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.
It was especially funny when watching show on Neanderthals and
xx
Plan on watching the show today.
Did not really follow the trial, just what the news has been reporting. Very curious to hear what she has to say to understand her story better.
If enough boys show up, the girls will follow...sm
but if he is still worried about her screwing it up for him, maybe there is a game or some other event he and some friends can be taken to? This was discussed here a long time ago, but when I was a kid, my dad took some of my friends and me to a Phillies game for my B-day. It still makes me smile after all these years.
Definitely - I'm watching repeats out of order now - great show!!

Would I?! (The shining beacon of morality?!)
Hells no. It seriously could be just a coincidence and a tragic accident. It seriously could be insurance fraud. Let the insurance company do the investigating...lord knows they (insurance companies) are employed by Satan himself, and most likely have all the resources the Hollywood CSI shows do, so let them do the digging.
Did I mention I think insurance companies are nothing more than blood-sucking leeches of the underworld?
'Brite'. That stuff is awesome for shining up old floors.

I have a twin.
My husband still can't read my mind like that sister can, LOL.
You could be my twin
I have the EXACT same issue as you!!!! My male cat Gus has urinated on my bedroom carpet in the same area over and over. I tried the pet odor cleaner from Petco called Naturals Miracle. It's actually a skunk odor cleaner, but it really worked for us. Also, there is something else you can buy at Petco that you can spray on the area that will detract your cat from urinating in that area again; probably would be in the same section as the skunk odor cleaner. I know exactly how you feel; it's driving me nuts. He's done it in other places too and it is the most offensive odor of all. My vet told me to change his food to one for urinary health and if that doesn't work then have him tested for an infection. I don't think he has an infection; I think he is just a big ol' pain in the butt that does what he wants.
Anyway, try it out; good luck and let me know how you make out!!!!
You have got to be my twin.
Everything you said is me. (except the bread winning part). Mine doesn't work and has been saying now for I don't know how many years he is going to get a job. But of course, this happens, that happens, blah, blah, blah. Think he's going through mid life phase right now. But he drives me absolutely NUTS!!!!
I'm 48, been married 26 years and every day I say to myself I WOULD be better on my own. We have no kids, own no house or property and the man can't figure out what he want to do. This is not the same man I married and I don't know what happened to him. There are so many times where I wish I would just keel over just to serve him right. HA HA. I always think...if I keeled over right now that would be just fine by me because I would be with the people I love who have gone on ahead and me, then he can do all the stuff I do and it would serve him right. HA HA
One thing for definite is if anything ever happened to him I would never, and I repeat NEVER, ever ever ever marry again. And if I did I think I would choose to share my life with another woman. Men! I've had it. They don't sit and listen, they try to interject how they think you should feel. I've spent 26 years hearing "you need to think about this the way I do". At least all my woman friends understand the ups and downs going on. This man doesn't even understand the simple concept of "when I am having a PMS attack please leave me by myself". No, instead he has to pick and pick at me and push and push. Then when I get me he lays into me and tells me I need to "deal".
I think society creates a life that everyone buys into. My mom always told me you go to school, graduate, get a job, get married, have kids, have grandkids and that's the way life is suppose to be. Everything I see in the news is pushing the idea that you have to have a man to be happy. I just say "oh quite contraire" (ok, could you hear my french accent there). HA HA. I really think that to be really truly happy in life you need to learn to know yourself, know what you want in life and take care of yourself before giving yourself to someone else (whether it be the opposite or same sex).
Are you my twin Tinks? lol
All of my joints pop especially during hanky panky (blush, blush), including hips, shoulders, neck, back. It is kinda' creepy, but hubby says makes for good flexibility. LOL I pop my fingers all the time and always have even as a child. They don't look bigger, but they do stiffen up especially in the cold. I just run them under hot water, seems to help. I can make my right ankle (foot pedal ankle) pop at any given time? I'm going to wind up with my fingers all crinkled up aren't I? lol My Dad always said I was double-jointed! Is that a true condition? 
My husband has a twin!!!???
I ended up painting my room a dark olive color with burgundy curtains and heavy wood blinds. You might consider theater black out panels or black out canvas. I have seen these at wal-mart. Material are often used in hotel/motel rooms to block light. Since you don't want creeping in through edges you might consider velcro-ing panel around inside window frame so it is removable, or attaching rings to use like roman shades.
ABC distributing as some, fairly reasonable. http://www.abcdistributing.com/home/catalog/cat_item_pg.asp?G=350&P=25 If all else fails get him an eye mask.
does he have a twin; can I clone him?

You must be my twin because you just wrote
everything about me to a T!!! I've been in a quandry for quite some time about what I should do.
lol I think I found my twin!
Same philosophy in my household. Don't think it doesn't take a lot of work and a few "episodes" to prove the point. My husband and son like to play those games every once in a while but I toss them right back and now it is to the point where we don't even have to discuss it. They get the message through actions loud and clear.
My favorite is when hubs does laundry and leaves all my clothes on the corner of the bed. Hahaha! First, folding is the hardest part...second, I have no problem doing only my laundry and no one else's. What's funny is it takes him a bit to catch on, usually when he runs out of underwear! lol What's good for the goose is good for the gander!
Not to mention the kids too. At the age of 9 my son started doing his own laundry. Didn't like it at the start but now its just a normal weekly thing...and the best part I don't get those "but it's not clean and I need to wear it TODAY!" :)
Oh, my gosh, it's my kitty's twin!!! sm
your cat look's just like my
Pumpkinkitty!!!
I married my twin sister's boyfriend
:)
She is gorgeous, and a twin to my niece's beautiful cat, Nina! NM

Well, I had to send my twin 3-year-olds to a school.
They are there all day long and I work all day. Paying for the daycare and making more money is about equal to when I worked at home with them in my way, only I am more sane for it and they are learning great social skills. I would really consider changing your hours and putting them in school/daycare/learning center, even if just for a few hours a day. It does help.
Like I said, I feel for you. I have twin 3-year-olds, and I swear they seem worse than when they were 2! LOL!
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.
My MIL named her twin daughters Mary and Mary.
No lie. And now you have a pretty good picture of the kind of mother-in-law stories I can tell. And I do have MIL stories!
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.
I have K girls too!
My K girls are called
Kayce and Kelly. My other name that is K that I love is the old fashioned Katherine. If I had another daughter I would name her Katherine Rose or Katherine Elizabeth.
I have 2 girls though.....- nm

When your daughters ask, answer them at their level. When they are old enough they must to know how to protect themselves...abstinence or steel belted radial rubbers....(Hey, I'm still trying to develop that!) 
Mean Girls!
Go play elsewhere, Boo! You hate guys!
2 girls, 8 and 4..........sm
Okay-
1. 8 and 4 beautiful girls
2. The 8-year-old does have a cell phone, but let me explain 1st. It is a prepaid cell phone. She is allowed allowed to dial certain numbers from this phone. I got it for her for Christmas for various reasons. My mother in-law can't hear well and LOVES to spend time with the kids. When they are they, I like for her to have a way to get ahold of us (grandma is always on the computer for IM, takes up her phone line). Also, this phone is for EMERGENCIES at school. She is a very good kid and has actually only used her phone once with permission to call my mom.
3. The 4-year-old has a TV. It is actually the 8-year-olds, but it is a "princess" tv, which apparently is not for her anymore. She gave it to my 4-year-old. No computer in room, but they do play on Dad's laptop, always with supervision.
4. No set allowance, but they do have chores and must have room clean before they go to friends' houses. 8-year-old takes care of her dog, 4-year-old takes care of the bird.

The girls are 7 and 9
Their friends all have the "real" American Dolls and they have read the books so they want the American Girl Dolls that are in the books from the library and catalogs we get in the mail. They have seen the movies too and loved Kit Kittridge and her friend Ruthie so had their eye on them. Very, very expensive toys but they take good care of their things so I hope I can pick somethings up second-hand.
Thank you for all for all of your help.
All girls are different
My daughter started exactly on her 11th birthday, but her good friend started when she was 10. I don't think it's anything to worry about.
I'd let the girls
People will usually be very sympathetic to the girls' feelings and will try to reassure them that the kitten will have a good home. You know your kids best, of course, but I think it helps when they know that the kittens are being adopted by nice, caring people.
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??
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.
