IT IS BEGINNING TO LOOK
Here I am in southern Indiana (right across the river from Louisville, KY) and it is simply beautiful here today! Of course, I get to stay at home and don't have to battle the elements - just keep the fire going!
The temp is around 32 with a brisk wind and it has been snowing furiously for the past half hour. We are only to get a dusting. The birds are flocking to the feeder - gold and scarlet finches, red-headed woodpecker, two pairs of cardinals, nuthatchers, snowbirds, wrens. Top this off with Christmas music playing in the background --- it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
House is totally decorated - in every room including bathrooms - Christmas shopping is probably 2/3 done and ... a whole pile of work waiting on me so I'd better get moving!!!
Merry Christmas to one and all. Don't forget the Reason for the Season!
I am beginning to wonder --sm
about the molestation part too, as he did mention, in what I had the opportunity to hear, rape and molestation several times in his diatribe. Last night on the news, they did several interviews with men and women who had gone to school with him either in high school or at VT and ALL of them said that he never spoke ...ever! When he wrote his plays, the class was supposed to discuss them with the writer for comments and to try to understand what he meant by writing them. When he was asked, he would not speak...not even to the teacher. Several students said that they would try to speak to him or include him in conversations and he would just ignore them. One of his dorm mates said he never spoke to anybody there, ever. There was another teacher, a female, who had asked him to be removed from her class because he was so disruptive and he frightened her. He was also complained against for taking pictures of girls' legs from under his desk with his cell phone. I really don't understand the revolution part either, but he did seem to have some ill feelings for some political leaders, too. How does one become so hateful? I guess we will never really know the answer to that.
Did from the beginning, but then (sm)
we turned off HBO to save money, so I haven't seen this season, but I plan on renting it when it's over. I love that show!! Especially Nikki.
They like him now, in the beginning it was
little difficult. The first time they met him was at the zoo for a picnic through his work. They were 10 and 5 at the time, so that way they weren't just thrown together with him one-on-one like if I had had him over to dinner. In the beginning we did things like that, or went to the movies where they really didn't have to interact all that much with them. Then gradually he was around more and more. They are now 18 and 13 and they get along great. He had an adjusment to make as well, his kids are 25 and 22, so he wasn't used to being around little ones again. We have been together 8 years now, and they just sort of expect him to be around all the time. I didn't try to force him or them on each other, but they knew about him, and once they saw I was happier with him than I had been in years, they adjusted pretty well.
Was beginning to think it was must me
We were old-time Folger's fans until recently, and I told my husband to change the type of coffee we were buying. Folger's tasted different, almost a bitter taste. I too used bottled water, and we changed our coffee pot too. It didn't work, so I am glad to know it was not just my taste buds that were off. It also smelled different.
I'm beginning to think the way to solve this whole (sm)
illegal invasion is to start suing the employers of these criminal scrum (it is after all illegal to be hiring them). The govt won't do anything about them. It's time to use the justice system. Every time one of these criminals kills, rapes, abuses, etc., all the families should sue the employer for criminal negligence. But for the fact they hire these criminals, they wouldn't be able to stay in the US to do their dirty deeds. Hmmm, maybe we need to turn the ambulance-chasing lawyers onto this. It just might work.
I hit hard at the beginning...sm
I work at the beginning of the pay period to get ahead a little bit so if I have a slacking day, I am okay. It is hard to stay motivated constantly, but this way most of the time, I see myself ahead of the game money wise and that motivates me more. I also keep a checklist of the bills and goodies that i want and check them off as i accumulate the money. Keeps my spending under control AND feels great when all those bills have check marks next to them. Doing this stuff, i have almost doubled my production over the last six months. Hope one of these help!
In the beginning, I thought she was really
talented, but now not so much. Maybe she's just not as good as the others or not progressing as much as they are.
And I agree about the diva attitude. That will work against her because the ones who get an attitude and are rude to the judges don't seem to last long & lose popularity with the voters...
I like Adam....Have from the beginning...
I hope he wins. He is a rocker, have you listened to a rocker who doesn't scream?
Here's the Fugitive beginning narration
As quoted from this site: http://www.tvacres.com/begin_police.htm
" [Voice of William Conrad on regular opening] "The Fugitive...a QM Production...starring David Janssen as Dr. Richard Kimble, an innocent victim of blind justice, falsely convicted for the murder of his wife, reprieved by fate when a train wreck freed him on route to the death house, freed him to hide in lonely desperation, to change his identity, to toil at many jobs, freed him to search for a one-armed man he saw leave the scene of the crime, freed him to run before the relentless pursuit of the police lieutenant obsessed with his capture...Tonight's Episode..."
I get mine taken off Sep. 26. In the beginning your whole mouth sm
feels weird, your lips feel swollen, and you do "feel" ugly when you open up your mouth. I don't even remember they are on anymore.
It's a small price to pay since you will yield great results in the end.
For me, I have clear on top and metal on the bottom. The problem I have is keeping them white since I love colas and teas - they stain easily, so I always rince with cold water after drinking tea or soda.
I see you are complaining about how you look and not about how you feel. The first 2 weeks I couldn't even eat! It was probably the most painful think I've ever experienced with intense jaw and teeth pain and I've had 3 children!
In any case, good luck!
PS: The office who takes care of my braces say that 50% of their patients are adults.
That's because it should be http at beginning, not https. NM

What infuriates me is that in the beginning he pleaded
totally innocent, knew nothing about it. Then he was offered a plea bargin and of course his attoney told him he'd better take it to get less time. . . now all of a sudden he takes full responsibility and is SO SORRY. People like him turn my stomach. I think he should be thrown into water and electricuted like the poor dogs who either died that way or had their skulls crushed. I can't even look at his face.
If I'm at the beginning, I'll start
with flour and oil or drippings. If I'm at the end, I'll use cornstarch and water.
She's beginning to remind me of Michael Jackson....sm
someone crying out for help but no one getting through to them. Of course Michael would alienate or fire anyone that told him he was crazy. Sad thing for Brittney is that this bizarre behavior will hurt her in her custody attempt for the kids, and if she's that mentally unstable she shouldn't have the kids.
Just beginning my journey in elder care
93-year-old dad fell six weeks ago (luckily, didn't break any bones). However, he is now dependent on a walker. My 86-year-old mom is getting burned out from taking care of him.
They live in another state and I just visited last weekend. Starting to get an idea of the situation and what they need, what I can do (from a distance), with visits every two months or so.
A friend had a lot of good suggestions. I also am reminding myself that I need to take care of myself (am dealing with a stressful job situation) in order to be able to help them out.
Do you wake up early in the AM with the beginning of pain? (sm)
My migraines were often caused by a sinus headache run amok. I would wake up early, like 4:00 AM, with a tiny little sinus headache. If I was too lazy to get up and take something for it, (decongestant with pseudoephedrine in it) and 2 aspirin, I'd wake up with an out-of-control headache at 8:00 AM that would no longer respond to anything. That in turn would usually trigger a migraine. For me anyway, the secret to preventing the migraine was getting that sinus headache under control. The best combination (for me) was 2 regular-strength Sudafed and 2 extra-strength Excedrin (or Excedrin Migraine) taken immediately upon feeling even the slightest twinge in the early morning. Then I'd go back to sleep, ND 9 times out of 10, I'd wake up headache-free.
For out-of-control migraines, (or when I was out of Imitrex), I had good results with lying down & placing an ice bag directly on the exact spot where the pain was on the top right side of my head, and PUSHING ON IT. Once the proper dilated vein or artery was getting chilled, I would feel relief, but ONLY if I remained absolutely motionless, and KEPT ON PUSHING. Under the best circumstances, I could sometimes abort the migraine in an hour or two. At at the very worst, at least it made it easier to endure.
Sometimes sucking on a popsicle helps, too! (But probably not a good idea for the sinusitis!) ;D
With a recent sinus INFECTION, I got good, though not long-lasting, pain relief with Excedrin Sinus Headache, which has no aspirin in it.
Have you tried changing brands (or permanancy) of hair colors? Maybe you're allergic to the fumes, if it's not causing your skin to break out.
Interesting Note: I refer to my migraines in the past tense because in the past 6-8 years they've gradually disappeared, and are now rare, and considerably milder. Menopause may have played a role, but about the same time the headaches began to disappear, I had been diagnosed with depression and begun taking an SSRI. SSRIs have recently been found to reduce or eliminate menopausal symptoms, and I believe it, as I never had any symptoms at all - not even a single hot flash. I notice while transcribing (especially Neurology...) that lots of people who have depression also have migraines. Coincidence? I'm starting to think not. My depressive episodes almost always coincided with a migraine, and it was impossible to tell which one might have caused the other. SO --- if SSRIs can cure hot flashes, I wonder if they might also be helping with the migraines, which are also a result of dilated blood vessel(s)??? Food for thought. Might be worth asking a neurologist about.
As for migraine PREVENTION, I learned a lot from a doctor I used to have who GOT migraines. (BIG difference between that type of doc, and one who DOESN'T get them!) He told me to avoid:
1. Strobe lights or strobing fluorescent lights.*
2. Sleeping in late on weekends if I normally get up early on weekdays.
3. Skipping meals.
4. Movies, cartoons or TV shows with bright flashing colors/lights and jerky movements.*
5. Looking at copy-machines while they are photocopying.*
* (This is because migraines are believed by some doctors to be related to epileptic attacks - the aura, that post-ictal feeling afterwards, etc., and some epileptic attacks can be triggered by strobes and flashing lights. I've even had them brought on by driving along a highway with frequent, intermittent changes from sun to shade caused by a row of tall trees on one side with the sun behind them.)
One more "handy hint", then I'll shut up! You know how when you have a migraine attack, and one by one have to cross things off your day's "to-do" list, including social commitments? And when you call to cancel, people treat you like a malingerer, telling you to just "take an aspirin" and "shake it off?" Or even getting angry and yelling at you? Well, I got tired of that, and started telling folks I had the FLU, instead. Same symptoms, but "flu" is something people can relate to and understand! (Plus they don't want to catch it from you!) ;p
Cold/sinus infection with beginning of period?
Okay, here's the deal. The day before my period, for the last year or so, I get a horrendously bad cold/sinus infection/flu-type process. It usually goes away about a day or two after my period. I have never ever had this happen before and its really bad this month. I have all the symptoms... stuffiness, red runny eyes, runny stuffy nose, pounding headache, throat like daggers, etc. It started as postnasal drip yesterday and I thought ohhh great... here we go. Needless to say I was up most of last night in complete tears because of the pain of it all and not being able to swallow at all. I have tried researching on the internet about this happening, but can't find any information. Has anyone heard of this or had this happen? I just want to stop it. truly, I would take the worst god awful cramps over this torture. I have had this both on and off the pill and I am only 31. Any information would be appreciated as I know what a wealth of information our community could be. Unfortunately, I am in Europe and so I can't go to my GP easily. The doctors here don’t do anything about anything unless its major either and I know they will brush it off as some silly sinus infection, but it happens every month and goes away in 3 days on its own, so it can't be a run of the mill thing. Any advice is welcome. I go home to the US in 6 months and I can wait if I have to, but maybe some angel out there knows something to help. I have tried tons of medications and herbal things/natropathic and nothing works except my period being established.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the icky topic. ;)
this is explained in writing beginning school year.

I agree, in the beginning the media was in such a hype that we got panicky
and now they slowed down too much with the reporting so that we got the impression that it is over, but it is not yet!
Stay careful, out there....
Well, I watched it and what I got out of it
was that it was a very impressive and famous defense team, an unprepared and unknown prosecution team, and apparently a bunch of either not too bright or biased jurors. It was the joke of the century not the crime of the century as far as I am concerned. Nicole and Ron Goldman's blood was found in his car and his blood was at the scene! Case closed.
I watched every day
I felt he was guilty, still do.
i watched that also
on fox but another network reported that Entertainment Tonight actually made a sizable contribution to the church. would be interesting which one is actual the truth
Has anyone else watched this stuff?
I watched this on CNN last night and this guy had been planning this for a LONG time. Even the news station had to edit the video because of language and could not show all the pictures either, much less read anything of what he wrote. One newscaster did say, however, after reading over some of what this guy was spouting off in his video, was that the whole motive behind any of this was envy. Envy of what other people had, as far as possessions. He even idealized himself as a martyr, comparing himself to Jesus Christ. This guy had been stated as being an imminent danger to himself and others two years ago by a clinical psychologist! Now really, I seriously do not think any of his sick psychosocial mental fixations had anything to do with him being from korea! He was just a walking time bomb that exploded. JMO
I watched it today
not too bad, kind of leaves you with the idea that their lives will go on as usual with the normal changes etc. Of course it is just a television show ;-)
Watched it - YUK - Can you say Morticia?
nm
I thought the same but then I watched
and thought it was surprisingly good. It always amazes me to see how people with billions of dollars live. I can't even imagine living her life for one day. Must be nice. I say good for her for snagging a billionaire! I said snagging, not shagging. Well, that too. LOL
OMG! Watched on HBO and I was disturbed too. SM
I can't believe you posted this. I watched late last night on HBO. Five minutes into the movie you knew what was going to happen. The glowing reviews stated the fantasy part was wonderful, but found the fantasy as dark as the reality. What a grim story. I thought something was wrong with me, because everyone else I know who saw it said it was wonderful.
we watched movies
Chuck and Larry was one of them. We had shrimp cocktail and stuffed clams and those little hot dog pastries and mini quiches, and then at midnight champagne and Italian pastries. It was a nice night. Happy 2008 all.
I haven't watched it, but
I believe it's the real thing. I watch a lot of reality shows, but this one definitely didn't interest me.
I watched the Dog Whisperer
deal with this very situation, but, sorry, for the life of me I can't remember his solution, but they implemented it and it worked. Maybe he has a website or a book? Sorry no help, but Good Luck!
I haven't watched N/T yet
Unfortunately I've got a nasty cold and went to bed really early last night. I'm going to watch it this afternoon. I heard there were major cliffhangers.
I haven't watched it yet, but
isn't it to the performer's advantage not to win? I know they're all under contract because they go on tour, but doesn't the winner have to pay AI a proceed of their net sales if they produce an album? I might be wrong on that, but I think that's what I remember reading somewhere when the show first started.
If that is the case, David C. would have been very smart not to come out on top last night. He definitely got great PR and exposure on the show, but now maybe can cut his own deal with AI getting any $$$.
As for the performers, I like them both but have been a DC fan up to this point. Of course, I haven't watched it yet (thank goodness for DVR), but DA is just a little too young for me and I like more the rock music.
No, I never watched that movie (sm)
Maybe I'll have to go rent it now and see if I missed something...see what he's all about  .
I watched that one with my husband
We couldn't stop laughing the whole show!! Now THAT's entertainment!
OMG -- i just watched the clip --
if my kids had seen that, I would have died. seriously.
There was something on the net about it maybe being a prank by 1 of the comcast employees. wonder if that's true.
I'm not sure $10 is enough to get the picture out of my head. i let my kids stay up to watch the SB -- thank god we don't live in arizona.
I just watched all the episodes
Clara is so loveable. I wrote 3 recipes down and then tried to go to the website, but couldn't get on it.
She is a lesson for all of us; 93 and hopefully still going strong, even with eating what they had to make do with. Reminds me of our private depression in the 70s when we used to buy a 50 pound sack of potatos and make them every night different ways. Don't want to get back to that!
Thank you for posting that site.
I watched it on youtube, but it looks....
like she is lip-synching. And her voice sounded far away...rather strange. Maybe it's the youtube video that is off. But I am wondering if this is a publicity joke. Her voice, while she can definitely carry a tune, I didn't really find it extraordinary. I hope it's not fake, because she would be an inspiration to all.
I have watched enough court room TV
to know that if someone offers to store stuff for another person, they are obligated to make sure that it is properly taken care of. I remember one case where someone had taken the items that they offered to store and then put them in the hallway outside the unit when they got in an argument. Of course they were stolen! That is negligence. They offered to store them for her. They should have parked them with their own quads, as obviously they thought that was safer than near the street, geez.
I agree that it is sad to lose a relationship over $1700, but they were clearly negligent with her property. If her sister was any kind of a woman, she would have admitted it was her fault. I also think that if she would have just admitted it and said sorry that the OP would probably not have been as upset as she was. I have no doubt some of that resentment is due to the fact that they are taking no responsibility whatsoever.
more importantly, we watched him say he's gonna
and has done squat to find the killer.......ya know why? 2+2=4.
And yes - we were inundated on TV for 9 months with this bogus-outcomed trial.........
Watched all for the past 6 years now
but went to their show after year before last and really disappointed. I thought they would have more of the singers together, left before it was over but I love the show and wouldn’t miss for anything.
His performance was the ONLY part I watched!
DH watched the game by himself. He heard Prince from the kitchen. Since it was pouring down rain on them, too bad they couldn't turn the rain purple, LOL.
I just watched 2 great movies.
We rented Spitfire Grill and I caught Guarding Tess on cable. I've seen both before, but what great movies.
I just watched American Idol.
Girls:
I'm voting for Melinda Doolittle. I thought she was fabulous. I also liked Gina Glocksen and Sabrina Sloan and Lakisha Jones
I thought Leslie Hunt improved a lot over previous performances, but compared to some others I don't think she has much of a chance. I was not as wowed by either Jordin Sparks or Stephanie Edwards the way I have been before, but I suspect next week will be better. I liked Haley Scaranato's song choice because it's a fun song.
Boys (I saw this by DVR so I didn't get to vote)
Loved Chris Richardson. AJ Tabaldo suprised me with a great performance. Shows the importance of song choice. Chris Sligh was good, and then maybe Nick. I usually like Blake Lewis, but it didn't sound original to me. Sundance finally came back and did a decent job. I thought Phil Stacey did pretty well.
Sanjaya can go home IMO.
I watched it. Did you just watch Oprah, or...sm
Did you order the 'The Secret' DVD? I've been thinking about ordering it. What have you been doing that's fun? Care to share? 
I watched it on Oprah and then bought the CD
It's an interesting CD and I really like the theory behind it, which has been around forever if you think about it. What I didn't like was all the emphasis on material things, wealth, money, etc. To me it seemed that was the focus of the CD whereas on the show the panel focused on many other types of issues besides just getting wealthy.
I haven't watched any of it on purpose...
but you can't help but hear drips and drabs without even trying. I have a son in college and my daughter is a junior and starting to look at colleges. I feel so bad for everyone involved, but I just can't watch it.
I have watched this entire thing...sm
and yes, it does distress me and I feel so badly for those involved. But I guess I am one that wants to know why...about just about everything, I guess. It is not an *entertainment* thing, but an understanding thing. On the news last evening, they had a psychologist explain the difference between a psychotic person and a psychopathic person. Of course, he fit the latter, and according to this psychologist (a woman), this person was a psychopath by the time he was eight years old. That is truly hard to imagine! All of this is truly hard to imagine, but it is a part of life, as much as any good things that happen. The newscaster was defending their posting of this kids diatribe on the news by saying that if it elevates people to the point of correcting the wrongs that let this thing happen, then they felt it was worth it to air it. However, they did admit that perhaps airing it over and over again was not a good thing. Once would have been sufficient, and they also said that *copy cats* were reported after EVERY newsy story...i.e. there were some suicides recently, and suddenly a lot of copy cats showed up, etc. it is not just with this tragedy, but with all tragedies that are depicted on the news, internet, or other media sources. It just cannot be avoided. We cannot go back into the fifteenth century and not be aware. We HAVE to be aware, so we can learn how to cope in today's society. Hiding our heads in the sand is not going to stop it. There are other ways to prevent these things from happening and it is up to all of us to find those ways. Unfortunately it takes something like this to motivate others into creating change.
Me, too. Have never watched any of those kinds of shows. nm
