Sex offender wins Lotto jackpot - opinions?
Should he be allowed to keep it?
Mega-mother selling her story
Well, today we find out the mega mother of all mothers wants to sell her story for 2 million. Talk shows, baby expert and all offers are being looked at to "tell her story" according to her spokesperson. I am hearing from this person she is very balanced, very happy about all 14. If she tells her story, maybe that will open up new pathways for others to strive for more than 8 at a time. Just think about the possibilities!
I love Women's Ultra Mega Vitamins at GNC..
They are the only ones that don't make me feel nauseated. I think you are supposed to take 2 a day, but I usually only take 1. Generic vitamins have always made me feel lightheaded and nauseated.
Sure. And don't use MY tax dollars...sm
To fund the worthless "abstinance-only" sex-ed programs that don't work. How many millions (or is it billions?) of our tax $$$ have been wasted on that in recent years by our genius of a president and his ilk?
Instead, give kids some actual useful information so they don't get STDs and don't get pregnant in the first place.
But no, the religious fanatics (don't necessarily mean you, just talking here) don't want anyone telling kids about birth control either. (Gasp! It might give them ideas! - As if they never thought about it before that - LMAO).
I honestly think they don't want anyone, ever to have sex unless they're married and are trying to conceive. Yeah. That's reasonable (not). Course I don't think anyone's ever accused the religious right of being reasonable...
Also, don't use my tax dollars
for the abstinence-only programs, as they obviously do not work that's for sure. I also think all of these religion fanatics/pro-lifers who insist on women having babies that they can't pay for should have to pay all the welfare bills and all the low/no income health programs, etc. that these kids use because I'm certainly sick of paying for other people's kids!
Your certainly right about the religious people who don't think anyone should have sex before they are married. Not only that, but once they do get married and finally are allowed to have sex, they better not enjoy it either, LOL. Sex is only for procreation...not for something evil like pleasure. =)
Your tax dollars
The schools wouldn't have to teach about sex if the parents did it - 99% of the parents will NOT discuss sex with their kids. Apparently, it is "too close to home." If you educated your kids about this, great.
I want my tax dollars to be used to educate kids about sex - the more information they have, the less likely they are to get into premature sexual activity. Do you know what most teenagers who come to Planned parenthood for birth control have already been sexually active for at least a year? That is a fact, and it should scar all of us that our kids are so casual about their own sexual health.
Also, as far as Clinton goes, exactly what felony perjury did he commit? None that I'm aware of. However, the present president has committed multiple felonies since taking ofice - most notably putting thousands of US military personnel in harm's way in a useless, senseless war that only made the rest of the world despise us even more than it did before. IMO, Bush is responsible for every US solider killed or maimed in that war. I've been against it from the beginning - not one of the Janes-come-lately who are now hopping on the anti-war bandwagon.
here is 5 dollars! have one on me!!

Your tax dollars already go to the local shelter/animal control...sm
Police Dept., or whoever handles animals in your community. I hate to break it to you, but you're *already* paying for it. So why not have your tax dollars spent on spay/neuter, education, and training programs thru the shelter *instead* of having to be spent (as they currently are) on housing, feeding, and ultimately euthanizing so many animals? Because a TON of $$$ is spent on that now. Look it up for your community. You'll probably be shocked at the costs.
Honestly, looking at it strictly from the financial aspect of it, it would cost *less* to do more spay/neuter and education. We have it completely backwards. Makes no sense.
That being said, many communities do have organizations that offer low cost spay/neuter for seniors and low income families. And many shelters are starting to get things going in a more postive direction. More power to them. Now if we could only get the pet stores/puppy mills and backyard breeders under control... *sigh*
Half dollars? And that's supposed to be attractive???? HAHAHA! Not.

Thanks a million!
I started getting this error message and when I called my computer people they said I had downloaded something that corrupted my operating system. Who knows what they would have charged I had unhooked everything and taken it in and my computer is only a couple months old. Cannot thank you enough. Was just breezing through here and came upon the post. Downloaded the patch and it works.
yep, 6 million
and no, she didn't keep working. and surprise, the father of her six children all of a sudden decided they should finally get married.
i'm still miffed at her, cuz now i'll never win. who ever heard of anybody who knew someone who won the lotto winning the lotto?
Heard somewhere he would get $45 million
as being the executor or whatever the heck he is but I think more than that he probably should get some time. ET each night is chocked full of Howard, his sister, his brother and last night they were saying he is totally financed by his parents-- that is until he gets his grubby hands on that blood money. He is such a low life hanger-on, really a despicable type of slime.
Your father was a 1 in a million.
A lot of men would have left being walked on and demoralized but your dad didn't want to leave you to suffer it alone. Usually, even when a mother isn't fit to raise a goldfish, mothers still get custody of the kids, and that's sad. There are a lot of great dads out there and they really need to be given the praise they deserve. What a great dad you had. I can see why you cherish him so much.
I should say maybe $2.5 million home
it is really beautiful from the outside. You can see there from the outside there is a very long hallway upstairs that goes from 1 end of the house to the other.
500-800 Million and 12-15 years
to get something through the development process and submitted to FDA for approval. There is no incentive for the pharma or biotech companies to test an all natural product for safety and efficacy as they can't patent it and have exclusive rights in selling it.
I can count on one hand the number of prescriptions I've taken in my life. I don't understand why people will take a med if its something that will run its course and your body will take care of. My doctor is great that way. He'll tell me there is a prescription, but if I'm willing to give it time I don't need to take anything. Much rather that...my belief is that every med has some level of toxicity. I'll suffer through a headache or achy bones before taking an over the counter. There is a point where I'll give in an pop a few pain relievers, but it has to be really bad.
I am less than $100K way from a million-dollar

How about that guy on crack and heroin that won 27 million and blew it all

Couple wins 270 million lottery. sm
South Georgia couple wins big. He only bought 2 tickets, spend $2.00 and won 270 million. They interviewed him on TV - they were living in a mobile home. So happy for them. Nice to see someone that humble and down to earth win.
I would pay a million to watch my MAN give birth!!!! LOL
no msg
I am sick and tired of the umpteen million calls every day
I am on a DO NOT CALL list and I cannot turn off my phone for another few days until the kids are out of school for the summer (school needs to be able to reach me in case of emergency.)
Today, I have had THREE organizations call me for donations to cancer research.
One call from the National Federation for the Blind.
One call from the National Firefighters Association.
This is a typical day.
I have caller ID but the school number shows private so when these places call and also show private name/number, I answer them.
How many times does one have to say DO NOT CALL ME AGAIN?
Criminy! 
Okay, I'm done venting.
Oregon estimating 1.27 million Oregonians sick.
Estimates
Oregon's plans for responding to a moderate pandemic assume one would sicken 1.27 million Oregonians, sending an estimated 12,000 to the hospital and killing 2,500. Health officials don't track every case of the flu but estimate that about 10 percent of Oregonians -- or 379,000 -- fall sick from regular, seasonal influenza on average each year. And across the country, influenza and its complications kill about 36,000 people and send 226,000 to hospitals.
Swine flu has not been identified in any of the samples tested from Oregon patients, but labs continue to process them. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have developed a confirmatory test for swine flu and are distributing it to states. Oregon should have those supplies by Monday, Kohn said.

Woman Fined $1.9 Million For Illegally Downloading 24 Songs
(CNN) -- A federal jury Thursday found a 32-year-old Minnesota woman guilty of illegally downloading music from the Internet and fined her $80,000 each -- a total of $1.9 million -- for 24 songs.
Jammie Thomas-Rasset's case was the first such copyright infringement case to go to trial in the United States, her attorney said.
Attorney Joe Sibley said that his client was shocked at fine, noting that the price tag on the songs she downloaded was 99 cents.
She plans to appeal, he said.
Cara Duckworth, a spokeswoman for the Recording Industry Association of America, said the RIIA was "pleased that the jury agreed with the evidence and found the defendant liable."
"We appreciate the jury's service and that they take this as seriously as we do," she said.
Thomas-Rasset downloaded work by artists such as No Doubt, Linkin Park, Gloria Estefan and Sheryl Crow.
This was the second trial for Thomas-Rasset. The judge ordered a retrial in 2007 after there was an error in the wording of jury instructions.
The fines jumped considerably from the first trial, which granted just $220,000 to the recording companies.
Thomas-Rasset is married with four children and works for an Indian tribe in Minnesota.
