they are a naturally growing substances. I'm still perplexed as to how you can outlaw something that you can grow in your back yard.

ROFL
That last song definitely was not in his favor
It's always going to happen with those original songs they do. Obviously that was more of a Jordin song than a Blake song. The Clay-Ruben year, they each had their own song. Clay's was "This is the Night." I don't remember what Ruben's was. In any event, they didn't both have to do the same original song. With Blake and Jordin being so different, it would have been nice to have something more fair, more even, instead of Blake having to do something so totally not his style.
Wake up and do yourself a favor....
dump him and move on! There seem to be no redeeming qualities about him. You are either head over heels in love, afraid to leave or blind. You CAN do better, you have to want it and not allow yourself to be treated as a non-entity.
I HAVE A FAVOR TO ASK AI PEOPLE
I record most of my AI shows so if you are going to post anything make sure you put in the subject that it's a moment breaker LOL!
I don't want to know who's going home before I watch it! :)
I'll try not to read the posts, promise!
Oh, and Rose should have definitely stayed. I liked her a lot! Tatiana needs to go on, her drama is like nails on a chalkboard!
I kind of like the multiple personality guy - at least he stays true to what he does! :)
Vets here favor Frontline Plus
I think it's because of our warm climate meaning we have more of one or the other to deal with. I can't remember which way it is, but each vet we've been to here has preferred Frontline Plus. I'd ask your vet.
Do us a favor and hide the phone, please! : (
And can I ask why? Is it just because he is a "male" or what? Unbelievable.
They'd be doing everyone a favor (babies, grand-
favor if they took custody away from the little budding porn-star and let families who are TRULY loving and caring, (who didn't have them simply to get themselves in the spotlight), adopt and raise them, without sticking us with the bill.
Are you in favor of this legislation passing?
Georgia 'Octomom bill' would limit embryo implants
Story Highlights
*Georgia state senator says bill was inspired by "Octomom" Nadya Suleman
*Bill would limit women under 40 to two embryos, women 40 or older to three
*Critics call it a backdoor effort to outlaw abortions in the state
*Bill faces long odds of passing because of timing in Georgia legislature
ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- The tabloid-friendly tale of the so-called California "Octomom" continues to stir debate -- this time 2,000 miles away in the Georgia state capitol, where lawmakers say they're trying to prevent a repeat.
Proposed legislation regulating in-vitro practices came after Nadya Suleman gave birth to octuplets.
A Georgia state senator introduced legislation to limit the number of embryos that can be implanted in a woman's uterus during in-vitro fertilization procedures.
Sen. Ralph Hudgens, a Republican from near Athens, Georgia, said his legislation was inspired by Nadya Suleman, the woman who said she gave birth to octuplets after being fertilized with six embryos -- an unusually high number.
"She is not married," said Hudgens. "She is unemployed, she is on government assistance and now she is going to put those 14 children on the back of the taxpayers in the state of California."
Suleman, 33, had six children before the procedure.
Hudgens' plan, which was co-sponsored by several other senators, would limit the number of embryos a doctor could implant to two for women under 40 years old and three for women 40 or older.
Those numbers are slightly less than what's considered the norm in medical circles.
The American Society for Reproductive Medicine recommends no more than two embryos for women under 35 years old and no more than five for women over 40. The reason for allowing more embryo's in women over 40 is that it is more difficult for them to get pregnant.
State lawmakers in Missouri are considering a similar bill. And England and Italy have had similar limits on the books for years.
At least some fertility doctors say the limits in Hudgens' bill would hurt chances for women to get pregnant. They say that while three embryos are usually enough, there are special cases when they need more.
"What this bill will effectively do is shut us down," said Dr. Daniel Shapiro, a fertility doctor in Atlanta. "Patients seeking reproductive care in Georgia will go to Tennessee or South Carolina or Alabama. They will just leave."
Breaking the law would carry a fine of up to $1,000 under the legislation.
Some critics of the plan also see another problem, calling it a backdoor effort to outlaw abortions in the state.
The bill, which Hudgens titled the "Ethical Treatment of Human Embryos Act," contains language that says "a living in vitro human embryo is a biological human being who is not the property of any person or entity."
The anti-abortion group Georgia Right to Life issued a news release in support of the bill on the day it was introduced.
"Georgia Right to Life supports Sen. Hudgens in this legislation and wants to see strong protections in place to stop the dangerous practice of implanting more embryos than is medically recommended," the group said, saying the plan would help avoid premature births and low birth weight in in-vitro fertilization cases.
Realistically, the bill faces long odds of passing -- at least in the near future. Tuesday was Day 25 of the Georgia legislature's 40-day session. Legislators will meet 10 more days, then take a break until June, when lawmakers will consider how money flowing to the state from the federal economic-stimulus plan may help their ongoing budget woes.
According the the Georgia legislature's Web site on Tuesday, Hudgens' bill had been read and assigned to a committee, but no other action had taken place.
Some Georgians from the lawmaker's part of the state say they hope he has to keep waiting for a long time.
"Unless the senator is a physician, ethicist or other informed professional, he should step aside and let the medical professionals determine what is best in individual cases," Dorothy West wrote in a letter to the Editor of the Athens Banner-Herald, Hudgens' hometown paper. "There are other issues more important to the citizens of Georgia that should be addressed."
I'm all for legalization (though not necessarily in favor of taxation), but (sm)
...at least if pot were the drug of choice, rather than alcohol, we'd have a lot fewer belligerent people out causing fights (though, perhaps, the shoplifting stats for cookies, chips and pop might rise ).
Fewer DUI deaths ... have you seen how slowly and carefully a pot smoker drives? LOL.
I'd totally trade the wrinkles in favor of being thinner.
I'm an adipose tissue roller coaster...I start to pack on the pounds come fall and then start to drop it all come spring. It is so hard to stay active during winter...even everyday chores in winter aren't enough to keep my body type trim, and then there's all that glorious comfort food that shows up around those shorter, colder days that are of absolutely no help either.
Almost time to get that BBQ grill cleaned off and prepped for grillin healthy things like veggies and fish. Now, if I could only hide the blender on myself so those pesky Margaritas stay away....
MMMmmmmm....summer!
