Show went downhill after the George Clooney days..sm
Posted By: Bunzy on 2007-05-18
In Reply to: Any ER fans out there? What did you think of last night's cliffhanger? (sm) - SP
It is too much like a soap opera now. I remember the days when it was all about actual medicine and patients and doctors. Now it's just love triangles and boring characters. I think it needs to end as well. I watch just for Archie cuz he cracks me up!

George Clooney, yum yum!

George Clooney's doorstep. : )

He look - he has George Clooney's hair.
Cute dog.
I've had a George-Clooney sound-alike
at most of my jobs, but so far haven't heard him yet at this job.
Too bad ...
Not real original but the first one that comes to mind is George Clooney. nm

Bewitched. George Clooney or Brad Pitt?
40 employees in a NJ hospital suspended for leaking George Clooney's sm
medical records after his accident a few weeks ago and this even includes some doctors! But, here is George's response: This is the first I've heard of it. And while I very much believe in a patients right to privacy, I would hope that this could be settled without suspending medical workers." -- George Clooney
I love him even MORE now! LOL
Disco baby...Brad Pitt or George Clooney
a
No, George, the old crazy guy.. I miss that show.

The year is going downhill...
My husband has 4 sisters and of course they are all married, have kids of their own, some grandkids, etc. Graduation has always been a big deal and we usually have one each year or every other year and afterwards a big family get together, etc. This year one of the nephews has decided he wants to get married in May but hasn't set a date yet. I just sent an email out to everyone to save the date because my oldest son (from a previous marriage) is graduating this coming May. The mom of the nephew just sent me an email back and said that graduation better not interfere with the wedding. Since the wedding is not set, why not put it on a date that won't interfere. On my side of the family it's just me and I just feel like the last few years he's gotten the shaft with family stuff and this just tops it off. It's definitely turning into a bah humbug time of year. {sigh}
clooney.

I make around $50,000 but I work 7 days a week and long days, although I'm not a fast typer eithe
I think even if your fast, you'd still have to work more than 40 hours a week to make that but I could be wrong.
I remember those days too, but these days they don't want make any child felt left out. They wan
to make each of them feel special and that they have accomplished something. My 8-year-old brings a certificate of some kind during the day, accelerated reader award, trustworthy award, jr. achievement award, etc. I guess in a way, no one kid is pointed out as the "teacher's pet" or have the other kids being jealous of him/her for getting this or that award. 
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.
Lake George
There's also Waterslide World nearby - good fun for your kiddies if the weather's hot!
lake george
Yes, we're leaving Monday for three days. No plans to swim at the lake though - just in the heated hotel pool...LOL. We actually going to be in Queensbury, so the main goal of the trip is "kid-style" fun activities. Our "beach" vacation is later this summer in Maine...To be honest, I don't care if it rains all three days while we're in Lake Goerge...I will be happy to get away and my 5yo son will be happy just to have a "little fridge" in the hotel room.
Lake George
Every summer as a little girl we use to camp at Lake George. I loved it!
Yep, George W. is a real
xx
ER MT have you been to Lake George?
We were just there this past July. I love that area. So beautiful. Would love to see it in the fall. Only a 3-1/2 to 4 hour ride from northern NJ for me.
Anything by Boy George or Madonna, but
I also agree with some of the other suggestions, like Ring My Bell, Feelings (gag).
Near Lake George
and the snow, she's a comin' down !
My neighbor, George...
who is taking great care of his wife, who has Alzheimer's, and still finds time to plow the snow off his neighbors' driveway with his tractor.
You mean my husband, George?
lmao. We've been married for years. He just doesn't know it yet. 
He was even here in my city not too long ago filming a movie and I missed him!!!! I was so po'd when I found out. Missed him by that much! (said in my best Maxwell Smart voice.) If I'd known I would have gone down and tried to watch the filming.
I heart George. 
George Forman grills
I'm thinking of buying one of these electric grills - has anyone used one? I know they are supposed to be healthy because they drain the fat but do they drain so much fat that the food is tasteless? 
Saw George with Ravi Shankar . . .
My sister saw the Beatles in Chicago. Sure brings back memories
lake george NY ideas?
We are going to Lake George for three nights, leaving on Monday and returning Thursday. We are staying at the Country Inn and Suites right next to the park. Has anyone ever stayed there? I think it used to be called the Wakita and they redid it in 2006. Any input as to activities, we are 2 adults - mom and dad - and daugther, 8yo, and son 5yo. So far, we are using our season passes for the Six Flags Great Escape, maybe ride the boat Minne Ha Ha on the lake, mini golf... I think there is a drive-in nearby so we might check that out one night if it's nearby. Any personal favorites out there? Has anyone ever been to the Fort William Henry museum?
Oh - and "family-friendly" restaurant recommendations!
Thanks! 
Hot at Lake George, even hot in the Catskills.

I dream he and George are chasing me. Being them,

But ... but ... Didn't ya like and miss George?
Didn't ya like Carter. In the last episode Greene's daughter was on applying as she was a med student and that was neat. But, but, now it's done and gone. Still sniffing.
about 30 days, < 30 days pregnant (nm)

I think the whole idea of the George Foreman grill
therefore the juices are supposed to come out to make it less fatty. Searing in the pan keeps the juice in but also the fat. I liked the taste from the George Foreman grill, but I didn't like the clean-up :(
I would prefer just to bake in the oven actually. Also in regards to marinading meat. 30 minutes is plenty of time. If you keep it in the marinade longer it tends to make the meat rubbery. Just a thought...
Yeah, very strange that it was George who failed.
I wouldn't have been surprised if Izzy failed, but George?
I had heard ahead of time that Burke was going to walk out on the wedding, but I heard it was because he didn't make chief, or because McDreamy made chief instead, and I didn't see how the 2 were related. I know the show is about drama, not realism, but Burke was smart enough to know Christina wasn't as into marriage as he was, so no loss for me except all that expense and loss of eyebrows and all.
George a sammie and get a great panini.

Definitely George mystery novels or romance
!
chocolate. George Lopez or Bill Cosby?

funny read for George Carlin fans..sm
Ya gotta get to your nearest library and ask for this book. I'm laughing my butt off! Just the title alone is sure to offend at least 3 major organized religions and vegetarians.

When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops?

Days gone by
I'm right there with you. It is really scary out there today.
As far as the original post, while I know arrests of innocent people are made, I do find this story EXTREMELY hard to believe. True or not, though, you are right -- protection of your child is your first priority as a mother. Pornography is no longer just looking at naked ladies, it's just downright disgusting. I have two sons, 12 and 10, and I live in fear of what is out there that could hook them.
I have many days like that too :(
x
in a few days?.............no no no.....sm
The faster the better on these fraud things - your daughter is going to wait a few days? This is VERY_BAD.
She should have already gotten a police report (takes 4 days to physically get it in her little hands) - and then she should have ALREADY called the bank to freeze her account, open another account.
BTW, my daughter had her purse stolen from my car - she called me immediately - I was on the phone with the bank, every credit card company, etc. (this was on a Sunday), and on Monday - I showed up at the bank and the perps got NOTHING. Time is of the essence on these matters.
When my daughter first moved out of the house back in 1999, someone stole checks from her house/desk. They got all her $$ which was $1400. She went to the bank - and the bank, at first, didn't want to give her the $$ back - but in the end, they did !!! All the $$.
Again, time is OF THE ESSENCE! Hopefully, while I'm typing this, I'm thinking you are SURE to tell me that the bank was notified via phone when it happened.
*fingers crossed*
Yes, it went away after three or four days.
As far as results, I am 45 with very fair skin. I did notice that my skin FELT nicer. It definitely felt smoother, and I thought I looked "brighter", if that makes any sense. It didn't actually erase any wrinkles, but then, I have to say that I don't have tons of wrinkles - great genetics. I have crinkle lines when I smile, but not wrinkles on my relaxed face. I still use Roc, but only about four times a week, and I'm always very careful about sunblock twice daily. (I like Neutrogena daily defense.)
Days
Do you think Sammy and EJ will get together? I hope so. Lucas is such a tool.
One of those days
I think I am to the point where is someone were to offer me $100 I would take it and take my dog and two cats, leave and not look back. Become homeless, no responsibilities or cares. I know just a bad day and tomorrow will be better. But at least I have somewhere to write this to make me feel better.
I don't think so - these days (sm)
People work into their 70s and beyond, that mentality may have been more reasonable when people retired at 60. Especially if what you want to go to school for is 4 years or less. I actually know someone that finished medical school at 40 and then started into residency - not finishing until 6 years later (extra fellowship).
Yes it is - in the old days with other
sick cats I used chicken baby food. Sometimes mixed vitamin paste available OTC in with it but that changes taste considerably and syringed some in when they were really sick. Baby food is not good for normal cats because it is high in fat but to get more calories in less food in a sick cat it always worked wonders for me. I also mixed a little warm water in it.
My first 2 days were very fun.
The work is such a nice change, constantly moving. There are all these different greenhouses, and it's the slow time of year so I'm doing detail work like making signs. Today I culled out dead plants and entered them into inventory. I have come to terms with my golf cart; it is very useful when it's time to move the "deads" over to the compost heap and empty out the containers. Then I drive the containers over to the potting shed area. We all take lunch and breaks at the same time, and everybody is super nice. I have noticed they eat a lot of fruit and healthy foods for their snacks, and I brought in our leftover veggie tray from New Year's, and they were appreciative to share that with me today. They are very into their dogs and cats, and everybody has an interest in plants in common. I can ask questions about plants any time, whether it's work related or gardening related. I got to look at slides of live nematodes today. I am being taught to recognize pest attacks to report as I do my work. So it's all very active and satisfying for me.
Now if we can just get Bear up to speed. We chose not to crate Bear because it was a longer day with DH out of town. Bear did a little better, but did work on the ottoman a little more. I think we'll try crating him tomorrow, and I'm also eyeing a bottle of clonazepam I have on the counter! I know there are herbal things for dogs I can try also; I've just never had this problem before.
those were the days
I bet the stew cooked on the wood stove was great. . some of the old ways of cooking were tastier than they are now. . . when we had the ice storm a few years ago, my fiance said he fixed all kinds of food on his wood stove. . he was quite pleased with himself. .
Tried it for a few days
but just couldn't stand the taste of the soup any longer! I also didn't lose any wieght but didn't really have high expections either. I think if you have enough will power to try something like that, then just do Weight Watchers. I haven't done it myself but I've seen many people go through that program and it seems to be a heck of a lot healthier and better overall/long run instead of putting yourself on a liquid diet (because basically that's what you're doing with the Cabbage Soup Diet/Lemonade Diet, etc).
People are always looking for the quick & easy way to lose wieght (I won't deny it, myself included). Imagine if we put those efforts of looking for the shortcuts into actually following a real nutrition & exercise plan!
I will let you know. She says it may take a few days SM
to get back to me. I am concerned for them. I can image how she and her husband feel. I saw them today and she, especially is shaken by this. Thanks for caring.
Ever have one of those days
Ever have one of those days that you type and type and type and after 8 hours look and find you've only done 600-700 lines when usually you've done more. Just am frustrated right now. It's hot (102 degrees here), and I'm tired. I'm tired, tired, tired. I feel like I'm getting too old for this (only 48 years old but I feel like I'm 68). Feels like I'm going to just wither and die in this chair. My DH will walk out one day and find me and rigamortise will have set in and he'll have to unclamp my fingers from the keyboard. Guess the heat is just getting to me and I'm tired. Not so much the heat, I'm just tired. Think I overslept. I function good on 6 hours of sleep and last night I got 8 or so. Oh well, in an hour or so I will be completed with my jobs and then will veg out in front of the TV eating something. Oh yes....what an exciting life I lead here. Okay, that's my venting of the day. Thought I'd give everyone something different to read (although I'm sure a lot of you feel the same way). 
YEP - definitely having one of those days...
Guy i've been seeing for 6 months left his wife a couple of weeks ago (yay for me) and then he tells me this afternoon that he's got a girlfriend and that it's serious and that she's supposed to be leaving her husband so that the two of them could be happily ever after. Definitely broke my heart - have cried all night, the thought of food makes me sick at my stomach, then my air conditioning goes out on the house and I have to pay a repairman to come out at 8:30pm to fix it. Oh, think I forgot to mention that I'm also married but he won't deal with anything so I have to get things fixed, pay, etc. Definitely a wo is me kinda night! :(
I go every 2 to 3 days....
my hair is extremely thick and I don't need to shampoo every day, blessed to not have oily problems or dry scalp. I rotate between 3 Redken products, Color Extend, Smooth Down and All Soft, using both shampoo and conditioner. I'm about to try Pureology soon, have heard good things about the products.
