so you just keep working and posting about mundane things and ignore the sickness in this world, or we can all come together and take out the trash.

    Be selective about news. Read newspaper, listen to CNN. No

    Read really good news on reverse this morning
    including FHA which is for only over age 62 and which is insured. With anything people need to check these out. There are really good ones out there and thanks for bringing this up again.
    Well said and I guess the other poster thinks the people on the news are all racist as well! lol

    Oh my God. I read People.com daily. I was warned today sm

    that one shouldn't read too much or watch t.v. when it comes to the VT shootings. Well, curiosity got the best of me and I read (with great regret) first accounts on 4 students who survived, played dead, jumped out windows, etc. The first student who emailed his story to People.com puts you right there with him. He played dead.  Everyone in his class died except for him and this other girl and she was wounded. I have 3 sons. My heart just broke, literally, for the first time since hearing about the tragedy. I've been sad for them, but not like this. How absolutely horrifying and terrible what has happened there. I am cringing over here at what it must have been like, the loved ones left behind, and the healing that must now take place..


    I will pray extra hard tonight for everyone involved. 


    Right now 120 people have read your original post in this thread
    So that's 120 people that do not mind versus the few that complained. Keep writing. I get a kick out the stories of your little dog. It is better than the fighting and name calling that goes on other boards. Even my kids stopped doing that in middle school.
    She said she wasnt hurt, GEEZE, done you people read the

    Read the papers, duh! People are losing their homes
    for getting into this stuff.

    Goes to show, you aren't that smart. Money in bank getting interest only. Come on lady, what planet do you live on? You are full of it. You are depending on the two most unstable things in the world right now. Talk about planning.
    Did anyone else read about the murders at the Olympics already. Apparently 2 people or family of
    the volleyball team players were stabbed and 1 died and the other is critical and the Chinese man then killed himself.  Funny it isnt on tv but it is on the Comcast web page.
    Poster did not give the ride. Why can't people read something and make an

    effort to understand the whole issue before spouting off?


    Obviously some people didn't read *or get* the whole post about the followup phone call ;)

    See, I knew if I posted after the noon news it would be different after the evening news! LOL nm

    If I don't read before I go to sleep I can't fall asleep. I will read sm
    until I begin to fall asleep. They say reading relaxes you fully and it works wonders for me.

    I used to suffer from insomnia, but not since I've been doing this - about 5 years now.

    Plus, I've grown so much and have gained wisdom by doing so. I enjoy Christian books and reading the Bible.
    you can give the people the facts, but the decision making process should be left to the people

    This is what our country is founded on FREEDOM OF CHOICE!   I'm laughing already; you are just as mortal as the rest of us, and don' even attempt to that you've never done anything in your lifetime that was unsafe or unhealthy. NOT gonna buy it.


    it is wonderful to see how many people have such strong opinions about people in debt.

    I thought that the purpose of this board was to be able to post without being judged unfairly or have somebody tell you how wonderful their personal life is, and therefore you are causing their life to be less wonderful with your irresponsibility. Well, the saying "walk a mile in my shoes" is a good one in this case.  Since you have no personal information about the person you are lambasting because they are looking for information on their debt, you can feel superior.  Had you had personal information about them, you might act in a more human manner. Consider fighting cancer for 4 years, working and being debilitated while you do, suffering the effects of chemo, going into debt to maintain your home for your children and looking for a way out of debt SHOULD YOU EVEN LIVE THROUGH THIS!!  Thank you for the kind comments.  To the judgmental people I say please take a step back before you judge.  You do not know who you are talking to and if you knew the personal information maybe your comments would be kinder.


    I get frustrated by the double standard they use when judging people. They let certain people go sa
    What do you think about the voting process?
    People who go around calling other people "low class"
    have their own issues in life. Ignore them. Nothing like a misplaced superiority complex to make a person feel good about themselves. Like they've never done anything gauche or made a faux pas. It must be nice for them to be so perfect and live in a glass house.

    For that matter, you probably saved your piggy's life by popping that mondo zit! It could have gotten infected or something.... (yes, I have a zit popping fixation myself, but you were really descriptive on that pig zit. gag LOL)

    Man, you would have appreciated the time one of my relative's popped a HUGE cyst on her face. I was standing right next to her at the time and leaned back because I knew it was going to blow. It did! Big time! All over the wall, mirror and light fixture. I'm still disgusted by the thought of it 10 years later. LOL In a revering kind of way...
    some people did, some people didn't. It's their choice.

    Fox news
    And . . . you're more upset about the poor grammar than the actual subject of the story - a man shooting his supervisor!
    not new news here in FL

    well Howard murdered Daniel and Anna Nicole for one reason only--  dinero there are things reported here in Broward-Dade that arent on the national news


    They better not. According to FOX NEWS
    she was handcuffed and tossed in cruiser. I missed it. SHUCKS.
    news
    Yes this is terrible. I am surprised the family members didnt freak out and run back and get the doc. YOu can bet i would have been screaming like a freak and grabbing someone if that was my family member
    any more news?
    nm
    Yes, that's news to me too!!
    we have pets in our house but can't say I've ever heard the above.
    Old news
    Yes maybe old news, but isn't it still illegal?
    Much news
    Thanks for asking. CJ had an ultrasound, which confirmed the pneumothorax but they could not find any tear or other reason for it. Because they had serial chest x-rays (yay me) and now the Doppler, they are confident there is NO LUNG CANCER. They were therefore good to perform thoracentesis, and this released 3 liters of air (wow). CJ is now resting much more comfortably. They will check for any re-accumulation of air at 5:00 and release anything they find, and if all goes well, we can pick him up at 5:30. Then we will hope that his body is able to heal. There will be rechecks. We will be tapering off the prednisone but give him doxycycline to prevent infection. Pretty good compared to thinking we were going to have to put him to sleep, eh??

    I will attempt to get some money back from that first vet. Turns out the pneumothorax was clear as day on that FIRST chest x-ray, the one they only took because I was so insistant he couldn't breathe.

    Prayers are appreciated!
    I saw this on the news also
    And was wondering the same dang thing. People do not use their heads for some reason. And then go on TV and expose their stupidity...not me! If a psychiatrist asked me to pull up my shirt, I'd lay him out and leave...then call the cops.
    Wow. So much. First of all, I'm sorry for this news. Awfully sorry. sm
    I can't imagine that kind of diagnosis.
    After being severely depressed most of my life and then finding God (please don't move this to the religion board), I have determined in my heart and mind to live life to the fullest each and every day. I play lots of board games with my kids, call my mom, keep scrapbooks and journals, teach 2 classes at our church, and I study the Bible avidly.
    I try to show love and kindness to every person in my life. Whenever I'm with others, I try to make it a point to listen twice as much as I talk and show genuine care and concern. I call people I haven't seen much in church to check up on them. I pray for people all the time. I take long, hot showers. When I am off work, I actually don't work! I can go on and on and on. I don't want to think of "if I only had so many days left," because I know that tomorrow may be the day I die. I don't want to waste any of it right now.

    I am aspiring to be a speaker and travel the country giving my testimony, writing books, and encouraging women (especially depressed women) that THERE IS AN AWESOME PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE. You just have to find out what it is and live it. Every day.
    I saw this in the news also. They say that one
    of the things that may have helped save his life is that workers like this are taught what to do and how to brace their body in case of a fall. I can't imagine I would have my wits about me enough to remember what I was taught. This truely is amazing and definitely the work of the Lord.
    News to me
    Riley Children's Foundation -Riley Hospital for Children is my choice. :)
    I saw this on the news the other day...how sad
    they let out child molsters and rapists at the drop of the hat but it's a big deal to let this guy out long enough to see his daughter. what a sick society we live in.
    Yes, just saw that on the news. Here is more
    BREAKING NEWS

    updated 11 minutes ago
    NEW HAVEN, Connecticut - A spokeswoman for screen legend Paul Newman said Saturday that the actor had died at age 83.

    Spokeswoman Marni Tomljanovic said Newman died Friday of cancer. No other details were immediately available.

    Newman was nominated for Academy Awards 10 times, winning a regular Oscar in 1987 for "The Color of Money" and two honorary ones. He was equally at home in comedies such as "The Sting" and dramas such as "Hud."

    So sad. What a handsome man he was.
    This is old news....
    Rachel Maddow, news reporter of MSNBC just came out.
    i am sorry for the news...
    but, you may well be right on 2 counts -- that it may work out for the best (rather than tragedy on vacation) and life IS good -- (not was) -- your vacations can just come a bit later!! God bless.
    sad news

    Nip/Tuck, my all time favorite medical show is getting cancelled.  I wish they had worked in a story about McNamara Troy dealing with a loony MT!  Anyone else have a favorite doc drama?


    bad news
    I know how this can be as I have an overbearing hubby when it comes to finances. Personally, I would wait until he is in that "chatty" kinda good mood and then say I have something to tell you and dont freak out!!
    Have you guys seen the news...

    about the alert and info on the 9-month-old?  People just blow my mind with some of the things they pull these days!!!



    Wonderful news
    What great news! I'm so happy to hear that you have a healthy baby. Good luck. It's too bad your first doctor had to scare you like that.
    Wow ... that's fantastic news!
    I'm very happy for you.
    That is really good news sm
    It is really hard, and I am glad you found a solution that will work for you.  Please, keep us updated and how she does in the new school. 
    That's great news!

    I hope all of them get adopted out to loving homes.  Bless you for what you are doing, I'm sure it hasn't been easy.

    news on Cho....notified NBC between 8-9 a.m.

    Cho manifesto?


    VT killer mailed video and multi-page statement to NBC in between shootings



    Reuters, with files from National Post

    Published: Wednesday, April 18, 2007

    BLACKSBURG, Va. — The gunman who went on a rampage at Virginia Tech university sent a "rambling" and "disturbing" account of his grievances to NBC between the first killing, when two people died, and his slaughter of 30 others, the network said Wednesday.


    MSNBC, an affiliate of NBC, said the material included video and a multi-page statement. It said the broadcaster handed the material to the FBI.


    In Monday's rampage, the worst in modern U.S. history, a man and a woman were killed in a student dorm in the first shooting while the others were shot in a classroom building on the campus about two hours later.

    The gunman, a student identified by the university as Cho Seung-Hui, then shot himself dead.

    The correspondence with NBC was confirmed by Steven Flaherty, the Virginia state police superintendent, who told reporters at the university: "Earlier today NBC news in New York received correspondence that we believe was from Cho."


    He said it included "photographs, video and multiple writings."


    MSNBC said NBC officials would not disclose the contents of the material pending the FBI’s review.


    According to a report on MSNBC.com, the package was time-stamped in the two-hour window between Monday's shootings and sent to NBC News head Steve Capus. Capus told the news Web site that Cho talks to the camera in the videos, vaguely referring to the shootings in one instance and stating that "This didn't have to happen."


    Police feel the package may represent "a very new, critical component of this investigation," Capus added


    ------------------


    well, appears that he wanted minutes of fame (by his notifying NBC in between the two shootings, making it premeditated for sure).....very sad....


    God Bless Them All.....


    Good news!!

      IT ISN'T BEDBUGS!!!


    We had the exterminators over and they said they have extensive experience treating bedbugs, in fact they are fighting them at a local hotel right now along with a number of private homes.


    They didn't see any evidence of bedbugs and they said the marks on my husband don't look like bedbug bites at all.  They suggested that he see his doctor, which he is going to do.


    Woohoo!!  I am sorry my husband is suffering, but we are both GLAD it isn't bedbugs.


    That IS good news! Now he can come in

    Hopefully good news
    I go to a senior citizens place and this morning found out they are starting ceramic classes the last of this month. First of all I am really pleased just to go but uppermost in my mind is the possibility I might be able to do my own gravy boat. I really love crafts, wish I had my mothers genes in that regard, but don’t so I need instructions and then follow along but still love doing things and might even get that boat I need. Lucky me!!
