so they wouldn't be eliminated, figuring the other dancers were too good to be eliminated. I agree it's too much of a popularity contest and not a dancing competition. On "Skating with the Stars" I think it was Kristy Swanson who fell in love with her teacher/partner, and he left his wife for her and now the two have a baby together.

that's what i thought at first. i felt like she gave up on us sm
we live out in the country, no kids out here to play with. he loves the woods. we have five acres. he goes out in the woods alot. i have a 7 y/o son. they love each other and my 7 y/o is total opposite of my 10 y/o. he's outgoing, can make friends anywhere he goes, will talk to people. i don't worry about him. i'm in the process of trying to find another psychologist/psychiatrist. a lot of them are not taking patients any more. these are pediatric psychs. i'm evening looking stuff up about them on the internet to see what i can find out about them. one of the docs i found got "best doctor award thingy" in 2008.
thank you for trying to understand. my son has also talked about dying a few times recently and in the past. i don't take that lightly at all. yes, he is a hypersensitive kid. he takes things very personally. he is a very good boy, though and very smart.
D and Jane
I was so surprised to see
D and Jane books in our local book store this past weekend. I didn't think they were still in print. When I told my daughter about them she looked at me like I had two heads!
LOL. I didn't realize I couldn't type out D???. I couldn't even use the ! in it like the poster above.
Jane Erye
I think I watched that old movie one too many times. Crazy wife in the attic, adorable daughter without a mother, moody misunderstood man.......
Well, according to their website WE DID get the most votes by over 100,000. So....
I'm not sure how Lockport was declared the winner. Anyhow, YES, we are so blessed to have been given this MRI.
A few nights ago Jane Valez-Mitchell on her show
gave details on the extent of injuries suffered in the recent chimp attack. This woman lost both eyelids, nose and lips and both hands in the attack. They said she may be blind with serious neurologic deficits and is still listed in critical condition. My heart goes out to her and her family. Jane also said that some of the hospital staff are actually undergoing counseling after seeing the extent of injuries.
votefortheworst.com now is encouraging votes for Phil.

Every Indian in America must be slamming votes for this kid. It's the only thing that
stinks. Sundance sang circles around that kid. It had to have been a planned thing. Something just wreaks about the whole thing.
They should take away public voting and go back to judges votes and they should
like 6 so then it's more fair. Randy calls it like it is, Paula can never say the truth is someone isn't very good, and Simon while I agree with him most of the time is rather vile.
THANK YOU MARIE!!!
I spoke on this a few weeks back when some 36 year old guy went on a rant with his parents (a topic posted by someone here, can't recall who)..this guy was whining about his life and it was his parent's fault, etc...I too was brought up in the time when as a child if you did something wrong - you were punished for it, and believe me, I received my fair share of spanikngs, etc. It didn't kill me but one thing it did teach me - that there ARE LIMITS and if you cross the boundary established by your parents - you had understand that there are CONSEQUENCES; which sadly many kids this day and age do not have. I am a believer in the scripture 'spare the rod and spoil the child' and unfortunately it has come to pass with the fact that you cannot discipline your children as you deem appropriate for fear of running afoul of the law, and these kids are smart enough to know this and use it at times against their parents because they don't want to listen. I had written a few weeks ago about a good friend of mine who had a twelve year old daughter who went to school and lied on her mom; said her mom beat her, etc. My friend was arrested at work, had to go to court, the kid was taken by CPS - it was awful. My friend did spank her daughter but did NOT BEAT her, no marks on her at all. This kid did this to her mom because her mother would not allow her to 'hang out' with older kids (16/17 year olds), so this kid makes up this story because she didn't get her way and do what she wanted. The parents were separated, so the kid was sent to live with her dad and she tried the same stunt on him but it didn't work. It's sad that we live in fear of our own children in this day and age.

Dancing with the stars! Yep, she did. Did you see her pass out? I could not believe what I was seeing. Live TV, you just never know what is going to happen. She was not real chipper and bubbly like normal afterward. Glad it turned out OK.
Hey Marie - I don't know where to get the icons
They do make the post much more fun to read. I always see people putting little funny icons in but I don't know where to find them.
You are right on about the hicks. There are just a few things in this life I don't understand.
1. Why aren't people considerate of their neighbors.
2. Why don't people love their pets like we love ours and take care of them the truly decent way.
3. Why there are so many criminals. I just want to scream "hello out there - you need to wake up and live like the rest of us - making an honest life for yourself. If it's not yours don't take it.
Okay, the list could go on and on but am too tired right now. Thanks for the funny little smiley things.
Marie, your post says it all about you.
And where your values lie. Watch out where you point that finger, you have 3 pointing back at you.
Sounds like Marie on Everybody Loves Raymond. nm
Marie is probably a lot nicer though.
Marie's dead doll dance . . .
I kept on waiting for her to "start up", you know, come alive and start really dancing. Especially when he wound her up with the key, I thought the routine would really start. It was the oddest thing.
Marie - I was ROFL reading your post
Sorry I know its not funny especially for you. That is totally disgusting. They sound like the nieghbors we had in Reno, but they didn't have pets - it was their stinking food and stuff they left all over. Why do people live like such nasty ho's. Well we may not have the dog poo but they did do something with their back yard and fertilizer and it really stinks and now we are infested with flies here. I won't call Animal control because they really are not cruel to their dog, they just let it bark all the time then it goes inside once it gets dark out. They do play with their dog too (its constantly getting loose and they are running up and down the street yelling for it - dog comes back). None of our neighbors have their dogs tied up, they just let them roam free. I like the solution that Jim Carey did in a movie called Me, Myself and Irene when he kept telling his neighbor to stop letting the dog poo on his lawn. He went over to his neighbors lawn and took a dump on it in broad daylight while the neighbor watched. I thought that was hysterical. Well sounds like you needed to vent more than I did. I'll count myself lucky reading about you. Four years probably seems like forever to you too. Wish you best.
little bit country, little bit rock and roll Donnie or Marie

Well I too have been there,felt that, got OUT : )

I know how she felt!
I keep looking behind blinds and checking the windows, etc. I think I will keep looking over my shoulder for quite some time. I just wish I knew how it got in! My step-father got a chuckle out of it, but understands. I asked him tonight if it will ever happen again. He smiled and said, maybe. I said when? He smiled and said . . maybe tonight!!
I felt the same way!
I though the ending was very disappointing! I hope he goes on to write more books about these characters because that will make it worth my while. I read this when it first came out in September. After reading The Quickie, this You've Been Warned left a lot to be desired for sure.
Ha! Most of us have felt that way before, (sm)
but I think there are solutions for everything a dog does.
Cats are the really tricky pets IMO. :oD
How I felt when my Dad did it to me
I will not tell how many years ago this has been, but believe me it has been quite a few. My father believed in spanking, using a hairbrush and using the belt. I had three brothers and we all got a dose of each of this method of discipline, and today it still bothers me and brings me to tears when I think about it. I was not a bad kid, just the opposite, but my younger brother and I did not agree a lot of the time. It is bad enough when any child has that kind of punishment, but when you use this on a girl, I believe it does carry an emotional scar for the rest of your life, and I believe it does not teach your children anything in the way of how to handle problems, and how it must feel when a person in authority in their lives can carry out this inhumane act and it is okay, but let a child rebel in this manner toward someone else and they wonder what is wrong with the child, well we are teaching them this is perfectly acceptable to do, and there is nothing a child can do about it. This is the ultimate form of humiliation for a child, and nothing can justify to me that it is right. I know when my father took a hairbrush and belt to my brother and I, I never felt worse in my life. I felt anger, humiliation and just felt like the most unloved person in this world,and being the age I was I did not think it was appropriate that my father treat me this way, and not especially in front of my brother, who I felt terrible for also. Those chldren also depend on their parents for protection, and when a stranger can be given authority to do this, your child is devastated. Discipline, I believe, belongs at home, and there is a better way than this.
I too felt as you did.
I wanted to address the part about being a hypocrite and eating meat. I felt the same way as you do about this. I was a huge carnivore until I was 38, but always dreamed of being animal flesh free. I then went to an animal rights conference and forced myself to watch the undercover videos of the slaughter houses and that is what it took for me to stop. It was hard but so worth it.
I once heard Alicia Silverstone say something to the effect if you can only eliminate one meat at a time that would be a way to start. But if you can't then you try to help the animals in other ways such as fostering as you tried. Fosterers are heros, I can't do it as I have huge issues about letting them go too like your daughter. We all just need to do what we can do. I haven't given up wearing leather shoes, though want to, but I say I am doing my part and when I can I will. I also still do dairy and hope to one day be totally vegan. Just know that if you are trying and helping to be a voice for the animals that is all you can do and try to move towards a more humane way of life in all areas of your life as you are able.
When people say to me, well the dairy cows are the most cruely treated, why are you eating dairy, I say "I am doing what I can for them at this moment, in the future when I can do more I will, but I am doing my part by eliminating meat. Good luck to you Trose, and thanks for helping the animals.
I felt the same way -- sm
What Harrison (#92) did was wrong. He should have been ejected from the game. Most of my family and friends are Steelers fans and we all felt the same way. I'm happy for the rest of the Steelers. Ben's just a phenomenal QB. I hope Harrison receives some sort of penalty to his wallet for that one.
I must say, though, from the getgo my heart was torn between the 2 teams. I was never a Cardinals fan, but then I read Warner's (QB) story and he just seems like a great guy. I hope he hangs in there for another year. It was reported last night that win or lose he would be contemplating retirement.
I also felt like someone was behind me
and I could not turn to see them. I just knew I was awake, knew 1 time on the couch and even to make myself know I was awake tried counting something, threads in the couch, cracks in the ceiling, who knows, years ago but this is without a doubt the most horrifying thing. I knew a monster was behind me, could not turn to see, could not speak, I hope it never happens again.
I felt the same way about it...sm
I was hoping for something outrageously goofy yet touching, like that musical episode they had a few seasons back.
I felt nauseous until about 1 p.m. every day (sm)
and that lasted about the first three months. What really helped me was sucking on peppermints. I did this with both pregnancies and it was the only thing that made me feel better.
Congratulations and good luck to you!
been there, felt that, got counseling
We had been married about 15 years when I began to feel that way about my husband. We do not have kids, so let me tell you that I had little motivation to even want to try to work on things. Hubby suggested counseling (both group and just the two of us). After about a month of this and reading a few books at home I felt 100% better and those feelings of nearly hating him for no apparent reason went away. We worked hard on communication, which we had let slip over the years, during which time I harbored all kinds of hurts and resentments for things he had no clue were even making me upset, mad, disgusted, you name it. We will be celebrating our 24th anniversary this year and cannot be happier, so it CAN be done with hard work. You have first got to put your relationship as priority 1! Please do not just walk away without first trying everything you can!
When I had trouble, it felt like a really...sm
sharp, hard pinch along my sternum. I was given Motrin. I did have a workup first before the doctor decided on costochondritis - EKG, treadmill, echo. I do have mitral valve prolapse.
Well I'm sure she'd do the cooking if she felt up to it.
We can't decide for others when they are going to throw a party, though she seems to be thrusting one on you!
Poor kid.... I felt bad for him
I agree that he surely didn't measure up vocally to the others. He seems like a nice kid, though, and even most adults couldn't take being talked about the way he has been. I really felt for him up there. I hope he has a lot of fun when they're on tour. I think he's going to be getting the biggest reaction from the crowds.
Yeah, I felt bad for him too.
I think his tears showed just how much pressure he's been under all these weeks. He never did anything wrong. It was the judges who let him through that started this mess. He is just a kid after all wanting like all the other contestants to win. While I'm glad he's gone, I still don't wish him any ill will. Just those idiots at Vote for the Worst. They've got to go!
The ONLY one I have ever felt for in their case is....
Years of therapy due to what both of her parents have done. THEY have done it - nobody else - and the child is COMPLETELY innocent at 11....
In these cases, it's only the children who suffer...and these 2 nutcases should definitely know better, not like they are ill-educated and/or ignorant throughout the life.
Evidently they both need parenting classes and anger management classes....they have both created a very bad emotional situation for their daughter and personally she should probably be removed from their homes (possibly placed with a grandparent or some other relative) until these 2 nutcases CHOOSE to get themselves together.
You did what you felt you had to do at the time SM
and I wish the very best for you and your family now. I think you did the right thing by reaching out. I am sure in so many ways he misses you as well. It may take some time, but I think this will have a happy ending. Try to take it one day at a time and rest assured in what you have done by reaching out.
LOL! I felt the same way. I thought SM
there for a minute she was gonna fall off that
HOT TAMALE TRAIN!!!!! 
Wow -- after that post -- I actually felt
like I just got a massage. My hubs bought me a GC for a massage this past spring but I haven't used it yet. I'm waiting until a little closer to the holidays when I'll probably need it the most. At least now, I don't feel so funny about getting it.
I felt the same way about Rose.
She got stuck with a crappy group and had to pay for it. I liked voice and her a lot.
I have long felt
that all of these things should be legalized and controlled but available. The drugs should be available through drug outlets (so the safety could be controlled), prostitution should be licensed (so that health can be safe-guarded), all should be taxed and produced by licensed manufacturers (to ensure save procedures).
Laws should prohibit driving or performing any critical function while under the influence (many drug-users would have to accept that it takes longer to get past those affects than it does for alcohol (according to current research), minors must still be restricted from their use. At least some of the money realized from the taxes and the license fees should be devoted to helping people to stop using any of these things and an educational program should be undertaken to truthfully explain the hazards of usage.
I don't enjoy drugs (including marajuana and alcohal) and would never look forward to not being in complete control of my actions. I don't want my friends to use them either. But to forbid it is not reasonable and only encourages those who are determined, to break the law and undulge in practices that are even MORE unsafe because there is no one to oversee that they are properly done.
I feel pretty darned good, all on my own and perfer to handle that end myself.
I moved from CA to WA and I felt very...
welcome. Maybe it is more perception than anything, but I miss my Washington neighbors very much since I left. They were great people.
No, not really dense, she said felt sorry for my neighbors. the ones who
are nice, quiet, have a sense of wanting to live in a nice community, wanting to have something in life. So, now my deah, DUH to you because she said she felt sorry for the neighbors and the above fits mine to a T. I guess you can take some people out of the country but you will never take the country out of some people. Read again, she is sorry for having nice neighbors such as the doctors, lawyers, judges and the like where I live. Yeh, makes a lot of sense to me. NOT.
Thanks - could you elaborate on how you feel/felt? (sm)
How do you feel normally and how was it different on the med? I have low blood pressure so hopefully it wouldn't raise mine much. Did you get more done? Did you feel better?
Felt same way, but laughed out loud when
she grabbed her one ankle and put her hand behind her head...she was really funny but not a dance for a competition!
what did I miss - have to admit I felt
the whole season was a little boring and they have drawn out everything so long I watch another show in between actual dances- but last I heard they had put the engagement off until after the show - is there other news?
I felt the earthquake in Indiana sm
It was really scary. My daughter was upstairs while I was downstairs working. It woke her up and scared her to death.
I made that comment yesterday and felt bad ever since.
amy
use felt and stitch witchery or glue
make a pattern out of newspaper and just do it until you get it right or use one you already have for template.
You can glue rick-rack, pom-poms, gems - go to craft store and look around. You can write names with permanent markers - or spell them out with gems, pearls, beads. Wish I could do it with you!!
I agree...not selfish at all..we have all felt like that at one time or another..
although some of us probably don't want to admit that...glad she vented to us and not her mother...
I loved the idea about the felt backing
I will look for those, sounds like a good way to save the table. That is the route I will take this year and let the wood shine thru.
I also lost a child, and this post describes exactly how I felt. nm

I am in west central Illinois and felt the earthquake.

It was scary. Felt like it lasted FOREVER. Heard
