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

I really like Blake, find the girls boring this year...sm
Yes, they both can sing, what is different about that? At least Blake is different. I like his sound and how he is not just some other singer. I personally cannot wait for "So You Think You Can Dance." I really like that show much better.
Ok, call me silly, now I do feel silly - sm
With so much tabloid stuff being talked about and this reporter trying to find out this or that from anyone and everyone, I though you were talking about us. India didn't even come into mind.
And I'm sorry but as much as I loved Michael Jackson and his music (even though he had his problems) I'm getting tired of the coverage. Yesterday for 4 hours solid all it was, was MJ, MJ, MJ, MJ....no other news. Nothing about Farah Fawcet either. Not even one mention of her in four hours. Just MJ. This is the same guy that all these reporters/journalists were trying to crucify for his "wrong doings", and now they are all acting as though they cared so much about him.
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

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.
Voting is more fair on the dancing show. You have a

Blake
I think he is the most talented one on the show. There is no one left that can do what he does. To each his own!
Blake.
There is nothing wrong with my hearing. If I were disappointed in the show, I would be sure and not watch it any more!
I like Blake...
But not NEARLY as much as I like Melinda. They are just worlds apart. I was shocked she was booted last night. She had never even been in the bottom 3 all season, but somehow found her way there last night. C'est LA vie!
Yes, I like Blake
and I'm not even a silly girl. We're all entitled to our own opinions, and I have no need to defend mine, though it looks as though I may be in the minority here. Not across America, though. I rarely voted, so I'm not the one who pulled him through.
Don't think for a moment that I'm one of those who liked Sanjaya as well because I didn't!
Blake
You're definitely not alone. He's totally unique and not like anyone they've ever had on AI. I do think that Jordin will win, but I was happy to see Blake in the top 2. I will say I was shocked though. My daughter voted for him for two hours straight, and I'm sure she'll vote again next week.
I like Blake
I think he's good at the type of music he performs and has his own unique style. I liked him right from the start and thought he stood out. I do agree this season is kind of weak and I also think Jordin will win it, but Blake has talent in my opinion.
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 agree, Blake was the BEST and
I thought Melinda Doolittle looked mah-vah-lus dah-ling but the song/singing was not up to her best. Loved what she had to say about giving Simon a chance to say something bad. Good to see her speaking up!!
Also am tired of Haley's legs.
And Sanjaya!!!! Thought he was really good, dawg (as Randy would say). He sure played the camera. I do think he has some extra coaching going on. All those young girls (and guys too) will be voting for him as fast as their fingers can fly.
Phil's eyes are googly. But I love him because he is in the Navy and my husband and son are both Navy vets.
I think Haley will be off tonight.
Love Blake
He's the only unique one on the show. I do believe that Jordan will win, though. She's definitely very talented and very marketable. I'd rather not have Blake win. It seems a lot of times the ones who don't win go on to do very well in their own right and they're not "owned" by AI an can do what they want and not what's expected of them.
I love Blake!!
I love the things he does with the songs he does every week, which in my opinion are not good ones-Bee Gees, Bon Jovi, etc.-and makes them fresh, new and exciting. Now I'm not trying to upset any bee gees or bon jovi fans, but that's just my opinion! I just wish they would have the idols sing current hit songs.
LOVE BLAKE, TOO
I think he is so unique, but I do like his style of music and it might not be so popular with some. I think he has what it takes to do the whole thing, sing, make great music videos, provide enjoying concerts, and make great, unique CDs - I would love several CDs of him just doing cover songs. Then go out and do some new stuff. I'm 46 - but do appreciate his style and music. I am hoping that he wins, but even if he doesn't - he's got a career.
No, I don't like Blake - it should've been
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
I like Melinda, Blake, and Jordan
the others are fine too. At this point all their styles are different. Some copy, some original, some so talented that they will do well whether they win or not. Melinda mellows me, Blake makes me want to dance, Jordan makes me smile.
I think Blake has great voice and
a very unique style all his own. He deserves to still be in the competition. 
American Idol...does anyone really like Blake? sm
I would have loved to see the final showdown be between Melinda & Jordin.... but on the other hand Melinda is better off since she is free to get her own recording contract and you know she will. I think she'll end up being as successfull as Kelly & Carrie... if not more.
Blake certainly not a guy I would introduce to my family
very unclean looking kind of guy to me. Don't mind the short stuff but he looks like a good scrubbing is in order. RNT (really no talent) type of guy.
LOL! Blake should have gone a long time ago.

I think Blake was the best last night, I'm betting Haley goes home...nm

don't be silly....no you are not
You just don't have the same likes and dislikes. I grumble about my inlaws to my husband occasionally, but I am also very grateful. So many people just do not get along with family. I feel blessed and can live with an ugly outfit now and then :)
Boy, she sounds like a collecting fool =)
Okay silly, I am sure you can say
Moo goo gai pan!
That's silly.
They have a giant house (without a mortgage) and lots of room to roam in rural Arkansas. The world is plenty big enough for the Duggars. They are a self-sufficient family complete with a loving mom and dad - still married and in love. How often do you see that nowadays? I think it is extraordinary and beautiful. God bless them.
I'm in a silly mood so......here goes.....
CORN!!!
Silly mood....
CORN AND MASHED POTATOES...... HAHAHAHAHA LOL (Thanks for taking the time to make me smile this a.m.)!!!!!!! 
Very silly question - I know but have to ask (sm)
Did you cry when you knew divorce was looming, even though you knew it was for your own good? Did you have any doubts wondering if you really could have made a difference and "fixed" it? I am a "fixer". If something is wrong, I have to make it right. I feel like I can't fix this and it drives me crazy! To comply with what he wants me to do wouldn't fix it and wouldn't make me happy. And I have no control over how he feels, so I can't fix that either.
not a silly question at all....sm
Nope to all...I had a huge psychological background and while it took quite awhile to figure out he WAS (still is) a passive-aggressive - I know/knew far too much about those types of people and you try to *fix* for so long to NO AVAIL. I don't believe passive-aggressives want help and while some seek out help - many many many more do not.
I was saddened that this *idea* didn't work, of marriage - and my child was 9.....that was a huge concern....but I remembered something my mother said...may she R.I.P....said it was better to raise a child in a happy divorced home than a miserably married one. I tend to agree. My child adjusted rather rapidly I thought - only concern for child was *other kids in school* but child realized immediately (and very unfortunately that it is this way) that every other chair in the classroom was a child of divorce.
We did try therapy and I watched him lie to therapist and try to manipulate therapist...some of these types are very insecure and even feel threatened when you DO lose weight, due to their own insecurities. You sound young - I did it at 42 (divorced) and never looked back and push the child into *developing a relationship with the father* (we do live in same state, it's a good thing I think)
I hope this info helps.....I know that every time I broke up with a man, I regained my self-esteem and today I will not compromise that....ever_again!
best of luck :)
p.s. 5 years postdivorce, I lost and kept off to this day 50 pounds!!! Dumped the weight (him), then dumped my own weight and really like the person I've become all these decades :)
SILLY STRING
How does the silly string detect trip wires and why did she need approval and from whom did she need approval?? Both of my sons ages 26 and 20 are currently in Iraq with the U.S. Army (oldest one drives a tank and the youngest one is an Army Scout and goes out on missions driving a humvee looking for the enemy) I would be very interested to know the answer to this.
my silly typo
I said the doctor dictated "The patient was placed in a sling, no make that splint" and I typed "spling". Just thought it was silly and gave myself a chuckle, that's all.
I think fussing over a name is silly.
I grew up in a family where everyone had about five or six nicknames each. We answered to anything anyone called us. In fact, it was a great compliment to be "tagged" with a special name that was only used between two people. My dad called me "Abraham" all of my life. I have no idea why he'd call his only daughter Abraham. Never questioned him on it, but it was a special tag he and he alone had for me.
So, if your friend has changed his name, and for the past 10 years other people have called him by the new name, that's great. But between he and his family, his name is his name. They might even feel a bit rejected since he changed the name he was known by within his family. Their feelings are just as valid as his.
I don't understand the way the word "respect" is tossed around these days. His family does not "respect" his new name? Must people agree with everything another person does in order to respect him? Respect and agree are two different things. Maybe his family think that he does not respect them since he wanted to throw off the name he was known by in his family?
Was this gotten off some silly conservative

Silly gifts....
My hubby tries! He got me 2 pair of socks and a pair of slippers! He did not read the package the socks came in....They were for foot odor! Haha I won't let him live this one down for a while! He made up for that with an iPod docking station though! As far as food, I am sooooo stuffed I cannot eat another thing. I am still playing with my kids' toys. The toys out now are so much better than the ones we had growing up!
Maybe this sounds silly, but have you
tried leaving the TV on. MA parents dog got so addicted to animal planet she became a couch potato. She had a doggy door and used love to go outside but when the TV was on didn't seem to budge. She put on a lot of weight and the vets solution was turn off the TV. It worked.
CST vs EST HELP! silly question
If I have something to do at 2 PM CST, and I'm in EST, what time do I have to do it? I just can't seem to get the numbers straight....
This is silly to admit, but...
I'm hooked on Guitar Hero III! My husband kept telling me wanted to buy so we could try and I kept resisting. Well, it went on sale at K-Mart, so I gave in, and to my dismay...I'm hooked. I just turned 36 and I'm playing that darned game like I was a kid. My husband loves it and so does my daughter. Strange family activity, but hey, it works.
My scarecrow ... and my silly dog story
This was so cute that I just had to share it. You really have to know this dog who we get a great laugh at because he is a genuine "klutz"! He actually falls over his own feet! I cleaned out the flower beds of things that were done for the season, put up my fall decorator flags, and all that stuff, and in the midst I put up my little scarecrow that you can find at the local Dollar General stores. Sunday morning right after I got up, I heard dogs barking. We live in a very rural area and no leash laws here. Our road is a dead end so it is not heavily traveled. I looked out the front window and saw the usual collection of neighborhood dogs but they weren't barking. I went to the front door -- and there was Mr. Whiskers (our "klutzy" dog)-- barking at the scarecrow and simply petrified of the thing. Another great laugh from this dog. He is always doing something to amuse us -- except when he insists on getting the paper out of the box every single time it comes - then GRRRRR!!!!!
How do silly rumors get started? sm
To make a sort of long story short...I picked my daughter up from school yesterday right before her last class of the day. She had no idea I was picking her up early. (she missed school earlier in the week due to strep and had to work last night so I wanted to give her a little extra time to get her make-up work done. She has art 7th so I knew that would not be anything major to miss. Anyway, I saw one of my son's friends while I was waiting for my daughter. We didn't get to speak cause they were changing classes and she was in the middle of a group of kids. After school during play rehearsal she told my son that she saw me and told him I had to get my daughter early becuase she had cut her hand. Another friend then chimed in that it was bleeding really bad. They were totally serious. These are good girls and I don't think they thought they were lying or just making a joke. They really believed this. I have no idea where they got their info and there is absolutely no truth to it what-so-ever. Honestly I think this is funny. I am not upset at all...just wondering how rumors get started and how they grow and grow and grow.
Never watched it in the first place because it just seemed silly.
Now that I hear about it, I'm glad I never wasted my time on it or any of the other celebrity and/or talent type shows. I've been on a long hiatus from t.v. watching. I'm just waiting for Lost to return this winter.
You know I know that sounds silly to a lot of us women (sm)
but the majority of men would at least have that cross their mind when paddling a teenage girl who is not related to them - seriously. And someone in authority who wants to paddle students - I think that's just scary. A few years ago I would have disagreed but it is reality.
My 8-year-old still sings and does silly
things when he is alone. I love listening to him, it warms my heart. My 13 and 12-year-old are past that stage so I am definitely hanging onto this!! He still likes it when I wash his toes for him and does "this little piggy", or "this little snowflake," depending on the season!!! He still comes up to me and hugs me and says I love you mom. Yea . . . hang onto that and never forget those sounds.
