me for that.  I was sooooo embarrassed, I didn't go back to re-take it for several months!


Do you text when you drive?   Haha.... I can't even text when I'm sitting in the living room!  Them little buttons is 'way too small for me........


What you hope to see in your lifetime:   Solar-powered EVERYTHING... houses, cars, even airplanes.  (yeah, right...)    Switzerland.  Mount St. Helens.  Paris.  Another Olympic in-person.  (Went to summer 1984 in Los Angeles... it was just TOO much fun!)   The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in person.  Death Valley.  Burning Man.  Australia & New Zealand.  Spain.  Ireland.  A tornado (from a safe distance).  And....!   MT becoming a good-paying job again someday.


Worst pain you ever felt:   A couple of real doozer, 3-day migraines.  Yes, those were even worse than my broken leg! 


How you treat a really bad mood:   I avoid other people if possible.  Stay inside all day and watch lots of daytime "trash-TV" shows.  Buy a gallon of chocolate-chip-cookie-dough ice cream, and polish that puppy off in one sitting.  Spew a little on Craigslist's "Rants & Raves" board.  Bake a few million cookies.  Go for a very long drive, hike, skate, or bike ride.  And....double up on the Prozac


Favorite gemstone:   Amethyst


Favorite color(s):   Purple


Favorite domestic animal:  Horses, cats


Favorite wild animal:  Mountain Lions


Happy Flyer, or White-Knuckler?   Happy mid-flight, white-knuckler on takeoffs/landings.

"I would rather die than eat a - :"       Tomato.


A friend or relative who passed away 20+ years ago gets to come back and visit you for a day: 


You would be proudest to show them:    The view from where I'm living.


They would be most shocked by:  The attacks on 9/11.

Well, I lost my job on Thursday the 12th,
so I guess that's the bad luck day for me now.

I loved that job, but the economy finally got to the nursery business I've been working for. I was offered a lesser job until the economy comes back, but I don't know how I'll survive. I've been without a computer for about 3 weeks, so I couldn't do any of the general transcription work I had started doing. Life was really good for the month since I'd moved out and started over on my own, too.
In Limestone County, Alabama, Thursday the 24th is the last day.
Students go half-day Thursday.
My 2 high schoolers started back last Thursday. It is
so hot here (Virginia) they are having to dismiss school early. The high school is putting in an air conditioning as well as a new heating system even as we speak, but the air won't be up and running until next spring. Now if only all the other schools would get air conditioning. Hopefully soon.
I bowl on Thursday nights so it's take out for the rest of the family - NM
NM
Grey's Anatomy & Hopkins - Thursday nights. sm
Law & Order SVU and Desparate Housewives. I usually use the DVR and watch them when I get a chance.
Burn Notice starting it's new season on Thursday
that is one fine man.... yummy...oh, yeah, love the show, too.
Need results!
my daughter is getting married in May - I want to lose 10-15 pounds by then. . I REALLY am going to try. . I think I can do it. . many people lose so much more than that. . that seems like it should be easy. .but at this point, I would be happy with 5 pounds. . we'll see...
AI Results . . All I have to say is

I've gotta start voting!! 


and wasn't that a bit cruel that Ryan mentioned no one was voted off last year's Give Back show - ouch - that hurt


 


Great results for me
Five months post op, no period!
Have you gotten results when you've hit him?
Or has he continued his behavior even when he's received a spanking or switching or whatever? Please consider this!

Something's going on with him obviously and he has no clue how to express it. Poor thing!
I definitely will let you know when I start seeing results! I sm
am usually a quitter when it comes to stuff like this b/c I'm so busy with work, home, kids, but I am not giving up this time even if I don't start seeing results in 3 months!
"not seeing results" ?

But you just named some fantastic results already after 1+ weeks -- you feel better, have more energy, and you're motivated.  Those are the results that will get you to your goal weight/size.  But -- and I'm no health/exercise expert here -- IMO how you feel and your health are the more important thing than what size jeans you wear.  How you feel, your energy level, any health conditions that are improved, your self-esteem -- those are what you need to focus on and you're already seeing results in those areas!  Congratulations!!  The weight/size will take time but are worth the wait and are even more fun to enjoy when you FEEL better and you have the sense of accomplishment and pride that you did this for yourself.  (Keep in mind how long it took you to get to your current weight and remember it WILL NOT take that long to lose it again :-)  It took me 36 years and 4 pregnancies to get to my "fat" jeans - but only 6 months to get to my "skinny" jeans)


About 4 years ago I managed to do just what you are doing - walking on a treadmill 30-60 minutes (depending on how I felt and time) 5-7 days a week.  I felt wonderful and so proud of myself for making this change.  Gradually, over a couple months, as I felt better physically and mentally I added some LIGHT weights (hand and ankle weights) and floor exercises -- I never have been and never will be "athletic" or "physically active".  I have never participated in an organized sport and never will and my hobbies are reading and embroidery, my job consists of sitting on my tuckus... 


I also read the Adkins diet book.  Like many I also did not want to change my eating habits -- mainly because I didn't feel I needed to all that much.  I don't care much for sweets and, like you, have a house, family and full-time job to keep me busy.  I didn't want to cut out any "treats" I could give myself to keep my sanity :-)  Fortunately, I already pretty much ate an Adkins type diet -- I love protein foods and, as I said, don't care much for sweets anyway (other than Dove chocolates and strawberry licorace) and I could eat salads every day.  Carbs were fairly easy for me to cut down on -- again, I did not take it to an extreme as suggested in the book (which I felt was extreme, anyway).  I didn't change my eating habits much but was just more aware of them and learned some of the things I could/was willing to change that would help.  What amazed me what how GOOD I felt.  For the first time in my life I felt like I had energy, I slept better, and was more awake/alert during the day, and I was so incredibly proud of myself for doing this for myself - what a sense of accomplishment.  It took about 6 months, but I was able to lose approx. 20-25 pounds.


Now for my big warning -- once you lose it you do have to keep working to keep it off!  As I said, this was 4 years ago.  Two years ago I had to take on a 2nd job.  My eating habits went to pot and I had no time for exercise.  I have now gained back 15-20 of those pounds.  The good thing is I know it took me 2 years to gain that weight back but I know I can lose it much faster than that - thank goodness.  I just quit my 2nd job and am SO looking forward to getting back on my treadmill and eating dinner at a reasonable hour instead of at 9 pm before falling straight into bed.  That has got to be the worst habit I adopted!  I can't wait to feel good again and have more energy, better skin and hair, and better health.


Good luck to you and congratulations!


How long did it take to actually seen results? NM

Yep, same story, same results... cheaters never win. nm

If she wants to choose whether or not a baby results from sex
then she better choose to block that sperm from reaching the egg, because if it does, well then, a baby may very well result from sex. I mean, I understand when it's very, very early, but come on, abortion has really been taken way, way too far, to the point of murder of a full-fledged baby, and some people think, hey, that's okay, it's the mother's decision.
Can you get a copy of the lab results? A search is..sm
showing that quite a few bugs can cause those rare infections including E. coli 0157:H7, the Listeria family (listeriosis), Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella typhimunium, and the funguses from the mycoses family, but you said this was a bacteria, just to name a few. And there's always MRSA and MRSE, too. Ask the doc for a definitive diagnosis so you can be more informed, and my prayers are with you and your family. nm
Results came back positive...I have breast CA.
Will correspond with you via e-mail.
don't believe they were the bottom 3, Ryan said results in NO ORDER. (nm)

I hope you get better results from your school district
Good luck with your situation. Why some people are allowed to teach is beyond me. My best friend's son is what they call an "inclusion" child in his classroom. His aide who he works with every day was accused and it was "found" that she grabbed him by the arm and twisted it after he raised his hand to tell he had had just lost a tooth, and she's still teaching there in the same classroom. Nothing at all was done and she took it all the way to the school board. All they told her was she was dealt with appropriately.
How long for endometrial biopsy results to come in? sm
I am chomping at the bit here.  When should I call them if they do not call me?  Thanks, ladies! 
American Idol results- were you satisfied?
Last night was really no big surprise but I think kind of boring. I just did not particularly care for the group but I was glad to see that next week we have more contestants. I don’t care for the way they are picking their 3 each time, not at all. It just seems like ones that are really good do not have a chance this way whereas in years past seems like just anyone could have made it. How do others feel about this, do you like the 3 each winners this year? I heard them also say the judges would make the decision about possibly bringing back some they liked? Well, I guess Norman or Normal or whatever his name was (I"m not leaving guy) probably will just have to pack his bags according to Simon.
I missed the show but yesterday on her show
a couple of brothers came in and gave money to the family. Sorry I don't have more info, but like you, I do love the show. The brothers tried to give some of the credit to Oprah but she wouldn't take it. She really wanted the brothers to get all the credit.
I had the same thing the night before...last night though (sm)
made teriyaki chicken and macaroni and cheese from a box. Tonight is chicken and rice. Tomorrow night is leftover teriyaki chicken :-)
How long is too long to wait for Pap results?
This is a follow up Pap for an abnormal one a few months back.  I have waited for the results for over a month and have called the office once.  Any advised about being a patient patient - LOL.  Its hard when your in this business, I think anyway, not to be more aggressive about stuff like this.
The show 24. Anybody know
when or if the show is coming back on Fox?  What happened to it? 
TV Show 24
Do any of you keep up with this show?  Have any of you watched it from the beginning?  I'm just getting into it and wondered if it would be worth buying the previous seasons' dvds. "Jack Bauer fan"
I think you would like the show
Planet Earth on discovery channel.   It's got beautiful photography and filming of animals all over the world. A recent one showed a fox snatching a baby snow geese from it's nest, and you feel awful but then it shows the fox bringing the food to babies of it's own and realize it needs food too!  It's all a perfectly laid out plan and we humans are the ones who really mess up the balance on this planet.
Anyone who can tell me what that show was about
I did not see and therefore cannot comment.
I like that show too.
nm
Has she been on the show
yet? I don't remember anybody named Maureen. I heard something, but it's a big time SPOILER so I don't want to say it, but I just can't think of who she is
It does not show W. VA. nm
:
the show is

The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet. Hopes this makes it on board.


Just show the cat the box
Just take her and put her in the box. She will naturally know what to do and should start using it again. If not, I would call a vet.
Best show on TV
nm
Just the best show ever!
Funny, weird with some great eye candy.
There is a show that comes on TLC
that is filmed at the Brookhaven Clinic for morbidly obese people. They mentioned on that show that some of the residents had to be taken to the zoo for imaging because they were too heavy/large for regular equipment.
No, this is a different show s/m
True life, where unless I missed it (only saw the last 15 minutes), no religion is involved. 
She will get her own show on TLC. Everyone will
xx
Yes, to me, he WAS the show. That
episode tears me up every time I see it. It was never the same after he left.
Just goes to show ya ....
I watched it and then the interview on GMA and that was priceless.  What a truly joyful, humble and talented lady. I could have just smacked Simon - actually all the judges and most of the crowd for their initial reactions.  Guess she showed them all looks are not everything and I am so happy this lady is getting all this acclaim.  She is just priceless. 
There is a show that comes on BET
on Sunday and it is called "Sunday Best." Anyone on that show beats what they have on Idol this year. I have basically stopped watching. No matter if Susan looks like poop, the people are sure taken with her. Adam will go the way of Taylor Hicks and Fantasia, one shot.
