lol, sort of like the dancing version of The Surreal Life show??
But I liked that show too :)
You going to mix dancing and easy listening/traditional or not have dancing? nm

The voting went exactly (sm)
the way I wanted it to tonight. Or the country girl could have gone home. I have 5 favorites, so it's soon going to be painful to have people voted off.
I like both Davids, the Australian guy and dreadlocks guy. I like the Irish girl too.
AI Voting
My daughter and I were so upset last night. I was shocked, that's for sure. My husband said you can't complain you didn't vote. I really was hoping no one would go especially like you said, last year no one left. He was definitely my choice to go far in the competition.
AI voting
Unfortunately, I believe this has turned into more of a popularity competition rather than a talent competition. I didn't vote, so I don't have the right to say anything about the vote, but there was nothing wrong with Michael Johns; he definitely has more talent than some of the others.
good for you for voting with your money
but did want to say that Hanukkah came before Christmas. Jesus even celebrated it. John 10:22
Good for you for standing up for your beliefs. While many disagree or do not feel as strongly (it does not bother me if they don't advertise religious holidays - it would bother me if I learned the employees were not allowed to say Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah etc...), it is always good to take a stand for your beliefs.
Everyone voting for him are just taking him at his word because he sm
isn't experienced in running the country. Ask any OB fan just what he's accomplished and they give you this deer in the headlights look.
At least his rival, Hillary, has a lot behind her in the way of experience. People can say anything.
Haven't you heard the saying? Don't tell me about your labor pains, JUST SHOW ME THE BABY!!!!
my BF and I started voting for everybody except him, apparently didn't help much. We just kept ca

You are probably right, and all the silly girls are voting for Blake...
who by the way is no prize, lol. Raise the bar girls! He's a short little creep. Looks like a young Sean Penn, sort of, with that homely face. lol Can you tell I don't like him at all? lol
before voting for Hillary please read link....
HILLARY CLINTON (D-PUNJAB)’S
PERSONAL FINANCIAL AND POLITICAL TIES TO INDIA
The Clintons have reaped significant financial rewards from their relationship with the Indian community, both in their personal finances and Hillary’s campaign fundraising. Hillary Clinton, who is the co-chair of the Senate India Caucus, has drawn criticism from anti-offshoring groups for her vocal support of Indian business and unwillingness to protect American jobs. Bill Clinton has invested tens of thousands of dollars in an Indian bill payment company, while Hillary Clinton has taken tens of thousands from companies that outsource jobs to India. Workers who have been laid off in upstate New York might not think that her recent joke that she could be elected to the Senate seat in Punjab is that funny.....

Biggest Loser voting question
I need to vote, but I can't find where to vote! Shouldn't that be the first thing you see when you go to the website? Anybody have a link? I want Roger to stay because I think Mark has reached the limit of healthy weight loss. If he keeps competing it is not going to be pretty! Plus his body and mind start breaking down because he pushes himself too hard.
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.
I've heard in Calif they pull from both DMV and voting records
probably to widen the pool - so no help from me - sorry!
Totally agree. Idol is sort of a farce with the voting
nm
But he will still be dancing!
I always love to see him dancing, am going to Hairspray also.
Dancing with the stars . . .
Anybody watching? Is anyone else besides me perplexed that Jerry Springer is still on? 
I'm dancing in my seat
as I'm reading these suggestions. Thanks to all!!!
Did anyone see Dancing with the Stars?
Quite an eclectic group this time. What did you think?
Dirty Dancing
I can watch that movie over and over!!

Dancing With the Stars. I wanted to see who else was staying, but they (SM)
kept fooling around and I would go from one channel to another watching something else, then back again. The commercials were over, and I dashed back into the room with the pan, sat down in my chair and without thinking laid the hot pan down beside me, realized what I had just done, but too late! They didn't even announce the next couple to stay then anyway! I watch the show from time to time, at least parts of it, but never got that into it, just wanted to know who would be eliminated last night. After the carpet deal I didn't care and still don't know!
Dancing Thick crust or thin
!
any Dancing with Stars fans finding this bunch -
difficult to get into or is it just me?
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.
Fair enough...
I was just wondering. Have a great day.
Seems fair to me.
I'll perform it if no MD will.
maybe not fair
I think the problem comes from Christians being so sure we are right, we want to try to save the non believers. . . maybe we should just let everyone worry about themselves. . . it is a difficult subject. . I'm sure non believers are just as sure they are right. .
And I thank you for being fair.

Fair is fair, I mean.
Be fair sm
I learned in journalism class that a reporter must be fair. So would you say the same for Pepsi?
Just kidding - will have to look further into this. Water is very good for you. Don't get enough of it myself, although I do like a lot of tea, so I guess that makes up for the water consumption per day. Now if I could only drink the tea without sugar - that would be healthy. Try honey but kind of messy, usually give up on it, always in a hurry.
Fair enough...
There are reduced rates for low income families and other programs to feed the needy kids. If parents want their kids to eat, they should pay for it.
Is this fair or right?
On another board I frequent there is a discussion going on and I'd love to hear your take on it. It's about a possible law to have welfare recipients take urine tests (for drugs use) in order to receive payments.
You like? You hate? Why?
I am so sorry. It's just not fair! nm

Love the NYS Fair
I live about 15 minutes away and we go every year. This year we're going to the AI concert. It's an annual tradition for us since a few days after the fair ends school starts.
Going to the fair and also going fishing.

It's not really a fair comparison - that may be what she said to you (sm)
but although it may not be true about you it doesn't mean it isn't true about her. I am sorry she said that to you and I would never say any of that to my MIL or about her other than on here on an anonymous board. But thanks for your opinion.
OK, to be fair. I know if you adopt one SM
you must keep it in the house. That's one of the rules for adoption.
When thinking about it (I'm talking about racing dogs now), they are trained to run after a rabbit(?), so, yes, they probably MIGHT run after creatures, should get out.
It's just the thought of those poor dogs put to death because they are of no use to their owners, is horrifying to me.
No, I'm not a member of PETA. LOL!
That is not a fair resonse. I do all the ....sm
things a responsible owner should do. I keep my dog either in my house or in a fenced in yard. I have him vaccinated as I should. He is fed, bathed, and treated as he should be. I do everything I am supposed to. How can I not be a responsible owner? Just because of his breed. I don't think so. My dog has never been used to fight and will never be used to fight. If you don't own one and raise them properly you will never know the potential they have to be a loving dog. Personally a lot of people don't even know mine is a pit bull. He is either mistaken for a boxer lots of times or an american bulldog. Sometimes I am tempted to not correct them.
fair warning!!!! :)
The Wii is a blast! We bought one last year. Last week I bought Dance Dance Revolution 2 for it. It is extremely hard even on beginner! It will literally wear you out and if you are as out of shape as I am, plan on being very sore! LOL I really do like the Wii and plan on getting the fit later this summer. For us, it's something the entire family loves, except the b/f refuses to do the Dance Dance Revolution. LOL
Congrats on your quitting smoking! We are starting that as well. My b/f just started the Nicoderm patch. If he doesn't have too many side effects from it and it seems to work okay, I'm going to start it in a few weeks. I'm currently just cutting back right now. Cigarettes are getting so darn expensive. Marlboro are over $5 a pack and the fed tax increase of $0.62 starts April 1st. Illinois is trying to pass $1 tax on top of that. Pretty soon it's gonna be $7 for a pack of cigarettes. We've had enough.
Sorry to ramble! :)
Good luck to everyone quitting!
Doesn't seem fair.
I have 2 with balances on them. However, I have not used them in a while and have been paying at least minimum and more when I can on time. I don't know what we are going to do. Our mortgage or car payments are all paid up so we dont' have to worry about that but if this happens we may have to put a lein on our house and vehicles. Which brings me to another OMG. I don't know if our vehicles are going to be worth anything since now they are really pushing Hybrids. I don't know if they are going to make it a law or not, but if they do, it is another scary thing. How are we going to afford car payments. How is my mom, my MIL and my dad going to afford car payments like that when they only bring in $800 to$900 a month on their SS if even that.
I do have a bicycle, which i do plan on ridding more often but dang it hurts my legs and my tail to ride it.
ITs not fair, but it does negatively sm
affect your credit rating. Idon't get it. But if you listen to Suze Orman that is one of her big things she is always saying, don't close your accounts!
Fair enough! You mind your own uterus...
but if you don't mind it well and find yourself pregnant, you should have to pay for yoru abortion yourself. The government (and my tax dollars) should NOT fund abortion. I disagree with the procedure on moral grounds, so why should I fund it if you (or someone else) can't, as you put it, take care of their uterus?? Tell you what! You stay OUT of MY pocket and I will stay OUT of YOUR uterus!! Howzat??
That is an extremely fair pay and I would expect
them to do a great job for that. I have had the same problem with them starting out good and then having to go behind them like you said. I would first start out clearly stating what you want done and that you expect a good job consistently, even 6 months down the line. That is what I've been telling everyone I've talked to is that I need a consistent job each time.
